CINCINNATI – When Chipper Jones first began his rehabilitation from July 9 arthroscopic knee surgery, he projected he'd need two weeks of recovery. Now it's looking more like Jones will require closer to three weeks often required for meniscus tear repairs.
Jones felt some soreness after working out earlier this week with Triple-A Gwinnett and has elected not to play in any rehabilitation games this weekend in Class A Rome.
He'll continue his clinical rehab over the weekend in Atlanta, then reassess Monday when he rejoins the Braves for a workout prior to their series-opener against the Pirates.
Originally, a best-case scenario would have had Jones playing in that game. He's eligible to come off the disabled list on Sunday. But that target has been pushed back at least a few days.
The Braves would still like for Jones to go on a rehab assignment, which wouldn't begin until Tuesday at the earliest.
"It's not like it's a pulled hammy, it's a surgically-repaired knee so," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, who said he always figured Jones would need closer to three weeks' recovery time. "I always thought closer to three than two. You're talking about a 39-year-old knee that's got a lot of innings in it."
Jones is not characterizing this as a setback, just some soreness he's had to work through. When asked how his knee felt Friday, Jones said "pretty good" via text message.
Triple-A Gwinnett is on the road next week, and Single-A Rome is only at home through Tuesday. The Double-A Mississippi Braves are home all week and would seem the best option if Jones needs more than one game for a rehab assignment.

It's almost bizarre that Chipper would expect to recover as quickly as he did in 1996. Hey, Chip, you're FIFTEEN years older now. Wait until you reach 60, and just about nothing ever heals.

Seems to me I called this last October, and again this February. Retire NOW, Larry.

You were wrong then and you are wrong now, Ron. The man is clutch. Him and McCann have equal numbers with runners on base. Sorry to put facts in your way of your idea that you have sir, but facts are facts.
July 22nd, 2011
8:52 pm
Yes the man is a slippng clutch that can't get traction and can't climb hills anymore. And there is NO plan B, by the Braves own admission. Facts are Facts. This happens to Larry every season. Take off the blinders, or head to the glue factory, Joe.
July 22nd, 2011
9:19 pm
Ron, Ok here are the real facts. Chipper won the batting title in 08. So let us look at the numbers after that year.
In 2009….Played in 143…only 19 games missed. Runners on base= 0.282…RISP= .333……RISP with 2 outs= .313. Fielding % of 0.930.
In 2010 (AT THE TIME OF HIS KNEE INJURY on a brilliant play I might add). Played in 95 out of 113 games. 18 games missed. Runners on base = 0.243…RISP= 0.293…RISP with 2 outs- 0.259 and Fielding % of 0.952 Nobody dispute that was probably his worst year of his career. But at the time of the injury nobody was hotter than him, and he was tearing it up to pull his numbers up to decent when he did get hurt.
This year (AT the time of his surgery) 77 out of 90 games (while playing for over a month with the injury before finally getting it fixed to help the team……….Runners on= 0.341….RISP=0.403….RISP with 2 outs= 0.381 Fielding % of 0.973.
Where is slipping at all in this? He is having his best year since 2008, when he won the batting title. No blinders there Ron….Just pure facts that can not be disputed sir.
July 23rd, 2011
12:09 am
Okay Ron who could we get to replace Chipper that has the numbers he has? What prospect would we have to give up to get a player of his caliber? For christs sake This allstar and future hall of famer is nearing the end of a great career, Show some respect!

Chipper is the very reason we don't have a left fielder or a center fielder. In case you all haven't noticed, the Braves are a mid level payroll team these days. We have a 14 million dollar cheerleader tying up about 20% of payroll. Throw in Lowe's money and I have no idea how the Braves have the third best record in baseball. Please retire Chip so we can go get a big bat and hold on to all this young talent with a our small payroll.

Finally a Chipper hater (now watch he'll say he doesn't hate Chipper) who admits he doesn't have a clue..

It's so sad when you Chipper haters see something like this. You feel it gives you ammo to begin firing bullets to "prove your point". You people remind me of the Arsenio Hall gang in "Harlem Nights", and you people are the guy with the pistol standing by the other two who have Tommy guns who shoots one shot after several hundred have been shot by his two friends. You just look stupid.

one question:
who except maybe Mac would you rather see at bat with 2 outs in the bottum of the ninth withe game on the line???????
July 23rd, 2011
11:08 am
I mean this with the utmost respect, Chipper should take 4 weeks to recuperate. The Bravos are doing just fine without him for now, and a really healthy Chipper is still the best and most clutch switch hitting 3rd baseman in the league. All cylinders clicking in from late August through to the WS.

