He is still the thinking woman's sex symbol, and has been for the last 40 years. He is the young wunderkind poet who set Canadian literature aflame. He is the 32-year-old who suddenly decided to become a professional musician. He is the bard addicted to wine, women and song, the eternal searcher who ― after stints in Greece, New York City, Israel, Cuba and his hometown of Montreal ― eventually found solace in a Zen Buddhist retreat atop a California mountain. And he's the only septuagenarian pop star who can pull off a 200-date tour with dignity and grace. One of Cohen's early peers, Montreal poet F.R. Scott, penned a line that Cohen would later set to music: "From bitter searching of the heart, we rise to play a greater part." From his first poetry collection, released 55 years ago, to his long-awaited new album, out now, the man who is older than Elvis Presley is still one of the most vital voices of his ― nay, any ― generation.1934 to 1946Leonard Norman Cohen is born in Montreal on Sept. 21, 1934 to Nat and Masha Cohen. Masha is a melodramatic bohemian who sings Russian and Yiddish folk songs in the house. Nat is a dapper and serious man; he always wears a suit and expects Leonard to wear one to dinner. Cohen's great-uncle Hirsch was the Chief Rabbi of Canada; his great-grandfather ran a dredging company that worked on tributaries of the St. Lawrence. Grandfather Lyon Cohen started the first Jewish newspaper in Canada, The Jewish Times, and started a wholesale clothing manufacturer, specializing in suits, that Cohen's father and uncle ran after Lyon's death. He was prominent in Montreal's Jewish community; Samuel Bronfman was a pallbearer at his funeral. Cohen's maternal grandfather was a rabbinical scholar who would later live with the family for two extended stays during the '50s; young Cohen enjoys reading the Book of Isaiah with him. Biographer Ira Nadel says the work's "combination of poetry and prose, punishment and redemption, remained a lasting influence on Cohen's work… Isaiah also sets out an edict Cohen has followed: dispense with illusions, reject oppression, eliminate deceit." Nat Cohen dies when Leonard is nine.1947 to 1950At Westmount High School, he is president of the student council and involved in athletics, drama, and the student newspaper. In his yearbook, he lists his ambition as: "world-famous orator." He buys a guitar and takes lessons from a Spaniard he meets in his local park; the teacher commits suicide after the third session. The Spanish poet Lorca becomes a transformative influence, inspiring Cohen to write poetry. After a girlfriend's father hypnotizes him, Leonard is fascinated with the practice. He manages to hypnotize the family maid and convinces her to undress; his mother's unexpected arrival home cuts the session short. He gets lucky with a 19-year-old neighbour about to be married; because of him, she breaks off the engagement, though he refuses to commit to her. As a summer camp counsellor, he learns the canon of political folk music from The People's Song Book, a popular anthology of protest music from around the world.1951 to1955Cohen enrols at McGill. He is president of the debating society, but graduates with an average of only 56.4 percent. In his second year he and two friends form the Buckskin Boys, a country trio who play square dances and church basements. In 1954, he is arrested while watching a football riot and charged with resisting arrest and disturbing the peace; he receives a suspended sentence. Cohen takes a poetry course at McGill with Louis Dudek, who encourages him and introduces him to other poets, including Irving Layton, who becomes a great friend despite a 22-year age gap. Cohen is also taken with CanLit legend Hugh MacLennan, who teaches at McGill. Of MacLennan, Cohen later tells Nadel that "the more restrained he was, the more emotional was the atmosphere in the classroom" ― an observation Cohen obviously takes to heart for his own later performances. In 1955, Dudek publishes Cohen's first poetry book, Let Us Compare Mythologies; in 1992, Dudek will present Cohen with an honorary doctorate from McGill. His main ambition, however, was more primal: "Mostly what I was trying to do was get a date," he tells Nadel. "That was the most urgent element in my life." One unnamed female friend tells Nadel, "Leonard really loved women, although 'love' is not the right word. He felt that women had a power and a beauty that most did not even know they possessed. To be with Leonard was to begin to know your own power as a woman." Barbara Amiel will later write that Cohen "will offer [a woman] everything, except of course fidelity… In his own terms, he is not unfaithful to anyone because he cares for them all."Page 2 » GET IT!

