Summer in Ireland this year fell on Friday 10th August, and what a beautiful summer it was. As luck would have it, some wise soul in Cork decided to organize a Flash Mob in Grand Parade so we could 'dance into the weekend' in style!
Normally flash mobs gather quickly, do something wacky, then quickly disperse. This one was different…and better! It lasted nearly an hour and everyone just danced their socks off, basking in the sunshine, and moving up and down and around the street to the beat, with not a car in the world! Here are a few pics I took before joining in the fun myself!
Happy Weekend Everyone!

The fact that Alex Smith has not already been signed to an extension can only mean that the Chiefs are keeping their options open heading into the draft. The Chiefs brought in Tyler Bray (arguably the QB with the most upside from the 2013 draft class) as an UDFA who has already shown some nice promise. The 2014 draft looks loaded with QB talent. If there is a QB the Chiefs think could be their franchise future there at #23, don't be shocked to see them pull the trigger. They replaced the second most important position on the team last season with their first pick... why wouldn't they do the same thing with their first pick this season?
The whole decision of whether or not to draft a QB will come down to what they truly think of Tyler Bray... NOT Alex Smith. I think Smith has priced himself out of KC. Even though the Chiefs are coming off a playoff season, it feels a lot more like the playoff season Edwards led Vermeil's Chiefs to rather than a sign of things to come. The Chiefs have maxed out their cap space and have gotten worse in doing so. This team will be facing some tough decisions in the next few seasons that will probably see Eric Berry, Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe, and Brandon Flowers among others leave the team. If those guys leave, it won't be so they can afford a guy like Alex Smith.
Also consider that the Chiefs will be stock-piling picks for the 2015 draft. They will start with 7 and will probably get at least another 3 as compensatory picks from losing Albert, McCluster, a pair of starting OGs, and Tyson Jackson. Going with a 2nd or 3rd year QB in the form of this year's QB taken in the draft or Bray from last year will allow the Chiefs to get ANOTHER compensatory pick in 2016 by letting Smith walk. Smith won't be the only high-profile player to leave, either. I would expect some big names to either get traded this season with 2 seasons left before free agency, or next year when they still have 1 season of team control left.
You may disagree with me and not believe that this team is about to go through a major overhaul, but do you really think John Dorsey and Andy Reid are going to let their their collective futures in KC be decided by and aging roster that they didn't select? Doubtful. If the front office thinks they can get/or have their QBOTF in this draft or the last, they won't sign Alex Smith long term. In fact, I don't see a single scenario that has the Chiefs committing long-term money (especially $15m/yr) to Alex Smith. Andy Reid and John Dorsey want a guy they can develop over an extended period of time. (see Aaron Rodgers)
I see a 3 year plan of something like the following:
Trade Eric Berry for draft picks in 2015/16
Let Alex Smith walk for picks
Trade Hali for picks in '16
Let Charles walk after '16
Trade DJ for picks in '16
Cut/trade Sean Smith after '14
Sign Justin Houston long-term
Sign Dontari Poe long-term
Sign Bray (or '14 rookie) long-term
10+ picks in 2015
10+ picks in 2016
All this among other moves, of course... but I think you are going to see a drastically different team heading into the 2016 team than many of us want to see. I will be absolutely shocked and dismayed if Alex Smith is the starting QB for the Kansas City Chiefs heading into the 2016 season.

