The Golden State Warriors are expected to retain shot-blocking big man JaVale McGee as they begin the process of trimming down the roster to 15 players.
The Warriors are still reeling from the losses of Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights, the trio of big men from their historic 73-win team.
McGee was initially called upon as part of the training camp roster. However, there were no guarantees that he would make the regular season roster.
But McGee has impressed the Warriors coaching staff during the ongoing preseason and could very likely make the final roster.
“I think he’s got a good chance (of making the roster). He’s had a good camp,” said coach Steve Kerr.
During Saturday’s preseason game between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers, McGee finished with a tally of 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in just 14 minutes.
Golden State Warriors: Final roster set?
Besides his shot-blocking and rebounding, McGee has also impressed with his ability to set hard screens.
The Warriors offense is built around off-ball screens and ability to switch on defense. McGee, a seven-footer, has shown very good mobility for a big man.
If McGee were to make the final roster, he’d make a little over $700,00 for the 2016-17 season.
The shot-blocker has had to revive his image in the league after several disciplinary issues and injuries. Therefore even though it seems like he’s underpaid, McGee has the chance to get a big pay day next summer.
Last season, he averaged 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds from just 34 games with the Dallas Mavericks.
Despite his past woes, McGee was highly recommended by Andre Iguodala, who played with the big man in Denver.
“He (McGee) comes highly recommended by Andre (Iguodala), who played with him in Denver.
“I think this is a really good opportunity for him, because he’s playing with a talented group of players and a really good environment… in which there’s nobody like him on the roster,” Kerr said last month.
JaVale McGee: Underrated?
Recently, Iguodala told ESPN’s Ethan Sherwood Strauss that McGeee will prove a lot of critics wrong.
“Talk to some different people, GMs, front office people. He’s so much better than a lot of these guys who got paid this past year. Like, so much better.”
McGee will definitely fill a much-needed void in the Warriors roster. Many analysts feel Golden State’s lack of a rim protector could prove to be a decisive factor.
Even though Zaza Pachulia is a solid addition to the 5 spot, the Warriors are without a genuine rim protector this season.
McGee is battling Elliot Williams for the final roster spot.
If Javale McGee can keep his head down and play his role, the Golden State Warriors would be a much better team.

View Full Version : Leonardo DiCaprio and new twilight zone
10-21-2010, 10:50 AM
Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way have been developing a new TWILIGHT ZONE film and have brought a new writer on board. Jason Rothenberg will be writing a new draft of the screenplay. Rothenberg was a long time assistant who seems to finally be getting his big break in screenwriting.
10-21-2010, 05:41 PM
Sounds interesting...I loved the original Twilight Zone. I'll watch this when it comes out.
10-22-2010, 03:37 PM
How fucking awesome would it be if they used the exact same cameras, sound effects and music from the Rod Serling show for this upcoming movie???
P.S. There was a Twilight Zone movie in the 80's. Shit is awful.
10-26-2010, 10:10 PM
what?? This is my fav show ever and I am against anyone trying to remake anything twilight zone related,fuck this shit,if it aint by rod serlin (r.i.p),i don't want no part of it
10-26-2010, 11:46 PM
Hollywood has this addiction with ruining the legacy of anything and everything with their shitty remakes.
Have all the screen writers died off or something? Is it impossible to create new films or series?
10-27-2010, 06:47 AM
exactly, leave classics alone and start working on making new classics,this shit is an abomination

Ivory Coast came into the game needing a win after picking two points from their first two games in the African Cup of Nation 2017. Wilfred Zaha came close to scoring but had his effort from 12 yards parried away.
Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou came close with a fine header but could not find the net.

We know the release date of the OnePlus Ace. There are many indications that it will be another model of the Chinese brand with similar parameters, which does not mean that it is weak. The smartphone can be distinguished by, among other things, very fast charging. In addition, it will not differ much from other devices of this type.
- OnePlus Ace will be presented soon
- efficient MediaTek will be used onboard
- OnePlus Ace will have very fast cable charging
According to the latest leaks, the OnePlus Ace will work under the control of MediaTek Dimensity 8100. This is another model of this brand in which you will be able to find a MediaTek processor. It will probably work with a maximum of 12 GB of RAM. However, it is not known how much disk space will be available for files. The smartphone, on the other hand, will almost certainly support 5G networks.
However, little is known about the screen of this model. It will probably be made in AMOLED technology and will rather support Full HD + resolution. There should also be a higher refresh rate here, as this is already standard. It can be assumed that it will be 120 Hz.
In the case of the main camera, you can count on the OnePlus Ace to have a triple unit. At the moment, you can expect a basic camera with a 50 Mpix matrix. In addition, there should be an 8 Mpix ultra wide-angle camera and an “eye” dedicated to macro photos.
The battery issue is interesting. While the capacity of 4500 mAh is the norm, the cable charging speed of 160 W is far beyond the norm and on the plus side. Unfortunately, the smartphone will not have a classic headphone connector or a mechanical mode slider which is characteristic of most OnePluse.
The release date of the OnePlus Ace is known for this. It will officially take place soon, on April 21. Of course, in China. At the moment, there is no information about the price or possible availability in Europe.

