Spike TV Celebrates 'MXC, The Original, Not The Ripoff, Weekend' July 5-6
NEW YORK, July 3 /PRNewswire/ — Spike TV realizes that in the summer, some broadcast networks might be "lost" like a "desperate housewife" or an "ugly betty" in search of "bachelor" so they turn to imitating shows on cable. In honor of this, Spike TV celebrates "MXC, The Original, Not The Ripoff, Weekend" on July 5-6 as an homage to the network's original series based on a wacky Japanese game show which debuted five years ago.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060322/NYW096LOGO )
Using the actual footage from one of the most popular primetime Japanese reality game shows, "Takeshi's Castle," Spike TV's "MXC" is re-written to create an entirely new comedic storyline. The series is not dubbed and there is not a single trace of literal translation from the original show. "MXC" has become so popular that many of the games featured in the Spike series such as Mudslingers and Log Jam can be seen in surprisingly similar forms on other networks.
"MXC, The Original, Not The Ripoff, Weekend" airs on Spike TV on Saturday, July 5 (9:00am – 11:30am ET/PT) and Sunday, July 6 (3:30pm – 5pm ET/PT).
Paul Abeyta, Peter Kaikko, and Larry Strawther of R.C. Entertainment serve as Executive Producers and writers for "MXC." The show is written and voiced by seasoned actors Victor Wilson, Christopher Darga, Mary Scheer and John Cervenka.
Spike TV is available in 96.1 million homes and is a division of MTV Networks. A unit of Viacom , MTV Networks is one of the world's leading creators of programming and content across all media platforms.

We are a family of nine, with seven young kids age 15 and younger.
Ryan or Barbara purchased this house in 2004
While on a weekend ski trip over President's Day 2004, we fell in love with Massanutten Resort and purchased our first second home, The Retreat at Massanutten. We have now vacationed at Massanutten for more than ten years and used the resort for many years to get away from the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, for winter skiing and summer outdoor fun. We now live in Idaho but return often to The Retreat and Massanutten as one of our favorite vacation destinations. No other resort near Washington, DC offers as wide a variety of activities as Massanutten, and at such a great value for the family to get away together. Since 2004, we have added three additional Massanutten homes to our inventory and rented to more than 700 families. We hope you will enjoy The Retreat at Massanutten as much as our family and our guests have.
During the summer, we purchase the 'pool pass' that allows our guests to use the private outdoor pool. This is much more private and avoids the hustle and bustle of the crowded indoor pools.
We had a wonderful stay at your Masanutten/Shennandoah property. All of us enjoyed the couple nights. We will come back again.
We really enjoyed staying at the Retreat for a weekend in October. 12 adults had plenty of room to spread out. Guys loved the game room. Nicely stocked kitchen and very clean overall. Owner was very helpful in suggesting local restaurants/sites as well and very responsive in answering any questions. A little wear and tear around the edges, but overall great place and would stay here again.
I along with 17 other young women stayed at this rental for a retreat. This rental was so perfect for the occasion. There is SO much space & it's easy to be very comfortable in there. One of the great things at the rental was the HUGE TV in the living room. It was perfect for watching group films. There was just enough sitting space for everyone. In addition, the kitchen is fully stocked. Coming in, we weren't sure what the kitchen would have so we had brought our own pots/pans/spoons/griddles... We actually did not even need to bring all of that. The kitchen had all the appliances needed. Departure was easy- just follow the contract and do a few things like start a load of laundry and take the garbage out. The on site manager was great. We needed something fixed and he came right over, minded his business, & fixed what we needed. I would definitely recommend this property to future vacationers.
We stayed in the home this past weekend and had a wonderful time. We love October in the Shenandoah Valley and this weekend was particularly good weather and a great time to be in the mountains. The home itself is plenty large and had more than enough room for our entire family. The home is also well stocked with lots of little things, like spices in the kitchen and the like. That was nice to be able to rely on some of the items that were already in the home, even though we did bring plenty of our own items for cooking. And the owner stopped by to check on our rental. He was great to work with. We had no problems and a great weekend. Can't ask for more.
We had 4 families here this weekend. The house has a good amount space, large kitchen and dining area. However, it was dirty and just generally in need of updates. The floors were filthy, many light bulbs out or missing, the carpets in desperate need of cleaning (or replacing) and I can't tell you how many spider webs and bugs we cleaned up in the lower level. We did call Friday evening and a nice woman came out at 11 on Saturday to sweep the floors and did what she could. Massnutten in general is a great place to visit and we've stayed in a number of other very nice houses. This one just needs a good dose of attention. We had a good time with a great group of friends, but will definitely look elsewhere when planning our next trip!
Great house with plenty of activities to keep you busy, both at the resort and the home. Overlooks the ski slopes so should be a great home during ski season (maybe we will get a chance to come back), towels and linens provided, fully equipped kitchen, media options are great with two large screen TVs, great atmosphere. Owner was accommodating and manager was available onsite to help with checkin and the like. Good trip with no surprises.
We have stayed at other homes at Massanutten and enjoyed this home and vacation better than any other. It had plenty of room and was kept up well. The manager was great to work with, even on what we know was a busy holiday weekend for rentals. The HDTV large screen TVs, both upstairs and downstairs provided plenty of entertainment for the entire family in the evenings. It was nice to be able to have the adults upstairs and even be able to shut the door to the kids downstairs, but be able to check on them easily. The kids probably enjoyed that just as much. We all had a great time. The home is located within easy access to all of the outdoor activities at the resort and in the Shenandoah Valley as well. This home is right in the heart of it all and we would definitely look to return again.
2 hours from Washington, DC; 15 miles from Harrisonburg, VA
Other Activities: shopping, kayaking, snowboarding, snow mobiling, wildlife viewing, rock climbing, horseshoes, shuffleboard, onsite move theater and 100 other activities offered through the resort
Golf: There are two separate golf courses at Massanutten. The Retreat at Massanutten overlooks Mountain Greens, the 18-hole Championship Golf Course. There is also an 18-hole Executive Course. And there are numerous local golf courses to keep you busy for any vacation. If you are so inclined, you can even golf and ski during the same day.
Ski: Massanutten Four Seasons Ski Resort offers the greatest number of ski slopes for any ski resort in Virginia. There are five ski lifts aned 14 ski runs for skiers of all abilities. Best of all, the kids will never get lost and you may have a fun ski vacation for the entire family. There is also a spacious snow tubing park closeby so no one in the family will lack for winter activities

