Here's what Express-News staff writer Tom Orsborn says you should keep an eye on during today's game:
1. Wilson's footwork: Long before the Cowboys face Carolina's Cam Newton, Philadelphia's Michael Vick and Washington's Robert Griffin III, they must deal today with another mobile quarterback in Seattle rookie Russell Wilson.
The third-round pick from Wisconsin ran eight times for 20 yards in last week's 20-16 loss at Arizona after gaining 150 yards on 10 carries, including a 32-yard touchdown, in the preseason.
"He flat out just makes plays with his feet," Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. "His eyes are always up (looking downfield when he scrambles)."
Linebacker Anthony Spencer said communication within the front seven will be the key to containing Wilson.
"Knowing what defense he can escape in and understanding the rush lanes, that's going to help us out," Spencer said. "When people aren't open, he's going to run around."
Garrett said, above all else, the Cowboys must guard against underestimating Wilson. Showing impressive composure against the Cardinals, he was 18 of 34 for 153 yards with one TD and one interception.
"He is a rookie, but he doesn't play like a rookie," Garrett said. "He plays very maturely. It looks like he knows what he's doing."
2. Jenkins' debut: Fifth-year cornerback Mike Jenkins is set to return after missing the offseason, preseason and opener while rehabbing from February surgery on his right shoulder. If he can shake off the rust, he'll bolster a revamped secondary that had a strong debut in the 24-17 win over the New York Giants in Week 1.
While aided by a rare case of the drops from Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, new cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne deserve credit for their strong press coverage and tackling against the defending Super Bowl champs. Nickel corner Orlando Scandrick and safeties Gerald Sensabaugh and Barry Church also impressed while helping limit Eli Manning to only 213 passing yards.
A healthy Jenkins showing the form that landed him a Pro Bowl berth in 2009 can't help but make Rob Ryan's defense even stronger. While the club hasn't indicated where it will play Jenkins, speculation has centered on him lining up in the slot because Claiborne has been practicing on the outside.
"I think we'll be tough to deal with," Claiborne said.
3. Bullish backs: With the Cowboys' hard-nosed DeMarco Murray and Seattle's bulldozing Marshawn Lynch carrying the ball, gang tackling will be the order of the day for both defenses.
Murray rushed for 139 yards on 22 carries in a 23-13 win over Seattle last season. Last week against the Giants, he gained 131 yards on 20 attempts as the Cowboys improved their record to 4-0 when the former Oklahoma star hits the century mark.
Look for Seahawks safeties Earl Thomas, a Texas-ex, and Kam Chancellor to cheat down into the box in running situations to help contain Murray.
"They like to make a lot of plays around the line of scrimmage," Garrett said. "They tackle well, and they are physical."
Lynch carried 23 times for 135 yards, including a late 4-yard touchdown run, against Dallas last season. Despite a sore back, he plowed his way to 85 yards on 21 carries in the opener.
The Cowboys' rush defense was excellent against the Giants, holding Ahmad Bradshaw to 78 yards. Garrett is counting on another inspired effort against Lynch, who rushed for 1,204 yards and 12 TDs — both career highs — last season.
"He's a big, physical, productive runner," Garrett said. "He can run inside. He can run outside. He can run around you. He can run over you. He's a big part of what they do. Playing with a young quarterback, he's somebody I know they will rely on for obvious reasons."
Said Spencer, who was strong against the run with seven stops against the Giants: "He's not a guy that will let one arm tackle or one person bring him down. We've got to get everybody to the ball."
4. Special-teams showdown: Leon Washington had a down year in 2011 after scoring on three kickoff returns in 2010, his first year with the Seahawks. But the seventh-year pro got off to a strong start last week, returning a kickoff 83 yards in the third quarter to set up the team's only touchdown and returning a punt 52 yards in the fourth to set up a field goal that gave Seattle a 16-13 lead.
"He's a difference-making player for them," Garrett said. "He can make big plays for them. He's done that throughout his career."
The Cowboys will counter with punter Chris Jones, who had a net average of 51.5 yards against the Giants, and kicker Dan Bailey, who had 24 touchbacks on 67 kickoffs last year but none in the opener. The coverage teams also will be aided by the return of special-teams ace Danny McCray, who sat out the opener with a neck injury, and possibly the addition of newly signed special-teamer LeQuan Lewis.
"You certainly want to limit his opportunities any way you can," Garrett said of Washington. "The kickers and the punters play a big role in this game, no question. But we have to go cover it. There's no expectation we can just take him out of the game by just kicking the ball through the end zone. We've got to get ready to cover well."
5. More disciplined line: When center Phil Costa left the opener with a back injury early in the first quarter, the Cowboys were left with an offensive line in which every member was new to his position.
The result was an undisciplined performance that included five false-start penalties and two delay-of-game infractions. Left tackle Tyron Smith, who had three false starts, said a lack of familiarity with Costa's replacement, Ryan Cook, contributed to the infractions.
Fortunately for the Cowboys, the line had all last week to work together. With Costa still sidelined, Cook will start again at center.
"Everybody's on more of the same page this week," said Smith, who had four false starts as a rookie last season while playing right tackle.
Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, 18 Cowboys teams have started the season 2-0. Sixteen of those squads reached the playoffs. With that in mind, look for Dallas to avoid a letdown while its defense confuses Wilson into committing multiple turnovers.

