Things I liked:I bought this to replace a crosman 1008 RepeatAir that I've had for ~20 years. Paul Capello's review helped me decide. The weight, finish, and balance are excellent. The internals and slide are metal and the grip is plastic. The plastic used is high quality like that used in my P3. There is nothing on this pistol that feels cheap. Even the pellet clips are metal. The co2 clip is easy to load & the drop-out-of-the-grip mechanism is pretty cool. Accuracy is adequate for a co2 repeater. (If I want accuracy I'll use my Beeman P3). I got about 90 rounds from the first co2 cart. (Not rapid continuous firing)
Things I would have changed:The safety. It's on the right side on the gun but not easy to operate with your right hand.
What others should know:The metal clip is a little hard to fully seat RWS hobby pellets into without using a seating tool. The softer Crosman premier 7.9's are easier. If the pellets aren't fully seated in the clips, the revolver mechanism doesn't advance the clip properly and it effectively "jams". When changing the backstrap be careful not to lose the Co2 clip spring. It's a little trickier to change then Capello's video showed. The manual says to use wadcutter or domed pellets. I have an RSW sampler pack. The superdomes, meisterkugeln, hobby and super H points were fine. The super points don't fit in the clip- they're too long.
Things I liked:This bicolor Walther CP99 CO2 pellet pistol is another very good replica by Umarex. While it is not an exact replica, this CP99 with the nickel slide closely resembles the original bicolor Walther P99. With so many airgun pistols being all black, I really like the bicolor appearance of this gun. The CP99 has a very comfortable weight, neither too light or too heavy. The CP99 shoots very easily in both single action and double action modes. When the rear half of the nickel slide is used to cock the pistol, the single action trigger pull is very light and short, and the break point is very crisp. While the double action trigger is a little heavier and longer to the break point, the trigger pull feels very smooth. I also like that the resting trigger position is different in both single action and double action modes. When un-cocked (double action), the bottom of the trigger is directly above the highpoint in the trigger guard. When cocked (single action), the bottom of the trigger is positioned back by the magazine release. The benefit of this feature is that you can tell at a glance whether or not the gun is cocked. The shot accuracy is very good in both single action and double action shooting. After a small windage adjustment, I was able to consistently hit 2 inch shot spots with groupings of less than 1 1/2 inches.
Things I would have changed:Umarex should have put white dots on the sights. I put some pieces of white paper labels on the sights to make them easier to see against dark targets. Although the rear sight is adjustable for windage, the adjustment screws are only accessible from the underside of the rear slide. A small set screw on top of the rear sight would be better. Because the spring on the rear slide is rather strong, Umarex should make the serrations on the rear slide a little more pronounced to improve grip when pulling back on the slide.
What others should know:There's a small screw on the front of the gun below the muzzle that holds the front slide in place. Over time this screw became loose, and the front slide would lock open the next time I opened it to change the magazine. I was able to reclose the slide by first pressing down on the slide release. I then tightened the screw. If you buy this pistol, periodically check the tightness of this screw. These are the pellets I have successfully shot with this pistol: (wadcutters) Crosman Premier Super Match, RWS Meisterkugeln Pistol, RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle, RWS Hobby, RWS R10 Match, RWS Supermag, H&N Sport, H&N Match Pistol, H&N Finale Match Pistol, JSB Match Diabolo Light Weight, (domed) Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum, RWS Superdome, H&N Field Target Trophy, H&N Baracuda, JSB Exact Diabolo, (pointed) Crosman Premier Super Point, RWS Super Point, and H&N Spitzkugel. My shooting tests were performed indoors at 18 feet distance to target from a bench rested position in both single action and double action modes. The smallest single action grouping was 7/8" with both RWS Supermag and H&N Sport. The smallest double action grouping was 5/8" with RWS Meisterkugeln Rifle, RWS Hobby, and Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum. With most of the pellets the double action shot groupings were smaller than the single action shot groupings because I was able to maintain my aim in double action as opposed to breaking my aim to re-cock for each single action shot.
Things I liked:I would like to say that upon receiving the CP99, I was overly impressed. I first said, "Wow" it looks great and very much like the actual P99. Then once I loaded the realistic magazine with the c02, I was like okay-nice...Then I went to my range and sampled it and I fell in love. A great gun!From the single-double shooting options to the laser site addition I love everything! Great Job!!!
Things I would have changed:I wouldn't change anything. Maybe a little lighter trigger action but no big deal to an experienced shooter! This is definitely not a toy and should not be treated as such! I've done laid out squirrels, a racoon and several crows! I can not believe that its only 360fps-seems like much more...
What others should know:I've found out after using several different brands of pellets, that the Gamo PBA gold and the PBA platinum power pellets gave me the deepest penetration and sound off action. I personally think theyre the best and most effective pellets for the CP99

Saudi Arabia was eliminated from Asian qualifying for the 2014 World Cup with a 4-2 loss at Australia on Wednesday, and South Korea, Lebanon and Oman advanced to the final round.
Coached by former Dutch star Frank Rijkaard, the Saudis (1-2-3) dropped behind Oman (2-2-2) into third place in Group D with the defeat at Melbourne.
Salem Al Dawsari put the Saudis ahead in the 19th minute, Alex Brosque tied it in the 43rd and Nasser Al Shamrani gave the visitors a 2-1 lead in first-half stoppage time. The Socceroos (5-1), already assured of one of the 10 berths in the final round, rallied on goals by Harry Kewell in the 73rd, Brosque in the 75th and Brett Emerton in the 76th.
Saudi Arabia played in four straight World Cups from 1994-06, but will miss its third straight.

More on Potter the Stage Production that Might have BeenBooks
The Telegraph has a short article online, with more on a possible Harry Potter stage production that might have been. The paper reports that many years ago, acclaimed theater director and producer Sir Trevor Nunn had expressed an interest in creating a stage production out of the Harry Potter novels, but when he asked, he discovered he was too late as he was told 'Oh if only you had
come to us a few weeks ago. We have just sold the movie rights'," he
harrumphs. "It will be a long time now before anyone is allowed to
stage Harry Potter."
Reflecting now on the possibility of staging such a production, Trevor Nunn continues "The movies are so spectacular – it's a bit like The Lord of the Rings," he says. "Unless you go in the opposite direction and don't go for spectacle, there's no way you can compete."

