White wines are either made from the grape juice and grape skin of green, gold or yellowish coloured grapes; or less commonly known they are made just from the juice of select red grapes.
They tend to be consumed with lighter meals, or as an aperitif. White wines are lighter in both style and taste than the majority of red wines, and are most ideally suited to spring and summer. White wines tend to be paired with white meats.
They are best served in narrower glasses than red wines are, this is so there is more of a concentration of aroma at the top of the glass. They are also best served cold, between 45-50 F.
Chardonnay is a very popular white wine, and has an easily recognisable aroma of apples, lemons or tropical fruits. Chardonnay has a full body and an easy smoothness. It is the only grape permitted in the Chablis region of France, and is the main grape used in Champagne.
Chardonnay is grown and produced worldwide in other areas, such as: Argentina, Chile, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States and Yugoslavia.
Mild curries, creamy fish dishes, full-flavoured seafood
Chenin Blanc is a very versatile grape as it produces both crisp and dry white wines, along with nectar-like dessert wines. Nevertheless, they tend to all have a honey type character and a zesty acidity. The Co-operative Fairtrade Wild Ferment Chenin Blanc is a fine crisp and dry wine made from this grape. Chenin Blanc has a native region of the Loire Valley in France, but it is less planted there than other areas, such as Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Argentina. However, it is the main white variety of South Africa, and is also a major player in California, Australia and New Zealand.

Acidic, spicy flavours, fish, chicken
The most popular white wine in Italy is produced from the Pinot Grigio grape. They are usually mildly floral and delicately fragrant, with lemon-citrus flavours. Nevertheless, French Pinot Gris tends to be richer and more fuller-bodied.
Pee-no gree-gee-oh / Pee-no gree
Poultry, seafood, pasta
Riesling is Germany's greatest grape variety. They have a floral and apple-like aroma, and they can balance high levels of residual sugar.
Spicy dishes, Thai flavours, cheese
Sauvignon Blanc has a specific identity, and with high levels of acidity it is very zesty. It is interesting to compare a South African Sauvignon to a New Zealand version. The flavours of grass and nettles shine through in our South African Stonehaven Sauvignon Blanc, whereas The Co-operative Explorer's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand has a stronger taste of grapefruit and gooseberry.
It is produced in New Zealand, South Africa, France, California, Chile, Argentina, Australia and Italy.
Acidic flavours such as citrus and vinegar, spicy dishes, poultry, goats cheese
Welcome to The Co-operative Fairtrade wine section. The free to download attachments will provide further information on the Co-operative Fairtrade Wine Range and the benefits that the range has had on developing communities in Argentina, Chile and South Africa.
In 2001 The Co-operative broke new ground by launching the UK's first fairly-traded supermarket wine, and we haven't looked back since. At the time there were no internationally agreed criteria for wine to carry the FAIRTRADE Mark, so we worked with Traidcraft the UK's leading fairtrade organisation, to set up a trading relationship with the Los Robles co-operative in Chile.
After the establishment of a criteria for Fairtrade Wine in 2004 The Co-operative began to work with the Du Toitskloof co-operative in South Africa, helping them to gain Fairtrade accreditation which they achieved in 2005. Shortly after, The Co-operative was then able to launch its own range of Fairtrade wine from Du Toitskloof throughout its UK stores.
Today our range of wines carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark comes from all over the world, including Chile, Argentina and South Africa. Each of our Fairtrade wines tells a story; about struggling communities revived and renewed, about schools built, clean water supplied, and hope restored.
So when you're sipping our velvety Argentine red, enjoying a refreshing glass of our Chilean white, or celebrating with our Fairtrade Sparkling Brut, you can be sure that someone on the other side of the world is benefiting from a better deal that will improve their lives. Isn't that worth raising a glass to?

Tucson Modernism Week
October 3 -11 2014
The Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation is proud to present Tucson Modernism Week 2013: October 4, 5 & 6. The three day extravaganza is a series of programs, film, lectures and events highlighting and celebrating Tucson's Mid-century Modern design and architecture. The programming emphasizes the Modernist Buildings of Broadway Boulevard between Country Club and Campbell Avenue.
Tucson's modernism captured the exuberance of the post WWII era, and is defined by clean, simple lines and a casual informality. In the southern Arizona desert the movement has come to be defined as Sonoran Modern with the use of regional materials, adaptation to the desert climate and an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living.

