February 4, 2013 —
On Sunday February 3, 2013 at approximately 5:30 PM deputies on patrol in the Town of Thompson stopped a vehicle for loud exhaust and no brake lights on Haddock Road. The driver, Mathew Irelan, 24, of Rock Hill, was taken into custody for Driving While Impaired by drugs.
Deputies noticed a brand new Gateway Computer, Canon digital camera, (both still in the box), and a bean bag chair in the back seat of the suspect's car. Further investigation revealed that the merchandise, valued at approximately $1200, was stolen from WalMart on January 30th.
Irelan was taken back to the Sheriff's Office where he was recognized by Deputy Joseph Gagliardo as a suspect on a WalMart security tape in regards to a larceny on December 1, 2013. On that date Irelan allegedly stole an HP desk top computer and a Nikon camera worth approximately $1500 dollars.
Under questioning by Sheriff's Deputy Jack Harb, Irelan also admitted to burglarizing the Brother Bruno's restaurant in the Thompson Square Mall on December 17, 2012. Approximately $1500 in cash and credit card receipts were taken in that crime.
In addition to the DWI, Mathew Irelan was charged with several counts of Grand Larceny, Possession of Stolen Property and Burglary. He was arraigned before Town of Thompson Judge Martin Miller and sent to the Sullivan County Jail without bail.

Mid-Race Incident Relegates Brian Scott to a 32nd-Place Finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway
Brian Scott and Richard Childress Racing's No. 2 Shore Lodge team finished 32nd in Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series season finale race at Homestead-Miami Speedway after a mid-race incident sent the competitor to the garage for repairs. The Boise, Idaho-native started from the 10th spot and battled a loose condition for a majority of the 200-lap event. Throughout the race, crew chief Phil Gould and the RCR crew made major chassis adjustments to alleviate the condition. While battling for position on lap 129, another competitor made contact with Scott, causing his car to hit the outside retaining wall. The crew assessed the damage and brought the No. 2 Shore Lodge Chevrolet to the garage for repairs. Scott returned to racing action with less than 50 laps remaining to salvage every spot he could, ultimately finishing 32nd and ending the 2013 Nationwide Series season seventh in the driver championship point standings. The points finish marks the highest season-ending ranking of Scott's career to date, which is his first season with RCR.
Start - 10 Finish - 32 Laps Led - 0 Points - 7th
BRIAN SCOTT QUOTE "We battled such a loose Camaro for most of the race and continued to take big swings at tightening it up on each stop. Coming off turn two, I got pinched then hit the outside wall. It's not how I envisioned ending our 2013 season, but I'm proud of the job Phil and the No. 2 Shore Lodge team did this season."
Austin Dillon Claims NASCAR Nationwide Series Title
Austin Dillon clinched the NASCAR Nationwide Series driver's championship for Richard Childress Racing on Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, marking the Welcome, N.C. driver's second NASCAR National Series title. He entered the season-finale race with an eight-marker advantage over Sam Hornish Jr. in the standings and kept the point spread tight throughout the 200-lap event. Dillon struggled with a loose-handling No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet that transitioned to tight handling in the later stages of the event. A late-race caution positioned Dillon in the fifth spot with five laps of green flag racing remaining. Although he continued to struggle with handling issues in the final laps, he finished 12th and clinched the title by three points over Hornish.
Start - 11 Finish - 12 Laps Led - 0 Points - 1st
AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE: "It was nerve wracking all the way down to the end. I'm not going to lie, I was nervous. Our car wasn't the best today, but this is a testament to the entire No. 3 team the way we pulled together. We all stayed calm. I love these guys all like brothers. We are a team. We win and lose as a team. This means so much."
Ty Dillon Closes out 2013 Season with 14th-place Finish
Ty Dillon and Richard Childress Racing's No. 33 WESCO team earned a 14th-place result on Saturday evening in the season-finale NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Starting from the 17th spot, Dillon reported to the Nick Harrison-led team his blue and white machine was too loose. Harrison called the young driver to pit road under caution on laps 46 and 98 for four tires, fuel and a round of chassis adjustments to combat the handling issues. The Richard Childress Racing team used pit strategy during the lap 146 caution period to capitalize on track position. Dillon was instructed to stay out on the racing surface while other teams pitted. The pit strategy allotted the Welcome, N.C., native the top spot for the ensuing restart. Dillon paced the field for nine circuits before fresher tires behind him caused him to fall in the running order. With minimal laps remaining in the race, Dillon took the checkered flag in the 14th position.
Start - 17 Finish - 14 Laps Led - 9 Owner's Points - 6th
TY DILLON QUOTE: "We battled the handling on the No. 33 WESCO Chevrolet for a lot of the race. We were very aero-loose and every time another car got around us, we just got so loose. This made it difficult to pass. Overall, I've had a lot of fun this year racing with the No. 33 team and have built a good notebook for next year. I'm looking forward to racing in the (NASCAR) Nationwide Series full time next season. I also want to thank WESCO for their support this year. It's been great."

