There are countless ways to move the ball against the Eagles' hair-on-fire defense.
"You kind of have to simplify what they do," Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said Thursday at Halas Hall. "And sometimes you've got to fight crazy with crazy — and attack them a little bit."
The Eagles are crazy — but not crazy-good.
Entering the game Sunday against the Bears, only two teams have allowed more than the Eagles' 402.4 yards per game, and only one has allowed more than their 291.6 passing yards.
But the unit has forced 26 turnovers, tied for sixth-most in the NFL.
One way or the other, it seems the Eagles want to give the ball back to their offense
Bears left guard Matt Slauson called the 3-4 defense strange.
Defensive ends often rush up the field, the opposite of what 3-4 ends are taught. Sometimes they drop into coverage or stunt with linebackers.
Unlike most 3-4 defenses, the Eagles don't always leave the guards uncovered.
"They move so much," rookie right tackle Jordan Mills said. "They switch D-tackles. Put their defensive linemen in certain spots that are not ordinary.
"They never stay in the same look for more than a series."
Because of the defense's athleticism, Mills compared the Eagles to the Rams and Bengals, who held the Bears to 24 and 21 points, respectively. The Bears average 29.
"But you can't compare them scheme-wise," Mills said, "because nobody in the league schemes like them."
The Eagles have kept opposing offenses under 21 points 11 times, second-best in the NFL. But the Broncos' offense scored 38 against them. Last Sunday, the Vikings' offense scored a ridiculous 48.
"They're going to try to force turnovers," offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer said. "They're going to do everything to confuse you.
"And so everybody has to follow their rules closely in the game and stick with their technique to have success."
The front seven turns exotic on third downs, coach Marc Trestman said, while defensive backs play more unusual coverages on first and second.
"We've got to do everything we can to basically unlock their blitzes and try to get comfortable with the protections," he said. "Because they look different on almost every third-down situation."
Aggressiveness means the Bears will get beaten a few times in Philadelphia.
If history is any indication, they'll do some beating, too.
"They're gonna get you sometimes," Mills said, "but it's how you respond to that, that matters."

Apple cofounder Steve Jobs is dead at 56
I think he was at the helm, rather than the keel, as the latter is the structural element upon which the hull is built.
Never liked Apple products, but that's a matter of personal taste and in no way detracts from a completely non-grudging admission that they're very good pieces of kit. Jobs changed the entire market, and will be greatly missed.

Crying into your latte about the hideous state of the legal system is all well and good, but you might want to take a few minutes to find out what the bloke actually did.

I wonder why.

So Anonymous has been added to the list of Proscribed Terrorist Groups, has it? I did check, but I didn't see them in the list. Maybe you're privy to goings-on at a higher level than mere mortals - certainly, your self-indulgent, bombastic whining would suggest that you see yourself as so - so I'd be much obliged if you could provide some evidence, ta.
Even if you're going with the looser 'terrorists are people who cause terror' definition - well, still wrong. I might be terrified of getting blown up on a tube train, possibly, if I had any genuine reason to suspect such an event was about to occur. I would not be terrified of being temporarily unable to make a Mastercard payment. That's annoying, not terrifying. They are, if anything, 'annoyingists'.

Somewhat hypocritically, it's actually *official policy* for Saudi Arabia to burn any bibles, crosses, or other Christian paraphenalia coming into their country? At least our 'hate speech' is restricted to the lunatic fringe, rather than being a the government's official stance.

