With the last remnants of meat from the October 2011
Pop City Burger Tour
finally cleansed from our systems, Patrick Jordan and I agreed to slip back into our stretchy pants and do battle with another culinary icon. Armed with Lactaid, Tums and a camera, we hit a dozen restaurants in a single day to find the best pizza in Pittsburgh. (To see the 2012 Pizza Tour video, click
The list of stops on the 2012 Pittsburgh Pizza Tour was developed through input on Facebook and Twitter. Obviously, this is in no way an exhaustive overview, as there are simply too many pizza joints in the city and surrounding region. If Pat and I missed your favorite, we're sorry. Pizza, we quickly discovered, is a polarizing food.
As we set out on our quest, we established just two rules: 1) we had to eat a whole slice at every stop, and 2) no using the word "'za."
Following each entry below, I've included my tweets from the tour along wtih Patrick's mustache meter rating. To view the full day's tweet log, along with guest commentary, check out #PGHPizzaTour on Twitter.
Vincent's Pizza Park
998 Ardmore Boulevard
It's only appropriate that we started our day with a healthy breakfast at Vincent's in Forest Hills, since a slice of "Vinnie Pie" eats like a meal. A Pittsburgh-area institution, Vinnie's has been serving up big, delicious pizzas for more than 60 years.
The 2012 Pittsburgh Pizza Tour featured cameos along the way from some famous Pittsburgh faces. Think of it as a Mr. Rogers episode with a gastrointestinal twist. At Vinnie's, we were joined by John Fetterman, the Braddock mayor with a larger-than-life personality and a passion for Pittsburgh.
Patrick and I ordered pepperoni and green peppers, while Fetterman opted for artichoke hearts. As the pizza was placed on the table before us, we realized that making Vincent's the first stop was the right call. Piled high with toppings, the beast of a pizza was a thing of caloric beauty.
"I don't really have a sauce to cheese formulation or anything like that," says Fetterman of his views on a great pizza. "It's the definition of obscenity; you know it when you see it, and certainly Vincent's fits that description."
We knew it when we saw it, but that didn't stop us from tasting it. Anyone who claims to be a Pittsburgher needs to make a trip out Route 30 and get a Vinnie Pie. Big, obscene, delicious.
@bstephenson, 12:02 PM: "Oh no. I just belched hard after stop 1."
Patrick's mustache rating for Vincent's: "
Teddy Roosevelt
-- A larger than life pizza, like the president who took a bullet to the chest and gave a 90-minute speech while bleeding. Eating too much Vinnie Pie might make you feel the same way, but you'll still function and keep going back... until you just can't."
103 Capital Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15226
Well, I knew the Pizza Tour wouldn't be complete without an Italian man yelling at me. I just didn't know it would be so early in the day.
When I entered Fiori's, our second stop on the tour, I was immediately taken in by the old school feel of the place. Arcade games sit in the front window, and a picture of Neil Diamond hangs on the wall. Did you just ask why? No one needs to justify a photo of Neil Diamond.
As I approached the counter to ask an older gentleman if we could take some photos in the restaurant, he noticed my camera and began angrily asking to see my identification. While I was receiving an Italian what-for, Patrick was busy photographing the Neil Diamond picture. After a few tense moments, it was revealed that the Italian man was Fiori Moscatiello, the owner of the establishment, and he was simply being protective of his customers. And, ultimately, that's what Fiori's is all about: a strong contingent of regulars who swear by the pizza that's graced Pittsburgh for more than 32 years.
"To make a good pizza, you gotta' work," said Fiori, who sometimes works 16-hour days making sure everything is perfect for his customers. "That's what it's all about."
What about the pizza? It's very good, very handmade and was one of Patrick's favorites of the day. The sauce and crust are both on the sweet side, which may be a deal-breaker for some. The staff at Fiori's were some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet behind a restaurant counter, and for atmosphere and service alone, Fiori's is at the top of the list.
By the way, once he realized we weren't there for nefarious purposes, Fiori gave us t-shirts!
@bstephenson, 12:38 PM: "Fiori, who is old and very Italian, was not initially happy with my camera. Thought he was going to punch me."
Patrick's mustache rating for Fiori's: "
Charles Bronson
-- This is a strong mustache for a strong pizza, and a favorite to diehards for good reason. A good core and masculine complexity, but if you try to get cocky with Fiori like Brad almost did (luckily I was there) you must have a death wish."
Il Pizzaiolo
703 Washington Road
Mt. Lebanon, PA
Who would have guessed that there are reasons to go to the OTHER side of the tunnels? Oh, South Hills, I kid. You know I love you. When it comes to pizza, the southern suburbs are home to some of the best pizza the Pittsburgh area has to offer.
At the third stop on our quest, Il Pizzaiolo in Mt. Lebanon, we were greeted with wine, courtesy of Duane and Kate Reider. Duane is a local photographer and winemaker who shot all the stunning images that hang on the walls of Il Pizzaiolo. Rieder considers himself a pizza enthusiast, though he said his employees call him a "pizza Nazi" because of his passion for Pizzaiolo.
Three different pizzas were prepared for us by owner Ron Molinaro: the Margherita with San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella di bufala, parmigiano-reggiano, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil; the Prosciuttio E Arugula with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, parmigiano-reggiano, prosciutto di parma, baby arugula and extra virgin olive oil; and the Salsicce and Rapini with fresh mozzarella, sweet fennel sausage, rapini, pecorino romano and extra virgin olive oil.
If that all seems like the most amazing pizza you'll ever eat without a plane ticket to Italy, you're not wrong. Molinaro is obsessive about his pizza. He's visited pizza places all over the world to perfect his recipes, and he picks up fresh buffalo mozzarella from Naples, Italy at the airport every week to be sure it's as fresh as possible. He even brought in a crew from Naples to build an authentic oven, which burns at more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit and cooks a pizza to perfection in a minute.
"It's a traditional Neapolitan oven," said Rieder, who owns
Engine House 25
wine in the Strip District. "It's the hottest oven in Pittsburgh."
I have no idea why that's a good thing, but it must be.
Disclaimer: Duane and Kate are hardcore Il Pizzaiolo fans, and they did lube us up with Engine House 25 wine, which is incidentally tremendous. This had no influence on my glowing remarks about Il Pizzaiolo, but it certainly didn't hurt. By the way, Engine House 25 also houses Rieder's photography studio and the Clemente Museum.
@bstephenson, 1:41 PM: "Four. FOUR pizzas! Il Pizzaiolo.
By the way, it was around this time that we were joined digitally by another Pittsburgh friend: legendary WQED producer Rick Sebak started following and commenting about our journey on Twitter. I have loved his scrapbook documentaries about Pittsburgh for as long as I can remember, so this clearly made my day, week and lifetime.
@rickaroundhere, 1:46 PM: "@BStephenson Haven't been to Il Pizzaiolo in years. Looks pretty great."
Patrick's mustache rating for Il Pizzaiolo: "
Burt Reynolds (highest respect)
-- Much like the last place to achieve Burt status on our Burger Tour this place goes above and beyond. Like Burt, Il Pizzaiolo almost needs its own category. The signature mustache for a signature pizza."
A'Pizza Badamo
656 Washington Road
Mt. Lebanon, PA 15228
When Caruso's pizzeria in Mt. Lebanon shut down a few years ago, longtime customer Anthony Badamo jumped at the chance to open his own shop in the space. Though he's young, Badamo clearly knows his pizza.
Badamo's is not as upscale as Il Pizzaiolo across the street, and the pizza is more traditional to an American pizza shop, but the experiences are similar in the attention to detail and the freshness of the ingredients. Pat and I both enjoyed our slices with only cheese, and Badamo was one of my favorites of the day. The crust is of moderate thickness with a great crunch, and the sauce and cheese ratio is just about perfect.
My wife and I lived in New York City for a while and one of my favorite dining experiences -- because we couldn't afford anything else -- was grabbing a quick slice at one of the city's hundreds of pizza places. In the most amazing way possible, Badamo brought back those memories in a much, much fresher way.
How lucky are the people who live near these pizza places, arguably two of the best in Pittsburgh? In the mood for an upscale traditional Neapolitan pizza? Head to Pizzaiolo. Want to grab one of the best slices of your life in a more casual setting? Hit up Badamo.
@bstephenson: Hey @TurnersPremiumT - Look what I found at A'Pizza Badamo.
Patrick's mustache rating for Badamo: "
John Holmes
-- Not much to look at, but it's got it where it counts?"
Don Campiti's Pizzeria
1509 Potomac Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15216
We had just enough time to swing into Don Campiti's on our way across Potomac Avenue toward Banksville Road. This place was a fan favorite on Facebook, so we didn't want to miss it.
Though the cheese pizza we ordered at this Dormont mainstay was pretty standard, people give it consistently great reviews. Hopefully we weren't hitting our gastrointestinal wall at this point in the tour. I'd hate to be unfair because I was full, but neither of us were blown away, and we have pretty roomy stomachs.
We aren't professional critics, though. As Patrick says, "We're just guys who like pizza."
@bstephenson, 2:04 PM: "Campiti's in Dormont: What can I say? A whole pizza was only $6."
Patrick's mustache rating for Campiti's: "
The Pringles Guy
-- I think what I'm saying is that sometimes
you get the munchies
to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?"
City Oven
3025 Banksville Rd
Pittsburgh, PA
Another entry in the brick oven category, City Oven sits on Banksville Road and isn't necessarily remarkable from the outside. Once we stepped inside, though, we received a warm welcome from the oven's fire and from manager Sam Kane, who gave us a tour and talked about the restaurant's pizza-making philosophies.
"It starts with the dough," said Kane. "You have to make your own. You have to use your hands and knead it with love."
