Seven days in Italy. Seven wines. So it was my friend Paul diCarlo at Jimmy's in Dallas asked me to put together a tasting for his little back room, his "circolo del vino" for 57 of his closest friends and clients. "Show me what we missed." I thought about it. All the wines I sampled in Italy, how to reduce it down to seven? Not so easy. But when I was sitting outside my porch in the Langhe, looking out over a vineyard I got this idea. Why wines? Why not people? And then it got a little easier.
Vinitaly 2011 is a blur. I was only there three days, instead of the usual five. The UGG en primeurs in Bordeaux stole a day on the front side and the Summa 2 event in Trentino borrowed another day. In 2012 there will only be four days for Vinitaly and will start on a Sunday, March 25 and go through Wednesday March 28. Yes, those are the correct dates. It seems the earlier decision to run the show from April 1-4 got in the way of the UGC Bordeaux en primeurs and the WSWA show in Sin City in 2012.
Giulio emailed me an invite to the Contadi Castaldi happy hour. I'd been to the property and loved it, loved the people. So I figured, great, an Italian party. A bar was transformed for the night complete with jazz musician and blues singer perched atop the room. Tubs of cool Franciacorta and delicate tastes of pizza and appetizers flowed liberally. They were pouring their special cuvee of Saten, called Soul, a bone dry wine in a package that is pure Italian bling. But for some reason I was gravitating more towards the Contadi Castaldi Franciacorta Brut that night. I normally prefer their Rosé but it wasn't in sight. So I took a spin with the Brut. It was a perfect match with the weather, slightly warm, the food, fresh and delicious and the people, well dressed.Young and foodish.
Visentin dialect, securing me some of the finer cuts of meat on my plate. Not a bad way to end a week, considering I would be working through the weekend.
Nadia Zenato poured her Zenato Lugana wine, which really does not get enough consideration in America, somehow crammed between the ubiquitous Pinot Grigio and falling under the shadow of Soave, which is fighting to re-ascend the staircase. Instead here is Lugana, a soft, delicate, dry little wisp of a wine that if you were stranded on a desert island for five years would be more than ample to satisfy one through the time.
Petra. Francesca has always been sweet and welcoming to me, even in a booth crowded with Italians vying to see how many of their kind they could cram into the room. She has a way to make it all disappear with her gaze. Her attention- I am here for you – welcome – do you like our new baby? Along with her new baby (as in child) the estate also has just released the Petra Mareto, this wacky little Tuscan blend of Syrah, Merlot and Malbec. I know. I know. I looked at the wine and said the same thing. Then I closed my eyes, took a sip and was blown away. It spoke to me. Number one it was lower in alcohol, 12.5%, than many wines I had been trying. It didn't burn. It was tasty. It reminded me of Petra. And my long lost home state of California. I was home, if only for a few ounces.
Campodelsole in Romagna with their winemaker, Stefano Salvini, who is a friend. Stefano and I have traveled all over Texas together, been in Italy, New York, Friuli. Stefano is one of those guys you just gotta like, always a smile always an idea to make a better wine, always thinking. He really is a huge part of the future of Italian wine history. Can you tell I like the guy? We tasted though a bevy of Campodelsole's new wines, and loved them. And then Stefano brought out a wine I had already bought. And had a lot of, the Campodelsole San Maglorio Sangiovese Di Romagna Superiore – Superiore denoting a little higher alcohol (½%) from estate vineyards that have had a deeper selection for fruit and depth. Very affordable, no oak, no technological manipulation to dress the wine up. Thankfully, the wine, in its natural state has terrific attributes for concentrated fruit and vigor. And it tasted wonderful, in the hot sun baked stands of the Emilia-Romagna pavilion. And of course, in that building, there wasn't just wine. The prosciutto and Parmigiano were flowing like the wines.
working with them for a generation now. And now the young generation are no longer babies. Valeria Losi speaks English and we share stuff on Facebook and she's going to start traveling, and their wines are better than ever. But the key to this winery is the connection. They are part of my family. I see them more often than many of my own blood. And we have grown together over the years. When it comes to Chianti Classico, I cannot think of another wine that so quintessentially embodies what that word "Chianti" should mean in its "classic" interpretation. The Losi Family estate, Querciavalle Chianti Classico "Tradizionale", is that wine for me. I absolutely love the wine. And the family.
