Small wineries rely on volunteers to crush grapes

Volunteers Mike Poole (left) and Terry Munson (in green) help pick leaves out of the grapes as they run up the conveyor. Chris Gorman (top, in black) said these particular grapes are from the oldest chardonnay vines in the state.

Grapes are pulled onto a conveyor to be sorted. John Patterson, owner of Patterson Cellars, will make cabernet with the grapes.
In the alley of a drab industrial complex in Woodinville, giant bins of grapes begin the journey to their fermented fate as wine.
It's crush time.
Get those "I Love Lucy" images out of your head. Grapes are stomped by machines, not dancing feet.
Much is hands-on labor: Sort grapes. Destem. Pick leaves. Clean bins. Push brooms. Swat bees.
Think you got what it takes to help liberate the contents of the berries?
Many small wineries rely on volunteers to keep operating costs down. Volunteers are fed lunch and go home with wine.
"We punched down some vats this morning and stirred things up," said volunteer Mike Poole, 50, of Seattle, semi-retired from the Air Force. "It's fun to get out and see how all this stuff comes together. And I get a bottle of wine at the end of the day."
Some volunteers are aspiring vintners and college interns. Yes, you can get a degree in winemaking.
"A lot have day jobs. They enjoy coming out and seeing how it happens," said John Patterson, owner of Patterson Cellars.
"We try to pay them X number of dollars in wine. The formula is like $15 an hour in wine."
The foreplay of winemaking isn't as romantic as it might seem.
"It's much more work than one would imagine," Patterson said. "It's not like you're going to get dirty, you just get sticky."
Crush season runs around Labor Day and extends through October.
"We process fruit seven days a week," said Patterson, who crushes for about 20 wineries in this complex, known as the Warehouse District.
Volunteers work alongside winery employees. That collaborative spirit extends among wineries. During crush, boutique winemakers help each other out.
The once sleepy town of Woodinville has become a wine and libation mecca.
"There are about 100 tasting rooms and wineries in Woodinville," said Patterson, co-chairman of Woodinville Wine Country. "We have five breweries and five distilleries."
Who knew?
"A lot of people who live here have no idea," he said.
The concentration of boutique wineries in the Warehouse District at the north end of town lets people explore tasting rooms on foot.
"There are 38 wineries and tasting rooms in this park," said Patterson, who has a tasting room here and in the Hollywood Hill area of Woodinville.
Typically, bottling is in the spring and summer. Bottling volunteers also get wined and dined and it's not so sticky.
Terry Munson likes the rush of crush.
"The experience is sensory as opposed to sitting in front of a computer," said longtime volunteer Munson, 49, an Internet content specialist.
A bee cozies up to his arm as he stabs a giant plastic pitchfork at 1,000 pounds of grapes from a bin tilted by a forklift. Clusters fall into a pan overseen by Munson and a few other bare-handed guys who work in swift harmony to scoot grapes onto the conveyer hopper leading to a pneumatic press.
Munson ignores the pesky bee. After all, he has never been stung in his years pitching in here.
"I volunteered at a tasting room event, and it kind of took off from there. I was curious about the process," he said. "I don't plan to be a winemaker."
He enjoys the fruit of his labor another way.
"It's kind of fun to be at a dinner party and I'll pull something out and say, 'Yeah, I helped crush this,'" he said.

Crush Me. Squeeze Me. Make Me Wine: Westport Winery's beach festival is from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

I don't think that was the implication. The implications was that ANY self identification with the any of the 5 Skandha, causes suffering. That is what he meant. So to say "I am transgender. I am man, I am woman, I am (insert whatever here) makes suffering. So he was addressing not the "transgender" part but the "I am" part.

Never be missed. The CatEye Rapid 5 tail safety light includes the high power center SMD-LED and two 5mm LEDs of the Rapid 3, but adds two more side mounted high-power SMD-LEDs for maximum visibility from all directions.
Four modes allow you to customize your visibility. The rapid mode is an all out attention grabber, using all 5 LEDs in a unique pattern guaranteed to get you noticed. The peleton-friendly pulse mode foregoes the high-power center LED to save blinding your riding buddies, while the constant and flashing modes add daytime safety options.
2 included AAA batteries will run the Rapid 5 for up to 100hrs and comes with the SP-11 FlexTight™ bracket. Compatible with the all-new RM-1 Saddle Rail bracket and the clothing clip, available separately.

Comments about Cateye TL-LD650 Rapid 5 Tail Light:
I feel confident that cars will see me when I use this light. It is secure in the mount. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically easily. And, a pretty good battery life.
I would give it 4 stars, except it only comes with seat-post mount. If you want to attach it to clothes, pack, rack or frame, you must buy the attachments from Cateye and pay shipping.