It was around this point, as Kane was mentioning the love he puts into the City Oven pizza dough, that I started to realize how passionate the pizza makers were at the best places we visited. Every time we tasted a delicious pizza, its creator was close by with a story about the ingredients or the dough or the little place in Brooklyn that serves the best slice.
Clearly there is passion at City Oven, which features ovens built into an old coal mine, and it is evident in each very crispy bite. The thin crust on this pizza was distinct, with an initial crunch and a soft, delicious follow-through.
Fortunately for the downtown crowd, City Oven will be opening a location in the Times Building on Fourth Avenue in April.
@bstephenson, 3:21 PM: "At City Oven w/ manager Sam Kane.
Patrick's mustache rating for City Oven: "
David Crosby
-- You would never think a voice like that came through that 'stache. But it does and it's respected for good reason, much like a fantastic gourmet pizza coming from a place that used to be a mine entrance."
Pasquarelli's Pizza House
824 Chartiers Ave
McKees Rocks, PA
As I've said, Patrick and I don't claim to be food critics. We eat a lot of great food, and we have fun doing it, but the intellectual extent of our critical vocabulary is usually "yum" or "yuck." So we were naturally thrilled to be meeting up with a true food expert, Pittsburgh superstar Chef Kevin Sousa, at his favorite pizza place, Pasquarelli's in McKees Rocks.
Pasquarelli's has been baking up famous stuffed crust pizzas on Chartiers Avenue in for decades, and it's been one of Sousa's number one spots since he was growing up in the Rocks.
"I came here on my first date when I was 12 or 13,"said Sousa, Pittsburgh Magazine's 2011 Chef of the Year.
The Pasquarelli's pie was piping hot, as it was made fresh to order. We were on the move, so we didn't have time to wait, but Sousa said the pizza is best eaten after it's had a bit of time to sit and cool off. Actually, one of the lessons I learned on the tour is that most pizza is best after a cooling period and some is at its finest in the leftover stage.
As good as Pasquarelli's pizza was hot, I can't imagine how good it must be if given Sousa's proper resting time. It's a heavier pizza, almost on par with Vincent's, and incredibly delicious. Of particular appeal was the fresh sausage with fennel seeds. Every once in a while, Patrick or I would hit a bite that contained the perfect balance of ingredients, and we'd offer a manly grunt of pizza pleasure.
Take it from Sousa, owner of Pittsburgh's Salt of the Earth, Station Street Hot Dogs and Union Pig and Chicken: Pasquarelli's is a must for any pizza aficionado.
"It's my favorite pizza," said Sousa. "It's just good stuff, and it's been the same two people here my whole life."
@bstephenson 5:44 PM: "Headed to Pizza Italia in Bloomfield. Home of the headless fresh bot. I am so full I have no idea what I'm saying."
Patrick's mustache rating for Pasquarelli's: "
Brando in
The Godfather
-- It's about family and serving the neighborhood. Mixing intelligence, heart and muscle, this husband and wife team do it all from scratch, from the sausage to the crust. The Don is landmark 'stache for this McKees Rocks landmark. Consider this place equivalent to a gift on the day of your daughters wedding."
Pizza Italia
4512 Liberty Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15224
Pizza Italia in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood made our list from the start, because Patrick lived near the restaurant and claims to have been sustained by its pizza for five years of his life. Italia's pizza merely keeping him from dying wasn't exactly a glowing review, and his regular habit of consuming pizza from any location over the course of five years has most likely contributed to a shorter lifespan, but I'm no doctor.
So I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted the Pizza Italia slice with pepperoni and green peppers. For a traditional pizza joint with a modest-looking storefront, the pizza really is good. Tasty, hand-tossed crust and fresh ingredients make Italia a Bloomfield standout.
It should be noted that we were running short on time at this stage of the tour, so we had to eat the Pizza Italia pie in Patrick's car. Always masters of efficiency when it comes to eating, we held our slices out the window to cool.
@bstephenson 6:20 PM: "Next up: Mineo's and Aiello's. The feud gets settled tonight."
Patrick's mustache rating for Pizza Italia: "
Jim Leyland
-- Quality and consistency. Not flashy. What you see is what you get… a winner."
2128 Murray Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15217
2112 Murray Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15217
As Patrick and I were planning for our grand pizza adventure, we had a very difficult time selecting the restaurants we would visit. From the beginning, though, Mineo's and Aiello's in Squirrel Hill were on our list. You can't talk about pizza in Pittsburgh without mentioning these two spots, and you can't discuss one without the other.
The shops have been battling for the local pizza crown for more than 30 years. Mineo's has been around since 1958, and Aiello's opened in a neighboring store in the late 70s after Giuseppe 'Joe' Aiello left the pizza place where he was working to start his own restaurant. Mind you, Patrick and I knew our opinions wouldn't really matter. Ultimately, the important thing about our tour was the journey and not the outcome. Besides, when people feel as strongly about something as they do about pizza, minds cannot be changed.
Still, as expected, I started getting the inevitable question after our tour: "Which is better? Mineo's or Aiello's?" So I'm going to give the answer I gave Pat immediately following the Murray Avenue leg of our trip. Personally, Aiello's wins this battle, no questions asked. Mineo's has good pizza, absolutely, so please don't start throwing eggs at my house. When it comes to my individual preference, though, I have to give the edge to Aiello's. The crust is lighter, the sauce was more flavorful and the cheese was less greasy.
By the way, when you visit Aiello's, don't accidentally call them Mineo's like I did. I nearly found out what it's like to eat their pizza without teeth.
Check out Pop City's 2009
feature on Mineo's and Aiello's
for more about the two Pittsburgh pizza institutions.
@bstephenson 7:06 PM: "Pat's car smells like pizza and sadness."
Patrick's mustache ratings for Mineo's and Aiello's: "Feelin' the rivalry thing here.
2Pac for
-- Serving up a legendary classic style to the masses since the beginning. Its fans are so passionate, it could come to blows. There are not many foods more polarizing than pizza. Mineo's is a benchmark for the Pittsburgh pizza scene, and you can't mention pizza here without someone bringing it up.
Notorious B.I.G. for
-- Didn't think Biggie had a 'stache? Well he did, and it was subtle and fantastic. Aiello's broke away, took a good thing and made it their own, and have been Hypnotizing locals ever since. Their fans are intense, as well."
5996 Penn Circle South
Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Believe it or not, we weren't too disgustingly bloated to enjoy a beer at Dinette, the 11th stop of our tour. I think Patrick and I were reenergized by the home stretch.
We settled in at the moderately upscale East Liberty restaurant's counter and ordered a prosciutto and arugula pizza. Dinette offers an inventive selection of pies, and ours was very fresh with a thin, crispy crust. Patrick really enjoyed the pizza at Dinette, but it was my least favorite thin crust offering of the day. Keep in mind, we tasted some amazing pizzas, so this is certainly not to say that Dinette isn't delicious. In fact, I enjoyed the Dinette leftovers the day after our tour. No, I am not, nor will I ever be, sick of pizza.
My tired brain and full stomach prohibited me from fighting Patrick on the prosciutto selection. Under less gastrointestinally tasking circumstances, I would like to revisit Dinette with a group for a mix-and-match trial of some of their other pizzas. Particularly intriguing to me are the salt-cured anchovy with jalapeños and capers and the dry-cured chorizo with red onion and grilled escarole.
@bstephenson 8:05 PM: "If @barebones1 (Pat) didn't have Siri, I'd be decapitated in a horrific crash right now."
Patrick's mustache rating for Dinette: "
Prince --
A thin 'stache for a thin crust? Fans of all music genres love Prince, partially for his ability to constantly reinvent himself (the 'stache remains a constant). Dinette's seasonally changing menu and inventive qualities, like growing fresh ingredients in its S'Liberty rooftop garden, appeal to many types of pizza lovers. These small pizzas can be dazzling and showy but at the end of the day, the quality brings you back."
Mio Pizza
50 Freeport Road
Aspinwall, PA 15215
Patrick got to add a personal pick to our list in Pizza Italia, and Mio Pizza in Aspinwall was mine. Formerly Mio Kitchen and Wine Bar on Commercial Avenue, Chef Matthew Porco's Mio is now a nondescript pizza place on Freeport Road near the Original Mattress Factory. What the place lacks in aesthetic, though, it makes up in fresh, delicious food. What else would you expect from Pittsburgh Magazine's 2010 Chef of the Year?
We ordered the Mio Duo, which features half of the restaurant's red pizza and half of its white. Much like the Patrick-Brad duo, both sides of the Mio Duo are fantastic, but the white pizza is really the star. San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, provolone, parmesan cheese and fresh basil come together perfectly on your choice of traditional, whole wheat or Sicilian crust. We opted for the traditional, which is of medium thickness, but I've heard that the thick Sicilian is very good.
Aside from pizza, Mio offers some standard grub -- hoagies, salads, calzones and appetizers -- prepared by the meticulous sensibilities of an executive chef. Patrick enjoyed mocking me when I told him that Mio sells one of the best takeout salads you'll ever find. After all, Pat and I don't really engage in these stomach-busting tours to talk about green stuff. Anyone who's ever had a typically nasty pizza shop salad, though, will appreciate the Mio salad options. Fresh vegetables and delicious combinations make Mio a regular salad stop for my family.
@bstephenson 12:02 PM, the next day: "Hey Patrick, maybe Rick Sebak will do a 'Things that aren't there anymore...' documentary about your colon."
Patrick's mustache rating for Mio: "
Freddy Mercury
-- A great mix of talent, strength and class. Taking chances and breaking down walls in an effort to redefine pizza and transcend genres. The symphony crowd respects it, and the stadium rock crowd feels it too. Showmanship with substance."
So that's it. Another travelogue of digestive shame in the books. Patrick and I were once again amazed by the quality of food in Pittsburgh and the passion of those who make it. Many of these pizza places were new to me, most of them were outstanding and all of them were unique.

