glHack 1.2-1
Homepage: http://glhack.sourceforge.net/
NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly. Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.
This is the SDL graphical version of Nethack 3.4.3.
glhack_1.2_1_armel.deb ( 1.73MB ) Number of downloads: 211
(Tip: You change change the tile view by editing the value of "tileheight" in ~/.glhackrc. The allowed options are: 16 (the good old small tiles), 32 (nice-looking big tiles) and 64 (fancy isometric 3D tiles.)
Sangband 1.0.0-1 (Final Release)
Homepage: http://www.runegold.org/sangband/
A truly interesting and sophisticated variant of Angband (or "the *bands"). This SDL version features full graphical tiles (8x8, 16x16 and 32x32), sound effects and even background music! My favourite *band (besides Xangband).
To quote from the official page: "There are many ways to die. There are as many ways to win. The choices you make among skills, the plunder from vaults and fallen foes, the objects you forge, your growing tactical prowess - all will shape your adventure. Will you take the Oath of Iron to learn the most powerful warrior arts? Will you stand staunch for the Light - or choose the way of blood and necromancy? A Shadow Paladin, a Mage Engineer, a Loresmith, a Skirmisher - all can topple the Dark Lord from his dark throne."
sangband_1.0.0_1_armel.deb ( 4.71MB ) Number of downloads: 196
(Tip: Turn on grahical (not the default ASCII) mode and sound and music by pressing "=", then "!" (User Interface))

Quasar Media Player 0.9b3-1
Website: http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/softwar...r-media-player/
Description quoting from the program website:
"Quasar Media Player is ... a decent, fast and convenient media player for the Zaurus and other Qt(opia)-based (mobile) systems.
It offers many of the features we've come to appreciate in modern media players on the desktop, like fast library overview and filtering along with the ability to handle large libraries very well.
It adds several unique features that give it unprecedented flexibility on a mobile device, like auto-generated playlists from a set of locations (e.g. adds files from the internal Music directory + from a Media directory on an inserted SD card), a fast location-independent database backend based on SQLite and flexible support and handling of cover art images.
Quasar is highly configurable and can be operated completely via the keyboard or remote control, which makes it more versatile and easier to control than via touchscreen alone."
A screenshot:
Enjoy! (Thanks, eviLjazz!!)

From the Debian package page: http://packages.debian.org/sid/vlc
VLC is the VideoLAN project's media player. It plays MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, mp3, Ogg/Vorbis files, DVDs, VCDs, and multimedia streams from various network sources.
VLC can also be used as a streaming server that duplicates the stream it reads and multicasts them through the network to other clients, or serves them through HTTP.
VLC has support for on-the-fly transcoding of audio and video formats, either for broadcasting purposes or for movie format transformations. Support for most output methods is provided by this package, but features can be added by installing additional audio plugins (vlc-plugin-esd, vlc-plugin-sdl, vlc-plugin-arts) or video plugins (vlc-plugin-sdl, vlc-plugin-ggi, vlc-plugin-glide, vlc-plugin-svgalib). There is also a web browser plugin in the mozilla-plugin-vlc package.
This package seems to be uninstallable in the official feeds, so try these if that is the case.

Homepage: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/
SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters and more.
One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave... don't worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume...

