The story centres on Elena Michaels (portrayed by Laura Vandervoort), a female werewolf who is torn between a normal life with her human boyfriend Philip in Toronto and her "family" obligations as a werewolf in upstate New York. Among her pack is her ex-fiancé Clayton, who is responsible for her becoming a werewolf.I think this show was brilliant from episode 1 and just got better and better. I was pleased with Laura V'andervoort performance as Elena. She exhibits strength and a certain desperate vulnerability as she's trying to maintain a "normal" life. Once I got beyond the lack of accent and curls, Greyston's portrayal of Clay has me intrigued – he's got the seriousness down pat – and eager to see how he interacts with Elena. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Logan's character.As with any adaptation, the thing you have to remember is that what works for a book doesn't always work for television/film. It's a different medium so the story must be adapted accordingly. Give the actors a chance. Give the writers a chance. Let's see what they can do. And at the end of the day, if it helps, remember that these are Kelley's characters and what's shown on tv doesn't change what you read in the books. Her books are cannon. The tv show is just a fun adaptation and a new way to look at some of the characters we love. If you don't like it, don't watch. As for me, I love these characters so much.The story arc for the season goes at an even pace and the season one cliffhanger is so shocking it keeps wanting more.Season 2 of BITTEN starts about three days after the ending of season 1 as Elena (Laura Vandervoort) and her werewolf pack are searching for Malcolm Danvers (who has kidnapped the pregnant mate of one of their pack). They soon realize that witches also want Malcolm Danvers Season 2 introduces some new characters like witch coven leader Ruth Winterbourne and her daughter Paige as witches and werewolves may have to team up together to stop a common foe who wants to control the world of the supernatural. Elena wants revenge (for the murder of her Toronto boyfriend which I think was better for her than hotheaded Clay) so bad and she struggles with it. Jeremy deals with wolf pack politics as other pack heads want to take control away from him if he doesn't bring them Malcolm Danvers.The second episode highlights how Clay Danvers (Greystone Holt) was bitten by a werewolf. It is interesting to see more of the power struggles involved within the worlds of the werewolf packs in addition to introducing new characters. BITTEN is still a series for fans who loved the first season and it does good follow up on the events of season one while setting the stage for new conflicts. Clay still seems like a jerk while the other werewolves are various degrees of being cold with Elena being the warm one who is in danger of losing the humanity she was fighting to keep when she left her pack before season 1. I hope fans of the Otherworld novels (by Kelly Armstrong) will continue to check out the show and maybe even fans of the TV series will read Kelly Armstrong's novels. I can't wait to see how this season develops as the world of BITTEN opens up a little bit more.This season The Pack gets some female visitors, when some witches come to them for their support. Tammy Isbell, Tommie Amber Pirie and Kiara Glasco are taking on the roles of Ruth Winterbourne, Paige Winterbourne, and Savannah Levine. each episodes brings a brilliant slice of the season 2's story arc. The Witches are a welcome addition to the show, the moment they team up with the wolves it brings new dimensions to the original cast members and enriches the series, bring on season 3.

1) A rogue three-year-old can accomplish some serious landscaping with a wayward pair of pliers.
2) There really is no limit to the number of times a skinny four-year-old will stand on the bottom of the dock ladder demanding to be lifted into the water, then immediately chatter his teeth dramatically and say "I don't want to go swimming", be put back on the ladder and... well, I'm pretty sure we were stuck in an infinite loop there for a while.
3) The 'African Lion' fireworks should really be renamed the 'African Lion immediately after eating Mexican tourist stuffed full of burritos' fireworks. (Eve: "My favourite were the farting fireworks!")
4) When you tell a kid forty-two times to put on his shoes before he goes outside and he goes outside without his shoes on and steps on something and hurts his foot you're still not allowed to say I told you so.
5) Three, four and six-year-olds generally do not consider strawberries to be dessert.
6) There is a very subtle tone difference that tells you when the six-year-old is saying No stop hitting me with the pillows and not meaning it and when she is saying the exact same thing and meaning it. If you do not immediately hear this tone difference from two rooms away and rush in to make the three and four-year-old stop hitting her with the pillows, you are a terrible excuse for a mother and you should not be allowed to have any more wine.
7) If you give a kid a fish, he may or may not eat for a day. If you teach a bunch of kids to fish, they will spend hours out on the dock happier than pigs in shit, and leave you alone to drink wine in the cottage with the other grown-ups, other than when their line is tangled or someone falls in.
Good times, my friends. Good times.

Concord University released the following statement Monday, Nov. 18:
"On November 15, 2013, three Concord University Football Players were arrested stemming from an incident off campus earlier in the week. The three players in question were immediately suspended from the team on November 15, 2013, pending an investigation. The Concord University Athletic Department is fully cooperating with the investigating officers. Both the University and the Athletic Department were disappointed to learn of the situation. Concord University and its Athletic Department fully expect our Athletes to be role models and leaders in the community and in no way condone the type of behavior for which these athletes have been charged and will take the appropriate action. At this time, the Concord University Athletic Department will withhold further comment, as it is University policy not to comment on open investigations."
ATHENS, W. Va. — An investigation is underway after an alleged altercation in Mercer County last Monday involving three Concord University football players.
Mercer County Sheriff's deputies arrested Russell Bailey Jr., 22, of Beckley, Maricco Sanders, 22, of Welford, S.C. and Riyahd Richardson, 22, also of Welford, on Friday in connection with the incident.
All three men are charged with malicious wounding, petit larceny and conspiracy stemming the incident at an Athens apartment complex.
Deputies said the three men went to the apartment for an apparent drug purchase when an altercation ensued. A gun was brandished during the incident but no shots were fired.
At this time the incident is being treated as a robbery/home invasion.
Execute drug DEALERS!!! Our drug problem will virtually go away.
I just like the way metro news is reporting this and they don't cover or report ANY of the MEC games during regular season. There are a lot of in state kids playing football in the MEC! Would it hurt to report on the good things these players are doing in games? It would be better than writing about WVU's losing football team.
Joseph Goebbels
More proof that sports programs need scaled back and down.. ..
Soon it will take 2 years of college to equal the level of education our fathers received with a high school diploma.
Straight from the pages of History.
Curly Joe
Not what you think of when you think of Concord students. Is any community immune to this plague?
Joseph Goebbels
Well, they can catch a football. That's all that counts... The President of Concord needs fired
So Jacob it's bogus for 2 innocent people to press charges agains 3 grown men when they go in someone house and hurt a girl plus beat the hell out of her boyfriend? How about you stay the hell out of it cause you know how it feels, actually you don't know anything at all!!!
I looked up innocent on websters and it didnt say anything about drug dealers or pill heads.
