Shelley Idaho Demolition Derby 2014 : Consolation/Grudge Match
My apologies for my unconventional way of filming...I #39;m working on a mashup so I tend to zoom in and out when I anticipate a hit or look up from the camera to scan the arena for action.

A Limerick parish priest has described the demolition of houses in the city as sinful given the number of people who require homes.
Fr Tony ORiordan said there was an urgent need for the Government to intervene in the ludicrous house demolition policy of Limerick City Council.
He called for an immediate moratorium on all demolitions, to assess how many houses can be brought back into use.
The policy of demolishing houses in Moyross and other parts of Limerick might have had some justification seven years ago when the promise was to replace demolished houses with new builds, he said.
Fr ORiordan said that more than 400 houses in the Moyross estate had been demolished and there would not be enough homes built to replace them.
This ongoing demolition of housing stock is madness, sinful and must stop, he said.
The demolition of the two houses I witnessed in recent days was not required to make way for any immediate development. Most of these houses were homes up to recently, and with modest investment, many of them could provide a decent home for many families currently homeless in Limerick or on the housing waiting list, he said.
He said the homeless crisis is concentrated in Dublin but is now a problem in most large towns and cities, including Limerick.
Fr ORiordain urged Tnaiste Joan Burton and the Minister for Environment Alan Kelly to demand a moratorium on demolition of housing stock by Limerick City Council until a review can be carried out.

(WHAS11) -- Underground tunnel blasting for the East End Crossing was canceled for this week. There will be no further blasting for approximately four to six weeks.
The temporary halt in blasting comes after debris fell from the ceiling of the southbound tunnel, near the north portal, Friday night.
Although it is not uncommon for small amounts of debris to occasionally shift and fall from the ceiling during the excavation for this type of tunnel, the unusual amount that dropped Friday warrants the installation of additional structural support as a precaution.
Our first priority is always worker safety, and were adding some tunnel reinforcements simply to ensure that safety, Rob Morphonios, project director for WVB East End Partners, the company in charge of the design and construction the East End Crossing, said. Were very glad to err on the side of caution.
Morphonios said that earth monitoring instruments at the site, as well as geologists present during all excavation activity, affirm that the tunnel is structurally sound.
Morphonios said tunnel excavation is about three months ahead of schedule. The time required for installation of additional support structures will not cause the project to fall behind schedule. All surface blasting activities for the East End Crossing project will continue as scheduled.

115303'Obsessive' artist sculpts out of 40 miles of sewing threadGabriel Dawe sculpts 40 miles of sewing thread for his installation piece at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Arts State of the Art exhibit.For more Art Beat: newshour.pbs.org/art2014-09-23 11:29 amdisabledWwU75UymG_Atrue
Dallas artist Gabriel Dawe makes physically imposing and yet nebulous sculpture of thread stretched between points on the ceiling and points on the floor. He creates a multifaceted geometric shape, the color changing like a rainbow as the viewers eye shifts around the form. Essentially a simple concept, like the nail-and-thread art that many children make, Dawe has taken this idea to its extreme. In his words: doing that same idea but in space, and pushing the boundaries of what drawing could be, putting steroids in them.
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, founded three years ago by billionaire heir to the Wal-Mart fortune Alice Walton, curates a nationwide survey of more than 100 contemporary American artists for the exhibit State of the Art. The museum wants to showcase what it calls under-recognized American artists from outside the media centers of New York and LA. Dawe is one of those artists.
Every time I have a new installation, I start a dialogue with the space. I have to take into account architectural peculiarities of the space, and see where I can accommodate the hooks that the thread it attached to, said artist Gabriel Dawe.
Its going to be a structure that is formed completely with sewing thread, a geometric structure that reaches from the ceiling to the floor, in the central staircase, he said, as the project began. I dont know exactly how much thread I am going to be using, but roughly around 40 and 60 miles of thread. The thread is in 16 different shades, and it starts with blue on the outside, edges and angles, to green then yellow.
Dawe uses large spools of regular sewing thread, that he selects in turn based on their color to create his rainbow, that fools the eye into thinking the tones fade without seam or transition into the next.
Photographs dont do the pieces justice, said Dawe. They do make beautiful photographs, but I think with my pieces you have to see them in real life to catch the subtleties. They change as you move round them; they are almost kinetic; the lines really start messing with your depth perception, and it comes to life when you move around it.