I have recently blogged about. One of the wines that stuck with me was the Vietti "Perbacco" Nebbiolo. Luca Currado, told our little group when we were there last week, that this wine satisfies all the requirements to be called a Barolo. Instead, the family chose to present the wine as a Nebbiolo, a wine that can get into more hands and open the door for a whole new group of future Barolo drinkers. I had an epiphany with a quartino of Perbacco at one of my local trattorias in Dallas, Nonna, sipping and thoroughly enjoying this wine. And seeing as the family has a role in the history of Barolo (they've been making Barolo since the 1870's) it was fitting to include this wine in my week. The founder of the estate once lived in America, in the 19th century, and when he came back, he brought the future with him. He bought many of the best plots, and his life work was to preserve the greatest vineyards in the area for the future and his family, who are well aware of that weighty obligation. A few sips of the Perbacco make that job a lot easier.
"I'vegotasparklingmoscateroséforyoutotaste!" Stefano talks fast in English and Italian. I kid him about it. And he has a good sense of humor. "Lentamente, per favore," I bark back at him. Stefano is 28 and is also very much part of the future of Italian wine in America. He's like this happy little puppy that jumps up on your lap and licks you and you just can't help but like him. Obviously I do. So when he poured me a glass of the Batasiolo Moscato Rosé, it was the perfect way to end Vinitaly and a week of running around.
Look, there are more stories and there will be time for them. I have already run way over in words with this piece. Hey, who takes an hour to eat lunch in Italy? This ain't a fast food post; we're talking Italy, after all.
All this to say, these are wines I connect with because of people. Giulio, Nadia, Stefano S., Francesca, Valeria, Luca and Stefano P. The wines are super. But the relationships are really what it's all about on this wine trail.

Facebook Clarifies Terms Of Service: "We Do Not Own Your Stuff Forever"
Well, yesterday's Facebook post certainly blew up today, and it looks like Facebook is currently preparing an official response. In the meantime, a Facebook rep has written to the Industry Standard to emphasize that all rights are subject to your privacy settings, so even if they don't expire when you close your account, they'll still be subject to whatever restrictions you had when the account was active. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has also posted a more philosophical response on the Facebook blog saying that while the new Terms of Service are "overly formal," they're only meant to give Facebook the legal ability to enable content sharing among users.
Here's what the Facebook rep told the Industry Standard:
We are not claiming and have never claimed ownership of material that users upload. The new Terms were clarified to be more consistent with the behavior of the site. That is, if you send a message to another user (or post to their wall, etc…), that content might not be removed by Facebook if you delete your account (but can be deleted by your friend). Furthermore, it is important to note that this license is made subject to the user's privacy settings. So any limitations that a user puts on display of the relevant content (e.g. To specific friends) are respected by Facebook. Also, the license only allows us to use the info "in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof." Users generally expect and understand this behavior as it has been a common practice for web services since the advent of webmail. For example, if you send a message to a friend on a webmail service, that service will not delete that message from your friend's inbox if you delete your account.

Finding Your Voice Through Food
I live and teach in Philadelphia, and aspire to be a small piece of a big change that could potentially redefine the food industry as we know it. I grow food in an urban community garden plot and shop at the farmers market. However, the more I learn about our food industry, the more I feel like a postcard I keep on my desk, "There is an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about."
I find an increasing urgency to educate myself about the choices I have involving food dollars. As a professional educator, it is also my job to inform others and help them inform themselves. I had just begun reading Barbara Kingsolver's, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" (read an excerpt) when a colleague literally dropped in my lap the opportunity to involve my students in positive change: the EPA contest. The challenge put forth by the EPA was to "reduce your class carbon footprint" in 21 days. Inspired by Kingsolver's book, I turned to food; it was a perfect fit. Earlier in our school year we discussed the idea of stewardship, of taking responsibility for our actions and the state of our environment, and the students were ready for the challenge.
Sophie, Tara, and Gabe research local food. Photos by Andrea L'Tainen.
"Meeting for learning" is a Quaker phrase that we use in the classroom at the Germantown Friends School, where I teach lower school science. The phrase refers to an education that values equality and community in the classroom. Regardless of role, teacher or student, each person's ideas are listened to and respected. After many conversations with my students, the consensus was to reduce the number of miles our food travels to our kitchens.
The task was not as easy as it sounds, but I knew the kids had the passion and work ethic for a job that included convincing parents how to spend their money. Buying more local, organic, and unprocessed foods was a big change for many. Several families in the school are already living sustainable lifestyles. For example, the shortest distance food traveled to the kitchen table was, "blueberries from my backyard."
