Russian Wants More Trade
"The decades-long interruption in ties between South Africa and Russia is now history," Mr. Putin said. This is the first trip by a Russian president to the country.
(Russia's Putin, right).
Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged to boost business ties with South Africa on a landmark visit. He said economic ties between the two nations, both with vast mineral and diamond reserves, lagged far behind the political affinity they enjoyed.
"The decades-long interruption in ties between South Africa and Russia is now history," Mr. Putin said. This is the first trip by a Russian president to the country. Moscow once aided South Africa's current leaders.
South Africa's ruling party, the ANC, received military training and financial support from Moscow during its many years of fighting apartheid. But since the party took power 12 years ago, Russian influence has waned.
And the BBC's world affairs correspondent, Peter Biles, says Russia is now conscious of growing Chinese interest in many areas of sub-Saharan Africa.
Mr. Putin held talks on Tuesday with South African President Thabo Mbeki. Dozens of business leaders in his delegation were also expected to meet their South African counterparts during the two-day visit. "We should not only get absorbed in sentimental reminiscences of the past but also get involved in ways to enhance our co-operation in the future," Mr. Putin said.
"We have a lot of catching up to do," he said. "The level of our economic co-operation is totally out of line with the political trust and confidence we've had over recent years. He said Russia and South Africa "are planning big projects worth billions of dollars". Investments being discussed include diamonds, mining and metals. Mr. Putin is being accompanied by some of Russia's most high-profile business leaders.
Two of the world's biggest diamond firms - De Beers of South Africa and Russian company Alrosa - are expected to sign an agreement. Other topics on the agenda of talks between Mr. Mbeki and Mr. Putin include health care and space exploration, which South Africa is keen to become more involved in. Mr. Putin said Russia and South Africa had very similar approaches in foreign policy issues.
Though business ties were the focus of the current visit, the Russian leader said he could not conceal a desire "to see more co-operation in the military sphere". During his state of the nation address in May, President Putin said he wanted relations to improve between Russia and Africa.
Many former ANC activists, including President Mbeki, underwent military training in the Soviet Union. Mr. Putin is expected to be given a tour of the prison on Robben Island where former President Nelson Mandela spent 18 years as a prisoner of the former apartheid regime. The Russian leader is expected to travel to Morocco later this week.

St. Francis (Mountain View, Calif.) ace pitcher Michael Strem (pictured) took the hill this past Wednesday to face Monta Vista in the opening round of the California Interscholastic Federation Central Coast Section Division I playoff. To say Strem pitched a terrific game in the Lancers 2-0 win over No. 16 Monta Vista would be a misstatement of gross proportions.
Strem tossed a perfect game to propel his team to the second round of the playoffs, and even more impressive than being perfect over his 7-innings of work is that the senior hurler only needed 66 pitches in the effort. For all you who have difficulty with math (present company included), that works out to an average of 3.14 pitches per batter, which is as efficient as it is amazing.
According to the Mercury News, Strem struck out eight Monta Vista hitters, and of his 66 pitches thrown, 48 were strikes and 18 were balls, which, perfection aside, is a tremendous strike-to-ball ratio.
St. Francis is off until Saturday when they'll face either Valley Christian or Wilcox in the quarterfinals. My guess is the team will trot Strem out to the pitcher's mound once again, and if he's as half as good in the quarters as he was against Monta Vista, then the Lancers will tap dance into the semifinals.