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- The United States and Afghanistan have agreed to "give safe passage" to representatives of the Afghan Taliban to help them to enter future peace talks, officials announced Friday.
It may represent a significant step forward towards the resumption of peace talks that were suspended in Qatar last month, and comes just weeks ahead of a NATO summit in Chicago on the future of Afghanistan.
Speaking at a joint press conference with U.S. Special Envoy Marc Grossman and Pakistani Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani, Afghan Deputy Foreign Minister Javed Ludin said: "Time is short, peace is urgent."
New blow to US-Afghan links? Congressional delegation meets Karzai foes
"We need to find and encourage and create safe passage for peace talks," with the Afghan Taliban, he added.
His comments came after the three countries held their sixth meeting aimed at political reconciliation in Afghanistan.
A U.S. Embassy official confirmed to NBC News that the countries have agreed to allow and facilitate travel of the Afghan militants to participate in any future talks. The official said details of how it would work in practice have not been announced.
U.S. sees Taliban talks suspension as tactical move
Jilani announced the establishment of two new groups, one to represent the efforts of the three countries at the United Nations, and another responsible for "safe passage." "Safe passage will be to help bring Afghan Taliban in to peace talks," he told NBC News.
Rahmat Gul / AP
More than ten years after the beginning of the war, Afghanistan faces external pressure to reform as well as ongoing internal conflicts.
Talks were suspended last month amid a string of public setbacks that have scandalized and angered Afghans, notably U.S. soldiers' burning of copies of the Koran and the killing of 16 Afghan villagers for which a U.S. soldier is in custody.
Dr Gareth Price, senior research fellow at Britain's Chatham House think thank, told msnbc.com the move could be seen as a "confidence-building measure".
"The US has made clear it will remain in Afghanistan in some form - that's the stick, if you like, so maybe this is the carrot," he said.
On Tuesday, White House sources told Reuters that President Barack Obama's administration may hand over a Taliban detainee at Guantanamo Bay prison directly to the Afghan government in order to help revive peace talks.
As foreign forces prepare to exit Afghanistan, the White House had hoped to lay the groundwork for peace talks by sending five Taliban prisoners, some seen as among the most threatening detainees at Guantanamo, to Qatar to rejoin other Taliban members opening a political office there.
Sources: Scant evidence 'torture' aided war on terror, Senate probe finds
While that plan has not been scotched entirely, several sources familiar with preliminary discussions within the U.S. government said the United States may instead, as an initial gesture meant to revive diplomacy, send one of those detainees directly to Afghan government custody.
The sources identified the detainee as a former Taliban regional governor named Khairullah Khairkhwa, who is seen by American officials as less dangerous than other senior Taliban detainees now held at the U.S. military prison in Cuba.
Karzai slams NATO over 18-hour Kabul gunbattle
More than a year ago, the White House launched what began as a secretive diplomatic bid to coax the Taliban, the Islamist group that ruled Afghanistan until 2001, into peace talks. That campaign has become central to U.S. strategy as officials conclude the Afghan war will not end on the battlefield alone.
Five alleged members of the Taliban are being detained in Afghanistan after authorities discovered a huge amount of explosives in a truck. NBC's Lester Holt reports.
It remains far from clear whether the Taliban would embrace sharing power in Afghanistan and whether the militants are cohesive enough to agree on a joint diplomatic approach.
But Washington's strategy, before the summit in Chicago, is to build on what officials see as military progress against the Taliban, and encouraging signs from the Afghan and Pakistani governments, to heap pressure on the Islamist group.
The Chicago summit is expected to further detail plans for the withdrawal of most of NATO's 130,000 troops there by the end of 2014 and set the course for future ties between Afghanistan and the West.
After an 18-hour assault, the Taliban took responsibility for the destruction. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
U.S. efforts to broker the talks were dealt a blow last month when the Taliban suspended its participation and appeared to reject even minimal restrictions for prisoner transfer.
'Deplorable': U.S. defense chief condemns urinating Marines video
Meanwhile, President Obama has reviewed potential threats to the United States before next week's anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden, but there is no concrete evidence al-Qaida is plotting any revenge attacks, the White House said on Thursday.
U.S. Navy SEALs shot bin Laden last year in a raid on the al-Qaida leader's compound in Pakistan before dawn on May 2 local time, which was May 1 in the United States. The killing is touted by the Obama administration as one of its top national security accomplishments.
Osama bin Laden's widow, kids leave Pakistan
"At this time, we have no credible information that terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, are plotting attacks in the United States to coincide with the anniversary of bin Laden's death," White House press secretary Jay Carney said on Thursday.

U.S. forces found and killed the al-Qaida leader in the affluent Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where he had been living in a large compound.
That assessment was echoed in an FBI and Department of Homeland Security intelligence bulletin issued on Wednesday to state and local law enforcement agencies.
The bulletin said U.S. agencies "have not detected signs of homeland plotting by these groups in the intervening months."
Abbottabad: One year after bin Laden
Despite the lack of evidence of a threat, the bulletin cautioned that al-Qaida "probably would view a homeland attack on this anniversary as a symbolic victory that would help reassert the group's global relevance following the major leadership losses and operation setbacks it has suffered over the past year."
Reuters contributed to this report.

