2013 Muddy Water Sauvignon Blanc Waipara Valley
Review Date: 9-2-2014
This is NOT your average Kiwi SB. First, it's not from Marlborough. Second, it's farmed organically and uses native yeast for fermentation. And third, it's 90% barrel fermented with more neutral than new oak. The bouquet opens with a flinty and leesy note along with more stone fruit character of white peach and nectarine. On the palate there is good weight, with a figgy richness and creamy texture. Good acidity keeps it juicy and long on the finish.
Price: Hidden
2012 Pisa Range Estate "Black Poplar Block" Pinot Noir Central Otago
Review Date: 8-25-2014
This is another top flight Pinot from Central Otago, and a new one in our portfolio as well. In fact, I was drinking this wine in downtown Napa five hours before the quake hit. So, it could have been the last wine I was to have drank in my glorious and wine-filled life. And that would have been just fine and without any regrets! The nose shows purity of fruit with dark plum and black cherry abundantly displayed with notes of earth and dried orange peel. On the palate, the wine is juicy, with good drive, structure and fine, supple tannins that lead to a long finish. Truly a lovely bottle of Pinot Noir.
Price: $39.99
2013 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Pinot Noir Marlborough
Review Date: 7-16-2014
The wines from Te Whare Ra have been turning heads since we've brought them into our New Zealand category, and the 2013s may be the best to date.
The Pinot shows lovely dark plum, strawberry, cherry, light toasty oak, earth/clay notes, a hint of rose petal, tea bag and spice. On the palate, the wine has soft supple tannins that are balanced and harmonious with a long, persistent finish.
Price: $26.99
2013 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough
Review Date: 7-16-2014
The TWR savvy is bright with aromas of white grapefruit, passion fruit, gooseberry and a hint of tarragon. On the palate there is good texture and vibrant acidity that lead to a snappy, zesty finish with fine length. As good as it gets in a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Price: $18.99
2012 Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 7-7-2014
Beringer, which is located in Napa Valley, has been producing this wine from Sonoma County's Knights Valley appellation for some time now, and it has always remained a consistent value in California Cabernet. The vineyard lies at a higher elevation than Alexander Valley in Sonoma County, and manages to combine the suppleness of that AVA with the fine tannin structure of Knights Valley. The bouquet offers black cherry, dark plum, cassis, earth and a hint of bittersweet chocolate. On the palate, there is the previously mentioned supple tannins blended with a fine dusting of cocoa powder, bringing the finer-grained, firmer tannin structure. It's all framed by lightly toasted oak that is well-integrated, with good length.
Price: $22.99
2013 Grey's Peak (Greystone) Sauvignon Blanc Waipara Valley
Review Date: 5-21-2014
The Grey's Peak Savvy from Waipara shows a different side to this country's famous wines from Marlborough. The nose shows more citrus and a floral powdery note. On the palate the wine is richer and more round yet still has great supporting acidity and texture with a long, refreshing finish. You'll want to spend some time this summer with this baby!
Price: $14.99
2012 Penfolds "Bin 8" Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz South Australia
Review Date: 4-22-2014
Besides the great classic blends of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre in Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz is the other as you just don't see alot of Merlot in Oz. One of the great wines that I have lucky to taste was the 1976 Bin 389 Cab-Shiraz about 6 years ago and it was amazingly complex and very much alive. This new Bin 8 in the Penfolds portfolio is an excellent entre to the style of Bin 389 at half the price. The nose shows notes of plum, mullberry, black currant, cedar and a nuanced oak toast. On the palate there are fine tannins with a juicy mouthfeel and very nice length. This is pretty serious wine for the money from one of Australia's greatest producers.
Price: $19.99
2012 Penfolds "Bin 138" Old Vine Grenache-Shiraz-Mataro Barossa Valley
Review Date: 4-22-2014
The Bin 138 is a blend of 66% Shiraz, 23% Grenache and 11% Mataro (Mourvedre)that belongs in the hands of anyone whois a fan of these classic Aussie blends or wines from the Southern Rhone Valley. The nose is lifted with blueberry, black raspberry,pepper, leather, roasted grains, damp earth, bittersweet chocolate and a light pencil lead/graphite note. On the palate the wine is polished and refined with fine grained tanninns, good structure and a long persistent finish. A few years in the cellar will only reward or decant for an hour or two in the near term.
Price: $38.99
2011 Te Mata "Awatea" Bordeaux Blend Hawkes Bay
Review Date: 4-10-2014
Here's the "little brother" to the Coleraine and one that you can enjoy on the earlier side. Showing a similar core of fruit with plum, cherry and minerals, it is more medium bodied with a hint of savoury herbs as well. There is still fine grained tannins, but with a softer edge to the structure.
Price: $24.99
2010 Wiston Estate "South Downs Cuvée" Brut West Sussex England
Review Date: 2-21-2014
The Wiston "South Downs Cuvee" compared to the Gusbourne shows a more linear chiseled feel with a bouquet that offers mineral, Fuji/green apple, light toast and lemony yeasty notes. On the palate, the wine is fresh, bright and crisp with fine acidity supporting the long, persistent, zesty finish. This would reward some cellar time as well. If Jim Barr can give a wine wags of his dogs tail for a rating, I'm giving this Five Queen's wave of the hand!
Price: $39.99
2008 Gusbourne Estate Brut Reserve, Kent, England
Review Date: 2-19-2014
The Gusbourne has a detailed fine bead and a nose that shows a nutty almond and yeasty note along with hints of honey, poached pear, brioche and dried tangerine peel. On the palate there is a lovely texture and richness from spending 3 1/2 years on the lees, that all comes together with excellent balance and length.
Price: $29.99
2011 Fromm "La Strada" Pinot Noir Marlborough
Review Date: 11-13-2013
The 2010 La Strada Pinot Noir which scored 94-95 points from James Suckling, was a runaway success earlier this year with nearly 3,000 bottles sold. The 2011 though not yet rated, is a more than worthy follow up from this certified organic winery that is one of the top producers in Marlborough if not all New Zealand. The wine has a bouquet that is bright and lifted with raspberry, cherry, white pepper, clove, dried tangerine peel, and a subtle use of integrated oak. On the palate, ripe plum notes are added to the great purity of fruit which is supported by good acidity and a fine grained tannin structure that leads to a long persistent finish. While very drinkable now, you can put some away and be quite happy that you did for a modest price.
Price: $19.99