Gaston County Schools spent almost $31,000 to give raises to three central office administrators and a technology manager.
The raises showed up in January paychecks, a measure to ensure competitive salaries, said Gaston County Schools Superintendent Reeves McGlohon.
"I think leadership is important in any organization and certainly in our school system," McGlohon said. "And we need to have competitive salaries throughout the district but certainly in key leadership positions. And I felt that we needed to make some adjustments to salaries."
The school board does not have to give its approval of salary changes because salary adjustments are a function of the superintendent, he said.
Money to pay for salary increases came from vacant positions, McGlohon said.
Mixed opinions
School board member Chris Howell would like to see the school board vote before any salary changes are made. Monday, he proposed allowing the school board to approve any central office cabinet salary increases. The school board didn't vote on his attempted motion, but did go into closed session to talk about the salary increases that had already been made.
"I'm not looking to micromanage the superintendent," Howell said. "I think there are times when people might need a salary increase that is above the standard system increase of 1.2 percent. I think the board should have the responsibility of approving large salary increases as part of their financial responsibility to the community and this system."
School board member Dot Guthrie said she trusts the superintendent to make the right decisions in making sure qualified staff in the district are paid a salary competitive with what they might receive elsewhere.
"I don't necessarily think we should have to vote. I think we need to give the superintendent more flexibility. He undoubtedly knows more about that. We're there to set policy," said Board of Education Chairman Kenny Lutz. "He's got to run the school system however he sees is fair. He does have to answer to us."
Most companies have pay ranges, and in this case a few of those ranges needed to be adjusted, said Board of Education Vice Chairman Jeff Ramsey.
"I don't think it's an increase," Ramsey said. "It's more of an adjustment that was out of place."
Unhappy parent, official
Chris McClure, a parent who was PTO president at McAdenville Elementary until two weeks ago, disagreed with the decision to raise central office salaries.
"That's not right. That's totally unfair," McClure said. "But let me say this, I do not know what each and every one of their jobs involves."
McClure said other parents will object to the news.
"They're not going to be happy. When you give a 1-percent raise to teachers and a 10-percent raise to a boss, they're not going to be happy about that. I would say 50 percent of the parents are going to complain," McClure said. "How can you personally justify that? How can any board justify that?"
County commissioners learned about the raises after an upset teacher emailed them, said Vice Chairman Tracy Philbeck.
"I understand the need to recruit good people," Philbeck said. "But in tough economic times, when teachers are way underpaid now, to take what monies you have now, to give it to people already making $80,000, $90,000, to me that's unreasonable."

The Fox Float uses an air spring, which keeps the weight very minimal. This version of the Float is from Fox's Evolution series. Though basic, the version of the Float still has the same quality suspension that Fox is known for. Strong 32mm diameter stanchions cycle smoothly through in order to provide you with reliable travel. 120mm of travel allow you to ride aggressively through treterous XC / enduro trails. The Float's air spring now has less breakaway force. Fox also upgraded the Float series by giving it a longer negative spring and reduced the air spring compression ratio for a more linear feel. For 2014, the damping has been updated for a stiffer feel, and thew weight has been reduced. You'll enjoy the perks of Fox's more expensive forks without breaking the bank.
CTD is short for Climb, Trail, and Descend. It is a three position on the fly system that provides three distinct compression dampings that you'd typically need on an average ride. CTD is extremely useful on the trail. The rider is quickly able to flip the lever between the three positions, and which results in being used numerously throughout the ride. CTD is much faster than the older click system, where the rider would have to stop and click through to find the proper setting.
Climb mode has the firmest low- speed compression, which maximizes pedaling efficiency and has minimal suspension movement. Internally, the oil flow is restricted, and can only flow through the Climb port, which limits the suspension's movement. In the event of a hard impact, the spring loaded blow- off valve will allow the damper to go into its travel. Trail mode provides an optimal blend of pedaling efficiency and control on variable terrain. The oil flow is opened to the mid and high speed compression shim stack. Descend mode provides the rider with the most active suspension. Descend mode is an optimized low- speed compression setting which provides the perfect balance of control and plushness for steep, aggressive descents. Oil is able to flow through the high, mid, and low speed ports. CTD is easily controlled by switching the dial on the crown of the fork. This quick and easy adjustment allows the rider to control their suspension on the fly.