July 23rd, 2011
12:23 pm
Its good that Chipper will be back next weekend, but Mac is doing just fine hitting in the 3rd spot and Freeman and Uggla are providing power at the cleanup spot. I wished Chipper would swallow his pride and accept hitting in the 5th spot. Mac or Freeman are better three hitters now and Chipper does not hit for power now to be in cleanup spot. Come on Chip tell Fredi you are willing to move down in the linup for the good of the team.
July 23rd, 2011
12:44 pm
Hey Ron where did you go? I guess maybe Joseph ruined your rip of Chipper with facts, huh? By the way, the Plan B if something happens to Chipper is the guy who is playing there right now. Some people happen to think he is a pretty good player. His name is Martin Prado. Ever hear of him?
July 23rd, 2011
12:47 pm
Yeah Chipper won a batting title by laying out the entire last week with a hangnail so his average couldn't drop. He is not a team player never has been never will be much like the Young Heyward who should be traded immediately while he still has value!
July 23rd, 2011
1:20 pm
Chipper has EARNED his right to stay as long as he wants. I would hate to see him go right now because I think he adds stability to the club. He is a great mentor to the many young guys and i believe he shares his wealth of knowledge with them. If he were to retire the Braves would slip back a little bit.
July 23rd, 2011
1:41 pm
yep— take your time chipper– give it 3 to 4 weeks maybe 5—— just be there for september—— and playoffs– no need to rush
July 23rd, 2011
1:45 pm
Chipper has EARNED his right to stay as long as he wants.
Bull Puckey! No one earns the right to stay around for $16 million a year. More importantly, no one, not Babe Ruth, no one, earns the right to hurt his team. Period.
Stop the hero worship already. Everyone respects what Chipper has done, but if we don't worship him that don't mean we hate him. Frankly, he'll always be a notch below the Cy Young guys for some of us.
July 23rd, 2011
1:47 pm
I agree, take 4 weeks. It would benefit the team more if you were completely rested. Rushing back from a surgery is not a good move. I know it's tempting to prove these haters wrong by bouncing back quick, but true fans know it would be best to wait until your 100%… rest up, we're going to need you!

July 23rd, 2011

I'm a huge Chipper fan…really. He's probably the best ATLANTA Brave ever. And he's always been a leader in the clutch, too. But today, $14M/year is buying the Braves a .260 singles hitter with very little range who stays hurt a lot. Think about the power-hitting left fielder they could afford with that $. Baseball is a business. Chipper's been a great player, and been well-paid for it. It would be better for the Braves if he retires and "frees" up the $.
July 23rd, 2011
3:11 pm
Chipper needs to take as much time as he needs. This is a playoff team without him. We need Larry healthy for the playoffs.
July 23rd, 2011
3:17 pm
Chipper has hit .340 with runners on and .400 with runners in scoring position. I understand he is overpaid at this point in his career but he is still the 2nd most important hitter in our lineup.
July 23rd, 2011
3:33 pm
@Say What?
Cy Young was a pitcher..
Chipper is not a pitcher…
July 23rd, 2011
3:38 pm
Chipper da man, case closed. Chipper is part of the bases of the Braves success with his on field play, having to pitch around him and his stats speak for themselves. Yes he gets hurt but he is a HOF and he renegotiated part of his contract to keep some of the pitchers during the 14 year run.
July 23rd, 2011
3:49 pm
Chipper Jones is always out of shape. Partly because he is always limping somewhere, partly because he does just enough to get by. As an athlete, I was always taught that injuries come from being out of shape most of the time. Being hit in the head with a line drive is not one of those times of course, but not putting forth effort in training or on the field is part of the big picture.
Chipper Jones is lazy, loafs down the base line to first, picks it up a little to third and home (as in doing what he should). He makes errors galore! Now, why say all this – 14-16 MILLION DOLLARS, THAT'S WHY!!!
He is costing the Braves in huge ways. His ego is TOO BIG for his body! When he talks out of the crooked mouth he forms, he makes me sick. He is so egotistical it is shameful.
All you Chipper worshipers form your own team and make him the leader he should be.
July 23rd, 2011
3:51 pm
Thanks for the update Carroll. At this point the comments
to a story about Chipper`s value to the Braves seem to me to be about evenly split maybe slightly more negative.
Curious as to your opinion about how important it is to get him back asap.

|Wow, so I was just reading in this book
about overexcitabilities and this describes my child completely, in all of them. I am thinking about getting this book, but does anyone know if it also goes on to give you tools for managing?
Yes, I guess it's not really explosive behavior, it's really more like just really intense, sensitive, acutely aware of so much, etc. Not explosive in terms of being aggressive though.
|But reading that first chapter in the Misdiagnosis/Dual Diagnosis book, by Webb, was amazing, like every sentence fits. So would you say that book is better for understanding? Does it then have information that would help you then know what to do?
|Would Living with Intensity be the better choice for older children and for something that would give you the tools one might need?
Mom to a teenager and a middle schooler.
I think the Webb book is a must-have in a parent's library if they're dealing with a gifted kid who's a little (or a lot) different.
|ETA: SENG gifted site has a lot of great articles.

