Yesterday at CSSConf, we launched Pure – a new CSS library. Phew! Here are the slides from the presentation:
Although it looks pretty minimalist, we've been working on Pure for several months. After many iterations, we have released Pure as a set of small, responsive, CSS modules that you can use in every web project.
You can learn more about Pure on its homepage, or through the GitHub repo.
Pure is 100% CSS, but as front-end engineers, we don't only deal with CSS. Much of our time is spent writing JavaScript as well. One of the advantages of Pure is that it doesn't force you to use a particular JavaScript library. However, we have thought quite a bit about how Pure and YUI can work together now and in the future. Let's dig into that.
To really understand why we made Pure, let's talk a bit about how the project was conceived. Looking at YUI, we felt that there was a lot of really useful CSS in our library, but it was tightly coupled with our JavaScript. YUI has historically had CSS modules such as Grids, Fonts, and Reset, but they aren't exposed well enough to non-YUI users, making them hard to find unless you explore all of YUI's components. In addition, we had some really useful CSS for styling widgets such as table CSS for DataTable, and menu CSS for
node-menunav (and now SmugMug's
Y.Menu). It didn't make sense to keep this tight coupling between CSS and JavaScript, so we decided to break the CSS components out into their own YUI modules. In fact, we had already set a precedent for this with CSSButton.
Once we started upon this path, we realized that instead of just creating new CSS modules, it would be better to split out the CSS entirely into a new project, independent of YUI. There's no reason why someone couldn't use that CSS with jQuery, vanilla JavaScript, Bootstrap, or some other library. That's how Pure came about.
Not only is Pure compatible with jQuery or Bootstrap, but you can also use it with YUI. In the near future, YUI will be depending on Pure. To make this easy to understand, let's take an example such as DataTable:
Currently, DataTable has its CSS stored in its
assets/ directory. This includes base DataTable styles, along with styles for DataTable plugins. In the future, the core DataTable styles will be pulled in from Pure (Pure Tables, to be specific). We envision doing this in the following way:
.pure-table changes to
You could imagine this working for all current YUI widgets that have a CSS dependency in Pure.
There are a few benefits in having YUI depend on Pure in this way. First, it allows Pure to stay independent of YUI. We believe it's important for Pure to have its own identity, and we are accomplishing this by letting Pure have its own release schedule and not be bound by a dependency on YUI.
<table> element styled through Pure, until JavaScript is loaded. From a style perspective, the way the table looks will not change since the same CSS rules are being leveraged by YUI.
We're really excited to see what happens with Pure over the coming weeks and months. As it matures, we're looking forward to building it out through a thriving open-source community. Although Pure is independent of YUI, our improvements to it will be fed back into YUI through the steps mentioned above. We think this is the best way forward when it comes to YUI and CSS.
We want to continue this discussion with you on the YUI Contrib mailing list to figure out the best way to integrate Pure into YUI. Let us know what you think!
This looks great and I'm looking forward to updating my sites with Pure instead of YUI CSS legacy styles. YUI has historically been the most accessible of the CSS and JavaScript libraries due to an attention to progressive enhancement and user testing with screen reader users.
I'd like to point out some accessibility issues in the Pure library.
Your form examples are depending on the placeholder attributes instead of form labels.
This is an accessibility issue. You cannot depend on placeholder text.
Please integrate hidden form labels instead of depending on the placeholder. Does the pure library include a visually-hidden class as defined by Thierry Koblentz's article?
The Tables page should have scope="col". I realize you are simplifying your code for display, but it's also important to give good examples to developers.
The pure menu CSS is dependent on :hover and does not work with keyboard tabbing.
.pure-menu .pure-menu-can-have-children > li:hover:after {
color: #FFFFFF;
.pure-menu li a:hover {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EEEEEE;
.pure-menu li.pure-menu-disabled a:hover {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
color: #BFBFBF;
There are no :active or :focus styles.
Thank you for putting together this library, it looks fantastic.
Wonderfully packaged libraries. Love the size of things. I dream of one day, Pure would have a SASS declinaison (semantic HTML) so I could switch from "Zurb Foundation".
Thx, and keep up the good work. Kudo's from Senegal ;)
"First, it allows Pure to stay independent of YUI. We believe it's important for Pure to have its own identity, and we are accomplishing this by letting Pure have its own release schedule and not be bound by a dependency on YUI."
That makes it all the more strange to me that we would use yui3- prefixes on all class names. Why not leave the prefix as pure- or simply yui- or even just y- or p-.
I personally would vote for yui-, e.g., "yui-table". While this indicates that Pure and YUI are not truly independent– there are tie ups like Datatable after all– it at least leaves version numbers out of the equation. And compared to super-abbreviated prefixes like "y-", it's more readable and understandable to the uninitiated.
Light, bright, fast ! Wonderful work Tilo & YUI Team !
wrote it on github, will add here, the font is miniscule!
Base font of 12px? What is this? 1999?
c'mon guys!
"In the near future, YUI will be depending on Pure. "
I agree with James' comment, since you state it should be independent, why would YUI eventually depend on it?
Where can i DL the sourse code for http://purecss.io/layouts/marketing/ ? i don't see it avail? are the layouts avail as DL? Best, Adam
@adam – for instance https://github.com/yui/pure-site/tree/master/views/pages/layouts
@Ted: Thanks for the feedback Ted. A bunch of folks have pointed out those accessibility issues and we are working on it.
You can check out the GitHub repo for the Pure Site for all the issues that we're tackling. Feel free to add an issue there.
I second Ted Drake's comments on accessibility lacking. I'd also like to point out problems with the buttons example:
None of the element buttons are focusable (keyboard accessible) because the href attribute is left out. A Pure Button screen readers skip right over these elements, add href=# to make them focusable.
The disabled button is visually disabled looking but not actually disabled, apply the disabled attribute to make them disabled for screen readers also.
Of the colored buttons, only the red one has sufficient contrast to meet WCAG 2.0 AA. The gray on gray text also fails contrast.
@Paul, be sure to add these as Issues on the Pure repo so we can track them. https://github.com/yui/pure/issues
YUI that supports XP SP2?
Because Yahoo! News execution YUI crashes.
In XP SP2 + IE8
@eden please file issues as you see them, and we can start figuring out what's up.
[...] Small CSS: The Yahoo UI folks have a project called Pure, which sets out to give you small (4.3K compressed and minified), 100% CSS modules of useful [...]
Looks really promising, also great to see accessibility peeps throwing up red flags, I love that this will all come tucked into one utility belt.
you lost me at "YUI will depend on pure". Not to flame, but why oh why would you do this?
What other JS framework out there puts dependencies on external styling? Stop trying to be everything to everyone, you constrain people too much by forcing them to use your CSS framework alongside your JS framework.
I am saddened by this…
Here is a challenge for everyone. When was Pure css.io created?

