Etude Pinot Gris 2009
Pinot Gris/Grigio from Carneros, California
Winemaker's Notes
This Etude Pinot Gris opens with inviting aromas of white stone fruit, honey suckle and jasmine. The pure flavors of white peach, nectarine and Meyer lemon carry over on the palate and mingle with subtle lemon-lime notes. Crisp acidity opens up to reveal minerality that keeps the wine lifted, focused and refreshing.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "A beautiful Pinot Gris that defines the drier, more elegant style in California. This 2009 is entirely consistent with past vintages from Etude, which have been superior. Shows Meyer lemon, lime, vanilla and peppery spice flavors, with a long, distinguished finish. Etude hasn't rasied the price in many years. Production was 3,319 cases. Editors' Choice."
Etude Winery
The underlying philosophy at Etude Wines is that winemaking begins in the vineyard, long before the grapes are harvested. Winemaker, Jon Priest, believes that superior grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker, resulting in authentic varietal expression. View all Etude Wines
About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Premier Zhao Ziyangby Ziyang Zhao
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Zhao may be more dangerous in death than he was in life.
-- Time
How often can you peek behind the curtains of one of the most secretive governments in the world? Prisoner of the State is the first book to give readers a front row seat to the secret inner workings of China's government. It is the story of Premier Zhao Ziyang, the man who brought liberal change to that nation and who, at the height of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, tried to stop the massacre and was dethroned for his efforts.
When China's army moved in, killing hundreds of students and other demonstrators, Zhao was placed under house arrest at his home on a quiet alley in Beijing. China's most promising change agent had been disgraced, along with the policies he stood for. The premier spent the last sixteen years of his life, up until his death in 2005, in seclusion. An occasional detail about his life would slip out: reports of a golf excursion, a photo of his aging visage, a leaked letter to China's leaders. But China scholars often lamented that Zhao never had his final say.
As it turns out, Zhao did produce a memoir in complete secrecy. He methodically recorded his thoughts and recollections on what had happened behind the scenes during many of modern China's most critical moments. The tapes he produced were smuggled out of the country and form the basis for Prisoner of the State. In this audio journal, Zhao provides intimate details about the Tiananmen crackdown; he describes the ploys and double crosses China's top leaders use to gain advantage over one another; and he talks of the necessity for China to adopt democracy in order to achieve long-term stability.
The China that Zhao portrays is not some long-lost dynasty. It is today's China, where the nation's leaders accept economic freedom but continue to resist political change.
If Zhao had survived — that is, if the hard-line hadn't prevailed during Tiananmen — he might have been able to steer China's political system toward more openness and tolerance.
Zhao's call to begin lifting the Party's control over China's life — to let a little freedom into the public square — is remarkable coming from a man who had once dominated that square. Although Zhao now speaks from the grave in this moving and riveting memoir, his voice has the moral power to make China sit up and listen.
When Zhao Ziyang, the former Chinese premier who in 1989 had opposed using military force against student protesters, died four years ago, China's top leaders formed an "Emergency Response Leadership Small Group," declared "a period of extreme sensitivity," put the People's Armed Police on special alert and ordered the Ministry of Railways to screen travelers heading for Beijing. If this is how the... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) men who rule China reacted to Zhao's death at home, how then will they respond to the posthumously published "Prisoner of the State," a book in which Zhao repeatedly attacks the stonewalling and subterfuge (and sycophancy, mendacity, buck-passing and back-stabbing) of people whose allies and heirs remain in power today? Whatever the fallout, one element will likely stay constant: This same group of men — mostly from a set of quarreling families bound together by common interests and long used to surviving turmoil and 180-degree policy shifts — will remain in power. Like a seal on a rolling ball, they are good at staying on top. But to keep its balance, the group sometimes needs to sacrifice a wayward member. In 1989, Zhao, then the Communist Party's general secretary and the major architect of China's economic reforms, was such a victim. Zhao had argued for "dialogue" over martial law as a way to handle the pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing. On May 17, 1989, he was overruled, and on May 19 stripped of power. On June 4, soldiers fired on demonstrators in the streets of Beijing, killing hundreds. Zhao was charged with "splitting the party" and "supporting turmoil," and was confined to house arrest until his death in 2005. Now, in "Prisoner of the State," a book timed to appear precisely 20 years since his purge, Zhao speaks from beyond the grave. He flouts the