The Providence Bruins (25-24-3-0, 53 PTS, 7th Atlantic) host the Hartford Wolf Pack (25-20-3-4, 57 PTS, 5th Atlantic) this evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for the teams' eighth of 10 regular season meetings in 2009-10. On the year, the P-Bruins are 2-3-2-0 against the Sharks, including 1-2-1-0 in Rhode Island.
Providence enters one of its biggest games of the season to date riding a two-game winning streak following last weekend's offensive surge against the Worcester Sharks. In a home-and-home series, the P-Bruins out-scored the Sharks 11-5, receiving significant individual contributions from Mikko Lehtonen (3g, 2a) and Trent Whitfield (2g, a). Goalies Dany Sabourin and Kevin Regan each earned a victory and neither has allowed more than three goals in a game since January 24. Hartford, meanwhile, is 2-0-1 over its last three games, all on the road, following a five-game losing skid. Tonight's game could have substantial playoff implications despite each team showing 28 games remaining in the regular season. If the season ended today, the Wolf Pack would qualify for the fifth and final playoff spot in the Atlantic, using it to cross-over to the East Division. Providence is four points back of Hartford in the standings and can pull to within two points with a regulation win.
The P-Bruins continue to be led offensively by Lehtonen's 42 points, including team-highs of 17 goals and 25 assists. The PlanetUSA All-Star has nine points (5g, 4a) over his last five games. In net, Sabourin is 20-17-0 with three shutouts, a 2.42 goals-against-average and a .919 save percentage. On the other side, the Wolf Pack are paced by Canadian All-Star Corey Locke's 59 points, including 20 goals and 39 helpers. His points total is good for third in the AHL. Between the pipes, rookie Chad Johnson, recently back from the New York Rangers, is 14-8-2 with three blankings, a 2.03 GAA and .930 save percentage for Hartford.
In the season-series, Hartford's Dale Weise leads all scorers with nine points, while Lehtonen bests Providence with seven, including six goals. In the crease, Sabourin is 1-2-0 with a 3.28 GAA versus the Wolf Pack. Johnson is 4-2-0 with a 2.26 GAA against the P-Bruins.
On special teams, Providence is 18th (17.1%) in the league on the power play and 17th (81.7%) on the penalty kill, while Hartford is 15th (17.7%) with the man-advantage and 21st (81.0%) when short-handed.
On Saturday, the P-Bruins travel to face the Springfield Falcons at 7 p.m. On Sunday, Valentine's Day, Providence hosts the Syracuse Crunch for Kids Hat Night at 4:05 p.m. Hats are free to the first 1,000 kids age 12 and under. To purchase 2009-10 season tickets, Flex Tix or individual game tickets, please call the Providence Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at www.providencebruins.com.

How do you determine if bankruptcy is right for you? Are there alternatives to bankruptcy that will better serve you and your family? Each individual financial situation is unique and should be addressed that way. When Love & Dillenbeck, PLLC takes on your case, we do so with the commitment to find the best strategy to bring your financial problems to an end. If this includes filing for bankruptcy, we will devote the time and attention necessary to ensure that your case goes smoothly and efficiently. We also litigate debts that could follow you after bankruptcy to get them resolved so that you have the best possible opportunities once the process is complete.
In some cases, however, bankruptcy may not be the best option. Through our years of legal experience, we have dealt with all types of clients who are facing all kinds of financial problems. Our legal team has developed the ability to analyze your situation and counsel you on the best approach to freedom from debt. Our attorneys take pride in providing individual legal counsel that is geared to identify the best possible solution on an individual basis in all types of debt related issues. These could include a variety of strategies, including filing for either
chapter 7 or
chapter 13 bankruptcy, or fighting back against harassing creditors that have violated the
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Too many of those who are under significant debt burdens are unable to seek relief because they are under the constant stress of creditor calls, legal threats, repossessions or wage garnishment. We are committed to helping our clients get their financial situation under control and helping them get back on track and moving forward without these burdens.
If you are considering filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as liquidation bankruptcy, you must be aware that there are several situations that may disqualify you from receiving the debt relief you need. For example, you cannot file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy if you obtained a discharge of your debts through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the last six years. Chapter 7 may not be the right choice for individuals who had a previous bankruptcy case that was dismissed for violating a court order or other reasons.
Individuals who have defrauded their creditors through questionable activities like unloading assets to friends or relatives to hide them from creditors should also consider another form of debt relief besides bankruptcy. If the court finds out that you incurred debts for non-necessities when it was evident that you were broke or lying about your income or debts, your case may be thrown out.
You must also keep in mind that you will have to give up certain property when you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In North Carolina, debtors are usually allowed to keep a motor vehicle (up to a certain value), reasonably needed clothing, reasonably needed household goods, furnishings and appliances, pensions and retirement plans, life insurance (up to a certain value), and other items. To learn more about the exemptions that apply to your case, call our firm today.
For those who are considering filing for bankruptcy in Charlotte or the surrounding communities, it can be difficult to know how to choose the right attorney. This is understandable. A large number of our clients come from personal referrals from our clients who have had great results from our tireless work. We treat you individually, with respect, and know that the economic situation in the country has led to many hardworking people suffering from terrible financial stress. Our goal with regard to our community is to help as many people as we can.