Historical Traveler Reviews Grand Royal Lagoon Cancun
Basic but what I expected
Basically you should know that it is by no means grand and no means royal but at the end of the day when you're paying so little to stay in cancun you should also be prepared to expect a basic place. staff ranged from being annoyingly rude to pleasant. All spoke good english other than the really rude breakffast man but to be honest you're not likely to be up early enough to have breakfast in cancun!
Clean rooms with 24 hour hot showers and tvs that worked. No signs of ants/cockroaches - believe me i checked as i am very picky!
Location not bad - everywhere in cancun is easily reachable by a 6 peso bus. the fact that it lies all of 50m off the strip should not be a deterrant
Here comes the best bit - you can buy a wristband for $20 that entitles you to ONE DAYS all you can eat and all you can drink. The staff are so slow and lazy however that they never check your wristband so it is essentially valid for the entirity of your stay! Genius.
I would stay here again as it was simple and basic but exactly what i expected for my money.
Small, quiet and great price!
This small hotel may be lacking in amenities compared to all the huge resorts located around it but it's perfect for a night or two while you're familiarizing yourself with the area or if you're going to be gone all day on tours.
I go to the Riviera Maya every year and have been to Cancun 3 times. The first time I stayed at the Radisson Hacienda in downtown Cancun for $60/night. The last two visits I've stayed at the Grand Royal Lagoon for the first few nights of my trip and would recommend it for those that want to be close to the action in the hotel zone but don't want to pay $100's per night.
- Price ($45/night!!!)
- Great location (walking distance to the beach and clubs) and it's located on the lagoon (great for sunset!).
- On site parking
- On site cafe (inexpensive food and beer)
- Free safe deposit box use
- Great landscaping
- Not on the beach
- Rooms need to be updated (little dated and hard beds)
I travel a lot and have stayed in hotels that are much worse for a lot more money! A place like this in the US would command at least double the price. It's on the water with a pool, cafe, secure rooms, a/c, safe deposit box & parking all for less then you would pay at a motel 8. Can't be beat for the budget conscious traveler.
Not bad for the price
The Grand Royal Lagoon is like others have said not so grand. It is however very nice considering the price, & the location. The people that worked there were all very nice & helpful. The grounds were manicured well & kept up. The rooms were clean & yes maybe a few bugs but hey this is Mexico, what did you expect. If you want a sterile indoors & out you must stay & one of the overpriced hotels in the area & pay big bucks. The GRL is very comfortable for the price, besides who stays in thier room when on vacation. We loved our stay at the Grand Royal Lagoon!
Not Bad At All
The Grand Royal Lagoon is a 3 star hotel and it was truthful to that. We stayed there 07/15/04-07/22/04. First of all who goes on vacation to Cancun to stay cooped up in a room. The air conditioner worked but was lacking especially for the humidity there is in july. The pool was small but nice. They are located on the Lagoon so pretty much you get what you pay for. It is a little bit of a further walk to the hotel zone but it is very inexpensive to stay here so it just depends on what you want to do. (Girls don't wear uncomfortable shoes I did and totally regretted it on a walk back from Coco Bongo's, blisters the whole trip!) The staff is very helpful and we were into the front desk like everyday asking questions and they always were very helpful and truthful in their answers. The rooms are small but good for just a place to crash. All in all not to bad, they do no false advertising, the Grand Royal Lagoon stays truthful to their advertisements.
Great for the price
We stayed at The Grande Royal Lagoon the night that our flight arrived in Cancun. Why pay $200 canadian somewhere else when you don't get your full day in. We also stayed when we had a whole day booked for a tour and when we wanted to walk to the bars in the cancun hotel zone. WE paid $27 american for our room/night in September, 2004. Our room was well air conditioned, clean, no bugs and had a view of the lagoon. I would recomend anyone to stay at the Grande Royal Lagoon when you're not going to get your moneys worth at an all inclusive resort because you'll be away from the expensive hotel exploring and missing out on the food that you'd be paying for while doing a full day tour at the jungle or shopping or if you get to cancun on a late flight or leaving cancun the next morning. Great for a budget holiday. The cheapest way to go would be a cheap air only ticket that could range from $300-500 CAN including taxes and then in low season its $27 US/night for 2 weeks is $430 with 14% tax . Plus your paying per room not per person. That's only$1150-1550 Can for 2 people for 2 weeks including air and taxes in Cancun where you can eat wherever you want and go to different beaches and bars for fun! We are definately going back!
We knew before hand that the hotel wasnt going to be 'grand' or 'royal', but for only US$28 a night when we got there we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were VERY helpful and friendly. Our room was big, clean and had good views of the pool & the lagoon. There werent that many people staying there, so the place had a real nice calm, relaxing feeling all week. Everyone we met at breakfast seemed to be enjoying their stay there. On one afternoon while we were by the pool, they brought out some goal posts and a ball for us to play water polo with. I would too recomend going over to the Presidente Hotel for the day. Their beach and pool area is beautiful. Id have to say that if we ever whent back to cancun on a budget we would stay there again.
Absolutely Terrible
We stayed in the Grand Royal Lagoon for three nights and it was awful. There is nothing "grand" or "royal" about the Grand Royal Lagoon. They were not upfront and honest about their location. They are not located in the hotel zone, they are located OFF the hotel zone. They should have been more honest about their location. By the time we found it we were highly annoyed. Also, no one had ever heard of the Grand Royal Lagoon and had no idea how to give us directions to get there once we found out that their directions were false. The phone number was also not correct and we had to call the operator in order to get a valid phone number. When we arrived, we had tons of ants in our room and we were told we could move to another room. We were moved to a smaller room that had fewer ants. However, the air conditioning did not work! We were told we could stay in that room without any air movement when the temperature was 96 degrees outside! They said they had no other rooms available yet it was low season and only three other people were staying at the hotel. Three times they changed their mind about which room we were to stay in and we had to move our luggage up and down the stairs three times. The staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. The ONLY helpful staff member was the man who fixed the air conditioner with some WD-40, a screwdriver, and by hitting it. When we checked out we were asked to return the TV remote which we never received in the first place. Then they charged me twice on my credit card bill not to mention that they charged me three times for a remote that I never received! The lagoon had an awful smell that rolled into the hotel at night. The breakfast they offer is no breakfast at all. The area is dreadful and it looks very menacing.
Good deal for the money, dont read to much into the name of the place
Like I said don't read to much into the name of the place, its not "grand" or "royal" but it is a nice peaceful little place. I knew before going that it wasn't on the beach so I wasn't disappointed , the public beach access behind the mall filled the void. The room was clean and the lock box was nice to have. The beds weren't the softest in the world but they did the job. I didn't get up early enough for breakfast so I didn't eat at the restaurant there. The hotel is nicely located for being "off the strip" (look at its position on a map and you'll see what i mean). There are two restaurants, a laundry mat, bus stop, internet cafe and mini grocery store in a strip mall not 5 minutes walk from the hotel. So I'd say its a good deal for the money, my only complaint is that during the 5 days I did see two cockroaches in the kitchenette area, i think they came up through the sink i don't know I was in a room on the first floor so I don't know if that had anything to do with it but other than that everything was fine.
Clean and good for the price, nice location.
we had originally booked a room at the marina club. but after reading a lot of bad reviews had it switched to this place , through cancun.com which was very helpfull. the place is really a 3 star. nothing fancy.
our room was a kitchen'ete it was alright only one burner worked, and it was not a grounded electrical circut. wear your shoes!!!
The fridge was helpfull. The bed was hard as a rock, but no bugs. the maid was great, although we did tip her two dollars a day, (half the dayly average wage down here) don't forget to tip!!!!
this hotel is very nicely situated. there's a market right around the corner. plenty of restauraunts and shopping all with in a ten minute walk. there "beach club" was not that great, your choice was in front of the fat tuesday bar. dirty no place to sit and crowded. Or in front of the hard rock mall. which has a bunch of hard rocks in front of it. we found a hotel right across the street. a 5 star. Presidenty Intercontinetal and for ten dollars a day you could use their facilities. pool,towels, lounge chairs, and a incrediably nice clean calm beach. it was great and I highly recomend it for anyone who just wants to relax and take in some sun and swimming.
my only complant on this hotel is the ladies down in the bar/ restaurant are bitchy. they spoke no english until we showed up 15 minutes till breakfast was over. and they claimed it was to late. after that we opted to eat other places. there is a nice restaurant next door at another hotel that looked the like the same price and nicer. but for the money, $55 a night it was worth it. the locked boxes worked and we had a good time.
Near the big hotels
I arrived in Cancun without a hotel reservation in April 04 because I was so sure I was going to be bumped in Los Angeles. I wasn't- so I needed a room for the night before my timeshare started. The hotel reservation agent found this for me. I would call it adequate. I paid 85 including taxes. It is a short block from the main street- possibly about a 20 minute walk from one of the main plazas that has Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood, etc. The hotel is small and backs up to the lagoon. Some rooms should have a nice view of the Lagoon and Cancun's city lights. Our's had a view of the pool. The hotel calls itself a three star. I would call it a one star by American standards. But it's certainly better than some cheap hotels than I've stayed at in Mexico. There is a nice, if smallish pool and the air-conditioning worked great. The grounds are nicely kept up. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet out by the lagoon that came with the price of our room and my boys had a fun time playing ping pong. We walked to one of the bigger hotels at night to have dinner. There is an outdoor snack-type resturant near the lagoon but no real resturant on site. I'm not sure if there is beach access through the big hotels during the day or not. If not there are several public beaches in the Cancun area that one could take the bus to. We stayed the rest of our vacation in the Rivera Maya area and I would recommend that for families. This place would be a good choice for people on a budget who want the to be near the heart of things.
TripAdvisor Reviews Grand Royal Lagoon Cancun
Travel Blogs from Cancun
Living the Beach Life
... the soothing sound of the waves lulls you into a peaceful meditative state. It's so easy to sit out on the balcony and feel the cooling soft breeze against your skin.
The ocean is a little rough here, similar to the Pacific, but much warmer. We had relatively cool weather our first week here - one night was actually cold, but now it's balmy ...
Change is Hard
... chairs, a large rustic "farm table" for dining and simple wooden stools. - perfect for a family with a very small, very messy kid. One of the best features of the villa were the huge double doors that opened up the living room to a manicured jungle-scape painstakingly maintained each year by a well meaning, hard working and possibly a bit feeble minded, Miguel.
Sad to leave this beautiful island
... to hostel but stopped at place and got yummy burrito. Walked to ferry with Sandra from room. Had another pinch yourself moment on the boat with guy with guitar singing hotel California by the eagles. Assumed buses to tulum would run really regular but was wrong! Checked just before left hostel that one at 3.45 and next one not til 5.30 and we got 3 boat! Got off boat got cash out and tried to get cheap ...
... tasted good. Then I started experimenting with the left over dips. The fish with the habenero was delicious - although extremely hot this sauce really took the meat to another level. Excellent pairing. The red chili and prawn were a good combo, and the mussels seemed to work with everything, but I think the green tomato best. The only thing I couldn't find a home for was the calamari rings, so I just left them.
Marinero's walks the line between tourist trap and good food, ...
Beaches, Taco's and Sunburn
... vs Colombia, and it was absolutely rammed with both sets of fans. The atomsphere was amazing, but the beer was pretty expensive. Well, UK prices expensive that is. Have never seen people celebrate like the Brazil fans did when they scored! After that, back to the beach. Then many missions to try and find a working ATM that did Pesos, which there is a surprising lack of in Cancun.
Off to join up with my STA Travel trip tomorrow, fingers crossed for no weirdos.

