Dummies Guide to CR Community Radio and RSL Restricted Service Licences
If you are new to the subject, then we hope you will find this useful. It is written from Associated Broadcast Consultants' direct experience of many community radio broadcasts. We can't provide all the answers here, but we do aim to point out the main aspects you need to be aware of, and some guidance on the best approach (in our experience). Naturally this advice is provided free of charge in good faith, and only you can choose whether or not to follow this advice.
There is a long list of quite diverse stuff that needs to happen. Please don't be daunted by this – it does not have to be done all at once, and if some areas are unfamiliar to you then try and find someone with experience of that kind of thing. Many hands make light work.
To find out more, simply expand each section below by clicking on the blue link text.
CR vs RSL – What's the difference? …About Ofcom FM broadcast licences…
RSL, or Restricted Service Licences are a special type of licence that Ofcom may issue. There are several "flavours" of RSL, but short-term (S-RSL) is the key one which permits establishment of temporary stations upto 28 days at a time. They are regarded as a kind of "stepping-stone" to applying for full-time Community Radio (CR) licence. Although unusual, it is permissible for RSL stations to make a profit, unlike CR licences. This is possibly why RSL licences cost so much compared to CR licences. There are many rules and regulations around RSL licences – you can find out all the details at the Ofcom website here: Ofcom RSL section
CR, or Community Radio licences are a step-up from RSL licenses. A CR station may broadcast every day for the duration of the licence (typically 5 years). A CR station must be operated on a not-for-profit basis, furthermore it is necessary to make "Key Commitments" about what you will do to enhance your local community. These Key Commitments become part of the licence conditions and are rigorously upheld by Ofcom. To make things trickier, no single source of revenue can exceed 50% – thus even if you have a thriving local advertising market, you are still going to need to find other ways to raise money. If the coverage area of the CR station overlaps one of the smaller ILR (Independent Local Radio) commercial stations, then the rules on advertising are even tighter.
In April 2011 Ofcom announced a new, 3rd round of licencing for CR licences on top of the 200 or so already awarded in the years before. Invitations for licence bids are invited on a regional basis according to the Ofcom Community Radio timetable. Once awarded, CR stations have a grace period of up to 2 years to get on air, after which the licence is revoked if they have not managed to get on-air. You can find out all the details of CR Community Radio licences and get the application form at the Ofcom website here: Ofcom Community Radio section
Organisation …Organisational structures for community radio…
In theory a very skilled individual might be able to run a CR Community Radio or RSL station on their own. This is not a good idea for two main reasons:
- You may think you know it all, but in reality it is quite unlikely that you will have the skills to cover everything from technical, organisational, programming, sales, finance, complaints, volunteering, community engagement etc etc.
- Even if you do know it all, it is quite a lot of work so it is unlikely you will have enough time to do it all!
So step 1 in your CR Community Radio or RSL project is to assemble a small team of keen individuals with complementary skills. They do not need to know about radio, but one or two with some experience would be helpful. At this early stage keep it small and pick people you know you can rely upon to deliver when they say they will do something.
As the project develops you are likely to pick-up more people. At some stage you will need to establish a formal organisation with a constitution, hold meetings with minutes, have a budget and accounts, and start thinking about policies and procedures (eg disciplinary, complaints, children and dependent adults, expenses etc etc). It sounds boring, but nevertheless it is important. In addition, if you intend to apply for grants, most bodies will request evidence that you are a properly constituted organisation with proper governance and control – after all they have a duty to ensure that the money they distribute is spent wisely so they will want to reassure themselves that they are not giving any money to cowboys or fraudsters! Fortunately Associated Broadcast Consultants can help you on all this with our Policies and Procedures pack for Community Radio broadcasters
We are not experts in company law and finance, but below we briefly review the pros and cons of three common options for CR Community Radio or RSL Community Radio stations below. Also there is some excellent help and advice available on the internet such as this document Good Governance – A Code for the Voluntary and Community Sector
- Board of Trustees is probably the simplest organisational structure to use. You may choose to organise yourselves for example with a Chairman and a board of Trustees. This is certainly better than nothing! Step one is to draw-up a constitution that states what you are, and what and how you will achieve your aims. There are template documents available on the internet, and your local council may have someone whose job is to help and advise voluntary organisations get started. The key drawback with this type of organisation is that the Trustees are jointly and severally liable – meaning that if it all goes horribly wrong, any lenders or creditors can recover the whole indebtedness from any one of you. The debtors are left to sort out their respective contributions between themselves. Although it may seem unlikely or pessimistic, are you prepared to give your time voluntarily and then to risk everything you own in the event for example of a tragic accident or a presenter libelling someone on-air?
- Community Interest Company (CIC) is a special type of limited company that may not make a profit, and its assets are locked so that they cannot be used for profit by company members. You appoint some Directors and register your organisation with Companies House, paying a small annual fee and adopting and filing your "Memorandum and Articles of Association" (equivalent to a Constitution). You are obliged to file an annual report and accounts. Establishing a CIC is a fairly complex process so you will probably need the advice of a solicitor, or someone who is well versed in Company law. The advantage of a CIC is that it is a limited company – meaning that if something goes horribly wrong you may limit your liabilities – £1 being the normal amount. You can find out more at the CIC Regulator Website
- Charity is probably the most well known type of voluntary or not for profit organisation. It has a number of advantages, but in our experience it can be difficult for a Community Radio station to fit the strict criteria necessary to become a registered charity. You would need to frame the purpose of your station around one of these criteria such as education, arts, culture, amateur sports etc. If you do manage to become a registered charity then you will avail of a number of tax advantages, reduced rates on buildings, and will gain recognition more easily with grants-giving bodies. On the other hand, charities do have trading restrictions unlike CIC's. One word of warning, we understand that by default trustees of Charities have unlimited liabilities – however it may be possible for a Charity to alleviate this exposure by setting-up a separate CIC that dedicates all its earnings to the charity, or by establishing a "Charity limited by guarantee". All this liability stuff is fairly complex, so get proper legal advice!
Costs …How much does community radio cost?…
As well as the cost of buying or hiring equipment, don't forget to budget for the cost of the necessary licences. Licence costs depend on what kind of licence you want to apply for and what stage/maturity your are at in radio station terms. CR Community Radio licences are limited availability and relatively cheap, whilst RSL licences are fairly freely available (provided you meet the application criteria), but VERY expensive. RSL's are best regarded as a "test run" rather than a permanent solution.Warning – the costs in this section need updating – please treat them as indicative!
RSL Restricted Service Licence – For one reason or another S-RSL (short-term RSL) broadcasts seem to be penalised on a cost basis by Ofcom and the music royalty bodies and others. The costs therefore quickly mount-up. For a 28 day broadcast at 25 watts for starters there are:
- Non-refundable £400 fee for Ofcom S-RSL application
- Wireless Telegraphy and Broadcasting Act fees charged on a daily basis up to a maximum of £1960 for 28 days at 25 watts
- PRS music royalties (£1173.48 discounted rate)
- PPL – £980 + VAT +£50 web simulcast
- MCPS copyright (£72.47 minimum)
CR Community Radio Licence – Unlike RSL licences, CR Community Radio licences are not freely available on demand. Ofcom only invites applications for CR licences occasionally. In April 2011 Ofcom announced a third round of CR licencing that will progress on a region by region basis starting with Wales and the South West. The licence award is typically for 5 years, and the CR station may broadcast 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Rather strangely the licence costs for CR licences are much lower than RSL licences:
- Non-refundable £600 fee for Ofcom CR Community Radio application
- Ofcom CR licence – 0.173% of revenue with minimum of £600 per annum. Payable in advance of broadcast start anniversary
- Wireless Telegraphy licence – £250 per annum
- PRS music royalties – 2% of NBR (Net Broadcasting Revenue – 85% of total revenue) with £587 + VAT minimum. Runs 30 Sep-30 Sep. Quarterly revenue reporting
- MCPS Copyright – Does not seem to be charged yet, but needs to be budgeted for – £615
- PPL Licence – 3% of NBR with minimum of £550
- PPL Web simulcast licence – £212.55
And all those licence costs come before you get started on the other costs:
- Studio and transmission equipment purchase or hire
- Insurance – buildings, contents, public liability
- Rent, electricity, phone, web, rates
- Publicity – as much as you want to spend if you have anything left!
As in indication, the first community station we were involved in cost about £11k from ground-zero to being on-air – and that was with free premises provided. That cost could probably have been shaved down by hiring instead of purchasing equipment and scrimping a bit more, but equally it would have been possible to blow lots more money.
So you'll need deep pockets, or spend significant time generating some revenue from the broadcast and/or applying for grants and negotiating freebies. Contact Associated Broadcast Consultants if you would like us to prepare a detailed budget for your fledgling radio project.
Licence Application …Applying to Ofcom for your licence…
- RSL Restricted Service Licence – early in your RSL project after you have assembled a team and a plan you need to apply for the licence. Ofcom apply a first come, first served rule for RSL licences, so do this as early as possible – 6 months or more. If you leave it late you may not get granted a licence (wasting the £400 application fee), or be granted a licence on an inferior frequency and possibly at reduced power. Ofcom operate a special allocation method for Ramadan (the Islamic month of fasting) which moves each year. If you want to establish a "Radio Ramadan" for your community, then get organised and submit your allocation as early as possible (eg 1 year in advance). Other stations are probably best-advised to avoid this period – if you are allocated a frequency bear in mind it might be congested with competing broadcasts, so you may have a smaller coverage area. The application form is relatively simple, but remember it forms the basis of your legal obligations under the licence, so don't lie, and make sure you deliver what you promise – especially on the technical side. Associated Broadcast Consultants can help you complete the form if you wish.
- CR Community Radio Licence This will probably be the main focus of your activities early in your project. The application is fairly detailed. Obviously you are asked to describe your service so that it may be judged against competing applications. In addition Ofcom want to see details of your organisation and finances to give them confidence that your station is sustainable for the full 5 year licence term. One key aspect is the "Key Commitments" section – where you need to commit to what you promise to deliver. Do not take this section lightly – you are expected to report on your achievement against these commitments annually, and Ofcom can and do punish stations that do not meet their commitments, or do not file a report. You need to strike a balance between making good enough commitments to make your application appealing, whilst also making sure they are achievable over the medium to long term.
You only get one chance, so if you would like a second opinion on your licence application before you submit it, then consider Associated Broadcast Consultants's Ofcom licence application review service.
Delivery …Getting organised…
Technical …Some important technical details…
This is an important area that you must get right both to stay of the right side of the law and to sound professional and win and retain listeners.
Stay Legal! On the transmission side if you get it wrong you may be in breach of your licence conditions. The ultimate sanction Ofcom have is to prosecute which means you could end-up with a criminal conviction! So you are well advised to get some quality advice on this aspect at the application stage, and also at the purchase/hire and installation/commissioning stage. Plug – Associated Broadcast Consultants can offer you Independent help and advice untainted by sales commissions or partnerships. Take a look at our very cost-effective e-Consultancy service in the Consultancy page of this website.
Coverage The location of your transmitter site is of critical importance. It will heavily impact how many people can receive your signal. In general on FM height is king, so the optimum site will probably be the highest hill or building near the centre of your target area. There's a lot more to planning a transmitter site that that – Plug – Associated Broadcast Consultants can help you with this aspect. We can provide coverage prediction plots from your chosen locations, or we can offer a turnkey service to take a detailed look at your area and run through many potential locations giving you a shortlist and comprehensive study with advice and conclusions to obtain maximum coverage. A coverage prediction plot is not essential in your application to Ofcom, but we think it lends your bid an air of professionalism which will help build confidence that you mean business!
Studio The audio/studio side of things does not have the same dire legal implications if you get it wrong, but instead the penalty might be that you sound terrible and no-one listens! Bear in mind that although some domestic HiFi equipment may be good audio quality, it may not stand-up to 28 days use 24 hours a day. Try to stretch to proper broadcast-spec kit whenever possible – it is built to withstand the rigours of broadcast life, and the extra quality will make a difference. It can, but does not have to cost a lot. There is some great stuff available at very good prices. Contact us to see how we can help you understand the pros and cons of different approaches.
Audio Processing Unless you have been involved in broadcasting before, this will probably be an alien concept. If you have an audio enthusiast doing your technical stuff, this is one important part they may not be aware of, or dismiss as "not required". Although true in the strictest sense, it is not true in practice – in our opinion the "Audio processor" is an essential part of any broadcast transmission chain. Ask the person in charge of technical matters what they are doing for audio processing. If they sound vague, or say it is not required, seek professional advice! We won't go into the detail here, suffice to say without one your station will sound "thin" and quiet on the dial. You are strongly advised to rent or buy such a unit – Associated Broadcast Consultants can advise on the choices to suit your budget and where to source them. You can find out a little more on the Audio Processing page of this website.
Audio production and quality control is another key area. It need not fall within the remit of technical, but it is likely that the people with the best skills in this area will also be technical. You need to ensure that all material you record and play (jingles, adverts etc) is recorded with good quality, edited correctly and sounds right. This is particularly true for adverts which may need addition of backing music, sound effects and/or audio effects. It's one of those forgotten details. Get it wrong, and say if your adverts are left with 10 second silence at the end, then when they are stacked in your playout system you may get long periods of silence and your listeners will keep thinking you have gone off-air! Associated Broadcast Consultants have written a guide to audio production using the free open-source audio editing software called Audacity. You can download the guide for free from our website here.
