Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
December 23, 2013
E! News says sources connected to the show "Duck Dynasty", and the Robertson clan, say the family is "very serious" about leaving the reality series, after the network suspended Phil Robertson for his GQ interview, in which he grouped homosexuality in with bestiality as deviant behavior. One source says, quote, "They're an extremely tight-knit family and they're not going to let this get in the way. [Phil] is the reason for their success—they're not going to abandon him. They're also not about to let anyone threaten their religious beliefs."
Apparently, 19 children just isn't enough. Michelle Duggar and her husband Jim Bob of '19 Kids and Counting' made the surprising announcement Tuesday that they are expecting their 20th child. Michelle — who's three and a half months pregnant – says she was surprised to discover that she's expecting again at 45. She says, quote, "I was not thinking that God would give us another one, and we are just so grateful."
Tom Cruise has dropped his $50 million lawsuit against Life & Style magazine for claiming he abandoned his daughter Suri. Terms of a possible settlement have not been revealed, though both parties have agreed to pay their own legal costs. Tom's attorney Bert Fields said, "Tom doesn't go around suing people. He's not a litigious guy. But when these sleaze peddlers try to make money with disgusting lies about his relationship with his child, you bet he's going to sue." Tom denied the magazine's allegations, saying at one point: "The assertion that I 'abandoned' Suri after my divorce is patently false... I have in no way cut Suri out of my life — whether physically, emotionally, financially or otherwise."
12/20/13 Snooki Getting Boobs
Friday, December 20, 2013
What's the best Christmas gift you've ever received from a friend? Something tells me it wasn't quite as over-the-top as this: JWOWW is giving SNOOKI the gift of FAKE BOOBS. Snooki says, quote, "The next time you see me I'm going to be out here. She bought me a boob job for Christmas. I didn't get them yet, clearly."
MARGOT ROBBIE says filming a sex scene with LEONARDO DICAPRIO in "The Wolf of Wall Street" was anything but erotic . . . quote, "We [had to] entice this dog to jump in the bed and bite at Leo's feet . . . so we had dog trainers at the end of the bed [with] dog treats . . . we're putting chicken liver on Leo's toes. We're in a small room, it's hot, it's sweaty, [and] it smells like dog food."
Radar Online has put together a collection of GWYNETH PALTROW'S Most Outrageous and Out-Of-Touch Quotes.
They include: "I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year" . . . "I'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a [can]" . . . and "When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat."
Denise Richards is reportedly willing to take Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's twin sons back because the twins could be placed in foster care after Children & Family Services were shown evidence of major inconsistencies in Brooke Mueller's drug treatment program. Denise Richards gave up custody of the boys last month because they were hitting and kicking her daughters and her dogs. But sources say she's willing to take them back so that they don't go into foster care.
12/19/13 Khloe's Divorce $$
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, December 19, 2013
In a recent interview, ORLANDO BLOOM said one of the things he's learned through his studies of Buddhism is, quote, "The goal of men and the world should be to make all mothers happy. Women, as mothers of the earth, deserve the utmost respect." But he refused to answer questions about his soon-to-be ex-wife MIRANDA KERR.
PAMELA ANDERSON was in Canada on Tuesday with a group of activists who were offering $1 million to the Canadian Sealers Association if they would END a yearly seal hunt. But Mark Critch, a comedian from a satirical news show called "This Hour Has 22 Minutes", showed up and offered Pam an equivalent payout . . . if she would QUIT ACTING. Obviously, she tried to ignore him. At first he calls it a million dollar check, but later he drives home the point that there are so many people in the sealers association that Pam's bribe only amounts to $165 per person. So THAT'S the amount that he was offering her. Classic.
GWYNETH PALTROW has been trying to rebrand herself as some kind of lifestyle guru these days. But it sounds like the OG of domestic goddesses, MARTHA STEWART, isn't impressed. The paparazzi asked Martha which of them was the "better lifestyle coach". And she replied, quote, "Oh for Heaven's sake, you have to live to be a coach."
Reportedly, Khloe Kardashian will get $7 million in the divorce from Lamar Odom. Sources say Khloe will get to keep their mansion which is worth $4 million and her $1m diamond engagement ring. She will also be awarded a $2 million cash payout which is $500,000 for every year of marriage. Their pre-nup is said to be iron-clad so there will be no fighting over money.
12/18/13 Kim K Denying Rumors
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN is denying Internet accusations that she waxes her 6-month-old daughter's eyebrows. She Tweeted, quote, "Do people really think I would wax my daughter's eyebrows so young? Come on, I'd wait until she's at least 2 1/2! I'm kidding!!! It's pretty sick for people to insinuate that I would wax my daughter's eyebrows. They are thick, natural, and amazing!" Meanwhile, Kim's rep is denying a rumor that KANYE WEST is paying $250,000 for a 24-7 "glam squad" to be on call to spruce her up whenever she needs it.
In her interview for the BARBARA WALTERS "Most Fascinating People" special, JENNIFER LAWRENCE says it should be ILLEGAL to call somebody "fat" on TV. She says, quote, "I think the media needs to take responsibility for the effect it has on our younger generation on these girls that are watching these television shows and picking up how to talk and how to be cool."
Lindsay Lohan is working on her singing career and wants to release another album. Lilo was in a recording studio in New York City over the weekend, experimenting with various tracks. Sources say she's interested in releasing an electronic dance music album. She hasn't signed with a label yet, but she's working on it.
Charlie Sheen lost three of his closet advisors last week. Charlie's longtime manager Mark Burg, publicist Larry Solters and entertainment lawyer Jake Bloom all resigned. Sources say that the three could not work effectively for Sheen because he is too much of a loose cannon right now. The sources say Sheen was refusing to listen to their advice and counsel.
12/17/13 Colin Farrell's Secret Relationship
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, December 17, 2013
MILEY CYRUS says that after breaking up with LIAM HEMSWORTH, she's not afraid to be single anymore. She says, quote, "I was so scared of ever being alone, and I think, conquering that fear, this year, was actually bigger than any other transition that I had, this entire year." But she doesn't regret being engaged to him . . . quote, "It was so fun wearing a fat rock for a few years."
LAMAR ODOM'S 15-year-old daughter Destiny isn't heartbroken over her dad's impending divorce from KHLOE KARDASHIAN. During an online chat she said, quote, "No one thought they were going to last, so honestly, who [cares]?" She also said she doesn't want them to reconcile because, quote, "I have him all to myself now!"
During a show over the weekend, KANYE WEST told the audience that everything he does and says is for US . . . quote, "[The media] try to make it seem like my whole purpose . . . is about me. But . . . what they don't realize, and what I think you all realize is, everything I do is actually about you." He also said he's been, quote, "dope since age mother[effin'] five."
CHRIS BROWN had his probation revoked yesterday, but he won't be going to jail. Instead, the judge is allowing him to stay in anger management rehab, where he's apparently been making progress. Chris will continue to take the prescription meds his doctors have prescribed for him, and he's still not allowed to use medical marijuana.
Colin Farrell says he had a "relationship" with the late Elizabeth Taylor. They met in the hospital when his youngest son Henry was being born, and Taylor was there to get a stint in her heart. Farrell said that they sent flowers to each other which led to a face-to-face meeting and the beginning of "the last kind of romantic relationship" that he's had, even though it was never consummated. He said that they bonded over their shared insomnia, and would often talk on the phone in the wee hours of the morning. He even joked that he wanted to be her eighth husband, saying, "I wanted to be number eight, but we ran out of road."

