This Great Cake Contest entry was submitted by Alabama-mom from Auburn, Alabama: The cactus cake is a replica of a saguaro cactus. It's served in a terra cotta pot filled with "sand". Looks so real it will fool your fiesta guests!
Bake each cake mix in a well greased and floured 8-cup oven safe bowl. I used a Pampered Chef batter bowl. Follow package instructions and bake until a wooden skewer comes out clean. (this may as much as double the baking time listed in the box). Cool cakes completely on a cooling rack. Level the tops with a long serrated knife, if necessary.
Liberally cover the top of one cake with green frosting. Place the second cake top to top with the first cake using the thick layer of frosting to secure the two together. Note: You may wish to put a wooden skewer straight down through both layers for additional stability. Line the bottom of your terra cotta saucer with aluminum foil being careful to cover only the bottom of the saucer.
Place your 2-layer football shaped cake on its end in the center of the lined saucer. Frost completely with green frosting. Use a sandwich bag to pipe ribs from top to bottom all the way around your cactus using the same frosting. Insert the broken up noodle in little clumps along the ribs. Fill the bottom of the saucer with graham cracker crumbs to look like sand. Add candles if you wish."

The Ohio attorney general says tests have confirmed that alleged kidnapper Ariel Castro is the father of a 6-year-old girl rescued from his house with three women this week. Attorney General Mike DeWine's office confirmed Castro's paternity in a news release Friday. DeWine says a sample of Castro's DNA was taken Thursday and forensic scientists worked through the night on the case. The girl is the daughter of Amanda Berry, who authorities say was held for about a decade in Castro's house in Cleveland along with Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight.
Castro is being held on $8 million bail. The 52-year-old former school bus driver was under a suicide watch in jail, where he was being held on kidnapping and rape charges.
Police say the women were apparently bound by ropes and chains at times and were kept in different rooms. (AP)

Cheat Sheet: 5 Things You Missed While Living Your Life
September 11, 2009 at 5:17 pm , by Arpita Joshi
According to the internet frenzy (that may or may not have started on TMZ.com) on Wednesday, Matt Damon passed away — but rest easy ladies, the Sexiest Man Alive is still breathing. He was actually in Venice promoting his movie The Informant, and not on a camping trip gone deadly as the rumors making the rounds all said. He confirmed that the stories were untrue when he showed up – in flesh and blood – on David Letterman last night.
2. Tyra Banks showed us her real hair.
On the season 5 premiere of The Tyra Show, Tyra Banks appeared in front of the audience without a weave — something she's never done on TV or while modeling. Why? Because the theme of season 5 is going to be all about accepting inner and outer beauty — you can see pics of her natural 'do here.
3. Ellen Degeneres is the newest American Idol judge.
Personally, we think this is a welcome change to the judging table of the country's favorite talent competition. Ellen is friendly, entertaining, and completely hilarious — and she's always been huge fan of the show so she's going to have a ball doing it. What do you think – will she be able to win over the die-hard Paula fans?
4. The Hubble Telescope gave us new images from space.
The Hubble Telescope was refurbished in May, and it's now back in business – we got to see some brilliant new images from NASA this week, including this one of the Butterfly Nebula. Even if you're not a space geek, you'll appreciate the awesomeness of these shots – see the whole gallery here.
Oprah kicked off her 24th season this week with a fun Black Eyed Peas performance. This video of over 20,000 happy fans dancing along will make your day.

