Cleverley Fisheries leased our first lake in 2003.
We now control a total of eight lakes made up of four syndicates, one day ticket and one new lake which is due to open in 2018 as our first ever runs type water.
The other two are stock lakes where we grow our own carp on ensuring that the future of all of our venues is in our own hands.
These fish are also for sale each year between 1st October and 30th April.
Our lakes are well managed and maintained by friendly bailiffs and our rules are all based on common sense.
It is our aim to continue to grow and add to our portfolio so we hope that Cleverley Fisheries will continue to go from strength to strength for years to come.

Jockey Seamus Durack faces a spell out after a heavy fall at Doncaster on Saturday.
He parted company from Springfield Scally in the Tote Scoop6 Handicap Hurdle and injured his right leg.
He said: "I don't think it's broken but I am going to get it checked out on Monday.
"I'll just have to play it by ear and I won't be able to do anything until I can properly walk on it." * Prospects for tomorrow's meeting at Sedgefield are 50-50 following a week of wet weather which has left the course heavy and waterlogged in places.
No inspection is planned as yet. Yesterday a course spokesman said: "The forecast is for mainly dry weather. If that is right we have a chance." * The incredible Tony McCoy rewrote the record books again, this time for the number of winners ridden in a National Hunt season, when Firetree gave him his 254th success in the Netbetsports Telebet 0800 100 1121 Handicap Hurdle at Huntingdon.
The crowd began to cheer as the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Firetree took up the running going to the second last flight and after a brief scare when Jim Jam Joey headed him on the run-in, McCoy coaxed a little more from his mount to go one and a half lengths clear.
He got a great reception on his return to the winner's enclosure and after being presented with Champagne by the course executive he said: "I just steer them.
"The boss (Martin Pipe) did not have a lot at Newbury today and I was struggling to find winners but Dave (Roberts, his agent) said there were some good rides for Jonjo at Huntingdon."

I worked out this design a few months ago but hadn't produced any new ones lately. With a craft show deadline approaching, I had to get busy. The original spatulas had a textured handle, but I decided to go with a smooth handle for these. It took extra time, but I think it's worth it. These 9 spatulas took less than 30 minutes to cut on the band saw but about 2 hours to sand using a stationary belt sander, oscillating spindle sander, random orbit sander and hand sanding. I now hate sanding a little more. The blanks measured 1.75" x 3" x 12" long. I started out taping the first cut back on to make the compound cut, but gave up on the tape to speed things up. The finish is mineral oil. The last picture is after sanding but before the finish. I was surprised by the drastic color change, especially on the walnut. Thanks for looking.

Thank you all for the compliments.
kimosawboy, I haven't set the pricing yet but based on time and material I would like it to be in the $16 range. Since I haven't tried to sell these yet, I'm not sure how that pricIng will work out. Any advice would be welcomed.

At $16 each , thats a steal…

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. $20 or more sounds better. I don't like the time + material formula but it's a starting point

Scalia, Antonin
Scalia, Antonin, 1936–, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1986–), b. Trenton, N.J. He graduated from Harvard Law School (1960) and subsequently taught law at the Univ. of Virginia (1967–71) and the Univ. of Chicago (1977–82). In 1982 President Reagan named him to the federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and four years later he was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, taking the seat vacated when William Rehnquist ascended to the position of chief justice. An outspoken conservative, Scalia is a prominent proponent of
textualism,the idea that one should focus on the text of the U.S. constitution or a law and its original meaning when seeking to interpret it, and that decisions of judges should be based on that original meaning, a position enunciated in A Matter of Interpretation (1997). Though he has been willing to overturn (often liberal) precedents and has been one of the most conservative members of the Court's right wing, Scalia has sometimes taken more libertarian positions, for example, protecting flag burning as a form of free speech.

