Innova Champion Disc Golf Set
New disc golfers looking for an upgrade over Innova's DX Disc Golf set should consider the Innova Champion Starter Pack. Innova's Champion plastic is a step up from the DX plastic in that it is more rugged and resistant to scratches and other surface damage. Whereas the DX discs' flight characteristics will be altered as the disc becomes more broken in and worn, Champion discs will retain their original tendencies.
Like typical starter sets, the Champion pack comes with a driver, mid-range, and a putter. While the DX set comes with a fairway driver, the Innova Champion set comes with a more advanced distance driver, the Valkrie. Where a fairway driver is used more for tight throws and to hold specific lines, a distance driver is used to gain any extra inch it can off of the tee.
The Champion Panther included in the set is the perfect all around disc. It is a nice beginner disc because it is versatile and can be used for both long and short-range approaches to the pin. The Panther is a slightly understable disc meaning that it will turn to the right early in flight for right-handed backhand throws and fade back to the left to some extent as the disc begins to slow down.
The putter in the Innova Champion starter set is the always reliable Aviar P&A. This is the same model of putter included in the DX set, the only difference being the plastic type. The Aviar isn't going to win any style points but it is a dependable disc that players can rely on in tough putting situations.
The Champion starter set is a nice set for more advanced players or for beginners looking to branch out and expand their disc collection, offering different throwing options. These discs aren't as easy to learn with as the DX discs, but they are great once players develop a feel for the sport.

I've never been the type to say what I feel
So basically I keep everything inside
And with you it was no different
I want to tell you, believe me I've tried
But there's part of me that just can't take that chance
So I doubt that you'll ever know
Which may be fine with you, but it's hurting me
I choose not to show it though
I guess I'm your secret admirer
That name seems to fit just right
I don't know what I like about you
But you're on my mind, day and night
Maybe it's the way you look
So sexy I can't get enough
Or how you make me feel when you come around
I instantly forget all other stuff
Maybe it's the way you say my name
Or maybe it's the way you smile
Then again it might just be everything
Getting to know you seems worth my while
But I guess I'll never know what it is
My true feelings I could never reveal to you
I'll just admire you from a distance
I'm not sure what else there is to do
One of my best friends has a HUGE crush on me, he told me a couple months ago and things got awkward. After a while we ended up becoming closer friends. The other day he was saying he might...

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
When it comes to working on changing and enhancing the colors in our photographs, there are so many different tools which we can use, it's just amazing. Here we're going to take a look at one of my favorite tools, it is Color Balance. You can access Color Balance by clicking on this icon here and I like this tool because it allows us to work really quickly and visually. Here you can see I have a few sliders. The sliders are color coded so it's easy to know how these are going to affect your photograph. We can also target different tones.
Let's start off in our midtones, which is the default, which you've selected, and here I'm going to bring up my reds and also my yellows. And simply by making this adjustment, we can see it's really change the overall characteristics of the sunrise photograph. Next, we can target different areas as well. Let's say, we go into our shadows. Well, in the shadows, I could then brighten those up by adding some red to those and all of a sudden, well, it completely changed this color palette. We could change this by cooling and often having some cool and warm tones together or we could just warm this up and have these kind of brilliant reds.
By changing the tone really, it's focusing in on the Brightness value of your photographs. If we want the brighter tones like these tones in here to change more aggressively or in a more focused way, just go to Highlights and you can see that you can start to work on that tonal area. And sometimes by having these controls, well, it can help you come up with these different colors which you can work together in order to create perhaps an interesting photograph like this here. Let's take a look at that before and after, here's before and now here's after.
Well, this example is pretty dramatic; what about one which is a bit more subtle. Let's take a look at another photograph, this family portrait. Here once again, let's click on Color Balance. This time, I'll work on my midtones and just warm this up a little bit. Adding a touch of red, also a little bit of yellow. As I add these amounts, I need to go back and forth between my sliders and perhaps add a little bit of magenta to here. And I'm just looking to try to add some more to this photograph which was captured at the end of the day.
How much color you've applied or how much of a yellow or red or whatever it is, is really just up to you. It's kind of like you're changing this color just to your own taste or to what you like to see. Here we have that before a little bit too cool, now nice warm and inviting those nice colors that you get at dusk. Well, let's look at one more image; this time we have another photograph captured at sunset but rather than making this warm, rather than bringing out reds and yellows, I want to deepen the blues.
So once again, we're going to use Color Balance. Here we'll click on the Color Balance icon. And in this case, we're just going to increase the blues and also the cyans. The cyans allow us to control what the color of that blue is; is it a little bit more purple or is it a little bit more cyan. Here I just want to mix those together until I have that nice mix, and also perhaps add in a little bit of magenta or green if that might help, and then let's take a look. Here it is before and then now after.
And so as you can see from these few examples and why I included these is you can use Color Balance in order to come up with really dramatic enticing colors. Other times you may make subtle adjustments and then still others, you may just look to draw out the colors which are already there in order to further your vision for how you want your pictures to look, and Color Balance is one of those tools that you want to include in your suite of tools.
There is no one tool which is best, rather it's knowing how to use all of these different tools and then experimenting a little bit in order to discover which tools and techniques will work best when trying to modify or enhance the colors in your pictures.

BMW R1200RT - Best Tank Bag
Looking for a tank bag for my recently purchased R1200RT. The Giant Loop Fandango I have been moving between bikes will not work well on the RT.
It needs to fit a mid size DSLR camera with a lens or two, compact binoculars and snacks, wallet & other quick access basics. I don't like the huge supertanker tank bags. The Giant Loop Fandango was a tiny bit small for my needs but I like the overall size of it. A Fandango sized bag with outside pockets and a way to cleanly mount to the tank surround on the RT without straps going all over the place would be perfect. Ease of access to the fuel fill is important too.
What are your recommendations....and why
Then, while at WFO on my way up a dune, I understood. It was like the heavens opened up and I heard the voices of Angels.
Shortly afterward, I heard the voice of God. He said, and I quote, "Dumbass."

Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Most Chinese stocks rose as speculation that easing inflation will allow policymakers to loosen monetary policies overshadowed concern the European debt crisis will hurt Chinese exports.
Huaneng Power International Inc. led a rally for power producers after 21st Century Business Herald reported the nation's cabinet is reviewing a plan to increase electricity prices paid to power plants. China Shenhua Energy Co. gained 1 percent after the largest coal producer said production rose 19 percent in October. China Minsheng Banking Corp. paced declines for financial companies after the International Monetary Fund called for China to expand oversight of banks as risks increase from off-balance sheet lending and a surge in property prices.
"The one bright side is that inflation is easing in China and there's room for the government to loosen policy," said Wu Kan, a fund manager at Dazhong Insurance Co., which oversees $285 million. "Investors are constantly reminded about the debt crisis in Europe with new developments every day and they are also concerned about a possible slowdown in growth."
The Shanghai Composite Index, which tracks the bigger of China's stock exchanges, rose 1 point, or less than 0.1 percent, to 2,529.76 at the close, after changing directions at least 13 times. About two shares gained for every one that declined. The CSI 300 Index slid 0.2 percent to 2,744.68. The Bloomberg China- US 55 Index fell 0.5 percent to 102.17 at the close of trading in New York yesterday.
The Shanghai Composite has dropped 9.9 percent this year after the central bank raised interest rates three times and lifted the reserve-requirement ratio to curb inflation. The index is valued at 11.9 times estimated earnings, compared with a record low of 10.8 times on Oct. 21, according to weekly data compiled by Bloomberg.
Power Producers
A gauge of utilities in the CSI 300 advanced 1.2 percent, the most among the 10 industry groups. Huaneng, China's biggest power producer, climbed 1.4 percent to 5.15 yuan. Shanghai Electric Power Co. added 2.3 percent to 5.45 yuan.
The proposal to raise so-called on-grid tariffs was submitted for approval by the State Council, 21st Century Business Herald said today, citing unidentified people. Retail power prices for commercial users may also be adjusted, it said.
China should raise electricity prices while inflationary pressure is easing, the China Daily cited Jiang Kejun, a researcher with the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, as saying. There will be "severe" discrepancy between coal and power prices with power shortages this winter, Jiang said, according to the newspaper.
China Shenhua Energy Co., the biggest coal producer, advanced 1 percent to 28.44 yuan after it said commercial coal production rose 19 percent from a year earlier to 23.4 million tons in October.
Inflation Outlook
China's consumer price gains slowed to 5.5 percent in October from a three-year high of 6.5 percent in July, giving the government greater scope to unwind monetary tightening as Europe's debt crisis hurt exports.
"Inflation is probably going to fall going forward and we hope for a soft landing in growth," Jonathan Garner, Morgan Stanley's chief emerging-market and Asia strategist, said in an interview from Singapore. "We should be in a better environment for the stock market."
Morgan Stanley forecasts a 39 percent gain for emerging- market stocks by the end of next year and joined UBS AG in favoring Chinese stocks, bolstered by confidence the government will loosen monetary policies to support Asia's biggest economy.
"We expect a soft landing in China and earnings growth should hold up very well in this environment, we think the market is too cheap," said Hong Kong-based Garner, whose Asian research team was second-ranked by Institutional Investor magazine this year. China may cut interest rates in the first half of 2012, he said.
Financials Retreat
A gauge of banks and developers in the CSI 300 slid 0.8 percent. Minsheng Banking lost 1.3 percent to 6.03 yuan. Huaxia Bank Co., partly owned by Deutsche Bank AG, dropped 1.2 percent to 10.90 yuan. China Vanke Co., the nation's biggest developer, declined 1.1 percent to 7.55 yuan.
While a stress test of 17 major commercial banks showed they were resilient to isolated shocks, such as a real-estate slump or a shift in short-term versus long-term interest rates, a combination of blows at the same time would leave the system "severely impacted," the IMF said.
European Concerns
Jiangxi Copper Co., the nation's biggest producer of the metal, slid 0.9 percent to 28.02 yuan. PetroChina Co., the largest energy producer, declined 0.6 percent to 10.12 yuan.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell as much as 1 percent today after the yield on the Italian five-year bond rose following an auction and Spanish 10-year rates surged to a euro-era record above German yields. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble also said Europe's permanent bailout fund may not be implemented before 2013. German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union party voted to offer euro states a "voluntary" means of leaving the currency area.
China Railway Construction dropped 1.2 percent to 4.83 yuan. China Railway Group Ltd. lost 0.3 percent to 3.16 yuan.
The nation's spending on railway construction in the first 10 months fell 28 percent from the same period a year ago to 367.4 billion yuan ($58 billion), according to a statement on the Ministry of Railways website today.

Romney Makes It Official
Republican hopeful to make his bid for the presidency official.
Another Republican jumps into the presidential race today.
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is expected to make his formal announcement.
Romney is trying to make it clear that he's the "anti-Obama".
"He's been one of the most ineffective Presidents at the job at hand that I've ever seen," Romney said recently.
Romney critics say he'll face a difficult task distancing himself from the President's health plan.
President Obama's plan was based on Romney's.
"My bill was 70 pages. His bill is 2,700 pages," Romney has countered. "In those extra 2,630 pages he's doing a lot of stuff that is just devastating to the healthcare system."
Romney's first challenge may be Sarah Palin.
Her bus tour is generating a lot of publicity, but is it leading to a presidential announcement?
Palin won't commit.
Whoever runs will need a lot of money.
President Obama's campaign's aiming to raise $60 million this month.

The proposal to introduce a new Section 509B in the Criminal Law (amendment) Bill, 2011, has given women in the country reason to rejoice. With this amendment, the Indian Penal Code will make stalking, which includes following a woman repeatedly, contacting her through phone, mail or any other form of communication or loitering or watching the place where she works or lives, a punishable offence, with imprisonment of up to seven years.
Women across the country feel that the move will be a formal acknowledgement of the mental trauma that a victim of stalking goes through. Even a Katrina Kaif and a Shilpa Shetty, despite their high security, have had their fair share of stalking. Will this bill provide any real respite? Stars get talking to Hyderabad Times.
Invasion of someone's privacy by stalking can be nerve-wrecking and devastating, especially in India where the woman is often blamed for a stalker's misconduct unless of course she is a celebrity. I am so glad that they are proposing a law which will discourage this form of misdemeanor. However, along with this, it is more important to review and make "rape" laws very severe as I feel in most cases "rape" and "stalking" is amounting to practically similar amount of punishment. The worst part is the continued existence of section 155(4) of IEA — it is a matter of argument that this provision offers protection to the accused if the woman in question is of 'immoral character'! - Celina
I'll be immensely happy if this law is passed. Personally, since I'm away from home a lot, my parents are constantly worried about my safety due to the bad experiences I've had. I
sometimes get stalked constantly and I also have to deal with persistent calls too. It's scary. I hope the government passes this bill at the earliest.
- Hansika Motwani
Rape is also a punishable law. But how many convictions do we actually see? In a country where 800 million people are struggling to survive on a day to day basis, crimes that don't result in fatalities, will hardly be taken seriously, irrespective of the laws.

