Sounders can at least say they put themselves in position to win.
Chance creation is a solid way to judge future results, but unfortunately for the Sounders goals scored is the result that matters. Leg two was a great performance and poor result.
Down a crucial away goal the Seattle Sounders have to score a goal to even grant themselves the possibility of victory. They likely need more than one goal.
With the CONCACAF Champions League being the only game on tonight's schedule "The Daily" gives Seattle strong attention. This includes a report from Torreon.
Today's links post is all about Champions League, because that's what you are. Champions is what you are - Major Link Soccer will stay the name.
Let's take a trip down memory lane and remember the squad that beat Monterrey in Monterrey.
The odds are against Seattle. The season is a series of down notes. But there is a path to victory and history. We have seen hope. It is time for hope and heroes.
As the Seattle Sounders fly charter down to Torreon they will do so with questions as to how fit a few players are.
Yes, the First Team is off this weekend but there is still plenty of non-MLS action that Seattle Sounders should watch.
Was it maybe ill-advised to rile up Herculez Gomez? Sure. But was it "over the line"? Please.
All the data you'll need to relive the Sounders' 1-0 loss to Santos Laguna.
Affiliate photographer Jane G captured the essence of a game that was entertaining even in the losing effort.
Having not won a match in league play, the Sounders shook up their lineup in a 1-0 Champions League loss to Santos Laguna. Sigi Schmid's new-look team may not have won, but it took a step forward...
Seattle runs out a new formation after benching several previous starters. The new formation looked better, but it was not good enough as Santos Laguna's counter continued to punish the Sounders....
Leg one of the two leg series kicks off shortly after 7 PM tonight in CenturyLink Field. Whether you are watching live in the stadium or at home join us for instant reaction and analysis. As usual...
Santos Laguna pushed the Dynamo aside in the quarterfinals. What can we learn from that contest?
At 7PM on Tuesday night the Sounders will return to play with their earned diversion from the MLS regular season. Unfortunately their CONCACAF Champions League match is against one of the two or...
Saturday's loss leaves a bitter taste, but there is no time to recover. There is only time to focus and move forward with the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League just days away.
Michael Gspurning will miss leg one against Santos. Lund and Fairclough talk. Updating injuries and the appearance of some Spring Breakers.
In order to help Seattle prepare for the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal against Santos Laguna the April 7th game against Chivas USA was moved to Wednesday September 4th.
The CONCACAF Champions League semifinal matchup will be in Seattle for leg one and Torreon for leg two.
Not much can be taken from a match played up a man for so long, but there are a couple of lessons for future matches.
With Santos Laguna overcoming their leg one deficit the Sounders will get a rematch, but with higher stakes.
Highlights that fuse local radio and national TV. Statistics that don't seem as good as they should, except for that little goals scored thing. A quote sheet to rule them all. Relive history.
Three big goals - each bigger than the last - powered Seattle Sounders FC past their CCL foes Tigres UANL. DeAndre Yedlin and Djimi Traore both scored their first goals for the Sounders and Eddie...

The word "natural" is not regulated by the FDA, but we believe we have an ethical commitment to adhere to the spirit of natural through committing to the following core principles:
Genetically Modified Organisms pose a huge risk to our food supply because they are largely unregulated and untested in the US. Many countries have banned, or require explicit labeling of, GMO products. If you are not buying foods that are Non-GMO Project Verified, most likely GMOs are present at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
And, unfortunately, many popular children's snack (like cookies!) contain large amounts of high-risk ingredients. It's for this reason that we are committed to Non-GMO ingredients for Liz Lovely Cookies. We are in the process of obtaining Non-GMO Project verification for our products and sources to ensure that we are meeting the standards.
In 2009, we began having trouble getting our hands on key organic ingredients from the suppliers we trust. In order to stay organic, we were forced to make compromises and buy from alternative suppliers, often to the detriment of product quality.
Then in 2010, it became necessary to switch from chocolate produced on shared equipment to 100% dairy free chocolate made on a dedicated dairy free production line. There is a shortage of 100% dairy free chocolate that is also organic, and the prices are significantly higher. Like 10x higher.
In order to make the safest, highest quality product possible, we found it necessary in 2010 to leave the Certified Organic program. While it's disappointing, it's also exciting to be able to consistently buy the ingredients that make the best cookies.

A Fostoria man has donated
$2,500 to the police department to get a new dog, after one of their K-9s was
put to sleep earlier this week.
Bill Frankart is the owner
of Enviro Tire Recycling, a retired Wood County Sheriff's deputy, and life-long
Fostoria resident. Earlier this week, he learned the Fostoria Police Department's
German Shepherd, Ninja, lost his fight with cancer.
"I'm pretty much an animal
lover, and I know we have a bunch of good, young officers in Fostoria, and I
just want to help them out with another tool to do their job," Frankart said.
Officer Brandon Bell works
with the only K-9 left in the unit.
"It's invaluable for the
City of Fostoria," Bell said. "Not only our department, but the community, in
general. It's an invaluable tool that helps us fight crime in the city and the
surrounding area."
Because of Frankart's past
in law enforcement, he understands and recognizes the need for K-9s.
"[They're] a lot better at
smelling, and the police will be able to make more arrests and stop some of
these guys from peddling drugs," he said.
Although his $2,500
donation will get the ball rolling, a new K-9 can cost up to $12,000. Frankart
hopes his donation is not the last, and would like to see other citizens and
businesses donate, as they have in the past.
The department is
grateful, and excited to add a new member to their unit.