Q & A Archive - January 2009
Colour Code: DANNY, LUKE, BEN, HARRY, CHRIS, THINNY
Q: Very sad to hear the end is nigh for Thunder, but so glad that the final album was so accomplished and you retain so many fans til the end. 3 questions ! Any inkling that BANG would be the last when you wrote it, as its seems ironic as a title choice? Will you be continuing song writing, maybe solo again? Finally, can we see YOUR selection of 'best' tracks for a 20 year anniversary album? Andrew, Cornwall
L: No, I had no idea 'Bang!' would be the last Thunder recording at the time of writing. Yes, I will continue writing songs and maybe some will be for solo recordings although I don't intend on deciding any time soon. 20 years of Thunder? Now, let me see.....
Q: Out with a Bang, eh? I'm in tears as I write this. I just cant believe it! Completely selfish of course as I'm sure you have good reason to seek pastures new. Just to say I've had such a great time listening to your music (and will continue to) and seeing you play live - just the best live band I've ever seen! You will always feature in the most frequently listened to playlist on my ipod. Your music is just the best and your creativity as Thunder will be missed. Luke, can you tell us what you plan to do next and how you'll let us know if any new music or gigs (perhaps with some of the band members) are scheduled (she asks hopefully...) - pass me a tissue please. Kathy, London
L: I will continue to make music in some shape or form as it's what I do. I'll consider the future while enjoying the remaining six months of being in Thunder. Once I know what it is specifically I intend to do I'll make sure everyone knows about it via our site or whatever extension/continuation of it remains. Basically, watch this space!
Q: Hi Luke! Such sad news-- the world looks bleak for us fans right now, but I believe every cloud has a silver lining, and we will be here when you have good news in the future! By the way, I read your Young Guitar Magazine interview, and in it you talk about the unusual time signature in 'Retribution.' You also mention that there's just one other song in which you used the 5/4 time signature. If you don't mind, will you please tell us which one it is? Don't worry, we won't tell! The suspense is killing me... And oh, I'll see you in April ;) Fumi, San Francisco
L: I think something may have been lost in translation here....I was referring to 'Living For Today' (which is in 6/4) because certain sections of 'Retribution' are also in 6/4 (it is mainly 5/4 but it changes here and there). See you in Japan!!
Q: You can imagine my astonishment when my wife and I went to a Karaoke night at our local and I found both Better Man and I Love You More Than Rock & Roll in the song pages. I promptly got up and performed the latter!!! However, it was not your original recording but a very acceptable instrumental. This was on a Sunfly system so do you guys get any royalties from my efforts!!! As a further question, do you partake in a bit of Karaoke and if so...what's you poison!!! ( I reckon there is a Tom Jones fan or 2 in you lot based on the last couple of Xmas shows!!!). Keep up the good work
lads and come to Liverpool soon!!! Mike Jackson, Merseyside
L: We do get a small royalty from Karaoke but I couldn't retire on it! I have been known to take on 'Your Song' by Elton John or 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' by Steely Dan when a little worse for wear.
Q: Hey guys, how's life treating you? I have a couple of questions. first off, I would like to know why you never made it big, I mean you are big but not world famous as you should be. and secondly may I be so bold as to ask where the inspiration came from for the song, a lover not a friend, because it's a very spiteful song. Moff, Cardiff
L: ALNAF didn't have any special inspiration apart from the weather! I remember writing it on a particularly cold, grey day so maybe my mood wasn't great. Why are we not world famous??? A million reasons but I would say the biggest are i) we never had a worldwide crossover hit single, ii) we never had the opportunity to crack the USA and reap the rewards of the knock-on effect that that would've had everywhere else.
Q: Hi Chris, I'm a little bit confused about the Illegal Eagles tour news cause they'll be on stage in England when Thunder is touring in Europe. I wonder who's gonna play the bass...in which band? Love your bass playing especially the more funky style on the Bowes & Morley records. Sven Lessmann, Oldenburg, Germany
C: Fortunately I have a guy that stands in for me when I'm not able to make it to Illegal Eagles gigs, so I'll be there in Europe with Thunder. Glad you like my playing - the style of the Bowes and Morley albums are right up my street.
Q: Hi, Can's stop listening your last album, very fascinating! Awesome indeed. Here is my 1st. question: Argentina is still a non-profitable place to include in your tour? 2nd. question. As a home brewer I tasted a lot of beers. What are your favourite style of beers? Walter, Argentina
L: I doubt whether there's enough demand for us to come down to Argentina which is a shame as I really enjoyed being there in 1992. Any cold lager (as long as it's not too strong) works for me in the beer department.
D: Argentina is a place we have never been asked to play, apart from once in 1992 when we toured there with Iron Maiden. We loved it, but have never been asked to return.. As to beer, I don't drink much of it, but when I do it's usually cold fizzy yellow lager beer.
B: I really enjoyed our tour of South America with Iron Maiden but it is a very long way away and would cost a fortune to tour again. My favourite style of beer is free beer.
Q: Hey guys, wanted to tell you that I've finally learnt all of Fade into the sun from your go mad in Japan concert. Bloody hard work. Wanted to ask if any of you guys have ever played drunk or under the influence of anything, coz I jammed with a pa when we were shitfaced and we played horribly. Congrats on great new album. Richard Lawton, Adelaide, South Australia
L: Only played drunk once and hated every minute of it!
Q: Hello, this will bring you back to a time when Tony Blair was voted in yes it was a recording of 'The thrill of it all' a vibrant time a renewal seemed inevitable. Any way my question is whose ingenious idea was it to feature a double vocal on cosmetic punk on the 'Drinks at he bar' section with the almost free styling bar atmosphere chat in synch with the lyrics this was excellent first time I have ever heard it done, very creative indeed, was it Danny who was at the bar? Colm, Northern Ireland