I'm a new, and very young mom. The baby has just started crawling last Monday and now she's everywhere as you can imagine. I'm trying to teach her early on, in a nice way, what the word "no no" means. She looks at me like I've hurt her feelings when I tell her no, continues to do the action, and then nothing gets solved. I know she may not have the ability to reason at this age but I'd like to get her started with it. The other problem is, instead of listening or being receptive, she says the word "no no" as if she would say "mama." How can I clear up this confusion for her or is it lost hope right now?

One Direction: This Is Us Movie
You might probably know this already, but One Direction: This Is Us (rated PG) comes to theaters tomorrow!!!! I am a little bit excited so I wanted to share some beautiful photos from the world premiere of the film in London, and a few behind-the-scenes secrets. First a photo: Global superstars, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson introduce to you their big screen debut: One Direction: This Is Us! YAYYY!!!
From X-Factor in 2010 to instant smashdom, their debut album, Up All Night, released in October 2011, achieved a feat never before achieved by a British band: entering the U.S. Billboard chart at number one with their debut record. I first fell in love with them in February 2012, when they gave us this awesome and hilarious interview. (Notice how interested Niall and Louis are in Marie's New York accent. . . . foreshadowing "Best Song Ever.")
The band's sophomore album, Take Me Home turned 2012 into a banner year for the boys. The album's first single, "Live While We're Young," went straight to number one, and Take Me Home topped the charts in "turty-seven" countries (spoken in Niall's Irish accent).
In July, they released "Best Song Ever," a track written specifically for the film. The fun and cheeky video for the song broke records on VEVO with 12.4 million views in one day, making it the most viewed debut video ever on the platform.
The director Morgan Spurlock filmed in various locales for almost six months, including the band's performance in Mexico City in early June, 2013. The behind-the-scenes footage, which runs the gamut from backstage mischief before the show to touching hometown scenes, like Harry working at the family bakery, amounted to 500 hours of material. The boys were instrumental in helping Spurlock and the editors pick the most choice moments. Says Spurlock, "They've given really insightful feedback about things that are very personal to them . . . to things that they remembered that we shot that we have forgotten about, and to remind us to dig and find. It was like, 'Oh my gosh, you're right, that was a great moment.'"
Adds Spurlock, "You feel like you really do get to become a part of this journey and these boys and this band. I think every One Direction fan should take someone who isn't a One Direction fan, because I think when people see the movie, they'll see a different side to these boys that they probably didn't think existed or they didn't think they would enjoy. And I bet they'll convert a lot more fans than they think they will." (Harry says, That means YOU!")
Is Spurlock a 1D fan? It's not enough that they're "five good looking guys that get put together in a band. That happens all the time. But the fact that, you know, they actually had the talent and the ability and the drive to kind of push it as far as they have, and continue to do, is remarkable. I've seen thirty-plus One Direction concerts at this point," says Spurlock. "I am like a hardcore Directioner now!"
You and me both, Spurlock! I hope you all have a lovely time watching the movie. Leave a Comment to tell me if it lives up to your expectations. And PS, happy 20th birthday today, Liam!