Frank Lampard has become the last member of England's 'golden generation' to retire from international football with the midfielder hailed as a "superb representative" by national team manager Roy Hodgson. The announcement by Lampard, 36, comes as little surprise after his change of clubs this summer, and brings down the curtain on a fine England career that began 15 years ago in 1999 and ended at the FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil in June.
The former Chelsea midfielder said the decision had been a tough one, but that his new club career with Major League Soccer side New York City - and his current loan spell at Manchester City - had persuaded him the time was right after winning 106 caps and scoring 29 goals for his country.
England manager Hodgson said: "Frank Lampard has been a superb representative of the English game - both as a player on the pitch and an ambassador off it. To reach in excess of 100 international caps is something very few professionals achieve and he is in exalted company.
"He has served the national team quite brilliantly during his 15-year international career. It is with regret that I accept and understand the decision he's made."
Lampard made his final England performance in the World Cup against Costa Rica, and he follows Steven Gerrard in announcing his retirement. He said in a statement: "I have taken the decision to retire from international football. It has been a very tough decision for me to make which is why I have given it so much thought since the World Cup.
"Due to my club career now going in a different direction it is of utmost importance for me to consider my family first - also, to concentrate on how I can perform consistently to the best of my abilities over my next few years in club football."
Lampard was part of a generation of hugely-talented young English players who emerged during the late 1990s - David Beckham, Gerrard, Michael Owen, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Gary Neville and Sol Campbell were among the others.
The closest that group came to securing major honours came at UEFA EURO 2004, when they were knocked out on penalties by hosts Portugal in the quarter-finals despite having dominated the game. They also departed at the same stage at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, the last time England made the last-eight of a major tournament.
Lampard's talent for scoring goals set him apart - no other midfielder has scored more for England and that talent was recognised by Gary Lineker, who paid tribute to him as "a fine player, an outstanding finisher and a credit to the game of football".
Lampard said that changes in youth development in English football now promised much. He said: "It is now the time to move forward and I feel very confident that, with Roy Hodgson in charge, the young players that we have coming through and the changes that are being made throughout the development of the youth system in this country, we will have success in the future and a team that this country deserves.
"I would like to thank all the managers that I have worked under, all the players that I have been fortunate enough to play alongside, and all the England fans for their support, not only at home, but particularly on their travels with the team around the world. I now look forward to continuing to support the team as a fan and wish them every success for the upcoming campaign towards France 2016."
Hodgson said he had not tried to persuade Lampard to change his mind. "I've been aware since discussions in Brazil that Frank was considering his England future. I spoke to him since his loan to Manchester City about the possibility of him retiring, primarily due to the fact that he's taken on new commitments both here and abroad," he said.
"I know it's not a decision he's taken lightly and, as with Steven Gerrard's decision, I promised Frank that I would accept his choice with good grace and not try to change his mind." Lampard is the joint sixth most-capped player in England history, level with Sir Bobby Charlton, while his 29 England goals puts him joint ninth on the list of scorers.