Multi Vitamins + Herbs + Minerals
Stress • Immune • Bone Health*
Every Woman's One Daily is a once-daily organic whole-food
multivitamin formulated specifically for the needs of active women.
Most people would agree that taking a daily multivitamin is a good idea –
it's often referred to as an "insurance policy" for covering nutritional gaps
left by a less than optimal diet.
New Chapter® believes a daily multi can be much more
than a nutrient backstop. In fact, we believe our Organic, Whole-Food Multi's
can serve as the foundation of your complete nutrition program – with multiple
benefits in support of your overall health and wellness.
New Chapter Whole-Food Multivitamins: More Than Food
Supplements, They're Supplemental Food™
Organic herbs and cultured whole-food vitamins & minerals work together to
promote optimal health and condition-specific benefits – not just address
nutrient deficiencies.*
Every Woman®'s One Daily is a once-daily organic whole-food
multivitamin formulated specifically for the needs of active women.
Whole-Food Calcium, Vitamin D3 and the most bioactive, longest-lasting form
of Vitamin K2 promote calcium metabolism and bone health.*
Cultured, organic herbal blends provide energy & stress support and promote
hormone and immune system health.*
Once-daily formula is easy-to-take, easy-to-digest , and can be taken anytime
– even on an empty stomach!
The Whole Truth About Cultured Soy
Cultured soy is one of the five sacred grains of the Chinese herbal tradition
and is the foundation of "superfoods" such as tempeh and miso. Traditional
cultures consumed soy only if it was fermented – for good reason. While
non-fermented soy can disrupt absorption and normal activity of nutritive
compounds, modern science has found that cultured soy actually enhances
nutritive bioavailability and promotes normal cell growth, heart, and bone
New Chapter Multi's utilize only fermented soy to
deliver these compelling benefits supported by each formula's whole-food
vitamins, minerals and herbs.

