Terroir: ter-WAHR. Dictionaries say it's the environment, particularly soil and climate, in which wine grapes are grown. Wine fans insist it's much broader, much deeper.
True believers call themselves "terroirists," smiling at the inside joke. Even the more literal-minded say the concept also includes the temperature, wind, nearness to the sea, quality of the air. The more philosophical take it even further, asserting that it has a human element – the culture, the relationship of the farmer to the land.
This column will try to demonstrate the concept with some chardonnays from California – a state that's big, with a huge variety of terroirs.
The idea is that cool areas like Sonoma's Russian River Valley preserve natural fruit acids that create crisp, lively chardonnays with intense fruit flavors. Warmer areas like Napa Valley produce richer, softer chardonnays with complex flavors of butter, even caramel.
The French take the concept much further, as you might expect. They find the same terroir-driven differences in cheese, beef, pork, duck paté, apples, even bread. One famous French chef swore he could tell the flavor differences among fish caught between different bridges over the Seine River in Paris.
American winemakers, now that they've been in the business for a few decades, are seriously buying into the idea.
In California alone, they have created more than 200 "American Viticultural Areas" – from Sonoma's "Chalk Hill" to Santa Barbara's "Sta. Rita Hills." They're areas in which they believe grapes take on certain flavors because of the location's … well … terroir.
Some of it is the weather. But there's more. At Heitz Cellars' Martha's Vineyard in Napa, tall eucalyptus trees surround the vines, and tasters swear they can perceive the minty aroma in the wines. A few years ago northern California was plagued by wildfires, and tasters – including yours truly – could smell it in the wines. It was quite pleasant, luckily, like a wine aged in a well-charred oak barrel.
In California, a quick rule of thumb is that the cooler north makes leaner wines while the warmer south makes richer wines.
But it's not so simple. Often it's not how far north or south a grape is grown, but rather the vineyard's nearness to east-west valleys that carry cold Pacific fogs to the vines.
So vines in Santa Maria Valley down by Santa Barbara, might be cooler than those farther north in the fogless Central Valley. Sonoma's Russian River Valley and Edna Valley are also cooled by fog, as is the Carneros area at the southern tip of Napa and Sonoma.
Also, even grapes grown in different vineyards can be different from each other, giving rise to "single-vineyard" wines. Growers say the terroir on one side of a hill can be very different from that on the other.
So try to taste some of the wines below – listed roughly from north to south by growing area – and see if, unbeknownst to yourself, you've been a "terroirist" all along.
California's Terroir-Driven Chardonnays:
• 2011 Bonterra Chardonnay, Mendocino County: crisp and fresh, with aromas and flavors of lemons, limes and green apples; $14.
• 2011 Journey Chardonnay, Sonoma County: quite crisp, with complex green apple, pear and mineral aromas and flavors and nutty finish; $75.
• 2014 La Crema Chardonnay, Russian River Valley: crisp and lively, with intense aromas and flavors of apples and peaches, long finish; $30.
• 2011 La Follette Chardonnay, "Sangiacomo Vineyard," Sonoma Coast: rich and crisp and fruity, with bread dough aromas, complex flavors of lemons, limes and minerals; $38.
• 2011 Gloria Ferrer Chardonnay, Carneros: crisp and lively, with intense apricot and pear aromas and flavors, with crisp green-apple finish; $25.
• 2011 Educated Guess Chardonnay, Napa Valley: toasty aromas, rich cinnamon and vanilla flavors, creamy and full-bodied, crisp; $17.
• Nonvintage Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvée Champagne, Calif.: crisp bubbles, with aromas and flavors of lemons and limes; $10.
• 2012 La Crema Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco, Monterey: rich aromas and flavors of ripe mangos and peaches, smooth and creamy; $30.
2012 "True Myth" Chardonnay, Edna Valley: rich and ripe, with mango, per and vanilla aromas and flavors; $15.

YONKERS, N.Y. -- Body Wise 99% and 100% fat-free milks eliminate the fat but not the flavor, thanks to a high-temperature, short-time pasteurization process used by Ultra Dairy, a division of Dellwood Foods, Yonkers, N.Y. Body Wise is pasteurized at a much higher than normal temperature for a much shorter time.

