WHEELING - Linsly has played only four games but after Tuesday's 5-2 victory against Brooke at Holloway Field, the Cadets looked like a team that has been clicking on all cylinders for months.
Good thing, too, with a tough stretch ahead in the next week.
Jamaal Ebanks led the way with two goals (he was also the key playmaker on an own goal) and an assist as the Cadets improved to 3-1.

Brooke's Jacob Kennedy (3) and Linsly's Alec Reed fight for possession of the ball during action of their game Tuesday at Holloway Field.
''We have great depth and (Brooke) had less guys so know if played a complete game, we could get them in and we were able to finish in the second half,'' Linsly coach Eric Fries said. ''Our ball possession got great in the second half. I thought we moved it well, finishing and communicating was great. Teams are going to work hard in the first 20 minutes and try to get up on us but we wore them and wore them down and they just couldn't get out of their own end.''
The match got off to a fast-paced start as Linsly's Sung Bok Yoo fired a shot on net that Brooke goalkeeper Zachary Ciccolella couldn't come up with cleanly and slipped into the back of the net less than two minutes in.
Brooke (2-3) came right back and answered two minutes later as Nathan Morris fired a shot from outside of the box that beat Linsly netminder Jason Mull to the lower right corner.
Less than a minute later, the Cadets regained a lead as Ebanks beat a defender along the end line, passed back to a charging Tim Chung, who lifted it over Ciccolella's hands, off the crossbar and across the goal line.
Goals were scored on the first three shots.
Brooke again tied it on another goal from Morris in the 17th minute.
Like earlier, it didn't take Linsly long to get back on top, scoring five minutes later as Ebanks fought off two Brooke defenders before beating Ciccolella for a 3-2 lead.
''When a team comes back down and scores, our offense knows they have to pick our defense up,'' Fries said. ''We had some breakdowns but we had offense step up.
''Still, across the board, it was a great team win. Jamaal up top just worked (Brooke's defenders) to death. He is starting to be more composed and he will start scoring lights out.''
It was Ebanks' hard work that helped Linsly create some space. He received the ball down deep and sent a pass across the middle to Lucas Lorentz. Instead, it hit off the heel of Christian Hooper and into the Brooke goal.
''In the first half, we got caught early and we played back but I think the rain played a big factor in the second half,'' Brooke coach Brian Cerullo said. ''In the second half, guys started sliding and it got a little chippy, and got us out of our game.
''I think (the own goal) had an effect but they will never admit it. It's never a fun thing. Coming from a former player, I know what that's like''
Ebanks completed the scoring as he scored his second goal in the 60th minute on an assist from Ben Morano.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (USA TODAY) -- A bail hearing for South African track star Oscar Pistorius, charged with premeditated murder of his girlfriend, took a dramatic turn after it was revealed that the lead prosecution witness is himself facing attempted murder charges.
"The poor quality of the evidence presented by chief investigating officer Botha exposed disastrous shortcomings in the state's case," Roux said.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel told the court that inspector Hilton Botha, who testified Wednesday, is facing seven counts of attempted murder and is expected to stand trial in May in relation to a 2011 shooting. Botha and two other police officers allegedly fired at a minibus during an arrest attempt.
The charges had been dropped in March 2012 but were reinstated Feb. 4. Nels said he learned about the charges Wednesday.
Police brigadier Neville Malila said police made a decision Wednesday to bolster the investigation by adding officers to it to create a team.
On the stand Thursday, Botha was asked by magistrate Desmond Nair whether he thought it was important Reeva Steenkamp could have used her phone to contact people in the hours leading up to her death, and whether phone records had been requested. Botha answered "yes" to both questions, adding that he had not received Steenkamp's phone records.
The judge then remarked that there seemed to be a lack of urgency from the police in obtaining the records.
STORY: Nike drops Pistorius
Roux also pointed to the prosecution ignoring Pistorius' claims that he thought a burglar was in the house and says that Botha's affidavit supports Pistorius' version of events.
Wednesday, the prosecution suffered setbacks when the defense rebutted evidence against Pistorius. Botha said the police have no evidence that contradicts the athlete's version of events.
Botha also testified that needles and testosterone were found in Pistorius' bedroom, but the defense said the substance is an herbal substance. The Associated Press reported that the substance is still being tested.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Drexel University
|3 Years
John Szefc is entering his fourth season as the head coach of the Terps this spring after becoming the seventh head coach in the history of the Maryland baseball program on July 18, 2012.
Szefc (pronounced CHEF), who has coached 88 players that have been drafted or signed professional contracts since 1997 including 2015 Maryland draftees Brandon Lowe (Tampa Bay Rays, 3rd round), Alex Robinson (Minnesota Twins, 5th round), LaMonte Wade (Minnesota Twins, 9th round), Jake Drossner (Milwaukee Brewers, 10th round) Jose Cuas (Milwaukee Brewers, 11th round), Kevin Mooney (Washington Nationals, 15th round), Kevin Martir (Houston Astros, 18th round) and Zach Morris (Philadelphia Phillies, 24th round).
Those eight players represented a program record for most players selected in one MLB Draft.
Szefc followed up the Terps' wildly successful 2014 campaign with season for the record books. Maryland won a program record 42 games and won its second consecutive NCAA Regional championship, defeating top overall seed UCLA twice to take the Los Angeles Regional. The Terps had never before won 40 games in back-to-back seasons.
Maryland also advanced to the final of the Big Ten Championship and won 14 conference games. The Terps' success was represented in the final rankings with the USA Today/Coaches Poll, the NCBWA poll and the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper poll all tabbing the Terps as the 14th-ranked team. D1Baseball.com placed the Terps at No. 15.
Szefc's coaching also translated into individual honors. Sophomore hurler Mike Shawaryn earned first team All-American honors from multiple organizations while second baseman Brandon Lowe and catcher Kevin Martir also earned All-American plaudits. Szefc also produced his third Freshman All-American in the last two seasons with Kevin Smith earning the honor.
The third-year head coach also tutored four All-Big Ten selections (Shawaryn, Lowe, Martir and Jose Cuas) and became the fastest head coach in Maryland history to reach 100 wins.
In 2014, Szefc helped Jake Stinnett (Chicago Cubs, 2nd Round), Ben Brewster (Chicago White Sox, 15th Round), Charlie White (Chicago Cubs, 21st Round) and Blake Schmit (Minnesota Twins, 26th Round) get drafted and orchestrated the most successful season in Maryland baseball history.
In his second season at the helm, Szefc led the Terps to a 40-win season for the first time in program history and the program's first-ever NCAA regional title. Along the way, the Szefc led Terps advanced to the ACC Tournament final for the first time since 1976 and earned its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 43 years culminating with a Columbia Regional championship.
