DURHAM, N.C.—Duke redshirt senior goalkeeper Alex Long made a career-high 10 saves to help the Blue Devils battle to a 0-0 tie with No. 23 Virginia in the rare midweek ACC men's soccer clash. The scoreless draw is the second consecutive for the Blue Devils as Long and the Duke backline posted its fourth shutout of the year.
"Shutouts for goalkeepers are always big," Long said. "They're great for building momentum going forward. You can build on that confidence and try to repeat it again and I'm sure it gives the defense confidence as well."
The first half featured a lot of play through the midfield with neither team creating great looks despite pressing forward with pace. Duke (4-4-4, 0-3-3) managed the first shot of the contest as Brody Huitema's header off of a cross from the left flank was stopped by Virginia goalie Jeff Gal.
Virginia (6-3-2, 2-2-2) fired three shots overall in the opening half, none of which really tested Long as he came away with one save after 45 minutes of action. Duke, meanwhile, had a pair of dangerous chances off of corner kicks that missed high and wide, respectively.
The Blue Devils' best chance came in the waning seconds of the first half as the ball got loose inside the 18-yard box, but the Cavaliers did well to safely clear it away as time expired to send the teams into the locker rooms tied 0-0.
Coming out of the break, the Cavaliers started to get into a good offensive rhythm as they ran at the stalwart Duke backline. Less than a minute into the second half, Virginia forward Darius Madison's chance slipped just wide of the goal.
With Duke struggling to find holes in Virginia's defense, the Cavaliers continued to push for the game's first goal. Virginia had 11-second half shots with six of those being stopped by Long. Perhaps most importantly, Long never gave up a rebound on the Cavaliers' long-range shots as the Blue Devils held Virginia scoreless for just the second time this season.
"Virginia came out in the second half and stepped up their offensive output," said head coach John Kerr. "We were resilient defensively. Luckily for us we stood our ground. I thought Alex Long had a great game, really solid in the back, and the back four was excellent. And Will Donovan, coming into play right back, was really good as well."
As time started to wind down in regulation, junior Nick Palodichuk had a go at goal that skipped just wide of the net with 10 to play. Neither team had any quality opportunities in the final 10 minutes as Duke headed to its second straight overtime game.
The first overtime was all Virginia. The Cavaliers nearly ended the game on five consecutive shots with just over two minutes to go. The flurry started when Eric Bird was stymied by Long on a breakaway opportunity. Jordan Allen got the rebound and fired it on frame, only to be denied by a Duke defender. Long came up with another big save on the ensuing rebound and Duke finally cleared it out of danger.
"It was make the first save, then focus on the next one and the next one," Long said. "My defense did a great job getting back. I'm happy to have them back there with me."
Huitema, with a resilient defense behind him, nearly gave the Blue Devils the overtime win with just over 30 seconds left in the game, but his 20-yard strike was tipped over the bar by Gal to end the game in a scoreless draw.
Virginia held a 22-9 advantage in shots and Gal finished with three saves. The Cavaliers also had the narrow 10-7 edge in corner kicks.
Duke continues its four-game ACC swing with NC State at Koskinen Stadium Oct. 11. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Hey guys. I thought it might be interesting to post about the T that started it all with me. My Grandmother and Grandfather used to babysit me a lot when I was a kid while my Mom and Dad worked. My Grandfather has a 1923 Model T Roadster. Man oh man did I and do I still love that roadster. I used to spend all day in it: flipping the lights on, polishing it for my grandfather (free labor I didn't mind). I would curl up in its set and fall fast asleep. To this day it is still my all time favorite Model T.
Hey Matt, Dont let Royce see the water pump. He will want you to send your car to the crusher for spurlious parts. Ok Royce just a little kidding. You are still loved. Scott
Yeah he added that a few years ago when He got the engine back brand new completely rebuilt five years ago. It was so tightly done that he had to install the electric starter to start it, and it kept over heating. To solve the over heating he opted for the water pump to help out: and it did. Five years and that brand new engine has under 100 miles on it tops. Runs like a swiss watch (well maybe not THAT finely tuned, it is a T after all )
That car has a high radiator and hood which makes it a 1924, not a 1923.
Interesting topic to be sure.
I inherited the 24 Coupe that I have from my Grandfather in 1958 when I was 10 years old.
Its been in our family since 1942 when my Grandfather bought it. He was the 2nd owner.
I finally got around to restoring it about 3 years ago.
Its been in the same family for 71 years.
Anyone else had a T in the same family any longer?
There probably is but it would be interesting to know who has one since it was new!
And yes this is the Model T that sparked my interest in Model T's!
My 22 touring cut off has been in the family since new. My grandfather put it up on blocks in 42. I inherited it in 01 at his funeral. I went through it in 2010 and it started for the first time in 69 years! My daughter that just turned 2 is the 5th generation of my family that has enjoyed this T.
James, nice job!
Thanks Ed. This is a pic of the day it started for the first time after 69 years.
Erik: It originally had a low radiator until about two years ago. With the overheating problems he decided to try swapping out the radiator (and thus hood) too. He just hasn't bothered to switch it back yet. Pointers for noticing it though He would raise Hell if someone pointed out to him that it isn't currently correct. The T was found in a barn in 1962. Finished in 1970 minus the top. Top was done in 1972.
The T when found was all there: but not fully together. A farmer had long ago converted it to a tractor: trunk was off, top long since rotted, roadster body still on, it had some sort of plow hook up on the rear of it. Other assorted parts like hood, lights, etc were throughout the barn. It even came with a spare engine. He ran that spare for decades, until 5 years ago when he sent off to have the original off the factory engine for that car to be rebuilt. Year is April of 1923.
People ask him: "how go you keep your roadtser top uncreased, cracked, like new?"
His response is: "I put that top up in 1972, it's only been down twice since then. I figure keep it up and it will never crease."
I'd love to inherit the T, or have it go to my uncle donny who helped him with it when he was a boy. Unfortunately my Aunt who is in charge of his finaces says when he dies it's being sold to pay for funeral expenses, paying off house costs until the house sells, and the remainder being split between his kids. I understand where she's coming from, but I hate to see the car that got me into the hobby for years go to a stranger who doesn't know its background. 51 years it's been in the family now. I'd like it to be in the damily for another 51. Solution? I'll just have to start saving so I can save the T: I told him he can't kick it for at least another decade then (I hate to see him go even more).
When I was about 8 years old I remember playing
with brass era match box cars. Eventually the model T came into my life. While in college I joined the major clubs. Got my first T after I paid off my student loan when I was about 33 y/o.
James: Indeed nice job! Is that an old Volkswagen Bug next to it too? I like it!
Well guys' I got my first "T" about 26 year ago and now have two. My fist one is '19 Touring and the second is a '17 Depot Hack I am now thinking of a Speedster. I have the engine and misc parts. It will just take me time and $$$$$ to get it started. There is a Ruckstell in the garage waiting to be rebuilt. Have parts on order, and will put that under the Depot Hack and that Rear end may go under the next project,
Oh well my money is not making any thing in the bank, as one just renewed for .02500000 percent. It is an IRA account and I should have closed it and moved it but my would not see to it now she regrets it.
Everyone Enjoy the ride of the Day