Disney Studios, once renowned for its feature-length live-action nature films, rebooted its nature-based documentary arm last year with the Disneynature release of the good-looking but underwhelming "Earth," but all is forgiven with its newest entry, "Oceans," which was shot over, in and under the watery wilds of five seas.
Disney might still be best-known as the king of cartoons, but five or six decades ago, the studio was equally renowned for its feature-length live-action nature films, such as the Oscar-winning "Beaver Valley" and the wonderful "Perri," the squirrel-adventure film that nabbed a Golden Bear in Berlin.
Disney rebooted its nature-based documentary arm last year with the Disneynature release of the good-looking but underwhelming "Earth," but all is forgiven with its newest entry, "Oceans," which was shot over, in and under the watery wilds of five seas.
Sure, there are plenty of opportunities to check out films about the ocean and its inhabitants on myriad cable stations. But I don't care how big your home entertainment center is, nothing is going to take the place of a huge movie screen to capture the majesty that this film goes after and gets.
From the first shot of cameras following a dinosaur-like marine iguana floating through the sea, to one of the last scenes, which gives a whole new meaning to the term "swimming with sharks," this film is an awe-inspiring celebration of another world.
We meet creatures down there that are so alien to anything on land (and to most of the sea life we're familiar with), this film could easily pass for science fiction.
There's nothing to do but gawk in wonder at a glowing, pulsating bloom of jellyfish or a bright orange magic-carpet-like blanket octopus. Most viewers will likely gasp or at least say "wow!" at the sight of the delicate leafy sea dragon or the hunting prowess of the mantis shrimp – one truly nasty crustacean.
A big chunk of the film focuses on the fact that it's a fish-eat-fish world down there. But it's not much different when the cameras come up for air, fixing their lenses on hapless sea lions being gobbled down by great white sharks and Orcas, or on frigate birds going after newborn sea turtles as they make a mad dash from the beach to the safety of the water.
There's some entertaining and smartly written narration, delivered in a relaxed, casual manner by Pierce Brosnan. He might offer a bit of biographical information on a certain species of fish, address the variety of underwater life by noting that "down here it's like nature has given everything a try," or state that "anyone who knows the sea will tell you of her power." That last part is a prompt for the film to focus on the habitat instead of the inhabitants. We see gigantic waves crashing onto shore, wrapping around lighthouses, and threatening to swallow small boats and big ships.
When it isn't gazing at or explaining what's down there, "Oceans" shifts, smoothly and without any lecturing, to the environmental side of things. The blue fin tuna is in danger of extinction because of overfishing. Many other sea creatures are getting caught in the huge tuna nets. Satellite images show polluted rivers emptying into oceans. There's mention of rising water temperatures and melting ice floes.
Some parts of the film will make you laugh (slipping and sliding penguins), others will give you the willies (battalions of spider crabs attacking each other, like marauding armies in a Sam Peckinpah film). One jaw-dropping sequence, of a massive blue whale gliding by the camera, is reminiscent of the huge imperial ship in the opening scene of "Star Wars." If in the unlikely event viewer attention starts to drift, thank goodness for an order the directors called for many times: Cue the dolphins!
OCEANS (G) A documentary by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud. Narration by Pierce Brosnan. 3 stars out of 4.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After trailing 4-0 in the seventh inning, the MIT baseball team scored 5 unanswered runs to defeat non-conference opponent Suffolk University 5-4 in an extra-inning thriller Monday on Briggs Field. With the win, the Engineers move to 6-8 on the year, while the loss evens the Rams at 9-9.
Suffolk struck first blood in the top of the third inning. Junior Nick Travelyn led off with a single and advanced to third on a grounder and stolen base. Freshman Chris Stanley picked up an RBI with a single to right field, driving in Travelyn and putting the Rams up 1-0.
In the sixth, Suffolk opened up the lead as senior Rory Gentile started the inning with a single and later slipped to third on a fielding error. Senior Bobby Barrett scored Gentile on a grounder, while classmate Marc Doyle picked up another RBI with one of his four hits on the day. Freshman Jhonneris Mendez slid a grounder through the middle to score a third run for the Rams, giving them a 4-0 lead. Freshman Aric Dama left the mound after the inning, notching 2 strikeouts and 2 walks to accompany his 4 runs (3 earned).
MIT's seventh-inning response began with singles from freshman Ricardo Perez and junior William Blackman. A sacrifice bunt by sophomore Bryan Macomber set up an RBI-grounder for sophomore A.J. Hansborough to narrow the lead to 4-1, breaking a streak of fifteen scoreless runs for the Engineers. Suffolk pitcher Andrew Babb left the game after seven, striking out 2, with 4 walks and 1 earned run.
Columbus Leonard pitched two scoreless innings of relief for the Engineers, allowing only one hit in the seventh and eighth.
Tech's rally continued in the bottom of the eighth when reliever Chris Campbell threw two walks in his first batters faced. Sophomore Charles Kilgore entered the game to break the momentum, but after another walk loaded the bases, Perez doubled to right center, driving two home. Blackman, next at bat, reached on error and brought in the tying run.
As the inning continued, the Engineers had runners on first and third with only one out and the score tied at 4-4. Looking to escape trouble, Suffolk capitalized on an MIT miscue when catcher Mark Annese successfully ran down pinch runner Sean Fannin on third.
The Rams' closer Mendez, who had moved to the mound from third, closed out the inning two batters later, and solid pitching in the ninth took the game to extra innings.
Suffolk managed to get two runners on base in the top of the tenth, but MIT closer Henry Zhu left them stranded.
In the bottom of the inning, junior Ryne Barry came through for the Cardinal and Gray, leading off with a single to right field. Fannin's sacrifice bunt and a single from Blackman pushed Barry to third with one out. In MIT's second walk-off in 4 days, Macomber closed out the game with a shot to right center, bringing home Barry and the 5-4 win.
After two run-less innings, Zhu (2-0) lowered his season ERA to 0.68. Mendez (3-2) was credited with the loss after two innings thrown with 1 strikeout, 1 walk and 1 run.
The Engineers look to pick up their first conference win when they play again on Tuesday, April 6, hosting NEWMAC rival Springfield College. The Rams next travel to Roger Williams College for a non-conference game on Wednesday, April 7. Both games begin at 3:30 p.m.

