Taking a look at Oakland's chances at their first playoff appearance since 2006 ...
'Duk: Aloha, Mr. Brown! We're coming up on next Tuesday's trading deadline very quickly and there's no shortage of teams looking to make some home improvements before the stretch run. However, the most surprising DIYers poking around the materials bin— and I'm sure you'll agree — are the Oakland Athletics. Though they dropped a 10-4 decision to Toronto on Thursday, they just recorded a seven-game winning streak that propelled them to the top of the AL wild cards standing with a 53-45 record and brought their love of a bad '80s movie to a national audience. For all the love the Angels have received since their post-April resurrection, the A's trail them by just one game. Meanwhile, they're 5 1/2 games behind Texas for the AL West lead heading into Friday night's action.
So basically the A's have gone from a point where they were going to hang Brandon McCarthy and Bartolo Colon out on a shingle for the pitching-starved masses (and, boy, would I have loved to see that image) to sniffing around for reinforcements of their own. It's a really fascinating situation to watch because the A's really have no time to let things settle before making a decision. And given that they're currently tied for a playoff spot, they have to go ahead and see what they can do to improve that team no matter if they're leveraging part of their future while doing it.
Do you think that's a wise move? Should the A's be pushing more chips into the center of the table?
DB: Excuse me, but is this the debate where I pick Oakland to finish last in the AL West? Oh, wrong place, sorry. Señor 'Duk, the baseball playoffs have always been a crapshoot, even when we just had two teams and a best-of-nine World Series. With these changes — the one-and-done wild card and the specter of additional sudden death tie-breakers — the shoot is just a little more crappy. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it when you have the chance. Five times since MLB went to six divisions in 1994, a wild card team has won the World Series. That right there should be enough to make Billy Beane say "What the heck?" and go for it now. Of course, there are different degrees of "going for it." Should he deal the A's best prospects for Zack Greinke? Probably not, but as many of the other trades have shown us this season, teams don't have to deal their best prospects to get better. And if the A's get just a little better, they might make the playoffs. And if they make the playoffs, they might win them.
'Duk: Oh, I know what you're saying DB. The A's are a best-in-baseball 31-15 since June 1 and they've given their loyal fans a lot to be excited about. I'm glad they actually have reason to toot their horns after years of being dealt stomach punches like trading Carlos Gonzalez for a few months of bad Matt Holliday or ownership being more committed to fighting for territorial rights.
At the same time, "making the playoffs" is a lot different in the year 2012. Unless the A's think they have a shot at catching the Rangers — and I don't think they do — their best-case scenario is getting into a coinflip game. Or, if there's a tie for one of the wild cards, a coinflip game that will get them into the coinflip game. Sure, the A's could win those — especially with the way the pitching staff has been performing, but what will the bet cost them?
I keep thinking back to last year's Pirates, who were kinda-sorta contenders at the end of July but fell apart the first two weeks of August and didn't even come close to finishing above .500. Pirates' management was smart enough not to buy in the illusion, they kept all their young stud prospects and now it looks like there's a renaissance a-brewin' in Pittsburgh, partly because they didn't get fooled into giving up a lot for Doug Fister or whoever last deadline.
Ultimately, though, I think the the shallow pockets of A's ownership makes our argument a moot point. Maybe Beane can pull of a shrewd move, but this is pretty much the group that will lead them to feast or famine. The A's reportedly lost out on Hanley Ramirez because the Dodgers were willing to eat more salary and there's no way they're going to put themselves on the hook for the final two years of Jimmy Rollins' contract, even if he is a Oakland native.
What's your gut feeling? Do you think the A's reach the playoffs with the squad they have (plus a few nominal improvements)?
DB: The last time I had a gut feeling about the A's, I predicted they would lose up to 300 games this season. Let's look at the facts, Kevin. Oakland's run differential is better than Detroit's or Cleveland's, about the same as Boston's and better than the other trailers in the AL East. In other words, they stack up well against the competition. This is the best indicator that they're in the race for the long haul. They have 16 one-run victories and seven in extra innings, so they're lucky too. Their lineup is full of holes, but Yoenis Cespedes is slugging .792 in the second half, so if he stays hot and Josh Reddick keeps on keepin' on, they ought to score enough runs to supplement their pitching staff, which — as you said — is among the very best. If Billy can find a Ray Durham type of guy like he did with the "Moneyball" team 10 years ago, these guys will be in the race down to the wire. With a little more luck, they won't be left standing once the music stops.

