text: After a brief local flight, the pilot returned to the departure airport. During the landing the airplane touched down on the runway and bounced. The pilot again attempted to land the airplane, however the nose dropped and the nose landing gear and propeller struck the runway, resulting in a second bounce. The pilot subsequently regained control of the airplane after it struck the runway a third time and taxied to the hangar uneventfully. A postaccident examination revealed that the airplane sustained substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane.

"Very well," Captain Shanna Williams responded.
"Attack Plan will be Juliet seven. Snap count will begin at one million kilometers.
"Helm, take us right to course 85, full speed ahead, execute immediately. Pull her nose up to Mark one, but I want to stay ten thousand kilometers under that beast.
"Navigator, let me know when we come across the target's stern, and I don't want to have to twist any struts coming up behind him. A simple tight turn will be fine.
"Guns, power up the photons. Plan for an overload shot at 40,000 kilometers, follow up with phasers. Drone launch at 80,000 if you have a lock.
"Any questions?" There were none.
"Comments, Lieutenant?" Captain Williams asked.
"Even at your speed," the Klingon attaché answered, "this won't work. The Juggernaut can out-turn you."
"That is not what the intelligence files say," Williams answered, keeping her eyes on the screen.
"Grey's ship was badly damaged," Lieutenant Kezlok responded. "His records were not complete. I read them."
"A ship that big cannot turn any better than my ship can," Williams sneered. "Nothing in the records or the reports says it can."
"You read the processed report, not the interview transcripts," the Klingon answered, keeping a smile on his face.
"Grey's crew said that it could out turn the Excalibur, something Star Fleet Intelligence omitted from the report. What they do not believe, they do not repeat."
"I have never heard this," Williams said, hesitantly.
"I was there, remember?" Kezlok answered with a smile, gesturing vaguely at the Federation Star Fleet Bronze Star on his uniform sash next to his Fleet Star. "My phaser battery scored some of the first hits on the first Juggernaut's armor."
"Even so ..." Williams began, clearly not believing him.
"Coming on the target's stern we are," the Navigator almost sang. "Laid in is new course."
"Execute," Captain Williams snapped.
"Coming to new course, 352, mark one," the Helmsman reported. "On course ... now!"
"Range kilometers 1,590,000," the Navigator reported.
"On course, on speed, snap count is set for one million kilometers," the Executive Officer spoke precisely. Andorians were always so damned precise.
"Range one million, fifty thousand," the Navigator called.
"Go for snap count," Williams barked.
"Snap count in three ... two ... one ..." the Executive Officer intoned. "Now!"
"Dropping to combat speed," the helmsman reported. If the ship got within weapons range going above warp 3.2, it would be too vulnerable to damage. "Warp three. On course."
"Drones have a lock, launching in five..." the weapons officer said, counting down as the ship approached the target at Warp 3. "Drone away. Phasers and photons locked. Firing in four ... three ... two ... one ... FIRING!" he called out.
"Not again!" Williams screamed, punching for the intercom button. "Engineering! You said you had that fixed!" Out of the corner of her eye, Captain Shanna Williams saw the Klingon attaché smile and turn away, pretending to study one of the still-working port-side panels.
"Power is out on the entire starboard side of the saucer section," the voice of the engineer responded from the speaker. "We still have power in the rear hull, and both engines are running at full power, as is the impulse array. I have crews assessing the problem but cannot estimate a time element in identifying the failure."
"What about fixing the problem?" Williams asked with a snarl in her voice. "Any time element on that?"
"I will give you an estimate once I locate the problem," the engineer replied. "In the meantime, I recommend you transfer the con to auxiliary control. They remain fully functional."
"Signal from the Kearsarge, Captain," the communications officer reported.
"Put it on speakers," Williams directed.
"Good shot, Captain," the voice said. "We didn't see you coming until you were passing three hundred thousand. Didn't have time to do much about it other than raise shields. Do you still think that stunt will work if a real Juggernaut shows up?"
"Affirmative," Williams responded. "End exercise forty-seven. Form up on my port quarter. We will reduce speed to sub-light. You and your bridge crew can beam over for dinner at 1800 and we'll talk."
"Wouldn't miss it," Commander Strakhorn answered. "And what's up with the lights on your saucer?"
Wardroom, USS Eagle, 1814 hr, 3 Jan Y169
"That would exceed my authority," Captain Williams said. "But I can send a subspace request to Star Fleet Headquarters and ask them if your orders can be extended. You do have another two weeks with us." And I wouldn't mind getting you off of my bridge, but Star Fleet is never going to let you near the new cruiser, she thought while smiling at the Klingon.
"That would be splendid," Kezlok replied. "And again, thank you for adding an extra drill to your shakedown to deal with the Juggernaut. I still have ... what do you call them, unhappy night visions? ... of that ship."
"Nightmares," the weapons officer spoke, "we call them nightmares. I have nightmares of the Juggernaut and I have never seen one."
"And there is no indication that a second such ship will ever appear," said the executive officer, his antennae twisting toward the Klingon. "No harm in an extra drill, but spending too much time worrying about things so unlikely to happen is not a productive use of our time out here. Time that is much reduced because the engineers cannot keep the ship running."
"If you expect me to take offense at that remark, you will have to learn to live with disappointment," the Vulcan chief engineer responded. "As I discussed with the captain, the problem is not one of my creation - the shipyard must take responsibility for that - but I confess that I am puzzled as to why my technicians cannot isolate the fault."
"Just what happen did?" the Navigator asked, his voice unusually tense.
"Power overloaded one of the energy relay junctions and melted it," the Vulcan explained.
"Again?" the Navigator asked. "Fixed that I thought you had?"
"There are twenty-four such relay junctions on this ship," the engineer explained. So far, five of them have burned out during a total of forty-seven combat exercises, counting one that has burned out twice. We have yet to identify exactly what is causing the problem. As you know, using our on-board stores of diagnostic equipment, we placed recording devices on the six junctions I determined to be the most likely to fail. This failure today was not in one of those, and was in fact in a junction which has never failed before. I have insufficient data to identify the problem. We had, as you know, disengaged the automatic re-routing after the last exercise, when the previously-repaired junction failed and power being rerouted burned out another junction."
"Why not put watch dogs on all of the junctions?" the Weapons Officer asked.
"We lack the equipment to do so," the Vulcan said.
"Perhaps you could borrow some of ours," Strakhorn said, looking at his own chief engineer. "We haven't had any of these issues and could spare the equipment and technicians."
"This would be most welcome," the Vulcan said.
"How is the new battle drill working out," Strakhorn said.
"Excellent," Williams answered. "It cuts combat response times and gives us a decisive edge.
"Strakhorn noticed several pairs of eyes rolling around the table, but knew better than to ask any of the Eagle's officers to comment on her Captain's pet project. He sought out another target. "Lieutenant Kezlok, does the Deep Space Fleet use such drills as the 'snap count' concept that Captain Williams is pioneering?"
We have 'combat modes' including those where all commands are given by the captain and other modes in which individual gunnery officers are authorized to engage their own targets. A perfect combination of the Klingon philosophy of rigid central control and the warrior philosophy of individual initiative." He laughed briefly at his own joke about his own race. A few others laughed with him.
"However, your new doctrine is intriguing and I will be writing a report on it when I get home," Kezlok said. "You base it on range rather than time, which is most interesting. Clearly, it only works when you know in advance what your attack plan will be, and have time to program all of the ..."
"Which is why, Lieutenant," Captain Williams interrupted, "it is the perfect doctrine for this ship. We're so fast that we can set up our attack runs at a distance and be on the enemy before they know we hit them."
"If they do not cloak first," the Weapons Officer said. The group burst out laughing.
"I remain curious about one thing," Kezlok asked. "On your ship, the navigator is the one doing the ... tactical intelligence job. Why is this?"
"Because the scanners have I," the Navigator responded, the tips of his ears glowing almost green, "and in tactical combat once we are, nothing else to do I have. Maintain our location and to plot courses to destination next assigned is my task. Once engaged with target we are, captain bypassing me is ordering the helmsman directly."
"Most efficient," Kezlok answered. "On our ships, we do much the same thing, but there is always a navigator in a separate compartment, below the bridge, maintaining our position relative to all astronomical bodies. You do not have such extra navigators, and require the ... tactical intelligence navigator ... to maintain these positions while tracking the enemy as well."
"Hard it not is," the Navigator said. "Time most of, nothing there is there. Warning computer gives of 100,000 kilometers object we are from to around go."
"I see," said Kezlok. "Well, there is more than one way to do anything correctly. I'm sure your system works for you."
Captain's Quarters, USS Eagle, 2236 hrs, 11 Jan Y169
"It's not your ship, it's mine," Captain Williams responded. "And the computer tracks his movements. He's restricted to certain areas and hasn't violated those limits."
"And you invite him to dinner every night."
"He's a guest, the deputy assistant military attaché for Rigel, invited on our shakedown cruise by Star Fleet Headquarters, which ordered me to show him 'every courtesy'. He's a foreign officer, just like that Gorn who rode along with us on the Constellation for six weeks."
"Do you trust this Klingon?" the weapons officer said.
"Only to be true to his own nature, and his own government," Captain Williams answered. "You remember the story of the frog and the scorpion, of course?"
"It is my nature, I cannot help myself," he answered with a grin, reaching for the buttons on her uniform.
"A nature I know only too well," Shanna chuckled. "Stop, let me do that."

