8 Vikings-Seahawks Storylines To FollowPosted by on October 31, 2012 – 6:39 am
Wednesday is finally here, which means the NFL calendar flips from last week to this week. For the Vikings, who are coming off a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home last Thursday night, that's a good thing.
This weekend the 5-3 Vikings travel to Seattle for a contest against the 4-4 Seahawks. Both teams are hungry for a win after losses in Week 9. Here are a few storylines we'll be chasing this week…
1. Can Vikings Contain "Lynchpin" of Seahawks Offense?
Ordinarily the Vikings are a great run-stopping defense. Over the last three games, though, poor gap integrity and shoddy tackling have plagued the Vikings. The Vikings will have serious problems on Sunday if they don't fix those issues because Marshawn Lynch will have no mercy. Lynch is the NFL's 2nd-leading rusher behind Adrian Peterson and he's not an easy guy to tackle. At 5-11, 215 pounds, Lynch has a combination of speed and power that causes defenses fits.
2. All Eyes on Ponder
Fair or not, the blame for the Vikings recent woes in the passing game has generally fallen on the shoulders of QB Christian Ponder. After opening the season with 0 INTs through four games, the 2nd-year passer now has 7 INTs in his last four outings and he's completed just 51.9% of his passes for 309 yards in his last two games. We know Ponder can get the job done by playing well and moving the ball through the air, and now all eyes will be on Ponder to see if he can get things turned around after a few extra days off following the Thursday night loss to Tampa Bay.
3. Familiar Foes
Both the Vikings and Seahawks have players on their team who were significant figures with the other franchise. A trio of former Vikings – Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell, LB Heath Farwell and WR Sidney Rice – will face their former team in the regular season for the first time since leaving the team after the 2010 season. The three helped the Vikings reach the NFC Championship Game after the 2009 season and both Farwell and Rice were named to the Pro Bowl that season.
On the flip side, TE John Carlson left Seattle to come home and join the Vikings via free agency in 2012. In Seattle, Carlson caught 106 passes and 12 touchdowns in his first two seasons, and in 2010 he helped the 7-9 Seahawks upset the defending champion New Orleans Saints in the first round of the playoffs with a pair of touchdown catches.
4. Defending Russell Wilson
Speaking of familiar faces, the Vikings will see one under center for Seattle. Rookie QB Russell Wilson has been a pleasant surprise in the NFL. The 3rd-round pick in last April's draft beat out high-priced free agent Matt Flynn for the starting job coming out of training camp and he's played well in the first half of the season. Vikings coaches are familiar with Wilson because he was the starting QB for Frazier's North squad down in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl. In order to win the game, the Vikings will now need their defensive linemen to become familiar with Wilson by pressuring him constantly and bringing him to the ground.
5. Overcoming the Loss of CB Chris Cook
The Vikings improvement in pass defense was a big reason they jumped out to an impressive 5-3 start in the first half of the season. The presence of Chris Cook, who missed 12 games last year, was a big reason for that improvement. But now, with Cook expected to miss 6-8 weeks with a broken arm, the Vikings will rely on their depth to overcome his loss. Expect Josh Robinson and A.J. Jefferson to get most of the looks, and expect them to play well in Cook's stead.
6. Strength vs. Strength: Battle For Field Position
CenturyLink Field in Seattle is known as one of the toughest places to play for visitors. A big part of overcoming the disadvantage this week for the Vikings will be to win the field position battle. Both the Vikings and Seahawks do things to help them win the field position battle. Percy Harvin (35.7) and Seattle's Leon Washington (29.8) rank 1st and 2nd, respectively, in kickoff return average. Also, the Vikings rank 2nd in average starting field position after kickoff (25.3-yardline) and K Blair Walsh is tied for 1st in touchbacks with 31.
7. What a Rush!
A sneaky-good subplot to this Vikings-Seahawks matchup is a pair of battles that will happen between very good LTs and very good DEs. Vikings DE Jared Allen has a sack in six straight games, and on Sunday he'll go against Seattle LT Russell Okung. The Seahawks took Okung 6th overall in 2010 and he's rounding into a great player on their offensive line. Another outstanding performer for Seattle has been DE Chris Clemons. The 6-3, 254-pound pass-rushing ace has 7.0 sacks this season and had 11.0 sacks in each of the last two years entering 2012. He'll go against 4th overall pick Matt Kalil, who has made a rookie mistake here and there but has generally played extremely well for the Vikings.
8. Second Half of the Season Begins
The Vikings were a surprise team in the NFL through the first half of the season, winning five of eight games and upsetting a pair of playoff teams from a season ago – Detroit and San Francisco. The second half of the season begins for the Vikings, and the attitude inside Winter Park should be that there's no reason they can't be a surprise team in the second half of the season, too. Sure, four of the Vikings final six games are against division opponents and are on the road, but the Vikings have proven they can play with anybody when they play well.

