Thread: your top 5 vetivers
I know there have been quite a few vetiver topics and I am sorry if I am adding to it but I thought this would be good to gain information on the top of the line vetivers in your perspective. I am coming around to liking it and have not tried all the ones I have wanted yet here is what I have tried:
Le labo vetiver, guerlain,prada, creed, l'occitane,tom ford, hermes, encre( forgot the exact spelling) and have only liked the two creed vetivers and the l'occitane. Still looking for my daily signiture vetiver since l'occitane and the 1948 creed are no longer made. Probably will get original vetiver. But I digess, again sorry if this topic is getting repetitive.
For the ones I have tried:
Vetiver Tonka by Hermes
Sycomore by Chanel
Vetiver by Guerlain
Vetiver Oriental by Sege Lutens
Encre Noire by Lalique
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
I think at least two in these five will make you smile:
CdG Vetiverru
Guerlain Vetiver
Diptyque Vetiverio
Serge Lutens Vetiver Oriental
ELDO Fat Electrician
There can never be too many vetiver threads as far as I'm concerned!
In no particular order, since they're all wonderfully distinct to me and I wear whichever one suits my mood at a particular time:
Guerlain Vetiver
Encre Noire
CdG Vettiveru
MPG Route de Vetiver
(Also - I wasn't aware L'Occitaine's Vetiver was discontinued. Both L'Occitaine stores near me still sell it; maybe I should stock up ... )
Vetiver is my favourite note.
Some of the vetivers I love are:
Guerlain Vetiver EdT (vintage)
Guerlain Vetiver pour Elle
TDC - Sel de Vetiver
Chanel Sycomore
MPG Route du Vetiver (vintage)
top1: Carven Vetiver (vintage). Reason: the lavender makes it. Lavender plus smoke plus rooty nuttyness is my personal idea of a handsomes man cologne. I dismiss (aromatic) fougeres for their unmotivated, hence irritating roughness. But the Carven is both manly and elegant as it is to the point (whatever that is).
Encre Noire
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Azzaro Pure Vetiver

2. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver

No doubt there are some well-constructed vetiver scents I've not had the opportunity to sample but these few are some of my favorites:

Vetiver is the one traditional note for which I don't rate creed's offerings at all.

I love vetiver. However, I have only three on my list, in order of greatness:
1. Guerlain Vetiver (vintage or current, doesn't matter)
2. Mailizia Uomo Vetyver
3. Vetiver by Annick Goutal
I like other vetivers, but they either suppress the vetiver note too much or they smell too similar to one of the three I've listed above. For example, Frederic Malle's Vetiver Extraordinaire may be great, but to me it smells too similar to Goutal's vetiver to put on my list.

It's still listed on the L'O website, and the local L'O store has it in stock. They just did away with many, many products and reorganized the men's display. The SA showed me the way the men's display is supposed to look, per corporate instructions, and Vetyver EDT and soap are both on the display. So...yeah, I don't know if this is discontinued. The shower gel is, though, for sure.

That's a difficult question to answer since most perfumes contain vetiver at one level or another. For the perfume in which vetiver is the dominant note then Guerlain's if my favorite. Bath and Body released "Indian Vetiver" that was outstanding (for B&B) but it was discontinued soon after, luckily I stached away 8 bottles of it before it dissapeared from the market. For favorites perfumes containing vetiver on them the five I would mention are: Sung Homme, Grey Flannel, Ungaro III, Creed OV and Azzaro PV. Worth mentioning, although the vetiver is barely discernible, is Richard James Savile Row, an outstanding fragrance that you hear very little about.

Gentleman, what are some good dark, mysterious, sexy vetivers. I liked L'occitane vetiver because it was all those things, are there any vetivers other than that one that fit the picture? I heard the one by Frederic Malle fits those traits.

Great idea for a thread....very helpful to me as well....as I don't have much experience with this note I will only say I did NOT like Encre Noir, but did like the L'Occitane version (which I just sampled within the last two weeks, so not discontinued). I thought Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver was pretty good as well. Would defintely say L'Occitane is my favorite thus far though.
Here are my picks with a "mini-review".
Please tell me what you think and if there's anything you'd like to add to them as well, i welcome feedback from all Basenoters.
Givenchy's Vetyver :
one of the classiest most well-balanced vetivers out there, both the vintage and the new reformulation are must haves (almost identical), very fresh, very natural yet still classically elegant.
Vetiver Dance by Tauer:
a beautiful rendition, earthy and very layered with soft fresh top notes to flowery mid to earthy base.
Guerlain's Vetiver :
the top must have vetiver of all, only because of its history and its popularity.
Adored by both men and women, the vintage is very different from the classic having both scents fans of their own -and others crying foul-, the vintage version being the most "greener" version: fresh cut grass, dirt and roots, somewhat watery garden with fresh drops of rain.
The "new" version being more conventionally "modern" with very fresh top notes that fade faster and having a strong vetiver mid with a base of dry earth and ashes.
Vetiver Hombre by Adolfo Domínguez:
the stronger of these choices, the dark, elegant, classically masculine yet fresh and very true to vetiver roots and of all things, a certain hint of crème de menthe.
It also has a versatility that can be challenged as it works on all seasons and situations.
Encre Noire by Lalique:
what has not being said about this scent that hasn't been said before?
Lalique has always been striving for a betterment of their scents and has always used surprisingly good materials for a first and foremost Glass and Crystal company that dabbles in perfumery.
Virtually all of their scents are at the very least interesting and EN being one of the most striking Vetivers of the last years and one of the most revered. A classic fragrance in the making? Most likely, but because of its inherent quality and its truthfulness towards vetiver, it wins a place here.
extras mentions - interesting Vetivers:
Red Vetyver by Montale:
this is a very original rendition of vetiver as it has a good blend of spices and certain "hotness" to the whole composition worth at least one try.
I see it as the Vetiver version of Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea, with their Spicy Green Tea scent, Montale created a very innovative use of red pepper/cedarwood/vetiver and what i feel is spanish bell pepper, before red pepper was all the rage.
Vetyverio by Dyptique:
why is this here? because the use of different types of vetiver root with a healthy amount of fruits and vegetables can go wrong but in here the composition is instead a well layered box of surprises.It even has nutmeg!
cheers everyone
I have L'Occitane's, Puig's, Lalique's Encre Noire, Carven's, Guerlain's, Zara's, R&G's and Dominguez' and a sample of Le Labo's. Except for Puig's, I like them all.
L'Occitane's and Encre Noire smell quite alike, but EN has better longevity. Both are good in terms if sillage.
Carven's is truthfull to the way Vetyver EO smells like, dirty and rooth / earth-like.
Dominguez' and Zara's are similar, the neroli top note is more evident in Zara's: Domnguez' is better in terms of longevity, but not so as EN.
Guerlain's and Le Labo's are the most complex of them all, Guerlain's more traditonal while Le Labo's more contemporary.
R&G is the most subtle and discreet - after all, it is and EdC. Defenitely conservative.
Puig's Vetiver, IMHO, does not smell like vetiver at all; it is more akin to a generic 1980's soft spicy / floral blend with some vetyver note I cannot identify at all.
Out of the ones Ive sampled:
1. Vetiver by Lorenzo Villoresi
2. Encre Noire
3. Coeur de Vétiver Sacré by L'Artisan Parfumeur
4. Vetiver by Geurlain
5. Original Vetiver by Creed
Castorpollux: You said that Vetyverio EVEN HAS NUTMEG on it, like surprised by it!!!!. Well, most Vetiver DO HAVE nutmeg, those two notes compliment very well, All Guerlain variations on Vetiver have nutmeg on it (Vetiver, Vetiver Frozen, Vetiver Sport. Vetiver Extreme, Vetiver pour Elle, Eau Glasee), also Vetyver by Lanvin has nutmeg, so does Le Vetiver by Lubin, Pure Vetiver by Azzaro, Vetyver by Jo Malone, Eau de Vetyver by L'Ocittane, Vetiver by Villoresi, the version by Ayala Morel and I could go on an on but i am running out of space. Vetiver and nutmeg go hand by hand, so do not be surprised by that combination
Second, Azzaro Pure Vetiver because I like the grassiness of this scent (could it be the maté that creates this impression?) And, third, Guerlain Vetiver, because of the tobacco notes.
(I only have a top 3)