Thanks Matthew, That's my 72 Superbeetle.
The one that stuck in my mind was this 1917 because it was the first model T I had ever seen outside of a picture. It drove up and parked at Riverside Park in Logansport Indiana sometime in the late 70's or early 80's.
The next one was this 1919 TT that was in a 3 day estate auction where I went with my Dad and we thought if this thing sells for $500 I would own it. The truck was a one owner and the owner was in his 90's and never threw anything away. It had compression and looking back, would have ran with a little gas. He had parked it on stands in the barn and who knows how long it had sat. The bidding started and went fast and when all was done it brought $4600. This was March 20, 1982 and you could buy a restored T for $3000 back then so I didn't get this one and never saw it or the 1917 Roadster again. Anyone here know any more about either one of them?
3 years ago I was at the Pantowners car show and swap meet in St Cloud MN. A fella there had an old Model T touring in the "car corral". As I recall He wanted around $6000.00 for it. It was a well used car and had some rust issues and a few things might have been needed to be done with the interior. While I was looking it over he said he'd drop the price to $5500.00. I got my best "frustration look" on my face and offered him $5000.00. I looked over at my wife and she had a look of anticipation on her face and after 30 years I recognized that as her "keep working on it" look. But the guy said no he wouldn't go below the $5500.00. About then she said let's go for a walk and talk about it. So we went out into the swap meet and walked around for a while and soon I asked her what she thought and her response was "about what". It was at that minute my heart sunk. But after putting on that look we've all got that says we're capable of squishing a grape with one hand and telling her I was going back for a second look, she relented and we walked back into the car corral to an empty parking spot where the T had been sitting. And I hadn't bothered to get the guys name or phone number. So I pushed the old car to the back of my mind but every now and then I'd think about it and knew someday if I ever had the chance I'd own a Model T. On Easter Sunday 2011 I walked into the house and my wife was sitting in her favorite rocking chair. She had a sort of pained expression and when I asked her what was wrong she said she wanted to end the marriage. Though my heart sank I knew it was over and I'd have to start my life again. After 33 years of what I thought was a good marriage, it came to an abrupt halt. She just couldn't see putting all the money into the farm and being bothered with me wanting other things in my life. So I moved out and within a month we were divorced. I received about 1/3 of the total value of our property. I had my tools and clothes and my old F150 truck. And enough money to make a down payment on a mobile home and purchase a Model T and my furniture. It was that original Model T at the swap meet that drew me in but it was the touring I own now that ended up meaning the most. After a couple years my ex-wife are still close friends. She has her farm and an excellent income. She also kept the '38 Ford we had restored and she seems happy. Neither of us have moved on as far as finding anyone else we prefer to be with and seem to enjoy a cup of coffee from time to time and spending holidays with out kids.

I first loved Model Ts on TV. As a kid back in the late 50s & early 60s I watched a lot of TV which at that time showed a lot of old movies including those of Laurel & Hardy. I quickly noticed that the these old cars were a lot more fun than the new ones I saw every day. I have wanted on ever since.
Vintage Paul
My uncle Red a had model A 2 door & I would spend hours setting in that car & checking out every detail. When not visiting the car, I'd be pouring over the latest JC Whitney catalog from which you could order almost an entire model A (or so it seemed to me at the time).
Then one day while in hi school, I found out a buddy's dad had a '27 touring car & one day I got to ride in it. Watching him negotiate the pedals (and the shimmy in the front end) mesmorized me. I made my mind up that I had to have one, especially since it was also my dad's first car. It took a few years to fulfill the dream, but I was able to show my '26 touring off to both uncle Red and my dad before they passed away.
1923 Model T Runabout. It is my wife's car she purchased and a friend of ours drove it home for us. It made it half way and then run out of gas. Put a gallon of gas in it and it failed to start.
Trailered it home (another 14 miles). A couple of days later a local Model T Guru came over and had it running in 15 minutes. I've been hooked ever since.
We now have the 1923, a 1926 Tudor and 1927 Touring. I am building a 1915 Roadster pickup and I think that will round out our collection!
That's a great story Mike.
Paul, I remember those old laurel and Hardy movies. If they went between two trucks it came out smashed flat, if they got run into by a bus it would turn into an accordian and a lot of other things. Once in a while I still go on Youtube and look up the Keystone Cops or Laurel and Hardy or Harold Lloyd and several others. How many days were spent back in those days laughing at these clowns? Some of the best memories of my childhood.
Here's the car that did it for me... doing it again, for 9 more of the next generation.
My great-grandparents bought this car new in Sept. 1914. In 1927, it was retired to the corn crib when Great Grandpa bought a new 1927 Fordor. In 1940, both of my great-grandparents were killed in a car accident, driving their brand new '40 Ford. The '14 was used a couple more times in parades, and was then sold by the estate in the late 40s to a local guy who parked it in a garage, and never drove it. My parents bought it from him in 1990 when I was 7 years old, and my Dad restored it.
It can be seen several times in this 1942 parade footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDbkehrJkHM
Let me think about this for a minute Derek. 9 kids and a priest in the film. I know it's none of my business but I have to ask. Are you Mormon? :-)
A great film. I got a little disappointed to see how they were treating that poor Donkey. But it was all for the show.
If it was not for this 1924 TT truck, I might be in the old tractor hobby. I have a number of them.
The 24 TT was bought by my dad and his brother to replace the wagon and mules. They were in the cotton gin business. In the early 1940's, the gin was shut down and my uncle used the truck to haul corn on his farm.
By the late 1950's my uncle retired and the family truck was left parked. I took it to my dad's place across the road and started driving it. The rest is history and the car/truck collection was started with no end in sight with my two sons adding to it.
Oh I forgot, the TT was bought new in 1924 and they set on the fuel tank to drive it home. No cab or seats, just hood fenders and fire wall.
There's no picture of the one that did it for me. I was in high school when I saw a green '27 coupe sitting on a street corner with a FOR SALE sign on it. I tried to talk my folks into it, but they wouldn't go for it. $700 was a lot of dough in those days. About twenty years ago I bought a '26 roadster pickup project, then in 2007 came the '24 TT project. It wasn't until 2008 that I finally bought an actual running Model T, a '23 touring.
Nah, Mike... German Catholic farmers We'd make a Mormon family look small. Mom's one of 12 kids in her family, and Dad's one of 15 in his. I have over 80 first cousins.
Only 2 of the 9 in that picture are mine, the others are my nieces & nephews. My dad is driving, and my Mom is in the back holding an infant that can't be seen very well. There's 11 people in the car in that picture.
There are actually 2 parades spliced together in that film, and the '14 appears decorated differently in each. One is definitely 1942 or later, and the other we're not sure. If it's 1940 or earlier, that may be my great-grandparents (the original owners) driving when it is shown with the red/white/blue on the top-bows.
I figured you were Catholic. My wife was from a large German Catholic family in Southern MN too. Her family populated the area North of Worthington. As your's must have populated the area between Rochester and Owatonna. Is the Mantor House still open? And what about that little ice cream place across the street. They always had the best hard serve ice cream. I almost bought a house in Mantorville. I had a bid in on it and was ready to go to the bank when I found my place over by New Richland.
It all started while sitting on a jury ( murder trial) in 1979 in Anchorage Ak. and finding out one fellow juror had the carcass of a 1916 Model T that he wanted to get rid of, It had traveled up the Alcan Hwy. in the 50's as ballast on a load of something. It also came with a pair of skies for the front. I've been hooked on Model T's and the history of the Automobile Snow Attachments ever sense.
As found in 1979
As it is today 2013
This is the one that got me started. My Dad used to always talk about driving these funny cars with the three pedals, so long before I got this one I was fascinated by them.