If your average military Joe was an idealist who'd signed up to altruistically make the world a better place, rather than some exam-failing puppy-hurling mouthbreather with a consipcuous lack of more appealing options, you might have a point. Not fit to lick their boots? Don't be so egregiously stupid. These people are hired to enforce the whims of the society that pays them, whatever they might be; they do not operate on an untouchable moral highround, are not beyond criticism, and can f*cking well clean their boots with polish rather than the adoring spittle of sycophantic 'civvies'.
Let's be clear; there's no evidence that Assange's oversight/error/arrogance has thus far contributed to any civilian deaths, and there's no suggestion whatsoever that he's directly killed any. Can the same be said of the armed forces? No? Then let's maintain a little perspective here.
20 thumbs up for this peurile, sub-sixthform rant? Heavens above...
Birmingham jihad-cam network suspended
One moment....
"I find your take on the world a little Orwellian, and terrifying. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear?""
Why would you put this in quotation marks, given that I did not say this, or anything that might be construed as such? I stated - twice, and perfectly clearly - that I have no problem with cameras being located *in public areas*, where anyone passing through can already be seen by anyone else passing through. The things you list, the dirty little secrets you might wish to remain private, would probably not be aired in such places anyhow. Or are your really suggesting that a crowded street is the best place to cheat on your wife?
Orwellian? Pff. Actually *read* his work, and understand it, before tossing out peppy little accusations which bear no resemblence to the matter under discussion. A few cameras in a public highway does not herald the dawn of 1984. You're making straw men, and it's painfully obvious.
I need neither your permission, nor your approval, to post as and where I please - nor do I need the approval of sub-sixthform handwringers who feel that everything would be sweetness and light if only we all just understood each other. It wouldn't be. Without rules and regulations, it would be a mess. The natural state of humanity is to be dicks to one another, and it's only the enforcement of social contract which keeps us in line.
Your view of power is tired, cliched, and false - you're mentally stocking parliament with wall-to-wall scheming Grand Vizier types who desire nothing other than to crush the common man and become enormously wealthy in the process. Seriously, did you get your political views from watching cartoon villains and James Bond films? I have no patience for such blinkered, ridiculous mendacity; if this is your one-size-fits-all genuine understanding of those in power, then you have much to learn.
A well framed reply, and somewhat more considered than the 'OMG CAMERAZ' effort to which I initially responded.
You argue that the only perfectly safe computer is one with no network connections, and no hope of physical access. This is true. It does not, however prevent a sysadmin from doing everything in his power to mitigate risk to the items for which he bears responsibility; he will keep the things patched, employ a decent firewall, and so forth. It may not be perfectly secure, but it's a whole lot better than shrugging one's shoulders and concluding that because we can't prevent *all* incursions, it's futile to attempt prevention of any.
Would I have spent money on these cameras? No, probably not. Do they offend my sense of being a free man in a free country? Not really. If I'm out in public, I expect to be seen, and I don't particularly care who's doing the watching. I would be horrified if they were routinely bugging private residences of random citizens, but that's not the issue.
You question how many deaths have been prevented by the work of the intelligence agencies. I don't know. I suspect you don't either. It's impossible to say; what is concrete, and demonstrable, is that they've interrupted operations intended to cause harm, and retrieved materials capable of doing exactly that. Lacking a crystal ball, I cannot say for sure whether these planned attacks would have been successful, and I'm profoundly grateful that no innocent people were made to find out.
Lastly, I find your view of those in power depressing. I don't doubt that there are some as you describe, motivated by power alone; I assume a fair number are motivated by cash, and the desire to line their pockets. I do know, personally, one MP who's in it for good, altruistic reasons -- and I struggle to think he's the only one. It's a mixed bag, certainly - but the common factor is that none of them have anything to gain by alienating subsections of the population for no perceptible reason.
We pay the security services to do a job, and until they blatantly overstep the line, I'm happy for them to get on with it. I'm not privy to the information they have, I have no knowledge of the hints, leads, and clues which decide their strategy. I understand that if this information was made public, so the population could judge the merits of their actions from a position of full disclosure, their jobs would be made impossible, and there would be no point in employing them at all.
100% prevention would be nice - but I'll settle for mitigation. If you have failed to bury your computer, and yet use a firewall (etc), you are already doing the same. It's not a bad thing.
Nobody might be up to no good?
Keep an aye on the newspapers, you obtuse little troll. You will be proved wrong.
You seem to think I'd personally be nervous about being seen on cameras. As it happens, so long as I'm in a public place where I can be freely seen anyhow, I couldn't care less.
If you honestly believe, as you seem to, that the country is populated with wholly nice and peaceful people, and that the only fundamentalists worth any concern are of teh Christian variety, then your opinion is utterly without merit. History proves you wrong. The future will prove you wrong. There are a great deal of naughty people, and I've no problem with The Man doing his best to weed them out.
Oh, grow up
The society you describe - that of oppressed minorities suffering nobly under the boot of callous, uncaring Fundamental Christians (and other boogeymen) simply does not exist.
Fact is, if you're a part of a group whose fringe members have repeatedly and unequivocally expressed an interest in causeing real, violent harm to the country, that country's security services are going to take more of an interest in that group - and unfortunately, some perfectly sane, reasonably and innocent people might be inconvenienced. I'm well aware that a great many attrocities have been prevented through infomartion sourced within the Muslim community - it seems that Joe Muslim is no happier with the lunatic fringe than anyone else. Hopefully, they can appreciate tht they are not being targetted by this.
It's a few cameras, which can (presumably) be removed if they don't assist in their stated purpose. If they do assist in their stated purpose - detecting and preventing acts of violence - excellent. Let's have more.
Oh - the irony (and hypocrisy) of people whinging about photographers not being allowed to photograph anything and everything they please, whilst simultaenously claiming that the state itself has no right to caputre images, is not lost on me.
Bullfighter cuffed for lack of cojones

City Police still using Terror Act to bother photographers
You are conflating a policeman potentially over-stepping the mark in a largely-harmless fashion with a robbery/mugging of 'you phone' [sic], suggesting (falsely) that 'its [sic] only borrowing' in the latter case, simply because it is in the first. The two are not equivalent, and any suggestion otherwise relegates you to the status of 'intellectually absent'.
Nice signoff, by the way - really shows you up as an unimaginative troll without the wit to form an argument, or even a decent insult.
The story: 'Man searched in street, phone taken and returned'.
The Commentard response: 'OMG POLICE STATEz!111!!1one!!1'
Every time the police do anything, at all, to anyone, the ineffectual fury is sure to follow. Nevermind they do a tough - and largely good - job, nevermind the fact that they're constantly hassled by people who think they're 'pigs' (see first few comments - 30-something 'thumbs up', none down - and let's not start on the idiot who reckons he has a 9/10 chance of being arrested for taking pictures) rather than officers of the law. They offended one bloke, RESTRAINED AND SEARCHED him, no less - leaivng no marks, taking very little of his time, and borrowing his 'phone - which is essentially tantamount to murder, ain't it? Or so you'd think from the ensuing nerdrage.
Fortunately, the world is a saner place under actualy, functioning human beings than it would be under you hand-wringing failures. Try living in an actual 'police state', then compare it to here. Even better, try living in lawless anarchy, and see how pleasant your whiney little lives are there.

I'm no fan of the man, or a voter for his party, but to claim that he's universally-hated, and that you know of no-one who approves of his premiership, is laughably retarded. He was PM because the party chose him as its leader - all above board. Move along, nothing to see (or whine about) here.
Met terror squad beats all complaints
Has it occurred to any of you blubbering lefties
having not seen the charges filed, that this might actualy might be all above-board?
If roughly half have been handled in-house, as it were, that's a tacit acknowledgement of wrongdoing in 50% of cases. What more do you want? A self-flagellating security service, afraid of its own shadow? Or replace them altogether with bearded hippies brining peace nad harmony through yogic flying?
These are armed, trained men, sent only into the most difficult situations. Sometimes, sh... things happen. Get over it, and stop pouring the whine.

text: CNN, NBC: Sore Loser McCain's Libya Crusade 'Personal' by John Nolte 14 Nov 2012 post a comment Share This: Now that Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham are very publicly ramping up their push to get to the bottom of what happened in Libya, Obama's media guardians are trying to undermine McCain's investigation by portrating it as motivated by nothing more than animosity still left over from the 2008 campaign. CNN's Dan Bash accused McCain of suffering from "residual campaign fever:" -- Just a few moments ago on MSNBC, NBC's Chief White House Correspondent, Chuck Todd, practically mocked McCain, accusing him of the same motives. Todd then went on to credit Obama for the restraint he's shown over the last four years in the face of McCain pursuing his sore loser vendetta. Apparently, there's no low the media won't stoop to block, distract, and deflect away from anything that might help us get to the bottom of what happened on September 11th of this year. And as Mitt Romney learned and McCain is learning now, the media is prepared to publicly brutalize anyone who raises questions or wants to get to that truth. But as I mentioned here, protecting Obama's place in history is the media's second-term crusade, and the only way to do that is to whack-a-mole anyone who dares expose the president's unforgivably dishonest bungling that cost four Americans their lives and then tried to cover it up.