so im just finishing up one of these builds for my kegerator and just had a few questions i hope you guys could help me out with. i have the temp set at 5* C aka 40* F. Thats a good temp for a kegerator right? i left the difference value and temp calibration at the defaualt settings. is that ok? i set the compressor delay time at 5 mins. is that ok? and the most important question. how did you guys make those awesome temperature chart stickers for the top of the unit? thanks guys in advance cheers
You can set the temp for whatever temp you like your beer at. Consulting a carb/temp chart will tell you what pressure to set. Colder can sometimes help compensate for foaming issues. Diff needs to be set to something reasonable. Too small will result unnecessary cycling, and an early death of your compressor. The smaller the thermal mass your probe is on/in, the higher the diff should be. For serving beer, a good approach is to tape then insulate (or submerge) the probe to a container full of water that is the approximate size of the smallest serving vessel under pressure regulator control. If the vessel is at least 12oz., you can set the diff to the minimum (.3C?) if you want, but .5C is more than sufficient. The smaller the diff (and thermal mass the probe is on) the more the fridge will cycle, which is bad for your compressor. Putting the bare probe in air is bad idea with the standard probe. It is very fast responding and will kill your compressor. Be aware that if you set the temp close to 0C, and/or place the probe in/on a large thermal mass (larger than the smallest bottle), any bottles in the kegerator may freeze and shatter. Cal is used to correct for probe offsets. The offset can be determined by putting your probe in ice water. Set the compressor delay to its maximum (10 or 12 minutes, I forget). The long delay should never come into play for normal temp control. If you are cycling < 10 min, you have something set up wrong. This setting will help prevent short cycling due to door openings, screwing around with the probe, etc. Short cycling can kill a compressor in less than an hour given the right conditions.
thank you i was unaware that the settings were so important.
What tab are you supposed to remove to separate the heating and cooling?
Thanks CWI, I'm still not sure which ones to break off, so I'll try and explain where my wires run and see if you can give me a little more insight. While the outlet is facing up, I have the top left post conntected to #2 on controller, bottom left post runs to the extension cord, top right post connected to #6, and bottom right post connected to #8.
Thanks for the help guys. I'm a visual guy, reading something without photos doesn't always do proper justice.

