Hi, I'm in Pittsburgh for my cousins Wedding and I need to know how to get Syfy on my TV. Also is Cable like Freeview back in the UK? I don't really get this.

Syfy may or may not be available at you cousin's. It depends on which cable package he subscribes to from his provider. If he does have it, you have to look thru the guide available by pushing "guide" on the cable remote and scroll the channels till you find it, then put that number into the box and see if it comes up. Don't know anything about Freeview, but cable is not free here.

About All that hard work down the drain

All that hard work down the drain? (NHL)?
For Pittsburgh and New Jersey....work all season for that home ice and lose it so quickly (although Philly is at home in Newark). Is home ice really that big of an advantage in the NHL?
Hockey - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
lol. Devils never had an home ice advantage, poor them. Pittsburgh lost a tough one, sucks for them. I think in hockey home ice should really be an advantage since the crowd can get in the head of the opposite team and help out the home team. If your a focused team than it doesn't matter where you play.
2 :
First off these are the first game of each series. If the Pens and the Devils win 4 in a row this is worthless to talk about. Hockey is about ups and downs. Home ice does make somewhat of a difference but not much.
3 :
Hockey in Newark is a joke! I got $40 tickets for row three upper level seats for game five and it was $80+ for upper level seats at the Wachovia Center so a bunch of us have decided to make the two hour trip rather than spend the valuable extra $40+! As for home ice advantage, as of late it has really meant nothing. If you look at the last two Stanley Cup games Detroit won it in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh won it in Detroit. Personally I believe it is really a case of what team wants in more? I think the East is a giant upset waiting to happen it wouldn't shock me if all of the lower seeds won out over the higher seeds. Home Ice Advantage is really just a fancy way of saying we get to sleep in our own homes tonight but that's about all.
4 :
That's how the playoffs go. In Pittsburgh's case it's 4 versus 5, so it shouldn't be that shocking. As for Jersey, I've always believed they were 1-dimensional and fragile. I'm not surprised. Philly will probably win that series. The Devils have no offense. You can only rest on your laurels so long once the other team figures you out. Home ice is an advantage but it doesn't guarantee anything.
5 :
I don't think so, at least not across the board. Maybe certain matchups will work out like that, but the NHL teams are so closely matched that HIA isn't as important as it once was.
6 :
Not anymore with today's cookie cutter arenas. Back in the days of the old arenas it was more of an advantage as the arenas were different. Now the only advantage is last change and the hometown crowd that can quickly become a disadvantage if you get down early. Maybe like the shootout (where the home team can chose to shoot first or second) the team with home ice advantage should be given the option of starting on the road and doing a 2-3-1-1 series (2 on road 3 at home, game 6 on the road and game 7 at home) Pens could be in big trouble given Ottawa's dominance at home. Fleury still looks shaky (not that many shots on goal in either game)
7 :
Presumably the 4th and 5th seeds are pretty evenly matched so that might be a good way to approach your question. In the last 10 seasons the 4th seed has won 13 out of 20 first-round matchups (+15%). One game is about 15% of a seven game series so maybe it means what it's meant to mean eh?
8 :
I think that really depends on the team and their situation. I mean... say Calgary made the playoffs, they had one of the best road records, yet one of the worst home ones. So if they did make the playoffs this year... perhaps you can say the road is really their best friend. I think the same goes for alot of teams. Obviously a hostile building can potentially drain your energy and swing momentum to the home club... but at the professional level I think these guys have become pretty good at countering that. It's funny you mention this because I was also thinking about the 'advantages' of home ice today. I think that unless the team in question has a history of winning at home and a clear distinction between home vs away records... I reallly don't think it makes a world of difference.
9 :
I think it only matters when you get deeper into the playoffs. But it's not like it ever means the whole world in playoff games period though, like it could in a basketball game. It means something--just not everything, later on.
10 :
I'd be a lot more worried about San Jose...I mean, their collective sphincter wouldn't pass air at this point and they might be able to turn a turd into a diamond. Holy jeebus. I mean, how much of a "must win" is game 2 now? NJD seems the bigger worry (over PIT) because of the "we've seen this before"...they overwork Brodeur and he's 7 years older than he was in 2003 when NJD last won the Cup (and haven't gotten out of the first round for a few years). PIT-OTT...too soon to tell.
11 :
(didn't read any answers) I really think that it is. especially in the third and final "rounds". it's not the crowd, but more: - choosing your matchups (lines, faceoffs) (big gap) - sleeping in "your own" bed - facilities intangibles i still think that you have to be able to win on the road though, to advance. otherwise, don't be surprised when you're golfing early.

