élevage wine tours & culinary adventures, serves visitors to the San Luis Obispo County and Santa Barbara County Wine Country. We invite you to join us for a day of wine tasting, food & fun here on California's beautiful Central Coast!
Adventures Out West's knowledgeable staff leads guided excursions throughout the Danish-style city of Solvang as visitors stroll along atop gyroscopic segways. Before riders take to the open road, an initial orientation teaches them the basics of gliding and how to earn the respect of their two-wheeled chariot with a few cracks of the whip. Once acquainted with their mechanical steeds, tourists follow their guides through the streets of Solvang, feasting their eyes on the town's unique architecture while listening to historical tidbits. Segways come to a halt at The Mission, so guests can learn about the early settlements founded by Catholic missionaries. The 90-minute jaunt reaches its sightseeing peaks at Santa Ynez River Sanctuary and Hans Christian Andersen Park, where guests can gawk at ancient oak trees and admire the sprightly pirouettes of age-old tumbleweeds.
The Spanish architecture. The bustling wharf. The cerulean ocean. There are countless sights to see in the Santa Barbara area, which is why Nanco Helicopters tailors each of their aerial tours to the client's need. Passengers take in the passing landmarks and 747 drag races from inside a Robinson R-44, helmed by commercial pilot Taylor Nancarrow.
When Brian McInerney reflects on the humble beginnings of Wheel Fun Rentals, Inc., he points to his childhood passion for bikes. "As far back as I can remember, I had a real love affair with bicycles," he recalls. During a trip to Italy in 1987, Brian's affinity for cycling blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when he spotted locals' transporter of choice, the surrey. Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft. Adventuresome athletes can also compete in activities such as surrey scavenger hunts and blindfold obstacle courses navigated via shouted instructions from a seeing teammate or exceptionally long rounds of trial and error.
Even while running the Studio Grill in Hollywood, Ardison Phillips committed himself as an artist and a winemaker as well as a restaurateur. He bolstered the grill's menu by adding his own private-label wines in 1976, and their popularity with diners inspired him to found McKeon-Phillips Winery in 1982.
The winery continues to embrace Ardison's legacy by crafting single-vineyard wines with the same dedication to approachable New- and Old-World flavors. Although the selection emphasizes Bordeaux-style wines, including single-varietal bottlings of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the current winemaker also experiments with robust Nebbiolo and silken Pinot Noir.
Besides creating crowd-pleasing wine, the staff also pays homage to Ardison Phillips's work as an artist by adorning each bottle with vibrant, impressionistic labels. The tasting room even functions as a gallery, featuring a rotating display of works by local artists and extraterrestrial postmodernists.
From its perch overlooking the Santa Maria Valley, Toretti Family Vineyard yields 500 cases of Pinot Noir ever year. That's been the standard since 2000, when winemaker Robert Torres first planted pinot grapes into his five-acre land. Today, his pinots treat palates to a blend of complex, fruity flavors, including sugar-glazed strawberries and toasted oak. Though the valley's wind, soil, and fog are an especially apt match for pinot, syrah, chardonnay, and a handful of other wines likewise bear the Toretti Family Vineyards label. Samples abound inside the estate's tasting room, at wine events throughout the year, and whenever you feel like using up a genie wish.

"Mormons are like manure. If you pile them altogether in one place, they just stink. But if you spread them around, they can do a lot of good."

Welcome to the team and welcome to SparkPeople, MONSOIA! Good luck getting the money for a job in Japan, and I wish you success with SparkPeople. Your plans sound so exciting!
I'll echo ANIME77: what kinds of jobs are there in Japan?
~ Pam
I wish you luck getting the money together and thanks for the info.
just curious what kind of jobs are there?
Team Leader of Punkpal Pen-pals
Well, most jobs in Japan you have to pay your own air fare, then you need about 2-3,000 for the fist month before you get paid. I have a lot of friends with jobs in Japan, and everyone has told me you need about that much for start up costs.
My favorite yaoi is manga by Naono Bohra. She has a unique style and interesting stories. She also often has Uke's who are older and taller than the Semes. ^_^ One good one of hers I can think of off hand is called 'denki' or 'electricity'.
I like Junjou Romantica too. I like Misaki the best.
Thanks for the Welcome!
Edited by: LAWRENCE2323 at: 5/24/2010 (10:40)
Hey there! Welcome to the team! I an a fan of Japanese culture as well! This is a pretty quiet bunch of people, but if you have any questions, or need anything don't hesitate to ask!

