According to Steve Rubel, Senior Vice President, Director of Insights at Edelman Digital, one of the most interesting parts of his job is working with David Armano each January to curate the key trends they think their clients and teams need to think about in the year ahead.
For this year's installment, they have identified 11 trends. If there's a common theme that runs through it all, it's that there will increasingly be a lot of information coming at us, yet the same amount of time to digest it all. This, as Auggie Ray from Forrester notes, will make standing out more challenging.
In this slideshow, you will find the same recommendations they are sharing with their clients and helping them bake into their strategies.

The game will be broadcast by 92.7 THEVAN.FM and stream on theinternet. For the first time, Hope will also be streaming LIVEstats from home games.
North Park, located on Chicago's northside, has an undergraduate enrollment of 1,900. The university is affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church. In 2011 North Park posted a 3-7 record. The Vikings are coached by Scott Pethtel who early in his career was an assistant at MIAA member Adrian. The Vikings were very much a run-oriented team in 2011, averaging 278 yards per game rushing as opposed to 40 yards per game through the air. The team rushed 87% of the time (583 rushes as opposed to 84 passes over 10 games).
The season opener will mark the 47th annual Hope/Holland Community Day. The game will be preceded by a picnic for the community, student body and faculty/staff on the front lawn of DeVos Fieldhouse. More than 1,500 people will be served. Community Day. The event debuted in 1966 as a Community Ox Roast, held in conjunction with the college's centennial celebration. Subsequent Community Days have provided an opportunity for Holland and Hope to celebrate.
Participating in the pre-game coin toss with the captains will be Jim Vander Meer who retired from the Hope coaching staff and faculty at the end of the 2011-12 school year. Jim was a member of the coaching staff for 27 seasons. He was part of 10 MIAA championships as a coach and player and on the staff in all five of Hope's NCAA playoff appearances. A 1976 Hope graduate, Vander Meerwas a four-year football letterman at linebacker. In his senior year he was voted the recipient of the Allan C. Kinney Memorial Award in recognition of his maximum contribution to the football program.
Hope will also celebrate the beautifully renovated Holland Municipal Stadium, home of the Flying Dutchmen since 1979. Hope College and the City of Holland are in the final stages of transferring ownership of the stadium to the college. Already more than $1 million has been spent by the college installing the Pro Turf surface, upgrading the lights and making other improvements. A formal re-dedication of the stadium will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22.

Was Petco Careless in Letting 100 Animals Die During a Recent Flood?
Earlier this week, at least 100 animals died at a Johnson City, N.Y. Petco store due to flooding caused by Tropical Storm Lee so severe that it turned the pet store's parking lot into a pond. Evidence strongly suggests that the deaths could have been prevented.
On the official Petco blog, animal care and education vice president Marcie Whichard writes that the animals died because of "a communications lapse from the city to the store in evacuations orders." She also states that the flooding was caused by sewage/drainage issues affecting Johnson City, a town located near Binghamton in south-central New York. The company's now investigating why Johnson City didn't send the store any evacuation orders or warn it about prior flooding, she writes. "Had we been aware of potential flooding we would have removed all of the animals from the store as we do in all other locations."
Her statement goes on:
An associate went by to check the store at 11:45 p.m. on Wednesday night and there were no signs of flooding or a flood warning in effect. Our store associates and manager in Johnson City had no reason to expect our store would be impacted by the flooding of the Susquehanna River so the decision was made to keep the animals in the store. We have a hotline for associates to use if they ever feel an animal is in danger and no calls were made to the hotline suggesting that the associates feared flooding would impact the store and endanger the animals.
Early Thursday morning our team arrived to work and was shocked at the enormity of the situation. They immediately tried to enter the building to evacuate the animals but were turned away by the authorities due to concerns for human safety. At the time the city was focused on rescuing people from their homes by boat and could not divert resources to our store until Friday.
But this argument, unlike Petco's parking lot, doesn't hold water. As one news report points out, people who lived very close to the store were evacuated. On September 7 at 5:35 PM, Broome County Emergency Management issued a NY-Alert message titled, "Flood in Johnson City at or above levels of 2006 record flood/If you evacuated in 2006 then you need to evacuate now." That message called for everyone on Petco's street to evacuate, and predicted that the Susquehanna River would flood "to the same level or above the levels" as it had during a 2006 flood. The National Weather Service also issued warnings. Did Petco not receive them?
As one blogger who lives by the Petco notes, heavy rains began on September 6. By the following afternoon, schools were evacuating and businesses were shutting down. Petco shut down as well—and for whatever reason, decided to leave its animals inside even while other pet stores in the area evacuated their animals.
Furthermore, the rising waters of the Susquehanna—not the sewage/drainage issues Petco's complaining about— caused all the flooding, says Johnson City Mayor Dennis Hannon. "The water moves into that area," he told a reporter. "With all the flood warnings and evacuation orders that were issued, for them not to go down there is just absolutely disgusting."
The Internet seems to agree with Hannon. In addition to this Reddit thread, people who have left comments on the Petco blog say they've called People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, plan to boycott Petco, hope someone plans protests against Petco, and the like. Someone's already set up a Boycott Petco Facebook page, and there's also a petition to kick the chain out of Johnson City. Given that the flood waters were quickly rising, and that everyone in the area was evacuating, it seems like Petco had plenty of notice that something horrible could happen to the hamsters, snakes, and other creatures inside its store. Better safe than sorry, as they say—if for PR reasons alone! Damn.