Maryland's march to the postseason began with a remarkable month of May. Szefc guided the Terps to a 13-2 mark in the month including a nine-game winning streak to close the regular season allowing Maryland to tie the program record for ACC wins (15). In addition, with two wins to begin the conference tournament, Maryland came within one win of tying the school record for consecutive victories (12).
The successes of 2014 did not go unnoticed by the media and college baseball analysts. Maryland finished the season with its highest ever ranking peaking at No. 13 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. The Terps finished the season ranked 14th in the Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball News and Perfect Game polls, and also came in at No. 16 in the NCBWA Poll
In two seasons at Maryland, Szefc has totaled 70 wins, which is the most by any Maryland coach over that period as Maryland's skipper.
Szefc helped tutor three All-ACC selections (Brandon Lowe, Jake Stinnett and Charlie White) and two freshmen All-Americans last season (Brandon Lowe and Mike Shawaryn). After missing the 2013 season due to injury, second baseman Brandon Lowe emerged as an offensive force to earn freshman All-American honors from Baseball America, Louisville Slugger, NCBWA and Perfect Game as well as third team All-ACC recognition.
Szefc and his staff helped transform Jake Stinnett into a premier Friday night starter and guided Mike Shawaryn to the Maryland single-season wins record (11). Stinnett led the ACC with a Maryland single-season record 132 strikeouts en route to being drafted in the second round by the Chicago Cubs in the 2014 MLB Draft, while Shawaryn picked up freshman All-American honors from Baseball America, Louisville Slugger, NCBWA and Perfect Game.
In 2013, his first season in College Park, the Terps consistently applied pressure with an offensive approach that emphasized speed on the bases and discipline at the plate. Maryland totaled 94 stolen bases; a mark that ranked second in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 30th nationally spearheaded by outfielder Charlie White. White established a Maryland single-season record with 39 stolen bases, which led the ACC and tied for fourth nationally.
In his debut season, Szefc and the Terps won 30 games including 11 in the ultra-competitive ACC, then the most conference victories for the Terps since the 1971 season. Along the way, the Terps won seven games against top-20 RPI teams.
As has been the case in his previous coaching stops, Szefc orchestrated an 11-point increase in the Terps' batting average in 2013 from the 2012 season along with increases in several other offensive categories. Maryland's batting average jumped from .268 in 2012 to .279 last season, along with an increase of three points in slugging percentage (.379 to .382), and an 18-point increase in on-base percentage (.358 to .376). The Terps also recorded 118 doubles, an increase of 20 from the season before, 11 shy of the program record.
Under Szefc's tutelage, Reed and White earned All-ACC honors. Reed, Maryland's Friday night starter, posted career highs in wins (6) and strikeouts (74), and ranked 10th in the ACC in ERA (2.33), while ranking eighth in strikeouts. In addition, Reed became the first Maryland pitcher to be named ACC Pitcher of the Week since 2008 after tossing his first career complete game shutout in a 1-0 win at Duke on April 26. The senior lefty would win the award again one week later after striking out a career-high 11 in a 7-2 win at then-No. 18 Clemson.
White, Maryland's starting centerfielder and leadoff hitter, led the conference with 39 stolen bases, finished ninth with a .350 batting average, and tied for 11th with a .449 on-base percentage.
Szefc arrived in College Park after serving as the associate head coach at Kansas State in 2011 and 2012. He helped lead Kansas State to a NCAA Regional in 2011, when the Wildcats led the Big 12 in stolen bases with 123 while placing 10th in school history with 564 hits on the year.
Szefc has a proven track record as a recruiter and hitting coach. He served as the recruiting coordinator at his previous three stops, and as head coach at Marist College, led the Red Foxes to four conference championships and four NCAA Regional appearances in a seven-year stint from 1996-2002 winning a game in each of the squad's final three tournament appearances to place third in each regional. The Red Foxes knocked off McNeese State in the Lafayette Regional (2000), defeated Long Beach State in the Palo Alto Regional (2001), and defeated Southwest Missouri State in the Lincoln Regional (2002).
In his career, he has coached in 27 NCAA Regional games and three NCAA Super Regional games, coached and developed 15 All-Americans, and accumulated a 641-430-4 overall record as an assistant and head coach.
Szefc went to Manhattan after a two-year stint at the University of Kansas where he was the team's hitting coach and recruiting coordinator. While in Lawrence, Szefc helped lead the Jayhawks to two Big 12 Championship appearances and a NCAA Regional berth during his first season in 2009.
With Szefc's guidance, the Jayhawks made a 17-point improvement in overall team batting average from .287 in 2008 to .304 in 2010. In Big 12 games in 2010, Kansas hit .305, which ranked second in the conference, while it led the league in base hits (304), and finished second in runs scored (195) and walks (115) during league play
Prior to his position at Kansas, Szefc was the head assistant coach at Louisiana-Lafayette from 2003-08, running an aggressive-style Ragin' Cajun offense that saw a dramatic 60-point jump in batting average during his first three years. The Ragin' Cajun offense helped lead the school to two NCAA tournament appearances (2005, 2007) in Szefc's six seasons in Lafayette.
Szefc posted a 212-137-1 record as the skipper for Marist, leading the Red Foxes to their first baseball title as a member of the Northeast Conference in 1997. He guided Marist to a total of four NCAA Tournament appearances in 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2002, including a 41-14 record during his final year at the school. The 2002 squad claimed a victory over Southwest Missouri State in the NCAA Lincoln Regional, while five of Szefc's players on that team went on to be selected in the MLB Draft.
Szefc won multiple awards as a head coach at Marist. He was named the 1997 NEC Coach of the year, while he earned American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Northeast Region Coach of the Year honors in 2001.
Before his arrival at Marist, Szefc spent one season with Sacred Heart University and four years as an assistant coach with his alma mater, Drexel, from 1990-94.
Szefc managed the New York Generals in the Atlantic College Baseball League (ACBL) during the summers of 1995 and 1996, guiding the club to a 47-28 record in two seasons, two consecutive Kaiser Division championships and the ACBL championship game in 1996.
Szefc, a native of Middletown, N.Y., played collegiately for two years at Connecticut before transferring in 1987 to Drexel. During his senior campaign for the Dragons, he was tabbed an All-East Coast Conference outfielder.
Szefc graduated from Drexel University with a degree in corporate communications in 1989. He also holds a master's degree in sports administration from Temple University.
He and his wife, Barbara, have a daughter, Anna, and two sons, John Michael and Sam.

