Sailing-America's Cup set to resume with better weather

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 22 | Sun Sep 22, 2013 2:03pm EDT SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - America's Cup racing is set to resume on Sunday with Emirates Team New Zealand just one race short of claiming the trophy from Oracle Team USA. After struggling for much of the regatta's final series in San Francisco, the team owned by Oracle Corp. co-founder Larry Ellison has gained momentum against Emirates Team New Zealand, refusing since Thursday to let the Kiwis win the one race that would give them the trophy. Uncooperative weather conditions on San Francisco Bay wreaked havoc on the race schedule last week and most recently forced the postponement of two races scheduled for Saturday. Organizers said they expect the wind to start light and build through the afternoon for Sunday's two planned races, reaching about 20 knots (23 mph), which would be under the wind limits that have halted racing several times during the regatta. But a new potential wrinkle surfaced Saturday n...

LEGO Bunny Hutch Playset Recent Review

Our daughter loves LEGO Friends. She first saw them at a friends house and was instantly obsessed with them. We purchased the "Olivia's Tree House" Set for her for Christmas and it was a big hit. Since then, we have purchased several additional sets for her collection.The LEGO Friends Bunny's Hutch Set is one of those tiny sets in a little hanging bag with only 37 pieces and no Friends character. It comes with a Bunny figure and some bunny accessories including an carrot, a balance beam to play on and a little house for the bunny. The instructions are very detailed and easy to follow for a 5 year old. The recommended age is 5-12 and a 5 year old will only need minimal help with it.Obviously this is a very small set that you usually find on an end cap at your local store hanging on a hook. The MSRP on the LEGO web site for this set is $4.99. If a set isn't Retired, you shouldn't have to pay much more than the MSRP which is usually the going rate...

Lincoln Logs National Bank-81 pcs User Reviews

Fun Fun Fun!!!!! - pixternut Besides the fact they bring back a million memories of when I was young, they are a great gift for any child..any age. My son will play with this for hours! Thanks for keeping these around! - Cat Crane "catcrane" "Lincoln Logs: National Bank Set" is both fun and educational for growing boys and girls, but their gifted peers still long for the "Lincoln Logs: Ford Theater Set," a promise which remains unfulfilled. - Brian Moore This is the 2nd set of Lincoln Logs we've bought for our grandson who is 4 1/2 and it was a big hit. He combines it with the other one and it keeps him very happily engaged. It's great too because we can participate in the building.....I would recommend it highly. - Fern Wishman "Happ...

Survivor Know-It-Alls Recap the Blood vs Water Premiere

Watch the Show on Youtube Listen to the Podcast: Podcast: Play in new window | Download After a long summer, Survivor is finally back, and back with it are Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach to break down all the action from the first episode of Blood vs Water on the season premiere of Survivor Know-It-Alls! New Players Vote Out Marissa Stephen says voting out Marissa is something of a contentious move a lot of people on social media are accusing the Tadhana tribe of racism. Stephen didnt hate the move, but doesnt deny that racism might have played a part in it. He points out that in recent Survivor history, black women have gone home fairly early. Rob disagrees that there were any racist motives, but still doesnt think the players thought through the move very well. Because every person voted out might now return to the game on the other tribe, the Survivors need to make sure theyre always taking this into consideration when they vote. Rob believes that had they voted out ...

WWE Night of Champions 2013 Results: Live Reaction and Review

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage for WWE Night of Champions 2013! This year's show takes place at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich., and it has the potential to be a great pay-per-view. Everything in WWE is always subject to change, but this is the card as it stands. Pre-show: Tag Team Turmoil match to see who faces The Shield for the tag titles on the main show. The Shield (c) vs. ? for the tag title. Curtis Axel and Paul Heyman vs. CM Punk AJ (c) vs. Naomi vs. Natalya vs. Brie Bella for the Divas title. Dean Ambrose (c)vs. Dolph Ziggler for the U.S. title. Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. RVD for the World title. Randy Orton (c)vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE title. More matches could always be added during the show, and hopefully, that is the case, as a six-match PPV is not something a lot of people will see as worth the money. Will Big Show have any kind of impact during the show? Will Damien Sandow cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase? Which tag team will fa...
