2 Left feeling bewildered...Posted: 13/10/2009Bought this as I am a big Hugh Jackman fan, but to be totally honest, I am still wondering what on earth the storyline was! Aside from the obvious relationship in the current time, the flash backs and flash forwards etc are totally 'out there'. I didn't not enjoy it, but I also wouldn't know who to recommend this to as it's so bizarre. Well acted and visually pleasing, but nonsensical.
4 Cheap, fun, funky and lightPosted: 13/08/2009With an array of colours to choose aside from this colour which I bought, this watch is very simple to look at (and read the time), very light, you hardly feel its there. Great for when you are are constantly on a keyboard at work like me as the strap doesn't dig into your wrist underneath. Was worried at first it was too small but it does stretch to go over your fist and then sits nicely on your wrist. Great buy for the summer and funky looking!
4 Bargain, Definitely recommend highly...Posted: 30/07/2009Fantastic graphics, great playability, makes a nice change to PGR and all the cars really do handle differently.For £10 you really can't go wrong if you are a fan of racing games, smash ups are great and the damage is realistic enough to affect your drivability. Well worth the money.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Uncaged Edition Xbox 360 2 New from £11.89 Free delivery Available used from £6.37
4 Great Graphics, Addictive, Highly Enjoyable.Posted: 27/05/2009We since owning this game I have not put it down. Although as previous reviewers have mentioned the Big Baddies and playable moves are all very samey I have still found it enjoyable. The sound and graphics are great, and if you are a Wolverine fan then this game is fab. I would definetly recommend it. Downside I would say is the repetitiveness of the styles of villans you need to beat and the same moves required to beat them. Also there are variety of moves for Wolverine but you need only 3 and keep using them to beat. This is where I think it could be improved, but that is where the next installment will better I hope (should there be one!)
Guitar Hero: On Tour - Decades (with Guitar Grip) Nintendo DS 9 New from £4.88 Free delivery Available used from £3.20
3 Game brill controller not that greatPosted: 22/05/2009I love the GH series have 2 and 3 and World Tour on the Xbox 360, thought I would like the DS version, the game is good fun and typical of the series, but I was not that happy with the controller grip. Found I couldn't grip it well without twisting my wrist which wasn't the most comfortable after a while and it had a habit of the grip popping out of the slot. If they changed the way the grip worked then I would recommend it.
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Nintendo Wii 9 New from £15.06 Free delivery Available used from £9.21
4 Brilliant, totally addictive! Gr8 buy for £18Posted: 03/11/2008Having not played any of the lego franchise I has my eye on this game for a while and the price PLAY has it for is a bargain.SO many levels as it's the complete saga, great fun to play solo or with a bud. Totally addictive, since delivery I am playing this non-stop. If you are a Star Wars fan or not, this is a really playable game. Graphics are ok, I wasn't expecting to be amazed as its a Wii game not a 360 and it's lego, so it's all in jest.Good fun for a good price.
2 Not bad, not greatPosted: 16/07/2008I had been wanting to see this film for ages but I was disappointed in the end. it wasn't as funny as the American Pie series (baring the last one as that was dire!) but trying to capitalise on that humour. I found some of the language in this a bit O.T.T to the point where it actually put me off the film as it wasn't funny as it no doubt was meant to be.Not one I would rush and and buy.
2 Great size etc. unfortunately adapters needed againPosted: 07/06/2008I bought this card reader as I thought it was a great price and it listed that it could read the San Disc M2 cards.Unlike the blurb on the same makes D-014 model this one didn't specify like most other readers it needs adapters to read the smaller cards.Once arrived I saw this also needed adapters, so again I am still without a reader that can read it all without having to buy other extras.Has a nice gold plated USB connector and is a good size, but for a reader that does all the basic sizes like most, you could get one even cheaper.You'll need an adapter if you have the following cards:MMC 4.0, MMC PLUS, MMC Mobile/DV RS-MMC, MMC Mini, MMC Micro, RS MMC, RSMMC 4.0/SecureMMCCF XS, CF Elite ProSD Elite Pro, SD XS, Mini-SD, Mini-SD Ultra II, Mini-SD Ultra II MobileMS-PRO HG, MS-PRO DUO RAPID GX, MS-MICRO M2
4 Brilliant read, real insight to how the others may livePosted: 17/03/2008For those unfamiliar with the arranged marriage scenarios and what horrid things women are subjected too at times, this book will make you laugh, cry and feel useless at times to prevent these atrocities. Even though this is fictional, is it as true an account as can happen.Khaled Housseini is truly a gifted writer and I look forward to the next ones!
4 Couldn't put it down! Well written, captivatingPosted: 17/03/2008I have yet to see the film and don't know if i will end up seeing it, as this book painted so many vivid pictures in my mind, I couldn't put it down.Interesting to read how the changes in Afghanistan would've affected the people living there and how friendships are tested and triumphed.Went straight onto to reading A Thousand Splendid Suns which was also fantastic. A great writer.