Unfortunately I'm predicting a trade for probably another PG, another poor finish and, a top ten pick in this years draft. Actually I'm predicting a Top 5 Pick- Book it!
The Knicks should play to win. Tanking does not guarantee a top 5 pick. Remember last year? The Knicks only won 23 games, and who got the #1 pick? The 33-49 Chicago Bulls. The Knicks need to just be as competitive as they can. As hard as it may seem to believe, there are plenty of quality players that can be drafted, even with the 10th, 15th, or 20th overall pick.
Examples: 10th overall-Brook Lopez(2008), 14th overall-Al Thornton(2007), 17th overall Danny Granger(2005), 15th overall Al Jefferson(2004), 18th overall David West(2003), 10th overall Caron Butler(2002), 19th overall-Zach Randolph(2001)
I do not feel the Knicks have any shot at making the playoffs this year, because they do not have enough talent to consistently win games, but that does not mean that the Knicks have to lose all of their games on purpose.
Jeremon Linbury
Unfortunately I'm predicting a trade for probably another PG, another poor finish and, a top ten pick in this years draft. Actually I'm predicting a Top 5 Pick- Book it!
eh, you play to win the game.
Knicks should focus on winning and improving as a team...but trades need to be made...you can't win with a roster of losing players or players with a lot of losing experiences.
if a trade isn't made before the deadline were heading to the lottery but if we do a trade we ave a fighting chance......bottom line a change is needed
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I repeat: Stephen A Smith said "Amare really wants to come to NY" and Shaq isn't a bad move for the next 2 yrs. I gave up on him but I'll stay patient till the deadline.
D'Antoni and Walsh have stated their focus is on being good this season, not snoozing until 2010. but that statement can be questioned.
The Knicks are currently in the 10th/11th pick slot, tied with the Bobcats. Tanking isn't really an option.
The Wizards, , Kings, Clippers, Thunder, Grizzlies and the Wolves without Jefferson are all just so bad that unless the Knicks lose nearly every game, they won't get into a good enough lottery position to make it worth it. The Knicks are a full 8.5 games ahead of the 3rd worst record in the NBA. And 4th worst for that matter since the Clippers/Thunder are tied there. Whereas they are 3.5 games behind the 8th seed.
So Tanking will not get us a low pick....especially vs the 10 lowest teams right now.
I think the Knicks will fall short of the playoffs and end up with a pick in the 12 to 16 range. While getting pick 8 to 9 would obviously be a nicer range, I think the young players will benefit more in the long run from working hard, being competitive, developing chemistry and really trying to be a good team that can be even better in the future.
Ok I voted for the "tank the season" option because it was the closest thing to what I want to see happen.
Truthfully I do not want to see us "tank" because it is embarassing to be a perinal loser each year. Plus, I think Mike needs a strong finish to keep the ever fickle New York City media and fans behind him.
With all that said, I'd still like a lottery pick this year over the playoffs. Currently we are in a crazy four team tie for 8th worst record in the league. Lets just say that we finish with the 8th worst record, then we would draft anywhere between 8th and 11th ( mind you 11th is highly improbable, it is more likely we get a top 3 than 11th with 8th worst record) we make the playoffs and it is 13th for sure. We are talking about missing out on 5 projected better players all for a first round sweep.
Now I'm no draft expert the extent of my knowledge is from NBA Draft Express, but it looks like there are some players who could fill our SG and Center needs in the lottery.
I look at the playoff as a consolation prize if you have a losing record. Really making the playoffs with a losing record makes you a playoff team by default. Not that you played good, it's just that the rest of the feild was so bad!
Now consider that by missing the playoffs there is a chance-albeit pretty slim with the 8th worst record- of winning the lottery or even just sliding into the top 3. Now the top 3 projected players from NBA Draft Express are.....
2.James Harden
3.Greg Monroe
Picks two and three certainley fill a void, add Rubio to the mix and now missing the playoffs doesnt seem too bad.
I want to see us really become a winner not just a team that is looking good compared to the low expectations that the Isiah era has bought about. And that is going to take time and rebuilding. And it is much better to rebuild with lottery picks.
Now if this draft was projected to be as deep as the Oden/Durant class and we could snag a lottery caliber player with the 14th pick then yeah that would be the win win. But even that scenerio doesnt get us a crack at the talent at the top of the draft.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Honestly I wouldn't care if we lost every game for the rest of the season, as long as we played hard and stay competetive. Dream week was not too bad, close games all of them, could have gone our way with a bit of luck. The 3 games after were proper busts though, one game thrown by a coach, one game thrown by a player and one game total blowout.
8th would be nice but it's not realistic unless we get some new blood, especially since Toronto *should* overtake us in the Atlantic and the Nets *should* pull away considering their roster is considerably better than ours.
I voted for the tanking of the season.
The poll should have read:
Would you prefer a decent pick or a playoff birth?
Considering our lack of ability in the waning moments of a close one & our bi-polar team personality, a playoff birth just seems vain.
A team plays with the common goal of every other team; to win.
We're not winners yet. Look at our team.
I'd keep none bar Lee, Chandler & Gallinari if given the option to do some spring cleaning. Maybe Duhon.
An inevitable first round, 4 game flogging isn't inspiring. A potentially top 5 pick at least has a bit of hope behind it.
But would you really want an 8th seed if we are 38 and 44? It would still represent yet another losing season for us. And again we are just benefiting from being in a weak Conference if we made the playoffs not at all indicating a talented team.
If we were in Phoenix,Utah's or Dallas' position then I'd say yeah it's playoffs or bust. Because those are teams that are truly good enough to be in the playoffs. Truth of the matter we are not a playoff team yet.
I love the progress we have made this year, Mike Dantoni and Donnie Walsh have given us something to be excited about again, and really that is good enough.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"

