this wiki
Aside from the Skarloey Railway engines that work there, the Blue Mountain Quarry is a home to a selection of road vehicles.
Steam Shovels

There are a number of steam shovels that work at the quarry. They are painted blue and orange and have the quarry logo on their sides.
Dumper Trucks
|Dumper Trucks
A few dumper trucks work at the quarry. Some are coloured orange and blue while others are painted almost exactly like Max and Monty.
Tanker Lorries
|Tanker Lorries
A couple of tanker lorries can be seen at the quarry. These presumably bring fuel for the machines that work at the quarry. They are painted orange and blue and bear the quarry logo on both their cabs and their tankers.
Soft-sided Lorries
|Soft-sided Lorries
These Soft-sided Lorries are just like the normal Soft-sided Lorries, except they are coloured blue and orange and carry the Blue Mountain Quarry logo on their sides.
The Bulldozers usually work at the spot where the Skarloey Railway engines tip their loads of slate ready for it to go into the crusher. It is the job of the bulldozers to push the slate from the drop-off point into the crusher. Like the other vehicles, they are painted blue and orange and carry the quarry logo on their sides.
One of the bulldozer's number plates is "GLV 0914".

Sony planning a big announcement at the end of the month
Is it the first showing of the PS4
Sony has announced a mysterious event for the end of the month with a short and exceptionally cryptic trailer.
The 45 seconds of video shows flashes of a device close up and images of the PlayStation's four face button icons.
It promises that they will be making a big announcement of some kind on February the 20th.
Could this be the announcement of the PlayStation 4? I guess it might be a good idea to head over to the announcement's dedicated website on February the 20th at 6pm for answers.

Sprayed it on my boots walking to my stand, with a couple shots at the bottom of my stand. Had a nice older buck come in nose to the ground. Got spooked when I moved to get a good line and ran off. Then right back on the scent and came in at 25 yrds. Arrow flies, and he only went 40yrds and piled up. Good stuff!
by Anonymous on November 1, 2014
Just a few sprays and the bucks were everywhere. Three bucks within 30 yards. Awesome
by Anonymous on November 18, 2013
I would agree regarding the can color. How much would it cost to make the can non reflective. The product inside worked very well for me as it always have . I like the new delivery system and the results. Can Tink's use a flat paint. I spend a lot of effort to not be noticed in my stand. Moving a white can with a metal bottom

This year, BedandBreakfast.com is putting a twist on the contest, looking for sweet breakfast recipes that will satisfy the 'sweet tooth' of BedandBreakfast.com's Facebook® fans.
In the past two years, sweet beat out savory. In 2013, the winning recipe was the Lemon Soufflé Pancakes with Blueberry Compote from the 1851 Historic Maple Hill Manor Bed and Breakfast in Springfield, Kentucky. In 2012 (the in augural year), the Bittersweet Chocolate Waffles Topped with Mint Butter Cream and Strawberry Sauce from the Lyttleton Inn in Littleton, Mass. won first place.
"Breakfast is the signature amenity of B&Bs, which are always excited to show off their culinary excellence," says Matt Laessig, general manager of BedandBreakfast.com.

Inns are invited to submit their favorite sweet breakfast recipes by Friday, February 14. The BedandBreakfast.com Best B&B Breakfast Tournament contest works in brackets, much like the NCAA Basketball®'s March Madness®. BedandBreakfast.com will narrow the entries to 32 finalists whose recipes will be reviewed and ranked into the Sweet 16 by guest food and travel media judges. Judges will select the 16 finalists based on uniqueness, creativity and appeal.
Starting March 27, BedandBreakfast.com's Facebook fans will vote on their favorites, with the recipe in each bracket winning the most votes moving on to the next round of eight, four and the final two, which will battle it out in a "sweets to beat" showdown on April 6. BedandBreakfast.com will announce the winner on April 7.
To participate in the BedandBreakfast.com Best B&B Breakfast Tournament, bed and breakfasts must be a member of BedandBreakfast.com's comprehensive directory website of more than 12,000 B&Bs and inns around the world.

Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party 2 Review
Get your dance on with a worthwhile DDR sequel for Wii.
The Hottest Party flavor of DDR is distinct in that it brings two major innovations to the hallmark mat-stomping madness that defines the series: hand gestures and gimmicks. Hand gestures simply require you to shake the Wii Remote or Nunchuk in time to the music, essentially adding two inputs to the standard forward-backward-left-right stepping, while gimmicks artificially increase the difficulty of a song by doing such things as spinning arrows, making them appear late, or littering the dance patterns with power-downs. You can disable either of these if they aren't your bag, but these additions turn the familiar DDR gameplay on its ear and provide an exhilarating new level of challenging chaos.
Ironically, depending on your expectations this chaos may also be the game's weakest suit. For a first-timer DDR player, anything above the beginner and basic difficulties can provide a slaughterhouse difficulty curve that frequently leaves you panting and sweating at a fail screen (even in Workout Mode, where failure shouldn't be an option). The game's new Dance'n Defend battle mode is also positively nightmarish. Moreover, the game randomly interrupts with dance challenges that unlock new songs, some of which are among the toughest I've ever played. Just keep in mind that you have to go slow before you can go pro.
Difficulty aside, Hottest Party 2 succeeds in several areas where last year's version fell short. The music selection contains fewer generic tracks even if the licensed songs aren't really standouts, and most tunes are well suited to the game even if they aren't suited to your specific tastes. The fully choreographed dances for each song (as opposed to the lazy random dancing in other DDR variants) also reach a new level of f'ing cool when you unlock the ability to use your Mii as your dance avatar and outfit it in a variety of gear. To top it off, the steady pace of worthwhile unlockables in the Groove Arena mission mode rounds things out with a rewarding sense of progress from even short play sessions. A tweak here and there and this party is way hotter.
With a long-running series like DDR, it's a risk to mix up the core gameplay that made the franchise a success. But with this year's tweaks and music refresh, DDR Hottest Party 2 is definitely stepping in the right direction. The DDR series sometimes seems to be on its last legs, but this time around I just have to give them a hand.

Completely aquatic and gilled throughout life. Among mudpuppies and waterdogs (genus Necturus), this species is medium-sized. All mudpuppies and waterdogs have bushy external gills, two gill slits, a laterally compressed tail, and four toes on front and hind feet. Necturus beyeri is brownish dorsally and lighter brown ventrally. Numerous dark brown to blacks spots can be seen on the dorsum, sides, and venter. Adults are 16-22 cm total length. Sexually mature males can be distinguished by the swollen cloaca and pair of enlarged cloacal papillae that project posteriorly. Hatchlings are mottled with a few light spots dorsally. Hatchling size is 13-16 mm snout to vent length (Shoop 1965). Juveniles are spotted and do not have stripes as seen in N. maculosus. Description primarily from Petranka (1998).
Sympatric with N. alabamensis in some localities, but these species differ in body shape (near cylindrical in N. beyeri vs. flattened in N. alabamensis), ventral coloration (presence vs. absence of spots), and microhabitat use (living in streambank burrows, and frequently active in the water column vs. shelter under rocks or debris, active on the bottom) (Neill. 1963; Bart et al. 1997).
The systematics of Necturus in general, and N. beyeri in particular have been problematic. Some authors have doubted that the Alabama waterdog (N. alabamensis) is a separate species from the Gulf Coast waterdog. Although they co-occur in some areas, these forms are apparently distinct in microhabitat preference, morphology, and with respect to genes (Neill 1963; Guttman et al. 1990; Bart et al. 1997). See Petranka (1998) for discussion.Necturus beyeri, N. alabamensis, and N. maculosus are relatively closely related (Guttman et al. 1990).

La Pedrera information
This undulating beast is another madcap Gaudí masterpiece, built in 1905–10 as a combined apartment and office block. Formally called Casa Milà, after the businessman who commissioned it, it is better known as La Pedrera (the Quarry) because of its uneven grey stone facade, which ripples around the corner of Carrer de Provença.
Pere Milà had married the older and far richer Roser Guardiola, the widow of Josep Guardiola, and clearly knew how to spend his new wife's money. Milà was one of the city's first car owners and Gaudí built parking space into this building, itself a first. When commissioned to design this apartment building, Gaudí wanted to top anything else done in L'Eixample.
The Fundació Caixa Catalunya has opened the top-floor apartment, attic and roof, together called the Espai Gaudí (Gaudí Space), to visitors. The roof is the most extraordinary element, with its giant chimney pots looking like multicoloured medieval knights. Short concerts are often staged up here in summer. Gaudí wanted to put a tall statue of the Virgin up here too: when the Milà family said no, fearing it might make the building a target for anarchists, Gaudí resigned from the project in disgust.
One floor below the roof, where you can appreciate Gaudí's taste for parabolic arches, is a modest museum dedicated to his work.
The next floor down is the apartment (El Pis de la Pedrera). It is fascinating to wander around this elegantly furnished home, done up in the style a well-to-do family might have enjoyed in the early 20th century. The sensuous curves and unexpected touches in everything from light fittings to bedsteads, from door handles to balconies, might seem admirable to us today, but not everyone thought so at the time. The story goes that one tenant, a certain Mrs Comes i Abril, had complained that there was no obvious place to put her piano in these wavy rooms. Gaudí's response was to suggest that she take up the flute.

