STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Before the start of every Penn State football game, students wrap their arms around the people next to them as they sing the Penn State Alma Mater in unison.
But after the events of the past year, students have made a slight modification to the 100-year-old song. When the song reaches its 13th line, thousands of students turn their melody into a shout: "May no act of ours bring shame!"
The line, once sung like any other, acts as a constant reminder of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal that has rocked Penn State to its core since November 2011.
"When we do that, we do it because we feel that the actions were committed by a person who doesn't embody Penn State," Darian Somers, a freshman communications major from Altoona, Pa., said last week. "We, as a student body, had absolutely nothing to do with it and are being wrongfully punished by the court of public opinion outside of [Penn State] and the NCAA."
ONE YEAR LATER: The Sandusky, Penn State scandal
One of the most highly publicized changes on campus was the removal of the 900-pound bronze statue of Joe Paterno's likeness outside of Beaver Stadium this July, previously a popular spot for students and alumni to take photos.The scandal has left its mark on Penn State in a number of other ways over the past year -- both emotionally and physically. Between the crippling NCAA sanctions on the athletic department, a report that alleged top school administrators covered up sexual abuse, and the termination and eventual passing of iconic coach Joe Paterno, Penn State has seen many changes. And around the campus and town, there are many tangible reminders of the impact of the Sandusky scandal.
Penn State president Rodney Erickson has not revealed where the statue is being stored and has not said if it would be placed in a public place for viewing or left in storage. University spokesman David La Torre told USA TODAY Sports this week he could not comment on the status of the statue.
MAILBAG: Submit your college football questions
But the change that garners the most attention and controversy at Penn State is the near universal whitewashing of Paterno's name from areas of student life. From the sub shop in the student union building once known as "Joegies" to "Paternoville", the name of the registered student group that camps outside Beaver Stadium, the once revered Paterno name is disappearing.
Aside from a few downtown shops that still have Paterno tributes posted in windows and an ice cream flavor at the Creamery on campus, the only trace of the once ubiquitous Paterno name is on the school library that he and his wife Sue helped raise $14 million to construct. Joegies is now HUB subs. Paternoville is now Nittanyville.
Student leaders with Paternoville, whose members camp out in tents before each home game, decided to rename the organization Nittanyville shortly after the release of the Freeh Report.
Allen Sheffield, who holds a leadership position in Nittanyville, said the name change was for the purpose of refocusing the attention on the football players who take the field every Saturday.
Sheffield, a junior from Pittsburgh majoring in public relations, said many people involved in Paternoville were angry about the name change, but others understood the officers' reasoning. "My personal opinion of Coach Paterno differs from how he was portrayed during the past year, but I also felt that it was in the best interest of the organization to change the name," Sheffield said.
Lisa Powers, director of the university's Department of Public Information, said the decision to rename Joegies to HUB Subs was made in July, although she noted that the university's Food Services already had been considering a name change because Paterno was no longer coach.
Powers said the Berkey Creamery, located on campus, decided it would be appropriate to keep the Peachy Paterno ice cream flavor on its menu, because it was dedicated during a student competition to honor Paterno's academic contributions and does not have any connection to the football program. She also noted that proceeds from sales of the ice cream flavor are going to a cause that supports victims of child abuse.
Paterno isn't the only former university official whose name has been removed from school facilities. In September, the Penn State Board of Trustees tabled a motion to change the name of the Gary Schultz Child Care Center and will make a decision after the former senior vice president and treasurer's trial.
The request for the name change came from an employee of the child care center who heard safety concerns from parents after the center's sign was vandalized in November, said Thomas Poole, vice president for administration, during the September meeting. The employee of the center also expressed concerns about recruitment if Schultz's name remains attached, Poole said. The staff has begun calling the center the Child Care Center at Hort Woods, which is what supporters have proposed as the new name, Poole said.
Powers also said the university has enacted a number of policies within the last few months to add to the safety and security of the campus, including limiting minors' access to Penn State facilities and limiting use of athletic facilities to student athletes and personnel within the Athletic Department.
In downtown State College, the community continues to support the university. Nearly every storefront window on College Avenue displays signs that read "Proud to support Penn State football" and "Proud to support Penn State academics." The signs, created this year and downloadable from the Hotel State College's Web site, are part of a movement of support for the football program during the first year since 1966 without Paterno at the helm.
More than 10 years ago, State College artist Michael Pilato, 43, created a mural downtown, called "Inspiration," which he updates annually by adding people who personally inspire him. He originally added Sandusky for his work with The Second Mile charity and his impact on Penn State football. He removed the depiction of Sandusky in November after receiving an email from the alleged mother of one of boys Sandusky sexually abused. Pilato said he has never taken a person off of the mural, which is always growing and includes hundreds of people.
In June, Pilato painted sexual abuse activist Dora McQuaid, a Penn State graduate, in the chair that Sandusky previously occupied. He plans to add an employee from the Centre County Women's Resource Center, as well as someone who works for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape.
Pilato has recently made a controversial change on the depiction of Paterno on the mural. He added a "409" marker on the back of Paterno's chair, signifying his 409 wins as head coach. In July, the NCAA vacated all 111 of Paterno's wins from 1998 to 2011 as part of its sanctions against the football team, making his official record stand at 298 wins.
Pilato's painting will continue to evolve, just like the place where his mural is displayed, a place radically changed from a year ago.
"The atmosphere on campus is definitely different since last November," Pilato said. I just really admire the student body's ability to come together though all of this."
Somers said, "We stick together. We are going to get through all of this because we love Penn State, but we also love each other."

