I recently facilitated and sat in on a number of DataQs at the ATA Safety & Loss Prevention Management Council meetings in Kansas City. There were lots of valuable ideas and thoughts shared there, and I wanted to summarize the key points I took away from the meetings.Be selective with DataQs
It looks like CSA is going to be around for a while, and one of the best ways to protect your company is to make sure that violations are true and correct. Using the Data Q system can be an option in some cases. Timeliness is one of your best tools. Make sure you are monitoring your portal and are being informed whenever there is an occurrence. P.S. - Did you know that you can get an actual copy of the inspection report via Data Q?This article originally appeared on the HNI blog. Used with permission.

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Fort Morgan, Alabama

The Perfect Family Beach Vacation Home!!
October 17, 2014
We absolutely love coming here every year and have for several years now. It is perfect for us! The layout of the house and how well it is furnished with everything you need, the fishing piers with lights, the crab traps, and cleaning station meets our every need! This trip we had fresh crabs two nights and caught enough fish for another night. My grands just loved it especially helping catch the fish. My grandson cried to stay and I almost did! We also had our grand daughters sixth birhday party there this time. Great memories Thanks to Les and Doris for sharing their wonderful home! Hope to be back soon!

If your looking for a place that's loud full of teenagers and parting, this my friend is not for you !! On the other hand if you enjoy peace beautiful sunsets fishing crabbing and relaxing on a porch that you can enjoy your favorite beverage on while waiting to check crab traps for dinner. This would be fore you. Our stay was very nice ! Kitchen greatly stocked owners were very nice to work with . Dolphins playful from the deck, crabs in the cages and fish on the hooks . Steps were tough on me for the first two days. But hey I'm in better shape now !! Lol. Only down fall on this place is that time somehow speeds up here. Seems like it's 5 o clock to fast here Enjoyed our stay and hate to leave Lisa and Greg Edmonds

Great time! Needs a little repair
August 28, 2013
We had a lot of fun staying at this bay front house with our family. Pros: kitchen is well stocked, plenty of sleeping space, docks for fishing and crabbing, plenty of parking under the house, decking around the house was wonderful, pets were excepted with a fee. Area was quiet and restful, beds were comfy. Cons: house is in bad need of repair in certains areas, tiles on floor were crumbling under our feet in several areas. If the rugs were not place in those areas, we could have cut our feet. Not very many tv's, and all were set to one receiver, wall paper peeling in bathrooms, mold under faucets in showers, sliding doors are rusting and some won't open, plumbing issues, shower water leaks out of plumbing onto the carport floor under the house. We still had fun though! Fort Morgan is very quiet. It's far from major grocery store chains, so convenience stores nearby are pricey. The owner gave us a great rate on the house and we truly appreciate that.

Perfect Family Getaway!
August 1, 2013
Everything about this property is described perfectly and there is nothing else we could have possible wanted for. It was excellent for our yearly family vaca and we will be returning as we are now spoiled by the owners, who by the way, are wonderful to deal with!! The dock and crab traps were a hit for the kids with more blue crab and speckled trout caught than we knew what to do with ... even a few stone crabs for an extra treat! There was a small private beach area on the property which was perfect for use of the provided kayak or a late night beach fire to roast s'mores for the kids and look at countless stars. The sunsets from the wrap around deck were amazing, or you could enjoy them from the yard which had 2 huge picnic tables and an over-sized grill to cook today's catch. The Gulf was only a 5 minute walk and was gorgeous. We staked off our little area of sand and it was ours for the week as the area is secluded enough to leave your tent, toys and chairs right there and not have to drag them back and forth! If you're looking for a touristy vacation with mini-golf and high rises ... this is not the place for you, but if you want a wonderful home to relax and enjoy quality time with your family ... it couldn't be more perfect!