You don't know how it feels*
Did Jabob just refer to himself in the 4th person ?! Lol!
Jacob, if you know so much about police corruption, why don't you go to the media so they can do some investigative journalism?
It's about time these punks got arrested.
Tim C
Jacob must have ties to Concord's football team.
Jacob has witnessed police corruption first hand, and yes, I do have ties.
Well congratulations wv metro news. You gave these pathetic excuse for police officers exactly what they wanted. A news article. For anyone who is wondering, since metro news can't do any investigation of their own, a drug DEALER is the person pressing these bogus charges. The police won't help you find your 4 wheeler, but they'll help out a drug dealer! Give a round of applause for WV's finest folks!
Jacob... Was your daddy the one to loan the Bailey's bail money?
The last time I checked, police performed criminal investigations, not media websites. If they weren't there to buy drugs, what were they doing in a drug dealer's apartment?
Apparently you've never heard of investigative journalism. Look it up. When did I say they weren't there to buy drugs AKA pot? What drug related charges were they charged with? Do you ever ask yourself questions or just take what is given? You'd have been a perfect Nazi!
Joseph Goebbels
Son, you speak of what you don't know.. You probably don't even recognize my name.
I recognize your name! Jacob should as well! Think he could have your DNA. LOL
Call it what ya want. Thats why we have court folks!
Jacob You are a total idiot or a drug head yourself. You need to grow up. Your nothing but a little punk. To bad the police still must protect scum like you.
Mauldawg, you have a drug addled mind and are full of hatred, i cant help you. You need to get with the times ya prehistoric waste of a human body. What are you 200? See, i have a keyboard too...
Well.....surely they arrested the DRUG DEALER as well...right?
Did you have your four-wheeler stolen and these same cops do the investigation? Just curious. Not sure why you injected this into your comment.

Blah... I think from the moment in 7th grade when my crush looked up at me and said "Wow Cara, only in 7th grade and already have a double chin hu?" I have had a poor view of my body image. ... I shouldn't have let it affect me like that, but I did. It was just the beginning of realizing I didn't fit the "mold"
This is a hard post for me to write about... BUT- I know that we as women and even men struggle with this, So, I'll just put myself out there! "Take one for the team!" :)
The other day, I was getting ready to go to the store and I was frustrated with the way my clothes were fitting. Ben will be 7 months old soon and I still felt huge. I sucked in a bit and smoothed out my shirt as I did my usual subconscious nip and tuck in my mind.. when I realized what I was doing! I was staring at my body while comparing it to my body I had in high school! Now, I'm not saying it's not possible to loose the weight... but I'm certain that in high school, I did the same thing- looking in the mirror feeling huge and unattractive.
"What's the deal with that? Why do I do this to myself??" I thought. I reminded myself that I have had 3 babies and that I hadn't been exercising, so this is what it is. It wasn't that I was trying to justify, it was just me being REAL with myself. I don't think I've been "REAL" to myself while looking in the mirror since age 12. (I know, sounds ridiculous, but true). Then I did something. It's simple and I'm pretty sure nothing novel, but I looked at myself in the mirror as if I was seeing someone else. I looked at myself as I would look at a stranger, and you know what? All of a sudden I didn't look so bad!
It was so L I B E R A T I N G!
I saw myself in a whole new light. I saw who I was instead of what I needed to do to get where I thought I needed to be. This may sound really strange, or maybe you can relate.... but it was if I was looking at a different person! I hadn't seen ME in so long, I actually felt like someone else was in the mirror. It was a really eye opening experience... literally! I looked at my eyes, the ones that I always wished were larger and more catching... but I saw my small eyes with barely any sight of eyelid... and I actually liked them. I went through my features and I felt "OK" with myself for the first time in a really really long time! I vowed right then and there to accept myself for who I was. I didn't want to "hide" anymore. From myself, or anyone else. This was my body! I needed to love it, I needed to show my kids that so they wouldn't acquire my complexes. I felt so good.
Thennnnn..... I went to Saint George.
I love that place. It is like a 2nd home to me. My parents own a condo there and we have visited almost my entire life. It has a very retro feel to it, and thankfully for the condo, mirrors and coral colored everything seems to be back! :) The condo has an INSANE amount of mirrors.
|(This isn't the condo, but imagine this in every room, in the hallway, in the entry way and bathrooms.)
I quickly regressed and was sick with the way I looked.
I felt like hiding.
I quickly had a little pep talk with myself and I decided I obviously needed to loose weight and that I was not going to allow the goal to only be to "look good"... Appearances are important, but there was so much more to me then being pleasing to look at.
I thought back to an experience my SIL shared with me about her 7 year old daughter who already started having body image issues....What she had said to her daughter turned on a light switch for me. It was a tender moment I didn't want to slaughter with trying to re-tell, so I asked her to type out the experience so I could share it here......
"A while back my super confident and bubbly daughter was having a rough day. After talking for a while, I finally got to the root of her problem. My beautiful, tall, gorgeous 7-year old daughter was worried that her thighs were too big. The moment I had been dreading as a mother of 3 girls had come...the moment when my girl started doubting herself and comparing herself to the worlds standard of beautiful. The worst part was...I could completely relate to what she was saying. I remember in kindergarten being teased about being fat...those things always stay with you. Even when I was fresh out of high school and wearing a size 0, I still always thought of myself as a "bigger" girl. Now my daughter was beginning to think about these things and compare herself to other girls, it nearly made me sick to my stomach. Thank goodness...I have learned a few things since those kindergarten days, and I felt impressed to
to share a few things that have helped me in my quest to appreciate this body that I have been blessed with. I told her to take a good look at my thighs. "Do you think I have really skinny legs?" I asked her. The answer was OBVIOUSLY no Then I went on to say, "You are right! I do NOT have skinny legs. But you know what? These legs are STRONG. They are getting stronger every time that I go running, and my muscles are getting bigger, and I am getting closer and closer to achieving a goal that I have worked really hard towards. That is what I see when I look at these legs." Then we talked about my tummy. It's not a perfectly flat stomach...and lets face it, after 5 babies it probably never will be But it is a stomach that safely carried 5 beautiful children until they were strong enough to come into this world. I am grateful now that we had that experience. It was not only a wonderful teaching moment for me and my daughter, but a wonderful reminder to ME of how blessed I am to have the body that I do. Throughout 4 of my 5 pregnancies I have spent significant amounts of time on bedrest, unable to do even the smallest of tasks for myself. Each time it happens, I am always reminded of what a tremendous blessing this jiggly, saggy body of mine is. I may not fit into those skinny jeans (YET!;) but I can play duck, duck goose with my kids. I may not be ready for swimsuit season, but I am getting closer and closer to running a half marathon in September. I may fall short of the worlds definition of beauty or skinny, but I want my kids to know every single pound, stretch mark and dimple was worth it!"