PLC encourages Senate to retain funding blocks
Public Lands Council Executive Director Dustin Van Liew said blocking funds to implement the Department of the Interior's "Wild Lands" Secretarial Order 3310 and halting payments authorized under the Equal Access to Justice Act are encouraging signs members of the U.S. House of Representatives are listening to the concerns of public lands ranchers. These funding limitations were attached to H.R. 1, a continuing resolution approved by the U.S. House of Representatives to fund the federal government through the end of the fiscal year. The CR has now moved to the Senate for consideration.
Last month, PLC submitted a letter to Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar voicing opposition to the Order, which directs the Bureau of Land Management to designate areas with wilderness characteristics under its jurisdiction as "Wild Lands" and to manage them to "protect" their wilderness values.
"Shifting the BLM's focus from multiple-use management to management for wilderness characteristics, as the Order would do, presents a threat to the longstanding multiple-use activities on public lands, including livestock grazing," Van Liew said. "The Order would have far-reaching negative effects on public lands ranchers and the communities that rely on a thriving ranching industry. The administration should not be allowed to make decisions of such magnitude without getting input from local stakeholders or Congress' consent."
With regard to EAJA, Van Liew also said Rep. Cynthia Lummis' (R-WY) amendment is a win for livestock producers.
"For years, radical environmental extremists have abused EAJA to fund petty lawsuits designed to bring down the public lands livestock grazing industry and other multiple-use industries," Van Liew said. "As it stands, ranchers impacted by these suits must pay crippling legal fees to defend their land, business or way of life against the lawsuit. At the very same time, their own hard-earned money is being used to help pay the attorney fees for the very groups attacking them. It's a true injustice."
The Lummis amendment would put a six-month moratorium on all payments from EAJA to give Congress the time to study the issue and make necessary changes. Van Liew added that, while there has been no real oversight of EAJA, the cost to taxpayers reportedly exceeds $37 million in payments to radical environmental groups, many whose net worth exceeds $50 million.
"While the CR is not a done deal and still faces tests in the Senate before it can be sent to the president, it is encouraging that the House has included these two critical funding limitations," Van Liew said, "PLC encourages the Senate to retain both the block on funding to implement the Order as well as the halt on EAJA payments."