Daiya cheese shreds are the newest rage in the vegan community and they are gluten-free! Daiya is a dairy (casein, lactose & whey), soy, gluten and nut-free cheese that comes in cheddar or mozzarella style shreds. Here is some information on how Daiya came about:
Where's the Cheese?
The story began with a love of pizza and a family kitchen. Inventor and vegan, Andre Kroecher would, "spend five bucks on a vegan cheese, put it on a home-made crust, and then chuck the pizza out".
Alchemy in the Kitchen
In 2005 ingredient experiments began! After a few accidents and the odd disaster, Andre began serving his creation to both vegan and non-vegan friends alike, the feedback was motivating. By mid 2007, with the help of friend and co-founder Greg Blake, Daiya was born and the real work started.
You Never Forget a First Impression…
Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California is the largest natural products show in the world, a spring board to success for a company with the right product! Unaware at the time of the stir they were going cause; Andre and Greg purchased a 6000-watt commercial pizza oven, 900 Rocky Mountain 12″ pizza crusts, 120 litres of Rebellious Tomato Sauce, and shipped it all down to Anaheim.
Within hours Daiya was a hit and they couldn't keep up with the demand! All were astonished by the taste and texture. Consumers phoned, blogged, texted, and tweeted friends raving about Daiya, a revolution in non-dairy cheese. By the end of the Expo, Daiya had prepared and served over 8000 slices of pizza, and were presented with the 2009 VegNews Magazine Best of Show Award — high tribute indeed for a product that was yet to hit the market. The Daiya fan base had begun.
The phone continues to ring off the hook, and the question remains the same from consumers and retailers alike; "How can I get Daiya deliciously dairy free products?"
Several gluten-free products on the market are made with Daiya cheese, including Amy's Kitchen gluten-free rice mac & non-dairy cheese and Zpizza's gluten-free pizza (if ordered with non-dairy cheese). Here is a great gluten-free recipe from Celebrity Chef of the Month – Chef J Scot Jones of VegiTerranean in Akron, Ohio. VegiTerranean is Chrissie Hynde's new vegan restaurant. The recipe is for Hot Italian Banana Peppers Stuffed with Fresh Herb Risotto and Daiya Mozzarella with Fresh Basil Lime Sauce and looks out-of-this-world!
I purchased the Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds on my last trip to Whole Foods. They were about $4.50/package. I have used the shreds on my nachos and in a wrap and have been very impressed. The "cheese" melts much like real cheese does and has a great flavor. These are a great soy & gluten-free option for those who have additional food allergies or follow a vegan diet.
Daiya Shreds can be found in these locations.

Think Geek recently came out with this fashionable sci-fi dress that combines the storyline of BBC's series Doctor Who with the look and style of a Vincent Van Gogh painting. The end result is a super stylish dress that combines geeky pop culture with a classic form of painting.
Van Gogh was known for his modern perspectives and swirly brushstroke painting style. In this dress by Think Geek Van Gogh's style is infused with the themes of Doctor Who to create a wearable dress design that fuses two very different aspects of pop culture. The dress features a print of the infamous navy blue time traveling phone booth, called the TARDIS, depicted in Van Gogh's outlandishly swirly painting style. The result is a fun and avant-garde take on sci-fi fashion.

