I bought this David Bradley cart up by my daughter's college a month ago or so - I was wondering if anybody on the board knew anything about David Bradley stuff ? I would hate to tear this up by hauling mulch and such if it is something a collector would be interested in. The only info I can find is that it was sold by Sears & Roebuck in the late 50's and it was made for the "suburban" tractor model. It appears to be all original and it was stored inside for it's life.
Any help or info would be appreiciated. Model # is 917-59111

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Had a great meal at Founding Farmers! The scallops were slightly too garlicky for my taste (but I'm not big on garlic). However, they were incredibly tender and fresh!Special Features:
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/28/2014Cocktails were great, and the chicken pot pie was the best thing I've had so far on my trip. I might have to go there once more before I leave to enjoy it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Missed the breakfast serving timeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/28/2014We would like to go back to try the breakfast in the near future bc it looked so delicious but we just missed it by 15 mins. Also would like to try the appetizers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent local diningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014Great local Dining and a must visit in DC. I've been here twice in two visits and the food and service have been amazing. Great house made cocktails, brew and farm to table food. I'd recommend the chicken and waffles for first time visitors, though everything I've ordered has been tasty. Highly recommend a reservation or squeezing in at the bar if you are solo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BonsTempsRoulentDined on 8/27/2014Our return trip to Founding Farmers DC wasn't up to par. The pepper wings were fantastic and the service was good as usual, but the entrees were disappointing. A soggy burger and a soupy Straw and Hay later, we were wishing we had stuck with our favorites (the Signatures). After dining at both locations multiple times, we prefer the Montgomery County location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's ALL GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/27/2014On our recent trip, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Founding Farmers. We had reservations and only waited due to a 3rd person joining us that was held up. We enjoyed the bar and and bartenders. Very people pleasing attitudes! As soon as the party was complete, we were seated. Here again, we were met with smiles from the wait staff and recommendations on dinner. Based on these, we each ordered something different to try. Meatloaf, Fried Chicken and Waffles and Roasted Chicken. All 3 were delicious. Prices were reasonable and the experience was delightful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A wait at 9:30 at night!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014There was a wait at 9:30 at night on a Tuesday. Yes there was.

Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite stopOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/26/2014Whenever we visit Washington DC we make it a point to dine at Founding Farmers. Good food and reasonably priced. We alwayas were seated immediately when we had prior reservations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LoudOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/26/2014Not the best place for aquite dinner. Food is great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NoiseOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/26/2014Been there 3 times, just our bad luck that the last 2 visits we encountered screaming babies way too close by. Restaurant was not the problem, they tried to calm the children down. The parents just let it go, very disappointing. The food has been great, the service very good. We just have to work on our timing.I would recommend this to a friend.
- High-end comfort foodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/26/2014When you want high-end comfort food, this is the place. Familiar dishes, locally sourced. Be sure to book well in advance, especially for lunch.Special Features:
- Great food for everybodyOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/26/2014This restaurant is always buzzing! The food is really good and its wide variety fits all tastes. The location is great. It's always very busy, so reserve ahead of time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for business lunchKmaxDined on 8/26/2014Menu variety makes it a fit for any palette. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CrowdedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/25/2014It's very crowded, all the time. You need to push your way in the door, there are perpetual lines of people waiting for tables. The bar is jam packed, largely by people waiting for tables or eating there because they couldn't get a table. It's 100% full, at all times and has the resulting noise level you would expect. That said, if are able to get a reservation, you don't have to wait too long, and service and food are very good.Special Features:
- Super fun with great food!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/25/2014The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was lively and laid back. We ordered a few appetizers and they were delicious. My friend ordered the chicken pot pie and I ordered the shrimp and grits. The chicken pot pie was more like chicken stew with a biscuit. He seemed to enjoy it but was disappointed it wasn't really chicken pot pie. We were told that there was a biscuit top rather than a pie crust but no one told us it was only a regular biscuit and more like stew. My shrimp and grits were not really good. I could tell that it was only because there was a lack of knowledge about real shrimp and grits: not because the food itself was bad. It was tasty but not as low country shrimp and grits should be. Overall the food was good.Special Features:
- Too LoudOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/25/2014It's a fun restaurant but difficult to talk or hear.Special Features:
- Overall excellenceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014The food, wine, service, atmosphere, and value were all outstanding. My favorite dishes were the Brie and the Carrot Cake. I will absolutely be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dontmakefoodmakerezVIPDined on 8/24/2014The meatloaf and mashed potatoes my hubby had was delicious, luckily my arctic char was also so tasty or I would've devoured his meal. The watermelon and green bean side was no up to par with the rest.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A mustOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014One of the best meals I have had in years. Fried green tomatoes and fried chicken and waffles are home runs. Don't miss out on this placeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchRedCookieDined on 8/24/2014Decided on Founding Fathers to have brunch and catch up with a girlfriend. It was extremely crowded but apparently that is always the case, especially for brunch so just be prepared. Other than that everything was smooth sailing. We'd made a reservation, which I strongly encourage, so we were seated right away and received nothing but the friendliest service, attentive without being intrusive. I had the carrot cake pancakes and the pims cup cocktail, both very good. I initially was wavering between the pancakes or french toast, but my server thankfully explained that the french toast can skew towards the sweet side, and the pancakes were perfect, light, flavorful, just a hint of sweetness and a real carrot cake flavor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!terryDined on 8/24/2014Brunch was excellent! Peach Bellini was so good. Everyone was very friendly. We were seated at our reservation time. It was very busy on a Sunday morning but we did not feel rushed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BreakfastOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/24/2014My family of four (two kids ages 10,12) enjoyed brunch here twice over the weekend. The service was outstanding both times and all of us enjoyed our meals from the beignets to the fresh squeezed orange juice to the absolutely amazing bacon and eggs .. there is something for everyone. Sweet (stuffed french toast!) savory (sausage gravy benedict) and classic (bacon, eggs and hash brown) all fresh and flavorful.Special Features:
- BalancedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014Founding Farmers drew me in with its dedication to fresh and local foods, and the server gave a brief overview of what that meant. The food was delicious and balanced. I would have liked a little bit more heat to the "spicy" bacon. Great job.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/23/2014Food, Drinks and Service were outstanding. Great recommendations by our server. This is our Must Visit restaurant in DC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great all around!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/23/2014We are VERY PICKY! We want it all; great food and ambience with interesting options. To begin with the hostess and waitress were highly energetic and positive about the place. They provided a mouth watering description to every item I inquired about right down to the lemonade, vanilla soda and wineries represented. The food did not disappoint. We were so intrigued we ordered an extra dish just to take out so we could sample this too. I've never done that before. It was the meatless turkey, cranberry and tofu burger (Thanksgiving burger?) and it was the highlight of our 7 hour drive home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great drinkshousedividedDined on 8/23/2014Loved the drink menu, particularly the "Nice Coat!" drink. The food was good, but the service was not. We had a hard time finding good service anywhere in DC, so this must be the norm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun time!TMACDined on 8/23/2014Went to Founding Farmers on 8/23. Had made 5:00 pm res and we arrived at 4:55 PM &were seated within 10 minutes. We ordered beer and signature cocktail(both yummy)some deviled eggs and bacon wrapped figs and cornbread..Delicious!!..For our entree's my husband got the pork chop ( which he loved) and I got the Rotisserie chicken. The flavor of the chicken was very good but the chicken was dry..overcooked. Did not finished even 1/2 of the chicken but gobbled up the watermelon and side potatoes . For dessert we got the chocolate mousse for 2 ..huge portion and very tasty.. I will go back but maybe not order the chicken.Special Features:
- Love it.eatoutalotDined on 8/23/2014Our son was recruited by GW and we were told about FF by his coach. Have been back two times since and love it. The food is excellent. This past time sat at the bar for an hour and the bartenders and drinks are excellent. Can't wait to get back to DC to go again. LOVE LOVE LOVESpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cost me more than price on menujakaDined on 8/23/2014Service was horrible. I put two hours in my meter for my car, and I got a parking ticket because things took so long.
- Dairy free and vegetarian optionsJoaniDined on 8/23/2014Our table was challenging to accomodate with one dairy free and one vegetarian. The team was very helpful to help us find the best option. The banana foster french toast was delicious as usual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Perhaps the American connection lets things down but everything was about money and HAL's determination to relieve passengers of as much as the filthy lucre as they could. Pure greed! London West end prices for drinks on board even when in international waters, despite the fact that all supplies are probably purchased ex-bond and duty free.
Although comparatively old, the ship was clean and well maintained, and the chief officer should be complemented on the state of the ship.
My partner and I were not too interested in the evening entertainment, with the exception of the classical violin and piano combo in the Crow's-nest bar who played really well.
We found the standard of food to be very good and always pleasing.
The itinerary was good - Dover , Oslo, Christiansand, Stavanger, Ulvic, Dover - and enjoyable
The mainly far eastern restaurant and hospitality crew were very good and friendly but you could be forgiven the feeling that any crew member making a single mistake would be flogged or, at the very least, never re-hired. I'm not saying that they were ill-treated but there was an atmosphere that I found unacceptable.
Consequently, it may be a long time before I sail with HAL again.