The purpose of this ceremony is to draw the Gathering to a close and to pass over the duties to the following year's Gathering committee. The basket usually contains blank plastic name tags so that the following year's Gathering group doesn't need to purchase new ones. Once all the accounts have been paid the current Gathering committee customarily hands over a sum of money to the next committee in order to start the next year's Gathering funds off.

Most people assume that healthy children will have no vision problems. But this isn't always true.
My friend's child was exceptional in reading, drawing and other indoor activities but showed no interest in outdoor activities. In school, her teacher complained about lack of interest in studies.
My puzzled friend took her to a doctor who referred him to an ophthalmologist. When she was examined, the girl had a high myopia (short sightedness). Now after vision correction with glasses she hardly stays at home, says the girl's mother. This is a real eye opener, as many think that healthy children will have normal vision.
Many children start school without ever having an eye examination. Undiagnosed vision problems are a major cause of learning difficulties. This can lead to inattentiveness in school, which may be misinterpreted as behavioural issues or learning disabilities.
Most eye problems in a child are treatable, since the majority are refractive errors. Appropriate correction can restore their vision and help them develop normal binocular vision with depth perception.
The difficulty arises when the refractive error or visual problem is in one of the two eyes. This is a major problem and, if left uncorrected, the child develops lazy eye and squinting. If diagnosed early (before eight years) appropriate treatment like patching and visual stimulation can help restore vision.
Often the problem lies in convincing the parents. Many try alternative options and turn up late for proper treatment. Refractive error or a squint is not a disease but a developmental error. Appropriate vision testing at an early age is vital to insure that the child has the visual skills needed to perform well in school. A child unable to see print or a blackboard can become frustrated, leading to poor academic performance. Some vision problems, such as lazy eye, are best treated as early as possible, while the child's vision system is still developing.
A child doesn't know or realise there is a correct way to see things. So don't expect him/her to discuss visual problems they might have. Keep an eye open to see if the child displays any symptoms and get him/her examined periodically by a qualified ophthalmologist.
Holding books too close to eyes
Constantly rubbing eyes
Continuously squinting
Irritated or teary eyes
Sitting/moving close to the board
Trying to copy from children next to them
Any unusual behaviour after going to school
Infants should have their first eye examination at six months of age. Additional exams at the age of 3 and 5-6 (just before they enter std. I).
School children should get their eyes screened every two years if no vision correction is required. Children who need eyeglasses should be examined annually or as recommended by the doctor.
Premature babies need immediate eye examination followed by regular checkups to prevent early retinal problems. If untreated, they can end up with incurable blindness.
Children whose parents wear glasses and with a family history of squinting need regular follow-ups.

I'm about to do my annual tomato planting. The plants are about 8" - 12" tall and some already have a few flowers on them. Should I pinch off the flowers when I plant them so more energy goes into establishing a healthy plant and rootball? For those that might be interested, this year I'm planting: ďż˝ Sungold (3 plants) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think for a 12" tomato plant is too soon to have a flower/fruit. Probably the plants will abort them. |

I used to take all buds and blossoms off of all transplants, and for the reason you mentioned above. That is, you want to keep the new transplants in the vegetative stage so they form a good root system as well as a healthy plant, so don't want energy going into the sexual stage of blossom formation, fruit set and maturation of fruits. That being said, there are those who have set out at least two plants of the same variety, taken all the blossoms off one, and not the other and some find it makes no difference and others find a significant difference, the plants with blossoms removed doing much better, Carolyn, who if she were still able to grow her own plants would definitely take off the blossoms, |

Thanks for the input here folks. I'll go ahead and pinch away. -Ray |
I am growing Cherokee Purple tomatoes out of 15 gallons containers. My question is similar. I planted them two weeks ago and they have doubled in size (both stalk thinkness and height) almost since transplant. (approx 14") Today, I see signs of flowers on two plants and wonder if I should pinch them off to allow the tomato plant to grow taller. I have 6' cages around them. I planted with organic tomato fertilizer spikes. After a month and a half, I plan to start using fish emulsion every couple weeks. Because of the fact that I am going to be fertilizing, should I not worry about pinching flowers because of the fact that there will be enough nutrient in the soil to support foliage and fruit growth? Sorry if this question went in circles before I got to the point. Thank you all!!! |
Hi there, I'm no expert, but after two weeks, I would leave the flower buds on. When planting initially, they should be removed, but after two weeks, I would leave them on. However, I leave that opinion to those who know better, in which case I would definitely listen to their advice! |
Thanks, Sharonie. I ended up leaving them on. I have so many baby tomatoes now. |
Just wondering how do you plan on harvesting the tomatoes through the 2x4" mesh? |
I have several cages made with 2x4 welded wire mesh. You just take some wire cutters and cut several random, scattered 4x4 or 4x6" holes in the cage. Works fine. Dave |

This year i have two each of 8 varieties. I picked the flowers off half of them. so far there is no noticeable difference in plant growth (both are thriving) and a few of those original flowers set fruit and are sizing up nicely. Others seem to have aborted. Since it doesn't seem to have affected their initial growth I will probably leave the flowers on in coming years, but I may do the same thing next year as a second test. The varieties I planted are below. All had flowers or buds when I transplanted them on May 3rd. Cherry Roma (seemed to abort many of the early flowers, but there are a few tiny fruit). Those that I pinched the flowers off have no fruit but have lots of new flower/bud trusses (trusses?) so, even though the growth seems to be similar, perhaps they will set more fruit later in the season. But, I really haven't paid close attention to which ones have the most flowers. I suppose time will tell. -jon ps. i really appreciate all of the regular responders on this forum. I have learned so much. thanks. |

Cool shirt - postage not so much
The shirt is great!
Shipping was a bit expensive, but fair, and the international tracking worked like a charm.
The only real downside was that the shirt went on sale the week after i ordered it...
The sales price would have saved me a bundle in taxes and VAT.
But that's not really Dogfunk's fault, I guess.

