The adventures of Jersey man...
Life can be surprisingly cruel at times.
A North Jersey music producer and musician who has worked with some of the greatest names from the industry died Monday night, nearly two weeks after he was hit by a blown out tire from a dump truck while he was riding his bicycle in town.
James DeSalvo, 53, of Wayne, was hit at 1:32 p.m. on Sept. 11 when the tire came off the truck and “rolled southbound in the shoulder on Black Oak Ridge Road until it struck [him]," the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office and Wayne Police Chief James Clarke said in a joint statement following the accident. DeSalvo suffered serious injuries and was taken to St. Joseph’s University Medical Center in Paterson where he remained in a coma and was being kept on life support until he died Monday night, according to the GoFundMe page.
DeSalvo worked as a songwriter and music producer at BeanStudio Mastering and Recording in Wayne, and has worked with “Yes” lead singer Jon Anderson and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels during his 34 years in the New Jersey music business, according to his web site.

Houston in round 1 of the ACLS.
I'm a lifelong Yankees fan. This may be the year for them, but they gotta learn to win in Houston...
The Yankees and Astros have long been considered the favorites in the AL, and with the postseason a week away, that still appears to be the case even as the Twins, Rays, Indians and A’s have each won at least 90 games. Houston is considered the favorite due to their starting trio of Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke. The possibility of home-field advantage could further help Houston’s cause, as the Yankees have not played well at Minute Maid Park since the Astros emerged as a contender in 2015.
Including postseason games, Houston is 22-20 against the Yankees in that stretch, including a 13-8 mark at Minute Maid Park. Over the last three years, the Astros are 10-4 against the Yankees at home, including a sweep this April. The Yankees scored three runs in four games in Houston during that 2017 ALCS.
“We played a couple different series over the last few years in the playoffs, where you play important games in the opposing stadium, and when you look at the Yankees and look at the Twins and the playoff-caliber team, you want to make sure you have home field,” Houston manager A.J. Hinch told ESPN Radio. “As much as everyone says that’s for Game 5 or Game 7, it’s really more for Game 1 and 2. “To start series at home is critical.”
The Yankees are 12-9 against Houston when playing at Yankee Stadium since the start of the 2015 campaign, including an 8-2 stretch spanning the start of the 2017 ALCS. However, Houston has shown it can win a road game in the Bronx in October, besting the Yankees in the 2015 wild card game. Houston lost three of four in New York this year. “Our fans do a great job of making this a tough place to play for opposing teams,” Gardner said. “We saw last year in the wild card game and in the ALDS against the Red Sox, year before against Houston.”
Yankees lefty James Paxton — an offseason import from Seattle — could be an X-factor if the two teams meet, since he’s 4-2 with a 3.92 ERA in his eight career starts at Minute Maid Park. He did lose his one start this year in Houston, but the 30-year-old believes the Astros’ home has a good mound. “They’re just a good team,” Paxton said of the Astros. “They have a good lineup, good pitching staff, like us. It’s going to be a battle.”

There are some seriously fucked-up people in this world, aren't there?
An open house in Southern California turned into a fight for her life for a real estate agent, who was violently attacked and groped in an assault that was captured on video.
"I could have been dead yesterday," the 51-year-old woman told FOX11 of the Sunday incident in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Encino. The woman, who asked that her name be withheld, said the man who attacked her had come to her open house the previous week and was acting very strangely and inappropriately.
"I said, 'What are you doing here,' and he said, 'I have a buyer for you,"she told FOX11. "At that point I was kind of nervous and I was a little bit shaky so I said OK we're in the middle of the house right now, I want to get him outside by the door," she continued.

Cook was the cheapest way for me to travel between Orlando and Ireland where my brother lives.
They usta fly direct Orlando to Dublin R/T $ 600.00
U.K.-based tour operator Thomas Cook’s liquidation stranded some 600,000 of its customers this week, but the sudden closure will have lasting effects for travelers around the globe, making flights in Europe more expensive but some destinations cheaper.
Hundreds of thousands of travelers were stranded around the world after the company shuttered operations Monday. The situation prompted the largest peacetime repatriation of U.K. citizens in history, as the British government scrambled to charter planes to bring tourists back from around the world.
As a tour operator, Thomas Cook specialized in offering all-inclusive travel packages to popular destinations, especially in the Mediterranean. The company also operated an airline and owned more than 200 hotels. The company blamed the ongoing Brexit negotiations and hot weather that made Britons less interested in traveling for its recent woes.
Ever been to Ireland? It's cold and damp and rains nearly every friggin' day of the year, but what a god-awful beautirful country it is..
