Did you know?
Port Alfred markets Old Four Legs Beer, named after the fossil fish called the coelacanth.
Back in the 1820s, when Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape was known as Port Frances, a settler's daughter had this to say about the little seaside settlement: 'It is the loneliest, barrenest village imaginable, not above a dozen houses and these, small cottages of rough stone with thatched roofs.'
Nearly 200 years later, modern-day Port Alfred is nothing less than the big diamond in the Eastern Cape's tourism crown. Even though it still has the charm and feel of a small village by the sea, Port Alfred and its offerings will keep you enthralled.
There are sections of Port Alfred that are true to the most seductive postcard settings: long swathes of beaches, a picture-perfect marina with its colourful mansions and slipways and the lazy old Kowie River that meanders inland to the nearby boundaries of Bathurst, the neighbouring village with the slightly hippy medieval vibe.
As it sits plumb in the middle of the Sunshine Coast, Port Alfred enjoys the mild weather of a typically sub-tropical zone. The waters of the Indian Ocean are forgivingly warm and the reefs off Port Alfred provide great diving spots. In fact, if you're even slightly water-crazy, Port Alfred will have you canoeing up the Kowie, kite-sailing on the beach, signing up with the local dive school for courses, water-skiing on the river, whale-watching from a licensed boat or heading out into deep waters for some ocean fishing.
In fact, with the presence of a number of top game reserves in the area, Port Alfred is now being marketed as a 'Big Eight' destination, where you might be lucky enough to see lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalos, elephants, dolphins, sharks and whales.
Then there's the Gary Player golf course over at the Fish River Sun about 20 minutes' drive from Port Alfred and, for those with a love of the open skies, there's South Africa's premier flight training venue: 43 Air School. This legendary centre has 60 training aircraft, and the same number of flying instructors. This is where future airline-, air force- and commercial pilots come to train in idyllic coastal surrounds.
The latest exciting development in Port Alfred is in Wharf Street, which has become the exclusive shopping centre of the village. Here you encounter a fishery, fruit market, pub, brewery, theatre, restaurant and antique store. Even more outlets and arcades are being built.
Port Alfred has certainly gone from being the 'loneliest, barrenest village imaginable' to a rocking little seaport with world-class features.

Ran across a good deal on some beef ribs last week, so I picked up a few packs for the freezer. Had a few hours to kill, so I thought I'd cook some up quick over higher heat.
Threw a rack on the grill at about 300 degrees. Cooked them 2 hours, then foiled them with mop sauce for about 1 hour. Unwrapped them (tons of juice) and back on the grill, getting basted with sauce for 1 hour.
Texture turned out great. Firm, yet you could easily pull a bone out. Just how I like them.
But the meat seemed greasy.. Otherwise they tasted great.
Is this normal for beef ribs ??
Because I cooked them hot and fast ???
Cheap cuts of meat ???