Harvey seals first ever British F3 victory
|J. Harvey
|R. Svendsen-Cook
|P. Nunes
3 July 2011 – Jack Harvey stormed to his maiden British Formula 3 victory at the Nürburgring on Saturday morning, taking full advantage of his second place grid slot to jump ahead of Carlin team-mate Rupert Svendsen-Cook at the start of the race. The Briton ultimately crossed the line with a 2.5 second advantage, while Pedro Nunes grabbed the final spot on the podium after a strong drive from 11th on the grid.
"I made a pretty good start and had a good first lap, establishing a bit of a gap between me and Rupert, and then the safety car came out, which made things a bit more interesting," Harvey said at the end of the 20-minute reverse grid race. "After the restart I just got my head down and pushed as hard as I could and strung together some consistent laps."
Just moments after Harvey jumped into the lead, a crash between Fahmi Ilyas and Pietro Fantin brought out the Safety Car. Both men were beached in the gravel, leading to the action being neutralised until their cars were cleared. There was more drama to follow as the race got back underway on Lap 4, with António Félix da Costa and Will Buller making significant contact, forcing the latter to retire.
Nunes inherited third as a result, but the Brazilian spent the rest of the race defending from Felipe Nasr. He successfully held his compatriot at bay when the chequered flag dropped, claiming a visit to the rostrum on his first British F3 weekend. Jazeman Jaafar was next up in fifth place, narrowly beating Saturday winner Kevin Magnussen who had to settle for sixth after starting the reverse grid race from the fourth row.
Félix da Costa went on to salvage seventh after his early incident, leading home Fortec's Harry Tincknell who added to his championship points tally once again. Double R duo Pipo Derani and Scott Pye grabbed ninth and tenth respectively, while Bart Hylkema claimed Rookie Class honours for the second time this weekend.
Race 3 begins at 2pm local time (BST +1)

We also get the best look yet at the upcoming X6 M50d in LCI/facelifted form.
BMW has released its second X6 M50d teaser. The company tries to raise the anticipation with this video dubbed "Step 2″. There's no new information or new details shown, but BMW promises that the X6 M50d will "feel like a race car" and "deserve the M badge". Guess we'll have to wait and see if it actually can live up to these promises.
It's teaser time again! Hot off the press here's part 1 of "a new chapter: powered by BMW M".
When you listen to the engine carefully you can hear it's a diesel engine. At this point we can only speculate what this is about exactly, but if we were forced to do so we'd say it's a promotion for the long-rumored M Performance Diesel models called X6 M50d ( and M550d for the F10) powered by a 3.0l inline 6 Diesel engine with no less than 3 … CONTINUED

Hong Kong's Cosco Pacific, operator of the biggest container terminal in the Port of Piraeus, Greece, is considering further investments in the country as the cash-strapped Athens government prepares to sell ports as part of a radical privatization program.
The port operating arm of China Ocean Shipping is conducting an in-depth feasibility study of the planned $62 billion privatization program, said Fu Chengqiu, managing director of the Piraeus container terminal.
"We are waiting for the formation of a new government to make further decisions," Chengqiu told the China Daily newspaper.
Cosco Pacific, which operates Piraeus's Pier 2 container terminal, is weighing an investment in the Piraeus Port Authority that would give it a stake in the Pier 1 container terminal as well as handling cruise lines, ship maintenance and coastal real estate.
The Greek government is planning to privatize the port authorities of Piraeus and Thessaloniki, but progress is slow.
Cosco Pacific may also invest in a $350 million logistics center approximately 20 miles from Piraeus.
Cosco Pacific has made contingency plans for a possible Greek exit from the eurozone, Chengqiu said. "We have completed several packages of solutions which are prepared for the worst situation."
Cosco faced a backlash from Greek dockworkers against its 35-year concession to operate the Piraeus container terminal, which it took over in June 2010 after signing a $4.3 billion contract.
"We have not only survived but have also broken historic records in handling containers," Chengqiu told the China Daily.
Cosco Pacific, which pays $125 million a year to operate the Pier 2 terminal, handled 870,000 20-foot equivalent units in the first five months of 2012. It handled 1.18 million TEUs in 2011, more than double the 500,000 TEUs at Pier 1, which is controlled by the Piraeus Port Authority.
The company expects total traffic in Piraeus to hit 2.1 million TEUs in 2012. "Though the (eurozone) crisis and uncertainties are still unfolding, we think this is a realistic target for us," Chengqiu said.
Cosco Pacific plans to boost Piraeus's capacity to 3.7 million TEUs a year and transform it into a leading Mediterranean hub for Chinese exports to Europe.
The company is currently upgrading the Pier 3 terminal into a deep-sea facility able to handle the largest container ships of up to 18,000 TEUs.

