Analysis of China's smart grid prospects
- Date
- 16 August 2011
BEIJING: The Climate Group China has published a Policy Briefing entitled Smart Grid Development in China's Current Situation and Prospects*.
The report offers a background on China's surging smart grid industry and reviews opportunities and suggestions for the smart grid development which will accelerate a Clean Revolution in China.
China's renewable energy industry may be growing rapidly, but it is the smart grid business that is helping lead the low carbon economy. Recent data from Pike Research revealed that global smart meter installations will hit 1 billion by 2020, led by China's large-scale adoption.
Smart grids have also become a top priority in the energy reform agenda - and not just in China, but in other major developing countries too.
Emphasis has been put on China's transition from traditional grids system to smart grids, as well as research and development in new energy, clean tech materials and cutting edge information network technology.
China's 12th Five Year Plan illustrated an expected US $150 billion public and private investment by 2020**, aiming to push smart grid construction from the planning and pilot projects stage to a full scale construction stage, along with smart grid operation control and service systems and core technology development.
China's power industry is also focusing on smart grids, as it faces similarly increasing needs from both the supply and demand sides of electricity.
The report Smart Grid Development in China's Current Situation and Prospects reviews the invention and functionalities of smart grids, and analyzes the opportunities and challenges of future smart grid development.
The report highlights:
- areas of centralized electricity access to renewable energy
- electric vehicle-to-grid
- user-side management
- China's relevant policies and standards
After addressing the opportunities of smart grid development, the report calls for government policy makers and corporations to focus on the market liberalization of the entire value chain of smart grids industry, to swiftly achieve a Clean Revolution in China.

Before I started doing my regular zimbra network edition backups I had a basic disk level backup of the main zimbra server run every night.
When it came time to actually use one of these backups to restore some data I had a rude awakening. My thought was that I could just restore the backup to a subdirectory of my primary workstation, and then use the zm tools to extract out the messages I needed.
I didnt think about the mysql dependency in that the database is needed to know what messages go in what folder. So without starting up the zimbra service in total, there seemed to be no way to extract the messages.
Does anyone have any tips for getting this zimbra install up and running on another machine? I tried building a fresh CENTOS install and just overlaying the /opt/zimbra subfolder onto it, but I couldnt get zimbra to start up, it seemed to hang when running the startup script.
One of our users needs an old copy of his mailbox, so any help people could provide would be appreciated.

I have a problem while installing Zimbra Desktop on Windows 7. I installed the application using zdesktop_2_0_b10580_win32.msi. It didnot give any error message.
After installation, I try to start the application but it always giving "a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding..." and "Script: file///C:/....../win32/prism/components/ForceOnline.js:180" and only two buttons I have. One says "continue", other says "Stop script". When I select "continue" it gaves the following error message and stops.
"JavaScript Application", "Couldn't access Zimbra Destop server. ...".
I donot have any Zimbra Server installaed in my site. I just want to check the connectivity and performans while connecting to Exchange. Is it possible first? Do I need Zimbra Server? Can I use Zimbra desktop to connect, only for, Exchange?
Please could someone help me on this issue?

Is there anyway to sync users' address books to an iPhone's address book? It appears the GAL is synced, but that only includes Zimbra accounts. We'd like to have a 'company directory' available to our iPhones however that directory would include many more entries than just accounts in Zimbra. Is this possible?
Alternatively is there a way to add non-account contact entries into the GAL?

(Sports Network) - Jarrod Parker was a big reason why the Oakland Athletics
won an American League West title last season.
He hopes to follow up his impressive rookie season on Tuesday when the Oakland
Athletics resume a three-game season-opening series at O.co Coliseum.
Parker, who is on an Opening Day roster for the first time in his career, made
29 starts for the A's last season and was 13-8 with a 3.47 ERA. He also
started two games in the postseason, but lost both of his ALDS games to the
Detroit Tigers.
He's 1-1 in two starts versus the Mariners with a 5.40 ERA.
Seattle, meanwhile, will hand the ball to Japanese right-hander Hisashi
Iwakuma, who pitched well after moving to the rotation last year. Iwakuma
began the year as a reliever, but became a starter midway through the year and
went 8-4 with a 2.65 ERA in 16 starts. Overall he was 9-5 with a 3.16 ERA.
However the A's gave him some trouble, as Iwakuma was 0-2 with a 6.14 ERA
against them last season.
Iwakuma will be hard pressed, though, to match the terrific effort that Felix
Hernandez gave the Mariners in Monday's season opener. The former American
League Cy Young Award winner tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings to help Seattle to
a 2-0 win.
Hernandez (1-0), who inked a seven-year, $175 million extension this
offseason, gave up three hits and struck out eight.
"Opening Day, it's good to start the right way," Hernandez said. "It's pretty
special. It was loud today with a lot of people, but I was just in my game,
just trying to make my pitches. I felt pretty good today."
Franklin Gutierrez hit a two-run single in the fifth inning for Seattle, which
increased its Opening Day winning streak to seven.
Brett Anderson (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings for the
Athletics, who have dropped nine straight season openers, which is the longest
Opening Day losing streak in American League history.
"It's disappointing to lose on Opening Night. It's your first look. Your fans
are out in full force," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "We played well with the
big crowds in our stadium for the better part of last year, so it's
disappointing. You want to win. Typically you do get someone's ace and Felix
is one of the best in the game, and we just couldn't muster anything off him."
Oakland won 12 of its 19 matchups with the Mariners last season.