This home was just perfect for our yearly get-away. The dogs loved running around the deck & could watch all the birds. Fishing from the pier was just a walk off the deck. Plenty of bedrooms & the kitchen was so stocked, couldn't expect more. We had 18 days to walk the beach, read, and watch the beautiful sunsets!!!! The sunrises (should you get up that early) were also wonderful. Thanks for the memories. The Schapers Portage, Wisconsin

The PGA Tour season kicks off this week, and the first stop of the 2014-2015 season is the North Course at the Silverado Resort and Spa for the Frys.com Open. Hosting the event for the first time, the North Course has recently been renovated and lengthened to 7,203 yards to provide a stern test for the best players in the world.
While most of the field is seeing the course for the first time, many players agree that driving the golf ball well will be the key to success.
"I think it's important to hit it in the fairway because of the type of grasses and the rough. It's going to be difficult to control your ball out of the rough." Said Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Lee Westwood. "It's a very nice golf course to play and will be very challenging"
Titleist Brand Ambassador Tim Clark agrees with Lee's sentiments.
"It's a great golf course... it's going to reward good play, and if you struggle you're going to see that in the scores, too. It's a tough driving course and for me I feel like there's some really narrow holes out there"
To play well this week and get off to a fast start to the season, players will have to trust their their games, and their equipment.
Fast Fact: The last three Frys.com Open Champions have been Titleist golf ball loyalists. Bryce Molder (2011), Jonas Blixt (2012) and Jimmy Walker (2013)
BY THE NUMBERS: 2014 Frys.com Open
Titleist is the overwhelming golf ball of choice with 92 players in the field trusting a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success. That's more than five times the nearest competitor with 17 and more than all competitors combined.
Titleist was also the top choice among players in the irons (39) and sand, lob and approach wedge (148) and putter (57) categories.
Titleist Brand Ambassador Jimmy Walker splits the 4th fairway with his 915F fairway metal. Jimmy kicked off a remarkable 3-win campaign last season with his victory at the 2013 Frys.com Open.
Titleist Brand Ambassador Bryce Molder, the 2011 Frys.com Open champion, has his sights set on another fast start to kick off his 2014/2015 PGA TOUR season.
Pro V1x loyalist Lee Westwood lofts a delicate chip onto the 5th green at Silverado CC.
Titleist Brand Ambassador Tim Clark went flag hunting with this CB iron approach at the 6th hole during second round action.
Jonas Blixt, the 2012 Frys.com Open champion puts a pure roll on his Pro V1x golf ball at the 16th hole at Silverado.

"How do you test a golf ball?"
It's a fairly straightforward question but as you can imagine, when your focus is designing and developing the #1 ball in golf there are countless paths and roads that the journey to finding the answer will take. However, the one constant is that this journey always starts with the golfer.
And our player research team is on the front lines of this mission each and every day. From traveling around the globe to test prototypes with golfers of every skill level to hitting thousands of golf balls to record launch conditions, this team plays a critical role in the golf ball R&D process.
Collecting the launch condition data and working with golfers to understand how they are approaching impact is essential to developing the tests that will help guide product development.
"Whatever launch condition we achieved with the players we want to try and replicate that with a robot," said Product Testing Manager Rich Daprato.
"Because of the repeatability of the robot we can test large amounts of samples and get real tight data groups."
Armed with the data, the robots get to work on specific tests but then the journey comes back full circle as product validation is only achieved after extensive player testing.
"We want to know who you are and why you love the game and how we can make products that perform best for you," said Player Research Supervisor Karen Gray.
So how do you a test a golf ball?
It's a long process that involves a lot of people and best-in-class technology but most importantly, it begins and ends with the golfer.
The "low checker," the "skipper" or the "one hop and stop shot" – it has many names and it's one shot that just about every golfer would love to add to their short game arsenal.
Seeing a ball stop on a dime next to the pin is a thrill every golfer wants to experience, and with the help of Titleist Staff Professional James Sieckmann, we can all learn how to hit this shot.
James' keys to keeping the ball low, with a lot of spin in order to maximize control.
>> Keep the hands close to the body with a lot of hinge on the take-away.
>> Stay on top of the ball during the backswing.
>> Shift your weight towards the target on the down swing.
Take these tips to the practice range and check out the entire collection of 18 Shots videos by clicking on the image below.