Both the morning and afternoon trips today were fantastic! We started in the morning wondering if we would have to travel far to find the whales like we have in the past couple of weeks. Spending the day with wild animals, you never really know where they will be or what they will be doing. We happened to stop on one humpback, sooner than what we had expected! We quickly realized there were a number of whales in the area- maybe 10-15 humpbacks, as well as a few minke whales! We were able to spend time with whales we identified as W, Iris, Warrior, and Pele for most of the morning trip, including lots of feeding!
The afternoon was just as great. We saw a few of the same whales, and were also able to add Thread to the list, as well as Tornado and her calf. We were having a great time when this little whale breached right next to us, not once, but four times! We noticed mom bubble feeding nearby.
It was just amazing to be watching a couple of whales at one time, and to see so many in the background, near and far. Today’s trips were definitely a treat, and reminded us just how incredible these animals are.

Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale
The Mongolian steppe is no place for a woman to be alone. Dashti has been alone since the death of her mother and knows that as an orphan she needs to seek employment in the city. In the harsh environment of the steppe, people need to work together to survive. Dashti journeys to the city and learns to read and write as she trains to become a servant for the gentry.
On the day she meets her new employer, Lady Saren, Dashti finds out that her Lady is sentenced to seven years of confinement in a tower for refusing to marry Khan Khasar by her own father. At first Dashti is happy that she will have a place to stay and solid meals to eat but as the months go on she misses the sky and the fresh air. Rats infiltrate their food supply and her mistress’s episodes of sadness make Dashti wonder if they will survive the seven years in the tower.
Lady Saren has two suitors who visit her while she is in the tower. Unable to speak on her own, Saren orders Dashti to speak for her to her suitors. Khan Tegus gives them hope with his kind words and presents. However he seems to disappear when a second suitor, Khan Khasar visits the tower. Khan Khasar is the incarnation of evil and Dashti understands why her lady has refused to marry him. Grateful that they are safe from him in their tower, the two women are lulled into a false sense of security.
Will Dashti and Saren survive seven years in solitary confinement? Will someone come to save them? Will Khasar break into the tower and have Lady Saren? Will Lady Saren’s father have a change of heart and let them out? To find out read Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale.
Shannon Hale tells a familiar tale from a different perspective. Instead of Rapunzel letting down her hair so that her suitor may visit her, the lady in this story shies away from the attention of men. Dashti’s intelligence and independence makes her a great role model for young women. I’m a sucker for historical fiction and folktales and Shannon Hale masterfully intertwines the two to create a wonderful story. Be sure to catch this one when it’s out in September 2007.

Just a couple of tidbits as the Yankees get set for a weekend series with the Tigers in the Motor City:
1. Gary Sheffield  received a two-game suspension for losing his cool last Sunday night against the Mets:
“I think the decision by Bob Watson was absolutely wrong,” Yankees president Randy Levine said. “The entire incident was precipitated by what we know today to be a completely incorrect call and an overreaction by the umpire in ejecting Sheff from the game prematurely.”
(N.Y. Daily News )
Sheffield  will appeal the suspension.
5. Big shout out to our pal Steven Goldman  and his wife Stephanie on the birth of their second child, a baby boy named Clemens (named after Samuel, not Roger).
Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. Cliff and I will be in and around the tri-state area watcing the Yanks, so fall through if you like, we’ll be here.

Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina has barely missed a beat following her return from maternity break with a fearless approach amid the war in her country, world number four Jessica Pegula said ahead of their Washington Open quarter-final clash.
Svitolina returned at the Charleston Open in April following the birth of her daughter with fellow tennis player Gael Monfils and has produced stunning results despite the turmoil caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Pegula, from the United States, has beaten former world number three Svitolina twice in three previous meetings. But she expects a tough challenge against the fierce 28-year-old who made the Wimbledon semi-finals last month having reached the French Open quarter-finals in June.
“It’s going be a different match probably than the previous times I’ve played her,” Pegula told reporters.
“I can tell from watching her matches, I feel she has a new perspective. So many things going on in her life.”
Pegula received a bye in the Washington first round and beat Peyton Stearns 6-3 6-4 on Thursday, while Svitolina has taken out fifth seed Daria Kasatkina and former Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka.
“She’s come back and reset nicely. She’s been competing really well and playing very fearless,” Pegula added.
“We’ll see. It’s going to be a tough match. She’s been playing at a high level and I feel like she hasn’t really missed a beat coming back.”
Pegula, who has won titles in doubles alongside fellow American Coco Gauff this year, is chasing her third singles crown and first of 2023 following last season’s triumph in Guadalajara. The 29-year-old is no stranger to success in the US capital having won her maiden title there in 2019.
“I won my first title here with my coach in our first week together and since then we’ve just been rising and it’s been an awesome journey,” Pegula said on the WTA website. “That was a big turning point for me.”

