COLUMBIA CITY — It's not a bird, but it could very well be a plane — Brett Gerber's Long EZ to be exact.
Gerber owns and operates Gerber Aviation, LLC., which maintains, builds and inspects small air craft. He also pilots two aircraft he built — a Long EZ and a Quickie Q2.
In the cockpit, Gerber enjoys the freedom of flight, but is careful to keep a healthy respect for the possible dangers.
"I know the reality of it. I know that if I crash, there's not much hope. These are small planes — just wide enough to sit," Gerber said. "Flying and building planes is a stress reliever. It's a chance to take a breath and relax."
When Gerber is grounded, his time is spent as the newest funeral director at DeMoney-Grimes Funeral Home, Columbia City. It may seem as if his two worlds, Gerber's passion for aviation and his job in the funeral business, couldn't be more different.
However, Gerber said there are some similar lessons that span the gap to make his two fascinations fit together.

The Red Shoes(1948)Michael Powell directs Hans Christian Andersen's tale of a famous ballerina who must choose between art and love filmed in glorious Technicolor Jack Cardiff cinematography. For more about The Red Shoes and the The Red Shoes Blu-ray release, see the The Red Shoes Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on July 10, 2010 where this Blu-ray release scored 5.0 out of 5. Directors: Michael Powell (I), Emeric Pressburger Writers: Michael Powell (I), Emeric Pressburger Starring: Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring, Robert Helpmann, Albert Bassermann, Ludmilla Tchérina » See full cast & crew The Red Shoes Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.37:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's The Red Shoes arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. The following text appears in the booklet provided with this Blu-ray disc: "This new high-definition digital transfer was created from the 2009 4K digital restoration made from the original Techniocolor negatives and optical tracks. The Red Shoes was restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in association with the BFI, the Film Foundation, ITV Global Entertainment Ltd., and Janus Films. Restoration funding was provided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Film Foundation, and the Louis B. Mayer Foundation. Restoration supervised by: Robert Gitt, with the assistance of Barbara Whitehand. Digital colorist: Ray Grabowski/Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging, Burbank, CA. Film color timing: David Cetra/Cinetech, Valencia, CA. Digital audio restoration: John Polito. Digital Picture Restoration: Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging, in association with Prasad Corporation Ltd. (India) and MTI Film". I decided to name the parties involved with this project so that people could get a good idea of how important the restoration of The Red Shoes was. Hopefully, once you see the final product you would be as pleased as I am. The high-definition transfer looks solid. Detail is fantastic, clarity very impressive and contrast levels simply wonderful. The color-scheme, however, is where the most serious improvements are - blues, reds, yellows, greens and blacks look lush and notably rich. This high-definition transfer appears to be practically identical to the one ITV used for their Blu-ray release of The Red Shoes in the United Kingdom. I did not see any serious fluctuations in the color-schemes. Contrast levels and clarity look very similar as well. Blown through a digital projector, the two high-definition transfers also convey similar depth and fluidity. To sum it all up, I am convinced that film aficionados residing in Region-A territories will be very impressed with this wonderful release. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). The Red Shoes Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: English LPCM Mono. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. I do not have any major reservations with the English LPCM track. The dialog is crisp, clean, clear and stable. Brian Easdale's music score also sounds very good. Generally speaking, the dynamic amplitude of the English LPCM track is almost identical to that found on the ITV Blu-ray release. Finally, I did not detect any disturbing pops, cracks, or hissings to report in this review.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who was President-elect Barack Obama's pastor for 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's South Side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides conceded was "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the Sept. 11 attacks with its own "terrorism."
Wright married Obama and his wife, Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book "The Audacity of Hope."
An ABC News review of dozens of Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the United States based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."
Read the story: Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11.
Then-Sen. Barack Obama told ABC News' Charlie Gibson that the personal attacks levied against him by the campaign of his presidential rival, Sen. John McCain, particularly references to his association with 1960s anti-war radical Bill Ayers, were an attempt to "score cheap political points."
"Why don't we just clear it up right now," Obama told Gibson in an exclusive interview for "World News". "I'll repeat again what I've said many times. This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the University of Illinois. ... And the notion that somehow he has been involved in my campaign, that he is an adviser of mine, that . . . I've 'palled around with a terrorist,' all these statements are made simply to try to score cheap political points."
Obama said that the McCain campaign is making personal attacks "the centerpiece of the discussion in the closing weeks of a campaign where we are facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and we're in the middle of two wars."

