Pacos de Ferreira moved out of the Primeira Liga relegation zone after coming from behind to defeat Vitoria Guimaraes 2-1.
The victory at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques marked just the fifth time this campaign that Jorge Costa's charges have emerged with a maximum haul in Portugal's top flight.
The early indications were that Pacos' poor season would continue as Andre Andre opened the scoring in the 12th minute from the penalty spot, yet the visitors ensured the scores would be level at the break thanks to Bebe's equaliser.
With the game nearing a conclusion it looked as though both teams would have to settle for a share of the spoils, but Sergio Oliveira secured a huge three points for Pacos in the 84th minute.
Pacos now leapfrog Olhanense and Belenenses into 14th position, with the latter two sides in action on Sunday.
Estoril's hopes of playing European football next season were further boosted in a 1-0 triumph over Maritimo at Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 11th minute, with Joao Pedro Galvao notching his sixth goal of the season.
Estoril retain fourth spot, which would be enough to secure UEFA Europa League qualification, while the gap to third-placed Porto and Champions League football is just four points.
Gil Vicente still have to work to do to ensure their Primeira Liga safety following a 2-1 defeat to Rio Ave at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos.
Ruben Ribeiro put the visitors ahead after 20 minutes, and the scores remained the same until half-time.
Hugo Vieira levelled proceedings from the penalty spot for Joao de Deus' men, yet the home side conceded late as Ukra kept his composure to score a spot-kick of his own in the 88th minute.

Matt Damon is getting a Tesla
"I drive a Toyota Prius and I have one of the Lexus hybrids," says Matt. "Next year I'm getting a Tesla Roadster, which I'm very, very excited about. It's an electric car, gets about 250 miles to the charge and is fast as hell! I can't wait to get it. Driving a green car is one of the ways we can all do a little more, so I'm trying to do that."
Matt's new movie, Bourne Ultimatum, opens this weekend and it looks like it will be number one at the box office. It may be the best opening of Matt's career. The first Bourne movie has an amazing car chase in a mini. It's probably one of the best car chases in the history of movies. Ultimatum has a commercial tie in with VW Touareg 2. Check out the video.

Great fuck (the guy taking that big cock seems to be very experienced in taking) but why didn´t they take the shirts off? Would have liked to see them climax both!
Ummmm, what about the ending???????????? Good grief, why did you get off so fast????????????
Couldnt you have taken off your shirts?
But hot stuff though anyway!!
Especially the guy on the bottom!
Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love that guys.. . OMG!!! \r\nskilirt: i want to be in that video too xD
Too bad you let us miss the end. I would love to see how they finish. Perhaps the one on the bottom could have played with the one on top instead of keeping his hands idle on the boys hip, but never the less a great movie. Again, too bad about the open ending.