Hardy! Aries! Roode! Daniels! Storm! Angle! Joe! Mangus! Van Dam! #1 Contender! TNA World Heavyweight Championship!
Here we are again
on our own without a contender to Jeff Hardy's TNA World Heavyweight Championship, a problem that we had just a few weeks ago. It seems TNA has failed to understand how to build up contenders to the promotion's highest title.
Instead, we get crap like the gang that shall not be named.
Coming out of Genesis (Jan. 13), Hardy had defeated the previous two TNA Champions Austin Aries and Bobby Roode. The same night, Christopher Daniels and James Storm had a #1 Contenders match, which seemed haphazardly put together and very much on the back burner. Daniels would get the victory, and the title match was set on the Jan. 24 episode of Impact Wrestling.
Because, instead of building up the feud for any amount of time, the best decision was to throw it away two weeks after it started.
Then TNA would travel over to England for a few weeks, a trip Hardy himself could not make. He was kayfabe injured by the gang that shall not be named. The reality was that his felony conviction keeps him from working overseas in most countries. It's a weird circumstance for Hardy and TNA to be in, but this problem will only affect the promotion once, maybe twice a year.
No one has yet to provide a decent reason for Hardy not to drop the strap while the roster is working across the pond.
Bring a new face to the main event scene. Allow the title to get some exposure for these few weeks. Let feuds start to form naturally. Find out who has chemistry together, and start working towards the next reign. A promotion should always know what its next move will be. I'm not even saying they should know every detail or booking decision, or that any potential plans couldn't change on a moment's notice.
At the very least, though, have an original plan in place.
TNA is in a tough position on the calendar. There's a two month gap between Genesis and Lockdown (March 10). That other promotion is in its strongest season of the year. It's tempting to not throw out your best stuff. To try and hide what you have to offer. To not waste the big guns in a down season.
Even if you take those points as truth, that is not an excuse to let the championship fade away stateside.
I'm not a person who always wants the title to be the main focus of every show. I'm perfectly fine with other, more important angles taking center stage. In fact, I often find non-title feuds more enjoyable than the title variety.
After all, a title is only as strong as the workers carrying it, and often less than the best workers are holding the belt for reasons that have nothing to do with the entertainment side. More leeway granted to non-title angles, there are more options available, and it has the potential to be more entertaining when you remove a championship from the picture.
However, when the major storyline is something as bad as the gang that shall not be named, there is something seriously wrong.
Tonight, thankfully, will mark the start of Impact returning focus to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Hulk Hogan will choose the #1 Contender based on four matchups:
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe, Magnus vs. Christopher Daniels, Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode, and James Storm vs. Rob Van Dam.
Instead of going with a straight up tournament style, though, they will be competing to "impress" the Hulkster. Which means we will probably be exposed to the traditional TNA booking.
Angle and Joe are still tied up in that gang that shall not be named bullcrap, with Wes Briscoe's and Garrett Bischoff's recent heel turns. Aries and Roode are the NEW TNA World Tag Team Champions, but haven't given Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez a proper rematch.
Magnus and Storm have legitimate shots, but neither really make me all that excited.
I would count out Rob Van Dam since he is X Division Champion, but it would be so TNA if he was the one to unify the belts.
And then there's Daniels.
I would love nothing more than for Christopher Daniels to get another shot at the strap. The man is one of the most entertaining aspect in Impact Wrestling, and I think he could actually get some good work out of Hardy. The matches will be excellent, the promos entertaining as hell, and the story of a TNA mainstay vs. ex-WWE Superstar is one that never gets old. This is the feud that TNA should be pushing. This is the angle that would make the show fun again.
So of course we will be getting Hardy vs. RVD at Lockdown.
The! Gang! That! Shall! Not! Be! Named!
The gang that shall not be named will do something stupid. Everyone will hate it. That is all I'm going to say about it.
Everything Else! Bullet Points!
- Is it fair to say that, if given the right venue, Austin Aries and Bobby Roode would be the biggest names in sports entertainment? It's almost criminal they are lost in the Impact Zone. I'm not necessarily saying they should head to that other promotion. But these two are something that an Indy could build a name around. If there were any Indies that could pull their collective heads out of their asses enough to make a mainstream impact.
- British Boot Camp contestants Marty and the Blossom twins will take on Gail Kim, Tara, and Jessie Godderz. I will fully enjoy this match for reasons that should be obvious to the loyal Precap readers.
Hopefully, this has prepared you for the night's festivities. Leave a comment below about what you are looking forward to, and please join the entire CSS Thursday night gang in the live blog TONIGHT!

Another View - Gene Robinson: Sen. Ayotte rises above partisanship with 'yea' vote on ENDA
Only 21 states provide job protection for their gay and lesbian workers, based on sexual orientation. Still fewer — only 17 states — provide protections for transgender workers, based on gender identity. In many states, you can indeed be fired for no reason other than being LGBT, with no recourse in the courts. And there are NO federal workplace protections for the nation's 8 million LGBT workers. None. The opportunity to change that is upon us.

