Muh Drums
By JJWeatherman 7 Comments
I've wanted to write a quick blog about my new and improved Rock Band drums since I got them. Sadly, I have been delayed, until now. I finally got some decent pictures taken a little while ago so I figured now is a good time to write something.
A couple of my Christmas gifts this year were 2 awesome cymbals to go with my ION Drum Rocker. I decided to go for the Pintech cymbals after seeing David_Shek's recommendation of them on Rock Band's forums. They were a little expensive, but hey I didn't have to pay for them. I got one 10" cymbal that I use for my hi-hat and I think a 14"--maybe 12", can't remember--to be used as a ride. I had one original ION cymbal that always worked really well and is responsive so I'm using that for a crash.
The way Rock Band likes to chart though, forces the ride to be between the crash and hi-hat because of open hi-hat notes. They often chart open hi-hat notes to blue. So that prevented me from placing the Crash towards the middle of the kit and keeping the ride all of the way over on my right side due to the quick changes between yellow and blue. Anyways, all this rambling probably makes no sense so I'll just go ahead and post the pictures I have. I think this should better explain my setup:
Damn, my pads look beaten in this pic. I got them used from my friend so I'm not the culprit here. You can kind of see the angles that I have my two toms here. It's actually a little steep and I'm thinking of changing it soon but it's currently the same as it is here in the pic. Moving on:
This is obviously my pedal. It's pretty good, a lot better than the other one you can see there in the background. That ION stock pedal is actually pretty crappy. It holds up well I guess. Anyways this new pedal is just as easily pressed as the stock ION pedal without all the noise and sticking. There does seem to be a different timing to this pedal though that I had to get used to. Once I did though, all is well in Rock Band Land. Continuing:
If you have never tried playing Rock Band drums with headphones, I couldn't recommend it more. There are some drawbacks such as not being able to wear a mic while online and not being able to hear friends you may be playing with. But at the end of the day the experience is so much better in my opinion given the right conditions. By the way these are Sennheiser EH-250's. Not the best noise canceling but they are closed back and have great bass. They are also light weight which is great. They get the job done nicely.
Well I think that's all I have to say. I want to go out with a bonus picture though... of muh kitty cat.
Enjoy, ya jive turkeys!

Next month there is a gun show in my area, and I want to get a .45 for CCW. With a budget of $300.00-400.00 my initial choices are a
Taurus PT745 or Bersa Thunder 45. I would appreciate any suggestions and comments if you have experience with these two models. Also if there are any other .45's that fit the CCW criteria and are in my price range, please let me know. So far these are the only ones I've found.
Thanks and happy packing!

Chip Kelly caught in QB crosscurrents
October, 7, 2013
Phil Sheridan | ESPN.com
AP Photo/Kathy WillensChip Kelly's Eagles find themselves atop the division and in a position to make a run for the playoffs.
The crosscurrents are powerful for the Philadelphia Eagles right now. It is going to be fascinating to see where they carry coach Chip Kelly and his team.
Watching the Sunday night football recap shows, it was striking just how upset Michael Vick appeared to be after he left Sunday's win against the Giants. Vick sat on the bench, his head in his hands. He looked more like a man whose career was in jeopardy than a man with a slight hamstring pull.
And no wonder. Vick is acutely aware of the perception that he is injury-prone. He spent the summer boldly proclaiming that his mission was to play all 16 games for the first time since 2006 and for just the second time in his career. So to pull up lame on a routine run around left end had to sting more than his hamstring.
This is not just a matter of pride. Vick is 33. His contract expires at the end of this season. Coming off a three-game losing streak, there was already speculation that his time might soon be up. The added doubt about his durability was the last thing Vick needed Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos defeated the Dallas Cowboys in a vulgar offensive display later on Sunday. When Matt Prater's field goal cleared the uprights, the Eagles moved into a tie for first-place in the NFC East.
[+] Enlarge
Robert Deutsch/USA TODAY SportsNick Foles stepped in for an injured Michael Vick and finished the win with 16 completions, 197 yards and two touchdowns.
It is a nuanced issue, which brings Vick back into the conversation. If Kelly and GM Howie Roseman had drafted Geno Smith or EJ Manuel in the spring, then this season would be all about developing a young franchise quarterback. But choosing to go with Vick, surrounded by in-their-prime players like LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson and an established offensive line, meant trying to win now.
So it was Kelly who set the bar at competitive respectability. And the lack of a breakout team in the NFC East ensures that the bar does not need to be all that high. In short, there is an opportunity for this Eagles team, with its veteran starting quarterback, to go to the playoffs this season.
So the crosscurrents are strong. Vick is playing for some kind of NFL future, here or elsewhere. Kelly is either trying to win right away or build a foundation with a winning attitude or simply get through this first season so he can draft his true franchise quarterback next May. It is impossible to know Kelly's true intentions. It may well be that he is not sure himself, that he figured he'd take a shot with Vick, get a feel for the NFL winds and then adjust his sails accordingly.
And then there is Foles. Is he a viable starter in the NFL? He looked like one Sunday at the Meadowlands. Remember, he did not prepare in practice all week to be the starter. Vick did, and he failed to complete a pass in the first quarter. Vick's biggest pass play, a bomb to Jackson, should have been intercepted by Giants cornerback Trumaine McBride.
For the previous two weeks, the Eagles piled up rushing yards without putting up a lot of points. That was the track they were on in the first half. Vick ran for 79 yards. The Eagles had 16 points. Then Foles came in and started throwing the ball more effectively. The rushing yards went way down, but there were two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to put the game away.
It seems abundantly clear that Vick will not be the quarterback here if and when Kelly's team is ready to contend for a Super Bowl. It seems unlikely that Foles will be the guy then, either, but at least there is a chance.
Sticking with Vick means treading water.
Going with Foles means letting the Vick era drift to an anticlimactic end.
There is a bumper crop of quarterbacks in the 2014 draft, if you are drafting high enough to get one. There is a playoff berth awaiting the NFC East team that sinks most slowly to the bottom.
The crosscurrents are strong. We'll learn a lot about Kelly by how he chooses to navigate them.