text: Robert H. Grubbs was born near Possum Trot, Kentucky and studied Chemistry at the University of Florida, Gainesville (B.S. and M.S.) and Columbia University, New York, where he obained his Ph.D. under Ronald Breslow in 1968. Following a one-year NIH postdoctoral fellowship with James Collman at Stanford University he was appointed to the faculty of Michigan State University. In 1978 he moved to California Institute of Technology where he is presently Victor and Elizabeth Atkins Professor of Chemistry. His research interests involve the design, synthesis, and mechanistic studies of complexes that catalyze useful organic transformations. In recent years the major focus of his group has been on the development of catalysts for the olefin metathesis reaction that are extremely tolerant of organic functional groups, and their use in the ring opening polymerization of cyclic olefins to yield polymers with useful mechanical, electronic or optcal properties. These catalysts are also widely use in organic synthesis and the "Grubbs catalyst" is even commercially available. Professor Grubbs's many awards have included Alfred P. Sloan Fellow (1974-76), Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (1975-78), Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (1975), ACS National Award in Organometallic Chemistry (1988), Arthur C. Cope Scholar (1990), ACS Award in polymer Chemistry (1995), Nagoya Medal of Organic Chemistry (1997), Fluka Reagent of the Year (1998), Mack Memorial Award (1999), Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry (2000), ACS Herman F. Mark Polymer Chemistry Award (2000) and ACS Herbert C. Brown Award for Creative Research in Synthetic Methods (2001). He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1989 and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1994.

See biography by E. Hamilton (1976); study by Q. Bone (1972).
(born Nov. 25, 1609, Paris, France—died Sept. 10, 1669, Château de Colombes, near Paris) French-born English queen, wife of Charles I and mother of Charles II and James II. The daughter of Henry IV of France and Marie de Médicis, she was no stranger to political intrigue. By openly practicing Roman Catholicism at court, she alienated many of Charles's subjects. As the English Civil Wars approached, she sought without success to instigate a military coup to overthrow the Parliamentarians. Her further efforts to enlist support for Charles from the pope, the French, and the Dutch infuriated many Englishmen. Deterioration of the Royalist position caused her to flee to France in 1644, and she never again saw her husband, who was executed in 1649.
Learn more about Henrietta Maria with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Henrietta Maria (25 November 1609 – 10 September 1669), was Princess of France and Queen Consort of England, Scotland and Ireland (13 June 1625 – 30 January 1649) through her marriage to Charles I. She was the mother of two kings, Charles II and James II, and was grandmother to Mary II, William III, and Queen Anne.
She was born at the Palais du Louvre on 25 November 1609, but some historians give her a birthdate of 26 November. In England, where the Julian calendar was still in use, her date of birth is often recorded as 16 November. Henrietta Maria was brought up as a Roman Catholic. This made her an unpopular choice of wife for the English King, whom she married by proxy on 11 May 1625, shortly after his accession to the throne.
They were married in person at St. Augustine's Church, Canterbury, Kent, on 13 June 1625. However, her religion made it impossible for her to be crowned with her husband in an Anglican service. Initially their relationship was rather frigid. Henrietta Maria had brought a large and expensive retinue with her from France, all of them Roman Catholic. It is said that eventually Charles sent them home to France, only allowing his teenage bride to retain her chaplain and confessor, Robert Phillip, and two ladies in waiting. Finding her sadly watching the retinue depart for France at the window of a palace, Charles angrily and forcibly dragged his wayward queen away.
Charles had intended to marry Maria Anna, a daughter of Philip III of Spain, but a mission to Spain in 1623 had failed. Perhaps this earlier disappointment explains why relations with his French bride were strained; every time the couple met, they started arguing and would separate, not seeing each other for weeks. When next they met, again they had to separate, because they could not stop arguing.
Henrietta Maria took an immediate dislike to George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, the King's favourite. However, after Buckingham's death in August 1628, her relationship with her husband, Charles I, improved and they finally forged deep bonds of love and affection. Her refusal to give up her Catholic faith alienated her from many of the people and certain powerful courtiers such as William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury and Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford. Charles, on the other hand, had definite leanings towards Catholicism, and, once he had reached maturity, did not share his father's sexual ambivalence.
Henrietta Maria increasingly took part in national affairs as the country moved towards open conflict through the 1630s. She despised Puritan courtiers to deflect a diplomatic approach to Spain and sought a coup to pre-empt the Parliamentarians. As war approached she was active in seeking funds and support for her husband, but her concentration on Catholic sources like Pope Urban VIII and the French angered many in England and hindered Charles' efforts. She was also sympathetic to her fellow Catholics and even gave a requiem in her private chapel at Somerset House for Father Richard Blount, S.J. upon his death in 1638.
In August 1642, when the conflict began, she was in Europe. She continued to raise money for the Royalist cause, and did not return to England until early 1643. She landed at Bridlington in Yorkshire with troops and arms, and joined the Royalist forces in northern England, making her headquarters at York. She remained with the army in the north for some months before rejoining the King at Oxford. The collapse of the king's position following Scottish intervention on the side of Parliament, and his refusal to accept stringent terms for a settlement led her to flee to France with her sons in July 1644. Charles was executed in 1649, leaving her almost destitute.
Henrietta Maria died at Château de Colombes, and was buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica near Paris.
The slave ship Henrietta Marie (which carried slaves to what is now the United States and sank 35 miles off the coast of Key West after selling 190 slaves to Jamaica in 1701) is also named after Henrietta Maria.

