I read a fanpost recently, and after I've written a couple of words I thought it got to long te be a comment so here my Superbowl Dream Scneario goes:
First off I will set the scene: 3 years down the road, the 2016 season:
The previously 3 seasons has fared pretty well: 2013 season: 11-5, 2014 season: 10-6, 2015: 12-4. Vikings making the playoffs in both 2013 and 2015, but just missing out of a wildcard spot in 2014. In 2013 they go one-and-done, but end up in the NFC championsship game in 2015, but end up losing to the would be superbowl champions: Washington Redkins. For the stats guys out there: Peterson has rushed for; 2013: 1895, 2014: 2078, 2015: 1975.
Then enter the 2016 season: Expectations are high and a deep playoff run is expected. But to everybody surprise Minnesota Vikings stumble out of the gate and prior to their bye week in week 7 they are 1-5 with their lone victory goming against Detroit lions, the optimism is low and fans are calling for Fraizer's head. Even though their record says 1-5 each of their losses was within 4 points. Spielman still stand by Fraizer and vikings start to deliver. In week 8 just after the bye week Vikings are facing the 6-0 saints* who are riding Drew Brees hot hand. So far in the season Drew hasn't had a game with less than 300 yards, and not a passer rating below 105.
Vikings put the heat on Drew all game long, but he still manage to put some points on the board. However Peterson won't allow the Saints* to win. Vikigns win a close game 30-27.
From this point on vikings catch fire and win 7 or the next 8 games. Everything falls into place and vikings still have a chance to sneak into the playoffs.
In the seaons finally vikings are going against the Green Bay Packers and as in 2012 Packers have a chance at a higher seed (#1) if they win. And just as in 2012 Peterson has a chance of rushing into history, as he has 1870 yards, 235 yards shy of Dickerson. 236 is a tall order, but not impossible for Adrian Peterson. As usual Packers offense is high scoring and flying but Peterson takes matters in his own hands and singlehandedly destroys the packers with 275 yards rushing. In comparison Ponder just throws for 185, but manages to score 4 Touchdowns, 3 passing and a QB sneak. Adrian just manages a single score but vikings end up winning in overtime on a 55 yards field goal by Blair Walsh. final score 38-35.
Vikings face of against Atlanta Falcons, many not even expecting it to be a contested game since Falcons just got their QB Matt Ryan back after a 4 game injury and their only losses comming in that span. A 12-4 team who had the chance at going undeafeted pryor to Matt's ankle injury. For once it's the defense dominating the game and the score at half time is 6-8 to vikings with 2 field goals each and a safety by Harrison Smith. Falcons receive the ball in the 2nd half and runs up tempo no huddle that caught the Defense a bit off gaurd and quickly scores. The score now being 14-8 after a succesfull 2 point conversion. Peterson didn't get going at all in the first half had troulbe from the beginning of the 2nd with an early fumble, luckily recovered by Rhett Ellison. The defenses once again take over the game and with just 3 minutes left in the game vikigns are once again in control of the ball at their own 13 yard line. After a couple of runs for no gain and a loss of 2 vikings are facing 3-12 at the 11. Vikigns get creative on offense and throws a shuffle screenpass in the backfield to Cordarrelle Patterson who picks up 27 yards with a couple of razzle dazzle moves. 2 minutes warning, vikings with the ball at 38. Ponder is effectiv moving the ball down the field and with 15 ticks left on the clock vikings are at the atlanta 2 with no timeouts left and lining up with 3 wideouts (Patterson, Jennings and Childs), 1 te (Rudolph) and Adrian Peterson in the backfield. Kyle is lined up wide right and childs in the slots. Vikings fool everybody and run the ball with AD and he just manages to leap over the pile into the endzone. vikings win 15-14.
Divisional Playoff round:
Vikings against Green Bay Packers. Packers are eager to get revenge, but this game is nothing near close. Peterson and Ponder hit the ground running and doesn't look bad since gaining a 14-0 lead just 7 minutes into the game. Ponder ends with 27-32, 329 yards and 3 TDs, while Peterson goes off for 172, and 2 TDs. Josh Robinson has a pick six to seal the game and the final score: 17-42.
NFC Championsship game.
Minnesota Vikings versus the New Orleaons Saints*. since being beaten by the Vikings, the Saints* hadn't lost a single game and went 15-1 to be the #1 seed. Vikings receive the opening kickoff and Patterson is looking to break one, getting through the first wave of defenders, but the kicker non the less not only takes Patterson down, but forces a fumble at the vikings 45, recovered by Saints*. They go marcihng in and Drew Brees hit Jimmy graham for a 32 yard TD down the middle. Vikings next possesion Peterson is running extremely hard and breaking a couple of tackles. after a couple of first down vikings are nearing the endzone and Peterson receives the ball at the 5 but once again vikings couff it up. 2 Turnovers in the first quater and terrible memories of the 2009 Championsship game starts.
Drew Brees once again marches down the field with ease and is at the vikings 6 before being destroyed by Everson Griffen, who not only forces the fumble but returns the ball the entire way down the the 3 yard line. Peterson finally get going scores a quick 3 yard TD to end the first quater. The 2nd and 3rd quater goes by without any scoring. Score going into the 4th quarter is just 7-7.
Even in the 4th quater it's manly a game of possessions and neither team is able to move the ball effectivly. Vikigns receive the ball late in the 4th quater, and a long run of 25 by peterson but the vikings at 35 line just as the 2 minute approches. After the 2 minute warning vikigns go playaction deep pass to Jarius Wright, but it's interceptied deep in the Saints* terriotory at the 20th. (Yes for those counting it's a 45 yards pass from the line of scrimmage). Drew begins on his effectiv 2 minute run to end the game. He moves the offense slowly but steady and with 3 seconds left on the clock @ the 25 a 43 field goal would end the game. The field goal is wide left, Tom Benson thought it was good though! Game is going into overtime and with the Minnesota Vikings luck, Saints* win the coin toss. The overtime kickoff is 8 yards deep in the endzone, but they still take run it out, with great luck. A single broken takcle and 75 yards later Blair Walsh finally manages to catch the returner and push him out of bounds. Saints* start in extremely nice field possition. they run the exact same play as their first touchdown and with the balls in the hands of Jimmy graham the game looks over but lucky Harrison Smith lays the wood on him and knocks the ball lose. Incompletely Pass! A run and another incomplete pass later Saints* are facing a 4-3 at the vikings 26 they are forced to either try a field goal or go for it. Even though they missed last one they line up once gain. Right footed kick is up and it is GOOD. But lucky this game isn't done yet with the "new" overtime rules. After a touchback vikings are at their own 20 and after a Adrian Peterson run just short of the first down and a incomplete pass vikings are facing 3 and inches. They chose to play it safe, but a run for no gain leave the vikings at 4th and inches. Next play vikings go playaction bootleg and Ponder expected daylight in front of him, but with a defender right infront of him he is forced to throw the ball and chose to toss it into double covarage to Kyle Rudolph. Somehow, with 2 defenders all overhim he manage to come down with the ball and 1st down at the 35. Next play. 27 yard run of Arian Peterson and things are look good. Saints* fear Peterson more than anybody else and play with a stacked box. Ponder audibles at the line and throw a quick slant to Patterson who runs through an arm tackle and is tackle just inside the 5. Things are now looking really great and the rush peterson up the gut 2 times for 4½ yard. The Vikings try to fool the Saints* with some playaction on 3rd down, but they are all over it and Ponder's pass is deflected and luckily for vikings just fall incomplete. 4th down and vikings chose to go for it! What are they thinking? A field goal would make it sudden death, but Vikings believe in their chances with less than a half yard to go. This will be the discusion for the rest of the offseason. If they make it Frazier is smartest coach, if they don't he's a fool. Vikings do as they should have done on third down: They are trusting Peterson as he pounces the ball into the endzone and just manage to get pass the line.
In the AFC the Pittsburgh Steelers are once again back on the crown and have enjoyed a dominating season, both in the regulare and postseason. One game gave them trouble though, Colts were a tough task but they managed to win and thus the 2016 season finally is going to be Pittsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings.
While Ponder has have some very nice games in 2016 everyone is still worried about his consistency and ability to beat Dick LeBeau's blitzing defense. While Ponder have been steady and improving throughout the entire season he is still struggling against the blitz and early pressure. Vikigns gameplan have to involed #28 heavenly. Vikings win the coin toss and chosses to receive the football. Patterson is still his explosive self and manages to gain 45 yards return. Vikings first play was a run by Adrian Peterson and he manage to break a couple of tackle and gain 9 yards. Next play vikings go hurry-up playaction, deep to Patterson who secures the catch and is pushed out of bounds just shy of the 5 yard line, a 44 yard pass play. Vikings go ultra conservative on the next couple of plays and somehow Peterson manages to be just short of the goal line on a 3rd and goal run and vikings settle for the 3 point lead early in the game.
Steelers dominate the vikings defense and doesn't face a 3rd down situation until their at the 2 yard line and are looking for their 8 minute drive to end with a touchdown and an early lead. Steelers line up in a heavy formation 23 (2 RB, 3 Tight ends), the entire setup looks like a run, and while it is a run it completely fools the Vikings defense with everybody besides Roethlisberger collapsing inside then he keeps the ball on a naked bootleg and go untouched into the endzone for an early lead 7-3 first quarter more than halfway over. After these first 2 possessions neither team is close to scoring before halftime, untill vikings last possessions with 1:25 on the clock. After moving the ball 34 yards after a touchback punt vikings end on a 4 and 3 and choose the try to kick it prior to halftime. Blair Walsh nails the 64 yarder right down the middle. score is 6-7 Steelers.
Steelers receives the ball in the 2nd half, but the ultra conservative Fraizer pulls a rabbit out of the hat and start second half with a succesfull onside kick. Vikings with the ball in very decent possession. Vikings line up like nothing seen nearly all season, 4 wideouts 1 RB, with Patterson, Greg Childs, J. Wright and Joe Webb alongside Peterson on the field. But vikings still do what they do best and handoff to Peterson, who goes the distance. Vikings with the lead 15-7. Steelers ,a little bit shocked, are well prepared for the ensuing kickoff and Walsh kicks it 8 yard deep for a touchback. Vikings looking to continue the steam of momentum and play tight covarage and defense. Pittsburgh have to fight for every yards, and while they still manage to move the ball a bit Sharif "T-Rex" Floyd put an end to that with a beautiful forced fumble and recovery at midfield. Vikings move the ball effectively with a great mixture of quick passes and runs right up the middle with Peterson. The play of the drive comes on a 2nd-5 from the 20 yard line. A typical end around with Patterson catches Steelers off gaurd and he completely fools the one cornerback who had a slight chance at touching him.
Vikings up 22-7 4th quarter comming up. Steelers next drive goes much better and their move the ball effortless and scores after just 4½ minute with a 25 yard touchdown pass to Brown. Vikings are looking not only to move the ball on their next drive but also trying to run most of the clock. While they manage to keep the drive going for a while their conservative run-run-run doesn't secure them any points, but takes up some time and Steelers have 6:37 left to score. however the go 3-and-out and vikings have a chance to put this one to rest. Vikings gain a first down and with another first down could nearly end the game. "Supringsly" vikings run it 3 times in a row, to have them just short of a first down and we'll see another punt just after the 2 minute warning.
Steelers with the ball 1 timeouts and at their own 13 yard line. Roethlisberger is his former self and moves the ball down the field quickly and with just 5 seconds left on the clock the have the ball at the 5 yard line. Roethlisberger does as he always does and after running around in the pocket and pumpfaking atleast 10 times he finally throws a dart to their only rookie on the field. the score is 20-22, and a 2-point conversion will decide weather the game would go to overtime or not. Steelers lineup 5 wideout, and motion in Brown from the outside. The ball is snapped, Roethlisberger fakes the endaround and keeps it himself up the middle where it seems he would go untouched into the endzone. However somehow, Sharif "T-Rex" Floyd manages to grab him with his short arms (perhaps he had some help like this)
And drags him down just shy of the goal line. Nobody can believe it:

Lynn DenlonTalk0
this wiki
Portrayed by Bahar Soomekh
You didn't know that Lynn and Jeff were husband and wife. I had to keep that from you for the purposes of my game. I had to leave out the ruined marriage, the cheating wife.
John explaining how he set up Amanda's Test.
Lynn Denlon is a fictional character appearing in Saw III as Jeff Denlon's estranged wife and a protagonist.
BiographyEditAfter her son's death at the hands of Timothy Young, Lynn spiraled into depression.
She constantly took anti-depressant pills, began to neglect her daughter Corbett Denlon, and grew increasingly distant from her husband Jeff Denlon (to the point where she initated an affair with another man). Because of all this, a fellow doctor named Lawrence Gordon suggested her to Jigsaw.
Character HistoryEditLynn was kidnapped by Amanda Young and placed in a game with her and Jigsaw. Lynn is given the task of keeping John alive until her husband, Jeff Denlon completes his three tests. Some time before then, John had visited Lynn's hospital (Angel Of Mercy) and was told by Lawrence Gordon that the type of cancer he had was inoperable. Lynn was kidnapped by Amanda inside of the hospital locker room and taken to the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, where she was placed in a collar rigged with five shotgun shells, which would detonate if John's heart monitor flatlined or if she moved too far away from him, instantly killing her. Lynn insists to Amanda that they go to a hospital to do the operation on John but Amanda refuses. After saving John during an attack Amanda tearfully agrees to get whatever Lynn needed to do the operation, for example, anesthetics and a power drill. For the duration of their time together, Amanda acts abusively towards Lynn, constantly verbally and physically threatening her, but they work together to keep John alive. Lynn performs extensive brain surgery on John to relieve the pressure on his brain and skull. In the aftermath of the surgery John semi-consciously whispers "I love you" to Lynn thinking she is his ex-wife, Jill Tuck. Amanda sees this, mistaking the woman John is speaking of for Lynn, and grows very jealous of the attention he's giving her. Amanda leaves the room, later to find a letter addressed to her. The letter Amanda received was blackmail from Mark Hoffman, revealing her involvement in the miscarriage of Jigsaw's son Gideon Kramer. He told her that if she did not kill Lynn, he would tell John her secret. The contents of this letter caused Amanda more distress. Following the surgery, Lynn and John talk privately; Lynn reveals to John that her test has given her a new appreciation for her family and that she would give anything in the world to see her husband. Amanda returns telling John that Jeff has completed his last test. John tells Amanda to let Lynn go free but she refuses, believing Lynn has not learned anything. After a very heated discussion, Jeff arrives to the sickroom just as Amanda shoots Lynn in the back, critically wounding her. It is revealed that Jeff and Lynn were married but this was kept a secret from Amanda. Jeff retaliates by shooting Amanda in the neck. John sadly reveals to Amanda that Lynn's test was actually hers and that she was being tested on her will to keep someone alive and she failed. Amanda dies and John gives Jeff one final test; kill him and satisfy his revenge or forgive him for the pain he has caused his family. If Jeff forgives him he will call and ambulance to save Lynn. Jeff chooses to kill John by slashing his throat despite Lynn's pleas not to. John plays a tape telling him he has failed his final test and that he will have to play anther game if he wants to find their daughter Corbett Denlon. John dies and Lynn's shotgun collar activates, blowing her head to pieces, leaving Jeff trapped in the sickroom. Her corpse could later be seen in Saw IV. It is revealed in SAW 3D that Doctor Lawrence Gordon told John about Lynn and how she would be perfect as a test subject.
Bahar Soomekh on LynnEdit
When asked about why she believed her character was being tested, Soomekh said, "I think this is what's so interesting and that's what I would ask is in Jigsaw's mind he's justified in everything that he does, right? These are people, whether they are drug dealers or they've done something wrong. But that's how psychotic and wrong he actually is. Because he justifies it. What did Lynn do? That's what's so disturbing because he's not justified at all in doing what he does. In his mind, he thinks he's helping these people. How does he help Lynn? He doesn't help Lynn at all. But I think, in his mind, because my character's depressed ... so she's been dead inside. She's totally dead inside and this is Jigsaw's way of waking her up and saying, 'What the hell are you doing?' And she does. You see the metamorphosis in her."