HGST: Enough of those MUTANT HYBRIDS. We'll do an Apple, thanks
HGST has said "no" to hybrids, it would seem. While Seagate, Toshiba and WD are all pushing the idea of hybrid drives, SSHDs, with a flash cache added to the spinning disks, HGST prefers a different approach: separate flash and disk drives. HGST, the wholly owned but separately operating subsidiary of Western Digital, has a …
What he says is all well and good for OEMs building new machines but for someone wanting a replacement drive for an existing laptop the hybrid design offers a drop in upgrade. Most laptops don't have a spare SATA or PCI-E slot for a flash drive to plug in.
Re: upgrades
"What he says is all well and good "...
but even that didn't sound convincing - the parallel interfaces of separate storage volumes is largely irrelevant when you're primarily caching data between the two volumes on a client device. Add in that the system integrators won't select best of breed, they'll select cheapest of breed, and the fact that a dedicated processor need not be inferior to sharing the CPU (eg RAID is always better with a dedicated processor rather than software RAID), and his arguments are worn very thin.
This looks to me more like HGST were late to the hybrid device party (or won't licence essential patents), and are now trying to excuse their omission. Certainly, a caching SSD volume (or programme volume) in a desktop accompanied by a big spinning rust drive is probably the best upgrade for many users, and the two drive solution is the way to go, but in a laptop then hybrids make an excellent solution. Was he paid for getting it @rse about face like this?
Re: upgrades
This looks to me more like HGST isn't bothering with hybrids because WD is already doing it, just as WD isn't bothering with helium because HGST is already working on it.
China may have ordered them to operate separately, but that applied primarily to their existing product lines. It didn't order them to act as if the other party didn't exist and an eventual merger wouldn't happen. Given that, it makes strategic sense not to duplicate efforts, especially in those cases where the other party already has a leg up.
Re: upgrades
My thought also: WD and HGST will merge, so duplicating research is pointless. Hydrid drives is WD's job.
As for "robust device drivers" I understand what he is saying. A modern CPU is more powerful than the microcontroller in a hard drive, especially when it comes to algorithms that can't be accelerated by custom hardware. So letting an OS combine an SSD-based cache with conventional disk drives may be the best-performing solution. However, it does require someone to write that driver and to support it. (Is it a hint that post-merger, HGST may be getting into the software business? )
The nice thing about a hybrid drive is that you know exactly who to blame if it mangles your data. I feel pretty confident that the caching in hybrid drives will be robust and reliable, even if it's far from optimal for any particular usage pattern .
I just choked on my morning coffee
"and the caching algorithm is being managed by a robust software driver "
That, in an OEM context? If oxymorons gave you wings this would have broken the speed of light barrier and gone to warp 9 on it's own accord. No thanks, no "more "robust drivers" please.
Re: I just choked on my morning coffee
I haven't read any horror stories about OSX's Logical Volume Manager since it came out nine months ago...
Re: I just choked on my morning coffee
Yeah, but on OS X the potential performance problems that can arise from putting the wrong kind of data on the wrong disk (yes HDDs can be faster than SSDs for certain access patterns) are largely masked by the already horrendous performance of HFS+.
"SSHD's dingle interface"
Childish snort time! He said "dingle"! Tee-hee-hee!
Better done at the OS level
The semantics of block devices are not rich enough for them to do a good job of caching. This is better done at the OS' filesystem layer, as with ZFS' logzilla/cachezilla hybrid storage pool approach, Apple's Fusion or Microsoft's ReadyBoost.
translation: they don't have the software
There are obvious use cases for hybrid drives at the hardware level. form factor being one, you can slap a hybrid drive into pretty much any laptop out there and get an immediate speed boost. No need go and buy a new laptop. Easy to support is another - my Linux distribution(Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) has no support for hybrid on my laptop or desktop. Not sure what the state is of hybrid on Linux in newer systems, haven't seen much talk of it.
Simplicity - no special software to manage/patch/etc.
So far all of the hybrid drives have come with very small SSDs, so the only obvious advantage I see to splitting it is being able to have a much larger cache.
It seems Hitachi lacks the software/firmware tech to do hybrid so they are talking the approach down, when it is clearly a winning solution in many cases(I'd wager the majority of cases).
I've used Seagate Momentus XT for probably two years now and it provides an enormous speed boost on both laptop(8GB ram) and desktop(16GB ram). I have seen people say the hybrids don't do anything over memory cache, well my experience says otherwise. If firefox is cached in the hybrid I can start it in less than a second, if it is cached in memory(start it, shut it down, start it again) it still takes several seconds.
The only downsides I have to them are the SSD cache is small, and when dual booting(though rare for me) it wrecks havoc with the cache, which has to get warmed up again. No worse than memory cache which has to get warmed up regardless.
I much prefer Hitachi's approach, but for other reasons than he mentioned
With a separate SSD and HDD, I can upgrade them independently.
Then I can throw out the "robust caching software" after upgrading the SSD part from say,30GB to 256GB like on the Asus UX32VD, and thus arrive at the true "optimal" solution of having an SSD for OS and Software and an HDD for data that doesn't get thrashed by Windows.
Asus and Gigabyte have shown that you can easily fit this type of combo into an Ultrabook, since mSata or M.2 flash drives are already being built in a form factor matching that of a gum stick.
This is my primary criterion for selecting an Ultrabook, right next to getting a high brightness IPS display.

