Singapore GP - Sunday - Team Quotes
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st): "I am very, very pleased with the result today, the car was fantastic all the way through. When we needed to push, we could pull away quite easily, which helped us. When the safety car came out, it didn't really fit to our plan as we had a gap of about thirty seconds with thirty laps to go, but nevertheless I had a very good restart. I was a bit lucky that there were some back markers between me and Jenson and I was able to get back into the rhythm straight away. I pulled out a gap and I was quite happy. All in all it is a fantastic result. I really love this track and I love the challenge here - it's one of the longest races of the season, but the car was fantastic and engine-wise everything was great. Renault again did a very good job, so we were in a comfortable position for most of the race, which is pretty handy around here because it's quite a challenge to put all the sectors together, not only in qualifying, but also in the race. I'm very pleased and for the Championship it looks like we have another chance at the next race."
Mark Webber (3rd): "Unfortunately I've found myself having to come back through the field too often this season. I can't make the starts I made last year at the moment. I need to work on those; we'll look at them and definitely improve. I have to keep working harder because it's quite frustrating and it's quite risky to have to come back through and try to regain positions on the track, particularly when the DRS isn't working. In the end I probably lost a position today out of that, JB put a good last stint together so it would have been good battle with him, even if he did have track position. Seb deserved the victory today and overall, if you come here and you get a podium, it's not too bad. Of course you'd love a win, that's what we all strive for, but this is a very challenging venue. The guys have done a great job all weekend, for me in particular - as it's not the easiest track for me here. I want to thank all the guys - they've done a great job for me all weekend and Renault also - we have had 100% reliability, so a great job."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "It was a big performance today to win the Singapore GP. It's one of the stand-out venues of the calendar with a really unique atmosphere and it's probably the toughest and most demanding race for the car and the drivers physically, due to the hot and humid conditions. Sebastian was faultless today; he was truly dominant in the first half and in managing the race to the end; not taking any risks to record his ninth win of the season. Starting from the left-hand side of the grid, the dirty side, Mark lost out as others did on the run to the first corner, but thereafter he had a really good race with Fernando and we seemed to be lighter on the tyres than the Ferrari today. He managed to pass Fernando twice and then our strategy worked to the end of the race. On top of that I think we also had the fastest pit stop of the day, so a truly great team performance that puts Sebastian within one point of achieving his second World Championship. However, that said, it doesn't change our approach as we head to Japan."
Cyril Dumont, Renault: "Today it was simply a fantastic race with good driving from Sebastian. He was able to be quicker by almost a second to all his opponents. He pulled out a big gap and was incredible today. Looking to Mark, unfortunately the start was not that good, but he was able to overtake Fernando twice, so I think it was a solid driving from him. All in all it's a wonderful result for the team and I think it starts tasting good."
Jenson Button (2nd): "I was being told throughout the race to look after the car and the tyres; the only time I was really able to push was in the last 12 laps, when I chased down Seb [Vettel] on the Supersoft tyre. I gave it everything - but, in the end, we didn't quite have the pace to make up the gap. Still, I think we had the best possible strategy for both Saturday and Sunday, and I couldn't realistically have asked for a better result this weekend. In fact, we didn't make any mistakes this weekend and, as a team, I think we did the best possible job with the equipment we had. We need to improve a few things in our package, but I think Suzuka should suit us a little better [than Marina Bay]. I've had a run of podium finishes recently, so I'd really love to finish one step higher at the next race!"
Lewis Hamilton (5th): "Congratulations to Seb on a great drive - he drove fantastically all weekend. And well done to Jenson, too - he showed what was possible from our package by really getting the maximum out of it. He nearly brought home the victory too - so I'm encouraged that we can continue to challenge for wins for the rest of the season. I had fun picking off cars after my penalty, but it was frustrating to once again be down the field when I felt we had a car that could have challenged up at the front. For me, this weekend was a bit of a missed opportunity. As always, though, I'll put it behind me - I'm already looking forward to Suzuka!"
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Jenson drove a truly fabulous race yet again - and bagged 18 valuable world championship points as a result. He controlled his pace faultlessly, looked after his tyres brilliantly, and then attacked the Marina Bay circuit with total commitment at the end when aggression rather than circumspection was called for. But for a bit of bad luck in the form of a few backmarkers whom he encountered at precisely the inopportune moment, he could well have snatched a truly sensational victory. He's now a clear second in the drivers' world championship too. Lewis had a more frustrating day, but drove with great determination to finish fifth at the chequered flag, pulling off some fantastic passing manoeuvres in so doing. All in all, he had to make five visits to the pitlane - so, as I say, bearing that in mind, fifth place was a seriously impressive achievement. Next, though, we go to Suzuka, which is one of the great circuits on the Formula 1 calendar from a driver's point of view. Both Lewis and Jenson will be aiming for ultimate honours there - as indeed they will in all the remaining races of the 2011 season."
Fernando Alonso (4th): "Unfortunately, today it was impossible to finish on the podium. We were not fast enough and, even if we were third for some parts of the race, we knew that sooner or later we would be overtaken. Sure, if you nail the start and something unusual happens and you do everything perfectly and then some, the podium might come your way, but at the moment, the reality is that our car is third best in terms of performance. Then, as happened today, if the Safety Car wipes out the few seconds advantage we had put together over Webber and the backmarkers, who were maybe a bit distracted, create unexpected problems, then everything becomes more difficult. At the start, on the Supersofts, we had very high degradation, while on the Softs the situation got back to more or less normal compared to Red Bull and McLaren. We fought all weekend long and I'm pleased with the way the team worked, because they always did their very best and we got the most we could have done out of this race. We have five difficult races ahead of us, but our motivation does not change: at some point maybe we will be able to attack, while there will be other times when we have to defend, but either way, we will always do our best."
Felipe Massa (9th): "There's no point in me hiding the disappointment and anger I feel at the end of a race that could have delivered a very different result. The damage following contact with Hamilton penalised me a lot because I lost so much time in the early stages when the traffic was still very heavy. After the race, I tried to talk to him to clear the air but he walked away without even answering: so I told him what I thought when we found ourselves in the interview area. On top of that, the Safety Car added to my troubles: I had changed tyres a few laps earlier and had fitted the Supersofts which definitely would not have got me to the end of the race, while other drivers were able to make the most of the race being neutralised to make their stop without losing too much time. In the end, first of all, I lost some time behind Barrichello and then I had to let Vettel by, which meant I was a lap down on him and had lost any chance of finishing seventh, given that Sutil and Rosberg in front of me were struggling with their tyres. I would really like to have a trouble free race at some point, something that I have not experienced recently, if you look at Monza for example. Today, a top six finish was definitely within reach."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "The result itself is not a surprise, but the performance definitely was, and in a bad way. We were slower than we expected and we must carefully analyse the reasons why things turned out this way. It will be a useful exercise for the coming races and also when looking to the future. Fernando did his best, staying in the hunt for a podium finish right to the end and he is still definitely in the running for second place in the Drivers' Championship. Felipe could also have been up there with him, but his race was ruined by the puncture caused by Hamilton: our Brazilian is definitely having an unlucky time of it at the moment and yet again, as in Monza, he had to fight his way back up the order through no fault of his own. Now we must roll up our sleeves and maintain our motivation for the remaining races of this season, in which our aim has to remain the same, namely to try and win some races. At the same time, we must learn as much as possible about the behaviour of this car, to apply the lessons to the one that is currently at the design stage."
Pat Fry: "We have to be honest and accept that this result reflects the relative strengths of the teams at the moment. Our car is third best and to finish fourth is more or less what we might have expected. We cannot say the same as regards our performance level, which did not match our expectations. Tyre degradation, especially with the Supersoft, was very high and we must try and understand why. In terms of strategy, I think we took the right decisions: the Safety Car certainly did not help, because both Felipe and Fernando had made their stop a few laps earlier and so they could not exploit that advantage compared to their closest competitors. In the end, we left Fernando on the Softs, because it was the best choice to cover Hamilton, the only one who could have taken the position off us. Unfortunately, by this time, the podium was already out of reach. To those who ask what will motivate us as we tackle the remaining races, I would say that we have a lot of work to do, both to try and improve the performance level of this car and to get pointers for next year. We have some new parts in Japan and Korea which will be useful on both these fronts. We are Ferrari and we won't let ourselves be discouraged by a poor showing."
Mercedes GP
Nico Rosberg (7th): "The optimum today would have been sixth place but it didn't quite work out for us this weekend. I was struggling with the rear end in the race, and our car just really didn't suit this demanding track. I had more problems with tyre degradation than the cars around me, which combined with having to switch our strategy when the safety car came out, meant it was impossible to make any progress. Whilst we might not be happy with the outcome of our weekend here in Singapore, we will now work hard to improve the car for the next races here in Asia."
Michael Schumacher (DNF, Accident): "It was a very unfortunate ending to my race in Singapore tonight and obviously I am a bit disappointed. What happened was what I would call a misunderstanding between Sergio Perez and myself. He was about to go inside and lifted, and I was not expecting him to do that so early, and therefore hit him. It's probably one of those race incidents which look more impressive from outside than from inside, as I am totally ok and my impact in the end was not too heavy. It was a pity because my car and the tyres worked well, and therefore the pace was very good. I will look ahead to the next races and hope to have better endings there."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "It turned out to be a fairly tough race for us this evening. As expected, we didn't have the pace to match the leaders but we were quite comfortable in the gap behind the top six cars. Unfortunately Michael's accident hurt us both from his own point of view and that it brought out the safety car at the wrong time for our strategy. Nico then did a very good job to make the set of tyres that he had last for over half of the race. Seventh place was about as much as we could have expected today, and whilst it feels disappointing, we will keep working hard and pushing forward."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "The race developed quite well for us until Michael's incident with Sergio Perez which brought out the safety car. We had no choice but to pit Nico and put him on the prime tyres, on which he then did 31 laps, more than half the race distance. Nico did a very good job to keep the tyres together for such a long stint. Michael's speed before the accident looked good, considering our current technical package, so it is a shame for him as he could perhaps have finished in front of Nico. Without the safety car, and with an ideal strategy for Nico, he could have been in a position to finish one place higher. Thank you to the organisers here in Singapore for hosting this race, which is one of the most spectacular events in the calendar, and produces the best television images over the course of the season."
Bruno Senna (15th): "It was a tough race. My first lap was very good, but we then suffered from some very high tyre degradation. I was pushing hard to complete good lap times but we had to adjust the brake balance a lot to try and compensate for the rear tyre wear. When we put the soft tyres on they didn't have quite the same bite as the super softs. Then, when I came into the hairpin which is the slowest corner of the track, my wheels locked up and I hit the wall. This made my race very, very complicated firstly because of the time lost there and secondly because of the extra pit stop. It could have been a much better race for us, but we did what we could and we will now start to think about Japan, where hopefully we can bring out more of the potential of the R31."
Vitaly Petrov (17th): "Today we had a race to forget. First of all I had some problems with KERS shortly after the start, which cost me a few tenths each lap and made it difficult to overtake. Then, the tyres started to behave poorly; when cars started overlapping me, I had to slow down a little and the tyre pressure went down. We have to pull together and look at why the car isn't performing at circuits such as this. We haven't performed at our usual level today, but the final five venues are all places where the R31 should perform better."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "Coming to Singapore, we knew that we were in for a tough weekend. The R31 was never suited to street circuits and there were very few reasons to hope this might change here. However, we never expected our performance to be so embarrassing. Seeing our cars so low in the classification today, clearly struggling for grip among blue flags, was a painful experience. In these conditions, it is difficult to draw any positive from the race apart from the flawless job made by the organisers of the Grand Prix, who have definitely produced one of the best venues on the calendar. We will all forget this race quickly and turn our focus to Suzuka, where the track's quick corners should make us smile again. Finally, I would like to wish Steve Nielsen, our Sporting Director, all the best for the future. Steve has been with the team for more than 10 years and today was his last race with us."