Ice Cube Denies Dissing Dr. Dre In 'Drink The Kool-Aid'
rap beef nobody wants to see again: Ice Cube vs. Dr. Dre. It was exciting in the AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and N---az4Life days, but the two legends are going at it again?
That's what some fans thought when footage of Ice Cube performing at the Paid Dues Tour hit cyberspace a few days ago. Cube rapped the lines, "I ain't the doctor/ This ain't the patient/ This ain't that n---a always on vacation/ This ain't no white boy's rehabilitation/ This is crazier then a boatful of Haitians."
Cube addressed the controversy on his blog, writing that he wasn't throwing darts at the Doc and, in fact, he was just in the studio with his former N.W.A groupmate.
"I met Dr. Dre in the studio last night," Cube wrote. "When I got there, Snoop was in the booth laying the finishing touches on another classic from the dynamic duo. He played me some tracks set for the up-and-coming Detox record and we talked about me jumping on board the project. Of course I talked about him doing sh-- on my record and he said he'd bless the album. The Game came through ready to spit but Dre just wanted every[one] to vibe. It felt like old times when me and Dre would work on sh-- in Eazy's cold ass garage. He asked me did I diss him during the Paid Dues show last Saturday. I did one of my new songs called 'Drink the Kool-Aid,' which got everybody thinking I'm dissing the whole industry...lol. 'You internet roaches...' I told Dre that I'd never diss the man that got me started.
"No disses. Just style and grace," he added.

Stop pulling fuses to tow!
Here are four excellent reasons to stop pulling fuses
How about if you never had to spend another minute with your face on the floor mat, gazing up into a black void, hunting for a miniscule piece of plastic playing hide and seek?
You dont have to.
FuseMaster eliminates the necessity of having to remove a fuse for towing, then having to reinsert it for driving. After its installed, you simply flip a switch to accomplish the same task.
There are several FuseMasters which, collectively, fit most vehicles which must have fuses removed for towing.
Application Fit List
Here is a short video showing a typical installation on a Honda CRV.
Read why ROADMASTER customers use this product...
Honda did not give much thought to the location of this fuse. I could not pull it with their fuse puller, ended up using a long needle nose pliers. To re-install the fuse is a real
feat you cant see what youre doing because your hand blocks your view. The hassle of pulling and re-installing the fuse is a real PITA.

