for Africa (RAF)
New York/Accra, 8 October 2012 - Equatorial Guinea will contribute $30 million to a newly created Trust Fund for Food Security in Africa to help reduce hunger in Africa, the country's President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo announced in a speech to the UN General Assembly on 27 September 2012, following a meeting with FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.
The donation answers a call for solidarity made by the President of the Republic of Congo, Denis Sassou Nguesso, at the FAO Regional Conference for Africa held in Brazzaville, in April 2012.
"The African decision to create the fund and the donation are signs of regional solidarity and that African nations are willing to play a greater role in tackling food insecurity in the continent," said FAO's Regional Representative for Africa, Maria Helena Semedo.
The fund will be an African-funded solidarity trust fund to improve food security on the continent. It aims at raising resources in Africa to fight hunger and scale up activities that successfully prevent, and respond to, food security and agriculture crises and build resilience in rural populations. The focus will be in countries of the Horn of Africa and Sahel, which have faced recurrent drought in recent years.

DELTA – Anyone who's done it knows, it takes a load of expensive gear and a lot of effort to raft and fish the incomparable waters of the Gunnison Gorge on a multi-day camping trip.
Now gear, effort and pocketbook are no longer roadblocks to epic fishing trips in the Gunnison Gorge, or the lower stretches of the Gunnison River, with longtime river guide Chris Mortimer's new outfitting business, Gunnison River Pro.
Based out of Delta County, Gunnison River Pro is perfectly situated to provide all of the logistics and gear anglers and outdoor enthusiasts of all types need for a self-guided trip through the Gunnison Gorge. This includes shuttling personal vehicles, packing all camping equipment, loading personal gear, carefully packing all food for meals and then transporting everything by horseback to the remote put-in at Chukar Trail.
"The Gunnison Gorge is one of the finest float fishing trips in the West," Mortimer says. "The Gorge is also difficult to access and requires a lot of gear and logistics to make a trip happen. Guided trips in the Gorge have become extremely expensive. Our packages are an affordable option and give you extra time on the water.
"All you need to do is hike down to the river and float. We take care of everything else."
Along with providing everything needed for a float including rafts, frames and all kitchen gear, Gunnison River Pro provides critical information about the rafting equipment, camp kitchen, resources regulations, boating safety, general information about the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness Area, and even recommendations on where to camp.
Mortimer has spent the past 20 years fishing and floating the Gunnison Gorge and is no stranger to the type of gear needed to enjoy one, two or three days on the river. At his shop in Delta County, Mortimer has been hard at work crafting gear that's specifically designed to the unique logistics that go into a Gunnison Gorge river trip. Everything from the frames – with fishing seats – to the kitchen table has been designed to work with utmost ease on the river.
"Our trips are outfitted with the best gear, specifically designed for the Gorge," Mortimer says. "After years of observation and thousands of days on the water, I designed and built the dry boxes and frames with the intent of minimizing the amount of horses needed to haul a trip. We use half the horses that other trips use – saving you money."
Mortimer adds that the intuition that's gone into his gear has caught the eye of other outfitters in the area and he's been asked to build gear for them as well.
While most river trips in the Gunnison Gorge cover approximately 14 miles from Chukar Trail to the Bureau of Land Management take-out at the confluence of the North Fork, Mortimer says Gunnison River Pro has options for take-out locations farther downstream that will allow greater flexibility and the ability to extend trips from what once was a maximum of three days to four or five days.
Mortimer emphasized that the recreational resources below the confluence of the North Fork shouldn't be forgotten. The BLM has painstakingly built a number of camps and put-ins/take-outs that can provide novice boaters great floating waters for fishing as well.
"The lower river has great fishing in a desert environment; the section of river through the Escalante Dominguez Canyon National Conservation Area has a great hike to 1,000-year-old rock art panels," Mortimer says. "For those that aren't experienced, the lower river is a great place to learn and hone your rafting skills. And they're all accessible for day, and multi-day trips. The BLM has really developed some nice camp spots down there."
Whether it's a casual day on the lower Gunnison River or a multi-day float through the Gunny Gorge, Gunnison River Pro will have you fully outfitted with top-of-the-line gear for a trip of a lifetime.
"We are making the logistics of doing a river trip easy for everybody," he says. "Which means more time on the water."
To schedule a trip or to find out more information about Gunnison River Pro, visit gunnisonriverpro.com, search for Gunnison River Pro on Facebook or call 970/318-2509.

Atlanta >Food & Dining > Vine Restaurant
1190 N. Highland Ave, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030633.787219 -84.355367
Sun-Thu 5:30pm-10pm Fri-Sat 5:30pm-11pm Sun 10:30am-3pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Northeast, Virginia Highland
The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive. They answered all our questions with ease. Overall experience was great. I highly recommend this place!