James Allison, Technical Director: "Today's race was 61 laps of misery to cap off a weekend of disappointment. We did not start today with high hopes; poor pace and high tyre degradation during the race simulation runs on Friday are not good weapons to take into the race and our cars suffered accordingly. Bruno nudged the wall after his first tyre stop which left him in last place after stopping to replace the damaged wing. Thereafter he showed good fighting spirit to get back to 15th place. Although it has been highly reliable in races hitherto, Vitaly was additionally hampered by loss of his KERS early on which made it very tough for him to overtake."
Riccardo Penteado, Engine Support Leader: "The weekend didn't go as well as we hoped. It was difficult to find the right engine maps for this track but at the end we were happy with the driveability. Nevertheless, it was always going to be hard to do anything from our qualifying positions. Let's look forward to Japan. We've performed well on this type of track this season so we'll focus on getting back to form there."
Pastor Maldonado (11th): "The car had quite a lot of oversteer throughout the race, particularly in the first stint. We tried everything to get rid of it to save the rear tyres but the wear rate forced us to pit early. It didn't make that much of a difference to our strategy though and it actually worked out well in the end. I managed to get into a good rhythm, especially in the second half when I was able to follow Massa quite consistently. I think the team did well and I'm pleased too because it's my first time racing in Singapore."
Rubens Barrichello (13th): "We said at the beginning that the tyres would have a hard time. With the safety car deployed when it was, the only option was to stay out to have a chance of scoring points. It was a tough call to do that many laps on the same tyre - and when Massa came up behind me there was nothing I could do. We gave it a go, but it didn't pay off for us today."
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "We tried a couple of different things on strategy between the two cars but today we didn't have enough pace to get into the points. Both the drivers probably got the best out of the car they could. It was a tough race but both FW33s came home with no reliability issues. As that was my last Grand Prix for AT&T Williams, I would like to thank everyone on the race team and at the factory for the last 11 years and to wish them all the best for a bright future."
Force India-Mercedes
Paul di Resta (6th): "My first Singapore Grand Prix was a lot of fun and I'm very happy with the outcome. I don't think the safety car really helped us because I still had a lot of life left in the supersoft tyres in the middle of the race, but it didn't really hurt us either. After that it was a case of managing my pace to Rosberg, looking after the tyres and bringing the car home. I was in free air for the final part of the race, which helped, and the pace was strong. It's probably my best race of the season, but it's the result of all the hard work behind the scenes. We came here with an upgrade package that has allowed us to gain performance in the race, gain tyre life, and we saw the benefits of that today."
Adrian Sutil (8th): "We have been aiming to get both cars in the points for a while now, so we can be very happy with where we finished. The points we scored give us some breathing space over Sauber in the championship. It was quite a normal race for me, although I lost some track position under the safety car as Rosberg got ahead of me and stayed there until the end of the race. The final stint was quite difficult because I had to do about 30 laps on the soft tyres. I had Perez close behind me and then Massa was closing in fast on the final lap. Fortunately I had enough to hold on to eighth."
Dr. Vijay Mallya, Team Principal: "I have to say I am delighted with today's result. We knew we had the performance in the car to get both drivers in the points, but to come away with 12 points is extremely satisfying. It strengthens our sixth place in the championship and moves us closer to fifth place. One of the key moments of the race was the safety car period, when we chose to pit both cars at the same time. The pit crew did an excellent job of stacking the cars and that played a critical role in where we ultimately finished. Both Paul and Adrian have performed brilliantly all weekend and haven't put a foot wrong. With five races remaining we now need to build on this momentum so that we continue our strong finish to the season."
Sergio Perez (10th): "I think tenth was the best we could manage today. I was on a two stop strategy, starting on the supersoft tyres and changing after 15 laps to the soft compound. For my second stop I had to pit earlier because I had a puncture after the accident with Michael (Schumacher), and then I had to do a very long last stint - actually just a bit over half the race distance - with the second set of soft tyres. I think Michael was too optimistic with what he tried. It is a shame to have lost a place to Felipe (Massa) in the end, but the tyres were finished and I couldn't defend anymore. We will keep fighting to get back sixth place in the Championship."
Kamui Kobayashi (14th): "This was a very difficult weekend for me. Our pace all weekend was actually okay, but in the race, due to traffic and a mistake with the strategy when the Safety Car was on the track, it didn't work out. I was very surprised when I got the drive through penalty, because I didn't see any blue flags."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "I can't pretend to be that happy with one point, as I think we were expecting a little better than what we achieved today. Unfortunately the Safety Car didn't come at the right moment for us. Under the circumstances I think what Sergio did was the best we could achieve here. I have to be honest and say we should have left Kamui out during the Safety Car period, but still I don't think he could have scored points today. Performance wise I think we are better than we looked, but we just didn't get through the traffic when it was there."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Sebastien Buemi (12th): "I think twelfth was pretty much the maximum I could have hoped for today. If one analyses the weekend overall, I would say we did not have enough downforce, reflected in the fact we had a very good top speed down the straights, but were not fast enough through the corners. But of course, it is always easy to say these things and be wise in hindsight. Degradation was quite high and we opted for three tyre stops. I expect that, with the car we have, we should be much more competitive at a track like Suzuka, so I am looking forward to going to Japan for the next round. Before that, we must analyse the data from this race very carefully, to see how we can improve for future races at this type of track."
Jaime Alguersuari (21st): "We already knew on Saturday what sort of race we would have today and although ready to do my best, I was not expecting much from this evening. I had a lot of oversteer after the first few laps onwards. With a couple of laps to go I crashed into the barriers and that was my race over. Looking at my performance and that of my team-mate, who was on a different strategy to me - I was on a two stop - I don't think points would have been on the agenda for us this weekend. As for the drive-through, I am not really sure why I got it, as I only made very light contact with Trulli."
Franz Tost, Team Principal: "This was not our weekend, as we were behind right from the start, after experiencing difficulties in Friday free practice. Qualifying was therefore difficult and, starting 14th and 16th, having got both cars through to Q2, clearly we were going to have a tough race on a street circuit. This evening, we did the best we could, even though we were simply not quick enough. Sebastien got the most out of the package we gave him for today. As for Jaime, I still do not understand why he was given a drive-through penalty, which completely compromised his race and ruined the strategy we had planned for him. We must now look to improve on this front before tackling a very different type of circuit, as we head to the next race at Suzuka in Japan."
Heikki Kovalainen (16th): "I'm really pleased with the performance today and we should all be happy as it was a great race from the whole team. The pitstop strategy worked out well for us and the boys worked brilliantly to get me out quickly each time, helping me make sure I could stay ahead of Petrov at each stop. The car felt balanced throughout the whole race and the tyres worked well so I was able to pull away from Petrov and ended up finishing strongly in 16th. It's also good that the upgrade we've brought here has helped us take a small step forward and I think we'll see more from that in Suzuka where it will come more into its own. After a race like today I can't wait to get back in the car, so we leave Singapore feeling pretty good about the last few races of the season."
Jarno Trulli (DNF, Gearbox): "I had another really good start and was ahead of both Renaults and the Toro Rosso. They were pushing me but the car felt great and I was able to keep ahead of them pretty comfortably, coming out of the first stop still ahead and feeling good on the second set of tyres. Then Jaime hit my left rear and I had to come which was pretty disappointing - it's just bad luck really, but that meant I had to try and fight back which I did my best to do until the gearbox problem meant I had to pull over. I'm pleased for the team that we were able to fight from the start and I think it's a good sign that we could do so well in the race, but now we move on to Japan and I hope we can keep pushing on there."
Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "For me that is probably the best race we have had in our short life in Formula One so far. Heikki drove an outstanding race and was able to keep pace with a lot of the cars around him, and pull away from the cars behind, and he made the most of the new package we brought here to finish very well. Jarno again suffered from bad luck and maybe the strategy we gave him was not the best, but we called it as we saw it and I am sure we will learn from how his race worked out. I am delighted for everyone back at the factory to see their hard work on the upgrade work out well on track, and I think we can look forward to a strong end to the season, knowing we can fight with established teams around us when the opportunities arise."
Mike Gascoyne, Technical Director: "Mixed reactions from me because that was possibly our strongest race performance, particularly early on, but it obviously did not end for Jarno as we would have wanted. Jarno drove a very good first stint and by switching the strategy and stopping Heikki early we were able to control the cars behind us that we were racing at that point. When we pitted Jarno we got him back out in front of the cars he was racing but unfortunately Alguersuari hit him, causing a left rear puncture and ruining his race. He kept pushing when we got him back out but finally he had to stop with a gearbox problem. Heikki drove a very strong race and it was good to beat one of the Renaults on pace today, both on track and in the pitstops. It is a shame we could not get both cars to the finish, but this was still a very good performance from the whole team."
Thierry Salvi, Renault: "I think we can be pleased with how we Heikki finished but again the luck was not with Jarno. Another good start put him in a very good position early on and even after his first pitstop he was still in good shape. After that the puncture meant he had to give up the positions he had won at the start which is obviously very bad luck but it was fortunate that Heikki was able to push throughout the whole race and finish in front of the Renault. I think that is a good car and it shows that our car is getting better and better. Engine wise it was all ok for us. We managed the temperatures the pressures well and had no issues on either car so I think we can be pretty happy with how it ended."
Daniel Ricciardo (19th): "Unfortunately my race wasn't too exciting because I got my nose clipped on the first lap. It was all a bit bunched into turn 8 and I didn't have a clear line so I just wanted to keep that line for the next corner and had a touch. It was my mistake for going in a bit too deep and it was a costly one because then I encountered quite a few blue flags which upset my rhythm. But the middle stint wasn't too bad, we got a bit of a rhythm going but towards the end of the race we got more blue flags and tried to go quite long on the tyres, which was pretty difficult to manage. But we made it and it's good to get to the finish line though in the toughest race of the season. Now I need to keep on working and move forward."
Vitantonio Liuzzi (20th): "Today's race has been quite tough; not only because the car was difficult to drive in such conditions but also because we have been a little unlucky. The first half of the race has been good and then, in the last quarter, we were forced to change to our last set of tyres because the rear was going and had to put on the tyres that we used in qualifying. Immediately I felt that the car had a lot less grip, to the point where I locked the front on turn 14 without doing anything different and I touched the wall, which caused the wing to break. So I was forced to pit again. After the wall incident the car was difficult to drive with quite a lot of understeer so we just tried to reach the checkered flag from there. So it was tough out there but with the positive of having reached the end."
Colin Kolles, Team Principal: "We knew it was going to be a tough race and it has been, but we achieved the main objective of the team that was crossing the finish line with both cars. We had different strategies for each one of the drivers and we knew that the chances of a safety car were high therefore we had alternatives to adapt our strategy quickly. The planning was good but it had to come into place earlier than expected when Daniel had to pit to replace his front wing. Both Tonio and Daniel did a good job on the track because they adapted to the circumstances and kept focused. They managed to keep a fairly good rhythm despite the blue flags and pushed each other to the end. This one is over and now we are hoping for a better race in Japan in two weeks."
Jerome d'Ambrosio (18th): "I'm quite happy with my race today. I had a good start and pushed hard on the first two laps and then tried to save the tyres as we were following a two-stop strategy - that was pretty good. The last stint was long and not easy to manage. I could push, but I had to have in mind that I had to look after the tyres until the end of the race. It has been quite a good race. I'm satisfied and we need to continue like this. It's certainly the toughest race I have done, but I managed to go to the end without many problems, so it was good."
Timo Glock (DNF, Accident): "It's a disappointing end to the weekend for the team and for me. I had quite a good start but I lost my positioning with Jerome because I was on the outside. Then, unfortunately, in the second sector Ricciardo drove into the rear right of the car and from that moment my steering wheel was not straight, it was quite a lot to the right, and in all the left-hand corners the car was really difficult to drive. I had a lot of degradation on the rear right tyre and then suddenly I lost the rear under braking and when I hit the wall I think it broke the rear suspension and that was it. It's a real shame for the team that has been working hard all over the weekend, but this is racing and now we just have to look forward to the next race in Japan."
John Booth, Team Principal: "Jerome drove possibly his best race of the year today. We were really pleased to see him battling with cars that are usually several seconds in front of us on pace. Enabling him to do this was a well thought-out strategy by the engineers which was executed faultlessly by the pit crew, with last minute calls and Safety Cars thrown in the mix. I'm sure he'll take a big lift from this race and look forward to the final races of the season. Unfortunately, Timo's race was over on the first lap with the impact from Ricciardo. It's a great shame we didn't get the chance to see him in action at his favourite track. It's certainly been a very hot and humid weekend for all of the guys in the garage, however they have done a fantastic job to keep to our normal high standards of operation."