Country rugby league: Some grounds are like time warps for bad behaviour
The transformation of workplace environments since the mid-1980s, when I started my career, has mirrored society in general – the open sexism, homophobia, racism and bullying lanced like a boil.
Have these malignant throwbacks been removed completely? Of course not. Will they be? No, never. Are some workplaces worse than others in terms of this behaviour? Certainly. Have we, as a society, gone too far in policing behaviour deemed anti-PC? Sure we have. We're human: over-correction is in our nature.
But we don't want to go back in time. We don't want our workplaces and our society at large to resemble one of the few remaining problem areas – a miasmic punch where sins of the past are spewed from all variety of mouths: young and old, male and female, the solo offender and the rabid group.
As sure as players will run on to country rugby league fields around regional Australia in the coming months and be held accountable for acts not aligned with the game's evolution, there will be people in the crowd – the wanton minority – who will act in a manner out of step with society's evolution, and, in the vast majority of cases, get away with it.
Most of the players don't get paid. And a touch judge told me last year he didn't get paid enough. He spoke a day after being subjected to non-stop abuse, some of it highly personal, at a Group 4 match at Bendemeer. Similar to the great Panamanian ex-boxer Roberto Duran infamously uttering "no mas [no more]" in his corner between rounds after being battered by Sugar Ray Leonard, the touch judge had had enough – 2017 would be his last season running the line, he stressed.
I recently heard a woman shout, "I hope you break your leg, No.11." Her group of fellow young female supporters, who had spent the match jeering, rebuked her, and then immediately recommenced the foul offensive they no doubt learned as children from adults.
At another game – where the ground announcement urging the crowd to act with decorum had as much effect as injecting a virus with a placebo – my daughter was brought to tears by the abuse she and her younger brother received from a group of children. Such ground announcements are the norm at country rugby league games, in the bid to connect the sport to the generational change washing over Australian culture like a colon cleanser.
In June last year, Group 4 lamented a crowd abuse incident that resulted in the Kootingal-Moonbi and Barraba game at Kootingal being abandoned, with then Group 4 president Mick Schmiedel warning that life bans from all Country Rugby League games had been imposed on unruly spectators in the past. "We don't want people abusing players, let alone match officials, irrespective of the reason," he had said. "Every single person on that field – players and match officials – is trying to do their best."
He added: "We're trying hard to clean up the game, and people have to understand that they have to help us clean the game up … if people turn up to games and there's abuse, we're not going to get people to games."
This year, both Group 4 and Group 3 revealed that they had a severe referee shortage. In recent years, Group 10, Group 19 and Group 21 have also experienced the problem.
While there are multiple factors causing this, crowd abuse would be among them. Because to enter some country rugby league grounds is like being reintroduced to my childhood in 1970-80s Central Queensland, the only difference being that I no longer hear people screaming, "Hit the black c***." Compare that malign contemporary environment to contemporary Australian culture and the effect is almost as jarring as that vile racial slur.

YouTube lives or dies from people uploading content. YouTube makes sure that people have easy access on both the up and down loading side. Most folks are thrilled to have this virtual place where they can join in the great explosion of moving pictures. Until the web became robust enough to handle it, there were either home movies or Hollywood film and television.
Having content only be in the hands of business meant the content was controlled, not only for quality, but also for message. Starting some time in the 30's through the heyday of Hollywood, the industry censors had rules about what stories could or could not be made. The bankers who paid for the films demanded their image not be tarnished. The rich as a class could not be condemned. Corruption of public officials could be shown, but only if there was someone higher up who was honest. Women who "strayed" had to come to a bad end. Films with "colored" people had to be made so that the scenes with them in it could be cut out of the film for Southern distribution, unless the characters were servants. And there was nothing you or I could do about it.
The advent of the independents that started in the 60s altered the balance of power, but it still took hard cold cash to get movies made and distributed. There was a second tier of power, but it still took enough investment that only those who could fight their way to the top of the pyramid got their work seen.
In a few short years, all that has changed. Suddenly we can have our say. That doesn't mean anybody will watch, but we no longer can complain that "they" won't give us a chance. You can "green light" yourself.
Defeatists can still find excuses. They say that with an hour of content being uploaded every minute, that no one will find you. So why bother? If you're one of those people, the answer is don't bother. But, if you're one of the people who loves to watch
YouTube so much you have to make videos to join in the conversation, then odds are you will find your audience. You could even make a living at it through the
YouTube Partners Program.
But don't start thinking profit. The successful Partners didn't. Many big companies are trying to capitalize on the social media explosion of audience, trying to corral those eyes for their purposes and profit. But the thing about social media is that it is social. Like someone who wants to join your circle of friends just to sell you all life insurance. Yuck.
From my personal sampling of the successful partners, they are very social (it's called
social media for a reason) and all of them made loved
YouTube first and made videos second. Even after becoming big on the site, they don't just make their videos, they watch them all the time. They comment on them. They talk to their commenters. They start to know each other and a community is born. Community, once formed acts like a magnet drawing others in who otherwise might not have joined. And the party starts. As a clear example of this, Derek Sivers shows the attraction of group enjoymentin the video below. And while TED has a very nifty website for their videos, you can also watch them on - yes -
The lesson is that you can make a living on YouTube if it's your playground as well as your job. Yes, making a living is also work. The Partners making a living online are also savvy about when to upload, how to interact with their viewers, and use all the fabulous analytic tools that Google and YouTube offer to see what works and what doesn't. But don't start there. Start in the place where you want to share something so bad you'll do it every day. A subject you love so much you watch videos about it all the time. YouTube is one place where if you do what you love, the money will come. It all starts with the love.

Year in Review: New discoveries reshape debate over human ancestry
Relationships among early hominids disputed
Courtesy of L. Berger/Univ. of the Witwatersrand
Human evolution appears poised for a scientific makeover, as unexpected and provocative findings have raised new questions this year about two poorly understood periods leading to the emergence of Homo sapiens.
The biggest conundrum comes courtesy of the oldest known DNA sample from a member of the human evolutionary family — a 400,000-year-old leg bone previously found in a cave in northern Spain. A nearly complete sample of maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA linked the bone to the Denisovans, mysterious genetic cousins of Neandertals who lived in Siberia at least 44,000 years ago (SN: 12/28/13, p. 8).

