55 homes damaged

A woman was killed and seven other people were injured Tuesday in a gas explosion that http://www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-JERRELL-FREEMAN-JERSEY.html destroyed at least 10 homes in a Crockett Lane development. Tuesday, a major gas explosion in the South Fork housing development damaged 55 condominiums; completely obliterated one home and leaving nine others beyond repair.

A woman was also killed in the blast, and her body was found on top of a car that was parked near the site of the explosion as personnel were conducting a door to door search of the complex. Seven other people were injured as well, but their injuries are considered non life threatening, according to police.

There was a big boom, South Fork resident Rick Austell said Tuesday afternoon. My house shook, and we all thought a tree had fallen until we saw the smoke.

According to Lt. Ron Lunetta of Ewing Police Department, utilitiy workers from Henkels and McCoy were using a horizontal drilling machine to repair an electrical problem in the area when they struck what they believed to be a gas line. The workers then stopped digging and notified PSE

Police are unsure how much time lapsed between when the workers struck the gas line and when PSE arrived on scene. But they are sure of one thing: there was a large explosion. Tuesday.

Police say Erik Walden Authentic Jersey five PSE employees and two Henkels and McCoy workers were injured in the blast. The two Henkels and McCoy subcontractors were taken to Capital Health Medical Center in Hopewell and later released.

The five PSE employees were taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton, and two were expected to be released Tuesday evening. The other three were held overnight for observation with injuries ranging from broken limbs, soft tissue injuries and concussions. One worker underwent surgery for his injuries, according to hospital personnel.

The force from the explosion buckled windows in an apartment complex nearby, said resident Marsha Brown, and pictures fell from her walls.

It felt like a bomb, she said. www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-DARIUS-BUTLER-JERSEY.html

I was one of the only people there at first, South Fork resident Marsha Brown said. The house Erik Walden Jersey was completely engulfed, and flames were shooting everywhere. It took way too long for the fire engines to get here. There was a gas worker on the ground in shock, and he was crying. I saw about three people hurt. There was blood, broken legs, bruises cuts and gashes. I have never seen anything like that in my life.

My body was shaking. I like to say I am calm, but I was shaking, said Brown, who had a day off from her job as an infant hearing screener at a hospital. You could feel the flames, everything.

A resident of the complex, Bryan Gentry, drove home minutes after he heard an explosion and as he got closer, saw a black smoke cloud. The fire was intensely hot, he said, and he saw one person walking away from the fire who appeared to be stunned.

It was just unreal, he said, adding that emergency crews responded really fast.

In the wake of the disaster, stories of people helping other people emerged. One of them unfolded in a neighborhood near the scene. and heard a huge explosion, said John Sass. We didn t know whether a plane crashed or whatever.

Sass concern that it was a plane crash was warranted given their locale near the Trenton Mercer Airport. However, once Sass and his wife exited their home, it was clear that it wasn t a plane crash.

I got my wife out of the house and we noticed the flames (behind you, he told Trentonian photojournalist Jackie Schear), Sass said.

It was at that point Sass neighborly instinct kicked in. Sass and his wife welcomed families into their home after they spotted them standing in the cold, some with babies. Sass said he welcomed two or three families into his home until they could catch up with relatives. Sass said that the people he took in finally met up with family in Flemington.

The Mercer County Department of Transportation and the Mercer County Park Commission were called on scene to supply portable light fixtures to aid in the search and Vontae Davis Elite Jersey rescue effort. And Mercer County Sheriff s Officers were also dispatched to the reception center at the West Trenton Fire House, where displaced residents were sent until law enforcement deemed the neighborhood safe for re entry.

Firefighters from Pennington, Hopewell and Hamilton assisted in extinguishing the blaze. And Trenton EMS provided Vontae Davis Limited Jersey support as well.

Are We Watching The End

I have a "lifetime" subscription to Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) that I purchased for $500 when Sirius announced it was signing Howard Stern for $500 million. At the time, which was back in late 2003 if I recall, I was still a "Howard" fan and did not want to miss out on his new "no holds barred" radio venture. He promised to put satellite radio on the map, bring his fans, and have folks flocking to sign up for the service.