NCAA Baseball Regional Game #3Fort Worth, Texas (Lupton Stadium)Baylor 6, Lamar 4June 5, 2010Baylor Head Coach Steve SmithOpening Statement:
"The decision that faced us going into the game was a pitching decision. We made the decision that we felt like would give us the best chance to play through to Monday. We were going to need Jon (Ringenberg) and (Josh) Turley both to give us some innings and to give us a win, and that'really what we got. I thought Josh's performance was just really special. He had a very similar outing to that a week ago at the Big 12 tournament. We found ourselves in our own tournament having already advanced to the championship after Friday, so last Saturday we got to play essentially a free game, which gave us an opportunity to give Jon a start. He hadn't had one in about two weeks. I really think moving forward in this thing is going to be significant. We're playing twice tomorrow, and that's going to be very challenging. We are as prepared for it as we can possibly be."On how he viewed his team's performance:"I didn't think we played very well today. I think we pitched it well. I think the park played big with the win blowing in. I think it was 0-for-15 combined before either team got a hit, so both sides (struggled early). I didn't think we took some really good at-bats in certain situations. Looking back on it now, I doubt anyone in the room thought (Max) Muncy was going to get the ball in play with two strikes (in the eighth inning), and that's the deciding factor in the game right there. I had us for four errors in the game, not that they could have all been scored errors. We can play better. "There were certain parts of the lineup that took some good at-bats, but there were others (that did not). I was really curious to see what (Brooks) Pinckard was going to do when he went to the mound, because I saw what he had done at the plate and in center field. I think he struggled big-time (at the plate and in the field). He couldn't hit it and he couldn't catch it, so today he threw it. But that's the way baseball is."On starting pitcher Jon Ringenberg's performance"They key is that so much of the game is dictated by the guy on the mound. Jon (Ringenberg) was really, really good both fastball and changeup, both sides of the plate. Honestly, I think the most important thing he was able to do was finish some guys with the fastball. If you're just constantly trying to finish guys away (with the changeup), this time of year guys aren't going to chase a lot. They're not going to give you a lot of outs. He made some pretty big pitches in with his fastball that I thought was really important."On Max Muncy's two-run single:"If you're in (Lamar's dugout), that's phenomenally frustrating. You've punched this guy out three times, this is the one time you really need to do it, and you leave a breaking ball a little up and he grounds it through the middle of the infield. In our dugout you're going, `Great. What a bounce-back at-bat.' It's a crazy game."Baylor senior 2B Raynor CampbellOn his defensive gem early in the game:"(The infield is) fast and its bouncy. I did get a good jump on the ball. He was a big left-handed hitter, so I was kind of shaded over in the hole already. I just got a good jump on it. If my glove was any shorter, I wasn't going to get to it. I ended up making the play, and Max (Muncy) ended up staying on the bag on that tough throw with that big guy coming down the line. It was a big-time play on his part also."On his sliding catch in the eighth inning:"I called for it really late. When it was first hit, I didn't know if Max (Muncy) was going to be able to get there or not. I saw him back peddling and not going to get there, so at that point I knew it was my ball. I just called for it late. My instincts told me to slide, and luckily I did slide because I was sliding for like five feet before the ball got to my glove."On playing better defense after Friday's performance:"Greg (Glime) was huge for us behind the plate, and he did a nice job of stopping (Lamar from running) early. We did make some big-time plays. We didn't have to make many great plays today, because Jon (Ringenberg) was down in the zone, Josh (Turley) was down in the zone and they weren't hitting it hard. They had a ton of flyouts, and those are just routine plays. Our pitchers did a good job today of helping the defense out."On whether he'd be able to play another game due to the extreme heat:"Oh yeah. This is my last go-around at this thing. I'll play three (games in a row). We'll be ready to play two tomorrow, for sure."On regaining confidence with the win:"We kind of lost our confidence, especially defensively the other day, but today I think we gained a little of that back. Tomorrow we're going to win our first win and we're going to win our second one, so we're going to have a lot of momentum. We have two of our better arms going (Sunday), so we're going to be coming to play."Baylor junior SP Jon RingenbergOn the effectiveness of changing speeds while pitching against Lamar:"Everytime I go out and throw, that's what I focus on, just being able to spot and throw my fastball in and out and being able to throw my changeup to keep them off-balance. They were an aggressive swinging team today, and that almost worked to my advantage with being able to go out there and throw my changeup to keep them off-balance."On the importance of his Big 12 tournament start last Saturday:"That definitely helped. That's kind of what I worked on the last week, was just keeping the ball down. I did well there and took it into this game knowing that if I keep the ball down, hit my spots and use that changeup, I can get outs like that."On the effectiveness of his changeup when ahead in the count:"I can throw a lot of changeups first pitch. That helps being able to get that first strike with the changeup. Most guys aren't expecting that. It definitely helps if I can get that first strike over to be able to do pretty much anything in the rest of the count."On the key to keeping sharp despite his limited starts:"Really, it's just keeping the ball down. After not throwing for a while, my arm's been feeling pretty good the last few weeks. I think that's really just helped me to be able to keep the ball down and hit my spots. The last two games especially, I really feel I've been able to hit my spots well with both my changeup and my fastball."Lamar Head Coach Jim GilliganOpening statement:"It was a real good ballgame. In contrast to last night, I thought Jonathan (Dziedzic) did a great job for us. They weren't having any good swings on him, only giving up five hits in the first seven innings. Against that ball club that's a real good outing, and he gave us a chance to win. We left one bad pitch up with a man on first and second that they drove into the gap, but that's all the damage they did on him. We had some opportunities we didn't capitalize on, but they did a good job of keeping us off balance for most of the game. We just couldn't get anything going, and when we did it was too late. We had second and third with two outs and we swung at ball four, that hurt us. We competed today, I was proud of the way we competed. Joey (Latulippe) hadn't been swinging the bat during the first part of the season, really turned it on for us and I was glad to see his last at bat today was a home run, and he nailed it. I was pleased with the way we played today, it was a good ball game."On the spirit of the team through the year:"If there is anything you can say about this year's team it's just that. There were several clubs that I saw this year that were in a similar situation and just folded up shop and went home. But we didn't, we stayed after it. When you lose seven in a row it's pretty easy to lose your confidence and go backwards, but we beat some of the better teams in our conference, and on the road, after that. We beat Southeast Louisiana two out of three at our place, and that's tough to do when things are going bad. That's the true test of character for our guys, what you do when you are down. I'm very pleased, I think our guys did as good as they could. Last night we ran into a buzz saw. If we had played real well I think we had a chance to play with them, but we didn't. We had a bad game, and they are a good ball club. Today, I think it was a better matchup. Two good ball clubs going after each other, two good pitching performances, but they won."On Jonathan Dziedzic's posture after he got the final out of the seventh inning:"He looked like a knuckleball walking into the dugout, he had a little wobble to him. That convinced me it was time to pull him."On the team's two runners caught stealing:"One of them was a missed hit and run, and the other one I thought we were safe. But it was a close play. That's not really our style, we don't do a lot of running. All you have to do is look at our stats to figure that out. But we try to steal when we need too, and that one would have been a big one for us. We are pretty vanilla."On giving up runs to Baylor with two outs:"That's hard. The two out walk, a little base hit up the middle, and then a guy drives the ball. He (Joey Latulippe) hit a two out home run though. That's why we play three outs, it's much harder to get that third out than it is the first and second, for some reason. That happens, and I am not going to fault the guys for it. Every now and then you let something get away from you. But it certainly wasn't part of the plan."On next year, and the experience the team will bring with it:"We have a lot of guys coming back, and that should be helpful. But our conference is tough, there are a lot of great players coming back in our conference. It's not going to be a cake walk for us. But I would rather go after teams with guys that are experienced rather than with guys that are inexperienced. As the younger guys got more educated on how the game is supposed to be played, we got a little better this year. I think the experience is going to play a big factor for us next year."Lamar junior C Joey LatulippeOn the team's season:"Throughout the year there were a lot of ups and downs. Our starting third baseman went down during the conference tournament, and we easily could have folded up shop then. But V.J. (Bunner) came in, stepped up and had a good tournament and also extended that to the regional. We had some other minor injuries throughout the year that came into play that could have caused the team to fold it, but it made us better and made us play above our ability."On his ninth inning home run:"I just wanted to extend the game. I was looking for a good pitch, and I got one up that I could drive out of the park, and I did."On Baylor's starter Jon Ringenberg:"I think early on he was throwing a lot of changeups, keeping us off balance. He didn't throw a lot of breaking stuff, just mixing speeds and we couldn't make the early adjustment. He got me in the second inning with a changeup, and I think that pitch kept us off balance. Our hitters have been hot for about a month or so, I think it's the first time in a number of games where we haven't had at least ten (hits). He did a real good job mixing speeds, working in and out, and I have to give him a lot of credit."Lamar freshman SP Jonathan DziedzicOn pitching in the heat:"It was hot, but I couldn't really tell how hot it really was. I can't really blame the heat for the way that I pitched. I did alright, just had one pitch that gave up two runs, and that cost us."On his experience this year:"It was awesome. We won the conference tournament and made it to a regional, I couldn't really ask for more. It's been really fun playing with the seniors that we had on this year's team. I look forward to hopefully repeating this next year."

Marion Jensen talks with Talis
May 5th, 2010 - 2 comments - Posted by sarahb in General News.
In this podcast, Marion Jensen talks with Talis about his recent award from the Talis Incubator fund for Open Education. As former Director of Utah State University's OpenCourse Ware project, Marion followed a number of conferences via Twitter, and became interested in the tool's ability to convey a sense of presence and to tell stories from diverse perspectives. From this, he saw the applicability of Twitter to the study of history through the use of primary materials such as journals from the past. He took the Battle of Gettysburg as a proof of concept using the detailed records of 15 soldiers. The TwHistory project, run entirely by volunteers such as Marion, has attracted much attention from educators and amateur historians. Marion discusses his successful bid for the funding of a website that will help anyone interested in setting up a historical re-enactment, removing the barriers that Twitter currently presents in terms of real-time representation (volunteers currently get up at anti-social hours to post tweets at the appropriate time) and the coordination of multiple Twitter accounts. Looking forward, Marion also explores how he plans to make this initiative sustainable beyond the funding period, and the progress he expects the project to make over the next 3 years.

