Quarter of a Cow

Machines

Over the last couple of weeks at work, my skills have been tested in seeing what i have picked up over the last year and three months. Recently i have had to run the disgorging machine to take the caps off Sparkling Wine so that Sweetener for The Sumac Ridge Stellars Jay Brut 2007 Vintage could be made. Doing some quick reading, Brut is a level of Sweetness.

The French use the following terms to describe sweetness in their fizzy:

• Brut Natural or Brut Zéro (less than
3 grams of sugar per liter)

• Extra Brut (less than 6 grams of sugar
per liter)

• Brut (less than 15 grams of sugar
per liter)

• Extra Sec or Extra Dry (12 to 20 grams of sugar per liter)

• Sec (17 to 35 grams of sugar per liter)

• Demi-Sec (33 to 50 grams of sugar
per liter)

• Doux (more than 50 grams of sugar
per liter)

Overall, i handled the Machine pretty well with no real issues, especially when i haven't really had someone teach me about the machines one on one.
The Next test was a couple of days ago when i was asked to label some Jackson Triggs White Meritage 2009. With all the settings on the machine, i have them all sorted out and can almost trouble shoot most, if not all issues with labeling especially, label height, label spacing and timing/track issues.

Angus and Julia Stone - For You

If I talk real slowly, if I try real hard
To make my point dear, that you have my heart
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know

If you love me with all of your heart

If you love me
I'll make you a star in my universe
You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend every day
Shining your light my way

If I talk real slowly, if I hold your hand

If you look real closely my love
You might understand
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know
Here I go, I'll tell you what you already know

If you love me with all that you are

If you love me
I'll make you a star in my universe
You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend every day
Shining your light my way 


Such beautiful words in this song.
If you love me, I'll make you a star in my universe. Isn't that what everyone wants to be in someones life?

Day 18 - An Underrated Movie

Despicable Me
An Awesome Movie That deserves more credit.

Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 81% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 185 reviews, with an average score of 6.8/10. The critical consensus is: "Borrowing heavily (and intelligently) from Pixar and Looney Tunes, Despicable Me is a surprisingly thoughtful, family-friendly treat with a few surprises of its own."

Day 17 - An Overrated Movie

Lion King 2

Definitely not as good as the First One.