Heartless Thieves Steal Wheelchair Belonging to 9-Year-Old Boy With Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis [VIDEO]

Atherton, California, which has fewer than 10,000 residents, doesn't worry a lot about crime. From 2002-2003, there were fewer than 50 reports of vandalism--the highest category of crime in the city. Although the crime rate is low by most standards, police officers in Atherton face many of the same logistical challenges that confront departments twice their size. Securing the evidence room is one such challenge.
The department realized earlier this year that it needed to do more to meet that challenge. If, as the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding, they had to make sure no one made off with the bowl.
At the time, the procedures were such that two officers were authorized to enter the evidence room, and they were required to sign in each time they accessed the secured area. The door to the room was protected by a lock and key, but no one monitored the room to ensure that the two authorized personnel were the only people going in and out. If an officer forgot to sign in, there was no way to know when the room had been breached.
Without a method for ensuring that the room was properly secured, the department was fearful that it would be vulnerable to chain-of-custody disputes, which could either damage or nullify evidence gathered in an investigation. The department decided to move the evidence room into a new building "to clean it up and manage it better," police officer Sherman Hall says.
In anticipation of the move, the department began evaluating a biometric solution, which would solve the logging and access problem. Several products were evaluated, but many were cost prohibitive. Eventually, Hall says they decided to implement a thumbprint reader by Count Me In of Mount Prospect, Illinois.
According to Hall, the reader had a low price and the department was excited at the prospect of including a high-technology solution. Another advantage was that the reader automatically logged the date and time the user entered the room, eliminating the chain-of-custody problem.
"With this, there's no way of getting in without putting your thumb on the reader," Hall says.
To access the area, the user places his or her thumb on the reader, which then compares the print to its database. If an unauthorized person attempts to use the reader, it will respond by asking that person to place a thumb on the reader again; if a match of the print is not found in the database, the person is not given access.
The system was originally developed for use in the childcare business after the company's founder, a programmer turned day-care provider, was alarmed by the danger posed by unauthorized visitors. He decided to develop a tool that would allow parents access to pick up their children, while keeping the center secure.
Today the company's bread and butter are small and medium-size businesses, childcare centers, and police departments. The company has made a conscious effort to price the product so that small and midsized businesses can afford it, says Katz. The entire system runs approximately $810. The system uses two independent fingerprint recognition engines--licensed for use by Count Me In--to scrutinize the templates, which are then statistically analyzed using a proprietary algorithm developed by Katz's father. The system includes a 30-day, money-back guarantee, 90-day phone support, free logging software, and upgrades.
Hall was in charge of installing the system in Atherton, and he says the process was simple. Using a standard Windows-based application, Hall installed the Count Me In software on an older computer that ran Windows 98 and had a USB port. The officer then used the software to create the thumb templates by placing the authorized person's thumb on the reader six times to ensure precise recording.
Hall says he could have chosen to use a finger or multiple fingers instead of the thumb. He says he chose the thumb for no particular reason, but jokes that he probably chose it subconsciously because police officers are good at taking thumbprints.
Because Hall did the software installation and a public works crew performed the physical installation, the cost to the department was negligible. The only charge was the reader.
The department has been using the reader for more than six months, and Hall says that when the system was first installed several unauthorized officers placed their thumbs on the reader out of curiosity and were denied access to the restricted area. Before implementing the system, Hall tested it by registering his thumb with the system. Once he was assured that the system worked, he removed his template and he is now unable to enter the restricted area.
Because only two officers use the reader, traffic has not been a problem for the police department. But Hall notes that because the reader takes a few seconds to process the print, it probably would not be a good choice for high-traffic areas where congestion could be a problem.
The solution has been perfect for the department, however. "It gave us what we needed," Hall says, "security, a log of who came in and out, and demonstrated, proven controlled access to this sensitive area."

This Cowboy fan Never Takes A Day Off
OK, so it's Baseball's Opening Day and I bet you all think that I let my Cowboys focus rest for just this one day. WRONG, think again! Sure, I'm a big baseball fan too, but don't think the Cowboys are ever out of sight, out of mind.
You know football fans enjoys hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks, just as much as baseball fans do! And yes, I am fixin' to have some hot dogs tonight when I watch the Cards vs. Mets on ESPN tonight.
I must say that I am a big fan of the offseason moves that the Cowboys have made so far. Our Cowboys have been the most active team this off-season, and our owner, Jerry Jones has forked over some pretty big bucks, but if that's what it takes to improve the team, then bring it on! (sorry to use such a corny line from a ridiculous football movie) There's no mistaking that Leonard Davis and Ken Hamlin were huge additions to the team.
As far as the whole new coaching staff goes, well what's not to like? We have a great coach with NFL experience in Wade Phillips. But we also injected the staff with some young up and comers who are considered some of the most promising future coaches in the game! I'm talking about guys like Jason Garrett, Ray Sherman, Brian Stewart and one of my favorite Cowboys, Dat Nguyen!
We also have some second and third year players that are on the verge of becoming huge stars in the NFL, like Marion Barber, DeMarcus Ware and my sleeper pick for 2007, Bobby Carpenter!
You want some more good news? We are looking great for the NFL Draft! No only do we have all our picks, but because our shortcomings have been solved through free agency, we will be in the position to draft the best athletes available rather than drafting to fill a need. Teams that show up on Draft Day with that philosophy most often end up with the best drafts. We are in a great position to trade up and steal the best player in the draft!
So where am I going with all this Cowboys enthusiasm on baseball's Opening Day? Absolutely nowhere! I just wanted you all to know that I might be wearing a Mets cap tonight, but make no mistake about it people, I'm a Cowboys fan 24/7!
Now, did somebody say something about hot dogs…
You are the greatest fan ever! Thanks for writing this. You made my Sunday. Love you and your man!
You are the greatest fan ever! Thanks for writing this. You made my Sunday. Love you and your man!
Mets hat for a Cardinals one and I am down! Nguyen is a great addition. Hell of a player he was! I do miss Bill but am optimistic about next season.
Wow! A Cowboys fan AND A METS FAN??? YOU ARE THE MAN! METS R GOING ALL THE WAY! Hopefully, these awesome additions of Hamlin and Davis will bring us something that hasn't happened since '98. The NFC East title.
Love all your postings!