Why Highpower International (HPJ) Is SkyrocketingToday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Highpower International (HPJ - Get Report) skyrocketed 44.1% to $4.54 just before noon on Tuesday after the company, which produces and sells rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, announced its first-ever order for large format lithium batteries.
Huizhou Yipeng Energy Technology, a system integrator that serves several large bus manufacturers throughout China, will use the batteries in its electric buses. The order marks Highpower's first major entry into the electric vehicle market. As part of the deal, Highpower will deliver two formats of product, including 16-ampere-hour and 20-ampere-hour NCM lithium polymer batteries that have passed the quality test from China National Quality Center and Huizhou Yipeng.
The company expects sales to Huizhou Yipeng to range between $4 million and $5 million in the fiscal year 2014.
Some of China's most well-known brands of hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric buses will use the batteries. The company's press release estimates each hybrid electric bus will use 96 of the 16-ampere-hour batteries, while each plug-in hybrid electric bus will use 288 of the 20-ampere-hour batteries.
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates HIGHPOWER INTERNATIONAL INC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate HIGHPOWER INTERNATIONAL INC (HPJ) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and compelling growth in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk, poor profit margins and weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 7.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 21.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displaying stagnant earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, HPJ's share price has jumped by 176.69%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- HIGHPOWER INTERNATIONAL INC reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. This company has not demonstrated a clear trend in earnings over the past 2 years, making it difficult to accurately predict earnings for the coming year. During the past fiscal year, HIGHPOWER INTERNATIONAL INC turned its bottom line around by earning $0.13 versus -$0.18 in the prior year.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $0.26 million or 23.75% when compared to the same quarter last year. In conjunction, when comparing current results to the industry average, HIGHPOWER INTERNATIONAL INC has marginally lower results.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.17 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. To add to this, HPJ has a quick ratio of 0.68, this demonstrates the lack of ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.

Hello from Connecticut. Despite being born in Jersey into an anti family, being educated in New York, and now a PhD student in Connecticut, I still managed to be pro-2A.
The internet and the NRA pistol course have been my only sources of information, as no one in my family or circle of friends carry (to my knowledge), and most are very anti, with the exception of my girlfriend. As you know, academia is very unfriendly to talk of CCW, so I dare not mention anything to my colleagues.
Reading these forums here have been especially helpful, my thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge.

What the eyes want to see is what they ought to see, But reality lies only within me. They can't understand, because they only stare. I'm tired of listening but still here I am. Tears had fallen already from my eyes, Still they don't understand why am I like an ice, What am I made of that they hate? Am I the only one they see as a mistake? Crying alone in the oblivion they made, With this heart shouting for His grace. Am I a mistake needed to be erased? Or am I just afraid of the situation I need to face? Am I a scarlet letter considered as a disgrace? I need them to tell me. I want to feel no more. Silent tears of a face covered with a broken mask.

It was aggravated by the fact that the U.S. was ground zero. We can […]

CERAWeek: Can utilities handle electric cars?
If electric cars take hold among American drivers, electricity infrastructure will need to adjust to handle the extra load. Andrew Tang, senior director of Pacific Gas & Electric's Smart Energy Web, said utilities can craft programs to urge consumers to plug in their electric cars and hybrids during off-peak hours or the grid will need […]

CERAWeek: Electric cars, trading emissions with utilities?
OK, that electric car won't spit emissions from the exhaust pipe, and a hybrid spits less. But when they're plugged in to recharge, don't they just add that many more emissions from the power plant providing the electricity, effectively switching the emissions from the tailpipe to the smokestack? A little, says Andrew Tang, senior director […]

