Do you want to own a brewery?

Word has it that one important brewery within 30 miles of Cedar Rapids has been quietly put up For Sale. The current owners wish to fully immerse themselves in their latest venture and believe that selling a successful brewery is a way to do this. You will likely need to deal with handing out samples to tourists on a regular basis (oh darn). And you will probably need to keep brewing some of their traditional brews. My understanding is that there is an option on the existing staff as well.

Weird Amazon thing

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this scam and what exactly they trying to get at.

A few weeks ago I had a pending charge posted to my credit card from Amazon. I hadn't ordered anything so I put a track on it to email me as soon as it went final. It went final a few days later and suddenly an amazon box appears with my address and my first name (no last name). In that box, there are 3 things that are probably close to the value of the charge ($35). No receipt and it doesn't show up on my recent amazon order list. I dispute the charge with my credit card and try to figure out how to dispute it with amazon.

Today I get another pending amazon charge ($55). I fully figure a new box will show up sometime this week. I remove my credit card from my Amazon account, change my password (again), and have my credit card company send my a new card with a new number. I fully expect a new box to show up this week though.

So what's the scam here? Are they sending me $10 worth of stuff and pocketing the other $20, hoping I won't notice? Will they eventually stop sending me stuff at all and keep charging? Is there anything else I can do?

How bad are athlete's parents?

Braby, a Mount Ayr volleyball coach, has led her team to three conference championships and in seven years won more games than the previous 10 years combined. But next year, she will be watching from the bleachers.

The reason: pressure from parents.

"I've had a parent send me about 22 emails in one day upset that her student wasn't playing," Braby said.

Recent CyHawk Series Performance

Lately it’s been a rough go for us in the major sports in the rivalry, but saw Keith Murphy’s tweet last night and it was a little eye opening to see written out

What are people’s thoughts on this?What’s been the reason behind this? Outside of wrestling, I wouldn’t consider Iowa light years ahead of us in any of the major sports the past few years.

I'm far from a “we need to beat Iowa every year!!” guy, but you should beat your rival every so often. It’s just weird to me considering the past few years have been generally pretty solid for ISU Athletics, but we can’t get over this rivalry hump.

Now that we've all had a night to sleep on it I wanted to get a feel for where the board is at on Prohm as coach.

Let's keep it much more civil than the game thread. We already have enough to deal with from hawk coworkers, friends, and family today.

Happy thoughts. Its Friday and many of us will be in Orlando in two weeks with a chance at three straight 8 win football seasons.
