Swagbucks T-Shirt Contest
We get a lot of great suggestions every day from members of Swag Nation of things that they would like to see incorporated in the wonderful world of Swag Bucks. One thing we've been hearing the most is the desire to have some Swagbucks.com merch, and after getting lots of feedback from you guys on the design we have come up with the first ever Swagbucks.com T-Shirt. Only thing is, we need YOUR help to finish it!
As you can see, the back of the shirt lists the "Top Ten Reasons To Use Swagbucks." Who better to decide those Top Ten Reasons then the engaged Swaggernauts that use Swag Bucks every day?
So here's how the contest works:
1) Send us an email to email@example.com with your Top Reason for using Swagbucks.
2) Make sure the email subject line says "Top Ten T-Shirt Contest".
3) You only need to send one Top Reason(not ten), but if you have multiple submissions then send them all in one email.
4) All submissions must be received by Tuesday, March 10th.
We will choose 10 Top Reasons from 10 different Swaggernauts to make our Top Ten List. If your Top Ten reason is chosen you will be immortalized on our T-Shirt with your name and hometown listed next to your idea. And just to sweeten the pot we'll give 25 Swag Bucks to each winner!
I'm excited to see your submissions and can't wait to get this T-Shirt created!

It's Tudorish! Tudor came into vogue in America around 1900 and quite a few Tudor styled houses were built in the 1920's and 30's. Your's looks like it was built in the 30's to me. |
That's what I've always thought -- it's the "ish" that got me. No dark beams anywhere, in fact, it's pretty light inside (white moldings everywhere). You were close on the date; it was built in 1926. Thanks for the response. |
- Posted by kennebunker (My Page) on Wed, Mar 22, 06 at 20:24
Glad to be of help. About half of the Tudor style houses built in America have no half-timbering or interior beams or any of that stuff. They were built to sort of mimic or echo the shape of medieval houses. They just have a pleasing shape to them. Many were decorated in a Colonial revival style inside. Colonial was HOT in the 20's and 30's if you look at home and women's magazines of the period. |

Hi, A "Period House" of the "English Cottage" persuasion. The designers were seeking to evoke a cozy, slightly more conventional, and definitely less intellectually demanding look than Arts & Crafts bungalows, which were fading from fashion in the late twenties. They, in turn, had been a reaction from the very florid and ornamental (some would say historically unhinged) late Victorian styles that fizzled around 1900. And so on and so on. Casey |
Interesting. So what does this all mean for interior decor -- i.e., what would the interior of a period house of the english cottage persuasion look like? The previous owner had floral and velvet, metallic flocked wallpaper everywhere, with long, yellowed, floor to ceiling drapes. We did away with all that, but my windows are still bare. Thanks! |

Most of today's magazines, books and websites don't show how people REALLY furnished their homes. They show what the rich and the avant garde were doing, not what regular folks put into their living rooms. Magazines of the period often showed chintz, the "Williamsburg" look, a sort of English country house look. You can get good ideas from watching some movies from the period, more particularily light weight comedic films. People watched them and were influenced by what they saw on the screen just as they are now, and what was on screen reflected what people liked at the time, same as now. I enjoy reading old home decorating and women's magazines from the 20's through the 50's. I don't find them as often as I used to. Here's a site from the Minnesota Historical Society that's fun. You can type into the box whatever you're looking for, like "living rooms", "kitchens", ballgames, etc., then put in the years you want it to search through. It will then pop up with photos that fit what you're looking for. http://collections.mnhs.org/visualresources/search.cfm?bhcp=1 I've got a few pictures of late 20's and 1930's rooms in one of my WEBSHOTS albums. There are several copies of ads there. |
I have what I would consider a "Tudor-ish" house (mid 1920s), with some arts and crafts and colonial features. It is all brick, with no stucco or half timbering, it has a slate roof with steep roof lines, rounded front door, very tall stone chimney and ornamental wrought iron. There are no beams at all inside. Some of the baseboards and window and door frames are stained dark, while all of the crown molding and some of the baseboards are painted white (not sure if this was originally stained and then painted or painted later- would they have painted the crown molding white and stained the baseboards?). I will try to post some pictures later on. |
- Posted by kennebunker (My Page) on Thu, Mar 23, 06 at 8:57
For sure Tudorish. I could show you picture after picture of houses from 20's and 30's....all brick or brick and stucco, no timbering, steep roof lines, rounded doorways, tall chimney, often right up the front. I always liked them. As for the contrasting crown and baseboard....I haven't seen such an example, but houses belong to individuals who each put their own stamp on a place. It may be original, or not, dunno. It's certainly practical. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Thu, Mar 23, 06 at 13:15
Rachel - The "Tudor-ish" house looks good with anything except "screaming modern" ... Victorian, shabby chic, arts and crafts, art nouveau, colonial, Ralf Lauren "country". They aren't formal and rigid. |
Thanks everyone! |
They also call them "Stockbroker Tudor's" due to the Stock market boom and housing boom of the 20's Your house is really great example. I have a 1928 Tudor much like yours and simply love it's unique style. It's a mishmash of Colonial, Bungalow, and a hint of Craftsman. Mine is cedar shingled, not brick, but they're are a ton of different styles of Tudors, all very unique. kennebunker.... |
Not Tudor properly, but rather English cottage revival, as characterized by the steep double pediments facing the street, the battered (angled) inset chimney, the fenestration and the corbeled surrounds. True Tudor Revivial would have utilized four or five point arches, some timbering, and faux details expressing braced frame construction. Lovely house, and thanks for sharing it with us. |