RYAN VREDE writes Heyneke Meyer must resist the temptation to veer from his plan to blood more young players on the year-end tour in favour of more conservative selections.
In an informal chat just after his announcement as Springboks coach, Meyer indicated to me that he planned to gradually introduce young talent through the Rugby Championship and open the tap further for the year-end tour with a view to building squad depth ahead of 2013, which he felt from the outset would be a far more successful season than the current one.
Meyer didn't say as much, but he would have undoubtedly expected better than the four in nine return (two draws) he sits with. Pressure has mounted quickly, and fuelled by what is perceived to be an unimaginative game plan. Meyer desperately needs his sojourn to Europe to be a successful one. However, he must display the courage of his initial conviction in his selections. This is not a call for a troop of young turks to take on Ireland, Scotland and England. Balance is key. But Meyer's selections have to be made with a view to the future, not one designed for damage control.
The Springboks squad will be named on Saturday evening and is sure to include a couple of names that will be questioned – most notably Morné Steyn and Zane Kirchner. Neither have justified Meyer's faith in them through their performances and their struggles have become chronic. There are alternatives – younger and more dynamic ones.
Meyer will be particularly hard-pressed to explain Steyn as a starter if he opts for that selection. There will be rhetoric about his tactical and goal kicking value in northern hemisphere conditions, but Steyn has shown a low level of competence in both these disciplines of late. In Johan Goosen's absence Pat Lambie must start, with Elton Jantjies providing cover on the wood. Lambie's game management was exceptional in Durban on Saturday. But this would not surprise anyone who has followed his career closely. His temperament and technical and tactical aptitude has been sternly tested in the past, most notably in the 2010 Currie Cup final when he drove the Sharks to victory over a Springboks-laden Western Province side. He is 22, but plays with composure and intelligence beyond those years.
It is a fallacy that Lambie ahead of Steyn will be a bold call. It is the logical one.
It has to be noted that injuries to exciting young talents leaves Meyer shorter on fresh blood than he otherwise would have been. Coenie Oosthuizen's season-ending back injury is a hammer blow to Meyer, who rates the prop highly and is in the process of grooming him as a tighthead (where he'll play for the Cheetahs in 2013). Meyer is short on experienced cover at tighthead but has spoken glowingly of WP's Frans Malherbe, including the 21-year-old in his training camps throughout the season. Pat Cilliers covered the position in the Rugby Championship, acquitting himself well. CJ van der Linde was called up to the Springboks' squad in the latter part of the tournament, but he is a spent force whose ability to cover loosehead and tighthead can no longer be offered for his retention.
Furthermore, Siya Kolisi (thumb) and Piet van Zyl, whom Meyer was deeply impressed by, would have come into consideration had they not been ruled out for the remainder of the year.
I'd find a place in the squad for the Sharks' Pieter-Steph du Toit, 20, who is able to cover lock and blindside flank. Du Toit was instrumental in the Baby Boks' success at the Junior World Championships in June and has show himself to be a player of immense promise, more so than Jacques Potgieter, whom is an impostor at Test level. The Bulls' No 8 Arno Botha has shone despite playing behind a decidedly mediocre pack. His international education must continue in Europe.

I think Pelicans would be ok, but not with a Mardi Gras color scheme.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I like the Knights as a name and how u made it
What happened? I thought they said they would be posting more on 247 later in the day, yesterday.
Didn't we have an Arena team back in the day called the Knights?
EDIT: it was the NEw Orleans NIGHT lol

If we use night we might as well contact a tribe called quest and ask for the name midnight marauders. Great album, great name they could even do pregame intros to the song midnight. The name sounds a whole heck of a lot cooler than pelicans, although pelicans is not terrible
The 'New Orleans Pelicans' just sounds laughable. I mean, come on. I can't believe we're even taking about this.
For that matter, the 'Crescents' also could work. As could many others. I did like that Uni watch ESPN design for the Pelicans, but i think it just sounds too childish
Knicks is short hand for a pair of pants.
New Orleans Fighting Kwame Browns.
I hope they keep Hornets.
Really depends on what the owner usually likes. That's how most team names are decided.
Whatever Benson wants is what the team will get.
For some reason, I'm thinking New Orleans Crescents seems ok right now.
If we're looking for a team name that represents the fans, we could name it the New Orleans Complains About Everything...ers.
"Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under taxes and frauds and maladministraions so that it has become a study for archaeologists...but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
Lafcadio Hearn (Inventing New Orleans: Writings of Lafcadio Hearn)
When the polling was done earlier in the year a high majority wanted a name change.
When there was voting on the possible names there were mixed results.
If a report came out that Krewe, Brass, Angels or any other alternative we have discussed was a possibility there would be just as many people complaining. I hear things like "Knights are better" "Should have stayed with Hornets" "Pelicans sounds childish" the majority wanted a name with REAL local ties to the city/region and this name does that(if it was to be chosen).
Follow me on Twitter - www.twitter.com/ryinthehottub
Pelicans would be my second choice, but I stand pretty firm in saying that I feel we should take advantage of this opportunity to go the 'Golden State' route.
Why must we be the 'New Orleans ___________'. I think 'Crescent City __________' gives us a lot more options with names, while adding a unique flair. Most people that know New Orleans, even in the most distant of ways, would understand the reference, whatever it may be.
I'll probably champion that until I die, though.
Lol the team isnt any different with a new name. But personally i followed the team purely because it had a cool logo and Baron was goooood. Grew out of that, honestly if the team is named the Pelicans and they start winning i dont think anyone would care about the name then. And if they do care, less bandwagon fans!

