Phillip Duhe '74, MBA '76 writes, "I can't believe it has been 40 years since graduation in the Mission Gardens. My wife Janet and I have resided in American Canyon, Calif. since 1989 and celebrated 35 years of marriage this June. We've put two kids through UC Berkeley where they played in the Cal Marching Band (sorry SCU, but no football team). I work as an Analytics Consultant with Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco. Our daughter, Jessica, is a resident physician in Internal Medicine at Kaiser Hospital-SF and son Justin, a Briefing Manager at Oracle Corp. As my spouse will be in the UK in October, I will be attending the SCU Class of '74 Reunion solo and visiting my niece who is a member of the SCU Class of 2017. SCU Memories: Panty raid in Freshman Orientation Week; Dorm room fire on my floor in Graham; Friday nights at the pool hall and bowling alley in Benson."

Bob Labozetta '69, MA '75 writes: "After 33+ years teaching at the secondary and lately the community college level, I have retired my chalk and white board pens, closed my grading software, and boxed my PowerPoint presentations and lessons. The last six years my wife, Susan, and I resided in Oregon, and last summer decided to chuck it all and travel full-time. We sold our home and most of our possessions, bought a motorhome, and now see the USA (but not in a Chevrolet). While Susan continues her art (sculpture), I may put my SCU education to work by writing who-knows-what. Figuring out how to brew beer on the road, fishing across this great land, and viewing historical sites that I discussed in the classroom but never took the opportunity to visit are prominent objectives as well."

Sam is finishing his PhD at Stanford, and his wife, Allison, is finishing her PhD at Cal. Sorry, SCU! As for Marty and me, we are living our plan to travel until there is no 'go' left, and then we'll look into cruises. Our latest trip was six weeks in Turkey, and the next will be a month in Paris to celebrate our 30th."

He said, "There's some limitations on what we can do as far as what the county does with technology. They're generally one or two releases behind the latest software and that kind of thing, but I think within those limitations … we're doing pretty well. Staff is starting to use mobile devices like tablets out in the stacks, helping people. And we're going to start lending out those kinds of things to the public for them to use and maybe having a bar setup in the library where they can use those kinds of things and try out the latest stuff."

