KC fan here. hi all..
the Royals WANT Dickey. bad...but not Wil Myers bad..
as a poster said..would you trade Zack Wheeler (who could be a boom or bust himself) for Ellsbury now that Boston is setting up to trade him?
No I doubt it.
We are flush with prospects. Have a good OFer too in Cain.
Our pretty much thought of package would be Lorenzo Cain (OF), Aaron Crow (All-Star reliever), Christian Colon and likely a quality AA or AAA pitcher for say..Dickey and Valdespin (you guys have Murphy at 2nd and we are looking for 2nd basemen as well)..
That's not a bad return. 5 years of a fast and excellent defensive CF'er (go check his highlights) with some pop. a STRONG right hand reliever who can be brutal in the middle innings or even close (he stepped in as our closer when we yanked Soria as closer the season before last), Christian Colon (good hitting skills and a little pop but not much, playing SS but we planned to move him to 2nd at AAA unless we lock one up) and we have a plethora of young arms but a solid pen and working on a strong rotation.
Thoughts on that offer if it was out there? 2 pieces to toss in your 25 man right away and 2 on the cusp with projectability?
"uhmm Would we trade Wheeler for someone like Jacoby Elsbury? "
Do you really see Ellsbury as equal value to Dickey? I see your point, but your comparison is way off. Dickey has much greater value; especially to a team that can win this year and next year. I would think that a window to sign Dickey would be part of the deal. Jacoby would be a 1 year rental with no compensation afterwards. Dickey will at least net a draft pick if he isn't signed to a multiyear contract.
Cain only had 222 AB due to 3 injuries and is now considered a 4th outfielder.As for Colon, this is part of what MLB.COM said: " He doesn't have wow tools, and it's his feel for the game that should allow him to compete, but he didn't seem as advanced in the Texas League." You even told us that Colon isn't much of a return "(you guys have Murphy at 2nd and we are looking for 2nd basemen as well).". Colon played 2nd base in the winter league. We have Tejada and Murphy and don't need Colon.
If not Myers, then it would take Starling or Odorizzi, Gordon, Crow or Peralta and perhaps Donnie Joseph. Anything less is not enough of a return. Even this might not be enough. I would rather keep Dickey than trade him for the average players you suggested.
"Yes, the Royals would be dumb if they didn't make that trade. We'd be dumb if we did. Dickey won the Cy Young. Myers is a prospect. Most prospects flop. End of story."
You are absolutely right..most prospects flop. but not all prospects are awarded both the USAToday Minor League Player of the Year AND the Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year. Throw in the Topps Minor League Player of the Year and he is only the 3rd person to receive all 3, joining Andruw Jones and Josh Beckett.
So please, feel free to look over the lists below and tell us again how "dumb" we are to not make the trade. And moreso...look at the list and think how "dumb" your team would be if they did.
*shakes head* Would you have said that last year if Trout was being talked about and Dickey had won the Cy Young in 2011 instead of 2012?

Wow. Thanks for this lists. It really puts how special Will Myers is.
Which, begs the question. Why in the world would you guys even entertain trading a talent like that??

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"After stressing about my invitation for a month, I stumbled across this site. It was so simple to find what I wanted, edit it to my liking, and order! I got my order within 5 business days as promised and I couldn't have been happier! The floral detail looks like it was hand painted on each card. Be sure you upgrade to the shimmer paper, you won't be disappointed!"
"I just got the invitations today, and I am so happy with the results! I kept the recommended font and the orange sherbet color. I had the pearl white paper, and the quality is amazing!"
"I loved this invitation but it didn't come in the color I wanted. I asked the designers to change the colors to match my wedding colors and they were able to do so. The invitations are BEAUTIFUL!!! If you see something you like and it's not in the color you want, trust me, the designers will make it happen. I am satisfied. The only small issue that I noticed is on a few invitations there was a little ink smudge and a few invitations appear to not have been cut straight. Trust me; no one will notice that but me. But overall, I am very, very pleased with my order."
"Before I purchased this invitation I ordered a sample and I would DEFINENTLY suggest getting the pearl shimmer. It makes the invitations look expensive as aposed to the regular card stock like paper used. I asked them to do a white back drop on the front with all the design baroque and they were absolutely beautiful!! I am very impressed with these. Everyone told me how pretty they were and that they really liked. If you are looking for an elegant classy invitation get these!"
"These arrived exactly how we expected and were just perfect. Nicely packed and what we were hoping for and more. Our budget allowed for the standard paper and exterior envelope choice and they were excellent quality. We did add a metallic purple pocket envelope to hold all invite pieces, such as response card and information card that we had also ordered in the chalkboard. Everyone commented how beautiful they were and we were so excited with response as we were delighted that they were also very affordable! The design team on every piece was super on top of things and the process was effortless. Will use for other occasions most definitely. Thank you for making us feel special with the ease of use of your site and customer service."