Multifunctional tool for PDF files
To manage the mountains of paper that cross our desks every day, we need to file, retrieve, copy, stamp, investigate, and classify documents. A special tool can help users keep on top of their electronic paperwork: pdftk – the PDF toolkit.
Native Linux PDF utilities such as GhostScript are very useful if you're willing to click through the menus. But if you're looking for something faster, or if you would like to automate a recurring task, try pdftk (the PDF Toolkit). pdftk is a convenient command-line program for processing PDF files. According to creator Sid Steward, "If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses." Installation and Use
You can download the latest version of the PDF toolkit from one of the Sid Steward's [1] websites. The GPL program is available for Linux, Mac OS X (Panther), FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. The platform-specific install proved to be quite simple on the platforms we tested (including Debian and SuSE Linux).

Why is it that prices go up but our wages don't? Argentina's working class is certainly concerned over the matter as labor conflicts are heating up. Public health workers have put the dispute over wages back in the national public spotlight.
Non-medical staff at the Garrahan children's hospital have been on the strike path for the past three weeks to demand that the minimum monthly salary be increased to 1,800 pesos (600 dollars). The public health workers staged a series of 72-hour strikes at the hospital, which has caused uproar among the National Government. Garrhan children's hospital is Argentina's largest and most modern children's public healthcare facility, which employs some 2,400 people (including medical, administrative and non-medical staff).
"We want to earn equivalent to the basic family basket,†said assembly delegate Mercedes Mendez. Garrahan workers say that they have the right to demand a 1,800 basic salary, the cost of family basic needs. Some 700 nurses, technicians, and janitors are organized in a worker assembly that functions as an internal commission of the ATE state-employees union. The assembly has criticized ATE's leadership for maintaining a passive position in labor struggles, many times speaking publicly against the workers' demands and actions. The assembly values direct democracy and non-hierarchical organization – motions are made by the assembly's body and then the workers vote on the motion.
President Nestor Kirchner's administration along with the mass-media has launched a massive campaign to demonize the health worker assembly and to divert attention from the urgent need for across the board wage increases and improvements in public services. This month, Health Minister Gines Gonzales Garcias said that protesting health workers were "terrorists, taking children as hostage.†He accused them of sabotaging medical equipment and putting the lives of children at risk. Gonzales Garcias's characterization is a chilling echo of a discourse used by Argentina's last military dictatorship.
Despite accusation that the strikers are neglecting patients, relatives of patients receiving care at the hospital spoke out against the attacks saying that nurses never abandoned their patients. They explained that workers covered emergency care when on strike. Again and again, nurses have reported with tears in their eyes from rage and impotence that the hospital doesn't have enough health supplies for necessities as simple as syringes, tubes and needles for IV's . Technicians, nurses and maintenance have said that they are the ones that keep the hospital functioning. They often have to stand in for doctors and sometimes even surgeons. For children's day the workers' assembly organized a festival with music, gifts and movies for patients and family.
In addition to being dubbed as terrorists, last week the hospital's administration sent out telegrams to warn staff that if they continue with the strike they will be fired. The hospital this week hired 20 new nurses without sufficient training to break the strike, reminiscent of coal mining companies sending in scabs. However, the workers have not backed down. On August 15 they voted to stage another 72-hour strike.
The Labour Ministry offered a 20 percent increase for workers. Three of the unions involved in the conflict accepted the offer. Meanwhile, Garrahan's dissident assembly's general secretary Gustavo Lerer said that the offer is far from reaching employees' demand of a 1,800 basic salary. Currently most non-medical staff make between 1,000 to 1,200 pesos. The offer would mean a 200 peso hike for most workers, while high-up administration who earn at least 2,000 pesos would receive a 600 peso increase.
In July, the minimum income needed to avoid falling below the poverty line increased from 750 pesos to 786 pesos. However, the average salary in Argentina is 600 pesos. The government worries that if Garrahan workers win their demands, they will set off a chain reaction in other labor sectors to demand a salary that correlates to the cost of family's basic needs. Public workers nation wide have been on the striking on and off for four months. The labor ministry is trying to halt increasing demands by workers for wage hikes and that price increases cease. The IMF is pushing President Néstor Kirchner to keep salaries stagnated and cut the budget for public services, while inflation is expected to reach at least 15 percent this year. With every 1 percent of inflation, 150,000 people fall below the poverty line.
Salaries have been frozen for over a decade. Between 1984 and 2004, real salaries fell 52.7 percent. During this same period production grew 87.2 percent. This means that workers' hourly production increased by 257 percent. While workers produce faster during more hour, the purchasing power of salaries fell drastically. For businessmen and managers, pressuring employees to work faster can result in reduced costs through cutbacks and increased production. While employees work faster, there's a surplus of workers for what needs to be produced. This resulted in layoffs and flexible labor standards – current unemployment is at 19 percent (including the two million unemployed receiving unemployed subsidies).
So if a family needs at least 1,800 pesos to get by, why is it that salaries fall way below this minimum? "All workers, no mater from what category, has the right so that their family can eat properly, have clothes and live in decent shelter,†said subway delegates in their newspaper. All eyes are watching the Garrahan conflict. With direct actions like wildcat strikes and solidarity festivals they are sending a clear message that workers will not accept poverty-level wages. With a steady reserve of unemployed and humiliating average salaries, the government and business sectors have taught the population to get used to living in misery. However, all of this is changing with emerging labor conflicts like Garrahan.
Workers from the ceramics factory Zanon, occupied and managed by its workers since 2001, are donating ceramic tiles to Garrahan children's hospital. Zanon workers said that although the 200 square meters of ceramics tile is only a small gesture they support non-medical staff who are on strike for the third week in a row. The government also worries over a nation-wide network of mutual solidarity among labor conflicts. Hospital staff from other public and private medical centers have held parallel strikes and shown their support for Garrahan workers.
Many workers consider that the fight against increasing prices for consumers goes hand in hand with the fight for wage hikes. Subway delegates have a very direct proposal to improve workers salaries and conditions. "While the possibility of increasing prices is in the hands of businessmen there will never be a salary increase that is enough. This is why prices have to be part of worker production. While this seems like a utopia, we have a small margin to apply this idea with recuperated enterprises under worker control. If the 100 largest companies in Argentina were controlled by workers (like the case of Zanon) we could begin to control prices within the capitalist market. Or outside capitalism.â€

