LIVE UPDATES: Riot fallout hits south London, Croydon

Croydon riots coverage
Click here for full coverage of the Croydon riots and the aftermath
7.36am Tuesday: Morning. A new live blog has been started, so click here to follow developments in Croydon today
1.20am: Crews still fighting a number of fires in Croydon, including 20 firefighters at a blaze in London Road.
1.10am: A group of Crystal Palace residents united to see off looters
This is a video from Maciej Prokop in Croydon tonight - more of these tomorrow. Don't miss them.
1.00am: Police confirmed there was a non fatal shooting in Croydon during the looting.
They had no details of the identity of the victim but said it was not a police officer. It was unclear whether it was related to last night's rioting.
Latest reports reports suggest the situation in Croydon is easing slowly but there are still sporadic pockets of looting and disorder.
Police said all the borough had been affected with crimes taking place in New Addington, Norbury, Thornton Heath, Addiscombe and town centre.
Commander Christine Jones, said: "The violence we have seen is simply inexcusable. Ordinary people have had their lives turned upside down by this mindless thuggery. The Met will ensure that those responsible will face the consequences of their actions and be arrested."
00.12am: Your story. - Patrick Ratnaraja - I just got back from Broadgreen area and could not believe what I saw when I was there.
There were groups of young people very well organised (have all the tools they need) breaking into shops one by one.
I have never seen so many young people on the streets of West Croydon with bottles of alcohol.
There were cars parked on the side streets for those to getaway with looted items.
A van and a car was set on fire.
Best food (Tamil grocery shop).
An electronics shop near Zodiac court.
A motorcycle shop.
A currency exchange place and of course Lidl.
The police could see what was going on but were helpless and did not move beyond the Lidl area.
Apparently now the organised gang has gone away after breaking into the exchange place. It is now the local gangs roaming around.
A young man could not carry all those bottles on his own stopped my car and even offered me a bottle of vodka free saying "just take it brother".
There is absolutely no excuse for what has happened in Broadgreen and other parts of Croydon.
We cannot blame the police as they are severely under resourced.
It is time for people to start taking responsibility. I hope parents of these young people will come forward and inform the police if they see their children with stolen goods.
Your stories - Barry Gentry.
00.07: Heading through Purley Way at 9.45am Sainsburys and TK Maxx being looted PC World had people just walking along the road with TVs in hand not even running.
Headed to the back of Centrale to See Reeves on fire with the building collapsing loads of cars parked up with a handful of police stopping people for getting past.
Headed to West Croydon there was a line of riot police blocking from the station towards the centre with smoke filling the air behind them.
I rode towards Thornton Heath to see every other shop has been broken into the road was covered in glass and waste there were people just standing around while a van was melting into the tarmac.
More towards the bus garage near the pond they were breaking into Somerfield and the TV store opposite.
Norbury KFC was smashed up the gambling shop had been ripped open and they were heading towards Streatham
23.56: Your stories - Mark Luker .
I drove up through Sumner Road at about 2100 hours and saw large groups of male youths, most covering thier lower faces and most of black ethnicity, running towards London Road.
About twenty minutes before I saw large groups running along Mitcham Road towards the BP petrol garage, most looked like they were carrying items taken from shops.
23.51pm: A member of the Reeves family has said he would not "not have been averse to shooting" the rioters who burned down his family's Croydon furniture store tonight.
Speaking to the BBC Trevor Reeves, a member of the fifth generation of the Reeves family to work at the store, said the building was now just a shell.
"What are we giong to do for the future now?" he said.
"How are we giong to keep trading and get everything sorted out?
"It's just a shell."
The shop employs 15 people.
23.16: A decision on whether Crystal Palace's Carling Cup tie against Crawley Town tomorrow night can go ahead will be made in the morning.
Meanwhile, Charlton's tie against Reading has been called off on police advice and the FA is also seeking guidance from the Met on whether England's friendly at Wembley against Holland will take place.
West Ham's game tomorrow night has also been called off.
23.14: The building seen burning in Croydon is the borough's oldest furniture retailer.
House of Reeves has been trading for over 140 years, and is such an integral part of Croydon, the surrounding parade of shops is known as Reeves Corner.
The famous landmark in Church Street, Croydon, was targeted by rioters and looters at around 9pm. Seconds after a double-decker bus went up in flames, yobs smashed the store's doors and windows.
Groups of youths wearing hoods and masks entered the store, stealing furniture before returning and setting fire to the contents engulfing the family run store in flames.
Reeves was founded in 1867 by Edwin Reeves, from Sherborne in Dorset. Five generations of the Reeves family have run the shop which was one of the few independent furniture retailers left in London.
Marc Reeves tweeted: "That shop in Croydon is on a street that bears its name: Reeves Corner. Established by my great great grandfather in 1867. Now gone."
23.07: Croydon Guardian reporters Peter Truman and Hannah Williamson were at the House of Reeves just minutes before it went. Peter tells the story.
The black smoke plumed into the sky just metres from the buildng we stood near only minutes ago. As I near the scene I see a gang of more than a hundred youths in hoodies and masks doing as they please.
A double decker bus is engulfed in flames in Old Palace Road while youths smash windows in nearby stores in Church Street and run off with anything they can grab.
Fearing for my safety I look around for a policeman but they are nowhere to be seen. For the past hour we have seen an organised operation from gangs of youths using phones to discuss the latest hit and tales of evading police.
As they walk past they are getting messages telling where to reconvene and where to target.
We flee the scene as they start to torch other buildings and head to the nearby Argos.
The alarm blares out into the night after another gang had raided the building and made off with DVD players, MP3 players and Satnavs.
Two off-duty officers tried to tackle the yobs, but after a successful first attempt had to flee when a new group charged the store.
All around us was lawlessness with no sign of it abating and the ever-growing cloud of smoke as Reeves Corner burned into the night.
22.36pm: Community leaders have reacted with anger.
Leader of Croydon Council, Councillor Mike Fisher, said: "I am disgusted by the mindless hooliganism displayed by the criminal element that has come to Croydon.