GoAnywhere director 4.6 released. Find out what's new and improved
Linoma Software places a premium on developing enhancements which streamline Managed File Transfer (MFT) processes for its customers. GoAnywhere DirectorTM version 4.6 is a prime example, adding a wealth of new features that further reduce the effort needed to set up and administer file transfers. This update also includes greater control over file transfer jobs with improved debugging, job queue management, and automatic encryption of files at rest.
Efficient Administration
With version 4.6, batch jobs can now be organized and prioritized within their own custom job queues. For instance, customers can assign a higher priority to certain jobs in order to meet their service level agreements with select trading partners. Jobs can also be executed sequentially using single-threaded job queues to ensure that file transfers occur in the order they were submitted.
Manipulating groups of data is even easier in 4.6. For instance, the values from a database table can be modified to meet a vendor's requirements when written to an XML, CSV, fixed-width, or Microsoft Excel file. In turn, before being imported into a database system, the values in a document can be read and altered to meet the application's requirements.
Additionally, file monitors can be set up to easily scan SFTP, FTP and FTPS servers to execute a project workflow when a new, updated or deleted file is detected. With a step-by-step wizard, you can indicate the folders to scan, the file pattern and the frequency. If no files are found on the targeted server for the time period, GoAnywhere can alert personnel quickly with email notifications.
Greater Control
While GoAnywhere Director makes it easy to build complex file transfer projects, there are occasions when a user needs a deeper level of control and visibility into the steps being performed. This newest release introduces a debugging tool for project workflows. The new debugger allows an administrator to step through tasks and view or modify the value of variables after each task has executed.
One of the more significant enhancements in version 4.6 is the ability to run remote commands on SSH enabled servers. The new "Execute SSH Commands" task allows administrators to pass command parameters using variables, and the output from the command can be directed to the job log or an output file. As an example, this new task can be used to automate software installations, perform upgrades and other admin functions on Linux and UNIX servers.
Improved Security
Security continues to be a top priority for Linoma Software. The release of GoAnywhere Director 4.6 brings with it the ability to set up folders that secure data at rest using automatic AES-256 encryption. This helps to provide compliance with PCI, HIPAA and other strict data security regulations.
A complete list of enhancements can be found in the release notes on the GoAnywhere Director website.

President Truman appointed him U.S. Attorney General in 1945 and to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1949. Clark resigned from the Court in 1967 when his son Ramsey Clark was appointed Attorney General, and afterwards sat on the Courts of Appeal in all eleven U.S. Circuits and in federal district court. An advocate of improved judicial administration, Clark chaired several American Bar Association committees on judicial administration and was the first director of the Federal Judicial Center.