(KMOV) – More fines issued for those involved in a government- funded "free phone" fiasco following a News 4 Investigation.
Two companies accused of fraud first played off the allegations to News 4's Chris Nagus but now face more trouble with the Federal Communication Commission with tens of millions in total fines.
People who weren't low income were being targeted with an opportunity to sign up for a government-funded cell phone. It came from Cintex Wireless, based in Maryland.
The company collected millions off the federal program. A man claiming to be a warehouse manager seemed clueless about the offers arriving in Missouri.
Paul Green was the man in charge, but he was out of town when Nagus knocked on his door.
Cintex attorneys insisted they were following the rules but, on Wednesday, the FCC slapped them with a $9.5 million fine for allegedly breaking the rules.
News 4 exposed another company who was sending phones to St. Louis residents who never signed up; all courtesy of the government, with sign ups through Life Wireless, a division of Telrite.
The FCC slapped this company with a $22 million fine.
Another company, Global Connection was also hit with a $12 million fine on Wednesday.
Over the past 90 days, 11 different providers have faced 90 million in fines with Wednesday's announcement. Those companies have to pay up or appeal.

How to check your electrical system is safe
There are some tell-tale signs that your system is out of date and unsafe to work on (old-style rubber-sheathed cable, for example). But even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong. So make sure it's safe before you begin work.
If you're in any doubt, get it checked by a qualified electrician.

Domestic arrival C > Int'l departure A West - 50 mins?Oct 16, 20131I am looking at an itinerary that has me arriving on a domestic US air flight at C21 and departing for the UK from A21 just 50 minutes later. Is this possible?hopefulTue, Oct 15
Arriving in Terminal B; Departing in Terminal ADec 7, 20132We are flying US Airways RDU to PHL and then British Air PHL to LHR. US Airways will not do an interline transfer of luggage - hence, we must pick up our luggage in Terminal B and go to Terminal A to re-check it. How do we do this?treeMon, Oct 14Concourses B & A are connected at post-security areas by moving walkways. Both are right next to each others.tuoct13Tue, Oct 15
Terminal F to COct 13, 20131Hi I arriving at terminal F from Miami , and have a connection at Terminal B for Montreal connection of 45minutes ...all flight with Us Airways...I read some terrible review and now im freaking out that I will miss my connection i dont have custom to past only in Montreal ...is the transfert between terminal F and C is easy ?? and will i have time to make my connection or no ???StephPSat, Oct 12You are not clear At PHL you arrive at TF and need to connect to TC or TB? US Airways uses all three terminals. Free large shuttle buses, operated by US Airways , make the following connections at post-security areas, where they run fromTerminal F (gate F14) only to either gates C16 or A1; your transfer time will suffice.suoct13Sun, Oct 13
Hi, help pleaseOct 10, 20131Hi, I am arriving at gate C 16 tomorrow from BDL at 1233 I depart for ORF at F 34, boarding time 130 so that gives me roughly 40 minutes to take the shuttle, USAir says no problem, guy at the airport was laughing at me. Help, please.KristenFWed, Oct 9
Using TC Security Checkpoint after International flight arrivalSep 29, 20131I fly into PHL International Terminal several times per year. I have Global Entry so customs is no longer a problem. Last Tuesday clearing Security took 45 minutes - TA is not participating in Trusted Traveler Screening, but Trusted Traveler is implemented in TC. Is there an easy way to get from terminal A to Terminal C - basically going from TA Arrivals to TC departures - So I could use the TC Security checkpoint instead of the frequently disfunctional TA security checkpoint?IntFlyerSat, Sep 28
terminal A-westSep 15, 20132can i walk from terminal A-West to TB and how long will it take....i have a connecting flight and a one hour forty minute lay over is that enoughmazSat, Sep 14At this time of the year your transfer time should be enough: On arrival at Terminal A-West, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag. Allow at least 35-45 minutes to connecting terminal. The Customs hall of TA-West connects to Concourse A-East (oopposite ticketing), which in turn leads to the Terminal B/C connector with (gates B1-16 & C16-31).susep13Sun, Sep 15

