I saw this new training product called Infinitii that is supposed to help you earn $355 per day and more with a copy paste easy system!
I bet you got here when you searched for the question right? Is Infinitii a scam or legit way to make $355 a day and more?
I'll be straight up honest with you in this review, because I never promote any of these products! You won't have to worry about me lying to you just to sell you the product or service that I am reviewing! Pretty good gig huh?
My aim is to offer nothing but a free and honest breakdown of what is being reviewed and my final opinion of the product. So if you are ready let's jump in and see what kind of opportunity awaits with Infinitii !
I have been online helping people just like yourself learn how to earn passive income the right way and telling people about the program I used to get started online for Free ! If you would like you can click the link to learn more!
What is Infinitii ?
Infinitii is a training and copy/ paste system that allows its users to generate sales and earn $355 per day or more according to the case study that comes with the system. These sales are for products that people are already searching for, so there is no prerequisite for traffic and you never have to ship or even see anything!
- Product/ Service- Infinitii
- Owners- Jason Fulton, Mosh Bari
- Price- $12.95 + upsells
- Recommended? No (But not bad training for $12.95!)
Jason Fulton and Mosh Bari have been around for quite a while and I have reviewed some of their other products and services. One thing I have taken away be that the products that they sell for making money online are never scams! Yes you heard that right!
I call it like I see it and tell the truth because your trust is far too important to me than to lie to you!
I have purchased and reviewed several of the products from Jason Fulton And Mosh Bari and everything I have reviewed was a legitimate product and offered some level of value for the money spent!
I will also disclose that I have never purchased any of the up sells. It's best to maintain honesty!
The purchases I have made have all been the main front end offers. Another thing I will tell you be that the up sells are usually needed to actually make the product work and generate the amounts of money they claim, but once again I cannot say that as the absolute truth because I have never purchased the up sells!
First Impressions- The sales video!
Look I'm not going to lie to you here! The sales video is kind of like all the other sales videos in the make money online niche, and quite unbelievable !
The biggest turn off for me is the amounts of money that is claimed to be made in the sales videos! I have used several of the products as resources and tools for doing my main thing online, but I have never devoted myself to over a couple of days to render a decision.
It takes time, effort and patience to make money and earn passive income online! I know this for a fact because that is exactly what I do as an affiliate marketer! To say that you can get started today and be making $355 per day in the next 30 minutes is a big red flag for me!
In these products and services the free traffic that they tell you that they will train you to use is almost always Facebook Groups and other social media platforms. They just leave out the part about having a following before you can get good traffic!
I decided that there is enough info here to say that this product is not a scam, and offers some value, even though I didn't purchase the product. I have seen and reviewed multiple products by Jason Fulton and Mosh Bari, and have yet to find a scam.
I'm not crazy about products that make huge earnings claims, but other than that I believe that Infinitii is likely a decent product!
I never buy the up sells because I only get requests for reviews on the main product. If I were to ever purchase an up sell on one of these types of products,it would likely be from Jason and Mosh!
Check out the exact step by step training that I used to get started and earn passive income online! Click the image below to learn more! There is no Email required for this link !
What constitutes a scam?
A scam is anything that is promoted by a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation according to Webster's dictionary!
The reason that I didn't purchase this product be that I saw the same types of verbiage and promotion in the sales video and sales page that I have seen in many of the other offers I have bought from Mr. Fulton and Mr. Bari. These men are not scammers, but the main products they sell are low end and you won't succeed with them without more dedication than 10 minutes per day in my opinion.
There is always value and the products do have some good information in them! To be honest Infinitii and the other main offers from these two men come from the Warrior Plus marketplace and are only $12.95. It's very much worth the cost to buy it and investigate for yourself. In fact that is what I recommend you do.
To get an idea of what I look for in an honest review, I have posted links to several that I have purchased and reviewed. Some of the ones listed are by Mr. Fulton and Mr. Bari.
There are far better ways to earn passive income!
Most products that teach how to make money online are based around Affiliate Marketing, and certain ways to promote affiliate offers.
The problem be that they all make it sound far easier than it is and they either neglect discussion of traffic or portray traffic to be easy to acquire. Traffic is actually the difficult part of online income with Affiliate Marketing, Drop Shipping or any other avenue that you choose!
The recommendation I always give is the same and always will be because it is the exact way I got started and I am positive that its the real deal!
I made up my mind that I will only promote products or services that I use and believe in! I don't want to risk the trust I have with my readers due to promoting low quality products and scams. The list of products and services that I promote is short! In fact this list consists solely of necassary and needed products and services that I use.
The list is short:
My honest recommendation
Earning money with passive income takes some time, effort and patience.
If you have the correct mindset, you can be very successful with internet marketing, but it has to be done the right way! That way has nothing to do with get-rich-quick schemes !
No one has ever built a successful business and earned substantial amounts of passive income with 10 minutes per day! It takes effort!
The key to success is to pick the niche that you want to promote to, and learn as much as you can about that niche. You don't have to be an expert, but you have to know more than the person that is asking or has a need.
Once you have chosen a niche you are there to help them with their problem or pain point. The content such as blog posts, Videos, Podcasts, social media or other platforms has to address a need and then you can use relevant products to promote within that content that will help.
For instance if someone is into sewing and they are looking up reviews for a new sewing machine, you are helping them with your review of the latest, greatest, or most budget friendly sewing machine.
That is where my first recommendation comes in!
I joined Wealthy Affiliate and started learning about Affiliate marketing and all the platforms, integrations and ways to be successful, and I started with no credit card because its free!
That is an important part of my recommendation because I know that there are a lot of people who want to change their lives by escaping the rat race, pulling themselves out of poverty and achieving freedom in their lives that don't have the budget to drop money on something that they aren't sure about! Wealthy Affiliate bridges that gap, by offering a way to get started for free!
If you would like to learn more about Wealthy Affiliate and how you can get your free account, click on the button below. I won't ask you for an E mail or anything like that to Learn about what Wealthy Affiliate is and what it will help you with. That is my niche! Helping people escape the rat race and poverty with online income!
Let me first say thank you for taking your valuable time to read my review of Infinitii. We have determined that although it is not my recommendation, it is still very affordable and you can check it out for yourself. I feel that the time and effort that is required is far more than 10 minutes per day like they said in the sales video, and they make it sound far too simple.
I also extended an invitation to learn more about the all-inclusive training, support and community at Wealthy Affiliate.
The most important thing be that if you don't try Wealthy Affiliate, that whatever you do go in with the mindset that you will put in the time, effort and patience needed to succeed!
It is also a great idea to start a policy that you only promote products and services that you believe in! Trust is a fragile thing and once its lost it is difficult or impossible to re-establish trust.
Thank you again! I f you have any comments , questions or suggestions, I would absolutely love to hear from you by putting your feedback in the comments below. Your feedback greatly helps me to better serve my readers!
Have a blessed and wonderful day!