Sisters Anna and Irma have bickered over many things, even who should get a lung transplant first.
"It was really painful to watch her cough," says Irma Myers.
"I could live with the coughing, but she couldn't live without the oxygen," says Anna Williamson.
The siblings suffer from a condition that scars the lungs. The Jehovah Witnesses moved from California to Texas so they could undergo a bloodless transplant at Houston Methodist Hospital once donor lungs became available.
The good news came earlier this month - a match. For both Anna and Irma. Each sister would get one lung from the same donor… a first for the hospital.
"How we find a lung for somebody aside from their sickness is based on their blood type and their height. It just so happened they have the same blood type, they are about the same size," says Dr. Scott Scheinin.
Track doctors say the rare match came at a critical time.
"Chances are, they both wouldn't have made it the next 60 to 90 days."
"That bad?"
"Oh yeah."
Irma and Anna are not only breathing much easier now.. they're also able to do something they both love again… sing.
"We became triple times closer," says Anna.
"We both got a lung we each wanted the other to have," says Irma.
In a few months they plan to go back to California and serenade their family for years to come.
Houston Methodist Hospital is the only facility in the country that does bloodless transplants.

New Chip for Square Kilometre Radio Telescope
Anonymous Coward writes | more than 6 years ago0
An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet Aus reported on a new low noise chip which could help to building the 1.8 billion dollar Square Kilometer Array (SKA), the world's largest radio telescope. Wikipedia claims the telescope will be 50 times as sensitive as current instruments. It will have a resolution of able to detect every active galactic nucleus (AGN) out to a redshift of 6, when the universe was less than 1 billion years old and way crazy. It will have the sensitivity to detect Earth-like radio leakage at a distance of several hundred to a few thousand light years, which will help greatly with the search for extraterrestrial life.
Quoting the Story:
Prof. Jack Singh who designed the chip said: 'The big challenge [was] to overcome the inherent noise in an integrated circuit, and to produce an amplifier with the lowest noise possible, with broad frequency band and high gain.' He also commented on the chip's ability to help with Quantum Computer research, due to its ability to operate at millikelvin temperatures, necessary to prevent quantum decoherence."

I had a discussion earlier today with my younger brother about this topic. We both concluded that the original Dream Team was far superior to the Redeem Team. But how much better? If we somehow were able to manipulate the space-time continuum to make it so that it was simultaneously 1992 and 2008 to allow for those two teams to square off in a seven game series to be played in a neutral arena in Asgabat, Turkmenistan (roughly the midway point between Barcelona and Beijing), what would be the outcome of the series?The roster for the Dream Team is (not necessarily in terms of starters and backups):
C - Patrick Ewing; David Robinson (I'll refrain from listing Magic Johnson as a Center)
PF - Charles Barkley; Karl Malone; Christian Laettner
SF - Scottie Pippen; Larry Bird; Chris Mullin
SG - Michael Jordan; Clyde Drexler
PG - Magic Johnson; John Stockton
With Chuck Daly as the coach.
The roster for the Redeem Team is (again, as above):
C - Dwight Howard; Chris Bosh
PF - Carlos Boozer; Carmelo Anthony
SF - Lebron James; Tayshaun Prince
SG - Kobe Bryant; Dwyane Wade; Michael Redd
PG - Jason Kidd; Chris Paul; Deron Williams
With Mike Krzyzewski as the coach.
Would the Redeem Team even win a game?
What would the storyline of each game look like in this clash of epic proportions?

All Midland students participate in competitive interscholastic sports – cross-country, volleyball (girls), soccer, basketball, or lacrosse – during at least two of the three seasons. Our program provides an opportunity for all students to play the game while fostering leadership, sportsmanship, self-discovery, and physical fitness. Students discover their own talents and determination, while experiencing the value of disciplined practice. All Midland teams are coached by faculty members who mentor students in other capacities, so the field, court, and trails are extensions of Midland's learning environment – in particular, cultivating authentic student leadership.
In addition to competitive sports, Midland offers several non-competitive options as an alternative for one sports season should a student so choose. These options include Organic Gardening, Maintenance, Kitchen, Yoga/Pilates, Horses and Outdoor Leadership, most of which are described on the Experiential Learning Course Descriptions page.
Midland School is a member of the Condor League which includes independent boarding and day schools in the tri-county area.
Please contact Tom Rogowski, our Athletic Director, for questions regarding Midland's athletic program.