Dear Anne,
On behalf of Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you for the fantastic environmental bags you generously donated for the UP premiere, which launched the inaugural Sydney Children's Film Festival on Saturday, 29 August 2009 at Hoyts, Entertainment Quarter...
Thank you again for your generosity in supporting the launch of the Sydney Children's Film Festival and helping to positively impact on the lives of children and their families right across New South Wales.
Kind regards,
We know consumers seek environmentally friendly options in their packaging and jute is the perfect natural fibre to offer as a shopping bag alternative for independent greengrocers in Brisbane.
After researching suppliers, we found Graham at Albury Enviro Bags to be extremely knowledgeable on this emerging product and his control of the purchase process from proof to delivery was handled with professionalism and ease.
Our 'Fresh Tastes' produce bags have been a hit on the streets of Brisbane and we could not be happier - evidenced by our recent third major order.
Hi Anne,
So sorry to be out of contact. We have been exhibiting at an Expo this week and have been totally consumed by that, as you can imagine. We certainly do still want the 2500 bags via sea. The bags that you have delivered are just wonderful and absolutely perfect for our needs. We are so appreciative of all your hard work in turning them around so quickly. The result you have achieved in such a short space of time is stunning. Thanks so very much. You should receive balance of payment for 600 bags already delivered plus 50% of 2500 bags by sea very soon. I have sent advice to our Accountant to process the payment as soon as possible.
Hi Graham,
Hope you enjoyed your weekend.
I would like to thank you for helping make this job possible. There were a lot of quote changes at the beginning and a tight deadline to work to but we managed to pull it together. The client was so impressed and happy with the job they are looking order more for the future. I will make them aware we can't keep working to this sort of time frame.
Hi Anne,
I received the bags last week and they are absolutely wonderful! The logo is crisp and clear, the base is perfect and the whole look of the bag is excellent. Thank you so much for all your attention to this order, and I will be in contact in a year or so for more bags.
Kind regards
Dear Graham,
I wanted to write to thank you personally for going the extra mile to ensure the bags we ordered from you for the Orange Region Farmers Market arrived in time for the 10 year Birthday celebrations, for the market on Saturday, 14th April.
You truly made my day when I saw your car on the driveway and the bags being delivered in readiness for the following day.
As you saw on the Saturday morning the bags were eagerly taken up by visitors, customers, stallholders and Rotary members and it was indeed very satisfying seeing them in circulation. They continued to be sold during F.O.O.D Week appearing at Farm Gate Tours, F.O.O.D Affair and The Producers Lunch amongst other events and venues.
They look great and Willa Arantz's showcased beautifully on the bags. We are getting great comments not only about the artwork but also the design and quality of the bag and how practical they are, so I also wanted to pass on that feedback to you.
Yours sincerely,

A Los Angeles County resident has been hospitalized with influenza, health officials said Monday.
Early reports from a laboratory confirmed that the person has Influenza A H1N1 and is the first to be admitted this season. The strain is covered by this year's vaccine, along with two or three additional strains that research shows could be common this flu season, said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, director of the L.A. County Department of Public Health.
"While occasional reports of cases and sometimes low levels of influenza can continue throughout the summer and early fall, these recent reports suggest a possible early start to the influenza season in our area," Fielding said. "However, we cannot predict how severe or how mild a flu season will be. We encourage everyone, six months of age or older, to get either the influenza shot or the nasal spray vaccine and to practice basic hygiene, such as hand washing, to prevent the spread of influenza and other respiratory diseases."
The news comes just as the California Department of Public Health issued a statement reminding all Californians that flu shots are available beginning this month.
"Thousands of serious illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths can be prevented if Californians receive a flu vaccine as soon as possible," said Dr. Ron Chapman, state public health director. "We can't predict exactly when flu will arrive, but getting vaccinated now will help you and your family stay healthy when that time comes."
Each year, at least 220,000 people are hospitalized and 24,000 Americans die, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms of the flu include fever, cough, headache and muscle ache within the first three to five days of illness.
The flu reached epidemic levels in the nation last season. For the 2012-13 influenza season, there were 149 pediatric deaths reported, according to the CDC.
For those without health insurance, the county Department of Public Health will begin offering flu vaccinations at the following special community outreach events later in September and October:
— Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks East Valley Adult Center, 5056 Van Nuys Blvd., Van Nuys, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 28.
— Norwalk Arts and Sports Complex, 13000 Clarkdale Ave., Norwalk, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 10.
— Harvard Recreation Center, 1535 W. 62nd Street, Los Angeles, 2-6 p.m. Oct. 24.