A romantic getaway in The Cotswolds – What to do in The Cotswolds?
The Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful regions of England. This area of outstanding natural beauty has postcard-like landscapes and green hills. The Cotswolds are known for their small villages of flowery cottages and for being a great romantic gettaway. The Cotswolds villages are built with honey-colored limestone. For centuries, this stone has been used for all constructions: cottages, mansions, churches or pubs… Tourists from all over the world come here to soak up this "British" atmosphere. They hike or drive from village to village, sleeping in B&B's or the local inn. Here's a small list of what to do on your romantic trip through The Cotswolds.
Smell the roses during beautiful garden visits
The Cotswolds have charmed us with its beautiful flower gardens. Each of the gardens has been beautifully designed and you can spend hours smelling roses and sitting on benches enjoying the flowers.
My ultimate favourites are the gardens of Sudeley. These gardens surround a medieval castle which was the last home of Queen Catherine Parr, Henry VIII's last wife. Rose bushes and clematis climb to storm the ruins of the tithe barn, transformed into a romantic garden.
Discover small villages by bike
The English might not be a people that likes to cycle, but cycling with your partner is amazing! You can book a guided cycling tour with your partner and discover the beautiful countryside.
The Cotswolds are perfect for exploring by bike. You can cycle along the many quiet, beautiful country lanes and bridle paths while enjoying the countryside. On a bike it is easier to take in the breathtaking scenery and discover old, pretty villages. There are agencies that offer special bicycle hire service for guests during their stay.
Take a romantic horseback riding tour
Horse riding has always been very romantic. Equestrian schools and centres such as Bourton Vale Equestrian Centre offer horse riding tours. The level of the rider doesn't matter, they are more than happy to teach you.
Even if you're new to horses and a total beginner, the staff is helpful and will make sure you feel comfortable right away. I cannot recommend discovering the area by horse more!
Put together a pick-nick and go fishing
If you prefer a calmer activity, we recommend Lemington Lakes. They are are an amazing fishing and holiday complex. They offer fishing in beautiful and calm surroundings. The view over the lakes is spectacular.
You get to chill, talk and enjoy the amazing nature all while fishing. Pack up a pick nick and maybe even a bottle of wine (or two) and spend the day talking and fishing!
Camp out at a beautiful Cotswolds farm!
What's more adorable than camping in a farm with your partner? A lot of farms in the cotswolds offer the possibility of camping. You will have access to all comfort and amenities while immersing yourself in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
We recommend Moor Farm, it's a real-life paradise. Only 8 km from the ancient town of Gloucester and a short walk from the Severn River Estuary, you will both get the chance to de-stress and relax. Moor Farm has a very cozy common room, perfect for groups as well as a huge barn for parties and weddings. It also offers an indoor pool.
Other things to do in The Cotswolds

I have written many add-ins for Visio over the years, some for private clients for use in-house, some as products for public release by my clients or by me, and some just to help me with my day-to-day Visio development tasks. The ease of installation is always an issue, and I have been using a digital certificate to guarantee its authenticity in almost all of these scenarios. I have also included licensing code from a third-party for some of my own products, but have been aware that the third-party product I have been using is not ideal because it needs its own registered component on the client machine. So, when a client asked that I use Advanced Installer to create the installation setups so that their licensing system could be used, then I was (and still am) all for it because it could become a better method for myself. However, there are some issues that I am overcoming through this transition ….not least that an apparently correctly assigned digital certificate was actually not valid.[Read more…] about Using Advanced Installer with Viso VSTO Add-Ins
Deploying a Visio 2007 or 2010 VSTO add-in with Visual Studio 2010
I like extending Visio with custom code, and I have been doing it a long time. I progressed from VBA within Visio documents, to VB executable, using a C++ wrapper to register as Visio Add-ons, through VB.net COM add-ins to C# VSTO add-ins. Which ever language and method I use, it seems to me that deployment is always far more more difficult than it should be. Even though it has got simpler with VS 2010, there are still some gotchas…