COLUMBUS – The Columbus Crew today announced that it has signed Costa Rican National Team defender Giancarlo (pronounced: JEE-anne-carlo) Gonzalez. The 26-year-old centerback most recently played in Norway's Tippeligaen for two seasons after playing in Costa Rica's Primera League from 2008-2012. Gonzalez will be added to the roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa. Per club and MLS policy, additional terms of the signing were not disclosed.
"Giancarlo is a very experienced, young and promising centerback," said Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter. "He has experience in Europe and international experience with the Costa Rican National Team. He's been a solid starter all through FIFA World Cup Qualifying for Costa Rica and we feel he is going to be a good addition to our team.
"He's dangerous on offensive set pieces and he's a good passer of the ball," continued Berhalter. "He's good in one-v-one tackling and he has leadership qualities. He's proven that he can win with Alajuelense in Costa Rica and with the Costa Rica National Team, so we like all of those qualities."
Gonzalez joins the Black & Gold from Norwegian First Division side Vålerenga where he made 27 appearances and scored three goals over one and a half full seasons. In 2013, Gonzalez made 25 appearances – including 20 starts – and scored three goals in his second season in Norway. Prior to his departure for Norway, Gonzalez played with Alajuelense of Costa Rica's Primera Division and made 57 regular-season appearances and scored six goals from 2009-2012 after joining the club for a portion of the club's 2008-2009 CONCACAF Champions League run. During 2011-2012 CONCACAF Champions League play – Gonzalez's second experience in the tournament – he made six appearances, including an August 25, 2011 Group A match in Carson, California against the LA Galaxy (a 2-0 Galaxy win) and starting defender – and now Crew boss – Gregg Berhalter.
Internationally, Gonzalez has earned 31 total caps for Costa Rica dating back to his debut against Peru in a friendly on October 9, 2010. In total, Gonzalez has scored two goals for his country, including a tally in the May 25, 2012 friendly against Guatemela and the game-winning goal to secure Costa Rica's Copa Centroamericana 1-0 win over Honduras alongside Crew forward and fellow countryman Jairo Arrieta on January 27, 2013. Across his 31 caps, Gonzalez has seen time in 10 friendlies, three CONCACAF Gold Cup matches, four Copa Centroamerica tilts and 14 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. He started in both 2013 FIFA World Cup Qualifier matches against the United States in 2013 (March 27 and September 7) and most recently started in the 2-1 win for Los Ticos over Mexico on October 16, 2013. Gonzalez also represented his country on two occasions at the Under-20 level.
Gonzalez is the latest Black & Gold signing as the club continues its second preseason trip in Florida. MLS clubs are required to be capped at 30 players by the League's roster compliance day of March 1, 2014.
Before the Crew begins the 2014 season at D.C. United on Saturday, March 8, the team continues its preseason preparations. For more information on catching the Black & Gold in 2014 – visit TheCrew.com/tickets. Single-match tickets for all Crew regular-season home games in 2014 are now on sale.

Hydralazine is sometimes used to treat
high blood pressure during pregnancy. It can be given
through a vein (intravenously, or IV) to quickly lower severe high
blood pressure or by mouth as a tablet to control high blood pressure over a
period of time.
Hydralazine relaxes the smooth muscle of
blood vessels. This relaxation causes the blood vessels to widen (dilate),
reducing blood pressure.

All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:

Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
When you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Those of you who have done a similar course before, what was it like? In terms of both the work load and course equipment requirements?
Last year was pretty crazy, lots of all nighters building stupid models or massive A1 tech drawings etc, spending hundreds a week on materials like paper and pencils and card. I dont expect that so much this year but I'm not quite sure, I got a new computer at a few weeks ago, (latest MacBook Air 13" 128GB) and plan to sell my old laptop (HP, i7, 8gb ram 128GB SSD) mainly because of battery performance and portability, and macs are pretty damn nice. I imagine that would have been the biggest expense but what else would I need?
Any general info on what to expect would be nice, I cant wait though :D orientation starts this week but its at Unitec where I studied last year so I know most of the place anyway, was also offered a place at AUT's Bachelor of Computer Science but decided to go with Unitecs Bachelor of Computer Systems because its more abouts computers themselves rather than using them for science and programming which isnt what I want to do, more wanting to go into support, maintenance or networking (I chose the networking options over programming, but we still have a compulsory programming class each week).
Orientation starts Friday with my first programming class on Monday morning. Eeek! Writing my letter of resignation at the moment for my call centre job which only requires 2 days notice anyway, thank god.
Cheers! Sam