This is the T that hooked me. Picture was taken in 1937 as my Grandparents returned from a month long camping trip (with Granny's sister and husband) through the Black Hills of South Dakota. My grandfather drove the car daily until his death in 1953. I have been the 09's caretaker for the family since 1975. In 2008 we proudly drove it in my hometown's 125th anniversary parade.
My first exposure to a Model T was my next door neighbor in 79' Ed Tate, he had a 1921 Touring. He took me for a ride around the old Chatsworth Reservoir and then asked me if I wanted to drive it back. Well, I jumped at the chance, and have been hooked ever since. A couple of weeks later (which coincidentally my parents left for vacation) the San Fernando Valley Model T Club was holding a weekend long swapmeet at Fallbrooke Mall's rear parking lot. Ed asked me if I wanted to go, said I might see some cars there. I took about $100.00 out of the bank and went to the meet with Ed. I didn't at that time realize what these cars cost, but I was hoping I could at least buy something. By the end of the day I bought a frame, a brake control lever and a steering column for $75.00. That's where I started...I built mine from the ground up, it's pure 22 (with the exception of a 1914 low head and that 24 engine I got from Don Bell for $200.00) My father and I spent every weekend at every swapmeet we could find getting parts and what parts I didn't or couldn't get or find from the meets, the members either donated (in exchange for sandblasting) or sold me out right. I was going to be finished in a year, but I did something stupid and it didn't quite work out that way (I got married) my project got put on permanent hold.
Two marriages and a bunch of years later I started again in 2011. This time I'm going to finish the old girl, then I'm going to point her the general direction of East and see how far I can get.
The car that got me started wanting a T was a 1914 Touring parked in my uncle's dirt floored garage. He bought it from the estate of the second owner in the early 50's and restored it. As kid I was always looking for an excuse to go into that garage and look at the car. It came out of the garage once a year and was driven through a local parade and then parked again.
As time went on it was driven with less frequency until he had a flat tire in the early 90's and it was parked for the last time by my uncle. After he passed on 06 I bought it from my aunt and bought some tires for it
Martin, have faith in your T, it will make it to where ever you want to go. I drove a T from Tennessee to Texas, then to California and to Alaska. In fact I have driven through 28 states, 3 Canadian provinces and from the Gulf of Mexico in Florida to the Arctic Circle. If you come through Tennessee, give me a shout. Remember you can go anywhere in one if you have a cell phone,AAA, and a MasterCard! Good Luck!!! Ken Swan
Very first? Probably L & H movies. Dad loved 'em. Actual T contact was with relatives that lived on Long Island. An Uncle had bought a 1919 Touring that was on blocks when I was a kid and when ever we visited I would promptly disappear into the barn. Usually they had to come looking for me. It's fully restored and my cousin still owns it. I drove it about 10 years ago but had my own T at the time.
Back when I was a little kid (Why do all my stories begin with that phrase?), my Dad took the family to Henry Austin Clark's "Long Island Automotive Museum." There, I saw this Fire Chief's car for the first time and decided I wanted to own a Model T Ford, some day.
Two links:
I remember riding in my grandfathers 1911 T around 8 years old on HCCA meets in Nebraska. It's possible that going with him and watching him work on his cars might have got me started with cars and mechanical things. My uncle (his son) was also a avid enduro racer in the 70's and I know for sure that rubbed off on me and my brother.
Don't know when he bought the 1911 but the 1916 Coupelet I inherited was purchased by him in December 1953 from the second owner. It's been in the family for sixty years.
I played in and on both of these when I was 5 or 6 years old. My Great Grandfather's farm truck and my Grandfather's Tudor. Both of them have survived and I have the Tudor.
I remember the first time I saw a model T. My family has always had antique cars but my grandfather told my dad there's two cars I won't have on his property one was the six cly. Essex the other was a model T. I will agree he was spot on with the Essex. Anyway dad never ended up with a T but growing up around the horseless carrige club I got my fair share of rides in them. somehow they were my favorite. My first memory of the T came from a family friend and their T His name was Jim Reed this man was such a T guy he took his kids out of school and drove his 1917 touring from Washington state to the Dearborn Mich and back in the 80's (does anyone remember?)As much fun this family had I made a promise to own a T. Fast forward 25 years while I have had more than a few, Dad just got his first T a week ago I am so Proud of Him.
James Baker like me! T & VW.
I bought my '26 Touring when a senior in high school. It was a tradition for seniors in high school in Norway to drive around in old cars. In my class there was another T-Touring - a '27, as well as a '23 FIAT touring, a 4 cyl. Chevy and a '28 Dodge sedans.
I first looked at an 8 cyl. Hudson convertible sedan, which could have become a grand vehicle, but it was beyond my ability, time and money to make drivable, so when I saw the T, I was hooked. The owner just got in and hit the starter, and she came to life.
The '74 Superbeetle with "Autostick" was my dad's fifth and last Beetle. He bought the first one in 1953, and got a new one every five years.
My grandpa gave me a Model T repair manual by Victor Page, when I was 10 yrs. old and I wanted one until I bought a Model T when I was 16 yrs. old. A '26 Coupe. Paid $260.00. I have been hooked for 55 yrs. Now retired, I have 3. I still love them.
The 1909 T survivor that belonged to the owner of the local Ford dealership here in town was the one that got me.
His Dad kept it in the basement of the dealership until his son dragged it out and put it on display in the show room.
It was there till about 40 years ago when he got an offer he couldn't refuse.
As I recall the offer was an unheard of $6,000 and a Mr. Knight, of Knight Manufacturing, Brodhead, Wisconsin, bought it and restored it.
I'm still working on getting a photo of that car.......the dealer's wife is 88-89 years old and there's still a chance....... ;)
My 23 comes from Hamburg, Wisconsin. That's between Wausau, Merrill and Athens. Draw that triangle and Hamburg is in the center. That was in 1945'ish. I brought it here, to Sacramento, in 1971 and restored it. I'm the second owner. A gent, now deceased, named Hank Czech was the first owner. Basically, Hank wanted to make a hay wagon our of it. I found a frame and 4 wheels and we traded. I was extremely rough on it as a kid but it hung in there and the parts that were on it then are the ones I'm driving today...including the cracked block, cracked by using water in zero degree winters.
Some of you know my T story - The T that sparked my interest showed up at our house in the mid 50�s when my dad purchased it and I helped him restore it. I had a slight interest in it during the early 60�s but focused on other things. Then 3 years ago, I was talking with my mom about �the old days� and she told me that she was waiting for me to �get that damn car out her barn� because it was in her way. The spark from the 50�s ignited the flame and I took mom for her first ride in the T since 1964 on Thanksgiving and now the flame is burning brightly.
Driving the T while in highschool -early 60's
Thanksgiving with Mom,
Family fun --
I got the model T bug at a hit and miss engine show around 15 years ago. There was a guy there with a touring car that gave me a ride around the grounds. It took me a couple of years to save up to get my first but I bet I'v drove that TT truck 2000 miles sense, from parades to just rides, Last year at the farm show in Washington crossing park nj I bet I had 20 boy scouts in the back. Now I have three model T's that my kids enjoy driving. Sometimes I think its more fun watching them drive my cars than me!
Lots of great pics and stories! This is going to sound silly, but here it is:

WESTFORD -- When Sgt. David Connell would leave his home and get into his cruiser, his partner in the backyard would be itching to join him, ready to be deployed to the next crime scene.
Fax vom haus Vortkamp, a German shepherd, was a working dog through and through, Connell said.
"Any time he did come out of the kennel and went into the cruiser, he knew we were going to work," said Connell.
Fax, one of the town's first K-9s, died last week at Connell's home.
He was a few days shy of his 14th birthday.
Fax worked for about seven years with Connell. During some of that time, Connell had another K-9 named Sam, a German shepherd that died during the height of his career due to complications from cancer.
Fax, a patrol and narcotics dog, died of old age.
"In mind and spirit, he would have kept going, but his rear end wouldn't let him," said Connell.
Fax recently started to move slower than he used to and had trouble getting up due to spinal degeneration.
Fax's ashes will be buried alongside Sam's in a memorial garden outside the Police Department that is being planned.
There isn't a big story that comes to mind when reflecting on Fax's career, but there were several consistent crimes that Fax was involved in solving.
He was involved in apprehending numerous breaking and entering suspects, suspects in domestic disputes, car-chase suspects and finding missing children or elderly and carrying out search warrants.
He patrolled the halls of Westford Academy and Nashoba Valley Technical High School on sweeps and drug searches.
Fax was trained in an aggressive way, meaning if he was at the high school and he smelled drugs in a locker, he would scratch at the locker.
The current K9 narcotics dog, Misty, is passively trained. She will lie down in front of a locker where she smells drugs.
At home, Fax would spend time in a specialty kennel that kept him warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Connell said there are several K-9s that are treated as pets of their handlers, but Fax got his stimulation and satisfaction out of working.
Although he never had a live bite, Fax could be a bit edgy around people, growling when he was in big crowds.
Connell said Fax was what you want in a police dog. If he went into the woods to look for a dangerous person, Fax would be prepared to capture that person.
"He was all business," said Connell.
Connell said Fax would work whole-heartedly on whatever task was put in front of him.
"The courage and the strength of these dogs, sending them in to go after somebody," Connell said.
In his retirement, Fax mellowed and developed a great relationship with Connell's daughter, who would take Fax for walks after school.
Fax stayed true to his German roots.
He was imported from Germany and all of his commands were in German. Connell had to learn the commands like "platz," which means "lie down."
Connell, who retired Fax when he was promoted to sergeant in 2008, said being a K-9 officer was the highlight of his career.
"No doubt, if you're deployed, you're getting something good. The adrenaline was always going," he said.
Sam and Fax paved the way to keep the K-9 program in the Police Department going.
Officer Corey Peladeau now handles two dogs, Misty and Beny, a patrol dog.
"I got home safely to my family every time I got deployed because of these dogs," Connell said.

LONGMONT -- Ray Babcock's voice lowered a bit as he inspected his old and well-worn commemorative World War II and Korean War veteran cap on Friday afternoon.
More importantly, he reviewed the pins and badges that chronicle his long military service. They recall a history he feared he lost forever on March 22 when he misplaced the hat at a Longmont King Soopers store.
He said he stopped by the pharmacy at 2255 North Main St. to take his blood pressure and briefly took off his hat and set it to the side. He walked away, leaving the hat behind, but returned within minutes to retrieve it and found it was gone. For a week he worried that his collection and personal history were gone and, in some cases, could not be replaced. Pins honoring achievement and awards -- notably a Purple Heart -- and time served on some of the most legendary aircraft in U.S. military history books, like the B-17 and B-29.Babcock reported the loss to police and officers publicized that the hat was missing and the Times-Call ran a story about it. On Friday morning, a man stopped by the Times-Call offices and dropped off the hat. He did not leave his name or contact information, but he told a receptionist that he found it in King Soopers and had not stolen it.
Babcock was just grateful to have it back.
"I didn't think it meant much to me until it went away," he said, reviewing the collection of pins and badges, pointing out what he had done to earn them and which among them were hard to impossible to replace, like a small aerial gunner badge that features a downward facing bullet with wings spread behind it.
"Everything is there," he said quietly. "God, I am so glad to see that."He pointed to a small prisoner of war pin that gleamed off of the hat.
"That one," he said, "I don't want to do that again," he said.
Babcock arrived at the Times-Call wearing a new World War II and Korean War veteran's hat to replace the old one. There were no pins on it. He said his wife, Dora, wants him to transfer the pins to the new hat now that they have been returned.
"She says this one is old and dirty," he said.
Babcock was shot down over Vienna during World War II and spent months as a prisoner of war. He retired from the U.S. Air Force as a technical sergeant. A pin denoting his rank was pinned to the center of his old hat.
He wore his new hat until he turned to walk away. Then in one fluid movement, the stiff new hat came off and the old one plopped onto his head and settled comfortably into its rightful spot.