Zeds Dead Will Blow Your Brains Out With Bass at the Fillmore Miami Beach September 2
Categories: Heads Up
He's dead. His brains got blown out by bass. And two Toronto dubsteppers named DC and Hooks pulled the trigger.
Coming together in 2009, after an earlier collaborative project called Mass Productions went kaput, the Zeds Dead dudes have been stretching the limits of dubstep for almost three years now.
They started by launching a weekly destruction session named BassMentality alongside fellow low-end assassins Killabits. Then they made essential underground connects with dubstep scene heavies like Nero, Skrillex, 12th Planet, Borgore, Mary Anne Hobbs, Plastician, and Netsky. And now, like a couple of natural-born club killers with an incurably bad case of beatlust, DC and Hooks stalk their way from city to city seeking out fresh prey.
And thanks to all this rabid touring, they've started to become internationally known perpetrators of unconscionable dance-floor violence, dropping dirty wobble, hacking it up with hammer fists, hitting the filthiest frequencies, dragging the BPMs down to a slo-mo grind, and then ratcheting it back to brutal superspeed.
So now you've been warned: Zed is dead. And you could be next.
Zeds Dead. Friday, September 2. Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. The brutal bass begins at 9 p.m. and tickets cost $20 plus fees via livenation.com. All ages. Call 305-673-7300 or visit fillmoremb.com.

Soon, Outer Delhi may grow vertically
However, small land owners and farmers have a different view. They say that if the ceiling becomes high then only bigger players would benefit who have bought land in the anticipation of government's such policy. "There are still many farmers who have half-an-acre to 2-3 acres. There should be a single window clearance system for giving approval for cooperative or group housing by the land owners themselves. Easy loans should be made available. If we don't have such option then these land owners will be forced to sell their properties. The best situation is when land owners become developers," said Delhi Gramin Samaj secretary general Colonel Devender Shehrawat.
What's in the store
* Condominiums/ highrises of 15-17 floors
* Potential Areas for development: Outer Delhi villages - Dhichaon Kalan, Chhawla, Baprola, Kangan Hedi etc. Parts of south Delhi close to Gurgaon
* Complexes to have facility for school/ community facility
* Developers claim to have approx 20,000 acres

Tonight Channel 7 - Boston new had a breaking news story that 13 NBA refs were involved in the Gambling ring. Looks like Donaghy's was not the only greedy fool. This is a major blow to the NBA. I cannot find any links, but it was on the news tonight as a breaking news story.
Here is the link: Source: Gambler claims 13 referees involved in NBA betting scandal Source: Gambler claims 13 referees involved in NBA betting scandal 7News sports director Joe Amorosino is reporting the following: BOSTON -- A source tells 7Sports that the gambler at the center of the 2008 NBA betting scandal says 13 referees were involved. Jimmy "The Sheep" Battista pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transmit wagering information in connection with disgraced NBA official Tim Donaghy and served 15 months in federal prison. JIMMY THE SHEEP?
Happened multiple times in the NCAA, happened in baseball, been happening in boxing and soccer for years...just the tip of the ice burg for sports.
Has as much to do with politics as the global warming and economics threads that are constantly popping up here Then again considering the original poster your questioning of the legitimacy of it being here is no surprise
Well at least channel 7 had the integrity to add this to the bottom of the story. I'm going to need corroboration before I see these accusations as more than a ploy to sell books.
America has to hit Rock Bottom before it "comes back" There is no hope for Boxing. Look at the people we now have running Congress. Watch what happens in NYC when the Terrorist Supporters hit town for the big trial (Bush will be on trial also) Buy Me Some Peanuts And Cracker Jacks FEAR NOT HELP IS ON THE WAY
If anyone watched the 2002 Lakers vs. Kings game 6 western conference finals game 6, you will know that the NBA and its officials rigged that game.
Remember when our kids were growing up and we were told "if you want to keep them out of trouble get them involved in sports"..............:singing::singing:
If true it's the biggest sports scandal in all sports history, and also explains so much over the past 10 years.
Before that game I would have told you that you were nuts for making that accusation. After watching that game and particularly that 4th quarter, I am firmly in your corner.... YouTube - The Greatest Tragedy in Sports part 7 Watch the 9 minute video, which opens with Kobe bloodying Mike Bibby's nose with a flagrant elbow and Bibby getting called for the foul and tell me it didn't stink to high heaven.
The only problem I have with all of this is you can watch almost every NBA game and find a reason the refs were biased either way ... it's the nature of the league. As I always say ... if a game can be or will be decided by a ref then you can't really say you deserved to win anyways. I hate complaining about refs ... if you think they're biased then play harder. Professional sports are supposed to be for adults, not babies.
There are a lot of threads in this forum that are not political. Then again..... Mr Policeman, maybe you should practice what you preach. Look at this sad thread started by PressCoverage.... http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/12/284980-gosh-wheres-rev-lovejoy.html Did that crap really need a thread of it's own? If true my thread covered one of the biggest sports scandal of the past 90 years. I cannot think of a worst scandal since the blacksox scandal of 1919. Although this is a political forum, most members are sports fans.
Well, sunshine... It's not that I'm trying to "police" anything, so you can spare us all the dramatics... It's more about trying to understand your motive. Afterall, there IS an NBA forum all it's own. There is NOT a forum for missing regulars, so your parallel is rather weak.
Icy, I hear you but every once in a while there is something that just goes way beyond the pale. Every single call went against Sacramento in that 4th quarter, maybe 20 or more and some were so egregious that I rank it right after the '72 Olympic Men's basketball game as a sham. If you get screwed on one or two questionable calls, maybe it's the odds but when it's so biased that no reasonable person can conclude otherwise....you have to believe in something nefarious...Watch the video of that 4th quarter (posted earlier) and you'll see what I mean.
Seemed nasty ... I'd like to see the 4th quater unedited ... I have to find it and watch. Kind of gives me more reason to despise Shaq and Kobe. I remember pulling for the Kings in that one.
I remember one of the Bulls & Jazz playoff games that the refs did everthing under the sun to give the game to the Bulls. Stockton hit a 3 pointer and the replay showed the ball was at least 3 feet out of his hand when the 24 second clock expired. They called it a 24 second violation. On the other hand they credited Jordan for a 3 pointer when the ball was still in his hand when the 24 second clock ran out. They counted the basket. I do not remember which year, but it was before they used replay reviews. The Bulls/Jazz game was bad but, the Lakers and Sacramento game 6 was the worst officiated game I have ever seen.

