Accelerated Technology's Nucleus Products Offer Complete Support for Altera's Nios II Processors
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, Boston, Mass., Sept. 12, 2005 - Accelerated Technology, a Mentor Graphics division (Nasdaq: MENT), today announced that its Eclipse-powered Nucleus{reg} EDGE software development environment is now available for the Nios{reg} II family of embedded processors from Altera Corporation. The Nucleus EDGE IDE and the Nucleus RTOS software give field programmable gate array (FPGA) users a comprehensive development environment in which to configure software to better manage and build multi-core applications such as wireless broadband and Wi-Fi, cellular infrastructure, wire line, industrial control, automotive and medical.
The Nucleus software support for the Nios II processor includes the ability to automatically configure the Nucleus Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) software using Altera's Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). As a result the Nucleus RTOS software can be adjusted to any hardware changes that the developer might make using Altera's SOPC Builder system-level development tool. This is especially valuable during the earlier design phases when hardware may change frequently.
Nios II processor developers can then take their automatically configured source code and create projects in the Nucleus EDGE environment to build and debug their products within a matter of minutes. Automatic configuration of the Nucleus RTOS software, combined with the Nucleus EDGE software support for Nios II, further reduces the overall development cycle and time to market with features such as multi-core, multi-process debug capabilities, kernel awareness, hardware breakpoints, powerful scripting language support and more. The close link between the hardware and software builds offers extended configurability options while a complete development environment provides consistency, efficiency and reliability across all Nios II FPGA-based designs.
"Ease of use and flexibility are the key reasons Nios II has been adopted by more than twenty thousand embedded designers worldwide," said Chris Balough, Altera's director of software and Nios{reg} marketing. "The Nucleus EDGE environment clearly complements these core Nios II advantages."
The Nucleus EDGE software consists of a seamlessly integrated IDE, compiler, debugger and system profiler. FPGA developers can use this all-inclusive environment to create embedded system products from start to finish.
"The Nios II FPGA is becoming a widely used processor architecture for Nucleus users," said Robert Day, director of marketing, Accelerated Technology Division, Mentor Graphics. "The addition of the Nucleus RTOS auto-configurability together with our premium Nucleus EDGE development tools will help make Nios II-based embedded systems development much easier."
Pricing and Availability
Licenses for the complete Nucleus EDGE development suite begin at U.S. $3,000 per seat. For more information, please contact Accelerated Technology at 800-468-6853.

How to Buy an MP3 Player
Carry around an entire library of music titles all in the palm of your hand. MP3 players utilize digital media that shrinks down the size of music files so you can store more in a small amount of space. When it's time to play the music, you can enjoy crisp, clean sound that rivals a CD player. Learn about how MP3 players can do this for you, along with the functional features you should consider before making a purchase.
How MP3 Players Work
MP3 is a digital format designed especially for music. Music files are in nature very large, so in order to store a lot of songs, the music file size has to be reduced. MP3 codec (compression/decompression) programs take a music file, such as a CD track, and compress it into a much smaller MP3 file. When it's time to play it in an MP3 player, the file is decompressed to original CD-quality sound again. The important benefits of this technology include:
Important Features
The amount of memory available on an MP3 player, dictates the amount of songs you can keep on it at once. MP3 players have internal memory from 32 megabytes (MB) up to several gigabytes (GB). You can also store more music using memory cards. Check which ones are compatible with the player that you are interested in. Here is a list of several of the more popular types:
Song Storage
An average 3 minute CD song takes up about 32 MB of memory. An MP3 song of equal length takes up about 1.6 MB, which means that approximately 20 MP3 songs can fit in the same space as one CD song. To better understand how much memory is right for your needs, consult this chart that gives you an estimate of how many songs can be stored on a number of internal memory or memory card sizes:
Battery Life
One of the biggest benefits to MP3 technology is that it carries a lot of songs in a very small amount of space. Most MP3 players are only a few inches long and a weight just a few ounces. Joggers and bike riders will enjoy hours of music without carrying much at all. For people on long trips to work or a travel destination, lots of memory space provides plenty of music time.

As of right now these figures speak for themselves, top five. Call it larger goalies, larger equipment, or defensive systems. Then look back at previous playoff MVP performances by a goalie.
1. Tomas Vokoun, PIT .957
2. Corey Crawford, CHI .950
3. Craig Anderson, OTT .950
4. Jonathan Quick, LA .944
5. Braden Holtby, WSH .938
1997 Conn Smythe Winner
Mike Vernon .927
The simplest solution in my mind is increase net size. That way the players union cant cry foul about safety and equipment.