The present invention relates to a modified wheel for use on ice and particularly, a wheel especially suited for a conversion of figure skates, hockey skates, speed skates, roller skates, in-line skates, bobsleds, ice-boats, or any other use where a conversion to the wheels, as described in this invention, would permit the use of ice, as a surface medium, for locomotion.
In the sports of hockey, speed and figure skating there is a long narrow blade attached lengthwise to the bottom of the boots. While this combination works well for most frequent skaters, many would be skaters find it either uncomfortably difficult or even impossible to support themselves on these two narrow blades. Another disadvantage to using blades is the compromise of decreased mobility, when the ice starts to melt. In bobsledding and ice-boating fixed and steerable blades provide the lateral friction needed for locomotion while they are propelled by gravity and wind respectively.
In the sports of roller skating and in-line skating the skater also provides locomotion by pushing off laterally. Using smooth wheels though prohibits the use of these types of skates on the popular skating surface of ice because of the lack of lateral friction. An advantage of the roller skates is the stability of the wide stance of the wheels whereas the typical in-line skates narrow surface contact gives little support.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,169 a boot with a sole plate supports either wheels or an ice skate runner by the use of a two piece truck assembly. U.S. Pat. No. 4,988,122 separate wheel and runner assemblies are mounted to a boot through the use of tabs and slots. Furthermore the boot can be used without either assembly for walking. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,129,663 an ice blade is attached directly to the axle holes. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,193,827 a rotatable cam is used to interchange the ice blade and wheel assembly. All of the boots require a specialized boot. This invention does not require a specialized boot but is a wheel assembly conversion of an existing boot. These skates use a conversion of wheels to a typical ice skating blade in order to change their function from land to ice skating. This does not address either the problem of stability for the ice skater since there is still the need for ice skaters to support themselves on two narrow blades or the compromise of decreased mobility when the ice starts to melt. Other skates as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,618,158 ("improved roller skate"), 3,693,988 ("two wheeled types of roller skates") and 2,533,277 ("increased durability of roller skates") were specifically designed for use on surfaces such as wood, plastic or asphalt. This invention is not disclosed in any one patent or prior art disclosure. Nor does any combination of one or more prior art patents disclose all the features of this invention. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,699,390 (Cote), 5,048,851 (Alarcon) and 699,904 (White) could not be so combined.
The object of this invention is to provide lateral friction on ice by means of specially designed wheels instead of blades.
Another object of this invention allows the economical dual-use of traditional in-line skates and roller skates on either their current surface use or by using a method that addresses some of the problems associated with previous blade type ice skates that would allow ice as a skating surface. This is accomplished by a simple wheel change to the new wheels, as described in this invention, for use on ice. Then at a time when the skater wishes to skate on a typical surface such as wood, plastic or asphalt they can simply put the original wheels back on. One of the economical benefits of using these wheels is that as children are growing the same wheels as stated in this invention could be used for many years while only having to purchase larger in-line skates or roller skates.
An additional object is option of providing a wider surface contact on ice. This provides more ankle support and eliminates some of the awkwardness of skating thus encouraging more people to skate.
A further object of this invention is by allowing the use of wheels instead of blades or runners, enables the skates to be used on ice in slightly warmer weather due to the rolling action of the wheels.
A still further object is to provide a safer ice skate through the use of wheels which have a tendency to roll over instead of scrape or slice when the skate comes in contact with skin.
To achieve the above mentioned object, there is provided a wheel for use on ice comprising:
of a hub portion and an outer circumferential ice-engaging surface;
of a plurality of circumferential contact surfaces and at least one circumferential relief groove disposed between said contact surfaces;
of said circumferential contact surfaces being configured to reduce the area of contact with the ice and to form a deep enough groove in the ice surface to develop lateral friction between the ice surface and the wheel;
of said wheel being made of a material that is sufficiently harder than ice;
of said circumferential contact surfaces being arranged on said outer circumferential ice-engaging surface of the wheel that at least two of said contact surfaces are in contact with the ice surface when said wheel is perpendicular to the ice and also when said wheel is angled between perpendicular and a predetermined angle from perpendicular to the ice;
of an aperture through the axis of the wheel to accommodate an axle, and a counterbore on each side of said hub portion to accommodate bearing means;
of said circumferential contact surfaces that have a smaller diameter at their axial midpoint than at their axial peripheral edges to reduce the area of contact with the ice surface;
When this wheel is used in conjunction with in-line skates an alternative to separate land and ice skates is achieved. Not only is this combination economical but it creates a safer and very unique way to ice skate. An added bonus is that for infrequent skaters or those with ankle problems an effective and attractive way to offer more support will encourage many would be ice skaters.
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a new wheel, designed for use with an in-line skate boot with a flat and angled outer exterior circumference.
FIG. 1A is a view of the wheel in FIG. 1 as viewed from a point perpendicular to the center of the axis.
FIG. 1B is a side view of the wheel in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1C is a sectional view as designated "section 1C" in FIG. 1B through the center of that wheel.
FIG. 2 shows an exploded isometric view of the new wheel with two bearings, a selflocking nut and an axle for use on an in-line skate.
FIG. 3A is an enlarged view showing a square shaped contact surface of the new wheel partially embedded in the ice to show a simulation of the grooves caused by the wheels.
FIG. 3B is an enlarged view showing a sharp grooved shaped contact surface of the new wheel partially embedded in the ice to show a similation of the grooves caused by the wheels.
FIG. 3C is an enlarged view showing a grooved shaped contact surfaces of the new wheel partially embedded in the ice to show a similation of the grooves caused by the wheels.
FIG. 3D is an enlarged view showing a square grooved shaped contact surfaces of the new wheel partially embedded in the ice to show a similation of the grooves caused by the wheels.
FIG. 4A is an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 4 with the contact surface separated from the ice surface.
FIG. 4B is an enlarged view showing the flat portion of the contact surface of the new wheel in contact with the ice.
FIG. 4C is an enlarged view showing the angled portioned of the contact surface of the new wheel in contact with the ice.
FIG. 5 shows a isometric view of an in-line skate equipped with the new wheels.
FIG. 6 shows a frontal view of a typical in-line skate.
FIG. 7 shows a frontal view of an in-line skate equipped with the new wheels.
FIG. 1 shows one possible configuration of the new wheel (l) with the relief grooves (2), FIG. 1A and FIG. 1C, perpendicular to the axis around the outer exterior circumference. The ice-engaging surface (3) of the wheel (1) should be shaped in such a manner, see FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D for examples, as to reduce the area of contact with the ice (4) so that the pressure forms a deep enough groove (5), FIG. 4A or set of grooves in the ice that along with the sharpened edges enables the development of sufficient lateral friction. FIG. 4A shows an exploded view (16) of FIG. 3C with the contact surface (3), sharpened as in FIG. 3C, suspended above the ice (4) so as to show the groove (5) developed by the wheel (1). FIG. 4A also shows a circumferential contact surface that has a smaller diameter at the axial midpoint (17) than at the axial peripheral edges (18) to reduce the area of contact with the ice surface, also as shown in FIG. 3B, FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D. FIG. 4B shows multiple edges of the wheel (1) making grooves (5) in the ice (4) while the wheel is perpendicular to the ice (4). FIG. 4C shows two edges of the wheel (1) making grooves (5) in the ice (4) while the wheel is at a contact angle (15) of about 65 to 75 degrees to the ice (4). This extra edge in contact with the ice (4) provides the additional lateral friction needed while the skater is pushing off or executing sharp turns. By tilting the skates slightly more to the point that only one edge is in contact with the ice and there is less downward pressure the skater can stop by sliding sideways in the same manner as a hockey skater.
The wheel (1) may have reliefs (6), FIG. 1B, that can serve functions such as weight reduction or esthetic appeal.
The in-line skate (7), FIG. 6, is converted to an in-line roller ice skate (8), FIG. 5, by a simple change from the old wheel (9) to the new wheel (1) as described in this invention. The same axle support bracket (10) is used and to keep the cost of the conversion down the same axles (11), locknuts (12) and bearings (13) can also be used for both wheels (1) (9). The width (14) of the contact surface (3) as shown in FIG. 4B can be designed to be as wide as the wheel (1) for more ankle support.