Fort LeBoeuf falls to Class AAA state wrestling champ Canon-McMillan
WATERFORD -- Fort LeBoeuf's wrestlers recorded 18 points against Canon-McMillan on Monday.
That total was a season high for the five District 10 teams that faced the Mighty Macs, the two-time defending PIAA Class AAA champions.
They weren't enough, though, as Canon-Mac prevailed 40-18 in its rare appearance in northwestern Pennsylvania. The District 7 wrestling power improved to 12-0 overall, thanks to victories in its last five matches against the Bison (5-2).
Each of LeBoeuf's losses came on its home mat over the past four days. Reynolds, District 10's reigning Class AA champ, beat the Bison 34-19 on Friday.
LeBoeuf coach Tim Simon naturally was disappointed with those back-to-back losses, but only in a short-term sense. They'd be worth it, he said, if they help the Bison perform better by the postseason.
"Our weaknesses have really been exposed the last two duals," Simon said, "but as a coach, that's really what I wanted to see. I wanted to find out what we really need to work on to beat the (state's) best teams. These last two duals really pointed that out."
The Bison never led Monday's dual, although they were within two points of the lead after Abe Guarriello's victory at 106 pounds. When Guarriello pinned Canon-Mac's Justin Celento in 1 minute, 15 seconds, he pulled LeBoeuf to within 20-18.
But that turned out to be the Bison's last win, as the Mighty Macs won the next five matches. They included a 25-10 technical fall for Dalton Macri, the state's top-ranked Class AAA wrestler at 126, and an Isaac Miles pin in the dual's 138 finale.
Each team competed without its regular 145 entrants.
The Mighty Macs were without senior star Solomon Chishko, who has missed several weeks with a knee injury, while LeBoeuf's George McGuire sat out Monday with the flu.
Canon-Mac completed a regular-season sweep of its District 10 opponents. The Mighty Macs previously beat Meadville, Cochranton, Greenville and General McLane.
Canon-Mac coach Jason Cardillo said it's difficult to schedule non-region duals because of the team's required District 7 schedule, plus its tournament commitments.
If Cardillo has his way, though, future appearances in this corner of the state would not be so rare.
"When you wrestle the same teams over and over again," he said, "it's nice to get out of your bubble. You've got so many nice teams up here, so it's great to get some outside competition."

However, I was fortunate enough to be invited by the hometown LCSC Warriors to get in the cages and try to re-live the glory days...let's go to Harris Field.
I love baseball, and as a guy who grew up playing everything but baseball, I found a whole new appreciation for the game when the Lewis-Clark State Warriors graciously invited me to one of their practices to jump in the cage and take a little batting practice.
Now I've casually practiced with youth teams before, but this is the second ranked NAIA baseball team in the entire country. After a few words of encouragement from Head Coach Jeremiah Robbins while I held my back like an old man, I stepped in and swung away...I was making good contact! The ball was traveling quickly and this football player of five years was feeling pretty confident on the diamond. With a sparkle in my eye, I asked coach for an honest grade.
"A little bit below average," said Robbins.
Oh...but...I was making contact!
"Your approach was good, your technique was absolutely awful," said Robbins.
Okay so my form is terrible. I've known this for years. I must have done something right.
"I liked your mentality though, so that was above average though, you didn't back away from it," said Robbins."I think you would make a lot of coaches proud, a lot of guys would get in that cage and be a little bit shy, So, it was good."
"Pretty good, yep...pretty dang good," said Kyle Blackwell. "Absolutely. I think we gotta get you in here a little bit more and brush you up faster, you're an athlete so..."
That's a good start...for feedback, I asked what my strengths in the cage are.
"Your size and strength was good," said Robbins.
"You're strong, your definitely strong," said Blackwell.
And the fun part...weaknesses...
"You like to drift pretty good, you don't get behind your front side, other than that it was alright," said Blackwell.
"I think your biggest weakness was that you played five years of football and not five years of baseball," said Robbins.
And as I venture deeper into the world of slow pitch softball, I ask what I can do to prepare for that.
"I think you're going to need a private instructor like Alan Balmer to do some lessons with you," said Robbins.
Private lessons it is. As much fun as I had hitting with the Warriors, it put more than just a smile on my face. I felt the pride that the Warriors feel everyday as they step to the plate with the intention of putting runs on the board every time. I felt how much fun this team has on a daily basis. All I can really say about this phenomenal program is that I am grateful for getting the chance to feel the Warrior pride that I hear so much about...and you've made a new fan for life."
The real Warriors will get on the field for their first game of the 2014 Avista NAIA World series this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. to play the winner of Friday's game between number seven seed San Diego Christian and ten-seed Cumberland.