Nikolaj Coster Waldau Gossip
Nikolaj Coster Waldau gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Game Of Thrones: looking back and ahead
Handout/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
As expected, the Game Of Thrones panel at Comic-Con this weekend was a big deal. And it was a chance to say goodbye to a couple of our favourite characters. Also a look-ahead to Season 5. So here are Gidget and Oberyn Martell alongside Jon Snow and Arya Stark and the Hound and Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister who, for me at least, is quickly becoming the Pacey Witter of this show. Full Story
Groped by the Kingslayer
FameFlynet, Steffman-Turgeon/ Splash
Cameron Diaz is still working on The Other Woman in New York. I feel like her entire wardrobe in this movie is white. Am I crazy? Anyway, today's scene involved her being groped in public by Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, the Kingslayer in a neck brace. That's not entirely acting, is it? Maybe it is. Full Story
MET Men
TIMOTHY A. CLARY /Dimitrios Kambouris /Larry Busacca /Getty Images, Joel Ginsburg /WENN
Worst: Gerard Butler, obviously. Whatever: Alexander Skarsgard. Runner-up: Jaime Lannister in a bow tie! But even he can't touch the ... Best: Zachary Quinto. Full Story
Cammie & Jaime Lannister?!
FameFlynet, Jose Perez/ Splash
Let me put this out there for you right now... Nikolaj Coster-Waldau > Alexander Skarsgard. Get on board with that. Did you see him on Saturday Night Live?! What I'm saying is that I clutched the sheets. Also, when he reached out last night on Game Of Thrones, with his remaining hand, to hold back Brienne's knife? Jesus, I might need some Lannister-Tarth fan fiction. Full Story
Jaime Lannister almost sprayed George Clooney
Or is it the other way around. The headline on Conan's site reads "Nicolaj Coster-Waldau almost peed on George Clooney" but the way the Kingslayer tells the story, I think it might have been George Clooney leaking on Jaime Lanniser. Full Story
Why is Sansa Still Alive, Again?
Wenn, Mike Coppola/ Getty
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 1 recap We're back! Delightfully, though it's been almost a year, absolutely nothing has changed in Westeros since we were last there, except for perceptions. I spent most of the fist episode going "okay, so here's who they didn't kill". Full Story
Kit's first lead
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
A few members of the cast of Game Of Thrones, along with George R R Martin and showrunners, David Benioff and DB Weiss, were at the television academy yesterday in advance of the Season 3 premiere on March 31... Are you ready?!? Did I mention Arya is adorable in real life and Bran is SO pretty it's unfair? There's none of that Hollywood Machine Child to either of them. Full Story
Jaime Lannister and Jon Snow after the Globes
They were at the HBO party. I just did a brief search for Rose Leslie who plays Gidget or whatever and she didn't come up although that doesn't mean she wasn't there since American photographers don't really recognise British actors, including Michelle Dockery who was mislabelled "Rumer Willis" for a while on Getty Images. Full Story
Exactly a month
Tim Whitby/Getty
WAR IS COMING.OK! Because I am ready!You must be ready too, right?On April 1st, Game of Thrones is back with Season 2. FINALLY.Which means, if you didn't watch Season 1, you now have a month to catch up and join. People went apesh-t over this show. I went apesh-t over this show. Even Duana, and she doesn't usually go apesh-t over shows that don't involve high school, is apesh-t over this show. Full Story
A very small man can cast a very large shadow
JOE KLAMAR/Alberto E. Rodriguez/Jason Merritt/Steve Granitz/Frazer Harrison/Getty
HBO released a new teaser trailer for Season 2 of Game of Thrones yesterday just as select members of the cast were at the SAG Awards. I'm sorry there aren't more photos. I'm sorry I couldn't find any of Jason Momoa and Alfie Allen who were at the GoT table but who were not all that attractive to photographers. Full Story
On Kit and Game of Thrones at Comic-Con 2011
As Sarah noted in her post earlier, Game of Thrones was a huge draw this weekend at Comic-Con. The line was long for the panel. Unfortunately – for me at least – there was no standard line for the media. They allowed 2 or 3 of the big outlets a few questions but it wasn't a regular situation where the press were invited to a specific event. Full Story
Alex after dark
Oftentimes at festivals and conventions, the best parties are the late parties, or not even a party but the bar or lounge everyone just ends up at the end of the night. Summit had a party yesterday and several celebrities, including the Twilight people, made flyby appearances but those are mostly glad-hand affairs and it's not an environment where they can kinda just kick it and let loose. Full Story
Game of Thrones: one more to go
If you haven't watched last night's episode, you need to skip this post now and come back to it later. MAJOR SPOILER ahead. Be warned. So… See? I would have been hugely disappointed in the show, in the writing, in all of it if they hadn't gone through with it. Because at that point, there was no other choice: Ned had to die. Full Story
Game of Thrones in Monte Carlo
Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Mark Addy, and of course Sean Bean are all at the Monte Carlo Television Festival promoting Game of Thrones, my summer tv obsession. And, as I gather from your emails, many of you feel the same. It keeps getting better and better with every episode. Sunday's was particularly sharp, I think the best so far. Full Story

