Police identified one woman who died and a second woman who was injured after they were struck by a car while walking across Routes 1 and 9 in Woodbridge after getting food from a convenience store, police said today.
Kimberly McMickle, 29, of Carteret, was killed when she was struck by a car in the northbound lanes of the highway near Douglas Avenue, in the Avenel section of the township, at 9:23 p.m. Tuesday, Lt. Thomas Gennarelli said.
Jessica Rodriguez, 28, of Freehold, who was walking with McMickle, was also hit by the car and sustained minor injuries, Gennarelli said.
The two woman, who police believe were staying at the Douglas Motel on the northbound side of the highway, had crossed the road to a convenience store on the southbound side to get food. They were returning to the motel when they were hit by a Toyota Tacoma driven by Randolph Napp, 42, of Toms River., Gennarelli said.
He said both women were taken to an area hospital, where McMickle was pronounced dead. Rodriguez was treated at the hospital and later released, he said.
Although Police are still investigating the accident, Napp is not expected to face any charges, the lieutenant said.
This was the second fatal pedestrian accident in as many days in Woodbridge. On Monday, a woman left her disabled car on the Garden State Parkway in the Hopelawn section of the township, ran across the highway to a service station to call for help, and was struck by a car as she dashed back across the highway.

The New Budget Outlook Shows that Austerity Makes No Sense
SOURCE: AP/Seth Perlman
The new long-term budget outlook from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, reaffirms that the national debt will remain stable over the medium term, while long-term debt projections have fallen dramatically over the past several years. Meanwhile, Congress has severely damaged the economy with deep spending cuts in a misguided attempt to solve a short-term debt crisis that simply does not exist.
The best way to measure the national debt is comparing it to the nation's gross domestic product, or GDP—the sum total of goods and services produced by workers and capital in the United States. This ratio measures our economy's ability to manage the debt burden. The most commonly used CBO projection in 2010 estimated that the national debt would exceed GDP starting in 2024 and reach nearly 350 percent of GDP by 2050. The new budget outlook projects that debt will not exceed GDP until 2037, with the debt projection for 2050 falling to 126 percent of GDP. In the short-term, the national debt will actually fall in each of the next three years as a share of GDP. One of the major reasons for the improved budget outlook is that health care costs are growing more slowly than expected, which may be due in part to the Affordable Care Act, or ACA. More work remains to address our long-term budget challenges, but this is not an immediate crisis.
While debt projections have improved, CBO's economic outlook has deteriorated significantly. Not only is the economy continuing to operate below its potential, but also CBO has grown more pessimistic about how much potential the economy actually has. Economists use potential GDP to measure how much an economy could produce if it were operating at full steam—that is, with low unemployment, high rates of capacity utilization, and stable inflation—or what CBO calls maximum sustainable GDP.
To understand the impact of spending cuts on the overall economy, we can look at CBO's changing estimates of potential GDP in the first quarter of 2014 and its estimate for potential GDP at the end of 2020. Relative to CBO's estimates made in 2010 about the state of the economy, its most recent estimate shows growth of the U.S. economy's supply-side potential is $351 billion smaller now after three years of spending cuts. CBO estimates also indicate the potential future growth path for the U.S. economy decreased by $633 billion through the end of 2020, following the austerity-burdened recovery.
Austerity is moving this key metric in the wrong direction, and CBO's report shows this policy choice is costing the U.S. economy dearly. CBO forecasts for potential GDP fell as austerity took hold, illustrating the painful and unnecessary costs of cutting spending on public investments, education, nutritional assistance, emergency unemployment insurance benefits, and more. These humane economic policies would be a textbook response that provides targeted fiscal stimulus in a downturn to deliver a strong, stable recovery.
After this latest CBO report, it is clearer than ever that our ongoing experiment with austerity has failed, and it is long past time for Congress to focus on growing the economy instead.

Our Pet Friendly Airline Series continues with more Lufthansa coverage! This airline is one of the largest and busiest in the world, so it's no surprise that they've paid attention to the growing need for pet-friendly amenities.
Lufthansa Airlines offers a one-of-a-kind pet facility called the Lufthansa Animal Lounge. Located in Frankfurt, Germany, this spacious area streamlines the pet import/export process and allows animals a place to take a break and stretch their legs in between flights.
We've explored the Lufthansa Animal Lounge before, but in honor of the upcoming summer pet travel season we're taking another look at all the moving parts that make this busy place a welcome respite for pet travelers.
The entire Animal Lounge covers about 4,000 square meters.
Pets traveling in the cabin who have layovers more than 2-3 hours will also be admitted to the lounge.
There's a choice of 3 routes for pets entering the Lounge: Import, Export and Transit.
Based on the Lufthansa Cargo network, pets entering the Lounge might be coming from one of 360 destinations in over 90 countries.
To accommodate larger animals, such as horses, there are 42 bigger stalls that can be expanded to a size of 28 square meters.
Sensitive animals like birds and reptiles can be housed in one of 18 climate-controlled chambers that will be suited to each species specific needs.
39 small animal boxes are available for dogs and cats who need a break from their travel crates.
Safety and cleanliness are very important concerns in the Animal Lounge. Each animal keeper has 2 lockers for their clothes and belongings located in the "hygiene sluice" to ensure that germs are not carried back and forth between the inside and the outside.
Take a closer look at the Lufthansa Animal Lounge, and if you missed it yesterday, be sure to review the results of our Summer Pet Travel Survey!
Finally, have you ever traveled with Lufthansa or stopped by the Animal Lounge? Tell us about it here or on our Facebook page!
PetRelocation's Pet Friendly Airline Spotlight Series will feature one airline each week during the month of May. Check back each Monday through Thursday this month for more information about the various pet programs and tips for booking pet-friendly flights, and use #PetReloAS on Twitter to follow and join the conversation!