Kirsten wrote what many of us were thinking when we heard the news that Chelsea had decided spending 13.3 million Euros on a manager should only get you about three-fourths of a season.
Andre Villas-Boas seems made for Aston Villa.
The problem is that, with finances being what they are at the moment, and with so much turnover in the last few years, Villa probably isn't going to be in the market for a new manager unless they manage to get themselves relegated.
Which means we shouldn't sell the idea of Villa hiring Villas Boas as much as we should sell Chelsea on the idea of hiring Alex McLeish.
So it's time to start the grass roots campaign. Take to the Twitters, the Facebooks, the Google pluseseses. Hell, hit up your old Friendster account. Do whatever it takes. Just go there and start pretending you hope Chelsea doesn't take McLeish away from us.
Talk about how much it would hurt Aston Villa to lose such a leader. A man with a clear plan to take Aston Villa to the top of the table, and the only man with the ability to see it through.
Maybe, just maybe, if we pretend we like him enough, Chelsea may actually think he's worth hiring.
Just don't throw in anything about being worried he'd take Emile Heskey with him. Chelsea may be impatient and a bit irrational, but they aren't that stupid. They'll see right through it.

By CHARLES ODUMAP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - There is still pain and shock from a loss Paul Johnson describes as the worst of his five years at Georgia Tech.
There also is a big question for this week: How can Georgia Tech's defense hope to stop No. 15 Clemson's high-powered offense on Saturday after the Yellow Jackets were overwhelmed in last week's 49-28 loss to Middle Tennessee State?
Johnson says he believes Georgia Tech (2-3, 1-2 ACC) is better than it has played. He says he told his players "I'm not going to give up on them."
Johnson says he's paying more attention to defense after the unit allowed a combined 91 points in two straight losses to Middle Tennessee State and Miami. He's looking to end a trend of missed tackles and big plays allowed.