Oregon Vineyard Maps: Yamhill-Carlton District
The soils are important at least because of what they lend to their wines. I find that the sedimentary soils give a darker fruit character to the Pinot Noir, as opposed to the red fruit that seems to predominate in the wines from volcanic soils. That's conventional wisdom to some, but heresy to others, including many experienced winemakers, who suggest that red and black fruit flavors reflect degrees of ripeness in wine grapes. Less ripe tending to the red, more ripe to the black. The issues isn't settled, that's for sure.
The Yamhill-Carlton District is elevation-based, so that the AVA begins at the 200 foot elevation rising to 1000 feet. The rationale is that the particular soil types in the AVA are distinguished from the fertile valley bottom soils that are not ideal for growing high quality vinifera grapes. Learn more about the AVA here.
From the western flank, which is just north of the McMinnville AVA, we first find a scattering of coast range vineyards. Are these actually volcanic soils? I'll have to find out. Moving north, we find the large Gran Moraine vineyard of Premier Pacific Vineyards, famous (or infamous) for being an investment of pension money from state workers in California. This is an interesting site, due west of the town of Carlton and immediately next to the well regarded Resonance Vineyard.
To the north, we find another wide scattering of planted sites, some with familiar names, others obscure. Lazy River makes its wine (and I believe is a partner in) the Carlton Winemakers Studio. Elk Cove's Mount Richmond Vineyard has long produced a single vineyard bottling. The Estate Vineyard of Elk Cove is further north, along with the long planted but not always highest quality Kramer Vineyard. To the northeast, notice ADEA, with a small vineyard at low elevation right off Route 47. Also, Elvenglade, perhaps one of the more interesting sites for Pinot Gris. Outside the AVA to the north are the well regarded Patton Valley Vineyards and the isolated but beautiful Cancilla Vineyards of Ken Cancilla, an old acquaintance who's making good wine.
Then to the eastern flank of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. From north to south, the first cluster of sites contains the Beacon Hill Vineyard, a longtime but now former source for Soter, then the patchwork of parcels of Willakenzie Estate, whose name comes from the soil series of ocean sediments this region is known for.
Moving south, there's the Deux Vert Vineyard, notable for some unusual grapes for this area, including syrah. I'm guessing this is a warm microclimate. Then the large Yamhela Vineyard, and to the southeast the very well known Shea Vineyard. You can see that Shea is actually two distinct parcels, which are further broken into numbered blocks that go to specific producers. In Burgundy, Shea might be an entire appellation. Here, it's all one site. But there are some big differences in the blocks. Check out more detail here.
Moving back to the southwest toward the town of Carlton, we find a northwest to southeast ridge with some of the most attractive sites in the whole AVA. Near the town of Yamhill, there's the Blackburn Road corridor, with the long planted Wahle Vineyard, where I got grapes for my homemade wine in 2006. Also, Stag Hollow and at the east end of the road, Ken Wright's estate Savoya Vineyard. This is a nice neighborhood for Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir. To the south, there's the beautiful slope of Belle Pente and a few sites of Lemelson, anchored by the Stermer Vineyard.
Finally, due west of the Dundee Hills AVA, there are sites like Mineral Springs -- Soter's new estate vineyard -- Abbott's Claim, Bayliss, Monks Gate, all the way down to the Anne Amie Estate Vineyard almost on the border of the town of Lafayette.
Next, the Eola-Amity Hills.