Sel d' Vetiver
Encre Noire
Villoresi Vetiver
Vetiver 46
Grey Vetiver
That said: Encre Noire and Sycomore definitely fall into the dark/mysterious category for me.
(And MPG's Route du Vetiver is another dark and mysterious beast ... but maybe it deserves a category of its own. Not an "easy" vetiver, to be sure ... )
Post script: Isn't it fascinating how many different ways vetiver is perceived? Guess that's what makes it such a popular note - it's hard to get bored of something that multifaceted.

Since Monday is almost over and your writer is way under the weather, I've decided to go with one of my favorite things to do – CAPTION THAT PHOTO!!
The defending World Series champs just took the NLDS in 4 games moments ago, defeating the Rockies 5-4 after a . This brings to question the possibility of a Mets fan's worst nightmare: a Yankees vs. Phillies World Series, but it also made for some incredibly interesting photos to caption. Take your pick from either the title pic or the choices after the break in congratulations to the postseason victors and have fun!
(sorry Maggie) ANGELS SWEPT THE BO SOX SATURDAY and came back in the 9th after being behind 6-4 in the 8th with a 7-6 win.
Pls to caption Kendry Morales and his bendability
Yanks swept the Twins Saturday with a 4-1 win (and a 2 run homer from A Rod). However, Friday night, a somewhat bullshit homer came from Teixeira which won Game 2 for them in the 11th inning.
Gross, but pls to caption….this…..
Last but not least, the Dodgers swept the Cardinals with a 5-1 win Saturday.
Pls to caption Broxton and….whatever he's doing….
And PS: While this did result in a sack, this imagery more or less sums up the shape that the Bills are in so far this season. Sad Buffalita.

LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho was named to the MLS All-Star inactive roster on Wednesday afternoon.
Per the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement, the complete MLS All-Star roster includes 32 players, with the inactive roster being determined by player vote.
The nod is Juninho's second time on the inactive roster as the Galaxy midfielder was selected in 2011. This season, Juninho has made 22 appearances—all 22 being starts—while tallying two assists and forming a successful tandem with fellow Brazilian midfielder Marcelo Sarvas.
Now anyone knows me that I love rap,, I was born in the late-80's, and I love soccer -- well obviously -- but how do I feel about this new fusion of all those things for the website Funny Or Die and the MLS All-Star Game? Well, I love it.
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez joins in the on tank top and fanny pack fun with fellow MLS All-Stars Brad Davis, Graham, Zusi, Kyle Beckerman, Chris Wondolowski, Jack Mcinerney, and Mike Magee.
Now as for each of the verses, I'm a big fan of Gonzalez's flow, but props go to Beckerman and, of course, Magee for bringing the fire. See what I did there?
Check it out.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will match up against some of the world's best on Thursday when they take on Spanish giants Real Madrid. As LA prepare for their seemingly annual match against Los Blancos, no one is more amped than the Galaxy's rookies who get their first chance to face off against the players they grew up watching on television.
When asked to reflect on the match, the first name off every Galaxy players tongue is Portuguese international and former FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, who leads the charge for Los Merengues. The Portuguese star is considered one of the top five players in the world and has shined against the Galaxy in past meetings –just take a look at videos from his appearances in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Stopping Ronaldo is a challenge for any defender, but two Galaxy rookies, who may be asked to stop Portuguese attacker or some other Madrid star, take the task in stride.
"For anyone that plays soccer, you know Madrid and you know Ronaldo, [Mesut] Ozil because you you've seen these guys on television," said defender Kofi Opare. "They're some of the world's best players and to get a chance to be on the same field with them is definitely something that I've penned on the calendar."
"I just want to contain him. I know that I'm going to be going up against him because a left wing," said Oscar Sorto. "It's going to be unbelievable."
As for their plan is to stop Ronaldo? Both defenders have different tactics.
"I'm just going to look behind me to see if I have help," said Sorto with a laugh. "I'll hopefully play well, but it'll be a good experience."
"I just know from watching him that he's quick and quick with his feet. I guess if I can't get the ball then maybe I can get him a little bit," said Opare. "It'll be interesting."
With a successful Gold Cup in the books, Landon Donovan is enjoying some of his best form of 2013 and with his success comes questions about his future.
Donovan's contract with MLS concludes at the end of the 2013 season, but the Galaxy forward admits that he's not focusing on his contract just yet.
"We will see. I'm open to whatever happens," Donovan told reporters in Kansas City on Tuesday. "I haven't made any decision yet. If there are offers, I will analyze them and see what happens."
This season, Donovan has made 12 appearances in MLS regular season play with three goals and six assists. Donovan also shined at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup with five goals and seven assists en route to winning the tournament's Golden Ball (MVP) and a share of the Golden Boot (tournament leading scorer).
However, after his much publicized break from the game earlier in the year, the fact that Donovan is going through life day by day is not surprising.
"I don't know yet," Donovan added of his MLS future in 2014. "I'm enjoying every day at this moment. I want to continue like this and when the time comes, I will make a decision. We will see."
The complete video in Spanish is below…
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have had to make do without their captain Robbie Keane for the past two matches, but once their MLS schedule resumes, they hope to have Irish forward back in the lineup.
Since suffering a left hip flexor strain in the second half of LA's 2-1 defeat to the Portland Timbers on July 13, Keane has been unavailable, but made his return to the training ground this week. The Irish forward hasn't begun full training just yet, but took part briefly in Tuesday's session.
Although appearing in this week's Guinness International Championship Cup matches seems like a no go for Keane, he's got his sights on being ready for next Sunday's match against FC Dallas.
"Hopefully, I can get minutes before [the Dallas game] that. This is just my second day today, so let's see how it holds up. I wasn't supposed to do the training with the team, but because I felt good, I wanted to do it," said Keane. "The trainer's schedule is a little bit different than my schedule, but I know my own body and I felt good today. As long as I keep going, I'm training again tomorrow with the team and do some extra work afterward, we'll see how I feel."
Various international absences and injuries have limited Keane to just 12 games this season, but the forward has contributed plenty when available with team highs in goals (seven) and assists (eight).
Although Keane won't be on the field for this week's ICC matches, he will be in attendance and offer a few words of encouragement to the squad's younger players.
"Just go out and enjoy it. We know that it's going to be a tough game and the chance to win is probably nil," said Keane. "We know that it is going to be difficult, but it's good for [the team] to just go out and enjoy themselves and appreciate how these players play, and also do their best."
Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez talk about which of their MLS All-Star teammates they'd take back to LA
LA Galaxy players Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez are currently in Kansas City ahead of Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game, in an interview with MLSsoccer.com, the Galaxy stars talk about who from the all-star roster they would take back to LA -- and who they'd kick off the team.
It's hilarious, so check it out.
The newest section of StubHub Center, "the Champions Lounge" is already one of the more popular areas of the stadium.
Learn a little more about it in this video below.
COMMERCE City, Colo. – The LA Galaxy reserves picked up their third straight victory on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids reserves at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Chandler Hoffman provided the goal in the – minute when he finished a square ball provided by Kenney Walker. Hoffman now has five goals with the reserves this season. Colorado threatened late in the first half as well as periodically throughout the second stanza, but could not find the equalizer.
LA is now 4-1-2 this year in MLS Reserve League play. The Galaxy's next reserve match is on Sept. 1 against the San Jose Earthquakes.
"It was a really fought collective effort. The altitude certainly played a factor, in the first half, we certainly played well and then there was a stretch of about 15 minutes where they were pressing. Those are the times that on the road, you have to have the right mentality and weather the storm—and we did. Fortunately, we got the goal and went up right before halftime," said Galaxy assistant coach and reserve team head coach Curt Onalfo. "We were really solid in the second half with the exception of a play or two. We showed a lot of character in how we managed the lead and held on. It was a really important three points and well deserved."
It was a banner Gold Cup tournament for Landon Donovan and one that ended in a championship.
Donovan provided the assist on Brek Shea's goal in the 68th minute minute to seal the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title and the 11th straight victory for the U.S with a 1-0 victory over Panama. For his five goals and seven assists, Donovan was awarded the tournament's Golden Ball while also tying for the Golden Boot with Panama's Gabriel Torres and U.S. forward Chris Wondolowski.
Omar Gonzalez also made a brief appearance in the match, coming on in the 89th as the U.S. closed out the game.
Donovan and Gonzalez will now head to Kansas City for the MLS All-Star Game before rejoining the Galaxy at sometime next week.
Highlights of the game are below.
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – It was different, it was unique, and it was even a little surreal at times, but Pablo Mastroeni made his return to Dick's Sporting Goods Park, not in the burgundy of the Colorado Rapids, but the blue-white-and-gold of the LA Galaxy.
The 36-year-old midfielder went 77 minutes in the 2-0 Galaxy defeat and exited to cheers as well as few standing ovations from the Rapids faithful. It wasn't the midfielder's finest performance as LA's midfield struggled to take charge of the game and Mastroeni picked up a first half yellow card from referee Juan Guzman for dissent.
Mastroeni admitted after the LA defeat that the experience was a strange one, even for a player as experienced as he is.
"After 12 years at this club, it's kind of surreal. I had a hard time sleeping thinking about it. I actually woke up in the middle of the night thinking that I had a game with the Rapids," said Mastroeni. "It was the most bizarre, surreal kind of experience, but I think when the whistle blows, everything kind of goes out the window. It's all that anticipation stuff that's emotional and unsettling.
"Once the whistle blew, we had a job to do, and I didn't even think about it for a second," Mastroeni added. "It was good to get out there and get through this process that was inevitable, and move on."
As he looks ahead to the second half of the season with his new team, Mastroeni has a recommendation on what LA must fix in order to improve.
"We made our own job more difficult [against Colorado]. I think overall the effort was there," said Mastroeni. "We've just got to clean up a few things and keep working on concentrating on set pieces."

SNOW HILL — Winning an award for architecture is a foundational symbol for Greene County Intermediate School's vision to be environmentally conscious.
The school opened in August with a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) blueprint that landed it a first place Excellence in Architectural Design Award in November, with Greene County Schools receiving the plaque last week.
The intermediate school opened in August and was built because of crowding at Snow Hill Primary and West Greene Elementary schools.
The pristine building is saving energy and reducing overall school costs, like utility bills. It was designed by Moseley Architects, based in Raleigh.
"Most of the accolades should go to Moseley Architects," said GCS Superintendent Patrick Miller. "They took our feedback and designed a wonderful building."
Miller said he believes the school's opening makes it the first LEED school in North Carolina east of I-95.
The award — presented by the North Carolina School Boards Association — hangs on a school wall along with eight plaques that represent a LEED element being implemented by the school, such as water, recycling and even noise.
"You can walk down the hallway, look in the classroom and see them very active," said Principal Debbie Daniell about the students. "But you cannot hear anything. The noise does not transfer."
The walls of the school that serve 480 fourth- and fifth-graders make the rooms environmentally sound.
A LEED school requires both the design and construction aspects to be energy-efficient.
"(It's) things like orienting the building in such a way the sun sets on a certain side and it rises on the other," said Will Brown, a representative from JTL Construction, a local company that has worked on other GCS projects.
The school was built in 18 months at $13.6 million.
"I worked from day one to get this building here, and I've been here five years," said Miller, who mentioned former superintendent Steve Mazingo also envisioned a LEED school in Greene County.
The floors and ceilings act as reflectors to utilize natural sunlight, which bellows through huge glass windows at the ends of the hallways that occupy an entire wall. All of the bathrooms have sensored sinks, and the school's air conditioners have high-caliber filter systems.
The building provides a learning opportunity for students.
"In (the students') curriculum, they talk a lot about recycling," Daniell said. "We talk about how it is a building that encourages a lot of environmentally friendly stuff."