It couldn't have gotten much harder for the U.S. National Team at the FIFA World Cup Draw as they were drawn into a "Group of Death" in Group G against Germany, Ghana and Portugal. However, at a closer glance, the draw is not a mission impossible for Jurgen Klinsmann's group.
The U.S. opens the World Cup in Brazil on June 16 against Ghana at the Arena das Dunas in Natal. The match is undoubtedly the most important one for the U.S. as they must get past the team that eliminated them from the past two World Cups in order to have a reasonable chance to advance from the group. As the U.S. are well-aware, the Black Stars are a major challenge as they have a mix of physicality and technical skill that should give the Americans a major test. That being said, if the U.S. midfield can control the game and the Americans can capitalize on their opportunities, they may get past the African side.
In their second game, the U.S. will face Portugal in the Amazonian outpost of Manaus on June 22. Not only must the Americans best a side that boasts one of the world's finest players in Cristiano Ronaldo, they must deal with the crippling heat and humidity of the Amazon. In June, the average temperatures in Manaus are typically in the high-80's with more than 80 percent humidity, which promises to be a muggy game that could favor an American squad that should be better acclimated to the conditions due to a potentially high presence of North American-based players. However sticking to strictly on the field matters, Portugal may seemlike a stiff test, but the nation struggled during UEFA World Cup qualifying as they finished second in their group to Russia—with two draws against Israel as well as a draw against Northern Ireland—before defeating Sweden in a playoff to advance to Brazil.
Lastly, The U.S, have traditional powerhouse Germany in the final game on June 26 in Recife is the Americans' best case scenario as they should face a German team that may already have a ticket into the second round. Against a German team that could be loaded with reserves, the U.S. should be able to stay competitive against a side that promises to be organized and immensely talented.
What will make their draw even more difficult is the immense travel that they must undertake for all three matches. With three games in Natal, Manus and Recife, the U.S. could travel nearly 9,000 miles round trip during their Group G campaign. The one benefit for the Americans however is that their MLS players should be accustomed to immense travel as well as heat and humidity, however, the benefit of charter flights should cut down on the exhaustion.
My prediction for a best case—and relatively realistic— scenario for the U.S. is a simple one: a victory against Ghana coupled with a Germany win over Portugal during the first match day. In the second match day, the U.S. must earn a draw—or a close win—against Portugal with a Germany victory over Ghana in the second day setting up a draw or close loss to an already qualified Germany in the final match day. If the Americans can find a way to earn points in their first two games, at the very least, they should negate the impact of Portugal's final match against Ghana.

Immediately following the World Cup draw, I spoke with LA Galaxy head coach -- and former U.S. National team boss -- Bruce Arena on his thoughts on the U.S.' draw for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The U.S. was drawn into Group G against Ghana, Portugal and Germany. Remember, the U.S. will open up the year at StubHub Center against South Korea on Feb. 1.
Check out Arena's thoughts below.
The U.S. National Team received an extremely difficult draw for the 2014 World Cup as they were placed in Group G alongside Germany, Ghana and Portugal.
The U.S. will open the tournament on June 16 in Arena das Dunas against Brazil before facing Portugal in the Amazon city of Manaus on June 22. They'll complete the group stage in Recife against Germany on June 26.

LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo finished second in MLSsoccer.com's Save of the Year voting as Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando took home the honors.
Penedo's remarkable stop of a close range Vancouver Whitecaps FC defender Jordan Harvey effort back in August earned 24.47 percent of the vote in what was an extremely close tally finishing less than six percentage points behind Rimando's save during RSL's August draw with the Colorado Rapids which garnered 29.94 percent. To show just how close the voting was, FC Dallas' Raul Fernandez finished in third with 22.3 percent for his save on Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes in July while Portland Timbers' Donovan Ricketts save on Vancouver back in October earned 23.28 percent of the voting.
Meanwhile, Vancouver Whitecaps FC forward Camilo earned the Goal of the Year honors. Both the Goal of the Year and the Save of the Year were selected by fan voting on MLSsoccer.com
Even though it may not have won...let's relive that Penedo save through the magic of GIFs...
Chicago Fire forward Mike Magee was voted the 2013 Volkswagen MLS MVP award on Thursday with his former LA Galaxy teammate Robbie Keane finishing second in the voting.
Magee was tremendously succcessful in 2013 as he scored 21 goals and four assists in a year that included a May trade from the LA Galaxy to his hometown Fire who narrowly missed out on the postseason. The 29-year-old ran away with the voting -- which was preformed by club employees, players and media -- earning a weighted total of 98.81 while Keane earned a weighted total of 58.57 finishing second to Magee. Montreal Impact forward Marco Di Vaio and New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill finished third and fourth respectively in the voting
Magee becomes the second MLS MVP that did not make the playoffs joining D.C. United's Dewayne De Rosario who won the award in 2011.