No-one looks forward to their Haggis, neeps & tatties as much as our very own piece of Scotland - Senior Brewer, Stewart Main. And he knows exactly how to celebrate Burns Night!
"A Burns supper is a celebration of the life and works of Scotland's national Bard. An Evening of song, poetry, music and of course great food and drink.
"Guests are piped in and the Chairman says The Selkirk Grace, then festivities commence! Great traditional Scottish fare is enjoyed, none more than the Haggis which is ceremoniously delivered to the top table on a silver platter, accompanied by a Scottish piper. Then my highlight of the evening - Burns's famous poem, To a Haggis, is recited.
"Traditionally, Scottish malt Whisky and Ale is drunk with the meal, and there is no finer ale to be drunk in and around Kent on the 25th Jan than Burns Extra Special!"
Tasting Notes
A full bodied, Scottish style, malty ale brewed from a traditional recipe that combines the delights of the finest pale ale malt with delicious biscuity crystal and brown malts, topped off with generous quantities of the choicest Scottish oats. Brewed in the old style, this truly classic ale is delicately hopped, leading to a well balanced, mature, rounded palate. Savour a taste for auld lang syne with a beer brewed in Kent by a Scotsman!

A deer made quite the entrance when it ran through the glass of Eagle View Middle School's front door about 3 p.m. Monday, after students left for the day.
"I've never seen anything like that," said John Gallagher, principal of the Silver Spring Township school in Cumberland County.
The deer appeared to be knocked out — "collapsed" — staying for about five minutes in the vestibule between the outer doors and another set of doors, he said.
When Gallagher pulled on one of the inner doors, the clicking noise startled the deer. It eventually found its way out of the vestibule and ran off.
"It seemed to be OK at the end, when it ran away," Gallagher said.
School staff canceled a request for law enforcement before authorities arrived on scene, Gallagher said.
No one was injured.
Gallagher said the shattered glass was replaced Tuesday.

"I ordered this stationary for myself as a thank you I love the colors and the sweetness of the design. The card quality is lovely."
"This is the cutest card ever!!! Such a beautiful use of Gold and Pink, which matched my daughter's party theme perfectly!!!"
"Overall I was very pleased with this card. I read the reviews before I purchased it so I knew to expect the texture verses a flat card; however, even though the paper wasn't completely smooth, I didn't have a hard time writing on it at all. It has the perfect coloring for what I was looking for, and it looks just like the picture available on the webiste. Also, it is the perfect size for a thank you card with just the right amount of space to write."
"Didn't notice their note until now, how there won't actually be any glitter. I didn't think there would be glitter, but somehow I was still disappointed there wasn't any when I opened it. Still...very cute."
"I bought these thank you cards as they are the match to the Little Visitors Watermelon baby shower invitations that my mom got for my baby shower. I absolutely love the invitations and the thank you cards. The card stock is a nice thick weight and is the perfect compliment to the absolutely adorable invitations. Shipping time was also very good. I got them a few days or so after placing the order. I would order from tiny prints again."

SAFAT, Kuwait, March 15 (UPI) — Kuwaiti scientists say they have calculated the world's conventional crude oil production will peak in 2014 — nearly a decade earlier than predicted.
The researchers, led by Associate Professor Ibrahim Nashawi at Kuwait University, said their finding might speed efforts to conserve oil and intensify the search for alternative fuel sources.
Nashawi and his team said scientists have developed several models to predict when oil production will reach a maximum and then decline. Some models put the date at 2020 or later. One of the most famous forecast models, called the Hubbert model, accurately predicted U.S. oil production would peak during 1970.
That model has since gained in popularity, but recent studies show it is insufficient to account for more complex oil production cycles of some countries. Those cycles can be heavily influenced by technology changes, politics and other factors, the scientists say.
In their recent research, Nashawi and his colleagues describe a new version of the Hubbert model that follows production trends of 47 major oil-producing countries that supply most of the world's conventional crude oil.
They said it predicts worldwide conventional crude oil production will peak in 2014. The scientists also showed the world's oil reserves are being depleted at a rate of 2.1 percent a year.
The research is presented in the journal Energy & Fuels.

