Gary Neville Retires

Gary Neville Retires

Manchester United defender Gary Neville has announced his retirement from football. It's believed the United legend decided that it is the right time to bow out of the game when he heard he wouldn't be included in United's 25 man squad for the champions league match at Marseille in 2 weeks.

He said: "I have been a Manchester United fan all my life and fulfilled every dream I've ever had. Obviously I am disappointed that my playing days are at an end. However it comes to us all, and it's knowing when that time is. For me, that time is now. I have played in the most incredible teams, playing with and against some of the best players in the world, and I have been lucky to be a part of the club's great success. I am looking forward to new experiences and the club will always be a part of my life. However, the most important thing is for the club to continue with the success synonymous with Manchester United."

It has been rumoured that he will take up the vacant post at Sky Sports as a pundit similar to Andy Gray but that remains to be seen.

cctv china

China's government run television outlet named CCTV have come into heavy criticism for taking footage from the film "Top Gun" in a TV report relating to the country's fighter jet planes and clearly thought the report needed more spice that only the classic Tom Cruise film could satisfy.

The segment, covering the People's Liberation Army's Air Force, included footage of the J-10 fighter jet soaring through the clouds. In one spot, a J-10 fires off a missile, and CCTV then shows an exploding jet from Top Gun. Smartly, it doesn't leave in the next scene where Tom Cruise celebrates. State-run Chinese media outlets have been criticized in the past for inappropriate use of intellectual property, and quite obviously it's just happened again. In this day and age, I think it'd be pretty tough to convince anyone that the explosion shown on CCTV was real.

So a somewhat funny turn of events from the Chinese TV company and they will surely think twice about repeating the actions.

did the groundhog see his shadow 2011

did the groundhog see his shadow 2011

Towns across America today have joined in paying tribute to ground hog day in the desire to figure out whether the country will see another six weeks of winter or if Spring will come early. The most famous of all the ground hogs is Pennsylvania's "Phil" and the town held it's breath as he appeared today.

The humble town held its annual Groundhog day celebration this morning, Feb 2ndand the results are in! The world’s most famous weather predicting groundhog, Phil, did NOT see his shadow this morning, so according to the folklore, good bye winter, hello early spring! According to Wikipedia, the holiday, which began as a Pennsylvania German custom in southeastern and central Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, has its origins in ancient European weather lore, wherein a badger or sacred bear is the prognosticator as opposed to a groundhog.

So if myth is correct there will be an end to the harsh winter conditions and spring will come early!

ground hog day 2011

ground hog day 2011

Ground Hog Day 2011 takes place tomorrow on February 2nd and the most well known of all groundhogs, Punxsutawney Phil will be making his yearly showing at the start of the day, around 7:25am. His fame is partly because he is Pennsylvanian and the first people who celebrated Ground Hog Day were the Germans of Pennsylvania.

Each year, massive crowds gather in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to watch Phil emerge from his burrow on Gobbler’s Knob. February 2nd occurs halfway between the first day of winter and the first day of spring. According to popular tradition and belief, if the groundhog sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If the day is cloudy and he doesn’t see his shadow, then the groundhog stays above the ground anticipating early spring weather.

So a fun day for all who have an affection for the creature and it will take place tomorrow.


dfw airport

dfw airport

Harsh weather conditions have resulted in the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport having to announce that as of 6:30am this morning that it has completely shut down, except for air travelers who were in the airport. The Dallas Love Field is still up and open tho.

There’s no word yet on when DFW will be re-opened but they hope to have the airport re-opened by 7-8 am, according to Airport representative David Magana. Runways and terminals are iced over and, although crews were treating those areas with de-icing agents, Magana said high winds and other factors prevented the airport from continuing to de-ice planes. Before it shut down, hundreds of cancelations had already been issued. The Associated Press reports "DFW Airport spokesman David Magana says one runway has reopened after the temporary closure .. and crews are working to clear the ice from others."

So brutal weather has forced the the eighth largest airport in the world to close and they will be hoping they can re-open as soon as possible.