Thank you for publishing Norm Stamper's letter regarding ending prohibition. It's been disheartening for me to witness mass-media complicity in the abetting of the USA's greatest public-policy failure of the past 100 years, but morsels like this and other activity in recent months gives me hope.
"Your article on packaging wine in cartons used logic and science that is too clever by half."
What a ridiculous sentence. The article writer, as per usual in this newspaper, used nothing but straight facts reported from a real scientific study (peculiarly, because they are facts, they cannot be denied). The correspondent made no false claims about glass or carton packaging- indeed, the entire point of the article is that carton packaging may be able to alter a wine's contents in POSITIVE rather than negative ways.
Stating that glass doesn't influence the content of the wine is both obvious and in any case corollary to the article's point, not contradictory (although cork is shown to have some effect). The letter writer appears to be exactly one of the 'snobs' the correspondent refers to in the opening, and contributes nothing useful next to his own very snobbish opinion.
Sir, Mr Rober Ingle, in his letter for Parthenon marbles presented us his strange position that marbles belong to Turkey and he based this on historical facts!!!What it seems he lost from history books is that neither Turkey or Turks were existed when marbles were produced.
A secod point which someone can underline is that museums are not used to exibite stolen items like the certain marbles are.
With yet another headliner about a "coup" in Hondurous, will the editor finally clarify the true news, which is a lawful regime change due to misconduct of the incumbent. It is distressing to see your venerable news agency lose their sense of accuracy regarding a critical develpment in Latin America- the rejection of Chavez & Castro jingoism and socialism.

A bunch of video-related products have launched recently, including Easy Sketch Pro 2 and VideoMakerFX. Now Explaindio Video Creator is launching on 11 November, and it looks like it might contain all the features of the other two video creators combined. I've tested it out, and in this Explaindio review I'll cover all its features, and how it compares to Easy Sketch Pro 2 and VideoMakerFX.
What Is Explaindio?
Explaindio has a weird name, but it's a pretty cool video creator software for both Mac and PC, brought to us by Nick LaPolla, Todd Gross, and Andrew Darius. Todd Gross has been behind some of the most successful launches in the video marketing industry this year, and Nick LaPolla is the creator of Simple Video Pro 2, which I reviewed previously on this blog.

DEFINITION of 'India ETF'
An exchange-traded fund that is based on a basket of securities listed on various exchanges in India. India ETFs aim to capture the major sectors of the Indian economy by owning a diversified mix of major companies that represent the majority of the total market capitalization of the Indian economy.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'India ETF'
India has become a burgeoning economy with specific proficiency in knowledge-based sectors such as information technology, financials and healthcare. India ETFs carry a higher expense ratio than most domestic funds, but it should be noted that administrative costs will typically be higher when international investments are involved due to increased exchange costs and brokerage fees for trading on an international exchange.