One Auctioneer's Superstitions
Bill Caller, Crye-Leike Commercial's first principal auctioneer, is holding his first auction on St. Patrick's Day, March 17 at 10 a.m.
But it's not the luck of the Irish Caller is banking on. In his experience in the industry, Thursdays are the best days for the buyer's turnout.
"Mondays everybody's just coming back and they're swamped, Friday's everybody's got their mind on the weekend, going out of town, doing personal things," Caller said. "Thursdays just always seem to be a day where people are willing to get out and to come to an auction. Thursdays have always worked for me in the past, I'm just really going with my gut."
Meanwhile, multi-family auction sales are often set for Saturdays. Because usually set auction days 45-60 days prior to the official date, you can't predict the weather.
"Getting them to the auction is half the battle," Caller said. "You want to make it as convenient and accessibly as possible and you don't want to do anything to hinder attendance."
Jeff Morris of Morris Auction Group LLC recently held its highly-publicized Memphis Motorsports Park auction on a Tuesday.
"Tuesday's not a bad day – sometime during the week where people are focused and at work," Caller said.
To learn more about Caller's first auction sale, check out Tuesday's edition of The Daily News.

LA CROSSE, WI (WXOW)—The former May's Photo building in La Crosse is getting a new look.
Councilman James Cherf bought the building at 425 Main Street downtown; it was the scene of a double murder last September.
Cherf wants to restore the appearance to more of it's original look.
He plans to divide space into two stores and wants to lease it out to new businesses.
On top of the businesses, Cherf is building two luxury apartments that have already sparked some interest.
"That will give additional living space to our growing downtown neighborhood," Cherf said. "This is a terrific and dynamic community to live and work and even enjoy yourself in."
He said is anxious to get the paper off the windows and hopes to have renovations complete by September.

BYRAM, MS (WLBT) - There are more complaints of road problems in newly incorporated Byram.
This time residents said repairs on Gary Road are long overdue and costly for motorists forced to use the roadway daily.
"Over a year I've had three flat tires and two bent rims," said Byram resident Shannon Kendrick.
The 33-year-old said her Chevrolet Cavalier is taking a beating as she travels Gary Road four to five times a day, costing her up to $400 in repairs.
The cleaning business owner is fed up with the pothole filled road.
Kendrick is also concerned about stopped construction at the intersections of Terry and Davis Roads.
"This road is terrible. They started this construction over a year ago, and it's just terrible. They haven't finished it. They haven't been working on it much. Every once in a while they'll come out here and work a little on it. The road is terrible," said Kendrick.
There are two schools, several subdivisions and many businesses on this heavily traveled two lane roadway.
"When you try to turn in off of Davis onto Gary Road you have to almost go into the ditch because if there's a car parked there you can not get in on that road," said Kendrick.
Large vehicles and school buses could be seen having difficulty maneuvering the tight roadway and construction.
On Gary Road near Davis the street has crumbled, caving in and is causing more danger for motorists.
Byram Mayor Nick Tremonte said residents with questions about infrastructure improvements should attend board meetings that are held the second and fourth Thursdays, and he will be happy to provide answers.
"Work on Gary Road is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2010, and if there are delays it will be the first road on the schedule of 2011," said Tremonte.
Hinds County Public Works Director Carl Frelix said Gary Road has two projects slated, including the installation of traffic lights at the Terry and Davis Road intersections.
He said work has not been able to proceed because the ground is too wet.
"Hinds County will use federal funding to completely rebuild the road, replacing sub-grade and installing new asphalt," said Frelix.
He added that the completion date is dependent upon when federal dollars will be reallocated for the project.
That won't be soon enough for motorists like Kendrick.
"I just want something done about it," said the Lake Ridgelea subdivision resident.
According to Hinds County Public Works, the Gary Road reconstruction project will cost between $5 million to $6 million.

