|Vandal women return home
The Idaho women's basketball team will play its first home game since Jan. 19 when it hosts New Mexico State on Feb. 7 at 6 p.m. in the Cowan Spectrum.
The Vandals are 10-12 overall and 7-4 in the Western Athletic Conference after going 3-1 on the road during the past two weeks. The Vandals have won seven of their last nine games overall. New Mexico State enters the game with a 9-12 overall record and a 3-8 mark in WAC play and has dropped its last seven games.
New Mexico State is led by Stefanie Gilbreath, who averages 16.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. Scoring point guard Danesia Williamson adds 11.2 points and 2.9 assists per game. The Aggies and their opponents both average less than 60.0 points per game, as NMSU is averaging 57.1 and giving up 59.9. On the contrary, Idaho averages 65.5 and gives up 67.8.
Idaho senior Jessica Graham has put together a nice four-game stretch. In Idaho's last four games, she is averaging 11.5 points and 6.0 rebounds, and shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 62.5 percent from 3-point range, coming off the bench in all four games. Both shooting percentages are the best on the team in that span, while her scoring average is second and her rebounding average is third.
While the stats show that New Mexico State prefers the game to be scored in the 50's, Idaho beat the Aggies at their own game, winning 57-51 in Las Cruces on Jan. 12. The Vandals held New Mexico State to just 23.0 percent shooting from the field to overcome a 4-of-17 3-point shooting performance and NMSU's 47-41 rebounding advantage in the victory. Idaho junior Alyssa Charlston scored 19 points and added 11 rebounds, while Jessica Graham added 10 points, and Christina Salvatore and Stacey Barr each added nine. NMSU's Stefanie Gilbreath led all scorers with 21 points in that game.
Thursday's game is Military Appreciation Day, with $5 admission for all veterans and military members and their families.
Fans who can't make it to the Cowan Spectrum for the game can catch the action on KMAX 840 AM or on VandalXtra. Free live stats will also be available at www.GoVandals.com.

The Power of One (Paperback)
"The Power of One has everything: suspense, the exotic, violence; mysticism, psychology and magic; schoolboy adventures, drama."
–The New York Times
"Unabashedly uplifting . . . asserts forcefully what all of us would like to believe: that the individual, armed with the spirit of independence–'the power of one'–can prevail."
–Cleveland Plain Dealer
In 1939, as Hitler casts his enormous, cruel shadow across the world, the seeds of apartheid take root in South Africa. There, a boy called Peekay is born. His childhood is marked by humiliation and abandonment, yet he vows to survive and conceives heroic dreams–which are nothing compared to what life actually has in store for him. He embarks on an epic journey through a land of tribal superstition and modern prejudice where he will learn the power of words, the power to transform lives, and the power of one.
"Totally engrossing . . . [presents] the metamorphosis of a most remarkable young man and the almost spiritual influence he has on others . . . Peekay has both humor and a refreshingly earthy touch, and his adventures, at times, are hair-raising in their suspense."
–Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Marvelous . . . It is the people of the sun-baked plains of Africa who tug at the heartstrings in this book. . . . [Bryce] Courtenay draws them all with a fierce and violent love."
–The Washington Post Book World
"A compelling tale."
–The Christian Science Monitor

A left-footed central defender with a formidable long-range shot, Daniel Agger has been a Liverpool FC player since January 2006, but much of his time at Anfield has been spent recovering from injury. An ever-present for Denmark at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he is set to captain his country at UEFA EURO 2012.
• Came through the youth system at Brøndby IF and experienced a brilliant debut season in the Superligaen, making 26 appearances and scoring five goals as the club won the Danish league and cup double under coach Michael Laudrup.
• Handed his senior international debut in a friendly against Finland in Tampere on 2 June 2005, he scored his first goal for Morten Olsen's team three months later during a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier versus Georgia (6-1).
• Left for European champions Liverpool midway through 2005/06 season and made a major impact the following term, notably in the UEFA Champions League, starting 11 matches and scoring the only goal in the second leg of the semi-final against Chelsea FC at Anfield, which Liverpool won on penalties; played in the Athens showpiece defeat by AC Milan.
• Missed most of 2007/08 with a foot injury but returned to assist Liverpool in finishing second in the 2008/09 Premier League and help Denmark end six years in the international wilderness by qualifying for the 2010 World Cup; started all three fixtures in South Africa.
• Finally reached 100 Premier League appearances for Liverpool in October 2011 and won his first trophy with the club in February 2012 as the Merseysiders overcame Cardiff City FC on penalties in the League Cup final – although he was substituted before the shoot-out with yet another injury.

Ron and Amy Shirley of "Lizard Lick Towing" arrived in Lexington on August 5, 2014. No, they weren't there to repo a car, boat, motorcycle, truck or anything like that. They came to take part in the Lexington Police Department's Annual National Night Out.
According to Dispatch, Ron and Amy's presence drew in a record number of people of over 12,000. Ron told the Dispatch, "I'm probably as surprised as an Amish electrician in a power plant. We've done several National Night Outs and I've never seen one with this many people. … This is absolutely amazing."
Once a year, on the first Tuesday in August, the public is invited to come to Lexington and attend the National Night Out. The City of Lexington website describes the event as, "The National Night Out is a great opportunity for you and your family to get to know the public servants that are dedicated to keeping you safe."
The event not only tries to make people aware of ways to prevent crime, like locking your doors and taking the keys out of the ignition, they also have several different fundraisers. One benefit was geared toward the victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and gender violence.
"Walk a Mile in Her Shoes," where men donned high heels and carried purses, walked down the street. People donated money into their purses. The funds they collected went to the domestic violence shelter and prevention programs of FSDC. Some of the city and county's big names took part in the event like Frank Callicutt, Lexington city councilman, Lee Jessup, president of the Davidson County United Way, and Robert Hyatt, Davidson County manager. Many of them complained about how the heels were high and hurt their feet, but in reality, that helped draw more attention or awareness to what women go through at the hands of their abusers.
Lee Jessup said, "It's something we should all be for, but it's a great thing when men can come together as a group, have fun and celebrate the fact that nobody needs to do violence toward women of any age. This whole night is a celebration of us and the neighborhood, and we can start by being good citizens and taking care of our women."
Frank Callicutt reports that domestic violence is not something that people want to talk about, especially if that person is the victim. They want to bring awareness, so people know it is not all right for someone to abuse them.
On one episode of "Lizard Lick Towing," Amy came to the defense of one woman who came in with a man for a book left in her car. The man she was with, backed the young lady in a corner. Amy didn't turn her head away; she tackled the problem head on. She came out of the office and told him to stop. The man slapped Amy and that's when Amy jumped on him. Ron and Bobby came out in time to throw him out the door. Then, to make sure that the women stayed safe, Amy personally drove her home. Being a power lifter, Amy can handle just about any male that threatens her.
Ron is an ordained minister of the Dirt Church. He boldly claims that the success of his show comes from God and he often includes God's word in the show. He may be a TV star, but he maintains his down-home personality. "We are regular folks," he said. "The business is real. We work every day, trying to make ends meet. … These are our people, Walmart shopping, bass fishing, deer hunting, farmers."
Lizard Lick Towing is one of the few shows where the stars aren't swearing, using the F*** word or including sexual context in their show to gain ratings.