Napa Puts the "Happy" in the Holidays 17 Dec 2014, 7:50 am
Oftentimes in life it's the unpleasant things that can lead to breakthroughs in other areas. Take this year's Napa Valley earthquake for example.
The chaos and fear experienced that morning led to relief and a renewed sense of community in its aftermath; a deeper appreciation of what can oftentimes be taken for granted.
The rebuilding process carries with it the seeds of change. Oftentimes, those changes can lead to an increased sense of happiness which comes from regenerating and rebuilding. New environments mean new opportunities and nowhere in Napa is this more evident than in downtown.
The nexus of change these past few decades has been centered in downtown, the emergence of the Oxbow district leading the way in revitalizing an often overlooked district.
Then the restaurants came, Oenotri, Morimoto, and Ubuntu to name a few, bringing the type of world-class fare to downtown people had come to expect when dining up-valley.
The recent earthquake rattled Oenotri somewhat, but no extensive damage was done. Morimoto experienced no problems and continues to anchor the refurbished riverfront area, particularly in the wake of the recent closure of Fish Story down the street.
Ubuntu closed its doors a couple years ago, but its departure has created space for the new Torc, Celtic for "Boar," using the animal's theme of 'representing both the principles of hospitality and feasting and the skills of hunting and war,' as their philosophy.
Where Ubuntu was all about vegetables, Chef Sean O'Toole has made Torc about omnivore essentials prepared exquisitely. They recently received their liquor license and O'Toole promptly hired bartender – not mixologist – but bartender Corey Harrison to deliver classic cocktails with a modern twist.
The space has always been alluring, but with the combination of O'Toole's cooking and a classic cocktail now available, it's irresistible.
Longtime downtown stronghold and local's favorite Zuzu Tapas has weathered the economic storms of the past few decades and now owner Mick Salyer continues his love-affair with Spanish cuisine by opening La Taberna, just three doors down from Zuzu at 815 Main Street.
La Taberna seems as if it was created with Ernest Hemingway's classic short story A Clean, Well-Lighted Place in mind: the comings and goings of a busy downtown, all inhaling and exhaling to the rhythms of late night among the most comforting food — and of course a sublime beverage to put oneself in the proper mood for watching the drama of life unfold.
Inspired by the Pintxo bars of northern Spain, La Taberna is "a modern take on a classic Spanish tavern. Embracing the natural bounty of northern California in a wide array of Latin-infused flavors, La Taberna is the place to enjoy honest good food and drink. Have a quick bite and a cocktail or linger with friends for a full meal paired with a bottle of wine."
My last professional gig in Napa was Maître'd for a lunch with a few lucky winners of a Napa Valley Opera House auction, as well as the musicians of the film soundtrack La Vie En Rose who'd performed the night before at the Opera House and hosted by the estimable Margrit Mondavi.
Chef Ken Frank of La Toque cooked in the private home of Opera House Board Members, while I served and poured the copious wines in the dining room and the attendees conversed in French.
What the lunch made me realize, was how dialed in the Opera House is into the roots of Napa.
So when founder of the iconic Knitting Factory, one of New York's longest running music venues, Michael Dorf opened City Winery in the Opera House, I knew it was bound to become something special.
Saturday, September 20th, Dorf's City Winery hosts VOENA, "a captivating, multi-cultural, world music experience that redefines "choir" the way Cirque du Soleil redefines "circus." Over 140 children from ages 6-18 to celebrate music through voice, sound, rhythm and movement. Singing in over 23 languages, VOENA has performed around the globe bringing their message to unite the world with children's voices."
Also this winter, City Winery will bring the enigmatic Portland Cello Project (or, PCP, as their fans affectionately call them) on January 28th.
According to City Winery Press, "The group has built a reputation mixing genres and blurring musical lines and perceptions wherever they go. No two shows are alike, with a repertoire now numbering over 1,000 pieces of music both expected and unexpected to come from a cello. "
A perfect evening would begin with dinner at Torc – a few doors down from the Opera House – followed by the show, perhaps a nightcap, and then back to the Candlelight for a serene night's sleep.
One of the businesses that sustained considerable damage in the quake was the hip neighborhood wine bar Carpe Diem. There's a happy ending to the story, though, as they're the perfect example of the aforementioned theme of "unpleasant things leading to breakthrough's in other areas," they recently moved into the Oxbow Market for a pop-up concept that features their famous Quack and Cheese, Steamed Bun Pork 'Taco' with hoisin glaze and house made kim chi, not to mention their house-crafted Aftershock IPA on draft – and – here's the kicker – they're the only restaurant in the Oxbow with a liquor license!
Inside tip is to show up on Tuesday's "local's night" and see how the people who wait on you, pour you wine and check you in eat and celebrate. You will not be sorry.
Although downtown is alive with energy and continues to grow, it's important not to overlook up-valley and all there is. This winter seems to be all about happiness in the valley. Whether that comes from knowing one of the biggest quakes that will ever be felt has passed, or just a sign of the times is unclear, however, the result is a felicitous feeling from check-in, to check out.
With one of the most sustainable spreads in the valley, all-organic Long Meadow Ranch presents an old-world experience in a modern context, producing wine, olive oil, organic vegetables and grass-fed beef for Chef Stephen Barber's no-nonsense, but ever so flavorful food.
I first came to know Barber's cooking through the Michelin – recommended Barber's Q in the Whole Foods parking lot in Napa; a true local's place.
Long Meadow Ranch's New Year's Eve Party promises to be an opportunity to truly unwind and relax in the rustic chic environment of the place and enjoy Barber's four-course family-style prix-fixe dinner menu, Long Meadow Ranch Wines, excellent cocktails and festive live music. (Reservations available by phone at (707) 963-9181 or online @ www.longmeadowranch.com/Farmstead/Restaurant.)
The Restaurant at the Meadowood Resort is a hidden gem up-valley that recently maintained its third Michelin Star in this year's list along with Thomas Keller's French Laundry.
Thirty-eight year old Chef Christopher Kustow has brought vision and world-class execution to the secluded and posh Relais & Chateaux spot which hosts the annual Napa Valley Wine Auction. Service is perfect, and each dish shines in its own right, using the best of local fare in a masterful way.
This year is the seventh Kustow will present Meadowood's annual 12 Days of Christmas, a showcase of the best culinary talent the world has to offer, as visiting chefs from around the globe strive to create their best in Kustow's technological marvel of a kitchen in one day.
Among Chef's the event has quietly become a cult legend. It's opulent – and costly – but if you've ever wanted to truly know what a world-class, memorable meal is all about…this is your ticket.
Kustow will cook the last evening, December 20th, and I'd imagine he'd want to reclaim his space in the kitchen – should be unparalleled dining.
This winter's line-up of music and food in Napa seem particularly joyous. The candles are burning bright throughout the valley, the sense of regeneration and appreciation genuine.
At the Candlelight, you can ask Sam or Scott to arrange anything for you, and they'll cheerfully accomplish the task. That alone should put a big smile on your face.

