text: World View–JFK: We Shall Pay Any Price, Bear Any Burden for the Success of Liberty Print article Send a Tip by John J. Xenakis 22 Nov 2013 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com: Afghanistan security agreement may be close to collapse JFK: We shall pay any price, bear any burden for the success of liberty Afghanistan security agreement may be close to collapse Afghanistan's president Hamid Karzai has apparently torpedoed the security agreement with the U.S. that Secretary of State John Kerry had been negotiating. This is the agreement that authorizes American soldiers to remain in Afghanistan past the official 2014 withdrawal. It was thought that once Afghanistan's grand assembly, the "Loya Jirga," approved the security agreement, then Karzai would sign it, and the deal would be complete. But everyone was shocked when Karzai said that even after the Loya Jirga approval, the agreement would not be signed until after the elections of April 5, 2014. Kerry's spokesman Jen Psaki said: "Failure to conclude [the deal] ... would be seen as a signal to the world that Afghanistan is not committed to a partnership with its supporters and that it is willing to jeopardize all of the financial and practical help that has been offered." The entire Mideast is littered with failed peace deals and betrayed promises from Kerry and the Barack Obama administration, so unless Kerry can convince Karzai to change his mind, this will be just one more. AP and Reuters JFK: We shall pay any price, bear any burden for the success of liberty On the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a lot of people who evidently don't have the vaguest clue what his principles were are lauding him for their own purposes. Here are a few paragraphs from his 1961 inaugural address: We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. ... In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. People on tv keep asking about JFK's ideology. Politicians today can't even imagine taking a stand on principle. There's nothing but ideology. Kennedy's address had nothing to do with ideology. It was based on his life experience. He was in the generations that had seen massive famine and genocide. He had seen American soldiers tortured, mutilated and killed on the Bataan death march, or shot down like fish in a barrel on the beaches of Normandy. He had seen America and its allies kill millions of civilians, women and children, with huge firebombs and nuclear weapons. He had seen human beings at their worst, worse than the most vicious animals. And he was saying that America must pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship to keep it from happening again, because he knew that paying that price was a tiny fraction of the cost of not paying it. Can you imagine any politician, particularly any Democrat, saying anything like that today? Politicians were different in 1961 because they had survived the worst war in world history. Today's politicians think that the generations that survived that war are simply full of crap. Today, under the leadership of President Barack Obama, Washington has turned into a cesspool. Any lie is OK, any law is meaningless, because the Administration is lawless. Financiers who had defrauded millions of Americans with fraudulent subprime mortgage backed synthetic securities still appear on CNBC and lie about stock valuations (price/earnings ratios). By the way, according to Friday's Wall Street Journal, the S&P 500 Price/Earnings index (stock valuations) on Friday (November 22) morning was 18.85, which is a new recent high, and astronomical by historic standards, indicating that stocks are far overpriced, and the stock market bubble is worse than ever. The Russians and Iranians are providing massive weapons and military support to one of the worst genocidal monsters since World War II, Syria's Bashar al-Assad. Europe is seeing the rise of Nazi groups that dominated World War II. And China is massively preparing for preemptive thermonuclear war with the United States, while America's armed forces are cutting back. We could use a little of JFK's attitude about now.

2 audio outputs? Help with sound card
Hey, I know this is a topic that must have came up so many times, but after trying several methods on Google, I've had no luck.
So yeh, I'm wanting to have 2 separate audio outputs. So I first had an output coming from the motherboard. I then added a sound card as I beleived this would allow me a second audio output. Now however, I can only get sound from the sound card. To test I have speakers plugged into the sound card & headphones into the motherboard.
Some (possibly) useful system info:
Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
ASRock 880G Extreme3 (Socket AM3) DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Xtreme Gamer Sound Card
Please tell me if any more info is required, thanks!

As far as I know windows can only use one device at a time so the only thing that you can do would be to change the default device when you want to switch.
|My System Specs
|11 Jun 2012

townsbg is correct. You can only have one default audio playback device. e.g. either the added sound card or the Integrated audio.

I'm having the same problem atm, all the 'solutions' I've tried have been in vain ._.
I'm starting to hate windows 7 for this really, this is so stupid that they don't have something like this, and it's even hard to set it up.
L.E: Follow this, it's just great http://theitbros.com/hotkey-to-switch-audio-devices though you won't be able to listen to both simultaneously, it's still better than doing 5 clicks every time you want to switch.

I have been using two cards for quite a long time and had no problems - just the hassle of choosing the sound output device for some apps. The main card was an Audigy and the secondary was an onboard (quite good).

