DURHAM - Quinn Cook can call at any hour. That's the agreement.
They talk basketball. On tough days, when Cook is down because he misses his father, Ted, the conversations take a different tone.
Either way, Nolan Smith's advice is often the same.
Go to the gym.
Five years ago, after learning that his dad had died, a grieving Cook listened to Smith's recommendation and found solace that night at the Capital Sports Complex in District Heights, Md.
When Cook missed all 11 of his field-goal attempts in a scoreless performance against Wake Forest earlier this season, he quickly returned to the Cameron Indoor Stadium court and practiced his shooting. Three days later, after posting a career-high 27 points in a home win against Clemson, he headed to Duke's practice facility and started preparing for an upcoming game at N.C. State.
The gym is a sanctuary for Cook, a sophomore point guard who will start against rival North Carolina for the first time Wednesday night. Last year, as a freshman reserve, he sprinted across the floor after Austin Rivers' game-winning shot and celebrated in front of furious UNC students.
Pulling his jersey away from his chest, Cook proudly displayed the school name and number. He was wearing No. 2, just like Smith had as a member of the Blue Devils.
Their lives and basketball careers are eerily similar. Smith was 8 when his father, Derek, died of a heart attack. Cook's dad died of cardiac arrest in 2008, and Smith considered skipping the second Duke-UNC game of his freshman year to attend the funeral for a man he called "Uncle Ted."
A McDonald's All-American as a prep senior at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, Smith made big strides as a Duke sophomore. Switch the name to his god-brother's, and the sentence still rings true.
"It's crazy how our lives are very similar," Cook says. "He had a tough freshman year, just like I did, so we were talking constantly. This year, he's been my biggest critic. If I have a bad game, he'll be the first to tell me. If I have a good game, he'll be the first to tell me."
It's impossible to know for sure how the high-five originated, but Derek Smith is often credited with inventing and popularizing it while he played for Louisville's high-flying, championship-winning team in 1980.
Roughly two decades later, when Nolan Smith and Quinn Cook were together in Memphis, Tenn., representing the Mitchellville (Md.) Trailblazers travel program, a high-five from Nolan ignited a lasting friendship with Quinn, who is five years younger.
"I got close with his family at an early age," Nolan says. "From there, he became like my little brother."
Many men became father figures to Nolan after his dad passed. D.C. Assault co-founder Curtis Malone, who married Nolan's mother, Monica, and became his stepfather, was one of them. So was "Uncle Ted."
Whether Quinn was there or not, Nolan would visit the Cook family's home and watch television with Ted. And when Nolan graduated from Oak Hill in 2007, Ted offered support by traveling with Quinn to Virginia for the ceremony.
With a program in hand, Ted wrote a letter to Nolan during the ceremony, telling Nolan how proud his dad would be and asking him to look out for Quinn. Looking back now, Nolan believes Ted knew he wasn't going to be around for a long time.
Less than a year later, Ted died when his heart stopped on an operating table. The loss devastated Quinn, his older sister, Kelsey, and their mother, Janet, who had met Ted when they were students at Howard University in Washington. The funeral at Howard's Dunbarton Chapel was scheduled for March 8, the same day Nolan and sixth-ranked Duke would play host to top-ranked North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Nolan said he talked with his mother and older sister, Sydney, about arranging a flight home. Quinn, a high school freshman at the time, told his friend to remain in North Carolina and play the game. That's what Ted would have wanted.
"Before taking the court, you're thinking about that person, and you play with a heavy heart. You get between the lines, you gotta play, and that's what I did," said Smith, who contributed eight minutes off the bench and scored two points in a 76-68 loss. "After the game, you're right back to thinking about what you were thinking about."
Ted Cook and Janet Stevens were broke college students planning a big wedding, but they didn't want to burden their parents. Ted, who was in law school at Howard, suggested to Janet, an undergraduate, that they elope.
Thirty years ago, they went to the Bahamas and got married.
"It was beautiful," Janet says.
Ted and Janet, with children Kelsey and Quinn in tow, returned to the Bahamas several times for New Year's celebrations with other Howard-affiliated families. Before the Atlantis resort had a makeshift basketball arena, Quinn would spend hours playing hoops on an open court there.
That's why Thanksgiving was such an emotional time for the Cook family.
Participating in the 2012 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, Duke beat Minnesota, VCU and Louisville on consecutive days to capture the prestigious title. And Quinn, who had entered the starting lineup in the Blue Devils' final Bahamas tune-up, was named the MVP.
With his mom and sister in attendance, Quinn scored Duke's final eight points in a 76-71 victory over Louisville.
"It was very poetic the way it happened," Janet says. "That's where it all started with his mom and dad getting married. It's bizarre that's where he had his breakout tournament."
When Quinn was young, he was a bit of a ballhog, and his mom always wanted to know if he was sharing with other kids. Quinn is averaging 11.8 points this season for the Blue Devils, and he's made his mark as a passer by ranking second in the ACC at 6.0 assists per game.
Challenged to seize the starting position as a sophomore, Quinn worked on becoming a better player and leader during the offseason, even traveling to Portland to work out with Nolan Smith, who is a second-year NBA pro.
"When we were together, we were talking about everything, life in general, and we spent a lot of time in the gym," Nolan says.
Nolan understands the rigors of playing for Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. And he knows what it's like to look in the stands during a game or after one and wish your father were there. That's part of the reason he and his sister started the Sydney and Nolan Smith Foundation in 2011.
Their mission is to offer support and resources to children who are struggling with the loss of a loved one. Quinn dealt with such sadness. So did his good friend Eric Atkins, a guard at Notre Dame.
When the Cook family needs help, the Smiths respond. Monica assists Janet, her sorority sister. Sydney acts as a big sister to Kelsey, and Nolan reaches out to Quinn.
Maybe it's with a phone call on a difficult day, like Father's Day. Or Ted's birthday, which was Monday.
An afternoon tweet from Quinn's account started with, "Happy Birthday Superman." He finished with the eight-character message that concludes every one of his posts: RiP DAD!
The same minute, Nolan wished "Uncle Ted" a happy birthday.
Quinn is making you proud, Nolan wrote, and just like you asked, I've got his back and always will.
"I'm blessed," Quinn says, "to have someone like Nolan in my life."