Computing and IT is another important area. Try to get an IT guru on-board who can set-up everything you need. They will need to install a computer network. You will almost certainly want to have a digital playout system for music, jingles and adverts, possibly an automated playout system for nights and quiet parts of the day. Also e-mail, web, maybe SMS text in ability and archiving/backup. An essential requirement from Ofcom is a station log – recording of all station output which must be retained for 42 days. This used to be done with video recorders, but is now best achieved with a PC running some special software, and an automated backup routine. You will probably want to stream your output on the web, and you will also want a website.
Revenue …Revenue opportunities for community radio…
With all those costs mentioned earlier you need to find a way to pay your way. The good news is that provided you approach the matter professionally, there is a tier of small local businesses who are keen to advertise on local radio. Bear in mind that the big commercial stations have become less "local" and more regional/national – so advertising on them costs a lot and reaches listeners far beyond the catchment area of their business. This is your Unique Selling Point – your listeners are their customers! So try to get a few volunteers who can sell, and set them on the road with a rate card and some example recorded adverts. Point of note – make sure your adverts sound slick and professional, and if you use backing music you'll probably want to use royalty-free stuff. Associated Broadcast Consultants can help you find this, some of it is free!Sponsorship is another area. Approach the larger businesses in your area and appeal to their better nature that they should be supporting local community initiatives. At this point it helps if you have evidence that you are a "pucca" organisation which is properly constituted. In return for serious cash you can offer interviews, infomertials, website banners and the kudos of being associated with a local community initiative.
Grants are another key source of revenue. Again you will need evidence that you are a properly constituted organisation. Generally they provide Capital grants – that is to say grants that can be spent on buying "stuff". Occasionally, but rarely, they will provide grants for operational expenses like licence fees, rent etc. The time/benefit ratio of grants is very high – so it is well worth having someone dedicated to the task of finding and applying for grants.
Finance …Managing your finances…
Programming and Station Imaging …Controlling your station identity…
In the excitement of delivering a new radio service, this aspect can get forgotten. If it does, there is a risk that your radio station may sound like a collection of random programmes delivered on the same frequency. This is unlikely to be a successful formula that gains listeners and advertisers!Unlike TV, people rarely make an appointment to listen to the radio. They are unlikely to consult your programme schedule and plan their radio listening around your station. Don't tell your presenters, (well actually DO tell them!) but they generally use it as the "wallpaper of their lives"! – it's on in the background as they drive to work, do the ironing, at work, after school etc etc, but in general they do not pay close attention to it. Thus it really helps if you format your station so that people know what they will hear before they tune in. If you want to be say a "Country and Western" or other specialist station, this is relatively easy – just make sure you always play Country and Western music and never play anything else! If you want to be more of an "all things to all people" station, then it starts to be very difficult. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln – "You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time". Example – many people love Heart FM, but some people are ambivalent towards it. Few people however hate it enough to turn it off, so they retain a good audience.
Part of the answer to this problem is to plan a format for your station, which attempts to match what the majority of your target audience will want at various times of day. For example you may have your best presenters playing the latest music at breakfast, have more laid-back middle-of the road hits through the day, say a lunchtime feature programme, a informative fast-paced drive-time show and specialist jazz, rock, etc programmes in the late evening. Whatever it is, plan your format and then populate it with volunteer presenters – don't create a schedule around what your volunteer presenters feel like doing!
Having planned your format, it will also need some training , mentoring and policing. So this is a bit of an on-going job as presenters come and go.
Finally another important aspect is "Station Imaging". This is radio-speak for having some jingles, a logo and station "style" that all hang-together and reflect the format and ethos of your station. It may sound overly commercial, but the more you can construct an overall recognisable "brand" on-air, on web and print etc, then the more people will "get" you and start/stay listening. A big part of it is ensuring consistency in what you say and how you say it. Jingles can be costly for proper sung ones, but there are audio production companies which do jingle packages with spoken phrases for a reasonable price. If you can afford it (maybe an unexpected grant comes through), some professional sung jingles will really add a lot to the sound of your station though.
Associated Broadcast Consultants's consultants have literally decades of experience in programming and station-imaging. Contact Associated Broadcast Consultants to talk about how we can help you
Studio Manager …Station management…
Community Liaison and Volunteers …Don't forget your community!…
Marketing and Promotion …Some marketing ideas…
Whether RSL or CR Community Radio station, you will need to try to build "brand awareness" in a radio market crowded by bigger players. This is particularly important for RSL stations because they can only broadcast for up to 28 days at a time. Without adequate promotion before broadcasts start, there is a risk that people might not realise you are on-air and so only start tuning-in to the latter half of your RSL broadcast. In addition, if you do this right such that your "brand" looks professional and is seen often it will boost the perceived value of your offer to potential advertisers – winning more business and perhaps greater revenue.Effective promotion does not have to cost any, or a lot, of money. Needless to say a good website is a pre-requisite in this day and age as is an active presence on Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, Twitter etc. The local newspaper is also important. In the run-up to your broadcast try to submit regular articles – what works best is if there is a news-worthy point or achievement for the article, and that you write it in a suitable style so it can be copy-pasted into their publication. Also try to negotiate to have your programme schedule published. If you have local parish newsletters and magazines, then these are trusted source of information for many people. Likewise school newsletters are read by many people and are well worth the effort if you have local school pupils involved with your station. As with all printed publications think well-ahead to avoid falling foul of printing deadlines. If you go looking you are also likely to find websites aimed at your local area. Submit your news stories to as many of these as possible.
TV and radio are also possibilities. Local ITV and BBC television news may run a story on you, especially if you can provide something interesting and visual for the story. Local commercial radio stations are unlikely to give you much joy, but BBC local radio can be quite helpful – apparently it"s in the BBC charter to help small community stations.
Then there are the usual things like posters, leaflets, stickers etc which start to cost money unless you fund them with adverts.
This is only a very short list of the main ways to publicise your station. If you ask your volunteers you will certainly list many, many more ideas. The challenge for you is to find people who will turn these ideas into reality!
We hope the above information is useful for you. Really it is only scraping the surface of what you need to know. Contact Associated Broadcast Consultants to talk about how we can help you.