Now, we all dream about selling our book with a huge advance and Brad Pitt/Gorge Clooney/Alex o'Loughlin/Insert the Name of Your Favorite actor fighting over the lead role and dying to meet YOU! Alright . . . now let's come back to reality and talk about something that can really happen after you sell your book . . . managing your audio rights. Once again, Sara is here to offer us great advice.
Audio Books Sales
Happy New Year!
Audio Books and how I manage audio sales for my clients…
Here's an overview of one of the most important subsidiary rights for a fiction author: Audio Books. Typically I spend 10% of my week reading slush pile and 90% of my week supporting current clients. A huge chunk of that time is spent pitching, negotiating, auditing and promoting subsidiary rights sales. Most agents don't sell your book into print and then sit back drinking martinis (tempting though it sounds). Instead, there is a whole world of activity going on and many authors never see these details. So, here's an inside glimpse at how I work audio rights sales.
Late 2011 was marked (at least in my experience) by an increase in pressure from publishing houses to retain audio rights. Audio books are selling well right now – especially driven by an increase in digital downloadable audio sales. Hard copy audio includes the CDs one may buy in a bookstore while digital downloadable audio are those we press "buy" from our e-devices in a similar way we buy ebooks. Authors are finding the audio rights to their books very valuable right now because of this trend.
If our agency retains audio rights, then it's my job as an agent to shop your book for an audio sale independently. If the publishing house has acquired audio rights (true in the vast majority of my sales in 2011), then my job is to follow up with the publishing house to make sure THEY sell audio rights.
Here are some of my tasks for clients whose audio rights we control. First, I make a list of acquiring editors at various audio publishers (including Audible, Brilliance Audio, etc). I compose an email introducing the book (including the pitch, information on the publisher, the projected print run, early reviews and publicity) and I email the proposal to those editors. Sounds like a book submission, yes? Then, I spend anywhere from one to six months following up and hoping for an offer. Once there is interest, I negotiate the offer and audit the contract. One important aspect of the process is managing the production elements – for example, we try to arrange it so authors have consultation on the voices used and pronunciations in the final product. On the back end, it's my job to watch sales and audit the royalty statements. Audio rights are one reason my work week fills up so quickly!
If the publishing house retains audio, then once a month I contact them to ask "any audio sales yet? Anything I can do to help?" It's their job to pitch, but it's my job to make sure that pitch happens. To reassure you authors out there – audio companies rarely differentiate between books pitched by agents and books pitched by publishers. The one major exception to that rule is Harlequin who has a wonderful relationship with Audible. Many Harlequin novels are picked up by Audible just because they are with that house (of course, this means Harlequin usually retains audio for themselves).
How does the money work? In general (and of course there are a billion variables and exceptions) – an author makes more money if the agent retains audio rights and sells those audio rights independently. Audio companies typically pay an advance and royalties on sales and if your agent sells directly, you keep 85% of those monies (and the agent keeps 15% just like when selling print rights). If the publishing house retains those rights, then they keep a percentage on top of that. Either way, a subsidiary right sale means further income on your book. This is one reason agents spend so much time negotiating these rights. For the record, all this time I spend on audio is similar to the time I spend on film rights and foreign rights.
So, why would we ever sell audio to the publishing house? For one thing, it's become a deal breaker in many cases. There are now publishing houses that only offer for a book if the deal includes print, electronic AND audio. Authors may ask, "well isn't it the job of the agent to fight for those rights?" Yes – that's absolutely true. I'm a good agent though and the majority of my sales in 2011 granted audio to the publishing house. Naturally, there are some benefits to going with the publisher. For example, you all know that authors earn royalties on their books only after the advance is earned out, yes? Well, when the publishing house sells a book to audio themselves, payment is credited toward the advance and the author is that much closer to earning out. So, an audio sale via publisher means you are closer to earning royalties and that's a very good thing (both from an income perspective and for the profit and loss statement at the publisher). Also, there is some evidence that publishers are willing to pay a higher initial advance when audio is included. An offer for $20,000 for print MIGHT turn in to $25,000 for print and audio.
One important thing to note when selling rights to the publishing house: As the agent, I ask for a contractual reversion of audio rights. What that means is if the publishing house has not successfully sold audio rights after a set amount of time, those rights revert to us. If that happens, my next step in the process is to take over shopping the rights and start back at step one. This reversion allows us a second chance at shopping the book. I don't always succeed in getting that reversion, but I sure do try.
Finally, here are the important things to remember: whether the author retains audio sales or the publishing house retains audio sales, the important step is to make sure your book is PITCHED to audio companies. If we retain audio, then I shop it aggressively. If the publishing house retains audio, then I follow up aggressively with them. In either case, my job is to make sure you get every chance possible to make that sale. Three good questions to ask your agent include "who owns audio" "is my book being pitched for audio" and "if we've sold audio to the publishing house, will there be a reversion of those rights after a specific amount of time?"
May 2012 continue to be a year of profitable audio books! Cheers!
Whew! Sara started the year off with a bang-up discussion. The forum is open – what do you want to ask her?
On Friday, Laurie Schnebley Campbell wants to talk to you about the tricky parts. Are you game?
And for one lucky commenter, Sara is giving away a copy of CRASH INTO YOU by Roni Loren.
Brynn LeBreck has dedicated herself to helping women in crisis, but she never imagined how personal her work would get, or where it would take her. Her younger sister is missing, suspected to be hiding from cops and criminals alike at a highly secretive BDSM retreat–a place where the elite escape to play out their most extreme sexual fantasies. To find her Brynn must go undercover as a sexual submissive. Unfortunately, The Ranch is invitation only. And the one Master who can get her in is from the darkest corner of Brynn's past.
Brynn knows what attorney Reid Jamison is like once stripped of his conservative suit and tie. Years ago she left herself vulnerable only to have him crush her heart. Now she needs him again. Back on top. And he's all too willing to engage. But as their primal desires and old wounds are exposed, the sexual games escalate–and so does the danger. Their hearts aren't the only things at risk. Someone else is watching, playing by his own rules. And his game could be murder."

