Building a Better Wine List
Restaurants' selections are grouped by grape, texture—even emotion. What Olive Garden gets right
(Please see Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
It may or may not be comforting to know that 93% of the world's population is completely predictable. This is according to a study published in Science magazine last February (predictably enough put together by university professors) which examined predictability in patterns of human mobility and noted, "Spontaneous individuals are largely absent from the population."
The same might be said of restaurant menus. Appetizers are regularly followed by entrées (maybe separated by pasta or salads) and inevitably end with coffee and dessert. Restaurant wine lists, however, are much less predictable—one list may look nothing like another—and some lists I've seen have surely been the work of that unpredictable 7%.
There are lists whose wines are organized according to country of origin, probably the most common method. There are lists that are grouped by grape. These might be limited to standard varietals such as Chardonnay and Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Syrah, with others relegated to "all the rest," or it might run to hundreds of different types from all over the world. Another sort of list divvies up wines according to intensity (light, medium and full-bodied) or simply color (red, white and rosé). Others group them by texture and aroma ("lush" or "floral") or even the emotion they presumably embody ("intense and brooding").
Some lists feature maps or even poetic musings on Ella Fitzgerald. (Yes, there is really a wine list in Chicago that does that—it serves as the introduction to the red Burgundy section.) I've even seen lists whose wines are ordered according to prices and scores. The now-defunct New York restaurant Zoe had a wine list that featured Wine Spectator ratings. (Did too many sub-90-point wines help close the doors?)
How do wine directors decide to put together a list—and which kind truly serves diners best?
At L'Ecole restaurant, run by the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan, general manager and wine director Marcella Smith believes the most useful list is arranged according to grape. She put together a list that literally runs the varietal alphabet, starting with Albariño, the white grape of Spain, and ending—88 grapes later—with Zweigelt, an earthy Austrian red. It's certainly comprehensive and there are lots of interesting, reasonably priced choices, but I thought it was a bit challenging for both staff and guests.
My Wine-List Wish List
- Geography-focused wine lists should contain maps. (If a place is important, then show it.)
- Varietal-focused wine lists should come with descriptors of the grapes. (What does a Coda di Volpe taste like, anyway?)
- Descriptive wine lists should be limited to flavors and textures. (And those flavors and textures should be universal—words like crisp, fruity and oaky tend to be widely understood.)
- A passionate sommelier is terrific—but better in person than on the page. (Emotional excess can annoy as much as appeal.)
- Choose some wines that people regularly drink in addition to the trophies and oddballs (and charge a reasonable price for all three).
Take, for example, all the wines under "Riesling." They were from various places all over in the world—Germany, Austria, France and New York—and made in a variety of styles, ranging from sweet to dry. And yet there was no further distinction to help the diner choose. Even more confusing was the fact that many of the grapes on the list don't ever appear on the labels of bottles The restaurant's Soave, the 2007 Pieropan Soave Classico, is a lovely wine but it's slotted under "Garganega," a grape few people know, let alone find synonymous with Soave.
Didn't this provoke lots of questions from customers? With a wine list that featured grapes like Romorantin and Coda di Volpe, I figured they must be flagging waiters down left and right. They are, Ms. Smith replied, "But they feel comfortable doing so because it's a school. Our wine list is a learning tool and the restaurant is an extension of the school, after all."
These are five wines I'd be happy to find on a wine list. I've noted how they might be categorized on different types of lists.
2009 Elena Walch Schiava, $18
This plump, juicy, utterly delicious red tastes like a Pinot Noir but is actually Schiava, the most-planted (but perhaps least-respected) grape of the Alto Adige region of Italy. I ordered it in a restaurant recently and it impressed even my high-spending wine friends.
On a grape-based list, look under: Schiava
On a geographic list, look under: "Other Italian" (or Northern Italian)
On a descriptive list, look under: Juicy, lively
2009 Olga Raffault Chinon Rosé, $15
The Loire Valley is one of my favorite regions for finding bargains on wine lists and no wine may be better priced or better suited to the season than this lively palate pleasing rose from a top Chinon producer.
Grape-based: Cabernet Franc
Geographic: Loire Valley, France
Descriptive: Vivacious, charming
Alfred Gratien Brut Classique Champagne, $40
The big Champagne houses are well-represented on most restaurant lists. Wines from small, high-quality houses like Alfred Gratien are much harder to find, but this elegant, well-balanced nonvintage bottling is worth a search.
Grape-based: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier (blend)
Geographic: Champagne, France
Descriptive: Refreshing, bright
2007 Les Terrasses Alvaro Palacios, $35
Alvaro Palacios is one of the most famous producers in Spain and he makes a wide range of wine—from the legendary (and pricey) L'Ermita to the more affordable (and accessible) Les Terrasses. This is an impressively powerful, full-bodied blend of Grenache, Cariagne and Cabernet.