Limeworks' Pulse Jet Wiring System- ElectrickeryWritten by on June 1, 2009 One Wire Fits All With Limeworks' New Pulse Jet Wiring System
If you've ever wired a project car from scratch, you'll know what it's like to feel a little panic set in when you have wires absolutely everywhere and a couple of bundles of wire about 3/4 inch in diameter that you have to run to the front and rear of the vehicle. Not only do you have to find a route to run all these wires, but you want to run them neatly and usually have to run them one at a time. It's a tedious, time-consuming task and very labor-intensive. Now imagine if you only had to run one or two wires to the front of the vehicle, the same to the rear, and then hook up the wiring to the engine. Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?
Well now you can, thanks to the same technology used in OEM vehicles. Limeworks' new Pulse Jet system employs three modules-one at the rear for the lights, turn signals, fuel pump, and whatever else you have back there, one at the front for the lights, turn signals, horn, fan relay, and whatever, and the main module in the interior-with a dedicated wire assigned the task of communicating digital messages to the modules. This means you only have to run a single wire to each end of the vehicle from the main module, plus a power feed wire to each module from the battery.
Modern OEM vehicles that use this kind of technology use one of two systems: CAN (Controller Area Network) or LIN (Local Interconnect Network). LIN is used for low-speed devices, while there are two speeds for CAN, CAN-A being medium speed and CAN-B being high speed. This allows three speeds between the two systems, the speed determining how much information can be sent in a given period of time. For instance, a video player would require a high-speed system. Limeworks' Pulse Jet is a LIN-based system, as the majority of hot rods don't use high-speed devices, mainly requiring only lights and motors to be turned on or off. The advantage of a LIN system is that the parts are relatively inexpensive, as the OEM manufacturers buy so many of them. It's recommended that you don't try to interface with old trans and engine modules with this system though, as they are higher data rate devices.
The big advantage of using the Pulse Jet over a regular wiring harness is that you'll be able to accomplish wiring a car in less than a day, rather than the week it can often take, and having wired cars from scratch in the past, we can only see that as a good thing! Wanting to see the Pulse Jet in action, so to speak, we followed along as Limeworks proprietor Steve Dennish installed the first preproduction system in his own '32 roadster, just days before the Grand National Roadster Show.

The kit is simple in the extreme, though of course the technology is inside the modules. The main module is shown at right, while the two black boxes with the wires are the front and rear modules. These were prototypes, the production modules being much smaller as you'll see.Another benefit of using the Pulse Jet wiring system is that smaller gauge wires than usual can be used, such as 18-gauge for the power feed to the main module and the communication wires to all the modules. The power feed to the front and rear is 12-gauge, while 20- and 22-gauge wire is used for everything else. For those not familiar with wire gauges, here's 22-gauge wire compared to a quarter (the higher the number, the smaller the wire).Here's the main module, and again, this is a prototype; the green connectors are shorter on production versions. This module is mounted behind the dash, or elsewhere in the interior, the power, ground, dash, ignition, and communication wires all connecting to the side nearest the camera, with the horn, fan, headlight, turn signal, and any other switches wired into the far side. Think of this module as like the fuse box in a conventional system and you're halfway there, though of course you'll need a fuse box in addition here, too.In addition to thinner gauge wiring, this system allows you to use thinner gauge power and ground cables on the battery, which itself can be smaller than usual. This is due to the power management feature built into the Pulse Jet control. When the starter is active, the system shuts down all the other active large loads, such as headlights. This helps control the total load the electrical system has to handle. Steve used an Odyssey PC925, and you can see how much smaller it is than a normal battery by the size of the battery box. And yes, it will be secured before use, though it is a nonspill design.Steve fabricated this aluminum plate to mount the main module and a small fuse panel on the inside of his firewall above the steering column. As you can see the main module is very compact, measuring 4x2x1 1/2 inches.Still on the inside of the firewall, Steve opted to use braided wire for the engine harness for a period feel, wrapping it with wax cotton rather than wire ties or plastic spiral wrap for the same reason. Though not part of the Pulse Jet wiring, it's a nice touch.As a comparison to the minimalist wiring of the Pulse Jet system, here are the huge bundles of wire that a "normal" aftermarket wiring harness consists of. Feeding these to each end of a vehicle is time-consuming and can get confusing once they're no longer wrapped in tidy loops......as can be seen here. All these wires have to be routed to the front of the car for high-beam, low-beam, and parking lights, turn signals, horn, and the fan. Wouldn't one wire plus a power feed be simpler?This is the front module on Steve's roadster, mounted under the radiator on the front crossmember, hidden behind the grille shell. The yellow wire is the single LIN wire from the main module, while the red wire is the power feed from the battery. Once these are run to the module, the remaining wires branch off from here to the lights, horn, etc.
The rear module is mounted on an aluminum plate in the rear of the trunk, below the latch. Again, a single yellow LIN wire and a battery feed are the only wires routed to the module. A small fuse panel is also located here, as well as a relay for the fuel pump. This is a power relay, but ground relays can also be used with the Pulse Jet.Lights, camera, action! With the modules mounted and wires run, it's time to check the circuits. Wiring using the Pulse Jet system is much less of a chore than using a regular harness, and both ends of the car were completed in just a few hours. Oh, and if you wondered where Steve got that cool license plate light from, you'll have to ask him!Soldered joints are more reliable than crimped connectors, and as Steve was tackling this task, we thought we'd include it. Here he's soldering the end of a braided wire, heating it with a soldering iron and applying flux core solder to the bare wires.Employing the same process again, the connector is slipped over the end of the tinned wire, heated with the iron, and once hot, solder is fed into the joint.Neat, tidy, and ready for years of service. Unlike a crimped joint, there's minimal risk of a soldered joint working loose over time.To protect and insulate the bare wire and connector, Steve applied shrink wrap to the joint. This is supplied in tube form, and heating it will cause it to shrink to fit. It can be heated with a heat gun, but passing the soldering iron over the wrap without actually touching will also cause it to shrink.

