"Same Old JR"
JR is up to his old tricks out in LA mugging for the camera and getting concussions. He notched his 11th career concusion earlier this preseason. Perhaps thats why he agreed to be on Last Call with Carson Daly (airing tonight as in THursday).

"The Spork"
Most fast food restaurants like KFC give you a spork to eat your mashed potatoes. For those of you that don't know a spork is the combination of a fork and a spoon. So, you have all the scooping action of a spoon, and the ability to stab thing with small prongs on the end of the utensil.
My generation is raised on fast food, and of course is totally famliar with the concept of a spork. Yet, I have never seen it in kitchen ware form. Meaning, it never comes with a dinning set. I have never seen them made of anything over than plastic.
I mean sets come with, pickle forks, cake forks, gravey spoons and soup spoons. Yet the spork has yet to make the leap into the dinning sets. I mean not that I always wish I had one, but if I had the choice of a set with a spork, and one without sporks. I tell you what im going for the spork.
Why no sporks?

"Super Sunday: Special Editions?!?!"
Rumor has it that since there will be a new superman movie out next year. That warner brothers will re-issue all the DVDs that Christopher Reeve starred in as two disc special editions.
This could be interesting if its actually true. Because, we would find out if the Marlon Brando footage from Superman II was really "lost" or destroyed". Also we may finally find the truth if the original cut of SupermanIV was destroyed. The movie bombed so bad with test audiences that the studio cut well over 30 mins of fotage. Leaving a movie that makes no sense in many parts.
I can't imagine what more they can do with the first film since they added a lot with the release a few years ago. All eyes will be for what is released for Superman II and Superman IV. I can't imagine what they will do with Superman III. I would like them to delete the scene where Richard Pryor falls off the 400 story sky scrapper just for cheap laughs. But I doubt that will happen.
They would come out next year, but it might only be in the UK.
GO here for more details.

"Shootouts Galore"
In case you haven't heard by now the NHL will now have shootouts after 5 min 4 on 4 OTS if there is not a winner.
The 2003-2004 season the Flyers went to OT 21 times and 15 of them were ties. Who ever wins the shoot out will be rewared a goal and say the game was 2-2, the winning score will read 3-2. Also, the goals scored won't count for players totals.
Anyway these shootouts will be not only fun to watch, but it will have a very big impact on the game and standings. There are no more ties, so games bettween divison rivals will ALWAYS SWING TWO POINTS. For example the Flyers fall to the Rangers. Thats 2 points the Rangers will gain on them if you add the point the rangers got and the one the Flyers failed to get.
What will happen is the shootouts will force another "special team" in addition to the PK and PP units. PLayers will be hand picked by coaches in order to help put the game away. Players like Mario Lemuiex will still be a huge threat. Yeah he is 40, but come on what goali still wants to face super Mario on a break way shot?
Coaches are going to have to consider who to dress and GMS who to keep. Players like Sami Kappanen might go up in value. He is not Brett Hull, but that man has got some serious moves that will come in hand when faking the goalie out of his skates and putting the puck in the net.
This will allow more exposure for the superstars too. Highlight reels on ESPN every night will have a close up the player going in for the kill.
The toughest thing is going to be goalies trying to deal with this. It will be their worst nightmare. Even the best goalie in the world will have trouble with the shootouts. Take the skills competition for example. Its a very low percent of pucks that are stoped.
Also teams that are defensive minded are going to be in trouble after OT ends and the shootout out beings. Look at the Penguins roster compared to the Devils. The devils will be slightly better team this year, with better goaltending thatn the penguins, but the penguins will smoke the Devils in a shootout. The Devils do have Elias and Mogliny (I consider Friesen more of sniper and there for less of a threat). The Penguins have Mario, Sid Crosby, Sergi Conchor Mark Recchi, Ziggy Palffy and Ryan Malone.
In order to get the coachers and players used to it. The NHL is having shootouts for every single preseason game regardless of the score.

"The Plan..."
I just realized that the last comment was #666 for Tucker's World! How EVIL!!!!!!!
Anyways here is the plan for the Echelon Area. Or at least someone who can draw a lot better than me's vision of the new area. Laurel Road is not the one that turns into White Horse Road, it is just another street near the mall with the same name.
THe Anchor stores on the "slimed down" mall confuse me a bit, if they plan to keep Strawbridges (soon to be Macys) and Boscovs. They look like they are misplaced.
I dont know where all these people are going to park.
CHECK HER OUT.