We crafted a letter to parents explaining the project and our goal: "to find food that minimizes the dependence on fossil fuels." Pantries, fridges, and shopping bags were inspected to find out where each item was grown or made. Students recorded their findings, and we figured out the total carbon footprint using the Carbon Footprint Calculator (based on a single-passenger air travel, one-way). In just three weeks, 51 students reduced their carbon footprint by 32 metric tonnes just by being aware of where our food was coming from.
Dear EPA,
I used to get my oranges from Ecuador and I didn't pay any attention to where it came from but now I do. Now I get my oranges from Wyck farms in Pennsylvania. My parents try to notice too.
— Isaac
One third grader was very concerned that she would have to give up bananas. I told her that I would not be giving up my bananas and that I would never ask her to do so. An audible sigh of relief rose up from the entire class. Children are so literal that it is hard for them to make changes in small steps; they want to change the world all at once. Once they narrowed their focus, saving the world one apple at a time seemed much more manageable than trying to be a green super-hero. They simply realized that the food in one person's lunch could come from five different continents. They realized what a difference it would make if our food was grown or made locally instead. Finally, and, perhaps, most importantly, they realized that when they question the status quo, the answers that emerge may make more sense than the existing system. Hopefully the experience will change the way they view authority and they will continue to ask questions their whole lives.
After winning second place in the EPA-sponsored contest, the students have harnessed their energy and excitement into a 4th grade Environmental Action Club (EAC). Their ideas for the fall include letter-writing campaigns, meat industry animal right's advocacy, and taking on the marketing standard that places famous children's characters on packaging for products that lead children down a path of ill health.

Audi's history began in the early 20th century, more than 100 years ago, when German engineer August Horch, a former blacksmith and shipbuilder founded the company. He had previously founded and left his first automobile firm, Horch. The new company's name was derived from the Latin translation of his name, Horch. Horch was barred from using his name thanks to a trademark dispute with then owners of his previous company.
Audi Through The Years
The first Audi vehicle in production was the Type B 10/28PS, which was launched in early 1910. The earliest Audis were successful sporting cars.
A decade later, in 1920, August Horch left Audi though he stayed on as a member of the board of trustees. Soon after, the company became a pioneer in German driving safety when it introduced the country's first left-hand drive model. In the late 1930s the company was one of the first to carry out systematic rollover and crash tests.
The linked rings that make up the Audi logo were first used as the company's brand in the 1930s, although initially only racing cars bore the mark.
Audi's production capabilities were severely limited during World War II like many other German companies when factories were used for military production and then often suffered damage by bombing although some production did continue. Toward the end of the 1950s, Audi was briefly owned by Daimler-Benz. In 1964 Audi became part of the Volkswagen Group and by 1965 new models were again being branded as Audis.
Audi in America
During the 1980s, the first Audi began gaining popularity in America. The Audi 4000 sport sedan was first sold to American motorists in 1984. The following year, Audi started to work with the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) and incorporated a greater quantity of aluminum in its manufacturing processes.
In 1993, Audi presented a lightweight aluminum production car after several years of work with Alcoa. The Audi Space Frame as it was known, used new design principles like connecting aluminum sections to form a frame into which load-bearing aluminum panels are then integrated. In 1995, the Audi A4 was named as the successor to the Audi 80 and was a huge success throughout the United States. In fact, following the launch of the new A4 sales of Audi vehicles saw a 44 percent improvement over sales of the previous year.
Then in 1997, Audi launched the world's first all-aluminum volume production car, the A8, to U.S. drivers. The Audi A8's aluminum body marked a new standard in car manufacturing, thanks to the light weight of the material allowing the frame to weigh as much as 40 percent less than a comparable design made in steel. (Aluminum is also easier to recycle.) During the new millennium, Audi also added an additional SUV option, as well as several higher performance cars, and sports cars. By the end of 1999, Audi had sold its one-millionth car in the United States.
Since 1985, Audi built a range of TDI Clean Diesel cars, which boast power and performance with low fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions (fuel consumption is said to be up to 40 percent lower than comparable cars using gasoline engines). A total of more than five million TDI Clean Diesel vehicles have been sold to date.
Today, Audi is a well-respected brand throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world, and its iconic "Progress through Technology," slogan is well known.