I'm not interested in your business unless you want an ear to hear in private, I'll listen to you compassionately, only offer advice if you want it and then I'll forget most of it anyway. I don't waste much time talking about myself either.
Looking for some easy going people to team up with! :) Preferably around my age :) I work full time at Malmsbury Youth Justice Prison. I work long hours, 10AM-11PM - two days on, two days off and every second weekend I work Saturday-Monday. In my free time I love to workout, Im a health freak - and really into crossfit training. I love travelling and go overseas at least once a year for a holiday. Im really independent and like my own space during the week as work is pretty full on but I love to socialise on my weekends. I have a great group of friends and looking to find some people I can live with that I can have a friendship with. Im super friendly and fuss free. Non Smoker - Clean & Tidy. Hate clutter and mess. Animal lover
I am a easy going guy, who is social and tidy. I am currently compleating my degree as well as working full time. In my spare time i enjoy a social drink/chat, sport and relaxing
I'm tidy, kind, chilled girl, I like being social with my housemates and working together. Looking for more work. Love animals.
Very easy going. Work away as a rep on the road so not home a lot. Have kids but most likely not visit as I'll see them at their Mothers. Non smoker. Enjoy outdoors, regularly go to gym and walks. Looking for a clean house, good people.
I will be studying at LaTrobe in Bendigo or Melbourne (Master of Social Work). I am very quiet, don't drink, don't smoke, next to no furniture, very clean and tidy, I cook simple meals. Very easy going and undemanding. Thank you for your time
Easy going, friendly, and reliable
Easy going, clean, happy, helpful, considerate of others. Wanting to move to the area for work as I've just finished my diploma of nursing. At the moment I live in south east Melbourne. For fun I go out and catch up with friends, exercise and love to just hang out. Won't say no to going out for a drink either.
I'm Sophie, I'm French and I'm about to move to Australia to teach French in highschools. I am curious about everything and I love to meet new people, that's why I can't imagine moving into a studio by myself.
Hi Everyone! I've just finished my degree in Melbourne and am looking to move to the area as a graduate teacher early next year! I've been living in sunny Coffs Harbour this past year, and Melbourne the three years before that. However, I am originally from country Vic. I'm easy-going, considerate, clean and reliable. I'm sociable and like meeting new people, but also enjoy my own space as well. I would like to live with similar people (like-minded young professionals), who would enjoy hanging out and having a casual drink.
A pretty quiet and chill individual, working at Dan Murphy's in town. I'll be starting my Cert II in Floristry at a Melbourne campus Mon-Tues-Wed so I'll be out of the house quite a bit. Looking for an affordable place with people who are fun to hang out with but are also able to do their own thing.
Hey everyone, What makes me great to live with? Well, I've got a cheeky sense of humour; I haven't poisoned myself or anyone else with my cooking and work in IT - free IT support for friends and family.

By Laura Pottorff, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension agent, horticulture, plant pathology
Canker diseases are common on Colorado trees. Cankers appear as sunken areas on branches or the trunk. A cankered area also will be of a different color than surrounding bark.
The fungi that causes canker diseases are weak pathogens and attack only trees under environmental stress. Symptoms appear at any time during the growing season, but usually show up during hot weather. Branches and associated leaves wilt. Several branches on one side of the tree might be affected, or a branch here and there might show symptoms. If symptoms are present, look for cankers on branches or the trunk on the side of the tree that's affected.
To check for cankers, run your fingers along the bark to check for little orange or black bumps or pimple-like structures. These are the fruiting structures of the fungus that is responsible for the disease. In the spring of the year, many of these "pimples" will ooze an orange coiled thread-like spore tendril.
To control canker diseases, affected limbs must be pruned. Chemical control is not effective.
If you don't feel or see any of the pimples or orange tendrils, the wilting may be from a different cause.