St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center in Chatham played host to an episode of "Cake Boss" on Saturday, with members of the show's cast and crew filming scenes for an episode celebrating 20 million adoptions facilitated by Petfinder, an online database of animals who need homes. St. Hubert's is one of many pet shelters where South Orange and Maplewood residents find their animal companions.
The episode is expected to air sometime this fall on TLC.
St. Hubert's Vice President Nora Parker said the shelter was a natural place to hold the party because St. Hubert's was one of the first organizations to use Petfinder, which was founded in New Jersey in 1996. Petfinder was acquired by Discovery Communications, the same company that owns TLC, in 2006.
A note on the St. Hubert's website said,
Petfinder was "born" in NJ and St. Hubert's was one of the very first to sign on and broaden the exposure for our adoptable pets. So, where else but St. Hubert's would the party take place? And who else but the Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro, would be making the cake—and of course a special cake for the shelter pets too! The episode, which will air this fall, is filming right here at St. Hubert's on Saturday and we're so excited to play such an important part in the festivities!
The episode features show star Buddy Valastro, an East Hanover resident, baking a cake for the party.
Those who attended the cake brunch were sworn to secrecy as to what the cake looked like and how it came out, Parker said.
But one detail about the cake did appear on the St. Hubert's Facebook page: "Tasted as good as it looked!"

Stealing From God? Former Catholic Church Official Indicted
Edward J. Arsenault III has agreed to plead guilty and is expected to serve prison time.
Posted by Brian Slupski ,
A former senior official in the Roman Catholic Church has agreed to plead guilty to charges that he stole from the Archdiocese.
New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph Foster and U.S. Attorney John Kacavas announced in a press release that three waivers of indictment charging Edward J. Arsenault III with theft by unauthorized taking were filed Monday.
The waivers state that between Jan. 1, 2005 and March 15, 2013, Arsenault committed the crime of theft by unauthorized taking by knowingly exercising unauthorized control over the property of the Bishop of Manchester. The aggregated amount of the theft exceeded $1,500.
Arsenault is also alleged to have committed the crime of theft by unauthorized taking by knowingly exercising unauthorized control over the property of the Catholic Medical Center between Feb. 1 2009 and June 30 2010. Again, the aggregated amount of the theft exceeded $1,500.
The Rockingham County waiver alleges that between June 13, 2010 and Feb. 8, 2012, Arsenault committed the crime of theft by unauthorized taking by knowingly exercising unauthorized control over the property of the Estate of Reverend Monsignor John E. Molan. The aggregated amount of that theft also exceeded $1,500.

"Stealing from God" is a silly statement. He is stealing from the people who gave money for the work of the church.
John Santaella February 03, 2014 at 02:44 PM
Why is this in the Teaneck Patch? Just anti-Catholism? I've no dog in this fight either. I'm a non-believer.
Marc Acampora February 03, 2014 at 02:59 PM
He stole from people, not his invisible friend in the sky.
Phil Brooks February 03, 2014 at 04:10 PM
Or in the Ridgewood/Glen Rock Patch? // Though the phrase someone has "more money than God" might apply as the Catholic Church is one of the biggest businesses out there, to use the term "stealing from God," even with a question mark attached is highly inaccurate and inappropriate.
Traci A February 03, 2014 at 05:35 PM
For folks complaining about non-local news. Get used to it. Chances are, your local Patch editor has been let go (via voicemail--stay class, Patch!). I follow the Facebook pages of 2 local Patch sites here in MN and editors of both posted good-bye messages about a week ago. No real info given, but then I found this: http://mashable.com/2014/01/29/patch-layoffs-hundreds-audio/

@Rev- Henry Bates. I believe you are wrong. Read Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
macgeek February 03, 2014 at 05:59 PM
our money is gods. so that statement makes perfect sense. everything we have comes from God
Patricia Florez Schwartz February 03, 2014 at 06:17 PM
Stealing is wrong and that is the bottom line!
John Santaella February 03, 2014 at 06:33 PM
You're absolutely correct Patricia and we don't need churches or religion to tell us that.
John Santaella February 04, 2014 at 01:06 AM
Banks have Congress to back them up. So, they're stealing is legal. ;)
John Santaella February 05, 2014 at 07:30 PM
Ask any bar owner and they'll tell you they'd rather have a relative working for them than a stranger. They'd rather have family stealing than anyone else.