I've always eating here in Vine Restaurant. The food is very tasty.
loved it a lot – My friend dragged me to this restaurant when he heard about the quality of food they offer. It was both our first time to try eating at this place and we were really satisfied. The food was fresh and tasty. The server was also very nice. Both of us had a great time .
Great Improvement! – Live in the neighborhood and used to go to Vine a while back but the food and service started to diminish. Went a few months ago and had horrible service so we decided not to go back any more. Recently we received an email to come and try the new menu...so we did...and boy are we glad we did! The food is great and the service was prompt. They had a special 50% off menu so we decided to take full advantage and try numerous items. The Short Rib Canelloni, Lamp Lollipops and Duck Confit appetizer were very tasty (served tapas style). The Halibut with Spinach was phenomenal and the Braised Short Ribs were excellent! If you are not having appetizers, I would recommend a side dish as the portions are on the small side. We usually never order dessert but decided to give the Blueberry Cobbler a try...it was well worth every calorie. All in all the new menu is a much needed improvement for Vine and I would recommend giving it a try.
Bold flavors and a good wine list anchor the menu at this popular Va-Hi restaurant. – In Short
Though it sounds like a one-word fermented grape bar, Virginia Highlands' Vine is an upscale-casual eatery with self-proclaimed "European flair". The Euro-influence may be tough to spot, but the atmosphere in dining room is elegant with creamy walls and romantic lighting. The slow-starting wait staff is friendly and willing to take time to explain the conceptually-challenged menu. Curious appetizers such as the Baby Cola Rosa salad which mixes salty prosciutto with Fuji apples and sharp cheddar was interesting, however confusing as a salad. Velvety bleu cheese polenta is the sidekick on a lamb app, though the bleu overwhelms the wonderful lamb which cements the overarching theme of the menu - great ideas eclipsed by powerful seasoning. The signature prosciutto crusted halibut is overwhelmingly salty only curbed by the removal of the "crust." If very strong flavors are your gig, you will feel right at home.
Okay, but... – Vine used to be my favorite restaurant. They had INCREDIBLE Italian food that rivaled any food I've had in Italy. I was extremely dissapointed when it was sold and the new owners and only had a couple of my old Italian favorites. Well, then it sold again, and now there is no Italian food to be seen on the menu. The new menu is good, but nothing special and the kind of food you can get anywhere. It's nowhere near as good as what it used to be... Sadly, while I still occasionally frequent Vine, it's not on my list of favorites anymore.
Creative Wine Tastings, Fantastic Customer Service – A close friend of mine and I went to VINE on a Monday night a few weeks ago, just to grab a glass of wine and chat. Little did we know what was in store for us. Not only was the wine, and wine list, exceptional, but new owners had taken over and we were showered with their hospitality. They have completely invigorated this place. A taste of the Tuna Tartare Trio had us vowing (actually gushing with oo's and ah's) to come back on Wednesday for the weekly wine tasting (which is $10, but is free if you dine there afterwards) and dinner. We did come back that Wednesday and were not disappointed. The wine tasting was certainly informative, interesting, and delicious, but also delightfully relaxed and fun, thanks to the in-house sommelier, Chris, whose witty observations about wine are only accentuated by his witty observations about people. The service at dinner was impeccable, and the server's knowledge and recommendations for wine were just what we were looking for. Everything we dined on, from the Tuna trio to the PEI Mussels to the Seared Atlantic Salmon were wonderful. If you are not a seafood fan, there are plenty of meatier options on the menu, but I do recommend leaving room for the desserts. I have now been to VINE three times in two weeks, and while I didn't think it possible, it just gets better and better everytime.
Sophisticated Yum – I was out and about shopping in Virginia Highlands when I stopped in to grab a bite to eat at Vine. I was in jeans and sandals but immediately felt right at home in this beautiful upscale but comfortable place.
I had the Seared Scallops as my appetizer; they were very very tender with a delicate flavor and a very tasty jus. You could tell just how fresh they were.
Prosciutto crusted halibut was my choice as it was recommended to me as the house specialty, so I was intrigued enough to try it. The flavors were outrageous, the potato salad was absolutely delish and the tomato oil is now one of my favorite things (I never had it before) Such hands on attention as the house cured prosciutto adds a tremendous touch to this dish making it one of my favorites in Atlanta.
BUT WAIT if for no other reason come here to have the Chocolate Torte with crushed hazelnuts I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I had the best coffee I have ever tasted with this. I left extremely satisfied and wish to return very soon with all of my family and friends. Their wine list and knowledge is enough to impress even the most seasoned and experienced vinophile but their approach is so friendly and unegotistical that anyone can get the most out of their wine list and enjoy the process. I was told that they have one of the most knowledgeable wine experts in Atlanta creating their wine list. Their patio has invited me back seeing as spring is here. I will be back.
vendetta much? – Is it just me or do many of the reviews on Vine seem excessively mean and personal? As I read other reviews of restaurants on City Search, the reviews usually just have to do with the food and service. Get A Life!
