Pro Skater Mike Vallely Gets Bad Rap

I met Professional Skate Mike V back in 2006 I believe. He had just formed a new band called Revolution Mother and they kicked ass. They were performing in a Norfolk Record Shop called Relativity Records. The concert was awesome and the venue was nice and small...it was literally like watching Metallica perform in a McDonalds....that was how close everybody was! So after the concert I get a chance to pose for pictures, ask him questions and chat about skateboarding and his influence on me back in the 80s when I first saw him in a skate video. It was great and he was a really nice guy interacting with the adults and the children that were there.

So, recently he got in a brawl at an Anaheim Ducks game. From what I saw and read about it, Mike Vallely got a bad rap from this unfortunate event. Pro Hockey player Scott Niedermayer through his stick into the crowd but was trying to get it to Mike V's daughter. Instead some other guy pulls it out of I think Mike V's wife's hand. The camera gets a little wobbly after that so I can't tell who threw the first punch but you can definitely see the other guy throwing punches and Mike retaliating with a barrage of punches. I feel bad for him and I can understand if somebody was trying to take a momento that was intended for your daughter, you might want to punch somebody who tries to swipe it away...especially if they continue to try and take it away. Who knows what words were exchanged behind that glass or what sequence of events happened, but now Mike Vallely no longer blogs for the Anaheim Ducks and they have severed their relationship with Mike V. All because of some jerk trying to take a present away from his daughter that was intended for his daughter. I say way to go Mike V for standing up for your daughter.

Mantle Clocks

Growing up, I don’t remember my parents having a mantle clock, but they did have a grandfather clock and I remember hearing the chimes every hour and whenever I hear a grandfather clock nowadays, it brings back a warm memory of home. We have a clock on our mantle, nothing fancy though…it was a wedding gift from target I think.

I was checking out this website 1-800-4CLOCKS.com that’s all about clocks and one of the mantle clocks caught my eye, it’s a Howard Miller Andrea Mantle Clock. Now this thing is right up my alley. I love the sloped design of the clock. It is very classy looking and it even has an antique brushed brass pendulum like a grandfather clock would have. The clock plays Westminster or Beethoven chimes and features volume control and automatic nighttime chime shut-off option. If I was ever in the market to purchase one, this would be my first choice.

1-800-4CLOCKS.com, where I found that amazing mantle clock, has very competitive prices, in fact, they guarantee the lowest price! They offer multiple payment options such as credit cards, Paypal and Google Checkout. If that wasn’t enough, you get free shipping on any orders over $100. I absolutely love that because there is nothing worse than seeing the price of what you are buying and then when you go to pay and checkout, the price gets bumped up because the online store has to add shipping still. So, be sure to check out 1-800-4CLOCKS.com if you are looking for mantle clocks, grandfather clocks or any other kind of clock.