We continue our exploration of the new technology and benefits featured in the 915 family of metals with a closer look at the Radial Speed Face design. We went behind the scenes to ask the experts and here is what they had to say…
Working in combination with the Active Recoil Channel, the Radial Speed Face increases ball speed on off-center hits for more distance and more consistent speeds across the clubface.
The high-speed, variable thickness face insert has a central thick portion, but is thinner and organically tapered as you move out from center. During the development of 915, Titleist R&D identified specific areas on the face insert, particularly in the heel and toe, which could be thinned further to increase performance on off-center hits.
"Active Recoil Channel and the Radial Speed Face are two technologies that really work well together," said Dan Stone, Vice President of Research and Development, Titleist Golf Clubs. "ARC does an excellent job increasing ball speeds overall, however, its biggest effect happens low on the club face where the channel is positioned. As you move off center and mishit heel or toe, that's where the Radial Speed Face insert kicks in –you're getting more flex in those areas which helps generate more speed.
"The speed consistency on heel and toe hits is one of the first things Tour players are noticing. They don't hit it off-center too often, but when they do it's often a pressure situation when they need forgiveness the most."
Titleist Pro V1x golf ball loyalist Mirim Lee won the second title of her rookie LPGA Tour season, firing a final round 5-under 69 to capture the Reignwood Classic by two shots with a 15-under-par 277 victory total.
Titleist Pro V1x golf ball loyalist Steve Lewton captured the Mercuries Taiwan Masters for his first Asian Tour title. Lewton closed with a 1-under-par 71 en route to a 5-under-par 283 victory total, two shots clear of his two nearest competitors.
At the Arturo Calle Colombian Classic, Titleist Pro V1x Loyalist Nicholas Lindheim shot a final round 67, his third consecutive bogey-free round of the tournament, leading to a 19-under-par 269 victory total.
With another three wins this week, Titleist's year-to-date victory count advances to 140. That's more than four times the nearest competitor with 32 and more than all competitors combined.
In total, 19,783 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in competition on the 2014 worldwide professional tours, nearly six times the nearest competitor with 3,285 and more than all competitors combined.

Review this movie
Jan 16, 2012Natalie Portman and Lisa Kudrow give fantastic performances, but sadly they are featured in a terrible dramatically uneven awkward film that won't get them noticed anytime soon. I give this film 28%.
Oct 22, 2011Ridiculously over-dramatic, almost to the point of being the 21st century's "Mommy Dearest". Stepmom would be a very slight step better than this one.
Oct 2, 2011I know one very similar to this movie and much better too, called "Stepmom" with Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon and Ed Harris. The truth is that this drama (call it the novel would be too absurd) can have the most unsympathetic characters possible. Natalie Portman strives to give credibility to Emily, but the abuse of recurring return to the premature death of the daughter is the actress crippling any attempt to make her character more three-dimensional! Nevertheless, it is the best on the scene because her husband apparently indifferent and soothing, the conflicted ex-wife and the son verbally aggressive and nasty drawback is sufficient reason to abandon that Emily left the life in the midst of that family. It's a tearjerker poorly done and most obvious example of this is the final 30 minutes to extend into dialogue with another party of Emily solving not only the loose ends of the film as a whole, but of her life, as if only a simple conversation could unlock and enter the core of the personality and feelings.… Collapse
The Other Woman earns a viewer's respect for the grace notes that director-screenwriter Don Roos finds beneath these familiar tunes, for the unassertive skill with which he paints upper-class life on the Upper East Side, and for the rightness of the performances.
It becomes a parade of interpersonal conflict and miserable circumstances that adds up to nothing less than angst-porn.
Natalie Portman may have the black swan and the white swan down, but she's still working on the gray.

Chelsea Handler: Not a Fan of Angelina Jolieby Hilton Hater at . Comments
This just in: Chelsea Handler doesn't like Angelina Jolie.
In case that wasn't apparent when the E! host referred to the actress as a %$&*, Handler reiterated this stance in an interview with Katie Couric, published in this month's Glamour:
"I'm not a fan," Chelsea says of Angelina. "She just doesn't come off to me as a sincere woman. She seems like a woman that you'd really want to avoid."
Elsewhere in the article, Handler touches on rumors that she's dating 50 Cent, her affection for Jennifer Aniston and more. Excerpts are below.On career aspirations: I definitely want to move on and do something bigger, expand my horizons. Talking about celebrity every day can just fry your brain. I want to be able to talk about politics, I want to be able to talk about sports, I want to be able to talk about life paths, not just celebrity driven.
On Aniston: Jennifer Aniston makes me laugh. She's irreverent and hilarious, and she sends me really, really funny e-mails.
Is she dating 50 Cent? He came to my show in New Orleans with 15 people, and they take a photo of us and assume that we're a couple. But he's really cute, and I have to be honest, there's a good chance that I will end up hooking up with a rapper at some point.
Chelsea Handler will never be able to "expand her horizons" if she is determined to start obsessing over Angelina Jolie.
That is BS. No one even knew she was helping people in highly dangerous areas of Africa. She has visited UNHCR refugee operations in the Balkans, Sierra Leone, Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya, Cambodia, Thailand, and Pakistan in addition to Ecuador until the media got hold of it. She uses her own personal money to fund these trips, earned her pilots license to take over needed supplies and has done this when she was pregnant. This is something she does because she wants to and for her own reasons not for the industry. She has been doing it for years and before she even adopted Maddox. I don't see Chelsea Handler getting off her a$$ and helping people like that and putting herself at risk for others. I just see her being a b*&%$ and flapping her gums a lot. I hate it when people are ignorant and talk out their a$$ about someone when they have no clue what they do.
I agree with Handler. I always feel there is an agenda with Ange. Maybe in real life this ain't so, but in tabloid world she comes off as a phony