WHEATON, Md. (WUSA9) -- A man and child are recovering at a hospital after a home invasion and shooting in Aspen Hill early Thursday morning.
Montgomery County Police say officers were called to a home in the 13000 block of Freeland Road around 12:45 a.m. for a report of a shooting. Once officers arrived at the scene they found a 55-year-old man suffering from a gun shot wound to the chest, along with a 14-year-old girl who had been struck in the ankle.
Police say two suspects forced their way into the house through a door and demanded money from the residents. Then, the man and girl were shot. Both victims suffered non-life-threatening and were transported to hospitals, say police.
Police believe the suspects and the residents may have some association with each other.
The suspects are described as white males between the ages of 20 and 25, say police.
Police are asking anyone with information related to this incident to call the Montgomery County Police Department at 301-279-8000.

A celebration was held yesterday to mark the safety milestone of Y-12's Direct-Hire Construction team for working one million hours, covering a 633-day period, without a lost-time injury. Some 285 people including building trade crafts, non-manual staff and escorts worked without a lost-time accident during this period. The Construction team's last lost workday was in September 2010.
Y‑12 Direct-Hire Construction craft worked on more than 125 projects and supported another 35 subcontracted projects important to the Y‑12 mission.
Read about the one million-hour milestone.
About the photos:Jim Haynes, B&W Y-12 senior vice president and deputy general manager for projects, displays the congratulatory plaque given to Y-12 Construction and the Knoxville Building and Construction Trades Council for accomplishing 1 million safe man-hours.
This week, a NNSA helicopter has been flying at a low-level altitude over portions of California's Bay Area. The helicopter crew has been taking measurements of naturally-occurring background radiation. The survey is expected to be completed on Saturday, Sept. 1.The flyovers are a part of a joint research project between NNSA and the Department of Homeland Security's Domestic Nuclear Detection Office.