Just lately I've discovered Common Sense Media and am quite impressed with their tools and advice for parents that are soundly based on, well, common sense. Anyone who has read earlier posts on this blog like this one or this one knows that I'm really big on the idea that security begins with don't be an idiot. So I was quite pleased when Common Sense had this featured article by Liz Perle in the Common Sense Newsletter entitled Rules of the Road for Parents in a Digital Age. She had me at the first line: "Even if you're clueless, you're still your kid's teacher".
Common Sense Rules of the Road for Parents
- Model good behavior. If we're on our Blackberries or iPhones at dinner, why will our kids listen to us when we tell them to turn theirs off?
- Pay attention. We have to know where our kids are going online – and what they're doing there.
- Impart our values. Cheating, lying, being cruel – they're all non-starters. Right and wrong extends to online and mobile life.
- Establish limits. Phone time, video download time, destinations. There's really a right time and place for everything.
- Encourage balance. Get kids involved in offline activities – especially where there's no cell service.
- Make kids accountable. If they have a privilege, make sure they earn it.
- Explain what's at stake. Let kids know that what they do today can be abused by someone tomorrow.
- Find ways to say "yes." That means we have to do some homework and know the sites they visit, the songs they download, etc. – and find ways to use technology that lets us say "yes" more often than we say "no."
- It's not rocket science. Learn to text, send a mobile photo, set up a Facebook page, upload a video. Or have your kids show you how. It's impossible to guide what you don't understand. Not only that, but think of all the anxiety you can avoid by knowing how things work.
- Lighten up, embrace their world, and enjoy the possibilities together. None of us want digital divides in our relationships with our kids. It's up to us to join the fun and help them seize the potential.
Some great stuff here. I think the main point (well at least the point I'd like to make) is that for a parent being clueless is normal, but staying clueless is not an option. And I'd also like to draw particular attention to #5 (Encourage balance). This is where kids – and parents – discover the actual purpose and utility of the online world. Yeah, that's right – it's way too easy to get caught up in the fiction of "socializing" online with people we've never met when in fact most of those people are not at all who they pretend to be. And some aren't even people. The point? Social media is a powerful tool to collaborate and stay connected to real people you actually know, but to just be a poser interacting with other posers never accomplishing anything tangible in the real world is not only pointless, but boring. How do I know this? My son Nicholas is an avid gamer and web designer. So he has spent a good deal of time online since he was fairly young. Several years ago we (Nicholas and I) started volunteering for the FIRST Robotics challenge. In the real world. He now helps mentor and judge the web sites for the teams as well as doing crowd control and other jobs at the actual event. This requires collaboration and communication with other volunteers, the teams and challenge coordinators. Nicholas – and I – now have practical experience collaborating via social media with others folks who are involved in doing something that is very real, very tangible and wicked cool. Needless to say neither of us are interested in wasting time gossiping with posers when we can connect with interesting folks doing amazing stuff. Real stuff.
So if you are a parent, think about these 10 rules. It really all comes down to this: If your kids see you not being an idiot and doing cool stuff that's what they will pay attention to. And everybody will get a clue in the process.

This is the second of four stories that will publish in October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month detailing the stories of breast cancer survivors.
ANDERSON — Toni Cantrell has been writing since she was 12 years old. It has been the one constant in her life and has helped carry her through the tough times.
She and Manuel, her husband of 58 years, have two sons, two grandchildren and one great-grandson. She worked at Pay Less for 25 years, then Elder-Beerman before retiring from Core Source in 2000.
"I hadn't had a mammogram in years," Cantrell said, "and that little voice in my head, which I consider the Holy Spirit, kept saying, 'get a mammogram' over and over again. Finally, I listened and got a mammogram on Sept. 28, 2000. Thank God I listened. A small spot was found in my breast about the size of the tip of my little finger. In six months I was to come back for another mammogram. The spot hadn't changed much but was slightly bigger."
After a core biopsy was done April 23, 2001, Cantrell was told the small lump was malignant and that she had Stage IV cancer. "On April 30, I had a lumpectomy," Cantrell said. A biopsy was also done on the master lymph node near her breast, but no cancer cells were found.
Suggested treatment included chemotherapy and radiation. "Between June and September 2001, I had six chemo treatments, one about every two weeks, unless my white blood cell count was too low," she said. "If it was, then I couldn't have chemo that day."
"From October to December 2001, I had 31 radiation treatments," she added. "During my first visit, they made a mold for me to lay in while having the treatments. I had to lay with my arm up and above my head and my body twisted in such a way, it would have been impossible to lay still for any length of time, plus it would have been very uncomfortable."