Uncorked Ventures Blog
New Sonoma AVA's, It's Still Confusing Though
Hey again, Mark Aselstine with Uncorked Ventures.
One of the neat things that came across the last few days . . . Sonoma's has the one of the most confusing and complex sets of AVAs, really in the world. There's little, if nothing that you can tell about a wine just based on the AVA in Sonoma. To that end, we've been trying to create a clickable map with some information on each AVA.
As an example, the Sonoma Coast AVA is massive and you can't really tell is this a cool climate vineyard or is this a warmer climate vineyard just by saying "Sonoma Coast." We have some assumptions based on that, but those aren't necessarily always true. The Russian River Valley also kind of in the same kind of thing, if you're right next to the river, kind of by Copain or Artessa, Mark David, some of those wineries, it's a pretty cool climate growing region. If you move out into the hills above Sebastopol, it still counts as Russian River. You find Lennox Vineyards, which we've done a couple wines from lately. That's pretty warm.
So Sonoma is working to at least divvy up the Russian River Valley into what sounds like between four and eight smaller AVAs that actually tell you a little bit more about the wine. Of course, the problem with that is that makes it even more confusing for consumers.
Personally, I wish they would just scrap the whole system in Sonoma and just start over. I think there are some logical ways to divide stuff up that just can't happen based on how it's set up right now.
Sonoma is a really large area in and of itself, so you have stuff like the Sangiacomo Vineyard, which is technically Sonoma, but it's actually in three or four different locations throughout Sonoma. So just hearing "Sangiacomo," then you have to ask, "Hey, which one actually is this?"
So its complex, we're trying to figure out a way to make it a little bit less complex for consumers. Sonoma is trying to figure it out. I don't know if they're there yet, but they're working on it. And I think that's a good thing. I think there's some pressure on them too, because Napa is pretty easy to understand. And that's the elephant in the room.
In any case, Mark Aselstine from Uncorked Ventures, and I hope everyone is having a good week.
Kismet-Papa's All Blacks Old Vine
About Kismet and All Black's: The Kismet project is a recent addition to the Sonoma wine scene, founded by Morgan Peterson whose father Joel, started and still owns Ravenswood. A wine like this wouldn't be possible without those long standing grower and vintner relationships. The All Blacks (as you'll also see in Parker's tasting notes below) is a nod to winemaking in the 19th century in California. While many people realize that Zinfandel is basically a California native, they don't realize that other grape vines like Petite Sirah and Carignane also grew wild in the foothills as long ago as the time when the first settlers came to California looking for their fortunes in the Gold Rush. In fact, that diversity was always considered a good thing as vintners (or more realistically anyone who wanted a cheap drink and was smart enough to pick the grapes and then throw them in a bin to ferment) could simply harvest all the grapes in their field and allow them to ferment together. The beauty was that every vineyard would produce a different blend and showed some unique characteristics. We've heard from the Napa Valley Historical Society that some of these blends did carry some additional value and the wine could be traded for other necessities. We thought our Reserve Selections members would enjoy this wine, partially because yes, it's good, but also because it conjurs an interesting and unique time in the history of both California and the United States. All the grapes in your glass were grown from vines that were planted before Prohibition, in some cases well before.
Tasting Notes: 90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2011 Papa's All-Blacks Old Vine is a field blend of assorted red grapes that pays tribute to the growers who planted some of California's most historic vineyard sites back in the late 1800s. Sweet floral notes meld into dark red fruit, asphalt, sweet spices and licorice as the 2011 opens up in the glass. Juicy and seductive, the 2011 is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years.
Old Vine Heritage Sites: In California, we typically think of an old vine heritage site as only containing Zinfandel, since that grape can grow for hundreds of years on the same vine. The Monte Rosso Vineyard is a great example of a mixed black vineyard in that the owners aren't even sure exactly what's in most of their 40 acres-it's a mix of Zin, Petite and Carignane among others. There is also a section of old Cabernet vines which helps to make this Sonoma property among the defining vineyards in the state of California.
Changes in Sonoma's Wine Landscape
Over the years, the wine industry in northern California has gone through any number of significant changes. Napa of course modernized and stepped onto the international stage after the tasting of Paris in the 1970's. Sonoma hasn't had a similar coming out party so to speak, but I wanted to spend a couple of moments in this space talking about what's happening in Sonoma-a real start up winery movement centered in warehouse spaces in and around Santa Rosa.
Over the past few years, I have found myself increasingly moving away from fruit forward wines that have helped make California famous and increasingly searching out cooler climate and higher acidity versions of common varietals. I'd count Grenache as my favorite grape today, that's something I would have scoffed at a couple of years ago.
More and more, I find interesting, unique and noteworthy wineries nestled in warehouses in and around Santa Rosa.
While I wouldn't say that Adam Lee and the people at Siduri created the movement by themselves, for some number of years Siduri has offered the best example of what is possible using this type of winery setup. Lee crafts a large number of wines, sourced from grapes from Oregon all the way to Santa Barbara. If you're counting at home, they're probably the only winery in the world that offers a chance to taste Pinot Noir from every famous growing region in America, next to each other. That's incredibly valuable as a wine drinker and Siduri has earned every bit of acclaim they've garnered over the years.
More recently, I've run into a number of other wineries with compelling stories and similar setups. At Vinify (a custom crush facility) there's at least a dozen wineries making notable wine. Matt Duffy is the winemaker in charge of the day to day operations of the facility, he also crafts his own personal label (Vaughn Duffy) and has had his Rose, priced under $20, fall into the San Francisco Chronicle's top 100 wines of the year. Sojourn and our old friend Eric Bradley make their multiple, award winning and increasingly allocated wines there (if you are able to buy $50 wines consistently, Sojourn is probably the first Sonoma wine club I'd suggest you join). Jon Grant has one of the best looking resume's in wine that you've never heard of, being listed as Turley's assistant winemaker will do that for you. His projects (Couloir and Straight Line) offer a combination of great Pinot Noir and my favorite American Tempranillo, both at price points that are impressive in their brevity.
Elswewhere in Sonoma, I've talked about 2 Shepherds ad nauseam I think in this space and elsewhere, but I hope it suffices to say, if you want to know who's next in wine…..2 Shepherds would be my pick. The winery is only a handful of vintages in and I'm already having to beg for wine. 2 Shepherds is, without a doubt, the most unique and significant new wine project I've come across in the past four years. Cool climate and small production sizes make for good bedfellows and they come together nicely here.
Lastly, there are any number of small wine projects cropping up in the larger Russian River Valley players. A great example is the Cabernet Franc project Mark David, which is a personal project of Mark McWilliams, whose family owns the highly respected Arista winery situated in the center of the Russian River Valley. Sure, some of the fruit comes from Napa, but if you want something unique and utterly California, look here.
Sorting Tempranillo in Sonoma at Vinify
For wine retailers, the time period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is by far the busiest time of the year. For a winery, the equivalent time of year is harvest. It's an interesting dichotomy given that October and the beginning of November is a time period when we're really trying to gear up for the holidays, but wineries aren't always available, or at least the people we want to spend time with and get to know, aren't available.
Instead of not visiting wineries during October like we have in previous years, this year I decided to work a few days of harvest at a couple of different custom crush facilities in Sonoma.
A trip from a couple of weeks ago brought me to Vinify. I've mentioned Vinify in this space before, but I originally found Vinify through a neighbor and their introduction to Matt Duffy and his Vaughn Duffy wine label. Duffy also is the winemaker in charge at Vinify which helps approximately 30 wineries to make world class wine out of a warehouse space in Santa Rosa.
One picture I wish I had available happened as I was first pulling into the parking lot. The wine industry isn't exactly known for having a group of early risers, so arriving before 9am as I did that day, sometimes would leave me some time for coffee (at least) before anyone else showed up. During harvest though, things are different.
I found multiple trucks carrying grapes (mostly Pinot Noir) to be dropped off at Vinify and a few of the other production facilities in this industrial park. Additionally, the picture I wish I had was the group of 10 winemakers sitting on the curb, much like little kids like my toddler and his friends at the park, although the winemakers were waiting for their grapes to come in. It's the kind of image that consumers would enjoy seeing and I wish the industry would share more often. It's easy to forget, but winemakers love their job and I think as a group, are incredibly thankful that they get to do something they're so passionate about.