I tried again, this time using the xfree86+freetype.txt hint from within my native LFS environment rather than chroot. The only deviation I made from the hint is I used XFree86-4.2.0 and the 4.2.1 diff patch instead of the older version the hint uses. I also added -fomit-frame-pointer to the hints suggested optimizations, hoping to reduce the size a bit and perhaps speed up compile some too. Once again I cannot even get past make World now. This is my third try. The first try gave the error mentioned in the original post, during the make install phase, though make World gave no errors. The second try and now this third try bomb out in make World with the following error: make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc/lib/Xrender' depending in lib/Xft... make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xc/lib/Xft' flex -l xftlex.l sed 's/yy/XftConfig/g' lex.yy.c | sed 's/__REALLY_YY__/yy/' > xftlex.c && rm -f lex.yy.c bison -y -d xftgram.y xftgram.y:168.8: parse error, unexpected ":", expecting ";" or "|" xftgram.y:169.3-6: $$ of `matrix' has no declared type make[3]: *** [xftgram.c] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc/lib/Xft' make[2]: *** [depend] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc/lib' make[1]: *** [depend] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2 Any idea what can be causing this? Could the line with 'parse error' in it indicate a typho somewhere? Or the next line about matrix having no declared type - bug in source code? I highly doubt it's either of these, since it obviously must work for most everyone else. It even worked for me on my last LFS install (the cvs version that was basically equal to the as yet unreleased LFS 4.0) Could it be something I have failed to install or installed incorrectly? So far I haven't done much past the LFS book, just the first few pages of BLFS dealing with config files and such. I do have Freetype installed though, but that's it beyond LFS. I really hope someone can help me with this, as it's keeping me in limbo here til I get it fixed. Thanks in advance folks... -- David C.

Star-a-Day: Martita Jara
by Sara Levine in Food Network Star, May 3, 2012To give you a sneak peek at the personalities of Team Alton, Team Bobby and Team Giada, we're introducing a finalist per day leading up to the bigger-than-ever Food Network Star premiere on Sunday, May 13, at 9pm/8c. Don't miss the casting special on Saturday, May 12, at 9pm/8c for a behind-the-scenes glimpse at each finalist's road to Star-dom, including footage of their final one-on-one auditions with their respective team leaders.
Today we meet Team Giada's Martita Jara, 35, an interior designer and passionate home cook who grew up in her family's Mexican restaurants in Southern California.
Fun facts about Martita from Food Network Magazine:
- Claim to fame: She grew up in a restaurant family, but she has a magic touch with interiors. Every time she designed a home for a bachelor, he has ended up married or engaged within a year.
- Dream-show concept: "Mi Tortilla," named after her family's chain of Mexican restaurants; it would feature her specialties, like chiles rellenos and sautéed nopales.
- Secret Ingredient: Chorizo. She sneaks it into everything, even lasagna.

I don't think it's fair to say that Martita shouldn't be in the running because she comes from a restaurant family. The key is it's her FAMILY's chain of restaurants, not hers. Maybe she wants to prove to herself, her family and everyone else that she can do something on her own. Granted growing up around the business certainly gives her an 'insider' knowledge and perspective that would be useful going forward, but I'm sure she has her own ideas and this could be the perfect opportunity for her to bring them to life. She hasn't been shown any favoritism thus far that I can detect, and she's had ups and downs even this early in the competition so it's not like she's a shoo-in because her family's already in the food business. That said she's camera friendly and I think it'd be great if her design talents come into play to make her stand out (as well as her food) from the other competitors and set her apart from the other Mexican/Latino/a chefs featured on FN. I don't know a lot about Mexican cuisine but I assume it's not "one size fits all"!
I think Martita has what it takes: talent, know-how, and she looks great on camera. She lost her words last night. I think she needs to use a more "Spanglish" voice and let her words come out however they may. Instead of "Mi Tortilla" her show could be "Cooking con Amor." Food, like language, is a fusion of culture. The U.S. is the 5th largest Spanish-speaking country in the world and many of us mix English and Spanish with ease. That's the way her show should be. And don't forget, Martita, echale amor a tus platos y todo saldra bien.
I love Martita's graphic print wrap dresses. Wondering if she makes them?
So sad that Martita was eliminated! All the Chefs on the show are talented, but Martita has a special warmth and sweetness that makes you want to watch her, even when she doesn't share her stories! I was really shocked when she was asked to leave.

this is my fav i have brewed so far.
Just brewed this one last night. Terrapin Rye is currently my favorite pale ale, and being that we don't get this in Arkansas, it makes things difficult. I can see this beer quickly becoming my house pale.
Quick update. I pulled my first pint tonight and have to say this is one of the best beers I've ever made. It was a tad too sweet because I accidentally put in too much honey malt, but even that does not detract at all from the beer. The hops are wonderful, the malt backbone is perfect, and it is dangerously drinkable. Highly, highly recommended.
I did a partial mash of this and it turned out great. I just did a side by side tasting, and it's damn close. Mine is still a little under carbed (only two weeks in the bottle so far), but the hops come through a lot more clearly. The rye makes for such a fresh aftertaste. I can already tell I'll be brewing this one often.
I brewed this a few months ago. It was straight by the recipe (including the water chemistry) except I used Denny's Favorite for the yeast. Possibly the best beer I've brewed in the two plus years I've been brewing. I haven't tasted the original, but I like rye ales and love APAs and IPAs, so it looked like a no brainer. It was, but I can't compare it to the original. L
Think S-05 would be fine for this one? I don't see why not but I'm curious what others think. Sounds delicious.
i'm planning on brewing this, but I have no victory or biscuit malt? can i use a little aromatic? how much? is 200g alright?