Notifications | News
A mass notification company is teaming up with education technology vendor Pearson to build functionality that will be accessible in PowerSchool, Pearson's student information system (SIS). Emergency Communications Network (ECN) will be using an application programming interface to embed its Code-ED system into PowerSchool, enabling district users to segment messages based on information maintained in the SIS.
According to ECN Marketing Manager Stephanie Meyers, the integration will "sync data from the school's student information system directly into their Code-ED system. To the user, the integration will be seamless and transparent."
The Code-ED system gives authorized school users "a multimodal approach to notification." Messaging can be sent out via voice messages, emails, and text messages. The new feature will allow customers to reach all or targeted groups within the school community within a single interface. The two companies expect the integration to be completed before the end of the year.
A common use for the system is to deliver alerts about severe weather. Code-ED sends alerts to school administrators in the direct path of a severe thunderstorm, tornado, or flash flood moments after warnings are issued by the National Weather Service.
"We are very excited about this collaboration, as it allows us to enhance our communication tools within PowerSchool," said Pearson Director of Business Development Oliver Wreford. "We believe that uniting Code-ED and PowerSchool will allow us to bring additional student data management and communication capabilities to the student populations served."
Lancaster Central School District in New York and Waseca Public Schools in Minnesota are both school customers that use the Code-ED system.

