Missing Man's Family Hopes for National AttentionBy: CJ Cassidy
CHARLESTON, Mo. - The family of a missing Charleston man says they're hoping to get some national attention.
Tony Woodworth, 36, disappeared nine months ago.
Woodworth's family members say they've contacted John Walsh, the host of "America's Most Wanted." They say producers of the show say they'll look into the possibilities.
That's great news for this family who says they just don't know what else to do.
"I think someone killed him," Tony's sister, Teresa said.
Nine months after Woodworth's mysterious disappearance she and her mom don't know what else to believe.
Annie Black's T-shirt showcases a photograph of her and her son. Tony might be gone, but she says he's never far from her thoughts.
"Something's happened to my son and I know it," she said.
That's why she and her family now hope getting some national attention will bring them some answers.
"I want to know why hasn't these police found my son? If you're somebody like my son, been in trouble with the law, in jail in prison, that's just another person off the street to them," she said.
When I stopped by the Charleston Police station, I was told Chief Robert Hearnes was on vacation.
When I spoke with him last October, Hearnes said he was sending out Woodworth's information to police departments across the country.
"We want them to look for him because he's missing," he said at the time.
Hearnes also said foul play is a possibility but he couldn't track Woodworth because he didn't have a credit card or cell phone.
Back at the Woodworth home, the family huddles together on the front porch, hoping they can someday move past the sadness that surrounds them now.
"We just need closure. Bring him home and let our minds at rest. We get no rest now," Teresa said.
She also says the family spent most of the $2000 they offered before as reward money on their search for her brother.
If you have any information you think might help, please call the police nearest you.

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do
Standard Error
Explanations > Social Research > Statistical principles > Standard Error
Description | Example | Discussion | See also
If you measure a sample from a wider population, then the average (or mean) of the sample will be an approximation of the population mean. But how accurate is this?
If you measure multiple samples, their means will not all be the same, and will be spread out in a distribution (although not as much as the population). Due to the central limit theorem, the means will be spread in an approximately Normal, bell-shaped distribution.
The standard error, or standard error of the mean, of multiple samples is the standard deviation of the sample means, and thus gives a measure of their spread. Thus 68% of all sample means will be within one standard error of the population mean (and 95% within two standard errors).
What the standard error gives in particular is an indication of the likely accuracy of the sample mean as compared with the population mean. The smaller the standard error, the less the spread and the more likely it is that any sample mean is close to the population mean. A small standard error is thus a Good Thing.
When there are fewer samples, or even one, then the standard error, (typically denoted by SE or SEM) can be estimated as the standard deviation of the sample (a set of measures of x), divided by the square root of the sample size (n):
SE = stdev(xi) / sqrt(n)
This shows four samples of increasing size. Note how the standard error reduces with increasing sample size.
The standard error gives a measure of how well a sample represents the population. When the sample is representative, the standard error will be small.
The division by the square root of the sample size is a reflection of the speed with which an increasing sample size gives an improved representation of the population, as in the example above.
An approximation of confidence intervals can be made using the mean +/- standard errors. Thus, in the above example, in Sample 4 there is a 95% chance that the population mean is within +/- 1.4 (=2*0.70) of the mean (4.78).
Graphs that show sample means may have the standard error highlighted by an 'I' bar (sometimes called an error bar) going up and down from the mean, thus indicating the spread, for example as below:

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Journey through Normandy's fertile dairy country toward the Bay of Mont Saint Michel, which is known for its spectacular tidal variance. Upon arriving on the rocky island of Mont Saint Michel, you will discover its history as a holy place of worship, beginning in the Middle Ages when the region's bishop dreamed that the Archangel Saint Michel appeared before him.
Here, in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Mont Saint Michel, you will journey uphill through the winding cobblestone walkways, passing centuries-old houses. Your destination is the top of the rock, crowned by the Abbey Church. There are at least 365 steps to the top, but it's well worth the journey. With its glorious spire soaring more than 500 feet in the air, the Abbey is a masterpiece of Norman architecture.
Inside you'll discover much about the monks' daily lives by visiting their dining hall and the beautiful Gothic cloister, which appears to be suspended between sky and sea. After the guided portion of the tour, you will have free time in the charming village of Mont Saint Michel to explore the labyrinthine passageways, old houses and shops.
Lunch with wine will be served at a restaurant offering a panoramic view of the Mont Saint Michel Abbey.
Important Note: Guests must be able to walk approximately 1 mile over even and cobblestone surfaces with 365 steps to reach the Abbey. Driving time from Le Havre to Mont St. Michel is 3 hours each way, dependent upon traffic conditions. A strict dress code is enforced in the Abbey Church. Short pants and tank tops are not acceptable. Flash photography is also not permitted inside the Abbey.

Ahhhh, the joys of summer vacation! But the summer vacation to Europe is out of reach for your budget. Maybe you haven't considered some of the following ideas about how and where to stay, for affordable European vacations.
Most Inexpensive European Cities
One way to save money vacationing in Europe this summer is to choose a relatively inexpensive City. Look for packages from the U.S. to cities like Prague, Budapest and Vienna, and travel in September or October when kids are back in school and rates are lowest. Look for all-inclusive packages which include airfare, lodging and daily breakfast. ?Brussels Airlines has started offering nonstop flights between New York and Belgium's capital city, and round trip airfare costs just under $800 per person. Once you're in Brussels, enjoy some of the best high-end luxury hotels for the best prices.
If you're already in Europe and looking for a short weekend away, Dublin is another city with affordable travel packages for two. Once you're in Ireland, you can enjoy a variety of free cultural and historic attractions such as the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the National Botanic Gardens.
Affordable European Vacations: Home Swapping
Have you considered a non-traditional way of taking a European or U.S. vacation? You won't just save money compared to staying in hotels, you will experience life as a local and leave the tourist traps behind. ?Check out one of the well-established home swapping sites like HomeLink International, Home Base Holidays, Swap My City Pad, or Intervac Home Exchange. Home swaps can be made for as little as several weeks to as long as a year, and are a great way to plan affordable European vacations. Annual membership fees usually apply to home swapping sites, which give you access to listings and allows you to create a profile to list your own home online. ?Talk to someone who has used the home swapping site you are considering and find out what their experience was like.