-Tonii Johnson "Blue Skies Ahead" ptskjohnson.blogspot.com
Isn't that wonderful? I love the concept of ability rather then looks. Being grateful for what our bodies have the capacity to DO rather then how we can appear to ourselves and others.
Outward beauty is just that - BEAUTIFUL. But beauty is a broad word because we are all different. Beautiful doesn't have to mean the same thing for everyone. I feel like focusing more on developing ourselves to our capacity will bring a confidence that will scream beauty.
This is a hard subject for me, but I don't want it to be. What are your thoughts and observations? How do we get our minds out of the habits of insecurity in our image? How do we allow ourselves to look how we REALLY look without always having a "project" for our various features to make them look they way "beautiful" has been defined in our culture? I want us all to get out of this never reaching mindset. I'd really love to know your thoughts on this! :)

L'Explorateur Looking for New Space
The word is out. Cory reports this afternoon that Chef Neal Brown and his real estate broker are making the rounds looking for more suitable space with an eye to moving L'Explorateur downtown. It's been a pretty open secret that Neal's been contemplating some changes and I felt reluctant to break it here, especially since there really wasn't any news to break. The fact is that a) the building they're in now, the former Tavola di Tosa space, is a wreck and starting to get expensive, and b) let's be honest, their current location is not great. Broad Ripple is trending towards downscale establishments, parking is only going to get worse, and "tucked away" and "hard to find" are not really adjectives you want applied to your restaurant. L'explorateur has to increase its numbers to survive.

I have been wriggling and writhing. Squirming and stretching. Even been doing a little bit of contortion. But I just can't quite fit.
Nothing to do with bulging waistlines. I just can't quite squeeze myself into a pigeon hole. Way too old to be a typical backpacker. Definitely not a grey nomad. Could I be a flashpacker?
These are backpackers who enjoy the odd upmarket escape from roughing it. I'll confess it sounds plausibly me. Or at least it did until I found an article suggesting flashpackers are generally in their 30s and 40s and not "middle aged". No longer plausible, actually now impossible.
But it got me wondering. What is middle age? When does it start and when does it terminate? Sorry for the brutal language. There's a rare old scholarly debate about that one. But for most of us, trying to pin down the middle years is a little like defining beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. Some vague research suggested the young often see middle age ending at 55. Yikes. At the other extreme the old tend to believe middle age isn't over until you're 70. Good on 'em.
So here I am. I don't really fit any easy traveller category but I'm definitely rooted in middle age. In a world obsessed with labels and niches I thought it best that I invent my own. So welcome to the world of the NONY – Not Old, Not Young, just somewhere in…...
I live in Noosa, Queensland, average age is in the high NONYs. It's beautiful, a backpacker's destination in its own right, although if truth be told I take it somewhat for granted. It's a lovely place to live, not an easy place to leave. But the world is calling. The seductive, siren voices of travel have been cooing in my direction for a while and now it's time to coo back.
"Backpacking did you say?". This was the very nice receptionist when I phoned to book my travel jabs. "How old are you?".
Now some people tell me my voice is my best feature. I't's probably not a compliment but I fool myself into thinking my phone manner is an exotic mix of youthful, virile and sophisticated. Her tone implied otherwise.
"You wouldn't get me doing that at your age", she had ploughed on without even asking my age. It was a little deflating. "Isn't backpacking what we all did a long time ago before we discovered nice hotels?"
Sad to she's not alone. Many friends have choked on their carbernets when first hearing of the plan. I/they tend to lead comfortable lives. Admittedly some camp. But the closest they get to hardship is when the croissants are frozen not fresh.
Younger guys react very differently. Slightly smug smirks are their norm.
Oh dear. It's not looking promising. And yet I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not alone. Is anybody out there?

William Lyon
Thank you, Larry. Welcome ladies and gentlemen and thank you for taking the time to join us today. I am pleased to report another strong quarter results for William Lyon Homes, during which we recorded year-over-year improvement in a number of our key operational and financial metrics.
We delivered 663 homes during the second quarter, which is up 20% year-over-year and 22% sequentially, generating $325 million of home sales revenue, which is up 31% for the second quarter of 2015 and represents our 16 consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in home sales revenue.
Our pre-tax net income for the second quarter was $22.6 million and our after-tax net income was $14.6 million or $0.38 per diluted share, up 19% over the second quarter of 2015. We continue to experience healthy demand dynamics in our core Western markets, driven by positive demographics, employment growth against the continued backdrop of limited new home supply.
Spring selling season as a whole was healthy, and we achieved an average monthly absorption rate of more sales per community during the second quarter, resulting in net new home orders of 871, up 26% sequentially over the first quarter of 2016. The company opened 18 new home communities during the second quarter and ended the quarter selling out of 79 communities, having made significant progress on our community count growth plans for the year.
Based on our healthy sales base for the quarter and increase community count, we ended the period with the backlog of $575.5 million, a highest dollar value since the first quarter of 2016 and up 22% over the prior year period. Units in backlog were 1,093, up 13% from the June 30, 2015. The combination of our progress through the first-half of the year combined with our healthy backlog gives us the confidence that 2016 will be another successful year growth for William Lyon Homes.
With that, I will turn the call over to Matt Zaist, to discuss our quarter results. Matt?
Matthew Zaist
Thanks, Bill. Driving the strong results, we achieved during the second quarter to round out a successful first-half of 2016, set us the foundation for us to achieve our financial and operational growth plans for the balance of the year. Bill mentioned quarters and sales base for Q2 were healthy. We experienced the sold spring selling season.
We achieved an average monthly absorption rate of four sales per community during the second quarter, increased from 3.3 per community in the first quarter, resulting in net new home orders of 871, up 3% year-over-year and 26% over the first quarter 2016.
Our California, Nevada and Colorado divisions are posted higher year-over-year absorption rates. Our Arizona, Washington and Oregon divisions continued to experience the highest rates of sales in the company, combining for an average monthly absorption rate of 5.0 sales per community for the quarter. The highlighted of the second quarter from a sales perspective was an exceptional June, with absorption rates of 4.2 orders per community, resulting in $325 net new home owners.
Heading into the third quarter, we experienced the normal seasonal trends from spring into summary with a more moderated sales pace during July and 2.8 sales per community, resulting a $225 net new homes orders for the month, compared to 217 in July of last year.