I ordered two sets of standard size pillowcases. The fabric is lovely. However, the cases are finished with a sihirttail hem...not what I would expect in 1000 count fabric, and the cases barely cover a standard size pillow. There is not enough drape at the pillowcase opening with the pillow in place to hide the pillow. I put yes for recommend the product, because there was no "maybe" option.
After one wash, the pillow cases are performing perfectly...soft, silky, luxurious!
These are exceptional quality. Hefty fabric, great construction. Like the detailing on the cuff of the cases. Nice touch.
I liked the quality of the cotton but the threads came out after 4 waashings.
These pillow cases are wonderful. I have always loved high TC sheets, and needed a few extra pillow cases. Very happy with the product, and know that they will last for many years.
These pillowcases are well made, thicker than others I've purchased and nice to the touch!
Great pillow cases that are substantial, great quality and comfortable. Great product for the price
These pillowcases are very soft! And a 1000 count is just right! I've purchased thread count higher than 1000 and they shrink too much, no matter what the setting is on the washer or dryer! Super happy with this product!
The sheet hem is pretty and decorative but it doesn't hold shape and after dryer looks very wrinkled. The "no iron" product was missing or insufficient . They feel very good on the skin. Mood value

"Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed."— Maria Montessori
Encouraging a toddler to dress herself is just one of many ways we empower children to become lifelong learners.
Our First Steps and Stepping Stones programs for children ages 18 months - 3 years provide excellent preparation for the academic Montessori classrooms that begin at age 3. Lessons are given by our enthusiastic, skilled faculty, and the program is scheduled from 6:45am until 6:00pm allowing you to drop off and pick up your toddler according to your schedule.
Children in our toddler programs enjoy art, music, dance, simple science, language arts, sand and water play, rocking-chair time, as well as plenty of time outdoors. Students are encouraged to become independent as we teach them to clean up their spaces, put away their lunchboxes, button their coats, and put on their mittens and boots, all in an environment that is safe, secure, and welcoming.
Because of the high demand, parents are encouraged to pursue admission six months before their desired starting date. Children are admitted on a year-round basis as openings occur.