Have a question or need a specification written? Call us on 09-448-1185
As well as supplying the Volclay® Waterproofing System core products, Allco Waterproofing Solutions is also able to supply accessory products for a complete single-source waterproofing system.
Trowel-Grade Sodium Bentonite Sealant
Volclay Bentoseal® is trowel-grade, sodium bentonite/butyl rubber based sealant designed for a variety of surface preparation and waterproof detailing work with Swelltite® and Voltex® waterproofing membranes. Being bentonite based, Bentoseal® swells upon contact with water to seal against water intrusion. With the consistency of thick grease, Bentoseal® is easy to apply to most substrate materials.
Bentoseal® is a below-grade waterproofing accessory product designed for the following uses:
Fillet material at horizontal and vertical inside corners
Flashing material around drains, mechanical and electrical penetrations, curbs and parapets
Sealing material at waterproofing terminations
Repair material for small concrete substrate surface defects prior to waterproofing membrane installation
Trowel-grade waterproofing for extremely irregular substrate surfaces
Bentoseal® is formulated for use on structural concrete, masonry, wood and most metal surfaces. Do not use Bentoseal® on extruded polystyrene (EPS) concrete forming systems. Use in applications with proper confinement only. Backfill soils should be compacted to a 85% Modified Proctor density (For more information with regards to backfill, please refer to Backfill Tech Ref 205). Bentoseal® is not an expansion joint sealant.
Cement-based Crystalline Waterproofing System
Cetcoat® is a complete prepackaged and proportioned waterproofing system. Packaged in a 20 litre pail, each kit contains sufficient Cetcoat® powder and Cetcoat® mixing liquid to waterproof 9.5 square metres. No additional water or chemicals are required.
Cetcoat® is a cement-based coating which waterproofs concrete and masonry surfaces through a crystallisation process. The unique chemical composition allows Cetcoat® to react with water to create a penetrating crystalline growth within the concrete. This crystalline growth serves to densify and block the porosity of the concrete, creating an impervious waterproofing barrier. The unique chemicals in Cetcoat® continue to work long after the product is applied. In positive-side applications, the crystalline growth is forced deeper into the structure by hydrostatic pressure.
Termination Detail
For use on the above/below ground transition, especially in garden areas & stair transitions, refer to the termination details provided by Allco Waterproofing Solutions.
Cetcoat® is recommended for use on below-grade walls and slabs on either the negative- or positive-side where protection from water intrusion is required. Cetcoat® may be used to waterproof foundations, basements, tunnels, water reservoirs, sewage plants, water ranks, swimming pools and manholes. A typical application of Cetcoat® serves to provide a waterproof barrier up to 30 metres of hydrostatic pressure.
Packaged in convenient kits to cover 9.5 metres
Durable yet flexible
No priming required
Negative- or positive-side applications
Breathable to prevent vapour build-up
Brush, spray or broadcast applications
Requires no curing
Hydraulic Patching Compound
The accessory product Cetplug® completes the Cetcoat® system. This unique waterproofing system can be used to provide complete protection to concrete and masonry.
Cetplug® is a quick-setting hydraulic cement-based patching compound designed to stop active seepage through concrete and masonry. It will not shrink, rust or spall in moist conditions. When mixed to a putty consistency and forced into active leaks, Cetplug® stops waterflow immediately.
Use Cetplug® to fill voids, cracks or honeycomb in cast-in-place or precast concrete when active leaks are present. Typical applications include foundations, basements, tunnels, water reservoirs, sewage plants, water tanks, planter boxes and manholes.
Rapidly stops active leaks
Initial set in 1 to 3 minutes
Non-shrink, non-metallic
Trowel-Grade Single Component Urethane Mastic
M-2000 Liquid Flashing is trowel-grade, cold-applied, single component urethane mastic designed for a variety of uses with Environsheet® rubberised asphalt waterproofing membranes and Volclay Swelltite® bentonite waterproofing membranes. M-2000 Liquid Flashing moisture cures to form a continuous, seamless, positively bonded, elastomeric material. M-2000 Liquid Flashing contains no coal tar and conforms to the performance requirements of ASTM C 836-89a.
M-2000 Liquid Flashing is an accessory waterproofing product designed for the following uses:
Fillet material at horizontal and vertical inside corners
Flashing material around drains, mechanical and electrical penetrations, curbs and parapets
Sealing material at membrane terminations
Repair material for small concrete surface defects
Flashing material at inside corner
M-2000 Liquid Flashing is formulated for use on structural concrete, masonry, wood and most metal surfaces. Do no use M-2000 on extruded polystyrene (EPS) concrete forming systems.
Multi-Purpose Joint Tape
Volclay® Seamtape is a 50 mm wide by 0.64 mm thick butyl rubber tape used to seal Volclay Swelltite® Waterproofing Membrane overlap seams. Volclay® Seamtape consists of 0.50 mm of black adhesive butyl compound integrally bonded to a 0.14 mm thick high density polyethylene film.
The inherent adhesive and waterproofing properties of the tape effectively seals the liner face of Swelltite® at the membrane overlaps. Seamtape provides good chemical resistance and excellent moisture barrier properties. Its outstanding conformability allows the tape to be easily installed on irregular surface conditions.
Volclay® Seamtape is used for sealing the overlap seams of Volclay Swelltite® for both vertical and horizontal applications. It protects the seams of installed Swelltite® membrane against debris intrusion during backfill and damage from rain prior to backfilling. Additionally, Seamtape decreases the vapour or gas permeability of the seam. Seamtape may also be used to repair small tears or punctures in Swelltite's heavy geomembrane liner.
Flexible EPDM Tie-Back Head Cover
Volclay TB-Boot™ is a flexible, preformed EPDM boot used primarily to detail tie-back heads on soldier pile and lagging shoring walls. The flexible cone shape can be adjusted to a shallow depth for short tie-back heads or installed to its full height coverage when required.
Typical Applications
Volclay TB-Boot™ is designed for typical tie-back heads ranging up to 150mm (6″) in diameter. For covering larger tie-back heads, Allco recommends the use of field fabricated metal sheet boxes (minimum 25 gauge galvanised steel) filled with a 50/50 mix of Bentoseal® and waterstoppage (premium granular sodium bentonite). Contact Allco Waterproofing Solutions for additional application recommendations.
Granular Sodium Bentonite
Volclay Waterstoppage® is chemically treated, granular sodium bentonite used as a detailing accessory product for Volclay® Waterproofing Systems. When wetted, Waterstoppage® forms into a dense, low permeable material that combines with the sodium bentonite in the Volclay® System products to form a seamless waterproofing membrane.
Mineralogical composition of Waterstoppage® is a minimum 90% Montmorillonite with a maximum 10% native sediments and unaltered volcanic ash. Typical sieve analysis is 90% through a 20 mesh sieve and 10% through a 200 mesh sieve. Free swell rating of Waterstoppage® is: two grams sifted into deionised water swells to occupy a minimum volume of 16cc.
Volclay Waterstoppage® is used to fill cavities and voids in the substrate prior to installing the main bentonite waterproofing course. It is also used to seal around slab penetrations to form a continuous waterproofing system. A fillet of Waterstoppage® can be poured at the footing/wall junction to provide additional waterproofing protection. A 3 mm (1/8″) thick layer of Waterstoppage® is also applied to the top of tunnels and earth-covered roofs prior to the main Volclay® waterproofing material course.
Waterstoppage® is not an expansion joint sealant.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Police divers are searching South Florida waterways for body parts after a homeowner found a container floating in the water that contained human remains.
Fort Lauderdale Police Sgt. Frank Sousa said the man's body had been chopped up and placed in a container weighted down with concrete in an attempt to sink it. On Tuesday, police said the suspect went to great lengths to dispose of the body and conceal the victim's identity.
The medical examiner chipped through the concrete and found several body parts. Police did not go into detail and did not identify the victim.
Authorities are investigating whether the case is related to the slaying of Doris Lopez. Her body was found stuffed inside a cardboard barrel someone left inside her car last month in Delray Beach.