The US Airways shuttle only makes its runs to Terminal F from Gates C16 or A1. Therefore, you would have to take the bus to Terminal C's gate 16, then take the connector to Terminal D (gates D1-16).weaug13Wed, Aug 28
Flying from Frankfurt to MontrealAug 18, 20131Hi, my daughter and I will be flying to Montreal via Philadelphia from Frankfurt/Germany (flights 701 and 3984) on August 22. We will have a layover of one hour and 44 minutes. We will arrive in Philadelphia at gate A and depart for Montreal at gate F. What will be the customs and security procedures for us and will we be able to make it? I read some stories online about Philadelphia airport and am a bit worried. Thanks for your help.Canada2013Sun, Aug 18You will clear immigration in Terminal A, claim your baggage, clear customs, and re-check your bags with US Airways. You'll then go back upstairs to go through security and then take the US Airways shuttle bus to Terminal F. You will have to hope your flight is on-time and hurry. However, if you do miss your connection, US Airways has two later flights to Montreal.ZAPSun, Aug 18

Baggage transferAug 12, 20131Help..my husband and I will be flying into terminal F. We must pickup our luggage and check in for Luthansa in terminal A. Being that my husband has respiratory problems can we take a cab to departures for terminal A? If not what other options do we have?CathyMon, Aug 12Why do you have to pick up your baggage? Did you purchase two separate tickets? If you do have to claim your baggage in F and take it to A, an alternative to a cab or walking would be the SEPTA train which has an E/F station and a Terminal A station. However, the train only runs once every 30 minutes. Additionally, there is no ground transportation in Terminal F, so you will have to walk to terminal E anyway. At that point it may be worth it to just continue on to A at whatever pace your husband can handle. If you did purchase your tickets on one reservation, your bags should be checked through to Lufthansa and you can take US Airways' shuttle bus on the secure side from F to A.ZAPMon, Aug 12

These kinds of confusions are very common at your age ,so you don't need to worry at all.
You can choose your field on the basis of your interest like if you think you can easily convenience others , good communication skill and influence others then you can go for commerce area .And if you are good in Maths and statistics then you can choose areas related to math .
There are some other traits also which are imp. to determine that which field should be suitable for you like your skills, aptitude and ability .You can take some psychometric tests which are designed by "meracareerguide.com".these tests would be helpful for you to take right decision.
Good luck!!!...

The formula for weight loss is elementary – eat less, exercise more. Yet as basic as it sounds, more than 58 million Americans are still overweight. On any given day, it's estimated that half the women in the U.S. are on a diet. So why can't most people unload those extra pounds? According to fitness coach and former Mr. Universe Nordine Zouareg, it's because they're focusing too much on their bodies and not enough on their brains. Could the right mindset hold the key to permanent weight loss?
It doesn't matter if you follow a well-balanced diet program and an effective exercise regimen. Without the right attitude, the best-laid weight loss plans will go awry. After training thousands of clients, Zouareg, fitness coach at the world-renowned Miraval Spa & Resort near Tucson, Arizona, knows what separates the winners from the losers… or rather, those who can't lose weight. He shares his formula for beating the bulge in his book

