We are just days away from the Labour Day Classic in Regina and I can’t wait. I actually feel a little bit bad for Bomber fans making the trip this weekend. After last weeks performance or lack of it in Edmonton the Riders should be foaming at the mouth. Brad Bazin and myself will be heading to Taylor Field with our GX94 Countryside Motors Football Fanatic winners. Congrats to Livia Dahlin of Norquay our Rider fan and to Norm Davy of Swan River our Bomber fan. This will be a great time regardless of who wins even though we know it will be the Riders. Speaking of the Riders it is the final day to vote for Yorkton for Riderville at www.riderville.com. Good luck to all communities, we will find out the winner at the Labour Day game on Sunday.

Vote Yorkton today at www.riderville.com

I got a kick out of this video. I call it Star Wars Benny Hill.

Now for all of your movies hitting theatres today I am really looking forward to the movie Takers it looks great:
tn_The_Last_Exorcism_6The Last Exorcism - When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine “exorcism” on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort, certain his teenage daughter Nell is possessed by a demon who must be exorcized before their terrifying ordeal ends in unimaginable tragedy.

Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there. Now, too late to turn back, Reverend Marcus’ own beliefs are shaken to the core when he and his crew must find a way to save Nell – and themselves – before it is too late.

tn_Takers_PosterTakers - “Takers,” directed by John Luessenhop, revolves around a notorious group of criminals (Idris Elba, Paul Walker, T.I., Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Michael Ealy) who continue to baffle police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. They are in and out like clockwork, leaving no evidence behind and laying low in between heists. But when they attempt to pull off one last job with more money at stake than ever before, the crew may find their plans interrupted by a hardened detective (Matt Dillon) who is hell-bent on solving the case.

Later today I will be at Yorkton Hyundai telling you about all the great deals. It looks that it may be a beauty of a day today. Don’t forget to check out our GX94 Radio Internet Auction today at http://hodginsauctioneers.cusauctions.com/?auction=GXAUG10 this is a direct link. Items will start closing at 7pm Sask Time Monday. As well just a heads up to vote Yorkton for Riderville again at www.riderville.com. Have you ever wondered what the largest Yacht in the world looks like? The newest yacht in Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s fleet is the largest private yacht now in existence. It boasts a missile-detection system, a luxury spa, two helipads, a swimming pool, and a miniature submarine. It reportedly cost more than $400 million. To keep out the prying eyes of the paparazzi, the yacht has an electronic “shield” that can detect light sensors in digital cameras and make them unable to take photos. They were able to take one picture, shields must have been down at the time.

I would have to say that I have a new favorite song these days. It is The Band Perry – If I die young. Just take the time to listen to the words, I think we all have had someone go way too soon or young. Here is the video I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

tn_Nanny_McPhee_Returns_7Nanny McPhee Returns – In “Nanny McPhee Returns,” Oscar®-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world.

In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once she’s arrived, Nanny McPhee discovers that Mrs. Green’s children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in and refuse to leave.

Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant who turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons.

But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie’s plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later when Wally finally gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute–though slightly neurotic–son.