Shove off, Edward Cullen. Go drink some synthetic blood, Anna Paquin's boyfriend. I've never seen "Dark Shadows," but with a name like Barnabas Collins, I feel confident in saying, take a hike, Barney.
Colin Farrell is officially the most smokin' (and psychotic) vampire EVER. He also proves once and for all that being scary isn't about being loud and screechy; it's about smoldering.
"Fright Night" is the billionth remake this summer; the original being a 1985 cult classic starring Prince Humperdinck – I mean – Chris Sarandon, as "Jerry," the vampire. And it wasn't one I was particularly thrilled to see. Cheesy horror movie? Pass.
The story follows Las Vegas high school dweeb turned Big Man on Campus Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin), who, upon the insistence of a recently castoff friend, Ed, begins to suspect that his new neighbor, Jerry, may be a bloodthirsty demon. Charley laughs off his one-time best-bro, and the decision proves to be one with lasting consequences.
Shaken, Charley comes home to find Jerry waiting for him. Can he borrow a six-pack? The beer hand-off becomes a test of sorts, and as the evening progresses, the teen begins to give a little more thought to Ed's theories and vampire lore in general.
Proof: 1. No reflection. Ok, that's a pretty good one. 2. Only comes out at night. Hm. It is Vegas. 3. Super hot. Makes total sense to me.
Convinced of Jerry's deadliness, Charley vows to protect his mom (Toni Collette) and teenage dream girlfriend, Amy (Imogen Poots – her real name) from the predator and recruits mystical magician and performer Peter Vincent in the process. Aside from Farrell's blood-chilling turn as the ancient vampire, David Tennant steals the show as the duplicitous Vincent.
Tennant's cheeky camp was a perfect example and what makes this movie tick: Humor. YES. Who knew? "Fright Night" is much less a scream-a-minute slasher film, and much more a smart, tongue-in-cheek, popcorn romp that knows when to freak you out and when to make you giggle.
All in all, a delightful way to spend a Saturday night.
Catch it at the in Northampton Crossings in 3-D at 1:50 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m. or 10:35 p.m.

We asked Brenda O'Brien and Denise Murray to recommend some great scary books for adults. Just in time for Halloween, they shared their picks and a bit of commentary as well:
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
Written as if it was real. Sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always hard to put down. This is the only book that's ever given me nightmares. It's meant to be funny but when you read it, you'll start seeing just how vulnerable you are. It's really fun to scare yourself and others with that.
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
The audio version is great.
The Strain by Guillermo del Toro
First book in a trilogy about a vampire virus and the people who try to fight it. These vampires are scary and dangerous, not pretty and friendly like some are these days.
Fragile Things and Smoke & Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
Both are short story collections with plenty of spooky stories perfect for the season.
Horns by Joe Hill
A man wakes up with horns and the devilish powers to go with them.
The Walking Dead graphic novels by Robert Kirkman
Great, gory, scary reads that are perfect for reading in chunks or holing up somewhere safe and digesting them all. They're the basis of the TV series.
13 Bullets by David Wellington
First in a series. All the suspense and horror of a great scary movie but with likable characters and a realistic setting.

The Legend of La Befana:
In Italy, the legend of La Befana is one that is popularly told around the time of the Epiphany. What does a Catholic holiday have to do with modern Paganism? Well, La Befana happens to be a witch.
According to folklore, on the night before the feast of the Epiphany in early January, Befana flies around on her broom, delivering gifts. Much like Santa Claus, she leaves candy, fruit, or small gifts in the stockings of children who are well-behaved throughout the year. On the other hand, if a child is naughty, he or she can expect to find a lump of coal left behind by La Befana.
La Befana's broom is for more than just practical transportation - she also will tidy up a messy house, and sweep the floors before she departs for her next stop. This is probably a good thing, since Befana gets a bit sooty from coming down chimneys, and it's only polite to clean up after oneself. She may wrap up her visit by indulging in the glass of wine or plate of food left by parents as thanks.
So, where did La Befana come from? How did a kindly old witch become associated with the celebration of the Epiphany? Many of the stories behind La Befana involve a woman who is searching but unable to find the newborn infant Jesus.
In some Christian legends, it is said that Befana had been visited by the three Magi, or wise men, on their way to visit the baby Jesus. It's said that they asked her for directions, but Befana wasn't sure how to find the newborn infant. However, being a good housekeeper, she invited them to spend the night in her tidy little home. When the Magi left the next morning, they invited Befana to join them in their quest. Befana declined, saying she had too much housework to do, but later she changed her mind. She tried to find the wise men and the new baby, but was unable to, so she now flies around on her broom delivering gifts to children. Perhaps she is still searching for the infant Jesus.
In other tales, La Befana is a woman whose children have died in a great plague, and she follows the wise men to Bethlehem. Before leaving her house, she packs up some simple gifts - a doll that belonged to one of her children, and a robe sewn from her own wedding dress. These plain gifts are all she has to give to the infant Jesus, but she is unable to locate him. Today, she flies around delivering gifts to other children in hopes of finding him.
Some scholars believe that the story of La Befana actually has pre-Christian origins. The tradition of leaving or exchanging gifts may relate to an early Roman custom that takes place in midwinter, around the time of Saturnalia. Befana may also represent the passing of the old year, with the image of an old woman, to be replaced by a new year.
Today many Italians, including those who follow the practice of Stregheria, celebrate a festival in La Befana's honor.

I've gotten to the point on this blog, where I really don't care what any of you say, when I come up with an idea. I've seen countless times, where people post their ideas and a lot of you fans, insult me, and fellow Rams fans. I remember a long time ago, the staff here on Turf Show Times, made a point to all of you, to show a little bit more respect to fellow fans. So before you go insulting my thought process, think about what your saying, be mature and rational with your comments.
Now that I've gotten that off of my chest, I'd like to share one of my pointless thoughts that have no effect on what our staff does this offseason, but I am a Madden buff, and my favorite part of Madden is the offseason. But really, It doesn't matter who our coaches are, have we not learned that drafting offensive linemen has done us no good? The last good offensive linemen drafted was Orlando Pace, he's gone now. Jason Smith was an failed attempt as well, lets hope he turns it around. What I'm trying to get at, is I'm a little tired of everyone thinking we need to build a good offensive line to be a better team. I happen to disagree. I personally think we are wasting draft picks on them. Our defensive line is fine, we'll pick up some good defensive linemen with Jeff Fisher as head coach anyways. So I'm thinking position players are WHAT we SHOULD be drafting personally.
Have we ever thought that maybe it's time we take a little pressure off of those guys? You don't think they don't hear about it? They can try and ignore it, but they are probably as tired as I am of hearing that. How about a little bit more faith in the guys we have on the offensive line? We can't just keep drafting different offensive linemen and expect them to be a good o-line. Lets draft some playmakers in the FIRST round, not the 2nd and beyond. You can't expect our offensive line to be good, when all we did was make Steven Jackson run the ball. We get playmakers and I guarantee you it takes some pressure off of those offensive linemen. Then they won't be worn out because of an all out blitz to stop Jackson every damn play. Lets give Smith one last try, and hell lets give Barnes a shot at center. I trust our new staff! They know what they are doing, after all who's getting paid millions to make these decisions? Not any of us.

