Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
I salute you, Jets logo
After all, pro sports has always served as a proxy for real warfare
At the risk of retrieving the rotted remains of a horse from the glue factory just to bash it again, it's pretty safe to say Winnipeg is still digesting its hockey team's air force-inspired emblem.
The stylized roundel that serves as the Winnipeg Jets' new logo has sparked the biggest debate over design in this city since utilitarian critics heaped abuse upon Esplanade Riel, the pointy pedestrian bridge whose now-beloved image is synonymous with Winnipeg itself.
Last week, when I wrote a column praising the simplicity of the logo's design, some readers were disappointed I didn't take umbrage to the military association.
"Sure, it is a handsome design," wrote a longtime acquaintance who proudly calls himself a pacifist. "(But) the militarization of a sports team is a terrible idea, especially in a city that, for example, contains more Mennonites than military members.
"It is a real letdown, perpetuates a right-wing and frankly un-Canadian ideology introduced to the game by (Stephen) Harper and (Don) Cherry and disgraces the character of our city."
My old pal went on to compare the unveiling of the Jets' logo to a morality play, where hero yearns for something for years, only to be disappointed when the desired outcome actually happens.
"I think it is one of the saddest events for our city in a long while," he wrote. "It makes me feel ashamed and embarrassed."
This reader is not alone. Over the past week, many Winnipeg hockey fans have expressed similar opinions, to the point where I'm confident a significant minority of Jets supporters are uncomfortable with the logo's military provenance.
But at the risk of once again disappointing the pacifists, I don't understand the logic behind their discomfort. That's because professional sport has always served as a proxy for the warfare that used to be a more commonplace aspect of Western society.
At the risk of simplifying history to cartoonish proportions, there may not be much of a distinction between warfare and organized sport, if you go back far enough.
In the days of city states and feudal fiefdoms, peasants living under the euphemistic "protection" of armed militias hoped "their guys" would go out and beat "the other guys" to prevent their hamlets or villages from being ransacked and pillaged and women raped by strangers who tended to behave rather badly when they were on the road.
I'm not suggesting warfare evolved directly into pro sport. But you don't need to be overly perceptive to find similarities between a stadium full of people cheering on a team and a medieval square full of soldiers, with cheering patriots at their side or a Soviet-era plaza full of missiles rolling by carefully choreographed crowds.
In the modern context, organized sport serves as a relatively bloodless surrogate for actual war. While people still get hurt on the ice at hockey games, on the turf at football games and in the beer-soaked stands at European soccer matches, the collective madness that takes over professional-sport audiences doesn't look and feel much different than the fervour found at an old military rally.
I don't say this because I dislike professional sport. I share season tickets for both the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the NHL's Winnipeg Jets. I've been a fan of both leagues my whole life.
But even I get creeped out by the jingoism when I attend a Minnesota Vikings game in Minneapolis and the majority of the 70,000 fans in attendance are clad in the same purple-and-gold merchandise. Anyone who isn't looks like an interloper.
I'm no cultural anthropologist, but professional sport probably taps into some unfortunate but undeniable human desire to lose oneself in the collective madness of a massive and occasionally idiotic crowd. And that's precisely the same desire that fuelled the military rallies in societies that committed horrible things in the name of nationalism.
But here's where I part ways from the pacifist crowd: There's no denying far fewer people get hurt by professional sport than get hurt by warfare. Even mortal enemies like India and Pakistan understand it's safer to play cricket with each other than send more militants into Kashmir or point more nukes over the Karakorams.
Again, professional sport tends to only kill its participants, through steroid use and brain injuries and the long-term side effects of other forms of physical and chemical abuse. Warfare kills people. From a harm-reduction perspective, I choose pro sport.
Of course, I've just set up a straw man, as any pacifist would agree pro sport is better for humanity than warfare. But I only took my argument to absurd levels because I don't understand how any pacifist can be blind to the connection between both endeavours.
All True North Sports & Entertainment, the owners of the Winnipeg Jets, has done is make the relationship between pro sport and the military more obvious than it usually tends to be. Although it must be said, there isn't anything overly subtle about the use of violent imagery by major-league clubs that have been around a lot longer than the nouveau Winnipeg Jets.