Top Chef TX needs sizzle for their steaks,Work of Art does the street hustle and TAR's Final Three
The Quickfire on Top Chef Texas this week had the chefs drawing knives to see which mother sauce they'd be working with(a mother sauce is a basic sauce,with the five best known being tomato,bechamel,veloute,espagnole and Hollandaise).
Each of them had to add their own unique twist to the sauce and serve it with an appropriate dish. Grayson won immunity for her seared corn flavoring to her Hollandaise sauce over scallops and a corn ravioli.
The Elimination challenge required everyone to work as a team in order to make a four course steak dinner for the Cattle Baron's Ball at South Fork Ranch(yes,the South Fork,as in the 1980's hit show Dallas).
Two of the courses had to feature steak and a new car was thrown in as the big prize here. The chefs broke off into mini teams that focused on one course to prepare while all of them pitched in to set things up during service.
Heather and Lindsey wound up being the take charge gals here,since no one really wanted to be seen as the leader and risk getting eliminated. Heather also got on Beverly's case for taking too long to get the shrimp ready for the soup in the first course(which turned out fine). She's not the only one who has issues with Beverly but Heather is the one being most vocal about it.
Meanwhile,Heather's peach cake with candied pecan streusel won top honors and the car,which annoyed Edward since he had given her that recipe for an earlier challenge. Lots of tension building up here,folks!
Edward had other things to worry about,as the heirloom tomato salad he made for the second course went over like a lead balloon.
It was deemed bland and boring,not to mention safe. He wound up in the Bottom Three for it but he was the only one from his section of the dinner to do so.
The real problems were in the third course,as the steaks were supposed to be medium rare. Ty-Lor was in charge of the meat and he grilled them all outside,sending them to the kitchen to be finished in the oven.
Due to Lindsey rushing the proceedings,the steaks were cooked too early and the results were uneven at best. Ty-Lor was already wiped out before the dinner,due to spending the night at the local ER to get his hand stitched and he didn't realize that the steaks were ruined in time.
To his credit,Ty-Lor took all of the responsibility for that failure and even when put on the chopping block,he didn't throw anyone under the bus. I'm glad that he stayed,that showed true character on his part.
Whitney went home instead,for her potato gratin that was undercooked and lacking seasoning. She probably should have baked it ahead of time but for some reason,she was convinced that it would be better to wait. Next week,the chefs take a ride with tequila and Heather gets into it with Beverly again. Ladies,can't we all get along?
On Work of Art,the challenge was to make art suitable for selling on the street(Tribeca Park,to be exact)and then have a corresponding display in the gallery. They had only five hours to buy materials and get everything ready to sell.
Everyone worked in teams of two and the one that made the most money would receive immunity along with 30 grand. They're certainly giving away quite a bit of cash this season,which in some ways kind of negates the whole "selling out" concept here.
Young paired up with Sara J. and he made small paintings to sell,plus T shirts and hand painted boy's underwear. For the gallery showing,one of his unsold paintings was displayed along side a triptych of the colorful designs for the underwear.
For some reason,that seemed to anger the judges,especially Judge Jerry and guest judge Jeanine(who was a regular WOA panel member last year). They insisted that there was a disconnect between what he had sold on the street and what he brought to the show.
In my opinion,his pieces were a nice contrast in whimsical and weird. Plus,if he had put out underpants,Young would've been slammed for that as well.
Sara J. had some T shirts and small paintings,too but sold out of them quickly. She then resorted to the classic "portrait on the street" routine,using watercolors to enhance her drawings.
Her strengths in drawing really shined here and Sara's fast on her feet approach earned enough money for her and Young to win the challenge. I really admire her skills as the show has gone along and look forward to seeing more of her talents.
Speaking of exposing your talents,Lola went for the obvious and did a nude photo of herself with text written across it that was supposed to be her "secrets". She even scribbled some "secrets" on the various sized pictures that were sold in the park.
*Sigh* Maybe it's just me but isn't that whole sharing secrets gimmick over and done with by now? Not to mention that writing on pictures and drawings(tracings,actually) suggests more of a frustrated poet than a visual artist. Honey,go write a Fiona Apple song or something like that,seriously.
Sarah C,meanwhile,was her partner and she stenciled T shirts with feather breast designs. She also made feathered headdresses,like the kind you make in kindergarten,and her piece for the show was a man/woman silhouette that looked as empty as Lola's imagination.
I know,picking on Lola is not fair but this is the second time that she's teamed up with someone and that person wound up getting all giggly and drawing cartoon penises.
Lola said she was a witch in the last challenge and her jinxing abilities are starting to show. Anyway,Sarah went home and what will happen next should be mind boggling,at the very least.
The Final Four teams on The Amazing Race went to Panama and it looked as if surfers Tommy and Andy were going to be the team to beat as the last leg of this round was ending. However,the guys took a wrong turn as they had trouble with the clue that would lead them to the Pit Stop.
It was difficult,as the teams were sent to watch a group of dancers and either spot the name of the place in the design on one of their dresses or notice the building drawn on the medallions the ladies were wearing. Tommy and Andy saw the word "Balboa" and took that as the clue,which headed them off in the wrong direction.
They came in last and so the Final Three teams are Ernie and Cindy,Amani and Marcus and Jeremy and Sandy. Good luck to you all and sorry to see Tommy and Andy leave so soon. They did run a good race here and best of luck to them in the future:
GAME OF THRONES: Season Two is set to begin in April of 2012 and the DVDs for Season One will be available in March. Perhaps those discs will offer some hints of what is to come,particularly for such fan favorites as Danys,Tyrion and the spunkiest Stark of them all,Arya:

What is the most powerful thing in the world? What is it in this world that we know has more power than anything else? Now when I ask that question in this context - in this place - a church, some may think the answer has to be God. And given a contemporary understanding of the Divine thats a good answer. It reminds me of a story I heard in Canada many years ago. The minister had gathered the children on the steps of the chancel to tell them a story. He asks, "What is brown, covered in fur and gathers nuts to store for the winter?" There is a moment of silence as the children ponder their answers and then a little boy raises his hand and says, "Well, it sounds a lot like a squirrel, but I know the answer is going to be Jesus."
What is the most powerful thing in our world? If you read the newspaper each morning you may agree with Chairman Mao Tse-Tung that "power comes from the barrel of a gun". It is difficult to shake off the illusion that violence is the most powerful thing in the world.
Of course it is also reasonable to suggest that love is the most powerful thing we know. I certainly agree with that. And of course it is never love in the abstract, but always love as an action or as something practical. I remind those young couples who come to this place to be married that love is a verb a doing word, not just a noun. As Scott Peck wrote in his book the Road Less Travelled:
Love is not a just a feeling. Love is an action; an activity . . . Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. It is the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth. True love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love; it is correct to say that 'Love is as love does'.
Yes, love probably does make the world go around. But I want to suggest this morning that the most powerful thing in the world is a big idea; an idea that has the capacity to grow even beyond itself. The greatest ideas are never static or fixed or stagnant. They are always dynamic and vibrant.
What has kept Christian faith alive for 2,000 years has been its capacity to change and to be a dynamic influence in every culture it engages. True, it has been imperialistic and often failed to incorporate the best that a particular culture may have had, but Christian faith has had a remarkable ability to change and grow into the needs of people and cultures in different places and at different times in history. Sadly, today in the West particularly, the Christian Church is dying. The internal struggles; the desire to return to a golden age; the fear of the contemporary culture; an unwillingness to embrace the best of science, psychology, anthropology and spirituality and a timidity to reinterpret the Biblical message for modern minds has weakened both the institution of the church and its morale.
Interestingly, all we really need is a big idea that is animated by the Spirit of Life and which captures the imagination, and a movement begins. Thats how it all started. Thats what inspiration is all about. The word means to breathe into to breathe life into and then the idea begins to do its work.
The Ephesians' Big Idea
The passage read earlier illustrates this movement of an idea. It may not seem so significant to us, but the notion put forward in the letter to the church of Ephesus that the "uncircumcised", those outside of the Jewish faith, can be brought into the covenant with God and have the same place, the same rights as the "circumcised" was a radical idea a big idea. It was this movement toward an inclusivity that many in the ancient world found difficult to accept. Nevertheless, I suggest it opened the way for the church - the community of faith - to be an open and inclusive movement. Now as often happens it didnt take long before the gatekeepers found ways to keep people out. But here at the birth of Christian community the movement of the Spirit was toward open inclusiveness.
Remember that at one time you were called "the uncircumcised" by those who were circumcised. But it was a circumcision of the flesh made by human hands. You were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.
John Dominic Crossan, the Irish-American Biblical scholar, has suggested that the decision to move away from circumcision may have also had a very practical aspect. While an eight-day-old baby boy has little say in what is done to him, a grown man, on the other hand, who desires to embrace the life and teaching of Jesus may say, "You are going to do what to where?" So embedded in the Christian way has always been the capacity to adapt and to adopt that which continues the forward movement of the church.
While the language and the historical context may be somewhat foreign to us, it doesnt take much to hear the early murmurings of a religion that is willing to engage the prevailing culture. But always centring in the one who through his life and teaching drew all people into this healing and wholeness. Again from the letter to the Ephesians:
But now in Christ Jesus you, who once were far off, have been brought near by the life of Christ. For he is our peace; through his body he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility between us. The law with its commandments and ordinances is finished and instead he has created one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace and reconciling both groups to God in one body through the cross and putting to death that hostility.
To be radically open to all humanity, the walls that divide must be demolished. I recall Robert Frost's poem Mending Wall:
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down!"
~Mending Wall by Robert Frost
Of course there is always the opposite view that "Good fences make good neighbours", which also comes from Frosts poem. But the more radical idea the big idea that comes from the author of the letter to the Ephesians - is that all the walls can come down. First, the dividing walls of religion; then the dividing walls of cultural and national hostility, so that there is only one new humanity formed, shaped, nourished and nurtured through the Spirit of Christ lived out in the life of Jesus.
Being One New Humanity
But the subtle point here is that it is not just a matter of people becoming Christians, or joining a Christian church to become one new humanity. What the author is encouraging us to see is that this big idea of reconciliation between those who are hostile to each other and the notion that we are one new humanity formed by the life and vision of Jesus of Nazareth, this idea, this notion dont just belong to the Christian Church but belong to the whole wide world. (Dangerously close to the World Wide Web!)
Thats difficult to grasp because we have been encouraged to see ourselves as having the "keys to the kingdom." It will be for us to decide who is in and who is out. And it doesnt matter which Christian denomination we belong to, we do have an internal sense of being right and that others should be more like us. Maybe that is just a natural way of being in the world. You know, a bit like the song from My Fair Lady, "Why cant a woman be more like a man?"
Professor Higgins:
Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so honest, so thoroughly square;
Eternally noble, historically fair.
Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat.
Why can't a woman be like that?
Why cant everybody be more like me? Well thank God they are not! The new humanity birthed in the vision of Jesus is diverse, different and dissimilar and continually changing and responding to all that is happening in the world around. And that is a good thing.
The idea that humanity can be one; that reconciliation between hostile groups is possible; that the walls that divide us can be torn down; and that we are no longer strangers and aliens, but citizens and members of the household of God - these are all big ideas that have grown within our Christian faith and are growing with our world. Sometimes, perhaps most times, it takes a long while before we see the fruition of these spirit-filled ideas. It took hundreds of years for us as the human race to see that the racial divide could be conquered; that slavery must be abolished and that human dignity is found in the new humanity.
It is sad that within our own day we still idolise our national boundaries, and highlight our religious and cultural distinctions because our ideas are too small. And perhaps these distinctions and divides are necessary for where we are in our evolutionary history. But we are moving forward and it is noteworthy that a man writing two thousand years ago had a big idea, a power idea that these constructed human distinctions we so prize could be transcended by a great vision, a bigger idea - one that was not static or stagnant but empowered and energised by the very Spirit of life itself.

I used to love being able to say 'I told you so'. On the playground it was the equivalent of ruling by divine will. Affirmation was absolution. 'I told you so' made me right and it made me happy. In my self-centered universe the most important thing was my own opinion and perspective and every action revolved around the pursuit of proving myself in every way.
I didn't like growing up. The unbearable weight of maturity came with the burden of realizing that the universe did not in fact revolve around only me. Suddenly I had to take into consideration other people's 'feelings' and 'perspectives'. I had to be 'courteous' and 'considerate'. I had to stop talking to people with 'air quotes' because it was 'condescending'. Now I live in a world where 'I told you so' is only said by children and smug know-it-alls. It's taboo and uncouth. Suddenly, I was faced with a decision that separated two things I once thought were the same.
I could be happy…or I could be right.
When we learn to see beyond our own perspective we realize the 'duality' of things. Whereas before it was simply enough to be happy and right, now we have to consider that in order to be 'happy' someone must have to be 'unhappy' and to be 'right' someone must have to be 'wrong'. As we learn to care for others and include other people in our lives, this realization complicates our relationships and often times presents obstacles and stumbling blocks.
Relationships are complicated and in the vast jungle of human interaction there are twists, dead-ends, and u-turns. It is no longer a straight one-way street as we learn to 'see' others along the way. It isn't as satisfying to be as staunch in our stances but at the same time it's so difficult to yield.
I get it, it isn't fair that we have to choose to be happy or be right. If only we could have both. But the only way to do that is to give up on our relationships altogether. No one wants to be wrong, but no one wants to be unhappy either. Someone is going to have to be one or the other though.
Being wrong hurts because it makes us feel insecure and embarrassed. It is an attack on our pride and our egos. Worst of all, it puts us in a compromised state in front of someone whose opinion, most likely, matters to us. It's such a twisted irony that the biggest struggles between being 'happy' and 'right' that cause the most friction and frustration are often with the people we care about the most. These issues are so much simpler and easier with people who mean nothing to us but when it is someone important we become much more likely to 'defend' ourselves.
Being unhappy isn't much of an alternative. The source of our unhappiness is the knowledge that we are right paired with the frustration of trying to assert that knowledge on others. We take up causes we believe in (why would we waste our time on things we don't, after all) and it is our cross to bear. We are the heralds of our truth and much like all the visionaries of past, we are unwanted or ignored, or worse yet, challenged.
I think to help us make this decision we need to reimagine these two concepts. 'Happiness' could be considered 'reward' and 'rightness' could be considered 'struggle'. If the struggle is worth more than the reward, we stick to our guns and continue to pursue being 'right'. But if the reward outweighs the struggle, we should yield at the cost of our conviction for the greater good.
Let's take domestic bliss for example. You and your partner are living together and you cannot count anymore how many times you've had to remind your partner to replace the toilet paper roll. You consider it a sign of common courtesy and respect. They just don't think it's that big of a deal. Your otherwise happy union is constantly marred by this…(pardon the pun) dirty streak. You could continue this crusade. Bring it up over and over. You might seriously believe that this is some indicator of a larger lack of respect or awareness in your relationship. But if you are truly happy, isn't a moment's inconvenience a small price to pay? When our partners constantly come to us to complain about their day, should we point out all the things they clearly did wrong that we warned them not to do that we had the foresight to predict, or should we simply nod along and offer sympathy and understanding?
I read an article last month about a woman whose crusade to prove the IRS owed her money cost her ten years of her life living homeless on the streets of Washington DC where most people considered her insane. For more than a decade she hopped from homeless shelter to street with her only belongings being three suitcases full of documents and checks from the IRS that she refused to check because she was sure they were in the wrong amount and that she was owed more than they were giving. She could have cashed these checks and taken the amount that the IRS had issued her. She didn't have to move to DC to prove her point. She didn't have to chase after the IRS for ten years. But if she had cashed those checks, the 'reward', who would have ever believed that she was right? This story has a happy ending, by the way. After a social worker finally agreed to listen to her case and review her documents they realized she was telling the truth all along and the IRS issued her $99,999. According to her lawyer she may be owed even more.
I've been so used to chasing being right. I live in an environment that thrives on that. Being the older brother and being the oldest person in my group of friends I am used to taking a leadership position and taking for granted that I would be right without much opposition. The only time I've ever really encountered some resistance has been in my relationships. In hindsight I realize now that while it wouldn't have ultimately saved any of them, I must have surrendered so many opportunities and possibilities for happiness because I stubbornly insisted on fighting.
When we rephrase these concepts as struggle and reward, it's interesting how almost none of us would ever freely choose to struggle, when the reward is right there in our grasp. But our pride and our ego and our vanity sometimes get in the way. Sometimes it's just that we have so little experience taking into consideration other people's perspectives. We're not bad people. We've just been dealing with bad definitions of happiness and rightness. We've been dealing with bad perceptions of how relationships work. No one wants to struggle. We have to choose this. When we do for the right reasons it lends nobility and courage to our actions. But when we let the struggle choose us, we invite chaos and hurt and suffering.
So the next time you and a person disagree, don't think 'do you want to be happy or do you want to be right', think 'is this struggle worth more or less than the reward?'