The San Francisco 49ers almost considered dealing head coach Jim Harbaugh to the Cleveland Browns for multiple draft picks, according to a report on Pro Football Talk.
Cleveland was the last team to hire their head coach as they Mike Pettine became the person last month. The Browns spokesman told ESPN Cleveland that a deal was almost near.
"The team conducted an extensive coaching search, and explored several options," Gilbert said. "That search produced an outstanding head coach in Mike Pettine and we're excited about his future with the club."
A 49ers source calls this "ridiculous", according to Ian Rapport. Harbaugh signed a five-year contract in 2011 after a successful Orange Bowl win while at Stanford. He is making $5 million a year and no extension has occurred since then. Jed York, the team's CEO has openly wanted the 49ers head coach extended, but nothing has been done as of now.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk said the trade was in place where the 49ers would receiver a package of draft picks. In the end, Harbaugh turned down the idea of leaving the 49ers and would not join the AFC North Division.
Harbaugh has been consistently silent on any contract talks from players and coaches, including his own. He shot down any initial rumors of taking the head coaching job at the University of Texas. When he spoke at the combine, there was no hint of him potentially leaving the 49ers.
UPDATE 3:13 p.m.
York has tweeted that the report isn't true.

As we approach the 2009 Black Friday Deals, consumer sites are warning about fake Black Friday Deals coupons online.
Last week, several 2009 Black Friday Ad Deals posted online were reported fake by Reuters. The result caused consumers into confusion and retailers' legal departments into a hunt for the cause.
How do you protect yourself against fake Black Friday Ad Deals? First, hear the news directly from the source. Retailers post on their website teasers. They tell you even several days ahead of time hints on
a. products that will be discounted
b. percentage of discounting
c. how to effectuate the deal.
Apple is an excellent example. In 2009, days ahead of Black Friday, Apple gave you a teaser. It included the products subjected, a suggestion of the quantity of products in the deal, and even delivery information.
It read "Come back to the Apple Online Store this Friday for a special one day only Christmas shopping event. You'll find dozens of great iPod, iPhone and Mac gift ideas, all with free delivery."
It was all right on their website.
As you can see, three things worked:
1. The notice came directly from the retailer rather than some 3rd party website.
2. The notice in fact gave a suggestion of which products might get Black Friday discounting.
3. The information was on one website and only one website – Apple's.
"It got an email sent to me", "this is secret information" – those lines are typical of the fake deals being posted online.
How big are the discounts? LALATE in 2008 covered Amazon.com's Sharp Aquos 42 inch tv LCD HDTV. It was offered on Black Friday for $999.98, compared to a list of $1500, an approximate 33% saving.
So for buyers always wait to get the information from the retailer and rely on information on their website. However, prepare ahead of time. Choose your products and know their normal full retail price ahead of time so that when Black Friday notices come you will be ready.

The New Orleans Saints reportedly don't plan to pick up running back Mark Ingram's fifth-year option. That's one of the last major decisions they'll have ahead, other than signing tight end Jimmy Graham and perhaps finding a center, before the 2014 NFL draft.
The Saints have picks in the first six rounds of the draft, which will be held May 8-10 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
So come talk everything Saints: free agency, the draft, or the regular season in a chat with me. I'll be taking questions for an hour starting at 1:30 p.m.

The 186th annual St.Patrick's day parade ended in tragedy this afternoon after an 19 year-old boy was run over by a float and killed.
At 2:25 this afternoon, on the corner of Peel and St. Catherine streets , police say the young man hopped off the "Marianopolis College " float for a few minutes and then tried to scramble back on when he lost his footing and apparently fell underneath a wheel.
They say they believe alcohol was a factor.
"The information we have is that at one point, he was on the float. It's very early in the investigation to figure out how all this happened. There are a whole bunch of possibilities." said Anie Lemieux of the Montreal police.
Marching right behind the float was a group of dancers, many of whom witnessed the event in horror.
"I couldn't believe what I was looking at, " said one, " I was frozen in shock."
" I starting crying as soon as I relaized what was goin on we felt helpless to stop anything."
Other witnesses watched in shock from the sidewalk,
"When I saw him he was really stuck between the two wheels his head stuck there", said one man..
"I saw a person fall off, and I saw the truck go over, go up and then down," said Elizabeth Steinberg, who witnessed the scene.
"I saw a hand - that was it. I was yelling 'Stop the truck! Stop the truck!'... I'm shaking right now. I'm traumatized."
Montreal police Const. Anie Lemieux said conflicting eyewitness accounts had made it difficult to determine exactly how the man became pinned.
The parade started at noon and ran east along Ste. Catherine Street.
Police quickly cordoned off the area and moved people away from the scene as ambulance and emergency workers tended to the victim.
This isn't the first time an accident has happend during the parade.
In 2002 a Concordia student's legs were crushed when he fell under the wheels of a truck carrying a float.
Police have not confirmed the man's indentity.