Choosing a DJ or Hiring a Band for Your Wedding
about :: wedding invitation etiquette | wedding invitation trends | wedding planning ideas | weddings and budgets | wedding decoration ideas
Nothing will energize and liven your wedding like the right entertainment. Without it, your well-planned festivities will be lackluster at best. Therefore, choosing a DJ or hiring a band for your wedding is one of the most important tasks on your "to-do list."
Without careful planning you may end up with a band of American Idol rejects or an unseasoned DJ who plays Metallica for a Frank Sinatra crowd. Furthermore, professional musicians and DJs know which songs will get your guests involved and when a slower melody is appropriate.
Avoiding entertainment disasters means doing your homework. Here is some advice on how to find a DJ or find a band for a wedding that nets sensational results.
Know Your Performer
Before you hire a DJ or find a band for your wedding, you have to interview several candidates. Watch them perform at a local club. Check out a video of their DJ skills at a recent wedding. Make sure the performer will set the tone and mood you want at your wedding.
Through your conversations with the DJ or band members, you should be able to determine if your personalities will blend well. Ask them how many weddings they have played and how much experience they have.
If you go through a company, make sure you know who will perform at your wedding. Some companies represent a stable of musicians and DJs, and they choose the individual(s) right for your occasion. Companies often use this opportunity to do a bait and switch routine.
Finally, determine if the performer will be professional enough for your crowd. There is a certain etiquette that you want in a DJ or band; make sure the individual(s) you hire will be courteous, well dressed and well groomed.
Know Your Songs and Setup
Make sure the DJ or band plays the style of music you like. Professionals will have a large list of songs-from current hits to classic wedding tunes. If the DJ cannot provide a song list it may be best to find someone else.
You should be able to select the songs you want. The process of song selection enables you to specify must-have songs and identify which songs are off limits.
Also, find out if the DJ or band takes requests. This provides much of the fun during a wedding reception. If your performer will not accept requests, your guests may feel they cannot participate in your event.
Keep in mind that the performance is more than song selection. First, ensure the performer you hire knows how to pronounce the names of every individual in your wedding party, including relatives who will be introduced. Take the time to walk through each first and last name.
Additionally, can the DJ or band's sound system handle the size of your venue with no problems? A home stereo will not have the output required to entertain your guests. If you want colored lights, mirror balls or other effects, ask if these elements are part of the setup. Professional bands and DJs should have professional equipment.
The entertainment sets the tone for your reception. Never underestimate the importance of finding the performer who is able to create the right mood. Following some of this simple advice will ensure your hired DJ or band will compliment your wedding day.

MADISON (WKOW) -- An 18-year-old robbery victim believes he may have been followed by his attacker as he got off of a Madison Metro bus near Johnson Street and Fordem Avenue Friday night.

When the victim took the phone from his pocket, the robber grabbed it and pushed the victim down.
The suspect then took off running on Johnson Street near First Street.
The suspect is described as a black male, 20-22 years of age, 5'10-6' tall with an average build. He has short hair and was wearing black clothing, including a coat with a hood.

Whiteout conditions led to a 21-vehicle accident in Genesee County today. It happened around 12:45p.m. Saturday afternoon along US-23 just south of W. Thompson Road in Fenton Township. A tractor-trailer involved in the pile-up also reportedly caught fire. The Genesee County Sheriff's Department and the Fenton Township Fire Department responded to the scene. Police say several people involved in the accident suffered minor injuries, while one individual was taken to Genesys Health with serious injuries.
Meanwhile, snow squalls snarled traffic throughout southeastern Michigan, with many multi-vehicle accidents and freeway closings.
Authorities say multiple crashes Saturday on U.S. 23 forced the route's northbound lanes to be shut down at the state line just outside Toledo, Ohio. A crash involving several tractor-trailers and about 20 cars also closed part of Interstate 75 in Monroe County. To the north, a four-vehicle crash closed the southbound lanes of I-75 in the Detroit suburb of Woodhaven.
Numerous vehicle crashes and other freeway closures dotted the region. No serious injuries have been reported.
National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Mosteiko in Oakland County's White Lake Township says the area has received less than an inch of snow but the brief white-out conditions have lowered visibility and slickened road surfaces.