Joe Giudice: Cheating on Teresa with Random Woman at Friday's?by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
TGIF? Not for Teresa Giudice.
A witness tells Radar Online that this Real Housewife's husband may be cheating on her because he had an allegedly cozy meal with another woman at a T.G.I. Friday's on Tuesday night in Clifton, New Jersey.
Joe and this rumored mistress were "in a booth," the onlooker claims and "were drinking martinis and when the woman finished hers she took a sip out of Joe's glass, too. They looked like they were having a good time together and laughing with each other."
This isn't the first time Joe has been accused of possessing a wandering eye and/or other body parts. A report last year said the guy likes strippers.
The other woman appeared to be in her late 20s or early 30s, the witness says, adding that things got REALLY steamy later in the night:
After a waiter brought the pair wet naps, the lady opened hers and "wiped Joe's hands off with hers. It was really intimate to see her touching his hands like that."
We can imagine! It's getting hot in here just thinking about this. Sorry, Teresa, but it's time to hire a divorce lawyer.
[Photo: Johnny Louis/WENN.com]
Joe is an asshole. This is why Teresa is so sensitive when it comes to her girlfriends. I think Jacqueline is a basket case, and cries for no reason. I think Teresa, who is slowly re-inventing the English language, last night there was a new word, "ingrediences." Anyway, this is why Teresa, who is a bright and attractive woman, is jealous of her sister-in-law who has a wonderful marriage, and of Caroline and Kathy. She should divorce that loser and move on. She has much to offer and makes her own $$!!!!
She can't even speak the english language, not real bright. Only has what she has because of her husband and he's a low life I have to believe he swindles everyone he comes in contact with I know the type. She's really obnoxious and so is he. The kids are nothing but spoiled brats, tantrum throwing little brats. Nothing more than trailer trash in a big house they don't own and probably don't pay for.
I think Teresa is just trying to keep it all together, but it's more and more apparent that there are major problems in her life and in her marriage. I don't know if Joe is cheating on her or not, but it's VERY apparent that he is unhappy. He looks beaten down and depressed. I can only imagine how he must feel, having been the sole bread winner and now his wife has to make ends meet. He can't even drive!!! He must feel like such a loser. I commend Teresa for sticking it out and trying to make it work. I'm not on her side or anything, I know she has made major mistakes with the other girls and could change many of her attitudes. But, for the sake of her girls and her marriage, I hope they can work it out and that she and Joe find a way to be that happy couple I saw when the show first started. I just hope she can recognize her flaws, own up to them and make amends where needed.
I used to feel sorry for Teresa. But she's been waving that Italian flag WAY too long ie: We're Italian, that's just how he is, he didn't mean it, he was just joking....
Joe is a mean and selfish man. He is unkind and dispassionate father towards his girls and he is disrespectful and demeaning towards his wife. Because she is unable to accept she has less that a perfect marriage and life and is afraid to confront those truths, she takes her anger and sorrow out on everyone else in her path.
Girlfriend needs some therapy...and FAST.... before he strips her of any self-respect she may have left.
Is anyone really surprised? Joe is so disrespectful to Tre and she
just says," Oh, that's just how he is". Tre is in denial on so many
aspects of her life. She lives above her means, dresses like a
call girl, does not discipline her kids properly, is jealous of
anyone who gets more attention than her, is clueless about how life
really works, and lastly she needs to stop flaunting her body in
front of the other men on the show. Tre will never accept that Joe
is cheating even if she saw it with her own eyes. Sad, very sad.
Teresa is such a phony and a little nuts--living in la-la land. And, she's not very intellient. Can't understand how she have written several cookbooks when she can't pronounce most words. I can only describe Joe in one word, "trash."
Teresa and her husband are BOTH low-life trash.........they PRETEND to have so much but, in reality, they have nothing!!! She obviously has good editors for her cookbooks because the girl can't pronounce words, especially "big" words!! Really????? Really???? Like I said, TRASH.
Well Joe can only afford Friday's...... LOLOL
No way would Joe cheat on Teresa. They are such a cute couple and they have 4 beautiful kids. Sorry, everyone, Joe and Teresa are still my favorites in the show! You can tell by the way they look at each other that they are still in love! Joe and Teresa, don't listen to the haters who are jealous of you guys.

In response to the one-sided Friday letters package ("Ted Cruz: Hero or villain?"), I submit that the senator is doing what the majority of Texans sent him to Washington for — to fight against the socialization and bankruptcy of the United States.— Joshua Rosenfeld, GranburyWe get you don't like Ted Cruz! However, if you consider that the Republicans, Democrats, big business and one person from Oklahoma are against him, he must be doing something right! Did anyone notice that our "beloved" politicians ignored all year the fact that we were making no progress on the debt ceiling? Or that the news media didn't ask why? No, instead of doing their jobs, our politicians (Democrats and Republicans) wanted to keep us busy with topics like gay marriage, Trayvon Martin, voter ID and an assortment of other passionate topics to hide the fact that they continue to be incompetent! — Larry Hathaway, Grand PrairieI find it difficult to believe anyone who has any knowledge of how our government works can blame any one person (Ted Cruz) for singlehandedly shutting down the government.In fact, it took all members of Congress along with our president to make this shutdown happen. I'm not concerned about the shutdown causing me to lose my Social Security, but I am extremely concerned that if our president and Congress don't stop the constant spending, increase in entitlements and borrowing, we will truly be in a black hole. There aren't enough working, taxpaying U.S. citizens, no matter how wealthy they are, to ever pay down this debt at the horrific pace it's going.So, Ted Cruz's actions have put him in the forefront. He might not be popular, but, by golly, he has our attention. Hopefully, the Americans have had enough of this mess and will continue to elect people who have a backbone and leadership to do what has to be done to get this country back on the road to financial stability. — Betty Hall, EulessHouse Republicans first voted to fund all of government, except Obamacare. President Obama and the Democrats refused to negotiate and pass it. Then Republicans voted to fully fund the government, but merely delay the implementation of Obamacare one year. Obama and the Democrats refused to negotiate and pass it.Finally, Republicans voted to fully fund the government, but added that everyone live under Obamacare, including members of Congress and their staffs. Individuals should be treated the same as big businesses. Obama and the Democrats refused to negotiate and pass it.Democratic operative Karen Finney explained on MSNBC the Democrats' refusal to negotiate by comparing House Republicans to a teenager trying to borrow his mother's car. "No, I'm not negotiating!" the mother says. "It's my car!"Do you get it now? It isn't the Republican shutdown! It's the Democrats' car and we can't use it! — Larry Scala, Arlington