L: I wanted to create a bar atmosphere and outside of that, detach the lead vocal so it felt like somebody watching what was going on, almost like a narrator in a film. I think we just invited a few friends to the studio, got drunk and recorded it.
Q: Hi there and Happy New Year. I've been a bit tardy in getting around to writing this although with Christmas and all that....Anyhow I just wanted to say what an absolute pleasure it was to meet you all after the Cambridge gig. I was the guy with the little boy (Ben) and was so overjoyed that after seeing you for the best part of a quarter of a century when I finally got to meet you all you were so friendly, approachable and down to Earth. I was so tongue tied on the night that all the questions I had planned for you fell apart so I thought I'd have a go with them now. Danny: When Luke comes up with a song, do you ever suggest transposing it into a different key, up or down which maybe allows you to really belt it out or not strain the ol' voice live? Chris: have you always played Fenders? I reckon if I could play bass I'd be tempted to play a Gibson Thunderbird if only because they look so cool! Harry: (and probably others) Do you have the one drum kit and like the rest of us, when you're not playing do you just stick it in your garage or shed?!! For all or any of you: Do you generally agree with which sons to play live or argue over it? I was wondering if some things just don't seem to work live which is why you don't play them or haven't for years. I'd love to hear "The thrill of it all" or "Future Train" for instance live but I can't really remember doing so and wondered if there was a technical reason? Finally, do you expect to do a second British tour this year? A night in Shepherd's Bush in the late Autumn would be great! Adrian, North London
D: Nice to meet you too. I don't suggest, I leave the keys to Luke. He knows my voice, and 99% of the time he is spot on. Some songs work better (for me) in a lower key when we do them live, especially in an acoustic setting. However, most songs are buggers to sing, and singing them one after another 5 nights a week is tough on my mind, body and soul. We have hardly ever argued about anything. Luke chooses the setlists, and we occasionally pitch in with ideas and suggestions.
Q: Having read in the wit, wisdom, and whiskey section that you are a fan of Stan and Ollie and I was wondering if you have ever read any of the many biographies about them, I recently read one by Simon Louvish called Stan and Ollie: the roots of comedy. It was very interesting to see the real men and how Stan was the driving force behind their work, I particularly liked the fact that on certain films where Stan had production control he insisted that they filmed in Canada (costs allowing) because Canada didn't have prohibition, my kind of guy. Lee, Belfast
L: I haven't read anything on them but I did see an excellent made for TV drama called 'Stan' a couple of years ago which was very revealing as to the nature of their partnership and Stan's ability as a deal maker.
Q: Sooo!!, the question is to anyone who can help me. I was woken up by my alarm at 5.00am the other morning to Thunder singing a song I recognised but couldn't place. Song was "I'm a Lucky Man" and doesn't appear on any of my vinyl, CD's DVD's or even old video's but since purchased the "Six Shooter" EP which has it on. Where have I heard this song before? Have I heard it played live at one of the many concerts I've been to? Please help!! It's driving me crazy!! Catherine, Bradford
T: I'm A Lucky Man was a stand alone download only single a few years back and Planet Rock do like to play the track a fair bit, so you may have heard it on there. Failing that I've no idea where you might have come across it...it's certainly never been played live.
Q: Did you support 'Heart' at Wembley arena and if so when? Sue, Hampshire
T: Yup. on May 10th, 11th and 13th 1990. Full details here!
Q: Hi, great new album! Congratulations!! Here's my question to all of you (except Harry): any of you had the problem of losing your hair? How did you face it? Walter, Argentina
B: No, I always know where I put my hair.
L: Ha ha ha ........I still have most of mine although it's not as luxuriant as it once was. If I did start losing it I think I'd keep my hair very short.
D: I lost a few hairs the other day when I pulled my hat off quite quickly, but apart from that I don't think I've got any bald spots. Then again, I can't see it all over, so I guess I'll have to rely on someone telling me if it happens. I wouldn't try to save it if it started going, wigs, weaves etc would not do for me, I can't stand all the mucking about and worrying that people know must be terrible. I think I'd just shave it all off and wear more hats in the winter..
Q: Driving home from work the other night I followed a car for quite a distance that had "RJT" as the last 3 letters on its numberplate. This got me to thinking about personalised numberplates, I have one myself and was wondering if any of you guys have one too or, indeed, what you think about the whole personalised numberplate thing? If any of you do have one, is it really personal or band-related? Andy Lacey, Trowbridge, Wiltshire
B: Got to be the biggest waste of money I can think of, every number plate is unique the rest is just vanity
D: I have one, though it is not related to anything, band or otherwise. It was my wife's, and when I replaced her car a few years back, rather than simply sell it with the car, she asked me to retain it. When the retention period expired I transferred it to my car rather than extend or lose it. I think that's what I did at least, I'm a bit hazy on the subject. You can tell it's not of major interest to me can't you?. To be honest I can't even remember why she got it in the first place, but I do know it's not special and definitely not worth anything.
Q: Are your DVDs "Scenes of the behind" and "Thunder go mad in Japan" going to be available at the merchandise spot during the european tour? I don't have a credit card so I can't buy them online. Bang! is absolutely brilliant by the way. Looking forward to seeing you in Germany again. And finally: Can You blame me if I think my English sucks? Sven, Oldenburg, Germany