AntoineCoyote 6 years ago#1
Age 2 - I am captivated by Super Mario bros, Duck Hunt, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES
Age 5 - I receive my first SNES. I'm hooked to the Donkey Kong series and Yoshi's Island like crack. Despite highly enjoying Super Mario RPG its slightly bit too complex for me at the age to fully enjoy the game (along with Breath of fire)
Age 9 - I use my birthday and Christmas money to buy an N64. Aside from Starfox 64 and Rare's catalog my selection of Nintendo first party titles is limited. Also highly enjoy Rogue Squadron.
Age 12-13 - After viewing Gamecube's launch titles I become disheartened. I am growing up and am becoming interested in intense action, badassery, and violence. I am turned off by the likes of Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Super Monkey Ball etc. Rogue Squadron 2 is the only title capturing my eye. On the other hand PS2 can play CDs, DVDs, and has Medal of Honor, Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry, Grand Theft Auto 3 etc. Nintendo has failed to bring me back for another gen and I turn to a PS2. I have wandered astray from the flock.
^ above view intensifies and I become increasingly infuriated with the announcement of the Wii and how it appears to be a joke console.
Oh, how I have fallen astray from my old hero Nintendo, but the other day with the announcement of the 3DS my spark of hope was reignited. What's this they say? A 3D DS with graphical capabilities on par with the Gamecube? And what more? A slew of N64 remakes!? Super Mario 64? Zelda OoT!? Paper Mario? And a Resident Evil and MGS title! I generally bash Nintendo for their paltry remakes and rehashes (oh please a basic port of Pikmin to the Wii with nothing added but waggle controls?) but that hit me hard with a Nostalgia bomb.
Hard enough for me to forgive my child hood heroes for alienating me with their Wii Musics and Wii sports and gimmicky waggle controls and infinite yearly releases of Mario Party. So here I am, follow Ninten... whatever we call fans of Nintendo... to announce that Nintendo has reclaimed a lost son :D
@!#$% the P O W you're staying here to play kick ball god damn it.
Get a Wii. Not being fan-boyish, but it has a bunch of games for the nostalgia factor. As well you can get those few gamecube games you wanted for it.
But many hardcore gamers are loving the 3DS for this reason. It's just delivering to the older gamers.

Not me yet. Sold my DS earlier this year because the games (putting up my flame shield) were crap, and my Wii collects dust for the most part. Games are expensive too.

I don't really get it. I am an older gamer and have fond memories of those old games they are remaking too. But what is the big deal? I played those games millions of times already over 10 years ago. I would rather have new content. I would like to own these remakes sure, but the price better be right is all I have to say.
AntoineCoyote (Topic Creator)6 years ago#5
^ Well I never played Zelda OoT and only ever got half way through with SM64. Those will still be at least half way new to me and I never played a Paper Mario and haven't played MK since N64. And having seen footage of that MGS3 game, pretty impressive graphical capabilities.

Paper Mario isn't a remake, it's a new game.
At least that's my understanding of it. And yes, all the remakes and what not have me pumped for the 3DS too.

Super Mario 64? Zelda OoT!? Paper Mario?
That was for the regular DS. And Paper Mario is a new game. But yes, I too am excited.

Just saying, you're not the only one to dislike these. Games like Wii Music and Wii Sports are aimed at a different target group. Let that Wii Sports collect dust, and Wii Play is just a little gimmick. It's the same with the DS. There are tons of My Pet Pony and Animal Paradise out there, but who cares?
Just get the games you care about (for the Wii that's going to be the likes of New Super Mario Bros, Smash Bros: Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy 1&2, Donkey Kong Country Returns) and forget about all the "Family Games". That's what everyone else here does, too.