It's been Omar Gonzalez day on LAGalaxy.com with loads of Gonzalez content and up next,Gonzalez discussed the U.S. National Team, dual citizenship, saxophones, football, beer chugging, and more on ESPN's Highly Questionable.
Check it out below...
Omar Gonzalez had a successful 2013 at the club and international level, but 2014 could be something even more substantial.
I look back at Gonzalez's 2013 season in my latest LA Galaxy Insider Year in Review piece. Gonzalez was undoubtedly successful as he earned the club's Defender of the Year award, was a finalist for MLS Defender of the Year and an MLS Best XI selection while also locking down a regular place on the U.S. National Team.
The Galaxy center back is expected to contend for a roster spot –and a place in the starting XI—on the U.S. National Team's roster at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and while Gonzalez is staying "even keeled" ahead of a big year, he's hopeful that he'll be on the plane to South America.
"There's no really Cinderella story so I feel like every team in the World Cup is a great team and deserves to be there. Whoever we're matched up against is going to be a tough group," Gonzalez told reporters in a conference call a week ago. "I've never been to a World Cup, but I'm sure that I'll be getting at Robbie to ask him questions about how it is. It's going to be a fun year and hopefully, I can keep my form, stay healthy, and hopefully I'll be there."
Will Gonzalez be at the World Cup in 2014?
Omar Gonzalez appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday morning to promote the U.S. National Team, the World Cup, the new adidas match ball brazuca and the LA Galaxy.

Tuesday Notes: Club Tijuana appoint new manager; Donovan finishes third for Futbol de Primera 2013 Player of the Year
The LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal opponents Club Tijuana will have a new coach when they take on LA in the CCL in March.
Club Tijuana appointed Venezuelan Cesar Farias to replace Jorge Almiron who led the Xolos to a 10th place finish in the 2013 Apertura season. Farias led Venezuela to the Copa America semifinals in 2011 after helping the nation reach the Under-20 World Cup in 2009. Farias will begin his career with Club Tijuana on Dec. 28 with a friendly against Club America at StubHub Center.

During MLS Commissioner Don Garber's State of the League address on Tuesday, former LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham's interest in installing an MLS expansion team in Miami was undoubtedly a hot button topic.
Beckham's connection to Miami has been reported since he retired from soccer earlier this year, but talk has been heating up as of late. While Miami was mentioned along with Atlanta, Minneapolis and San Antonio as possible MLS expansion locations, Garber admitted that it was far from finished.
"There's a lot of work that needs to happen … We can't go to Miami without the right stadium solution. David understands that. The city understands that. That's an indisputable fact. We can't have different rules in Miami that we have in any other city," Garber said during the event. "We want to do as much as we can to work with David and [his business manager] Simon Fuller to get something done as quickly as we can."
Garber continued: "We are very excited about the opportunity of having David put together an ownership group and finalizing a stadium site in downtown Miami so that we can end up having what we hope will be our 22nd team in a city that is one of the largest in the country and has a very strong, passionate fan base but there is a lot of word that needs to happen," Garber said. "Part of that is continuing the discussions that the ownership group has been having with the city and the [Port of Miami] site and potentially other sites."
Although reports have stated that Beckham is looking to get a deal done by years end, based on Garber's comments, any announcement seems to be a work in progress at the moment.
So I leave the question to you…will David Beckham get an MLS team in Miami?

Paul Jasmin | California DreamingPosted: November 27th, 2011 | Author: doug | Filed under: Books, Los Angeles, Photography, Quotes
Paul Jasmin, a Los Angeles based photographer and instructor at Pasadena's Art Center, has a new book out, California Dreaming.
Many of the photographs have been shot in and around my apartment on Wilshire Blvd. A lot of them where done just a bit more than one year ago, especially for the book. So most of the images are from the last two years.
- Paul Jasmin
The older I get, the more I realize that it´s all about dreams. That´s why I like California – it´s all about dreaming. Especially when your young, it´s the dream that keeps you going. That´s what I enjoy taking pictures of, these young people, dreamers, striving to become an actor, a model or an artist. Many of the images in the book are of kids of friends.
- Paul Jasmin
All my images are from a movie in one way or another. It´s a sort of romanticism. They reflects alot of me in that age – I was born in Montana but I wanted to go to Hollywod and become an actor.
- Paul Jasmin