text: So you've been dared to rid your kitchen of your microwave. Now what? We're here to help you through this difficult transition from appliance-dependent to good old-fashioned cooking. It might take more than 60 seconds, but we promise these substitutes for your favorite microwave treats are so easy and so much better for you; you'll forget all about old hums-a-lot. Trust us, you won't miss the sound or the rubbery texture, and you definitely won't miss the dreaded splatter situation. Start thinking of what you'll do with all that extra counter space! Popcorn One of our favorite couch snacks, microwave popcorn, contains chemicals that are probably scarier than that horror movie you're watching. With only a large pot with a lid, oil (grapeseed oil works great) and popcorn kernels – you'll be popping in no time. Try seasoning with salt and pepper, chopped fresh herbs, grated Parmesan, and smoked Spanish paprika instead of butter for healthy snack with all the pop! Bon Appetit has a complete tutorial. Heating up leftovers Many of us do cook. We cook so much we even have leftovers. Or we bring home leftovers after dining out. Either way, food from every night of the week can start to pile up, but there's no need to waste. You can quickly heat up food by using the steam from a saucepan with a lid and a little water. Someone's late to dinner? Put a saucepan lid over the food and place the plate on a simmering saucepan of water. It will stay warm without drying up, although the tardy diner may get a cold shoulder. Melted Cheese Everything's better with cheddar! But what if you could make your cheese taste even better? Nachos, quesadillas, and other melted, savory delights may be something you rely on the microwave for. If you slow down a second and cook these creamy snacks on the stove, we guarantee you will never nuke your cheese again. Pair piping hot, never rubbery cheese paired with crisp tortillas or chips make the perfect vehicle for all that oozing goodness. Try these healthy nacho and quesadilla recipes! Frozen Veggies Frozen veggies are a convenient way to avoid prep work and still get the same nutrients, that is, until you zap 'em. So while it's OK to skip the fresh veggies, to get all the vitamins and minerals, don't skimp on the cooking. Here are over 1280 frozen veggie recipes that can all be prepared on your stove top. Mac and Cheese Instant mac and cheese is a comfort food at our finger tips. But there are tons of ways to whip up your own batch without much work, or a microwave. Try Rachael Ray's healthy recipe for mac and cheese. It's YUM-O, takes under 15 and its better for you than the microwave version, so it won't leave with you the mac and cheese blues. Hot Pockets A guilty pleasure in a flaky, crusty sleeve. When microwaved, these little treats turn into fire pockets and often destroy your mouth (and aren't any nicer on your waistline). Why not make yourself something more satisfying and less processed? To fulfill your hot pocket craving, make own homemade calzone. Use refrigerated crescent-shaped dinner rolls and roll out the dough into rectangle. Cut into squares, fill with the pickings of your liking, lightly moisten the edges with water, fold dough over, seal and press with a fork. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve hot (not hot pocket hot) and enjoy. Hot Chocolate On a cold day or a chocolate-craving day, you may go to your microwave to make a little cup of love. You can still use an instant hot chocolate mix, but try warming milk in a double-boiler instead. To really tickle your taste buds, you can get an inexpensive frother and froth the milk. Now that's a real cup of love. Plus, frothing is fun!

Sagrantino: A Grape Emerging from Darkness
There are 1,368 varieties covered in Master of Wine Jancis Robinson's Wine Grapes. Bet you can't try them all.
Note from the author: There are 1,368 varieties covered in Wine Grapes by MW Jancis Robinson, MW Julia Harding, and Dr. Jose Vouillamoz. Bet you can't try them all.
Things got tricky last week.
Monday arrived with the devastating news out of Boston. As a runner with three marathons under my belt, this hit me hard. On Tuesday, the week devolved—not only across the country, but in my personal life: a number of my close friends' relationships and health were spiraling toward disaster, and I found myself mute, overwhelmed and unequipped to help. Then there was the explosion in Texas and all the eerie, unfolding drama on the East Coast.
I sought comfort in three stalwarts of hope: my dog, a recipe for my Italian great grandmother's tomato sugo, and wine.
The wine I pulled out was from a grape called Sagrantino, grown in an area called Montefalco in Italy's Umbria region. To be fair, I opened three of them—because, hey, I had three different bottles on hand and, well... like I said, the week had been trying.
What struck me in reading about Sagrantino was this line in Wine Grapes: "The variety had become almost extinct in the 1960s." Yet here I was with three different bottles at my table, not to mention two others I remembered tasting in the last month. In roughly 50 years, things had turned around completely for Sagrantino, "rescued by Marco Caprai," Wine Grapes explained, "and other local growers who believed in the qualities and potential of this variety."
About those qualities and potential: Sagrantino is one of the most tannic varieties I've ever tasted, with a wild, mouth-drying character (imagine your tongue being coated with fine-grained sandpaper). "When the tannins are well managed," Wine Grapes notes, "the wines are firm but smooth and well suited to oak aging." They also age forever, those tannins holding the other elements—sweet-spicy black cherry and currant, licorice, iodine, cedar, roasted roots and herbs—all upright, in place, unwavering.
I decanted... then double-decanted the wines, trying to mellow them out, since exposure to air tends to open and soften a tightly bound wine. Paired with the rich and meaty sugo, they were still brooding. On day three, I tried the open bottles again. Here, at last, they were attractively agreeable, those jagged edges and fiercely dark fruit faded toward the background while earthy and floral aromas gently smoothed over their edges.
I found this trajectory, along with the Sagrantino's resurrection in the last half a century, wonderfully promising: evidence that rough patches eventually smooth out with time and patience, and that out of the darkness we can catch glimpses of light shining up through the cracks.