(Springboard Press, 2007).
Sure, it takes work – and workouts – to shed those extra pounds. But according to Zouareg, the most important work has nothing to do with counting calories or lifting weights. As a former bodybuilding champ, he knows what it takes to get in tip-top shape: knowing and visualizing your core desire. That's Zouareg's secret weapon for fighting fat.
"I know people want a quick fix to tell them how to get in shape in seven minutes," he says. "You have to understand that the mental part is most important." But most people, he says, are very reluctant to focus on it. (See related story:
Think Thin, Stay Slim
Zouareg's first step when he meets clients is to outline all the benefits of shifting their mindset. Once they understand those, he says, people don't mind devoting 10-15 minutes a morning to the mental exercises he advocates. The same holds true for physical exercise.
"People are overwhelmed with the thought of having to work out for one to two hours," he says. "We're not talking about fitness buffs. We're talking about people who want to lose weight and feel great. They need to get in and out [of the gym]. A simple exercise program works." Better yet, he says, it doesn't take huge amounts of time to get where you want to be.
Zouareg's fitness plan is simple and straightforward. It features short, varied workouts done five days a week. None require more than a half hour to complete.
Days 1 and 4:
12 minutes of upper body strength training (chest, back, shoulders, triceps, biceps, upper abs, and waist), followed by 12 minutes of cardio training
Days 2 and 5:
12 minutes of lower body strength training (quads, glutes, hamstrings, adductors, abductors, calves, lower abs, and waist), followed by 12 minutes of cardio training
Day 3:
24 minutes of cardio training
The Core of Weight Loss
The most demanding part of Zouareg's program may be the mental exercises he recommends to achieve lasting weight loss. Most people know how to lose weight, but they don't know how to put that knowledge into action, he says.
The goal of
Mind Over Body
is to help readers move from knowing to doing. By gaining control of your subconscious, you'll overcome the biggest hurdle standing between you and permanent weight loss.
His book creates a balance of body, mind and spirit through four steps that explore each reader's true desires. In this LifeScript exclusive, Zouareg shares his secret formula for losing weight.
1. Identify Your True Core Desire
Close your eyes and begin breathing deeply. Think about the things you truly want. If you're thinking about losing weight, picture yourself in your best swimsuit. Envision the goal you want to achieve. Imagine yourself there. Think about the work that needs to be done to look and feel that way. See yourself in the environment you want to be in.
You'll notice your heart rate increasing. You'll feel either good or bad. Ask yourself the truth about how you feel; it lies in your level of excitement, Zouareg says. Once you start to see yourself at your ideal weight, gauge your reaction on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most excited. Once you reach that level of excitement, you'll feel that nothing can stop you from obtaining your core desire. Practice envisioning your desire to raise your level of excitement.
2. Use the Power of Intention
Someone who wants to lose weight might go on a treadmill or elliptical machine. That is their intention – to shed pounds. However, if that same person is eating a chocolate bar, there's a difference between their action and their intention. If you've ever heard people say they're going to start dieting and then caught them eating junk – or done the same thing yourself – the action clashes with the intention.
Harnessing the power of intention is simply matching your core values to your actions. Zouareg blames our failure to merge the two on our inability to live in the moment. "At Miraval, we give people access to the bar, something that no other health spa does," he says. "We give them the choice so they can make sure that their actions are truly matching their values."
Three of the most powerful tools to synchronize action with intention are meditation, visualization and affirmation. Using them, you can shift your conscious thoughts to feed your mind positive messages about you and about the things that matter to you. Ultimately, this will help you take the actions necessary to reach your goals.
3. Make an Appropriate Action Plan
When you're getting started, it's important to make a reasonable plan of action. For example, if you're a busy working mom who can barely find time to go grocery shopping, you're going to have a hard time making it to the gym every night. (See related story:
Top 5 Morning Exercise Benefits
Devise a plan that fits into your life. If you set standards you can't meet, you'll quickly become discouraged and give up. Formulating a feasible action plan fueled by the power of intention will help you achieve your core desire.
4. Apply Your Resolve and Make It Automatic
People often start fitness programs only to give up after a few months. That's because old habits are hard to break and new ones hard to form – especially without the right mental approach.
According to Zouareg, 93% of what we do is based on the subconscious mind; a new habit takes 90 days to form in the subconscious mind. You have to do it for that long – and do it consistently – for a new routine to become an automatic behavior.
To help you hang in there and strengthen your resolve until a new behavior becomes second nature, Zouareg encourages using meditation, affirmation and visualization techniques at a certain time of day.
The Mind-Body Fitness Formula
When Miraval patrons first meet Zouareg, many of them brace for a vigorous fitness regimen. They're often surprised at how much he focuses on what happens above the neck.
"I tell them we're going to work on their mental patterns," he explains. "Too many people don't work with the right mental approach. Without the right mindset nothing is going to happen. You can get in shape, but you'll revert back to where you were."

