Panasonic Viera TX-P42G10 Freesat HD TV
It was a smart move by Panasonic to time its recent ad campaign to coincide with the French Open and Wimbledon tennis season. Indeed, tennis is certainly the sort of sport that highlights benefits of the company's 600Hz 'intelligent frame creation' technology used in its Viera NeoPDP televisions. Panasonic Viera TX-P42G10 …
Not really 600Hz
I don't think it is really 600Hz. It doesn't do frame interpolation like competitors 100-200Hz models instead it shows the same picture with 10 different levels of brightness. Please check with Panasonic whether it is really an honest 600 different frames per second.
The one I saw actually reintroduced the flicker I haven't seen since 50Hz CRTs. Also the blacks look horribly grey in anything other than complete darkness.
PVR option?
Bought a 32" Panny LCD when my conventional 24" CRT died a couple of years back. I have been very pleased with the set and added a Humax Freesat PVR which is really rather good.
Somehow my 32" Panny seems to have shrunk, it seemed HUGE when I first got it, so I would be in the market for one of these with a built in HDD to enable the recording of TV programs.
Mount a 2.5" HDD caddy on the back and it would open up all sorts of possibilities
Standard Definition not so hot?
You really should review the V10 Plasma. I have the 50" model and its treatment of SD content is quite astonishingly good. Roughly speaking an SD broadcast looks as good as a 576p DVD playback. Set the panel mode to THX and lower the sharpness to nearly zero for best results. Nothing else on the market can touch it except the, now out of production, Kuros from Pioneer. I'm actually very surprised that you don't rate the G10 for SD but I haven't checked one out personally.
And no it's not 600Hz in the interpolated way of the 100Hz and 200Hz technologies that are out there. Instead it displays the same frame up to 12 times per received-frame to eliminate flicker. You get a good steady picture but you don't get the errors that interpolation can lead to.
The V10 series also benefits from a THX certified screen with very accurate colour reproduction and 24p playback over and above the G10's features.
No I don't work for Panasonic but I do love my new screen!
@AC 12:25 - Flicker
I have a V10 (same NeoPDP panel inside), and no, the 600Hz processing doesn't create frames in between and display them, although this is what all the marketing and slow motion tennis adverts suggest.
These panels flicker like crazy, and if you're in any way susceptible to flicker, you'll hate them or worse end up with splitting headaches. Having moved from an LCD to this screen, I was SORELY disappointed. When you can't see the flicker then YES it really is fantastic, but to my mind a product of this caliber and price should deliver a perfect image and the NeoPDPs simply don't.
When off, the panels aren't black, they're a grey/green colour much like an old CRT. In daylight then, this is the darkest shade it can produce which makes images look really washed out. In lower light the contrast obviously improves and they do look impressive. The flickering is also less noticeable in lower light.
If you hook up a PC, you can expect amazing pictures but calibration is impossible since the panel can't actually display certain patterns - making even simple gamma correction impossible since you can't reliably gauge the shades being shown because they flicker like crazy. My best interpretation ended up with a picture that was way too dark.
It's tiresome reading reviews that quite obviously don't do very comprehensive tests, try one representative film, obviously in a dark room, and hail it is a fantastic TV. Reading reviews is no longer a guarantee of an impartial viewpoint or comprehensive test.
600Hz correction
Sorry to be a pain but this needs mentioning,
the reason that it's only the Plasma sets which have a 600 Hz model is due to the reason behind 600Hz, ie Sub Field Decay.
essentially a plasma pixel is unable to kee the same level of brightness for the 1/50 of a second a TV frame is broadcast for. This can be seen on cheap sets as a shimmer on screen.
in order to keep a steady level of brigtness the plasmas use Sub Field refreshing each field 12 times per field (ie 12x50 +600Hz) think of it like stirking a match initially bright then fading often, so the set stikes lots of matches (LCD is like a torch so constant brightness). However it's just the same frame so no creation meaning it won't give a noticable benefit for motion!
It so happens that as it happens so many times a second it's a frequency and can so be called Hz, so a clever marketing company could confuse people to help grow market share.
The best sticker I've seen on a TV was on a Samsung with had "600Hz" massively promotedwith "sub field decay" very small, then below "100Hz" motion mentioned.
gotta love it!
this could be seen to be a conspiracy if it wasn't so obvious!
also I'm a bit shocked that the writers of this review didn't point this out, isn't this exactly the kind of thing ElReg is meant to expose?
With all due respect, we didn't simply copy the waffle off Panasonic's marketing brochures for this review. We spoke to the product manager for the G10 range at Panasonic and our first question was - "what's the point of 600Hz refresh if the original signal only refreshes at 50Hz".....
Panasonic specifically told us that the set does indeed perform some interpolation. Its internal processor generates multiple frames for each frame in the original signal, and then attempts to select the frames that best display the trajectory of fast-moving objects, such as a tennis ball.
So while the image that you see on screen is still only 25 frames per second, some of those frames are Panasonic-interpolated frames. It's possible that they were lying through their teeth, but at the end of the day we did think that it performed well with sports programmes (and less well with bog-standard talking-head SD content due to the relatively poor scaling - a bit of interpolation and upscaling might help there too...).
The motion handling on this set is terrible.
As previously mentioned we have flickering, judder and poor black levels.
Putting 600Hz on the ticket is one of the most cynical marketing gimmicks I have ever seen a company do and all because there are manufacturers out there with 100 and 200Hz actually trying to use this technology to improve a customers experience.
What Panasonic are doing here is nothing more than the good old con trick. They must be thinking 'our customers are so stupid lets feed them this 600Hz marketing spin and make a few bucks out of those who know no better'. I would advise people to really re-consider Panasonic as a brand after this debacle and reviewers would do well to run thorough tests on all manufacturers sets rather than listening to product managers who (unsurprisingly) will say absolutely anything in order to shift their products.
Power consumption?
There is no point in mentioning the price if the cost of running it is ignored. Panasonic claim 200W, so if it were to be switched on 24*7, it would cost about £200 per year to run, with electricity costing a typical 11 pence per unit (kWh). More normal usage might be 4 hours per day, in which case it would cost £33 per year to run. Claimed standby current is only 0.3W, so a negligible 30 pence a year, if you cannot be bothered to switch it off at the mains.
Panasonic have no equivalent LCD device, but the running cost of a Freeview Panasonic 42" TV is nearer £20.
Dim screen
Having just bought a G10 I was very disappointed with the brightness of the screen. I thought it was me until I wired up my previous 5 year old Hitachi Plasma alongside. The G10 was about 30% less bright. What on earth have they done to this set? Mine will be going back.

