Early Aggressiveness, Conversions Help Offense Set TonePosted by on December 17, 2012 – 10:07 am
Earlier Monday morning, we discussed a cleverly-crafted defensive game plan featuring an aggressive wrinkle as a key to the Vikings win over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. We'd be remiss to not mention the aggressive strategy employed by the Vikings offense early in the game as an important factor in the victory as well.
In last week's win over the Chicago Bears, it was almost as if the Vikings game-planned for the offense to perform around QB Christian Ponder. In Sunday's win, though, Ponder was instrumental in the offense's operation. That was especially the case on the Vikings first drive of the game, a series that required poise from Ponder and featured a few clutch conversions along the way.
It started with a "gotcha" moment on the first play, as the Vikings anticipated St. Louis ganging up to stop Adrian Peterson. Offensive Coordinator Bill Musgrave called for a play-action pass on 1st down, opening the door for Ponder to rollout and find a wide open Kyle Rudolph in the right flat for a 14-yard gain. That was a nice start. After a 4-yard gain by Peterson on the ground, Ponder rolled right once again and fit a precise pass through a tight window to Jerome Simpson on a crossing route – 11 more yards.
At that point, the Vikings were off to a great start. They forced a St. Louis punt after just 4 plays and were now driving deep into Rams territory. But consecutive rushing plays of -2 yards set the Vikings back to a 3rd and 14 from the St. Louis 20. Out of the gun formation, Ponder zipped a quick slant to Stephen Burton for 13 yards, setting up a 4th and short. Rather than take the conservative approach and send the ever-reliant Blair Walsh onto the field for a quick 3-0 lead, Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier elected to be aggressive and go for it on 4th down.
"I knew if we got in that situation early, that was exactly what we wanted to be able to do," Frazier explained after the game. "We wanted to be aggressive. We talked to our players about it all week long, that we were going to be aggressive in every situation. That was a chance to backup what I had said during the week."
And it worked. Ponder scrambled for 3 yards to pickup the 1st down, plus a defensive holding penalty gave the Vikings an automatic 1st down anyway. Two more rushes for losses came after the 4th-down conversion, setting the Vikings up with a 3rd and goal from the 5. Ponder dropped back, was in the arms of Rams DE Robert Quinn, escaped, found a crease down the left seam, and dove into the end zone for the TD. He capped the play with an emphatic spike in the end zone, and the Vikings offense was rolling.
On the drive, Ponder was 3 of 3 for 38 yards and added 2 rushes for 8 yards and the TD.
More than just staking the Vikings to an early 7-0 lead, that first offensive series and all it entailed – 5 carries for Peterson, play-action bootlegs, clutch completions and conversions, etc. – helped the Vikings offense gain a rhythm, gain a confidence and set a tone.
"It was big," Frazier said. "That was a part of what we wanted to be able to design to help us against the eight- and nine-man fronts we knew we were going to get. And sure enough, they came in stacking the box, and we wanted to get Christian on the perimeter and hit some plays on crossing routes. We were effective doing that early. It helped us to open up some of the runs a little bit later."

WR Status Check: Percy Harvin (Ankle) And Calvin Johnson (Knee)Posted by on November 9, 2012 – 7:58 am
Earlier this week we listed the 7 Vikings-Lions storylines we'd be following this week, so with Friday upon us and kickoff just two days away, let's check in on the #1 storyline: Harvin's Ankle, Megatron's Knee. Percy Harvin leads the NFL in receptions with 62 and Detroit's Calvin Johnson is arguable the NFL's best player at the position. But neither has practiced this week due to injuries, and it will have a profound impact on Sunday's game.
Of the two receivers, Johnson stands the best chance to play. He's dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of practice all of last week. The time away from practice didn't seem to bother the All-Pro, as he came down with 7 receptions for 129 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson has been held out of practice this week, too, but the smart money is on him playing. And if he's playing, he's dangerous.
There's been another element added to this mix of late, though. According to a report from Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Johnson told reporters on Thursday that he's dealing with nerve damage that is making it harder for him to grip the football. Johnson pointed to a pair of hits from the Lions Week 4 game against the Vikings that is causing the issue.
As for Harvin, he has not been ruled out but he did call himself a "longshot" to play. Harvin suffered an ankle injury last week in Seattle, but was able to finish the game. Harvin spoke with reporters earlier in the week while leaning on crutches, causing many to speculate that the NFL's leading receiver will be unavailable for Sunday's game.
I'm not in the business of speculating whether or not a guy will play despite an injury. The Vikings have a bye following this Sunday's game, so keeping Harvin out of this week's game would essentially give him nearly three full weeks between his injury and the next ball game. But Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier said after practice on Thursday that if Harvin is healthy enough to play, he'll play. Also keep in mind that Harvin is as tough a player as there is, so if there's even the slightest bit of chance he can play, Harvin will be angling to get out there.
If he plays, that's great news for the Vikings. If he doesn't play, the Vikings will have about 11 touches to distribute to other players. Harvin has 100 touches through 9 games this season, which averages out to 11.1 touches per game. In this week's Wobcast – where Cris Carter is featured as the guest – I pointed to three players who could see a few more touches if Harvin doesn't play: WR Jarius Wright and TEs John Carlson and Kyle Rudolph.
Harvin also has a role on special teams as the Vikings kickoff returner, and Vikings Head Coach Mike Priefer said a number of guys could step into that role if Harvin is unable to play. Marcus Sherels, the Vikings starting punt returner, can do it, as can Wright, WR Stephen Burton and CBs A.J. Jefferson and Josh Robinson.

Colts Survive Vikings 4th Quarter RallyPosted by on September 16, 2012 – 6:25 pm
As thrilling as last week's season-opening overtime win was against the Jacksonville Jaguars, this week's squeaker on the road against the Indianapolis Colts was similarly heart-breaking. Adam Vinatieri, the most clutch kicker in NFL history, split the uprights on a 53-yard FG try with just 8 seconds to play, ending the Vikings late-game rally and sending them home with their first loss of the season.
The Vikings offense started slowly for a second consecutive week, heading to the locker room at halftime with just 49 yards passing and 6 points. The Colts offense wasn't slow to start, as rookie QB Andrew Luck went 11 of 17 for 142 yards with 2 TDs and no TDs in the first half to stake his club to a 17-6 lead at intermission.
The teams combined to go just 1 of 7 on 3rd downs in the 3rd quarter, and the only score was as 45-yard FG by Vinatieri to stretch the Colts lead to 20-6.
As they did in last week's win over the Jaguars, the Vikings offense rallied late in the game. Christian Ponder led the Vikings on a pair of 4th-quarter scoring drives, capping the first with a 7-yard TD toss to WR Stephen Burton and the second with 6-yard strike TE Kyle Rudolph. The Rudolph TD and subsequent Blair Walsh PAT tied the score at 20 with just 31 seconds to play.
Unfortunately, those 31 seconds were enough for Luck to drive through the Vikings defense and set the stage for Vinatieri's 24th game-winning FG, which he striped down the middle effortlessly.
The loss moves the Vikings to 1-1 on the season as they prepare to welcome the San Francisco 49ers next week at Mall of America Field. We'll have more summary and reaction to Sunday's game tomorrow, so stay tuned to vikings.com for coverage.