We have a new wine map of Austria to reflect the changes in the wine law that were announced a few weeks ago:
Click here to read all about the recent changes in the Austrian wine law, and click here to download a pdf of the new map.
Good things are happening in Austria–and they mean changes in the wine law! As of June 14, 2016, a series of updates and revisions to the existing Wine Law of 2009 were passed. The resulting changes are a bit far-reaching, but I'll do my best to simplify them, and present them one concept at a time.
#1: Changes in the appellations of the Burgenland Quality Wine Region: The subregions of Neusiedlersee, Neusiedlersee-Hügelland, Mittelburgenland and Südburgenland have been eliminated. In the future, Qualitätswein produced in these areas will be labeled with the regional appellation of Burgenland.
The only remaining subregions of Burgenland are the four DACs: Neusiedlersee DAC, Leithaberg DAC, Mittelburgenland DAC or Eisenberg DAC.
#2: Change in the name of the Süd-Oststeiermark subregion of Steiermark: The Süd-Oststeiermark subregion of the Steiermark Quality Wine Region will now be known as Vulkanland Steiermark, in homage to its volcanic past.
#3: Planned recognition of outstanding single vineyard sites: Plans are in place to legally designate certain high-quality single vineyards. Once designated as such, a wine may pronounce this designation on the label by the use of the term "Ried" before the name of the vineyard. Ried (plural: Rieden) is a term unique to Austria and is not used in Germany.
#4: Further designations for the Kamptal, Kremstal and Traisental DACs: The wines of Kamptal, Kremstal and Traisental DACs will be further classified according to a three-tier quality ladder, beginning with Regional, and moving up to Village and Single Vineyard wines. Each step "up the ladder" will specify minimum alcohol content as well as other quality indicators.
#5: Changes in the use of the term Ausbruch: The term "Ausbruch" will now be considered synonymous with the term Trockenbeerenauslese, defined as a level of the Prädikat requiring a minimum 30° KMW with the majority of the grapes affected by botrytis. Even more newsworthy is the fact that the term will only be allowed to be used in connection with the wines of the city of Rust, making the term a protected indication for Ruster Ausbruch. No other wines may use the term.
#6: Changes in the laws concerning Austrian Sekt (Sparkling Wine): The new laws set out quality designations and strict regulations for Austrian sparkling with a designation of origin. These wines may be labeled as Austrian Sekt or Österreichischer Qualitätsschaumwein, and must specify one of the following quality terms: Klassik, Reserve, or Grosse Reserve. In the case of Klassik and Reserve wines, the region of origin many not be more specific than "Austria" (Österreich). In the case of Grosse Reserve wines, the region of origin may be a federal state and municipality or part of it and the term geschützte Ursprungsbezeichnung (Protected Designation of Origin) or g.U. Grosse Reserve wines will be allowed to be labeled as a single vineyard (Ried) wine. Each of the quality designations– Klassik, Reserve, and Grosse Reserve–will have an accompanying set of standards as to methods of production, lees aging, alcohol minimums and styles.

On Monday, June 13th, the consejo regulador of the Cava DO held a press conference at a Barcelona landmark– el Palau de la Música Catalana (the Palace of Catalan Music)–to announce to the world their new category of Cava DO wines, Cava de Paraje Calificado (Qualified Single Estate Cava).
This new category of sparkling wines (within the existing Cava DO) is reserved for single-vineyard, estate-produced wines. The intention of the category is to bring prestige to meticulously produced Cava, crafted from grapes from a "smaller area approved especially as extraordinary and unique for its soil and climate conditions."
Wines bearing the seal of Single Estate Cava will need to abide by all of the basic rules of the Cava DO in regards to grape varieties, production methods, sweetness levels and the like, and will have the following more specific qualifications as well:
According to Pedro Bonet, chairman of the Cava Regulatory Board, Single Estate Cava "has been created in order to place cavas at the top of the quality wines pyramid and to do justice to its quality of this sparkling wine." It not yet clear when we may expect to see Cava de Paraje Calificado on the shelf, but when we do, it will certainly be a reason to celebrate. Salud!