Southwest will have trouble living with this one.
Losing as the Stallions did 6-3 to Rosewood in the second round of the NCHSAA 1-A softball playoffs Tuesday night is one thing.
But losing when you don't look like a team that was 18-3 and champions of the Coastal Plains Conference is another thing.
"It's like I've been telling you after every game about those fighting Stallions," coach Tiffany Murphy said. "Unfortunately, we didn't show up tonight."
It was an equal opportunity failure for Southwest on a chilly evening.
Miss Reliable — senior pitcher Hali Botzenhart — uncharacteristically struggle to find the strike zone early. The Stallions also committed five errors and failed to cover second and third on more than one occasion, allowing the Eagles to take an extra base (or two) while being unable to come up with a key hit that could have turned the tide.
If Rosewood (14-7), which advances to play at Princeton (18-2) in the third round in a match-up of the top two seeds out of the Carolina Conference, was simply the better team, Murphy said that would have been one thing.
"You say, 'OK, we got beat,'" she said. "But I can't say (that), not when we didn't play our best."
Certainly, Rosewood had something to do with that. The Eagles were aggressive and took advantage of the Stallions' mistakes while also taking control of the game early with a three-run first inning and then adding a run in the second and third to go up 5-0.
"We hit the ball much better the first half of the game than what we normally do," Rosewood coach Shay Campbell said. "Typically (it's) the fourth, fifth inning before we start stepping it up and start playing.
"That was the key to this one was jumping on this team and trying to go ahead and demoralize them right from the get-go. If we can do that, it kinds of tends to play in our favor."
Sophomore third baseman Callie Thornton keyed the first two innings. She had a two-run single in the first inning and a solo home run on a 1-2 pitch in the second.
"She is a beast," Campbell said.
Rosewood's other two runs in the first three innings came home on passed balls. Not only that, Botzenhart, who finishes 16-3, walked three in the first inning and had three-ball counts on three other hitters.
"She's usually not a behind pitcher like that," Murphy said.
The Stallions also struggled to get a hit against Amanda Beckert, who didn't strike out a batter but allowed just two hits through the first five innings. Rosewood's defense was a key to keeping the Stallions at bay, coming up with six force outs, five at second base.
"We could not advance past second base tonight," Murphy said. "It's hard to score when you can't get into scoring position."
Southwest finally got on the scoreboard in the sixth inning when Sarah Humphrey singled home Botzenhart, who had walked with one out. Amberlynn Bishop, who singled after the walk, came home on a ground out by Aaliyah Simmons.
But Rosewood got one of those runs back in the top of the seventh when Anna Ingram singled and came around to score on a sacrifice and an error. The Stallions did push one run home in the bottom of the inning on a single by Botzenhart, but a ground out ended the game — and the Stallions' season.
Asked if nerves may have been a factor in the uncharacteristic mistakes made by her team, Murphy was uncertain.
"You might be asking the wrong one," she said. "I'm sure some nerves had something to do with it. But I don't want to blame it on that. We have already played a round of playoffs. So you would have thought some things would have eased. But I don't know, maybe the further you go the more pressure you feel."
Whatever the case, the team Murphy saw on the field Tuesday night wasn't the team she'd seen most of the season, which she pointed out in the third after a double miscue on an attempted force out at second: An errant throw with no one getting to the bag in time.
Murphy, who said this loss will gnaw at her the Stallions for "a couple days" or more, called time and walked out to the mound, where she had an extended conversation with her players. The bottom line?
"I just wanted to know if that fighting team was going to show up," she said. "I was waiting for the response."

Ryann and Terri Camacho walk down Alabama Highway 176 after checking on a neighbor's cows in Dog Town, Ala.
Emergency crews deployed for battle Wednesday with a vicious ice storm that cut off power for hundreds of thousands of people across the Southeast — and worse power failures were on the way.
About 400,000 customers were without power Wednesday evening in Georgia and the Carolinas, utilities reported. That was on top of tens of thousands more who were in the dark as the storm gathered strength earlier in the week across Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.
"This storm is very unpredictable. It's one of the toughest storms we're going to see in our history," North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said Wednesday.
Nearly 600 power workers prepared to camp overnight at the Mall of Georgia in Gwinnett County, northeast of Atlanta, where support staff and volunteers showed up to serve breakfast and dinner and to pack box lunches, NBC station WXIA reported.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed warned that "the hardest part of this storm is tonight and tomorrow," as residents get cabin fever and want to go outside.
"Let me be very clear: Last night and today was the opening act of what's getting ready to occur," Reed said, as snow continues to fall and temperatures plunge back below freezing, re-icing everything.
It's the ice that's the real culprit — coating streets, trees and power lines to a depth of a full inch in parts of all three states.
Having learned their lesson two weeks ago, when snow locked down the city for a day and a half, Atlantans stayed home, leaving usually jam-packed interstates looking like a sci-fi wasteland as an eerie calm settled over desolate streets slick with ice. Highways were deserted as freezing rain and ferocious wind gusts kept drivers at home.
That wasn't the case in Charlotte, North Carolina's biggest city, where cars and trucks slipped, slid and stalled at the junction of Interstate 277 and Independence Boulevard, a major highway through town.
In a scene reminiscent of the parking lot that Atlanta's freeways became last month, vehicles lined up motionless for miles. Hundreds of crashes were reported, and Independence was eventually officially closed.
Similar scenes played out in South Carolina, where a woman was killed Wednesday when her car speeded out of control and collided with a law enforcement vehicle on Interstate 95 in Clarendon County, Gov. Nikki Haley said.
Three other deaths were also blamed on the storm Wednesday, raising the number of confirmed deaths to 10 since the storm swept in through Texas earlier this week.
At least six other deaths were reported Tuesday as the storm gathered power over Texas and Mississippi: four in separate accidents on icy north Texas roads — including a Dallas firefighter who was knocked off an interstate ramp — and two in separate accidents in Mississippi.
While ice may look pretty and unthreatening, it's actually the biggest hazard of the storm, meteorologists said. The National Weather Service called the ice storm a potentially "catastrophic event" and said some areas of the South could be without power "for days and perhaps as long as a week."
More than 3,400 flights into and out of U.S. airports were canceled and 3,500 more were delayed — the vast majority of them at the Atlanta and Charlotte hubs.
Amtrak suspended service Wednesday on 10 trains in Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas "to reduce the exposure of Amtrak passengers, crews and rail equipment to extreme weather conditions."
As it crawls eastward, the same weather system was forecast to dump up to 12 inches of snow on New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., overnight and into Thursday, snarling travel plans for millions more people.
"There will be disruption," said Kevin Roth, lead meteorologist for The Weather Channel. "The whole region will be in a deep freeze."
But with warmer temperatures expected, especially along the coast, some of the precipitation will simply be rain, and "there shouldn't be as much ice further north," Roth said.