North American pro sports is laden with clubs named or designed after institutions a lot less venerable than the Canadian Armed Forces. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders are named after roving bands of murderous thieves.
Of course, you could argue these names were chosen at a less sensitive time in North American history, when it also seemed wise to choose racist names like Edmonton Eskimos, Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians.
But I reject the notion the Jets association with the air force is insensitive. Canada's air force has little to be ashamed about. We helped win the Second World War, the closest thing to the proverbial "just war" in our history. We didn't bomb Vietnam. We didn't bomb Iraq, the second time around. We did intervene in Kosovo and Libya with good intentions despite mixed results.
And I also don't believe the logo is overly jingoistic because pro sport is jingoistic from the start, as I explained earlier.
If you feel uncomfortable cheering for a team with a fighter jet on its jersey, why do you feel comfortable cheering for a team of large men who run around a sheet of ice hitting other large men -- and occasionally punching them?
So at the risk of upsetting the legacy of J.S. Woodsworth and all the other great pacifists in Winnipeg's history, I am no more troubled by the fighter plane on the Jets jersey than I am troubled by the fang-toothed dinosaur on the Toronto Raptors' shirts.
And I'm a lot less troubled by a jet than I am by the implied message behind the Edmonton Oilers' nickname, which celebrates non-renewable energy.
And herein lies the crux of my argument: "Edmonton sucks." Did I mention pro sport could be mindless?

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Mariah Carey, along with husband Nick Cannon and twins Monroe and Moroccan, was spied boarding a yacht for a quick excursion around Australia's Great Barrier Reef. For the occasion, Mariah was in full on glam mode, sporting a $2,760 Roberto Cavalli Red Pointelle Knit Long Sleeve Maxi Dress and $895 gold YSL Tribute Sandals:
Her long sleeved dress has a round neckline with cutout scallops, and a columnar skirt that falls straight with side vents.
Her classic sandals have a 5″ heel and a 1 1/2″ platform.
Mimi isn't known for her spectacular fashion sense, but this look is a win for me. If I had the luxury of sailing on a yacht (along with an unlimited bank account) I'd wear something similar.
If you would, too, splurge on her look here:
Cute kids! Cute family.
What do you think?
Why cant she dress casual?
Is it just me, or does Mariah have a bit of heel hangeration off the back of those YSLs?
Perhaps one of Mariah's NY resolutions should be to get a stylist. No?
@Rio yes. It very well should be her resolution.
I love how inappropriately formal she is all the time. She cracks me up.
i think she look great for a yacht.there nothing wrong with wanting to look glamorous all the time.some of you ladies need some glamour in your lives.especially those thinking its okay to run around looking a hot mess,cause your just running errands.
No, I would not wear this on a yacht. I would wear a cute light colored jumpsuit with a strappy secure mid-heeled sandal, a bun and some gold hoops. Not a red floor length gown with a thigh high split and gold 5 in heels and diamond chandelier earrings. Are you f'n kidding me? she looks a mess but I love her. haha. In true diva fashion, she will NOT dress down. Over dressed and country as usual. Go Mariah!
@makeasweet…I'm the first one to run around with a messy bun in some sweats n sneakers…if u rather rather run around in 5 inch heels n tight dresses for your errands that's your business…
But back to the post…that look up there for me is a big ole NO!! Mimi needs a stylist much sooner than later….when I think of yachts I think of comfort n sexy swimsuits!
She is tooo much, and not in the good way. And Meanwhile, Nick is wearing the 10yr old sleeves under the shirt look.
She looks good. This seems yatch appropriate.
lmfao at their juxtaposition. these two are hilarious!
@kitty b
its not about wearing 5 inch heels and wearing a tight dress while out and about.its about looking put together,which you can do with a cute simple outfit and a pair of flats.it so sad that you think going out looking like a bum is better then looking overdress.i long for days of old Hollywood glamour.its seem people took more pride in their appearances back then.
Nick just say no to those boots!
I will be so glad when Mariah hires a new stylist. This dress looks lumpy. She needed Spanxx or some type of shapewear. I'm all for incorporating some glamour into your style but as usual Mrs. Carey Cannon is too much. If she was going to a party aboard a yacht this may have worked better but chilling on a yacht with your husband and twin toddlers may call for a more resort chic look. Her & Nick look like they are dressed for two different outings.
