Chateau St. Jean Sonoma County Chardonnay 2010
Chardonnay from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Inviting aromas of stone and tropical notes begin the nose on this classic Sonoma Chardonnay. Well balanced and elegant, this wine has a clean, refreshing finish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2010 Chardonnay is a fabulous wine for the money. There is nothing fancy here, just a beautiful wine with excellent varietal character and terrific balance. Hints of lemon, flowers and spices linger on the pointed finish. The Robert Young vineyard in Alexander Valley is at the heart of this county-wide blend. Once again, the level of quality is remarkable considering the production of a whopping 350,000 cases."
Chateau St. Jean Winery
Chateau St. Jean is a winemaking estate located at the foot of the Sugarloaf Ridge in Sonoma Valley near Kenwood, California. Founded in 1973, Chateau St. Jean has long been recognized as a leader in Vineyard Designated wines. Winemaker Steve Reeder has built a reputation for making wines of power and elegance. With over 20 years of vineyard and winemaking experience, his knowledge of Sonoma makes him a master in highlighting the best of each vineyard. Chateau St. Jean was the first Sonoma winery to be awarded the prestigious "Wine of the Year" award from Wine Spectator for its 1996 Cinq Cepages Cabernet Sauvignon, a Bordeaux-style blend of "five varieties."

View a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable Facts
The largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide

Unaccompanied child at Lackland diagnosed with swine flu
SAN ANTONIO - An unaccompanied child being cared for at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland has been diagnosed with swine flu, according the San Antonio Metro Health District.
Another online media outlet, The Blaze, first reported the case of H1N1 at the base, quoting Rep. Louie Gohmert as saying the child was "feverish for several days."
According to the article, about 2,000 vaccines are being sent to Lackland to treat anyone who may have been exposed to the child.
A spokeswoman for S.A. Metro Health says the military reported the case to the health agency, but Metro Health is not involved with any treatment or vaccination efforts.
A spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control says the agency is in discussions with the State of Texas and the Department of Defense about whether to vaccinate other children who may have been exposed.
The Department of Health and Human Services runs the unaccompanied children facilities at Lackland.

Injured Wales back-row Ryan Jones to miss Argentina clash
- Venue: Millennium Stadium Cardiff
- Date: Saturday, 10 November
- Kick-off: 14:30 GMT
Coverage: Live on BBC One Wales & online; live on S4C; live commentary on BBC Radio Wales & online; live commentary on Radio Cymru
Ryan Jones has been ruled out of Wales' opening autumn international clash with Argentina at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday with a shoulder injury.
But the Ospreys back-rower is expected to recover in time for the visit of Samoa on 16 November.
Jones returned home from Wales training in Poland to have a scan on the shoulder.
The Wales medical staff have decided Jones needs to rest the injury in order to fully recover.
Jones picked up the injury before flying out to Spala for the Wales squad's training camp ahead of the autumn internationals.
"We took the decision out in Poland, we were aware Ryan had a niggle with his shoulder coming out to Poland so we thought it would be wise to get in there early and investigate if it was anything serious," said Wales assistant coach Robin McBryde.
"Happily enough that isn't the case, but it is a case of doing quite a bit of rehab work for the remainder of this week in order for him to be fit for next week's match against Samoa, which is positive news."
Wales are already without key flanker Dan Lydiate for the series against Argentina, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia.
Jones did not take part in any contact sessions in Poland, with his involvement limited to exercises in the swimming pool.
With Six Nations man-of-the-tournament Lydiate already ruled out with a broken ankle, Jones was likely to be first choice on the blind-side for the autumn series.
The Wales team management, who are due to name their team to face the Pumas on Tuesday at 13:00 GMT, have so far not called up any back-row cover.
Wales' autumn series
- Argentina (10 Nov, 14:30 GMT)
- Samoa (16 Nov, 19:30 GMT)
- New Zealand (24 Nov, 17:15 GMT)
- Australia (1 Dec, 14:30 GMT)
*All matches at Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
Wales already have front-row problems with tight-head Adam Jones ruled out after suffering a recurrence of a knee injury in Ospreys' Heineken Cup defeat away to Leicester.
His absence may give Ospreys colleague Aaron Jarvis a chance to make his Wales debut while teenage Scarlets prop Samson Lee has been called up as cover.
Blues youngster Scott Andrews is the other specialist alternative.
Bath prop Paul James, however, could move across from loose-head but Wales under-20 international Lee has won a call after just seven regional appearances for the Scarlets.
Toulon's Gethin Jenkins has also played at tight-head, but is acknowledged as a specialist on the other side of the scrum.
Wales' options at number three have also been reduced by Exeter tight-head Craig Mitchell's bicep injury and versatile Scarlets youngster Rhodri Jones' shoulder injury.
A Wales statement said Adam Jones will not play again for anything between six and 10 weeks, which could rule him out until the new year.
Scrum V pundit and former Wales captain Kingsley Jones said Adam Jones' absence is a "bad blow" to Wales' autumn hopes.
"It's a massive loss - a real bad blow for Wales and their chances in the autumn," he said.
"If you had one player you wouldn't want to have injured at the moment for Wales it would be Adam Jones.
"It's the same with any team and any country. Your tight-head prop is so valuable.
"There's a lot of experience missed in Adam and don't forget, we need more than two tight-head props.
"We've got four big games coming up. Paul James has played on the tight-head. Surely that's got to be a consideration."
Wales caretaker coach Rob Howley has named a 35-man Wales squad for the series that starts against the Pumas, before Wales face Samoa, New Zealand and Australia.
Wales squad for autumn Tests:
Backs: L Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues), Liam Williams (Scarlets); A Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues), G North (Scarlets), H Robinson (Cardiff Blues); A Beck (Ospreys), J Davies (Scarlets), J Roberts (Cardiff Blues), S Williams (Scarlets); D Biggar (Ospreys), J Hook (Perpignan), R Priestland (Scarlets); T Knoyle (Scarlets), M Phillips (Bayonne), Lloyd Williams (Cardiff Blues).
Forwards: S Andrews (Cardiff Blues), R Bevington (Ospreys), P James (Bath), A Jarvis (Ospreys), G Jenkins (Toulon), S Lee (Scarlets); R Hibbard (Ospreys), K Owens (Scarlets), M Rees (Scarlets); B Davies (Cardiff Blues), L Charteris (Perpignan), I Evans (Ospreys), AW Jones (Ospreys); T Faletau (Newport Gwent Dragons), R Jones (Ospreys), R McCusker (Scarlets), A Shingler (Scarlets), J Tipuric (Ospreys), J Turnbull (Scarlets), S Warburton (Cardiff Blues, capt).