The Two Brewers has stood in the centre of St Andrew Street in Manchester for 102 years.
At the time it was built the area was going through a time of rapid change. Before it had been a quiet rural area - in fact St Andrew Street is an old path through the woods that grew here - the trains brought an influx of persons to live and work in the city.
Famous people include poets, artists, actors, writers, painters and sculptors. It became a bohemian centre. You can find out more about Manchester elsewhere on the internet.
Since then the pub has passed from owner to owner on many occasions. It's had good times and bad times but currently its owners see the future as looking very bright as the pub goes on to establish itself as Manchester's premier venue for live music.
But The Two Brewers is much more than music. It's also one of the best alehouses around with a really nice and relaxed air and some of the best real beer in town.

Watch out: Vikings are conquering our boroughs—but be hungry, not afraid. Welcome to the New Nordic food invasion. The cuisine rose to worldwide attention in 2010 when Denmark's Noma grabbed the number one crown from Spain's El Bulli in ratings by Britain's Restaurant magazine, and it quickly gained traction in NYC. Noma's cofounder, Mads Refslund, is executive chef at NoHo's stellar Acme, where the crowd seems to dress as though it's Fashion Week year-round. Back in 1987, the noble Aquavit laid the groundwork and still feels as modern as ever today thanks to its young Swedish chef, Marcus Jernmark. Further putting Scandinavia on the map, Fredrik Berselius's Aska is the only New York City eatery to make Bon Appétit's 2013 list of the top 10 new restaurants in America. And now, the City's first ever Nordic Food Festival is coming, taking place October 2–7. To become more versed in this hyperlocal, hyperseasonal movement, read on.

Any candidate is better than Shelly Moore(-Capito). Apples rarely fall far from the tree and let's never forget that her father ended his career in disgrace, convicted and disbarred. She is also a panderer to the extractive industries that have cost this state so much in terms of cost to infrastructure, foregone economic opportunities and cost in lives.
Mr. Baxter has been responsible for job growth in Wheeling and is the head of one of the 25 largest law firms in the US. As such, I'd say he has far more legal and business acumen than almost any other conceivable candidate of either party. Orrick certainly promotes values of fairness and equality. If those are considered radical values by anyone, then that person needs to reconsider his or her ethical standards.

Hi all,
like now I'm trying to synchronize my tb with the last lighting add-on (0.8) and the just-installed zimbra (zcs-5.0.9_GA_2533.DEBIAN4.0.20080815215219)
After some tries I see, with a packet sniffer, that tb when update the remote calendar receive an incorrect response to REPORT query. After some searches I see that there are already a bug (the 26757) that report this behavior and, like I can see, it's already closed/fixed on the "5.0.5_Franklin". It's not yet integrated into the current, stable, version or I missing something?

Yep you nailed it. Full moon they will have been feeding at night. The best chance to see one is early mornings and late evenings.
Have any of yall found a connection between moon phases are success with mule deer? It would seem to me that under a full moon, the deer could see better at night and would be less likely to be around during the day. So I'd guess that the dark of the moon would have them showing themselves more during the day. But I have no evidence to back this up. Anyone have any evidence?
Yep you nailed it. Full moon they will have been feeding at night. The best chance to see one is early mornings and late evenings.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
I think most would say that the mornings after a full moon are better since they seem to stay bedded longer in the evening before they get up to start feeding and then may be out longer before bedding the following day. However, it's basicly somewhat of an old wives tale about them seeing better in a full moon because there have been many scientific studies that show they can see just as well or better in the dark of the moon as we can see during the day. I always check to see what the moon phase is in any given year for when I'll be hunting and I stay out longer in the morning, but I definitely don't base my actual hunting days of whether I'm going or not on it.
I have a strange theory that has no backup other than "I think".
If you are hunting a relatively small area that borders areas that hold deer, I believe a full moon may help you. I have this idea that animals may cover more ground at night when they can clearly see, and you may have animals in your area in the morning when you get there. I think this is true of elk for sure, but I am not certain it applies to deer so much. Just one of the weird ideas that go through my head.
I am a firm believer in hunting a dark moon for deer and elk. I even try to anticipate the hunting seasons out 5 or 10 years and compare that to the moon cycle for those dates, so I can draw on years with a darker moon and closest to rut dates.
Let's put it this way, i have never heard anyone complain a hunt was more difficult than they anticipated on a dark moon, yet have heard numerous complaints when hunting a full moon.
For elk, a year ago a well known elk producer gave me a full moon strategy I am looking forward to trying out.
I'm with you 100% on those thoughts UH, except for the looking 5-10 years down the line because at my age I'm just looking at the upcoming season and hoping I'm still around for it, LOL!!!
I know with whitetails that the full moon does affect time of movement. Last year in Nebraska most of the big bucks I saw were extremely early (first ten minutes of legal light) and mid-day. We were hunting during the full moon phase. I would believe you could conclude similar behavior patterns with mule deer. The big difference being their bedding habits. Whitetails look for heavy cover and most mule deer I have hunted are found in more open areas. Bottom line the moon phase is less of a worry when I hunt mule deer. If I was planning a trip and I had the choice I would go with a darker moon phase period to go.
Based on my experience I like hunting the first and last quarter moon phases. Peak movement seems to be morning and afternoon. New moon and full moon seem to make the deer move at midnight and midday. Weather and especially barometric pressure seem to be the most consistent indicators on whether deer will move or not.
I've always been a believer of the moon phase effect on deer, but, I just started reading Hunting Open Country Mule Deer by Dwight Schuh (good read recommended on another thread here by other forum guys) and he pretty much calls BS on it. Not sure what I think still but it gets me thinking that maybe I tend to overthink the small things.