21 May 2012
Most teams have now played between 40-42 games, so we're now pretty much at the quarter point in the season. If Wins Above Replacement was to select the American League All-Star squad at this point in time, what would that team look like*?
*For the purposes of this post, I'm going to average the WAR values as reported on FanGraphs and Baseball-Reference.
Before I get to the picks, here's my selection process: I wanted to mimic last year's roster composition of 21 hitters and 13 pitchers. For hitters, I selected the top two players in WAR at each position to have a starter and a reserve (I selected a second reserve at the catcher position). I then filled out the hitter portion of the roster (the last two spots) by selecting the two highest WAR players that ranked third at their position. For pitchers, I copied last year's mix of eight starters and five relievers, and selected accordingly (players with both starting and relief appearances were classified as starters).
I'll start with the hitters:
C – Matt Wieters, Baltimore – 1.45 WAR
1B – Paul Konerko, Chicago – 2.00 WAR
2B – Robinson Cano, New York – 1.80 WAR
3B – Brett Lawrie, Toronto – 2.00 WAR
SS – Elvis Andrus, Texas – 1.95 WAR
OF – Josh Hamilton, Texas – 3.50 WAR
OF – Austin Jackson, Detroit – 2.65 WAR
OF – Adam Jones, Baltimore – 2.15 WAR
DH – David Ortiz, Boston – 1.30 WAR
There aren't really many surprises here, with the exception of probably Brett Lawrie of the Blue Jays. He's only been an average hitter this season (maybe even a tick below), but he rates incredibly well on defense. Austin Jackson also gets a lot of value from his plus-defense, but he's currently third among AL outfielders in wOBA, so he's provided enough offense to be a legitimate member of this list.
C – Carlos Santana, Cleveland – 1.35 WAR
C – Joe Mauer, Minnesota – 1.15 WAR
1B – Adrian Gonzalez, Boston – 0.90 WAR
2B – Kelly Johnson, Toronto – 1.70 WAR
2B – Dustin Pedroia, Boston – 1.65 WAR
3B – Mike Moustakas, Kansas City – 1.90 WAR
SS – Mike Aviles, Boston – 1.80 WAR
SS – Asdrubal Cabrera, Cleveland – 1.70 WAR
OF – Josh Reddick, Oakland – 1.60 WAR
OF – Matt Joyce, Tampa Bay – 1.60 WAR
OF – Mike Trout, Los Angeles – 1.40 WAR
DH – Adam Dunn, Chicago – 1.20 WAR
I find a lot of the names on this list to be surprising, but that's not to say these guys don't deserve recognition. The third base fan vote will likely be won by Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Cabrera, or Adrian Beltre (and the others could very well find roster spots as well), but Mike Moustakas as out-hit them all to date.
The big surprise is how "bad" the first base group has been in the American League so far this year. Adrian Gonzalez won the reserve spot here, but he has the lowest WAR of the bunch. Prince Fielder comes in third, all the way down at 0.65 WAR, and Albert Pujols is nowhere to be found.
SP – Justin Verlander, Detroit – 2.75 WAR
SP – Jake Peavy, Chicago – 2.45 WAR
SP – Jered Weaver, Los Angeles – 1.60 WAR
SP – Jason Hammel, Baltimore – 1.35 WAR
SP – Felix Hernandez, Seattle – 1.35 WAR
SP – Yu Darvish, Texas – 1.35 WAR
SP – Derek Lowe, Cleveland – 1.30 WAR
SP – Brandon Morrow, Toronto – 1.30 WAR
RP – Alexi Ogando, Texas – 1.05 WAR
RP – Ryan Cook, Oakland – 0.90 WAR
RP – Pedro Strop, Baltimore – 0.90 WAR
RP – Fernando Rodney, Tampa Bay – 0.80 WAR
RP – Jim Johnson, Baltimore – 0.80 WAR
Justin Verlander looks to be in line to be named the American League starting pitcher. He may have to beat Josh Hamilton back with a stick if he hopes to win back-to-back MVP awards, but he's probably in his own class right now when it comes to starting pitchers.
As far as relievers go, WAR obviously doesn't care much for the save statistic. Only two of the five relief pitchers selected are their team's regular closer.
I didn't necessarily intend for this to happen, but each of the 14 teams ended up with a player represented on this list. The surprising winner was Baltimore with five players, and the losers were Seattle, Kansas City, Minnesota, and New York with only one player each.
An All-Star Game with only one Yankee? Wouldn't we all love to see that!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal regulators revealed Tuesday that they believe a faulty computer program led them not to send Massey Energy a "pattern of violations" warning letter late last year for the company's Upper Big Branch Mine, where 29 workers died in a massive underground explosion last week.
U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration officials said the computer system, in use since 2007, missed eight "unwarrantable failure" enforcement orders, any one of which would have placed Upper Big Branch in line for the MSHA warning letter.
Greg Wagner, deputy assistant labor secretary for MSHA, said the Raleigh County operation was the only one of the more than 2,000 coal mines nationwide impacted by the "computer programming error." Wagner conceded "it's a low probability" that the programming error would have affected only the one coal mine that blew up a few months later.
In the wake of the Upper Big Branch deaths -- the worst U.S. coal mining disaster in 40 years -- national media and safety advocates have questioned why MSHA did not shut down the mine, given indications of growing safety problems there.
Under federal law, MSHA generally does not have broad authority to simply close a troubled coal mine unless it seeks a federal court injunction to stop anything its inspectors believe "constitutes a continuing hazard to the health and safety of miners."
But on its own authority and without going to court, MSHA can issue what the law calls "withdrawal orders" that force all miners to be removed from areas until significant hazards are eliminated.
Citing a mine for a pattern of violations, though, kicks the operation into a much tougher enforcement bracket. Each time an additional serious citation is issued, that part of the mine is closed. Mines can have the pattern of violations designation lifted only if they go an entire quarterly inspection without a serious violation.
Last week, MSHA officials said that during a September 2009 review, Upper Big Branch met nine of 10 agency "screening criteria" for the warning letter.
But, they said, the operation did not have on its record a final order citing the company for "unwarrantable failure" to comply with safety rules. Upper Big Branch had received 16 such orders during the two-year period examined by MSHA, but appeals of all of them were pending, agency officials said.
Wagner said, though, that the computer error "did not have an impact on this tragedy."
Under internal MSHA policy, mines that meet the agency's pattern of violations screening guidelines receive warning letters, rather than actual pattern of violations orders.
The warning letters give the mines 90 days to improve or face receiving the actual pattern of violation orders. Upper Big Branch had received a warning letter two years earlier, in 2007, but improved its record and avoided a formal enforcement order.
If a warning letter had been issued following the 2009 review, Massey would still have avoided a formal order because the company cut its serious safety violations by 65 percent during the next 90 days, Wagner said.
"Even if the pattern of violation had been discovered, the Upper Big Branch Mine would not have been placed on a pattern of violations," Wagner said during a phone interview Tuesday afternoon.
For several years, mine safety advocates have argued against the use of the warning letters -- which are not required by federal law or formal regulations -- saying MSHA should not give operators so many chances to avoid mine closures.
On Monday evening, Kentucky mine safety lawyer Tony Oppegard and Wes Addington of the Appalachian Citizens Law Center wrote a letter that urged MSHA chief Joe Main to revoke the agency's current policies.
"Indeed, the extensive and flagrant violation history of the Upper Big Branch mine makes clear that that mine should have been "placed on a pattern" long before the recent disaster," Oppegard and Addington said.
"Had MSHA used this enforcement tool as Congress intended, the mine would have received the stricter scrutiny that might have prevented the disaster."
On Tuesday, Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., joined House Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif., in seeking a Labor Department Inspector General review of MSHA's use of its "pattern of violations" order authority and of the computer glitch cited in the Upper Big Branch case.
In a statement, Rahall, Miller and House Workforce Protections Subcommittee Chairwoman Lynn Woolsey called the MSHA announcement of the computer problem "deeply disturbing."
"In light of this disclosure, we will be asking the Labor Department's Inspector General to examine issues surrounding this disclosure," the statement said. "The miners who died so tragically at the Upper Big Branch Mine, their families, and all the men and women who go to work in our mines each day deserve nothing less."

LOS ANGELES - Houston native Beyoncé and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, are among the latest public figures to have their private information posted for all the world to see on a website. The site includes Social Security numbers, credit reports, addresses and phone numbers of the singer and a number of other high-profile celebrities and officials.
Click2Houston.com has chosen to not publish the website url whose Internet suffix was originally assigned to the Soviet Union. The website, which touts itself as Exposed – The Secret Files – features a headline on its homepage that reiterates The Secret Files. A subheading then boasts "If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve." The homepage photo is of a ghostly looking girl holding her finger to her lips.
Many of the subsequent pages feature unflattering pictures or taunting messages of the person featured. Others whose information is posted include pop star Britney Spears, Attorney General Eric Holder, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Both the FBI and the Secret Service said Tuesday they were investigating the site.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said he had "no assessments to offer" on the situation and referred questions to the Secret Service, which wouldn't provide further details.
The site grew from 11 names to 18 in the first 24 hours since it became public, with its operator adding additional features to count the number of visitors and a link to a Twitter account. It offers no explanation about why the targets were selected or how the information was obtained. The Twitter account includes an anti-police message in Russian.
Social Security numbers posted on Jay-Z, Mel Gibson and others matched records in public databases. Social Security numbers are not public records, although they were previously included in some court filings. Many courts require the information be redacted from filings since the numbers can be used to steal a person's identity and open credit accounts in their name.

"I was able to pick the color and font that I wanted. Loved that I could personalize with my own picture. Magnets are a great way to help ensure that people don't discard them. The quality was amazing. People loved them! Wonderful product, everything I expected and more."
"We used a colorful print that had grey background hues, which complemented the text box portion of this card well. The designer helped us center our image and optimize it for printing. We are very happy with our purchase and can't wait to send these out! As others have said, keep in mind that these post cards are on the small side, but we knew that going in and thus got what we expected."
"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."
"This was delivered quickly with the highest quality paper! The design was fantastic and was exactly what we wanted. This simple yet classy save the date is sure to impress our guest."
"Love that it wasnt too big and can fit on the side of the fridge nicely (if you have a stainless steel fridge). Love it."