OCEAN CITY – An Ocean City man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a resort police officer last weekend during an altercation at an uptown residence.
Around 7:15 p.m. last Sunday, an Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) officer was dispatched to a residence on 142nd Street to assist with an EMS call for a female who had possibly had a stroke. Emergency Services staffers evaluated the woman in question, but she refused medical assistance. While on scene, the OCPD officer encountered a man in the residence described as very intoxicated who was uncooperative and subject to mood swings, according to police reports.
While OCPD officers were evaluating the situation to determine if it was safe for the female victim, the intoxicated male, identified as Ronald Cantrell, 51, of Ocean City, continued to complicate the incident. The officers asked Cantrell to go outside with them and he refused. An officer than noticed a folding pocket knife clipped to Cantrell's front pants pocket and took it from him for safety reasons. The officer attempted to explain to Cantrell he would give the knife back when they left, but that made him angry.
Cantrell then tried to walk into the room where another officer was talking with the female victim, but when the officer attempted to stop him, Cantrell allegedly shoved the officer aside. The officer then grabbed Cantrell from behind by the shirt and told him to go back and sit down. According to police reports, Cantrell then came toward the officer with both hands in front of him and shoved him in the chest.
According to police reports, Cantrell's hands slipped down and he grabbed the officer behind his left knee. When the officer tried to resist, Cantrell allegedly lifted the officers leg and shoved him backwards, forcing the officer to hop on one foot to avoid falling until Cantrell had pushed him back about 10 feet into a kitchen counter. The officer struck Cantrell with a palm slap to the side of his face, but the strike was ineffective, according to police reports.
When the officer ordered Cantrell to let go of his leg, he refused, forcing the officer to strike him three more times in the face with straight punches, according to police reports. Cantrell allegedly refused to let go of the officer's leg, forcing another officer to administer several knee strikes to the suspect's side. He eventually let go and was arrested and charged with second-degree assault on an officer and resisting arrest.
Pound Of Pot Seized
OCEAN CITY – An Ocean City man and a juvenile were arrested on marijuana possession charges last weekend at the conclusion of an undercover drug distribution investigation.
Last Saturday, the OCPD narcotics unit concluded a one-year undercover investigation involving employees of Coins Pub with the acquisition of a search and seizure warrant for the establishment. Just prior to serving the warrant, OCPD officers observed a juvenile employee leave the establishment in a vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, during which a half a pound of marijuana was recovered. The juvenile was arrested at that time.
At approximately 8 p.m., uniformed OCPD patrol officers along with some undercover narcotics detectives served a search and seizure warrant on the restaurant. During the search, several items of drug paraphernalia and a small amount of marijuana were located and recovered in the kitchen area in plain view. As a result, a second employee identified as Paul Kirk Garrett, 41, of Ocean City, was also arrested.
Later that evening, OCPD narcotics detectives, working in conjunction with members of the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team, went to the juvenile suspect's West Ocean City residence and recovered roughly a half-pound of marijuana. In all, roughly one pound of marijuana was seized along with associated paraphernalia and currency. The juvenile's vehicle was also seized.
Garrett was charged with possession of marijuana and was released on his own recognizance. The juvenile was charged with two counts of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of paraphernalia and was released to the custody of a legal guardian. The restaurant's management reportedly terminated those involved in the case following the incident.
Car Wash Burglars Sought
OCEAN CITY – The Ocean City Police Department this week is seeking the public's help in identifying two suspects from a burglary at a mid-town car wash earlier this month.
On Feb. 2, OCPD officers responded to the Oasis Car Wash in reference to a reported theft. The investigation revealed the suspects had broken into one of the automatic car wash kiosk's change machine and had taken an undisclosed amount of money from the machine. Detectives recovered evidence at the scene as well as video surveillance images of two individuals police believe may have information about the theft.
One suspect is described as a white male with facial hair who was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and a tan or green jacket at the time of the incident. The other suspect is described as a white male with short hair wearing a green army jacket and tan pants at the time of the incident. The OCPD is asking for the public's assistance in identifying the two individual's captured on the car wash's video surveillance tapes. Anyone with information is urged to contact OCPD Detective Shawn Jones at 410-723-6604.
Suspended Sentence For Spotlighting
SNOW HILL – A Salisbury man arrested on numerous charges in Worcester County in October after police observed him spotlighting and shooting deer from a vehicle pleaded guilty last week in District Court to casting rays with an implement and was sentenced to 25 days in jail, all of which was suspended in favor of probation and a hefty fine.
Around 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 30, 2009, Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) observed a man later identified as Kevin Matthew Twilley, 30, of Salisbury, poaching deer at night by shining a spotlight on a field along Scotty Rd. in Worcester County from his vehicle. NRP officer then observed Twilley take a shot at a deer, which had been spotlighted in the field adjacent to the roadway.
As NRP officers approached the vehicle, Twilley fled the scene. After a brief chase, NRP officers stopped Twilley, with the assistance of Pocomoke Police, on Route 13 near Dividing Creek Rd. A check of Twilley's driver's license revealed it was suspended and a check of the license plate on the vehicle revealed it was stolen from the Berlin area in July. Worcester County Sheriff's Deputies assisted in the arrest.
Twilley was charged with casting rays of artificial light capable of killing deer, hunting deer out of season, shooting from a roadway, hunting on private land without permission, hunting from a vehicle, theft, fleeing and eluding, reckless driving and numerous other traffic-related violations. Last week in District Court, Twilley pleaded guilty to spotlighting deer and driving on a suspended license and was sentenced to 25 days in jail, all of which was suspended. He was then fined $1,000 and placed on probation for two years.
Probation, Other Charges Dropped
SNOW HILL – An Ocean Pines man arrested on drunk-driving and trespassing charges in December after allegedly entering a Berlin neighborhood seeking to buy drugs was found guilty last week in District Court to driving while impaired and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, all of which was suspended.
Around 2:45 a.m. on Dec. 12, 2009, Berlin Police were in the Bay Terrace Apartments when they observed a white truck enter the residential complex. Berlin police were directed to a crowd in the parking lot who told the officers the driver of the truck, later identified as Jeffrey Grove, 35, of Ocean Pines, was allegedly trying to buy drugs from them.
Berlin police made contact with Grove and detected a moderate odor of alcohol on his breath and person, according to police reports. Grove was asked to complete field sobriety tests, which were not completed satisfactorily, according to police reports. Grove was charged with driving under the influence and driving while intoxicated.
He was also charged with trespassing on posted property after he could not adequately tell police what he was doing in the neighborhood. According to police reports, Grove told officers he was looking for an employee at 3 a.m., but was unable to provide a full name for the employee, an address or even a cell phone number, according to police reports. Last week in District Court, Grove pleaded guilty to driving while impaired and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, all of which was suspended. The other charges against him were not prosecuted.
Armed Robbery Case
Forwarded To Circuit
SNOW HILL – An Ocean Pines man arrested in December on armed robbery and assault charges had his case forwarded to Circuit Court last week after a preliminary hearing at the District Court level determined there was probable cause in the case against him.
Shortly after 8 p.m. on Dec. 15, 2009, Ocean Pines Police officers and Worcester County Sheriff's deputies responded to the Walgreen's store on Manklin Creek Rd. in Ocean Pines for a reported attempted armed robbery. The investigation revealed a suspect entered the warehouse area of the store and accosted a female employee. The suspect was described at the time as an Hispanic or Asian male, wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt or jacket, camouflage pants and a dark-colored bandana covering his face.
The suspect, armed with a knife, demanded the female employee take him to a cash register inside the main store. Once inside, the employee was able to flee the victim, who gave up the effort and fled on foot. Worcester County Sheriff's Deputies, including a K-9 unit, conducted an extensive search of the area but failed to immediately locate the suspect.
However, Worcester County Bureau of Investigation (WCBI) detectives took over the investigation and were later able to identify the suspect as Patrick William Self, 18, of Ocean Pines, who was arrested and charged with armed robbery, first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment among others. Self appeared in District Court last week and had his case forwarded to Circuit Court.
Berlin Family Displaced By Fire
BERLIN – A mid-day residential fire in Berlin last Thursday severely damaged a home on Maple Ave. and displaced the family living there.
Around 12:45 p.m. last Thursday, the Berlin Fire Company responded to a reported fire at a residence on Maple Ave. First arriving units reported fire showing from one side of the single-story residential dwelling. Fire companies from Showell and Ocean Pines also responded and the fire was quickly extinguished with no injuries reported.
The fire was contained to room of origin, but heavy heat and smoke damage was reported in the remainder of the dwelling. The fire originated in the living room and the cause was determined to be accidental. The Red Cross was contacted to assist the family.
Coast Guard Rescues Ill Man
OCEAN CITY – The Coast Guard was called into action on Monday to airlift an ill man from a fishing boat roughly 60 miles off the coast of Ocean City.
Around 2:15 p.m. on Monday, the Coast Guard received a call from a crewmember aboard the fishing boat "Emily Brook" reporting a 61-year-old crewman was experiencing shortness of breath due to asthma and needed emergency medical assistance. A rescue helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City arrived on the scene and hoisted the unidentified man aboard their chopper. The man was then transported to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin for treatment.
No New Jail Time
In Prescription Fraud
OCEAN CITY – An Ocean City man arrested in June for posing as a doctor to call in fake prescriptions for painkillers to resort pharmacies pleaded guilty last week to obtaining prescriptions by fraud and was sentenced to 97 days in jail.
On June 11, 2009, the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) narcotics unit conducted a pharmaceutical drug investigation involving a suspect, later identified as Shannon Sanders Alexander, 38, of Ocean City, who had been representing himself as a doctor from Laurel, Md. and calling in fraudulent Hydrocodone prescriptions to local pharmacies.
OCPD detectives were made aware of Alexander's alleged activity when they were contacted by the CVS pharmacy on 120th Street after the pharmacist became suspicious of the suspect's request for the drugs and the manner in which they were being prescribed. Detectives later learned the individual for whom the medication had been fraudulently prescribed had recently been discharged as a patient from a Laurel, Md. doctor's office.
During the investigation, detectives learned Alexander had been discharged as a patient from the doctor's office several months ago because of repeated attempts to phone in fraudulent prescriptions by posing as a doctor. Detectives later arrested Alexander at the CVS on 120th Street as he attempted to pick up a prescription for Hydrocodone he had called in by representing himself as a doctor.
During the arrest, OCPD officers also found marijuana in Alexander's possession. He has been charged with obtaining a CDS prescription by fraud, obtaining a CDS prescription by impersonation, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. Last week in District Court, Alexander pleaded guilty to obtaining prescription by fraud and was sentenced to 97 days in jail. He was then given credit for the 97 days he spend in jail awaiting trial.