Quote of the Day
"I was born in 1928. Same year as Mickey Mouse, but he made out better—straight to Hollywood, straight to the cosmetic department. I did not approve of his buying into all that crap and letting his soul get despoiled. I remained poor and depressed, as a Brooklyn child should. Mickey wasn't depressed but anyone who looked like him should have been. He became a schmuck, a very famous schmuck. And God knows I adored him, but I was a schmuck, too. I lived in Brooklyn."
--Maurice Sendak (1928-2012), author of "Where the Wild Things Are," to Marianna Cook, in a New Yorker Postcript, "Wild Things," May 21, 2012. It's unfortunately an abstract of the article, not the whole thing. Fortunately, you can subscribe to The New Yorker, and should. And if you haven't seen Sendak in his two-part interview with Stephen Colbert, you should check that out, too. Sendak may be the best partner Colbert's ever had.

ICSTIS rebrand scorned by premium rate industry
A row is brewing in the premium rate industry over the rebrand of its regulator ICSTIS as PhonePayPlus. Premium rate trade association the Network for Online Commerce (NOC) is touting a poll that suggests the new name should be scrapped on grounds that it's rubbish. Top brass at ICSTIS felt the slew of TV phone-in scandals had …
An ineffective name for an ineffective regulator....
...seems very appropriate. From what i've read about ICTIS they seem toothless and slow to do anything about offenders. The whole 'premium rate' phone industry in this country is anti-consumer and overly confusing.
Mobile phone networks now routinely charge for '0800' "freephone" numbers. Numerous companies are allowed to use premium, revenue generating, numbers for customer contact including, amazingly, ITV for all of its employees as far as i can work out and to brand them as "local rate" or "national rate" when such terms are no longer used by either the fixed line or mobile operators.
Even "07" numbers which used to be exclusively for mobiles are now used for services charged at up to 50p per minute by mobile operators.
More Marketing Madness
Anyone remember Consignia?
What part of this poll does ICTSIS not understand?
>A telecoms consumer protection agency - one per cent
>A new way to pay for things using a telephone account - 26 per cent
>A new form of prepay phone account - 23 per cent
>None of these - four per cent
>Don't know - 46 per cent
Seems pretty damn clear to me..
>On Tuesday, ICTSIS spokesman Rob Dwight said: "The name change is >going ahead in October. The NOC know that.
>"No disrespect to YouGov, but with these polls you get the answer to the >carefully worded question you're looking for." He added that the >PhonePayPlus monicker will not stand alone, but be backed with a tagline >something like "the regulator for the premium rate industry".
Getting the answer to a 'carefully worded question' seems like that's what's supposed to happen isn't it? Otherwise you could just make up any old shit and say it fits with your perspective. Oh wait. That's called marketing, isn't it?
Ah, hang on. It's going to be backed with that memorable tagline. So that's alright then.
Rushing ahead regardless
""The name change is going ahead in October."
Typical response from an organisation that KNOWS its doing something stupid and feels it needs to get it over and done with before too many people can say how stupid it is.
Agreed, ICSTIS isn't a very consumer-friendly name (nobody not in the know would have a clue what it did). But replacing it with another name that still doesn't convey anything useful is even less sensible.
October is still more than a month away. Why not do the sensible thing, call it off for the present, have a month or two to invite other more sensible suggestions and then go with one of them that has both meaning and public support.
ps ...
I wonder, did this name come from the same twit that came up with the Olympic logo? Another case of rushing into something unpopular (and more than grossly over-expensive) to try to get something rushed through instead of rolling a few heads for gross abuse of public money as definitely should have happened.
A Meeting of Minds
"We also foresee a potential clash with Payforit and Paypal."
That would be an interesting marriage, Payforit Paypal. Very Circular.
One of the things which ICSTIS has been striving to do over the last few years is "increase stakeholder engagement", which you do by talking to the people that you deal with and, if you're going to do something major which might affect them, asking them first. That's called consultation. By their own admission, the ICSTIS rebrand is a major undertaking; yet there was no consultation with the industry.
ICSTIS are funded by the premium rate industry, who're in the position of seeing what's effectively their money spent on a rebrand dreamed up by a PR agency without their input. And it wouldn't really matter if it was universally accepted; that, though (to put it politely) hasn't been the case.