I was hooked. I believed in the new style of radio, and I believed that Sirius would make me filthy rich with the 10,000 shares of stock I bought. I just knew that Mel Karmazin could and would deliver on anything he promised, and believed that the company's spending spree was chicken feed compared to the profits that would be made with "billions" of new subscribers paying monthly fees. I believed that every car on the planet would have satellite radio, and that the sky was the limit. Actually there WAS no limit. All without having to listen to another radio commercial and not losing my signal to my favorite channel no matter where I was driving to.

Did I mention that the actual satellites had a shelf life (that I Rob Gronkowski Jersey completely ignored) and would need to be replaced eventually at amazingly high costs?

Ok, so these were all just little bumps in the road right? After all, Sirius was going to take over the world. Little did I know then but the share price would never reach 1/2 the price I had paid for it again. If not for deftly trading around my shares with options and timing trades, I would have lost a small fortune. I now do not own one share of the stock. I do know plenty of folks who have bought all the way down, up, sideways and down again. They have shares coming out of their ears and still believe that Sirius XM will finally pay off.

Get over it. It ain't happening.

Don't misunderstand, satellite radio will still be around in some form or another, and the basic idea will be alive somewhere, and my lifetime subscription might be redeemable for something else down the road. The issue is whether an investor in Sirius XM will ever see any sort of capital appreciation in the short, medium and or long term.

In my humble opinion, shareholders are toast. If the entity called Sirius XM does not go bankrupt, the share officialpatriotsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-TOM-BRADY-JERSEY.html price has certainly been capped, basically for good.

Two very public reasons for this can be looked at:

Mel Karmazin is Julian Edelman Limited Jersey selling shares

Liberty Media (NASDAQ:LMCA) is buying shares

Good old Mel had arranged for the sale of the 13 million+ shares he held options on at $.43/share well before and everyone knew about it. But Mel is a pretty smart guy would he have filed for a change of status if he felt the share price would move higher? I have no idea, but he sold the shares. Securities and Exchange Commission. Karmazin exercised his option on the shares for 43 cents per share, or a total price of $5.89 million. Karmazin then sold the same shares for $1.99 per share, netting a profit of $21.31 million in the transaction. Karmazin still holds 8.5 million shares valued at $15.56 million Rob Gronkowski Limited Jersey based on Thursday's close of $1.83 per share. Shares closed Friday at $1.88 per share.

I have a feeling that the balance of his shares will be dumped sooner than later. After all, he did sell a huge chunk back in April also, right? (Yep, nearly 6 million shares) So what does this tell me. It tells me that Mel is cashing out, period.

Liberty Media is the big dog now with almost 50% ownership of all outstanding shares, and has effectively put a cap on the share price at $2.15/share, as it continues to buy more shares to have "de facto" control over the entire company.

The officialpatriotsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-DOMINIQUE-EASLEY-JERSEY.html article notes:

Liberty Media Corp. has been attempting to gain a controlling stake in Sirius XM Radio and may make a push to acquire more shares before Sirius' annual shareholder meeting on May 22. Previously, Liberty Media had considered acquiring 300 million more shares of the company at a price of $2.15 per share.

Does anyone think that the share price will rise above $2.15 from this point forward? I do not believe anyone will be buying ANY shares and if they do, it might be to trade quickly, not to invest in a capped share price stock. By the way, there is no bottom until zero folks.

Check out this CNBC article for some further insight as to my opinion. If that's the case, why should anyone else? I think the answer to this question will become very apparent in the coming days and weeks. My suspicions tell me one clue will Julian Edelman Womens Jersey be more insider sales specifically from CEO Mel Karmazin, who I'm expecting to sell more of his 49 million options at some point this week. As I have said recently, there is a great chance that the stock will hit $1.65 within the next several sessions in other words, this is bound to get worse before it gets better.