whitevenetino, your house looks like it would fit into my area very well, and we're both in NY. I'm in Rochester, are you close? There are a few Rochester-area posters on this old house forum. We should all meet at a Starbucks someday! |

Thank you, Chris. It is actually like a little cottage to me. |
Rachel37...do you have any interior photos to share? Our houses look very similar on the exterior. Mine has brown brick. Mine is also severely "remuddled" inside. I am trying to find pictures of others' tudorish homes to see what direction we should go in as we begin undoing the damage. |

I think we may have communicated already about my kitchen, but I will post some additional shots of what I have done with mine so far . . . . by whitevenetino |
In my neighborhood (late 20s Ford Motor boom homes), the Tudor revivals are mixed in with colonial revivals. The interiors are identical--well, stylewise. (No two Tudors seem to have the same floorplan.) The interiors are pretty much craftsmanish/typical late 20s style: coved ceilings in the public rooms, darker woodwork, oak floors. They aren't super fancy homes so the Tudorness stops at the funky arched door and they become pure 1928 inside. I've been wanting to go art deco, actually, but just haven't gotten around to it--leaks first, ya know? The more expensive homes do have the Tudor look inside, but it wouldn't really be accurate or practical to add it to a home that didn't have it already (but it would be fun to do some). It seems around here that the larger, more expensive homes had the beams and stuff inside, not just because it was more expensive to do, but because most of these homes aren't as large as they look and that Tudor business could really cramp a room. I think it is possible that your woodwork was always painted, but it may just as well have been stained. You may not want to go totally historically correct--if you saw the original paint color in my living room...ewwww that must have been a depressing place in the winter. |

Mike, where in Rochester are you? We're in Browncroft, and there are a few other Rochester-area folks who participate in this forum. Rochester's a good town for nice old houses. |
We have want to remodel this home, however we are unsure of the style- midcentry split, split level, or midcentry modern? Any advice is appreciated. |

problem regarding installation of foxit reader by wine in opensuse 11.1

Not all Windows programs will run under wine. If the program is not listed as known good on the wine site then it is a throw of the dice if it will work in wine. The best way to resolve it is to join a wine mail list and help the wine programmers to get it to work.