I would have thought it would suit the premium rate operators to have a "regulator" that the public do not recognise so less likely to call.
I always dislike calling ICSTIS a "regulator" as they seem to be a protectionist organisation run by the industry and very ineffective.
To the first commenter...
"Even "07" numbers which used to be exclusively for mobiles are now used for services charged at up to 50p per minute by mobile operators"
Not so... 07 numbers have never been exclusively for mobiles - they were brought in as 'personal numbers' or 'reach me anywhere numbers' and include things like pagers, redirected numbers and personalised numbers (ie 07000MyNameHere). The most common non-mobile service is provided by yac.com - they assign you a number which you can direct anywhere you want; service costs nothing but people calling you pay a premium to do so. I use it for all my online purchases because they have an anonymous filter option so that calls with no number go straight to voicemail, which comes to me as an email.
And no, I don't work for them.
PhonePayPlus indeed "feels like" a payment service of some kind...
You expect goverment agencies to be known by immemorable initials. Having had ICSTIS for a few years it's just beginning to sink in to the public physche. Don't change it now!
Their problem is not the name, but that they're toothless. Since privatistation of the telecoms and other industries the Government emphasis seems to be far more on deregulation (mustn't do anything to get in the way of free-trade, including enterprising scammers) than on consumer-protection.
In practice these days you're far more likely to stumble across 070 "personal" numbers in the context of a scam (e.g. missed-call spam) than any decent use.
Witness ICSTIS' recent consultation on the possibility of allowing spoofing of the sender of text messages, "for joke-services". It's obvious this opens up a whole range of scams and malicious applications and will cause far more tears than laughs. It should never have left the drawing-board.
Just can it ...
"ICSTIS are funded by the premium rate industry"
Interesting thought ... the premium rate industry could presumably make this "problem" go away by setting up a different organisation with a more sensible name, and funding that instead.
I very strongly suggest they do just that, if ICSTIS doesn't back down and come up with a more sensible name.
Icstis the Great Consumer Con
Icstis have spent years masquerading as a regulator for consumer protection when they clearly were not.
The same premium rate companies they were "fining" and "severely reprimanding" in 2004 are still being fined and severely reprimanded today for committing the same offenses. When is the DTI (or somebody) going to tell Icstis that billing for unsolicited reverse billed text messages is criminal theft and should be reported to the police?
There are a lot of names the thousands of victims of this premium rate industry call Icstis and PhonePayPlus is not one.
What about Ofcom?
Covering various bits of telecoms regulation are the ridiculously named PhonePayPlus, the Telephone Preference Service, the information commissioner, the office of the telecoms adjudicator, the office of the telecoms ombudsman and CISAS, not to mention more generic regulators such as the competition commission, trading standards departments and the office of fair trading. Shouldn't Ofcom be doing all this rather than delegating things left, right and centre?
Yes, what about OFCOM?
OFCOM claims that some EU thingy means that it can't take ICSTIS's role. So, unlike with most EU restrictions, this one means that the customers get shafted. Not that that matters because you'd have to be an idiot to dial a premium-rate number.
Nothing to do with me Guv
Clearly they've been fielding too many consumer complaints and have worked out the perfect way to reduce the number of punters savvy to what they actually do. Hitting those ever popular KPIs should be a cinch after this.
Government stupidity clearly knows no bounds. Whats next, Ofcom to change their name to "Comms 'R' Us"?

I was in a pickle then. Like I am on most days.
I don't know if I am like most housewives. I am often in a frenzy of things: cooking, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, folding clothes and more cleaning, but there are days that I just slouch on the couch and stare into space. Oh lovely space across our apartment.
I stare into space on days when I am exhausted, on days when I just have run out of things to do, on days when I just want to be.
On those seemingly empty, meaningless times, I somehow manage come up with the most brilliant small projects one at home could tackle. Like making more homemade stuff as if The Husband and I were not up to our ears with homemade goodness.
So I learned how to make sauerkraut.