Arrive in Quito and transfer to your hotel.
Enjoy a guided tour of the capital of Ecuador, situated at an altitude of 9,350 feet and stand on the equatorial line at the Half of the World Park and Museum. Marvel at the monasteries of San Francisco and Santo Domingo. A tour director will guide throughout Quito and serve as personal concierge. Enjoy lunch with a spectacular view of the city, and a welcome dinner at a fine local restaurant.
Arrive in Baltra and embark your expedition vessel. During World War II, Baltra served as a U.S. military base protecting the Panama Canal from enemy attack. Now Baltra's cactus-strewn landscapes are home to the region's main airport. Explore the Xpedition, a 296-foot mega-yacht and your home for the voyage.
Daphne is a volcanic cone located north of Santa Cruz Island. The crater floor is an important breeding site for Blue-footed Boobies. Famous for the scientific investigation of the finch population that supports Charles Darwin's theory, the island is also home to sea lions, pelicans and tropical birds.
A long, white sand beach and clear blue waters make Gardner Bay an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing on the beach. In the water, sea turtles, sea lions, rays, colorful tropical fish, and white-tip reef sharks may be seen. Excursion options include beach walks, swimming, or for the experienced, a deep water snorkel.
Espanola, home to an abundance of wildlife, is the oldest island in the Galapagos. Visit Suarez Point and observe sea lions, hawks, marine iguanas, and both Blue-footed and Nazca Boobies. Keep an eye out for Waved Albatross migrating through to mate and raise their young. Excursion options include a long, rocky walk to look for albatross or observe an impressive blowhole spraying water to the sky like a towering geyser.
The Galapagos first capital and where Charles Darwin first met the islands' governor, Floreana's history is vast like its beauty. Arrive by Zodiac and observe the green-hued sand. Small lagoons are home to flamingos, stilts, and White-Cheeked Pintail Ducks. Sea turtles nest on its quiet beaches. Excursion options near Cormorant Point include a relatively short walk to the lagoon and sea turtle-nesting beach, or optional snorkeling and swimming at the landing beach. Experienced snorkelers can explore the deep water near Champion Island.
Post Office Bay, home to the post office barrel, was established around 1793 when whalers and others began leaving mail to be picked up by outbound ships. Continue the tradition and post a letter or postcard of your own.
Along Moreno Point's beautiful rocky shore, a field of hardened black lava flow is dotted with shallow pools, which are home to shorebirds and flamingos. The mangrove-lined shore provides a chance to see marine iguanas, sea turtles, stingrays, sharks, penguins, and Flightless Cormorant. Excursion options include a long walk and Zodiac ride, or an extended Zodiac ride.
At Urvina Bay, observe large land iguanas, finches, and possibly a giant tortoise or two. In 1954, the intrusion of magma below one of the island's volcanoes caused part of the bay to be uplifted six meters. Walk through the remains of what was once a thriving underwater reef. Excursion options include a long, brisk hike with some rock climbing required, or a short walk, both followed by an optional snorkel.
Fernandina is the youngest island in the Galapagos. With its extraordinary black lava rocks, Espinoza Point hosts the largest colony of marine iguanas in the archipelago, along with sea lions and a nesting site for Flightless Cormorants. Excursion options include a long walk, or a Zodiac ride and short walk, as well as a deep water snorkel for the more experienced.
Discover ancient volcanic remains at Vicente Roca Point. Cruise by Zodiac past awe-inspiring cliffs searching for sea turtles, penguins, fur seals, Flightless Cormorant, marine mammals and iguanas.
One of two twin islands off Santa Cruz, South Plaza is home to land and marine iguanas, and a sea lion colony. Uplifted during a geological event, the rocky island is strewn with prickly pear cactus. Explore the island on a short walk to view wildlife, flora, and geology.
Dragon Hill, or "Cerro Dragon," is named after its population of land iguanas. The site offers a beautiful view of the landscape and two small brackish lagoons where flamingos and other shore birds occasionally feed. Along the trail, we'll cross a beautiful "white forest" of Palo Santo
(incense) trees and Galapagos cotton plants. Options for this visit include a long walk and a short walk.
Puerto Ayora, the islands' most populous center, is home to the National Park Tortoise Breeding Center and the Charles Darwin Research Station.
After learning about the islands' comprehensive conservation program, take a bus ride to the highlands to observe giant tortoises in the wild and walk through a lava tunnel.
Return to Baltra Island and say farewell to the enchanted islands. Upon arrival in Quito, a representative will escort you to your hotel. Enjoy an optional afternoon excursion, time permitting, to the local craft market. Dinner is served at your hotel.
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before transferring to the airport for your return flight home.

The Developer I'll Stick WithI have problem hair - thick, coarse, curly and over 50 % gray. I've straightened it twice using over the counter staighteners and wanted to be kind to it when coloring.
I got this product and mixed it with - get this - a leftover tube of dark brown #40 from a Revlon Colorist kit. This gave me the best result I've ever had. My hair was sleek and soft and the liquid consistency made it easy to get it into all of my thick hair.

Ceremony will take place at halftime of the Lute Olson All-Star Classic on Aug. 14
TUCSON, Ariz. ?- The University of Arizona department of athletics will retire the jersey worn by former All-American and 2003 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Player of the Year Jason Gardner in a ceremony scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 14.
The ceremony will take place at halftime of the Lute Olson All-Star Classic. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. PDT in McKale Center.
"We are very proud to honor Jason on such a special weekend," said Athletics Director Jim Livengood. "His accomplishments as a Wildcat certainly make him a worthy recipient of this honor."
Gardner, a 5-foot-10 point guard from Indianapolis, Ind., played for the Wildcats from 1999-2003. He earned All-America honors 12 times during his career, including six such selections in 2002-03. In addition to his All-America accolades, he was a three-time all-Pac-10 honoree and a five-time all-region selection, culminated by United States Basketball Writers Association all-District 9 Player-of-the-Year honors in 2002-03.
Gardner still ranks in the top 10 in 13 different career statistical categories, including career 3-point field goals made (2nd/318), 3-point field goal attempts (1st/875), steals (2nd/225), assists (3rd/622), games played (1st/136), games started (1st/135), and minutes played (1st/4,825). He is the highest scoring guard in Arizona history (1,984 points) and ranks third on the career points scored list. Gardner posted per game averages of 14.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.7 steals during his 136-game career.
His impact on college basketball was immediate as he earned a number of individual accolades in 1999-2000, including national Freshman-of-the-Year honors from Basketball Times, the USBWA and ESPN.com. Over the course of his career, Gardner guided Arizona to a 107-29 (.787) record, two Pac-10 championships (2000, 2003), a Pac-10 Tournament title (2002) and berth in the 2001 national championship game.
Gardner is one of only four players in Pacific-10 Conference history to amass more than 1,500 points, 500 assists and 200 steals in a career. Additionally, his 4,825 career minutes played are the second-most in NCAA history, according to information collected by Basketball Times.
Based on department policy, only student-athletes who were recognized as national athletes of the year, or received a major national "athlete of the year" honor are eligible for their jersey to be retired. Numbers are not retired, only the jersey is retired.
Gardner, who wore No. 22 as a Wildcat, joins Sean Elliott (1985-89), Steve Kerr (1983-88) and Mike Bibby (1996-98) as the only University of Arizona men's basketball players to have their jerseys retired.
Gardner has played professional basketball in Europe since completing his eligibility, including the last two seasons in Belgium.

