LPS11 results delayed...

Gah!!! delayed!! It's the end of the world!!!
:lol3

Ok, not really, but rather than responding to threads and PM's, I guess I'll do my job and officially update you: I've decided to postpone the LPS11 results until next week.
  • Shay is AWOI (away with out internet) this week. Don't worry he's fine, just can't look at the LPS11 entries or communicate at all, he wasn't expecting to be so remote this week.
  • Preceding this bit of AWOI, Shay's boot camp got the best of him and the judging panel for LPS11 was not fully put into place. I'm still on a work-only internet basis here in Oz (you thought service in the US was slow???!!!) and haven't fully gotten back into the swing of things after switching continents, so kudos to Shay for doing it single-handedly for the past month already!
  • Hence, I've done my best to assemble a panel ASAP. Thanks to a few awesome dgrinners, this wasn't that hard. With me back in the judging mix, I've got a good panel, but for sake of consistency...
  • I'd like to have Shay continue to judge, as always, so we'll wait for his return.
As soon as Shay returns, he'll give me his list, and we'll post the results/feedback ASAP.

All good? :wave

    Thanks for the information Erik.

    I bet it does make things challenging being halfway around the world with Shay being AWOL.

    Not even dial-up....no Internet???? How are you surviving? Addicted to my cable modem.

    Truth is, our sources lost all contact with Shay after this.

    After that incident, a shorter more humbled Shay was spotted on a Hangpu river barge near Shanghai China with his new friend, smiling and waving to passing onlookers?!?!?! Once this photo was circulated he disappeared again??? Has anyone else spotted Shay?

    Sorry Piggy, but you lie! He was down here at a local horse show riding front seat in one of the exhibition rounds.. This gal got married at the end of the round, so the boot camp was there to assist...

    NO Way Guys, you have to be mistaken!!

    I was driving to work this morning, and I spotted Shay... Pan Handling on the street with some other dude....he looked bad.....I beeped the horn at him, but all he did was WAVE and then Waved that Sign...but I had to keep driving, traffic was moving....Shay has gone off the Deep End....

    I can't see how that is possible.....
    I could swear I spotted Shay running from the hospital after making the BIG change..... Scary thing is that I kind of thought s/he was kinda cute.

    shay's at the Browns opener...
    that's why he doesn't have internet - they don't allow that kind of thing on the field.

    Back I say, ALL of you, to your filthy mud pits, especially YOU, snoutface, whose accusations of sinful fraud will not succeed! Here is final proof that Shay's right here at that very wedding I mentioned, warming up the music section before the bride appeared:

    Last weekend during the heatwave I spotted Shay offshore in Southern Cal. Rumors are he is now involved in offshore drilling and illegal kickbacks. The local environmentalists in Huntington Beach are all up in arms as witnessed here.

    Another Sighting!
    Shay definitly gets around! After looking at all of the recent sightings, is it no wonder he can't find an internet connection. I was minding my own business at the US Open, enjoying a match when I caught this shot. Couldn't believe my eyes when I cropped in. All I can say is Shay definitely has skills! You should have seen him bounce and I never heard him complain once.