By LOIS CLERMONT
---- — WILLSBORO — An architect who owns a farm on the Essex-Willsboro line would like to put in a private airstrip.
Daniel Arbour, a Canadian who owns Sunset Farm, recently asked permission from the Willsboro Town Council to start action toward constructing Arbour Airstrip on his property.
His attorney, Matthew Norfolk, said State Department of Transportation approval was needed before they could proceed any further. If that were received, the towns of Willsboro and Essex would be approached for authorization of the airstrip project.
Willsboro Town Supervisor Edward Hatch told the Press-Republican that his town gave Norfolk an OK to approach DOT.
"He (Arbour) has a beautiful farm there, where he does crop farming and raises organic cattle," Hatch said, adding that Arbour wants the airstrip for use of his private, single-engine plane.
But Hatch said that, later, the Adirondack Park Agency rejected the idea, so he isn't sure whether the project would still be pursued.
Also at the recent Town Council meeting, according to the minutes taken by Town Clerk Beverly Moran:
Health services: CEO Rod Boula of Elizabethtown Community Hospital updated the Town Council on the hospital's accomplishments for 2012 and plans for 2013. Hatch asked that the hospital stay in touch about its plans for the Smith House Health Care Center in Willsboro.
Truck: Highway Superintendent Peter Jacques said they need to replace a single-axle truck because he and the mechanic are concerned about its stability. Jacques noted it has been a department need for the last three years. He said roads are getting bigger and requiring larger equipment. Jacques discussed the positives of purchasing a tandem truck.
Highway contract: Hatch asked that two checks that were received from the Essex County Highway Department for the snow-and-ice contract for December 2011 be deposited. The checks, in the amounts of $71,066.44 and $476.19, were inadvertently not deposited when received but have been now, he said.
Hatch told the Press-Republican that the county noticed that the checks had never been cashed and notified the town. The payment has now been received, he said.
Streetlights: Hatch provided a copy of the streetlight inventory to the Town Council, and it is under review by the supervisor and highway superintendent.
Assessments: Hatch said Essex County would like the town to look into having county assessors do Willsboro property assessments. The Town Council will review the correspondence from the county and discuss it further.

Service is wonderful, food is beyond great, and the activities keep us busy when we were not ashore.
We had a cabana on Half Moon Cay and added a butler. What fun to be pampered all day long. Our butler was getting us pina colads two at a time and we had a special lunch of barbecued prawns, fruit, and rice. Chips and dips and soda and water and fruit were all included.
Cayman was a good stop, Mahogany Bay and Costa Maya OK if you like water sports but not much else to do there. If anything could be improved it would be the nightly shows. Not up to some of the larger cruise ships. We even skipped a few of them.
We enjoyed dinner at the Pinnacle Room twice, and at Tamarind once for lunch, again worth the extra charge. Holland America is booked by more age 50+ cruisers and the dinner table was always friendly, we met new people each night because we selected "as you wish" dining. Can't wait till our next HAL cruise.

Krasnaya Polyana, Russia (SportsNetwork.com) - Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch successfully defended her gold medal in the women's super combined Monday at the Sochi Olympics, while Julia Mancuso claimed bronze for the United States.
Hoefl-Riesch was fifth after the downhill at Rosa Khutor Alpine Center but made up the deficit in the slalom. She posted the third-best slalom split and finished with a total time of 2 minutes, 34.62 seconds.
The German now has three Olympic medals -- all gold. Hoefl-Riesch won the super combined and slalom event four years ago.
Austria's Nicole Hosp, eighth after the downhill, won silver and finished .40 seconds behind Hoefl-Riesch.
Mancuso, who finished second to Hoefl-Riesch in 2010, grabbed the early lead with a terrific downhill run and did just enough in the slalom to earn her fourth Olympic medal, tops all-time for American women in alpine skiing.
The 29-year-old American carried a lead of .47 seconds into the slalom and finished the combined with a time of 2:35.15. She was just .10 seconds ahead of Slovenia's Tina Maze.
"I knew I just had to give my best shot and it sure didn't feel good," Mancuso said of the slalom. "I definitely had moments in my mind where I was thinking, 'This is not going to be good enough but keep fighting.' I knew where to let it run on that last pitch and surprise! I looked up and got a medal."
Mancuso has won at least one medal in the last three Winter Olympics. She won the giant slalom at the Turin Olympics in 2006 and added a downhill silver four years later.
Her four-medal haul is tied for second place all-time among American women at the Winter Games behind only speedskater Bonnie Blair's six.
"I just love being here at the Olympics," she said. "It's so much fun and I get really energized. I got a lot of energy from watching the men's race yesterday, and it was just a perfect example of what I always think: anything is possible at the Olympics, you can never count anyone out and you always have to just do your best."
Laurenne Ross and Stacey Cook of the U.S. were both eliminated after failing to complete the downhill course. American Leanne Smith was 20th after the downhill, but was disqualified after missing a gate in the slalom.
Canada's Marie-Michele Gagnon was 21st after downhill but failed to complete her slalom run.

2013 CB Rashard Robinson Commits!
Breaking news: Florida CB Rashard Robinson has committed to #LSU. That's 22 commitments for the 2013 class.— Shea Dixon (@Sheadixon) July 31, 2012
This isn't much of a surprise to those who have followed closely. Robinson earned an offer in April, camped here a couple weeks ago and was back on campus for an unofficial visit today and couldn't resist pulling the trigger. He's listed at 6'2", 163, so a tall, lean corner. He's got elite make-up speed and a fly haircut. Fits the mold of the type of outside CB we typically covet. Really like his ability to turn and run. Not afraid to tackle, but not a hitter either. He's a true cover guy. Super long armed. Reminds me, physically, of Tharold Simon. Goes to the same high school as Patrick Peterson and younger brother Avery Johnson attended. Really nice pickup. That brings the class to 22. Only 3 spots left to fill and there are some big names left on the board. The Robinson commitment does make you wonder where we stand with Priest Willis, who is amongst the best CB prospects in this year's class.

The most popular member of the Milwaukee Brewers at spring training is an unexpected acquisition with a button nose, four legs and scruffy, white fur.
"Hank the Dog" is an early lock for camp MVP -- Most Valuable Pet.
The pooch strayed on to the team's complex a week ago. Employees took him to a veterinarian to get him cleaned and checked out. The vet thinks Hank may have been hit by a car after coming in with an injured tail.
Hank was named for Hank Aaron, who began his Hall of Fame career in Milwaukee.
The dog plays in the clubhouse and on the diamonds. The team says it will adopt Hank and take him to Milwaukee if the local owner isn't found.
A vet estimates Hank is about 2 years old. No word on what breed Hank is, but he looks like a bichon frise mix.

"I'm not privy to court settlements," Browning said. "I've never been called to trial. I've never been told the fire marshal's office did anything wrong. I can't affect what happens in court settlements and conversations between lawyers."
While Browning brushed aside the settlement and dismissed his critics, he did say ride inspections are now more effective. He said that when state inspectors check carnival rides, they are now required to ask the operators if any mechanical modifications have been made.
"I can tell you that we have taken that investigation very seriously and when it was brought to our attention by the inspector general that they were looking into it, we immediately re-evaluated everything in that case and we've taken action," Browning said.