College basketball is pretty simple at this time of year: win and everything else will take care of itself.
EMMITSBURG, Md. — College basketball is pretty simple at this time of year: win and everything else will take care of itself.
Credit the Mount St. Mary's men's basketball team for taking that to heart, and beating a Northeast Conference-leading team for the second time in a week on Thursday night at Knott Arena.
Last Thursday, the Mountaineers beat Bryant, 84-70 at Knott Arena.
The loss drops the Blackbirds out of first place and into third place behind Robert Morris (11-4) and Bryant (10-4).
Junior guard Rashad Whack eclipsed the 20-point mark for the second straight game, throwing down a game-high 26, as the Mountaineers continued a torrid stretch with an 83-71 victory over LIU Brooklyn.
It was the Mount's fourth straight win and sixth in the last seven.
First-year head coach Jamion Christian's team, which has bought into his Mayhem philosophy with gusto, couldn't have picked a better time to get hot. At one point in the season, the Mountaineers were 2-6 in the league. But that all changed with a 77-73 win over Quinnipiac on Jan. 31. The Mount followed that up with a 91-82 win over Sacred Heart two days later, and, after a brief interruption (a 74-65 loss at Wagner on Feb. 6), Mount St. Mary's has asserted control over its own destiny for the NEC tournament.
"I'm excited about how this team played," Christian said. "LIU is a good team. This is a good point on our journey. That team has won conference championships. We gave them unbelievable respect.
"Every win in February is a big win."
Comparing a basketball season to a journey, Christian said the team mirrors itself in games like it practices. The new coach said he likes to keep things loose and fresh in practices and encourages his players to have fun playing basketball. That temperament showed last night, especially late in the game as the Mount didn't crack under the pressure and used a barrage of 3-pointers and fast break opportunities to turn a deficit into a lead.
Oddly, Thursday's pivotal contest was a journey in itself and served as a microcosm of the season: a slow start and a strong finish.
"I felt like our team was very anxious (in the first half)," said Christian, whose team relinquished a 10-3 lead early in the game and couldn't seem to keep the Blackbirds from scoring inside the paint. "They wanted to win the game. It's about handling the emotions and executing. We know if we execute down the stretch, we're going to be successful."
And execute is what the Mountaineers did, using their uptempo defensive game plan quite effectively in the second half to force LIU Brooklyn into making bad shots, while the Mount capitalized on second chance points and made 20 of 21 free throws.
While Whack, who anchors the Mount's four-guard lineup, made his points, it was inside man Raven Barber who was the game-changer. Scoreless in the first half, Barber emerged with eight second-half points, none more exhilerating than a dunk by Barber with 6:17 to play that gave the Mount a 66-57 lead.
Barber, who also didn't have a rebound in the first half, pulled down six in the second half.
"Raven Barber was an unbelievable factor," Christian said. "We got to the under-eight minute time out and I told him, 'We really need you.' I thought he was definitely the difference."
Kristijan Krajina helped the cause with a layup after LIU Brooklyn was whistled for an offensive foul to extend the lead to double digits, 68-57. Shivaughn Wiggins converted a pair of free throws after he was fouled following a missed shot at the other end. He added two more to make it 72-58 with 5:07 remaining.
The Mount, which trailed for much of the first half and nearly halfway into the second half, brought the crowd to its feet when Kelvin Parker, who played his high school basketball at York High, swished a 3-pointer to tie the game at 53 with 11:12 left to play. Less than a minute later, Whack drained a three; and, for good measure, he made another trifecta to give the Mount a 59-53 lead.
Olasewere 3-7 3-6 9, Onyechi 0-1 0-0 0, Garner 7-15 6-9 20, Thompson 0-2 0-0 0, Brickman 4-11 2-2 11, Griggs 0-1 0-0 0, Martin 1-1 0-0 2, Joseph 0-1 0-0 0, Hucks 1-2 0-0 2, Reed 10-12 3-5 25, Murphy 1-1 0-2 2. Totals 27-54 14-24 71.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Senior Mary Clayton and junior Hanna Mar clinched the crucial doubles point before cruising in their respective singles matches to lead the 15th-ranked Duke women's tennis team past No. 37 Ole Miss, 4-1, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, hosted by Texas Tech at the McLeod Tennis Center. The Blue Devils are now a perfect 18-0 in first round matches, dating back to when the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1996.
"I'm really happy with how we came out and got off to a good start in doubles," said head coach Jamie Ashworth. "After the ACC Tournament, we knew it wasn't anything with our stroke. We just had to believe and somehow find a way. We worked really hard, and they really believe in each other. They don't want this season to come to an end, and they're going to fight and fight and compete, and we were able to do that today."
In doubles action, the tandem of junior Marianne Jodoin and sophomore Annie Mulholland traded games early with the 40th-ranked duo of Caroline Rohde-Moe and Marija Milutinovic on court two, but grabbed the edge when the Blue Devils broke serve to take a 4-3 lead. After Mulholland held serve, Duke went up another break to take a commanding 6-3 lead, but Ole Miss responded by winning consecutive games. Mulholland fended off two break points to give the duo a 7-5 lead, then closed out the match when she unleashed a ferocious cross-court forehand to take the match, 8-5.
In the top spot, Mar and Clayton opened the match by breaking serve against Erin Stephens and Iris Verboven, before trading games to hold a 6-5 lead. After Mar was unable to hold serve, the Ole Miss tandem capitalized by holding serve themselves, giving the Rebels a 7-6 lead. Despite trailing, the Duke tandem conceded only a few more points in the match as Clayton launched a number of perfectly placed serves to level the match at 7-7, before Mar showed some outstanding play at the net to help close out the match and clinch the doubles point, 9-7.
"We got up after the change over and just had that refuse to lose mentality," Clayton said. "That really pushed us forward and made us work hard. We need to keep having that mentality we did today. We came to the tournament with expectations ourselves, and it's really nice to prove to ourselves and others that we are still in this tournament."
In singles play, Ole Miss responded to losing the doubles point by jumping out to leads on four of the five singles courts. On court two, Clayton cruised in the first set, 6-2, against Julia Jones and continued her dominant play in the second set, overwhelming Jones, 6-2, 6-3. The Duke Tennis Hall of Fame Inductee and All-ACC honoree has now claimed 110 career singles victories, the 14th most in Duke program history.
After a heartbreaking loss against Virginia Tech April 25, Jodoin returned to the courts to claim her team-leading 29th singles victory of the season as she topped No. 125 Mai El Kamash, 6-3, 6-1. In the opening set, Jodoin and El Kamash traded games early to find the match level at 3-3, but the Varennes, Quebec native responded by breaking serve twice to close out the set, 6-3. With the win, Jodoin now owns an impressive 17-1 singles record in dual matches on the season.
In the top-spot, Mar fell behind 1-2 early in the match against 45th-ranked Rohde-Moe, but fought back to even it up at 4-4 in the first set. After holding serve, the two-time All-ACC selection hit a huge forehand down the line to take the set, 6-4. Mar carried that momentum into the second set, where she easily dispatched Rohde-Moe, 6-1, to clinch an emotional victory for the Blue Devils.
"Obviously with our back to the wall, we know that there is no tomorrow," Ashworth said. "We have to leave everything on the court today, and not worry about tomorrow and I thought that we did that. We played with energy, we played with emotion. Whoever we end up playing tomorrow, we need to find that same energy and emotion."
In the third position, Mulholland dropped the first set, 6-3, against Stephens, but responded in the second set by jumping out to a 3-0 lead. Mulholland held a 3-2 advantage in the second set when the match was clinched. Senior Nicole Lipp fell behind 1-4 in her match against Milutinovic on court five, but rallied by winning the next game. Despite the comeback, Milutinovic held a 6-2, 5-2 advantage when the match was decided.
The Blue Devils are slated to return to the courts Sunday at 1 p.m. CT to face the winner of the match between Texas Tech and the College of Charleston for the opportunity to earn a trip to the Round of 16.

Manchester wins title, Sand Creek 2nd at tournament
Claiming six individual titles, the Manchester Flying Dutchmen captured the championship of the 38th annual Dave Elliott Invitational Wrestling Tournament Saturday at Clinton High School.
Manchester finished with 300.5 points, topping the runner-up Sand Creek Aggies, who had 189.5. Grass Lake was third with 156.5 points, and the Clinton Redskins were fourth with 128. The Onsted Wildcats finished ninth, the Madison Trojans were 11th, Blissfield Royals were 13th and the Morenci Bulldogs were 16th. Clio, Michigan Center and Grass Lake each had two individual champions. Sand Creek and Pinckney had one each.
Clinton athletic director and wrestling coach Kevin Beazley was pleased with how smoothly the tournament ran. He also was impressed with the level of competition.
"We had a very nice turnout. I was pleased to see Sand Creek do so well, despite being a late entry," he said. "We had some real good matches."
Garrett Miller of Sand Creek claimed the title in the 215-pound weight class, picking up four pins on the day. Miller was the only Lenawee County wrestler to claim a title and has a season record of 24-3.
"I though Garrett wrestled really well today," said Sand Creek coach Marc Spicer. "He's worked hard all season and just gets better and better every week."
Teammate Nick Garza was second at 160-pounds, and Trevor McDormett was second at 152. Garza is 21-4 for the season, and McDormett is 22-4.
Onsted's Ben Pickford (18-5) was second at 135-pounds, losing to Ben Hueser of Manchester (15-3) in the final. Clinton 112-pounder Zech Johnson (15-10) and Michael Sexton (18-3) at 119 were also runners-up. Sexton lost to Clio's Mason Smith, who is undefeated this season at 21-0. Johnson lost to Manchester's Charlie Steffens, who is 20-2.
Spicer was not completely satisfied with his team's performance, despite its second-place finish to a perennially strong Manchester squad.
"We've still got a lot of work to do. It's tough coming to tournaments like this against teams like Manchester," he said. "We've got some tough meets coming up, and we'll continue to work hard."
Beazley said his young team competed well against tough competition.
"We did all right, despite being very green," he said. "We've got some young freshmen who are still getting their feet wet. If they keep working hard, we will be OK."
Onsted 119-pounder Mike Lobbestael earned his 100th career win on his way to a third-place finish.
Blissfield coach Andy Ford said the Royals were hampered by some injures, but he was pleased with the overall team performance. He singled out two of his upper-weight wrestlers for their performances.
"Dylan Thompson (third at 285-pounds) and (Thomas) Jackson (fifth at 189-pounds) did well today," Ford said. "This is Thomas' third year, and he is just getting better."
Grass Lake's Chad Decker (140) and Clio's Casey Shriner (160) were named Most Valuable Wrestlers. In winning his championship match over Garza, Shriner picked up his 150th career victory.