this should prolly be in the "Beginner" section, but what the hell.....
was drilling up a Hammond enclosure last nite, and it's clear that I don't have the right tools for the job. I was drilling (or rather trying to drill) pilot holes w/ my Dremel mini-press w/ whatever bit came with the thing, and it was travelling all over the damn place. Also the bit wouldn't even cut all the way thru the case -- it would basically just dig a hole in the aluminum, which wasn't tragic, because it was a pilot hole after all.
1. what bit do i need for the dremel?
B. do i need a punch? if so, what one?
iii. do folks recommend using 3-in-1? and lastly,
d. Unibit: yay or nay?
thanks in advance for yr help.

2013 Wines Of Substance Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 03-25-2015
Another smoking deal from Washington State. This rich, focused, varietally correct Cabernet is something of a miracle. Most of the Cabs in this price-point either are a bit dilute on the palate, or tutti-frutti and of little interest. Well, here is the exception! Structured, with just enough new oak to be interesting but not enough to dominate, this shows those lovely lead pencil notes that are so charming. At this ridiculously value-priced retail, I suspect it will not be around for long.
Top Value!
Price: $14.99
2012 Vincent Girardin St-Aubin 1er Cru "Murgers Dent de Chien"
Review Date: 03-24-2015
This rich and delicious Saint Aubin comes from one of my favorite vineyards in Burgundy. It is located just over the hill from Chevalier Montrachet, and cheek by jowl with Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gain 1er Cru. If this said Puligny 1er Cru on the label it would sell for twice the price. This is rich and focused, long on the palate and quite delicious. Don't miss it!
Price: $41.99
2013 Domaine Vincent & Sophie Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "les Baudines"
Review Date: 03-24-2015
This 1er Cru vineyard is located on the border with Santenay, high on the hill. It can also be labeled as Bois de Chassagne. As it is a high and rocky site, it was not replanted for many years after the phylloxera blight struck. But it is an interesting site. Although it is high on the hill, it has a substantial amount of clay in the soil. But it is white clay rather than the darker soil found lower on the slope. The result is a wine with lots of high-energy, high tension drive and lovely fruit notes. Delicious!
Price: $59.95
2006 Maison Nicolas Potel Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Aux Malconsorts"
Review Date: 03-12-2015
This is darker and earthier in character with a thread of minerality that runs forever on your palate. When I tasted this, I asked Nicolas if this was from high on the hill, near Gaudichots. He smiled, raised his glass, nodded and winked, which I took as a clear "yes." This is a real sleeper, less known than his Gaudichots. Nicolas is using homeopathic/biodynamic sprays in this vineyard, as he puts it, "to give more information to the vines." Lovely black fruit here. Do not miss this in 2006! (03/2008)
Price: $119.99
2012 Domaine Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
Review Date: 03-11-2015
A bit of a wild beast, with exuberant and ripe fruit, and an explosive presence on the palate. An infant, certain to resist being stuffed in a bottle, but what a ride this will be ...
Price: $289.95
2012 Olivier Leflaive St-Aubin 1er Cru "Charmois"
Review Date: 03-03-2015
In Burgundy, it is all about terroir, a sense of place. What this means is that it is location, location, location. And here we have it. Charmois sits right on the border with Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chaumees. But wine from the other side of the invisible dotted line will cost you about 50% more money. So if you are looking for a bargain, you will see why we got the U.S. exclusive for this wine from Olivier Leflaive. Bright and crisp, with focused minerality and length, this is a terrific accompaniment for some grilled shrimp. The 15% of new oak gives a gentle toastiness to this wine, without dominating the flavors.
Price: $41.99
2012 Joseph Faiveley Bouzeron Aligoté
Review Date: 02-24-2015
Bouzeron is a special place. Thanks to Aubert de Villaine, proprietor of the world famous Domaine de la Romanee Conti, it is an all-Aligote appellation. These vines are leased by Faiveley from de Villaine, and produce a wine that is bright and crisp, with a fascinating nuttiness. Delightful!
Price: $19.99
2012 Domaine Faiveley Mercurey "Villeranges"
Review Date: 02-24-2015
On the border between Rully and Mercurey in the Cote Chalonnaise, Domaine Faiveley sources their "Les Villeranges" from an east-facing vineyard planted in clay-limestone soils. The vines were planted between 1965 and 1982 and Faiveley only produces 200 cases of this cuvee annually. This has darker and denser fruit than the 2011, but retains the supple entry and lovely red and black fruit notes on the palate
Top Value!
Price: $24.99
2012 Domaine Faiveley Corton-Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru (Monopole)
Review Date: 02-24-2015
This wine has become one of the flagships of the Faiveley portfolio the last few years. Singing with dark red fruit and boasting a truly impressive concentration, this is a wine to cellar, and to give time to mature. If you do, you will have an impressively balanced, truly Grand Cru experience. If you cannot wait, decant it for an hour or more to enjoy the opulent focused character of this wine.
Price: $229.95
2013 Jean-Paul Brun "Terres Dorees" Chardonnay Beaujolais Blanc
Review Date: 02-19-2015
It is rare that I get excited about Beaujolais Blanc. But that is because I love Chardonnay grown on limestone soils (like the Cote d'Or). Unfortunately, the limestone of the Cote d'Or and Cote Chalonaise dives deep undergound, leaving Beaujolais with a granitic soil, less well-suited for Chardonnay.
The cagey Jean-Paul Brun knows an amazing fact. In the far southern end of Beaujolais that magical limestone resurfaces. He was able to acquire some 80 year old Chardonnay vines on just this soil. he makes the wine in stainless steel, with no oak influence.
The result is an interesting Chardonnay of great richness, with pear and citrus notes. it finishes with bright and refreshing acidity and a rich buttery note. A charming wine for a song.