Another fairly quiet day on the transfer front for Cardiff City and Swansea City, with just Nicky Maynard's departure to Wigan to report in terms of done deals.
We'll be back tomorrow for the latest news and updates throughout the day.
See you then.
Here's Maynard proudly showing off his new Wigan shirt.
Club confirms Nicky Maynard joins on loan. http://t.co/wydxtaE4bL pic.twitter.com/csgAmddWFF— Wigan Athletic (@LaticsOfficial) January 16, 2014
DONE DEAL: Nicky Maynard has completed his loan move from Cardiff City to Wigan until the end of the season. It's expected the switch will be made permanent in the summer.
This could force Swansea's hand over the Tom Ince deal - the Daily Mail are reporting Tom Ince is heading for a meeting with Monaco representatives over a proposed summer move to France.
Talk of Swansea's interest had eased in recent days, manager Michael Laudrup appearing to distance himself from the informal £4m offer made by the club.
While it was thought the wideman was keen on a move to Swansea, Blackpool were happy to wait to see what the January window threw up with Seasiders manager - and Tom's father - Paul Ince convinced of more offers.
Now it seems the French club could give him the chance to leave on a Bosman at the end of the summer, with a pre-contract able to be signed.
It remains to be seen whether Swansea react or if Ince is persuaded by the talks. Football followers in South Wales will recall Ince opening personal talks with Cardiff City last July after an £8m fee was agreed only to turn down the chance to leave Bloomfield Road.
Southampton boss Mauro Pochettino says he's staying put as the club's manager - despite the departure of chairman Nicola Cortese. Pochettino's expected resignation was forecast to trigger the departure of the club's biggest stars, including Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw and Jay Rodriquez - sparking a potential domino effect for other clubs in the transfer chain. But the Argentine manager has today indicated he won't be quitting - so will the Saints be more stable than predicted?
It's not been the liveliest day as far as Swansea transfer news has been concerned - and this won't help on that front. Hamburg have completed the loan signing of Dutch winger Ola John from Benfica, having been in a three-way tussle with the Swans and Liverpool for his signature.
John, capped twice by Holland, has been snapped up by the German side as a replacement for knee injury victim Maxi Beister.
We told you earlier how West Ham assistant manager Neil McDonald had spoken of his desire to hang onto Cardiff and Fulham target Ravel Morrison. Here's some video of him talking on the subject at a press conference this morning:
Swansea City have been linked with Manchester City fringe player Abdisalam Ibrahim, but they face a battle with St Etienne, Toulouse, Lorient and Olympiakos to sign the Norway u21 midfielder. Here he is in action:
Swansea are again being linked with Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis.
But it is thought it's unlikely the Swans will renew their interest in the France forward who sees his contract expire this summer.
Swansea tabled a £7m-plus bid for the 28-year-old and led the chase for his signature ahead of Newcastle, Spartak Moscow and local rivals Cardiff City after the Ligue 1 club accepted the offer.
But Gomis insisted he wanted to stay put at Lyon, Swansea pressing ahead with the capture of Wilfried Bony for £12m instead which was thought to be their preferred target in the first place.
While Swansea could yet revisit the situation in the summer should World Cup hopeful Gomis - who has scored seven goals in 15 games for Lyon this season - they are not in the hunt for a frontman as it stands.
And Talksport are reporting that would be good news for Besiktas
Cardiff City right-back John Brayford is being linked with a loan move to AFC Bournemouth.
The Bluebirds' £1.5m signing from Derby County last summer has made only two first team appearances for the club, both in the Capital One Cup.
French defender Kevin Theophile has kept Brayford out of the tea, while Kevin McNaughton, recalled from a loan spell at Bolton, was also selected ahead of Brayford when Theophile was injured before the match at Arsenal.
Bournemouth, though, are not in urgent need of a right-back with Simon Francis in outstanding form.
Manager Eddie Howe is far more likely to go for a striker with Bournemouth forward Lewis Grabban on the verge of a £1m-plus transfer to Brighton.
Cardiff's bid for Mame Diouf seems to be official over after the striker's agent confirmed the 26-year-old will be staying with Hannover for the rest of the season.
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer had hoped to land the Senegal frontman and lodged a bid worth around £3m to try and lure him from the Bundesliga club.
But despite Diouf making it clear he would not sign a new contract when his deal expires this summer and Hannover's general manager admitting they would be prepared to cash-in on the former Manchester United scholar, the German's new boss Tayfun Korkut had stressed he was keen to keep Diouf.
Having failed to land a potential replacement in Chile striker Martin Castillo, Hannover wanted to hold onto Diouf despite Cardiff's interest and a higher offer from Turkish side Trabzonspor.
Now agent Jim Solbacken - who is also Solskjaer's representative - has told Norwegian media that Diouf will stay in Germany until the summer.
Here's the full story on Filip Kiss's candid comments about Cardiff City after his loan move to Ross County.
"It's more difficult for the manager when he has someone telling him what to do but players just get on with it.
"We heard all the crazy stories about the owner as well and laughed about it. He changed the colour of the shirts from blue to red, which a lot of people were not happy with.
"But I am not sure about the story about him wanting players who have an eight in their date of birth."
Swansea's route to signing Tom Ince from Blackpool seems to have become a little clearer after Newcastle reportedly withdrew their interest. The youngster has been offered to a number of Premier League clubs, but the Swans appear to be still in pole position.
West Ham have played down talk that reported Cardiff target Ravel Morrison is prepared to go on strike to force through a move to Fulham - but says they would be willing to sell at the right price.
The Hammers have reported Fulham to the Premier League over their interest in the 20-year-old, and want the midfielder to stay.
But assistant boss Neil McDonald said a big bid could be enough to prise him away from Upton Park.
"I imagine every player has a price," he said.
"He had a great run of three or four games where he was outstanding but he's a young kid and he's still learning the game.
"He goes through inconsistency to a certain extent and he's had a little bit of a groin injury as well so that's stop and start."
Another Swansea player who could be on his way out his striker Leroy Lita.
Only recently returned to the Liberty Stadium after flopping on a loan spell at Brighton, Barnsley could be ready to take a punt on the 29-year-old as former Swan Jason Scotland gets set to leave Oakwell.
Lita has reportedly attracted the interest of Tykes boss Danny Wilson and there will be no-one at the Liberty blocking the move after Laudrup made it clear the frontman has no future in South Wales.
Jazz Richards has been the subject of interest over a second loan move out of the Liberty Stadium this term. The Wales international spent the first-half of the season at Huddersfield, impressing on international duty against a star-studded Belgium in October along the way before losing his place in the Terriers' team.
Richards returned to the Swans just before Christmas, sitting on the bench in the recent clash at Old Trafford but Millwall under new boss Ian Holloway has reportedly asked about the 22-year-old's availability.
Swansea's injury problems could see any potential move delayed but it is known the homegrown defender is keen for games while Dwight Tiendalli - back in contention for Sunday's clash with Spurs - is preferred by Michael Laudrup as back-up to Angel Rangel at right back despite failing to convince this season.
This from Cardiff City correspondent Terry Phillips, who has been tracking Nicky Maynard's move to Wigan:
"Cardiff City's £2.75m buy from West Ham 18 months ago looks certain to complete a loan move to Wigan Athletic today.
"The striker has scored one goal in three starts and nine substitute appearances in total for the Bluebirds.
"Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks intent on adding a striker to his squad before the transfer window closes and is allowing Maynard to sign for Championship club Wigan.
"He completed a medical at Wigan yesterday and is expected to complete a loan move until the end of this season with a view to a permanent transfer this summer."
Filip Kiss may only be on loan at Ross County, but comments he's made in the Daily Record about Cardiff City won't help his chances of returning to his parent club.
Here's what he told the Scottish paper: "I wasn't surprised to see Malky go. There have been so many changes to the club and the owner wants everything to move quickly.
"He demanded promotion right away and there was a lot of pressure put on the manager.
"The owner wanted things done his way so it was a difficult situation for him.
"Maybe it will be better for Malky to be at another club where he can do his work his own way. I'm sure he will do as good a job as he did at Cardiff.
"He will go far in management. He is a very good boss and works so hard as he is always striving to improve.
"Malky will land a top job elsewhere because clubs noticed the results he achieved at Cardiff.
"He won promotion and got the club to the Carling Cup Final before doing well in the Premier League.
"I am sure he has a bright future ahead of him."
Swansea were linked with a move for Liverpool's young winger Raheem Sterling as the transfer window opened, but a turn of fortune has seen the tricky winger re-establish himself in the first team at Anfield, making the chances of a loan move now extremely remote - even with the return to fitness of Daniel Sturridge.
Here's what Sterling told the Liverpool Echo about his impressive January form: "I'm really enjoying having a run in the team.
"I've been given a chance, the manager has put faith in me and played me week in, week out so far. Hopefully I can produce on the pitch and carry on.
"I knew within myself that there would be a point in the season when I would get a chance. I just had to be ready.
"In training I was working hard to hopefully get a chance. The chance came and hopefully I can repay the manager by either scoring or assisting."
News on Crystal Palace's rumoured interest in Cardiff City defender Mark Hudson - we can confirm that Eagles boss Tony Pulis did make a bid for the Cardiff defender, but it's been knocked back by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Hudson has been brought back into the first team fold under the new Bluebirds boss and now looks certain to have a future at the club.