Cleric killed
In the latest violence to hit the country Friday, at least 100 people were killed in incidents across the country, according to the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria.
On Thursday a suicide bomber struck one of the main mosques in Damascus, killing a top Sunni cleric and longtime al-Assad supporter, Syrian state-run media.
Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Bouti was teaching religious class at the mosque when he was killed during the blast, state-run media reported.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but al-Bouti is hated among rebels for his support of al-Assad.
In one of his final sermons at the Umayyad, or Great Mosque, of Damascus, al-Bouti called on Syrians to stand by the government and condemned rebels as "terrorists."
As has become common in violent attacks that kill civilians, the government and the opposition accused one another of being behind the attack.
The LCC said the area where the mosque sits is near al-Assad's party headquarters.
"The whole area was under the full control of the regime forces with much military reinforcement," the LCC said.
The government, meanwhile, accused rebels of being behind the attack.
Sunni Arabs make up the majority of Syria's population and are dominant in the opposition, but some support the government, controlled by Alawites -- an offshoot of Shiitism.
More than 70,000 people have died in Syria since unrest began two years ago, the United Nations has said.

Scarborough Beach State Park
There's more than a mile of white sand at Scarborough Beach in the state park of the same name on the ocean side of Prouts Neck in Scarborough. Beach goers will enjoy plenty of room to stretch out and relax in the sun, take a refreshing swim, and comb the beach for seashells. Lifeguards are on duty during the peak summer season.
A concession stand known as The Shack offers snacks and cold drinks, and rents beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. Showers and toilets are available. Pets are not allowed on the beach in summer. There is parking for 285 cars on site and another 125 just off site, but these can fill up early so plan accordingly.
Make a visit to nearby Portland Head Light, an iconic coastal Maine landmark, which guards the sea lane to Portland Harbor. Adjacent Fort Willams Park has picnic tables and grills, walking trails, a pocket beach and numerous old fort structures to explore. At the Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center take a guided or self-guided tour of Maine's largest salt marsh on foot or by canoe to get a close-up view of its bountiful birdlife. The center also hosts natural history exhibits and a nature store, and has canoes for rent.

- Modern yarn keeps the chill off your shoulders
- Pretty chiffon trim
- Rayon Nylon Blend
- Machine wash, gentle cycle.