Dear Mom: How do I know if there is a sexual offender in my neighborhood?
-- Concerned About The Neighborhood
Dear Concerned: Go to the Walla Walla County Sheriff's Web page, www.co.walla-walla.wa.us/Departments/SHE/SexOffenders.shtml, and click on Sex Offenders. This will direct you to our updated daily OffenderWatch program.
Our office is pleased to provide OffenderWatch for the citizens of Walla Walla County. OffenderWatch is the nation's leading registered sex offender management and community notification too,l with hundreds of agencies in dozens of states using it.
Walla Walla County's law enforcement uses OffenderWatch to manage and monitor the whereabouts, conduct and compliance status of the registered offenders in our area.
Our Web site is updated instantaneously throughout the day as offender addresses and other offender information is updated in our office. You may enter any address in the county and see real-time information on the publishable offenders within the specific radius of the address you enter.
Offenders move frequently, so instead of having to check the maps on a weekly basis, the best way to stay informed is to take advantage of our free e-mail alert system. You may confidentially register as many addresses in the county as you wish.
The system will continuously monitor the address and send you an e-mail alert if a new offender registers at an address within the specific radius of any address you've register.
There is no cost for this service and no limit to the number of addresses you can register. Your e-mail address and physical addresses are all confidential.
Only Level III and Level II Offenders are listed on our Web site. If you want to know about the Level I registered offenders, you must contact the Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office at 509-524-5400.
To give you a better understanding of the levels they are listed as follows:
Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, and law enforcement has no legal authority to direct where sex offenders may or may not live. Unless court ordered restrictions exist, an offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he or she chooses.
However, the Community Protection Act of 1990 requires that those convicted of sex offenses must register, with the primary legislative intent, "to assist law enforcement agencies' efforts to protect their communities" by providing relevant and necessary information.
Please keep in mind that not all sex offenders have committed crimes against children.
Tell your friends and neighbors and be sure to register with OffenderWatch your home, school, work, gym, day care, park, soccer field, parents or children's homes-any address of interest to you. Check out the sites tips section for more information.

Prepare to vanquish hordes of mighty foes in valiant battle in Altairworks' medieval high difficulty tactical role-playing game! The catch? You're playing as the slimes, which just begs the question, If you fight and win, but have to be a repulsive transparent creature made entirely of goo to do it... did you really win? Only if you're good enough! While you're menaced by swordsmen, archers, martial artists, riflemen, ninja and more all ready for battle, these guys will apparently just throw back their heads and obligingly swallow your gelatinous skeletal mass to enable you to take them over! And you'll need to do just that, as slimes aren't exactly known for their ability to take damage very well. Even then you're not out of the woods yet. Perhaps it's the slack-jawed look, the slow mechanical movement or the preternatural red glow to their eyes, but any unit you've taken over is instantly regarded as a threat to their former comrades who will proceed to dogpile them immediately and pummel them without remorse. Not only tactics but strategy are needed in spades if you're going to make it through Ambition of the Slimes, free for iOS and Android!

Part of the magic of video games is how they can make what is mundane and bland somehow joyously addictive. Surgery isn't what you'd call a laugh riot, nor is food service considered a thrill, yet somehow clever game designers can turn tedium into delight. Well here's a weird one for you: furniture assembly. Yes, that's right. Studio TheStorkBurntDown's new title, Home Improvisation (also playable on itch.io), manages to turn the dreaded task of building your cheap bit of IKEA nonsense into a gleefully daft puzzle game. Left click to select each piece of furniture, use the mouse wheel to adjust elevation, and right click to control its orientation to fit each peg into each hole. The game's exceptional Unity-based physics system can sometimes cause parts to scatter as they knock into each other, but rest assure, this is a game that's just as fun to fail as it is to succeed.
Those vile eggs are always coming up with some way to bunk up the place. Apparently in the first, second and third games your efforts weren't enough and now the population of dino eggs is at an all time high. Time for you to thin the crowd and save us all from the over population of eggs with faces, in Qiabo's new Disasters Will Strike: Ultimate Disaster. In each round it's up to you to crack those eggs using quakes, floods, plagues, bees, and sinkholes in this physics puzzler game. In each level you have a certain number of natural disasters that you can call down, such as earthquakes that can shake the screen and shatter glass, or wind that can blow round objects left or right, and you need to figure out how and where to use them in order to manipulate the structures on each level to bring these eggs their doom. Don't forget to make use of the environment, like large boulders and the very touchy 100%-natural bundles of explosive (Yep. Pretty sure those were normal back in the day.) So bring out your sadistic side and get egg-cited (Sorry. I'm l-egg-ally obligated to put in at least one egg pun. But that one was just for fun.) for this wee-bit-morbid adventure.
In Five-BN Games' hidden-object adventure Lost Lands: The Four Horsemen, after a boring shopping trip on your way home to make boring dinner for your boring kid, you suddenly find yourself whisked away from the parking garage to a strange world where you're told by a sexist hermit mage that, though he was praying for the "Chosen One" to come defeat the evil plaguing the land, you, despite being a "fragile female", are responsible for saving the world. Which seems like a lot to ask for someone wearing red pleather and shoulder pads, regardless of gender, but hey. What's this "great evil" you ask? Well, it might have something to do with the fiery destruction you glimpse being rained down on the very cottage you find yourself standing in front of, though that's a future that will only come to pass if you can't find a way to stop the flaming swordsman who caused it. With mermaids, halflings, portals through space and time, and much more, Lost Lands: The Four Horsemen is a satisfyingly epic and lavish fantasy adventure that's perfect for casual fans looking for a lot of magic.
ScriptWelder's Don't Escape was, as the title suggests, a sort of anti-escape game where you had to figure out a way to lock yourself in to a place as securely as possible, with puzzles to match, and its unique concept proved itself very popular indeed. In Don't Escape 2, it's two weeks after a zombie outbreak, and you and your friend Bill are holed up in an abandoned building... maybe just a little too late for Bill himself, who got bitten in your most recent escape. Still, you're not quite ready to abandon your friend, and you've got more pressing matters on hand... namely, the massive horde of zombies headed your way. You figure you've got until sunset to figure out how to lock this place up snug as a bug, and it's going to take more than just shoving some furniture in front of a door. To play, just click to interact when your cursor expands its crosshairs and turns yellow. Mousing over the top of the screen will drop your inventory down, and also show you the clock. Unlike the original game, you really are on a limited time schedule here. You have eight hours, and since you can travel to more than one place in the surrounding area, time is deducted whenever you travel away from the abandoned building. So explore areas thoroughly, combine items in your inventory, and, well, here's hoping you live to see another sunset!
Please note that this game deals with themes some may find upsetting. Please see my comment below the review if you need further details to make an informed decision about whether to play.
The first episode of Life is Strange, the new episodic action adventure from SquareEnix and DONTNOD Entertainment, starts off with a literal bang as our heroine, school student Max, wakes up on a dark and thunderous coast that's being ripped apart by a tornado that looks big enough to swallow the world. When she snaps to and finds herself in photography class moments later, she's more than a little rattled... she didn't fall asleep, after all, and that didn't feel like a dream, so maybe she's losing her mind? Or maybe she's just having trouble adjusting to prestigious private school Blackwell Academy, which hasn't turned out to be the glorious dream school she thought it would be... Max has never been comfortable around people, and the teasing of school snobs combined with her loads of homework and an unexpectedly sharp difficulty curve isn't making things any easier. Especially since Max grew up in the sleepy town of Arcadia Bay, and she's trying to work up the courage to speak to Chloe, the best friend she hasn't spoken to in the five years since she moved away. But there's something strange about Arcadia, like the missing girl everyone is talking about... and there's something strange happening with Max, too. She's just your average eighteen year old girl who discovers she has the ability to rewind time and change the past... something she can use to help people, but also, she thinks, make all the right decisions for her life. Guided by your choices, Life is Strange is a gorgeously rendered and acted tale about growing up, identity, power, and what you choose to do with it.
Also free for iOS and Android, Homeworld Arts' Pixel Staff is a very classic feeling action-based adventure where you control a wizard who senses something is amiss one dark night... maybe not that impressive a feat since the skeletons shambling around outside should be enough to clue anyone in, but hey, maybe we shouldn't backtalk the guy with a magic bolt shooting staff. Use the left and right [arrow] keys or [A] and [D] to move left and right, [Z] or [O] to fire, and [X] or [P] to jump. If that sounds pretty simple, it's because it is, though you'll have to deal with enemies, bosses, find heart pieces, and more. Pixel Staff looks great and perfectly captures the feeling of retro console games in style and play, but might prove too easy for most players. Just be warned that while if you die, you'll restart at the beginning of the room you died in, but there is no save feature, and closing the game or exiting to the menu means you'll have to start from the beginning. So pick up this one when you're looking for a nostalgic trip down classic gaming lane, and take your time doing it... there's no need to rush. A wizard is never late.

