MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- That box of chocolates or bouquet of roses you bought for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day will brighten her day, but they might be harmful to your family pet- and your pocketbook.
Experts say that pet owners should keep common Valentine's Day gifts such as flowers, candy, alcohol and stuffed animals out of your pet's reach- unless you want to spend your romantic evening at the vet's office with a miserable pup.
According to pet insurance company Trupanion, a significant increase in chocolate and plant poisoning cases occur every Valentine's Day, many totaling more than $2,000 in vet bills for emergency services.
Here is a list of the potential Valentine's Day dangers to cats and dogs and how you can avoid an expensive trip to the vet:
Stuffed Animals: That googly-eyed Valentine's teddy bear you received might look like a pet toy in your dog's eyes, but many stuffed animals may contain small parts, buttons and eyes that can be harmful if swallowed. Make sure your pet only plays with toys clearly marked as pet toys.
Ribbon: The accidental ingestion of ribbon used to wrap gifts can cause bunching in the intestines and may require emergency surgery. Remember to clean up any wrapping supplies once gifts are wrapped and again after they are opened.
Alcohol: Keep man's best friend away from the booze, because even a small amount of alcohol could severely poison your pet. Make sure all bottles, cans and glasses are kept out of pets' reach and put away quickly after consumption.
Flowers: That bouquet could mean trouble if ingested by your pet. Lilies are particularly toxic to cats and tulips can cause stomach irritation, vomiting, diarrhea.
Candles: While fire safety is a no-brainer, be cautious while enjoying a candlelit dinner if pets are in the house. Keep a close eye on open flames and never leave them unattended.
If you suspect that your pet could suffer from poisoning, call your vet immediately.

Shower Grooming Tools For Men
Save Time And Look Your Best With These Shower Grooming Tools
The shower is by far the most overlooked grooming space in your bathroom. It's the one chamber we rely on every morning to condition our bodies for long days, freeing us from dry skin and funky odors when stepping out on the town or to the 9 to 5.
Yet most men find comfort in filling their medicine cabinet, sink countertop and wall shelf with their essential power products -- electric toothbrushes, facial cleansers, razors, and shaving gels -- while settling on the basic set of bathing cleansers to stock their shower caddy. Suffice it to say, they have their grooming priorities all wrong.
Body washes and shampoos aren't enough to achieve the perfect bathing experience. The modern man requires the right tools to execute and maintain their dapper appearance throughout the day. We're talking essentials that spare you time in the lavatory and when drying off after a quick rinse.
These are the must-have grooming tools every man must own to complete his shower regimen.
Showerhead: Hydroluxe 24 Function Ultra-Luxury Showerhead
First and foremost, your shower means nothing without a great showerhead. This dual-water sprayer comes equipped with 24 water flow patterns to enliven body rinsing. Take advantage of five unique full settings for both the showerhead and hand shower, enjoying hydro massages or warm baths in peace. A 10-year limited warranty makes the purchase even more enticing.
$23.99 at Amazon.com
Lather Applicator: Dove Men+Care Shower Tool (4-Pack)
Building a good lather isn't just about having the best shower gels. You're going to need a rough sponge to soak in and puff the cleansing solution to properly rub onto the skin. Dove's signature shower tool remains a shower staple with two levels of scrubbing power and a mesh interior that distributes a solid amount of soapsuds. The product also rinses seamlessly and squeezes out excess water when hung to dry. A pack of four should get you through more than half the year.
$13.64 at Amazon.com
Waterproof Electric Shaver: Braun Waterflex Wet & Dry Electric Shaver
Shaving in the shower has its benefits. The steam causes pores to relax, plus softens skin for smoother strokes. Electric shavers will get the job done much faster than your Gillette cartridge razor and save you more cash in the long run. Our recommendation is the Braun WaterFlex for its anti-slip grip, durable blades, and water-poof frame to maintain a longer shelf life and stabilized trimming.