28th October 2012 - 18:33shame Craig Mitchell is also injured as for me he is wales starting prop at 2015 world cup, hes done well in the AP. Craig and Sammy lee are both better ball carriers and do more in the loose. think Sam lee and Nathan buck should be there, Jarvis hasn't scrummed well and isn't welsh so don't know why hes been called up. need to get used to life without Adam Jones sooner or later though

27th October 2012 - 17:06A big loss to the Welsh team for the Autumn tests, but it just highlights the primary area Wales are without depth - over the last couple of seasons we've seen some cracking players come through in other positions, but no specialist tighthead that's provided consistent cover for the legend that is Adam Jones. This season there a few young fellas that deserve their chance to show their mettle!

27th October 2012 - 16:11That told us Fist, puff your chest out young man, you deserve it. Maybe post another message to JayJay for an email address? I sense some romance could be on the horizon.
Anyway back to the thread at hand: Paul James is still pretty solid, and as a few peeps have already mentioned, a potential opportunity to develop Samson Lee, not quite the end of the world... -

27th October 2012 - 15:43Well done to Jayjay for mentioning England on a Wales thread. You know that's like a red rag to these people.

27th October 2012 - 15:32Adam is a loss, But we have to blood the development players during the autum internationals, In truth we would have struggled in the srcum against Argentina & NZ even with Adam....so lets get some youngsters in to blood them now
The 6 nations & lions tour are more important to us Welsh & British fans for 2013 and Adam will be needed then.

New Life, New Naga PrologueHave you ever heard of a creature call Naga? It's a large snake with arms like that of a human being. Some have the head of a cobra; others have a head of a python. They can be 15 to 20 feet long from head to tail. The ones with a cobra head are venomous while other kinds are not. Their scales are extremely tough; even bullets can hardly penetrate them. They are also extremely strong; strong enough to kill three people with one squeeze of their coils. Some people believe they are just monsters. Evil creatures that just want to come out to swallow people whole. I don't believe that all of them are like that. How do I know? I am one. This is the story on how I became a Naga and now live as one.My name is Sarah and it all started the day that I decided to attend a girl scout trip with my friends. I was packing my stuff so I'd be ready to go on the outing. The trip was to be for three days. I was very excited because we wer
My Dragon Family PrologueIt was close to sunset as two siblings, brother and sister were walking home. The sister is named Jessica and she is 17 years old. Her younger brother is named Kyle and he is 10. Kyle is complaining to his sister, "Why do they have to tease me about this bracelet?"In their family, they had a tradition to make a bracelet of crystal beads worn when a child turned 10 years of age. The beads were of various favorite colors of each family member. Kyle was being teased by schoolmates since he had begun wearing his. "Well, Kyle, it's our family tradition. Don't let their teasing brother you." The tradition had a story behind it. Their grandfather had wanted sons to share his passion for hunting and carving. However grandmother only bore him one child and that was their mother. He didn't know what to do with a daughter though he loved her so. One day grandmother suggested that they take up mak
Life As A Dragoness Ch 4The morning sun awoke me as it shone in my bedroom window. Squinting my eyes against the light, I stretched like a cat waking up from a nap. I could only sleep on the floor with a blanket because of my size. I got up and tried to open the door with my dragon claw slipping on the knob. I got it open and walked as carefully as a still sleepy dragoness could. My parents were at the dining table eating breakfast and talking in low tones apparently not to wake me. I overheard them discussing the dilemma of how to negotiate a day with a dragon in the house. They were startled as I came in. Dad asked, How did you sleep last night? I slept fine but I had a strange vision. I dreamed that I was flying in the night sky and a red dragon with yellow glowing eyes flew right by me and into the night. It awoke me but when I went back to sleep, I kept dreaming the same vision over an
Life As A Dragoness Ch 3I was hearing voices as I was regaining consciousness. It was my mom and dad. I opened my eyes and they were talking about me. They were still freaked out about my transformation as a dragoness. I was still just inside the door where my change had begun. "Mom, Dad: I'm okay. Wow, I just touched the stone and I can't believe that just happened." I looked myself over seeing my blue scales and purple stripes. My parents were just dumb founded as I spoke. My mom was the first to speak saying, "Sarah, is that you?""Yes, it's me." I answered. "This is just as shocking to me as it is to you." As I spoke, I noticed how my voice had changed. It was clearer and more precise. I liked my new voice. In my new form, I tried to stand up. I found that I was taller than before as I looked down on my parents.