text: In collaboration with the Inner Core Committee, MetroFuture Walks & Talks will be hosting an afternoon walk from 3-4:30 pm on June 26 along the Blueback Herring River Route in Somerville. In the fall of 2009 the City of Somerville was awarded a grant by the Massachusetts Environmental Trust to create new opportunities for the community to access and enjoy the Mystic River. One component was to develop a safe pedestrian route from Foss Park to the Blessing of the Bay boathouse called the Blueback Herring River Route. We will gather at the Mystic Activity Center for a brief overview of the project and then we will walk along the 0.6 mile route and back (a total of 1.2 miles). Each participant will receive a copy of the Blueback Herring River Route map as well as a copy of the publication "How to Develop Walking Routes to the Lower Mystic River and its Tributaries: A Tool Kit". Please note that portions of the sidewalks along the route are rough and uneven and may be difficult to navigate in a wheelchair or for people with other mobility difficulties. This event is made possible with funding provided by the Sustainable Communities grant and will take place rain or shine. RSVP here.

If you're looking to purchase Anavar, Pharmacon is one of the suppliers that you will come across.
But are they reliable?
When it comes to black market anabolic steroids, you can never truly be certain of what you're getting.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, there are some quality control steps that users take to minimize their chances of getting fake product.
Below, we're going to cover some of this conventional wisdom regarding anabolic suppliers like Pharmacon.
We're also going to cover Anvarol, a legal, natural alternative to this steroid that can help you boost your performance in the gym without adverse effects.online halkan Buy Anvarol.
murqaha oo aan baruur

Table of Contents
Pharmacon Anavar is one of the many forms of Oxandrolone found in underground steroids circles.
This means that it is not a pharmaceutical grade product. Halkii, it is created in an independent laboratory outside of regulated quality control procedures.
Sidaas, what's it used for?
Considered to be a fairly well-tolerated steroid, Anavar is used by men and women for both bulking and cutting.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, most bodybuilders will tell you that it's best used for cutting due to its ability to preserve lean tissue during a caloric deficit.
Now let's take a look at the Pharmacon store khaas ahaan.
There are two important indicators of a legitimate online supplier that bodybuilders say a buyer should always look out for.
Kuwani waa:
If you look at the Pharmacon labs store, you'll notice that it lacks a PayPal option and possesses encryption.
These are both held to be good signs, as they suggest that it's a trustworthy store.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, the keyword here is "soo jeedin" — you never truly know when it comes to the black market.
What else can be done?
Looking into bodybuilding forums for reliable suppliers is another option.
When looking at Pharmacon steroids reviews from 2017, most of the information available is mixed.
While some people say that they have received good batches, other say they've had bad experiences. Some people even say that they've been outright scammed.
Dhammaadka maalinta, it's hard to get a definitive answer as to whether this is a trustworthy supplier.
And that's normal:
When it comes to purchasing steroids from the black market, quality is hit or miss. Even if the supplier conducts themselves professionally, you could still receive a bunk batch.
But that's not the scariest part:
The scariest part is that you never know what's in these products.
With independent labs operating outside of any legal quality control procedures, you could be putting anything into your body.
Even with safe batches, they're never going to be close in quality to the real thing.
Purchasing underground steroids can increase the chances of side effects and consuming dangerous chemicals.
But it's important to remember that even pharmaceutical grade products can be dangerous.
Just because Anavar is well-tolerated doesn't mean that you're in the clear when it comes to side effects.
Some of them include:
Sida aad u jeeddo, these are no joke, especially when your success in bodybuilding hinges on the health of your body.
For those looking for a healthier and more sustainable way to enhance their performance, consider the alternative option — natural supplements.
Anvarol is a supplement sold by CrazyBulk that is intended to be a natural alternative to Anavar.
Like its synthetic counterpart, it is supposed to be most ideal for cutting, boosting strength, and increasing energy.
Instead of synthetic chemicals, it relies on a natural formulation of wild yam root, whey protein concentrate, triphosphate Adenosine (ATP) and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs).
But don't let the word "dabiiciga ah" scare you away:
CrazyBulk claims that together, these ingredients boost the production of phosphocreatine. And with more of this molecule in your muscles, your body can make ATP faster.
ATP is considered to be the energy currency of life. It's also what your body relies on to get through the longest, most intense workouts.
When used in combination with the right diet and a well-designed workout plan, this supplement is promoted to help you get that defined look that you can only achieve naturally.
This means no water retention and no side effects.
CrazyBulk also guarantees that you'll see results with this product — and all of their others — within just 30 maalmood. If you were skeptical about this product at first, this should be enough to convince you of its effectiveness.
Just look at what people are saying about it:
"Just amray in aan Dufcaddii labaad. Waxaad u baahan doontaa in aad, si aad sidoo kale ka heli kartaa oo kaliya 2 iyo 1 free all at once. Ogaaday isbedel ka dib 2 weeks that the gym alone just wasn't giving me."
"Definitely the best thing I've ever used. My numbers and energy are through the roof."
While underground options like Pharmacon Anavar might be tempting for their low price, you're never going to get the quality that your body deserves.
Think of it like this:
Synthetic drugs might give you fast results, but over time they'll take their toll on your body and end up harming your ability to perform in the gym.
Bodybuilding is something that requires lots of hard work over time, so stop looking at the quick-fixes and invest in natural products that promise sustainable results.