Comments about Sugoi Evolution Shorts 2012:
I have ridden many shorts since getting into riding in 1988, and these are by far the best. I can now ride for many miles seated, without feeling the need to stand to rest my seat. I really like the way the chamois and shorts wick moisture away and keep my cool and dry. I used to use Pearl Izumi, but they always were wet and caused saddle sores. Never going back. I have found the one! Hope they work as well for you too.

Prep softball: Mavs win pitching duel with T-wolves

Meadowdale's Haili Taylor (9) tries to slide into third base under the tag of Jackson's Tiana Lopez (right).
Timberwolves freshman pitcher Sophie Frost took on Meadowdale senior hurler Alyssa Reuble, with Reuble's Mavericks coming out on top 2-1 in a nonleague game at Meadowdale High School.
"Those (games) are why you coach fastpitch softball. It was a great game," said Jackson head coach Kyle Peacocke. "Two really great pitchers battling it out. Both teams just trying to scratch runs across."
Meadowdale, which found itself down 1-0 after the first inning, didn't get a hit off Frost until the fourth, when the Mavericks had four hits — including an RBI single by sophomore Hailey Costello — and tied the score 1-1.
Ciarra Hart, another sophomore, hit an RBI double in the bottom half of the sixth inning to score Tiffany DeWayne, who scored both Meadowdale runs, to give the Mavericks the lead for good.
DeWayne finished 2-for-2 with a double and a walk for Meadowdale.
"We've been here before," said Dennis Hopkins, the Meadowdale head coach. "We've had two or three games already this year where we've come back (late in the game). ... We do just like we did last year. We play it one inning at a time, one pitch at a time. We don't worry about what happened behind us. Just keep going forward."
Reuble improved to 3-0 with the win. The senior has committed to play for Seattle University next year.
"Alyssa pitched a great game," Hopkins said. "She's pretty calm. She's got it figured out. She's headed to go play college ball next year so this is just warm-up for that."
Meanwhile, Frost — who, like the Jackson team, has a 3-2 record — kept the Mavericks in check, getting out of a tough spot late in the game. Both teams threatened to score in the fifth inning, with Meadowdale getting runners on second and third base with one out. But Frost caught a line drive and struck out the next batter to end the threat.
"Sophia pitched her guts out. ... She's really stepped up and handled herself in a mature way for someone who's a freshman," Peacocke said of Frost. "Particularly, there were a few situations in the game where they had runners in scoring position with less than two outs and she's able to get herself out of it. She's tough and she's only going to get better. It's going to be a fun four years."
Frost also helped herself out on offense, with an RBI groundout in the first that gave the Timberwolves the early lead.
"Jackson's a great team. Well-coached and they have great players," Hopkins said. "They're just a great squad all the way through. They fought a hard battle and it could have went either way at any point in time in the game. Luckily, we came out on top in this one."
Reuble also had to work out of a couple scoring opportunities for Jackson, including the final inning. Cassidy Gannon, who was playing in her first varsity game of the year, hit a double with one out and advanced to third with two outs on a fielder's choice. But Reuble struck out the final Timberwolf batter to end the game.
Going up against a tough pitcher like Reuble was a great way for Jackson to end its nonleague schedule, Peacocke said.
"We're trying to get ready for league play. You want to win the games but at the same time you want to learn some things about your kids," Peacocke said. "For me, this was the perfect way to finish our nonleague (schedule) because we faced one of the best pitchers around and we can see how we're going to be able to measure up."
Jackson was led by leadoff hitter Sarah Casel, who batted 2-for-4 with two bunt singles and a run scored. Timberwolves second baseman Julianna Faulconer was 2-for-3.
One streak ended for one Jackson player in Monday's game. Timberwolves senior Jessica Roy had hit a home run in each of Jackson's first four games. But Reuble kept Roy inside the fence in her fifth contest.
Still, Peacocke was impressed.
"I don't think she was thinking about it too much," Peacocke said. "I think it probably gets in your head a little bit. That's something I've never seen before. Four games in a row. She's a great hitter. She'll bounce back."