"Businesses that have been around in Croydon for more than 100 years have been destroyed just because these morons think it is all right. The council will do all that it can to assist the police in bringing these people to book. It is simply not acceptable."
Simon Hoar, cabinet member for community safety, said: "It is an absolute disgrace. It has nothing to do with any issues these people have. These are pure common thieves more interested in getting a free telly."
Councillor Clare George-Hilley said: "It's disgusting to see Croydon's historical landmarks burnt to the ground by a bunch of mindless thugs who are hell bent on destroying people's businesses and homes.
"When you see scenes like this it's no wonder half the country want the death penalty reintroduced."
10.00pm: The BBC is reporting that riots are underway in Clapham. Anyone on the scene?
9.59pm: A witness tells the Croydon Guardian that driving past PC World and Comet on Purley Way, she saw gangs "piling in" and looting the stores.
9.20pm: Croydon MP Gavin Barwell has said told the BBC he thinks the riots are "sickening" as he watched pictures of the fire in Reeves Corner.
"I'm absolutely sickened to see this happening in our town and my first thought is for those who own the businesses in that area," he said.
And he said he welcomed news the Prime Minister is returning from his holiday to deal with the crisis.
"I'm very pleased the Prime Minister has taken that decision, it's entirely the right thing to do," he added.
9.13pm: Sadiq Khan has been speaking to the BBC as it showed horrendous aerial footage of Croydon as fire took hold at what is understood to be Reeves Corner.
And the Tooting MP branded the rioting in Croydon "criminality, plain and simple".
He said: "I was shopping in Croydon two days ago and walked past these shops with my wife.
"What has been good is that the police have been out in the streets trying to reassure people."
Black smoke can be seen rising from Croydon as far afield as Sutton.
20.57pm: Croydon Guardian reporter Peter Truman has filed from the scene:
Looters have targeted more businesses in Croydon with a furniture store in Old Palace Road being burgled. Lidl on London Road and Rock Bottom guitar store have also been attacked by thieves.
20.46pm: Croydon Guardian reporter Peter Truman has filed from the scene:
A double decker bus is ablaze near Reeves Corner with a large gathering of youths gathered around watching it burn.
20.30pm: Croydon Guardian reporter Hannah Williamson has filed from the scene:
Looters have raided the Argos store in Church Street.
Thieves broke into the catalogue store by smashing through the back doors in the loading bay.
Evidence of what they have taken litters the area and includes sat navs, portable cd player and camcorders.
The alarm is still ringing as hooded youths try to enter the town centre which police have sealed off.
The Maplin store next to West Croydon station has also been vandalized.
Windows were smashed but the building already had it's shutters down.
19.54pm: Croydon Guardian reporter Peter Truman has filed from the scene:
The streets around West Croydon station are in complete lockdown.
Swarms of youths in hoods and masks are confronting the police from every junction to London Road.
Bricks, bottles and sticks were thrown at the police line, who are armed with batons and riot shields.
Tactical support, in full riot gear, are also on the scene.
The police have set up a sterile zone between the Fox and Hounds pub and North End.
West Croydon station has been shut.
BBC Travel alert is reporting buses across London Road have been stopped and London Tramlink is suspended between Reeves Corner and East Croydon.
One petrified motorist warned drivers to avoid the stretch of London Road leading up to West Croydon station as gangs of marauding youths in balaclavas were attacking cars.
The female motorist was driving to pick her dad up from work to avoid any trouble when she drove past the junction of Sumner Road and London Road.
She said: "Everyone should avoid London Road towards West Croydon station. There were gangs of youths with hoodies and balaclavas trying to open car doors as they went past.
"One gentleman hadn't locked his car and they tried to get in but he managed to drive away.
"Another car crashed as he swerved to avoid another vehicle. It is very dangerous down here and my heart is still thumping from the experience."
Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Kavanagh released this statement: "Our officers are out on duty across, and we have extra resources policing the capital. We will continue with this additional policing for as long as is necessary.
"Let me make it clear that people who are using current events as an excuse or cover to break the law, steal, attack police officers and cause fear to Londoners will not be tolerated by the vast majority of Londoners and us.
"Our investigation, which is massive in scope, is continuing. We are liaising with businesses and communities across London, including at a borough level to keep people up to date with what we are doing.
"I would ask Londoners if you know anything that may help us please get in touch with us via 020 8345 4142."
7.27pm: Croydon Guardian reporter Hannah Williamson has filed from the scene:
Around 200 youths are charging at police, throwing missiles before running away. Two rows of riot police are lining the junction of North End and London road with dangerous scenes unfolding near West Croydon station.
Sticks and pieces of stone and rock have been thrown at police. Youths are continuing to charge at police at the top of Tamworth road.
One teen who gave his name as Jermaine has been told by police he couldn't cross the line to go to his house.
He said: "Some of us are just trying to get home." Police have again moved the line of spectators back as bottles and bricks have started to be thrown.
Breaking news - Croydon Guardian reporter Peter Truman has filed from the scene:
About 100 youths are in a stand off with police as police closed off North End to pedestrians. Some missiles have been thrown at the police line near London Road and youths are taunting officers as they attempt to keep people out of the borough's main shopping area.
6.28pm: Croydon Guardian reporter Peter Truman has filed from the scene:
Officers were quick to diffuse a potential disturbance in the Whitgift centre. About 15 youths in hoodies entered the centre from north end. Police and security from the centre followed and as they did the youths scattered and fled. Police officers gave chase and two boys were stopped and questioned as others made their escape. It is unclear if any arrests were made.
5.25pm: Croydon Guardian reporter Hannah Williamson has filed from the scene:
"Despite various rumours on Twitter of looting in shops and problems on transport, there has been no trouble for the police to deal with.
"Croydon High Street is on lock down as police try to stop the trouble before it starts.
"Most shops are now closed, with the grills in JJB, Debenhams, PC World and Currys firmly down against the windows.
"A few young men have been stopped and searched but it has all been very peaceful.
"Some shoppers are stopping and talking to police, though most are heading home having had their trip cut short."
Meanwhile, Streatham traders have spoken about the rioting in the area last night

