 | Night Club Stabbing A fight started in the Tahona Nightclub in Astoria Queens around 3:30AM, then bouncers broke it up and one of the groups of people left and went into the strip joint next door, Riviera. However, 30 minutes later around 4:00AM the other group of people from Tahona happened to wander into Riviera, saw the other people, and the fight started up again. The brawl spilled out into the street, with 40+ people involved. Once the dust settled, there were 6 people stabbed, 2 dead, and 2 more in critical condition who were rushed to the local hospital. I work graveyard shift at the Beach Bum Tanning right next to Riviera, so I saw the whole thing from the moment it spilled out onto Steinway Street, to the moment the smoke cleared and people were lying on the ground, to the moments immediately after the fight when all the strippers came running into my store for protection, locking the door behind them. Made for my most interesting shift at work ever. |
 | NWBIT 07 game 1 (Saints vrs Johnson Oil NWBIT Game #1 Summary -- Johnson Oil at Saints (Tuesday, 3/13/07) Final Score: Saints 49, Johnson Oil 44 Astoria, OR (NWBIT Network) -- Chris Meyer netted 14 points to guide the Team Saints past Johnson Oil, 49 - 44, at the Astoria Middle School Large Gym. Josh Conklin ended with 11 points while Chris Daltin scored 8 points playing point guard for the saints, who won the first game of their defense of last year's NWBIT tourney title. With the win, The Saints move to the next round to play in Thursday night's game 3 against Mike Coakleys team at the Gray gym at 7pm. Tony Robinson registered 13 points in a great shooting display. The saints were patient on offence and played defense well enough to come away with the win. Though they were short-handed, they had some match-ups work in their favor. Justin Lane dropped in 22 points for Johnson Oil, and also had some spectacular shots inside the key in the second half when he did the bulk of his scoring after a lethargic first half. Team Johnson Oil; which has dropped this first game will now have to wait until the loser of game 3 until they can attempt to put this tough loss behind them and move on in the tournament. Neil Wirkkala donated 12 points, while Carson Engleson had 6 points, some tough defense and reached for some key rebounds in the losing effort. Team Johnson Oil had the chances they wanted against a depleted Saints team, but missed on some key shots late in the game. Turnovers late in the game didn't help matters either. They will have to step up their offense in the early part of ballgames if they want to fight for the championship. The Saints played front-runner for the majority of the contest, and closed the first half out on a little spurt to put distance between them and Johnson Oil. Johnson oil would tie the contest at 45 -- 45 with only 2:00 minutes left in the game, but big shots from Chris Dalton and good free-throw shooting proved to be the difference in the closely contested game. The winner of this game now moves to play a tough and seasoned city league competitor in Mike Coakley's team. The loser must now work their way through a truly tough bottom round at any hopes of making it to the final game on Thursday March, 22nd at AMS. Game Notes The Saints were without several key players due to other sports commitments and may have most of the team on Thursday night. Johnson Oil will have to regroup after this loss, but it will have to do so with out the Team Manager Earl Johnson as he is set to be out of town. |
 | FREQUENCY Dennis Quaid,Jim Cavaiezel, HTTP://WWW.FREQUENCYMOVIE.COM FREQUENCY 2000 TRAILER Directed by Gregory Hoblit Produced by Gregory Hoblit, Toby Emmerich, Bill Carraro, Hawk Koch Written by Toby Emmerich Starring Dennis Quaid, James Caviezel, Elizabeth Mitchell Distributed by New Line Cinema Release date(s) 28 April 2000 Running time 118 min. Language English Budget ~ US$31,000,000 The movie takes place during October 1999. John Sullivan (Caviezel), having broken family tradition by becoming a New York City policeman, instead of a fireman — his father, Frank Sullivan (Quaid), died 30 years ago in a warehouse fire, shortly after Game 2 of the 1969 World Series — and going through personal turmoil, discovers his father's ham radio and begins transmitting. Due to unusual (and scientifically impossible), aurora borealis activity, he ends up communicating with Frank 30 years in the past, shortly before the date of the warehouse fire that would kill Frank. John is able to warn his father of the fire that would have otherwise taken his life. However, by saving his father, a new timeline exists. Previously, his mother, Julia 'Jules' Sullivan (Elizabeth Mitchell), left her job as a nurse at a New York hospital to attend to the funeral arrangements. In this new timeline, she is at work, and saves the life of a man who turns out to be the "Nightingale Killer," who had already killed three nurses. Now, he goes on to kill a total of ten, the sixth being John's mother. Thus, using information from 1999 police files on the killings that did not previously happen, John and Frank must work together across the gap of time to find the murderer and save Julia. * If Frank in 1969 was the same age as John in 1999, who said he was 36, and Julia and Satch were roughly the same age as Frank, then John would have been born in 1963 and the other characters in 1933. Dennis Quaid was 45 years old during filming, Elizabeth Mitchell 29, James Caviezel 31 (making him older than the actress playing his mother) and Andre Braugher 37. * A major subplot of Frequency is the 1969 World Series between the New York Mets and the Baltimore Orioles. John relays to Frank certain key moments (including the famous Game 5 "shoe polish" hit-batsman incident with Cleon Jones) during the movie, as a means of proving he knows what will happen and what Frank needs to do. * During the scene at the Buxton warehouse fire, several pieces of firefighting equipment are used that would not have been available to fire departments in 1969, although the fire truck itself is contemporary. * Although the movie drops several references to being in the Bayside section of Queens, which is in the northeast part of the Borough, the Sullivan home appears to be near the Triboro Bridge, which would place it in Astoria, in the northwest section. * When the killer steals Frank's wallet in their first confrontation, he reads Frank's driver's license to find his address, then leaves the wallet behind. With the killer's prints on the wallet, John tells his father to hide it in a place where it won't be found for 30 years. The prints are a match for a cop, Jack Shepard. His police identification card gives his date of birth as July 11, 1944, which would make him 25 years old in 1969 and 55 in 1999 (and would make his still-living parents about 80 years old in 1999). But when they fight again, and Frank grabs Shepard's wallet and finds his license, the birthdate is listed as July 11, 1930, which would make him 39 in 1969 and 69 in 1999 (and push his father, now the only living parent in the altered 1999, to at least 90 years old). Shawn Doyle, who played Shepard, was born in 1968, making him 31 when the movie was filmed. o Shepard's police ID also gives his address as "Bayside, NY," putting him in the same Queens neighborhood as the Sullivans. But his license, while having the same exact street address, gives the location as "Greenpoint, NY," which is in Brooklyn. The scene taking place at Shepard's apartment leads to a confrontation in a river, which is consistent with either neighborhood: Long Island Sound for Bayside, the East River and Newtown Creek for Greenpoint. * Gordo, one of John's boyhood friends is upset that he didn't buy Yahoo! stock when it was cheap. In the movie, John uses the ham radio to tell the child version of his friend to always remember the word "yahoo." At the end, his friend ends up being incredibly rich, including owning a Mercedes-Benz sedan with the license plate "1 YAHOO". From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_%28movie%29 |