The Durand Corkscrew for Removal of Old Corks with Confidence
Review Date: 02-16-2015
I thought I did not need a single additional wine gadget, but this one took me by surprise. It is the single best invention I have ever seen for opening old bottles of wine with long and fragile corks! It is a combination of an Ah-So style opener and a worm. Between them they reliably work together to grab the cork, and remove it intact. It is handmade in the U.S., from a design by Mark Taylor, and named to honor sommelier Yves Durand. It is not cheap. But if you are opening a priceless old bottle, it is well worth it to have an intact cork come out of that cherished wine bottle. I have one personally, and swear by it for old Bordeaux, Burgundy or California wines! Nothing is perfect, and no one bats 1000, but this device comes as close as I have encountered. There is a reason we have sold 100s of these, even at this price. If you open priceless old bottles, you can hardly afford to be without it.

Louis Bouillot Cremant de Bourgogne "Perle d'Aurore" Brut Rosé
Review Date: 02-16-2015
This delightful sparkling rosé wine comes from Burgundy. It is made of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Gamay Noir. The charming eye of the swan color comes from the addition of Pinot Noir to the wine when the lees are disgorged, following the traditional fermentation in the individual bottle, in the Champagne method. On the palate it is very rich and fruity but just off-dry on the finish. The mousse is explosive, with a very creamy palate impression. It shows just a hint of the earthiness of a Pinot Noir from Burgundy. This charming rosé, has been a perennial best-seller for K&L, and if you taste it, you will see why.
Price: $14.99
2008 Louise Brison Vintage Brut Champagne
Review Date: 02-06-2015
A fantastic reflection of this, one of my favorite vintages in Champagne. It is 50% barrel fermented Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir fermented in tank. When combined with the long, cool growing season in 2008, the result is a Champagne that initially impresses you as a Blanc de Blancs due to its laser-like precision and high acidity. But then, on the mid-to-back palate it subtly reveals the richness and red fruit notes of the Pinot Noir. Delicious for drinking now, with all the material you could ask for long-term aging.
Price: $29.99
2010 Pyramid Valley Vineyards "Calvert" Pinot Noir Central Otago
Review Date: 02-04-2015
Lovely, concentrated, most elegant in character. This was a vintage where there were a lot of shot bunches (the Burgundians call it millerandage, the Americans Hen and Chicks). the result is a concentrated, focused and most delightful Pinot that could hold its head high in any quarters.
Price: $39.99
2012 Yangarra Estate "Old Vine" Grenache McLaren Vale
Review Date: 02-04-2015
Planted in 1946, so the vigor is low. Soils are a mixture of sandstone and decomposed sandstone (sand). Big, spicy and expressive on the palate, this nonetheless retains delicacy and focus, once you get past the rather steely structure. Decant this to drink now or wait some years.
Price: $22.99
2012 Domaine Cyrot-Buthiau Volnay
Review Date: 02-03-2015
This Volnay is a wonderful reflection of the village, coming, as it does form the Meursault side, the Pommard side and the top of the hill. It is rich and concentrated, with lovely ripe phenolics and a long and expressive finish. This domaine is a welcome addition to K&L's Direct Import program and represents an amazing value. 2/2015

2012 Domaine Cyrot-Buthiau Santenay 1er Cru "Clos Rousseau "
Review Date: 02-03-2015
A lovely ripe nose is followed by dark red fruits and a bit of earthiness. This lovely Santenay comes form the border with Maranges and shares that regions rich fruit character. The wine has very gentle tannins and a darker color due to the fermentation technique called delestage. A ripe, concentrated and lovely wine at a most reasonable tariff. Try a Premier Cru Burgundy from the original home of Pinot, for less than many Oregon Pinot Noirs, thanks to K&L's Direct Import program. 2/2015

2012 Domaine Marius Delarche Corton-Renardes Grand Cru
Review Date: 01-29-2015
For me, renardes, Bressandes and Clos du Roi are without equal among the grand cru reds from Crton. To findone, from a great vintage, at this price is only possible because of our direct purchase. The rich texture, drive and weight all reveal clearly tha tthis is Grand Cru. The palate impression is very rich, with ripe tannins. There is just a hint of sauvage/foxy notes that this vineyard is known for. Bravo Etienne! (03/2014)

2012 Domaine Delarche Aloxe-Corton
Review Date: 01-29-2015
As is often the case, there is a bright core of acidity here in the Aloxe, and more prominent red fruit notes. The tannin structure is very fine, and the finish persistent. Thi sis an elegant wine which will benefit from some time in the cellar. The color is deep and limpid, and athe lovely cherry fruit is most charming. (03/2014)
Price: $39.95
2005 Valandraud, St-Emilion
Review Date: 11-09-2014
If you like your Bordeaux old-fashioned, earthy and not too powerful, this is NOT for you. But, if you love modern, rich, full-throttle Bordeaux, where they manage to find the balance of new oak, fruit and density, this IS for you. A dark and inky hue shows just a touch of ruby around the edge as the wine reaches almost ten years of age. This big, ripe, fleshy, almost burly wine shows toasty oak in the back palate and the material needed for hedonism today or a long nap in your cellar. A cult wine like this at 1/2 price, with bottle age already on it--what's not to like?
Drink from 2014 to 2014

Stðlzle Exquisite Burgundy Glass
Review Date: 10-10-2014
This is a very good Pinot Noir glass. More graceful in shape than the Spiegelau, with a nice effect for concentrating the nose. It works well on both domestic Pinot Noir and Burgundy, and is most affordable, at these ridiculously low close-out prices.