ALAMO – Hidalgo County Sheriff’s deputies need your help to find a suspect still at large after an aggravated robbery attempt.
The unidentified suspect is one of three people who unsuccessfully tried to hold up an illegal gambling site north of Alamo.
One of the suspects killed was identified as 19-year-old Michael Daniel Garcia. The other was just 15-years-old.
Authorities said they’re still working to determine who owns the establishment.
The security guard in the case, 44-year-old Antonio Nieto, is not facing charges. Investigators are still working to determine if his use of lethal force was justified.


Rep. Helen Chenoweth wants a federal agency to speed its consideration of possible changes in air bag safety regulations.
On Nov. 26, 12-month-old Alexandra Greer of Boise was killed when the air bag in her mother’s car was triggered by a low-speed collision.
In testimony Thursday before a House subcommittee on transportation, Chenoweth said it was the first fatality caused by an air bag in Idaho.
In August, the American Automobile Manufacturers Association asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to write a rule to allow the power behind air bags to be cut by up to 35 percent without reducing their effectiveness.
“However it is my understanding (the agency) has not yet announced any determination on this rule request,” Chenoweth said. “I ask this committee to impress upon NHTSA the importance of this issue and the need to expeditiously consider new air bag regulations.”
Although she has no firm position on the issue, Chenoweth said Congress should study whether in certain circumstances car owners should be allowed to turn off air bags.
“I think we all recognize that traveling by automobile carries certain inherent risks. We cannot legislate away all of those risks. But we also recognize that government pressure - in the interest of public safety - played a crucial role in the development of air bags.”

“Today’s announcement offers nothing for women striving and working hard to take care of children, disabled and frail elderly relatives. The Chancellor spoke of investment in infrastructure, but failed to mention investment in social infrastructure, such as education and healthcare, which underpins women’s paid and unpaid participation in the economy.
Some of the measures announced today will have a disproportionate adverse impact on women’s income. For instance, ending national pay bargaining for teachers will have a greater impact on women who make up the majority of the teaching workforce. Furthermore, the below inflation uprating of benefits is particularly unfair to women because benefits make up a bigger proportion of women’s income than men’s. Read the full story

Timeline – World History Documentaries explains “The Great Viking Invasion from Denmark: “This landmark, high-end drama-doc tells the story of why Vikings chose to leave Denmark. With the help of dramatic re-creations and CGI, leading academics examine their actions and explain how cultural integration and the influence of Christianity allowed them to play a huge part in transforming Europe into what it is today.”
Timeline – World History Documentaries explains “How The Norsemen Became The Seafaring Vikings”: “For nearly 500 years the Norse people dominated the oceans, known by their remarkable ships and known for their death, destruction and burning down of anything in their way. They used sophisticated navigation methods and navigated safely over remarkably long distances. Relive the time when the Viking dragon – an emblem of terror and devastation – flew from the shores of Scandinavia, across seas and rivers, to the rest of Europe and beyond.”
Real Crusades History offers an insightful documentary entitled, “A Tour of the Viking Age”: “Take an incredible journey through the history of the Viking age. Perfect for student studying the period. Viking – the very word epitomizes adventure and ferocity. Though not the most technologically advanced culture of their period, the Vikings nevertheless saw more of the world than virtually any other group. The very Viking spirit drove them to constantly push beyond the next horizon.”
Real Crusades History has produced a stellar documentary on the Anglo-Saxon King Alfred the Great and his battles against the pagan Vikings: “Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons, came to power in the midst of a crisis for the Anglo Saxon Kingdoms of Britain. Viking attacks had escalated into full scale invasions, and King Alfred faced a series of devastating battles for the very existence of his kingdom. In this documentary, we look at Alfred’s rise to power, his epic clashes with the great Viking armies of 9th century Britain – including the Battle of Edington in 878, and his efforts at reforming and strengthening the Anglo-Saxon territories under his rule.”
The story of John Forbes Nash, the brilliant Princeton-educated mathematician, who struggled with mental illness was dramatized in 2001 in a film starring actor Russell Crowe as Nash. journalism professor Sylvia Nasar wrote an unauthorized biography in 1999. Erstwhile in 1994, John Forbes Nash, Jr. shared Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his work with game theory.
The Lorrha Missal (also called the Stowe Missal) was a book containing the texts of the mass and popular in Gaelic Scotland and Ireland. The first prayer below was prayed after the consecration (i.e., Words of Institution) and before the distribution. The second prayer was the post-communion prayer. It was at Lackeen Castle that the Lorrha Missal was found during restoration work at the castle in the 18th century. This illuminated manuscript was written mainly in Latin with some Gaelic in the late eighth or early ninth century, and it was annotated and some pages rewritten at Lorrha Monastery some time in the mid-11th century.
We believe, O Lord.
We believe we have been redeemed
by the breaking of Christ’s body,
and the pouring of his blood.
We rely on this sacrament for strength,
confident that what we now hold in hope,
we will enjoy in true fulfillment in heaven;
through our Lord Jesus Christ
who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit
now and forever.
We give you thanks, O Lord,
holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
for you have satisfied us
with the body and blood of Christ your Son.
In your mercy, O Lord,
let this sacrament not be for our condemnation or punishment,
but for our salvation and forgiveness,
for strengthening the weak
as a firm foundation against the dangers of the world.
With this communion forgive all our guilt,
and give us the heavenly joy of sharing in it;
through our Lord Jesus Christ
who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit
now and forever.
Voices of the Past narrates this retelling of Ohthere’s voyage to the White Sea, which he retold to his lord King Alfred. In the late Ninth Century a Norseman arrived at King Alfred of Wessex’s court. The stories he told the king were recorded for posterity by a court scribe. This is a retelling of that Ninth Century document recording the exploits of a Ninth Century resident of Norway’s northernmost province.
The Voyages of Ohthere and Wulfstan conveys certain travels attributed to Ohthere, whose detailed travelogue was included in King Alfred’s translation from Latin of the Compendious History of the World by Paulus Orosius (d. 420 A.D.) Ohthere was a Norwegian explorer, hunter, and trader who told the tale of his voyages north and east past the Kola peninsula to the White Sea. Ohthere was received in the court of King Alfred of Wessex.
The Old English text comes from Charles T. Onions, ed. Sweet’s Anglo-Saxon Reader in Prose and Verse, 14th Ed. (Oxford, England: Clarendon, 1959), lines 63-67, and was republished by Jonathan Slocum of the University of Texas at Austin Linguistics Research Center:

He said that the land of the Norwegians was very long and very narrow. All that a man can either graze or plough extends alongside the sea; but it is however in certain places very rocky; and wild moors lie to the east and above, beside the inhabited land. On the moors live Finns. The inhabited land is broadest to the east, and ever narrower further north. To the east it may be sixty miles wide, or somewhat more; and towards the middle, thirty or more. To the north, he said, there it was narrowest, so that it might be three miles wide towards the moor; the moor afterwards, in some places, (is) as wide as one might cross in two weeks; and in some places as wide as one might cross in six days.
Then alongside that land on the south, on the other side of the moors, is Sweden, as far as that land to the north; and alongside that land on the north, the land of the Cwena people. The Cwenas sometimes conduct raids against the Norwegians across the moor, sometimes the Norwegians against them. There are very large fresh-water lakes throughout the moors; the Cwenas carry their ships over the land onto the lakes, and from there raid the Norwegians; they have very small and very light ships.
Ohthere said that the district is called Helgeland, which he lived in. He said that no one lived north of him. There is a port in the south of that land, which one calls Skiringssal. He said that one could not sail there in a month, if one anchored at night, and each day had a favorable wind; and all the while he shall sail near land. To the starboard of him is first Ireland, and then the islands that are between Ireland and this land. Then this land continues until one comes to Skiringssal, and all the way on the port side (is) Norway. To the south of the Skiringssal a very large sea flows up into that land; it is wider than any man is able to see across. Jutland is on the other side, opposite, and thereafter Zealand. The sea extends many hundreds of miles up into that land.

For military history buffs I found this interesting as it came out this past month. Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on Modern Warfare offers an narrated exposition of the beginning of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. This video describes the prelude of the invasion, how and why the Marxist USSR dictatorship decided to invade Afghanistan, and Operation Storm-333 conducted by the Soviet Special Forces (Spetsnaz) against the president of Afghanistan Hafizullah Amin in his Tajbeg Palace.

Knowledgia asks “Why did the Celts Collapse?” : “The Celts were a people of mysticism, tenacity, and rich culture. Though they lacked a written language for some time, making it hard to document their lives and civilizations for future generations, we have managed to learn a fair amount about these fascinating people. How they rose to power, how they existed, and even, where they are now.”

Posted February 2, 2009
A small but growing number of government agencies and colleges are rushing to help laid-off workers afford retraining and college courses by offering them free or greatly discounted tuition.
I think it makes good sense. Students and workers have been told for years, 'You'll change careers X times in your life and have to go back and retrain.' Problem is, someone who's just been laid off can't manage rent/mortgage, bills, savings and magically produce a retraining fund.
I used to teach in the community college system in Ontario several years ago. I had lots of seasoned workers as students who were trying to get back in the game. The challenge, as I saw it, was that the college system was stuck in the days of 2-3 year programs, which are fine for people just coming out of high school, but Hell for mature students.
For post-secondary institutions to effectively retrain adult workers, I believe we're going to need a host of strategies to help people re-enter the workplace quickly.