Men's Volleyball Rallies from 2-0 Down at Mount Olive; Win Set Five Twice to Maintain First Place in League Standings
February 7, 2012
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. - After dropping the first two sets 25-19, Pfeiffer University rallied to win set three, four and set five twice to score a 3-2 (19-25, 19-25, 25-20, 25-14, 16-14) comeback victory at Mount Olive College in Conference Carolinas men's volleyball action on Tuesday night. The Falcons win their third-straight moving to 3-1 overall, staying atop the league standings at 3-0, while sending the Trojans to their sixth-straight loss dropping to 2-8, 1-1.
With a one-point lead and match point on their side, Pfeiffer looked to have put down the final kill of the night to secure the comeback win for the first time. However, after a line judge had called the ball in down in front of her, the up official over-ruled her decision to give the Trojans late life.
That final kill would have come off a kill by David Frazee, but instead turned a 15-13 win into a 14-14 tie with Mount Olive scoring three out of the last four points. Caleb Brophy and Quentin Moore would register the game's final kills to hold on for the 16-14 win. Four early errors led to a 7-1 Falcon lead in the fifth set before Mount Olive made their late comeback attempt.
Errors of their own plagued the Falcons in the first two sets before getting back on track thanks to a 6-0 lead to start set three all on Mount Olive errors. Leading for the entire third, Mount Olive got to within two at 20-18 on a kill by Lukas Hoelzl, but a following service error and put down by Moore sent the Falcons back up four. Pfeiffer would stave off the sweep with a 25-20 win.
The Falcons kept momentum going into the fourth owning the Trojans with a 25-14 win to force a fifth and decisive set. Pfeiffer took control after the one and only kill of the night needed by setter David Specian put the visitors up 10-8. Scoring the next five points, the Falcons closed out the set on a 15-6 run to set up the deciding contest.
Moore led the Falcons with 15 kills on the night followed by Brophy's even dozen. Specian set the Falcons up a match-high 49 times in the win while Brophy and Mark Hess each had 12 and 10 digs respectively on defense. The Pfeiffer defense limited to a .056 hitting percentage in set three followed by back-to-back negatives to secure the win. Alex Rivero paced the Trojans with 18 kills.
Next for the Falcons will be a trip to Eastern Mennonite on Saturday for a pair of matches in Virginia. Host EMU will be up first at 10:00 a.m. followed by Philly Biblical at 12:30 p.m.

How To Make a Fruit Crumble with Any Kind of Fruit
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
There will be a crumble of one kind or another on my table from now until Thanksgiving. Not to mention crisps and cobblers. Making any of these is so easy that you barely need a recipe; in fact, one basic recipe with some variations will serve for each. The only requirement is fresh summer fruit, the riper and closer to jamminess the better.
Crumbles, crisps, and cobblers are humbler and more fruit-forward than their more elegant pie and tart cousins. I typically add a minimal amount of sugar or spices and let the fruit speak for itself.
I also don't usually bother measuring or weighing the fruit I buy for a crumble. When shopping, I imagine my baking dish and then grab as much fruit as I think I'll need to fill it. Back in my kitchen, I slice the fruit directly into the pan and keep going until it's filled. If I don't have enough fruit, I either settle for a fruit-to-crumble ratio that's closer to 50/50 (not a bad thing) or add a handful of blueberries or another fruit in my bag to round it out.
And don't worry if you see juices puddling at the bottom of the dish after you start to serve. This is normal, especially if you couldn't help diving into the crumble while it was still warm and not quite fully set. A spoonful of these syrupy juices is the perfect finishing touch over the scoop of ice cream you will inevitably want with your crumble.
How to Make a Fruit Crumble
What You Need
For the filling:
6 - 7 cups fruit, enough to almost fill pan
1/2 - 1 cup sugar, to taste
1-3 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
1-3 tablespoons cornstarch, depending on juiciness of fruit
1 teaspoon spice, like cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg (optional)
For the crumble topping:
1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (4 ounces) brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
Note: Be sure to use a baking dish that is glass, ceramic, or another non-reactive material
8"x8" baking dish
9"x9" baking dish
9" pie dish
Heat oven to 375°F.
1. Prepare the Fruit Filling: If necessary, dice the fruit into bite-sized pieces. Toss the fruit with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and any spices. Use more sugar and less lemon juice when cooking with tart fruits like rhubarb and blackberries, and less sugar but more lemon juice for sweet fruits like peaches and plums. Best is to taste a piece of fruit and adjust to taste. Use more cornstarch with very juicy fruits like plums and less with firm fruits like apples. But don't worry; no matter your ratio of these ingredients, your crumble will be delicious.
Pour the fruit filling into the baking dish.
2. Prepare the Crumble Topping: Thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt for the crumble topping. Break the butter into a few large pieces and toss these in the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until large heavy crumbs are formed.
3. Top the Fruit Filling: Pour the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
4. Bake the Crumbe: Bake the crumblefor 30-35 minutes until the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges of the pan and the topping is firm to the touch.
5. Cool and Store the Crumble: Let the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before eating. If transporting to a picnic or party, let the crumble cool completely to give the fruit filling time to set. Crumbles will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to a week. Serve cold, room temperature, or re-warmed in a low oven for 20 minutes.
Additional Notes:
• Using a 9"x13" Pan: Increase the fruit to 10-11 cups, adjusting the other filling ingredients to match. Increase all the crumble topping ingredients by half (1 1/2 cups flour, etc.), except for the baking powder.
• To Make a Crisp: Add 1/2 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats or 1/2 cup chopped nuts (or both) to the topping.
• To Make a Cobbler: Press the crumbs into biscuit-sized patties and arrange them in a single layer over the fruit.
• Flour Substitutions: Try subbing another flour for all or some of the AP flour in this recipe. Almond flour, spelt flour, and barley flour would all make delicious crumbles and cobblers.
• Sugar Substitutions: Swap the brown sugar for white sugar for a lighter flavor, especially for cobblers. Feel free to experiment with other sugars in your cupboard as well.

Storm water pollution is urban runoff water that has picked up pollutants as it flows through the storm drain system–a network of channels, gutters and pipes that collect runoff from city streets, neighborhoods, construction sites and parking lots–and empties directly into local waterways and ultimately the ocean.
Unlike the sewer system, which goes to treatment plants, urban runoff flows untreated through the storm drain system. Anything thrown, swept or poured into the street, gutter or a catch basin–the curbside openings that lead into the storm drain system–can flow directly into our channels, creeks, and the ocean. This includes pollutants like trash, yard and pet waste, motor oil, construction debris, runoff from pesticides and fertilizers, paint from brushes and containers rinsed in the gutter and toxic household chemicals. Urban runoff pollution contaminates the ocean, causes beach closures, and harms aquatic life. It can also clog gutters and catch basins, increasing the risk of flooding.
Everyone can help prevent storm water pollution. It is often caused by everyday behavior that you may not realize contributes to the problem. Simple behavior changes are all it takes to prevent storm water pollution, if we all do our part.
What is NPDES?
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program was established as a result of the 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Act, subsequently known as the Clean Water Act. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of any pollutant to navigable waters from a point source unless the discharge is authorized by an NPDES permit. In 1987, Congress passed a Clean Water Act Amendment, the Water Quality Act, which brought storm water discharges into the NPDES Program.
Cities and counties are regulated through permits issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Since 1990, operators of large storm drain systems such as the City have been required to:
The NPDES permit programs in California are administered by the State Water Resources Control Board and by nine regional boards that issue NPDES permits and enforce regulations within their respective regions. The City of Fullerton lies within the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Region. The regional board issues permits to the Orange County Permittees, which includes the County of Orange, Orange County Flood Control District and incorporated cities of Orange County. Since the program's inception, the County of Orange has served as the principal permittee.
Some Industrial activities and certain construction activities are subject to the Industrial Storm Water General Permit (General Industrial Permit) or the (Construction General Permit) regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board, through general storm water permits. For further information follow the link to the appropriate permit.