unspoken rule against public blame of others of the group. He skewers Li Peng, Li Xiannian, Yao Yilin, Deng Liqun, Hu Qiaomu and Wang Zhen repeatedly and by name. He complains that the meeting at which martial law was decided was in violation of the Party Charter because he, the general secretary, should have chaired any such meeting but was not even notified of it. The book is based on about 30 audiotapes he discreetly recorded at home during 1999 and 2000. Clips from the tapes are to be released simultaneously with the book, and a Chinese-language transcription is supposed to appear around the same time. The material is largely consistent with what is already known from the "The Tiananmen Papers," an unauthorized compilation of government documents published in 2001, and from "Captive Conversations," a Chinese-language record of conversations between Zhao and his friend Zong Fengming, published in 2007. But the up-close-and-personal tone of the present book stands out. Scholars will mine "Prisoner of the State" for historical nuances. It is clearer here than elsewhere that Zhao was already in serious political trouble in 1988, before the democracy movement began; and that Zhao had bickered with Hu Yaobang over economic policy as early as 1982, even though the two reformist leaders needed each other. Deng Xiaoping appears more strikingly than elsewhere as a Godfather figure: Other leaders jockey for access to him, dare not contradict him and use his words to attack one another. Yet even Deng seeks to avoid responsibility for difficult decisions. The group has dictatorial power, yet is rife with insecurity. Sometimes these leaders — the two dozen or so at the top — appear oddly out of touch with the society they rule. For example, Zhao — who was more clued in than the others — thought that "groups of old ladies and children slept on the roads" of Beijing in order to block the entry of martial law troops. The Beijing populace did try to block the troops, but no old ladies slept on roads. Zhao lamented that the astrophysicist Fang Lizhi (who after the massacre was #1 on the government's wanted list) worsened the political atmosphere during the protests because Fang, "who was abroad, attacked Deng Xiaoping personally, by name." But Fang was not abroad; he was living on the outskirts of Beijing and deliberately observing silence. More seriously, Zhao and the others did not seem to understand that the nationwide protests arose not from superficial impressions of the West or from fleeting issues like the 1988 inflation but from a long-term and deep-seated revulsion at corruption, special privilege and the stultifying "work unit" system that Communist Party rule had brought to China. In 1989, Zhao urged his fellow leaders to enter into reasoned dialogue with the student protesters, who, he insisted, were "absolutely not against the basic foundations of our system" but were "merely asking us to correct some of our flaws." Could it be that Zhao really believed this? Or was he using it, as the students themselves were, as protective cover? Of course the students knew that it would be dangerous — indeed foolhardy — to declare open opposition to the ruling system. But to conclude that they were interested only in flaws is a bit silly. When certain things could not be stated plainly in public, the students sometimes resorted to double entendre — singing, for example, lines from the Chinese national anthem: "Rise up, oh people who would not be slaves. ... China's most perilous hour is nigh." Even more mischievous was the singing of selected lines from the 1950s song "Without the Communist Party there would be no New China" — where the singers intentionally left the meaning of "New China" ambiguous. Ironically, it was Zhao's incarceration after 1989 that brought him closer to the street life of ordinary Chinese. His guards told him it was "inconvenient" for him to play golf; he had to guess at the content of unwritten rules, to deal with "made-up excuses" and to engage in vacuous word games with functionaries. His indignation at such treatment suggests that he was learning about these routine features of his society's political life for the first time. But incarceration also provided him with time to read and reflect broadly on China's situation in history. At the end of "Prisoner of the State," we see Zhao arrive at positions more radical than any he had taken before — positions that the Chinese government had long been calling "dissident." For instance, Zhao eventually concluded that China needs a free press, freedom to organize and an independent judiciary. The Communist Party will have to release its monopoly on power. Ultimately, China will need parliamentary democracy. What it actually has, he observed near the end of his life, is continuing rule by "a tightly-knit interest group ... in which the political elite, the economic elite, and the intellectual elite are fused. This power elite blocks China's further reform and steers the nation's policies toward service of itself." He saw that China's "abundant and cheap" labor had produced an economic boom. The society's rulers claim they have lifted millions from poverty, but in truth the millions have lifted themselves, through hard work and long hours, and in the process they have catapulted the elite to unprecedented levels of opulence and economic power. The seal continues to straddle the ball — insecure as ever, but still definitely on top.