Who doesn't remember
Dorothy Hamill? Her skilled skating performance at the 1976 Winter
Olympics won her not only the Gold Medal, but legendary status among figure
skating fans.
She became a style icon, too, with a wedge haircut that everyone
recognized. Even today, if you tell a hairdresser you want a
"Dorothy Hamill cut," they'll know exactly what you mean.
Dorothy Hamill and several other skating champions will be in Anaheim this
weekend for the "Stars On Ice" show.

With a number of high-profile college football teams struggling to find wins this season, head coaches are finding out how hot the hot seat really is. In this "what have you done for me lately" world, the reality is that you're only as good as your last season (or game in some instances). In these situations, the question later becomes, "How long should a new head coach at a high profile school be given to turn things around?" There are a lot of schools that may be asking that question pretty soon, and here are four of the most prominent head coaches that may be out the door if they don't turn things around in a hurry.
Derrick Dooley (Tennessee)
With Tennessee's most recent SEC loss to South Carolina on Saturday, Tennessee is now 0-5 in SEC play. With a 4-17 SEC record with victories over Vanderbilt twice, Kentucky once, and Ole Miss once, Dooley has yet to beat SEC rivals Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Tennessee fans in Knoxville are getting tired of mediocrity and want wins, not moral victories with close loses. Rumors around East Tennessee are that Dooley could get fired as early as this week. Tennessee fans number one candidate for a replacement if Dooley gets canned would be MNF analyst John Gruden who was a G.A. for Tennessee in 1986-1987 and his wife is a former Volunteer cheerleader.
Gene Chizik (Auburn)
Chizik, who is only two years out of a national title for the Auburn faithful, is having a very trying fourth year. With a 31-17 overall record and 15-15 SEC record including a dismal 0-6 SEC record this season, the War Eagle faithful want a coaching change. With Chizik's loss to Vanderbilt earlier this season, he became the first coach in school history to lose to Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Mississippi State all in the same season. With this Saturday's 63-21 loss to Texas A&M, Chizik's future doesn't look good at Auburn. Auburn president Jay Gouge issued a letter regarding the state of the Auburn football program. The letter pretty much says (without actually saying it) that Chizik's days are numbered.
Joker Phillips (Kentucky)
With the fierce competition in the SEC, it's no surprise that this is our third SEC school on this list. At 1-8 so far this season, Kentucky is having a below average season. Phillip's SEC record in two and a half seasons is 4-18, exactly the same as Derrick Dooley's pitiful record at Tennessee. Now Kentucky is no football powerhouse, but winning at least five games a season has been a consistent standard for the Wildcats. In Rich Brooks's final four seasons, Kentucky made four straight bowls (winning three). Joker's overall record of 12-22 is, well, a joke. It's not up to any SEC team's standards in football, even Kentucky's. For Phillips to digress from a 6-7, 5-7, to now 1-8 record, his time in Lexington may be running out.
Frank Spaziani (Boston College)
Spaziani, like Joker, has degressed each season that he has been at Boston College. He's went from 8-5, 7-6, 4-8, and is currently at 2-6 this year. Anytime a head coach's record keeps getting worse, it's obvious their recruiting classes aren't up to par. With his first recruiting class entering its fourth year along with third-year starting quarterback in Chase Rettig, a struggling season is not what Boston College fans expected. Being in his fourth year with an overall record of 22-25 and 13-16 in the ACC, Spaziani's time in Bean Town may be running out.