CNN — TV networks and movie studios have postponed episodes and movie premieres out of sensitivity for the Newtown school shooting, and radio stations are also being cautious with the songs they play.
According to Billboard magazine, some stations have pulled Ke$ha's popular "Die Young" from the airwaves following last Friday's tragedy that claimed the lives of 20 elementary school students.
In the pop/dance song, which is at No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100, Ke$ha sings about making the most of a night out "like we're gonna die young."
The program director and morning host for Danbury, Connecticut's WDAQ told Billboard that the song may be about "seizing the moment" but "all people are going to hear right now is those two words in the title." As a result, the station's elected not to play "Die Young" or Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks," which has lyrics that also could be seen as insensitive.
The pop star herself has tweeted that she stands behind that decision. "I'm so so so sorry for anyone who has been effected by this tragedy," she posted Tuesday. "I understand why my song is now inappropriate. words cannot express."

Eagles win twice, move into zone title round
By LARRY MORITZ
Special to The HDN
SALINA -- The ultimate goal might be winning three consecutive games in the next two days and claiming a zone tournament title.
But the only thing the Salina Pestinger Falcons are focusing on right now is one game this afternoon. That one game will decide if their season ends today or is extended at least one more week.
The Falcons will play in the first elimination game of the American Legion Class AAA Zone 6 Tournament when they face Junction City at 3 p.m. today at Dean Evans Stadium.
Because of an unusual three-team zone format -- which includes state tourney host Hays -- the winner of today's Salina-Junction City contest will finish no worse than runner-up in the zone. That would be good enough to advance to next week's Class AAA state tournament.
"We know what's on the line," Salina coach Jason Gordon said. "Win and we go on to state. Lose and the season is over.
"It's a must-win and I expect us to come out focused with some energy and play the game the right way."
The Falcons put themselves in this position with an 8-4 loss to Hays on Tuesday night at Evans Stadium. Salina, the top seed in the zone tournament, would have to win three games to deny the Eagles the zone tourney title.
The Salina-Junction City winner will play Hays in the first tournament championship game at 6 p.m. today. If Hays wins, it is the zone champ.
If Salina or Junction City wins today's late game, a second title game under the double-elimination format would be necessary Thursday morning.
Although Hays doesn't have as much on the line as its opponents, the Eagles opened the tournament with a 5-2 victory against Junction City in Tuesday's early contest, before handing Salina its first postseason loss.
"It's been an up-and-down year for us," Hays coach Brad Kelly said. "We play good one day and not so much the next.
"But we're approaching this no different than any other game. We want to win every time we step out there. We preach going into every game like it's do-or-die, whether its a postseason game or a regular season doubleheader."
"The fact that we already know we are going to be at state helps us to relax," Hays infielder Hayden Hutchison said. "But we're not going to change anything. We'll play the same ball we've been playing all year.
"We hope this will give us some momentum going to the state tournament."
Hays used only two pitchers in its two nine-inning games, with Kade Parker going the distance against Junction City before Layne Downing did the same against Salina.
The Falcons took an early lead on Hays when Dalton Dooley's sacrifice fly scored Trent Earley in the bottom of the first. Hays never trailed after scoring three runs on three hits in the third, though Salina did tie it up temporarily in the bottom of that innng on Dooley's run-scoring ground out and Keenan Breen's RBI single.
Hutchison doubled to drive in a run, then scored himself on Chandler Rule's single to make it 5-3 in the fourth.
After collecting eight hits total in the win over Junction City, the Eagles had 11 in the first five innings against Salina.
"We didn't swing well at all against Junction City," Hutchison said. "Maybe we were saving hits for the second game. We also know Salina is a good team and maybe we gear up better against them."
Hays had two on and two out in the fifth when Salina intentionally walked Hutchison with first base open. Rule followed with a two-run single, with a third run scoring on an overthrow to push the lead to 8-3.
"They jumped out to a lead and we couldn't establish anything offensively to get a rally going," Gordon said. "Tip your hat to Downing because he kept us off balance.
"We would get guys on the bases and they had guys step up and make plays or make a pitch to get out of it."
Salina reliever Daniel O'Brien entered the game with two outs in the fifth and pitched 4 1/3 innings of no-hit ball. The only Hays baserunner the final four innings reached on an error.
The Falcons (24-13) had three consecutive hits to open the ninth against Downing.
A single from Robert James, a double from Earley and Matt Rowe's RBI single brougth home the final run.
Earley was out at home attempting to score on an overthrow, and Downing closed it out with a flyball to right and his only strikeout of the game.
Hays 5, Junction City 2
Parker pitched a complete game seven-hitter and did not allow an earned run in the Eagles victory over Junction City.
Leadoff hitter Clayton Basgall went 4 for 5, drove in the first run for Hays and scored two more himself.
Basgall's RBI single in the third gave Hays the 1-0 lead, but Junction scored a pair of runs in the top of the fourth after a two-out error.
Hutchison and Rule had back-to-back bases-loaded walks in the fifth to put Hays in front for good.
The Eagles added two unearned runs of their own in the seventh, including one on John Griffith's two-out double.