Bryce Hendrix wasn't even in the final playing group on Wednesday, much less a thought to win the 28th annual Roy Jones/BB&T Junior Golf Classic.
But Hendrix thought otherwise.
The Greenville native went low on both sides of the course, and fought his way back after trailing the first-round leader by five strokes to capture the 16-18 age group and overall championship with a two-day 1-under 171 at the Kinston Country Club.
Hendrix, a rising junior at Greenville Conley, trailed Kinston's Riley Davis after firing a 2-over 73 on Tuesday. But over the course of the final 18 holes on Wednesday the leaders fell behind while Hendrix took over.
"I've just been playing good the past couple of weeks and I thought I had a pretty good chance," a speechless Hendrix said. "I knew (the leader) probably wouldn't shot a 68 again."
Davis, who's first round 68 matched a tournament low with Hendrix's Day 2 score, didn't have as good a day as his first.
The Parrott Academy graduate stumbled to a 10-over 81 on Wednesday, was 7-over on the front nine to fall out of contention and finished the tournament eight shots back of Hendrix.
Fellow Parrott Academy standout Jack Sides was in contention until the 18th, when his tee shot sailed out of bounds.
Sides, who denied a request to be interviewed by The Free Press following the tournament, finished in third with a two-day 143.
Last year's winner, P.J. Kester of Wrightsville Beach, shot a 1-under 70 Wednesday to finish in second.
But Wednesday was all about Hendrix, a first time winner who said he's been playing well of late.
"Honestly, I don't even know," a speechless Hendrix said. "I've just been playing great the past couple of weeks. At my last tournament I shot a 68 … and came here and I just kind of did my own thing."
Hendrix said his ball-striking was vastly improved from Tuesday's round, which was evident on the par-4 16th.
Hendrix landed his 3-wood off the tee to about 150 yards of the cup. He then stuck a knock-down 9-iron to within 20 feet, then holed out from there.
Hendrix also played the front nine bogey free.
"Yesterday my swing was not in-sync at all. I just was not hitting it well but today it kind of clicked a little bit better," he said.
"That kind of got me going a little bit."
The win was retribution of sorts for Hendrix. He led the field last month after the first day of the NCHSAA state 3A championships with a 4-under 68, then returned the following day to go 2-over and finish third.
Patrick Stephenson of Four Oaks won the 14-15 age group with a two-day 142. Washington's Matthew Chandler, who had the second-best day with a 69 on Tuesday, went 1-over on Wednesday but won the 12-13 age group with a 141.
Connor Dunn of Raleigh shot an 80 to win the 10-11 age group, which plays only nine holes each day.
Retired local businessman Roy Jones, along with his wife, Brenda, began this event 28 years ago.
While there's no exact timetable for how long the Joneses will continue to be involved, he did hint at making it to year number 30.
With each passing tournament it keeps improving, he said.
"I'd have to say this year has been as good as any we've ever done," Jones said. "It seems like it always gets better.
"It's been a pleasure to do it for 28 years. Let's say we're going to look at 30 and then we'll think about it."

HAVELOCK — Head coach Bo Lansche gathered his New Bern wrestlers together and encouraged them to finish strong at the Bighorn Duals at Havelock High on Saturday.
Approaching the final match, the Bears lost three in a row, and were looking for a boost.
"It's good to end on a good note," Lansche said. "We knew it was going to be tough. In tournaments like this, where the competition is tough, these guys have to keep themselves up each match."
The two-day tournament brought 10 high schools to Havelock High for a dual team match. Powerhouse Jack Britt (9-0) had the best record, and dropped New Bern, 62-6.
The Bears won their first five matches before losing three of their final four.
White Oak,
"It's a big draw where every kid could potentially wrestle nine matches,"
The Bears lost to Jack Britt (4A) and Croatan (2A) — both competitors for the dual team state titles.
"Jack Britt coming is huge because they are in our region," Lansche said. "They are tough this year. They are going to be a tough team to beat."
Senior DeAndre Jones, at 182 pounds, had a solid day for
"They are going to be huge," Lansche said. "They are going to have to step up as leaders. They have to lead by example."
Freshman Josh Hawkins won six matches, while freshman Dalton Hill won five. Demetrius Davis won five matches.
Junior Ryan Davis notched a perfect 9-0 mark at 132 and 138 pounds, while junior John Ellis went 7-0 at 152 and 160 pounds.
"Those are the guys we look at to score points for us every match," Whitford said. "They are going to go deep in individual tournaments. They set the pace in the practice room as captains."
Rams' freshmen Jacob Barber (113 pounds) and Chandler Day (106) won half of their matches.
"We are still making freshmen mistakes, but we are starting to wrestle better and turn it around," Whitford said. "We are starting to see a lot more positives than negatives."

First there was the music business, which shifted radically when people learned to download music digitally. Movies are up next, and like music, the challenge for the movie studios is to figure out how to get people to pay for movies that they're downloading digitally. And the next frontier is print media: newspapers, magazines, and books.
A few of my friends are traditional journalists, the kind of that get paid to write for newspapers and magazines. Whenever people say that blogs are going to take over the news, I'm not so sure. Food bloggers can easily go into the kitchen and whip up a batch of brownies, but until political bloggers start paying their own way and going to the front lines of the war in Iraq, there is still an argument for conventional journalism. But still, in order to make it work, there needs to be a way to pay for it.
The publishing industry went into a tailspin the past few years, and is trying to find its footing. Books have rebounded but many magazines and newspapers are barely hanging on, and few good ones disappeared. Those that remain reduced their staff and payroll, and with the media asking bloggers and others to work for free, it doesn't seem to me like a sustainable business model if you're relying on free labor to keep afloat.

Imagine a world where the oceans are free of plastic trash…
Algalita envisions a marine environment that is healthy, sustainable and productive for all living creatures, free from plastic pollution. We believe that together, we can combat the crisis through research, education, and action. Do you share our vision?
What we do:
As the pioneers in the study of plastic pollution, we were the first to spearhead the research methodology for collecting and analyzing microplastic samples from the ocean.
Captain Moore and his research team continue to monitor one of the most polluted areas of the world – the North Pacific Gyre, home of the swirling vortex of plastic trash.
Algalita spreads solutions through international youth-led action campaigns to reduce plastic waste by educating, motivating, and empowering students and teachers.