Eminem issues "The Warning" to Mariah Carey| July 31, 2009 at 5:06 PM EST
Am I the only one asking why there is even a "feud" between Mariah Carey, Eminem and Nick Cannon? I mean, when her "Obsessed" video debuted on NBC's "America's Got Talent," I was like, "Why is she making fun of Eminem? Isn't he some weird urine-bottling recluse now?" I can't decide if I'm just woefully behind the times or if it's just the fact that I literally could not care less about Eminem, Mariah Carey OR Nick Cannon. Probably a little of both.
However, the feud is heating up as Eminem has released "The Warning," a new song in which he claims to have "enough dirt on you to murder you," in reference to Mariah. He also claims in the song to have slept with her once and that she has an "alcoholic mind."
Nick Cannon jumped in the fray to defend his woman by saying he wants to meet up with Eminem to "deal with this like adults." Nick also claimed Eminem never got to "second base" with his wife.
Maybe they can have a drum-off.

November 28, 2014
Tyson Foods has changed its plans and decided to keep its beef plant in Denison open. Officials say the decision will save nearly 400 jobs in the western Iowa city of about 8,400 people.
Two years ago, Tyson said the aging slaughterhouse could close after completion of a $90 million expansion and modernization project at Tyson's beef plant in Dakota City, Nebraska. The Dakota City project originally was expected to be completed in mid-2013, but it's taken longer than anticipated. Completion is now expected this summer.
Tyson says reasons to keep open the Denison plant include the closing of some competitors' beef plants and the lower feed prices for cattle.

SALIDA - The Weston Ranch Junior Division all-stars claimed the District 67 All-Star Tournament championship Saturday at Salida Elementary with a thrilling 16-12 come-from-behind win over Tracy National.
TRACY - The City of Manteca may have celebrated a day early, but on the Fourth of July, Chris Ah Yo provided the fireworks.
Forgive a humble scribe for getting a bit sentimental, but after spending the Fourth of July watching the Northgate and Spreckels Park all-stars pour their hearts into our national pastime in the very town I played my Little League ball in, I couldn't help but walk away Saturday introspectively satisfied.
Three Little League District 67 all-star tournaments kick off action today in Manteca, Tracy and Salida and a number of local clubs are expected to do big things.
Fourteen-year-old Weston Ranch native David Molina is playing it by ear.
SALIDA - Spotty defensive play nearly blew a 7-2 lead for Tracy National's 13-14-year-old all-stars, but in the end it was defense that saved them.
Last weekend, I was invited to a premier showing of a new fishing and hunting show, which is scheduled to air this Saturday on Comcast SportsNet at 11a.m.
The fun begins for Northgate Little Leaguers Chris Ah You, Jake Pruitt and Ian Rodriguez on Fourth of July weekend.
There's something poetic about 12 beer-guts a side at a wooden-bat league baseball game on a Sunday in Turlock.
MERCED – With several players missing and temperatures reaching 111-degrees last weekend at the Merced Atlas Cup, the Manteca Futbol Club under-17 Extreme battled through the adversity to capture the championship.
In one of the more surprising results so far this season, Salida's Mike Beeler grabbed the first two victories of his career at the Stockton 99 Speedway last Saturday night by winning both ends of the Western Late Model doubleheader.
The Ripon Christian Girls' and Boys' Volleyball Camp for kids in grades 5 through 9 will be held July 14 through 17 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Ripon Christian High School Gym.
SALIDA – Hitting and pitching weren't the issues Tuesday night at Salida School, where the Spreckels Park's Junior Division all-stars squeaked past Mountain House 11-8 to pick up their second straight loser's bracket victory in the District 67 Tournament.
It was one of my favorite memories, partially because I was fishing, partly because I caught more fish than my brother, and partly because all four of us were there.
TURLOCK - Mallory Brubaker was the Manteca Dolphins' top individual performer in the Hughson Sea Dogs Invitational at Pitman High Saturday, earning first-place finishes in the 7-8-year-old girls 25- and 50-yard freestyle, and second in the 25 butterfly.
The Modesto Christian Kingsmen junior varsity downed the Ripon Knights 14-6 in Trans-Valley Youth Football League action.
Moral victories aren't going to get Lathrop any closer to its first-ever postseason appearance, but the Spartans proved to themselves and the rest of the Valley Oak League that they can compete with elite teams in last week's tough-to-swallow 14-12 homecoming loss to Manteca.
The Manteca Cowboys varsity rolled over the visiting Tracy Rampage 46-14 Saturday in DYSA action at Dino Cunial Field.