How to Use the Images
Photo 3 was taken after the Green decision and before combining the two schools as one high school.
When the Green decision was made in 1968, three years after the "freedom-of-choice" plan was issued in New Kent County, no whites attended George W. Watkins and 155 blacks attended New Kent School. That left 85% of the blacks in the system at George W. Watkins.
Questions for Photo 3
1. Considering the information provided in the caption above, do you think the student government officers in Photo 2 represented all races attending New Kent School? Explain your answer.
2. Under "freedom of choice" the students in Photo 3 could have petitioned to attend New Kent School. Why do you think they chose to stay at George W. Watkins?
3. Why do you think there were no white students in Photo 3?
4. What do you think the advantages and disadvantages of staying at the George W. Watkins School might have been under the "freedom-of-choice" plan? Refer to Reading 1 and Reading 3.
* The photo on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Photo 3, but be aware that the file will take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Hubble's Panoramic View of a Turbulent Star-making Region
Several million young stars are vying for attention in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of a raucous stellar breeding ground in 30 Doradus, located in the heart of the Tarantula Nebula. Early astronomers nicknamed the nebula because its glowing filaments resemble spider legs.
30 Doradus is the brightest star-forming region visible in a neighboring galaxy and home to the most massive stars ever seen. The nebula resides 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small, satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. No known star-forming region in our galaxy is as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus.
The composite image comprises one of the largest mosaics ever assembled from Hubble photos and includes observations taken by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys. The Hubble image is combined with ground-based data of the Tarantula Nebula, taken with the European Southern Observatory's 2.2-meter telescope in La Silla, Chile. NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute are releasing the image to celebrate Hubble's 22nd anniversary.
Collectively, the stars in this image are millions of times more massive than our Sun. The image is roughly 650 light-years across and contains some rambunctious stars, from one of the fastest rotating stars to the speediest and most massive runaway star.
The nebula is close enough to Earth that Hubble can resolve individual stars, giving astronomers important information about the stars' birth and evolution. Many small galaxies have more spectacular starbursts, but the Large Magellanic Cloud's 30 Doradus is one of the only extragalactic star-forming regions that astronomers can study in so much detail. The star-birthing frenzy in 30 Doradus may be partly fueled by its close proximity to its companion galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud.
The image reveals the stages of star birth, from embryonic stars a few thousand years old still wrapped in cocoons of dark gas to behemoths that die young in supernova explosions. 30 Doradus is a star-forming factory, churning out stars at a furious pace over millions of years. Hubble shows star clusters of various ages, from about 2 million to about 25 million years old.
The region's sparkling centerpiece is a giant, young star cluster (left of center) named NGC 2070, only 2 million years old. Its stellar inhabitants number roughly 500,000. The cluster is a hotbed for young, massive stars. Its dense core, known as R136, is packed with some of the heftiest stars found in the nearby universe, weighing more than 100 times the mass of our Sun.
The massive stars are carving deep cavities in the surrounding material by unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet light, which is etching away the enveloping hydrogen gas cloud in which the stars were born. The image reveals a fantasy landscape of pillars, ridges, and valleys. Besides sculpting the gaseous terrain, the brilliant stars also may be triggering a successive generation of offspring. When the radiation hits dense walls of gas, it creates shocks, which may be generating a new wave of star birth.
The colors represent the hot gas that dominates regions of the image. Red signifies hydrogen gas and blue, oxygen.
Hubble imaged 30 separate fields, 15 with each camera. Both cameras were making observations at the same time. Hubble made the observations in October 2011.

It's Postal 2 - for Oblivion. Another reason to dust off your dvd and get cracking with new weapons, new quests, and a new race - The Dude. Oh and maybe some aliens. And dominatrixes. But no dominatrix aliens. That's a bit much. Including the shovel and The Dude's beloved sidekick: Champ the pit bull, "Postal 2: Oblivion" is a delightful romp through Oblivion's graphic gravy of luscious countryside where the player can meet many races and civilizations .... then go postal on them.

VERGENNES — After more than a year of negotiations, the Addison Northwest Supervisory Union and the teachers' union in the district have come to an agreement. A four-year contract was ratified at the ANwSU board meeting last week, which will provide about 4.25 percent new money each year for professional staff, retroactive to when the previous contract expired in the summer, and a normalized salary scale.
"It's never an easy process, but it was done and both sides ratified the outcome fairly easily,� said school board Chair Samantha Kayhart. "We're pleased with the outcome.�
The contract covers teachers at all four schools in the district: Addison Central School, Ferrisburgh Central School, Vergennes Union Elementary School and Vergennes Union High School. The teacher's union, the Addison Northwest Teachers Association (ANTA), ratified the contract on Nov. 30, and then the ANwSU board ratified it on Dec. 6.

MIDDLEBURY — Voters in the Addison Central Supervisory Union on Jan. 9 will be asked once again to approve funding for a new elevator project and hot water storage system at Middlebury Union High School, only this new request also calls for extensive roof work at the MUHS building. The additional work will push the price tag to $935,5000.
School district voters on Feb. 28 agreed to spend $486,000 to replace the elevator and hot water storage system at MUHS. The current freight-style elevator at the school doesn't meet the state's fire safety laws, while the building's hot water system is 50 years old.
District officials had hoped to see the projects completed this past summer. But all three bids for the work came in at figures that exceeded — by at least $60,000 — the $486,000 available for the projects.

Our Vision
"There is a different way of knowing. The Center for Education, Imagination and the Natural World is about this other mode of consciousness. What you are doing at the Center is fundamental and deeply important at this time in history. The children of the twenty-first century will determine the fate of this planet. The twentieth century was a century of death and destruction. The twenty-first must be a century of life. The Center is giving children integral experiences, validating experiences to give immediacy to the natural world in the course of their own human development as an emerging consciousness in our time."
~ Thomas Berry
The Center for Education, Imagination and the Natural World is a leading advocate and model of a view of educational practice in which intuitive, imaginal and contemplative ways of knowing, in all their unifying capacities, are seen as central to the development of a mutually enhancing relationship between the human being and the natural world. Such a view, if practiced at all levels of learning, can begin to change our understanding of the role we play within this life-bearing process we know as "nature."
Through its programs for educators and children, the Center is a national resource - a remarkable gestating environment - for reflection and practice that is leading to practical outcomes affecting the child, the natural world, and the culture at large.