4.26pm Croydon Police say they have an "appropriate policing plan" for tonight in the wake of rumours of a planned riot in the town centre.
Detective Superintendent Jo Oakley, Croydon Deputy Borough Commander said: "We are working with our partners and local businesses in Croydon and we have put in place an appropriate policing plan to tackle any disorder and deal with normal policing across the borough as well.
"This kind of mindless criminality will not be tolerated and we would urge communities to join us in condemning the actions of the violent minority and to report information about those responsible to police.
"Any information can be passed anonymously to police via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. "We would also ask the public to report any incidents of criminal activity - however minor - immediately to police by calling 999."
4.20pm Croydon University Hospital has released a statement about its readiness for any disorder.
The statement said: "Croydon Health Services will work with the police and Croydon Council to deal with any situation that arises and minimise any disruption.
"The Trust has robust systems to deal with major emergencies such as these and if necessary can put these into place.
"These measures include possibly drafting in further security staff to ensure our staff and patients are safe."
4.05pm The Metropolitan Police has set up an incident room following the riots over the weekend.
Operation Withern is investigating the disorder and violence in parts of London over the weekend.
Anyone with information should call the Major Investigation Team on 020 8345 4142.
The team is being led by Detective Superintendent John Sweeney, and is made up of detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, specialist investigators from the Public Order Branch and police support staff.
3.50pm Our reporter on the scene Hannah Williamson has said stores in North End are closing early as a precaution.
She reports Pc World, Currys and Topshop have all closed, and JJB looked to be closing.
She added chairs outside Allders had been removed as a precaution and Debenhams had put grills across their windows.
There is a strong police presence with about 50 officers in high visibility in the area.
Our reporter says they have conducted several stop and searches already.
3.30pm Shops in Croydon have been told by the police to be extra vigilant tonight.
A letter has been distributed to stores in the Whitgift Centre.
It advises extra security staff have been drafted in as a precautionary measure.
It is telling store owners in the centre to make sure their properties are fully locked and alarmed tonight.
The centre remains open to the public.
3.30pm The London Chamber of Commerce is advising any Croydon businesses worried about being a target for looting to contact the Metropolitan police.
A spokesman said they did not want to see businesses close if they did not have to but safety was the main priority.
He added the chamber was in dialogue with the police over any new advice.
It comes as shops in Croydon report being tipped off about being a possible target for looters.
The Croydon Guardian has received reports from one store in Purley Way that it could be a target.
The store is reportedly removing its stock from the shop floor and using large stock to barricade doors tonight.
Best Buy in Purley Way was a target for looters last night.
3.05pm A worker at Best Buy in Purley way has described the break-in there last night.
According to the man, about 20 people dressed in hoodies and masks smashed the front door of the store in the early hours of the morning.
A night guard who was patrolling the building spotted the gang and called the police.
It is believed the group were in the store for no more than half an hour.
They made off with some phones but damage to the store was minimal.
2.45pm Croydon's emergency services are discussing how best to deal with any potential trouble today.
The briefing with the Metropolitan Police began at 1pm today and is believed to still be continuing.
Among those present is Inspector Jack Ioannou, who is in charge of British Transport Police operations in Croydon.
He said the BTP would have the "correct" number of resources on hand based on intelligence and advice from the Metropolitan police following the meeting.
Key to any potential operation will be East Croydon station, which sees 60,000 people pass through its barriers a day.
2.35pm We have images coming in of the damage in Croydon last night by what the council described as "opportunistic looters".
Bright House in North End was one of the shops targeted and had its windows smashed.
Do you have any pictures of damage? Send them to pictures@lo

Pathetic, the looting and rioting in Croydon is just an excuse for so called gangs and thugs to join in.
If there were no riots in Tottenham on Saturday we wouldn't have seen these incidents in Croydon.
Just a load of little thugs joining in.

But the only way that they feel brave is to do it in groups...not so brave to do it alone are they?
I bet if each of them where asked individually why they are doing it, they wouldnt have an answer.
It sure makes you proud to be British doest it!