This is Cox's best gig since the end of "Friends" and she clearly knows it, attacking the material at full tooth-and-nail.
For all the sex jokes (most of which are amusing), this is at heart a family comedy, with Cox completely winning as a mom trying to make herself happy without making her son miserable. Odds are that other moms can relate.
Despite the title, Cougar Town seems more female centric, which is key to ABC's audience, and it's a little more formulaic than "Modern Family," but both are welcome new sitcoms.
The show demonstrates that none of Cox's ample comic skills have diminished; she still has impeccable timing. But she can be such a brittle presence that she needs to be surrounded by more sympathetic characters, not by friends who are, if anything, more raunchy and manic.
This is a story of desperation, not liberation. Cox is too good for this.
Where "Scrubs'' managed to plumb some truth about medicine and camaraderie Cougar Town is less funny, and sometimes kind of creepy.
Cougar Town (which doesn't debut until Wednesday, but I wanted to give you time to disconnect your TV set) is downright unwatchable, an agonizingly unfunny gutter-ball that will almost certainly be the first of the new season's shows to be canceled.

Oct 17, 2010The show started off as crass and distractingly sexual, but morphed into a wonderful dysfunctional ensemble comedy as the season progressed. Busy Phillips and Christa Miller are two of the finest supporting comedy actresses on television.

Hours after his DWI arrest, the Panthers have cut Panthers WR Dwayne Jarrett.
The Panthers cut the former second-round draft pick on Tuesday afternoon. Jarrett was arrested early Tuesday morning for driving while impaired. He was pulled over just past 2 a.m. in Charlotte and released on $2,000 bond.
It is the second arrest in three years for Jarrett, who pleaded guilty to DWI in March 2008.
The former USC standout has just two catches for 40 yards this season and has never eclipsed 200 yards receiving in a season during his NFL career.
To take his roster spot, the Panthers claimed WR David Clowney. He has spent the last four seasons with the Jets, catching 16 passes for 239 yards and one TD.
The way we see it
This came as no surprise for a guy who has struggled on the field, as well. The DWI just gave Panthers more reason to cut ties with Jarrett, who had fallen far down the depth chart. Even with top WR Steve Smith likely out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Jarrett would still be behind young receivers on the Panthers' depth chart. It's another sad chapter in Jarrett's career.

By Alex Lippa
---- — HAMPSTEAD — It's a long process, but plans for the new police station are right on schedule.
"It's been terribly slow lately," said Stephen Londrigan, chairman of the Hampstead Police Building Committee. "But that was expected; we are on schedule."
The $1.63 million station was approved by the voters, 1,084-837, at Town Meeting in March after being rejected four times. The station will be built on Veterans Way.
"We are really hoping to be in there by the spring," Chief Joseph Beaudoin said.
But there is still a lot that needs to happen.
"We are waiting for the final drawings to come in from the architect," Beaudoin said. "Then we will take one last look at them and send it out to bid."
Londrigan said the building will be 7,200 square feet. The station they pitched to voters was 7,600 square feet.
"There were just some structural issues which caused it to be a little smaller," he said.
Once the architectural plans are finalized, the committee will send the project out to bid for construction.
"We've already had a tremendous amount of people contact us about it," Beaudoin said.
Londrigan said the bidding will last about a month, and soon after, physical progress is expected.
"We'd like to break ground by the beginning of October," he said. "We want to get the groundwork leather tight before the winter."
It should then take only a matter of months before the building is furnished and officers are ready to move in.
The next step would then be deciding what to do with the current station on Emerson Avenue. It was built in 1948.
"It's too early to tell right now if we will be able to do something with it," Londrigan said. "There's been some concern with the structural integrity of the building."

BOSTON (AP) - The panel overseeing the state's new gambling law is heading for western Massachusetts, where the competition for one of the state's three resort casino licenses is heating up.
The five-member Massachusetts Gaming Commission is scheduled to hold a forum in Springfield on Wednesday to discuss issues related to expanded gambling, including jobs, tourism and support for communities that might host a casino in the future.
Ameristar Casinos of Nevada has proposed a resort casino on a former industrial site off Interstate 291 in Springfield, and other developers have expressed interest in the city.
Officials of MGM Resorts recently met with leaders of Springfield's South End community but the company has yet to make an announcement.
Also competing for the sole western Massachusetts license is Connecticut's Mohegan Sun, which hopes to build a casino in the town of Palmer.