The National Endowment for the Humanities continues its cooperation with the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft e.V., DFG) by offering another round of funding for the NEH/DFG Bilateral Digital Humanities Program.
One Culture: Computationally Intensive Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences
I'm pleased to say that we've just posted the new guidelines for our Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants program. The deadline this year is September 25, 2012. Each year, we make small changes to our grant guidelines based on feedback and discussions with the field. This year, in the section where we list the types of things the program funds, we added a new bullet:
The Mapping Texts project, a collaboration between the University of North Texas and Stanford University, recently released two new interactive visualizations that allow users to map language patterns embedded in 230,000 pages of digitized historical newspapers from the late 1820s through the early 2000s.
With the announcement of our most recent round of 22 funded Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants projects and the continued accomplishments of many other ODH projects, we have seen a number of news stories in recent weeks featuring ODH grantees.
In today's Chronicle of Higher Education, there is a terrific profile of NYPL Labs -- the digital innovation arm of the New York Public Library. The article by Jennifer Howard is called "Breaking Down Menus Digitally, Dish by Dish" and discusses some of the innovative and engaging ways that NYPL Labs is helping to develop the library of the future.

Seeing as how the,The omnipetent leader of all things colts,has chose to complain(as always) about flagging db's. Should the Pats go 5 wide early and often???
If the Pats can go to Indy and win this thing, can you just imagine how livid Polian is going to be? I would feel sorry for his family. I think the man will have a coronary. I would not want to be Tony Dungy, if that happens. EZ76
I actually think that's their best shot at winning. Throw early and often, short routes and 15-20 yard slant outs. If the Colts just sit in that cover 2, brady's going to shred them. We all know how he plays in domes. The Colts D is playing well against the run, fine. Pick on those corners, get Watson and Graham out in space with Cato June in coverage, and run Faulk on 3rd down. I don't believe in this magical Colts defensive resurgence. Baltimore only scored 3 in Denver in one game, and generally I didn't think that their offensive gameplan was very well thought out. The Chiefs...well jesus, they were lucky to be in the playoffs in the first place. We really, really, really gotta get pressure on Manning. The blitz schemes are going to define a lot of the day. I sort of don't get why people think that the Colts are going to walk over the Pats. I see the mystique, but this is a Colts team that lost in Houston and only won by 1 against Tennessee at home. They've certainly dismantled a few teams (Eagles, Bengals), but if we can get a lead and start running the ball, it could get ugly. I dunno, though, could go both ways, right?
Whatever happens to polian,Is his fault. Dungy I do feel bad for,He seems like a good man. I hate that commercial where he speaks to his player in the car while on a date. All I can think about is his son.
Miss Tom Curran lots from Projo. But it's fun to get some of his more national obserations and perspectives. It has been so politically correct and derigour for the national media pundits to ball-wash the Colts for lo these many years. Hope he doesn't get labelled politically 'incorrect' for shedding the light of day on Polian's antics. Great to have it put out there in national media. Go Tom.
I respectfully disagree, to a degree. I think we have the better team on both sides of the ball. The only position that they might be better than we have is wr's. The only thing I fear about them is (the turnover ratio). That's usually what decides games
I don't actually think we should play smashmouth versus the Colts. The reason for my post was that NaPolian has recently *****ed about power running, and he blames teams who blitz and defend well in the secondary because it supposedly discourages the pass. Therefore power running would be NaPolian's worst nightmare. Check out SVN's link. The man is a real anus.
I liked his comment that, even the author of the piece noted, he said something about not picking apart the teams and then calling the chargers stupid. I think it's a yearly tradition for Billy Polian to make an ass out of himself.

Monday night was a case in point. It took nearly an hour and a half to get the Atlanta Falcons and the Denver Broncos out of the first quarter. Replay officials reversed three on-field calls in the first 30 minutes of the game. Beyond that, the referees gave a fumble recovery to the Falcons despite the fact that a Bronco came out of the pile with the ball – leading to an on-field shoving match among the players. At another point, the referees mistakenly gave the Broncos 11 yards for what should have been a five-yard penalty.
Michael McCann, a sports law expert at Vermont Law School, gave the replacements' overall Week 2 effort a C-minus.
"The replacement officials are in way over their heads, and they can't control the game at this level," writes Bryan Burwell, a sports columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "With the replacements on the field … NFL games were teetering on the edge of uncontrolled, borderline riots."
The union representing the 121 regular NFL referees wants higher pay – the referees now share an annual salary package of $18 million – and better retirement benefits, all of which would cost each team approximately an extra $100,000 a year. The league says it wants to keep the status quo.
The lockout has led to one historic moment: Shannon Eastin, a college referee, became the first woman to referee an NFL game. But the replacements may also be tarnishing the league's reputation.