Bottled on:
Pours like a porter! Held up to light, black with ruby highltights of the light bulbs. Two-finger head after a vigorous pour with decent lacing. Smell of smoke and smoked malt.
Taste is strong smoke, and spicy peppers like a chipotle or chilie. Interesting flavor blend with chocolate and roasted malts. One of the better offerings from Left Hand. Can't wait to try some more off-beat things from them.

A - Pours dark brown with one finger of tan head. Head doesn't last long and leaves minimal lacing.
S - Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts and coffee. Bit of a sweet cream aroma as well.
T - Coffee more prevalent here than in the aroma. Actually drinks a bit like a coffee milk stout. After the initial coffee with cream taste,, more roasted malts and chocolate come through, with a nice subtle pepper bite coming in near the finish.
M - Medium mouthfeel that is quite creamy. Finish is a bit more dry and roasty.
O - This is an enjoyable beer that uses the pepper component wisely, adding just a touch of heat without being distracting.

Growler filled at the Green Growler Grocery in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
Pour is very dark amber, long lasting dark mocha head, and leaving dense low sheeting, bits and some larger strands and blobs of lacing here and there.
Moderate nose of chilis, with some dark chocolate mixed in.
Flavorful porter with ample chili notes and character. More then a hint of chili heat and flavor hitting me in the back of the throat. Quite enjoyable for a chili head such as myself. Nice dark chocolate, and smoke notes as well.
Complex and well crafted with multiple flavors combining nicely.
I'll be on the lookout for bottles of this one. Chili heads unite and go get some of this one.

The beer pours a very dark brown to black color with a very small tan head. The aroma is classic porter with a lot of chocolate and roasted malt notes. I also get a hint of smoke in the aroma. The flavor is more of the same. There is a ton of chocolate in the flavor, as well as some roasted and nearly burnt malt. There is a little bit of heat from the peppers as the beer is swallowed and some earthy pepper notes in the flavor as well. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Near-black ruby with thin tan head and minimal lacing.
Smell: Chocolate and molasses, with a touch of smoke. Expected a little more in the aroma department.
Taste: Smoky and roasted, with char, chocolate, molasses and coffee. The peppers are noticeable in the finish, proving a long, spicy, hot aftertaste. Other than the peppery finish, this is a fairly subtle and mild beer.
Feel: Creamy and full-bodied. Moderately low carbonation. Finish is mostly dry with some very light heat.
Overall: Nice Smoked Porter with the peppers providing a slight kick. Well balanced overall, and nothing is overdone. I wish I had tried the first two Fade to Black beers.

Dark opaque body with a light tan head with fine speckled lacing. Aroma has an earthy chile pepper noted about amongst the dark malts. Flavor has the dark roasted malt sweetness with a perfect amount of heat coming from the peppers even a hint of smokiness a really creative interesting take on the porter style. Fade to Black has been an excellent by the six pack specialty release series so far. Mouthfeel is medium to fuller bodied dry spicy finish with some linger heat that warms the belly quite a bit. Overall an enjoyable pepper/chile beer that caught me by surprise I didn't inspect the neck label to determine what style this beer was so it was a surprise with my first sip to catch the heat.

Very fresh (tto fresh?) bottle produced 22 Sept. 11.
Appearance: Nearly black with red-brown highlights at the edges and a tan head,. Decent retention and fairly good lacing.
Smell: dark roasted malts; smokey with subtle hint of chile pepper. Surprisingly sweet and floral/fruity. Quite complex. ABV rather apparent.
Taste - roasted malts and a moderate dose of chile pepper: enough to produce a clear flavor contribution and some heat (just short of a burn). Some coffee and smoke in the lasting, but not especially enjoyable, finish.
Mouthfeel - a bit thin; heat from the chilies. Good carbonation excepting it makes the body feel lighter than it would with less carbonation.
O - certainly has character and complexity. Enough chile to put off some tasters, no doubt, but I found the combination interesting and enjoyed the added dynamics. Still, the taste got old, partly due to the smokiness, before the bottle was done.

A- Dark brown, a bit translucent against a light.
S- A bit shy on the nose. Some smoke and roasted aromatics.
T- If you like smokey flavor, this is the beer for you. An interesting component, but at the expense of everything else, not so much.
M- Medium bodied and a bit thin for porter. High carbonation. Nothing special.
O- A decent porter, but not my favorite left hand offering. Would drink one if poured, but would not seek out in the future.

The blackest shade of brown possible, inky with light barely penetrating the edges. The head is no more than a slumped shoulder of tan, and where it sticks around in stunted form it leaves a few streaks of lace.
Raisins-in-dark chocolate nose, augmented with earthy, herbal cigar smoke, liquorice, vanilla pod, Port, and burnt autumn leaves. The pepperedness is hinted at, but not expressed forthright. It smells delicious, regardless.
It rolls past the teeth with milk chocolate and raisin notes. The chocolate fortifies and migrates darker. Cocoa nibs show incredible legs and last long past the swallow. It cycles past burnt toast and espresso, with wafts of campfire and cigar smokiness, along with the meatiness of grill scrapings. For a while, this suggests Vol.2 with its smokiness, though I don't believe it's from the malt. The culprit arises as the distinct smoked bite of chipotle materializes. The heat, subdued and smoky initially, builds towards the potent seeds and chile oil and lingers past each gulp. A subdued Port sweetness adds a countpoint on the close.
Medium bodied, inching fuller as its nearly still in carbonation. It actually works well here, giving a cask-type feel, and letting the malt and the smoky heat play off each other.
This is a stunner. A girthy porter with a weighty addition of pepper seems like an overreach, but there's either a deft balance or a harmonious overload of both here.
My feelings on Left Hand are generally lukewarm, but the Fade to Black series has established itself as something I eagerly look forward to every year. This is its most idiosyncratic yet, and probably its best.

"I was disappointed that I could not resize the inside photo once I put it into place. Your sizing was to a definite width that was a difficult ratio for my photo. I requested expedited shipping and 1/2 the order arrived late."
"I have received nothing but compliments on my holiday card! The paper quality is thick and sturdy and the pictures were printed perfectly. Although there was an unexpected delay in shipping, I was very happy with my purchase."
"These are the best Christmas cards we've ever ordered. LOVE them and so delighted by the incredible quality. The paper stock is thick and feels extravagant, the photo quality is amazing, and I loved all the options for photos inside the card and on the back. AWESOME!"
"This card looked nice online and is even better in hand! Nice quality paper and our photo image looked great. One of my favorite cards ever!"
"I took a fun approach when interpreting this design. I had photos of my daughter crying through the photo shoot on the front of the card, and used the caption "oh what pain!" on the inside. I added six of the best photos of my three kids being silly and two of the nice portraits on the back. My only negative would be that the back of the card should have some of the design elements from the front of the card, instead of plain white."