Across all of our market, we continue to see increased demand from the entry-level buyer, segment that we believe is an underserved portion of the market, and one that we have focused on last year. Entry-level buyers made up approximately 42% of our homes closed during the second quarter. This buyer segment represented 39% of our Q2 backlog as compared to approximately 32% in the year ago period. Additionally, this represented the fasted absorbing product segment for us during the second quarter and year-to-date.
Our backlog conversion rate for the quarter was 75%, which was slightly higher than our expectations. We continue to implement our modified spec start strategy, starting homes earlier given the longer year-over-year cycle time, also enabling us to sell and close more homes during any given quarter. For the second quarter, we sold and closed 20% more specs than the year ago comparable period.
Our average sales price for homes closed during the quarter was approximately $490,000, up 9% year-over-year, with the increase in ASP primarily reflecting changes in geographic and product mix. $490,000 ASP figure for the quarter was at the low end of our anticipated range, influenced by the continued strong performance of our Arizona division, which delivered more homes that we had anticipated at the from what was ASP within the company, coupled with a timing of closing within one of our southern California project. ASPs of home build backlog at the end of the second quarter was $526,500, up 8% from one year ago, 7% higher than the ASP of homes closed during the second quarter of 2016.
During the second quarter, we continue to make progress on our community count growth plans. We had average community count of 72 communities for the quarter, up 7% year-over-year and up 4% sequentially from the 69 average communities during Q1 2016. We opened 18 new communities in the second quarter, sold out of the 6, and ended the quarter with 79 active communities.
Following up on our new master-planned communities highlighted on last quarter's conference call, we successfully opened for sale, our River Terrace development to Oregon and our day source development and our Bayshores development in the Bay Area of Northern California.
Since our initial sales offerings beginning mid quarter, the master-planned developments combined for 77 net sales in Q2. As mentioned last quarter, we believe that these two developments will play a major role in the future growth of these divisions in the overall profitability of the company in the coming year.
We are encouraged by our success thus far on the sales front, and look forward to the impact these communities will have on the company in 2017 and beyond, as we realize the benefits of full-year run rates of both sales and closings.
For a discussion on our financial results, I'll turn the call over to Colin.
Colin Severn
Thank you, Matt. Total consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $325.7 million and home building revenue was $325.1 million as compared to $247.7 million in a year ago period, an increase of 31%. The increase in home sales revenue was primarily due to a 20% increase in the number of homes delivered combined with the 9% increase in ASP as discussed earlier.
Our home building gross margin percentage on a GAAP basis for the second quarter was 17.4%, compared to 17.7% in the first quarter and 19.2% in the year ago period. The modest sequential decline in gross margin was driven primarily by the actual mix of closings between divisions.
Our Adjusted home building gross margin percentage, which excludes interest and net purchase accounting adjustments included in cost of sales was 24% during the second quarter as compared to 26% in the year ago period, and 24.7% in the first quarter.
Turning to SG&A expense for the quarter, our sales and marketing expenses was 5.6% of homebuilding revenue, compared to 6% in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was primarily driven by higher homebuilding revenue and leverage on our advertising costs, offset by slightly higher outside broker commissions.
We improved our G&A percentage by approximately 30 basis points to 5.1%, down from 5.4% in last year's second quarter, as we continue to benefit from positive operating leverage resulting from our larger operating platform. These combined for a total SG&A expense of 10.7% for the quarter, compared to 11.4% in the second quarter of 2015, an improvement of 70 basis points. Year-to-date, we've achieved SG&A improvement of 100 basis points year-over-year from 12.5% in the first-half of 2015, compared to 11.5% in the first-half of 2016.
Income from our unconsolidated mortgage joint venture has more than doubled during the quarter to $1.2 million from 500,000 in the previous year, due to operations being fully deployed and meaningful capture rates in all our markets. Our provision for income taxes was approximately $7.5 million during the quarter, or an effective tax rate of approximately 33.3%.
We continue to believe that our effective tax rate for the full-year will be approximately 34% to 35%. Pre-tax income for the quarter was $22.6 million and net income available to common stockholders was $14.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share based on 38.4 million fully diluted shares.
Our adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $48.5 million, up 25% from the year-ago period. Land acquisition spending for the second quarter was approximately $70.6 million, and horizontal land spend was approximately $39.6 million. or a total of $110.2 million.
Now turning to our balance sheet. We ended the quarter with $1.8 billion in real estate inventories, $2.1 million in total assets, total equity of $727 million and cash of $40 million.
As of the end of the second quarter, our outstanding borrowings under our revolver were $59 million, down from $65 million as of year-end 2015. In addition, and as we previously announced, on July 1, we amended our revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the maximum borrowing capacity of $130 million to $145 million and retained the accordion feature for up to the maximum amount of $200 million. The amendment also extended the maturity of the facility into 2019, which was previously scheduled for August 2017.
Total liquidity as of June 30, after giving effect for amended revolving credit facility was approximately $118 million. As of June 30, 2016, our total debt to book capitalization was 61.6%, down from 62.2% at December 31, 2015, and our net debt to net book capitalization was 60.8%, down from 61.1% at December 31, 2015. We continue to be focused on reducing our leverage and improving our balance sheet in 2016, making progress towards our longer-term goals.
Now, I'll turn it back to Matt.
Matthew Zaist
Thanks, Colin. We are proud of our performance in the first-half of the year in efforts of our entire team. Before turning it over to the group for questions, I'd like to spend a bit of time going into our expectations for the balance of this year and heading into next year.
As mentioned, driven by our healthy sales base, we ended the second quarter of 2016 backlog of 1,093 units, and an associated value of $575.5 million. For the third quarter, we're currently expecting a backlog conversion rate in the range of 60% to 64%.
In terms of ASPs, as we've previously discussed, we anticipate that our ASP for any given quarter will be heavily influenced by geographic and product mix. In the third quarter, we expect ASPs for homes closed in the quarter to be in the range of $495,000 to $505,000.
In addition, we currently anticipate a somewhat higher amount of minority interest allocation in the back-half of the year compared to the first six months, based on anticipated increase in closings from our homebuilding joint ventures.
Looking ahead to the anticipated gross margins for the third quarter, we are currently forecasting the near-term margin compression of approximately of 50 to 80 basis points in Q3 from our GAAP gross margins in Q2. This expectation is stemming from an anticipated budgetary charge of approximately $3.5 million, $4 million certain previously unknown costs affecting two sold out communities in the Bay Area.
The most significant portion of which is associated with replacing infrastructure installed prior to our ownership of these properties further and amplified by the challenging labor market in the Bay Area. Excluding these unforeseen cost issues, we would have been expecting to be sequential improvement in our GAAP gross margins from Q2 to Q3.