Interview with Bill Perry
JAMES A. DeVINNEY:
What was your impression about local leadership?
From my point of view there was a dearth of local leadership. Ah, what I found is that people in the community seemed to be more interested in their personal goals and accomplishing, uh, meeting their personal ambitions. Ah, I've been somewhat community oriented and worked with people that were working on behalf of the community. So I found myself somewhat left out. I attempted to run for public office when I first got here and uh, people were upset at that, they viewed me as an outsider. Typically when I go places, I become very active with my people, as African-American I don't see myself as an outsider no matter where I go and the African-Americans there.

For systems with sensitive configurations, domainjoin-cli offers fine-grained control over modifications to system configuration files that are typically required during a join, such as editing /etc/nsswitch.conf or the system PAM setup.
domainjoin-cli supports the following major modes of operation:
domainjoin-cli supports joining the machine to a specific OU (Organizational Unit) with --ou organizational_unit.
In order to actually disable the machine account in AD, either administrative credentials for domain or the same credentials originally used to join the machine must be specified as username and password. If password is not specified on the command line, domainjoin-cli will prompt you for it.
If no credentials are specified, the machine will no longer behave as a member of domain but its machine account will remain enabled in AD.
--log filename
--loglevel <error | warning | info | verbose >
--ou organizational_unit
--enable module
--disable module
Note that some modules are necessary for the proper operation of Likewise while joined to AD. If you attempt to disable such a module, domainjoin-cli will refuse to proceed with a join operation.
For some modules, it is possible to make the relevant configuration changes by hand; domainjoin-cli will inform you of the necessary changes and will proceed with the module disabled if it detects that the changes have been made.
--details module
Example invocations of domainjoin-cli and their effects follow:
$ domainjoin-cli join sales.my-company.com Administrator@sales rosebud
Joins the AD domain sales.my-company.com using Administrator as the username and rosebud as the password. This is the typical join scenario.
$ domainjoin-cli --log . leave
Leaves the current AD domain without attempting to disable the machine account as no user credentials were specified. Information about the process will be logged to the console at the default logging level.
$ domainjoin-cli join --disable nsswitch sales.my-company.com Administrator@sales
Joins the AD domain sales.my-company.com using Administrator as the username and prompting for the password. If possible, nsswitch configuration will not be modified.
$ domainjoin-cli join --preview sales.my-company.com Administrator@sales rosebud
Show what configuration modules would be run when joining the AD domain sales.my-company.com.
$ domainjoin-cli join --details pam sales.my-company.com Administrator@sales rosebud