2013 Past event:
So you wanna do smarter more effective marketing by John Paul Fischbach
Presented by Youth Arts Queensland and Queensland Theatre Company
18 & 19 March 2013
About Day 1 – Professional Development 18 March
John Paul Fischbach discussed how language is the key to better promoting your product or art. The Workshop and Seminar – So you Wanna Learn Smarter More Effective Marketing – provided participants with the skills, language and mindset to change the way they talk about their art by using Value Based Language.
Value Based Language is a new way of thinking about your work and how to connect with others about what you do in a more meaningful way. John Paul Fischbach from Auspicious Incubator delivered this workshop and seminar as an inspired marketing strategy.
John Paul is an international producer and director of both theatre and film. In 1997 he transitioned his large theatre company to using Value Based Language and continues to be a passionate advocate of changing the way we talk about the art.
"If you have all the money you need, all the support you can use and have the audience you want… GREAT… if not, it is time to learn to talk about your art in a way that will create more money, more support and a bigger audience.
We have to stop talking about the art and learn the language of value and benefit…We've never been good at selling, but we are awesome at sharing our passion. Learn when and how – the secret of Value Based Language" John Paul Fiscbach
About Day 2 – Youth Arts Roundtable 19 March
This day of development focused on using Value Based Language for the benefit of the entire youth arts industry- rather individual or organisational outcomes.
John Paul steered the group to enhance the way we collectively talk about the value of the arts in the lives of children and young people, how we convey the value of the arts for children and young people as essential, and proactively shape the future of our industry. It was a great activity that helped connect youth arts industry leaders, improve the language we use to convey our collective industry, and work together to make and influence positive change.
Since that day, the QLD Youth Arts Roundtable group has formed and decided to meet regularly. The group has had three meetings since, the group has grown considerably (any YAQ members are welcome to join), we were approached by Arts Queensland and participated in their Arts for All Queenslanders face-to-face consultation, and Arts Minister Ian Walker has agreed to meet with the group on 20 June.
"A really wonderful and engaging presenter, with such a wealth of knowledge. It was extremely beneficial, and I am extremely glad that I attended"
"I really enjoy the concept of the 'learned' and 'learning'. I am trying my absolute best to get out of that 'learned' headspeace, and I do believe we've already made some positive changes by introducing a slight change in the way we think"
"The most rewarding and thought provoking seminar I have been to in years"
Key learnings I remember:
- Value the things from the heart more than the dollars and the rest will follow
- Find out what your audience like and give them that.
- There is always a better way to do things..keep learning, dont be one of the learned..
- Don't waste your time talking about your work – talk about the value of the work and what your audience will get out of it.
- That benefits and values can stem from the idea/inspiration BEHIND the story/performance/programming, not just the performance itself.

BCATP Instructor
February 4 2009, 6:03 PM
Its a BCATP instructors uniform, but there are a lot of question marks over it. The dark blue tunic and cap are pretty standard, as is the cap badge. But its a puzzle why it has RCAF wings (as many such instructors were Civilians) and why it has USA titles too.
It was up for sale several times through manions but didnt sell, and a couple of friends I know who collect BCATP material werent really impressed. It finally sold I think in the high hundreds (dollars) but that was only about a year ago. Credit crunch? Or has the seler also got his suspicions?

BCATP Uniform
February 4 2009, 8:20 PM
Hi Alex,
I am in no way vouching for the set but do know that it is very possible that it could have RCAF wings. One of my very close friends is a WWII RCAF pilot vet. When he graduated with his wings he was assigned as an instructor at AOS #8, Ancienne Lorrette (Quebec.) One of his uniforms was the dark blue BCATP instructor uniforms as seen for sale on Ebay. On this uniform he tells me he wore his RCAF wings. He also wore his RCAF wings on a private purchase leather flight jacket and also on his Sidcot flight suit. I guess he was very proud he had earned them. I either have photographs of, or the actual items to bear witness to his statements. My friend by his own admission was a bit of a restless spirit/rebel and was constantly being called on the carpet in front of the CO for various flying infractions. (Low level buzz jobs etc.) In addition I would also imagine it is plausible that JW Church was an American that joined the RCAF early in the war, then was assigned as an instructor. I don't find believing that all that much of a stretch. This set was finally sold by Manion's and almost immediately appeared for sale on Ebay. It sold at Manion's for approx. $1,000USD and if my memory serves me correct, it resold on Ebay in the neighborhood of $1,400USD. I'm not sure of the reason that it has now appeared for resale. Not a very often seen set. My thoughts anyway.

I agree totally Paul, and was interested myself in the uniform. Its a nice set, and I love the cap. I had an idea that one time it sold it was quite low (possibly the last time?) as I thought the cap alone was worth that, but maybe Im wrong. If I had the money I'd probably go for it. But a nice piece and as you say, a rare set.

Excellent for diabetic Christmas Pud
Can't taste any difference from normal sugar after cooking. Have followed the same diabetic recipe for years and there is no difference between Tate and Lyle fruit sugar or another more expensive fructose brand that I have used in the past.

The sugar that changes its shape
...but sadly, not necessarily yours, unless you do as you would with normal sugar, and cut back on the amount you use. It's as Cliff says, for a good few months, this sugar has been horrible, and the size of granulated sugar, having for years been a fine sugar. this meant that it just didn't work as a sprinkling sugar for fruit or cereal, unless you wanted to crunch your way through a layer of it. I just purchased some more, and it's mysteriously reverted to its former size of sugar grains.I hope it stays the way it's always been this time.

Fruit sugar?????
Bought this product for years...then receive a shipment that looks and tastes just like ordinary granulated. Tate and Lyle say this is just change in sizing of the granules. I would beg to differ. It doean't even taste the same!!! Made me very cross and they didn't even offer to compensate my postage costs or apologise for the inconvenience/dissatisfaction. Don't waste your money!