The Bedrock of Napa 21 Sep 2014, 7:51 am
Sunday, August 24th, 2014 will go down in infamy in the history of the Napa Valley.
The magnitude 6.0 earthquake that rocked the area early that morning left an indelible mark on the fabric of downtown in the form of crumbling brick facades, broken wine bottles and toppled stacks of barrels.
The blue-collar downtown area that's home to the multitudes that work in customer service was one of the hardest hit. Wineries in the Oak Knoll area, close to town also reported serious damage, as did the emerging downtown nexus of high-caliber eateries. A state of emergency was declared. Several buildings downtown were red tagged as uninhabitable, forcing the businesses within to go on hiatus.
Napa historically is incredibly resilient, bouncing right back after a lengthy prohibition era, numerous fires, shrinking water levels, and an occasionally soft Napa Valley wine market. The resiliency of late comes in part from the community-centered growth around the farm to table movement and its affiliated surge in local production.
Vineyard land has increasingly been re-purposed for farming or cattle, its produce going directly to Napa's restaurants and Farmer's Markets, diversifying the areas offerings and spreading risk. Napa also seems keen to rekindle its deep agricultural roots, if only to meet the growing need for fresh farm to table fare.
The migrant work force that tends the thousands of vineyard
acres and mans numerous restaurant kitchens were undoubtedly hit
hardest economically by the earthquake. Their contribution and
significance are duly recognized in Napa, though; as the community
is aware they are vital to its success.
To that end, The Napa Valley Vintners, among others, created the
Napa Valley Community Disaster Relief Fund, with the Vintner's
generously donating $10 million
to assist in the needs of the community and to ease the
suffering of those hardest hit.
Napa's bucolic charm is undeniable. It's a part of the world whose natural beauty alone make it worthy of a visit, but it's the twin industries of Wine and Food that have cemented Napa's place as a world-class destination in the twenty-first century.
The people that comprise this work force are the heart and soul of Napa. The level of service in Napa has always set it apart from other destinations and it's the sheer determination of this workforce which went into action immediately in the wake of the quake to right the ship.
As they do any other day, they quietly and efficiently got down
to the business of
cleaning-up the mess and reaching out to those fellow workers in
need. While Napa may be one of the largest tourist draws in the
world, at heart it's just like any other small town that operates
on trust, neighborliness, and community pride.
Still, the good intentions were only the beginning of the process. After the clean-up, there was the problem of assessing where to go from there. Silicon Valley Bank was recently commissioned by Napa County and the Napa Valley Vintner's to assess the damage of the quake. Their conservative estimate was $80 million for the town of Napa, $400 million countywide.
Their assessment included damage to winery buildings and
infrastructure such as waste water ponds and private bridges, wine
making equipment, cleanup and removal costs, vineyard irrigation,
bottled inventory in current release, bottling supplies, finished
inventory ready for bottling, bulk wine, barrels, lost revenue from
damaged tasting rooms, losses from business interruption, and loss
of wine held in wine libraries.
The funds will help get Napa back on its feet and, indeed it already is business as usual in Napa. There may be a few cosmetic reminders, and of course the memories of those that lived through the quake will always be there, but for the most part Napa's bedrock of community and partnership remains undeterred.
Every business and region goes through a periodic shakedown, or rough patch, it's how they react to it that dictates what the place is made of and how they'll come through it. In Napa, you'll find the response to the challenge has been a reminder to the world that a first-class destination is built from the ground up, ready for any circumstance, and built to last. Come and see for yourself.
Mountain to River in Napa 18 Jun 2014, 12:36 pm
Summertime in Napa is all about keeping cool. After the morning fog burns off, the heat can oftentimes reach the 100's, causing visitors and locals alike to scramble for shade and a cool beverage.
Generally, Napa's got the 'cool beverage' part covered in spades and can offer a dizzying array of beer and white and sparkling wines to that end. The 'keeping cool' portion is a bit trickier and often means staying inside the dark, deep caves of a winery or the confines of a well air-conditioned tasting-room.
But what do you do when you want to be out in the stunning Napa landscape, enjoying its natural beauty and stunning vistas?
For one, get up early…. if you can make it to Ritual Coffee Roasters by 7:30 a.m., then great. Your effort will be well-rewarded by some of the best coffee in Northern California. Ritual started in San Francisco in 2005 and since then has cemented itself into Nor-Cal coffee lore. Their centralized location in the Oxbow district and Market along the Napa River make it the ideal spot to begin your journey.
Now that your caffeinated and ready to go, head out to Skyline Park and be one of the first to get in when they open (5$ per vehicle) at 8:00 a.m.
If you're an avid hiker, there's a collection of trails at your disposal to get a strenuous workout that can push ten miles and have elevation gains/losses in the thousand foot category. The reservoir at the top of the mountain provides shade and a cool breeze on a hot day and is a great spot to have a picnic.
If you're just looking for a space to chill out, then Skyline's got you covered as well. There's no better spot in Napa to sit back and relax, or take a leisurely stroll than the Martha Walker Garden at the entrance to the park. The Garden is home to the Napa Valley Chapter of the California Native Plant Society and has several environments within its three acres, including Redwood Forest, Oak Woodlands and Chaparral.
Your ideal Napa Summer's day begins in this case with the
aforementioned visit to Ritual, yet sticking around and enjoying
your coffee there until it's time for the Fatted
Calf to open up just outside the Market proper ( Mon. –
Sat. 9am, Sun. 10am).
Within the confines of the tiny butcher's-sized space of Fatted Calf, lie some of the best hand-made charcuterie, sausages, fresh meat, sandwiches and salads the Bay Area has to offer.
I first got turned on to them at the Berkeley Farmer's Market in around 2007, and several years later when working at the Oxbow Market, was fortunate enough to have them open up right behind where I was at.
Co-owner Taylor Boetticher and his crew used to saddle up to my bar after a long day creating their magic and I got a first-hand sense of how hard they worked, and also how down-to earth the guy is.
His shop is stacked with all you'll need for that long picnic later at the Martha Walker Garden, and later that day as you're lying in the shade, stuffed, you'll be content with being wise enough to follow this advice.
On the way back into town, stop into the Oxbow again and if happens to be a Tuesday, stick around for Local's Night, it'll give one a true sense of what life's like in town.
If you're an Oyster lover, you would want to stop at the Hog Island Oyster Company and partake. There's an a rray of the best Oysters available in American waters, including Sand Isle Kumamoto, Hog Island Sweetwater and Salt Pond from Point Judith Pond, RI , as well as great beer and excellent white wines that pair perfectly available.
The bar is generally hopping and packed with interesting faces, or you can chill out on the back deck that overlooks the Napa River, which oftentimes casts a breeze around sunset that'll help cool you.
If you happen to be lucky enough to be staying at the Candlelight and enjoyed the advice given herein, ask Scott or Sam for a similar day, and they'll hook you up.
*** For the adventurous woman with a Culinary bent,
Fatted Calf is offering its Pig + Woman + Knife
course that has participants breaking down a whole hog into its
primary parts, prepare roasts and other porcine delights. The class
is taught by women for women and is being offered on July