Wayne Taintor
MARSHALL - Dr. Wayne Taintor doesn't let a little thing like age stop him from volunteering his time.
The 90-year-old - Taintor celebrated his 90th birthday on Feb. 8 - retired from practicing medicine in 1986 but has continued to stay very active in the community.
Article Photos
Photo by Jenny Kirk
While volunteering at the Southwest Minnesota History Center on Thursday, retired doctor and avid volunteer Wayne Taintor took a moment to showcase two copies of the "History of Medical Care in Lyon County" he compiled and published.
"If I were to just sit home all the time and look at the four walls, it would drive me crazy," Taintor said. "How much of value is on the tube? So much of it is crap. So if I can be of service to someone else, why not?"
Taintor grew up Park River, N.D., and following his service in the United States Army during World War II, Taintor went on to study at the University of North Dakota, North Dakota School of Medicine and the University of Louisville in Kentucky, graduating in 1952.
From 1952-53, he spent his internship in St. Paul, at the Ancker Hospital (now called Regions Hospital). After practicing in Louisville and then New York City, Taintor and his wife, Berget, whom he married in 1950, had to make a decision on where they wanted to live.
"We wanted to live in a community that was not too large and one that had a school system we were comfortable with," Taintor said. "We had a happy year in Minnesota, so we started looking around that area. We checked out a lot of communities and decided to move to Marshall. And they haven't run me out of town yet."
Taintor joined Drs. Joseph Murphy and Phillip Hedenstrom in Marshall in 1957 and worked in the community until his retirement, priding himself on providing a quality service to individuals.
"I came with training as a general surgeon but ended up being more of a general practitioner," Taintor said. "I cross-country skied to the hospital to work one time and to make a house call once, too. I made a house call on my last day of work in 1986."
In the early days of medicine, Taintor recalls that house calls were normal and very routine.
"We always made house calls," he said. "And all of us old-timers, I think without exception, tried to do what we could for our patients."
While Taintor enjoyed practicing medicine over the years, he also took time to join organizations and volunteer time in the community. The Taintors also raised four children - Mark, Paul, Susan and Tom - and celebrated 62 years of marriage before Berget died on Nov. 19, 2012.
Since 1958, Taintor has been a member of the Noon Rotary Club in Marshall. Shortly after that, Taintor began volunteering at Minnesota Boys State functions, having experienced the high-quality program as a North Dakota Boys State participant in 1939.
When his three sons were in Boys Scouts, Taintor was also quick to volunteer.
"When my boys were growing up, they got involved in Boys Scouts," Taintor said. "I figured the best way to help my own children was to take charge and get involved as a Scout leader with these boys."
In 1971, Taintor was among those who traveled to Japan for the 13th World Boy Scouts Jamboree.
"That was a wonderful experience," he said.
Taintor is well-known at the local nursing home as well, having cared for his ailing father and other residents throughout the years.
"My dad had prostate cancer, and so did my grandpa and great-grandpa," said Taintor, who is a four-year cancer survivor himself. "My dad was 88 when he died."
Along with nursing home director Cathy Bond and Weiner Memorial Medical Center nurse Sue Jackson, Taintor was instrumental in founding Prairie Home Hospice more than 30 years ago.
"The two nurses knew I'd taken care of my father in the nursing home, so they came to me and we basically started hospice back then," Taintor said.
When his wife Berget broke her hip and became a resident of Avera Morningside Heights Care Center in 2010, Taintor offered his unwavering support once again.
"When she broke her hip, I had to jump through the hoops, so I could be an 'official' volunteer," he said. "I wanted to keep her as active as possible, so I'd take her to devotions on Tuesdays and to sing-a-longs on Thursdays. She has always loved to gather around the piano and sing songs. And even at the end, she always seemed to have a songbook in her hands."
In addition to his wife, Taintor said he also helped wheel other patients to and from activities.
"At first, we played Scrabble," he said. "And when she couldn't even chew her food anymore, I'd hand-feed her the pureed stuff.
"Then on the last day of her life, all the kids and I sang hymns to her to say good-bye. She went peacefully, listening to us sing along with the guitar, which I'm so thankful for."
Taintor continues to volunteer at the nursing home, developing human connections with anyone in need.
"Since my wife died, I've continued to go over to the nursing home in the evening as well," Taintor said. "If someone wants me to play bingo with them, I'll play bingo with them. Other times, I'll play cards with someone or just hold their hand."
The smile he often gets from people is enough of a reward for his efforts, Taintor said.
"There's no harm in that," he said.
Taintor has volunteered time at the Lyon County Museum throughout the years and has put in more than 20 years of dedicated service at the Southwest Minnesota History Center at Southwest Minnesota State University.
"He's an awesome volunteer," said Jan Louwagie, coordinator of the Southwest Minnesota History Center. "He's always there when you need him. And he always has a smile on his face and is so patient with people."
Louwagie calls Taintor a "microfilm expert," noting that he checks countless obituaries for people who want to look up their history.
"I enjoy it," Taintor said.
During a six-year period, Taintor also compiled information that led to the publication of "History of Medical Care in Lyon County," which included a summary of past, present and future thoughts on the medical profession.
"There's published copies at the Lyon County Museum and Marshall-Lyon County Library," he said.
According to Taintor, the years have been good to him. He looks forward to spending time with his 13 grandchildren - 12 grandsons and one granddaughter - all of whom he's proud of.
"I'm even blessed to have one grandson who is a pediatrician serving Eskimos in Juneau, Alaska," Taintor said. "He's engaged to a family practitioner, and his kid brother is a nurse."
Currently a member of eight medicine-associated organizations as well, Taintor shows few signs of slowing down anytime soon. When asked how long he planned on volunteering, he had a quick reply.
"As long as I'm able," Taintor said.
Eugene Short
Volunteers are the lifeblood of small towns that might only have a few full-time paid employees.
After Eugene Short retired from his job in heating, refrigeration and air conditioning sales, he moved to a new position in Currie in 2009. He retired just a few years later but hasn't slowed down a bit.
"I was a county commissioner in Redwood County for 16 years," Short said. "After I retired, I was asked by the Murray County Commission if I'd be interested in applying for a position with the End-O-Line Railroad Park."
Short had previous experience with railroads as an elected member of the commission that ran the railroad line that runs from Hanley Falls to Norwood-Young America.
Though Short retired from running the End-O-Line Park in 2011, he keeps active as a volunteer.
"They have paid staff but not enough," Short said. "They need volunteers for yard maintenance and tour guides."
That goes for the city itself. Short is involved with RSVP, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, volunteers at the Slayton food shelf and serves on the Currie City Council.
But Short doesn't regard the city council seat as a supervisory position. When there's city buildings that need to be retrofitted, repaired or painted, he's one of the ones doing it.
"We got the maintenance shop repaired," Short said. "It was in dire straits and needed work."
Other than that, Short does odd jobs such as mowing, flagpole repair and tree branch work.
There's a lot of cottonwood trees around End-O-Line, and every time there's a wind storm, you can find Short and other seniors out picking up the fallen tree branches.
And when that's not enough to fill his time, the annual Fourth of July picnic is a pretty big event and always in need of volunteers.
"I think it gives you a feeling of self-worth," Short said, "being able to contribute to your community's and others' well-being."