I'm waiting to hear the rumors or latest news on minnesota on the trade news.. either they trade for Amendolia or Steve Smith, or they trade for bowe.. or mayb another big time reciever..
We also need to look to sign a cornerback or maybe a linebacker,
Release our punter and sign a new 1, start jarius wright, and activate Summers to the 53-man roster

Until we get better QB play its not going to matter. I like Ponders upside but his performance over the last three weeks has not been good. Your not going to win in the NFL with an average QB and that is what we have at this time.

The only thing missing on offense is taking some shots down the field. Will you please air it out!!! The few times you have done it to Simp it has turned out great! Why did you stop throwing him the ball?? I just dont get it at all.?? If Simp has one on one coverage on the edge he should get the ball thrown to him every time!!

Put in J Wright…
Line up Simpson and Wright on the outside, with Harvin in the sl ot…First play from the line of scrimmage, if Simpson has single coverage…Have Ponder take a quick 3 step drop…And throw the ball up and over the top for Simpson !!!…
This game isn't "ro cket science" ???…Defenses have been putting "everyone" on the line of scrimmage to stop the offense…And its working…Because the Vikings REFUSE to throw the ball DEEP…
When they do, it works !!!…But they DON"T do it enough…To keep defenses honest ???…
Simple game plan for Seattle…Keep airing out the ball on offense…Until Seattle moves there safeties back…
If that means throwing 6 pa sses of 30-50 yards in the first half of the game…Do it Musgrave !!!…
Last week the Lions threw the ball 49 times…But they WON !!!
The week before…The 49ers ran the ball down the Seahawks thr oats…And WON !!!…
But the game planning needs to be, what the Seahawks are not getting ready for…
The Seahawks will not be expecting the Vikings to pa ss the ball in this game…They will expect a conservative running attack…Because of Ponders recent struggles…
So that is EXACTLY what the Vikings should be game planning for this game…Pa ss the ball a lot early and DEEP…To set up the running game…
But knowing Musgrave and Frazier…I just don't see them doing that…Just to conservative, in their game planning…

Ponder throws a nice deep football. Lots of touch. We need to see alot more of it. Like OTK says, it will not only get you big plays, it will also back up the safeties and open up things underneath for Peterson and Harvin.

Joe webb isn't only a quarter back.. he is also a reciever.. he can be a decent #2 or 3 reciever with his athletic ability,, if he wana be payed big money and be a sure spot on the 53man roster then he need to tell the coaches, man I'm tired of sitting on the sideline.. get me out there some kind of way.. ill play reciever if I have to…
Have he and jarius wright stay after practive every day practice on routes and catching the ball n traffic
By OTKalil2012 on Oct 31, 2012 | Reply
It really doesn't matter…A pass interference call going our way, is the same as a catch…
Pass inference happens…Because the defense didn't have an answer to that play…And had to hold the receiver from getting a big play down the field…
So why not keep going deep…Until the opposing defense adjusts ???…
Every team in the NFL does that…EXCEPT…The Vikings ???
Even an in-completion is okay…It still shows you are thinking "big plays" on offense…And the defense will need to adjust…
Open up the passing game…3 step drop…And whip the ball deep !!!…
Mix in 5 to 7 step drops..And the shotgun formations later…
Catch the Seahawks defense off guard…First play of the game…
Have Ponder see the single coverage on either Simpson of Wright…Quick drop…and launch the ball up and over the top…

Yea OTK,im not a big Jenkins fan myself. Its time to get the rookie JWright out on the field and see what the kid can do. If your not going to play him than why did you draft him??Dont understand that at all??

from USAToday mid season grade:
Minnesota Vikings (B)
It's tough to tell how legit they really are. Coming off Week 8's hugely disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home, they're not giving off the greatest of impressions right now.
How they can get better: Keep feeding Adrian Peterson. He's back from a torn ACL and, while they don't want to run him into the ground, he's their best hope on offense.
Prediction: They'll hang tough, but playing in a difficult division will be their undoing. They just miss the postseason.