Playing by the rules isn't a guarantee, sorry. We have to prioritize at some point or we'll never get it done. It seems like typically we do that when we're past the point where we had originally planned to release and only do it because of that pressure. I would have flipped the priority of the two top items (I'd rather have writeable CTE than a new listen/notify), but that doesn't change that I think they're under SR. I'm gonna have to +1 bumping the lower priority items in favor of having an on-time release. To be honest, and I don't intend this as a slight to anyone, but I'm already worried that just getting HS into a state where everyone is comfortable releasing it to the wild and having users trust their data to 8.5 is going to be a serious effort between now and release. Perhaps if we discover HS and SR go in alot more easily than expected we could revisit the decision to bump things, but I don't like encouraging false hope. Would things really happen that way? I tend to doubt it, since I think after we get HS and SR done there's going to be an appropriate push for beta. Just my 2c from reading the list and history. I'm happy to be wrong. Thanks, Stephen

The provincial government and Kruger were working Monday night to finalize a 90-million dollar loan to support Corner Brook Pulp and Paper.
The money was outlined in this year's provincial budget but was contingent on Kruger reaching agreements with its unions. The final union, employees of Deer Lake Power, ratified its collective agreement on Monday.
Natural Resources Minister Tom Marshall tells CBC News he spoke with Joe Kruger Monday night to get the paperwork approving the loan signed.
The money will be used to help keep the Corner Brook mill in operation.

The couple of Texas, were walking on the beach in Mexico, when they were suddenly dragged to death by a giant wave.
Richard and Nancy Culpepper, were pulled underwater as they were walking along the beach in Cabo San Lucas, just hours after they arrived.
"A rogue wave came and washed them out to sea," the couple's son, Ben Culpepper, said.
The couple was pulled from the water by a navy boat, but they could not be saved.
Richard, 86, and Nancy, 83, met while they were students at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio.
They got married when she was 17 and he was 20 years old, and they were now celebrating 66 years of life together.
The couple not only lived together, they also worked together. They were the owners of the Culpepper's Cleaners chain. A few years ago, they handed the business over to their children.