Rep. Jim Matheson visited with constituents in Emery County during his Easter recess from Congress. He toured the Bucyrus mine repair in Huntington. James Wells, the manufacturing manager for the plant led Rep. Matheson through the plant and explained the operations performed there in mine machinery repair.
Wells explained the process involved in getting the coal out of the mountain. Matheson said he has been in a coal mine before and watched some of the machinery in action.
Wells showed Matheson a walker which is used to move the long wall from place to place. A ranging arm for a shearer was also at the shop being repaired. This rotating drum has bits which cut the coal and the crusher pulverizes the coal.
The Bucyrus company is 100 years old and recently merged the DBT operation into Bucyrus. When the coal mine repair first opened in Huntington it was called Long Airdox. The Bucyrus company has recently completed many new additions to the shop in Huntington. A new building was constructed adjacent to the existing building which now looks like one huge shop. A new office portion was added to the front of the building. The parking lot was paved. Bucyrus operates 24 hours a day during the week with weekends off. They are planning an open house in June to allow the surrounding communities to come and visit the facility and get a feel for what takes place at the plant.
Bucyrus takes a safety first approach with its employees and their tasks around the large machinery they repair. The plant in Huntington is a repair only facility and has 80 employees that come from the Emery and Carbon county area. Tim McCallun is the general manager over every plant in the West. Bucyrus has facilities throughout the country with satellite warehouses in Craig,Colo., Rock Springs, Wyo., Carlsbad, N.M., and Paonia, Colo. The main plant is in Houston, Penn. and manufacturing of mining equipment takes place there with manufacturing in Houston as well. It depends on the product line where the product is manufactured. All belt structures are manufactured at the Alabama facility. Equipment includes: shuttle cars, continuous miners, shearers, conveyor belts, scoops and coal haulers.
One part of the plant, Rep. Matheson seemed particularly impressed with was the storage recepticle for the parts needed in the repair of the machinery. A huge machine with trays inside are controlled by a computer which shows which parts are on each tray and the information for the part needed is put into the computer and the trays are rotated and the tray with the needed parts is brought forward like magic.
In order to save warehouse space the storage shelves reach far into the air and a fork lift brings the needed supplies down for the workers.
Bucyrus' customers are the global leaders in supplying coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands and other mined commodities to meet ever increasing demands.
The company has a long history and began creating surface mining equipment in 1880. Their underground mining roots stretch back to 1826.
Companies rely so much on their equipment and Bucyrus is there to see their equipment is repaired quickly and to the highest standards. They know that when equipment is down, precious time is being lost for production.
Surface mining equipment includes electric mining shovels, rotary blasthole drills and walking draglines.
Bucyrus is proud of their research department where they are always adding new technology to their products.
Bucyrus says their core business is to make your business a success story.