We anticipate that the bulk of the impact from these costs will be felt in the third quarter and we expect to see GAAP margins trajectory improved into the end of the year. As it relates to the full-year, we currently expect 2016 results to include deliveries of 2,700 to 2,850 units home sales revenue of $1.350 billion to $1.475 billion, and pre-tax net income before minority interest of $105 million to $120 million.
We anticipate community count for the balance of this year to range on a month-by-month basis between 78 and 82 new home communities. Our operating teams are focused on opening approximately 28 new home communities over the next 12 months. Factoring in anticipated closeouts, we expect community count growth that would represent new homes communities by midyear 2017 in the high 80s to low 90s range.
We remain focused on continuing our growing exposures to the entry-level buyer. This component of our business will be almost exclusively spec-driven, which will be balanced for the major order approach on our move-up homes. This balanced approach coupled with full-year run rates in some of our starting new home community openings should give us a great opportunity to meet our 2017 objectives of meaningful top line growth, coupled with increasing our operating margins year-over-year to drive increased profitability, while meeting our goal continue deleveraging of our balance sheet.
With that, I'd like to conclude the prepared remarks portion of our call and open it up for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from the line of Alan Ratner with Zelman & Associates. Your line is now open.
Alan Ratner
Hey, guys, good afternoon. Congrats on a good quarter and thanks for all of that great detailed guidance, Matt, it's very helpful.
Matthew Zaist
Thank you, Alan.
Alan Ratner
First question on the Bayshores and River Terrace, it sounds like things are up to a good start there, you mentioned the 77 sales. I'm just curious now that you have the sales in the bank,. I'm not sure if you have any deliveries actually. But are you able to give us any indication of how the margins are looking on that project, given when you underwrote deals several years ago?
Matthew Zaist
Yes, Alan, we certainly don't have any closings that we've booked. We have book sales. We really kind of open to sales in both of those communities kind of concurrent with starting production. But based on revenues that we're seeing in those projects, I would simply comment that they're both as you would expect considerably higher than company average. And as we get closer to delivery of those units, we'll give you more color. But, yes, I think we're excited about the prospects of both of those communities as well as some future openings in the back-half of this year and next year.
Alan Ratner
Perfect. I appreciate that. And then, just your comments on the entry-level, you're up – you're right around 40% of your business today. You mentioned you're looking to ramp that over the next few years and it's going to be exclusively spec-driven. So is that any different from your business model today catering to entry-level buyers? And if so how do you see that playing out as just more townhome product, which is why that's going to be more spec, or is that something that you're seeing on the ground from consumers that they especially desire?
Matthew Zaist
Good question. I think there's a couple of points, I would make on it. I think when you talk about the California markets, in particular, but also as we look to, excuse me, Colorado, Nevada, we're looking to introduce townhome products in both of those markets next year to drive product at price points significantly below new home medians. Even in markets, such as, Phoenix, which has historically been a pick your lot, pick your product or plan-type market, we've really seen that entry-level buyer and, in particular, the first-time buyer within that segment looking for a shorter escrow period.
So we've seen our spec deliveries in Phoenix as an example increase almost 200% year-over-year. So we really do think that that's the right strategy for that buyer. They're looking for more limited options, selection process and they candidly a shorter escrow period overall.
Alan Ratner
And just kind of add on to that real quickly, then we've heard from some other builders that it's been challenging to keep a supply of spec on the ground, just given some of the labor shortages in markets, and Phoenix is one that's usually mentioned. So how have you found your ability to actually keep your production pace ahead of your sales pace to make sure that you don't run low on specs, given this strong demand?
Matthew Zaist
Yes, and certainly I think we would certainly concur that that's a market that we've seen as labor pressures on both the cost side as well as on a cycle time side. This really kind of goes back almost a year ago when you think about kind of the dynamics that we all saw in the third quarter that created some volatility and closings.
We really made the decisions to start more houses earlier and really be focused on month by month basis on starts within each of our communities, especially that have entry-level exposure to make sure that we've got product available, it's not always going to be even though I don't particularly care for that that terminology given that there are seasonal trends, but we do want to keep product on the ground at any given point of time.
Alan Ratner
Great, thanks a lot and good luck.
Matthew Zaist
Okay, thanks Alan.
Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Will Randow with Citigroup. Your line is now open.
Will Randow
Hey, good morning guys and congrats on a progress.
Matthew Zaist
Thanks Will.
Will Randow
In terms of the sales pace, you mentioned in July, it was a little bit north of where you were at July 2015, I think you were at 3.0. What type of sales pace do you feel comfortable with for the quarter? I imagine it's closer to probably 3 flat. But love to get your thoughts on that considering, as Alan mentioned, the Bayshores and River Terrace openings?
Matthew Zaist
Yes, look I think those are certainly two communities, Will, that we could drive some volume out of – I think we want to make sure we sync it up with where our kind of expectations are for deliveries and balance out, not get too far out – ahead of ourselves. But as we look at last year from an absorption standpoint, we really saw July and August of last year being fairly consistent in that three-month range with September backing off of it more really hard to kind of peg exactly where we would see orders.
So I want to be careful I think we would just kind of point people go back to some of the seasonal trends that we saw last year relatively to absorption rates that that's the hardest to predict. I think it's a little easier to kind of give you the sense of where we see community count going for the balance of the year, which we did. So that's probably just the safest thing for us to kind of point you to at this point.
Will Randow
Okay. And then just one unrelated follow-up, on gross margins unadjusted, I think if I heard you right kind of the midpoint of what you're thinking for the third quarter is about 16.7. And excluding the roughly $4 million of unplanned costs, that means your run rate is about 17.5, roughly speaking. Is that kind of what we should expect going forward or should we anticipate capitalized interest to come down as we look through the next 10 month or sorry 12 months or so?
Matthew Zaist
Well I we feel good don't want necessarily guide that far I have to start historically been our practice, but I'll turn over to Colin for just some incremental color.
Colin Severn
Sure, thanks Will. Mix is always playing a pretty big factor in our outcome and we seen great volume pickup in Phoenix with our heavy mix of entry-level product. So that's a pretty commoditized market that's seen significant increases and labor with the minimal pricing power and we're definitely making more money there than we did a year ago, but margins are a bit lower in some of other divisions.
California, particularly SoCal going to vary based on timing of closings within our master-planned communities, which inherently have more margins, but on great terms that make it a very efficient use of capital for us and in the best master-planned in the country.
And then the other variable for us has been in Washington. It remains a great market. Got a solid pipeline, got appreciation, but right now we're just seeing contribution declined from that division, related to more of timing from new communities coming online.
Our goal has always been to give you guys short-term outlook, directional guidance and we layout – we think it's pretty good guidelines for the year for 2016. And from that standpoint it's hard to give you specific number for Q4, but directionally we would see some lift from the Q3 number that you just mentioned into Q4.