I struggled with the stairs today. I don't have my official time yet, but my watch has me about 25 seconds slower than last year. Not sure what the problem was. I think I'm in better shape than I was last year, but it was rough going today. Last year I got faster on each trip up. This year I slowed each time. Probably pushed a little to hard on the first trip. I've been doing a lot of strength training lately and have put on a few pounds. That could be a part of it. Even though I think the weight gain is mostly muscle it still has to be hauled all the way to the top. Still it was fun. Met some new people and ran into some old friends.
Update: Ok, my time was only about 18 seconds slower than last year and I came in 5th place.

I am tracking the Vic Maui race as a test. I have the boats set up including a reference boat which I created using the yb tracking option at first using a high speed connection.
When I attempt to import position reports via the y/b short code link I get an "unable to open boat id file" error message.
What is the code you are using for the race?
When I open the files in Notepad, they appear to be correct. Someone on the forum in an older post suggested that both files had to be in the same folder. I have them both in the same folder on my desktop.
I cant import the boat ids file into Expedition.
When I use the regular YB tracking feature in Exp and the code vicmaui2018, the boat id's load fine as a starting point, I set a reference boat and they display on the schedule. However, when I try to import position file via the above I get the boat id error message and can't update.
It works as expected here. make sure you select Expedition as the format type and then select the vicmaui2018-expedition.txt file.
You don't import the boat id file. Exp does that automatically.
Of course, it is easier just to enter vicmaui2018 in Exp's YB Tracking interface.
Not sure what I changed, but it is working now.
Thank you

