Xbox 360
Question from saalvaars
My Xbox 360 isn't running any games anymore?
About 2 months back, I was playing Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, and I suddenly hear a kind of buggy sound coming from the disk tray and then it says my disk could not be read. So I decided I had played enough and let my Xbox rest for a while. I came back to it about 2 days later and now it won't read any disc, it starts reading it, you hear the sound, and then the game doesn't get read. It only say's "Open Tray" . This is not the first time this has happened. I had the same open tray problem around January 2011, but last time I actually knew what caused it. I had moved the Xbox around with a disk inside of it without taking it out. But, this time I did nothing but keep it on a shelf below my TV.
If it helps, I keep my Xbox on the shelf horizontal and I do not get the Red-Ring of Death when I try to start or play any of the discs it just won't read any of my disks. I have tried other games like Dead Space 2 and Modern Warfare 2, but they all just say "Open Tray". Indy games and other games already installed on my Xbox are working everything else is fine.
4 years ago
Since disc games are failing to work, and installed games work fine, it means that the disc drive is practically dead. The best solution for you right now is to call 1-800-4MY-XBOX and see what they can offer you for repairs.
It will cost around $100 to get fixed without warranty if you request the repair yourself. You can do that here:
It will cost around $112 if you call the phone number and have them do it.
Best of luck with your Xbox. You have a pretty common problem, so don't get too stressed over it.
4 years ago
Seeing as this guestion is 3 years old it probably wont matter but what works for me when this happens is that if its horizontal turn it verticaly and if its vertical turn it horizontaly, might not help you but ut might help someone else

Today we've launched the latest version of our Digital Literacy curriculum in partnership with learndirect, UK online centres and OCR (Oxford and Cambridge RSA Examinations). Designed to help out those who feel that their basic computer skills need improving, which according to statistics from a recent ICM survey carried out on our behalf is 47% of all adults in the UK, the curriculum also delivers 30% of the Skills for Life numeracy requirements and 25% of the literacy. The same survey revealed that almost a third of adults feel they have no (13%) or poor (18%) computers skills and 12% feel excluded as a result of ineffective computer skills, while one in six workers say they lack the IT skills needed to do their jobs properly.
These issues will be discussed at today's launch event in Westminster, which will be attended by David Lammy MP, the Minister for Skills, and it is hoped that the Digital Literacy curriculum can help to improve these statistics and provide people with the skills they need to succeed in today's digital world.
The curriculum covers the following 5 modules:
Available to complete online, the course can also be completed with tutor support at a learndirect or UK online centre and prepares people to take a recognised qualification with OCR, so serves as a stepping stone to more advanced IT skills training. So if you, or someone you know, need to improve your digital skills, visit the Digital Literacy curriculum web site to find out more, access the course modules or find a course provider in your local area.

A truck driver frequently traveled through a small town where there was a courthouse at the side of the road. Of course, there were always lawyers walking along the road. The truck driver made it a practice to hit any pedestrian lawyers with his truck as he sped by. One day, he spotted a priest walking along the road and stopped to give him a ride. A little further along, as he approached the town, he spotted a lawyer walking along the side of the road. Automatically, he veered his truck towards the lawyer, but...then he remembered his passenger. He swerved back to the center, but he heard a "whump" and in the rear view mirror he spotted the lawyer rolling across the field. He turned to the priest and said, "Father, I'm sure that I missed that lawyer!" And the priest replied, "That's OK, my son, I got him with the door."