Futaba ~ Akemi Tananka
Translated from Japanese, Futaba means double leaves sprout from one seed. Futaba lives up to is name with dual functionality - transforming from a coffee table to a love seat. The only thing I don't like about this lovely bench/table is the green fabric of the cushion (but that's personal). No problem... it's removable and so I guess easy to replace by something better. This table is so nicely made from bamboo plywood and so smart for a small place.

spinal cord injury (SCI). This is because you may not
be able to use some of the muscles necessary for breathing, or they may be very

ESPN New York reported today that Jose Reyes will move back to the leadoff spot in the batting order for tonight's game against the Marlins. Angel Pagan will bat third.
The move is probably to change things up a bit as the Mets' offense has been stagnant over the past few games. The Mets have only scored seven runs in the past seven games and have lost each game. They are now four games out of first place and are tied with the Marlins. They are just one game ahead of the once-reeling Braves.
Reyes did not produce enough in the third hole. He hit way too many balls in the air and didn't drive in the number of runs a typical No. 3 hitter would.
What do you think of this move?

THE graves of two First World War heroes from Burnley are to included in a project which aims to restore the final resting places of Victoria Cross recipients.
Private Thomas Whitham, from the Coldstream Guards, and Second Lieutenant Hugh Colvin, from the Cheshire Regiment, will have their graves restored to their former glory as part of a national £100,000 project.
Headstones will be cleaned or replaced so that the graves are a fitting tribute to their sacrifice.
2Lt Colvin, who is buried in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, received the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in September 1917.
He managed to capture a number of prisoners near Ypres, in Belgium, despite losing all the fellow officers of his company, and all but one in the leading company.
Born in Worsthorne, Pte Whitham was awarded the Victoria Cross in July 1917 and is buried at the Inghamite Burial Ground, in Nelson.
He received the honour for his bravery during an attack at Pilckem, near Ypres. During the attack an enemy machine-gun was seen to be enfilading the battalion on the right, but Pte Whitham, despite being under heavy fire, managed to capture it, together with an officer and two other ranks.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said: "An entire generation of men fought for Britain's freedom in the First World War and all fought valiantly.
"But for hundreds of those men their bravery was of such an exceptional nature they were bestowed with the highest military award, the Victoria Cross.
"As these men were honoured then for their extreme bravery on the battlefields, they should be honoured still.
"That is why I am privileged to offer more than £100,000 towards this project to ensure that their final resting places are venerated memorials where communities can pay their respects and learn about their local heroes."

Did you know?
Segway tours are also available at the Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium, Grabouw in the Western Cape and at the Spier Estate in Stellenbosch.
An uber-cool Segway tour is definitely the most fun-filled way to explore the length and breadth of South Africa's premier playground, Sun City.
The Segway Personal Transporter is a two-wheeled, self-balancing transport device manufactured in the United States. The beauty of riding one of these sci-fi modes of transport is that it takes only a few minutes for a coach to teach you all the manoeuvres you need to enjoy the glide of your life.
There's a choice of tours for up to 10 individuals, all of which have been designed to take visual advantage of the surrounding Pilanesberg mountains and the wildlife. Select from a golf tour, a lake tour and an off-road glide. Time-wise, the tours range from 45 minutes to two hours. Children under the age of 10 are not permitted on the on-road glides, and those under 13 are not permitted on the off-road route.
If you're a golfer, the 45-minute golf course glide around the world-renowned Gary Player Country Club should not be missed. The tour provides a great overview of the Nedbank Golf Challenge course, weaving around pristine gardens, stunning lakes and lush fairways, where you're likely to see vervet monkeys at play.
An extension to the golf course glide is the lake glide, the longest on-road tour, which takes riders to animal world, the birds of prey centre and the scenic Sun City lake.
If more challenging terrain sounds tempting, try a specially adapted off-road Segway tour along the Pilanesberg National Park fence line, where you might be fortunate enough to spot one of the Big Five. This route offers a tour of two of the country's top golf courses, indigenous wildlife viewing and a visit to the crocodile pit!

Browse and register for related classes.
Tape occlusion is an inexpensive method of wart removal that involves
covering the wart with tape. It is often called the "duct tape" method.
While covering a wart with tape may help it go away, research studies don't show clear proof that using duct tape helps to clear up warts more quickly than they would if left alone.footnote 1
Using duct tape for warts is probably safe. But if your skin is very thin or fragile, be very careful when removing the tape.
If you're not sure whether a skin growth is a wart, it's best to see a health professional.

text: Imam Jaffar bin Muhammed (as) was the grandson of Hazrat Hussein. Under his other name of Imam Jaffar Sadik he provided much important information about Hazrat Mahdi (as) and said that people all over the world would be able to listen to statements made by Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the light of verses of the Qur'an and the hadiths of our Prophet (saas). It is even clear from this statement by Imam Jaffar Sadik that people will make use of developing communications technology in listening to Hazrat Mahdi (as). Because, as Jaffar Sadik says, in order for people to be able to listen to Hazrat Mahdi (as) they must make use of internet technology and his words must be translated simultaneously into their own languages over television and the internet. In this way, people all over the world will be able to listen to Hazrat Mahdi (as) in their own languages. (Allah knows the truth)

Wharfedale Brewery, housed at the back of the Flying Duck Brewpub in Ilkley, launched a new tourist attraction at the weekend which aims to benefit businesses in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Ales Way – Wharfedale's Ale Trail – takes real ale lovers on a journey from Ben Rhydding to Hubberholme, encompassing 15 of Yorkshire's most iconic pubs, the vast majority of which can be reached via the Pride of the Dales bus services which the brewery sponsors.
Visitors to each will receive a stamp when they order a pint of Wharfedale Blonde, Best or Black. When they have collected ten stamps they will be given a free Ales Way t-shirt. They will also be invited to be entered into a "Hall Of Fame". Should they manage to visit all 15 pubs on the ale trail they will also receive a souvenir box set of two bottles of beer and a Wharfedale Brewery branded pint glass.
Marketing director Jonathan Shepherd said: "I hope The Ales Way will capture the imagination of the public and become an exciting new tourist attraction throughout the Upper Wharfedale district.
"We have been overwhelmed by the fantastic support we have received from such wonderful pubs and hope to repay them by bringing them increased footfall, which in turn should mean extra sales for us.
"Whilst encouraging more people to visit the pubs and use the bus company, the ale trail is intended to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace which should allow people plenty of time to patronise the many wonderful little shops, café's and restaurants as well."
The Trail starts with the Wheatley Arms in Ben Rhydding, the Flying Duck in Ilkley and the Crown in Addingham, before moving up river to the New Inn and the Craven Arms at Appletreewick, the Red Lion at Burnsall, the Clarendon Hotel at Hebden, the Grassington House Hotel, the Foresters Arms and Devonshire Hotel in Grassington, before moving across to the Fountaine Inn at Linton, then onto the Gamekeeper's Inn at Threshfield, the Blue Bell Inn at Kettlewell, the Buck Inn at Buckden finishing at the George Inn at Hubberholme.
The Ales Way website, thealesway.com, features useful information including bus timetables, pub opening and food serving times, a map of the route, as well as tasting notes on the brewery's beers and details of how to claim ale trail souvenirs.