"PREIT Plug on Wal-Mart Plan
ECHELON MALL COULD BE DEAD OFFICALLY BY THURSDAY
The people of the Voorhees who feared a Wal-Mart bringing in to much traffic to their area can breath a sigh of relief. Yes, instead of a Wal-Mart they will be getting an addition street in that section of town in addition to 100s o new residents who will live there in new condos. So, yeah all the people living there and street with a purpose for people to drive on to pull up to stores is really going to..um not be any traffic problem...er..yeah.
PREIT has said they are waving the white flag and giving up on the Wal-Mart. They were to purpose for the millionth time to the people of Voorhees their plan to have a Wal-Mart, Resturants, a new stores. The people had already planned to yell an scream about how much Wal-Mart sucks.
Instead they plan to according to the mayor "present the town with more of town center". Kind of like a mainstreet (who cares if that entire concept flopped)that you can drive up to the stores and resturants and park. They claim the mall will be cut back to the original 1970 blue print. Back in TL's mall rat days when there was no Pennys or Sears.
The new bedroom apartments of the condos will go for a mere 1,200. They even were nice enough to promise no section 8, or low income homes.
Thursday the concept will be presented, and likely in the papers the next day, so I will try to provide a link to it. I don't really understand how other stores and condos are going to help the remains of the mall.
I was right about the condos, and if im 100 percent right. PERIT will offically sign the Mall's death warrent in 48hrs. The mall will be town down down completly and there will be no mall.
So, as long as the new residents are really quiet, dont drive trucks, the construction is done with silent hammers, people don't actually want to go to the "town center", than the people of Voorhees will get their quiet traffic free neighborhood they were fighting for.
For more details go to todays Courier ARticle.

"Ophelia to Hit NC; Move Up Coast"
After a few days of hovering near Florida Hurricane Opheila is finally moving. Now near the Carolinas it is expected to make landfall late this Tuesday.
After hit makes landfall they expect it to veer off to the north east, but the effects of it will be felt in NJ. Wheather it be just high winds and rough surf at the beach, or more remains to be seen.
Either way its going to make its presence known to the garden state.
Track Map
Meanwhile Hurricane Maria and Nate went spinning out into the colder water of the Atlantic, and won't bother anyone.

"Al Qaeda Warns of LA Attack"
As if its bad enough that I have to see the date 9/11 all day, I wake up this morning to check the Drudge Report (one of 5 websites I actually look at), only to find that some lovely American turned Islam extremist is threatening Los Angles on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The guy apperenlty lived in California, and got into a obviously dangerous crowd. This isn't the first time that he made a tape for his Al Qaeda employers. However, its rare that they usually pick out a city be name and tell us basically putting the city on edge
"Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne, God willing. At this time, don't count on us demonstrating restraint or compassion,"
Check out ABC online for the story and video.
After the hurricane do people feel less safe due to what they feel was a slowed effort for help? Does anyone else think this terrorist looks a little too much like Subway's Jared?

"Gilligan Gone"
BOB DENVER 1935-2005
Bob Denver who played Gilligan on Gilligan's Island passed away earlier today.
Despite the fact that the show only ran for 3 seasons, it seemingly never has left the air. The cartoonish lovable buffon of a character that Denver protrayled still entertains kids to this day.
A few month ago I was at store on the board walk that sold through back stuff to old shows. They have a plague with the cast of the show and facts about the shows run. Two little kids ran over all excited yelling.
"Gilligan!"
So, I guess kids still watch the antics of the castways much like I did through reruns during teh summer and days when you are home sick from school.
Denver apprently died of a combination of treatment for cancer in addition to having heart surgery earlier this year.
Yeah, Denver may have been type casted after that, and in fact the only work he really got after the show ended were TV movies, about the castways. At the same time his character will still be falling into the lagoon entertaing kids for generations as if it was a new show.
For the record Ginger, Mary-Ann and the Professor are the only living cast members.

"Get Well Brody"
I only recently learned a few weeks ago that actor Roy Scheider was dignosed with cancer in June. He under went bone marrow transplant to treat multiple myelnoma which is from what I understand a cancer of the plasma cells.
Scheider is likely best known for play Cheif Martin Brody in Jaws and its first sequel. This put him on the list of "Keith's actors" (anyone interested in my providing an actual list?) and gave him one of AFIS most memoriable lines.
"Were going to need a bigger boat"
In addition to Jaws, he also played in well regared 70's films The French Connection, Marathaon Man, and All that Jazz. Other movies you may know him from are 2010, 52-Pick Up and the Rainmaker.
TV people might know him from his short lived tv show Seaquest.
Does anyone know anything about this form of cancer? THat could shed some light on his chances of a full recovery?
Roy seemed to be in good spirits when a months ago when the story broke (where the heck was I?).
"It went well. They harvested my stem cells. I was my own donor. I won't be bouncing around like I usually do this summer. I'll be weak. I'll be recovering. But, to all those wishing me well, thank you very much." --he told the NY post in June.
Hang in there Brody, remember Hooper drives the boat and Jersey Pride!

"Ken Riddle 1980-2005"
This might be a point of interest to some of my readers who may not have heard at this point, or a few whose emails I dont have. A classmate of mine (and many of my friends and readers) was killed in car accident over a week ago. My friend Jessica was able to find his death notice.
Memoriam: Dr. Kenneth Levar Riddle 1980-2005Dr. Kenneth Levar Riddle, whose soulful tenor voice glorified the Lordthrough the gift of gospel music, has passed from his earthly life,through the Grace of God, into the eternal life promised in HolyScripture.A native of Alexandria, Virginia, Dr. Riddle, affectionately known as"Kenneth" to his family, friends, fans, and his fellow members of TyeTribbett and Greater Anointing, will be missed by all.