|||| Government ::
Tuvalu, one of the world's smallest independent nations, was formerly known as the Ellice Islands and was administered by Britain as part of a protectorate from 1892 to 1916 and as part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony from 1916 to 1974. In 1974, the Ellice Islanders voted for separate British dependency status as Tuvalu, separating from the Gilbert Islands which became Kiribati upon independence. Tuvalu became fully independent within the Commonwealth in 1978. Tuvalu is a constitutional monarchy with a 15-member unicameral parliament elected every four years. Cabinet consists of the prime minister, elected by a majority of the members of parliament, and several ministers. There are no organised political parties and members usually align themselves in informal groupings. Members of parliament generally have very close links with their island constituencies (two members are elected from each of the main islands and 1 member from the remaining island) and effort is directed towards balancing island representation in the cabinet.
Head of State | Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (since 1 October 1978) represented by His Excellency Sir Filoimea Telito (since 15 April 2005). |
Head of Government | Prime Minister Apisai Ielemia (since 14 August 2006). The prime minister is elected by a majority vote in the parliament. |
Executive | The Governor General appoints a cabinet on the recommendation of the prime minister. There are currently nine cabinet ministries: – Ministry for Communications and Transport – Ministry for Education and Sports – Ministry for Finance, Economic Planning and Industries – Ministry for Foreign Affairs – Ministry for Health – Ministry for Home Affairs, Rural, and Urban Development – Ministry for Natural Resources – Ministry for Works and Energy – Ministry of Public Utilities and Industry |
Civil Services | The prime minister appoints a cabinet, who together with the speaker of parliament typically form the government, with the remaining parliamentarians normally forming the opposition. Currently there are nine ministries (an additional two were created in 2007) which means governments can hold a comfortable seven seat majority, however in practice the cabinet positions are shared across a lesser number of ministers. Each ministry is headed by a cabinet member, who is assisted by a permanent secretary, a career public servant, who directs the staff of the ministry. Despite the priority to develop the human capital base and a generous scholarship program, the capacity of the public sector to deliver quality public services remains limited. Under the Tuvalu Public Service Act and a Public Service Ordinance and General Administrative Orders, the Public Service Commission is responsible for the efficient management and control of the entire public service, including recruitment, dismissal, promotions and performance monitoring. |
Local Government | Each of Tuvalu's eight inhabited islands is based around a single village and has a distinct sense of community and identity. Each island also has its own high- chief (ulu-aliki) and several sub-chiefs (alikis) and elders (te sina o fenua), and together they form an island council (falekaupule). The island councils of chiefs/ elders cooperate with the national government, and are the supreme authorities on matters of custom. Under the Falekaupule Act increasing autonomy was given to the island councils to determine development priorities within the central government's overall development goals of public sector reform, human resource development, improvement of the country's economic and education infrastructure and the further development of its capacity to manage its narrow resource base. A funding authority was correspondingly devolved from the central government and an outer island trust fund (the Falekaupule Trust Fund) was established. Tuvalu's significant development challenges are most evident in the outer islands. Residents of the outer island have very limited access to services and little if no opportunities for paid employment. This results in a dependence on family members – either through remittances from international seafarers or those employed in the public service based in the capital – Funafuti. The allocations to the island councils through the Falekaupule Trust Fund has proved to be an important decentralisation measure and has provided resources for local level community projects, which in turn have generated some income earning opportunities for those living in the outer islands. Lack of transport infrastructure and the dispersal of the small population across nine remote atolls severely constrains service delivery and income generating opportunities in the outer islands. This has resulted in continuing high migration rates from the outer islands to the capital and overseas. |
Judiciary | The court system consists of: The High Court with unlimited jurisdiction (a chief justice visits twice a year to preside over its sessions and its ruling can be appealed to the Court of Appeal in Fiji. Magistrates' Courts with summary jurisdiction that includes: criminal cases that have a maximum punishment not exceeding 5 years' imprisonment and/or fine of up to $1,000; civil cases involving amounts up to $10,000; and appeals from island courts. Eight Island Courts with jurisdiction within the boundaries of the island on which they are established and over inland and adjacent waters. Within that area they have summary jurisdiction to deal with limited civil matters, including: divorce, child custody, claims in contract and tort where the amount involved does not exceed $60; some minor criminal offences (where the maximum punishment for which is a fine of $100 and/or a period of imprisonment of six months). There are five sources of law in Tuvalu: the Constitution, acts of Parliament, customary law, applied laws, and the common law. In addition, international law also applies in Tuvalu. |