Bronchitis means that the tubes that carry air
to the lungs (the bronchial tubes) are inflamed and
irritated. When this happens, the bronchial tubes swell and produce
mucus. This makes you cough.
There are
two types of bronchitis:
This topic focuses on acute bronchitis. Both children and
adults can get acute bronchitis.
Most healthy people who get acute bronchitis get better without any
problems. But it can be more serious in older adults and children and in people with other health problems, especially lung diseases such as asthma or COPD. Complications can include pneumonia and repeated episodes of severe bronchitis.
Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a
virus. Often a person gets acute bronchitis a few days after having an
upper respiratory tract infection such as a cold or
the flu. Sometimes acute bronchitis is caused by
Acute bronchitis also can be
caused by breathing in things that irritate the bronchial tubes, such as smoke.
It also can happen if a person inhales food or vomit into the lungs.
The most
common symptom of acute bronchitis is a cough that usually is dry and hacking at first.
After a few days, the cough may bring up mucus. You may have a low fever and
feel tired.
Most people get better in 2 to 3
weeks. But some people continue to have a cough for more than 4 weeks.
If your symptoms get worse, such as a high fever, shaking chills, chest or shoulder pain, or shortness of breath, you could have pneumonia. Pneumonia can be serious, so it's important to see a doctor if you feel like you're getting sicker.
Your doctor will ask you about
your symptoms and examine you. This usually gives the doctor enough information
to find out if you have acute bronchitis.
In some cases, you may need a chest
X-ray or other tests to make sure that you don't have pneumonia, whooping cough, or
another lung problem. This is especially true if you've had bronchitis for a few weeks and aren't getting better. More testing also may be needed for babies, older adults, and people who have lung disease (such as asthma or COPD) or other health problems.
Most people can treat symptoms of acute bronchitis
at home and don't need antibiotics or other prescription medicines. (Antibiotics don't help with viral bronchitis. And even bronchitis caused by bacteria will usually go away on its own.)
The following may help you feel better:
If you have signs of bronchitis and have heart or lung disease (such as heart failure, asthma, or COPD) or another serious health problem, talk to your doctor right away. You may need treatment with antibiotics or medicines to help with your breathing. Early treatment may prevent complications, such as pneumonia or repeated episodes of acute bronchitis caused by bacteria.