What 2 Watch 4 In Tonight's Preseason FinalePosted by on August 30, 2012 – 9:37 am
After an entire offseason of waiting for training camps to begin, and then three weeks of training camp with no games, and then three preseason games, many fans regard the fourth and final preseason game as a mere formality that is more scrimmage than it is game. But for many NFL players, the fourth and final preseason game means the world.
The Vikings fourth and final preseason game of the 2012 season is tonight against the Houston Texans, with kickoff slated for 6:00 p.m. CT. Following the game, the Vikings will have tough decisions to make as they whittle the roster down to 53 players and then scan the waiver wire to see if any players discarded by other teams can make a difference here.
Before that process begins, though, that final preseason game must be played. Below are a few aspects of tonight's game that I'll pay quite a bit of attention. Check them out, and then in the comments section below this entry let us know what you think about them and let us know what you'll be watching for tonight…
Quarterback rotation
At this point it's hard to know how the Vikings QB situation will shake out. There are four QBs in camp, and only Christian Ponder's status is secure. Expect Joe Webb to start tonight, and then we'll see some combination of Sage Rosenfels and McLeod Bethel-Thompson. Each QB brings a different skill set to the table, and each QB would play a distinct role on the team.
Opportunity at WR
Percy Harvin is a game-changer, Michael Jenkins is a reliable veteran, and Jerome Simpson will make an impact for the team once we get past his 3-game suspension. But after those three, there is room for a couple other WRs to make the team and help the passing game. Rookie Jarius Wright is coming along well as the preseason rolls along, and now it appears he'll have a chance in the punt return role as well (more on that later). Three others – Manny Arceneaux, Devin Aromashodu and Stephen Burton – will get significant looks tonight as they try to make a final positive impression on the coaching and scouting staffs. All three players have the capability to play the X receiver spot while Simpson is away, now the question is which players will display that ability in a game. We'll find out tonight.
Blanton makes his debut
The Vikings 2012 draft class appears to be promising, but one member of that class has not been on the field yet – S Robert Blanton. That will change tonight, as Blanton figures to see extended playing time. He'll likely start the game, and it wouldn't be a shock to see him play well into the 2nd half. Furthermore, Blanton could even be joined by fellow Notre Dame product Harrison Smith in the starting lineup, giving us a look at an intriguing starting combination.
The Vikings selected Blanton with 139th overall pick last April and have converted him from a college CB to an NFL safety. Blanton's transition to the NFL hit a speed bump in training camp, though, when he injured his hamstring.
Filling out the RB stable
There aren't many – if any – teams in the NFL with a better one-two punch at RB than the Vikings combination of Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart. But you need more than two RBs, and the Vikings have a few options on the roster. Matt Asiata has impressed once again this preseason (he impressed me last preseason, as well), and has shown he's more than just a plodding, blocking FB. Veteran Lex Hilliard was signed as a free agent this offseason, and he'll get plenty of looks tonight. Rounding out the competition is Jordan Todman, a young speedster who has battled a leg injury during camp but appears to be getting healthier. They will all get a chance to prove their worth tonight.
What else are looking for tonight? Let us know by leaving your thoughts in the comments section below this entry…

Twitter-Sized Player EvaluationsPosted by on August 7, 2012 – 6:26 am
One of the main challenges to covering a NFL team during training camp is covering all the bases. With a 90-man roster and plenty of intriguing storylines to follow, it's hard to cover everything. But there is a saving grace in all of this. Twitter.
Brevity is required when using Twitter because a message on the social media platform must be 140 or fewer characters. Some may look at that as a limitation. But we're turning it into opportunity. The Twitter-sized player evaluations feature we debuted last week gives us a chance to provide some insight on several players, rather than an overwhelming amount of insight on just a few players.
On Monday before practice, we asked (on my Twitter handle – @wobby) which players you'd like to know about via Twitter evaluations. They are listed below with a 140 (or fewer)-character evaluation…
FB Matt Asiata – Skilled pass catcher out of the backfield. Needs to show ability on special teams during preseason.
WR Stephen Burton – May have some position flexibility to him (can play X and Z receiver) & has had very good camp. Good after the catch. Big preseason for him.
CB Chris Carr – Playing with first-team nickel. Smart, instinctive player. Was in punt return rotation on Monday.
LB Audie Cole – Big, physical & smart. Unsure if he's best at middle or outside LB. Needs to contribute on special teams. Has a chance to be good NFL LB.
TE Rhett Ellison – Impressing with his hands and fluidity in passing game. Known as hard worker. Will be a good pro for a long time.
RG Brandon Fusco – Still the one to beat for starting RG spot. Smart, tough player. Going against Kevin Williams every day is good for him.
RB Toby Gerhart – Looks and plays the part of a starting-caliber NFL RB. Grinder who will wear defenses out. Good in passing game (protection and receiving).
LB Everson Griffen – Up and down – will make great plays or mistakes. Great instincts and athleticism. Transitioning well, could still play DL in situations.
DL Trevor Guyton – Great start to camp, leveling off a bit now. Hard to move on the inside. Has athleticism to play multiple positions. Stout against run.
DE Brian Robison – Great day of practice on Monday. Excellent inside pass rush moves. Can play DT in nickel package. Great enthusiasm and passion.
C John Sullivan – Excellent leader. Rarely makes mistake. Developing into Top 5 at his position in NFL.
K Blair Walsh – Has impressed with leg strength AND accuracy. Answered the bell in simulated game situations at end of practice. Touchbacks-a-plenty.
WR Bryan Walters – In the mix at WR, needs productive preseason. In punt return rotation & fields kicks gracefully. Sudden route runner with good separation.
WR Jarius Wright – Explosive short-area quickness. Solid hands. In return rotations. Good attitude, practices hard. Solid camp so far.