2001 RITA Finalist
The phenomenal #1 New York Times-bestselling author
presents a novel set deep in the bayou of Louisiana-where
the only witness to a long-ago tragedy is a once-grand house.
Declan Fitzgerald had always been the family maverick, but
even he couldn't understand his impulse to buy a dilapidated
mansion on the outskirts of New Orleans. All he knew was
that ever since he first saw Manet Hall, he'd been
enchanted-and obsessed-with it. So when the opportunity to
buy the house comes up, Declan jumps at the chance to live
out a dream.
Determined to restore Manet Hall to its former splendor,
Declan begins the daunting renovation room by room, relying
on his own labor and skills. But the days spent in total
isolation in the empty house take a toll. He is seeing
visions of days from a century past, and experiencing
sensations of terror and nearly unbearable grief-sensations
not his own, but those of a stranger. Local legend has it
that the house is haunted, and with every passing day
Declan's belief in the ghostly presence grows.
Only the companionship of alluring Angelina Simone can
distract him from the mysterious happenings in the house,
but Angelina too has her own surprising connection to Manet
Hall-a connection that will help Declan uncover a secret
that's been buried for a hundred years.

The reef clean-up trip was a huge success this weekend. We had a great turn out and collected a huge amount of trash. The party after was a great way to relax and unwind after a fun afternoon of diving. I am looking forward to setting up more trips like this in the near future. Hope everyone else had as good of a time as I did.
On the morning of the 1st of February the Sairee Cottage dive boat sailed out to Chumpon Pinnacle with a number of students and fun divers, only to find huge areas of the dive site covered by a fishing net. There were a large number of Fusiliers and Groupers caught up in the net, and unfortunately many of them were already dead.
Divers from many different schools across Koh Tao were working hard to cut free those fish that were still alive, and untangle as much as possible. However, you can only do so much when you are leading students and customers.
On Saturday, January 19, 2013, Dive Friends Bonaire @ Yellow Submarine filled up with enthusiastic volunteers ready for the first quarterly clean-up dive of the new year. The crowd primarily consisted of vacationing divers but there were also a large number of local residents, including a group of Junior Rangers from the Bonaire Marine Park. All of the participants collected their free tanks from the dive center and then assembled for the safety briefing.
On Saturday Jan 19th 2013, in collaboration with the Surfrider foundation, Mālama Na `Apapa (MNA) conducted an in-water marine debris removal at Ahukini Landing, while the Surfrider group focused on removing a large net that had washed up on the beach near the Kamalani Playground, MNA responded to a report of a large net floating off of Ahukini Landing near where the Giant Green Sea Turtles swim daily. We located a medium sized "Ghost Net" entangled in the old pilings and removed it. The "Ghost Net" weighed about 300 pounds and if untangled and stretched out would be
In early January 2013, the personnel of the Bay Islands Conservation Association, BICA, discovered that a huge abandoned fishing net had drifted from the open sea onto "Raggedy Cay", one of the popular dive sites on Utila's West End, and was so big they were unable to lift or remove it, particularly as initial reports stated that the net was at a depth between 30 and 70 meters / 100 to 200 feet and as big as a volleyball court.
One of the beautiful things about diving is the diversity of the people who are passionate about the sport. People with all different points of view and life experiences can be found donning fins and masks to take that plunge in another world. While diversity is one of the things that makes diving great, it also makes it all the more impressive when divers unite to solve a problem like shark finning. The FINathon hosted by Patriot Scuba was a perfect example of this. They are a small shop in Occoquan, VA with a big passion for the ocean. So when they heard abou
Last Saturday, nine swimmers enjoyed sunny weather to join forces against shark finning. In total, over 10 kilometers was covered to raise funds to help Project AWARE:
On 30 Nov the Blue Guru dive team snorkeled 30km to end finning: shark finning.
Despite a perfectly timed thunderstorm adding to the challenge of snorkeling around 2 islands, our Finathon was a great team event.
Our 3 Divemaster trainees kicked off the Finathon quickly completing their timed 800m snorkel by circumnavigating the smaller of the 2 islands. The rest of the dive team followed at a more leisurely pace!!
Taught the AWARE Shark Conservaton Specialty in October for the first time and what a great course it is. I was already a Shark Awareness Instructor in the Bahamas however being back in the UK teaching made me notice the huge decrease we see of sharks around the coast here. The presentation slides are fantastic and its great that you can add your own slides about local sharks to make it even more relevant for your divers.
First, I really want to thank all of those who helped make this event a success. We had divers, safety observers, kayak surface support, and data collectors. As a result of all of your efforts, we collected over 1,500 pounds of debris from the waters! Everyone did a great job, and I thank you all.

the only knock i have against Ben Jones is that fact that he is from the backwoods state of Alabama.ReplyDelete
But Ben Jones is of Georgia parentage.
Are we not all of superior Southern breeding. At least he had the good sense to come to Georgia, right?
I`m all in for the Dawgs this Saturday to wreck havoc on the ponies
This however is totally off the subject,
I love you guy`s site and the way ya`ll keep it real. I was going to ask when baseball ramps back up, you think you guys could find a way to throw some Tyrus Raymond Cobb in the mix? He seems like he would be a great addition to your collection of Patton who once said he looked at Ty Cobb as a role model, just a thought
keep up the good work!!
Funny you should ask but Mr. Cobb along with the Bulldogs decorates my office.
Cobb was named by his father for the city of Tyre which is an ancient Phonecian City that was repeatedly conqured but never the less-- never simply surrendered no matter the size of the conquering force. The City of Tyre and Cobb are both Cold Blooded Sausage Makers. Patton did idolize Cobb because real recognizes real, son.
I had a minor in History and wrote a 32 page paper on Cobb my Junior year. We were asked to pick one person in American History that still affects us today. I wrote about the Detroit Tigers strike in protest of Cobb's suspension and how Kennesaw Mountain Landis the most hardcore commish in MLB history caved to the players. The first true and successful strike of a major sport's players.
Samdizl is our baseball writer and has been out of commission for a while now. However, ask and ye shall receive. I will get a post up about Cobb in the next couple of days.
Cobb also stabbed a dude on the skreet here in Augusta when he tried to rob Cobb. So see there is nothing new under the sun; Cobb was stabbin' punks on the streets in Georgia long before Ray Lewis.ReplyDelete
I'm predicting 2011 will be different than 2010! ;-PReplyDelete

Thanks for the consideration for the Ty Cobb posts.
As you said, real recognizes real and Cobb was after all... The greatest ball player of all time.