We try to air the ball out and we will get our butts handed to us, this will be a grind it out kinda game, only chance we have is to first stop the run, and RUN,RUN,RUN, Seattle wears out when teams control the ball and run it right up the middle, San Fran did exactly that and the Seahawks looked like they couldnt raise there arms by the 4th quarter,Seattle will pick Ponder clean if we get to qute in the passing game…Mark my words if we cannot run the ball sunday we are toast…..

I think if the Seattle defense game plans (which they will), for a conservative Vikings running game (the Vikings use to death, game after game)…
They will stop our offense cold…
And then, when desperation sets in…And Ponder tries throwing the ball…The Seahawks will pin their ears back…And kill Ponder…O-line will get tons of penalties…And Ponder will throw plenty of ints…And get sacked the rest of the day…
And then all the fans will point the finger of blame at Ponder again…For not getting the job done…
I blame coaching…And CONSERVATIVE game planning…

He would sit back there in the pocket, and roast hotdogs over an open fire…Eat them..And still have time to find a receiver down the field !!!…
If Ponder had half the time Culpepper used to waste when he was QB…Ponder would be lighting things up, passing the ball…
Give this young team time to grow…But play loose and have some fun along the way Frazier…
This is one of those games…This team is playing tense…Only bad things happen…When perfection is expected to win, on every play…

First off let the coaches make the decisions. Wright hasn't shown anything more then the other wr's yet. Second do not trade Toby or Griffen very valuable to our team. We need to just keep playing and build through the draft. And pick up few players in free agency. Look at the difference one draft made from last year to this year! Free agency is just as a risk as drafting so take chances with younger talent. This is Ponder's 2nd year and first with normal off season so give him time to grow. Look at Cam Newton huge first year then slump. I would rather have Ponder develop and get better each year. We weren't even suppose to be in it this year and yet we are so be patient. If we don't make playoffs this year then look for even more improvement next year and maybe a Superbowl in 2 seasons. it takes a few seasons of rebuilding to get that kind of team and keep it. Unlike our roster from 09-10.

Our best bet right now is to use Webb as leverage in a trade – Bowe? Joe may have had some good performances when teams aren't expecting him but I'd be willing to bet he would get shut down quickly when teams realize that he's not a strong passer and he runs it way too often. He looks like a weaker version of Ponder from everything I've seen of him.
Ponder is the way forward and totally capable of being a good NFL QB if he gets some stronger players around him. Right now he's getting tons of pressure and then Percy is the only receiver capable of getting open. How much do you expect him to do with that? Everyone is giving up on him so quickly when he's had a better first 2 years than a lot of today's elite QBs did at the start of their careers. Don't believe me? Look at Brees or Eli. PONDER IS NOT THE PROBLEM. People are so short-sighted to think that because he's had a few bad games he's not starting material. Reality check, we're not going to make the playoffs whether it's Ponder or Webb, but Ponder has way more potential looking forward. It's a young team, and with some key draft picks and trades we could be looking at the playoffs a year or two from now.
Vikes made a bad decision at the start of the season cutting Rosenfels and not trading Webb. Even if he wasn't a great player, Sage was an experienced QB who could have mentored CP7 a lot more than Webb can.

I do agree that Webb will not be made into a WR. But the fact that he was drafted in 6th round has nothing to do with it nor does it mean that someone can't be #2 WR.
Marques Colston was drafted in the 7th round and he became a #1 reciever.

How can you say hes not the problem? 2 weeks ago he threw for 58 yards!!Are you kidding me!! Again, i like Ponder and think he will be a good QB but hes got a ways to go. He will be a good one but he just isnt there yet.
By Vikings1 on Oct 31, 2012 | Reply
I have said many times that due to the makeup of our team, "WE" cannot turnover the ball and expect to win because we are not a good come-from-behind team. The defense must correct the problem on run defense and the offense must give Ponder more time on pass plays. On the rumor concerning Steve Smith, don't think they are really interested in him because he is getting long in the tooth, I would rather see them try to pick up Burress as he is a big receiver and get rid of Jenkins and also play Wright, just my 2 cents worth, Go Vikings!!!!!!