Hi new person my name's Eliza nice to meet you.
very curious why do you need 3,00 minimum to get a job in japan???
Junjo Romatica is my favorite yaoi whats your's?
Best wishes
Team Leader of Punkpal Pen-pals
Hello! I am new to Spark People, and because Japan is such a big part of my life thought I should be in a team where we can talk about it.
I was a Japanese major in college, lived there for about 8 months with host family. I just graduated June 2009 and am trying to make my way back to Japan. I'm very poor so the 3,000 minimum I need to get a job there is quite a challenge! I also do not want to be over weight when I go back to Japan. I've found being a 'fat person' in America is quite different from being one in Japan!
I have varying interested in Japan, from classic stuff to anime. I have the biggest interest in Japanese literature, feminism, and Boys Love (Yaoi).
Thanks for making this group!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Twins have selected shortstop Nick Gordon with their first-round draft pick, adding a player with big-league bloodlines.
The 6-foot-2, 170-pound Gordon was taken Thursday with the fifth overall selection. He's the son of Tom Gordon, who spent 21 years in the majors as a pitcher for eight teams, and the brother of Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon, baseball's leader in steals.
Gordon played for Olympia High School in Orlando, Florida, batting .494 with 10 doubles, two triples, five home runs, 27 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 99 plate appearances as a senior. Gordon says he wants to pattern his game after New York Yankees stalwart Derek Jeter.
Baseball America magazine ranked Gordon's arm as the best among all infield prospects this year.

I want to know if there are any other car guys, even if you might just have a passive interest. Are there any fans of car shows here, and if so, what ones do you check out?
Some of you know that I like classic cars, namely American. The two shows I usually try to go to are the Super Chevy Show and the Good Guys Rod & Custom show. Good Guys is filled with a number of hot rods, rat rods, customs out the wazoo, a bunch of restorations, and usually has well over 1000 cars attend.
The Super Chevy Show is, of course, Chevy-only, whether it's a Chevy car or a car by another manufacturer that sports a Chevy engine. What's cool about this show is that they also drag race on the strip, seeing as out here, the show takes place at Firebird in Chandler, AZ (Good Guys is at Westworld of Scottsdale, where they also have the Barret-Jackson auction).
I have also been to free-to-the-public shows/gatherings, which are pretty cool as well.