Audi Models
Today's Audi models are sold throughout the world, including China and countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Current models include the supermini A1, the small family car A3, the compact executives A4 and A5, the executive A6 and A7, the full-size luxury A8, the compact sports car TT, the sports car R8, the compact crossover SUVs Q3, and Q5 and the full-size crossover SUV Q7.
Sport models include the small family car S3, the compact executives S4 and S5, the executives S6 and S7, the full-size luxury S8, and the compact sports car TTS. Current racing models include the RS3 small family car, the RS5 compact executive car, and the TTRS compact sports car.
Audi Products and Technologies
Today, Audi offers a wide range of vehicles, including both luxury and sports cars. One popular option recently made available by Audi is the Multi Media Interface computerized control system, which is designed to control a wide range of in-car entertainment devices as well as heating, ventilation, and satellite navigation provided through the Audi Navigation System.

My earliest memory is of running along a Hawaiian beach with my mom. I was three.
Unfortunately, that was the last time I visited Hawaii.
Fortunately, a little of Hawaii came to visit me this past summer. My dear friend Amelia brought back 2 huge bags of macadamias from a nut farm that she worked on last spring. One bag contained shelled nuts, roasted varying shades of toasty beige, and the other held the nuts still in their shell, looking like hard, brown marbles of many sizes.
Amelia roasted the unshelled nuts in the oven for the proscribed amount of time, and it was around 10 pm when we tried to crack one open with a hammer on a cutting board. After a few deafening whacks, we decided that cracking macadamias was not an apartment-at-night sort of task; at least, not unless one wished to make enemies of the neighbors.
But some of the shelled nuts went into cookies, along with chunks of vanilla bean-flecked white chocolate, lime zest and flaky salt. Others made an anchor for coconut lemongrass ice cream, served with ginger pineapple upside-down cake.
I'd been hoarding the rest of the macs in the fridge, waiting for inspiration to strike. And it did the other day, as it usually does, when I flipped through one of my favorite cookbooks, Williams Sonoma's Essentials of Baking. I love that this book has all of the classics – apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, whole wheat bread, chocolate cake – with a healthy dose of originals thrown in: lavendar polenta coffeecake, raspberry-fig galettes, strawberry mascarpone tart.
Caramel macadamia tartlets were one such recipe. But it was the variation that sealed the deal, which suggested topping the tartlets with chocolate ganache. I imagined a shower of flaky salt topping the ganache, and the thought of buttery crust, toasty nuts, dark chocolate and flaky salt all together in one confection made me get to work.
As I was going to a gathering of local writers, I decided to make these in bar form, to be cut into bite-sized, cocktail-party-appropriate squares. Though the recipe has three components, all are quick and easy to throw together, and the resulting confection looks and tastes like something you'd buy in a fancy box at an elegant sweet shop. In fact, these would make superb holiday gifts.
When the bars had been baked, carameled, ganached, salted, chilled and cut, I worried that the pieces were too big, and the bars too rich. But that didn't seem to stop the guests at the gathering, or Jay – the bars were duly devoured while many eyes rolled heavenward and fingers were licked.
I love the mild richness of these nuts here so that I hesitate to suggest any substitutes. But what you do in the privacy of your own kitchen is, of course, your own business. If you're not lucky enough to have hand-harvested mac nuts brought to you directly, or to go to Hawaii and get them yourself, know that this recipe only uses 1 cup of the expensive buggers.

Two years ago:
Salted Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut Squares
Adapted from Williams Sonoma's Essentials of Baking
Makes about eighteen 1 1/2″ squares
A few notes: This makes a relatively small batch of (very rich) squares; feel free to double the recipe and bake the bars in a 9×9″ pan. The layer of ganache turned out thicker than I had planned. None of the chocophiles who ate these minded in the slightest, but you can cut the ganache in half if you like. If you use a chocolate with lower cacao mass than the 70% called for, you may need to decrease the cream – or increase the chocolate – to end up with a firm-enough ganache. These bars get soft and gooey at room temp; for best results, store in the fridge until an hour or so before serving. The salt topping will dissolve after an hour or two, so sprinkle the salt just before serving. If I were making these to give as gifts, I would add 1/4 teaspoon of flakey salt to the caramel instead of sprinkling it on top. I so love the macadamias here that I hesitate to suggest substitutions, but all nuts go well with salt, caramel and chocolate. (Peanuts, for instance, could make these taste like a sophisticated Snickers bar…) The lemon juice in the caramel keeps the sugar from crystallizing; lacking a lemon, you can substitute a teaspoon or so of corn syrup.