Deer: Famous For Their Antlers
Have you ever touched an animal with antlers? If you did, you would surely be very astonished, because the antlers emerging from the animal's hairy, soft skin are stony. You can compare an antler to your nails. The hard nails coming out of your soft skin and the way they grow so neatly probably astonish you. The way animals' antlers grow is similar to the way our nails grow, yet they are much thicker, harder and bigger.
Except for the reindeer, in general only male deer have antlers. Once the mating season is over, these antlers drop off and are renewed by others growing from beneath them.
While antlers grow, they are covered by a thin, velvet-like layer of skin. Once the antler is fully-grown, the veins are cut and thus can no longer feed the skin. At this stage, the deer abrades the skin by rubbing its antlers against hard surfaces causing the bony structure to appear. At six years of age, their antlers become fully-developed. After this age, they begin gradually to deteriorate. The length, shape and number of branches differ from one deer to another.
You have probably asked yourself, "Why do deer have antlers?" Antlers are an important weapon for deer. With antlers they can protect themselves from enemies. Sometimes, a predator only has to see the antlers to leave the deer alone.
A male red deer draws a border around its territory by smearing a substance secreted from his scent gland. In this territory, he sets up a herd consisting of female deer (doe). He protects his herd with his antlers from his enemies. Upon the entry of an alien into his territory, he pushes him out of it either by his roars or by attempting to gore him with the antlers.
Allah has created these animals with antlers on their heads, thereby making it possible for them to protect themselves and their herds. If Allah had not given them antlers, these animals would have remained defenceless and helpless against their enemies. A male deer could not protect female deer and thus his herd couldn't be constituted. They would not have a weapon against wild animals.
Possibly, few people would ever think, "I wish some animals had a hard, bony substance having a branch-like structure on their heads, so that they could protect themselves". Even if it were the case, these people would fail to make this wish come true. Only Allah, Who has created all creatures most beautifully, has provided deer and other animals with defence mechanisms that exactly match their needs.
In the Qur'an, Allah reminds us this fact:
Say: 'In whose hand is the dominion over everything, He who gives protection and from whom no protection can be given, if you have any knowledge?' (Surat al-Muminun: 88)
As stated in the following verse, the protector of all creatures is Allah alone.
… Your Lord is the Preserver of all things. (Surah Saba': 21)

The food is just okay with a large quantity ans so-so quality. The price is quite high for the value
Food was bland. For the price....expected more. Drinks were good. Probably won't go back. Unless just going to the bar and having drinks.
Our first time here resulted in a free meal and gift card to give them another chance, so we did. The food here is pretty good (farm to table) but the service is really poor. Both times we waited over 40 minutes to be served our orders. The overall demeanor of the servers was frantic, unorganized as a result not very pleasant. We assumed the operational fiasco centered around the kitchen as they did not appear to be short-staffed in terms of servers. The manager attributed it to busy Sundays (we went on Father's Day) but the restaurant had no wait to be seated and a number of tables were empty. Maybe the key is just go to on non-holidays or during the week.
This was our second time in. Father's Day brunch so I have to give some slack as it was busy. We felt unattended to by the waitress. Got our own popcorn from the bar and had to track her down to pay. Not likely to go back. Spider webs on ceiling. They have a kids menu on website but when we asked for one they said "we don't have any printed".
We loved it and they surprised my Grandad with a gift card which was so kind. We'll definitely go back!
Fathers Day Brunch was celebrated here. Our reservation was at 9:30 am and we were seated immediately in a booth near the front of the restaurant. This was perfect because we were able to enjoy the outdoors without being outside. They had the big doors leading out to the patio open and there was a nice breeze. The coffee was delicious as was our entrees, Lobster Benedict. The reason for 4 stars on food was only because it was room temperature, not hot. The waitress was very attentive and gave my husband a venison jerky stick and a $25 gift card for Fathers Day. That was very unexpected and extremely nice. We'll definitely be coming back! FYI: This was my 3rd time dining here and I've never had a bad experience.
Fathers' Day
Had a very nice dinner and great service. The surf and Turf was very good and frankly the steak was one of the most tender i have had in years.... Onion soup was delicious 1st time visiting and 100% will be back!
Love eating here. We sat outside which was awesome. Food, service and ambiance was great!
Food was good, the service was a bit slow given there weren't many people in the restaurant for lunch. Would absolutely go back and would recommend for others to try it out!
They didn't have enough menus to give to our table of 5 when we were seated, and it took a while for them to bring three more. Our table's veneer had been torn/worn off in several areas; I'm surprise they haven't replaced it. Two tables that were seated after us were tended to (got water and ordered their food) before anyone came to us. Our waitress only showed up when I made an eye contact with who I assume was the manager. Instead of coming over to our table, she went to another part of the restaurant, I assume to find our waitress. This was our first visit and we probably won't return.
Overall experience was fantastic! Food was great!
We arrived and were told we could not be accommodated in main dining area, despite us having a reservation. They said we could just seat ourselves at the bar tables. I reiterated we had a reservation and they said they would see what they could do. They then proceeded to lead us to outside tables with no shade and it was 85 degrees out, not happening. So we sat at a table at the bar. Our server was also the bartender it seemed like. She was inattentive, forgot to two drinks on two separate occasions (there was only 6 of us) and checked on us only once. We had to go up to the bar 3 times when we needed something. The food took awhile and was ok. Again, we had a few problems where we needed our server but she was nowhere to be found. Once we communicated the problems with two dishes, nothing happened. We waited around 10 minutes until we had to chase her down again to get it fixed. I couldn't believe what a terrible experience it was. Then, later that day I received an email from open table that we missed our reservation. Seriously.
Food was great. Service was a little lacking. Was odd to not have any music playing (as a result a neighboring table was playing music on their phone).
Server was awesome, as were the other servers. Super friendly with great recommendations.
Great food, great service!
It felt like a summer night underneath the starlight!
The food would have been better if hot... unfortunately with it being Mother's Day it was crazy busy and the kitchen had trouble getting isync. Will definitely give it a second try!
Let me begin with it was Mothers Day and very rainy/dreary outside so eating in was everyone's only option! They we'rent taking reservations but thank goodness we had one - however we reserved a table at 11 and didn't get seated til past 1130 (they did come around with mimosas while we waited so nice perk). The hostesses weren't the friendliest and we watched them tell people without reservations they couldn't help them. They just weren't very interactive with the hoard of people piling in around the door. Our server was fantastic, efficient, knowledgeable and kind. The food was sub par - omelettes are very small and bland, Benedicts are better, chicken and waffles was good but not extraordinary and Gouda grits were a full 5 minutes behind the rest of the table; the drinks were good but weak (and pricey). Not sure we'll be back for brunch again. Other meals here are much more impressive for the price.
Excellent food as usual, only complaint would be not having any espresso drink options.
Brunch for Mother's Day.
Our second time there.
Love the food
First time we went service terrible but we gave them another chance and went a second time but the service was as bad if not worse than the first
Probably won't go back even though the food is almost worth it
Great place to go near Dulles for great local, farm-to-table food and drink. The Filet was perfect...
Very noisy. Eggs cold, meat tough. Not worth the money.
Good neighborhood farm fresh restaurant in Ashburn
I don't understand all the hype regarding Copperwood. We were sat at 11:30 on a Sunday and the place was dead. That being the case you would've thought it would be a great experience. Our waitress was horrible. We gave her our order for an appetizer and our meals. Well our meals come out and never our appetizer. She clearly wrote it down, but then flipped over the paper to write our main meals. Well, we aren't going to say anything regarding the app since the main meal is already out. She didn't even check on us until we were finished with our meals to then ask if we needed anything. There was no one in the restaurant so she clearly wasn't busy. I compare the breakfast food with Cracker Barrel. Nothing to write home about! I also had a gift card that was given to me by Copperwood for liking there Facebook page. It was clearly in the envelope saying it was from Copperwood. She came back stating she tried it 5 times and it didn't work. I know this isn't her fault, but if you are going to reward someone for "liking" you page, make sure you send them a working gift card. Very poor on the restaurant. Overall, my husband I were not pleased with our experience.
Stopped at Copperwood from previous visits. Great cocktail and bourbon menu. We had planned for a fancier place for our anniversary but this turned out perfectly. Got to sit outdoors with a little fire on and enjoy each other quietly. Our server just knew when to appear and disappear. Great food and excellent service.
Great service and food. The salads were super and I would recommend them. If you love oysters then this is the place to come
Great food and awesome weather.
Good food and drink but a little pricy for what it was.
Service was poor, eggs undercooked, and gave us an undesirable table with no room for plates and food. We had a reservation and while I understand it was a busy day, there were several better tables available. Even after we asked, they couldn't accommodate us. Egg ordered over medium came out undercooked with the clear slimy egg white . Yuck! Had to ask for refills on coffee and water. We've dined here for dinner before and loved it. Brunch was underwhelming all around.
Good food and service but with all sides being separate from entree price, the meal winds up much more expensive than entree prices would suggest
This was not their best effort.
We ordered drinks and after 5 minutes, were told they had run out of mint (for the julep). It took another 7 minutes to get the replacement drink.
I ordered a steak, medium, and eventually, it came but very well done. Apologies all around, they took it back, and when the new steak came if was medium well done. Hardly any pink. I ate it, but did not enjoy, as it was overdone and pretty gristly.
Everyone was sorry and they did not charge for the steak, but i would have preferred to pay for a proper steak.
My girlfriend and I love Copperwood! We've always had amazing dining experiences, from service, to food to drinks and all.. Always nice staff and clean restaurant.
Place wasn't overly crowded yet the acoustics and noise were loud and it took our waitress forever to greet us. We could barely hear, understand what she was saying and in turn she acted like she couldn't hear us or didn't care. Must have been an off night because other people seem to like it. Food was pretty good but nothing to write home about. Might try it again if we can sit out on the patio and have a friendly server.
The food was good, the drinks were great, and bartender Eric was the best. Highly recommend!
I have recommended Copperwood Tavern to our friends. Excellent food and value in a relaxed atmosphere with excellent wine choices.
Seth our server was wonderful in every way imaginable!
Everything here is made from scratch and the breadth of the menu was impressive. We had the lobster appetizer that melted in your mouth.
The salads were huge and dressed properly.
Can't wait to return.
The restaurant has a very nice design, but be advised for larger groups, you will be sitting on a wooden bench. It was not an issue for us, but it might be if you have older individuals in your party. All of the meals in our party of 6 were delicious (salmon was perfect, steak and brussels salad, cheeseburger sliders, huge grilled cheese, grilled asparagus, parmesan frites, 6 cheese macaroni) but all dishes are individually priced. On a Sunday evening there were very few people there. The service was excellent but the food delivery time was a little long, which I believe was mainly due to lack of customers, which is a shame.
Copperwood has great potential, with a large craft beer and wine selection, a great location, nice outdoor patio (which is dog friendly), and a delicious (but small) menu. They should revisit their prices to encourage repeat customers. They need more a lot more volume to have success.
We love farm to table restaurants so we were so excited the try this place. It was the most greasy, over cooked food that we have ever had. The Brussel sprouts were drowning in grease, the spaghetti squash was so over cooked and looked like mush and the filet was the worst cut of meat that I've eve seen. Will never go back.
The food was amazing which improved the rating of our overall experience. The service was lacking for the first 10-20 minutes until we were vocal about it. We only had water even though we ordered drinks, all other tables had their popcorn and drinks were starting to come out. I'm not sure if our server didn't add our drinks or if it was slow coming out. After we told her that we weren't happy with the service thus far, she started acting like she cared. Service improved and the food was incredible. This was my second time here and she was the server last time and she did the same thing last time, just disappeared forever and didn't seem to care about her tables.
Thank you!