No. 13 Oklahoma State and UTSA kick off the first game of a three-game series between the two schools this weekend, as two undefeated teams square off in an early season showdown. The Cowboys will visit the Roadrunners in San Antonio Saturday, with UTSA making the trip to Stillwater over the next two years. Television coverage will begin at 12:00 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
The Cowboys won their opener last week against Mississippi State, running for nearly 300 yards in a 21-3 win in Houston. Oklahoma State allowed a field goal to the Bulldogs with 8:38 to go in the first, and did not allow its opponent to score again, holding Mississippi State to just two third-down conversions on 16 attempts.
UTSA is in its second transitional FBS season, and will become bowl eligible in 2014. Last year, in their first transitional season, the Roadrunners went 8-4 under the tutelage of former Miami coach Larry Coker, who is still the head coach in San Antonio. UTSA won their opener last week, traveling to Albuquerque to defeat the New Mexico Lobos 21-13.
The numbers
Rankings and records: Both the Cowboys and the Roadrunners stand at 1-0 on the season. This is the first matchup between the two teams.
Vegas: Oklahoma State is a 27-point favorite. The over/under is 60 points.
Weather: High of 97 with a low of 73. Partly cloudy.
Three names to know
J.W. Walsh/Jeremy Smith. The Cowboys' starting quarterback and running back will combine for a lethal ground attack the Roadrunners will have to contend with. The two combined for 227 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in the opener against Mississippi State, and Walsh had twenty total touchdowns last season.
Caleb Lavey. The senior linebacker for Oklahoma State had eleven tackles with two for a loss and a half of a sack against the Cowboys, earning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Eric Soza. UTSA's quarterback is a legitimate playmaker who threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns while running for 48 yards against New Mexico last week. Last year, he had 18 touchdowns against three interceptions, with six more touchdowns on the ground.
Two things at stake
While it is a road game, Oklahoma State still needs to avoid national embarrassment with a loss to a relatively unknown team.
UTSA had a quietly great season last year, and Larry Coker's program could announce itself on the national stage with a big win over a ranked team.
How to witness
TV: Noon ET on Fox Sports 1.
Radio: Here's a list of Oklahoma State affiliates. For UTSA, tune in locally to 92.5 The Patriot.
Online streaming: Fox Sports 1 does not appear to stream online.