About How does AFC NFC broadcasting rights work

How does AFC NFC broadcasting rights work??
I live in Pennslyvania, and the local CBS channel always broadcasts Steelers(AFC) games on sunday afternoon. But sometimes when they play an NFC team they don't get the rights to broadcast. Is it when the steelers(AFC) play away at NFC or is it when an NFC team comes to Pittsburgh to play. I forget how it works. Can someone help clear this up for me because it appears that the 49ers at Steelers game is not being broadcasted by our CBS affiliate . Instead its the Jets-Dolphins game. Thanks in advance
Football (American) - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :

Fox gets the rights if the NFC is the away team. And CBS gets the rights if the AFC is the away team. *This doesn't apply to Sunday or Monday Night, or Thursday Night Games, or the Super Bowl.
2 :
When the Steelers play a AFC team the game is on CBS. When the Steelers play a NFC team at the other teams field the game is on CBS. When the Steelers play a NFC team at home the game is on FOX.
3 :
If the road team is an AFC team, CBS has the rights and if the road team is a NFC team, Fox has the rights. This doesn't count Sunday night or Monday night games.
4 :
I live in ny so I see it all the time.The visiting team in an interconference game is televised on its home network.ie:giants at an afc team appear on fox which is the nfc network.So in your case the 49ers are away at an afc team so the game will not be televised on an afc affiliate it will only appear on a fox network.

About How does the spread point work in betting

How does the spread point work in betting?
Like for example if I bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers who are -3 against the Chicago Bears and if I bet on New York Giants who are +3 against the cowboys.
Gambling - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
San Francisco -5 vs. St. Louis 41 You may look at that and be intimidated and feel helpless, but I’m going to decode this little bugger for you. This is the betting line…not the odds. The odds are what you are going to be paid (covered later). When ever you see a team with a (-) number next to them (-5 in this case) that means that team is favored to win by that margin…5 points. The number after the matchup (41) is the projected total points to be scored by both teams added together. So there are two options here. A player can choose to bet on the matchup either San Fran -5 points, or St. Louis +5 points. For the player who wagers on San Francisco -5, San Fran must win by more than 5 points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on St. Louis +5, they must either win the game, or lose by less than 5 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome falls on the number, either way, the bet is declared a “Push”, and your original stake is refunded. See, that wasn’t too difficult was it? Sometimes you will see the points displayed as half numbers like San Fran -5.5 If you bet on San Fran and they win by 6..you win. If they win by 5 or less…you lose. Clear? You will find a complete explanation of a sports betting tutorial for new sports bettors at http://www.Sportsbook-Ratings.net/sports-betting-for-newbies
2 :
If you bet Steelers -3, then the Steelers MUST win by MORE than 3 points for you to win your bet. If the Steelers win by exactly 3, then you get a push. (You don't win or lose.) If the Steelers win by only 1 point or by 2 points, OR if the Steelers lose or tie the game, then you LOSE. Similarly with Giants +3. Now, however, if the Giants LOSE the game by exactly 3 points, you get a push. If the Giants win the game, you win. OR the Giants could LOSE the game by 1 point, or LOSE the game by 2 points and you would still WIN your bet. The only way you can lose that Giants +3 bet is if the Giants lose by 4 points or more.
3 :
Very easy to answer. Don't remember any of these rules. Listen. If the Cowboys are -3, then its simple. Take the final score of the game (For example) Cowboys: 24 Steelers: 22 And with the final score, you simply do what the point spread says to do. Since the Steelers say -3, then you subtract 3. Simple. The new score is now: Cowboys: 21 Steelers: 22 The Steelers won the game in the eyes of the bet you made, and you would lose your bet. If the adjusted score would of made it a tie ball game, then you would simply get your bet back, and it would be like no bet was ever made. And of course, if the Steelers still had a higher score after you adjusted it, you would win your bet and make money.