In Tesshi-e's Escape to Mr. Y's Office Room, the titular Mr. Y, who as you know is a fan of both escape games and the Detective Conan anime, has sent you a letter inviting you to check out his newly renovated office. Turns out just getting in is a puzzle in itself, but would you expect any less? To play, just click to interact, and make sure you check everywhere and anything since there's no changing cursor to nudge you along. Check items you're carrying with the About Item function, just in case they have secrets to reveal, or use them by highlighting them with a click, and then clicking on the main game window. True to Mr. Y's passions, this escape game requires some good old fashioned deductive reasoning, making paying attention to your surroundings a necessity. There are some seriously cunning puzzles hidden throughout this game, with an emphasis on using your brain over your inventory, though the latter will present its own challenge in several places. If the swanky soundtrack doesn't make you feel like a detective, the challenges you'll need to overcome in this top-notch escape game will!
Welcome to Metro City, where streets are busy with gangs, vigilantes, cleaning droids, police drones and one very busy hitman who is just itching to get out of the city. With everyone having twitchy trigger fingers and cops shooting first then asking questions, you can't blame the assassin-for-hire for wanting to get in and out as fast as they can. Flatearthgames' Metrocide is a high difficulty, bird's-eye view, stealth game where you take on jobs, find the mark, and put them out of their misery without getting spotted by drones and humans. A normal civilian will rat on you to the cops and that's all, but other civilians think they are some sort of hero and start shooting at you to paint the streets with your blood. They have good aim too, because one shot and you're dead. Being a roguelike game, death results in a new, penniless you. It's a rough life, but every hitman has got to work to get food on the table or in this case, papers to travel to get far, far away from such a mess.

Don't do drugs kids, unless you're taking part of a trial study sanctioned by a doctor. Just prepare for the consequences... the mind melting, reality bending consequences.

Burt is the name of the little jumper whose only goal in mind is to get back to the doctor who told him to come in if the pills he's testing start showing negative symptoms, like nausea. Burt has every symptom but nausea, and the only thing he can keep in focus is getting back to that little medical sign to see what can be done. He'll have to get through spikes and bottomless pits with only his jump ability, [Z], and using the floating arrows that give him a boost in the direction they point. Add on top of this the jittery, reality twisting symptoms and that feat becomes something only the bravest will take on in this free indie game.
It doesn't matter if it's Christmas when you play TomaTea's One Holiday Scene, because any day with a TomaTea escape game is worth celebrating! With a festive tree, candies, and a whole lot of Christmas cheer, this is one cozy little room, but all the decor holds a sneaky secret... puzzles and codes! When the tip of your cursor glows when you pass it over something, it means you can click to interact, and if you're told you "have no clue how to solve this", it means whatever puzzle you're looking at has a clue you haven't yet seen. True to its title, One Holiday Scene is a little smaller in scope than you may be used to seeing from the developer, but no less smart and fun for any escape fan. Relax, put your feet up, and enjoy this seasonal offering no matter what time of year it is... just don't forget the batteries!
Long considered to be one of the greatest classic point-and-click adventure games ever created, LucasArts' Grim Fandango is the sort of funny, smart, wickedly creative game players deserve, though considering it was released in 1998 and often doesn't play nice with new systems, it's both difficult to track down and harder to play. Well, no longer! Thanks to Double Fine, Grim Fandango Remastered has arrived, with a new coat of polish and a lot more compatibility, allowing new players to experience the iconic hit for the first time, and old fans to revisit without the hassle. The game follows Manny Calavera, who's been stuck in his (literal) dead-end job trying to upsell travel packages to those who have just died and want to cross all the way over for quite some time. His boss wants him to sell more luxury packages, but it's not easy when he's constantly being outdone by his slimy coworker Domino Hurley. Manny used to be on top, but now he can barely keep himself from getting fired when he's stuck with crummy clients, and he can't even remember what sin he committed in life to find himself stuck in this afterlife holding zone. He thinks he's finally found his salvation when he winds up with a crack at a soul who should be bound for the greenest pastures possible, but something is rotten in the Land of the Dead. Will Manny ever get his final reward? Or has he stumbled across a mystery that could prove more dangerous than he ever imagined?
Also free for iOS and Android, Pine Games' Hacker's Escape is, as the title would imply, an escape game that looks like it's set within what one of those primetime cop dramas think a hacker's room actually looks like. You know. Where they hack your firewalls and plugin your interwebs. But then, that campy aesthetic is sort of the point, as you see from the various homages to classic technothrillers around the room. To play, just click to interact. The text that appears at the top of the screen will tell you what you're looking at when it's interactive, and also show you if you're about to change orientation by moving around the room. The, ahem, fist you start out with in your inventory at the bottom of the screen is actually "force", so you can use it on objects that require a little bit of exertion to move or use. To combine items, or use one item on another, click them both in your inventory one at a time. Not only are codes hidden around the room, but you'll find a lot of electronic equipment you'll need to put to good use if you ever want to find your way out. So get cracking, and get hacking!
Here in the Weekday Escape studios, things tend to be rather heavily biased toward free online escape games. Which is great: What's not to love about being able to turn on your computer, open your browser, and plug into fun puzzles all centered on the concept of escaping from your confinement? There's not only enjoyment in the actual mental stimulation, there is immense satisfaction in the symbolic escape from your surroundings. So this week, besides living up to expectations and presenting three typical escape games—brought to you by Hottategoya, No1Game and FunkyLand—I thought I'd break out of the mold and suggest a few things different. After all, if it's been a while since you've dug through the JayIsGames archives, perhaps this week's featured trio will be the inspiration to get you started...
[Please note that due to the fact that I did not receive my review copy until last night, and technical issues related to the game, this review should be considered ongoing and may be updated as I continue to play.]
Techland's Dying Light combines everyone's two favourite things... zombies and intense physical activity. At the start of the game, you're air-dropped into what is essentially a war zone... an entire city under lockdown for months after the spread of a plague that turns people into the mindless undead. You're there trying to retrieve a stolen file and tracking down a rogue agent, but the survivors who save you from turning into zombie chow don't know that. To them you're just Crane, a guy trying to get by and willing to pull his weight by helping them survive. They've even set you up with some Antizin following an unfortunate bite... the only thing capable of staving off the zombification process. It's safe to say they might not be so friendly and sympathetic if they knew why you were really there... especially since their doctor is working on a cure that your superiors are very interested in. By day you'll spend your time helping the other people living in The Tower, while also trying to accomplish your own objectives, but when night falls, well, something else joins the hordes roaming the city streets, and not even the rooftops will keep you safe. Dying Light combines rooftop, wall-climbing, parkour action in this thriller, along with crafting, skill trees, and sidequests galore, not to mention a "be the zombie" multiplayer mode, for a surprisingly immersive and definitely gorgeous adventure in a sprawling, dangerous city, but clunky combat and (as of this writing) serious performance issues are as ugly as the zombies themselves at times.
Good fortune (and fun!) will come to those who dig through the archives.