Peterson Has High Ankle Sprain; Status For Sunday UnknownPosted by on November 21, 2011 – 12:57 pm
Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier met with reporters on Monday and he provided an update on RB Adrian Peterson, who was forced out of Sunday's game in the 2nd quarter after injuring his ankle. Frazier says Peterson suffered a high ankle sprain and will be in a walking boot for the next couple of days.
Frazier added that there is some ligament damage, that the ankle sprain is a Grade 1 sprain, and that Peterson will try and practice on Friday to see if he'll be able to play on Sunday.
"The good news is it's nothing more serious than that, the fact that it is an ankle sprain and he'll recover from it," Frazier said. "It's just the matter of the amount of time he'll miss. We'll have a better indication toward the end of the week."
On other injury news, Frazier said that TE Kyle Rudolph has a quad contusion and will be day-to-day. Fellow TE Visanthe Shiancoe suffered a mild strain to his hamstring. Finally, Frazier had good news on the Erin Henderson front, saying the starting LB should be available for this Sunday's game in Atlanta.

I am glad that it is not serious!!!! Though I am beginning to think that the Vikings should use him & Harvin in limited ways so they are not seriously injured this season. Time for the Vikings to see who can do what (though us fans can already see – weird how the coaches miss it all but hey) & start getting ready to boot players who do not earn their pay cheques!!!!

Well, it finally happened. Adrian gets hurt. It is hard to watch the Vikings games and see how their play calling is so predictable. Up the middle, up the middle, up the middle. No running back could take the pounding Adrian has this season. Isn't it time to evaluate the terrible job the offensive line is doing? Arn't they supposed to "open holes" for their running backs? All of the blame for the past few years have been blamed on the quarterbacks. Farve, Jackson, McNabb, etc. When is the last time you have seen one of the Vikings quarterbacks have enough time to set and look for a receiver? Seems like every pass has to be a "hail mary" type. Throw it and hope somebody catches it.

Yea keep em out he don't need to prove anything to us

I agree, keep AP out and replace all the positions with 2nd string with the exception of Jared because he is chasing the sack record and CP needs the experience There is no need to try to get a win when they know they do not have a winning product on the field only few good parts still performing but not enough to compensate for all the deficencies.

Frazier, since you are not going to use Joe Webb, why not trade him to the Chicago Bears for a couple of first round picks? Now that Cutler is out with a bad thumb. The Bears know how to use a good QB like Webb..The Vikings could then use those first round picks to build an Offensive line to replace that Swiss Cheeze thing we have in place now…

one why would the bears want joe webb and we use him for and option kinda of game plan, what i say we do i put him in as a reciever to get the defense mixed up and maybe once or twice a game run a tricky play and fool them but all the bad things that happen out of us being terrible this year is that we get good picks and thats ok we are rebuilding our franchise, we need recievers, sure percy, michael jenkins, greg carmarillo, and devin aromashadu are nice but we need a primary guy who we can go to in the redzone and get those yards that are needed. We also need DB's. We wouldnt be so bad if chris cook hadnt beat his girlfriend but he did and he was our best pass defense corner, asher allen isnt good, cedric never was and antoine is getting old so what do we have. benny sapp who i am happy we got back hes an ok player and brandon burton who never gets playing time and marcus sherels we NEED DB'S TERRIBLY. it would help to if we had a nice o line too help CP

It is obvious what Frazier thinks of Webb…Frazier has Webb in the number THREE spot on the roster..If Ponder gets hurt (which he most likely will, what with the non-Oline the vikings have), that means McNumbNuts comes back onto the field to dust off the feet of the recievers…

We just need to build an O-line, and a secondary, and we can be a good team. i believe we have found our Qb for the next 10 years, its just a matter of if the O-line can protect him enough so he doesn't get hurt.

This last presser sounded exactly like the first one of the year- 'we've got to find a way to get better' and 'we battled but had costly penalties'. There is no stucture to this team going forward- it seems like a mish-mash of play calling and hoping for a positive result.

Sit AP for a week!! Let's see what Toby Gerhart can do playing a whole game!! This guy was a stud in college and an every down back!! It's time to empty the bench and see what you have with some of these guys!! Webb at wideout, Percy returning every kick, this guy is so dangerous returning kicks!! He could be another Devin Hester if we let him return every kick!! Open it up and let it all hang out!! What do you have to lose, you already have lost 8 games and counting!!

Im not a fan of drafting a reciever in the top 10 in the 1st round.There have been so many recievers taken in the first round who are complete bust ala B. Berrian.I dont follow college football very much so can someone tell me who is the top rated Left tackle is .Also i see the name Blackmon mentioned a lot on this site what position does he play?