We were not really set up for group portraits but the students were having fun and I find that this is a key ingredient for learning. It is also one of the hardest things to teach; that good creative work relies on both a sense of play and concurrently the discipline to work long hours through problems.
I recorded the following sequence, using a Canon D60 and a 50mm Pentax Super-Takumar prime lens. This accounts for the very shallow depth-of-field.
These students were part of my Al-Quds University TV Studio class during the Fall, 2012 semester at the Institute of Modern Media. We were between serious "takes" when the two young women began playfully interacting with another student's eyeglasses. Again, the sense of play is important to any serious creative endeavor.

---- — The Boston Red Sox hired Victor Rodriguez as the assistant hitting coach yesterday, just two days after hiring Greg Colbrunn as hitting coach.
Rodriguez, 51, spent the past six seasons as Boston's minor league hitting coordinator.
He has been a coach in the Red Sox organization since 1995 — working in several different capacities, including Latin field coordinator, minor league hitting instructor and Single-A hitting coach.
Colbrunn, 43, spent the past six years with Single-A Charleston, serving five seasons as hitting coach and one season as manager.
The Red Sox now have put together their 2013 coaching staff.
Arnie Beyeler, who managed the PawSox this past season, will be the first base coach. Torey Lovullo, a former PawSox manager who coached first base for the Blue Jays in 2011 and '12, is the bench coach.
Brian Butterfield, who was the Blue Jays third base coach for the past three seasons, is the new Red Sox third base coach.
Juan Nieves, who served as the White Sox bullpen coach from 2008-12, is the new pitching coach.
The Red Sox also kept Gary Tuck, who will be entering his seventh straight season as Boston's bullpen coach.
The Red Sox weeks ago made public their preference to have two hitting coaches.
Boston manager John Farrell said Wednesday via conference call that it is important to build a lineup with depth and quality hitters.
"And then (secondly), to not only give away at-bats but to work at-bats where there is a relentless approach that forces pitchers to respect them from the first pitch of the at-bat and for our hitters to have a disciplined zone that they're not chasing pitches out of the strike zone," Farrell said. "This is where Greg's approach comes in: to maintain that consistency at-bat to at-bat to give us that end result — and that is quality at-bats that run pitchers' pitch counts up to exploit the weak link in a pitching staff."
Colbrunn said coaching major league hitters will be different from working with Single-A hitters.
"When you're in A ball, you're going through some mechanical adjustments, you're going through work ethic, you're trying to build a foundation so they can become good major league hitters," Colbrunn said. "When you're dealing with big leaguers, they've gone through that process. ... They have a real good idea of how to hit. A lot of it becomes more mental than it does physical. … When you get to the big leagues, a lot of it has to do with game plan and approach — how to attack a pitcher."
Atchison becomes free agent
Left-handed reliever Rich Hill of Milton, right-handed reliever Scott Atchison and outfielder Ryan Sweeney were not tendered 2013 contracts and now are free agents.
Hill was not tendered a contract last offseason but later re-signed with Boston.
Atchison, 36, posted an impressive 1.58 ERA in 51.1 innings for Boston this past season but spent 55 games from the middle of July until mid-September on the disabled list with an ulnar collateral ligament tear. He opted not to undergo Tommy John surgery.
The Red Sox received Sweeney last offseason in the deal that sent Josh Reddick to Oakland. He played limited time in '12 because of injuries.

Bruins Nation lays out the five areas that Rick Neuheisel must succeed in if he plans on having a successful season and saving his job in Westwood.
"I enjoyed working here. Obviously I enjoyed working here. This is part of the profession. The only thing is, the only disappointing thing is I don't get to be around these players, who I really enjoy. It's going to be a special defense. Obviously you can see the talent. As soon as they grow up and get older next year, it's going to be a special team, and I wish I would've been a part of it. But that's the profession, and we know that."Inside UCLA with Jon Gold May not have been the best coach (okay, understatement), but he's a class act. Best of luck in the future, Coach Bullough.
BruinsNation discusses the firing of maligned defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough and oft-criticized receivers coach Reggie Moore.
"UCLA defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough and wide receiver coach Reggie Moore were fired Saturday morning, according to a source in the program who was not authorized to speak on the subject..." Probably the two most people agreed they'd like to see leave. I wonder what this means for Chow.
How can the California Golden Bears attack the UCLA Bruins on Saturday and emerge with a much needed victory? We look at both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, and explain why Shane...
UCLA's utilization of the blitz. Overall, I'd say it was successful with a sack, a turnover, a QB laid out and probably as many plays for little gain as went for decent/big gains.
In addition to Larimore, Bullough gets recognized.UCLA defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough was named the Rivals.com National Coordinator of the Week Unfortunately I haven't kept up with my Rival account and can't read the full article, but I thought it would be nice to get this out there for you guys that hadn't seen it.

I had probs with a few downloaded movies for which the sound would not work. I downloaded and installed ac3codec and now instead of just no sound, my media player simply freezes when I try to play those files. Any suggestions? should I download more codec? Thanks for any help!
I was just searching around for codec packs when I found this thread (first posted today!), & I have EXACTLY the same prob as 'manilagold' & I was searching around for some good codec packs to install to try & solve the prob, but is this necessary?
I'd love to hear of any solutions aswell please! - Cheers :)
here is a tip from an old man ...
Never install Codec Packs.
Only install the codecs you need.
It screws your computer and at best it slows it down.
Pop over to www.deviosity.com for more info and some help.
thanks Old Man - you're right. I got a prog called ac3filter and all the probs have been fixed. Thanks a lot, this forum is great.

Transmission Shifting Anomalies Allison 3000
Posted 09 October 2012 - 08:28 AM
Operating conditions: In cruise control, economy mode, pac brake off, 59 miles/hr (1550 RPM's).
Yesterday while traveling through the rolling hills of Missouri.....I noticed that on some hills the usual smooth shift from 6th gear to 5th was quickly followed by a jerking motion as if it really wanted to go into 4th (it did not go there). This happened several times in my 170 mile journey. I have Silverleaf, what parameters should I monitor to gather more pertinent detail.
I took it out of Economy mode...same result.
Took it out of Cruise and did not notice the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

It turned out to be a problem with the Alternator voltage regulator(s). They put out a noise signature on the 12 volt wiring.
Good test-- take a drive and see if the cruise control works when engaged. If it works fine, drive for a period of time. Disengage the cruise and then reengage it. Do you notice the same issue with the transmission?
Note, at times it takes over an hr. for the problem to reappear.
I run silveleaf and now monitor the 12 volts to see if the voltage remains stable, if it starts to vary and the little green indicator in the voltage window changes from green to yellow or to red, suspect the alternator.
I would also have an issue with the speedometer jumping or varying and the tachometer reading would remain the same. Speed reading would change from 60 to 70+ or down to 50 or less.
Just my observations. Rich.
You could look in the photo gallery and look at my pictures and text regarding alternator and ignition issues.