You are Dr. Heiter, a brilliant German surgeon who has gone mad and surgically attached people ass-to-mouth to create the Human Centipede. Unfortunately, your patients are not pleased with being human centipedes and have begun to rebel against you.
Now you must take your trusty rifle and put down these human centipedes like the bad dogs they are. Don't forget to watch out for the police and collect glasses of water with roofies to slow down the centipedes!
This Centipede game parody is based on the heartwarming, feel good movie of the year for the whole family to enjoy - Human Centipede. We've just added a variety of medals to it, including a few secret ones you'll surely be able to unlock if you make it far enough in the game. Also included is a high scores list for those of you who are skilled enough to gun down plenty o' those pesky human centipedes to make it into the top ten.
Good luck, Herr Doktor!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Really funny.
The name itself made me laugh. Then when I got the achievement reading rainbow, I giggled. Then when I got into gameplay. I laughed my ass off. This my friend, was freaking amazing.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Awesome idea
The gameplay is quite entertaining, but what I liked the most was the idea of this. Taking a film and a classic game and combining them in such an interesting way with a few little twists.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This another one of these "Why didn't I think of this" type of things. The concept is so amusing that it's funny, but the actual game itself only gives about ten minutes worth of fun, if that. Still, one of the funnier things I've seen in a long time.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Extremely bad game
What are you? You monster! You created a game from a bad movie. Please the films
were disgusting but now you made a game of it! Gross! Revolting! Movies that have
to do with surgery horror are very terrible! This is one of them!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is a great game in every regard.
Excellent game, I like the crossover between the movie and the Atari classic. The controls are easy to get used to and I like the graphics. It would be even better if the cop wasn't faster than a damn rocket when I make it past level 12. Please consider slowing down the cop a little bit if it is possible.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Focus on the Positive
Cramer said the moral of these cautionary tales is to never trust management unless the company has earnings to back up its claims. In both cases, company management gave no indication the dividend was in trouble until it was.
In some rare cases, management does provide a heads-up, as Excelon (EXC) did for most of last year. But for the vast majority of cases, the shareholders are the last ones to know unless they're doing their homework.
Lightning Round
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on Yahoo! (YHOO), American Water Works (AWK), Aqua America (WTR) and US Airways Group (LCC).
Cramer was bearish on BlackBerry (BBRY), Level 3 Communications (LVLT) and Titan International (TWI).
Executive Decision: Nick Schorsch
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Nick Schorsch, chairman and CEO of American Realty Capital Partners (ARCP - Get Report), a REIT that's raised its dividend in the past five consecutive quarters. Schorsch has a positive story to tell -- his properties are not only 100% leased at the moment but his company has 0% of those tenants renewing their leases over the next 12 months and only 1% of their leases renewing in the next three years. Additionally, he noted that 79% of all American Capital's tenants are investment grade. Being a REIT is all about size, Schorsch continued, which is why his company is looking forward to being added to some prominent ETFs and indices such as the Russell 2000 in the coming year. He said that size matters a lot and far more investors will be investing in American Capital once it's a part of these key investment vehicles. When asked how the economy affects his company, Schorsch said American Capital is built to be durable in any economy. He said the company doesn't have tenants in the volatile electronics or bookseller space, for instance, and sticks with more stable clients including the federal government and FedEx (FDX). Finally, when asked about acquisitions, Schorsch said he's projecting $1 billion in new acquisitions this year, which should translate to a 16% earnings per share growth year over year. He said that goal should be easily attained.No Huddle Offense
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer said that despite the best efforts of Washington to keep our economy down, even a completely dysfunctional government isn't enough to stop the good things happening across our nation. Whether it's a resurgence in auto sales after a depression-like slump, or rising retail sales or the boom in housing and oil and gas, good things seem to be happening, noted Cramer -- even though no one in Washington other than Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke seems to be working towards job creation.

McGrath RentCorp Announces Results For Third Quarter 2013
Rental revenues increase 4%
Net income up 1%
EPS decreases 4% to $0.48 for the Quarter
LIVERMORE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McGrath RentCorp (Nasdaq:MGRC) (the "Company"), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 of $108.9 million, an increase of 10%, compared to $99.4 million in the third quarter of 2012. The Company reported net income of $12.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $12.5 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. Dennis Kakures, President and CEO of McGrath RentCorp, made the following comments regarding these results and future expectations: "Although we are disappointed that Company-wide net income was relatively flat and EPS down 4% from a year ago, we are pleased with the underlying favorable business activity levels and momentum we are seeing overall in our rental business portfolio. A higher fully diluted share count from a year ago led to the $0.02 reduction in EPS. Rental revenues at Adler Tank Rentals, our tank and box division, increased by $2.3 million, or 13%, to $19.1 million from a year ago. New business activity as measured by first month's rent and units booked continued favorably with increases of 20% and 26%, respectively, from the same period a year ago. With an increasing mix of non-fracking related rentals, we are seeing shorter average rental terms and a greater churn of rental equipment which has put downward pressure on utilization. Average utilization was 66.8% for the quarter compared to 68.9% in 2012; however average equipment on rent was $179.4 million during the quarter compared to $159.8 million a year ago. This is reflective of our need to continue to acquire a variety of tanks and boxes, other than 21K standard frack tanks, to support non-fracking end markets. In fact, during the third quarter, non-fracking related rental revenues increased by 24% to 88% of our rental revenue mix from 81% for the same period in 2012.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

