Buc-ee's in South MS always open, until issue this weekend. Here's what we know
Once a Buc-ee's opens, it stays open 24 hours a day, every day. But something happened Sunday that saw the Buc-ee's store off I-10 exit 24 in Harrison County close for several hours. People began posting Sunday on Facebook that barricades blocked the entrance and the store was closed to customers and employees. Harrison County received one medical call to the store Sunday, said Pat Sullivan, Harrison County fire chief. The store reopened at 4 a.m. Monday, he said. People posted on Facebook that fire trucks were on the property, every entrance was barricaded and a sheriff's deputy parked at one of them. Others said they drove over from the New Orleans and Mobile areas to find the store was closed. The Sun Herald will update this article as more information becomes available.

Angry Kildare won't settle for last eight berth
Kildare manager Pat Sullivan said reaching the quarter-finals of the TG4 All-Ireland Championship is the stuff of dreams — but they are not going to settle for that after seeing off Armagh to reach the last eight. 'It's hard to put into words. Nobody outside of our circle gave us any chance. We drew with teams and beat teams in the league but we were still given no chance. We had a lot of anger and this is a really good squad. Our first year in Division One, there's no player in this circle has ever been in an All-Ireland quarter-final. 'So for them to achieve what they've achieved is a dream and we're not there to make up the numbers, we're there to give it everything and we're delighted to be there,' said Sullivan after their superb 1-12 to 1-10 away to Armagh. The sides were deadlocked at 0-6 apiece at the end of the opening half. Kildare captain Laoise Lenehan edged them in front after the restart and then after an exchange of points struck a major blow when she finished to the net after being set up by Roisin Byrne. Armagh responded well after Kildare extended the lead to five and captain Lauren McConville fired home a goal after being set up by Niamh Henderson, before Aimee Mackin cut the gap to the minimum but Mia Ryan's second point wrapped up the win for the Lilywhites. Tipperary never trailed as they beat Donegal by 0-11 to 1-6 in Bansha to set up a quarter-final against Meath after their best performance of the year. A superb display from Anna Rose Kennedy helped Tipperary to 0-8 to 0-3 lead at the interval before extending it with a couple of points from Aisling Moloney after the restart. 'In the first half we really controlled the game,' said Tipperary manager Ed Burke. 'We kicked some lovely scores from distance, we were patient, and we restricted their scoring. It was a real serious Tipperary team performance. Goals in each half from Katie Quirke sent Cork into the quarter-finals as they held off a late Mayo fightback in Castlebar to advance by 3-8 to 1-10. 'The goals were crucial scores,' said Cork manager Joe Carroll. 'We started fairly well but I thought we rushed the play a small bit. We got our kicks blocked down a few times and took a few shots we needn't have, that's something we need to work. We were better at it in the second half. 'We'll just have to get ourselves ready for Dublin, an exceptional team. They won the Leinster championship, so we'll have some work to do to beat them.' Cork led by 2-3 to 0-6 at the break with Máire O'Callaghan shooting to the net in the opening seconds of the contest. Mayo fought back in the second half and points from Sinead Walsh and a goal from Annie Gough reduced the gap but Cork held on to set up a quarter-final against Dublin. 'The last few weeks at this level, we haven't been aggressive in the second half,' said Mayo manager Liam McHale. 'We went down to Kerry and played well in the first half but only scored a point in the second half against the wind. We had a couple of goal chances but we couldn't seem to catch a break.' Waterford had six different goalscorers as they ousted Leitrim by 6-16 to 3-4 in Carrick-on-Shannon to book a quarter-final date with Galway. 'The first 15 minutes their backs were on top of us the whole time and we were finding it hard to get our shots off,' said Waterford full-forward Clare Walsh. 'Any shots the first few minutes their keeper saved them. Once we got into the flow, the points and the scores came. There were loads of scorers and some of our backs were up there too.' Lauren McGregor and Karen McGrath found the net in the opening half to lead by 2-7 to 1-1 at the break, with Laura O'Dowd getting the Leitrim goal. Waterford pushed on for victory with further goals from Brid McMaugh, Katie Murray, Clare Walsh and Megan Dunford sealing the win, with Leitrim pushing them all the way with goals from Rachel McIntyre and Aisling Quinn.