Curious how the wine barrels are made?
Last Friday the Trinitas Team visited Demptos Cooperage, who produces the oak barrels we use in our Chardonnay program. Will Jamieson, Master Cooper, was kind enough to give us a tour.
Here are a few things that we learned…
It takes almost as long for the barrel to be made as it does most wines. Good oak is air dried. It needs the optimum amount of humidity (too much and it warps, too little it splinters) and heat (too little and it takes longer, too much and it splinters).
American oak is just as good as French oak! True they are different species, and American oak does cost less, but trust us, the quality is the same. American oak is able to produce more staves per log than French as French oak is more porous and delicate. The grain must be followed exactly – it must be hand split, whereas American oak has tighter grain and can be split with less waste (meaning more barrels produced)
Oak harvesting is not detrimental to the environment. Demptos Cooperage (where we toured) gets their American oak from Missouri forests. If you were to fly over them you would see sustainably managed lush greenery – no clear cutting! As oak trees must be fully mature (think 100 years) to use for barrels, the smaller, younger trees are left alone to grow. The trees that are removed are done so in a strategic way to help prevent overgrowth and forest fires as well.
Also ... the room where the barrels are assembled, bent and toasted, smells amazing!
Bonus fun fact: We use almost all new American Oak barrels on our Chardonnay programs. Check out these wines that receive the benefits of these beautiful American Oak barrels:
Pick of the Week: 2010 El Dorado Zinfandel
Zinfandel. A grape of many styles, intriguing history and tons of versatility. I chose the El Dorado Zinfandel as my wine of the week, not just because I hail from the El Dorado/Amador areas, but because it has all three of my red wine "R"'s = rich, robust, and refined. Full bodied with juicy raspberry, black cherry and red currant with nuances of tobacco leaf and a hint of black pepper, it could be paired with sirloin steak, tomato based pasta dishes or even josh rogan. This is my wine when I need a hearty wine with hearty food!
For more on the 2010 El Dorado Zin, visit our online Wine Shop, or stop by the tasting room for a glass!
The Perfect Valentine's Day Dinner
Whether you are cooking for yourself, friends or that special someone, here is a meal that will make any night special!
Fig and gorgonzola salad (Pair with Trinitas 2009 Old Vine Mendocino Zinfandel)
10 black figs but in half