PASCO, Wash. -You may know them as Goatheads or Puncturevine. The thorns get into car and bike tires, shoes, and the plants spread like crazy.
The Franklin County Noxious Weed Control Board is organizing the Great American Tackweed Pull. Volunteers will meet at Chiawana Park July 13, a week from Saturday, break into groups, and then walk the trails and start yanking.
"The best thing is persistence in pulling it," says Robin Kusske at the Franklin County Noxious Weed Control Board. "You can pull one weed a day and get rid of anywhere from 200 to 5,000 seeds."
Homeowners also fight the Tribulus terrestris. Kusske says pre-emergent weed killers can help prevent the seeds from germinating, and grass and other ground covers will eventually squeeze out tackweed. But she says you've got to be persistent until you've scooped up all those thorns, which can live up to eight years.

When Bianchi made cars and trucks
Seventy-five percent of my book is now written. A pesky 25 percent is still brewing. The book's first chapter goes through the copy-editing mill next week, via a copy-editor with an interesting history of his own (more on that later). The 65,000-word cycles-begat-automobiles chapter went out for peer review last week. So far, two professors have got back to me: both said "Wow!"
In that book-length "chapter" I list 64 motor car brands with bicycle beginnings, including Chevrolet, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, and GMC. Perhaps just as little known is the fact that Bianchi, one of the world's top bicycle brands, used to make cars and trucks. Below, there's an extract from the book, complete with notes. The book is a breezy read but, under the surface, it's robustly academic. The cycles-begat-automobiles chapter has more than 600 notes, including references to all the sources referred to.
Kickstarter backers will get the book first and it'll then go on general sale, in all the usual formats. All of the text will also be published on this website, via an ad-supported PDF. Sign-up for publication notification updates in the box on the right.
Autobianchi, an Italian motor car manufacturer, was created in 1955 by Fiat, Pirelli and Bianchi.[1] F.I.V. Edoardo Bianchi S.p.A was founded in Milan, in 1885, as a bicycle manufacturer.[2] Company founder Edoardo Bianchi died in a car smash in 1964. From the early 1900s to 1939, Bianchi built motor cars and trucks.[3] A 1917 advert for "The Italian Bianchi" placed by the company's London agent said Bianchi was "The Car of the Connoisseur." In 1927, Bianchi was Italy's second biggest car manufacturer (Fiat was first). Pope Pius XI was driven in a Bianchi.[4]
Bianchi cars (and motorbikes) were raced by Grand Prix legend Tazio Nuvolari. Ferdinand Porsche called Nuvolari the "greatest driver of the past, the present, and the future." Il Mantovano Volante, The Flying Mantuan, won his first automobile race in a Bianchi, later driving for Ferrari, and Alfa Romeo, which also has a bicycling back-story.[5] Nuvolari was inspired to become a racing driver thanks to his uncle, Giuseppe Nuvolari, a bicycle racer, several times winner of the Italian national track championships. Nuvolari's father was also a top cycle racer but it was his uncle who taught him to ride a motorcycle.[6] Bianchi's involvement with motor-sport had followed the company's earlier successes in cycle racing. Bianchi's first sponsored racer was Giovanni Tommaselli, winner, in 1899, of the prestigious Paris Grand Prix, considered, at the time, the European road cycling championships.
Famously, Bianchi sponsored Fausto Coppi, the Campionissimo, Champion of Champions, the first rider to win the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia double, achieving this in 1949, repeating the feat in 1952.
Bianchi is still one of the world's top cycling brands, famous for its "celeste" turquoise. Picasso had a Bianchi bicycle in his studio in Vallauris, France. He described his bicycle as "one of the most beautiful and purest sculptures in the history of art."[7]
[1] The Bianchi family had a 33 percent share in the business.
[2] And maker of surgical instruments and other products.
[3] Bianchi's first shop was at No 7 Via Nirona. Five years later, success required a move to bigger premises on Via Borghetto. In 1895, via royal decree 969, King Umberto I made Bianchi an Official Supplier by Appointment to the Royal Court. In 1897, Bianchi attached De Dion engine to a tricycle. The company's first motorbike was made commercially available in 1901. In 1989, the Autobianchi brand was rolled into Lancia but was marketed in Italy as Autobianchi until 1996.
[4] Pope Pius XI got his Bianchi in 1926. Pope Pius XI was the good pope, the pope before Pius XII, the Nazi-apologist.
[5] Nuvolari won his first motor car race at the Circuito Golfo del Tigullio in 1924, driving a two-litre Bianchi. In 1926, he raced only on motorcycles, riding a Bianchi 350, the legendary "Freccia Celeste" (turquoise arrow). Alfa Romeo was formed with the help of bicycle maker Alexandre Darracq of France. In 1909, Società Anonima Italiana Darracq became Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, or ALFA.

iPad Memory Management
As an avid iPad user traveling around, I've found myself shunting the laptop more and more whilst importing pictures and video straight onto the iPad through the camera connection kit. Now, before we get into it, I'll tell you a bit about myself. I'm a bit if a digital hoarder, I keep all the pictures, Need all the music, and "must have" as many podcasts as possible. Which would be fine if I hadn't purchased a 16gb new iPad...
So, incredibly quickly I found myself hitting the ceiling. Out if space. After a small amount of digging around through menus, prioritizing and uninstalling unused apps, I put this short list of tips and tricks together for memory management.
1. Make use of the 'usage' box
The very first thing you should do is take advantage of this handy little feature. Buried under a confusing name in the 'general' part of settings, is a section which breaks down which apps are using the largest amount of that all too valuable resource called memory. Even better, a quick press on the app in question will show you whether it's the app or the content created or stored within the app is he culprit for the memory use.
2. Stop hoarding.
An addiction that I'm guilty of, turned out to be easier to shake then expected. I suggest starting with pictures, if you want, backup first on your computer (but if you really want to shake that habit, put it all on the line!) and just go and start deleting images that don't make you go 'woah!'. You want pictures that really shine, keep the ones that you'd be happy to post to Flickr, pictures that would get invited to a whole bunch of rubbish spam,y groups. On my first shot, I cut down 200 (of 700) pictures, on the second, another hundred, finally cutting it in half to around 330 pictures. Another thing you want to avoid is similar images, such as these four, sure, they vary slightly, but really, you want to at least cut them down to two. You don't need four pictures of a train crossing a bridge.
Do the same for music.
Go through either the 'songs' or 'albums' section of your music library, and delete all the rubbish that you haven't listened too in ages or is just plane embarrassing (goodby, Glee, I don't remember downloading you, but your sure as heck not staying here).
3. Watch those browsers
Whilst the browsers are normally using minimal space (a few hundred MB max) you may as well. You never know when your browser has cached an obscure website like 'smartfridgeblog.com' and is chewing up all those bytes. If your on edge to squeeze that tiny bit more out of your storage, go to Spanner > Settings in chrome, or if your (insane and) using safari, delete it though the safari section of settings.
So, what do you guys have in your storage-managing arsenal?