Games Played for Week 21
5 Games - Portland
4 Games – Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Indiana, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Sacramento, Utah, Washington
3 Games – Cleveland, Detroit, Golden State, Houston, L.A. Clippers, New Orleans, Orlando, San Antonio, Toronto
2 Games – L.A. Lakers
I got knocked out of the playoffs in a few leagues last week thanks to Carmelo Anthony, but will face NBA TV's Rick Kamla in the League Freak playoffs this week. We tied categories at 4-4 last week and should have a nice battle, as he gets five games from Damian Lillard. I'm starting Jrue Holiday, Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, Serge Ibaka, Al Jefferson and Derrick Williams, all with four games, and benching Bradley Beal, which makes me nervous. Kamla is using Lillard with five, Mike Conley and Zach Randolph with four, and Tim Duncan, Tobias Harris and Anthony Davis with three, while benching Carmelo Anthony (for now). Hopefully my two extra games will pull me through.
Atlanta – After pimping Devin Harris in Waiver Wired he disappeared on Sunday with four points and four assists, despite getting the start for Larry Drew. He was in foul trouble, and while the occasional off night can be expected from Harris, he should be better than this on most days. Jeff Teague came off the bench and I still have no idea what Drew tries to prove by benching his starters nearly every time they come back from an injury. Teague should be in lineups this week, along with Josh Smith and Al Horford, while Harris and Kyle Korver might be worth a shot.
Boston – Kevin Garnett missed Sunday's practice with a strained adductor and is 50-50 to play on Monday against the Heat. The Celtics also have back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday of this week, meaning KG isn't all that likely to play four times. If he can play on Monday, don't be surprised to see him possibly sit against the Mavericks on Friday. And any time KG is out, Jeff Green becomes a must-start player. Keep an eye out later on Monday for news on KG's status vs. the Heat.
Brooklyn – Reggie Evans blew up on Sunday with 14 points and 22 boards against the Hawks, but I still don't trust him. Joe Johnson played against his former team through his sore heel and scored 18, but owners have to be a little worried about his ability to play in all four games this week. The Nets play again on Monday and also have a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, but as of now, it appears that Johnson should try to play in all four games. Deron Williams is nursing pain in his ankles, and is another player who may not be able to make it through all four games this week, but is playing well enough that he should be in your lineup.
Charlotte – Jannero Pargo led the Cats in scoring on Saturday, which should tell you what a mess they are right now. Josh McRoberts had nine points, 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in that one, and is officially the power forward of choice for Mike Dunlap right now. Feel free to grab him if you need one. Meanwhile, Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker remain must-start fantasy players.
Chicago – As usual, Derrick Rose still has no target return date in mind, but did practice on Sunday. He could play as soon as Monday, or sit out the rest of the regular season. Who knows? Any time Rose sits, Nate Robinson is worth using, and I'm fairly comfortable plugging him into weekly lineups right now. Even when Rose returns, he could see limited minutes. Taj Gibson (knee) and Kirk Hinrich (foot) are doubtful for Monday's game, while Marco Belinelli looks like a solid fantasy starter this week for the Bulls.
Cleveland – Dion Waiters, Tristan Thompson and Shaun Livingston are the only sure bets in Cleveland right now, which should tell you something about how bad this team is, with or without Kyrie Irving.
Dallas – Elton Brand started over Chris Kaman on Sunday, but neither player did much of anything. Brandan Wright continues to get the most minutes and production at center for the Mavs, but he is far from a must-start player. He had eight points and seven boards in 30 minutes. Mike James is starting at point guard and had 14 points and two 3-pointers, making him worth a look in some deep leagues, while Shawn Marion missed another game with his calf injury. Roddy Beaubois' season might be over after breaking a finger on Sunday, which should help Vince Carter and Darren Collison see a few more minutes each night.
Denver – Kosta Koufos had 18 points, 16 boards and three blocks on Friday and looks like a must-start player with four games this week. I just picked him up in one league and am pretty excited to be able to put him right into my lineup.
Detroit – Brandon Knight is iffy for Monday with his sprained ankle. I wouldn't be surprised to see him miss another game or two, but we'll have to see how he's feeling at game time. As long as he's out, Rodney Stuckey looks like a must-start and Will Bynum is also going to put up decent numbers.
Golden State – These guys are healthy and Jarrett Jack is heating up again. The problem is the constant string of three-game weeks from here on out.
Houston – Donatas Motiejunas continues to be hit-or-miss, James Harden continues to be as reliable as they come (despite a sore foot) and the Rockets play three games per week in three of the next four. Omer Asik is playing through a tweaked groin.
Indiana – Roy Hibbert is finally coming on for the Pacers and is a must-start right now, along with David West, Paul George and George Hill. And owners in deep leagues can consider Lance Stephenson, who is still starting at shooting guard.
L.A. Clippers – Caron Butler returned on Sunday with 14 points, which makes Matt Barnes quite a bit less appealing, especially with three games this week. I'm benching DeAndre Jordan for Koufos, but Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are nearly must-starts, while Jamal Crawford should be a decent option.
L.A. Lakers – Kobe Bryant sat out Sunday's game against the Kings with his sprained ankle and is listed as doubtful for Monday against the Suns. Given the quality of tonight's opponent, I'd be surprised to see Kobe against Jared Dudley. The team is then off until Friday, but with just two games his week, owners of any Lakers are going to have some tough decisions to make on Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. Antawn Jamison went off in Kobe's absence on Sunday with 27 points, but the two-game week is bad news. Pau Gasol isn't expected to play Monday, so leave him on your bench.
Memphis – Jerryd Bayless went off for 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting on Saturday, but is not all that trustworthy. His explosion hurt Tony Allen's production, but Allen still looks like the better play. The Grizzlies play four times per week for the next three, making Mike Conley, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol must-starts. And as long as Z-Bo is healthy, Ed Davis should be on fantasy benches.
Miami – They've won 22 straight games, have four games per week in three of the next four, and continue to roll. If you are going up against LeBron James or Dwyane Wade in the playoffs this week, I wish you well. Wade luckily avoided a concussion and it looks like he should be good to go this week, while Ray Allen is worth a look in some leagues.
Milwaukee – The Bucks go four times and Monta Ellis is coming off a 39-point game on Sunday. Brandon Jennings, Ersan Ilyasova and Larry Sanders are also must-starts in Milwaukee, while J.J. Redick and Mike Dunleavy are hit or miss. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute was out with a toe injury, opening up some extra minutes for Dunleavy.
Minnesota – Derrick Williams went nuts on Sunday with a season-high 28 points and a full stat line, and now looks like a solid four-game play this week. Just keep in mind he had been struggling recently before Sunday's explosion. Andrei Kirilenko and Nikola Pekovic were back on Sunday in limited minutes and look like decent options this week. Greg Stiemsma's value took a big hit with their return, while Ricky Rubio is a must-start, and Luke Ridnour might also be worth using in some instances.
New Orleans – The Hornets play three times this week, leaving owners of Ryan Anderson, Greivis Vasquez, Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu and Robin Lopez with tough decisions. In my mind, Anderson, Vasquez and Davis are nearly must-starts. Gordon might sit on Monday after playing Sunday, so I'd lean toward benching him for now.
New York – Raymond Felton had a nice game on Sunday, Chris Copeland scored 13 points while helping fill in for Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire, and the Knicks play four times this week. Melo (knee) and Chandler (neck) remain day-to-day with their injuries, but I would have a tough time plugging them into weekly lineups unless we get good news Monday. Felton and J.R. Smith are must-starts, while Iman Shumpert, Copeland, Kenyon Martin, Steve Novak and Jason Kidd are worth a look.
Oklahoma City – The Thunder have their last four-game week of the season this week, meaning Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka are must-starts, while Kevin Martin should also be a decent play.
Orlando – The Magic have three games this week meaning owners will have to weigh options carefully. Arron Afflalo, Jameer Nelson, Tobias Harris, Moe Harkless and Nikola Vucevic all look like solid options.
Philadelphia – Thaddeus Young banged his knee on Saturday but played through it. With four games this week, Young, Jrue Holiday, Spencer Hawes, Evan Turner and Dorell Wright all look like pretty good plays.
Phoenix – With four games, Goran Dragic looks like a must-start, while Michael Beasley (21 points on Saturday) and Jermaine O'Neal are also decent options. Jared Dudley, Luis Scola, Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris and P.J. Tucker are also worth a look, but are too inconsistent to be considered automatic plays.
Portland – The Blazers go five times this week so Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge and J.J. Hickson are all must-starts. Eric Maynor had three points and Meyers Leonard scored two on Saturday, meaning you can't really use either of them despite the five-game week.
Sacramento – Patrick Patterson had 22 points on Sunday, filling in for DeMarcus Cousins who was out with a thigh injury. With four games I'd plan on starting Isaiah Thomas, Jason Thompson, Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton, but the list ends there. Patterson will be worth a shot if Cousins continues to sit, and he's questionable for Tuesday, leaving owners of both players with a very tough call.
San Antonio – The Spurs play three games and Tim Duncan is hot. With no back-to-backs this week, Duncan should be a safe play, but you never know with Gregg Popovich. Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Tiago Splitter and Manu Ginobili are all worth a look this week, but would be more appealing with four games.
Toronto – Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson, Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas are all three-game options this week, but Lowry is struggling and Gay looks like the only must-start player in Toronto right now.
Utah – With four games I'd plan on starting Al Jefferson, Gordon Hayward and Paul Millsap, while Mo Williams, Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors may be worth a shot.
Washington – Bradley Beal played on Saturday and scored 13 points, and is hoping to play on Monday. I'm guessing he'll play in all four this week, but there is some risk involved with him. Martell Webster is a must-start with four games, along with John Wall, Nene and possibly Emeka Okafor. Garrett Temple will fade away with Beal's return, while Trevor Booker is coming on off the bench.