This gives a whole new meaning to having red wine with your steak. In an effort to enhance the flavor of their beef, Western Canadian beef producers are feeding their Angus cattle in British Columbia's Okanagan wine and cattle region red wine with their grain. Chefs in the region claim it makes for a unique beef taste, but Canadian food inspectors appear to have doubts. The idea came from Janice Ravndahl of Kelowna, British Columbia's Sezmu Meats. Ravndahl said the beef produced has an enhanced flavor, the marbling is finer and the fat tastes like candy. But giving wine to cows apparently sent up a red flag with the Canadian government food inspectors. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency called Ravndahl and questioned her about sediment in the wine, but they didn't order her to stop. Canadian Food Inspection Agency spokesman Tim O'Connor said they investigated the case and concluded there is no risk to human safety. He said concerns were about animals being fed winery waste byproducts, such as dead yeast or residual yeast as a feed supplement. Ravndahl got the idea for giving wine to cattle late last year while watching a TV food program that featured beer-drinking pigs. As the Okanagan is one of Canada's premier wine regions, getting local beef on the bottle seemed like a good plan. Ravndahl said she started with one young cow who took to the bottle immediately, quickly earning the nickname Wino. "It definitely changes their personalities. They moo a lot more with each other. They get really chatty," she said. Trying to find the optimal time to serve the cows their wine course was the key to getting the best beef. The final analysis: sixty days produces a great taste in the beef. Ninety days might be better but the wine bill adds up fast. The first bovine wine tasting was in April 2OO9 with the 21-day dry-aged beef first hitting the market in February of this year. The cattle get a liter-blend of red wines daily but their preference is for sweeter vintages, she said. Ravndahl said the wine appears to make the steers more docile, which enhances the texture of the meat. "Cattle that are relaxed taste better," she said. "You don't want tense beef."
Cattle experts seem to be on board with the concept. John Church, a cattle researcher at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, said the wine does not appear to have any negative effects on the health of the cows. University of Missouri cattle nutrition professor Justin Sextena agreed. He said the long-standing use of brewing industry byproducts containing residual alcohol does not appear to have harmed cattle. Peter Van Soest, a Cornell University emeritus professor of animal science, said he thinks a little wine could be beneficial to the cattle. The alcohol is easily metabolized by cows' livers, he said noting that while a liter of wine would make a man tipsy, it would have little effect for a 5OO-pound cow. The concept has received rave reviews from Canadian chefs. Chef Roger Sleiman of Quail's Gate Winery in Kelowna, British Columbia, uses the beef in a tenderloin carpaccio served with a touch of truffle, arugula and Reggiano cheese. "We've had great reviews from our customers. At first I thought it was a gimmick," he said. "It costs a bit more but we think it's worth it." And what does he recommend for a wine pairing? A nice Pinot Noir, of course!

Both restaurant chefs and home cooks will soon have a new place in Niles--GFS Marketplace--to buy restaurant-quality meats and produce.
Gordon Food Service (GFS) officials described their prices as on par with membership clubs such as Costco, but said there was no membership fee.
On Monday morning, as heavy machinery dug up part of parking lot, officials from Niles and GFS Marketplace grabbed hard hats and shovels to pose for groundbreaking photos.
"We're extremely excited about being here. We're predicting Niles is going to be one of our best stores," said George Dempsey, area manager for GFS, which sells both wholesale and retail.
The store, which is expected to open in October, will have a 13,000-square-foot sales floor within an 18,000-square-foot freestanding building at the southern end of Golf Mill, between JCPenney and X-Sport Fitness. GFS officials said it would create both construction and retail jobs.
GFS focuses on two areas of business. It started by making truck deliveries of food to restaurants and later branched into operating food stores. Its stores sell restaurant-quality food and are often shopped by restaurant operators, said Suzette Murchison, GFS marketing coordinator.
"The stores are also open to the public. We have as much business to business as we do retail," Murchison explained. "The price points are similar to a Costco or a Sam's Club. We sell a lot in bulk."
Greg Cantley, district manager for GFS, said the company focuses on selling fresh meat, fish, vegetables and other products.
"Because we supply restaurants and caterers, the food has to be of top-notch quality," he said.
GFS has been eyeing a Niles location for some time because its trucks already make food deliveries to restaurants in the area, Dempsey said. GFS also likes Niles' proximity to Chicago restaurants.
The company has 12 stores in Illinois, with the closest in Palatine and Schaumburg. The others are in the southern or western suburbs or far outside the Chicago area.
The Niles store will become the 13th in the state. It will also be GFS' 143rd store nationally. Headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI, the company operates in nine states: Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida.
Dempsey emphasized the store would be hiring people from the community. The positions will include 25-30 part-time staff members, a store manager, two assistant store managers and shift leaders.
GFS officials presented a check for $200 to the Niles Teen Center, which is located inside Golf Mill. Mark Williams, the center's director, said the teens enjoyed spray painting a welcome sign for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Bro, season tickets for which year? Oh my God! Sundays game was all Cowboys fans in that section. It totally sucked so bad dude. I ended up taking my Caddy jersey off at the end of the 3rd quarter because I was getting yelled at in every direction by Cowboy fan. They are so intimidating and not a single Buc fan had my back like they promised. It's just not worth it bro.
good point about the opposing team's fans.ÃÂ The sections that have open seats are being bought up by opposing teams.ÃÂ ÃÂ You can bet that entire section will be Giants fans, etc.ÃÂ if I could do it all over again, Id try different seats and find a section I like before committing to a certain seat.... especially when those other seats cost a fraction of the face value.ÃÂ StubHub is the way to go man, there's absolutely no reason to pay a seat deposit
i noticed a lot of the opposing fans were in large groups on the third level, and in the corner by the pirate ship.