2011 Tamarack Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 07-31-2014
This may be the least expensive Cab in our stock that will age beautifully for a decade or more, It's solid, well-made, masculine and has a nice acidity to keep it fresh on the palate. Decant and drink now or age for 5-15 years. Just do not miss it entirely and regret it later.

2008 Sesta di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 07-16-2014
This is very, very good. It has lovely fruit, and is just opening and losing its angularity it showed a year ago. This is bottled unfined and unfiltered and is a terrific cellar candidate. Don't overlook the so-called lesser vintages from great wine-growers like this! It has found a place in my cellar.

2013 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Pinot Noir Marlborough
Review Date: 07-11-2014
This organically and biodynamically-grown Pinot Noir shows a bit more flesh than past vintages, as it comes from two vineyards. One has gravelly soil, the other is a steep slope with more clay. The result is a Pinot of both finesse and power, at a very reasonable price for the quality. Bravo!

Bruno Michel Brut Rosé Champagne (1.5L)
Review Date: 06-19-2014
OK, folks, this is a story that you have to love. It takes years to produce a champagne like this, and to have a single vintage one in magnum is unusual. Thanks to the bankrupt importer who had these specially made and whose failure allowed us to pick them up at a bargain price. 100% Pinot Meunier, from a biodynamic and organic grape-grower. This is absolutely delicious, and I am most definitely taking some home.

2004 Pierre Paillard Grand Cru Brut Vintage Champagne
Review Date: 03-21-2014
This is champagne that should sell for $100+. It is made entirely from Grand Cru fruit, averaging more than 45 years of vine age. It is all from Bouzy, a village known for its Pinot Noir, with south-facing vineyards (which is important in this high latitude). The nose promises red fruit and hints of brioche. It is rich and complex on the palate. But what really excites me is the acidity--2004 is a cooler vintage, with great promise for aging. If you are in Bouzy, this means that you have the ripeness and richness, but also have the focus, drive and energy that makes this truly exciting.

2000 Krug Brut Champagne
Review Date: 02-07-2014
This has a most attractive bouquet, with notes of pear, rose hips and seashells. On the palate it walks a beautiful line between richness and tension. Plenty of focus and acidity, but also lots of mid-palate weight. this is subtle champagne and beautifully balanced. And the finish, well that is truly something. It fans out on your palate and lingers for a long time. Bravo!

Lot 40 Single Pot Still Canadian Rye Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 01-15-2014
This is one of the best Ryes I have tasted in years. It starts with a slightly fruity nose, then moves to a note like a sourdough rye bread I used to bake. On the palate it is subtle and balanced, with a note of candied Kumquats on the finish. The only experience like it I have had was when tasting a bottle of Prohibition Canadian Rye Whisky I found in a secret cupboard at my Grandfather's house in San Francisco in the mid 1970's, with the notation on the bottle that it could be dispensed only for medicinal purposes. The combination of malted rye and rye yields a focused, delicious dram. Miss this and you will be sorry.

1999 Thienot "Cuvée Alain Thiénot" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-06-2013
This is a study in long aging on the lees, and the complexity that results. It as that calssic, yeasty nose, but on the palate it is complex and balnced, showing the ripenss of the vintage, but avoiding that clumsiness I sometimes found in 2005s (back when others were still bottling them). It is a real choice for me whether to go with age and power here, or elegance and delicacy with the 2006 Garance. Perhaps both, just with different courses?

2002 Piper-Heidsieck "Cuvée Rare" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 09-25-2013
Classic Piper Heidsieck, with a pronounced yeasty quality, and rich mouthfeel. If you want to avoid the current fashion for ever so bone dry Brut champagne, and are looking for a rich, traditional champagne, this is a fabulous place to find it.
Price: $144.99
Franck Bonville "Belles Voyes" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 08-02-2013
Based on the 2004 vintage, this is a terrifically rich and very lovely champagne, made from old vines, planted in the 1920s, long before commercial clones were available. The reulting concentration and depth is a reward that exceeds many champagnes costing well over $100.
Price: $69.99
1995 Charles Heidsieck "Blanc des Millénaires" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-16-2012
One of my favorite things is old champagne. But I never seem to have enough in my cellar, so it's a joy to find a current release such a this on the market. 100% Chardonnay, rich and toasty, complex and long, this is a Don't Miss! sort of bubbly. Supplies are running low, and I hope it will last until New Year's. I am buying some now to be sure I have it laid safely away.

Review Date: 11-16-2012
This is one of those occasions when you have to raise a toast to the champagne house. While the old Charles Heidseck was a solid bubbly, this is a huge step up. And the price increase is justifed by the increase in aged stocks and the higher quality overall. Delicious, rich and concentrated, with a fine mousse. Here's a toast to Champagne Charlie!