Where are large anchor bolts used?
Established in 1902, the Bureau of Reclamation is best known for the dams, power plants, and canals it constructed in 17 Western states. These water projects led to homesteading and promoted the economic development of the West. The Bureau of Reclamation has constructed more than 600 dams and reservoirs including Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and Grand Coulee on the Columbia River.
Reclamation has built a number of dams that use large anchor bolts to support spillway gates. These bolts measure up to three inches in diameter and are over 10 feet long. Many of them were installed over 50 years ago. Having been in place for half a century or longer, it is imperative to find a non-destructive method to determine the load-carrying capacity of these bolts. No methods currently exist.
Large anchor bolts are also used on a wide variety of infrastructures besides dams including highway structures, electrical towers, large tanks, nuclear power-plants, foundations and in mining.
The absence of having a method to determine the load-carrying capacity of large anchor bolts has lead to the use of unsupported conjectures about the load carrying capacity of these bolts. This can result in the replacement of bolts that are satisfactory and, worse, leave untouched bolts that are prepared to fail.
NDT of large anchor bolts
Accurately estimating the load carrying capacity of large anchor bolts with nondestructive tests is very difficult. The ideal method should be able to accurately measure the cross-sectional area throughout the entire bolt length. We will be looking for an area loss as little as 10%, with a resolution of 2 %. In addition, we also want to look for areas where the bolt is disbonded from the concrete. Access to the bolts is typically very difficult. Often we can only reach the top of the bolt.
Failure Mechanisms
We do not know the typical or probable deterioration mechanisms of these large anchor bolts. It could be corrosion at the head or along the outside perimeter of the bolt. It could be cracking of the steel.

I try to go back on youtube once a month and catch Bruguera in '93 at the french. He was awesome that year. Took out Pete, Medvedev and Courier
Nobody expected him to win either of the French Opens he won. In 1993 Courier was the heavy favorite all along, and just before the final. In 1994 he had a dissapointing clay season heading into Roland Garros, and Bruguera was the new big thing on clay. He played incredible tennis both years to win.
He played really well in 1997 too, too bad he got nervous for the final, but he was playing another clay great to be Kuerten who played incredible that day also. I remember being excited in 1997 when he beat Sampras at Miami (on hard courts) and made the final, and then made that French Open final run, it seemed like he was really on his way back, but that would be his last hurrah of sorts.
Injuries definitely wrecked his career from 96 onwards especialy.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Nights and Reala..
Have they always been able to transform into things? I can't really remember that on the Saturn NiGHTS.
Or is it something that came about in the wii NiGHTS?
It's just I was abit bummed to see Nights and Reala weren't really playable because they are their cars...
They look freaky as hell!
"Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Skies of Arcadia
Wii NiGHTs I think.
It was great seeing Aerith run around Times Square and Pedigree opponents in the train station. - Strife2
If love can hurt, then surely hate can save. - Altena
It wouldn't even be that bad if you were just playing as them in vehicle forms...but it's the fact that there's a nightopian DRIVER that ruins it.
So you aren't even playing as say, NiGHTS in a car form. Nope, you are playing as a Nightopian DRIVING NiGHTS in a car form.
MK: Sheeva/Mileena, SSF4: Guile, BB: Makoto, DOA4: Leon, SC4: Astaroth, SF3: Alex, AH3: Zenia Valov, Tekken: Bryan Fury, VF: Vanessa
Play NiGHTS again - it's on XBLA so you have no excuse! - and you'll see that NiGHTS transforms into vehicles in a couple of the levels.
And the Lord said unto John, "Come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

Hey guys,
I dont have too many tracks uploaded here but I was thinking to bring some order into the ones I have and put them in collections. So I made an orchestral / cinematic one,since most of my tracks are within that style. My questions are, only buyers of a certain song from the collection are allowed to rate it, or how does it work? And second, should I start arranging my tracks into such collections, even if I dont have so many tracks yet? Maybe adding some tracks from other friends authors from AJ? (maybe a collection of just 2-3 tracks wont look that good) Thanks a lot!
Everybody can vote on your collections. I just did

Here goes, I bought Unit 13 today (UK) and went to download the Network Pass, so I redeemed the code and preesed next but it didn't download, so I went to Download List and it wasn't there so then I went to Add Ons to DL it from there but when I clicked on it, it came up with the little symbol saying I bought/downloaded it but no download button.........so question is, what do I do? Thanks in advance

unless we demand better we will keep getting fed the same crud from every game. - Blitz4532
I believe I had to redeem a code on PSN and download it. I initially thought it didn't work either because it seemed like it corrupted or did not download right. I went into the game and it would not go online. However, the game patched and when it installed and I went into it again it came online. Have you tried that. I have the US version, not sure of the differences but I hope that helps.