1. The fourth quarter (of the season) is here, and that must mean it's Tebow Time. But you'll have to wait for that. Right now, there is a big game looming in the NFC East. And though it has been a down season in the division, the Giants head to Dallas to face the Cowboys with a home playoff game on the line. Although they have lost four straight and appear to be sitting on the playoff Mendoza Line at 6-6, the Giants actually control their own fate in the division (which is code for they have to win pretty much all their remaining games). They also come into this game with more confidence following their toe-to-toe loss to the unbeaten Packers. QB Eli Manning has been consistently great this season, but he hasn't always had help. Sunday there were subtle indications that help might be on the way. The offensive line, though shuffled, played well against the Packers. The run game returned. The front four generated a lot of pressure. Yes, the back seven could use some improvement, especially facing that Cowboys passing game Sunday night. But this Giants team is dangerous now, just warning you.
2. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is being flambéed by the media for his kicker-icing maneuver at the end of regulation Sunday in what would become an OT loss to the Cardinals. (So much for road-field advantage; despite the crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium being decidedly pro-Cowboys, it was their third straight loss there.) But that was not Garrett's most egregious coaching decision. It was the handling of the play prior, running the clock down once the Cowboys hit the 30-yard line instead of running another play or two (with two timeouts in his pocket) and angling for better field position. Garrett similarly mishandled the end of the loss to the Patriots, giving Tom Brady way too much time to steal victory from the jaws of defeat, and Jerry Jones most certainly took notice and aired his displeasure after the game. Don't be shocked if Garrett and Jones have a little chat this week (if they have not already) that could affect the coach's strategy coming into this crucial battle. The Giants might be called out for giving Aaron Rodgers just under a minute to win it, but come on: As Tom Coughlin said, the Giants were desperately trying to score there and had to get a TD (and two-point conversion) to tie.
3. The Titans are a mystery outfit, but we know this much: Two games is a trend for Chris Johnson, and he's back in the saddle. He looks decisive and explosive again, and it's hard to say why. The Titans don't do anything spectacularly — other than Johnson, who is hitting his stride with 190 and 153 rush yards the past two games — but they have rode a formula of avoiding turnovers, protecting Matt Hasselbeck and gaining the hidden yards on special teams. They also have feisty defensive backs who should be an excellent match for the Saints and a potentially fascinating matchup for Saints TE Jimmy Graham. Two weeks ago, the Titans dropped rookie MLB Colin McCarthy in the deep middle of their Tampa-2 defense and asked him to take away Buccaneers TE Kellen Winslow in the middle of the field. Winslow was held to five relatively harmless catches a week after shredding the Packers and McCarthy stepped in front of Winslow for a game-changing fourth-quarter interception. McCarthy, who had another fantastic game Sunday against the Bills, has stepped in for Barrett Ruud and done a fantastic job aside fellow rookie LB Akeem Ayers. This will be their biggest game together yet and a whole different kind of animal, chasing Graham and RB Darren Sproles all over the place.
4. The Saints are very much an open book, a team that tries to out-sling opponents offensively early and wait for the odd big play on defense. If not for Aaron Rodgers, we might be calling Drew Brees the league's MVP. He is on pace to pass Dan Marino's all-time mark of 5,084 yards, a mark he came 15 yards short of matching in 2008, and is the first QB to hit the 4,000-yard mark through 12 games. Amazing. Interestingly, Brees has only started two career games against the Titans, and the last time was in 2007, which was not a memorable game: his only zero-TD, four-INT game at the Superdome ever. (The only team he has faced fewer times in his career? Why the Saints, of course, with one matchup when he was a Charger.) But this game is in Nashville, and Brees has six interceptions in his last three outdoor games this season. They can clinch the NFC South with a win and a Falcons loss, but this might be the classic trap game, with the white-hot Saints coming off wins over the Falcons, Giants and Lions perhaps overlooking the sneaky-good Titans on their field. Except that they appear to have the attention of Saints head coach Sean Payton. "There are two things that you would look at immediately: It's a team that's quietly gone under the radar and is playing good football, and I think in league circles we would recognize it, look at the tape and see that these guys have won a lot of football games and there's been a formula, and certainly (Titans head coach) Mike (Munchak) has certainly embraced being steady on defense and having that balance offensively. ... (We're) transitioning to the cleats (grass field), to the elements (outdoors), to a different team in the AFC, a team that's playing well."
5. The Packers can breathe. They survived the ringer, one of the few tests remaining and now they really are on pace to finish the regular season 16-0 with the Raiders on deck. Right? Well, this is a leap of faith, but don't assume a walk to victory. Yes, Aaron Rodgers probably can spin the Raiders' secondary around on his finger if he wants to, but the Raiders' defensive line is another story. Sunday against the Dolphins was not a great game for the unit, and Richard Seymour was tossed from the game for tossing a punch, but the Packers had trouble blocking a similarly talented Giants front four with that group applying a heavy rush without the aid of a lot of blitzing. Don't be shocked if the game gets a little unruly, and like Saints-Titans, you also have the situation of unfamiliarity. The Raiders and Packers have not met since 2007, when Ryan Grant and Brett Favre (who might be a Bear?) torched Lane Kiffin's Raiders, who were quarterbacked by Josh McCown (who is a Bear), in a 38-7 game. So yeah, things have changed a bit.
6. The Raiders looked tired Sunday and maybe distracted from the Rolando McClain arrest. They faced a buzzsaw of a Dolphins team and now find themselves tied with the Mighty Tebows for first place in the West. And you know who the public is backing in that race. Maybe the pressure is getting to Hue Jackson's team; or maybe it's health, too. The run game has stalled as Michael Bush's workload (84 carries in the three games prior to the Dolphins game) has increased. The Dolphins held them to 46 rushing yards on 14 carries a week after the Bears held them to 73 rushing yards on 27 carries. But Sunday could represent the return of RB Darren McFadden, and he could be a difference maker. The Packers have lived dangerously all season with a defense that ranks 29th in yards per rush allowed and 31st in yards per pass allowed. At some point, it will catch up to them. The Raiders are still not completely healthy at wideout, but the Packers could be without CB Charles Woodson (concussion) against his old team. It would be the upset of the century, but don't be shocked if the Raiders give the Packers a serious run, leading to questions about the vulnerability of this team in the postseason.
7. The Bengals have been a terrific story this season, but you have to wonder whether they are toast. Marvin Lewis has a tricky balancing act here, not wanting to be too tough on his young squad, which was crushed by the Steelers for their third loss in four games, but also keeping the whip tightly gripped as a playoff bid hangs in the balance. His offense, which has slipped to the bottom half of the league in points and yards, now must face another huge challenge. The Texans feature the second-ranked (in points and yards allowed) defense in the NFL and one that completely befuddled Matt Ryan at times Sunday. Andy Dalton's play has leveled off a bit lately, and Sunday against the Steelers he appeared too dialed in on fellow rookie A.J. Green at times. And guess who is likely to cover Green? Old friend CB Johnathan Joseph, who has been a terrific signing for the Texans after defecting from the Bengals in the offseason. Of course, Green is a rookie; he doesn't know Joseph from Adam.