An Edmond pool contractor draws a 10-year prison term on top of another 8-year term he had already received for a similar charge.
An Edmond swimming pool contractor has pleaded guilty in Oklahoma County District Court to charges of embezzlement and home repair fraud, Attorney General Scott Pruitt said.
As a result of a plea agreement with the Attorney General's Public Protection Unit and the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office, Gary Robert Oester, 55, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, a sentence that will be added to an 8-year sentence that he is serving after pleading guilty to similar charges in Logan County in July.
According to the charges, Oester, who operated under the trade name Indigo Custom Pools, signed contracts to install or repair swimming pools for homeowners in Oklahoma, Canadian and Cleveland counties between March and June of 2011. He accepted significant up-front payments, but failed to complete the work. Collectively, the victims are alleged to have lost more than $80,000.
The AG's Public Protection Unit protects consumers from fraudulent, unfair or deceptive business practices and can provide conciliation services to help resolve complaints against businesses.

We've covered players from the National League East and NL Central that you would be wise to avoid on draft day. Now it's time to turn our attention to the NL West.
For more analysis on these players and over 1,000 more, do yourself a favor and purchase the 2013 Rotoworld Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide.
Hunter Pence, OF, Giants
Pence was the Giants' emotional leader during their run to the World Series title last year, firing the team up with his pre-game rants and bulging eyeballs. But while he might have helped to inspire the club off the field, it masked what he didn't do on it, as he batted just .219/.287/.384 with seven homers over 59 regular season games for San Fran before stumbling to a .210/.231/.290 line during the playoffs. Pence's late-season fade is particularly concerning because it's the first time in his career that he played his home games at a pitcher-friendly park (he batted just .220/.296/.349 over 126 plate appearances at AT&T Park). You should also note that after stealing a career-high 18 bases in 2010, he's swiped just 13 bags over the last two seasons, including a career-low five in 2012. Pence should still be reasonably productive, but he'll likely get overdrafted this spring.
Carlos Quentin, OF, Padres
The Padres acquired Quentin last winter in hopes that he would provide some much-needed sock to the middle of their lineup. But while he did slug .504 for them, he did so over only 86 contests in a season plagued by knee problems. Quentin missed the first two months of the 2012 campaign following surgery on his right knee, and he wound up having a cleanup procedure on the knee over the winter. The 30-year-old lost some weight over the offseason in hopes of avoiding the injury bug in 2013, but it's hard to be optimistic that it will happen. Even if he does manage to stay healthy, let's not forget where Quentin will be playing his home games.
Brandon League, RP, Dodgers
There's no doubt that League was terrific down the stretch for the Dodgers in 2012, as he allowed just one earned run over his final 21 appearances while converting all six of his save chances. It was that dominating stretch that no doubt convinced the Dodgers not only to re-sign League, but to give him $22.5 million and name him their closer for 2013. However, remember that this is the same guy that lost his closer gig earlier in the season with the Mariners. We like League's ability to induce ground balls, but he doesn't miss many bats and will have dominating setup man Kenley Jansen breathing down his neck. The free-spending Dodgers don't figure to have much patience, so a change in the ninth inning could occur quickly.
Brandon McCarthy, SP, Diamondbacks
Everyone's favorite Twitter personality, McCarthy resurrected his career during his two seasons in Oakland, posting a 3.29 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. He can credit his success to ditching his four-seamer and going to a sinker and cutter-heavy approach, something that's resulted in much better control and fewer flyballs. But, unfortunately, McCarthy has yet to ditch his health concerns. Shoulder issues have limited him to 43 starts over the last two seasons, and his 2012 campaign ended when a line drive off his head necessitated emergency brain surgery. The latter isn't expected to be an issue going forward, but it would be a surprise if McCarthy doesn't make at least one shoulder-related trip to the DL in 2013. And while he is inducing more grounders now, his GB/FB rate the last two years has been around league average. Moving from O.co Coliseum to Chase Field will surely result in a jump in his home run total.
Marco Scutaro, 2B/SS, Giants
Last year's postseason hero, Scutaro took home NLCS MVP honors for the Giants and batted .328/.377/.391 overall during the team's magical postseason run. It was simply a carryover from the last two months of the regular season, as Scutaro hit a blistering .362/.385/.473 over 61 games for the Giants down the stretch after coming over in a trade from the Rockies. The hot hitting resulted in the 37-year-old getting a three-year, $20 million deal from the Giants, but don't make the same mistake in overpaying for him in your fantasy league. Scutaro batted just .271/.324/.361 with four homers over 95 games in the thin Denver air before catching fire at the plate while playing his home games at spacious AT&T Park. We simply can't count on another two-month streak where the career .276/.340/.391 hitter turns into Rod Carew.
Chris Nelson, 2B/3B, Rockies
Nelson was the Rockies' Opening Day third baseman last season, but most figured it would only be a matter of time before top prospect Nolan Arenado took over at the hot corner. Instead, Arenado had a down year at Double-A, and Nelson wound up making 68 starts at third, sharing the position mainly with Jordan Pacheco (who made 80 starts at the position). Nelson made two trips to the disabled list, but he certainly held his own at the dish when healthy, batting .301/.352/.458 with nine homers over 111 games. The 27-year-old was the beneficiary of a bloated .374 BABIP, though, and his career .281 batting mark in the minors suggests not to expect much in that area. He also doesn't run, has modest power and a lengthy injury history since his pro career began. Nelson will be the Opening Day third baseman again in 2013, but it would be a surprise if he ends the year as the starter there, whether it is a performance- or injury-related demotion.
Luis Cruz, SS/3B, Dodgers
Cruz entered the 2012 season as a career .221/.275/.260 hitter across 56 major league games, and he hadn't appeared in the big leagues since a cup of coffee in September of 2010. Yet, when the Dodgers made a late-season run at a playoff spot, it was the 29-year-old journeyman that they used as their regular third baseman. Cruz did his part, batting .297/.322/.431 with six homers and 40 RBI over 78 contests. But, while Cruz has also hit pretty decently at Triple-A the last couple years, there's little reason to think his surprising production in 2012 was more than a flash in the pan. This is a guy with a woeful .261/.296/.394 batting line during his minor league career, and he's never been a stolen base threat or much of a power source. To top it all off, the Dodgers could quickly grow tired of Hanley Ramirez at shortstop, moving him to the hot corner and putting Dee Gordon back at short. There's simply very little appeal here.