Ok, so I've worked enough around a winery at harvest to know a few things. First, winemakers love having new guys around, especially one's that are willing to get their hands dirty. I'm guilty of that, I enjoy seeing the winemaking side of the business, that's of course why we're all here. Winemakers and other winery staff also more than willing to find a bad job for you to do. I knew going in that Pinot push downs were a really great job, for an intern.
Duffy in all his wisdom (and probably to get me out of his hair for as long as possible) got me hooked on with Jon Grant who makes wine at Vinify for both his Straight Line label, as well as for his Couloir Wines label.
A little background on Jon, first and foremost you'll recognize one name above all others-he's the assistant winemaker at Turley Wine Cellars. Turley won't need an introduction for many of our readers, but I do think it makes sense to point out that if you were choosing a single winemaker and winery to learn from in California today, Turley would have to be at, or near the top of that list. I mention that simply to say that there is a pedigree here.
Jon's Couloir Wines label is his Pinot Noir project and shows an interesting take on how a winemaker with a varied set of interests can break those wines apart to make the most sense for consumers. Couloir offers four different Pinot's, each from a different vineyard around the state of California. It feels almost like cheapening the experience if I mention that all four were rated at 90+ points by Wine Enthusiast. Of note is the Monument Tree (the highest rated at 93pts) to me simply because I've become something of a fan of the vineyard after running into vineyard designate wines made from Monument Tree Pinot fruit at Copain and more recently an aged bottle from Drew Family Cellars. It's a really interesting vineyard that's well known for being among the coolest climate Pinot vineyard around, certainly among the coolest in the Anderson Valley. If you have a friend or wine lover who doesn't believe that California Pinot can be restrained, refined and almost classy-find a wine from Monument Tree and change their mind forever about the vast possibilities.
Of more interest given my experience is the Straight Line label and specifically the Tempranillo. We actually shipped the Straight Line some time ago (2 vintages ago perhaps), but had never run into Jon personally before this day at Vinify. The fruit for the Straight Line Tempranillo that I encountered came from a vineyard in Lodi, while there are other grapes that come from Terra Alta (one of my favorite California vineyards based on experiences with Blair Fox down in Santa Barbara).
In any case, I learned a few things about Tempranillo that day:
First, the destemmer doesn't really help that much. Evidently, an extraordinarily high percentage of jacks gets through because the berries cling more tightly to the jacks than do other varietals. Those clinging jacks aren't a problem with the whole stem ferments that happen as part of Straight Line, but this batch was meant to be de-stemmed. It's a testament to how much Jon cares about his finished product to see him bending over in a sort of back breaking labor, to get every possible jack and stem out of the half ton bins.
I also learned at least two things about making wine at a custom crush facility like Vinify. First, it's damn hard to find a good towel. Secondly I learned that there is a real sense of community at these custom crush facilities. Over the course of a couple of hours you could hear a winemaker or two complaining or mentioing how this vintage is different, worse or better. Almost universally you'd have another winemaker offering some type of encouragement. It was striking to me since wine retailers generally hate each other. When I run into other retailers at tasting events they act as if we have nothing to talk about. A couple of weeks ago a wine club competitor of ours launched a redesigned website, I told them congrats and that it looked great....only to be told to leave them alone. Winemakers are a different bunch to be sure because even though they are competiing with each other, there was a lot of discussion about how to deal with the challenges that kepy coming up during these early days of harvest. There's a real sense of community and a large amount of community knowledge available for winemakers that probably isn't available or discussed in other industries.
In any case, Jon makes some good wine and any winemaker willing and able to sing along to a 50 Cent song is someone we plan on seenig more of in the future.
Lastly, thank you to everyone at Vinify for putting up with me.
Canihan Family Wine Cellars
In my continued efforts to introduce our readers to wineries which took part in the recent Family Winemakers tasting at Ft Mason, I present Canihan Family Wine Cellars.
The Canihan wine story is an interesting one, which dates well back to the early 20th century in pre WWI Europe. August Siegrist came to America (and San Francisco specifically) from Switzerland where he had seen his mother work with vines and their resulting wine, as well as the locally driven Swiss food culture. Luckily for August San Francisco has long been home to something similar and he found a home in the city as a baker and eventually as a restaurateur.
For many families the story might stop there, or someone working at a social media startup might tell his friends that his dad used to want to make wine, instead the dream continued through the work of Siegrist's son in law, Bill Canihan Sr.
Canihan Sr purchased a 60 acre piece in Sonoma and farmed it organically for over 20 years before planting vines, the idea was to give the earth enough time to make the ground suitable for grapes again. Given some of the issues I've had with my own backyard garden after the previous residents of our home let it basically go to it's wild roots, I have a better appreciation for this type of patience than I might have only a year ago.
Finally, 1998 saw the plantings of the biodynamic and organic Canihan Family Vineyard.
More recently, I've run into a few quotes and some information on Bill Canihan which makes him seem like someone who is going to end up being an asset to the Sonoma wine industry. First, we was a commercial mortgage banker in San Francisco for some time. While it isn't often talked about outside the wine industry, more and more winemakers that I talk to regularly have spoken about the need for financing and how difficult that financing is to receive after the economic collapse. I'm seeing truly memorable wines being made using kickstarter campaigns and having more and more wineries simply struggling to have any type of financing in place. While I understand from a banker's perspective that wine doesn't always seem like a good bet, I do think it is a good bet that some of these estate's turn a tidy profit on a yearly basis, don't you think?
Canihan helped to explain the situation faced by a small vineyard in an interview with Sonoma News:
"In 2008," Canihan reveals, "vineyard management alone cost us $30 a bottle. The lowest we've done is $19 a bottle. That's just vineyard management costs. It doesn't include bottles, labels or foil."
To put that price point in perspective, most average consumers won't pay more than $30 for a bottle of Pinot Noir, no matter who makes it and no matter where it comes from. It should help to explain the difficulty that high end wine estate's like Canihan face when trying to enter into a market dominated by larger scale operations, capable of producing drinkable, but certainly not memorable $10 Pinot Noir from generic California vineyards.
Ok, so Canihan is likely to be a resource for other growers, vintners, winemakers and vineyard owners in regard to both financing new projects, as well as turning those projects profitable. There's certainly more though.
We hear consistently, ad nauseum really about how great wine is made in the vineyard. We often hear wineries and winemakers talk at length about how their vineyard is affected by small changes in location compared to their neighbors as well as any number of other important points about their location and how that affects the grapes that end up in your glass. What I don't often see are all of these wineries completely willing to buy into the concept and farm their land both organically as well as biodynamically.
One aspect of conventional farming that I think many of us can appreciate after spending any amount of time trying to grow food in our backyard is that after you use fertilizer or some other type of intervention, it seemingly becomes more important to use others. In essence there is a constant and uphill fight between fertilizer makers, or simply put the chemical industry and pests or nature itself. Frankly, I don't believe it is a fight that we can win forever, which is why we're seeing regular farms employ crop rotation among other more natural ways of helping the soil retain vital nutrients like nitrogen.
In any case, before I get going too far along a philosophical journey here about organic and biodynamic farming helping to preserve these outstanding vineyards for future generations, I should talk a bit about Canihan's wine since that's truly why everyone is here.
Here's the first thing you're going to notice when you open either a Pinot Noir or Syrah from the Canihan Family Vineyard: Spice. Like a lot of spice on the nose. Really, a lot and some of the most interesting and complex set of flavors you'll ever smell from either of those two varietals. This is where I think you see the meticulous farming practices truly coming into play, while so many people talk about how Pinot and Syrah both can have spicy notes on the nose, we lose those sensations with too many wines. They're present here in abundance and if you drink a lot of Pinot Noir, you'll realize that you've been missing something along the way.
In the mouth the spice, interestingly, fades more into the background and I'm left with a simple yet straightforward assessment. This is a rounder version of Pinot Noir, consistent with what you'd expect from a warm California vineyard. That being said, while it isn't austere, it doesn't reach a level of feeling over extracted either. This is a true Pinot Noir producer and when it comes to their Exuberance Pinot Noir-a true reminder of what Sonoma County is capable of when treated with enough care.
It's also a winery you're likely to hear about more in the future, this type of care and concern for a vineyard doesn't allow for giant leaps in production or the sourcing of inferior product for greater profit. In short Canihan Family Vineyards is likely just beginning its journey to being a Sonoma Pinot producer that we can count on to produce a world class wine in every vintage.