Ever wanted a place you could truly call your own? This "Swett deal" might be for you.
Lance Benson is sole owner of the tiny town of Swett, South Dakota. Now he's trying to sell it for $400,000.
Benson told The Associated Press he wants to devote more time to his traveling concession business. He bought the hamlet in rural southwestern South Dakota in 1998, gave it to his ex-wife in their divorce and re-claimed it in 2012.
Once home to 40 people, Swett now contains a bar, workshop, three trailers and a house, where Benson and his current wife live.
The town itself it pretty quiet. But the bar is the only watering hole within 10 miles and has become quite popular among local cowboys and wheat growers, according to the Rapid City Journal.

A Trip Down the Canyon of Heroes…
I wish we could do this more often…
Josh Haner/The New York Times
Those were the words of Yogi Berra as he travelled down the Canyon of Heroes yesterday during the Yankees Parade in New York City.
I am right there with ya, Yogi! Let's do it again next year!
Andrew Mills/The Star Ledger
Jennifer Brown/The Star Ledger
Friday was the day for Yankees fans all over the World. Of course, most of us couldn't make the trip to the City, but about two million fans lined the streets as the floats bearing the Yankee players made their way down Manhattan.
Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post
When the season started, who would have thought this would have been possible? A-Rod was on the DL after undergoing hip surgery, so the starting third baseman was Cody Ransom. The bullpen was imploding regularly, led by Jose Veras. Mark Teixeira forgot his bat in Tampa. And there were regular calls for the head of manager Joe Girardi. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that little 0-8 start against the guys from Beantown. Nevertheless, Alex Rodriguez returned in May and the team, figuratively and literally, never looked back. When Boston was winning their championships, they displayed a 'don't quit' mentality, and that was never more evident for the Yankees than this season.
Antonelli/NY Daily News
The off-season acquisitions were tremendous. I know, the jokes about the Yankees' financial advantage have reverberated throughout the country. I think Conan O'Brien's line was "It's amazing what hard work, determination and a half billion bucks will do for you!". While I agree that they have the revenue to keep the team competitive year in and year out, if you don't spend the money on the right players, you will not win. Every year is a challenge to put together the right mix of team chemistry. Sometimes it is less about ability than it is cohesiveness. GM Brian Cashman certainly deserves much credit for putting together the 2009 Yankees. I am not sure that this could have happened a few years ago when there was a clear power struggle between the Yankees front office in New York and the group in Tampa, led by Mark Newman.
Kathy Willens/AP
During the season, I felt the Yankees needed to make a move for a frontline starter and it was difficult to watch Cliff Lee go to Philadelphia and Scott Kazmir to the Angels. But in the end, Cash was right to stand pat. We didn't give up any major talent, and now super prospect Austin Jackson stands ready in the wings to take command of center field. A trade for a quality starting pitcher could have potentially cost the Yankees Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, A-Jax, or one of the other high level prospects that can contribute to Yankee success in 2010 or 2011. So, thanks to Cash for executing a brilliant plan and sticking to it. His perseverance guaranteed the trip down the Canyon of Heroes, and hopefully ensures that this will not be the last one for owner George Steinbrenner.

In other notes, the Angels acted very quickly in re-signing former Yankee Bobby Abreu to a two-year $19 million deal. It is a good move on their part. He helped to energize an Angels line up that came within one team of making it to the World Series.
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
The Red Sox were also very quick to make a move as they acquired young, under-achieving outfielder Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins. What, are the Marlins the minor league farm club for the Red Sox? This is starting to feel like what the Kansas City A's were to the Yankees back in the 50's. Nevertheless, Hermida is a former first round pick and is only 25. The Red Sox gave up a couple of minor league pitching prospects but not any of their upper shelf talent. This was a very good low-risk, high-reward move by Theo Epstein.
Lynne Sladky/AP
The Yankees primary concerns heading into the off-season will be the statuses of Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon, and Andy Pettitte. Of the three, the only one I expect to return is Andy Pettitte. I think Pettitte will take his usual time to decide if he'll return but then he'll sign a one-year deal somewhere around or after Christmas. Matsui, the World Series MVP, and Damon are less certain. Time and again, Matsui delivered the key hit to rescue the Yanks. However, he is a liability in the field and the Yanks have too many DH-types. I like Damon's attitude and versality, however, I'd like to see someone with a stronger arm in left field. You'll never see Damon gun someone down at the plate, unless the runner is Drew Carey…
I think both Xavier Nady and Chien-Ming Wang are gone, although I do have reluctance in seeing both leave.
Kim Klement/US Presswire
In Los Angeles, it looks like Manny Ramirez will be back for another year with Joe Torre and the Dodgers. Manny exercised his $20 million player option on Friday. I think Manny has a lot to prove during the coming year. I cannot say that I followed the team closely during the season, but it seemed to me that the Dodgers were a stronger unit while Manny was serving his 50-game suspension. It will be interesting to see which Manny shows up in the spring.
The fourth-ranked University of Iowa Hawkeyes look to extend their streak against Northwestern. I have been a Hawkeyes fan for as long as I can remember…I guess it's a product of growing up in an Iowa farming community. The stakes are very high for the 9-0 Hawks at this point in the season. They lead the Big Ten, however, the Ohio State Buckeyes loom in the horizon. The Buckeyes play the Penn State Nittany Lions in a very pivotal game this weekend, and then the Hawkeyes and Buckeyes will meet for the final regular season game. I'll be pulling for Penn State, but hopefully the Hawks can continue their ride in the driver's seat. Of course, they have been cursed by the cover of Sports Illustrated so I am a little uneasy…
Hey Julia, I was reading the Boston Globe and read something about the Boston Celtics getting "sunburned". I hope they're okay! LOL! So much for the streak! J