|||| National Strategy and Goals ::
Tuvalu's Te Kakeega II National Strategy for Sustainable Development 2005 -2015 is the overarching strategic framework that covers: (i) good governance; (ii) macroeconomic growth and stability; (iii) social development (health, welfare, youth, gender, housing, and poverty alleviation); (iv) outer island and falekaupule (local island council) development; (v) employment and private sector development; (vi) human resource development; (vii) natural resources (agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and environmental management); and (viii) infrastructure and support services. In light of the small population, the limited resource endowments, and subsequently limited opportunities in the country, the government is focusing on human development as the primary goal in implementing Te Kakeega II. Its small size and geographic isolation presents Tuvalu with a series of significant development challenges, which have been compounded by the threat of climate change. Spread over a scattered group of nine atolls, the country has a total land area of only 26 square kilometres and the highest elevation is 4.6 metres above sea level (on Niulakita). Faced with these challenges, Tuvalu, together with its development partners, has embarked on measures to strengthen its human resource base, economic planning and reform to the public sector. The main challenge for the government is to correct the fiscal imbalance and produce a credible budget with appropriate allocations to the priority social development sectors. Tuvalu has struggled to produce credible and prioritised budgets in past years due to: weak budgeting skills across ministries, limited recording or monitoring of expenditures, poor accounting of donor-funded activities, capacity constraints in ministries preparing sector plans with financial forecasts, and legacies of past policy decisions. Successive governments have focused on education and health in recognition of the country's primary asset; its human capital. The government depends heavily on donor grants and transfers from the Tuvalu Trust Fund to fund the recurrent budget. The Tuvalu Trust Fund was established in 1987 (with an initial injection of $27m by the governments of Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom) as a supplement to cover shortfalls in the national budget. The major exceptions to the budget deficit being financed by drawdown from the trust fund were in 1999 and 2000, when loan funds were used to finance one off capital projects. In 2009, the global recession impacted on the market value of the Tuvalu Trust Fund and with uncertain market conditions, distributions from the fund do not look likely for some years. In Tuvalu's micro-sized economy, even small capital projects can result in short term, high economic and employment growth, but the stimulus can quickly dissipate. An area of potential financial risk is that posed by state owned enterprises (SOEs). The Tuvalu Electricity Commission and Telecommunications Corporation both receive substantial government subsidies – with the aim of keeping prices down in the rural areas. The Public Enterprise Reform and Management Unit within the finance ministry is working to strengthen SOE reporting and monitoring.
Overview of key national strategies for improving governance[5]
Key Policy Objectives | 1. Public Administration – reform public service on a par with available resources. 2. Fiscal Stability – restore fiscal management and discipline. 3. Public Enterprises – reduce subsidies. 4. Falekaupule (traditional island assembly) – institutionalise good governance practices at the Falekaupule level and institute reforms to improve availability of land for development and improve urban planning and management. |
Public Sector Reform | Realign the role and size of the public service. Each department prepare 2-3 year sector master plans. Identify departments that can be reorganised for commercialization. Contract out senior public service posts. Clarify the roles of Minister, Secretary, and heads of department to eliminate political interference. Review policy on public servants owning private businesses. |
Fiscal Management | Set strict compliance to fiscal targets, review Public Finance Act, Financial Instructions, Stores Regulations and other related legislation. Formulate medium-term fiscal policy framework and establish a Macroeconomic Policy Committee. Restructure tax and tariff regimes. |
Public Enterprise Management | Produce annual reports and audited accounts and make available to the public. Clearly define, cost out, and better target government subsidies. Assess the viability of privatising selected public enterprises. Improve selection process of Boards of Directors. Establish clear guidelines on the roles and responsibilities of Ministers, the Board, and Management of public enterprises. |
|||| Traditional Government ::