I actually loved it
Bought both colors on sale. Versatile. Dressier fabric. Soft. It is less boxy appearing if busty but I can see how it would be a complaint.
December 30, 2012
Ok in an emergency
I needed it last-minute so my shoulders would be covered. I wouldn't recommend it but it got the job done, and on sale it's not so bad
November 5, 2012
Boxy Sweater
I ordered this sweater in black hoping that it would coordinate well with my sleeveless dresses and tops but I ended up returning it because it was a boxy fit even when I got this in xs. I was expecting a lightweight and soft sweater but got one that felt rough, hard and stiff.
October 21, 2012
The material is cheap and ugly - it looks like something you'd expect to find at a low-end discount retailer. It feels like it will not withstand much wear or many washings. The worst part is that it's scratchy - which wouldn't necessarily be a problem since it, in theory, is mostly covering body parts that are wearing a dress or a top. However, this is even scratchy at the edges, so it wears at your neck all day long. I'm keeping it only because my office is freezing and I need as many cardigans, shrugs, etc. as possible for the sake of variety, but this will not be my favorite of the rotation.
September 12, 2012
Ugly sweater
I had high hopes for this dress topper because of the quality of other items I've received from the Limited online, but this was just plain ugly. I got it in the beige color hoping it would go well with many items in my wardrobe, but the thing is shapeless with weird detailing that makes it look like it was designed for an 80-year-old. I returned it in the store to get the Banded Bolero instead, which is awesome. Wish it came in more colors than black.
September 5, 2012
I loved this Dress topper when I first got it. It is the perfect color for the dress I bought it for, but I've only been able to wear it a couple of times. I followed the cleaning directions but the crepe (or whatever fabric that actually is) edges have all frayed. It looks terrible and unprofessional so now I can't wear it OR the dress to work since the dress is sleeveless.