Springtime Brews Up New Vistas 22 Mar 2014, 8:21 am
In the Wine Country
Every weekday about a quarter past five throughout the Napa Valley local bars start to fill up with thirsty vineyard workers who order…beer.
While it may seem strange that beer be flowing freely in Napa, the truth is that beer has serious roots in the area, starting with San Francisco's Anchor Steam in the 70's, Sonoma's New Albion in 1976, and the Sacramento delta region before that in the early 19th century.
Today, beer is all about choices. Microbreweries have embraced small-scale production of seasonally -themed products that reflect the local flavor of the area produced in, resulting in differing styles to please any palate.
For Wine Country brewers, the farm to table ethos that's part of the local culture factors heavily into their approach, and indeed may be the reason for the region's unparalleled success. This way of preferring quality over quantity has underscored the history of beer in the region since the outset, and indeed was the impetus for the movement, as it sought to create its own distinct way of micro-brewing.
Although Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing Company was born in the wine country of Temecula,Ca., he's always had the beer bug, teaching himself to homebrew when he was 18 in the basement of his parents Cilurzo Family Vineyards.
A couple years after he began that first batch in the winery basement he met his future wife and business partner, Natalie and they've been together since. The success of the business relied on what the other brought to the table, and based on the numerous awards they consistently garner, they seemed to have found a perfect marriage in every sense of the word.
Although Vinnie's known for his consistently impressive beers, it's his homage to the first century, scholar, writer, naturalist and historian Pliny the Elder in the form of a double I.P.A. that's put him and tiny Russian River Brewing Company at the forefront of America's craft beer renaissance.
Upping the ante, Russian River released the now infamous Pliny the Younger, named after the aforementioned Pliny's nephew and biographer of the same name.
A triple I.P.A., the Younger has nearly triple the amount of hops as regular I.P.A. and is rather difficult to make. It's full bodied and complex, yet delicately smooth. Its limited-amount release each year creates a ruckus at the brewery, as a crowd has taken to gathering outside like waiting to get tickets to a sell-out concert.
This year 15,000 people were served the Younger in the one-week period it was offered at the Brewery, some waiting 12 hours in a rare storm to do so. The beer's reputation grows yearly, and yet the Cilurzo's and Russian River seem to take it in stride, keeping their noses to the grindstone and continuing to innovate in what's become a uniquely Californian way.
One innovation that rapidly is becoming a trademark move for Cilurzo is his use of wine barrels for aging beer. It's not a random process, but one that's been fleshed out over the years, using specific used wine barrels with specific beers. In his Temptation, he uses Chardonnay, in the Supplication Pinot Noir, and in the Consecration, used Cabernet Sauvignon Barrels.
These beers can be chemically dynamic and unstable to work with, so they require a great deal of attention, yet the resulting product is incomparable. Like wine, they're made for the cellar and Cilurzo believes they can easily age up to five years.
Meanwhile…back in the Valley…
Oftentimes, I find that at the end of a long day wine tasting, (p.s., to try and do more than three in-depth tastings a day is insanity), there's nothing better than a cold beer.
The crispness and bubbles seem to reinvigorate my palate and are often the perfect beginning to a meal.
Downtown Napa has plenty of options, and Downtown Joe's has stood the test of time, with the brewery being established in 1988 by Chuck Ankeny, great grandson to Adolph Hamms of Milwaukee. It was officially christened Downtown Joe's in 1993. Ale is the name of the game here, with seasonal options constantly available. Ask your bartender what's new. You won't be disappointed.
Out and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, at the gateway to Napa where infamous Hwy. 29 meets Hwy. 12 from the East, Napa Smith Brewery is producing award-winning beers from craft-brewing legend, Don Barkley.
Don began in 1978 at the hallowed New Albion Brewing Company as Master Brewer and his pedigree shows in these organically produced marvels. He manages to produce a variety of beers, and is at home creating a hoppy I.P.A., or Ginger Wheat that will make sushi a special treat, or add an exotic flair to fish tacos.
These are just a few of the options available on your visit to Napa. If you somehow manage to get through this list during your stay and want more suggestions, don't hesitate to ask Scott or Sam at the Candlelight. They won't steer you wrong.