Despite being the birthplace of major figures like Conrad Aiken and Flannery O'Connor, Savannah doesn't have a reputation as an especially literary town.
But a flurry of recent news on the literary front might change that image, somewhat at least.
Adam Davies, a SCAD professor and author of two previous novels, has received considerable praise and press for his latest effort, "Mine All Mine."
The comic thriller about art thieves certainly enchanted a reviewer with "Vanity Fair," who said the "characters are addictive, and its tangled plot lines tie into a neat clove-hitch-knot at the finale, making this Davies' best book yet."
The film version of Davies' first book "The Frog King" is still listed as a 2009 release on the Internet Movie Database.
Former AASU professor William Martin recently published his first novel, "Time is the Fire: A Novel of the Great War." Martin will be on hand to sign books Saturday, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Barnes & Noble at Oglethorpe Mall.
"Time is the Fire" tells the story of a wealthy Georgia family caught up in the international conflagration of World War I.
Savannah native Ellen Melaver's play "Not Waving" was performed this summer at the prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival. Telling the story of three different pairs of beachgoers, the play impressed a reviewer from "The Boston Globe" with its tension between complexity and simplicity: "Six people, three stories, one beach. It's not a lot, and it's just enough."
Evan Smith, another Savannah native, will see his new play "The Savannah Disputation" produced early next year by Playwrights Horizons in New York. Exploring the confrontation of a Catholic spinster and a young Pentecostal missionary, the play will be directed by Walter Bobbie, who won a Tony for his direction of the Broadway revival of "Chicago."
So, readers, what have I missed?

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh decided against attending the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting summit as he was pressed by "competing sentiments" in India about outstanding issues with Sri Lanka and domestic compulsions like polls in five states, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid has said.
"I imagine a lot of things were factored in," Khurshid told CNN in an interview when asked why the Prime Minister did not attend the CHOGM in Colombo.
"We are now into five elections and important elections, the last round of elections before the general elections some time in the middle of next year. We are also handling some very, very critical economic issues including issues which are far-reaching reform issues, some of which will come before the next session of Parliament that's now a few weeks away," Khurshid said, explaining the reasons for Singh's absence at the summit.
"And of course, there were competing sentiments in the country about some outstanding issues with Sri Lanka, particularly on the rehabilitation and reconstruction that's imperative after the end of the war," Khurshid said in an apparent reference to the opposition to Singh's presence at CHOGM by political parties in Tamil Nadu.
"I think the totality of things that he took into account persuaded him not to come and that he would send a team instead, headed by the foreign minister of the country. So here I am," Khurshid, who is leading the Indian delegation at the Colombo summit, said.
Apart from Singh, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Mauritian counterpart Navin Chandra Ramgoolam have also chosen to keep away from the summit citing the "poor" human rights record of Sri Lanka.
Khurshid, talking about Sri Lanka and the phase it is going through, said "I think what happened in this country (Sri Lanka) for 27 years is something that nobody can discount....We have suffered as far as that tragedy."
"But we need to move on. I think that's the spirit in which everybody has to approach this, which is not to forget and to forgive everything, but to find the optimal level of truth and reconciliation," Khurshid said.

Behind the stand-up image of doting dad revered actor, there was a lifelong struggle with drugs and alcohol.
The Hollywood star, who committed suicide on Monday following a long struggle with severe depression, had often admitted to a hard partying lifestyle, particularly on the comedy circuit in the seventies and eighties.
He's also said to have claimed that he was naturally so manic that cocaine helped him to keep calm and later joked that the drug was "God's way of telling you you are making too much money."
He also famously said: "You're only given a spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
And was so keen to keep that spark alive he was desperate to perform in front of adoring crowds - even if he wasn't scheduled to be.
British stand-up comedian Alexei Sayle met the actor at the Comedy Store in London in 1979. He told Radio 4 that he had a "terrible compulsion to perform".
One night he turned up and claimed David Bowie was there to see him in order to get in before offering to buy the club.
Just before his first son Zak was born in 1983, Robin quit cocaine and alcohol and he stayed sober for 20 years.
But in 2003 he started drinking again while filming on location in a small town.
In an interview with the Guardian given in 2010, he was quizzed about why he began drinking again.
"It's just literally being afraid. And you think, oh, this will ease the fear. And it doesn't," he replied.
Though he said he would never touch cocaine again. Why? "I knew that would kill me."
"No. Cocaine – paranoid and impotent, what fun. There was no bit of me thinking, ooh, let's go back to that. Useless conversations until midnight, waking up at dawn feeling like a vampire on a day pass. No."
He later went to rehab and was reportedly still going up until his death.
The 63-year-old actor was found hanged at his home in California on Monday. He left behind his children Zak, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody, 23, as well as his wife of three years Susan Schneider, who has been left "utterly heartbroken" by her husband's death.
She told the New York Times newspaper: "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one if its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken.
"On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope that the focus will not be on Robin's death but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."
Robin's daughter Zelda has also posted a touching tribute to her father on Instagram.
She posted a quote from 'The Little Prince' writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which read: "You - you alone have the stars as no one else has them ... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars are laughing, when you look at the sky at night. You - only you - will have stars that can laugh."