Hey Chuck put me down for adv. master #37592
Will do, James!! Nice to know I'll have some competition (that will kick my butt)!!
Eric, the photo that you probably saw was an old one of Tim Foley putting on #1. Taken last year while the course was still being developed, I think.
By the way, I've been getting several calls, including some pros from Lexington (so see, they DO travel on occasion!!!), so it's starting to look like we may have a good turn out this year. Don't miss out!!!!!!
any other am. 1 peeps out there? I'd like to do this one just don't see hardly anyone signed up. Maybe everyone is waiting till day of?
Thanks to my sponsor

How many people do you have playing rec so far?
I'm a professional 120-foot putter, as long as I'm at Iroquois and as long as I'm on hole 14.
At the moment, there are only two signed up for Rec, but that seems to be the one division above all the others that has a bounty of players sign up the day of. I told our Tourism Director (who commented in an e-mail to me to get the disc golfers moving and sign up early) that if he could figure out a way to get disc golfers to pre-register for their tournaments, he would be the hero of every TD out there!!! lol
If they could get rid of the silly 2 or 3 dollar charge for signing up online I bet they would get a lot more people to pre-register online. I have only played in 1 tournament myself, but I can tell you that until there is a way to sign up online for free I will be signing up via check in the mail or in person at the course. It should end up saving me lots of money in the long run, which means more tournaments!
I think I might be coming. Is this a pretty rec-friendly course? I play Iroquiois almost exclusively, but I have been itching to play some new courses ever since I watched the USDGC online.
I'm a professional 120-foot putter, as long as I'm at Iroquois and as long as I'm on hole 14.
Factor in the cost of your check, the cost of a stamp, the cost of an envelope, the ink you use to right your info with, and the paper you write your info on and you probably spending +/-$1 to mail in your info. So you're really only saving a dollar and some change per tourney and wasting paper in the process. I'm just sayin'...
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
lebanon is on my radar this weekend. not digging that forecast though, not a fan of playing in the cold.

Student Preparations for Advising Appointments
In order to receive the support and guidance you need from an advising appointment, it is extremely important that you prepare in advance. Some suggestions for the steps you might take in preparation for meeting with an advisor are listed below:
Develop a sense of what you need to accomplish in your advising appointment. Remember, you can see an advisor more than once each semester, so you don't need to accomplish everything in one meeting.
Develop a list of questions that will help you accomplish your goals for the appointment.
READ. Before meeting with your advisor, read the section of the Catalog that pertains to your college (College of the Arts), school, and major. If you have scheduling questions, review the Registrar's web site, including registration deadlines.
If semester scheduling is what you want to accomplish, develop a list of classes you want to take for the next semester incorporating necessary prerequisites. This may make it necessary to plan more than one semester at a time.
Meet with your advisor early in the semester. The closer you are to registration or the end of the semester, the harder it is to get an appointment with your advisor.
Leave time to get on the controlled class sign up lists. This activity occurs early in the semester and you may need to see an advisor for assistance in course selection.
Keep your appointment. If you must cancel, do it promptly and courteously.

My battle to expose government corruption
Our leaders need to be held accountable, says journalist Heather Brooke. And she should know: Brooke uncovered the British Parliamentary financial expenses that led to a major political scandal in 2009. She urges us to ask our leaders questions through platforms like Freedom of Information requests — and to finally get some answers.

SPOKANE, Wash.-- City Council members criticized one of their own on Friday for calling Washington Governor Jay Inslee a lying whore in letter.
His mother should be washing his mouth out with soap, said Council President Ben Stuckart.
The Spokane City Council President offered tough words for colleague Mike Fagan during an interview with KREM 2 News.
Fagen co-signed a letter to members of a grouped called Voters Want More Choices. The letter from the political action committed letter grabbed attention earlier in the week.
Candidate Inslee repeatedly promised to veto any tax increase. He said no way to higher transportation taxes in 2013. Inslee said he'd grow jobs to generate more tax revenue, what a lying whore he turned out to be, stated the letter.
Stuckart called the letter inappropriate, but other leaders said the letter is meant to get the public s attention.
Councilman Fagan declined an interview with KREM 2 News. However, he released a statement where he voiced his support for the letter.
It is really unfortunate that a lot of folks aren't aware, or won't take into consideration that words tend to have multiple meanings, wrote Fagen in his statement, we tend to always assume the worst.
Stuckart said his statement condemning the comments is where this will likely stop.