Methadone Is an Opioid
An opioid is a substance that works by binding to opioid receptors in your brain and gut. Methadone works on opioid receptors, so it is an opioid. Methadone, like other opioids, can dull feelings and relieve pain. Methadone has about the same effects as heroin, except it does not cause initial euphoria after taking, and has less severe side effects as heroin, so it is sometimes used to prevent heroin withdrawal symptoms. Methadone can be also used as an opioid analgesic for chronic pain.
Methadone Is Not an Opiate
Opiates are natural or semi-synthesized opioids derived from opium poppy (a plant). For example, morphine is a natural and heroin is semi-synthesized opiate. Methadone is neither extracted nor synthesized from opium, so it is not an opiate. Methadone is a completely synthetic (man-made) opioid.
So, opiates are one subgroup of opioids, and methadone is an opioid, but not opiate.
Methadone Is a Narcotic
A term narcotic (Gk. narke = sleepiness, numbness) has became a synonym for opioid drugs (legal or illegal). Any opioid that can reach the brain and induce sleepiness is a narcotic, so methadone is a narcotic.
Is Methadone an Opiate Blocker or Antagonist?
The answer is yes and no. When a patient who is on a high-dose methadone maintenance takes heroin, methadone blocks an euphoric effect of heroin, and thus often discourages further heroin use. On the other hand, in the opiate (heroin, morphine) overdose, it is naloxone (like Suboxone) used as an opioid blocker (antagonist) and not methadone.
Methadone is actually an opioid agonist (stimulant) with about the same, but milder effects as heroin, and it blocks only the euphoric effect of heroin.
Is Methadone Legal or Illegal?
Methadone (brand names examples: Diskets, Dolophine, Methadose) is legal only when prescribed by a doctor. It is illegal to buy methadone from non-doctor persons.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) categorizes methadone as a Schedulle II drug; these drugs have a high potential for abuse, but have proved and safe medical use. In the U.S. possesing of non-prescribed methadone may give you 20 years (or more) of prison or $1 million (or more) fine.
In the U.K. and New Zealand, methadone is classified as a Class A drug, and as such illegal, except if prescribed. Methadone possession can get you up to 7 years prison, and supplying or manufacturing can get you life prison.
Examples of other Schedulle II drugs: amphetamine, alphaprodine, cocaine, codeine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, morphine, opium, oxycodone, pentobarbital.

Product Description
Complete Center Console Assembly for all 1967 Mustang Coupes and Fastbacks with an Automatic Transmission.This center console is a great addition to all 1967 Coupes and Fastbacks that did not have a center console stock from the factory. Also this is a great replacement part for Mustangs that had a console in them from the factory as well. As a replacement, this will fit directly in place of the old console, but as an addition you will need to perform some slight modifications for its proper installation.This is a fantastic looking upgrade that will house the radio and shifter while providing an extra compartment for small item storage and even includes an ashtray!
If you are adding this console to a 1967 Mustang with an automatic transmission that did not have a console originally, there are a few things to consider first. If you have factory A/C in your Mustang, the existing floor vent that is connected to the blower sticks out too much to be able to slide the console in the proper place. You will need to modify your vent or source the vent to a different location to allow for its proper function. You may also need to source the stock console radio brackets; a 3 piece set that attaches the console to the dash and holds on to the back of the radio. It is also recommended that you replace your shifter with one that is correct for a car with a center console to avoid clearance and fitment issues.

The console is beautiful looking, but the sliding door light was put on pointing backwards, just lifts up so you can turn it around. And the shift selector light rod was to short, had to make my own. Radio bezel had one hole bigger than the other so my factory radio sat crooked. Just be ready for minor issues. But a great addition the car!

From Katherine Heigl's surprise adoption to the woman who gave birth on Christmas day for the second time in a row (crazy!), don't miss these parenting links from around the web!
The Big 'Blue' Sea
She's done it again!

Read more about the newest mommy-daughter photo (see above!) on Celebrity Baby Scoop.
Katherine Heigl's Surprising Adoption Tale

Read more about the surprising (but totally heartwarming) adoption story on People, and check out other celebs who have adopted here!

December 25th is a big day for most people -- but it's a much bigger day for Monique and Jeremy Houston. Not only did they get married on Christmas Day (2010), but their first son was born on Christmas day a year later (2011). Think that's a crazy coincidence? Today Moms reports the craziest part: their second son was born on Christmas day 2012! Read more crazy birth stories here.
Out with Detergent, In with Drums

Electric-powered compressors are most common and easiest to use in areas with a ready electric supply. Gas-powered compressors are a good choice in areas where electricity is limited or unavailable, but they should not be used in confined or unventilated areas.
|Air Compressor Power Source
|Gas Compressors
Single-stage compressors have one piston that compresses and delivers air to the storage tank. They are suitable for most home users. Two-stage compressors have two pistons that compress and deliver air to the tank. These can store more air in the same space as a single-stage and are much better for commercial uses and shop environments.
|Air Compressor Stages
|Two Stages
Stationary compressors are designed to be bolted in a fixed area and wired directly to a building's electrical circuit, these are ideal for garages and workshops. Portable air compressors are perfect for jobs that require use of air tools like nail guns frequently, such as re-siding your home or building a deck. Pancake compressors are smaller and very easily portable, they're great for inflating and running small tools. Twin tank compressors can store more air so they don't have to run as often.

Endeavour Resolves Work Stoppage At Mexican Mine
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Endeavour Silver Corp. said Wednesday that it has resolved the work stoppage that blocked its management from accessing certain facilities held under lease near the El Cubo mine in Mexico.
The Canadian mining company said the workers involved, who began the blockade on Tuesday, have ended it and agreed to go back to work starting with the Wednesday afternoon shift.
The company said Tuesday that it considered the work stoppage illegal, because no formal complaints had been made against the company and no strike notice had been filed.
Endeavour said that members of its management and the Mexican government met with the non-union workers late Tuesday. Most of their issues related the recent actions by their previous employer, an outsourcing company used by the mine's previous owner, that put their jobs and their accrued benefits at risk.Endeavour said it arranged for another services company to take responsibility for the workers accrued benefits and provide jobs for the workers at some of the leased assets. Endeavor's U.S. shares rose 24 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $9.37 in afternoon trading. They are up 29 percent from a 52-week low of $7.25 set in mid-May.