"Peachtree Battle" playwrights John Gibson and Anthony Morris had some offstage drama crash into their lives this week.
At the height of Monday morning's tree-snapping storm, a six-story Georgia pine fell through the couple's Atlanta home.
First, the good news. Morris, a law partner at McKenna Long & Aldridge, was in Philadelphia on a case. The bad news: Gibson was sleeping late in the residence's master bedroom after working on a "Peachtree Battle" film budget until 3 a.m.
"I just heard this enormous crack and the dogs came running," Gibson told Buzz Tuesday. "I just yelled, 'Everybody out!' "
The house's fate likely will be determined later this week. But Gibson isn't overly optimistic. He said the weight of the tree has now cracked a support beam in the living room. Reps from Allstate were finally able to make their way to the damage at midday Tuesday.
Throughout the crisis, the couple kept friends and family informed via their Facebook status updates. Not surprisingly, the writers behind the city's longest running stage comedy worked some humor into the pathos.
Quipped Morris on Facebook: "The bulk of the tree is hovering precariously over our living room and newly remodeled $200k kitchen. The tree keeps dipping more as the roots give way. If you hear a loud crash followed by what sounds like a 9-year-old girl screaming, it fell."
Gibson posted this update Tuesday: "Day 2 of tree in house. Such a nice rain last night wasn't it? Who needs plumbing when it can come through the roof?! Oh, Look a raccoon in my $2,800 farmhouse sink."
Naturally, the ever-timely Gibson already has written the calamity into this weekend's performances of the the couple's latest comedy, "A Sunday Afternoon at Loehmann's," at the Ansley Park Playhouse in Midtown.
Cracked Gibson: "Let's just say a certain insurance company's response time might be a target!"
Oh, and Allstate claim reps might want to take note of this line from Morris' professional profile posted on the McKenna website: "The representation of insurance carriers is a central focus of Anthony's practice, including handling of all types of coverage disputes."
Georgia Aquarium gets 'Ghost'ly
Atlantans will want to tune into the Sci Fi Channel's brand new "Titanic Terror" episode of "Ghost Hunters" tonight at 9 p.m. That's when paranormal experts Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson creep around with flashlights after hours at the Georgia Aquarium's popular Titanic exhibit, in search of spirits.
According to the preview Buzz caught Tuesday, they found, well, something at least. Exclaim the hunters in the clip: "A hand on my shoulder keeps pushing me!" and "Something just tugged on my sweat jacket!"
Things get more ominous when Hawes asks something: "Were you one of the passengers on the Titanic?!"
Adding to the creepiness: today is the 97th anniversary of the ship's sinking.
Florida Marlins ballplayers Dan Uggla and Scott Proctor dining at Stats sports bar downtown after their flight into Atlanta Monday. We're told the infielder and the pitcher enjoyed sampler platters, wings, roasted chicken and the barbecue combo plate.
The Marlins opened a three-night stint against the Braves at Turner Field on Tuesday night. Proctor presumably will be taking it easy while here. He's due back in the Marlins' active lineup May 1 after surgery last fall to remove some scar tissue from his right elbow.

« Ten quotes drivers might use to describe Martinsville | Main | Danica needs to show some sign of improvement before the clock stikes midnight »
Harvick doesn't like RCR teammates so he's opting for Stewart, Danica and Busch instead
By admin | October 27, 2013
By Richard Allen
In case you haven't heard, Kevin Harvick and Ty Dillon didn't play well together during the Camping World Truck Series race at the Martinsville Speedway on Saturday. Trouble is, the two drivers both race under the umbrella of Richard Childress Racing in one capacity or another…at least for a few more weeks.
On lap 189 of the 200 lap event, it seems as if both drivers considered the same piece of real estate on the paper clip shaped half-mile track to be their own. The resulting tangle set off a chain of events that will no doubt make the remaining few weeks of the 2013 season a bit uncomfortable on the RCR campus.
That level of pending discomfort at RCR was only heightened by the late race and post-race antics and comments of the two drivers as they bumped off of each other on their way back to the pit area and then found the television cameras and microphones. There was even a moment in which Harvick stopped in Dillon's pit stall, provoking crew members to come after the Sprint Cup regular and even hurl a sledge hammer in his direction.
"He just dumped me," Harvick said of the spin with Dillon. "Exactly the reason why I'm leaving RCR because you've got those kids coming up, and they've got no respect for what they do in this sport and they've had everything fed to them with a spoon.
"So I cut him slack all day, and he just dive-bombs me in there, dumps me. It's a shame you've got to get taken out by some rich kid like that."
For his part, Dillon had a lot to say as well.
"He was hogging the bottom, and I just kept diving to the inside," the grandson of team owner Richard Childress said. "I was low, and he kept chopping down, chopping down. It was getting toward the end of the race and I gave him a tap and he got sideways, but then he hit the brakes to try to brake-check me in the middle of the corner."
Dillon went on to add, "So he can't even face me afterward. I'm pretty disappointed in the things that went down. I used to look up to that guy. I guess he doesn't understand the circumstances of what's going on. To tear a truck up and act like a punk on pit road. And stopping by my pit stall when my guys are coming out, that was pretty ridiculous. I'm not happy with him. And for him to not even stick around, that's pretty sad, too."
There is all kinds of irony in play here. First, for Harvick to call anyone else a punk is the very definition of the word irony. This is a guy who has behaved as badly as any driver in NASCAR history. Just ask Ricky Rudd or Joey Logano or Greg Biffle or Kyle Busch or the NASCAR officials who once benched him from a Sprint Cup race at Martinsville for actions in a trucks race the day before if you want confirmation of that.
The second bit of irony is that Harvick says he's leaving RCR because he doesn't like the drivers he would be working with in the future. So, he's heading for Stewart-Haas Racing to team with Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Danica Patrick. The Empire State Building might not be big enough to hold all of those egos at the same time.
Yes, the Dillon brothers(Ty and Austin) have had an easier road to the top of the sport than many others. No question about that. Whether that makes them punks is a matter of opinion, I guess. But in my personal dealings with them at the dirt tracks where I've encountered them, I have always found both of them to be very accommodating.
Harvick is a passionate driver who doesn't want to be taken advantage of. That's what drivers are supposed to be. But he is also a very abrasive personality and to think there suddenly won't be issues with teammates because he is leaving RCR for a team filled with abrasive personalities is laughable.
*For the record, Harvick offered an apology on the pre-race show on Sunday.