Clinical complications associated with diabetes may include the following:
Cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease, in many cases, is caused by atherosclerosis — an excess buildup of plaque on the inner wall of a blood vessel that restricts the flow of blood. Heart attack and stroke are 2 to 4 times more common in people with diabetes. In addition to high glucose, the other risk factors for cardiovascular disease that can be improved include smoking, high blood pressure, diabetic kidney disease, and high cholesterol.
Hypertension. High blood pressure affects as many as 2 out of 3 people who have diabetes. It dramatically increases the risk of diabetes-related complications, like heart attack, stroke, renal failure, and blindness.
Dental disease. Periodontal (gum) disease occurs with greater frequency in people with diabetes.
Retinopathy or glaucoma (eye disease or blindness). Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults between ages 20 and 74. In addition to high glucose, the other risk factors for blindness from diabetes that can be improved include smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetic kidney disease.
Renal disease (kidney/urinary tract disease). Diabetes is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a condition in which the patient requires dialysis or a kidney transplant in order to live. In addition to high glucose, the other risk factors for kidney failure from diabetes that can be improved include smoking, high blood pressure, and the use of certain medications (like pain pills).
Neuropathy (nerve disease). Approximately two-thirds of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of diabetic nerve damage. This can cause disabling pain requiring medicines. Severe forms of diabetic nerve disease are the major contributing cause of lower-extremity amputations.
Amputation. More than 60% of nontraumatic lower-limb amputations in the U.S. occur among people with diabetes. In addition to high glucose, the other risk factors that increase the risk of amputation and can be improved include smoking, high blood pressure, diabetic kidney disease, high cholesterol, and injuries to the feet.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is one of the most serious outcomes of poorly controlled diabetes, and primarily occurs in people with type 1 diabetes. DKA is marked by high blood glucose levels along with ketones in the urine.
People with diabetes must stay alert for symptoms that can lead to clinical complications. The best way to do this is to:
Get regular checkups (finding problems early is the best way to keep complications from becoming serious)
Keep appointments with your doctor, even when you are feeling well
Be aware of symptoms and warning signs (signs such as vision problems [blurriness, spots], fatigue, pale skin color, obesity [more than 20 pounds overweight], numbness or tingling feelings in hands or feet, repeated infections or slow healing of wounds, chest pain, vaginal itching, or constant headaches)
Carefully self-monitor blood sugar levels several times a day, as directed by your doctor
Control weight
Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet
Get regular exercise
Check your feet every day for even minor cuts or blisters
Quit smoking
Taking appropriate medicines for good blood pressure and cholesterol control

Vt Law School lays off two, buys out 10The Associated Press | January 19,2013SOUTH ROYALTON The Vermont Law School has reduced its workforce by 12 people, laying off two and buying out 10 other workers.
Law school spokeswoman Carol Westberg said none of the workers were faculty members.
Westberg said the buyouts were offered to staff in November, with a deadline of Jan. 3 to accept.
The 10 who took buyouts from the South Royalton school have negotiated with the school when they will leave. The two laid-off workers have already left.
President Marc Mihaly told the Valley News that those who took the buyouts received severance packages based on the length of time they had worked at the school.
The downsizing was needed because the school has received fewer applications from potential students over the past three years.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The Shumlin administration said Wednesday it is seeking $17 million more in midyear...

One fan in particular is Fireman Ed Anzalone. You may have seen him recently at games holding protest signs. He even publicly boycotted the Jets Chargers game on November 6th. This weekend he shared with us exclusively an open letter to Johnson that explains his feelings and frustration. Frustration and betrayal that is shared by thousands of loyal Jets fans worldwide.
Dear Woody Johnson,
When I fought for the Westside Stadium it was because it was the only option to have our own home. I fought with my heart as a Jets fan against Cablevision and all the naysayers. I fought with my New York City Firefighters Union over this issue. I love my fellow firefighters and give my heart and soul to my job like all those other firefighters do. There are some things I may have done differently. I would like to take back being in front of the firehouse, representing firefighters, I would have rather represented Jets fans on this issue.
What I dont take back, is the fact that I want the Jets to have their own stadium. I know I made some Jets fans angry about tailgating and other issues in regard to the proposed West Side Stadium. Although those things would be nice to have, the bottom line is having our OWN HOME. Thats what really matters.
With that being said, I was shocked when I and my fellow Jets Fans were blindsided by you by settling for a shared NJ stadium with the Giants. INSTEAD OF KEEPING UP THE FIGHT FOR OUR OWN STADIUM, you threw your cards in, you took your ball and went home.
We need our OWN HOME. To be honest, I dont care where the Jets stadium is, as long its somewhere in the Metropolitan area where we can get to it. There is no doubt that Queens is the most feasible and likely spot. However, if the organization wants it in Jersey City or next to the Meadowlands, Yonkers, or Aqueduct Racetrack, it doesnt matter. We will all be there.
This issue CANNOT be about convenience. It cannot be about people saying As long as it is good for me - it has to be about the team, about Our House, Our Organization and Our Home. I ask you, Woody, What have you done since you bought this franchise? We started where we are, and we are ending in the same dreaded place! Neither franchise is truly happy.
Why not go on your own and decide your own fate with your OWN HOME? Show that the Jets are a class franchise. PUT UP A DAMN FIGHT, battle until you find your HOME. The fans will wait, we have been waiting and supporting this organization all these years. We can wait as long as it takes, knowing the end result is worth the wait.
The shovels are not yet in the ground. MOVE ON! Make this organization SECOND TO NONE! Show the heart that the Jets fans have, show us that you can deliver, WELL BACK YOU, WE ALREADY HAVE!
Remember what you said the day you bought our beloved franchise? You said Jets fans need their OWN HOME. Look back on that film footage, and look in your heart and do the right thing. Jets fans are depending upon you. KEEP YOUR WORD, WOODY. JETS FANS WANT THEIR OWN STADIUM!
Just another loyal JETS fan
Fireman Ed Anzalone

Harvin Added To Pro Bowl RosterPosted by on January 4, 2010 – 4:10 pm
Vikings rookie WR Percy Harvin, who this season set a new team record for kickoff return TDs with 2 and last week set new team records for all-purpose yardage and rushing yards by a WR, has been added to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster as a kick returner.
Originally, Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson was tabbed as the NFC's Pro Bowl returner as well as a WR. Because Jackson was selected at 2 positions, he will participate in the Pro Bowl at the position for which he received the most voting points (WR) and Harvin will be added to the roster and occupy the other slot.
"I feel blessed to make it to the Pro Bowl," Harvin said on Monday. "It is a great honor and humbling to be recognized by the other players and coaches in the NFC. I also want to thank all the fans who voted for me. But the biggest thanks goes to my teammates. I can't do much of anything without the ten other guys blocking, so really it's like a special teams honor for all of us."
Harvin is the only Viking in team history with2 kickoff return TDs and his 27.5-yard kickoff return average is the 2nd-best single-season mark in team history. He is just the 2nd Vikings kick returner ever to be named to the Pro Bowl (Koren Robinson – 2005).
The 42-man NFC squad is comprised of 21 offensive and 17 defensive players plus 4 specialists.