Defense Dials It Up; Notes From Monday's PracticePosted by on August 6, 2012 – 5:19 pm
There is a natural ebb and flow to training camp practices – some days the offense is better, some days the defense stands out. The Vikings offense got off to a fast start at 2012 Verizon Vikings Training Camp and capped off a good first 10 days with a sound showing in Saturday night's practice.
Come Monday, though, the defense jumped up. After a day off on Sunday, the Vikings returned to the practice fields for their customary morning walk-thru followed by an afternoon practice, working under hot and windy conditions that did nothing to help the offense's cause.
DE Brian Robison was a standout performer for the defense, providing a steady pass rush off the edge in the base 4-3 defense and then sliding inside on occasion to play DT in the nickel package. Robison teamed up with a fellow lineman twice during a drill versus the offensive linemen to execute an effective stunt. On the first play, Robison lined up on the outside and stunted inside, with Kevin Williams looping outside. The maneuver was enough for Robison to slip inside past a pair of offensive linemen. On the second play, Robison used a similar stunt in tandem with fellow DE D'Aundre Reed to create a pressure.
During the team's live goal line period, LB Chad Greenway and DT Letroy Guion teamed up to halt the first-team offense on the initial snap, and second-team middle LB Tyrone McKenzie also burst through the line later in the period to make a splash play. McKenzie was another player who stood out during Monday's practice. He takes care of a leadership role on the Vikings second-team defense and also possesses the athleticism to be a productive linebacker in nickel packages.
LB Marvin Mitchell and S Mistral Raymond each tallied INTs at various points in the practice as well. Mitchell has run with McKenzie at times in the second-team nickel package while Raymond has spent most of his time with the first team and second team at safety.
A few other notes…
Childs has knee surgery Monday
The road to recovery for Greg Childs after he tore the patellar tendon in both knees Saturday night has begun. Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier said Childs was to undergo surgery on Monday.
"So, we don't know what the long-term prognosis is, but we are all hoping for the best," Frazier said. "But our players, it was hard for them, obviously it is hard for Greg and his family. We're all pulling for him through this situation."
Gerhart looks good
Toby Gerhart is the Vikings starting RB and Frazier says the third-year pro has looked good so far in camp. Gerhart will likely get the start in Friday's preseason game at San Francisco, but don't expect him to get too many carries.
"He's been looking well," Frazier said. "He's practicing well, has great confidence in what we're doing, what we're asking of him. He doesn't seem like a guy who is ready to settle for being a backup running back, which is a good thing."
Who will handle return duties?
At this point in training camp, charting the guys who are included in the kickoff and punt return rotation is nearly a full-time job. On Monday, I saw WR Stephen Burton, CB Chris Carr, DB Reggie Jones, CB Josh Robinson, CB Marcus Sherels, WR Kerry Taylor, WR Bryan Walters and WR Jarius Wright all take turns in the punt return rotation.
"We are going to make sure that we use the right guys and the guys that we think have the best chance," Special Teams Coordinator Mike Priefer said. "If a guy is on the bubble, will he make it (the roster) because he is a good punt returner or kickoff returner? That will be key Friday night (preseason game vs. San Francisco). Hopefully we can make them punt a few times and we'll go out there and get some reps for our guys."

Vikings Tweak Roster Before First Padded PracticePosted by on July 30, 2012 – 12:23 pm
The Vikings will conduct their first padded practice of 2012 Verizon Vikings Training Camp on Monday afternoon, but before they do the team made a few tweaks to the roster.
DB Nick Taylor was waived with the injured designation, and the Vikings signed DB Chris Stroud to fill the vacant roster spot. Taylor injured his shoulder early in camp, and Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier said that the injury would require major surgery. Stroud is a rookie and comes to the Vikings from Webber International.
The team also reported that WR Stephen Burton had passed his physical. Burton has been dealing with a toe injury that kept him out of action the first few days of camp, but passing the physical is a step in the right direction to getting back on the field.

Notes From Friday Walk-Thru And Practice; Solid Start For OffensePosted by on July 27, 2012 – 5:19 pm
The first walk-thru and practice of 2012 Verizon Vikings Training Camp is in the books, as the Vikings conducted their one-hour walk-thru this morning and then worked for roughly two hours and 15 minutes in the afternoon. Coaches and players were available to reporters after both workouts, and Head Coach Leslie Frazier also met with reporters via press conference after the walk-thru.
There are a number of topics to touch on following Friday's action, so let's be brief with several topics rather than long-winded with just a few…
Peterson to Active/PUP; Burton, Shuler on NFI
Frazier announced during his press conference that RB Adrian Peterson will begin camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, which simply means that he won't take part in the walk-thrus or practices and will instead work on the side with the training and strength staffs. This is not an unexpected development. The Vikings can remove Peterson from the PUP list at any time. Two other players – WR Stephen Burton (toe) and TE Mickey Shuler (heel) – were both placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. Frazier both would be day-to-day because neither injury is considered serious.
Solid first practice for offense
The offense was slow-to-go in their first practice of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), but eventually hit their stride and showed great improvement. It was a much different start for the offense in training camp. For a first practice of camp, Friday's workout went well for the offense. I saw a number of players make diving catches (John Carlson, Percy Harvin, Jerome Simpson), LB Chad Greenway was as vocal as I've heard him, OL coach Jeff Davidson was pleased with the way his offensive line worked during individual drills, etc. QB Christian Ponder told me while walking off the field after practice that Friday's workout was probably better than any of the OTA practices they held during the offseason. Obviously there's a ways to go, but Friday was a solid start.
Griffen focusing on LB
There was a lot of talk this offseason about the possibility of Everson Griffen transitioning from DE to LB. The talk is over now because it's actually happening. Griffen worked with the LBs during Friday's practice and Frazier said that's where he wants Griffen to focus his undivided attention.
"He's an outstanding athlete, was a great special teams player for us a year ago," Frazier said. "Played in multiple positions for us a year ago at linebacker and then at defensive end. With his athletic ability, we want to try to find a way to get him on the field a little bit more."
Griffen shed 18 pounds this offseason to get within the team's ideal range for a player at his position, and Frazier described Griffen as extremely motivated to show what he can do at LB.
Competition at RG
Brandon Fusco opened camp with the first team at RG, an expected development. The position will be one to watch this camp and preseason as the Vikings look to solidify an offensive line that is poised to take a big step forward in 2012. Frazier indicated the competition would include Fusco, Chris DeGeare and Geoff Schwartz, and that ideally the team would name a starter by the third preseason game (at home vs. San Diego).
"We'll let those guys compete and battle it out," Frazier said, "and hopefully we'll be a better team with whichever one ends up winning the job."
Many competing for punt return duties
Special Teams Coordinator Mike Priefer said this offseason that he's pleased with the number of players on the Vikings roster who have the ability to cleanly field kicks. He said he's been to teams where they struggled to find one player who could consistently do it. This year in Minnesota, Priefer has a bevy of players competing for opportunities. On Friday the following players took turns fielding punts from Chris Kluwe: CB Bobby Felder, DB Reggie Jones, CB Josh Robinson, CB Marcus Sherels, WR Kerry Taylor, CB Nick Taylor, WR Bryan Walters and WR Jarius Wright.
Robinson is fast
Speaking of Robinson, there was a moment early in practice on Friday where he put his quick burst on display. It happened during a special teams period of practice where Robinson was in the rotation to field punts. A punt heading his way got caught up in the wind and tumbled down to the ground well short of where Robinson was positioned. It's a cardinal sin for punt returners to let the ball hit the ground, and it only compounds the problem when a returner lets the ball hit the ground and then tries to pick it up after more than one bounce. In an effort to not let the ball bounce more than once, Robinson turned on the jets and covered six yards as fast as I've ever seen, getting his hands under the ball at the last second before it bounced a second time.
Later in practice, Robinson pulled up with what appeared to be a leg injury of some kind. No word on what kind of injury it is or how serious.

Roster Rundown: Wide ReceiversPosted by on July 9, 2012 – 6:14 am
We're in the middle of about the only slow time in the NFL news cycle. So what better to do than take an inventory of what the Vikings have on their roster with training camp just weeks away.
Let's begin with the wide receivers, where the Vikings currently have 12 on the roster…
The wide receiver position is high profile as it is, but add in a mix of A) desire for improvement from last year's performance, B) a flashy free agent acquisition and C) a mix of veterans and youngsters battling for roster spots, and you can be sure the Vikings wide receiver situation will be one to watch.
Percy Harvin is the cream of the crop, and after him the Vikings have worked hard this offseason to improve the position, most notably by adding veteran Jerome Simpson in free agency and then drafting a pair of receivers in the 4th round (Greg Childs, Jarius Wright).
Keep in mind, Simpson won't count against the Vikings roster limit to begin the season because of a three-game suspension, so that opens up another spot for competition among a group of several players that is comprised of both veterans and youngsters. Veterans Devin Aromashodu and Michael Jenkins will rely upon their one year of experience in Offensive Coordinator Bill Musgrave's scheme to try and ward off the young receivers the Vikings have in the fold. Jenkins was 'ol reliable last season before getting hurt, and WRs coach George Stewart loves having him around because he's a good influence on a young position group. Aromashodu showed flashes of playmaking ability last season, most notably his diving TD grab at Kansas City. Another veteran added to the mix is Bryan Walters, who looked good during the Vikings offseason program and is a sleeper in the punt returner competition.
The youngsters on the roster are highlighted by Childs and Wright, but also include a seventh-round choice from last year – Stephen Burton. He's continually progressed since being drafted by the Vikings and took another step forward this offseason. The remaining receivers on the roster who will compete for spots are:
– Manny Arceneaux – Acquired by Vikings in January of 2011 after two standout seasons in the CFL…took a step forward this offseason with his work in Organized Team Activities and minicamp.
— Kamar Jorden – Bowling Green product who plays bigger than his listed height of 6-2…definitely not a throw-away player.
— A.J. Love – Acquired late in the offseason program and will need to watch more in training camp to get an opinion.
— Kerry Taylor – Injured his hand during the offseason program, so another who will merit a longer look in training camp. Quicker than fast, possible option in return game.

Special Teams Sets Tone For Practice; OTA #7 ObservationsPosted by on June 11, 2012 – 2:51 pm
The Vikings opened up their final week of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) at Winter Park on Monday under partly cloudy skies, warm temperatures and a brisk wind. After near-perfect weather a week ago, the windy conditions for OTA #7 added a challenging element for many phases of practice.
The first phase to deal with the wind was the Vikings special teams group, specifically the punt returners. Catching punts is difficult enough, but add in winds that gusted from 15-20 mph and the task becomes increasingly difficult. It didn't faze the Vikings returners, though, as CB Josh Robinson, CB Marcus Sherels, WR Bryan Walters and WR Jarius Wright fielded kicks gracefully.
The special teams' performance in the first period of practice was an indication of what was to come, as the Vikings conducted a crisp and clean approximately 90-minute practice. The special teams setting a positive example for the rest of practice is something in which Mike Priefer, entering his second season as the Vikings special teams coordinator, takes pride.
"I'm very fortunate to work for a head coach like Coach Frazier," Priefer told Radio Voice of the Vikings Paul Allen and yours truly during last week's episode of Vikings Tonight on the Vikings Radio Network. "He gives me meeting time, he gives me practice time, he gives me individual time with guys. I like the fact that we start practice with special teams because, to me, we set the tone for the rest of the practice. We're a high energy, high motor type period. We get a lot done in a fifteen- or twenty-minute period of time that we have. The fact that we get to start practice and get to set the tone for the rest of the day is exciting for me."
A few other observations from OTA #7…
Who can, not who can't
There have been no shortage of punt returners during OTAs. The four who caught punts on Monday are listed above, but several others have also been in the mix over the past two weeks. While fans are curious to know who will win the job after the position battle, Priefer and assistant special teams coach Chris White are still figuring out who will be in that position battle.
"We have eight or nine guys catching punts right now and you have to pull them out of a hat," Priefer said on last week's Vikings Tonight. "But the great thing is we have a lot of competition there. I've been at places where we have one guy, maybe two, that can even catch a punt. Here we have seven or eight guys who can catch punts."
Sherels stands out
It was a good day of practice for CB Marcus Sherels, the former University of Minnesota Golden Gopher who made last year's Vikings squad as an undrafted free agent. If Sherels has more days like he had on Monday, he'll once again be on the Vikings roster and in position to make an impact.
Sherels tallied a pair of pass breakups (PBUs) against what's been one of the best QB-WR combinations during OTAs – Christian Ponder and Jerome Simpson. The first PBU came during a team offense vs. team defense period when Sherels jumped in front of Simpson on a short curl route, and the second PBU came during a 7-on-7 period of practice on a deep pass down the left sideline. On each play, Ponder placed the ball well and Simpson ran a good route, but Sherels was just able to make a great play on the ball.
Living on the edge
Ponder and fellow QB Joe Webb put their athleticism on display during a team offense vs. defense period. Both plays were similar in that the QBs were sprinting right to avoid a pursuing defender. DE Brian Robison was chasing Ponder, and the QB was able to buy just enough time to find WR Stephen Burton along the right sideline for a tip-toe completion before falling out of bounds. Moments later, Webb executed a similar play, sprinting right to avoid DE Eric Lattimore and completing a pass to TE Kyle Rudolph. The pass was thrown slightly behind Rudolph, but the second-year TE was able to reach back and make the catch before turning upfield to complete the play.
Good hands Griffen
Defensive linemen such as Everson Griffen spend much of their time rushing the passer. On Monday, though, Griffen showed off his pass-catching skills, grabbing a tipped pass to tally an INT.

The idea for this recipe originated last Winter after tasting French and Swiss Raclette Cheese which I had purchased for the Holidays.

The third-ranked Virginia men's tennis team secured its ninth consecutive ACC regular season title as it defeated No. 29 Florida State 4-3 on Friday at the Snyder Tennis Center. The Cavaliers (20-1, 10-0 ACC) secured their 10th consecutive 20-win season with the victory.
Virginia swept all three doubles matches to take the opening point. Jarmere Jenkins and Drew Courtney posted an 8-4 win at No. 1 over Blake Davis and Jordan Kelly-Houston. At No. 3, Alex Domijan and Mitchell Frank clinched the doubles point with their 8-3 win over Benjamin Lock and Jason Zafiros. Steven Rooda and Justin Shane completed the sweep with a win at No. 2, rallying to win the final five games in an 8-6 victory over Dominic Cotrone and Anderson Reed.
Virginia quickly sealed the victory with three straight-set wins at the top three positions. Domijan cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Davis at No. 2 singles. Jenkins followed with a 6-2, 6-4 win at the top spot over Kelly-Houston. Frank sealed the victory with his 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 3 over Cristian Gonzalez Mendez. The Seminoles won at the bottom three positions in three sets to make the final margin 4-3.
The win was Virginia's 88th consecutive victory against ACC competition, extending its conference record. With a victory on Sunday, the Cavaliers would post their sixth consecutive undefeated ACC regular season.
The Cavaliers will conclude the regular season on Sunday when they host Miami at 11 a.m. In between doubles and singles will be a ceremony to honor the five Cavaliers playing their final regular season home match: Courtney, Oudshoorn, Rooda, Reese Milner and Santiago Villegas.

During the landing roll, the airplane encountered a wind gust from the left, and drifted off the right side of the runway, where it subsequently nosed over into a drainage ditch. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions, nor did the pilot report any. Winds reported at an airport located about 10 miles southwest of the accident site, about the time of the accident, were from 070 degrees, at 15 knots.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/23/2014Very nice surprise finding this restaurant so close to the TriCities. Friend bought a weekend gift pass for a mutaul friend and told me about it. Didn't want to wait for a s"special" occassion, but instead booked a dinner reservation as soon as I could. Wife found it to be extremely enjoyable and pleasant. Been years since we've shared a relaxed 7 course meal. We'll be going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An impressive menushaggyDined on 10/21/2014I was impressed by the chefs ability to serve up such an impressive and varied menu. Every dish in the seven course meal was mouth watering from the Pumpkin Shrimp Bisque to the Wagyu Beef Tri Tip, and the wine was wonderful.Special Features:
- Best meal ever hadlovesromanticrestaurantsDined on 10/11/2014I am somewhat of a foodie so I often say things like, "This is the best (fill in the blank) I have ever had. However, every part of this meal was the best thing I have ever had. And I know it is true because my husband is not a foodie and doesn't understand why you need to spend money for fancy food. It was amazed when he said that it was the best meal he had ever had. We met the chef earlier in the day and loved watching him prepare the food. It was such an amazing experience with amazing food. We cannot wait to come back again just for a dinner instead of with a stay at Cameo Heights.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You will love it!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/1/2014We had the 7 course tasting menu, it was nothing short of amazing. The chef did a wonderful job of treating us to many different textures and tastes. There were many dishes that I never would have tried if they had been a la carte, but they were delightful. Everything was cooked to perfection. I cannot say how much we enjoyed it here.. you simply have to go for yourself.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014Small, intimate dining room, with a sweeping view from on high looking eastward towards Walla Walla. Every table is a chef's table, with the chef preparing food in full view, and serving alongside the waitress. Like in old fine restaurants, the owner comes by to greet everyone and ensure everyone is pleased. The food is of the highest quality, and very inventive. The wine reduction and wagyu beef were perfect. Every course in the fixed price menu was inventive and expertly prepared. The wine pairing was fantastic. In Seattle, you would pay at least twice for the seven-course meal with wine pairing we enjoyed for just $100 pp. We will certainly return.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/2014We enjoyed the ambience and the relaxing setting for a wonderful 7 course meal.

It was truly a 5 Star experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 129 reviews are from the The Vine reviews archive.
- bit dissappointedFoodluvrDined on 7/26/2014Was surprised the 'outside dinning' overlooked the valley, and right above the B&B's pool and hot tub, with guests in it. With multi course meals I expect small portions with big flavor. This missed the mark. The chilled cucumber soup was terribly over salted, the ceviche was just a bay shrimp tower with layered shrimp and avocado, such a basic prep . The lamb seasoned great but by then , 2 hours into the meal it was dark and the one candle was no help. By far the most disappointing part of this experience was the flies. I thought maybe it was just because we are outside and within sight of a field of cows but the next morning at breakfast inside was actually worse. 5 of the annoying little buggers seems to really like our table.Special Features:
- Good, but not greatpickyDined on 7/4/2014Fine if you are staying at CHM, but it is located 25 miles west of Walla Walla and not very convenient. Food was good, view from deck was nice. Music was tired.Special Features:

- Wonderful Experience!BreeDined on 5/17/2014This was my 3rd time visiting The Vine. Twice for dinner and once for breakfast. Every meal has been incredibly delicious! My husband and I ate at The Vine the 1st time during a visit he surprised me with for my birthday in Feb. We stayed overnight at Cameo Heights and enjoyed dinner and breakfast at The Vine. Then we went back just this past weekend to celebrate our 9 yr wedding anniversary and had dinner. What a treat! We enjoyed a 7-course meal that was perfect! We love celebrating special events at The Vine and would highly recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A special birthday dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/30/2014I really like the atmoshere in the dining room with the kitchen open to the dining room. The chef not only took our order, but cooked an awesome meal and served us. The food was very good, imaginative, well paired with wine, and beautifully presented. When the chef heard that it was my birthday, he added a "Happy Birthday" message in chocolate on my dessert plate. It was a lovely experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic HeavenfamilysettledDined on 4/17/2014We went for our 10 year anniversary, looking for a night away from the kids with a special flare! It was perfect! We did the Fondue dinner, and had fun dipping our feast, relaxing and talking. The atmosphere peaceful and quiet. The service superb... our drinks were well tended, but we did not feel hovered over! Definitely a place to make memories!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Swiss Fondue in Washington!SherriDined on 4/5/2014Two couples delighted on a Swiss Fondue Meal for 4. Delicious meal with great ambience. Service was fine, but the staff looked tired and had the attitude of "you are just another customer." Perhaps it was a long weekend for the staff. Yet this family owned restaurant won us over with their charming atmosphere and quiet eating rooms with soft, romantic music that whispered in the background; an essential for us. YES, we would return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special dinner at a top B&B locale.FergieDined on 3/19/2014Wonderful food and presentation at a lovely Bed and Breakfast-the Cameo Heights in Walla Walla area. Great hosts and chef. The experience had a personal touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous, even with dietary needsSweetsterDined on 3/15/2014I am extremely lactose intolerant. When making the reservations, I was asked about dietary needs. An appetizer was specially prepared and waiting for me and they were able to make substitutions for the other courses that worked well for me. There was even a dessert prepared that wasn't on the menu. I seldom am able to have a dessert at a restaurant due to butter or cream being in all of them. The food was beautiful, creative and delicious. We did order the 7 course pre fixe with wine pairing. Portion sizes and the pacing of the courses were just right. I am looking forward to returningI would recommend this to a friend.
- Most impressiveOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 1/25/2014My husband and I just went to the Vine for a romantic getaway. We for sure have never in our lives experienced food that amazing! The 7 course meal was surprising in an awesome way and we still are talking about the food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 5 StarWazzuMarkDined on 1/24/2014The Vine is a destination restaurant.....if you stay at Cameo Heights Mansion it is a must for dinner. Several years ago we were there and had the fondue dinner and that was a fun meal. This time we did the 7 course meal and it was great! Highlight of the meal.....the Pumpkin Bisque w/Bay shrimp was simply amazing. Easily the best soup I have ever had, and to think I almost didn't order it! Full of flavor, full of aroma, full of texture. Simply amazing. The meal as a whole was great, flavorful and fun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Treating Mom & DadsuziQ71Dined on 1/24/2014We have stayed at the Mansion a couple of times and decided to treat my parents. We joined them for dinner at The Vine on the evening of their stay. The food did not fall short of our expectations! Every course was absolutely wonderful! The beef was cooked perfectly and the mashed parsnips were the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So good, I couldn't stop smiling ;)RobertoDined on 1/1/2014Wow!!! My wife and I recently experienced our first getaway to Cameo Heights. We thoroughly enjoyed dining at The Vine. The food was so ridiculously amazing that there were times I couldn't stop laughing - it was so good! It was stupid how good the food was. I wanted to get up out of my chair and give a big, huge hug to the chef, but refrained. Instead, I simply said with a big smile, "Compliments to the chef!" Conclusion: Expensive, and worth every single penny for that special occasion!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best dining in Washington State!CraigMDined on 12/20/2013What a wonderful find! Intimate quite 7-course dining is the perfect setting to celebrate a special anniversary. I can hardly wait to go back! Chef Nathan clearly loves his work, and enjoys interacting with his clients. His creativity is celebrated in the beauty if the dishes. The first bite of my tenderloin was out of this world. Probably the best dining in Washington State! If you are staying the night, you will also enjoy wonderful fresh coffee and fresh baked pastry brought to your room in the morning, then you get to go down to a most excellent breakfast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An absolute treatStephNTommyMDined on 11/15/2013Everything at the Cameo Heights Mansion is a thought out detail, including the dining experience at the vine, the meal was so interesting and absolutely delicious. The waitress was spot on with every detail. The most amazing part of the meal for me was the pumpkin, langoustine bisque. I don't think I'll ever stop raving about it. Breakfast was absolutely charming and delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- GourmetONTHETABLEDined on 9/24/2013Unique spot in the hills to the west of Walla Walla. The place is a lavish B&B. There are only a very small number of tables. The food was creative and superb -- multi-course set dinner with a couple of options. The chef, Nathan, prepared & served with the help of Vivian. We did the wine pairing, which included four quality wines. This was very good value for an outstanding dinner.Special Features:

- Don't order the fondue! Yikes!wenashDined on 9/7/2013Night before we ate from regular menu which was quite good, but second night we pre-ordered their special Fondue dinner. Cheese course tasted like watered down ranch dressing which came to our table not even warm so had them warm it up hoping it would get better. Nope, gross, so we just ate the raw veggies for this course. Meat course is not like normal fondue where you cook the meat in a broth or oil, but came out with PRE-COOKED SHRIMP! and raw chicken per our choosing. They bring you a little grill to reheat/cook them on. Started with the shrimp... it was "funky" tasting bad. Who pre-cooks shrimp?!!! We finally had to say something becuz now way we could eat it. They were very nice about it and gave us the regular dinner menu again
- La VinRockyDined on 9/7/2013The food was very flavorful. Many levels of complex flavors. Only downfall was I had fish and there were a lot of bones. Great breakfasts. Bring your wallet for dinner because their 7 course dinner for two will set you back nearly $250.Special Features:
- The VineBailey2Dined on 9/7/2013My girlfriend and I went to the Vine to celebrate our September birthdays. We were warmly greated by the staff. The restaurant knew we were celebrating and wished us Happy Birthday..very nice. I had been there before and expected a menu with a variety of choices to include moderately priced wine choices. The menu, however, was a pre-determined 7 course menu. That said, the food was exquisitely prepared and presented. This is a very small, intimate restaurant so the Chef is able to bring each course to your table and explain the ingredients. You can expect to stay approximately 2-3 hours for the 7 courses. This restaurant is wonderful and a foodies delight. I would especially recommend this venue for special occasions. You will love it!Special Features:
- Regular dinner menu had varietywenashDined on 9/6/2013Regular dinner menu had variety of options, each course was quite tasty. Wine was very good also.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Perfect End To A Perfect DayOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/31/2013After a great day of wine tasting in Walla Walla and heading home to Richland I made a last minute reservation at The Vine. I couldn't have planned for a better way to top off the day. This place has delicious food in a very special setting. If you are looking to impress a date or have a special dinner with friends, I highly recommend The Vine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding Meal!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/24/2013Our meal at The Vine was incredible! The food was delicious. Choices in each category were all very appealing and creative. The artistic touch of the chef made the meal visually beautiful. The chef is an especially talented professional. He prepared the meals in the kitchen right off the dining room and made it look easy. It wasn't; each menu item was complex. The dining room and setting are lovely. The service was efficient, pleasant and well-paced. We travel a lot and eat in many different restaurants, this was a real standout meal for us. The experience could not have been better!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 48th Wedding Anniversary DinnermardonDined on 8/22/2013The mood was set with 60's music, a long stem red Rose on the table, and a plate which read in chocolate -Happy 48th Anniversary. We were close to the speakers and the music were songs we knew and perfect for our setting. The 7 course meal was wonderful with chef delivery and explanation of each course. The food was wery tasty and interesting. Our meal was two hours and the full moon rose over the hill as we dined. It was a wonderful evening and the chef's assisting staff was great. Alan the owner stopped by as well. Could not have been better.....thanks to The Vine at Cameo Heights.Special Features:

Soh, C. B. and Liu, W. and Yong, A. M. and Chua, S. J. and Chow, S. Y. and Tripathy, S. and Tan, R. J. N. (2010) Phosphor-Free Apple-White LEDs with Embedded Indium-Rich Nanostructures Grown on Strain Relaxed Nano-epitaxy GaN. Nanoscale Research Letters, 5 (11). pp. 1788-1794.
Full text is not hosted in this archive but may be available via the Official URL, or by requesting a copy from the corresponding author.
Phosphor-free apple-white light emitting diodes have been fabricated using a dual stacked InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells comprising of a lower set of long wavelength emitting indium-rich nanostructures incorporated in multiple quantum wells with an upper set of cyan-green emitting multiple quantum wells. The light-emitting diodes were grown on nano-epitaxially lateral overgrown GaN template formed by regrowth of GaN over SiO2 film patterned with an anodic aluminum oxide mask with holes of 125 nm diameter and a period of 250 nm. The growth of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells on these stress relaxed low defect density templates improves the internal quantum efficiency by 15% for the cyan-green multiple quantum wells. Higher emission intensity with redshift in the PL peak emission wavelength is obtained for the indium-rich nanostructures incorporated in multiple quantum wells. The quantum wells grown on the nano-epitaxially lateral overgrown GaN has a weaker piezoelectric field and hence shows a minimal peak shift with application of higher injection current. An enhancement of external quantum efficiency is achieved for the apple-white light emitting diodes grown on the nano-epitaxially lateral overgrown GaN template based on the light -output power measurement. The improvement in light extraction efficiency, eta(extraction,) was found to be 34% for the cyan-green emission peak and 15% from the broad long wavelength emission with optimized lattice period.

text: On June 16, 1997, at 1740 hours Pacific daylight time, a Schempp-Hirth Nimbus 3/24.5, N4427M, collided with power lines while attempting a forced landing near Macdoel, California. The glider was substantially damaged, and the private pilot/owner sustained minor injuries. The personal flight originated at the Siskiyou County, California, airport at 1240. Visual meteorological conditions existed for the flight and no flight plan was filed.The pilot reported that the purpose of the flight was a closed circuit contest. The departure and destination points were the Siskiyou airport via Callahan Dry Lake, Butte Valley Airport, and Tenant South, all in California. The pilot said that in order to stay clear of high cirrus clouds over the Butte Valley airport, he flew south instead of direct to Tennant South, where he expected a thermal lift. He stated that approximately 7 miles south of Butte Valley airport he thermaled in a weak lift and it disappeared. At this point, the glider's altitude was 5,900 feet mean sea level (msl). The pilot stated that because there was not a sufficient gain in altitude he elected to fly north again to land at the Butte Valley airport.Approximately 4 miles from the Butte Valley airport, the pilot encountered an unexpected heavy sink rate which precluded landing at the airport. The field that he chose for an off-airport landing was a dirt strip approximately 1,000 feet long by 120 feet wide. The pilot reported that on final approach to the field he noticed a different set of power lines than the ones he had seen during the initial look at the area. These lines ran from east to west at the northern edge of the dirt strip on which he was landing to the south. In order to avoid the obstructions, the pilot attempted to fly over the lines. The pilot stated that after the right wing caught the wires, the glider fell to the ground, hit tail first, then bounced back into the air again before contacting the ground.

Pentagon Swears It Wasn't Involved In The Latest Libya Raid
When U.S. special operators assisted by Libyan forces nabbed al Qaeda leader Nazih al-Ruqai in Libya in October, the United States quickly hailed it as a victory. But the raid was greeted with threats of Americans being kidnapped, as the Libyan government protested the operation publicly even while supporting it in private.
That makes Monday's reported operation in the Libyan city of Misrata all the more interesting. Initial Libyan media reports say the U.S. and Libyan forces collaborated to capture Saifallah Benahssine, the leader of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia. But a spokesman for U.S. Africa Command, Chuck Prichard, quickly poured cold water on the idea of American involvement in the mission.
"We have no indications that any U.S. forces were involved," he said in a phone interview with Foreign Policy.
A Pentagon official, Maj. Rob Firman also said the Defense Department had no involvement in the operation.
"We have heard the reports, but were not involved," he said.
It remains to be seen if Benahssine really is in custody, and if so, where. When the United States captured al-Ruqai in November, he was transported for interrogation to a deployed Navy ship in the region, the USS San Antonio.
Benhssine (pictured above), also known as Abu Iyadh, allegedly was one of the main leaders in the September 2012 attack on the U.S. embassy in Tunisia, where Ansar al-Sharia was formed. U.S. officials said the extremist group also had a central role in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. That attack was pushed back into the headlines on Sunday after the New York Times published a 7,000-word story that drew the conclusion that al Qaeda had no direct role in the attack and that is was prompted primarily by anger over an anti-Islamic video produced in the United States.
The Times report has been criticized repeatedly by Republican lawmakers. They insisted that al Qaeda was directly involved, rather than just loosely involved with the group in Benghazi that carried out the attack.

Last Saturday's crushing 44-6 win over Bristol – Rotherham's biggest margin of victory at home in the league since they beat Newbury 62-5 in November 2008 – propelled the rapidly-improving Titans to second place in the Championship.
For the third time this season, they toppled the side that led the league, with Bristol joining Bedford and London Welsh as the Titans' prized scalps.
However, victory at Cornish Pirates – just one place below them in the league – would arguably top the lot because Andre Bester's men were humiliated 67-14 there in last season's televised play-off encounter.
Doncaster v London Welsh is first up on Saturday's four-game bill, where the Knights will seeking their first win in six games against the Exiles. The Yorkshire outfit did pick up a losing bonus point though in each of last season's two defeats.
Bedford have a good record against Plymouth in recent times, winning all of the last four meetings. Indeed, Albion have not beaten the Blues at home in the league since December 2006.
Saturday's remaining fixtures see Moseley play Bristol, a game which ended 13-13 last season, while London Scottish are at home to bottom-of-the-table Esher.
The final game of Round 10 comes at Headingley on Sunday afternoon where Leeds Carnegie will be looking to make it five Championship wins on the bounce with victory over Nottingham. Leeds have won all four games between the sides at this level as well as an EDF Energy Cup semi-final in 2009.

You could scarcely be more Canadian than comedian Kelly Taylor. "I grew up on (SCTV's) Bob & Doug (McKenzie)," he says. "There's probably no movie I've watched more than Strange Brew. We watched that every weekend." Another early influence was fellow Canuck comic Norm McDonald. "They used have comedy every Sunday night on our local radio station in Saskatchewan. They used to play little bits, and they had this one I remember, I recorded it on a cassette, it was Norm McDonald talking about being in a car. I remember thinking, 'Wow, that's awesome.'" It was at the end of college that Taylor decided he should finally try standup comedy, lest he wind up having to get a real job. Taylor was looking for a gig when his mom told him that the local bank needed a comedian to entertain at the annual Christmas party. "When you first do comedy, you do an amateur night and do maybe five minutes. I never knew that was the way you started in comedy." He asked how long of a set they wanted, and the answer was "about an hour." So that's what Taylor did for his first go at standup. "It went pretty good. Then after that I started the way you're supposed to. I got up on stage and did five minutes or whatever." 18+; 21+ later shows.
July 28-Aug. 1, 8 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 10:30 p.m. Starts: July 28. Continues through Aug. 1, 2010

Volkswagen recalls 1.4 million vehicles
German carmaker Volkswagen said on Thursday it is recalling about 1.4 million vehicles.
The company is recalling 800,000 models of its Tiguan compact sport-utility vehicle worldwide for risks of a partial malfunctioning of its lights. The recall will apply to Tiguans assembled between early 2008 and mid-2010, the Wolfsburg-based company said in a statement on Thursday.
Also, VW will recall 640,309 cars and minivans in China to replace oil in their transmissions that might cause an electrical problem, the Chinese government product quality agency said today.
It's the second recall of Volkswagen vehicles this year, a setback for the German automaker following a March report by state TV that criticized its quality standards, according to The Associated Press.
FSG narrows third quarter loss
The parent company of Chattanooga-based FSG Bank narrowed its third quarter losses this year after recapitalizing the bank in April.
But First Security Group, Inc. still suffered from stiffer competition and narrower margins for loans this summer.
First Security Group said Thursday it lost $1.4 million, or 2 cents per share, in the three months ended Sept. 30. In the same period a year ago, First Security lost $9.4 million, or $5.79 per share.
For the nine months of the year, First Security reported net income of $12 million, or 30 cents per share, compared to a $23.5 million loss, or $14.54 per share, for the same period in 2012.
"The third quarter represents the first full quarter after the April recapitalization," said Michael Kramer, First Security's chief executive officer.

The airline transport pilot (ATP) flying a 1937 vintage tailwheel-equipped airplane collided with trees and terrain during a forced landing following a loss of engine power shortly after departure from the pilot's private grass airstrip. The single-engine airplane was destroyed in a post impact fire. An examination of the vintage radial engine revealed a cracked cylinder head and "blow torching" through the exhaust valve port.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Thu, Jun 07, 2007
England's Defense Minister Lord Drayson announced Wednesday the
government had approved a Private Finance Initiative solution as
the most cost-effective way of replacing the Royal Air Force's
aging fleet of VC10 and TriStar aircraft, with Airbus
The Ministry of Defense is in the process of tying up
contractual loose ends to close the FSTA (Future Strategic Tanker
Aircraft) PFI deal with winning bidder AirTanker Ltd., according to
the Ministry of Defense.
The company announced Wednesday it has already begun work on
raising the nearly $4 billion in necessary capital by putting the
word out to the banking community. According to its website,
AirTanker is a company "dedicated exclusively to providing FSTA" to
the UK MoD.
"FSTA will provide the RAF
with a modern air-to-air refueling and strategic air transport
capability which is crucial in this era of expeditionary
operations. It will replace the RAF's fleet of VC10 and TriStar
aircraft. A PFI solution is the best way to provide our Armed
Forces with significantly improved capability," Lord Drayson said.
"The Ministry of Defense and AirTanker Ltd will now work together
to secure financial and contractual close on a PFI deal as quickly
as possible."
The FSTA project is designed to modernize the RAF's air
transport and air-to-air refueling capability by replacing its
existing fleet of decades-old VC-10 and TriStar aircraft. FSTA will
be provided through a 27-year PFI contract.
The 14 A330-200s will be owned and supported by AirTanker with
the RAF in complete operational control. The first aircraft will
enter service in 2011. The balance of the fleet will become
available to the RAF over the following five years.
"This announcement represents an enormous step forward in this
vital program for the RAF and UK defense. Air-to-air refueling and
strategic airlift are fundamental to the UK's expeditionary
capability and FSTA is a crucial part of that," said Air Chief
Marshal Sir Glenn Torpy, Chief of the Air Staff.
"Although our current fleets of VC10 and Tristar aircraft are
doing a superb job, both fleets are coming towards the end of their
useful lives. I am, therefore, delighted that this key milestone
has been achieved, and I look forward to getting the new aircraft
and facilities into service as soon as possible."

Bells are associated with the divine: their sound is symbolic of creative power, their shape a symbol of the female force and the celestial vault. The sound vibrations created by the ringing of bells have been believed for centuries to possess a magical and/or spiritual power. In some Witchcraft traditions, the bell is used to open and close the circle, creating positive astral energy.
Temple Ritual Bell
This large wood and brass bell is a wonderful asset for the altar. Great for casting a circle, coven work, and opening and closing the temple. About 8 inches.
Item #: SQ263, Price: $21.99