An 'Adventure' For Kids And Maybe

An 'Adventure' For Kids And Maybe For Their Coby Fleener Jersey Parents

Count plenty of grown ups among the millions of fans of Adventure Time, a kids' show on Cartoon Network. Some are surely Emmy voters. (It's won three.) Others are very possibly stoners. Still others are intellectuals. Lev Grossman falls in the last category. He wrote two best selling novels, The Magicians and The Magician King, and he's Time's senior book critic.

Grossman's critique http://www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-PAT-MCAFEE-JERSEY.html of Adventure Time? "It's soooo smart! It's sooo intelligent!"

"I am a little bit obsessed with it," Grossman continues. "It's Coby Fleener Authentic Jersey rich and complicated the way Balzac's work is, which is a funny thing to say about a cartoon."

For the uninitiated, Adventure Time is set in a surreally pastel post apocalyptic kingdom crawling with mutated candy creatures, bizarre princesses think Slime Princess and Lumpy Space Princess and our two heroes. They're Finn and Jake, a gangly human boy and his moon eyed yellow dog.

The show's creator, Pendleton Ward, modeled Jake partly after Bill Murray's sardonic camp counselor in the 1979 movie Meatballs, a cooler than cool older brother figure who can laugh at his charges without being mean and whose teachable moments are anything but cloying.

"Jake sees his own death in one episode," says Ward. "And Finn has to deal with that. Jake's a hip guy. He can watch his own death, and he's comfortable with it, and that's a weird thing, especially for Finn, who's superyoung, and it's really hard on him."

In the episode, called "New Frontier," Jake experiences a vision during which he's taken to an afterlife of stars and darkness by a little bananalike creature (voiced by Weird Al Yankovic).

"When I die, I'm gonna be all around you," Jake reassures Finn. "In your nose. And your dreams. And socks! I'll be a part of http://www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-CORY-REDDING-JERSEY.html you in your earth mind. It's gonna be great!"

"That episode was really tough to tackle, writing it for a children's television show," Ward remembers. "It was hard for us to really not make it so sad and scary that you feel really sad and scared watching it."

Adventure Time insists on emotional honesty even in its bad Adam Vinatieri Authentic Jersey guys, usually depicted as cardboard villains in kids' cartoons.

Grossman offers the shrill, socially maladapted Earl of Lemongrab as an example. An unlikable character, his story is movingly explored and raises questions nearly every kid has wondered about: Why do I seem weird to other people? Why do I seem weird to myself?

Or take the buffoonish, bandy legged and morally compromised Ice King. "[He's] psychologically plausible," Grossman observes. "He's an old lecherous man who has a magical crown. It's made him into this strange, awful individual who goes around capturing princesses."

The king's crown wiped his mind and warped his body. He'll die if he takes it off.

"Which is this rather moving tension, and he doesn't remember who he used to be, but other people do," Grossman says. "It's very affecting. My dad has been going through having Alzheimer's, and he's forgotten so much about who he used to be. And I look at him and think this cartoon is about my father dying."

In spite of the critical admiration, the warm feelings of fans and the prestigious awards, Adventure Time nearly never aired. "It actually felt like a great risk," says Rob Sorcher, the Cartoon Network's chief content officer. "It's not slick. It doesn't feel manufactured for kids, so who's it for?"

Um, perhaps partly for the kind of grown up who might watch Yo Gabba Gabba with a little chemical assist?

"For me, it doesn't come from that place," says Ward. "For me, it comes from my childhood, wandering in my mind. You can't really go anywhere when you're a kid. I don't have a car, I don't have anything. I just have my backyard and my brain. And that's where I'm coming from when I'm writing it." He pauses.

"It's really important for us to have something we can enjoy together and talk about together. It gives us in some ways a common language for talking about more important issues," he says.

Adventure Time's world used to be our world. Then it was destroyed by a war. It's strewn with detritus such as old computers, VHS tapes and video games from the 1980s.

"It takes my childhood, the shattered pieces of it, and builds it into something new, which is now part of Lily's childhood," he says, almost Adam Vinatieri Elite Jersey in wonder.

6 factors to finding the best ereader for your needs with video

Did you know Vancouver Public Library has a large collection of e books available to members? Watch this easy how to video with reporter Gillian Shaw.

