Blowing the Horn...


began
as
the
team
entered
via
the
Viking
ship.


"Show
Your
Horns"
is the
team motto.

Fans sitting ahead of us followed suit.






The Viking gjallarhorn blew again and again for plays like this one ----

the team's third of four game touchdowns as well as one field goal.




Flag flyers (below), a drum corp, kid suiting-up races, trivia games for home-on-leave military members, "Angie" of the Game drawing, junior high football exhibitions and many more activities filled any gap time between plays.

As novice attenders, we learned coming to a Vikings game compares to a multi-ring circus show.

Thanks to an older couple (from our church) who sat next to me, I was able to use their binoculars


to spot the Vikings' new Star of the Show.

They told me the team's starters were on the sidelines

dressed in gray t-shirts and black pants. She advised, "Look for the one with the white hat. We believe that's him!"


And so I caught this glimpse of the Vikings latest "piece of the puzzle" -- much-sought-after, come-out-of-retirement-again -- quarterback
BRETT FARVE!


May I now Blow the Horn and bid: "Hello" to all my Packers-fan friends!
Uffda...of the true Norwegian sort.

It is in this context that various manufacturers replica watches started exploring how to achieve watches that could resist such fields. IWC was the first to release a widely available rolex replica sale watch resistant to magnetic fields with its aptly named Ingénieur model. Not to be outdone, in that same time-frame, Rolex also released its own magnetic-resistant watch: the Rolex Milgauss (from the French "mille" and Gauss, thus resistant to 1000 Gauss). James Stacey swiss replica watches recently covered a set of newly announced Ingénieur pieces by IWC, to be released in 2013: the year of the Ingénieur for IWC. The basic innovation in both the Rolex Milgauss and the IWC Ingénieur and other such watches is the use of a Faraday replica watches uk cage that encloses the movement. Similar to how being inside an airplane protects you from the effects of replica watches lightning, a Faraday cage (ferromagnetic enclosure) around the movement will divert a current or magnetic field and shield and protect the entire movement, including the balance wheel and rolex replica sale its hairspring.