With a current budget proposal pending before Cincinnati City Council calling for laying off up to 112 police officers, police supervisors are working on a new plan for responding to calls for service.
The plan, dubbed the Police Differential Response Program, is an attempt to reduce the number of calls for service that the department responds to on a daily basis. Under the plan, police won't send a patrol car for certain types of calls.
Once upon a time, there was a mockumentary made about the Punk band, the Sex Pistols. Filmed some 30 years ago, The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle parodied the cliches of the music industry by charting the creation, rise and breakup of the group.
Now, the leader of Cincinnati's police union has formed a similarly titled group on Facebook, called Citizens Against Streetcar Swindle (CASS).
Ohio's inspector general released a report today criticizing the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) for improperly reimbursing federal stimulus funds to hired organizations that did not follow rules.
In a statement, Inspector General Randall Meyer's office said ODJFS "failed to adequately oversee federal grant funds applied to the Constructing Futures jobs training initiative for Central Ohio."
The report released by Meyer's office today, which focused on stimulus programs in central Ohio, outlined a few instances of ODJFS failing to oversee proper standards. In total, the department, which was put in charge of carrying out job training funds in Ohio from the stimulus package President Barack Obama signed into law in 2009, wrongly reimbursed companies it hired for $51,700.81.
In central Ohio, ODJFS hired two organizations to carry out the job training program, or Workforce Investment Act: Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) and Construction Trades Networks (CTN). At ABC, the inspector general found limited problems with faulty reimbursements involving a newspaper subscription, travel and mileage totaling less than $100. The money was not accounted for as a questionable cost since it was so small.
However, at CTN, the faulty reimbursements piled up. The organization was reimbursed $560.61 for phone calls made prior to being hired as part of the federal grant. It was also reimbursed $1,613.62 for its invoices, even though documentation was not provided to link phone calls as necessary to the grant program.
Under the federal stimulus rules, CTN was required to provide 25 percent of its own funds for the program. CTN planned on using $91,800 of in-kind funds — payment that isn't cash — by paying for trainee wages. The organization paid $60,927.70 by the end of the grant period, and the organization was reimbursed for $49,526.64 by ODJFS, even though the charges were supposed to be carried by CTN. The inspector general requested CTN give the money back to ODJFS.
When the inspector general contacted the organization to explain the findings, CTN attributed the requests for faulty reimbursements to confusion caused by multiple administrative changes at ODJFS.
"In addition, monitoring visits by ODJFS were not conducted until after the grant period expired, even though the partnerships were told the visits would occur as grant activities were underway," the report said.
Meyer's office concluded ODJFS should review the questioned costs, work to keep consistent guidelines through administrative changes and monitor grant funds during the grant period.
The full inspector general report can be found here.
A report was released for northwestern Ohio was released on May 10, and it also found wrongdoing. It can be found here. A report for stimulus programs in southwestern Ohio will be released later.ODJFS could not be immediately provide comment on the report. This story will be updated if comments become available.
UPDATE (3:28 P.M.): Benjamin Johnson, spokesperson for ODJFS, provided a comment shortly after this story was published.
"As the report mentions, these were expenditures by local entities, not by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services," he says. "We appreciate the inspector general bringing this to our attention, and we'll work to resolve the matter."
As CityBeat did in the 2007 and 2009 election cycles, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "The Police and Fire departments constitute 69 percent of the city's General Fund spending. Do you believe this amount can be lessened without affecting public safety?"

During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "With the city facing a potential $33 million deficit next year, what specific cuts and/or revenue enhancements would you propose or support to eliminate the shortfall?"
With all the last-minute deal-making and back and forth among Cincinnati officials, some residents remain confused about details of the city's operating budget for this year. At least, that's the impression CityBeat gets based on its feedback.
Among the most asked-about items is exactly which city-owned swimming pools are affected by budget cuts to help reduce Cincinnati's $54.7 million deficit. In all, 19 of its 33 pools won't open next summer.
The "Highway to Health Care" tour rolls into town Saturday, stopping in Bond Hill to help local people contact their members of Congress to demand real health care reform. Sponsored by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the tour features an RV outfitted as a mobile activism center, complete with on-board laptop computers, cell phones and postcards for participants to contact their Senators and Representatives.
Three activists associated with The Cincinnati Beacon blog have lodged a formal complaint with the city's attorneys today, alleging some City Council members "behaved secretly and in contradiction of the charter" during a recent budget dispute.
Also, other critics are researching whether the council members' action violated state law.
He was hired by Republicans, and now he's been fired by Republicans.
Hamilton County commissioners voted 2-1 today to fire County Administrator Patrick Thompson. Republicans Greg Hartmann and Chris Monzel voted to terminate Thompson, with Democrat Todd Portune opposed.
Organizers of a local anti-gang and violence reduction program will hold an open house Thursday so the community can become reacquainted with its street advocate team.
The Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV) is holding the open house and resource fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at its offices. The location is 19 W. Elder St. in Over-the-Rhine.