CLEMSON — During the days, weeks and months spent analyzing this pivotal Georgia-Clemson game to ring in the 2013 season, there have been two consensus ways to poke holes in the case for the Bulldogs.
Inexperience on defense, and the Tigers' significant home-field advantage, work against Georgia. Yet Clemson coaches and players aren't making much of either factor.
First, the defense. It's true, nine "full-time" starters are gone from last year's defense, including seven selected in the NFL draft in April, and just three of the Bulldogs' top 12 tacklers return in 2013.
"Don't buy the lie that I feel sorry for Georgia, because they got a lot of great players," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Tuesday. "They're one of those programs that just reloads, and they've done that in this case."
The top returning defenders for Georgia, which was noted for its stingy second-half defense (7.7 points allowed per second half), are cornerback Damian Swann and outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins. Swann's four interceptions led the Bulldogs last year, and only All-American linebacker Jarvis Jones harassed more quarterbacks than Jenkins (5 sacks, 23 quarterback pressures.)
"I tell you, we're not taking anybody lightly," Clemson left tackle Brandon Thomas said. "They're playing at this level just like we're playing at this level, so they can play. We have to focus on ourselves, and whatever we see in the game, we have to adjust to that."
Then there's the obvious, time-tested advantage of Death Valley. Historically, Clemson has won 73 percent of its home games, including a 26-5 mark in Swinney's four and a half years at the helm.
However, Georgia's been extremely capable on the road since 2001 under Mark Richt: a 41-11 record, including 12-6 against ranked opponents in their own stadium.
"I don't know if they'll be necessarily intimidated, but I think every player coming in the first game of the season is always a little bit nervous, all the unknowns," Clemson linebacker Spencer Shuey said. "I'd be surprised if they weren't nervous as well as excited, just like we are."
Georgia has sometimes been dogged by a reputation it shies away from the big game — a suggestion which cause the normally mild-mannered Richt to spew back at a reporter last December.
Perhaps it was, ironically, in defeat that night — 35-32 to mighty Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, when Georgia came within five yards of scoring the winning touchdowns as time ran out — the Bulldogs proved they had the grit for the moment.
"They were definitely in a position to win that game, and had a great chance to be a national championship contender," Shuey said. "They've been one of the most consistent programs throughout the last decade or so in college football. They have a lot of history, they know how to win those big games."
That gave Shuey an easy transition: in a way, Georgia represents now what Clemson strives for.
"That's the level that Clemson's trying to get to," Shuey said. "Being consistent and winning the big games."
Just as Georgia earned the preseason publicity, Clemson did the same by knocking off LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl last New Year's Eve.
If the Tigers snap their five-game losing streak to Georgia — which is 15-1 against ACC teams under Richt's guidance — Clemson would become the first non-SEC program to defeat two SEC squads ranked in the AP top ten in consecutive games.
"These are programs that are used to a big stage," defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "I wouldn't expect Georgia to come in here and flinch. They'll compete with everything they've got, they'll be confident — they should be.
"But so should we. We've earned that right, and so have they."

text: The Mordin Solus wiki last edited by Yummylee on 05/08/14 06:30AM View full history OverviewMordin encounters his protege, Maelon on TuchankaMordin Solus is the very model of a scientist Salarian. Prior to the events of Mass Effect 2, Mordin was in the Salarian Special Tasks Group, and led the team responsible for creating a modified version of the Krogan genophage. Mordin initially shows little remorse for this action, believing it to be acceptable when logically weighing the consequences. However, though he maintains that it was the most logical course of action, Mordin is ultimately conflicted about the negative effects the genophage has on the Krogan. Though he seems Machiavellian at times, Mordin is firmly against painful experiments on live test subjects. Due to his aforementioned fast speech and the way he talks in sentence fragments, he has been compared by Kelly Chambers to a "hamster on coffee". Mordin, despite his scientific leanings, is very appreciative of art, and used to sing adaptations of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas - much to Shepard's surprise.Mordin, though not a romantic option for Shepard, is quick to offer helpful advice about sexual activity if Shepard is involved with anyone on the ship. For example, when Shepherd romances Garrus Vakarian, Mordin cautions Shepard, saying that she should see him later, as she may need an analgesic for the "chafing." He also forwards an informational booklet with diagrams to Shepard's quarters, regardless of who the Commander is romancing.Mordin has a nephew who, during the events of Mass Effect 2, was tenured at a university at the age of 16, following in the footsteps of the scientist Salarian himself.PowersIncinerateCryo BlastSalarian ScientistNeural Shock (Unlocked when character is loyal)VoiceMordin Solus is voiced by Michael Beattie during Mass Effect 2, and William Salyers during Mass Effect 3. Mark Meer, best known as the voice of male Commander Shepard, also voiced Mordin for Mass Effect 3's demo.

Speculation had claimed that Hummels would be heading to the Spanish champions and that Dortmund had lined up Freiburg youngster Matthias Ginter as his replacement.
Dortmund stated last week that reports claiming Hummels had been given permission to join Barcelona in a near £30million deal were 'pure nonsense'.
The Germany international, who is under contract at Dortmund until 2017, has also now brushed off the rumours.
"There is no truth in these stories," Hummels told Sky Deutschland. "Of course, every now and then there are bits of reports. That's the same about other players too.
"Today, I read about [Ilkay] Gundogan and Thomas Muller going to Barcelona. He went to the city of Barcelona to have dinner. This just happens, and then you are getting linked to a move.
"Then, there are some people claiming they are in touch with Barcelona. And they tell the media about it.
"We did experience that back in April. Three days later, this was written in a newspaper."
He added of the rumours: "Borussia Dortmund did not know anything, we did not know anything. It's just a story because someone started to care about the rumour."