Continuity isn't kept just for continuity's sakePosted by on December 8, 2012 – 1:15 am
By Vic Carucci, Senior Editor
You've got questions and comments that you submit to the Browns' official Facebook and Twitter pages. Here's what I have to say about what you have to say:
Scott – Hey, Vic, are you in favor of keeping Par Shurmur and Tom Heckert in place just so the team doesn't have to start fresh YET again?
Scott, the decision to retain coaches and/or general managers usually isn't done merely to maintain continuity for the sake of maintaining continuity.
It isn't done because of fear of causing disruption and worrying about the ramifications of hitting the reset button again.
If that decision is made, it will be because the people running the team believe they have the right men in place not just for the balance of the season, but for many years beyond. And if the opposite should happen, it will be because the folks in charge believe their new hires are capable of making the team better right away, without concern over difficulties caused by a transition period.
That is all part of the thorough evaluation process being conducted by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and chief executive officer Joe Banner.
Mike – What do you think of the NFL thinking about eliminating kickoffs in the interest of player safety?
Mike, I'm all in favor of the league's efforts to make the game safer, and it makes perfect sense to place close scrutiny on kickoffs where there are so many full-speed collisions.
However, I'm not so sure I like the idea of making such a radical change to the rules. The concept that league commissioner Roger Goodell mentioned during a recent interview with Time magazine – giving the kicking team a fourth-and-15 situation from its own 30-yard line and having the option to punt or go for it in lieu of an onside kick – sounds pretty radical.
If the commissioner and members of the NFL's Competition Committee and others within the league hierarchy have compelling evidence that strongly supports such changes reducing the possibility of injury, then it might be hard to argue against their implementation.
But I also would like to hear more about the efforts being made to enhance the safety aspects of equipment. Is it possible for more to be done in that area before dramatically altering the way the game is played? And the answer might very well be that greater enhancement of equipment and the elimination of kickoffs are both needed to make the game safer.
It will be fascinating to see how all of this plays out when owners meet in March to discuss, among other topics, rules changes.