Vikings' outdoor mark not like old days
Posted on Sun, Sep. 10, 2006
[size=13pt]Vikings' outdoor mark not like old days[/size]
Pioneer Press
Perhaps their theme song should change from "Skol Vikings" to Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again."
The Vikings have a healthy slate of outdoor road games this season, beginning Monday night in Washington. This, of course, will lead to a great deal of distress among the purple-clad fanatics in the Upper Midwest.
They will pour over the frightening statistics that reveal just how horribly the team performs in God's given elements. And they will pine for the days at Metropolitan Stadium, when men were men and beat up on the shivering opposition while staring directly into the teeth of an icy wind.
Yes, and players used to walk to the games barefoot, in three feet of snow. Even though most owned several pairs of very nice Hush Puppies at the time. They went well with the Nehru collars.
In retrospect, it seems like a very romantic era, a time when legends were created.
"Romantic? Sometimes we'd go out in the parking lot at Met Stadium to have a run-through. We looked like a bunch of guys playing after Thanksgiving dinner," said Stu Voigt, a Vikings tight end from 1970-1980. "By the end of the year, the field was dirt painted green for TV.
"It was an advantage. Did we like it? No."
The good old days aren't always as grand as people remember. Currently, there is debate as to whether any new Vikings stadium should be enclosed. Some want to go retro and recreate the days when the elements were considered part of a home-field advantage. They are convinced that would alleviate the team's outdoor woes.
"Being outdoors in the elements, playing in those conditions, helped us a little bit," said Matt Blair, a Vikings linebacker from 1974-1985. "Put it this way: We had an advantage because we live here. We lived it.
"I thought we were able to take advantage of people who played in the warmer climates. What are we today, 2-40?"
Well, I looked back about five years and figured it up to be 5-25 outdoors. But you can pick almost any time period since the team moved into the Metrodome in 1982 and come up with something equally hideous.
Yet the pre-Dome Vikings sometimes had trouble in warm weather on the road, so name your poison.
"It hurt our conditioning," Voigt said of practicing outdoors in Minnesota. "You couldn't do the work you wanted to. Guys were five, six, seven pounds heavier because they were bundled up so much.
"We played a different schedule than they do now. Most of our games were in September, October and November. We never had that much bad weather. We could win away from home. But I thought we lost our edge by Super Bowl time, playing in some warm weather city."
Legitimate argument: At least they got there.
Just two dome-based teams have ever reached the Super Bowl — St. Louis and Atlanta. The Vikings have been shut out since moving inside.
"Once they changed from the Met to the Dome and carpet, the team was built on speed," Voigt said.
Apparently, that speed is less of a factor outdoors. It doesn't make sense to me. I can see how it would be affected in mud, snow or rain. Other than that, the issue seems to be more mental than physical. Last year's Vikings twice won outdoor games.
The conditions prevalent at Metropolitan Stadium could never be recreated, not that anybody would want to do that. The Vikings had no real practice facility and, when the Twins still were playing, worked out wherever they could find room. They would travel from St. Olaf College to a ballpark in St. Paul to a Metropolitan Stadium parking lot.
By the time the Twins' season ended, the field was a mess.
"The southeast end zone, you didn't want to go in that corner because it was so slippery," Blair said with a laugh. "It was where the warning track was for baseball.
"One time playing Green Bay, a guy went 40 yards and scored the winning touchdown. He was excited and threw the ball up in the air. Then he fell and slid all the way though the end zone."
"We had a wear-'em-down, physical defense and an offense that gained 3, 5, 7 yards at a time," Voigt said. "That was about it."
Sounds rough and tumble, sort of like tailgating in sub-zero weather. With the regular season now stretching into January, the latter would be a sure thing if the team moved outdoors. But that's a state of mind, too. Just like struggling on the road in sometimes balmy conditions.
Remember that the best Vikings team of the modern era, 15-1 during the 1998 regular season, lost in the Metrodome to the dome-based Atlanta Falcons.
Blair, who as a player made the transition from outdoors to the Metrodome, said each generation adapts to what is working. Today's game is built on speed. But maybe, he added, the old way had its advantages.
"I guess you could say it's the way football should be," he said.
He didn't sound completely sure.