I need a new blender

I broke my blender! It was part of a Breville Super Wizz Duo & unfortunately Breville say it can't be replaced with a spare
So - please recommend me a good heavy duty blender, one that will handle ice. Should I get a stand alone blender or one that has interchangable blender & food processor with one base? The remaining food processor on the Duo still works (but for how long?) & it takes up a lot of bench space.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 02:02 PM
If you really love it, it would be worth asking on your local freecycle if anyone has the bit you need.
Quite like my kenwood FP it has a spice grinder and blender attachment too, but I've never blitzed ice.

I got a new FP recently - others suggested a Kitchen Wizz Pro (I think!) but it was just huge. I ended up getting a Sunbeam which fits in my cupboard and was about $120 compared to 4-5 hundred for the aforementioned.
The Sunbeam does come as a combined unit too, which I considered, but I was in the opposite boat to you - still have a separate blender for the ice.

I had the kitchenaid food processor - what a great machine - durable, strong, reliable.
Then I sold it and got a thermomix, now that is love!!!
Posted 11 December 2012 - 02:17 PM
I read that as 'I need a new bladder'........
I was about to reply, OMG so do I!
Dont get a Kenwood. My only advice. I would get a Thermomix if I was going to get a new one.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 03:20 PM
I just came in to ask the same question! So I wont start a new thread. Im also looking at blenders. i make lots of smoothies and sometimes use ice. I currently just use a stick mixer one but it struggles with the ice. I'm after a stand alone too, (dont need the food processor), but want to spend under $100. So if anyone has any recommendations in that price range I'd love to hear it.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 03:25 PM
no no no no no, you know what you need instead
Posted 11 December 2012 - 05:21 PM
Ah yes but the cost!!! No, just a blender for now.

TMX if you want a whole big blender.
Or a Braun stick blender (but the one with the Stainless steel shaft). It is good quality and I find it blends our frappes (Ice and juice or frozen fruit and water) more smoothly than the TMX. I have also accidently purred baby food without taking out the chicken wings that I had included for flavour. Rather than tossing the pot, I just puréed for longer LOL.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 09:54 PM
Braun all the way. My brother is disabled, and can only eat pureed food. Mum went through dozens of blenders before getting a Bran one, and a Braun stick blender. They are still going strong. Mum loves her so much it was what she got me for a wedding present. 9 years and counting.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 10:02 PM
I have a (actually I have 2) Sunbeam cafe series blenders. They are great! Heavy duty and crushes ice with ease. We have cocktail parties and the blenders handle whatever gets thrown at / in them. I also like how the jug attaches to the base by simply placing it on top rather than having to screw it on.