After the coffee. Before deciding whether to run for office in New York.
The Skinny: I'm pretty sure I have fewer skeletons in my closet than either Anthony Weiner or Eliot Spitzer so maybe I should throw my hat in the ring to be the next Manhattan borough president or at least chairman of Miramax. I know I have your support! Tuesday's headlines include more drama at Miramax, the latest on the sale of Hulu and an interesting twist in the fight between the Weinstein Co. and Warner Bros. over the title of a movie.
Daily Dose: The Parents Television Council is expected to release a report later Tuesday detailing how television sexually exploits teenage girls. The analysis is a follow-up to a 2010 study the advocacy group did that charged that "real teens are led to believe their sole value comes from their sexuality."
Better than any movie. With its chairman Richard Nanula resigning in the wake of a sex scandal, there's more action behind the scenes than there is on the big screen for indie movie producer Miramax. On Monday, Thomas J. Barrack Jr., founder of Colony Capital, which co-owns Miramax, said he was taking over for Nanula. Miramax, founded by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, was once known for its daring movies that always cleaned up during awards season. Now it is little more than a library. The Los Angeles Times on the latest hurdle for Miramax as it seeks to recapture its past glory.
Who wants Hulu? Satellite broadcaster DirecTV, Guggengheim Digitial Media and The Chernin Group are among the bidders still in the running for Hulu, the online video site co-owned by 21st Century Fox, Walt Disney Co. and Comcast Corp. Time Warner Cable is also interested in Hulu, but rather than buy the company outright it wants to become a partner with the current owners. The latest on the Hulu sweepstakes from the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg.
More than a name change. 21st Century Fox, the new entertainment company that was formerly part of News Corp., is already shaking things up. In an internal restructuring, Twentieth Television, which sells reruns of prime time shows made by 20th Century Fox Television as well as creating shows for daytime TV, will now be housed under 20th Century Fox Television. It previously had been under the Fox Television Stations unit. This may seem like inside baseball but it is noteworthy because it represents more turf for Gary Newman and Dana Walden, the heads of 20th Century Fox Television. Details on the restructuring from the Los Angeles Times and Variety.
You talking to me? Martin Scorsese has been dragged into a legal battle between his fledgling producer daughter Catherine and film company Jumpview Entertainment over a movie the famed director made a cameo in called "Campus Life." There's not enough space here to go into the nitty gritty but the Hollywood Reporter has the details.
Trading a butler for a hobbit? The Weinstein Co. and Warner Bros. are in a legal battle over the former's desire to use the title "The Butler" for an upcoming movie. Warner Bros. holds the rights to that title and won't cut a deal. The New York Post says Warner Bros. is playing hardball because it wants the Weinstein Co. to give up its small stake in "The Hobbit" franchise, which is produced by Warner Bros.' New Line unit.
Inside the Los Angeles Times: Ron Perlman stands out among all the monsters in "Pacific Rim." A new ad campaign for Acura is good news for L.A.'s advertising community.