8. The Texans know they are in uncharted waters. They know they have never made the playoffs. They know they have tied their franchise's single-season win record with nine. They know that a Titans loss this week and a win over the Bengals gives them their first division crown. And they also know how unlikely a postseason run would be with T.J. Yates, the newest Lone Star star. Yates isn't at Tim Tebow levels of hype yet, and even getting there would be quite the story. But if he can lead this team into the postseason and make some hay, it would be just as outstanding as it would unlikely. And there's a terrific little irony going on with him: In Yates' first start, the Texans called for a number of passes downfield. Coming out of North Carolina (he's the first Tar Heels QB to start a game in the NFL, by the way), the knock on Yates was his accuracy past 15 yards. But he appeared at least far more willing to look downfield than the man he replaced, Matt Leinart, who was a checkdown specialist in his brief relief appearance before getting hurt. Yates hit Andre Johnson on a gorgeous 50-yard throw, another 22-yarder downfield and threw a 30-yard strike that hit Johnson on the hands 30 yards from the line of scrimmage. Of course, Yates was saved by a penalty on a pick-six and he could be facing the Bengals without Johnson, who now has two tender hamstrings. If he wins Sunday without him, Yates would deserve a little of that Tebow-esque love.
9. Thursday football. Woot. Browns-Steelers. The Browns were really awful Sunday, and stone-faced head coach Pat Shurmur looked really beaten down for the first time this season. It was bad. The Steelers, meanwhile, took the Bengals to the woodshed. All signs point to Blowout City at Heinz Field. The Browns' defense has kept the team close in some games this season, but Sunday's 290-yard allowance on the ground to the Ravens proved that this is far from a top-shelf group. Don't get fooled into thinking the Browns are a great pass-defending team, as their No. 1 ranking in that department and Joe Flacco's 10 complete passes Sunday might suggest. Really, teams have had such success running the ball on them this season (31st in rush yards allowed) that most quarterbacks have barely had to strain their arms. Look for the Steelers to try to crank up the run in this game, too, and they can clinch a playoff spot by winning and getting outside help.
10. The Dolphins and Eagles are identical in record at 4-8, but you would be hard-pressed to find two teams heading in more opposite directions. On Halloween, the Dolphins lost a game they led at the Giants to fall to 0-7 and the Eagles roasted the Cowboys 34-7 and appeared to be making their move at 3-4 after slow-playing it to start the season. A few funny things happened along the way. The Dolphins miraculously have won four of five games and the Eagles, in equally stunning fashion, have dropped four of five. The Dolphins are having fun but probably still won't save their coach's job. The Eagles look absolutely miserable right now, like they want this nightmare to end, and their coach probably will keep his job. What in the world is going on here? Sunday's matchup in Miami has to have the Dolphins as the favorite based on their recent play, even if Michael Vick (ribs) returns to the lineup as expected. Matt Moore has been terrific for the Dolphins and it would be the seventh time in his past 16 NFL starts dating back to 2009 season, when he was with Carolina, that the former undrafted free agent has faced a No. 1 overall pick at quarterback (including Eli Manning three times) if Vick plays.
11. If the Panthers are this year's version of the 2010 Lions — losers of 10 of 12 to start the season before winning their final four games — then the Falcons might be in trouble Sunday. The Falcons came into Week 13 with the sixth-ranked run defense, but it was ground up a bit in the second half by the Texans, who ran for 106 yards after halftime and the game-winning TD. Overall, the Falcons just looked sloppy and saw some of their best players fall flat. Now, the Panthers are not a perfect outfit, by any means, full of defensive and special-teams holes. But Cam Newton showed Sunday against the Bucs that he can take over a game, and you know that throwing a late pick against the Falcons (his favorite team growing up) in Atlanta (his hometown, with many friends and family in attendance) had to hurt. Like his pitch-and-catch partner, Steve Smith, Newton has a good memory and failure motivate them both equally. The Panthers have a balanced passing and running attack these days and will leave nothing in the cupboard as they try to upset the teetering Falcons as they fight for a playoff spot. After all, look at the teams the Lions beat down the stretch last season: the Packers (eventual Super Bowl champs), the Bucs (a 10-6 team that fell one game short of the playoffs) in Tampa, the Dolphins (knocking them out of the playoffs) in Miami, and the Vikings. A Panthers victory Sunday would kick-start their final quartet, which is equally as daunting with games against the Falcons, Texans, Bucs and Saints.
12. The Jaguars are Grim Reapers these days. Two weeks ago, they played the Texans and knocked out Matt Leinart before his season ever really began. The next day, the coach was hacked and the team was sold. Then Monday, they lost to the Chargers, who might lose their own coach at season's end. And Sunday, they face the flagging Buccaneers, whose ship might be sinking with ankle-deep water rising quickly around Raheem Morris. The NFL's youngest head coach did not mince words on the sidelines with DT Brian Price, sending him home during the game, or with the media afterwards, selecting some choice words when being asked if he disciplined Price. Josh Freeman's gun-accident thumb injury and his major step backwards this season, development-wise, have led some people to suggest that the franchise put too much in his hands this season, and not just on the field. Whether he plays Sunday is not known now, but Freeman said Monday he's optimistic he'll play against the Jags. As for their quarterback, Blaine Gabbert, it hasn't been the banner rookie season he hoped. But a few big games from him down the stretch and interim head coach Mel Tucker (0-1 after Monday's home thrashing) might be able to keep this job for next season.
13. OK, now it's Tebow Time. Sorry you had to wait this long, but Tebow fans are used to waiting three quarters before he sprinkles his magic dust, so it's par for the course. He's in an ideal situation, returning home against the Bears, who have a real QB doozy on their hands with Caleb Hanie fluttering and rumors of Donovan McNabb and Brett Favre floating around Chicago. Whether they are true or not is almost immaterial; clearly, there is little trust in Jay Cutler's replacement at this point, and it would be tough to imagine the Bears being dynamic offensively without RB Matt Forté, who is out with a sprained MCL. You have to think this is one the Bears' defense and special teams must rescue, and that would mean (in part, anyway) stopping Tebow, for four quarters. Here's Bears head coach Lovie Smith on the Wonder Boy: "This is option football. Our defense is based on (stopping) sound, option principles. But we don't have a lot of our option responsibilities ironed out each week. So this is forcing a lot of teams in the league to be sound in all of those things. But our defense is set up to play this type of offense. They have a unique athlete at quarterback who can really run over you and throw the ball. He poses a lot of different problems. There will be some challenges with this offense."
14. Perhaps inspired by Tebow, we might see some option/Wildcat in Jets-Chiefs. Jets RB Shonn Greene ran some Sunday against the Redskins — Rex Ryan's idea, he said — and scored a nine-yard TD with it. Javier Arenas and Jerheme Urban have been the point men for the Chiefs on the direct snap stuff this season, and they have been more willing to break it out with Matt Cassel out and Tyler Palko in. This is a game that Jets QB Mark Sanchez needs to show he can play four good quarters. He needs the confidence. Sanchez had a fairly clean sheet against the Redskins with his first turnover-free game since Week Six and back-to-back sack-free games after being taken down a combined eight times in losses to the Patriots and Broncos. But beware of the Chiefs' suddenly emerging pass rush. After nine sacks in the first nine games, Romeo Crennel's group has rattled off 11 takedowns the past three, including seven Sunday against the Bears. Go back and watch the first half of the loss to the Patriots in Week 11, and you'll see an aggressive front that had Tom Brady rattled. The Jets would be wise to use extra pass protectors and give their quarterback a chance to throw.
15. The final game of the week is not a doozy. We could be treated to a "Manic Monday" matchup of Tarvaris Jackson vs. Tom Brandstater. The latter is who the Rams are down to with Sam Bradford dealing with a high ankle sprain and A.J. Feeley having suffered a broken thumb. With Feeley leading the charge Sunday against the 49ers, the Rams were blanked, held to 157 yards of offense and never moved the ball past the San Fran 35-yard line. Gack. The Seahawks, meanwhile, earned a nice little victory last Thursday over the 4-8 Eagles, and Pete Carroll said this week that Jackson is as healthy has he has been since suffering a pectoral injury in Week Five. On top of that, Marshawn Lynch is entering Beast Mode again and he's facing a Rams defense that has allowed four teams to rush for more than 196 yards this season, including career-best games for Beanie Wells and DeMarco Murray, the eighth- and 11th-leading rushers in the NFL. Lynch ranks 13th. Fantasy owners alert: Lynch might have a decent game Monday night. Is that priceless lineup advice or what?