I've been trying to find a high efficiency machine that allows for some manual adjustment of water levels, but all I've been able to find so far is the GE Profile WPRE6150 & WPRE8150.
Does anyone know of any other HE washing machines that allow the user to manually select the water levels? I love automatic water levels for all our needs except cloth diapers. When washing diapers, I want to be able to do a manual override of the auto-sensing water levels, so that I can add more water for rinsing detergent & urea residue out of the diapers. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
The Infusor agitator on the two GE models you cite is similar to the impeller/washplate of the Oasis/Cabrio/Bravos, AquaSmart, and Harmony, but has a short centerpost (which may help reduce tangling). I suspect that the highest fill is no more than to top of the Infusor post ... which may be about the same as what the Oasis/Cabrio/Bravos do on a Bulky cycle. However, both models do provide for manual control of the water level (in addition to a choice for automatic sensing), so you could run a moderate-size load of diapers on the highest fill and probably meet your needs for water and rinsing. |
Dadoes, doesn't one (or more) of the F&P allow a full tub water fill? Sort of a combination HE and non-he in one? |
All F&P agitator models (EcoSmart and Intuitive Eco) are deep-fill machines with five water levels selected either manually or by auto-sensing. They're EnergyStar, but not considered HE. The AquaSmart models (which are cousins to the Oasis/Cabrio/Bravos) are HE machines, and offer an option for deep-fill (but still auto-sensed, I believe) on several cycles. |
dadoes and cynic, thank you so much! I am unbelievably impressed by how much you two know. I'm going to look into the GE and F&P models right now. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks again for all your help!!! :) |

Miele will allow a Miele Technician to add Water Plus to the wash cycles and the Rinse Cycles. We just had it done to our new Miele W4840 washer...and I LOVE it. The clothes are cleaner, and much better rinsed! |
newmama, if you buy a Bravos washing machine, it will have a 5 cu ft capacity (largest on the market), and the Bulky cycle will completely submerge the diapers in water. Other cycles don't use as much water. I would definitely recommend that you get the internal water heater for washing diapers. |

Japan nuclear crisis: Will radioactive food reach US supermarkets?
Worry not. While Japan has banned the sale of some produce from the area near the reactors, similar contamination is highly unlikely in the US, as is the import of tainted Japanese food.
Shinnosuke Ito/Asahi Shimbun/AP
Japanese authorities say they have found radiation-tainted spinach and raw milk near the Fukushima nuclear plant. As a result they have banned the sale of leafy vegetables and milk from the surrounding countryside. That sounds like a serious situation. Is there any chance that foodstuffs in America will be tainted by radioactivity?
No, they probably will not. Any plume of radioactivity from the devastated plant would be so diluted by the time it reaches the United States that it would have no discernable effect on West Coast vegetables. Wind and rain would essentially mix any such emissions into the vast volume of the atmosphere of the Northern Hemisphere, according to Tom McKone, a senior staff scientist and health-risk exposure expert at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
"The level of dilution over the Pacific Ocean reduces concentrations by a factor of billions before reaching the US," writes Dr. McKone in an analysis of the situation published Tuesday.