"I would like to thank you and all your staff for such a great county week at Temple. I thought it was terrific, relaxed, efficient and you all made it look effortless, which I know it was not. The course was in perfect shape and proved a good test for all."
Pauline Cameron (Berkshire County Ladies Golf Association)
"Having recently played in the England Golf Club Championships at Temple on Sunday 22nd May, I would like to compliment you on a fantastic club and absolutely lovely course. "
Vanessa Lynton (Visiting Golfer)
"The friendly welcome, care and generosity which was heaped upon us was truly wonderful and it made refereeing hugely pleasant. I really enjoyed my 3 days but also the course and the views were superb and I very much look forward at some point in the future to returning and playing Temple."
Laura Steedman (County Week – Referee)
"The Temple GC management, staff and members were fantastic all week. We are so grateful to you all. The food was brilliant and the greens staff worked wonders to keep the course playable. I have received many emails from players and officials saying how well things went and how much they enjoyed the County Week."
Elspeth Cooper (President – Berkshire County Ladies Golf Association)
"Thank you once again for arranging our golf day on 20th May. We had a brilliant time, the weather was good and the course amazing. This is now the second time I have played your course and I must say it was outstanding with the fairways & greens immaculate. We had a lovely lunch in the clubhouse and all your staff so friendly and helpful."
Wayne Evans (Visiting Golfer)
"I joined Temple in 1970 when the waiting list was around 10 years and in my opinion Temple golf course has never been in better condition than it is now, and the course presentation on Captain's Day was excellent!"
David Doodson (Long Standing Temple Member)
"After nearly 30 years of golfing with my father we have just enjoyed our first ever round at a shared golf club and words can't fully express how special it felt! I want to offer my heartfelt gratitude to the Club for enabling this to happen with your fabulous Lifestyle membership. It feels amazing to be back into club golf, and even better that it's my dad's club too!"
James Pool (New Lifestyle Member)
"We had a wonderful week, which was made all the more enjoyable due to the welcome that the staff and members gave us. I do hope that you will pass on our thanks for the tremendous effort by all concerned to ensure that everything ran so smoothly."
Phillipa Cook (Bucks County Captain – County Golf Week)

real stopping power

I have a 2013 Silverado and under 50,000 miles both of the inner shoes were worn down to the rotor.I installed the Power Stop Brake Kit and noticed a nice smooth quick stop, compared to OEM breaks.
A quality hose.
Reviewed By Pete P (Los Altos, CA) Reviewed for a 1983 BMW 5-Series —9/25/2016 4:45 PM
The stop tech SS brake line seems to be a nice solid hose, with good strain reliefs and good crimps on the fittings. They fit well and included the right parts to attach to my strut hose locator. The kit even includes a little stopper to prevent the car from leaking brake fluid while changing out the lines. Although the photos all show banjo fittings, the lines shipped were appropriate for my application.

On Tap Today: Marcus Center will rock you
This past summer's movie musical "Rock of Ages" may have been a bomb, but '80s rock is still plenty popular in Milwaukee. This week alone features Journey, Pat Benatar and Loverboy at a joint concert at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Friday. And at 7:30 p.m. tonight, you can see the music of Journey and Pat Benatar rearranged for the legitimate theater, as traveling stage musical "Rock of Ages" returns to Milwaukee for a six-date engagement at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St. The tour was last here less than 18 months ago, with a couple dates at the Milwaukee Theatre and "American Idol" alum Constantine Maroulis in the lead role.
Obviously, Milwaukee's '80s rock lovers haven't stopped believin'. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Susie Essman, Richard Lewis are a hit and a miss
In the eyes of any talent booker, Richard Lewis and Susie Essman would seem like a totally compatible pairing for a comedy bill. Both standups regularly appear on Larry David's HBO hit comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They're the same generation (Lewis is 65, Essman 57), and their takes on their Jewish backgrounds, aging and sexuality aren't too dissimilar.
And so Lewis and Essman were brought in as co-headliners for the second annual Laugh It Up Milwaukee benefit Saturday, presented by the Bayshore Community Foundation and hosted at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. »Read Full Article(6)

Truth, faith, hope collide in Milwaukee Rep's 'How the World Began'
You can take as gospel truth that when a high school biology teacher in rural Kansas tells a classroom of students that creationism is "gobbledygook," there's going to be an uproar.
That's not exactly what Susan Pierce said to her students, but it's close enough to offend 16-year-old Micah Staab, for whom every word in the Book of Genesis is true. The ensuing conflict propels Catherine Trieschmann's "How the World Began," the intermission-free play now being staged by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater under Brent Hazelton's direction. »Read Full Article

Note that those with equal scores are also ranked according to tie-breaker scores.
Congratulations to Bryony Marsh, our new Club Champion for 2015, and to all our age-group Champions too.
The "Grading Performance Awards" were awarded to the three players who, to over-simplify somewhat, played (statistically) at a stronger level than usual, by the largest margin. The "Late Starter Award" went to a player who, despite initial setbacks, kept trying hard and did very well in their later games. The "Best Game Awards" were awarded for particularly interesting and well-played games, as judged by our club leader Ian who was monitoring the play.
A huge thank you to Cedar Road Primary School (particularly Kay and Ian) for providing such a great venue for the fifth time running. Also, many thanks to Barbara, David, Dimple, Suzanne, Gareth and other parents for their assistance with administration, refreshments and general supervision.

Tomasz Adamek Tells Klitschko - I'm Ready For War!
By Luke Furman
WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (42-2, 39 KOs) is going to have a serious fight on his hands, according to Polish hero Tomasz Adamek (44-1, 28 KOs). Adamek plans to use his speed and quick punches to outhustle the much larger champion at the new soccer stadium in in Wroclaw. He wants to become the first Polish boxer to achieve the accomplishment of being a three division champion. Adamek has already captured titles at light heavyweight and cruiserweight.
"Thank God I'm healthy. I'm going to win. I'm ready for the world champion belt, I'm ready for war. My spirit is strong. I want to show that a Pole can do it. In December, I'll be 35-years-old, so there is no reason to wait any longer [for this opportunity]," Adamek said.
Luke Furman covers the boxing scene for bokser.org

OLPC Announces XO-3 Tablet
Tablet to cost US$ 75, aimed toward US children.
The One Laptop Per Child Foundation announced plans for a US$ 78 tablet to be revealed at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. Marvell Technologies will partner with OLPC to create the necessary hardware.
The tablet, called the XO-3, will come equipped with an ARM processor and run Android during its prototype phase before becoming an open Linux platform. The XO-3 will also have a screen at least nine inches diagonal and while the initial model will be glass, a dual display for both indoor and outdoor viewing built by Pixel Qi is planned for the 2012 version.
OLPC is aiming the device at children in developed countries. Nicholas Negroponte, the chairman of One Laptop Per Child has high hopes for the device, hoping that it will merge the functionality of an iPad, Kindle and an iPad, all while staying keeping costs low. Negroponte was confident at hitting the price point, but OLPC has had a spotty pricing record in the past.
A reference design for the XO-3 featured Marvell's Armada 610 processor, though no ARM chip has been confirmed.

Get free and unbiased business insurance quotes from all of the main business insurance companies in NZ. Fast & professional New Zealand-wide service.Get Free Quote
There are many kinds of business insurance you need whether you run a private practice, small business or larger corporation.
Each kind of business has its own levels of risks and you need coverage that will prepare you in the event of any kind that can threaten your business.
There are many factors you can consider when you need to find the right policies to protect your business from perils.
For example, if you lease, own or rent a commercial property, you will definitely need commercial property insurance. You want to protect the property in case of accidents such as fires and flooding as well as for burglaries and vandalism.
You may also want to look at a policy that covers the equipment you use for your business and possibly any inventory you may have if you keep items for retail. If you use vehicles for any purpose for your business, you will need to have some kind of commercial vehicle insurance. You will need to look into special properties if you use vehicles for hauling and transporting for hire rather than if you primarily use vehicles to travel to work sites.
Furthermore, if you use multiple vehicles for your business, you want to see if you can get discounted rates for carrying them under one policy.
Professionals will also need to look at various kinds of professional liability insurance. This will help you protect your professional reputation in case a client accuses you of negligence by your services or lack of performing services.
It can also help you with cases of slander and libel. You will not have to pay out of pocket for legal defence fees or any damages that are awarded to a claimant.
You should also consider other kinds of business policies such as health insurance for employees and general liability insurance in case a client or guest is injured on your property.
As with any insurance, you want to look at as many quotes as possible to find the policies that work best for you. You should also consider whether there are any mandatory policies for your specific profession.
Looking for a business insurance quote from the major business insurance companies?

Box Office: 'Muppets' can't take a bite out of 'Breaking Dawn' on Wednesday
The return of "The Muppets" got off to a strong start on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to overtake "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1" at the box office.
The fourth installment of Stephenie Meyers' vampire saga grossed another $12.5 million on Wednesday for a blockbuster $171.4 million in just six days. That's only $7 million behind the franchise's last November release, "New Moon," which had cumed $178.8 million at this point in 2009. Baring a glaring change in moviegoer habits, "Breaking Dawn" should easily win the Thanksgiving frame and break the $215 million mark by Sunday.
Debuting in second place was the critically adored "The Muppets" with $6.6 million. The Jason Segel passion project should dip a bit on a busy family focused Thanksgiving, but should dance its way to at least $45 million by the end of the five-day frame. With a budget of just $35 million and numerous licensing opportunities for parent, lord and overseer the Walt Disney Company, to say Jim Henson's creations are back is a bit of an understatement.
Holding somewhat solidly in third was Warner Bros. "Happy Feet Two." The George Miller sequel to his original Oscar-winning best animated feature found another $2.9 million for $28.3 million in five days. That's a far cry from the first film's box office in 2006, but Warner Bros. will take what they can get domestically at this point and hope for better results overseas.
Opening in fourth place was the charming "Arthur Christmas" with $2.4 million. Unfortunately, the Aardman and Sony Pictures Animation collaboration will be lucky to find $18 million over the frame. That's a very disappointing result considering the marketability and quality of the production, but, like "Happy Feet," "Arthur" may find more gifts internationally. It's already grossed $9 million from just a few markets so far.
Rounding out the top five was "Jack and Jill" with another $1.9 million and $45 million in 13 days. Adam Sandler's latest will have a hard time crossing the $80 million mark let alone his customary $100 million tally.
Also opening was Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed "Hugo" with $1.6 million. The GK Films production (distributed by Paramount) only opened in 1,277 theaters for a very good $1,304 average. With 3D theaters at a premium, Paramount will hope word of mouth, strong reviews and critic's awards keep "Hugo" running through the Christmas season.
Look for continuing box office updates throughout the Holiday weekend on HitFix.

Latino Children and Families
Latino children, youth, and families are a large, fast-growing, diverse – and largely understudied — segment of the U.S. population. Latinos represent 16 percent of our nation's population and 25 percent of our public elementary students. Child Trends explores an array of topics focusing on Latino children and families, including teen pregnancy and other aspects of reproductive health; early childhood development; positive youth development; family formation; effective programs; and indicators related to child well-being. We provide a range of research services from literature reviews, survey design, data analysis, evaluation, and qualitative research.
To help inform how programs and policy can better serve Hispanic children and families, Child Trends and Abt Associates are pleased to announce the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families, funded by the Office of Planning, Research & Evaluation, Administration of Children & Families. The Center is made up of a strong team of national experts in Hispanic issues, and is a hub of research to improve the lives of Hispanics across three priority areas: poverty reduction and self-sufficiency, healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood, and early care and education. Read more about the Center and its Summer Research Fellowship Program.

Scrooge may hog the theatrical limelight during the holiday season, but he's hardly the only one with a story of improbable redemption. Just ask the six troublemaking Herdman kids, who are doing some attention-grabbing of their own in First Stage Children's Theater's eighth production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever."
Early in the Barbara Robinson novel that inspired this play, the narrating Beth Bradley tells us that she and her classmates figured the Herdman clan — poor, dirty and rough — "were headed straight for hell." Sure enough, director Jeff Schaetzke opens the show by bringing the Herdmans onstage from below, surrounded by a swirl of smoke. »Read Full Article(2)

Postal Service can thrive if we end retiree mandate
Something amazing happened while our government leaders were busy dealing with the federal budget, the debt ceiling and the implementation of Obamacare. While they continued to do nothing about the made-up crisis surrounding the Postal Service, the agency actually made an operating profit of $600 million in fiscal year 2013.
What's even more amazing is that it didn't have to close the Buffalo processing plant, stop delivering mail on Saturdays or install "cluster boxes" in neighborhoods forcing you to walk great distances to get your mail. How is that possible? All we had to do was continue to serve the American public.
As the economy continues to improve, businesses and individuals are going back to the Postal Service to advertise their goods and services. Additionally, Internet companies like eBay have seen a huge increase in shipped packages that the post office has continued to deliver at competitive prices. Believe it or not, the Postal Service has even started delivering packages on Sundays for Amazon and plans to expand that service in 2014. It is unbelievable that the same postmaster who wants to end Saturday delivery has implemented Sunday package delivery. All this has been accomplished without one penny of taxpayer money.
Is the crisis over? Not really. Until lawmakers eliminate the mandate that forces the Postal Service to prefund future retiree health benefits 75 years into the future, we will continue to read about the gloom-and-doom financial future of the service. This mandate, a political requirement placed on no other agency or company in the country, costs the Postal Service $5.6 billion a year. It needs to be done away with. Regardless of what politicians tell you, it is an unnecessary evil.

Does torturing enemy prisoners make you feel good? If so, consider this:
We are a God-fearing nation, believing we should "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Our belief in that Golden Rule gives terrorists permission to inflict tortures on captured American troops identical to the tortures we inflict on captured terrorist troops.
If I were a GI in Iraq, I respectfully would give you torture-lovers, and my commander in chief, this advice:
"If you persist in bullying and torturing prisoners, it's only a matter of time before Arab TV shows me, or one of my buddies, being waterboarded, slapped and deprived of sleep, or stripped naked and kept in a freezing room. Mr. President, my buddies and I will worry less when we're on patrol if you stop torturing enemy prisoners."
If torture makes you feel good, picture this: An American you watch being tortured on Arab TV is one of our female GIs. Count on the terrorists to notify her parents as to when they can see their daughter on TV.
If bullying and torturing enemy prisoners makes you swell with pride, your bumper sticker should read, "I Proudly Support Torture of Captured American Troops."