I think Angry Harvick is the Biggest Punk in NASCAR History. That's old news. But, he behaves like Parnelli Jones in the Public Eye and the misadventures of Kevin Harvick will cost him another title. And if I was going for a Championship Race between Mark Martin, Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer, I'd want Mark Martin to win, even by a Horse's Nose.

It was Dillon that called Harvick a "punk", not the other way around.
I think what Harvick meant in his statement as to why he is leaving RCR, is because of the nepotism that obviously is taking place at RCR. Anyone that drives there now will certainly play second fiddle to the Dillon boys. Harvick just saw the writing on the wall and bailed out.
By the way, RCR will be a Dale Earnhardt museum in 5 years because of the Dillons. "Pop-pop" isn't going to be able to out spend everyone on the Cup level like he does in the Nationwide Series and Austin is going to be in for a rude awakening next season.
Also, the above poster is correct about Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick. It's going to be glorious to watch!!!
Pep Fontana Says:
October 28th, 2013 at 7:09 am
Upon seeing the interview on tape, it does appear that Harvick does in fact throw the first "punk" reference. My apologies to the author.
Robert Says:

Kevin Harvick sure does like to burn his bridges doesn't he?
Both Dillon boys will do well in cup. Will they be champions? Who knows?
But they will win their share of races.
There is a reason Harvick has never won a championship. The reason rests between his ears.
The Old Guy Says:
October 28th, 2013 at 8:27 am
I thought it a bit ironic when Harvick said that the dillons had everything handed to them. If I'm not mistaken, Harvick was "handed" one of the best rides in NASCAR.
The only thing I've ever really wished would be that the feud Jimmy Spencer had with Kurt Busch had been with Harvick. Spencer would have shut Harvick up just like he did Busch.
Regarding the future of both of them at SHR, I'm pulling for Kurt Busch.
Jesse Says:
October 28th, 2013 at 8:30 am
Let me ask, when Harvick's son starts running go-karts and late models, who do you think will put up the money, you know his son will race and his name will not be that big, so daddy will foot the bill. I do think the Dillon boys are good but not good enough to run in a top series.
Sue Rarick Says:
October 28th, 2013 at 8:34 am
Pop-pop won't be able to outspend his competitors in cup, so we'll see how good Austin really is next year.
But the real problem with RCR is they first got rid of Scott Miller (look how well MWR did once he got there). They have Bud going with Harvick and when they show favoritism to Austin next year how long will Menard stick around. There are other teams that would love to have that extra 20 million a year. Look for Menard to announce a team switch by June next year.
Greg Says:
October 28th, 2013 at 1:34 pm
When Harvick shutdown his own race shop and sort of rolled things in with RCR it looked like a joint venture but it did not work that way.
Kevin has outlasted his welcome at RCR for w hatever reason , and when it was reported that Richard was tell ing the #3 to hit Kevins #14 during the caution Kevins not totally to blame.
Sully Says:
October 28th, 2013 at 1:41 pm
Kevin has always been an unlikable ass. He parroted his new jerk of a boss Tony with the "rich kid" comment. The comment is void of any sense or reason. Tony alone with that stupid comment started a cottage industry of non critical thinkers. The parrots don't even think of how stupid that comment is, Kevin being one of them.
Kevin was handed his ride, and I seriously doubt his son will be putting in any shift work at the local Burger King or bussing tables at the local Outback. We will see when his son is racing in the future, I hope people call Kevin on it. "Keelan, spoiled rich kid".
What a nasty crew under one roof going into next year. Good grief…It will implode!

