Singer/songwriter/ace guitarist Richard Thompson is nothing if not prolific. After almost 40 years and numerous albums both on his own and with the seminal English folk-rock ensemble Fairport Convention plus countless anthologies, tributes and session appearances he's spawned a body of work that soars in dimension and ambition. Last year alone, he released three remarkably diverse albums: a collection of all-new material titled Front Parlour Ballads, a soundtrack for the film Grizzly Man, and a Website exclusive, the impossibly ambitious 1,000 Years of Popular Music. Now comes this sprawling five-disc set of outtakes, rarities, covers, live tracks, and unreleased material, 85 songs in all. Although the album is mostly geared to Thompson's faithful, its sheer breadth and dimension as well as an ultradetailed booklet of history and track details makes it a quick catchup for the uninitiated. Admittedly his droll disposition and unlikely observations brand him as somewhat eccentric, but in this remarkable overview, his wit, brilliance, and inexhaustible creativity ultimately shine through.

Texans make three roster movesPosted by on December 7, 2010 – 3:48 pm
The Texans have placed defensive end Jesse Nading on injured reserve, signed safety Quentin Demps and re-signed defensive tackle Malcolm Sheppard to their practice squad.
Demps (5-11, 206) was a fourth-round pick out of UTEP by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008. He had 12 tackles, one sack and one interception in two seasons with the Eagles and returned kickoffs as a rookie, averaging 25.3 yards per return with one touchdown.
A San Antonio native, Demps played for the Hartford Colonials of the United Football League in 2010. He returned an interception 73 yards for a touchdown in the Colonials' season finale on Nov. 20.
Nading had not played since injuring his left knee against the New York Giants in Week 5. He finished his second season out of Colorado State with nine tackles and 0.5 sacks in five games.
Sheppard was on the Texans' practice squad earlier this season before being promoted to the active roster on Oct. 25. An undrafted rookie from Arkansas, he appeared in one game and was waived on Nov. 30.

AFL looks to offer NBN services at football matches
Summary: If the Australian Labor government is re-elected, the Australian Football League will look to provide Wi-Fi to fans at matches using the National Broadband Network.
As part of a re-election push, Communications Minister Anthony Albanese has promised to fast-track the rollout of the National Broadband Network (NBN) to Etihad Stadium in Melbourne as part of a trial for the Australian Football League (AFL) to deploy Wi-Fi hotspots to fans at football matches.
As well as Etihad Stadium, Albanese announced on Saturday that if the Labor Party is re-elected on September 7, the AFL's Docklands headquarters would also be hooked up to the NBN with a trial of NBN Co's 1Gbps down, 1Gbps up enterprise-grade broadband product ahead of a planned commercial release in 2015.
At the stadium, the AFL has said it will deploy Wi-Fi hotspots for fans as part of a pilot project before looking to roll out Wi-Fi to all major AFL venues across Australia.
It is unclear whether the AFL is becoming a retail service provider (RSP) directly accessing services from NBN Co, or whether the AFL will sign up with an existing RSP such as Telstra, Optus, or iiNet. A spokesperson for Albanese told ZDNet that it was too early to say, and said that the AFL would work out the details of its Wi-Fi product.
ZDNet approached the AFL for a comment, but no response had been received at the time of writing.
The move for the AFL to become an RSP would not be unexpected, however, with the AFL increasingly looking at how it can directly reach fans. It has already begun mobile broadcasting through a Telstra AFL app, and employing journalists to directly report on AFL news to the fans.