The fact that MAVS is located within the membrane of the mitochondrion makes sense for a couple of reasons, Dr. Chen said.
First, proteins housed within the mitochondria have been shown by researchers, such as UT Southwestern biochemist Dr. Xiaodong Wang and others, to play a role in apoptosis, or programmed cell death. The fact that MAVS is located in the membrane of mitochondria suggests it may play a role in coordinating cell death and immune response, Dr. Chen said.
Secondly, many scientists believe that mitochondria originally evolved from bacteria that lived within a host organism's cells, eventually developing a symbiotic relationship with host cells. Now that mitochondria are an integral part of our cells, Dr. Chen speculated that mitochondria may have acquired new functions by serving as a sentinel to detect invading pathogens and other stressful signals, ensuring that the host cells survive and thrive even in adverse environments.
Dr. Chen and his research group are currently working to determine how the MAVS protein functions within the complex series of biochemical reactions that takes place when the body is infected with a virus.
Researchers at UT Southwestern, led by microbiologist Dr. Michael Gale, and elsewhere have previously found that when an RNA virus invades a cell, a protein called RIG-I first intercepts the virus and binds to viral genetic material. That interaction starts a cascade of biochemical reactions that eventually triggers the cell to make a protein called interferon, which in turn fights off the virus.
But the chain of events between RIG-I's encounter with the virus and the interferon response i

The final big special-teams play of the Patriots' regular season came from LeGarrette Blount.
Right after the Bills scored a touchdown to draw within a touchdown with 10:20 remaining last Sunday, Blount returned a kickoff 62 yards to set up a field goal that again made it a two-score game.
In a season full of solid special-teams play, it was ironic that Blount -- who had people shaking their heads as he kept trotting out to return kicks early in the season -- had the last big return. It was a capstone. Really, Sunday was a capstone day for the special teams in general.
Between Blount's two big kickoff returns, there were four field goals from Stephen Gostkowski that went off without a hitch. And in the chilly, day-long downpour, that was no small feat. Ryan Allen, the rookie punter who stepped in for Zoltan Mesko, got all those snaps down and punted effectively again. Julian Edelman, although he muffed a punt, completed an outstanding season as the returner. And the Patriots' kick-coverage teams allowed just 7.8 yards on punt returns and 20.8 yards on kickoff returns. The Patriots were 11th and 12th in the NFL in punt and kickoff return average. They were ninth and sixth in covering punts and kickoffs. Those hidden yards add up.
Tack on the critical special-teams plays made -- the recovered onside kick by Stephen Gostkowski against Cleveland, all the clutch kicks he made, and the punt coverage team that unnerved Wes Welker -- and this was one of the best special-teams seasons the Patriots have had in some time.
"I think Scott [O'Brien] and Joe Judge, our two special-teams coaches, have both worked extremely hard and diligently from the very beginning of the season, all the way back to our offseason workouts and OTAs and training camp and all through the year on the kicking game," Bill Belichick said Tuesday. "Whether it be individual techniques with the specialists or other players on those units to schemes and coordination of things that [we] needed to execute in the kicking game, whether it's double team blocks or the wedge in the returners or the vice on punt return or punt protection, whatever it happens to be. We've just continued to try to work on those things throughout the course of the year.
"We've had several different kickoff returners," Belichick acknowledged. "We tried to start with Leon Washington and that really never materialized the way that we thought that it might. Then [we used] a number of other players, because [Washington] really was never able to do that for us. I think that the hard work and the perseverance of all those guys -- Joe, Scott, and the core special-teams players, the specialists – it's paid off throughout the year in different areas. We've certainly seen it the last few weeks with big plays in many different areas of the kicking game; contributions of field position and points and turnovers and onside kicks. It's just situational plays. You never know when some of those situational plays are going to happen but being able to execute them at critical times, like in the Cleveland game, it's vital to being able to win in those situations. The field position that the kicking game can provide for us, whether it be for the defense or the offense is again, so critical to that unit's success. It's all tied in there together."
We don't need to revisit all the special-teams plays in NFL playoff history that have made a difference between championships and going home. Hard to imagine any team's had more climactic ones than the Patriots, good (Snow Bowl, 2001 AFC Championship, 2003 Super Bowl) and not-so-good (2010 failed fake punt vs. the Jets). There's no guarantee a key play will occur in the kicking game this postseason. But there's a likelihood it will.