You've got it right! No one can give you even a ballpark figure., Get 2-3 estimates
2 :
As another poster has indicated, your best bet is to seek the assessment of a local AC contractor in your area to get the actual local going rate in your area---as the cost of labor and material varies by location. Fortunately, there are plenty of local AC contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question. A local AC contractor can easily assist you in this project of yours. If you negotiate well with the contractor and he buys the materials (i.e., the AC, etc.) for you, you may try to have him pass the discounted cost of the materials to you in exchange for giving him the installation job, as usually contractors get discounts (called "contractor's discounts" / "contractor's price") when buying from suppliers because of the many purchases they make as required by their jobs.. Getting free estimates from local AC contractors is the key to your success in this home improvement project of yours. Here's a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in your project, and, ultimately, selecting a local AC contractor in an effort to have you get treated fairly by the contractor: Info on AC contractors: http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_Free_Estimates_AC.htm I'm sure you'll find the information you need, specifically the tips, useful as it relates to being treated fairly by contractors and exploring the consumer-wise approach of getting free written estimates to find the best contractor in your area. . Source(s): The Internet. Just whatever is available online and what I have on my mind, including the inclusion of relevant sites, like the one cited that came about from my efforts, which is intended to be useful.

Medical Discount Plan ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services. Individual & Family Health Plans This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose. Short Term Medical Plans This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early.

It has more with being able to anticipate the train wreck of inflation about to hit us from the bailout. Really, a career with this sort of experience is a sales job and I would suggest if you are in Pittsburgh (home of Friday Night Improv in one of my favorite buildings, the Cathedral of Learning )and still have a job, just stay with it for a couple years until all the out of work people in New York have been absorbed. And keep a current resume on monster.com Don't quit until you actually have something else going as the job market for financial people is going to be tough for a while.

About Why do law enforcement officers get off work to attend funerals of other police officers