Omg, did y'all peep old boys haircut lls
why does Nick insist on dressing like a teenager?
I must agree with the other comments Mariah always gets it wrong , she should hire JLo stylist , i think she would do wonders for her. Outfit is wonderful but over the top.
Something just aint right with Ms Mariah
I stay away from these kinds of silhouettes because I'm simply not enough of an hourglass to pull them off. Mariah should do the same. She's a bit top-heavy and thick in the mid-section, and the column-like shape of the dress does nothing to balance her figure.
thats a big headed baby boy
I agree with @britnyinbusan….I think in Mariah's head she's still the smae ariah from 1995 LOL
oh Mariah! Always so formal…I appreciate the effort. But I have o say that I have never seen Mariah look bad in the face…all her pap pics are flawless.
@makeeasweet I agree, I get so tired of seeing people looking a hot mess and thinking its ok. I make it my business to always look presentable. It set me apart from the crowd
Man forget Mariah Carey KIM KARDASHIAN IS PREGNANT DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMNNNNNNN!!!!!
oh mariah…poor honey can not get it right.
She looks a mess. I wish you guys would stop posting about her. Lol
Why does Mariah have on those heels getting on that yacht! Chileeeeeee have you ever heard of safety first!
those two standing next to each other is hilarious.
This doesnt look right at all. Pretty dress worn to the wrong place.
Ok, so I agree with y'all! Mariah looks a mess! She has too much money for this foolishness!! Also Nick tie up your boots if u must wear them with skinny fit jeans! They are a match made in horrible style heaven. SMH but u gotta love them!!
NO!!! Mariah looks like a pig in a blanket!!!!
I had a dream that I was Mariah's stylist… lol. She really does need all the help she can get. This look is so over-the-top! Perhaps she's doing a performance on the yacht and needed to be extra glam.
Uhh, no. It does not flatter her figure at all.
There is nothing more that I can say about Mariah that hasn't already been said. What actually disturbed me more was Nick Cannon's attire! He goes from looking like a church deacon in those ill-fitted suits to a teenager from 2000. Please someone help him out!
lol. I have a feeling Mariah wears what makes her happy, she has looked like this for years. she is not a "fashionista" i dont think thats what she lives for. she is about the music. with that being said she looks a mess most of the time… she is a lovable mess
how funny is it that neither husband nor wife dress their age ! They are both in timewarps — but they have the cutest lil ones and I'm happy they found each other.
At a loss with the photos presented here…
I think her look is beyond over the top,more like over flop..I have her same figure and column dresses are a NO MAMi! big chest w/a thickish middle= flared dresses and a sweetheart neckline. :)
Nick? if you like old school wear Adidas Originals suits.lol
Babies,so cute I can't stand it..
I know this old but i had to comment yes the outfit is over the top and not very flattering to her figure but my problem is how inappropriate it is while she is spending time with her kids which happen to be toddlers, because of what she is wearing nick had to carry the kids and the bag and she had to be escorted on, its just not practical ,on the fashion front she's got great legs so a short column/ boxy dress in a silky fabric with statement jewelry and bedazzled flats would be glamorous but most importantly practical
I agree @ ChiChi I also want to add that is is dangerous she is wearing and floor length gown with these high heels walking on the dock, carrying a child in her hand…SMH she could have easily fell. Not a good look!
While the outfit is nice, she was very overdressed. I think she could have toned it down and still remained beautiful at the same time. This is so overdone.

High yields in clay or heavy soils. Uniform 6 to 8 inch long by 2 to 2-1/2 inch wide roots. Dark bright-orange flesh, nearly core-less. Danvers carrots are a best selling crop variety for home and market — stores well. Sweet and tender. (65-87 days) CERTIFIED ORGANIC
Each packet contains approximately 250 seeds.
Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Crops may be sown throughout spring and summer months at 2 to 3 week intervals, until about 1 month before first frost in fall. Sow thickly in rows 1 foot apart or broadcast in 1 to 1-1/2 inch wide raised beds. When tops are 1 to 2 inches tall thin plants to 2 inches apart.
Harvest at finger size for best texture and flavor. Watering prior to harvest makes pulling easier. Extend storage life by cutting off all but 1 inch of the leaves and stem. Do NOT store near apples or pears. These fruits produce a gas that will cause them to become bitter.