Yeah! Vine was sold. – Was making reservations on OpenTable and I saw that Vine was closed. I thought they went under as everyone was expecting, but then found out that Vine was sold. While it was only a matter of time, this is such good news. Hopefully we will see it return to its old glory. I called and found out that it is a chef and his wife that bought it. This is very exciting, it was sad to see what happened to this once great restaurant after it changed hands a year ago. Can't wait to see the new menu and watch the crowds return. Now if the guy that ruined Vine would would only sell Sala too we would return the Highlands back to a place for creative chef driven restaurants.

People often say that money is the main source of couples' fights. In fact, the underlying problem can start with money conversations.
Often couples get bogged down in repetitive conversations around money instead of talking about the actual financial issues that bother them.
Here's a common conversational boondoggle that might start on the following themes and go round and round:
"We should really move to a bigger house/better area."
"We can't afford that."
Another money merry-go-round:
"I think we should invest in Apple stock now, while it's hot!"
"Why don't we open 529 plans for the kids instead?"
Here's how to stop having conversations around money and start talking about it. Stop and ask for directions. Too often we listen as a way of making judgments or issuing criticism. Instead, ask your mate, "Tell me why X is important to you. Help me to understand what you're thinking." Listen slowly. Don't jump to your usual conclusions, as I learned after 15 years of marriage. Be open to having your assumptions challenged. Accept the gap. Are you going to agree 100% on everything? Not a chance. So start by offering a tradeoff: "I'm willing to try X. Could you try doing Y or Z?" Last, try to steer away from the "I win, you lose" perspective. As the saying goes, sometimes "no" right now paves the way for a bigger "yes" down the line.
Open for discussion. How do money talks happen in your house? Carl Richards, aka "the napkin guy", and father to three daughters and one son, is renowned for his weekly sketches on the NY Times Bucks Blog and is now a DailyWorth contributor.

Dallas >Beauty > The Color Studio & Salon

I came in last week and had Jennifer do my color and cut. She was wonderful and did my color perfect. She is Amazing and super professional. The front desk is extremely friendly and called to confirm the appointment which was very helpful since I forgot I even had an appointment. The salon itself is clean and has tons of products that I was familiar with, my favorite being Kerastase. Thank you Color Studio... Y'all are wonderful. I will definitely be returning.
It's easy: get an appointment with Kate! She is simply the very best of the best.
I had an appointment with Jennifer and was so very happy with the results!!! My hair is fine and difficult to work with and she did an outstanding job.
After living in Dallas for 5 years, I have finally found someone who understand what I want in cut and color. I am a redhead and red is not easy to work with but Jennifer has done an amazing job. I get a ton of compliments after each visit. Thank you so much for your excellent work.
Scott is fantastic, amazing, wonderful, and all the best adjectives!!!!!!!
I gave this salon five stars because overall I have never felt more welcomed visiting any business more than I did here.
When I called to schedule my appointment the girl I spoke with actually listened to me and took my needs in to consideration when she recommended a stylist. That meant alot to me. I was apprehensive that this salon would be full of kids right out of beauty school, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The stylists there are amazing. I watched many customers all leave with beautiful hair.
I saw Scott and he was a complete doll. My hair looks wonderful, and when I returned to work later that day I had so many compliments. I will refer everyone I know to Scott and this salon and I will most definitely return myself!
I was a new client and called the salon to schedule an appointment and I spoke to Amanda. She asked many questions to ensure she placed me with a great match for my needs. She recommended that Codi would take great care of my frizzy mess! She was very right, Codi was amazing! I love my hair color, we did color and highlights. The cut is amazing, she even helped me learn how to style my own hair which is something I've never been great at. She was very informative and had many creative ideas. I highly recommend this salon and Codi! This salon was amazing, the front desk girls were so friendly and I just adore my new stylist! I know I've found a new salon home.
Love this salon!!!! Angie did a fabulous color and great cut...unbelievable price for top quality!!! Highly recommend....please visit and ask for Angie ! She rocks!!
Nhi has cut my hair 2xs now, and I have to say they have been the best cuts I have ever gotten. I have very fine, somewhat thin, straight hair. She worked with me based on my facial shape and hair texture to get the right cut and style. She spends a great deal of time trying to get it just right -- she is a perfectionist in the best way. I have been very happy and am willing to drive the 45 minutes in traffic to get to her studio.