Benchmarks ended with losses following concerns over the
Cyprus bailout and the Euro Zone crisis. Discouraging
comments from the head of the Euro Zone's finance ministers wiped
away optimism created by the Cyprus bailout plan, from the
markets. All the top ten S&P 500 industrial groups suffered
losses and the industrial sector suffered the most.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) lost 0.4% to close the
day at 14,447.75. The S&P 500 decreased 0.3% to finish
yesterday's trading session at 1,551.69. The tech-laden Nasdaq
Composite Index declined 0.3% to end at 3,235.30. The fear-gauge
CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) gained 1.3% to settle at 13.74.
Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange, American
Stock Exchange and Nasdaq were roughly 5.8 billion shares, below
2012's average of 6.48 billion shares. Declining stocks
outnumbered the advancers. For the 39% that advanced, 58%
Yesterday, the Dow had touched an all-time intra-day high and
the S&P 500 was just a whisker away from its all-time high
before fresh concerns over Cyprus and Euro Zone pulled them back.
Head of the Eurogroup of Euro-Zone financial ministers, Jeroen
Dijsselbloem, told Reuters and the Financial Times that the
Cyprus bailout plan should be used an example for financially
distressed economies. He added that Euro Zone lawmakers would ask
bondholders, shareholders and uninsured account holders to anchor
failing banks via recapitalization. These comments created
dampened investor sentiment and benchmarks were pushed into
negative territory.
However benchmarks moved up from their lowest point after
Jeroen Dijsselbloem clarified his comments saying: "Cyprus is a
specific case with exceptional challenges, which required the
bail-in measures we have agreed upon yesterday. Macro-economic
adjustment programs are tailor-made to the situation of the
country concerned and no models or templates are used."
Earlier, investor sentiment received boost following the
Cyprus bailout during morning trading yesterday until
Dijsselbloem made his initial remarks. The deal took place
between Cyprus and the International Monetary Fund (IMF),
European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Union (EU). In-spite
of Russia having substantial deposits in Cyprus banks, they have
not objected to the bailout deal.
According to the deal, Cyprus will recover losses from large
uninsured account holders carrying a deposit of more than 100,000
Euros in the Popular Bank of Cyprus (also known as Laiki Bank). A
portion of the losses would also be recovered in the form of high
tax imposition and privatization. The Popular Bank of Cyprus,
which is owned by the state, would also transfer accounts
carrying deposits below 100,000 Euros to the Bank of Cyprus. The
idea is to create one "good bank" by transferring funds below
100,000 Euro and viable assets to Bank of Cyprus and close Laiki
Bank. However, there is no confirmation as to how big a loss
depositors will occur on deposits above 100,000 Euros in Laiki
will suffer. But through this bailout plan the Euro Zone
lawmakers expects to raise about 4.2 billion Euros.
The Central Bank decided to extend the closure of banks till
Wednesday. This decision came in just after Cyprus sealed a deal
to avert a financial crisis. The Central Bank said: "for the
smooth functioning of the entire banking system, the finance
minister has decided, after a recommendation by the governor of
the Central Bank, that all banks remain shut up to and including
On the earnings front, shares of Apollo Group Inc. (NASDAQ:

I enlarge all my negatives. Fomapan 9x12 film can be bought from Fomafoto who advertise here on APUG, great service & prices. I'd suggest you try and find a lens hood that fits the lens, I can't remember what the size is. My Eurynar has less contrast than a slightly older Tessar on my Patent Etui and the old rules about shooting with the sun behind your shoulders are needed, the Eurynar will flare.
About 3 years ago I started listing all the 9x12 camera's of this type that I came across noting what lenses etc came with them, but since then I bought 3 British Journal Photographic Almanacs, 1928, 35, & 39 and they are full of adverts etc, images of the camera's.

Julie Delpy, left, and Ethan Hawke attend the premiere of 'Before Midnight,' on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 in Los Angeles. The actor says he beats himself up about being away from his four kids, and Delpy does, too. / John Shearer Invision for A-List Communications
Like so many working parents, Ethan Hawke beats himself up about being away from his kids.
He struggles to balance time between his brood -- daughters Indiana, Clementine and Maya and son Levon -- and what has turned out to be a very packed year. His drama, Before Midnight, is earning sterling reviews and is in theaters and Hawke just finished his play, Clive.
"I don't want to feel bad about having a job. I support this family!" says Hawke. "I've worked really hard this year," he says. "I'm going to take the summer off. One more month and I'll have the summer off."
Still, he beats himself up. "It's the way it works. It's feast and famine. I was home from the day school started until two days after spring break. I was always here. Now, I have to work. It's just a hard moment," he says.
His co-star Julie Delpy, the mom of Leo, 4, can totally relate. "I call him the little emperor. I'm not kidding when I say I need an assistant. I take care of doing stuff and running errands all day. I have no time for myself. When I'm able to write, what it does to me and my brain is great," she says. "Being away for a few days, all I want to do is buy him Legos."