Erie's deep, dark history just won't let go of this town on the border of Boulder and Weld counties.
Starting Thursday, state mining officials will bring heavy equipment to Erie for a fourth and final time to shore up a 116-year-old mine that collapsed 60 feet underground, cratering and closing a segment of Bonanza Drive in 2007.
Al Amundson, project manager with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, said his crews have been back to the site twice since the collapse of the Baseline Mine -- in 2009 and 2011 -- to inject grout into the abandoned tunnel. The work that begins Thursday and lasts through most of February should shore up the mine once and for all.
"We'll drill down to the mine floor and grout as we come up," he said. "We'll be drilling 10 to 12 holes and each hole can take between one day and three days to grout."
Amundson expects that anywhere from 500 to 1,000 cubic yards of low-slump grout -- a mix of cement, water and sand -- will be injected into the mine during the six-week project. He said about half of the northbound lane on Bonanza, between Piper and Sunset drives, will be blocked during the job, but the work site shouldn't pose much of a problem for motorists on the lightly traveled road.
The state will have spent around $1.2 million dealing with the subsidence of the Baseline Mine, which operated from 1896 until 1942, when it wraps up its work next month, Amundson said. The money comes from a statewide coal severance tax fund.
Despite the fact that more than 120 abandoned coal mines dot the Boulder-Weld County Coal Field, which stretches from the Marshall area at Colo. 93 to the vicinity of Dacono and Frederick, Amundson said subsidence events like the one that sunk Bonanza Drive five years ago are not terribly common. Still he encourages residents in eastern Boulder County who live in homes built before February 1989 to consider participating in the state's Mine Subsidence Protection Program.
For a one-time fee of $305, homeowners can get coverage against mine subsidence-caused damage, up to $100,000 per occurrence.
"We're still dealing with the consequences of historic mining to one degree or another throughout the state," he said.
Sarah Wise, a member of the Erie Historical Society and a resident of the town for nearly all of her 89 years, said she remembers the days when coal was king not just in Erie, but in Louisville, Lafayette, Superior and other nearby towns. She recalls her uncle coming home at the end of a long day spent underground.
"Erie was built on mining and a lot of stores catered to the mines and miners," she said.
Wise said the subsidence of the Baseline Mine under Bonanza Drive in 2007 serves as a reminder of that industrial and gritty history, more than 50 years after the last mine in the area closed.
"You think you have everything all solved and all of a sudden you don't," she said.
Town spokesman Fred Diehl said while history reared its head on Bonanza Drive in a very noticeable way, he doesn't expect another incident of that type to occur elsewhere in Erie any time soon.
"We've not been informed of any similar situation" anywhere else, he said.

"101 Dalmatians" is a powerful story about family, animal cruelty and the triumph of kindness. It grabbed audiences in its first incarnation, the 1961 animated version, and it continued to warm hearts in the 1996 live-action version of the film. What could be more heartwarming than this classic story performed by the elementary school cast from StageDoor Theatre? On Thursday, May 10, the young actors from the Conifer-based theater open their production of "101 Dalmatians Kids," a rollicking musical version of the canine tale.

Alfalfa's Market took a significant step Thursday night toward locating a store in Louisville, when the city's Planning Commission gave a thumbs-up to a mixed-use project -- which would include the natural grocer as its anchor -- on the site of an abandoned Safeway store.
The commission voted unanimously to give its recommendation to the City Council to approve the project at the corner of South Boulder Road and Centennial Drive. The council is expected to take up the issue Nov. 20.
"It's a tremendous step forward," Commissioner Scott Russell said of the project, which would feature a 22,000-square-foot Alfalfa's and 111 high-end apartment units, in addition to 8,000 square feet of retail space.
All of the commissioners said the project, pitched by Boulder developer Jim Loftus, was far superior to what he had initially proposed for the 5-acre site. Earlier this year, Loftus told the city he wanted to build a 195-unit luxury apartment complex with 10,000 square feet of accompanying retail space.
His proposal, though reduced in size a couple of times during the approval process, invited harsh opposition from neighbors and other residents who felt the development was too dense, too massive and would cause too many traffic problems. The city rejected Loftus' plan in June.
Loftus regrouped and came to the city again in the summer, this time teamed up with Alfalfa's. His new plan placed emphasis on commercial space over residential and brought to the table a retailer that many residents had expressed a desire to have in the city.
Members of the Planning Commission expressed excitement Thursday at the idea of finally seeing the rejuvenation of a shopping center that has begun to spiral into disuse and neglect. Taxable sales in the overall South Boulder Road corridor have plummeted since Safeway closed in 2010, falling from $7.5 million in the first three quarters of 2006 to $2.5 million for the same span in 2011.
An Alfalfa's would generate $3 million in sales tax revenues for Louisville over a decade and employ 100 full-time and part-time employees, the city estimates. Last week, the City Council approved a generous business assistance package to the grocer if it locates in Louisville, offering a rebate of three years' worth of sales tax revenues, among other incentives.
"I think the scale and massiveness has improved," Chairman Jeff Lipton said of the new plan from Loftus. "I think this is a creative way to balance a number of interests."
But the majority of residents who spoke out at the meeting Thursday still weren't satisfied with what had been put on the table.
Valerie Hackman, who lives near the Safeway site, said the residential portion of the development should be two stories instead of three.
"I'm against the density, and I'm against the height -- it's still too high for this area," she said. "If this is the future of redevelopment in Louisville, Louisville will not be recognized in the future."
Resident Sid Vinall said Loftus' plan should envision some way of re-using the old 54,000-square-foot Safeway building.
"It would have been great if Alfalfa's could have just moved into the old Safeway building," he said.
The project should also, Vinall said, incorporate retail on the ground floor of the residential buildings planned for the site.
But several commissioners praised Loftus for being willing in the last few weeks to reduce the sheer mass of the residential building at the north end of the site, by breaking it up from one structure into three. Traffic would also be less problematic with the new plan than it had been with a fully operating Safeway, dropping from 5,600 vehicle trips per day to 3,990 trips daily, according to estimates from a traffic engineer hired by Loftus.
"I think this development is the kind of development we'll be shooting for under the new comprehensive plan," Commissioner Jeff Moline said.

