The Vikings fumed about the non-call on the 2-point try when it appeared Cedric Thornton hit Bradford’s facemask, which is an illegal hit on a quarterback. Bradford threw his hands to the sky in exasperation after the play.
Saying that it's just us who isn't getting the calls. This is a league wide deal. Every time you turn on the tape you see it. Done!!!!
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan celebrated its national day on Saturday with a military parade showcasing its missiles, tanks and aircraft, even as the prime minister and his Indian counterpart exchanged goodwill messages in a sign of easing tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals.
Pakistan's President Arif Alvi marked the national day by saying the region needs peace, not war, and that Pakistan wants to live peacefully with its neighbors. He said Pakistan's war is against hunger, poverty and unemployment.
Later Saturday, President Alvi held a ceremony in which he honored military officers and accomplished civilians in their respective fields. The presidency also announced that Naeem Rashid, who was killed trying to stop the gunman who attacked two New Zealand mosques earlier this month, will be honored posthumously late...

While everyone else is making the obligatory pencai or roast pork, here are two traditional - but unique and seldom-made - recipes that will make your table stand out this Chinese New Year.
Forget the usual roast or stewed duck this Chinese New Year - learn how to make this stuffed version that's a beloved family recipe. More Vanishing Home Recipes here.
SINGAPORE: The last time Madam Tang Bee Leng made the dish was more than 20 years ago.
There’s a good reason for that, as well as for the fact that a dish once available in local Chinese restaurants some 50 years ago has since virtually disappeared.
It’s certainly not the taste – deep-fried chicken skin stuffed with minced meat is as sinfully good as it sounds. No, the daunting factor for any homecook or chef is the laborious preparation, one that involves painstakingly removing an entire chicken skin intact, in one piece.
It is a true test of patience as the skin is delicate, some parts more so than others. With knife in one hand, Mdm Tang, 67 - who has been cooking since she was seven - makes small slits in the membrane separating the skin and flesh, then tugs gently at the skin with the other hand.
One wrong cut can ruin everything.
It takes some 20 minutes of meticulous, slow wrestling. With one final victorious slit and separation of skin, “now I strip you naked!”, she crows at the chicken carcass.
The skin will go on to be pinned to a bamboo mat, and a layer of minced chicken spread on top of it, before it’s deep-fried.
The reward for any homecook who attempts it this Chinese New Year, is the surety of impressing their family and guests with what Mdm Tang calls “a forgotten dish”.
“If anyone know where to find this now, please let me know. So I can refresh my memory (of the recipe),” she says somewhat wistfully.
Another of her favourite dishes is Eight-Treasure Celestial Duck - which needs six hours just for steaming alone.
It is a family favourite at every reunion dinner.
Mdm Tang, who posts her recipes on a blog for posterity’s sake, understands that the long preparation time for traditional dishes like these deter people who prefer quick and easy online recipes.
Here are the recipes for both dishes. Each serves 4-6 people.
1. Remove the innards and pluck any stray feathers using a kitchen tweezer.
2. Chop off the webbed feet, but leave the neck, head and ‘bishop’s nose’ (tail of the duck) intact.
3. Exfoliate the skin using coarse salt. Rinse with water and pat dry with a paper kitchen towel.
6. Remove the duck. Pour the oil into a bowl.
7. Boil lotus seeds for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, remove the skin and split into half to remove the core. Wash and set aside.
8. Remove shells from gingko nut using a hammer. Peel the skin and split the nut into half by driving a toothpick through its core to remove it. Wash, drain and set aside.
9. Soak dried mushrooms until soft. Cut into thin strips.
10. Wash the dried mandarin peel and barley. Set aside.
11. Wash and cut the pork into strips.
12. Add 2 tbsp of duck oil into the wok. When hot, add the pork and stir-fry over medium heat for a few minutes.
13. Add ginger and fry.
While the order of the rest of the treasures does not matter, it’s important the pork and ginger be cooked together first, says Mdm Tang.
14. Add the rest of the stuffing ingredients and fry for another few minutes.
15. Remove, drain, and keep gravy separately.
16. Fill the belly of the duck with the stuffing.
17. Sew up the duck with butcher’s twine and a thick needle.
18. Place the whole duck in a deep pan. Add half a bowl of water and stuffing gravy.
19. Wrap the tray with aluminum foil to contain the aromas from the duck during steaming.
21. Remove the duck. Remove the twine before serving.
1. Using a sharp knife, make a slit in the skin, between the chicken breasts. Peel apart the skin gently on both sides.
2. Flip the chicken onto its side and work on the thigh. When you reach the end of the drumstick, twirl the skin around your finger and pull hard to get the skin off the bone. Repeat on the other side.
3. Now to the back of the chicken, which will take more time. Make small slits in the membrane (between the skin and meat) along to way to help.
4. The chicken wings are the only parts that cannot be removed. Chop the wings with skin attached off the body.
5. Lastly, pull the skin towards the neck and chop off the carcass. The skin should be in one piece.
6. Use the knife to lightly scrape off excess fats under the skin.
7. Coat the skin with light soya sauce. Leave to dry for at least 2 hours.
8. Remove the breasts. Mince with a butcher’s knife.
9. Put the minced prawn and chicken in a bowl. Add the sunflower oil, oyster sauce, corn flour, sesame oil, scallions, white pepper and salt. Mix well.
10. Take the minced meat in your hand and smack it against the bowl, repeating a few times to help bind the ingredients.
11. Using toothpicks, pin the chicken skin to a bamboo mat, wings side down. The mat may be found in hardware stores in Chinatown.
12. Spread the minced meat thinly onto the skin.
13. Fill wok with oil over medium fire. When the oil is hot enough, slide the bamboo mat into the wok – minced meat facing up first.
14. Deep fry each side till skin is golden brown and minced meat is cooked through.
15. Remove from mat and pat both sides with a kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
16. Cut into square pieces. Serve with chopped scallions while hot and crispy.

This was Jeb Bush’s reaction, at an event this afternoon in South Carolina, to a mass murder in Oregon and also his explaination for why he opposed any additional gun control measures.
The Bush campaign continues to defend his comments and is now lashing out at his critics.
Donald Trump had a somewhat similar reaction to the massacre on Friday morning. “These things happen,” Trump said, adding, “It’s a horrible things to behold, horrible.” Trump said he opposed any additional gun control measures.
Was That Mika This Morning or Some SNL Parody?
Home > Was That Mika This Morning or Some SNL Parody?
Turning on the tube this morning, you had to wonder whether you were actually watching Morning Joe, or a rerun of Saturday Night Live's satire of Mika Brzezinski's histrionics on the show.
The doubt arose because Mika gave an exceptionally emotional performance that seemed like a virtual parody of the parody. As others spoke, Mika interrupted with excited yells.
Note: the substance of the segment was two-fold. First, a prepared tribute to the heroism of Robert Mueller as a young Marine in Vietnam—with the obligatory comparison to President Trump. Second, a glorification of the performance of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in their White House meeting yesterday with President T...
WILLIE GEIST: Joe, there's no turning back from that one, is there?
SCARBOROUGH: -- comes to mind.
HEILEMANN: But I don't know when.
BRZEZINSKI: It's got to be now!
SCARBOROUGH: Kevin McCarthy's defense is, well, you know, come on. We're not going to -- it's a felony, yeah sure, it's a felony. We're not going to -- I mean, come on, it's just a felony.
“I don’t know, I mean I think, look I did an actuality [sic] yesterday, too, so that we sent it out to all affiliates that, you know, if you can take clips,” Priebus said.
Priebus apparently meant to say that Republicans had made multiple responses, and that the Spanish-language version given by Miami U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo was just one among many.
When pressed about why Curbelo’s official response differed from Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst’s on immigration, Priebus found his footing — or at least his talking points.
“The president’s kind of screwed things up in regard to immigration reform by overreaching, by taking his executive action,” Priebus said.
What Priebus didn’t say: The GOP-led U.S. House blocked a full vote on a bipartisan Senate immigration-reform bill for two years. That bill would have dealt with Obama’s executive actions that temporarily spared millions from deportation, including DREAMers, young undocumented people who were brought to or remain in th...
The same GOP that opposed comprehensive immigration reform before Obama became president (and before and after his two executive actions) continues to do almost nothing about it.
And now that Republicans control the U.S. Senate, there’s no movement to deal with the issue at the moment.
One of the most-recognizable Republican figures advocating for immigration reform, Sen. Marco Rubio, is now pitching a new plan ostensibly designed to gain GOP votes. In many ways, Rubio is reverting to positions he held before joining the Senate’s so-called “Gang of Eight,” which passed the comprehensive immigration r...
First off, Rubio wants a series of bills to increase enforcement (both at the border and internally) and make the immigration system based on merit instead of family relationships. That is, high-skilled in-demand workers would get immigration preference.
After those reforms, Rubio says, some of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in this country should be given a shot at legal permanent — not a full pathway to citizenship as the Senate bill would have allowed.
Rubio never said he opposed a pathway to citizenship. And he didn’t say he opposed the 2013 Senate bill. He says his new plans are designed to get some reforms passed.
Wasserman Schultz, a Weston congresswoman, made it clear Friday it probably doesn’t matter in her eyes.
“Marco Rubio went from supporting the legislation that passed the Senate to opposing it once his tea party supporters really gave him a backlash,” she said, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
While Wasserman Schultz and Priebus can’t get their facts straight, their misrepresentations aren’t equal.
History indicates Democrats will win this electoral round of the immigration game. In presidential election years, Hispanics tend to vote in far bigger numbers than they do in midterm elections. And the Hispanic vote is crucial in swing states like Nevada, Colorado and Florida — without which a Republican candidate lik...
Immigration isn’t the only issue Hispanics vote on, but it’s a gateway topic. And not only has the GOP blocked immigration reform, some high-profile Republicans have had a tendency to make comments about immigrants that do little to help the party expand its reach nationwide beyond non-Hispanic whites.
Enter Rep. Steve King of Iowa.
Over the weekend, King held an “Iowa Freedom Summit” for potential Republican presidential candidates. Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush, potential White House candidates whose immigration positions King has criticized, skipped it.
But DREAMers showed up and protested. Two were arrested. Wasserman Schultz also appeared and bashed those at the event. She earlier told the Sun-Sentinel that Rubio and Bush “can’t pick a side” and deserved little credit for not going.
In some ways, immigration is a war (Bush co-authored a book called “Immigration Wars”). And Republican and Democrat leaders alike have shown the truth is a mere casualty.