Millstreet Tidy Town Association would like to invite one and all to take part in the Anti Litter Competition for 2015. It is potentially worth €1750 to the Millstreet Tidy Town Association. What has that to do with me I hear you ask ?
The annual spend for the Millstreet Tidy Town Association per annum is roughly between €9000 to €10000. This prize fund would go a long way to help aid our efforts in maintaining our beautiful town.
The first adjudication will take place on the 27th of April, so that only gives us 3 weeks. Everybody can help, even just by tidying up outside our own houses and surrounding footpaths. There will be Litter Pick Ups organised in the coming weeks. We would really appreciate if one and all got involved.
It won’t take long if we all do a small part. Why not get together with your neighbours and organise your own Litter Pick Up in your street.
We have a beautiful town and would love to be able to showcase this. Millstreet has won first prize in this competition in previous years. It would be great if we could do it again.
Millstreet Town Park received €7,500 from the Cork County Council Community Fund, towards their new outdoor fitness equipment. The note below is from Cllr John Paul O’Shea:
Over €75,000 was allocated to communities across the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District Area this week as part of Cork County Council’s Community Fund. The fund was established to support community and voluntary groups who wish to undertake capital development projects in their respective villages and towns.
Welcoming the allocations, Chairman of the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District, Cllr. John Paul O’ Shea (Ind) said “The commitment of Cork County Council to allocate monies to these deserving projects is indeed a very welcome announcement for community groups within the Kanturk and Mallow areas. This funding will undoubtedly benefit the many community and voluntary organisations who have worked extremely hard in recent months planning for such developments in their respective communities and I look forward to seeing the fruits of their labour becoming a reality during the coming months”.

Millstreet finished a creditable third in the top division of the Cork Anti Litter Challenge 2012. After a terrible first week score which left us in last position, Millstreet had the best cumulative score from the second and third weeks to climb into third position. Well done and a big thanks to everyone that bent their backs to pick up rubbish and make Millstreet a cleaner place to live in, and also those that made the effort to take their rubbish home with them!

After two weeks of the Cork County Council Litter Challenge 2012, we find ourselves languishing down the table for our category with only one week remaining.

FIFTY-ONE NEW houses in estates throughout North Cork, owned by Cork County Council but unpurchased under the Affordable Housing Scheme, have been put up for sale on the open market. In a clear sign of the times, the council is being forced to sell the houses for “whatever the market will offer for them”. Ten of the house are in Bweeng, three in Millstreet, two in Castlelyons, 11 in Rathcormac, 10 in Mitchelstown, one in Kilworth, six in Glanworth, two in Charleville and six in Kanturk.
Cork County Council hopes to dispose of 42 houses, deemed affordable, in towns and villages in North Cork, as it has been unable to find buyers for them…
The houses are in Bweeng (10), Castlelyons (2), Charleville (2), Glanworth (6), Kanturk (6), Kilworth (1), Mallow (1), Millstreet (3) and Rathcormac (11)…
A senior executive officer with the council, said the local authority couldn’t continue to carry the costs associated with the empty houses. He told councillors the council had decided to sell off the houses in areas deemed to be in less demand for affordable housing…
Last year the Council dropped the prices of affordable housing when they realised that the market price was then below the price of their affordable housing. But still they have failed to sell them. Now they want to sell them at any cost, just to get the expense off their balance sheets.
The full article is available to read on the Irish Examiner website. Also, you can read Cork County Councils brochure for Affordable Housing in Millstreet, or read the Affordable Housing Explanatory Leaflet for Cork County Council (Northern Division)
In the north Cork administration area – Watergrasshill, Fermoy, Mitchelstown, Mallow, Charleville, Kanturk and Millstreet – there were 41 vehicle notices issued. Thirty-eight were removed within the required time limit.
The Irish Examiner has reported that Cork County Council are clamping down on the practice of selling cars on the roadside, which is in contravention of a Cork County Council bylaw which was introduced in 2007. They are issuing 24 hour removal notices, and then impounding the cars, with retrieval costing on average €460, and legal proceedings if not retrieved.
Last weeks Corkman newspaper reported on Cork County Council backing down from a huge 10,000% rent increase for Millstreet Museum and Millstreet Pipe Band in the newly refurbished Carnegie Hall. The article can be read here, but below is an extract:
THERE was a slice of very welcome news” at the Kanturk Area meeting this week when senior official Aidan Weir said that Millstreet Pipe Band and the Millstreet Museum could remain in situ at the revamped Carnegie Hall for a “nominal rent”.
At a previous meeting in September, Cllr Noel Buckley (FG) lamented an increase being put on both voluntary organisations and said the rental asking price of €6,400 was just not a reality.
Despite Mr Weir dishing out bagloads of disappointing news to councillors who wanted potholes fixed and lighting put in place, he was able to deliver a slice of very welcome news.
He said he met with other officials and it was unanimously decided that both groups do Trojan work in their community and they would now only have to pay a nominal rent.
“At last, some good news,” said the chairman of Kanturk Area Meeting Cllr Noel Buckley.
LEGAL notices are to be served on some residents at West End in Millstreet who have not paid a connection fee to a new sewerage system which was put in place by Cork County Council at a cost of €25,000.
While the council has had the new system installed, and has had connections brought up to the houses, residents must privately pay for a plumber to connect them to the new system, says the council.
The old sewerage system, which is at the back of the row of houses at West End, is over 100 years old.
At Kanturk Area Meeting on Monday, Cllr Noel Buckley (FG) said that “bad odour” has been emitting from the old sewerage system for the past two weeks. He described it as a “major problem at West End”.
The Corkman notes this week that at the recent County Council Meeting, councillors, at the behest of their constituents, were requesting pedestrian crossings in Millstreet and Boherbue, for greater public safety. However, senior county official Mr Weir, along with Newmarket based engineer Mort Ahern, explained that a pedestrian crossing costs €10,000 — which the council did not have to give.
With county council income having taken a nosedive this year, senior official Aidan Weir admitted that even paying their own — reduced — staff was proving a challenge.