LINCOLN A former head of the Illinois child welfare agency who resigned after an audit found his friend was awarded millions in taxpayer dollars with little to show for it is now helping Nebraska negotiate how much it will pay a private company to provide child welfare services.
Erwin McEwen left his job as director of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services in September 2011 after that states executive inspector general found that a man McEwen described as his personal friend and mentor Dr. George Smith perpetrated a large scale fraud upon the state.

Four years ago, Gov. Dave Heineman turned the state's child welfare system over to private companies who demanded more money, broke their contracts and eventually pulled out in all areas but Lincoln and Omaha, and still charged the state millions of dollars.
Costs soared, payments to foster families and subcontractors were delayed and record keeping was lax, but the program continued because of assurances of a key official, Todd Reckling, who resigned after state auditors uncovered the financial problems.
A year ago, the Legislature enacted reforms, appointing an inspector general to oversee the program.

A far cry from a typical history book, this text abounds in scholarly facts and is a delight to read. The writer has taken a different path and done justice to the magnetic figure that Chandragupta Maurya was, instead of simply presenting him in a historical light.
Summary Of The Book
Historically and otherwise, Chandragupta Maurya is definitely one of the more interesting individuals from the history of India. His life and time has been a topic of much debate, discussion, and even controversy.
Born in a relatively unknown village to a farmer, he was raised in conditions of extreme poverty and destitution. Later in life, he went on to serve as an attendant at a palace in the city of Pataliputra.
As the story progresses, readers are introduced to the point where Maurya turned his life around and became king. The book takes its readers through an alternate world - over the plains lying east of the River Indus and the many wars and battles fought at Kalinga. Chandragupta: Path Of A Fallen Demi-God provides extensive information about the Mauryan Empire, which was spread out over the Indian subcontinent.
Readers can witness the change in the king's mindset too, as his waning interest in statecraft and peaking interest and subsequent submission to a life of spirituality is depicted.
Published in the year 2011, the book was met with positive reviews, mostly owing to the fact that books about Chandragupta Maurya are mostly historical accounts that don't do complete justice to the man himself.

Since history is all about presenting facts the author has no role in the plot. All tiny bits and pieces of history have been put together in this book. But what really disappointed me is the writing style which is mundane. There are too many instances of spelling mistakes which I am not sure is because of the poor review of the editing team or the printing press. There are too many contrasting stories on Chandragupta Maurya from what the Internet offers on the very same person.
This is a great book, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I liked the narration and the presentation style of the author. I normally take a lot of time to complete a book but I read this book in flat two days. Great read, highly recommended.
No doubt a wonderful story with a peek into the private life of the great Mauryan which I'd never knew about. One of the many versions of Chandragupta Maurya's life I have read. But this is no way to release a book without any proof reading done at all! How else can one explain the incredible number of errors that torture the reader throughout! I mean the author must have had some real urgent need for money to get this book published at the earliest.
While I appreciate the ability of the author to hold the readers' attention throughout the story; the readers expect good quality books from F... (Expand)
A poorly written book... mediocre language skills....poor story telling... too many grammatical/spelling mistakes. This book had a great chance to portray the glory of Samrat and his relationship with Vishnugupta, state, Mudrarakshas, Bhadrashal, Buddhism, jainism, Greek invasion, etc. It is written as though the pre-writting research was done in haste without passion.
This book could have been much much more, but it has been shoddily proof read and edited that it takes away the impact the book could have had. There are mistakes galore in the book (both typos and other errors). A big thumbs done to the publishing team.
I liked the narration of the author. I felt it could be made into a Bollywood movie, with proper directorial guidance of course (if you know what I mean). However, the editors did a poor job as there are many spelling mistakes throughout the novel. Sometimes it gets too distracting for the reader... (View complete review)
Division of the life events in small chapters makes it a very captive and easy read and also shows the evolution of a boy to a man we know as the Chandragupta Maurya. written in simple english and being devoid of boring historical terms makes it an ideal gift to young readers as well.