In support of DOE/NNSA's efforts to support the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) Feds Feed Families campaign to collect non-perishable food items for food banks across the country, NNSA's Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) holds a Feds Feed Families face-off. The face-off is a friendly intra-office competition to see who between the three GTRI program offices can bring in the most donations for local families in need. This year, GTRI's Office of European and African Threat Reduction won the face-off with a donation of 416.5 pounds of food. Most importantly, GTRI as a whole shattered its goal of 700 pounds, donating 1115.6 pounds of food to Washington, D.C., area food banks.
About the photo:GTRI's Office of European and African Threat Reduction won this year's Feds Feed Families face-off.
NNSA's Pantex Plant took a significant step toward energy modernization last week by installing new metering technology at its steam plant.
Electric and gas meters were installed on the steam plant's utilities to provide detailed data on energy usage, which will then provide the information needed to reduce energy intensity.
Pantex has been aggressively executing the metering plan along with dozens of other energy and environmental initiatives, establishing itself as a leader within the nuclear security enterprise.
Read more about Pantex's new meters.
About the photo:Project Manager Janice Clark, right, points out potential hazards during a safety briefing prior to the installation of electric and gas meters at the Pantex Steam Plant. Workers installed the "smart meters" in the steam plant, which uses over half the energy consumed on the site, as part of an effort to better track and control energy usage.
The Nonproliferation Graduate Fellowship Program (NGFP) was established to attract young, talented professionals with an interest in nonproliferation to support NNSA's Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation. Offering hands-on experience, a full-time salary for a year, and career development opportunities, the program is highly competitive. More than 160 qualified, advanced-degree students applied for 24 slots last year. After an intensive orientation at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and NNSA headquarters in Washington, D.C., Fellows hit the ground running in a fast-paced work environment.
A guiding principle for NGFP is that future policymakers at NNSA must be able to merge technical competence with political acumen to be successful; the program strives to attract applicants with both skill sets. For example, after receiving her Master's in International Affairs from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Emily Diez was able to directly apply her education to benefit national security. She currently works for the NNSA Office of Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS) International Nonproliferation Export Control Program, which provides outreach designed to help other governments identify and seize commodities usable for weapons of mass destruction. Emily now manages an ongoing effort to provide advanced analytical tools and training to border security officials that enhances their ability to intercept sensitive commodities. Like many NGFP Fellows, she found the program very beneficial. She says, "The experience has been truly rewarding—you can immediately see the results of your work and know it made a difference."
Many NGFP alumni continue to work at NNSA after their fellowships are over. Sean Dunlop (shown in photo), from the class of 2010, began his fellowship after graduating from the Monterey Institute of International Studies and working as a research associate at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies. During his fellowship, Sean worked with retired military officials and next-generation scholars from South Asia and the Middle East to facilitate regional security confidence-building measures. Then Sean was able to step easily into a planning role for high-profile international events like the International Atomic Energy Agency General Conference and the Nuclear Security Summit. He comments, "It feels like everything I learned during the NGFP fellowship has been a natural progression towards the work I'm doing today—it was a great experience." Sean now works as the Action Officer within NIS's Front Office, organizing activities to support NIS programs and interfacing with other elements of the federal government.
Building successful leaders like Emily and Sean is so important that NNSA is increasing NGFP's impact even more. Starting next year, NGFP will combine with the former Future Leaders Program to create the NNSA Graduate Program, which will nearly double the number of positions and serve the entire NNSA enterprise, supporting the nuclear security mission. The combined program is accepting applications through October 22, 2012. Learn more and apply at http://ngp.pnnl.gov.
NNSA, in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command, recently conducted successful surveillance flight tests using a Joint Test Assembly (JTA) of the B61 Mod 7 (B61-7), B61 Mod 11 (B61-11), and the B83 strategic bombs.
"The recent JTA tests demonstrate NNSA's commitment to ensuring that all weapon systems perform as planned and that systems are safe, secure and effective," said Brig. Gen. Sandra Finan, NNSA Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator for Military Application. "The strong partnership between NNSA and Department of Defense is a vital part of our commitment to national security."
A JTA contains instrumentation and sensors that monitor the performance of numerous weapon components during the flight test to determine if the weapon functions as designed. This JTA also included a flight recorder that stored the bomb performance data for the entire test. NNSA uses the data in a model, developed by Sandia National Laboratories, to evaluate the reliability of the bomb.
The NNSA-designed and built JTAs support the Joint Surveillance Flight Test Program between the Department of Defense and the NNSA to simulate the actual weapon configurations utilizing as much war reserve hardware as feasible. The JTAs are designed by Sandia National Laboratories/California. The JTA test components are manufactured at the Kansas City Plant are then assembled at the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas. The NNSA Tonopah Nevada Test Range, where the tests were conducted, is managed by Sandia. JTAs are not capable of nuclear yield, as they contained no nuclear materials.
A B-2A Spirit stealth bomber from the 509th Bomber Wing, operating out of Whiteman Air Force Base, delivered and released the B61-7, B61-11 and B83 JTAs at the NNSA's Tonopah Test Range in Nevada.
In an effort to process, treat and recycle up to 300,000 gallons of wastewater per day, Los Alamos National Laboratory launched operations at the new expansion of the Sanitary Effluent Reclamation Facility (SERF-E) with a ribbon cutting ceremony earlier this month.
Each year, LANL produces more than a hundred million gallons of effluent from LANL's sanitary wastewater treatment plant. Instead of being discharged into the environment, the plant pipes the water to the SERF, which treats and reuses it in cooling towers to cool the Strategic Computing Complex.
The facility originally was designed to help LANL meet strict Environmental Protection Agency limits on polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) discharge in wastewater and reduce the Laboratory's use of potable (drinkable) water.
Dino Herrera, the Deputy Associate Deputy Administrator for Infrastructure and Construction, oversaw the project and complimented the team that planned and constructed the facility.
"The SERF-E project went from start to finish in four years," he said. "This is a model for how line-item projects should function, and I applaud the project team for such a great effort."

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity fired its laser for the first time this weekend on Mars, using the beam from a science instrument to interrogate a fist-size rock.
The mission's ChemCam, designed and built at Los Alamos National Laboratory, hit the fist-sized rock with 30 pulses of its laser during a 10-second period. Each pulse delivers more than a million watts of power for about five one-billionths of a second.

More than 357 pounds of food was collected by staff in NNSA's Office of Emergency Operations as part of the 2012 Feds Feed Families campaign. NNSA will continue to host a variety of activities this month to collect food for the campaign. The DOE-wide goal for campaign is to collect 230,000 pounds of non-perishable food items. These items will be donated to local food banks in the D.C. area.
Sandia researchers have developed a cost-effective robotic hand that can be used in disarming improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.
Funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Sandia Hand project is modular, so different types of fingers can be attached with magnets and quickly plugged into the hand frame. The operator has the flexibility to quickly and easily attach additional fingers or other tools, such as flashlights, screwdrivers or cameras. Modularity also gives the Sandia Hand a unique durability. The fingers are designed to fall off should the operator accidentally run the hand into a wall or another object.

Latour is top wine of Bordeaux 2009, says survey May 6, 2010 By Richard Woodard Chateau Latour has beaten Margaux and Lafite to be the wine of the 2009 Bordeaux vintage, according to a survey of the international wine trade.