Last summer, many people thought that The Neighbors sounded ridiculous and believed that it would be one of the first new shows to be cancelled. Well, shows like Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue have come and gone but The Neighbors lasted for a full season. But, will it be back for season two?
The Neighbors follows the Weaver family after they've moved into an idyllic gated community in New Jersey. The only problem is that the rest of the suburban residents are actually aliens from the planet Zabvron. They end up staying and the Weavers and the aliens face life's challenges together and learn from one another along the way.
The sitcom's cast includes Lenny Venito, Jami Gertz, Clara Mamet, Max Charles, Isabella Cramp, Simon Templeman, Toks Olagundoye, Ian Patrick, and Tim Jo.
Debuting on September 26th, The Neighbors drew a healthy 3.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.22 million total viewers. That was a very positive start but, in week two, the numbers dropped 30-40%. That's an amazingly bad decline.
The ratings went up and down slightly over the course of the season but ultimately ended up trending downward. In mid-March, The Neighbors hit a series low with a meager 1.4 demo rating and just 4.76 million viewers.
With The Middle and Modern Family anchoring their Wednesday night comedy block, ABC has been searching for new ratings hits but they didn't find one in The Neighbors.
Considering the ratings, it looks highly unlikely that ABC will bring the show back next year. Still, the network typically shows some extra faith in one or two struggling new shows each year so that could help.
What do you think? Do you think The Neighbors should be renewed for a second season? Were you initially skeptical about the series? Did you change your mind?

About UNDP in Jordan
For more than thirty six years the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Jordan served the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan with its knowledge and expertise, financially and technically assisting Jordan to improve the lives of local communities.
UNDP engages with Jordanians at all levels of society to provide support in developing their capacities to enhance their livelihood. UNDP Jordan works closely with the government of Jordan to meet the needs of citizens and tackle the challenges facing the kingdom in the following areas of support: Reducing Poverty and Achieving the Millennium Development Goals, Promoting Democratic Governance, Climate Change and Protecting the Environment and Management and Preparedness for Potential Disaster.
Promoting gender equity, inclusion of youth in development programmes, and the protection and promotion of human rights are main components of UNDP Jordan's attention in the areas of support provided to Jordan.
UNDP Jordan remains attentive to respond to the development needs in Jordan in alignment with the national priorities.
What do we want to accomplish?
In Jordan, UNDP's focus is to support the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in providing solutions to the challenges of:
- Reducing Poverty and Achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
- Promoting Democratic Governance
- Climate Change and Protecting the Environment
- Management and Preparedness for Potential Disasters
In all these areas of support, UNDP pays particular attention to connecting to the UN global knowledge networks, promoting gender equity, inclusion of youth in development programmes, and the protection and promotion of human rights.
Our results
Jordan Country Office, through working with different implementing partners in the areas of Poverty Reduction, Democratic Governance, Crisis Prevention & Recovery, and Environment & Energy managed to implement many projects based on the national priorities and the emerging need of the country.
UNDP projects addressed the policy level as well as implementation at the national and local levels. This involved establishing real partnerships with the different national institutions (government, NGOs, and CBOs), grassroots, and local communities.
Results achieved in the past five years included:
- Formulation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy 2013-2020
- Climate Change Policy (the first for Jordan and in the Region)
- Establishment of Dibeen Natural Reserve
- Trans-locating the coral reefs in Aqaba
- Supporting the establishment of the Independent Elections Commission (IEC), and the 2013 parliamentary elections.
- Establishing a national automated system for property tax collection.
- Achieving a historical milestone, being the first country in the Middle East to meet the deadline set by the Ottawa Mine-Ban Treaty and declare itself free of minefields, through the Northern Border Clearance Project, which succeeded in clearing an estimated 136,000 landmines (anti-personnel and anti-tank) in a mine belt of approximately 10.5 square Km in area, stretching 104 Km along the Jordan-Syria border.
Who are the decision makers?
The Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme is the highest United Nations official and the chief of UNDP Jordan Office accredited to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Comment: Nice gloves,soft leather with cushioned palms, but had a tear in seam by right thumb.about 2in. long. my girlfriend stitched rather than returning them.
Phoenix, AZ
Comment: My hands would go numb after 60 to 80 miles, or so, of riding. I would have to ride my clutch so I could shake the feeling back in to my throttle hand. I thought these gloves might help a little, but to my surprise they help a lot! So much so I ordered another pair just to have a back up.
Comment: These are fine gloves and that "nerve-protection" concern is real, so these will see some miles. BTW, these were part of my first order from Jafrum, filled correctly, great prices, quick delivery. Appreciated

Leo Waterman isn't looking for trouble when he and his forensic pathologist girlfriend Rebecca escape into the Washington wilder for a few days of relaxation -- it just seems to find him.

But what starts as irksome harassment by the offended locals soon escalates into the real of the lethal. And it's just Waterman's luck to be in the epicenter of this murderous mess at the very moment it bursts into flames.