A Huntsville community group is taking a stand Wednesday night against a proposed Walmart Super center. Residents said they don't want a new store in their neighborhood and are worried about traffic, noise and crime.
In the proposed plan, a developer will lease the Mason Plaza shopping center property to Walmart.
Members of the Midtown Huntsville Association will hold a community meeting at the downtown public library in the main auditorium at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Organizers said Mayor Tommy Battle, city councilman Bill Kling and several city department heads will be there.
The mayor said if Walmart's guidelines check out they have the right to open a store.
If the new Walmart Super center does open at Mason Plaza it will replace the Walmart on Drake Avenue. No word yet on what they plan to do with that area.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Florida won 11 games last season behind a pulverizing rushing attack, a suffocating defense and passing only when absolutely necessary. The formula almost worked again.
An undermanned but resilient Gators team fell to No. 11 South Carolina 19-14 on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 83,853 in a closely contested, physical game reminiscent of the last time the two teams played in Williams-Brice Stadium.
Florida dropped its fifth consecutive game — its longest such stretch since 1979. The Gators now must win their final two games — against Georgia Southern and Florida State — to avoid missing a bowl game for the first time since 1990.
"Very proud of our guys' effort. We followed the script of what we needed to do to win the game," Florida coach Will Muschamp said. "There's a lot of negativity out there and these guys pulled together and showed you that this is something these guys are about."
Florida led for the majority of the game until midway through the fourth quarter, when the Gamecocks scored the go-ahead field goal on a drive that started on their own 5-yard line.
Shon Carson sprinted up the gut for 58 yards on first down, quickly allowing South Carolina to escape the shadow of its own end zone.
"We got bounced out of our gap," Muschamp said. "Just very disappointing Their guy made a play."
Following a 34-yard circus catch by tight end Rory Anderson on third-and-9, South Carolina had the ball on Florida's 2-yard line before its red-zone drive stalled.
Elliot Fry then drilled a 22-yard field goal attempt to take the lead. Fry was 4 of 5 on field goals.
South Carolina avenged last season's 44-11 thrashing in Gainesville, as senior quarterback Connor Shaw — who had an inconsistent game Saturday struggling with accuracy — moved to 15-0 in his career at home.
Shaw finished the night 14 of 28 for 213 yards and one touchdown.
But it was a valiant effort by a Florida team hamstrung by injuries and an embattled coaching staff.
UF was forced to start redshirt freshman quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg, as junior Tyler Murphy was unable to go because of a shoulder injury.
Mornhinweg wasn't asked to do much, as Florida dialed up a "wild-Gator" direct-snap offense that nearly confused South Carolina into an upset.
Freshman tailback Kelvin Taylor rushed for a career-high 96 yards — 83 yards in the first half — on 21 carries and two touchdowns that both came on direct snaps.
Florida's offense — in a malaise during the four-game losing streak — actually jump-started the potential upset with a powerful running game reminiscent of 2012.
Despite playing with a third-string quarterback and a beleaguered offensive line down to its fourth- and-fifth-string offensive tackles, the Gators confused the Gamecocks with a creative running game full of trickery (direct snaps, jet sweeps, direct snaps), unbalanced lines and misdirection.
Florida rushed for 200 yards against the Southeastern Conference's No. 6 rushing defense and had four runs over 20 yards — the most in a game all season.
"It's not an excuse. It's real," Muschamp said. "It's frustrating for that locker room. The hell with me. I worry about the kids. Thee kids fought their butt off. There's a lot of negativity out there. Some of these fans need to get a grip. They really do. They can criticize me all you want. I'm great with that. They pay me enough to deal with it. But those kids don't. They really. They fought their butts off. Nobody has ever questioned their efforts. I'm extremely proud of their fight and resolve."

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A Myrtle Beach man is out of jail Friday on child endangerment charges after police say he left his baby girl sitting in a parked car while he got a lap dance.
Geoffrey Allen Hale, 27, was arrested late Wednesday night at Derriere's Gentlemen's Club, 804 Seaboard St., shortly before midnight.
Officers were called the scene around 11:40 p.m. when someone reported an infant in a car seat in the back of an unoccupied vehicle. According to a police report, the responding officer located the vehicle's owner inside the club getting a lap dance.
After the dancer left the man's table, the officer asked the suspect who he was with. Authorities say Hale originally said he was there only with his wife, who is a dancer at the club, but later added his daughter was sleeping in the car.
According to the report, Hale told police he was only there to get a cell phone from his wife, and he didn't want to wake the infant, so he left her sleeping in the vehicle.
Police say the vehicle was unlocked and the keys were still in the car. Hale was arrested and charged; the mother of the child took custody.
On Friday, a judge set Hale's bond at $10,000.

3.56/5 rDev -9.6%
A - Limited to no head... Nothing much more that a quickly fading thin veil of rich off white lacing... All that is left is a thin to moderate collar... The color is a slightly warm caramel brown... Some suspended sediment... Mostly still with just a couple of stray sluggish carbonation bubbles...
S - The booziness is at the forefront... There is also an unexpected tannin quality... Caramel... Raisins... Assorted other dark fruits... Dark breads... Brown sugar... Decent complexity, but the booziness is a bit too heavy handed throughout...
T - The booze and more so the heat from the booze dominate the palate and distract from the rest of the flavors... Lying beneath the surface is some caramel, brown sugar, toffee, raisins, and dark fruit... Sadly, it's a bit of a muddled mess in which the heat of the bourbon barrel is somewhat unpleasant and serves as a distraction... Evens out a bit more as it warms, but still a disappointment overall...
M -Teetering between medium and full bodied... Sleek, smooth and rather robust... A bit of prickly carbonation... The heat of the booze is undeniable...
D - This one sat in the cellar for close to a year, but this one has a bit too much heat... Bourbon barrel aging can either add nuance or overpower and distract from the rest of the beer... Unfortunately it serves as a big distraction and creates a lot of unpleasant noise for an otherwise solid offering... I'll take the standard version (Weyerbacher Quad) any day of the week...