Women's Soccer Faces Road Test in Exhibition Match
Follow @JU_WSOC
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville University women's soccer team – picked second in the Atlantic Sun Preseason Coaches' Poll – will get an early glance at the year ahead when the Dolphins travel to take on Valdosta State this Friday at 5 p.m for an exhibition match. Returning 14 letterwinners off of the 2012 squad that advanced to the semifinals of the A-Sun Tournament, the Dolphins will try to use that familiarity to their advantage as they take on the Blazers, who qualified for the NCAA Division II National Tournament last season in just their second year as a program.
With Friday's match not counting in the standings, it will give both teams the luxury of trying out some different things as they prepare for what they hope will be successful 2013 campaigns.
JU's regular season begins next weekend with a pair of home matches at Southern Oak Stadium. On Aug. 23, Flagler pays a visit for a 7 p.m. match in the season opener. On Aug. 25, the Dolphins will be tested by Miami – a NCAA Tournament qualifier a year ago – in a 2 p.m. first kick.

As this first single-digit decade of the 21st century draws to a muted close, how do we begin to tie a bow around it? What has it been? What has it meant?
The first thought which comes to mind is that it may be the first decade to take away more than it gave back, considering the vast number of luminaries who have passed. This year alone: John Updike, Alain Robbe-Grillet, J.G. Ballard, James Purdy, Philip Jose Farmer in literature; Michael Jackson, Ron Asheton, Lux Interior, Bud Shank in music; Walter Cronkite, Don Hewitt and Paul Harvey in broadcasting; Patrick McGoohan, Gianna Maria Canale, Paul Naschy, Harryhausen producer Charles H. Schneer, Harry Alan Towers, composer Maurice Jarre, Ray Dennis Steckler and critic Robin Wood in film. This is not your standard obituary listing; it is a hemorrhage -- nay, an exodus.
In past decades, art has always been regenerated, but now, with the arts slowly perishing through a combination of factors -- lack of support, rampant remake-iana, inability to compete with the internet's onslaught of trivial communication and free access -- it seems that the gratification of soul that is the dividend of real art is vanishing from the bottom up, as death scythes the cream off the top.
For me, this past decade has been like an extended "time out" to explore work from previous decades that either got past my radar earlier, or was not previously available, or was not previously subtitled or translated, or needed to be re-read. I can remember joking during the '80s that everything needed to be put on pause so we could all catch up, and that pretty much happened. Here are some of the offerings this past decade that were especially meaningful to me...
Novels: Robbe-Grillet's REPETITION, Nabokov's THE ORIGINAL OF LAURA, Ballard's SUPER-CANNES, Theroux's LAURA WARHOLIC OR THE SEXUAL INTELLECTUAL, Pynchon's AGAINST THE DAY -- but the most meaningful, for me, aside from the one I wrote (THE BOOK OF RENFIELD), was GLIMPSES by Lewis Shiner, published in 2001. Honorable mention, if I may, for the completion of my 32-year project: MARIO BAVA ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK.
Films: Terry Zwigoff's GHOST WORLD, Charlie Kaufman's SYNECDOCHE NEW YORK, Lech Majewski's shot-on-video THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS, Jonathan Weiss' searing film of Ballard's THE ATROCITY EXHIBITION, Wong Kar-wai's 2046, Terence Malick's THE NEW WORLD, Guillermo del Toro's PAN'S LABYRINTH, Tomas Alfredson's LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.
Some other 00's movies I loved or admired: MULHOLLAND DR., SIDEWAYS, LOST IN TRANSLATION, ONCE, LUST: CAUTION, ALMOST FAMOUS -- also THE DIRT, the short film starring Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni, her best work to date. ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL continues to taunt me, such a near-miss.
Movies I saw this year for the first time that left a lasting impression: CHILDREN OF PARADISE (why did I wait so long?), FORBIDDEN GAMES, Robbe-Grillet's THE MAN WHO LIES, Frankenheimer's GRAND PRIX, Michael Blake's shot-on-video LAUGHING HORSE (an oddball, baffling showcase for the beauty of Irene Miracle, in her most enigmatic role), and the work of Myriem Roussel.
Music: For me, this decade was almost entirely retrospective in a musical sense. The completion and release of Brian Wilson's SMILE (a musical milestone yet somehow more tantalizing as uncoalesced puzzle pieces), DigitMovies' liberation of countless great Euro soundtracks from the CAM vaults, the Beatles and Stones remasters, some great Miles and Coltrane box sets, King Crimson and Pixies in 5.1 sound, the three-disc VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY set. But what made the most difference to me was my own postponed, deep-dish discovery of Françoise Hardy, who did record several fine albums this decade. None meant quite as much to me as my belated discovery of her 1971 and 1996 releases, LA QUESTION and LE DANGER. I recommend the five-disc set 100 CHANSONS as the best starting point, if you can find it; it's the only place you can be exposed to all her facets.