Conan tarnishes our nation's 16th President when he visits the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and proceeds to mock everything he can. It's 100% jackassery courtesy of Team Coco.
On Conan's recent trip to Chicago he stopped by the Irish American Heritage Center to learn all about the history of his people, and get drunk dance like an idiot. Mostly get drunk.
Conan gets to the bottom of the John Travolta sex scandal and ruins the good name of peanut butter in the process. Damn you, Conan and your peanut hating antics!
Here is the greatest thing available on Netflix Streaming. . . for you to poop on!
Listen up, kids. While trying to make it in Hollywood you sometimes have to take acting gigs that aren't so appealing. This would be one of those gigs. Hello, regret and goodbye, dignity.
The former host of The Tonight Show gets to rant and rave about the jackasses at NBC and reminds us that he's a great talent no matter what the particular gig might be in this win-win comedy film.
You wouldn't know it, but the cast of Jersey Shore was carefully selected and many Hollywood hopefuls didn't make the cut. Not just anyone can fill the shoes of Snooki ya know.
As hilarious as Conan's show is, it doesn't exactly have Michael Bay worthy special effects. In an effort to upgrade his special effects wow factor, Conan brought in Digital Sizzle special effects team. Only there was more fizzle than sizzle.
A while back Conan showed us a preview of the Sarah Palin History Channel. Now Michele Bachmann is giving us a history lesson on how John Wayne Gacy and Samuel Patch Adams set America straight.
Hard Lessons and Rough Roads:The warm-up to Fourth of July weekend looks to be a bit colder than usual with the lackluster offerings of Bad Teacher and Cars 2… though a former Tonight Show host might save the day.
Sarah Palin's accounts of history have a few variations from how American events actually went down, but you'll hardly even notice.
Late night television sanity will be restored Monday as Conan O'Brien returns. For now check out the funniest 20 moments in Conan O'Brien history.
Yeah, you take so much at your job that you've considered quitting. But you never did anything. These guys did. So check out these seven awesome stories.
In an effort to advance his awesomeness, Conan O'Brien covered Radiohead's Creep before his show in Eugene Oregon during his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.
With Conan finishing his run on the Tonight Show under less than ideal circumstances and moving on into an uncertain late-night future, I thought it would be nice to take a look back at his career thus far and share some of my favorite bits from his shows…

Are you looking to get into the holiday spirit?

Historic buildings, churches and local shops will also be open at many of these house tours.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe, founder of The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP announce that the firms are investigating legal claims against the officers and Board of Big Lots, Inc. ("Company") (NYSE: BIG) related to potential securities violations by Big Lots between February 2, 2012 and April 23, 2012 (the "Class Period").
If you are an affected investor and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, contact Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 706-9314, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. There is no cost or fee to you.
Big Lots and certain of its officers and directors were charged with violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and financial results. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Defendants concealed the following: (a) that Big Lots' consumables line (consisting of household, beauty and health items), which represented a third of Big Lots' business, was deteriorating; and (b) that Big Lots' electronic products business was being adversely affected as shoppers were increasingly looking at online deals for these big ticket products, which adversely affected Big Lots' margins and profits. As a result of defendants' alleged false statements, Big Lots stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $46.81 per share on March 27, 2012. Several of Big Lots' executives took advantage of these inflated prices and unloaded hundreds of thousands of shares of Big Lots stock for millions of dollars of personal gain.
The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC is a full service business litigation, commercial transaction, and public advocacy firm with more than 20 years of experience in complex litigation and transactional matters.
Powers Taylor, LLP is a boutique litigation law firm that handles a variety of complex business litigation matters, including claims of investor and stockholder fraud, shareholder oppression, shareholder derivative suits, and security class actions.

WASHINGTON, July 28 (UPI) — Insurance experts at a U.S. non-profit group advise homeowners to heed the lessons of the Gulf Coast encounter with Hurricane Katrina five years ago.
The experts at the Insurance Information Institute in Washington say those who heed the lessons of the storm stand the best chance of getting their lives back after a disaster.
The lessons include:
– Checking out flood insurance, usually not covered under a standard homeowners policy, at www.floodsmart.gov.
– Creating a home inventory to determine how much insurance to purchase and, if there are losses, to speed up claims processing and possibly provide documentation for tax purposes. The Institute offers free Web-based software at www.knowyourstuff.org.
– Keeping wind and water out. Investing in storm shutters, reinforced garage doors and secure roof shingles. Seal any openings. Attach, brace gable end walls and roof sheathing.
– Having an evacuation plan ready. Keep maps, phone numbers and addresses handy and think about what else to take, such as medicines, documents, clothing and food.
– Take the 10-Minute Challenge, that is, pack and get out of the house in just 10 minutes.

REVIEW: Magic Mike (Soderbergh)
3 comments:
That may be the best description of Matthew McConaughey I've ever read. And I've read many.ReplyDelete
I don't know what it was about this movie, but I just had a freakin' ball with it. I laughed, hooted, hollered, and loved watching what Soderbergh could do with a "male stripper movie". Definitely wasn't a film that had no chance of working but pulled it off very well. Good review Tom.ReplyDelete
Musings on the nature of capitalism wrapped in a very pretty package ... Magic Mike is a film for adventurous audiences of all persuasions.ReplyDelete