Aaron Rodgers wins NFL Most Valuable Player
For the second time, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the Most Valuable Player of the National Football League.
Rodgers was announced as 2014 league MVP as the culmination of tonight's NFL Honors event in Phoenix. Rodgers had previously won the award for the 2011 season.
It's no surprise that the award went to Rodgers, who had a phenomenal statistical season: Rodgers completed 341 of 520 passes for 4,381 yards, with an incredible touchdown-interception ratio: He finished the year with 38 touchdown passes and just five interceptions.
Rodgers got 31 MVP votes. J.J. Watt was second with 13 MVP votes. DeMarco Murray and Tony Romo each had two votes, while Tom Brady and (in a major surprise) Bobby Wagner each had one.
The postseason ended in disappointment for Rodgers, who saw his Packers blow a big lead in the NFC Championship Game and lose to the Seahawks. But in the regular season, Rodgers was the best player in football. He was recognized for that tonight.
Gronk wins comeback player of the year award
After shaking off a major knee injury to establish himself as the best tight end in the NFL, New England's Rob Gronkowski has been named the comeback player of the year.
Gronk, who was a unanimous All-Pro, was given the award at tonight's NFL Honors event in Phoenix. Members of the Gronkowski family picked up the award for Rob, the most successful of the many athletes in the family, as Rob is at the Patriots' team hotel getting ready for the Super Bowl.
Of the 50 voters for the NFL awards, 27 picked Gronkowski. In second place were Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin and Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain with seven votes each, followed by Broncos cornerback Chris Harris with three votes, Ravens running back Justin Forsett and Texans running back Arian Foster with two votes, and Cardinals linebacker Larry Foote and Bills quarterback Kyle Orton with one vote each.
Thomas Davis named NFL Man of the Year
Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis, whose foundation helps underprivileged children, has been named the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year — the only award that recognizes players for their community service as well as their playing ability.
Davis received the award at tonight's NFL Honors event in Phoenix.
"I am honored to be selected as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year," Davis said. "This award means a great deal to me, as it symbolizes the valued work that the NFL, its players, and its 32 teams do in the community. I am blessed to have such a strong support system in my family, the Carolina Panthers and the NFL, which allows me to make an impact in the communities we serve."
Davis, who had 129 tackles for the Panthers last season, will get a $50,000 donation made to the charity of his choice.
Larry Fitzgerald wins NFL's inaugural sportsmanship award
Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has garnered the NFL's inaugural Art Rooney Award for sportsmanship, the club announced Saturday night.
The award was voted upon by Fitzgerald's fellow players. It is named for the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
One example of Fitzgerald's respect for those he competes against came last season, when he delivered a textbook block on unsuspecting Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. While Fitzgerald knocked down Sherman, he did not hit him as hard as he could have. As the players ran back to their huddles, Sherman patted Fitzgerald on the helmet.
Afterwards, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll publicly praised Fitzgerald for the physical-but-clean way he plays the game.
The 31-year-old Fitzgerald is entering his 12th NFL season.
Aaron Donald wins defensive rookie of the year
Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is the NFL's defensive rookie of the year.
Donald got the award at tonight's NFL Honors, capping a season in which he recorded nine sacks, including one sack in eight of the Rams' last 11 games.
Of the 50 media members who vote on the NFL's awards, 25 chose Donald as the defensive rookie of the year. Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley was next with 18 votes, followed by Raiders linebacker Khalil Mack with six votes and 49ers linebacker Chris Borland with one vote.
J.J. Watt named defensive player of the year
In the least surprising news to come out of tonight's NFL Honors event, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has been named the defensive player of the year.
It was obvious that Watt would win the award because it's obvious that Watt is the NFL's best defensive player. There's plenty of debate about who the second-best defensive player in the NFL is, but there's no debate about who's first.
Watt was selected unanimously by the 50 media members who vote on the NFL's awards.
The biggest question about Watt now is whether he can continue to play at the dominant level he has shown off for the last three seasons. If he does, he'll be not just the best defensive player in the NFL at the moment, but perhaps the greatest defensive player ever to play the game.
Junior Seau leads a strong eight-man class into the Hall of Fame
The Pro Football Hall of Fame cleared the decks of a number of finalists who had been debated for years, as they ushered in an eight-man class to Canton Saturday night.
First-year eligible linebacker Junior Seau was elected to the Hall of Fame, along with running back Jerome Bettis, defensive end Charles Haley, guard Will Shields and wide receiver Tim Brown.
They'll be joined this summer by seniors nominee Mick Tingelhoff and contributor candidates Bill Polian and Ron Wolf, who were chosen in separate up-down votes which required at least 80 percent to be elected.
Brown, the longtime Raiders receiver/return man, was in his sixth year as a finalist, as he was stuck in previous years behind Hall of Famers Cris Carter and Andre Reed.
Likewise, Haley was in his sixth trip as a finalist, as he was finally recognized his contributions to five Super Bowl Champions in San Francisco and Dallas.
Bettis was in his fifth year in the final 15, and Shields was making his fourth trip that far.
Seau, however, didn't need that much time, as the late Chargers, Dolphins and Patriots linebacker needed the shortest discussion of any of the 18 candidates discussed.
Those five modern era finalists emerged from a strong group of finalists, which were debated in a nearly nine-hour meeting Saturday.
The players who filled slots six through 10, and stand a solid shot at the Hall next year include linebacker Kevin Greene, quarterback Kurt Warner, tackle Orlando Pace, wide receiver Marvin Harrison and coach Tony Dungy.
The first five players eliminated from the original list of 15 modern era finalists were coaches Don Coryell and Jimmy Johnson, kicker Morten Andersen, running back Terrell Davis and safety John Lynch.
Those remaining players will be eligible again next year, along with a crop of first-year eligible players which includes quarterback Brett Favre, wide receiver Terrell Owens, guard Alan Faneca and safety Darren Sharper.
Bruce Arians is the NFL's coach of the year
After leading the injury-plagued Cardinals to the playoffs, Bruce Arians has been named the NFL's coach of the year.
Arians, who kept the Cardinals together after they lost both starting quarterback Carson Palmer and backup quarterback Drew Stanton, was named the recipient of the coach of the year award at NFL Honors. A panel of 50 members of the media voted on the award.
This is the second time Arians has been named the NFL's coach of the year; he also won the award after the 2012 season, when he took over the Colts after Chuck Pagano was stricken with leukemia and led the Colts to the playoffs.
To earn two coach of the year awards in his first three seasons as a head coach is an extraordinary accomplishment, for an extraordinary coach.
DeMarco Murray named offensive player of the year
Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray was named the NFL's offensive player of the year for the 2014 season.
Murray finished the regular season with 392 carries for 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns, plus another 57 catches for 416 yards. His production was a big part of the Cowboys snapping their string of 8-8 seasons and making the playoffs.
Going forward, it remains to be seen whether Murray will keep helping the Cowboys win. Murray becomes a free agent in March, and the Cowboys may not have the cap space to afford to keep him.
But for now, Murray's award is a tribute not just to his own season but to that of a great Cowboys offensive line, and to a year when Dallas finally turned the corner and returned to the postseason.
Report: Ron Wolf a member of Hall's Class of 2015
The man who built one of the NFL's top teams of the 1990s is reportedly headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Former Packers G.M. Ron Wolf is a member of the Hall's Class of 2015, Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Saturday evening. Wolf gained induction as a contributor.
The 76-year-old Wolf is perhaps best known for trading a first-round pick to the Falcons for quarterback Brett Favre in 1992. The move was a masterstroke, as Favre became one of the top passers of his generation, leading Green Bay to two Super Bowls, including victory in Super Bowl XXXI.
Odell Beckham Jr. named offensive rookie of the year
The choice for offensive rookie of the year in the NFL in 2014 was an easy one.
Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who shook off an injury-plagued start of the season to become one of the league's most exciting playmakers, has been named the NFL's offensive rookie of the year. The award was announced on Saturday night at the NFL Honors event in Phoenix.
The NFL's awards are voted on by a panel of 50 members of the media, and in the case of this award, there was widespread agreement: Beckham got 42 votes, with Cowboys guard Zack Martin getting seven and Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans getting one.
Beckham missed the first four games of the season and spent three more as only a small player in the Giants' offense. But over the second half of the season, Beckham was the best wide receiver in the NFL. After the Giants' Week Eight bye, Beckham never had fewer than 90 yards in any game, and despite that slow start he finished the year with 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The NFL had a talented class of rookie wide receivers this season, but there was no question who was the best: Beckham, by far.
Jerome Bettis indicates he's made the Hall of Fame
Via his verified Twitter account, former Rams and Steelers tailback Jerome Bettis indicated Saturday evening that he has been selected to the Hall of Fame's Class of 2015.
Wrote Bettis: "So happy to be amongst the games greatest players!! My Family and I are truly honored and blessed!"
Ed Bouchette, the Steelers' beat writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and a member of the Hall's selection committee, confirmed in a story for the newspaper that Bettis had made the Hall.
On Twitter, the Steelers congratulated Bettis for his induction writing: "The Bus is headed to the @ProFootballHOF! Congratulations to @JeromeBettis36 on a well-deserved honor!"
Bettis rushed for 13,662 yards in 12 NFL seasons, sixth-most in league history.