Will Randow
Got it. Thanks again guys and congrats once again.
Matthew Zaist
Thanks Will.
Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Michael Rehaut with JPMorgan. Your line is now open.
Neal BasuMullick
Hey, it's Neal on for Mike. So I guess going back to the master-planned community you opened this quarter and then the second upcoming, are you expecting kind of a substantially wider spread to your average gross margin? And then I guess how much could that contribute to this year and into 2017?
Matthew Zaist
Well, I think relative to this year, I think it's – we're cautious. As we mentioned, we opened these communities. We had great demand partly also wanted to get a good sense of where we thought price was and could go just for folks reference, Bayshores has got north of 500 homes in it and River Terrace ultimately have build out north of 2,000.
So now we've got some data points on sales we'd likely get further along in the construction process and be able to guide whether we think those are going to start to make an impact, at the end of this year whether or not, it's really discussion for 2017 and beyond.
I think, given the overall size and scale of those communities, we thought it was important highlight as I mentioned, we've got number of communities approximately 28 additional to open up over the next 12 months that also will impact kind of our future overall margin mix.
So again I think we try to paint picture for you guys and give you some bookings for this year. I understand everybody is trying to model for next year. I think obviously with community count growing. We would expect to see again some real growth from 2016 into 2017 just again we've shied away from trying to give long-term specific gross margin guidance.
We do believe that operating margins will improve year-over-year and that really it's made up of two components. So we think are equally important to discuss and it's – there's the gross margin aspect of it. It is also making sure that you're efficient in your overall cost structure and leverage of sales marketing and G&A side of your business. So that's really I think we're comfortable with relative to our guidance discipline.
Neal BasuMullick
Okay. Okay, that's really helpful. And then I guess going back to the pricing power, you commented on, I mean you definitely outperformed historically in terms of having pricing power offset labor costs. But I guess regionally where are you able to raise versus maybe lowering elsewhere?
Matthew Zaist
Well, I don't think there's any specific we would comment on relative to lowering per se and I think as we mentioned, Phoenix for us has been really a market that we've gotten great year-over-year increases in volume from both on a closing side and continue to think we've got the ability to drive good sales rates in that market. But it is definitely a market that is limited on the ability to push revenue. I would say year-to-date the three markets that probably had the most pricing power I would say probably the Bay Area in Portland and shortly thereafter followed by Seattle.
Neal BasuMullick
Okay. Thanks that's all for me.
Matthew Zaist
Okay. Thanks.
Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Mike Dahl with Credit Suisse. Your line is now open.
Michael Dahl
Hi, thanks for taking my questions.
Matthew Zaist
Hi, Mike.
Michael Dahl
I think so in response to one of the prior questions, you mentioned the declining contribution from Washington, Seattle. Just curious, some of the weaker sales over the past couple of quarters clearly it seems to be just some normalization of pace versus what was extremely strong 2015? And as you look forward, how should we – with respect to Washington specifically, how should we be thinking about the ramp in community count, and it's kind of an ongoing pace there. Is this about where you'd expect it to be based on your current mix of product there?
Matthew Zaist
Yes, look, I think you hit on a good point. I mean, if you talk about Washington a year ago, Q2 the absorption rates were running at almost eight a month. I think, based on average community count for the quarter candidly as well as if you look at year-to-date for Washington, that's pretty consistent at 4.8, so still very healthy market.
Relative to the client in overall contribution, as I said, we've got a great lot supply there. We've got candidly a large number of communities that we're planning on opening, the balance of this year and into next year in that particular division, as good of a market as it is, and we think we've got a great operations team up there.
The municipality environment in Seattle is similar in a lot of ways to California, getting final approval on all of your plots and maps as well as improvement plans is just taking longer than it has historically. But I think if you use kind of our year-to-date run rate in Washington, at least, for modeling standpoint next year, I feel more comfortable kind of with the rate of sales that we've seen this year as opposed to what we saw last year, which was candidly just smoking last year.
Michael Dahl
Okay, thanks for that. And then my second question is going back to the margin discussion, I think, if we look at some of the puts and takes around there and where you're not talking about for the back-half of the year, and I'm excluding the $3.5 million to $4 million, just with the purchase accounting roll-off, it seemed like the prior expectation, or at least, our prior expectation was for a bit better of a ramp there.
And so I'm just – I'd just like to hear a little more about whether the differences, or A, is this consistent with your internal expectations, let's call it, three or six months ago; or B, to the extent that it has changed, how much of it is just a difference in something like spec mix than you would have previously thought, or really just the regional mix than you would have previously thought versus continued pressures and labor costs or any other pressures you might be seeing?
Matthew Zaist
Mike, that's a mouthful, man. I think, look, I think relative to how we were looking excluding the one-time issue that we've got to kind of deal with here, we were expecting to see what would have been roughly a 30 to 50 basis points of expansion, which candidly was with any kind of our expectation, right. I think we certainly have got mixes that Colin, kind of I think roughly commented on in terms of some of those puts and takes.
But look, I think it's – it was kind of following what we were expecting to see throughout the year. Look, I think, the hardest thing is, when you've got, what I would call candidly some wide vintage of lots and land, the actual turn does move things around, which is why I think it's really difficult to give long-term guidance on those types of thing. So I think we've kind of said what I think we can and are comfortable with at this point in time.
Michael Dahl
All right, fair enough. I'll take a breath. Thanks.
Matthew Zaist
All right. Thanks.
Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Susan Berliner with JPMorgan. Your line is now open.
Susan Berliner
Hi, good afternoon.
Matthew Zaist
Hi, Susan.
Susan Berliner
So I guess, I wanted to start more big picture. And I know a lot of your peers have been talking about rising labor costs, and I know you guys touched on it a little bit. I was wondering if you could kind of go around your markets and kind of, I guess, also talk about, give a little bit more color on what you're seeing in your markets on labor costs, and then just the environment? And also talk about the high-end buyer, because we've certainly heard that the high-end buyer is slowing down a bit?
Matthew Zaist
Well, I think in terms of labor, as we've discussed in the past, I don't think it's meaningfully change. The most challenging labor market in our company has been the Bay Area. I think and that's been on both a cost basis as well as labor and cycle time related market, it's also been a good one from a revenue perspective.
Colorado, I would say, I think labor has somewhat stabilized. I think we're seeing cycle times that year-over-year are pretty consistent. So I think we've been able to, I think, plan pretty well around that. Phoenix definitely seeing labor pressure on the cost side.
Our other markets from a homebuilding labor standpoint have been pretty decent, I would say, in the Pacific Northwest, the horizontal traits are definitely getting taxed a bit. I think we're seeing the cost pressure in those markets. It's been more on the horizontal side than the vertical side, and we've obviously got a lot of lots under construction.