Dubai International Film Festival 2013
What you need to know about Dubai's blockbusting film event Discuss this article
In 2004 the inaugural Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) hosted just one world premiere. Now celebrating its tenth anniversary when the reels roll again from December 6-14, this year's festival will screen 70 films that have never seen a public projector before.
That's not the only thing that has swelled in size for this 170-film landmark edition – for the first time the festival will host two gala screenings on most days, meaning there are twice as many reasons to get dolled up and walk down the Madinat's red carpet. Speaking of the red carpet, this year's line-up is bursting at the seams with visiting talent: Martin Sheen, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Abigail Breslin and Irfann Khan are among those confirmed to attend.
Other additions for this anniversary festival include a new programme of free outdoor screenings hosted nightly at Burj Park, and the first Cinematic Innovations Summit, which will see 200 leading industry types, including Pixar co-founder Alvy Ray Smith and Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis, talk about the future of the medium at Atlantis The Palm, December 5-6.
Big screens and bigger names
The core of the festival is still the movies – of which there are a whopping 174 features, shorts and documentaries, drawn from 57 countries and in 43 languages, cherry picked from more than 3,500 submissions. That's 60 percent more than last year.
Among them are Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts drama August: Osage County, Labor Day starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, acclaimed biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and a closing night world premiere of David O'Russell's American Hustle, starring Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper.
Notably, there are more Arabic films than ever, with just over 100 in total – including the symbolic opening night screening of Palestinian hit Omar, which first premiered at Cannes in May. 'We decided to go back to our roots and celebrate Arabic cinema,' explains DIFF Chairman Abdulhamid Juma. 'We wanted to send a message – this is Dubai, not France or America.' The message seems to have got through loud and clear; for the first time the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be sending a delegation to review potential Oscar nominees.
Other dates for the diary include a commemorative gig from Arab superstar Amr Diab at Burj Park on December 6, the Dhs367,000 IWC Filmmaker Award on December 7, with Blanchett heading the jury for a second year running, and the star-studded Dubai Cares and Oxfam gala dinner on December 11, with Rooney Mara, Mark Ruffallo and Zac Efron expected to be on the guestlist. Oh, and if you've missed any of the previous festivals DIFF are celebrating the anniversary by making every film previously screened available on iTunes.
DIFF tickets
Paid-for screenings will this year take place at Madinat Arena, Madinat Theatre and Vox Cinema Mall of the Emirates, while there will also be free screenings in Burj Park. Paid screenings start from Dhs30 per film. Several movies will have multiple screenings – for a full schedule and to purchase tickets, visit www.diff.ae.By Rob Garratt

I have a problem trying to initialise my IOC container in a WCF application. The application is non HTTP based using WAS.
When I start the application I get this error message...
Kernel was null, did you forgot to call DefaultServiceHostFactory.RegisterContainer
I have seen other answers to this solution which say to do the following...
- Add a Factory definition to the ServiceHost definition e.g.
Factory="Castle.Facilities.WcfIntegration.DefaultServiceHostFactory, Castle.Facilities.WcfIntegration"
- Create a class in th App_Code folder with a static method called AppInitialize(). This method should then automatically be called and you can use it to register your container.
I have done this but my AppInitialize method is not called and I am still getting the error above.

One International Bank: Bridget tries to figure out Siobhan's ATM password, but it's no use. She finally approaches the teller, says she forgot her bank account PIN and would like to withdraw some money. The teller asks for her license and does a long, slow compare, then asks Bridget to come with her. But it's just because she's filthy rich, y'all. The bank manager likes to handle the monied customers, personally. He tells Bridget, "Special clients get special treatment." Bridget wants to withdraw the balance of her checking account. Mr. Atkins tells her there's not much in there. I think we'll want to know that for future reference -- not because of anything that happens in this episode, but just because the Martins live as if they're wealthy, so it seems curious Shiv's checking account would be so low that the bank manager wouldn't at least let "Shiv" decide if what's in there is enough.