Top-ranked Virginia opens its season in a matter of days -- and coach Brian O'Connor still hasn't announced his starting first baseman or second baseman, or his weekend pitching rotation.
And O'Connor says that's a good thing.
"Because we have so much depth and competition, I want to keep it that way to bring out the best in everybody," he said Monday at the Cavaliers' official media day. "I think as we move on, in the early part of the season, we'll start to get a better idea of maybe what the best thing for us to do is."
UVa will have eight of its nine lineup regulars, and two of its weekend starters, back in the dugout on Friday, when the Cavaliers open the 2014 season at noon against Kentucky in Wilmington, NC.
The question is where O'Connor will fit his many pieces.
He said Monday that the first base opening would be filled by either Mike Papi or Nick Howard. Papi spent last season as the team's primary left fielder, while Howard split time between third base, shortstop, and the Cavaliers' starting pitcher on Sunday.
Howard moved from third base to shortstop following Branden Cogswell's injury last spring. Cogswell could be O'Connor's shortstop again this season, with John LaPrise at second base. Or Cogswell could shift to second base, with freshman Daniel Pinero at shortstop.
"You see guys playing positions they never played, or you've never seen them play before," Cogswell said Monday. "But seeing them change, and seeing them adjust to, and succeeding in those new positions, it's been nice to see. So in case one guy does go down, we know we have plenty of other guys to fill in the pieces."
On the mound, O'Connor listed sophomores Brandon Waddell -- who spent last year as UVa's top starter as a freshman -- Nathan Kirby and Josh Sborz, along with senior Artie Lewicki and freshman Jack Roberts as potential starters. O'Connor said Howard and Whit Mayberry were in line to fill the Cavaliers' vacancy at closer.
Even with that uncertainty as opening day approaches, UVa still enters the season with unprecedented expectations. Last month, Baseball America and Perfect Game both put Virginia at No. 1 in their preseason national polls. It will mark the first time UVa will enter a baseball season ranked No. 1 in the country.
On Monday, the Cavaliers said they're ready to start earning that top ranking on the field.
"We didn't expect anything, which we haven't in years past," said junior outfielder Derek Fisher. "And this coming out, and these polls being what they are, is obviously a great honor. But again, it's all going to be proven this season, and that's where it really means something."
"It really hasn't changed what we do here," said Cogswell. "We still go out and we try to get better as a team every day. We don't feel like we have that target on our back. We know if we go out and we compete, and if we do what we're asked, and we give it everything we've got, there's nothing much we can do."
"That doesn't mean all of a sudden, somebody thinks that you should win the national championship. A lot has to happen between now and then," said O'Connor. "We're four or five days away from now it really mattering. And you can put that aside when the start of the season happens."