Why do law enforcement officers get off work to attend funerals of other police officers?
I know if someone dies in my profession I do not get time off to attend the funeral. Why should the police be treated any differently. With most of the country's police force in Pittsburgh today it would seem that lawlessness would be on the increase because the police are off duty for the day.
Law Enforcement & Police - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
because im sure at your job your not putting your life on the line everyday. That's why YOU don't get to take off work. When an agency loses one of there officers...that's a BIG deal because they were doing it for the safety of others. Its out of respect dude.
2 :
Police officers are a brotherhood and the death of one officer affects the entire force. Not every police officer is at the funeral, obviously that wouldn't make sense.
3 :
you can't get off work for a funeral? Man, that sucks. Every single job I ever had would let me not come to work for a funeral....and weddings and doctors appointments, etc......
4 :
Ok first of all, they are not off. They are one way or another standing in as a police officer in full uniform representing their dept. So they are not off as you say. And most of the time the officer attends while he is on duty, or on his day off. Secondly, there are enough cops on duty to cover the streets.
5 :
I assure you, all of them don't want to be there...
6 :
There are tens of thousands of Law Enforcement Officers in the country. The vast majority of us are not attending any funerals of our brother and sister Law Officers today. In fact some of us were already scheduled to be off and can do whatever we want on our off days. A small percentage of us are granted leave to do things, like attending funerals on a first come first serve basis. The agency comes first over leave requests. If the Captain decides he/she can't allow you off in order to maintain patrol coverage then they won't grant the leave request. The number of us that actually took off today to go to a funeral is a small percentage compared to the number of us that are working. Back in 2001 a High Point (NC) Officer was killed in a car crash. Greensboro Police actually volunteered to come and work the streets of High Point NC on their off day so every High Point Officer could attend the funeral that wanted to. Police Officers look at one another as a type of extended family that is why we go to funerals of strangers and mourn the loss of people we have never met as if they were good friends.
7 :
The question has been answered very well by previous posters. I want to take a moment to just say how sad I feel whenever I read a post like this. This sadness will last less than a few minutes however because I then realize there are many more people that "get" it.. that understand the sacrifices officers give to help keep even the poster of this question safe. And when an officer loses his or her life doing the job they were hired to do, they deserve respect, not some moron asking why other officers get off work to attend their funeral.
8 :
They should be treated different, because their job is different. They go to work everyday, not knowing if they will come home or not. As far as the part about lawlessness, I know that in my community when an officer is killed, officers and dispatchers from meighboring cities come and work for them.
9 :
Do you get time off if a family member dies? That's what a fallen officer is to other officers. A family member. Chances are if they take off for the funeral, their shift has been covered by someone else. It's called respect.
10 :
Number one most of the countries police force was not in Pittsburgh. it looks like a lot but like any civilian estimating blood loss it is not a lot. Officers from out side units come in on their own time to help the locals with policing. In most places officers are allowed to earn compensatory time instead of pay for overtime work. That is when they are overtime at work or in court they get a promise that they can take that time off later. Officers who are scheduled to be on duty and need to attend a funeral can take that compensatory time off as long as they find a volunteer to fill there need for working police. In situations like Pittsburgh there are plenty of sworn outside officers who volunteer so that their comrades can attend. I do not know what your profession is but I am sorry that your people have not had the intelligence over the years worked out a system allowing you to grieve and show respect. Or perhaps your profession does not see their people killed on a regular basis.

The most perks would definitely be at the hotel/banquet hall. You could get a cheaper venue. No matter where you go you negotiate the price you pay per person, so if you work there, I'm sure they give you the best services for your money.
5 :
most palces like that dont offer discounts to regular emplyees for weddings. Maybe a discount at a dress shop but a hotel wont give you a discount on food or a hall.
6 :
Getting a job somewhere just to save some money on a wedding might not be a good idea. Think long term. If you don't have much money, then down size the wedding or wait and save some up.

Well, the biggest expenses are usually catering and photography. Get a job there and that can cut down A LOT of your cost. For instance, my aunt had a catering business that I worked in while I was a teenager. She catered my wedding for cost of food only. A friend from high school went on to become a professional photographer and she gave me a great deal on the photos.

What kind of employment? Knowing that would help someone to answer this question. Are you a professional? A Canadian citizen without a TN visa can apply at a U.S. port of entry with all of the following: Request for admission under TN status to Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. immigration officer; Employment Letter - Evidence of professional employment. See Employment Letter below; Proof of professional qualifications, such as transcripts of grades, licenses, certificates, degrees, and/or records of previous employment; Proof of ability to meet applicable license requirements; Proof of Canadian citizenship- Canadian citizens may present a passport, as visas are not required, or they may provide secondary evidence, such as a birth certificate. However, Canadian citizens traveling to the United States from outside the Western Hemisphere are required to present a valid passport at the port-of-entry; Fee of U.S. $50 If you don't qualify under NAFTA, then you'd need to be the beneficiary of an approved petition.

Go Steelers. Pittsburgh is a really tough market right now. If you want to get into life insurance sales, you're better off getting your license, and working for an independent agent (straight commission). I lived there for 10 years, I know a bunch of them. Email me for contact info.