If you make it a bit bold (to hide the intermediate lines) and modify |1| & |2| I think it will be close enough.
I found it using Find my Font - http://www.findmyfont.com
Thank you! Your info gave me the closest match to the original. I have been getting font-mares trying to find the right font.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at the BB&T Center Fulfilled in Every Way
This kicked off a seven-song encore during which the vibe went from insane to placid and back. The most emotional moment was when Clarence Clemons was honored in a video montage and Springsteen dedicated "The Wall" to all the vets out there in the crowd.
But I'll admit that I got choked up when the Boss grabbed a sign that said something like: "It was on my bucket list to dance with you onstage before I end up in a nursing home." He grabbed the old bag (j/k, she wasn't near nursing home age, and she was quite spry) and brought her onstage for a body-to-body dance. He got her a guitar and showed her how to mug at the crowd, and she even sang "hey baby" into the mic. Before she reentered the sea of fans, he bowed before her. Again, there's something about that one on one with Springsteen and his music that keeps us feeling special about ourselves and life generally.
Marta Xochilt Perez
Of course, the Boss is also a true humanitarian who gave a shoutout to LifeNet4Families, which feeds the homeless in Broward County, and he actually said Broward County. Which was impressive. And I didn't mention this yet, but at the end of the show, sleeveless and wet, the Boss hopped onto the white grand piano. Close your eyes and indulge in that hot vision.
"Fort Lauderdale, do you feel all right? Are your feet hurting? Are your hands hurting? Is your ass hurting? Is your voice worn out? Are your sexual organs stimulated?" the Boss screamed, preacher-style. He asked us to spread the word of the band -- to go home and wake up our families and neighbors, tell people on the street tomorrow that we'd just seen, among many other adjectives, the "earthshaking," "Viagra-taking," "testifying" E Street Band. And that, friends, is what I'm trying to do now.
And when he said to give it up for the "eternal ass-kicking power of rock 'n' roll," we all obliged with "Thunder Road." Arms were flying, people were screaming, and everyone went home feeling satiated but certain they'd be back for more later.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Twitter games doing Kane no favours
First the trade rumour, now $500 promo offers
PHILADELPHIA -- Evander Kane has rock-solid hockey representation in Newport Sports Management, but his relationship with a so-called business manager is getting him into a little trouble these days.
On Wednesday, Jeffrey Uppal stoked trade rumours involving Kane with his Twitter account, and now the Free Press has learned he's been representing the player with Winnipeg businesses.
Uppal is in no way associated with Newport but is CEO of UKD Inc., a company that lists Kane as vice-president.
Whether Kane is aware of Uppal's efforts is unclear, but a number of Winnipeg restaurants have been approached requesting a fee of $500 for positive promotional tweets from Kane's Twitter account.
Kane is certainly free to make whatever efforts he wishes in order to make a living. Endorsements are part of the modernday athlete's life and there's no negative judgment being made about Kane trying to earn a buck.
But this small-time stuff smacks of Turtle trying to get over due to Vince's fame on HBO's Entourage. Winnipeg certainly isn't Hollywood, and rolling like a movie star on the Prairies can lead to trouble.
Such as the firestorm Kane was forced to deal with on Thursday following the Jets' morning skate in Philadelphia.
The player stepped off the ice and immediately was hit with questions regarding a demand for a trade.
"No, I have not (asked for a trade). I guess people on social media come up with rumours," said Kane, referring to the Twitter and blog talk that had him asking for a move. Kane couldn't shed any light on Uppal's Twitter exchange with a member of the media stating he could shed light on the topic of a trade request.
"I can't speak for anybody but myself. The story started on some blog. I haven't even read it. I don't know what to think. I haven't asked for a trade and I'm happy where I am and I expect to be here for a long time," said Kane, who scored his second goal of the season Thursday night.
Kane also had to defend his relationship with head coach Claude Noel.
"I have the same relationship with Claude as the rest of the guys in the room do. I've been getting better, and the last two games have been much better," Kane said. "Rumours are rumours, and unless you hear it from the horse's mouth, it's not true."
Uppal did not respond to phone and email messages left by the Free Press.
Noel had little to say on the subject as well.
"The first I heard of it was this morning. As far as I'm concerned, I have a good relationship with Evander, so I don't know where it's coming from," Noel said. "If he or I have any issues, we deal with them head-on here. There haven't been any. He's been real good."
Kane has just started to look good on a line with Alexander Burmistrov and Nik Antropov. He can skate, he's powerful and fearless. He exudes the confidence needed to score goals in the NHL. He's a star in the making.
But to date he's not above reproach. So the after-parties bearing his name and entourage antics feel a little premature.
Vince had to put Johnny Drama and Turtle back in the cage every once in a while, and maybe Kane needs to do the same.