This is not about the government or about jobs etc, this is about a complete lack of respect for people, humanity and the country within which we live.
Regardless of anybody's view of the police, who would want to be in their shoes in their right mind tonight - They have a thankless task, born out of this increasingly disrespectful section of our community.
The comments regarding going in harder I totally support and I would not have any issue with every single one of these idiots being tasar'd until they could not move.
Time to send in the army and to stand up and be counted. Softly, softly just does not work any more, respect is dead.

Small group of idiots who are being organised by a group or groups of people who are taking advantage of this situation. This is more stealing to order than anarchy. Then getting the idiots to burn the shops they rob so no evidence! Why are the police doing nothing and letting it burn!! If this was an anti war match people would have been kettled and contained.
Why do they want them to carry on?! do they want to bring in a new law or say they don't have existing powers! People need to realised police are allowed to contain and hold suspects now, they should use all the existings laws. I know the police are extreamly busy, and must be very tired after the third day. Good luck to them, and I hope they take control of this situtation without going too crazy.
I am scared too!

I doubt that many of these rioters are Muslims, more like people who were born here or have been here many years since they were small kids.
What is needed is a strong response from the courts and prison service. These criminals should be handed long prison sentances and prisons should be a lot tougher than they are.

We have to stop making exscuses for these idiots, i.e police, news storys, government cuts, bad childhood etc etc and have to just realise that there are just bad apples around...they are nasty evil people that need to be STOPPED and dealt with in the most serious way possible, I for one have had enough of hearing all the exscuses for why this is happening, there is NO exscuse, and nobody will convince me otherwise.
Also there seems to be a lot about "where are the police", for gods sake these officers are running around from one end to the other, and while trying to contain the yobs they are also trying to protect firemen, members of public and other police officers...give them a break.

If they want to live like this maybe a three year tour of Helmand Province where they can stand alongside real
men that have respect and balls. Feel very angry at the level of response or lack of from the Police. Gutted for the Reeves brothers, done work for them in the past and to see their business suffer that is sickening.

The only reason these riots are happening is because of the government. The youth have been made to feel as though they are trapped. It is about time they stood up for theirselves. Taking away ema, planning to take away oyster is making the situation worse. It is so hard for decent people to even find a job these days let alone people that have troubled backgrounds!
There are children in many underdeveloped parts of the world who are really "suffering" yet they do not act like a pack of animals!! they humbly do what they need to do!.
So according to some individuals the "poor "kids are being pushed over the top by have their oyster card and other privilages taken away!!!!!! it's incredible that people are so "dumbed down" little clones who cannot think for themselves and only echoe what they have been comnditioned to believe!!!..Incredib

This has nothing to do with anything the government has done. How on earth does burning to the ground businesses and residential properties got anything to do with government.
Stealing things from Primark and Poundland, yeah, the government are scared!
Your as pathetic as the people hiding behind a mask.
Are you honestly calling these decent people? So many people come from a difficult background and do not resort to this behaviour.
You are disgusting for excusing and defending this behaviour, I hope you all those responsible rot in hell and get the s**t kicked out of you on the way down!

So what your saying is that these riots are ok then, because the EMA and oyster cards have been taken away...
Well, EMA was there for students to buy books, pens etc, isnt it funny that we have not seen anyone looting a book store of any kind!!! but we have seen plenty looting electical goods stores and sports stores, so please do let us all know how looting these kind of stores (or any kind) has anything to do with EMA or oyster cards.
Another things the EMA was set in place for hard working students who attended everyday and got good marks...majority of the students did attend everyday, but only to get a signature from the tutor in the morning to say that they had attended and then they would vanish out of the building for all lessons and then return at the end of the day so that they could get another signature, (because without the signature they could not claim the EMA).
So really that was just another money making scheme for some of these so called students, there is no excuse for these yobs whom went on the rampage just for there own gain, just to see what they could get free, its not the fault of the govenment, police, teachers, news headlines and any other excuses some will come out with.
They all need to take responsibility for there actions and pay the consequences.

Fun Friday: Some Library Reading MaterialHumor
March 04, 2011, 06:35 PM
One creative college student solved the problem of what to do if Moaning Myrtle leaves your favorite lavatory reading material soggy. PostSecret featured this image of the entire first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone written on a bathroom wall.
This is the latest installment of Fun Fridays where we will highlight a new, cool, funny, or interesting thing created created by the Harry Potter fan community. This could be anything from a funny spoof on YouTube, a particulary clever cartoon, or something awesome created by our community. If you come across something that fits that description, email us at email@example.com and it may end up on a Fun Friday soon!

PC senior forward Matt Germain and UML freshman Joseph Pendenza each score two goals
Box Score - Text Box - Game Sheet
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's hockey team and UMass Lowell played to a 3-3 overtime tie on Friday, February 25 at Schneider Arena. With the tie, the Friars moved to 7-16-8 overall and 3-14-7 in Hockey East. The River Hawks are now 4-24-3 overall and 3-20-1 in the league. It marked the 11th overtime game for the Friars, setting a school record for most overtime contests.
After a scoreless first period, the two teams netted three goals each in the second period as the game was tied going into the third. Senior Matt Germain (Rockland, Mass.) scored his eighth goal of the season just 27 seconds into the period to give the Friars a 1-0 lead. However, the River Hawks scored three consecutive goals to take a 3-1 edge. David Vallorani evened the score (1-1) at 1:08 when he connected on his 10th goal. Joseph Pendenza then added two goals in a span of 1:21, including a power-play goal at 9:02 as the River Hawks had a two-goal advantage.
The Friars then scored two goals in 58 seconds to even the game. Junior Matt Bergland (Faribault, Minn.) notched his third goal of the season as freshman Rem Vanderbeek (Warren, N.J.) assisted on the play to pick up his first collegiate point at 13:35. Germain then netted the equalizer at 14:27 as junior Andy Balysky (Randolph, N.J.) picked up his second assist of the night. It marked Germain's career-high ninth goal.
The Friars outshot the River Hawks, 42-36, as UML goalie Doug Carr finished with 39 stops. PC netminder Alex Beaudry (Cumberland, Ont.) made 33 saves.
The two teams will complete the weekend home-and-home series Saturday night at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Mass.