New Bern aldermen unanimously passed new regulations for city pawn shops Tuesday night to better keep track of possible stolen goods.
New Bern aldermen unanimously passed new regulations for city pawn shops Tuesday night to better keep track of possible stolen goods.
But at least one pawnbroker told aldermen the regulations, which go into effect May 1, are unnecessary.
The new regulations include a $50 initial application fee from pawnbrokers and cash converters and an annual renewal fee of $25.
The amendment to the city ordinance also requires pawnbrokers to report daily pawn transactions along with digital photographs by computer to the police department, and an application and criminal records check.
In addition, the application would have to be reviewed by the Fire Department to determine compliance with fire safety codes and by code enforcement for compliance with zoning, building and development regulations.
Mike Cashwell, owner of Glenburnie Coin and Pawn, said he is a responsible broker who asks questions before making transactions.
�I think there is a misconception that pawnbrokers are trying to hide or trying to help people with their stealing, and that�s not the case because I would lose money if an item was given to me and that item was stolen,� Cashwell said.
Cashwell said he has never received a report from law enforcement with serial numbers of stolen items.
Later in the meeting, Alderman Bernard White asked why a list of serial numbers of stolen items could not be distributed to all pawn shops.
New Bern Police Chief Toussaint Summers Jr. said it would be too cumbersome to keep the list accurate and up to date and it would involve a lot of paperwork. By the time the list is distributed, police might have caught the thief, he said.
Pawnbrokers were caught off guard by the proposal, Cashwell said.
�Pawnbrokers here in Craven County were not consulted at all concerning these pawnbroker fees or the reporting procedure,� he said.
Cashwell also said he has the ability to do the reporting of transactions without using software.
Pawnshops are some of the most regulated businesses in the state, he said.
Cashwell said he already has licenses from city of New Bern, Craven County, the Department of Commerce, federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI. He reports to most of them and has fees associated, he said.
�Why do we need more fees?� he asked. �What services am I receiving for those fees?�
Summers said the license and reporting is required under state law.
�We could do it basically under state law, but it makes it cleaner and shows support of the city if we adopt this ordinance allowing us to do so,� Summers told aldermen.
Summers said there have been problems with thefts and jewelry thefts in the city, and later in the meeting, Alderman Victor Taylor, who supported the regulations, said he was one of the victims of a jewelry heist. Someone stole $10,000 worth of jewelry during a break-in at his home, he said.
�I hate to say it, but not every pawnshop or cash converter is as responsible as the gentleman (Cashwell) who spoke here tonight and I think this will close the loophole,� Summers said.
The fees would be used to pay for the police department�s electronic reporting software that will cost $4,500 and to do background checks, Summers said.
Jacksonville and Wilmington already have the same ordinance.
New Bern has 10 to 15 pawn shops and cash converter shops. The new regulations would only affect those shops in the city, not pawn shops in the county.
Alderman Denny Bucher said he didn�t see the regulations as a penalty on pawn shops but a positive action that would protect them.
Mayor Lee Bettis said the last thing he wanted to do was regulate a business. But he looked at the issue as a mayor and a criminal defense attorney.
Most of the people facing felonies he sees as an attorney start out on drugs and then have to resort to stealing to support their habit and end going to pawn shops to get money for more drugs, Bettis said.
�Lessening the temptation for people, making it a little more difficult for people to succumb to that temptation of needing money, is a good thing,� Bettis said. �It is good for our city. It is good for law-abiding citizens.�
If a pawn shop owner is not in compliance with the new license and reporting regulations by May 1, he could be charged with a misdemeanor, Summers said.

Onslow County Commissioners Paul Buchanan, Barbara Melton Ikner and W.C. Jarman voted to change the distribution of sales tax among towns in Onslow County.
To the editor:
Onslow County Commissioners Paul Buchanan, Barbara Melton Ikner and W.C. Jarman voted to change the distribution of sales tax among towns in Onslow County.
The reality of this decision has become apparent as illustrated in The Daily News article published May 23. The alternative left to the Jacksonville City Council to make up the deficit will mean loss of services and increases in taxes and fees.
The three commissioners� disregard for the welfare of the City of Jacksonville is apparent by the sneaky and late way they passed the redistribution measure.
I still haven�t heard the commissioners explain how property taxes and sales taxes are linked. It makes no sense to me. Jacksonville collects the majority of sales taxes and now gets only 25 percent returned. So, if property taxes and sales taxes are linked as the three commissioners believe, should we not issue property-tax ID cards so higher property-taxpayers will have to pay more sales tax when they buy something? That proposal makes no sense either; but it makes as much sense as linking property and sales taxes to determine tax distribution.
I�d like to thank Commissioners Jack Bright and Lionell Midgett for voting �no� when the redistribution proposal was made.
Jacksonville residents, please remember the three commissioners � Buchanan, Ikner and Jarman � who voted to increase our taxes and diminish services; vote �no� for their re-election.
Richard Roamer