Graham Taylor of Aston Villa replaced Bobby Robson as the England manager for the 1994 competition. England qualified for the European Championships in 1992 but again performed badly drawing with Denmark and France, being eliminated when they lost their final group game to Sweden. The mercurial Gascoigne was absent, after he was injured in the FA Cup Final, and this was the first in a series of injuries set to blight his career. England were drawn in a group of six nations with two set to qualify for the 1994 Finals. They drew Poland, Holland, Turkey, Norway and San Marino.
England began the campaign against Norway on the 14th October 1992 at Wembley. Their opponents had already thrashed San Marino 10-0, and surprisingly beat the Dutch 2-1 and arrived on top of the group. England recalled a fit again Paul Gascoigne but would have to do without Gary Lineker whom had retired from International football. England dominated the opening exchanges but went into half time frustrated with the score at 0-0. They took the lead early in the second half when a Stuart Pearce free kick was headed in by David Platt (55th minute). England had another effort cleared off of the line and should have wrapped the game up, but were stunned when a long range effort from Rekdal found their net in the seventy sixth minute. They could not score in the time remaining s o the match ended 1-1.

With three wins and a draw in four matches, England faced their toughest opponents Holland in good heart. The Dutch came to Wembley on the 28th April. England immediately took control and scored first through John Barnes (2nd minute). The lead was doubled in the twenty fourth minute when David Platt scored after Les Ferdinand hit the post. The Dutch fought back and pulled a goal back before half time when Dennis Bergkamp scored. In a nervous second half England struggled and the Dutch managed an equalizer from the penalty spot in the eighty sixth minute after a foul by Des Walker. England had thrown away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2.

The scene was set for a monumentally important match against Holland in Rotterdam on the 13th October. Norway had already qualified, and with Holland being equal on points but having a better goal difference England had to avoid defeat and hope to score a hatful against San Marino in their last match to progress. Paul Gascoigne was suspended and to the chagrin of many in England Carlton Palmer took his place in the team. A furious early assault on the English goal was repelled and well constructed counter-attacks led to the away side hitting the post. The match was 0-0 at half time although England were fortunate as the Dutch had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside. England started the second half well, but the match erupted into controversy when David Platt was pulled down by Ronald Koeman when racing clear in the fifty ninth minute. The German referee gave a free kick but failed to dismiss the Dutch transgressor despite the fact he was clearly the last man. England missed the ensuing kick, but just a few minutes later the Dutch broke up field and were awarded a free kick themselves just outside the English penalty area. Koeman who was lucky to be on the pitch stroked the ball into the net. England fought back hitting the Dutch post for a second time but fell another goal behind in the sixty eighth minute. They could not come back and had disastrously lost 2-0.

England entered the last group match needing a Dutch defeat in Poland to even have a chance of qualifying. Even in the best-case scenario they would need at least seven goals. England met San Marino in Bologna (they did not play at "home") on the 17th November 1993. The match started disastrously when after only eight seconds England conceded a goal, the fastest ever goal in international football. They recovered their composure to score seven unanswered goals to win 7-1 with four from Ian Wright (34th, 46th, 78th and 90th minutes), a brace from Paul Ince (22nd and 73rd minutes) and a solitary goal from Les Ferdinand (38th minute).

I just purchased a used 03 Carve and didn't notice until I got it home and took it out the bag that there is a ding in the top right in front of the rear foot straps. I took 3 closeup photos of it. I am wondering what the best method of repair would be? I have heard of dingstick but since the small crack is in the multicolored part of the top of the board I'd like to make it as least noticeable as possible and I'm not sure dingstick would be what I want for that? Isn't it white? I checked and there doesn't appear to be any water inside so it likely wasn't sailed since the mishap happened. I also read that Solorex is good but not sure if could be used on this board in this spot?
Any help is much appreciated...

With the New England Patriots hosting the Buffalo Bills in Week 17, stud left guard Logan Mankins was forced from the game with an ankle injury. He was able to return to the field:
Patriots Injury Update: Logan Mankins sustained an ankle injury & his return is questionable. #BUFvsNE— New England Patriots (@Patriots) December 29, 2013
Mankins is back in the game #onetoughcowboy #hereallyisacowboytoo— shalise manza young (@shalisemyoung) December 29, 2013
Updates From Wednesday, Jan. 1, at 11:30 a.m. ET:
From ESPN's Mike Reiss:
CB Alfonzo Dennard (knee), LG Logan Mankins (ankle), WR Aaron Dobson (foot) & WR Josh Boyce (ankle) not spotted at Patriots practice today.— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) January 1, 2014
---End of Update---
Shalise Manza Young of The Boston Globe provided a post-game statement from Patriots head coach Bill Belichick discussing Mankins' injury:
"First of all, I agree with Tom (Brady) in terms of Logan's toughness – I've coached a lot of tough guys, none that I would put ahead of him. Maybe on the same level, but none ahead," Belichick said, referencing comments Brady made after the game Sunday. "If Logan needed help off the field ... it was definitely a concerning moment. When (head trainer Jim) Whelan came and told me 'Logan's back,' I was a little bit surprised to hear that.
"But he's a tough individual, physically and mentally tough."
This is great news for the Pats. The 31-year-old Pro Bowler is vital to the Patriots' offensive line, and the team will need him healthy for its postseason run.
The Patriots have locked up the championship in the AFC East, but this game is still important to them for playoff seeding. With a win and a loss by the Denver Broncos, the Patriots could still wind up as the AFC's No. 1 seed.
Also, with the Cincinnati Bengals beating the Baltimore Ravens earlier on Sunday, the Patriots would miss out on a first-round bye with a loss.