Thursday, county inspectors were back at an apartment complex in eastern Henrico investigating complaints about horrible living conditions. They confirm that rats are on the property at Glennwood Farms apartments.
Rat traps surround Carlton Banks' apartment.
"Every night we go to sleep you can hear them in the walls running and scratching to get out," he said.
Banks and his three children are being evicted. He fell short on his rent, but he claims Glennwood Farms apartments fell short fixing problems.
"I was cooking on the stove and the stove just sparked. As I lift the stove up, a rat runs out…I had to basically take my son's bat and clog the hole up…and nothing's been done," he said.
Shirley Rainey says she's seen her share of issues too. A hole in the ceiling formed from water damage, she says, right above a light fixture.
"One morning I came in the kitchen, it was hanging down full of water. So they got the electric and their water hooked up in the same spot," Rainey said.
Then there's the problem upstairs.
"It's a hole where a human being can just walk through. It's in the attic….They told me they were going to seal the hole up. Instead of them doing that, they just sealed the doorway up," she said.
"Do you think they're trying?" we asked.
"No. If they were trying they would have been done it," Rainey answered.
A representative told NBC the apartments are under new management which is working to address the concerns. Gregory Revels, a Henrico County Building Official said there is an open case regarding the "rat problem." In some situations, he said, both residents *and* the apartments were responsible and that the apartments agreed to vacate the units in question.
"You're just moving people in to move them in and their not knowing what they're moving into and the situation that was someone else's is now the person that moves in," Banks said.
No word yet what if any further violations the county found when inspectors returned to the apartments Thursday. Henrico County Public Works also treated water sewers surrounding the apartment complex to get a better hold on the rat problem.

Cartoonist Dan Perkins reflects on 25 years of 'This Modern World'
A veteran of the alt-weekly publishing world, Perkins has a unique perspective on how the industry has changed over the years. "I think the short answer is, alt-weekly cartoonists — and there's maybe a dozen of us working right now — are truly an endangered species. We came into a certain ecosystem and set our own rhythms around that ecosystem," he says. "Obviously, between the financial crash in 2008, and the ongoing influence of the Internet, that's been a more tenuous ground. I'm profoundly grateful to the papers that still run cartoons like mine, but it's an era of entropy. We're all kind of just hanging on. I'm not the only content creator ever to point out the fact that it's tricky to figure out how to make a living online. It's ironic, because [thanks to the Internet], my reach as a cartoonist has never been greater." (His semi-joking advice to young cartoonists: "Marry someone with tenure.")
For his Cartoon Art Museum gig, he'll be sharing the spotlight with a special guest: one of San Francisco's famed Doggie Diner heads. "To me, the Doggie Diner heads represent my San Francisco. They represent the San Francisco of artists and pranksters. I have a real affection for them. Sometimes, when I have a dream sequence and I need to convey something strange and surreal, I'll have a Doggie Diner head say a few words, floating in the background." *

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
City crews have repaired a large water main break that happened in front of the Dollar Floor Store at Jackman and Laskey in west Toledo.
Workers say 9-feet of a 12-inch main burst apart, flooding the surrounding area and at least one store.
Crews had to wait for parts to arrive before beginning repairs of the water main. One lane of Laskey is closed as crews tore up part of the road to start repairs. Workers are currently filling the hole back up.
Workers asked those in the area to drive slow and avoid the area if possible. The surrounding parking lot was reportedly very icy and slick.