It's hard to believe that this website is three years old today. Officially "GTA-SanAndreas.com" isn't exactly 3 years old, however the original website which was started as a subdomain on my old website Psycopsy.com was first placed up on February 17, 2003, and I'm amazed that people are still finding the site useful, and still contributing to the community to this day.
I'll try to keep this news update short and to the point. I thought I might as well post something seeing as it's a "special occasion", so thanks to all of the die hard members who have been coming to the site over the last few years for helping to turn it into what it is. I'd also like to thank all of the new members joining each day, and all of the silent lurkers who just check up on the information on the actual website. Hopefully the site will continue to grow over the next year and although this site isn't updated much anymore, we do have plans.
Speaking of the site growing... Many people know about our next big project, GTAGuides.com. I've tried not to name a specific date as to when we're going to have it ready for release. Ideally I'd have liked to release it today, but due to personal circumstances I haven't been able to work on the site as much as I'd have liked over the last month or so, so it's going to be awhile longer before we can get a test version up, and then finally the long awaited Version 1.0. As happy as we are with the site at the minute, it'll never be perfect in the first release, so we intend to update the sites content management system every few weeks with new features, adding whatever the members feel will improve the site. This is something we're all looking forward to and something we hope can ensure that this community continues to be one of the best places online for Grand Theft Auto news and information.
In other news Lee Meadowcroft informs me that in the UK, the BBC are running a poll on which is the best thing designed by the British over the last 100 years. As we should all know, Grand Theft Auto actually originates from the UK, from Edinburgh, Scotland where Rockstar North's headquarters are located to be exact, so we thought it would be a good idea to mention the fact that GTA has been included in the last 10 of this poll, and possibly point out that with your help voting, GTA could well end up coming first. As unrealistic and frankly stupid as it sounds, it would be interesting to think that thanks to your help, Grand Theft Auto is officially the best British invention in the last 100 years.
Click Here And Get Voting!.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for any updates we have on Grand Theft Auto 4, GTAGuides, or the soon to be released GTA: Liberty City Stories on PS2.

"May 24th is the day set for the big meeting of farmers and citizens of the county generally, to be held at Mexico for the purpose of organizing the Audrain County Farm Bureau. The Agricultural Committee decided on this date at a meeting Saturday afternoon. The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on the lot just north of the Hoxsey Hotel in a large tent. Invitations have been mailed by the Agricultural Committee to farmers throughout Audrain County. Free lunch will be served to all those holding invitations. Speakers of prominence familiar with farm bureaus and their benefits where now organized will present matters of vital importance to every farmer and stock raiser in Audrain County. It is felt that the farmers of Audrain County will feel sufficient interest to attend this meeting and help by organization to stamp out cholera and other contagious diseases of farm animals."

The first day of public shooting for the 1,000 Knitters photography project is this Saturday, July 14, from 9 am to 5:30 pm at Arcadia Knitting (1613 West Lawrence) in Chicago.
If you are thinking about coming, and I hope you are, please read the following carefully. I hate, hate, hate lists of rules, but I think setting forth a few will help to ensure a pleasant day for all.
- Do I need to sign up in advance? No. Sitting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. I've had terrible luck with advance reservations for stuff like this, particularly on summer weekends. That way madness lies.
When you arrive at the shop, you'll be given a number. Until your number is called, you're free to roam as you wish. The shop will be replete with a trunk show, sale items, new arrivals, and much more to occupy your time if you prefer to wait your turn on the premises.
Please don't stray too far, though; if you miss your turn, you'll be asked to move graciously to the rear of the line. Of course, I don't expect that to be an issue. Knitters are always fair and never pushy, unless there are Koigu mill ends going cheap.
- How long will the wait be? Honestly, I don't know. It will depend on how many people show up. I intend to keep things moving along as quickly as possible, but I also have to spend quality time with each person to tell our story properly.
I suppose I could shoot bangbangbang, three faces a minute, like those nice people who issue driver's licenses at the Department of Motor Vehicles; but I fear you might not like the results.
Besides...you're going to be in a yarn store. With knitters. How much of hurry are you going to be in to get away?
- What should I bring or wear? The only thing I will ask of you, other than the gift of your presence, is that you complete and sign a standard model release before you sit. A model release is a simple form which gives me permission to use your image in this project. The form will also ask you to provide your name, occupation, city and state to possibly accompany your photograph in future exhibitions. ADDENDUM: Please note that if you are under 18, you will also need to have your release signed by your parent or guardian.
As far as what to wear, that's up to you. Just please wear something. Not that I have moral objections to nudity, mind you, but the yarn is rather itchy.
- You want to use my name? Can I be anonymous? While I would prefer that you agree to use both your first and last names, I won't insist. But I will ask that you at least provide your first name and initial. After all, part of the point of this is lifting the veil of anonymity that traditionally blankets those who do handwork. If you are not willing to be identified minimally as, for example, "Patricia T. of Niles, Illinois" then you may prefer not to sit.
- What will this cost me? There is no charge for participation. What happens when you encounter the bin of sale yarns, however, is your own affair.
- Will be allowed to preview and approve my photograph? What, and spoil all the fun on the day I launch the first exhibit? I couldn't possibly do that to you.
- I can't be there. Are you going to do this again? Yes! I've got three messages (at least) from other yarn shops waiting for a response and I am hoping to work out arrangements with all of them. In addition, it looks like (this is not confirmed) I may be shooting at Stitches Midwest. And that's just for starters.