The Thornton F. Bradshaw Programs and Endowment Fund was established in memory of Thornton F. Bradshaw, former Chariman of the Board of Trustees of Claremont Graduate University. The endowment supports projects, conferences, visitors and other collaborative ventures in the Humanities.
Thornton Bradshaw was known primarily as a businessman: president of ARCO and C.E.O. of RCA. We at Claremont Graduate University also remember him as a teacher, a scholar and chairman of our Board. Passionately interested in the arts and in building a thriving, lively community, he was convinced that business leaders profit, as do their organizations, from the breadth of vision and the understanding of the hopes of people which the humanities teach.

Good stuff here from Slate blogger Matt Yglesias: The issue is the bifurcated cable television markets in North America. Right now, hockey has a national broadcast deal in Canada and it has another one in the United States. Losing the national deal in the USA would be very costly to the entire enterprise. But to maintain that national deal, the NHL has to present itself as offering a true nationwide sports league which means you need teams in the sunbelt. Atlanta's departure didn't leave too much of a hole in the map since there are teams in North Carolina and Tennessee. Probably any one of the remaining non-Dallas sunbelt teams is expendable, but if you lost more than one to colder climes you might start imperiling the League's claim to be a real major sports across the length and breadth of the United States. Offered in response to The Economist. Update: In case you missed it, more of my thoughts on the future of national television broadcasts for the NHL from March 30.

Environmental advocates today released a report which they say highlights the determination of big oil companies to transport "toxic" tar sands oil to through Maine from Canada. The study examines the ownership of a pipeline that cuts across Maine from Montreal. Tom Porter has more.
Dylan Voorhees (right) is with the Natural Resources Council of Maine - one of the groups behind the report. "The company that owns the pipeline that goes through Maine is commonly known as the Portland Pipe Line Corporation, but that really doesn't tell you about who's behind this. You have to follow several layers of corporate ownership backwards," he says.
And those layers, Voorhees says, lead to a Canadian oil and tar sands company named Imperial Oil, which is mostly owned by ExxonMobil. A call to ExxonMobil was returned by a spokesman from Imperial Oil, who denied that Imperial controls any interests outside Canada.
The bottom line though, says Voorhees, is that a Texas oil giant controls the Maine pipeline. "So the majority of the ownership of the Maine pipeline is by ExxonMobil, the biggest of the big oil companies out there," he says.
The 62-year-old pipeline is currently used to transport crude oil westward from tankers arriving in Portland. The concern among environmental groups is that the flow will be reversed to transport tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada, eastwards to Portland, from where it can reach global oil markets.
Referencing information obtained through a Freedom of Access request, the report claims that even though Portland Pipe Line Corporation publicly denied it was moving ahead with the tar sands project, quite another thing was happening behind closed doors.
In October last year, Voorhees says, members of the Portland Pipe Line Corporation met with members of the LePage administration and state environmental officials to talk about "Canadian Oil Sands Development."
"We have the literature they handed out, we know who was in those meetings and they were there clearly to talk about Canadian tar sands," he says. "And it doesn't fit with the public story that the Portland Pipeline company has been telling, which is we have no active proposal to bring tar sands through this pipeline."
Portland Pipe Line Corporation did not respond to a request for comment for this story, but state officials characterize last October's meeting as more of an informational session, designed to introduce company officials to the new governor.
Adrienne Bennett is director of communications for Gov. Paul LePage.
"What I can tell you is that it was a meet-and-greet type of meeting and there have not been subsequent meetings since then," Bennett says.
The email exchange obtained through the environmentalists' Freedom of Access request indicate that the director of Maine's Department of Environmental Protection attended the meeting. However, a spokesperson for the Department told MPBN that no one from the DEP actually atttended the meeting, even though the report stated otherwise.
As for Portland Pipe Line's plans to transport tar sands east from Canada, state officials say there hasn't been much movement. In 2009 the company applied for an air emissions license - part of the permitting process to enable the pipeline to reverse its flow. But in April of last year that application was withdrawn, and as of now, says Bennett, it has not been re-applied for.
"What we have in place is an objective and fair reviewing process if at such time Portland Pipe Line would like to come forward and request an air emissions license," she says.
Nevertheless, environmental groups say they do expect such an application to be forthcoming. They point to the fact that requests to reverse the pipeline flow have already been submitted on the Canadian side of the border as indication that things are moving in this direction.
Tar sands oil, they say, is more toxic than regular crude and harder to clean up in the event of a spill. Proponents of tar sands, meanwhile, claim that the industry - as well as being good for the economy - maintains comparatively low greenhouse emissions.