Tip #6:
Suppose you have set up several microphones to pick up sound sources. Each sound source has its own close-placed mic. You are mixing the mic signals through a mixer.
Sound from a single source arrives at each microphone at a different time. So, a mic that is distant from the source is picking up the source with a delay, which causes variable phase shift vs. frequency. When you combine the close and distant mic signals in your mixer, certain frequencies cancel out due to phase interference, creating a "comb-filter" effect. The frequency response of a comb filter has a series of peaks and dips (see figure below.) This response often gives a thin, hollow, filtered tone quality. Audible comb filtering can occur whenever two or more mics pick up the same sound source at about the same level but at different distances, and are mixed to the same channel. This problem can be minimized or eliminated by following In general, place mics close to their sources and keep the mics far apart to prevent audible comb filtering. |
This figure shows how to mike two sound sources with two mics while following the 3:1 rule. If the mic-to-source distance were 2 feet, the mics should be at least 2x3 or 6 feet apart to prevent audible comb filtering.
The left-side frequency response results when two mics are mixed to the same channel at equal levels, and you followed the 3:1 rule. The right-side response results when you don't follow the 3:1 rule. |

NVIDIA GPUDirect
Whether you are exploring mountains of geological data, researching solutions to complex scientific problems, or racing to model fast-moving financial markets, you need a computing platform that delivers the highest throughput and lowest latency possible. GPU-accelerated clusters and workstations are widely recognized for providing the tremendous horsepower required by compute-intensive workloads. Compute-intensive applications can provide even faster results with NVIDIA GPUDirect™.
First introduced in June 2010, GPUDirect version 1 supported accelerated communication with network and storage devices. Itwas supported by InfiniBand solutions available from Mellanox and others. In 2011, GPUDirect version 2 added support for peer-to-peer communication between GPUs on the same shared memory server. GPU Direct RDMA, announced in 2013, enables RDMA transfers across an Infiniband network between GPUs in different cluster nodes, bypassing CPU host memory altogether.
Using GPUDirect, 3rd party network adapters, solid-state drives (SSDs) and other devices can directly read and write CUDA host and device memory. GPUDirect eliminates unnecessary system memory copies, dramatically lowers CPU overhead, and reduces latency, resulting in significant performance improvements in data transfer times for applications running on NVIDIA Tesla™ and Quadro™ products.
For more information, see the GPUDirect Technology Overview.
Key Features:
The diagrams below show how GPUDirect technologies work.