A little about me...
Hello, well if being happy and laughter is NOT a vital part of your life, please, pass me by. I love to joke, tongue in cheek, you name it. I even like laughing at myself.... Life is too hard without it. I am conscience of everything going on around me and hope you are happy and enjoying this life, even if it is without me (see, got you to smile). I love doing stain glass, mosaics, working on my street rod (cre8a47 is my license - hint), and playing with my grandkids. Just keeping life simple, and it's July - where did all the time go ? Thanks for stopping by, p.s. What I think about that special someone: It is what you feel in your heart, a nice face, warm, sincere, dreamy eye (to get lost in), luscious lips that like to be kissed is about 25% of the total picture, your weight and or size 10%, your heart, your feelings, your thoughts, your person, at least 65%. Every person I know, is absolutely beautiful inside and that's the way we should feel. I guess you can call me a inside man ?? (that's a joke)
About the one I'm looking for...
I think, someone that i can just be myself with. Enjoys laughing, touching, making out, playing hearts or cribidge and making out, or how about just making out in front of the fireplace, popcorn and a movie while on the couch, while making out. Surprises the other with dinner out, or a drive to 'Lookout Point' for making out. DO YOU SEE A TREND HERE ? If you don't like making out, I believe you're missing out. SEE, inside you really are smiling as you're reading this. (didn't everyone have a lookout point when they were younger, well, let's keep it going and make our own. WHAT is age, my number 66 means nothing to me, WHAT do you feel on the inside ??? 30, 40, 50 but not what you are now, right ? We are all looking for a match, just don't throw me out with the bath water. you might find two in the bath is kinda fun.... and yes, i am smiling at that..
I'd just like to add...
I like holding hands, walks, public displays of affection and of course, the person I'm with. Could that be you ?? Love all movies, yes, even 'chick flicks', they all have redeeming qualities. I am both right and left brained, so emotions/feelings are a part of me. I like all sports, just in moderation. I'd rather watch college sports, and no, I hate fencing. How would you like to play catch with me on a grassy field, tackling and tickling included..? I love walking on sandy beaches, finding coral and drift wood, a good dip is in order too. How about cooking, 2 in the kitchen is a lot more fun than one, we could spice up a great dish, what do you say? I forgot about music, I love it all, I'm more of an oldies/rock n roll, jazz, some good country, I can find something good in any of it, except for the loud, head banging, words that make no sense music.. Would anyone like to teach me to golf ? I would make a great caddy, except you would never stop laughing. I own a street rod if you like crusin, my license is cre8a47 for the year of my birth - hint. XO smiles

Review about Good Charlotte songs
Do you miss your little girl | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the song Emotionless performed by Good Charlotte
My dad left to be with another women when I was 4 and my brother was young too (I am now 14) and he sees us once a week but is very reserved and grumpy. He recently told us he was having another child with his 'partner' which both me and my brother found very upsetting. I can relate to this song a lot because it really sums up how I feel and when it says 'do you miss your little girl' I think this really calls out to me. Anyway thank you good charlottes for this great song!
GC IS THE BOMB | Reviewer: Abby Jones------ About the song The Anthem performed by Good Charlotte
This song is so awesome!!! It reflects who i am as a person and as a student attending a school. The "popular" crowds try to make me change or ignore me but i don't want to like them. So this song is the perfect song that reflects my opinion since i don't have a voice in the student crowd. Thanx GC for writing songs that reflects us!!!!!
Maybe Not About Christianity | Reviewer: Livvy------ About the song We Believe performed by Good Charlotte
This song more speaks to me about war - the woman's only son dying, and all the 'suits and ties' with a 'war to fight', and wondering how they can 'sleep at night', which to me is showing the huge difference between the people who start and continue wars, and the families of those who have to go fight.
It then goes on to say that we are "all the same", showing that there shouldn't be this huge disconnect where some are sent to die and some are left safe and happy to send these men off to die, and that we shouldn't have wars in the first place as we are all human and no one deserves to die in something as small as differences or not viewing a human's life as worth enough.
They are hypocrites. | Reviewer: David------ About the song Young & the Hopeless performed by Good Charlotte
I'd like to refer these guys to this one-hit wonder band that released this one song about celebrities complaining when their lives are incredibly easy due to their fame and fortune compared to the average American.
It's called "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" by Good Charlotte. You might have heard of it.
And don't give me any, "They were making it for the underprivileged." because you know that it was mainly made for them to vent about what's "troubling them" as a band.
awesome song | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the song Misery performed by Good Charlotte
This song is awesome it tells you to be who you really are not what the people around you expect you to be. Like at my school if your really smart they expect you to dress ugly and not know anything about what the "cool" kids know but they do and the "cool" kids are expected to be really dumb and in the lower classes. But this song help made only the tiniest bit self conscious so i can be me around anyone where they are pretending to be people who they aren't so i can live my life the way i want to and be my version of happy not theirs but they'll be happy like the other people are pretending to be. Another thing that helps is that my friends understand me and are their own happy aswell.
True | Reviewer: Raven------ About the song Say Anything performed by Good Charlotte
Woow this song just speaks to me. Unfortunely me and my best friend have faded away n it totally sucks I just wish I could tell her all of this. It's sad to think we are close to strangers now. Well we aren't really it's just that we have to pretend we are and worst of all I need to pretend that I'm alright with all this so she can get what she wants, what she needs
In Need of Boxes | Reviewer: Jordan------ About the song Moving On performed by Good Charlotte
I am in the process of moving, and I need some good moving boxes and moving supplies. I have heard really good things about smoothmovesupplies.com, but I was wondering what people thought about them? They have free shipping on their products, they look easy to set up, and they are pretty cheap. Check them out. www.smoothmovesupplies.com.
No one can stop me | Reviewer: Bereta masindi for really------ About the song S.O.S. performed by Good Charlotte
Awethi ya wena i ntlhavela ayi mbale minthavela yi pfumala cavela,yi khandiye navara,yi tlhave hi swotlhava yi tsandeke ku xopela yi pfuna hi copera,yi sungula ku kopela,loko ni hita yinini ka copela ni sungula ku baleka yi sungula ku borheka
Good job! | Reviewer: Fangirl------ About the song Once Upon a Time: The Battle of Life and Death performed by Good Charlotte
Nice work. I knew these were in Japanese, but I had no idea what they were! It's good that you put in the kanji, phonetic Japanese, and English. I've printed this and whenever I sing it at school my friends are all like "what does that mean?!" so I show them the translation that you so skillfully made!
:( | Reviewer: Hannah------ About the song Falling Away performed by Good Charlotte
In this song he is calling out to God for help because he has sold his soul to the Illuminati, ultimately, the devil. He puts it in code because he can't just come out and say it or the Illuminati will kill him.