$23.99 at Amazon.com
Dispenser: Better Living Avivia Three Chamber Dispenser
Swapping between body wash, conditioner, and shampoo bottles becomes tedious, especially when time is of the essence. You can't go wrong with a multi-dispenser. This one in particular houses three chambers that pumps out 11 ounces of your favorite body cleansing solutions. Handy storage hooks come bundled to hoist additional shower accessories such as loofahs, razors, and more. Installation takes just minutes with two-way tape and waterproof silicone adhesives securing it on the wall.
$33.63 at Amazon.com
Facial Cleansing Brush: Clarisonic Alpha Fit
Guys like to believe a scrub is all they need to achieve a smooth, silky moneymaker. There are layers to facial grooming, gentlemen. A facial cleansing brush makes for an amazing shower companion. If blemished skin remains the bane of your existence, consider the Alpha Sonic acne kryptonite — providing enough wash action to accommodate closer shaves while ridding your mug of impurities with an invigorating brush head that delivers 300 movements per second. Oh yea, it's serviceable in wet conditions, too.
$170.15 at Amazon.com
Exfoliating Gloves: Menscience Buff Body Exfoliation Gloves
Some prefer back scrubbers; others enjoy the ruggedly soothing texture of an exfoliation glove. The latter proves to be the better of the two options. These dead-skin-peeling mitts feature "innovative micromesh" to combat body acne and remove buildup from your pores. The material is designed to quickly dry between uses so as to lessen bacteria growth over time.
$16.00 at Amazon.com
Body Shaver: Mangroomer
Trimming body hair is a bitch. Here is a body groomer designed to meet your manscaping desires. The Mangroomer simplifies the back-shaving process by allowing users to shed their fur in the shower with a wet-proof design and seven settings for detailed shaving across different hair lengths. Cut through coarse and thick hair strands with the Power Burst button, while the Shock Absorber Flex Neck is versatile enough to conform to every body part to help you personalize your appearance.
$49.99 at Amazon.com
Shower Mirror: InterDesign Forma Fog Free Shower Mirror
Shaving without a mirror is like Edward Scissorhands trying to pop a pimple on his face. The end result could be a bloody mess. A mirror is a must to see where your blade is most effective and what missed areas require an extra stroke or two. This polished reflector allows you to execute your grooming skills in the shower with a curved shelf that accommodates a shaving gel or cream and two hooks to hang your razors.
$19.16 at Amazon.com
Shaving Brush: Baxter of California Aluminum Travel Shave Brush
No shaving kit is complete without a shaving brush, as the facial sweeper helps lift whiskers and hydrate shaving cream to create a rich lather. Baxter's offering is designed with 100% natural badger hair bristles and an aluminum handle with matte black anodized finish to preserve long-term use. The sleek portable design allows the shave brush to blend into any shower caddy and can easily find its way into any dopp kit when in travel mode.
$55.00 at Amazon.com
Callus Remover: Micro-Pedi Man
Whether it's from the daily grind or long hours at the gym, your feet take a beating and develop calluses — not exactly what you want women to see when strutting around the pool area in a pair of Havaiana sandals. Remove those gross pieces of thickened skin with the Micro-Pedi Man, which gently sloughs off dead and dry skin through a unique roller system. It's proven to soften skin more effectively than a pumice stone or metal scrapers.

Day Tripping
Explore the nearby spots on your bucket list and still make it home to relax on the deck
Photograph: Courtesy of Florence Griswold Museum and Sharpe Hill Winery
August vacation booked? Check! Kids shipped off to summer camp? Check! With back-to-school shopping still far off in the horizon, you could just sit back and enjoy the season. But now's the time to explore those nearby spots on your bucket list that you never seem to get to. So mark your calendar and hit the road to these dream escapes. They are all within state lines so you'll have plenty of time to soak in the culture and still make it home to relax on the deck.