Strand yourself in high style at Rosscarbery's Warren Blue Flag beach
EVEN the house name, Feora, has a sweetness and a resonance. The Irish word means 'a little bit of fertile land by the sea'. Near the Warren That's according to the couple who built this one-off dormer home to their own professional design 25 years ago, marking the millennium with a new family home, by the sea. And, yes, the land is fertile, as well as scenically set. The duo — he's from Kerry , she's from suburban Douglas — got the chance to build their dream home by the sea just off the main West Cork N71 highway, as it starts its downhill drop to the causeway and lagoon at Rosscarbery, in the townland called Burgatia — another winsome name. Twenty five years on, architectural technician Pat Sullivan and his wife, Noelle, a nurse, are set to trade down and Feora Burgatia is about to make some waves in and around Rosscarbery and the Warren Strand as a lifestyle package, with an unbeaten private track to the beach, a green and grassy strip shared with near neighbours. Lovely and lush Feora is one of just six houses built in woodland in a sloping cul de sac, each out of sight of the other, while a few can be glimpsed from the beach road off the N71 to the Warren Strand, on large lawns above a tiny, hamlet-like cluster of cute cottages. Warren fun and frolics on the doorstep From this walk, you can discern Feora in winter, when leaves come off the many deciduous trees on its far boundary. Come summer, it fades from view once more. That's the same seasonal schedule for the water views from Feora, says Noelle: They see it through the heart of their home, from the kitchen straight through the dining area, past the patio and down the lawns to the tidal inlet by the causeway and Warren walk in the winter, but only glimpses right now, in high summer. Viewings at the property have just started this week as the family, with adult children, prepare to 'right-size.' They are selling via joint agents Jeremy Murphy and Pat Maguire, who both live locally, 'though their offices are in Cork city and in Skibbereen, respectively. They know how lovely it is to come back to Ross at the end of a work day. Life can be a beach The agents guide the well-conceived, finished, and immaculately-kept Feora at €825,000, for a five-bed dormer of c 2,200 sq ft, with up to five bedrooms in a very attractive floor plan, on an acre of grounds lushly planted (the clue to the fertile ground is in the name). The house is distinctive, thanks to its steep roof pitch of 60 and 30 degrees, with taller pitch meaning the first-floor rooms getting the most headroom. The scene setter is the sit-out balcony off the main bedroom, perfect for morning cuppas or evening sundowners, and the room also has a walk-in robe and en-suite private bathroom. Also distinctive is a small, circular roof window in a copper dome above a stairwell, a cross between porthole window and a periscope, giving a Jules Verne maritime air from outside. The first floor proper has four bedrooms, one of them reached via a study/den, and there's a more accessible bedroom (No 5) at ground level, off the hall, with a bathroom with electric shower, ideal for guests or older family members. At ground, as well, is a family room with stove, utility with outdoor access, and a detached home office/store, kitchen linked via a few stops to a dining area (the internal steps work with site's slope) and the biggest and best room is the sitting room, also down a few steps from the entry, with extra-high ceiling, cherry wood floor, large chimneypiece and double doors in a wide window bay to the gardens, with a bright, south-west aspect. There's an adjacent, detached home office, with store room/workshed, and attic storage above. New owners may continue its office use, or upgrade (subject to planning) for guest use, Airbnb, family members, gym, or art studio. Water glimpses Feora is toward the top third/ upper end of its mature site, mostly planted by Pat and Noelle a few decades back, and has a lovely mix of native trees. Meanwhile, a bonus is access via a gap in a ditch leading to a slender green footpath, with right of way shared with a few other properties, so occupants can get to the popular Warren Strand, a Blue Flag beach with facilities, pitch and putt, lifeguard in season, occasional surf rescue camp, sauna pod and visiting coffee dock in a horse box. Surf's up (occasionally) Location wise, off the N71 beaten track, Feora (and Rosscarbery) is 60km from Cork City and airport, 45km from Kinsale and airport, 12km from Clonakilty in one direction and is near Glandore, Union Hall and Skibbereen in the other. VERDICT: Superbly set, immaculate, spacious without being overwhelming and with a beach on the doorstep.