Growing from a Redwood City sales position in 2009, to the company sake buyer in 2011, and then to the Head Sommelier in 2013 my love of wine spreads the gamut from mineral laden Sancerres to California Zinfandels aged over 20 years, Urban wines to classic Bordeaux, and 99% of the spirits that we carry. As a CIA trained chef I spent 15 years in some of the top kitchens in the country until my love of wine won out and I transitioned to the wine industry in 2004 where I began utilizing my skills as an instructor, a writer, and a restaurant consultant after passing the introductory level exam of The Court of Master Sommeliers. In 2010, I developed the first iPhone app for wine pronunciation, the Enotria Guide. In 2011, I became one of the few certified Sake Sommeliers in the country through the Sake Education Council. Outside of K&L I run private and corporate wine and spirits events around the Bay Area, consult on private cellars, and attempt to write professionally.

2013 Daou Vineyards Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 11-14-2014
This is the most bang for the buck you can get in California! Loaded with black licorice, mocha, black cherry, cola and Asian spices, the 2013 Daou really blew me away. The concentration of this wine is deep and intense, while still keeping a round, seamless mouth feel. When you taste this wine it is hard to believe it is under $25!
Price: $22.99
Ariston Aspasie "Carte Blanche" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-14-2014
It is remarkable to me, and to much of our wine staff, some of the unique, profoundly produced Champagnes from the small producers that Gary Westby, our Champagne Wine Buyer, has discovered over the last decade. Virtually all of these producers, including the Aristons, are making sparkling wine strictly from estate fruit from Grand Cru recognized vineyard sites, and in small lots. As with any small producer, these wines are hands-on creations that are given extensive individual attention and long term aging before being disgorged. The Ariston Carte Blanches exquisite, superb quality is at a mind boggling low price vis-à-vis its style and complexity. Rich and authoritative both on its nutty, doughy yeasty nose and in the mouth, the very fine mousse leads to an amazingly rich, full style brut, with a long, intense finish. Some of you will probably not enjoy this Gem, due to the fact that you have gotten use to flavorless, bulk productions from the international, well-known, simply made name brands, but for those of you that seek complexity and profoundness in your Champagne, you will not find one even close in quality to this Gem at this price. The Guys (Rusty, Eby, The Beaner, and Rizzo) have forcefully made this our house sparkling wine forever. Don't be afraid to age this wonderful Champagne; it will only keep getting better. ABV 12%
Drink from 2014 to 2020

2010 Our Wine Rkatsiteli Republic of Georgia | Public Pending Approval
Review Date: 11-14-2014
I LOVE ORANGE WINE (In case you're unfamiliar with what Orange Wine is, basically, it's white grapes pressed and left in contact with the skins/lees for a super long time...like years instead of days or months...). This Georgian beauty is full of flavors of roasted citrus peel and a crazy wonderful herb garden. It's almost waxy in texture and so grippy tannic! This is so "new" to most Americans but so old school in Eastern Europe. This is my winter white.
Price: $18.99
2010 Ostler "Caroline's" Pinot Noir Waitaki Valley North Otago
Review Date: 11-14-2014
Seriously stunning Pinot! A lovely perfume on the nose is quick to announce its presence. Soft tannins and persistent fruit on the palate with remarkable focus. The fruit and over-all loveliness of the wine continues beautifully into the finish. There won't be a lot of this available so you'll be well-served not to hesitate.
Price: $39.99
2010 Ostler "Caroline's" Pinot Noir Waitaki Valley North Otago

A lovely, expressive nose with a nice hint of development. A stylish and elegant Pinot drinking beautifully right now!