Evo-stik Northern Premier League First Division South
Posted: March 19, 2014|
Evo-Stik Northern Premier League First Division South
Rainworth Miners Welfare 0 Leek Town 5
BLUES rained on Wrens' parade with a five-star performance to finally overcome their bogey side, crushing them with consummate ease.
In doing so, Leek avenged their only home league defeat of the season – ironically, at the hands of the Nottinghamshire club, who won in the last minute through Ashley Longstaff at Harrison Park earlier in the season.
Leek had never won at Kirklington Road but they destroyed Rainworth in a devastating opening half, netting no fewer than four times without reply.
The Wrens made more of a game of it in the second half but Blues added a fifth with around 10 minutes remaining, while Ben Chapman in the Leek goal was a virtual spectator.
After the game, Blues' boss Lee Casswell said: "I'm obviously delighted that we laid a ghost to rest after some bad times at Rainworth.'
"We had a great start, with a tremendous strike from Niall, before stretching our lead with a John Johnston header midway through the half.
"As half-time approached, I said to Matt [Beeby] we were worth more going into the break, when up popped Jordan and Shells (Dan Shelley) with two more in quick succession.
"It was a great team performance – arguably our best of the season so far – but there are going to be some ups and downs between now and the end of the season.
"Referees rarely get much praise but I'd just like to commend the referee Paul Vardy, from Sheffield, for his handling of the game – he's the best referee we've had all season."
Casswell enjoyed the luxury of naming the same starting line-up that beat Brigg comfortably last time out and they went on to dominate in all parts of the field, despite a gusting, swirling wind that made it difficult to judge the flight of the ball.
Leek survived an early scare when Ryan Dicker's miskick almost let in Rainworth's giant striker Longstaff in the opening minute.
However, Blues were soon into their stride and in the third minute, Johnson crossed into the box where the keeper failed to hold. A defender only half cleared and the ball was played back into the area, where John Johnston poked a shot wide of the target.
Leek took the lead with a stunning strike in the ninth minute when Johnson drove a corner to the edge of the area where Niall MaGuire struck a stunning volley high into the net that gave the keeper no chance.
In the 15th minute, Leek broke up a Rainworth attack and played the ball forward for Tim Grice, who raced goalwards, only for diminutive midfielder Jack Hargreaves to block the shot.
In the 27th minute, Johnston went on a probing run down the right to whip a cross into the area but again there was no-one near enough to turn the ball home.
At this stage, the home side began to threaten but when Johnston got on the end of a good Leek move at the other end in the 33rd minute, his effort was ruled out by the offside flag.
Two minutes later, Rainworth were rocked back on their heels when Leek doubled their lead after Johnson was brought down by Saunders. The referee played the advantage, leaving Grice to cross from the left, and the ball sat up nicely for Johnston to get round the back and nod the ball home.
In the 36th minute, Blues almost increased their lead when a good ball over the top found Grice, who turned into the box – but his angled shot was pulled down by Martin, although he knew little of it.
Rainworth won a free kick in the 43rd minute when Blues were expecting a foul on Ant Danylyk to be given in their favour – but Hargreaves fired way over from 25 yards out.
On the stroke of half-time, Leek opened up a three-goal gap when Jordan burst into the box to drive a shot under the keeper for his 31st goal of the season.
Two minutes into added time, Shelley repeated the act, slicing through the home defence to beat Martin with a crisp effort from close range – and Leek were out of sight.
Play was held up in the 58th minute whilst Karl Espley and Rainworth's Jason Gregory received treatment for a clash of heads.
Leek continued to push forward and in the 65th minute, Johnston and Dan Smith combined to set up Grice, who had two shots charged down.
With substitutes coming on thick and fast, the game lost some of its impetus but within nine minutes of coming on, Andy Kinsey was celebrating after turning his marker on the edge of the box and then drilling an unstoppable shot high into the net.
Rainworth's only chance of the game came in the 81st minute, when a dangerous low cross came in from the left.
However, Chapman went down smartly at the foot of the near post to claim the ball.
With a five-goal cushion and seeming victory in the bag, Blues drove forward and a minute later, Grice blasted a great shot goalwards – but the keeper pulled off an equally good save.
In the 82nd minute, Smith hoisted a free kick into the area and Kinsey saw his shot blocked by the keeper before Grice pounced on the loose ball – only for Martin to make yet another equally good save.
Shortly before full-time, Shelley drove in a 22-yard free kick that failed to trouble the overworked keeper – but Blues had already achieved a comprehensive victory that keeps them on course for at least a play-off place.
Rainworth: Martin, Gregory (Williams 70), Dudley, Shaw, Saunders, Edridge, Magee (Coupe 23), Longstaff, Hawkins, Whitman. Subs not used: Rogers, Rickards, Clarke.
Leek Town: Chapman, Smith, Bell, Dicker (Bratt 70), Espley, MaGuire, Danylyk (Hall 64), Shelley, Grice, Jordan Johnson, John Johnston (Kinsey 70). Subs not used: Donnelly.
Attendance: 73 Man-of-the-match: Tim Grice.

Will the Healthnet mtg include what will hAppen IF Obama"care" isn't stopped? Fewer seniors is one of the goals. And is this the same Healthnet who denied a woman breast cancer treatment (experimental)--she died--but approved the SAME treTment for a Healthnet secretary who survived? Playing God?
on Sep 21, 2011 at 10:07 am
I remember the Healthnet denial story. The dead woman was a young mom with 2 kids. Shame. Also no local congress people have signed house resolution 615 which would require THEY give up their private federal medical coverage and accept "obamacare"....gee no takers??

Green and Schoepf pen Bayern deals
U.S.-born Julian Green and Austria youth international Alessandro Schoepf have been praised as "huge talents" by Bayern Munich sporting director Matthias Sammer after they committed to professional deals.
• Schaaf: Bayern break records
Green, 18, has scored 15 goals in 17 appearances for Bayern's reserves, who top the fourth-tier Bavarian Regional League, and has now committed his future to the club until 2017. Schoepf, meanwhile, has signed until 2016.
"Alessandro and Julian are two huge talents who have what it takes to make it in the professional game," Sammer said on the club's official website. "We're delighted these junior internationals have committed to FC Bayern. In turn, the professional contracts are the reward for their ambition and excellent performances in our second team."
Green was born in Tampa to an American father and a German mother and was recently labelled "a tremendous talent" by USMNT boss Juergen Klinsmann.
He has already represented Germany at under-19 level, but was invited to link up with Klinsmann's squad for the upcoming friendlies against Scotland and Austria, despite currently being ineligible to play.
However, he told Bild: "I feel honoured by the USA invitation, but it came too early. I have not made my final decision on whether to play for Germany or USA yet. That issue is still not settled."