By Any Measure, Trakus a Winner
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, December 14, 2011—There was an interesting online interview last week with Pat Cummings, the business manager of Trakus, without question the best technological advance made to benefit the Thoroughbred industry and its fans this Millennium.
In the piece, Cummings enumerated the benefits of the technology which are myriad: Races easier to follow for professional and novice alike; getting race watchers engaged at a deeper level; a likely favorable impact on handle.
In our view, Trakus makes it possible to objectify the subjective art of trip handicapping, possibly its greatest benefit to serious horseplayers. Cummings then gave a trip handicapping example of two horses emerging from the same race.
One had traveled 50 feet farther than the rival that saved ground. Since 50 feet approximates six lengths, Cummings reasoned correctly that should prove the difference the next time these horses meet, all other factors being equal.
Traditional trip handicappers write their observations into a track program then later review and amplify those notes in replay.
Wouldn't it be nice, however, if weekend warriors, whose life responsibilities do not allow time for watching replay after replay, could know precisely how far each horse ran in any given race, an instant trip note?
Whatever the model, the figures of speed handicappers would improve dramatically using Trakus data. A player who relies on his numbers and having greater confidence in his personal system would become a better--and bigger--bettor. When the player wins, the industry wins.
Hopefully it will not be too long before beaten lengths are replaced by running time for every horse at each point of call. No more hand calculation of fractions. For this to happen, of course, Trakus would need to be in place everywhere. What are the odds?
Prior to relying on speed figures as the basis of my personal handicapping, making and transcribing trip notes into result charts was my life. Consequently, I became a good race watcher. "But who the hell is that moving up between horses?" I often wondered several times a day. With Trakus, I know instantly and with certitude.
Courtesy of Gulfstream Park this year players can enjoy race watching in a traditional context because the track integrates silks into the in-race graphics. Other tracks have used different features, such as ground lost and ground saved by each horse in relation to the race winner.
Either way, Equibase chart callers who create past-performance data now have another tool from which charts and footnotes can be drafted. But no method is completely perfect.
For one, there are discrepancies in running times. Traditionally racing has used a beam-breaking approach which is fine but also subject to the vagaries of gate placement. Improvements have been made in this area, including noting the precise number of feet from starting gate to timing pole.
However, Trakus uses computer chips placed in saddle towels. But the chips are not always placed precisely in the same spot. On balance, the system provides a more precise measure. But the differences between the two methods can be stark, as much as a full second in some cases. So apples must be compared to other apples.
Objections to the new system are largely a matter of style and taste. Some fans have complained the "chicklets" appearing beneath the actual race video is a distraction, turning colorful live racing action into a video game.
Contrarily, most neophytes won't care and will probably decide to enjoy the live action for the spectacle it is. And nothing says that a veteran player couldn't watch a live race and the replay via Trakus.
In an era when nearly 90 percent of the handle is generated off track, racing already is a video game for many. Simulcast regulars no longer need to sit in the front row to follow the action and, more importantly, can see their horse in relation to other horses without having to pan through the field.
The new technology allows fans to have fun beyond the betting vehicle. Tampa Bay Downs and Churchill Downs have shown a jockey's view of a race in virtual replay. Keeneland, Woodbine and Del Mar include ground data in their replay presentations.
A friend asked the other day how long do I think it will be before New York tracks switch to a Trakus presentation.
I said I didn't know, but that it was a big State Racing & Wagering Board press-release deal when video streaming was allowed to continue, that bettors still can't make a superfecta play in a race with a coupled entry or 50-Cent trifectas at a simulcast track that allows it.
Strictly guessing for 2012, I'd made Belmont Park 10-1; Saratoga, even money.

US calls out UN diplomats for coming to budget meetings drunk
- Image 1 of 2

UNITED NATIONS --The United States thinks the United Nations has a drinking problem.
Ambassador Joseph M. Torsella, who represents the U.S. on the U.N.'s budget committee, said Monday that the tense process of negotiating the world body's annual budget is made more complicated by the number of diplomats who turn up drunk.
The U.N. budget is finalized in December, when holiday parties apparently lead to some revelry spilling over into budget negotiations.
The U.S. is making "the modest proposal that the negotiating rooms should in future be an inebriation-free zone," Torsella said during a private meeting of the budget committee. The U.S. mission released a transcript of his remarks.
Some tipsy negotiating partners have left the U.S. "truly grateful for the strategic opportunities," he said.
But Torsella said the committee should "save the champagne for toasting the successful end of the session."

