1. Cornerback Rod Sweeting wore No. 40 in the game in honor of Julian Burnett.
2. The team wore navy jerseys, the first time Tech has done that since 2010.
3. B-back David Sims was held out of the game as a precautionary measure as he recovers from a stress fracture in his shin. A-back Orwin Smith, who injured his shoulder against Virginia Tech, played on a limited basis.
Offensive tackle Morgan Bailey, who was questionable, did not play. Coach Paul Johnson said Bailey "said he couldn't go" during practice this week. He is coming back from a high-ankle sprain.
4. Wide receiver Anthony Autry and defensive end Adam Gotsis, both true freshmen, played for the first time. B-back Broderick Snoddy was among a handful of redshirt freshmen who also got their first action. Snoddy ran six times for 13 yards and scored on a two-yard run.
"It was good to have a game where you could get those guys out there and hopefully now the next time they go out there, they won't be as wide-eyed and doing some silly stuff at times," Johnson said.
5. Johnson was not aware of any player getting hurt with the possible exception of inside linebacker Daniel Drummond, who re-tweaked an ankle injury.
"We'll know more [Sunday]," Johnson said.

Jacksonville boasts an impressive number of extremely experienced and skilled eye surgeons who specialize in improving the visual acuity of patients over the age of 40 who suffer from cataracts and/or presbyopia. Both cataracts and presbyopia are age-related vision impairments. A cataract is the clouding of the eyes natural lens that leads to blurry vision. In order to achieve better vision, the cataract-affected lens must be extracted from the eye through cataract surgery. Presbyopia, on the other hand, is the loss of the eyes focusing power, which occurs naturally over time. Individuals who suffer from presbyopia have a hard time seeing up close. Top Jacksonville cataract surgeons offer a range of presbyopia treatment options that enhance the eyes focusing power, thereby improving vision.
Refractive cataract surgery is a customized treatment that involves extracting the eyes natural lens and replacing it with an artificial implant known as intraocular lens (IOL). Most Jacksonville cataract surgeons offer an array of IOLs that can be used to correct a range of visual impairments, including presbyopia. Depending on your visual needs, your Jacksonville cataract surgeon may recommend a toric IOL, which corrects astigmatism, a multifocal IOL to improve vision at various distances or an accommodating IOL, also known as presbyopia-correcting lens implant. The most popular IOL brand names include AcrySof Toric, ReSTOR, Tecnis Multifocal and Crystalens. To learn more about refractive cataract surgery and your IOL options, please locate an experienced, board-certified ophthalmologist in Jacksonville to schedule a consultation appointment.
In addition to cataract surgery and presbyopia treatment, many Jacksonville eye surgeons also offer laser vision correction procedures such as LASIK surgery and PRK. Laser eye surgery procedures have helped millions of individuals achieve 20/20 vision or better, often without the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses. Besides eye care, some eye surgeons in Jacksonville also perform facial rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid surgery, Botox injections, laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing and similar cosmetic procedures of the face.
Jacksonville is the largest city in the state of Florida. Located in beautiful Duval County, Jacksonville is home to a number of gifted refractive surgeons who attract patients seeking to restore their vision from across the state and the nation. While in Jacksonville for cataract surgery, patients often explore numerous attractions the city has to offer, including the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, the Friendship Fountain, the Riverplace Tower and the renowned Dames Point Bridge. Recognized as one of the most culturally diverse cities in Florida, Jacksonville offers a range of cultural events throughout the year. Performing arts groups such as the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra are also quite popular among Jacksonville visitors. Among its many natural assets, Jacksonville has the largest urban park system in the country as well as miles of sandy beached and scenic waterways.

Hello. I have had a succession of Panasonic Lumix cameras, and several years ago Sam's club was closing out the DMC-ZS1, and I bought one. It's been a real delight to use, but when the ZS-19 came out I started drooling and waiting for a new model to come out so the price would drop on the ZS-19. The feature that really attracts me is being able to do panoramas with the camera simply by moving it, and right now I am using Panorama Maker 5 which is a lot more work than panning a camera! The price on the ZS-19 is starting to drop, but yesterday I just found out that the ONLY way the 20X optical zoom feature works is in the Intelligent Auto (iA) mode, and if you switch it to Program mode, which is what I normally use, the 20X zoom feature is only a DIGITAL zoom!! So for a 20X digital zoom shot, you are losing 95% of your resolution and pixels!! This is completely unacceptable, so the ZS-19 is out!!
The question I have concerns the ZS-19's cheaper sibling, the DMC ZS15 with 16x optical zoom, 12.1 instead of 14.1 megapixels, and no touch screen. (I have huge hands and fingers, so a 3" touch screen is an invitation to total frustration.) My question is as follows: Does the ZS15 allow the 16X optical zoom to work in Program mode, or is it cursed like its bigger brother to only offer optical zoom capabilities if you chose the IA mode and get your picture Panasonic's way?? I would be very grateful if anybody with some experience with a ZS-15 could give me a definitive answer to this question.
Seismic Sam
I don't know where you've got the information that you can only use 20x digital zoom in program mode? The ZS19 has a 20x optical zoom lens, and you can use the optical zoom in any mode.
The ZS19 is the same as the ZS20, but without GPS. The ZS20 is called the TZ30 in the UK (and Europe), and you can find our review here:
Hope this helps,
Thank you very much Josh!! There is apparently a bad review running around loose about 3 levels down on some website that gives that incorrect information, and when I went to Target much to my surprise the sales associate who helped me confirmed that information (?!?), which was a real bummer. Obviously, he must have run into the same bad info I did. It's 9 AM here, so thank you for making my day!!
As an aside, it appears that the nextgen Lumix is on the horizon, and it apparently is equipped with Wi-Fi, whose purpose confused me at first, but I came to find out that it allows people to instantly send their shots in original form without any fine tuning or cropping to all their Facebook (and perhaps Twitter?) friends in the heat of the moment. Just what every one needs in their Inbox in the morning: six pictures of someone else's baby drooling on their stuffed toy... Technology is becoming an increasingly sharp double edged sword..