Choosing an ebook reader used to be easy.

If you wanted a device that would let you download electronic books and carry around your own Dominique Easley Jersey personal library you could buy a Kindle. And back in 2007 when Amazon introduced its first Kindle, you could only buy it in the United States.

But the ereader market has grown and today ereaders come in a wide range of prices, functions and features.

And competition in the fast growing tablet market has also prompted a number of hybrid devices from ereader makers, expanding Tom Brady Authentic Jersey the choice for consumers even more.

Most recently Amazon announced that its Kindle Fire, that company's answer to the ereader/tablet hybrid market, is available for pre order in Canada with shipping to start June 13.

While predictions vary, with some analysts suggesting ereaders will be edged out by tablets, last December's holiday sales tallied by the Pew Research Centre found that ebook reader ownership jumped to 19 per cent from 10 per cent among adults in the United States.

Libraries are seeing growing Tom Brady Limited Jersey demand for ebooks. Vancouver's Public Library hosts workshops on buying an ereader and how to electronically borrow books, whether it's for an ereader, tablet or other computing device.

"Every year in the past few years the borrowing of ebooks has more than officialpatriotsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-JEROD-MAYO-JERSEY.html doubled," said Christina de Castell, director, resources and technology for the library. "We're now lending 600 ebooks a day, which works out to more than 133,000 books in 2012.

"That is about 10 per cent of print borrowing for a similar type of book."

de Castell said the trend at the library is similar to the consumer market although it has been somewhat slowed because some major publishers including Macmillan, Simon and Schuster and Penguin don't have titles available for libraries in Canada although that is expected to change next year.

"The supply has vastly improved," she said of the library's ebook resources. "On popular books, there is maybe a wait with one or two people and a lot of books you can borrow right away.

"We monitor waiting lists very closely and when it gets to more than six we buy more."

de Castell said people download books to a variety of devices including ereaders and tablet computers such as iPads and others.

As an avid reader and iPad owner, at first I didn't see the point in buying yet another tablet device but two factors convinced me that an ereader was worthwhile. The screen on an ereader is e ink, making it more like reading from a printed page than a computer screen. And while it may not be that the bright screen on my iPad keeps me awake if I read before I go to sleep, research suggests the glow from backlit screens could contribute to insomnia. Added to that is size and weight I don't need the heft and screen size of my iPad for reading a book.

But it wasn't until I interviewed Michael Tamblyn, Kobo's chief content officer, that I realized exactly why the one device fits all scenario wasn't working for me.

"Even though people have a camera in their cellphone, people who really care about photography have a high end digital SLR," he said. "It is sometimes simplistic to say all of this is going to converge in one device."

But while all this choice is great for consumers, how do you decide which ereader is the one for you?

There is no one size fits all. The ereader that your mother in law loves may not be best suited to you and you may hate the one everyone in your book club is raving about.

While price shouldn't be the determining factor, as a starting point you have to look at ereaders that fit your budget. If you have no preset spending limit, skip this step. Just don't think that more expensive necessarily means better for your needs. If you already have a tablet computer, the most basic ereader may all you want. There are a number of ereaders that fit in the sub $100 category and some options include:

The six inch Kindle, e ink display, Wi Fi connected at $80

Kobo mini at $80 and the Kobo touch at $100.

Sony's Reader at $100

Here are six points to consider in choosing the best ereader for your needs.

1. Dominique Easley Limited Jersey Can you try before you buy?

While some shoppers headed south to pick up the Kindle before it was available here and also the Barnes and Noble Nook, unless you are absolutely certain of what you want, it's best to try before you buy. While you can compare all the specs and dimensions without actually seeing the devices picking up a demo unit, checking the screen, figuring out if it fits in your (man) purse or pocket all this is important in helping to make your decision.

2. Form and Function

Compare factors like weight and screen size. Is it a colour screen, touchscreen, e ink display or LCD? Are officialpatriotsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-DEVIN-MCCOURTY-JERSEY.html the controls intuitive or do you feel like you have to read the manual just to download a book?

