Electric City Go Karts (Strikes and Spares – Mishawaka) Video
by CpU on Feb.21, 2010, under Cars, CpU Videos, Michiana, Reviews, Tubers, Video
While driving passed Strikes and Spares bowling alley, you have probably noticed the big Electric City Go Karts sign out front. If you sitting there thinking, “Electric? How is that fun?” Don’t let the word Electric fool you, they are fast and the course is challenging.
The ride lasted about 3 min and 30 seconds. This was shorter than the 4 minutes promised, which kind of disappointed me. Paying $6.00 for a ride, you’d expect every second out of it…
The cars are monitored by a central device that controls the cars maximum speed or disables them in case of a crash. I noticed on a few occasions that the car would be going slower, then pick up speed in the middle of the race. Accidents and bumping does happen on this track, so caution is necessary. Electric City Go Karts states that you drive at your own risk.

Chris Buehrle Band plays at Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City
by CpU on Feb.14, 2010, under CpU Videos, Michiana, Music, Reviews, Tubers, Video, iPhone
Chris Buehrle (Guitar, Lead Vocals) accompanied by Chris Albanese (Keyboard, Vocals), David Lill (Percussion), and Michael Lee (Bass Guitar) hit up Blue Chip Casino Friday night in this well accompanied crowed in Michigan City. They call themselves the Chris Buehrle Band and they were very impressive…
They slipped in a few of their own songs, while they generally played cover songs through out the night. The vocals set them off at the start, and keep the momentum going with some good up-beat songs.
This is some video taken with my iPhone 3G. I was not expecting to see a good live performance, so I didn’t have my HD camera with me.
So they got the crowd jumping around on the dance floor which stemmed mostly from their choice of music and how they played it in their own style. They followed closely to the classic sound, but made it their own…
I enjoyed them all night, and would love to see this band perform again.
Electronic Cigarette – Are you ready to save $$$ and your health?

“Our number one goal is to provide a safer alternative to those unable to break the grips of their smoking addiction.”
| Pack a Day | Cost Per ($) | Weekly Cost | Monthly Cost | Yearly Cost |
| 1 Pack | $5.50 (avg) | $38.50 | $165 | $2007.50 |
| 1 Cartridge | $1.10 | $7.70 | $33.00 | $401.50 |
| Savings: | $4.40 | $30.80 | $132.00 | $1606 |
I saw this product while walking through University Park Mall in Mishawaka, Indiana. They are located by the food court in one of the center booths. I ended up buying one to replace my girlfriends cigarette and it has worked. She has grown very attached to it, and she’s the very picky smoker that only likes one cigarette… Product passed the ultimate test – function 
I found this product to be built very well, and offering a 2-year warranty means they stand right behind what they say. I like that about a company, and I hope that they do well. I will be posting video of this product soon for people who are not close to their locations to see this product.
A family owned company from Scottsdale, Arizona was founded in 2009 in hopes to spread awareness about safe e-cigarettes and how they can help you by removing the tobacco and bad materials that can cause cancer. They take pride in safety and health as they say they are “the only e-cigarette to laboratory test their cartridges.”
Although the initial purchase is not something to take lightly as the starter kit costs $120.00 at one of their locations.
But if you are going to make a purchase, the Elite Super Savings Combo is your best deal, and they will ship it to you. $199.00 includes everything you need to become an avid Electronic Cigarette smoker. You save $30.00 with this deal.
Now the refills cost $21.99 + Free Shipping online for 20 Cartridges which is considered to be 20 packs of cigarettes. You say, what? That’s a $1.00 a pack… Not possible… Well it claims to be “Puff for Puff”. I have found that it is slightly less then that, but none the less still a good savings.

Anthony Frick – Accused rapist pleads guilty again (South Bend)
by CpU on Feb.02, 2010, under Article Responses, Michiana, Michiana News

“SOUTH BEND — The trial for a 24-year-old man accused of rape has been canceled after he pleaded guilty Monday for the second time.”
Read Accused rapist pleads guilty for second time on WSBT By: ALICIA GALLEGOS, Tribune Staff Writer (Source) |
Anthony Frick plead guilty of rape which will save time on a trial and our tax money…
“Anthony Frick pleaded guilty this afternoon to rape and two counts of criminal deviate conduct, all A felonies, along with impersonating a police officer, a Class D felony.”
Anthony was accused of these charges after an incident where he was intoxicated. Frick impersonated a police officer to gain entry into an elder ladies home. He then attacked, raped, and threatened this 67-year old women with her life.
“Frick faces 60 to 153 years in prison at sentencing, scheduled for March 9.”
Now I knew Anthony about 6 years ago from Penn High School, along with his brother. I guess I would say I would have never guessed that he would do something like this, but things change in 6 years. Reading Anthony Frick’s Myspace Page it talks about Beer and Girls mostly, with a little mention of his 1-year-old daughter…
Quoted from Anthony Frick’s Page:
“Who I’d like to meet: Girls who can drink alot of beer”
“Im 20 years old I like to drink alot of beer and have a good time. If im not drinking im working”
“shooting pool drinking beer and raising my 1 year old daughter”
“Movies: dont really care i usually dont watch them im doing better things during the movie”
“Books: nope dont read well maybe playboy”
“Heroes: your mom”
Hardly a model citizen… Reading his profile makes me dislike him even more…
Some people have made some rude comments about his family. They are in no way in any shape or form responsible for his actions. He is an adult, and he made his own decision. I’m sure it is hard enough for them already, and don’t need to be questioned about their own morals.