The economic crisis and recession received a great deal of coverage at the end of 2008, and one popular story focused on banks in Colorado, Maryland, Georgia and California that topped privately prepared lists of troubled banks being circulated on Wall Street and in Washington.
While the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) kept secret its official list of 90 troubled banks, ABC News obtained other lists prepared by several research groups and financial analysts.
The lists use versions of the so-called "Texas ratio," which compare a bank's assets and reserves to its non-performing loans, based on financial data made public by the FDIC in March.
Analysts say banks with a ratio more than 100 percent would be the most likely to fail, based on what happened to Texas savings and loans during the 1980s.

Do go check this site out. I especially liked the "meet the artist" section. You are given a list of artists and their photos. You can click on "more info" next to the artist and go to a page of short quicktime videos. It's great to listen to the artist speak about why they make art and related topics. Since I was not familiar with many of these artists, I would have really appreciated it if they had also showed a sample of each artists work. Do check this link out, Thanks to Peggy..... Woody

Hamelin's dreams put on iceBy PAUL FRIESEN, QMI Agency |
Charles Hamelin shows his disappointment after being eliminated from the qualifying heats in the 1,500-metre short track competition at the Vancouver Olympics Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010. (DANIEL MALLARD/QMI AGENCY) |
VANCOUVER Charles Hamelins dreams of making Canadian history evaporated before a packed Pacific Coliseum Saturday night.
Widely considered one of the top threats to bring home the first-ever gold on Canadian soil, Hamelin didnt even make the final, edged out in his semifinal by American star Apolo Anton Ohno and Jung-Su Lee of Korea. The top two in each of three semis advanced to the final.
But the 25-year-old from Levis, Que., vowed to put the race behind him and be back for another shot at the podium.
Im good at it, Hamelin said of shaking off adversity. Ill go back in the Village and start to think about what I do next.
Even though hes generally stronger in the 500- and 1,000-metre events, Hamelin desperately wanted to hit the podium in the 1,500, after a fourth-place finish in Turin four years ago.
Asked if the expectations on him were unfair, he didnt hesitate.
No. I was one of the hopes for Canada, he said. It happens so fast. The decisions I made maybe were wrong. But I know what I did and how to correct it in the next race.
Hamelin will get two chances to redeem himself, as he holds the world record in the 1,000 and won the 500 at the last world championship.
Canadian Olivier Jean, on the other hand, got a break in his semifinal although it didnt appear that way at first.
In second place just past the halfway mark, Jean fell and appeared to be done. The judges, though, ruled he was interfered with, gave him a pass into the final and gave a crowd of 14,000-plus hope for a Canadian podium finish, after all.
Jean received a huge ovation, starting on the outside lane before quickly moving up with the front-runners in the traditional early game of cat-and-mouse.
The 25-year-old Quebecer actually held the lead for a while, but fell back and couldnt keep pace with eventual winner, Lee of Korea. A crash on the final turn wiped out two skaters and vaulted Jean into fourth.
The silver went to Ohno, his sixth career medal, the bronze to American J.R. Celski.
Jean wasnt considered as strong a medal threat here, and was happy with how his day went.
Im not going to change anything, he said. Im feeling really confident.
Hell also race the 500 and 1,500.
Meanwhile, Canadas womens relay team punched its ticket to the 3,000-metre final, finishing second in a semi.