Petraus new Centcom CG - Afghan War to suffer ?
Next president will inherit steadfast military defenders of Bush's policies
Associated Press -updated 4:03 a.m. ET, Thurs., April. 24, 2008
WASHINGTON - President Bush is promoting his top Iraq commander, Army Gen. David Petraeus, and replacing him with the general's recent deputy, keeping the United States on its war course and handing the next president a pair of combat-tested commanders who have relentlessly defended Bush's strategies.
Bush will nominate Petraeus to replace Navy Adm. William J. Fallon as chief of U.S. Central Command, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Wednesday. The command's area of responsibility features some of the most vexing military and foreign policy problems facing this administration and its successor — including Iran, Pakistan, Lebanon, parts of Africa and Afghanistan in addition to Iraq.
Fallon resigned last month, saying news reports that he was at odds with the White House over Iran policy had become a distraction. He was the first Navy officer to lead Central Command; the Petraeus choice represents a return to the more common practice of making it an Army slot.
Petraeus would be succeeded at a pivotal time in Baghdad by Army Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, who was the No. 2 commander in Iraq for 15 months. He has been credited by many with deftly managing security gains that Petraeus told Congress this month have opened a pathway for potential political progress in the country.
Gates said he hoped the Senate would act on both nominations by next month and expected Petraeus to switch to the Central Command job, which is based in Tampa, Fla., by late summer or early fall.
That is the point at which Petraeus is likely to make an initial recommendation to Gates and to Bush on whether conditions in Iraq are stable enough to permit a further reduction in U.S. troop levels.
The United States has about 160,000 troops in Iraq and about 28,000 in Afghanistan. The strain of those wars has taken a heavy toll on U.S. ground forces.
Politically sensitive questions
Among the politically sensitive questions Petraeus would face as head of Central Command is whether the military focus on Iraq is limiting what U.S. and allied forces can accomplish in Afghanistan. And he would be pressed on the matter of using military force against Iran.
The next president taking office in January would not be compelled to keep either Petraeus or Odierno, but normally the lineup of senior commanders — as well as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — is not changed with administrations.
"There is no precedent in U.S. tradition for a new president changing these kinds of officers," said Stephen Biddle, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and an occasional adviser to Petraeus. "For an incoming president to change them (in 2009) would be a real statement."
Many Republicans, including all-but-certain presidential nominee John McCain, are enthusiastic Petraeus supporters. Democrats on Capitol Hill are not expected to oppose either Petraeus or Odierno, but they are likely to raise tough questions during confirmation hearings.
Ready to act on new president's directive?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid noted after Gates' announcement that any war commander must be committed to "implementing major changes in strategy" if directed to do so by a new president.
"The Senate will carefully examine these nominations, and I will be looking for credible assurances of a strong commitment to implementing a more effective national security strategy," said Reid, D-Nev.
John Batiste, a retired Army two-star general who was a division commander in Iraq in 2004-05, said in an e-mail exchange that he has confidence in the abilities of Petraeus and Odierno, but he questions whether their experience and expertise can make the crucial difference in the U.S. war on terror.
"The best military in the world ... cannot redeem a national strategy which fails in the more important diplomatic, political and economic components of strategy and when the nation is not mobilized behind our incredible service men and women," wrote Batiste, who was among the retired officers who spoke out against the war two years ago in what became known as the revolt of the generals.
The issue of Iran
At a Pentagon news conference, Gates said he did not foresee that the new lineup at Central Command and in Iraq would mean any changes in the way the United States is approaching the issue of Iranian influence in Iraq. Petraeus and Odierno have both accused Iran of aiding rebels opposing U.S. troops.
"It's my belief that General Odierno and General Petraeus and Admiral Fallon were all in exactly the same position when it came to their views of Iranian interference inside Iraq," Gates said. "And it is a hard position. Because what the Iranians are doing is killing American service men and women inside Iraq."
Petraeus will face broader aspects of the Iran issue if he is confirmed as Fallon's replacement. A number of U.S. officials, including Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have asserted that Iran also is supplying arms or otherwise supporting the Taliban rebels in Afghanistan.
Earlier this week, Gates said that while war with Iran would be "disastrous on a number of levels," the military option cannot be abandoned so long as the Iranians remain a potential nuclear threat.
Many had seen a strong possibility that Gates' senior military assistant, Army Lt. Gen. Peter Chiarelli, would replace Petraeus in Baghdad if Petraeus were nominated for the Central Command job.
Asked why he had recommended Odierno, Gates said, "General Odierno is known recently to the Iraqi leadership, he's known to the Iraqi generals, he is known to our own people, he has current experience," and so the odds of a smooth transition in Baghdad "are better with him than with anybody else I could identify."
Odierno, currently commander of the Army's 3rd Corps at Fort Hood, Texas, served as the No. 2 commander in Iraq from December 2006 to February 2008. Chiarelli, who preceded Odierno in that post and then joined Gates' staff, will be nominated as the next vice chief of staff of the Army. Bush had nominated Odierno for that job some months ago; Gates said that nomination will be withdrawn.

For years, Top Chef has been a platform for culinary professionals to show their stuff and jump-start their careers. Jeremy Ford won Season 13 of the competition and went on to open Stubborn Seed in Miami Beach, and chefs Jeff McInnis, Janine Booth, Kenny Gilbert, and Nina Compton are but a few of the show's contestants who have garnered major success despite not winning the coveted title.
27 Restaurant & Bar's chef de cuisine, 29-year-old Pablo Lamon, is the newest member of Miami's exclusive Top Chef alumni.
A native of Buenos Aires, Lamon left Argentina at the age of 23 to toil in kitchens around the world before settling in Miami. He worked at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Matador Room and Jeremy Ford's Stubborn Seed before beginning his tenure at 27 Restaurant & Bar in Miami Beach.
Lamon was chosen to compete on Top Chef after applying through the casting website. He endured culinary ups and downs during filming before being ousted in the dreaded "Restaurant Wars" episode. But he says filming gave him unique opportunities he never would have experienced otherwise. "I had Christmas dinner with Eric Ripert. That was the most important moment for me and one that I only got to experience because I worked hard."
Lamon shares that he never would have been able to make it on the show without the support of his colleagues at 27 Restaurant & Bar. "We filmed for around five weeks, and I had to have a conversation with my executive chef and sous-chef that I would be gone for so long, but I got nothing but support from them. They were all happy about my achievement."
The chef says filming the show was "like a big dream" with every day a surprise. "From the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep, you have no idea what's going to happen. All the moments you see on TV are real. The producers wake you up with cameras in your face, and you generally have one hour to get ready to do whatever challenge they've chosen. Sometimes there was travel involved

Lamon also says the biggest challenge — not being allowed to have a cell phone — resulted in the biggest payoff. "At first not having a phone was pretty tough, but it turned out to be amazing. Instead of looking at your phone, [the cast] talked to each other and learned about each other and became friends."
Overall, he says, the experience was amazing. "Everything is taken from someone's fantasy. You're hanging out with chefs at this amazing house and have access to the best ingredients and the best equipment. It's everything a chef could ever want."
Though the chef says he's disappointed he was voted off the show, he realizes it's just part of the competition — and life. "You have good days and bad days, but I'm pretty proud of how far I made it in the competition. I'm leaving with a good taste in my mouth."

I learned this in my woodcarving club and it is valuable for our kitchen knives as well.
You can use the "back" of a real leather belt to sharpen knives!
This description is for the NON serrated blades only (the straight edged ones) although it could be used on a serrated blade as well if you keep your knife pinned flat down on the belt.
No need to wet the belt nor knife.
Just lie the belt on a flat surface. Lie the knife FLAT down with your fingers BEHIND the blade (as shown) and pull AWAY from the sharp part of the blade!!
AWAY FROM THE SHARP side!!!!!!! That's important! You will dull the knife the other way.
Doing this will rub off any burrs or bumpy edges of the blade, resharpening it.
Flip the knife to the other side then pull it AWAY from the blade side in that direction to finish it up.
Don't use your finger to test the sharpness!!!!
If you must test, woodcarvers will LIGHTLY touch their finger nail on the blade. You can tell if it's sharp by the feel of the knife on your nail.
Note: Don't try to rub the knife back and forth like an olden day barber in the movies! That can cause the knife edge to create a ROLL of metal on the edge of the knife blade, dulling it.
I have found that to keep a knife or scissors sharp, cutting kitchen foil is a simple answer.
By Anne Carter from UK
I know this may not seem important to many people, but I like a sharp cooking knife. This probably comes from living in Japan. Almost every household has a whetstone. We tend to sharpen the knife at least once a week if not every time we use it. Usually you wet the stone with water, but the water runs off or evaporates quickly.
The solution is to use liquid soap. The knife will glide better and the soap doesn't run off the stone as quickly as the water does. The extra bonus is when you have rinsed the knife off you will have a clean knife; you will have skipped a step.
By Tim from Science Hill, KY
Don't have a sharpening stone? Use a ceramic mug with a rough base. Turn mug upside down and using your opposite hand, hold the mug in place with the mug handle. Carefully run the blade at a slight angle across the bottom of the mug.

We keep all of our knives for cutting, peeling, filleting, and other uses in a butcher block style holder. They stay very sharp all the time. The trick to this is once they are used they are immediately washed and dried off and replaced in the holder. So, if you are tired of having a dull knife try this and see how much sharper they stay
By Gem from VA
For a quick touch up on your knives, vigorously rub the blade on a green scratch pad, such as the Scotch brand. An old one will do. You will be surprised at the edge it will put on your knives.

Chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, eggs Benedict — in a city that brunches as hard as Dallas, it's easy to fall in a brunch rut. This weekend, take your brunch to the next level with one of these completely over-the-top Dallas-area brunch dishes.
Zoli's chicken and waffle cannoli
Zoli's knows a thing or two about being extra, and there's nothing more extra than a footlong waffle cannoli filled with Nashville hot chicken. Chicken tenderloins get spiced up, deep-fried and stuffed into a waffle-type cannoli shell, but that's not all. Zoli's also ladles bacon gravy, habanero honey and fresh whipped cream on top, crowning the dish with housemade dill pickles. Never change, Zoli's.
Brown Sugar Cafe's sweet butter toast
There's toast, and then there's this behemoth breakfast dish, served alongside curious brunch additions like hot dogs at Brown Sugar Cafe in Carrollton. Known for its popular waffles — which people flock to during dinner, too — this cafe also makes epic sweet buttered toast, which isn't technically on the brunch menu but is available during brunch, served from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day. A loaf of milk bread is toasted and topped with syrup, salted butter, powdered sugar and cinnamon.

City Council's boozy cereal
Nothing says "I am very much an adult" like waking up at noon and starting the day with sugary kids' cereal paired with boozy milk cocktails. Milk bottles are filled with creamy custom cocktails, each created to pair specifically with Cocoa Pebbles, Apple Jacks, Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Fruity Pebbles.
Intrinsic's chicken-fried brisket
Intrinsic Smokehouse and Brewery in Garland is poised to break the internet with this May brunch special. Smoked brisket is chicken-fried until the exterior is perfectly crispy before getting a generous splash of peppery gravy made with barbecue burnt ends. Dreams really do come true.

Intense Championship Fighting ended a busy 2014 with a solid eight fight card at the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls, MT.
The main event saw Jared Torgeson successfully defend his middleweight title against Leo Bercier. Both were tentative throughout the fight, not wanting to over commit to a barrage of punches. Torgeson's harder shots is what made the difference in what was a closely tested bout that saw the Washington fighter get a unanimous decision over Bercier.
It only took Tim Welch 47 seconds to defeat Idaho's Kerry Lattimer in the co-main event of the card. After Lattimer got a takedown on Welch, the Montana native sunk a deep armbar to finish the fight. He improves to 12-5.
The other pro bout say Blake Green hip toss then armbar J.C. Gardipee in 29 seconds.
The amateur feature bout saw Sean O'Malley take on last minute replacement Brandon Caldwell in a non-title match. O'Malley looked to have fun in the cage with his striking, trying several times to leap off the cage for flying strikes. Caldwell seemed game, however, with the ability to get the take. Ultimately, O'Malley would work off his back in round 2 to secure a triangle choke to get the submission win.
ICF president Cory Smith announced O'Malley has been signed to a three fight pro contract with the promotion, and his first pro fight will be in February.
In what was the only female bout on the card, Hannah Kampf out grappled DJ Morrison to get a unanimous decision win (you can watch the video of the fight here).
Here is a complete list of results from ICF 16.