Patriots center Bryan Stork probable for Super Bowl XLIX
The Patriots' starting center looks on track to play in Super Bowl XLIX.
Rookie Bryan Stork (knee) is now officially probable for Sunday's game vs. Seattle, the Patriots announced Saturday.
Stork had been listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
According to the NFL, a "probable" designation means a player has a 75 percent chance of playing, whereas "questionable" infers a player is 50-50 to take part in the game.
Stork (6-4, 311) did not play in the AFC Championship vs. Indianapolis because of his injury. A fourth-round pick from Florida State, Stork has started 12-of-14 games in which he's played this season, including the Patriots' divisional-round win vs. Baltimore.
Stork was the lone player on either club designated as questionable on Friday's injury report. Both teams now list seven players apiece as probable, with none designated as doubtful or out.
Pete Carroll: Kam Chancellor looked well on Saturday
One day after appearing on the injury report with a knee injury, Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor looked no worse for wear at Saturday's walk-through, according to the media pool practice report.
According to pool reporter D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Chancellor "did not appear to be favoring either leg" one day before Seattle plays New England in Super Bowl XLIX.
"He looked pretty good today," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told Ledbetter on Saturday. "We will make sure we test him in pregame, but he remarkably looked great today, and so that's all we have to go on."
Chancellor sustained the knee injury in a tumble near the end of practice on Friday. Per Will Carroll of Bleacher Report, Chancellor suffered a bruised knee.
A three-time Pro Bowler, the 26-year-old Chancellor had a major impact in Seattle's 43-8 romp vs. Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII, notching 10 tackles.
All Seahawks players took part in the walk-through, which was held indoors and lasted less than an hour, according to the pool report.