In Good Spirits
Ready to discover the Connecticut's Wine Trail? Then get out your GPS (wineries are spread over back roads throughout the state) and set aside a few days. Plan on visiting two or three in one day, tops; and don't forget your passport, available at all twenty-five wineries. After a couple of stops, you'll discover what makes each one unique—Sunset Meadow in Goshen offers chocolate and wine pairings; Sharpe Hill's weekend restaurant in Pomfret is so popular, reservations are suggested weeks in advance; Jones Winery in Shelton makes hump day specials with Wednesday night wine dinners; and Friday night concerts at Stonington Vineyards is the place to unwind with a picnic dinner and glass (or two!) of wine. Insider Tip: Have your passport stamped at each stop on the trail and you'll be entered into a contest to win one of sixty-five prizes, including a trip for two to Spain. For more information, visit ctwine.com.
Home Tours
Woodbury takes its antiques seriously, as it has so for some fifty years. Known as our state's Antiques Capital, more than thirty dealers call Woodbury home. In fact, in just a few short miles along Main Street you are enticed by all manner of things old; virtually every antique category, period and style is represented. Happily, you'll also find related accessories, gifts and bench-made reproductions from all over the world. This little town has some pretty fine dining too, including Carole Peck's Good News Café, ranked by Zagat as one of the best restaurants in the country; John's Café for a true Bistro-style/New American cuisine experience; or Ovens of France for freshly baked artisanal breads, sweets, cheeses and jams.
Cool Culture
Art lovers should head to Old Lyme where the Florence Griswold Museum—home of American Impressionism—takes center stage in a town filled with art. But don't stop just there. The Lyme Art Association, which opened in 1921 as a permanent exhibition home for the Lyme Art Colony artists, is another must-see. Then let your imagination—and your feet—wander to the Cooley Gallery, which some call an oasis in historically rich Old Lyme, and, for a change of pace, the Diane Birdsall Gallery for contemporary art. Tummy growling? Relax over lunch in the Old Lyme Inn's restaurant.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Rhett Gallego won't be returning to the place where he helped UAB make history 13 years ago, but he's got a good reason.
His wife, Jana, is eight months pregnant with their son, Cruz, and the trip might be too risky.
Perhaps he can be excused because of what he did last time he played there. When UAB went to LSU on Sept. 23, 2000, Gallego hit a 32-yard field goal at the end of the game to give UAB a 13-10 win over LSU.
That was the last time LSU lost a non-conference game at home. It was the only time UAB has played LSU. The teams play again Saturday at 6 p.m. on ESPNU in Tiger Stadium.
Gallego remembers plenty about the game. Some of his better memories are before the game, such as when another kicker's warm-up kicks were so bad that he got booed loudly by the student section and when someone asked then-assistant Pat Sullivan if he played at Tiger Stadium when he was a quarterback at Auburn.
"He said, 'Yeah, I've played here. I never lost here and I don't plan on changing that tonight,'" Gallego said. "Then he walked off."
Gallego hit a 29-yarder and an extra point earlier in the game. Like his teammates, he said the players weren't shocked by a rowdy Tiger Stadium environment.
"We had been some big places and played," Gallego said." You'd already been to a big stadium and seen big crowds, gone places and played tough. We weren't going to go somewhere and play in awe."
His kick at the end marked one of two UAB wins over SEC programs.
"I was watching the replay," Gallego said. "You could see from the end zone. They were walking out, then stopped and waited to see if the kick went through. Then when it did, it was a mass exit."
Nowadays, Gallego lives in Oak Grove and is married with a 6-year-old son, Pierce, and another on the way. He's worked for the last six years as a firefighter at Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue. He also owns CrossFit Bravery in Bessemer.
Since his station is close to the University of Alabama's football complex, he hears about his kick plenty. Especially since Nick Saban was LSU's coach back then.
"Those guys like to rag me about it or say something about it," Gallego said. "Our station is like a mile from the football complex. All the guys over here like to bring it up."
Gallego was one of the first responders when the tornado hit Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011. He's never met Saban before, despite being in close proximity.
He had a chance one night not long after the tornado struck. Alabama was hosting LSU in baseball and Saban spoke to a group of responders at a cookout.