Referring principally to ESL, Frodesen and Holten (2003) state that "grammar is indisputably an
essential element of second language writing instruction, but the ways in which it is integrated
with other components of writing courses have varied" (p.141). In one intervention study of an
intermediate Spanish content course, the effects of grammar supplementation and error
correction feedback on writing were explored (Frantzen, 1995). While the results suggested that
a grammar review is a beneficial addition to a content course, there were no significant
differences between groups in terms of their scores on writing samples. In addition Reichelt
(2001) noted design flaws in Frantzen's study: no real control group, the same topic was used for
both pretest and posttest writing samples, and the overall quality of writing was not measured.
Also confounding the results is the fact that both a daily grammar and error correction feedback
on written work were involved. Thus, there is a need to further the understanding of language
researchers and pedagogues as to the effects of explicit grammar practice on intermediate
university-level learners' composition.
The role of the teacher. Further complicating the teaching of writing in foreign language
settings is the fact that many language teachers do not consider composition instruction a
primary part of their responsibility (Kassen, 1995). Also, teaching and improving writing are
time-intensive endeavors. Part of the writing process is revision, feedback, and editing. A teacher
can be overwhelmed trying to give assistance and feedback to each student. Due to the fact that
curriculum in first and second year language instruction primarily focused on pronunciation,
vocabulary acquisition, learning grammatical structures, and culture, often there is little emphasis
on writing and certainly not in-class writing. As well, class sizes are often larger than ideal due
to increased enrollments, particularly in Spanish. Given these conditions, providing personalized
assistance to individual students can be difficult. The lone teacher is simply not able to provide

BEIJING - A severe food shortage has crippled the United Nations feeding program that sustains North Korea's most vulnerable and undernourished people, according to Masood Hyder, the U.N. humanitarian aid coordinator and World Food Program representative in Pyongyang.
He said his organization now can feed fewer than 100,000 of the 6.5 million people it normally does, many of them kindergarten-age children and pregnant women who cannot get what they need to stay healthy from the country's distribution system.
The food shortages are likely to be a side issue as North Korean, U.S., South Korean, Chinese, Russian and Japanese diplomats meet in Beijing on Feb. 25 to discuss North Korea's incipient nuclear weapons program and respond to its demand for formal security guarantees and more economic aid.
The talks' atmosphere - hope of cooperation with Kim Jong Il's government or more confrontation over his nuclear program - is almost certain to affect how nations react to the food crisis and chronic shortages that have made the international feeding effort a long-term necessity, an Asian diplomat in Beijing noted.
"Certainly, the current political climate does have a bearing," Hyder said in a telephone interview from Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
Japan, for instance, used to provide 300,000 tons of food a year but has stopped shipments because of disagreement with Pyongyang over Japanese citizens abducted and taken to North Korea for training as spies in the 1970s and 1980s, the diplomat recalled.
South Korea and China run government-to-government aid programs for North Korea, outside the World Food Program, but the level of their current shipments is not known.
Hyder estimated that such aid is roughly equal to the multilateral aid administered by the U.N. agency for the neediest people.
The last shipment arrived in North Korea in September, when South Korea sent a boatload of maize, Hyder said.
The next shipment, 38,000 tons of maize from the United States, is due at the end of March, he added. The six-month break has dried up a supply chain crucial for more than a fourth of North Korea's 23 million people, particularly those not given the benefits of the million-strong military and government employees.

PHILADELPHIA The annual Black History and Culture Showcase is a weekend gallery for the unsung keepers of the past.
They are collectors who display slave shackles from a warehouse museum in Port Richmond or travel to exhibits telling the story of the Colored Hockey League of Canada. And the Easter season showcase is a time to present what they've spent years gathering to an audience primed to know more about black history.
Both sides came together Saturday at the Convention Center for the first day of a two-day event that this year is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
"Our subject matter touches on everything," but each exhibit is linked by the timeline of black history, said showcase founder Everett Staten of Philadelphia. This year, the theme is the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a milestone some call the 20th century's most important piece of legislation.