I wanted an economical pair of work boots and these fit the bill. Workmanship appears to be OK and materials also. Toughness remains to be seen. The sole treads are very agressive for good traction, which I also needed. I am getting a little tired of helping the Chinese economy and was disappointed to learn they were made there. Next time I will make certain of the manufacturing country before buying.
This was awful. The boot ran small but apart from that, from the top of your foot to the bottom, there is not enough room. THEN, we have to get into the issue of the tongue jabbing into your leg. This was probably THE MOST uncomfortable shoes I have ever had on my feet. Stay far far far away However, as usual with Overstock....the item arrived quickly and I was able to track it. LOVE Overstock....but hated the boot!!!!

Michael Woodburne
Mike was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1937, his father being a Professor of Anatomy at the U of M. In High School, He was introduced to Claude W. Hibbard and started going out into the field in southwestern Kansas. From Hibbie, Mike became interested in herps and actually wrote his first paper on a snake range-extension. As the Hibbard years grew to eight, Mike became geologically oriented as well, and finished his Masters work on Meade Basin geology and paleontology in 1960.
Upon migrating to UC Berkeley and working with R.A. (Stirt) Stirton, Mike was fortunate to be offered a PhD experience in Australia and in 1962 began his field experience there, as well as a life-long friendship with Dick Tedford, then at UC Riverside. Upon graduating from Berkeley, Mike followed Dick to Riverside in 1966 (Dick having taken up digs at the AMNH), and was able to pursue projects on peccaries (begun as a class project with Stirt), more work in Australia (with Bill Clemens and Colin Campbell in the 70s-80s; with Dick, Bruce MacFadden, Mark and Kathleen Springer, and Judd and Jeanne Case in the 80s-now); Mojave Desert biostratigraphies with Dick, Bruce, and others in the 70s-90s; Antarctic mammals in the 80s -90s with W.J. Zinsmeister, Judd Case, Dan Chaney, Pancho Goin, and Barry Albright; hipparion horses with Ray Bernor in the same interval; South American Paleogene mammals in the 80s to now with Judd and Pancho.
In addition to editing two volumes ('87, '04) of Cenozoic Mammals of North America (Don Savage influence there), Mike also served as SVP President in 1988 and began a long membership with the Government Liaison Committee in 1990. He also served as departmental chair for three sessions, with the most recent being in 1998-2003, after his nominal "retirement" in 1994. Mike now is Honorary Curator in Geology at the Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff, where he continues work on chronostratigraphy, Mojave Desert geology, monotremes, marsupials, hipparion and merychippine horses and is delving into the Cenozoic geology and paleontology of the Colorado Plateau.