No fishing here
Anglers fishing at Bush Point caught more than they were hoping for this summer -- the attention of Bush Point residents.
After fielding an abnormally large number of complaints over fishermen trespassing on private beaches, Jan Smith of the Island County Sheriff's Department turned to the Port of South Whidbey to collaborate on a solution for the complaints.
At the port's meeting last week, Chuck Edwards, the port's interim manager, said he informed Smith they have done everything they can to remedy the situation.
"We've done what we need to do," Edwards said. "Apparently there's one lady down there that calls (the sheriff) every time they walk on the beach."
Edwards said the port has posted signs near the fishing area that tell visitors to the beach and anglers where private property begins.
Smith, who is also a past president of the port, said large fishing crowds at Bush Point is nothing new. She recalled seeing a 1920s-era photo of Spyglass Drive with cars in a row all the way up the street.
"It goes in cycles," she said. "It happens to be a very good season."
Smith said residents complain about the anglers who stand in front of their property to fish. She said they are concerned over noisy and rowdy behavior, trespassing, littering, public urination and illegal parking.
Smith said the complaint calls have lessened in recent days, but that does not mean the problem is solved. She suggested to the port commissioners that they hire off-duty deputies to patrol the area. On-duty deputies on duty have tried to maintain a heightened presence near the public fishing area.
This week, it appeared that this was not enough; someone had taken it upon themselves to solve the problem. A large orange sign posted on the beach had the sheriff's department, the port and Island County wondering who put it there. The sign, which is planted in the center of the beach, says in large capital letters, "Island County land ends here, no public fishing beyond this point, private property, tidelands owned to mean low tide, no trespassing."
In addition to two smaller signs posted by Island County and the port, the large orange sign did not seem deter people from fishing there. On Tuesday morning, anglers appeared to be ignoring the sign -- over 20 people were stationed past the sign waiting for their catch. One person apparently found the sign to be a better coat rack than a warning, and hung an article of clothing from it.
Edwards said the port has no authority to monitor people who are trespassing on private property.
"We have no rights or duties to patrol other property," he said.

Right royal red white and blue plan for Freshbrook centre
The royal wedding on 29 April will be celebrated with a traditional family street party at Freshbrook Community Centre – and all local people are invited to take part.
Centre chair Steph Bird said, "we'll have a big screen so everyone can enjoy the live broadcast of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding and there will be a kings and queens fancy dress, with family fun and games including a bouncy castle."
During the special day families can just turn up, bringing a plate of food to share at lunch. In the evening there is a ticketed family event, with hog roast and disco, as well as entertainment from some of the groups that meet at the centre.
Neal Aplin, a committee member who is organising the event, wants everyone to join in. "Why waste an extra bank holiday – let's get the community together and celebrate a national event?"
Details of the day will be confirmed after wedding timings are announced.

1942: The Jordans and the Englands found Koinonia Farm in Sumter County, Georgia.
In 1942, Clarence and Florence Jordan and Martin and Mabel England found Koinonia Farm in Sumter County, Georgia, as a "demonstration plot for the Kingdom of God." Koinonia Farm will later become the birthplace of Habitat for Humanity.
In 1976, Millard and Linda Fuller, who together with Clarence Jordan developed the partnership housing model, return from Africa, and Habitat for Humanity is formed with headquarters in Americus, Ga. That same year, construction begins on the first house in San Antonio, Texas, Habitat's first affiliate, and the first partnership houses are completed in Zaire.
In 1977, Clive Rainey joins Habitat for Humanity International as its first volunteer.
In 1984, Habitat World, a publication about Habitat's work, is introduced. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, become Habitat partners. The first Jimmy Carter Work Project is held in New York City.
In 1987, the Habitat for Humanity International board of directors approves the Youth Programs department. The first campus chapter is at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

In 1990, Bo and Emma Johnson pay off their mortgage on the first Koinonia Partnership home.
In 1991, the first Habitat ReStore opens in Winnipeg, Canada.
In 1998, Habitat for Humanity International officially forms the Women Build department.
In 2009, the current first family of the United States commemorates the Sept. 11 anniversary by volunteering on a Habitat build site alongside AmeriCorps members. The build is part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance that President Obama signed into law in April 2009.

Download (256kB)
Findings are presented of the first stage of an investigation of second-order effects that influence the resistance and stiffness of single shear bolted joints. These effects develop as a result of joint deformation and the rotation of all, or part, of the bolt. A two-dimensional finite element model incorporating these effects is introduced and predicted behaviour compared to laboratory test results of pre-tensioned M16 single shear joints. The model is shown to accurately predict the load-slip curve, giving better predictions of resistance than the present Eurocode design equations indicating potentially underutilised strength reserve. Furthermore, the model allows the individual components of the second order effects to be quantified separately.