Brewed this one back in March and it turned out great. The hop character was more evident in my 10 gal. batch, but I think alot of that can be attributed to the age and storage of the six pack of the commercial example that I had. Defnitely one of the best pale ales I have made, and I must say that I am a huge fan of the American ale II strain. Repitched it to a porter and that turned out very nice as well. Too bad my LHBS only carries white labs strains.

The news came just before the start of the game. Christian Ponder was not going to be available, and the quarterback duties would fall to Joe Webb, the back-up who had not thrown a single pass all year. But the faithful did not waiver. Fans reasoned the run possibilities would force the Packers to not emphasize stopping Adrian Peterson. Even critics agreed. Tony Dungy, who had picked Green Bay to win, changed his mind upon hearing the quarterback shuffle. He thought the read-react approach to quarterback might be just the ticket.
I guess not.
As a yearlong defender of Christian Ponder, I have this desire to say "I told you so" to the thousands of fans who called for Ponder's head throughout the year. See. This is what you have been asking for all year?.. Happy?
But I am now more inclined to agree with them. Whether or not Ponder is the future, it is painfully obvious we need to improve at the QB position. I am certain if Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels had been the starter yesterday, we would have been in position to win, or at least compete.
True, Green Bay added Charles Woodson. Their defensive backs were healthier. But Woodson is worth 27 points?
We missed Ponder.
But before we lament away our January, we must reflect on what has happened. A 3-13 team has improved seven games in a season. Only the Indianapolis Colts can say better, and they had a fallen coach as a team motivator.
Adrian Peterson compiled one of the greatest single-season efforts in NFL history and is the favorite to win the MVP. We can rest assured that he has fully recovered from the ACL/MCL injury to his knee.
Blair Walsh has arrived, and Minnesota has the best place kicker in its' history.
The defensive secondary is improved. Some. Chris Cook and Josh Robinson are promising. Harrison Smith is really good.
We beat Green Bay, Houston, and San Francisco this year. We played Washington, Seattle and Indianapolis tough. All these teams are alive in the playoffs as of today.
We are not so far away.
After the pain wears away we will assess the season. Already I can see some key positions that need improving. Offensive guard, defensive secondary, linebacker, and wide receiver to start.
And, of course, quarterback.
But for right now I am down. Still on the wagon; always will be, Many will get off, but they probably jumped on last week.
Sunday morning has proven to be a tough one. The knowledge that Green Bay is the cause of our end is hard to accept. We realize the team was not ready in 2012 to go the distance, but we would have liked at least one more round.
This Sunday's game vs. the Packers will be big. The biggest game since the "Assault in New Orleans", or otherwise referred to as the NFC Championship in the 2009 season. If Minnesota wins, they will have gone from back-to-back losing seasons, including last year's 3-13 season to a 2012 10-6 record and a playoff berth. Unbelievable.
Still, Minnesotans refuse to embrace quarterback Christian Ponder. And for solid reasons. His passer rating lies in-between Michael Vick and Blaine Gabbert. He throws for under 100 yards. He had five fumbles lost and twelve interceptions. His decision-making is much maligned.
Yet here we are at 9-6.
Adrian Peterson is demonstrating how important a running game can be. Peterson's 126.5 rushing yards per game dwarfs the next closest runner by nearly 30 yards per game. AP's 6.0 yards per carry are second to only C.J. Spiller, and his due mostly to running against prevent defenses, as opposed to 8 or 9 in the "box". Adrian's 2012 season ranks 8th all-time for rushing yards in a season, with Earl Campbell only 36 yards away, and O.J. Simpson's 2,003 yard performance a mere 105. Peterson's season ranks 79th all-time in all purpose yards, and if he can manage to set a single-season record by rushing for 208 yards vs. Green Bay, will finish in the top 30 all-time. He is 2nd in the league in rushing TDs. 2nd in attempts. And he has only lost two fumbles.
The defense is anchored by more than just Jared Allen and Chad Greenway in 2012. Brian Robison and Everson Griffen have been impressive, combining for 12.5 sacks. Kevin Williams, along with Fred Evans and Letroy Guion, have kept the middle solid throughout the season. Jasper Brinkley is starting to dominate at the middle linebacker. Harrison Smith and Antoine Winfield pound would be runners and receivers, and the cornerbacks have been better than any in recent memory. A total team defense.
Even Blair Walsh deserves credit. All he has done is set team and NFL records with nine consecutive field goals of 50+ yards. He is 32 of 35 on the year in field goal attempts. His kick-offs are pinning opponents deeper than in years past. He could very likely be an All-Pro is 2012.
And then there is Ponder.
Ponder lost favor by mid-season. Whether it was Bill Musgrave tightening the reins, or a lack of good decision-making, Christian stunk up the place for a while. And Minnesota lost games they had opportunities to win. Certainly the Washington loss, the Green Bay loss, and a few others drew pointed fingers at Ponder.
Despite a good game yesterday, most still feel he is not the quarterback of the future, and will be the demise of 2012. These fans want Minnesota to draft another quarterback next year, and open the door to potential free agent QBs or others out of favor with present teams. The list includes: Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez, Alex Smith, Philip Rivers, and more. Even Tarvaris Jackson would be an upgrade in the more pessimistic fan's eye.
But let's look at a few past drafts before we come to judgment...
2012 NFL Draft included a slew of apparent strong quarterbacks. Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin headline a strong class. But would it surprise you to know that Luck's present passer rating is below Ponder? And other than the top two draft picks overall, only Russell Wilson (75th pick) is looking good. Miami's Tannehill (8th) and Cleveland's Weeden (22nd) have had mixed reviews.
The 2011 NFL Draft saw four quarterbacks chosen in the top twelve, six in the top thirty-six picks. Cam Newton, first overall, has been impressive. Jake Locker (8th) less so. Blaine Gabbert (10th) a disappointment. After Ponder, Andy Dalton was chosen 35th and Colin Kaepernick 36th. Both look better than Ponder to date.
In 2010, five QBs were draft in the first four rounds. The top pick was Sam Bradford, chosen 1st overall. Next was Tim Tebow, who went with the 25th pick. The remaining QBs include Jimmy Clausen, Colt McCoy, and some guy named Kafka. Only Bradford holds hope for a solid future.