D: There will be CD and DVD titles galore on sale at the February shows, along with tee shirts. Glad you like the record and your English doesn't appear to suck as far as I can tell.
Q: Ace gig at Wolverhampton! Shame I didn't get to go backstage, though I have done before so im happy! Quick question. I have seen bands like iron maiden and megadeth remastering their older material giving their music fantastic quality for its age. Backstreet Symphony is my all time favourite album, ever considered remastering it? I would set up camp outside hmv to grab my copy! I cant believe you weren't keen on Love Walked In!! Just this week i noticed it on a new greatest rock compilation!! Its amazing song :) cheers. Martin, Cheltenham
T: I'm afraid any remastering of Backstreet Symphony would be down to EMI who own the recordings. Toshiba-EMI in Japan did release a remaster a few years ago, but I certainly couldn't tell the difference. I think that compared to a lot of recordings made in the early 90s Backstreet holds up very well and isn't in need of a remaster as much, although a nice 20th anniversary set, including all the B-sides plus a bonus DVD would be a nice little package...why not write to EMI and ask them?
Q: At the recent Manchester meet and greet you gestured with your hand that you get a feeling for a song with your gut rather than your head, instead of responding like a normal person I squealed like a 16 year groopie, I'm sorry about that, but, you are so much sexier close up. I've now come back down to Earth and would like to ask if you've ever written a song you haven't had "the feeling" for but someone has persuaded you otherwise, maybe one that's become a classic?Anne, Leeds
L: Normally women think I'm sexier when I'm further away!!! To be perfectly honest I wasn't that keen on 'Love Walked In' when I'd written it. Andy Taylor convinced me it was a hit song although at the time I wasn't convinced. Just goes to show how much I know!
Q: How would you feel if one of your songs was used on the X factor? Dave, Tunbridgewells
L: Slightly soiled but wealthier!!!!
Q: Hi guys, and happy christmas day to everyone!!!! This one's for Luke... I was taking a look at your personal data and I have read with joy that alongside with your good taste for guitar players, actors and footballers, you name John McEnroe as one of your idols!!!! Being a long time tennis player myself I would like to ask you which ones are your reasons for that, apart from his incredible genius...I began playing tennis in 1984 when I was seven and he ruled the tennis world and he is very inspiring to me...On the other hand, being Jimmy Page another one of your idols, I would like to know what is having your picture taken with one of you idols like...must be amazing, to say the least...Thank you very much and forgive the mistakes in my English!!!! Diego, Palencia, Spain
L: John McEnroe was very exciting to watch because he was unpredictably brilliant. I liked the fact he demanded very high standards of himself and hated losing! Jimmy Page is a very nice man and not at all 'starry' so being in his company is a pleasure. The first time we met him he came into our dressing room at Hammersmith Apollo in 1992 and we were very impressed that he liked Thunder. Benny was genuinely overawed and could barely speak!
Q: Hi -Wondered if you'd heard the new AC/DC album? & what you thought of it? Mitch Capaldi, Cheltenham
L: Only heard bits but it sounds pretty good.
D: I've heard most of it, and I think it's very typical AC/DC mk2 (with Brian). I'm sure fans love it, but it's not really been my cup of tea since Bon died. I have great respect for them and what they've done, I'm just not a fan.
Q: I have been listening recently to the Japanese version of RJT and enjoying The Girl is alright. I think it's superb. Brilliant production. After listening to Bang, with its variety of styles, how do you go about deciding what makes the album? Is it a team effort or does Luke, as songwriter, swing it? Also when it comes to recording, what mics do you use as it's a great sound? Danny, when you record, do you stand and sing or have the opportunity to do your recognised and different dancing? James Vincent, Caterham
D: We bought a load of studio mics for the recording of Bang! Most of them are Sennheiser ones and they do indeed sound fab. I tend to do a bit of mild jiggling whilst recording, rather than the full on live show DB dance. It's a bit of a different experience all round really, but the intensity has to be the same, so there has to be a degree of jiggling.
L: What constitutes the album and running order are part of my job but if the other guys feel strongly about something they'll let me know. All the mics used on 'Bang!' were made by Sennheiser apart from an AKG for vocals. Mics do influence sound but the shape and type of room you record in also makes a big difference. We all like to dance while recording obviously; doesn't everybody?
Q: Hi Danny, great show at Nottingham simply brilliant fun! my question is what happened to the "Don" tag you used to have on the first few Thunder years? Mart, Saffron Walden
D: Glad you enjoyed the Xmas show. Don was my nickname for a few years, but it was replaced by Daz around the time of the LOJD LP in 1992. This was mostly down to the influence of one Mr Andy Taylor, who referred to Harry as Hazza (after Gazza the footie player) during the recording. This name was eventually shortened to Haz, and I became Dazza and then Daz. Strangely enough several of my friends from the early 90's still call me Don even to this day. I have to be honest, I wasn't too sorry to lose the Don monica, as the "Hello Team.. Hello Don" pantomime greeting got a wee bit tiresome after a couple of hundred shows. Oh no it didn't, oh yes it did etc...
Q: Hi, I came to see you guys at Rock City on the 17th (you were ACE by the way) and you had a lush looking dude in a groovy hat and leather jacket combo supporting you on guitar. Being slightly inebriated that night (!) I can't remember his name/why he was there! Can you help me out? It'd be much appreciated thanks xxx Ali, Sheffield
T: That would be Peter Shoulder. He's been an extra guitarist at the Xmas shows for a long time now and has been a friend of the band for even longer. He used to be in a band called Winterville and is now just starting out as a solo artist. For more information on Pete please check him out at http://www.myspace.com/petershoulder