New on the Renovation Report…
More stadium seats – dugout plaza level – have been removed as construction continues at Kauffman. In addition, as we drove into work Friday, we couldn't help but notice this huge crane sitting just north of the stadium. Will the Crown Scoreboard be down when we return next week?
With construction kicking into full-speed, we wanted to alert any of you who might need to conduct business out here that entrances and access to certain parts of the stadium will be restricted. Within the next week, visitors will be rerouted – signs will be posted – to certain parking lots and entrances, including the administrative offices. Safety, of course, is our number one priority.
In other non-renovation news…Promoting their book Tales from the Royals Dugout, Denny Matthews and Matt Fulks will have a discussion/book signing Friday from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble in Independence, Mo. (19120 East 39th Street). Stop by and say hi, if you get a chance.
5 Comments
It would be very cool if there was a link to more pictures (a gallery) of the work in progress. During the Sprint Center construction, there was a link to a live cam of the construction in progress 24 hours a day. Why not do that with the work going on at The K?
I can not wait until all the renovations are completed! I am so excited for my city and my royals!!!
It will be sad to see the crown board come down, but such is the cost of progress. I hear sometimes other teams (Mexican leagues or minor league teams) will buy old MLB scoreboards… is this the case with the crown board or will it just be demolished?
As always, thanks for the update and I hope you're able to get pics of the board coming down.
I too will miss the old crown scoreboard and hope you can post some pics of it coming down. I really appreciate you taking the time to capture and post the renovation pictures. The image quality and what they capture is top notch.
I think Kauffman Stadium is the most beautiful stadium in MLB. When I enter the stadium, my heart still races like it did when I was a 10 year old entering it for the first time in 1973. Thanks again for keeping us updated.
Found this info today, "two cameras – one inside the stadium facing toward the outfield and one outside the stadium pointing toward the main entrance – will be installed by the end of this month, giving fans 24-hour shots of the changes taking place. By going to royals.com, fans will be able to access the cameras and control the angles and views directly from their own computers." I'm really looking forward to see more pics and following the progress here. Thanks for the updates.

Robert Di Pietro's 1931 Model AWritten by on February 1, 2002 Bringing A Dream Car To Fruition
On a late summer afternoon in 1958, 13-year-old Robert Di Pietros life was changed forever. It was on that day that Robert got his hands on the September 58 issue of R&Cand right there on the cover was Gil Granuccis 31 Model A coupe. Robert had found his dream car, and the course was set.
By the time he reached the age of 15, Robert had already procured a 31 five-window of his own for $75. Not content to create a basic highboy coupe, Di Pietro immediately set about channeling the A to mimic Granuccisno small task for a teen without experience or proper tools and living in Quebec. The floor was cut out with a Vise-Grip used like a can opener; according to Robert, The jagged cuts are still there. A floor was made from plywood (also still there) and the coupe was on its way. The adolescents resourcefulness was amazing; after scoring a Deuce frame for $15, he pulled the coupe off of the A frame, replaced the body with a roadster pickup shell hed acquired, and traded the functioning Model A for a set of used acetylene torches.
A 47 Ford was purchased for another $15 to donate its mechanical bits. In those days, you could buy late-40s Fords for next to nothing, and then you had all your mechanicals: engine, trans, * rearend, spindles, and brakes, says Robert. He put the 47 gears in a 39 case, but before the flathead ran, it was replaced by a Chevy 283, which was mated to the Ford trans with an adapter from Honest Charley.
Later, a hotter 327 would be installed, and after going through numerous gearboxes and rears, Robert upgraded to a Corvette T10 four-speed and 57 Chevy rearend. By 1966, the 327 had high-compression pistons, a big solid cam, an aluminum flywheel, and 1,500-cfm worth of dual-quads in an effort to stay ahead of the musclecars. Then, in 1972, the coupe was parked to raise a family. It resurfaced in 1985 with a street-rod revamp, seeing 70,000 miles of travel. In 2000, Robert decided to return it to its roots; it once again became a late-50s/early 60s Northern California hot rod.
So did the image of Granuccis coupe truly alter Roberts destiny? It should come as no surprise that he opted to pursue an education in engineering, and today hes president of an engineering firm in his native Quebec. Thankfully, he never let go of his inspiration.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The current small-block is the same '65 327 that Di Pietro ran in the late '60s, though the ported heads, high-compression pistons, and radical solid-lifter cam have been replaced with tamer componentry. Flat-top pistons with stock 2.02 heads yield 10.0:1 compression, and the vintage Edelbrock X-Ram mounts a pair of Carter AFBs offering, as Robert puts it, "a mere" 1,000 cfm. An MSD electronic distributor replaces the vintage Mallory dual-point unit (though it's on standby for full nostalgia effect) and the lakester-style headers (fabricated by Robert) run under the car, through Walker glasspacks, and out the back. Neat carb scoops are California Custom Accessories with wire-mesh filters.The axle is the same hammer-dropped unit installed to the original '32 crossmember in the early '60s, using the '31 spring and the uncut '32 wishbone. Spindles and brakes are '47 Ford with Buick drums, and the tube shocks are Volkswagens mounted to the frame with Dodge truck brackets.The rear fenders on Granucci's cover car were reworked Model A pieces, so Robert fabricated his to mimic the look. He tells us he made a frame from 3/8-inch rod, then welded sheetmetal over it to create the bobbed fenders. The wide rear track was intentional; as Robert explains, "We wanted to have the look of really wide tires like racing slicks, so we ran regular tires on fat rims and had the wheels made to stick out to create the illusion."
The interior probably shows the most contemporary touches. The seats are '64 Mustang, upholstered in tan and mocha leatherette (Morris Minor buckets were used the first time around). The dash is a stock '32 Ford piece fitted with Haneline and Autometer gauges with Antique Beige facing. The LeCarra banjo wheel mounts a '59 Olds column base, mated with a '54 Ford truck column, and the tach hanging from it is an Autometer unit housed in a homemade cup and bracket. All switches are hidden under the dash. The shifter is a Hurst Competition Plus, connected to a Borg-Warner T10 and an Ansen cast-iron scattershield.The unusual wheels were purchased through the aftermarket in the early '60s. Robert relates that they were advertised briefly in magazines of the day, sold under the name Tacoma, and designed to take '34 Ford caps and rings. The fronts are 15x5s and the rears, 15x8s, mount Commander bias-ply wide whites.

Has Jelena Jankovic decided to switch places with Ana Ivanovic?
The Serb, who began this year as the WTA Penthouse resident, continued her Serbian Slide and was shocked by Kaia Kanepi in straight sets 6-2, 7-5 in the Dubai third round, following Svetlana Kuznetsova + Dinara Safina out the door. The Estonian will now meet Sveta conqueror, Elena Vesnina, for a spot in the semifinals.
This disappointing result can be piled on to her strangely lethargic fourth round exit in Oz at the hands of Marion Bartoli and a semifinal defeat in Paris to Amelie Mauresmo where she lost the last set 1-6.
So what gives?! Like sister Serb Ana, it seems JJ has had difficulty dealing with the pressure of being a World No.1 as evidenced by the collapse of her game this year. It takes a mental shift to go from the huntee to the hunted and mental giants these ladies are not.
Ana, though, is beginning to rise up from the doldrums (good news) but it's taken her almost a full year to get even a little bit of confidence back (bad news). Will it be the same for JJ? After these recent bad losses, it wouldn't surprise me.
PS - Justine Henin + Kim Clijsters would be fools, FOOLS I say, not to come back now. It would be like stealing candy from a baby!