I never knew why it was called the Hot Stove, and I suppose in the age of Google and Wikipedia, I could easily find the answer to that question. Ultimately, it does not matter so I will simply continue on in blissful ignorance. Sports has become a 24 hour a day, 365 investment. Baseball is no different. As soon as the season ends, whether your team won or lost the World Series, the question is the same, what about next season? It does not take long before everyone wonders where free agents are going, how much money they are going to get, and who is the favorite next year. The Yankees are already facing questions like, are they going to resign Johnny Damon? What about Matsui? Is Pettite going or coming back? What about Holliday, Bay, and Halladay? I mean this team just won the World Series. I am going to be honest. I do not have any inside information. No one at any of the NL East teams is feeding me information.
Here is what I do know and it has been said by much smarter and more eloquent people than I. You cannot win in the offseason. So let's take a stab at some of the more popular off season rumors and take the opposite position and see where that gets us.
Popular Theory #1
The Phillies are only looking to add a third baseman and complimentary pieces. Otherwise, they are still the team to beat.
I have to be honest, despite the nausea that ensued from watching the World Series as a Mets fan, I was envious of the way the Phillies were constructed. However, that same World Series exposed a lot of problems that the other NL East teams were not in a position to capitalize on last year. Cole Hamels is a question mark. Can Joe Blanton and J.A. Happ be counted on to perform as well as they did last season? Jayson Werth a 40 HR guy? Did Brad Lidge turn into a pumpkin? The least of the Phillies problems is 3rd base. With the Phillies lineup, they need someone slightly better at the hot corner than, say, Roger Dorn. The Phillies though could use a Randy Wolf type starter or try and catch lightening in a bottle with Eric Bedard. Rafael Soriano is available and if he can stay healthy, he would be a great setup man, push Madson to the 7th inning and also serve as insurance should Brad Lidge regress further into pumpkin pie. (Hope you appreciate the seasonal reference.) I understand that the Phillies will not overspend for John Lackey, but pitching wins. You cannot outslug everyone, especially in the playoffs. The Phillies need to find find a wily veteran to play third base, like the Marlins did with Jorge Cantu, and hope for the best. The rest of whatever money is available should be poured into the starting rotation and the bullpen.
Free Agents to Target: Joe Crede, Marco Scutaro, Rafael Soriano, Ben Sheets, Randy Wolf, Billy Wagner, Melvin Mora, Adam Kennedy, Jason Marquis.
The Braves should look to unload salary by trying to dump Derek Lowe or Javier Vazquez.
I am going to say it, the Braves could be on the short list for the Wild Card next year. Chipper Jones, Yunel Escobar, Adam LaRoche and Brian McCann create a pretty competitive lineup. Lowe, Hudson, Vazquez and Hanson are not a bad front 4. With the Mets and Phillies looking vulnerable, why would the Braves start bailing? While I dont think the Braves should make a run at Holliday or Bay to try and "go for it", I do think they should look to invest their money. I am thinking Mike Cameron. I think they try to bring in Randy Wolf, or make a trade for Edwin Jackson. Speaking of trades, make an offer for Dan Uggla, I bet it would take less than you would think. The Braves can compete and though Lowe and Vazquez are huge contracts, can you really consider trading them? The Braves knew what they were getting into when they signed Lowe. Might as well make the best of it.
Free Agents to Target: Mike Cameron, Scott Podsednik, Marlon Byrd, Bobby Howry, Octavio Dotel.
The Mets need to sign Matt Holliday and/or Jason Bay and/or John Lackey.
As a Mets fan, it would be great if the team could be run like fantasy baseball team. It cannot. While a left fielder would be great, and the Mets could sorely use the power, this team needs to be more artfully constructed then just plugging in Holliday. Now, the Mets could have a Yankee moment and burn money by signing Lackey and Holliday/Bay and turn the baseball world on its head, but that wont happen. This team needs a more focused approach. The Mets have won before with the likes of Darryl Hamilton, Benny Agbayani and Todd Pratt. The Mets need quality top to bottom. They need a solid rotation. The bench was exposed last season. The Mets should not have players on their team that might appear on a 1998 baseball card. Signing one big free agent will not solve this problem. There is better ways to invest money than in Holliday.
Free Agents to Target: Austin Kearns, Rich Harden, Adam Kennedy, Jarrod Washburn, Fernando Rodney, Jason Kendall, Jon Garland, Miguel Olivo.
The Nationals should….
Eek. I dont know where to begin. The Nationals need to establish a winning culture. Right now, they are about inspiring as East Germany before the wall fell down. (Again, another culturally relevant point, Google it if you dont know why.) However, there is hope. Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman. Stephen Strasburg. A mildly intriguing starting rotation. The fact is, Washington, right now can neither afford nor attract top talent. So it needs to continue to build like it did when it signed Adam Dunn. In this market, given the fact that bigger teams are reluctant to give up draft picks and pay out top dollar, teams like the Nationals can sign players like Adam Dunn and thereby become competitive.
Free Agents to Target: Orlando Hudson, Justin Duchscherer, Hank Blalock, Ben Sheets, Brett Myers, Carl Pavano, Paul Byrd, Jose Contreras.
Marlins? Marlins? Bueller?
As with the Nationals, the Marlins are a total mystery as to what direction they will take. They are rumored to be looking to move pieces. I just dont know. I dont even know what to say. It wouldnt surprise me if the Marlins found a way to finish below the Nationals next year or if they won the World Series. What I do know is that they have cheerleaders. Yes, you read it correctly. Rivaled only by the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders for "Fewest Fans to Entertain", the Marlins have decided cheerleaders are a good way to get people to the ballpark. They have been around for a few years and it always surprises me when I see them. Is this the UFL? What happened to this baseball game? How much are they getting paid? How much could a ticket possibly cost to sit directly behind them? Anyway, the Marlins will probably have one signing that makes you go, oh yea, remember when he was good for that one season? The Marlins should give out an award to that guy. Call it, the Ken Bottenfield Award and it should be written into the contract.
Free Agents to Target: Mike Hampton, Vicente Padilla, LaTroy Hawkins, Shawon Dunston, Russell Branyan, Bruce Chen, Eddie Guardado, Rocco Baldelli. (Although to type this list makes me feel like I am wasting my time).
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see who the teams in the NL East decide to sign and/or trade for, but there are always some surprises.