Some Employers Encourage Workers to Travel to Hospitals With Bundled Prices
More employers are incentivizing workers with bonuses, waived deductibles and paid travel expenses if they receive surgery at a select hospital that charges a fixed price for the procedure, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
Food retailer Kroger is one company that has specified 19 hospitals as top performers for employees' surgery. If employees choose one of these 19 hospitals, they may pay 10 percent out of pocket. If they choose another nearby medical center, they may pay 25 percent to half of the out-of-pocket costs, according to the report.
So far, 21 Kroger employees have traveled for their surgery this year, many to Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Irvine, Calif. The employees' travel and lodging expenses are paid for, and Kroger also provides a certain amount of spending money for the patient. A Kroger spokesperson said the company pays $30,000 on average for hip and knee replacement surgeries — about 15 percent less than what it pays at other hospitals.
Walmart is also beginning to "surgery shop." Beginning in January 2013, the retail giant will offer employees and their families heart, spine and transplant surgeries at no cost at six major hospital systems across the country. Travel and lodging will also be covered.
In 2011, the California Public Employees' Retirement System restricted its spending on knee and hip replacement surgeries to $30,000. Hospital bills ranged from $15,000 to $110,000 with no noticeable difference in quality. Forty-five hospital systems were willing to stay within CalPERS' designated amount. Since then, the average price per surgery has dropped 30 percent to $23,113, according to the report.

Let's be very clear: None of the following is confirmed, and it's only the latest wave of Internet speculation surrounding Axl Rose non-paramour (oh man, remember how fun that was?) and "Video Games" songstress Lana Del Rey. But! Rumor has it that before Lizzy Grant became Lana Del Rey — so before that first secret album — she actually recorded another album under the name May Jailer. These songs could very obviously be fake, though they do have that wobbly Lana feel. And if you're going to go to all the trouble of making a hoax Lana Del Rey album, wouldn't you leak it while the Internet was still abuzz? Follow-up conspiracy theory: What if these are new Lana tracks, snuck onto the Internet by her management as old Lana tracks, in an effort to gin up more controversy? Hey, look — it worked. Anyway, the evidence is below; judge for yourself.
Are These Songs From Lana Del Rey's Secret First Album?
That is the rumor.

Registered User Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2012 Posts: 64 | Music from the first 3 trailers -- what were they trying to say? I just gave this about ten minutes worth of thought, so don't believe that I'm onto something "big" here. But it is somewhat interesting, I feel. Songs from the first three trailers: "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" by Small Faces "Skeletons" by Stevie Wonder "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen (I'm not counting the next two songs from Franklin and Trevor's debut trailers, because if I did, I wouldn't be able to make my point.) Ha ha ha... But really -- what do these three songs have in common? Give up? It's easy: The lead singers/frontmen from the acts or bands showcased by these songs cannot play this game. And it is sad. The reason why they can't play the game is that, in the case of Small Faces, Steve Marriott is dead -- in the case of Queen, Freddie Mercury is dead -- and in the case of Stevie Wonder -- he's blind. Steve Marriott died in his sleep after a lighted cigarette reportedly burned. Freddie died of AIDS. And Stevie, while able to see initially after being born, lost his eyesight progressively and quickly. Anyway, this is probably a throwaway thread. But I thought that it was, as I wrote, kind of interesting. And it makes me wonder whether Rockstar were trying to SAY something with these song selections. I know that they certainly put quite a lot of thought into the music that accompanies their games. Even so, I imagine that the above sad stories are incidental to the game itself. Or maybe not.