Entertainment in the theater was terrible. (except for 2 nights, when they had a pair of comedians and a tribute to Buddy Clark). Music for dancing was very good. The charge for the soft drinks and wine package was so expensive that I didn't buy it. They priced it out of sight.A glass of an ordinary wine was over $9.00 plus an 18% tip. (They got $54. for a bottle of $5. wine! That's outrageous) My local pub charges $7.00 and they have to pay a steep fed excise tax. And they were always selling add-ons. It gets annoying.
I sailed on this ship 11 years ago. It sparkled. Service was great, as was the food and entertainment.It was wonderful. The decline in everything was evident. They have cut back on every aspect of service.As I said to the head waiter, I didn't come on a cruise to eat hamburgers and pasta.

Judy Eagle Shelton '98 smiles brightly, clearly enjoying her job hosting the morning radio show with her husband Kenny on 108 WYYD-FM Country. Shelton, who graduated from the College with a communication degree and a teaching certificate, has always loved radio and has passed that passion on to her daughters.
But radio is not the only thing the Shelton family shares. Kayse Shelton '10 graduated from the College in May with a double major in political science and psychology, and Lauren Shelton '12 is currently studying studio art.
Shelton could not be happier.
Twelve years ago, she earned her degree after returning to college as an adult student.
"The girls were always on campus with me," Shelton recalled. "Kenny would meet me down there, and I would bring the girls, and we would have dinner in the cafeteria. We would walk around the campus, and they loved it. So when they chose to go there, I think they just felt right at home."
Kayse considered other schools during her college search. But as the deadline drew near to commit to a college, the Sheltons made a visit to campus.
"We sat there in those chairs in front of Leggett, and we were just talking," Judy Shelton said. "And Kayse said 'This feels right.' I think that's how it is for many students. They walk on campus, and it just feels right."
The characteristics Shelton found at her alma mater remain the same for her daughters.
"Academically, it was rigorous, but you really do feel like you know your professors, and they get to know you," she said.
She is pleased her daughters found a home at Randolph College.
Kayse said her professors held students accountable.
"That's something that I really like about them. And they're really friendly. I always felt comfortable asking them questions or e-mailing them," she said.
Lauren knew from her mother and sister that her classes and instructors were going to be challenging.
"As far as the professors and the classes go, it's what I expected," she said.
Just like their parents, Kayse and Lauren have been bitten by the radio bug. Kayse works part-time at WYYD while she contemplates law school and charts her own career path. Lauren had her own show last school year on Randolph's radio station, WWRM, known as The Worm. "I'll probably do that again [this year]," she said.
Sharing the College's traditions has given the Shelton women a unique bond. Lauren even served as her sister's squire at Commencement in May.
"It's special for me because my mom went there and Kayse went there," she said.