(Min 3 characters)
A court for the
Mauduits' quarter of Standlake manor was mentioned in 1254, when the lord of one of the other
quarters owed suit there. (fn. 29) In 1279 all four lords
claimed pillory, tumbrel, and assize of bread and
ale, and in 1285 gallows, (fn. 30) but no such liberties
were recorded later, and in the 17th century the
lord of Bampton, as lord of the hundred, held a
Michaelmas court and view of frankpledge at
Standlake in September or October and enforced the assize of ale. (fn. 31) Separate courts baron,
held by lords of each of the quarters throughout
the Middle Ages and by Magdalen College
following the manor's reunification, met in the
14th and 15th centuries once or twice a year, in
the later 16th century usually every other year,
and in the 18th century sometimes less frequently; in the 15th and 16th centuries they
issued field orders, but from the mid 17th
century they dealt almost exclusively with copyholds, sometimes at special interim sessions. (fn. 32) A
general court baron was recorded in 1847, but
thereafter individual copyhold grants only, the
last in 1882. (fn. 33) The lord of Bampton's Michaelmas court and view, which issued field orders in
the later 17th century, (fn. 34) continued probably
until the earlier 19th century. (fn. 35) A court house,
apparently on Standlake High Street, was mentioned from the 15th century to the 17th, but all
or part was usually let to tenants, (fn. 36) and in the
late 18th century courts were said to have met
formerly in the Chequers inn. (fn. 37)
Tenants in Standlake and Brittenton, the part
of Brighthampton within Standlake manor and
parish, (fn. 38) formed a single homage. In 1536 a court
baron appointed officers to enforce fishing and
field orders, (fn. 39) but officers in the mid 17th century were elected at the lord of Bampton's
Standlake court, when they included a constable
for Standlake and another for Brittenton, tithingmen for each of the quarters of the manor, a
field warden, and two inspectors of carcasses. (fn. 40)
In 1622 the constable of Standlake received 15s.
rent towards highway repairs, apparently a temporary expedient. (fn. 41)
Brighthampton tenants of Hardwick manor
attended that manor's courts and views of frankpledge from the Middle Ages to the later 19th
century; by the 16th century they belonged to a
different tithing from the Hardwick tenants.
Officers included a constable for the part of
Brighthampton within Hardwick manor and
Bampton parish, elected annually until 1842,
and a hayward with shared jurisdiction over
Standlake common, whose office continued after
inclosure. (fn. 42)
For civil and parochial purposes the part of
Brighthampton within Bampton parish was administered independently, raising its own rates
and presumably electing its own officers, though
no overseer was mentioned in 1642. Probably in
the 15th century and still in the late 19th
Brighthampton appointed a chapelwarden for
Shifford chapel. (fn. 43) Brittenton was administered
with Standlake. (fn. 44) Two churchwardens for
Standlake were recorded from 1530 and two
collectors or overseers from 1642, (fn. 45) and in the
earlier 19th century there were two surveyors of
highways, who seem usually to have contracted
out road repairs. (fn. 46) In the later 19th century
Standlake vestry appointed a waywarden, 2
overseers, 2 churchwardens, 3 allotment wardens, and 2 assessors, and nominated constables
to the magistrates. (fn. 47) Grass stewards, recorded
from c. 1775 until inclosure, were said in 1852
to be appointed annually at parish meetings;
there were then 4 for Standlake, presumably
including Brittenton, and 2 for Brighthampton,
with shared responsibility for Standlake common.
Duties included repair of gates and fences,
drainage, provision of powder and shot for birdscaring, and provision, with the rector, of town
bulls; their income included rents from small
meadows and commons, and profits from sale of
bushes and scrub after haining. Occasionally the
grass stewards appointed herdsmen. (fn. 48)
At inclosure responsibility for cleaning ditches
and watercourses and maintaining some private
roads passed to the newly established Standlake
Drainage Board, financed by annual rates. (fn. 49) In
1938 chief responsibility for the area passed
under the Land Drainage Act of 1930 to the
Thames Conservancy Catchment Board, though
in the 1940s the Standlake Board retained limited powers over roads, bridges, and minor
ditches. (fn. 50) A resident police constable was recorded from 1861, and c. 1930 a police office was
built near the school. (fn. 51) A pair of 'parish' stocks
remained at the Green until c. 1927, when their
use was still remembered. (fn. 52)
Claims in the early 17th century that the parish
was overburdened with poor prompted a petition to the justices of assize. (fn. 53) In 1775-6
Standlake spent £104 on poor relief, in 1783-5
an average of £158, and in 1803 £267 or c. 9s.
per head of population, a relatively low figure.
By 1813 expenditure was £579 or c. 20s. per
head, rising to c. 29s. in 1819. It fell to 12s, in
1824, rose again in the later 1820s, and in 1834
was 19s. per head. A rented workhouse with
accommodation for 14 inmates in 1775 was
re-established in 1781, when the poor were
chiefly employed spinning wool for a Witney
factory; it had closed by 1803, when 31 adults
and 4 children received permanent out relief and
12 received occasional relief. Under £2 was
spent on setting the poor to work in 1775-6, and
c. £5 in 1802-3. By 1813 there were 36 adults
on permanent and 10 on occasional relief, and
18 adults were relieved permanently and 14
occasionally in 1815. (fn. 54)
A select vestry to oversee poor relief, established in 1819, continued until 1834, with 8-10
annually elected members usually including the
curate and leading farmers. (fn. 55) Besides authorizing weekly and extraordinary payments in
money, clothing, or kind it confronted rising
unemployment, ruling in 1819 that all inhabitants should employ labourers in proportion to
their rates, and the same year distributing 20
labourers among the ratepayers by ballot. (fn. 56) A
supervisor of those put to work on the roads
received 6s. a week, and in 1820 action was taken
against labourers allegedly leaving the roads or
gravel pits to purloin firewood. (fn. 57) Inhabitants
supplementing their income by spinning hemp
were to be employed by the overseers whenever
hemp could not be supplied, and were to receive
additional allowances for carriage of hemp. (fn. 58) A
new workhouse was established c. 1820 at the
south of Rack End, adjoining or incorporating
existing parish cottages, and a governor and two
guardians were appointed; nothing is known of
its operation and at its sale in 1840 it had long
been let as 5 separate cottages. (fn. 59) In 1824 the
vestry appointed an assistant overseer on a salary
of £20, and the same year vaccinated those
potentially chargeable to the parish. (fn. 60) From 1820
the vestry ceased paying rents or supplying beer
at pauper funerals, (fn. 61) and weekly allowances, then
7s. a week for a man and wife and 1s. 6d. for
each child, were reduced to 5s. 6d. and 1s. 3d.
respectively by 1824. (fn. 62) From 1825 relief was
denied to anyone keeping a dog. (fn. 63)
Brighthampton spent only £16 on poor relief
in 1775-6 and an average of c. £18 in 1783-5.
In the earlier 19th century capitation was usually
lower than in Standlake and Brittenton, 14s. in
1814 and, exceptionally, 6s. in 1815. By 1819 it
had risen to c. 26s. but declined during the early
1820s, rising again to c. 20s. in 1828. In 1834 it
was 14s., and total expenditure was £78. Eight
adults and 6 children received regular out relief
in 1802-3, and between 8 and 10 adults in
1813-15; there was no occasional relief, and no
workhouse. (fn. 64)
After 1834 Standlake and Brighthampton
belonged to Witney union, and from 1894 to
Witney rural district. In 1974 they became part
of West Oxfordshire district. (fn. 65)