The story was pacy, writing style was good, but it has lots of TYPOGRAPHICAL errors. Apart from the historical facts, it deals with the human side of the life of a SAMRAT. His ups and downs, his emotions. It was worth reading. Hope the author continues writing but has to take care of errors. (View complete review)
The books offers a large number of inputs but the style of writing is poor and amaturish. One would get bored correcting grammatical errors which take away the interst in the book. Facts are well placed, but at times the descriptions are just not necessary. The language uses Indianisms like "... (View complete review)

Central Florida Zoo in Sanford( RICARDO RAMIREZ BUXEDA, ORLANDO SENTINEL / March 14, 2009 )
Sixteen-month-old Phane Singsimu of Longwood enjoys the Splash Ground at the Central Florida Zoo in Sanford. The Central Florida Zoo is enjoying record-sized crowds in spite of the economy. While restaurants are closing and theme parks are looking at layoffs, the zoo saw record attendance last year and says this years numbers appear just as high. Zoo officials attribute the increase to a new kids splash area that opened last year, to last years high gas prices and to the staycation trend. But Central Florida isnt alone. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums is still crunching the numbers, but estimates that total zoo and aquarium attendance broke records nationally in 2008.

Cardinals' Dockett involved in incident with Kerry Rhodes
When asked about the matter on Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt would not divulge much information.
"We generally prefer to keep internal matters like that within the team and not discuss them publicly," he said. "I think we're going to continue to do that going forward."
Sources close to the situation say that Dockett reportedly spit in Rhodes' face late in the game as the Jets were nearing the Cardinals' goal line.
The same sources indicate that Dockett could be facing a one-game suspension without pay for his part in the incident.
Tuesday morning, Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com wrote a blog post including a quote from Rhodes who says Dockett didn't spit in his face, but there was an incident.
Rhodes was arguably the best defensive player in the game, collecting a pair of interceptions and a forced fumble to go along with six tackles.

Why didn't he pull QB Ryan Lindley from last night's game against the Jets? Will Darnell Dockett be disciplined for the alleged scuffle with Kerry Rhodes? What is his focus right now and going forward?

Last Monday night's game was the best of the season, a battle won against one of the league's strongest teams that left three words echoing in the minds of Panthers fans: "Ice up, son."
That was the advice Steve Smith gave Aqib Talib, who did not finish the game due to a hip injury. The quote instantly took its place among other classic Smith quotes, such as "89, bottom line" and "just another notch in the bedpost." Bojangles' even had a great tweet about it.
As great as their sweet tea is, I'm here to talk beer. When you think of ice and beer, however, your mind immediately goes to the countless "ice" versions of so many mass market lagers. Those would be a decidedly bad choice, so I've gone a different direction this week.
Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock - G. Schneider & Sohn
The Brewery
The G. Schneider and Sohn, which was founded in 1872 after the Schneiders acquired the Weisses Brauhaus, is one of Germany's oldest and most respected breweries. If you enjoy German styles, you owe it to yourself to try their diverse selection of wheat-based beers.
The Brew
You think you know what "wheat beer" is, right? Most assume a wheat beer is a light-bodied, refreshingly tart beer best enjoyed during the warmer months, and usually that's pretty accurate. Schneider has several beers that fit that bill, but Aventinus isn't one of them. Aventinus is actually the name given to their weizenbock, or wheat doppelbock. It's rare enough that a brewer uses wheat in that style, but Schneider takes it to another level by freeze distilling this beer, which brings it to 12 percent ABV. With freeze distillation, a portion of the beer is frozen and then removed. The resulting beer has less water and more alcohol than it did prior to distillation, since alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water.
This freeze-distilled weizenbok is a big, boozy beer that is ideally sipped not during the summer, but on the coldest of days or nights. It has sweet malty flavors in abundance, with notes of figs, plums and dark bread.
How it relates to the game
Like Smith, this bottle is smaller than most. But the liquid in that 11-ounce package is a whopping 12-percent in alcohol, and much stronger than it looks. After victories against two great teams in the 49ers and Patriots, it's easy to think that the Panthers will continue their winning ways with an easy win over the Dolphins. The Panthers have never beat the Dolphins in the regular season, however, and despite all of the Incognito drama they are still a team to contend with as they look to improve to 6-5.
At the end of the day, though, I have to think the Panthers will take care of business. The only question is what choice words Steve Smith will have for Miami's corners.
Price Point / Availability
Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock is sold in individual 11-ounce bottles for around $4.99 each. It's a bit pricey, but certainly a classic that everyone should have at least once. You can find it at most craft beer stores.