All-Pro Football 2K8
|All-Pro Football 2K8
APF2K8 official PS3 cover
|Visual Concepts
|2K Sports
|Take-Two Interactive
|PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
|Release date(s)
All-Pro Football 2K8 (abbreviated as APF2K8) is a football game for seventh generation consoles and the spiritual successor to the ESPN NFL 2K series. APF2K8 is the first football game to be published by 2K Sports since EA Sports purchased exclusive licenses to the intellectual properties of the NFL and NFLPA. John Elway, Barry Sanders, and Jerry Rice appear on the cover.
All-Pro Football 2K8 features a fictional league called the "All-Pro League", or 'APL'. The APL consists of 24 teams that are grouped into six divisions of four teams each. The league runs a sixteen-game schedule and holds a championship game at the end of the playoffs, similar to the NFL.
Since the exclusivity deal the NFL has with EA only covers active players, 2K contracted the individual rights to over 240 retired NFL players to appear in the game.[1]
Even though there are no NFL teams in the game, the player can still create teams that resemble their NFL counterparts. A Create-a-Player feature allows the player to add in players that were not included in the roster.
While the game includes teams representing St. Louis and Las Vegas, neither of which have an NFL team (St. Louis had an NFL team at the time the game was made, but as of 2016, does not any longer), there are no teams representing Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Nashville, Indianapolis, San Diego, or New Orleans—all cities with real NFL teams. Cleveland and Cincinnati are both represented by one team representing Ohio, and only one team represents the San Francisco Bay Area instead of two. Green Bay is not represented, but a city nearby, Milwaukee, is instead.
Many of the teams in the game have one or more aspects that are veiled references to other elements of popular culture. While some link to sports teams past and present, others refer to TV, films, cars, comic books, American history and even Native American tradition.
- New Jersey Assassins – The team plays at DiMeo Stadium, named after the DiMeo Crime Family. The crime family is the one Tony Soprano works for on The Sopranos. The Sopranos is set in New Jersey. Possibly a reference to the New York/New Jersey Hitmen of the XFL.
- New York Knights – Possibly a reference to the WLAF team, or the baseball team from the book and movie, The Natural. The team plays in a stadium that the game says was designed by G. L. Costanza, a reference to the Seinfeld character, who always wanted to be an architect.
- Boston Minutemen – Thinly veiled reference to the New England Patriots.
- Washington Federals – Possibly a reference to the former USFL team of the same name.
- Detroit Firebirds – A reference to Detroit's nickname of 'The Motor City' and the Pontiac Firebird automobile. For many years, the Lions played at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan.
- Pittsburgh Iron Men – Possibly a reference to an early name used by the Steelers, circa 1940. Pittsburgh is known for its steel and iron industries. The city's real life NFL team is named the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Iron Men play at "Steel Mill Park", which is constructed of over 30,000 steel rivets. However, the team's colors are similar to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- Ohio Red Dogs – Possibly a reference to an early NFL team known as the Canton Bulldogs and the former AFL team known as the New Jersey Red Dogs, which eventuality relocated to Cleveland. The Cleveland Browns have a section of fans known as "The Dawg Pound." The primary color of the Ohio State Buckeyes is red. It is fair to say that the Red Dogs are a nod to Ohio area sports culture.
- Carolina Cobras – Possibly a reference to the former arena football team of the same name. They play in a stadium called "The Extensive Enterprises Stadium". Extensive Enterprises was a front company for the Cobra Organization in the G.I. Joe comic book and animated series.