When she's not busy whining about past relationships and heartbreak, or how she should insure her boobs for $5-million, Jennifer Love Hewitt apparently spends her time scheming to win over the readers of Maxim magazine.
The 34-year-old actress has been named maxim's hottest cover girl ever, beating out the likes of Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis, Jessica Alba and Christina Aguilera. (Seriously?!)
According to the RadarOnline.com, it was a fan-based poll and it was JLH that won the crown from fan love. (Again — seriously?!)
"Oh my God, I'm so excited, I think it's really awesome, I'm such a big fan of the magazine," she told the mag.
"At 34, to be considered sexy is a big deal," Hewitt told the mag. "Because you start to wonder.
"I promise to keep it sexy," she added. "I want another cover! I've done four, and I think I've got a good seven covers left."
During a recent interview with USA Today, the starlet joked that her breasts were worth $5 million US. Keeping with the comment, when asked what her favourite body part is, the actress responded, "Still my boobs!"
In other JLH news, sources say that the baby-crazy brunette is planning on starting a family — with or without her current squeeze Brian Hallisay, 34.
"She has been asking a few women she knows about freezing her eggs," a source told Us Weekly.
The actress, who penned a (horrible) book about love and heartbreak isn't taking any chances. After a series of break-ups and make-ups, including exes such as: John Mayer, Patrick Wilson, Carson Daly, Jamie Kennedy, Alex Beh, Wilmer Valderrama and ex-fiancé Ross McCall — JLH reportedly "feels worried that she will end up single, since none of her relationships have been successful," the source revealed to Us Weekly.
"If it doesn't work out with Brian, she can still be a mom one day."
Previously, the actress has opened up about her desire to become a mother one day saying, "I would love to have babies. I'm obsessed with babies."
"I would love to have them one day," she told Us Weekly back in 2010.
"I think you learn a lot from every break up," the star told Us Weekly. "It is so much more important that you love yourself rather than someone else. I've had breakups and they've been public, but I don't regret any of them. I adore them all. I've gotten very lucky."
Check out five other hotties that (in our opinion) could give Jennifer Love Hewitt a run for her money.

McDonough County became the final county of four Wednesday to approve a joint resolution incorporating the Hancock-Fulton-McDonough-Schuyler Educational Service Region, effective in July, 2015.
State law calling for the downsizing of 44 regional offices into 33 allows counties to submit their combination choices by July 1 of this year.
The Hancock County Board approved the resolution Tuesday, and the Fulton and Schuyler county boards approved it last week. Fulton/Schuyler Regional Office of Education Superintendent Dave Demler and Hancock/McDonough ROE Superintendent John Meixner were present for the vote in each county.
The boards also approved and intergovernmental agreement for the funding of the planned four-county educational service region. McDonough County Board Chairman Scott Schwerer said all four county board chairmen were involved in drawing up the funding agreement.
In other business, the McDonough County Board approved a revised county liquor ordinance. There is currently only one tavern in the unincorporated area of the county, but Schwerer said the action puts the county in position to act on any future liquor license applications.
The county board chairman is designated as county liquor commissioner. Board member Paul Trimmer cast the lone vote against the ordinance because he advocated the addition of a few county board members to act as a liquor advisory commission, as exists in the city of Macomb.
"This is not a mirror of Macomb's policy," Schwerer responded. "It is our own."
After the board meeting, Trimmer said, "That's too much responsibility for one person."
During the meeting, Schwerer said he consults with State's Attorney James Hoyle and with County Sheriff Rick VanBrooker on any liquor issue.
The county board also approved a video gaming ordinance for the county. After the meeting, Schwerer said he anticipates an application from the county's sole liquor license holder to add video games.
The board approved an agreement with Renaissance Roofing for repair of the McDonough County Courthouse dome and clock tower at a cost of $105,000. The county received a $30,000 grant to help pay for the work.
Schwerer reported that sales tax income for 2012 was $4,378 higher than in 2011, with an $8,500 drop in December. He said the portion of the county sales tax dedicated to public safety expenses increased by $1,811 from 2011 to 2012, and the fund was $2,300 higher in December than it was in December, 2011.
The board approved the appointment of member Matt McClure to replace the late Donald "Doc" Horine on the Macomb Airport Authority, and the appointment of Joanne Hooper to replace the late Art Chown on the 708 Mental Health Board. The board also voted to reappoint Ron Ludlum as a trustee of the Bushnell Fire Protection District.
Board members approved increasing the penalties for unlicensed refuse hauling under a residential recycling ordinance in force in McDonough, Warren, and Mercer counties. The minimum fine for a first offense would go from $50 to $200, a second offense fine would jump from $100 to $500, and a hauler found guilty of a third offense would be subject to a $1,000 fine.
Speaking on behalf of six local businesses, Frank Jobe of Minus Muffler and Towing offered thanks to the county board for last month's repeal of a state regulation that would have imposed new license fees. "It was the right thing to do," he said.
Schwerer announced that 10 of the 21 county board members need to take state-mandated training in the Open Meetings Act, or need to submit their certificates of completion.
County Clerk Gretchen DeJaynes distributed state economic interest forms that need to be completed annually by county board members.