Good substitute
This is a good substitute for ordinary sugar, for those who want to avoid it. Can be used for baking but you must reduce the temperature at which you bake (in my oven reducing by 20 degrees works) and give longer time to achieve a good result.
Chicken, Peanut, Sugar Snap and Basil Stir-Fry
Stir fries are really wonderful to get into making. They are quick and you can really up your intake of veggies without it seeming like a chore. I suggest getting all of the ingredients together first and then it takes about 10 minutes cooking to be on the plate. Chillies boost the metabolism and the lime and basil make it a flavour packed dinner. By Sophie Michell

Ewing: 2012 Olympic team 'light in middle'
Updated On: Jul 30 2012 07:54:24 AM CDT
The latest volley in the war of words between the 1992 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team and the 2012 edition comes from Patrick Ewing.
Ewing, one of the 1992 team's centers, said this year's Olympic team would not lose to this year's group.
"They're a lot smaller than we were," Ewing said Saturday night on NBA TV network. "(The current team is) kind of light in the middle. Myself and David Robinson, we would have had a field day. ... I'm not saying we would have creamed them. Best out of 10, I'd say we'd have beaten them 10 out of 10."
Ewing, the former New York Knicks center, was one of 11 eventual members of Basketball Hall of Fame to play on the 1992 team.
The friendly rivalry began last month when 2012 member Kobe Bryant said his team would beat the 1992 team. After negative reaction from 1992 members, 2012 teammate LeBron James backed up Kobe's boast last week.
The 1992 team regularly points to the average victory margin of more than 43 points during their Olympic run.
The 2012 team opened Olympics first-round play Sunday with a 98-71 victory over France.

Motorcyclist hurt, driver cited in Hwy. 97 crash
Updated On: May 17 2014 03:06:36 PM CDT
A Bend motorcyclist went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and a Medford driver was cited after a collision on Highway 97 north of Bend that blocked much of the road for about a half-hour Friday afternoon.
Deschutes County sheriff's deputies were dispatched around 3:30 p.m. to the reported crash at 61st Street, between Bend and Redmond, said sheriff's Sgt. Kevin Dizney.
Deputies arrived to find both southbound lanes blocked, as well as partial blockage of the left-hand northbound lane, Dizney said.
An investigation found that a Toyota Rav SUV driven by Susan Louise Dwyer, 72, of Medford, was trying to turn left, from eastbound 61st Street onto northbound Highway 97 and turned into the path of a southbound Yamaha XVA motorcycle ridden by Orlando Pallozi, 40, of Bend.
Dwyer, accompanied by two children, ages 5 and 8, said she did not see the approaching motorcycle. Dizney said the front of the SUV collided with the motorcycle, knocking Pallozi to the ground.
Pallozi was taken by Redmond Fire ambulance to St. Charles-Bend, where a nursing supervisor said he was in good condition. No one in the SUV was injured.
Dwyer was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device, Dizney said. The investigation is ongoing, but the sergeant said speed, alcohol or distracted driving don't appear to be factors in the crash.
The SUV had moderate front-end damage, and both vehicles were towed from the scene. Dizney said crash-scene assistance also was provided by Oregon State Police, ODOT and Bend fire medics.

Professional Basketball
The Crusader tradition in the pros dates back to the 1940s. Don Warnke (1942-45) holds the distinction of being the first Valpo player to play professional basketball, taking the court for Cleveland of the National Professional League in 1945-46.
Valparaiso has then developed a strong tradition within the last two decades of preparing its players for professional playing careers. Over the last 20 years, 37 Crusaders have gone on to play professional basketball or baseball, highlighted by the drafting of Bryce Drew 16th overall by the Houston Rockets in the 1998 NBA Draft. Most recently, All-League honorees Ryan Broekhoff (Besiktas JK, Turkey) and Kevin Van Wijk (Oviedo CB, Spain) have inked professional deals to play basketball overseas.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind. – A central Indiana woman has been sentenced to time served after pleading guilty to smashing a ceramic plate over her husband's head and stabbing him with the broken shards.
Forty-five-year-old Robin L. McJury had pleaded guilty to domestic battery in last summer's attack.
The Star Press reports (http://tspne.ws/13nhXvL) that a Blackford Circuit Court judge gave McJury a one-year sentence and then suspended all but 38 days, time that McJury has already spent in the county jail. She also received 289 days of probation.
Police said McJury broke a plate over her husband's head last August at their Hartford City home and then used the plate's jagged pieces to stab him three times in the leg.
McJury told police she was tired of being spoken to in a demeaning manner.

|Sylvester Stallone, Burt Reynolds, Til Schweiger, Kip Pardue
|Film, Action
Driven is what it purports to be, a fast-paced movie about the world of high-tech car racing, but it manages to avoid the one-dimensionality of most sport films by creating likable characters with depth. German racer Beau Brandenburg (Til Schweiger) is the defending world champion, but his status is threatened by the rookie American Jimmy Bly (Kip Pardue). Carl Henry (Burt Reynolds), Bly's team owner, asks veteran driver Joe Tanto (Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote the script) to join the team and help Bly win the championship. Tanto acts as mentor to both Bly and Brandenburg, offering them each wisdom about life on and off the track. Driven never turns in to a bland good-guy-vs.-bad-guy story; the characters learn to work together even when they are vying for the championship and for--you guessed it--a woman's love. A thrilling dual race-car rampage through the streets of Chicago keeps the adrenaline pumping, and it's a pleasure to see the aging Stallone back in action.

I'm only two weeks in to my cycle. I'm up about five pounds in body weight but I'm guessing that's just water weight. I will say that my strength has gone up significantly. I'm going to do the full eight week cycle. I'm expecting some serious gains by the end of the eight weeks. I will most likely do another eight week cycle, four weeks after my PCT.