Grape-based: Grenache blend
Geographic: Priorat, Spain
Descriptive: Powerful
2007 Prager Achleiten Stockultur Grüner Veltliner, $70
The Prager name is one of the most famous in the right circles. The Achleiten Stockultur is a superb single-vineyard Grüner Veltliner that is one of greatest wines of the vintage—and perhaps of the whole Wachau region of Austria. Lush and full-bodied but with a decided mineral edge, it has years of life ahead.
Grape-based: Grüner Veltliner
Geographic: Wachau, Austria
Descriptive: Complex, intense
Many other wine directors order their lists by country and region. Famed Birmingham, Ala., chef Frank Stitt (the Highland Bar and Grill, Chez Fon Fon, Bottega) who also serves as his restaurants' wine director, invoked the word "classicist" to describe this particular style. Mr. Stitt studied in France, where regions and not grapes, are recognized and hallowed—but for the average American diner, the names of regions like Rasteau and Arbois are as foreign as the grapes Romorantin and Godello.
At Michys of Miami, one of the city's top restaurants, emotions rule the wine list—words like "intense" and "bold," rather than geographic regions or grapes, serve as wine categories. Sometimes the categories come from a thought or a mood, according to wine director Allegra Angelo. The restaurant's co-owner David Martinez (his wife, Michelle Bernstein, is the chef) said the evocative and sometimes provocative list that he and Ms. Angelo have created encourages customers to try wines that they might not otherwise. And perhaps to save face as well: A macho guy trying to impress a date "isn't going to admit he has no idea what a Furmint from Hungary is," Mr. Martinez said. But he might try a wine if it's called "cool and curious" or "intense, complemented by oak."
Predictably, my wine-collector friends aren't fans of these kinds of lists. Wilfred Van Gorp, a Chicago-based collector who travels all over the world, says he doesn't know what wine directors mean by descriptions like "over the top." Besides, he says, "If I'm looking for a particular wine, I don't know where to look on these lists. If I want a red Burgundy I know just where to look on a list that's arranged geographically." "More accessible" lists can actually make knowledgeable wine lovers work harder to find the wines that they prefer.
And then there is the confusion that these categories can provoke. For example, how does one tell if the 2007 Domaine Faury St. Joseph, an "intense but complemented by oak" white on the Michys list, is more intense or less intense or just a different kind of intense than the 2007 Domaine Weinbach Pinot Blanc from Alsace listed in the category of "refreshing to intense"? Were "intense but complemented by oak" wines not actually refreshing as well?
There are shortcomings to every kind of wine list and certain compromises must always be made. And yet, I can think of a few changes that could easily improve each type of list. For example, lists that emphasize geography should contain maps. If the place where a wine is made is important, it should be illustrated somehow. This is one of my favorite attributes of the wine lists at Cru in New York—along with its extensive selection of Burgundies. (Admittedly, the maps—and the Burgundies—take up a lot of room. The list at Cru is so long it's actually two books.)
As to grape-oriented lists, as much I think it's a worthy ambition to try adding varietals to wine drinkers' vocabularies, there are several thousand different grapes in the world they'd conceivably have to learn. If a wine director is determined to feature grapes, I'd want each to come with a brief story—a profile, like Brian Duncan does at Bin 36 in Chicago. (He's the one with the ode to Ella Fitzgerald.) Under "Zinfandel," for example, Mr. Duncan describes the grape's characteristics, flavor and history—and manages another musical reference or two.
As to all those flavor and style notes, I'd pare them back. I'd keep the practical language of weight and texture since many drinkers find them useful, but I'd eliminate words like "sexy" and "love." I like knowing which wines a sommelier deems delicious and worthy, but I'm not sure I want to know which ones put him or her in a romantic mood.
A wine list, after all, is ultimately a sales tool. And it only works as well as the people who actually give it to a diner. This was particularly clear on a recent visit to an Olive Garden restaurant in New Jersey (a friend had raved about Olive Garden's wine service.) By today's standards, the list wasn't memorable—the wines were quite basic and the descriptors ("soft berry flavors" and "smooth and fruity") wouldn't win any literary awards. (The list was put together over the past several years in conjunction with various master sommeliers, according to Olive Garden's director of beverage strategy, Jennifer Arguello.)
And yet my waiter, Lamar, couldn't have been more enthusiastic if he'd been selling Montrachet. He started talking about the wines before he'd even given me the list. Lamar suggested that my friend and I taste any of the wines on the Olive Garden list for 25 cents a glass. (In most Olive Gardens, depending on state laws, the 1-ounce tastes are free.) Did he sell a lot of wine? I asked. Lamar answered an enthusiastic "Yes."
As much as I love looking at wine lists and reading about wine directors' discoveries and ways to highlight exciting regions and grapes, I like it even more when they show up in person to talk about wine—or better yet, offer a taste. "Show, don't tell," after all, is as good a motto for wine as it is for life. But that's probably what you predicted I'd say.