- Tampa Bay Top Guns – Possibly a reference to MacDill Air Force Base, which is in Tampa.
- Atlanta Wasps – The in-game stadium is named "Van Dyne Field", which is a reference to Janet Van Dyne, the superhero Wasp. Additionally, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets make their home in Atlanta.
- Miami Cyclones – A reference to the vast amounts of hurricanes in Miami, and the Miami Hurricanes college football team.
- Chicago Beasts – Their home stadium is named "Wolfram & Hart Stadium" after the law firm Wolfram & Hart in the TV series Angel.
- Milwaukee Indians– In many Native American tribes, Milwaukee means meeting place. This could also be a reference to the Indian Packing Company, the namesake of the Green Bay Packers.
- Seattle Sailors – A reference to the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball.
- Minneapolis Werewolves – A reference to the Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA.
- Denver Cougars – veiled reference to the mascot of the NBA's Denver Nuggets, Rocky the Mountain Lion. The mountain lion is also known as the cougar.
- Dallas Gunfighters – Veiled reference to the Dallas Cowboys and USFL's San Antonio Gunslingers.
- St. Louis Rhinos – A reference to the NFL's Los Angeles Rams, who played in St. Louis at the time.
- San Francisco Sharks – Their home stadium is called "Amity Stadium", named after the town Amity in Jaws. Presumably named after the San Jose Sharks hockey team.
- Los Angeles Legends – Their home stadium is called "Miller Gold Stadium", presumably a reference to the HBO show Entourage and the Miller Gold Agency that is run by Ari Gold and Barbara Miller.
- Las Vegas Rollers– A reference to the many casinos in Las Vegas.
- Texas Rustlers – A clear reference to the Wild West, which sports teams located in Texas often go for.
- Arizona Scorpions – A reference to the ABA team, "Arizona Scorpions"
- Philadelphia Americans – Philadelphia was a key meeting point for the Founding Fathers of the United States; the Declaration of Independence was signed there in 1776. The city is often referred to as 'The Birthplace of America'.
The game received generally positive reviews from critics. The gameplay of APF2K8 is very similar to the game play of Visual Concepts' previous title, ESPN NFL 2K5. However, All-Pro Football 2K8 has received criticism by many because of the game's lack of features previously made possible by way of the NFL license.[13] Most notably, the lack of a multi-season Franchise Mode as seen in competing titles such as Madden NFL 08 and NCAA Football 08 is a large omission, given ESPN NFL 2K5 contained a similar Franchise Mode. 2K Sports and Visual Concepts chose to omit a franchise mode because since the game revolves around the use of legends from different eras, they felt there would be no rational way for the legends to develop or age, therefore a franchise mode with aging no-namers and immortal legends would be non-sensical. Unfortunately, 2K failed to consider that simply starting the legends off at their draft ages would've resolved the supposed issue; the failure to see such a solution was but one of many highly criticized blunders the 2K sports development team made with All Pro Football 2K8.[14] As of October 3, 2007, APF 2K8 has a score of 74/100 on Metacritic[15] and 75% on Game Rankings.[16]
O. J. Simpson controversy[edit]
In a court ruling, O.J. Simpson was ordered to pay the family of Ronald Goldman any money made for his appearance in the game. Simpson was found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman in 1995, but was found legally responsible for their deaths by a civil court jury two years later.[17] During pre-production of the game, Simpson was a member of the in-game team called the New Jersey Assassins. Players on the team perform a throat slash as a touchdown celebration, and the animatronic mascot for the Assassins will make a slashing motion. Some pre-release videos showed Simpson performing these moves, implying to some that the designers were intentionally referencing the murders. However, in the retail version of the game, Simpson was moved to the Cyclones.