Spinach or Frisée greens
Salt & pepper
Truffle honey (optional)
Preheat broiler or toaster oven.
Place figs on lightly greased baking sheet and broil 4-5" from the heat for 2-6 minutes (keep an eye on the figs, you want them to just start to sizzle but not blacked. The insides should be cool).
Place greens on plate, add figs and sprinkle gorgonzola over both.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle a tiny amount of truffle honey (optional) over the salad.
Vegetarian Lasagna for Meat Lovers (Pair with Trinitas 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon)
(Modified for the vegetarian from a tried and true Northern Italian Style Lasagna with Bologna Meat Sauce recipe my mother has used for years, Original recipe this is based on can be found in the Better Homes and Gardens "Italian Cook Book", 3rd printing, 1984.))
12 ounces lasagna noodles
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese or 1 1/2 cups romano cheese
6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 1/2 cups milk
For the "meat" filling
1 3/4 cups sausage style tofu, crumbled
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped carrot
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup dry white wine (Trinitas Cellars 2011 Carneros Chardonnay)
1/3 cup light cream (optional) or 1/3 cup milk (optional)
In a large saucepan (or Dutch oven) cook tofu until browned (10 minutes).
Add undrained tomatoes, onion, carrot, celery, parsley, tomato paste, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper to tofu. Stir. Stir in wine and ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Cook pasta in boiling water just until tender; drain. Rinse with cool water.
Combine cheeses in bowl.
For the sauce melt butter in saucepan. Stir in flour, pepper, nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add milk; cook and stir until thick and bubbly (don't let burn!).
Arrange a single layer of the pasta in the bottom of a greased 13"x9"x2" baking dish. Spread 1/3 white sauce over noodles. Spread 1/3 Tofu "meat" filling over white sauce. Spread 1/3 cheese over tofu. Repeat layers of pasta, sauce, tofu mix and cheese 2 more times.
Cover with foil and bake at 350degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.
Remove from oven. Let stand 10 minutes and serve.
Chocolate Wine Glasses (Pair with Trinitas 2010 Petite Sirah)
2 wine glasses
1 cup chocolate (I recommend milk or dark to pair with the wine)
In a dutch oven or microwave, slowly melt the chocolate.
Take a clean, dry wine glass and dip the rim of the glass into the melted chocolate.
Place dipped glass (bowl or chocolate side up) in your refrigerator.
Chill until chocolate is set (approx. 15 minutes).
Carefully add wine to glass.
Serve and enjoy kissing off the chocolate "smiles" that occur ;-)
Bon Appetit!
So … is Trinitas Cellars vegetarian/vegan … gluten free?
Many of our members and patrons have recently been asking if we are vegetarian/vegan and/or gluten-free friendly. In short, yes, we are! Please read below for the specifics.
To start, let's give some very basic definitions:
Vegetarian: Someone who does not eat meat. There is really no one type of vegetarian; some are okay with dairy products (lacto), others are okay with eggs (ovo) or consume poultry or fish/shellfish, some are even okay with gelatin (animal byproduct) or rennet (found in cheeses, traditionally an animal byproduct used as a curdling agent) .
Vegan: No animal byproducts at all (ie. honey, leather, silk, wool, gelatin, rennet, white sugar (due to it being filtered with an animal byproduct), etc).
Gluten: Protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and associated grain species, like barley and rye. Wine is fundamentally gluten free, as it is made from grapes. There are two places in winemaking where gluten may be introduced, though neither is usually used in the US of A. The first is the practice of using a flour paste to seal oak barrels. The other is the practice of fining.
Fining: Substances that are usually added at or near the completion of the processing of brewing wine, beer, and various nonalcoholic juice beverages. Their purpose is for removal of organic compounds; to either improve clarity or adjust flavor/aroma. An alternative to using animal products for fining is bentonite, a clay mineral, or gluten.
Isinglass: Substance obtained from fish. It is a form of collagen used primarily for the clarification of wine and beer.
Bentonite: Special type of very fine clay of the aluminum-silicate type used for fining.
Technically speaking all wine contains some degree of contamination of liquefied spiders, bugs, etc, so producing a 100% vegetarian or vegan wine is more or less impossible regardless of the type of fining agents used.
Now that we have covered the technicalities of what means what, let's see what Trinitas Cellars uses:
White Wines: Isinglass from Sea Sturgeon (for fining)
Red Wine 2005 and before: Gelatin (for fining)
Red Wine after 2005 to present: bentonite (for fining)
Barrels: oak barrels without a gluten sealant
So, over the course of our history, Trinitas Cellar has employed various methods to fine our wine. Please note, that when gelatin and isinglass were used in the fining process, we thoroughly filter the wine and any residue is in the parts per trillion. In other words you consume more animal products (insects, arachnids, what have you) each day in processed foods, than you will drink in a few bottles of wine each week.
In the end, Trinitas Cellars is 100% gluten free. We are vegetarian or vegan depending on your point of view.
Also, most of the cheeses for sale in our tasting room are usually vegetarian (rennet free).
All in all, we hope you enjoy our wine!
Note about the writer: Brianna Pickens has been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for 17 years.
HalloWine Pairings
Halloween. Ghosts and goblins, witches and costumes, candy and …. wine? Yes, wine! Halloween isn't just for kids anymore. Whether you are looking to give a new twist to your frightful adult bash or want to liven up your tasting group meeting, try wine and Halloween candy pairings. The options are endless but we've included a a short list of what we are pairing with our current wines.

PITTSBURGH — One in two participants with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA) demonstrated improvements in walking performance after completing a 12-week, community-based Spinning® group cycling program, according to a recent study accepted for presentation at the World Conference for Physical Therapy. Spinning program participants demonstrated significant improvements in preferred gait velocity and reduced gait asymmetry at maximum velocity compared to members of a non-cycling control group.
"We know that the gait abnormalities symptomatic of knee OA can impact mobility and quality of life," says Dr. Kelly Krohn, the study's primary investigator. "Yet research examining the Spinning program's potential to ameliorate these issues had not been previously conducted."
Forty-one volunteers between the ages of 37 and 74 with confirmed knee OA were recruited and randomly assigned to a Spinning program or control groups.
At least twice a week for 12 weeks, the Spinning program subjects participated in supervised classes designed to maximize aerobic fitness while limiting direct knee joint stress. Classes progressed from 40 to 60 minutes and included warm-ups, fast-cadence pedaling, simulated hill-climbs, cool downs and stretching. Control subjects continued their current fitness activities but did not participate in Spinning classes.
The Spinning participants demonstrated greater mean gait velocity and step length differential at maximum velocity, greater mean increase in preferred velocity/cadence and a reduction in step length asymmetry at maximum velocity.
Support for the study came from the Pittsburgh National Corporation Arthritis Research Fund, Mad Dog Athletic Corporation and the Jewish Community Center, Pittsburgh.