Frozen Broccoli can't compare to fresh in taste and quality, but the dirty little secret is a pound of frozen broccoli yields about 10 ounces – if you're paying a dollar a package, (and you're probably paying more) that's $1.60 a pound - over 2 1/2 times the cost of fresh and some expensive water!
For years, I've relied on frozen vegetables to help get us through the winter here in Minnesota, and sometimes it seemed as if I'd hardly had a minute to get dinner on the table, let alone a complete dinner. The solution: Microwave a frozen veggie. Broccoli was our number one go to vegetable. The kids ate it and I could make it in minutes. Oh, sure, we had fresh broccoli, too, steamed, stir fried or eaten raw in salads, but frozen broccoli was just such a work horse – it was easily a side or an ingredient in casseroles, etc. I decided to put it to the test!
We've all heard that frozen is harvested at the "Peak of Freshness" and processed, and may even be better for you than fresh. Is it true?
The cost often seemed inexpensive, too. That seems to play out when we consider the cost of fresh. Or does it?
Of all the frozen vegetables, I think broccoli is one of the best tasting. Does it compare to fresh?
I've noticed recently, too, that almost all the brands I've bought frozen don't seem as nice as they used to: They're smaller and more water-logged – how does that affect the quality?
What about time: How much longer does it take to get the fresh on the table?
Frozen & liquid on the left, fresh on the right. I don't think I seriously considered and thought this through before, but the picture above, of one pound frozen and one pound fresh says it all. The liquid in the photo is what I drained from the frozen broccoli. What was more interesting is that when I weighed it out, about 10 ounces of my one pound bag was broccoli, the other 6 ounces, 2/3 of a cup, was water. Way more water than you'd get if you froze your own broccoli. When I weighed the liquid, it came out to just a hair over six ounces. I did not cook it with any additional water, even though the package suggested doing so.
I had always assumed that the weight of the frozen broccoli was exactly one pound, and that the liquid was just extra. As far as nutrition goes, a huge factor in the amount of nutrients your vegetables retain is the amount of water in the cooking process. You can see the water from the frozen is quite green, and was still green even after I strained it to get the weight. I used a bit less than a half cup of water in my broccoli, and discarded it, because without it, I actually still had one pound of broccoli after it was cooked. (Cooking liquid can go in your soups or green smoothies if you make them regularly.)
Hmmm, a pound is a pound the world round, except when you are talking about frozen broccoli, then it's 10 ounces.
As far as which is better, fresh or frozen, there are many arguments on both sides – a lot of which seems to stem from the idea that fresh is subjected to light during the long shipping process which destroys the nutrients and that they are sometimes picked when they are not quite ripe, giving nutrients less time to develop.
I would argue that much of this shipping process is done in boxes and crates and inside trucks and trains, and I've seen enough films of the processing method to know that the to be frozen vegetables are picked when not quite ripe as well. They also lay around in fields, and are trucked to the processing plants where they sit in open trucks and train cars and in giant piles outside. Then they are cooked twice, once in processing and once at home, and nutrients lost in each cooking process.
My instinct says fresh is generally better unless you live in some small, isolated town or an inner city food desert where fresh vegetables are old and scary. The argument about the "Peak of Freshness" just doesn't ring completely true to me, although it sounds great.
The Frozen Food Industry has spent tons of money on studies and advertising to "prove" that frozen is as good as fresh – and all of a sudden a shift has taken place and many consumers now believe frozen is better than fresh, based on very limited information provided and paid for by the frozen food industry.
I would also say, just as the article below does, that eating any vegetable is preferable to none. Read and decide, and weigh the options by the time of year, what's available and the individual vegetable. Here's a site with a little info and discussion about each side of the argument: Eating Well, Where Good Taste meets Good Health.
Here is the cost comparison of the fresh vs. frozen broccoli in December of 2011:
Fresh: 1 pound was $.59 cents.
Frozen: 1 pound bag, yielded 10 ounces, bought on sale with a coupon was 88 cents. This equaled $1.41 per pound.
That pricing difference is a HUGE revelation to me! I had really thought the frozen broccoli was usually less than the fresh. This can vary a bit throughout the year, depending on the sales, the coupons and the produce cost.
How about taste and quality? While I am typing this right now, the broccoli is still sitting on my kitchen table. I have nibbled multiple times on my fresh broccoli, and only tasted one piece of the frozen. Why? I like it better. Period.
How much time did it take, and how did I prepare the broccoli? About 2 minutes to wash and cut, and just a few more to "pan steam." That's putting a small amount of water in the bottom, then adding your stems. Drop the florets on top, cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until desired doneness is reached, generally about 4- 5 minutes for pieces, 5 – 7 minutes if you'd like to cook spears.
By the way, the frozen recommended four to eight minutes in the microwave. I cooked the package in the photo for four.
First, cut off florets leaving a bit of the stem so they stay intact. Then divide those with the point of your knife by cutting from what would be the bottom end of the floret. They'll separate out into beautiful pieces.
Next, take the top part of the stalk and cut it into about 1/4 inch slices. I like to cut them at an angle, so they look pretty, stay intact and cook evenly.
Take the stalk and shave off a bit of the hardened outside edge. You could use a peeler for this, but it only takes a few seconds with a knife. This helps it cook evenly, and frankly, I think it tastes a little better. I slice those stalks into 1/4 inch pieces, too. I save those peelings for my green smoothies.
In about two minutes, you'll have this:
Final Frugal Judgement:
There's no need to subject yourself to frozen broccoli unless you're in a super time crunch and literally can't take the extra 2 minutes to make fresh! The numbers don't support it: Frozen costs more!
Personally, I'll go for the fresh. Date: December '11

