Food was excellent and the service was also very good. We had four kids and they can be a challenge at times. There wasn't a long wait for food and they handled all the requests (items on the side) without missing a beat. It's a great looking restaurant and they handled our party of 9 very well. We will certainly come back again and would recommend it for brunch, lunch or dinner.
Food was delicious, services from Jeremy was awesome, we really enjoy the evening
We and our friends very much enjoyed our lunches yesterday at Copperwood Tavern. We liked the relaxed atmosphere, our waiter Jeff was excellent and the menu varied and different. We might suggest you consider having a Sides menu.
Staff celebration
I went to Copperwood for dinner because I had a gift card. I don't live in Loudoun. I found the steak I had (the 14 oz. ribeye) to be delicious, as was the onion soup. The soup is loaded with cheese, and very tasty. The mushroom croistini (sp?) was delicious. I thought the Tavern Salad was boring. It either needs a little more dressing or the dressing needs to be changed. The other appetizer we had was the fried goat cheese and Virginia ham. That was also delicious, as it came with Arugula, which I love, honeycomb, and another (fruit?) portion. My son and wife both got the filet. They both ordered medium rare. He loved his, but my wife's was overdone.
The service was so so. Overall I'd rate this an average establishment. The food overall is good, though a bit pricey, the place is convenient, since the parking garage is right next door, the service is average and, while the interior decor is kind of cool, the view out the huge windows on the front is of...Exxon! I'm not saying yes or no on recommending to a friend. I still have some money left on the gift card. I think I'll come back and try it again, then think about recommending to those I know.
We were 4 middle aged women and our waiter took very good care of us. The drinks were great! I ordered 2 appetizers and my friends ordered the filet and the salmon. They enjoyed their entrees. We shared a piece of caramel cheesecake, which was to die for!
Way over priced for the quality of the food and the service
Great food, great service. Everyone left full and happy!
Delicious! We sat down for an early weeknight dinner, so it was pretty quiet. They provided complimentary mini muffins with honey and orange flavored butter - yum. I ordered the Spaghetti Squash and was blown away by how much flavor it had, especially for such a simple dish! The portion was great too. I also tried a bite of the Rainbow Trout - SO incredibly soft, it was a melt-in-my-mouth experience. For dessert, we got the ice cream in waffle - the waffle was a WAFFLE - freshly baked, soft, thick, scrumptious. (We were expecting a giant waffle cone, the crunchy kind you'd typically picture with ice cream). Definitely want to visit again.
Advertised as a farm-to-table, but food not good, and preparation very average. The restaurant was blaring heavy metal music, just weird and like a bad vibe.
Excellent food and wine selections in a warm relaxed atmosphere. My wife and I count this as one of our favorite restaurants.
Our first time there to celebrate my husband's birthday and the service was impeccable. The manager stopped by and greeted us as she was filling our water glasses and our Server Amanda was just awesome. Since this was our first time there, Amanda went over the menu, the bourbon list as well, appetizers, entrees and all. She was able to keep us informed and wait on her other tables. What a great experience? We will be returning.
The entrees we chose was spot on for the 4 persons in our group.
We enjoyed a nice seat by the window which we requested. Jeremy, our waiter was very accommodating and attentive, but not hovering. If you don't like brussell sprouts, these will change your mind. Food was delicious, presented well, and portions were just right.
If you want really good food that is locally, Cooperwood Tavern is the place to go. This is my third visit and the food and service are always great.
Great food, but the service was not. Waitress came to us only a few times: once to take our order for drinks and appetizers, the second time when she ready to take our orders from our main course but only after we had finished our appetizers and had a bunch of empty glasses on our table, lastly once we had finished our meals and provided us with our check.
Nice spot. The food and. Service were good. The drinks were especially good. I will definite be back.
I have been here for brunch one other time prior to this visit. My first experience was 5 star worthy!! The food and service was amazing; however, during that visit the restaurant was less than half way full. Because of my first experience, I recommended it to my girlfriends this time and unfortunately the experience was not the same. I made an online reservation the day prior and when I got there they didn't appear to be ready for me. The restaurant was pretty crowded and the hostesses were not as inviting as I would have expected. On the way to be seated there was a napkin on the floor thy caused me to slip. The hostess that seated me didn't pick it up, so I did. Then she didn't take the dirty napkin away, instead she left it on my table top. While we ordered drinks promptly, they took quite a while to come to the table and the waitress apologized for the delays. Likewise the food took quite a while to be served and when it arrived it appeared as if it sat for a while after being prepared. The scrambled eggs were rubbery, the toast was overly crisp as if it was dried out and the poached egg wasn't done properly. We did discuss these issues with the manager and she was kind enough to refund our entrees which was very nice and unexpected. It is possible that all of the things we experienced was due to the large brunch crowd and possibly being understaffed. I am on the fence if I would try again.
We had a reservation and when we checked in they said it would be 20 mins...that is frustrating but when the manager found out she came over and gave us a free drink from the bar. That was nice. The food and waiter were great, the only thing is that it is a little loud in this restaurant...not a quite romantic setting but that is OK sometimes.
We were initially offered a table basically right next to the server stand. After we asked if there was another alternative, we saw another couple come in, the staff attempted to seat them there and they asked for another alternative. Might think about just moving that table elsewhere.
The restaurant and service was good. The food was pricey. Shareable sides were tasty. Entree portion was generous.but meat under seasoned.
Valentine's Day
Very special place for a date night. Great food, wonderful wine, and I have always found the waitstaff/management to be very professional and know when/how to come back to the table for assistance during the meal. On a packed night, it can be very vibrant and loud, so depending on your night's expectations, just think about WHEN you would want to go. Still needs to offer a military discount, but besides that...I recommend the duck and a bold red at Copperwood Tavern! See you there soon.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! I was introduced to this restaurant as the destination for a team dinner at work, and knew as soon as I sat down at the bar and saw the menu that I HAD to come back with my husband. The drink options, the meal options, the ambience--sheer perfection. I came back with my team for a lunch meeting, and it was as phenomenal as the first time. Even with a full house, no one had to shout or strain to hear. Highly recommended!
This was my second time trying Copperwood, and I REALLY wanted to like it. We decided to try the brunch menu. Our server was amazing. I think his name was Jeff. He was very attentive, checked on us just the right amount, and kept our drinks filled. The breakfast potatoes were good, as were the fried green tomatoes, and the Belgian waffle. The butter you make for those waffles is OUTSTANDING.
Unfortunately, we found two hairs in our food - one on my daughter's waffle, and another in the butter that comes out with the French toast sticks (which MIGHT have just been a piece of lint). We didn't need the butter for the French toast sticks, and the hair on the waffle was found when she had already finished eating, and it was on the last bite. It was definitely not my daughter's hair - she's got long, blond hair, and this was a shorter, black hair. We did not tell our server, because we were pretty much done and didn't want to make a big deal. Maybe not the right thing to do in retrospect.
I think the overall quality of the food is excellent, but I can't afford (or justify) shelling out $6.50 for bacon. Everyone else I know loves the restaurant, so maybe it was an off day for me.
Our waitress was so nice. I was really disappointed that the menu I saw online was not actually the menu we could order from. No burgers or sandwiches. That can only be ordered on the bar side. Barely a kids menu. Had to ask about it. It is not on the actual menu. I don't think we would go back.
Awesome food! Had the brown butter chicken and pork chops - both were thoroughly enjoyed. Mac and cheese side was addicting. Also try the debtor duck eggs!
Overpriced for what you get. Food was delicious though.
Very long wait for the food. Salmon crusted with horseradish was the special. Salmon was very overdone, with burnt edges. The topping was very salty. Couldn't taste horseradish at all.
The Brussels sprout slaw was drenched and soggy.
The waiter never checked with us so we didn't have the opportunity to give him these concerns. My husbands beef tips were very overdone and not flavorful.
I expected much better especially for the evenings special.
Good cocktails and great food. Will definitely be back.
First time at this restaurant, we were seated promptly and pleasantly. The floor around the table was covered with popcorn, no notice was made by the hostess and no attempt was made to clean the floor. Server took so long to make a first stop that we were ready to order. About 20 min later, our drinks were served - hot tea and a Bloody Mary but took another 15 to get creamer for the hot tea. Meals were pedestrian but over cooked. Despite a restaurant that was less than 1/2 full, waitress only stopped by once. After finishing our meal, I had to waive a credit card in the air for nearly 10 minutes before anyone came over.
We will not be back and I do not recommend this location to anyone.
We enjoyed our visit here. Setting was nice and comfortable and our breakfast was delicious! We had French toast sticks as an appetizer and they weee perfect sweetness! Will definitely be going back!
Always a great time at Copperwood. Out of town guests were pleased and so were the rest in our party of 7.
The bartender was doing double duty so I would rate service between fair and poor. We had to wait to get water refills, dessert and to get the checks. Eventually, we flagged down a different wait staff.
Excellent food! Great beer selection. I recommend to others.
Form the time we went in we knew we had found a wonderful place. The food was excellent. Joey our waiter was outstanding.
Fantastic service, excellent food, good local wine list. The restaurant promotes local farmers and producers; the food is really fresh and the presentation is appetizing. Our waiter was very attentive and courteous. Recommended for special occasions.
We had a wonderful dinner at the Copperwood Tavern. The food was excellent and the service was superb. I have already recommended it to several friends and will continue to do so. Thanks to the management and staff for a wonderful evening.
Nice. Good food, fast service.
Overall a good place to go too. The food selection was nice and tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive. The prices are little higher though and that makes it out of the "regular" restaurant rotation. Also, while the picnic table benches may seem like a cute design choice, they aren't the most comfortable seating option.
Dinner was delicious but slightly over priced. Looks like lunch has more reasonable prices. Overall, I'd come back during brunch or lunch to try the different cocktails.

Quarterback Russell Wilson getting the wins, if not the stats, for Seahawks
His stats might not be the shiniest, but his Seahawks teammates and coach Pete Carroll trust quarterback Russell Wilson with games on the line.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seahawks @ Arizona, 5:25 p.m., NFL Network and JOEtv.
Doug Baldwin sat in the cramped visitor's locker room still in his shoulder pads. As he talked minutes after Seattle's thrilling comeback at Houston three weeks ago, his voice took on a biting intensity.
"In the fourth quarter, he just had that look in his eyes," Baldwin said. "He said, 'Screw it. If I can't get time, I'll find time.' And he did that with his legs. He kept drives alive. It's unreal. To have a guy like that, you just can't help but feed off of it. We'll run through a wall for this man."
He was referring, of course, to quarterback Russell Wilson, who grabbed a bucket in the fourth quarter and bailed out Seattle's offense. But there was something else about Wilson's performance.
Wilson was statistically underwhelming. He passed for a season-low 123 yards, had his worst quarterback rating and tossed more interceptions than touchdowns for the first time all year. But he also made some of the game's most important plays with his legs and single-handedly propelled Seattle's offense at times.
This is the debate many have waged six games into Wilson's sophomore season. Has he made big plays under duress even though his stats aren't gaudy, or has he not made the improvement many were hoping for?
"People are so hypersensitive to stats and points," said former NFL fullback and current NFL Network analyst Heath Evans, "but a lot of the times those only tell you a big, fat lie."
WILSON HAS PLAYED this season inside a vacuum of expectation. But to judge Wilson on his stats is missing the bigger picture.
Take the Houston game. Wilson faced constant pressure. Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt and Co. wrecked Seattle's offensive line, which featured three backups. Wilson hardly had time to set his feet.
But it might have been his most important game of the season. In the fourth quarter, with the offensive line leaking and Seattle needing points, Wilson realized he needed his legs, not his arm, to move the ball. So he scrambled for 74 yards in the final quarter and overtime, changing the way he likes to play to suit what Seattle needed.
It just wasn't pretty in the box score.
"Russell's play was off the charts," coach Pete Carroll said. "I don't even know what his numbers were; it didn't matter. You had to watch the game to see the things he did to give us a chance."
Wilson has played most of the year behind an offensive line featuring at least two backups. He has been one of the league's most pressured quarterbacks. When he had a healthy offensive line, in the season opener, he passed for a career-high 320 yards and completed 76 percent of his passes.
Since then, his situation has changed. He hasn't been able to comfortably sit in the pocket and go through his progressions or roll out uncontested off play-action. It's no coincidence that he's had at least 10 carries in three straight games — four total — after doing so only once last season.
He has evolved with new demands and shaped his game to give Seattle the best chance to win.
"I don't know anybody I'd like to have back there more when the heat's on," Carroll said. "He has a variety of solutions to the problems."
Pro Football Focus ranks Wilson as the league's 12th-best quarterback. That's also where he is ranked if you go by the standard quarterback rating. Pro Football Outsiders has him 13th in the league, and ESPN's in-house quarterback rating system slots him 10th.
The argument centered on the modesty of Wilson's passing numbers is fundamentally off base. As Tom Jackson said on ESPN before the Indianapolis game after reading some of Wilson's stats, "Doesn't sound like much, but he understands winning football."
Wilson's numbers this year are similar to last year's. Crucial this season has been his ability to eliminate game-altering mistakes. He is not a perfect decision-maker. There have been times when he has missed open reads, including in Sunday's game against Tennessee. But he has largely avoided the killer mistakes that often lose games.
"He's the most poised young kid I've ever given a cheap shot to," former Jets linebacker Bart Scott said on CBS earlier this year. "I gave him a great cheap shot last year, and he said, 'Thank you, Mr. Scott.' You can't rattle this kid."
WILSON'S FOUR INTERCEPTIONS through six games rank in the bottom half of the league, and even those are worthy of further dissection.
All have come on third or fourth down, meaning Wilson hasn't forced unnecessary throws with downs to spare.
"He doesn't put his defense in a bind," former NFL coach and current NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci said.
One interception came in the final minutes of the Indianapolis game, when Wilson threw the ball up for grabs on fourth down. Another came on 3rd and 13 when he threw a pass deep into San Francisco territory and receiver Golden Tate slipped.
The most damning came against Jacksonville, when Wilson rolled out under pressure in his own end zone and tried to throw back across the middle of the field. That set up a Jacksonville touchdown.
But Wilson has often allowed the Seahawk defense to keep games close until the offense can click, like a fighter hanging in until the later rounds.
"I can tell you one thing," safety Earl Thomas said. "When it's crunchtime, everybody needs to know that he always puts us in a position to win. You can't ask anything else out of your quarterback."
THERE ARE SEVERAL signs Carroll looks for when evaluating Wilson, but the one he keeps circling back to might be the most important: Is he a factor in the game?
It sounds so simple, but Carroll is cognizant of how involved Wilson is throughout a game. If Carroll doesn't think Seattle is getting Wilson involved enough, he's on his headset talking with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
That's what happened against Houston in the fourth quarter and again in the second quarter against Tennessee after Seattle primarily ran the ball early. On Seattle's first drive of the second quarter, Wilson completed 5 of 6 passes and scrambled two other times during the 12-play touchdown drive. He accounted for 67 of 74 yards.
"If we give him a chance," Carroll said, "he's going to factor in every football game. He seems to do that. That's the important thing to see in forecasting if it's going in the right direction."

Liberty News
Construction begins on pedestrian tunnel
|The pedestrian tunnel will give students access to Wards Road from campus.
Liberty University has been actively working on keeping students' safety a priority with the construction of a pedestrian tunnel from campus to Wards Road.
Students will be able to reach the tunnel from a walkway behind the Vines Center. It will be dug under the railroad tracks and empty out by The Vitamin Shoppe on Wards Road, with easy access to the new pedestrian bridge.
"We know all of the students want to go over to Wards Road, but it is a huge safety factor with the train tracks," said Maggie Cossman, a corporate engineer in Liberty's Planning and Construction department. "The students' safety is the main driving force for the completion of the tunnel."
Crews began the project on Sept. 21. It is scheduled to be open for use by mid-November.
In order to dig the tunnel, a metal encasement pipe, referred to as a "shield," is being pushed through to remove the dirt. Crews are expected to dig anywhere from 5 to 50 feet a day, depending on weather halting the process to allow for trains to cross.
When it is completed, the tunnel will be about 160 feet long, 8 feet high and about 8 feet wide.
The tunnel will look much like the East Campus pedestrian tunnel when it is completed.

One nice thing I have noticed is that when I listen to Pandora via Sonos, I do not have to suffer Pandora's ads.
I do not have a Pandora premium account.
Sonos Playbar Soundbar
Since its launch in 2005, the Sonos wireless music system has won accolades and an extensive fan base thanks to an early focus on tapping into the digital music libraries that consumers built after the iPod's launch in 2001, and an evolving graphic interface that, in today's version, brings the benefits of room, source, and track selection to intuitive touchscreen apps that run on smartphones and tablets.
For those unfamiliar, you start by plugging one Sonos component into your network router to create a bridge to the Internet and to your home PC or hard drive where your personal music is stored. It can be any component the company sells. Sonos offers several powered speaker systems (Play:5, Play:3, the SUB subwoofer) and two player modules that feed music into either an existing hi-fi system (the Connect) or into a pair of speakers (Connect: Amp). If none of these devices can be placed near a live Ethernet jack, you can plop the aptly named Bridge wireless adapter next to your router.
Once any single component is talking to the home network with a wired connection, all the other components work through SonosNet, Sonos' proprietary mesh wireless technology in which every device functions as both a transmitter and receiver. This means you can add rooms or listening zones (powered speakers or players) at increasing distance from the bridge component as long as each has another nearby Sonos device the signal can cascade through. Once it's all set up, every music source—whether it's your iTunes library on a NAS drive or one of several integrated Internet music streaming services—can be selected for any room in the system via the touchscreen iOS or Android apps, or by the Sonos desktop application for PC and Mac. You can stream the same thing to every room with no echo or noticeable latency, or send different streams to different zones at the same time.
Play It Again
With the introduction of the Playbar, Sonos has added yet another device to its ecosystem. You could think of it as a selfpowered speaker like the Play:3 or Play:5, and it'll function that way with all the usual Sonos music sources. But with this Trojan horse foray into the home theater space, Sonos has made a bold step to introduce its system to a much broader audience. It's a fascinating product, buoyed by clever engineering and some savvy compromises made for the sake of simplicity and operational elegance, not all of which I agree with. But you've got to admire the considerable thought that went into the details and the execution.
Priced at $699, Playbar is a sleek rectangular box that measures 35.5 inches wide. It offers several placement options made possible by the perfectly symmetric orientation of its drivers on angled baffles and the happy convenience of the all-caps SONOS logo spelling the same way forward, backward, and upside down. (Yes, I know—if this were Jeopardy!, the come-back would be "What is a palindrome?...I'll take 'What's Watt?' for a thousand, Alex."). You can drop the Playbar flat on a tabletop in front of a TV or on a shelf below with the 45-degree front baffle angled up and out, in which case the unit has a low 3.5-inch profile. That should fit nicely below most pedestal-mounted TVs, though if it blocks your television's IR remote receiver, there's a built-in IR repeater on the Playbar's back side. Or, you can mount the Playbar to a wall with its front baffle angled up (for below-TV placement) or down (for above-TV placement), in which case it sticks out 3.5 inches off the wall. A sensor automatically tells the unit how it's positioned and adjusts channel orientation and equalization.
The Playbar has nine drivers, with seven on the front baffle. There's a center-channel array in the middle consisting of a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter flanked by a pair of 3-inch aluminum cone woofers. Pairs of matching woofers sit flush to either end, augmented by angled matching tweeters on the end caps that fire 45 degrees out to bounce mid and high frequencies off your room's side walls with the intent of enhancing soundstage width and creating a faux-surround effect. Each driver is powered by its own dedicated Class D switching amplifier, though Sonos won't say how many watts to each or in total.
Sonos describes the Playbar alone as a three-channel soundbar, though it has onboard Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus decoding to utilize the surround channels in a 5.1 bitstream, and it does throw surround information toward the back of the room. But it's not so simple as funneling, say, the left channel information straight into the left side drivers. A digital signal processor (DSP) monitors the signal and directs the sound based on frequency.
All six woofers are involved in reproducing the five primary channels in a soundtrack, and surround channel info is largely radiated toward the side walls. Proprietary phase array technology and the angled tweeters combine to broaden the front soundstage and give some illusion of a surround field. You can build the Playbar out to a full 5.1-channel system by adding the previously released SUB powered subwoofer ($699, Home Theater, October 2012) and a pair of dedicated powered rear surrounds, the compact Play:3 ($299 each, Home Theater, November 2011). These require AC power but are otherwise wireless. With the surrounds in the system, all of the left and right surround channel info in a Dolby Digital 5.1 track is sent to the speakers at the back of the room, and you end up with a three-channel LCR soundbar up front that utilizes processing to direct signals and discrete surrounds in the back.
The Playbar has a solid-feeling, acoustically sealed cabinet formed out of aluminum and high-impact plastic; it weighs in at 11.9 pounds. Though the cabinet has no ports or passive radiators involved in the low frequencies, the Playbar does achieve better than average bass for a standalone soundbar. We skipped our lab tests on this system because its undefeatable processing would prevent meaningful measurements with our standardized tests, but with the unit lying flat on a low table at the base of my projection screen, audio test tones suggest it started contributing noticeable bass at around 60 to 70 hertz, at least in my room.
While this might be suitable for some households and represents a big step up from typical TV speakers, my auditions proved rather quickly that anyone serious about either music or movies ought to budget for the SUB powered subwoofer. It costs as much as the Playbar, but in this case it's worth every one of those 69,900 pennies you'll raid the piggy bank for. This was my first experience with it, and it made me giddy with how low and tight it played and how well it mated with the Playbar. With its circular ported design featuring two opposing racetrack woofers that fire into the center of its glossblack donut cabinet, it was beautiful to look at and easy to place up front. The test tones revealed subjectively meaningful bass starting around 25 to 30 Hz in my room.
The last piece in our puzzle was the optional Play:3 powered speakers I used for dedicated surrounds. Though as a standalone speaker this compact unit won't deliver the authoritative bass of its larger sibling, the Play:5, it was fine here for surround effects (though only with the right content—see below).
Setting up Sonos and exploring the options for the Playbar in the iPad control app was easy. I plugged a Bridge wireless adapter ($49) into my router and ran the Sonos desktop software on my network-attached MacBook. The software took me through the process of adding the other audio components to the system by pressing a couple of their manual control buttons (volume up and mute).
Once all components are introduced, the Sonos control app provides volume, source selection, music library management, and a host of other options. I set up my Playbar to tap into a ripped iTunes-managed library that sits on another networked computer in the house and registered my Pandora and Songza accounts, two of the many streaming services Sonos has now integrated. The software played some electric bass notes to help me determine rough settings for phase and level for the SUB and queried me on the approximate distance to the surrounds from the prime listening seat to set rough delays. Since the Playbar does not come with a remote, the last step was to pick up whatever TV or cable-box stick I planned to use to control volume, point it at the Playbar, and click the volume up and down buttons on cue. In an instant, the unit was programmed to respond to the volume keys on the remote for my Channel Master TV DVR. The most difficult task was pointing Sonos at my iTunes library, but once I properly set up folder sharing on that computer by following the instructions that popped up on the Sonos app, the system found it with a network scan and hooked me right up. Next thing I knew, all my music, including album art, was available for scrolling and selection from the Sonos iPad and iPhone apps.
One nice thing I have noticed is that when I listen to Pandora via Sonos, I do not have to suffer Pandora's ads.
Rob - I've been meaning to get back here for awhile.
Thank you for this excellent and thorough review.
It really helped us make our decision about buying a Sonos Playbar. We decided to buy it and were able to do so with our eyes wide open.
We were concerned about the DTS lack of support but it
really hasn't been a problem.
We are absolutely thrilled with our purchase and eventually
added the full 5.1 with the Sub and two Play 3's.
With kids and a fairly big house, we found we didn't want to stop there and Sonos made it easy to get our whole house filled with sound from our iTunes library as well as all the streaming services.
Great having a house full of music - in-sync or chaotically out of sync (when we've got different music going in different rooms).
Thanks again for one of the better reviews we read at the time.
Any reader on the fence - Sonos gives a 45 day money back so
you have plenty of time to check it out.
I doubt once you have it that you'll want to return it.
It's hard to find any discounts but I did find a working free 2 day shipping code for Sonos on the following site.
Also - there's information there about how to get a free Sonos bridge when you buy a Play 3. That sale ends today or tomorrow (not sure).
If you've been thinking of buying any of the Sonos products, don't miss this opportunity to get a free Bridge. The link below has the details:
PS. We've now had our Sonos system for 7 months and we are even more in love with this system!
I sell the Sonos Playbar into many jobs and for what it offers it is a really great product. Coupled with the SUB it can have some serious punch in the right room.

The Titans have a big decision to make on Chris Johnson next spring.
But the way he's running lately, he's proving he has value to others, even if the Titans don't want to continue to pay him.
Johnson has overcome a slow start by averaging 117 yards per game since Week Four, making obvious that he still has something to offer.
"It's something I don't try and think about a lot, but it pops into my head and you know there have been things said or whatever," Johnson said, via Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean. "But it is a situation where if I am here I'll continue to do what I do, and if I'm not, I'm sure there are 31 other teams out there that would love to have me."
Of his $10 million in 2013 salary, $9 million becomes guaranteed on the fifth day of the league's waiver period. When he was slow out of the gate, the Titans writing that check might have seemed a long shot, though he's tried to block it out of his mind.
"When you get the big contract and stuff … people expect you to go for 2,000 yards every year," Johnson said. "I am sure whatever my number is at the end of the year, people are still going to have things to say that I didn't go over 2,000 yards or whatever.
"It's a situation where you really can't buy into that. You just sort of have to block those things out and do what you have to do."
Johnson has 862 rushing yards so far, which is on pace for the second-highest total of his career. When the high is a 2,006-yard season, that's not bad.

Dreams are sometimes what people retreat to when the reality before their eyes is too horrible to accept as the truth. It's no wonder, then, that a dreamer is at the heart of James McBride's spellbinding new novel Song Yet Sung.
This is a story of American slavery, but not one scene is spent on a Southern plantation with stereotypes of cruel white masters and cowering black slaves.
Instead, Liz Spocott is a wounded runaway slave who has already fled the plantation – only to find herself confounded by troubling visions of the future. She has been captured by a slave trader and chained up along with 14 other runaways in an attic. There, in whispers under the eaves, Liz learns about "the code" – a cryptic means of communication for slaves on the run – from an old woman "with no name." In turn, Liz shares her strange dreams. To her fellow inmates, she becomes the Dreamer.
Led in a revolt by Liz, the prisoners kill their black guard and spring free. Two die, six are recaptured, and four, plus Liz, vanish into the Maryland woods 80 miles from freedom's line.
Thus, tales of the strange and beautiful young woman who has future sight and magical powers spreads among the black community and it seems the whole world starts looking for her. Her master, Captain Spocott, who wants his "cuddle-pillow" back, sends a man to convince legendary slave-tracker Denwood Long to set down his fishing nets and come out of retirement to find Liz.
Patty Cannon, the slave trader, and her posse of a few ruffian white men and black men (used as decoys) are also in hot pursuit – driven by revenge and greed for the bounty on Liz's head.
Amber, a male slave of a young widow, meets Liz by chance and keeps her hidden in the hollow of an old tree. Captivated by her beauty and the recounting of her dreams, Amber falls in love.
The novel's action mostly takes place on the outskirts of civilization where racial lines of segregation and power are muddied: not all blacks behave as brothers, there appears to be a real sense of family between Amber and his owner, and the gimpy Denwood shows fissures of warmth in his cold, stone center. In the woods, every main character has moments of violent dominance and withering defeat. Adding to the drama, a small white boy and a small black boy vanish, and in the scramble to find them everyone must figure out if they should trust the color of their skin or the love in their hearts.
It's this common core of unpredictable human behavior, not entirely good and not entirely evil, that pulses through "Song Yet Sung."
McBride spins his tale out of a few historical facts: Patty Cannon was a real slave-trader, and the Dreamer was inspired by Harriet "Moses" Tubman, who also claimed to have instructive dreams. The novel's setting in Dorchester County, Md., where free blacks lived alongside enslaved blacks and where the Maryland watermen battled Virginia watermen over oysters in Chesapeake Bay, adds a natural tension.
In one scuffle, Liz's tracker Denwood fights a black man who has lived most of his life in the woods, not a slave but not completely free.
"Denwood felt as if he were wrestling the entire eastern shore and slavery itself, boiled into the broth of this man's ... steel-like arms, which gripped him with a cold-bloodedness he'd never known before, equal, he guessed to his own when he, too, was a slave: to money, to power, to drink, and to the ideas of others more powerful than he was."
In a sense, "Song Yet Sung" combines the mythology of an August Wilson script with the topsy-turvy world of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Everyone is running for something in the thicket and no one seems to be getting anywhere, except Liz. And she's not convinced escaping to the North will solve her problems.
Liz's future dreams will not be unfamiliar to the modern reader, dreams "of young black men in great cities who shot one another from horseless carriages, and of fat children who cried of starvation and ran from books like they were poison."
It isn't hard to decipher McBride's code that slavery persists in many forms. Although his characters live side by side there is no open trust, the firm imprint of an economy where families were torn apart with the fall of an auctioneer's mallet.
But human nature yearns to trust, which is why "the code," the language of the "gospel train" used by slaves to escape to the North, emerges as a powerful, silent player. Once a person shows he or she knows its meaning the wheels of the freedom train begin to turn.
Few actually find freedom in this tale. And with that, McBride implies that our work is left undone, we all have yet to find it in ourselves to trust and truly be free.

|MH-286 Sunglasses - Wildlife
Sunglasses' debut LP, Wildlife, is a winding collection of bright, eclectic journeys through the group's unique sonic universe. The duo of singer/multi-instrumentalist Samuel Cooper and sound designer Brady Keehn use everything from acoustic guitars to iPhones, seamlessly blending analogue with digital to immersive, psychedelic effect. They first gained attention with the ingenious video for "Whiplash," and Wildlife doubles down on that song's promise with epic tone and artistic maturity. Album opener "Namesake" tells listeners to "hold on," which is good advice at the beginning of a wild ride. Standout tracks like "Common Sense" and the furiously shifting "Blessing" push and pull in many different directions, as Sunglasses weaves between sun-drenched, Smile-inspired vibes and extensive detours into the lands of sound collage, synth pop, and hip-hop. With its crunchy drums and wailing guitars, album centerpiece "Swim" is cathartic wave of increasingly intense crescendos, while the titular track is a baroque excursion reminiscent of the Flaming Lips and Harry Nilsson. Each song has an underlying pop sensibility and an expansive quality that rewards repeat listens. Wildlife, by Sunglasses, is an excitingly creative debut.

The Sun's recent front page article on the hardships facing Maryland's federal government employees on furlough included one who was making $67,000 per year ("Sequester pains hit home," July 12).
I don't recall seeing front page coverage when Baltimore City employees faced furlough days, and I'm sure many of them didn't make $67,000.

As the ball jumped off Alex Gordon's bat and rose toward the right-field seats, the relief could be felt throughout Kauffman Stadium.
On the field. In the dugout. And especially in the grandstands.

They all exhaled when Gordon's three-run shot broke open the Royals' 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday and snapped the club's streak of seven games without a home run, the longest dry spell to open a season in franchise history.
The Royals, never a team known for power, had gone the first four games without a home run five times in their history, but not since 1993.
But on a warm April day, with the winds blowing out at 16 mph, Gordon muscled up in a five-run fifth inning against former Royal Jake Odorizzi, 1-1, eliciting a large cheer and exhale from the announced matinee crowd of 13,612 for the conclusion of the season-opening homestand.
The Royals downplayed the fact they were the last team in the major leagues to hit a home run but understood the significance of Gordon's 396-foot blast.
"It's nice to get three runs," manager Ned Yost said. "I don't care how we get 'em. I don't care if it's a home run, or it's two doubles … home runs are nice …"
Gordon, who had four RBIs in the game, struck the home run the way most homers are hit — by not trying to hit it out of the yard.
"This is a big park," Gordon said. "We're not going to hit a lot of home runs here. They're going to come. We knew that. We were trying not to do too much and stay within ourselves. Sometimes you put a good swing on it, and that happens.
"I'm sure we're going to hit more than one … so we'll play it from here."
Gordon's shot enabled starter Jeremy Guthrie, 2-0, to continue his April mastery. Guthrie, who worked the first seven innings, allowing one run and four hits, is now undefeated in his last eight April starts, dating to 2012 when he was with Colorado. Since then, he has gone 6-0 in the month.
The victory also was sparked by second baseman Johnny Giavotella, who was recalled from Omaha before the game as a replacement for injured Omar Infante. Giavotella had a hand in both the two-run fourth when the Royals grabbed the lead and in the Royals' five-run fifth, their most productive inning of the young season.
Guthrie was a little shaky in the early going, stranding five Tampa Bay runners in the first three innings. After Tampa Bay's Desmond Jennings hit a leadoff home run to centerfield in the fourth for a 1-0 lead, Guthrie retired 12 straight batters, with shortstop Alcides Escobar turning in several web gems for outs.
Escobar's best play may have been a back-to-the-infield, over-the-shoulder, basket catch of a pop fly to short left with one on and one out in the second inning.
"That's what good defense does," said Guthrie, who threw 109 pitches, 70 for strikes before giving way to Aaron Crow and Kelvin Herrera for the final two innings. "The ability to get out of a few jams … Escobar makes the tremendous play … You get out of jams because you throw strikes and the defense picks you up.
"On that ball to hit to shall left center that Escobar caught, you're already preparing for first and second and one out, how am I going to get out of this …? And the next thing you know, you've got two outs."
With the Royals down 1-0, Giavotella triggered a two-run fourth with a leadoff single. When the Royals exploded for five runs on six hits in the fifth, Giavotella was in the middle of the action again.
After Nori Aoki delivered an RBI triple for a 3-1 lead, Giavotella hit a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Aoki, and earning Giavotella a standing ovation from the fans behind the first-base dugout.
"That was a big at-bat," Yost said of Giavotella's sacrifice fly. "We're coming off a night like we had (Tuesday) night when we couldn't put together any kind of offensive outburst, and even score a run, so Nori comes up with the big triple to make it 3-1 and Gio with his sac fly was huge, it gave us a nice three-run lead. You can work with a three-run lead. And Gordie capped it with the three-run homer."
The win gave the Royals, 4-4, their second straight series win on the season-opening homestand, having taking two of three from the Chicago White Sox and the Rays.
"It was a great home stand for us," said Yost, whose team has a chance to assert itself in the AL Central race when it begins a six-game road trip on Friday to Minnesota and Houston.
"We came in here after two real close losses … we could have won either game in Detroit. To put together a 4-2 homestand … you want to win series. When you start a season, the focus is to win a series, win a series, win a series, and we've won two series. It was a real good homestand for us."

NBC News correspondents give their immediate reactions top the second debate betweem President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Testy exchanges over topics ranging from the economy to energy to women's rights dominated the second presidential debate between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, sparking vigorous commentary across the spectrum Tuesday night.
The rematch was a very different occasion from the first debate — a "throw-down," as NBC News' Brian Williams called it.
Here's a selection of the reaction from NBC News analysts and others:
Brian Williams, anchor of 'NBC Nightly News'
"In terms of energy, in terms of body language, in terms of flashes of genuine anger, the kind of DeNiro 'Raging Bull' factor on the floor of this event tonight, it was a vastly different event than any we have seen so far this election cycle.
"In terms of the phrases that may live forever: When Governor Romney said 'binders full of women' when talking about a search for employable Cabinet-level women in the state of Massachusetts. And 'it's just not true' was the president's rejoinder over and over."
David Gregory, moderator, 'Meet the Press'
"I think liberals can breathe a sigh of relief. It's not curtains for the president. He showed up and showed up big tonight. He was more aggressive; he had a lot of fight in him. A little light on his vision for the future, Brian — but no question he made a point of studying his opposition research on Romney. And as you mentioned, over and over again he said, 'What Mr. Romney said, what Governor Romney said just isn't true.'
Truth Squad: The second presidential debate
"Romney was strong, too, wrapping the economic troubles of the last four years around the president's neck. He stumbled on this issue of Libya, saying the president didn't call it an act of terror immediately. That's just not true, according to the transcript.
"A lack of civility in this debate, a lack of control at times, and I think in some cases there were some interesting questions, like the comparison between Romney and Bush, where I think voters would have benefited from a little more interaction, a little more debate in the debate."
Savannah Guthrie, NBC News White House correspondent
"I find it a little bit ironic since this debate was supposed to be all about a fight for female voters, and yet we see these two alpha males at one point circling each other on the stage.
"I think there's no question in watching the performances what the objectives were for each of these respective candidates. President Obama clearly wanted to 're-disqualify' Romney. The Obama campaign had had a good deal of success over the summer and fall portraying Mitt Romney as this uncaring, out-of-touch corporate titan. Clearly, President Obama wanted to get that image back into voters' minds attacking Mitt Romney from the very get-go and never letting up.
Obama, Romney bicker over the debate clock
"And Mitt Romney, on the other hand — his objective was clearly to connect with the ordinary voter. He had a softer tone many times, many times trying to show that empathetic soft side."
Chuck Todd, NBC News political director
"A good lawyer — I would imagine Savannah would agree with this — should know the answer to a question before you ask it. And that's where Mitt Romney, I think, stumbled there at the end on the Libya question.
"Overall, clearly a different President Obama. He came out wanting to make sure he let people know he wants a second term. He was much more engaged. Definitely seemed to study the Romney playbook. He appeared to take Romney as a more serious threat there.
"Romney was rather strong for the first half of the debate. But that Libya moment: You saw the president — you could tell by the way that they seemed to almost practice some of their motions. It was clear the president made the decision when Libya comes up, 'I'm going to stare Romney down right in his face' and vice versa. And that moment is going to be one that's going to be replayed and replayed.
Sharp exchanges between Obama, Romney at second debate
"We could debate whether what was the tone of what the president was inferring when he said 'act of terror' at the time of Libya. But Mitt Romney seemed to stumble, and he seemed to be rattled after that question. He was a different Mitt Romney, I would argue, for the last 15 minutes of that debate.
"Where does this set the race? I think this is one where both bases feel engaged by their guy. I think there's certainly some disappointment in the conservative base that Romney wasn't tougher on Libya. We're headed for a grind-it-out 22 days."
Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, discuss their candidate's performance during the second presidential debate.
Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign manager
"I think the president clearly dominated the debate. The American people saw a strong and decisive leader. That's because he laid out the facts, the facts of his record and where he wants to take this country, detailed plans.
"But he also exposed Mitt Romney for his lack of details on his plans and how his math doesn't add up on his tax plans — how his math doesn't add up on his jobs plan. And I think the more he exposed Mitt Romney on what he was saying in his facts, the more Mitt Romney got combative.
"It was a great debate. It was a great discussion. The president is very pleased. We were able to get out a strong, decisive case for why the president deserves a second term, and we're going to continue to fight for it."
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, Romney's practice debate opponent
"I think he (Obama) was even more annoying than I was at times. The president clearly came out as a different style tonight. We knew he was going to come out swinging, and he did. He telegraphed that he was going to do that. But that doesn't change his record and doesn't change his vision for the future.

"And Chuck Todd said earlier he didn't lay out a vision. I agree with that. You can change your style, but that doesn't change the reality that you've got a lousy record. He didn't try to defend it. Then you also haven't laid out for the undecided voter what's going to change in the next four years."
Poll: Who won the second debate?
NBC News analysis: Mitt Romney takes a limited view on oil and gas production on federal lands, while President Barack Obama is mistaken about Romney's stance on Detroit auto makers. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, on oil and gas production clash
"Oil production did fall by 14 percent offshore and onshore, but that was only in one year, from 2010 to 2011, and it was largely the result of fallout from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
"Mr. Obama is right. Since he took office, oil production on federal lands is up. Even with the 14 drop last year, overall production on federal lands is still up 10.6 percent since 2008.
"In terms of natural gas production, natural gas production on federal lands is down and has been declining since 2003, according to the Energy Information Administration, mainly because of a decline in offshore natural gas drilling."
Jim Nussle, budget director for former President George W. Bush
"I think both candidates appealed to their base. That was job one for both candidates and different than the first debate. I think President Obama performed well in energizing his base.
Jared Bernstein, Vice President Joe Biden's former chief economist; Sara Fagen, former aide to President George W. Bush; Keith Boykin, former White House aide to President Bill Clinton; and Jim Nussle, President George W. Bush's budget director, assess the debate.
"The second thing they had to do was appeal to the independent voters — the undecided voters, more especially, the people in the audience asking questions and people at home who still, believe it or not, have not made up their minds. ...
"I think the tenor of this debate is going to turn on the fact that the president still — again, this time for the independent voter, the undecided voter — did not lay out a plan for the future, and I think that's going to set the tone for the rest of this campaign."
Keith Boykin: White House aide to former President Bill Clinton
"I think the president ... did a good job of listing what his accomplishments are. He went through the 5.2 million jobs. He went through the 31 consecutive months of private-sector jobs growth. He mentioned the war in Iraq being ended. He mentioned the Osama bin Laden attack. He was successful throughout the night because for every single question, he pivoted and turned it into an attack on Mitt Romney, which is something he completely failed to do in the first debate."
Sarah Fagen, senior aide to former President George W. Bush
Romney "gave a devastating critique of Obama's tenure in office, all the things that he did from Obamacare that he thought was bad to Dodd-Frank — and then went on to say all the things he didn't do: immigration reform, Social Security reform, Medicare reform. That was, I thought, Mitt Romney's most effective moment."

Allergan Inc. said late Friday it will hold off on responding to Valeant's "re-revised" buyout offer, but the Botox maker didn't seem too thrilled that Valeant has unilaterally upped the ante.
Along with its statement saying it will consider a new bid from Valeant /quotes/zigman/122461/delayed /quotes/nls/vrx VRX offered just hours before, Allergan /quotes/zigman/217110/delayed /quotes/nls/agn AGN circulated a paper from BMO Capital Markets' analyst David Maris, who was unimpressed with the raised offer.
"We think the new bid, while higher, still substantially undervalues Allergan. We believe other moves, such as a buyback or dividend, or a combination with or acquisition of a more like-minded company is in the better interests of Allergan shareholders," Maris said in his note to clients.
Valeant didn't wait for a rejection of its revised offer for Allergan, made on Wednesday, before coming back with an increased bid on Friday. It was expected, though, that Allergan would turn Valeant down as Wall Street expressed the same sentiment with Wednesday's offer as Maris did with Friday's bid.
Valeant has been steadily increasing the cash component of its offer, going from its original plan of $48.30 a share several weeks ago to $72 a share. That cash is on top of 0.83 Valeant shares for every Allergan share. It makes the deal worth $56 billion, or roughly $189 a share.
The surprising move by Valeant to go ahead and up the ante before getting a reply to its last offer was perplexing to Maris.
"Just two days after Valeant CEO Mike Pearson said, 'I will assure you we are not going to keep offering against ourselves,' he is doing just that," Maris said in his note. "We think this comes after and as a reaction to the lukewarm reception to the previous raised bid. A simple question is: What changed in two days?"

A congressional committee asked the Department of Justice on Wednesday to prosecute a top tax official who's alleged to have improperly targeted conservative political organizations.
On a party-line vote, the House Ways and Means Committee asked the Justice Department to review evidence uncovered by lawmakers to determine whether Lois Lerner, the former head of the exempt organizations division of the Internal Revenue Service, violated criminal statutes.

The committee's Republican majority alleged that Lerner had influenced lower-level IRS officials to deny requests from conservative groups for tax-exempt status. The committee also charged that Lerner had impeded official probes with misleading statements to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and that she may have disclosed confidential taxpayer information by using her personal email to conduct official business.
"Almost a year ago we learned that the IRS subjected certain groups to extra scrutiny because of their political beliefs. At the time, Lois Lerner shamefully attempted to blame the mistreatment on low-level employees in Cincinnati," said Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. "The investigation to date has demonstrated that the targeting did not happen until IRS headquarters in D.C. intervened."
The conservative group Tea Party Patriots applauded Camp's vote.
"Lois Lerner owes it to the American people to tell the truth about what she and the IRS did to strip citizens of their First Amendment rights," said Jenny Beth Martin, a co-founder of the group.
William W. Taylor III, Lerner's attorney, fired back quickly after Wednesday's vote.
"Ms. Lerner has done nothing wrong. She did not violate any law or regulation. She did not mislead Congress," Taylor said in a statement to McClatchy. "She did not interfere with the rights of any organization to a tax exemption. Those are the facts."
Taylor also criticized Camp.
"We have not heard from the House Ways and Means Committee. Nor has the committee previously issued a report of its findings," he said. "The committee's referral affects nothing. The Department of Justice is already investigating the IRS. This is just another attempt by Republicans to vilify Ms. Lerner for political gain."
Lerner was at the center of controversy last year when she revealed, in an answer to a planted question at a conference, that the IRS had engaged in inappropriate scrutiny of applications for tax-exempt status by conservative groups, particularly those with "Tea Party" in their names. The ham-handed way in which the revelation was handled resulted in President Barack Obama firing then-acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller.
Lerner later provided a long, defensive opening statement at a hearing last year by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, then refused to take questions from lawmakers, citing her Fifth Amendment rights. She was called back last month and, with Taylor at her side, cited those rights again.
The DOJ on Wednesday wouldn't confirm reports that it's already interviewed Lerner, and it said that its own probe continued.
"As the department has repeatedly confirmed, there is already an active, ongoing investigation into the IRS's handling of applications by tax-exempt organizations," said Emily Pierce, a spokeswoman. "It remains a high priority of the department. We will review the letter once we receive it and take it under consideration."
The chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, California Republican Darrell Issa, said last year that by giving her opening statement and reviewing some documents presented by the committee, Lerner had waived immunity from testifying. Issa's committee is expected to meet Thursday to discuss contempt proceedings against Lerner, who retired from the IRS last fall.
Issa's committee issued a voluminous staff report March 11, releasing numerous private emails from Lerner and selective slices of interviews with IRS officials conducted by committee investigators. Full transcripts of those interviews were not released.
Republicans say the emails show Lerner, a Democrat and former Federal Election Commission official, targeting conservatives. The emails, reviewed by McClatchy, generally show Lerner most concerned about a Supreme Court ruling that made it easier for unlimited corporate donations to move to political campaigns and how they might improperly flow through tax-exempt organizations.
They also showed her sending around news reports about donors avoiding disclosure by giving to a type of tax-exempt organization that's allowed to spend on campaigns as long as its primary function is promoting the vague term "social welfare." Lerner expected the matter to go to the courts, and she pushed in emails for cases that might speed a legal challenge. Some of the Lerner emails reference Crossroads GPS, the large operation founded by former Bush administration adviser Karl Rove.
"The House Ways and Means Committee investigation confirms that there was an organized high-level effort within the IRS to subvert the agency's own standards and procedures in order to harass law-abiding conservative advocacy groups like Crossroads GPS," Steven Law, the group's president, said in a statement.

Following a predictable sweep of Lincoln University and an encouraging road win at East Stroudsburg University, Chestnut Hill College played its home volleyball opener last Wednesday against one of the teams the Griffins will be battling for the middle ground in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
Ranked seventh in the Southern Division in the CACC preseason poll, host CHC (3-2 overall) succumbed to number four Georgian Court (Lakewood, NJ) in four sets. It was the second conference match for the local netters, who opened up with another 1-3 setback against Caldwell College, the team that received the most first place polling votes both in the Northern Division and overall.
Despite losing junior middle hitter and team co-captain Cassie Benson to an ankle injury just a few minutes into Wednesday's tilt, the Griffins didn't go gently into the rainy night, turning in scores of 22-25, 25-19, 17-25 and 22-25.
The count was just 2-2 when Benson went down in the initial set. The Griffins hung close up to 13-15, then the Eagles spread the score to 14-21. Chestnut Hill rallied, and eventually a hard hit by sophomore middle Mary Markowski and a well-placed tip by her classmate Alex DePalma (left outside) pulled the hosts into a 22-all tie with Georgian Court.
CHC coach Kim Feeney had talked before the season about the need for her charges to maintain their mental focus, but that slipped away a bit at the end of set one. The Griffins coughed up the ball on a serve wide to the right, then sent hits into the net and out over the baseline to help the Eagles secure a 25-22 victory.
Refocused for the second set, the home girls jumped out to an 8-2 lead and remained ahead the rest of the way. Three kills apiece from DePalma and freshman middle Katie Schock and six assists from freshman setter Sidney Chukuntarod helped the Griffins take the set well in hand at 23-14.
The visitors stubbornly held out for a few more points before Chestnut Hill sealed the deal at 25-19. The winners saw tenacious defense from Chukuntarod, senior Alyssa Miller, and junior libero Liz DiGregorio.
CHC fired the opening shot in the third set, then the Eagles soared ahead, 6-1.
Later on the Griffins called time out when they got down 8-14, needing to start a rally without delay. Instead, Georgian Court captured four of the next five points to double up CHC at 9-18. The Jersey girls went on to win, 25-17.
Determined to close out the match, Georgian Court took a 6-1 lead in the fourth frame, but CHC stopped its slide and climbed back within a point of the visitors at 11-12. The Griffins hit the ball out over the sideline on the next play, and they missed other opportunities to draw even with the Eagles later on.
Just one point behind at 21-22, CHC couldn't handle a hit by Tatiana Rodriguez, one of four Georgian Court recruits from Puerto Rico. Chestnut Hill was unable to return the following serve, but got a momentary reprieve when the Eagles were called for a carry, making it 24-22. The visitors ended the match on the next exchange, and the Griffins were left pondering how they might make that next big step in conference competition.
DePalma paced the CHC attack with 14 kills for the evening, followed by Schock, with six, and Markowski, with five. Chukuntarod finished with 29 assists in the match.

At last! MKW becomes the first site on the net to have all special moves and endings for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon! Make no mistake, I'm not rubbing it in the face of fellow MK fansites' webmasters, but it's just that every time a new MK game came out I took like weeks and even months to start updating with content about the game. But this time is different, only 5 days after I got the game the section of it is full of information, this is certainly a direct attack to procrastination's weak point for massive damage.
Within each character pages you'll find: a cut out images, special moves movelist, an alternate costume picture* and the text & video of the character's ending (video ripped by ]{0MBAT, text done by me).
Without further ado, select your fighter!
I'm still kinda dissapointed at the fact that the game has no bios, but as you probably know there is a slight probability that the MK Team will release bios online, I'm looking forward to that, I bet it will happen.
Also, yesterday Sub-Zero posted a full finisher list on his MySpace page, and I've copied it here separated in two pages: Normal Character Finisher List and Boss Finisher list.
But that's not all! There's more to come still, including 34 arena renders and the Death Trap Theater, stay tuned!
(*) The characters without an alternate costume are: Mokap, Chameleon, Daegon, Onaga, Moloch, Meat, and Blaze.
75 responses to "MKA: All 62 Endings Uploaded and More!"
BTW, Motaro rapers? What kind of gaylord would rape MOTARO??????????
scorpion noob sub-zero reptile and rain has the best ending
Alright, to cover as much ground as possible:
-Motaro has two legs so that he's actually playable in this game. Giving him four legs would screw up collision detection, turning circles and jumping (ie, you'd have to jump a mile to get over him). It would look stupid. Furthermore, they'd need to do specific fatality and death trap animations just for Motaro. It simply isn't worth the hassle and I'm glad they did what they did and included him.
-Frootloops, of course Bo' Rai Cho is in the game, he's been an important character for the past two. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he shouldn't be in- same goes for people who can't see how hilarious and awesome Mokap is (I mean, come on, he can shoot fire but people hate him because of his occupation?). Yes, adding Meat over Khameleon is an odd move but Meat was probably easy for them to put in quickly- he's a slightly remodelled Drahmin. Not gonna deny the lack of Khameleon is a shame but I'll live.
-MK versus SF is highly unlikely. Even though it'd bring in major bucks, Capcom wouldn't do it for a combination of reasons, likely including the fact they're perhaps more lazy than Midway, a company who are infamous for acts of what fans term laziness. Here we are in 2006 and the only Street Fighter games we get are old 2D remakes, generally of SFII.
-I've heard the bios are, indeed, going to be posted online, following the format of that Ermac bio in the Krypt. While this is great in a way (the Ermac bio was directed really well) it does worry me- the Ermac bio was just his MKD one. 62 of those with nothing new would just leave us where we are right now.
what other close hit combos can UMK3 Mileena do? Besides HP,HP,HK,HK,U+HK,U+LK
L T Dangerous, what about that Shinnok issue? About shapeshifting?
someone update this website!!!A how to kreate famous people section* would be great!!!!
*like: color:h3 Pants:karate Belt:sah and this stuff
I cant stop laughing from what must ash said !
I think there will be a sequel to mortal kombat armageddon what do you think? well especialy after i saw scorpions nding i think there will be a sequel
they might make a scorpion game when i just saw scorpion ending
L T Dangerous, Capcom vs Sammy (Guilty Gear) Is currently in progress. Capcom is making about 50 completely hi-rez characters in Guilty Gear stlye. And Capcom won't team up with midway beacause they're rivals in this buisness, ant their gameplay is too different today.
There was pictures made before though :P
(Murdionk will hate me for prasing Capcom)
Shinnok doesn't have those powers 'cause Midway is Lazy and the game wouldn't balance it out well… and it's Shang Tsung that has those powers… and there is gonna be a sequel, but it won't be from MKA… and none of these endings are canon except Blaze's…
October 15 was the last update for mk warehouse im still waiting an it is november 10 th !
i think the canon ending is Taven's one
Shinnok and Shang Tsung don't have shapeshifting powers because it would take forever to load during a match and disrupt gameplay to the Nth degree. Plus, could you really remember 61 different codes just to morph?
i have the game mka and i think that the konquest mode is way to short i played and then like 3-4 hours later beat he game, i think that it shold have been longer :( but i still think mortal kombat rules, i love the mk universe so much to learn about a fictional thing……
me personally da game is great but they gotta be out of there mind puttin 2 legs on motaro when in mk3 he was scarry lookin and more of a challenge and 2nd of all why 1 game of motor kombat they should of keept chess kombat and motor kombat and the best yet make a mortal kombat baseball game now that would be really cool 4 fun or a basketball game but konquest is good better then shujinko and action iz great but cmon u gotta admit the ones that died in mkda why bring them back itz stupid and not making n e sence n e more in the mortal kombat world and kreate a fighter 100% good i enjoy that but that game should be remake again i dout it cuz midmay iz lazy and make everything making sence just like mk1 mk2 mk3 mk4 umk3 mkda mkd but this 1 mka gots 2 go it waz release 2 fast
1 more thing da game haz no bios it suks
i just want to know how to use the alternate costumes (for ps2) , i had already unlock them all but i don't know how to use them..
Hey,now that you have entered all this,this place will be my ultimate mk place!Thanks murdoink!
I just got the game, and I have no idea where to unlock stuffs, can you just post these?
My comment on the games? hmm, it is nice enough to have all MK together to compete. Too bad there is no-bios and no movie ending, or at least a few pictures to be ending. The chess kombat, the best mini game was also taken out. Also, a few minor problems: Shang Tsung can't even morph, Mavado, Quan Chi has not enough combos and alot of player shares the same fighting style.
MKA armageddon will be cool at first then as you sit there and check out the endings and konquest mode youll find out MKT was alot better……..
Looking for information and found it at this great site…
Excellent read. I observed your website from a google search, and was glad i did. The data has helped me immensely.
Admirable website! I'll most likely be referencing some of this information in my next speech. I would appreciate it if you visited my blog at

According to Wikipedia:
- IceWM is a window manager for the X Window System graphical infrastructure, written by Marko Maček. It was coded from scratch in C++ and is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. It is relatively lightweight in terms of memory and CPU usage, and comes with themes that allow it to imitate the UI of Windows 95, OS/2, Motif, and other graphical user interfaces". Configurability and presence of simple session management places IceWM between simplest DEs and feature-rich WMs.
IceWM can be installed from official repositories with package icewm.
Alternatively, the latest version from the testing branch (icewm-testingAUR) and CVS version (icewm-cvsAUR) are available from the AUR. These versions add new features and bugfixes (due to slow development they are often equal with extra/icewm).
Running as stand-alone WM
To run IceWM as a stand-alone window manager, append the following to
exec icewm
icewm-session will run icewm, icewmbg and icewmtray, so appending the following to
~/.xinitrc implements basic session management:
exec icewm-session
See xinitrc for details, such as preserving the logind (and/or consolekit) session.
IceWM as a WM for desktop environments
Actions required to use IceWM with DE are basically same as ones for Openbox (and probably any other WM).
Although IceWM configuration is originally text-based, there are GUI-based tools available, notably icewm-utils in [community]. However these tools are relatively old and most users prefer to simply edit the text configuration files. Configuration changes from defaults can be made either system wide (in /etc/icewm/) or on a user-specific basis (in ~/.icewm/).
To change your icewm configuration from the default, simply copy the default configuration files from
/usr/share/icewm/ to
~/.icewm/, for example:
$ mkdir ~/.icewm/ $ cp -R /usr/share/icewm/* ~/.icewm/
preferencesis the core configuration file for IceWM.
menucontrols the contents of the IceWM application menu.
keysallows the user to customize keyboard shortcuts
toolbarrow of launcher icons on the taskbar
winoptionsbehavior of individual applications
themetheme path/name
startupscript or command (must be executable) executed on startup
shutdownthe same for shutdown
Note: startup commands that install system tray applets must be preceded by sleep 1 &&, otherwise IceWM will create an ugly black window that will prevent it from quitting; in that case, use xkill on the task bar.
- menumaker from [community] is a Python script that automatically populates your applications menu based on what is installed in your system. Although this may result in a menu filled with many unwanted applcations, it may still be preferable to manually editing the menu configuration file. When running MenuMaker, use the -f flag to overwrite an existing menu file:
# mmaker -f icewm
- Another tool written in perl is the archlinux-xdg-menu:
# xdg_menu --format icewm --fullmenu --root-menu /etc/xdg/menus/arch-applications.menu > ~/.icewm/menu
Some themes are included by default, much larger selection is available in the icewm-themes package in the repository, but even the best of them have a spartan, 'old Windows' feel. Much better examples (like [1], [2] or [3]) can be found at box-look.org.
File Managers
It should be noted that IceWM is a window manager only and therefore does not include a file manager. PCManFM and Rox Filer enable desktop icons, but iDesk can also be used to achieve this functionality.

HAMPTON – You will commit errors and make mistakes, the All-Star shortstop and one-time National League Most Valuable Player told a couple of dozen youngsters hanging on his every word, so there's no point in worrying about the inevitable.
Play fearlessly, the Philadelphia Phillies' Jimmy Rollins said, because if you think about making errors, you will make more than you would by simply playing.
In other words, play Ugandan. More on that in a moment.
Rollins was a guest instructor at the Virginia Baseball Academy on Saturday as a favor to longtime friend and former Phillies' teammate Wayne Gomes.

More Than 50,000 Tickets Sold For U.S. Men's National Team Match Against Five-Time World Champions Brazil on Aug. 10 in New Jersey
Game at New Meadowlands Stadium to Showcase Venue Part of USA's Bid for FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022;
Advance Tickets Still Available Via Ticketmaster and ussoccer.com
CHICAGO (July 30, 2010) — More than 50,000 tickets have been sold for the U.S. Men's National Team's match against five-time world champions Brazil at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Kickoff for the USA's first match following the 2010 FIFA World Cup is slated for 8 p.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and Univision.
Advance tickets are still available through ussoccer.com, by phone at 1-800-745-3000, at all area Ticketmaster ticket centers, and at the IZOD Center ticket office (open Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Groups of 30 or more can obtain an order form at ussoccer.com or call 312-528-1290.
"We're excited about the opportunity to play at a brand new world-class stadium against one of the top teams in the world," said U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley. "We are especially pleased to be able to play in front of the fans who gave such remarkable support during the tournament this summer. There has been a tremendous reaction around the country to the team since we returned from South Africa, and we expect an incredible atmosphere."
Brazil will be led by newly named head coach Mano Menezes, who named a 24-player roster to travel to the U.S. that includes four players who were part of Brazil's 2010 FIFA World Cup squad. Robinho, Ramires, Dani Alves and Thiago Silva were all part of Dunga's team which was eliminated by World Cup finalists Netherlands. Menezes also included several exciting players who weren't on the World Cup roster, including young talents like AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato and Neymar of Santos.
The teams last met in the final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, where the U.S. jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan before Brazil rallied for a 3-2 victory.
Recently opened in 2010, the New Meadowlands Stadium is one of 18 stadiums that is part of the bid to bring the FIFA World Cup to the United States in 2018 or 2022.