GARETH DUNCAN picks the Du Preez brothers as this week's Schoolboy Derby stars.
Sibling combinations are becoming regular features. At the Crusaders, you have four Whitelock brothers doing well while there are five Samoan-born Tuilagi brothers playing in England and France.
On a local front, you have Springbok front-rowers Bismarck and Jannie du Plessis and there are twins Robert and Sias Eberoshn enjoying an impressive season at the Cheetahs. Locks Wilhelm and De Kock Steenkamp are currently plying their trade at the Cheetahs (Bulls next season) and Stormers respectively.
In the Durban suburb of Morningside, there is another family coming through the ranks. Former Springbok scrumhalf Robert du Preez's sons, 18-year-old Robert junior and 16-year-old twins Daniel and Jean-Luc, who all feature for Kearsney's 1st XV. Word from the Durban locals is that the Du Preez brothers have sometimes won games for their school on their own, while the trio were also influential for KZN at a respectable turnout at Craven Week in Kimberley.
The eldest Robert played scrumhalf, like his father, for most of his career. But a switch to flyhalf this season has seen a new step in his career.
'I was lucky to have a bit of experience at flyhalf before,' Robert told keo.co.za. 'I played there for the U13 provincial club team in Grade 7 and in Ireland during an overseas schools exchange in Grade 10.
'I'm really enjoying my time at flyhalf. I have more freedom and space than I would have at scrumhalf and I like playing the key role in the team, especially when it comes to attacking the gain line and creating opportunities for my team-mates.
'In terms of my brothers, Daniel plays lock and Jean-Luc is a loose forward. It's funny story actually because they're both forwards and bigger than me, even though I'm the oldest. I guess they got the good genes!'
Daniel stands at 1.94m and weighs 96kg while Jean-Luc is 1.93m tall and 100kg heavy. Robert steps in at 1.84m and 85kg.
'He's the oldest, but sometimes my brother and I will gang up on him,' jokes Daniel. 'Making the Kearsney 1st XV and KZN Craven Week team has really been a surprise for us. It's been a big step up from U15A level, but we've adapted. It's been physical, but we're coping.'
'It can be seen as uncool to be hanging out with your younger Grade 10 brothers at school, but we do spend a lot of time together, especially on the rugby field and at home,' continues Robert. 'My brothers have won the respect of the older boys at Kearsney because of their performances this year.
'Away from the field, we will just spend lots of family time together and we enjoy watching and talking rugby. We all believe Pat Lambie will be a Springbok superstar. We've also watched our dad's old Bok games on ESPN. That's been nice to see because we were too young to watch him play live.'
Robert was one of the shock exclusions from this year's SA Schools teams this year, but there's still a chance for the twins to make it in the next two years.
'It was disappointing. He was one of the better flyhalves at Craven Week,' says Daniel. 'The fact that he doesn't kick for goal might've given the other 10s the edge, but he'll work hard on it and take that responsibility in future. I'm hoping Jean-Luc and I can make the SA Schools side in future.'
So is there pressure on them to play senior rugby like their father one day?
'Surprisingly not. My dad gives us advice and tells us to try our best, but there's no pressure on us playing pro rugby one day,' says Robert. 'I hope it happens though. I'm joining the Sharks Academy next year, so I can study too. I'm sure my brothers will want to do the same when they reach this stage.'
'We probably will,' adds Daniel. 'Robert has set the path and we want to follow. It will be cool if we could all make the Sharks side one day.'

Isley's Game Two Walkoff Leads Lady Falcon Softball to League Split with North Greenville
March 22, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University and visiting North Greenville swapped a pair of 3-2 wins, both in extra-innings, during Conference Carolinas softball action on Friday afternoon. Both teams were originally scheduled to play on Saturday but moved the twinbill up 24 hours to be oncoming weather. Pfeiffer ends the day at 12-16 overall, 4-6 in league play while the Crusaders drop to 8-12, 4-6.
Pfeiffer would score early in the first as reigning conference player of the week Ashlee Ellen continued her tear with a RBI-double to right-center scoring Sadie Saine. On the same play, Hannah Jackson would score on a throwing error to make it 2-0 Lady Falcons. North Greenville would tack on the game-tying runs in the sixth using two Pfeiffer errors before registering the game-winner in the ninth on a Rachel Glazebrook single to left.
Again in game two, a pair of early runs for the hosts faded away late as North Greenville again scored two to help force extra innings. In the first, Ellen singled home Saine once again while Saine doubled home Celia Dew for a 2-0 lead in the second. In the fourth, a Kimberly Robertson groundout and Amy Nagel RBI-single would knot things up at two as North Greenville once again tallied two more unearned runs. In the eighth, Khristin Isley would become the hero lacing a single to left scoring Jaclyn Boever for a 3-2 walkoff win. Pfeiffer would pound North Greenville in the hit department 12-4 in game two.
Pfeiffer returns to action, weather permitting, on Sunday traveling to Brevard for a 1:00 p.m. matchup before hosting West Virginia state on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m.

Kassab Scores Six as #6 Women's Lacrosse Remains Unbeaten in 2013 with 18-4 Victory over Belmont Abbey
March 27, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Powered by 11 first half goals and a scoring stretch of 12 led sixth-ranked Pfeiffer University to an 18-4 victory over Belmont Abbey College in Conference Carolinas womens lacrosse action on Wednesday afternoon. The win keeps the Lady Falcons unbeaten on the year at 12-0 overall, 4-0 in league play while the Crusaders 5-6, 2-1.
Ashleigh Kassab (Walkersville, MD) scored the first of her game-high six just 19 seconds in on Wednesday before Lindsay Connolly (Davidsonville, MD) even things with a Belmont Abbey goal just35 seconds later. Pfeiffers Shannon Bonnel (Mechanicsville, MD) would start the goal-scoring streak of 12 at the 25:58 mark of the first. Delaney Miller (Elkridge, MD) would get in on the action 42 seconds after Bonnels strike before Kassab scored back-to-back goals coming up on 20 minutes to play in the first.
Carly Garrison (Orlando, FL) and Kassab would again hit midway through the first until Sarah Daly (New Market, MD) would score two-straight before Kassab and Garrison wrapped up first half scoring giving the Lady Falcons an 11-1 lead at the break.
Miller and Garrison would start second half scoring for the Lady Falcons to complete the 12-straight as Shannin Darley (Oviedo, FL) took a pass from Connolly netting the Crusaders second goal of the day. Whitney Jaffe (Cohasset, MA) and Reese Gassie (Leonardtown, MD) would each trade unassisted goals for both teams until Katherine Athens (Huntingtown, MD), Garrison and Kassab finished off scoring for Pfeiffer.
After Kassabs six goals, Garrison would conclude with four while Daly and Miller each scored a pair. Pfeiffer outshot Belmont Abbey 39-19, 26-14 on goal. Lady Falcon goalkeeper Cassidy Wilson (Centreville, MD) would make 10 saves in net for the win.
Pfeiffer will now enjoy a week off for Easter before getting back to Conference Carolinas action next Thursday at Lees-McRae. Live stats for the 4:00 p.m. match will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Pure speculation ahead. None of this comes from a source, just my thinking:
McNamara said on twitter its a guy thats on a expiring deal and that he had started for 4 different teams. He then went on to say that between the guesses on HR (here) and twitter, someone had guessed the mystery guy. Then, I saw on twitter somebody guessed Devin Harris. Harris has started for Dallas, NJ, Utah and now Atlanta. Thats four teams. He is also on an expiring deal. I think that Dell is looking at Devin Harris, it fits all the small clues.
Like I said though, straight from my mind. No reason to believe it.

