I agree they are a powerhouse, and as long as the "BOYS" don't win it, I'm good with the Giants winning it! LOL
From what I am reading and hearing, it seems that the defensive star, Osi Umenyiora is not what he used to be from the leg injury. If that is the case, the defense will miss the level of play from a key player who elevates the play of the rest of the team.
I'm going to the Giants/Falcons game. SHould be good!
You got it!
<Vikings have some MONSTERS ----- on 'both' sides of the ball!!>
No INT machine. He will be Managing the game.
Just ship the Lombardi Trophy to Winter Park right now!
Tsunami" Ad Offends Memory of September 11 Tragedy

It's enough to turn your stomach. Or, if you're a New Yorker who lived through the September 11th attacks, give you a serious case of the heebie-jeebies.
A new ad purportedly for the World Wildlife Fund features dozens of airplanes converging on lower Manhattan -- featuring the Twin Towers -- with the line "The Tsunami Killed 100 Times More People Than 9/11."
The ad was first brought to our attention by Gothamist, but was originally picked up by Adweek.com's AdFreak blog, which reports that the ad is from the Brazilian arm of the WWF.
Sure, the 2004 tsunami was a horrible tragedy that killed over 200,000 people, and probably gets less media attention in the West than it deserves, but that's no reason to pick a fight with victims of another horrible tragedy.
AdWeek called the print add "tasteless and nightmarish," but that's putting it mildly.
The final line in the ad is "The planet is brutally powerful. Respect it. Preserve it."
AdFreak notes that the ad won an award in the "public awareness sector" and is credited to agency DDB Brasil for WWF-Brazil -- but ran in Israel, of all places.
A representative for the US headquarters of WWF said they had been unaware of the offensive poster until today.
"We are actively investigating the source of the ad now, but we strongly condemn both the message and the images portrayed," said the WWF-US spokesman Steve Ertel.
WWF-Brasil didn't return emails for comment>
How true!
<10x - That's why we play the game>
VIKINGS WIN SUPERBOWL......
A headline I have been waiting decades to see!
My Pick for week one is Baltimore.
What a way to start the season for Chiefs fans. Preseason should be 2 weeks and that's it. But as usual, everything is about money.
That's good! It should be interesting to see how far INBG can go if all goes well with WISCO and BSI!
China builds new homes and schools in Sichuan.....
<China builds new homes and schools in SichuanCHENGDU: China has built the country's first special complex of new apartment buildings and schools for orphans and children of needy families in southwestern Sichuan province.
The province is still recovering from last year's devastating earthquake that measured 8 on the Richter scale.
A group of 712 children aged between eight and 14, of whom 338 are orphans, moved into the complex known as "Ankang Jiayuan" (Homestead of Well-being) in Shuangliu County Wednesday.
The complex consists of two new apartment buildings, a primary school and a middle school. In addition to teachers, there are 80 specially-trained tutors to take care of the children's everyday necessities.
"It is beautiful here and I have no worries," said 13-year-old Luo Haowei from Yingxiu Township of Wenchuan County, the epicenter of last year's quake. He lost his parents in the disaster.
"All my teachers and schoolmates are very nice. We treat each other as close relatives," he said. "I will study hard and repay all of those who care about me with a good school record."
Wang Yanmei, one of the tutors, said she will attend to the children to the best of her ability.
"In my eyes, they are my own children," she said.
The "Ankang Jiayuan" project, the first of its kind specially built for Sichuan quake survivors, was initiated by the Beijing-based China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF) after the disaster left more than 87,000 people dead or missing.
"Our fund started arranging the transfer of the children in Sichuan to other provinces not long after the quake, with the hope of helping them get rid of the psychological shadow and to offer a safe environment for their study and living," said the CCTF's Dr. Zhang Hefeng.
"Most of the children in "Ankang Jiayuan" studied and lived in Rizhao City, eastern Shandong province for a year before they came back to Sichuan in June this year," Zhang said.
Currently, "Ankang Jiayuan" is China's largest base to accommodate Sichuan quake orphans, and CCTF plans to build more complexes in the future, he said.