Microsoft: Working Well with Novell
The current technical and financial collaboration with Novell seems to be pleasing Microsoft. Virtualization, file management and license sales are part of the success stories.
The partner companies consider Virtualization and the management of heterogeneous environments as concrete results of their collaboration. Since September 2007 Microsoft and Novell have been working in an interoperability lab on platform-independent software. Main target of their effort are the respective server products Windows Server and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). Novell called the newest version 11 of SLES the main achievement in interoperability with Microsoft products, including the integration of Moonlight, the Mono porting of Microsoft's Silverlight Rich Web technology. Partner Microsoft now announces its next R2 version of Windows Server 2008, which should operate optionally as a guest system with SES 11 in Hyper-V.
A further high point in the development is system management of mixed environments. The respective packages will be showing concrete evidence when they start appearing in the next few months: on Microsoft's end it's the System Center Operations Manager, on Novell's end the Linux Management Pack. Administrators can use them to oversee their Linux and Windows systems. The Microsoft System Center Operations Manager should manage seven not as yet revealed SLES key services. Further collaboration of these two partners with Dell should result in a few whitepapers that will describe this kind of heterogeneous virtualization.
Tom Hanrahan, while Microsoft's Open Source technology leader, can call a year and a half's worth of work a sign of progress. "Our customers continue to be pressed, both by increasingly economic uncertainty and financial pressures, to do more with less," he says. At the same time Microsoft has released its latest financial report. The last half year brought 100 new customers to the two companies, more than double the number of their first two years of collaboration. Cumulatively the partners sold over $200 million in certificates for SLED support and maintenance. Market growth in China and the Pacific region has also added 50 new customers for their mixed-source IT environments since April 2008.
At closer inspection, the numbers can take on a different angle. Ten months ago Novell claimed $153 million in Microsoft purchases of their licenses, with a further $100 million due back in November 2008. The $253 million makes Microsoft Novell's single largest Linux licensee. The newest numbers don't quite have these figures flowing back into their revenue stream.
To compare, Linux enterprise Red Hat in their last fiscal year quarter ending in February alone reported $139 million in subscription revenue.

Hello - I have a Wolf L Series Wall Oven that was recently installed. I've noticed the little button that activates the dash rotation is 'wiggly' (don't know how else to describe it). It all works fine, but should this button wiggle like this? If you have an L series, would you mind letting me know if yours is also wiggly or if it's not? THANK YOU! |

I have a single L-Series wall oven and it is "wiggly", and that is normal. It is how ours has always been and how it has been on every one I have seen in show rooms including the Wolf cooking demo. Phil |
Thanks philwojo99! It's just strange that they would leave it like that. I don't know why it needs to be so loose when it's really just a push-button. But I'm glad mine is not defective. Thanks! |
- Posted by philwojo99 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 9, 13 at 16:33
I would agree, it does have a lot of play/wiggle to it. We have had ours for about 1-year now and no issues yet, but it is just my wife and I no kids. Phil |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Thu, Dec 19, 13 at 13:47
I've had 2 Wolf L doubles. (The first was replaced due to blue porcelain chipping.) On my first one, the button wasn't as wiggly. The second is wiggly-er. The blue porcelain, however, looks like it's chipping again. |
- Posted by kalapointer (My Page) on Fri, Dec 20, 13 at 14:01
Breezy, I am also having chipping problems again and I contacted Wolf and told them I would get back to them after the first of the new year. I hope the new E's have that problem fixed. At least they have a record of me contacting them. You might want to wait until to do anything about replacement until the new M Series replaces the L Series, but I would call them and let them know you are not happy with your ovens. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Fri, Dec 20, 13 at 22:13
Hi Kala. I just posted on A2's thread asking about anyone NOT having chipping. I was actually waiting a little longer until closer to the M release. When you told Wolf, did they say anything? Offer anything? Or did you just state the problem and say you'd contact them again next year? I'm thinking that if I call them they'll want to do something about it right away. |
- Posted by kalapointer (My Page) on Sat, Dec 21, 13 at 11:07
No, they were not trying to force an oven on me now. They said that the new Es will have a separate piece on the bottom and that should take the stress off the corners that causes the chipping. So they know that I am waiting for the new model. The new Ms have new convection fans in the corners and both E and M's ovens are a little larger. I would just tell them that I can wait for the new model. They are great ovens, if they can just fix the chipping problem. Good luck with yours. |