Low back pain refers to pain that you feel in your lower back. You may also have back stiffness, decreased movement of the lower back, and difficulty standing straight.
Acute back pain can last for a few days to a few weeks.
Backache; Low back pain; Lumbar pain; Pain - back; Acute back pain; Back pain - new; Back pain - short-term; Back strain - new
Most people have at least one backache in their life. Although this pain or discomfort can happen anywhere in your back, the most common area affected is your lower back. This is because the lower back supports most of your body's weight.
Low back pain is the number two reason that Americans see their health care provider -- second only to colds and flu.
You'll usually first feel back pain just after you lift a heavy object, move suddenly, sit in one position for a long time, or have an injury or accident.
Acute low back pain is most often caused by a sudden injury to the muscles and ligaments supporting the back. The pain may be caused by muscle spasms or a strain or tear in the muscles and ligaments.
Causes of sudden low back pain include:
Low back pain may also be due to:
You may feel a variety of symptoms if you have hurt your back. You may have a tingling or burning sensation, a dull achy feeling, or sharp pain. The pain may be mild, or it can be so severe that you are unable to move.
Depending on the cause of your back pain, you may also have pain in your leg, hip, or the bottom of your foot. You may also have weakness in your legs and feet.
When you first see your health care provider , you will be asked about your back pain, including how often it occurs and how severe it is.
Your provider will try to determine the cause of your back pain and whether it is likely to quickly get better with simple measures such as ice, mild painkillers, physical therapy, and proper exercises. Most of the time, back pain will get better using these approaches.
During the physical exam, your health care provider will try to pinpoint the location of the pain and figure out how it affects your movement.
Most people with back pain improve or recover within 4 to 6 weeks. Your provider may not order any tests during the first visit unless you have certain symptoms.
Tests that might be ordered include:
To get better quickly, take the right measures when you first feel pain.
Here are some tips for how to handle pain:
While sleeping, try lying in a curled-up, fetal position with a pillow between your legs. If you usually sleep on your back, place a pillow or rolled towel under your knees to relieve pressure.
A common misbelief about back pain is that you need to rest and avoid activity for a long time. In fact, bed rest is not recommended. If you have no sign of a serious cause for your back pain (such as loss of bowel or bladder control, weakness, weight loss, or fever), then you should stay as active as possible.
You may want to reduce your activity only for the first couple of days. Then, slowly start your usual activities after that. Do not perform activities that involve heavy lifting or twisting of your back for the first 6 weeks after the pain begins. After 2 to 3 weeks, you should gradually start exercising again.
If your pain lasts longer than one month, your primary health care provider may send you to see either an orthopedist (bone specialist) or neurologist (nerve specialist).
If your pain has not improved after use of medicines, physical therapy, and other treatments, your doctor may recommend an epidural injection .
You may also see:
Sometimes a few visits to these specialists will help back pain.
Many people feel better within 1 week. After another 4 to 6 weeks, the back pain should be completely gone.
Call your health care provider right away if you have:
Also call if:
There are many things you can do to lower your chances of getting back pain. Exercise is important for preventing back pain. Through exercise you can:
It is also very important to learn to lift and bend properly. Follow these tips:
Other measures to prevent back pain include:
Learn to relax. Try methods such as yoga, tai chi, or massage.

The one thing I didn't have was just the right binding - and my friend and co-worker Sharon (hi Sharon!) found just the right black with gold print for a binding. Perfect - except I was 2" short. So I threw-in a little orange patch for personality.
Here's the picture where we tried to shoot the quilt on location. (I'm afraid you're all going to get bored to death with my backyard fence.) A great little 'fallish' looking spot, but we were on the way home from piano lessons,working against rapidly darkening skies and an impending snow-storm (I know) and my only option for official quilt holder was my 11-year-old. Stalwart and brave (and ever patient with her mother's weirdness) as she was, her arms just weren't quite long enough to get a full body shot of the quilt. But it's still kind of a cool picture, so it get's recognition as well.
Hope your Halloween was spooky and fun. We had a cowboy, a camo/army guy, a cute girl from the 50's complete with poodle skirt and pixie glasses - which she really doubted looked as awesome as they did - and Hermione Granger from Gryffindor. All was covered up in raincoats as our neighborhood tricked-or-treated last night in very soggy weather. Happy that all came together well and also happy to be done. (Am I a party pooper?) Halloween is fun but those costumes start stressing me out!
PS I delivered Halloween Quilt #1 this past week. Can I just say it brought me that weepy kind of happiness to see a 4-year-old rolling on the floor wrapped-up inside it?

Great for Tough Chewers!
In the Himalayas, the chew comes from an ancient recipe that is used by the locals to create a long-lasting snack that they can slowly work in their mouths while they are working in the fields.
This is a very long lasting dog chew. Dogs must work the end of the treat for hours, softening it with their mouths before small parts of it can be slowly scraped off. It is 100% natural with no preservatives. It is an authentic type of cheese eaten by the people of the Himalayas. When you give this chew to your dog, you know that you are providing them with hours of high quality eating entertainment.

Comments about Himalayan Dog Chew:
My Yorkie wasn't interested in these at all until we adopted another dog this week. Now all of the suddent everyone wants these treats. The new pup has chewed pieces off of them while my Yorkie hasn't. I let them chew on them for about 20-30 minutes each night. I tried microwaving the piece that fell off for a minute & 1/2 and nothing happened so I tossed it.

Like candy for dogs...only healthy!
By Wookies Mom
from Grants Pass, OR
I got these for my 2 dogs for Christmas. I got a smaller one for my little chihuahua/terrier mix and a larger one for my husky mix. I couldn't really see a big difference in the size and they ended up trading several times anyway. They both loved these and they lasted several days. My dogs are both aggressive chewers. The husky is over 11 years old, but still loves a good chew. These didn't last as long as antlers, but they seemed to think they were more delicious. My little dog got quite territorial around his, which he normally doesn't do. No digestive issues at all, no smell, no staining of the floor. These are an excellent product!
Longest lasting Chew I've tried.
By Christi
from Atlanta, GA
I have a crazy chewer. Nothing keeps his attention, and he devours everything way too fast. Finally! A chew that actually took him about two hours to finish off, and it kept his attention. I bought the medium size (he's a 40lb, 8-month old maniac!) but next time I'd get the big size. Might keep his attention even longer. He got kind of a sensitive stomache too, so hopefully it digests well; no problems so far.