My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I know this, if Austin Rivers is going to start from the beginning at point, and he should, you're left with Vasquez as your back up, because he's not going to give you anything playing off they ball with Gordon anyway. Well based on the preseason, i think Brian Roberts now makes GV expendable.
Darius Miller after the last few games just showed that he's going to get minutes at the back up SG as well as the SF, He can play next to Gordon or Rivers.
That leaves Gravy with no minutes, basically he's the least athletic and slowest guy on the team position for position, you can't have that a the PG with weapons he have. With this young athletic team you're going to have to be able to take advantage of the energy, stamina and athleticism of this team especially when you play older veteran teams and GV kills your tempo.
So i can see him being shipped out along with Warrick.
One of the guys that it could be is Devin Harris - he fits the profile of starting for 4 teams.
Vasquez, Henry, and Warrick for Devin Harris. It works financially, and while I like Vasquez as a player, Harris is an upgrade. Plus, Harris is an $8 million dollar expiring that can be flipped at the trade deadline.
What would yall think about that?
EDIT Dammit. Somebody beat me to it haha. Still, I think it's a good idea.
Not saying anybody has got it right so far, but let me remind you that the OTHER TEAM said No to this proposal.
All my info is coming from the other organizations side, but I do know that Monty told the team that if they reconsider to let him know soon, because it is "50/50 that he makes a deal before opening night"
So.... keep that in mind.
This all makes me wonder why we traded Jack tho.
harris has been getting steadily worse for years, happy for the expiring

"Terrible narration ruined it for me"
The premise was an interesting one, but the narration was so poor I gave up on the book. The narrator wasn't bad when voicing the main character, but at other times was so stilted she sounded robotic.
"Narrator Kills Story"
Good story.
Silver Borne
Lorelei King
Narrator kills this story. Sounds like she was reading the story for the first time. The halting naration is really bad.
Love to read!
"A rough start, but better towards the middle."
When I first started listening to this book I didn't think I was going to be able to finish it and even considered returning it. I think the narration really hurts the story. The narrator has a nice voice, but she sounds like a teenager rather than a tough mid-20s ex-cop. The narrator also puts awkward pauses in the middle of sentences CONSTANTLY. It really started to drive me crazy. On the plus side, she did a decent job of using different voices and accents for the other characters.
The story itself was only okay for the first half, but by the middle of the book I was pretty into the story. I will most likely get the next book in the series, but in hard copy if they use the same narrator.
I am Who I am; and you are Who you are...so lets leave it at that.
"I want more!!!! Audible please record 2nd book:-)"
I am going to make this short. Loved the story, love the concept, but the performance not so much. The narrator is good but the her voice sound too young to me. Half the time I felt I was listen to a teen book. But the author made up for it. I really enjoy the story. It was different then your usual Werewolf books. It's not all about the romance their is an actual plot. But don't get me wrong their is some romance.
There is some yummy men, there is a strong female, father-daughter, sister-brother, and some fight scenes.
So if you don't want to get into a long series, this is not a book for you, if you can't get into an book if the narrator does not fit your imagination then look else where. But if you like have lore retold in a different way then check this out.
Hope you agree and enjoy good listens:-)
"Hard to listen to"
Yes, but hope she changes who reads, good story line this one might be a better hard cover read.
Like a struggling reader, pauses in the wrong places, and characters are hard to follow
the narrator, she colors how you view the all the different characters, hard to build a relationship
"Narration was the worst."
Story dragged in the beginning, and it was very difficult to continue listening at times because of the narrator. It's taken me over a month to get through this story, and I'm not done yet. If this narrator does the next installments, I won't be purchasing them!
"Good beginning to a new series!"
This one has great characters, and a fun premise, but the author's skill is almost eclipsed by the reader's hyper-pronunciation of each word. It seems she substitutes precise enunciation for emotion or acting ability.
The story itself is a new werewolf saga with an interesting heroine, a quest for a handsome hero, amusing and talented sidekicks, and an ancient prophesy. What else could you want?
"love it !!!!!!!!!!!"
it is going to be one of my book that i can re listing too over and it have the story line and plot is good it is one that will keep in involved with the book un tell ur done with it can't wait for book 2
I have been happily married for 17 years, I have 3 children (12, 14, & 16), and 2 dogs. I am currently working on a 2nd degree. Life is chaotic and stressful, but I wouldn't change it. I am blessed and enjoying my life.
"I liked the story"
I like the story enough to purchase the 2nd book even though it wasn't on the audible site. The only reason I didn't give it more than 3 stars on the Performance is because the narrator was very stilted and she read the entire book at the same volume. The book would have read better if she had lowered her tone or varied it some. If she is a new reader or inexperienced, then she will get better. I liked the accents, but the best way to describe how she sounds is that she is very stilted as if she wasn't using contractions, like this was a second language. But this is still an enjoyable book.
"Great new series"
In this book of the werewolf genre all werewolves were male which is why having a female werewolf was a rarity. She was older when she became a full-blooded werewolf and besides being unique by being a female werewolf, she is unique in other ways. It starts a little slow as a lot of the first books in a series do, but the action picks up and we get to go along for the ride of Jessica trying to figure out what she is. There's fight scenes and other characters of the supernatural world pop up. It seems once she turned full-blooded she hasn't had a good day. There's a lot of nice family loyalty - father/daughter, brother/sister - and also some good friends. Unfortunately it ends on sort of a cliff-hangar so you almost have to get the next book to find out what happens if you're at all interested in the characters.
Not much to say about the narrator. She had a nice enough voice, but her male voices were horrible and besides the main character her other female voices weren't that good either.

|Over 7,500 Participate in International Walk to School Day
Over 7,500 students, parents and teachers from more than 65 schools in seven counties participated in the walk on Wednesday, October 9. Congratulations to Braden River Elementary in Manatee County. They had 100% of their approximately 600 students walk, bike or ride scooters to school during the event.
"On International Walk to School Day, parents and caregivers teach and model safe pedestrian behavior," said District Chief Jim Millican, Lealman Fire District and Safe Kids Executive Chair. "Our children and youth learn by mimicking what they see. By walking with them on International Walk to School Day, we can show children how to walk safely."