What Are Some of the Best Tequila Cocktail Recipes?
There are very few people who haven't heard of tequila or had too much of it on occasion. You likely aren't aware of the fact, though, that tequila is good for a lot more than just shots. As you read through this guide, you'll find about about some of the most exceptional tequila cocktails that you can serve at home.
You won't fully appreciate the recipes in this guide unless you recognize that there are multiple forms of tequila from which consumers like you can choose. There are four primary types of tequila. These are called blanco, oro, resposado, and anejo; the English translation of these words is silver, gold, rested, and aged. Every style has particular distinctions from all of the others.
For instance, anejo tequilas must be aged for a period of eight years or longer inside of white oak barrels. Blanco tequilas, alternately, are required to be bottled as soon as they're taken from their stills; these are the strong tequilas that people are usually quick to think of. As you read the recipes that are featured here, you should keep in mind that the most high-quality tequila brands will yield the best flavored drinks in the end.
Try a Refreshing Paloma Brava Cocktail
The Paloma Brava is a cocktail that features tequila and several kinds of fruit juice. Simply mix your oro tequila of choice with grapefruit soda, lime juice, and a squeeze of fresh orange juice. The Paloma Brava, which can feature a salt garnish, is designed to be served in a highball glass.
Don't Knock the Strawberry-Balsamic Tequila Sour Until You Try It
Most people balk when they initially read the name of this cocktail. Although balsamic vinegar is certainly a unique ingredient for a cocktail, it adds a caramel undertone to this drink, which also features sweet strawberries and tangy lime juice.
Don't Hesitate to Try a Tangerine Ginger Margarita
Margaritas are among the most popular tequila-based cocktails; they generally feature oro tequilas. If you want to try one of the most unique tequila recipes on earth, squeeze in the juice from a fresh tangerine slice, some pomegranate juice, and a dash of ginger to garnish.
If You Like Bloody Marys, You'll Love Vampiras
Bloody Mary cocktails have something of a cult following; people tend to either love them or abhor them. The Vampira is a tequila-based cocktail that is quite similar to a Bloody Mary. It includes lemon juice, grapefruit soda, and hot sauce.
Craving Something Spicy? Try a Bee Sting!
Bee Stings are resposado tequila-based drinks that also feature jalapeno juice, honey, and lemon juice. While these are quite spicy, they are worth trying at least once!

have a few rabbits foot ferns that have quite a bit of scale on the stems throughout the plant
was looking for a good "safe" treatment to perhaps "dunk" the whole plant into beside scraping them all off one at a time thanks folks! |

This time of year you can give your rabbit's foot fern a haircut. That is, cut of all the fronds. All the existing fronds will die over the summer anyway. I use Cygon at about half strength to treat all my ferns for scale. But any similar systemic should do the trick. First make sure the plant is well watered then mix the pesticide in a big bucket and dunk the plant. It's always easier to avoid getting scale than to treat it. Keep an eye on your garden to head off any infestations. Also, with "Rabbit's foot" good air circulation is essential. Best of luck. |
Cygon has been yanked from the market, I believe. |

Re: question for christians
several years ago i came across an interview with joseph campbell, the master of myth and metaphor. he was discussing the subject of easter sunday. he was blending elements of the equinox, the cycle of the moon, and story of christ. regeneration and transformation was the basic thrust. he set up his story of easter by reminding us of a more difficult time. a time when we came out of the fall equinox and harvest season with the hopes of making it through what could be a difficult winter. he described the celebration of the winter solstice, and the turning point from the darkest of days, when the light of hope appeared on the horizon, leading us to spring and our salvation. a time of regeneration, resurrection, and fertility. but the most intriguing metaphor he described, for me, was the cycle of the moon as it related to the lifespan and maturity of a man/jesus. the moon, like a child, shows it's first sliver of light and intellect in the form of the crescent. and as it progresses, it's light and understanding becomes stronger and brighter. this being/ego/entity begins to shine brightly, until it reaches it's MID life, the full moon. this is the beauty of the equinox and easter.
for those lucky enough to have a clear view of both the eastern and western horizons, do yourself a favor and get up at sun rise. on a perfect easter/equinox morning, you should be able to see 2 bodies of light, one on either horizon. if it's clear enough, and If you don't know your east from your west, the sun and moon appear to be equally bright and you may not be able to tell them apart. It's at this moment in this mans/moons life that he should realize, if he's a truly conscious and connected being, that the light he has been emanating and boasting about is not his own. rather it is being reflected off/through him from a higher source/power. "i and my father are one," if i may quote today's guest of honor.

About ELECTRON
ELECTRON is an exploratory study of PSI-7977 for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. Part 1 of the trial is evaluating 12-week regimens of interferon-free PSI-7977 400mg QD with ribavirin (RBV), and three abbreviated duration peginterferon (Peg-IFN) regimens of 4, 8, or 12 weeks in treatment-naive patients with HCV GT2 or GT3. The primary endpoint of the trial is the safety and tolerability of PSI-7977 400mg QD and RBV for 12 weeks, administered with or without Peg-IFN. On May 11, 2011, Pharmasset announced the completed enrollment of Part 1 of ELECTRON:
In Part 2 of ELECTRON, a 5th cohort was added to explore PSI-7977 monotherapy in treatment naive patients with HCV GT2 or GT3:
Following on the previously reported 100% SVR12 in treatment-naive subjects with HCV GT2/3 (PROTON), a 6th cohort was added to ELECTRON to explore an 8-week duration of PSI-7977Peg-IFN/RBV. The previously announced 7th cohort in HCV GT1 patients with a prior "null" response to Peg-IFN, has been modified to an interferon-free 12-week regimen of PSI-7977/RBV.
In Part 3 of ELECTRON, two additional IFN-free regimens will be explored in treatment-naive patients with HCV GT1 and in treatment-experienced patients with HCV GT2 or GT3.