text: Wolfgang Puck Governors Ball Recipes Create Your Own Dishes Inspired by the Oscars Governors Ball Menu by Lisette Mejia 2/22/13 2 Reactions 33 Shares Print 3 21 9 0 0 We recently gave you a peek at the menu for the Governors Ball — the official afterparty of the Oscars — prepared by none other than Wolfgang Puck. But if you think you can't get it for your own Oscars party, think again — we've put together easy versions of the dishes you can prepare yourself and even exact recipes of the night that come from Wolfgang's own flagship restaurant. Read on for celeb-worthy meals you can make in your own kitchen. Tuna Tartare What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you can't serve spicy tuna tartare on sesame miso cones, prepare the appetizer on soy-glazed rice crackers instead for a fast, healthy treat. 1 / 15 Twice-Baked Potatoes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Wolfgang Puck's baked potato may be smothered in caviar but treat guests your own way with bacon-topped twice-baked potatoes they can eat sans fork and knife. 2 / 15 Breadsticks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't pass up on the power of an easy-to make, addictive breadstick recipe. Cover the snacks in shaved fresh Parmesan and truffles to get the taste of Wolfgang's version. 3 / 15 Smoked Salmon Crostini What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Wolfgang Puck's most iconic Governors Ball recipe comes in the form of blinis with smoked salmon — make your own mark by serving fresh smoked salmon and goat cheese crostinis. 4 / 15 Bacon-Wrapped Dates What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bacon-wrapped dates, like the ones to be served on the big night, can be prepared before the party so guests can enjoy the salty-sweet snack the second they arrive at your home. 6 / 15 Nut Mix What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hollywood guests will be munching on a tropical party nut mix spiced with pineapple, and your guests can, too. Just follow this easy tiki snack mix and expect a Polynesian party for the mouth. 6 / 15 Guacamole Leave it to Wolfgang to offer up edamame guacamole on chips made with kombu, a Japanese seaweed — but if you don't have the time or resources to do that yourself, you can never go wrong serving some good ol' delicious guacamole and chips, like this spicy recipe straight from Chipotle Mexican Grill. 7 / 15 Kale Salad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The ever-popular kale has made it onto the Hollywood menu in form of a vegan salad tossed with grilled artichokes and a lemon vinaigrette; put a twist on your own kale and chard salad by topping it with pomegranates and hazelnuts. 8 / 15 Truffle Mac and Cheese Comfort food meets Hollywood with Wolfgang's truffle mac and cheese vegetarian dish, and we've got a similar dish that takes the favorite to a whole new level. Check out the video for this velvety stove-top version that includes three types of cheese and truffle butte. 9 / 15 Chicken Pot Pie The Oscar party's chicken pot pie version may have Oscar-shaped stenciling and black truffle filling, but we've got a savory recipe courtesy of POPSUGAR Food host Brandi Milloy's grandma. Watch the video to learn how to make everything from the creamy chicken filling to the golden, flaky pie crust in just under an hour. 11 / 15 Sliders Copy the Wolfgang menu by serving up a crowd favorite: sliders. Make mini versions of this easy traditional cheeseburger recipe for a fail-proof appetizer. Source: Thinkstock 11 / 15 Sushi What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Create your own sushi station à la Wolfgang with this vegetable sushi roll that uses two secret ingredients that pack plenty of flavor. 12 / 15 Wolfgang Puck's Smoked Salmon Pizza Smoked salmon pizza is a famous dish from Spago, Wolfgang Puck's flagship restaurant, so it's no surprise that the dish will be served on Sunday night. Taste it yourself by getting the recipe low-down from Tetsu Yahagi, chef de cuisine at the restaurant, who shows us in this video how to take the luxurious pizza from restaurant grade to homemade. 13 / 15 Champagne Cocktails What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Champagne Thienot is the official sparkling wine of Sunday's celebration, and we can't help but think of plenty of champagne cocktail recipes, like a grapefruit-elderflower sparkler, to bring on the bubbly. 14 / 15 Granita What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Guests at the Hollywood dessert table can expect shaved ice with frozen grapes. Treat your friends and family to an unexpected ginger limeade granita sweet and bring the sunshine indoors. 15 / 15 3 21 9 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Award SeasonOscarsParty PlanningRecipes recipes Your Search For the Perfect Cherry Pie Is Over 12 hours ago Beyond Spaghetti: 10 Things to Do With Pesto 13 hours ago The Easiest Ice Cream Cake You'll Ever Make 14 hours ago Our Take on Bubba Gump's Dumb Luck Coconut Shrimp 1 day ago 10 DIY Snacks For the Road (and 10 Alternatives For on the Run) 1 day ago Green Goddess Dressing Doubles as a Dreamy Dip 1 day ago party planning Don't Make This Sparkling Blueberry Mojito If You Hate Compliments 1 day ago The Art of the Cocktail Garnish 2 days ago A Mediterranean Feast Fit For Greek Gods 5 days ago We'll Have a Long Island . . .

It began with a 90-minute rain delay and ended not long before midnight with rain still falling, but nobody in Oakland was complaining as the A's tied the Angels in the ninth inning and beat them in the 10th on Mark Ellis's full-count grounder that scored Kurt Suzuki from third base, giving the A's a 5-4 victory.
The 10th was set up by the ninth, which included a two-out rally against Orange County flame-thrower Jordan Walden. Ryan Sweeney led off the inning and struck out swinging. Cliff Pennington flied out, and Walden was just one out away from his eighth save since taking over as closer from Fernando Rodney. But Coco Crisp singled, and -- with Daric Barton, not a real power threat, at the plate -- promptly stole second base. And Crisp scored easily when Barton drove a long single into right-center field. Walden struck out Josh Willingham, and the few remaining fans settled into their seats for some free baseball.
In the top of the 10th, Grant Balfour gave up a single to Alberto Callaspo, but Callaspo died on first base as Balfour struck out the other three Angels he faced, all swinging.
In the bottom of the 10th, Rodney came in for the Angels. He started off well, striking out Hideki Matsui with his patented palm ball. But then Kurt Suzuki walked, so did Conor Jackson, and both moved up a base when Rodney's high fastball escaped catcher Bobby Wilson.
With the winning run on third base and just one out, Orange County manager Mike Scioscia deployed his five-man infield, which was easy enough since erstwhile second baseman Howie Kendrick had been playing left field. With three infielders to the left of second base, and Kendrick and first baseman Mark Trumbo on the other side, Mark Ellis stayed alive and ran the count full. Afterward, Ellis said, "I thought for sure he'd throw that palm-ball right there ... You figured he'd go with his best pitch right there. But he threw a fastball, and I was just trying to hit the ball up the middle."
He didn't, quite. But he chopped one to Kendrick, who threw home high, and the leaping Wilson couldn't return to earth soon enough to tag the sliding Suzuki, who scored the winner.
With their win, Oakland's just a game behind the first-place Rangers and a half-game behind the Angels.