I think in order to get better, you would need to bite the bullet and get the 24-70L mkii and get something like a 10-22 from one of the manufacturers to provide the wider angle needs you may have. Of course, a company like sigma may release something similar in the future, but my crystal ball isn't that clear.
The sigma 18-35 is better than the canon 24-70ii on a crop body. It doesn't have much range though. its like having a 28, 35, and 50 on ff.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29
One of the greatest jobs I have as a mother is to instill godly character into my children. To do this, I intentionally utilize both resources and teachable moments. I have found that it is best to learn from life's blunders. Currently I am reading aloud and discussing the book Love As A Way of Life by Gary Chapman with my youngest daughter, Cayley, as well as the mom group I'm leading. At the end of one of the chapters, I became convicted. There was a challenge to evaluate verbal interactions with others and determine whether or not the words spoken were kind. If any unwholesome words came to mind, the challenge encouraged you to take action and apologize.
My heart sunk as I remembered a phone conversation that I had with a friend. I sent the apology email below to my friend and then read it aloud to my daughter. Even though I was embarrassed by my blunder, I wanted to use it as a teachable moment. Words do matter and carry weight.
OK my dear friend, things just got real. I just finished reading a chapter on kindness to Cayley and I was convicted.
I read, "To make kindness a habit, ask yourself after each verbal interaction with another person, what kind words did I say and what unwholesome words did I say?" I thought back to our conversation and was convicted.
I realized that sharing with you about my disgruntles with ________ were not edifying or life giving. I did looked up the quote you mentioned by Dave Ramsey concerning gossip which said, "gossip is defined as discussing anything negative with someone who can't help solve the problem." So I'm apologizing for gossiping.
Words are powerful as they give life or death. I desire to be known as one who spreads life.
Love ya.
My friend wrote me back the following:
Your email made me think, what if the words about _______ were said in a happy, surprised, and excited tone, but because it was hearsay, and because of our filters, we assume it was negative? It gave me a lot to think about. The other thing that I want to sort through with you is where is the line between gossip and sharing our heart, and frustration with a friend.
Was I gossiping or simply sharing my heart and frustration with a friend? I wanted to know. Actually, I needed to know.
Two definitions of gossip:
- Dictionary – Casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.
- Bible – One who reveals secrets, one who goes about as a talebearer or scandal-monger.
Gossip is different from sharing information in many ways. Below are some ways I feel the two differ but I'm sure there are many others.
- Consider your motives for sharing? Are you seeking to build yourself up by making others look bad? We often feel superior to the person we are talking about which is prideful and often gossip.
- Gossiping wants to share and tell a story for reactions. It is done repeatedly to many persons.
- If you are hurt or angry with someone and desire to draw others into your pain wanting them to side with you it's likely you are gossiping.
- What type of information is being shared? Gossipers speak of the faults and failures of others or reveal possibly embarrassing or shameful details regarding the lives of others without their knowledge or approval.
- Gossip usually occurs when you complain or talk about one person to someone who knows both of you.
- Ask if what you are saying is helpful for building up the person I am speaking about by sharing this? Charles Spurgeon said, "Tale bearing/gossip emits a threefold poison. It injures the teller, the hearer, and the person concerning whom the tale is told."
- Ask yourself why you want to share this information, do you have permission, and if it's necessary? Then consider whether you would share if the person you were talking about were present? If not, you are most likely gossiping.
- It's gossip to say anything about someone that will lower the listener's opinion of that someone as gossip changes the way we see people.
- Do you have a complaint about someone that you take to someone else who can do nothing about it? If so, then that is gossip.
- Do your words build up and edify others? Gossipers seek to tear down others.
- Kind words see the best in people and call it forth. Gossipers tend to focus on the negative and nit pick.
- When someone is talking negatively about others it become gossip on your part if you jump into the conversation.
- Don't participate. Excuse yourself from a conversation that becomes full of gossip, to avoid "falling into" gossip games or socializing-by-demoralizing.
- Encourage them to speak directly to the person who is involved as it's biblical, see Matthew 18:15
- Let gossip end with you. Help navigate the conversation to whatever is true, pure, and lovely.
- Always remember your words are powerful enough to give life or death.
- Will what you share glorify God?
With this particular situation, I decided that my friend might be right as I truly was sharing my heart. Nevertheless, I realize that it is a fine line. Next time, before talking to a friend about something, I will ask myself if what I am about to say is true, kind, necessary, or helpful? This whole experience has reminded me that it is important to THINK before speaking. "He who guards his mouth keeps her life, but she who opens wise her lips comes to ruin." Proverbs 13:3
T –is it true?
H –is it helpful?
I –is it inspiring?
N –is it necessary?
K –is it kind?
In closing, I encourage you to ponder the following poem by Ann Landers. Personally, this poem really made me think deeper about a few things.
Remember Me?
"My Name Is Gossip. I have no respect for Justice.
I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted the more I am believed.
I flourish at every level of society.
My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never quite the same.
I topple governments and ruin marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartache and indigestion.
I spawn suspicion and generate grief.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses. "I AM CALLED GOSSIP." Office gossip. Shop gossip. Party gossip.
I make headline and headaches.
Before you repeat a story ask yourself. Is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary?
If not – KEEP QUIET.
GREAT minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; shallow minds discuss people. Eleanor Roosevelt
Which are you?
How do you differentiate between gossiping and sharing? I'd really like to know.

I didn't get to this yesterday, but at halftime of the Lakers game Dirk apparently gave some sort of fiery speech to the team. Everyone is making a big deal out of this.
"I'm not talking about it," he said. "There's nothing to talk about. It was nothing special."
It doesn't sound like Carmelo Anthony is going to play today.
Jeff Caplan has second quarter report and makes note of the defensive improvements.
The second quarter has seen marked improvement: 10th in scoring defense (96.5), tied for 14th in field-goal defense (45.1) and 15th in 3-point defense (36.0).
Big articles on Devin Harris in both of the papers today. (Caplan's | Sefko's). They are both about how much he's improved this season.
The guys over at DallasBasketball.com have good look at the Mavs through the first half.
I'm surprised more wasn't made of these comments by Phil Jackson after the game on Friday.
"We knew it was going to be like that," Jackson said. "They like to do that here. The coach gets on the referee. They get the referees kind of animated, and there's a lot of focus on that in this organization.
"So when you come in here, there's a lot of fouls called. The Mavs play that kind of game, so you've got to be real careful because it can change the concept of how you are playing."