Ponder is NOT the way forward (Beefcakes), better open your eyes when the game is on. He is marginaly better than TJack!!! If Ponder is pressured he is like a deer in headlights, you can see the panic set in. We need a QB that can take pressure situations. He is also NOT an inspirational leader. Very clear when Webb had to fill in last year when Ponder got knocked out, you could see the whole offense come together with excitment when he came in. You seen more smiles (from offense) and everyone had more giddyup in their step. This was VERY easy to spot.

autobon7 your foolish. A young quarterback has to learn. Ponder is going to show you and all the other idots on here that want instant success that he can succeed. All the negative arm chair quarterbacks on here want a "first year Cam Newton", soar one year and "crash and burn" the next. or an RG3 who has flashes of brilliance, but when it comes to TEAM success shows off a 3 and 5 record. We have a 5 and 3 record because everybody is playing as a team now and thats good. autobon7 you have no patience whatsoever.

The Vikings just need to force Russel Wilson to throw because he isn't the most accurate qb out there. I'm guessing we pick the ball of plenty of times if we do that. And for Lynch, all we need to do is basic tackling. Wrap us, take out legs don't just hit him! SKOL VIKINGS!!!

As I climbed down from the Quarter Horse, it occurred to me that the Hill Country trail ride had been the perfect way to ease into my visit to the Frio Canyon area
In summer, the Gulf of Mexico turns a vibrant blue-green at South Padre Island. On the shoreline, squealing children splash each other alongside hand-holding couples, and surfers tug their boards out to catch a wave.
Each time I visit the West Texas town of Albany, it seems that the locals mistake me for a resident. I've finally realized that the historic frontier ranching town, just a two-hour drive west of my hoame in Fort Worth, is renowned for a welcoming atmosphere that envelops even folks stopping in just for the weekend.
I've always loved Galveston, and now I have a local connection. My boyfriend's grandmother, Alba Collins, grew up in a tiny house underneath the island's first wooden rollercoaster in the 1930s. And we visit her every so often, spending sunny, summer weekends soaking our toes in the Gulf waters as we listen to her stories about Galveston in earlier days.

The United Teachers of Island Trees would like to take this opportunity to offer our support to Mr. Michael Rich, Mr. Paul Giambona and Mr. Brian Fielding as they attempt to gain positions on the school board of The Island Trees School District. The aforementioned gentlemen possess a similar mindset with regard to our community and the means by which to achieve success. They are enthusiastic and motivated and are prepared to put their ideas in motion if and when they are elected to these very important positions.
It is never the intention, nor will it ever be the intention of the UTIT to speak disparagingly of any board member. It is a thankless, payless job which requires dedication and selflessness. It is not easy to sit before an audience and answer questions with no knowledge of what will be asked. For the efforts of the existing board members, we offer our appreciation and respect. Our opinions are not arrived at by any personal feelings toward any individuals. We simply feel that the gentlemen that are seeking positions on the board are very qualified and are prepared to face the challenges that currently exist.
Mr. Rich, Mr. Giambona and Mr. Fielding have publicly stated how important it is to show support for the teachers and children of this community. The United Teachers of Island Trees will always proudly serve the children of this community. We take great pride in what we do. The children always will come first! It is with great confidence that we anticipate the results of what these gentlemen have vowed. Our appreciation for any board member will remain a constant. No matter the results of the elections on May 20th, the members of the UTIT will be prepared to serve the Island Trees community and work in conjunction with the board of education to achieve success for our students.
Charles Smith, UTIT President
Tom Steinmeyer, UTIT Vice President

FISHKILL, N.Y. -- One fair in the Hudson Valley opened for business Friday night as they had to deal with some unfavorable conditions throughout the week.
As they hurried in, many from all age groups took to the rides Friday night as the Hudson Valley Fair opened for business.
What they saw was everything from monkeys riding on dogs, to the well known funnel cakes. The event draws more than 20,000 people during its three week stop at Dutchess Stadium, which this year falls during the Easter and Passover Holidays.
"You're really busy on Easter or not quite as much," said fair manager Ron Weber, "We'll just have to find out on Sunday."
But many of the fair's Friday night visitors didn't care about finding those colorful Easter eggs, but rather seeing a different side of Mother Nature.
"It was 80 when I got here on Sunday," said Weber, "then it snowed the other day and now it's supposed to be warm this weekend."
So if you're heading out to the fair before or after the holidays, just remember the fair season is open for business.