Oregon vineyard maps, part 3.2: Ribbon Ridge
Looking at the Chehalem Mountains AVA map, you might wonder why Ribbon Ridge is a separate AVA. The federal ruling that established Ribbon Ridge as its own AVA can tell you more about that than I can. In short, its sedimentary soils are geologically different from the more volcanic Chehalem Mountains. Also, dramatic topography separates Ribbon Ridge from the Yamhill-Carlton district to the west, though the soils are more similar between those two AVAs.
Ribbon Ridge is described as an "island" on the AVA ruling document, and looking closely on this map you can see that. From Ayers Creek to the north and Dopp Creek to the east, then down to the Chehalem Creek to the west and south, Ribbon Ridge really does stand out. The effect is to create a bit of a rain and wind shadow (if that's a term) that allows the region to be a bit warmer, drier and less foggy than some surrounding areas.
The paved entrance to the AVA from the south is Lewis Rogers Lane, not marked on the map but running north from North Valley Road between Dopp Road to the east and the gravel and dirt Ribbon Ridge Road to the west. The map shows Armstrong Vineyard on the right but doesn't show the newly planted Ackerman Vineyard just to the north.
Further up, the road bends left at Ayers Vineyard, then right at Brick House, one of the most recognized names in this area. Also in this area is the Ribbon Ridge Estate vineyard of Aramenta Cellars and their Looney Vineyard, leased to Archery Summit in the Dundee Hills.
A bit further on, Lewis Rogers Lane intersects with Ribbon Ridge Road, which climbs higher into the AVA. There's the new Trisaetum Vineyard on the left, then Redman and Styring before you reach Chehalem winery's well known Ridgecrest Vineyard.
The far west end of Ribbon Ridge isn't accessible up this way, but has some highly regarded sites. From North Valley Road, there's Patty Green's Estate vineyard, the old Autumn Wind property. Also you find The Beaux Freres Vineyard, Whistling Ridge Vineyard, The Upper Terrace of Beaux Freres, and something I didn't know about until seeing this map -- Bryce Vineyard, no doubt from the late, great Bryce Bagnall who's eponymous label carries on without him.
Next time, the Yamhill-Carlton district.

Oregon vineyard maps, part 3: Chehalem Mountains
When you look over this large area, a few things become clear. First, there are two American Viticultural Areas detailed here,
The Chehalem Mountains AVA begins in the south with
Other vineyards that catch my eye are J.K. Carriere, the very high quality label produced by Jim Prosser, and Carabella vineyard, a label I've never tried but one I notice more and more I notice in others' bottlings, such as Dedaleus. Before seeing this map, I didn't know that Lemelson, over in the Yamhill-Carlton district, has the Chestnut Hill Vineyard here.
Moving north, the next subregion is, for lack of a better term, the
If you take the
Now to the west, along
Then along
The rest of Chehalem Mountains is the more remote northern area, truly the most sprawling. From the east, there are sites made notable by Siduri wines in
The rest of that northern area of the AVA is sporadically planted, with some small Ponzi vineyards, Gypsy Dancer from the former owners of Archery Summit in the Dundee Hills, and a few others I honestly have never heard of. Beyond the AVA boundaries to the northeast, you'll also notice a few sites from Cooper Mountain Vineyards, and the original Ponzi Estate Vineyard, just outside of
Next time, a closer look at Ribbon Ridge.

Oregon vineyard maps, part two: McMinnville
Hannelore Buckenmeyer of the Oregon Wine Board saw the post and filled me in on some details about the map project. Buckenmeyer wrote to tell me that the OWB "partnered with The Map Store to produce these AVA maps."
Buckenmeyer responded to the fact that some vineyards, including older, prominent plantings, are missing from the maps. She wrote, "The OWB conducted meetings and workshops, sent out email and direct mail, and worked with regional winery organizations to encourage participation. However, as you noted, some people either didn't hear about the project or decided not to participate."
Interesting. I'm inclined to contact at least a few of these vineyards and get them on board. Is there a cost to participate? Are there other concerns that kept a few owners from participating? Perhaps, but I can't help thinking that so many vineyards participated that those few who didn't are really the ones missing out.
Jordan Thomas, who wrote to say that she worked on the production of these maps, echoed something I heard from Buckenmeyer. Thomas wrote that these maps are "a work in progress," and that they'll be updated on an annual basis.
Perhaps best of all, Thomas provided a link to a Google Earth-based application where you can see The Map Store's "entire database of vineyard and winery information in 3D." Check it out here.
Special thanks to Buckenmeyer and the OWB for providing me some samples of the maps. They are gorgeous, very informative, and worth framing. I have no financial interest here, but if you like Oregon wine and like maps, buy these maps.
With that in mind, a few words about the McMinnville AVA map. This emerging district has fewer sites planted than any other local AVA, all to the southwest of the town that gives the district its name.
Vineyards in this district are exclusively on the largely volcanic soils of the foothills of the coast range. The hills run southwest to northeast, with lots of south, west and east exposures. The key issue here for viticulture are the winds from the Van Duzer corridor to the west, a low gap through the coast range that allows cool winds to blow. That and some moderate to high elevation make for a cool growing climate, more beneficial in warmer years. With their usually high acids, wines from this district never lack color. The pinot noir wines here often have beautiful aromas if not always the fleshiest of textures, which is ideal for those who like a bit more structure in their wines.
Despite its relatively small size, there are a few exceptional vineyards in the McMinnville district. Meredith Mitchell was planted in 1988 on own-rooted Pommard clone and is bottled by a number of high quality producers. Momtazi is a large (and growing) planting of the Maysara winery and is bottled by many other producers. Hyland vineyard, one of the oldest plantings in Oregon, was recently sold to the Northwest Wine Co. led by Laurent Montalieu. I'm not sure if these grapes will continue to go to old clients, but I hope so. Hyland particularly has some prized old riesling vines.
If you're want this and other maps, here's the link to Sonoma-based The Map Store's Oregon AVA Maps page. I'll write more about the other AVAs in the coming days.