ASU's Magee on Territorial Cup: 'It's going to be a good one'
Out with a ruptured Achilles tendon, the captain was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch while his team lost a fourth quarter lead and, eventually, the game.
Needless to say, the Devils' leading tackler said he's looking forward to Friday's matchup.
"When you play against top [offensive] talent you get a chance to go out there and also show your stuff, and as a defense we're very excited to face them," Magee told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday. "What a better opponent than facing UofA.
"We're up for the challenge and it's going to be a very exciting game."
The Wildcats enter the game with a 7-4 (4-4) record, while the Sun Devils are 6-5 (4-4). Arizona has one of the best offenses in the country, while Arizona State's defense can make a similar claim about themselves.
It's up to Magee and his side of the ball to slow the Wildcats' attack, and that starts with running back Ka'Deem Carey.
"I'll say the best running back I've seen in the Pac-12 in a few years, honestly," Magee said of Carey. Arizona's sophomore leads the nation with 1,585 yards rushing to go along with 19 touchdowns, and has caught 32 passes for 289 yards and one score.
Listen: Brandon Magee, ASU Linebacker Does Magee get jacked up playing top tier talent? What does Magee see on the U of A film? How does Magee feel his season has gone to this point?
"The main thing he does, leg tackles man, you've got to really hold on," he said. "He'll break leg tackles. And you've got to be real disciplined because he likes cutting gaps and he has very good vision, so if you're out of your hole he'll find it."
Of course, the Wildcats are not 22nd in the nation in scoring offense solely because of Carey and the running game. Magee, who is third on the team with 6.5 sacks, cautioned that the moment you focus too much on the run, quarterback Matt Scott will burn you.
"They also like to use Matt Scott's arm because he has a rocket for his arm," Magee said. "He likes to hit those quick-stop routes, quick slants, and he also throws a a good vertical ball, too.
"They have a pretty balanced offense, we've just got to stay disciplined, not get too hyped up and forget your responsibilities this game."
That will be easier said than done, given the intense rivalry between the schools. And when all is said and done, Magee believes this year's Territorial Cup will be similar to the last few.
"It's going to be a good one, it could come down to one play, trust me."

Southall Gas Works
Southall, Middlesex
The gas works at Southall dominated the West London suburb for much of the 20th Century; the site included residences for workers and its own pub. The works wound down in the 1970s, and most of the site has now been demolished, with only a few gas cylinders remaining. A brownfield site for many years, the area is now ear-marked for redevelopment.
How to get here:
Rail: Turn right out of the station, and then cross over South Road. Turn left onto Beaconsfield Road and then left again onto The Crescent. This leads into the Straight - continue past the gates and along the road until you reach the end, past the gas cylinder. +