Why Now?
As automakers retrench, they're discontinuing certain makes and models of cars. Discounts on those cars can be considerable, says Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends at Truecar.com. For example, you can get Pontiac and Saturn vehicles for at least 20 percent off the sticker price. And because all automakers continue to have trouble moving inventory, even popular models can be cheaper right now.
How to Get the Most for Your Money
Nab incentives and rebates. For example, Hyundai is offering rebates of up to $3,000 depending on the model. Right now GM is extending 0 percent financing for four years on select models and up to six years for Pontiacs; Ford is offering 0 percent financing and up to $1,000 cash back. Check out Edmunds.com and Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) for incentive and rebate data. You should also take tax breaks before it's too late. Most taxpayers can deduct 2009 state and local sales tax and excise tax on new car purchases, courtesy of the stimulus program. This amounts to a few thousand dollars of deductions for the typical family buying a $30,000 car. Go to irs.gov for more information.

The Tsunami Experience
Here's what tsunamis are like. . .
You're sitting in your seaside house and you notice that the surf sounds different. You look out and see that the water has receded, as if the tide had pulled out in a hurry. The sea stays low for several minutes.
If you don't know about tsunamis, you stand and stare, or you ignore it and go back to your business. If you don't know better, you might even go down to the shore and start poking around the exposed seafloor with its stranded fish. Then the sea rises, as quickly and quietly as it left—then it keeps on rising, higher than you've ever seen it go. The sea grows louder and outruns you, catches your ankles, knocks you down, and smashes you against trees and rocks and buildings as you drown in its muddy, turbulent flow.
If you're smart, you start running for high ground immediately, and with luck you may survive. You may watch this flood come and go several times over the course of a few hours. With some tsunamis the water doesn't recede first, and that funny-sounding surf is the sea rising around your house without warning.
Tsunami Lessons from History
The last significant tsunami before 2004's was in June 1998, in New Guinea. The last time a major disaster like Sumatra's happened was on 23 May 1960, when tsunamis triggered by the great Chile earthquake struck Hawaii. I was a little kid at that time, and thanks to the news reports I've never forgotten the hazard that tidal waves present. But a few billion people born since then had not had their awareness raised, until 26 December 2004. That awareness could mean your life.
The Web has a lot of sites with tsunami information. I've got a tsunami list with the best of them. But I think the Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hilo, Hawaii, is special because it has a human face and a human basis.
Hilo was heavily damaged by tsunamis in April 1946 and again in May 1960, so tsunamis are on Hiloans' minds more than for the average Hawaiian. Even so, as the years passed people who remembered began to die and new residents came who didn't take the threat as seriously, and in 1994 the museum was founded to help keep the population prepared and alert. It takes that extra effort to mobilize people against something they haven't seen.
On November 26, 1999, such efforts paid off for the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. A magnitude-7 quake struck late that night, and a tsunami completely wiped out the village of Baie Martelli. But only five lives were lost. A research team reported a month later in Eos:
"The small number of casualties was due to prior education and a party. Because of a wedding on the day of the earthquake, most everyone was still up celebrating when the earthquake occurred. A lookout was sent to note the condition of the sea. When he reported that the water was receding, villagers concluded that a tsunami was coming, and they ran to a nearby hillside to escape the wave. Villagers credited their response to a video of the 1998 Papua New Guinea tsunami, which they had seen a few months before. The only casualties were those too elderly to escape the wave, those who returned for possessions after the passage of the first wave, and a man so drunk on kava that he ignored people who were directing him to safety."
Tsunami researcher Andy Moore has photos taken after the Baie Martelli tsunami.
Are Tsunamis "Tidal Waves"?
That slow rise and fall of a tsunami, too slow to be an ordinary wave but eerily fast for a tide, is what gives it the common name "tidal wave." Scientists don't use the term, and neither do mariners—geologists say a tidal wave means the tide itself, and sailors say it means any big surge, such as a storm surge—but I think the rest of us can call tsunamis tidal waves without confusion.
Besides, scientists have their own blinders. Many think of tsunamis as caused strictly by earthquakes, or underwater volcanic eruptions or seafloor landslides. They even call them "seismic sea waves." But in fact the most significant kind of tsunamis, for the geologist, are created not by quakes or any earthly process but by cosmic impacts. Earthquakes cannot be bigger than about magnitude 9.5, as I explained in another article, but comet and asteroid impacts have no such limit at all.
Tsunamis in Geologic Time
Impacts that could unleash large tsunamis onto the whole shoreline of the Pacific Ocean occur, on average, once in 1,000 years. Over geologic time, events of that frequency leave traces in sedimentary rocks. Geologists ought to be looking for those traces, but they too can find it hard to keep in mind something they haven't seen. Since Sumatra, we have been seeing tsunami deposits elsewhere, for instance on the Mediterranean island of Crete, where recent research points to a tsunami as part of ancient Cretan civilization's downfall.
One recent effort at finding traces of impact tsunamis used Google Earth, a seductive free application that lets you "fly" all over the world. Researchers reported suggestive features around the shores of the Indian Ocean—enormous dune fields in southern Madagascar and Australia, dubbed "chevrons," that they attributed to a recent impact in the Southern Ocean. But when tsunami experts used a computer model to simulate impact tsunamis, they couldn't reproduce the chevrons. The features make more sense as wind-made structures, they reported in the May 2009 Geology. That's how science goes.
PS: The 1964 Alaska earthquake sent a tsunami down the Pacific coast of North America. It was news all the way down in California. Here's a first-person account, with photos, from a Canadian who lived through it.