Most everyone is simply complaining because it's not their favorite. That's silly. To even bring up not cheering for the team anymore because of the name, well that's assinine.
If they had come out with dog poop as the name, then maybe I could understand most of the responses in this thread. But our state bird? I'm just asking for perspective.
My love and support for the team won't change because of the name... but as a born and raised New Orleanian, that cares about MY city, then I've earned the right to ***** and moan about the name of the team that's representing MY city.
I'll still love them... I just hate the name. Don't see what's so wrong about that. just because other teams have jacked up names doesn't make it right.
PS- da Throne....
I was commenting on the general feel and tone of the thread. Don't take my response as saying nothing is valid.
I completely agree that the alliteration of New Orleans Pelicans is lacking. As I said, my choice would be Krewe.

Pelicans has grown on me. Its unique, fits the state, and is a bit goofy (to me, now in a good way) and endearing.
The post is written, awaiting some calls to come back, proof, maybe a little more research.
There's not much that has not been said, but getting it out with correct info (there has been misinformation on this board) is nore important (to me) than getting it out nownownow when much of it is already public.
Post up tomorrow regardless. It'd be today if it wasn't a game day. Don't expect some secret knowledge about the 'truth'. We don't have it at this time and don't plan on getting it.

ooooh this seasons gifs may end up being better then last seasons tank pics. lol
I didn't tweet, but they looked pretty matter of fact to me. Looks like a case of eager reader.
I will yell you that the main reason the post was not out Tuesday or Wednesday was that I was setting up for Hornets247 that will start to see the light of day in a week or two. Let's not chicken count yet, but it should be good.

PHILADELPHIA – For as seamlessly as Seth Curry scored in Duke's 73-61 defeat of Albany on Friday, his biggest bucket came amid a scrambled situation that could've become costly.
Albany had trimmed its game-long deficit to eight points, when the Blue Devils' Quinn Cook missed a jumper with the shot clock close to expiring in these teams' NCAA Tournament opener.
Securing the rebound meant the Great Danes would have a chance to rally closer and perhaps turn up the pressure during the final four minutes at Wells Fargo Center.
"If we got it, it could have changed the game around," Albany guard Mike Black said. "But we didn't and that's a credit to Duke. They made the hustle play."
Albany's 5-foot-10 Jacob Iati and Duke's 6-10 Mason Plumlee pursued the bouncing basketball. Iati said he thought he would grab it, but suddenly Plumlee's lunging tip knocked the ball to Curry, upright amid the diving bodies.
Curry drove and converted an open layup, part of his 10 field goals and 26 points, delivered on a collection of smooth jumpers and drives.
Duke led 66-56. And Albany's last gasp had been repelled.
Afterward, on the interview podium, Black and Iati called that the game's defining sequence. Meanwhile, in the Duke locker room, Cook used "big" and Plumlee "huge" as descriptors.
"We need guys who are engaged," Plumlee said, commending Curry's alertness. "We can't have guys going back early on defense. We can't have guys leaking out on offense. We need more plays like that if we're going to win games.
"If you just get after it, sometimes the aggressor comes out with it. So you've just got to make sure you're putting yourself in those positions."

War All the Time
War All the Time (Paperback)
Related Editions
War All the Time is a selection of poetry from the early 1980s. Charles Bukowski shows that he is still as pure as ever but he has evolved into a slightly happier man that has found some fame and love. These poems show how he grapples with his past and future colliding.
About the Author
Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

I've been running [Glyph of Holy Wrath] for the last couple of months. Originally, it was for Ragnaros, to add extra stuns on the Sons of Flame.
But it turns out that there are a lot of other places you can use Holy Wrath and get off a short stun, especially in Firelands. This glyph is turning out to be quite enjoyable. I'm rather glad that Ragnaros provides an excuse to take this glyph instead of the more pure healing choices.
My current favorite place to use the Holy Wrath stun is Heroic Ryolith. The little blobs that move towards Ryolith and increase his armor when they fuse are elementals. So you're busy healing, and you notice that a pack of blobs are moving past you towards Ryolith. A quick Holy Wrath, they're all stunned, and that delays the increase to Ryolith's armor, theoretically speeding up the kill. Realistically, it probably doesn't make a huge difference, but I enjoy stunning the blobs, so I'll pretend it's vital for the kill.
You can also stun the regular elemental adds, but that's less interesting.
There are a lot of other places where the AoE stun can be used. It's especially easy for a healer to use, because you don't have to change targets, you just have to be close by the mobs.
So, [Glyph of Holy Wrath]. A surprisingly fun and useful little glyph.

When leveling in Deepholm, it was almost a requirement given all the elementals around.
Nice to see Holy Spec get some use out of that glyph.

Don't get too attached to it. Sources say Holy Wrath is being completely redesigned as a "nuke for holy" in MoP.

I really like Glyph of Holy Wrath too :) On Rhyolith N/H, our strat is to have me heal with RF on to draw the Fragments and make them easier for the tank to pick up, so combining the HW stun, Warstomp and Divine Protection makes life pretty easy on that count.
I always like discovering a million uses for a spell - Aura Mastery is still my favourite for that. So many options!