Saint Patrick's Day 7 Mar 2014, 5:20 pm
The young man who would become St Patrick was born to wealthy parents who were not particularly religious, in Britain near the end of the 4th Century. He died March 17 about 460 AD.

Light, Oakland, CA.

At the age of 16, he was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family's estate. They took him to Ireland, where he spent 6 years in captivity, some say at Mount Slemish in county Antrim. But more likely, he became a shepherd in county Mayo near Killala.
As a shepherd, outdoors, lonely and afraid, he turned to religion, becoming a devout Christian and probably at this time first thought of converting the Irish to Christianity. It was at this time that he heard God's voice telling him to return to Britain. He escaped after more than 6 years, and walked nearly 200 miles from County Mayo to the coast.
Back in Britain, he immersed himself in religious studies for about 15 years. During this time, he again heard God's voice telling him to return to Ireland with a two-fold mission. To minister to the Christians already there and begin to convert the Irish who were celebrating with their own pagan rituals.
When he was ordained as a priest, he returned to Ireland to begin his work. Working with the non-Christians, he also let them continue some of their pagan celebrations such as worshiping the Sun.
It is also thought that he illustrated the Holy Trinity – The Father, the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit – through the 3 leaves of the native Irish Clover, the Shamrock.
Surprisingly, the first St. Patrick's Day parade was held not in Ireland, but in New York City. On March 17, 1762, Irish soldiers in the British Army marched through the City!
Now, each year on that date, nearly 1½ million people line the 1½-mile parade route that takes about 5 hours. Other cities, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Savanna, and San Francisco, among them, also hold parades.
Here in Napa, the Irish and those who would be Irish for the day, celebrate with a traditional meal of Corned beef and Cabbage, along with a Guinness Beer….
Be sure to check Hurley's Bar and Grill for a delightful
traditional meal this St. Patrick's Day. Check out the

Napa Valley's Other Refreshing Beverage 2 Jan 2014, 3:13 pm
A basic history of Chocolate
The Aztecs created a beverage called "chocolatl", a
healing drink that was also used for special ceremonies. They would
ferment the cacao beans, dry and grind them, and sweeten them with
honey and native spices to make this refreshing
For additional history information about
The Making of Chocolate
All the chocolate made for consumption worldwide
starts with the cacao bean which comes from pods of the cacao tree
(Theobromo Cacao). The seeds are fermented, sun-dried, may be

The 12 Feasts of Christmas 19 Dec 2013, 6:16 pm
What do you get when you combine world famous chefs, The Restaurant at Meadowood, and Napa Valley's top wine makers? Twelve chef-vintner combinations creating unique holiday meals that will sate the harshest of critic and raise money for charity.
Meadowood's The 12 Days of Christmas 2013 is expanding its international influence from last year with a new set of chefs and vintners – proving that different can be equally amazing.
This year's 12 Days begins on December 6th and extends to the 21st. Participating chefs include: Rodolfo Guzman of Boragó, Santiago, Chile; Chef Ashley Christensen from Poole's Diner, Raleigh, NC; Rasmus Kofoed from Geranium, Copenhagen, Denmark; and David Kinch of Manresa, Los Gatos, CA. The 2013 wineries include: SCRIBE Winery, Checkerboard Vineyards, Antinori Family Estate, and Harlan Estate.
If you want to experience an expanded menu and the action of the kitchen, a limited number of Chef's Counter tickets are available for each meal.
In the true spirit of the season, Meadowood is donating $2000 in honor of each chef as well as 20%of all dinner tickets sold. The Holly Cranston Memorial Fund and the Napa Emergency Women's Services will share the donation evenly.
By providing both financial support and guidance, the Holly Cranston Memorial Fund (HCMF) focuses on helping local children with disabilities and their families. Primarily, HCMF targets families with needs not currently met by traditional sources of support.
The mission of Napa Emergency Women's Services (NEWS) is to provide "a nurturing refuge for women and children suffering from domestic violence and/or sexual assault … [and act as] a catalyst for change through prevention, intervention and advocacy."
For dates and a complete list of chefs and wineries participating in The 12 Days of Christmas 2013, go to Meadowood's events page.
For either a weeknight or weekend dinner, let Candlelight Inn be your home away from home while you explore the Napa Valley.