The Lonesome Electric Chicken is a time and life wasting application that spews forth a gathering of quotations. That's it. Don't look any farther into it than that.
Currently there are only about 70 quotes in the chicken pile. These are quotations that appeal to me personally, and may not jive with your own individual tastes. Some folks may enjoy them, others will most assuredly not. The Lonesome Electric Chicken is not intended to be a spiritually or morally uplifting application, although you may find it to be so anyway.

Jeff Garneau | Send Email | Subscribe to My Sommelier Service
Jeff has been a member of the sales staff in our Redwood City store for the past four years. His first introduction to wine was as a waiter in an upscale Italian restaurant in Hanover, NH more years ago than he likes to admit. He slowly made his way west to wine country, working his way across the US as a graduate student in geography, a public sector researcher in regional economic development, and briefly, in the wake of the Anderson-Enron scandal, a records management coordinator for one of the remaining Big Five accounting firms. Finally, surrendering to the inevitable, he accepted a position in the wine business here at K&L. His goals for the next four years include drinking more wines from Italy and France and trying to limit the number of open bottles on the dinner table on any given night to fewer than six.

2010 Lambuena Crianza Ribera del Duero
Review Date: 5-30-2014
The extension of our Direct Import program to Spain is one of the most exciting things to happen to our Spanish wine selection in years. For the first time we are able to offer small production wines of extraordinary quality at unbelievable prices. Some of the first wines to arrive from the Ribera del Duero region come from Bodegas Lambuena. The best of these in my opinion is the 2010 Lambuena Crianza, a supremely balanced wine that combines a bright, lively character with ample ripeness of fruit. It is a rich, dark, oak-inflected wine that is sure to please a wide range of palates. The 2010 vintage is of such quality that while the wine can be enjoyed now, it will more than reward another 3 to 5 years in the cellar. Currently one of the best $20 reds we have to offer, irrespective of varietal or region of origin.
Price: $19.99
2013 Abbaye Saint Hilaire Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé
Review Date: 5-29-2014
Every spring, the return of clear, blue skies and long, sunny afternoons heralds the start of rosé season. Rosé is the perfect wine to enjoy with a summer meal when you want something more substantial than a white and its just too hot for red. One of the worlds classic rosé wines comes from Provence in southern France. There are a number of different appellations but all produce blends made from Cinsault, Mourvedre, Grenache, and Syrah, among other varietals. One of my favorites is the 2013 Abbaye Saint Hilaire Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé. This is a prestige cuvee made exclusively from their oldest vines, none younger than 25 years old. It is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah, and has that particular combination of ripeness and freshness that I associate with the best of the Provençal rosés. Tons of red fruits here fresh-picked wild raspberry and strawberry notes. Delightfully refreshing and the perfect companion for a lazy summer afternoon.
Price: $13.99
2010 Quinta de Arcoso "Padrao dos Povos" Tras-os-Montes
Review Date: 5-1-2014
We field more and more inquiries every day about the availability of red wines from Portugal. These can be tough to find. If you do find one, it is more likely to be international in style and with no true distinctiveness. From the rugged, isolated hill country in the extreme northeast of Portugal, the 2010 Quinta de Arcoso "Padrao dos Povos" is the real deal. Foot-trodden and tank-aged using traditional methods, this blend of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela and Touriga Franca is medium bodied with bright red fruits and a lively minerality that reflects the largely granitic character of the region's (admittedly poor) soils. Superb regional character and typicity for a mere $15.99.
Price: $15.99
2012 Hanzell "Sebella" Sonoma Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 5-1-2014