On the Hill: Caral Ni Chuilin's orchestral manoeuvre
Culture Minister Caral Ni Chuilin cannot be accused of an over-indulgence in the arts.
She has never been to a theatre show since taking up office, does not read novels much, and admitted she had never been to a performance by the Ulster Orchestra.
Except – as the Belfast Telegraph revealed – she has.
And when it comes to explaining why the Sinn Fein minister never realised some will view it as a performance akin to dancing on the head of a pin.
For On The Hill can now disclose it turns out the Culture chief did not count an event involving the Ulster Orchestra as being one of their concerts.
She undoubtedly was present when it performed at a Burns Night event two years ago.
Then in answer to a written question from Michelle McIlveen, the DUP chair of the Stormont committee which monitors the Arts and Culture Department, she said she had not been to an Ulster Orchestra gig.
But a source close to the minister has now told On the Hill: "While the Burns Night event included the Orchestra, it was not solely an Ulster Orchestra event.
"The minister was only being strictly honest in saying she had not been to a concert involving solely the Ulster Orchestra."
The Ye Banks And Braes event, which also featured Scots singer-songwriter Eddi Reader, was however part of the Ulster Orchestra's 2012 season.
As one woman who attended the event joked: "Perhaps she thought that Eddi Reader just had a very BIG backing band!"
The explanation may not be sufficient to satisfy the committee which was also told the minister has never attended a show at the Lyric, Grand Opera House, MAC or Waterfront theatres.
Ms McIlveen said: "I would have expected that the minister, given her priorities of promoting social inclusion and combating deprivation, would take the lead in encouraging participation and involvement in the arts."
But Ms Ni Chuilin's department also hit back: "The minister has a full and varied diary (and) personally oversees a huge range of high-profile events which have have included Derry City of Culture; the World Police and Fire Games; the launch and development across the North of an Irish language initiative and a number of high profile commemoration events as part of the Decade of Centenaries."
Five things we learnt this week
1 Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness made clear Dr Richard Haass was not a representative of the United States government in his capacity as chairman of the multi-party talks on flags, parades and the past.
2 Northern Ireland's 26 councils have received over 10,000 complaints about animal welfare since new legislation came into force almost two years ago.
3 Households across Northern Ireland are to receive leaflets about the relevance of the local government reforms.
4 Plans to redevelop Londonderry's old Waterside railway station (closed in 1980) have been put on track by Transport Minister Danny Kennedy.
5 Finance Minister Simon Hamilton and Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster have completed a round of discussions with our seven largest banks.

French Vineyard Honeymoon
Hotel Feature, Travel |
With one of my best friends (Summer from Grey Likes Weddings) getting married this week at the beautiful Sunstone Winery, I can't help but have vineyards on the brain! Today I want to share two of my favorite French getaways for those looking for a romantic, wine country, escape post-wedding!
The Les Sources de Caudalie is in the rural part of France and has everything from a full-service health spa to golf driving-range on site! You can rent bikes to explore the grounds or stay on the property and enjoy the outdoor tennis courts and swimming pools. Everywhere you look seems like you're in a postcard so definitely don't forget a camera!
The Chateau de la Barre is filled to the brim with incredible antiques, art, history, and beauty. If you're wanting a honeymoon that is filled with both relaxation and adventure, then you definitely want to check this place out! It's less than 2 hours from the buzzing city of Paris but is still a unique, historical chateau with luxurious rooms and a breathtaking property.
And in both these places, of course, is some of the best French wine! So get your toasting glasses and passports ready!