Trish – Working hard to get Fire and Ice finished and to the editor so she can meet her second deadline extension; pandemics are hard!
Jeremy – Negotiating literary contracts and trying to make decisions for seven years down the road!
This month in Pop-Culture History
Very Special Star Wars addition! May the Fourth Be With You!
- Denis Lawson who played Wedge Antilles in A New Hope is Ewan McGregor’s real-life uncle. McGregor has vivid memories of going to see A New Hope to cheer on his uncle.
- In the story development for Return of the Jedi, Lucas toyed with the idea of Luke taking off Vader’s helmet and then declaring “Now I am Vader” and turning to the dark side (providing further proof that George should never be allowed to make final story decisions about the franchise.)
- The sets on Phantom Menace where Liam Neeson appeared had to be rebuilt to accommodate his 6’4” stature, costing an additional $150,000 in production costs
- Laura Dern who played Admiral Amilyn Holdo, couldn’t stop saying “Pew!” when she fired her blaster. In spite of some handy editing and camera angles, you can still see her saying it in the final cut.
- The kiss that Luke places on Leia’s forehead in The Last Jedi was unscripted, but Hammill felt that since this was it, the last time he’d see his sister, it was a fitting good-bye. (And now I’m crying!)
Trish-Clone Wars Series finale. NO SPOILERS, but I will say that it’s some of the best storytelling (if not THE BEST Star Wars storytelling) I’ve ever seen.
Jeremy- Knee deep in the horrific. The Endless and The Platform are two horror movies worth checking out on Netflix. The Endless involves brothers returning to a cult and has a bit of Lovecraftian horror and the Platform is essentially the vertical version of the Cube. Not amazing, but worth adding to your quarantine watchlist.
Trish’s Book- Trail of Lightning
It wasn’t my thing (I’m a bit biased against dystopian novels), but it was a solid book with good characters and if you like weird dystopia, this is the book for you! It features a monster hunter, authentic indigenous voices in America, and a whole lot of magic. There is a bit of weird that happens between the main character and her mentor that makes the plot a bit unsettling, but overall, it’s compelling enough to consider reading the second book in the series.
4 Out of 5 Stars
Jeremy’s Book- The Walking Dead: Days Gone By
There was a lot to like in this series by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. I’ll admit, I watched the show before reading the comic so there is a bit of bias in that regard. The first issue is compelling. Rick wakes up from a coma in a world gone mad and filled with zombies. The angles and techniques used to create a sense of isolation start with a bang in this six-issue arc. However, the moment Rick finds his wife and son amidst a group of campers outside of Atlanta, it starts to fall apart. The storyline feels rushed and there isn’t’ enough time to develop the love triangle behind Rick, Shane and Lori. There are too many interwoven stories that cloud the primary story. This is where the show, with two seasons to see this arc to fruition was better able to create a tense atmosphere with intrigue. But despite its shortcomings, there is enough intrigue to warrant a read and even continue (hopefully the bumpy road at the start is due to publisher jitters.)

History reports Melungeons as a race of people who developed in early America from the mixing of Turkish, Portuguese, Spanish, Scottish, African, and British settlers with native Cherokee Indians. The result was a beautiful people; strong, skillful, devoted, yet timid and secretive from generations of persecution.
This story is about the Watts, a 1950s Melungeon family, whose desperate financial circumstances force them to emerge from their secluded, rustic lifestyle into an unfamiliar, and sometimes cruel modern society.
A learning disability makes a family member, Hogan, an easy target for a few unaccepting and hardhearted residents of this new world. His simplistic thinking lands him in unsavory and even dangerous situations. Yet, he is able to brave his fears, search for answers, pray long and loud and in the end, receive the message that unites them all once more.


Partly due to the challenges associated with importing and transporting fossil fuels, more Alaskans and their communities are looking to resources like hydropower, wind, solar, biomass, heat recovery, energy storage, and other technologies to generate electricity and heat. Alaskans are also saving heat and electricity through energy efficiency and conservation measures, keeping dollars in their local economy and reducing the cost of energy. The Alaska Energy Authority works with hundreds of communities across the state assisting in the development of various energy technology projects and energy efficiency upgrades. We bring stakeholders to the table to capitalize on information sharing, project development, and technical assistance. Alaska Energy Authority helps communities every step of the way starting at the early stages of project conception and pre-feasibility continuing on past project completion. A successful project is one that reduces the cost of energy and the community continues to operate and maintain the system throughout its useful life. AEA is committed to helping communities achieve this success.

Just a quick note for anyone who hasn't checked out Battlestar Galactica: Scifi.com has an option now where you can watch whole episodes, including a full-screen option. It's a flash player, a little bit lower quality than the iTunes version.
Right now, they're playing Scar--which, granted, is probably one of the three weakest episodes from season two, and it might be a little hard to get into mid-season. But even at its worst, Galactica's still better than anything on network TV. Take a look.