ANDREW GALE believes a lack of rhythm to his batting has been the reason for a barren run of form in Twenty20 cricket.
The Yorkshire captain scored his first 20-over 50 in a little over two years earlier this week, a 51-ball 55 in a win over Leicestershire at Headingley on Tuesday.
In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the left-handed opener had scored ten half-centuries with a best of 70, and he was one of the county's most prolific run getters in the game's shortest format.
Since hitting 70, ironically against Leicester at Headingley in June 2012, his form has hit the buffers.
In the 17 innings between his fifties against the Foxes, he had not reached 40.
"Twenty20 has always been my forte, and it's the one I've probably excelled in more than any other," said Gale, pictured above.
"For whatever reason, I've just lacked some rhythm in my batting. My Championship form of late has felt really good. It has felt free-flowing."
He added: "T20 is one of those games where you need to get some momentum, and I seem to have been hitting the fielders and all the catches have gone to hand.
"I did have a little chat with Martyn Moxon and Jason Gillespie about some little things that I've probably changed for the better in Championship cricket that haven't worked for me in Twenty20 cricket. It's getting the balance right, really."
Yorkshire are back in LV= County Championship action against Durham at Headingley on Monday.

A van driver has admitted causing death by dangerous driving which led to a fatal three-vehicle crash on the A35 last summer.
David Churcher, 32, pleaded guilty to one count of causing the death of 49-year-old Stephen Fawcett by driving a Ford Transit van dangerously, relating to a crash between three vans near Bridport on August 19, 2013.
Churcher, of Singleton Drive, Bournemouth, also pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis on the same date.
Mr Fawcett, who was driving an Express Blinds van died at the scene, outside Woodlands Farm, near Uploders.
Churcher was cut free from his cab by firefighters before being airlifted from the scene by the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and taken to Southampton Hospital. A third man, a 48-year-old from the Wareham area driving a silver Volkswagen Transporter, suffered minor injuries and was taken by ambulance to hospital in Dorchester.
The collision happened past the old Travellers Rest, two miles east of Bridport.
There was major traffic disruption as the A35 between Bridport and the Monkeys Jump roundabout in Dorchester was closed for several hours to allow police, firefighters and paramedics to work safely at the scene.
Heavy traffic was diverted for miles around the area while lighter vehicles used the coast road.
At Bournemouth Crown Court on Monday, he was told to expect a lengthy prison sentence by Judge Peter Johnson.
"A lengthy custodial sentence is inevitable, as is a length period of disqualification which starts today," he said.
Representing Churcher, Les Smith said the defendant had entered his guilty pleas at the earliest opportunity to 'relieve the anxieties' of Mr Fawcett's family.
Mr Smith called for the case to be adjourned for medical reports to be prepared.
"He is still under supervision at the brain injury unit at Poole Hospital. He has a brain stem injury," he said, adding that his client currently has difficulty seeing.
Judge Johnson adjourned the case for sentencing on August 15 and Churcher was released on bail on condition that he co-operate with the probation service.

Landscape Through Time and Space
Landscape photography began as a document, with early photographers wanting to show their audiences what a place looked like. While the camera verifies aspects of reality, it can also express the artistry of the person holding the camera. Oftentimes a landscape picture becomes a thing of beauty, particularly if the hotographer is sensitive to the conventions of landscape painting. Through the use of light, composition, timed exposures, and development, we see not only the details of a particular place, but how it felt for the photographer to be there.
Some photographers manipulate the landscape to create abstract imagery or scenes that challenge the imagination. Partially grounded in reality, these photographs incorporate new vantage points (aerial views) or internal ruminations (fantasy). The finished product often combines history and process to create an alternative approach to viewing the landscape.
Landscape photographs can be windows to our world. The images in this section portray various marks humankind has made on the landscape. Though some of these places lack in human presence, the drastic impact of humankind on the landscape is unavoidable and profound. The building of railroads, dams, power plants, and golf courses have forever altered the landscape. Tranquil views of mountains and streams have been replaced with sites of toxic waste and garbage. Some contemporary photographers have become messengers for the land; their harsh truths expose a landscape that has been changed, perhaps for all time.
Funding for this project was provided by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and a donation from PhotoWings.

The Loan
A wealthy but thrifty man is applying for a loan at a bank. The man says that he would like to take out a $1,000 loan, and that to save paperwork he would like to just leave his BMW with the bank as collateral. The loan officer thinks that it is odd that such a wealthy man would take out such a small loan, but sees no reason to reject the loan.
A month later the man returns, pays off the loan in full (plus a month's interest), and is returned his car. Why did he take out this loan?
AnswerThe man, who is quite thrifty (and clever) was going on a month-long trip overseas and didn't want to pay a parking fee for that time. He got the bank to hold his car for the entire month for about $6 (assuming 7% interest).