Blessed Bertold of Mount Carmel
- Bartoldus of Calabria
Soldier who fought in the Crusades and was in Antioch during its siege by Saracens. Following a vision of Christ, Bertold gave up the military life and became a hermit on Mount Carmel, trying to live like Elijah the Prophet. His reputation for holiness spread, other hermits were attacted to the area, including Saint Brocard, and the community gave inspiration for the founding of the Carmelites.

"Loved it!"
I have recommended it to several friends. Cheryl Strayed's bare honesty about her "journey" at this time in her life, is admirable. This book is not just about hiking the PCT. It is about healing, growth and surviving after tragedy. Well done, Cheryl!
All of it.
If you are looking for an outdoorsy story about hiking the PCT, this may not be the book for you. If you are looking for an amazing story of a woman's choice to survive after devastation and the journey she takes to accomplish that goal, this is definitely the book for you.
I loved her honesty about her early family life. It couldn't have been easy to share all of those details. I also enjoyed the detail she included regarding her voice lessons with Lilian-Stiles Allen and the psychology of singing and performing. She is such a gifted person - obviously as a singer and performer, but also as an author. Please let there be a Home Part 2!

Luke Bryan's "Drink A Beer" Becomes Meaningful At His Concerts
February 5, 2014 9:45 AM
June Knight Read More
While Luke Bryan travels across the country making 67 stops all over the U.S., on his "That's My Kind Of Night Tour" his hit song "Drink A Beer" has a whole new feeling for Luke. The singer recently explained in an interview that he's always "able to look through the crowd and see people overwhelmed with emotion by it. That means so much to me, it means that the song is affecting people." Bryan also said that "hearing the song being sung back to him is the highlight of the night for him." Luke Bryan's next show is in Moline, Illinois on Thursday.


text: I've used both but, couldn't tell a diffrence. The BBR is aluminum so it has the advatage of weight. Also the BBr was designed for motocross. With it being aluminum that means it can't handle as much stress. The only problem I see with the BBR is that it is made of a sofer metal. I don't know what the Banke is made of. The Banke was designed for flat track. So there is the possibility of it breaking.

The Tony Awards, always struggling to find a host with Broadway ties who can draw a TV audience, may have found one in mutant superhero and box-office champ Hugh Jackman. According to the New York Post, Tony organizers plan to ask the ''X2: X-Men United'' star to emcee the June 8 ceremony on CBS. They think he's a longshot to say yes, but they do expect him to perform a musical number on the show.
A singing Wolverine? Well, Jackman did win acclaim for his starring role as Curly in the London production of ''Oklahoma!'', which came to Broadway without him and is still running, so he'd probably sing a number from that show. The Aussie actor is set to make his Broadway debut this fall in ''The Boy from Oz,'' a musical about pop composer Peter Allen.
Another big name producers are hoping to book as a performer: Billy Joel. After all, the musical ''Movin' Out,'' with a score consisting of Joel hits, earned 10 nominations this week and is the strongest competitor against ''Hairspray'' for top prizes.

Finally found one after running to three bookstores and spending hours browsing for the both of us. :-) Alex still isn't feeling up to tip-top shape yet, but I'm going to see if I can correct that when I go to see him this evening. I have ways of improving his health... :-) Other than that, not much has been going on. I think I might try to update my website now...I'll let ya know how that goes!

Drinkable art installation proves that modern art connoisseurs know how to party
I enjoy a lot of the modern art I encounter, although I really can't claim that I understand it on a very deep level. To be honest, when I listen to some critic spewing away about the artist's motivation or whatever, the pretense can get thick enough to cut with a knife.
That's why this installation in Dresden Germany by artist Hannes Broecker is so brilliant. Each wall frame is filled with a different adult beverage, and the varying colors create a display that any critic could no doubt wax rhapsodic about for days. The difference here though is that stacked in the middle of the gallery are glasses, and the visitor walks up to the various 'pictures' and fills their glass from a tap on the bottom. By the time the event is over, the frames are empty, although I'm sure the now toasted critics will still find plenty to admire.

Denham is a village and civil parish in the South Buckinghamshire district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is north west of Uxbridge and north of junction 1 of the M40 motorway. Denham contains the Buckinghamshire Golf Club.
The village toponym is derived from the Old English for "homestead in a valley". It was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Deneham.
The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary has a flint and stone Norman tower and Tudor monuments. The tree-lined Village Road includes several old red brick houses with giant wisterias on them, and has been used as a location in British films and television.
Denham Film Studios were near the village.
Housing growth has over the years created new parts to Denham. Modern-day Denham consists of:
- Denham Village, as above; the original settlement
- Denham Garden Village, located to the north of Denham Green Lane - originally built in the 1950s, redeveloped in 2006.
- Denham Green grew up around the shops beside Denham railway station. Alexander Korda's Denham Film Studios (now demolished) used to be sited between the junction of the road to Rickmansworth (A412 North Orbital road) and Moor Hall Road towards Harefield. The site of the studios is now used as a business area named Broadwater Park.
- New Denham grew along the old Oxford Road north-west of Uxbridge, west of the Grand Union Canal
- Higher Denham was built on the site of a First World War army training and transit camp, placed to take advantage of the adjacent Denham Golf Club station. After the War, the camp land was sold off piecemeal for housing, following a similar trend all over Metro-land. Martin-Baker Aircraft Ltd, manufacturers of aircraft ejector seats, have a small factory in Higher Denham
- Tatling End, Denham is on the Oxford Road, west of the junction with the A412, at the top of the hill leading out of the Misbourne Valley
Denham railway station has direct services to London Marylebone and High Wycombe and limited services to Princes Risborough, Aylesbury and Banbury. Connecting services link to Birmingham Snow Hill, Stratford-on-Avon and Kidderminster.
The 331 bus service between Uxbridge and Ruislip stations (operated by First London for London Buses) calls at the Station Parade shops in Denham Green. The 724 Green Line bus service between Harlow and Heathrow passes through Denham Green to Uxbridge and onwards to Heathrow Airport, terminating at the Bus Station at Heathrow Central. The 581 circular bus service provides a link between the various areas of Denham and Uxbridge bus station. The Saturdays-only 582 service links the various Denhams with Iver, Slough and Windsor. The R21 bus service between Uxbridge and Mount Vernon Hospital in Northwood stops twice daily at Denham Station every day except Sunday. This service is run by Red Rose Travel and forms part of a more regular service between Northwood and Maple Cross.
Denham Aerodrome was established during the 1930s[2] and is sited on higher land to the north of the village. It is the base of many private and executive aircraft and helicopters and has several hangars and a hard runway.
InterContinental Hotels Group has its corporate headquarters and European head office in Denham.[3]
Denham Village Infant School, in Cheapside Lane, was the original school for Denham, and has classes for Reception and Years 1 and 2 . The school building dates from 1832 and is listed.[4]
Denham Green E-ACT Primary Academy is located on Nightingale Way, Denham Green. The academy opened in September 2013, replacing the former Tilehouse Combined School, and is for children from ages 4–11 and also offers pre-school services. The school's current leadership team completed an Ofsted inspection shortly before converting to an Academy. Ofsted noted that the school was a Good school with Outstanding features. The academy accepts all children from the Denham area (including Denham Village, Denham Green, Maple Cross, Harefield and North Uxbridge) who wish to attend the school.[5]
The current eastern boundary with the London Borough of Hillingdon is aligned with the Grand Union Canal. A Boundary Commission proposal to reassign to Hillingdon the area of Denham that lies east of the A412 and south of the A40/M40 was not implemented.
Denham is twinned with Denham in Shark Bay, Western Australia.