When a new business opens, many steps to the success of this business have already taken place. One step that may have been taken is acquiring the capital to open the doors for this business. Delynn Fielding, the director of Economic Development for Carbon County and a retired banker with 27 years experience, explained to the Castle Valley Summit goers how to get money from a banker.
"Let's consider the banker as a dragon. This dragon likes to eat paper and you cannot give him too much. He's very hungry and paper is the only thing that will make him happy. But, there are certain kinds of paper he likes best, and those are the papers you want to feed him when you are applying for a loan," said Fielding.
Fielding went on to say that the only thing more important to this dragon is that the person who is applying for the loan knows, in depth, what is in the papers. A person who is looking to a bank for help with a business start up must know how these papers relate to the business.
A business plan is more important to the business owner, the banker does not want that paper. But, the banker does want to know that the business owner knows the business plan.
Another helpful thing for a prospective owner to know are basic accounting principles. "Accounting for Management or Managerial Accounting are two very good classes for a prospective business owner to take," said Fielding. "When a person approaches a banker for a loan, the banker must know that the person is very familiar with each of the papers, what they mean, and how they affect the business. The primary language used between bankers and business is accounting."
Some of the papers the dragon likes to eat are contained in your loan proposal. They are: the summary; management profiles; business description; projections; financial statements; purpose of the loan; amount; and repayment plan. Each of these areas must be precise and detailed.
Another thing a person must know before he approaches a banker for a loan, is what kind of money he needs. There are two types, long term and short term money. A person must ask for the correct kind of money.
Short term financing is usually the kind that is for less than one year. It may cover items such as accounts receivable, inventory, or seasonal items. Long term financing is for more than one year. This type of financing would cover things like property purchases or equipment purchases.
Some of the key questions a banker will ask are: can the business repay the loan; can you repay the loan if the business fails; does the business collect its bills; does the business control its inventory; does the business pay its bills; are the officers committed to the business; does the business have a profitable operating history; does the business match its sources and uses of funds; are sales growing; does the business control expenses; are profits increasing as a percentage of sales; is there any discretionary cash flow; what is the future of the industry; and who is the competition and what are their strengths and weaknesses?
One of the things the banker will look at is the ability of the business owner to repay the loan. This is where the cash flow statements will be analyzed, as this is the primary source for repayment. The secondary source of repayment would be the collateral, but a person should know that the banker does not want your equipment, he is depending on you to repay the loan according to the terms. The banker is the first person you should inform in the event of a problem. This will alert him to the fact that you are thinking about repaying him.
"An important thing for a business owner to remember is too much growth, too quickly can do more harm to a business than good. The roots must be deep and secure to support the growth. Smaller, regular growth is preferred," stated Fielding.
"So feed the dragon, give him all he wants, let him know that you know what is in the paper, and give him full and complete disclosure. There is nothing he dislikes more than someone who is willing to hide things from him. Remember, the successful relationship between business and banking is when both sides make profits," concluded Fielding.

Skip to comments.Feingold ends Senate service (liberal Rat soon to join the ranks of the unemployed)
Posted on 12/28/2010 6:39:42 AM PST by rabscuttle385
Icon. Maverick. Liberal. Career politician.
U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold has been called many things during his time in the spotlight. But after nearly 30 years in politics, the junior senator from Wisconsin is coming home a private citizen.
When the final gavel falls on the 111th Congress, Feingold will be unemployed the victim of an angry electorate bent on change in Washington, D.C.
(Excerpt) Read more at host.madison.com ...
Don't let the door hit ya' where the good Lord split ya', you vile, corrupt old hustler.
Good riddance. Surely a job is waiting for Feingold at Center for American Progress.
Don't worry, they're trying to get Kohl out and install Foolsgold into his seat in '12.
Feingold served (himself) for 30 years in the senate and he's the JUNIOR senator?
It appears Wisconsin night have at least one other career politician who needs to be shown the door.
And like other Democrat losers, his stature within the Party will rise and he'll get a well-paid gig in HHS or some other government department to tide him over til the next attempt at elected/stolen office.
18 years. Kohl has been in for 22.
His final speech:
"Depression, unemployment, and high taxes.... It's just a little 'service' I provide."
Few members of congress can lay claim to as much damage in one career...
Oh, the irony. Two years after a watershed election based on Hope and Change in Washington, A socialist who supported that agenda is out of office because of "an angry electorate bent on change in Washington, D.C".
I guess that change that was voted in in 2008 was a little too much for that angry electorate...
Poor old Russ. 18 years at the Government tit, a big fat pension, and lifetime free medical care. Yea, he's a victim alright.
Can't you feel his pain, you brute?
Just another day in Congress.
Where he gets the big bucks is working for a lobbyist.
2010 was raising the flag, 2012 will be the bugle call..
The TpCaucus is growing strongly everywhere..
even in places machine politics has always been boss..
If he transferred to FERS in 1987, he'd have 7 years under CSRS ~ but that's 14 years service time, and that would give him about 20% of his high three, PLUS 23 more years under FERS, which would give him 46% times his high three. Total benefit would be 66% of his high three.
By federal standards either deal is fairly high, but that's because he had a high salary category ~ Congress critters get more than mere federal employees ~ a lot more!
Where Feingold will make the big bucks is for a couple of years working for a non-profit think tank in a sponsored chair, but he can make even more as a lobbyist after that.
How much do you folks think a superannuated Leftwingtard Fascist puke can make in this town ~ a little, a lot, just enough, or what?
Thank you Wisconsin.
I have absolutely no sympathy for Russ Feingold.
He now lives in the town where I ws raised & attended HS.
Sory to say that now. I don't think he lived there when I did.
Either way, he certainly has caused more problems for the USA citizens than those which he contributed to correcting. May he rot.
I certainly hope the Wisconsin voters can stay energized & prevent that from happening.
Some animals are more equal than others.
They's more than being more than equal ~ they're even more than equal to their own criminal class.
In a couple more decades it will be possible that a Congress critter retiring under the FERS system will get a pay raise!
I suspect that will serve to limit service times.
Just walk it back. You'd need 101% of high 3 to beat your current salary (assuming no COLA) in those last 3 years. That would take 51 years of FERS service time ~ and for a Congress critter that can be OTHER government time whether state, local or military. Your youngest Critter would have had to have had his parent's permission to sign up for the Marines at the age of 17. Take that forward 51 years, and you'd have someone 68 years of age.
Now, deduct sick-leave. Over 40 years of regular federal service (20 terms in Congress) he'd have gotten 2080 hours of sick leave, and although not counted now for service time with FERS, it most certainly will be someday, so he could be just 67 years of age and retire from Congress and instantly draw higher pay than he was getting in Congress.
We can work that out in a combo FERS/CSRS/Military/Other government time options and it's likely someone could be in his early 50s and do that trick!
No doubt the exact computer program to figure it all out is circulating on Capitol Hill as we speak!
Sadly, that RAT will probably be named as a Professor of Political Science at a Wisconsin University.
You might be a liberal if...
...you think there's something sad about the end of a thirty-year political career.