This is Capt. Phil O'Bannon's very first column written for the Beacon, pertaining to local research and lecture series' by Mote Marine Laboratory. Capt. Phil is the executive director of the Boca Grande Mote office. Expect to see his work in the paper from time to time.
BY CAPT. PHIL 0'BANNON - As the executive director of the Mote Marine Laboratory office in Boca Grande, my goals are to support Mote's efforts to protect, preserve and enhance our marine environment. We still have one of the healthiest estuary systems in the country, but after growing up around and guiding in the Charlotte Harbor estuary system all my life, I have seen many changes.
We are all drawn to this area for special reasons, whether it is fishing, boating, bird-watching or spending time on the beach. It is very important that we all do that is necessary to maintain an awareness of these natural resources and protect them. The way to do this is through proper estuary and fishery management. That's where Mote's presence can make a real impact. The management agencies need hard data to help them make informed decisions about our wildlife resources that will affect us for years to come. As a world-class research organization, Mote already has a strong reputation providing unbiased information.
Mote is hoping to implement a series of initiatives focused on the health of local species and habitats. To move forward, they will need the strong support of our community.
When Mote opened its doors in Boca Grande we targeted five proposed initiatives that we felt needed attention in Charlotte Harbor.
• Red Tide Initiative: The first of our initiatives on red tide is already under way. We have established beach conditions reports for Boca Grande thanks to a generous donation from a local island resident. Special thanks to GIBA and the Barrier Island Parks Society who are doing these reports daily.
The Beach Conditions Report can be accessed online at mote.org/beaches. We also show it on the monitor at the office. The reports show water color, wind direction, surf conditions, dead fish (if any) and respiratory irritation levels.
• Tarpon Conservation Initiative: Boca Grande is the birthplace of the tarpon fishery. The first tarpon caught on hook and line was reported in 1885. But little is known about the life history of this great sport fish — or even how big the population is. It is imperative that we learn more about tarpon so we can properly manage this fishery and Boca Grande remains the Tarpon Capitol of the World.
• Shark Initiative: We are famous for tarpon, and with the tarpon come their predators – sharks. There are many schools of thought on how sharks interact with tarpon, but there is little data on this behavior. Studies must be done to show this interaction between them and how it affects the tarpon population.
• Snook Conservation Initiative: Snook are one of the most prized species in our area. Overall very little is known about snook other than that they are great game fish and are great table fare.
The 2010 cold spell was a huge setback to our overall snook population. Now, more than ever, studies must be done to protect and properly manage this valuable fishery.
• Snook and Tarpon Stock Enhancement and Habitat Protection Initiative: Snook and tarpon are a huge part of our local economy. Florida saltwater fishing brings in $5.1 billion annually. The Charlotte Harbor estuary system still has some of the most pristine habitats for juvenile snook and tarpon. The juvenile tarpon we have in the aquarium at the office came from an estuary not far from Gasparilla Island. When we gathered those fish, we also fin-clipped more than 150 others for DNA analysis and noticed dozens of juvenile snook in the same sampling.
These are areas we need to protect. The juvenile snook we have on display now are from Mote Aquaculture Park, a facility in Sarasota County where Mote is growing saltwater species for stock enhancement studies.
Boca resident Andy Ireland worked hard to help bring Mote to Boca Grande. In addition to myself, come meet Mote staff members Glenda Wright and Amy Sankes. They will be helping to educate the community about Mote's initiatives and develop partnerships that will allow Mote's proposed research to move forward.
I'd also like to thank the numerous volunteers who have stepped forward to work in the office and Cathy Klettke is helping me to coordinate this great group. Thanks to their help, the office is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day but Sunday. Please stop in to get a close up look at our snook and tarpon and think about volunteering. I'm sure we'll need additional help during the summer.
You can find us at 480 E. Railroad Ave., #7. Our phone number is 855-9251.

Yes or No.Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.no he ripped that other guy off for that, the other guy owes me, cant remember his name he doesnt come here anymore. last thing he said was my money was mailed
Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.
That would be Keyn. I sent him a PM last spring asking for an explanation. He never opened the PM and has not been back since. "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading."

Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.I usually stay away from these threads about horsemen' s races because they make me mad, but here we go:
There are horsemen' s races but they aren't anything like what you all think they are. Horsemen' s races are the ones in the book or written as extras that don't make sense. They are written and usually make it on the card because a trainer asked the racing Secretary to write a race for a specific horse. For example, Baffy has a filly he wants to run but she doesn't belong in any logically written allowance but he doesn't want to run her for a tag. He calls up the racing Secretary & tells him what he's got. Not just any trainer can do this and it doesn't happen very often because these races can be very hard to fill. This is because they are written for a specific horse. They are usually allowance or optional claiming races with weird conditions going long. They are not as prevalent as you guys think and they are not placed in any particular order in the card. Sorry, no conspiracy.
Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.
Oh CK... Don't you know by now that he'll find a way?????? HE ALWAYS DOES! And Trackmomma, I commend you for adding reason to this thread but sadly it won't work on those who live by the "horsemen race" creed. Avatar = SACRED LIGHT
Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.
Just because you heard them talking about it, doesn't mean they actually bet. I don't know how many times I have touted a horse to anyone who would listen and never bet a dime on them. Every time my horses would win someone would come up to me and ask how much I made at the windows. l have placed exactly 4 bets in all the years I worked on the track. That doesn't mean I wasn't confident of their chances, I just had more important things to spend my money on. I'm sure anyone eavesdropping on me race day would think I was betting my paycheck, but I wasn't.
Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.
Hell No ! Paid a year ago my dear man. Ask Molly1, I have the canceled check to proof it.
Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.DX,
I like a sports book that is nice and one can concentrate on what he is doing, not all sports books are like that as you know, There is nothing wrong with the one I am going to, they treat you very well and give you a warm welcome to have you on board. Now what more do you want ?
Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.
Gee, I (carelessly) said I would drop by and say Hi if you were in town. It's not a date or anything. Are you here this saturday or superbowl saturday?
Re: Horsemen races. Yes or No.Kermit be careful. You may get roofied. You could wake up at Circus Circus wearing a wig and lipstick nekked for the waist down singing the theme song from Deliverance.

