Alexander Piggee

Alexander Piggee allegedly walked into a Gamestop store at the Roseville Galleria this morning, and ordered the store’s employees out. He then proceeded to start a small fire. At first it was believed that the mall’s fire preventive sprinkler system had put the fire out, but apparently that was not the case.

Piggee reportedly brought a gun into the mall when he entered, and was detained by police. He is now in Roseville City Jail.

The Westfield Galleria at Roseville is located on Galleria Blvd. in Roseville, CA.

Concept 1 Shoe

While visiting the Athletic Propulsion Labs website this morning, the first main headline you see says, “Banned By The NBA – Warning: Products that appear on this website are intended to enhance athletic performance and the NBA has banned APL shoes for the 2010-2011 season.”

It obviously appears that APL is using this latest news to their advantage. The Concept 1 shoes come in 2 colors; white and black. They sell for $300.00 and are available in size 8 through 14. According to the Athletic Propulsion Labs’ website, the Concept 1 shoe weighs a mere 15 ounces and is made from some of the most “technologically advanced materials ever seen on a basketball shoe”.

The website then goes on to describe how the shoe is designed to give basketball players an advantage in jumping:

“The patent-pending Load ‘N Launch™ technology is implanted in a cavity in the forefoot of the basketball shoe and is designed to provide an instant improvement in vertical leap.* The device works in conjunction with the high-performance materials of the outsole, midsole, insole and sock liner to create a performance experience unlike any other basketball shoe.

Carbon fiber look synthetic upper materials are ultra-lightweight
Load ‘N Launch™ forefoot device designed to increase vertical leap instantly
High-Rebound, carbon fiber wash EVA midsole for superior cushioning and energy return
Crystal rubber outsole for long-lasting performance and visual appeal
High-grade Thermoplastic Urethane shank for heel-to-forefoot stability and shock absorption
Load ‘N Launch™ sock liner featuring rebound EVA, APSPOX and Poron for maximum comfort, shock absorption and performance.
High-impact EVA insole for maximum comfort and cushioning
Clear window on outsole makes technology visible”

According to the founders of the company, Ryan and Adam Goldston, close to 30 percent of NBA rookies were interested in the Concept 1 sneaker. However, it doesn’t appear as though those players will get to wear the sneakers this season. The NBA released the following statement on Tuesday:

“Under league rules, players may not wear any shoe during a game that creates an undue competitive advantage”

According to some reports, the Concept 1 shoe can increase a basketball players vertical leaping ability by up to 3.5 inches. When talking about a competitive league such as the NBA, 3.5 inches added to a players vertical jump would be quite significant. It could be the difference in grabbing a rebound, or blocking a potential game winning shot.

As for what this latest ban will do for Athletic Propulsion Labs’ business, it is hard to say. More than likely, it will help the company make more sales, since they are in essence getting a whole lot of free publicity. Sure, they will lose sales to NBA players, but they should gain new clients from those wanting the edge in other leagues.

Would you buy the Concept 1 shoes?

Happy Sweetest Day

The holiday was first started back in 1921 by candy makers. It was an opportunity to give candy to the poor, elderly, orphans, and not so well off individuals in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

Even though Sweetest Day is celebrated mostly in the North Eastern United States and around the Great Lakes, people from all over the country celebrate it as well. Sweetest Day is known as a holiday in which you show affection to people in you life who you like or love.

One could look at Sweetest Day as a holiday very similar to Valentines day, but for friends, and family as well as lovers. Gifts given on Sweetest Day are usually similar to those given out on Valentines day. People usually give their friends and family candy, flowers, and greeting cards.

So remember, if you have some people in your life that you really couldn’t live without, surprise them with a little gift Saturday (October 16, 2010) for Sweetest Day.

Happy Bosses Day

While, a lot of people wish to get their boss something really nice on the annual holiday, experts say that it isn’t the greatest of ideas.

What should you do or get your boss on Bosses Day?

First off, the whole idea for the holiday is to respect and thank your boss. When it comes to purchasing a gift for your boss, you are probably better off just buying him/her a card. Most holiday card stores do in fact carry cards for the holiday. A simple card, and either a box of candy, or a low priced flower arrangement should do the trick.

What you don’t want to do is purchase extravagant gifts for your boss. It only makes you look as though you are trying to kiss up to him/her. Unless you have a really close relationship with your boss, just stick to something cheap and easy.

Another idea for Bosses Day is to group all of your co-workers together and go in on one large gift. This makes it appear as though you are working as a team, and no one is trying to kiss up. Your boss would probably prefer this, both because it involves team work, and because it will be one large gift that will probably be more useful than a box of candy.

Remember it is the thought that counts, and this is especially true on this holiday.

The McRib Locator isn't needed

The famous McRib sandwich was first released close to 30 years ago in 1981. It was a big hit in some regions, and not such a big seller in others. However, since 1981, the sandwich has been making temporary returns at some regional McDonalds Restaurants. It hasn’t ever been sold nationwide all at once. The sandwich had become so rare at one point, people were driving up to 12 hours in order to get their hands on one of the tasty McRibs. One fan even create a website called the “McRib Locator”, which allowed people to enter the locations that were currently selling the hard to get sandwich. The website is still up, although there have been problems accessing it today due to a high amount of traffic. The McRib Locator can be seen by clicking here.

Even though the McRib is considered to be a boneless bbq rib sandwich, in fact it really isn’t. The sandwich really consists of ground pork, pickles, onions and barbecue sauce, served on a McDonald’s roll.

The sandwich has made some returns over the years since 1981. In 1994, it was brought back and tied-in with “The Flintstones” movie. In 2005, McDonald’s announced that they would be permanently removing the McRib from their menu. With that announcement, they also announced a website dedicated to fans of the McRib that wanted it brought back.

In 2007, a McRib farewell tour brought the sandwich back to the United States. Then again in October of 2008, another farewell tour brought it back again. It has been brought back a couple of times since, although it has not been available at every store nationwide.

On November 2, the sandwich is planned to be sold nationwide. There may be no need for the McRib Locator any longer.