I think relative to second part of your question and if you need to follow up sue on anything I just said that's fine. But relative to the high-end buyer, look, I think, we see – we've seen that buyer make sales over the course of the first-half of the year. And all of our high-end projects, the rates to sales there have been, I would say, somewhat within the range of our expectation. We did open a new higher-end project in Irvine, at the end of the second quarter, which has performed very well on the Irvine Ranch.
Our higher-end projects in South County have been making sales. But it's definitely been a slower pace, especially when you compare it to kind of the overall company average.
Susan Berliner
Great. And then I wanted to turn to, I guess, some land spend and then the balance sheet. Land spend seemed like it picked up a lot this quarter versus what you've been doing. Are you guys still targeting, I guess, to your land spend in total to be down a little bit from last year?
Colin Severn
Hey, Susan, it's Colin. Yes, we're just – the timing of this quarter was just kind of the way things shook out with each contract, but still in that $275 million to $280 million range for the year. And then from a horizontal standpoint just in case you need it about $85 to $95 million for full-year.
Matthew Zaist
That's a subset of.
Colin Severn
That's a subset of, right
Susan Berliner
And, Colin, I guess, the land notes payable on the balance sheet this quarter, I'm assuming that was obviously associated with some land. Any details on that?
Matthew Zaist
Yes. So it's Matt. That's – that was a seller financing provided by one of the master plan developers here in Orange County. So the terms of the deal is, we put down a percentage down. They take back a non-pay seller note that amortizes through the closings of units. So we would expect to see that start to amortize starting in the fourth quarter of this year and amortize through the first-half of next year.
Susan Berliner
Okay, great. Thank you very much.
Matthew Zaist
You bet, Susan.
Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Alex Barron with Housing Research Center. Your line is now open.
Alex Barron
Hey, guys, good morning and good job.
Matthew Zaist
Thanks, Alex.
Alex Barron
I wanted to ask about the order number that you gave for July. If I calculated correctly, it's up 4% versus last year. I guess, I'm curious about, given the opening of these master plans, are you guys kind of holding back sales, because maybe you saw too much demand at the open, or is it – or do you think that's indicative of what the whole – the rest of the quarter is going to look like?
Matthew Zaist
Well, I would say this. I think, we did sell through some of our initial releases at those two master plans what we've talked about, and we'll have periodic releases throughout the balance of this year. If you really look at July, though I would say, it really was a month kind of two halves. The first two weeks of July were really pretty slow, I think two things that was extremely hot out in the West, as well as 4th of July holiday. If I look at July, I think something like 60% July sales came in the last two weeks, the last two weeks of July were both consistently very good.
So again, I think it's hard to give a full read for a quarter. I think, we try to provide you guys with monthly data just you could kind of compare absorption rates year-over-year and model as best you guys see fit.
But we were, I think, not surprised that the first-half was a little slow. July, I think we thought that the last two weeks were very solid. Last year, we did see a tick-up in terms of overall sales activity, especially on a weekly basis in August compared to July, but then it did back off a little bit in September. So that's kind of why we've got that information out there for you guys to model.
Alex Barron
Okay, thanks. And then as it pertains to gross margins, so it sounds like, excluding the – this infrastructure charge, your margin would have been sequentially flat to higher, correct?
Colin Severn
Alex Barron
Okay. And then as it pertains to these master plans that you guys just opened in Oregon and then Northern California, I think, if I heard you correct, the last quarter your cost bases on the Northern California was pretty low. So, I would assume your margins there would be higher than average. Is that also the case in Oregon or not necessarily?
Matthew Zaist
Yes, look, I think the – they're both above the company average, I think the Northern California gross margin profile is probably a little bit better. That said, we've got a much longer runway on the Oregon piece. I think, challenge with Northern California, as we documented before, that's probably the tightest labor market with the longest cycle times, Alex. So while we open that up back-half of June, we are just starting units. So I don't want to give any sort of expectation on exact timing of those deliveries relative to year-end versus Q1 of next year.
Alex Barron
Okay. And can you tell me again the size of these two communities, like how many total lots you guys have in each?
Matthew Zaist
Yes, I know that we gave that specific way last quarter. We've got Bayshores north of 500, Alex and River Terrace at full buildout is going to be quite around or slightly above 2,000 units. We've got those numbers and I can follow-up with you specifically.
Alex Barron
Okay, perfect. Thanks a lot and good luck.
Matthew Zaist
All right. Thanks, Alex. I appreciate it.
Thank you. And I'm showing no further questions. Thank you. I would now like to turn the call back over to Matt Zaist for closing remarks.
Matthew Zaist
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us on our call today. We look forward to talking with you in the near future. Thank you.

Phenom 100 Synthetic Vision Technology is certified
Embraer's Phenom 100 entry level executive jet has received the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil - ANAC), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certificates to use Garmin's Synthetic Vision Technology(tm) (SVT).
This feature recreates a visual topographic landscape from system's terrain-alerting database through a sophisticated graphics modeling, simulating what the pilot would see with the naked eye in broad daylight. It is particularly helpful in fog, rain, haze, darkness or heavy instrument flight conditions. The resulting virtual reality display offers pilots a supplemental 3-D depiction of ground, water, obstacles, airports, and traffic.
"This safety-enhancing feature allows pilots to benefit from a far easier situational orientation, reinforcing Embraer's commitment to providing a unique flight deck solution to the Phenom jets," said Mauricio Almeida, Embraer Vice President, Programs - Executive Jets.
The system counts on color-coded landscape, clearly showing with amber or red overlays those areas where potential flight-into-terrain risks exist. Towers or other obstacles that may interfere with the flight path are also color-highlighted and displayed with the appropriate symbology. SVT works with Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Traffic Information Service (TIS) traffic technologies to depict targets in 3-D perspective, allowing real time assessment on how close and how high they are. Using familiar TCAS symbology that grows larger as it gets nearer, SVT makes traffic conflicts easier to see and identify.
Also available for retrofitting at a minimum downtime, SVT is a key feature of the Prodigy(tm) flight deck. Based on Garmin's fully integrated avionics suite, Prodigy(tm) was exclusively developed for the Phenom jets and incorporates Embraer's extensive experience in developing cockpits for commercial and defense aircraft. Human factors, enhanced situational awareness, glass cockpit with large displays, state-of-the-art avionics and single pilot operation are the design drivers behind every detail of this flight deck.
Coming next is the SVT approval for the Phenom 300, which will be the first light jet to offer this technology. Currently under way, the certification process is advancing as planned towards an entry into service in the coming months.