Floyd Mayweather and Shantel Jackson Attend Clippers Game (Photos)
Mayweather will have to start out 2012 in a jail cell, so might as well live it up in the last days of 2011.
He and his fiancée Miss Jackson caught the Bulls vs. Clippers game last night.
Do they have a McDonalds in the arena or do you have to bring those in? Inquiring minds want to know.
All of Mayweather's criminal cases has been settled (he has some civil ones he needs to clear up), so once he gets out of the Pen he will be free and clear.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Pew Research calls it the "Lost Decade Of the Middle Class." "Since 2000, the middle class has shrunk in size, fallen backward in income and wealth and shed some -- but by no means all -- of its characteristic faith in the future," says the Pew Research Center in a 2012 study targeting the financial health of the U.S. middle class. Low-income Americans have it worse. According to the Urban Institute, in 2011, 39.6% of American families were living below 200% of the federal poverty level. "Many of these families struggle daily to make ends meet, even if they work," says the Institute in a recent report. That's disturbing news, and 2013 has started out on shaky ground with a fourth-quarter gross domestic product report showing the U.S. economy experiencing negative growth (although most economists say that should be temporary.) If there is a silver lining, it may come from an unlikely source: the Internal Revenue Service. According to Capital One Financial ( COF), there are some opportunities to save more money on taxes for low- and middle-class families -- you just have to know where to look. "Tax season is a good opportunity to plan for the future, especially if you anticipate receiving a refund," says Mariadele Priest, director of community development banking at Capital One Bank. "When individuals learn how to save, budget, pay down their debts and build their assets, they can become more financially secure and direct more money back into the local economy." That's where taxes -- more specifically, the lack of them -- can make a difference. "Being thorough in the tax preparation process is critical to ensuring low-to-middle income families can take advantage of important credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, that can jump-start a long-term savings plan," she says. Priest says low- and middle-income taxpayers should focus on these three areas to save money and improve their overall personal financial situation:
- Earned Income Tax Credit: The EITC is worth a maximum of $6,044, and many who qualify aren't claiming it, Priest says. "In fact, one in five people who could claim the credit don't because they do not know about it or because they don't file their taxes," Priest says. Taxpayers in 22 states may also qualify for a state or local EITC tax break. Check with your tax preparer.
- Free tax preparation and filing: Capital One says it's helping pay for free tax prep for low-income families and small-business entrepreneurs around the nation. If you make less than $57,000 annually, there are already 15 tax preparation services that allow you to file for free. And you can also file for free, no matter what your income level, at at the IRS' website.
- Tax-advantaged retirement savings: Priest advises using tax refunds to "jump-start" a savings plan. Maxing out on an individual retirement account contribution can make a huge difference in your financial future, Priest says. "You have until the very last day to contribute and deduct the amount from your taxable income," she explains. The contribution limit for 2012 is $5,000 if you're 49 or younger and $6,000 if you're 50 or older.

Posted on June 17, 2009
In the good old days past recall, we'd send two people each time we picked up someone's books. This had a number of advantages. If no parking was available, one person could drive around and around the block while the other packed books. Or if parking and/or security was dubious, one person could sit with the vehicle while the other packed books. Or, most often, while one person packed books, the other could talk.
Someone who is giving up a lifetime collection of books has things to say. They're moving. They're downsizing. A relative is moving in, to take care of the donor or to be taken care of. But there's always something to say, because books become more than furniture, if less than family. That red book that's the third book over on the second shelf has been the third book over on the second shelf since the owner moved in, and the whole world is different once that book is not there, even if it hasn't been read in thirty years. So one volunteer nods and makes sympathetic noises while the silent partner gets things packed, uninterrupted by the need to nod and make sympathetic noises.
Her name was not Lola, so let's use that. Macular degeneration was going to take her eyesight by the end of the year and she wanted to see the people carry away her books. (I call this "Old Yeller Syndrome"; it's my collection, the love of my life, and I will take responsibility for getting rid of it.) How many books, I asked. She wasn't sure, but they filled a big bookcase that took up a whole wall of her dining room. I called a driving volunteer, collected twenty empty boxes, and set off.
Lola was about four foot six, and her big bookcase was one of those modular ones from the early part of the century: dark wood, glass doors. There were three modules, and the books in them were small. They were reading editions, heavy on poetry and drama. I packed, and Carol, the driver, did the listening and nodding.
You could tell before Lola told us that these were Mamma's Books. The set of Shakespeare had been on the top shelf since Mamma bought them, around 1919. the collection of Longfellow had been the second book from the right on the second shelf since before my parents were born. These books meant something to Lola. In the days before radio, Lola and her sister sewed or mended in the evenings while Mamma read to them: Shakespeare, Longfellow, Tennyson, Bryant. They were not completely nineteenth century in their tastes. Here were Amy Lowell, Robert Frost, Rupert Brooke, Ezra Pound. Pound, Lola confessed, had been kind of a struggle, but at least Mamma tried.
This was all Lola had left of those days. Mamma died in the 1950s, and Lola's sister was gone ten years now: lung cancer. Her sister had married and there was a niece and nephew Lola loved and was loved by, but she said, "These aren't Mamma's Books to them. These are just old Auntie Lola's books, and that's not the same. I won't burden them with the books. Sell the books to someone else who'll read them."
The books filled six and a half boxes. It would have been six, but a couple of atlases needed separate accommodation. As I worked, Lola talked to Carol, with her back firmly turned to me. At length, though, she realized that I was standing at her elbow.
"May I help you with something?" she asked, turning just a little.
"No, I'm done," I said. "Unless you have more books somewhere else."
She whipped around and peered at the empty bookcase. "You're done! But…that was so quick! It didn't hurt!"
Carol and I laughed and said we were good at this of work. Lola waved a hand at the bookcase.
"You don't understand! I was sure it would take an hour or more and I was sure I'd break down and embarrass myself, crying about Mamma's books! But you're done!"
We laughed a little more sympathetically, and said that bit about "more than furniture, less than family."
"You don't UNDERSTAND!" She threw a hand toward the door of the apartment. "They're changing the windows in the hallways. One day they take the old ones out, and they put up yellow caution tape and a big sign, and the next day they put in the new ones. They took out the windows on this floor yesterday, and I was so sure I'd break down when you took Mamma's books that I thought, if I walk out that window to a ten-story drop, no one will ever know. They'd just think poor old Lola, with her eyesight, couldn't read the signs. And they'd never know. But you've been so quick that I think I can go on now."
That is the heaviest thing I have ever been handed in a Book Fair donation, the idea that something I take for granted, that the job is to get the books as quickly as possible and then get out, would make that much difference.
You may call it the fickle finger of fate, if you like, but Carol was one of these volunteers who have a different volunteer activity for each day of the week, and one of those was the Talking Books program. (This was back in the days when listening to books on tape was limited largely to the blind.) She promised to send Lola some information on the program.
The next time I called on Carol, I had to ask. "Do you remember Lola? Did you get her that Talking Book information?"
"Oh, yes," she said. "She's got her tape player and the first set she ordered was the Complete Works of Longfellow. She says it's not quite the way Mamma read it, but she's enjoying it."
If it comes to that, I never knew listening to Longfellow would make someone so happy. Learn something new every day in this job.