Pugs Play in The Pages of Vogue Italia
Pugs Strike a Pose in Vogue
If there is anything cuter than a gaggle of smooshy Pugs running all over a posh mansion, sipping tea, and showing off their super long tongues like in this month's Vogue Italia, then please let me know! Fellow animal lover Fab gave me the heads up on the cutie-patootie pugs, who are posing with the gorgeous supermodel Linda Evangelista in this high brow June spread. But pup models aren't strictly an Italian trend, Pomeranians are found playing in the pages of the June issue of Vogue here in the states, too! This is definitely a fashion trend I don't mind seeing – animals as models, not as clothes. Nothing against the beautiful Linda E., but I'd pick up the mag just to see the tubby puppies!
Check out the rest of the pages, courtesy of Fashion Week Daily in the slideshow. Warning: it's totally "Awwww!" inducing!

OVIEDO, Fla. - A Seminole County deputy is recovering after he fell out of a car being driven by a man wanted for shoplifting, authorities said.
The deputy stopped Robert Pinos on Wednesday night outside the Publix grocery store off Clayton Crossing Way in Oviedo, according to officials.
Deputies said Pinos had shoplifted two lipsticks and a pair of sunglasses from the Publix on Aloma Avenue, but dropped his wallet.
The deputy went to arrest Pinos in his neighborhood, but Pinos struggled, and the pair ended inside Pinos' car, video released by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office shows.
Pinos shoved the deputy to the ground and drove off, officials said.
Pinos was eventually found at a home off Steed Terrace and taken into custody. Deputies said Pinos had tried to hide in the attic, but fell through the floor into the garage.
The deputy was taken to the hospital with a head injury, but is OK. He was treated and put back on light duty on Thursday.