Labour pledges to take on mobile phone companies for overcharging
Deputy Political Editor
Thursday 12 June 2014
Urgent action to tackle overcharging by mobile phone companies to the tune of £6bn – equivalent to £100 for every person in Britain – has been promised by Labour.
The planned moves against the mobile phone "rip-off" is the party's latest initiative for turning the political spotlight on to the cost of living crisis as a way of countering Coalition's focus on growing evidence of economic recovery.
Helen Goodman, the shadow Culture Minister, claimed households were paying massively over the odds for telecoms, including use of mobiles, landlines and broadband, because the government had failed to regulate the market.
She cited research by the organisation Bill Monitor which found almost three quarters of mobile phone subscribers were on unsuitable contracts, paying an extra £6bn between them to Britain's four networks.
"The Government have totally failed to address this and so most people are spending £100 each year more than they need to," Ms Goodman told the Independent.
"At a time when family budgets are under pressure this shows how out of touch and careless these ministers are."
She said consumers were often confused about their mobile charges because of the complexity of tariffs and the refusal of companies to give clear details of their lowest prices.
"It is extremely difficult for people to manage their bills without proper information and the ability to make straightforward consumer choices," she said.
Labour would make it far easier for mobile phone users to move between networks by scrapping the rule under which the losing provider is responsible for organising the switch.
It would give Ofcom extra teeth to force through the change, which Labour says would provide a major incentive for companies to publicise their cheapest deals.
Ms Goodman said Labour would also act to force companies to alert phone users when they are approaching the allowance limits of their contracts to stop consumers running up higher-than-expected bills.
The party would give the right to all customers to leave their mobile and broadband contracts without penalty if mid-contract price rises are imposed.
Ms Goodman also called for mobile phone users to receive paper bills without being charged for them. She said: "Without paper statements, customers become more likely to miss payments and less likely to have a handle on their finances."
She urged quick action to scrap charges of up to 21p per minute most mobile customers face to ring 0800 numbers such as ChildLine and for a cap on the liability of consumers for bills run up on phones that are stolen or lost.
"For three years the Government have been promising reform in the telecoms sector. We are now on our third Secretary of State and still no action has been taken," Ms Goodman said.
Speaking at the GMB union conference in Nottingham, the Labour leader Ed Miliband promised action on the "broken markets that have held our country back for so long now, driving prices too high, ripping people off".
He said: "It starts with the energy companies. We've seen the problem this very week.
"The wholesale price goes up, your bills go up. The wholesale price comes down, your bills still go up.
"Not under a Labour Government - we will freeze gas and electricity bills until 2017 to stop them rising and we will give new powers to the regulator to cut prices too."
He repeated his pledge to raise the minimum wage to bring it closer to average earnings if Labour wins next year's general election.

These ever-popular, light and compact electronic devices have become the favorite targets of opportunistic thieves who take advantage of riders who fail to pay attention to their surroundings. The posters warn customers to be especially vigilant, particularly when seated or standing near doors.
"Unfortunately, these items have become tempting targets for thieves and what we are seeking to do with this campaign is remind our customers to take extra care when using them by being watchful of their environment," said NYC Transit President Thomas F. Prendergast.
The campaign was developed in consultation with the NYPD, based in part on a video they produced earlier this year educating customers about device safety. The videos addressed the issues of vigilance and situational awareness when using electronic devices in the subway.New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said, "Enforcement and public awareness are both critical to combating thefts of iPhones and other electronic devices on the subway.
This campaign reminds transit riders that when you are aware of your surroundings, and guard your electronic devices, you help protect yourself against would-be thieves."
More than 2,000 of the "premium square" posters are being installed on subway cars throughout the system. The campaign will also appear in the On the Go! Travel Station rotation as well as on Station Advisory Information Display S.A.I.D screens when they read "Good Service."

Album Rating: 2.9oh me too Matt! we both love Shearwater the same amount, man
Meh on this album. Archipelago was awesome, though. Good review, brah.
Actually Jacob, this review was really good. One of my favourites of yours, I'd say. My only niggle with it is that it may slightly overmention the fact that Shearwater really likes these songs you guys.
Album Rating: 2.9hehe, thanks dudes. and Irving, I think you may be into something... I'll take a look in a bit. cheers < 3 Thompson, this just makes me more excited for the band's big true follow-up.
I really wanted this to be better.
Album Rating: 2.9it's tough bc I have no doubt this is the album they wanted to make. but at the same time, I get very little out of a record like this, and I definitely don't think I'm the only one. makes me realize that catering to the fans can definitely sometimes be a good thing. but they'll have their next full-length out soon enough, which is bound to be great.
Looks like FFAF's album cover.