MOUNT VERNON The Mount Vernon Players are gearing up for another production. Their latest play is called The Last Five Years and despite being a full-blown musical, the cast consists of just two actors.
The show follows the lives of a struggling actress named Cathy Hiatt and a young, up-and-coming writer named Jamie Wellerstein as they meet, fall in love, get married, and then face adversity over a five-year period. In a unique twist, the two characters tell their tales in opposite directions: Cathys first song is about the day Jamie has moved out and Jamies is about the day he met Cathy. This gives the audience a unique look into their lives that more traditional storytelling would have missed.
Despite the small cast, director and cast member Jesse Miller promises this is a big, entertaining show.
A lot of the shows out there that you might see with only one or two people like this tend to be pretty avant garde, said Miller. The script and music for this show are approachable and do a great job of always giving the audience something to engage in. I dont tend to have a lot of patience for things that dont get to the point, and the writer really did a great job of keeping things moving all the way through the show.
There are actually two casts for this production. The first weekend will star Jesse and Allison Miller, the second Dayne Baughman and Allison Miller. According to Jesse Miller, the dynamics between the two casts make for very different performances.
The Last Five Years will be running at ThePlace@TheWoodward, 111 S. Main St., at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 11-12 and 18-19, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 13 and 20. Tickets are available at the door, Madcap, and the downtown Sips location. Those who bring a ticket stub from a previous performance, will get half off their second trip. Due to language and mature subject matter, this show may not be appropriate for all ages.

Nettle Meadow Farm is a 50 acre goat and sheep dairy and cheese company in Thurman, New York just below Crane Mountain in the Adirondacks between Gore Mountain/North Creek, New York and Warrensburg, New York. It is owned and operated by Lorraine Lambiase and Sheila Flanagan. Both have a great love of animals, artisan cheese and the unique challenges of farm life. The farm is run with the assistance of Sheila's mother, Joan Flanagan. Nettle Meadow Farm was originally founded in 1990 and is the home of over 300 goats, several dozen sheep and a variety of farm sanctuary animals. Visit our Farm & Sanctuary page to learn more.
Nettle Meadow is committed to the principles of natural ingredients, happy and healthy animals, and carefully hand-crafted artisan cheeses. We make several varieties of soft goat cheeses including Lightly Salted Chevre, Tellicherry Pepper and Lemon Verbena Chevre, Chevre with Mixed Herbs, Horseradish, Olive Oil and Garlic Chevre, Maple Walnut Chevre, Pumpkin Spice Chevre and Herb, Pepper and Garlic Chevre as well as Fromage Blanc, Honey Lavender Fromage Blanc, and Rosemary Infused Fromage Blanc. We are also well known for our semi-aged cheeses, including triple crème Kunik made from goat milk and Jersey cow cream, and Crane Mountain made from 100% goat milk. Our most recent creation, Three Sisters (named after Three Sisters mountains which overshadow our farm), is made from farmstead sheep, goat and Jersey cow milk. Our newest cheese, Simply Sheep, is made from all sheep's milk. Visit our Cheeses page for more information.
Thank you for taking a look and please contact us if you have any questions about the farm, sanctuary, our cheeses, or for directions. The farm is normally open Thursday through Monday from 11am to 3pm for cheese sales. Find out about our tours—visitors with a love of animals and cheese are always welcome.