Issue 224's Sonic Generations review let me down a lot. Tim Turi is oviosly a good writer but this review is just mind boggeling. 6.75 is nothing I expected. This review is completly based on opinion, not fact. Isn't that what the reviews are suppost to be? Apairently not for Sonic! Just because in the past 5 years Sonic didn't really have any good games ( he did actually ) doesn't mean you just assume that this game sucks! GI should let someone else review this game, heck how about all of them. Tim is oviously to harsh on Sonic, somebody do something!
All reviews of any form of media are based primarily on opinion, that's why the same game can get different review scores from different publications or reviewing sites. If all reviews were based on "facts" then you'd expect every review for a game to say the exact same thing. Variety is the spice of life, not everyone's going to feel the same way about a given game.
Its just that Tim Turi's reviews are always negative about Sonic. All he thinks about are the games that failed. he then bases his opinion on every new Sonic game. What should I do, or what can you do?
Tim Turi is one of the most obsessive Sonic fans on the planet. He knows the series inside and out. If even HE didn't like it, well, it's simply not up to par.
Besides, 6.75 isn't even a bad score. Check GI's review system and you'll see that a 7 is average. A 6.75 is just the tiniest notch below average, indicating a game with limited appeal that not everyone will enjoy. It's not considered a bad game until you get down to 5.
Just because you may have expected a game to score higher doesn't mean it deserves to. There are plenty of other, more positive reviews out there to pull up the Metascore. If it really bothers you so much, go check out the glowing 9.1 review WorthPlaying.com gave it.
Thanks. I'm a huge Sonic fan so i guess I was just mad cause he's never gave a high review for Sonic. I was sick of one bad review after another. I guess Tim will never learn to love Sonic again.
I still love Generations though.
Remimber, sonic was and maybe still the game everyone loves to play, I know i did for at least 5 years
I enjoyed Generations too, but a critic is entitled to his/her opinion as are you so just let it go and enjoy the game.
I will say that Generations is definitely a step in the right direction for both Sega and Sonic though.
I personally hated Generations, and what good games has Sonic had in the last five years?
I need a catchphrase.
Is there such thing as a good Sonic game?
check out my blog!
Rainheart, I'll never forget you.
Is there such thing as a good Sonic game?
That's unfortunate, I definitely didn't start paying attention until after 01... So now all Sonic is to me: a hedgehog who turns into a hairier one in the full moonlight.
Ps your signature video is amazing!

If you can't prove it… lie?December 22nd, 2007
Now I find this to be just a bit funny, in a sort of ironic way. I posted this thread back a while ago in which I responded to a homeopathic practitioner about the whole issue of homeopathy. Between I said and my readers posted, it seemed that "Doctor" Sunil Sharma was looking rather bad, failing to post much in the way of proof and being generally rather vague about the "proof" of homeopathy. However, soon there were some who fell on the side of homeopathy. Jenni, Pjmilli, VKN and others started posting. Even a woman and her daughter (Paula and Cathy) showed up. It turns out Cathy is her daughter and practices homeopathy in the US. Another "doctor" showed up too and before long India, the US and Canada were all represented.
But I took a look at the comments recently and noticed something strange. You might want to look at this image of screenshots from the admin page on this blog and you'll notice something rather strange for a group which hails from all over the world. They all have very similar IP addresses. They all start off with 59.178 andgenerally the third group has higher numbers which are over about 90. It would seem that these are all from the same IP group, possibly the same ISP and definitely the same internet backbone.
Here's a lookup of one of the IP's which shows that indeed this whole range is part of the same group:
More importantly, they all get the same geographic trace. Click to enlarge:
So what we have here is a bunch of IP addresses which are all from the Asia Pacific internet region and all are registered to an Indian ISP located in New Delhi. They're also "dynamic" which means that you get a different IP address each time you log on to the net. This is common in dialup and some DSL service. But they are all from the same ISP and as it turns out, this ISP only serves a relatively small area of India.
Thus, whoever has posted these coments must either be getting their service through this ISP or perhaps is bouncing off of a proxy server on the ISP. But using a proxy server seems unlikely. None of the traces detected one, so if it is a proxy it must be one that is does not report to be so and is not public. Since the IP address is different each time it also seems unlikely. Even the same poster seems to have a different IP address each time, so the only conclusion which can be drawn is that what we have here is a group of individuals (or perhaps one individual) who have dynamic IP addresses all from the same ISP and all located in Delhi India.
It should be noted that the email addresses also seem to be from the free services. Paula and Cathy have the same email address, but I guess maybe mother and daughter share it, although that still does seem a tad bit unlikely. It's possible that the two "Doctors" just happen to be both in the same part of India, but the only explanation for all the others would be that they're all traveling in the same part of the country and are not home in the US, Canada or elsewhere. Or… maybe they're "sock puppets"… just maybe.
But would a homeopath ever resort to such desperate and dishonest measures to defend homeopathy? (Um.. I think so) Actually, it makes me feel kinda important to think that someone would go to so much trouble. I mean, this blog gets a decent number of readers but not *that* many.
So who is the dishonest, selfish one here?