Friday, February 24, 2012 - Wank Party 2012 #2, Part 2
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Wank Party 2012 #2 features Paul Fresh, Roman Lysacek, Rudy Bodlak, Mirek Ceslar and Jozef Vavrich. The action continues from where we left it in part one. With Jozef rimming Mirek and Rudy rimming Roman. Who would have thought that, just a few weeks ago, Rudy rimming his close friend Roman? I bet neither of them did. As Roman is being rimmed his kisses Paul as well. Rudy then takes things further, sitting on Paul's rock hard cock and riding it hard and fast. Just behind him Jozef is being fucked nice and deep by Mirek, while sucking on Roman's big dick. Mireks balls are banging against Jozef's ass as he fucks so deep. Jozef takes it very well and never lets up from sucking on Roman's throbbing dick. Changing positions Rudy is being banged by Paul, his dick stretching that hole real wide, and Mirek has Jozef sitting on his cock. Jozef's dick is rock hard and standing proud as Mirek's cock is plowing into his hole. Paul continues to bang away at Rudy's ass while Roman leans over to kiss Jozef while he is impaled on Mirek's dick. Paul and Mirek then lay down next to each other, and Rudy and Jozef change partners. Rudy sit right down on Mirek's cock and Jozef rides Pauls. Roman stands between them wanking as he watches closely. As they ride those cocks Roman sits down and wanks himself getting ready for the cumshots. The guys all group themselves around Rudy to shoot their loads. First to shoot is Mirek, who dumps that load all over Rudy's face, and in his mouth. Rudy quickly goes down on the shooting cock to get all the cum he can. Rudy turns and catches Roman's cum as well, his mouth covering the cock to completely drain it. He sucks on his friend, hard, to make sure he gets it all. Next up is Paul who dumps a big load over Rudy. Rudy then sucks him dry as well. Jozef follows up with his load in Rudy's mouth and, again, Rudy slurps his mouth over the cock to drain it. Having caught four big loads Rudy leans back and shoots his own cum, a nice creamy load. The guys then leave the meditation room to Mirek, who sits down to relax after his exertions. What a lovely shoot this is with everybody doing great. It was especially nice to see the action between buddies Rudy and Roman, hopefully we can get them to do even more with each other.
We have a fully remastered version of one of my most popular movies of all time, The Jan Dvorak Story. Jan is such a great model, a really handsome guy with a massive dick. In this scene we have some great views as we see Jan, new to the city, looking for the hotel that he will work in. One of the guests is Pavel Dubcek, who orders room service. Jan is the one who has to deliver the food, and when he arrives Pavel chats to him, about his good looks, and working as a photo model. Eager not to miss a chance Pavel invites Jan to stay and eat, and every soon is seducing him. Pavel sucks on Jan's big cock and then they both get naked and suck each other. But Pavel wants more and his rock hard cock is soon deep in Jan's ass, fucking nice and deep. That ass is tight and feels so good around Pavel's cock that he cant hold back. He pulls out and cums all over Jan's feet. Then he holds his hands out for Jan to cum in them. But he hasn't finished and he starts all over again, and is soon fucking Jan again, filling his hole with that big cock. Jan loves that cock and he builds up and shoots another big load, over his body. That does it for Pavel and he dumps his load again too. He then takes Jan to the shower to clean up. It was so good to see this scene again. We will post scene 2, fully remastered, soon.
Honza Forst is aged 18 and lives in Kadan. He works as a motor mechanic and in his spare time he enjoys cars and football. What a great looking guy Honza is, such a handsome face. He starts off, in his video, by stowing his football in a locker and then leaning against it, in his football gear. His hands begin to run over his body and one hand drops teasingly to his leg, pulling his shorts up, showing us a real hairy thigh. He reaches in the leg of the shorts and, just for a moment, we think he is going to pull his cock out. But he is only teasing. Then he begins to lift his shirt, so we can see his body, before letting it fall again. One hand starts to play with his cock, thru the shorts, and again he teases us by pulling the leg of the shorts up. Honza really does have great thighs, from playing football. It seems that Honza's cock is growing in those shorts as his hands grab at it, and he suggestively squeezes it. He then pulls the waistband of the shorts down a bit and a nice hard cock flops into view, with a lovely pair of balls. Turning slightly to the side we get a great view of Honza's erection as he feels his chest. He removes his shirts and begins to wank that cock as he caresses his chest. His balls hang low and heavy as he wanks himself, slowly. Honza turns, with his back to the camera and bends over, very slowly removing his shorts and those glorious, hairy thighs are in full view, supporting a lovely ass. With his legs spread wide, and bent over, Honza looks thru the legs as he wanks his cock. Then he spreads his ass and we get a great view of his tight bung hole. What a lovely ass it is, and Honza uses both hands to spread the cheeks wide apart, to make sure we can see everything. He then lays down on a bench and begins to wank his big, fat cock. A helping hand arrives and begins to rub his hands over Honza's chest, oiling it so that is glistens. the hands then remove Honzas football boots and socks and oil those gorgeous thighs, before taking hold of his rock hard cock. The cock seems to swell even more in those hands, as they play with it, and with the balls. Honza lifts his legs in the air to expose his ass and the hands waste no time in oiling the ass and wanking on that cock. A finger slips into Honza's tight hole, and then two fingers, all the time the other hands wanks on that cock. Next a vibrator appears and slides into Honza's tight ass, while the hand wanks on his cock. Very soon Honza cannot hold back as his cock is wanked, and he deliver a load of creamy cum over the hands fingers. All the while the vibrator is working in his ass heightening the pleasure he feels. The hands milk that cock completely and rubs the vibrator over the tender cock head. Honza then goes off to the shower to clean up. What a lovely shoot from a very sexy model who has also done some wonderful full contact scenes for us.
Tomas Coubal is 22 years old and lives in Hodonin. He is self-employed and enjoys computer games, athletics and fitness. He looks very good in this stills shoot, as he firstly shows us a nice bubble butt. Then as he strips further we see a big, flaccid cock. Soon he is fully naked and showing it all. With his ass cheeks spread and with a rock hard cock Tomas looks very good indeed. I will look forward to seeing his erotic video.
Honza Franek is from Louny and is aged 21. He is currently unemployed and likes cars and kick boxing. Honza looks great as he sits on the bed for his interview. Then he lifts his tee shirt and we see some very nice abs. Soon he is on his knees, with his cock out, and balls hanging low. He removes his tee shirt and we see a lovely body. As he plays with his cock he lifts as arm so we can see the pit and that handsome face. He licks his bicep as well, which is very erotic. Then as he wanks himself he feels his chest. His cock fully hard Honza then bends over to show the shape of his lovely ass. He runs his hand over that ass, and it opens the cheeks so we can see his tight pucker hole. He bends over further and a full on shot of that hole looks great, as he wanks his hard cock. Honza is in his element showing himself off and he turns over, onto his back and wanks himself some more, lifting legs in turns to show us some more ass. His cock looks great, so hard, as he again turns so he can push the cock between his legs and open his ass at the same time. Honza then gets to his feet and bends, with legs wide apart, so he can look at the camera thru them as his hole is on display and he plays with his cock. What a great exhibition he puts on and he eventually lays down and shoot a massive cumshot, that squirts right up his chest, to finish his show. Then it is off to the shower to clean up. Honza really does look great and I hope we can do more with him soon.