A Shawnee County Parks and Rec facility could have your name on it.
A fundraising plan released by Parks and Recreation to Shawnee County Commissioners Thursday puts prices on naming opportunities for Shawnee County facilities.
The costs paid to have a facility named after you or your business will be developed into a fund with the Topeka Community Foundation for future repairs and projects. Parks and Rec Director John Knight says the goal is to take some pressure off taxpayers.
"As time goes on things begin to age," Knight said. "That's why over the past few years here a lot of money has been spent on some of our facilities, to modernize them, bring them up to date so that they were maintained properly for the public. We would have a source of funds then that offset tax dollars anywhere between 40 and 50 percent offsetting tax dollars for doing those type of things."
Some pricing guidelines so far range from $50,000 to $2 million. Those include naming opportunities for the Lake Shawnee baseball and softball complexes, the Lake Shawnee trail, golf course, Ted Ensley gardens, and Shawnee South Aquatics Sprayground.

Time After Time Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper
Review The Song (13)
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I will be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
You say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

This song made me realise that it doesn't have to be war when you lose an ex that you love. That even though it hurts. It may very well benefit both you and tthe other if you just try to care about one another. Even when it's still hard.
Poetically Hypnotic | Reviewer: Vincent Clarke | 8/29/12
I'm a hardcore Hip Hop loving fanatic, but this song always seems to play the strings of my emotions like an angelic harp. It's the perfect combination of the perfect poetic words, harmoniously blended with the perfect music which matches the subject matter perfectly. (lol)
The difference between a "hit" and a "classic", is that a "hit" will only be relevant for the short rise and fall of it's era and momentous glory. However, a "classic" will stand the test of time and be a hit forever. "Classics" somehow remain to be relevant no matter how much time passes, and they evoke similar emotions of joy or sadness from generation to generation. The funny thing is that, I don't believe anybody attempts to write a classic on purpose even though they are hoping what they are writing becomes one. The writers of classics simply intend to write a "hit" because they are living in the moment and can't possibly know what the future holds or what will be "hot" 20 or 30 years from now. However, in their deliberate attempt to write that hit, they unintentionally make a classic. In actuality, song writers probably hope everything they write will be a hit and a classic. (lol)
Just like John Lennon's "Imagine" or Gloria Gaynor's, I Will Survive", or Michael Jackson's whole "Thriller" album... this song joins the list of the few timeless masterpieces. Thank you, Cyndi, for giving us a piece of your soul that we can cherish forever.
Breathless | Reviewer: Ede Amarachi Casmir | 5/13/12
I use to be a very emotional somebody and i ve lived and grown with this nice artistic work by Cyndi Lauper..But now am fighting heartbreak,trying to hold back a lost love.I fall heels over stone but 'time after time' is and will always be the best companion.I hope if she falls,she will look and she will find me..But till then! TIME AFTER TIME
Pure Art | Reviewer: David | 2/12/12
This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of artistic expression. If Vincent van Gogh had been a songwriter instead of a painter, this is a song in which he would have taken most pride. It's a song of artistry of composition and of vision.
My favourite | Reviewer: Victor | 12/7/10
Time after time was, is, and will always be one of my best songs. There are times when I listen to the song and I'd play it over and over again. The sound of this track and Cyndi Lauper's voice made it a great song. Thank you Cyndi.
My review | Reviewer: River | 7/8/10
Cyndi Lauper did an amazing job on this track . This song makes me cry every time I listen to it because it reminds me of me and my mother's strained relationship. I keep telling her that when she needs me, I'll be there time after time. I am quite young so I wasn't born when the song was popular. Even though I am 17, I Still prefer Time after Time and any other 80's songs besides the repulsive songs that people listen these days.

Timeless | Reviewer: Steve Borrow | 7/5/08
The great Jazz genius, Miles Davis, was fascinated by this hypnotic rhapsody. Did Cyndi just get lucky? Well, she was (is) no one-hit-wonder. Her voice back in the 80s when she became famous, had a vulnerable, child like quality, emanating from doll-like facial features: a kind of innocence and sensuality fused with a teenage rebelliousness is the best way I could explain it. I was fascinated by her then, and remain so and would include Time After Time among any list of the best pop tunes composed. And hey, who would dare disagree with Miles?
amazing song | Reviewer: mousie | 3/31/08
this is a great song, i realized alot while listening to it. i love songs that can make you think of people you love, or loved. this song makes me cry every single time. i am going through alot of hard times now, im changing my attitude towards myself and relationships. this song has helped me soo much ! <3 cyndi lauper!
Time After Time | Reviewer: Mike | 11/3/07
Driving home tonight, I was enjoying this song for the umteenth dozen time, and was reminded of what a great performer Cyndi is.
At about her age, I too have been enjoying her work for many years.
A GREAT song.

President Barack Obama is calling House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid back to the White House Thursday for more budget negotiations aimed at heading off a government shutdown.
The White House says Vice President Joe Biden will also attend the 1 p.m. EDT meeting aimed at reaching a deal to fund the government before a deadline of midnight Friday.
Obama met with Boehner and Reid at the White House late Wednesday night for more than an hour. All parties said the meeting was productive but no deal was reached. Obama says the parties must move with urgency.
Thursday's meeting comes after Reid said on Capitol Hill that he was growing less optimistic about the prospect of reaching an agreement.
Meanwhile, Reid is blaming a potential government shutdown Friday night on Boehner's insistence on keeping conservative policy prescriptions on the environment and abortion in a must-pass government funding bill.
Reid said late-night negotiations have largely produced an agreement on how much to cut spending but that Republicans are insisting on rewriting the Clean Air Act and injecting abortion into the debate.
The Nevada Democrat said the policy provisions have no place on "a bill to keep the government running."
Among the abortion battles on the bill is a ban on taxpayer-funded abortions in Washington, D.C.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The Lee County School Board has decided to forgo a national superintendent search. Our partners at the News-Press are reporting that the decision was made today.
The board still has to vote later this month. The current superintendent, Nancy Graham, was hired under the condition that a national search would take place in October. The board now says they will not start that search. Graham will keep the job for the year, and then they will decide how to proceed at a later date.