When Barry Craig was 18, he had a motorcycle accident. After five years of complications with his left arm, which had minimal function after the accident, he had the arm amputated.
41 years later, it hasn't slowed him down.
Shortly after the amputation, he took up skiing.
His father, he recalls, was skeptical.
"My dad never swore, but he asked me, 'Who is going to wipe your ass when you fall down?'," Craig remembers. "So I practiced not falling down."
He ultimately gave up skiing, but he's replaced the pasttime with frisbee golf ("frolf") and pickleball. His teammates call him "Barry the Hammer" and they meet twice weekly at the St. Pete Beach Community Center. Sundays they meet at the St. Petersburg Tennis Club.
"Most people forget that I have one arm after they know me for a while," he says. "It hasn't slowed me down."
Anyone can meet and play Pickleball at the St. Pete Beach Community Center. Barry is one of many players who enjoy the sport, a sort of mini-tennis played with paddles and whiffle balls. The Community Center has a few paddles players can use; the first day costs nothing and each day thereafter costs two dollars. The pickleball group meets Mondays from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. and from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.

Internet Community
In recognition of Veterans Day, people throughout Farmingdale paid tribute to local war heroes last week.
The Farmingdale United Methodist Church (UMC) will host a special Thanksgiving concert this Sunday, Nov. 21, and the entire community is invited to attend.
The Farmingdale Fireballs played in the recent 17th annual East Islip Fall Classic held during Columbus Day weekend. The girls, who are all under 7 years of age, completely dominated their opponents during the weekend tournament. Astonishingly, the girls only gave up a single goal while scoring a total of 25, even though the girls were encouraged to pass up many more scoring opportunities in order to show good sportsmanship.
Farmingdale Village Mayor Joseph Trudden (back row, center) and Farmingdale Village Trustees Dr. Benjamin Giminaro (right of mayor), Vincent Sotis second right of mayor) and Michael Kelly (back row, second from right) helped cut the ribbon at a recent dedication ceremony for the new scoreboard at Howitt Junior High School. The scoreboard was donated to the school by the Farmingdale Hawks, who sold cheesecakes to raise funds for the new addition.

Nids Homepage
Hi my name is Francesco Nidito and I got my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Dipartimento di Informatica of Pisa University in 2008.
During my Ph.D., I worked on topology control and data load-balancing in wireless sensor networks. My Ph.D. thesis is about the influence of non-uniformity in wireless sensor networks: if you are not able to sleep, this is the link.
While still a student, I started working for Ask.com R&D office in Pisa where I worked on multimedia indexing (mainly images) and news search.
For the Image Search, my job was to create and implement new ideas/algorithms for the processing of multimedia content and the features extraction from such documents.
For the News Search, I was one of the maintainers of part of the crawling infrastructure for the videos used in News search.
Moreover, I implemented various systems to monitor the execution of our processing infrastructure: 24/7 thousands of machines.
In November 2009, I joined the Search Technology Center of London working for Bing... yes, another search engine.
Just to maintain the good habits, I continued working on Multimedia search, focusing on the relevance/ranking of the results and on the triggering logic of the Multimedia instant answer (the one that presents images and videos inside the page of web results).
In 2010, I become the Development Lead of the Multimedia relevance team in London.
Apart from my current work and past Ph.D., I am also interested in Operating Systems topics such as multi-threading and concurrency; Object Oriented programming; scripting and meta-programming (both template meta-programming and generative programming).
My last post, after too much time, is again about programming… in the practical sense: Minesweeper in Perl/Tk. I was stuck one day at home and I decided to implement Minesweeper in Perl and Tk. Probably not worth the effort and the time but it was fun!