Carolina's comeback efforts reach new heights
Updated: June 7, 2006, 12:12 PM ET
Scott Burnside | ESPN.com
RALEIGH, N.C. -- After this most bizarro of playoff wins, one might have expected the Carolina Hurricanes' dressing room would have been electric with euphoria, or at the very least, giddy with relief.
Instead, there was quiet introspection.
"What do you see in this dressing room?" defenseman Aaron Ward asked, gesturing to the oddly silent room. "It's the knowledge that we absolutely escaped with a game, 100 percent by the skin of our teeth."
A few moments earlier, ...

I'm not particularly interested in buying it, but the level of fit the people who have had this skin exclusively for THREE YEARS is pretty silly, and op's post is irrational and bitter. Poor show
It is threads like this that make you lose faith in humaity. Such a crab in a bucket mentality. Trying to stop someone else from enjoying the skin just because they are getting a deal that wasn't available to you? Absolutely pathetic.

Skatetown USA entertains speedsters with a slick rink full of friction-less fun during open-skate sessions on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. Skaters can careen in the company of a partner or assemble a gaggle of friends, family members, or doppelgängers to perform choreographed rink routines. Family packages help to replenish energy spent on glissading across the floor or perfecting quadruple axel jumps with a hot pizza and slurpable sodas. Bask in retro glory with four-wheeled skates or for an additional fee, spring for a pair of speed skates or rug-cutting roller blades to ensure hummingbird-paced conga lines.
76 Golf World Family Fun Center fills its sunny grounds with attractions to entertain visitors of all ages. The Racing Rascals go-kart track puts young ones behind the wheel as they circle a simple beginner's track, whereas the Slick Track's surface of shiny concrete lets teens practice fishtailing before taking their driver's test. Kids aged 2–7 board bumper boats and cruise on a foot-deep pool, safely colliding with other captains. Just as two 18-hole mini-golf courses challenge putters to sink shots amid lighthouses and waterfalls, a driving range and chipping area beckon players to practice hitting balls and shredding scorecards with their clubs. A slew of other attractions—from batting cages and arcade games to bounce houses and trampolines—tire families out before they refuel on hot dogs, nachos, and candy at the full snack bar.
Racers fly over the European-style road course, whipping past red-and-black boundaries as they maneuver in and out of the turns and straightaways. While they jockey for position and widen the gap between them and the competition, they listen to the race coverage on their radio helmets, striving to improve on their last lap time by cracking a whip over their engines until they gallop up to 40 miles per hour. This is the Andretti Challenge, one of five go-kart tracks within the six-acre Andretti Thrill Park.
The park?s attractions span amusements for nearly every age, from tyke-friendly fun on Rookie Row to single and double karts on the Super Speedway. The park also encompasses nonmotorized fun, such as the Andretti Edge climbing wall, mini bowling, and a tokenless, card-based arcade. And as expected at any family amusement park, Andretti's staff includes a team dedicated to handling parties so that parents don't have to sneak into the park at midnight and power the arcade with their car battery. This scope and quality of entertainment earned Andretti Thrill Park the 2011, 2012, and 2013 Best of Melbourne Award: Amusement Parks from the US Commerce Association.
Beach Water Sports matches patrons up with watercraft ranging from paddleboards to powerboats, and encourages them to explore the surrounding azure waters. Seafarers can opt for a relaxing day on a pontoon, even sneaking in some sightseeing on an excursion to Peck Lake to drop in on its populations of manatees and sea turtles. Those eyeing a more-thrilling time on the water can take a rented jet ski buzzing through Hobe Sound and Jupiter or try to start an ocean whirlpool by only paddling on one side of the standup paddleboard.
Lion Country Safari is a zoo with no cages. Instead, many of the 900 animals, including the largest zebra herd outside of Africa, roam its 320 acres freely. During drive-through safaris, cars tour seven sections of the preserve?which represent different areas such as western Zimbabwe and the Serengeti?to see llamas, asiatic water buffalo, chimpanzees, and white rhinoceros. Lions have a section all to themselves so that they don't prey on other animals or disturb them with giggles from the pride's late-night slumber parties.
In addition to the four-mile drive, Lion Country Safari's Safari World allows guests to explore rides and attractions as they visit with animals on foot. They can feed giraffes, practice animal-massage techniques at the petting zoo, or hop on the carousel next to Lake Shanalee's paddleboat rides. After kids splash through the interactive Safari Splash waterpark, they can zoom down two brand-new water slides, hop onto the ferris wheel, or ask exotic birds for advice on how to fly.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex celebrates the past, present, and future of space travel with educational exhibits and hands-on activities for visitors of all ages. And as a reminder that the history contained here is still being written, the center displays a countdown clock marking off the seconds until the next scheduled launch.