We all make mistakes... some bigger than others... this thread is about those mistakes.
I've only been here a matter of months and I am sure to have made a complete ass of myself on occasion. CE&P is obviously a place of strong opinions, often pitting very different views against each other. Sometimes these differences are just matters of opinion; but often we are proven demonstrably wrong or privately reach the conclusion for ourselves that we were mistaken. So... this thread is about those times... feel free to list a time when you made a complete ass of yourself on CE&P.
1.) No "fake" concessions (e.g., "I thought _______ was really stupid... but he proved to be even stupider than I thought.").
2.) Don't "help" any other posters in posting their mistakes; this thread is about self-awareness.
3.) No disparaging comments about others' concesions (e.g., things in the spirit of "Yes... you were pretty dumb when you said that.")
I'm not sure I expect much out of this thread... but feel free to prove me wrong... please make a complete ass of me on my feeling about this...

I need some schooling on RT on/off assemblies.
I was speaking to Loguzzzzz about running a ULT on a pneumag and this was his response..."The ULT is not the best setup for a Pneumag. The RT on/off is the best I have found. The reactivity helps to reset the pneumatics and is slightly faster on re-charge."
I trust his imput but the question is: Can I run a RT on/off assembly on a stock valve?
Also, What will a RT on/off assembly in a stock valve effect as far as the total operation of the gun? (ie. will it make it run like a regular RT valve)
All I have in the valve is a Phase II charger and a LVL 10 kit. Any info on this subject can help, thank you.

Why drinking Kangen water is very important?
Most Fort Collins, CO residents are dehydrated. Did you know that over 70% of Americans are dehydrated? It is scary. People eat more than drink water. American culture is very food oriented and people drink soda, juices, milk when t hey are thirsty. Wrong move.
Already several nights Eyes looked real Already several nights can not sleep Because it always remembered To you To you Eyes looked obviously smile your laugh The heart is always pounding When close to you The scent of flowers Awaken this longing, like yourself, near this body Soften your speech, calm my heart, though cuman briefly, treat my longing Soften your speech, calm my heart, though cuman briefly, treat my longing Only I can stand the longing in the chest Like no one else's heart Every night always remembered I leave my longing, in the starlight Fragrant Aroma of flowers, arouse this longing, like you are near this body Soften your speech, calm my heart, though cuman briefly, treat my longing I just hold it in my chest Friend of heart no one else Every night always remembered I leave my longing for the starlight It's been several nights, unable to sleep, because you always remembered Eyes looked obviously smile your laugh The heart is always pounding,When close to you.
Where Can I Buy Kangen Water In Fort Collins, CO?
What water is important? Until I went on the detox diet and started drinking a lot of water and eliminating all sodas, even diet sodas, regular coffee and tea, I did not realize how much my body needed water. I was dehydrated and miserable. Tired and sleepy. I was drinking a pot of coffee a day! Yes a day to be awake and to chase after my kids and run my business, until one day i decided to change my health. Bad habits can become a part of your life so the good habits can be a part of your life as well.
When To Change Kangen Water Filter?
All filtration products are designed and manufactured in Osaka, Japan under a strict code of guidelines that are imposed by the Japanese government.
Enagic but goes a step further than most other manufacturers.
All components of all products are made from scratch in our factory under strict supervision ensuring efficiency, durability, and the ability to produce the highest quality of Kangen water you can imagine.
Since the plates to carbon filters: everything is done in one place.
With an incredible result: Perfection.
In the factory every product is tested before leaving the factory is authorized.
Once pH levels, levels of ORP and each function of each unit is checked It is when the output is permitted.
But going further from quality controls, also is staffed Enagic engineers highly trained to design superior products for future use.
Enagic think that with all these production details contained in a single factory a higher level of synergy is created producing the finest possible product.
I started drinking water. I thought I am going to get sick from drinking too much water but my body was craving for more. I did not get tired as much, my skin got better and my weight loss had increased.
Interesting fact that one glass of water can stop night hunger for all the dieters, according to university of Washington study.
The medical research is powerful and it shows that 5-6 glasses of water a day decreases the risk of colon cancer by 44% plus reduce the breast cancer risk by 80%. That is powerful guys. It is water. that is all.
When To Change Kangen Water Filter?
For the body to function in harmony it must be hydrated well. The qualities of water determine our health quality. Water changes body temperature and helps all organs to function normally, especially digestive tract. By doing that, it removes all toxins from body.
70-80% in our body is water:
1. our body is made up of 60-75% of water
2. The brain is made up of 85% of water.
3. Our blood is about 91% water
4. Our brain is about 80% water
I was not drinking water, I never was thirsty much but when I forced myself basicly to drink water I was getting more thirsty. We must drink water every hour to prevent dehydration. If we are too thirsty then we really get dehydrated and it reflects on our skin, sleep paterns and mood. I experienced all the skin problems, sleep problems and even mood swings, so from my personal experience drinking water became the powerful element in the healthy diet.

We must listen to our bodies and watch our body and it will tell us when you need water. Fort Collins Kangen water for example is very hydrating water due to the fact it has smallest clusters of water molecules and they get into the system faster than any other drinks out there.

The principle that is not understood by the male siblings is that the fabric store is the most fascinating place to shop. And JoAnne's is full of many more things than fabric. In fact, I often see men there, waiting to get their fabric cut, finding other treasures, etc. etc., etc. And Ann, I need to get on the e-mail mailing list.

JoAnne's is the largest bait and switch retailer of our times, I'm with Dwight, paint on.

Ah, life is good. A little conversation about important things always brings out the best in each of us. Carry on. If you will notice, neither Judy nor Louise have chimed in. Judy is probably already at JoAnn's seeing if there is anything worth going back for, and Louise is probably busy quilting.

Again, all of you read Pickles on Sunday. The creator of Pickles is at his best when he writes about visiting the fabric store! (Of course, Opal's painting is also very funny.)

- Judith said...
This has been going on since Monday? Where have I been? Actually yesterday day was very stress filled for me. The debate was whether I could justify a trip to Olympia's westside (where JoAnn's is located).
Would Dwight and Steve like to be put on their mailing list? The last time I was getting fabric, I ran into Charley Reed in the store. Myrtle was also there, but that is beside the point. Will check on Pickels.
- December 10, 2009 at 8:41 AM
- Elizabeth said...
Alas, Pickles has been stuck a few days on the problem of the remote - Opal, in a moment of total absentmindedness, put it down the garbage disposal in lieu of the old enchalada. (Anyone could make a mistake like that, right?) However, the Pickles cartoons about fabrics and fabric shopping are immortalized on my frig. By the way, I went to JoAnne's the last time we were in Logan. And the local quilt shop, and .....

Another thing, do any of you besides Dwight check at the bottom of Real-time (before the map), to see who and where has visited Penrose Mornings? Some of the places are really exotic, and some of the things people are searching for sound far afield. Just for fun!
- December 11, 2009 at 2:58 PM
- Louise Blood said...
Well, I have to get in on this. I'm wondering if Brian Crane's wife is a quilter. There have been some choice cartoons about quilting and of course I have saved all of them. When Cheryl had her store we would have an occassional husband with his wife, and for the most part they were patient, some not. We would have fun converstions with them. And then there were the husbands who dropped their wives off and went elsewhere, and came back to pick them up. I'll bet these same men have a blast at the hardware store. Now, that's where I would opt for watching paint dry.
During the shop hops, Cheryl would ring a bell and say there's a man in the store, and give him a little prize. They didn't seem to mind the attention. We made it fun for them.
- December 12, 2009 at 10:47 AM
- Elizabeth said...
Glad you joined the mix, Louise. Your story about men and their quilter wives in the store reminds me of more strict days in the dorms at Laramie, when a man would come on the floor to carry luggage, repair something, etc, and a monitor would have to go in front, shouting "Man on the floor". Those days are gone forever.
- December 12, 2009 at 1:08 PM
- Judy said...
How did we get from coupons and fabric and getting Dwight & Steve on the JoAnn mailing list to "man on the floor" of a college dorm? That was one rule that should still be in force.

Please remember, there are mailing lists for Rogaine,Cattle growers assc., Sears Automotive, J.Ws... anyone see the dangers of mailing lists?

Okay, you can count me out on Elizabeth's request for a volunteer. (for names on the mailing list). Although, Steve, you did show an early interest when you said you would clear your calendar for the senior citizen discount day. I'm sure you were serious.

Yah, STEEEEVE. Where's Dwight?
- December 14, 2009 at 9:32 AM
- Ann said...
Ok, this is hilarious. I don't look for a new subject, just for the latest comment. It is fun to see everyone still has a sense of humor, even with snow, very cold weather, frozen roads, and Christmas cards to make/finish/buy/wait until next year to do etc. Happy Monday! This is more fun than facebook - still can't get that one figured out, and besides this isn't nearly as public (maybe?).
- December 14, 2009 at 11:50 AM
- Louise Blood said...
See what you started, Ann. Are we going for another record?
- December 14, 2009 at 1:37 PM
- Elizabeth said...
Remember the Ronco Rotisserie mailing list? This could be dangerous. Look for odd things coming in the mail - actually, they couldn't be more strange than they already are. If anyone has heard of our address, they're sending their ads to us. So, besides JoAnne's mailers, what else can we find to share? And, Ann, glad to hear that you can't figure out Facebook, either. Neither can I!
- December 14, 2009 at 3:38 PM
- Judy said...
Facebook is a piece of cake, just ask Dwight. That's why I have so much going there. The last time somebody put me on a mailing list was when dear, sweet, innocent Ann signed me up for AARP. Come to think of it, I haven't had something from them in a long time. Maybe they heard me talking.
Who is going to sign up Dwight and Steve? And where is Dwight today? And don't tell me that he is busy, tired, or watching TV.
- December 14, 2009 at 5:18 PM
- Dwight said...
Dwight will sign up when my siblings all abandon their correct political principles. I am publishing a new book titled "101 Ways to Avoid Getting Browbeaten Into Going In a Fabric Store." And the second one "101 Things I would rather do than go into a fabric store." I expect them to be best sellers. Fortunately, my eternal helpmeet does not quilt. Neither does she sew. Neither does she make breakfast or lunch. Neither does she frequent fabric stores. Neither does she knit or tat and make little doilies to strew around to make the place look grandmotherly. Other than these not-so-shortcomings (except for the breakfast and lunch) she is o.k. She watches sports, listens to my rants, tolerates my mess, and comments only weekly about the cabinet door that fell off months ago and needs fixed. I am moving into phase 5(a) in meditating about getting around to looking at it, certain that it is unfixable and the door will stay off. So I am not plagued with issues here except being bugged by my sisters. Etc. Etc.
- December 15, 2009 at 7:38 PM

So, moving on -------

"correct" is something I'm not ready to give up.

Make it five wins in a row for the Sycamore boys 7th graders. The pups easily dispatched of visiting McKenney by a score of 37-19. The boys never trailed in the game, but they do have a bad habit of getting off to slow starts. "It seems like it takes us most of the first quarter to find a rhythm," said coach Mike Erickson. "It seems like it takes a key shot or a nice defensive play to get us up and running." That boost came on a nice lay-up by Ahmed Khan early in the quarter which put the pups up 8 to 2. After that, Brandon Lara was able to hit a couple of layups and the pups were rolling.
A few really nice assists helped to keep everyone in the game. Tyler Little scored on a pair of out-of-bounds plays with assists by Trevor Facey and Brian Wilkerson. Facey also dumped a nice pass down low to Little later in the second quarter which helped to push the lead to 21-4 at the half. The pups pulled back into a 2-3 zone and cruised to an easy win. The pups were led in scoring by Randy Miller with 11 points including shooting 3 for 4 from the free-thrown line. In 5 games this year, the pups have had 4 different leading scorers. It is a true testament to the depth and balance of talent on this team. The pups play games next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The weekend games happen when Sycamore plays host in the annual Ray Roberts Tournament held in honor of the life and service Ray Roberts provided to Gridley Schools and the community. Come on out and watch some really great basketball.
Little 6, Lara 6, Khan 2, Miller 11, Facey 3, Brothers 0, Gonzalez 5, Props 0, Ramirez 0, Wilkerson 2, Lenzer 0, McCracken 2

If this new build can compete with the eddie mag at all its going to be a sight to behold!
If you got a minute or ten, listen to this tune. If you like Metal It's kinda required listening and it will put you in the mood for what's coming...cause it's coming...oh yes it's coming.

Nifty. So are all the surfaces that touch bare?
The marker was loosely assembled so yes for the most part the surfaces that touch are bare.
mind = blown!
Thanx for the props everyone... Thanx BigE, your comments crack me up. Thank you for your input on my builds. . Any time I'm working on a new build I hit him up for his opinion cause I respect what he has to say so thank you. Shooting video up MondayOriginally Posted by BigEvil
Here is a look under the hood and an iphone video to show that it does work. It's kinda funny cause I am right handed so when I pull the trigger with my left hand my right hand(holding the camera) starts to spazz out. I shot like 5 shooting videos with paint this weekend but my wifes stupid camera only filmed 30 seconds each time, so basically I am almost out of air.

how do you like the rocker trigger?

props man this thing is great.
The rocking triggers are easy to adapt to my frames, I can also do 18 bps with no ramping.
