Most people love the 55-mile-long Sonoma County coast for its pristine beaches, amazing wildlife, accessible hiking trails and quaint towns.

LOS ANGELES — Eric Jackson realizes a lot of people aren't taking him seriously at the moment.

"I was a consumer of the NFL product," Jackson said Friday in a phone interview.

VATICAN CITY — The cardinals electing a new pope to lead the Catholic Church left the Sistine Chapel exhausted and hungry. A meditation to start the conclave had dragged on and pushed their first vote deep into Wednesday evening. It had resulted in an inconclusive tally, with three main contenders. Keeping their vow of secrecy, they returned to Casa Santa Marta, the guesthouse where they were sequestered without their phones, and started talking.
Sonoma County has gone bonkers for Dubai chocolate. Here’s where to find it

Some customers use the baklava as a shortcut, Rozhkova explained. By cutting it up and adding it to a cup of whipped cream and fresh strawberries, they can create a semi-homemade version of the popular Dubai chocolate strawberry cups.

Older Americans are increasingly repelled by this guy.