Cola-addled Smartass Regular Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Posts: 457 | Well, let's look at the lyrics. ...okay, we can't do that for the first one--it's an instrumental. But it's a nice one, very atmospheric and I think it suited the mood they were going for very well. Made the game seem dramatic. So the "Skeletons" trailer. The song is all about the lies people tell and the secrets they keep from others, and how those secrets always eventually find their way out into the light. I think there's something very important to be had there. I'm willing to bet Michael isn't telling his family he's getting back into the business, and there's a strong chance this is going to come to a head at some point in the game. He COULD end up getting thrown out of his house--or the wife will leave and take the kids with her. It's a possibility, all I'm saying. Now for the "Michael/Franklin/Trevor" trailer. There's meaning here too. Queen's "Radio Ga-Ga" is a song about a media that many thought was on its way out (written in the 1980s, the heyday of music videos). The song pines for days gone by when times were better. Michael, aparently, feels the same way about his life. I'm not as familiar with the other two songs in this trailer, so for now I'll refrain from comment. __________________ XBL Gamertag: JWRebholz PSN ID: jwrebholz ...No, I'm not very creative when it comes to this sort of thing. |

1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Cold Air Intake - AEM 21-8000DP
Product DescriptionThis AEM Cold Air Intake is built for Chevrolet Silverado 1500s of model years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Usually, Cold Air Intakes augment real power levels by perhaps 10%, but of course this will vary from that figure depending on the usefulness and quality of the intake. A Cold Air Intake is a unique device utilized in an effort to enhance the overall strength and efficiency of your vehicle's motor by bringing in chilly outer air and taking it directly to the engine. Happily, an intake can easily be put in place by beginning hobbyists with simple tools - usually just a common screwdriver. Cold Air Intakes are available in a range of styles and are a great complement or replacement for stock air intakes that have a tendency to be somewhat substandard by comparison; high-end intakes can improve gas mileage and performance. Chevrolet Silverado 1500s of model years '99, '00, '01, '02, '03, '04, '05, '06 and '07 will work with this replacement part. Different makes and models may not be compatible, so this component is not intended to be used in those models. Performance Graph Document:Installation Instructions: |

Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station is a twin reactor nuclear power station located on a 3,300-acre (1,300 ha) site 2 miles east of Homestead, Florida, United States, next to Biscayne National Park located about 25 miles (40 km) south of Miami, Florida near the southernmost edge of Miami-Dade County.
Turkey Point is owned by Florida Power & Light.
Including the two nuclear plants, Turkey Point operates five power-generating units. It comprises two 400-megawatt oil/natural gas-fired generation units (Units 1 and 2) and two nuclear Westinghouse pressurized water reactors (Units 3 and 4), each supplying steam to one high pressure and two low-pressure turbines with a power output rated at 693 MWe for each unit. In 2007, it added the 1,150 MW combined-cycle gas-fired Unit 5.[1] It serves the entire southern portion of Florida. With a combined capacity of 3330 MW, the site is the largest generating station in Florida and is the sixth largest power plant in the United States.[2]
PWRs completed in 1972 and 1973.
In 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) extended the operating licenses for both nuclear reactors from forty years to sixty years. In 2006, FPL informed the NRC that they planned to apply for new units to be built at Turkey Point. FPL filed an initial proposal for increased capacity with the Florida Public Service Commission in October 2007.[3] The proposal was approved by the PSC in March 2008.[4]
FPL also plans to spend about $1.5 billion to increase the capacity of its existing four reactors at Turkey Point and the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant by a total of about 400 MW by 2012.[5]
On June 30, 2009, FPL submitted a Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application for two 1,117-MWe Westinghouse AP1000 reactors (Units 6 and 7).[6] FPL had considered building two 1,550-MWe GE ESBWR reactors.[1] Construction is expected to begin in 2012, with the new units going online in 2017 and 2019. FPL estimates the total overnight costs of the power plants, including first fuel load, at $6.8–$9.9 billion, and the total project cost at $12.1–$17.8 billion.[7]
Surrounding population[edit]
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines two emergency planning zones around nuclear power plants: a plume exposure pathway zone with a radius of 10 miles (16 km), concerned primarily with exposure to, and inhalation of, airborne radioactive contamination, and an ingestion pathway zone of about 50 miles (80 km), concerned primarily with ingestion of food and liquid contaminated by radioactivity.[8]
The 2010 U.S. population within 10 miles (16 km) of Turkey Point was 161,556, an increase of 62.8 percent in a decade, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data for msnbc.com. The 2010 U.S. population within 50 miles (80 km) was 3,476,981, an increase of 15.1 percent since 2000. Cities within 50 miles include Miami (25 miles to city center).[9]
Incident history[edit]
On May 8, 1974, a test was performed on all three of the Emergency Feedwater (EFW) pumps serving Unit 3 while the reactor was operating at power. Two of the pumps failed to start as a result of overtightened packing. The third pump failed to start because of a malfunction in the turbine regulating valve pneumatic controller. (ref NRC LER 250/74-LTR) In an on-going study (ref NRC Commission Document SECY-05-0192 Attachment 2 NRC.gov) of precursors that could lead to a nuclear accident if additional failures were to have occurred, the NRC concluded (as of 24-Oct-2005) that this event at Turkey Point Unit 3 was the fifth highest ranked occurrence.
In 1992, Turkey Point was directly hit by Hurricane Andrew, destroying its main water tank, causing severe damage to the water treatment plant, and to a smokestack of one of the site's fossil-fueled units. The smokestack had to be demolished and rebuilt. It also suffered a loss of offsite power, requiring the onsite emergency diesel generators to start. No damage was done to the plant's containment buildings.[10][11] The plant was built to withstand winds of up to 235 mph (380 km/h), greatly exceeding the maximum winds recorded by category 5 hurricanes.
2008 Florida electricity blackout[edit]
On February 26, 2008, both reactors were shut down due to the loss of off-site power during a widespread power outage in South Florida, affecting 700,000 customers.[12]
At least 2.5 million people were without power. The blackout was initially caused by an overheated voltage switch that soon caught fire in a power substation in Miami, 23 miles away from the plant. The fire occurred at 1:08 pm which caused an automatic shutdown of the power plant. This led to a domino effect that caused outages as far north as Daytona Beach and Tampa. Power was restored by 4:30 pm. The reason this malfunction caused such widespread outages is still under investigation.[12]
Walt Disney World, Orlando International Airport, and Miami International Airport were among the places affected by the outage.[13]
David Hoffman, a nuclear supervisor at Turkey Point, resigned over the incident and was subsequently sued by Florida Power and Light for return of a bonus. Hoffman countersued, claiming he was pressured to restart the reactors while they were in a condition which in his judgement made it unsafe to do so. Upper management wanted the reactors restarted during xenon dead time, which would have caused the operators at the controls to continuously step control rods to safely manage reactor output.
Florida Power and Light responded to the allegation, claiming Hoffman's suit was "self motivated".[14][15]
It is home to a wildlife preserve, helping the population of the American crocodile.[16] Turkey Point has been a contributing force to the reclassification of the American Crocodile from endangered to the less serious category of vulnerable.[17]
Seismic risk[edit]
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Turkey Point was 1 in 100,000, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.[18][19] The plant is located in an area with the lowest earthquake hazard potential described by the USGS.[20]
Reactor data[edit]
The Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station consist of two operational reactors, two additional units are planned.
Reactor unit[21] | Reactor type | Capacity | Construction started | Electricity grid connection | Commercial operation | Shutdown | |