BEREA, Ohio—If Trent Richardson is going to live up of being a No. 3 overall draft pick, it's time to get busy. It's not enough for Richardson to have had a big game Sunday against the league's then-No. 1 run defense, San Diego.
Certainly the Browns will take his 122 yards and the rare win. They are rightfully encouraged he broke tackles on a few chunk-yardage runs and displayed the quick feet that are a nifty complement to his nose for the end zone.
Yet, it was Richardson's only electric day since Week 2 at Cincinnati. He must prove he has the focus to be consistent and give the Browns a player who must be accounted for each week. He needs to use his thick build more and dance less.
Only Richardson knows—and he isn't saying—how much he was slowed by a knee injury that knocked him out of the preseason, and a rib injury suffered two Sundays ago against the Bengals.
The San Diego game was a sign he has moved past both issues. The next opponent, Baltimore, has allowed more than 180 rushing yards to each of its last three opponents.
Even if the injury-plagued Ravens stack the box against Richardson, it will be no excuse for him not to be productive. It will help, of course, if rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden takes advantage of openings in the passing game if the Ravens sell out to stop Richardson.
Indianapolis made such an approach work against Richardson recently, but that was when his ribs were aching. The guess is Richardson is headed for Rookie of the Year contention if he shows well against Baltimore and comes out of the other side of the bye week in good health.

"Poor" officials have seen dramatic salary increase144
- 12.02.2013, 11:26
Vice-Prime Ministers and ministers of the Republic of Belarus as well as other officials received a significant bonus to their ministerial salaries.
The bonus came from a dramatic increase of the payment amounts at the "second job" – a representative of the state in the governing bodies of an economic entity.
According to the decree No 74 as of 8 February 2013, the norms of reward for officials for supervision over an enterprise were increased from 6 to 20 basic units per quarter with the enterprise's profitability of 10% inclusive; from 9 to 25 basic units - with the profitability from 10 to 15% inclusive; from 15 to 45 basic units – with the profitability from 15 to 25% inclusive; from 18 to 55 basic units – with the profitability over 25%, AFN reports.
The officials, representing the state's interests in banks, will see the largest increase – the norm has been raised from 25 to 75 basic units per quarter.