Rubicon Safari top
I have a safari top from a Rubicon sitting in my garage back home and I was wondering if my friend who has a 68 bronco could use it. The dimensions of the bronco Winshield to back of cage is about 80", winshield to cage is 3 feet, and winshield width is 57".
I don't remember the dimensions of the safari top so I'm hoping someone could chime in and give a rough estimate. Thanks! |

No surprise
At whatever juncture the Bears' season went from disappointing to wretched, Sunday in Minneapolis seemed to be the exclamation point.
It's not that we didn't expect it. For once, the Bears were actually predictable.
At least no one can be in denial any longer. No more pretending they're close to a playoff-caliber team if only Nope, Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Vikings, the Bears' sixth defeat in the past seven games, was typical of this season, revealing only if this were the first game you've seen them play this season, and as embarrassing as it sounds, more embarrassing as you peruse the numbers.
The 10-1 Vikings amassed 537 yards in total offense in contrast to 169 for the 4-7 Bears, who had two yards -- TWO -- in the entire second half.
Minnesota had 31 first downs to eight for the Bears, with an advantage in time of possession of 40:18-19:05.
Brett Favre was 32-of-48 for 392 yards and three touchdown passes -- connecting with five receivers on at least five receptions for 50 or more yards -- and looked considerably more agile at 40 than his 26-year-old counterpart.
The Bears turned the ball over three times, all in the first half, and went without a rushing first down the entire afternoon.
Missed opportunities? Somehow the Bears have turned this into something less than the fatal flaw it is, as if having the opportunity in the first place deserves a pat on the head.
Unlucky Seven
Jay Cutler struggled when the Vikings dropped seven into pass coverage. This has been a recurring theme in 2009 - 15 of Cutler's now 20 Int have come against four pass rushers or less.
4 or Less | 5 or More | |
Comp-att | 13-17 | 5-6 |
Pass yds | 96 | 51 |
TD-Int | 0-2 | 1-0 |
Passer rtg | 49.8 | 141.7 |
The Bears cut short the Vikings' first drive of the game when Hunter Hillenmeyer stripped the ball from Adrian Peterson and Alex Brown recovered on Chicago's 35-yard line? Terrific. A three-and-out and Brad Maynard punt followed.
A 55-yard Maynard punt in the first quarter pinned the Vikings inside their own 5-yard line? Wonderful. Favre marched his team on a 13-play, 96-yard drive that included passes of 14, 11, 16, 27 and 15 yards for the touchdown to Percy Harvin. It included one pass to former Bears receiver Bernard Berrian in which he was so wide open he was alone in the camera frame, and also included back-to-back pass interference and offsides penalties on the Bears.
Trailing 17-7, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler drove his team to the Vikings' 22 in the second quarter? Great. Cutler left the ball well short of Johnny Knox in the end zone and into the waiting arms of Cedric Griffin.
The Bears prevented the Vikings from capitalizing on the next drive? No matter. Cutler threw his second interception on the ensuing drive and Favre guided his team 70 yards on seven plays, throwing his third touchdown pass of the first half as Minnesota increased its lead to 24-7. Included in that drive was a 33-yard pass to Sidney Rice that Favre telegraphed to all of Minneapolis but that still failed to get the attention of Bears corner Zack Bowman, who never turned his head to see it coming.
Knox opened the second half with a 78-yard return before stepping out of bounds on the Vikings' 8-yard line? Hooray. In the four plays that follow, Matt Forte tripped on his fullback for no gain, Orlando Pace was called for a false start, Cutler was sacked twice and the Bears settled for a 38-yard field goal by Robbie Gould.
Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner revealed that on the first Cutler sack, on second-and-8 from the Minnesota 8, the quarterback never had a chance because his receiver "runs the wrong route."
"When he gets the opportunity, he's a hell of a player," Turner said of Cutler, "but we have to give him a chance."
And on and on it goes for the Bears. Not missed opportunities but bad football. They tried to get clever and line up defensive tackle Anthony Adams at fullback, and the seven-year veteran was penalized for failing to report in.
"We feel like crap today," said Bears coach Lovie Smith. "No way around it; it's not a feel-good after a loss like this, but the sun normally comes up and the sun will come up tomorrow."
Yes, that is normally the case with the sun. But to disguise a bad season by pretending this was just a bad day, if that's what he was doing, is an insult to Bears fans.
Kind of like Cutler saying "We didn't play up to our standards."
And what standards would those be exactly?
The Bears can make some changes in the final five games. They can shift Chris Williams from the right side to the left side. They can play Jarron Gilbert and Devin Aromashodu and Kevin Shaffer and maybe even Kahlil Bell. But that is not going to be the answer.
Answers imply hope, and the Bears aren't good enough for that yet.