Olson's Complete Game Moves Zags Past Pepperdine 2-0
MALIBU, Calif. – Behind a complete game shut out from pitcher Tyler Olson, No. 24 Gonzaga University baseball won its 11th consecutive game with a 2-0 series clincher over Pepperdine University Saturday at Eddy D. Field Stadium. Olson, who escaped a bases loaded jam in the eighth inning, allowed just four hits en route to his seventh win of the season.
Gonzaga bolsters its record to 26-10-1 overall and continues to hold the top West Coast Conference record of 13-4. Pepperdine who entered the week second in WCC standings, drops to 20-17 overall and 8-6 in conference play.
The Bulldogs, who are 10-0 in the month of April, got Olson (7-2) all he would need by scoring in the fourth and fifth inning.
In the fourth, Cory LeBrun scored on a wild pitch from Waves starter Corey Miller. LeBrun reached earlier in the inning with a leadoff walk. It was LeBrun who struck again in the fifth. Travis Forbes started the fifth off with a single through the right side and Cabe Reiten laid a sacrifice bunt advancing Forbes to second base.
Mitchell Gunsolus then walked putting two runners on with one out. A fielder's choice allowed Pepperdine to get the out at third, bringing LeBrun to the plate with Zags on first and second. On the second pitch, LeBrun singled to the right side bringing home the second run of the game.
From there it was all Olson taking care of business. Pepperdine loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom half of the eighth but Olson was able to get Austin Davidson to lineout to left ending Pepperdine's best threat.
The performance was the fourth complete game of the season for Olson and his first shutout. He lowered his ERA to 2.41.
Gonzaga will go for the series sweep Sunday at 1 p.m. The Zags have won nine consecutive WCC games.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Fabulous Invitations!!
I cannot believe the wonderful experience I had with Magnetstreet! I had ordered samples from several other online vendors, and had problems just with that. Not with Magnetstreet. They were quick to answer questions during the design process (before I ordered) and were a snap to work with. I had several personalization requests for my invitations (including adding our own map and changing the layout of one piece of the suite) - not only were they able to accommodate all the things I asked for, THERE WAS NO EXTRA CHARGE! It was amazing. When it came time for printing, I was contacted by Sue about a mismatch in colors she saw on the proof that I hadn't even noticed! That attention to detail blew me away! Everyone who has seen my invitations so far (just got them last week), has been really impressed. The paper is such a good quality, the printing is fantastic, and the design is unique and special. I'm so glad that I chose magnetstreet over the other vendors I tried.
Beautiful colors & design
Loved the design! Was really impressed with the quality of the paper and printing!
Great invites for a great price
Ordered these invites for my upcoming wedding 10-13-12. Definitely fits my fall tree theme perfectly. Love that you can customize the colors not many sites let you have this much control. Take advantage of their free samples. ;)
fun and easy
These invites were great. Personalizing them was fun, and everything showed up really quickly packaged very well. The only thing I would recomend is adding envelope liners to your order. The envelopes were the only thing that felt a little flimsy, and with so many pieces going into them I thought the inserts would help add some stability. They haven't arrived yet, but if they are like everything else I'm sure they will be great.
Delighted with the Quality!!!
High quality for a low price. Invitations are so unique and are very sturdy. We were hesitant to order online. Wound up being a wonderful decision!

Bamboo Tiles
Bamboo Tiles: Bamboo tiles are becoming a popular hard surface alternative to hardwood floors due to the increasing price of hardwood flooring, but also because of its eco-friendly benefits. Bamboo flooring is cheaper and better for the environment because bamboo is a plentiful resource that grows quickly and can be harvested with minimal impact to the environment. This kind of flooring is also highly resistant to moisture and is easy to clean, as well.

The first time a boy called me a dyke, I'd just turned 15. I didn't know the word in a sexual sense, so I didn't totally understand what he meant. But I knew I wasn't being complimented.
I could tell by the tone of his voice, the sneer on his face, and the way he nudged his buddy as he formed the word on his lips that "dyke" wasn't simply another insensitive teenager's assessment of my appearance, but a broader judgment — and it was rendered with unmistakable disgust. That one word was more negatively charged than any of the names I'd been called before.
"Fat" and "ugly" stung me — always. But "dyke" seared. It felt as if the word came not from the mouth of small, stupid boy who sucked his opinion and bravado that day from a pint of Colt 45, but from the end of a sharp and glowing-red poker that now had chunks of my heart or lungs hanging from it. Like the word, the pain was new, and with it came a feeling of isolation I hadn't known before. I didn't only feel victimized and violated; I felt annihilated.
That experience taught me plenty. I not only learned that the delivery of words is just as important as the words themselves, but also that intuition and common sense are just as valuable as a good vocabulary. I've relied on my common sense and gut a lot since that day because I, like plenty of other queers, eventually discovered that my sexuality is far more problematic for others than it is for me, and that those who are troubled by it are often artful in expressing their disgust and, sometimes later, in denying it.
So I followed the stories behind the four quotes above, and the public reactions to them, with more than passing interest — and with my common sense on high alert.
Like every lesbian who has been on the receiving end of a malicious outburst, I was happy to learn that Boston talk radio station WRKO fired host John DePetro after he called Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross a "fat lesbian" on air on Nov. 2. His words were intentionally vicious, proving that schoolyard bullies never die; they just get older and taller.
DePetro's firing was a no-brainer to station operators, who knew that his tongue was a lighted fuse. According to the Boston Herald, "In July, DePetro was suspended for two days and ordered to apologize on the air after he called former Massachusetts Turnpike chief Matt Amorello 'Fag Matt' on his show." After that suspension, DePetro was warned that "any further comments of this kind would be dealt with in a severe way." To the benefit of WRKO's queer listeners, the station kept its word.

HIGH POINT, N.C. - The Limestone College men's soccer team has been voted as the preseason favorites to capture the program's first ever Conference Carolinas Regular Season Championship. The Saints have narrowly missed a share of the regular season title in each of the past two seasons, falling short of Lees-McRae by a single point in the final standings on each occasion. Lees-McRae and Coker round out the top three while Pfeiffer University checked in at #6.
LC returns 10 veterans from the 2010 squad that finished 11-6-1 overall and 7-2 in league play, including a pair of All-Conference selections in senior Mike Stephenson and sophomore Jack Bailey. Although the 2010 season ended abruptly on penalty kicks in the first round of the Conference Carolinas Tournament, the Saints boasted one of the nation's top offenses last season as they ranked eighth with 2.72 goals per match. On the season, Limestone outscored opponents 49-26 but was especially dominant at home as they outpaced visitors 26-4 in the scoring column.
Entering the 2011 campaign, the Blue and Gold will have only four upperclassmen returning from a season ago. However, the Saints will look to five junior transfers with high levels of collegiate experience to fill the void while also depending on a very seasoned and talented sophomore class. Additionally, Limestone's freshmen class features a bevy of domestic and international talent.
Lees-McRae College finds themselves under new leadership once again this season, with three-time All-American Lee Squires taking the reins after leading the Bobcats to four consecutive league titles as a player. The Bobcats are coming off from last year's Conference Carolinas Championship title along with their fourth straight regular season title ending the year at 13-5-3 overall and 7-1-1 in league play.
Lees-McRae is certain to feature several new faces on the pitch, welcoming 15 newcomers into the fold while returning seven players from last year's squad. Seniors David Palmer, Luke Duffy, and Luke Staats return to guide the Bobcats into a new era from the second spot in the preseason poll.
Coker College returns a large portion of last season's Conference Carolinas Tournament Finals team, including Second Team All-Conference and All-Tournament selection Rommel Fondin and All-Tournament selection James Sweeney. The Cobras will be looking to make a third straight appearance in the Conference Carolinas Tournament Finale after finishing the 2010 season with a record of 7-7-5 overall and 3-4-2 league record.
A young squad, the Cobras are led by juniors Fondin and Sweeney. Fondin returns to the lead the offense and Sweeney will lead the defense.