Beautiful page, Gayle. It's a lovely challenge. I agree that your page needs no embells. THe flowers do it all on this page!
This looks a nice place to visit. This would make a lovely cover for a gardening magazine.
Wow, this is gorgeous, Gayle! Your photos are stunning and I like how the flower ones pop underneath the lake one. Beautiful layout.
Oh my, you took some beautiful photos, Gayle! I love the ducks swimming, and, of course those gorgeous rhododendrons. This seems like a beautiful garden to visit. Nice template, too - must check that out. I got a chuckle out of your personal "no roses!" challenge, too.
The big photo is really lovely. I like the pretty flower photos and the fact that you did not use any embellishments. I love this layout.
What a beautiful place. Those flowers are mesmerizing. Perfect template for displaying the location and beauty.
I love your gorgeous pictures and simple design. Lovely page!
What gorgeous photos! I was in Ireland one year during this season & they were growing wild in the fields. The wild ones were beautiful, but when you got onto the grounds of the great houses, my word - they were glorious.
This is such a great design - so simple, but lets the the photos really steal the show.

238: Pet Peeve 114
- The correct title of this page is 238: Pet Peeve #114. It appears incorrectly here because of technical restrictions.
|Pet Peeve #114
Title text: I'm reading a goddamn book, thank you very much.
[edit] Explanation
A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it. Cueball counts his pet peeves, this is number 114.
Cueball's friend calls him and finds out that he is reading a book on a "Saturday Night". Saturday night, or the weekend in general, is supposed to be a time for enjoying or partying with friends after five weekdays of work. But Cueball is annoyed by the fact that people are stuck with the stereotype of partying out on weekends. In his view, reading a good book is also a great way of enjoying the weekend. His annoyance is expressed in the title text.
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball reading a book in a chair.]

"I have determined the statutory remedy has already been accomplished by the resignation of Attorney General John Swallow," said the Lt. Governor. "I will forward the final special investigation report to the county attorneys and the House investigative committee for any possible criminal or civil actions under other applicable laws."
Last Friday, the Lt. Governor received the final report of the special investigation of Swallow. He has spent the last few days carefully evaluating the full report and the statute required by law for the Elections Office to follow.
If the court were to find Swallow violated the election code, the judge would enter an order declaring void the election and declare the office vacant. This process would take approximately six months and cost over $200,000.
"Some have misinterpreted this statute to mean a special election would be called to fill the vacancy if a judge declared void the election of Swallow. Utah law does not contain a lawful mechanism to hold a special election for a candidate under any circumstances," said the Lt. Governor. "Even if this was a correct interpretation, after a six month trial, candidate filing period, election preparations, and the advance mailing of ballots, this special election would likely not occur until the already scheduled November 2014 election. Not to mention, the cost to hold a statewide special election is approximately $3 million dollars. Double that if a primary is needed."
The Lt. Governor has asked special counsel to provide recommendations on how the election code could improve, particularly in campaign disclosure and the election complaint process.

Bob and Lee lights run a big working farm and your guests at the farm. Lee Cox out a wonderful breakfast enjoying using their own natural and organic products, including milk, pork, eggs, etc. We brought home a number of their frozen beefalo and pork products. Tried raw milk for the first time. Met fellow guests from Australia, France and Ecuador -- and some from New Jersey as well.

Wow, we lucked out by choosing this place. Quiet, beautiful, wonderful house, terrific hosts, and breakfast made with farm fresh ingredients: milk, eggs, maple syrup, probably even the bacon was from the farm. Guests are also encouraged to take a long walk in the woods (a big loop trail is probably 4 miles) with their well behaved golden retrievers. Our hosts were wonderful, too. I didn't give rooms an excellent rating only because this is a farmhouse, not a 4-star hotel, and rooms are not huge. But you will be happy. We stayed in the non-traditional addition in the back (was a granny unit) and were very happy to have the additional space. For return trips to Vermont we will stay here - no need to look further.