DOC watch!
Be alert, all ye students of wine…Italy's 334th DOC region has been proposed! If it is approved, the Friuli DOC (which, just to keep things interesting, will also be known as the Friuli-Venezia Giulia DOC) will be Italy's 334th and Friuli's 10th – as well as the 7th with the word "Friuli" in the name. (Lest we forget, Friuli-Venezia Giulia also has four DOCGs: Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit DOCG, Lison DOCG, Ramandolo DOCG, and Rosazzo DOCG.)
According to the online e-zine "Italian Wine Chronicle," a region-wide DOC has been in the works for Friuli since the 1970s, and is now "almost a reality." The proposal has now entered into a 60-day comment period, after which the Consortium of the Friuli Venezia Giulia DOCs will give their final approval to the new DOC. (After that, of course, will come the [most likely very long] period of waiting for EU approval). However, the Consortium is confident we may soon see Friuli DOC wines, perhaps upon the release of the region's 2016 vintage.
The proposed Friuli DOC would cover all of the area in the southern portion of Friuli-Venezia Giulia; in other words, just about all of the area suitable for viticulture (the northern portion being taken up by the foothills and mountains of the Alps). The new DOC would not impact the existing DOCs, but will instead offer an alternative label as well as the possibility of making regionally-sourced DOC wines.
The Friuli DOC will likely be approved for dry whites, dry reds, and sparkling wines (Traditional Method or tank) from a long list of grape varieties. These styles of wine (as well as frizzante wines, rosés, and dessert wines) are produced in many parts of the region. There will be one style of wine unique to the Friuli DOC, however–the way the rules are written, the new DOC will be allowed to produced sparkling wines using the Ribolla Gialla grape variety (something which is not permitted in any of the existing DOCs or DOCGs in Friuli-Venezia Giulia)1
The wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia are not too well-known internationally, although fans of Italian wine would agree that they are among the most diverse, delicious, and impressive of Italian wines. The region is particularly renowned for its white wines, as well as its traditional orange wines and oxidized wines made from the indigenous Ribolla Gialla grape variety.
For the adventurous, here is some Friuli-Venezia Giulia Wine "not-so-trivia":

Welcome to the World, Lewis-Clark Valley AVA!
This week the TTB approved a new AVA—the Lewis-Clark Valley AVA. The new American Viticultural Area will become official on May 20, 2016.
The Lewis-Clark AVA surrounds the area where the Clearwater River runs into the Snake River—before the Snake River meets the Columbia on its way to the Pacific Ocean. The new AVA, which overlaps Idaho and Washington State, covers portions of Nez Perce, Lewis, Clearwater, and Latah Counties in northern Idaho and Asotin, Garfield, and Whitman Counties in southeastern Washington. This is the third AVA for Idaho, and number 14 for Washington State.
The new AVA covers a total of 479 square miles (306,650 acres)—with about 72% located in Idaho and 28% in Washington State. At the present time, the area is home to three bonded wineries as well as 16 commercial vineyards with a total of 81 acres currently planted to vine, with 50 more acres planned in the next few years.
As part of the approval of this new AVA, the boundary of the 11,370,320-acre Columbia Valley AVA was amended and made smaller by approximately 57,020 acres. This move avoids any overlap of the Lewis-Clark Valley AVA with any other existing AVAs.
The name of the AVA is derived from Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington—two towns that face each other across the Snake River within the boundaries of the region. These towns were named in honor of the famous explorers, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who traveled through this area in the early 1800s.
The topography of the new AVA consists mostly of canyon walls, low plateaus, and bench lands formed by the Snake and Clearwater Rivers. The boundaries of the AVA follow the 1,970 foot (600 meter) contour, with all of the area inside the AVA at an elevation of 1,970 feet or lower. The areas outside of the AVA are significantly cooler and include the Palouse High Prairie to the north, the heavily forested Bitterroot Mountains to the east, the Blue Mountains to the west, and the Craig Mountains (which include the protected area of the Hells Gate State Park) to the south.
There are over 80 different soil types in the area of the new AVA, however, the majority (over 95%) are Mollisols soils—defined as being comprised mainly of decomposed organic matter from the varieties of perennial grasses that grow along the banks of the rivers. The Mollisols soils are mixed with fine-grained, wind-blown particles known as loess soil. The area generally has a thin layer of topsoil due to year of river erosion; this thin layer of topsoil over the bedrock subsurface limits the possible depth of the vine's roots, thus limiting fertility of the soil—which makes it ideal for wine grapes.
For more information, see the Lewis-Clark Valley AVA docket on the TTB website.