1988 Blair Athol 25 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Sherry Butt Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml | Public Pending Approval
Review Date: 11-14-2014
Don't think about it just buy it. For me the best cask of this "batch" of Signatory bottlings. Rich, textured, layered showing its sherry beautifully with a combination of ripe red fruits, cake spice and sweet rancio notes. An amazing bottle for the holiday season!
Price: $154.99
2011 Obsidian Ridge "Obsidian Ridge Vineyard" Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 11-13-2014
Obsidian Ridge Cab has always been my "go to" when I don't want to spend twice as much as some of the Napa Valley counterparts. From just north of Napa, this densely packed Cab hits all the right notes. Dark and full in the glass, with great aromatics of black current, cedar, baking spice and cassis. Super lush and forward on the palate with well-integrated oak and tannins making it the perfect winter red that can be enjoyed solo or with a juicy steak!
Price: $24.99
2013 Ancient Peaks/K&L Wine Merchants Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 11-12-2014
The Best Paso Cab I've had in a LONG Time! I love Ancient Peaks for its unique mesoclimate and being able to construct Paso Robles AVA Cabs that are so beautifully structured and food friendly. This has all the fruit you need but the structure, acid, and tannin that Paso Cabs usually lack, and it's not overripe, raisiny, or stewy as can be the case, either! Love, love, love this Cab and so will you!
Price: $24.99
2013 Brewer-Clifton/K&L Wine Merchants "B-C. Kessler-Haak Vineyard" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Review Date: 11-12-2014
Bright, forward, yet sweetly seductive, this K&L Barrel selection Pinot Noir delivers all the goods! Not as candied as the typical Brewer Clifton Pinots tend to be, yet still shows the same intensity of red fruits. The aromatics burst out of the glass and the palate is full of juicy, bright fruit, acid, and seamless texture. This is amazing to drink now or put away for a few years! Such a Thanksgiving classic!
Price: $39.99
2013 Au Bon Climat/K&L Wine Merchants "Bien Nacido Vineyard" Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 11-12-2014
Last years Co-Branded Pinot Noir from Au Bon Climat was such a hit we couldnt help but to make it again! Once again we think Jim Clendenen and his wildly talented crew at Au Bon Climat has out done themselves with the quality of the components that they allowed us to make this wine from. Just like last year this wine is 100% fruit from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard, with both components coming from Block 2, which was planted in 1994. Made from 50% Clone 113 and 50% Clone 115, of which 50% was whole-cluster fermented, this was actually the first blend we put together once we ran through all of the components we had available to us. Thats right; we nailed this blend on the first go around! We certainly tried to improve it but it always lingered on our palates as the best of the bunch. Instantly drinkable this is packed with boisterous red fruits on the nose of Bing cherry and muddled raspberry with a hint of sassafras, tarragon and finely ground white pepper. Mouthfilling and with no roughness, which is impressive in its youth, this is one easily gulpable wine but its so much more serious than what youd first expect. With velvety fine tannins and a persistent mouthwatering acidity this wine has plenty of structure to get better over the next 4-8 years. However if you drink it now youll be able to experience plenty of delicious flavors like red plum, dragonfruit, cola, violets and Rainier cherries. Long and lasting on the palate with a likeable plush texture we think this Pinot has a little something to please everyone. Go ahead prove us wrong.

2013 Bethel Heights/K&L Wine Merchants Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
Review Date: 11-12-2014
On our recent trip to Oregon this summer we certainly found plenty of great wines and met with a multitude of amazingly talented people. Many of the wines we found on that trip have already come in and sold out mostly due to our sheer excitement about the quality of wines we found. One of the most exciting opportunities from that trip was to work closely with our friends at Bethel Heights to put together a Pinot Noir exclusive to K&L as part of our burgeoning Co-Branded project. This 2013 Bethel Heights/K&L Wine Merchants Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir ($24.99) is a blend of the young vibrant fruit of the bordering Bjornson Vineyard, a vineyard planted in 1996, and the more nuanced, ethereal fruit from the old Wädenswil block at Bethel Heights Estate, planted in 1977. Ben Casteel (winemaker for BH), the K&L staff and I came up with and tasted numerous blends before we enthusiastically chose the one in the bottle here. We thought it was a perfect middle ground between the sappy, rich black fruits of Bjornson and the more earthen, sage and subtle red fruits from the Estate. We loved how the nose really spoke of classic Oregon Pinot focusing on earthen, sous bois and floral tones rather than chunky fruit. The wine is seamless in texture at this point with a feminine frame and well integrated acid/tannin interplay. A bit of aeration, either by untwisting the convenient Stelvin closure or popping this into a decanter, will really help to heighten the lovely tones of loganberry, evergreen, black currant, white sage, new leather and lavender found here. Thanks to the entire Casteel Family for helping make this wonderful wine that we couldnt be prouder to have our name on!