Still had the old bottle with the raven; I bought it late this summer in Philly.
Tawny purplish brown body, fine white head that retains well and laces a bit.
Nose had an initial whiff of pear that was really nice, but that dissipated, and the remainder isn't as great, and a little boozy. In fairness, this is about as warm as this beer would ever be served (maybe 60F).
Even slightly above cellar temperature, this is really lush. Drips with pear, plum and plenty of sweet dates. Hints of caramel and oak. Mellowed but balanced, and doesn't taste as boozy as it might have, in spite of the temperature. Reminiscent of Madeira. I get 'barrel aged' maybe, but not super bourbony, which is probably a good thing.
Unfortunately, this is pretty unctuous and syrupy-- really clings to your mouth and you'll want a glass of water with this one.
About as nice a bourbon barrel quad as you might ever ask for (Hardywood Park Bourbon Cru, anyone)? Really outstanding.

4.4/5 rDev +11.7%
A: Poured from the bomber a clear dark amber color with a pillowy off white head that is an inch high. Great lacing on the glass as you drink.
S: Sweet roasted malt and bready malt aromas with candy sugar and bourbon aromas. Hops are a gentle floral bouquet.
T: Very complex blend of sweet aromatic malt, candy sugar, bourbon, and a wonderful belgian yeast strain imparting flavors of vanilla, and spice.
M: Smooth, velvety medium body with a noticeable but well hidden alcohol strength. Light smooth carbonation.
O: Well done beer and one of my favorites of the year so far it can stand up to a good belgian quad. It will also please your palate now or stand up to some good cellaring for later.

A-Cloudy orange, almost ruby, not much carbonation, half a finger head.
S-Alcohol, some darker fruits and plums.
T-Dark fruits, some alcohol, wood no bitterness, poor balance.
M-Light, not much carbonation at all and a tad watery.
O-Poor balance, alcohol head, this beer was not that good, and it had been aged for a few months. Was expecting better.

Caged and corked bottle, served in a Duvel tulip
A - pours a copper-red, a bit of sediment, good amount of off white head that leaves a fair amount of lacing
S - good amount of belgian yeast, sour cherry notes, at the end some alcohol on the nose
T - up front the sour cherries and yeast, followed by caramel and raisins
M - Not too thick, good amont of carbonation, but a bit heavy on the booze
O - I don't drink too many Quads, but this was pretty good. Maybe a bit hot with the alcohol, but other than that, I enjoyed the complexities of this beer.

Bottle into some Lost Abbey stemware.
Rust-colored and hazy. One finger of gloppy, off-white froth. Very sticky and retentive.
In the nose: Caramelized figs, maple syrup. Brandy, brown sugar. Nice and sweet. Rich.
Booze affects the flavor a little more than the nose. Fermented dates and figs, a little maple, brown sugar, a finish of toasted bread. Touch of tangy fig in the front. Alcohol fumes float through the nose.
Gentle nudges of carbonation in a viscous medium body. Nice and syrupy. Silky carbonation gives it a feeling like whipped cream.
Very nice. A touch too much booze, but great flavor. Nice and sugary, true to style.

div keeps jumping to sidebar column
Can someone please look at these 2 pages and tell me why the Features div is jumping to the right column sidebar area and pushing everything else out of place when I add a php include (from http://skyboundmedia.com/longbranch/inc-sizes.php) into the Sizes div? My include code is: <?php include('inc-sizes.php'); ?> (The sidebar itself is an include too)
This is the way the page layout should look:
And this is how it looks after I add the include file or even just the table content directly. (If I add just regular text with no table,everything is fine).
I have tried making the table really small too, and it still displaces the Features div.
I know this must be really simple but I am tearing my hair out!
Thanks in advance!!

I would suggest that the first thing you do is run your code through the W3C Validator and fix your errors. For a start, you have a second <head> section in the middle of your page, which won't be helping anything. If you still have the problem after you fix your code, it will at least be easier to track down.

Am I correct in thinking your site is made with a wysiwig editor or "build your own website" platorm provider?
If it is, than that is probably the root of the problem. My site was originally done that way, and it was a nighmare to alter anything manually.

I would agree with benbob.
Simplicity is the first step to troubleshooting.
I have built entire web sites with nothing more than Wordpad. If things really get ugly then I resort to Dreamweaver.
Either way, you have to make the code 'human-readable' to spot the errors.

Nonfiction Monday: Little Green Frogs
I am in need of spring. What better way to find spring than to read about tadpoles? Little Green Frogs by Frances Barry is a delightful and whimsical way to explain the life cycle of little green frogs. By the way go to her website. It reflects her whimsy as an author/illustrator.
First of all the book is not your standard rectangular or square book. No it resembles the shape of a lily pad by having seven sides (okay so, a lily pad with straight lines). Then the title page is circular in nature followed by petal shaped pages which fold out to read. At the end of the book, you are left with a flower like pond scene. The last page has a secret flap which when you lift it, provides instructions for the care of tadpoles at home.
The text is playful and leads you through the development of a tadpole The repetitive "Frog eggs, frog eggs" and "tadpole, tadpoles…etc." creates a rhythm that the youngest readers will love.
Barry's paper collage illustrations match the text that makes a reader wish for spring sooner than later. I hope the unique folded pages will survive the many hands I expect it to be in.

100 - 2 1/2" Pocket hole screws, coarse thread
8 - 2x4 @ 47 1/2"
2 - 2x4 @ 28" (recommend cutting to fit after step 1)
2 - 2x4 @ 18"
2 - 2x4 @ 42 1/2"
4 - 4x4 @ 16 1/2"
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Step 1
Start by building the table top boards. Clamp each joint and attach with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws. Make sure your ends are flush. If they are not, you will need to cut ends flush with a circular saw before attaching breadboard ends.
Step 2
measure width of tabletop and cut breadboard ends. Attach breadboard ends to the tabletop as shown above, with ends flush.
Set the tabletop aside.
Updated plans for the Tryde Coffee Table. Build your own solid wood rustic coffee table! Free plans from Ana-White.com
Step 3
Now let's move on to the legs.
Take a scrap piece of 1/2" plywood and use it as a spacer to elevate your apron when attaching to the legs to get the 1/2" inset. Remember to face the 1 1/2" pocket holes in the aprons facing upward for attaching the tabletop in last step.
Build two end aprons/leg sets.
Step 4
Then attach the two leg sets together to form the tabletop base with the side aprons. Remember to keep the pocket holes for attaching the tabletop later on facing upward.
Step 5
Position the base on the underside of the top, keeping overhangs even all the way around. Attach with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and glue.

