Talk about playing to a tough crowd

If there was any question about whether Chicago hockey fans are a lunch pail crowd, such doubt was dispelled last night during a game in the Windy City with the visiting Winnipeg Jets.

With Chicago on its way to a 4-1 victory late in the game, Jets defenceman, Adam Pardy found himself digging a puck out of his own corner when Hawks forward Brandon Bollig rode him into the boards. A pane of glass was dislodged and Pardy went half way over the boards with it.

At that point, the Jets player appeared to try to keep the glass from falling onto spectators. What did he get for his trouble? As a melee ensued behind him, pinning him in his precarious position, a young guy in the crowd reached down and yanked his helmet off. You can see his arm reaching down in this shot.


Not to be outdone, the man's companion, a young "lady", decided she had a better purpose for her beer than drinking it, and doused the Winnipeg player's head with it. In the meantime, her (boy)friend had already donned the player's bonnet, much to the delight of the partisan crowd.

Don't miss this great opportunity!

Yeah, I know--that sounded like the start of a cheesy commercial. This is anything but. I am very sincere about the following...

The 3-D printing industry is revolutionizing manufacturing. It is still in its infancy, and much is not known about it such as who the big winners are going to be and the extent to which this process can be used. Nonetheless, this is the ground floor and you want to get in the elevator now, before it reaches the 50th floor. It would have been nice to get in at the basement, say a year ago or so, but it's definitely not too late. Here's a bunch of industry players and what their stocks have done in the last year.

I did a little research yesterday and bought ONVO. This company has virtually no competition. Whereas most 3-D printers are used to produce everyday products like small household items made of plastic, Organovo prints functional human tissue. They have had success producing liver tissue and have plans to print heart and kidney cells, and in the future, making usable human body parts. They have relationships with a couple pharma giants, Pfizer and Roche, so they are well-positioned to explode.
I bought yesterday at $7.33. I wish I had bought the day before at $6.65, but still, at this moment, it is $8.00, up 8.6% from yesterday's close. You don't have to buy ONVO, just buy something. Do your own research and get on the band wagon before another great opportunity passes you by.

Donald Duck with a really bad hangover?



That's Peter Burns. Yes, Peter, not Petra or Petronella. He is the former frontman of Dead or Alive. The poor guy survived a botched lip job that got infected and almost killed him. It then took over 100 more surgeries to fix it.