- What is the outer core liquid?
What color is the outer core?
redRemember what the colors represent: The outer core is red.
The mantle is orange and tan.
The crust is a thin brown line..
Which part of the Earth’s core is liquid?
outer coreThe outer core of the Earth is a liquid layer about 2,260 kilometers thick. It is made of iron and nickel. This is above the Earth’s solid inner core and below the mantle.
Is the Earth’s core spinning?
Surface-dwellers know that Earth spins on its axis once about every 24 hours. But the inner core is a roughly moon-size ball of iron floating within an ocean of molten metal, which means it is free to turn independently from our planet’s large-scale spin, a phenomenon known as super-rotation.
What would happen if Earth’s core cooled?
If the core were to cool completely, the planet would grow cold and dead. … Cooling also could cost us the magnetic shield around the planet created by heat from the core. This shield protects Earth from cosmic radiation. The shield is created by a convection process caused by constantly moving iron.
Is the core of earth solid or liquid?
The core of the Earth is made up mainly of iron, in an outer liquid layer and an inner solid layer. The outer core is where the circulating conducting liquid generates the geodynamo, responsible for our magnetic field.
What are the 2 types of crust?
Earth’s crust is divided into two types: oceanic crust and continental crust. The transition zone between these two types of crust is sometimes called the Conrad discontinuity. Silicates (mostly compounds made of silicon and oxygen) are the most abundant rocks and minerals in both oceanic and continental crust.
What are 3 facts about the outer core?
The outer core is the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer, and is mainly made up of the metals iron and nickel, as well as small amounts of other substances. The outer core is responsible for Earth’s magnetic field. As Earth spins on its axis, the iron inside the liquid outer core moves around.
What are the elements of outer core?
The outer core of the earth is a liquid mix of elements, mostly iron and nickel, with smaller amounts of silicon and oxygen. It goes from a depth of 2550 km below the surface of the earth to 4750 km at the boundary of the inner core, during which time the temperature increases from 4500 to 5500 degrees Celsius.
Is the outer core Magma?
Magma is extremely hot liquid and semi-liquid rock located under Earth’s surface. Earth has a layered structure that consists of the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. Much of the planet’s mantle consists of magma. This magma can push through holes or cracks in the crust, causing a volcanic eruption.
Why is the earths core hot?
There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.
Why is the inner core solid?
The inner core is solid because it is made of very dense, or heavy, materials – like iron and nickel. Even though it is very hot, these materials don’t “melt” very easily, so they stay solid. Answer 3: It turns out that many materials can be a solid at a higher temperature if the pressure is also higher.
How do we know the outer core is liquid?
Scientists figured out that the outer core must be liquid because S waves do not pass through it, but P waves do. … Thus by observing many seismic waves from many earthquakes all over the world, scientists have been able to work out the density of different parts of the Earth (i.e. the core, mantle, and crust).
Is Earth’s core cooling?
The Earth’s core is cooling down very slowly over time. … The whole core was molten back when the Earth was first formed, about 4.5 billion years ago. Since then, the Earth has gradually been cooling down, losing its heat to space. As it cooled, the solid inner core formed, and it’s been growing in size ever since.
How do we know earth has a core?
The core was discovered in 1936 by monitoring the internal rumbles of earthquakes, which send seismic waves rippling through the planet. The waves, which are much like sound waves, are bent when they pass through layers of differing densities, just as light is bent as it enters water.
What is the thinnest layer of the earth?
crustThe crust is what you and I live on and is by far the thinnest of the layers of earth. The thickness varies depending on where you are on earth, with oceanic crust being 5-10 km and continental mountain ranges being up to 30-45 km thick.
What are the two metals located in the outer core and why do they float?
the outer core is primarily made up of iron and nickel. it is mostly a alloy of nickel and iron. . The outer core doesn’t “float”on the inner core since the inner core is solid any more than the oceans “float” on the Earth.
What is the outer core liquid?
The liquid iron in the outer core is an excellent electrical conductor, and creates the electrical currents that drive the magnetic field. The energy supply that drives convection in the outer core is provided as droplets of liquid iron freeze onto the solid inner core.