2011 Zind Humbrecht Pinot Blanc | Public Pending Approval
Review Date: 11-12-2014
The aromatics of this Pinot Blanc blew me away, never have I had a Pinot Blanc with so much intensity. The nose is extremely complex, full of honeysuckle, snowbell flowers, honeycomb, apricot, pears, and I can go on and on and on....The palate starts out similar to the nose with honey and pear until all of a sudden you're smacked with high acid, slate, wet stone, and steely minerality. The finish is long, dry, and satisfying. An exceptional Alsatian white that is sure to become a staple in my home.
Price: $21.99
2012 Domaine Cabirau Côtes du Roussillon | Public Pending Approval
Review Date: 11-12-2014
The wine reminds me of the holidays! With a nose of clove, black pepper, cardamom, and bramble fruits and a palate full of ripe plums, blackberries, baking spices and fine tannins, all youll need is this bottle to season and spice up your holidays.
Price: $12.99
2012 Greywacke Pinot Noir Marlborough
Review Date: 11-12-2014
Former Cloudy Bay winemaker Kevin Judd has knocked it out of the park with his 2012 Greywacke Pinot Noir. The bouquet opens with ripe raspberry, cherry, earth, clove, forrest floor and dried orange peel that is framed by light toasted oak that is perfectly integrated. On the palate there is good acidity giving a juicy mid-palate that is supported by dusty fine supple tannins and a long finish. Delicious.
Price: $29.99
2009 Domaine Cabirau "Malgre les Fonctionnaires" Côtes du Roussillon
Review Date: 11-11-2014
This is one of these wines that completely surprised me. Crimson color and a very meaty, irony nose. Loved that, and expected a somehow savory herby palate. Than the surprise commenced... Cocoa powder, raspberry coulis, and plums, fruity for sure, but delicately so, and with lots of minerality. Very well balanced with silky-soft tannins. Think of it as a dry and lighter Banyuls-like wine. An absolutely delicious Roussillon (Catalan) wine.
Price: $10.99

BERLIN — Online retailer Amazon reacted to mounting criticism Monday by firing a security company named in a German television documentary about alleged mistreatment of foreign temporary workers.
An Amazon spokeswoman in Germany said the company had ended its relationship with Hensel European Security Services "with immediate effect."
"Amazon has a zero tolerance limit for discrimination and intimidation and expects the same of other companies we work with," spokeswoman Ulrike Stoecker said in an email to the Associated Press.
A documentary shown on German public television channel ARD last week showed staff of the security company — whose initials spell out the surname of Adolf Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess — wearing clothes linked to Germany's neo-Nazi scene. It also interviewed people claiming they were intimidated by the security guards, who were stationed at a holiday camp where the temporary staff were housed.
The company, hired by one of Amazon's subcontractors, last week denied it supported far-right opinions. "We employ Christians, Muslims and Buddhists," the company said in a statement Friday. "The allegations of far-right sympathies can't be reconciled with that."
The ARD documentary alleged a broader climate of intimidation at Amazon's seven logistics centers in Germany. AP