Kim Grinolds – CEO: Speed, speed, speed - Washington has it, Illinois doesn't. Expect Illinois to hang for awhile, but Washington will pull away by wearing them down. Washington opens the season 2-0 with a big road win and moves up the poles a couple of spots.
Prediction: Washington 38, Illinois 10
Chris Fetters – Editor In Chief: This is going to be an interesting test for the Huskies. We will find out if the bye week fixed the issues Sark and his coaches focused on, or if the week off took away the momentum generated by the Boise State win. I think Illinois will struggle to keep up with Washington's tempo on offense, and UW will have to generate at least a couple of turnovers defensively because they will give up yards via the air. The key will be to once again limit the big play and make sure the Illini are turning touchdown opportunities into field goals in the red zone.
Prediction: Washington 42, Illinois 16
Scott Eklund – Recruiting Editor: Is this the week that Washington gets the "road monkey" off their back and gets a big road win for head coach Steve Sarkisian? If Keith Price takes care of the ball and the defense plays up to their capabilities, I see a UW win. Washington has too much team speed that will eventually wear down the Illini, but I think that QB Nathan Scheelhaase will keep them close for a half.
Prediction: Washington 40, Illinois 21
Jay Torrell – Sports Washington Creative Director: First off, how glorious was opening day in the new Husky Stadium? The
biggest compliment I can give is that there wasn't one thing I would change
from the stadium to the game, perfect day. Congrats to all of those who were
involved in building that Montlake palace. [And for the record since I
missed last week's prediction, I had UW 35-BSU 17. Truly felt that Boise
State was wildly overrated headed into the season.] Now to Illinois. The
last time I stayed in Chicago for a Husky game was for the embarrassing
purple helmeted wipeout at Notre Dame in 1996. I expect a much different
result this year as an offensively loaded Husky team should outpace a
surprising Illinois squad. I don't think the Illini win over Cincinnati was
as impressive as the final score. They got some serious breaks and the
Bearcat defense looked awful (btw-how bad must Purdue be?) The combination
of the return of ASJ, emergence of Mickens/Ross as big play threats,
Sankey's dynamic play and a confident Keith Price will allow the Dawgs to
post a big number on a yet to be tested Illinois defense. The only variable
will be what the senior QB led Illini offense can do--but do we really think
that they'll be better than Boise State's offense (or defense for that
matter?) In hindsight Illinois must be wishing this game was still in
Champagne instead of Chicago because the home field advantage will be muted
by only having 45,000 fans in a 61,500 capacity Soldier Field. Avoid the
costly turnovers and much like the game against Boise State the Dawgs run
away from Illinois in the second half.
Prediction: UW 42, Illinois 24
Pat Thrapp – Statistics Coordinator: As I watched the 1st half of the Illinois game versus Cincinnati. I was impressed with Illinois's play. They could move the ball fairly well. On D they were stopping Cincy for the most part. Illinois really spreads the ball around. Both in rushing & passing. In passing 11 players had at least 1 reception. Now how good is Cincinnati? Hard to say. They scored half as many points as Southern Ill who Illinois played the week before. I don't think we will cover the spread. We will score points. Being on the road will be a good test for us against a reasonably decent opponent.
Prediction: Washington 35, Illinois 28
Andrew Dore – Intern Emeritus: This week provides another chance for Illinois to prove they are for real. Last week was a convincing win for the Illini in the blowout over Cincinnati but I still am not sold. The Huskies come in as more than a touchdown favorite and I think it will be an even bigger margin by the time the clock hits all zeros. ASJ's return will add yet another weapon to the Husky offense. I think the Husky defense will still play well without the home field advantage. I see the Huskies pulling away easily in the second half.
Prediction: UW 41, Illinois 13
Andrew Poehlman - Columnist: If you watched Illinois last week--and you were trying to be impartial--it was hard not to come away impressed. The bumbling, barely-able-to-beat-an-FCS-team, raggedy disaster a bunch of us tuned into see seemed to be replaced by a crisp team with a capable quarterback, intriguing athletes and fiery, precise play. For the most part, Illinois dominated a Cincinnati team that many expected to dominate them and they did not do it with trick plays, turnovers and luck; they did it by marching up and down the field and executing on both sides of the ball. In Husky minds, memories of the Boise State domination have started to recede and remembrances of road-struggles have emerged as their replacement and all of Husky nation is left wondering, "what should we expect?" Should we expect the UW team that showed up hapless on the road last year? The team that was embarrassed by Arizona, a 2-win WSU, a team that couldn't do anything to horrible Colorado in the first half? Or should we expect the unexpected team we saw come onto the fresh field of Husky Stadium against Boise and dominate every phase of the game? In my view, this game sets up perfectly as a test for the UW. If we really are that good, we should handle this test. If we are not-yet ready for prime time, we might struggle. But could we lose? Can we pronounce with confidence that the implosion in Pullman will never happen again? What I think is that we will do well. I think the game may have another up-and-down start, but as our offense executes play-after-play, Bishop Sankey gets more-and-more carries, our defense makes tackle-after-tackle, I think our Huskies will not allow doubt to creep into their minds like it did in Pullman. I think we will frustrate and confound the Illini and I think, in the end, we will emerge victorious because we will wear an inexperienced team down mentally and physically. We have more talent, we have a defense that does not give up points or easy plays and we won't have time to worry that we're imploding when things go wrong.
Prediction: Washington 34, Illinois 16
David Samek – The Dawgman: Washington has yet to show me that they can play mistake free on the road. They get distracted, turn the ball over, and miss tackles and take bad angles much more often away from Montlake Boulevard. Some of that is human nature (distractions) and some of that is coaching (expect to win no matter where). Is this the game Sark puts his road stamp on this program? I see Illinois moving the ball and keeping up with the Husky offense for the first half. The UW secondary will get tested as will the linebackers, because the pass rush is still in work. However, the Husky hurry-up offense will make its impression in the second half and the home team will begin to wither. Bishop Sankey goes for 160 yards and although Washington never pulls away, they do win in the fourth quarter to improve to 2-0.
Prediction: Washington 33, Illinois 28
Marshall Cherrington - Intern: After week 1, I thought this game was going to be a blowout win for the Huskies. But after, Illinois' performance last week against Cincinnati, I think it will be a much closer game. Nathan Scheelhaase is the real deal to me and this is why I think the Illini will stay with the Huskies in the first half. If the Huskies come out slow on the road, which they have many times in the past, I expect Sark to make some significant adjustments at halftime. In the end, I think these adjustments will be the key and will help the Huskies to lead to an easy victory. I expect Kasen Williams to have a huge game.
Prediction: Washington 31, Illinois 17