Rude darts placards cause Sky problems
Friday, January 2 2009, 16:36 GMT
Fans holding rude messages on placards at the World Darts Championship have caused problems for Sky.
Audience members at the Alexandra Palace have used blank cards from event sponsor Ladbrokes to pen messages for cameras.
HD viewers have been able to pick up the supporters' messages, which have included comments about Sky Sports presenter Helen Chamberlain's relationship with young darts star James Wade.
"This is the first year the darts has been filmed in HD so bosses are really paranoid about what's on these cards," an insider told The Sun.
"So if someone's holding up an offensive card then it could potentially be broadcast to millions.
"Most people are just offering their support to their favourite player or they write the old favourite 'Hi Mum'. But some have crossed the line and they have had to be spoken to."

Mallet Carving Tools
Mallet Carving Tools
Mallet carving tools feature a longer handle and longer steel leading up to the gouge. These mallet gouges and chisels are great for clearing backgrounds and working fast with or without a mallet. The longer handles give you more leverage and the ability for more control.
All mallet tools are made to use by hand or to lightly strike with a mallet. The process allows for carving details or taking out large areas of wood, like in a relief carving or while carving bigger items like carousel horses. Basic mallet carving tools are a great addition to anyone's shop for the larger tasks that usually take tons of time and effort. Cut your time down and make life easy with a mallet chisel or mallet gouge.

The University of Toledo College of Business and Innovation (COBI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt to offer a joint Master's in Business Administration (MBA) degree in Cairo.
The program will enable Egyptian students to obtain an MBA from UT without leaving Egypt. Consisting of 11 courses over 15 months, all of the classes will be conducted at the American Chamber's Career Development Center in Cairo, Egypt.
"This cooperation will benefit both the Egyptian and American people by creating jobs, fostering innovation, and sending a message of confidence to the world that Egypt is a world-class destination for tourism and foreign investment," said U.S. Ambassador Anne W. Patterson. "Moving forward, we are eager to work with the Egyptian government and the Egyptian people on more projects of mutual benefit to our two countries."
"The UT College of Business and Innovation and the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt recognize that both business and academia need to effectively function in a true global community," noted UT COBI Dean Thomas Gutteridge, who participated in the December 11 signing of the memorandum. "COBI seriously pursues its mission of developing lifelong, ethical business leaders of tomorrow, and this agreement further demonstrates how we strive to be the preferred learning partner for students and the business community worldwide."
"Egyptian students are very anxious to improve their education, and this partnership is a major step, especially because COBI is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business international," he added. "This will mean excellent preparation for better jobs, providing them a competitive advantage in a global marketplace."
COBI currently provides an MBA program on-site in Cairo through an agreement signed in 2010 between The University of Toledo and the Sadat Academy for Management Sciences (SAMS). SAMS students are also obtaining bachelor's degrees as a result of a 2009 agreement through which they undertake their first two years of study at SAMS, and then complete their coursework either at UT COBI, or through distance learning and classes taught by COBI faculty in Cairo. However, these agreements will be discontinued after the initial cohorts graduate.
COBI also offers MBA programs through agreements with Zhejiang University of Finance & Economics, China ; Humanitarian Academy in Kharkov, the Ukraine; and PSG Institutions, Coimbatore, India.

4 New Muzzleloaders Reviewed and Ranked
4 muzzleloaders to choose from.
Check it out:
The newest modern muzzleloaders are better than ever. But which one is right for you? We test four brand-new models to help you choose wisely.
For 2013, in-line muzzleloader makers have introduced the first modern hammerless break-action designs and totally reinvented the breech plug, for starters. Below is the year's new crop of front-stuffers, and after days of testing each for quality, design, accuracy, and overall performance, I recommend that you get in line to check one out.
First I measured and weighed the guns to confirm factory specifications. Then I handled and inspected each to gauge balance, feel, and quality of construction. I dry-fired each extensively to test the quality of the trigger pull and used a Lyman Digital Trigger Pull Gauge (cabelas.com) to test the weight, taking an average of 10 pulls. After scoping each, I shot the heck out of them, using several different loads to test out-of-the-box accuracy, recoil, and handling characteristics.

Pep Guardiola claims there would be no point staying at Manchester City if he did not think he could improve his players anymore.
City have stormed to the top of the Premier League with an unbeaten and goal-laden start to the campaign, while Tuesday's 2-1 win over Napoli made it three out of three in the Champions League.
Guardiola labelled last weekend's 7-2 demolition of Stoke City as the best performance of his tenure and praised his players as "perfect" after beating Serie A frontrunners Napoli.
Nevertheless, speaking at a news conference ahead of City's home match against Burnley on Saturday, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss made no bones over expecting more from his in-form squad.
"I said many times over the last weeks, we played good in the last games but always we can improve," Guardiola said.
"That is the reason why we are here – if we believe that it's done it makes no sense to keep going, to stay.
"Always we can do better. Hopefully we can maintain that level in the next games."
See you tomorrow! #FridayFeeling pic.twitter.com/S5fTnfT2DI
— Manchester City (@ManCity) October 20, 2017
Having struggled on the road last season, Burnley started this term by beating champions Chelsea, while they also took a share of the spoils at Liverpool and Tottenham before edging Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park.
"What they do, they do really well. They are masters at attacking the channels, the second balls and set-pieces. They always defend with a lot of people in the box," Guardiola said.
"It is so complicated to attack them because they are physically strong. We have to try to be dynamic, play quick and take an advantage because when they score goals, after they defend really well and it is so complicated to score goals.
"Their results away are fantastic."
Guardiola refused to confirm whether wholesale changes were on the agenda in the midst of a busy period for City.
Sergio Aguero is fit to start after recovering from his broken rib, although Vincent Kompany remains on the sidelines with a calf injury and his manager was unable to give any prognosis on a potential return date.
Another player on the sidelines is Benjamin Mendy, who is recuperating from cruciate knee ligament surgery, although the France left-back has remained a buoyant presence on social media – much to Guardiola's amusement.
Bionic legs coming soon pic.twitter.com/qx1Sh3qnaD
— Benjamin Mendy (@benmendy23) October 18, 2017
"Usually long-term injured players they are sad and train apart so they feel isolated," he said.
"But in the case of Mendy he decides to be present through social media. He calls his team-mates, he sends WhatsApp messages – even to me – he stays in touch.
"He is going to continue being important outside the pitch. People like him make the atmosphere in the dressing room much better."
Asked about Mendy nicknaming City the "Shark Team", a label that has prompted the appearance of shark inflatables and associated fancy dress at recent matches, Guardiola added: "I really don't know. You must ask Mendy when he's around.
"We just have to play well and win and the rest I really don't know."