Fan Email: Is Jabar Gaffney A Good Fit For Vikings?Posted by on May 3, 2012 – 6:30 am
Whenever a recognizable name becomes available, whether it is via trade rumors or free agency – the first thing that comes to mind for many fans and football observers is, "Is he a good fit here?" And so, with the Washington Redskins releasing WR Jabar Gaffney earlier this week, I've received several emails from fans asking if the Vikings would be a good match for his services.
It appears the answer is no.
As they do with every player who becomes available, the Vikings will likely discuss Gaffney's availability and evaluate whether or not he's a good fit here. It appears Gaffney has plenty of gas left in the tank. He may be 31 years old, but he's coming off a season in which he recorded career highs in receptions (68) and receiving yards (947), and tied a career high with 5 TDs.
But I'm just not sure he's a good fit here. The Vikings signed 4-year veteran Jerome Simpson last week, they have veterans Devin Aromashodu, Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins set to return, and they selected two WRs in the 4th round of last weekend's draft (Greg Childs and Jarius Wright). That's not to say any of those receivers are superior to Gaffney – they may be, they may not – but it does yield the conclusion that Minnesota may not be a great fit for Gaffney.
The other factor to keep in mind is that for a team and a player to join forces, there must be mutual interest. This is something many fans didn't consider with regard to the Asante Samuel situation. Yes, the Atlanta Falcons acquired his services for a moderate price from the Philadelphia Eagles, but not every team had the same opportunity as Atlanta. Samuel identified Atlanta has a desirable destination, and he was therefore willing to talk turkey with them in terms of restructuring his contract.
Gaffney will now be in a similar situation. There will be a demand for his services, so Gaffney will choose his next team among multiple options. The smart money should be on the New England Patriots, the team for which he played from 2006-08, especially after ESPN's Josina Anderson tweeted this. While there is a deep crop of WRs in New England, Gaffney will likely begin his next stint with the Patriots as one of the preferred pass-catchers given his familiarity with the organization and Tom Brady from his first stint with the team, as well as his familiarity with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after their time together with the Denver Broncos from 2009-10.

Vikings Utilize Draft, Free Agency To Upgrade WR PositionPosted by on April 30, 2012 – 6:27 am
The Vikings entered the offseason with several items on their to-do list, and one of those items was "upgrade the WR position." Over the past week or so, the Vikings have done a nice job of utilizing the draft and free agency to do just that.
A week ago, the Vikings returning receivers with significant playing time under their belt from the 2011 season were limited to: Devin Aromashodu, Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins. Several young players, including Manny Arceneaux and Stephen Burton, were also in the fold, but none of them contributed significantly a season ago.
Fast-forward to now, though, and you see improvement. No one will characterize the Vikings WR position as an embarrassment of riches at this point, but there is plenty of reason for optimism about what the Vikings have added.
It started prior to the draft, when the Vikings reached agreement on a free agent contract with veteran Jerome Simpson. A 2nd-round pick of the Bengals in 2008, Simpson had his best season a year ago when he hauled in 50 receptions for 725 yards and 4 TDs. He brings good size and elite athleticism to the Vikings WR corps, and will provide the Vikings offense with the outside, field-stretching presence it needs.
Then during the draft, the Vikings used two 4th-round selections to add even more talent to the group. Jarius Wright, an explosive and ultra-productive slot receiver for Arkansas, was added first. Just minutes later, the Vikings also added Greg Childs, a childhood friend and college teammate of Wright's. Childs is the prototypical outside WR because of his great size (6-3, 219 pounds) and speed (4.54 in 40-yard dash) combination along with his ability to make acrobatic catches and win versus coverage down the field.
Again, let's not put the cart before the horse and declare mission accomplished when it comes to improving the passing game. But there's no question the Vikings added 3 talented players to their WR corps over the last week, and that's an exciting development for Vikings fans and surely for Vikings QB Christian Ponder.

Vikings Bring Back WR AromashoduPosted by on March 28, 2012 – 9:53 am
The Vikings are in the midst of reshuffling their roster, placing an emphasis on getting younger and building for the long-term while also trying to fill needs. While he won't solve every problem the Vikings have at the position, WR Devin Aromashodu has been identified as a player who fits within the team's plans for 2012.
The Vikings have re-signed Aromashodu, who set career highs with 26 receptions for 468 yards along with 3 TDs and 2 special teams tackles last season, his first with the Vikings. Going into his 6th NFL season in 2012, the Florida native has appeared in 46 games over his career, including 11 starts.
Drafted by Miami in the 7th round of the 2006 NFL Draft, Aromashodu spent time in Indianapolis from 2006-07 and Chicago from 2008-10 before coming to Minnesota.

Aromashodu Impresses With Diving 1st-Quarter TD CatchPosted by on October 3, 2011 – 6:55 am
Prior to this season, the only memory Vikings fans had of WR Devin Aromashodu was of him sprinting under a Jay Cutler-thrown pass to haul it in and score a TD in overtime to defeat the Vikings at Soldier Field during the 2009 season. But now, Vikings fan can replace that memory with a better one.
Aromashodu did to the Chiefs what he did to the Vikings back in 2009, except it wasn't a game-winning score in overtime. It was a 34-yard pass from Donovan McNabb in the 1st quarter that gave the Vikings an early 7-3 lead. Click here to watch a video replay of the TD.
On the play, Aromashodu was lined up wide on the left side of the field, with CB Brandon Carr lined up in coverage. The Chiefs were playing with a single high safety. McNabb was under center, took the snap, gave a little play-action fake to Peterson and saw that Aromashodu flew right past Carr. McNabb lofted a pass into the end zone and Aromashodu caught up to the pass, left his feet fully extended and was able to catch and maintain possession as he fell to the ground.
Even in a game that resulted in another Vikings loss, that play by Aromashodu is encouraging. And it makes you wonder what other kinds of plays the 4-year veteran can make if he's given a chance. Aromashodu was a standout on special teams during the preseason, and I fully appreciate his value there. But I must also say it would be a welcomed addition to the offense if Aromashodu can find ways to make plays in the passing game, too.