Yeah – that fall sun can be a killer! And nice to see you reading a quality newspaper! lol! Yeah – the C's had a tough night and I did notice that the Lakers won last night – but I was surprised that they didn't need OT to beat a 1-5 team!😉 The Hot Stove has begun! I like our latest pick up from the Marlins – here's hoping that Jeremy Hermida is as successful as our last pick up from our "farm-team" in Florida!
Oh – and don't forget to cheer on Tom Brady tomorrow! It must be great having a New England Patriot helping your fantasy team so much!😉
When I read the words "Jose Veras," I got the shakes! LOL. Did the bullpen improve in the second half or what? Amazing transformation. I would feel awful if Wang isn't brought back. Obviously, he's struggled to stay healthy, but he was such a good pitcher. Maybe he's not done, but I guess we'll know Cashman's plans soon enough. Should be an interesting Hot Stove season!
Sure, Wang hasn't stayed healthy this year, but he can be an ace at his best, so I think it would be wise to hold onto him once again.
I would be remiss if I did not congratulate your Yankees on their WS win. At least the Phillies made it a series! Your wagers with Julia were also entertaining to watch, and both of you were informative, and good sports. Congratulations, Scott!🙂
It will be interesting to see what moves the Yankees will make, since there are rumblings that had not been heard much before, about actually re-signing Damon and/or Matsui, and if not, who might replace them. CC finally showed his full potential in winning not only the WS title with you, but also in being the running for the Cy Young. Even if you do not end up signing J-Bay (and I am still not sure he will sign with you, but we'll see!), the Yankees will have decisions of their own to make. Fire up the Hot Stove!
Congratulations again, Scott! Take care.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
At age 22, Dan Petry had emerged as the No. 3 starter on the Detroit Tigers in 1981, the year of this Topps card. Petry pitched 141.0 innings that year and was 10-9 with a career-best 3.00 ERA along with seven complete games and two shutouts. Petry's toughest loss had to be Sept. 23 in Baltimore. He and Dennis Martinez were locked in a scoreless duel until Jim Dwyer homered to lead off the bottom of the ninth off Petry.

Michael Young's Jedi Mind Trick Still Needs Work
The Michael Young saga in Texas has officially come to an end with Young agreeing to move to third base in order to make room at shortstop for the rookie Elvis Andrus. Despite his initial fussy defiance towards Rangers GM Jon Daniels' dictatorial decision, Young now appears content to accept his fate as his inability to master the Jedi mind trick is exposed once again.
Remember? Back in 2003, Young told management he would not move from second base to shortstop to make room for Alfonso Soriano; but the force was weak with him and he eventually did what he was told.
I highly doubt we'll see an end to his failure at misdirecting the thoughts of those in power. It just seems to be his m.o. To prove this, the video technicians at RSBS located early footage of Michael Young as a little leaguer, which documents his sloppy approach to controlling the minds of others:
Pay no attention to the anachronisms in this video. They're there to trick you.
And don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
10 Comments
I love this video! I bet the kid is now 27, running an Internet company and planning to buy the Cubs. "I got a double!" LOL. Of course, his mother could have done a better job of explaining the game to the poor boy.
The batter is young, Julia… Michael Young.
Jane — his mother was trying to make everybody feel good, which is the problem with little league. Sometimes it's necessary to know you failed.
I would have immediately benched that kid. Firstly for his lack of hustle and secondly for his clear lack of understanding of the rules of the game. He also brought shame to the Diamondback uniform.
That video made my day… no joke! And LOL, the "the batter is young–Michael Young". Maybe master he will this jedi knight trick (my failed attempt at Yoda talk). "But what did I do??"–I'm still laughing.
May the force be with you,
I kind of sympathize with the guy a bit–the real Michael Young, that is. He gets bumped from second to short. Then he wins a gold glove at his new position and they move him again. I remember John Valentin put up a similar stink in the Red Sox clubhouse when Nomar made his debut. I think he got two doubles that day.
Steve T.
Any boy donning a purple Diamondback hat is a precious child of God. .
p.s. – The video clearly confirms he was safe.
Russell — He was doing his best Eric Byrnes impression. Cut him some slack.
Elizabeth — And with you… always.
Steve — Yeah, I feel somewhat sorry for him, but in the end, it's his job to do what the team tells him to do and he gets paid well so he should be like the rest of us schlepps who do what our bosses tell us to do. y'feel me?
Matt — The child is not Jesus… but if he was "safe" then he's the next best thing.
Baseball Fan — Exactly. Thx!
Haha that was an awesome Michael Young video. He does need a little polish on it, but I give him an A for effort.