The Epiphany is an ancient Christian festival and is important in a number of ways. In some region, the Epiphany celebrates the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. In some other region, this day refers to the visit of the magi (wise men) to the infant Jesus when God revealed himself to the world through the manifestation of Jesus. This day also celebrates Jesus' birth. The traditional color for Epiphany is white, which signifies peace, purity and holiness.

Favre or no Favre, Vikings should win NFC NorthPosted on June 4th, 2009 – 9:25 AM
By Mark Craig
While wondering whatever happened to Rex Daniel Grossman III, let's take the last look in our stroll through the eight divisions.
The NFC N…AVRE, er North.
The division winner could be determined based on what the old man in Mississippi decides to do.
Then again, if you really break down the division, the Vikings won it last year without father Favre. Why can't they win it again without him?
Yeah, it's a new year, but the Vikings, with or without Favre, should be good enough to win the NFC North. (As for being good enough to advance in the playoffs, we'll leave that argument for another time).
Here's why:
. The Lions are awful and rebuilding everything, including their super scary new logo, so count them out. That's an easy one.
. The Packers are coming off a 6-10 season and are rebuilding a bad defense with a completely new philosophy. Their best defensive player, Aaron Kampman, will be playing out of position, and two rookies, NT B.J. Raji and OLB Clay Matthews, will be counted on heavily.
. The Bears are coming off a 9-7 season and have their best quarterback in decades in Jay Cutler. But if a good quarterback has no one to play catch with, is he still a good quarterback? Plus, the NFL frowns on pass rushers using walkers, so Chicago's old-timers might have to continue standing there and doing nothing, like they did all last season.
I know Brett needs to be coddled. He needs to be told he's the greatest and Ted Thompson is the eternal enemy of all mankind. I do think the Vikings should sign Favre if he's healthy enough to play. But for purposes of this discussion, I also think the Vikings should win the NFC North with or without him.
They have the league's best running back (Adrian Peterson), not to mention crucial depth at that position; the best defensive line; a nice mixture of talent at receiver (Bernard Berrian and now Percy Harvin); and a now-underrated tight end (Vinsanthe Shiancoe). The offensive line is a question mark because of new faces at center and right tackle.
And, of course, QB has been the one massive issue since 2006. Sage Rosenfels and/or Tarvaris Jackson can succeed 80 percent of the time by just not messing up. But it's that 20 percent when they'll have to make a play that could determine the success or failure of the season.
The Vikings won the division last year with Gus Frerotte and T-Jack. And I'd consider Sage an upgrade over Gus because Sage can actually move his feet to avoid getting easily mugged.
Some other thoughts …
. In Chicago, coach Lovie Smith is taking control of the aging, 21st-ranked defense. Someone is getting a little nervous about being 16-16 and 0-0 in the playoffs since appearing in the Super Bowl.
. Is it me or did the Bears take a great return man (Devin Hester) and make him an average return man who's a below-average receiver?
. Does anyone really think Daunte Culpepper is going to start more games than Matthew Stafford this season? Sorry, Daunte. It's cool that you lost those 30 pounds, but how in the world do the Lions sell themselves to their fans without the hope that No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford provides. Several new faces were added on defense. To generate any kind of excitement for the team, the Lions have to get Stafford up and running with veteran WR Calvin Johnson and fellow first-round draft pick TE Brandon Pettigrew ASAP.
. Yeah, Cutler cost the Bears two first-rounders and a third-rounder. Yeah, he was a Pro Bowl player last year. But will he make an immediate impact with few weapons and a shaky offensive line?
. With that in mind, until I see Cutler in the Bears' offense, I'd have to say the best quarterback in the division going into the season is Aaron Rodgers. Two years ago, the Packers were 13-3 and made the NFC title game with Favre. Last year, they were 6-10 without Favre, but nobody blamed the collapse on Rodgers. That tells you how well he played. He completed 63.6 percent of his passes for 4,038 yards, 28 TDs and 13 interceptions. He has a year of experience and good skill players around him. If the offensive line fills its many holes, Rodgers could have an even better season this year.
. Is Brad Childress' job in jeopardy? Basically, all coaches are in danger every year. Just look at what has happened the past two years. Guys who have won Super Bowls (Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden, Brian Billick) have all been fired. I DO NOT expect Childress to be fired. BUT … if he misses the playoffs with a relatively healthy team or goes one-and-done at home in the playoffs again, the pressure to fire him and start over with one of the many big-name coaches who are available will be strong. He knows that's part of the job.