Officers are looking for the public's help identifying forgery suspects, according to Johnathan Bragg of the Greenville Police Department.
The suspect approached victims, asked them for a ride and then told them he would give them gas money, according to Bragg.
Officers say the suspect would pay the victims with a check in an amount greater than the cost of gas. He would then ask the victim to withdraw money to make up the difference, Bragg said. This has happened on three different occasions, according to Bragg.
Officers said the checks were fake.
Officers ask that anyone with information is asked to call the Greenville Police Tip Line at 864-271-GCPD (4273) or Greenville Crime Stoppers at 864-23-CRIME.

Fire On Warm Springs Reservation Expected To Grow
By David Nogueras
Warm Springs' Kah-Nee-Ta Resort and Spa remains closed today as firefighters continue battle a large wildfire on the Warm Springs Indian reservation. The Sunnyside Turnoff Fire on the Warm Springs reservation has scorched more than 20 thousand acres and forced the evacuation of 40 homes.
William Wilson: "The situation now is fairly extreme."
William Wilson is the assistant fire management officer for Warm Springs. He says the current weather outlook calls for continued dry and windy conditions. That has fire managers preparing for the possibility the fire could grow even larger.
William Wilson: "We expect significant runs of an additional 5, 10, to 15 thousand acres over the next couple of days.
More resources will be arriving throughout the day. An Type 2 Incident Management Team out of La Grande is expected to take over operations by the end of the day.
Wilson says so far, the fire hasn't damaged any homes. Although it did burn one uninhabited building described as a old "homestead".

SLAYER is back! The band needed a strong album after some experiments in other areas did'nt quite do the job.WORLD PAINTED BLOOD is the seething,crushing and raw release SLAYER needed to really get back on track again. This is the SLAYER of 25 years ago...and the powerful gems like UNIT 731 and HATE WORLDWIDE...could have fit on REIGN IN BLOOD. Other monster tracks like PSYCHOPATHY RED and the eerie, chilling PLAYING WITH DOLLS add even more old school SLAYER to this awesome album!—
10.09.11 6:58pm — whitewizard
SLAYER return after five years , release CHRIST ILLUSION as a ''comeback'' album...pretty good job;I'd say when you've got so many expectations on your shoulders. SLAYER delivers the goods,with crushers like EYES OF THE INSANE and CULT. To me...the return of Dave Lombardo makes a massive difference in the success of CHRIST ILLUSION. Dave's top notch drum work propells SLAYER throughout this (and all albums he's on) album.JIHAD andFLESH STORM are other monsters SLAYER unleashes on CHRIST ILLUSION,Welcome back...SLAYER.—