Re: Vikings' outdoor mark not like old days
I'll never forget the day I got to go see the Vikings play against the Giants at the Yale Bowl in New Haven,CT....This is when the Meadowlands was being built and the Giants made the Yale Bowl there home field for a couple of seasons..
There was a hell of a snow storm during that game and I was sitting in the back of the end zone.....We where all throwing snowballs at Ragner......I also was treated to a big Vikings win at the hands of Fran the Man .......A day
I will never forget....God I loved when they used to play in the elements.... ;D

By MONA NAIR6 News Reporter
HELENWOOD (WATE) - A Scott County man who ran a small bootlegging business was found shot dead in his home in May 2005.
Family members say J.B. Posey was not the kind of man who would let just anybody into his house.
Detectives believe he knew and trusted his killer. They say Posey was found dead by friends who went to check on him.
Posey was the oldest of five brothers and sisters, and he had four children.
There are a lot of people who miss him. "J.B. was a people's person. He was friendly, a member of the VFW and was very active there. On Memorial Day, he always took flags to the veteran's cemetery," said his sister, Jeri Dobbs.
"He would always stop by a lot. He was very caring," said his brother, Denny Posey.
Most people in the community were surprised by the murder because they say Posey was not the type of person who could be attacked or scared easily.
He always carried a gun with him. Plus he was social and had a lot of friends. That's why most people believe his killer is a friend who could still be in the community.
"As a rule, he always carried a gun in his back pocket. If you went to his house, he took the gun and put it directly in front of him," said Detective Randy Lewallen.
"When we got to the scene, we discovered Posey's body on the floor of the living room of his house. Our investigation revealed he had been shot in the back of the head," Detective Lewallen explained.
Posey's bootlegging business was illegal. Scott County is a dry county that doesn't allow the sale of whiskey.
His family says Posey would drive in bottles of whiskey from outside the area to sell at his home for a small profit. He was very selective about his clientele.
"There was probably more than one person in the house. It was someone he knew well enough to let into his house and be sitting and socializing with them," the detective said.
The motive may have been robbery. Some money and a case of whiskey are among items missing from the house.
"It's really disturbing to think whoever did this is still right here in this small community," his sister said. Most of Posey's family and friends are still in the area.
Recently-elected Sheriff Mike Cross believes the case can be solved and plans to focus on it for the next few months.
"One of the things that has hurt this case is that this is the third administration that it has gone through," the sheriff said.
Until the killer is found, a lot of people in the community are potential suspects.
"I've met a couple of people out on the road, and they won't look me in the eye. I've suspected they have something to do with it. If someone does not look you in the eye, that tells you they are probably not a real truthful person," Posey's brother said.
If you have information that could help the Posey murder investigation, call 423-319-8532.