A Jet Fan's Thoughts on Randy Moss
I find it funny that Randy received all that negative press recently. Yeah he's selfish in many regards. As a person, he may or may not be likable. But here's the bottom line: He's reliable!
John Abraham has now screwed his team 3 times during postseason games by not playing. He's been cleared by doctors LAST WEEK, yet will not play again this week. And his reason? He doesn't want to risk his future FA contract this offseason. This is 10 times worse than leaving the field early or mooning a few sh*t talking fans.
For all his antics, Randy still plays the game, healthy or not. He could barely walk, yet was kind enough to toast Al Harris for a TD. Like him or not, Randy plays hurt. And whether or not he practices, he will play Sunday, guaranteed.
I think theres something to be said about that....
Your thoughts?

A Jet Fan's Thoughts on Randy Moss
Gotta agree, he does things to piss me off all the time, but he can play the game (sometimes when he wants to)!What we've got here is failure to communicate.
A Jet Fan's Thoughts on Randy Moss
I could care less about his antics, as long as he is catching TD's. Now, I do not want him to do something utterly stupid (throw a chair at a fan).But, knowing what Randy does for kids and charity, I do not have any problems with the occasional comments or fake moon.

A Jet Fan's Thoughts on Randy Moss
I don't care WHAT Moss does, as long as he doesn't hurt someone (unlike those THUGS in the NBA). Whether he moons someone, or does the moonwalk, or WHATEVER - bottom line is he gets the job done, and that's that...PPO Ambassador, Defender of the Purple Faith and Guardian of the Gates of Valhalla
A Jet Fan's Thoughts on Randy Moss
A fake moon-job is not even comparable to some of the things other athletes do on and off the field. Randy comes to play every game and when he does score, he either leaps, gives the ball to a physically handicapped kid or hands it to the ref. However, the one time he fake moons the Lambeau crowd after scoring the game winning TD is the one that gets the most press. In the words of Stewart Scott..let the players play and the haters hate, I guess.

John Abraham won't be able to get on a decent team that doesn't desperately need him since he seems to have no passion for football at all.
A Jet Fan's Thoughts on Randy Moss
I agree. The media needs to stop the attack on him. They pick at him for every move he makes because he doesn't pay as much attention to the media as some other players.
Lets face it though, the media S*CKS. Did anyone else see Randy Johnson trying to apologize to the guy who's camera he shoved down? He gave an apology, but then asked the guy if he (randy johnson) asked for no interviews/pictures until a designated time. Then the jerk reporter continued to say stuff like "no you never said that, I just remember you pushing my camera man" or something to that sense. C'mon, Johnson admitted his offense and apologized, the least you could do is state that you were wrong also. To make it even worse, when they returned to the ESPN studio after that segment the ESPN guys backed up the camera man and said that Johnson did not give a good enough apology. They didn't even mention the pushy reporter out to get a story when he is not supposed to be there. What an @$$
And THAT my friend is my rant of the day...[img:2264cdc124]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/ultravikingfan/vikesklein.jpg[/img:2264cdc124]

Officers responded to the scene near the Maryland State Police Barrack. Preliminary investigation showed an SUV heading westbound on 50 crossed the median entered the eastbound lanes, hitting two vehicles head-on.
One of the vehicles traveling eastbound left the roadway and overturned. A fourth vehicle attempted to avoid the accident and also left the roadway.
Three people were transported to local hospitals, where two were released with minor injuries, and onewas listed in stable condition. The Investigation is continuing.

We do a lot of work for other production companies, so we often must use what they provide for us. Since our background involves a lot of work with the Folsom and Barco line, quite afew of our jobs involve Encore, ScreenPro II, and ScreenPro Plus screen switching systems.
I prefer the Encore to other switching systems because of the architecture of the system. It's hardware-based, not reliant on Windows software to control the show, unlike some other systems.System reliability is a huge factor onsite. Since we do a lot of widescreen and multi-screen projection switching, it ishelpful to be able to use the ScreenPro II, PresentationPro II, and ImagePro scalers in one system with the Encore video processors.Also, I get great customer support from Barco…They treat my company like a large company, even though we aren't the biggest player in the industry.
As for projectors, we use both the Barco and Christie lines. Both have excellent images, and since most of our work is in HD, image quality is paramount. They both are easy to use, easy to network, and very reliable. I prefer the lens optics from Barco slightly over the Christie lenses. Fiber optic DVI cables are critical for signal runs from the switcher to the projectors. Analog is just not able to give the sharp, crisp images that our clients demand.
Screens — can't beat a Stewart, but they are pricey. If the client has a tight budget but still wants to do large-scale or widescreen projection, I steer them to The Screen Works in Chicago. They have great screen surfaces, but I do wish they would get rid of the steel safety cables and go to bungee cords to connect the surface to the truss surrounds.

For my current touring production, Welcome to Nowhere, I am using a Dell DLP projector shot onto a raw wood (luan plywood) screen. It works wonders for the video quality, adding a natural grainy texture that is unnoticeable under the saturated stage lighting. The rich blacks in the DLP projector work well with the surface texture to create a film-like quality in the image.
All of my programming and playbackon this projection is performed on Mark Coniglio's Isadora software on a MacBook Pro. Isadora is the most versatile and expandable video programming environment available. It's more flexible than Watchout, more navigable than Catalyst, and much more effective than Jitter in achieving a variety of adjustable stage projections. I've used the software since 2005 on such productions as Dead City at 3-Legged Dog, The Clean House, and The Coast of Utopia, both at Lincoln Center Theatre.
Welcome to Nowhere premiered at The Chocolate Factory in Long Island City, NY in Fall 2007, performed at PS 122 in February, in Maubeuge, France in March, and in Paris in April.