Riddle. He received his early educationin the City of Cincinnati, Ohio, and completed High School in theState of New Jersey.

"Underwater Buses"
A lot of heat has come down on the federal government, about not reacting in time to save the people who were socked by Hurricane Katrina.
However, what about the Mayor and the Governor?
Check out these pictures of buses that just sat there and are now under water and useless.
There were tourists who could not leave, because all the cars were rented. Why on Earth, didn't the mayor or for that matter any state officials use these since they had a mandatory evacuation?
It didn't help that almost no one batted and eye till the President finally told them to get the hell out of there.
There is no reason for these busses to have gone to waste.

"Katrina's Chaos"
When I heard this happened, I honestly had to look up who Kayne West was. I had heard the name, but had no idea who he was. Apparently, he is rapper and I guess a popular one.
From Yahoo News
Comedian Mike Myers was paired with West for a 90-second segment that began with Myers speaking of Katrina's devastation. Then, to Myers' evident surprise, West began a rant by saying, "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."
While allowing that "the Red Cross is doing everything they can," West who delivered an emotional outburst at the American Music Awards after he was snubbed for an award declared that government authorities are intentionally dragging their feet on aid to the Gulf Coast. Without getting specific, he added, "They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."
In addition to the heart breaking stories of life lost and seeing the city look like something after the catylism. It makes me sick, hear we are nation trying to help Iraq to be more collapsed, and we look like a bunch of animals torching buildings and raping women. In addition, to surprised the world watching how rocked we have been by a Hurricane.
Osama must be doubled over laughing some place.

All, I can say is this kind of crap disgusts me. Before, you go off saying Keith hates free speech, let me explain. There is a time and a place. I am sure WEst has the ability to get his views out there. If he doesn't he ought to fire his agent.
What kind of egotistical piece of turd turns a live benefit into their own political soap box? Please. You weren't asked to rant and rave, you were asked to help raise money. For his information National guardsman WERE BEING SHOT AT.
Response may have been slower than needed, but than again I was not there. I am not sure how difficult it was to get into a town where all the bridges were wiped out. I certainly don't see their waiting a justification for burning buildings or rapping innocent women.
Later he stated, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," the camera cut away to comedian Chris Tucker

"Katinas Wrath"
I have been super busy lately. So, there have been no updates. I am sure since I am such a weather buff, and usually blog about hurricanes people were looking here to see what I wrote. I had lots of long hours at work, so its been rough to blog.
Well, what can you say? They are saying the death toll could be in the thousands. The storm was just insane by hurricane standards. Its rare for Cat 5 to hit, and it was easily one of the worst places in the country for it to hit. Considering New Orleans is below sea level.
What can be done for the soaring Gas prices? To fix the floods?
I really wanted to post a video of the man who lost his wife in the floods, but for the life of me. I could not find it online. CNN has it, up its just random commericals. I am really starting to hate online news sites.
Anyway, if anyone can find it that and post he URL that would be great. Anyone has an interesting stories they saw on the news that would be good too.
Its just insane, how bad it was. The prime of the hurricane season is just starting.

"4 More Years?!?"
According to a high profile general if the new Iraq constitution isn't signed ready soon, and the elections aren't held shorly after that troops could be in Iraq till long after Bush leaves office. Worst case, they will have over 100,000 soliders in Iraq for four more years.
He didn't even imply that they would be totally out of the country. Democrats are urging a total withdrawl from the country. Their counterparts take issue claiming it would have been a defeat if they just pull out now.
Is there any end in sight?

"Echelon Life Line"
The lastest battle in the Echelon Wal-Mart took place last week. PREIT has a 30-day extention to get their Wal-Mart plan approved. It approved once, than it turned out it wasn't done right so they Mall was set back yet again.
In the mean time the Mall has slipped farther into a coma. Nathans pulled out of the food court. In addittion Fredericks of HOllywood (or was it the other one?) pulled out.
The people that are against the Wal-Mart think they have a better idea. They want an a main street type place. With a place for people to walk and ride bikes with some offices, shops and resturants. Basically, they are trying to be like Collingswood. The didn't mention trying to attract a large amount of homosexuals to compete with Collingswood though.
I don't know if anyone from these protest groups have any business background at all. So, it comes off pretty comical that they tell the company with a proven track record with malls to do with their investment.
Anyway, with Mainstreet, and the Ritz and Eagle shopping centers I don't really see this being a big better plan.
Its very likely that the tug of war will end in an empty mall for many years to come. Perhaps sometime in September the Wal-Mart war will finally come to and end. ITs been over a year since the whole plan frist came to light.