Fashion show ramp design
Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld recently showed his couture collection at an off site venue that was designed to look like an air plane. The designer earned a lot of praise for the innovative setting and the collection but our desi designers are not new to the concept of off site shows either.This season, the Wills India Fashion Week, in Delhi will host not one but two off site shows. Day one will conclude with an off site show by Rohit Bal while Tarun Tahiliani will show his line at an off site on day two. Back home, designer Narendra Kumar Ahmed (Nari), Anamika Khanna and Rohit Bal showed their lines at off site venues.While Nari converted the venue to resemble a local train, Rohit turned the entire area into Vrindavan — Lord Krishna's garden and had mogra flowers scattered all over, for effect. Ask Tarun what he thinks of the two off site shows this season and he says, "The reason for an off site is to be able to use different elements that you would not manage to find at the regular venue. This off site felt right — taking advantage of the crisp Delhi weather, the show will unfold under a star spangled sky on a terrace with a beautifully lit Qutub Minar serving as a dramatic backdrop."However, Tarun is quick to acknowledge that off site shows are a mere novelty and don't really serve any purpose in increasing business. "I don't think off site shows effect business positively or negatively. It does help distinguish the brand though," he says.Nari opines that off site shows work best for designers who are capable of creating an ambience that speaks of their brand. "Not everyone can do it. It's difficult to capture the imagination of an audience off the ramp. But yes, I think the trend will get bigger and bigger in the future. Earlier all couture shows commenced at off site shows — its only now that they're restricted to just one venue," says Nari. He adds that unfortunately designers in Mumbai have to face a lot of restrictions when it comes to using public spaces for fashions shows. Hopefully that will change too.
It was a refreshing break from the known faces of city fashion recently at a nightclub, as students of a popular design and law institute took to the ramp.The show, conceptualized and executed completely by the students, was a hit from the word go. Be it the westernwear rounds with hep and happening dresses and gowns, or the ethnic rounds where guys walked the ramp in the quintessential dhoti, the young guns seemed really at home on the ramp.

For years Stephanie and Randy Barfield wanted to adopt children, but it was too expensive. Then they found an unusual solution that finally allowed them to have the family they wanted.
"We were married for 15 years before we decided to adopt our first child from China, and we already had three biological kids," said Stephanie Barfield.
Before adopting, Stephanie was hesitant about the process because, it was too expensive.
"When we realized the expense of adopting a child we knew we could not afford it on our own, so we asked God to show us a creative way to raise funds and he did that through our puppies."
Stephanie and Randy began breeding Havanese puppies to help fund their first adoption and after that it became a business.
It took the Barfield's five years and puppy breeding to be able to adopt their first child. Their first and second child came from China, and their third came from India.
Now Stephanie and Randy have three adoptive children and sell their puppies $15,000 a bred.
"We are open for adoption, we have paperwork on hold in Taiwan," said Stephanie
The two parents are older, but say that doesn't really matter.
"I am 46 and my husband is 55, but old parents are better than no parents."
The Barfields adopt through the Lifesong adoption agency and she says every child deserves a home.
They call their home their puppy ministry.
"For the puppies and anyone that comes into our home, we always share with them our purpose," said Stephanie.
For more information on where to purchase the puppies visit http://www.3bshavanese.com/contact.html.

News: Lloyd Lays His Cards Out, Announces "King Of Hearts" LP
Monday, Jul 26, 2010 9:00AM
Former Murder Inc. artist Lloyd has announced that his debut Interscope Records album will be called King of Hearts.
Making the announcement on Twitter, Lloyd informed followers of his fourth album's title.
"This is going to be the name of my next album/masterpiece..."
"King Of Hearts"
"Release date.. Unknown"
"All my QUEENS, attach a heart ? to your tweet and I'll post it on my page. KING OF HEARTS." (Lloyd's Twitter)
Earlier this year, Lloyd hinted at being in the studio working on a new album.
"Me and Polow [da Don] started it off a couple months ago, laying the foundation. I'm going in with the The Runners and Jim Jonsin again, and I've been talking to Swizz and Dr. Dre about getting in. No features yet." (Hip Hop N More)
After announcing a move from Murder Inc. to Interscope, Lloyd said there was no initial need to force out an album.
"I don't feel the need to rush to release an album. It'll be out later this year. I got a couple of title options, but I'm not 100 percent sure yet," he explained. "I love the way Interscope gets down. I love the way Jimmy [Iovine, label head] gets down. I've always had a good working relationship with Polow [da Don, producer]. Having that creative partner is something I wanted to have, since the very beginning, to have that one creative partner. Mike [Jackson] had it with Quincy [Jones], Janet [Jackson] had it with Jimmy [Jam] and Terry [Lewis]. Justin has it with Timbaland. I feel that me and Polow have something special. I'm really looking forward to that. I also admire Jimmy [Iovine] as a producer. He loves producers. He's got Will.I.Am, Dr. Dre, Polow, the Neptunes, Timbaland. That's what he does. I'm looking forward to it." (MTV)
The album will be his follow-up to 2008's Lessons in Love.
Debuting at No. 7, R&B sensation Lloyd surprised many selling a cool 51,000 in his first week on the charts. The singer's third album Lessons In Love features special guests including hip-hop superstar Ludacris while his Lil' Wayne assisted hit single "Girls Around the World" continues to hit radio airwaves across the country.