One of the most impressive California Chardonnays I have enjoyed in a very long time. The perfect wine for those seeking an alternative to the popular "oaky/buttery" style which characterizes so much domestic Chardonnay. Aging in neutral oak adds texture but not flavor, perfectly complementing the citrus and mineral-driven character of the fruit. What a joy to drink!
Price: $34.99
1986 Haut-Bailly, Graves
Review Date: 4-30-2014
The wines of the '86 vintage were forbiddingly tannic in their youth and very slow to evolve. Closing in on 30 years past the vintage they are really coming into their own. The 1986 Haut Bailly, Pessac-Leognan is certainly a strong candidate for one of the most charming wines of the vintage. The wine has all the hallmarks of a nicely aged claret - fully garnet color, bottle notes of cedar and saddle leather, and a fine coating of tannins on the finish that is the legacy of this long-lived vintage. In addition, however, it also offers a remarkable sweetness of fruit - red currant and cherry. The wine is possessed of a lovely ripeness and a suppleness of texture that became even more evident with additional aeration.
Price: $129.99
2012 Carlos Diaz "Estrela" Ribeira Sacra
Review Date: 3-29-2014
Kudos to the buyer of our Spanish wines, Joe Manekin, for launching a direct import program. So far his hard work has yielded a great lineup of delicious, affordable wines. The 2012 Carlos Diaz "Estrela" Ribeira Sacra is one of the latest. Mostly Mencia, unoaked, and just amazingly good for under $20. A little earthy, a little floral, a little spicy. Bright and lively with good grip. What a find!
Price: $14.99
2011 Jacques Bavard Bourgogne Blanc
Review Date: 1-29-2014
The new whites from Jacques Bavard are some of the best I have tasted from this 2011 vintage. The 2011 Jacques Bavard Bourgogne Blanc was a particular favorite. The fruit is all Puligny with the classic minerality and wonderful drive that defines the appellation. Pure. Expressive. And drinking beautifully right now.
Price: $21.99
2009 Les Allées de Cantemerle, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 11-7-2013
Easily the best $20 Bordeaux in the store. Why? Well, the 2009 vintage was the best since 2005 for wines at the $10 to $20 price point. And Chateau Cantemerle is one of only five Haut Medoc properties that are designated "cru classe", in fact it is a fifth growth. Finally, the quality of the 2009 vintage was such that even second wines like the "Les Allees" really excel. Loads of dark fruit here, blackberry and cassis. Superb Cabernet character. I was shocked by how well this is drinking already. If you really want to get your money's worth, though, tuck this away in the cellar for a few years. You won't regret it.
Price: $19.99
2012 Rickshaw California Pinot Noir
Review Date: 10-31-2013
Our fourth vintage of the very popular Rickshaw Pinot Noir and certainly their best yet. Plenty of ripe red fruits here - cranberry and rhubarb, pomegranate and cherry. Nicely integrated oak adds a bit of spice and a hint of cocoa. A fine effort and a superb value.
Top Value!
Price: $14.99
2004 Peyrabon, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 10-31-2013
This value priced Haut Médoc comes from a property that literally sits astride the border with Pauillac (seven contiguous hectares actually fall within the Pauillac appellation with the wine sold as La Fleur Peyrabon, Pauillac). This is, quite frankly, astonishingly good. The wine is just beginning to show hints of some bottle age. While still deeply colored, youthful purple is beginning to give way to garnet at the rim. There is a hint of cedar on the nose. On the palate loads of ripe dark fruit - bright, tart blackberry and sweet black plum. Well-integrated oak adds complexity and spice. Smooth-textured, rich and round with fine tannins. Ready to drink. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc.
Price: $19.99
2005 Island Distillery (Ledaig) 7 Year Old K&L Exclusive "Exclusive Malts" Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 10-8-2013
No, I don't know who made it so don't ask me. What I can tell you is this. This whiskey is the perfect reply to all those who think that "older is better". This is a brash, youthful, impetuous effort, still redolent with the grassy, floral notes of the malted grain. Wreathed in smoke, head bent intently over a battered Moleskine notebook, writing furiously...who is this guy? An anarchist? A poet? or the billionare founder-to-be of the next great Internet startup? Share a glass, and find out for yourself...