Two stellar exhibitions at Art Gallery of Burlington entice the viewer in magical and different ways.
BEAUTIFUL SCARS Mohawk Warriors, Hunters & Chiefs: The Art of Tom Wilson opens at Art Gallery of Burlington December 1
Renowned musician and indigenous artist launches new series of artworks in a solo exhibition, curated by David Liss
Tom Wilson's commitment to being an artist is complete, resolute and covers many media. Best known as an award-winning musician renowned around the world for his storytelling songwriting and his heartfelt and moving performing style, many of his fans are learning that Tom Wilson has been painting for more than 21 years. A solo exhibition launching at the Art Gallery of Burlington celebrates his work in paint AND his newly-discovered focus on his personal story and identity – an identity as an Indigenous man whose truth was only discovered seven years ago.
In mid-life, in his 50s, Tom learned that the parents who raised him were not his birth parents; that, in fact, he was adopted and that his biological mother was a longtime family friend from the Kahnawake reserve, just outside of Montreal. Grappling with this newfound sense of himself plunged Tom into a quest for his heritage and his truth, and led to the writing of his bestselling autobiography, Beautiful Scars. The book is a colourful and truthful tale of this quest, and his life's tribulations and successes along the path.
The discovery of his true heritage and the culture that it carries now informs all of his art and especially his painting. The show at AGB will feature his most heartfelt exploration of imagery that tells the story that he has only begun to uncover. "My art is a continuation of my long way home," Tom says. "It is my way of showing honour and respect to a culture that I'm just shaking hands with." Since authenticity is Tom's calling card in all things, his paintings are in the same vein of truth-telling, story-sharing and heart-stirring as his other art. As Tom states, "My truth was hidden from me – I was born a Mohawk baby, and finally I'm becoming a Mohawk man."
BEAUTIFUL SCARS Mohawk Warriors, Hunters & Chiefs: The Art of Tom Wilson is curated by David Liss, currently curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, and formerly the Director and Curator of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. Liss was born and raised in Hamilton and in the early 1980s was active in the city's music scene while studying at the Dundas Valley School of Art. This is where Tom and David first met, and they've been friends ever since, connected through family and the close-knit circles of the Hamilton music and Canadian art scenes.
Although the house where Tom Wilson grew up on East 36th Street on the Hamilton Mountain is only 11 kilometres across the Bay from the front door of the Art Gallery of Burlington, the journey of his lifetime will be on view in the paintings of BEAUTIFUL SCARS Mohawk Warriors, Hunters & Chiefs: The Art of Tom Wilson.
BEAUTIFUL SCARS Mohawk Warriors, Hunters & Chiefs: The Art of Tom Wilson launches December 1, 2018 and concludes January 27, 2019. Title Sponsors are Samuel, Son & Co. and MNP; Exhibition Sponsors are Utter Morris Insurance; O'Connor MacLeod Hanna; Four Corners Group; Adam and Christine Doering; Rick and Cindy Balaz.
'Dancing on the Grave' shows two notable artists combining sculpture and painting
Dil Hildebrand and Patrick Thibert use abstraction to move and stir emotion
The Art Gallery of Burlington and the Woodstock Art Gallery are delighted to be working on this co-production exhibition and publication featuring recent works by two notable artists Dil Hildebrand and Patrick Thibert. Presented under the tongue-in-cheek banner "Dancing on the Grave," the title of this exhibition conjures up associations to mortality and re-birth, but more directly references the genre of abstraction. In the last 100 years, abstraction has been sought after, theorized, given life and meaning to, only to be re-interpreted and re-invented many times over. Both Hildebrand and Thibert are part of this complex and faceted trajectory, coming to abstraction from their own individual positions of experience and place.
As a sculptor, Thibert's artistic practice has moved from a deep engagement with abstraction towards the figure and has since leapt back into the power of shape, line, and colour. A generation younger, Hildebrand's paintings have evolved out of the magical realism of trompe-l'œil (to deceive the eye) into a playful struggle with the flatness of the green drafting grid. He is now embracing historical illustration as a jumping off point with his image-making.
It is their imaginative use of collage and layering that formally links these two artists. The resulting visual effects strike those elusive chords of emotional meaning. Both Hildebrand and Thibert force the viewer to put work into the process of looking. The reward is an unravelling of subtle nuances that tug at poignant memories and connections buried deep within us.
The Art Gallery of Burlington would like to recognize the sponsorship of RBC Royal Bank and Cynthia Zahoruk Architects, along with the support of the Ontario Arts Council. The Woodstock Art Gallery is a department of the City of Woodstock, and would like to further extend thanks to all of whom made this exhibition and catalogue possible.
Dil Hildebrand & Patrick Thibert: Dancing on the Grave launches December 1, 2018 and concludes January 27, 2019. Title Sponsor is RBC; Exhibition Sponsor is CZ Architects.
TOM WILSON A three-time Juno winning musician with multiple gold records, Indigenous artist Tom Wilson has written for and recorded songs with Sarah McLachlan, City and Colour, Jason Isbell, Colin James, Lucinda Williams, Billy Ray Cyrus, Mavis Staples and The Rankin Family, to name a few. Known for his band Junkhouse and his iconic, Americana-fuelled Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Tom's most recent incarnation, Lee Harvey Osmond, has received extensive praise and airplay throughout the North America.
DAVID LISS is curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, and formerly the Director and Curator of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. From 1995 to 2000 he was Director and Curator of the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts in Montreal. Through the mid-1980s and early 1990s in Montreal he was an artist, writer and organizer of art exhibitions and music events. Liss was born and raised in Hamilton and during the early 1980s he became involved in the city's thriving music scene attending shows and booking bands in bars around the city's west end while attending art classes at the Dundas Valley School of Art. Wilson and Liss first met at the Dundas Valley School of Art where Wilson was hired to strum his guitar at a reception at the school.
DIL HILDEBRAND is an artist living and working in Montreal, and he is an MFA graduate of Concordia University, Montreal and has been awarded a number of distinguished grants and awards including the International Residency at Acme Studios, London UK (2013); the Canada Council for the Arts (2010, 2014); the Banff Centre Thematic Residency (2009); Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (2009) and was winner of the RBC National Painting Competition (2006). His work has been collected by major public institutions throughout Canada, including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Bank of the Canada Council, as well as numerous private and corporate collections throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. His collage-based approached allows the viewer to feel, see and interpret many things through his artistry.
PATRICK THIBERT began his education in chemical technology and then switched gears completely to become a renowned and highly-educated artist, with a BFA from the University of Windsor and his MFA from Florida State University. His work is known for its dimensionality, moving from abstract forms in his early career and evolving into more narrative forms, using symbols and metaphors. His sculptures have dealt with aspects of his life, using it as a springboard to developing news ways to present sculptural ideas. His hallmark is combining a variety of processes and materials to tell his story.
The ART GALLERY OF BURLINGTON is Burlington's art gallery and community art centre, a place of intersection where creators, cultures and communities converge. It presents many regional, national and international exhibitions a year, and is home to the world's largest collection of contemporary Canadian ceramics, as well as seven art and fine craft guilds. The AGB provides art and craft education programs and public tours for people of all ages, and spans over 44,000 square feet with seven fully equipped studios, three galleries, a one-of-a-kind gift shop, a sculpture courtyard and year-round conservatory. The AGB is proud to acknowledge that the land where it is located is part of the ancient Dish With One Spoon Treaty and also the Brant Tract Purchase, Treaty No. 3 3/4 of 1795, 1797 and 2010, and it is grateful to the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and the Six Nations of the Grand River for sharing this territory. The location of the Art Gallery of Burlington is one of the most stunning spots in all of Burlington, facing Lake Ontario in all of its turbulent glory.

Banfi was born in 1978 thanks to the will of the Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani. From the beginning the two brothers planned a large-scale project, integrating a quality wine production with a modern wine cellar with the aim of always maintaining the high quality level of the wines produced. Alongside the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of the greatest Italian winemakers, who immediately believes that due to the rich nature of the soil and the privileged microclimatic position, the territories acquired would have great potential for development. In those years, the brothers John and Harry also took over the historic Piedmontese wine company Bruzzone, active since 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, to make it the Piedmontese brand of the group, today Banfi Piemonte.
Conceived to preserve the integrity and richness of the grapes to the maximum, the winery now uses the most advanced technologies, the result of revolutionary technical experiments. It is in this philosophy, based on continuous research, that numerous projects created by the company are inserted among which the clonal selection studies of the Sangiovese, the searches on the wood, great protagonist in the process of refinement of the wine, and the realization of the new area of winemaking "Horizon". This last project, entirely conceived and developed within the company, consists of a series of measures and high-level solutions designed to improve every single step of the production process. The great work done in winemaking continues in the silence of the woods, where the great Banfi wines, mainly red, evolve and refine, over the years, their most distinctive characteristics of power, elegance and longevity. The more than 7000 barriques, arranged on orderly rows, and the large barrels, constitute the heart of Banfi, which palpitates in the silence and in the quiet of the nature that surrounds the Cellar.