alright first one to comment
There isn't enough Kool-aid to make me believe the Vikings will ever be competitive let alone win a Super Bowl.
The Lions have a new log? They can carry "scary new logs" out on the field? Well, whatever the NFL can do to help that terrible defense.
Bears gave up WAY too much for Cutler. They are shaky in several areas and have no depth, especially the skill positions on offense. Too many eggs in one basket, they're screwed.
Who needs Favre??? We have T-Jack to throw the Interceptions & Sage to do the Helicopter Fumbles.
Fire Childress First.. Hire Billick or Mike Shanahan to run this offense, Then we have a chance.
If you look at the talent pool of this division, the Vikings should take the cake. BUT of course as we all know nothing ever goes as it should for Minnesota sports teams. Proceed with cautious optimism with our beloved Queens!
Why are MN sports fans' goals always so modest? The point of the article is that the Vikes can win the NFC North without Favre. But is it really only the Vikings' goal to beat out 3 other teams? (3 below-avg teams) Winning the division: Big Deal!
here is the deal did everybody forget that we one at least 4 games that we shouldnt have, both games against detroit you remember the fire childress chants right, the game against the saints and the game against the giants. i wont get into the details but we could have easily been 6-10 so that being said are head coach and o.c. stink so unless the new guys make that big of a difference without the williams wall for 4 games, we better hope we get a HEALTHY favre here people are silly not to want him he was having a mvp year last year until he got hurt and the year b4 he should have been mvp with gb being the youngest team that year. so unless p. harvin is randy moss and we dont miss the williams wall and our o line does fine without birk and gels well togethere we better hope we get a HEALTHY favre otherwise this team is going nowhere sorry to say it.
I agree with oddsmakers that predict a very tight race again in the NFC North, especially against the Bears and possibly also the Packers. If the Vikings get Favre, I think they become the clear favorite.
It sure looks like Craig is worried about the Bears. As he should be, they'll be the only team giving the Vikes competition this year
We will always be a second rate team until management gets a better coach. The quarterback situation does not matter.
If you're gonna write the Packers off, June is the time to do it. Maybe people will forget the prediction of Vikings divisional supremacy by the time it falls flat in the face of cold reality. Teams with bad quarterbacks generally don't win as often as you'd think they would. No matter how you cut it, the Vikes look like the Bears did a few years ago: Good team, vanilla QB. And you saw how far that got them.
If the Bears almost made the playoffs last year, if they win in Houston they are in and the Vikes are out, and it was with Orton and the same rec corp, wouldn't logic say that with Cutler, an obvious better QB then Orton, the Bears will improve, including an upgraded line? This is such a "homer" view of the division, heck, GB isn't a 6-10 team, I wouldn't be surprised if they won the divison, and in terms of aging D, the Bears only have 2 players over 30 on the D, Urlacher at 30 and Ogunleye at 32 I think, I think the Vikes have the oldest D by ave, honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if GB won this division this year.
Once again the writers are talking playoffs for the Vikes. But as always the Vikes will find a way to blow it. Whether it's bizarre time management or goofy play calling or off-the-field antics, the Vikes will step on their equipment. Keep in mind the massive defensive line might be missing a couple of plugs for 1/4 of the season–and don't discount that the opponents for those games are crummy. Viking fans have been disappointed since the founding of the franchise and there is no reason that this misfortune will magically cease. Get your crying towels out and of course get your excuses ready why the purple boys will flop as usual.
As a Packer fan, I surely hope that the Vikes take Favre in what would be his 6th annual final season. His arm is as tired as his act. Next thing, the Packers will be getting Fran Tarkington out of retirement.
BigGuy…was wondering the same thing about the comment on the Bears DE's. Strahan was on a SB winning team 2 years ago. Don't need to mention all of the Steelers starter that rush the passer are on the other side of 30. Seymour was a young player..but then you have McGinest on the other side of him.
"If the Bears almost made the playoffs last year, if they win in Houston they are in and the Vikes are out"
Big Guy – You lose all credibility with that statement. Vikes are NFC North champs whether Bears win or lose that game. If Bears win, Philly is out of the playoffs.
Hey shut the hell up, your not funny. Take your 1995 jokes back to Wisconsin douche
Styles, winning the division guarantees a spot in the playoffs. Minnesota sports fans are smart enough to know that you need to participate in the playoffs to get to the big game, are you?
With Klink at the helm, winning the NFC North is not guaranteed.
imagine if shanahan was our coach? ap would crush the single season rushing record!
Big Vikes fan, but if Packers fix the D even moderately, they should be favorites. That offense looked very solid and I think Rodgers will be better than Stafford and Cutler. Vikes better hope JDB makes big progress over the next two years so we can compete with AP, K-Will, J-Allen, and EJ all in their prime. Or else trade for a good 24-year-old QB soon. The future depends on it.
I think that we should NOT jump to conclusions on the other NFC north teams. ASSUMING they are going to be easy to beat, could very well make us TOO over confident….which sometimes ends up being a mistake! Assuming that the other team is a tough team, makes OUR team work harder…THAT'S how we need to think!
Without a "quarterback" defenses will key on AP, every-single-play! Let's keep AP alive for a long while. A legitimate qb will help in doing that!
you guys hve no life just setting here and leaving comments all day long dont you guys have jobs
In order for this team to have any success, the architect of this "kick ass" offense needs to have his ass kicked right out of town. Brett Favre will have no more or less success than fellow washed-up Viking QB one-and-done's Archie Manning or Jim McMahon. When will we stop the great MN Elderly QB experiment? Get a real coach, with a real staff, and go buy a prooven young QB. Do it fast before the rest of the team misses their window of opportunity, as many other posters have already pointed out.
I personally like the Letterman story hinting that Kim Jong-IL might joinng the Vikings this year at the QB position. Maybe the North Koreans could invent him a nuclear powered football?? This guy bowled a perfect game and shot a 38 under par for Pete's sake!! He is our answer!!! Don't let him get away!!!
They can't win the division with or without Farve. The whole organization is so screwed up that they will be lucky to make it to all the right towns for the away games. This is one of the worst professional sports organizations….They are just lucky that that the Lions have kept the focus off of them for the past few years. For me….fall will bring week after week of not watching, attending or listening to games.
And how does one correctly pronounce Favre anyways? That one still confuses me……….
So many comments that have covered what I would say. Such as:
1. Klink is an idiot (but he has put together good/greap personnel if he could just call a game!)
2. We don't need or want Favre (or at least I don't)
3. We have the people to do the job and even the QB situation can be managed with some experience. Rosenfels almost beat the Colts last year had he not tried too hard to force things to happen and he is able to run (just tuck the ball).
4. Tjack can also run and if given the chance, probably could also pass well if he can open it up (and just tuck the ball away on the runs!).
So much talent, so little time. Just think what a good couch could do with this talent, especially an offensive minded coach. Klink does not fit that at all.
adpeterson- Your two comments were worthless.
…and they still are.
I believe it's Fav-ray. He's a brokeback wrangler wearin' Frenchman.
We should require him to spell it the right way if he come to the Vikings…
Job? What is a job?
It's where they pay you to blog. You should get one….
Quit picking on me! Job? I had a job twice.. I only need this thermos and my lamp.. The thermos and the lamp..
Everyone talks about the Bears upgrading their QB position when in my opinion the Vikes have upgraded theirs as well thru a better backup in Sage and the continued development of Tarvaris who I think will win the QB battle.
Don't forget we have a healthy E.J Hendersen coming back,and that makes all the difference.
…and a very dynamic and explosive young reciever in Percy Harvin.
In 2007 Sage was ranked #16 amongst NFL QB's with a QB rating of 84.8. That year Favre was ranked #6 with a rating of 95.7. TJack finished in the 28th position with a rating of 70.8%. Last year Frerotte ironically finished in the 28th position with a rating of 73.7%. A slight imprivement over TJ however he obviously was not the answer. TJ's self doubt and inability to lead is not the answer for the Vikings. Sage is certainly a step in the right direction and Favre would be a band aid for a year possibly two. However until we sign a Manning or River's, I wont sleep.
Vikes,Bears,and GB will win their home games and lose their road games. AP will have a decent year and then want out of mn.
To THE BLOCK,
You sound like you have been drinking that green and gold cool-aid
Things never go right for the Vikings…
They will never win the division…
The Coach could never win…
No QB equals no wins for the Vikings…
Only one small thing people. All of the above statements are wrong. Because the Vikings won the division last year. And they should be favored again this year until Rogers shows he can make a team win and not just put up impressive personal numbers; until Cutler shows he can carry the entire Bears team; and until the Lions stop being the Lions.
I think a lot of TJ's struggles come from Chili not completely trusting/handcuffing him. Both Manning and Rivers would struggle with some of the plays being called especially when not allowed to audible out of them. Hopefully Chili opens up the playbook this year and things won't be so predictable.
Who is Favre?
The Vikings will win the Super Bowl, if and only if, they can sign Kim Jong Il. Kim Jong Il beat Chuck Norris 3 out of 3 in arm wrestling.
seriously read my post erlier it has all the answers
Fragiles? Is that yous?
cause i am sooooo smart really look at my degrees on football im so smart!!!
and when i die i'll be the smartest dead guy!!
I could barely read it the first time. What makes you think I'd waste my time with it again? Seriously, your post was garbido.
The only hope we have to win the division this year, regardless of how Favre and the other QBs pan out, is to see what impact Harvin actually has. I'm hoping his abilities open things up a bit for AP. If it does, then I think we'll be able to coast into the Play-Offs. Favre intrigues me just for entertainment's sake, but I'm not one for drama. I don't know that he'd make all that much of a difference, and would the difference he'd make be worth the off-the-field issues? Like I said, I'm at least intrigued.
I really hope you're wrong, Wayzata.
aww you know im right kc612 cause im so smart
jk but really i just dont see us doing to much unless the coaches improve the offence
We won the division last year. There's plenty of hope. I think the Vikes improved as much, if not more, than the other teams in our division and while it won't be easy (nothings easy when it comes to the Vikes) we should repeat as NFC North Champs. Now if we can become NFC Division Champs I'll be excited.
Vikes will probably win the division. They have an easy start to the schedule although those teams probably feel fortunate to play the vikes early on.
How can anyone think signing Farve is a bad thing – seriously. If he's not healthy – he doesn't pass the physical. If he throws like a girl – they don't sign him. If he's healthy and if he wants to play – anyone not wanting to sign him would be the fool.
I think Farve would be great in a vikes uniform. He would be totally psyched to play for the vikes and would have a career year. T-Jack can't even throw an accurate pass 10 yds to the big shank.
We already have two QB's (who aren't past their prime) who are almost as good at turning the ball over as Favre. We don't need some prima donna QB, our strengths are in our running game and defense and we need a QB who doesn't make the big mistake. Hopefully, TJ can be that QB and if not maybe Sage.
I think another piece that would be fun with Favre is to have his total desire to WIN with the supporting cast of AP, Berrian and Harvin. This whole drama is worth it if we get his 100% commitment for 1 year.
I seem to remember Shank dropping at least one or two passes thrown on target that would have resulted in TD's. The Colts game is one and I'll have to think a minute for the others…..
I don't think Favre can make it a whole year at his age. Our line couldn't protect TJ/Gus very well and they took a beating because of it and at his age that's gonna take a toll on his body.
I'm not someone who is against TJ or Sage – does anyone really think that Favre, in the Dome for 8 games – with our defense and running game – is not a good choice? Agree your not building a dynasty – no – your doing it to win "A" Superbowl….or die trying.
KC – agree, I would still roll the dice and try – with TJ and Sage already on board – maybe Favre would get us to 8-1 before getting blown up!
Now you've got me thinking – just how porous is the middle of our line going to be. I can just see the first game…#4 under center…fumbled snap…2 D-Tackles converge – KABOOOM! Drama -over.
KC612 – Shank dropped tons of passes early last season but Childress stuck with him even though the fans were blasting him for it. In the end, Shank came around.
Lloyd – I agree that Favre is worth it if we get 100% commitment, but it seems lately, Favre is 100% certain to not fully commit to anything. He's a play-maker for sure, and that would be an asset like no other. It seems a lot of things would have to come together to make this happen. – - – Favre would have to WANT to play. His arm would have to be ready to go. The owners and coaches would have to want him. And he will have to agree on a suitable contract. That's a lot running against a very important ticking clock.
i am a brett Favre fan and a Vikings fan
but come on!!!!!!!!!! we have two SH#T
QB's and we want to bring in a guy that toses more INT's then anybody. old as dirt and hurt……… what's next if this does not work call fran tarkinson out of retirement. sometimes i think my team is a joke
BOX – couldn't write it better. As a fan – I like the gamble. Camp is what, 7 weeks away – off to the lake. I'm dreaming purple.
Well, the Bears have improved, and if the Pack gets a D, MN could end up third, even with the NFL's best back, A. Peterson. They are returning basically the same team. Sage R in Frerotte out, you trade away experience and savvy for legs and inexperience. TJ is what he is. I agree Rodgers is the class of the division. Now, the BEars many moves may not jell, or the GB 3-4 Def means it lets in 34 a game, wel, then MN can win. In a tight race, QB might just make the difference.
Heather- I wish Chili would've done the same for TJ. I think he'd be a better QB now because of it. It couldn't have helped his confidence and rhythm being pulled after only the 2nd game. I don't think those losses were entirely his fault.
I think you have something there with the packers. A-Rod is the best QB in the devision ( look at th stats ) if there 3-4 D works out and i do like the people they picked up in the draft we could be in big trouble. only one in the NFL that wants Favre is the Vikings there is a reason for this. our best move would be to forget about Favre and get one of our QB's ready before AP is to old or used up. then we will have a QB and no running back that whole cycle all over again
KC – I agree confidence from the coach can do wonders. All the fans were pressing Chili to remove him – I was too. TJ just blew it time after time. At first, he was irresponsibly misfiring. Then he went the other way and was waaaay too conservitive with the ball. You could tell he was trying to do what was asked of him. So Chili pulls him and puts Gus in, and everyone's happy… because we're winning. Of course, Gus had the easier schedule, but we were winning. I agree that TJ didn't singlehandedly blow it, but I just don't think he has leadership qualities that today's QBs need. I always felt like the guys on the field didn't trust him – had no confidence in him – and if that's the case, all the QB talent in the world isn't going to make a difference.
you know what we really should do to fix the team is trade all of our players and a first and third round pick for all the patriots players!!! i am soooooooooooo smart!!
i miss randy waaaaaaaaa!!!!
"The Packers are coming off a 6-10 season and are rebuilding a bad defense with a completely new philosophy."
Don't confuse "bad" with INJURED!!! All teams have injuries, but the Packers D was hit especially hard by them last year. They would have easily made the playoffs and won the division if it wasn't for that. They will be very tough to beat this year and are easily the favorite in the division.
I think it would be more cost effective to go after the Green Bay Players we seam to want the players they don't want and relocting them just across the boarder would be cheaper. we take player no body else wants because there washed up. why can't we win the super bowl again!!
cbestone, yes it would be more cost effective but we can afford the pats we got the wilfanator, but your cost effectiveness is pretty smart maybe we should hire you for the t-wolves or twins and call you smartguy#2
T-jack had a 94% QB rating last year, 9 td's and 2 INT's. Sidney Rice and Bernard Berrian were both hurt when he lost those games early on, ANS he was missing Mt Mkinney. If he had played just a little better in the playoff game we'd have won, and probably coasted through to the Superbowl after that, only playing teams we'd already beaten, Probably with ahomefield advantage. I say, Put in T-jack, let him play the whole season, and this year we go to the big show.
Calling all Vikings Fans sign up at http://www.minnesotamomentum.com to help keep the Vikes in Minnesota were running out of time also there is a link to email the house and senate lets work together to keep our team where they belong
KC612 is right on the money. We've got a good young QB who's gotten better every year. 2nd highest QB rating in the league (117) over the last four games of the season. If Childress would open things up just a little, the kid would put up great numbers. As it is, his numbers are more than respectable for anybody who's willing to give them a fair look. But unfortunately, most people already have their minds made up…
It is hard to tell season to season who will be good or not! There is always atleast one surprise winner and loser. On paper our team seems solid, great back, top level D, some explosive players. I think this is T-Jack's breakout year, but you can't pass on Farve. Either way I am pumped baby. Go Vikes!!
Great article. I agree with it 100%. The Vikes have a very good team this year, and everyone needs to stop griping about the QB situation. If Trent Dilfer could win a Super Bowl with a good team around him, so can T-Jack or Sage!
But you forgot one thing: Special Teams. The Vikes have drafted a speedy returner (Harvin) and Special Teams ace Heath Farwell will return this year from an injury. That will help shore up the Vikes' special teams that cost them at least 2 victories last year. With better special teams, I think that the Vikings should be the NFC favorite, not just NFC North favorite, this year.
brett favre has always been a great inspired player and his inspiration gets other players inspired. he and the vikes will be ther once he gets that shoulder fixed the vikes coach knows what he's doing favre be there and the vikes will roll, they have the defence and all new offencive playes to make them better. go vikes
Average IQ in here seems to be about 50. Including whoever thinks the Vikes are going to win anything. Every year it's the same thing. Big expectations, big disappointments.
without, do not sign this nut bag. he's not worth it. he's an ego maniac who will drive us crazy like tommy kramer did.. can he win it all or not. nope. I vote no new QB's in camp go with what you have.
This team has a load of pro-bowlers on both sides of the ball. Last year we won the division with two quarterbacks and without our defensive quarterback. I believe the biggest addition this year is the return of arguably our best defensive player. The question marks are 1-quarterback 2- right tackle and 3- special teams. Heath is back and add Percy to special teams and LoadMan at tackle and we could see two of the three weaknesses repaired. We are a quarterback away from a dominating team. Perhaps we will be surprised. Go Vikes!
[...] Craig of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes that the Minnesota Vikings should win the NFC North even without quarterback Brett [...]
smartguy above is absolutely correct! No Favre, no season – end of story. We SHOULD see Holmgren here next year (unless the football-ignorant ownership stays asleep and continues to answer to Childress on football matters as if he's their boss or something), and unlike the useless Childress, he insists on outstanding play at the QB position and knows that without it, teams go nowhere.
Yes, we could easily have been 6-10 – totally agreed, and most forget that: We were a very ugly 10-6 (which itself, is nothing to write home about.
Favre is needed this year – and with one arm, is a HUGE upgrade over the crap we have, but of course, the IMBECILE loser head coach must go for us to advance at all as an organization – that even the stupidest Vikings fan should *get* by now.
GB defense was terrible last year, but also decimated due to injuries – Barnett, Jenkins, Bigby, and of COURSE Harrell. That was huge. They will depend on two rookies this year, but no more than any other team – Vikes and Bears both are counting on production from rookie receivers. And how often does that happen??
You know its interesting how qb's and head coaches take all the blame. Some one mentioned that sage almost beat the colts last year. TJ did the same with this difference; instead of two picks and a helicopter fumble. Leading 9-0 in the 2nd qtr, he threw a perfect pass which Shianco droped in back of the endzone we got a fg and went up 15-0. Fans were booing. up 15-0 against the colts and you get no support at home? in the 3rd qt tj makes the right read and throws a perfect deep ball Bernard (which would have gone for six)who trips over his own feet and looks for a flag. Can you say soft? Coach made the right call on both, TJ made the right reads and throws on both receivers let us done all year. Harvin needs to be the truth! its tough to be a good qb if receivers 1. can't stay on the field (rice) 2. Can't create seperation(wade) 3. Drop balls. My one point against chilly is where is the three receiver set? it removes a LB and adds a 3rd string DB. AP should find easier running as we spread the D (ask Robert Smith who wasnt close to being AP), and exposes the coverage to help your young QB. i truly hope shiano continues to grow. his improvement is keyand should have a big year as our third option behind AP and Harvin. Yeah the post is late, but i have a job
Hey Mark the Packers fan,
Favre gave you something you probably didn't have in your lifetime previously, a Super Bowl ring, and three MVP's.
He an Reggie White made it ok to be a packers fan, and forget about the bumpkin' perception GB had before White came here.
Easy to blow him off and forget all that since you're probably 25 yrs old!
He'd still be QB if it wasn't for management,we'd have been in the playoffs last year, and this conversation would never be happening.
I'm losing my faith as a Packer fan as I watch you all turn your back on him much like the Bulls fans wanted to have Michael Jordans statue taken down at the United Center when he went to Washington.
If the guy can play, he deserves to play. I wish Barry Sanders had come back 3-4 times as well. Some guys make the game a little more special. Manning,Peterson,Favre, and I'll have my third #4 jersey to wear! Always a Packer fan, but still glad to see Brett do well, even if its against us! We owe him something.
5……….4………3……2…….1…………lift off!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRETT FAVRE is a hunter and he knows when to pull the trigger wheather it's at quarterback or hunting both which he loves. The vikes can go all the way with favre at quarterback and the vikes officles know that he's a leader and a great one know one loves the game of football any better. go viking.

Bryan Nash Gill
I was introduced to Bryan's work a little over two years ago, and shortly after, my colleague Sara and I visited his studio in Connecticut. I was blown away by his stunning prints and space (he built his studio adjacent to his house, surrounded by carefully kept gardens and wild woods). Even more so, I was taken by his overwhelming enthusiasm and kindness. He grilled a chicken for us from a neighbor's farm and made a big salad, and as we discussed art, books, and his work, it felt like we had known each other for years.
By the following May, we had produced a beautiful book together, Woodcut, and in the process had become great friends. I am particularly proud of this book. I loved working on it and I loved working with Bryan. I reach for it often when I'm in need of inspiration or perspective—or a friend. Bryan Nash Gill passed away on May 17th. We miss you, Bryan.
Later this month artist Bryan Nash Gill brings his stunning woodcut prints to the Chicago Botanic Garden. If you're a fan of the book (or the new notecards) don't miss this chance to see each arboreal ring up close. Just don't touch—since we're his publisher, we'd like to remind you that's what the book (and the new notecards) are for. Enjoy the art and maybe buy an original print, too! Proceeds from work sold at the exhibition benefit the Garden.
Woodcut: Bryan Nash Gill
Chicago Botanic Garden, Joutras Gallery
January 19 – April 14
Streetwear brand Fourth is King has collaborated with woodcut artist Bryan Nash Gill to create a very unique and special edition t-shirt. The unisex tee features "Cedar Pole"—one of Nash's woodcut relief prints that has been featured in exhibitions across the US, and can be seen in his recently published Woodcut book. The Fourth is King / Bryan Nash Gill collab is available in limited quantities in 3 colors, exclusively through Fourth is King. The bold simplicity of the woodcut makes for an ideal and captivating piece of wearable art.
Bryan Nash Gill's relief prints made from slices of ash, willow, and honey locust trees, respectively. See more of this body of work in Woodcut, available now.

Topic - Variation in rock shoe size
DBoothroyd - on 28 Jan 2014
Having never bought the same model of rock shoe twice, I'm curious - How much variation is common between two pairs of shoes of the same make, model, and size? The reason I ask is that I'm considering committing the cardinal sin of going into a local shop to check out bouldering shoes (looking for a pair so that I can save my 5.10 Blancos for trad), but would like to save some money. If anyone has any specific knowledge regarding the higher end slip-ons (LS Solutions, Cobras), that would be particularly useful.
DISCLAIMER: For my own sake, I will say that I'm currently living in the south of Sweden, where the only shop that I know of at which you can try on shoes is Naturkompaniet, arguably analagous to a more expensive (obviously, it's Sweden) version of Cotswold. Thus, while doing this does, admittedly, waste the shop assistant's time, there are no small businesses that I could feasibly take my custom to. I'd even consider ordering from Needle Sports/V12/etc if their prices/international shipping are competitive with Nordic/German online shops. Whilst a discussion regarding the morality of trying on shoes in shops and then ordering them from elsewhere as a cost-saving measure is utterly fascinating, I hope to avoid this thread's descent into that.
Thanks all

I agree with every one of those ideas.
The only problem with the rep for deposit one though is that it's probably tough to design that without leaving it wide open for exploitation.
I remember some talk before cata came out about legendaries and certain patterns going the Guild-bound route but never saw anything else from it.
Anyone who has seen someone get their legendary and then either leave or stop showing up would probably agree on legendary weapons having a tie to the guild that earned it as a team. With it taking so long especially on 10-man to get one done, it really bites to see that happen. Expanding on the nature of the quests themselves would get more of the guild involved to see it done and share the fun. These rogue daggers are the exact wrong way to handle a legendary. Very time consuming for both the individual AND the guild, important lore related quests that only get seen by the Rogue in question, and zero blockage to that Rogue packing up and bailing as soon as it's done. Just like the multiple Rogues I saw during black temple that took their Warglaives and ran from other guilds, or the paladin that got his Val'Anyr in Ulduar from my own guild who server hopped.
Upgraded tabard options would be awesome to see.

My son's current obsession is tractors and diggers or 'digars' as he calls them. It's funny, because ever since he was tiny he had a thing for anything that went round and round or spun in a circle. Wheels, the washing machine or spinning tops, he was fascinated by them all. This soon progressed into a love of cars and engines, he would and still does lie himself on the floor while he pushes toy cars along to watch the wheels go round and he often plays with Daddy's plastic engine just to watch the flywheel spin. He will even beg to push the trolley in the supermarket just to watch the wheels spin. Alongside this he has always been very keen to work out how things work, he will test items to the limit to see if they bounce, stretch or twist often to their breaking point.
This summer has been a world of amazement and excitement for him in his little bubble of rolling wheels and the farty engine noises he makes as he pushes his toy diggers along. We live in a rural area which means tractors are often working the fields surrounding our house and lucky for Little Man his Daddy is also obsessed with anything with wheels and an engine. Hours have been spent this summer just watching the tractors work, exploring them when they are sat static in the field and then playing with his own tractors and diggers, emulating the big ones he's been watching. I don't think this obsession of his will ever disappear and although I'm sure Daddy has a part to play in it part of me can't help but think he was born to love it. It's in his make-up just like it's in his Daddy's.
Does your little one have an passion you think will be with them for life or do they have lots of little whims that pass them by?

Most mud-slinging tthat happens is directed at policies the other party wants to incorporate.
Another example: Apparently Romney hired a gay man to be his spokesperson. That's awesome! Obviously he was just trying to win the younger generation over, but it worked on me! I might actually listen to him after that if I were an American citizen. But then this guy goes slandering the poor spokesperson saying that it threatens marriage, that the homosexual lifestyle consists of simply one night stands (because, you know, straight guys don't hook up either), the average will have over 500 sexual partners (yeah, because that's totally realistic. Also, he's just jealous), and that they are dangerous because they frequent gay baths (because, y'know, their completely different from strip clubs. Because in those ones, there's girls, not boys.)
As Jon said, in case you're wondering why the picture is blurry, it's because his opinions are being brodcast from 50 years ago.
Okay, so you don't agree with homosexuality. I don't agree with dill pickle flavoured popcorn. WHY DOES THAT HAVE TO EFFECT THEY WAY SOMEONE DOES THEIR JOB? What's wrong with people who aren't afraid to be who they are? They're happy. They're not hurting anyone. Their like spiders. Leave them alone, and they'll leave you alone. The only one forcing beliefs and practices on anyone are YOU.
I could go on forever but the two main points are:
1. Let people's performance and not background define them in their professional life.
2. Why can't we just accept eachother and move on?
LOL, make blowjobs illegal. Like he could've done that anyways.

Small Steps Add Up to Big Strides in Managing Asthma
Unfortunately, there's no magic cure for asthma. It is a lifelong chronic condition that requires you to master ways to avoid asthma attacks. But this doesn't mean that your respiratory challenges should hold you back from achieving your goals. These small lifestyle changes can make a big impact in helping you manage your asthma effectively.
Managing Asthma at Home
If your asthma is allergic in nature, hidden triggers may be lurking throughout your home. The bedroom is often one of the biggest offenders. To minimize your risks, wash your bedding thoroughly in hot water and use hypoallergenic mattress and pillow covers. Remove books, stuffed animals, and accessories that could collect dust and mold. Banish pets from the bedroom. In your kitchen and bathrooms, address any leaks promptly, since dampness can breed mold. Remove area rugs and curtains that can trap allergens throughout your home. Keep your windows closed to prevent seasonal allergens from entering. Throughout the house, run an air filter to remove pollen and other triggers.
Managing Asthma at Work
If you work in an office setting and find that your asthma seems to worsen during the day, make an effort to organize your workspace. For instance, throw out excess papers you don't need and file the rest away to avoid trapped dust from triggering your symptoms. Remove houseplants, since these can be a breeding ground for mold. When co-workers use perfumes or other scented products that worsen your symptoms, explain your situation and ask if they would mind skipping the scent so you can breathe better. Also steer clear of people who are sick, since colds and flus can aggravate your asthma and germs have a way of spreading through small spaces. Be sure to wash your hands often with hot water or use hand sanitizer.
Managing Asthma with Exercise
Engaging in regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight and aid with asthma management. This is important, since studies have shown that obesity and asthma often go hand-in-hand. However, many asthmatics find that working out can actually trigger their symptoms. The best way to handle this is to look for activities that won't tax your respiratory system. Yoga, walking, and swimming can be good choices for asthmatics. They can also help to release stress, which is another asthma trigger. Even if you can't make it to the gym, you can try doing some simple meditation exercises to get the same benefits.
Follow Up
In addition to these lifestyle efforts, you'll also need to follow your asthma action plan diligently. By avoiding your triggers, taking your medication as directed and monitoring your breathing capacity on a daily basis, you'll feel better and find that managing your asthma will be easier than ever.

Target's Gregg Steinhafel
Target's Gregg Steinhafel
Perks: $5.52 million
Target (TGT) CEO Gregg Steinhafel worked his way up to CEO in 2008, after joining the company in 1979. But now that he's on top, Target shareholders may wish they had a Target REDcard Rewards five per cent discount for his perks and pay.
Steinhafel topped the charts for overall perks last year, at more than $5.5 million. Most of that was a $5 million contribution to a supplemental pension plan. You'd think he could cover his own retirement, since he got $23.9 million and $19.7 million in pay in 2010 and 2011, or more than twice the average for CEOs at large companies.
In contrast, Target retail workers get a median of about $8.68 an hour according to PayScale. (Read Payscale's report on Target.) Assuming a 40-hour week and two weeks' vacation all around, that makes for an enormous CEO-worker pay multiple of 570 at Target. That compares with a multiple of 231 at the 350 biggest companies in the U.S., according to the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank.
Besides the generous pension contribution, Steinhafel's perks included personal use of the company jet, reimbursement for the cost of his spouse's travel on business trips, an exercise room, parking, home security, a company car or car allowance and unspecified gifts.
Target's executive comp and perquisites are "market competitive and are designed to attract, retain and motivate a premier management team," says a Target spokeswoman. She also notes that 84 per cent of shareholders who voted in 2012 approved Target's executive pay, in part because it aligns executive interests with those of shareholders.

London, KY
Colonel Sanders, the famous founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, created his very first restaurant in Laurel County in in the 1940s. Today, the county likes to celebrate this heritage with the annual World Chicken Festival. This festival takes place during the last weekend in September in downtown London. These four fun-filled days feature tons of attractions, such as carnival rides, face painting, a parade, and a car show. And, of course, the festival has a whole lot of fried chicken. This is not just any fried chicken, however. The chicken at the World Chicken Festival is all prepared on-site in the world's largest skillet.
The Redbud Ride is sure to be one of the most beautiful and the challenging bike rides you have ever experienced. Starting in downtown London, the route will take you through picturesque forests featuring some of the most stunning scenery in Kentucky. You will even make your way through one of the top 10 redbud sightseeing routes in the state, hence the name of the ride. Whether you choose the 23, 38, 70, or 102 mile ride, stops are provided every 15 miles to make sure you have the energy to keep going.
Located in a renovated 8,000-square foot barn, the Laurel County History Museum and Genealogy Center strives to educate the public about this area's interesting history. It seeks to honor those that fought in the Civil War, the men and women that first settled in the county, and those who have made a difference in the community ever since. The museum is open every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. For those that grew up or have family from the area, the genealogy center also provides one hour of free genealogical research to help you trace your own history.

Electrocardiography (EKG) measures the heart's electrical activity to help evaluate its function and identify any problems that might exist. The EKG can help determine the rate and regularity of heartbeats, the size and position of the heart's chambers, and whether there is any damage present.
How Is an EKG Done?
There is nothing painful about getting an EKG. The patient is asked to lie down, and a series of small metal tabs (called electrodes) are fixed to the skin with sticky papers. These electrodes are placed in a standard pattern on the shoulders, the chest, the wrists, and the ankles. After the electrodes are in place, the person is asked to hold still and, perhaps, to hold his or her breath briefly while the heartbeats are recorded for a short period. The patient also might be asked to get up and exercise for a while.
The information is interpreted by a machine and drawn as a graph. The graph consists of multiple waves, which reflect the activity of the heart. The height, length, and frequency of the waves are read in the following way:
- The number of waves per minute on the graph is the heart rate.
- The distances between these waves is the heart rhythm.
- The shapes of the waves show how well the heart's electrical impulses are working, the size of the heart, and how well the individual components of the heart are working together.
- The consistency of the waves provides relatively specific information about any heart damage present.
A person's heartbeat should be consistent and even. EKGs look for abnormally slow and fast heart rates, abnormal rhythm patterns, conduction blocks (short-circuits of the heart's electrical impulses that cause rhythm inconsistencies between the upper and lower chambers) — and four types of heart damage:
- ventricular hypertrophy — an abnormal thickening of the heart muscle
- ischemia — caused by an abnormally decreased blood supply
- cardiomyopathies — abnormalities in the heart muscle itself
- electrolyte and drug disturbances — these can alter the heart's electrochemical environment
Computerized EKGs can be combined with other tests to provide a multimedia account of the heart. These additional tests include echocardiograms (which are basically "ultrasound" tests that bounce sound off the heart and use the echoes to produce an image) and thallium scans (which are kind of like X-rays and use a radioactive tracer, injected into the bloodstream, to help draw a picture of the heart).
In the past, the EKG was recorded on a machine that drew on long strips of paper, with records from each electrode presented in a standard sequence. Now the EKG tracings are stored as computer files that can be called up and printed.
How Long Will it Take to Get Results?
Results of the EKG are available immediately. In fact, the EKG machine's computer even provides an instant interpretation of the findings as it makes the report. However, the doctor also might ask an expert, usually a cardiologist, to help analyze and interpret the EKG.
Reference ranges for heart rate and the relative lengths and sizes of the various components of the heartbeat figures vary, and diagnostic differences may be subtle, requiring an expert eye to detect them.

'Halo 4' set for record-breaking release
Master Chief returns in first installment of 'Reclaimer Trilogy'
By Kent Laird
MSN Entertainment
The "Halo 4" launch is nearly upon us and the masses will soon line up again to purchase the latest game in the franchise, and the first created by 343 Industries, since Bungie and Microsoft parted ways. The last Halo launch, "Halo 3," saw a $300M first week making it the biggest launch, at that time, in the history of an entertainment event and experts are forecasting an even bigger response to Halo 4.
Related: More Xbox Entertainment on MSN | More: Halowaypoint.com
Early reviews of "Halo 4" indicate that 343 Industries and Microsoft did the franchise proud with the first installment of this new Halo "Reclaimer Trilogy." Master Chief makes his return, re-birth really, at the beginning of the game. Last we knew of him, he and Cortana (a human created artificial intelligence being, at left) were lost in space adrift the UNSC frigate Forward Unto Dawn.
Bing: More on 'Halo 4' | More on 343 Industries
In "Halo 4" Master Chief and Cortana will be confronting a new threat to come upon the human race and what it means to be mortal as it has never before. The game, both in single-player, multi-player and the new cooperative modes combine the combat abilities, a wide variety of weapons (new and old) and the amazing environmental design that people will be expecting from the franchise.
Wonderwall: Celebrities who love Xbox | Photos: See images from 'Halo 4'
"Halo 4" will be available to consumers worldwide on November 6, 2012 with the exception of Japan which will be launching on November 8, 2012.
What up playa's. Look im just a kid but Halo is like a drug to me. I've been playing it since I was 3 and halo 5 and 6 better be good too. the game came out today, so grab your controllers and shoot away my friends, thank you Microsoft corporation and 343 industries, because ever since the planet Harvest was invaded by the Covenant, ive been latching on to every halo since #1. you guys f****** Rock! Peace
Sierra: R22
Xbox Gamertag ( do not hack me): Brandit1117
I'm anxious to see what Halo 4 delivers.
When it first came out, a gang of us would play 1st generation Halo every weekend.
No other game could compare, but I was so let down with Halo 2 that I didn't even bother to try anything that came out afterward. 1st Gen Halo may have lacked the graphics, but the game play was so fluid & natural, when we were at our best, all of our death-matches scored 24/25 & the competition was fierce.
Is there any credible evidence that Hollywood is making a legitimate movie? & can any body recommend their favorite game in the Halo series?
Thanks. ~ Bones666
Yet another sign of the Apocalypse...there's more excitement about a freakin' video game than there is about the current state of affairs and future of this country.
If you're old enough and really want to make a difference, go ahead and vote for Master Chief as a write in candidate. Apparently the collective efforts of the universe of Halo enthusiasts could make a fictional bad a** cyber warrior our next president. Trust me, nobody would know any different.