A Boulder district judge on Friday handed down a 6-year prison sentence to an estate planning attorney who pleaded guilty to bilking his 94-year-old mother-in-law -- who suffers from dementia -- out of $578,000.
The defendant, John Charles Byrne, 63, who now lives in Arizona, was appointed as trustee and fiduciary for his mother-in-law, Charlotte Irey Short, in 2005. Soon after, Byrne listed himself as a dependent of Short's, citing back problems as a health matter.
Judge Thomas Mulvahill handed down the strictest sentence possible for Byrne's felony and misdemeanor theft conviction, saying that anything less than the maximum would send the wrong message to Short, her heirs and those who serve in fiduciary roles for the elderly.
Sentences, the judge said, need to serve as a "fair warning."
"You used Ms. Short's money for your own selfish and greedy well-being," Mulvahill told the defendant. "The thing about thieves is every time they're stealing, it takes a sufficient amount of planning and cunning. In your case, you did it repeatedly."
Byrne had been married to Short's only daughter, who died at the age of 30, before he re-married. Short had a career with the University of Colorado as a choreographer and dance professor before she moved into the Frasier Meadows retirement community in 2000.
Authorities became aware of the fraud case after Frasier Meadows reported that the woman's bills were going unpaid and she owed more than $40,000.
In 2011, a law enforcement team and civil attorneys discovered that Byrne had stolen more than $578,000 from the woman. He also was living in her home rent-free.
Byrne drained Short's liquid assets to support himself and his family, spending money on trips to Mexico and hotels. He also invested heavily in "WealthMasters," a Ponzi scheme, according to court documents.
Family support
Several family members in the courtroom showed support for Byrne, lining up in the gallery to give him tearful hugs before he was taken into custody.
Byrne's family members told the judge that he was a good father and a loving, caring person.
His attorney -- Nelissa Milfield of the public defender's office -- asked the judge to sentence her client to two years in prison, considering that Byrne did not have a prior criminal history and that he wasn't profiting from the Ponzi scheme.
"He used money to start a business, and from my research it appears that this business was a pyramid scheme, in which Mr. Byrne was not a main actor," Milfield said. "He never had one single client from this wealth-building venture."
Paying it back
Mulvahill also ordered Byrne to pay restitution amounting to $912,550, though he said it's unlikely that the money will ever be fully paid back.
Byrne also will be sentenced to three years parole and five years of supervised probation. In response to the sentencing, Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said protecting vulnerable seniors is a top priority for his office, and Byrne's case illustrates why.
"No one should ever have to fear, in their twilight years, that someone they trusted would steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from them," Garnett said. "Any trusted person who would do what this defendant did would deserve a stiff prison sentence.
"The fact that Mr. Byrne is a lawyer, and an officer of the court, makes it even worse."

The year 2013 exploded with a smorgasbord of showbiz scandals, controversies and exposes: mismanagement issue between a network and its star, star's pregnancy rumors, network's alleged misdealings, concubinage, adultery, break-ups, a botched Filipino reporter's Hollywood interview that went viral. And we are not done with January yet!
And now, it's Monday, and already we awoke at the possibility of two things: a cancellation of a star-studded teleserye about to be aired soon, or the possibility of one of its lead star's character being axed so soon. What do we know? Looks like stories like this will fill the media, especially the social networks, in the coming days and weeks.
The new teleserye NT stars among others, the veterans in the industry and the networks' young and popular talents. This is veteran actress VA's comeback vehicle after a long break from showbiz. NT had recently started taping and early on had began to encounter some difficulties. Long before taping started, both fans and observers had preconceived notion that NT will not be as successful as the other huge teleseryes before it. Reasons such as the negative image of some of its lead stars, both the young and the veterans alike, have valid points.
Young female lead FL and young male lead ML stars are each both beset with relationship issues, quite unpalatable, to say the least. Veteran female VF is consumed by her own personal issues -- alleged uncontrolled emotions and dependence on certain stuff. Insider reports alleged the first conflict that happened during the taping between ML and VF could have been avoided had VF learned to keep her emotions in check. After all, this is a major project for her, and any wrong move will cost her more.
A little control and sacrifice would have gone a long way and saved everyone's day. The shouting incident was a huge letdown that pushed the production and network to put in immediate and major changes into the line-up of NT's stars. The circumstances certainly shaped the end. And sadly, it is the first casualty, VF, who will have to go.
"A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them." ~ Oscar Wilde

And Remember:
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
What are you guys talking about? Our education system is fine. Really.
I just love getting the spoils after a victorious Wreckporter's first hunt. Here's what Lillian J. had to say:
"I thought that being a wreckhunter would be challenging, to say the least. There really couldn't be that many grocery store bakers that were as artistically challenged/borderline illiterate as your blog would suggest, right? After all, you have the agents fanning the entire country hunting down these elusive gems! I thought it would be months - nay, years! - until I saw one in real life. Still, I figured I'd give it a go. Imagine my giddy astonishment when I bagged this prime specimen on my very first wreckhunt!"
Excellent work, Lillian. You're a tiger. A wreck-hunting tiger.

Illusive? "Having the quality of an illusion"?
- November 4, 2008 at 12:09 PM
sorry to be a spoilsport, but you might want to check your spelling as well. It would be 'elusive', not illusive. Thanks.

- November 4, 2008 at 12:43 PM
To the comments about "illusive" great catch. I sometimes think we all rely on spell check too much. At least it's a word. Not the right word but hey, who's countign?
- November 4, 2008 at 12:45 PM

Love it! I especially think that the icing is appropriate because clearly, much like the decorator's spelling abilities, the chocolate is a reminder of what is going down the toilet.

Great link Emily!
Semi-homemade shouldn't look 90% store-bought and 100% slopped together. Perfect for CW, though, and w/o any writing. Not always a simple feat. Kudos, semi-lady.

All that is missing from this wreck are quotation marks and capitalized letters that are not the first.

Thank you for all of those who pointed out the illusive/elusive error, but I'd just like to AKS you one question:
Have any of YOU on the Grammar Patrol found a wreck as wonderful, as TOPICAL, and as brimming with chocolatey sincerity as this one Lillian J has bagged for our enjoyment?!
- November 6, 2008 at 5:43 AM
- Lord Alford said...
Your vote counts unless you live in the Middle Ages, then your count votes.
- November 6, 2008 at 12:59 PM
i am reminded of a teacher who, on a class field trip, ordered "a hot dog, without the apostrophe." (hot dog's, as the sign said.)
while my blatant disregard for capitalization drives others mad, at least i'm not trying to SELL my mistakes.
oh well... at least it was good for the laugh! keep them coming.

i am glad they didn't leave out the "o" eek.

I FIGURED IT OUT PEOPLE!!!...These bakery people aren't stupid!!! They are actually very bright...This is how it works:
1. Create a cake too ugly or misspell the message.
2. Deny any of the work done "I don't know who made that" (in case the boss asks)
3. Wait for the customers to NOT BUY the monstrosity and boss asks which staff member wants to take unsold cake home for free.
4. Laugh hysterically all the way home in the car how you wrangled yet another free cake for the family this weekend.
ps. as I write this...how ironic that the word verification is 'convic' Convict? Criminal or press charges on these cake free loaders? LOLOLOLOL
- November 18, 2008 at 6:33 PM

Counst - that sounds like it's past tense. Or maybe that's, "Your vote counsted." Yes, that's right.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