The Scorpions, who went undefeated in the county for the third straight year under third-year coach Dan Ricker, were sparked by 112-pound champion Danny Bickell, who took the first title for Oakland Mills.

text: I just went to Motif for the first time this weekend and LOVED it!! There was a male singer who was amazing. Loved that I felt like I was in a big city, but only had to drive 20 minutes to get there. My friends and I shared a bunch of stuff off the menu. The sliders and fries were to die for and the chef's special was great as well. A little hard to find, but it was well worth the search, it was a real treat. The service was great, and the drinks as well. The mango martini was out of this world. Can't wait to go back!

Witch Balls: Spooky & Beautiful Laborers' Love
I've always seen these swirly glass balls around, but had no idea of their fascinating origins. They were believed to trap witches (who couldn't resist gazing into the swirls), but even more amazing is that they were made by hard-working glassworkers on their hard-earned breaks…
From the October 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Living:
"One thing we do know for sure: The glass-houses where they were made were as hot as Hades, thanks to open furnaces that ran to 2,000 degrees (the temperature required to transform silica into glass), and were dark and dangerous to boot. Yet workers often set aside time on their breaks and at day's end to create these playful, pretty witch balls."
That is one of the most beautiful and true things I've ever read. Isn't that what we're all working for? After survival is taken care of, when we've worked enough to stay warm, dry, and fed, it's the touch of beauty and fun that can make it all feel worthwhile, make it feel like ours. Listen to this: "In Glasshouse Whimsies, published in 1984, authors Joyce and Len Blake, who interviewed several men who'd worked as glassblowers back in the day, speculate why an exhausted man would bother to do this: 'Because of his need to accent a life of hard work with a splash of artistry.'" Isn't that wonderful, and humbling?
The article on collecting witch balls is not available online, unfortunately, so here are a few facts: they've been made and hung in homes since at least the 1700s, they were often made of leftover scraps of glass at the end of the day, and they have an opening where the ball was separated from the glassblowing pipe (and where the witch would enter the ball and become trapped). Though they're known for their intricate, highly-skilled designs, plain witch balls were made as well. I actually prefer the look of these plain balls, as seen above, from The Dutch Rose's fieldtrip to a South Jersey glass auction.