Oregon vineyard maps, part one: Dundee Hills
My passion (perhaps fetish) comes in handy with my interest in wine. Many wine lovers enjoy looking at maps of their favorite regions. The bible of this pursuit has long been Johnson's - and now Robinson's - World Atlas of Wine. If you like wine and maps and you don't have this book, get it.
However, as great as that book is, beyond Burgundy and a few other selected areas, you simply don't get much in the way of vineyard definition in the maps. Rather, you get regional distinction of where one general town or even sub-region of an appellation lies in relation to another. Chianti Ruffina is here, Chianti Colli-Sensi is there, and hey, I can see some specific and usually accurate locations of some of my favorite producers. That's cool, but not enough.
Things are particularly difficult when you try to see maps of the AVAs and individual vineyards of, say, Oregon, up close and personal as it were.
Well those days are over. After much searching, I've found online maps of Oregon vineyards by AVA that are among the best I've ever seen.
Fans of Oregon wine have long known about the vineyard map of Yamhill County, which is pretty cool if out of date. Same too with the old Eola Hills map I've linked to on this site for a while. There's a new one that's better, but still limited.
Then there are the maps at The Map Store. I haven't even searched through the whole site. I imagine there are terrific things from other locales. I'm simply too focused on Oregon, so far.
Case in point, the Dundee Hills. The AVA, or appellation, where it all started for Oregon pinot noir. Check out the free Dundee Hills map (you'll need adobe acrobat to view it). It's not a big map, but you can zoom in for terrific detail.
There's the elusive Thomas vineyard in the northwest corner of the boundary. And the Anderson Family vineyard in the northeast. Or the Oracle vineyard that I believe is fully owned by Westry.
No map is perfect, and there are glaring errors or omissions that do make purchasing larger copies of these maps a bit questionable. Where's Abbey Ridge? It should be just south of Oracle. Not there. Where's Maresh? Between Knudsen and Arcus. But again, not on this map.
It's strange, I admit. These maps are so good, yet have a few glaring, GLARING, errors. Nevertheless, with the topo lines and the otherwise fantastic detail, these maps are terrific resources for Oregon wine geeks.
In the near future, I'll post on the other AVAs covered by the Map Store. Even with the flaws, the maps are worthwhile. Let me know if you find any issues that I haven't seen or mentioned here.