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Greetings Michael Kay! Greetings Ken Singleton! Greetings YES Network! Agreed, Mr. Kay; it is a wonderful day for the wonderful sport of baseball! In particular, it's a beautiful day for New York Yankees baseball!
Ahh, the sun is shiny! I feel so excited and refreshed. We're facing the Oakland Athletics today, so there shouldn't be too much to worry about. We also have Phil Hughes on the mound for our team. Hughes is an excellent young pitcher, and he's won his last 4 games.
I look forward, most of all, to A-Rod having an impact today. A-Rod is, of course, an excellent hitter. Last night he went 3-for-4 with 5 RBIs, including a home run! Isn't that exciting? I think that's exciting!
A-Roid has 13 home runs and May isn't even over! That spells 50 homers again, doesn't it?
edit A-Ro(i)d's First At Bat
Hughes had a 1-2-3 first, which is good. There are now 2 runners on with one out and Chad Gaudin is pitching. Guess who's coming to the plate? A-Rod is! YAAAAY!
The first pitch is a strike. A 93 MPH fastball on the inside corner. I'd let that go too.
2nd pitch is a strike as well. Another fastball, this one 92 near the middle of the plate. I'd swing too, but hey, A-Rod is A-Rod!
Oof. He struck out. It looked like a splitter there. That was a good pitch, going into the dirt and everything. It was pretty hard to hit. Gaudin has good stuff. How else do you strike out such a majestic hitter such as Alex Rodriguez?
I'm looking at the replay, and I see why he swung and missed. That looked like a fastball and dipped.
edit A-Ro(i)d's Second At Bat
It's 6-0 Yankees; Cano rocks; and they knocked Gaudin out of the game. Joey Devine, the sidearmer, is pitching and guess who's taking his second hacks! That's right; the Super Slugger, Mr. Moneyball, Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez! Alex struck out his first time and looks to redeem himself. This pitcher, Joey Devine, seems like the perfect pitcher to serve a homer to Alex.
The first pitch to A-Rod and-- what's this? A popup? Oh, A-Rod, how could you?
A high fastball out of the strike zone! What're you doing swinging at the first pitch? It wasn't even a strike! Come on, Alex! You're so much better than this. I'm disappointed.
On the other hand, it was a tricky pitch coming out of the pitcher's hand, considering this pitcher has an odd throwing motion. It looked good until it was too late.
What's with all the boos over there at Yankee Stadium? Seriously, every hitter goes into a slump at some point. Besides, Alex has 2 or 3 more times to hit!
edit A-Rod's Fielding Error
It was a hard hit ball. A-Rod put his glove down, but...
That was a fairly easy play to make, Mr. Rodriguez. Seriously, you put your glove down, grab the ball, and throw to first for the out. Come on...
My faith in Alex Rodriguez is slowly but surely deteriorating. PLEASE, A-Rod, give me a sign that you're not slumping! This newfound slump is awakening an anger in me that has been locked away for years now.
edit A-Ro(i)d's 3rd At Bat
Bases are empty right now. It's 10 to 0 Yankees; Phil Hughes has struck out 10 batters, Jeter had a two-run double, Abreu hit a home run... but that isn't important. What's important is that A-Rod erases his non-hit night with a hit. The whole crowd must be nervous... as I am right now.
Alan Embree, a lefty, is on the mound. He's got a good fastball, but if he hangs a change-up or something, or throws a high fastball A-Rod can HIT IT!
First pitch is a strike. It was a good pitch; besides, no-one wants to make a first pitch out.
Second pitch is another fastball, fouled off. He looks really focused, I think he's gonna hit a home run very soon!
How do you take THAT pitch? A slider almost RIGHT down the middle of the plate. Geez... A-Rod's officially slumping. Call the cops, go tell it on the mountain, whatever. A-Rod is 0-for-3!
edit A-Ro(i)d's 4th At Bat
He might not have hits in his last 3 at bats, but in this 4th one, he's gonna get a hit. I just know it; there's a runner on 3rd base and only 1 out. There's no way he's not gonna get a hit. He's such an amazing hitter in clutch situations!
First pitch from the new pitcher Santiago Casilla is a fastball for a strike. Geez... I have a worse feeling now. Come on A-Rod, we're pulling for you...
...SHOOT!HE CAUGHT THE LINE DRIVE! Why would you even THINK of doing that to A-Rod, the Super Slugger, Alexander the Great, Mr. Moneyball, the Prince of Big Flies, the Second Sultan of Swat, ALEX RODRIGUEZ?!

Projects on MBTA Surplus Property
The T is currently involved in several TOD projects. For more information about TOD opportunities with the MBTA, please contact Massachusetts Realty Group at 617-316-1654 or email through their website.
Wonderland Station - Revere, MA
Location / Site Description
Fronting on Ocean Avenue and footsteps from Revere Beach, the property consists of three separate publicly owned parcels totaling approximately nine (9) acres and one additional privately owned parcel, all located immediately adjacent to the Wonderland Station. Pending commencement of development construction the site will continue to be used for surface parking, patronized by commuters and summer beachgoers.
The site offers sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and Boston Harbor islands - all less than a ten (10) minute drive from Logan International Airport and less than fifteen (15) minutes from downtown Boston. MBTA's rapid transit Blue Line also provides fast, direct access to Logan and to downtown Boston. The MBTA is also studying options for additional public transportation access to this site by extending Blue Line service northward or making a "people mover" connection from Wonderland Station to a new station on the existing commuter rail tracks immediately west.
Planning Process
The MBTA engaged consultants to work with the local community to identify goals and develop a vision for the site. As a result of this process, the following objectives were formulated:
- Produce a high quality mix of uses on this prime, yet underutilized, waterfront land in an orderly and timely fashion
- Meet state public policy goals for sustainable development and transit-oriented development
- Provide quality development on unutilized land to maximize tax revenue, benefitting the City of Revere.
- Create an architecturally and aesthetically pleasing development that complements the Public Waterfront Park and enhances the positive image of the new Revere Beach
- Take full advantage of the site's proximity to the available transit facilities existing on the MBTA Blue Line at Wonderland Station, to Logan International Airport, and to downtown Boston.
- Sets a high standard of development for other undeveloped privately owned Revere Beach parcels
- Generate economic development benefit for the oceanside neighborhood and the city through:
- Job creation
- The local sales of goods and services
- The potential to attract additional private investment
The Wonderland Station TOD Design and Development Guidelines that were issued as part of the Request for Qualifications for the Wonderland TOD site can be viewed below.
Download the Wonderland Design Guidelines
Development Potential
The site is zoned to allow the following uses by right: multifamily residential, office, and hotel development. Based upon existing zoning, the nine (9) acres could accommodate over 1 million square feet of office, hotel, retail, and/or residential development.
Time Frame for Completion
Working in cooperation with the MBTA and Department of Conservation and Recreation, Revere initiated a two-part process to identify developers for the site. Subsequent to the Request for Qualifications issued in February 2005, Eurovest Development Inc. was designated as the Wonderland redeveloper.
Phase I TOD construction plans include an eight story general office building, 125 room hotel/149 unit residential condominium together with 17,000 s.f. of retail and 240 spaces of off street parking totaling approximately 430,000 square feet of new development at Revere Beach. Public improvements will include a public plaza together with pedestrian bridges connecting to both Revere Beach and the westerly side of Wonderland Station.
Construction activities commenced in Fall 2010 with a 1,450 space MBTA parking garage at Wonderland Station. Phase I is anticipated to be completed approximately 60 months thereafter.
For more information about the Wonderland Station TOD, contact Massachusetts Realty Group at 617-316-1654 or email through their website.
Project: Wonderland Parking Garage/Busway Project at Wonderland Station
MBTA Contact: Mahendra Patel, Project Manager
Phone: 617-222-6756
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Project involves value engineering of the design and construction of a parking garage containing approximately 1465 spaces, improvements to Route 1A and Butler Circle, a relocation of the busway from the oceanside development parcel to and from Route 1A and related improvements.
Specifically, the Project elements include the following:
- Approximately 1465 MBTA-owned structured parking spaces at Wonderland Station;
- A new entrance, elevators, and other associated accessibility improvements and connections to Wonderland Station, that also provides connectivity to oceanside attractions;
- Secure, covered bicycle storage within the South Garage; and
- A covered and sheltered waiting area for bus patrons.
- A small (maximum of 4000 ft2) Registry of Motor Vehicles Express Office
Working cooperatively through a public/private partnership, the MBTA, City of Revere and Eurovest anticipate that the Project will be completed and open by January 1, 2012.
The project determined Three (3) Shortlisted Design Build Teams as follows:

Mattapan Square Station TOD - Mattapan, Boston, MA
Location / Site Description
The development site is the MBTA Mattapan Station surface parking area. This MBTA stop is the last stop on the Mattapan line, providing connectivity to the Red Line at Ashmont, and supports facilities for driving and walking commuters, MBTA maintenance facilities, and is a major hub for many neighborhood bus routes. The site is currently an underutilized parking facility of approximately 1.8 acres. Parking accommodations for between 50 - 100 commuters will have to be designed into any development that should also accommodate some transit-related retail.
Neighborhood Context
The MBTA has worked closely with the Mattapan community regarding necessary station renovations which are now complete, including the location of an MBTA police substation at the entrance to the station. The proposed development of the underutilized station parking area will complement the Mattapan Station renovation and complete the transformation of the station complex as a truly Transit Oriented Development that also serves to enhance the larger Mattapan community.
Planning Process and Development Potential
The MBTA has worked closely with the Boston Redevelopment Authority and local community representatives to develop a set of redevelopment (use and design) guidelines for the site. These use and design guidelines will become an integral part of the MBTA's Spring 2011 Invitation to Bid ( " ITB " ), offering this development opportunity to prospective developers and helping guide their proposals for reuse of the site. Uses that have been included are: residential, retail, office, and community service space.
Time Frame for Completion
The Mattapan Station Development offering is expected to be available through public bid in the Spring of 2011. Any proposed development of the site will be subject to further City of Boston and community planning processes.
For more information about the Mattapan Square Station TOD, contact Massachusetts Realty Group at 617-316-1654 or email throught their website.
Newburyport Station TOD - Newburyport and Newbury, MA
Location/ Site Description
The Newburyport MBTA Station is a potential TOD site with over twenty acres of land, located along Route 1 at the Newbury\Newburyport city boundary. The station serves the MBTA commuter rail and also provides parking for 814 vehicles.
Neighborhood Context
Comprehensive long-range master planning efforts have been undertaken by the city of Newburyport. The city is currently in the process of establishing a Smart Growth District to encourage growth in accordance with the purposes of M.G.L. Chapter 40R. The city's goal in establishing the Smart Growth District is to provide development at the Newburyport MBTA station characterized by a mix of residential and non-residential uses at a higher density than allowed in the general business districts of the city.
Planning Process and Development Potential
The City of Newburyport and the MBTA are working together to achieve the city's goal of a Smart Growth District. The MBTA is planning to issue an Invitation to Bid (ITB) in the Fall of 2010. It's the goal of the MBTA that the designated developer will work with the City of Newburyport to adopt the Smart Growth District at the MBTA Station area.
Time Frame for Completion
The community planning effort is ongoing. Once complete, an Invitation to Bid ("ITB") for the development of the various sites will be issued during the first quarter of 2011.
For more information about the Newburyport Station TOD, contact Massachusetts Realty Group at 617-316-1654 or email through their website.
Forest Hills, Boston, MA
The Forest Hills station is a multi-modal transportation facility located at the end of the MBTA Orange Line in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston, MA. The MBTA owns Parcels S, U, V and W which surround the station area. The property is part of the remaining land after the development of the Southwest Corridor project, a depression of the old elevated Orange Line from South Cove to Forest Hills.
Planning Process
In 2008, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, with the participation of the MBTA and local community groups, completed the Forest Hills Improvement Initiative. The goals of the initiative included promoting a mix of residential and business growth, preservation of open space, and developing Use and Design Guideline for the surrounding area. The Forest Hills Use and Design Guidelines were issued as part of the Invitation to Bid for the Forest Hills TOD sites and can be viewed using the following link:
Download the Forest Hills Improvement Initiative
Development Potential
The Boston Redevelopment Authority's (BRA) Use and Guidelines for the Forest Hill project allow for the development of multi-family residential, retail, office and commuter parking to accommodate over 400,000 square feet on the MBTA sites.
Time Frame for Completion
The first phase of development, Parcels V and W, were awarded to a designated developer in April of 2009. The proposed project includes 46,000 sf of commercial development and is anticipated to begin construction in the Fall of 2010.
The next phase of development is planned for Parcel U. The BRA Use and Design Guidelines allow for a development to include 120 residential units and 15,000 sf of commercial space. An Invitation to Bid for Parcel U is planned for the first quarter of 2011.

JFK / UMass Station
On December 7, 2007 the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, ("MBTA") invited interested parties to bid on the lease of development rights over approximately 4.5 acres of land located at the JFK / UMass Station at the intersection of Morrissey Boulevard and Columbia Road in Boston, Massachusetts.
Shortly after publication of the offering, the Boston Redevelopment Authority began a planning effort encompassing all of Columbia Point, including the MBTA. On March 18, 2008 the MBTA suspended the offering indefinitely.
The BRA study, which is nearing completion, addresses all relevant planning issues for Columbia Point. To promote its strong TOD potential, the BRA has made specific recommendations for the MBTA property. These include the construction of a public road through the site, provision of greatly improved pedestrian access through the site from Sidney Street, and inclusion of specific urban design elements to enhance the public domain for all of Columbia Point. To make these financially feasible the BRA suggests increasing slightly the allowable density and significantly the allowable height.
Upon completion of the BRA work, the site offering will be re-issued.