Cloud Foundry is the first Open PAAS platform project created by VMWare. CloudFoundry makes the life of developer easier by eliminating the time spent installing and configuring infrastructure such as application servers and JVMs. CloudFoundry is all about choices — you have choice of frameworks (Spring + Java, Rails and Sinatara for Rails,and NodeJs) , choice of Application Services (MySQL, REDIS, MongoDB) , choice of Clouds (vSphere , vCloud, AmazonEC2) to work with. The best part of CloudFoundry is that it does not lock you to a cloud provider and does not add any limitations( we all know how difficult it is to develop in Google App Engine).
This talk will be divided into three parts :
Introducing Cloud Foundry : In the first part I will first talk about what is CloudFoundry, why it was required, how you can deploy applications into cloud using CloudFoundry.
Spring Roo Cloud Foundry Integration : Spring Roo is a RAD tool which helps you build spring managed applications very quickly and easily. Spring Roo latest version comes with inbuilt support for CloudFoundry. I will show how a application created using Roo can be deployed to cloud using CloudFoundry. Spring Roo + CloudFoudry is match made in heaven.
WaveMaker : Recent SpringSource acquisition Wavemaker can help a non technical person create spring based application in minutes without writing code. I will demo how you can create an application using WaveMaker and deploy to the cloud.

MGM in Talks to Turn 'One Red Paperclip' Into a Movie
The story of how Kyle MacDonald bartered his way from a paperclip to a house is getting the movie treatment.
The story of how one man traded a paperclip for a house, one of the Internet Age's legendary true tales, is getting the movie treatment from MGM.
In the mid-2000s, Kyle MacDonald was an unemployed Canadian who used a red paper clip to start a series of Internet trades, bartering his way to a house.

The story became a sensation, one of the heart-warming demonstrations of the power of the Internet, and landed MacDonald a book deal as well as a movie deal. His story was to have been a DreamWorks/Paramount movie with Parkes/MacDonald (no relation) producing.
The option lapsed in 2009 but now the story could get a new life.
Now MGM is in negotiations to pick up a pitch from Maria Maggenti, the writer behind the Selena Gomez movie Monte Carlo and Lionstate's put-on-hold Dirty Dancing remake.

Laurence Mark, the veteran producer whose recent credits include Julia & Julia and Dreamgirls, is attached to produce.
Maggenti is repped by Paradigm and Madhouse Entertainment.

PALMETTO – William Field, 80, of Ellenton, a Korean War veteran well known in the area for his involvement in veterans' affairs, was killed Monday morning when his pickup was hit by a semi truck at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Haben Boulevard, the Bradenton Herald-Tribune reported.
Palmetto Police Deputy Chief Scott Tyler told the Herald-Tribune that Field was making a left turn from Haben Boulevard onto southbound U.S. 41 when Donald Thomas, 41, of Tampa, the driver of a 1998 International tractor-trailer truck traveling north on U.S. 41, reportedly ran a red light and struck the front of the 1999 Toyota pick-up truck Field was driving. Field was pronounced dead at the scene.
At the time of the news report, no charges had been filed as police were taking statements from the several witnesses to the crash.
Several Florida municipalities have installed red light cameras at dangerous intersections to catch drivers who run red lights on video. Tampa officials recently reported a significant reduction in intersection accidents in the year since the cameras were put in place. Considering that there is a history of fatalities at this intersection, it may be a good place to install one of the cameras.
When a person suffers serious injuries or loses a family member in a wrongful death as a result of another driver's improper driving behavior, it is often possible to recover money as compensation for losses stemming from the accident. If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in an intersection accident or any other accident caused by another's negligent driving and have questions, Jim Dodson is available to provide you with the straightforward answers you need. Jim has been assisting accident victims in Florida for more than 25 years. Contact him for a free consultation at 941-564-9402.