Price: $59.99
1989 Chasse-Spleen, Moulis
Review Date: 9-28-2013
A few years back when we traveled to Bordeaux to taste the 2009 vintage out of barrel, we were served the 1989 Chasse Spleen at lunch at the Chateau. Given the opportunity to taste it again, I jumped at the chance. At nearly 25 years of age the wine is near its peak. The nose speaks of a mature Bordeaux - cedar and tobacco, leather and prunes. On the palate the ripeness of the '89 vintage shines through - loads of dark fruit - tart blackcurrant and fig jam. Tannins are quite fine with a bit of firmness remaining. Delicious last night with a grilled ribeye steak, roasted fingerling potatoes and brussel sprouts.
Price: $109.99
2010 Cantina Terlan "Vorberg" Pinot Bianco Riserva
Review Date: 6-27-2013
Occasionally you may be fortunate enough to taste a wine of such focus and intensity, such extraordinary purity, that you cannot help but wonder briefly if you are worthy enough to drink it. And the answer is, of course, yes, albeit with the appropriate degree of awe and reverence. The 2010 Cantina Terlan Vorberg Pinot Bianco Riserva is one such wine. Intensely mineral in expression, lightly spicy, with depths you could lose yourself in. An unparalleled effort from a superb vintage.
Price: $26.99
2009 Saarloos & Sons "His" Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 4-25-2013
When I walked into the Saarloos & Sons tasting room in Los Olivos a couple of months ago, I wasn't sure quite what to expect. Which, in hindsight, is just as well, since Keith and Brad Saarloos are pretty good at defying expectations, challenging preconceptions, and gleefully poking with a stick anything that smacks of convention and pretense. We tasted a lot of great wines, most of which I dont remember well because Keith insisted I stop taking notes. At some point he also insisted I stop spitting, so tasting became drinking. So we drank and we talked. About wine, about grapes, about music, art, and life. It is worth noting at this point that Saarloos & Sons are farmers first and foremost. They grow grapes of exceptional quality, most of which they sell to other winemakers. A small amount they hold back every year to make their own wine. They sell exclusively direct to consumer, not through retail wine shops. But at the end of that evening they paid us the ultimate compliment. They offered us a couple of wines to make available to our K&L customers, the 2009 Saarloos & Sons "His" Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2010 Saarloos & Sons "Hers" Santa Ynez Valley Grenache Blanc. I absolutely recommend a visit to their tasting room in Los Olivos to taste their full selection, but until your next trip we are honored to share these two wines with you. I enjoyed the Cabernet Sauvignon at dinner the other night with my nephew. We grilled a 2 lb Fred Steak from Schaubs in Palo Alto, serving it with roasted baby Yukon potatoes and fresh local asparagus. The Cab was a perfect companion to the spicy, smoky meaty deliciousness that is Fred steak. A hint of violets and new wood on the nose. On the palate the wine has a rich, silky texture with notes of blackberry jam and cassis. Imagine the blackberry jam your grandmother used to make, heading out before dawn to her secret spot to pick fresh wild blackberries, then spending the rest of the day canning blackberry preserves. There is a sweetness of fruit, a ripeness perfectly offset by a liveliness and a freshness that keeps the wine in perfect balance. The finish is framed by fine tannins that lie lightly on the tongue, caressing the palate like a finely woven cotton blanket on a cool summer night. If there is a perfect California Cabernet Sauvignon, this is it. Expertly crafted, and a pure joy to drink.
Price: $39.99
2009 Arnauton, Fronsac
Review Date: 2-25-2013
Fronsac lies alongside Pomerol and Saint Emilion on the Right Bank, producing Merlot-based wines of good quality at good prices. A long, warmer than average autumn meant that much of the Merlot crop got quite ripe in 2009, resulting in some cases in full-bodied wines with a floral, almost exotic character. The 2009 Arnauton is one of these, richly textured with sweet, plummy fruit.
Price: $18.99