Posted by Dale Buss on August 30, 2011 12:00 PM
The great hurricane of last weekend has left a mess in its wake. We're not talking about Irene -- this is all about the media coverage of the storm as Irene pulled a veni, vidi, vici act that was unparalleled in the annals of weather examination. And the mess it left? An unresolvable controversy over whether the hurricane coverage was all too much, or whether you never can have enough.
George Will dubbed it "synthetic hysteria," and Howard Kurtz of The Daily Beast made no bones. "Someone has to say it: cable news was utterly swept away by the notion that Irene would turn out to be Armageddon," Kurtz concluded. The Washington Post's former media critic wrote that "the tsunami of hype on this story was relentless, a Category 5 performance that was driven in large measure by ratings" because TV producers were afraid to switch away from 24x7 coverage of Irene. "Does anyone seriously believe the hurricane would have drawn the same level of coverage if it had been bearing down on, say, Ft. Lauderdale?" Continue reading...

A short little boy with a Jew-fro, who is related to an illegal mexican. He likes feeling little white balls of fluff whom he calls "chloe" and also likes touching the penises of other men for pleasure. He even enjoys the sweet taste of baby blood and man jizz. Sadly, a decker is also unable to "choke the chicken".
Dude! Look at that curly headed fuck!

Decker literally means perfection in every way. Decker is a God among men, an example for how all men should be. A Decker doesn't let people inside this precious heart of his, but if you are fortunate enough to be invited inside, you'll be amazed at the awe-inspiring beauty you find there. You can only be left feeling unworthy of such a gift. A Decker's love is unconditional and all-encompassing. A Decker is so sexy just the thought of him makes your body tingle everywhere. A Decker will charm you with his endless talents, humor and intellect. But his words...a Decker will seduce you with his words, sending your mind whirling, dreaming of things you never thought possible. Perhaps the most unbelievable thing about a Decker is that he is completely unaware of his powers. Once a Decker turns his attentions towards you, forget about breathing. A Decker will become your oxygen, your world, your everything. You won't be able to control your relentless obsessive thoughts about him. All five senses will become tuned to a Decker. All you see, hear, smell...everything in your life leads back to Decker.
I hope you encounter a Decker in your lifetime as he is a true gift to be treasured.

Yorkshire born and raised, I grew up in east Leeds, not far from the mesmerising vista at Temple Newsam. It was in these surroundings that as a little boy I developed a passion to write. I took every chance, writing anything imaginative and fanciful that danced onto my notepaper: usually stories and mock newspaper front pages (usually about Leeds United winning the Champions League).
I first moved away to read English Literature at St Catherine's College, Oxford University. I became Features Editor of The Oxford Student, a weekly 44-page paper with a distribution of 18,000 copies across the entire university. I was made a finalist in the prestigious GQ magazine Norman Mailer student writing contest. It was also at Oxford that I had the chance to travel to China, where I worked with a magazine based in Beijing -- one of my first experiences in a new location telling the stories of all kinds of people.
After I graduated in 2011 I began writing stories for newspapers and magazines all over the country and the world. My news features have been published in The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, Yorkshire Post, The Huffington Post, and more. Over the last year I have spent time working amid the volcanic sands of Iceland, the blazing heat of Greece, but I've come back to Leeds to work on something new which I hope will change the way we see ourselves in my hometown...
I have long had a particular passion for broadcasting: the power of a single compelling image is mesmeric. In truth it started a long time ago: when I was 12, I was a Press Packer on CBBC Newsround, interviewing Gordon Brown about money for schools at 11 Downing Street. Since returning home to Leeds I have become passionate about the opportunities for news and programming on local television, and I'm proud to be part of the team at MADE in Leeds TV, the city's new local television station coming soon.
And that's my life so far in four short paragraphs... If you want to get in touch about any story or project of mine, I'm always just an e-mail away!

The SaskTel store at the Estevan Shoppers' Mall celebrated its grand reopening on February 22.
There were draws, in-store specials and refreshments to mark the occasion.
Store manager Armanda Piechotta said the new store has the same products as they did previously, but there is a better layout, as well as live interactive touch screens and new walls with mobile phones.
There is also a dedicated space for customer information sessions.
It also has interior and exterior entrances, and Piechotta said that has received a favourable response from the public.
Renovations to the SaskTel store started last summer. The new-look store has been open for about three months.