Buttery crust:
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons (2 ounces/1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold, in 3/4″ chunks
Caramel-Nut Filling:
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon strained fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup roasted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped into halves or quarters (salted or unsalted)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 ounces bittersweet, 70% cacao mass chocolate (see headnote), finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ounces) heavy cream
about 1/4 teaspoon flakey salt (such as Maldon), for sprinkling on top
Make the crust:
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350º. Line a 9×5″ loaf pan with parchment paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil (you can make chris-crossing slings, or just shove a piece in the bottom, but be sure to cover the sides of the pan; see photo in post, above).
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Rub the butter in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse meal, with no large butter chunks remaining. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan.
Bake the crust until set and golden (mine took 40 minutes, but the time may be closer to 20 in a metal pan).
While the crust bakes, make the caramel filling:
Place the water and lemon juice in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Carefully pour the sugar right in the center of the water; if any crystals get on the side of the pot, brush them down into the water. (This helps to prevent crystallization.) Use your fingers to moisten all of the sugar. Place the pot over a medium flame.
Meanwhile, place the cream in a small saucepan and heat over a low flame to a bare simmer, swirling occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. If the cream comes to a simmer before the sugar is caramelized, turn off the heat and cover the cream to prevent a skin from forming.
Cook the sugar, without touching, stirring, or otherwise disturbing it, until it turns a deep amber. You can gently tilt the pot if the caramel is darkening unevenly. When the sugar has turned amber, immediately begin to slowly pour in the hot cream. The caramel with sputter and bubble; keep adding the cream slowly, being careful not to burn yourself on the steam. When the bubbling has subsided, place the pot over a low flame and stir to dissolve any caramel that may be sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Stir in the salt and the nuts.
Pour the nutty caramel over the baked crust, and return to the oven until the caramel is bubbling almost all over, about 20 minutes.
Remove the caramelly bars and let cool to room temperature (you can stick them in the fridge to speed this up).
While the caramelly bars cool, make the ganache:
Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a small bowl. Heat the cream in a small pot to a bare simmer, swirling occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for a minute to melt the chocolate. Gently whisk the ganache until smooth. Keep warm until ready to pour over the cooled caramel. (Or re-warm over a bain marie.)
When the caramelly bars are cool, pour the ganache over the caramel, tilting the pan to create a smooth, even layer. Chill the bars until completely cold and firm, about 2 hours.
Lift the parchment and bars out of the pan (you may need to pry them out with a butter knife or offset spatula) and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the bars into small squares, dipping the knife in hot water and wiping it dry between cuts. Just before serving, sprinkle the bars with flakey salt.
Serve the bars at cool room temperature. Store extras in the fridge, and bring to room temperature an hour or so before serving.

"Fluoride is a known toxin that causes cancer, severe bone fractures and retardation of children. Leading scientific institutions, major universities and Nobel laureates have exposed its danger, yet fluoride is being crammed into the water worldwide. The amount of solid scientific evidence that fluoride kills is overwhelming …A major university study conducted over decades compared rates of bone cancer in
In the 1950's USAF Major George Jordan testified before Un-American Activity Committees of Congress that during his post as US-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to "using fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient." The first experiments ever performed using fluoridated drinking water were done in Communist Russia and Nazi Germany's concentration camps.