Excellent recipe. Since I buy my confectioners sugar in large quantities I will note for others 1 lb confectioners sugar equals 3 and one half cups. I like to make this recipe using 3 and one quarter cups confectioners sugar. The mixmaster really expedites the binding of the ingredients. Also I used the chocolate candy making disks at craft and grocery stores, formed the one inch balls on wax paper on a cookie sheet and put the cookie sheet into my freezer for 30 minutes . I use a long wooden skewer (shishkabob type) or a toothpick for dipping the cold dough balls and they turned out very well. Very professional looking. With the disks they can also easily be made with semi sweet or white chocolate.
I make these often. Have cut the receipe down because they make so many, I make the balls after I blend the mixture, Then I insert a sturdy toothpick into them and then I put them in the freezer for thirty minutes. This makes the toothpick strong so when you cover in chocolate the toothpick is firm.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed before me, they were a snap to put together, have great consistency and taste absolutely delicious! First of all, I don't know if anyone else has done this, but I used crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy. It was definitely great! (and I didn't have to add anything extra to get the crunch. :) And, thanks to previous reviewers, I creamed together the sugar & peanut butter before mixing in the room-temperature butter (not melted). After adding the butter and mixing around a couple times with my spoon, I put the spoon on the counter and mixed with my hands!! It creamed super fast and well! Then, I rolled the dough into balls and set on wax paper (I put the wax paper in a 16 X 20 pan) and put a toothpick in them before sticking them in the freezer for 15 minutes (which was plenty of time for them to harden). And I don't have a double boiler, so I melted the chocolate chips in the microwave and just made sure I stirred every 30 seconds for the first minute and 1/2, and then every 15 seconds for the next 45 seconds (because they can burn very easily in the microwave). I did have to put the chocolate back in the microwave about 4 times because it kept getting hard. I dipped half the balls in semi-sweet, and half of them in semi-sweet/butterscotch mix. I like the semi-sweet/butterscotch mix, and my husband likes the semi-sweet. So, we're satisfied! I hope these tips help some people, because I think mine turned out just fantastic!

About MeI love developing ideas and creating images that will consume thought, invoke feelings, alter views, and challenge opinions. I'm looking to meet other like minded artists (models, body painters, hair stylist, and makeup artiest), that are as passionate as I am, when it comes to their crafts, to work and create projects with, that will captivate the viewer and stand the test of time. My life has always revolved around photography, both in front and behind the camera, I've been a catalog model, a photographer's assistant, a photographer, and a videographer. I've been told by many models and artiest that I work a little different then most photographers and that my creative method is almost backwards, but I like to meet a model and get to know them and their personality, so I can collaborate with them and create a photo shoot that truly fits them rather then trying to fit them to a certain theme or idea. I prefer to work more on the artistic end of the photography spectrum when possible. I have a long ever evolving list of shoots that I would like to shoot, some of the shoots will require some nudity, but most nudity is implied, for in my personal projects I try to only use nudity when truly need or when it can enhance the shot, like a prop would be used to do so. I'm a big fan of TF photo shoots, so any models, body painters, hair stylist, or makeup artiest, that has an idea for a photo shoot project, that would like help creating or if you're needing help with your portfolio please let me know, I can shoot most any style or genera of photography and I can shoot on location or in my studio in Round Rock.Thanks for your time.

Kistler Cuvee Cathleen Chardonnay 2007
Chardonnay from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Produces one of our most complete and complex chardonnays, and nears perfection on an annual basis.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The luxury cuvee, the 2007 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard Cuvee Cathleen is essentially a selection of their best barrels from the Kistler site. It possesses pretty much everything a Chardonnay should have – great acidity, fabulous fruit, texture, remarkable aromatics, and a long, 40+ second finish.
Range: 94-97" -
International Wine Cellar - "Light gold. Precise, high-pitched aromas of lime, honeysuckle and minerals, with complicating notes of anise and iodine. Dense, intense and impeccably balanced, showing a very firm mineral spine without coming off as austere. In fact, this is extremely concentrated, offering powerful pear and fresh fig flavors and a late note of honeysuckle. Quite steely on the pure, dusty finish, which displays sneaky length and a touch of smokiness."
Kistler Winery
Founded in 1978, Kistler Vineyards is a small, family-owned and operated winery specializing in the production of Burgundian style Chardonnay and limited amounts of Pinot Noir. Grapes are estate grown and purchased from vineyards in Sonoma County. In 1992, Kistler Vineyards moved all production to its Vine Hill Road Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. View all Kistler Wines About Sonoma County
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.
Customer Reviews
Sign In to Add Your Review0 }div>Alcohol By Volume Guide
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
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

A Fair Trade Coffee:
Fair Trade begins with small farmers who bind together to develop community co-operatives. Working with Transfair Canada (Max Havelaar in Europe) the community negotiates a favourable price, or "living wage". Fair trade ultimately leverages consumer-buying power to help producers to help themselves.
The Transfair Canada logo on the packaging is your independent guarantee that the coffee meets international fair trade standards. For coffee farmers it means fair wages, social and environmental standards, and additional funds for local community development.