President Muhammadu Buhari, who is counting days in office appears to have sent a message to Nigerians that he mantle of leadership has changed unofficially as he was said to have relocated from the Presidential Villa into the popular Glass House , as Constitutional required, ahead of inauguration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,, a former governor of Lagos Lagos state and President-elect on the platform of All Progressive Congress, APC, whom Pastor Enock Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has reportedly said would ‘’fix Nigeria’’.
The Glass, according to a top official of the Presidential Villa, Nigeria’s Seat of power, has served as a transitional residence for any outgoing Nigerian President and their family members during the Transition period to usher in the next President to the State House.
Buhuhari and his Spouse, may have moved in the glass house around the Villa , preparatory to his final relocation to Daura, his home town, in Katsina state,about eight Kilometers to Niamey , Capital of the West African country of Niger , Republic, which is under the siege of the Bandits Group. The implications of moving the Seat of government to the Glass house, for the remaining days of his Administration clearly shows that he is gradually relinquishing power to his political ally, Tinubu.
Although, the former Lagos governor and Kashim Shettima, the Vice President-elect, whose elections, are still being contested in the Presidential Election Tribunal by Atiku Abubakar, a former, Vice President, during Olusegun Obasanjo’s Administration and Candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi, a one-time governor of Anambra state and flag bearer of the Labour Party, LP, the dual have no one in doubt they are now in-charge with their secret appoints.
Signs that the President –elect and some of his kitchen cabinet who are waiting in the wings to move into the Villa, by May 29, 2023, is evide nt as Hajia Aisha Buhari, the outgoing First Lady, has taken Senator Oluremi, aPastor in RCCG and in-coming First Lady round the state House.
She was said to have introduced Senator Oluremi, the in-coming First Lady to the various areas of the House occupied over the last seven years and providing detailed information regarding the history and importance of each office. Many believe that Hajia Buhari, could do that because both the in-coming and out –going Presidents are Chieftains and co-founders of the ruling APC.
The outgoing First Lady may not have benefited from such from Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of Former President Goodluck Jonathan as there was no close relationship because they were members of two different Political parties. By showing her round the man State House , may have given the in-coming First Lady, an insight how the Villa looks like to be able to take effective control once She moves in with the President-elect, Tinubu, her Husband for the business of governance of the country, until the Court decides on the February 25, 22023, Presidential election.
Indeed, relocating to the Glass House , according to political analysts provides a ‘’symbolic and literal space for the outgoing Nigerian President , and crating room for the incoming President to fully take charge.
In her apparent reaction to the Complete tour of the State House, an Appreciative Senator Oluremi, the incoming First Lady, had thanked Haji Buhari for ‘’the opportunity availed her to see much of main House and the magnanimity of her host Describing the explanations given to her about the House in such a short time as ‘’overwhelming to grasp’’, she averred that ‘’God will her to be able to make an impactful contribution to the nation’’. The incoming First Lady, who is believed to be a Pastor in the RCCG, also believes that God would help her ‘’make positive impacts and build upon the legacy of the outgoing First Lady’’.
Indeed, what she had said was not different from the position of her Husband, Tinubu , the President-elect , who had repeatedly said during the electioneering Campaigns and after the conduct of the Presidential election on February 25, 2023, that Mahmoud Yakubu, a Professor and Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared him the winner, that he will sustain the legacies of the Katsina state born Nigerian President if elected the next President of Nigeria to pursue the renewed hope agenda diligently .
Many believe that the only legacy which the outgoing President has for Nigerians is a debt burden of over $80 billion for the next President and who may continue in the borrowing habit to run his Administration.
Given his penchant for borrowing from Multi-lateral Financial Institutions, Paris Club, London Club, World Band and the International Monetary Fund, IMF, including the Asian country of China Development Bank, at this tail end of his Administration, he was said to have asked Ahmad Lawan led outgoing 9th Senate, ‘’to approve a new loan request of $800 million , which is to be sourced from the Work Bank.
In justifying the loan, the Nigerian President in a Letter to the Lawan, the outgoing Senate President , the Nigerian President had aid that the $800 million fresh loan from the World Bank would be used ‘’to sale up the National Social Safety Net Programme, NASSP, to assist poor and vulnerable Nigerians in coping with the costs of meeting basic needs.
For the first time, officials of the Budget office who had remained silent over the past seven years that Buhari, had turned Nigerian into a debtor nation, had raised alarm that ‘’Nigeria was fat exceeding its borrowing limit’’, which may not be good news for the incoming Tinubu’s Administration.
Last March , the Debt Management Office, DMO, under the close watch of Patience Oniha , had aid that Nigerians total debt public debt stock , excluding external and domestic debts , ha increased to N46.25 trillion or $103.11 as at the fourth quarter of 2022, under the Buhari’s Administration.
While Buhari is gradually leaving the stage for Tinubu , the President –elect and Kashim Shettima, the Vice President-elect,, who many had said ought to be concerned about the country’s mounting debt that would be left behind by the Buhari’s Administration, may have preoccupied themselves, particular, the Vice President-elect in influencing the outgoing President in making more political appointments.
The recent, appointment of Ibrahim Abba Umar, a one-time Personal Assistant to the Vice President-elect as the new Executive Director. Engineering and Technical Service of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, speaks volume.
The Vice-President, may have positioned Umar, to be the Managing Director of NPA, after Mohammed Bello-Koko, who is expected to be relieved of his appointment. Tinubu, the President-elect, may have agreed to the appointment as most of the agencies’ Chief Executive Officers, CEO, would be replaced to bring in loyalists that would support the party in terms of financial need.
The outgoing Nigerian President was said to have also appointmented Garba Baba Umar, a retiring Assistant Inspector General, AIG, of Police as a Senior Security Adviser on International Police Cooperation and Counter-terrorism in the office of the minister of Police Affairs.