Whether they've seen him play or not, people will always identify Kwesi Abakah as a basketball player.
Those who haven't seen his North Gwinnett team play the past few seasons will still assume that his sport is basketball -- the natural assumption for someone who is 6-foot-9.
While the sport is an important part of who the North senior is, it's just one of many interests in his life. He wasn't voted "Most Involved" by the North seniors without reason.
"I had a great upbringing and my parents always kept me involved and active with sports, academics and anything else," Abakah said of his many interests. "Now it's kind of second nature."
In addition to Abakah's basketball and numerous school clubs, he also plays the trumpet and the piano. He plays in North's band -- he was in the marching bands from his freshman to junior year -- and carries a 3.7 GPA in advanced placement and honors classes.
"Kwesi's a tremendous kid," North boys basketball coach Zach Smith said. "He's as well-rounded a kid as there is in our school. ... He's very intelligent obviously. He's well-spoken. He really is a great kid. He's got a bright future outside of basketball."
Abakah also enjoys singing. You may have caught him performing the National Anthem before a North basketball game this season.
"Music's something I do for fun," Abakah said. "Basketball and education have been the major focus for me."
Basketball also led to numerous education options for Abakah.
He had scholarship offers and an intriguing preferred walk-on spot at Georgia Tech (both his parents are engineers who went to Tech), but committed recently to Northeastern. He enjoyed his visit to the Boston school and knew it was a great place for him, both academically and athletically.
"Definitely the academics were important," Abakah said. "They have a very good engineering program and they ranked No. 62 in the U.S. News College Rankings (for 2012). ... Of course the athletic program was important, too. They play in the CAA, a competitive D-I conference, with Georgia State, Drexel, VCU, all those teams. It's the best of both worlds in academics and athletics."
Abakah has always been a star in the classroom, while mixing a variety of sports during his youth. He played soccer, baseball, tennis and basketball, bouncing from season to season.
He played tennis as a North freshman, then shifted his interest fully to basketball. He played on North's freshman and junior varsity basketball teams his first two seasons, and wasn't one of the team's stars.
But between his sophomore and junior seasons, everything came together with loads of hard work.
"He's a hard worker and he's really worked to develop his team," Smith said. "He went through the program, played on the ninth-grade team, played on the JV team. I don't think he averaged 10 points on the JV team. Then between his JV and junior year, he really made a lot of improvement. He made a big impact on our team as a junior and this past year he was one of the better players in the region."
That transition year was fun for Abakah, who jumped into the varsity starting lineup as a junior, where he averaged 8.2 points and a team-high 6.1 rebounds.
"I just improved on a little bit of everything (before my junior year), a lot of intangibles, like being more aggressive going after every rebound," Abakah said.
He averaged 7.2 points and 7.7 boards as a senior, helping the Bulldogs to the Elite Eight of the state tournament. His two-year varsity showing, and his long-term potential, led to heavy interest from college recruiters.
It didn't hurt that he's 6-9, and Northeastern plans to use him primarily at power forward.
"He's got a lot of upside," Smith said. "He's still raw offensively, so he's got a lot of room to improve offensively. He's a very good defender and he understands positioning on the defensive end. Those are things that are either you have them or you don't. And he's got them. That's good because now he can go to work on his offensive skills."
It's also a safe bet that academics and athletics won't be Abakah's only activities at Northeastern. He loves to stay involved, a trait he said he learned from his family. He credits them for fueling his success, and helping him earn the scholarship to Northeastern.
"I have to thank my parents," Abakah said. "My mom and dad have been with me through it all, taking me to practices, signing me up for training, giving me pep talks before and after games. With getting my highlight videos up on YouTube (for college recruiters), my brother came and videoed all my games. My mom and dad helped edit the video. I owe a lot to all of them."

Benefits Administration
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has made successful strides in the last two years in its automated query and response system, according to a new report.
CMS' Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 Eligibility Transaction System (HETS) is a real-time data processing environment that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It provides data to users about Medicare beneficiaries and their eligibility to receive payment for health care services and supplies. From January through June, HETS processed each month an average of 1.7 million to 2.2 million queries per day, GAO reported in its report released Oct. 5.
CMS officials turned around the foundering system this year. They made several hardware and software replacements and upgrades, and system performance reports for the first six months of this year showed the average response time per transaction was less than 3 seconds. Since then, users find the system running well.
"They told us that they are currently satisfied with the operational status of HETS and that the system provides more complete information and reliable service than other systems that they use to verify eligibility with commercial health insurers," GAO wrote.
In efforts to improve HETS, CMS began notifying users in advance of system downtime for repairs, which often happen early on Monday mornings. Officials also provide help desk support and they monitor contractors' job performance.
On top of that, CMS is preparing for increased usage. The agency has planned several technical improvements to boost HETS' processing capacity. Officials project a growth rate of about 40 percent annually. Officials plan for a redesign of the system and migration to a new database environment.
In the immediate, HETS program officials told GAO they plan to soon set up tools to enable proactive monitoring of the system's components and additional services intended to enhance production capacity until the system redesign is finished.
In response to the report, Health and Human Services Department told GAO it will continue its improvements to keep HETS' running smoothly.
After apologizing for the problems in 2010 and 2011, Jim Esquea (pictured), assistant secretary for legislation at HHS, wrote, "HHS is pleased that GAO confirmed CMS's success at correcting operational problems and improving the reliability of the HETS."

"Fun & Funky design that is good for everyone in our family from the kids to the adults all year round. We'll be reordering. It would be absolutely perfect if it could be modified to say "A note from" or something like that so you aren't limited to sending as a thank you note, but not a big deal as we send mostly thank yous."
"I ordered these thank you notes expecting them to arrive just a day or so before I needed them. They arrived a week earlier then planned. I am extremely pleased with the look and quality of these."
"This delicately detailed thank you card is just precious ... it perfectly suits its use, which is for thank you notes for my newborn son."
"This is a very nice card. The card stock is heavy, like other Tiny Prints cards. This particular piece is nice because it is relatively simple and leaves a lot of space to write the note."
"This simple thank you note is chic and stylish, not over-stated. A quick thank you for gifts received for the little one is surely appreciated when the gift giver opens up this beautiful thank you note."