College Hockey:Harvard Earns First ECACHL Win, Topping Colgate 4-1
HAMILTON, N.Y. — Every journey begins with the first step, and after four straight league losses the Harvard Crimson (2-4-0, 1-4-0 ECACHL) finally took that first step towards defending their two straight ECACHL titles with their first league victory. The Crimson ousted the Colgate Raiders (3-6-2, 0-3-1) 4-1 Saturday evening, which leaves Colgate still in search of its own first league win.
"To be honest, we're pretty tired. This was not our best game," remarked Crimson head coach Ted Donato, now in his third season behind the bench. He thought that his team played as if it were physically and emotionally drained. "We were not sharp all around, but we didn't give up much. The team defended well but the execution wasn't there."
14-year veteran head coach Don Vaughan said of his own team, "We're not playing good hockey right now. We're in a rut."
The Raiders have played several disappointing games in a row which they had hoped to put behind them with a victory against the Crimson.
Starting in goal for the Raiders for the first time was the Freshman Charles Long, who gave regular starting goaltender Mark Dekanich a rest after a shaky showing in Colgate's 6-3 loss to Dartmouth the night before. Long played solidly between the pipes, making 37 saves. Coach Donato said that he had intended to rotate his goaltenders, and particularly after the previous night's 3-2 loss to Cornell, Donato gave Justin Tobe the nod. Tobe ended up with 18 saves by the end of the evening.
"He played great. He played the puck well, wasn't too aggressive. Couldn't ask for more," assessed Crimson captain Dylan Reese of his goaltender's play. "Coach Jay said to me after the Justin handled the first shot of the game, 'He's on!' and from that point we could witness how confident he was," added Coach Donato about Tobe.
After killing off a slew of penalties in the first half of the opening period, including a 5-on-3 advantage, the Crimson countered with a number of power plays of its own and the game's first goal. On a two-man advantage, Doug Rogers wristed a shot from the high slot that Long was able to get his glove on but not catch. The puck bounced behind him right onto the tape of Mike Taylor standing on the doorstep who one-timed home his second goal of the season.
The Raiders responded three minutes later, on what Coach Donato termed a "freak goal." Jesse Winchester crossed the blue-line wristing the puck towards the net. The puck deflected off a Crimson defender and through Tobe, knotting the score at one off Winchester's first goal of the season.
The scoring lulled until midway through the second. Dave Watters stripped the puck from a Raider attempting to break out of the defensive zone. Watters threw the puck at the net and missed wide, but the puck ricocheted off the boards behind the net and came out to Jimmy Fraser on the opposite post. Fraser beat Long low glove side for his second goal of the season.
Harvard then secured its lead in the third period. Almost seven minutes in, Fraser took a shot towards the net that missed and bounced off the back-boards with such force that it came all the way out to the right point to J.D. McCabe. McCade one-timed a shot that fluttered end-over-end top shelf past Long's glove. Long may not have seen the shot, or if he did, was fooled by its off speed. It was McCabe's first collegiate goal in his 22 games played for the Crimson.
To cap off the scoring, the Crimson took advantage of a 5-on-3 opportunity to put Colgate away. The Raiders caught a bad break as two of their players simultaneously received minor penalties — Peter Bogdanich for holding the stick and Mark Anderson for hooking — at 11:46 in the third. After working the puck around the perimeter, Brian McCafferty found defensive partner Reese wide open at the top of the slot.
Reese let go a slapshot that was buried low glove side for his third goal of the season and to seal the deal for Harvard. Of the simultaneous penalties, all Vaughan had to comment was that both were deserved. "That's the way they're calling the game," he said, "and it was the result of them not moving their feet. We deserved them both."
Vaughan felt that his penalty-killing unit played well overall, only allowing two 5-on-3 goals. His power play unit was a different matter. "It's nonexistent at the moment," Vaughan said. The Raiders finished the game 0 for 9 on the power play. "In nine opportunities we didn't have ten shots on goal…if you don't put more than a shot on goal per power play you're not going to score very much," said Vaughan in a disgusted manner.
The Raiders' captain, Liam Huculak, had this to say after the game about his team's effort, "We didn't work the way we should have. It was disappointing. We have to outwork the other team." When asked how the Raiders could turn their fortunes around, he said, "We need to move past [games like these]. We shouldn't forget about how awful it feels, but keep it in the back of our minds because we don't want to feel that way any more."
Colgate will try once more to earn its first league win as the team hits the road to play Quinnipiac, Friday November 17th at 7 p.m., and Princeton, Saturday November 18th at 7 p.m. Harvard looks to expand upon its first league win as the it hosts Brown November 17th at 7 p.m. and Yale November 18th at 8 p.m.