All that glitters is not gold--in fact, it's better than that
Costume jewellery has a fabulous fashion history
Nathalie Atkinson, National Post
Runway fashion has a long history of fabulous fakes, dating back to Elizabeth I, who was often laden with bold and beautiful imitation diamonds set in alloys of brass, zinc, tin and lead that resembled glinting gold. But in her book Costume Jewellery for Haute Couture (The Vendome Press, $90), author Florence Muller argues that costume jewellery only came to legitimate prominence in fashion houses and on the runway during the Jazz Age. When Coco Chanel scoffed at traditional fine jewellery and wore outrageous, large paste pieces instead, she turned the tide and women began mixing real with faux. Muller is the curator and director of the Musee des Arts de la Mode (the Louvre's fashion branch), and she would know.
Muller's gorgeous book revisits the incredibly creative work of bygone paruriers, or costume jewellers, such as Herve van der Straeten (who did work for Biba and Lagerfeld), Elsa Triolet and Lina Baretti (both for Schiaparelli), Roger Scemama (Yves Saint-Laurent, Jacques Fath and Dior) and countless others.
One of the most prolific houses to create elaborate costume jewellery was Maison Gripoix, which worked early on with Maison Chanel, then Dior, Saint-Laurent and Givenchy. Their baubles and brooches are inextricably associated with the looks of their era. There are fine examples of Austrian crystal house Swarovski's more elaborate work, with golden metal cylinders and baguette crystals by Coppola e Toppo for Valentino runway shows, and Lina Baretti's faux-pearl, velvet and cut crystal necklaces resembling diamante tribal teeth, or pleated silk and cork studded with crystals -- so edgy and cool that even now they easily make you forget about diamonds.
Kenneth Jay Lane Gunmetal Octopus Ring: Just the sort of off-kilter glam we've come to love from Kenneth Jay Lane.
In Canada, runway shows also translate into marketing opportunities for established jewellery designers who work with ready-to-wear designers. Rita D.'s crystal confections adorned necks at Nada's show Tuesday at Toronto's Fashion Week and, for those paying attention, there were also glimpses of new designs during the models' brief walk up and down the runway.
Stylists and fashion designers are always on the lookout for new talent to freshen up their presentations, and that's exactly how emerging jewellery artist Susie Love's clear acrylic bubble cuffs ended up in David Dixon's Fashion Week show yesterday.
Dixon had been looking for colourless acrylic to accessorize his classic tailoring and both the designer and his stylist, Peter Fitt, spotted Love's chunky wrists at Fashion magazine's 30th-anniversary party earlier this month. "I go out in an army of my jewellery," Love laughs. "Lucky for me."
Love's funkier pieces are carried at designer Ula Zukowska's Toronto boutique, so her pieces will get a second cameo tonight during Zukowska's runway show.
Love also has a tiny kiosk in the Fashion Week tents, and the exposure on and off the runway has been a boon to business. Stylish passersby are snapping up her twisted tube heart pendants, repeating knot necklaces and bubble cuffs, all in clear, melting acrylic (the more avant-garde choose those with junk-find inclusions like bits of feather, dried flowers, shells and fossilized dinosaur dung).

Michael Keane enjoyed an action-packed season – playing for United's first team, enjoying a fine loan spell with Leicester City and earning silverware with the Under-21s. He spoke exclusively with Inside United about his progress..
How pleased were you with the loan spell at Leicester?
It's been a great experience for me. I've played every game since I came here in January. It's been tough for me physically but I have learned how to cope with my body and perhaps play against different types of strikers. I think I have definitely improved in my time there and I think I've done very well.
Can no amount of Under-21 football prepare you for playing at Championship level?
I think it's completely different playing in front of big crowds every week and actually playing for proper points in the league, looking for promotion. We came up against a lot of difficult teams and other teams who play football. It's really good experience handling lots of different types of tactics and other factors which can only help me in the future.
You knew some of the lads at Leicester and Jesse Lingard initially went with you. Did that help?
Yes, when I first came over in November, it helped with Jesse being here to integrate with all the lads. I knew Matty James, Ritchie De Laet and Danny Drinkwater as well so that also helped me. The lads were really nice to me and I've made some good friends there. Everybody really helped so I think that was a big part of being able to settle in so quickly and playing well for them.
You were even on the shortlist for the club's Player of the Year award..
I know and I wasn't expecting that, only being here for half a season. It's a good honour and shows I've done well. I was really happy with that and pleasantly surprised. Wes Morgan won it and Kasper Schmeichel was the other one so we must've been doing something right at the back.
How is Kasper's career coming along?
To be honest, he's unbelievable in training. His kicking is just a joke. Seriously! I think he's got a really good future ahead of him. He is still young and is a great shot-stopper while, like I've said, his kicking is just unbelievable. I think he has a really good future.