Several Vikings Alter Team Record Book On SundayPosted by on January 4, 2010 – 3:12 pm
On Saturday in this space we, with the help of Vikings assistant director of public relations Tom West, enumerated several current Vikings who were on the verge of breaking team records with one game remaining in the regular season.
So now that the regular season has concluded, let's take a look at how those players did in their pursuit of team/personal records on Sunday…
– The 2009 Vikings did become just the 3rd team in franchise history to tally a perfect 8-0 record at home.
– With their win on Sunday, the Vikings collected their 22nd over the past 2 seasons, which is 1 win better than the New England Patriots, who lost to Houston on Sunday. The 22 Vikings wins over the past 2 seasons is 2nd only to the Indianapolis Colts, who came out on the winning end of games a total of 26 times since 2008.
– With 81 total yards on Sunday, rookie WR Percy Harvin broke the team's rushing/receiving/return yardage mark that was held by Herschel Walker. Harvin finished with 2,081 all-purpose yards to break Walker's previous record of 2,051, which was set in 1990.
– On the Vikings 1st offensive possession, Harvin motioned into the backfield from the slot and took a handoff from QB Brett Favre. Harvin then dashed 22 yards to the 1-yardline. That 22-yard run broke the Vikings rookie yardage record, which was held by teammate Adrian Peterson (2,021 yards in 2007).
– Peterson, by the way, found the endzone on Sunday and tallied his 18th TD of the season. That mark places him alone in 2nd place for TDs in a season, behind only Chuck Foreman's 22-TD effort in 1975. Going into Sunday's game, Peterson had 17 TDs and was tied with WRs Cris Carter and Randy Moss.
– Favre, who didn't throw an INT on Sunday, set a new career-low in INTs with 7 and he set a new team record for lowest INT percentage (number of INTs compared to attempts). The veteran gunslinger's previous low for INTs in a season was 13, set in 1995 and 1996. Favre also set a new Vikings record for the most games in a season not throwing an INT with 10, boasting a 9-1 record in those games.

Childress Lays Out Vikings Plan For Bye WeekPosted by on January 4, 2010 – 1:49 pm
Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress met with reporters at Winter Park on Monday afternoon for his usual day-after-the-game press conference to review Sunday's victory over the NY Giants and address questions about his team and how they'll approach their bye week.
By virtue of Sunday's win and a Philadelphia Eagles loss later in the day, the Vikings secured a 1st-round bye in the NFC playoffs and won't play again until Sunday, January 17 in the Divisional Round.
When asked if he preferred to have a bye this week compared to playing in the Wild Card round and continuing the momentum generated from 6 consecutive quarters of outstanding offensive production, Childress unequivocally said the bye is the way to go.
"I'm excited about it," Childress said of the 1st-round bye. "It's one of the goals that we set in place, aside from wanting to win the NFC North and playing at home in the playoffs. There's a reason you want to play at home. We have great crowds, great fans, obviously we're 8-0 at home and you want to play off of all those things."
Childress said he was about to head into a team meeting after the press conference to address his team and lay out the plan for the bye week.
"We'll take time to come in here and meet today and talk about what the calendar looks like," Childress said. "I think we're best served right now to get some rest mentally and physically."
Following the team meeting, it sounded as if the players were free to go for the week and spend time with their families. Some players, Childress said, will remain in town to treat and train in an attempt to be fresh for the playoffs. They will be expected back sometime over next weekend to resume their preparations for the Divisional round at some point on Sunday.
We've explained in this space in the past that being a head coach has demands that extend beyond just winning football games on Sundays. Balancing that with administrative duties and the task of managing so many different personalities, among other things, is a challenge and requires one to make difficult decisions.
But Childress said giving the players this week off at this point in the season was not a difficult decision.
"It is true that people you locker by every day you see more than you probably see members of your family," Childress explained. "When you spend that much time with somebody, sometimes familiarity can breed contempt. While we have a great group that's fun to be around, they can use a little down time from each other and come back with a bounce in their step on Sunday."
The Vikings coaching staff will spend this week working ahead on preparations for the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. It's impossible to know at this point who the Vikings will play in the Divisional Round, but since they've played games this year already against Arizona and Green Bay, the staff is better-served to focus on Dallas and Philadelphia this week. And although the Vikings can't play the Eagles unless they meet in the NFC Championship Game, it makes sense to prepare for the Eagles because they'll encounter a lot of tape on Philadelphia as they prepare for the Cowboys (both teams play in the NFC East).

A Down Season? Not For AdrianPosted by on January 4, 2010 – 11:35 am
A constant criticism I've heard this year from people who follow the Vikings is about Adrian Peterson. It's as if some suggest that #28 had a down year.
And I'm just not seeing it.
Or maybe I'm just not agreeing with it. I can see where fans point to the 7 lost fumbles. I'll acknowledge, that is a bad mark on his body of work. And it's also important to point out that his yards per carry number went down this season while his negative yardage runs went up.
But with all of that said, I look back at Peterson's season to this point and think he actually had a great year. He finished 2nd in the NFC and 5th in the NFL in rushing yards with 1,383, which is the 3rd best single-season effort in Vikings history and is more than he had during his rookie season. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry and was 2nd in the NFL in runs of 20+ yards.
Perhaps most importantly, though, is the fact that Peterson tallied a league-high 18 TDs and set a Vikings single-season records for games with a TD (12).
Another criticism I hear about Peterson is that the Vikings don't use him correctly. But again, I disagree. I'd actually argue that the Vikings have done a great job so far this season of using #28.
Sure, there are times late in games – in crunch time – when the Vikings best player (Peterson) isn't in the game. But isn't that why you have a player such as Chester Taylor? If you've got a guy who can pass protect and come out of the backfield as a great receiver in the screen game and the short passing game, why not use him?
On top of that, utilizing Peterson and Taylor in combination has probably increased production from Peterson. Since Peterson was drafted by the Vikings in 2007, Taylor has 352 carries and he's gained 4.5 yards per carry. So, the Vikings have taken 352 carries off of Peterson's workload (that's a whole season's worth of carries) over the past 3 seasons and they've still gained 4.5 yards on each of those carries. That's a very good job of managing RBs.
Just think about how quickly we've seen guys such as Larry Johnson and Terrell Davis and Jamal Anderson fall off the shelf because of over-use. The Vikings are avoiding that by using Taylor a fair amount. It's extending Peterson's career and, this year more than any other year, it's kept Peterson fresh as we approach the playoffs.
Finally, one more reason I think Peterson has had a great year and the Vikings have done a great job of managing the league's best RB is because they're continuing to improve his overall skill set. Peterson had a career-high 43 receptions for 436 yards during the 2009 regular season. His previous single-season high for receptions was 21 for 125 yards. The coaching staff is finding more ways to get him the ball? I'm all for that.
My conclusion is the Vikings used Peterson beautifully this season. They put him in when it counted (18 TDs), they saved wear and tear on him (Chester had 138 touches) and they nearly doubled his previous career-high in receptions.