As you can imagine, I'm not a big drinker, but that was great fun. I've been working so long and hard on the Atomic Athletic web site that my social, camaraderie oriented side of life has been lacking. I almost titled this Bomb Proof Bulletin "Extending the Conversation", which would have been descriptive, but didn't have the punchy flavor I wanted, but you get the idea.
Just Did It
You see, like any other sport, you can only "do" strength sports for so long. I'm also not talking about age here. We have Masters athletics for those of us who want to compete in age group sports. I'm talking about being a spectator. It's the art of watching the game with buddies. Most of us at the Pub had done some sort of coaching and recruiting for the Open Curling we have, thanks to the advertising power of the the Olympics being on television. By Friday, we were done for the week. It was time to relax and talk about the sport. Tell some jokes. You get the idea.
Last week, I met with my buddy, Dr. Bob Suchyta, at his bar, Doc's Sports Retreat. Dr. Bob is the guy who got me into Olympic style Weightlifting. Believe me, he was a much better lifter than I have ever been, having been trained by Norbert Schemansky, at the Astro Club. We had a blast talking about lifting and checking out all of his sports memorabilia. His place is a modern sports bar that shows off a collection that includes pieces from Gordy Howe, other Red Wings, Lions, Tigers, Pistons and of course, weightlifters. There is at least an entire case of memorabilia just about Norbert Schemansky, but other lifters, strongmen and bodybuilders are represented as well.
Click this link if you want to check out Doc's Sports Retreat: http://www.docssportretreat.com/
Both Vic Boff and Joe Marino drummed the concepts of camaraderie and fellowship into my head. They are essential for any sport. In case you didn't know, the AOBS (Association of Oldetime Barbell & Strongmen, which Vic founded) started as an informal get-together to celebrate Sig Klein's birthday. Make sure to get together with your lifting buddies. If they have all disappeared, find new ones. Make sure to add in some young guys, or even "old guys" who are new to the sport.
Vic Boff Collection: http://atomicathletic.com/store/index.php/vic-boff-collection-2-books-dvd.html
Continue to check out the Atomic Athletic BLOG for more. I add bits & pieces to it, that are not long enough for a Bulletin. Of course, not all the Bulletins make it to the BLOG. They really are different entities.
All the best,
Roger LaPointe

Town Meeting to be Held to Update
Huntington Community on Flood Mitigation
At a town meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m., in the Jack Knowles Lecture Hall at Walt Whitman Middle School, 2500 Parker's Lane, Alexandria, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, will provide a project update on flood control measures to protect the Huntington community in Fairfax County, which experienced flooding in June 2006. The meeting is being hosted by Mount Vernon District Supervisor Gerry Hyland.
USACE staff will present information about the various alternatives to protect the community from flooding, and will review structural alternatives such as dredging of Cameron Run, a levee or flood wall, and non-structural alternatives such as flood proofing individual homes, and buyouts. Residents will have an opportunity to ask questions and to provide feedback following the presentation. In addition, a Spanish language translator will translate the meeting.
The town meeting is a follow-up to a meeting on April 24, 2007, where the USACE presented preliminary flood control measures to protect the Huntington community.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers performed a study of the Cameron Run floodplain in relation to the June 25-26, 2006, flooding in the Huntington community. The study compiled past surveys and studies along Cameron Run, as well as rain gauge data and stream data from the June flooding to determine the risk and extent of future flooding. The report by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is posted online on the Fairfax County Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/stormwater/floodreport.htm.
For further information or questions about the town meeting, contact Camylyn Lewis of the Fairfax County Stormwater Planning Division at 703-324-5500, TTY 711.

At 9:02 a.m., Baltimore County firefighters responded to a home in the 700 block of Essex Ave in Essex for a dwelling fire with rescue. The Essex Fire Station's Engine 7 was the first unit on the scene and found a two-story single family home fully involved with fire.
Before the arrival of fire crews, a police officer and a neighbor made forcible entry into the home and rescued a woman from inside. She was treated at the scene by EMS personnel and later transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview for treatment. Her injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
The woman told police that she was on the first floor of the home when she heard a loud noise and immediately saw fire and windows that had been shattered.
Because of the victim's description of the fire, police are investigating to determine whether an incendiary device was involved. Several nearby homes were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Early this afternoon, police located a neighbor who they believe may have information about this fire. Police are questioning this neighbor, who was located in his vehicle at the intersection of Rossville Boulevard and Orems Road.
One firefighter who fell on the ice and one police officer suffered minor injuries and were transported to Franklin Square Hospital for treatment.
Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

HUNDREDS of schoolchildren and staff will be donning something pink for a non-uniform day to raise cash for a Bacup toddler battling leukaemia.
Ten schools have confirmed they will participate in the event in aid of three-year-old Anna Brooks, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in August last year.
Team Anna, a group of volunteers fundraising for CLIC Sargent, which provides care for children with cancer including Anna, are planning to stage the event on Friday, February 14.
Last month, the team lost £2,500 in cash donations after Blossoms Private Day Nursery, the nursery Anna attended before becoming too ill, was raided by thieves who ripped the safe off the wall.
Sara Steel, of Team Anna, said: "It was a real blow having half the money we'd raised in six months stolen.
"But despite the setback, organisation of future events has continued apace.
"As well as the non-uniform day, we are hosting a Mother's Day Market on Sunday, March 23 at Pioneer Gym.
"Other events include a team entry into the Rossendale Triathlon, a zumbathon and a ladies night to name a few."
Schools taking part in the day so far are Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School, Bacup St Mary's RC Primary School, Sharneyford Primary School, St Mary's RC Primary School, Haslingden.
Our Lady and St Anselm's RC Primary School, Whitworth, Bacup Nursery School, Blossoms Private Day Nursery, Northern Primary School, St Peter's RC Primary School, Newchurch, and Haslingden St James CofE Primary School are also taking part.
Anna is currently undergoing treatment at Manchester Children's Hospital. To make a donation to Anna's cause, visit www.justgiving.com/ teams/teamannafund.

FolderTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
Can you fold a 8.5 in x 11 in (US Standard) piece of notebook or typing paper in half and draw a single 13 inch straight line on ONE of the four faces of the folded paper?
HintThink of different ways you can fold the piece of paper so it is ALWAYS folded in half.
An unfolded sheet has two sides (faces); front and back. A sheet folded in half has four faces (sides); two each on what was the *front* and two each on what was the *back*.
AnswerFold the paper corner to corner so the crease is diagonal. Don't fold it horizontally or vertically. The four faces, or sides, would then be triangular and not rectangular (as other folds might be). But the paper IS folded in half. Then, along the longest edge of one of the four faces, draw your single 13 in. straight line.
What Next?

Just thought I'd pop the question here in case anyone was familiar with this aspect of security.
I'm looking for an accurate (hopefully free) scanner for detecting malware on a web site. Google obviously have their own method, but it doesn't appear to be available as a downloadable script. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as public access to their script would be a god-send to unethical hackers.
If any of you have experience in this area, I would appreciate your advice.
Also, if I managed to find such a script, how would I go about testing it? I presume I would have to load some real malware on my site or maybe test it locally using a XAMPP installation or similar. However, where would I get sample malware code?
Anyway, I live in hope of someone pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers to all
Why roll your own when you could just use Google's Safe Browsing API and get the same thing?
Ask your host to implement a "maldet scan." For some reason, hosts seems to keep that as a perk unto themselves but it does offer a great detection facility and can e-mail scan results (either none detected or identify the specific files).
Thanks guys
Maybe, I should have mentioned that I am looking for a scanner to incorporate in my script (briefly mentioned in my signature). It looks like logic_earth's suggestion is a possibility, but it will take some studying and, (with my ever-diminishing brain power) will take some time to understand and implement.
I do actually possess a malware script which seems to work, but the results are amazingly difficult to interpret, and apparently, is a hit-n-miss affair anyway, so not entirely reliable. If anyone is interested I can make it available to you. Unfortunately, this script can not be used remotely (which is not what I'm looking for).
I'll spend some time studying the google api and will update this thread with my findings.
Regards to all and thanks again
This should of course be: "I do actually possess a malware detection script"
There is also VirusTotal, they have a public API that allows you to send files or site URLs to be scanned.https://www.virustotal.com/documentation/public-api/
Thanks logic
I'm currently investigating that one.
I also found this link where there's a number possible options:http://www.malwarehelp.org/freeware-open-source-commercial-website-security-tools-services-downloads.html
I have looked at many possibilities to match my my needs, including python and ruby scripts, but I eventually settled on virustotal's public api - it checks with more than 30 different DBs. It works a treat and is easy to combine with my existing script. I'm still testing so I can't vouch for it's accuracy 100%. However, it appears to match with other results from on line services - thanks for the recommendation logic

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/10/2012 (1756 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Eliminated from the playoffs for the third time in four years with a loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Saturday, one of the questions that immediately arose is should the Winnipeg Blue Bombers "blow up" the team and start all over again next season.
Not so fast, says safety Ian Logan, noting the 5-12 record the Bombers have is actually a little better than the 4-14 record the team posted in 2010.
"The same thing happened in 2010 -- we were 4-14 and they held together the core of the guys and we made it to the Grey Cup the next year. It's the same thing here. We just need to make a few adjustments. We have good athletes and guys who can lead us to a championship."
Bombers head coach Tim Burke was adamant Saturday that he still thinks this team is championship calibre. "I definitely do," said Burke. "When you look at our skill players, they're pretty good players. We just have to have a little bit better quarterback play for us to win games."
But Burke added that what happens to this team -- and him, for that matter -- is a decision that won't be his to make. "That's not up to me. It's up to the president, the CEO, the GM and the board of directors. Whatever they decide is what's going to happen."
Bombers QB Joey Elliott said he hopes the nucleus returns intact.
"I hope so. I like every guy in the locker-room. I'm not blowing smoke -- I love every guy in that locker-room. Coach Burke is telling us to enjoy it one more week. Who knows what's going to happen to any one of us. Let's just enjoy football and show up together with these guys in the locker-room -- guys that you went to battle with for a full year -- and you have one more week together."
The Bombers finish the regular season with a meaningless game this Saturday at Canad Inns Stadium against the Montreal Alouettes.
-- -- --
One of the most prominent free agents the Bombers will have this off-season will be defensive back Jonathan Hefney.
Hefney said Saturday he would like to once again pursue NFL opportunities -- he most recently spent some time in 2010 with the Detroit Lions -- but said if that doesn't work out, Winnipeg is the only place he wants to play.
"I've got another game left. We're going to play some football and see where it goes from there. There's a lot of different stuff I'm trying to get accomplished. But if I don't get a chance to play down south, I will try to come back here. This is where my teammates and all my friends are.
"And I don't like too many other teams up here. That's just how I am. I've been that way -- I'm always loyal to (his college team) Tennessee, I'm loyal to my high school, even to the military school I went to. I'm always loyal."
-- -- --
Winnipeg's other marquee defensive back, Jovon Johnson, signed a contract extension last spring and there's no doubt he will be coming back in 2013.
But Johnson will be coming back after a difficult season in which -- by his own admission -- he struggled, just one year after he made CFL history by becoming the first DB to be named the league's Most Outstanding Defensive Player.
"I didn't have the best year in my football career. I don't really have an answer as to why that is. It's been hard on all of us, myself included. We've got to go back to the drawing board and hopefully next year we'll have all our guys back and continue to build on our chemistry. Because we started to build some stuff here."
-- -- --
In retrospect, opening the season at 0-4 was probably not such a good idea, says offensive lineman Glenn January.
"I really wish we had back some of those games early that we pissed away. Then this wouldn't have been such a high-stakes game," January said in the Bombers locker-room in Hamilton. "Right, wrong or indifferent -- we struggled at times with dealing with things that were out of our control."
Of course, among the things that were out of the team's control -- at least the control of the players -- was the four games the team had to play on the road to open the season.
Still, defensive back/SAM Johnny Sears says the players have to take ownership for the failing of this season.
"We've got to do better. Have to do better. There's so many things you could talk about and elaborate on. But the bottom line is everyone has to do their job. Everyone has to come into work, put that hard hat on and do their job to the best of their abilities. And sometimes it didn't seem like that. At some points in the season, it seemed like everyone was on the same page. But it was off and on. And you've got to be consistent."
-- -- --
Lost Saturday amid the grieving that comes with being eliminated from playoff contention was the play of slotback Terrence Edwards, who scored one of his team's two touchdowns on a 41-yard catch-and-run late in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 60 yards to give him 1,049 for the season. It's the fifth time Edwards has achieved the 1,000-yard milestone.