Barber shop owner cites struggles with city as reason for closing
Logan's Barber Shop on the corner of Skinner and Robertson streets is closing after more than 50 years, after its owner decided to close shop following a two-year struggle with the city of Denton.
Leonard Logan opened the shop in the early 1960s, after operating a shop in another location. When he died in 1997 at age 76, he left Logan's Barber Shop to his son, Leonard Logan Jr.
"I'm not happy about shutting down, but I think it's time to go," Leonard Logan Jr., 74, said.
The shop, which is normally buzzing with locals, is now empty. Boxes of memorabilia are scattered across the floor, and the Logan's Barber Shop sign has been taken down.
The decision to close was hard, Logan said.
Logan, also known as Junior to his customers, said he started cutting hair when he was 17 years old.
"I finished barber college before I finished high school," he said.
Over the years, the barber shop became a staple in the black community. It was also a social hub for customers to come in and chat about crime, politics, community events and any topics they felt like talking about.
Many of Logan's patrons have been loyal customers since the 1960s and 1970s.
On Thursday, as Logan was in the process of packing up some of his belongings, many of his longtime customers told stories of how they used to hang out at the shop when they were younger. It was a time when their hair had little gray.
"There's a lot of history in this building," shop regular Jack Johnson said. "It's really sad to see it go."
Burkley Harkless said he began going to Logan's in the 1960s, stopping by after his classes at what is now the University of North Texas.
"There was a time I used to come here every day," he said. "This was the place to be and to hang out."
With the closing of the shop, Logan said he's putting the clippers down for good. He said he's only cutting hair for a few people — his grandson and two elderly residents who need help with routine activities.
He said many of his customers have tried to persuade him to stay because no one cuts hair like he does.
"I want them to know that I'm sorry, but I have to go," he said. "They complain that other shops don't cut hair like mine, but the great thing about hair is that it grows back. If they mess up, try again next week."
What will Logan miss the most about his shop?
"The people. The people are what I'll miss the most," he said. "I don't do this for money. The shop never made a lot. I only make enough to pay my shop's rent and utilities."
Before retiring, Logan worked for 22 years as a security officer for Texas Woman's University to pay the bills while also working at the barber shop.
Conflicts arose between Logan and the city about two years ago, Logan said.
The building is owned by an organization called the Masonic Lodge, he said. And though it's one building, it has at least two tenants — each with a separate address — Logan's is at 619 Skinner St. and the second tenant is at 407 Robertson St.
The owner of the Robertson Street address receives the water bill for the entire building, and in an attempt to pay his share of the bill, Logan hit a few obstacles.
The most recent roadblock happened when Logan's shop failed a building inspection, which led to the water service being shut off.
"The issue is that the building does not have a current certificate of occupancy and no one can find an old [certificate] either," said Kurt Hansen, manager of the building inspection division.
Hansen said the city's code enforcement officers check to make sure that commercial buildings and businesses have current certificates of occupancy and if a business changes its name, or owners, the business is required to get a new certificate before city customer service will give them service.
Logan's father's certificate of occupancy became invalid after he died and left the shop to his son.
Logan said the entire process has been overwhelming. And, according to city documents from this year, city officials even referred to Logan's shop as a new business.
"A new business? You call 60 years old new?" Logan said. "I just wanted a new connection that would allow me to pay my own bills. It was a small thing that turned into a two-year struggle. And now they turned off my water."
Hansen said the city is working with the owners of the building to mitigate the issues.
"I realize that this is an overwhelming task ... but I think we will be able to proceed and get the water back on soon," he said.
Hansen said that some owners of older structures fear certificate of occupancy inspections because of the potential of being required to repair code issues. He said some required repairs can be costly even though the inspectors try to work with the owners as much as possible to help them obtain their certificates and still ensure a safe structure for the public.
However, changes in city ordinances in building regulations and an aging building proved too much to maintain at his age, Logan said.
And he said he feels the process should be easier, considering that the business was given to him by his father.
Logan's wife, Freddie Logan, said it was easy to see how hard the struggle was on her husband.
"You could see how much it bothered him," she said. "He's been talking about closing the shop for two years — ever since we started having the problems."
She said it was a relief when he finally decided to close the shop, which she refers to as a historic building.
"We knew it was coming," she said. "I think it's a good idea because it's been hard trying to keep up with the maintenance on the building, too. He looks happier now."
But Logan said he believes the conflicts are a sign from God, signaling that it's time to quit.
Logan is a recovering alcoholic and 33 years sober. He said his life turned around for the better once he began putting his faith in God.
"You have to listen to what God is telling you," he said. "If things aren't working out no matter how hard you try, then God is trying to send you a message to move on because he probably has something better waiting for you. I'm too old to be ignoring God."

You need Snapdragon S8 morronKrait, or 900? With 100K antutu junk? Sorry, this is not android, it wont lag with these specs.
This is a nice phone, that makes really superB pictures, microSD would be nice, you can also read emails, - you know, size is allright for a phone, that you carry in your pocket, make a call, answer a call..and make a nice shots of your kids etc...
Gaming??? Even on your monster phone you ll get blind in 4 years even if it is togari 6,4", Get a console and comfortable seat for gaming...
..and remember - THIS IS A PHONE, very good one.
p.s. My android days are going to end :)
15. No_Nonsense (unregistered)
Yeah, the camera is terrific, but the rest of the specs, although WP doesn't need it, won't make me buy a 1020. I'd have preferred a quad-core device personally. For the insane camera, I have the 808.

Q. Hi Oracle! Do you know if Chris read The Hunger Games: Catching Fire to write Atlas? I think this song really reflects Katniss' feelings over the book.
The Oracle replies:
Well, as I mentioned t'other day, this isn't a case of a previously available song being selected for the film, it's a brand new track written specifically for Catching Fire.

This Raleigh, NC band offers up a sprawling, inventive debut album of epic folk-pop that takes in a dizzying variety of sounds. Dense production, intricate arrangements and a wide variety of instrumentation fail to obscure some magnificent songs reminiscent of both the freewheeling playfulness of Animal Collective and the anthemic power of the Arcade Fire. 10/11/2006 - Don Yates

After his most trying regular season ever, Augusta State coach Dip Metress wanted to make everyone aware of the final team making its way to next week's Peach Belt Conference Tournament.
"Call the Chamber of Commerce in Columbus (Ga.)," he said. "Look who's coming to dinner."
The Jaguars' postseason hopes were in doubt after forward Harold Doby was suspended for the season after his arrest on a gun charge in mid-January. Then Metress booted center Chad July off the team and then backup guard Josh Samuels.
Short-handed, Augusta State needed a win Saturday at Flagler to keep its season alive. Before the game, Metress told his players to write down the initials of one person who doubted they'd ever play college basketball. The move worked.
Ryan Weems scored 27 points and Augusta State led all the way in a 56-40 road victory over the Saints.
Augusta State, the East No. 4 seed, will play West Division champion Montevallo at 7 p.m. Friday in the tournament quarterfinals.
"Our guys haven't quit all year," Metress said by cell phone.
With the victory, he locked up his ninth consecutive winning campaign with the Jaguars (14-12).
With Augusta State milking the clock, Flagler recorded only three field goals in the first half and shot 29 percent for the game. The Saints shot just 4 for 20 from 3-point range.

Black replacement silicon foam head cap for Hitachi Magic Wand® and similar hand held massagers. Just slip off the old head cap and slide on a new one to restore your Magic Wand to like new operation. Also works with Wand Mate adapter for Wahl® massagers.
White Magic Wand Massager Replacement Head Cap
Product Description
While they are resilient, over time the 2" silicon foam head caps used on the Hitachi Magic Wand® style hand held massagers can become less firm, soiled, dingy, faded, fit less snugly onto the massager and in general just not look or feel as good as they did when they were new. But restoring your massager to "like new" performance is as simple as sliding off the old head cap and sliding on a new replacement. Plus, if you share your massager with a partner, you can each have a head cap of your own. White. Also available in black and purple. Also works with Wand Mate adapters for Wahl® massagers
Features of these replacement massager head caps include:
Restore your Hitachi Magic Wand or other hand held massager to "like new" performance with a new replacement silicon foam head cap.
Important Note: Under the laws of the State of Washington, massager head caps are considered personal hygiene items which can only be returned for credit in the original, unopened packaging. Please contact customer service before returning this item.

Been struggling to find reward flights for October as need to do MAN-MCO in the school holidays. Been checking since November then out of the blue today bagged 3 Gs with 47,500 miles per passenger for 3 of us the first weekend of the school holidays but back via Atlanta which isn't a problem. Totally unexpected but pleasant surprise so thank you to everyone on here for the advice to keep checking what I thought was a lost cause!

If Mark is out there somewhere and has some stock buried in the back if the garage, that would be awesome.