In 2009 only three QBs are of note still today. Matthew Stafford, first overall, has been great and terrible. Mark Sanchez, fifth overall, is now washed up after his fourth season. And Josh Freeman (17th) continues to struggle with Tampa Bay. In this their fourth year, this class has taken a mighty step back.
2008 had of note Matt Ryan (3rd) and Joe Flacco (18th) and maybe Chad Henne (57th). Flacco has his detractors while Matt Ryan has proved himself year after year. The rest? Nothing.
So go ahead and hate on Ponder. Wish for another quarterback to take over. You may end up right, Christian might not be that good. But do not forget, Minnesota will not have a top ten pick. Probably not a top twenty. That means talent like Griffin, Luck, Newton, etc.. will not be available. We will have to find a Russell Wilson, or a Colin Kaepernick. In the meantime, most fans understand we still need to improve at other positions, such as wide receiver or offensive guard.
In the meantime, I will support Ponder as he beats Green Bay (along with AP and the defense), and brings us back to the playoffs in 2012.
Onward Christian Ponder. I will march off to war with you.
When one talks playoff droughts in Minnesota, only the oldest of fans can give a knowing nod. The 1960s was home to the beginning of the expansion franchise, and those first seven years. It was the Norm Van Brocklin years, the coach for the first six fledgling years. Van Brocklin went 29-51-4 with the 1964 season (8-5-1) our only winning year. Bud Grant was pursued and accepted the position in time for the 1967 season. Grant went 3-8-3 that year, before the Vikings' winning ways would begin.
The Vikings' first division title (1968) would precede a run of ten playoff visits in eleven years. Four Super Bowl visits. An NFL Championship. Three NFC championships. Ten division titles. Numerous individual awards, most notably Alan Page's MVP award in 1971. Fran Tarkenton was traded for valuable draft choices by Minnesota in 1968 and then re-acquired in 1972. After a missed playoff, Tarkenton led a run of three Super Bowl visits in four years (1973, 1974, 1976) interrupted by the Hail Mary loss to the Cowboys.
We thought the good times would never end.
The first time since expansion that Minnesota ever missed the play-offs for more than one consecutive season after the expansion years was the drought of 1983-1986. Minnesota finished playing at the Met (1981) and made the playoffs in a strike-shortened 1982 season. Grant started 7-2 in 1983, but finished and retired with an 8-8 season. Les Steckel followed it what is known as the worst of years with Pecos River and a 3-13 mark. Grant was then reinstated and went 7-9 before retiring again, a la Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan. Jerry Burns was then hired and went 9-7 but missed the playoffs. That winning season signaled the end to the losing way of 1983-86.
Jerry Burns led Minnesota through its' second drought in 1990-91. It was a year after the blockbuster trade that sent the Vikings' future off to Dallas for Herschel Waker. After Minnesota surprised the NFL in 1987 with its' run to the NFC Championship despite suffering an 0-3 beginning with replacement players, the Viking brass felt they were one player away from a Super Bowl win. Boy, were they wrong. Walker was released in 1991 and Jerry Burns quit. Minnesota returned to their winning way.
The Vikings made the playoffs eight of the next nine seasons. When present day Packers and Bears fans make fun of the present day Vikings, the older Vikings' fan can smile. They remember stretches like this one and the 1970s. In 1998, Minnesota amassed one of the greatest offenses in all of NFL history. Rookie Randy Moss, Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter and more. The loss at home to the Falcons by a missed short kick may be the single greatest disappointment in Minnesota history. The 15-1 team would probably be voted Most Likely to Win the Super Bowl in a Do Over, though fans of 2009, 1975, or 1969 may disagree.
Minnesota won playoff games in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000. They were not just making the playoffs, they were knocking on the championship door. And then that is when the weather changed. Minnesota has only made the playoffs three of the last eleven seasons. The 2004 team backed in at 8-8 (but upset the Packers in Lambeau so they are revered). In 2008, Minnesota made a run with Gus Frerotte and Tarvaris Jackson at the helm. In 2009, Minnesota famously added Brett Favre and made a serious bid for their first Super Bowl, only to be beaten (literally) by a very aggressive Saints team.
A pair of three year droughts ensued in 2001. We will call this the 2000s Famine.
First, the 2001-03 drought where Minnesota went 20-28. The successful but turbulent Denny Green was let go for Mike Tice at the end of the 2001 season. Tice had a good thing going in 2003, starting 6-0, only to finish with a 9-7 record and missing the playoffs after a last-second Cardinals loss.
Minnesota started 5-1 the next year, only to fall to 8-8 by season's end. The victory over Green Bay kept his job for another year, but eventually Tice would be replaced by Brad Childress.
The drought of 2005-07 was one of mediocrity. The Vikings actually had only one losing season (2006, 6-10) and went 23-25 over the three years. In 2007, Minnesota drafted Adrian Peterson and that seemed to change their fortune. Peterson's 296 yard game in his rookie season typified the type of rain to change a landscape.
Minnesota was decent in 2008, going 11-5 and winning their first division title since 2000. And then there was the addition of Favre, and as any fan who is of reading-age knows, the 2009 season. But the 2009 team was not one of longevity. The holes began to appear. Players left or were injured. A great team disassembled rapidly. Brad Childress would be replaced by Leslie Frazier after a 3-7 start to the 2010 season, one filled with false promise.
Our present drought 2010- is at the two year mark. We are 9-23 in that time, making this the barest drought of all time, including the expansion years. Many feel we are in rebuilding mode and will not see the playoffs for a time. Others remain optimistic that this drought will be no longer than other recent ones.
Many good signs are appearing. A rejuvenated Adrian Peterson. A defensive end that is capable of having season's like Alan Page, Chris Doleman or Keith Millard. Again. A sharpening of the skills of young Christian Ponder. The explosiveness of players like Percy Harvin and Jerome Simpson. The addition of an offensive tackle (Matt Kalil) with hopes of a Ron Yary or Gary Zimmerman type future. Good signs.
But drought is tough to cure. Usually when it is dry in one region (ours) it is fertile somewhere else (the rest of the division). It will take good farming but maybe an added dose of hardship elsewhere. Not to wish ill on my rival teams, but maybe a plight of some kind. Like turnovers from your star player. Or missed field goals.
Because I do expect it to rain soon. And the promised land still waits for us all.
Glory and Skol.