Anyhow, he mentions the special account she set up with him a month ago, for "emergencies." Bridget smiles. "Does a shoe sale at Bergdorf's constitute an emergency?" Atkins laughs and Bridget is off in a flash with the cash. She gets in a cab and asks to go to the airport. She's no sooner on her way than she gets a call on Shiv's cell from Andrew's office. She ignores it and it goes to voice mail, but seconds later, it's ringing again. Bridget answers. It's Andrew. He asks if Juliet's home yet and once he learns she is and is "fine" in Bridget's world, he tells her his crisis du jour. A pipe burst at the venue, so he needs to book something on short notice. Bridget is all, "For..." Because she doesn't know about the cocktail party planned for that evening. Was it not in Shiv's orange magic dayplanner. Tsk tsk, Shiv. Of course, Andrew has decided to have the party at the unfinished loft where Dead Guy is currently resting, in relative peace, if (sadly) not in pieces. Bridget tries to argue with him, but Andrew won't take no for an answer. Besides, he's already sent the event planner over. Commercial.
Bridget doesn't take this opportunity to get the hell out of Dodge. No. She rushes back to the loft which is already full of the event staff, moving in chairs, rugs and whatnot. There's a fake out, where they're unrolling a rug just as Bridget enters. She yells, "Wait," sure that they're unwrapping Dead Guy, but nope, just a rug. Now, the event planner is not gay. He's ecstatic. As Bridget eyes the tarp wrapped lump in the corner that is Dead Guy, Ecstatic Event Planner (EEP) tells her she looks gorgeous as usual. "Per your suggestion, I went with a Titanic vibe, antiquated elegance, steamer trunks, violins, gin and tonics. It'll feel very Euro and travel-y and make people want to hand over their money. Do you like?" Bridget says she does and suggests they give the workers a break. EEP protests there's no time, but Bridget insists and hands him a wad of cash as she adds, "There's a bacon food truck downstairs and I'm buying." EEP: "Well, tempt me with trans-fats and I can't say no." Aren't trans-fats illegal in New York? And hey, bacon has its problems, but I don't think trans-fats are among them. I'm looking at you, nitrites. Deadly, delicious nitrites. Anyhow, EEP and crew take 20 minutes for lunch, leaving Bridget time to put dead guy in one of the huge steamer trunks. Now, it's only 20 minutes so there's sadly no way she had time to use that circular saw. How skinny little Bridget got Dead Guy in the trunk is beyond me, but I don't care with this kind of show. I'm just going with it. (Psssst. She can do it, because she's really Buffy.)

The 10 Biggest MLB Offseason Moves so Far and Their Impact
The 10 Biggest MLB Offseason Moves so Far and Their Impact
Usually when the MLB Winter Meetings arrive it is time for the MLB Offseason to really get started but that wasn't the case this season. There have been so many moves prior to the end of the calendar year that fans going into the New Year were left to wonder what else was left. There have been not only a lot of deals but a lot of impactful deals so far. Which of those impactful deals have been the biggest and what kind of impact have they had?
As of this writing there are still some big name free agents left. The biggest name left at this time is Nelson Cruz and certainly that will be a big move when someone lands him for the next few years. Shin-Soo Choo is off the market already as is Raul Ibanez. Ibanez going to the Los Angeles Angels is probably the biggest deal that didn't make this list. It might not be considered a very big deal but considering who they lost it could be huge.
There are others that didn't make the list for sure and if you think of one that was left off of this list be sure to comment about it below in the comments section. As it stands this will be the 10 biggest moves so far in the offseason of the 2014 season. They are ranked from 1 through 10 but each of them are big and impactful in their own way and effect a different few teams. Feel free to leave a comment below.

2013 MLB Winter Meetings: Minnesota Twins Continue Great Offseason
How Each MLB Team Can Win the 2014 MLB Offseason
10 – Texas Rangers Sign Shin-Soo Choo
Shin-Soo Choo is a Scott Boras client who did not end up demanding the absolute most money on the face of the Earth. I doubt Boras was that pleased with the situation but the Rangers ended up with a very positive addition to their club in what has been an uncertain offseason for many reasons. Choo is a good addition and should be a huge part of getting that offense going and keeping a good defensive outfield in shape.
9 – Baltimore Orioles Get but Let Go of Grant Balfour
This was one of those odd situations that doesn't come along very often. The Orioles were said to have signed Balfour all except for the physical making things official. A few other teams' doctors looked at Balfour's pitching arm and said he was fine but the O's staff didn't like it so they nixed the deal. Not only did this leave the Orioles without a closer still but it also puts a huge cloud of doubt over Balfour for the rest of the offseason and could drop his asking price.