College Hockey:Hey Abbott! UNH Forward Nets Two to Send Team to Frozen Four
Cornell Extends No. 1 Wildcats to Wire Before Falling
WORCESTER, Mass. — The saying on the T-shirt reads, 'Offense wins games but defense wins championships.'
New Hampshire, the nation's No. 1 team, was tested by Cornell, the best defense in the nation Sunday, and learned it has a pretty good defense itself.
The Big Red dictated the style of play over the final two periods, but UNH is back in the Frozen Four, breaking a 3-3 tie with 2:39 left in the game on a shot by Jim Abbott through a screen for the 4-3 victory at the NCAA East Regional in front of 11,888 at the Worcester Centrum.
"We are just really thrilled with the outcome," said UNH coach Dick Umille. "It was a back-and-forth game. Cornell cut down on our shots in the second period, and we're just excited we pulled it out."
Abbott, with only seven goals all season, was an unlikely hero on a squad that features a 74-point and a 64-point scorer in Darren Haydar and Colin Hemingway. The 6-foot-1-inch junior from Mars, Penn., netted the first and last goals of the night for UNH; the Wildcats never lost when he beats the goaltender.
"I just pulled the puck out of the corner and [forward Patrick] Foley set such a big screen for me, I just shot it low," Abbott said. "He set such a big screen I never saw the puck go in the net.
"I'm just so excited that I was able to score the goal. I thought the goal I scored last week against Maine was big, but this is definitely the biggest goal I've scored."
After a wide-open first period, UNH led 3-2, but the Big Red began to slow the play down and establish its physical game that held opponents to 1.76 goals against this year. Cornell outshot the Wildcats 6-4 in the second period and finally managed to tie the game at 13:27 of the third. Shane Palahicky batted a rebound that bounced off Wildcat goalie Matt Carney and in the net.
"The first period was New Hampshire hockey," said Cornell senior defenseman Doug Murray. "In the second we came out and got back to what we discussed before the game. We didn't turn the puck over, got it deep and got back to the way we wanted to play when the game started."
After Palahicky's goal, the Big Red had the Wildcats on the ropes and primed for a major upset that would have sent the first Ivy League school to the Frozen Four since Harvard in 1993-94.
"Our guys got better as the game progressed," said Cornell coach Mike Schafer. "We have a lot of pride in our team and it's unfortunate they made the play at the end of the game. We showed people why we won the regular-season title."
Still, the strong showing was bittersweet for the Big Red.
"I'm extremely disappointed," Murray said. "You play hockey for such a long time and you want to win — I'm not satisfied with any moral victories. Our team got more respect by [getting an at-large bid] than playing a good game against UNH."
The Wildcats did most of their damage in the first period, when an unusually undisciplined Cornell gave them three power plays, including a two-man advantage. Hemingway netted two with the man-up, off assists by Haydar and Collins.
"Colin played great and he deserves a lot more credit than he's gotten," said Haydar, a Hobey Baker favorite. "Over the second half of the season, Hemingway has outdone me."
UNH needed its power play, the best in the nation, to perform early because once the Big Red righted its ship, it became almost impossible to threaten goalie Matt Underhill. Underhill made 20 saves in his final college game; Carney stopped 15.
Stephen Baby and Sam Paolini scored the Big Red's first-period goals, at 4:32 and 5:28, respectively, to give Cornell a brief 2-1 lead.
"We were playing the top defensive team in the country and we knew that we couldn't get frustrated," Haydar said. "We didn't expect to blow them out and we were surprised that we had a 3-2 lead after one. We figured that would be the final score."
With the victory, New Hampshire advances to the Frozen Four for the first time since 1999 with the opportunity to extract a little revenge against Hockey East rival Maine, which eliminated the Wildcats in the championship game that year.
"I look forward to [the team's fifth meeting against Maine]," Haydar said. "They put us out my freshman year and I'm going to get our team as prepared as possible to make sure that doesn't happen again."
By advancing to the second round, Cornell equaled its NCAA performance of 1997, its last appearance. The Big Red last reached the Final Four in 1980, and won the national championship in 1970. New Hampshire is gunning for its first-ever NCAA title and with Denver eliminated, is now the only No. 1 regional seed left in the tournament.
Notes: Though the crowd of 11,888 fell short of the Centrum Centre's capacity of 12,517, it set a new record for one-day regional attendance in the NCAA tournament. In addition, the two-day total of 22,433 eclipsed last year's record of 20,721, also set at the Centrum in 2001.

DC Adventures will consist of 4 full color books, with art from top comic book artists. The first book Hero's handbook will be released in August. The first volume of Heroes and Villians will follow this fall with the remaining two installments, Heroes and Villians Volume 2 and DC Adventures: Universe, coming out in 2011.

The ace pitcher on the 2009 Seward and Bee Jay baseball teams Bobby Doran put it all together Saturday night in Lubbock. The 6'6" 240 pound right hander from Flower Mound, Texas struck out 16 in eight and one third innings in Texas Tech's 5-4 win over Missouri Saturday night. His 16 K's were just two shy of the Red Raider record. Collegiate Baseball named him the pitcher of the week. Doran pitched for the 2009 Liberal Bee Jays and the 2008 and 2009 Seward County Saints. Doran is 4-2 with a 4.70 E.R.A. this season for the Red Raiders. He has 73 strikeouts and 18 walks in 69 innings pitched.

On Friday, February 7th, the five candidates running for election in Travis County this spring participated in a forum that focused on environmental issues facing the county. The event took place at The Vortex Theater on Manor Road in Austin. The forum was sponsored by Austin Eco Network, Save Barton Creek Association and the SEED Coalition and was moderated by Reed Sternberg of the Texas Green Network.
The format for the evening consisted of two forty five minute sessions during which the candidates were allowed to present opening statements, answer questions provided by several Central Texas environmental organizations and conclude with a personal statement. All comments were timed and proceeded in round robin fashion.
The organizations and their related questions were:
- Austin Eco Network: vetting proposals for their environmental impact
- Sierra Club: position on an untolled, non-elevated option for the Y in Oak Hill
- Sustainable Food Center: position on local, urban and organic farming
- Central Texas Zero Waste Alliance: how to regionalize zero waste initiatives
- People Organized in Defense of Earth and her Resources: community preparedness and responses to flooding events
- Environment Texas: fracking in Bastrop and Lee counties and the current loophole leading to exemption from federal regulations
- Climate Change Now Initiative: addressing climate change impacts
- Design, Build, Live: encouraging rain water harvesting, use of gray water and increase recycling
The first session for the evening included the three candidates vying for the position of County Commissioner in Precinct 2. These candidates are Richard Jung, Brigid Shea and Garry Brown. Although all tended to agree on basic environmental positions regarding transportation, water supplies and wildfire prevention, each brings a unique perspective to their candidacy.
- Garry Brown is currently Public Relations Director for County Constable Sally Hernandez. He has served as Chief of Staff for County Commissioner Karen Huber, as a congressional aide to Congressman Lloyd Doggett and as Assistant Director of the Travis County Democratic Party. He has also worked in Washington DC with the Human Rights Campaign and would be the first openly LGBTQ County Commissioner.
- Brigid Shea is a well known name in local politics. She served on the Austin City Council from 1993-1996 and is a co-founder of Save Our Springs. She is an adviser to LCRA and Green Mountain Energy among others. Ms. Shea also made an unsuccessful bid for Austin mayor in a recent election.
- Richard Jung brings a fresh perspective to politics as this is his first attempt at public office. He was born in South Korea and arrived in the United States at age 8. He is a lawyer with a small practice that specializes in immigration law and is a member of the Austin Sustainable Development Committee.
The second half of the evening brought us the two candidates for the position of Travis County Judge, replacing the retiring Sam Biscoe. These two individuals are Sarah Eckhardt and Andy Brown. Again, both candidates tended to be in agreement regarding the basic issues but differed in how to implement ideas and initiatives. Ms. Eckhardt was more detail oriented with specific ideas and methods while Mr. Brown referenced San Antonio and Denver as examples of good environmental policy but did not expand upon the reasons for this. Again, each candidate brings a unique perspective and background to the race:
- Sarah Eckhardt has over 15 years of public service to her credit including working in the County Attorney's office and serving as a County Commissioner. She was elected to that position in 2006 and stepped down last spring to begin her campaign for County Judge. Ms. Eckhardt is also Vice Chair of CAMPO.
- Andy Brown is an attorney who has spent the past five years as Chair of the Travis County Democratic Party. He worked with USAID in Honduras and was also a political organizer in Chile before returning to Austin.
In conclusion, this was a very informative evening and was well organized and moderated. It is too bad, however, that the crowd was very small and most in the audience were connected in some way with the candidates. It is not clear whether a bigger venue or more publicity would have changed the outcome but voters need to be well informed in their decisions and events such as this are vital. The evening was video taped but information was not provided as to where and when it would be broadcast.