Reigning Champion Eddie Krawiec takes his first career event win in NHRA Pro Stock.
Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines rider Eddie Krawiec rode to his first career event win in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing in Atlanta this weekend. Riding a Harley-Davidson V-Rod he defeated Horne Racing Buell's Douglas Horne in the final round of eliminations at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway. The win was a milestone for Krawiec, who earned the 2008 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle championship without winning an event.
"It sure feels good to get this win and get that burden off my back," said Krawiec. "I've been to five final rounds and won a championship, but I still had to prove I was capable of winning an event. My crew chief, Matt Hines, put an awesome Harley-Davidson motorcycle under me all weekend, and it carried me to some personal records in qualifying and then all the way through the finals."
Krawiec's win capped a successful weekend for the Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines team. For the second event in a row and the 24th time in his career, Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines rider Andrew Hines was the top qualifier. His 6.877-second/195.03-mph blast on Friday stands as the fourth-best elapsed time in Pro Stock Motorcycle history, set a new Pro Stock Motorcycle track record and is a new personal-best ET and top speed for Hines. Krawiec also set new personal-best marks with a 6.881/194.49 run on Friday to take the second spot in qualifying
Hines defeated MB Machining Buell rider Mike Berry in the first round of Sunday eliminations, and won the second round when Rum Bum Racing Buell rider Shawn Gann fouled at the starting line. Hines faced Horne in the semi-final round, and lost to the rookie at the starting line with a 0.047 reaction time and 6.947 ET to the 0.026/6.959 combination put down by Horne, who took the win by just 0.009 seconds.
Krawiec advanced to the final round with a no-show win over LE Tonglet in round one, a win over Rocklin Motorsports Buell rider Matt Guidera in round two, and a win over Matt Smith when his NitroFish Suzuki broke during his semi-final run.
After a two-hour rain delay, Krawiec and Horne lined up for the event final. Krawiec left the line in 0.019 seconds and posted a 6.902 ET to beat Horne's 0.041/6.949 by a convincing margin.
A no-show got Krawiec started, but it was his quick reflexes and lightening fast V-Rod that took him the rest of the way.
"We are so happy Eddie can now check an event win off of his racing to-do list," said Harley-Davidson race team manager Anne Paluso. "The team was working on motors up until the hauler pulled out of Indy for Atlanta, and all that hard work definitely paid off. This was a great weekend for everyone on the Screamin' Eagle team."
After three events on the 17-race 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Pro Stock Motorcycle schedule, Smith leads the standings with 270 points. Hines moves from third to second place with 230 points. Hector Arana drops to third with 226 points, and Krawiec moves from sixth to fourth place with 224 points.
The next event on the 2009 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle schedule is the O'Reilly NHRA Midwest Nationals, May 1-3 at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Ill.

Skillets adds to culinary scene at Pavilion shops
Pavilion Shops in North Naples is fast becoming a Naples culinary attraction, with KC American Bistro's expansion, Fit n' Fuel Cafe, Trattoria Abruzzo, Margarita's and now the new Skillets.
Ross Edlund and his wife, Noreen, have several Skillets restaurants in Naples and have just opened their newest, a fourth location in Pavilion Shops. They also have a Skillets in trendy Charlotte, N.C.
The Edlunds opened the location in what used to be Bha! Bha! Persian Bistro. The new Skillets bears the restaurant's trademark pine, accented décor, but the open setting, festive yellow exterior and red doors make this location big and bright. It just looks like a happy place to eat, and it is. While the location is new, Skillets has been welcoming Neapolitans to breakfast and lunch for 18 years.
The Edlunds are interesting people — in his previous life, Ross was the founder and owner of the successful bakery chain in Chicago "Let Them Eat Cake" (which could be why the sourdough waffle at Skillets is so divine.) Noreen, who originally hails from Ireland, was an operating theater nurse in London and was later a first-class air hostess with the Royal Jordanian Airline. Their combined experience has helped them generate a following.
The newest Skillets has all of the old favorites — speaking of those otherworldly sourdough waffles. Ross Edlund says the Skillets egg white omelets "floats off the plate" and it is probably the fluffiest egg white omelet in Naples ($9.50). Naturally, given his background, all of the bread is homemade and baked daily in the restaurant's hearth ovens.
Where: 847 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Pavilion shopping center, North Naples, 239-330-2515; 5461 Airport-Pulling Road N., Bed, Bath and Beyond Plaza, North Naples, 239-566-1999; 4170 U.S. 41 N., Naples, 239-262-3788; 9174 Bonita Beach Road SE, Bonita Springs, 239-992-9333
Hours: 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily
Prices: $6-$11.50 breakfast; $6.95-$11.50 lunch; $4.50-$5 kids menu
Information: www.skilletsrestaurants.com
Diners also will find crepes ($7-10), Chicago style blintzes ($8.50), slow-cooked oatmeal and other traditional breakfast items on the menu. Skillets also serves several egg Benedicts from vegetarian to smoked salmon ($9.50-11.50), Brussels waffles and pancakes in a choice of Belgian recipe or stone-ground wheat. Skillets also is known for its potato pancakes, made fresh and served with hot apples and sour cream ($7.50 for four).
And some of the most popular items at Skillets are, of course, skillets. Skillets are made with potatoes or grits, whichever flavor combination you choose and topped with two eggs. And nothing beats the Denver skillet ($9.50) with ham, cheese, peppers, onions and tomatoes. The Philly cheesesteak skillet ($9.50) is the heartiest of the bunch with sirloin, grilled onions, peppers and provolone cheese. The corned beef hash skillet is $10.50, and the plain potato egger with just eggs and bacon atop the starch is $8.50.
The Edlunds also serve fresh roasted and brewed Guatemalan coffee which comes directly from the plantation and still serve their orange juice in frosty beer mugs.
A number of open faced omelets — otherwise known as frittatas — dot the menu as well, with the best-selling one according to the Edlunds being the avocado, bacon and pepper Jack frittata ($10) served with homemade fresh tomato salsa. The potatoes that go in these dishes are made with oven roasted potato shreds and then baked with cream, cream cheese and scallions.
All of the skillets are made from scratch, as are the homemade batters, stocks, sauces and soups. The latter items are part of the restaurant's lunch menu. Skillets does a superb lunch with some competitive items giving Naples luncheonettes a run for their money. Lunch skillets include chicken vegetable, ham and bacon and vegetarian ($8-$9.50) and are large enough to easily share.
The strawberry vinaigrette and Caesar salad dressing are made in-house for several salads which include a Cobb salad, BLT salad and seasonal spinach berry salad in whole and half orders from $6.95-$10.50, among others. Rosemary herb griddled panini sandwiches include in Cordon bleu, vegetarian and a Cuban panini ($8-$9.50).
Two other oft-ordered items on the lunch menu are the Reuben sandwich on rye bread ($9.50) and triple decker BLT ($8.50). Another savory item is the old-fashioned tuna melt ($10, $7.50 for a half-order) with tomato and Swiss cheese on an English muffin. Scrumptious stuff.
You can order a half-sandwich and soup of the day, and Skillets also has a French onion soup ($6) made from a homemade stock. Skillets closes at 2:30 every day.