Prior to colonisation decision-making in Tuvalu was vested in the island high chiefs (Ulu Aliki), included dealing with all administrative matters and the right to dispense justice and punishment. Chiefly title was generally passed from one generation to the next. The arrival of the missionaries saw the emergence of church leaders rivalling traditional chiefs, a situation that exists today where church leaders are afforded similar respect to traditional chiefs. Following independence in 1987, the Constitution sought to protect the traditional values of Tuvalu. In 1997, the Falekaupule Act established a local government system that was based on the traditional ways of decision making in Tuvaluan society, with administrative decision making passed to an elected island council (Kaupule) under the control of a island president (the Pule o Kaupule) and a Secretary. While the situation varies across the atolls, the position of high chief is increasingly elected rather than hereditary and the Ulu Aliki is a member of the Kaupule. The head of the family (matai) will represent the family in local affairs and is responsible for sharing the fruits of the land and dealing with the needs of the family. Land is generally held in communal ownership and cannot be alienated (sold to a non-citizen).
|||| Economy ::
GNI per person 2007 (Atlas method) | US$2,720 [2] |
GDP current (2008 estimate) | US$28.3m [3] |
GDP per capita 2008 estimate | US$2,874 [3] |
Labour market' Formal sector
Number of employees | 3,869 [1] |
% of workforce | 40.5% [1] |
% Female | 31.1% [1] |
% Public sector | 40.3% [1] |
The micro economy of Tuvalu, like much of the Pacific, is extremely vulnerable to external shocks both natural and economic. As a result its economic performance tends to be equally volatile. The main centres of economic activity are fishing and substance farming. There are nascent tourism and retail industries; however, the majority of the country's income stems from external flows such as grants from donors, receipts from the trust fund and remittances from seamen working on overseas vessels. The result of this large reliance on non tax income means that income flows tend to be quite unstable, however, at the same time, it is unlikely that they will cease in the medium term, even though the quantum of income may change. In such an environment the trust fund and donor flows act as an important financial buffer against this financial uncertainty. The government is pursing public sector reforms in line with the Te Kakeega II 2005-2015 strategic plan to improve financial stability. Key reforms include debt management; privatisation of some government functions; and improved public financial management capacity. Tax reforms were implemented in late 2008 and included changes to personal income tax (higher threshold and more progressive scale), business/net profit changes (uniform 30% tax rate), and introduction of the Tuvalu Consumption Tax (TCT). Moreover, customs reforms (tariff reductions to reflect trade agreements, introduction of excise duties, change of customs valuation systems, reduction of tariff exemptions and removal of sales tax) were also approved by parliament in mid 2009. A revenue monitoring framework has been developed and estimates of revenues from customs and the TCT derived were used in formulating the 2010 budget. With the majority of the population engaged in subsistence farming and fishing, the money economy is dominated by government activity. Fishing licences and marketing of its internet domain name '.tv' contribute to government revenue. A private sector-led economy has yet to emerge; and given the inherent constraints in such a small country, the reality is that the private sector may never lead the economy.
|||| Communications ::
Freedom of speech and media freedom is generally respected in Tuvalu, although the main media forms are government operated and owned.
Telephone | Radio telephones between islands and international calls can be made via satellite. |
Internet | 43,00 users as of June 2010 [6]. 1580 Facebook users as of March 2011 (12.77% of population) [7]. |
Newspapers | Tuvalu fortnightly newspaper: Tuvalu Echoes covers Sikuleo o Tuvalu (government news). |
Television | Foreign television received via satellite. |
Radio | Tuvalu Media Corporation is state owned and operates Radio Tuvalu (FM with BBC relays). |
|||| Military and Police ::
Tuvalu has no regular military forces. Its police force includes a Maritime Surveillance Unit for search and rescue missions and surveillance operations. The police have a Pacific-class patrol boat (HMTSS Te Mataili) provided by Australia under the Pacific Patrol Boat Program for use in maritime surveillance and fishery patrol. Tuvalu has provided police officers to the Regional Assistance Mission (RAMSI) to Solomon Islands since December 2004.
|||| Donor Support ::
Tuvalu relies heavily on international donor assistance, accounting for approximately 63 per cent of the 2008 recurrent budget. Taiwan and Japan are the major donors for capital investment projects. Australia, New Zealand and the European Union are also considerable aid providers. Australia's aid program is currently guided by the Tuvalu-Australia Pacific Partnership for Development (signed August 2009), which currently focuses on the prudent management of the country's limited resources to support Tuvalu's economic prospects and achievement of Te Kakeega II: National Strategy for Sustainable Development 2005 – 2015 and the Millennium Development Goals (including improved delivery of essential health and education services and development of private sector activity). Priorities of the partnership include stronger public financial management of Tuvalu's limited economic resources, which includes: ␣␣ Continued annual financial support to the Tuvalu Trust Fund ␣␣ Performance linked budget support to the Consolidated Investment Fund (CIF) linked to reform ␣␣ Targeted in-line advisers in key central economic and oversight institutions ␣␣ A medium term expenditure framework for the health and education sectors.