Playbill Poll: What Should Patrick Wilson's Next Broadway Role Be? Readers Respond
By Playbill Staff
Stage and screen star Patrick Wilson, who appeared on Broadway in The Full Monty, Oklahoma!, Barefoot in the Park and All My Sons, recently revealed that he will return to Broadway in spring 2014. Playbill.com wondered: What production and role would you like to see Wilson play on Broadway?
Playbill.com polled our readers via Facebook and Twitter asking them to share their choices for roles they'd like to see Wilson take on in his Broadway return.
Here are some reader responses followed by our own commentary.
Jeannette Quintana: Les Mis
The international hit musical Les Misérables is set to return to New York City for its third Broadway outing beginning March 1, 2014. Casting has not been announced for the 25th-anniversary, re-imagined production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's Tony Award-winning musical. Wilson would make an ideal Jean Valjean (originated by Colm Wilkinson) or his tireless pursuer Javert (originated on Broadway by Terrence Mann). Either way he's cast, audiences would have the chance to hear him sing "Bring Him Home" or "Stars."
mrtylermartins: @patrickwilson73 HAS to come back to Broadway as Billy Bigelow in Carousel.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic Carousel was last revived to Tony Award-winning acclaim in 1994. The lush classic had a starry five-performance concert staging featuring a host of Broadway talent and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra last winter. John Raitt originated the role of Billy Bigelow, who performs such songs as "Soliloquy," "If I Loved You" and "The Highest Judge of All."
Gabriela Geselowitz: He'd make a good Cliff
The Kander and Ebb classic Cabaret is heading back to Broadway beginning March 21, 2014, at Studio 54, with Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams as Sally Bowles and Tony Award winner Alan Cumming as the Emcee. Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall will recreate their Tony-winning 1998 staging for the Broadway return of Cabaret. Casting for the role of Cliff, who sang "Why Should I Wake Up?" in the original (cut for the Mendes revival), has not been announced. If Wilson does return to the stage as Cliff, audiences will only get a snippet of his voice during the truncated version of "Perfectly Marvelous" with Sally.
Robin Richard: Joe Hardy in "Damn Yankees."
The 1955 musical features a book by original director George Abbott and Douglas Wallop, with music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The Faustian musical was adapted from Wallop's 1954 novel "The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant." It was last revived on Broadway in 1994. City Center Encores! presented the musical as part of its summer series in 2008 with Cheyenne Jackson as Joe Hardy.
Robin Richard: Joey in "Pal Joey."
The Rodgers and Hart musical has gone through numerous rewrites and revisions since its 1940 Broadway premiere at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Gene Kelly originated the role of nightclub entertainer Joey, who was played on film by Frank Sinatra in 1957. Songs for the leading man include "I Could Write A Book," "You Mustn't Kick It Around" and "Pal Joey." It was last revived on Broadway in 2008.
Damian Kelly-Bateman: Von Trapp in Sound of Music
Rodgers and Hammerstein's audience favorite The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway in 1959 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre with Theodore Bikel as Captain Von Trapp and Mary Martin as Maria. The celebrated 1965 film adaptation starred Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews. In December, NBC will air a live broadcast of the musical featuring Carrie Underwood as Maria and Stephen Moyer as Von Trapp.
Nathan Hinds: I'm going to say he should go completely against type and play Miss Trunchbull. It would be a fun change to see something totally unexpected from him.
Wilson has the stature to play Miss Trunchbull, the intimidating, child-loathing school teacher in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Matilda. Bertie Carvel, who won an Olivier Award in London, originated the role at the Royal Shakespeare Company and repeated his work in the Broadway premiere. Craig Bierko recently assumed the role.
John Abernathy: City of Angels.
The Tony Award-winning 1989 musical by Larry Gelbart, David Zippel and Cy Coleman is overdue for a Broadway revival. Wilson would make an ideal Stine (the disillusioned crime novelist who turns to Hollywood) or Stone (the heroine of the screenplay who has all the fun). Gregg Edelman and James Naughton originated the roles, respectively. Both were Tony-nominated, and Naughton took home the honor for Best Actor.
Juhstin Rahmihres: Can we get him in Phantom but not playing Raoul but the Phantom. I would love to see that.
Wilson starred as Raoul in the 2004 film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical that is now in its 25th year in London and New York. Michael Crawford famously originated the role of the Phantom and first introduced audiences to "The Music of the Night."
Gary Hall: Mack Sennett in Mack and Mabel with Laura Osnes.
Mack and Mabel premiered at the Majestic Theatre in 1974. Robert Preston originated the role of filmmaker Mack Sennett in the short-lived musical that features such songs as "I Won't Send Roses," "Movies Were Movies," "I Promise You A Happy Ending" and "Time Heals Everything."
Michael Equality Piatkowski: The Bodyguard.
The new musical adaptation of the Whitney Houston film "The Bodyguard" is reportedly eyeing a Broadway run in 2014. Tony Award winner Heather Headley originated the role of pop star Rachel Marron. Kevin Costner originated the title role of her protector on screen in 1992.
Blake Sherman: I think he would be good as Guy in Once.
Steve Kazee originated the role of Guy to Tony Award-winning acclaim in Once, the musical based on the 2006 indie film of the same title. The production, which won the 2012 Tony Award for Best Musical, currently features "Dr. Who" star Arthur Darvill and Joanna Christie as the lovelorn troubadours at the center of the tale.
Shannon Donohue: Roundabout Theatre Company is planning to bring "The Philadelphia Story" to Broadway. I could see him as C.K. Dexter Haven.
Philip Barry's play premiered on Broadway in 1939 and famously starred Katharine Hepburn as Tracy Lord and Joseph Cotten as C.K. Dexter Haven. Carey Grant played the role in the 1940 film. The Roundabout had announced plans to revive the play this fall with Alex Timbers directing; however, the production was postponed earlier this year. New dates of production have not been revealed.

Sunday, when a Lowndes Co. deputy tried to stop the driver of a truck that had no tag, the driver took off.
The driver got up to 80MPH, and then crashed the truck into a tree. He and a passenger took off running.

We haven't had a good 3 since the days of RJ and that is what Wes reminds me of. Plus in free agency there are more legit PF than 2's and 3's such as Gay and Joe Johnson. We only won 12 games last year, but with this free agent class we need to make it look as were going to be good very soon. By drafting Favors its gonna take three years for him to become a star... think Jermaine O'Neal. By taking Wes you plug him in at the three and you go get a star PF along with a SG possibly.

I just feel like he is the most ready out of the picks in terms of his defense and his scoring ability.