Vikings Drop 22-17 Road Decision To ChiefsPosted by on October 2, 2011 – 4:25 pm
The Vikings went to Kansas City this weekend looking for their first win of the 2011 season, but they came up short in their attempt as the Chiefs defeated them 22-17 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon. It's another frustrating loss for the Vikings because they held advantages in TDs scored, 1st downs, red zone scoring efficiency, rushing yards and time of possession, yet came away with their 4th consecutive loss.
Another solid outing from the Vikings defense kept Kansas City's offense in check for much of the afternoon. The Chiefs entered the red zone three times on the afternoon, yet never scored when threatening. K Ryan Succop was called upon to convert a career-high 5 FG attempts, and he also nailed a career-high 54-yarder along the way. The Chiefs only TD came on a 52-yard bomb from QB Matt Cassel to playmaking WR Dwayne Bowe.
The Vikings offense, meanwhile, did find the end zone twice on Donovan McNabb TD tosses to Devin Aromashodu early and Michael Jenkins late, but they were unable to outscore the Chiefs. Kansas City's #1 defensive priority was clearly to stop RB Adrian Peterson - he had 80 yards on 23 carries – but that allowed the Vikings to attack creatively in other areas, such as with Percy Harvin on end-arounds and with TE Visanthe Shiancoe through the air. Harvin had 67 rushing yards on 4 carries and Shiancoe had 6 receptions for 58 yards.
Ultimately, though, the Vikings couldn't drive for a TD late in the game and Kansas City was able to pickup a 1st down when they needed it most, allowing them to run out the clock on the Vikings defense. The Chiefs came away with the win, their first of the season. The loss for the Vikings dropped them to 0-4 on the season as they return home this week to prepare for a contest against the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday at Mall of America Field.

5 Things To Watch TonightPosted by on August 27, 2011 – 10:26 am
Tonight the Vikings will play their third preseason game of the 2011 season and it'll be against the Dallas Cowboys at Mall of America Field. First-teamers will get extended looks tonight, which is why the third game of the preseason is considered so important.
With that in mind, here are five things to watch during tonight's Vikings-Cowboys contest…
A TD from the first-team offense
The first-team offense took a big step forward last week in Seattle after a mediocre outing in Tennessee to open the preseason. Expect another step forward this week from Donovan McNabb and Co. It would ease a lot of souls – everyone from Vikings coaches to Vikings fans – if the first-team offense could find a way to move the ball and score a TD or two. To this point, McNabb has looked comfortable in the offense and he's spread the ball around to a variety of receivers. Tonight, though, watch for the running game to improve a touch and for McNabb to find a way to attack vertically.
Cedric Griffin and Anthony Herrera coming back from injury
A pair of starters are coming back from serious knee injuries this season – CB Cedric Griffin and RG Anthony Herrera. Griffin has had a nice training camp and he's looked good in the little time he's seen on the field. Tonight, though, he'll likely get his first extended action since the injury and the Vikings will be focused not only on how he performs during the game but how his knee feels after the game. With Herrera, he's slowly been brought along during training camp and tonight is the first time he'll play in a game at all since the injury. Just as is the case with Griffin, it will be as important how Herrera feels after the game as how he plays during the game. Head Coach Leslie Frazier said earlier this week that the one thing the coaches will be looking for is Herrera's explosion coming off the ball. If he can show signs of regaining that explosion and he can come away from the game with minimal soreness, then the feisty veteran will be one (major) step closer to returning to the starting lineup.
Pressure on Cowboys QB Tony Romo
One of the positives I took away from the Vikings performance last week in Seattle was the pass rush from the first-team defense. Seattle QB Tarvaris Jackson was rarely allowed time to sit in the pocket and find an open receiver, which was a large part of why the Vikings were able to shutout Seattle in the first half. Tonight the Vikings will see an offensive line that is a touch better and a QB that is much better. If the Vikings can still find a way to pressure the passer tonight, we know they might have something going this year in terms of pass rush after a less-than-stellar pass rush last year. I think the secondary is going to be better than most people think this year, but an effective pass rush will make the secondary look even better.
Another strong performance from Chris Cook
One of the bright spots in last week's victory over Seattle was the performance of CB Chris Cook. He was lined up against former teammate Sidney Rice for much of the first half and he held his own by frequently jamming Rice at the line of scrimmage and even being involved in a pass breakup in the endzone. If Cook can step up and perform well as the team's 3rd CB, the Vikings defense will be stronger. With Cook in the lineup, the Vikings nickel package features two big, physical CBs (Cook and Griffin) on the outside and then Antoine Winfield sliding inside to play the slot receiver. That's the lineup Frazier prefers to see out there and if Cook plays well tonight, that vision comes one step closer to being realized.
Competition at WR
One of the position battles still raging is at WR, where the top 3 are set (Bernard Berrian, Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins) but the next two or three are still open. I'm not sure if the Vikings will keep five or six WRs, but either way there are jobs still available. We won't count anyone out, but the guys I'll be watching tonight are Devin Aromashodu, Greg Camarillo, Juaquin Iglesias and Jaymar Johnson. The next tier of guys are Manny Arceneaux, Stephen Burton and Andre Holmes. Aside from performance in the offense, another factor in determining which players will earn roster spots is special teams. Johnson can increase his value by proving effective in the punt return game, while Aromashodu has increased his value by making a pair of special teams tackles.