Are You Seeing Color? Of course you are, color is everywhere. But, as a photographer, are you "really" seeing color and using it effectively as a compositional element in your work?
…color is like dynamite – dangerous, unless you know how to use it. – Anonymous – editors of Esquire magazine, on photographs by Anton Bruehl, 1000 Photo Icons by Anthony Bannon (Foreword), George Eastman House , ISBN: 3822820970 , Page: 566
If we choose to work in color, then color is something that deserves our study and deliberate attention.
Are you photographing the color "reflecting off " of something or are you photographing the color "falling on" something?
Color is very much about atmosphere and emotion and the feel of a place. – Alex Webb
This hands-on, three-hour workshop is an in depth examination of color as a characteristic of light and using color as a powerful element of photographic composition.
In my photography, color and composition are inseparable. I see in color. – William Albert Allard, Photographic Essay (American Photographer Master Series) by William Albert Allard
The difficulty with color is to go beyond the fact that it's color – to have it be not just a colorful picture but really be a picture about something. It's difficult. So often color gets caught up in color, and it becomes merly decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] brilliantly to make visual statements combining color and content; otherwise it is empty. – Mary Ellen Mark, Mary Ellen Mark : 25 Years by Marianne Fulton , ISBN: 0821218387 , Page: 5

Wants to take its platform from brands to regular 'civilians'.
Chirpify has only been around a few months, but its proposition is wildly simple and has mouth-watering potential.
Essentially, it turns Tweets into transactions, enabling consumers to buy stuff using simple commands such as "buy", "pay" and "donate".
So far, the firm has attracted the attention of bigger brands. But it recognises the value of its platform to individuals - musicians, craftspeople - who might have a product or service to sell.
Here's how it works: The digital item is uploaded using the Chirpify user's dashboard. A tweet is sent out with instructions on how to buy the item. This could be a simple as a rewet using the word 'buy'. This action deducts the amount from a linked PayPal account and returns a secure buy link.
Non-members who click buy are sent a tweet inviting them to sign up.
"Twitter is a tremendous platform for brands, retailers, politicians, musicians and others to engage fans, yet with more than 140 million users there's still no way to directly exchange goods and currency," said investor and HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes.
"Chirpify provides a unique approach to fill this void by processing transactions without ever having to leave Twitter."
The firm collects a two per cent fee on top of the PayPal fees. For its commerce plans, the company charges a two per cent fee on its free service tier and takes no fees on its paid, enterprise-level service.
The new series A financing came from Voyager Capital, Geoff Entress, BuddyTV CEO Andy Liu, Rudy Gadre, HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes, and TiE Oregon Angels.

-Joes's pov-
joe walked into his room after taking a hot shower, he then noticed his younger sister by 2 years was in his room just wandering
"Demi?" he asked "that's my name" his little sister said still looking on his shelves "what are you doing?" he asked "Joe you have a lot of pornos...that's weird." she said not answering his question. His eyes widened.
She went to grab one right before he slapped her hand." Dems don't touch them" he said giving her an annoyed look.
Demi put her hands up in defense "gosh chill out dude, didn't mean to almost touch your prized possessions" "they aren't my prized possessions" Joe said with his cheeks getting warm "ohh right everyone I know just put porn on shelves and dust them every day and.." looks at his porn collection "puts the thing in alphabetical order" demi said with a fake smile and rolls her eyes
"shut up, what are you in my room for?" Joe said repeating his question "I'm bored." Demi said simply "wtf! Get out" Joe said "no I'm bored" she said again "go in nicks room!" he said getting annoyed "I did" she said looking in his playboy magazines'
"when?" he said snatching the magazines'. Demi gave him a rude look "please don't snatch" she said as if it was her stuff "I went in there before you took a shower. He has weird stuff in that room" she grabbed the magazine and opened it.
"demi why are invading my privacy" he asked "because I very much enjoy it" she said still looking at his magazines" Joe do you jag off to these...cuz that would totally creep me out." "Yes, yes I do" he said smirking.