5 Ways Jerrell Freeman Authentic Jersey Yoga

5 Ways Jerrell Freeman Authentic Jersey Yoga Can Boost Athletic Performance Muscle Fitness

Ahh, yoga. Crunchy, serene, woo woo yoga. But we've got news for you: It's not just for hippies or girls in yoga pants anymore just ask the Seattle Seahawks. If you think yoga is a waste of your precious lifting time, think again. Developing a steady practice can www.coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-ERIK-WALDEN-JERSEY.html actually help you get stronger.

The dirty truth of the matter is that putting your body through any repetitive movement (even weightlifting) will eventually create muscular imbalances and lead to injury. So hard chargers take note: Incorporating yoga into your existing routine might be exactly what your body needs in order to improve.

Flexibility keeps muscles and joints safe. Chances are, if you've just been using the same muscles for repetitive movements, they're going to be pretty tight. Top flight bodybuilders and dedicated weekend warriors alike love a good massage for this reason. Maybe you've even noticed a one rep max plateau, or a speed block. If a muscle is so tight that injury is imminent, your body will start to recruit other muscles to help out with certain moves. And if those muscles are undertrained, you're looking at a torn muscle and gasp down time. Elastic muscles and supple joints move more efficiently, recover more quickly and continue doing their jobs. Increasing your flexibility will also increase range of motion, which means an increased power output due to greater muscle recruitment, and more efficient movements.

2. Better Muscle Darius Butler Limited Jersey Function

Yoga is a lot of things but it is basically all about breath and movement, movement and breath. To fully be present and to full articulate each posture in yoga, a strong, focused breath is essential. Doesn't hurt that it tames busy brain or helps take the edge off your pre workout drink. Getting in touch with your breath can help establish better breathing patterns and access parts of your respiratory system that you didn't even know you could control. Get ready for more efficient oxygen intake, more complete exhalation, and better muscle function. Hello, gains. Goodbye muscle fatigue, symptoms of asthma, ragged breathing, and side stitches. Just like you wouldn't restrict precious nutrients and protein from your muscles, you should also be feeding your muscles with more delicious blood flow and oxygen. This is also certain to develop positive respiratory habits that you can carry into the rest of your training endeavors.

3. Mental Toughness

One of the biggest benefits of yoga is its emphasis on the connection between body and mind. Whether through meditation, or through the holding a headstand for an extended period of time, your mental toughness and focus are likely to improve. This might be the hardest benefit to achieve but once you begin to get your head in the game the benefits are almost unlimited.

4. Control

"Pull your belly button to your spine," "feel your lungs expanding," "roll down your spine, one vertebrae at a time," are all common phrases in yoga classes. It's this constant cueing to pay attention to the smallest of sensations that helps build the neurological connections between our brains and our muscles (See No. 3). Yoga builds body awareness, and this can help you analyze your form during your workout to both optimize your lifting techniques, and help prevent compensation based injury. Again, this carries over into your normal cadre of sets and reps: the better you are able to "connect" mind and muscle, the more focused (read: efficient) each rep will be. Tough to think about the burn when you're laser focused on the effort.

5. Darius Butler Colts Jersey Active Recovery and Muscle Repair

Active recovery typically means a light workout on an off day. These low key days are a perfect way to slide yoga seamlessly into your schedule. Using specifically yoga as a form of active recovery can actually repair muscle fibers more quickly than other common forms, as the combination of stretching and relaxing muscles encourages blood flow to broken down muscle tissues. Do Jerrell Freeman Limited Jersey yoga, lift again sooner.

If you think yoga is just for slim, prissy girls with hot yoga pants on, think again. A great many of you out there likely have at least some familiarity with yoga through your TV ordered set of P90X DVDs. Through yoga, you learn to control your body and your mind. And when it comes to building a stronger, leaner, more functional physique, that coltsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-VONTAE-DAVIS-JERSEY.html control can truly provide next level results. She began seriously practicing yoga five years ago on board a ship traveling from Brazil to Namibia and it's been a part of her fitness regime ever since.