A single-car crash left a young Elgin man dead late Monday night.
A burglar may have left more clues than they wanted to when they broke into a Stoneboro Road, Health Springs, church in Kershaw County.
An armed robber walked into Check Into Cash at the corner of DeKalb and Fair streets just before 10 a.m. Friday.
Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews expressed no surprise at being served with a $2 million defamation lawsuit by former Sheriff Steve McCaskill.
Three items on Tuesday's Camden City Council agenda are related to a decision by members to recast the Camden Parks and Streets Commission as the Camden Parks and Trees Commission.
Former Kershaw County Sheriff Steve McCaskill is suing Sheriff Jim Matthews for $2 million in a defamation lawsuit filed Thursday at the Kershaw County Courthouse.
For some time, a number of South Carolina mayors wished they could do even more to represent their cities and towns' interests on the state level. Earlier this year, those mayors decided to do something about.
The Camden Police Department (CPD) arrested a 46-year-old Lugoff man after he allegedly threatened to shoot an off-duty officer. The man allegedly made the threat Friday morning while the deputy, in plain clothes, was at a West DeKalb Street store.
One of the first projects Rick Todd tackled after being appointed Kershaw County's chief magistrate in late April was whittling down a backlog of driving under the influence (DUI) and driving with an unlawful alcohol concentration (DUAC) cases.
Several months ago, the Camden Planning Commission (CPC) heard a presentation by Jay Daniels with the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control's Bureau of Chronic Disease Prevention. Daniels came to talk about something called "complete streets." The idea, according to Camden City Planner Shawn Putnam, is for a community to have streets that serve as more than just conduits for automobiles.
Well, it wasn't Independence Day for Nikki Haley. Could there have been any harsher repudiation of the governor's agenda and tactics than what happened Wednesday night at the State House?
Carl Mendez, 23, of Lugoff, pled guilty Thursday to being an accessory to murder in the so-called 2009 "ninja" murder case. Mendez, who was originally charged with murder, cooperated with prosecutors and testified during a November 2010 trial that saw one of his co-defendants sent to jail for 45 years for shooting Derick Lee twice in the head. A jury acquitted a third defendant of murdering Lee, described by deputies as a "ninja master."
KershawHealth will spend $1 million to purchase the surgical office of Dr. Ed Gill as part of an agreement to hire Gill as a hospital-employed physician. Gill will leave Sentinel Health Partners to do so.
Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies arrested a 40-year-old Kershaw man after he allegedly struck a 36-year-old neighbor in the head with an axe handle around 11:30 p.m. Thursday. The assault was reportedly in retaliation for the victim having assaulted a woman.
Camden Planning Commissioner Ronnie Bradley said he had never spoken in front of Camden City Council before. He said he felt he had to Tuesday morning because of what he read in the newspaper: an at times heated discussion over the possibility of dissolving at least two of the city's commissions.
KershawHealth will change the way it offers emergency medical services (EMS) by the end of the month. Several EMS stations will move; others will expand. In addition, KershawHealth's ambulances will no longer answer calls for "non-emergent" patients, allowing that service to be picked up by the private sector.
I am man enough to admit that I have cried more than once since the news broke that Robin Williams had died by what local officials said was suicide.
Harold Williams "Bill" Funderburk Jr., a retired attorney and owner of Books on Broad, is Camden's newest municipal judge.
There are 21 bridges that cross bodies of water in Kershaw County owned and, therefore, maintained by the county. Of those, 19 need some level of repair or need to be replaced. In addition, there are two other bridges that are out-of-service that also need to be replaced.