New Zealand sauvignon blancs have taken it on the chin in recent years, or so it would seem. Once the tart, fruity darling of the Anything But Chardonnay crowd, these days I find many folks turn up their noses at the mere mention of New Zealand's iconic wine.
Of course, others swear by kiwi sauvignon blancs. Wine sales from New Zealand, especially sauvignon blancs, continue their 30-year spiral upward. New Zealand's winemaking association reports a 22 percent increase from 2009 to 2013 amounting to $1.2 billion in export sales. Over the past 10 years, vineyard acreage has just about doubled.
So, somebody's drinking this wine.
As with so many things in this polarized world, it is neither as dire nor as sunny as some would have you believe.
The biggest knock against New Zealand sauvignon blancs is their sameness—year in, year out and from one maker to the next. Detractors also deride them as fruit cocktail in a glass. Many do indeed share a melon-like quality and a subtle sweetness that is miles away from the steely, mineral-laced wines from Sancerre—sauvignon blanc's ancestral home in France's Loire Valley.
And there is truth within this viewpoint. The New Zealand wine industry suffers from a commercial conservatism that puts stock into not screwing up a good thing. Its motto: give fickle consumers what they want and—for goodness sake—do not taking any risks. Where's the excitement in that?
Naturally, there are exceptions. In recent months, I've tried Villa Maria's single vineyard selections, Drylands, Matua Valley "Paretai" and Kim Crawford "Spitfire" sauvignon blancs and loved every one of them. With the exception of Drylands, these wines are priced between $25 and $50 per bottle.
And as much as I'd like to hold these wines in the faces of some critics, I prefer to ask the less obvious question: What's wrong with a little industrial sameness?
Life's too short to drink bad wine. Yes, I've heard this expression a million times. I'd like to counter with the observation that life's too short to spend a half a day obsessing about a wine selection.
In a perfect world, each new glass of wine we hold in our hands would be better than the last and everything would be served in the crystalline stemware designed specifically for that particular wine. If you live in that world, please invite me over sometime.
As much as New Zealand wines, in general, display a mono-dimensionalness, there are not too many stinkers in the bunch either. How handy is that information when you're running into your wine shop to grab a couple of bottles as you head up to the mountains for a weekend getaway?
New Zealand sauvignon blancs may not get much respect among professional wine critics and non-professional, whiny cynics, but I'd hate to see them disappear from the landscape. They may not be the most sincere wines in the world, but they are among the safest.

Note: Wines are rated on a scale ranging up from Thumbs Down, One Thumb Mostly Up, One Thumb Up, Two Thumbs Up, Two Thumbs Way Up and Golden Thumb Award. Prices are suggested retail prices as provided by the winery, one of its agents, a local distributor or retailer.

TUESDAY, Jan. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Up to 85 percent of American
adults now wear seat belts, an increase that translates into many
fewer injuries and deaths on the road, federal health officials
said Tuesday.
When the first state law requiring seat belts was passed in
1982, only 11 percent of Americans bothered to wear them. But now,
according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), nearly six out of seven drivers buckle up.
"What we have here is good news," CDC director Dr. Thomas R. Frieden said during a noon press conference Tuesday.
"Wearing a seat belt on every trip has become the norm in America, and that is associated with a steady fall in injuries and deaths from motor vehicle crashes," he said.
Health officials noted that the country still has a ways to go
in promoting seat belt use, however. One in seven drivers still
don't buckle up, and among children and young people aged five to
34 in the United States, motor vehicle crashes remain the leading
cause of death.
More than 2 million adults are treated each year for injuries by
motor vehicles in emergency departments, and nearly 34,000 people
of all ages died from these injuries last year, Frieden noted.
Wearing a seat belt is the best way of preventing such deaths
and injuries in crashes, Frieden said. In fact, wearing a seat belt
reduces the risk of being killed or seriously injured in a crash by
about 50 percent, the CDC reports.
The report appears in the Jan. 4 edition of the CDC's
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Other findings from the report:
To increase seat belt use and to reduce injuries the CDC
For the study, the analyzed data from the 2009 National
Electronic Injury Surveillance System-All Injury Program injuries
treated in emergency departments nationwide, as well as 2008
federal data on self-reported risk behaviors.
CDC officials noted that increased seat belt use could save not
only lives, but untold billions lost to injuries and time lost from
In 2005, car crashes cost Americans $11 billion in injuries and
lost productivity, according to Frieden. "We cannot afford to
continue to lose the money and lives that are being lost to motor
vehicle crashes," he said.