Update.....try bad fuel....the jerks and glitches became more frequent and under varying conditions. At about 1/4 tank of fuel I gassed up and almost immediately there was a change. After about 100 miles the problem was gone altogether. I am about to change the filters.

The man accused of murdering three people and burning a home to cover his tracks was found guilty on all charges Monday.
Justin Hurd, who is accused of killing Kevin Young, Kinshasa Wagstaff and Jasmine Hines in February of 2008, was found guilty of three counts of murder, kidnapping, and arson.
After a massive fire on Patricia Ryan Drive, Young and Wagstaff were found dead in the home and Hines was found dead with chemical burns in Huntersville.
The seven men and five women of the jury heard weeks of testimony and lengthy closing arguments before reaching the verdict.
Hurd showed no reaction as the court clerk read the jury's verdict for the charges one by one.
"As to Kevin Young you find the defendant, Justin Dwayne Hurd guilty of first degree murder, answer yes. Under the first degree felony murder rule, answer yes," said the clerk.
Friday, defense lawyer Alan Bowman described his own closing argument as tedious. He explained to the jury he wanted to go through the details of why three of the prosecutions' key witnesses were not believable.
He tore apart the first witness Antonio Harman, the man who can place Justin Hurd and Nate Sanders meeting in Atlanta a couple of days before the murders. He even went as far as to say it's possible Harman was part of the crime. Bowman also ripped apart the credibility of the jailhouse snitches calling them Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
"Put those guys aside what do you have in this case, you have DNA on water bottles and a steering wheel. That's it. That's it," said Bowman.
Prosecutor Clayton Jones said Thursday the state didn't chose the quality of those witnesses, Hurd did when he spoke to them in jail.
"They weren't there. They're not saying the defendant told them the truth. I'm telling you what he said. You take it or leave for whatever it is," said Jones.
The defense again revisited the question of Hurd's DNA found at the two crime scenes.
Thursday they introduced the possibility of a relationship between Hurd and the victim Kevin Young. Friday Bowman said DNA does not have a time stamp, and secondary transfer could have happened as well. He also argued the DNA analysts work for law enforcement and the prosecution.
Bowman said one of the experts went on the stand saying Hurd's DNA matched the DNA on the steering wheel, instead of saying could not be excluded like she wrote in her report.
"I thought this was about the science not her opinion," said Bowman, "She abandoned the science for an opinion that was more favorable."
Friday there were just brief moments where prosecutors objected to Bowman's closing. Thursday they instructed jurors to analyze all the evidence.
Jurors selected a floor person and deliberated for about five minutes Friday before breaking for the weekend.
Hurd was arrested in 2009 and extradited to Charlotte from Ohio. CMPD said they also connected 20-year-old Nathaniel Sanders to the crime in 2009, but Sanders had already been murdered out-of-state in 2008.
Assistant District Attorneys Reed Hunt and Clayton Jones were prosecuting for the State.Hurd was represented by a trio of attorneys from out-of-state. They include Alan Bowman, from Newark, NJ; Carl Grant, from Columbia, SC; and James McMillan, of New York City.
Sentencing is the next phase of this trial. Jurors will hear from additional witnesses before deciding if Hurd will be sentenced to death. They have been told by the judge not to discuss this case and the sentencing phase will begin Wednesday.
The lead defense lawyer for Justin Hurd told the judge Monday the team will be calling an expert witness during the sentencing phase. The lawyers chose not to present any witnesses or evidence during the trial to earn the right to speak twice during closing arguments.

NEW CASTLE, Pa - A search of a New Castle home on Friday found drugs and weapons.
Officers from the New Castle Police Department and members of the District Attorney's Drug Task Force Special Investigative Unit searched the home at 212 Hillcrest Avenue.
The search warrant was served after federal marshals arrested Michael Antonini on a warrant from Wyoming.
The New Castle Police Department confirmed that at the home they found several bags of marijuana to the amount of 1,089 grams, 40 Xanax pills, 9.4 grams of crystal methamphetamine, an assault rifle, three shotguns, and nearly $2,500 in cash.
Antonini is being held in federal custody, and charges against him are pending.

That's right folks, read it and weep. Snoop Dogg has made a deal with veteran TV sit-com producer Don Reo (who has sit-coms such as My Wife and Kids and Two and a Half Men to his credits) and Warner Bros TV, to star as the father in a still untitled new sit-com.
No details yet on the premise or further details, such as the actual plot or premise for the show, but it will soon be taken to networks to see which one will bite first.
More details to come later...

*** Before the herd mentality tramples on Snoop Dogg's head***
"I think it's unfortunate when people choose to focus on a small portion of a group to make overly broad statements about the group as a whole"
Say it!
"Every movie ain't for every black person. Sometimes we forget we are not a monolithic group. We choose a movie just like anyone else..based on actors, storyline, demographics ect. So to me it is not a question of black people supporting it..it is the question of blk people who are interested in THIS story supporting it ~ By befree1619 on September 14, 2011
Say it loud, be black... and be proud!

"I'm with Jeff O: no need to lump all of us Christians [or personalities] together" ~ By blaqbird on September 13, 2011
Now I'm home. Some may not like Snoop because of his personal image, but if we can champion movies like Shame ( a movie starring a white "Sex Addict, better known as a pervert or sex freak or whorish man) and The Help, we damn sure can support a black actor (brotha) working his craft. In this - Snoop's new endeavor - is it about Snoop, art, or the messages within the sit-com?
I say, "go ahead Snoop with yo bad self". Do your thang my brotha. Some are going to like it and some will not, we ARE NOT a monolithic group. Some are going to hate on Snoop Dogg before the product hits the floor, and that's their problem.

Janine Anderson dies after heroic fight
Janine Anderson at petition signing earlier this week.
photo/J. Miles Cary
Janine Anderson, a sick nuclear worker and an advocate for thousands of others, died this morning after a long struggle with debilitating illnesses linked to her work in Oak Ridge.
Richard Anderson, her husband of seven years, said she died in her sleep at their home in Maryville. Doctors said it was probably due to a heart attack or stroke, he said.
Anderson, 56, was major player in the national effort to get legislation passed to provide a compensation fund for workers made sick by exposures in the Cold War workplace at nuclear facilities around the country.
She was a developing force in the Coalition for a Healthy Environment, the Alliance for Nuclear Worker Advocacy Groups, and the Cold War Patriots.
Anderson's latest cause was an effort to create a National Day of Remembrance for Cold War nuclear weapons workers, and she helped kick-start that movement earlier this week with a petition signing in Oak Ridge.
Her husband said she called that her "dream" and hoped that a resolution creating that special day would someday bear her name.
Anderson was featured prominently in last year's award-winning series, "Deadly Denial," by Laura Frank of the Rocky Mountain News.
Smith Mortuary is handling the arrangements. Richard Anderson said plans are in the works for a "Celebration of Life."
"She didn't like funerals," he said.

PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, can be a whole new kind of war for our young men and women returning from Iraq and Afhghanistan. The opposite of fighting alongside your brothers and sisters in arms, this battle is often fought alone, against demons the soldier hides from others. The power of the documentary form is strongly felt as On the Bridge not only gives voice to the personal trauma our warriors endure but also as a means to help them honor their service and move forward as Americans.

Marion Cotillard's Oscar Dress, From Runway to Red Carpet
Marion Cotillard's Oscar Dress, From Runway to Red Carpet
by POPSUGAR Fashion 48 Reactions 1 Shares Print
Just like with Ellen Pompeo and her SAG Awards gown, for Marion Cotillard and her Oscars gown, it was love at first sight. "I've worked with him several times," she said of Jean Paul Gaultier, who designed her fishtailed frock. "When I saw this dress from his last collection, I knew I wanted to wear it."
Her white and silver mermaid gown was based on a similar dress from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2008 couture collection — except that one was black and gold. So I'm asking you to step back, and imagine: Do you like Marion's dress as she wore it, or do you wish she would have worn the black and gold runway version? I'm having trouble deciding which I would have preferred . . .

Gaultier's mermaid dress is absolutely stunning! Like especially the gold / black for it create different levels of shades on waist / hemp. The "flower" pattern details on breasts gave a cute feminine touch too!

I prefer the black and gold because it has more contrast and depth. But I think the white would have been nicer if it had more of a contrasting color to it. Or what would have really been great, is if it had been peacock blue/green and gold - the "scales" to me are reminiscent of peacock feathers. Although maybe it would have been too loud...

I like the black and gold white one a lot but Marion's coloring wouldn't go with it, it's too warm. She looks good in the white one, it's icy which goes with her cool tones. It's better that she went with the white one.

i like the white better. the pattern looks more like fish scales than does the black and gold. and, the black and gold looks a little bit too similar to leopard print. Plus, i think the black and gold would have blended with her dark hair.

The white looks better I think, because it enhances her sweet personality. The black and gold one is more like whoa, watch out. But still good. Would look good on somebody like Gisele Bundchen or Naomi Campbell.

The white/gold is stunning. I saw La Vie en Rose before I knew who she was - what a shock! Marion is STUNNING! (And Edith Piaf is, well, not, what a remarkable transformation!) The dress was the funkiest, styliest part of the Oscars. Perfection.

The black and gold really looks gorgeous in photographs... "they" said the white was much prettier in person than the camera shows. She totally looked amazing and it suited her personality so well. I would have chosen the black and gold version myself but I don't think you can go wrong with either. beautiful!

I love them both, but I think the black and gold is, as syako said, less bride-like.
metallicnymph 6 years
I immediately loved the white when I saw it on the red carpet... but something wasn't quite right... it had something to do with the texture of the dress visually, or lack thereof. Seeing the gold dress, I adore it! The way the cut of the bodice is more visible gives me what I was missing. With the white and blue dress the contrast wasn't strong enough. However, the white is certaintly more goddess-like. And I adore Marion Cotillard! While I was certain that Cate would win best actress, I've never been happier to be wrong. She is so adorable!

The Only Thing That Matters for Spiritual Influence is Integrity: Build it, says Mel Lawrenz
"The highest currency leaders trade on is trust."
How's that for a Monday morning reminder! And what a reminder it is, especially at the start of a week that will tempt us in any number of ways to violate that trust, that will coax us into sacrificing our integrity at the altar of selfish ambition, desire, pleasure, you name it.
This powerful reminder to us ministry leaders comes from Mel Lawrenz's new book Spiritual Influence: The Hidden Power Behind Leadership. Our highest currency as ministry leaders is the trust we cultivate and maintain between us and our people. In other words, the only thing that matters for spiritual influence is integrity. As I wrote last month, one of the main reasons we believe God has called us to ministry is to influence people. We got into this business, paid or volunteer, in order to influence people to give their life and lifestyle to King Jesus. And the trust it takes to have that privileged influence must be cultivated and maintained.
While flipping through Lawrenz's book, I was reminded about my weighty responsibility to steward one of my greatest assets as a leader, a life of integrity. He reminded me that integrity carries with it the heavy burden of being whole, intact, connected. And that burden has everything to do with pursuing a whole, intact, connected public and private life. Here are some potent words for us this Monday:
The pursuit of integrity includes a growing coherence between public and private life. An influencer who is one person in public and a completely different person in private is leading a disjointed life. If public persona contradicts private personhood, then there is a danger, in a worst-case scenario, that private corruption is being masked by the image of public life. It is almost too painful to recount how many times across the ages leaders have ridden the wave of public ascendancy and influence, all the while hiding a complete lack of character. Sometimes the farce is exposed, and often times not. (60)
It seems easier more than ever to hide such a disconnect. Now one can craft the perfect digital persona through their Facebook or Twitter avatar, all the while living a life elsewhere online, or offline, that's despicable—that's everything but whole, intact, and connected.
What's a leader to do, then, in order be a whole, integrated person? In order to be consistent between their public self and the private self?
Something I have tried to do in my own ministry is be as authentic and real as I can about my own personal life. I know the prevailing text-book wisdom has been for people in ministry to not be vulnerable and open and authentic about their own struggles, but I have found this to be a helpful posture in which to teach and minister. In fact, I think our world craves such a posture from their leaders, especially spiritual ones. From Nixon to Clinton to now Petraeus, every generation has witnessed the failings of leaders, Christian or not, who portrayed one thing and did something else. People are craving the real deal. Lawrenz reminds us that young people especially "expect spiritual influencers who are congruent in their public and private lives." (64) And one way we spiritual influencers can give them this is by being open and honest about our own lives.
In one of my first sermons at my current church, I shared about a six-month stretch of career firings. In July 2006 I was fired from ministry for some on-going character problems. Then four months later I was fired from an upscale department store for improperly reporting my returns, a.k.a. commission fraud. It was a painful and embarrassing time in the life of Jeremy Bouma, but I decided to take a risk in order to build trust. I also wanted to risk in order to continue a pattern of authenticity in order to keep me honest to my own self. Yes, we should take care in what we share—we should never share struggles that would compromise another person, for instance. But there's something about leaning into a pattern of self-exposure in ministry that helps guard against rampant disconnect between our personal and private lives and actually build and maintain integrity.
Lawrenz makes a good point that often leaders think integrity is merely about avoidance. But he insists, and I agree, that integrity is both "a quality of life and process of living." (59) In other words, yes it's about living well, but it's also about cultivating well. "It is a committment to a whole-life process of constructing and reconstructing character…Integrity is a process that is never finished." (59-60) To be a whole, integrated person we must work at it.
If that's true, what can you do—this week, this day—to construct, reconstruct and maintain your character? Now do it. Build your integrity with cultivating care.
Let us end with a simple prayer from the Psalmist: "May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you." (Ps. 25:21) Amen.
Jeremy Bouma has spent a decade ministering among our postmodern culture, first in Washington D.C. and most recently as a pastor in West Michigan. He is the founder of THEOKLESIA—a content curator dedicated to helping the 21st century church rediscover the historic Christian faith—holds the Master of Divinity and Master of Theology from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, and writes at www.novuslumen.net.