This is the best ph I've ever tried. I put on 25 pounds! I did hold a little water but my mass is way up. I highly recommend it if you want to put on some serious muscle.

text: Crystal Palace Wins $200 Million Promotion to Premier League Print article Send a Tip by Mike Flynn 27 May 2013 post a comment On Monday, London football club Crystal Palace won promotion to the top-flight Premier League. They defeated Watford to secure the third slot for promotion to England's equivalent of the NFL. The win is estimated to be worth as much as $200 million. The club's win is possibly the most lucrative prize in sport's history. One of the best features of the English Premier League is that, every year, the three worst performing teams are thrown out of the league. They don't put up with teams like the Kansas City Chiefs across the pond. Likewise the three best teams in the lower Championship League are elevated each year to replace the slackers. The entire process creates a fluidity that makes almost every match important, even long after the champion has already been crowned. The first two teams in the lower league win automatic promotion. The next tier of teams engage in a play-off to win promotion. On Monday, Crystal Palace defeated Watford to secure the third promotion to the Premier League. It is estimated that the move to the top league is worth $200 million to the club. TV rights for English soccer have reached dizzying heights. This is likely to increase in the coming years as NBC launches a new focus on European soccer and powerhouse Manchester City teams with the New York Yankees to create a new American MLS club. Americans have been largely immune from the "beautiful game." Its defenses are cracking, however. More Americans are playing in the European leagues, which should make our national team more competitive. Our national team generally plays the "boring" kind of soccer. More exposure to European leagues should fix that. In addition, the World Cup next year will be waged in Brazil, well within our local time-zones. Best to get ahead of the crowd and fall in love with the game all over again. Follow Mike Flynn on twitter: @Flynn1776