By 1971, he had been named the Book Review's editor in chief — "through a series of accidents, deaths," he says. He turned it into a provocative and combative section that many still think represents a high point in the publication's history. On the cover, he put reviews of daring novels by relative unknowns (like End Zone, Don DeLillo's second novel), and he published thoughtful reviews of the literature of debate surrounding the Vietnam War. After he stepped down, in 1975, he began reviewing books as a daily critic for the Times, and, later, movies and TV for other venues, including CBS Sunday Morning and New York. Although he has written widely on popular culture, he considers literary criticism to be his true vocation. "I love pop culture. I reviewed TV for decades and got a kick out of it, but nobody is going to tell me that there are deeper abiding complexities and discomfitures than those I find in great literature," he says. And it is in his literary criticism that the outlines of a powerful life of the mind truly take shape.
Leonard has published six essay collections — This Pen for Hire (1973), Private Lives in the Imperial City (1979), The Last Innocent White Man in America (1993), Smoke and Mirrors (1997), When the Kissing Had to Stop (1999), and Lonesome Rangers (2002) — and to read any one of them is to be struck by how the pieces speak to one another. A Leonard collection is not a miscellany. From the start, his work has expressed powerful ambivalences about inherited systems of thinking. His main strength, as a reader of fiction and literary nonfiction, is the way he complicates what are often framed as zero-sum debates. Among his best writing in recent years is an essay on Primo Levi that scrutinizes the assumption of some critics — the novelist Cynthia Ozick among them — that Levi was too forgiving of the Holocaust, too willing to put his hatred and damage aside. For those critics, Levi's final book, The Drowned and the Saved, in which he writes about the horrors of camp prisoners' collaborating with Nazis to avoid being exterminated, marks an ascent to form because it finally unleashes Levi's rage and hate. But for Leonard, it is a further tragedy, the manifestation of the encroaching unbalance that led Levi, finally, to kill himself. The earlier Levi, he suggests, "argues that perhaps something of the best of us, skeptical, ironic and aware, could outlive the worst." Why wish for those who bring us news from horror to have no sense of forgiveness?
If the primary mode of literary criticism is exposition, Leonard's method tends to be immersion. His reviews rarely treat a single book by the author at hand; rather, he gathers together a mass of textual and biographical materials. In his essays on Saul Bellow, Bruce Chatwin, Ralph Ellison, Bernard Malamud, Bob Dylan, and, more recently, Jonathan Lethem, Rick Moody, and Jonathan Franzen, he peers closely at "those masks, sacred and profane, that the artist wears while digging up the buried bodies and playing with the bones." Instead of merely analyzing a book, he brings to life an entire literary sensibility, warts and all, animating each writer's larger outlook.
Leonard himself has a novelist's knack for memorable characterization. He has called Edmund Wilson "an alcoholic minotaur," and has described Joan Didion as a journalist writing "gnomic haikus" while "wearing a bikini and a migraine to every convulsion of the post-war culture." Leonard is also a connoisseur of the aphorism. From a 1981 essay on literary status: "A curmudgeon is different from a snob. A snob can be disdainful in only one direction; a curmudgeon spreads his contumely around." From a 1977 essay on literature about businessmen: "Kafka looked in the mirror and saw the modern corporation." At times, he is diverted by insider punning and overly dense allusions — too much so, for example, in the opening of "Knee-Deep in the Alien Corn," an essay from When the Kissing Had to Stop, in which he writes, "Forget Seinfeld — a cheese doodle of urban fecklessness in which, to every penis joke, the white bread slackers wore a prophylactic smirk." Still, his wordplay is often illuminating and enlivening. It reminds us there are as many ways of talking about literature as there are of writing a short story.