The Vikes can Draft ,trade etc. but the players still have to learn the playbook on offense and defense. Quite frankly I think the playbook and the individual attitudes of some(Not All) players is simply not where it needs to be in order for this team to be good. the fact is many of the problem positions may take multiple yrs. of 1st round picks to fix.
By CaL on Nov 21, 2011 | Reply
As much as it hurts to say this, I truly think It would be wiser for Minnesota to draft the best CB or safety available instead of a WR in the 1st round. Now is the perfect time to get a up and coming CB or Safety to replace Griffen.
By CaL on Nov 21, 2011 | Reply
But I know they want to give Ponder a Receiver to throw to so I would choose Alshon Jeffrey S. Carolina Junior 6'4″ 229lbs. reminds me of Calvin Johnson!! the more I watch this kid the more I like him.
By Maryland Boy Troy on Nov 21, 2011 | Reply
I hope the vikings draft the best offensive tackle with their first pick if their is an OT that warrants being picked in the top 5 of round 1.Preferbly a left tackle to protect Ponders blind side for the next 10 or 12 years.

keep AP out…he has more than done his share…this season is toast…give all the young guys an opportunity (except JA as one poster noted)…see what we have that is worth keeping (if anything). one other thing…rotate CP and Webb at QB…give them both some reps..CP gets experience and we get to see if Webb has anything in the QB department…oh and sit Spielman too…check that he's firmly attached to the chair as it is…kick him to the curb…GO VIKES!!!

Drafting isn't just about picking your most needed position, you have to look at the players available and get the most out of your picks. A common mistake fans make is assume you have to draft based solely on needs but that leads to reaching for players.
this is a strong cb draft so we can get a quality cb in the second round, and there are no good safeties to take in the first round. OT would be great but there are only two worth taking with a top ten pick, if both are off the board and if blackmon is available it would be more prudent to pick him up instead of reaching for the third best OT with a top ten pick

I think Peterson will play on Sunday, because he is not a wuss. He is the most prolific player in the NFL and well to be honest we cant afford to lose him. We play the Falcons on Sunday and they are looking good except for the run d.They still have some holes to fill and if we have Peterson in on Sunday we will do fine. I think the way that Ponder played we should have pulled him and played McNabb he at least he makes a bad situation and turns it into something descent. Why do we have Gerhart as are back up running back we need to play him as a fullback he is a big guy and would be a great blocker for Peterson and Ponder. I like the speed of Booker so i think he should get the back up position and not Gerhart. I thought Ben Sapp played well for his first game back in the Purple and Gold uniform. We need to hurry up and gt Cook back i know Winfield is lost for the season so we need our other top CB in the game. So when it is time to draft a player we need to focus o CB's and OT's this year we will keep McNabb unless we can some how get Manning from the Colts because they are getting Andrew Luck with the first pick this year. If that is the case we will start Manning and keep Ponder as a back up to Manning. So lets get Asante Samuels from the Eagles because it is clear that he doesn't want to be there anymore and lets make next season a Superbowl year. I also think that we need a new WR this up coming year. I think Aromashado is sold once he gets to know the playbook better. Lets keep Harvin in the slot because thats were he is the best at. He is like Wes Welker he is a slot guy. As for safety ther might be at least 1 safety that is unhappy with his contract and lets sign him to some money. I think the Desan Jackson wont be an Eagle this up coming year lets pursue him this year as well. If we do these things we will have a shot next year.
PS i haven't given up on the Vikings i know the season is lost but lets win the rest of the season to show people that we mean business. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VIKINGS.

DRS mentioned that the bright side of this mess this year would or will be an easier schedule……………………REALLY?! I can bet you one thing…………they will be playing 6 games in the NFC North Division against 3 teams that can't beat right off the bat! They had a sud 500 record last year that placed them with a not so rough schedule brother!
Like I have said, this team is soooo far behind the 8-ball even in their own division, that for them to even think about crawling out of this hole that they are in they will need to do some crazy and needed evils to do this and the first two are to trade A.P. for draft picks and then fire the whole coaching staff and bring in somebody witha attitude and give this team an identity!

Old School that may be, you can look at it this way, The Vikings cannot do much worse than this year, of course they could go 0-16, that is true to, we can hope they can see the light and do something to fix the holes they have.
We can as well hope they stay in Minnesota despite the people of Minnesota.
We can hope and try to look to the sunnier side of life and hope someday the Viking can finish a year with a SB win.
We can hope.

I am of the opinion that a WELL-COACHED team can win this weekend.
The use of Gerhard and Harvin (who I personally think is already being overused), should be enough to sustain a running game that can then sustain the passing game that should sustain several drives, at least until Ponder can see the HUGE target in the middle of the stands that says-and I don't quote:

President Pranab Mukherjee inaugurated the second South East Asia Implant Conference - 'Implant Esthetics, 2013' organised by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists here on Saturday.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said that it is a good development that oral health care, as a science, has grown in popularity and there is, today, a greater awareness of dentistry as a profession in our country. He said he was particularly pleased at the awareness that the conference would generate - at a time when there is still a deficiency of oral health care facilities in many cities and towns of India.
The President said although oral health should always be an inseparable companion of general health care, modern dentistry has evolved slowly in India. It would therefore be an invaluable service if the medical and dental community were to organise community health programmes based on their evaluation of the changing priorities of the community and taking into account the technology and solutions available.