The Governing Body of the International Labour Office (ILO) approved a new list of occupational diseases at its meeting on 25 March 2010.
This new list now replaces the one in the Annex to the Recommendation concerning the List of Occupational Diseases and the Recording and Notification of Occupational Accidents and Diseases (No. 194) which was adopted in 2002.
This ILO list of occupational diseases is designed to assist countries in the prevention, recording, notification and, if applicable, compensation of diseases caused by work.
The new list includes a range of internationally recognized occupational diseases, from illnesses caused by chemical, physical and biological agents to respiratory and skin diseases, musculoskeletal disorders and occupational cancer. Mental and behavioural disorders have for the first time, been specifically included in the ILO list. This list also has open items in all the sections dealing with the afore-mentioned diseases. The open items allow the recognition of the occupational origin of diseases not specified in the list if a link is established between exposure to risk factors arising from work activities and the disorders contracted by the worker.
The new list has been the result of careful technical preparation and political negotiation which include consultations with the tripartite constituents, feedbacks from member States, analysis of the new and emerging risk factors at the workplace, examination of the national practice in the recognition of occupational diseases, evaluation of the international scientific development in identification of occupational diseases and review and revision by tripartite meetings of experts.
The criteria used by the tripartite constituents for deciding what specific diseases to be considered in the updated list include: that there is a causal relationship with a specific agent, exposure or work process; that they occur in connection with the work environment and/or in specific occupations; that they occur among the groups of workers concerned with a frequency which exceeds the average incidence within the rest of the population; and that there is scientific evidence of a clearly defined pattern of disease following exposure and plausibility of cause.
"Creating safe and healthy working conditions is a challenge to which the ILO has been responding since it was founded in 1919. As our world develops, with new technologies and new patterns of work, the challenges change and new risks emerge. When safety and health measures are not followed or fail, accidents, injuries, diseases and even deaths may occur. Victims of workplace injuries and occupational diseases have to be compensated properly and prevention actions at workplace are needed so that similar cases will be prevented. This new list of occupational diseases reflects the state-of-the art development in the identification and recognition of occupational diseases in the world of today. It indicates clearly where prevention and protection should take place. The world's working population and their families will benefit from this new list." said Seiji Machida, Director of the ILO's Programme on Safety and Health at Work and the Environment (SafeWork).