Dogs love them
By Retiree

About Me New Owner
I have 2 dogs, 20 mos old each: a large Weimaraner and a small Beagle. My dogs love this chew. I use it for the times that I will be gone from the house for awhile and want the dogs tokeep busy. It works because it takes a while for the dogs to chew this product down, Also, whenthe chew is 1/2 gone I put it in the microwave for40 seconds and the chew expands!

We give Ruby some kind of chew everday. The Himalayan treat is a favorite, maybe one every week or so. She loves it, keeps her occupied, and is not too messy.

Not sure I will buy again
By DK
from Chicago,Il
I am always looking for new things for My dog to chew a play with,thought I'd give this pricey item a shot.....Good size, I got the largest one, my dog is a 73 lb Dutch Shepard/pit mix,not many things last very long with her.She chewed for about 2-2 1/2 hrs, left a little nub about 3 1/2 inches long,she started chewing again the next day I was watching her,yet she managed to swallow half of it(length wise)with out me noticing,I discovered this cause two days later she threw it up(thank god)first thing in the morning,it came out the same as it went in (scary)did not digest after sitting in her system for 2 days!Lucky it did not cause any serious problems,she did enjoy it alot in the beginning,just not sure I will get another one if I do I will be throwing away the nub!Hope this helps someone.

Our dogs love these chews! They actually last a few days at our house. The chew is kind of messy but not bad.
Great chew
By ALR
from Scarsdale , NY
My dog really enjoys this chew. It smells like smoked gouda cheese.It is all natural and lasts very long as it is very hard and my dog has to lick it to soften it to break off a tiny piece. He thoroughly enjoys it and looks forward to it every night -for about 10 minutes......

Awesome long lasting snack
By Lgldude
from Orange County, CA
A friend recommended these for my aussies and they can't get enough. They last fairly long even my guys are aggressive and powerful chewers. Keeps them occupied and engaged. Completely digestible so no remants building up around the house. Once they get small enough, pop in the microwave for a different chewing experience.

When the weather warms, it's time open a bottle of Provencal rosé
Posted: May 7, 2014 By James Molesworth
There is perhaps no other wine so seasonal as rosé (maybe Port in winter). The sudden and quick flood of rosé that comes through the tasting room this time of year is the harbinger of sidewalk cafés filled with people knocking back the pink stuff as beads of condensation drip down the sides of overstuffed silver wine buckets.

It looks like an early season as winemakers and growers hope for more rain
Posted: May 7, 2014 By Tim Fish
Things are getting busy in the vineyards of California right now. Vines are blooming in all but the coolest regions of the state. Those little flowers will turn into tiny grapes before you know it. I checked with a few winemakers and growers for the latest in the vineyards. The season is running early throughout the state, generally two weeks earlier than normal, but in some areas it's more than that. Which means that unless summer sends a weather curve ball, it will be another early harvest like 2013. Here are their reports from Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara and more.

Keeping corks healthy means keeping the humidity just right
Posted: May 6, 2014 By James Laube
When it comes to cellaring wine, I've never paid much attention to humidity. But I've always been curious about the topic.
The debate over the importance of humidity has long been taken up by wine folks. One school of thought is that high humidity keeps a cork damp so it won't dry out or crumble, possibly exposing the wine to oxygen. My fellow columnist Matt Kramer is skeptical of the role humidity plays in the cellar. My general distrust of corks includes the crumbling effect. Usually, older corks are susceptible to cracking and crumbling. But I find younger corks are just as big a pain. No one likes to fish crumbled cork out of their glass of wine, even if it hasn't been oxidized.

Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt makes winning values that retain a sense of place
Posted: April 30, 2014 By Tim Fish
Nick Goldschmidt is one of the busiest winemakers I know. He's more under-the-radar than his friends Michel Rolland and Paul Hobbs, but spends five months a year on the road consulting for 26 wineries in seven countries, including Mission Hill in New Zealand, Viña Errázuriz in Chile and Don Sebastiani & Sons in California.
His Alexander and Dry Creek Valley Merlots are well-made, true to the variety and sell for $20 or less. Here are my notes on five of his recently-released 2012s.

Bordeaux futures is an old-timey and kind of archaic way to buy a commodity like wine. Nowadays, you won't save or make much, if any, money off Bordeaux futures, but that's not why you buy wine, right? "A lot of people like that it's something different, it's a little exciting," said Chuck Hayward, Bordeaux buyer for online retailer J.J. Buckley. "You figure, what the heck, why not buy it now and have something in a couple years? It's almost like a treat for them."
The 2013 futures campaign is a good one to practice on. Once you know how it's done, if 2014 turns out to be an exciting vintage, you'll know what kinds of prices to look for and which wines are rare enough that they're worth snagging early.

Surprises in Clarendon Hills from Jackson Family
Posted: April 28, 2014 By Harvey Steiman
Australians were worried when Jackson Family, which seems to be all over the California wine world, added a historic vineyard in Clarendon Hills to its voluminous holdings in 2001. A big California wine company taking over 250 acres of vineyards that included some vines that had been producing enviable wines for more than 50 years? Seemed like heresy. The Jacksons renamed it Yangarra Estate and quietly went to work on improving things.
Then, in February 2012, Jackson Family won the bidding for the historic 450-acre Hickinbotham Vineyard, about 2 miles away. Rather than making its own wines, Hickinbotham had been producing grapes for Clarendon Hills' single-vineyard bottlings and material for Penfolds Grange and Eileen Hardy Shiraz. Heady stuff.
On my recent visit to Australia I checked in on some experiments at Yangarra and tasted through the debut vintage of Hickinbotham Clarendon Hills Estate wines, due to be released next year.

Florent Baumard rocks out with Stelvin
Posted: April 28, 2014 By James Molesworth
When Florent Baumard, the mild-mannered owner of Domaine des Baumard in France's Loire Valley, announced he was switching to bottling his entire production under screw cap, more than a few people noticed. It was a bold move, not only because of the domaine's high profile as one of the wine world's flagship estates for Chenin Blanc, but because it was still relatively early in the cork versus screw cap closure debate. But while it started as an experiment in the 2003 and 2004 vintages, it didn't take long for Baumard to commit.

The chore of putting in a garden is lessened by thoughts of refreshing spring wines

It was such a beautiful day in Sonoma on Sunday that I started thinking about refreshing spring wines as I gardened.

Here are 5 new reds and whites perfect for sipping outdoors this spring.

Is it better to be neutral or flavorful? Putting wine-and-oyster pairings to the test
Posted: April 22, 2014 By Harvey Steiman
I can't help it. I am a wine guy. I want my wines to contribute to the conversation on my palate when I drink them with food. That comes to mind when I occasionally participate in fun tastings such as the Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition. I joined in on the 20th annual judging as much for unlimited quantities of really good oysters as for the wines, but also to test out a theory.
My brain says, let's find a wine that can stand on its own but also makes nice with the mollusks. Jon Rowley, the tasting's organizer, takes a different approach. "Don't taste the wine first," he admonished us. He wanted us to chew up the oyster first to establish its flavor and texture in our mouths, then wash it down with the wine.

A green style author, designer and merchandiser takes on the category
Posted: April 22, 2014 By Dana Nigro
Danny Seo believes that organically grown wines still have an image problem among a vast swath of Americans. He thinks he can help. If you don't know Danny, he's a boyishly personable former editor of Organic Style magazine who has positioned himself as an expert on living green stylishly and affordably with his Simply Green, Upcycling and Conscious Style Home books, "Do Just One Thing" syndicated newspaper tips, TV appearances on The Today Show and Dr. Oz and his own line of eco-chic housewares. Now he's adding wine to his portfolio.
Seo admits to knowing little about wine except what he likes. During a showcase last year for his upcoming new product lines, he either had the self-deprecating charm to act nervous about speaking to Wine Spectator or was a bit uncomfortable at having to field questions without his wine partner, Mike Votto of Connecticut-based Votto Vines Importing. "I'm not a winemaker. I'm not going to pretend I'm a Real Housewife," Seo quipped. "I don't want to pretend I'm out at the vineyard crushing grapes." What he does, Seo said, is work with partners who are experts in the field, sourcing the products.

New home in Chianti Classico demonstrates the family's commitment and connection to the land
Posted: April 21, 2014 By Robert Camuto
After seven years of work, nightmarish construction problems and a budget that ballooned 170 percent to more than $130 million, Marchesi Antinori's flagship property opened in 2013 on a hillside in Chianti Classico zone of Italy. The Tuscan winery was immediately praised for its audacious environmental design and has already attracted thousands of visitors. The facility includes a 129,000-square-foot winery, the company headquarters, an auditorium, boutique, restaurant, museum, olive oil mill and a facility for producing sweet Vin Santo.
"The idea was to bring the heart of the company back to the countryside where the wine is produced," says the trim, energetic Piero Antinori, who represents the family wine business's 25th generation.

When a cuisine isn't tied to a strong wine tradition, pairing takes on new aspects
Posted: April 17, 2014 By Jennifer Fiedler
This upcoming weekend marks the premiere of The Search for General Tso, a new documentary about Chinese food in America, at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. (Disclosure: I know the filmmakers.) It tells the story of why there's a Chinese restaurant in almost every small town in the United States by tracing the roots of this popular fried chicken takeout dish back to Taiwan. Be forewarned: It will make you hungry.
While wine doesn't play a role in the movie, the film touches on the ideas of migration, adaptation and authenticity—all concepts that philosophically minded wine lovers can extrapolate to the wine world—and the occasion of its release seems like a good time to talk about pairing wine with "Chinese food."
Blogs : Bruce Sanderson Decanted
Posted: April 16, 2014 By Bruce Sanderson
The Consorzio of Chianti Classico introduced its new designation—Gran Selezione—in 2013. It represents the pinnacle of a quality pyramid whose base are the Chianti Classico annate and mid-tier riserva. The goal is to have stricter standards to drive quality and inspire consumer confidence in the wines of Chianti Classico.
Currently, there is a lot of confusion between Chianti, which can be produced from a large area in central Tuscany, bottled by a company that doesn't grow any grapes and sell for as little as $10 and estate grown and bottled wine from the Classico zone in the heart of the entire Chianti area.

A snapshot of the scene in Australia

Winemakers who keep their wineries spotless and hygienic would have been horrified by the sight that greeted me at Jauma, one of the stars of the natural wine movement in Australia. Flies buzzed about a motley assortment of upturned barrels and plastic tanks—any handy vessel large enough to contain a fermentation—the tops draped with old tablecloths and bedsheets.

And what of Dave Powell, the ousted founder?
Posted: April 9, 2014 By Harvey Steiman
Torbreck, which ranks high on anyone's list of modern Australian wine producers, made headlines late last year when Dave Powell, who founded Torbreck in 1994, was summarily fired. Owner Pete Kight, the American entrepreneur who started CheckFree and also owns Quivira winery in Sonoma County, refused to renew Powell's contract.
A crossfire of accusations got ugly, lighting up the Australian press for several weeks. Powell has since been served with court papers invoking a non-compete clause in his contract. He cannot make any wine on his own in 2014, the vintage just wrapping up. The lawsuit goes to trial April 28 in Adelaide.
I recently visited Torbreck to taste the newest vintages, and then sat down with Powell to hear his plans for the future.

In 2013, Bordeaux passed two tests: one of vintage, and one of faith
Posted: April 8, 2014 By James Molesworth
Thanks to Mother Nature, Bordeaux faced myriad problems in 2013. Cold, windy and wet weather during flowering. Mid-season hailstorms. Then steady disease pressure from botrytis that basically went rampant with season-ending rains that lasted from mid-September through October.
It was a stern test that, by all accounts, Bordeaux passed. Not with flying colors—the vintage is hardly anything special. It's likely in the range of 2007, if that. The best red wines will be charming, aromatic drinks in less than a decade (whites are excellent, as are the dessert wines, but Bordeaux remains defined by its reds). But had you thrown this weather at the Bordelais in the decades of the '60s, '70s and '80s, perhaps even the '90s, it would have been a washout. The fact that they passed the test and generally made a drinkable vintage out of a train wreck of a growing season is a testament to several things.

Is it just the place, or how it defines the wine?
Posted: April 7, 2014 By Harvey Steiman
Actually tasting the effects of terroir in a wine can be problematic. This elusiveness makes cynics wave off the idea as nothing but a marketing ploy by French vintners looking for an edge. Although that does happen, I do believe terroir applies not just in France but anywhere in the world serious efforts go into the wine.
We often can't agree on what the word means, however. For some of us, myself included, it comprises all the physical elements of a place that can affect the character of wine made from it. To others it's a specific character, or a cluster of characteristics, they expect to find in the wine at hand, even if introduced by the winemaker.
In other words, is terroir about the basic material, or how it expresses itself in the wine?

Italy's fizzy red is worth your attention once again
Posted: April 7, 2014 By Robert Camuto
Trattoria La Busa, on the southern outskirts of Modena, is a window onto Emilia-Romagna's traditions: Italy's fastest cars, fantastic food and its most misunderstood wines.
Ferrari-racing memorabilia cover the walls, platters of melt-in-your-mouth salumi lap around the dining room, and the kitchen turns out delicious handmade pastas drizzled with thick traditional balsamic vinegar. And dominating the wine list is fizzy red Lambrusco. This Lambrusco is not the sweet red fizz that became Italy's most exported wine in the decades after the 1970s. It's the good stuff: dry, not-quite-sparkling, easy-drinking wine crafted from select grapes and offered at reasonable prices.
