^^I too wonder what Whitlock is doing. If CP had made the same deal that Pioli just completed, then he'd be calling for CP's head (again).

Well, the draft is complete and I'm iffy on it. It's impossible to grade a draft for at least a few years and I refuse to grade it until then. In the end we picked up:

Round 1: Pick 3 DE Tyson Jackson LSU
Round 3 Pick 67 DT Alex Magee Purdue
Round 4: Pick 102 CB Donald Washington Ohio St.
Round 5: Pick 139 OL Colin Brown Missouri (Swoosh will be happy)
Round 6: Pick 175 WR Quinten Lawrence McNeese St.
Round 7: Pick 212 RB Javarris Williams Tennessee St.
Round 7: Pick 237 TE Jake O'Connell Miami (OH)
Round 7: Pick 256 K Ryan Succop South Carolina

We definitely added depth and competition to our defense, the line in particular. Jackson will be solid and will hopefully light a fire under Glenn Dorsey's butt. I like the Brown pick but other than that, I don't really know. We didn't do much to help Cassel and we left some players on the board that I felt, could've helped us. I was much more excited about last year's draft and three players from that class have already been released. So....the jury is still out.

Boy!....We had one heck of a storm roll through here this AM.  It stretched from around I-40 in Arkansas to I-70 in Missouri, moving basically west to east.  Wind has been clocked at 60-90 mph.  Tornado watches posted all over the place.  Lots of trees down, lots of buildings damaged, several schools around the area were hit; thankfully, no major injuries that I've heard of so far.  I thank God that we had no damage at my house, although it blew the deck furniture around. 

I don't go into work until noon, so I don't know of any damage there, but I did get a text message when it went through that the City was under a phase 3 alert, pretty serious.  I'll post tonight if there was any major damage at the park.

I hope all of you out there were safe.

Well...was there ANY damage? I didn't see any signs on saturday..

A couple of trees down, not much else.  A big tree was down in front of the taffy shop (old doll house), and quickly removed.

Some of you might've seen this already if you're on Facebook or you just surf Youtube, but I'll post it in case some of you haven't. It's an awesome recreation of Fire in the Hole with the audio included.

Remember, I did not create this.

^Wow, that's great Coaster!  Thanks for the link!   Someone spent a lot of time and effort on that, and it really paid off.  The only thing missing:  "Here's a barrel of laughs!  Hahahaha!"

[Coaster]

^Yeah, the rest of it was pretty spot on, especially for a game!

I have RCT3 and began building the city square with it, but I never imagined it could appear like this!

[Coaster]

^I've also attempted to recreate SDC and it is impossible to do it justice because of the details.

[rubedugans]

^Obviously the creator has much more free time on their hands than I do! If only I could find a job doing the things I enjoy as hobbies! I have tried it before though, and as soon as a hobby becomes something you HAVE to do as opposed to something you WANT to do, it is no longer fun. But I have successfully created the Wilderness church, and the hotel using Google Sketch-up 3-D software! I'll post a few still photos of them tomorrow.

I don't have a video card on my PC so I haven't been able to play RCT3. But my dad's getting me one before I leave for college. I can't wait to finally get that game. I wanna dl all of hillibilly's parks; s/he has the best Ozarkian parks I've seen

I've had a blast with RCT3, sadly, my first detailed SDC was on my computer that died last year!  I started another, while I have "down" time...

[rubedugans]

With the Free download of Google Sketch-up -a 3-D imaging software- I made the following(Only 2 total models, but i took several views of each exterior)
Hotel






Wilderness Church

^Nice work!

I also wish I had time to play RCT3. It is a lot of fun.

With GPS-enabled cameras and modern stitching software, it will soon be possible to spin around and take multiple photos, move a hundred yards and repeat, and create accurate models of everything.