Implementing the plan for public conveniences
Improvement works at Parade Gardens are now due to finish in early December.
Improvement works at Charlotte Street have been completed ahead of schedule and are open again Tuesday 18th November.
Improvement works at The Shallows in Salford will start (Tuesday 18th November), and at Alexandra Park and Sydney Gardens in Bath (Monday 24th November). These will be completed before the Christmas period.
Please follow this link for our November update
Improvement works have been completed at:
Monmouth Street (Seven Dials), city centre Bath
Odd Down Park & Ride (off A367)
Monksdale Road, Oldfield Park (Sandpits play area / Two Tunnels foot/cycle path)
Alice Park, Gloucester Road, Lambridge
Memorial Park, Keynsham
The new cubicles being installed by Healthmatic combine a number of improvement features:
- A high standard of cleanliness and safety and able to handle large numbers of people using them
- Large enough for a parent with a couple of small children and a pushchair to use together so parents and carers can keep a better eye on their children
- Built into the existing toilet buildings, disability compliant with safe sharps boxes
- Many more baby-changing facilities than there are now, accessible to male and female parents and carers
- High-tech controls means access can be 24 hours / 7 days a week all year or the timers can be adjusted remotely to suit local needs
- Access by coin entry to a private cubicle with its own hand-washing and drying facilities (as for the existing auto-loos in Bath and North East Somerset which have been operating successfully for 10 years)
- Resistant to vandalism and misuse with an easy clean tiled interior and hard-wearing fittings
- Removal of the male/female separate areas into unisex cubicles, access by coin entry, both deterrents to anti-social behaviours
- Problems are detected remotely enabling rapid response by Healthmatic's engineering and maintenance teams
Reporting problems:
From Monday 6th January 2014, all the Council public toilets are being managed and cleaned by our contractor.
Any problems should be reported direct to Healthmatic's 24 hour service on 01249 823143
The facilities at Paulton continue to be managed by the Parish Council, who should be contacted direct for any problems or queries.

Many of the Council Public Toilets have been upgraded to be fully accessible and this is noted in the list of toilets. All refurbished toilets will include a disability compliant cubicle, RADAR key access will not be available at those locations.
The future for publicly accessible toilets
A 'Provision Strategy for Public Toilets' was adopted at the Cabinet meeting (item 118) in December 2011. See under 'Related Documents' for a copy of the Strategy document.
A draft version had been considered by the Planning, Transport & Environment PDS panel on Tuesday 13th September. Follow this link to see the PDS papers.
This has led on from a Public Consultation carried out between November 2009 and February 2010 seeking views on where and how many toilets are required for residents and visitors, along with who should provide and management them and what they should be like. The consultation results and the recommendations from the Safer & Stronger Communities Overview & Scrutiny Panel can be seen here:

How to Grow Your Email Marketing List
As a small business owner, you're concerned about getting the maximum ROI out of your marketing budget. Email marketing is a highly effective and affordable method of keeping your brand in front of your customers and generating more sales.
Growing a targeted email list takes time and patience. Instead of buying a list, build your list organically so that your group consists of people who are genuinely interested in what you have to offer. In order to build your list organically, you should:
- Make Subscribing Easy – First and foremost, you need to make your newsletter subscription form easy to find so your readers won't miss the opportunity to opt-in.There are many different places for you to place your form. The right sidebar, in the header, at the end of your blog post, the left sidebar. Test what works best for your site, or even try more than one subscription box on a page!
- Offer Something Of Value – People constantly want to know what's in it for them. In order to get people to sign up for your list, they need to know they will get something of value. Give a discount, an exclusive deal, a free eBook, advice, or something else in exchange for their email address. Make sure that benefit is showcased right in front of them in your sign-up form.
- Use Calls-to-Action – People don't know what you want them to do unless you tell them. If you want them to sign up for your email marketing subscriber list, tell them that. If you want them to forward your newsletter to friends who might be interested, tell them that too. Put these call-to-action buttons everywhere you can to get people to subscribe to your list. This means all over social media, blogs, at trade shows, etc.
- Create Great Email Content – Your email message needs to really stand out if you want people to stay subscribed, and if you want them to forward the message to their friends, family, and colleagues that aren't already on your list. Like we stated above, readers have to reap a benefit from your email. Make the "what's in it for me?" crystal clear in your message. Your value proposition should hit readers in the head almost immediately.
- Let Them Know What They're Missing – After sending out emails, regularly tease your social media followers with hints of upcoming newsletters that they'll miss if they're not subscribed. Mentioning email only discounts that they can share is another sure way to have new subscribers opting in.
- Offer Other Sign-up Options –Include your social media icons in all of your newsletters so that your readers can easily share them with their friends and provide links to your opt-in page on all of your social media networks.
There's no shortcut to growing a loyal base of subscribers, but these tips will not only help you build a better relationship with your subscribers, it will attract the attention of potential subscribers. The key to strong email list-building to is attack from as many angles as possible.

88 Fair Drive
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Category: Attractions and Amusement Parks
Region: Costa Mesa
When legendary musicians pass away, fans pay the ultimate homage by impersonating their acts—it's an attempt at giving our heroes immortality. One musician we're trying to keep alive forever is, of course, Michael Jackson. It's time to remember the man with one glove at the Hangar at the OC Fair when Michael Firestone hits the stage as MJ in Moonwalker—Reflections of Michael Jackson. When Firestone is on stage, you'll swear Jackson was still alive and as young and athletic as he was in the '80s (and we heard a rumor that this Michael even got a nose job to look more like his idol). This authentic performance will knock you out as Firestone and his band run through Jackson's musical repertoire. Make sure to bring your dancing shoes.

A Learning Opportunity For Young Vikings D-LinemenPosted by on September 12, 2011 – 8:39 am
I was immensely disappointed while standing in the locker room after Sunday's season-opening loss to the San Diego Chargers. But as I stood just outside of a media huddle surrounding DE Jared Allen's locker, I saw and heard reason for encouragement and optimism.
Allen had a great game against San Diego, tallying 6 tackles to go along with half a sack and an INT. The Vikings were not able to pressure Chargers QB Philip Rivers enough, but it wasn't because of Allen. Regardless, when the result goes against the Vikings, it's Allen – a leader on the Vikings defense – who has to answer the critics.
On Sunday, he did a good job of that and provided outstanding leadership along the way. Flanked to the right of Allen's locker in the visiting locker room at Qualcomm Stadium were Brian Robison, Letroy Guion and Christian Ballard; Fred Evans was in the area, too. I'd classify all four of them – even 4-year veteran Robison because he's a first-year starter in 2011 – as young defensive linemen. And they were sitting at their lockers when Allen was meeting with reporters.
Allen, coming off a great performance in a game his team lost, answered questions with grace and never pointed a finger at anyone but himself or the team as a whole.
"We blew it, man…We just give them the end of the game. We give them 15 yards in penalties. That's not acceptable."
Allen didn't give San Diego anything in penalties. But he lumped himself into the group of players who committed three, yes three, encroachment/offsides penalties in the game's final series, which eventually gave San Diego a 1st down via penalty and allowed Rivers and Co. to line up in the victory formation and kneel on the ball, rather than have to bite, scratch and crawl their way for a game-winning 1st down into the teeth of the Vikings run defense.
It was a good learning opportunity for those young defensive linemen, who were playing without perennial Pro Bowler Kevin Williams. I could tell they were listening to Allen, or at least could hear Allen, as he answered the questions and took responsibility for the defense's performance. If I were a young player on a team with great veteran leadership that was expecting to return to the playoffs, I wouldn't want to be a part of the reason one of the veterans had to answser questions about making mental mistakes at the end of a big game.
I've said for the past three weeks that Allen had the best training camp of any Vikings player, and that he's going to be a productive player for the defense this season. It's great to see Allen's productivity is transcending the football field and entering the locker room, where the Vikings have a host of young defensive linemen who need to continue developing.
If those young defensive linemen follow Allen's lead, their development won't take long.

A "Learning Opportunity?"…..you mean these players did not know that they need to wait for the ball to be hiked before they move forward? I trust they went over this in Middle School, High School, College, and with Mr. Frazers excellent pre-game instructions

Why are the blogs focused on the defense? Clearly our weakness was not being able to throw the ball for more than 39 yards …

and if he does by some freak occurance manage to get open he drops the ball even though it hit him in the stomach …
By Rye on Sep 12, 2011 | Reply
The young defensive line did a pretty good job.
To me, the disturbing thing is the coaching.
It seems like they think just because they have a good running back, that's what they need to do all the time. They are so predictable.
Isn't a good running attack supposed to open up the pass when defenders put 8 in the box? Why in the heck are the vikings not passing? Bad pass protection and EXTREMELY conservative play calling. The vikings had only 2 pass yards in the second half!!!!!
By Jorgie1 on Sep 12, 2011 | Reply
The d-line collapsed in the second half along with the rest of the team. It's going to be a very long season.

Bernard Berrian Sucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Robins on Sep 12, 2011 | Reply
Why do we still have Bernard Berrian? Sidney Rice was much better and he is now gone. Duh!!! And why do we have McNabb who isn't any good? 39 yards? The Eagles and Redskins knew he wasn't any good so why do we have him? Play Ponder. He is our future and we all know he will play better and get more then 39 yards. McNabb can't teach him how to win. McNabb is a loser. Wake up before you throw the whole season away.