8 – New York Yankees Sign Jacoby Ellsbury
The Yankees got more in Ellsbury than just the guy that performed well for the Red Sox in the World Series. Ellsbury is a very solid addition to the outfield for them in a time when they really need reliable everyday contributors. That is what Ellsbury is and he will significantly improve this line-up on a day to day basis perhaps more than any other player on the roster.
7 – Colorado Rockies Sign Justin Morneau
The Rockies had to have a replacement for the retired Todd Helton but couldn't really pay top dollar for the biggest name on the market. They settled beautifully on Morneau who was the biggest first baseman in the game just a few years ago, or at least one of the biggest. This is a huge deal for both sides because the Rockies have a chance to really get more from their first baseman if things go well for Morneau. If that happens then Morneau's career will be jumpstarted perfectly going into his next free agent season.
6 – Minnesota Twins Land Ricky Nolasco
The small market Twins have been anything but quiet and the loudest move they made was signing free agent Ricky Nolasco. While he might not be a Cy-Young favorite going into the season, you can be sure that the Twins took Nolasco right off of the wish-lists of many large market teams that needed starting pitching help. This was the move that let the world know the Twins were going to do more and try harder this year.
5 – Seattle Mariners Sign Robinson Cano
Just when it looked like Cano might need to consider dropping his asking price to something that was not quite as ridiculous as his original $300M price-tag, the Mariners jump in and give him a ton of cash. Considering the place Cano is in his career and his age, this was a deal that raised quite a few eyebrows around the league as there is no guarantee that the huge dollars paid to Cano will help him repeat his previous success or bring success to the team as a whole.
4 – Detroit Tigers Trade Prince Fielder
The Tigers pulled off a masterful move with the trading of Fielder to the Rangers. They rid themselves of a ton of money over a long period of time. In addition to that they brought in Ian Kinsler to fill a second base spot, moved Miguel Cabrera over to a safer place at first base and opened a hole for big prospect and rookie of the year 2014 candidate Nick Castellanos to fill. That's a pretty stinking good deal if you ask me.
3 – New York Yankees Sign Brian McCann
McCann quickly became known as the top free agent catcher on the market this offseason. The Yankees wasted little time in making sure they made him a priority. Before long they had him inked to a new deal and had him anointed as the next great Yankees catcher. This could be either the perfect deal for McCann or the perfect stumbling block for his career with the pressure being placed on him.
2 – Washington Nationals Trade for Doug Fister
Last season the Nats tried to complete their supposedly dominant starting rotation with Dan Haren. When that didn't work they went out this offseason and went after a guy that no one else knew was even available. In Fister the Nats should have their man to complete a dominant rotation at last. Of course they thought the same thing last season so we'll just have to wait and see.
1 – Arizona Diamondbacks Trade for Mark Trumbo
Many fans and experts thought Paul Goldschmidt should have won the NL MVP in 2013. Those people should be super-extra pumped about seeing Mark Trumbo line-up right next to him. The DBacks should be able to prop back and watch a historically good season if all goes well.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 04, 2013
An award winning trial lawyer long recognized for his triumphs in the civil court system has focused his attention on a larger battle that may save millions of young lives on roadways across the nation. Todays video premiere of "Just a Few Seconds" emphasizes the dangers of distracted driving while highlighting how the consequences of a single moment can instantly change the lives of countless others.
Attorney Joel Feldman, who suffered a personal tragedy as a result of distracted driving, will release the video today during a 10:00 a.m press conference at the Gardner Auditorium in the Massachusetts State House as part of his End Distracted Driving campaign. The nationwide effort has recruited about 500 trial lawyers and 100 professionals as volunteers to inform teens about the sobering statistics of a driving safety crisis in America. Tragedy cant be undone, but Feldman plans to help prevent it.
The documentary illustrates a heartbreaking story through a series of short and compelling interviews that follow two perspectives: a grieving daughter whose father was killed by a distracted driver, and the high school honors student who killed him when she looked away from the road for a moment. Both live every day with the knowledge that one thoughtless choice changed both their lives forever.