Thanksgiving is the football holiday. This Thanksgiving there will be thirty-some at my house. And it will be good. I have been committed to watching the NFL on Thanksgiving since I was quite young. One of the reasons we took over the holiday within our extended family was so that we could enjoy the games without guilt.
And we have. Pass the pie.
This year is another where my Viking hopes have been dashed like a tournament team in the first round. I am of the 70s era, where Minnesota controlled the NFC, let alone the division. I witnessed five years of NEVER losing to the Packers. NFC championships were a common place; division championships expected.
But the 2010s decade has not been good. Year Two with Brett Favre a disaster. This year's transition from Donovan McNabb to Christian Ponder costly. At 2-8 there is little hope... unless you live and breathe Vikings. If that is the case, even year's like this one are dramatic. And there is much to be thankful for this year...
Like the decision to get rid of Bryant McKinnie. It was a bold statement to the team and the league. Leslie Frazier was here to set things right, and coming to camp out of shape worthy of expulsion. Sadly, I see McKinnie nearly every week playing decent tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. Right next to Matt Birk.
Or the jettisoning of Tarvaris Jackson and Sidney Rice to stupid Seattle. How could any team possibly think these two would be worth multi-million long term deals? Big money was saved. Yes, the 4-6 Seahawks look downright ridiculous compared to our 2-8 squad.
Thankful we took the time this off-season to bring in Donovan McNabb. The two year deal looks to be a stipend for mentoring a rookie. Master McNabb demonstrated early that on any given Sunday a team can beat another... for a half.
Or the battle between Owner Wilf, the politicians, and others as to whether the Vikings will play in Minneapolis, Arden Hills, or another state. But with the tailgating locations provided by the Metrodome, they could play in Los Angeles and there might still be $40 car spots taken as if nothing ever changed. In the 70s we partied right outside Met Stadium before the game. In the Metrodome we pour in through traffic similar to Occupy Minnesota.
Oh, I am thankful.
But there really are things to be thankful for at 2-8. Like the fact that only one team (the 0-10 Indianapolis Colts) has a worse record. That puts us in a three way tie for the second draft selection with the Carolina Panthers and the St. Louis Rams. And with only four teams at 3-7 it is a safe bet that we will have a high draft selection like the Adrian Peterson year. The 2012 NFL Draft should be a chance to remedy a two year ailment that won't go away anytime soon.
You see, once the playoffs are dead, hoping for a good draft pick becomes a way to compensate for a lost season. I still am overjoyed with a win, but I also concede that there is a benefit to playing a rookie or inexperienced quarterback beyond experience. Ask the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7), the Miami Dolphins (3-7), the Washington Redskins (3-7), Rams, or the Panthers. Or the winless Colts. Raw QBs make mistakes. Eh, Christian?
And as a Minnesota fan I can quickly reference the Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA. No team in Minnesota history has done more to familiarize me with the draft process. No other sport have I spent so much time researching top draft picks. And years and years of failures chasing that number one pick have been more entertaining than the few years with Kevin What's-his-Name.
Well... I am thankful that the Vikings have been in better hands than the Wolves.
We still are, right?
The present mood among the Vikings and their faithful is sour. A poor start due to second half failures has placed Minnesota in a position of rebuilding before the season's seventh game. Leslie Frazier has given up on the 34 year-old Donovan McNabb despite a decent performance in the most recent loss. Christian Ponder will be asked to perform as he did in last week's mop-up role. He looked good in a meaningless minutes of the Vikings' 39-10 loss to the Bears.
It makes sense in that the chances of making the playoffs disappeared with close losses to the Chargers, Lions, Chiefs, and Bucs, not to mention the blowout by the Bears, to start the season. A rebuild would begin with the first round pick Christian Ponder. Chosen 12th overall, he is the second highest quarterback ever drafted by Minnesota. Only Daunte Culpepper was chosen higher, he being with the 11th pick in 1999.
Culpepper's first year was very different. He played in only one game, and never threw a pass. However, he would go on to start all sixteen games the next year (2000), winning eleven, and threw for nearly 4,000 yards and a quarterback rating of 98.0. The extra year to learn appeared to be good to Culpepper. But Culpepper never panned out. He had big numbers early in his career with the Vikings, but finished 38-42 overall and a mere 2-2 in the playoffs.
Tommy Kramer was chosen with the 27th pick in the first round of the 1977 draft. In his first season he started only a single game (lost) and appeared in six total. His rating was 77.0 with 5 touchdowns and 4 interceptions thrown. He became the full-time starter in 1979, with a first year record of 7-9. He would finish 54-56 with the Vikings, 159/158 TD/INT, and 2-3 in the playoffs. Kramer ended up being known for off the field exploits more than his efforts on the field.
Fran Tarkenton was chosen in the third round with the 29th pick in 1961. He, like Ponder, was asked to take over early in the season. Tarkenton would go 2-8 in his first season with a rating of 74.7 (not very good). Fran would not have a winning season until 1964. But ultimately he would have the greatest career by a Viking quarterback, and rivals the greatest of all-time. Tarkenton would finish 124-109-6, with two lengthy stints in Minnesota in a long career.
There were many other quarterbacks chosen over the years. The Vikings, while not known for taking quarterbacks early, did manage to chose a few that were surprising. The 1981 drafting of Wade Wilson with the 210th pick in the draft comes to mind. Wilson was 27-21 while with the Vikings. 1985's Steve Bono (chosen 142nd) was a bust in Minnesota, but he went on to a Pro Bowl visit with the Chiefs. Brad Johnson (1992 chosen 227th) would finish 72-53 with a Super Bowl win with Tampa Bay.
Others were less fruitful. Steve Dils (1979-97th) would start only fiifteen games, finishing 6-9. Names like Thigpen, Booty, Pease, and others forgetten. Bigger busts like Tarvaris Jackson (64th pick and 10-9) trying to be forgotten.
And now Christian Ponder.
If the past means anything, Ponder might benefit from a season of struggles like Tarkenton. This team has far more talent than the 1961 fledgling Vikings, but the records are eerily similar. Tarkenton's two wins in his rookie year may be in jeopardy for most by a Minnesota rookie quarterback. But no one is expecting too much in Ponder's first game at Green Bay.
Given the weakness of the present offensive line, Ponder may end up scrambling more than you-know-who.
No, not Cam Newton.