I love your blog. I'm so interested in how you live in Alaska, it's so different from how I live in South Carolina, it might as well be in a different country. I'm looking forward to those posts!

Help, please!?
Love your site and book! My friends and family are amazed at all I've made- seven of your projects in the last two months with zero experience! All thanks to you. Now, please, would you do a floating modern vanity? We are remodeling our bathroom and after prodding my husband for two years, he is now waiting on me :). I really want to do it but just can't really get a plan together. Help! And, side note, I moved from Fairbanks two rears ago - miss it so much.
Ana do you know that you've become part of the family catch-ups in our house? how was your day... what's new with your brother... what's Ana teaching you today...
also since I learned about the Kreg jig here, and bought one, we have been using "Kreg" as a verb LOL! hubby will find a plan online and ask "hey babe, can you make this? maybe you can Kreg it up or something"
Thank you for this revised plan, it's my next project!
keep up the great work!

Breadboad edges
Like it a lot. Functional, good looking, easy to build -- it has everything.Think I'll make one and end tables to match. Easy to adapt the design...
That said, builders need to be careful when attaching the BB ends. Attaching these too firmly may cause issues down the road when the wood expands and contracts (as they all do). This can result in the top splitting.
Use a pocket hole in the middle and at a couple of points on either side. Secure the middle one pretty tight (with a touch of glue here) and the other pocket screws just a bit on the loose side (NO GLUE on these however!).
This will help keep it from splitting as the humidity changes in the house and the seasons.
Keep up the great blog - I really enjoy reading it!

Aww...this brings back memories lol!
This cofffee table and the whole "Tryde" collection were some of our first building projects in my house! I still love the look on people's faces when I tell them we made that :). Thanks for all you do Ana! You kickstarted my DIY spirit and I've been working on it ever since.

Tryde Coffee table question
My wife and I are about to tackle our first project (Tryde coffee table - updated). In the photos of the coffee there are 7 boards that make up the tabletop, but in the instructions it says you need 8 2x4s (47-1/2 inches long) and in the illustrations it shows using 8 boards for the tabletop, but if you do that the 28-inch breadboard ends will not fit properly as the width would be 32 inches if you use all 8 of the 47-1/2 inch 2x4s. So either you need to use only 7 of the long boards or make your breadboard ends 32 inches long. Right?

@ Mike C
Mike, 2x4's are actually 1.5x3.5 So 3.5x8=28. So she wrote it down correctly. http://ana-white.com/2011/03/how-do-i-get-started Under step three Ana wrote out a table for us, it should help you

Now that we have started
Now that we have started putting the table together I see that it will all fit using the eight boards which do measure to 3.5 inches. It all makes sense now. But the picture still shows only 7 boards making up the tabletop. Thanks for the reply.

@ Mike C
Glad you have it figured out. Yes, the plans of the finished product do show 7 where Ana's plans have 8. No idea why Jeff built it differently but everyone tweeks things a little as needed. I'd always refer to the actual plans to verify how it will look and read the post (if available) from the person who did the actual building to see what you're getting into. Never hurts to know more in advance. Hope it turns out wonderful!

Original Tryde and Updated Tryde
The lumber list difference between these two projects is crazy! I recently borrowed a Kreg Jig, I moved the guy's piano;) fair trade I say.
But to my question, the picture looks like it obviously has 2x6's on the bead board ends, not 2x4's. Is this just for aesthetics? I still can't believe that because I am using a Kreg Jig I don't need all of those aprons and supports.
Thanks for your responses.

Mini Kreg Jig
Hi guys!
Basically I'm a poor college student who wants a coffee table and I think it would be super cool to build one myself! But I was wondering if you thought it would be possible to build this with a mini kreg jig instead of a fullsize one? A mini one is just so much cheaper and I really dont have the money to throw down another hundred dollars right now. Thanks for your input!!
Mini Kreg Jig
Personally I own the Kreg Jr and the Mini. I really love the mini because in some way it is easier to use. If you don't need two PHs in a board just use the mini. Also with the mini set you get another drill. Set one for 3/4" and the other for 1 1/2" and you are ready for most boards you will need to connect. Have a second drill with the driver in place and off to the races you go.
how do I finish it? I'd like to stain it.
Do I sand now? I did not pre-sand anything before assembling it.
if I want to distress it with a chain, do I distress it first and then sand? or sand and then distress?
when staining, do I sand in between coats?
first time building something, surprised to see it was leveled at the end!!
Lady Goats replied on Permalink
Great job on your first build!
I still get surprised when everything's level in the end! HA! What I would do is sand, distress, sand again *only* if the distressing has caused the wood to splinter, stain (sanding between coats should be addressed on the can of stain. Some of the stains I've used have recommended it, some didn't.), seal. Follow the instructions on the can, because the stains/sealants have very different instructions from one type to another.
Dumb follow up question: Is the seal colored? or clear? does it come in spray version? thanks!
Lady Goats replied on Permalink
Thnot a dumb question..
Short answer: no.
What most people here tend to use is either a polyurethane or a polycrylic. Neither are "colored", but polyurethane tends to yellow a tad over time. It's usually not noticeable over stain, but is very noticeable over light colored paints. I've never used polycrylic (paint does not need to be sealed as it is intended to be a final coat in most cases), so just a normal polyurethane (Minwax is a cheap/reliable brand) does not come colored.
Gluing the Top
I seldom glue the top of tables to the spreaders, legs, and aprons. The reason is to be able to easily take care of problems with the top should it split or warp because of environmental conditions. It will fit flush if you sand the tops of the legs, aprons, and spreaders so they are even with each other. The PH screws will hold the top very tight.