At last week's 2A/3A Warm up in St. George, the Emery High softball team won four and lost just one in the two-day tourney in southern Utah. On Friday Emery defeated Summit Academy 12-0 and Logan 13-1. On Saturday Emery defeated Moapa Valley 13-3 and Weber 15-8 before losing their final contest of the tournament, a loss to Silverado High by the score of 16-7.
Against Summit Academy, Makayla Clark was the Spartan pitcher and limited Summit to no runs and only two hits in the game. Tayler Payne paced the Spartans with three RBI's and had one of three Emery base hits. Emery scored a lot of runs because of walks and errors committed by Summit defense, 11 in all.
Against Logan, neither team scored in the first inning but Emery scored nine in the top of the second to really take control of the game. After Logan scored their only run in the bottom of the inning, Emery added four more runs in the top of the third and won the game by 12.
Payne was the pitcher for Emery in this game. Haylee Beckstead led the team offensively with three base hits and two RBI's. Emery also had base hits in the game from Ashton Bell with two and Abby Jacobsen, Clark and Payne with one each.
Saturday morning, Ashton Bell pitched the team to the victory over Moapa Valley as she limited them to three runs and three base hits. Emery had 10 hits in the game to help them score their 13 runs. Clark led the effort with the bat by having three hits including a double. Gentry Noyes and Bell each had two base hits in the game. One of Bell's was a triple and one of Noyes was a double. Payne added a triple while Beckstead had a double and Kambrie Hinkins had the other hit in the game.
Emery then played Weber a run in every inning on their way to winning this game. Emery batters were feeling it at the plate as all nine batters had at least one base hit as the Spartans had 20 of them in this game. Beckstead was one of four batters to have three base hits in the game with hers including two doubles and a homerun. She had four RBI's. Noyes also had three hits with one being a double and another being a homerun. Bell also had three hits with one being a homerun. Amber Petersen was the other Emery batter with three base hits.
Abby Jacobsen, Hinkins and Clark all had two base hits in the game with one of Clarks going for a double. Payne and Jadree Huntington each had a single in this game. Bell pitched this game also.
In the final game that Emery played, Silverado was too much for the Spartans and Emery for the first time in St. George had an error problem as they had seven of those in the game. Clark on the mound only allowed 10 base hits but with the errors Silverado scored 16 runs, too many for Emery to overcome.
Emery scored seven runs off a good pitcher and had five hits to go with them. Emery scored three runs in the first inning as Noyes and Bell got on base due to errors and Jacobsen walked and Beckstead followed with a double to score all three.
In the third inning Emery added two more runs. Clark led things off with a double and then Beckstead walked, Payne got hit by a pitch to load the bases and then Petersen and Hinkins each walked to force in two runs. Emery added their final two runs in the fourth inning. Noyes doubled to lead things off followed by a Bell single. With two out Beckstead had another double to close out Emery's hits and scoring in the game. Emery will open region play this week with a Tuesday game at Grand High and a Friday game at North Sevier.
Emery High hosted the Carbon High Lady Dinos in the Dinos first action of the season last Tuesday and the Spartans were too good of host as the visiting team went home with an 18-7 win over the home team. Carbon had 21 base hits in the game as every batter had at least one and one, Lauren Rice had five.
The Dinos scored one run in the first inning as Katie Bassinger had a single, Rice had a single and Chandelle Nichols had another single to score Bassinger. Carbon added two more runs in the second inning with Alexis Wilson hitting a three-run double after Bassinger walked, Chene Bigelow doubled and Rice hit a single.
Carbon added two more in the top of the third inning to lead 6-0. In that inning, Taylor Passarella doubled followed by Kimberly Johnson getting on base and Bigelow singling to score the runs.
In the bottom of the third Emery scored four runs to narrow the gap to 6-4 and gave the Emery fans hope that things were finally going a little bit their way and that the game was finally a game.
Gentry Noyes led off the inning with a single followed by a single from Abby Jacobsen and a walk to Ashton Bell to load the bases. Makayla Clark then singled scoring two runs for the Spartans and it left two runners on base. After a pair of outs, Amber Petersen singled scoring the final runs of the inning. Emery's enthusiasm was short lived however.
In the top of the fourth inning Carbon would put together five base hits, a hit batter and two Emery errors to score seven runs and now lead the game 13-4. Rice, Passarella, Paige Haeck and Rice again all had singles in the inning with Bassinger having a double. Wilson got hit by a pitch. Emery could not answer in the bottom of the inning.
Both teams would score three runs in the fifth inning. Carbon got theirs off of five hits and a walk. Nichols, Passarella, Bigelow, McKenna Sorenson and Rice each had a single with Bassinger receiving a base on balls.
In the bottom of the inning, Jacobsen singled followed by a pair of fielder's choices by Bell and Clark and a double by Hailee Beckstead and a single by Taylor Payne for Emery's three runs.
Carbon added two more runs in the top of the sixth inning to end the game after six. Passarella singled and Johnson doubled and both scored in the inning for the final runs of the day. Rice had five base hits with Passarella having four and Bigelow had three to pace the team. Bassinger, Wilson and Sorenson each had three RBI's. Bassinger, Wilson, Passarella, Johnson and Bigelow each had a double in the game. For Emery, Beckstead had two doubles for Emery's only extra base hits and Jacobsen had a pair of singles. Noyes, Clark, Payne and Petersen had Emery singles. Sorenson was the winning pitcher for Carbon and Clark was the losing pitcher for Emery. Bell relieved in the final two innings.

Report on SOAR 2
by gwilson on Jul.10, 2009, under Uncategorized
Today we saw completion of our second Summer Orientation And Registration (SOAR) session. During these two-day events, incoming McMurry students learn all about college life at McMurry and get their schedules set for the fall semester.
So where do we stand, now that we are half way through the registration process (there is another SOAR and a good number of students always register at the beginning of school)? We have 27 students in the first BIMS course – BIMS 1300 Introduction to Scientific Research. This course introduces students to looking at science and studying life science in a new and engaging way. If we keep on the current track, we should see at least a 50% increase in BIMS majors this year, proof that our approach is gaining momentum and students are "buying in" to our new way of teaching.
How are the other freshman-year Biology courses doing? There are 18 signed up for the BIOL 1301 Unicellular Organisms class, which is offered both fall and spring. BIMS majors must take this with the BIMS 1101 Unicellular Lab, which is only offered in the spring, so it is a good bet that many of these are Biology majors instead of BIMS majors. Botany (the first course for BS in Biology majors) has 24 enrolled, while the Human Anatomy & Physiology I course sits at 60 right now. This course is needed for Nursing, Exercise Science, and Life Sciences majors. These are exciting times for our BIMS/Biology faculty!
What does this tell us? At this point, it appears 1 in every 4-5 freshman students enrolling at McMurry this fall has an interest in a Biology Department program. With so many of the predicted "hot jobs" of the future centered in healthcare, biotech/forensics, the environment, and medical research, it is not surprising that so many of our students gravitate toward them. BIMS was a program whose time had come, and our offering this exciting program says we're preparing students for prosperous and successful futures!

Comments: I have caught some big bass on this lure this year. I have been targeting heavy submerged vegetation & lay downs. This bait is really easy to walk but I find that giving it a hard pop & letting it sit for a few seconds will call big fish up. I swapped out the treble hooks with Gamakatsu's. I purchased the Funky Tiger in the 88 size. You will not be disappointed with this bait, I promise!
From: Matt: Frederick, MD
Comments: The 88 in Funky Tiger has become my go-to topwater. Walking this bait over grass that hasn't topped out has boated me some Guntersville monsters. This year, I caught more than 40 fish on this topwater. Had to replace both hooks because of the heavy use, but that's expected with any lure. Great action and great lure. Best $8 I spent this year.
From: Justin: Guntersville, AL 9/9/14
Comments: Guys im here to tell you, you will not find a better popper for under $15 then this one. Walks, spits, does about anything a rico will do. Bass love them and they are extremely durable. The diacchi hooks are dangerously sharp.
From: Steve
Comments: awesome bait. i purchased the large one Aurora Black, it is like walking the dog on steroids. fished it twice in slow conditions and caught bass 5lb'ers each time. very fun to fish with, work it slow and if bass are present they will smoke it. i promise they can't resist. i did put larger hooks on it.
From: Michael: meadville,ms,usa
Comments: Don't waste your money, used once filled with water on second cast due to flaw in the manufacturing process
From: Pete: MD
Comments: This is an excellent popper. The quality is top notch with the sharpest hooks I have ever seen a bait come with. The smallies are killing this thing. I'd recommend this lure in a second. You definately won't be disappointed in the craftsmanship and quality of this lure.
From: Cory: Upper Midwest
Comments: Don't waste your money. No better than any other popper and twice the price.
Comments: i purchased 3 of these poppers when they first hit the market. they are great baits and the only popper that comes close to the best ever, which is the hula popper. fish them slow and you cannot go wrong. color is not important altho black is my choice. their like a pop "r" on steroids.
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: got 2 of the bubble walkers and they work great and one of these but got it in the smallest size and it was a little to small so im getting the 3.5 inch and cant wait for it to get here
From: Matt: IL
Comments: Great topwater lure for morning and evening. Its unique profile and holes in the mouth allow this thing to pop, swoosh, and leave bubbles across the top of the water for added visuals. Stays true, and the hooks are extremely sharp.
From: Daniel: Spokane, WA

Marquette players have big shoes to fill...
by Radio Joe
posted Nov 9 2012 1:46PM
I hate to say it, but don't expect too much from Marquette this season.
There's too much uncertainty. While Buzz Williams and his staff continue to be outstanding recruiters (when they follow the rules), there's no way to tell how good this year's team will be. You have to remember that they lost two of their BIGGEST weapons during the offseason – Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom.
To show a sample size of what those two meant to the team, take a look at this. Between both players, they averaged 35.8 points per game and 11.9 rebounds per game. If you do the math, those impressive numbers amount to 47.5 and 32.8 percent of Marquette's team totals from last season. There's no question that the players on this year's roster will have some serious shoes to fill. The question is - who's going step up?
If Marquette can stay healthy, unlike last season, they could be a little more legit. The return of center Chris Otule is a major boost. I'm expecting a big year from Otule because he's going to have something to prove as a senior. Forward Davante Gardner is also an intriguing figure in the low post. At 6'8'' and 290 pounds, this big boy was a force to reckon with last season, while he was healthy. His height has been an issue, but Gardner makes up for it in his bulky weight. Driving to the hoop, opposing players may be running into a brick wall. If Buzz decides to start Otule with Gardner, that could be a dangerous combo. I'm also a big fan of Jamil Wilson. While he doesn't have the height or size of the other two, that kid can shoot and get you boards. He's going to get a lot of playing time going forward. Also, Juan Anderson is a good off-the-bench defender and freshman forward Steve Taylor, Jr. is getting a lot of love from Buzz. These frontcourt players can get you points in the paint as well.
From a frontcourt perspective, Marquette can survive if those five players remain healthy. However, when it comes to the backcourt, I'm very skeptical. This team has a boat-load of guards (eight to be exact). To me, they all have question marks on their heads. It appears Buzz Williams will start Junior Cadougan, Vander Blue, and transfer senior Trent Lockett against Ohio State tonight. Can these three players make up at least some of the offense that Crowder and DJO left behind? Let's look at the numbers…
Last season with significant minutes, Cadougan averaged 6.3 points per game, shooting only 38 percent from the field, 24 percent from three-point land. When it came to free throws, he was close to 69 percent. He averaged close to two rebounds and three turnovers per game as well. Like Otule, Cadougan is a senior this year. While his numbers last season are disappointing, he still has a lot of talent. His speed, agility, and mobility could play a big factor in hisperformance. I'm hoping he has a more improved season.
With so many expectations coming from Madison, Vander Blue has underperformed. I'm still waiting for this kid to take his game to the next level. Taking a look at his numbers last season, Blue averaged about 26 minutes, shooting 41 percent from the field, about 25 percent beyond the arc, and around 70 percent in free throws. Blue averaged 8.4 points per game. He was a decent rebounder with close to five boards per game. It's time for Vander Blue to show who he really is. Will the real Vander Blue please stand up?
Then, there's Trent Lockett, a transfer guard from Arizona State. Of the three starting guards, Lockett is the most intriguing. In his last two seasons with ASU, Lockett averaged 13 points per game. Playing over 30 minutes per game, Lockett has maintained a shooting percentage around .500 in his last three seasons. Last year, he was 41 percent from three point land. He can get you rebounds and assists, but his turnover rate has been a little high. If there's someone that can make up for some of the offense, I would choose Trent Lockett. It will be interesting to see how he makes the transition from the PAC-12 to the Big East, though.
As for Todd Mayo, I don't know if he's going to amount to anything. He needs to get his act together quickly. I guess him and Buzz have established a better relationship...Only time will tell if this team needs him badly...
As for the other five guards on this team, I don't know too much about them. Once MU gets into Big East action, we'll see which guards become solid off-the-bench options for Buzz Williams. I am expecting sophomore guard Derrick Wilson, though, to have more of an expanded role this season, than last season.
As you can see, there is a lot of talent here, probably more defensive than offensive. I can't say any of these players are garbage either. Once again, though, you're asking for a lot of players to take their games to a level like Crowder and DJO did. I don't believe any of these players on this Marquette team are NBA bound as of right now. Marquette will be competitive and may crack the Top 25 throughout the season. Don't expect them to reach the Top 10, though. With a chance of being on the bubble, they should still make the NCAA Tournament in March.
Final record for the season: (this excludes invites and the Big East Tourny)

Go Big Red!
By summer 1991, Dahmer was murdering approximately one person each week. He killed Matt Turner on June 30, Jeremiah Weinberger on July 5, Oliver Lacy on July 12, and finally Joseph Brandehoft on July 19. Dahmer got the idea that he could turn his victims into "zombies" — completely submissive, eternally youthful sexual partners – and attempted to do so by drilling holes into their skulls and injecting hydrochloric acid or boiling water into the frontal lobe area of their brains with a large syringe, usually while the victim was still alive.[33] Other residents of the Oxford Apartments complex noticed terrible smells coming from Apartment 213, as well as the thumps of falling objects and the occasional buzzing of a power saw.[34] Unlike many serial killers,[citation needed] Dahmer killed victims from a variety of racial backgrounds. - UNTIL NEXT TIME MILWAUKEE!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA :) :) :)