Condition of ex-Israel PM Sharon worsens: Hospital
JERUSALEM (AFP) - The health of former Israeli premier Ariel Sharon has worsened over the past hours, hospital officials said on Thursday, describing him as being in "extremely critical" condition.
"Over the past hours, there has been a worsening of the condition of former prime minister Ariel Sharon. His condition is described as extremely critical and his family is at his side all the time," said a statement from Sheba hospital near Tel Aviv where he is being treated.
Mr Sharon has been in a coma since January 4, 2006 after suffering a massive stroke, but his condition took a sudden turn for the worse on January 1 when he suffered serious kidney problems after surgery.
Hospital sources quoted by army radio said the former premier only had "a few days or even hours" left.

Gillian and Dave Sutton appeared tired but excited Wednesday as they packed up the last of their 10 state awards received this year from the New Mexico Broadcasters Association/AP. Following their final interview, which included Department of Public Utilities Manager John Arrowsmith and DPU spokesperson Allison Majure, the couple moved from Central Park Square, where the station has operated for 10 years, into a new studio in the Hilltop Shopping Center.
HIGHLAND, Calif. (AP) — Leslie Constante burst into tears when she saw a red tag slapped on her parents' garage in Highland, deeming it unsafe to enter.
"My mom and dad worked so hard for this," said the 29-year-old pharmacy technician, wearing knee high rubber boots.
She couldn't get inside to see how bad the damage was to Christmas presents and other belongings. Out front, two holiday reindeer were enveloped in mud several feet deep.
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — Thousands of tourists, pilgrims and clergy converged on Bethlehem on Friday as the town of Jesus' birth prepared to celebrate Christmas Eve.
Boy Scout marching bands played in Manger Square, just outside the Church of the Nativity, which Christian tradition identifies as the site of Jesus' birth in a stable two millennia ago. Pilgrims lit candles inside, and Palestinian policemen deployed around the town to keep the peace.
It's been a busy year for the Hon. Pat A. Casados of the Los Alamos Magistrate Court. She was elected by fellow judges to the Board of Directors of the New Mexico Magistrate Judges Association, completed a state-wide conference in search and seizure law, earned a professional certificate and ran a successful reelection campaign to a third consecutive four-year term.
County records and historic archives will have a home after the Los Alamos County Council approved an archive and county records facility as add-alternatives to the municipal building design-build project. Council approved the facility during their regular meeting Tuesday night. The county records center will be 6,500 square feet while the historic archives are planned to cover 7,500 square feet. The approximate cost for the add alternates is $2.7 million.
Three seats are open on the Los Alamos School Board and two are up for grabs on the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos Advisory Board. Candidates hoping to fill those seats submitted their declarations of candidacy at the county courthouse on Tuesday.
NEW YORK (AP) — As travelers take to the road, air and rail in the last days before Christmas, they should keep one thing in mind: It could be worse.
Steve Kent scoffed at lines Thursday morning at New York's LaGuardia Airport as he got ready to fly to Denver on a family ski trip.
"I don't find it that difficult," he said. "I think Thanksgiving is harder."
LOS ANGELES (AP) — California residents who endured flooding, mudslides and evacuations during a weeklong onslaught of rain now have another problem: contaminated water and fouled beaches.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico's Unemployment Insurance Call Center will be closed the next two Fridays — Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
The state Department of Workforce Solutions says unemployment insurance claimants should plan for that.
The agency also notes the federal holidays of Christmas and New Year's on the next two Saturdays will mean banks and post offices will be closed. That could delay funds for unemployment insurance debit card holders and participants who have direct deposit or receive checks by mail.
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The Alaska Supreme Court delivered another stinging setback to Republican Joe Miller, refusing to overturn election results that favored his GOP rival, Lisa Murkowski, in the state's U.S. Senate race.