Frazier Sees Progress, But Also Knows Work Remains; Practice NotesPosted by on August 22, 2011 – 2:23 pm
After a day off on Sunday following their preseason victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night, the Vikings returned to the practice fields at Winter Park on Monday for an abbreviated workout. The Vikings conducted what they call a 10-10-10 practice, which lasted for approximately an hour.
Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier met with reporters after practice and said that after watching the tape from Saturday night's win over Seattle he saw his team was making progress. But he also acknowledged there is still work to be done before the team is prepared to open the regular season on September 11 in San Diego.
"There were some good things that we really felt good about," Frazier said. "There was some improvement in some key areas, really across the board. But there's also a lot of work to be done, we realize that. That's one of the reasons we're in the preseason, to try to improve and identify what we are going to be as a football team."
Monday's practice saw the return of a few key offensive players, with TE Visanthe Shiancoe and WRs Greg Camarillo and Percy Harvin back in the action. Frazier seemed please with his team's effort in practice on Monday and said the team is poised for another solid week of practice leading up to Saturday night's contest with the Dallas Cowboys at Mall of America Field.
"Really appreciative of the effort that our guys displayed and the desire to want to be good," Frazier said. "Today's practice we wanted to make sure they were focused, they were in tune with what we were trying to get done, and that was the case so it was a good way start to the week."
Here are a few notes from Monday's practice and Frazier's press conference…
– The Vikings practiced in helmets, shells and shorts on Monday in warm temperatures and under a sunny sky. They worked on both kickoff and punt return and also had a period of no-huddle offense/defense against the 40-second play clock.
– Devin Aromashodu and Harvin logged highlight-caliber catches during practice. Harvin ran a corner route and hauled in a long pass before falling to the ground and out of bounds with Antoine Winfield covering him like a blanket. Aromashodu's catch came on a quick out route in which spun out of his break, briefly lost his footing, regained his footing and turned to look for the football just as it arrived. Aromashodu is climbing up the depth chart in a crowded WR stable and is doing so in large part because of his ability to contribute on special teams.
– LB Erin Henderson, who is still the favorite to win a starting outside LB position, intercepted a pass from Donovan McNabb. But McNabb turned around and hit WR Bernard Berrian on the next play and then found WR Michael Jenkins deep down the field just a few plays later.
– Among those who did not practice today were RB Toby Gerhart (ankle), LB Ross Homan (concussion) and LB Mark Washington (stinger). LB Heath Farwell, who missed much of last week's practice, was back on the field. Frazier Homan will not play in this weekend's game against the Cowboys.
– Frazier said he was unsure if starting RG Anthony Herrera would make his preseason debut this weekend and he also said that Ryan Cook would be the likely replacement if Herrera was unable to go.
– In what will hopefully be a minor issue but could turn into a major one, DT Kevin Williams was held out of practice today because of a foot injury that's been bothering him since training camp. Frazier said Williams was having trouble pushing off on the foot during last Saturday's game. Williams will see a foot specialist today and Frazier said the team could hear the results from those tests as early as tomorrow. Also, Frazier said he hasn't heard a word from the NFL regarding Williams' possible four-game suspension.

Vikings Special Teams Give Strong ShowingPosted by on August 15, 2011 – 7:11 am
It's generally not something you find football fans talking about, but it's a vital part of every team and it's an important factor in every game. We're talking about special teams. And this preseason for the Vikings, it's an especially important group to watch because there's a new special teams coordinator in town with Mike Priefer aboard.
After one preseason game, it's so far, so good for Priefer's special teams groups. In what was mostly an uninspiring performance from the Vikings on Saturday night in Tennessee, the special teams groups looked strong. Let's take a moment to point out a few of the strongpoints…
– P Chris Kluwe had a nice night, booming five punts and generating an average of 41.6 yards per punt and 39.4 net yards per punt; a net average of 39.4 yards would've ranked Kluwe 4th among all punters last year. Also, Kluwe put two of his five punts inside the 20-yardline and only three of his punts were returned.
– The Vikings punt coverage unit performed well in unison with Kluwe, allowing just 3.7 yards per return on three attempts.
– On kickoff returns, the Vikings averaged 26.0 yards per try, which would've ranked them 2nd in the NFL last year. In kickoff return coverage, the Vikings allowed just 19.0 yards per return, which also would've ranked them 2nd best in the NFL last year.
– Give credit to the group of Kluwe, K Ryan Longwell and long snapper Cullen Loeffler because they didn't have a botched snap, hold or kick all night. Longwell was true from 37 yards out to give the Vikings their only points.
– WR Jaymar Johnson, who is trying to earn a spot on the WR depth chart, certainly helped his cause by performing on special teams. He returned a punt 40 yards in the second half, displaying a quick burst and then excellent top-end speed on the play. Another WR – Devin Aromashodu – who is also trying to win a spot on the WR depth chart helped himself on special teams as well by notching a tackle.
– Others who chipped in with special teams tackles were LB Larry Dean, S Eric Frampton and LB Heath Farwell.

Vikings Make Several Roster Moves OfficialPosted by on July 31, 2011 – 12:15 pm
On the same day that Vikings players and coaches will check in to 2011 Verizon Vikings Training Camp on the campus of Minnesota State University, Mankato, the team also made official several roster moves. We'll break them down for you right here, but we'll also post the full press release this afternoon on the home page of vikings.com.
The Vikings signed a pair of veteran WRs to shore up that position, bringing aboard Devin Aromashodu and Michael Jenkins. Aromashodu, who is 6-2, 201 pounds, was most recently with the Chicago Bears – you'll remember he had a huge game and the game-winning catch against the Vikings in overtime during the 2009 season – and he possesses a combination of speed and toughness. Jenkins comes from Atlanta, where he was coached by George Stewart for two seasons before Stewart joined the Vikings and where he was with current Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave for several seasons. Jenkins knows the Vikings offense inside and out and he provides Donovan McNabb a big target because he measures in at 6-4, 217 pounds.
The team reached agreement with five of its own free agents, re-signing the following: S Husain Abdullah, DT Fred Evans, S Eric Frampton, LB Erin Henderson and K Ryan Longwell.
Lastly, the Vikings signed their entire 2011 draft class, including first-round pick QB Christian Ponder.

Throughout, Joe Swanberg connects Generation Y's fetish for past pop-cultural kitsch to its attending sexual insecurities.
Like countless Swanberg films (the prolific director has completed 17 features in less than a decade), 24 Exposures is populated by characters who are defined not by their actions, but by their unwillingness to act. The difference here is the presence of an exterior force—the murders—that makes Swanberg's naturalistic style seem affected.
This latest, a thriller about a photographer who might be a killer, is wild pop fly that disappears in the stands.
Swanberg has made an inspiring career out of rejecting the aesthetic crimes of Hollywood. It's dispiriting, then, that he so doggedly indulges in its tradition of male gazing.
24 Exposures plays like an exercise. With a thin plot — the usual parade of possible killers — it falls to the actors to provide zing.
The result isn't fresh and realistic, though; it's clumsy and stilted. Improvised dialogue can work wonderfully if the actors have a solid feel for their characters, but everyone here seems rushed and uncomfortable.