Prep gets 2 wins, Warde 1 in 4-way boys golf match
Updated 11:59 pm, Thursday, May 1, 2014
Fairfield Prep, which finished fourth in the 2013 CIAC Division I boys golf championships, was playing its second home match of the season on Thursday afternoon but was hosting its first competition on the traditional home course it shares with Fairfield Warde. The Jesuits beat two of three opponents and the Mustangs defeated one of three at the Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield in a four-way competition along with Greenwich (third Div. I) and Hamden.
The Cardinals improved to 10-2 overall and 7-0 in the FCIAC by outscoring Prep, Warde and Hamden with a 150 total. Prep (164) beat Warde (169) and Hamden (185) to move to 4-3 overall and 2-0 in the SCC. The Mustangs' losses to Greenwich, seeking its third straight conference title, and Prep and win over the Green Dragons left their records at 7-5 overall and 6-3 in the FCIAC.
Paul Pastore, of Greenwich, was the medalist by shooting an 35. Sophomore Andrew Sciarretta, who shared the Div. I individual championship last year, was Prep's top scorer with a 39. Junior Tom Gannon (39), playing at No. 4, had the low score for Warde (18th Div. I).
On April 22, Prep outshot Xavier 157-168 at the Country Club of Fairfield. Following four more matches at Brooklawn, the Jesuits end their home schedule by playing Staples at the Patterson Club. But they consider Brooklawn their home course.
"Being that we both play here at Brooklawn, (Warde coach Bob Bigonette) and I were talking a couple of years ago and agreed to make an effort to schedule one of our matches outside the league to be against each other," said Prep coach Robert Bernier. "It's always good to play against teams you don't typically play against. Every now and then we play teams in the FCIAC like Greenwich and Ridgefield, and we play Staples every year."
Matches against Prep will be attractive for at least two more years with the Jesuits featuring Sciarretta, who went as low as 36 in a round at Brooklawn a year ago. "It was not quite as good as I wanted," Sciarretta said, "but I'm not too upset about it. I just need to stay positive and get ready for the next match, and see if I can get it lower.
"I used my irons pretty well from the fairways. My driver off the tees was not too straight," Sciarretta said. "That put me in a couple of bad spots. And I probably could have made a few more putts."
Bernier said having an elite player serves as motivation to the rest of the Jesuits. "I think all of them would like to be like him in golf," Bernier said. "All of them want to chip in and not let it be `The Andrew Show.' "
Warde's No. 1 player, junior Tyler Mazut did not enjoy the start he was seeking but was pleased with how he finished up in scoring 44. "I started out rough but finished up strong," Mazut, a junior, said. "I just tried to hit the greens in regulation, and that's what I did to finish up."
Bigonette has been pleased with the strides taken by his young team this spring. "We still have plenty of room to improve. We're a pretty inexperienced squad," Bigonette said. "I think after a few more matches under our belt, we'll start to improve."
Gannon and Dan Levy (43), at No. 3, each played the fifth match of his high school career on Thursday, Bigonette said.

Green policies blamed for jump in bills
British households and industry face hefty increases in their water and electricity bills in 2005, the likely date of the next election, to pay for the government's green policies, it emerged yesterday.
Water and sewerage customers in England and Wales could be forced to pay more than the 30% extra in real terms over the five years from April 2005, originally foreseen by regulator Ofwat. It follows tough new environmental guidelines from ministers.
Business bodies warned that industry could see their power bills rise by up to 30% - with a knock-on effect on domestic consumers - if the government sticks to its plans to enforce a 16.3% cut in greenhouse gases under an EU carbon emissions trading scheme that takes effect on January 1, 2005.
After a serious cabinet row on electorally-sensitive price increases with Gordon Brown, environment secretary Margaret Beckett yesterday issued long-delayed guidance on environmental improvements in water quality.
The guidance came six weeks late, prompting Ofwat to warn that it could bring delays to the tight timetable for the five-year price review.
Companies have pointed to investor fears over the resultant uncertainty.
The guidance, industry sources said, would increase the five-year investment ear-marked by water and sewerage companies above the £19.5bn originally planned -and far above the £15bn suggested to Ms Beckett by Philip Fletcher, Ofwat director-general, which would have cut the price increases to 25%.
Both industry and Ofwat said it was too early to assess the impact on bills but Mr Fletcher said: "Given the cost pressures faced by the companies, customers in general should expect bill increases."
Ms Beckett, accused earlier of being a captive of the "green lobby", said in her guidance: "It is already clear from representations from customers and companies and from the advice that I have received... that there is every prospect of significant real price increases in 2005 to 2010."
But with average bills already set to rise from £234 this year to £306 in 2009, she added: "I am concerned about the effect of water bills, especially on those least able to pay.
"Changes to our policies on drinking water and the environment cannot avert increases but, in a climate of rising water bills, I have closely scrutinised the need for and benefits of further policies to improve water companies' standards."
The Environment Agency originally urged Ms Beckett to approve a £26.5bn, fall-back investment programme driven by new EU regulations on drinking and bathing water.
Chairman Sir John Harman welcomed measures to stop pollution from storm sewerage overflows, protect wetland wildlife sites and control leaks but regretted the government's failure to adopt more rigorous environmental standards elsewhere.
"These costs are being deferred, not avoided," he said. But he insisted that while bills would have to rise "to an extent" to reverse damage caused by the industry, this was also prompted by rising overheads and improved drinking water.
Industry body Water UK said it was pleased that Ms Beckett had made capital spending on replacing and repairing ageing pipes and sewers her top priority.
But ministers came under fire from both the CBI and EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, over their ambitious plans for CO2 trading which, the government says, should increase power bills by no more than 6%.
Industrial and retail customers, who already face a combined £1.5bn bill over 10 years to rebuild the grid system and hefty increases to meet the switch to renewables, will pay considerably more - 10% to 30% - than government forecasts, the two bodies said.
The EEF said UK power prices would surge faster than in Europe unless ministers persuaded other EU states to adopt its more stringent standards and urged a delay to the new scheme.
"While the rest of Europe drags its heels, Britain's manufacturers are going to have to run much faster to meet the UK's ambitious target," said Martin Temple, EEF director-general.