The Big Sleep
by Raymond Chandler
The Big Sleep Chapter 5 Summary
- Marlowe goes to a phone booth to call Geiger but there's no answer. Big surprise.
- So he decides to check out other bookstores near Geiger's store and finds one run by a dark-haired woman wearing glasses.
- Marlowe asks her the same questions he asked the girl at Geiger's shop, but this time, the woman knows the answers. She catches on that Marlowe is asking a trick question because the book he wants doesn't exist.
- She gives up the goods, and Marlowe gets a physical description of Geiger from the woman.
- As Marlowe leaves the bookstore, it starts to rain. He opens the package he'd been holding. It's exactly what he thought it would be: pornography.
- Geiger's racket is obvious by now. The guy loans out pornographic books from the back room of his store, fronting the whole operation as a rare bookstore.

Setting the standard for global excellence, rewarding those who strive for perfection and spurring arrivals growth and destination competitiveness, the 2014 edition of the Lilizela Awards is taking place in September.
Entries are now open for the 2014 Lilizela Tourism Awards, the premier tourism award programme for businesses in South Africa that aim to reward and celebrate excellence across the tourism industry. Lilizela is a Nguni word which means to ululate: an act of congratulations when someone has done something well.
"Following on the highly successful 2013 Awards programme, with over 400 people attending the final National Awards Gala Dinner on the 12 September 2013, the 2014 campaign culminating in the prestigious awards promises to be even more vibrant and even more inclusive," said Mr Thulani Nzima, Chief Executive Officer at South African Tourism.
"Lilizela is a name that truly distinguishes these uniquely African awards from the mainstream. These Awards recognise and reward tourism players and businesses who work passionately and with pride to deliver a world class product and service and whose delivery grows South Africa's global destination competitiveness."
The 2014 Lilizela Awards will recognise industry players within 4 Focus Areas reflecting 8 Categories with the 9th Category being the Minister's Award.
1. Focus Area and Category – The Minister's Award
Recognises outstanding, unique, impactful people, events, organisations that have performed in a manner that urges the industry closer to tourism's 2020 vision (to grow arrivals to 15 million and create 225 000 new jobs by 2020 with a total direct and indirect GDP contribution target from R189, 4 billion (2009) to R499 billion (2020).
2. Focus Area: Service Excellence
This Focus Area has three Categories, and how well tourism products do this area, will, to a very large degree, be based on guest feedback. Measurements have been put in place to allow the public to cast their vote.
The Accommodation sector was the only one recognised during the first year of the awards. This year, Visitor Experience of the Year as well as the Tourist Guide of the Year have been added and will also be recognised.
Visitor Experiences will include Scenic Beauty, Roots and Culture, Adventure and Activities, Wildlife, Lifestyle, Beach Experience and Lap of Luxury.
Tourist Guides will include Nature Guides, Adventure Guides and Culture Guides.
3. Focus Area and Category: Entrepreneurship
The ETEYA Lilizela Award (Emerging Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year Award) recognises black owned SMME's who have achieved notable success since starting up.
4. Focus Area: Sustainable Development
This focus area includes three categories – Imvelo, Universal Accessibility as well as BBB-EE. The Imvelo Awards include: Best Social Involvement Programme, Best Practice Economic Impact, Best Overall Environment Management System and Best Single-Resource Programme (Water, Energy and Waste).
To achieve transformation in the tourism sector and to encourage enterprises to view B-BBEE as a business imperative, a part of good corporate citizenship and good governance and as a contribution towards socioeconomic cohesion, BBEE Awards recognising Exempted Micro Enterprises, Qualifying Small Enterprises as well as Large Enterprises will be up for grabs.
"It is important for people to remember that entries for the awards are free but businesses need to comply with certain requirements before their application will be accepted. We encourage everyone to visit the official website to get all the information they need and to watch out for the announcement of critical dates. Entries close on the 30 May 2014 and tourist can vote for their favourite establishment at any time between now and then," adds Nzima.
The overall winners from each category will be announced at a ceremony in September this year. This will be preceded by Provincial recognition awards to be handed out at various provincial events building towards the main event. People and organisations interested in entering as requested to look out for further communication from the various Provincial Tourism Authorities, who will be driving the entries for these prestigious awards at a provincial level and will be engaging directly with all their key provincial stakeholders.

To whom this may concern
Having a "guide-of-the-year" award is as fake as a gold watch in a china mall.. It is in NO way possible to award only one person, as we all do our thing to promote SA, its people, and to give our guests the BEST experience Southern Africa has on offer.
I hereby have to say.. To put myself up as a candidate (I see myself as the best tourist guide, as I do my job with love and with all the energy within me), will also be fake as I am sure that 99% of all my colleague's do their job with the same energy as myself!
Therefore... I shall NOT be part of this doing.
Kind regards

"Orange is the New Black," the surprise runaway hit from Netflix, is coming back on June 6, when the complete second season will be released. Until then, they've released a teaser trailer for fans to get a quick shot of the show that they're missing. Unlike network and cable TV, Netflix releases a complete season of a show all at once, allowing the viewer to watch it at their own pace.
According to MSN News on Feb. 15, the clip is only 16 seconds long, but it offers up enough of a glimpse to see that "Orange is the New Black" is bringing back some of the favorites from the show like "Crazy Eyes."
Netflix has the complete "Orange is the New Black" first season available to view if you need to catch up on the prison dwellers' daily lives. You might want to refresh your mind as to where Chapman was as the first season came to a close. That is where Chapman gave her arch-enemy a brutal beating as the prison guard looked the other way.
Netflix has surprised many with this show which is considered HBO, Showtime or AMC worthy. It is great entertainment coming from a plot that was never done before on TV. Life inside a women's prison as seen from the eyes of just a regular gal, one who is not hardened like her peers when she first enters the prison system.
Time in a women's prison has put Chapman in a place where she needs to go with the flow or lose out, so she gets a little bit harder and wiser as each episode progresses. Engaged to a man on the outside, Chapman gets her fair share of romance when her ex-lesbian lover is also behind bars.
Chapman fought the urge at first, but she gives in and the two add some hot and steamy sex into the mix of the day to day activities of prison life. Check out the teaser trailer above if you need a shot of "Orange is the New Black," as it's been a while!