Draft analysis: Ranking Ted Thompson's linebackers
Linebacker is an important position in the Packers 3-4 defense, which makes it curious why Ted Thompson didnt draft one in 2008 and 2010.
- Apr. 24, 2014
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
Linebacker is an important position in the Packers 3-4 defense, which makes it curious why Ted Thompson didnt draft one in 2008 and 2010.
The contract numbers are in for backup quarterback Matt Flynn, who signed a new deal earlier this week, and it appears the Packers bought themselves a fairly inexpensive insurance policy in case Aaron Rodgers gets hurt again.
The Green Bay Packers will open their 2014 season in the national spotlight against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field, site of one of the most controversial losses in team history.
Press-Gazette Media's Mike Vandermause hosted a live Packers chat at 3 p.m. CDT Thursday.
The Seattle Seahawks' NFL title defense will begin Sept. 4 against the Green Bay Packers at CenturyLink Field. But that's far from the only intriguing game on the 2014 NFL schedule, which the league released Wednesday night. Here's a look at 10 more:
Last year: 13-3, first in NFC West, reigning Super Bowl champion.
All Times Central
All Times Central
The Packers schedule wont be officially announced until 7 p.m. today, but in piecing together various media reports via Twitter, the 2014 slate is starting to take shape.
The NFL will be able to flex games to Sunday night as early as Week 5 beginning this season, NFL.com reported today.
Kudos to Ted Thompson for finding those hidden gems, but when it comes to drafting cornerbacks, the Packers general manager has struggled.
Joe Whitt doesn't know the going rate for a top-flight cornerback, nor does he really care.
Newly signed defender Julius Peppers was among the players who participated in the first day of the Packers' offseason workout program today.
The NFL will release its 2014 regular-season schedule at 7 p.m. Wednesday, with the announcement coming on NFL Network. NFL.com and NFL Mobile.
The Packers made it official today when they announced the signing of quarterback Matt Flynn.
With his second overall pick as Packers general manager, Ted Thompson hit the jackpot with the selection of safety Nick Collins from little-known Bethune-Cookman in the second round of the 2005 draft.
An NFL playoff game will air on cable for the first time this season.
Not everyone considers Packers first-round pick Justin Harrell a draft bust. In the latest installment of Packers Talkback, one reader sounds off and I offer my response. As always, you can get into the conversation by sending an email to email@example.com.
The NFL schedule is expected to be released sometime this week, but exactly when is anyones guess.
The first phase of the Green Bay Packers' offseason program begins on Tuesday and more than 20 returning veterans are poised to cash in with their participation.
If Clay Matthews is rushing the passer from one side of the Green Bay Packers' defense and Julius Peppers from the other, who will opponents double team?
Micah Hyde thought his days returning kickoffs were over once he graduated from Ohio's Fostoria High School.
It didn't take long for Jarrett Bush to notice Julius Peppers when the future Green Bay Packers cornerback first arrived at training camp with the Carolina Panthers in 2006.
Linebacker Clay Matthews believes he will see fewer double-teams now that the Packers have signed Julius Peppers.
Matt Flynn isn't going anywhere. After reportedly being scheduled to meet with the New York Giants on Tuesday, the 28-year-old quarterback instead reached an agreement to stay with the Green Bay Packers.
During every Green Bay Packers Tailgate Tour, team president Mark Murphy is asked about the process the organization has made on a public reconciliation with Brett Favre. Tuesday morning was no exception.
Injuries and inconsistency riddled Brad Jones first full season as a starting inside linebacker, but that hasnt changed how he views his place in the Green Bay Packers defense.
Lynn Dickey, who played for the Green Bay Packers from 1976 to 1985, knows a little something about the quarterback position, and he believes Aaron Rodgers is the best in the NFL.
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby seems unfazed by the NFLs efforts to make his job more difficult.
Matt Flynn isnt going anywhere. The Green Bay Packers have reportedly re-signed the 28-year-old quarterback.
A scheduled court hearing for former Green Bay Packers safety Darren Sharper was continued until Thursday morning after a Los Angeles judge decided Tuesday to find out what happens in a related hearing for Sharper on Wednesday in Arizona.
Wes Hodkiewicz and Mike Vandermause assess whether cornerback Casey Hayward can regain his rookie form and the possibility of Micah Hyde moving to safety.
It took a month, but the Green Bay Packers finally assigned Julius Peppers a number.
Matt Flynn is expected to work out tomorrow for the New York Giants, according to ESPNs Adam Caplan and numerous other media reports.
It has taken a month, but the Green Bay Packers have finally assigned Julius Peppers a number.
It's the first thing Micah Hyde sees each time he checks Twitter and a topic he can't escape when back home with family and friends.
The Green Bay Packers reportedly arent the only team interested in Matt Flynn.
The Green Bay Packers have released receiver Sed Cunningham, according to the NFL transaction wire.