Buttons on Taskbar stretch to fill entire Taskbar
So i used IOBit Advanced System Care 5 to tweak some settings and apparently I messed something up lol I have reset them to default but it still does the same I have restarted several times, I haven't tried a system restore yet as that sometimes can cause problems beyond what it's worth, but I am willing to do it if it will help!
As you can see from the picture, when I have a single window open the button in the taskbar is stretched to fill the entire taskbar, if I open 2 they each take up 50% of the task bar and so on. I would like to return to normal sized buttons but I have no idea how to go about that!
Thanks in advanced if anyone can help, and PS I hope this isn't a repeat question I used the search function but the only threads I could seem to find were about stretching the taskbar across multiple monitors which is not what this is abut. so sorry for that if this is a common question

Welcome aboard, Charles Darwin Nice name
Advanced System Care 5 makes such a mess is reported earlier, too . First what I am to say you that windows 7 does not need any advanced system care at all . All these programs are not enough able to care windows 7 system. The inbuilt disk cleanup utility and CCleaner is enough for the OS.
Now let us discuss about the fix. If some registry backups are made by Advanced System Care 5 , restore those backups first.
If not fixed yet, follow SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker .
Another idea to fix it may be by applying the System Restore to an earlier date than occurrence of that mess.
If still not fixed, try Taskbar - Change Icon Button Width Size .
At the last point, you can always perform a Repair Install , when no other fixes are working.
Please post back with results

"Monterey Uncorks New Wine Murals to Draw Tourists" "The Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association is hoping that eight new 12-foot-tall wine murals along Highway 101 will lure tourists to this wine-producing region of California. Monterey County boasts a whopping 40,000 acres of vineyards, but until now, travelers along the popular highway between Los Angeles and San Francisco saw little of this booming industry from the road. The murals span a 30-mile stretch along the highway, illustrating Monterey County's wine producing history, depicting key figures in the industry, and pointing out the 35 tasting rooms in the area. In all, nearly 8 million tourists visit Monterey County every year, and while the MCVGA does not track exact numbers of how many of those are there for the wine, Rhonda Motil, executive director of the MCVGA, tells AOL Travel News: 'Having these murals strategically placed along Highway 101 will increase visibility for our wine country immeasurably to millions of travelers. We look forward to increased awareness, foot traffic to wineries, additional wine club members and wine purchases, and to developing relationships with our consumers.' Artists John Cerney and Dong Sun Kim painted the murals with funds from a Rural Business Enterprise Grant under the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The wine region produces world-class wines from Pinot Noirs to signature Chardonnays, according to Koleen Hamblin, spokesperson for the Monterey County CVB. 'The new [Vineyard Ventures Exploration] River Road tasting trail, with 10-plus tasting rooms, has expanded [wine] tasting opportunities, and a cache of hand-crafted small lot wines can also be found in Carmel Valley and beyond,' Hamblin said. Wine lovers can also follow the Coastal Connoisseur Itinerary along the Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea coastline and the Country Charm trip to Carmel Valley."

"Wineries Raise Money for Japan: But Red Cross in Idaho turns down help from local wineries" "Boise, Idaho—When seven Idaho wineries planned a benefit for Japanese earthquake/tsunami relief, they decided to donate a portion of tasting room sales to the American Red Cross. Last week, the Idaho Wine Commission issued a news release to let the public know that weekend purchases from 800-case Bitner Vineyards, Cold Springs Winery (4,000 cases), retailer Coyotes Fine Wines, Davis Creek Cellars (500 cases), Fujishin Family Cellars (500 cases), Indian Creek (Stowe) Winery (4,900-cases) and Snyder Winery (2,500 cases) would result in contributions to Red Cross relief. On Monday, though, Moya Shatz, the commission's executive director, emailed contacts: 'On Friday a press release was sent out prematurely stating that Idaho wineries would be donating a portion of their proceeds to the Red Cross in an effort to support Japan. Per the Red Cross's rules and regulations, they must take extra care when associating themselves with alcohol and firearms. Therefore, wineries will not be able to donate to the Red Cross as businesses.' Meanwhile, vintners in California were planning—and announcing—similar benefit efforts. In the Santa Cruz Mountains, epicenter of the disastrous October 1989 Loma Prieta quake, wineries pledged to donate tasting fees last weekend, including those from Bonny Doon (20,000 cases), Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard (4,000 cases), Silver Mountain Vineyard (4,000 cases), Sones Cellars (2,000 case), Storrs Cellars (12,000 cases), retail center Old Sash Mill and Vine Hill Winery (2,000 cases). Wines & Vines learned of this effort from Cindy Molchany, Boutique Wines Management Co., and asked her if the Red Cross had put up any resistance. Red Cross in California accepts Not at all, she responded. 'I wonder if it is a chapter-specific policy. I received an email over the weekend from the marketing director of the Santa Cruz (Red Cross) chapter, and she seemed elated over the efforts here, and she wanted to see how we could work together to promote it further. If it turns out to actually be the policy of the Red Cross, I'll be shocked. Follow that same thought process, and no school should ever solicit donations from wineries for their fundraisers.' Napa Valley Vintners maintains a similarly warm working relationship with the Napa County Red Cross. The two organizations are among others in the community that are staging an event this coming Sunday afternoon, March 27, at the Napa Valley Opera House to benefit Iwanuma, Napa's sister city in Japan, which was severely damaged in the earthquake. 'Our involvement was to reach out to our 400 members last week for tools to help with relief, by donating financially to the Red Cross, or donating wine for auction or pouring at the event,' NVV's Rex Stults told Wines & Vines. The mid-afternoon event will include a reception, wine, food, a silent auction and performances in the main theater. Both auction proceeds and ticket sales ($35 general, $75 preferred) will support the cause. For details, visit nvoh.org. Frank Lucier, executive director of the Red Cross Napa County chapter, works closely with the wine industry on relief efforts, including events to benefit Haitian earthquake recovery last year. 'The wineries are our biggest supporters,' he said. 'The only restriction on fundraising I know of is gambling, but we can do auctions. The wineries are doing a great job raising money for Japan, where they really need our support.' An unfortunate misunderstanding? Lucier explained that the American Red Cross is organized in 10 regional divisions and put Wines & Vines in touch with Pat Hofmaster, vice president of the West Division, based in Sacramento. When told of the Idaho misfire, Hofmaster expressed consternation. 'That is very unfortunate,' she said. 'We have a close relationship with the wineries here in California. We appreciate and love that support from wineries. I would certainly not turn away that support: Wineries are such a part of our culture and economy.' She explained that Idaho is not part of her territory, but said she had contacted her counterpart in the Northwest to try and clarify the situation there. 'We need to use good judgment in any partnership,' she conceded. The Red Cross, she said, wants to do 'anything we can to work together to enhance our support of the people we serve.' According to Schatz at the Idaho Wine Commission, Christopher Davis at the Boise, Idaho, Red Cross had nixed the local plan. Davis explained: 'I'm just following what I'm advised to do. We are absolutely excited, and embrace the wine industry in showing their support. I'm told we are researching what we can do with them, but we are hesitant to do a per-bottle-sold thing.' He acknowledged, 'The big thing, I think, is that as an emerging area, so we are treading carefully.' According to Abi Weaver, senior communications officer at the American Red Cross, International Services, in Washington, D.C., 'This particular offer was not shared with our national headquarters staff. 'It is true that we do not create partnerships in which a percentage of purchase may motivate consumers to purchase alcohol. However, the America Red Cross would accept a philanthropic contribution, help the company drive public donations from their website with an American Red Cross web banner, or even set up a special fundraising micro-site for the organization,' she concluded.While Schatz did not have any figures for earnings in the Idaho tasting rooms last weekend, she has advised her members just to write personal checks to the Red Cross for the appropriate amounts. Meanwhile, million-case producer J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, San Jose, Calif., is avoiding any conflicts while making it easy for its customers to donate. A message atop the blog page on its website reads: 'Our Thoughts are with Japan. 'Today at J. Lohr, we find ourselves overwhelmed by the devastation following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. As we sit and watch this unfold, we remember how fortunate we've been, but at the same time, we are humbled by the reminder of how fragile and volatile the earth can be. Our hearts go out to our friends in Japan and to the rescuers who are risking their lives to assist these victims. From all of us at J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines—our thoughts are with you.' The entry concludes with an invitation to phone or text 1-800-RED-CROSS to make a $10 donation."

"No Surprise That U.S. Drinks Most Wine Long-term trends led to U.S. passing France as biggest wine market" "Woodside, Calif.—John Fredrikson says it's been seven or eight years since he first projected that the United States would become the No. 1 wine-consuming nation in the world. During 2010, according to the most recent data from Gomberg-Fredrikson & Associates, that prediction became a reality. According to the Gomberg-Fredrikson 2010 Annual Wine Industry Review, the U.S. last year edged out France to become the No. 1 wine-consuming nation on Earth. 'It wasn't a surprise,' Fredrikson told Wines & Vines. 'What was a surprise was that (years ago, when we first made this prediction,) we actually projected faster growth for the American market and a slower decrease in France. What happened was that the French consumption rate went down quicker than projected, and U.S. consumption went at a nice clip, but not as fast as predicted.' Doug Goodwin, vice president of client insights for beer, wine and spirits for Symphony IRI (SIRI), said that during the past five years wine consumption has been 'increasing at an increasing rate, whereas beer sales have been relatively flat, and the spirits market has been soft as well.' What led to record consumption? The fact that Americans drink more wine than any other country is surprising given that annual U.S. consumption stands at just 2.6 gallons per capita. Still, Fredrikson maintains that a variety of factors led the U.S. wine market to this point. For example, during the past three or four decades wine has gradually crossed into the American mainstream to become an acceptable beverage to drink with dinner rather than being reserved for special occasions. Additionally, young people today adopt a penchant for wine at an earlier age—particularly young men, who have traditionally gravitated to beer instead. Fredrikson also adds, 'Today wine is much more approachable than ever before, and it's a dream market for American consumers. The quality is high, and there are many, many discounts around.' According to Goodwin, whose company SIRI tracks check stand sales data, the $11-$14.99 and $15-$19.99 price points are doing exceptionally well. Goodwin says that the month of January is typically the low point for wine sales, but January 2011 showed the highest sales by value in the past five years. Regional associations and individual wineries are making a more demonstrable effort to woo consumers and boost consumption through increased sales. Jeff Meier, winemaker at J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines in Paso Robles, Calif., says that more wineries have been attempting to interact with consumers directly through trade shows, regional promotions and tasting events, which promote the business as a whole. 'Some of the new brands that have popped up have made wine less pretentious and more approachable,' Meier said, 'and it gets more people interested in wine.' Selling wine overseas U.S. wine exports jumped 1.9% by volume (to 47.3 million cases) and 26.6% by value (to $1.14 billion) during 2010, according to the Gomberg-Fredrikson report, which analyzed data from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The European Union imports 38% of total U.S. wine exports by value, while Canada represents the No. 1 single country importing U.S. wine at 27% of total exports by value. Hong Kong, Japan and China lag behind, with 10%, less than 7% and 4%, respectively. With 1 million cases produced annually, according to WinesVinesDATA, J. Lohr is one California winery selling abroad. Meier says the company is distributed in 40 different markets around the world, with Canada being its most significant export partner. Still, one of the keys to the winery's success is thoroughly studying markets before jumping in. 'I would say we're just trying to take care of the customers that we have at this point in time, and not aggressively searching out new business ventures,' Meier said. 'We have our hands very full right now.'"