Playoff Schedule Set For Wild Card WeekendPosted by on January 4, 2010 – 10:22 am
Although the Vikings and their fans won't have a rooting interest in the action next weekend, we can start making our plans for watching the games because the NFL has announced the schedule.
Wild Card Weekend kicks off on Saturday at 3:30 CT with an AFC rematch between the NY Jets and Cincinnati Bengals. On Sunday night the Jets and Bengals concluded their regular seasons by playing each other in New York, with the Jets winning 37-0 and thus earning a spot in the playoffs and a rematch with the Bengals. This weekend's game will be played in Cincinnati however, because the Jets enter the playoffs as a wild card and the Bengals enter as a division winner.
The nightcap on Saturday is an NFC matchup and another rematch from Week 17. The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off a 24-0 loss to the Cowboys, will make a return trip to Dallas to take on the NFC East champs. Kickoff for that game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. CT.
Both games on Saturday will be televised by NBC.
On Sunday, the AFC will begin the action again with a noon CT kickoff between the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots. Baltimore enters as the wild card while New England stands as winners of the AFC East.
Wild Card Weekend concludes with another rematch from Week 17, this one between the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ. Green Bay demolished Arizona in Week 17 during a game Arizona treated more like a preseason contest than a regular season game. Much more is on the line this time, though, and these teams will kickoff at 3:40 CT.
Indianapolis and San Diego have the byes in the AFC while the Vikings and New Orleans Saints have the NFC byes. The Vikings, as the #2 seed in the NFC, will play the highest-seeded winner in the NFC from Wild Card Weekend.
Here are the seeds for both the AFC and NFC:
1. Indianapolis Colts
2. San Diego Chargers
3. New England Patriots
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. NY Jets
6. Baltimore Ravens
1. New Orleans Saints
2. Minnesota Vikings
3. Dallas Cowboys
4. Arizona Cardinals
5. Green Bay Packers
6. Philadelphia Eagles

Favre Makes Strong Closing Argument For MVPPosted by on January 4, 2010 – 7:44 am
With his otherworldly performance – 25 of 31 for 316 yards and 4 TDs – on Sunday against the Giants in a dominant 44-7 victory, Vikings QB Brett Favre put the finishing touches on a strong closing argument for MVP consideration. In a weekend full of NFL drama, Favre, as no other player did, carried his team to victory in a big spot.
Although team achievement always trumps individual accomplishment, the debate about who should win this year's NFL MVP award is nearly as compelling as the debate about which team should be favored in this year's Super Bowl tournament.
There are so many things to consider in this MVP debate, from stats to team record to the intangibles an individual brings to his team. And the bottom line is there are probably 3 or 4 players worthy of this year's award.
The top 5 vote-getters – in my estimation – this year will be (in alphabetical order): Drew Brees, Favre, Chris Johnson, Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers.
Given this year's set of circumstances, I believe the MVP should be a QB, which leaves out Johnson, who broke Marshall Faulk's yards from scrimmage record this year.
With this debate down to a quartet of QBs, it becomes nearly impossible to separate the 4. But a very strong argument can be made for Favre.
At 40 years of age, Favre had his best season – he completed 68.4% of his passes for 4,202 yards with a pristine 33-7 TD-INT ratio and a passer rating of 107.2. The passer rating is the highest single-season rating of his career, he's tied for 2nd in TD passes behind Brees, threw fewer INTs than Brees, Manning or Rivers and had a similar completion percentage to Manning and a better one than Rivers. And, while the other 3 QBs coasted through the conclusion of the regular season, Favre put an exclamation point on it by passing for 637 yards, 6 TDs and 0 INTs in his final 2 games.
The statistical angle on this debate is pretty close to even – Brees was #1 in passer rating but Favre had more TDs and finished just 2.4 points behind in rating. When you consider some of the intangible factors, however, it gets even closer.
Some of the shine is wiped away from Brees' star because the Saints lost their perfect record down the stretch and had other close calls late in the season against the St. Louis Rams and Washington Redskins. So that bumps Manning up into the top 2 in this discussion with Favre.
Manning controls a game at the line of scrimmage as no other QB seems to do. He's a step ahead of everyone else and demands a high level of play from those around him. In fact, he increases the ability of those around him. But Favre has done the same thing this year. Favre has had the miracle finishes (vs. San Francisco), the dominant performances (Weeks 10-12 and vs. NY Giants) and the gutty performances (Weeks 1 and 2) that we've seen from him throughout his career. And then he topped it all off by having the best statistical season of his 19-year run in the NFL while also leading the Vikings to a 12-4 record and the NFC's #2 seed.
Anyone who has watched the Vikings in recent years knows exactly how valuable Favre is to this team. And that's what puts him over the top, perhaps, in this year's MVP debate. We've seen this every year from Manning, it seems. But what Favre did this season you don't see every year.
The Vikings offense has a different swagger and confidence with #4 under center. When the game is on the line, no longer do Vikings fans hope it's their defense that can somehow save the day. Now, Vikings fans are confident Favre will get the job done and the defense will close the door.
I don't know who should win this year's MVP award. Brees, Favre and Manning would all be good choices and it depends which angle you take (stats, team accomplishment, intangibles, etc.) as to who has the edge. But I do know that no matter which angle you take on this debate, the one consistent factor his Favre – he's either #1 or #2 in every aspect. He's done everything he could do to win it.