The silent man stole quickly into the mansion, burglary was his speciality and he was being well paid for this felony. Climbing through the window he came upon his inside man, inside woman he corrected himself; although disliked for her vanity, fair Victoria had much more desperate flaws, foremost among them was a great desire for wealth, gained by any means. A brief whispered plan was followed by Victorias gasp as the true invisible nature of the man was put forth as he slipped from shadow to shadow in the house in search of his goal. Unfortunately, the gasp had awoken a manservant who sprung upon them on the stair,
Carpe Jugulum! Victoria exclaimed in panic,
No its Carpe Diem you fool! the manservant cried, pleased at his discovery of Victoria stealing up the stair at one oclock in the morning. But her demand had been heard by the thief and the manservant gurgled suddenly before dropping dead and rolling down the stairs, leaving a bright trail of blood.
Shortly after they came upon the room of the man who would consider himself to be king of his breached castle. The man swept through the room, searching for his prize before Victoria strode over to the bed and saw the document beneath the pillow of the sleeping man. Another death later they were safely outside the mansion, and the silent man charged Victoria with creating a valid reason for the two dead men in the house,
Faux stories are not my forte she whined, but was silenced with a sharp look from the well paid criminal before he disappeared from sight once more.
In the morning two officers of the law appeared at the crime scene after being alerted by a beautiful young woman in hysterics. Said one to the other upon seeing the first deceased body,
This is a crime and deserves punishment
Indeed it is and yes it does, replied the other, this is indeed a bleak house he spoke upon seeing the master of the house dead in his bed. They searched for clues and found a trail in the garden, which when followed, led to the desert to the east of the great city,
He has no hope of surviving if he crossed that large sand dune
Indeed replied the other.
Over lunch they continued their investigation,
At least with ham, letter spaghetti never engenders OCD alphabetising, because you see, there is no spaghetti
Victoria later walked over the sand to find the murdering thief, who heard her coming and so surprised her before her timely death with the words,
Be still O wulf and withdrawing his dagger from her side, strode off into the twilight, leaving the paper with the dead woman.
HGWells - might be an Infinite Monkey
Goethe (and Gounod, and others - Oh My!)
A. N. Mous
You did indeed span many genres! And I suspect that if you searched, you'd find that somebody once wrote a book called The Silent Man, and Fool, and Victoria, and The Sleeping Man, and Timely Death, and maybe even Dagger in her Side,,,

Works wonders
Posted by cristal on Sep 29, 2010
We use this for acid-indigestion; for sore throats (mixed with honey to coat throat...nasty, but it works); even for facial toners.
Posted by Reviewer1874641 on Mar 15, 2011
Very fresh apple flavour, bright and zingy. Use as both a health drink with water, and in salad dressing.
GREAT PRODUCT a YES
Posted by Reviewer1914646 on Oct 05, 2010
I read a lot of literature years ago on how good and important Raw Organic ACV is good for you. It can't hurt your body and its only good for you. I have varicose veins in my legs and twice a day, every day I put the ACV on cotton and rub my entire legs to just above my knees and I also drink some. I pour at least a tsp or more in a glass of water or a healthy drink and drink it. You need to get it into your system to help. Read a book on it. There are many good reasons why this ACV is good for your body. Remember - It Can Not Hurt You.
Great product very beneficial
Posted by Honest-Reviews on Jul 03, 2012
This is one of the few products everybody in my household uses it simply works and does what the internet says its supposed to one of the greatest benefits I have had from this is weight loss without effort.
Keeps my pH balanced
Posted by Reviewer2236265 on Jul 05, 2012
I use those pH tester strips now and then and as long as I put a little squirt of this in my water and drink throughout the day my body pH stays within the middle-range. It doesn't taste too bad in small amounts (with water).
Healthy vinegar!
Posted by Reviewer2346507 on Jul 21, 2012
Raw organic apple cider has the 'mother' of vinegar that makes it so beneficial. The 'mother' is the sediment you see on the bottom of the jar which is made up of healthy bacteria and living nutrients. Distilled processed vinegars have been stripped of these nutrients. Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar tastes great with olive oil on fresh cooked chopped beets.