6 injured in RV, SUV crash on I-8 in Pine Valley; wreck ignited blaze in Cleveland National Forest
PINE VALLEY, Calif. - A collision on Interstate 8 in Cleveland National Forest sent two vehicles tumbling down a rocky embankment Monday, injuring six people and sparking a small brush fire, authorities reported.
The accident occurred shortly before 10 a.m. A westbound motorist swerved to his right near Corte Madera Road in the Descanso area, causing his Ford Expedition to hit the front of a camper traveling alongside him, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The vehicles crashed off the freeway and caught fire, igniting vegetation on the steeply sloping roadside, CHP public affairs Officer Kevin Pearlstein said. The victims were able to free themselves and climb back up to the roadway.
Medics took them to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego for treatment of minor to moderately serious injuries.
Fire crews needed about 30 minutes to subdue the flames, which scorched roughly a quarter-acre of rugged terrain and gutted both vehicles.

Mega parties thrown by University of Tampa students draw the ire of West Tampa neighbors
Up to 700 people show up to Tampa House parties
TAMPA - Dr. Lois Miles and Ruth McNair have been neighbors for decades in a section of West Tampa with tidy homes and groomed lawns.
"It's fairly quiet, until now," lamented Miles.
The calm was shattered with epic house parties that started right about the time students returned to class at the University of Tampa, which is less than a mile away.
"Hundreds of them line our streets and walk in groups of 40 or 50 to a particular house," said Miles.
Before one such party, a student tried to smooth things over with Ruth.
"He came with a bouquet of flowers, beautiful flowers. He wanted to give these to me to let me know he's having a party," said McNair.
Both Miles and McNair testified to the Tampa City Council Thursday about their ordeal. Council member Frank Reddick said he was in contact with the University and Tampa Police.
At one of several homes identified as hosting mammoth parties of up to 700 people, students Dan Baddeley and Matt Castriotta admit they've had problems with overflowing crowds, and noise and trash, but claim they've got it under control.
"We ID people. We have security in place. We make sure things stay as clean as possible. There are other houses doing it, but I think we're the only ones to do it right.
Showing us the record of police calls to the houses in question, Laura McElroy of the Tampa Police Department said they could make arrests if complaints continue, though it's not their first choice.
"We'd rather not arrest University students If we can get them to be a better neighbor, to make a better choice by working with the University than that's a win-win for everybody" said McElroy.
Turns out Dan Baddeley was the one who brought flowers to Ruth McNair. But as long as he throws mega-parties down the street, Ruth won't be impressed.
"No, flowers are not going to get it."

The day started like so many spring days in the East with sunshine and warm weather, but March 28th, 1984 would turn out to be one of the deadliest in our state's tornado history.
Tornadoes started forming in South Carolina during the afternoon and crossed into North Carolina near Maxton at 7:15 that evening. For the next 3 hours the East would be terrorized by a gang of tornadoes, several with winds over 200 mph. By midnight, tornadoes had claimed 57 lives. One of the storms ripped through Faison, Calypso, and then Mount Olive, killing 3 and injuring 149.
The deadliest of the tornadoes dropped from a thunderstorm near LaGrange and tore through Snow Hill, Ayden, Winterville and Simpson. This single tornado out of the cluster of 22, killed 15, injured 153, destroyed 300 homes, and was at times as wide as a dozen football fields. A third of those who died that night were in mobile homes.
Aerial photography the day after the tornado outbreak showed the extent of the damage. From destroyed buildings to uprooted oak trees, the landscape of the East was scarred for years to come. This rare weather event happened when 2 jet streams split apart over a strong temperature boundary.
Most deadly tornadoes in our area happen after dark. NOAA weather radios have weather alarms that will wake you with a weather warning. These are sold at most electronics stores.
Of course, Storm Team 9 keeps you up to date with all the latest, vital severe weather information.

Research shows more businesses displaying top food hygiene ratings
New research shows the number of food businesses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland displaying Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) stickers and certificates has increased significantly for those with the top two ratings. For those with the bottom ratings of 0 to 2, the number displaying these remains low. The research, which involved an audit and telephone survey, was commissioned by the FSA.
The findings are being used by the FSA to further develop its FHRS communications strategy and to inform policy development on display of ratings at premises.
The FHRS helps consumers choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving them information about the hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways, hotels and other places you eat, as well as in supermarkets and other food shops.
Audit of businesses
The audit of a sample of business premises given a food hygiene rating as part of the FHRS was carried out in January 2013. The results showed that the number of businesses displaying their rating at their premises had increased significantly since 2011/12 to about a half – from 43% to 52% in England, from 31% to 47% in Wales and from 50% to 57% in Northern Ireland.
The increases resulted mainly from a greater proportion of businesses with the top two ratings – 4s and 5s – putting up their certificates or stickers.
By contrast, the proportion of businesses with ratings in the bottom half of the scale – 0s, 1s and 2s – displaying these remained low at about 10% in England, 17% in Wales, 13% in Northern Ireland.
For those with the middle rating of 3, the proportion displaying this remains at about a quarter in each of the countries.
Telephone survey
The telephone interviews with businesses revealed the main reasons for displaying were:
- customer perception
- being proud of having achieved a high rating
Common reasons given for the ratings not being displayed included:
- the fact that it is not mandatory
- do not like the scheme or a view that the scheme is unfair
- a low rating
- not got round to it or didn't know they should
- head office policy not to display or doesn't suit surroundings
Helping business
Catriona Stewart, Head of the Food Hygiene Ratings Team, said: 'Many of us make spontaneous decisions about where to eat, so being able to see the rating on the door or in the window is important. It's encouraging to see that the number of businesses displaying the top two ratings is going up.
'But there is still a way to go. More of these businesses could be showing their customers that they take food hygiene seriously. We're developing a toolkit to help them do this and make the most of their ratings.
'The more ratings on display, the better for consumers and the sooner the scheme can achieve its potential to improve public health.'
How does FHRS work?
The scheme rates food outlets on a scale ranging from zero at the bottom (which means urgent improvement necessary to the hygiene standards of this business) to a top rating of five (which means the hygiene standards are very good).
You can check the rating online at food.gov.uk/ratings, or look for the distinctive green and black sticker – like the one above – in the window of the restaurant or food shop.