Lets All Be Grateful For The Fact That We Weren't Born In The Age Of Medieval Torture
April 3, 2014 | 15 Comments » | Topics: WTF
The Medieval period has to be one of the cruelest junctures in human history. This period of human history witnessed some of the most ingeniously sadistic forms of torture ever imposed on humankind. Here are 24 of the most brutal torture techniques ever devised to help you appreciate living in the 21st century.
Rat Torture
This method was very popular at the Tower of London during the Elizabethan era. Several rats were placed on top of the victim's abdomen, then a bucket was subsequently placed over the pests. A flame was then placed on top of the bucket, making it very hot. The rats' natural instincts kick in, and they try to get as far away from the heat source as possible…by digging downward.
The Pear of Anguish
Another Middle Age favorite, the pear of anguish was generally used to punish homosexuals, adulterers, and women who had had abortions. The pear was placed either vaginally (or rectally for men) closed, and then was twisted open. As it twisted, it split into four prongs with sharp ends, which proceeded to rip the insides of the victims. The pear was also used for liars and thieves and could be placed in the jaw, subsequently resulting in breaking the victim's jaw.
Crocodile Shears
The crocodile shears was an instrument of torture used in late medieval Europe and typically reserved for regicides – those who attempted (and, perhaps, succeeded) to assassinate the king. The shears were made of iron and were based upon the concept of pincers, but—instead of standard jaws or blades, crocodile shears ended in a pair of hemicylindrical blades that, when closed together, formed a long, narrow tube. The insides of the blades were generously lined with teeth or spikes. After being heated red-hot, the crocodile shears were applied to the erect penis, which—once exposed to sufficient tension—was torn from the prisoner's body; or at the very least leading to severe arterial bleeding.
This method of pillory was used generally for drunkards to embarrass them publicly. This was the medieval very timid version of a version of torture the ancient Persian (who were VERY good at torture, by the way) technique called "Scaphism". The victim was stripped naked then fastened in a tub, or a rowing boat. The victim was then forced to eat tons of milk and honey, as well as having it rubbed all over his or her face. They would then get diarrhea from the food. In the tub, they would then be swimming in their own filth. Along with this, the milk and honey on their faces would attract flies and other insects which would slowly eat the victim alive, wallowing in their own filth.
Scavenger's Daughter
The Scavenger's Daughter was invented as an instrument of torture in the reign of Henry VIII by Sir William Skevington (also known as William Skeffington), Lieutenant of the Tower of London. It was an A-frame shaped metal rack to which the head was strapped to the top point of the A, the hands at the mid-point and the legs at the lower spread ends; swinging the head down and forcing the knees up in a sitting position so compressed the body as to force the blood from the nose and ears. The Scavenger's Daughter was conceived as the perfect complement to the Duke of Exeter's Daughter (the rack) because it worked the opposite principle to the rack by compressing the body rather than stretching it.
This began in the Medieval inquisition. Generally, the hands were tied behind the victim's back, and they were then lifted by an overhanging pulley. This more than likely caused the victim's arms to pull out of their sockets. They would sometimes jerk the ropes up and down for added pain, and weights would also be added to the ankles occasionally.
Judas Chair
This procedure has remained essentially unchanged from the Middle Ages until today. The victim is hoisted up and lowered onto the point of the pyramid in such a way that his weight rests on the point positioned in the anus, in the vagina, under the scrotum or under the coccyx (the last two or three vertebrae). The executioner, according to the pleasure of the interrogators, can vary the pressure from zero to that of total body weight. The victim can be rocked, or made to fall repeatedly onto the point. The Judas cradle was thus called also in Italian (culla di Giuda) and German (Judaswiege), but in French it was known as la veille, "the wake" or "nightwatch". Nowadays this method enjoys the favour of not a few governments in Latin America and elsewhere, with and without improvements like electrified waist rings and pyramid points. Similar to the Judas Chair – but probably worse, is the Spanish Donkey:
The Spanish Donkey or the "wooden horse"
A favorite of the Spanish Inquisition (BIG fans of suffering, the Spanish Inquisition), particularly for women offenders. However, this method was used as recently as EARLY COLONIAL AMERICA. The victim would ride the top of the wedge, which could also contain several spikes. Weights were generally placed on the ankles, to add to the pain. Death was rare unless spikes were added, so other tortures would continue after the wooden horse.
Thumb Screws
Ever wonder why those clamps at home depot are called "THUMB screws?" Well there was a reason. These popular devices from the Middle Ages were used by placing the victim's thumbs and other fingers, which were then tightened, slowly crushing the victim's fingers. This was a method of confession and could last for days. A similar version was used for the knees and head.
The Wheel, or the "Breaking Wheel"
Though this device is simplistic and initially appears very mild, the truth is far from such. A popular method was simply strapping the victim's appendages to respective posts and have them hang at unusual angles. Sometimes fire was set below the wheel for added pain, or the wheel might be made to swing, putting tremendous stress on the hanging victims. This method is often likened to Jesus Christ's crucifixion in terms of brutality.
Lead Sprinkler
The lead sprinkler was essentially a ladle on the end of a handle. The top half of the sphere could be removed and the lower half was filled with molten metal, boiling oil, boiling water, pitch or tar. The perforated top half was then re-attached. Shaking or flicking the sprinkler towards the victim showered him or her with the boiling contents of the ladle. The victim had, of course, been pinioned in advance.