Birthday Cake
Heidi Klum's birthday isn't until Saturday, but she got an early cake to mark the occasion at the red carpet event for the new Germany's Next Topmodel in Berlin on Monday. Doesn't it seem kind of cruel to give a supermodel cake for her birthday?

Where's the Excelsior and Ambassador class ships? SHip classes are messed up.
The cruiser class is the most recognizable ship class in the Star Trek Universe. Just follow the Enterprise's classes over the years. The problem is that two of them are missing. Where's the "B" (Excelsior) and "C" (Ambassador) classes. They are very important in the cruiser line. Instead we get the Constellation, Stargazer, and the Dakota class. Cryptic should put the Excelsior & Ambassador classes as the Heavy Cruisers and have us start off with the Stargazer & Dakota. Also, wasn't the Stargazer a Constellation class ship? I think it was.

What's not to love about beaded bracelets? I've had a longtime love affair with beaded
bracelets. Never met a beaded bracelet I didn't
like. They're fun to make, fun to wear, and everyone likes a bracelet or two (try pairing up a couple of different bracelets
sometime when you feel adventurous). Really, the thing I love the most about them is that you can casually glance down and admire them whenever you feel like it. There's nothing like a new beaded bracelet to add a little pick-me-up to your favorite outfit!
Beaded bracelets can be made by just about anyone with any set of beading skills! Whether you love to do stringing, wire work or off-loom beadweaving, you'll find a bracelet making pattern that you love.
Do you have a favorite beaded bracelet? Leave a comment and tell us about it, or better yet, take a picture of your favorite beaded bracelet creation and post it in the Reader Photo Gallery!
Bead Happy,
Wow all of these bracelets look beautiful! I am new to bead making so will try something easier.
I've challened myself to make a bracelet a week on my blog at http://pookledo.blogspot.com/ so these patterns will come in handy. Cheers! :)

Nissan Versa Real World MPG
cubajoe Posts: 1
2012 Versa hatchback 1.8SL
My Versa was purchased in Feburary 2014 with 60 miles on it when delivered. Basically, it was a brand new car. It has CVT transmission. I lived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the weather this Winter/Spring is colder than normal. The car was purchased in Ottawa and when I drove the car back to Toronto through Hwy416 and 401, I could only guesstimate the mileage to be aroung 24.8 miles per US gal. becasue the first tank of gas was supplied by the dealer and I didn't know the exact mileage when it was filled up.
Finally, I had the chance to top up this car. In order to get true amount of gas uses until the next fill up, I topped the gas right to the neck, that means I pumped the gas until I couldn't pump in anymore! When the fuel gauge empty warning light turned on, I filled up the gas in the same manner. I recorded the gas mileage to be 21.84 miles per US gallon. It is much worse than the 2009 Corolla I replaced although both cars have the same official gas mileages. I estimate the Versa would cost $2000 more on gas for 60000 miles driving than the Corolla. I am thinking to trade in this Versa for a newer version of Versa, such as 2012 or newer Versa sedan. I have read all the comments in this colummn, some reported good gas mileages some not too good. Besides all factors affecting the mileage consumption, I think it is about the quality control of the manufacturing of this car. Somehow, either the gas sensor or something else was not set correctly or have defects which greatly affect the mileage of the car. For consumers like us, it would be very difficult to find out what goes wrong and mostly likely will be waste our time to ask Nissan to look at our cars to find out what goes wrong. So, the best way to deal with it is trade for another car!0 ·

Perhaps my results were an aberration, based on the mpg reported here, but if so, it happened multiple times. I rented a Versa SV while my 2012 Ford Focus was in the shop. i drove the 90-mile round trip work commute five or six times in the Versa. According to the dashboard mpg gauge, my mpg for each trip (rounded off) were 48, 52, 44, 54, and 50. Very little of that was freeway driving. Most of it was routes with stop lights but long stretches in-between lights. Speeds averaged 50-55 mph.
If the mpg gauge was accurate, then those mpg readings are nothing short of insane. Hybrid? I don't need no stinking hybrid. I may have found my future next car. Most inexpensive car on the market, crazy-good gas mileage, a ton of interior room and a huge trunk...and contrary to what the automotive press says, it didn't drive badly either. Amazing.0 ·
Those readings sound a bit on the high side since the dashboard gauge on our 2014 Versa Note seems really accurate when I compare it to doing the actual miles/gal calculation at fill ups. When you reset the avg mpg for each trip like that, you can get some wide variation given the driving conditions. (I love it when the instantaneous reading pegs at 99.9 mpg going downhill)
Our Note averages 39.9 overall in mixed driving. When we've gone on longer trips that are mostly highway, I'll see an average like 40.7 for the trip.
This is our 5th Versa in the family since 2007 (one was totaled when it was sandwiched in a hit from behind) and the wife and I, and each of the grown kids love them