Mississippi Firefighter Dies During Water Rescue
The department's Facebook page identified the fallen firefighter as Larry Gressett.
"This is a tragic loss to each of the families who served with and who were friends with Larry and his family," a post from the department on the page reads. "Please continue to be in prayer for Larry's family and his fellow firefighters, who are completely grief-stricken."
Crews responded to the call at a private pond in Toomsuba at approximately 5:30 p.m. to find a man in a boat trying to hold the head of his drowning friend out of the water.
"He indicated that the gentleman had fallen into the lake and was attempting to get to the shore," Lauderdale County Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun told WTOK-TV. "He then reappeared and surfaced two minutes later. At that time, he was unresponsive."
That is when firefighters arrived on the scene.
Gressett went in after the unresponsive man, but had to be rescued and was declared dead along with the man who he was trying to save.
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks will conduct an investigation.

Wrongful Convictions: Adversarial and Inquisitorial ThemesKent RoachUniversity of Toronto - Faculty of Law June 1, 2010 North Carolina Journal of International Law and Commercial Regulation, Vol. 35, 2010 Abstract: The discovery of wrongful convictions in Anglo-American systems over the last twenty years has shaken confidence in the adversarial system of criminal justice. The first part of this article will assess the main identified causes of wrongful convictions in Anglo-American systems through the lens of what they reveal about the limits of the adversary system. Six main causes will be discussed, namely mistaken eyewitness identification, lying witnesses, false confessions and false guilty pleas, faulty forensic evidence, tunnel vision or confirmation bias, and inadequate defense representation. The second part of this article will assess possible remedies for wrongful convictions in Anglo-American systems through the lens of the extent to which they attempt to improve the adversarial system and the extent to which they adopt practices that use inquisitorial methods of investigation. The third part of the article will discuss reform proposals for preventing and remedying wrongful convictions that explicitly or implicitly draw on inquisitorial ideals. It will be suggested that many adversarial systems can easily accommodate inquisitorially inspired reforms. Finally, this article will draw some conclusions about what wrongful convictions can tell us about adversarial and inquisitorial systems. The weaknesses and blind spots of each system will be examined as a prelude to suggesting that combining aspects of adversarial and inquisitorial systems can best prevent and remedy wrongful convictions. Each system can and should learn from the other in order to better prevent and remedy wrongful convictions.

It´s not about the players we cut - I can live with every cut. And its not about us not signing Peppers or Ware. It´s about us cutting starters and not signing anybody.
We can`t fill all these holes in the draft. Not even close. We can count on 2-3 starters. 5 if we´re lucky. How many do we need? I´d say about 10. I am not saying we should`ve signed 7 guys. I am saying we should´ve tried to get some players that just got out of their rookie contract - players that still have 5 good years left in them. Not 7, but perhaps 2-3, just to make the draft easier and to minimize the holes we have.