Absurd isn't it? The whole concept of something like wine, based on taste and individual experience, having a number one. It is a concept that is perhaps worse than absurd. You can have a "best" sports team as they are able to win a clear victory over their competition. The team with the most points wins. Yet, perhaps even in such seemingly clear head-to-head competition often the best team doesn't win. Serendipity can trump skill.
The pitiful absurdity of such a statement from a publication of the stature of Decanter is particularly embarrassing as they know better. It is always important for us to remember that wine publications like Decanter are not in the wine business, they just live off of it. They don't make or sell wine: they sell magazines. All of their editorial choices are focused first on selling magazine subscriptions and once in a while a some real wine journalism fills in around the edges.
Naming a number one may be a good business decision, but it is not honest.
Chef Srijith's cuisine concept masterfully blends California Cuisine with Mediterranean inspirations and gentle spice route overtones. In keeping with the culinary superlatives, our cellar is also highly acclaimed as a destination among winemakers and wine connoisseurs. With over fifteen hundred carefully selected labels from across the globe our Master Sommelier, Richard Dean, can select wines that will seamlessly harmonize with the distinct flavors articulated in the menu.

Some meals move you and the last several meals I've had the pleasure of enjoying at Campton Place were not only moving, but breathtaking. More often than not it seems the restaurants that really deliver are somewhat off the radar. Campton Place may have faded in the past years from prior glories, but this restaurant is back delivering perfect service and elegant, creative cuisine. Don't miss this wonderful pleasure on your next visit to San Francisco.
Simple is beautiful when to comes to food and wine. Simple does not imply a lack of character when it comes to cooking or winemaking, but to a willingness to let the flavors of wonderful ingredients show through. Here are some excellent cookbooks built on that concept.
I have been using Bistro Cooking, Patricia Wells' book of simple French recipes, for several decades now.
So what stopped me from buying her book of Italian trattoria cooking?
Two words: Marcella Hazan.
I am addicted to Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. It's clear. It produces restaurant-quality meals that take only modest effort. And "fancy" is the last thing it is.
I thought I just didn't need another Italian cookbook.
But now, fourteen years after it was first published, Trattoria: Simple and Robust Fare Inspired by the Small Family Restaurants of Italy — a bargain at $13.59 — is finally in the house. And, more to the point, in the kitchen. And I am chastened.
You want simple? This is it. Easy? Forget about it. Organized? Buying the book could be the last time you'll ever need to think about an Italian menu.
Why? Because the fact is, you really don't want rich and fancy. You want a meal fit for a trattoria — an uncomplicated, modestly decorated, family-run establishment featuring traditional regional fare. You drink the house wine. You tend to order whatever special is being pushed. And you are likely to leave satisfied though not sated.
Wells begins with a large selection of antipasti, moves on to grilled vegetables and hearty soups. Then she reaches pasta. There are 17 pasta recipes — and that's just the dried pasta. (I'm under the impression that Italians have no affection for fresh pasta; in any event, there are 15 recipes for fresh.).
There are lovely recipes for entrees. But I'm feeling in the mood for a bargain dinner that rips the torpor from my taste buds. That means spices — garlic and red-pepper flakes. And what Wells calls "a young Italian red table wine."
Serves 6
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 plump fresh garlic cloves, skinned and minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
sea salt
28-ounce can peeled Italian plum tomatoes or a 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes in puree
1 pound tubular pasta
1 cup flat leaf parsley, snipped with scissors
In a large skillet, combine oil, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat with oil. Cook over moderate heat. Remove from heat when garlic turns gold, but not brown.
If you're using whole canned tomatoes, chop them before adding to skillet. If using pureed tomatoes, just pour into skillet. Stir, then simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
In a large pot, boil 6 quarts of water. Add three tablespoons of salt and the pasta, cook until tender but firm. Drain.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss, cover, cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the sauce. Add the snipped parsley, serve in soup bowls.
"Traditionally, cheese is not served with this dish," Wells notes. Gotcha.
Start the water and the sauce at the same time, dinner is on the table in 30 minutes, Wells advises. A very well-spent 30 minutes, say I.

Welcome to The Grapevine! In this new weekly feature, we'll be asking our favorite experts the questions that really matter: how they fell in love with wine, what wine trend they'd love to see end, and what they'll be drinking on their deathbed.
You'll find no 100-point scale at Craig Camp's award-winningWine Camp Blog, just thoughtful commentary on underrated finds, overrated bottles, and tons of gorgeous vineyard photography. A wine pro for nearly three decades, Camp now works as general manager ofCornerstone Cellarsin Napa.
In 1973, I had just finished a semester on a university exchange program in Salzburg, Austria and then spent some time bumming around Europe. My first stop in France was Strasbourg and, thinking it a very French thing to do, I ordered a pitcher of Edelzwicker at a weinstube. That was it for me. I drank (that was before I found out you were supposed to call it tasting) every wine I could afford and when I got home I bought theSignet Book of Wineby Alexis Bespaloff. Then I started tasting everything I could find. I remember doing blind tastings between jugs of Almaden Claret and Burgundy. That's funny, because they were probably the same wine.
My first wine "investment" was a case of 1971 Chateau Carbonnieux, Graves Rouge in 1975. I think it cost about $10 a bottle, which seemed very expensive to me at the time. I've always kept an emotional attachment to that Chateau and still buy the wines.
That sounds more like a nightmare than a dream to me. It's the diversity of wine and food combinations I find exciting. To go along with the premise I'll pick 2004 Poderi Colla Barolo Bussia Dardi le Rose. It's an incredible wine that will outlive me, always be delicious and with every year of aging will become a new wine as it evolves.
Iron Horse Wedding Cuve�, Sonoma-Green Valley Sparkling Wine
I'm living in the Napa Valley now and before that in the Willamette Valley and the Piedmont region of Italy. I love them all, but I'd have to pick Barolo/Barbaresco for the incredible combination of wine, food, natural beauty, and lifestyle. After all, if you live in Barolo you can drive to Burgundy, Rhone, Tuscany or Trentino/Alto Adige in one day and Champagne, Chablis, Alsace, Rioja or the Rheingau in two. Not a bad place to be.
Points and high-alcohol, over-oaked wines that don't match well with food.
New media and Social Media is changing the way everything is sold. The potential for empowering small producers at the cost of mass produced industrial wines is very exciting. Hopefully it will start to break down the three tier system supported only by the new-prohibitionists and giant wholesalers.
For some reason that's hard to explain they're all from Europe. That's pretty embarrassing for Americans as they have to put that wine in boats and ship it over here - not a cheap thing to do. My daily wines tend to be Beaujolais, Cotes du Rhone, Loire whites and reds, Cava, German whites; Soave, Barbera and Dolcetto from Italy.
That the greatest wines are the most expensive. It's the big lie of the wine world.
1. Foie Gras Ravioli with 1989 Huet Vouvray Moelleux at Alain Ducasse in Paris.
2. That generic Edelzwicker with choucroute in 1973 it was a revelation that I was not expecting and it blew me away. The memory still does.
A great old Armagnac. It's my favorite ending to a great meal and I can't think of a better finish.

The white blurs intertwined and wove themselves in and then out of the lights. They could move from absolute stillness to a dazzling, dizzying swirl of energy and grace. The second act of Swan Lake in this winter's performance by the San Francisco Ballet was like watching a Renoir or Monet come to life.
As the beautiful vision of the dancers floated from the stage the first row leapt to their feet and, like the Olympics, rated the performers with points. Holding up their placards they reduced art to sport. Absurd, right? While such a nightmare is offensive to anyone who cares about beauty this is exactly what we now do with both food and wine. Today wine is about points and food is about Iron Chef TV slap-downs.
Could there be anything more anti-fine dining than turning wine and food into a sport? Yet this is precisely what we have done. As when you watch a ballet or contemplate a painting, fine food and wine should transport you away from the intensity of day-to-day life and inspire your mind to find peace and pleasure. Dinner should be a time to slow down, not a best of three falls.
There are two big lies in the wine world. The first is that price is related to quality and, second, is that point ratings for wines are worth anything. Beside the fact that rating wines with points is an affront to what they were created for (to be part of a meal), they are a lie on on their own turf - statistics. To be meaningful a critic that rates wines on a numerical scale, be that 10, 20 or 100 points, must be able to repeat those results over-and-over in all tasting conditions. Anyone who knows anything about taste and the human condition knows that is a joke. Critics that use points are not only fooling their readers, they're fooling themselves.
I defy anyone to take this test. We'll take twenty-five top quality wines of one place and variety and blind taste them over a five day period without the expert tasters knowing the variety or place of origin having them rank the wine using their preferred scale . Each day we'll open a fresh bottle, then taste the wines in four flights, in each flight changing the order of the wines being tasted. Needless to say, that if these results were analyzed the worthlessness of reviews based on points would be clearly established. If statistical results cannot be repeated they are worthless, which is exactly the value of the point ratings used by the major wine critics.
Not that anyone would listen because while consumers like points as a simple way to make buying choices, wine producers like them even more as a simple way to market their wines. The point is that points are an easy way out for everyone, but most of all it is an easy way out for the big wine publications. After all we should remember their business is not selling wine or helping people to buy better wine. Their business is selling magazines, which is something rating wines on a point scale does better than reliable information ever would. Their readers want it simple and fast so that's what they give them.
The title of this article jokes about rating Monet 95 points, but giving only 93 to Renoir although he is given a "Best Buy" nod. The real joke of this is that during their own time Monet and Renoir where giving very low "points" by the critics. This should remind us all that the creative pleasures of life: dance, music, painting, food and wine among so may others are not so easily reduced into numerical simplicity. The very complexity of these pleasures combined with the intense differences our individual personalities interact to create something that is not possible to quantify or rank on a precise scale.
When you're are experiencing the best, points are pointless.
I picked him up at the airport straight from Italy. He was a young, energetic Italian wine producer. We went from store to restaurant sampling his wines trying to convince buyers to buy. After all it would have cost them just over ten dollars a bottle. Although his English was not good (in those days) his passion won over a more than a few cynical buyers. The young winemaker's name was Angelo Gaja and the year was 1983. Needless to say, in the last three decades Angelo has gone a long way. As it's impossible to distill all of Angelo's creativity into one short post, we'll let Angelo do the distilling. Actually in this case the Distilleria del Barbaresco did the distilling for Gaja in producing three excellent grappe (plural of grappa) that each represent a distinct style of this most misunderstood of spirits.
Often considered nothing less than an explosive, better suited for a Molotov Cocktail than as the final touch to an fine meal, things have changed for grappa due to the efforts of a few extraordinary distillers. Today elegant bottles of grappa are now on the back bars of the best American restaurants - Italian or not. It's true that mass produced grappa has more burn than anything else and homemade grappa may cause blindness (figuratively and literally), but when this spirit is crafted by dedicated artisans it is among the most delicate and elegant of digestivi. As with all spirits, the vast majority of labels are rough, industrial products. Only a few producers of whisky, brandy, rum and so on actually try to achieve greatness in their products and the same is true of grappa. In the hands of extraordinary producers like Nonino, Poli, Maschio, Pilzer, Marolo and the Castello di Barbaresco Grappe featured here grappa rivals the worlds greatest spirits - and costs as much too.
While all grappa is produced from what is left after the grapes are pressed for wine (grappa in Italian, or as the French call it marc) all grappa is not one thing as there are three distinct styles. Grappa made from white grapes is quite different from those made from red grapes. While the grappa from the red grapes has already fermented, that from the white grapes has not making the production process and the resulting spirit quite different. Grappa produced from white grapes tends to be more delicate and floral, while that from red grapes is more forceful and herbal. Then there is grappa gialla (yellow), which is aged in wood barrels that add sweet vanilla notes just as they do for Cognac or whisky. These aged grappe are easy to spot due to the golden color imparted by the wood as compared to the grappa bianca or the clear grappa that accounts for most of the grappa produced.
These three Gaja Grappe are offered as a tasting flight by Mustard's Grill in the Napa Valley. While the tastes are small, they can easily be shared by two or three people looking to learn about grappa. This tasting flight is a great idea and hopefully more restaurants will follow this example.
Castello di Barbaresco Gaja Grappa
Gaia & Rey - Produced from the chardonnay vineyard of the same name, this spirit is elegant and refined with a spicy floral nose and clean, refreshing character. Just a touch of herbal warmth reminds where this spirit came from.
Sperss - From Gaja's Barolo estate, this golden spirit is produced exclusively from their nebbiolo and then is aged in oak barrels. The oak adds roundness, depth and aromatics to this complex grappa that bridges the gap between clear grappa and aged brandy.
Darmagi - A classic grappa bianca from red grapes, the cabernet sauvignon from the famed Darmagi Vineyards. Meaning "a pity" in Piemontese dialect, this is what Angelo's father called the vineyard after Angelo planted cabernet sauvignon rather than nebbiolo is this Barbaresco zone vineyard. Spicy, herbal and warming this is old style grappa refined by the art of the master distiller. Clearly my favorite of the three.
The warm glow fine grappa brings to your stomach after eating a bit more than you probably should have is a great pleasure. It truly is a digestive. As a starting place grappa from the moscato grape is the most elegant, fragrant and easy to like of all, but eventually, with experience I think you'll go over to the red side.

While libraries and church groups are increasingly turning to video game events in order to attract teens, such get-togethers may have copyright implications, according to the School Library Journal.
Check out this Q&A posted yesteday:
Q. Lots of school and public libraries are hosting gaming tournaments, featuring popular video games like Guitar Hero and Madden Football. Since these games are intended for home use, isn't that similar to purchasing a movie and showing it to a large audience?
A. Everyone seems to be asking that question! Video games come with licensing agreements, and before purchasers can play the games, they must agree to their terms. The video-game licenses that I've seen are strictly for "personal, noncommercial" uses—not public ones. So when libraries host gaming programs, they're violating these agreements. Yet, lots of libraries are doing just that—and they're getting away with it. And some are even charging an admission fee to attend these events. What gives?
My guess is that video-game distributors never anticipated their games would be used publicly. So when their lawyers drafted the licenses, they simply used language commonly found in software contracts…
Librarians can: (1) continue to offer video-game competitions and let the chips fall where they may; (2) contact the rights holders and ask if their licenses can be modified to accommodate your programs; or (3) email the rights holders and tell them you're opting out of the portion of the contract that allows only home use—and unless they tell you not to, you're planning to offer gaming tournaments.
GP: It's a fascinating question. Game publishers would look like big meanies if they tried to enforce this, of course. On the other hand, I believe that Internet cafes pay for some type of multi-user license for some online games.
UPDATE: A well-informed video game industry source dropped GP a line, offering some insight on this story:
For motion pictures, schools, libraries, and other institutions get licenses to exhibit the movies. It's pretty straightforward and no-one seems to have a major problem with it. See http://www.movlic.com/ and http://www.mplc.org/aboutMplc.php. I'm not aware of similar services for video gaming. Probably should be.

8 oz Bottle Pump
Our bottle pump is made mostly of polypropylene (recycle code 5) plastic. Available in 8 oz only (64oz pump shown is not longer available). This pump is great for easily dispensing many different types of oils and lotions.
Pumps out a good amount of oil, and with no effort of having to push hard. Color of the pump is clear which I like better than the original white version
love it ~ can not beat the price
I purchased 2 of these (one to have as a back-up) to replace the one that I had used for over 8 years. After just a couple of months, BOTH of these new pumps stopped working. The spring mechanism is the fault here (my previous pump was spring-less).
I bought four pumps to replace my old ones. These are horrible. They constantly lock up and I finally put the old pumps back on my bottles.
I used it in an older bottle I bought from Massage Warehouse 3-5 years ago. It works great although the bottles look different online.

School bond reform gaining support
Poway Unified residents fume over expensive bond
A top county financial official is urging state lawmakers to make changes to school construction financing laws in the wake of concern over a controversial and expensive bond issued by the Poway school district.
The proposals unveiled Tuesday by the San Diego County Treasurer/Tax Collector Dan McAllister were greeted with a positive response from some legislators and state Treasurer Bill Lockyer.
Specifically, McAllister said his office will push legislation requiring districts to include a provision to allow for refinancing and early repayment of certain long-term financing known as capital appreciation bonds, or CABs.
His plan also calls for a 25-year cap on the repayment of the bonds and requires a separate government entity — either the county board of supervisors, county superintendent of schools or governing board of a community college district — to sign off on bond documents for all school district CAB deals.
The call for reform comes after the Poway Unified School District bond deal attracted national attention.
Poway received $105 million in school construction money in exchange for a long-term promise to repay investors more than nine times that amount — $981 million. The financing does not allow for repayment over the next 20 years while interest compounds, but then requires repayment in the 20 years after that.
McAllister's legislative proposal would also require districts to disclose the CAB interest rate and repayment ratio to their constituencies.
"I am taking these actions because I want assure our county taxpayers, parents and members of the public that disclosure, openness and transparency are vital to all future financial school district transactions," McAllister said, later adding that wants to see bond financing details explained on the ballot that goes to voters for approval.
Tom Dresslar, spokesman for the state treasurer, said Lockyer's support will be "more than behind the scenes. We will actively support it. We look forward to working with the county treasurer to get this legislation enacted."
"The proposals are eminently reasonable," Dresslar added. "They would provide appropriate oversight, more transparency and greater protection for taxpayers so we support them."
Earlier Lockyer had not taken a position on restricting the long-term financing.
State Sen. Mimi Walters called McAllister's effort to reign in CAB deals "a very good first step" she supports.
"One of my biggest concerns as a lawmaker is we take on too much debt at the expense of the taxpayers," said Walters, a Republican who represents southern Orange County and a sliver of north San Diego County.
"What really concerns me about the Poway deal is by the time the bond deal is paid back, it's nine times… It's our grandchildren and great grandchildren who are going to be paying these back and that's not fair to future generations."
State Sen. Joel Anderson, R-La Mesa, said he would work with McAllister and others "to help prevent this from occurring in the future."
"Poway (Unified) residents have a right to be angry," he said in a statement. "Many agreements requiring repayment of $9 for every $1 borrowed have been considered predator lending or 'loan-sharking.'"
He endorsed a call for a county grand jury investigation into the Poway bond that was made by a resident at a Monday night school board meeting.
Poway Unified officials did not respond to requests for comment on McAllister's proposals. District officials have stood by their CAB deal saying it allowed the district to capitalize on low construction costs and is only one piece of its larger $377 million bond program, which carries a more palatable 4.24 repayment ratio. Inflation, they said, will also lessen the burden on future repayments.

This isn't even disturbing...its just...wrong.
A 33-year-old man named Toby Sheldon has undergone $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like JUSTIN BIEBER. If I were him, I'd get a refund. (Check out the pics here.)
Sheldon has had Botox injections, hair transplants and even "smile surgery". He says, quote, "It's Justin's smile that gives him his youthful look. So I had my upper lip lifted [and] my bottom lip plumped out."

Devin Didominicus
Devin was a Political Studies major at UIS when he decided to begin an Applied Studies Term at the Illinois Innocence Project.
His interest in the Innocence Project was predicated by a deep interest in the concept of justice, and a desire to get a close look at the failings of the justice system in order to better understand those portions in greatest need of reform. He feels that the Innocence Project, with its aim of freeing the wrongfully convicted, provides the perfect vantage point for exactly that goal.

Rafael Nadal got through a tough first set then found a better rhythm in the last two taking down homeboy Peter Luczak 7-6 (0), 6-1, 6-4 in the Oz Open first round. The defending champ will take on either Lukas Lacko or Leonardo Mayer for a spot in the third.
While I really like the striped Nike Spring Rush and Crush Crew ($60) Rafa's been wearing lately - the pink and orange combo in particular, I'm absolutely confused as to why the sports brand would want to pair it with the Spring Rush and Crush Short ($60) featuring a loud diagonal pattern. There's way too much going on. The Nike gear from his winning run here last year was my fave outfit of the entire season. Yes, there were contrasting patterns with the stripes in the shirt mixing with the windowpane of the shorts but at least the windowpane design was subtle and complimentary. In this outfit, it's all competing with each other - and losing.
It seems the designers have been trying hard to make his outfits too eclectic and stand out recently ("jumping the shark" comes to mind) by over-mixing patterns and colors. His game really does speak for itself.

FASHION FIX: Nadal downs Luczak but goes over-the-top in Nike
Labels: Australian Open, fashion, Nike, Rafael Nadal, style, tennis
4 comments:
Yeah, last year's AO outfit was fantastic. This is too busy together. The shorts look nice by themselves and so does the top. So Rafa, topless for next match, then shortless if you go deeper in the tourney. That's my advice. ;)ReplyDelete

Do tennis players have much of a sy in what they wear? Or do the sponsors make the choices?ReplyDelete
I think it's a combo because it needs to be comfortable and fit well for them though the top ballers have more say in terms of special colors, designs, etc.ReplyDelete

The shorts with prints have got to go.ReplyDelete

|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Thirty-six students in Holyoke High School's Class of 2009 will be recognized at Commencement exercises this Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. in the HHS gym.
A Baccalaureate service will begin at 1 p.m. in the HHS auditorium, sponsored by the Holyoke Ministerial Alliance.
Class of 2009 valedictorian honors go to Dylan Bradley. There is no salutatorian this year as Bradley is the only senior who took the required five Advanced Placement or college-credit courses in core subject areas in order to be eligible for the valedictorian and salutatorian honors.

Additionally, a trio of senior girls including LeAnne McWilliams, Flor Varela and Alyshia Durbin will sing I Will Remember You at the program. A student slide show of the seniors will also be shown.
In addition to the presentation of diplomas and scholarships, the commencement ceremony will be highlighted by special music and recognition of citizenship award winners by American Legion Post 90 and its Auxiliary.
I Hope You Dance will be sung by the HHS choir, and the band will play The Final Countdown during the program. Processional music will feature the JR/SR high bands. The band is under the direction of Pat Wiebers, and the choir Marcia Dalton.
Counselor Summer Maloney will anounce scholarships, while school board members Kris Camblin and Dr. Jeff Tharp will hand out diplomas. HHS Principal Susan Ortner will present the class.
Supt. Stephen Bohrer will give the welcome at Sunday's graduation, and a valedictory address will be made by Dylan Bradley.
Most of the folding chair section at commencement will be reserved for immediate family members of the senior class. Immediate family includes parents, siblings and grandparents.

Senior class officers are Phawn Carper, president; Michal Brown, vice president; Krista Schafer, secretary; Kelsey Scott, treasurer; and Sarah Hamaker, student council representative.
Senior members of National Honor Society are Dylan Bradley, Kelsey Scott, Krista Schafer, LeAnne McWilliams, Phawn Carper, Diana Baeza, Karla Cruz, Maddie Starkebaum and Flor Varela.

It's kind of a big dealOne of the world's most popular Solitaire games, Freecell is a remarkable combination of strategy and simplicity. Nearly all games can be solved, but with only four open cells (and only ten minutes on the timer), can you beat the clock and win the game?
1.There are three areas on the game board: the cells (upper left), the foundations (upper right), and the cascades. Click and drag a card (or a sequential stack of cards) to move it.
2.To win the game, you must move all the cards, by suit, into the foundation, starting with the Aces. Cards can be moved within the cascades, if they are placed on an opposite-color card one value higher (as in, a red four on a black five).
3.Any card can also be moved to an empty cascade spot, or to an empty cell. Sequential stacks of cards can be moved from one cascade to another, but only if there are enough free cells and/or cascade slots for each card in the stack!
Tips & Tricks
· At the start of each game, take a moment to look over the layout and locate all the aces. You can't start moving cards off the board until you place an ace in the foundation area, so if one is easily accessible; make that your top priority.
· Try to keep at least one top cell open at all times. The more cells that remain open after a sequence of moves, the easier your next sequence will be.
· Aces located near the top of a cascade are tricky to free, but don't focus so much on digging one out that you leave your cells blocked afterwards!
· Unlike Klondike, Freecell cascades don't have to start with a King. If you have an empty cascade slot, and you can easily move a large sequence of cards into it, just drop in the largest one and start building down.

Of course, life was not always easy for Teresa Palmer. Born in the city of Adelaide, South Australia, Palmer's parents divorced when she was 3. Her mother, a former missionary and diagnosed manic-depressive, was left to care for Teresa most of the time. Her luck began to change in 2003, however, when she won a casting contest at her school. She soon began appearing as Strawberry Shortcake at businesses throughout her community, which allowed her to make some extra money while she worked part-time at a clothing store. Palmer enjoyed acting immensely, but never saw a future in it; on the contrary, she dreamed of owning her own animal shelter. However, as luck would once again have it, a studen... Continue Bio >>