With a name like Mr. Whiskers, I had to stop by when I was in the neighborhood. Finding the beer section is a bit of a game. I made my way through the maze of cases of wine, and found one of the relatively bigger selection of sixers and bombers of the area. Also some 12 packs, sadly including SN Celebration. It's bad if you have to wonder if it's been released this year already. Someone did offer assistance, but I had it under control. Prices were on par for the area, easily a few bucks more than i'm used to. Seems like someone here cares about craft beer, but the demand isn't quite there...yet. People support the local breweries, so I can easily see awareness growing. The prices might not be inviting, so maybe putting those aging beers on sale would help move things along.

If your looking for a wide vatiety, good service, and decent prices this is your place. It's pretty convenient to the interstate as well. Plenty of Belgian Brews here, so that's always a plus. This was the store that I bought my first real Craft Brew, so its sort of special in that aspect.
If they don't have something our are looking for they will go out of their way to get it for you, which is awesome. Overall just a really good place for some good finds, and your regulars that you would expect to see mostly anywhere.

4.3/5 rDev +8.9%
Mr. Whiskers has been my number one choice for high ABV beers for quite some time in Nashville, simply because they have a better selection than other stores I've been to, and they allow singles for basically everything.
Plus, the service is outstanding. They will LOVE to talk to you about the beers...and if they don't have something, they are sincerely interested in getting it. This goes a long way....and separates them from many other stores that just don't seem to care.
I will say the price is a bit high. It's in a very high-end neighborhood so I suppose you could expect that. I guess I look at it like I'm paying a bit extra for service.

A little out of the way and not quite the quantity that Frugal or Midtown carry, but I feel like I always find more of the harder to find stuff here. Three big shelves and a cooler back in the corner of the store. This is only a liquor store so they dont have the normal low ABV stuff through another door like other TN places have.
Picked up some Terrapin Wake N Bake and Boulevard Smokestack stuff while I was in. They also have plenty of Stone, Rogue, Chimay Rochefort, Hitachino, Duvel, Boulder Brewing, SN and much more.
Staff is very friendly and always willing to discuss different things.

For Nashville, the selection here beats everyone else in high ABV brews... The other reviews here seem to be a bit dated and things have definitely changed at this place. This place has all of the brews that the other places in town carry plus lots that the others don't. 3L bottle of Duvel or Double Bastard? Mr Whiskers.. Oak Aged Widdershins? Mr Whiskers... Stone Old Guardian? Mr. Whiskers... They just carry more seasonals like Palo Santo Marron and Immort Ale than the other places... A must stop in Nashville..

3.15/5 rDev -20.3%
Mr. Whiskers is a regular stop for me since it's right across from Target. I was definitely surprised when I first stopped in (especially since they were the first in the area to have those huge Stone Oaked AB bottles!)
Quality has been fine. Since they're a liquor store, they generally don't suffer from ordering from the distributor as late as possible. However, there has been a lot of sediment at the bottom of some bottles, like Rogue 2IPA.
The guys are always nice here, and there's one guy in particular who I talk to and who enjoys the fine beers at the store. He always recommends the Lion Stout though.
They always have a lot of Belgians: Chimay, Corsendonk, Orval, Duvel, Westy, Delirium. The only place where I've found Ruination, La Rossa, Lion Stout, Rogue 2IPA, and DFH Immort. One nice thing is that they'll always sell in singles, in case you're not sure you want to pay $12 for a pack of Sam Smith RIS or $20 for some DFH Immort.
Value as usual for the high taxes and little distribution here.

text: MADISON (WKOW/ANGIE'S LIST) -- Your refrigerator is the most used appliance in the kitchen, so when it breaks down, you may be faced with a big decision: should you repair or replace your appliance?A good practice in determining whether to repair or replace is to look at how old the refrigerator is and the cost of repair. If it's a unit that is 10 years or older and the cost of repair is half the cost to replace it, you'll probably be better off investing in a new, energy-efficient model. You can boost home efficiency by purchasing a well-sealed and insulated fridge. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label uses at least 40 percent less energy than the conventional models sold in 2001.Now is a good time to be on lookout for deals as stores will be making way for new models before the end of the year.Maintaining your refrigerator is an easy way to avoid repair or replacement costs. Don't stuff the refrigerator and freezer so full that the air flow is blocked. Be sure to regularly clean the condenser coils and check the seal. If the seal is not tight, you are losing efficiency and not keeping food properly chilled. Close the door on a thin sheet of paper and if the paper slips, your fridge is wasting energy. Replace the seal or adjust the door latch if needed.For more from Angie's List about repairing your refrigerator, click here.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton says that even if he does become a free agent, he wants to remain with the Rangers.
On Friday, the former AL MVP said he didn't feel that he owed the Rangers. Hamilton clarified those remarks Sunday and said his loyalty is with the Rangers.
Hamilton's contract is finished after this season. His agent and Rangers recently put off talks on a new deal after Hamilton had a relapse with alcohol. Hamilton has been troubled by drugs and alcohol throughout his professional career.
Hamilton has helped the Rangers win the AL pennant in each of the last two seasons.

CDW Data Storage Advisor
Vertical Market: Computers/Electronics
Implemented in: United States

The Challenge
CDW was finding that customers shopping for data storage were often discouraged by the complicated product category - consumers either shied away from buying or ended up buying a product that did not meet their needs. CDW also saw an opportunity to shorten the lengthy sales cycle associated with data storage products.
The Solution
The CDW Data Storage Advisor provides recommended specifications for data storage rather than specific products. Once they've gotten recommendations, users can search, print, or email, or even send the specifications to a CDW account manager. This allows the account manager to gain some insight into what the client is seeking even before the first phone call or email.
More Information: CDW is a leading provider of technology solutions for business, government, education and healthcare. Ranked No. 38 on Forbes' list of America's Largest Private Companies, CDW features dedicated account managers who help customers choose the right technology products and services to best meet their unique needs. CDW was founded in 1984 and employs more than 6,300 coworkers.

Algae, 'the green menace,' is becoming more of a serious
threat to the region's source of drinking water, according to researchers on
day one of the American Water Works Association
conference taking place at the Seagate Centre.
"The problem is getting worse. It's driven largely, not
only by agricultural patterns, but by weather," said Dr. Tom Bridgeman with the
University of Toledo's Lake Erie Center.
Bridgeman says more focus needs to be placed on
preventing phosphorus fertilizers from being flushed into the Lake Erie
"What we can control is whether the rainfall that falls
on our watershed washes fertilizers into the tributaries that makes its way
into the lake," he said.
Dr. David Baker with the National Center for Water
Quality Research says while efforts to control agricultural erosion have been
successful, water in Lake Erie's western basin has become 'a broth' for growing
"The most inexpensive way for farmers to apply phosphorus
fertilizer is to broadcast it, simply spread it around on the surface," Baker
said. "Dissolved phosphorus, which is more bio-available to algae, has, in fact,
Researchers agree any changes moving forward have to be