An ARIA awards spokeswoman would not confirm Minogue's appearance tonight but said arrangements had been made in case the star decided to attend.
"There's a seat and table waiting for her," the spokeswoman said.
Minogue has received six nominations, the same number as Kasey Chambers and Alex Lloyd, for tonight's ceremony at Sydney's Superdome.
Other performers at tonight's star-studded event will include reality TV star Kelly Osbourne, country music golden girl Kasey Chambers, Holly Valance and Alex Lloyd.
Australian rock act silverchair (silverchair) also have been confirmed to perform.
silverchair frontman Daniel Johns has returned from the US, where he has spent the past six months receiving intensive treatment for his debilitating reactive arthritis, to perform at the event.
More than 3,500 fans snapped up all the event's publicly available seats forcing organisers to release an additional allocation of tickets yesterday, which are selling through Ticketek.

PG&E partnering on 'Smart Grid'
Published 4:00 am, Monday, October 5, 2009
When President-elect Obama outlined his ambitious proposal in January for a stimulus package to get the nation's economy back on track, he called for "updating the way we get our electricity by starting to build a new smart grid that will save us money, protect our power sources from blackout or attack, and deliver clean, alternative forms of energy to every corner of our nation."
Now the Bay Area has an opportunity to help lead the way to a smarter electric grid - and a stronger economy - by taking advantage of some of the $4.5 billion in funding set aside for so-called Smart Grid projects in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Many utilities are competing for these funds, but only a few have a winning combination of strong technology, community partners and a project that pushes the frontiers of current practice.
"Smart Grid" is a vision of a future electrical system that uses advanced communications, computing and automated control technology to make the electric grid more efficient, reliable and friendly to renewable energy. For example, a Smart Grid would automatically and flexibly manage energy storage and customer demand to balance changes in available generation, particularly wind and solar power that fluctuate widely.
To pursue this national vision, Pacific Gas and Electric Co., technology leaders IBM and Cisco Systems, Stanford University and the city of San Jose have applied to the U.S. Department of Energy for a $42.5 million grant to pursue a state-of-the-art Smart Grid project to help manage both the energy customers consume and the clean power they produce with solar panels. This innovative customer energy management project will provide 75,000 business and residential consumers with on-premise energy monitors so that they can save money by shifting energy use to off-peak periods, when rates are lower, or by reducing consumption altogether.
The project will also help PG&E handle more clean, renewable solar power generated by our customers from rooftop or backyard panels. San Jose, a partner in the project, is one of the cities with the most solar panels in PG&E's service area.
PG&E's grid already connects to nearly 40 percent of all customer solar panel capacity in the United States. As the utility adds more, it must deal with the fact that solar output fluctuates erratically because of passing clouds or changing weather, which can cause voltage changes. PG&E will deploy smart sensors on its power lines to detect and help manage those changes, allowing the utility to add more solar and other intermittent renewable energy sources without sacrificing service reliability or quality.
By promoting cleaner and more efficient energy use, our customer energy management project directly supports the Obama administration's push for Smart Grid infrastructure that will pay lasting social dividends. A grant of federal stimulus money would accelerate this technology development locally and put people back to work in green jobs.
Just as the Bay Area pioneered microprocessors, personal computing and the Internet, we need to position ourselves to pioneer breakthrough clean technologies that can make consumers a driving force in environmental sustainability. The customer energy management project is one good place to start.