BOSTON -- Do they have a chance?
Yeah, they have a chance.
Do they have a good chance?
Ask again tomorrow.
The Rays looked great Thursday night in winning the opener of their four-game must-win series in Boston, holding the Red Sox to six hits in a 9-2 rout. Boston's lead in the American League wild-card race, which was nine games on the morning of Sept. 3, is now down to three games just 13 days later.
With 13 games remaining in the season -- including three more games this weekend -- of course the Rays have a chance.
And if they beat Josh Beckett on Friday night -- and especially if Beckett doesn't look fully recovered from the ankle injury that cost him a start last week -- then you might say the Rays have a good chance in their improbable run at a playoff spot.
A run, by the way, that they don't consider that improbable.
"I think this is what we expected from the first day of spring training, to be in this race," Rays designated hitter Johnny Damon said Thursday afternoon.
They believe they can win, and they believe they can beat the Red Sox head-to-head, at Fenway Park.
They should. The Rays have won 18 of their last 29 games at Fenway, dating back to 2008 and including the American League Championship Series that year.
This season, the Rays have beaten the Red Sox 10 times in 15 games, and they've now won six in a row.
"Against us, their pitchers have a plan, and they follow through on it," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "They're a hard team to play."
The Red Sox are something of a mess right now. Their lineup is beat up, to the point where Francona said Thursday night that third baseman Kevin Youkilis (hip and sports hernia) won't play Friday.
The starting rotation is worse. The Red Sox had to start rookie Kyle Weiland on Thursday, and he didn't make it out of the third inning. They'll start struggling Tim Wakefield in the final game of the series Sunday.
Compare that to the Rays, who are able to run a solid starter out there every night. Thursday, it was Jeremy Hellickson, a 13-game winner who may well be the American League rookie of the year. Friday, against Beckett, it will be James Shields, who leads the majors with 11 complete games and gave up one run in 8 1/3 innings against the Red Sox last weekend in Florida.
But that's what the Rays are, and that's how they've managed to get this far, after losing Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena and their entire bullpen off last year's division winners. They pitch, they play defense, and sometimes, they hit enough.

Our group is founded on the belief that live theater provides a mechanism for interpersonal interaction not provided by television and movies, that it should be a force for political, intellectual and social stimulation, and should be relevant to the daily lives of the audience and the players. We seek to broaden the involvement of the general population by engaging issues of topical value and stimulating the analysis and discussion of the structure and goals of society.
Stage Left Theater is a volunteer organization. We need volunteers to run the front of house (ushers, concessions, house managers, box office managers, cleaning crews)
as well as performance functions (set design and construction, lighting and sound design and operation, stage managers, props and costumes)
For house functions, you can
volunteer online.
For production functions, please email us.

This is a lovely condo. We were completely comfortable during our long-term ( 6 month) stay. It is extremely well-equipped, with thought given to any extras you might enjoy - at the beach; when entertaining; a quiet evening reading or watching movies or lounging on the patio as you enjoy the beach view. The dogs loved being so close to an off-leash area and we enjoyed the pub across the street and the fabulous Italian restaurant close-by. The underground parking was a bonus. The building is quiet and kept very clean. Owners are most accommodating. We look forward to staying in this condo again in the future.

Decay or Flourescent lights?
I have seen a link to a graph somewhere (I think here) showing how the usuable light in a flourescent tube decays rapidly, but I can't find it anywhere. If anyone has it bookmarked I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
This curve is different for each fluorescent lamp, depending on the phosphors, the ballast, the lapm shape, and the operating conditions. A good bulb datasheet should include a lumen maintenance curve. Most fluorescent lamps will lose 10% of their output quite rapidly, and then another 10% more slowly. Some are better and some are worse.
Here is a link that might be useful: Datasheet with lumen maintenance curve
If you run them 24/7 they really need to be replaced at least once a year but I generally wait until one burns out to do it :)
I have been running at least 2 - 2x4 light shelves for over 20 years, and at times 10, so I have grown a lot of different things under them as my plant interests have changed as the years go by :)

One that had a profound impact on him was a calligraphy class; what he learned there inspired him to use beautiful fonts on Apple's computers, a signature feature of all Macs today. That's why we think he'd appreciate the Mac App Store title LetterMpress ($10) from Bonadies Creative. It allows you to create authentic-looking letterpress prints, right on your Mac.
One of the things that's great about LetterMpress is the interface; it's made to look and feel as close to a real letterpress setup as possible. You get to do everything from placing and arranging the type to choosing the color of the ink, and even turning a virtual hand crank when you're ready to print. The app includes both letters and images so that you can do a full design. The prints are super high resolution—up to 300 dpi—and since it supports Lion's full-screen mode, you can really take advantage of Apple's 21.5" and 27" displays.