Breast Ripper
This item was used both as a punitive and an interrogational device. Punitively, it was used red-hot to mark the breast of unmarried mothers. In an inquisitory nature it was used on condemned women – convicted of heresy, blasphemy, adultery, self-induced abortion, erotic white magic and any other crime that the inquisitors selected. The claws were used, either cold or heated, on a female's exposed breasts – rendering them into bloody pulps. A variation was called the Spider. This consisted of clawed bars which protruded from the wall. A woman was pulled alongside the bars until her breasts were torn away.
Knee Splitter
A popular torture device during the Inquisition, the knee splitter does what it says: split victims' knees and render them useless. Built from two spiked wood blocks, the knee splitter is placed on top of and behind the knee of its victims. Two large screws connecting the blocks are then turned, causing the two blocks to close towards each other and effectively destroy a victim's knee. This device could also be used to inflict damage on other parts of the body such as the arms.
The Saw Torture
The saw torture was a big favorite during the middle ages, primarily because it was easily accessible. With just a few posts, some rope and a saw you could inflict a significant amount of pain to a person with minimal effort. It was considered a "cheap" way to kill people accused of things like witchery, adultery, or blasphemy. The main reason the person was tied upside-down was that it forced blood to rush to the brain, making you bleed out slower, so the torture could last longer. If done correctly, the person wouldn't die until the saw reached all the way to the naval.
Head Crusher
With the head placed under the upper cap and the chin placed above the bottom bar, the top screw of this awful device was slowly turned, compressing the skull tightly. First the teeth are destroyed, shattering and splintering into the jaw. Then the eyes are squeezed from the sockets – some versions had special receptacles to catch them. Lastly, the skull fractures and the contents of the head are forced out. In earlier stages, the torturer could keep the head firmly clamped and strike the metal skull cap periodically; each blow echoing pain throughout the victim's body.
The Spanish Tickler
It's a very simple instrument that was used to tear a victim's skin apart. Due to its shape, neither bones nor muscles were spared. The victim was naked and tied making him or her completely defenseless. Then the torturers began the (sometimes public) act of mutilating the victim. They often began with the limbs and slowly moved into the chest, back, neck and finally the face.
The Brazen Bull
The condemned were shut in the bull and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until it became yellow hot and causing the person inside to roast to death.
Heretics Fork
This torture device consisted of a metal piece with two opposed bi-pronged forks attached to a belt or strap. One end of the device was pushed under the chin, the other to the sternum, and the strap was used to secure the victim's neck to the tool while the victim hung from the ceiling or was somehow suspended so that they could not sleep. If their heads dropped, the prongs would pierce their throat and chest.
The Crocodile Tube
The victim was fixed inside a tube just big enough for the victim's entrance. The tube, having crocodile teeth-like spikes, was slowly compressed leaving the victim totally immobilized. The torturer could only see his face and feet. With the help of carbon and fire underneath the tube, the torturer gradually heated the tube until he extracted a confession or killed the victim.
The Spanish Chair
There are many variants of the chair. They all have one thing in common: spikes cover the back, arm-rests, seat, leg-rests and foot-rests. The number of spikes in one of these chairs ranges from 500 to 1,500. To avoid movement, the victim's wrists were tied to the chair or, in one version, two bars pushed the arms against arm-rests for the spikes to penetrate the flesh even further. In some versions, there were holes under the chair's bottom where the torturer placed coal to cause severe burns while the victim still remained conscious.
The Rack
The rack is a contraption designed to dislocate every single joint in its victim's body. Tied across the device's board by the ankles and wrists, the victim's body is then pulled in opposite directions by turning rollers at either end of the board. Great way of relieving a bad back, if you ask me. Of course, the subsequent pain caused by the multiple dislocations is another story.
In one version of the Flaying Torture, the victim's arms were tied to a pole above his head while his feet were tied below. His body was now completely exposed and the torturer, with the help of a small knife, peeled off the victim's skin slowly. In most cases, the torturer peeled off his facial skin first, slowly working his way down to the victim's feet. Most victims died before the torturer even reached their waist.
Iron Maiden
This torture device consisted of an iron cabinet with a hinged front and spike-covered interior, sufficient enough to enclose a human being. Once inside its conical frame, the victim would be unable to move due to the great number of steel spikes impaling them from every direction. The interrogator would scream questions at the victim while poking them with jagged edges.
Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered
During medieval times, the penalty for high treason in England was to be hanged, drawn and quartered in public and though it was abolished in 1814, it has been responsible for the death of thousands of people. In this torture technique, the victim is dragged in a wooden frame called a hurdle to the place of execution. They would then be hanged by the neck for a short period of time until they are near-death (hanged), followed by disembowelment and castration where the entrails and genitalia are burned in front of the victim (drawn). The victim would then be divided into four separate parts and beheaded (quartered).