- Torrealba benefits from everyday play
- Jones earns 1,500th Minor League victory
- Chavez gets rest to stay strong
- RISP reward: Rangers delivering in the clutch
- Worth noting
OAKLAND -- The Athletics committed four errors in Saturday's 7-1 Rangers win, giving them 98 for the season. They passed Texas for the most errors in the American League."I don't pay any attention to that. ... I really don't," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Even though we have made a lot of errors, I still don't feel we are a bad defensive team. I feel we're a good defensive team. That stuff is not where you should have your mind. All that should be on your mind is what you have to do today." The Rangers made 105 errors last season, tied for the seventh fewest in the American League.
Torrealba benefits from everyday play
OAKLAND -- Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba took an 11-game hitting streak into Sunday's game with the Athletics and was batting .424 with eight RBIs in his last 15 games. This offensive surge comes at a time when he has been able to get into the lineup every day.Since third baseman Adrian Beltre has been on the disabled list, Torrealba and Mike Napoli have been shuttling between catcher and designated hitter. Torrealba was at designated hitter for the sixth time on Sunday afternoon as Michael Young continues to play regularly at third base in Beltre's absence. "It obviously helps," Torrealba said. "It obviously helps your confidence when you're able to be in there every day staying sharp and staying ready. Sometimes a day off helps and sometimes it doesn't. But being able to play every day at catcher or DH helps me to be ready at the plate." Torrealba had been used once at designated hitter in his career before coming to the Rangers this season. "Especially with this ballclub, I thought there was no way I would be the DH," Torrealba said. "We had Mike, and if other guys were going to get a day off, they were going to DH. It's kind of surprising for me, but as long as I'm in the lineup, I don't mind." Torrealba's hitting streak has raised his average to .282. That's the sixth-highest average among catchers in the American League with at least 50 games played. Napoli is fourth with a .288 mark. Torrealba's longest hitting streak was 16 games in 2009.
Jones earns 1,500th Minor League victory
OAKLAND -- Bobby Jones, manager of the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate, earned his 1,500th Minor League victory when the Round Rock Express defeated Sacramento, 6-3, on Saturday night. All those victories have come as a manager in the Rangers' farm system.He was hired as the Class A Port Charlotte manager in 1988 when Tom Grieve was the general manager and has remained with the organization through three other GMs: Doug Melvin, John Hart and Jon Daniels. "Bobby is as 'Ranger' as it gets -- there's no one more universally loved and respected in the organization," Daniels said. "I have so much respect for Bobby," catcher Taylor Teagarden said. "He is so easy to play for. He just asks a couple of things: Be on time and play hard. Anything else takes care of itself naturally. He is a lot of fun to be around, but he always has that line where he commands respect and demands the players respect the game and play hard." Round Rock is 71-50 with the best record in the Pacific Coast League. The team has a 4 1/2-game lead in its division, and if the Express finishes first, it will be the 12th title for Jones at three levels.
Chavez gets rest to stay strong
OAKLAND -- Rangers outfielder Endy Chavez was 7-for-13 in his last three games but was still out of the lineup on Sunday. David Murphy started even though he is 1-for-12 in his last five games.Rather than staying with a hot hand, manager Ron Washington wants to keep Chavez strong for the stretch run. The Rangers have Craig Gentry to platoon with Chavez when there is an opposing left-hander on the mound. But the Rangers haven't faced a left-hander in Oakland and won't during their four-game series with the Angels in Anaheim. The Ranger aren't scheduled to face a left-hander until they go up against John Danks, who will likely pitch on Saturday for the White Sox in Chicago. While Murphy was in the lineup, the Rangers' other three bench players remain idle. Gentry has not started since being activated from the disabled list on Friday, catcher Taylor Teagarden's last start was July 31 in Toronto and Omar Quintanilla has started in just three games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on July 8. "That's their purpose," Washington said. "Their purpose is to be ready when I need it, and right now I don't need it. I have everyday guys and they all just got a day off [on Thursday]." The Rangers face right-handers Garrett Richards, Tyler Chatwood, Ervin Santana and Jered Weaver in Anaheim. The White Sox rotation is right-hander Jake Peavy on Friday, Danks on Saturday and right-hander Gavin Floyd on Sunday.
RISP reward: Rangers delivering in the clutch
OAKLAND -- The Rangers went into Sunday's game with 13 hits in their last 20 at-bats with runners in scoring position. That raised their season average in those situations to .287, the highest in the Major Leagues.The Rangers club record is .303, set in 1998. The highest marks by one team since 1974 are the Detroit Tigers in 2007 and the Colorado Rockies in 1996. Both hit .311 with runners in scoring position. Michael Young went into Sunday's game hitting .375 with runners in scoring position, sixth best in the Major Leagues. Joey Votto of the Reds led with a .424 batting average. Ian Kinsler's .413 batting average in those situations in 2008 is the highest by a Rangers player. Young hit .412 in 2006 and has finished with a RISP batting average of .330 or better in five of his 10 seasons in the Major Leagues.
Worth noting
First baseman Jared Bolden has been promoted from Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach to Double A Frisco. A ninth-round Draft pick in 2008 out of Virginia Commonwealth, Bolden was hitting .271 with six home runs and 47 RBIs in 94 games at Myrtle Beach. Colby Lewis gave the Rangers their 75th quality start from the rotation on Saturday. The Rangers had just 76 all of last season. Saturday also marked the fourth time this season that all nine Rangers starters had at least one hit in the game.

One of the men facing charges in connection with the murder of Holly Bobo was expected to appear in court on Monday.
The Channel 4 I-Team uncovers what you haven't heard about the men accused of killing Holly Bobo.
A Henderson County judge ruled Tuesday there was enough evidence to send a case against a man believed to have a video of Holly Bobo to the grand jury.
The suspect charged with kidnapping and murdering a missing nursing student has been charged with attacking a correctional officer.
Investigators believe there could be a video that shows what happened to Holly Bobo, and one man who supposedly knows something about it is now speaking out.
The former boyfriend of the missing Holly Bobo has been arrested in Decatur County.
The Decatur County judge hearing the case of the kidnapping and murder of Holly Bobo declined to issue a gag order Wednesday.
The two men charged in connection to the 2011 disappearance of nursing student Holly Bobo both appeared in Decatur County court on Wednesday afternoon.
A third name has emerged in the investigation into Holly Bobo's disappearance. Shayne Austin will be indicted, according to the district attorney, and Austin's attorney has filed suit to block an arrest.
A third man is about to be arrested in the Holly Bobo murder investigation, according to that man's attorney.
New details have been released about a criminal charge for Zachary Adams, who is charged in connection to the murder of missing nursing student Holly Bobo.
Zachary Adams, the man charged in connection to the murder of missing nursing student Holly Bobo, has been charged with an additional criminal count Tuesday.
The family of Holly Bobo is speaking out publicly for the first time since a suspect was named in the young nursing student's disappearance and death.
It's been a long three years since the disappearance of Holly Bobo, and during that time her face became a familiar image for many people in Middle Tennessee and beyond.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is calling the man charged with murdering and kidnapping Holly Bobo a meth addict. While it's unclear if that had anything to do with her death, Channel 4 News has uncovered 911 calls that shed more light on Zachary Adams' drug problem.
On the same day Zachary Adams pleaded not guilty for the kidnapping and murder of Holly Bobo, the head of the TBI was at the state Capitol potentially shedding some light on the case.
Zachary Adams, the man charged in connection to the murder of missing nursing student Holly Bobo, pleaded not guilty during a brief arraignment hearing Tuesday afternoon.
Thousands of people have helped search for Holly Bobo over the years, and some of them were in the courtroom Tuesday as suspected killer Zachary Adams made his first appearance in the case.
Zachary Adams, who has been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and first degree murder of Holly Bobo, who disappeared from her Decatur County home in April 2011.
The man accused of kidnapping and killing Holly Bobo will face a judge for the first time in the case Tuesday, and his family has now hired an attorney to represent him.
Incoming freezing rain and ice could slow the new search effort in Decatur County.

At this stage I feel like I very stupidly upgraded my software last night. It was because of the free Sat Nav I saw when browsing on Ovi (which works perfectly).
My problem is that I had previously set up my 5800 to sound a reminder at 9pm every night to remind me to take a certain medication. For the last 6 months, I've heard the sound/alarm at 9pm and simply had to press stop. And it stopped.
Now with the new software update, I simply press stop and it simply IGNORES ME and goes off every 5 minutes or so. It does not react to me pressing 'Stop' at all.
Shame. This was a fantastic phone until last night. Now I think it's the biggest pile of **bleep** that I've ever purchased. I'm sorry, I feel a bit frustrated.
Any solutions to this please? Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Ahhh, I'll try that and let you know how I get on. Thanks
24-02-2010 22:23
Pants. Apparently 22.25 hrs (which is in 5 minutes from now) has already past?
24-02-2010 22:34
So my phone had set itself to Canada time? I've figured how to change it back to UK time.
Jeez. I am testing again.
24-02-2010 22:46
I tested and did a swipe along across the arrow as suggested. Thank you it worked )
If the reminder doesn't re-occur again within 8 minutes, of course I will recommend your advice.
If only Nokia could take a couple of hours to express the information that should really take 2 minutes.
25-02-2010 0:46
Maybe they thought it was already well known since the 5800 is the ONLY nokia phone to not have that feature prior to the v40 update, and everyone was clamoring for the 5530 effects on the phone..^_^

I keep reading everywhere that these boots are awesome in the park, but what about on the rest of the mountain?

These boots are tending towards the softer side which is great and forgiving while in the park but if you need a boot that is going to be a little more responsive its typically better to go with a stiffer boot.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These boots are super light, they feel like my skate shoes. Comfortable and have kept my feet warm in 5-10 degree weather along side my Thirtytwo snowboard socks. These boots are amazing for the park and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable park riding boot!
are they water proff

Snowboard boots are not really intended to be waterproof in the same way a hiking or mountaineering boot would be. However, the ThirtyTwo JP Walker Light Snowboard Boot will be effectively waterproof for traditional snowboarding use. There really isn't anything you could get into with these boots, even in slushy conditions, that would allow moisture to penetrate to your foot. That being said, please don't test the limits of such a nice boot by taking them pond skimming.

I own last years model of these boots and have had some nice 40 degree days and have not had any problem with them getting wet due to "slushy" snow, unlike my Thirtytwo Lashed boots. They keep my feet quite warm but not too hot as well!

So it seems that this blog is reprinted in the actual McCook Daily Gazette on a weekly basis and some people aren't catching the idea that to win the Movie Gallery rental, you must log on to www.mccookgazette.com and click on my blog to leave a comment. Now you know! So leave a comment and get a chance to win a free rental.
Now - the winner from last week is dlfiend4ever. To claim your prize, please send me an email at email@example.com with your name and phone number.
On to the reviews -
Get Smart
I had a chance to watch this one in theatres and enjoyed it enough that I was excited for the DVD release. After watching it again, I'm still excited. This was a very well done remake of the hit TV series and I highly recommend it. Check out the original review at http://www.mccookgazette.com/story/14391....
Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series
This is a box set of the entire series of Fraggle Rock. Fraggle Rock was a popular puppets TV show that mixed lots of original music into its shows. I was never a huge fan of the TV show as a youngster, but my daughter loves the show now and I am forced to watch more times than I would like. However, I must admit that I am becoming a bit of a fan. The music really is top-notch and although I'm not a big fan of puppets - at least they did a really good job with them in this show. Overall - if you've never experienced Fraggle Rock, this might not be the way to go - maybe check out one or two episodes on the internet before jumping into the complete series or picking up one of the individual series box sets that have already been released. But - if you are a fan, this set has everything you could possibly want including a full 20 discs of content and over 2 hours of never before seen content.
Shrek the Halls
Didn't watch it because it was a direct to DVD Shrek Holiday movie and it didn't even make me want to see it. If someone else has seen it, feel free to post your review in the comments.
This is a flick I didn't have a chance to see - description follows:
Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer) are the perfect American couple traveling from Beijing to Moscow on the legendary Trans-Siberian Express Train. The two strike a bond with another couple, Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara), who are not exactly as they appear. Unwittingly, Roy and Jessie are caught in a web of drug trafficking and murderous deceit when all four become targets of ex-KGB detective Grinko's (Ben Kingsley) investigation.
Kung Fu Panda
Supposed to come out this week, but not Tuesday. This one is getting a funny release date for Sunday November 9th and I plan on reviewing it for next week's blog post. Stay tuned.
That's it for this week. I want to thank all the people who participated in our movie discussions last week in the comments and I invite you all to join in the friendly discussion of your favorite flicks.

I had a chance to watch 'Get Smart' and it was a great movie I thought... perfect update on the early TV series... It had great humor, with some fairly good action as well... the sky-diving scene was, ironically enough, one of the most realistic sky-dive scenes I've seen in a long time... almost better than any of them in the Wesley 'I ain't gotta pay my taxes' Snipes flick 'Drop Zone'.
'Fraggle Rock' is the greatest Jim Henson creation ever! And I say this because he didn't invent the TMNT naysayers... 'Fraggle Rock'... that theme song... the characters... just remember...no matter what... dance your cares away...worries for another day...
'Shrek The Halls' was actually a rather cute little 'Shrek' thing if you enjoyed any of the first three. It wasn't actually a straight to dvd release either... it was on ABC sometime last time around Christmas... It had all the characters from the movie, and was rather a cute little thing for the family to sit down and watch.

Cody Dame's response:Yes, I remember now about Shrek the Halls being on ABC. I forgot about that, either way, I think I would still classify it as direct to DVD. I'm not too educated on realistic sky-dive scenes, so that didn't stand out to me, but my favorite line in the whole Get Smart flick was "You know, you're the only human being I know who snores when he's awake." That line just cracked me up.
We just rented Get Smart last night. It was so funny, I recommend it to everyone!

get smart was great, we got it last night and it was fantastic. especially the end part with the large lady dancing(not a spoiler as you see it on the commercials) you know what i'm talking about. The whole movie had good action and good humor.albeit some of it a little over the top, but that is partially what made it good.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for the free movie. Please don't put me in this week's drawing. It wouldn't be fair to other commenters.
Get Smart is a lot funnier than I expected. It'll probably make it into my DVD collection very soon. My kids laughed their fool heads off, and even my boyfriend laughed (it takes a lot to make him laugh). Loved the two nerds in the office.
Finally got around to watching The Happening, too (used my coupon for it). I wouldn't say it was M. Night's best movie, but it was good, in a kind of lukewarm way. Not something I feel the need to buy, but none of his are, with the possible exception of Signs.
Never really got into Fraggle Rock, I was always more of a Muppet Show kind of person. (Animal's my fave) My kids will probably talk me into renting Shrek the Halls (since we own all the movies, including the 3D short that takes place between 1 & 2), but they don't know it's out yet. I'm sure we'll have to do Kung Fu Panda first.