Absolutely not. DISH Network claims they have 200 HD channels, but to get to that number they count part-time, game-only channels and 57 video-on-demand titles that aren't even channels. We're not the only ones to question their count. The industry experts also feel DISH Network is stretching the truth. More info
At DIRECTV, if a channel is in HD 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, then we count it as an HD channel, just like you would. It's that simple. We offer over 185 - more than any other satellite or cable provider, period.

About 160 barrels of a crude oil and water mixture spilled on Monday near a residential community in Belle Chasse, according to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and State Police.
While cleanup crews and DEQ officials remained on the scene Tuesday, residents were told that there was nothing to worry about in terms of health effects.
"It was an overflow of a Wagner Oil storage tank," said DEQ spokeswoman Jean Kelly.
Wagner Oil Company, based out of Fort Worth, Texas, has some oil leases in Belle Chasse. State Police spokeswoman Melissa Matey said Monday's spill occurred from the company's Stella Field Hero #5.
The spill occurred about 7:10 a.m. Monday and State Police were notified about 8:10 a.m. Monday, according Matey.
The spill has been contained, and it was isolated in a wooded area near the tank in the 9800 block of Louisiana 23, Kelly said. She said contractor ES&H's vacuum trucks were at the spill site on Tuesday morning removing pooled liquids.
"We requested that air monitoring be conducted during the clean up activities because it is near a residential area," Kelly said.
State contractor ES&H is aiding DEQ in that monitoring effort.

SPEEA engineers approve contract, technical workers reject and authorize strike | UPDATED
The union representing Boeing's professional and technical workers was handed in a split decision on the company's most recent contract offer.
The engineers have accepted the contract while the technical workers rejected the offer. In addition, the technical workers gave the bargaining unit the authorization to strike if they felt necessary.
According to SPEEA, the numbers shook out like this:
The Professional Unit representing engineers accepted the contract 6,483 to 5,514, but also authorized a strike 6,727 to 5,249, just in case.
"They have locked in a contract that provides 5 percent raise pools for its duration and no increases in medical," said SPEEA spokesperson Bill Dugovich.
The Technical Unit representing technical workers voted to reject the contract by a margin of 3,203 to 2,868 and authorized a strike 3,903 to 2,165.
With rejection of Boeing's contract offer by members of the Technical Bargaining Unit, the union notified the federal mediator Wednesday to schedule the resumption of negotiations, according to a Wednesday press release from SPEEA, The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace.
Meeting internally the day after the vote, SPEEA's Technical Negotiation Team is discussing the next steps in the negotiation process. Those steps include a telephone survey to determine members' priorities for the next phase of negotiations. The survey will be announced and launched in the next few days.
The union has been working without a contract since November.
According to Dugovich, while the split vote is unusual, it is not unheard of. The units' last split like this in the early 1990s, he said.
But Dugovich said both groups authorized a strike, showing unity among the units.
"That's a real sign of solidarity among the members," he said.
Dugovich said if a strike is called, the engineers would not participate, as they have a contract in place they must honor. The engineers could, however, provide and show their support for the tech workers.
In a statement released late Tuesday, Boeing president and CEO Ray Conner said the company was pleased the engineers accepted their contract but was "deeply disappointed" the technical employees rejected its offer.
"Our goal throughout this entire process was to make sure SPEEA-represented employees were rewarded for the contributions they bring to this company every single day," said Conner in a press release. "We believe this offer leads the market in every way."
The primary bone of contention at this point is a change to the prior contract by the company that would place future hires in a 401k program instead of the pension plan. Union officials have called the change a "poison pill" and said Boeing's own estimates show that the change could cost new employees more than 31 percent at retirement, though SPEEA's calculations show the loss to be more like 41 percent.
The company has said the change is necessary to keep Boeing competitive in the future.
SPEAA last went on strike in 2000. It lasted 42 days.

"Being able to share with these guys, the fans, [they] are an ever-present, motivating, reassuring thing," Kristen Stewart told MTV News before Thursday's "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" panel. "It's really nice, but when they're actually physically in front of you, if you can get over the blast of energy that's thrown at you, it's the most amazing shared energy thing. They're just as invested in it as I am, and to see that is mind-blowing. I love it."
Stewart's co-star Nikki Reed couldn't agree more about the warm and fuzzy feeling she shares with and for her fans. "Being here with the fans this year has been really special for me," Reed said. "The fact that they're still here four years later and that I recognize a lot of them — I can see that they've cut their hair or lost weight or they're wearing makeup — all those little things are very bizarre, but I feel like I know a lot of them, and I just can't express how grateful I am to have this, because we are at a time right now where capturing someone's attention for more than five minutes is nearly impossible."
Kellan Lutz also shares in the general fan appreciation, but also has a special place in his heart for a very specific group of his fans: "I love the Slutz for Lutz, that started here, I believe," he said with a smile. "That just always cracks me up every time someone has a shirt or screams 'Slutz for Lutz!' It puts a smile on my face."