Question by Todd 5888 · Jan 26 '11 at 05:25 PM · cooking spices paleo food
Analyzing my cooking pattern, I notice that I have 3 "go-to" spices that I essentially add to every dish (no joke)
In an effort to expand my culinary horizons, I ask, What spices do you find yourself always reaching for?
Edit: I guess I should also ask, does anyone know of a reason why I should limit using these on the regular?

Answer by being 15422 · Jan 26 '11 at 07:59 PM
i cant choose three. most frequently i cook with cumin, coriander, smoked paprika and cinnamon for spices. i use a lot of spice blends from north africa and the middle east like harissa, garam masala and baharat. grains of paradise are used a lot around here, and tellicherry pepper.
in the non-spice world i use a lot of garlic, various salts, preserved lemon peel, dill, thyme, rosemary, basil... my favorite flavor is from chile peppers though. i ALWAYS have (get this) aleppo pepper, urfa biber, chipotle mecco, de arbol, cascabel, ancho, chimayo, gujillo and new mexico green chiles. its a sickness i have. this is why i couldnt stop laughing when someone suggested i give up nightshades and capsicum for my MS- NOT. GONNA. HAPPEN.
Answer by THATgirl 1087 · Jan 26 '11 at 06:21 PM
I can't just pick three...but here are my top choices: Garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, cinnamon, and sea salt are the ones I can't live without.
I make homemade baked sweet potato fries: sweet potato chopped into fry like slices, tossed in olive oil, garlic, onion, cayenne or paprika and cinnamon. After they come out of the oven a light dusting of sea salt. They are AMAZING.
also most of my meats are cooked with garlic, onion, and black pepper.
I'm excited to hear what others say as I want to mix it up more.
Answer by Vee 97 · Jan 26 '11 at 05:27 PM
onion and garlic pretty much go in everything.
Answer by nnunn 503 · Jan 26 '11 at 06:03 PM
Freshly ground Black Pepper!!! (I think I would die without this)
A good Cajun spice mix (I make my own - http://www.food.com/recipe/the-best-creole-cajun-seasoning-mix-186029)
Answer by Carly 4953 · Jan 26 '11 at 06:09 PM
Ahhh, so many :D erm, today I would say ginger, cumin and cayenne pepper, ask me another day and you'll probably get a different answer :D oooh, cinnamon's a good one for pork...... I also love the spice blends like chinese 5 spice or allspice.
Answer by Jayan 964 · Jan 26 '11 at 06:10 PM
Your top 3 have been mine as well, for most of my cooking life - I think they're the staples in any Indian household. Onion and garlic as well, if we're considering those spices.
Cumin can be mildly estrogenic - this is traditionally countered by the indoles and sulfur compounds in mustard seeds. Their taste contribution is subtle, and an acquired taste for some people, but they're indispensable to me now.
Lately I've been trying for more variety, shifting towards European herbs/spices. Black pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil are my new favorites.
Fennel and poppy seeds are also interesting, if you've never tried them.
Answer by Paul 635 · Jan 26 '11 at 07:27 PM
Answer by Karen 11317 · Jan 26 '11 at 07:55 PM
I would NEVER willingly limit myself to 3 spices, but if I was stranded on the mythical desert island with only three, they would be ginger, garlic and cayenne. Herbs would be extra right? For those, fresh basil, rosemary and some mint for tea. I'll use the citrus rinds from the trees over next to the coconut palm for the rest of my seasoning needs.
Answer by Chickenosaurus Rex 3299 · Jan 26 '11 at 08:45 PM
The holy trinity of onions, garlic, and ginger.
Answer by Amanda barefootforward 117 · Jan 27 '11 at 12:28 AM
Garlic, garlic, and garlic.
Oh, and curry.
One more? Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute. And if that doesn't count, Dill.

I am sure former players like myself, who won a Super Bowl ring with the 49ers in 81, underwent emergency VP Shunt brain surgery during that season, survived 2 more, 10 hrs apart 4 months after our SB win, was forced to sue for Work Comp just to get my bills paid, and has now survived 9 NFL caused emergency VP Shunt brain surgeries, 33 years of gran mal seizures and still doesn't qualify for NFL benefits will be cut out also.
The NFL's settlement amounts to .000000004% of what they will gross over the 20 year payout period, IF their $9.5 billion/yr doesn't increase. It's expected to hit $25 billion/yr by the end of the payout period.