HTC has colloborated with tattoo artists to create a unique prize for winners of the British urban music awards.
A vintage microphone with widespread wings have been emblazoned on the gunmetal grey back of a limited series of the HTC's flagship phone, the HTC One (M8). The phones will be awarded to MOBO finalists awards, which takes place tomorrow night at the SSE Arena in London.
The design was created by a colloboration between top British tatooists Lal Hardy and Cally-Jo. Hardy has tattooed musicians including Liam Gallagher, Dave Grohl and MOBO-nominees Rudimental in his 40-years in the industry, and is owner of the world renowned New Wave Tattoo shop. Cally-Jo is an up-and-coming talent who is in such high demand mega-star Rhianna once flew the fine arts graduate to the Caribbean to ink the henna-style tattoo on her hand.
"Musicians have long used their skin as a canvas for self-expression, so musicians and tattoo artists have always had a really close affinity with one another," said Cally-Jo. "The beauty of advances in modern tattooing means that this personal expression is no longer limited to the skin and can be extended to a smartphone, something that today is a second skin, a true extension of yourself and the connector between you, your friends and family. A person's smartphone is a portal to their life so the ability to personalise it with something they are passionate about is a really wonderful prospect."
Commenting on HTC's sponsorship of the MOBO Awards for the third running and the decision to give tattooed edition HTC One M8s to finalists, Ben Walsh, Head of Marketing for UK & Ireland, said: "Having won multiple awards for being the Best Phone of 2014, it seemed fitting to be the handset the hottest talent of the music industry get to take home with them."
To showcase the Limited Edition MOBO handsets HTC has created a tattoo-inspired green room area for winners, nominees and special guests where on the night, they can relax amongst original artworks by Hardy and Cally-Jo and put the new tattooed phone and features including BoomSound and Duo Camera to the test.
What do you think of the tattooed HTC One M8 and what would you want tattooed on your Android handset? Let us know in the comments.

Discussion in 'Transformers Movie Discussion' started by Soundwave84, May 19, 2008.
She may suck at acting but she is sooooo hot!
She should present the awards in her movie outfit while under the hood of the 74 version of Bumble Bee.
Not news...
Big whoop-ty-doo. I really wish she would just... go away. I don't like her. (Hot, yes, likeable, not at all)
MTV is owned by Viacom, who also owns Paramount. Watch Transformers or Star Trek or whatever that is made by Paramount win something from this gigantic Viacom cross-promotion posing as an awards ceremony.
I like almost every of the host this year, this will definately be fun to watch.
OMG Frontpage this, NOW!!!!
haha i know right! actually find the new girl a little bit hotter? naw who am i kidding
Or a skimpy bath towel. ream:
This is about as newsworthy as yet another bloody video review. I.E. NOT AT ALL.
FFN basically covered everything there is to say about the MTV awards. What a shock that TF won ten billion "awards" last year.
Anyway, I liked her better when she was topless.
maybe she'll do lap dance for when every time she hands out an award. ahah.
50% correct.
I'll have to go then.
Was she the spiky transformer that turned into a cell phone, or the spiky transformer that turned into the steering wheel?
he wasn't spikey
Still had like the third best performance in the film, after Shia and Cullen.
Right, she got Witwickied into the Camero.
We may need a formal definition of the verb "to Witwicky".
Separate names with a comma.

Outside Over ThereBook - 1981
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Masterpiece? Maybe. But I had to do some quick improvisation while reading it to my 3 year old. Scary stuff!
Apparently this is the book that Labyrinth is loosely based on. Think about it.
It received five stars because it's a masterpiece. It's about the Lindbergh baby. That's what Maurice was thinking, you simple so and so.
Okay, WHO gave this book five stars??? It's about an infant who is kidnapped by goblins while her older sister plays the horn. The goblins replace the baby with an imposter made of ice - that melts - and scheme to make the baby a goblin's bride. The illustrations are beautiful, but what was Maurice Sendak thinking?

I said to Claire: "Strange I heard nothing about that beforehand, no rumours at all..."
Claire: "Nor did I, and I know him! He explained to us afterwards that anybody that was interested in the protest was told to come to a meeting well prepared. Bring everything they would need for a few days in the cold. People who wanted to participate in the protest were warned that there was a strong possibility of arrest. After the meeting, anybody that didn't want to take part in the protest was not allowed home and was taken to a flat and kept in hiding. This way there would be no leaks."