"I didn't (say anything to Saban)," Gallego said. "I didn't feel like that would be the time."
When his schedule allows, Gallego is at many games or events as he can. He had the ceremonial kickoff in UAB's spring game this year as first responders were honored.
Gallego first met current head coach Garrick McGee on the day before the 2012 season opener.
"I thought I was just going to meet him and he ended up having me talk to the team before they went through Friday walkthrough" Gallego said.
"One of the coaches told me that I'm not the only one he's done this with. Anytime an old guy comes around, he treats them like family. Which is nice, because I felt like there was a disconnect with Coach (Neil) Callaway."
Gallego said he's happy with the way the program is going.
"I've met Coach McGee a couple of times," Gallego said. "I think he's great. It's headed in the right direction. He's a sharp guy."

Pakistan's War With The Taliban

The Enemy Within (2013) - Inside Pakistan\'s Desperate War With The Taliban For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=65884&bid=2 Out of bounds for most Pakistanis, this report gains rare access to a deeply troubled corner of Pakistan. The army claims it has South Waziristan under control, but is it a ticking time bomb of extremism? In a military hospital in Islamabad, hundreds of \"profoundly damaged and disabled\" soldiers are being treated. They\'ve come from the western tribal belt, where for the last nine years Pakistan has been waging a largely hidden war against extremists. \"There has been this double game that has gone on for many years, of Pakistan supporting the NATO presence in Afghanistan and at the same time allowing the Afghan Taliban to operate against the NATO forces\", explains Pakistan\'s foremost expert on Islamists in the region, Ahmed Rashid. He claims the government\'s duplicity has radicalised a local variant of the Taliban. \"There is now a full-scale extremist movement in Pakistan that is trying to overthrow the State.\" The agents of some of the worst acts of global terrorism inhabit this remote frontier. Yet many local villagers claim life under the Taliban \"was normal\" and \"nobody was afraid\". They argue the army intervention in the region has only been destructive. In an attempt to win hearts and minds, the army has opened a high school for girls, which aid workers argue is \"critical for countering extremism\". However Pakistan\'s Taliban vow they\'re determined \"to escalate the war\". ABC Australia - Ref: 5930 Journeyman P...

The public has always seen in Warren Buffett a different kind of capitalist, an honest observer providing sound financial advice regardless of his personal interests. But is he?
from Rolfe Winkler:
Buffett: Shareholder activist
Shareholder activism is a tactic typical of Carl Icahn, not the Oracle of Omaha. Yet Warren Buffett has issued a press release asking other Kraft shareholders to reject Kraft's proposal to use up to 370 million shares of stock to buy Cadbury.
A bet on America? More like a bet on a black future
"Warren Buffett bets $27 billion on America" was how the FT greeted Berkshire Hathaway's acquisition of the biggest train set in the West. Heritage, romance, aesthetics, and a green tinge to boot, those babies have everything. You can almost hear that ol' whistle blowing.
from Rolfe Winkler:
Buffett's imaginary economy
Warren Buffett is back as the nation's financial conscience, publishing an op-ed in yesterday's NYT lamenting the dangers of too much monetary and fiscal stimulus. As regular readers of this blog are aware, that's a message with which I wholeheartedly agree. My problem with Buffett's piece is that he makes a good argument and then totally undercuts it in his conclusion:
from Rolfe Winkler:
Buffett's Betrayal
When I was 14, Warren Buffett wrote me a letter.
It was a response to one I'd sent him, pitching an investment idea. For a kid interested in learning stocks, Buffett was a great role model. His investing style -- diligent security analysis, finding competent management, patience -- was immediately appealing.
Who will be CIT's Buffett?
The behind-the-scene negotiations surrounding CIT Group's threatened bankruptcy filing is bringing to mind the 2001 collapse of Finova, another sizeable mid-market lender.

