Newegg again offers the refurbished Logitech MK520 Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Combo, model no. 920-002553, for $19.99. Apply coupon code "VISACHECKOUT" and check out via Visa Checkout to cut the price to $17.99. With free shipping, that ties last month's mention as the the lowest price we've seen. (It's also a current price low for a refurb by $7.) This mouse and keyboard set features ergonomic design and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, with up to three years of battery life for the keyboard and up to one year for the mouse. Deal ends October 30.



A 90-day warranty applies, but it's unclear who backs it.

Sears offers the Sharp AQUOS 60" 240Hz 1080p LED LCD HD Television, model no. LC-60EQ10U, for $999.99 with free shipping. Plus, Shop Your Way Rewards members will receive a $210 SYWR credit.

It features a native resolution of 1920x1080 (1080p), edge-lit LED backlight, USB, and four HDMI inputs.

Like Hockey Except Totally Different

In your moments of crisis, you can be inspired by the struggles of your favorite team.

Do you remember that time the Baltimore Ravens were down at the half, then came back to win? What did they say? They said "Boy, the coach sure jumpstarted that team, didn't he?" Do you remember that time the Dallas Cowboys collapsed in the last quarter? What did they say? "It looks like the team's gone flat!" Car metaphors and football are twined together in the American consciousness like hot dogs and the 4th Of July. And it's time you all accepted that.

What sins lie in the hearts of pets?

Bear witness to the impulse of remorse which dogs them.