Did you mean?
This is probably a dumb question... sorry. Hubby is to go to Malawi in January, He's never been to Africa. He's going for missionary work, very small scale. Can he take garlic bulbs in his suitcase? He will be visiting villages and would like to teach the people how to plant garlic to be used for basic infections and sicknesses. Or is seed garlic/organic garlic available in Malawi for him to buy there?
thank you

Republican Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina blew off some steam Monday, criticizing lawmakers in Washington for letting partisan bickering get in the way of balancing the budget.
"I could not be more frustrated than I am right now. How many more times are the governors going to have to pick up the mess of Washington DC?" she said at a press conference in the nation's capital for the Republican Governors Association.
She continued: "How many more times are we going to have to deal with these issues over and over again because of the finger pointing and the blame game that keeps on happening in Washington? What I will tell you is -- we heard today a whole lot of 'no.' And that seems to be the new word in DC is 'no' from everybody."
Her comments came days before $85 billion in automatic, across-the-board spending cuts over the next seven months are scheduled to begin if Congress doesn't come up with a deficit-reduction plan. Lawmakers have known the cuts were coming since the summer of 2011 but have yet to pass a bill to avoid them.
While Congress is back in session Monday--after taking a weeklong recess--there's little indication that lawmakers will strike a deal by Friday's deadline.
Haley didn't appear to single out one party over the other. Rather the first-term governor faulted the president and members of Congress for not wanting to put in the effort.
"Something's wrong. My kids could go and find $83 billion out of a $4 trillion budget. This is not rocket science. What this is is an inability to want to get to work," she said.
And in a not-so-veiled swipe against the recent recess and Obama's Presidents Day golf weekend in Florida, Haley added: "No one should be going home. No one should be playing golf. No one should be taking vacations."
"What they need to do is do what these governors do everyday," she continued. "We stay until we get it done."
She further added that the federal government has grown too big and had too large of a role in peoples' lives.
"Has there ever been more of a time where government was more intrusive than it is today? And to the point that it is really psychotic," she said. "There is something very wrong in this town."
Haley and other state executives are in town for the National Governors Association annual winter meeting. The select group heard from President Barack Obama Monday morning at the White House, where he urged governors to put pressure on Congress to avert the upcoming fiscal slashing.
Like Haley, Gov. Bobby Jindal argued that Washington lacked leadership and more specifically targeted the president. While the Louisiana Republican and potential 2016 presidential contender argued for more cuts, he took issue with the across-the-board approach, saying there was a smarter, better way to make reductions.
He said the administration was exaggerating the impact of the cuts and called on Obama to stop "scaring" the public into thinking a doomsday scenario was near.
"I think it's time for the president to show leadership," Jindal said. "The reality is he's been engaged in almost non-stop campaigning trying to scare the American people, trying to scare now states and others."
The White House released Sunday night a detailed analysis of the potential impact of the cuts, and the president issued dire warnings himself Monday when he spoke before the NGA.
"These impacts will not all be felt on Day One but rest assured, the uncertainty is already having an effect," the president said. "Companies are preparing lay off notices. Families are preparing to cut back on expenses and the longer these cuts are in place, the bigger the impact will become."
The president has largely placed blame on Republicans for refusing to allow new revenue on the table as part of a deficit-reduction deal. Republicans, in turn, say tax increases would only cripple the economy, not boost it. Real change, they argue, will only come through spending cuts on inefficiencies in Washington.
Democratic governors also voiced their opinions Monday, urging Congress to gather in a bipartisan fashion to prevent the forced spending cuts that are expected to kill $750,000 and hurt economic growth.
"Really what we're saying is let's just get the job done," Gov. Dan Malloy of Connecticut said. "That's what we're paying you for. That's what you're here for. Work with the president. Find a way to get it done. Or, if you want, just turn us over, turn it over to us governors and we'll negotiate it."
Danny Kanner, a spokesman from the Democratic Governors Association said the comments at the RGA press conference are just "all talk."
"(Republican governors) refuse to urge Congressional Republicans to embrace a balanced approach or end special tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans in order to stop job-killing automatic spending cuts, demonstrating that they have no interest in a bipartisan agreement," Kanner said in a statement. "Clearly, they're part of the problem, not the solution."