Laura Galbreath AIA, LEED AP
RTKL has completed participation in a year-long working committee known as the Hospitality Adaptations Working Group, facilitated by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) that was charged with developing sustainable design guidelines for hospitality facilities.
RTKL principle Laura Galbreath AIA, LEED AP, was the sole architect to serve on the committee, and is optimistic that new guidelines will encourage more hotel developers and operators to ramp up sustainability goals to USGBC standards.
"While most clients are interested in sustainable design, many have been less apt to seek LEED certification for the very reason that the cyclical and variable nature of their business wasn't addressed by the standard guidelines," says Galbreath, a 13-year veteran of the industry. "With new specifications that take into account meeting spaces, spa and pool facilities, and varying hours of operation, the hospitality industry now has a defined model for implementing sustainable design and practices."
The committee assessment produced guidelines that address a wide variety of considerations unique to the hospitality industry.
"In the United States alone, hotels represent more than five billion square-feet of space, nearly five million guest rooms, and close to $4 billion in annual energy use," says Corey Enck, director, U.S. Green Building Council. "The Hospitality Adaptations Working Group is helping the hospitality industry move further toward reducing its footprint and developing and operating high-performing green buildings."

The Entrepreneur's Corner
Want a strong business? Hire a coach!
It's still early in the year, so if you're like most people, you've probably just about given up on that exercise and diet plan you resolved to on Jan. 1! It happens to SO many of us every year, but why? We have the best of intentions – we can actually see our new physique, and we love it! We knew it would be work, but the payoff would be worth it.
Plus, we all know the basics: cut the fat, cut the sugars, pick up the weights. But as everyday people, what would make us think we really KNOW how to diet and exercise to maximum performance for our bodies? Maybe you do know how to work out and eat well, but you just can't seem to find the right combination of what foods to eat, and what exercises to do, to give you the results you want.
More likely than any of these reasons for abandoning your well-intended health plan is that it's difficult and much easier to NOT get up and get to the gym. And there's nobody there with you to hold you accountable, so missing today turns into this week, turns into next week. . . turns into you're done. See you again next January.
That's why there's an entire industry of fitness professionals called personal trainers to help us with this dilemma. These fitness coaches teach people what programs would be best for reaching particular goals. Then a good personal trainer shows how to perform and implement these exercises so they're done properly, with good form, and to maximum performance.
Lastly, these people actually SHOW UP at the gym – on time, excited, ready to work their clients out. They hold them accountable in the very way the clients themselves never seem to be able to do. The result? People learn about their options, set goals, learn what it takes and how to perform the essential tasks – and stay on course!
This is how a healthy body is made and maintained. For the few who can do it themselves, great. But for the rest of us, these fitness coaches are the difference between healthy and unhealthy.
This is exactly what a business coach does for the health of a small business owner's company.
A great business coach helps the small business owner set the goals that make sense for his or her business, and shows them what actions it takes to reach and exceed these goals. The business coach then teaches the small business owner the all-important "how to" for whatever essential tasks must be undertaken. Remember, form is important to results!
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, a good business coach is there with small business owners to hold them accountable for getting their work done! Just like a personal trainer, the business coach attends to the health of small business owners by empowering them with options, knowledge and a gentle push. And like our bodies, we can then have a business that operates consistently, and be business owners who can take command of what our business does, rather than just reacting to what it faces.
This lesson is a good one for other areas of expertise that your business might require. Want great advertising? Hire a marketing coach. Want your pro formas to be powerful? Hire a strong CPA. Be the business owner who is not afraid to reach out for help, but who's afraid to wake up and find your business is unhealthy!
Options, learning and accountability – these are the values that business coaching can bring to any small business owner who wants a healthy, strong, flexible business.

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

Farewell, Claire Ebel: An honest advocate
Ebel was a powerful advocate for civil liberties regardless of whether the Legislature was led by Repubilcans or Democrats. That says a lot about her integrity. She fought for ideals, not for party, and that made her very effective.
Ebel made allies and enemies on all sides. If she thought a proposed law would trample individual rights, she would fight it with vigor no matter which party was behind it. She forged close alliances with Republicans and Democrats, and she kept the NHCLU politically independent, refusing to let it become anyone's partisan tool.
We did not always agree with Ebel on the issues. When we did, we found her to be a strong and capable ally. When we did not, she always was a formidable opponent.
The world of politics is filled with too many hacks, posers, power-grabbers and charlatans. For 30 years, Claire Ebel stood out as an honest advocate for people who needed one. In Concord, her voice will be missed.