Mike Martz could be the Bears' next offensive coordinator, but he comes with a lot of baggage. Melissa Isaacson

All Aboard the Chuck Express LbNA # 67428
Owner | ASEA of Lolo |
Placed Date | Jul 19 2014 |
County | Missoula |
Location | Milwaukee Trail, Missoula, MT |
Boxes | 1 |
Found By | |
Last Update |
The boys and I have dedicated this letterbox to my dad Charles, effectionately known as Chuck who was an avid lover of trains. He would have loved the history about this building.
There are a couple old train stations, neither used as such anymore, in downtown Missoula. Find the old Milwaukee Railroad building. The building itself was built between 1909 and 1910. It was used as a passanger terminal through 1960. It is currently occupied by the Boone and Crocket Club.
Along the river is a lovely trial for a walk or bike ride passing right by the station. You can park in the Currents parkinglot off of Orange for a nice walk. Follow the trail until you are facing the station. Looking at the station you will see a large statue of a grizzly. Turn with your back to the statue and take 10-12 steps to the left on the trail. Look to your left and find a large boulder infront of a pine. Wedged between is the Chuck Express hidden under pine needles and a couple of medium sized rocks.

I usually wait at least 6 months to a year after a new firearms hits the streets to buy one so the "bugs" can get worked out but since I really do not need another BUG anyway and already have a S&W 642, Ruger LCP and Kahr PM9 I now use as BUGS, I guess I purchased the S&W Bodyguard cause I just wanted it, and this price is too good to pass up. Express Police Supply has the handgun for $389.99 for civilians and $339.99 for "First Responders" (past or present) and I got free shipping for being a S&W forum member! So I just orderd the gun for $339.99 OTD and my FFL's transfer fee is $15 so I will pay a total of $355 for the new BUG.......thats hard top beat.
here's the link of anyone interested. I don't think you will find one cheaper.

Bilbao + Basque Country hotels
The opening of the Guggenheim Museum in 1997 launched a new wave of modern architecture in Bilbao. Most of the hotels built in the city since then have an angular, minimalist aesthetic (although they don't skimp on luxury). There are some older, statelier hotels in the city, too, but even a few of these are redesigning so they're more "contemporary."
The neighboring seaside city of San Sebastián has surprisingly few great hotels for a tourist town. Apart from the handful of high-end lodgings (some of which have seen better days), there are mainly divey pensiones, which have their charms but not many creature comforts. Our recommendations, below, represent the best of the bunch.

Small Businesses Set To Increase Use Of Mobile Technology For Events In 2013, According To Constant Contact's EventSpot Survey
According to a new survey from EventSpot™ from Constant Contact®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTCT), released in celebration of Small Business Saturday®, 81 percent of small businesses and nonprofits planning events expect to increase their use of mobile technology to market their events in the next year. However, there appears to be a considerable gap in interest level versus skill level; an overwhelming 90 percent of these planners say they would like to learn just how they can leverage mobile technology specifically for their events.
"Mobile tools will no doubt assume a much bigger role in event planning for small businesses and nonprofits but considerable training needs to occur before we'll see widespread adoption," said Chris Litster, vice president and general manager of EventSpot from Constant Contact. "Mobile technology offers the distinct advantages of reach, convenience, and affordability but until small businesses have the proper training, many won't be able to leverage mobile tools to maximum advantage."
Sixteen percent of those surveyed currently distribute content to an event registrant's mobile device. When asked what event content they distribute:
