LAST MINUTE DOC BEFORE THE NEW 9/11 LONDON OLYMPICS FALSE FLAG (6 episodes, 60 min).
"I Space Goat II" by Heliofant is a cinematic which works as predictive programming, which confirms the WTC 9/11 false flag and announces the new 7/27 London false flag.
Its duration has been calculated on purpose : 7min27sec ... as a reference to the London Olympic Ceremony.
The name "HelioFant" is also explicit: Helio ~ Sun ~ Illuminati , Fant ~ Fantaisy ~ fake story ~ Deception ... which gives... HelioFant ~ Illuminati Deception.
"Skyfall", the last James Bond, contains clear references to the London False Flag showing the London tube destroyed in reference to the bombs which will be placed in the London Train.
"Tron Uprising" contains a clear reference to the London Olympic False Flag with a scene about a major moto race in a Stadium which has exactly the same pyramids than the London Olympic stadium, the motos have 5 colors just like the 5 colors of the Olympic Games. And there is a bomb which is put in underground tubes beneath the stadium, when the bomb explodes it makes a mushroom just like the nuclear bombs.... This clearly refers to the nuclear bombs which will be placed in the London Tube and which will make explode the Olympic Park and a part of the London City from below.
Music Clip "Bombs away" by Dawn Richard...the lyrics are quite explicit:
(About to blow)
Boom like an animal
(About to explode)
Nowhere for you to run
(About to let go)
Built like a loaded gun
(About to blow)
The movie "2012" makes a clear reference to the London False Flag, the reference is through "British columbia 2010"... which refers to the Winter Olympics at Vancouver. The canadian region which hosted the 2010 winter olympics is British Columbia. An unusual accident took place at the opening day of the 2010 winter olympics: the death of the luger Kumaritashvili who wore the number 30, refering to the London Olympics which are the 30th olympics...and he died at the "Whistler Sliding Center" refering to "Whistleblower" (which means that there is a hidden message under this). Kumaritashvili died exactly 911 days before the London Olympics Closing Ceremony (12th August 2012).
"Transformers 3: Hidden Dark Side of the Moon" contains a clear reference to 7/27 with a focus on a blue car with the number 27, blue refering to the color of royalty and 27 to 7/27.
"K-Pax" was released in theaters in October 2001, just one month after 9/11, it's a BRITISH-American co-production, and it's produced by Iain Softley, who also produced "Hackers" (1995), a movie which contains many illuminati symbols and a clear reference to the 9/11 false flag (it shows the WTC with written on it "Burn and Crash"). The whole movie K-Pax is around the date July 27. Prot, the lead character is supposed to end his life on earth on July 27 and come back to his planet K-pax at precisely 5:51...which refers to 11, there is 11 years between 2001 and 2012. There is also other references to the London Olympics in this movie.
A mind blowing advertising campaign for a chilean newspapers has been reported on the mailonline, it shows Gaddafi burying alive Mubarak, Amy Winehouse burying alive William and Kate and Steve Jobs burying alive julian Assange... The 3 scenes are in an post apocalyptical period. The message is clear, 3 dead people burying people alive... means that these people are going to be sacrificed. Mubarak has already been put to death, Assange lives in London and will certainly be a victim of the London False Flag...and the Royal family is going to be sacrificed through the London Olympics False Flag.
Amy Winehouse burying Kate and William is a proof of that, she was the last victim of the 27 Club, she died in London at 27 on July which refers to 7/27...she died at exactly 27 years 11 months 9 days, refering to 911...
Other movies contains predictive programming showing that the royal family will be sacrificed such as "Basil the Mouse Detective", "2012" and "Shanghai Knights".
Obama has signed a bill for internet emergency control, he has the switch off/on on the internet in case of any major catastrophe... they are preparing the total blackout on the internet after the London False Flag in order to prevent the people from getting information and in order to brainwash them through the media that they 100% control like TV, they will spread fear and lies until the World War begins and that the modern media will be cut due to the war.
The London "Scipmylo" festival canceld without any reason invoked.
Peres, Wade,Julia Gillard,... Beckham have canceled their trip to the London Olympics at the last moment...invoking non false pretexts such as Peres who says that he cannot respect shabbat if he goes to the London Olympics, while he is not even observant...and even more amazing, Beckham who is the leader of the GB Team, he represents the London Olympics in plenty of commercial and he will not be there!!!!???

The organization received solid debuts from players at the top of the draft as would be expected but had some possible finds in the late rounds as well.
Ramsey was a bit of a surprise pick for the Cardinals in the first round. Even more surprising was the organization assigning the outfielder to the Florida State League for his professional debut. The move seemed overaggressive at the time and Ramsey appeared overmatched from almost the beginning.
The former Seminole hit .229/.333/.314 with one home run in 210 at bats. In 56 games, he struck out 59 times while drawing 33 walks. Interestingly, the left-handed hitter hit .289/.386/.474 in 76 at-bats against left-handed pitching. Ramsey did steal 10 bases in 12 attempts.
Stephen Piscotty (1S)
Considered to be one of the top college bats on draft day, the former Stanford Cardinal proved the part during his professional debut at the Quad Cities. In 210 at bats, Piscotty hit .295/.376/.448 with four home runs and 27 RBIs.
The third baseman got better as he became more accustomed to professional ball. During the month of August, the 21-year-old slugged .466 while collecting three of his home runs and 17 of his total runs driven in.
Patrick Wisdom (1S)
The Cardinal Nation Minor League Rookie Player of the Year showed why the Cardinals nabbed him in the supplemental first round. Playing at Batavia, Wisdom posted an OPS of .837 with six home runs and 32 RBIs.
Of his 68 hits, 27 were for extra bases while he played a solid hot corner for the Muckdogs. The right-handed hitter's .465 slugging percentage was the fourth-best mark in the New York-Penn League.
Steve Bean (1S)
Bean's debut at Johnson City did not go like the Texas backstop would have liked. In 24 games, the left-handed hitter struggled to post a line of .125/.263/.213.
The organization sent him to the Gulf Coast League, where he was able to find his rhythm. The Texas recruit hit .320/.424/.400 with four double in 50 at bats. During the final month of the season, the then-18-year-old hit .357 and posted on OPS of .923.
Carson Kelly (2)
Kelly put up impressive power numbers for a high school player, but even more so when considering he did not turn 18 until July. The former Oregon prep star hit nine home runs, which was the second-best mark on Johnson City.
Though he struggled against right-handed pitching, Kelly really punished lefties. In 48 at-bats, the right-handed batter posted a line of .313/.377/.521.
The slick fielding shortstop was hitting .250/.265/.333 before a knee injury ended his season after only 23 games. In 32 at-bats with runners on base, Mejia hit .313/.313/.375 with six RBIs.
Yoenny Gonzalez (8)
The raw outfielder was going to be a project and proved to be that in his Gulf Coast League debut. Gonzalez posted an anemic line of .227/.311/.258 with 28 strikeouts in 132 at bats.
The 20-year-old was also known as a speedster and he proved that as well. Gonzalez swiped 14 bases in 17 attempts, which was the second-best total on the team.
Rowan Wick (9)
The backstop really struggled to find his way during his Gulf Coast League professional debut. In 23 games, he hit .156/.233/.273 with 21 strikeouts in 77 at bats. On a positive note, the left-handed hitter slugged .409 against left-handed pitching.
Jacob Wilson (10)
The University of Memphis product enjoyed a solid professional debut at Batavia, hitting .275 with six home runs and 25 RBIs. The infielder slugged .444 overall while slugging .526 against left-handed pitching.
Wilson really seemed to find his groove late and probably would have preferred the season continue instead of ending on September 5. In his final 10 games, he hit .459/.500/.757 with three home runs and eight RBIs.
Brett Wiley (13)
After a two-game fill in at Quad Cities, Wiley enjoyed a solid season in the Gulf Coast League. The 20-year-old hit posted an impressive line of .300/.389/.443 with 11 doubles and 62 total bases in 40 games.
The middle infielder really found his groove in the final month of the season. In 16 August games, he hit .382/.453/.582 with his lone home run and seven RBIs.
The Boston College product enjoyed an impressive debut considering he spent a majority of it at full season Quad Cities. After an underwhelming debut at Batavia, the 22-year-old filled a need for the River Bandits and performed better than expected.
Melchionda finished with a line of .288/.316/.445 with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 146 at bats. With runners in scoring position, the infielder batted .342.
Bruce Caldwell (15)
The 20-year-old played in 44 games at Johnson City before a late season promotion to Batavia. While at JC, he showed a polished left-handed stroke with the ability to make solid contact.
The left-handed batter finished his time in the Appy League with a line of .304/.361/.520 with six home runs and 26 RBIs. Caldwell's slugging percentage was the top mark on the team and would have been among the league leaders had he been with the club long enough to qualify.
Jeremy Schaffer (18)
The polished Tulane product roughed up the younger competition in the Appalachian League. Schaffer posted a line of .272/.329/.513 with 10 home runs, 20 doubles, and 51 RBIs. The first baseman did show fatigue down the stretch, hitting only .226 during the final month of the season.
The 22-year-old led the league in RBIs, doubles, while ranking second in total bases, fifth in slugging, and tied for fourth in home runs.
Matthew Young (20)
The hulking outfielder struggled to make consistent contact with 61 strikeouts in 171 at bats at Batavia. The 22-year-old with the wide batting stance finished the season with a line of .246/.335/.374.
The right-handed hitter posted only a .548 OPS against lefties while he posted a .748 against right-handers. In his final 10 games, Young slugged .567 with a .978 OPS during that stretch.
Jacoby Almaraz (21)
The 20-year-old son of a Cardinals minor league scout had a so-so professional debut. After a slow start in the GCL, Almaraz finished with an average of .246 with two home runs and nine RBIs. The left-handed batter did show good strike zone management with a .377 on base percentage.

Editor's Note: I'm pleased to introduce Eric Singerman, our brand new writing intern. As a student at the University of Chicago, he'll be helping us cover some great dishes on the South Side. For his first post, he's checking out a Hyde Park essential, Zaleski & Horvath MarketCafe.
[Photograph: Eric Singerman]
Zaleski & Horvath MarketCafe recently got the nod of approval from Serious Eats and it's one of my favorite places to grab a bite in Hyde Park, if not Chicago. Even my cynical, self-professed food expert New Yorker mother approves of their coffee and sandwiches. There's little doubt that it's all delicious, but I always opt for one of their paninis, my favorite being The Little Pecorino ($8.95).
While the turkey sandwiches of my youth were riddled with mounds of dry, barely-swallowable turkey, this sandwich has just a few slices of turkey, which I actually feel comfortable calling succulent (a word far too often used). The bread is crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside-everything a panini is supposed to be-with a slightly nutty flavor. The turkey, which would be delicious on its own, is propelled forward by a great blend of pesto, mayo, roasted red peppers, and, of course, pecorino. The sandwich is just rich enough without being overbearing—the perfect foil to the Chicago winter evening. The sides change daily, so today I ended up with a curried potato salad‐slightly unremarkable, but still good.

The whole reason it was shortened was to keep the track on the calender. Because they were removing trees to make the new circuit, they tore the old one up and planted the trees there. And there's an Irony to this... What's that irony you ask? Well, because they were making a new track AND tearing down the old one, along with pulling and planting trees, Hockenheimring nearly went bankrupt. As a result, they now have to alternate with the Nurburgring. Demolishing a classic track for a Tilkedrome that's only used once every two years? What a failure...

What Makes Hybrid Clouds Appealing?
Public, private and hybrid are the three flavors of cloud computing. As the market continues to mature, interest is growing in hybrid clouds by enterprises looking to get the best of both worlds.
According to the CIO Global Cloud Computing Adoption Survey (January 2012), hybrids are growing in popularity with nearly 20% of enterprise deployments using this model today. Hybrid clouds, which mix the benefits of private and public clouds, offer flexibility and choice of deployment methods without requiring trade-offs around performance, control and security.
As the applicability continues to increase it is worth understanding the concepts and benefits behind hybrid clouds. Let's take a look at what makes hybrid clouds appealing to some organizations:
Agility & Flexibility: A hybrid cloud model can allow a company to combine its own computing assets with assets from a public or private cloud provider to scale on-demand and increase agility. This model may be ideal for a company looking to handle bursts in workloads.
Potential Cost Savings: A hybrid cloud model, according to research from TrendMicro, has the ability to "optimize the infrastructure spending during different stages of the application lifecycle. Public clouds can be tapped for development and testing while private clouds can be used for production."
"Painless" Application Migration: A hybrid model can allow companies to migrate applications to a cloud environment in a phased process where some components reside on the cloud, such as web and storage levels, while others remain on a dedicated physical infrastructure. Over time the application can be upgraded to run completely in the cloud environment.
Hybrid Cloud Use Scenarios
Some of the most common uses for hybrid clouds across the technology industry, according to a TrendMicro survey, include:
Using the private cloud for mission-critical applications and using public clouds for non-critical applications. A firm, for example, may use a private cloud for production deployment and a public cloud for test and development of lower-tier applications.
Another example is non-destructive Disaster Recovery (DR) testing. Organizations can test if their production environment is DR-ready by tapping the public clouds without any disruption.

text: Hey everyone. I've just finished uploading the last of the designs I've come up with so far. Here's a picture of them (I've put them all into one image to save on loading times): I've figured out that to get all of these nine printed out in all of the materials I have made them available in (so I can take photos of them), it would cost me about $878... That's $384 for Silver, $429 for Glossy Silver, and $65 for the Frosted Ultra Detail. I've also figured out that if one of them gets purchased 6 times, it will pay for the print of itself that I have to buy to take the photo of it (this goes for all of them). I will probably be able to fork out for all the FUD versions before any sales are made - but I'd like to buy one design in Silver at some point to let me see, feel and show the difference, so I was wondering which design is most popular? I do intend to eventually acquire photos of all of them in at least FUD and Silver... Here are their individual links: Design#1 - Design#2 - Design#3 Design#4 - Design#5 - Design#6 Design#7 - Design#8 - Design#9

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Brevard infielder Bennett Hixson and pitcher Zach Joyce have claimed the SAC baseball weekly awards following a double-header sweep of conference-foe Catawba on Sunday.
"It's been a good week for our program, I don't think we've ever had both the player of the week and the pitcher of the week," said head coach Matt McCay. "We're really proud and excited for those guys."
Hixson finished 3-of-6 with four RBI in the two games against Catawba, driving in the game-winning runs in both Tornado victories.
In game one, Hixson had two hits and three RBI, highlighted by a walk-off, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the seventh. He later singled in the game's only run in the nightcap, sending BC to the series victory.
Hixson is hitting an even .300 on the season with a .364 on-base percentage and six RBI.
Joyce tossed a complete-game shutout in BC's 1-0 seven-inning game two victory over Catawba, allowing just one hit while striking out six. The win evened the Tornados' overall record at 3-3.
Joyce has now thrown 14 innings on the season, posting a 1.29 ERA and eight strikeouts. Opponents are hitting just .195 against the right-hander.

NY Court Rules On Miranda Rights
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) _ New York's highest court says police can interrogate a suspect without reading their Miranda rights or providing a lawyer when they reasonably believe there's a serious, ongoing emergency.
The Court of Appeals says the exception to a defendant's rights applies even when authorities don't know for certain a crime happened.
The court on Thursday backed prosecutors' use of incriminating statements Scott Doll made after the February 2009 beating death of business partner Joseph Benaquist.
A Genesee County deputy responding to an evening 911 call about a suspicious person found him walking on a roadway.
Doll initially said wet blood on his clothes was from butchering deer.

Justin Bieber Apologizes For Using N-Word In Leaked Video
Justin Bieber has issued an apology for having used the n-word in a leaked video from five years ago.
In a statement to TMZ, the pop star says he's "very sorry" for saying the racial slur in a joke caught on camera when he was 15 years old, calling it a "childish and inexcusable mistake." Justin, now 20, explains that "as a young man, [he] didn't understand the power of certain words" and sees now that "[his] actions were continuing the ignorance."
Taking blame for his words, Justin says that "[he] was a kid then" but is now "a man now who knows [his] responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again." He adds that he hopes "the sharing of [his] faults" will prevent others from acting as he did.
The video was published by U.K. tabloid "The Sun" on Saturday, and was supposedly shot as a part of Justin's 2011 documentary "Never Say Never." In it, he's seen asking "Why are black people afraid of chain saws?" -- following it up with a punch line repeating the n-word five times.

Not many programs can boast a winning record against Poly High's girls basketball team.
But Windward is one of them, and the Jackrabbits have an opportunity tonight to get one of those losses back.
At 7 p.m. on Windward's West L.A. campus, Poly will face the Wildcats for the second time this season and the third time in just under a year.
Ranked fourth in the country by USA Today and second in the state, Windward earned a 49-38 victory over the Jackrabbits in December at the Oaks Christian Tournament. That followed a thrilling 56-55 victory over Poly last January in a one-day showcase event at Long Beach City College, giving the private school with a high school enrollment of less than 400 a 2-0 record against Carl Buggs' team.
"We're definitely looking forward to (another chance to play Windward)," Buggs said.
Under first-year coach Vanessa Nygaard - a former WNBA player and assistant coach - the Wildcats are 20-0 this season and ranked No. 1 in CIF-SS Division IV-AA. They've beaten five of MaxPreps.com's top 10 California teams (Poly, Bishop O'Dowd, Serra, Miramonte and Chaminade) and won premier division titles at the Arizona Nike TOC and the Oaks Christian Tournament.
Junior Jordin Canada is considered the best point guard in her class in the country, and she can give a pressure defense like Poly's nightmares with her ballhandling and cat-like speed.
"She makes them go," said Buggs, who felt Canada was the difference in last season's one-point loss. "She can take the game over."
Senior wing Courtney Jaco has signed with USC and is Windward's top perimeter threat.
Kristen Simon, a 6-1 junior, is playing well, and Buggs said she was a "handful" when the teams met in December.
In that meeting, Poly (18-2) held a 31-24 lead in the third quarter before the bottom fell out. The Jackrabbits went ice cold from the field and had no offensive answer as Canada and Co. rallied. The Wildcats closed the third quarter on a 14-1 run and added to their lead in the fourth.
"We hit a couple dry spells," Buggs remembered, "the shots weren't falling and you can't keep giving them opportunities to score. We played great defense early, but you have to put points on the board."
Poly, ranked ninth by USA Today and No. 2 in CIF-SS Division I-AA, has won eight consecutive games since its loss to Windward in December.

This is the sturdy decorative wrought iron frame that safely displays Christmas stockings in front of a fireplace. Unlike hooks that perch precariously atop a mantel and require nails, tacks, or other adhesives, the powder-coated 1/2"-diameter frame includes five S-hooks that support up to 22 lbs., ideal for fully laden stockings. The base has two Y-shaped feet that prevent tipping, placing the decorative crossbar bearing a reindeer-driven sleigh 35" off the hearth or floor, high enough for most fireplaces. The five hooks may be positioned anywhere along the crossbar (and may be removed to match the needed stockings). Minor assembly. 38 1/2" H x 35 1/2" W x 13" D. (1 1/2 lbs.)

Great product!
By Satisfied
from Kingsport, TN
Excellent product! Worked great! We were able to place our stockings in a more convenient, appropriate area of the living room and still show them off nicely. Wish I had bought this a few years earlier instead of fighting with stockings falling off the ledge.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

does what i need it to do
By biggace

I don't have a fireplace or mantle where I can hang my stockings. I've used stocking holders in the past that tip over if the stocking is too heavy. So, I decided to give this a try. I love the design with the santa sleigh and reindeer up top. Love that it's portable to place anywhere I want. Seems sturdy enough to hold the stocking and their contents. Easy to put together (3 parts with only 2 screws and no extra tools needed). I wrapped lighted garland around the frame to spice up the look. Highly recommend.

This looks perfect in front of our fireplace and is the perfect size! The color on-line looks to be black, but it is actually a very dark brown.

I really like this stocking holder. I have it sitting in front of my patio door with our stockings hanging on it as I do not have a mantle. I think it looks real classy, I'm glad I bought it.
easy to assemble and store

I have always run into "Christmas Stockings" precariously hanging over our fireplace. They do not make weights heavy enough to place on the mantle to hold a full stocking. Nor have I wanted to damage the hearth with nails. This stocking holder is wonderful! Made of a heavy metal that will not only hold 5 full stockings it also has Santa and his reindeer on it!We have a white fireplace and this black wrote iron stocking holder will look lovely next to it!Thank you Hammacher Schlemmer for always having quality/unique merchandise at a reasonable price!!
A must have!!

Think this product is the "coolest " thing ever!! Easy for the kids to use and great value for the money!!
The perfect Christmas stocking holder
By Christmas decorator
from Mississippi
Very glad I purchased this item.Don't have to worry about the Christmas stockings catching fire hanging from the mantle any longer.Can set this up, stand it at the hearth and move it when we use the fireplace.
Just what I ordered
By KSY
from Southington, CT
This item was shipped quickly and came exactly as advertised. Easy to assemble, and seems to be made well. I like that I can move it anywhere - I don't have to have the stockings by the mantle if I don't want. I also don't mar the mantle with nails or scratches from stocking holders that sit on top. They also can hold heavier things in the stockings. I think the hooks, which are just placed onto the bar below may be too easy to lose, maybe they should clip on or something to minimize this. Otherwise, it's just what I was looking for!

Post subject: VRs Quarterly Mock
Chicago Bears W
@ St. Louis Rams L
@ Houston Texans L
Green Bay Packers W
The Vikings finish the regular season with a respectable 8-8 record and are awarded with the 17th overall pick in the draft.
I am not including the need for a franchise QB as I assume that to be the most essential need for any team that does not have an established franchise QB.
1) Wide Receiver
The passing game has been a complete tragedy this season and all the blame should not be placed on Christian Ponders shoulders. The Vikings WRs are horrible. Percy Harvin is the only respectable starter but he is still far too one-dimensional to be relied on as a #1 WR. Michael Jenkins, Stephen Burton and Devin Aromashodu have all seen significant playing time this season and neither of these three deserve to be on an NFL roster. I like Jarius Wrights potential going forward as a #3 or #4 WR. I dont know what to think about Jerome Simpson. He looked like a decent complimentary WR in 2011 and played quite well in the preseason. I am willing to give him another year. Its obvious that he is struggling physically due to the nerve/back issues he has been dealing with all season.
2) Middle Linebacker
Jasper Brinkley is a bottom five starting MLB and his woes in coverage and lack of athleticism are really killing this defense. A lot of the team's third down defensive struggles can be traced to the Linebackers inability to cover in zone. It starts with having an athletic and instinctive MLB who can run down the alley and cut off open spots in the zones.
3) 1 Technique DT
Letroy Guion may feel more comfortable lined up over the ball, but he his horrible at it. Guion gets no push or penetration, he does not sustain double teams and gets pushed aside in the running game.
4) Offensive Guard
The Vikings offensive line has been a strong point this year and I think most can feel good about Matt Kalil, John Sullivan and Phil Loadholt going forward. However, both OG spots have big question marks. Charlie Johnson is a below average starter at best and Brandon Fusco has essentially been demoted to being a part time starter. Both Johnson and Fusco have been strong in the run game but leave a lot to be desired as pass blockers.
5) 3 Technique DT
The ranking of this need depends entirely on Kevin Williams returning. If Williams does return, I dont expect the Vikings to take a 3 technique early, there is a more immediate need for a 1 Tech. at the moment. However, if Williams does leave, the Vikings dont have anyone who can even start at the position. For me to want to draft a 3 technique DT early, they need to be a premier prospect. Otherwise, teams around the league have wasted a lot of early picks on this need.
6) Safety
The Vikings Safetys have actually been a bright spot this year. Harrison Smith is proving why Safety is such an important position in todays NFL and his presence has solidified things greatly. The Vikings are one of the best teams in the league at limiting big plays down field and in the Cover 2, the Safetys deserve the credit for that. Mistral Raymond and Jamarca Sanford have both proven to be adequate starters opposite of Smith. Sanford is fantastic and physical in run support but he can be a liability in coverage assignments. Raymond is the exact opposite, he rarely gets burned for a big play but he is so weak and doesnt play like a Safety should as a violent and ferocious hitter. The Vikings could stand to grab a balanced, physical, athletic and rangy Safety to play opposite of Smith but its not going to break this defense if they dont.
7) Cornerback
CB is another need that depends entirely on the status of Antoine Winfield. If Winfield returns, the Vikings look quite good with Chris Cook, Josh Robinson, A.J. Jefferson and Winfield. However, if Winfield retires, there will be a big void at nickel and dime CB as everyone will have to move up a spot. I expect the Vikings to take at least one CB in the draft.
OL Depth
There really isnt much developmental depth to speak of, an injury to either LT, RT or C would put this team in a world of hurt. Adding a new starter at OG will also add to the depth for the interior OL.
9) Tight End
I dont expect John Carlson to return so the Vikings will be a bit short on depth. The Vikings could really benefit by adding some speed at TE and grabbing a true athlete at the position. Kyle Rudolph, Rhett Ellison and Allen Reisner posses very little speed and explosiveness.
10) Third Down RB/Special Teams contributor
I think most of us miss the impact Chester Taylor had on third down. The Vikings have really lacked that impact receiving RB since Taylor left in 2010. Toby Gerhart isnt a natural third down RB, isnt an effective short yardage runner and he shouldnt be stealing carries away from Adrian Peterson.

S Andrew Sendejo | released
Free Agents Acquired
WR Dwayne Bowe 5 years; $48,000,000
As is the case with most big money free agent WRs, I wouldnt anticipate Bowe going to a playoff team with an established QB. It seems that the teams that dont have a proven QB who are a fringe playoff teams or worse that are willing to pay top dollar for a WR upgrade. Bowe has great size, has generally been a reliable receiver, and can make plays all over the field. I like Bowe more than I do Greg Jennings, due to age and availability going forward.
DT Sammie Lee Hill 1 year; $2,500,000
Hill has been overshadowed by Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairly and Corey Williams in Detroit and should be an upgrade over Guion. Hill has great size to be an anchor and is a surprisingly good athlete for 330+ pound player. Hill signs a cheap, one year prove-it type contract in hopes of a breakout season.
Matt Flynn, QB, Seattle Seahawks
The Vikings trade a fourth round pick and a conditional pick in 2014 (third round pick if Flynn starts at least 10 games and the Vikings go to the playoffs; fourth round pick if Flynn starts 10 games; or a fifth round pick if Flynn makes the opening day roster in 2013).
The Vikings will assume Flynns $5,250,000 cap hit for 2013.
While I have been fairly neutral in my assessment of Christian Ponder to date, I am willing to give him another year as the likely starter. Rather than spending another early pick on a QB, I think it would be wise for the Vikings to find a young veteran who can compete for the starting job. Further, if Ponder shows little progression in year three, the Vikings need a viable backup plan. I dont believe that Ponder had earned the right to just be handed the job as a starter given some of his dreadful performances this season and lack of overall progression.
Additionally, I have no faith in Joe Webb ever having to see the field for a meaningful period of time. Flynn is still young and should be solid competition for Ponder. I cant imagine the Seahawks keeping Flynn around as a $5 million backup.
NFL Draft
The Vikings trade a first round pick (17) for a first round pick (27) and second round pick.
1 (27) C.J. Mosley | MLB | Alabama | via trade
Mosley fills the void for an athletic, instinctive and discipline MLB and should be able to come in day one and start.
2 T.J. McDonald | S | USC
As discussed earlier, adding another balanced Safety will greatly benefit the defense. Being able to switch in and out of Cover 2 and Cover 3 looks with both Safetys will benefit the run and pass defense. McDonald is physical, athletic and is well coached after spending his college career with Monte Kiffin.
2 Cobi Hamilton | WR | Arkansas | via trade
Hamilton reminds me of Rueben Randle coming out last year and I anticipate him being drafted in the same spot. Hamilton is a raw WR but he has a good combination of height/weight/speed prospect. Hamilton should be the favorite to be the teams #3 WR and possesses #1 WR potential.
3 Cyril Richardson | OG | Baylor
Richardson was a college LT but switched to OG. Richardson looks like a natural RG prospect and should fall due to the depth of this years class.
4 Jamar Taylor | CB | Boise State | via Detroit
Taylor has the size and short area quickness to be an effective slot CB at the next level. Taylor could be viewed as a potential replacement for Winfield inside, or at the least, Jeffersons replacement at dime CB.
5 Everett Dawkins | DT | Florida State
Dawkins looks like a typical 3 technique DT and his stock is sliding a bit. The Vikings take a chance on a mid round DT panning out.
6 Zack Martin | OT/G | Notre Dame | via Tennessee
Martin reminds me of Charlie Johnson. Martin plays OT but his lack of length will push him inside. However, I see a future for Martin as a reserve swing OT/OG.
7 - Lucas Reed | TE | New Mexico
Need some depth and competition, Reed is a decent athlete and has good size.

Bowe does a good job at getting open, creating separation and he has been a healthy player throughout his career. I guess I am willing to put up with a few drops, the production is there despite playing with mostly bad QBs. He hasnt been a big TD producer, but I think Rudolph and Peterson will be the players who do the most scoring in the redzone.

Not a fan of Flynn. I agree that Ponder has to be challenged next year, if not replaced. Just don't think Flynn can be anything special.
Can't argue against Bowe. Bowe isn't an elite guy, but with all of the weapons we have he doesn't have to be superman. Any WR who comes here can focus on beating the man in front of him because there are just too many options on this offense to pay attention to just one guy. Bowe would be a solid addition.
Mosley and McDonald are excellent additions to the defense. The LB play has been terrible this year, although I accredit that more to the line being pushed away. Add the plug in Sammie Hill and the production of Mosley, it would improve the middle of the defense. Also not a fan of Hamilton. Maybe in the 4th round but definitely not in the 2nd round. He is fast but not explosive, he also leaves a lot to be desired as far as separation. Arkansas has him running mostly go routes, so his route tree is underdeveloped. Would take him a bit to make an impact at this level. Jamar Taylor is an impressive prospect with his size and coverage ability, has been inconsistent though. Richardson is a mauler at the OG spot. Lots of OGs in this class, Minnesota has to land one. Overall, aside from Flynn I could get on board.

2-3 games is often all a veteran needs to receive attention. I actually think he is a better option than some of the other veteran options like Alex Smith and Michael Vick. the Vikings need to find a capable veteran backup QB, I think it would be foolish to not have someone else in mind behind Ponder.

Flynn played well under the GB system with GB receivers, i can't see him performing well here.

How wont Bowe make a difference. Bowe has usually been good for 14-16 yards per catch and is consistently a 1000 yard receiver. The Vikings are desperate for a player who can produce as such.

It's a solid mock to be sure though, although over $5M may be an overpayment for Loadholt. However, I'm good with keeping him around as he's done a very good job this year.

Could he compete with Ponder though? Could he potentially play better than Ponder if Ponder doesnt improve? Flynn probably isnt a long-term answer, but I see him more as a possible high end backup who has the smarts to possibly start if Ponder fails to improve.
I see it as , who is the better QB and back up plan/competition? Matt Flynn or Joe Webb/McLeod Bethel-Thompson

[quote="rpmwr19"]-Not a fan of the Bowe signing, but wouldn't be upset if that's what we did.[.quote]
Something needs to be done to add a starting WR. The options are slim, possibly Greg Jennings or Santonio Holmes. Otherwise, relying on a rookie might not produce the immediate results at WR this team needs. Mike Wallace will likely be franchise tagged.
-Is Mosely really a middle linebacker? I thought he was viewed more as an OLB.
I think Mosley could slide inside, he has good size and is a good tackler, physical player. He is listed at 230 pounds, but that will probably be more like 235-240 once he begins offseason training. Mosley has all the tools to be a Cover 2 MLB.
-Not a fan of trading for Matt Flynn, but I agree that someone needs to be brought in.
Three options I see: 1) Spend an early pick 2) Sign Alex Smith or Michael Vick or 3) Trade for Flynn (or maybe sign him if he is released). I dont like Vick at all for this team and I dont trust Smith's failures outside of Jim Harbaugh. Though Smith is probably more ideal than Flynn.
-I believe Tyrone McKenzie is under contract thru next year; at least he is via rotoworld.
You might be correct.
-Simpson and Henderson can leave as far as I'm concerned
I wouldnt be upset if they left, but I would really like to see Simpson more fully integrated into the offense. With the suspension and mysterious nerve issues, i feel he is way behind this year. The guy has exceptional athletic ability, and i would be interested in seeing what he could look like with a full offseason of recovery and maybe get treatment if he needs it.
It's a solid mock to be sure though, although over $5M may be an overpayment for Loadholt. However, I'm good with keeping him around as he's done a very good job this year.
Might be an example of the rookie wage scale in effect. Free agents who are worth keeping around will see more money. Loadholt has been a top 3 RT this year, between him and Sebastian Vollmer it will be interesting to see what the market is for good RTs. Ultimately, losing Loadholt would be costly, id rather just keep him at whatever reasonable price.

China Cuts Off World's Rare Earth Metal Supply
Jason Mick
October 21, 2011 12:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The hand giveth, the hand taketh away
China only has about 30 percent of the world's rare earth metal deposits, but thanks to clever planning it today
controls 97 percent of the world's production of these scarce resources
. Deposits of this family of 17 elements --
vital to power electronics
found in televisions, smart phones, electric vehicles, and a variety of other devices -- are found in California, Canada, Australia, and Russia, but it will take years to bring them online.
In short the world is
at China's mercy
for now when it comes to rare earth supply. And China's biggest rare earth metal producer -- the Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-Earth (Group) has announced that it is severing shipments to the U.S., Japan, and Europe for one month in an attempt to artificially inflate prices.
Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-Earth also plans to buy rare earth metals in an attempt to further move prices upward. The company already controls 60 percent of China's rare earth production, thanks to the Chinese government's decision to merge 35 other local companies into the Inner Mongolia business, or fade them out.
China controls 97 percent of the world's rare earth metal production.
[Source: Wikimedia Commons]
While the Sichuan province in the southwest and Shandong in the east produce significant amounts of rare earth as well, the Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-Earth Group's decision should be enough to move prices significantly.
Doing so will benefit China in a couple ways. First, prices will almost certainly go up, reverse a downward slide. Lynas Corp., an Australian rare earth producer reveals that since June the price of neodymium oxide has declined 34 percent to $157 per kilogram, while europium oxide is down 35 percent at $2,904 per kilogram.
Sun Fan, a rare earth analyst for Goldstate Securities in the southern city of Shenzhen comments in a
Associated Press
, "The impact on the market supply will be substantial. The dual measures of suspension and purchase will offer support for the rare earth prices and make the prices gradually pick up in the future."
Aside from raising prices higher, the pause in production will allow China to try to kick start its efforts to produce locally produce magnets. When it comes to the production of the magnets used in the electric motors of hybrid and electric vehicles, typically the biggest profit is not realized at a commodity level, but at a magnet producer level. Thus in the past foreign nations like the U.S. and Japan have pocketed the biggest profits. China
hopes to change that

China's Ministry of Land and Resources in September bragged that rare earth metals were the nation's "21st century treasure trove of new materials." It argued that exports should be tightened, choking foreign supply and favoring Chinese manufacturers.

No games today. No games tomorrow. No games the next day.
This is what the NHL lockout has come to: 100 days of solitude at your local rink.
No end in sight to a labor impasse that reached the century mark Monday.
There's a sheet of ice under the basketball court at Staples Center ready to go, but you have to wonder if it'll ever be used by the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings. You have to believe the Kings won't set foot on their home ice until maybe September or October.
It took 45 seasons for the Kings to win their first Stanley Cup title, and it's a shame they'll have to wait and wait and wait to raise their championship banner on the Staples Center Wall of Honor, a moment some fans have been waiting nearly all their lives to see.
Too bad they can't do it today, tomorrow or the next day.
Too bad the lockout has dragged on and on and on.
I blame Gary Bettman, NHL commissioner and the No. 1 reason we're where we are today.
The way I see it, it's the fault of Bettman and a small group of intractable, hard-line owners.
All games through Jan. 14 have been wiped out, a total of 652 contests or a little more than half of the 2012-13 schedule. The players' association voted to dissolve their union, which would clear the way for an antitrust lawsuit against the owners.
Meanwhile, representatives for the players and owners spoke by phone Saturday, but no face-to-face negotiations were scheduled. Time is running short, the season is on the brink of cancellation and a general lack of urgency seems to be hanging over both sides.
Back in 2004-05, Bettman and the owners claimed they would lose less money by shutting down the league for an entire season, and maybe that was the case. But they seem bent on doing it again, which is beyond belief. It's long past time for Bettman to strike a deal to end this mess.
It's time to drop the puck and begin to play again.
Enough is enough.
Some might say it's the players' fault, too. They could have settled by now, accepted the owners' terms and gone about their business.
The players shouldn't get rich playing a kids' game for millions. They should be happy they're not working 9-to-5 like the rest of us.
I disagree.
This time, it's strictly the fault of the owners, who want to cut from the players' share of the profits. Last season, it was a record $3.3 billion. They want the players to agree to a lengthy 10-year collective bargaining agreement. They want free-agent contracts limited to only five years.
The owners want, want and want.
But hold on a moment.
Didn't these same owners get everything they demanded when they locked out the players for the entire 2004-05 season? Didn't they get a salary cap, the cost certainty they said they needed to survive? Didn't they win their bet the fans would return in droves?
Of course they did.
So, if the owners got every single thing they wanted from the last labor mess, why are they doing it all over again? Precisely because they won that last fight so handily. They believe if they can do it again they can crush the union again and increase their profits again.
It's cynical, it's greedy and it's disgusting.
Now, it's true some franchises are struggling financially. But if the Coyotes can't turn a buck in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Ariz., or the Blue Jackets can't cut it in Columbus, Ohio, then maybe those teams should be relocated to Toronto, Quebec City, Seattle or wherever there's a viable market.
Maybe a team in South Florida can't work financially but can in Portland, Ore.
I don't have all the answers.
What I do know is the players and fans are getting the short end of the hockey stick.
Did you know that no pro sports league has lost more games to labor strife than the NHL in the past 20 years? Not the NBA, not Major League Baseball and certainly not the NFL, which had its own uncertainty last summer but resolved it in time for a full season.
The NHL locked out its players in 1994-95, but returned to play a truncated 48-game season. The league locked out its players again in 2004-05, when matters were unsustainable. Teams were losing serious money but returned with a new financial structure that solved the problems.
Or so it seemed.
Certainly, the hockey was better. Scoring was up and fighting was down.
Teams from the big markets began to win championships. The Ducks got one in 2007, the Chicago Blackhawks got theirs in 2010, the Boston Bruins got theirs in 2011 and the Kings hoisted the Cup last June.
Television ratings, usually microscopic, actually were up in big markets like Southern California.
Apparently, that was not enough for Bettman and the owners, the same people who turned their backs on the exposure they formally received on ESPN and ABC to sign and then re-sign with what used to be called Versus and now is known as the NBC Sports Network.
Um, let's see. What channel was that again?
Six hundred and three?
It's no coincidence the league's profile, at least on this side of the Canadian border, continues to shrink.
Local newspapers, including this one, cut back on space and travel budgets to the point there wasn't a single reporter covering the Kings' road games for several seasons.
So the Kings hired their own beat reporter to post news about the team on their website.
Bettman's answer to this identity crisis was to lock out the players for the third time since 1994.
So, this is where we are today: out of sight, out of mind and running out of time.

text: Representatives of Harun Yahya held a series of conferences in four of the biggest cities of Algeria between the 21st and 26th of October, 2011. The first of the conferences was realized with the help of the local municipality at the Zeralda Culture Center in the city of Zeralda on the 21st of October, 2011. The 75-person hall, in which the conference about "The Invalidity of the Theory of Evolution" and "The Miracles of the Qur'an" was held, was completely full and many visitors waited outside the hall. At the end of the conference about the collapse of the theory of evolution, there was a question and answer session. At the end of the conference, several Algerian TV channels and broadcasting agencies recorded the conference on camera and interviewed the speakers. In addition, there was great attention to the exhibition composed of Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation and other books in French and Arabic. The visitors examined the books one by one and received information from the speakers about Harun Yahya's works.

Worst Martial Arts Demonstration Ever
Everybody has seen a martial arts demonstration with board breaking. Whether it's a kick or a punch, we all understand the goal. Snap a piece of wood in half.
It's not that difficult.
Children can do it. It's all about making forceful contact with the center of the board. But, you don't have to be Chuck Norris to pull it off.
Well. This guy exists. He struggles. But, the most hilariously awkward part comes when he actually breaks one. Watch it.

World AIDS Day shows solidarity in the fight against HIV/AIDS
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Sunday marks the 25th observance of World AIDS Day, a day when people around the world show solidarity in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
"I had been dating somebody who committed suicide," says David Pable.
Pable's partner had tested positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV—the virus that causes AIDS.
A few weeks after his partner's death, Pable started getting sick. Ten years ago he was also diagnosed as HIV-positive.
"I had just come out of the closet and it put me right back into the closet because of the stigma that is associated with HIV," says Pable.
According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, right now 1.1 million people in the United States are living with HIV. One in five of them are unaware they are infected.
The theme for World Aids Day 2013 in Charleston is "See Zero."
"See Zero" works to stop stigma through education and engaging patients to get the number of infections and AIDS-related deaths down to zero.
"HIV is a preventable disease. That is our mission at the Ryan White program—to educate the community on the resources available to those living with HIV, but also ways to prevent HIV," says Ashley Redmond, director for the Ryan White Program at Roper St. Francis Hospital. The Ryan White Program provides HIV-related services to more than half a million people each year nationwide.
According to Redmond, the CDC estimates one in four people living with HIV are successfully navigating care that suppresses the virus, which is critical to stopping further transmission of HIV.
Pable found help through the Ryan White Program at Roper St. Francis Hospital.
"You get to take off a lot of veils. Closets are good for hanging clothes they are not good for people to be hanging out in," says Pable.
The Lowcountry AIDS Services is giving free HIV testing all this week. Call them at 747-2273 to set up a private appointment.

Power for the sensors flows up the tether and data flows down.
Even the always-energetic Atti looked like he was at the end of his tether.
In this conversation, Rick realizes that to survive, he must tether himself to the present—to these people.
We would lack a human face as our symbol; we would exist in the ether of ideas with no concrete stake in the ground to tether us.
I showed him the tether on my foot, and the stake that dragged after it.
There she lay at the end of her tether, with extended wings, bitten and rumpled.
But we could find no other stable, and were therefore obliged to tether the unhappy animals to the filthy mangers.
I was at the end of my tether, and unfortunately I am not religious.
I camped a little before sundown at a small open place to tether the horses.
He had reached the end of his tether, must get to water soon or give up the fight.
late 14c., "rope for fastening an animal," probably from Old Norse tjoðr "tether," from Proto-Germanic *teudran (cf. Danish tøir, Swedish tjuder, Old Frisian tiader, Middle Dutch tuder, Dutch tuier "line, rope," Old High German zeotar "pole of a cart"), from PIE root *deu- "to fasten" + instrumentive suffix *-tro-. Figurative sense of "measure of one's limitations" is attested from 1570s.
late 15c., from tether (n.). Related: Tethered; tethering.

HERSHEY, PA -- Hershey Co. is introducing its Lancaster confectionery brand in the U.S. It will premiere with a line of caramel soft crèmes in January.
The Lancaster brand marks the first time in 30 years that the chocolate giant has introduced a brand that is not of an acquisition or an extension of an existing trademark.
Lancaster Soft Crèmes will be available in the U.S. in three flavors: caramel, vanilla and caramel, and vanilla and raspberry. They will be packaged in 4-oz. bags that retail for $2.49 and 8-oz. bags that retail for $3.99.
The caramels were inspired by similar candies Milton Hershey made in his original confection company, the Lancaster Caramel Co. The Lancaster, PA-based company served as the springboard for Hershey, which first produced sweet chocolate as a coating for the caramels before creating its renowned milk chocolate bar.
Earlier this year, Hershey introduced the Lancaster brand in China, marking the first time a brand launch originated outside of the United States.

Timing Properties
Minimum time to wait
Assume you have a function startup that takes a certain time to do its job, but is not signaling when it is ready. When testing something depending on this startup function, you may need to wait a pre-defined time, since there is no way to observe that startup has finished.
The following test code illustrates this idea. One has a startup function that returns a process identifier. One can send a message to that process in order to see if the process is ready, but if you send it too early, the message is ignored by the process and you will wait for a reply forever.
test_mything() -> Pid = startup(), timer:sleep(2245), true = ready(Pid). ready(Pid) -> Pid ! {ready,self()}, receive {done,Pid} -> true after 20 -> false end.
The code in the function ready ensures that if startup was not completed and therewith the reply never send, the test fails.
Instead of a sleep, one could probably poll with the function ready until a value *true* was returned. After that, the proper test can be executed. However, we have seen situation in which sending a message too early, *causes the startup process to crash*.
We want the value in which we wait for startup to complete as little as possible. That is, it should always succeed, but should wait no longer than necessary, in particular not if we run hundreds of tests. In order to find this minimal value, we can manually run a lot of tests, but we could also use QuickCheck's shrinking to give us that value!
Assume we look for a value between 1 and 3 seconds. The following property fails if we do not wait long enough for the startup function to finish.
prop_minimum_wait_for_startup() -> ?FORALL(T,minimum(1000,3000), begin Pid = startup(), timer:sleep(T), ready(Pid) end). %% Try Tmin, if that fails, shrink to Tmax minimum(Tmin,Tmax) -> ?LET(T,shrink_int(0,Tmax-Tmin,Tmax-Tmin),Tmax-T).
The generator minimum takes two values, a minimum and a maximum. It will first try the minimum value. Make sure the tests fails on that value, otherwise nothing will happen! After that the minimum value failed, the value is shrunk. It will start with the maximum value and slowly shrink down to the minimum. The idea is that the maximum should succeed, but somewhere in between there is a local maximum for which the test fails.
After having found out what the minimum time is, one should record this in a test case, such that future tests fail if the timing property changes.
-define(wait_for_startup,2245). tc_minimum_wait_for_startup() -> [MinimumWait] = eqc:counterexample(prop_minimum_wait_for_startup()), MinimumWait =< ?wait_for_startup.
Now one can safely use the macro ?wait_for_startup in other test cases that depend on the startup function to be ready.

Using patented technology developed to help astronauts adapt to extreme temperature fluctuations, this down pillow helps prevent overheating and eliminates chills around the head and neck. Millions of invisible microcapsules inside the pillow shell absorb excess heat when you are hot and release heat when you are cold to maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity. Unlike lesser down pillows that are stuffed with small down clusters from young waterfowl, this pillow is filled with large down plumules from fully-grown birds, creating a more supple cushion. The down compresses to contour to the shape of your head and neck for optimal support and quickly reverts to its original shape when you raise your head. The pillow's gusset allows the down to expand and achieve its fullest loft and the 100% hypoallergenic cotton shell is smooth to the touch. Standard Medium-Firm. For those who sleep on their sides. 17 oz. of down.
Lifetime Guarantee
The Temperature Regulating Down Pillow (Standard Medium-Firm Density) comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Report: We had a light crowd onboard today as it seems that most of the fishermen it the harbor this morning opted for blackfish. A stop between the channels was short lived as the lack of fish prompted Rob to head south to the Shrewsbury Rocks. He mentioned that there would be fish there, but that they would prove difficult to catch, and as usual, he was right. We arrived just after 9:00 AM to a sky filled with working birds and the fish swirling on top of the water as they chased the large sandeels to the surface. They were difficult to catch as the majority of the fares soon found out, but they are catchable. I fished hard today for 8 bass, with 3 being keepers, one of which drained the pool. We left them biting with the birds still in the air @ 1:30. Hopefully they will settle down and the bite should be on. Tight Lines! TINKNOCKER