Seems like bulking up didn't do too much for JJ's game... She's not really moving too well and somehow lost her fire. Hell! She doesn't even bring the drama anymore! When JJ is not bringing drama to the court you know something is wrong!ReplyDelete
And YES!! JuJu and Kim HAVE to come back! They would be on top of the rankings in no time!
maja: Yeah good point Maja! She's starting to take everything so seriously and not having fun. It's like once they hit the top spot, they stop having fun.ReplyDelete
Where are the crazy outfits, the smiles? I'd even take a hint of glitter!
If those two Belgians came back they'd easily take these ballers - no prob.
Good gravy marie, what is going on with the Serbs? Is it in the water? What's going on with ANY woman who holds #1 for a day? Tsk. Tsk. I'm starting to think if I fix my forehand, *I* could be number one...and I'm twice all these girls' ages.ReplyDelete
As for the Belgian twins coming back, dream on. I'd love to see it, too, but it's time to move on. We're stuck with the mess that is the women's game.
Actually last year, the only person who won a title while holding the number one ranking besides Justine WAS Jelena. So I don't think it was the pressure to be honest. Girlfriend has always loved the spotlight.ReplyDelete
I didn't see this match but I think it's more her game than anything else.
natch: yup good thing we have ReRe at number 1, someone who could actually handle the pressureReplyDelete
jadefoxxy: correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't ana technically no.1 when she beat jj in the semifinals of roland garros? if so then she would count as a lady baller who was no.1 and then won a title, a Grand Slam no less. And i'd say that was a pressure match in the final having become no.1 and then needing to perform in the final.
it's the consistency that's missing - they can get there and win a title but then it's a quick sinking Serbian ship!
But I can't stand Serena. Iirc, she fell quickly out of the #1 spot, too last year. Now she's injured, or something...so I think she has yet to prove she can handle the pressure. I'm not saying she can't, I'm just saying she hasn't yet. So the women's side is still a mess (for me, at least.)
But historically speaking, ReRe knows how to handle the pressure - I mean, she won four Slams in a row and was No.1 for more than a month or two. I think her career record speaks for itself.ReplyDelete
Besides the only lady ballers who've even sniffed that feat are Justine '07 and Amelie '06 when they won 2 in a year and Justine when she made all 4 Slam finals in 2006.
There's no doubt in my mind ReRe CAN handle it. I think at this point in her career she's not as focused on staying No.1 - she just wants to win the big ones.
Rich, what I meant was someone who won a title AFTER obtaining the number one ranking from whatever tournament she's playing. As in after obtaining the number one ranking, Ana lost in the third round at Wimbledon, her first tournament as the top baller.ReplyDelete
When JJ obtained the number one ranking the first time, she lost in the Olympic quarterfinals to a red hot Safina. When she obtained the second time however, she won her next tournament which was Moscow as the number one player.
And yes, last year, Serena after winning the US Open and getting the number one ranking, lost the first match she played as the number one player and played like crap for the rest of the year. Sure she's number one again, but one can ever truly tell with Serena.
I think Justine must've cursed the number one ranking or something, lol!
What exactly would Justine coming back prove? She was beaten soundly by Maria at the AO when she left. She was humiliated by Serena 6-2, 6-0 the last time they played when they were both healthy. Dinara beat her and so did Francesca. So umm ... she'd come back to more beat downs. Even in her best year she shared two slams, so I don't get it.ReplyDelete
Kim, loved her but she was a headcase. I'm sorry, but the same players that are there now are the same players that were there when Justine retired. They didn't import a fresh crop after she left.
Just saying ... and hmm, no comment on Jelena's "classless" comments? "I beat myself, I gave it to her. She didn't have to do much."
jadefoxxy: got it! but i give ReRe full credit for her past feats. Sure, she was flight then and even flightier then, but she was dominant.ReplyDelete
pamela: uh, everyone has bad losses for sure. no argument there. and yes those happened right before she retired. but to say that those losses are a future predicter of her game if she were to come back is reaching IMO. anyone who wins 7 Grand Slams clearly has a great game and could win again, barring injury.
plus, to see her versatility mixed in with all the boring bashing would be a relief.
as far as the comments, i haven't read them yet. they sound ReRe-style snarky. feel free to include a link!
Of course everyone has bad losses, what I was getting at is that it was very highly unlikely that she'd duplicate her fantastic 2007 and she would have fell from grace trying to defend all of those points.ReplyDelete
Can I post the link here? Sorry if you didn't mean here:
We mustn't forget that 2007 wasn't the only year that Justine won two slams; she did the same in 2003 near the height of Venus and Serena's careers.ReplyDelete
Yes she lost some matches badly in 2008 but after 2007 her retirement was pretty certain in her mind, she had lost pretty much all of her motivation so they don't count as much. Even if they did, if she came back and never won another slam, I would be happy. To see her versatility her talent and most of all her oh-so-rare one handed backhand would be enough for me. That's one of the reasons I was so excited when Amelie won in Paris.
P.S. How sad is the women's game that simply seeing a one-handed backhand would make me giddy?
>>But historically speaking, ReRe knows how to handle the pressure - I mean, she won four Slams in a row and was No.1 for more than a month or two. I think her career record speaks for itself.<<ReplyDelete
To me, it means all she cares about is slams. She cares when she wants to, then she wins. She essentially only has to care for two weeks at a time. I'll just have to agree to disagree with you on whether or not she can handle pressure.
Pamela: thanks!ReplyDelete
Sara: I'm dying for Carla Suarez Navarro to really develop and hoping Amelie sticks around and plays well. PPPPPlease!!!!!
natch: HA! True enough about ReRe.
*high fives natch*