It's pumpkin carving time and here's a tip to make your jack o'lantern last!
After you scoop out and carve your pumpkin, dip it in a large container of bleach and water (use a 1 tsp:1 gal mix). The bleach will kill bacteria and help your pumpkin stay fresh longer. Once completely dry, (drain upside down), add 2 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to a quart of water. Brush this solution onto your pumpkin to keep it looking fresh for weeks."

The Lady Mustang standout fired a two-day 173 total on the River Islands Golf Club on the Kodak course, giving her second place by a stroke over Allie Woodward, out of Unicoi County. Clarksville's Samantha Gotcher won the division with a 167 tally.
The event was the second of the year for Bishop on the HJGT as she had a seventh place finish at the Hilton Head National Junior Classic in January. She had fired an 85-84 — 169 at the Hilton Head National Golf Club course on Hilton Head Island, S.C.
The girl's 15-18 age division exhibited a great situation of overcoming adversity. It is not uncommon for individuals to falter under the pressure of being in the lead pairing on the final day, but on this particular weekend each of the three girls in the lead group on Sunday went home with a trophy.
A recent commit to Middle Tennessee State University, Gotcher prevailed on the final day, dominating the par 5s with a 5.40 average. She shot a division-leading 15 pars playing smart and safe golf throughout the tournament.
Bishop placed second in the event, shooting rounds of 88 and 85. With a 3.70 average on par 3s and a 4.62 average on par 4s, Bishop played consistent golf. Woodward struggled on the back 9 on day two after nearly matching her day one score on the front.
Based out of Jacksonville, Fla., the HJGT was founded in Florida. Operating primarily out of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, this season the tour sought to expand services to junior golfers in North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee and Ohio.
As the No. 1 ranked course in East Tennessee, River Islands has recently converted its greens from bent grass to Bermuda which posed a difficulty for the juniors. The weather fluctuated between the 60s and 70s throughout the weekend. The tournament was ranked by the National Junior Golf Scoreboard and scouts from the National Scouting Report were present for increased exposure.
The winner in each division received an automatic invitation to the 2013 Tour Championship. Across each age division points were distributed to the top 10 finishers and these points will amass toward year-end honors which include state teams, ALL HJGT teams, and the Hurricane Cup.
The boy's 15-18 age division concluded in a tie for first between Jordan Gumberg of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Zach Haynes of Smyrna. The tie led to a two-hole playoff, where Gumberg managed to subdue his opponent on the green with a nice putt to seal the victory.
The most exciting spectator division of the weekend was the boys' 11-14 age division. Luke Scealf of Knoxville shot a 160 to oust his competition by two strokes. After shooting a 79 Saturday Scealf was on pace to shoot a 77 but double bogeyed holes 17 and 18.
Scealf's scorecard unveiled an eagle, four birdies and a handful of pars. Second place was sealed by Dougan Annan of Avondale Estates, Ga. Annan struggled to get comfortable with the greens out the gate and had a tough time posting desirable scores. He bounced back day two to solidify second with an impressive round of 79. In third place was Micah Knisley of Jefferson City. Knisley played consistent par golf, soaring way past his competition with 22 total pars.

The latest example of this is the 10:10-branded 'green bottle', which French producer Joseph Mellot have chosen to launch their new Sauvignon Blanc.
Weighing in at just 58g, Joseph Mellot's creation is by far the lightest and toughest proper wine bottle ever made, which makes transporting it easier, cheaper, and a great deal greener.
The secret?They ditched heavy, energy-intensive glass in favour of an ultra hi-tech plastic. This miracle material is not only virtually unbreakable: it's also specially designed with UV and oxygen blockers to keep the product at its best for much longer than normal plastic.
The green bottle is exclusive to Joseph Mellot's 2009 Sauvignon Blanc for now, but you can expect to see it popping up all over the place before too long.
Way back in the week after our September 1st launch we received an email from the lovely Andy at Mistral Wines, Joseph Mellot's UK distributor. "It is with great interest," he wrote "that I have discovered your campaign both personally and professionally."
It transpired that Joseph Mellot was developing a special plastic bottle for the launch of their new Sauvignon Blanc. The aim was to overcome the 'cheap' reputation and short lifespan that had held back plastic wine bottles in the past, and spark an industry sea change comparable to that ushered in by the humble (and once much-mocked) screw cap.
Andy thought that the massive carbon benefits of the new bottle made it a perfect fit with 10:10's aims, and that we could work together to educate consumers.
Knowing nothing about wine (except that it tastes good after a hard day's 10:10ing), but being an enthusiastic bunch we wrote back to Andy and said "Yey, go for it!" Then, we must confess, promptly forgot all about it until Andy resurfaced a few weeks ago with a case of handsome green bottles, the offer of a tasting and a great story of collaboration.