A bride is wanting me to design a wedding cake inspired by the lace scrolls on the attached picture. Any idea where to find the scroll cutters or molds? I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find anything similar. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!
Cake Central Top Picks
there's not too many--i would cut out those shapes and use both ends of the ball tool to curl the edges up like that- the small ball for the skinny more linear scrolls--the big end for the larger end pieces-if you practice a bit you can get there--then just make the flowers out of a flower cutter and small blossoms linked together--i would make it up--
there's probably cutters out there but i mean how often you gonna really use 'em? and they cost a fortune--
pretty cake
or you could even over pipe the edges to get the texture/depth there--maybe brush the piping to make it look seamless

I have a set of metal scroll cutters, then I would place them between a doublesided lace mold and press in a design. I have used the Gem Cutter Scrolls and loved them. They impress a design in each. The only thing I would add is to lightly apply a coat of Crisco to the surface of the paste you're about to cut and it will come right out of the cutter/mold.


text: I have read about half of the comments and so far it appears that all but one person commenting has completely missed the point about the comment made about Ann Romney. I think the cartoon is funny, but that is neither here nor there. It is not anyone's business whether or not she worked. Families should be off limits in.a campaign. If you want to talk about the candidate, fine. But keep family members out of your comments. I think there is an awful lot of jealousy out there. If Romney is elected, she won't be running the country, he will......spend your time slamming him, but not his family. If you think Obama is so great, tout him. And when you do, think about what Margaret Thatcher said, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money". Think about it!

Review this game
Nov 11, 2014Now beating a dead horse until his bones are reduced to sand particles, the Sonic team attempted to clone Super Mario Galaxy...without the fun.
If we had to quickly mention the good points of the game, it'd be the artistic design of the environment, and some of the power ups that are a bit interesting to use.
The bad points? Well, everything else. The controls aren't very intuitive or make much sense sometimes, half the power ups are not fun to use, the level design in the non straight-forward levels is an utter mess, the gameplay just doesn't go accordingly to Sonic (tight platforming with a character who's supposed to run at tremendous speed, anyone else sees the problem?), and overall just not fun at all.
In short : Sonic Team once again made a game that was not fit for their mascot and ridiculed him further again. They keep trying too hard on originality, but that just didn't work. I barely recommend to even glance at this game in the game stores.… Expand
Aug 1, 2014I heard this game back at of Spring 2013, I went to my mind and said "Wow, this is not a creative Sonic title".
I give it, 5 - 10 for chucky graphics and awkward cutscenes.
Jun 11, 2014This is a port of Sonic '06 for Wii U, It is, For starters, You call this HD? SA2B Looks better than this! Secondly while it is possible to pull off insane speeds it is way too hard and it is nowhere near the speeds Sonic has reached on other platforms, The game has great mechanics with the free running and around enough ideas to fill 10.2 levels, The game has a major bug where the homing attack sometimes refuses to work which is a huge problem with the last 3 bosses,
The only redeeming features is the LOZ DLC, which is what this game could of been, Fun. and the multiplayer, its a 1v1 race to the finish line, So if you hate someone who is a sonic fan you can play this with them.
I always hear how "Sonic is dead" But i just imagine each bad game just giving him a injury which will eventually kill him, Sonic '06 Broke his left leg, the Sonic games on the Wii chopped off said leg, Shadow the hedgehog and Sonic Unleashed broke his arms, And Sonic Lost World chopped off his right leg, leaving him a quadruple amputee, And that new fangled Sonic Boom thing will just get it over with and shoot him already.… Expand
Jun 9, 2014So this usless peice of **** video game i dont know where to get started. Matter of fact ill only say one thing. If you want to be sent to a mental hospital this game is for you. Just in case you was wondering what that would be like play outlast in real life
Jan 26, 2014HOW can anyone give this game a 10 review? I mean were we playing the same game? The execution of the game design is HORRIBLE! I mean simple things are just over complicated. This Mario Galaxy clone has beautiful graphics but it doesn't matter if the game is so stupidly designed. It's not a hard game because it's challenging it's hard because of the poor game design. Another **** Sonic game.
Jan 17, 2014A cobbled together confusing mess of ideas that are not properly explained nor executed. What seemed like interesting concepts are much more stripped down and streamlined than they first appeared and the world is left empty and easy to zip past without thinking; never before has Sonic "played itself" so much, which makes it all the more confounding when you are forced to use the game's failed "parkour" system.… Expand
Nov 11, 2013This hardly deserves to be a Sonic game at all. In Sonic Lost World, Sonic Team discards many of the things that have made previous titles great, such as the smooth and fluid boost-based gameplay as well as the gorgeous visuals. Replacing these elements are things like slow, jittery controls, awful level design, a hideous art style, and practically nonexistent physics. In addition, the music, villain designs, and attempts at lighthearted "humor" in the cutscenes are downright cringe-worthy. Overall, the whole game seems broken and unfinished, as if it were developed on a very tight budget. I would not recommend this to anyone.… Expand
Nov 6, 2013I felt compelled to vent my frustration about this game.
Poor visuals, broken controls and the multi player mode is a joke.
There is a never a feeling of speed which I would have expected from a Sonic game.
Like most games nowadays I feel as the end user I am the expected to be the beta tester.
Paid £40 and lost £20 on the trade in as there is no comeback for shoddy games.
Nov 5, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is not a Super Mario Galaxy Rip-Off, its Graphics are good, the music is good, and the gameplay has been shown to be fun... but the characters, voices, and terrible plot makes it too painful and unlike Sonic.
Amy sounds like a certain female Disney Mouse, and does not match her appearance, almost everything Sonic says involves "WOMP WOMP WOOOOOOMP" or is a "Zing' worthy of the Picard Facepalm. Tails sounds forced with everything he says, though I do not think he's voiced terribly.
Eggman's voice is great as always, and even the Deadly Six's voices seem fine, but the lip-movement with almost everyone seems off.
Having every single one of the Deadly Six being a stereotype of some sort be it
~Old people
~... Fat
The only one who doesn't seem like a stereotype is Zavok, but that isn't saying much. He doesn't sound like a villain, and while they all look... odd, they look more like villains for Yo Gabba Gabba.
When I see Miss Green going "Call me" after Sonic beats her up, I just say "What?!"
Also, they try to put in some... tension? Character development? One of those, maybe both. Eggman warming up to Sonic, and Tails doubting Sonic and his friendship out of nowhere, is just dumb.
But then I remembered... this isn't the Sonic I'm used to. This isn't Ryan or Jason, this is Roger, while he's great at Ezio and Batman, Sonic he is not.
Everything involving moral... lessons(?) is something you'd see pop up in a kid's show, and I mean REALLY little kids, five years maybe. I cannot play this game thinking "Yeah I can relate to this, my intelligence didn't drop." and if someone sees me watching the cutscenes, or even playing to game's corny-kiddy-looking-levels, I'll be embarrassed.
The gameplay, again, is great from what I've heard, but the boss fights are terrible, synches with no challenge whatsoever.
The graphics, while I did praise them before, look the best on the characters, and only the characters. T he backgrounds in cutscenes look passable, but nothing special. That isn't to say they look grainy or pixelated, but simply extremely simple or plain.
I am a dedicated Sonic fan, and I will not abandon the franchise, nor do I think it's dead... but I have yet to enjoy a Sonic game to the fullest ever since the Comic Penders issues, and the game's... voice-changing. Honestly I think that had the voices stuck around it would not be so cringe-worthy as it is now.
I will not recommend it to anyone, but if you want to try it, I would suggest rental before purchase to see if you can handle the corny scenes.
I am extremely sorry for offending all fans of this game. If you enjoy it, that's a good thing, I'm jealous, because I keep noticing the terrible parts, and that makes it harder to notice the good.… Expand
Nov 1, 2013What funny fanboys. As usual Sega releases another mediocre sonic game. This is no surprise. What IS a surprise is that fans actually expected this to be good! Now THAT'S funny!
Now this game was very short first off. It is not worth the $50 they ask for. I beat this game in about 7 hours. The level design is good at times but most of the time it's just horrendous! Also, where is Sonics speed? Sonic platformers suck when slow! Floaty jumping make this worse the double jump and the finicky targeting system are a pain. There is no fluidity to this game!… Expand
Oct 29, 2013Look, it's Mario Galaxy 3! No doubt the weakest installment in that series. It's nice idea to give more control to players and make world more interactive, but unfortunately final result is sort of letdown. Controls are sluggish, new parkour mechanics don't add much to game, and colour powers are thrown in for sake of having them. Complex gameplay is meant to keep Sonic speeding, but in the end they just slow things down.
And it's not that speed is problem; Sonic used to be about flow and momentum. Momentum seems to be too hard concept to handle, so Sonic Team finally killed in favor of run-button. Flow however is concept that one does not simply ignore, but this games lacks the rhythm of Sonic Sonic games. Speedrunning is still possible trough the power of returning spindash, which happens to be more of an gimmicky version of boost.
Speaking of gimmicks, level design varies between somewhat fun and incredibly frustrating and/or boring. There is no flow in some levels, and many design choices come of annoying. Game tries hard, but ultimately fails to understand what made any given platforming masterpiece, not to mention sonic's best games, fun in the first place. Same goes for boss fights, which are still one weak spot of franchise
To add insult to injury, visual design is not always easy to eyes; Sonic games are known to be colourful, but putting bright colours everywhere is never good. Fortunately, happy athmosphere and catchy music makes up for it, albeit not-so-funny and not-serious-enough storyline tries hard to ruin it. Worst thing is that story, just like game, tries to have depth, but in the end becomes less deep than most games that aren't trying.
Having lack of polish here, and trying too hard there, Lost World is mixed pack of some nice concepts and some lackluster results.Game isn't terrible, and shows that developer Sonic Team has learned something, but learning something today doesn't help much if you forget what you knew yesteryear. There was no need to break things that didn't need fixing, and there is no need for reinvention if you already have something that works. And there is no shame being different than all-around popular Nintendo.… Expand
Dec 11, 2013Sonic Lost World has its problems. The controls are imprecise and the difficulty somewhat uneven. But it is still one of the better Sonic games in later years with some great level design. It is not the best platform game out there but well worth a closer look.
Nov 18, 2013Sonic is no longer a good or even passable video game character.