Among the gazillion other things I would have said in life pre blog, one of them is that whites should remain firmly in the summer section of the closet. All it took was a few clicks around the glorious cyber world where anything is possible and I was instantly converted to winter whites.
Translating the theory from the glossy inspirational imagery of Tumblr and Pinterest to the reality of a How To post is a another matter. I think in most instances the white should be more of an off white or ivory – whilst that doesn't make for a pretty post title, it does make the look instantly more wearable.
I would wear white on the top half only, although that doesn't stop me gazing longingly at the frothy skirt worn by the woman getting into a cab in picture above. Perhaps in another life. Meanwhile here are two looks I would happily wear…
Michael Kors double-breasted melton wool peacoat – Net-A-Porter, Mango patch pocket off-white shirt – John Lewis, Goldsign Misfit straight leg jeans – Net-A-Porter, Marc by Marc Jacobs nude Too Hot To Handle leather tote – My Wardrobe, Marlo fur lined biker boots – Topshop
Mix white with other neutrals – these Goldsign Misfit jeans in grey and the Marc by Marc Jacobs nude tote look great with white. And if anyone can make white look luxurious it's Michael Kors – that peacoat is a dream of a jacket.

HARTLEY -- One man is in the Dallam-Hartley County Jail tonight after deputies estimate he fired 20 shots in Hartley this morning.
The Hartley County Sheriffs office say they got a call about 47-year-old Steven Bowermaster shooting a gun in a Hartley neighborhood.
Deputies believe that Bowermaster shot two cars as they were driving down White Street and a third victim says he shot at her when she stepped out of her house to see what was going on.

No worries, Once Upon a Pie has not closed it's doors - things have just been rather busy for this pie ho! Hope to have some new outfit posts up soon, but in the mean time I had to share one of the Birthday gifts I just received from my best friend:
A bee lotion bar from Honey House Naturals. The packaging has me swooning; looks like it could have come straight from Betty's Bee's!
On top of that, it smells lovely and feels divine. This stuff is going to save my hands this winter.

I'm so glad you liked the bee stuff! I thought of you immediately when I saw the packaging.
That stuff is the only thing that keeps the webs of my fingers from cracking in the winter. Srsly it is the best I've ever tried!

Makoun has spent this season on loan with Rennes and the French club have taken up their option to sign the 29-year-old for an undisclosed fee.
The Cameroonian joined Villa in January 2011 from Lyon after being signed by Gerard Houllier, but struggled to make an impact in the Premier League.
He was shipped out by Houllier's successor Alex McLeish to Olympiakos on loan last term and he failed to catch current manager Paul Lambert's eye upon his appointment last summer.
Makoun cost Villa £6million and he will leave the club after making just seven league appearances and one in the League Cup.

Volume #2 of Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree is here!
Remember comic books' future king Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree last year? We were pretty excited to learn that the deeply detailed history of hip hop was going to be published in comic book form by Fantagraphics, and news that the second volume is about to drop has us going as much as the first did. Volume #2 covers years 1981 to 1983, when RUN-DMC, NWA and the Beastie Boys are arriving on the scene, in the same faultlessly retro detail as #1 did.
Ed actually uploads new pages to Boing Boing as he draws them too, which is just the best treat going. "They say the story of Jesus is the greatest ever told," MTV say in praise for the book, "but JC didn't steal a DJ mixer during the New York Blackout of '77 or bomb a subway car with Fab Five Freddy." Which is a claim we believe to be true. You can pre-order it here now.

Shakespeare Monologue & Scene Contest
From 75 contestants the first year to over 1,000 participants this past season, the Shakespeare contest has become a much anticipated annual event.
This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to experience the excitement of live performance while learning the works of William Shakespeare. The contest is open to students in grades 4-12. Students may enter the monologue, scene or both portions of the contest in either the upper division (grades 8-12) or the lower division (grades 4-7).
Coaching sessions are conducted in January and February in the schools and at the O'Reilly Theater. Contestants present their pieces on the Public's main stage in front of a panel of judges, and those who advance to the final round of the contest have the opportunity to perform at the Showcase of Finalists.
All participants receive a contest t-shirt and a voucher for two complimentary tickets to a Public Theater production. The Public also offers free orientation sessions for first-time participating teachers and their students.
- Monologues should be 25-60 lines long.
- Scenes should not exceed 5 minutes. (Please adhere to this frequently overlooked guideline!)
- Monologues and scenes must be memorized.
- Prompting of any kind is not permitted.
- All scene performers must be active participants.
- Costumes and props are to be kept to a minimum, and set pieces are discouraged.
Judging Criteria for Scenes and Monologues
- Understanding of the text
- Emotional connectedness
- Character development
- Physical and vocal performance
- Pacing and the interaction amongst the actors in a scene
Suggested Monologues and Scenes
Over the years of conducting the Shakespeare Monologue & Scene Contest, we have assembled a list of suggested scenes and monologues that work well with student performers: some of them well-known, some less so. We recommend that you take a close look at this list when choosing a scene or monologue to present for the contest.
The list of course is not exhaustive. You may also choose a scene or monologue that is not listed here. In your search, look closely for selections that fit our length and time requirements. A good scene or monologue has a clear beginning, middle and end. It's obviously part of the overall play, but it's important that it can stand on its own as a performance piece. In addition, think about a monologue as a speech that a character delivers to a silent or absent listener. This character may want to share her feelings at that moment, or to explain what he thinks about what has happened so far in the action.
Do you have a great idea for a Shakespearean scene or monologue that should be added to our list? Let us know!