"Ice up"
As soon as outside temps dip to freezing, my heat pump turns to one big ice cube. My neighbors all have the same system and theirs thaw out. Installers answer is to turn off when temps drop below 40. While the efficiency drops considerably, that is not the issue. The system is suppose to have a defrost cycle, that apparently doesn't work. I don't have a manual to support my position before stating this problem again with my installer. Can't find the manual online either. I googled Weather King and only got comparisons, blogs, and installers.

13Pja36a01 heat pump less than 1 year old worked fine during summer but since winter is here nothing but problems. First had a freon loss. Tech. found a line leaking repaired, ran for 3 days. No heat again. Tech came back recharged system. Then 5 days later, no heat again. Tech returned found problem with expansion valve. After 2 weeks, he returned with part to repair. Two weeks later, unit is not heating. Tech found unit had no freon again. Cannot find leak, tech says he is done. Will not work on unit anymore under warranty says Rheem only covers labor for 90 days. As of now, the unit is working poorly but working until freon leaks out again. Don't buy these pieces of junk!!!!

"Why Me Too?"
I am just adding to the list. I, too have a Weatherking unit and have replaced compressors (3), boards (1) and spent at least $1000 in unnecessary heating bills. Although I still have this unit and will install a new Honeywell TH8000 thermostat soon, what unit is considered the BEST and/or most reliable for a 1800SQ FT home?

"Weatherking is junk"
Brand new condo, brand new unit. Compressor failed after 1 year, and was replaced under builder's warranty. Second compressor failed a year later. Weatherking sent another compressor, which was leaking upon arrival; contractor refused to install it. They sent another defective compressor after that. They refused to pay for installation at all, and would only send another compressor (all defective). I took out the unit, and replaced it with a brand new unit from another manufacturer. It works beautifully. Don't ever purchase a Weatherking unit. It was described by 2 contractors as builder grade, economy junk that they would never use in their own house.

"WeatherKing Heat pump"
I allowed my dumba... general contractor to talk me out of a Lennox 5 ton (as specified by my architect) and put in a Weatherking 4 ton when I built my house in the fall of 1984. This was my first heat pump purchase and I had no idea what to expect. When I moved in in Feb 2005, I did not know what to expect, but cold air for 30 min, then warm air? I found that the heat pump did not work and the heat strips kicked in on demand. I called the installer and learned a new term, lra, Locked Rotor Amps, which means the compressor is seized. He swaped it out on warranty, and we are ok until 2 years later, lra again!!! I got to pay the service call and the freon charge. Just before year 5 was up, (last year for parts warranty) lra again!!!. The 3rd compressor was still working when I sold the house in 1997. Just don't do it, but I hear mostly compliants about all the other brands. This is your government in Washington screwing you. Mandating higher and higher seer ratings just as they killed the auto industry in this country with mandates for higher mileage!!!

"Weatherking Mod.#17ahj11502c01"
3 years, 3 compressors, 2 capacitors, freon leaks & expensive repair bills. Really don't know what to think about the people servicing this equipment. I know there is some good and bad in everything. Would just like to run across some of the good. Rheem should be ashamed for allowing this faulty equipment to be sold. They will not stand behind there equipment. Sounds like arrogance and greed at work. Help Rheem, I'm tired of being hot in the summer and cold in the winter!

"This is a bad investment"
I work on a property of 358 units, each one has his own heat pump. two years ago we replaced aproximetly 80 % of the units. consider this season is not hoy yet, most of the compressors start to blow out, overloding, or capacitors blow out. I have 10 years of experience on heat pump, and a never seen like this. I don't recomend to anyone.

Weatherking learned from their mistakes. Most of the units that are in this review are 10 Seer units. Those units had a bristol compressor in them and since the 13 Seers have come out with r410 units they now have Scroll compressors. These units that are manufactured after June 2008 also have a 10 year warranty. Double check with your Dealer to make sure what your warranty is.

"Weather king heat pump is a piece of junk."
We purchased a 10 pj Heat pump in 2004. We have had two compressors replaced, a capacitor, and now it won't cool or heat. This unit is very disappointing and very costly. We have spent $1700 on the unit and repairs over a four year period. I would not recommend this product to anyone. It is a money pit.