SIMCOE COUNTY - Public school teachers across Simcoe County have had a contract imposed on them by Laurel Broten, the provincial minister of education.
Broten held a press conference Thursday morning in Toronto to announce the government was imposing contracts on all 130,000 public elementary and high school teachers across Ontario, effective immediately.
In what she described "as an act of good faith", Broten added that she will repeal Bill 115, saying the legislature had been a "lightning rod" in the months of failed negotiations between the government and teachers.
"It is an important step to find a way forward with our teachers," she said. Broten said her goal in removing the controversial piece of legislation that limited teachers' collective bargaining rights, is to encourage teachers to resume coaching sports teams and supervising school clubs when students return to class on Monday, Jan. 7.
"We're removing that barrier and we're very, very hopeful we'll see the return of extracurricular activities," Broten said.
Representatives of both teachers' federations were not very impressed with the minister's actions.
Paul Elliott, vice president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) and a member of the provincial executive whose territory includes Simcoe County said, "The dynamic could have been different if we had received an invitation to return to the central (bargaining) table in December, as CUPE did. (Broten) had told us over and over she expected local bargaining as late as Dec. 21."
He noted Simcoe County is unusual in that OSSTF District 17 (Simcoe County) represents support workers in the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board, who were not mentioned in the agreement.
"Broten is hoping it will be 'business as usual' at the end of January," Elliott added.
The provincial office of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (EFTO) dispatched a press release that in part stated the use of Bill 115 "is a cynical misuse of government power."
"The government has used a hammer to dictate terms of a contract," said EFTO president Sam Hammond. "Ten years of goodwill has been squandered in 10 months by this education minister.
"By saying she will repeal Bill 115 after using it to trample our rights, the education minister has admitted the legislation is deeply flawed. The agreements imposed by the minister under Bill 115 are by no means collective agreements."
Broten has cautioned both unions to not stage any "political action", or wildcat strikes, as they had threatened to do should a non-negotiated contract be imposed.
The contract contains provisions found in the deal reached months ago with Catholic teachers. They include a wage freeze, a cutback on the number of sick days, and reducing the number of accumulated sick days that will be paid out when a teacher retires. Younger teachers' salaries will continue to move up the salary grid.
Broten's comments come on the heels of an open letter Premier Dalton McGuinty sent to public school teachers on Wednesday, Jan. 2.
McGuinty told teachers, "Our preference has always been one of negotiated settlements. But after 10 months, the bargaining deadline has passed. Ontarians expect, rightly, that uncertainty will not continue indefinitely."
Locally, elementary teachers withdrew voluntary services such as coaching teams shortly after the start of the school year in September. High school teachers withdrew their volunteer services in December.
The contract, backdated to Sept. 1, 2012 will expire in August 2014.

6 Eradicate extreme hunger and poverty
Where are we?
Arab countries are on track with respect to halving the proportion of people living below $1.25-a-day. However, this is not the case when looking at the percentage of the population living below national poverty lines. Moreover, poverty in the Arab Least Development Countries (36 per cent) is nearly twice the average for the region. It is noteworthy also that the rate of poverty in the Mashreq sub-region (19 per cent) in the mid-2000s is more than double that in the Maghreb (7 per cent).
At the sub-national level, poverty in Arab regions is heavily concentrated in rural areas. The Arab region lags behind all other regions in indicators of full, productive and decent employment, particularly for women and youth.
Given the low employment to population ratios it is not surprising that unemployment is a major development challenge in most Arab countries. There has been insufficient progress to meet the hunger target and serious concerns over the impact of the food crisis on food deprivation, particularly in the LDCs. Furthermore, the region and all sub-regions did not witness any reduction in the depth of hunger, which measures how far the food-deprived population lies below the minimum dietary intake.
Despite the overall gloomy picture, past trends and future prospects for achieving Goal 1 vary remarkably within the region. Thus, rapid progress on employment and poverty in the Maghreb countries contrasts sharply with limited or no progress in the Mashreq sub-region. In the LDCs sub-region, poverty and hunger are expected to have risen since 2005, as a result of rising food and fuel prices.

The basket on 13 has not yet (as of Thursday) been replaced. They are finished with the ground work on that hole and it was seeded this week. It shouldn't be too long before the basket is back. The rest of the course is in great shape. They have done a fine job mowing so far. The water is still being kept down and the park told me it will continue to be down after the construction work is done because it will be spawning season.
There are 25-30 new trees on holes 4-6 and a few more new ones on holes 14 and 17. These trees are 8'-15' tall already. As they mature those holes will be much tougher.

Piccolo has come a long way since her rescue from a hoarding situation by the ASPCA. After joining Siheun S. in her family's country home, Piccolo has finally had the chance to experience life with a loving forever family. Siheun shared the following story with us:
Piccolo was adopted in September and is living with our family in North Stamford, Connecticut. I had been fostering another cat, but his pet parent came back to the country and reclaimed him. So, Piccolo was adopted to join our family in his place!
I adopted Piccolo at the ASPCA Adoption Center because I have great faith in your organization—and it was my first adoption from ASPCA! In particular, I chose to adopt Piccolo because I was touched by how she head-butted me during my first visit to the Adoption Center.
I thought Piccolo would need some time to get accustomed to her new surroundings, but she is curious, fearless and loves meeting new people. She also loves cuddling and tries to sleep on top of me at night.
Piccolo looks pretty calm and serene in pictures, but she is actually quite energetic and doesn't sit still for too long. She also loves biting my ankles and chasing after people to follow them around the house; you have to be careful not to trip on her.
I wonder how her personality will develop as she matures!

Pretty Piccolo does looks serene and so majestic in the photos. She sounds like she is having a blast in her new home though! I am so happy for this gorgeous, sweet little cat and for her kind new family.
I love this story! Thanks for sharing! :)
Piccolo is just beautiful and I'm so happy that you gave her a home where she knows she's loved. You're great. I have a rescue cat - he's a tabby and I named him Little Man. I love him dearly.
Thank you for giving Piccalo a home & a new chance at life. What a little sweetie she is. Very beautiful cat!
I absolutely LOVE this story and LOVE this kittie's name!!!! She looks precious.
Thank you for giving her a happy home!!!
She is so pretty! What a lucky girl to have a loving family. :-)
She looks like a very happy kitty...I'm sure you will be very happy together...thanks for giving her a good home.