alesndy Posts: 1I have a 2007 Nissan Versa automatic transmission hatchback. I filled it up until it was about to spill over and I drove it 363.3 miles. The needle was one orange line from empty. I filled it again until it was about to spill over. It only took 10.970 gallons to become full again. So either the tank really isn't 13.3 gallons or I could have gone over 400 miles. Not that I ever would, I wouldn't want to risk any problems. But I can deal with around 360 miles per 11 gallons. 32mpg is reasonable to me. That's 80% highway at 50-80 mph depending on traffic conditions and 20% street 15-40mph. Unlike others I haven't had any engine or transmission problems and I'm at about 168,000 miles. So knocking on wood I don't have to make any big repairs soon. But for my first car I think my dad chose well.1 ·
My oldest daughter still has our 2007 Versa, although it's the 6-speed manual, and she's still getting about 32 mpg avg, maybe up to 34 on the highway, and I think it's up around 150,000 miles and still going strong. I think your Dad made a good choice as well

"A back and forth, not just an in and out" is a psychiatrist's feeble summation of modern sex in Lukas Bärfuss's The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents. He's administering a remedial course on the subject to Dora, a dysfunctional woman-child who has just been taken off tranquilizers for the first time since becoming more woman than child. Her mother, who had clamored for this peek "behind the pharmaceutical curtain," grows leery, though, when Dora beds a perverse perfume salesman whose highest term of praise is, "You stink like an old goat."
The script itself tends toward symbolism and send-up. Dora usually speaks in shards of language borrowed from others, and she often seems to lack any independent personality whatsoever. Tellingly, Dora owes her name to Freud's most famous "hysteric," a woman whose oppression by colluding alpha males has become the stock-in-trade of feminist critiques of psychoanalysis.
Director Kristjan Thor, however, cultivates a more naturalistic style, one that focuses on the bruised face under the satiric mask. Grace Gummer, as Dora, makes her character's self-destruction gleam with an iridescent inner life, and Max Lodge, as her dubious boyfriend, commands the stage with a Gene Wilder–ish creepy-loveliness. Is their romance execrable or sweet? Thanks to this nagging ambiguity, the production gains in ethical complexity what it lacks in satiric energy.

Recruiting 2012 - 2007 Lookback
The 5-Star Recruits ... 1-10
The 2007 5-Star Prospects. Were They Worth It?
- 1-10 |
11-20 |
21-30 |
31-40 |
41-50 |
2007 CFN Recruiting
10. LB Chris Galippo, USC
Four years in, and Galippo has looked the part for just one of them. In 2007 and 2008, a back problem and too much surrounding talent limited him to just 20 tackles. After starting in the middle throughout 2009, he lost the job to Devon Kennard before last season and finished 12th on the team with only 29 stops. He has one crucial season left and a lot of personal goals, including a little redemption and getting back on the radar of pro scouts.
Worth the Hype? Not quite
9. DE Everson Griffen, USC
Sure, Griffen was talented enough to get drafted 100th overall by the Minnesota Vikings in 2010, but the Trojans got far less than they expected. An enigma from the outset, he lacked consistency and didn't always bring it for Troy. Over the course of three seasons, he registered 18 sacks, but more than one-third came in games against Oregon State and Notre Dame. He has plenty of upside potential, but has to become less streaky and more steady.
Worth the Hype? Sort of
8. DT Marvin Austin, North Carolina
In all candor, the Tar Heels expected a lot more from Austin, who didn't exactly go out on a high note. After surprising everyone by returning for his senior year, the study in contradictions was suspended for all of 2010 for allegedly receiving improper benefits. In his three seasons, he was a solid interior lineman, starting the final two years and getting named second team All-ACC in 2009.
Worth the Hype? Sort of
7. C Kristofer O'Dowd, USC
A precocious recruit, O'Dowd became the first true freshman to start at center for USC, the beginning of a terrific career. When healthy, he was one of the Pac-10's best blockers, making the all-conference first team in 2008 and earning honorable mention last fall. The total package on the inside, he'll be one of the first centers taken off the board in April's NFL Draft.
Worth the Hype? Yes
6. OG Tray Allen, Texas
It figures. Just when it looked as if the career backup was going to become a fixture at guard, he broke a bone in his foot and had to be redshirted. The good news is that he has one additional season of eligibility to make amends in Austin. Barring a breakout, all-star finale, though, he'll have a tough time avoiding being labeled a major bust after arriving with so much fanfare.
Worth the Hype? Nope
5. OTJosh Oglesby, Wisconsin
While he still has another season left in Madison, but so far the story hasn't
gone the way Badger fans had hoped. Four years after being the nation's top-ranked tackle, it hasn't quite come together for the product of Milwaukee. He's started games in each of the last three seasons, including 10 in 2009, but knee injuries and a questionable mean streak have kept him from becoming the dominant force
he was expected to be.
Worth the Hype? Not quite
4. TE Aaron Hernandez, Florida
Part tight end and part H-back, Hernandez was a great fit in the Gator offense and a favorite target of Tim Tebow. Peaking with 68 grabs in his third and final season in Gainesville, his college resume was highlighted by 111 receptions for 1,382 yards, and 12 touchdowns. An All-American and the first SEC tight end to win the John Mackey Award, he delivered an outstanding debut as a part-time starter with the New England Patriots.
Worth the Hype? Yes
3. WR Terrence Toliver, LSU
No doubt, there were moments over the last four seasons, like catching two touchdowns in October's win over Florida and a three-touchdown Cotton Bowl. Unfortunately for Toliver, they were too infrequent. Considering all of the hype, no all-star appearances and 126 career receptions for 1,820 yards and a dozen touchdowns didn't quite measure up to massive expectations.
Worth the Hype? Not quite
2. RB Joe McKnight, USC
The next Reggie Bush? Not even close. McKnight proved to be a weak facsimile of his predecessor, struggling with injuries and allegations of off-field improprieties. A flashy playmaker during his three years, he rushed for 2,213 yards, caught 66 passes, and scored 15 times. Drafted in the fourth round by the New York Jets after leaving school early, he played sparingly, but did finish the regular season by rushing for 158 yards.
Worth the Hype? Not quite
1. QB Jimmy Clausen , Notre Dame
Clausen enjoyed a solid three-year career in South Bend. An extension of coach Charlie Weis, he started taking off as a sophomore, throwing 53 touchdown passes over the last two seasons and showing a knack for coming through in the clutch. Although he plummeted to No. 48 overall, one of the storylines of the 2010 NFL Draft, he finally drew the interest of the Carolina Panthers and got his feet wet in a difficult pro debut.
Worth the Hype? Yes