Awesome salon! – This is a pRofessional and organized salon! It's also clean and the staff is talented and courteous. Delena is the best colorist I've found in a long time! I'd gladly pay whatever she asked for a color because it's always right and I get compliments all the time. As long as she's there I'll be back! It's also nice because no one is overly dramatic and no one discusses inappropriate subjects like some stylists feel comfortable to do. That's my favorite part because I hate hearing about other peoples sex lives in detail. It's a great salon. You should visit it soon!
I'll be back! – I was talked into coming here after many months of my best friend calling me "roots". When I came in, before I even stepped foot in the salon, the girl at the desk greeted me and called my stylist to let her know I had arrived.
I met with my stylist, we talked about what I was interested in doing (which involved a drastic change in my hair cut then I am used to) and she had so many ideas on what we could do. I dont think I have ever met a hair stylist that was so personable and down to earth! Totally made me comfortable and at ease about what I was doing.
We talked during the whole cut and color like we had been friends forever. I was (and still am!) so impressed with the crew at The Color Studio, I hope the Management team give them praise as this is by far the best experience I have had in a salon. This is my spot, I have found a great place and I give all the thanks to all the awesome reviews.

Edvald Boasson Hagen is widely regarded as one of the most talented young cyclists in the world and in 2010 he continued his progression as one of the strongest and fastest riders in the peloton.
Hard-fought victories at Ghent-Wevelgem and the Tour of Britain in 2009 made him one of Team Sky's highest-profile signings when he was snapped up from Team Columbia and he hit the ground running by helping his new employers to victory in the very first stage of the Tour of Qatar.
By his next race at the Tour of Oman 'Eddy Boss' was flying and his two stage victories and two further podium positions netted him both the young rider and points classification jerseys.
Another stage win at Tirreno-Adriatico was to follow in March but his spring classics campaign was spoiled by an Achilles injury he picked up at Milan-San Remo which forced him to miss a number of important races.
Boasson Hagen proved he was back to his best by winning the final stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré in June and just 10 days later he claimed the Norwegian time trial champion's jersey for the fourth year in succession.
He made his long-awaited debut at the Tour de France in July and sprinted to two podium positions inside the very first week of competition.
That fine form showed no signs of abating as the season neared its conclusion and Edvald followed up a remarkable solo win at the Dutch Food Valley Classic with further top-three finishes at the Vattenfall Cyclassics, Eneco Tour and GP Cycliste de Quebec.
Looking back on 2010, Boasson Hagen is happy to have made such an immediate impact, but insists a large part of his success has been down to the help and support of his team-mates throughout the season.
He said: "It feels really good that I've been able to achieve what I have done and I think it shows how well the team has worked together to support me.
"A lot of the time I just finish off what they have put into place for me and some days I feel like I can fly past everyone.
"It was great to be selected for the Tour de France and having thousands of fans there to cheer the team on definitely motivated me to reach the finish line in Paris. One day I would love to win a stage in that race but I think I still need a bit more experience before that can happen."
How did you get into cycling?
My brother started mountain biking and I wanted to be just like him, so I started as well. When I was 15- years-old I tried road bike for the first time and thought it was fun. So until I was 18 years I did both road and mountain biking, but in the end I like road biking more, so I chose that. And I am really happy I stayed on the road.
What are your hobbies? Do you participate in any other sport?
I like to take pictures and edit my own photos. I like almost everything with an engine on it. I like speed and action. And I´m from Norway so in the wintertime I like to go skiing, x country and twin tip.
Heroes/influences? Why?
I actually have no heroes, I just love to go cycling.My brother influenced me to get on the bike and for that I am grateful.
Do you follow a special race diet?
Not really, but I like to eat a slice of bread with philadelphia cheese and scrambled eggs, ham, and then cheese on top again. That's really good. Philladelphia cheese is good on everything.
How do you train? How will you train for the Tour de France?
I have a personal trainer that sets up my training schedule. I will do a lot of long rides, some intervals and train at home before the TdF. I like training at home before big races and it always seems to be good for me.
Where is your favorite place to ride?
Mallorca is probably the most beautiful and scenic place I have ridden, but riding at home in Norway is always the best place for me. The norwegian gas stations have a great selection of cookies and cakes that make the training rides perfect!
What are your goals for this year?
I want to win a stage at the TDF and I hope to get a good result at one of the spring classics.
What is the best advice you have heard?
To keep focused on what I am doing and train hard for what you want and not be stressed by outside distractions.
What is the best advice you have heard on improving in your sport?
To keep doing what I am doing.
What is the biggest obstacle you have faced and how did you overcome it?
I had some hardcore stomach problems during races and I needed to find the right food and nutrition that fits my body. It took some research, testing and failing, but now I have a good nutrition plan with a Norwegian company that makes me sports drinks that my body can handle.