You would probably want to post it on the UI forum.
IMO, scrolling combat text it just way more information than you need. An addon like IceHUD will put your health bars right in the middle of your screen (thats what our MT uses) and if your health bar dips and isn't going back up, pop a cooldown. Personally, I don't see the point of having ridiculous amounts of text scrolling past, but I'm a healer so I'm usually busy staring at health bars and keeping track of every debuff and stupid mechanic.

CPS CEO: 'Time to turn the page,' move on
BY LAUREN FITZPATRICK Education Reporter email@example.com May 28, 2013 8:40AM
Barbara Byrd-Bennett addresses the media following her speech at the City Club of Chicago May 28, 2013. | Jessica Koscielniak ~ Sun-Times
Updated: June 30, 2013 6:17AM
Less than a week after her massive school-closing recommendations were finalized, the Chicago Public Schools chief urged the city to leave the past tumultuous year behind and to move forward, announcing a five-year plan called "Next Generation Chicago's Children."
But Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett released few specifics about the plan.
"This is not just about children in schools; this work is really about the future of our city," Byrd-Bennett told the roomful of politicians and business leaders at the City Club of Chicago. "Our vision is that every student in every neighborhood will be engaged in a rigorous, well rounded instructional program and will graduate prepared for college, for their career, and for life."
CPS declined to reveal details of the plan, saying they'll be released in coming weeks.
"Whatever has happened this past year is done," Byrd-Bennett said, alluding to September's teachers strike, the first in 25 years. "The collective bargaining agreements are settled. There's a moratorium on school closures for the next five years, and it's the beginning of a new school year in a few short months.
"It is a new beginning. We are putting the past behind us, it is time to turn the page."
Byrd-Bennett and the mayor who hired her also announced Tuesday that high school seniors could set the highest rate for Chicago Public Schools students to graduate within five years — on track to be 63 percent this year. A decade ago, the same graduation rate was 44 percent, rising to 58 percent during the 2010-2011 school year and 61 percent last year. Statewide, the five-year graduation rate was 84 percent in 2011-2012.
"No one can look at our schools today and say they're good enough," Byrd-Bennett said. "No one can look at the graduation rate and be satisfied. No one can look at our ACT scores and believe our work has been completed. We cannot say that this work is finished until each child in Chicago is successful."
The Chicago Teachers Union also is "happy to see increased graduation rates for CPS," CTU spokeswoman Stephanie Gadlin said. "It proves that diatribes against teachers and the labeling of our public schools as failing is not only mean-spirited but inaccurate."
One week ago on May 22, the Board of Education approved Byrd-Bennett's recommendations to shutter 50 schools, 48 of them in June. CPS' safety plans are under way but hardly finalized; safe passage plans for most schools taking in kids from closing schools are still being presented to parents. Civil-rights lawsuits to delay the closings for at least a year won't be heard until July.
Gadlin said in an email that the CTU certainly is willing to move forward, "but we are concerned that she could be a party to such a large destruction of school communities — which is actually moving us backward — and expect people to simply get over it."
" What we've learned is that people who come into Chicago saying they are making changes that are in the best interests of our students often don't. Ms. Byrd-Bennett has championed policies that harm our students and has led to the largest destruction of public schools in U.S. history," Gadlin said. "She may want to put this page in history behind her but the rest of us will never forget."
Many parents of the 12,000 being displaced from closing schools in June still are "reeling" from the Board's historic vote to close so many schools at once, said Wendy Katten of the parent group Raise Your Hand.
"While Barbara Byrd-Bennett is ready to move on and put the past behind her, thousands of parents are scrambling to figure out the enrollment process after being given four days to enroll in a new school. Many parents were handed a packet of info, with no dialogue — in typical CPS fashion — and have many unanswered questions about the enrollment process," she said. "This process was an utter failure and CEO Byrd-Bennett seems completely disconnected with how her policies play out on the ground where children, parents and communities are actually impacted."

Perfect fix for the problem
Peggy the Reluctant Plumber from Columbia, SC
After flushing, our toilets would keep running. Oftentimes we'd have to go back into the bathroom to jiggle the handle. After installing the new toilet levers, our problem was solved. I wish somebody in the plumbing stores had suggested this earlier as we had tried other fixes.

Only units listed in the above serial number range were manufactured during the time the defective component was available.
Problem Symptoms
When the 1000Base-SX interface on the WS-C2950SX-24 or WS-C2950-48-SI is in shutdown state, the directly connected interface on the neighbor device does not recognize it and the line protocol stays up. With UDLD enabled on both ports, the other side changes to error-disabled.
There is no workaround for this problem.
Replacements will be supported via the standard RMA process going forward.
How To Identify Hardware Levels
Switches with the potential to have the affected transceivers or optical module were manufactured with specific system serial numbers. The Switch's System Serial Numbers can be found on:
