Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a gift certificate to give someone an EVOO experience?
We are always grateful when our guests want to share an EVOO experience. The most popular way to do this is to plan a date together and come together with you picking up the tab. If you cannot coordinate such a visit but still wish to "treat" them, you may tell them you will make and pay for the reservation on the date of their choice.
Are you a restaurant?
Not exactly but "yes" as it is the closest one can be to a restaurant. EVOO offers unique recreational cooking and dining experiences from hands-on cooking classes to interactive demonstration dinner shows. At all experiences, guests are served a full meal.
Why must I pay in advance for reservations at EVOO?
Unlike a traditional restaurant, our ingredient purchases are precise for the number of guests and the menu we are making. And if we have a "no-shows " party, we do not have a convenient way to re-purpose the fresh ingredients our chef carefully purchased from our local farmers, fishers, and ranchers. For some dates we keep a wait list, but a no-show on the night of a reservation doesn't give us enough time to fill in with a wait-listed guest. We appreciate our guest's understanding that this is a necessary and reasonable practice given the circumstances of our events.
Is tip included?
Service tips are not included in our show pricing. That said, all of our associates are paid a living wage regardless of their position here. If so inclined your monetary recognition of their professional performance is always appreciated.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you have to cancel for any reason you may sell your tickets or give them away. We do not issue refunds for cancellations. We do understand that emergencies occur. If you cannot transfer ownership to someone else, please let us know and we will try to sell your tickets on your behalf. If we do, you may register your attendance on another date, depending upon there is availability, and such reservations cannot be extended a second time.
Can you recommend lodging?
We recommend you secure lodging before you buy your tickets to the show just in the rare circumstance you do not find lodging for the dates you desire. If you need help with lodging you may go to these websites: Cannon Beach Vacation Rentals for a Cannon Beach bungalow Chamber of Commerce website at www.cannonbeach.org
Guide to Cannon Beach at www.cannon-beach.net
May we bring our own wine to a dinner show?
Outside wines at any EVOO experience does not work for most of our shows, because at shows where the menu is paired to the wines, our pairings are a large part of the experience. We have many food friendly wines in our store that can be purchased for shows/experiences that do not include wines. Chef Bob always gives a recommendation for wines that match all of these menus. Beer is also available as are soft natural beverages. Beverages are priced at shelf prices, not wine-list prices.
Why am I asked to give you my food allergies and diet restrictions?
With advance notice, we can make substitutions and alternatives for most common food allergies (i.e. celiac, tree nuts, soy, etc.); as well as conscientious restrictions such as vegetarian, Pescatarian, no pork, etc. Creating these options becomes part of the learning process for everyone attending. In fact, many guests find it interesting how simply adjustments can be made when starting with whole foods and how very close to the original menu item we can make it. Because of the extra time it takes to accommodate these allergies and diet restrictions, we will not make substitutions for preferences or dislikes that are not related to health needs or lifestyle/religious needs. Generally, though, we are able to accommodate most diet requests if we have advance notice. All substitutions and alternatives are at the discretion of the chefs. In some instances, our chef will call you directly before agreeing to accommodate your allergies/restrictions.
What about seating? Should I come early for a good seat?
Coming 10 - 15 minutes early is recommended, but we create a seating chart based on the number and size of the parties that buy tickets for each event, so your seat is reserved. Since we have a small intimate space, we can only fit a certain number of people into each one of our experiences for best results. Therefore, we are unable to give preferential seating to any party or guest based on their preferences. If there is a special need such as wheel chair, hearing or sight impairment, we will make exceptions as best we can. We have many requests for bar seating as well as the high tables behind the bar. We believe all seats are good seats! NOTE: Parties greater than six often must be split up in deference to our other guests attending. We recommend parties greater than ten reserve the entire date for their private party. If this is not possible, we may need to limit the size of your group to ten or less and we will not seat such groups together to ensure our remaining guests feel equal at the event. We also appreciate when large groups reserve their private celebratory actions, such as gift giving and toasting, for after the show.
What about private events?
When groups want a private event, they are required to purchase a minimum of 18-22 seats, depending upon day of the week and time of year. Groups of over 10 must acquire the date of their choice as a private party in most cases. If their party is less than minimum, the cost to become private is still for the minimum number of guests. In addition, when the menu is customized and/or personalized, a service fee up to 20% is added. For business groups or corporate parties, please call our reservationist to make sure the date you want is available. Chef Bob will take it from there.
What other activities do you recommend in Cannon Beach?
Of course, shopping the many quaint shops lining the main street of town is always a favorite activity when in Cannon Beach. Also midtown supports more galleries and shops like Center Diamond. We also like the History Center, and the Friends of Haystack who support the city's Haystack Awareness program, so be sure to check them out. ` Here are a few of the many places we enjoy:
- CB Theatre Always a treat for a very reasonable price!
- Galleries of Primary Elements, Northwest By Northwest, Jeffrey Hull Gallery, Ice Fire Glassworks and many more are available almost every day, making our town one of the best art destinations in the US.
- NW Women's Surf Camps If you want to learn this invigorating sport, start here. Lexie brings such passion to the art of surfing that you leave with much more than a great day at the beach.
- For nostalgic history, follow the S-curves on Hemlock Street south to end of our little town, called Tolovana Park. Here you find "The Lost Art of Nursing Museum." Open Saturdays 1-4 pm, and by appointment; you are guided by Melodie, nurse, proprietor, and curator of this historic, fun and uplifting place.
``And of course if you go to our Chamber of Commerce website you will see lots more activities and things to do in the broader area. A complete guide to CB activities with great photos can be found at Cannon-Beach.net.

CarCoverPlanet $199.99 per row
CLICK HERE for Seat Configuration Help
Photos of Custom Covers from Our Satisfied Customers (click to view)
DescriptionVelour is the perfect Custom Seat Cover material for luxury vehicles and your 1987 Ford Thunderbird. This material is standard on some luxury domestic cars, and matches perfectly with the factor interior. It is available in several colors and matches perfectly with Coverking Custom Dash and Rear Deck Covers. Velour doesn't stretch, and so may be more challenging to install.
Includes covers for your vehicle's headrests, seat-mounted armrests and folding consoles (on 40/20/40 configurations). Front seat map pockets are standard. Airbag flaps provided when noted.
CarCoverPlanet.com Exclusive Fabric NotesThe Velour fabric has a luxurious, plush feel to them. Very soft and nice to the touch. Additional cushion is provided by a layer of foam backing. Total thickness is about 4 millimeters. Water tends to sit on top of the fabric, very slowly sinking in. The fabric and foam actually soak up quite a bit of water, so very little goes through the back. A towel removes most of the water.
Color Notes: Black just a tad lighter than pure black (common with Velour). Gray is light gray. Charcoal is between Black and Grey, favoring the darker side. Tan is a light color, with a definite orange cast to it. Dark Blue is a very dark rich blue. Taupe is a medium brownish-gray, close to neutral tan.

ABC, NBC morning shows suggested -- contrary to administration statements -- that Bush will reconsider Iraq policy
Research ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
On the November 7 edition of ABC's Good Morning America, ABC chief White House correspondent Martha Raddatz baselessly asserted that President Bush "will likely reassess what is happening with his policy in Iraq" because "he does not want this to be an issue in 2008." Similarly on the November 7 edition of NBC's Today, NBC special correspondent Tom Brokaw uncritically aired part of an October 26 press conference in which Bush claimed to be "not satisfied with the situation in Iraq" and added that "we're taking new steps to help secure Baghdad." In fact, more recent statements by Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have indicated that the Bush administration has no plans to change its policy in Iraq.
As the Associated Press reported on November 1, Bush said in an interview that "he did not foresee a change in the immediate future in the number of U.S. troops in Iraq" and he also "replied in the affirmative" that he wants Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld "to stay with him until the end." Conflicting directly with his October 26 statement aired on Today, Bush said about Rumsfeld's work on changing the military and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: "I'm pleased with the progress we're making." Neither Raddatz nor Brokaw noted this. Indeed, Bush's promise to keep Rumsfeld as defense secretary through 2009 appears to have been reported less widely than other stories in the media. In a November 1-4 Pew Research Center for the People and the Press poll, 60 percent of respondents reported that they had heard "a lot" about "John Kerry's recent comments that critics said insulted U.S. troops in Iraq, which he described as 'a botched joke,' " while 26 percent of respondents reported that they had heard "a lot" about "President Bush's announcement that he will keep Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense until he leaves office in 2009."
Cheney himself refuted the suggestion -- such as that articulated by Raddatz -- that the administration's policy going forward would reflect voter concerns. When asked "if the vote on Tuesday [will] have any effect on the president's Iraq policy," Cheney replied that "the president has made clear what his objective is, it's victory in Iraq. And full speed ahead on that basis, and that's exactly what we're going to do." In the same interview, as Media Matters noted, Cheney claimed that the administration doesn't "make decisions based on the polls ... based on pundits on television, or whether or not it's popular" even though Media Matters has documented numerous instances in which the administration has reportedly timed events or made policy decisions in Iraq based on political considerations.
From the November 7 edition of ABC's Good Morning America:
RADDATZ: But he finished up his campaigning in Texas last night with his very simple message: Stick with us and the country will be better off. As you know, this has been a referendum on the president this election. Some candidates not wanting to appear with the president because of the war in Iraq. The president will likely reassess what is happening with his policy in Iraq. He does not want this to be an issue in 2008. And, for more on the 2008 race, we go to [White House correspondent] Kate Snow in Chappaqua, N.Y.
From the November 7 edition of NBC's Today:
BROKAW: Gas prices, health care, housing cost, immigration, gay marriage, and the war. Always the war.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN [video clip]: If they need to be over there fighting right now, then we need to support them, even if we don't necessarily agree with war.
BROKAW: Iraq has divided this country deeply. Where is the war taking us? What happened to "stay the course"?
BUSH [video clip]: I know many Americans are not satisfied with the situation in Iraq. I'm not satisfied either. And that is why we're taking new steps to help secure Baghdad.
BROKAW: Even longtime Republicans see this election as a vote up or down on those who thought the war was a good idea.

When many of us first logged onto the Internet, having a megabit connection seemed impossible. Today, network speeds a thousand times faster are both possible and affordable and broadband networks drive productivity and economic growth. In January, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced the Gigabit City Challenge to have at least one gigabit network in all 50 states by 2015. Currently, there are 13 gigabit city networks in various phases of operation, allowing innovators to develop next-generation applications. How are they using these networks? How will businesses, governments, and schools leverage them to increase job growth, innovation and productivity? What will it take for these local projects to grow and meet the challenge? Blair Levin will describe the work of the Gig.U Project, its efforts to change the economics of broadband deployment, and how more bandwidth can enable more jobs and economic growth. Craig Settles, author of Building the Gigabit City and the host of the popular radio program Gigabit Nation will talk about business strategies for putting Gigabit networks into place, as well as policy issues that affect community broadband.

Steven Honson has brought the problem up on the MPD mailing list.
You can follow the development of the situation here:
(Beware of line break in link)
Since the developer of MPD does not seem to believe that there IS a problem
I have taken the liberty of referring to Manuel's post about it.
Manuel: Do you perhaps have the time to go into the discussion?

Who's Going
San Francisco, California

Florence, Italy
Event Details
TEDxYouth@Hollywood is a day-long conference for Los Angeles area youth ages 14-19. The event will feature presentations and performances by youth and adults with mind, heart and spirit-expanding stories and ideas to share.
The theme of this year's conference is JUMPING, as in, jumping into something new, exciting, scary or inspirational. And jumping just for the fun of jumping!

About TED & TEDx
About TEDxYouth@Hollywood
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.
TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.
TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

Why demonize Voter ID policies?
posted at 10:20 am on August 20, 2012 by Libby Sternberg
Democrats oppose Voter ID laws because they want to steal elections.
That's a scurrilous charge, isn't it? Democrats would protest that their opposition to Voter ID laws is motivated not by base intentions but by the noble desire to ensure that certain populations not be denied access to the vote.
Why should we believe them? Many of them certainly don't believe that Republicans who support Voter ID laws are anything but malevolently motivated. To the folks at places like Moveon.org, Voter ID laws are but one part of a massive racist voter suppression scheme perpetrated by evil conservatives, funded by the evilest of them all, the Koch Brothers.
So, the next time the hard left and their willing sheep start bleating about "voter suppression," why shouldn't those on the right start talking about liberals' desire to block Voter ID initiatives because liberals really just want to make it easier to "steal elections"?
Maybe one of the reasons liberals would rather discuss alleged motivations instead of the actual policy is because Voter ID programs are supported by a vast majority of Americans. According to a July Washington Post poll nearly three-quarters of respondents believe one should have to show ID to vote.
With poll numbers like those, of course Voter ID opponents would rather make this a debate about "suppression" and "racism." Nobody likes a racist, after all, so they easily win that fake argument, while they lose the one on the policy itself.
Some reasonable observations, however, explain the strong support for Voter ID:
Most Americans understand that when you engage in serious activities, you are required to show proof that you are who you say you are.
Your bank, for example, might ask for ID even when you're making a deposit into your own account.
Unions ask for proof of union membership before allowing members to vote.
And government offices (even ones fighting Voter ID laws in the courts) ask for ID before allowing just anyone to come on the premises.
Americans confront on a daily basis the need for proof of ID, and they understand why it's important.
They also know how little is required of them when they walk into a polling place. In most places, they're just asked to give their name.
Surely it has crossed their minds how easy it would be for a less-than-altruistic individual to abuse that level of public trust. They don't need to watch James O'Keefe videos to understand this on a visceral level. They know, perhaps also on a gut level, how easy it is for people caught up in the passion of the moment—zealously supporting a candidate, for example—to rationalize away bad behavior in service of a perceived "common good."
And one doesn't have to be a news junkie to realize that some elections are close, and that sometimes recounts take months with the result being less than satisfactory for one side or the other.
In short, Americans know that how clean an election is just might tilt the outcome.
But opponents of these laws say Voter ID is a solution in search of a problem, since voter fraud is so low in the U.S.
Voter fraud is real, and it can swing a close election in some districts. What might not be so real, however, is the alleged disenfranchisement of voters due to Voter ID laws.
Recently, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Judge Simpson refused to grant an injunction to plaintiffs seeking to block Pennsylvania's new Voter ID law. In his ruling, Judge Simpson wrote that he didn't find credible the studies of a university professor testifying for the plaintiffs, due to "oversampling; post-stratification weighting…and overarching design for 'eligible' voters as opposed to 'registered' voters." Judge Simpson also "had doubts about the survey execution: response rate; and timing." The judge specifically "rejected Petitioners attempts to inflate the numbers (percent of registered voters without ID)."
Before opponents dismiss Judge Simpson as a partisan, it should be noted that he also blocked Republicans' attempts to thwart ACORN voter registration work back in 2008.
Most Americans won't read Judge Simpson's ruling, but they don't need to in order to understand these common sense ideas:
- It's important to show proof of identity for serious transactions.
- Close elections in the past demonstrate how important it is to ensure clean elections, and
- Sometimes well-intentioned partisans might cross the line because of their zeal.
Voter ID opponents can continue to question supporters' motives, but that tactic does nothing to advance the legitimate discussion of ways to ensure clean elections. So the next time Voter ID debates turn to talk of voter suppression, ask why opponents are so disinterested in clean elections. If motivation is the topic and not the policy itself, such a question is fair game.

If only a searing scandal about rogue cops hadn't tainted the West Valley City Police Department, there may have been more sympathy for the officers who announced Monday that the active search for Susan Powell, and whoever is responsible for her disappearance, is over.
Susan Powell vanished from her West Valley City home in December 2009 and has never been found. Her husband, Josh Powell, was the only person of interest ever named in the case, and he refused to cooperate with investigators.
And, in February 2012, Josh Powell set off an explosion at his Washington state rental home, killing himself and the couple's two boys, Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5.
After all that time and all that investigative work, all that coordination with various state and federal authorities and district attorneys, all those fruitless searches in several states, in mines, deserts, mountains and canyons, the West Valley City Police Department decided it was time to end the active investigation.
In other circumstances, the department and its officers might be heralded as relentless truth seekers who, despite tapping every tactic in the cop manual, just couldn't find Susan or enough evidence to persuade prosecutors to bring charges in her disappearance.
But here we are, still awash in revelations about an apparently rogue narcotics squad that allegedly took shortcuts, mishandled evidence and committed other misdeeds not least the shooting death of Danielle Willard on Nov. 2 by two detectives in a low-level drug bust.
In announcing the end of the active Powell probe, West Valley City Manager Wayne Pyle said the 3 ½-year operation was a "long and arduous struggle. It's time to do it. There are no active leads."
But, he added, if any new, credible leads appear, "we will pursue them ourselves."
The department also released a huge cache of documents produced by the investigation, including those previously sealed by court order.
Meantime, so many elements of the Powell case remain opaque. Did Josh Powell's brother, Michael Powell, have a role in Susan's disappearance? Investigators suspected he did but he, like Josh, took his own life.
"With suicides," said Deputy Chief Mike Powell (no relation), "many details have left this world with them."
It may be that, in time, a casual explorer will find Susan's remains. If nothing else, that would give some comfort to the families and friends who loved her.
In the meantime, the West Valley City Police Department has some soul-searching to do. The reckoning that will come after the completion of the investigation into its drug unit is inevitable.
And Willard's parents, Melissa Kennedy and Fred Willard, may find their own kind of peace in knowing what really happened to the daughter they both loved.

I was first diagnosed with eczema when I was pregnant with my daughter 23 years ago. She was diagnosed with eczema when she was a baby. Her eczema is mostly on her feet, legs, and hands. I have hand eczema which is exacerbated by frequent hand washing. I'm a registered nurse. After much trial and error, I have discovered a compound which has worked wonders to control our outbreaks. We've used the treatment for several years and are still very pleased with the results. I learned that creams work much better than ointments in controlling our symptoms. I also learned that eating yogurt every day helps to control my symptoms. I mix this compound at home using a digital kitchen scale.
Treatment for my hand eczema:
Mix well and store in ointment jars. I keep a small one in my purse and another larger one at home.
Directions: Apply as needed to control symptoms.
Most days I will only apply it once. On days when I feel that an outbreak is threatening, I will apply it 2 or 3 times within an hour to stop or minimize the outbreak. If I can keep myself from scratching when the outbreak is eminent, then the treatment is usually more effective. Please note that the amount of steroid that I use is significantly lessened because it's diluted in the hand cream.
Treatment for my daughter's eczema:
Note: Puncture the capsules with a needle and squeeze the oil out.
Directions: Apply as needed. She usually applies it once or twice daily. The steroid in her cream is much stronger.
I take generic Claritin every day. My daughter has found that Zyrtec every day works better for her.
Hopefully others can benefit from this.

Animal therapy has proven benefits for people suffering from many medical conditions.
But what about stuffed animals?
People with Alzheimer's or age-related dementia are often forced to part ways with their pets. At least that was the case for Betty Dickson and her calico cat, Caldonia.
But her two daughters, Bettina Dickson Rusher and Frances Dickson, quickly came up with a solution - a stuffed animal.
It looked similar to the real Caldonia and they even gave it the same name, but would it work?
"When I gave it to my mother her first response was `Well, she's artificial,"' recalls Dickson. "Within a week she was attached to it. And over time, we noticed her attachment to Caldonia continued to grow."
Their mother grew so attached to the furry stuffed animal, she passed away while holding it in her arms.
After seeing her attachment and the benefits their mother garnered from the concept, the sisters decided to start Memorable Pets, a company that sells stuffed dogs and cats with 18 percent of their proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Association for research.
"I would say we are a company that promotes stuffed animal therapy for Alzheimer's and mid- to late-stage dementia," Rusher says.
Their mother wasn't the only evidence they had showing it was beneficial. They had been buying stuffed animals as gifts for other residents at the nursing facility where their mother lived, all of whom became attached to the pets.
"As we did research we found that as the cognitive area of the brain is the first to decline, the last thing to decline is the need for comfort and the need for love," Dickson says.
The idea is that the stuffed animal provides the owner with a sense of nurturing. It also can act as a distraction and have a calming effect on the patient.
Memorable Pets are used in Los Angeles at Hollenbeck Palms, a continuing care retirement community, and Angels Nursing Health Center. The company also has sold pets to individuals all over, including people in all 50 states, Canada, England and Brazil.
Camille Goldsmith is the director of nursing services at Hollenbeck Palms and has seen the effect stuffed animals have on the patients there.
In addition to the Memorable Pets, they also have other types of pets and toys available for the residents with cognitive disabilities. She calls them "security objects."
Since symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia include crying out and depression, these items that provide companionship and comfort are good alternative treatments to medication, Goldsmith says.
"We observe that it is reassuring for them to have a pet to stroke and caress and hug and even look into the eyes and talk to. They become quite possessive of the toys, much like a child who won't sleep without a favorite blanket," Goldsmith says.
"We take measures to keep them clean and replace them if they become worn out, sometimes giving them replacements for a birthday or Christmas. Some of them become as worn as in `The Velveteen Rabbit."'
Though some treatments are said to slow down the worsening of symptoms, there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's. So patients are mostly treated for quality of life.
But Dickson and Rusher say there were benefits they received as family members, too.
Dickson says that as their mother's disease progressed, there were few topics she could talk about, but Caldonia was always a subject her mother was able to discuss.
It became a connection not only between their mother and the stuffed animal, but with other members of the family.
And knowing their mother was receiving joy and love from Caldonia was also a source of comfort for them.
If you don't have a family member with the disease but still want to help, Memorable Pets also has a "Pets 2 People" program, where you can buy a stuffed animal and have it delivered to a person in a nursing home. The sisters are working on turning it into a nonprofit program.
To those skeptical of the value of this program, the sisters say people who have a loved one with Alzheimer's disease need to realize that their loved one is living in a confused world, and these comforting, consistent objects can truly be helpful.
And they say most family members begin to understand once they see the pet in their loved one's arms.
"When people see the comfort that many people get from them, they're like, `OK, we get it,"' says Dickson.

CHICAGO - Despite admitting dissatisfaction over his new bench role, forward Pau Gasol maintained he wants to stay with the Lakers.
"I'd love to and I want this to work for us," Gasol said following the Lakers' 95-83 loss Monday to the Chicago Bulls at United Center.
"I feel like I'm a part of this team and part of this franchise. I love to play here for as many years as possible because I identify myself with the team. I want it to work."
Gasol has two years left on his contract, worth $38.3 million. Though he became the subject of many trade rumors last year following the nixed Chris Paul deal, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said last week not to expect the front office to become "active" leading up to the Feb.21 trade deadline.
Shipping Gasol could also be troublesome because of the possibility Dwight Howard bolts once he becomes a free agent this offseason.
Nonetheless, Gasol's demotion prompted him to concede his standing remains uncertain.
"Trades are part of this business," Gasol said, "and always a possibility for any player except the ones that have clauses that say they have to agree with the trade."

Post subject: VR's Quarterly Assessment + 2013 Mock
Christian Ponder | Joe Webb | McLeod Bethel-Thompson
Barring a complete collapse the rest of the season, Ponder appears to have solidified the starting QB position through 2013. I dont anticipate any dramatic changes going forward. Ponder has been cool, collective, and efficient. Over the course of the season, there needs to be some evolution of the downfield passing game and that starts with Ponder showing more trust and confidence to pull the trigger and make big time throws. I don't anticipate Webb or Bethel-Thompson losing there jobs either.
Adrian Peterson | Toby Gerhart | Matt Asiata | Jerome Felton
Peterson appears to be on his way towards complete recovery from his injury. Peterson has shown to be an effective rusher, who can make all the cuts as before, though we have yet to see that explosive acceleration that has sprung Peterson for big runs. Hopefully as the season progresses, Peterson will regain some of that big play potential. Gerhart has been a disappointing backup so far but his job should be safe in 2013. Asiata seems like a solid overall backup, though I would prefer more of a scat back type. Felton has been a pleasant surprise at FB and has really been a steady lead blocker.
Percy Harvin | Jerome Simpson | Michael Jenkins | Devin Aromashodu | Stephen Burton | Jarius Wright | Greg Childs (IR)
Harvin is the man and clearly the driving force in the Vikings passing game. I have been a bit disappointed in Harvin's ability to create separation and the overall lack of ability to get Harvin involved as a downfield receiver. The nice dink and dunk stuff is efficient, but eventually teams will figure out ways to defend it and limit. I have been greatly disappointed with the Vikings receivers and their ability to make big plays down field, though hopefully Jerome Simpson can be a solution to this problem. I like Simpson's potential as a compliment to Harvin. Jenkins and Aromashodu are clearly stop gaps who probably wont be on the team in 2013. Burton just looks lost out there and not much can be said about Wright and Childs, and there long-term potential.
Kyle Rudolph | John Carlson | Rhett Ellison
Rudolph hasn't been involved in the passing game as much as I would have liked. I really want to see the Vikings be more aggressive with throwing to the TEs down the middle. With Rudolph's frame, catch radius, and sticky hands, I think he would be a reliable target to try and hit 10-15 yards down the seam. It just hasnt been there this year. Carlson has been a major disappointment and probably isn't worth keeping around at his salary. Ellison has seen limited playing time, though I think he can fill Carlson's role as the #2 TE just fine.
Matt Kalil | Charlie Johnson | John Sullivan | Brandon Fusco | Phil Loadholt
The Vikings starting line has looked quite good in pass protection so far. However, they did seem to struggle against the Lions and I think that played a huge role in Ponder being ineffective in Detroit. The strength of this starting line seems to be as run blockers, and they seem to be improving as the season has progressed. Kalil and Loadholt have both looked good and have been fairly consistent. Sullivan has really elevated his game this year and is clearly the key cog in the interior line. Fusco has been a great surprise and I think he has a future as a starter in this league. Johnson is serviceable and adequate for the time being, though he is the type of player you replace if you can reasonably do so.
Geoff Schwartz | Joe Berger | Mark Asper | DeMarcus Love (IR)
Nothing really excites me about this group. Schwartz is injury prone but is probably a decent fill in at either OG spot. Berger is a valuable backup who can fill any interior line spot. Asper and Love are simply developmental players at this point. Certainly, the Vikings could stand to upgrade its depth.
Jared Allen | Brian Robison | Everson Griffen | D'Aundre Reed
The Vikings starting four have been impressive, both against the run and pass. The sacks will eventually come for Allen and Robison, who would appear to be off to slow starts. Though, I am often baffled by Robison's inconsistencies as a pass rusher. Some games he looks legit, others, he is nonexistent. Griffen is off to a great start and has shown some explosive pass rush ability. Reed is a developmental player who wont ever be active, barring injuries. 2013-2014 is a key year for the Vikes defensive end outlook. Allen, Robison and Griffen all see there contracts expire after 2013. I think keeping Allen and Griffen are a must, you have to keep that steady leader and promising understudy. Robison, like Ray Edwards, I could do without. Griffen might even be a better player right now than Robison.
Kevin Williams | Letroy Guion | Fred Evans | Christian Ballard
Williams has been stellar against the run, though there has been very little mention of him as a pass rusher. Clearly, I think he is regressing as a DT who can get penetration but he is still steady and doesn't get pushed around. The question is, what is his future outlook in MN given he is in the last year of his contract? Guion has been a pleasant surprise. What has really impressed me with Guion is he seems to have a good ability to get after the QB, despite being a NT, a position more prone to receiving double teams. Guion has also held up in the run and I think its clear, Guion is someone the Vikings can feel good about as a starter. Evans offers very little value in the long-term and Christian Ballard has never stood out to me. It might be too soon to call Ballard a bust, but I wish he would show more to surpass Evans as the top backup at DT.
Chad Greenway | Erin Henderson | Marvin Mitchell | Larry Dean
Greenway and Henderson have both been having big years, in run defense and as pass rushers. Though, they still are struggling in pass coverage. Clearly, Greenway and Henderson are better down hill players. I also think its clear that Henderson deserves a new contract extension, though his concussion history will likely play a huge role in those contract negotiations. Mitchell has been a pleasant surprise as a reserve, and is someone that MN can feel good about as a spot starter. Dean is basically Heath Farwell v2.
Jasper Brinkley | Tyrone McKenzie | Audie Cole
Brinkley has surpassed my expectations, and he has been a really steady run defender. Granted his pass coverage abilities probably arent ideal for this defense, I honestly think he has looked better as the nickel MLB than Henderson. McKenzie is a reliable special teams player and Cole seems to have some potential as a developmental MLB.
Chris Cook | Josh Robinson | Antoine Winfield | A.J. Jefferson | Brandon Burton | Marcus Sherels
Cook and Robinson have both been a nice surprise on the outside. Neither has really been a liability in downfield coverage and have done a nice job at keeping the play in front of them. They have both given up a number of passes underneath, but that is just how zone defense usually works. Robinson seems to have a knack for being around the ball and has clearly been a great rookie for this team. Cook has very poor ball skills but I feel good about matching him up against anyone in this league. Winfield just looks lost in coverage 15+ yards field, but when he is in that 0-15 range, Winfield has been exceptional this year, sniffing out the run and getting his hands on a number of passes. Jefferson and Burton are both developmental players who could have a bigger role once Winfield retires. I am convinced Sherels is only on the roster for PR purposes, but hey, if he continues to produce big returns, his presence on the roster is fine with me.
Harrison Smith | Mistral Raymond | Jamarca Sanford | Robert Blanton | Andrew Sendejo
Smith's presence on the Vikings defense has clearly been noticed, I actually think Smith has been the Vikings most impactful rookie. Smith has really been a solid force back there, who has shown the tenacity to play in the box and the smarts and range to play in deep halves. There isn't much negative that can be said about Smith to this point. Raymond looked solid, though his injury really hurt his chances this year. I like Raymond in coverage though he has no presence in the run game and doesn't seem to have a knack for the ball. Sanford is great in run defense and really does a good job at jarring the ball lose. Blanton is a decent developmental player and Sendejo is probably Eric Frampton v2.
Blair Walsh | Chris Kluwe | Cullen Loeffler | Percy Harvin | Marcus Sherels
Special teams has bailed this team out several times this year, notably against the Jaguars and Lions. Walsh has been phenomenal, both as a place kicker and on kickoffs. The return game has looked pretty good too. I have been very disappointed with Kluwe. He has had a few rough games. The coverage teams have generally been good, though they have a rough game against the 49ers.
Passing Efficiency (offense) 38.2% 1st down (8th best), 97.7 Pass rating (8th best)
Offensive Running Game 4.0 yds/carry (15th best), 491 yards (10th best), 4 20+ yard runs (T 5th Best)
Run Defense 3.3 yds/carry (5th best), 1 td (T 2nd best), 341 yards (9th best)
Pass Rush 12 sacks (T 7th best)
Kicking Game (FGs, XPs, and KOs)
Third Down Offense 37% (15th best)
Pass Coverage 6.5 yds/att. (8th best), 5 tds (T 10th best), 913 yards (17th best), 11 20+ yard pass plays (10th best)
Turnover Differential - +1 (13th best)
Return Game
Special Teams Coverage Units
Downfield Passing Offense 6.7 yds/att. (8th worst), 6 20+ yard pass plays (2nd worst),
Linebacker/Short Area Coverage It seems like the Vikings do a great job over the top, but the LBs and CBs have struggled and given up numerous completions underneath. Though that may just be one of the natural flaws with a zone defense.
Interceptions 1 int. (T 2nd worst)
Third Down Defense 43% (8th worst)
Punting Come on Kluwe, get more consistent!

CB Antoine Winfield (Retires)
S Andrew Sendejo
The big question here will be what happens with Kevin Williams and Antoine Winfield. Williams has indicated that he would like to sign a new deal to return to the Vikings, I am just not sold if he means that whole-heartedly. I get the feeling that if he hits the open market, he could look to sign with a team in a better position to contend for a super bowl title. Further, I am not sure that I would be comfortable paying Williams the kind of money he will likely seek. It might not be ideal to spend a lot of money on Williams given that he is a 32 year-old DT, who seems to have lost some of his pass rush ability. I would rather use the money on a player with more upside. I really think this is Winfields last season. With everything that has gone on off the field for him this season, and the fact that he is playing solid on what appears to be a good football team, I think this year would be pretty good timing for Winfield to hang it up.
Free Agent Additions
DT Vaughn Martin | 3 years; $12,000,000
Martin is an interesting player who was born in Jamaica and educated in Canada. Martin was a fairly high profile draft pick not too long ago, measuring at 330 pounds while running an impressive 4.96 forty and benching 44 reps. Martin has since lost about 20 pounds and is still young (we actually have identical birth dates
). Martin has been a reliable run defender as a 5 technique DE and has flashed pass rush potential. I think Martin is a great fit as a UT to replace Kevin Williams. The Chargers have spent recent early picks on DEs Corey Luiget and Kendell Reyes so I am not sure where Martin fits long-term if a team puts together a solid offer.
WR Mohamed Massaquoi | 1 year; $1,500,000
Massaquoi has struggled to stay health and has a bit of a concussion history. I cant imagine there being a substantial market for Massaquoi, so the Vikings take a flier on him, much like they did with Jerome Simpson. Masssaquoi has good size at 6-2 210 pounds and has flashed big play ability in Cleveland, something the Vikings must address this offseason. The expectation is for Massaquoi to compete for the #3 WR job with Greg Childs and whatever WRs are added through the draft.
CB Kelvin Hayden | 1 year; $950,000
Hayden just screams the type of veteran CB the Vikings would be likely to sign. Hayden began his career with the Colts, playing for both Leslie Frazier and Alan Williams. To add, Hayden is the current Bears nickel/dime CB, clearly his experience as a zone CB should be appealing to MN as they look to replace Winfield.
NFL Draft
The Vikings trade its first round pick, 18th overall, for a late first round pick (25) and a third round pick.
The Vikings trade its fourth round pick (via Detroit) and a fifth round pick for a late third round pick.
1 T.J. McDonald | S | USC | via trade
Some may think this pick may be a head scratcher but I am a bit enamored with McDonalds potential at the next level. I actually think he has the potential to be a top 15 pick, though the Safety position tends to get undervalued on draft day. McDonald is a physical player, an instinctive player, who has spent his college career being coached up by Monte Kiffin. McDonald is a playmaker, an enforcer, and a tenacious player and really the ideal type of player you want playing opposite of Harrison Smith. While Raymond has flashed potential as being a steady player, I dont think he will ever be the type of player who will make much of an impact in terms of jarring hits and big time plays.
2 Marquess Wilson | WR | Washington State
Wilson is the Sidney Rice of this years draft. Wilson is rather lanky and needs to put on a good 10-15 pounds and he lacks top end speed, much like Rice. Wilson should be a good down field threat at the next level and has that ideal length for creating separation.
3 Arthur Brown | MLB | Kansas State
Brown is the type of player I want to see added to this defense at MLB. As disclosed in some of the coverage efficiency statistics, the Vikings struggle to get off the field on third down and do give up a lot of underneath passes. The Vikings really need that athletic MLB and Brown is exactly that. While Brown is listed at 230 pounds, I think he has the frame to put on another 10 pounds with ease. Brown has been an excellent player for Kansas State at MLB.

Very sound assessment.
Admititley, I don't know much about Martin outside of him being a big run stuffer in college. If he can get after the QB than I'm up for it.
While safety is not my first choice in the 1st round, but T.J. McDonald would be the best selection for us if we did. I like McDonald for us more than Reid or Amerson. Like you said, McDonald has spent the majority of his career in the Cover 2 and being coached by Monte Kiffin. He is a great all-around player with All-pro potential that would have virtually a seamless transition in our scheme.
Sidney Rice, is a very good comparison for Wilson. However, like Rice he will have a minuscule impact his rookie year. Wilson struggles mightily with seperation and will take awhile to learn the position better. Like Rice, Wilson can pluck the ball out of the air with an absurd catch radius. He also possesses terrific hands and can be counted on to make tough catches. He does ooze with that raw potential that we saw in Rice, it's a great pick if we're fine with waiting for him to develop.

The WR class is a bit lacking, really. Outside of Keenan Allen and Terrance Williams there just arent many notable bigger wideouts who are ready to contribute right away. That would be my concern, though Stephen Hill was off to great a start with the Jets, before he got hurt and he was an extremely raw receiver coming out. WR is such a hard position to judge and frankly, I wouldnt mind putting it off until round 3 if there simply is not a bigger receiver who can step in from day 1.
Vaugh Martin is more of a run stuffer, though i think its going to be really hard for MN to find a pass rushing interior lineman if they dont have an early pick. Kawann Short is someone I like a lot too and considered him over McDonald, but it seems like this draft early on has a lot of bigger body types. I think keeping a strong interior and strong run defense is really key for this defense in being able to play its Safetys back, so I could see the vikes looking for a strong run defense precense if Williams leaves. Abry Jones in round 3 seems to have a lot of good production as a pass rusher, granted he is listed as a DE so he would have to transition inside. I see a potentially good prospect in Jones from a size/athleticism stand point where he has potential as an inside pass rusher.

I disagree. Tennessee WR Justin Hunter is 6-4 200lbs. He will probably a top 20 pick. He has jump ball/red zone ability.
Also former Tennessee WR Da'Rick Rodgers has great speed, and is a great rout running ability. He has some character concerns yes. However, look at Janoris Jenkins. Fell to the second, and is playing lights out on the Rams secondary. If Rodgers keeps his nose clean, I would take a flier on him in the 2nd.
I would also be shocked if Brown fell to the 3ed round. The guy is just a stud in that MLB spot. Reminds me a lot of John Beason.

I wouldnt be shocked to see Hunter as a top 10 pick, that is my anticipation of him as a prospect at this point. Rogers is also an intriguing prospect, though I am no sure he is the type the Spielman and co. would spend an early pick on.
Problem with 4-3 LBs, particularly undersized 4-3 LBs is there is not a lot of demand for them. Brown probably wont get looked at by 3-4 teams and many 4-3 schemes could consider Brown too small to be a MLB. He could be moved to OLB, though he has played largely at MLB. Lavonte David went early last year despite being the same type of prospect, though David was proven as an OLB.

You already know that I like Wilson, and depending on how well Raymond plays in his return McDonald would be a good fit with Smith. Although at 18 I think they will be in a prime spot to look at Te'o, who looks to be a more complete LB this year.
That would give them high end players at every level on the defense: A feared RE, a potentially dominant MLB, an enforcer at the safety spot, and a shut down corner.
Very nice write up, VR!

Both! Again! We take Te'o around 15th and then trade up into the first again for McDonald. I would love McDonald for this team and agree with rpmwr19, he fits Rick's type.

A secondary consisting of Chris Cook, T.J. McDonald, Harrison Smith and Josh Robinson looks phenomenal on paper if they can all pan out. Cook is the oldest of the bunch. Just need to find a long-term nickel solution.

Maybe A.J. will be able to fill that hole. I sure hope so. If so, wow. This unit is going to have a quick turnaround from bad to one tough group!

I wouldn't totally rule out another linemen in the first round. Especially if we end up in that 16-20 range. It is not the sexy pick but Chance Warmack would fill the LG spot and you would have a young talented line that would be able to grow together.

Hunter Hayes Gets Personal at the 2014 iHeartRadio Country Festival!
Listen to Hunter Hayes on iHeartRadio
After rocking to "Wildcard" and showing off his piano chops with "Wanted," Hunter Hayes took it down and got personal with the crowd.
He expressed sincere gratitude towards fans, giving them credit for making his dream of joining the "Country Music Family" come true.
Hunter then dedicated "Invisible," the first single from his upcoming album, to anyone who had ever felt invisible.
"Be yourself; never be afraid of being yourself," urged Hunter.

The national award recognizes faculty members who have distinguished themselves in medical education. It was presented Nov. 6 during the AAMC's annual meeting in Washington.
Stallworth is an associate professor of pediatrics, assistant dean of admissions and director of student recruitment, where he helps shape the school's student body and builds relationships with advisers on undergraduate campuses in the state and region.
USC students can begin and end their School of Medicine careers under Dr. Stallworth's tutelage. In their first year, students find him leading small group learning sessions as part of "Introduction to Clinical Medicine." For third-year students, Stallworth directs the pediatrics clerkship program, as he has for 27 years. And in their last year, they work with Stallworth in his capacity as pediatrics acting intern director.
Stallworth also is medical director of the S.C. Institute for Childhood Obesity and Related Disorders, a collaborative program of the state's four children's hospitals.