For the Independence Party, no big-name candidates yet in Minnesota governor's race

Luxembourg Railways (CFL) has selected Alstom Transport to install the third and final portion of its fleet with the Atlas ERTMS signaling solution. The contract is worth more than $16.8 million and covers the installation of 19 locomotives and 22 double-deck electric multiple units (EMUs). CFL's entire fleet, numbering more than 100 trains, will operate with Alstom's ERTMS Level 1 solution, for a total amount of more than $38.8 million.
In 2003, CFL ordered an initial design and equipment phase involving 10 prototypes. In 2006, the railway selected Alstom to equip 18 EMUs (batch 1) and, in 2008, 20 locomotives and 20 DOSTO driving trailers (batch 2).
The Atlas equipment will be manufactured at Alstom's Charleroi and Villeurbanne sites, and installed on the trains by Alstom teams in CFL's workshops in Luxembourg. The newly equipped trains will be put into service in 2012 on the Luxembourg, French and Belgian networks.
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

- administrative law;
- government reform in Korea
Regardless of whether neoliberalism has declined or whether it is still appropriate to say 'neoliberal', it is highly probable that New Public Management (NPM) reform will continue and survive challenges in Korea. By analyzing the relationship between the NPM-based government reforms and role of administrative law during the last decades in Korea, the article tries to explain notable persistence of those legacies of the NPM reforms. Financial emergencies, such as the 1997 foreign currency crisis in Korea and economic downturn in recent years, could repeat themselves at any time. Government reform will then continue to be a surviving toolkit to cope with such crises. Another factor is citizens' desire and expectation, which is taxpayers' demand. With this undiminished, ever-increasing demand for better quality of public service, there could be no way out but to reform government by downsizing and restructuring itself in the name of efficiency and accountability. NPM-based government reform has risks and uncertainty problems, however, as long as success cannot be guaranteed by public trust in government. The article concludes by confirming the value of constitutionalism and the Rule of Law that constitute indispensable and soundest means to build trust, which is a critical success factor in government reforms.

Free internet access from your desktop computer, unlimited filtered water... so drink up! Fridge is stocked with free milk. Fresh wood chips for coffee. Fancy Soda vending machines which charge you 0.50 cents or more. Free pinball and fooseball tables, if you are found using it... then your manager will lay you off or give you zero's for your review.Cons
No salary increases for years, no promotions for years, they have you work like a dog nights/days/weekends with no thanks. All of management will tell you that they have no budget for anything (which are lies). This is by far the worst tech company I have every worked at.

Yahoo needs a re-boot, it's time to let go of everyone between manager level and Tim Morse. Yahoo could save so much money and probably turn a profit from the cost savings.

The Dodgers' new owners aren't apologizing for the record $2 billion they spent to acquire the franchise.
New Dodgers CEO Mark Walter, heading up Guggenheim Baseball Partners, said the market helped set the price, and that it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
"I viewed it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the most fantastic franchise in all of sports," Water said during a Dodger Stadium press conference introducing the new management.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was on hand as well, offering a simple plan for the new stewards of the Dodgers.
"I have just one piece of advice. Win. A lot," Villaraigosa said before the Dodgers lost 8-5 at Colorado.
Walter's group got off to a fan-friendly start by announcing that regular parking at Dodger Stadium would be reduced immediately from $15 to $10.
Much of the questioning during the press conference revolved around former owner Frank McCourt and his continuing role and involvement in the land surrounding the stadium. However, the new owners were clear that they were in control.
"Every aspect of the operation at Chavez Ravine that relates to baseball, parking and everything, is controlled and managed by us, and all of those revenues go to this organization," Walter said. "The former ownership does have an economic interest in a certain amount of the profits that might come from potential development in the future."
The ownership group said it has no plans to develop the land surrounding the stadium, but also said it didn't know what the future will hold.
"We own it 100 percent. He doesn't get a dime from the parking," partner Magic Johnson said of McCourt. "If he's a part of future development, so what? What's important is that there's new owners sitting here. There's new direction, there's a new era, and we're moving this franchise forward."
Broadcaster Vin Scully, who has been calling Dodgers games since 1950, has been around for numerous ownership changes, but as the master of ceremonies of the introductory press conference, the 84-year-old Hall of Famer offered this friendly warning to the new owners.
"I am telling each and every one of you right now. This is the last new ownership press conference I will ever attend," Scully said.