Best Bangkok Temples Tour including reclining Buddha at Wat Pho

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Excellent from start to finish with very knowledgeable guide. Would recommend this to a first time visitor to Bangkok who has only a day or so to see all the sights. 10/10.
Tour guide was fluent in English, very funny, outgoing and friendly. Gave us enough time to take pictures and was not expecting any tip at the end of the tour
Great tour guide. It was only myself and a few other people so we got a lot of attention from the guide. All the temples were beautiful and we got more than enough time to explore the grounds.
Good guide, good driver, good vehicle. Tour was timed well and had enough, but not to long at each temple. I would recommend it.
The trips was really nice, and there was only a small group which was really nice and the guide was knowledgable and very friendly. Would recommend.
Excellent staff on tours and pick ups.
Good knowledgeable tour guide. Tour visited everywhere it said it would and it was a very interesting trip. The only downside was the visit to the Gem factory at the end of the tour. This stop wasn't part of the advertised itinerary and wasn't interesting but otherwise it was a good trip.
The reclining Buddha is impressive ! Make the time to see it.
This tour was amazing!
This is a very good tour. My second favorite of the 4 we took in Bangkok.
The guide was very informative and his English was very good.
Our group was small so we were able to get around easily and our guide took us into some tight places I think we might not otherwise have gotten into.
The reclining Buddha is awesome but the marble palace really impressed me. I think it is so beautiful.
I loved every single second of this tour. The tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable about the temples. They were just huge and beautiful. Pictures don't do justice. I recommend for everyone to visit these temples!
Tour guide was very knowledgeable provided on time service with transportation to our hotel at the end of the tour. The actual temple experience was very enlightening as it provided some back ground knowledge regarding Thai history and the number of temples located throughout Thailand.
This was a good tour and a very popular one too as it was on a coach. The only thing I did not like about this was the drop off at the gem company where if you looked at anything too long you wanted to buy it and there were no prices anywhere.
There was some misunderstanding in the beginning. I purchased the tour package for 1 person but the tour agency thought I purchased the tour package for 2 people since I purchased another tour package for 2 people for the next day within the same tour agency. It was solved in the end. Aside from that, I get to enjoy the tour and I learnt so much about the temples, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
With thousands of temples in Bangkok, this tour manages to give you a quiet view of some of the more famous ones. Kept at a good pace with a very informative guide.
Good trip to get around and see the temples.
Enjoyed the temple visits and guide was lovely. A bit of a shame that had to visit the gem factory and then got stuck in traffic for ages so longer day than expected.
Interessting tour for all who like to learn more about the local culture
Good tour only spoilt by the unwanted final stop at a large jewellery shop
This tour was good. I would just like to have also been able to go to the Royal Palace as well. That would have been a more complete tour.

Nice temples, good guide, logical order, good organisation!
Loved this tour. Our guide was very informative and fun, and the temples were beautiful. A must do tour. Howvever, after the last temple the tour bus stopped at the Government Gem Store and we were told that was the end of the tour and we had to organise our own transfer back to our hotels with the Gem Store staff, which was not much fun and took over an hour. I wouldn't have minded but there was no mention of this on booking the tour, or during the tour. The driver just pulled up and were told this is the end and the staff here will help you get home after you have walked through the store. This was not a location I wanted to visit and felt hijacked and forced into walking through it. Other than this, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok.
We did this tour right after we did the Bangkok Canals Cruise including Grand Palace and Wat Arun (took the pm option), and even though the temples were very nice and the Buddha images unique, after a while we started feeling tired of too many temples in one day. May be a good idea to space out the temples visits if you have time.