Top Ten Prospects: Philadelphia Phillies
Complete Index of Top 10s
By Will Kimmey
Baseball America's Top 10 Prospects lists are based on projections of a player's long-term worth after discussions with scouting and player-development personnel. All players who haven't exceeded the major league rookie standards of 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched (without regard to service time) are eligible. Ages are as of April 1, 2005.
Scouting reports for the Top 10 Prospects (Subscribers only) -- Click Here to Subscribe
Philadelphia had raised its Opening Day payroll from $57 million in 2002 to $93 million in 2004, and pundits figured the reinforcements would enable the Phillies to overcome the seemingly sagging Braves in the National League East. Bad call. Two days before Atlanta won its 13th straight division title, the Phillies fired manager Larry Bowa after four tumultuous years. It was the only move they could make. They have given out too many long-term, big-money contracts to meaningfully shake up their nucleus.
General manager Ed Wade rightly predicted the new park would play like a bandbox and that the pitching staff might be thin. Since the end of the 2003 season, he dealt nine pitchers ranked on Baseball America's Phillies top 30 prospects list to add Billy Wagner, Eric Milton, Cory Lidle, Felix Rodriguez and Todd Jones. He also signed free agents Kevin Millwood, Todd Worrell and Roberto Hernandez.
All those deals, plus the loss since 2000 of five draft picks in the top three rounds as free-agent compensation, have rendered the farm system thin at the upper levels. Aside from Ryan Howard and Gavin Floyd, the Phillies have few prospects with more than cursory experience above low Class A.
That doesn't mean, however, that Philadelphia's player-development system has been unproductive. It has produced four of the club's eight starting position players in addition to all that trade fodder.
To increase the flow of talent into the organization, the Phillies have renewed their efforts in Latin America after letting them lapse for years. They're one of the few teams with academies in both the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. Instructors travel back and forth from the academies to the club's Clearwater, Fla., training complex to develop a rapport with the players. That creates an early support system that helps them adjust to American culture as well as baseball once they come to the United States.
"This is all part of a master plan that's paying dividends," Latin American operations director Sal Artiaga said, crediting international scouting surpervisor Sal Agostinelli's aggressive mentality for securing nine of the members of the organization's top 30 list. Agostinelli and the Phillies have continued to expand the breadth of the scouting operation, pushing into Nicaragua and creating a strong focus in Australia.
The Phillies' international efforts haven't been as costly or as flashy as those of other clubs, but team officials say they've been just as successful. It's part of their plan of continuing to improve the club through a productive farm system. But if they're to dethrone the Braves in 2005, they'll probably have to look outside the organization for help.

Darin Stewart, President of the Stoneybrook HOA Board of Directors, does not find the ranking surprising. "Stoneybrook has a wonderful livability with unparalleled amenities and an active social calendar for residents," says Stewart, "and it is beautiful and well-kept. We do everything in our power to manage our community as smartly as possible."
Residents of Stoneybrook feel a real bond with the community and actively participate in community events. The homeowners association hosts a variety of seasonal events including breakfast with Santa for children, a carnival-like celebration called "Fall Festival in the Park", and Oktoberfest. Ongoing events include movies in the park, televised football games and popcorn in the social center, and adult wine tastings—which include food lite bites and a personal wine sommelier.
The community has been managed for more than fifteen years by Sentry Management. Michelle Paul, the on-site Community Manager, contends that it is the wisdom and commitment of the Board that has made all the difference. "I think recent sales results are the proof of their diligence. The number of houses sold increased by 19 percent in 2012 and the average sold price increased by 6.6 percent. That is significantly better than the Orlando metro area."

History between War Memorial, Art Museum disrupts overhaul
On the way toward reshaping the more than half-century relationship between the War Memorial Center and the Milwaukee Art Museum, old history and simmering resentments are threatening to disrupt a planned $25 million overhaul of the iconic lakefront temple that's home to the museum and local veterans groups.
Revenue from a parking lot and who controls land on the north side of the center have become the final battleground in a dispute that has its roots in a 1997 amendment to the long-term lease the War Memorial Center has with the county on the building. A 2001 revision to the '97 pact was intended to put the dispute to rest. »Read Full Article(34)

As a Rangers fan, I have had the honor of watching Marc Staal and Dan Girardi continuously shut down opponents' No. 1 lines for a couple of years. I love the way Girardi plays. He is a real "heart and soul" kind of guy and is willing to sacrifice his body for the team. He was amongst the league leaders in shots blocked this past season and was huge for the Rangers.
I love the way he plays and he has endeared himself to Rangers fans. However, how long can he keep up this style of play? I think the Rangers should put him on the market and get the most for him while his stock is still high.
So here are 10 teams that would be wiling to trade for him if the Rangers should put him on the trading block.

Memory leak problems
Memory leaks occur when a program does not free a reference to an object even though the object is not used later, thus making the object's memory unclaimable through garbage collection.
Listing 4 shows the required code changes in the TradeAppServlet to trigger the memory leak problem
Listing 4: Code for causing a memory leak
//For Memory Leak public static ArrayList leakContainer = new ArrayList(); if (TradeConfig.isMemeoryLeak()){ leakContainer.add(new byte[TradeConfig.getLeakSize()]); }
In the Server tab of Daytrader home page (see Figure 16), select the Memory Leak check box and click Update Configuration. The application leaks heap memory at the specified rate.
Figure 16: Specifying a memory leak on the DayTrader configuration screen
Monitoring and Investigating the problem
When a connection leak problem occurs, you can see Used Heap alerts in the dashboard. (Figure 17).
Figure 17: PTT dashboard showing used heap alerts
Next, generate a heap dump, as shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18: Generating a heap dump
The heap dump file is generated under the profile folder of the server. This file can be analyzed using the Memory Analyzer tool in ISA. Import the dump file in ISA and use Memory Analyzer on the dump file. See Figure 19.
Figure 19: Performing memory analysis on a dump file
Choose the default options in the Memory Analyzer tools (Figure 20).
Figure 20: Memory Analyzer options
Memory Analyzer takes several minutes to analyze the dump file. After the analysis is complete, you can open the analysis file. The format of the file name is heapdump.*_analyzer.html. See Figure 21.
Figure 21: Memory analysis report
Select the leak suspects report. This report show information about the leaks. See Figure 22.
Figure 22: Memory analysis details: leak suspects
Click Details to get more information about the problem (Figure 23).
Figure 23: Memory Analysis details of suspected leaks
From the above analysis it is evident that the memory issue is caused by ArrayList objects in TradeAppServlet.

These guys are Ace.10/19/2010
I recently took my family to this location and was pleasantly surprised after reading the previous reviews. Within ten minutes of placing our order we received it still hot and fresh. The staff was very courteous and my kids really enjoyed their arcade area. My son was actually twenty tickets short for the prize he wanted and the guy working the prize booth went ahead and let him have it anyways. These guys are Ace I'll definitely be going back.
Pathetic Customer Service + False Promises = Peter Piper@Bandera08/15/2010
I booked a party for my baby for the first time in this peter piper@Bandera. I had my previous parties at chuck E cheese's and i felt that was faaaaaaar better than these. Here is why. 1) While booking the party i was promised that because of my huge order i would get some discounts. But it all looked like a sales marketing which are not meant to keep. These guys robbed me at the party.. Literally!!! 2) These are pathetic party guys. No sense of humor, no sense of service, poor pizza orders/arrangement. At chuck E cheese's if there is nobody coming after u'r party u wud get a flexibility of keeping u'r ppl for couple more minutes. But here, they went to an extent of calling their security COPS to kick us out of our tables. WOULD YOU LUVVV SUCH KIND OF "COP" SERVICE?? THEN VISIT PETER PIPER@BANDERA.

Something else...I guess
Something else...I guess
Jan 17, 2008 11:41AM PST
Well as of now I have recruited four friends, my sister, mother, and now girlfriend to the world of Final Fantasy XI. As I said in previous blogs I'm pretty good at getting people hooked to things. This case is different however as they all play or at least played the game more than me. I think the four friends no longer play. One doesn't have the internet anymore, one went to WOW, and the other two just quit. The other three are still playing. I think its great that they all enjoy the game, but sometimes its a bad thing. My girlfriend lost track of time while partying in Valkurm Dunes and only got three hours of sleep before she had to go to work. My mom has gone without sleep before work. Perhaps the novelty will wear off eventually.

Natural gas not a 'bridge fuel' to cleaner trucks and cars – study
Natural gas vehicles an expensive, ineffective way to cut car and truck emissions – not a 'bridge fuel'
Increasing the use of natural gas in cars and trucks would be largely ineffective in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution, a new independent study finds. There are no GHG savings in shifting from diesel cars and trucks to compressed or liquefied natural gas (LNG) cars and trucks, while petrol-hybrid, electric and hydrogen cars deliver much greater climate benefits, the study for sustainable transport group Transport & Environment says.
Letter to the Commission to include ambitious direct vision requirements for lorries
In this joint letter, Eurocities, Polis, European Transport Safety Council and Transport & Environment call on the Commission to include ambitious direct vision requirements for lorries in the upcoming revision of the General Safety Regulation (GSR).
Vehicle fuel efficiency standards can help EU countries halve their climate obligations from transport – study
Europe can only meet the climate targets Heads of State agreed on for sectors outside the Emissions Trading System (ETS) if it sets fuel efficiency standards for new cars, vans and lorries by 2025 or earlier, a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) reveals [1]. In a middle-of-the-road scenario where transport would cut CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 [2], the study found that CO2 standards for all vehicles (cars, vans and lorries) in 2025 and 2030 would deliver a whopping 42% of the emissions reduction required from transport.
Electrification strategy: a shift to sustainable e-mobility
This paper sets out why a cross-vehicle, cross-modal strategy to accelerate the electrification of transport – a shift towards sustainable e-mobility – should be an essential part of Europe's ambition to achieve an energy union. It would also bring the benefits of reduced oil imports and transport CO2 emissions as well as stimulate innovation and jobs.
Green light for lorries redesign but only after 2022
Representatives of EU governments have signed off on a deal that will put an end to brick-shaped lorry designs and clear the way for advances in fuel efficiency and safety for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. The agreement allows lorrymakers to produce new designs but the truck industry secured a ban until 2022 even though the new designs are voluntary, not mandatory.
EU agrees on safer, cleaner lorries - but by 2022
The 28 EU governments and the European Parliament last night reached a deal to end brick-shaped lorries, which are inefficient and very dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians. The agreed law gives manufacturers the ability to produce more streamlined, safer and fuel-efficient lorries but, amid heavy lobbying by industry, sets a delay until 2022 [1] before redesigned lorry cabs are allowed on Europe's roads. Member State representatives still need to formally approve the deal at a COREPER meeting on December 17th.
Including transport in the ETS: Counterproductive and legally questionable
This briefing summarises a legal analysis highlighting how the proposals are contrary to the requirements of the current ETS Directive. It also covers new research illustrating why including transport in the ETS would be counterproductive; compared with a scenario of ambitious post-2020 vehicle CO2 standards there would be 160,000 fewer jobs, and €22/77 billion higher oil imports in 2030/2050. Climate policy, as well as transport emissions reductions, would stall.
The ETS mess – Denmark's unholy alliance with the German car industry
Many people tend to see the world in a Manichean way. You've got the good guys and the bad guys. That's as true within the environmental movement as anywhere else. So it is perhaps surprising to see that many environmentalists work together with unusual allies. For example, when it comes to car CO2 standards environmentalists and car drivers have the same interest; cleaner, more efficient cars are good for drivers' pockets and for the climate. That makes the case for them almost irresistible.

DENVER (AP) - Denard Walker, one of the premier free-agent cornerbacks on the market this year, has agreed to a six-year contract with the Denver Broncos.
Walker, 27, has started 56 games in four years for Tennessee, including 15 last season. He has been among the Titans' leaders in passes broken up the past three seasons.
The four-year pro brings a physical nature that fits the mold new defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes is seeking on a Denver defense that ranked 24th overall in 2000 and last against the pass.
Neither of Denver's two starting cornerbacks from last season - Ray Crockett and Terrell Buckley - is expected back. Walker would likely start alongside either veteran Jimmy Spencer or Deltha O'Neal, last season's first-round draft pick.

Another design for the survey of English ports planned by Turner and Thomas Lupton. Dover Castle dominates the composition. Turner has added drama by the stormy sky, and by the exaggeration of the cliffs on the left, which Ruskin complained diminished the town itself. The wreck on the shore, the brig on the right, a lobster-fishing boat and a new paddle-steamer evoke the activities of the port, both traditional and modern.

When a girl is so loose, that she cannot even be pleasured by fisting anymore. But, by the way of the Texas Plunge. This is when the male takes his head, (the one on his shoulders)lubes it up, and plunges it into the females vagina.
Damn, that chick last night was so loose I had to give her the Texas Plunge.

In Tandem Theatre moves back to funny, perceptive 'Apartment 3A'
Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?

The elected officers of ACWW, representing 9 million women worldwide
Case studies of current projects, and how to apply for funding
28th Triennial Conference takes place in the UK from 17-23 August 2019
COMMITTEE FOCUS: Anne Marit Hovstad, ACWW Projects Committee
We explore the role, work and focus of a Committee Chairman
ACWW is an association of women-led societies and groups working collectively for the shared vision of an improved quality of life for women and communities worldwide. With 420 member societies in 73 countries, ACWW gives voice to over 9 million rural and non-rural women.
ACWW believes that through cooperation and understanding we can empower our members to create opportunities for women to exercise more power, make better decisions and change their own lives for the better.
Particular concerns are the relief of poverty, relief of sickness and the protection and preservation of health and advancement of education. Membership is open to Societies and Groups as well as Individuals.
ACWW is one of the largest international development organisations for rural women
Our network allows us to engage at the local, national, and international level with the aim of achieving these goals:
We offer active support for a wide range of crucial development programmes in rural communities
These opportunities and programmes include:
In late 2015, Project 1000 was granted funds. Since the year 1977, ACWW has distributed over £2.2 million in grants to some of the poorest communities on earth.
We welcome women's societies, umbrella organisations, interested groups and individuals.
We also welcome sponsors, donors and those interested in supporting projects through legacy support or major funding.
Our objectives and beliefs
We believe in creating opportunities for women to exercise more power - through being better informed, being part of an enabling environment and having the necessary tools to carry out the changes they want
We believe women will be empowered when they are able to make better decisions and change their own lives.
ACWW believes in empowerment of women by:
Advocacy, partnership, sharing knowledge and local activities - including UN representation, access to better information resources, funding community development projects and training programmes. ACWW is committed to raising the health and standard of living of rural women and their families. ACWW is non-sectarian, non-political, forward looking and friendly.

Another iPhone App Banned from the App Store
On May 26, 2009 By JETLaw May 26, 2009
Apple recently banned an e-book reading application called Eucalyptus from the iPhone app store. Eucalyptus doesn't actually contain any books, but it allows users to retrieve classic books in the public domain from Project Gutenberg. Apple banned the seemingly harmless app because one of the books archived at Project Gutenberg and therefore retrievable [...]Continue Reading →

This skirt is beautiful and great quality. Expect compliments. One consideration, however, is that if you're using it for Zumba (as I do) it can feel a little heavy and a little warm when you're doing really fast songs. But I haven't noticed a single coin lost, and I do a lot of shaking!

Entry Level
Start DateSeptember 18, 2013
We have an eBook, basically 14.500 Words, what we want to translate from German to English.
Basically it is very easy German, here qn example:
Klicken Sie auf OK wenn Sie fertig sind = Click OK, when you are done.
So I guess with medium German skills and / or Google translator, you should get that work, but you should have good English language skills.
Payment, I write here $500, but I think it should be rather less - because I guess it's a work load of 10 - 15h - what is important is, we need that soon back, so most perfect deal would be we make it this weekend - possible

Display brightness
- September 19, 2016
( 5,554)
A simple application that allows you to change the screen brightness.
Adjustable on screen control is top of all the windows.
You don't need brightness widgets any more.
Just install, setup and adjust brightness by touching screen.
Intent for Tasker (or another similar application):
Adjustable on screen control is top of all the windows.
You don't need brightness widgets any more.
Just install, setup and adjust brightness by touching screen.
Don't forget: long (more than 5 sec) click or double fingers click to indicator bar will turn system depended autobrightness.
Intent for Tasker (or another similar application):
Type - Broadcast receiver
Name - "rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness.SetBrightness"
Integer extra parameter "BrightnessLevel" means which brightness level (from 1 to 100%) to set
Free version shows Ads in the Settings, Pro version does not show.
Quick and easy access to brightness setting I probably fret too much about battery life, but with my old Galaxy y, it made a difference to keep the screen at the lowest setting and make it bright when I needed it. This Moto g may not need my micromanagement, but now I'm used to being in control. This app makes it easy, puts a bar at the top that I can set translucently, size and color, and I don't have to go into settings to change brightness.
Marshmallow battery saver renders this app useless Marshmallow battery saver overides app so no use. Let me know when you can have battery saver on but control screen brightness with this app up to the max of what the phone can do.
Best app This is the kind of app I was looking for. This app keeps running even when I play videos on YouTube. Other screen dimmer apps failed as soon as I played videos on youtube. I usually watch videos at night and was looking for something which could let me watch videos without straining my eyes.Thanks
Awesome! Best app ever. Edit: In Marshmallow brightness gets overrided by battery saver, which is very annoying because then I can't see the screen when it's sunny.
Disappearing slider Even though prefs are set to enable slider and enable on boot up, it disappears every time the screen goes to sleep. Need it to be there all the time unless otherwise specified. Is something in lollipop shutting it down?
It's a great app It's does a really great job.. Adjusting the screen brightness during direct sunlight while screen is pattern locked was a nightmare, now it is so easy, thank you very much
What's New
-fixed Exclude list for Android 5.0 and higher
-removed all analytics library
-bugs fixed
-added new intents for broadcasts:
"rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness.AutoBrightness" to set autobrightness mode
"rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness.IncrementBrightness" with extra integer parameter "Increment" to increment/decrement brightness
-added watch dog timer to prevent killing app by system
-removed fullscreen ad
-add notification in status bar (to prevent kill app by system)

WE HERE at Tattle are a nostalgic, sentimental lot. We often find ourselves pining for the good old days - circa 2007 - when Paris Hilton was the center of the universe. So we are pleased to lead today's column with La Hilton, who hasn't yet quite gotten with the program when it comes to using the telephone.
Paris was doing a phone interview Thursday morning with disc jockey Bob Dumas, who works for a station in the Raleigh-Durham region of North Carolina (which says all you need to know about her current buzz-worthiness). According to TMZ, Dumas asked Hilton if she regretted making the infamous sex tape that catapulted her to it-girl status in 2004. (Cleverly titled "One Night in Paris," it dates to 2001 and co-stars the long-forgotten Rick Salomon.)