Winemaker François Cordesse's passion for Sauvignon Blanc is evident in the sophisticated, yet spirited, nature of this 2006 vintage wine. Comprised of primarily Sauvignon Blanc, this blend also includes 13% Sauvignon Musque, a clonal cousin to Sauvignon Blanc that balances the wine's acidity, strengthens the mid-palate and provides a longer finish. Estate-owned vineyards in
Sonoma County's Alexander Valley and Knights Valley are the primary source of this wine's
Sauvignon Blanc fruit, while Sonoma County's Knights Valley is the source of the Sauvignon
Musque fruit.
The translucent, pale straw color of this wine is followed by a fresh bouquet of pink grapefruit and
melon. Emulating the nose, the palate of crisp citrus and melon flavor carries a hint of dry white
herb, and is accompanied by a soft, round mouthfeel. This supple quality distinguishes François'
wine from many of the popular "green, grassy-style" Sauvignon Blancs, and is achieved by
fermenting 21% of the final blend in French oak barrels.
Founded in 1977, Matanzas Creek Winery is located on the site of a retired dairy farm in Sonoma County's Bennett Valley. In 1985, the original winery, a converted dairy barn, gave way to a modern winemaking facility and since that time the Estate's Bennett Valley vineyards have grown to include over 280-acres of Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah.

- Great steaks!GrilledCheeseMamaVIPDined on 9/27/2014Visited Blue on Saturday night. We wanted to try something a little different-- we frequent Shula's(center valley) and Sullivan's(KoP). The outside bar/dining area seems lovely. (We poked our heads in before we entered the restaurant.) In retrospect, wish we would have eaten outside. It was a gorgeous evening. The restaurant was quite busy but we were greeted and seated right away. Enjoyed a Spiced Apple Mojito cocktail special. I had the 6oz filet and was very pleased. Cooked & seasoned perfectly. Hubs had 10oz bone-in filet special and enjoyed as well. I found the inside a bit noisy but not overwhelmingly so. Service was attentive without being annoying as it can sometimes be at Shula's. Will go back!Special Features:
- Always a nice experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/26/2014I've never left Blue feeling dissatisfied in any way.Special Features:
- great sea bass, great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/26/2014Our server steered me toward the sea bass, which was terrific, and was that perfect combination of attentive without being fawning. My dining partner's pork chop was very good, though not unusually stellar. On the whole, though, a really nice experience. This was my first visit, and I'll definitely return.Special Features:
- Rude people suck :,(CUTIEFOODIEDined on 9/19/2014It was my bday weekenf and bring from out of town we had no clue where this place was located . I was so excited and had been wanting to try it out but that all changed when I called the restaurant and asked for simple directions . The young lady who answered the phone was not only ride she made it clear that I could just go on their website to get the directions . Yes I am Well aware of that but I was simply asking her and to recieve such a close ended answer I knew she wasn't willing to help so unfortunately we had to go elsewhere . It's not about the directions because that could have been resolved easily .The annoyed tone of her voice and rude manner she displayed was enough to make us go elsewhere . Not welcoming at all !!!!!!.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/10/2014We held a business lunch for 10 guests. From the time we walked in to the time we left the staff was professional, friendly and efficient. Our server was prompt but sensitive to the importance of the conversations at the table. Food was delicious and room was perfect for our function. We will be back again. I can always count on Blue for my business gatherings.Special Features:
- Just OKOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Have been going here for years. They changed their menu and NOT for the better. Appetizers very lacking especially for people allergic to seafood as we are. Chicken quesadillas, really?! sides were limited. Service was not good for high ed, rushing us to order drinks, apps, the dinner all on top of each other. Just very disappointed with this visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for our AnniversaryWarEagleinJerseyDined on 8/25/2014My wife and I went to Blue Grillhouse for our 16th Wedding Anniversary. The Hostess greeted us with a warm Congratulations for our anniversary and acknowledged that my wife was on a Gluten-Free diet. She seated us at a secluded table and informed us who our server would be. Jeremy came over and provided us with some Champagne for the occasion. He also provided my wife with the selections that were Gluten-Free and then told us of the specials and from there it was a great evening. My wife had the Grilled Salmon and I had the Dry Aged Prime Rib. Both dinners were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The grilled asparagus was delicious. The restaurant went above and beyond in setting the mood for our anniversary and making it a great night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always perfectionCyclingdocDined on 8/16/2014Excellent service, ambiance, food choices. Known for their steaks. Have eaten there multiple times for business dinners-never a problem. Steak tartare with capers in outstanding. NY Strip slightly overcooked for medium well with char on one side, but otherwise very flavorful. Strongly recommend either ginger-soy or the Bearnaise sauce to accompany. Note: Bearnaise is CLASSICALLY made, meaning raw eggs are beaten into the sauce. Must finish with the homemade sorbet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- 25th anniversaryFoodie63VIPDined on 8/6/2014Blue is our favorite restaurant in Bethlehem. We have been dining here for over five years. The food,ambiance, and service are excellent. The entire staff played a role in making a memorable anniversary for us. Our favorite waiter Jeremy, who is the absolute BEST, recommended the 32 ounce Tomahawk dry aged bone in ribeye. We are not huge steak lovers but took Jeremy's choice and WOW what a choice. It was the most delicious tender perfectly cooked steak we've ever had. Becky our server this evening was very courteous,attentive,professional, and was kind enough to take time,despite being busy, to take an anniversary photo for us. Thanks Becky. The very handsome manager who resembled Hugh Jackman (Wolverine)checked on us. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not worth the moneyOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/29/2014Not worth the money: Went there because it is advertised as a grill house and to have a steak and a beer. It began with a dirty beer glass, next came a so-so salad with wimpy greens, then, although they told me they cook the steaks with a high temperature, the medium well corn fed rib eye steak was burnt black on the outside. The a la cart ordering filled up the table quickly with dishes. The desert plates were water spotted, and in general the plates and utensils were diner quality. The only bright spot was the excellent server. The place seems to cater to corporate dinners. If you live in, or are visiting the Lehigh Valley, the same amount of money will be better spent at MELT, and If you want a real steak go to SHULA's.Special Features:

- Never disappoints!JackyRoDined on 6/27/2014As always we enjoyed our food and experience! We sat outside for the 1st time and it has a casual feel more like a bar scene. We enjoyed great food in a more lively atmosphere. If you are looking for a more upscale or romantic feel stick with inside (on a Friday night anyway). Manager was extremely nice and on top of things. Outside dining is 1st come 1st serve so keep that in mind if you want to sit outside. We did not mind the wait at the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

LONDON (UGA/WRCB) -- Former Georgia diver Chris Colwill finished a disappointing 18th in the men's 3-meter springboard diving competition at the 2012 London Olympics on Tuesday.
Colwill, a two-time Olympian and captain of Team USA Diving, scored 310.9 points on his first four dives Tuesday, but a miss on his fifth dive earned just 28.9 points. He closed with no points on his sixth and final attempt, ending his run well-short of medal contention with just 339.80 points.
"Instead of going with the aggressive attitude, I told myself not to do something, which you should never do," Colwill told The Associated Press. "Just played it too safe. ... (On the fifth dive), I just kind of zoned out. I stood on the board for too long. It was a freak accident and just happened at the wrong time. (And on the sixth dive), I went with the attitude of 100 points or no points, and I guess I got the no points."
Colwill was a three-time NCAA champion and a five-time SEC champion during his career with the Bulldogs (2004-06, 2008).

It's About Time... For The 1976 Chevette?

The overwhelming majority of voters thought that the Callaway '83 Porsche 944 was reasonably priced at $45,000; not bad for a Late Malaise Era machine. Today we're going to ponder a car from the same era, and it may be even more rare than the Callaway 944: a really straight, all-original Chevy Chevette! »

With less than two weeks before Election Day, Congressman Sanford Bishop accepts the endorsement of education advocates.
Students, teachers, and parents gathered at Albany's Downtown Library Wednesday evening to show their support for the veteran 2nd District Congressman.
The former and current Field Directors for the Georgia Association of Educators in our area spoke in support of Representative Bishop.
He says he's grateful for the support and won't let his constituents down when it comes to education.
"I promise that I will take this trust of responsibility to act forward in your behalf to Washington to continue fighting for more teacher jobs, to preserve teachers' jobs, aids, school bus drivers and cafeteria workers," said Representative Bishop.
Bishop is being challenged by Republican John House in the 2nd District race.

Where » Park City Live, 427 Main St., Park City
What happened » This sold-out concert was party to celebrate the Sundance debut of Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl's directorial debut "Sound City," with musicians from the film showing up to make the three-hour-plus performance consistently surprising and hair-raising — in the very best way. My favorite moment came when Grohl switched from guitar to drums, and then Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear appeared onstage, along with Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen and Stone Sour and Slipknot singer Corey Taylor. With the surviving members of Nirvana — Grohl, Novoselic and Smear — playing along, Taylor led the all-star band through a rousing rendition of the Cheap Trick anthem "Surrender." Music never sounded more vibrant and celebratory.

Where » Shuttle stop in front of parking Lot G
What happened » Arrived at the shuttle stop at 11:50 a.m., which I thought was plenty of time to make it to Main Street for a 12:30 p.m. meeting. I waited and waited along with two other Salt Lake City residents — and an overly chatty parking attendant — for a ride. Over the next 30 minutes, three buses headed for other venues — not Main Street — arrived at our stop, picked up no one and left. By then two more people arrived at the stop saying they, too, were headed to Main Street. Finally, at 12:22 p.m., the Main shuttle arrived — followed immediately by another Main Street bus. The first bus was quite full, so the parking attendant suggested the five of us get on the second one, which we did. The first bus pulled away and the second bus remained at the stop until 12:30 p.m. Needless to say, I missed the meeting and got off the bus, wondering how to get my $10 parking fee reimbursed by the newspaper. Next year, I'll have to download the GPS shuttle app.