Construction of the sheltered environment was started in August last year and has cost almost 100 million yuan (US$14.7 million), which was donated by the Rizhao Steel Holding Group.
"Our company will continue to pay all the tuition fees for all the children until they finish middle school," said Wang Lifei, the company's deputy general manager.

I guess as the NFC conference favorites, they SHOULD be deadly! Anyway, the Vikings will kick their butts! LOL
That was a classic line! LOL
Funny video here- Viking related of course!
Wrong and wrong
<Yeung pumping $$ into this company never happened>
Mr. Yeung agreed to immediately pay off an aggregate of $202,470 of the Company's liabilities
<There is no mention of him loaning money to this company anywhere in the Qs or Ks>
The cash to pay the liabilities was received by the Company in March 2007
<And stock was sold into the market to pay that bill>
Had nothing to do with your above comments.
Have fun!
Right.Teams like Giants and Philly.
no I don't Mick. I would guess around 6-1 or so.
Thanks. I like to stray from the favorites.
My dark horse team pick for this season is "Seattle Seahawks".
Hello Mick, hope all is well with you.
Division. Agrred. I think the standard is much higher considering they won the division last season with Jackson at Q.B.
Gedi,Exactly, any partnerships and we fly! That 3 billion share number extremely off base.No surprise about that.
Gedi,I agree. You get what you pay for and there is a reason this is the PPS it is.I don't lose sleep over it either way, but I won't complain if Yeung hits it big! LOL!
Gedi, from the Filing...(It's time for Yeung to crap or get off the pot).
<Meanwhile, the Company is in negotiations of entering into Memorandum of Understanding (MOUS) with a major steel structure contractor in China, together with two U.S. companies in the business of light steel structures and steel construction material, to form Joint Venture companies to manufacture, supply and install the steel structure products to the projects in China, including the Suijiang New Town projects, as well the projects in the earthquake regions of Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces. Other than as a partner and investor in the possible Joint Venture companies, the Company will also be directly involved with the management and coordination of the Joint Venture companies, as well the projects in China.
The Company believes that as a partner of the Joint Venture companies, the coming projects will not only bring in revenue to the Company but also add solid assets from the percentage of share of the Joint Venture companies that the Company will own. The Company believes that it will maintain stable income by providing management and coordination to the Joint Venture companies and the projects in China, as well the profit sharing from the Joint Ventures companies in accordance to the percentage that the Company will own>
FFF, only 1.6 O/S as of this filing. Not bad. R/S will not happen anytime this year. Regarding the O/S count, some posters who thought we were going to see 3 Billion O/S were way off base. But that doesn't surprise me as there was no proof to back-up those opinions.
10Q filed...
Can Yeung keep the ship afloat! LOL!

Source: Favre to sign with Vikings....
ESPN.com news services
A source close to Brett Favre said the quarterback, pending a physical, will sign a contract with the Minnesota Vikings for between $10 million to $12 million, according to ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
Vikings coach Brad Childress confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press Tuesday morning that Favre, 39, was traveling from Mississippi to meet with the team.
Asked if the plan was to sign Favre on Tuesday, Childress replied: "In a perfect world."
Bus Cook, Favre's agent, said it was "a done deal," according to USA Today.
"He thinks he still has something left in the tank and I think it will work well," Cook told USA Today.
Favre, a longtime star in Green Bay, came out of retirement last season to play for the New York Jets. He retired again, only to then entertain the idea of joining the Vikings. Last month, Childress said the quarterback would stay retired.
The pronouncement now appears to be premature.
According to Mortensen, the Vikings had sent their private plane to Hattiesburg, Miss., and left with Favre on it at 10 a.m. ET. The plane was expected to land in Minneapolis at about noon ET; Favre is expected to take a physical later Tuesday.
Two television stations reported that Favre was seen boarding a plane Tuesday morning that was headed to Minneapolis.
Sources told Hattiesburg television station WDAM, which initially broke the story, that Favre had said: "We may know something by dinner."
Fantasy: What to expect
Brett Favre's addition to the Vikings should be a boon to the cast around him, ESPN.com Fantasy analyst Matthew Berry believes.
While Favre is just a borderline top-20 fantasy quarterback (he was 16th in points among QBs in 2008, Adrian Peterson and Bernard Berrian should see boosts in production.
The presence of Favre makes Adrian Peterson the consensus No. 1 pick. Berry previously had Peterson ranked No. 2 behind Michael Turner.
Also, Berrian is now a top-20 fantasy receiver. He is currently ranked No. 26 in ESPN.com average draft position.
ESPN.com projections:
• Favre: 3,294 passing yards; 21 TDs; 19 INTs
• Berrian: 73 receptions; 1,150 yards; 7 TDs
• Peterson: 1,701 rushing yards; 11 rushing TDs; 22 receptions; 184 receiving yards; 3 receiving TDs
• 2009 Draft Kit | Blog
A high-level source first told Minneapolis TV station WCCO that Favre was expected to sign a deal with the Vikings on Tuesday.
The Vikings finished training camp last week and beat Indianapolis 13-3 in their preseason opener Friday. They got a strong performance from quarterback Sage Rosenfels, who has been competing with Tarvaris Jackson for the starting job since Favre jilted the team July 28.
Favre, who holds almost all of the NFL's career passing records, has never been much of a fan of offseason practices, though. Last summer, he ended his retirement with the Packers and forced a trade to the Jets, where he faded down the stretch amid problems with his throwing arm.
He had arthroscopic surgery to fix that in May, spent this summer working out with players from a local high school in Mississippi, and led everyone to believe he was on his way back to the NFL until his surprising announcement last month.
"It was the hardest decision I've ever made," Favre told ESPN then. "I didn't feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable."
The next day, Childress was asked whether there was a chance the Vikings would still pursue Favre at a later point. He said: "Not from my standpoint, no." Vikings owner Zygi Wilf reiterated that pledge during the first week of training camp.
And yet, here comes Favre, who turns 40 in October. He said last month he didn't think he had enough left to get through a full season.
"I had to be careful not to commit for the wrong reasons," Favre said then. "They were telling me, 'You went through all this, you had the surgery and you've got to finish it off.' But I have legitimate reasons for my decision. I'm 39 with a lot of sacks to my name."
The Vikings are expected to challenge for the NFC North title this season, with whomever is behind center.
Rosenfels and Jackson have had some rough moments during practice. Jackson hurt his knee, missed a few workouts and then returned, but he was out of sync last week against the Colts.
Rosenfels did well, but preseason games are tough to evaluate and Indianapolis held out all four starting defensive backs.
On Monday, Jackson, responding to the day's scuttlebutt that Favre was predicted to play in Minnesota this season, said he was not paying attention to any of the talk.
"I pretty much have said [Favre] probably will follow me even when I retire. I'll probably have to hear about it. I'm just trying to take care of my business, and I can't worry about that stuff," Jackson said, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "If I let that stuff get to me, ain't no telling where I'd be right now. I just let it roll off my shoulder and just keep going. Just keep trying to get better."

Good morning zortak!
Good morning all!INBG looking good! With WISCO and BSI in the picture,the future looks great with INBG!!
FFF, the non A/S or R/S that you and others have been predicting that never came to fruition, I'm sure that must be quite painful. Yes, I know, wait, it will eventually come!
Not reallly FFF. INBG is all in fun and you know that as I have said it numerous times!
How come no Comment on NUAN? I gave it to you at $6.00 and you know where it is now! (And yes I took profit)
Really FFF? Did WISCO say that? I don't think that's the case.
< INBG has anything to offer a successful company like WISCO>
And why don't you do some DD and contact BSI and see if they tell you they're NOT in negotiations with INBG.
I'll await your reply.
More volume. Very nice!
I saw that. Amazing!
Gedi, WISCO is goverment owned. How do you think Yeung was able to get in with them? Maybe another bogus filing on his part!