A couple of days ago I came across PostBourgie's efforts to breakdown and 'make sense'* of the television show Scandal. Their latest write up brings up a lot of really great points, ranging from technical (this shit is implausible, yo) to seriously problematic (why are the women only powerful when they are allowed to be by a man?). And, being a the foaming-at-the-mouth-cancel-dinner-dates-with-my-homegirls Scandal fan that I am, I felt the need to explain why, despite some of its issues, I can't get enough of this show.
First of all, let's get into the flyness that is Keri Washington. Besides the fact that I have loved her since "Save the Last Dance," she is showing up and kicking butt on national television. Yeah, her Sally Hemings-ish relationship with Fitz is a little uncomfortable, but I'll be damned if it aint hot. And after 8.5 hours in a windowless cubicle, sometimes heat is necessary. Additionally, she is the bourgeois woman's LisaRaye – she finds a way to wear a white/cream/ecru blouse with every outfit, and SLAYS.EVERY.TIME. And her wig is decent. And she lip trembles. I'm here for skinny big-mouthed girls with lots of sass – Jurnee Smollet, Erykah Badu, and me? Olivia Pope.
Speaking of sass, can we also speak of Cyrus? He is a mighty oak tree, offering shade to everyone that dares come for him – Mellie, Liv, even the President. Yes. More epic reads and dressing downs (they're hilarious). More telling the first lady "I'm a muthafuggin monsta." More fussin' and fightin' with your husband. More representation of gays on television and more hiring gay actors to play straight characters. More giving random black actresses employment (hey, Elise Neal). More. More. I want more of it.
As a DMV resident it's also lots of fun to have TV show based in the area because, well, you can recognize the places you walk past every day onscreen. Maybe that's nothing new for New Yorkers, but for an area as maligned as the DC metro region, it's nice to have some representation. I'm still waiting for them to go Southeast/Northeast/Alexandria/Maryland, but that's a whole different conversation.
Maybe it's that I want to support Shonda Rhimes.** Even though she found crazy success with Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice (which I could never really get into), having a show written by a black woman STARRING a black woman – that isn't a Basketball Side-Piece or a Fake Housewife – means something. As problematic as Olivia Pope might be, she is still, in my opinion, far better than a lot of representations of black women we see on television. Olivia has a killer wardrobe and is powerful and is vulnerable and kicks ass (even though she's always called into question by that damn redhead).
Let's hope that maybe Shonda or her writers hear some of the very valid concerns that PB voiced, especially since they clearly respond to vocal fans. The show is not perfect, but Scandal, in all its soap opera-y, fast-talking, scandalous-ass glory, is still really good to me. I'm totally here for it.
*You can't make sense of a show like this. You just have to receive it. Just let it wash over you.
**I also bang with Shonda because she signed Issa Rae for a show with ABC. And because Scandal is actually based on the work of a black woman, Judy Smith. She really seems to be trying to put people on, and I LOVE IT!

RALEIGH — Kinston could taste the upset, but nationally-ranked DeSoto was just a little too seasoned.
Duke signee Matt Jones scored 17 points and the Eagles hit 15 of their last 16 free throws to hold off a late Vikings rally to win 57-50 and advance to the winners' bracket in the Summit Hospitality portion of the HighSchoolOT.com Holiday Invitational at Raleigh Broughton High School on Thursday.
The Eagles (15-1), ranked 10th in the latest ESPN.com Power 25 rankings, will face Hampton (Va.), a 61-59 winner over Waxhaw Cuthbertson in Thursday's late game, today at 7:20 p.m. in the semifinals. Kinston will face Cuthbertson at 2:20 p.m. today in an elimination game. It will also be a rematch of last season's NCHSAA state 2A championship, which the Vikings won 58-55.
"It was tough," DeSoto coach Chris Dyer said. "Kinston's a good team. We knew it was going to be tough coming in.
"Our kids made their free throws, knocked down some shots and played some hellatious defense. … I was very proud of the team as a whole."
Kinston's Josh Dawson matched Jones with 17 points and Denzel Keyes added 12, but a 3-plus minute stretch in the first quarter where the Vikings went without a field goal put them in a 12-3 hole.
The spurt was led by Jones, who had something to do with all 16 of his team's first-quarter points with five assists and a pair of buckets. But Kinston (9-1), which fell behind by as many as 15 in the first half, methodically worked its way back into the game.
"I'm proud of my kids. We got down early, big, battled back," Kinston coach Perry Tyndall said. "I thought (the Eagles) did a really good job of really kind of pushing us out of some things that we wanted to do out of the gate.
"We settled in … (and) we competed."
DeSoto enjoyed its last double-digit lead at 44-32 when Takedrick Brown found the bottom of the net on a long 3 with just inside of 7 minutes to play.
But Andrew Lopez answered with a 3 on the other end, sparking a 10-4 run for the Vikings as they cut it to 48-45 with 3:14 to play.
From there the veteran Eagles — 11 of their 12 players are upperclassmen — sank their free throws while Kinston went scoreless until Brandon Ingram, who scored 10 points, followed his own miss with a putback with 18 seconds to play.
DeSoto hit 12 free throws in a row at one point in the final period, and went 15-for-18 from the line for the game.
"We just had to play and do what we do in practice every day — work and stay together," said Eagles forward Terry Maston, who scored 16 points. "It was pretty easy — the game wasn't easy, of course — but we found a way to win."
Down 48-45 — the closest it had been since DeSoto held a 4-3 lead early — Kinston had several good looks to tie. But Dawson, Keyes and Ingram all missed their 3-point attempts while the Eagles kept putting points on the board at the free throw line.
"We had some good really looks they just didn't go down," Tyndall said. "There's going to be nights like that. … But I'm really proud of the fact that we battled back."
Facing a team that had already knocked off the nation's top-ranked team in Chicago Simeon and playing in front of North Carolina men's basketball head coach Roy Williams, N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried and several other scouts from big-time programs, Kinston didn't seem fazed.
The Vikings, who gave up several inches on the interior to the Eagles, shared the rebounding category 24-24. Both teams' field goal percentage was comparable with Kinston shooting 37.8 percent to DeSoto's 37.3.
While the Vikings' rally may have fallen short, they feel they showed they can compete with the best of the best.
"We fight all the way to the end, we don't hang our heads," Keyes said. "We just have to keep practicing."
Added Dawson: "If we get down early, we still got each other's back."