A 26-0 run helped Walsh pull away to an 82-54 victory over Ohio Dominican and enable Jeff Young to tie Steve Loy's school record for most wins by a men's basketball coach.
Walsh University head coach Jeff Young does not put much stock in his personal feats.
His hope Thursday night was for the Cavaliers to take care of business on the court.
The record he matched when they did so was a bonus.
A 26-0 run helped Walsh pull away to an 82-54 victory over Ohio Dominican and enable Young to tie Steve Loy's school record for most wins by a men's basketball coach.
Young is 254-55 in 10 seasons with the Cavs.
"As far as the record goes, I think I've probably been here longer than any of those guys," Young said. "If you're here long enough, you're eventually going to break some records."
Young led Walsh to the NAIA Division II national championship in 2005 and has coached two 30-win teams and eight 20-win teams. His .821 winning percentage going into Thursday was third among active NCAA Division II coaches.
"I feel pretty fortunate," Young said. "I've had good players. You can't compete in this game unless you have good players."
Young spent more than 11 years as an assistant coach on Loy's staff. The program experienced tough times shortly before he was hired as head coach. Loy died in early 2004 due to complications from liver cancer.
Thoughts of Loy and Dan Peters are going through his mind these days. Peters, Young's head coach at Walsh, took a leave of absence as Akron's director of basketball operations in December to fight pancreatic cancer.
"I learned a lot from both those guys," Young said. "... I'm still extremely close with Coach Peters. It has been a tough month and a half with what Coach Peters is going through and watching Steve go through the same thing 10 years ago."
Young on Thursday watched the Cavs (12-3, 8-3) rebound from their first loss in over a month and maintain a share of first place in the GLIAC South Division.
Walsh broke open the game by scoring the final 16 points of the first half for a 44-23 lead at the break. The Cavs also scored the first 10 points of the second half.
"It all starts on the defensive end, rebound the ball and get stops," Walsh guard Jesse Hardin said. "We're at our best when we run in transition."
A finish by Hardin early in the second half exemplified what kind of night it was for the Cavs.
There was initial concern when starting guard Brad DuPont crashed into the Ohio Dominican bench during the flow of play. DuPont, however, regrouped, ran behind the scorer's table as the Cavs pushed the ball and was about to re-enter the court when Hardin dunked in an alley-oop from Davonte Beard.
"You can tell it's your night when something like that happens," Young said.
Hardin and DuPont led Walsh with 16 points apiece, while Beard added 10. DuPont also had game highs of 10 rebounds and four assists.
Eleven players scored for the Cavs, who were upset by Lake Erie on Saturday.
"It was a tough loss, and we don't like losing," Hardin said. "Us getting a little embarrassed gave us more energy to come back and win this game."

Latest update : 2012-07-25
European powerhouse under threat (part 2)
Eurozone leaders hoping for a summer respite from the debt crisis will be sorely disappointed, amid fresh signs that Greece is unable to pay back its debts, Spanish stocks that continue to slump after borrowing costs hit a new record, and Germany - the sole engine of growth in the eurozone - hit with a warning from the ratings agencies.... So, is Moody's right?

The Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse is being renovated.
If you happen to travel down Old Wilmington Road and notice a number of construction vehicles parked by the Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse, it is because the historic Quaker site is being renovated.
The Meetinghouse, which was built in 1738 and added to the National Register in 1973, has been deteriorating and in badly need of repair.
The Meetinghouse's beautiful fieldstone construction, once covered in white plaster, will remain untouched during renovations.
Peter Franck, who serves as treasurer for the 67-member assembly, said construction commenced in August and should be finished in early spring. "The ceiling was falling down in the social room and things were deteriorating," he said.
The renovations are making room for two handicapped bathrooms, a library area, a kitchen, and a multi-purpose room. The restoration is being paid for through fundraising efforts and donations from members. "We do not have a collection," Franck said.

The sculpt is awsome my only nit pick is that the head looks too big to fit under the offical head (maybe he's engorged with blood) paint that sucker up and show it off in its full gory glory .
Looking good!

"This is a rather shameless promotion"
"Worked on me!"
"Me too!"
That is very awesome, dude. Where can I get one?
WOW way too scary! I love Mosquitor and I was always wondering why everybody talked about the unhelmeted version since I don't have the staction. Yours is really an excellent representation of it! Great work!
That is very cool! And very creepy, lol.

Basketball players like to be on the court and sophomore forward Abbey Schmitt (Winnetka, Ill.) is no different and finally after nearly two years away from the court she's made her return and is lifting the Dartmouth women's basketball team in a big way.
Schmitt had an outstanding junior year at New Trier high school outside of suburban Chicago. The 6-0 forward averaged 17.0 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game and led her team to a 28-4 record. She had numerous accolades to her name including IBCA Class 3A/4A second-team All-State and ESPN All-Area honors. That junior season would be the last time Schmitt saw the court until the spring after her freshman season at Dartmouth.
Schmitt tore her ACL the summer before her senior season and has been working hard to get back to the court ever since. She made her debut in Dartmouth's season-opener at Bryant and posted a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds, becoming the first Big Green player to post a double-double in their collegiate debut since Elise Morrison in 2003-04. Her 14 rebounds were the most for a Dartmouth player since the 2010-11 season.
"That first game back against Bryant was awesome," said Schmitt . " Coming off of nearly two years of injury, I was a little nervous and a little rusty, but I have been working hard and trying to put all my effort into doing the best I can. The double-double was unexpected, but I've really taken a "leave it on the court" mentality because after being out for two years you just never know what's going to happen."
The Bryant game was just a glimpse into Schmitt's potential. So far this season, Schmitt has been as consistent as they come, posting either double figure points or rebounds in each game. She's Dartmouth's second-leading scorer with 11.3 points per game and set a career-high with 18 points against Syracuse on Nov. 29.
Despite a great start to her collegiate career, Schmitt definitely didn't enjoy sitting out her freshman season at Dartmouth.
"Sitting out was hard. I tried to support my team in the best way that I could, but it was a challenge for me not being on the court. I really just wanted to be out on the court more than anything."
Schmitt did take the time away to learn as much of the offense as she could from watching and she was also able to work on basketball skills during that time.
Finally back on the court and starting, Schmitt isn't taking anything for granted.
"This is what I've been working for my whole life, I had to work even harder due to my injury and it's just really great to be back on the court again. I'm loving it."
Dartmouth head coach Chris Wielgus is equally happy to see Schmitt back on the court.
"Abbey has worked so hard to get back and after two years out, it's been great to watch her develop and grow. Her best basketball is ahead of her and we're certainly glad to have her back on the court."
Schmitt has always been a fan of basketball and she definitely got it honest. Her father, Roger, played basketball at Princeton from 1975-79 and started her at a young age with the sport.
"I'm not really sure why I love basketball. I love the feeling of running up and down the court, scoring points and grabbing rebounds. It's just great to be out there. My dad really loves it so he's kind of my inspiration and the reason that I love it too."
Not only does Schmitt love the basketball team, she also loves Dartmouth. Knowing that she wanted to play Ivy League basketball at a young age, Schmitt counts the "warm atmosphere" at Dartmouth as one of her top reasons for heading to Hanover.
" I love the atmosphere of the Dartmouth community. The people here are so friendly and although its an Ivy League school people don't take themselves too seriously and that makes it a great place to be."
Finally off the bench and back on the hardwood Schmitt is enjoying basketball again and looks to lead the Big Green to its 18th Ivy League Championship.