Game Creek outfits new OB trucks with Riedel technology
To enhance video distribution without relying on a centralised gateway, Game Creek adopted Riedel's FusioN 3B converters, placing 80 units across each truck trio. Riedel Communications has announced a partnership with outside broadcast (OB) production powerhouse Game Creek Video, which has selected Riedel's state-of-the-art solutions for its latest fleet of OB trucks. This collaboration represents a major step forward in mobile broadcast production, with the trucks set to serve two of the largest broadcast and streaming platforms in the US, covering premier sporting events nationwide. The newly built units — two sets of A, B and C interconnected trucks — mirror the intercom systems used in fixed broadcast facilities, ensuring seamless operational continuity. Each unit is equipped with Riedel's Artist digital intercom matrix, SmartPanels, Bolero wireless beltpacks and MediorNet FusioN IP converters to deliver high-quality, flexible communication and efficient signal routing during live broadcasts. Pat Sullivan, President of Game Creek Video, said: 'Our customers were eager for us to implement Riedel's solution, and we always take their input seriously. These trucks are built for the largest productions in the United States, and Riedel's commitment to supporting us at that level was a major factor in our decision.' Sullivan continued: 'Riedel stands out because they continuously invest in advancing their systems rather than just keeping up with technology. They listen to our needs and respond quickly, which is invaluable. In our no-fail business, it's reassuring to have a supplier like Riedel that shares that mindset.' Eliminating the need for a large, centralised, video gateway solution, Game Creek is using the Riedel FusioN line of gateway products to deliver UHD outputs to local monitors throughout each of the three-truck systems. In this setup, 80 small FusioN 3B devices sit behind all of the monitors in each three-truck system —driving two UHD displays. FusioN 3B takes SMPTE ST 2110 signals all the way out to the edge (to the monitors). Once the ST 2110 signals reach the monitors, FusioN 3B converts them to SDI. By using ST 2110 for signal exchange, Game Creek cut down on the number of interconnects and simplified signal-sharing between systems. Also, the lack of a centralised gateway meant Game Creek could reduce the amount of wire (and weight) inside the trucks. Likewise, the Artist digital matrix intercom system is one of the most important components of the new trucks because its compact footprint has made it possible to go from a large, centralised intercom system down to a small 2-RU singular device. Game Creek deployed one Artist-1024 node in each A unit, using 768 ports to support the entire three-truck system. This system connects with both legacy camera setups and ST 2110-capable CCUs, simplifying integration. While currently only used for intercom, since Riedel's app-based SmartPanels go beyond intercom, Game Creek is exploring further uses for the Artist system in audio monitoring. Keith Martin, director of technology at Game Creek Video, shared that the goal was to push the boundaries of traditional mobile production, moving away from heavy, centralised systems to a more distributed, lightweight solution that fits into the smaller form factors required for today's fast-paced, mobile production environments. Martin added: 'Recently, our trucks with legacy designs were bumping up against the Department of Transportation's weight thresholds, and it was starting to cut into how much ancillary gear we could take to a venue. By implementing Riedel's MediorNet FusioN and the Artist intercom, we can economize on the benefits of ST 2110, replacing some of the heavy copper wire with fiber and extending with a small piece of hardware all the way out to the edge, which has made a big difference. The primary driver for switching to Riedel came from the end users, and the reason was that the sound quality is significantly better, which makes for a much more comfortable experience for people who have to wear headsets for hours on end. Whether operators are using a microphone and the Artist's internal speakers or a headset, the audio fidelity is fantastic and was a big selling point. When you hear someone on the intercom, you wonder if they're sitting right next to you. Riedel's continued investment in state-of-the-art technology, reliability, and support made them the obvious choice over competitors.' Game Creek's setup includes around 90 Riedel SmartPanel RSP-1232HL units inside the trucks, with additional panels for field teams, plus the Bolero wireless system for full mobility and communication across the venue. Game Creek has about 90 Riedel SmartPanel RSP-1232HL interfaces at operator stations inside the trucks, plus a few for field deployment to communicate with crew members throughout the venue. Game Creek has also added the Bolero wireless intercom system, giving operators inside the truck constant access to people out in the field and vice versa. The flagship trucks, built for major US sports productions, will not only support high-profile broadcasts but also have the flexibility to cater to other events and customer needs, maintaining the versatility and scalability that Game Creek is known for. Dover Mundt, Regional Account Manager at Riedel Communications, stated: 'Without remote television trucks, we wouldn't have the live sports broadcasts we have today. The workflow for these trucks is very different from, say, studios and theatres, so we're continually listening and learning from Game Creek so we can provide the best possible solution. After all, they are experts at what they do.'