What People are Saying about the Shakespeare Monologue & Scene Contest
"Students sometimes view Shakespeare as remarkably dull and inaccessible. But Shakespeare Competition participants know better. They search out the perfect scene: the drunken sandbag dual, the washed ashore coffin containing an undead beauty, bad actors putting on a play to impress royalty. Then they bring that scene to life, filling the characters with quirks and peccadilloes, defining action (swordfights, swoons, stumbles, the arched eyebrow, the pregnant pause), then action with words, well-enunciated words that can actually be heard by the judges. It's creative. It requires teamwork. It's a whole lot of fun, and not for the faint of heart." - Peg Boyd, Parent
"The staff's commitment to introducing Shakespeare to a younger generation is enormously inspiring. The individual attention paid to each and every performance [during the contest] is remarkable. Kids develop an appreciation for classical theater, and they enjoy it. I've gained wonderful memories, friendships, and performance opportunities that I will never forget." - Lara Hillier, Shakespeare Contest Participant and Four-Time Winner
"The Shakespeare Monologue & Scene Contest has been, without doubt, the highlight of my entire theater experience in junior high and high school. I have learned more about the performing arts from my participation in the program than from any other source. Pittsburgh Public Theater dedicates a lot of time and effort to the education of young people." - Simon Brown, Shakespeare Contest Participant and Winner
"To be able to get up and perform on the amazing O'Reilly stage is a cool thing all by itself. But then you add Shakespeare to that! Although the language is old, Shakespeare could never get old--not when the stories are still relevant and there are kids like me participating in the Shakespeare competition. This competition is a wonderful opportunity for students to truly try something new." - Meggie Booth, Shakespeare Contest Participant

Weiner to New York Post: I Will Not Resign
Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., said on Thursday that despite his initial dishonesty about the sexual messages he sent, he is now being "completely honest" and will not resign, according to a recent video posted on the New York Post's website.
(RELATED: Democrats Calling for Weiner to Step Down)
"I've betrayed a lot of people and I know it, and I'm trying to get back to work now," Weiner said.
Weiner faces mounting criticism over sexually explicit messages he sent to women via social media sites, including an image of his crotch sent through Twitter and lewd conversations he had over Facebook.
(RELATED: List of Democrats Calling for Weiner's Resignation)
Weiner initially said his account had been hacked and that he could not say for certain if the photo of a man in his underwear was him. On Monday, Weiner said in a press conference that the photo was of him and he sent it.
(RELATED: Possible Successors Eyeing Weiner's Seat)
Weiner was asked if there are more photos of him on the Internet.
"As I said at the press conference Monday, I exchanged inappropriate things with people and I think I'm now going to deal with those consequences. I was completely honest on Monday after I hadn't been for a while," Weiner said.
The interviewer asked how he felt about the reports that his wife, Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is pregnant.
Walking away, Weiner said, "I have no comment on that."

Is there a time limit on selling items to merchants in game? Sold my bit and now everything is filled. Trying to find out if it is a bug or if it is timed so you can only sell so much per a set time period. Asking in game was rather hopeless.
EDIT: Nvm topic, the merchant setup is just odd
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Professional Ratings: 93 Wine Enthusiast, 93 Wine & Spirits, 90 The Wine Advocate
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Varietal: Riesling
Alcohol By Volume: 11%
Item no. 118664
The 2011 Eroica Riesling exhibits aromas and flavors of white peach, grapefruit and sweet lime with subtle mineral notes. The mouth-watering acidity is beautifully balanced by flavorful Washington Riesling fruit. After more than a decade, the winery has truly found the "Eroica style," striving for beautiful bright fruit with crisp acidity and enhanced mineralilty.
Complex and compelling, this has a luscious mix of fruits that run the Riesling gamut. It's creamy and textural, fresh and primary, with exceptional aging potential and fine, juicy, natural acidity. Cellar Selection
Eroica in a cool vintage is driven by energy and freshness more than fruit, the acidity providing a cool, angular intensity. In this 2011, scents of peach and honeysuckle give way to stone fruit flavors that feel clean and pure, buoyed by a minerality that keeps the wine en pointe. A tremendous success in a vintage that required care and a sophisticated approach to viticulture.
For thoughts on Chateau Ste Michelle's uniqueness and recent evolution, consult my extensive April, 2013 text designed to introduce recent tasting notes. The Ste Michelle-Loosen 2011 Riesling Eroica is scented with lime, apple blossom, clover, honeydew and mint, and gushes with juicy honeydew and apple fruit, its vivacity and (at 11% alcohol) levity reflecting the long, cool growing season including a summer without the usual hundred-degree heat spikes. But for all of that vivacity and lift, this Riesling is also downright lush, making for a refreshingly sorbet-like, metaphorically cooling impression. Its sweetness – at 22 grams – is perfectly judged to support the fruit but not be obvious or get in the way of the wine's versatility. While not hugely complex, it's irresistible and impressively persistent, with hints of salt and stone suggesting the basis for future call-and-response.