We're In The Goldilocks zone
Astronomers say they have for the first time spotted a planet beyond our own in what is called the Goldilocks zone for life: Not too hot, not too cold. Just right.
"This is the first one I'm truly excited about," said Penn State University's Jim Kasting. He said this planet is a "pretty prime candidate" for harboring life.
But there are still many unanswered questions about this strange planet. It's so close to its version of the sun that it orbits every 37 days. And it doesn't rotate much, so one side is almost always bright, the other dark.
Temperatures can be as hot as 160 degrees or as frigid as 25 degrees below zero, but in between — in the land of constant sunrise — it would be "shirt-sleeve weather".
Co-discoverer Steven Vogt, of the University of California at Santa Cruz, believes "that chances for life on this planet are 100 percent."
The star, Gliese 581, can't be seen without a telescope from Earth, Vogt said. But if you were standing on this new planet, you could easily see our sun.
The low-energy dwarf star will live on for billions of years, much longer than our sun, he said. And that just increases the likelihood of life developing on the planet, the discoverers said.
"It's pretty hard to stop life once you give it the right conditions," Vogt said.

screw, simple machine consisting essentially of a solid cylinder, usually of metal, around which an inclined plane winds spirally, either clockwise or counterclockwise. It is used to fasten one object to another, to lift a heavy object, or to move an object by a precise amount. The ridge forming the inclined plane is called the thread in cross section the ridge may be approximately triangular, square, or rounded. The vertical distance from any point on one thread to a corresponding point on the next successive thread is called the pitch. A thread can also be placed on the inner surface of a hollow cylinder. Two screws of the same pitch and diameter, one on the outer surface of a solid cylinder and the other on the inner surface of a hollow cylinder, can be arranged so that one may be driven spirally into the other, as in the common nut and bolt. The thread on the surface of the bolt is called the external, or male, screw that on the inner surface of the nut, the internal, or female, screw. The common jackscrew used to lift automobiles, houses, and other heavy objects is an application of this principle. The internal screw is situated in the base, the external screw on a metal cylinder at the top of the cylinder a lever or handle is fastened. As the handle is rotated, the external screw moves up the internal screw and the object placed on top of the jack is lifted. The mechanical advantage of the jackscrew, as of any other screw, is theoretically the ratio between the circumference through which the end of the handle moves and the pitch of the screw. Since, however, there is much friction in the operation of a screw, the amount of work put into this machine is much greater than the amount done and the efficiency is small. On the other hand, the small effort necessary to turn the handle, when compared to the enormous load raised, makes such a device of great value. The screw is often used for making delicate adjustments of tools and machines, e.g., in the micrometer screw and in the carburetor of the gasoline engine (for regulating the flow of gasoline). The self-tapping screw has notches in the first few threads that can cut female threads in a hollow cylinder. Wood and metal screws, the carpenter's and machinist's vise, the propeller of a boat or airplane, Archimedes' screw, and many other devices are applications of the screw.

Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" has been out for weeks now, and it was about time that we got to know what is really changed in this version of Android. Android team recently launched the full details of the changes that users of "Nexus 7" can enjoy, as it is the only device (for now), that is running on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The developers of Android say the following about Android 4.1.
- "Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
- Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
- Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life. "
List of Key Changes in Detail
1: Accessibility
- Gesture Mode for blind users that allows blind users to reliably navigate the UI using swipe gestures and touch, in combination with speech output.
- Accessibility focus feature allows users to move a cursor between controls in order to maintain a target for the next source or action. Double tap anywhere to launch items with this feature.
2: Android Beam
Android Beam is a feature that allows users to share their pictures and videos easily. It also enables users to enjoy a Simple Secure Pairing standard that pairs devices just by tapping them together. With it, you can easily pair your handset or tablet to Bluetooth devices such as speakers or headsets. However, other devices must also have SSP feature.
3: Camera and Gallery
- View gallery without having to leave the camera app by using swipe from the camera viewfinder.
- You can also undo delete with a single tap.
- A new animation gives you visual feedback when focusing on an object in camera.
4: Data Usage
- Dismiss a data usage warning, without having to change the data threshold, which is set for warning notifications.
- You can stop background data usage on certain Wifi SSIDs by designating them as hotspots of your mobile.
- Jelly Bean now automatically detects when one device is tethered to another's Wifi Hotspot. This feature intelligently disables or enables background data usage on the SSID.
5: Face Unlock
Face unlock is now not just faster, but more accurate as well. The start up of this feature has been made smoother with a new animation. Moreover, you can increase the accuracy of face unlock by calibrating your face in different conditions as well as with different accessories such as glasses, hat, etc.
Internationalization, keyboard, messaging and talk, notifications, networking, news and weather, people, phone, settings, system, voice typing, widgets, and text-to-speech are some other areas where changes have been made and you can enjoy all of it on the Nexus 7 tablet or wait for another device to feature Jelly Bean.