This sweet foster girl is missing, and the family in charge of her care is anxious to bring her home.
Fern, a black lab mix, was picked up as a foster on May 13. You can follow her thread here.
After going missing, Fern was spotted May 20 on Fairview Road headed toward Highway 418 in the Simpsonville, South Carolina area. The girl who saw Fern recognized the dog, and called out to her.
Fern is extremely afraid of people, and immediately retreated to the woods. She has led a hard life, and has the scars to prove it. Fern was last seen on Neely Ferry Road near Glenn Meadows.
Flyers have been put out, and people are urged to share her on Facebook. Please share this article as well, especially with those in the Fountain Inn/Simpsonville area. Contact Stephanie Boone Lasssiter via Facebook if found.

Sauter-Finegan Orchestra: Hit the Road to Dreamland
Hit the Road to Dreamland
The Sauter-Finegan Orchestra
The Best of Sauter-Finegan (Collector's Choice Music CCM 078-2)
Eddie Sauter (leader), Bill Finegan (leader, arranger),
Nick Travis, Joe Ferrante, Bobby Nichols (trumpets), Bill Harris, Vern Friley, Bart Varsalona (trombones), Bill Barber (tuba), Sid Cooper, Joe Palmeri, Al Klink, Charles Albertine, Danny Bank (reeds), Mundell Lowe (guitar), Ralph Burns (piano), Verlye Mills (harp), Trigger Alpert (bass), Don Lamond (drums), John Blowers, Richard Ridgely, Phil Kraus (percussion). Vocals by Joe Mooney and The Doodlers (Sally Sweetland, Lillian Clark, Gene Lowell, Artie Malvin, Steve Steck).
Composed by Johnny Mercer & Harold Arlen. Arranged by Bill Finegan.
Recorded: New York, November 3, 1952
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
This version of the Mercer-Arlen gem is a gem itself, issued as the 'B' side of a single and forgotten until Collector's Choice dug it out of the vault. Eddie and Bill had the pick of the New York musicians' pool on their sessions, and when someone couldn't make a date, there were any number of other excellent players who could fill in. Even the singers were the best in the business: Sweetland had been a busy vocal dubber in Hollywood, Lillian Clark was a member of the Clark Sisters and Mrs. Sy Oliver, Malvin and Steck were members of Glenn Miller's AAF Orchestra during the war. Mooney's participation was icing on the cake; Bill's first wife Kay was a big fan of the pianist/accordionist/arranger/singer, and would manage him during the mid-'60s.
The arrangement is clearly Finegan, as he seemed to immerse himself in the manifold colors of the band more than Sauter (most of the time anyway). Amidst the imitation of bells by the singers and a lot of woodwind and percussion colors, the intro ends and the band swings in medium tempo. The singers take over in continued hip fashion; one nice touch occurs when Mooney sings ".... in the land of Nod," and the singers fire back, "and Wynken and Blynken," not part of the original lyric. After the vocal, almost the entire first part of the record repeats, returning to the bell imitation. The singers return speaking "Sleep?.....Sleep" with a run on the celeste in the background. The record is clever without being gimmicky, welcome sounds in the morass of the pop music of the early '50s.

I was tasting this morning with Yannick Doyard in Vertus, and while we were working our way through his current range of outstanding champagnes, he talked about how he's come to reevaluate his ideas about pressing.
In Champagne, a traditional press holds 4,000 kilograms of grapes, a fixed quantity called a marc. One marc yields precisely 2,550 liters of juice, fractioned into two categories: the first 2,050 liters is called the cuvée, and is considered to be the finest portion; the last 500 liters is called the taille, and while it's legal to use this for making champagne, some houses choose to use it and others don't. (A third category pressed after the initial 2,550 liters, called the rebêche, cannot be used for champagne, and must be sent to the distillery.) Historically, Champenois barriques have been 205 liters in size, so that the cuvée from one marc equals exactly ten barrels.
Pressing in Champagne is a long and laborious process, and the pressing of one marc takes around four hours from beginning to end. (Having observed this firsthand during the harvest a few months ago, I can personally attest to how boring this is to watch.) Each marc goes through multiple pressings, or serres. In each serre, the press comes down, squeezing out some juice and compacting all of the grapes into a big cake, and then that cake has to be separated and fluffed up in a process called the retrousse (as seen in this photo, taken at René Geoffroy), readying the grapes to be pressed again. This process is repeated several times: the cuvée itself involves the first three serres, and the serre after that is used for the taille.
Like many other top-quality growers, Doyard keeps only the cuvée for his champagnes and sells all of his taille to the négoce. However, he breaks these two distinctions down even further, and in reality he doesn't even think anymore in terms of cuvée and taille. Doyard believes that the creation of the traditional measurement of 2,050 liters was based simply on the logistics of having a 205-liter barrel, and had nothing to do with making better wine. "It was a mathematical decision," he says, "not a qualitative one." Now, he separates the serres instead, keeping only the first two for his vintage wines. "I've seen a significant qualitative difference between the first two serres and the third," he says, "so now I always vinify the third serre separately." In fact, for a new wine that he's begun to make in 2008, called the Clos de l'Abbaye, he used only the first serre, meaning that his 50-are parcel in the Clos ultimately yielded just four barrels of wine.
Doyard admits that it's easier to be this exacting when you work in small quantities, and especially when you vinify in wood. "It's a big advantage to work with small barrels," he says. "If you work in a traditional winery with lots of tanks, imagine how difficult and expensive it would be to keep track of all of these separate little things."

When he vinifies the third serre, what does he do with the resulting wine? Does it go into a non vintage?
I continue to love and turn people on to your blog, thank you.

Thanks, Jesse.
Yes, Doyard potentially incorporates the third serre into his non-vintage blend. The fourth serre is taille, and is never used.