Norwich Superior Court was evacuated Wednesday afternoon after someone phoned in a bomb threat, police said.
The threat was reported at 1 Courthouse Square just before 1 p.m., police said, and the courthouse was immediately evacuated.
"The Marshal screamed everybody out of the building," said eyewitness Dave Pedro of Jewett City. "They rushed us out."
Not knowing what was happening, many eyewitnesses said they quickly flashed back to the terrorist attack on this date in 2001.
"It was a little scary," said Sean Levesque of Norwich. "They had us all leave, get out of the building. They didn't say what was going on."
State police bomb dogs searched the building. After an investigation, police said the threat was deemed to be false and the all clear was given about an hour later.
"Somebody called a bomb, that's pretty scary," Pedro said. "Glad nothing went off.
No injuries were reported.
As for those who were in lock up at the time. State police said the marshal's placed them in a van and took them off site.
State police said they've began a criminal investigation into the bomb threat and they're making progress. Those responsible face felony charges and will likely face a judge.

When fire strikes, fire fighters come to
the rescue. But long before a fire starts—and often
before buildings are even constructed—fire protection
engineers analyze ways to save people and places from a
Fire protection engineers use science and
technology to answer questions about how fires burn and
how life and property can best be protected. They might
use their knowledge to help design buildings that will
remain structurally sound during a fire or to design fire
alarm, exit, or sprinkler systems.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
does not collect data specifically on fire protection
engineers. Instead, it categorizes these workers under the
broad title of health and safety engineers, an
occupational group that also includes product safety and

Most employers agree that job candidates should
be well groomed for an interview. However, the particulars of
appearance—such as an unusual hairstyle or obvious tattoos—might
not matter as much when it comes to making hiring decisions,
according to survey results from the National Association of
Colleges and Employers.
The association's Job Outlook 2006 survey
asked employers the degree to which they would be influenced by
certain aspects of a candidate's appearance. As the table
shows, survey respondents indicated that some eccentric
hairstyles and attire don't have a strong influence on
employers' decisions.
Jobseekers might want to weigh the risks before opting for self-expression, though. After all,
even a slightly negative impression is enough to keep a
candidate from getting a job, particularly if employers are
choosing among several qualified candidates.
Interviewers' opinions aside, some
organizations have strict policies about the appearance of their
employees; a company's rules might stipulate, for example,
that male employees cannot have a beard or mustache. On the
other hand, some employers might seek out unconventional
candidates and be more accepting of a less traditional

Do you know someone who loves to skateboard and
plans to go to college? That person's promotion of the sport,
regardless of skill level, might help him or her to land a
$1,000 or $5,000 scholarship.
In the realm of scholarship funding, passion for
a cause can bring rewards. There are advocacy-related
scholarships for everyone from vegetarians to beef enthusiasts.
And although some scholarships are based on interest, others are
reserved for students who have special qualities. If you're
short or tall, for example, you might be eligible for money to
help pay for your higher education.

other uncommon scholarships, go to finaid.org/scholarships/unusual.phtml.

You might want to work in the State where you
now live. Maybe you're hoping to relocate instead. As long as
you're considering the U.S. job market, you'll want to know
what's going on in the State in which you'll seek work.
Even though BLS provides employment projections
for the Nation as a whole, projections at the State level can
help jobseekers pinpoint what's happening where they might
choose to work. Every State creates employment projections,
usually with the help of national estimates. Job growth varies from one region to another,
depending on local factors and trends. Some States provide
projections for smaller geographic areas, too.
State projections differ from national ones in
another way. Although BLS projections are released on a regular
biennial schedule, timetables for the States vary.
Details about State projections are available from the States'
labor market information offices. You can find mailing addresses
and telephone numbers for these offices in the blue pages of the
telephone book. Links to projections are also available online
Employers seek job candidates who have specific
qualities. That's why resumes should be tailored to showcase a
jobseeker's skills. But sometimes, tailoring the resume format
is required as well.
A resume for construction occupations, for
example, should reflect the applicant's precision and
competency, quantifying accomplishments (such as saving a client
thousands of dollars) whenever possible. In applying for Federal
Government jobs, jobseekers need to emphasize how their
knowledge, skills, and abilities—KSA's—match those sought
for the advertised position. And a curriculum vitae, or CV, is
frequently required by employers abroad. (For more on CVs, see
"Working abroad: Finding international internships and
entry-level jobs," by Jill N. Lacey, elsewhere in this
issue of the Quarterly.)
Check your local public library or your school's
career counseling office for books and advice on how to write
the best resume for your career type. If possible, talk to
people who are already working in your desired occupation or
place of employment to find out how they organized their
Finally, don't forget about past issues of the Quarterly;
relevant articles include Olivia Crosby's "Resumes,
applications, and cover letters" (online at www.bls.gov/opub/ooq/1999/summer/art01.pdf) and "How
to get a job in the Federal Government" (online at
and Elka Jones' "Getting back to work: Returning to the
labor force after an absence" (online at
In this issue of the Quarterly, both
"Job outlook by education" articles and the
OOChart use data to illustrate that completing more
education leads to higher earnings. Other data build on that
theme by showing that people with higher levels of education
are less likely to be among the working poor.
The chart shows that the risk of being poor
generally falls as individuals attain more education. Of
those in the labor force for most of 2004, for example, more
than 15 percent of people who did not have a high school diploma were among the working poor, compared with less than
2 percent of people who had a bachelor's or higher degree.
Educational attainment is linked to earnings potential
because high-paying occupations—such as management,
professional, and related occupations—are more likely to
be available to those who have higher levels of education.
These data were collected in the 2005 Annual Social and
Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey. For more information, see "A Profile of the