I was done with Harvick when he went after Ricky Rudd , harvick beat and banged on Ricky all night and when Rudd got spun be harvick he worked his way back through the field and beat and banged that punk till he spun out then in typical Harvick fasion caused a rukus on pitt road but hid behind his crew like ricky said he as a yap mouth like a little dog , Richard is class owner and he gave harvick the shot of a lifetime and this is how harvick wants to leave , oh and didnt RCR buy all of harvicks equipment for the nationwide series and camping world series . I hope Bush knocks his teeth out at daytona
Leto Says:
October 28th, 2013 at 8:45 pm
Honestly, I expected Harvick to leave RCR for SHR back during his last round of contract negotiations. When he re-signed with RCR, I made the comment that it was only because SHR wasn't ready to expand yet and that Harvick wanted to wait and see if the SHR stable was viable enough to compete for titles on a regular basis.
Couple that with the Dillon Brothers coming up through the ranks, I think Harvick knew that his time as the "#1″ driver at RCR was coming to an end. He is, however, the most marketable driver in the RCR stable, so I don't know how RCR will rebound with losing him and all of his sponsors (unless they bring Brendan Gaughan to Cup in 2015 or something). I think RCR knew that they would need to re-sign Menard and his built-in sponsorship once Harvick announced his departure, or else they would be screwed financially.
Sue- Menard just re-signed with RCR for multiple years. He's signed with the team through 2016. For him to get out of his contract with RCR would cost him and his dad quite a bit of money. Menard isn't in NASCAR to win titles (that's been evident for years, when he ran for Yates) but rather as a marketing machine/tax write-off for John Menard. He knows he's never going to be the #1 driver anywhere unless his dad buys a race team. Being second-fiddle to the Dillon Boys, yet knowing that he's probably the only fully-funded driver on the Cup side is probably just fine for him.
Menard had his chance to leave RCR. He didn't take it. Sure, in 3 years he might make a move, but for now, he's stuck at RCR.

Tangiers Opens in West End
When it was announced last March that the old strip mall across the city line was going to be razed to make way for a new Walgreens, there was some premature mourning for the loss of Tangiers. Wednesday night, the market featuring Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and other international foods held its grand opening at 550 Farmington Avenue, a space most recently used by Central Supermarket.
Tangiers quietly opened earlier this month. The Latif family has a few decades of experience doing what they do, so it was no surprise to see the constant flow of customers Wednesday night.
Tangiers is selling familiar goods, from falafel and baklava to tea and dried fruit. They are also selling fresh fruits and vegetables, along with breads. Besides the counter and tables indoors, there is an outdoor patio now.
They are open Monday through Saturday, 10am-8pm, and Sunday, 10am-6pm. Continue reading 'Tangiers Opens in West End'»

Fuu wakes up, will things get back to normal?
"Fuu! Fuu!"
"Mugen?" she turned her head in his direction. He had fallen asleep sitting by her bed.
"I-I dreamed that it was happening again Mugen. It was happening again and I couldn't stop it! Just like when..."
She trailed off into silence and he watched her bow her head. Tears started running down her checks, dripping off onto her blankets. No sound came from her as the tears ran. He was beginning to get a good idea of what had happened to her...
She squeezed her eyes shut as the memories came flooding back, the nightmares just wouldn't leave her alone. If anyone knew what had happened she would be shunned. They would call her a whore, and deep inside she suspected that was what fate had in store for her. How could she think differently, she asked herself, when that seemed like all she was good for. She had been attacked twice now, other than those attacks it didn't seem like anyone had any use for her. She was a worthless orphan...
Fuu felt his arms pull her in close. Pressing her face into his chest she let the tears fall. Years off anguish poured out onto the familiar red shirt, the red shirt that often flooded her memories...along with a blue kimono.
"Fuu...I'm here Fuu. You're safe now."
She felt his hands softly stroking her hair as he murmured in her ear.
"I'll never let that happen again. We're together now and it's going to be okay."
This was a side of Mugen that she hadn't seen before, a really nice side. She wouldn't have thought the rude samurai capable of being nice. It felt really good though, better than she was sure she wanted to admit to herself...
Hearing her scream, he threw down the rocks and blood stained clothes and grabbed his sword. He raced stealthily back to the campsite. Mugen was talking, he could hear him now. Stopping he listened to determine what was going on. Jin determined there was no danger and put his sword away. Inching closer he saw what was happening. It made him feel good and sad at the same time. Good in the sense that Mugen was finally caring for someone other than himself, and letting it show. Bad in the sense that Fuu was in his arms. Had he waited too long then? In more ways than he had even thought. Had he waited to long to tell her how he felt? Sighing, he realized that he was more like Mugen than he cared to admit. He wasn't a jackass like Mugen, true, but he kept his feelings locked away just as well. How could he have ridiculed the other man for his uncaring attitude when his own was the same? His own feelings were kept deep inside, never a hint of them shown. They were both lonely, he knew that, perhaps they were both scared as well. He felt a strange kinship with the odd samurai as he turned sadly away and walked back to the water.
He felt her warm breath against his neck.
"Mugen, thank you."
"No need to thank me Fuu, Jin was the one that saved you."
"I'll thank him too, but thank you for being here for me Mugen. I-It really means a lot to me."
He felt her head move and her lips press against his cheek.
"Thank you for caring."
Pulling her tighter into his arms, he let his chin rest on the top of her head. It felt so...right...to be like this with her. Ever since their journey together, he'd felt like something was missing, something he couldn't even name. He hadn't been able to get comfortable, wondering what was gone. Now he knew...
She pulled away and he saw her wince as she stood up, wrapping the blanket around herself.
"I need to walk and stretch a little bit. My body is really stiff from just laying there."
Mugen watched as she cringed and reached up to feel the knot on her cheek.
"I have some cream we can put on your cuts again if you'd like. It helps them heal."
"That seems like an odd thing for you to carry."
She gave him a small smile as she walked around the fire.
"I stole it after I got the hell beat out of me awhile back. Figured I didn't need any worse scars than I already had. Pretty soon the whores are going to be requesting blindfolds."
He was sounding like his old self again, Fuu decided. It was both sad and a comfort at the same time. Sad because the new him had been sweet and kind, and comforting because when things changed, it wasn't always for the better.
"So what have you been up to since I saw you last?" she asked deciding it was time to put this latest episode behind her.
"The usual. Fights, women and sake," he said while giving me his trademark evil grin.
"Any woman in particular?"
She really was curious if he'd had anybody special since they parted.
"Well...there was this one woman, she had the biggest-" his words were cut off when the rock collided with his head.
"Dammit Fuu! What the hell!"
"YOU KNOW THAT WASN'T WHAT I MEANT, IDIOT!" she screamed at him. How dare he, she fumed silently. Maybe the new him was some kind of hallucination she'd had!
"I washed out your clothes Fuu, but it'll be awhile before they're dry," she heard Jin say as he walked over to a tree to hang them up.
Jin froze as he felt the small arms wrap around his waist from behind.
"Thank you Jin. Thank you so very much for rescuing me."
He turned and pulled her into a hug.
"You're most welcome Fuu, I'm only sorry that I didn't get there sooner."
Her smaller frame felt so nice against his, warm, soft and comfortable.
She looked up at him then, a smile on her face and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek. He watched as she turned away and walked back to the fire.
"So let's catch up now. Where have you been Jin?"
It seemed she was trying not to think about what had happened to her. That was probably a good thing at this point he decided, now how to answer her question?
"Not much really. Nothing different from what we did together except for no goal in sight."
He heard a little sigh.
"Jin, when are you going to realize your worth? You are meant for more than being a wanderer. It's time you quite punishing yourself for the past. You deserve a lot more than you let yourself have."
"Bitch," he heard Mugen mutter.
When he saw her glaring at him and reaching for a rock it was like déjà vu, and it was wonderful.