Need help picking exterior siding colour to complement red brick
Hi! We have undertaken a complete home makeover by adding an addition to the rear of our home to act as a new family room, gutted the main floor and are replacing all of our existing windows, soffit, facia, front door and garage door. But we need help with colours for the siding. We have always liked the look of board and batten and are considering the composite materials available to achieve this look. However, our existing brick colour is making the choice of siding colour difficult.
The brick is reddish with some darker bricks throughout, but is lighter than most bricks I have seen. We live in Ontario, and have all 4 seasons to contend with. We have ordered white windows but would like recommendations for siding colour, soffit and facia colour, colour for our garage door (match siding colour?) and a front door colour that will stand out. Please help us with this major decision.
A lot of companies making vinyl siding and the color names vary widely. That makes it hard to give a color without some reference to that specific color.
So here i am using Alside Vinyl Siding Colors as an example only.
If i were to pick colors of Alside with nothing more than photo of the brick to work with.
I would go with
Cap Cod Gray
Harbor Blue
Choosing brck and siding colour was very challenging for us too. I am not sure we got it right, but it might give you some ideas or help you see a red brick with a different siding colour. We chose Brampton Brick Crawford colour in small Queen size. We used a taupe (beige/greige colour) for the board and batten siding, with grey trim. The door is a fiberglass door stained to look like mahogany and there is real wood mahogany trim on the door (not fiberglass trim). Our house is not finished yet, but I have posted a picture where we used Photoshop to show the railing (imagine glass on the railing not mesh). The steps are stone steps and were not installed when picture was taken so we used Photoshop to show the steps too. Sorry, the picture is old, but it is the only one I have that shows what the railing will look like.
Now, your brick has some yellow in it that our brick does not. So, I would not recommend the same colour siding as ours. You could do a beige, but not one that has hints of red undertones like ours does. Grey would also be a colour to explore.
Best of luck deciding! You could also try looking at the Maibac website for ideas of different board and batten siding colours.
Thank you for the guidance. We had originally left it to our contractor to help with the material manufacturer, but are now taking a more active interest in this. We have settled on Maibec wood siding. However, we have found out that our house does not have wood strapping, so we are not able to do the board and batten without removing the existing fiberglass boards and wrapping in plywood which would be a significant cost increase.
Within the Maibec siding, we are considering either Ocean Grey or Pepperwood. We like the look of the darker stains, but are worried it might be too top heavy with the brick on the bottom. Here is another picture of our house, to give some perspective. We are considering the 6" rabbeted bevel, still with white trim. Not sure if we should use a different siding for the area above our second floor windows or add an architectural element to the peak.
Thank you Ontariomom and hippy for your thoughts! Ontariomom, your house is stunning!
Our siding is also Maibec. We also seriously considered Pepperwood and Ocean Grey, but went with a Cabot colour offered by Maibec called thatch. Our colour has more red in it which seemed a good idea at the time (not sure now). We ordered 6 wood samples from Maibec and those you are considering were two of the 6 we ordered. Our window trim is Lamosite (a grey colour). I think I would lean towards Ocean Grey for you, but really hard to know without seeing the wood samples against your brick, shingles etc. Maybe if you order in samples from Maibec you could post the options for votes from GW.
Also wanted to add that I would match your garage door colour to the siding. Ours will be painted to match our siding (it is close now just because Garaga had a very similar colour) but it is a bit off so we will fix that. Also, we got our door from Doorway Inc in Burlington ON (I am guessing close to you?) which may be worth considering for the front door (their price was very reasonable too). I love our door as it looks very much like wood to me.

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I've been thinking about this for a while - and you can find out more about my reasons after the jump - but for now, I'm going to put That Figures on an indefinite hiatus.
As regular readers have probably noticed, the posting quota around here has been pretty light for the last few weeks. Put simply, I'm just not enjoying this blog any more. Whether it's due to the lack of anything to really blog about (most of the toy lines I collect have either been cancelled or are now - for some utterly baffling reason - nigh-on impossible to find at retail) or the fact that after doing this for so many years the novelty has worn off, I don't know. Whatever the reasons, I'm simply not having as much fun researching and reviewing toys in the way I used to a year or so ago.