I was recently appointed as the production designer for Junior Eurovision 2008, to take place in Lemesos, Cyprus in November. I am toward the final stages of the design, and although it has not yet been fully approved, I can disclose that we plan to have a 36x8m high back projection screen in the form of a cyclorama. We plan to use five projectors to be supplied and operated by Procon Event Engineering. We are using back projection because I have found from past experience that the quality of the image on TV is good. Good quality LED screens like Barco's ILite are probably better, but the cost of renting such a vast area of Barco tiles would have been astronomical. To avoid any unwanted light falling on the screens, they will be set at a minimum distance of 10m from the center of the stage.
— George Papadopoulos (RIBA),
Architect and set designer, Skinotechniki
What we find most important using video projection is to introduce video on any stage and with any budget. We use Eiki LC-XT4 LCD XGA (12,000 ANSI lumens) and LC-X6A (6,500 ANSI lumens) video projectors; Stumpfl rear projection screens; Gerriets front/rear projection screens; Edirol V-4 video mixers; Numark video display monitors; a MacBook Pro with Arkaos VJ software; and Panasonic AG-HVX200 cameras. I think that video projection is changing the way of designing a stage…adding more multimedia to the stage helps it be more diverse within the same show.

For Sheryl Crow's tour, I have six Mole Richardson 10kWs retrofitted with Barco LED OLite panels that are fed from a PRG Mbox media server. I send colors and fades to the lights at the beginning of the set and work up to video clips toward the end of the set — Retro Modern Steam Sci-Fi!
— Paul Guthrie, lighting/projection designer
Sheryl Crow Tour 2008
For a corporate presentation in the Anaheim Hilton ballroom, I designed a show using 14 Panasonic PT-D7700 boxes projecting onto two 140'. long curved screens. The screens were actually made of 18'-high panels of natural muslin fabric, ground supported on pipe and base, and stretched as tightly as possible to avoid wrinkles and "smiles." Fourteen Dataton Watchout units drove the content and allowed us to create seamless panoramas and correct for the 90° curve in each screen. The projectors were flown from a ceiling truss rig.
The muslin was used strictly for budget purposes and to work within time constraints: using the telescoping pipes and bases allowed for a very fast installation. If the budget had allowed, I would have preferred bleached white muslin (and for that matter, brighter projectors), but with 14 7,700-lumen projectors and careful control of house and ambient lighting, we had more than enough punch.

Cheap Travel for Full Time Mature Students
Our objective is to fight against the current age discrimination shown towards students who are in full-time study over the age of 25 by Lothian Buses.

This was a great multi-tool until a recent occasion when I went to remove one of the heads and the nut holding the attachment became completely stripped, now preventing me from removing the piece. To say I'm pissed is an understatement, esp. since I've probably used this tool only 3-4 times in the two years I've owned it, and didn't overtighen the hex bolt, which means Craftsmen used grossly inferior quality metal on the hex bolt.

Needed a tool like this to cut into a kitchen cabinet and drywall to place an old work electrical box. Sure didn't want a corded tool. This works great. Plenty of power and decent battery life. Added bonus, the battery can work with other tools in the Nextec series.

Bought this on a whim because I already have other nextec tools and am working to complete the set. I have used it for sanding difficult to reach corners on a table that I'm refinishing, and cutting into drywall to replace a backsplash. I've been very happy with this tool.

I have the corded version of this tool and when I saw this cordless on sale I bought two, one for my son and for me. I have used it to cut the plastic grid from a garage door window, trim the bottom of door jams and cut the tips from screws that were sticking down under my counter tops when I installed my new dishwasher. The uses are unlimited and the quick release (although a little wonky) is much better than the allen head bolt on the corded version.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Getting where you're going this weekend could be tricky.
A winter storm is bearing down on central Illinois, just in time for the start of a peak holiday travel period.
"When motorists are taking off for the weekend they need to plan ahead," said Trooper Dustin Pierce of the Illinois State Police. "Check the roads, not only in this area and in Illinois, but check their destinations where they're going."
They can do that on-line.
The Illinois Department of Transportation provides updated road conditions at www.gettingaroundpeoria.com and www.gettingaroundillinois.com.
"You can see interstate conditions throughout the state," explained IDOT spokesman Brian Williamsen, "and you can also call us at 800-452-IDOT."
At the IDOT Communications Center in downtown Peoria technicians monitor road conditions 'round the clock.
More snow on the way means there will also be extra traffic in the form of snow plows.
"We'd like to make sure people know that you're supposed to give them plenty of room," said Williamsen. "Stay back from them. Don't pass the plows, just let them do what they're supposed to do and they're going to get the roads clear for you."
But clear roads are no guarantee smooth sailing at the airport. Weather elsewhere can delay incoming flights. That's why Peoria's director of airports encourages passengers to sign up for the automatic notifications offered by their carrier.
"Some offer text messaging, some offer e-mail," said Gene Olson. "You want to sign up for those because then if there is a problem on your flight you'll get notified."
Or if you prefer to call, Olson suggests contacting the airline and not the airport.