Beware of Facebook Scam Claiming 'Free' Kohl's Gift Card for Taking Survey
If you have Facebook, you've probably seen one of your friends claiming to have earned a $100 gift card from Kohl's just for taking a survey. Don't believe it.
If you have Facebook, you've probably seen one of your friends claiming to have earned a $100 gift card from Kohl's just for taking a survey. Don't believe it.
This morning I received a notice that the horrible 'Kill Kendall Jones' page had been removed.
Yet another reason to be careful about what you post on facebook.
If you're new to Facebook, you may not know about the new fad a posting a 'Throwback Thursday'.
Patrick Snay was the former head of a private preparatory school in Miami. At the age of 69, his contract with Gulliver Preparatory School wasn't renewed, which led to a legal battle.
In November 2011, Snay and the school reached an agreement in which Snay would receive $10,000 in back pay and $80,000 as part of a settlement. The Gulliver schools also agreed to pay Snay's attorneys $60,000.
I after seeing a TV commercial urging men to buy that 'special someone' in their life a giant teddy bear--to show how much they loved them--I posed this question to all my female Facebook friends: 'Do you really want a big teddy bear for Valentines Day?
I had a phone call from a friend recently. He wanted to do something that is long overdue.
What's that? You say it's time to wish your BFF, Aunt Phyllis or pet rock a happy birthday? Well, bust out the presents and bring on the cake! Better yet, send her an awesome birthday GIF or video. But don't settle for for the ones every will be sending. Have some fun. Here are some great birthday-themed greetings and video clips to give again and again, no wrapping paper required.
If you've been cruising Facebook over the past three days you might have noticed your friend's profile pictures turning into giraffes.
I had the excellent opportunity to speak with Andrew Strugnell, the man behind the recent giraffe craze that's taking over the social media site.
You may be annoyed with some of the things your friends are posting on Facebook and Twitter about the 'Breaking Bad' finale. We are too, and thus decided to offer up a list of some of the most irritating reactions people are having towards the finale of (un)arguably the greatest show of all time.

I mentioned how much fun I'm having with my Nintendo 3DS before. However after I bought another game and discovered that not all the boxes are super funky, my excitement wore off a bit. That was until I discovered Nintendo Swapnote.
Swapnote is a simple little program that allows you to swap notes. The clue is in the name, unless you got it in the UK, it's known as Nintendo Letter Box there. Or Japan for that matter, where it's called Itsuno Mani Koukan Nikki, a name which just rolls off the tongue.
The notes themselves are split into up to 4 pages and the program animates the note as it was written by the sender, it's interesting to see how other people draw and how everyone has different writing styles. Sound and pictures taken with the 3DS's camera can also be added. Little backgrounds (known as stationary) can also be used and add a little more animation to the piece. These all have their limitations though, you can't manually edit the formatting of the pictures and can only add 5 second sound clips. The actual drawing is limited to black and white too, although you can write in 3D, which is fun to mess about with.
All in all this app doesn't have very much reason for existing, other than the fact that it is fun to use. After I added a few like-minded people to my 3DS friends list it became a kind of ridiculous version of Twitter. A version of Twitter without all the news discussion, advice and useful internet links, it was all boiled down to some people writing some silly messages (in 3D). As an example, one morning I opened up my 3DS to see this message, the delightful silliness of it brightened up my day.
Being a resourceful chap, I wondered to myself whether I could somehow find some sort of proper use for Swapnote and I remembered my kanji study. I'd put my kanji study off for a while but found that coming up with silly ways to remember these things was really enjoyable.
What better way to express these ridiculous mnemonics than with a 3D note swapping program by Nintendo? Due to the note's animation you can see the stoke order of the kanji and I can attempt to draw the picture living in my head. Said picture, the result of my odd imagination, helps me to remember the kanji.
So I bought a new kanji book, began the slow process of learning more kanji and started writing a few little swapnotes. Some of the ideas I used for them have already mentioned on this website but it is all good practice for me so it doesn't matter. Simply because I can, I uploaded a few of the notes that I've done to YouTube so I can place them here. Obviously you can't view them in 3D, you will simply have to miss out unless you get hold of a 3DS system. Which I, of course, recommend you do.
Without further ado. Let's learn some kanji…