Note: Bump'd to the Front Page. I don't want to get too far into bowl speculation talk; especially considering what happened on Saturday, but asalom does a nice job of explaining some of the different scenarios and the various Sun Bowl options.
Here we are seven weeks into the season, and even though nothing is set and everything is up for grabs, its always fun to take a look at the possibilities. We'll start with UTEP. Off to their best start in years, the Miners are looking to go bowling for the 4th time this decade. Those plans hit somewhat of a speedbump this week as UAB and the injury gods shut down a solid UTEP team. However, the miners are still 5-2 and although any dreams of winning the conference may be slipping away, a solid 3rd or 4th finish in C-USA isn't such a bad thing.
A third place finish would put UTEP into the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl against the 3rd/4th finisher out of the Mountain West. With TCU and Utah running away with things in the MWC, a solid Air Force or SDSU team may land here. Not a bad matchup at all, even though Air Force has the nations best rushing attack, and well we all know how we've faired against the run so far.
A 4th place finish would get us into the R + L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and pit us against the top team out of the Sun Belt. At this point that Sun Belt Champ would look to be Troy, a solid overall offensive team ranking 11th in the nation in passing and 48th in rushing. Their only losses were by 1 at UAB, and by 3 at Oklahoma State. Just as a note C-USA's winner plays in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl vs. SEC 8/9 or Big East #5, C-USA #2 goes to the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl likely against Hawaii.
The 5th place finisher in C-USA plays in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl vs. the Big East #6. Other possibilities for UTEP could be the Eagle Bank Bowl, The Texas Bowl, The Dallas Football Classic, or even The Sun Bowl.
Next we move on to the newly named Hyundai Sun Bowl. Over the years the Sun Bowl has quietly moved itself closer and closer to the upper echelon of college football bowls paying out nearly $2 million per team. The Sun Bowl will pit the #3 Pac-10 team vs. ACC chamionship game runner up team or 3rd place. The Sun Bowl also had ties to the Big East #2 and Notre Dame but I'm not sure if those are still in play. As far as the Pac-10 and ACC go, those conferences are jampacked around the spots that would come to the Sun Bowl. However, it is exciting to see some of the possibilities that are alive.
The #3 Pac-10 team is looking to be an Arizona, Stanford, or even possibly Oregon State squad. The #2/3 ACC team could possibly be Florida State, Va Tech, or NC State among others. A lot of the possibilities between those schools available could prove to be some good matchup. Definitely would not mind seeing any combination of Arizona, Stanford, Florida,and Va Tech. Again, not too sure if Notre Dame is still an option for the Sun Bowl but in a year like this for them they could possibly find themselves in El Paso. A Stanford-Notre Dame game sounds great, even though Stanford would likely roll them. The possibilities seem to be endless at this point, but everything will start shaking out quite a bit over the next 2-3 weeks. Who knows, if UTEP can somehow find a way to run the table they may be looking at their first Sun Bowl appearance in decades. We'll just have to wait and see.

Mike Ashley, Andy Carroll and finding alchemy in the unpredictable
WHEN Mike Ashley renamed St James' Park after the sportswear company that had turned him into one of Britain's richest men, the menacing warnings that emanated from a wounded Tyneside were stark.
Over a century of history had been tampered with in favour of the crudest form of commercialism but bubbling beneath the backlash, a curious thing happened. Sportsdirect.com recorded more traffic than at any point in the history of its online retail operation.
Ashley has long since learned to embrace the chaos of making difficult decisions, and history tends to bear him out in the long-run. Not necessarily in the short-term - his early struggles at St James' Park were replicated at Sports Direct - but eventually, Ashley has the happy knack of emerging on top.
Quite how that initial anarchy turns into alchemy is the key here. There is something that Ashley does in the meantime that clearly works - and pays off time and time again.
I know what your next question is, but if we could explain exactly what it is that Ashley does then it wouldn't be special. We'd all be doing it, and an unremarkable Ashley would blend into the background without his collection of helicopters and country mansions.
In trying to pin down the motivation for Newcastle's perplexing bid to bring Andy Carroll back, I think I might have accidentally stumbled upon a sniff of the Ashley secret. Talking to someone in the inner circle at St James' Park, we kept returning to one word: unpredictable.
Quite simply, even his closest allies can't really tell you what Ashley is going to do next. They can assume - and Newcastle's business model now runs to a pretty simple blueprint - but every now and then he'll throw you a curve-ball that you didn't see coming.
The pursuit of Carroll certainly qualifies. It is not that the England striker is not a good player - as anyone who saw him first time around will testify, he can be absolutely devastating - but it seems to make little success for Newcastle right now.
For a start, it has veered so far off the path of United's current transfer blueprint that it seems barely credible. Having made such progress by identifying targets whose valuations don't match their ability, it seems strange that he would sanction such a huge transfer - and in a position that United are well served in too.
Scoring goals was not the problem last season. In the first half of a gloriously uplifting campaign they had Demba Ba blazing a trail through top flight defences and when his goals dried up, the mantle was successfully grasped by Papiss Cisse and Hatem Ben Arfa.
From September onwards, you knew that Newcastle had goals in them. By the time they had blossomed into genuine top four contenders after a mid-winter wobble, they were arguably the Premier League's most devastating attacking unit.
If there was a problem, it was in defence. United were hardly porous - they still kept more clean sheets than any team barring Manchester City in those final weeks of the season - but there were times when they looked vulnerable. On the final day of the season there was an unedifying collapse at Everton which seemed to confirm that reinforcements were required.
Confronted with those facts, what does Ashley do? Sanctions a £13million logic-defying bid for a player that he sold for £35million just 16 months previously.
To this correspondent, the acquisition of Carroll makes little sense. It is an exciting development that I would love to see come to pass - if only because there is something intoxicating about a good redemption tale. But while United require a centre-back to bolster their starting XI, I would argue that this is where the priority should lie.
United are a different team from the one that Carroll left, much less one-dimensional and a great deal more nuanced in their approach play. They have players capable of supplying the bullets for Carroll but does anyone on the Gallowgate really want to see Newcastle return to the functional style of Chris Hughton's days?
I'm not convinced it is worth the gamble, but then I belong to a sizeable proportion of the population who you would classify as risk-averse. While Ashley zooms about in his helicopter, I shudder at the thought of stepping into a big, safe and comfortable commercial airliner.
I also would have paid the extra couple of million to sign Gervinho last summer, I wouldn't have cashed in on Carroll at such a crucial stage of the season and I most definitely would have signed a defender in January for insurance.
Ashley did none of the things above and yet Newcastle prospered, so he has earned our trust as he contemplates the next move in the Carroll chase.
Having identified the lucrative middle ground between recklessness and risk, he is entitled to have another go on the transfer roulette wheel. And I rather suspect he enjoys making our heads spin while he's doing it.

A fresh carpenter, young to some, old school to others... I love what I do. If i can make a living out of it, it's a win-win situation!