By Charles K. Trainor
In the 1980s, "Hill Street Blues" was a popular TV police drama. Each morning, the officers gathered for a briefing that outlined the events of the previous night and provided instructions for the day. After dismissal, they noisily exited the squad room only to be silenced by their sergeant's last, gruff admonishment, "Hey! Let's be careful out there."
It's good advice for school board members, too. Just as police officers regularly confront danger, school districts face threats to their educational and financial missions. To protect district resources, board members must recognize those risks and understand the internal controls that manage them.
If you define risk as anything that can prevent a district from accomplishing its goals and objectives, then you have a lot to be careful about. Board members may be unaware of the potential problems that endanger their districts. Some are aware of risks but do not know how to respond.
Whether unaware or uninformed, the board is ultimately responsible for protecting students from inadequate educational programs and taxpayers from financial loss. Ignoring risk can jeopardize the district's reputation and, in some cases, violate the law.
Board members need a warning system to alert them to new or existing threats to district operations. Recognizing potential risk before it materializes allows the board and administrative team to develop effective strategies that eliminate or mitigate hazards.

My DH played a trick on me. He works in the garden center in Walmart, a "keep him active" job! Anyway, he found out the store had marked down(50%off) all the precut fabrics because they are putting the fabric dept back in and had clear out the precuts.
When he came home, he told me he had a surprise for me and told me to close my eyes. He had bought a stack of fabric, each one was some shade or print in Purple :) :) :) And purple isn't one of my favorite colors!!! There was ten different two yard bundles and 1 fat quarter bundle. He didn't realize that two of the two-yd bundles were children's fabrics, Disney and Nickelodeon "Dora" fabric
When my GD's (ages 4yr and 6yr) came to house last week, one spotted the purple Disney with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty; the other GD spotted the purple Dora fabric. And each asked for a quilt! But the funniest thing was, when they both spotted the purple sequin fabric and asked at the same time "Nonnie, put that on my quilt"! Pleaseee!
How could any grandmother turn down that request? Chris

If Bill Withers was commissioner of the PGA Tour, he might put it this way: "Ain't no sunshine when he's gone ... only darkness every day."
Commissioner Tim Finchem won't go that far in describing his PGA Tour world without Tiger Woods. Finchem isn't much of a vocalist, anyway. He is, however, a realist.
"I'm not saying everything is fine," Finchem said during a recent conference call. "We' in a down economy. Having the No. 1 player in our sport not playing is not a positive thing."
We won't bore you again with the details; you've heard them before. The television ratings that spike by as much as 100 percent, the purses that have gone up exponentially since the late 1990s, the attendance figures that escalate significantly, the merchandise sales that swell, and so on, and so forth. All of it is directly associated to one bag — the one belonging to Tiger Woods.
So what happens now? The headlines have rescinded in recent days, but the long-term fallout remains uncertain. When Woods returns from his self-imposed leave of absence, his facial cuts will be healed but the emotional scars will be available.
The collateral damage done by the explosion of Woods' personal life will be irreversible on some levels. Sponsors like AT&T and Gatorade already jumped ship. The invincible yoke of impeccable demeanor and uncompromising character has been shattered for good. Time will soften the picture, but for now, the gallery responses might hinge on Woods' marital status.
If Elin Nordegren Woods elects to stay with her offending husband, significant numbers will empathize and sympathize. The divorce/separation figures in this country are staggering. More than a few average Joes and Josephines can relate to what is happening in the Woods' household, even if on a less grandiose scale. They will pull for the embattled family and strained relationship to beat the odds and cheer for a comeback.
On the other hand, if that yacht has sailed, if Tiger and Elin can't work things out, it will establish a divider between good and evil. And we all know which sides of the fence Mr. Woods will fall. The TMZs and Nancy Graces of the world will make that sensationally clear, night after night ... after night.
How does it affect the legendary focus? Stevie Williams, Woods' caddy, has been known to accost photographers who dare test those powers of concentration with an intrusive shutter. What happens when the hecklers show up, when the jokes about "rescue clubs" start to fly, when the crude remarks concerning "head covers" are heard. You know they're coming.
Does Williams go into the crowd like a crazed Happy Gilmore, does he kick Bob Barker's ass? How will the notorious Woods stare down be received? Will he still slam a club in anger, or bark F-bombs after bad shots? Will he still punctuate big moments with the defiant fist pumps?
Or will it be a kinder, gentler Tiger, an autograph-signing Tiger, a tame Tiger. For that matter, how will the new groove rule impact his game? Will he have the same rough-resisting escape artist? Or can Woods put all of this to bed — pardon the expression — by simply winning again?
No one knows for sure what kind of player Woods will be when he returns, and for that matter no one knows when he will be back. But we know what golf has been like when he has been missing. We were reminded just last year when he took eight months off to rehabilitate his knee after winning the 2008 U.S. Open.
But a 2010 season that begins without Woods might be different. There are some storylines in the mix that potentially capture imaginations. Nothing it going to make the needle jump like Woods, whose celebrity is arguably bigger than ever, now that it transitions from sports pages to scandal sheets.
But there are developments in the game that might help fill the void. Should Woods stay away for an extended period of time — although it is hard to imagine he would miss the Masters in April — an opportunity exists for the second-most celebrated player in the world, Phil Mickelson, to resurface.
Already popular for his everyman vulnerability and family values, "Lefty" could be a straw that stirs the PGA Tour drink if he can make a significant splash. A sympathetic figure in 2009, when both his wife and mother were diagnosed with breast cancer, Mickelson finished on a dramatic note, starring in the President's Cup, winning the Tour Championship and the HSBC Champions.
Mickelson has not won a major since the 72nd hole debacle at Winged Foot kept him from winning the 2006 U.S. Open and a third major in succession. If he can get back to that level, if he can win at Augusta or at Pebble Beach (site of the U.S. Open), he will fill the empty magazine covers.
Likewise, for golf as a whole, Michelle Wie looms as a box office name with which to reckon. Wie is the only player on the LPGA Tour that creates the kind of buzz that crosses gender and nationality. The former child star got her first professional win late in 2009 and came close to doing it again before the year was out.
If Wie has broken through, if she is ready to be the spectacular player a 2006 Time magazine predicted she would be when it listed her as "one of the 100 people who shape our world," she can do profound things for the LPGA and help stabilize a Tiger-less landscape.
Another story that bears watching is the groove move. The new restrictions represent the first equipment rollback by the USGA and Royal and Ancient in 80 years. The shift back to V-grooves is the latest salvo in the ongoing war between innovation and integrity.
For some, like Jack Nicklaus, the protective potential of the new rule amounts to little more than a "chair off the Titanic." For others, like Pat Perez, who used conforming irons to compete in the Chevron World Challenge last month, it's a "whole new game." Will the new irons shackle the "bomb and gouge" squad, or will these talented players develop techniques to neutralize their impact.
When Enquiring minds aren't occupied by Woods' marriage counseling updates, they will want to know.
And there is always the possibility, in the absence of Woods, another star might rise. Perhaps Anthony Kim will get his act together in 2010. Perhaps Rory McIlroy is the real deal. Perhaps Ernie Els will come back, or Padraig Harrington will reboot. Perhaps Sergio Garcia really does exist, after all. Maybe Tom Watson, or some elder like him, can take us back in time once more.
"It won't be at the same levels without our No. 1 player, there's no question about that," Finchem said. "No sport would be at the same level without its No. 1 player. But I think the doom and gloom needs to go away."
Agreed, because there is a self-perpetuating quality to the all-in attention paid to Woods. Ain't no sunshine when Tiger's gone, maybe that's true to some extent. But if you're a fan of golf, 2010 will not be only darkness, not every day, anyway.

Howard wins NL Player of the Month
Phillies slugger notched 11 homers, 33 RBIs in August
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard has been selected as the Sharp Presents the National League Player of the Month for August. It is Howard's fourth career monthly award. Howard batted .299 (32-for-107) with six doubles, one triple and 18 runs scored. He led the NL with 11 home runs and tied for the Major League lead with American League Player of Month Kendry Morales of the Angels at 33 RBIs for August. Entering Thursday night's game against the Giants in Philadelphia, the 2006 NL Most Valuable Player has 214 career home runs, four shy of gaining sole possession of sixth place on the club's all-time list. Overall, Howard is hitting .275 with 37 home runs, ranking him fourth in the Majors, and has already achieved a career-high 31 doubles and five stolen bases.

We found the apartment spacious & well situated near the seafront of Ostia. It was ideal for our son, partner & baby to visit.