Rita May Worsen Red Tide in South Texas
SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas — While Hurricane Rita struck days ago and hundreds of miles away, the storm is still creating problems on the southern tip of Texas.
Rita's path left South Texas hot and dry – conditions ideal for one of the worst red tides in memory – and swells from the storm have created fears that the toxic algae could spread.
"The red tide likes hot weather, it likes a certain salinity, it likes low wind," said Sonia Gallegos, a scientist at the Naval Research Lab at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi who has studied red tide for decades. "That's why we still have a red tide."
Tony Reisinger, a marine biologist at the University of Texas-Pan American Coastal Studies lab who confirmed its presence here Sept. 15, said swells from Rita breached the island at 11 places. He said that could send red tide blooms into the Laguna Madre, the popular fishing bay on the island's other side.
Trout, flounder, snook and other fish are washing up dead, along with smaller "filter feeders" that have been dying since the toxic algae first appeared more than a week before the storm.
Red tide occurs when algae known as karenia brevis proliferate, giving a reddish hue to the water. The blooms choke off oxygen in the water, destroying undersea life. The organisms also emit a toxin that paralyzes fish and causes discomfort for humans breathing the mist.
The bloom was so heavy in the days leading up to the hurricane that "we could actually taste it, which I've never experienced in my life before," Reisinger said. "It had a chemical taste to it."
Reisinger said red tide measured two to three times the level that's typically considered high.
The toxins in red tide can build up in the tissues of shellfish such as oysters clams, and scallops and may force delay or closure of the oyster harvest scheduled to begin Nov. 1, said Gary Heideman of the Department of State Health Services.
Red tide hurts fishing and tourism, and surfers enjoying Rita's southern ripples found red tide's mist uncomfortable.
"Man, it really burns your eyes," surfer Gene Gore said. "We pretty much surfed till we almost went blind."
If Rita had hit south of Matagorda Island, about the midpoint of the Texas coast, rains would have flushed South Padre's red tide out, Gallegos said.
Even though the red tide remains, Reisinger said it can be beneficial.
"It gives the ecosystem a rest when the fish are taken out of it," he said, adding that the alga is basically a plant that nourishes some marine life while killing others.
He said researchers also have extracted a chemical called brevenal from the algae that is being used to treat cystic fibrosis.
"It has harmful respiratory effects, yet it can be used to treat respiratory ailments," he said.

BOISE-- Police say a 44-year-old Boise man is charged with felony drug trafficking and manufacturing after they found a large marijuana grow inside his Bench-neighborhood home on Thursday.
Anthony M. Allen was growing marijuana indoors, packaging it, and selling it out of his home on the 2500 block of South Kerr Place, according to police evidence.
Officers say they found more than 200 marijuana plants, in various stages of growth, inside a spare bedroom in his home. They also seized nearly two pounds of dried, packaged pot.
Allen was arrested Thursday evening during a traffic stop. Officers say they investigated a citizen tip about drug activity near Allen's home, then got a search warrant Thursday evening. They found him driving nearby.
Members of the BANDITtask force and Boise Police Neighborhood Contact Officers assisted in the arrest.

SUMMIT — The Bulldogs got everything they were looking for, it just came a half too late.
After trailing 8-2 at halftime at the hands of top-seeded Summit, fourth-seeded Rumson-Fair Haven rebounded strong in the second half, playing even with the defending group I champions.
Rumson-Fair Haven fell to the Hilltoppers, 13-7 in the the NJSIAA group I semi-finals last Saturday.
In the end, a daunting first half that witnessed Summit dominate possession cost Rumson at Investors Bank Field.
"When we got the ball, we panicked a little bit and threw the ball away," Rumson-Fair Haven head coach Reid Jackson said.
Summit was led by the tag team of Nick Kilkowski and Austin Carbone, who together combined for 9 of Summit's 13 goals.
RFH got goals from Michael Clarke in the first and second quarters for its two first half goals, but Clarke was able to work with linemates Jack Curran and Chris Sutphen and battle back for a strong second half.
"We did come out a lot better in the second half. We handled ourselves and said that it was a whole new game in the second half," Clarke said. "They won the first half and we wanted to match them in the second."
For Clarke, the game meant much more than just reaching the semi-finals.
"We came in here to win the game. We weren't content with just getting here and making history," he said. "We wanted to give them a fight and I think now they know that Rumson isn't a joke coming from the Shore Conference."
Chris Hubler and Curran posted early goals in the second half, cutting the Hilltoppers lead to 9-4, but it would be as close as they would get.
Curran finished with two goals, and Clarke finished with a team-high four goals for Rumson-Fair Haven.
"I've been waiting to play Summit for awhile. I played here as a freshman and we were content with not even making it to the quarterfinals," Clarke said. "Coach Jackson keeps saying no fear. That game we were content with being there, this game we wanted to win. We knew we had a chance to win."
"We don't play teams like that all the time and I think we respected them too much," Jackson said. "We were a little hesitant in the first half, and when you play a team like that, it's about centimeters. You give them two, they're going to take it and score.
"We played them even in the second half. I give the guys a lot of credit, the program took a big step forward. The guys never quit. Our mantra today was that we weren't going to go away, and we didn't."
The loss is the lone of the season for the Bulldogs, who went 19-1, including winning the Shore Conference Tournament.
The Bulldogs went 365 days without a loss, last falling on May 26, 2011 to West Essex Regional in the quarterfinals of the group I state playoffs.
"It was fantastic," Jackson said of the season. "It's easy when you're winning, but we did a lot of work. I'm proud of the seniors, I'm proud of the sophomores, I'm proud of everyone on the team. From the guys that didn't play at all, to the guys that started. It was an all-in effort."
"I know last year we made it to the quarterfinals and won the Shore Conference Tournament, but this team is just a family," Clarke said. "This is just something special and hopefully we can repeat it next year."