A strain relief device is disclosed which is adapted to receive wires which extend into an aperture of a service box. The device comprises a structure formed of a cylindrical segment and a conical segment. The cylindrical segment is disposed at the base of the conical segment and each of the segments is hollow. At least one section line, and preferably two, is disposed through the side wall of the structure. The section line extends from the top of the conical segment to the bottom of the cylindrical segment, whereby the segments are split into two sections. An abutment is disposed on the structure which is arranged to urge against the perimeter of the aperture in the service box. The two sections are joined together with a collar which is disposed around the cylindrical segment and co-acts with the abutment to hold the device in the aperture.
1. A strain relief device adapted to receive wires which extend into an aperture of a service box, said device comprising:
a molded plastic structure formed of a cylindrical segment and a conical segment, said cylindrical segment being disposed at the base of said conical segment, each of said segments being hollow;
abutment means disposed on said structure, said abutment means arranged to urge against the perimeter of the aperture in said service box;
at least one section line disposed through a sidewall of said structure, said section line extending from the top of said conical segment to the bottom of said cylindrical segment and through said abutment means, whereby said member is split into at least two sections;
a molded plastic collar joining said sections together, said collar being disposed around said structure and co-acting with said abutment means to hold said device in said aperture, said collar being formed of two portions, the insides of said portions being adapted to urge against said cylindrical segment of said structure;
a land molded on the inner of said collar;
a channel molded on the outer side of said cylindrical segment, said channel having a spiral configuration;
a step molded on the end of said channel, said land being arranged to be disposed in said channel, whereby when said land is disposed in said channel and said collar is twisted, the land will enter said step, and the two sections of said structure are urged together and locked with the yielding action of the molded plastic.
2. The strain relief device according to claim 1 wherein there are at least two section lines disposed through the sidewall of said structure whereby said device can be opened into two separable sections.
3. The strain relief device according to claim 1 further including a series of peripheral ribs disposed on the external surface of said conical segment, whereby to provide indicia for the locations of the incremental inner diameter of said conical segment and indicate points at which the strain relief device can be cut to provide predetermined inner diameters of the conical segment of said device, said ribs also forming ridges for securing a cable tie or other locking mechanisms to said structure.
4. The strain relief device according to claim 1 further including means joining the halves of the collar together.
The present invention relates to a device to aid in installing a wire cable in a service box, and more particularly, to a device which will accept a variety of cables of different diameters and fixedly secure any of them in the service box. The invention especially relates to a device used to dispose telephone wire cable in telephone service boxes.
In the past, many devices have been used to install cables through apertures in service boxes. Such devices have included nuts with flanges that are tightened into a hole in the service box. These devices frequently have adjustable clamps that engage the cable to fixedly secure them in the box and prevent accidental removal. Other devices have included connectors that are threaded around the cable and then tightened after the devices have been inserted into the hole. Also, the art has used plastic devices that surround the cable and serve as wedges between the cable and the hole.
According to the present invention, I have devised a strain relief device that can be used with either new cables or those that have already been placed in service. The strain relief device of the present invention can be installed even though the cables are already connected to terminals in the service box. Thus, the device of the present invention can be used when the installer is working with either new or existing cables being installed in new or existing service boxes.
The strain relief device, according to the present invention, is adapted to receive cables which extend into an aperture in the service box. The device is a structure formed of a cylindrical segment and a conical segment both of which are hollow, the cylindrical segment being disposed on and integrally attached to the base of the conical segment. The wall thickness of the conical segment is substantially uniform throughout its entire length. At least one section line, and preferably two, is disposed through the side walls of the device. The section line extends parallel or substantially parallel to the axis of the device, or at least is arranged to bifurcate the device into two sections. A rigid abutment is integrally disposed around the cylindrical segment of the strain relief device and is arranged to urge against the perimeter of the aperture in the service box into which the cable passes. A collar is disposed about the cylindrical segment of the strain relief device and preferably is formed of a pair of semi-circular members which snap together and engage the cylindrical segment to hold the device together. In another embodiment, the semi-circular members forming the collar can be bound together with a conventional cable tie.
In a preferred embodiment, the apex of the conical section is arranged so that it can be cut off to expose an aperture which is identical in diameter to the outside diameter of the cable that is disposed in it. With cables having small outside diameters, only the tip of the conical segment needs to be cut off and for larger diameter cables, the cut may be made nearer to the base of the conical segment thereby providing a larger opening for the cable.