Mastoris Diner, Bordentown, NJ
- s
- Sandi H. Aug 19, 2003 07:31 PM
Today, a friend mentioned that her Dad thinks Mastoris Diner in Bordentown is the best Diner anywhere. My husband and I love to try Diners-- the more authentic, old-style the better; of course it helps if the food is great, too! Can anyone recommend Mastoris and what to order there?
re: Sandi H.
Where is Bordentown? We will be driving from Philly to Brigantine Beach next week-is it near anywhere we will be?
re: stan-
If you go to www.Expedia.com it has a map feature. Just type in Mastoris address: 144 Route 130, Bordentown, and you'll see that Bordentown's located southeast of Trenton, off of Rte. 195. So it's "sorta-kinda" on the way to the shore if you don't mind taking the scenic route.
re: Sandi H,
I found mastoris by mistake about 7 years ago,best mistake of my life!,yes the cheese bread is killer!,i have never had a less than great meal there,however service,and food both suffer a little during peak business hours,the trick is go in early,or better yet after 11:00 in the evening,the people have treated me like a king there late at night,can't say enough good about them,only bad part is we dont have 1 in orlando.
re: jason
I have to agree, Mastoris is my FAVORITE restaurant in all of jersey. My dad took my family there a couple years ago (he had discovered it when working down in Bordentown once) and he loved it. It is about an hour drive from my house, but it is completely worth it!! My entire family thinks the food is great, the service is great, and the entire atmosphere of the restaurant is great. I agree, the cheesy bread and cinnamon bread are to die for!
re: Tanya
Lived in Bordentown 10 years ago. We still go back there for their cheesebread, cinnamon bread and corn pudding. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to duplicate the amazing corn pudding. Have called and tried to get the recipe, no go!!!!!!
Have been all over the world, nothing compares to Mastoris!!!!!!
re: Sandi H.
I don't consider Mastori's diner a convenient stop on the way to the shore. It's located in Bordentown where routes 130 and 206 meet--you can get to the parking from either highway--and it's way west of shore points. If you are on route 130, and are heading north, there's a better diner (in West Windsor) called the Americana, on the northbound side, just past the 571 crossing.
re: Sandi H.
Re: Mastoris Diner: I have been eating there for as long as I can remember and have never had a meal that I didn't like. Of course, the cheese bread is awsome - don't leave without buying a loaf to take home!
Re: A good place to eat at the Jersey Shore: For breakfast and lunch, you can't beat "The Breakfast Garden" in Sea Isle City. It's not a diner, but the food is excellent, cost is low, service is great. It's at 4507 Landis Ave. in Sea Isle. Sea Isle City is just south of Ocean City and north of Avalon.
I agree with your Dad. It is one of the better diners. Trouble is they have too much on the menu (and on the plate).
When you sit down - they put cheese and cinnamon bread on the table.
I like their caeser salad and also the grilled lamb kabob dinner.
Some of the plates are just average, but I've never had anything bad.
Hope this helps.
re: DavidK
Thanks for adding more info. My friend said she and her Dad especially love the cinnamon bread and cheese bread there.
Anything you get at Mastoris is great. But bear in mind that the portions are HUGE! And don't fill up on the bread - even though it's tempting. Sometimes there is a wait but it tends to move pretty fast; the place is really enormous.
We were there this past weekend. I had an appetizer that I couldn't possibly finish. Portions are huge. I had clams and sausage with sundried tomatoes and broccoli rabe over linguini. It was wonderful. We brought home a lot of bread that we are still savoring. Bring a cooler to fill with baked goods. Everything we got was exceptional.
re: Judi Loeb
I am from Kinston, NC. My sister-in-law brings her sister a carrot cake everytime she comes home from New Jersey. She will not be able to make it home for Thanksgiving. Is it anyway possible two cakes be sent by UPS or however you can send them to me? They are the best I have ever tasted. My plans are to visit her in New Jersey the first part of next year and I plan to dine at Mastoris while I am there.
re: betty jones
I think your best bet would be to phone Mastori's and ask them. Their number is (609)298-4650.
mastoris diner is awesome was raised in b town and i sure do miss the cooking its all chain food here in tampa everything is good there and you always have to leave with a doggie bag i used to order the seafood platter awesome my mouth is drooling now sure do miss it town and country is good also
Don't try to eat there on Holidays or make reservations, I made a reservation on Thanksgiving and still had to wait an hour and a half to be seated. The food and the service sucked. If you are in the area, do stop and buy one of their cheese breads, they are great.
Food is not good at all! What is good is the complimentary cheese/cinnamon danish bread served at table. What we do is order one breakfast which we SPLIT-it's enough with the danish. The rest of the food here is very ordinary diner food which is prepared better elsewhere-portions are large-so what.
re: IrvingB
IrvingB I agree.....Mastoris is just OK & typical to me....the menu gives me a headache to read also too many items too small print.....once in a while i like a drink & appetizers & the live music in the lounge......but agreed there is much better in the diner world in NJ. I enjoy the Iron Skillet for a change of pace.
re: Tapas52
Oh WOW! I cannot believe that someone recommended a Truck Stop Chain(!) over Mastories. A chain! a Truck stop one at that.
OK, so I do like Mastories. Would I call it a diner, heck no, the place is too large to be called that. The menu is huge, as in size, content and amount and we are talking the daily specials menu. The font (printing) is small and can be hard to read.
Where I think Mastories is outstanding is in it's wait staff (no bad server survives a full shift, I am sure) the butcher/meat specials and the prices.
Over the years, I have taken many people there; it is an easy and easy to find mid-way/meet point for my Philly connections ( I live in the NJ shore). From foodies to the whine-n-moaners; everyone liked it.
And I am very picky myself. One of my main rules is..if it's a huge multi-itemed menu, the food is all frozen or bad (I love when little all-in-one asian places that seat 10, and take out, have huge menus...yeah right like *that* food is fresh). At Mastories, just driving up, no matter when, you know this place has huge volume and the food has no time to not be fresh.
I have never had a bad steak at the place.
And as usual, your milage may vary, but enjoy the trip!
re: Quine
Have you tried the Iron Skillet? great comfort food & it is always packed also.....Truckers have to eat good also.....Mastoris is just an ok diner IMO like many of the rest of the glitzy, mirrored places, dont let the bells & whistles fool you...I've been there many times & its always the same typical diner fare nothing more. But your entitled to your opinion just please dont put down mine.
re: Tapas52
I'm with you. I like the Iron Skillet, and I'd go there before Mastoris (I don't like the cheese bread or the cinnamon bread). Yes, it's a chain, a truck stop and they have a buffet, but what's wrong with truck stops? Out West, truck stops are what diners are to Easterners. Anyway, the Iron Skillet is pretty much the only place I've ever been to in the state where I can get my beloved hash-browned potatoes instead of home fries. The crap at Cracker Barrell just doesn't count. It's also one of the very few places that serve up a chicken-fried steak. Even though we have to double back to get there, it's a regular stop when we make our montly trip to the Mt. Laurel Costco from Hamilton.
re: Citizen Rich
Is it a full buffet or just soup and salad bar and order off the menu (which is what the website indicates)? Went to Country Buffet last wk.---had little kids w/ us so everyone always wants to go there, and the food is awful. Was thinking Iron Skillet might be a better alternative.
re: Citizen Rich
Rich.....I agree with you ....the iron Skillet has 3 Buffets each day they change for breakfast/lunch/dinner & let me tell you the owners used to drive trailers around the country and never could find a decent meal or a place to sleep & shop or wash their clothes .....& thats why they opened ..its a very kool place like a Creme of the Crop truck stop....aside from the great buffet that also have a wonderful full menu ala cart also with all the favorites & the price is right also....try it you'll enjoy it!
re: Tapas52
Do you know how much they charge for lunch and dinner buffet?
Cinnamon or cheese bread from the front bakery. The snapper soup is my all-time favorite, but if you drive past there up the road a bit there's a pizza place that does amazing ground pork and buffalo sauce sandwiches they call Vamps
re: karenmusic
Mastoris Diner is the KING of all diners, worth the trip big HUGE place everything is made on premises
re: karenmusic
The danish you get before your meal is the best part. Like you said, Mastoris is convenient and there's something on the menu for everyone...but i've never had a meal there, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, that's been better than just average. It's more quantity than quality.
re: frackit
frackit I'm glad I'm not alone....to me regarding diners, smaller is better with more attention to the quality of the food with the Owner/ Chef doing the cooking not handing out menus.
re: Tapas52
Mastoris is a big menu with something for everyone. I've been going there for years, and our family members meet there pretty regularly because it's an easy meeting spot. But, like frackit said, I have also never had an exceptional meal there. It's really just average, though a few of their vegetable sides are yummy. You're not alone!
re: Tapas52
Yeah, I have breakfast there regularly. It's acceptable. But I've never raved about anything I got there - my lunches there have been decidedly "meh." For some reason my family (both sides) has almost ALL of its post-funeral lunches there. Go figure.
re: Heatherb
I went there recently but had a real craving for buffalo wings and decided to stray away from the Reuben (which my dining companion had and it was just "eh") and get me some! They were actually really good, crispy, spicy and served w/ homemade blue cheese dressing (which IMO makes all the difference in the world).
re: gbean
I can't figure out why they give you a Danish and cinnamon bread before the meal, which to me is breakfast fare........but anyway....I found if you order "diner food" like turkey dinner, meatloaf,steak, the food is very good. If you order something like Chicken Scarpariello, it's disappointing. Stick to the normal stuff and not the extravagant stuff and you'll be okay. I love their assortment of side dishes, but can never come close to finishing everything. I also find that it's pretty expensive. The entrees are no bargain. I'd much rather have a human sized portion and pay less.
re: JNUNZMAN
Yeah, the last time I went there for lunch, I got one of their specialty burgers. It was so huge and sloppy it just kinda fell apart and I had to eat it with a fork. I realize SOME sandwiches are meant to be eaten this way, but I really like to just be able to bite into a burger comfortably. The burger itself was tasty, but not spectacularly so.
re: JNUNZMAN
I agree about the prices. High, for a diner. Seems all the diners are just as expensive as regular restaurants now. That's not really what diners are all about.
re: njfoodies
How doesTown and Country compare? We almost went there over Mastori's last time.
re: gbean
T&C is almost like Mastoris food wise....hugh typical diner with bar disco mirrors etc, etc etc .....we really enjoy the Iron Skillet off 206 really good food, great prices & you eat out of a cast Iron Skillet also...