Arkansas Times
2007 J. Lohr Cuvée Series St. E Red Blend
"In this vintage the blend is pretty much split between the two Cabernets, Franc and Sauvignon. The fruit is thick, with black currant and blackberry (the Sauvignon) and decided cherry and rose petal aromatic notes from the Franc. 'While the Right Bank wines of St.-emilion are usually based on Merlot and Cabernet Franc, we don't feel restricted by varietal percentages in aiming to create a subtle red that emulates what the French are doing there,' explains Meier. 'We're just focusing in on the texture and the complexity of the blend. Part of the 'play' that we were talking about. It's fun.'"

2007 J. Lohr Cuvée Series PAU Red Blend
"That said, Cabernet Sauvignon does dominate the Pauillacinspired PAU that Meier makes (with about six percent of Petit Verdot). The wine is solid and large, with black currant and cassis fruit, violets and blackberry floral notes — all that you'd expect from a Cabernet-based red. It's all there in solid, certain black and red."

"St. Helena's Sacred Ground" "I admire wine writers like Dave Stoneberg, the Star's wine and business editor, who would rather write about the interesting facets of a winemaker's life than the particular flavors of his or her wine. After a two-day crash course at the Symposium for Professional Wine Writers at Meadowood Napa Valley, I realized that a lot of scribes are still learning how to write about wine like Dave. Me, too. Every year I try to review the annual Appellation St. Helena wine tasting at Krug Winery. In past years, I spoke with vintners and tasted their wines, but then tried to rank the wine. My scores continued to rise as the three-hour tasting wore on. Before long everyone was getting scores of 97 and 98 as I was getting gassed. This year, I learned to spit. I also asked the vintners what makes the St. Helena appellation so special. 'The ground has a lot to do with it,' said W. Van Ballentine, whose father, John, started Ballentine Winery in 1933 and gave Deer Park its name. Rich Salvestrin, a third-generation St. Helena winemaker, said it's all about the soil. 'The fruit is at its optimum ripeness because the soil is gravelly and well-drained, so the vines have to work to find available water,' he told me. Dianna Varozza, daughter-in-law of Harold Varozza, said the gravelly soil of the St. Helena appellation injects 'a minerally earthiness in the wine, making it fresh and very fruity.' Since Harold's father bought property here in 1913, Varozza Vineyards has been producing cab for 60 years and petite sirah for 80. Why is the soil gravelly? Robert Biale, who has produced 14 vintages of St. Helena zinfandel over the past 20 years, said the appellation marks the narrowest part of the valley, where the soils that washed down from the mountains created 'a lot of gravel pits.' A lot of zinfandel is grown on gravel, he noted. 'For zin,' said Paul Skinner, owner of Sequum, 'the soils hold the water so you can dry farm with old-vine vineyards.' The soil is so versatile, Skinner said, that a two-acre plot of his grapes supports zinfandel that is dry farmed, cabernet that is irrigated and sirah that is irrigated only when temperatures rise above 100 degrees. But the St. Helena appellation is also famous for warm — not hot — temperatures, said Bob Dye of Charnu Winery. 'St. Helena is the perfect terroir in which to grow cab,' he said. 'Soils from Sulphur Creek are gravelly, and we have warm days and cool nights. We have balanced cabs — St. Helena cabs don't typically slap you in the face, they are a bit more elegant.' Elegant was also how David Sabin of Sabina described wines produced here. 'The St. Helena appellation has a more elegant terroir,' he said. 'Vineyard 29, Grace and Colgin Cellars create a bench that's quite beautiful. It's all in the ground.' Chris Corley, winemaker for Corley Family Napa Valley, said the St. Helena appellation wines are 'lusher and smoother than Rutherford or Yountville.' Doug Stanton, a third-generation St. Helena vintner, said the St. Helena appellation 'has the right amount of heat, so petite sirah does extremely well here.' Sauvignon blanc also does very well in the St. Helena appellation, especially on the east side close to the Napa River, said Steve Lohr, of J. Lohr, founded in 1972 by Steve's father. 'We once planted our 1984 cab too close to the river — it was too vigorous — so it is now planted with sauvignon blanc,' said Lohr. Trinchero Napa Valley is making a petite verdot and a cab franc from St. Helena grapes in honor of Mario and Mary Trinchero, who immigrated from Italy to New York before coming to Napa Valley in 1948. 'The valley floor in St. Helena has bigger berries, not as bitter or tannic,' said Rebecca Fine, marketing director for Trinchero. Vintner Tor Kenward, a St. Helena resident for 30 years, said the origins of St. Helena's soil formed long ago, when 'a big glacier came down on the valley, leaving big rock pits. You have center-cut St. Helena and zinfandel, which says a lot. St. Helena vines have some deep roots. It might be as diverse an appellation as any we have.' He noted that the St. Helena appellation 'has a better canopy — the vines stress out, making a better vineyard.' Steve Goldfarb of Anomaly explained the gravelly soils on the west side of the appellation like this: 'Sulphur Creek got diverted 100 years ago, leaving thousands of years of minerals running through it.' That gravel, coupled with St. Helena's great climate, created an area ideal for all kinds of grapes. Why doesn't St. Helena get as much notoriety for quality as its sibling appellations within the Napa Valley family? 'People think of St. Helena as a town, but it actually is the best property in the valley,' Goldfarb said. The appellation, added Peter Mondavi Jr., ' is in the center of the family tree.' 'Some say it's the best appellation,' said vintner Steve Garvey of Flora Springs. His grandmother, Flora, who recognized the magic hidden beneath the western hills and helped found the Flora Springs Winery in 1978, will be turning 100 this year."