Watching the pass to Berrian that everyone is fussing about ~
1) he had 2 steps on the CB ~
2) Loadholts man hit McNabb just as he threw the ball and it came up short ~ I would say by 8 or 10 yards ~
3) As berrian adjusted to the under thrown ball the DB got his hand on it ~
If McNabb hadn't been hit and Berrian drop the ball I could understand all the fussing ~ Yet the only thing that work on the play was Berrian beating his man and was open for what should have been a TD ~

@By Vikadan11 … stop trying to confuse the issue
Berrian was thrown at 2x …. one was the play you are referring to and the other hit Berrian in the stomach

By Jeffbleedspurple on Sep 12, 2011 | Reply
@Shawn: The focus is on the defense, because other than a few breaks by Peterson and the kick off return by Percy, the defense was the only bright spot in the game, minus the dumb mistakes at the end of the game, just like last year the defense did a fairly good job in keeping the game winnable.
Nothing to say about McNabb and crew, T-joke what?
By Shawn on Sep 12, 2011 | Reply

This is from,
But if a referendum is required for that option as well, there's no point, because it won't pass either.
At that point, I can guarantee one thing: Vikings' owner Zygi Wilf will be either moving his team to Los Angeles and the new stadium being built there, or selling the team to someone who will move it there.
Frankly, if Koch and Zellers deep down believe avoiding tax increases of any kind, anywhere (and their recent track records suggest that they do) is more important than keeping the Vikings, you should just say so, and not hide behind a referendum.

I am starting to think the Vikings are paid by the NFL to be a lower level team, or maybe a training team for all the other teams. Why is it year after year we get the same old thing from this team? Maybe one day they will be great but why is it we say next year? I p-r-a-y this is the year, but it is not looking good at this time, and I do not know if there will be a Minnesota Vikings next year, so I once more p-r-a-y for this to be the year.

The problem with the receivers is that we need a true #1 receiver. Someone who has to always be accounted for. Jenkins could be a solid #2 and Harvin could work the slot. Perhaps they are waiting for Blackmon from Okla St.

This team can win! I saw that potential yesterday, If only they would live up to their talent and give 100% that is my point. My anger is seeing them just taking it easy, not putting out their best because they are pros and get their money win or lose. At least that is how I see it. I hate seeing them that can for whatever reason do not make an effort and get paid all that money. The question is; is the team the results of the players or is it the coaches that make the team what it is, or is it the owners?

I do look for the Vikings to do well at home. We played a great game thru the 1st Half. The crowd will give us the energy to play four quarters.

When rumors started last yr. that McNabb could be a fit for Vikes, I was screaming noooooooooooooooooooooo! To see he only had 39 yds. passing, I'm still screaming noooooooooooooooooo! Who in their right mind thought he would be a good fit. Sooner or later, we're gonna have to bite the bullet and give a younger QB the reins. What,are we just going to keep picking up QBs that other teams discard for the rest of the franchise's history.
Then, I watch the coach give his we just have to execute better speech. Really!!!!!! Does that really have to be said at this level? Execution of blocking,catching the ball, & learning how to tackle. Nothing burns me up more than the player is in position to make the tackle & fails to do so.
How about we get less predictable on offense and open up the playbook, or is McNabb still in a fog? Maybe his 2 previous coaches did know what they were doing when they let him go.
I love my Vikes, but hearing the coach talking about learning to execute is a little disconcerting!

This isn't a division you can win at 10-6 anymore. It will take 13 to 14 wins to win it. Not to mention that it might take 10-6 or 11-5 just to grab a wild card in the NFC. I feel like yesterday's game is a game that we could have won, I feel it was a game we could have made a statement with. It is extremely tough to watch a team that is so talented go through a rebuilding process while guys like Peterson, Greenway, Windfield, Harvin, Berrian, Allen and others are in their prime. We really need to figure out what we're doing here. On offense, if we are playing to player's strengths; than McNabb should be throwing mid to deep routes 10 to 20 times a game. Peterson should be getting 25-30 carries a game. I probably speak for all fans in saying that watching the 3 and outs yesterday gave me flashbacks of last years struggling offense and without a spark on offense this year I think you will see a lot of highlights for opposing teams. I hope we can pull it together for the next 15 and give the fans here in Minnesota something to be excited about. The Wilf's are really doing everything they can for this team. It would be neat to see the players give something back also.

vikefan1969- It is a little too late now to sign a great offensive lineman.
We spent 7 million on McNabb after drafting a QB in the first round. I would have invested that money on a couple mean and nasty run blocking OL guys.
Ponder and Webb both can complete 6 p@sses for 39 yards. C'mon man.