Not even close. Maybe that's the Kerry Special....
re: njfoodies
We always choose Wisdom Diner over Mastori's too. Good food and service. Mastori's portions are just ridiculous and it's $$$. I agree that I would rather have human portions and pay less. Never love the food at Mastori's either. My husband and I both ordered omelets, they were just okay and we ended up throwing most away. Also I think the first time we went I ordered a chicken cheese steak and it was not at all what I expected. Dry and large chicken breast pieces… not like a cheese steak, I was disappointed. There is a shared plate charge too if I remember correctly. Seems like a real waste of food, it's a shame.
re: care11
Wisdom diner is just past Mastori's on 206? I never noticed it.
re: Heatherb
I am kinda in shock. I had a really good meal at Mastori's last night. We found ourselves without dinner at nearly 10 pm last night, and knew that we would probably only get served a full meal at a diner at that point. The nearest options being the Golden Dawn (which is almost always inedible for anything but breakfast) or Mastoris (which I have previously dismissed as "meh"), we opted for Mastoris. Boyfriend had his go-to, Chicken Parm (why he orders this at diners, I will never know), and it was pretty good, though he did not like the sauce on the spaghetti (though the same sauce was fine by him on the chicken). I didn't try the sauce, but as he lived in Italy for two years, nothing he has found in America measures up to the ideal in his head, so I'm not convinced it was that sub-par. The faintest hint of sweetness in a sauce turns him off, for one thing. It came with a lovely colorful salad and a ranch dressing that I thought might be house made, though I could be wrong about that. Overall, his spaghetti sauce complaint aside, the boyfriend was very happy with his meal.
I ordered the filet mignon in marsala sauce with the Green Goddess salad, a baked potato and marinara green beans. The salad was, quite frankly spectacular. Pears, a vinaigrette, feta crumbles, and pecans over watercress. I literally ripped into it. My only caveat is that next time I will ask if they can prepare it with a different lettuce as the watercress is very difficult to eat - lots of stalks and whatnot, even though I really thought it tasted great. I am not a salad eater, but I could easily have ordered this as my meal. The filet mignon was probably something a true steak devotee would have been appalled by, but I enjoyed it. There were four large medallions of beef in a thick marsala sauce (which was kind of offputting, but did taste ok). The filet was done perfectly, very tender and very flavorful, with not an ounce of excess fat on it. The green beans were not to my liking at all (very mushy, which I kind of expected), and the baked potato was just ok. Prices were high ($56 for the two meals with coffee, no other beverages) but the portions were large, the meat (beef and chicken) was also very high quality and we didn't mind paying a lot for a decent full-course meal that late at night.
Overall, I'd gone expecting unappetizing dining options (haven't been there for anything but breakfast and lunch in years) and was more than pleasantly surprised. I will go back and sample more items that are in the same vein from the menu, probably. I think this is definitely my late-night dining place now. I still have a long list of pretty bad dishes I have had there, but I'm willing to explore the Mastori's menu a bit more to find their strengths. I suspect also that the time of day might have had something to do with it . We were there after the main dinner crowd but well before people from the bars started showing up, so the kitchen wasn't inundated at all.
Oh - and the service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and friendly.
re: Heatherb
I ate there last Saturday. I wonder how many funerals they caused?
THE BEST DINER, hands down. Huge portions, warm cinnamon and cheese bread.
If you want a great experience, this is it!! :)
It's been quite a while since we have been to Mastori's, so I figured we'd give it a whirl yesterday. Bad choice! The parking lot was totally filled, and the buses were rolling in as we walked up to the door. Walked into the lobby and it was packed with people. When I asked if we could put our name in, the lady behind the counter was a bit rude, but not as rude as the other waiter standing there. Gotta love Jersey Diner's! LOL! Needless to say, we left and went to the Wisdom Diner down the road as they had no idea how long the wait is, which is understandable when you have tour buses parked out front and mobs of people coming off of them. That said, no "Let's Talk Turkey" for me, but we'll go back another time! -mJ
re: njfoodies
Go late on a Sunday or a weeknight that isn't a holiday. Weekend lunches/brunches are a nightmare there. I highly recommend the Green Goddess salad. If they don't have it on the menu, they'll still make it for you if they have the ingredients. The Peachie Cheese Pie is also pretty darn yummy.
The food was horrible...and so much of it!
A waitress who never refilled the Iced Tea and water without flagging her down. The cinnamon bread (which I brought my daughter to the place for, as she love cinnamon buns) agreed it was like a rock (the cheesebread wasn't bad).
I haven't been there in about five years. I think the food was a remnant from my last trip.
Isn't a hamburger supposed to have a taste? Who needs it so big...we're not at Harold's Deli! Just serve a smaller one (that doesn't crumble like Roseanne Barr's crumbled meat)...and half the price.
My wife pronounces the name Mas-tor-ees...as if it was the possessive tense. I told her to skip the apostrophe. There is no catastrophe in the name. Just in the food, service and price. Isn't that enough?

re: MoxieBoy
MoxieBoy is correct. I've been to Mastoris 4 or 5 times & my food has ranged from mediocre to terrible. The place is way overrated, probably due to the huge portions & the (admittedly) tasty breads. The Americana, people, the Americana. Best omelets in the state. 10 miles up Rt. 130 in East Windsor.