More reviews by dempsterstreet
On and On Bronze: I love this beautiful foolproof shadow!
The colour is fantastic: a gorgeous toasted shimmery cinnamony, coppery, biscuity bronze...
I heard about it on Vivianna does Makeup, she has cool-toned fair skin and dark hair (and very dark eyebrows) too, even though she's about a hundred years younger than me :-)
Some other reviewers have mentioned it looks greyish on their lids, I don't find that, and am actually happy it doesn't look as pinkish as it does on my hand. On me it's sort of taupeish, in a coppery way, and a tiny bit gothic.
It's very flattering and unspeakably easy to smudge on. With fingers. Even for people who have almost no experience with cream eye shadows.
Staying power is very good too, especially when primed properly!
The metallic effect stays put and looks amazing with oodles of soot-black mascara.
Without a primer I find it a bit thin but it can easily be layered with other neutral shades.
Now, if only they made a pewter grey....
Definitely worth 5 lippies: Cheap, long-wearing, beautiful and easily available.

These are 39-year-old eyes I'm workin' with, so y'know, shimmers are scary to me. I cannot remember what caused me to so brazenly purchase this baby, knowing in advance of its shimmery-ness, but I want to thank several-months-ago-me for doing so.
This is less bronze than it is taupe on me... a cool-ish taupe, even... the kind of nice, cool-ish, dimensional taupe that is magical on warm brown eyes like mine. Love this stuff.
I can smudge and smoke away at a black kohl liner with this stuff, and the effect is just gorgeous.
But, more than that, it has become my default look, just about every day, to just fill my lid from lashline into crease with this, just a bit of ivory highlight on the browbone, and lots of black-black mascara on top lashes only. Very pretty.
No wearing away, no flaking, no creasing, hasn't dried out in the pot yet. Watch it be discontinued by the time I need a new one...

love it! this is my go to eyeshadow, a quick swipe if this and I'm out the door. lasts a long time too and doesn't smudge or fade.
I love it! Perfect bronzy color, love how it looks on my eyes. Easy to work with, has a good staying power. This is my first color tattoo, but I'm definitely buying more of these!
Just too bad that the range doesn't have a matt color...
The bad to bronze wast the first color tattoo that I bought and I absolutely love it! The color was amazing and super pigmented and it's consistency is nice. The texture is creamy but not to creamy. And I fell in love with the packaging! I really want to buy it in different shades!!

Such an amazing drug store find. It's really an amazing item, epecially for the price. It's a nice gold/bronze without the glitter. It can look a bit silvery/purple sometimes (not sure why). This product lasts all day, which is super exciting. It dosn't smudge. After purchasing the bad on bronze colour I went out and bought pomegranate punk. But that colour dosn't really last as long :/ It smudges a lot easiler and takes longer for it to set.

I love most of Maybelline's color tattoos, this one just didn't work for me. It is a beautiful color when you swatch it, very bronze and metallic. But on my light skin tone, it just looked very dark. It isn't a color I would be able to throw on my eyelid and run out the door. Even when I use a very small amount, it just makes my eyes look dark. I think this would work very well for you if you have medium to dark skin tones. I am very sad that it didn't work for me because it is such a beautiful color with such amazing staying power. I will continue to try to find a way to make it work so that I can use up what I have, but I don't plan to repurchase any time soon
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
my favorite. very easy and multidimensional for a cream shadow. great for ultra lazy days since my eyes are hooded and you don't see much lid anyway. please apply with a flat packing brush for best results. doesn't crease. look fab with a matte outer v too.

After reading many reviews this was the color I was most excited for. Ironically it ended up looking horrendous on me. I've tried giving it multiple chances but I always immediately take it off. The color is just too damn dark yet metallic. No matter how much stuff I put under(primer) or over (eyeshadow, using this as a base) or the amount of product I apply (teeny tiny bit) it never looks blended. I bet I could make it work if it wasn't shiny as hell like foiled eyeshadow. I do like the color tattoos but this one is not for me.
Edit: these color tattoos dry up so fast.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have 2 other Color Tattoos (and aim to expand my collection) , but Bad To The Bronze is my favourite so far. I respect Maybelline for the fact that the line has such a wide array of colours which are all well-thought-out; vibrant and unique brights, and neutrals with depth and wearability. I am a neutral-eye addict, and this shadow as an allover wash is easily my favourite look to wear and to apply. The colour is gorgeous. I noticed another reviewer mention that it came out less warm when worn as opposed to the swatch, and it is true that applied in thicker layers it tends to come off more grey or taupe and opposed to bronze. (I would still say the title is accurate however, as we normally refer to 'bronze' and more like what copper actually is- this product is a bronze colour if you ask me). When worn as a sheer wash, the warmer tones come to the surface. I love cream eyeshadows and finding one such as this which does not crease or even budge for well over 12 hours is a dream come true. I also noticed that many reviews complain of the product drying out, and mine definitely has done that as well. The general suggestion is some Fix+, but I personally never plan on owning Fix+, so I'm wondering if there's a less painfully priced solution for creaming my Tattoo up again? For now, warming it with my finger prior to application works well.

My pattern for the QAT Quilt has a correction. In the cutting instructions you are asked to cut 2" squares. That should read 2 1/2" squares. They finish at 2". Also, in the directions, in Step 2, you are making Quarter Square Triangles and I neglected to identify. Good luck. Any questions, call us.