Fresh Growth for TruGreen franchise
Leading lawn care service provider TruGreen is delighted to be expanding its network of UK franchisees with the addition of five new businesses covering Bromley, South Oxfordshire, South Berkshire, South Bedfordshire and Cheltenham and the Cotswolds.
The growth of the network has been attributed in part to the renewed focus within the business as the new franchisees all join TruGreen at an exciting time following the recent addition of former Wembley Head Groundsman, Steve Welch as Network Manager; along with the launch of the new look TruGreen branding.
Steve comments; "We have worked hard within ServiceMaster over the last few months to refine the TruGreen franchise model and to ensure we are offering the most comprehensive support package to both existing and new franchisees. It's very much a team approach and the combined effort of our sales, marketing and technical support teams is producing some impressive results."
Each of the new business owners has had their TruGreen vehicle wrapped in the striking fresh livery and having completed the TruGreen Training Academy in March are all ready to get started on spring lawn treatment programmes.
Mark Ellis joins TruGreen following a career as a Lettings Negotiator and decided on TruGreen having investigated several other lawn care franchises as he was impressed with the support structure in place. He aims to be in a strong position to expand his business and increase his workforce by 2011.
TruGreen was recommended to Paul Taylor by a friend who is an existing franchisee and having worked for many years as an assistant groundsman he had no hesitation in investing in TruGreen of South Oxfordshire.
Les Liberda had used a competitor lawn care provider to look after his own gardens for some time. Having been made redundant in 2009 and with a strong background in sales he decided that a lawn care franchise would be an option worth investigating. Les looked into several opportunities through both national and local franchises and decided on TruGreen as he felt the on-going support package would be a long term benefit.
Les Graves found TruGreen via an internet search and bought into TruGreen South Bedfordshire as he was impressed with the level of experience and industry knowledge within ServiceMaster (the franchisor) and felt that TruGreen offered a great business model.
Rob Edmunds joins TruGreen due to his love of the great outdoors as he feels the franchise will enable him to work outdoors in his own business. He intends to develop his area in Cheltenham and the Cotswolds into a multi van operation in time.
Pictured, numbered from left to right are:

Something the Jonas Brothers messed up. Poser lingo for the internet slang word 'pwned' as in being owned or disgraced by someone else.

a misspelled form of the misspelled word "pwned." usually said by 12 year old Jonas Brothers fans who are complete tools of the Jonas Brothers. Jonas Brothers also take credit for the creation of "poned" when really it was formed on the internet.

To ram in the ass; to buttfuck in a gay or lesbian manner. Not to be confused with the word pwned as they do in fact mean two entirely different things.
I poned you (I buttfucked you).
You just suffered some major ponage! (You just suffered some major ass-rammage).

Tire shops were busy Tuesday, as drivers across Southern Colorado brought in their cars to get the tires checked, and in some cases, changed.
The taste of winter that hit right at the end of Summer serves as a good reminder for us all. Winter is not far away, and it is important to make sure your vehicle is ready for the conditions.
Along with making sure your tires are up to par, it is a good idea to check your vehicle's emergency kit, just in case you get stranded in a severe storm.

CaptionsTata Sabaya Volcano, Bolivia
Tata Sabaya, a stratovolcano located in the Altiplano region of Bolivia, rises to a summit elevation of 5430 meters above sea level. While its current form is that of a youthful stratovolcano, the regional geological evidence indicates an older, eventful history. Prior to approximately 12,000 years ago (during the late Pleistocene Epoch) a large debris avalanche was formed by collapse of the ancestral Tata Sabaya volcano. Debris from the avalanche swept into the nearby Salar de Coipasa at that time filled with a lake larger than today significantly changing its northwestern coastline. Timing of the event is obtained from tufa deposits formed on debris islands during a high stand of the Coipasa lake illustrating the geological principle of cross-cutting relationships, in that the debris avalanche had to have occurred before the tufa deposits were formed in the lake.
The Tata Sabaya stratovolcano is located at image center in this astronaut photograph from the International Space Station. Several young lava flows are visible on the northwestern and western flanks of the volcano. Peaks visible to the northeast and southwest appear to be volcanoes as well, but unlike Tata Sabaya there is no record of recent activity from either of them (according to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural Historys Global Volcanism Program). As the climate of the Altiplano became more arid and the Coipasa Lake shrank, much of the hummocky terrain of the debris avalanche became exposed over an area of more than 300 square kilometers. The hummocky terrain is clearly visible at image right. White salt deposits of the salar surround many of the individual hummocks, making them islands once again.

Watershed Tidbits
- In early French maps the White River is shown as Ouabisipi ou R. Blanche. The Ottawa's name for the river was waba-sippi (meaning White River). Suspended clay particles from marl deposits cause the river to appear "whitish".
- In 1945, the Huron National Forest and the Manistee National Forest were administratively combined into the Huron-Manistee National Forest, a forest "united by rivers." The Huron-Manistee National Forest makes up 23% of the watershed.
- A little over half of the watershed is forested (about 200,000 acres).
- In 1975 the White River became the fifth state river designated under the Natural Rivers Act.
- The watershed contains a number of rare and endangered habitats including coastal plain marshes, bogs, dry sand prairies, barrens, wet meadows, and mesic prairies.