It all depends on the size... if it's small then sure! If it's like 100MB+ then no basically.
It all depends on the size... if it's small then sure! If it's like 100MB+ then no basically.
hi guys in step 14. Windows_BTN+R (run) - type cmd.exe
what we have to do? did you mean to open a cmd prompt? or some tricky stuff to do and thanks for all the great work you did hacked2123
Yeah, I meant this guide to be ultra newb friendly. Didn't want to say run the command prompt or run cmd. Just press buttons and type what I say and all the thought process should be gone (I wished). Anyways I still will be modest and say I haven't done much. If I do complete another guide it will be screen capture/picture aided. No confusion that way
Alright I stayed up all night working on installing UDF 2.5 on linux. I was unsuccesful, but what I did accomplish is gaining a full under standing of how the kernel recompiling works. The problem ended up being the patch rather than me (its not the patch above, trying that one next)
Anyways I figure this one out there wil be yet another guide, and I haven't installed VLC yet either so that will be in brackets. If PS3News will host the file (I expect it to be no more than 60Mb) the guide will be for fresh YDL 5 (no updated kernel) and will be as simple as unzip this with this command type this, then this, then this, then this.
The results of UDF 2.5 support on YDL 5 for PS3:
Support for the XBOX-360 external HD-DVD drive on the linux
Mountable blu-rays
---this means conversion times to get it to XMB or play it in Linux will take no more time than the time to decrypt it (+50 min if you are going to XMB (split and encode) )
---no more "dd if..." for backing up your bluray
The recompiling of the kernel will take time (on your end) though, even if I can take the 'effort' out of it.
i have trouble with step 4, somehow the command does not work for me.
if u have any ideas on what im doing wrong, plz reply me....
This works.
I'm a linux newb. Can someone tell me how to make the image file go to my external drive instead of my PS3 hard drive? My PS3 drive only has 4 gigs left so it can't handle the space of Blu-Ray. Thanx.
[Those Things That Beavers MAKE!!!!]
I was looking at the date on the make of the above listed UDF 2.5 patch, it matches the date I had. When I attempted to install the modules after I created the vmlinux I get an error on the linux/fs/udf/inode.c that says what I interpreted as "you can not have code and comment on the same line, the standard says so".
I'm going look code and see if I correct it, this is way out of my league (I am very close to being a linux newb), but yea, get back to you soon
Hello, sorry for the late replay but i think you dont have to create a whole new kernel. Simply create a new udf module with this patch inside and replace the current udf file (its located under /lib/modules/"kernelversion"/fs/udf) and reboot or try "rmmod udf and than modprobe udf"
As me write before me dont have an ps3 but thats the way how it works under an PC Linux (Suse) so maybe the patch are a bit diff.
If it works on PC then it will work on PS3 from what I have learned from my experience.
The only thing I am thinking about is that the *.patch I used modified 4-5 files.
Yes thats normal but after making the new module all needed parts should be in the created udf module.

Yes, yes, this is very, very good indeed. A little dark for my taste, but hey, still pretty darn good. Did I mention its good? Because it is... good, that is.
And here it goes! I had a lot of fun working on this map.
It's definitely in my top 3 favourites so far, and i seem to be settling into my own style more and more. I did make use of the automatic forest generator for this map, I still say that's one of the best tools that's hit the forum (Thanks to Fluesopp and Ramah) and I also borrowed the outlined town/city/castle designs from Ramah. The compass/scale/border/heraldry designs were taken and/or modified from royalty free vector collections, everything else was custom drawn for this map. And for those who are interested in such things, I used the font "Viner Hand" at a variety of sizes and settings. The other inspirations I had besides my own imagination are too numerous, so I will end off by saying thank you to the guild as a whole.
The version I'm loading to this thread is a 50% scaled down copy, the original is 6600x4800. The original in all it's glory can be viewed two places -
My DeviantArt gallery, and the Zoomified version on my own hosted space
(the second might be an easier version for some, you don't need to wait for the whole thing to download before it's viewable).
Also included in this post is a cropped selection of the fullsize view for those who might not want to leave the site, this way you can see how things should look at fullsize

Another Top DUI Cop under Investigation in Chicago
In Illinois, the Cook County state's attorney's office has moved to dismiss dozens of DUI cases. This surprising action came after a second Chicago police officer was accused of framing drivers to boost DUI arrests.
Nearly a year ago, another Chicago police officer was charged with perjury, official misconduct and obstructing justice.
Officer John Haleas was accused of failing to follow proper procedure during a DUI arrest in 2005. It was alleged that Haleas failed to perform field sobriety tests and lied in his police report of the arrest.
Cook County prosecutors dropped more than 50 DUI cases that were products of Haleas' DUI arrests.
Haleas was honored on three occasions by the Schaumburg-based Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists as the officer with the most DUI arrests in Illinois. The criminal case against him is still pending.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, Officer Joe D. Parker has been given a desk job at the station while an internal police investigation of the DUI arrests he made is conducted.
Parker, 59, is a 23-year police veteran and works in the Chicago Police Department's Traffic Enforcement Unit. The Cook County state's attorney's office is also investigating Parker.
However, this is not the first instance in which Parker has been accused of making false DUI arrests.
In 2005, Parker reportedly arrested Vanessa Davis, a well-known blues singer who suffers from multiple sclerosis, for suspicion of DUI. After the arrest, Davis suffered severe anxiety, which caused severe medical complications.
Davis filed a lawsuit against the City of Chicago for wrongful arrest. Her lawyer claimed that because of the arrest she had to be hospitalized for a few days. The city paid Davis $100,000 to settle the lawsuit.
The current investigations into Parker's conduct began after it was noticed his account of a DUI arrest on a police report was disproved by a review of the dash cam video from his squad car.
Wayne Jackson has filed a federal lawsuit, claiming that Parker also wrongfully arrested him for DUI.
Jackson was driving home from work in 2006 when Parker pulled him over. He was given a field sobriety test and claims that he passed; however, Parker wrote on the arrest report Jackson was swaying and slurred his speech.
Jackson also says he passed a Breathalyzer test, but on the arrest report Parker indicated he had "attempted to circumvent" the machine.
Like Haleas, Parker was honored by the Schaumburg-based Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists for making 153 DUI arrests in 2006.

It looks nice. I do wonder if the angle on the two rear square towers is correct? The roofs/Parapets look slanted to the inside of the city to my eye. The wall to the right of them blends into the roadway quite a bit also.
The one thing I would definitely add is farmland to feed the hungry masses, something to supplement all the fish in their diet.