Wine pairing tips for fall favorites
Jill Silverman Hough's Chanterelle and Gruyère Bread Pudding (pictured above)
The wines that go best with fall foods will be heavier and more intense, too. Lighter whites such as sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio step aside for chardonnay and reds. Here, then, are some of our favorite fall foods and the wines to enjoy with them.
— Jill Silverman Hough
FOOD: Mushrooms
WINE: Both chardonnay and pinot noir have enough heft to work with the meatiness of mushrooms and also have mushroomy nuances themselves. Think wild mushroom risotto or chanterelle and gruyère bread pudding (right). If your dish has actual meat as well — as in beef stroganoff — you could go for something heavier, such as merlot.
FOOD: Roast chicken
WINE: You can't get much more classic than roast chicken and chardonnay. For a change of pace, try viognier or even pinot noir.
FOOD: Game-day chili
WINE: A fruity red, such as zinfandel or syrah, plays well with chili's intensity, and adding a splash of wine to your chili can help seal the deal. Watch out for anything with too much alcohol — if your chili is spicy, a high alcohol wine can exacerbate the burn.
FOOD: Thanksgiving dinner
WINE: The flavors here are all over the map — the turkey is savory, the cranberry sauce is sweet, the stuffing is earthy, the green beans are vernal. Relatively middle-of-the-road pinot noir is big enough to handle the gamut but light enough to work with poultry. Gewürztraminer is a good bet if there are a lot of sweeter dishes in the meal.
FOOD: Good old-fashioned pot roast
WINE: With big, beefy food, you need similarly big, beefy wine — like cabernet sauvignon, merlot or syrah. Make the combo sing by adding a little soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, or Dijon mustard to the braising liquid.

Rangers-Padres could focus on Mike Adams
The Rangers are talking with the Padres and not just about Heath Bell. They could be making a renewed effort to get right-handed reliever Mike Adams. The Rangers like him a lot but he was not believed to be available. Indications are that has changed.
If the Rangers do get Adams, it would seem that they would have to give up at least one signficant prospect that they seemed unwilling to do on Saturday.

Nicholas O. DeJesus, 24, of Mantua Township is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office for failure to appear in Superior Court, Woodbury on Feb. 16 for a pre-arraignment interview on burglary and theft charges.
DeJesus is 5-feet, 9-inches tall, weighs 180 pounds and has brown eyes and brown hair.
Body markings: tattoos back (cross) and neck.
On Oct. 17, a West Deptford Township police officer responded to a report of a burglary on Colonial Avenue. A resident had been walking a dog for a few minutes, leaving the front door unlocked, and returned to find someone had entered the house.
A purse containing credit cards, gift cards, keys and cash was missing. After an investigation that confirmed several unauthorized credit card charges, DeJesus was charged with the burglary on Oct. 19. He was in jail at the time as a suspect in an East Greenwich Township burglary. He was released from jail Dec. 14.
A Gloucester county grand jury indicted DeJesus on Feb. 2 on charges of third-degree burglary and fourth-degree theft by unlawful taking.
Anyone who knows his whereabouts should not attempt to apprehend him. Instead, contact the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at 856-384-5644 or GCPO Sgt. Tim O'Brien at 856-498-5485.

For most of last night's game, Josh Beckett worked like an evil surgeon, dispatching the Indians without prejudice -- and without any obvious emotion.
As a Sox fan, it was a calming experience to watch. So long as the defense didn't let him down (hello, Julio Lugo getting in Dustin Pedroia's way!), I was reasonably calm that the Indians weren't getting more than a run or two.
Of course, there was that sixth inning outburst, which Awful Announcing passes along the morning. Um, what happened here?
According to scouting reports, Josh Becket is 6-foot-5 and weighs 220 pounds. Kenny Lofton is 5-foot-11 and 190. While I severely doubt Lofton's actually that big -- doesn't look bigger than 175, if you ask me -- one thing is clear: To approach Beckett like that... insanity.
Well, at least on the surface it is. The flipside argument is that Lofton knew exactly what he was doing, and reasoned that if he could frustrate Beckett, he could get him out of the game. In fact, that's the way I'm leaning.