Terrific Spanish Bubbly
You may recognize the name Segura Viudas from their ubiquitous budget brut that I wrote about a few months ago. At least I think I wrote about it. Where's that post? Anyway, that wine is usually $8 or less and is a nice buy in cheap bubbly. It's a definite step up to its parent company's Frexinet bottlings.
The Brut Reserva Heredad is the fanciest bottling, and it comes in a peculiar bottle.
Yes, that's pewter around the bottom and stuck on the middle. Not exactly eco-friendly disposable packaging. How am I supposed to recycle this?
According to marketing literature I see online, the pewter keeps the wine chilled. I don't think so, and judging by the "hand blown" bottle claim (then why's there a seam in the glass?), I wouldn't exactly trust what I read from the producer.
But it's in the glass that counts, right? And this wine delivers. It has a pale greenish gold color, with a fragrant aroma of green apples, biscuits and mushrooms. The flavors are at once rich and lean, with nice length and lots of detail amid the somewhat loud flavor profile. Can I wine be obvious and subtle at once?
The grapes here are macabeo and parellada, which normally give a very fruit-driven wine. Here, better source material and perhaps some bottle age really do lend a more Champagne-like sense to the wine. Very nice stuff, and a good value around $20 if you can get around the pewter.

Never be without nano again.
Our friends at the Woodrow Wilson Center's Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN) recently unveiled an iPhone application version of their Consumer Products Inventory.
Launched in 2006, the inventory catalogs manufacturer-identified nanotechnology-based consumer products, letting you browse by category, country of origin, manufacturer, or search for a specific product. Note the surprisingly large number of products in the "pets" category. They also have an interesting analysis of the products in the inventory.
The iPhone app, findNano, lets users to browse the inventory from their phone, determine if a product is nanotechnology-enabled, and submit new nanotech products to be included in inventory updates. Download it for free from the Apple store or at nanotechproject.org/iphone.
A chart of the number of products in the inventory, grouped by category. The grey bars represent products in the inventory when it was released in March 2006, the orange bars represent products in the inventory as of August 25th.

SIM cards can have their data protected by a PIN, or Personal Identification Number. If a user has enabled the PIN on their SIM card, the SIM will remain locked until the PIN is properly entered. Some phones provide the option of using a second PIN, or PIN2, to further protect data. If a user incorrectly enters their PIN number multiple times, the phone may request a PUK, or Personal Unblocking Key. The number of times a PIN must be incorrectly entered before the phone requests the PUK will vary from phone to phone. Once a phone requests a PUK, the SIM will remain locked until the PUK is correctly entered. The PUK must be obtained from the SIM's network provider. If a PUK is incorrectly entered 10 times the SIM will become permanently locked and the user must purchase a new SIM card in order to use the phone. In some cases the phone will request a PUK2 before it permanently locks the SIM card.

Last night, my daughter Lexie and I had a truly "all-acoustic" gig, in which there was completely no sound reinforcement at all; no mics, no P.A., no amplifiers, nothing, and it still ending up sounding so nice that you could hear a whisper, and the most subtle of notes from my guitar. I guess this is what they try to achieve in those great concert halls from a sound perspective. I can recall playing at the Tyrone Guthrie theater in Minnesota with Eric Andersen in the '70s, and it was reputed to have this same kind of "you can hear a pin drop" kind of natural sound there, and in fact, we have even played there completely devoid of any amplification back then!
I suddenly realized last night that everything I was "projecting" was all due to having a great set of fingernails at the moment, and also using my flat pick judiciously. At one point I turned to Lexie and said "man, I am really having to play hard!", but then realized later that the sound where we were projecting, under this kind of gazebo-like structure, was also allowed to be heard when we were whisper-quiet too! I was literally able to play some of the most subtle things possible on an acoustic guitar, and have them heard perfectly. Yes, we were aided by the fact that many of the listeners were very focused and quite, but we still did have a few crazily screaming children in the background as well. (Nothing you can do about that one!)
Still all in all, it sure made me thankful for those strong nails of mine, and for a good use of the old standby, the good old flat pick! I even found that the sound was so clear and nice that I was able sometimes to fall back on using just my nails like a flat pick, which is how I played for many years as a finger-style player, long before I allowed myself to hold that little foreign object in my hand!
So I suppose the moral of this story is that even though I was scared stiff about not having any amplification for an "acoustic" gig, it turned out that the sound was totally perfect (a rarity!) and whether they know it or not, the porch at the Harbor View Hotel has literally perfect acoustics! Amazing how these things can sometimes just work out perfectly! I even remember pointing out how the gazebo/rotunda over our heads was literally shaped just like a speaker cone! I guess that's why it worked so well…would be a great place to record, too! Good luck on your acoustic journey!