Preferably, a series of rings are disposed on the conical segment and spaced so that the installer will know where to cut the conical segment to provide an opening which is appropriate to the outer diameter of the cable being installed. These rings also provide a location to place a conventional cable tie which will secure the two sections of the strain relief device together. Moreover, indicia can be imprinted upon the spaces between the ribs to show the points at which the conical segment can be cut to provide a specific inside diameter.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the strain relief device according to the present invention. The device is shown as having a cable disposed within it.
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the strain relief device according to the present invention opened to receive a cable.
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the collar that is used in the preferred embodiment to secure the two sections of the strain relief device together.
FIG. 4 is an exploded view showing an alternative embodiment of the collar shown in FIG. 3.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the device of the present invention includes a structure formed of a cylindrical segment 1 and a conical segment 3. A section line 5 splits the device into at least two sections A and B. In one embodiment the sections A and B can be joined by a so-called "living hinge". In the preferred embodiment, however, a second section line (not shown in FIG. 1) splits the device into two distinct sections so that the device can be laid apart easily, although one section line will in many cases accomplish the same task.
Both the cylindrical segment 1 and the conical segment 3 are hollow, and at least the conical segment 1 is of a substantially uniform wall thickness. An abutment 7 is integrally disposed around the cylindrical segment 1, as a molded portion thereof. The abutment 7 urges against a wall W by means of a collar 9 that is in the shape of a ring. The collar 9 encircles the two sections of the cylindrical portion. Preferably, the collar 9 is formed of two portions that snap fit together (as shown in FIGS. 3 or 4) and when so snap fitted, will detachably secure the sections A and B together.
In the preferred embodiment, a peripherally molded set of flats 11 is provided in the cylindrical segment 1 to enable an installer to grasp the device with a wrench or by hand and keep it in place as it is being worked on. The flats 11 are preferably disposed immediately adjacent the abutment 7 for convenience of the installer.
The conical segment 3 disposed at the end of the cylindrical segment 1 has a series of peripheral ribs 17 that extend outwardly from the wall. A series of indicia, such as 1.5, 1.25, 1.00, 0.75, 0.5, and 0.25 are disposed on the outside of the conical segment 3 and indicate (in inches) the mouth diameter M (that is, the inner diameter of the opening of the conical segment 3 at that point). The indicia indicate the thickness of the cable C that can be fitted in the mouth M. Thus, the installer needs only to identify the cable diameter and cut off a portion of the conical segment 3 at a location near a rib 17 which corresponds to the cable diameter, thereby securing a firm engagement between the cable C and the strain relief device.
The two sections A and B can then be fitted together around the cable C. In the illustrated embodiment, the cable C is already threaded through the wall W and a conventional cable tie T can be secured around the sections A and B. When completed, the collar 9 can be snapped in place when the abutment 7 is urged against the wall W. A wrench may be used to engage the flats 9a that are formed around the periphery of the collar 9, whereby the collar 9 can be twisted and engage the wall W and tighten the device in place, as will be further explained later.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, the two sections A and B are shown spaced from each other and arranged to receive a cable. As can be seen, the side wall of the conical segment 3 is fairly uniform in thickness from the apex (at M) to the base where the conical segment 3 meets the cylindrical segment 1. A small ridge 19a is disposed on the section line 5 (with a corresponding groove on the opposite side of the section line) to aid in aligning the sections A and B and securing a rigid interplacement.
A channel 15 is disposed on the outside of the cylindrical segment. The channel 15 is spiral in shape with one end of the channel terminating in an entryway 15a and the other end terminating in a step 15b. Identical channels of the spiral shape are disposed on each of the sections A and B. The channel 15 is arranged to receive a land 10 that is disposed on the inner wall of the collar 9. The land 10 is arranged to fit into the entryway 15a and upon twisting the collar 9 relative to the cylindrical segment 1, it will rotate gradually until it engages the wall W (shown in FIG. 1). Upon a final twist, the land 10 will enter the step 15b whereby it will be seated.
To allow for the use of a wrench, the collar 9 has flats 9a and 9c that will enable the collar 9 to be torqued against the wall W. The two channels 15 (one on each section A and B) together with two lands 10, are offset from each by 180�.
As shown in FIG. 3, the inner radius 9b of the collar 9 corresponds to the outer diameter of the cylindrical segment 1, whereby the collar 9 will freely turn around the cylindrical segment 1. In the preferred embodiment, collar 9 is formed of two mating halves. A locking arm 12 with a locking step 12a fits into a channel lock 12c and the channel lock 12d to fasten the halves together. A pair of pins 16a fit into receiving holes 16b formed on the mating faces of a collar 9.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the two halves of the collar 31 can be made without the locking arm and step shown in FIG. 3, but rather with a groove 30 around the perimeter of both halves. A pair of pins 30c fit into receiving holes 30d formed on the mating faces of the collar 31. A conventional cable tie (not shown) can then be disposed in the groove 30 to fasten the two halves together by passing the cable tie around both halves and tightening. With this embodiment, an opening 30a is preferably provided to allow the cable tie to be cut when it is necessary to remove the strain relief device from the servie box in which it is installed.
It is apparent that modifications and changes can be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention, but it is my intention, however, only to be limited by the scope of the following claims.