I use this stuff on my skin, works great for acne and just overall good for my skin. Also use it as a natural deodorant, antacid, lots of stuff. Huge bottle, great price.
the best
Posted by Reviewer2029673 on Aug 17, 2012
This is actually one of my fav products from iherb, i started using it about a year ago and don't plan to ever stop. I use it for cooking, cleaning, beauty recipes, and along with honey for health.
ACV addicted
Posted by Reviewer2430825 on Aug 25, 2012
I drink a little ACV every morning with water upon waking and I don't feel the same if I skip it. This size is ideal since I use it for drinking, on salads, in dips, cooking in general, and on spots that appear on my face every so often. I recommend this product to all!
Posted by 5103906271227379712 on Sep 25, 2013
I recently discovered and have been using ACV as a healthy hair rinse. I am in my 30's, and I only wish I had known about this in my 20's. But, oh well, live and learn. I have what I consider one of the worst hair TYPES on the planet (dry, coarse, tightly curly, very thick, and altogether, incorrigible). Unknowingly, I have done everything short of setting it on fire to damage it - chemical treatments, heavy products, coloring, hot tools, extensions, etc. Basically, my hair needed to go on life support. I researched and researched, and finally stumbled on articles and reviews raving the benefits of using ACV and how it can help your hair grow healthy and strong. Most importantly noted was that ACV improves the health condition of your scalp, cleansing it to rebalance the ph and remove product build up, fungi and bacteria. To compound the disadvantage of my hair, my scalp had dandruff issues and itchiness most likely due to my eczema. Not no more. This ACV has been like the couples counselor I needed to help fix my relationship with it! I have been rinsing AFTER conditioning for three weeks now, and MY GAWD, my hair and scalp are anew! It's almost miraculous. My recipe for a hair rinse is simple and works for me - 8oz of ACV and 8 oz of warm water in a bottle, shake, pour entire contents slowly over hair and scalp, let sit 5 mins, rinse for 5 secs. Once or twice a week. So, purchase this product and buy it in bulk. I can't wait to see what it will do for my skin and body - and 555 people can't be wrong!

All Star Sunday
I kicked off All Star Sunday by meeting some friends at Mike Shannon's for a couple beers. It was great to see the city so festive and full of people. Unfortunately, it was a gloomy day.
We had seats in the bleachers for the All Star Futures / Celebrity Softball game. We caught the first inning and then the rain started to come down. Before long, they were rolling out the tarp onto the field and my friends and I were forced to purchase these attractive Cardinal ponchos.
We passed a three-hour rain delay in the stadium, chatting with other fans and catching up. Then the rain stopped and they resumed the game around 5:30pm. I watched a couple more innings. I cant say it was particularly exciting since the stadium was pretty empty and I wasn't familiar with the players. The biggest cheers were for Cardinal future star Brett Wallace, who walked twice while I was watching.
I had to leave in the middle of the game due to family dinner plans. I'm from St. Louis so I wanted to catch up with folks while I was in town for the festivities. I was a bit disappointed to not get to see any of the celebrity game. I'm a Nelly fan, so I was pleased to later see him on the highlights for his diving catch and home run.
I did see Billy Bob Thornton at the airport when I left town, so I guess that could be considered to make up for it, but since his pants were falling down and he had plumber's butt, it was really more than I wanted to see.
Check out all my All Star Festivities photos

I wish I could have been in St Louis for the All Star Sunday and the HR Derby and the game, soon I'll be back in the Lou reunited with the beloved Redbirds.
You are making me remember that time I went to Mike Shannon's and hung with some very good friends there. Nelly was wonderful in the softball game.

Those itching to enjoy some winter sports before spring don't have to look any further than the Capitol Square this weekend.
The annual Madison Winter Festival kicked off with sledding, skiing, snowshoeing, and more.
Local sports stores like Fontana Sports offered free demos and gear rental.
Adam Remus, Fontana Sports assistant manager, said the event helps to offer families an opportunity to enjoy Wisconsin's winter sports.
"We're just into it to get families involved, just to know the community," Remus said. "There is great skiing in Madison and this is a great way for people to try it."
It took more than 90 truckloads of snow to transform the square into a winter wonderland. The Madison Winter Festival concludes Sunday at 4 p.m.

A Colorado woman is busted after police say she offered $45 topless haircuts and solicited sex from customers.
Suzette Hall, 46, also known as Suzette Dawe, was arrested at her Loveland home last week on charges of practicing cosmetology without a license, the Longmont Times-Call reported.
Hall had opened the Rebel Beauty salon in nearby Johnstown with an unidentified partner.
But the woman told police she ordered Hall to leave after she started her topless stylings.
Hall's partner also said she found used condoms in the salon trash cans and told police Hall had admitted to receiving money for sex at the salon and during "house calls," police said.
According to police, Hall had been offering her services online from her Loveland home.

text: So I have been going to my dentist to do a root canal, today they were supposed to finish but said they have to refer me to a specialist in order to get it complete. I have been in excruciating pain, I mean pain like I've never felt before for the past weeks on and off last night being the worst. Long story short, my dentist prescribed vicodin to manage the pain. I called my dr. to ask her if it was safe during breastfeeding and she said it was ok, it was level 3. Has anyone been on vicodin or other pain killers while breastfeeding? i have some milk pumped but she won't take the bottle from me. I feel bad about taking the meds, but I can't bare anymore pain.