It's also become increasingly disappointing over the last year or so that the site's audience numbers have stagnated and, without sounding mercenary about it, the amount of time I invest in running the blog simply doesn't give a big enough return in terms of the interest it generates. I know it's not all about numbers but it's also somewhat disheartening to be what feels like an unheard voice in the wilderness (and no, this isn't a sympathy post either!)
I'd like to give a shout out to the many, many people I've ''met'' during my time running this blog, too many to mention but you all know who you are, and to everybody that's supported That Figures over the last few years. It's been great chatting to fellow collectors and to toy creators around the world and if there's one thing I'm going to miss about running the blog, it's the conversations, feedback and toy-related funkiness.
My plan is to keep the site as it is right now and, maybe, a few months down the line I may feel the urge to return and pick up where I left off. From the blog stats it's pretty obvious that the site keeps ticking over with a fairly constant number of visitors (regardless of whether I post anything or not) so we'll see how that pans out.
In the meantime, I've been working on a new project - one utterly unrelated to toy collecting - that I plan on updating sporadically, as and when I'm inspired to do so, but if you'd like to read my attempts at comedy (some of which isn't suitable for children or the easily offended), then feel free to check out my satirical TV guide, Dfinite.
Thanks and Happy Toy Hunting!

Addictive and action-packed
Totally loving this song. My only complaint is that the first and second half feel like they could be fleshed out into two separate songs. Which would both be totally awesome!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great stuff!
This is one of the best songs that I have heard on this site in a long time. I was impressed at how you paced the song very well for two and a half minutes and had a nice, optimistic tone to it. There were a lot of instruments being used, and I liked the gong and the guitar strings (or whatever those were). It did well in giving the listener a feeling of Oriental things. While it may have gotten repetitive after awhile, the goods definitley outweigh the bads. While I don't have flash, it would be great if something decided to animate this.

Transplanting / Dividing Perennial Salvia
I have just attempted to divide and transplant what I believe to be Perennial Blue Salvia. The shoots are approximately 12 inches long and since I dug them out to transplant them 3 days ago,most of the shoots are drooping or wilting. Should these perk up or is there something I could / should do?
They've had plenty of water and shade the first couple of days after transplanting because we've had rain and little sunshine. They do seem to be looking a little better today. The next day or so is supposed to be sunny so do I need to shade them somehow? Does it matter how far I prune them back?
My gardening buddy has pulled up lots of black&blue sage, bog sage and other perennials over the years to share with me. I find that maximum survival rate is obtained by potting the plants (not individually;I just gather bunches of stalks of the same kind)and setting them in the shade and keeping them watered for maybe a week. By that time, they've recovered from the shock and are all perked up. You can then separate them or leave them in bunches and plant them in the garden.

A major headache�that�s what a worn-out engine will give you since it pretty much renders your vehicle useless. When an automotive owner is faced with this problem, the solution that he normally comes up with is to scrap his old car altogether and just get a new one instead. However, not all automotive owners go for that option. Some choose to keep their cars for various reasons and opt to replace the engine instead. And because you�re reading this, you may be in the same boat. An engine replacement may not be the easier path, but if you truly love your old car, then this is the only way that you can drive it again.
Short Block and Long Block Engines: What�s the Difference?
When you�re looking for a replacement engine, you�d have to decide between getting a short block or a long block assembly. Short block and long block engines are practically alike when it comes to dimensions. The main difference between them lies in the number of parts that they�re composed of. As you can perhaps gather from its name, a short block engine contains fewer parts than long block engines. Yes, a short block engine still consists of pistons, rods, the crankshaft, and everything else that�s considered part of the engine block. However, the cylinder head isn�t included in that assembly. On the other hand, a long block engine is made up of all the components that are available in a short block engine plus the cylinder head. Needless to say, the long block engine is the more complete engine assembly. For that reason, long block engines are more expensive than their short block counterparts.
The Big Question: Go Short or Go Long?
Let�s make this simple, eh?
Reasons to go for short block engines:
- All you need is a new engine block
- You want to save cash and use your old cylinder head (given that it�s still in good condition)
- You want to optimize performance and apply a little customization (you can pair the engine block with parts of your choosing)
Reasons to go for long block engines:
- If practically all of your engine components need a replacement
- Go for this if you don�t have faith in your DIY skills as a long block engine is easier to install than a short block engine