A must see trip when visiting Bangkok.
I would have loved it if the trip cold include the Emerald Buddha temple in the temple tour! Good for half a day tour!

Sony A6000 sensor review: Little wonderBy Kevin Carter - Wednesday April 09 2014 Sensor Review
The Sony Alpha A6000 is a revision of the earlier NEX-6 featuring a new 24-Mpix APS-C sensor and on-sensor phase-detection AF with improved coverage. Read on to find out how the new model performs.
Sony's re-branding of the APS-C NEX mirrorless models as Alpha has presented an opportunity to realigned the range. Although the new A6000 announced in February this year features a 24-Mpix CMOS like the technically still current NEX-7 it is seen as a replacement to the newer NEX-6.
Like that model it has dedicated on-chip phase-detection AF pixels (in addition to the usual contrast detection) although the A6000 can boast 179 AF points covering a greater area, up from 50-percent of the frame on the NEX-6 to just over 90-percent.
The Exmor type 24-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor is a development of the device used in the NEX-7 using a similar gapless micro-lens structure as that found on the 36-Mpix full-frame sensor used by the full-frame A7R. The latest Bionz X level processor allows AF with continuous shooting at up to 11 fps and ISO sensitivity to a maximum ISO 25,600 for stills or ISO 12,800 for movies.
Like the NEX-6 and 7 it has a built-in EVF albeit with 0.39-inch lower resolution 1.44M dot OLED screen (down from 2.36M dot on the NEX-6) and a 3.0-inch 16:9 ratio, 921k-dot tilting LCD at the rear. Images can captured and shared using the on-board WiFi with NFC capability with suitably equipped smartphones.
Some slight improvements in video over its predecessor include the adding of a zebra-pattern display capability to aid exposure control and an uncompressed 1080i/p AVCHD video at 24/ 50/60 fps via HDMI in addition to the usual in-camera capture option.
The Sony Alpha A6000 is available in body only for $649 with a black or 'titanium' finish, or with the standard 16-50mm kit lens at around $799.
Key specifications
- 24-Mpix APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor
- 11 fps continuous shooting
- Hybrid AF with wide coverage using 179 phase-detection points
- 0.39-inch 1.44M dot OLED EVF
- 3.0-inch 921k-dot Tilting LCD
- Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC
- Full HD 1080i/p AVCHD video at 24/ 50/60 fps
- Multi-interface shoe

Sony ILC Cameras
I have a question that has been bothering me for ages about Sony and their mirrorless ILC cams. Why are all the lenses on these cameras so low on sharpness? It can't be blamed on all the lens makers including Zeiss who makes some of the finest lenses out there. Is it because of the flange distance on ILC's is much closer then a mirrored DSLR? Is this causing lenses to lose their ability to come close to utilizing more of the sensors pixels?
I am a canon user but am seriously considering changing over to the Sony A7R or A7. I absolutely love the new sensors they are making and think the A7 line and the A5000/6000 are incredible cameras. After reading about the best lenses for the Sony A6000 the highest sharpness on any lens is the Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN A Sony E at 16 mpix. Thats only 16 of the 24 Mpix sensor. Lenses should be able to utilize more of the pixels (especially the prime) and the rest of the lenses just utilize less and less. Now if you look at the Sony FE 70-200 F4OSS on the A6000 the sharpness is 11mpix on the 24mpix sensor and that same lens on the A7R is 23 Mpix of 36 mpix. This is very low especially especially since this is only 2/3rds of the A7R camera.
Maybe DXO can explain why these ILC's by sony are suffering on sharpness? Atleast staying with Canon utilizes more sharpness, but bringing those lenses over with converters could be an issue all on its own as changing the flange distance to the sensor can cause issues on a camera.

zoom lenses for sony alpha 6000
Like many other, I am eagerly awaiting a report on the Tessar 16-70, which I suspect may be the best lens for the camera. I have a 24-105 L lens for my Canon 5DII, which has the same range, and I use it for over 90% of my photos.
I am prepared to spend extra for the lens I use most.
Also I would like to see a test for the Sigma 8-16 on the alpha 6000. usingthe A to E mount adaptor. I have an older Sigma 12-24 zoom on my 5DII, which again is a similar range. I love the coverage of this lens, but is is not sharp at the edges.
I have seen some good reviews of the 8-16, but I am wary.