- Description
- Reviews
This beauty is fashioned similarly to the Pinot Grigio we featured several years ago. The only difference is that it's better. Still from the Columbia Valley in Washington, this vintage seems more vibrant and with more detailed fruit than the last one.
Peralta got the grapes from Airfield Wine Estates in Prosser, Washington. Airfield Estates uses exclusively 100% estate grown fruit. The first vines were planted in 1968 by Don Miller. Today, the estate vineyard spans over 860 acres and includes 27 different varieties.
The vineyard is located at the foot of the Rattlesnake Mountains in the Yakima Valley. All of the vineyard blocks are situated within a 3 mile radius of the original WWII airbase. Within this range, there is a considerable amount of diversity of soil and microclimatic conditions. To maximize quality, they carefully match grape varietals to the most suitable sites.
The interaction of the geographic, climatic and environmental conditions in conjunction with the vineyard management directly affects the quality and personality of their wine. The Airfield Estates Vineyard is located in the heart of the Yakima Valley. The valley is located in the South-Central portion of the state and is approximately equidistant from Seattle, Portland and Spokane. It sits on the same parallel as the famous Bordeaux region of France and some of its vineyards are amongst the best in the state. In total, there are over 11,000 acres of vineyards in the Yakima Valley making Yakima Valley the largest producer of wine grapes in Washington State.
Today, the 2nd generation of Miller's are in charge of the winery and vineyards. Most of their grapes are contracted to other wineries, like Peralta, but they treat each batch as if it were their own. The grapes were sourced from multiple vineyard sites on the property to bring in specific aromas and flavors that each site offers. Layered aromas of kiwi and grapefruit, accented with an herbal note and hints of anise and spice, mingle with the luscious guava flavors on a bright palate with good acidity. An excellent aperitif and accompaniment to a wide array of foods; enjoy with chicken, shellfish and pasta with cream sauces or just relax on a summer evening and have it all by itself.

The state of stock tables in business pages
Stock market tables in daily newspapers began shrinking more than a decade ago. In 2007, about two-thirds of the nation's 1,400 daily newspapers still print some form of stock market tables, but virtually none print anything close to a full list of stock results.
This research by the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism studied a variety of stock market table characteristics, including the number of pages devoted to tables in daily newspapers. The research found that about one-third of small-circulation daily newspapers print no stock market tables, not even a summary of the day's market activity. In contrast, large newspapers (daily circulation of 100,000 or more) are more generous than the smaller ones in their printing of stock tables. Still, less than one-third of the large papers print less than a full page of stock tables and only one in five devote as much as two pages to stock tables.
The two-part study consisted of a content analysis of 122 newspaper business sections and an online survey of large newspaper business editors. Research was conducted by Stephen Doig, the Knight Chair at Arizona State University's Cronkite School of Journalism, working in conjunction with the Reynolds Center staff.
Other content findings:
• Thirty-four percent of all business sections analyzed did not offer any stock market tables. Nearly all were small-circulation papers. In contrast, all but one all of large newspapers analyzed offered stock tables of some sort.
• The average amount of space devoted by all papers to financial stock tables today is a bit more than one-third of a page. Among the big papers, the average is a page and a half.
• Of those that do offer stock listings, the most common table is "local interest stocks."
• The potential news hole created by cutting back or eliminating stock listings has not meant increased space for other business news. About three-quarters of U.S. newspapers today offer just one page – or less – of business news. Even among the big papers, two-thirds offer business sections of six or fewer pages, which often include at least one full-page ad.
• Only about one out of every eight daily papers in the country puts business news in its own section with a section front. By contrast, almost all of the big papers run separate business sections.
The survey of editors found that:
• About three-fourths of the editors reported that their newspapers had "cut back considerably" in recent years on the depth and breadth of the stock market tables they published.
• However, most also said that the savings in space wasn't used to enhance business coverage. Four out of every five respondents said that either there was no increase in editorial space or cuts were made to space and/or staff.

United's senior Academy side remain undefeated this season after crushing Stoke City 4-0 on Saturday.
Two goals from Nicky Ajose and one apiece from Chris Curran and Federico Macheda clinched victory against a Stoke side who rarely threatened the Reds' goal.
Ajose opened the scoring when he latched onto Oliver Norwood's clever pass and finished calmly past the advancing goalkeeper. He then made it 2-0 moments later from the edge of the box with a sublime curling shot on the turn.
Curran added a third shortly before half-time when he cut in from the right wing before firing back across goal into the bottom corner. The Reds' fourth came via Italian striker Federico Macheda, who squeezed his shot past the Stoke keeper from a tight angle.
Paul McGuinness' side now have 11 points from five games and will face Crewe Alexandra next on Saturday 4 October.