Boeing technical workers' ballots due by March 18
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace said Friday that ballots are scheduled for mailing by next Thursday and will be due by March 18.
The union has said it's disappointied the offer does not provide pensions for new employees. They would have a 401(k) retirement plan instead.
However, the union says accepting the company's last offer would lock in "considerable improvements" achieved since the company's initial offer.
The 7,400 technical workers have already given their union strike authorization.
The 15,500 engineers represented by the same union approved a four-year Boeing contract in ballots tallied Feb. 19.

By the President: [signed] W.H. Harrison
[signed] Danl Webster Secretary of State"
Justice Story's Endorsement
"City of Washington – for – on this eighth day of March In the year of our Lord one thousand and eight hundred & forty one personally appeared the within named John J. Crittenden & took & subscribed the oaths prescribed by the Constitution & Laws of the United States upon his acceptance of the office of Attorney General under the within commission.
Before me Joseph Story one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the U States.
Historical Background
William Henry Harrison (1773-1841), ninth president of the United States, was one of the most important figures in the early westward expansion of the United States. Harrison served under "Mad" Anthony Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, which ended the Northwest Indian War. After resigning from the Army in 1798, Harrison had became Secretary of the Northwest Territory, was its first delegate to Congress, and helped obtain legislation dividing the Territory into the Northwest and Indiana Territories. He then served as Territorial Governor of Indiana from 1801-1813. In 1811, Harrison fought the Shawnee tribe led by Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa (also known as "the Prophet"). The Shawnees planned a surprise attack near the Tippecanoe River in Indiana, but Harrison defeated the force, earning the nickname "Old Tippecanoe" in the process. He again defeated the Shawnees with their British allies at the Battle of the Thames in 1813. Harrison was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1824.
When he was inaugurated in 1841, he was the oldest president, maintaining that record until Ronald Reagan took office in 1981. He was also the last president born before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In addition to ten children with his wife Anna Tuthill Symmes, he also fathered six children with his slave, Dilsia. Future NAACP leader Walter White descended from one of these children. Harrison gave four of the "bastard" children to his brother when he ran for president.[1] Harrison's death from pneumonia after 30 days in office makes his tenure the shortest of all the presidents.
John J. Crittenden (1786 – 1863) served in the Kentucky House of Representatives, the U.S. House and Senate, as Governor of Kentucky, and U.S. attorney general twice—first under William Henry Harrison and then under Millard Fillmore. Throughout his lengthy political career, Crittenden was dedicated to compromise, accommodation, and union.
In the presidential election of 1824, Andrew Jackson won the popular and electoral votes, but did not reach a clear majority of the electoral college, thus throwing the election into the House of Representatives. Crittenden supported fellow Kentuckian Henry Clay, who came in fourth. Crittenden then shifted his support to Andrew Jackson. Clay, the Speaker of the House, unexpectedly led his supporters (including Crittenden) to vote for Adams. Elected to the presidency by the House, Adams appointed Clay as Secretary of State, in what many called "the corrupt bargain." In 1827, Adams named Crittenden the U.S. district attorney for Kentucky, and in 1828, nominated him for the U.S. Supreme Court. However, Jackson's Senatorial allies blocked Crittenden's high court appointment, and when Jackson won the presidency, he immediately removed Crittenden as Kentucky District Attorney.
Crittenden regrouped, serving in the Kentucky House, but stepped aside several times to advance Clay's political goals. Crittenden helped organize the Whig party, and was elected to the Senate in 1834. There, Crittenden was considered a moderate on slavery, rejecting abolitionist petitions to ban slavery in the District of Columbia but also rejecting South Carolina Senator John C. Calhoun's proposed ban on mailing abolitionist literature. After campaign for William Henry Harrison in 1840, Crittenden was appointed Attorney General (by the document offered here).
After Harrison died suddenly and John Tyler became president, Crittenden was among the Whigs who resigned from the Cabinet in protest of Tyler's bank bill vetoes. Crittenden returned to the Senate in 1842, but left in 1848 to run successfully for governor of Kentucky. Arguments over slavery grew more heated as post-Mexican War territorial gains added to slave territory, leading to Northern attempts to counter by attempting to limit slavery. Rather than continuing to view slavery as Jefferson and many founding fathers did- as a necessary evil that would eventually disappear - , robust defenses of the institution as a positive good sprung from some politicians' mouths. John C. Calhoun challenged southern states to resist northern attempts at abolition, again threatening secession. Crittenden condemned the idea, and the Kentucky state Senate reaffirmed its commitment to the Union.
In 1850, Crittenden resigned the governorship to become Attorney General for the second time, under Millard Fillmore, another slavery-friendly president from the North. In this position, Crittenden assured Fillmore that the Fugitive Slave Act was constitutional. Fillmore signed the bill, protecting the "the Great Pacificator" Henry Clay's Compromise of 1850. During the 1850s, he was dismayed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act's repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
Crittenden helped organize the Constitutional Union Party, running candidate John Bell against Lincoln, Douglas, and Breckenridge in the election of 1860. After Lincoln's election, Crittenden proposed a series of six constitutional amendments aiming to placate the South by permanently protect slavery where it existed, redrawing the Missouri Compromise line of 36° 30' all the way to the Pacific Ocean, forbidding abolition in certain cases, protecting the slave trade, compensating slave owners for costs associated with returning fugitives, and allowing slaveholders to sue anyone assisting runaway slaves. Most onerously, the "Crittenden Compromise" stated no future amendment or act of Congress could interfere with slavery. Popular in the South, it was still not enough to prevent the secession of eleven states.
After Crittenden's compromise failed, he returned to Kentucky and attempted to prevent the state from seceding. When Governor Beriah Magoffin refused Lincoln's requested for troops to help quell the rebellion, Crittenden remained pro-Union, even though it was against the southern-sympathizing governor's position. Crittenden chaired a May 1861 convention, called by the Kentucky General Assembly, to decide a position, but in the absence of a full delegation (and the onset of war), it accomplished little beyond supporting the position of neutrality already established by the General Assembly and calling on the other southern states to reconsider secession.
Neutrality remained difficult, as both sides in Kentucky jockeyed for position. Lincoln reputedly claimed that while he hoped to have god on his side, "I must have Kentucky." He wrote in a September 1861 letter to Illinois Republican Orville Browning that "I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.... We would as well consent to separation at once, including the surrender of the capital."
It is ironic that the man who confirmed Crittenden's Constitutional oath to the office of Attorney General was a steadfast opponent of slavery, while the two presidents (Fillmore, Harrison) who appointed Crittenden were one from the North, the other the South, were both pro (or at least sympathetic) to slavery.
Joseph Story (1779 – 1845) a Marblehead, Massachusetts, lawyer, became the youngest associate justice of the Supreme Court when he named to the bench in 1811. His book, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), was the first major legal work on the U.S. Constitution and is still considered a touchstone of American Constitutional law. Although points of law forced him to uphold many proslavery laws, Story is most famous for his decisions in the Amistad case, which freed the illegally-captured Africans, and Martin v. Hunter's Lessee, a Virginia case regarding confiscation of Loyalist property that asserted the Supreme Court's authority to review Constitutional issues raised in state courts. Story was a champion of protecting property rights, admiralty law, and patent law. He generally agreed with Chief Justice John Marshall, but disagreed with Marshall's successor, Roger B. Taney, especially on the issue of slavery.
Daniel Webster (1782 – 1852) Senator Daniel Webster was an influential Whig leader from Massachusetts. He is typically grouped with the "Great Triumvirate," along with Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun, as one of the most powerful statesmen in antebellum America. He served as Secretary of State under William Henry Harrison and John Tyler, and ran thrice, unsuccessfully, for president. A staunch Unionist, his support was critical to the passage of the Compromise of 1850.