Re: zoom lenses for sony alpha 6000
I assume, that Zeiss has problems with the variance of quality.
The zoom lens Tessar 16-70 mm has big deficits, especially at the short end of the focal lenght.
Every corner shows a different but allways a weak performance.
For example: The cheap Sony 16-50 is much better in this range.
I refused the lens twice, to get a lens i can use reasonably.
I think Sony is not interested in a test.

Huge omission - where's 16-70 f4 Zeiss lens?!
The most versatile lens in APS-C lineup is missing. Is this some kind of joke? The most important lens among zooms is not here!!! What's going on? I really hope this is just a mistake that you guys are going to correct the first thing ASAP. Without this lens this whole review is useless.

Re: most important zooms missing: 18-105 and 16-70
Dream on akrow.
Unfortunately DXO thinks they can survive with our posts, and without doing any actual work themselves - except for they products *they* want to push.
Their business model is not simply to provide honest information in exchange for advertising. That would be fair enough.
It is to shepheard its readers towards products and trends - driven by the manufacturers, adversiters and their marketing agendas.
See for yourself ... all the posts requesting tests for Zeiss EF 16-70 going way back to when this lens was first introduced, have been ignored by DXO. They don't want to know, because Sony has decided this lens is too "niche" - i.e. cost realative to cost of ASPC camera bodies, and want the Sony ASPC devotees (myself amongtst them), to switch to full frame.
Well, to this scenario - I say "f**k off" to both DXO and Sony.
We are not stupid. We know the EF 16-70 with a a Nex-7 or a6000 is a killer combo - but not to the extent that it represents the longevity of a professional system e.g. full frame Canon or Nikon
Sony full frame? Well, unfortunately Sony are so fickle with their various incarnations of camera and lens combos, that anyone who has observed their behaviour/ product rekeases over the last three or four years will know that any investment in serious Sony systems will not be rewarded. The proof of this is a fourth Sony full frame camera in about a year - the A7 mark 2 - whoopee do - now "in camera" stabelised (just like the A99 - they've got a loop going on here) - rendering of course all that stabelised FF glass a waste of money. What will they come up with next? Maybe the A7Q (quadcopter).

Important onission CZ Vario Tessar - E 16-70 /f4
Why have you never bothered to review this lens? Some strange politics going on me thinks. I bought this when it first came out (for my Nex-7) and have never regretted it. Supurb zoom lens - equivilant to full frame 24-105.
Has turned my Nex-7 into a serious camera - as it would for any a6000.
(Apart from the Sony E 10-18mm f/4 which is actually quite good, all the APSC lenses you've mentioned above are rubbish - except for video use - and I've tested them all.)
I really don't get you guys.
Added by Rdmkr | November 28 , 2014
This, this right here
This list says it all. This is the reason I returned my Sony A6000 and went with a Nikon D5300 instead. All of those statistics scream mediocrity. The good thing about this lens series is solely that they are small and light. The list of benefits abruptly ends there.

Re: This, this right here
A shame you returned it. Did you know about the CZ Vario Tessar - E 16-70 /f4?
I really am gobsmacked that DXO have never bothered to review this lens. I use it on my Next-7 almost exclusiely. It is the best e-mount APSC zoom available, albeit not cheap at around $1000. I'm nearly up to 100k shutter actuations on my Next-7 and when the shutter gives up I'll get an a6000 (or hopefully a7000 if one is released) to replace it as my second camera (after my Canon 5d Mark 2).
Added by Rdmkr | December 04 , 2014
Re: This, this right here
I'm having trouble being impressed by something limited to f/4. The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 I use may not have as long a zoom range, but at least it's not as much held back in low light. In combination with an 85mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens it leaves nothing to wish for. And within the zoom range it does cover, I'm pretty sure the sigma outclasses that lens effortlessly. No doubt the Zeiss is light and small, though. That's still the e-mount line's strong suit. I just don't like having the trade-off forced on me because it's not the side I like to be on.

Why are the 20 MP NEX cameras better than 24 MP ones?
What explains why the peak sharpness score is greater on both 20 MP E-mount cameras - a3000 and a5000, while lower on both 24 MP cameras - a6000 and NEX-7?

It might surprise you but there were occasionally adverts in socialism. Obviously, they weren't paid as well as the one Brad Pitt's starring in, to put it mildly.

Apparent prankster preys on widows listed in obituaries
A man apparently used obituaries to carry out what Greensburg police called a "disheartening" and "ill-advised" prank on two recently widowed women during the past two weeks.
A male caller phoned one of the widows on Dec. 15 and the second on Sunday, claiming to have one of the victim's relatives tied up in a room near him, police said.
"It's extremely disheartening to see these kind of things happening, and we're going to do what we can for a quick prosecution," police Chief Walter "Wally" Lyons said on Monday.
Money doesn't appear to be the motivation for the calls, he said.
"It seems to be more of a prank, an ill-advised prank, than some type of extortion, because there was no request for money," Lyons said.
"To put more stress on a grieving person is beyond the pale," he added.
A woman living in the city's 8th Ward received a call about 8:30 a.m. Sunday. The caller said he had the woman's sister-in-law tied up in a nearby room.
The woman hung up immediately and called police, who discovered the relative was safe.
On Dec. 15, a man called a woman living in the 2nd Ward about 9:40 a.m. and said he had the woman's daughter in another room. The man said he had strip-searched the daughter and tied her up.
The woman receiving the call asked where the man was calling from, and he hung up, police said.
The daughter was found to be safe, police said.
Anyone receiving such a call should contact police immediately, Lyons said.
Greensburg police plan to contact other local police departments to find out whether they are investigating similar calls, Lyons said.
At a minimum, the caller could face a charge of harassment by communication.

text: Home > UK Campsites > Member exclusive campsites > Setting up a Certificated Site Setting up a Certificated Site Do I Qualify? If you have at least half an acre of fairly level land, and it's not next door to a licensed site, there's a good chance you qualify! We offer certification for Full sites (caravans, motorhomes and tents), Caravan Only sites (no tents) and also Tent Only sites (no caravans or motorhomes – also suitable for sites where access is particularly poor). There are many different reasons why landowners choose to look into having their own Certificated Sites, whether it is for extra income, or just the pleasure of meeting new people, making friends, or sharing the beautiful surroundings with others. The Club holds exemptions from Natural England which allows us to help land owners like you set up their own small campsites. These exemptions allow you, once certificated, to: Accommodate up to 5 caravans or motorhomes, and 10 tents for a maximum of 28 consecutive days at any one time. Open all year round if you wish or specify your opening months, as long as the site is open during the main camping season. Keep all of the site fees. The Club doesn't charge a penny for any of our services. We offer a 'hand-holding' process from start to finish and have a dedicated department specifically for our Certificated Sites. The certification process can take from as little as 3 months from filling out the application form, to welcoming your first campers. Our 'All You Need to Know' guide will give you more information about what setting up and operating a CS is all about. You will need to read this guide before completing the application form. The guide is free of charge and should answer any questions you might have at this stage. It also has a step by step guide of the application process we follow so you know what's happening, and how long it takes.

Notes from Organised Tastings
Serafino and Shingleback
by Tom Cannavan
These notes accompany our in-depth feature on the
McLaren Vale
Serafino Semillon Sauvignon 2006
Lovely pungent nose, with a bit of creamy, rich, skinny and buttery phenolic complexity, then a blast of juicy, clean fruit and good acidity.
Sorrento Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Adelaide hills fruit, lovely gooseberry and grassy character, with plenty of punch and verve. Very nice palate, with passionfruit and gooseberry, little falling off towards the back palate.
Goose Island Chardonnay 2006
In Asda stores as 'McLaren on the Lake Chardonnay'. Nice melon and dry, pear and lemon fruit. Unoaked, clean, pure. Very nice wine.
Serafino Reserve Chardonnay 2005
Subtle buttery, toasty French oak, with a rich leesy character. Two pickings - greener and riper picking . Develops some Bourbon barrel richness, but beautifully clean acid and a crisp finish.
Serafino Sharktooth Chardonnay 2005
Wild ferment. Vegetal, buttery, with a really Burgundian character, and plenty of ripe, full, sweet fruit driving through to an elegantly toasty palate with very good acidity.
Sorrento Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot 2004
Cedary oak quality and a touch of green peppercorn, fine palate, a touch of earthy, gamy quality to rich blackcurrant and plummy fruit, but nice balance and length. Very elegant.
Serafino Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Very beautiful, cedary oak quality, with terrific cassis and spice notes, onto a gamy, ripe, very juicy palate with rich mid-palate mouthfeel and fruit, and a long, spicy finish. Fabulous wine (trophy winner).
Sorrento Grenache 2005
40-year-old terraced vines. Nice bright fruit, cherry flavours and a bit of meatiness emerging on the palate. Tangy and fresh, very drinkable.
Serafino Grenache 2005
A touch more oak, but a pure, mineral tone to bold, juicy fruit. More substance on the palate, with chocolate flavours emerging and nicely balanced, spicy finish.
Serafino Shiraz 2004
Big, ripe blackcurrant and blackberry nose, with a sweet, slightly raisined quality. Palate is quite fresh, with some spice and pepper filling in on the finish. Second oakier bottling, more power and fuller finish.
Serafino Sharktooth Shiraz 2004
Lovely big blackcuranty, ripe, velvety nose, with plenty of oak, but spicy and cedary, with plenty of deep, sinuous fruit. Long, very charming.
Shingleback Chardonnay 2005
Lovely toasty barrel ferment character. Very nice nutty, leesy style. Rich but succulent palate, with racy lemon fruit and some textural, toasty oak in the finish.
Shingleback Shiraz 2001
Quite meaty and savour, with nice tertiary flavours of earthy berry fruit, and still fine, liquoricy tannins with grip on the back palate.
Shingleback Shiraz 2002
Full, dark, plum and liquorice nose, with serious character. Quite full bodied and rich, with a slightly gamy quality coming through and a long, savoury finish.

Our education system should be focused on ensuring that all New Zealanders, no matter where they are from or what their background, have the opportunity to fulfill their potential in life. Inherent in that goal is a recognition that everyone is different, we all learn at different rates and in different ways, and we all have different strengths and challenges.
This week is Gifted Awareness Week. It's a time when we recognise that failure to extend and challenge really bright kids is just as much of a tragedy as failure to lift the educational achievement of those at the lower end of the educational statistics. Gifted kids who are bored through lack of challenge and stimulation are just as likely to become disengaged from education as those who struggle to keep up.
Last year as part of Gifted Awareness Week I had the chance to visit the Wellington Library and play chess with some fantastic young people. Sadly, funding for the programme that supports them has been withdrawn by the present government. It wasn't a lot of money in the first place, but that decision speaks volumes about the current government's priorities.
The current National government are obsessed with 'standardising' the education system. They measure the success of the system by whether or not all kids are jumping the same hurdles at the same time. In a 'standardised' system, a lot of attention gets focused on those students who are at or just below the standard, while those who are falling a long way behind, and likewise those who are already excelling, often get over-looked.
