There’s a businessman in the Atlanta area named Ketan Shah.\u00a0 And for the past few months, he’d been advertising special access to great Super Bowl tickets.<\/p>\n
He wound up scamming about $1 MILLION from around a dozen different people . . . including close friends, old business contacts, and even his own MOTHER.<\/p>\n
And then . . . he vanished.<\/p>\n
The cops say they’re trying to track him down.\u00a0 A spokesman says, quote, “It’s not that he posted some ad and random people are contacting this guy . . . he’s known these people for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bear was wide \u2014 at about 12 feet \u2014\u00a0making the jump from the bear’s outline to its belly button almost impossible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hundreds of Canadians have sent in theories as to how the bear got its navel \u2014 and very few of them guessed the truth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was five snowballs, lobbed successfully into the middle of the bear.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She was surprised by the media attention her creation has received.<\/p>\n “Yes, it was five snowballs thrown in the same place. And I never would have thought my bear would be all over the media,”. A number of\u00a0people following the snow bear mystery reacted to her impeccable aim with awe, impressed\u00a0that all five snowballs landed perfectly in the centre of the bear.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A spokesperson for the Lachine Canal reminds Montrealers that walking on the canal is illegal in the winter because of safety concerns.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S GOOD NEWS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The polar vortex was brutal last week.\u00a0 But here are four GOOD stories that have come out of all the freezing cold weather . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her name is Marlen Downing, and her kids pleaded\u00a0with her to stay inside.\u00a0 But she says she’s a “tough, old broad” from North Dakota . . . and she likes running her snow blower, because it reminds her of her HARLEY, which she still rides in the summer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [46] \u00d3scar de la Hoya, boxer (multiple world titles in six different weight classes\/compiled a record of 39-6\/gold medal at the 1992 Olympics<\/p>\n \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n EXPERTS ANSWER: IS IT OK TO EXERCISE WHEN IT’S COLD OUT? (01\/30\/2019)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Some people hate the idea of working out outside in the winter months, but is it unhealthy to do so?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Robert Glatter, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, Northwell Health, says as long as you’re bundled up and you’re not heading out into subzero temperatures, the cold can actually sometimes improve your health by kickstarting your immune system.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Certified personal trainer and holistic nutritionist Ashley Walter says in addition to monitoring the temperature outdoors you should also keep an eye on the windchill, as well as precipitation forecasts. She tells Elite Daily, “The one big advisory to look out for isn\u2019t outdoor temperature, but windchill below freezing [because] windchill brings on frostbite and that can\u2019t be prevented, no matter how warm we dress.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Skip the precipitation like freezing rain, too. Snow is actually fine if you have shoes with good traction.” However, there are some workouts you should avoid doing outdoors in the winter, including things like lengthy yoga practices, long walks, and anything that requires you to be outside and\/or stay still for long periods of time. \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n And, in an interview after, he said, quote, “I guess you could call it a Hail Mary.\u00a0 You throw it up and pray.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ARTS AND CRAFTS:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n When the time comes that you need the info, not only have you lost the piece of paper that you wrote it on, but you\u2019ve also forgotten what it was that you wrote.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It turns out you should have drawn a picture.\u00a0 A study found that drawing is the best way to retain new information.

One in particular, an LA Kings replica championship ring, came his way when he was about to abandon his music dream forever. Jimmie’s grandmother had died just a few months before his son was born and he was feeling pretty down and out. He decided to take in an LA Kings hockey game back in 2014 and that’s when he knew he had to keep pursuing music.\u00a0[“Nothing was going on in my musical life and I was just frustrated. I was in LA at the time. I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m done with this music stuff.’ I was like, ‘God, if you have a plan for me, if this music thing is what I should be doing then I need a sign, I need a trophy, I need something to hold onto,’ and I’m just throwing out the craziest requests that won’t be fulfilled to give me an excuse to quit. Little did I know that the game that I went to, they were celebrating the LA Kings winning the Stanley Cup from the year before, so as soon as I walk into the game and walk up to the suite they were handing out these replica rings. I said, ‘Damn!’ So for me, that was my sign just to keep going.”]\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Just a few years later, Jimmie is a bona fide hitmaker, recently charting his first Number One hit with “Best Shot.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Horse Stepped on Justin Moore’s Leg During a Photo Shoot<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A horse stepped on\u00a0JUSTIN MOORE’s<\/strong>\u00a0right leg last week during a photo shoot for his upcoming album.\u00a0 He took it well, and even posted a couple of\u00a0photos.\u00a0 You can see that it’s bruised and swollen, but nothing looks serious.<\/p>\n He even joked about it in the caption, writing, “Anything for art.\u00a0 First time in my career I’ve been stepped on by a horse during an album photo shoot. \u00a0Hopefully, we got the shot, though. \u00a0New album,\u00a0‘Late Nights And Longnecks’<\/strong><\/em>, coming soon.” It doesn’t sound like it’s going to cause him to miss any stage time either.\u00a0 According to his\u00a0Facebook page, his next scheduled show is this Friday in Canton, Ohio.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interesting Facts and Stats from Super Bowl 53<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n After last night’s Super Bowl, we ventured out into the Internet in search of some trivia and interesting facts on Super Bowl 53.\u00a0 Here’s what we came up with:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February 4th ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":3625,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mornings"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-30 01:21:08","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/mornings\/2019\/02\/on-todays-show-94\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3752"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3756,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3752\/revisions\/3756"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