I realize this is two weeks away, but is anybody going to the game?
I think NCH finally learns how to play team ball and pulls off the upset.
Front page of the Enquirer, and its only five days away.
No. 1 vs. No. 2
A super matchup in prep basketball; NCH awaits top-ranked Oak Hill from Virginia
It could be the biggest prep basketball game in Cincinnati history.
The top two teams in the country will meet when junior superstar O.J. Mayo and North College Hill face six-time national champion Oak Hill Academy (Va.) at U.S. Bank Arena at 8 p.m. Saturday. Oak Hill is rated No. 1 and NCH No. 2 in the USA Today national ratings.
It is not the first time USA Today's No.1 and No. 2 teams have met, but it is the first time it has happened on Cincinnati turf. It's expected to be the largest prep basketball crowd in city history. The 16,500-seat U.S. Bank Arena is sold out.
"This game is enormous," said Chris Lawlor, who has compiled USA Today's national poll for six years. "It will go a long way toward deciding our national champion, and with 16,000 people in there it'll be rocking. It'll be crazy."
The New Jersey-based Lawlor is among more than 100 media representatives expected at the game.
Arena officials have heard from Sports Illustrated, ESPN and others about covering the event.
Numerous college coaches also are expected, said arena spokesman Sean Lynn.
Saturday's crowd will see probably the most talent ever assembled for one prep game in Cincinnati.
The rosters include NCH juniors Mayo, Bill Walker and Keenan Ellis, all ranked among the top 50 players nationally in their class. Mayo is No. 1 and Walker in the top five of most scouts' ratings for the class of 2007.
NCH, 20-0, has won 41 straight games, including the Division III state title last season. The Trojans began the year ranked No. 6 by USA Today. By early January, they rose to No. 2 after beating then-No. 16 Canton McKinley.
Dave Krider, who began the USA Today poll in 1982 and now rates teams for Sports Illustrated, said his records do not show a Cincinnati team ever rated this high in the national boys' basketball polls. (Krider currently has Ohio State recruit Greg Oden's Lawrence North, Ind., team as No. 1 nationally, with Oak Hill at No. 2 and NCH at No. 3 in his SI.com poll.)
Oak Hill, 35-0 this year with a 51-game winning streak, features seven players signed by or committed to Division I colleges. The school has won six USA Today mythical national titles, including the last two.
Senior point guard Tywon Lawson is rated in the top 10 of his class nationally by recruiters, and has signed with North Carolina. Junior forward Michael Beasley and junior guard Nolan Smith - son of the late former NBA player Derek Smith - both are rated in the top 10 nationally in the class of 2007.
Dave Telep, national recruiting director for Scout.com, said fans will be seeing numerous future National Basketball Association players, if not future NBA All-Stars.
"Even if this was a college basketball game, that would be a ton of talent on one floor," Telep said. "It's pretty rare to have that many elite-level players in one game."
Mayo is The Man in this one, Telep said. Mayo's national reputation as the next LeBron James is well-documented, as Mayo gained national coverage from CNN, ESPN and Sports Illustrated before he even reached high school.
"Mayo is the headliner, the guy who puts the fannies in the seats," Telep said. "He's the best player in most games he plays, but Tywon Lawson is awfully tough too."
NCH is a small Division III school in enrollment, but is the best team in Ohio in any class. The Trojans' wins this season include a 69-67 decision over reigning Division I state champion Canton McKinley and an 87-49 rout of 2005 Division I runner-up St. Xavier.
Oak Hill beat Canton McKinley 51-50 earlier this season, but did it without Lawson, who missed the game for what was termed a disciplinary measure.
For NCH, Oak Hill will be the last game of the regular season. It also is probably the last big 2005-06 challenge for the Trojans, who are expected to blow through the Ohio Division III postseason and hoist another state trophy come March.
"One of our goals is to be national champs, and we have to beat Oak Hill to do that," NCH coach Jamie Mahaffey said. "It's a big game for our team, and the city is making it a big game too. It's one our kids really wanted to play."
The game was arranged with the schools through Philadelphia promoter Jeremy Treatman, whose Scholastic Play By Play Network is in its seventh year of such events. Treatman this year is doing six such events in Philadelphia and seven elsewhere, including an event in Columbus that included the Canton McKinley-NCH game in January.
The buzz for NCH-Oak Hill started last spring when it was revealed the schools were talking about playing. The hype has only increased with both teams unbeaten.
Other Cincinnati schools have found themselves swept up in Mayo mania, and some coaches like the attention it brings to town.
Lakota West coach Mike Mueller, whose team is ranked No. 1 in the Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, said NCH-Oak Hill is a rare treat for local fans.
"It's No. 1 vs. No. 2 in America, and the eyes of high school, college and probably even the NBA will be on Cincinnati for this game," Mueller said. "That's good for all of us. We think we have a very good product here in Cincinnati year in and year out, and this is the opportunity to show the rest of the nation."
The game is expected to draw the largest crowd ever for a high school basketball game in Cincinnati.
John Perin, sports director of WOBO-FM radio in Batavia and a longtime Cincinnati basketball historian, has kept a log of large area crowds that includes the past six decades.
The largest local prep crowd is believed to be 13,649 for a regular season game on Jan. 17, 1958, at Cincinnati Gardens, featuring future NBA star Jerry Lucas' Middletown team against Hamilton in a regular-season game.
More recently, a standing-room-only crowd announced at 10,560 jammed into Xavier's Cintas Center for an NCH-Taft game in January. That is the biggest local crowd in recent city history.
Nationally, a few other 1-versus-2 USA Today meetings included DeMatha (Md.) and Mater Dei (Calif.) in the early 1980s and Tolentine (N.Y.) vs. St. Anthony (N.J.) in the late 1980s. There hasn't been such a 1-2 boys' meeting in recent years, Lawlor said.
Oak Hill Academy is located in tiny Mouth of Wilson, Va., and is a small Baptist-affiliated, coed boarding school (grades 8-12). The school has just 130 students but, for the past two decades, it has become known for attracting some of the best prep basketball talent in America.
The Oak Hill coach is Steve Smith, who is 638-38 in 21 seasons. His gallery of stars has included future NBA players such as Carmelo Anthony, Ron Mercer and Jerry Stackhouse.
Oak Hill plays a national schedule and does not compete in a state tournament and therefore plays nearly 40 games a year.
Smith is used to playing in big games, and said he hasn't had much time to think about NCH. At this writing, Oak Hill still had a few games to play before meeting the Trojans.
"I'm sure it'll be a challenge for us in Cincinnati," Smith said. "I know they have two really good players in Mayo and Walker, and also the center Ellis is supposed to be a great young player."
Oak Hill will bring about 50 or 60 fans to the game, Smith said.
"You probably won't hear them, in a crowd that big," Smith said. "We're used to traveling a lot, and playing in front of big crowds doesn't affect us much."
The game will not be televised, but will be carried locally on Hamilton radio station WMOH-AM 1450.Oak Hill Academy and North College Hill are rated 1-2 nationally by USA Today, with each featuring some of America's elite prep basketball stars.
A look at some of the top players:
OAK HILL ACADEMY Tywon Lawson, 6-0 Sr. point guard: Rated No. 5 senior by Hoop Scoop and No. 8 by Scout.com. Averages 24.1 points. (Signed with North Carolina.)

I don't know why I do this.
88-74, Oak Hill wins. WCPO is providing a gamecast after it is encoded. According to JJHuddles, Walker had a dunk that brought the broadcasters out of their seats.
Mayo had 43, Walker had 24(including 6 dunks). So that means only seven points came from the remaining players.
What about Dunbar/Taft?

WVRED, the dunk they are talking about is one that they didnt show on Fox, it was an inbound play and the inbounder, who I think was Mayo tossed it in and Walker grabbed it one handed, his head was even with the basket and he threw it down with some major authority. That game made me think two things.
1. OJ Mayo is better than advertised.
2. Bill Walker is the best dunker to play in Cincinnati since Melvin Levitt.
Oh, Dunbar won. They seemed to have Taft in the size department big time.