Last week the trade board of Burgundy growers and producers (Bourgogne Wine Board—BIVB) announced two new brands—Eminent and Grand Eminent—intended to further define and promote Crémant de Bourgogne. Crémant de Bourgogne, produced under the standards of the Crémant de Bourgogne AOC, accounts for almost 10% of all the wine produced in Burgundy. In 2015, more than 17 million bottles of Crémant de Bourgogne were sold worldwide—with 32% exported.
The Crémant de Bourgogne AOC will not change, and the standards for this high-quality sparkling wine remain as follows:
In addition to the standards of the AOC, the two new brands—Eminent and Grand Eminent—will have more stringent requirements, including the following:

Oregon's Willamette Valley AVA, first established in 1983, just got a little bit bigger. Actually, it just got a teeny-tiny bit bigger, having been expanded by 29 square miles—from approximately 5,360 square miles to approximately 5,389 square miles (even the TTB calls this an approximation). This represents an increase of 0.5%. The TTB approved the rule expanding the AVA on March 3, 2016, and it will become official on April 4th.
The expansion area is located at is southern end of the established AVA. The newly designated areas fill in some of the viticultural "no-man's-land" located between the southern end of the Willamette Valley AVA and the north/northeast boundary of the Umpqua Valley AVA.
While 29 square miles out of a total 5,389 might not sound very significant, it is highly significant to two wineries that own vineyards in newest section of the AVA. These two wineries, King Estate and Iris Vineyards, can now bottle a good deal of their wine under the Willamette Valley AVA—an obvious benefit to the reputation (and likely price point) of the wine.
Interestingly enough, the application for the expansion of the AVA detailed the features of the expansion zone that are similar to the original AVA (whereas most AVA applications only try to differentiate themselves from the surrounding areas). Here is what the author of the petition, Steve Thomson (Executive Vice President of King Estate Winery) had to say about the area:
Topography: The expansion area is, like the established AVA, composed of rolling hills between the Coast Range Mountains (to the west) and the Cascade Mountains (to the east) at elevations ranging from 500 feet to 1,200 feet. By contrast, the region outside the expanded AVA is much more rugged, mountainous, and at higher elevations.
Watershed: The expansion area is located within the watershed of the Willamette and Siuslaw Rivers, as is the established AVA. The region to the south of the expansion area is located in the watershed of the Umpqua River (as is the Umpqua Valley AVA).
Soils: The soils in the expansion area are mainly comprised of the same types of soils found in the established Willamette Valley AVA, including Willakenzie, Dupee, Jory, Bellpine, and Peavine. The area outside of the new boundaries of the AVA is mainly comprised of different soil types (although it does contain some Peavine soils).
Climate: The climate of the expansion area in terms of annual mean temperature, precipitation, and degree days—while slightly cooler than the average of the established Willamette Valley AVA—is much closer to the overall climate of the Willamette Valley AVA than it is to the climate data of the Umpqua Valley AVA or its surrounding areas.
This is a minor adjustment to the boundaries of an existing AVA—even the TTB, in its calculated legalese admits that it is "not a significant regulatory action" and "will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities." However, we are guessing that Iris Vineyards and King Estate will be doing some serious celebrating, and it is always good to have a reason for cheer.
So…we'd like to say "Welcome to the brotherhood of AVAs" to the new 29 square-mile region of the Willamette Valley AVA!

On Wednesday, February 24, 2016, the TTB approved the establishment of the Lamorinda AVA. The Lamorinda AVA is located in Contra Costa County, California, and includes part of the cities of Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda. (California residents might recognize this area as part of the "East Bay.") The new AVA is entirely contained within the San Francisco Bay Area AVA, which is itself entirely contained within the Central Coast AVA.
The new AVA covers a total area of nearly 30,000 acres, much of it encompassed by suburbia, but it is also home to 46 commercial vineyards with a total of 139 acres of vines. According to the original petition (filed on behalf of the Lamorinda Wine Growers Association in 2013), each individual vineyard is small – perhaps 5 acres or less – due to both the citified infrastructure and the hilly terrain. In addition to the established vineyards, there are three larger commercial vineyards at various stages of being planned or established in the area; these might soon add another 130 acres of commercial vineyards to the region. There are currently six wineries operating in the area.
According to the petition, the unique features of the Lamorinda AVA include its soil, topography, and climate:
Note: The name Lamorinda is a portmanteau from the names of the three cities that make up the region: Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda.
Welcome to the world, Lamorinda AVA!