AT former Vikings fans I remind you of the line by the drill seargeant in the movie STRIPES. "Lighten up, Francis!" I don't care if McNabb threw for 666 yards and we lost by 7. Cam Newton threw for 5 miles Sunday, and his team is 0-1. The point is that the only stat is that they lost. I think some are getting too quick to look past the positives of the game. Did anyone notice when Chris Cook didn't bite on the out and up, and prevented Floyd from getting to the ball in the end zone. One of the few times Rivers tried to go deep.
Maybe it's because the Packers, Bears, and Lions, all won their games in week 1. Be realistic. This is the best division in football right now. Our opponent yesterday is always a good team, and they upgraded on defense, and have a top notch quarterback in Rivers. We're a game back with 6 games remaining in the division and 9 other games to make up the difference.

I wasn't sure what to expect from our team in that first game. Have to say, that one hurt. The O-Line isn't any better than last year so far. As for people blaming Adrian for lack of yards, c'mon people, the Chargers any anyone else even watching that game could tell when Adrian was gonna get the ball. How is that his fault? Berrian looks the same as last year. That can't be a surprise to any Vikings fan. I liked what I saw from Toby. He is becoming a good solid back. Lack of O-Line help and play predictability was the only reason for our lack of yards on the ground. As for lack of passing yards, well, that's gonna take an awful lot to overcome and correct anytime soon. I would love to see Joe Webb have a start or two just to see if the problem lies with McNabb or if it is all about the O-Line issues.

Now if the coaches are going to stand by their word and put the best players out there. Then they need to pull BB onto the bench and put in another… I have been arguing for Webb. He needs to be on the field in a way that does not broadcast QB draw. He is a winner. I think he could win a jump ball for a 1st down on a sideline/fade, or drop back take a lateral then have a run/pass option. Or take a quick slant and jump over a would be tackler. Or take or fake a reverse from AP. I realize that he cannot learn another whole position, but without good blocking, just throw out the schemes… Put the best street ball players out there, because the leaking line makes all the schemes wothless and Defenses are going to consume most of the best laid plans.

I know that you were always for improvement in the offensive line as one of our highest priorities.
I have to admit, I may have been too optimistic about our wide receivers. But it is too early to say that because the QB has not had much of a chance to throw!

Couple points – I saw Balt-Pitt game and yes, "Lay-Z-Boy" McKinnie had a great game. He was motivated and lean (relatively speaking)
This, my friends does not mean Frazier was wrong, it means he was RIGHT – McKinnie had as bad a season as a man can have last year. He grew comfortable in his lack of performance, in his slack attitude (remember he got kicked off the Pro-Bowl team for NOT attending practices the year before – you think this malingering goes away? It is what he is about).
However, the man is a competitor enough that he sees the challenge of getting waived for being fat and lazy, and he is inspired now – that is what has happened. Frazier NEEDED to establish a consequence based leadership, UNLIKE Poindexter (childress) had. We would have had Lay-Z-Boy at his horrible worst – comes into camp almost 30 lbs overweight…. you kidding me? He was NOT going to work until he almost worked himself out of pro football.

Thanks to this video shot by our good friend Larry Rodriguez over at Fox4, we have to question not only Tony Romo's play late in the game at Denver - but also his mind-set. You tell me, did Romo think it was third down? Was he telling the refs he had only thrown three incompletions? Is ... More >>

During Game 2 of the World Series, Fox showed The Gambler's hand with and without the mysterious substance that has led many to think the guy's a cheater and a jerk.

He may be the starting AL pitcher tonight, but this is how we'll always remember Kenny Rogers.

Dallas' Only Daily has done it again. No, not break the news. More like ignore the news when it gets beat on a story, then gently, quietly let it slip out months later.