We may never know what compelled Jared Loughner to open fire on former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, her staff and her constituents. But there is one thing that could have prevented the killings of six people and the injuries of fourteen others: Denying mentally unstable people access to firearms.

Bentley Azure, A Craftsmans' Masterpiece by kvarnstrom on 08/10/2009. Trim: 2001 Bentley Azure Convertible, Owned 2 years.
Pros: Exterior and interior design, engine torque, room for 4 adults in a convertible! Exquisite craftsmanship, exclusivity, reliability (yes even the electric parts do work). A piece of hand-crafted art rather than a car. Will last a lifetime or more if the owner/heirs pay attention to regular service performed either by the owner/enthusiast or an authorized service department. I also own a 49 year old Bentley S2 which works as if just out of the factory! Just service your car according to the book!
Cons: Price is high, but after seeing how so many experienced specialists craftsmen do so much work by hand, not with robots or machines, you wonder how they make a profit at the price they sell for. Gas mileage is dismal, not exactly a "green automobile" , but I drive it only on weekends.
Overall review: I bought a used 5-year old Bentley Azure after being on the look-out for several years. The car still looks as if it just rolled out of the new- car dealership and I have not had a single problem. This is a dream car for a convertible enthusiast who wants something that can carry 4 people with room to spare, and in style. Quality is astonishing and craftsmanship is exquisite. You get what you pay for, not only the first day you own it but after 5, 10, even 50 years of ownership. If you buy a car to keep for a long, long time, this may be one of your better decisions in life. If you want to get something different after 3 years, well, you need very deep pockets since a car like this drops in price like a stone for at least the first 3-5 years. But keep it for 20 years or longer, and your purchase may prove to be pretty smart, even from a financial standpoint. Remember last 2 years stock market??

A truly nice car. by brett from Houston TX on 03/09/2002. Trim: 2001 Bentley Azure Convertible, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: It defines what class you are in, most of the people claiming this car sucks, actually dont own a car, they are just peasants, and welfare seeking homosexuals who live off good tax payers money. They probably havent finished paying off the tax on the card board box they live in yet.
Cons: The price is well priced for its class, but i believe the performance should be tweaked even more, but quite impressive that it can reach over 155mph.
Overall review: Very Classy car, i dont have one yet, this is car is the reason why I am studying dentistry. Also to the people who like bagging out cars but really they are poor bastards using the internet from the library and are poor lazy bastards with lazy parents who eat social welfare from taxpayers should be shot and deported to mexico even if they were born here. They dont deserve to live in corporate america.