Child sex abuse: Operation Sunflower highlights new efforts to get predators
The majority of suspects were arrested in the United States, but 23 were arrested abroad. The states with the most arrests were California (37), Texas (29), New York (19), Florida (17), and New Mexico (11). States with destination theme parks and family-friendly attractions tend to be targets of predators because they usher through a high volume of children each year.
Ms. Bennett says that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the unit within ICE pursuing online predators, is now focusing on "victim-centered investigations," in which the agency tries to track the identities of the victims first instead of predators. Each time an agent uncovers evidence, it is sent to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a partner since last year, to see if it matches similar images from that database.
HSI also relies on advanced software to examine minute details of photos and videos, and it trains agents to understand the shifting behavior of predators.
"As technology gets better ... the bad guys are getting better in using technology to hide themselves. We have to be one step ahead," says Bennett.
With each arrest, there can be setbacks. For example, the Los Angeles woman arrested, Letha Mae Montemayor, allegedly conducted activities with another adult who remains on the loose. Ms. Montemayor was linked to the photos through her unique tattoos that were registered into a database and were eventually identified by a tipster. The second adult – identified on his federal arrest warrant as "John Doe" – has evaded capture so far because he inserted a black dot over the images of his face, ICE says.

Does not fit oneway stronghold chuck jaw
By Mark
from Hilliard, Ohio
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about WoodRiver 1" Diameter Chuck Insert :
I think this will work great once I remove metal from the back section so it will fit in the jaws. Just be careful to not remove metal that rest in the outside face of the chuck jaws.
NOT for the Nova G3 Chuck
By Rusty Bucket
from Randolph, Vermont
Bought this to avoid swapping out my Nova G3 chuck every time I needed a standard live center on the headstock. Although it appears to be well made - and I prefer it's turbine-like teeth for gripping as compared to the Nova equivalent I had to buy subsequently - it just doesn't fit my G3 chuck. It wobbles, cant get a good grip on it due to the geometry of it. The Nova spur center has a squared shank whereas the WoodRiver version has machined "feet" that literally fall through the cracks of the Nova G3 chuck. Other than that, it looks like a good live center for a chuck insert.
saves lot of time works great

saves a lot of time. because there is no need to remove my chuck when changing projects or steps.
excellent addition to the Nova
By baldguy

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
this was recommended and I'm glad it was! makes switching between projects much easier.
Great quick change
By Shagrat
from Frederick, MD
I like the ease of popping this into the chuck when you need it then just take it out without a lot of fuss. I was surprised by the amount of force I had to apply to get the teeth to set firmly, without it you will quickly strip a ring on your workpiece then have to dig deeper to get it to set. Otherwise, a very useful tool.
Great Time Saver
By Eagle Cowboy
from Eagle, Id
Great time saver when I need a quick change over for a quick project and do not want to unmount my standard chuck. Works great and gets the job done.

From the velvets to the voidoids: a pre-punk history for a post-punk worldFrom the Velvets to the Voidoids explores the origins and evolution of the fiery phase of rock and roll history known as punk and New Wave. Journey through the life of this intense and influential musical movement, from the punk scene's New York roots in the mid-1960s with The Velvet Underground, through the 1970s and groups like the Voidoids, and ultimately to such bands as the Talking Heads. Heylin upends notions that this new music evolved in Britain, establishing authoritatively that its roots were distinctly American: only later would the music develop into its more popular English incarnation.

Bigger Homes Are Not Better Homes
Jean Dimeo / BUILDER / September 26, 2013
The recovery brought with it larger new houses. Why?
During the recession, many Americans—reeling from downsized paychecks and declining home values—scaled back their super-sized lifestyles. Sales of giant SUVs and four-door pickup trucks fell, new-home sizes shrunk, recent graduates moved back home with mom and dad, and newlyweds stayed in rental apartments. How quickly we forget the recent past.
Commerce Department data shows that the average size of a new home was 2,647 square feet during the second quarter of 2013, eclipsing the record of 2,561 square feet set in the first quarter

Building information modeling (BIM) is slowly changing the way building projects are approached, however it has yet to catch fire in the home building industry. Here are a few of the holdups.
1. Expertise
There isn't a ton of BIM expertise out there—especially in the home building sector. It is a relatively new technology and can be complicated to grasp, so there tends to be a natural reluctance to take BIM on.
2. Software Cost
The upfront costs for hardware, software, training, and implementation can be pretty hefty. Six digits hefty. This perceived cost and risk of spending money before

Cascarones are a Mexican tradition used to celebrate spring and many other holidays. Breaking them over someone's head is said to bring good luck.
Carton of eggs
Butter knife
Egg dye and/or markers
Tissue paper
Bowl (for scrambled eggs)

3. Break the yolk and pour it out, leaving just the shell.
4. Rinse the egg-shell in warm, soapy water.
5. Decorate with dye and markers.
6. Cut strips of paper with lines of poetry—thin enough so they can be slipped inside of the egg.
7. Once filled, glue a small circle of tissue paper to the bottom of the shell.
8. Make a dozen or more and celebrate National Poetry Month by breaking your cascarones over your friends' or family members' heads—showering them with poetry.

Founded at the height of the Nineties grunge fest, this once hard-edged, menswear-only boutique has now found its feminine side, with a third premises specialising in womenswear. The minimal, fuss-free aesthetic remains, but a team of friendly staff ensure that this a decidedly 21st-century shopping experience.
The Texan-born designer, who studied at New York's Parson's School of Design and began his working career at sportswear label Cathy Hardwick, really started to make waves at Perry Ellis working under Marc Jacobs. But he is of course best known for turning around the fortunes of Italian fashion house Gucci in the 1990s, restoring in it a kind of sexy 1970s glamour that the brand appeared to have lost. After a stint also designing for Yves Saint Laurent, he created the Tom Ford label that now takes in fragrance, sunglasses and luxurious menswear.