Trucking news: ATA reports April tonnage is up 9.4 percent year-over-year
June 01, 2010
The American Trucking Associations recently reported this week that its advanced seasonally-adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index was up in April for the sixth time in seven months, rising 0.9 percent. This comes on the heels of a 0.4 percent March gain.
April's increase put the SA at 110.2 (2000=100), following a 109.2 March reading, which at that time was its highest reading since November 2008.
The ATA said the SA was up 9.4 percent year-over-year, marking the fifth straight year-over-year gain and its biggest since January 2005. The ATA added that for the first four months of 2010, SA tonnage was up 6 percent compared to the same timeframe a year ago. This is a better beginning to the year than 2009, when the 2009 SA was down a revised 8.7 percent (previously reported 8.3 percent), which marked its largest annual increase since a 12.3 percent decline in 1982.
The ATA also reported that its not seasonally-adjusted index (NSA), which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by fleets before any seasonal adjustment, hit 111.3 in April, which was down 4.4 percent from March. On an annual basis, the NSA was up 1.7 percent.
As defined by the ATA, the not seasonally-adjusted index is assembled by adding up all the monthly tonnage data reported by the survey respondents (ATA member carriers) for the latest two months. Then a monthly percent change is calculated and then applied to the index number for the first month. Some industry analysts maintain that the not seasonally-adjusted index is more useful, because it is comprised of what truckers haul.
ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said in a statement that April's tonnage fits with a sustained economic recovery for myriad reasons.
"Truck tonnage volumes continue to improve at a solid, yet sustainable, rate," he said. "Tonnage is being boosted by robust manufacturing output and stronger retail sales. For most fleets, freight volumes feel better than reported tonnage because the supply situation, particularly in the truckload sector, is turning quickly."
And on CNBC's "Street Signs" and the Transplace Shipper Symposium earlier this year , Costello explained that over the course of the recession the trucking industry got "pummeled," with overall volumes falling about 25 percent, which led to less of a need for truck drivers and people working in the industry. But as recent tonnage reports show, Costello said things are indeed picking up and leading to some optimism for the future. This is due, he said, to the economy picking up and the inventory cycle-which was down in 2008 and 2009-is having "slight positive impact on freight volumes." Another factor for growth is domestic manufacturing, which leads to several truck movements associated to that production compared to an import, noted Costello.
What's more, the supply-to-demand ratio in trucking is starting to even out, which will boost volumes even though a sizable amount of capacity has left the industry since its 2009 trough due to bankruptcies, low truck orders, and fleet size reductions, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Justin Yagerman.
Trucking serves as a barometer of the U.S. economy, because it represents 68 percent of tonnage carried by all modes of domestic freight transportation, including manufactured and retail goods, according to the ATA. The ATA notes that it hauled 8.8 billion tons of freight in 2009, and that motor carriers collected $544.4 billion-or 81.9 percent-of total revenue earned by all transport modes.

Chapel Hill, NC -- North Carolina's flagship public university is seeing a change at the top.
Holden Thorp's last day as chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is Sunday. Carol Folt takes over on Monday. The former Dartmouth College interim president is getting $520,000 a year plus benefits.
School spokeswoman Karen Moon says Thorp's family this week cleared out of the campus home provided to its chancellors.
Thorp also cleaned out his office and headed to California for a committee meeting on promoting a safety in academic laboratory research.
Thorp is moving to St. Louis to become provost at Washington University.
Thorp decided to resign last year after his leadership was marred by a string of scandals involving academic fraud, improper travel spending by fundraisers and special treatment for athletes.

Product is as described. Very strong construction. Fits suit very well, folding attachments great for hanging gloves or hood with suit. Would recommend.

Farmer John compliments jacket to make a very good complete wetsuit. The size comes very close to the sizing chart. Legs were a little long with kneepads lower than optimal, but Im shorter than most at 55". Little extra space in the legs, contour could have been a little better. An alteration fixed the problem. A very good purchase without first trying it on. Would recommend.

Jacket fits as described in reference to sizing chart, it is comfortable to wear and has good contours for a very nice fit. Thickness is just right to keep you warm without restricting movement, zipper works very well. Would recommend this product.

Cucumbers and Gherkins like warmth, so they prefer a sunny, sheltered position. If you have a greenhouse, this is perfect, but Spalding also has varieties that are suitable for planting out in the open. The cucumber is a climbing plant, and it can also be grown in a pot on the patio with a suitable support. The seedless fruits can either be eaten fresh or pickled. Sliced or diced cucumber can be pickled just like gherkins. See below for the Bakker Spalding range of cucumbers and gherkins.

Greetings From Florence
Each day a member of the Iowa State women's basketball team will write a blog detailing our adventures in Italy. In today's blog, junior Kidd Blaskowsky details our first day in Rome, Italy. To follow along on our journey even more closely, please follow @CycloneWBB.
Today we left Rome and headed to Florence. It takes about four hours to get there. Most of the team and I have been resting because yesterday after dinner we wanted to leave Rome with a bang! So we stayed up late, talked to each other, and played games.It was good to see the team chemistry start to grow so early in the year.
Rome was awesome, now heading to Florence🇮🇹
— K_Blaskowsky15 (@K_Blaskowsky15) August 15, 2014
Surprisingly, when I woke up from my nap on the drive to Florence I saw sunflowers and a small corn field, for a second I thought we were back home in Iowa.
We arrived in Florence, we are currently staying in a very nice hotel called the Grand Hotel Baglioni and right across the street from the hotel I got a slice of pizza with some of the team. Pizza is about the only food I have been eating since our first day in Rome!
During our Tour of Florence we came across the fifth-biggest cathedral church in the world. My eyes started hurting from looking so high at the church. We also went to a museum called Galleria Dell'Accademia and saw famous art work from Michelangelo along with other famous artists. Florence is well known for their wine so after the tour we went wine tasting at Enoteca Ponte Vecchio and learned about a verity of different wines.
I'm so glad the team and even some fans came on this trip. We really have gotten to know each other much better and have done some exciting things that not only bring us close together as a team, but more so individually. There is no other team I would rather be on, the respect each one of us have for each other has grown since the day we stepped foot in Rome. Of course I miss being home in Ames and spending time with my family in Texas, but I feel just as at home with this amazing team, fans and coaches. I'm so blessed to be here and experience Italy for the first time.
This is an amazing experience for myself, the team, and coaching staff. We are enjoying every minute of our time here and we play in our first "match" as the Italians would say tomorrow.
Go Cyclones!!!