Posts tagged: Pig Out
In retrospect, it's kind of a miracle that the Zombies didn't fade into obscurity after their 1960s heyday. They were one of the seminal groups of the British Invasion, they were responsible for two of the era's defining singles – "She's Not There" and "Tell Her No" – and they played shows with everyone from the Beach Boys to the Shangri-Las. "It was a really exciting time for us," the Zombies' lead singer Colin Blunstone recalled during a recent phone interview. "When we recorded 'She's Not There,' I was 18, and I went from being in a local band to traveling around the world. It's what every young musician dreams of." But after three years of incessant touring and recording an ambitious album called "Odessey and Oracle" that was released to public indifference, the band called it quits in 1968/Nathan Weinbender, SR Spokane7. More here.
Question: Which British band of the '60s that wasn't named Beatles or Rolling Stones was your favorite?
In this SR file photo, Noah Krause, 7, of Spokane, Wash., shovels in a mouthful of almond chicken during Pig Out in the Park at Riverfront Park in Spokane.
A man was so impressed by Cindy's column re: Pig Out in the Park that he called the Spokane office to say that he had clipped it out and ate it. "It was delicious," he said. Then, he admitted that he hadn't eaten the column but he had licked the newsprint. You can hear the phone recording on the link above.
Question: Have you ever had an unabashed fan?
I'm not a crowd person. I've never done Bloomsday. I avoid the interstate fair, and I've attended Hoopfest only once – and that was just to support my son. But there is one highly peopled annual event I never miss. That's right. I'm a Pig Out in the Park participant. Or porker. Pig Out is a Labor Day weekend family tradition. A chance to savor strange and exotic foods like Sausage Jambalaya or Fried Pop Tarts, and hear great music from bands like The Yardbirds or Big Mumbo Blues Band. This year marked the event's 33rd anniversary. Despite complaints about its inelegant name, Pig Out in the Park remains one of Spokane's most popular festivals/Cindy Hval, SR. More here.
Question: Which Spokane events do you attend?