New Brighton is a coastal suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the east of the city center. In the 2013 census, New Brighton had a population of 2,442. At the heart of the suburb is the New Brighton mall, which once was the suburb's primary shopping and entertainment precinct. After the Christchurch Earthquakes, this area was significantly damaged.
New Brighton is one of Eastern Christchurch's main entertainment and tourist centers with its architecturally unique pier and its scenic coastline being the suburbs best known features.

The naming of New Brighton was apparently done on a 'spur of moment' decision by William Fee, an early settler of the area. When Guise Brittan, the Waste Lands Commissioner, visited the area in December 1860, he was recognised and Fee chalked 'New Brighton' on a wooden plank, supposedly in reference to his fellow settler Stephen Brooker, who had come from New Brighton in England.[1] The Māori name for the area is Kaiuau (kai means food and aua is Yellow-eye mullet)[2] or O-ruapaeroa (an east wind blowing along the shore).[1]
The suburb is frequently referred to simply as Brighton, occasionally leading to confusion with Brighton near Dunedin.
New Brighton Pier[edit]
There have been two piers in New Brighton. The first pier, of wooden construction, opened on 18 January 1894 and was demolished on 12 October 1965. The current concrete pier was opened on 1 November 1997.[3] It is one of the icons of Christchurch. The pier will close for earthquake repairs later in 2016, and is expected to reopen in early 2018.[4]
The suburb is divided into three sections spread along the southern coast of Pegasus Bay: North New Brighton; New Brighton; and South New Brighton, which lies at the northern end of a narrow peninsula between the bay and the Avon Heathcote Estuary. A 300 metres (980 ft) pier was built here in the 1990s, and opened on November 1997.
New Brighton was originally a distinct coastal village, separated from the then outer suburbs of Christchurch by the swampy areas adjoining the Avon River. However, urban expansion, land reclamation and drainage have led to Brighton being swallowed by Christchurch city.
The current attractions of the area include:
- A sandy beach, with good surfing, stretching 18 km from the Waimakariri River mouth in the north, to the spit in the south
- New Brighton's Seaside Market - Every Saturday from 10am to 2pm with a variety of stalls offering handmade crafts, local produce and nice food stalls, held in the pedestrian part of the New Brighton Mall by the New Brighton Project.
- Swimming with (summer) surf-club-supervised areas
- birdwatching at the spit: godwits migrate from this area and their return is something of a local event
- cycling, walking, orienteering, geocaching in the extensive plantation areas which abut the northerly beach, and (of course) on the beach itself
- 4WD driving (permit required) in the extreme northern beach area
- Pier and Council library on the foreshore, in Central New Brighton
- The New Brighton and Districts Museum, located on Hardy Street
- Restaurants and art/craft-related shops: in growing numbers
- Home of the first surf life saving club in New Zealand established in 1910,[5] also North Beach Surf Club to the north and South New Brighton Surf Club to the south
- Rawhiti Domain - with a Christchurch City Council-run golf links, tennis courts, dog park, rugby fields, cricket ovals, netball courts, community carden, archery club and children's play area
New Brighton host a variety of free public events largely during the Summer period, targeting residents of Christchurch as well as other domestic international tourist.
Speight's Coast to Coast[edit]
Staged every February, the annual Speight's coast to Coast race finishing at New Brighton. Every years the event tracks thousands of spectators to watch the athletes complete the daunting challenge and cheer them on. The race coincides with the weekly New Brighton markets which occur every Saturday selling food, art, clothing and injecting life into New Brighton. Along with the markets the race brings in music and entertainment such as a fireworks display on celebrate the finishing of the race as well as life screening of the athletes progress through the race.
New Zealand Sand Castle competition[edit]
Held in February annually, the national sandcastle competition attract people from all over Christchurch and even New Zealand to witness some of the amazing sand castles build by specialist and regular people just wanting to have fun.
Kite Day[edit]
Held in January annually, Kite Day attracts thousands of people throughout Christchurch and injects life and activity into New Brighton. Kite Day itself features a wide range of unique and stunning Kites.
New Brighton day[edit]
Every February annually, Happy New Brighton Day is one of the largest community events held in New Brighton. The event attract as many as 10,000 people throughout Christchurch and provides a vibrant atmosphere of music, entertainment, markets and more.
Guy Fawkes[edit]
In November annually, Guy Fawkes attracts well over 10,000 people to witness a stunning display of Fireworks on the New Brighton Pier as well as a lights show off the pier and music.
Saturday trading[edit]
For several decades, New Brighton had the distinction of being the only place in Christchurch where general retail shops were permitted to open on Saturdays[6] (remaining closed on Mondays), and the business district thrived as a result. With the introduction of nationwide Saturday trading in 1980, and then seven-day trading in 1990, retail activity declined significantly.[7][8]
Public transport[edit]
A variety of bus routes connect the city centre with New Brighton. The Metroinfo website[9] has further information.
As of 2015 there are four operating primary schools in New Brighton. This includes New Brighton Catholic and Rawhiti beach campus in central New Brighton, South New Brighton primary in the south New Brighton and Rawhiti QE2 base in North New Brighton.
By the end of 2018, two new high schools replacing Shirley Boys and Avonside girls are expected to be completed in North New Brighton. Rawhiti beach campus are Rawhiti QE2 base are expected to merge into one Rawhiti school, located in the old North New Brighton primary school site.
Sport and recreation[edit]
A number of well known sports groups represent the local area. Some of the most notable groups are the New Brighton Rugby club. the New Brighton cricket club and the New Brighton Olympic Athletic club. Other groups include the Christchurch Archery club and New Brighton long boarders club.
Christchurch earthquakes aftermath[edit]
In December 2012 residents held a protest against the perceived slow progress of rebuilding in the area following the region's damaging earthquakes, in which 80 people bared their bottoms.[10] Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said he wasn't offended, but the residents were "wrong". These feelings of neglect by the Christchurch City Council would continue to persist. Groups such as the Peoples independent Republic of New Brighton was formed by Paul Zaaman, The New Brighton Businesses and landowners association spokesperson, in order to protest lack of investment by the Christchurch City Council into New Brighton.
New Brighton was also named to be the host the finish of the annual Speight's Coast to Coast multisport race in February 2015. The previous finishing point of the race was in Sumner.
In early 2015, the Christchurch City Council and the Ministry of Education announced that North New Brighton's QE2 park would be accommodating the new 80 million dollar joint secondary school campus consisting of Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls high schools, along the 39 million dollar Eastern Recreation and sports facility. 2015[11]