Also courtesy AA, here's video with the umpire's audio:
Give the umpire credit. He diffused a situation where several people apparently had drank the WHOLE cup of crazy.
On another note, my favorite part of this whole thing is the way Indians fans started chanting "Kenny-Kenny-Kenny" after he approached Beckett. Reminds me of Rocky IV, except without all the Russian barns.

The executive director of Schoharie Area Long Term Inc., the non-profit disaster recovery organization formed to help Schoharie County recover from Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, has been appointed to the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council.
Schoharie County residents and community leaders gathered in Middleburgh on Sunday in a spot that was underwater at the same time five years ago.
None of the residents, including Donna Waszczak, had ever heard the dam-failure horns blow before.
Five years ago, Hurricane Irene swept through the Mohawk Valley, leaving devastating floods and damage in its wake. Entire neighborhoods remained underwater for days, especially in Rotterdam Junction.
Five years later, people across the Capital Region can recall details of the flooding caused by Hurricane Irene with ease.
Schoharie County's flood wall project is moving forward after the Federal Emergency Management Agency agreed to provide an additional $800,000 to cover the total cost last week.
Schoharie County officials last week received notice that the state Department of Environmental Conservation is suspending its permits for the county's nearly $30-million stream bank reconstruction project.
The city of Schenectady was awarded a Federal Emergency Management Administration grant for $960,161 this week to demolish three buildings that suffered severe flood damage during Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011.
In the coming weeks, Schoharie County supervisors will decide whether to borrow $15 million to continue the county's ambitious stream bank reconstruction project, and county officials say the decision will likely shape the county's finances for the next decade or more.
The reconstruction of the Blenheim Covered Bridge is moving into the next phase this fall, thanks to $5.8 million in funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
With federal funding for Schoharie County's $25 million stream bed reconstruction project suspended for nearly four months, the two contractors hired to do the work have begun packing up their equipment.
The Schoharie County Board of Supervisors earlier this month voted not to borrow an extra $10 million to keep its roughly $25 million stream bed reconstruction project moving as federal funding remains suspended.
As community leaders leaders gathered Friday morning outside the Parrott House on Main Street in Schoharie to mark the fourth anniversary of Tropical Storm Irene, they had to speak over the sounds of remodeling behind them —and those were very welcome sounds.
County supervisors have no one to blame but themselves for mismanagement and cost overruns at the massive streambed revitalization project that could cost taxpayers millions, according to an audit by the state Comptroller's Office.
Rumor has it Steve Boese's house was rolled on logs from North Street to Ingersoll Avenue way back when.
On Thursday, nearly four years after flooding hit the Stockade neighborhood, community officials unveiled their plan to save three Ingersoll Ave. buildings.
Schoharie's Niagara Engine Company No. 6 is finally receiving funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to relocate its firehouse to higher ground after it was gutted by flooding during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.
The county Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of the Seebold farm on Route 30 in the town of Schoharie at its meeting last month, despite an outcry and petition from residents surrounding that site.
After using a Secchi disc to test the water and enlisting five employees to mimic 50 swimmers Friday afternoon, Scotia Parks Superintendent Jim Marx wasn't optimistic the beach would open this summer for the first time since Tropical Storm Irene flooded it in August 2011.
A man who claimed federal emergency rental assistance after Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 is now facing federal charges, accused of lying to get it, according to a new federal indictment.
Schenectady City Council members met Wednesday to discuss three proposals delivered by council president Leesa Perazzo in an effort to increase tax cuts for residents.
When an inferno raced through five 19th century Woodlawn Avenue brick row houses in July, it jeopardized one of the few Saratoga Springs examples of the brownstone-style homes that are so numerous in New York City.
Major league scouts will be coming in droves to watch the pitching exploits of Shenendehowa senior IAN ANDERSON, just as they did a year ago to take in the batting and fielding prowess of Niskayuna's Garrett Whitley, who became a first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Rays.