JEMS Workshop
Students Get Hands-On Experience at JEMS Workshop
By Tara Roberts
The University of Idaho's Junior Engineering, Math and Science (JEMS) Summer Workshop brings together high-school students from Idaho, Washington and across the country to learn basic engineering principles and produce hands-on projects.
The workshop, which is sponsored by the UI College of Engineering, has been going on in some form for most of the past 40 years. This year, 24 students attended the week-long program.
"The goal is just to let the kids have fun in an engineering environment," says Bob Rinker, an associate professor of computer science who helped lead the camp. "They learn some new skills they can apply in a project over the course of the week."
At the 2013 workshop, the students' task was to design a small vehicle that could move minerals at a miningoperation on an alien planet. Their instructors threw a last-minute twist into the scenario with an earthquake that required the students to modify their design. The students tested their vehicles and competed for prizes on the workshop's final day.
The workshop's lessons and projects give the students a chance to learn principles of electricity, microcontroller programming, motors, gears and other engineering skills, as well as focus and prioritization skills.
"My favorite part of all engineering is getting to build stuff," says Lexi Edwards of Moscow, who attended the workshop and will be a high school senior in the fall. It puts everything we learn together – you actually have it in front of you."

Description: Currently the HTML5 specification contains a section, Section 5, devoted primarily to user agents like browsers. The section notes that though it is focused on browsers, requirements in the section apply to all user agents, not just browsers, unless otherwise noted. Though browsers are a major user agent for HTML/XHTML, they are not the only user agents. In particular, ebook technology is dependent on XHTML, and forms a completely different class of user agents than browsers. In addition, there are email applications that exist outside of browsers that also make use of HTML/XHTML, in addition to some word processing software. Though the section does provide a good reverse engineering of browser technology, most of the section has little to do with HTML, in general. In addition, it also has little to do with the Document Object Model (DOM), which is based on the HTML syntax, not objects implemented by various browsers. Including this section greatly extends the HTML5 specification beyond the charter, and beyond boundaries one can reasonably expect from an effort focused on HTML, both the XML serialization and non-XML serialization, and the DOM. In addition, by focusing the specification primarily towards browsers, we are limiting the usefulness of the HTML specification for other uses, both now, and in the future. Though one could say that the use of XHTML by eBooks is incidental to the development of a web-based language, that the ePub standard evolved from XHTML is a demonstration of the quality of a well-defined spec: new uses can evolve. Encapsulating everything relevant to browsers in the HTML spec is counter to good technology practices. Consider how a programmer creates an application: They look for opportunities to create reusable objects, which they then use to create any number of applications, not just one. We should follow the same philosophy when creating a new version of HTML by restricting our effort to a new version of HTML, its serialization in XML, and the DOM. This will include new elements, such as video, which may not be useful for all variations of user agents, but the concept behind the new elements still fits within our perceptions of what we would reasonably expect from an HTML specification. Simplifying the HTML5 specification in this way will greatly increase its usability by many user agents, not just browsers. A standardized UA or Browser Object Model, or Web Applications Core can then reference HTML, true, but so can other specifications, such as ePub (for eBooks) and so on. In addition, browser technology expands at a faster pace than that for the underlying HTML specification. By separating Section 5 out, the work can then be incorporated into a new effort that can be focused specifically on the class of user agents, which includes browser. This new effort won't then be dependent on the same release cycle as HTML. Separating the section out doesn't mean ripping the section out without checking cross-references. Care would need to be taken to ensure best effort, and there should be an additional effort to ensure a group is ready to absorb the newly separated out material and move it forward to FPWD and beyond. Another advantage to separating the material out is the fact that the work could be accessible by other specifications, and not just HTML. For instance, most of the web application core would also be applicable to SVG, as well as HTML/XHTML. Additionally, separating the material out should prevent confusion about the location of the material in the future. The browser object model, as it has been informally termed, has been around almost as long as HTML, but has existed separate from HTML. To suddenly combine the two will cause confusion about where to find the pertinent information about the specification. Lastly, splitting this section out helps to correct some of the problems with the existing HTML spec, which frequently mixes up the audience in the writing. Throughout the spec, we find that one sentence is directed at implementor, the next at authoring tools, the third at web page authors, the fourth at web developers--this type of haphazard mixing of audiences will, again, make the HTML5 specification extremely difficult to follow, and confusing. Anything we can do to improve the readability of the spec should be encouraged. Change Proposal: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/webcoresplit HTML5-SPEC-SECTIONS [browsers]