If this is tight, then it would be logical for Putin to take all of Ukraine now, no?

#1´s deduction is spot on.This strategy sounds like the GOP not defunding Obamacare when they had the chance -- let the dims keep Obamacare, it will destroy them.Yeah, that´s the ticket.

In a sane world, Putin´s (and the referendum voters´) actions will simply restore Crimea to its 1954 status (as a part of Russia) and that will be the end of it. It will not destroy Putin - nor "make" the Ukraine - unless a now partially "de-Russified" Ukraine leads toward its making.A year from now we will all be worrying over what Michelle is going to wear on her next diplomatic mega-tour - unless...The Neo-Neocons continue to make Cold War where there does not have to be Cold War ... and/or if Putin is not badgered into running a few more referendums simply to get the goats of all those Western political gasbags comparing him to Josef Stalin (who was not Russian but from Georgia, btw).

Some of the points in the article make some sense, but I have to wonder if it´s just sophistry to justify cowardice against naked aggression.The Russians have 100K troops near the border of Ukraine. What will be said if Putin invades the rest of Ukraine? "Let him have Ukraine - and it will destroy him?"

Right you all are. "Let Hitler have the Sudetenland (and Poland and the Netherlands and Belgium and France) -- and it will destroy him."

Great upscale LA restaurant for a date night/birthday dinner?
Hi everyone,
My hubby and I are going on a date night for my birthday dinner.. Can you recommend some great restaurants anywhere in the Los Angeles area? Originally, I was thinking of going to The Bazaar, but I wanted to see what else was recommended. Definitely want more of an upscale place with a fun vibe and amazing food. We'd like to keep it under $300 for the entire dinner (food, a couple drinks, tax & tip).
Thanks in advance! :)
re: uncommonindustries
Very disappointed in my one try at Gjelina. Also they dont have a full bar. Sam's by the Beach is a very romantic mediteranean just off the coast on West Channel in Santa Monica. Link below. Great food and service. Also, Capo in Santa Monica is outstanding.
re: uncommonindustries
i love gjelina too, but not for a special occasion.
don't like ending up at a teeny, tiny table situated in a doorway: so tiny that it didn't really have room for all the items that we ordered.
don't like needing to wait even with a reservation.
don't like that there is no place to sit down while waiting.
i DO like going there for lunch at 2:30
or going there for dinner at 5:30.
i LOVE their food.
For places I've been, of course there's Providence for upscale, though I'm not sure it fits the "fun vibe" requirement. Somewhat less upscale, but I think more romantic, also with great food is Hatfield's. On the more fun-vibe end is Red Medicine.
[Insert my standard rec for FIG at the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica for their FIG at Five (50% off nearly everything when ordered between 5 PM and 6 PM) promotion. Upscale hotel, casual atmosphere, near the beach (alas no beach view), excellent food, and affordable with and without the discount.]
For places I haven't been but are dying to try, Melisse for upscale, and ink for fun vibe.
re: PeterCC
Red Medicine is fun and very good. Would not say romantic. Sotto is also a favorite.
re: BSW6490
Agreed on RM not being traditionally romantic. Note that OP did not mention romantic, but since it's a date night/birthday dinner, I threw that adjective in with my rec for Hatfield's.
re: PeterCC
I like Providence and I like Red Medicine. I agree that most people would be more likely to call Red Medicine "fun" than "Providence" but I have to confess that I'm not really sure why. Providence isn't stuffy and fun shouldn't just be a synonym for loud. I'd probably go with Providence and save Red Medicine for a night that I wasn't budgeting up to $300 for dinner. Hatfield's and Melisse are both near the top of my list of places to try though.
The Hallucinations Tasting Menu with paired cocktails at Rivera might also be a good fit. I haven't done the full tasting menu but had some of the items that were offered during dineLA and liked them.
re: bg90027
Fun and upscale are certainly not mutually exclusive, and I agree on fun not equaling loud. I just can't imagine chatting with the waitstaff or fellow diners at Providence as readily as I could at RM, but that doesn't mean that can't or doesn't happen at the former...
Check out the Bel Air Hotel for great food served in a beautiful garden setting. You shoul be able to come within your budget. This is a special occasion kind of place. See their website.
Ostereia Mozza. Boy do I love anything from their amazing mozzarella bar and of course their Ricotta & Egg Raviolo with browned butter
re: wienermobile
That sounded so darn good I looked around on Google and found this beautiful blog entry with one photo of this dish that just makes you want to jump into your car and go tearing down to OM to have this dish: http://foodisluv.blogspot.com/2009/06...
re: Servorg
yes, yes it does.
re: wienermobile
You're killing me...but in a good way. ;-D>
Personally, my favorite birthday dinner would be in the front room at Dan Tanas. Incredibly fun vibe. Great steaks, whitefish and my fav the dark meat chicken beckerman.
Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone! I was actually looking into Providence too, but I figured we would go over our $300 budget (for the mid-range tasting menu, I think).. Hatfield's and Osteria Mozza sound great also, definitely gonna look into those.. Thanks again!
How about Chinois on Main? Great food, check. Good vibe, check. Excellent service, check. With mostly their smaller dishes (which are almost as large as their larger) you will be well under budget. If you enjoy watching open kitchens you can sit in the back or request a table in front to see Main Street pass by. Often overlooked these days, but with Spago being renovated Chinois sort of becomes the flagship and the food is still outstanding. Be sure to order the minced stir-fried lamb in radicchio cups with onion rings. The whole deepfried catfish with ponzu is a classic dish. Great restaurant, well worthy of a BD celebration.
re: rickym13
Agree with Saddle Peak Lodge. Wonderful food in their unique rustic location. Their elk tenderlion is truly amazing.
re: Dirtywextraolives
Spago is closed until September.
re: wienermobile
Thanks ;)

I know the Lord is in control but its hard not to fret about it! There are so many unknowns with adoption and this one specifically so will you pray that we feel a peace about everything? Thank-you all!

I'm sorry to say I do not know you, but came across you blog randomly. The similarities of our lives are almost scary. We lost our son Jude when I was 28 weeks pregnant last fall, and are now 7 weeks away from the birth of our daughter through adoption. I do understand the nerves of feeling on the edge of disaster (again), but God is good. So good, and He will carry us through. Praying for you sister and your family.

Praying for you and all those out there waiting and hoping. We brought our little girl home a year ago in March and my nerves can already get in a knot when I think about baby M #2. Adoption is an amazing gift, but it's not free of heartache. I pray that all goes seamlessly for you guys!!!

To call Emmylou Harris a great, even iconic country singer is both paying her an ultimate compliment and a bit misleading. Her fine, reedy voice has confirmed her country credentials by making listeners feel every ounce of heartache for years. But Harris also has more eclectic interests, really tapping the breadth and depth of the musical universe for inspiration, making her a visionary artist in scope and insight. She covers the Louvin Brothers, Johnny Ace, and Springsteen, and her vocals have been paired with Dolly Parton, Mark Knopfler, Conor Oberst, and Elvis Costello. Last year's Hard Bargain was unusual in that Harris wrote most of the material, with striking results about mentor Gram Parsons, post-Katrina New Orleans, the murdered Emmett Till, and her late friend Kate McGarrigle. All their spirits will likely swirl around the stage. Opening will be Field Report, a highly touted Milwaukee outfit with a fall album due that's the brainchild of Chris Porterfield, former bandmate of Bon Iver and Megafaun. (Photo by Jack Spencer)