In 1957, Mic Morrow and Kay Meadows met during freshmen orientation at Gardner-Webb College. On Sept. 10, 2011, just four months after reconnecting, Kay and Mic married.
Mic Morrow stood by his wife�s side as she fought for seven years before losing her battle with cancer. Having spent 46 years together, adjusting to life without Shirley was more than challenging.
Blessed with a son and a daughter, their life together had been a happy one. But cancer took Shirley far too early.
Yet somehow, Morrow knew God had not forsaken him.
Kay Meadows married the love of her life after attending Gardner-Webb in the late 1950s. She and Ed Sharpe had known each other since elementary school.
They celebrated their Golden anniversary on Aug. 30, 2008, with their two sons. Kay lost Ed to a heart attack the following year. As she emerged from the grieving process, memories of someone special led her closer and closer to a new chapter.
In 1957, Mic Morrow and Kay Meadows met during freshmen orientation at Gardner-Webb College. Then just 18 years old, their chapel seats were assigned and Kay said they found themselves �conveniently close.� Initially interested in a possible romantic relationship, Morrow quickly noticed a ring on her finger.
�You�re engaged,� he said. �Just my luck."
�A close friendship�
With similar backgrounds, beliefs, goals, aspirations, likes and dislikes, Morrow and Meadows' friendship grew.
�We both respected and understood the significance of the engagement commitment,� Morrow said. �Our relationship at Gardner-Webb became a close friendship.�
A common interest in acting drew Morrow and Meadows together quite frequently as they were cast opposite one another in the Tennessee Williams production �The Glass Menagerie.� Morrow played the part of Jim O�Conner, while Meadows played Laura Wingfield, a couple who discovers that timing is everything.
�Kay was an excellent actress,� Morrow said. �She was also an accomplished musician. I always felt closer to God after spending time with her.�
In addition to their time together at rehearsals, the two enjoyed working together in the college library. During quiet times, they engaged in philosophical discussions about God, life, purpose, and many other subjects.
�As the months passed, our friendship flourished,� said Morrow. �I referred to her as my little sister. In many ways, she was. I had a little sister named Kay who died very young.�
The two spent hours in conversation about spirituality. They often prayed together. Both shared a keen sense that the Lord was central to their friendship. Their bond seemed to strengthen as the year progressed.
�I won�t say goodbye�
The end of the school year arrived quickly. The two friends had to say goodbye. Meadows would not be returning to school. She and Ed would soon be married.
�I was happy for her,� Morrow said. �But I was also sad that our beautiful friendship would be ending.�
In their final minutes together, Meadows grabbed a pen and composed a note in Morrow�s yearbook.
�I won�t say goodbye,� she said. �But having you know full well that out there in the future, our paths will cross again.�
After graduating from Gardner-Webb, Morrow attended Carson-Newman College, where he met and fell in love with Shirley Garrison. They were married a few months after graduation.
�God blessed our marriage with great happiness,� he said.
As he and Shirley raised their children, he worked as an editor and consultant for LifeWay Christian Resources. In 2000, Shirley was diagnosed with cancer. She died in 2007.
�For four years, I was content living life as a single,� Morrow said.
Then on May 15, 2011, as he was returning from church, he received a telephone call that would change his life.
�Mic,� the voice said. �This is Kay.�
Morrow had thought of Meadows often over the past 54 years, but he never thought he would speak to her again.
Meadows had been on the Internet when she saw his name and some articles he had written during his time at LifeWay. A brief biography on Morrow was listed along with the article. It stated that he was a widower, and it also contained a contact number. She had never forgotten him, and was inspired to call. She told him that Ed had died two years previously.
Thrilled to re-establish the bonds of friendship, the two shared several conversations and began to anticipate seeing one another. As providence would ordain, Meadows' granddaughter was about to graduate from high school and she would be attending the ceremony, held in Nashville, Tenn. Morrow offered to pick her up at the airport.
�The days prior to seeing her were filled with anxiety, questions, and anticipation,� he said.
He wondered what it would be like after nearly 54 years. How much had she changed from the red-headed 18-year-old of 1958? Was the deep and loving friendship still there? All anxiety was gone the second he saw her.
�We embraced, kissed, and said the words that had been in our hearts for many years,� Morrow said. ��I love you.��
For Meadows, the reunion represented myriad emotions. As she waited for the moment of their first meeting in more than 53 years, she experienced excitement mingled with a little fear.
�Reconnecting was a little scary at first because I knew that new avenues would open up,� she said. �But meeting Mic was an easy, casual, non-threatening event. It was like an old relationship revived. I felt that no matter what problem that might arise, he would be there for me.�
The months that followed gave them many opportunities to see one another.
�Kay�s prophecy that �our paths would cross again� had come true,� Morrow said.
But this time, he wasn�t going to let her go. Time and distance had not changed his feelings for her. He wanted her to be his wife.
�Circumstances brought us together�
On Sept. 10, 2011, just four months after reconnecting, Kay Meadows Sharpe and Mic Morrow married.
�Circumstances brought us together the first time and God�s design for us was set in motion,� Morrow said.
The connection that was initially based on a beautiful friendship was finally allowed to blossom into a love of eternal commitment. As the Morrows look back upon their initial meeting at Gardner-Webb, they believe they are living proof that �God works in mysterious ways.�
Mic and Kay Morrow now commute between homes in Mt. Juliet, Tenn., and Whittier, N.C.
Mic serves as a contract writer for LifeWay Christian Resources and he leads conferences on discipleship and senior adult ministries. Kay owns a Native American crafts store in Cherokee, N.C., serves as the choir director in her church and participates in theater productions for the Smoky Mountain Playhouse.
Niki Bliss-Carroll is a public relations specialist and staff writer at Gardner-Webb University, and she has previously served as an adjunct professor of public relations for GWU.

With approximately 12,000 people showing up for the icy fun last year, Crystal Cabin Fever is expanding the popular February event.
With approximately 12,000 people showing up for the icy fun last year, Crystal Cabin Fever is expanding the popular February event. And not only is the seventh annual ice display bigger in terms of space, but also the theme of the year is larger than life.
"The theme for this year is dinosaurs. We're going to do about 20 to 30 different dinosaurs. We're also doing some 'Ice Age' and '(The) Flintstones' characters," said Mark Crouthamel, owner of Sculpted Ice Works in Lakeville. "We use about 100 tons of ice; 800 blocks of ice. The biggest sculpture will be near 18 feet tall."
Different theme each year
The event was originally started because many people feel a bit of cabin fever by the time February rolls around. It was also created to help business in a slower month. The original event boasted a life-size cabin. Thousands of people showed up for the fun. Each year, the festival offers a different theme, but the same icy fun with some familiar attractions.
"Crystal Cabin Fever was built originally because winter was slow and to help Sculpted Ice Works. We created the event for self-preservation in the winter. It's turned into a community event," Crouthamel said. "We've built and grown so much since the first one. And the community is jumping on board and offering packages. Rooms and restaurants are filling up, so everyone benefits from the event."
With so many people visiting the festival last year, Crouthamel wanted to open up some more space on the property this year. The museum will now be opened for tours.
"A big thing is the museum tour is open on our property this year. It will help spread people out on the property. We had to blow it out a little bigger this year," he said. "The museum tour is where people can see us harvest ice. We harvest about 30 to 40 blocks a day on average. We're making ice pretty quick on these cold days."
The festival includes live carving demonstrations, ice carving competitions on the weekends and some fun for the kids. Even the adults will love the ice slide.
"We have a great dual-run slide, and this year we've added another slide for the smaller kids," he said. "There is a bonfire outside and snacks. There's also so much to see."
One attraction that has the adults talking is the ice bar with wine tasting. Sculpted Ice Works designs many ice bars for special events throughout the cold weather months.
Antler Ridge Winery of Rome, Pa., stocks the ice bar for this event. The winery offers free tastings and sells wine by the bottle.
"We'll be offering a wide variety of grape wines and fruit wines, and we'll be introducing three new wines — pomegranate wild berry, blackberry merlot and sangria. We'll be bringing all the regular favorites as well. We have about 30 wines now, but we'll have about 20 of them at Crystal Cabin Fever," said Steve Unis, owner of Antler Ridge Winery. "The ice bar is awesome. We love the ice bar."