A causes B causes C causes destruction of A before it causes B......... yep causation has to give and if time is a truthful manifestation of the order of causation then time has to give. As objects are both near and far simultaneously in time both realities must be manifest truthfully to a perspective in time. That which is far in time will get compress into that which is near in time AND that which is near in time will expand over that which is far relative to each perspective. Depending on how separated these time points are if they are close they get near and near by the force of their connection or if they are far then they will get farther and farther away by the force of their separation. T'is the gravity of the matter. I hope I've over analysed this for everyone, good luck modelling that on a computer!

After their divorced dad (played by Tim Robbins) leaves them at home while he goes and collects some important papers at work, younger brother Danny (Bobo) finds an antique game which he proceeds to play, much to the annoyance of his older brother (Hutcherson). Similar to the events of "Jumanji," the mysterious game sets off a series of strange events and propels the brothers out into space where they must keep taking turns playing the game, facing down robots and aliens in order to return to their normal life on Earth.
Jonah Bobo on the Stunt Work in "Zathura:" Bobo claims that getting wired up and flying around the set was one of his favorite things about working on "Zathura."
"It was so fun but we got really hot in the harnesses because we had a biking shirt, biking shorts, then the harness, which was like sort of overalls. And then we had to wear our clothes over it and put holes in the clothes so we could attach the strings. But it was really worth it because we actually got to [fly]. It felt like we were flying. We were just up in the air, totally. It was so awesome," said Bobo.
Though the two young actors didn't receive much training before getting strapped into the harness, Bobo says he felt completely safe. "What made it safe was we had stunt doubles and they did all the stunts before us so they knew it was safe."
Jonah Bobo on Director Jon Favreau's Decision to Use as Little CGI as Possible: "The fact that Jon...he thinks that its much better to have more practical things than computer generated so yeah, it was much easier to actually be afraid of the Zorgons when they were actually there."
Jonah Bobo on Bonding with His Onscreen Brother, Josh Hutcherson: "Well you know Josh says that he had nine years of training because he has a younger brother Connor that I hung out with. But basically we just had school so we didnt really get to play. But at lunch, wed always eat really fast so we could play a game of basketball or something."
Jonah Bobo Shares His Favorite Days on the Set of "Zathura:" "I have two. One was when I was flying on the harness and two was when I had to be horrible at baseball. That was so hard because really when I need to get something to my dad, I just throw it to him. And like it was sort of hard because I had to throw a ball to Tim [Robbins] and Im like, Alright, here comes a fastball, but I couldnt. I had to act like I couldnt [throw]. It was sort of hard to act like I couldnt throw the ball. I was afraid that I would make too good of a throw. Im not trying to be a show-off but I was afraid it would actually go in his glove. Im like, Okay, how do I do this?'
Jonah Bobo on "Zathura's" Target Audience: "I think that its really a kids movie and I think its a family movie, too, because like 'Star Wars' and stuff - thats a kids movie but theyre really violent. Its very violent because theyre killing and the lightsabers and stuff. But this movie is more of a family movie because its sort of violent. I mean there are meteors and Zorgons and everything but nobody gets killed. Close to being killed or eaten but "

Texas Senator John Cornyn was at the Reese Research Center Thursday touring the Texas Tech Wind Science Center.
Flanking the senator during his tour were Tech officials along with member's of the media all itching to hear what the senator had to say about Wednesday night's 74-25 vote to bail out the nations economy.
Senator Cornyn compared himself and his colleagues to another group of public servants, but on a different mission. "This was really like firemen answering a fire trying to put the fire out or contain it while we continue to take other steps that are necessary to keep our economy on track and create jobs," Senator Cornyn said.
He went on to say this is more than just Washington bailing out Wall Street. In fact, he said, if that were the case he would have voted against the bill. But the bailout has more to do with jobs and Americans' ability to live the lives we're accustomed to. "We have a lot of challenges in our economy at this time. Unfortunately as a result of a handful of people unfortunately with tremendous power so I understand why people are mad. I'm mad too. But after you're done being made you've got to do something to solve the problem and that's what we tried to do yesterday."
Cornyn said the senate has been counseled by some of the best economic advisors around and he believes this plan will work if passed in the House.
Senate Bill Passes; Now On To The House
In less than a half hour Wednesday night, the U.S. Senate approved a massive bailout plan for failing U.S. credit markets. It's very similar to the one rejected Monday by the U.S. House, and NewsChannel 11's Justin Michaels breaks down the changes.

This post is short and the idea is embryonic. I'm drinking my coffee as I write this, so nothing is up to speed. Even if it's not ready yet, I want to get it out there.
I don't know where reality ends and unreality begins. I've stopped expecting Daniel Bryan to get his grand karmic payback. The babyface doesn't always go over, especially when Triple H is involved. The business judgment rule is very lenient. Last night, WWE got the kind of heat Freddie Blassie said you'd get in the territories because they didn't give the fans what they wanted. Whereas a crowd in 1960 might have tried to stab Batista for winning, last night's crowd simply chanted Daniel Bryan at the top of its lungs.
WWE has heat right now, good and bad. The company's stock is hot because of TV rights, the network, and the most star studded roster in years. The rumor mill is hot with legendary names because nobody seems to be out of reach for WWE under HHH. Last night in Pittsburgh, WWE had major heat because the fans in attendance were pissed off. Judging by the IWC, the viewers at home were pissed, too. Judging by Lance Storm, Mick Foley, and Jim Ross, there was probably a good percentage of the WWE locker room that was pissed. I'm certain Randy Orton and John Cena were pissed when a crowd shat all over their performance as they risked their physical well being for their pleasure.
The reaction all over cSs' frontpage today and, indeed, throughout the IWC is one of revulsion. Revulsion that our hero ate a clean loss to Bray Wyatt and revulsion that Rey Mysterio was no.30 in the rumble instead of the Goat. Triple H, who idolizes the old NWA, might see this as a victory for his Authority, of the validation of the fans' investment, and proof that the new kayfabe has made marks of everybody. Vince McMahon, like PT Barnum before him, believes there is no such thing as bad publicity.
I don't know where and when WWE will reach a tipping point where fans tune out instead of cheering harder. However, it's instructive to look back at the NWA, where the crowd's hero would chase for years. Could this be a return to long form? Or is just a burial of a too small "good little hand" with mediocre mic skills in favor of the conquering (pseudo-) movie star come home?
The point is that I don't know, Dave Meltzer doesn't know, and nobody really knows. We're all getting worked, or maybe not. Maybe it's still real to you. I think the response of the Universe has been stunning and the fallout has been fun. I'm on the edge of my seat to see what unfolds on Raw tonight. That's the beauty of the new kayfabe.
My coffee's done and there's work to do. See you tonight, or tomorrow in Geno Mrosko's reaction thread.