Today, the TTB established the approximately 22,820-acre Los Olivos District viticultural area in Santa Barbara County, California. The new AVA, which becomes "official" on February 22, 2016, is wholly located within the Santa Ynez Valley AVA, and is positioned in the area between the Ballard Canyon AVA (to the west) and the Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA (to the east). The towns of Solvang, Los Olivos, Ballard, and Santa Ynez are within the boundaries of the new AVA.
There are currently 47 commercial vineyards and a total of 1,120 acres of vines within the new AVA. The area is mostly planted to Bordeaux and Rhône varieties, as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. There are 12 bonded wineries in the area, including the Brander Vineyard, Beckmen Vineyards, and Roblar Winery.
Fred Brander of Brander Vineyards spearheaded the effort to get the AVA approved, submitting a revised, 26-page petition in March of 2013. According to the petition, the "distinguishing features" of Los Olivos as compared to the surrounding areas include its topography, soils, and climate:
Soils: The majority of the soils in the Los Olivos AVA are well-drained alluvial soils, mostly fine sandy loam and clay. The soils of the surrounding areas are less fertile, drain faster, and are of a different soil class.
The petition contains a good deal of information in the "name evidence" section, including a connection with the historic Rancho Los Olivos. Additional name evidence cited includes the historic Hotel Los Olivos (now known as Mattei's Tavern) , the Los Olivos Grand Hotel (Fess Parker's Wine Country Inn), the Los Olivos Café and, of course, the connection with the 2004 Academy Award winning movie Sideways.

Today we have a guest post from Mark Rashap, CWE. Mark tells us about the environmental impact of the wine industry, and what can be done to minimize the carbon footprint of wine.
Last year's Paris Climate Conference—COP21—can perhaps best be described as a bumpy ride at best. There were several political sticking points, including financing the reforms needed to combat climate change and holding developing countries to the same standards as developed countries. In the end, the media was left trying to make sense of whether any true progress occurred toward the goal to cap the global average temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius.
This type of global bickering might seem laughable to the small time grape grower, but many in the wine business—from small wineries to regional associations—are attempting to take substantial steps reduce their carbon footprint, and perhaps, by doing so, help the cause of global warming. At the very least, the COP21 got the world talking about and focusing on carbon emissions, so let's do our part and look at what stages of the winemaking process cause green house gases (GHG) and what progressive wineries are doing to combat them.
Starting in the vineyard, we see that the pure act of growing grapes, as well as agriculture in general, has the ability to absorb carbon and GHGs. In 2015, a case study based in several Tasmanian vineyards did an incredible job at targeting the GHGs produced by wine production and recommendations to limit them. They estimated that on average growing grapes produces 1.5 tons of CO2e (carbon equivalents) per hectare per year which is only 1-2% of the emissions of the total wine production. While this is obviously a small percentage of the total GHG production, there are definitely ways to reduce this. The largest culprit by far is the fuel needed to power vineyard equipment such as tractors, sprayers, and plows, which account for 55-90% of total vineyard emissions. Any way to limit the passing of this equipment through the vineyard is the most effective first step and can include: applying fertilizers through the drip irrigation system, sowing low growth grasses in between the rows, allowing animals to graze on these grasses, updating equipment for fuel efficiency, etc.
The next biggest culprit, producing up to 30% of vineyard GHG production, is the electricity needed mostly to power pumps for irrigation. Therefore, vineyard managers must make sure that their pumps are efficient and not wasting water where it is not needed. Additionally, the use of mulches and various organic matter applications that aid in soil moisture retention will reduce reliance on the irrigation pumps. Organic and biodynamic viticulture also avoids the use of inorganic Nitrogen based fertilizer, which can breakdown in the soil and produce Nitrous Oxide, a GHG that is 298 times as harmful as Carbon Dioxide (expressed as 298 CO2e).
During the COP21 climate talks, there was one session focused on wine production with representatives from Fetzer, Concha y Toro, Moët Chandon, Smith Haute Lafitte, and Château Maris. Fetzer pledged to be carbon neutral by 2016. Their facility runs 100% on solar and renewable energy, by way of 75,000 square feet of solar panels on the roof. They are aiming to be zero waste, based on their efforts in composting, super-efficient cleaning systems, and treating waste water.
Packaging and transportation is considered the main contributor to GHGs for the wine industry. As far as packaging, the fabrication of the bottle is the biggest cause of emissions; however, reducing the weight and increasing the percentage of recycled material will limit the impact. In Champagne, the CIVC has introduced a new lighter weight bottle that that almost all wineries have adopted. This change – from 900 g to 835 g; a 7.2% decrease – over an entire region is a substantial reduction; plus, it is cheaper to make and ship but still able to withstand the pressure. As far as bottle closures go, cork has the lowest carbon footprint, about equal to 1 gram CO2 per bottle which edges out the synthetics and screw caps.
A 2007 study published by the American Association of Wine Economists, pegged transportation of finished wine as the greatest GHG contributor and analyzed the carbon footprint for the various methods of shipping. Measured in grams of CO2 per ton of cargo per kilometer traveled, the carbon footprint of the various modes of transport are as follows: 52 for container shipping, 67 for refrigerated container shipping, 200 for trains, 252 for trucks, and 570 for air freight. In essence, there is a sincere environmental cost to 2 day air shipping your next wine club installment. Additionally, many large retailers are buying in bulk from various regions and bottling the wine closer to the market. While the motivation for many of these innovations and choice in shipping is financial cost, there is an environment factor associated.
Despite the tricky politics involved in environmental protection on the worldwide stage, we in the wine business will be glad to know that there is serious progress being made in the industry to identify and improve the carbon footprint and environmental impact of our favorite wines. Shipping will always be a GHG contributor, because we love wine from all over the world and are willing to pay for it. However, better knowledge, innovation, and a commitment to reporting and improving will raise the bar for the entire industry. Santé to that!

Mark has, over the past ten years, been in the wine world in a number of capacities including studying wine management in Buenos Aires, being an assistant winemaker at Nota Bene Cellars in Washington State, founding his own wine brokerage, and working for Texas-based retail giant Spec's as an educator for the staff and public.
In August of 2015, Mark joined the team of the Society of Wine Educators as Marketing Coordinator to foster wine education across the country.

I am experiencing a mildly annoying wifi problem. I share wifi access in a big house and the connection is not ideal, once in a while it would go off (as when someone doing a big download hogging bandwidth), in those times I cannot access the internet even though network-manager shows that I am connected.
That is not my problem, the problem is that after these interruptions Ubuntu (12.04) on my main machine (atheros card) seems to be unable to reconnect (network manager shows that it is connected all the time, just cannot access web) whereas another machine with lubuntu 12.04 reconnects without problem (broadcom card). Moreover, cpu usage spikes after these interruptions and the top command shows that there are some processes called "migration/0" and "migration/1" eating up cpus (around 30%), these processes seem to kick in only when the system is trying to reestablish internet connection. The only way to restore connection and kill the migration processes would be to restart the machine.
Here is the info about the wifi card

Since the launch of Professional Builder's Daily Feed newsletter on June 4, 2014, I have scanned thousands upon thousands of news stories about or related to home building in some way.
For this issue Pat O'Toole, our venerable publisher, asked me to write about the best business models among those home builders in what is often termed the second tier of the industry, or those companies ranked in the top 25 to 100.
From what I gather in my dealings with builders and designers, our industry underutilizes spreadsheets.
Rising demand for residential construction is starting to outpace the number of workers available to do the work, some home builders say.
The NAHB and other organizations are recommending any new immigration law to include a program that opens a legal path for foreign workers to enter the United States when the economy needs them.
Proving copyright infringement of a song, screenplay, or house design typically relies on circumstantial evidence because eyewitnesses or a confession by the defendant are rarely available.
Finding builders full of good people operating with no better than marginal processes is common. So what's that got to do with profit margin? Plenty.
The two trophies most builder sales operations covet are more qualified traffic and more sales. An often-overlooked way to attain both is a well-thought-out and executed participation program for Realtors.
In home building, the customer is rarely right. Wow, I bet you didn't think you would see that statement coming from a customer satisfaction expert; but it is true, and here is why.
William Lyon Homes became the latest home builder looking to cash in on the housing recovery when the company filed on April 9 with the SEC to raise up to $200 million in an initial public offering.
Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Taylor Morrison raised $526 million in its initial public offering of 28.6 million shares. Analysts say interest in the home builder's shares indicates investors' demand to cash in on the nation's housing recovery.