"It was Mellon and ALCOA which introduced the policy of putting fluoride into drinking water to make money from a by-product of the aluminum industry which at the time they were struggling to dispose of. It has nothing to do with saving teeth. Fluoride was actually used as a rat poison for 40 years and it is an intellect suppressant." -David Icke, "The Biggest Secret" (385-6)
Fluoride is a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act of 1972. In
"Only 2% of
"If fluoridation creates such a public health hazard and does not significantly reduce tooth decay, why was fluoride ever added to the water supply? How is it that many areas around the country are still adding fluoride to the water supply? Fluoride is an industrial waste product. The 1920's and 30's saw the astronomical growth of the aluminum and phosphate fertilizer industries. Their rapid growth however gave rise to unexpected pollution problems. The pollutant, fluoride. Fluoride pollution of air damaged wildlife, crops, and livestock. Initially, these industries bought up the surrounding fluoride devastated areas. But when fluoride began to take its toll in human health, lawsuits and action by health officials forced the companies to install pollution control devices to trap the fluoride waste products. Unfortunately, this just shifted the problem from airborne fluorides to water borne fluorides and solid fluoride waste products, which were left to pollute rivers, streams, and ground water. One means of profitably disposing of fluoride was to sell it as a rat poison and insecticide. However, since there weren't enough rats and insects around to poison, there still remained a problem of what to do with this excess fluoride. In addition, since fluoride is not biodegradable, excessive use of it as an insecticide and rodenticide would soon create a health hazard for humans." -Alex Christopher, "Pandora's Box – The Ultimate Unseen Hand Behind the New World Order" (419)
Fluoride is put into the water supply of many countries but is also found in toothpaste and other dental products, pesticides (sprayed onto food crops), pharmaceutical drugs, and processed foods. It is one of the main ingredients in PROZAC and Sarin Nerve Gas. For decades children in US schools have been given daily fluoride packets and told to swish it around their mouths for 3 minutes at the beginning of every school day. So under the guise of helping our children's teeth, the Nazi-tested intellect suppressant is swished around every morning before the day's indoctrination lessons. Then in the afternoon it's caffeine and aspartame time with sodas. Coca-Cola is called such because it originally contained cocaine. It contains so much sugar/aspartame that they have to cut the taste with phosphoric acid so you won't gag. In other words, they purposely load it with sugar/artificial sweetener for the drug effects, not for taste. Then they "balance it out" by adding a dangerous acid, large amounts of which cause health problems like ulcers and osteoporosis.The chemicals in our water and soda are just the tip of an iceberg too large for this post. Suffice to say the majority of the "food" lining grocery store shelves is both starved of nutritional value and pumped full of dangerous drugs and chemicals.

Solano County"s third quarter financial report shows highs and lows as the county heads into the end of fiscal year 2013-14.
Tuesday, the Solano County Board of Supervisors will receive a presentation from staff on the third quarter financial status of the county.
The report notes that the general fund revenues are estimated to be $182.6 million, while general fund expenditures are estimated at $185.5 million, excluding contingencies. The gap between the revenues and expenses, or structural deficit, is $2.9 million, which will be backfilled from the unspent budgeted money at the end of the year.
Now the county is projecting a year-end fund balance of $22.3 million and that includes $8.4 million of unspent contingencies.
Additionally, the county began the fiscal year with a general fund balance of $48.6 million and transferred a net $24.4 million to the general fund reserve, California Public Employees Retirement System, Housing SB375, accrued leave payoff and deferred maintenance reserves.
"Funding of these reserves has been a prudent strategy of the board that has allowed the county to weather challenging economic times over the past six years," staff said in a report to the board.
Still, while county general fund reserves are projected to be greater than what was forecast during the midyear review, it"s less than what was actually seen in fiscal year 2012-13.
Staff reported that the third quarter projection of $182.6 million for general fund revenues is up by $2.1 million from the midyear forecast of $180.0 million due to an increase in property tax revenues.
Despite this projected increase, however, the third quarter estimate is still lower than actual general fund revenues received in fiscal year 2012/13 of $185 million.
Staff explained that one-time revenues from the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agencies are lower this fiscal year compared to fiscal year 2012-13.
"Solano County is recovering slowly out of the recession; however, general fund revenues have not recovered back to the high of $230.6 million in fiscal year 2005-06.
Expenditures also are higher than last year.
Staff vacancies, a reduction in Liability Insurance costs, several contracts that either realized savings or will be included in the budget of fiscal year 2014-15 are reasons, according to staff, that expenses aren"t as high during the third quarter as originally expected.
The third quarter projection of $185.5 million is less than midyear forecast of $190.4 million.
Additionally, staff noted that $2.3 million won"t be taken from the general fund to give to the Public Safety Departments due to an increase in revenues from Proposition 172, a half cent sales tax for public safety, and public safety staffing vacancies.
Staff noted that "department heads and their staff have been fiscally prudent in managing their operation. … The departments continue to look for efficient and effective ways to deliver services."
The Solano County Board of Supervisors meets at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the County Government Center, 675 Texas St., Fairfield.

Litigation Round-Up: Where marriage cases stand in the federal appellate courts
April 14, 2014
The winning streak for the freedom to marry continued this week as a federal judge declared that the state of Ohio must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed in other states.
The landmark ruling today was the eleventh federal court ruling in favor of marriage for same-sex couples (see chart, below). Since the United States Supreme Court ruling in Windsor v. United States ten months ago, not one federal judge has ruled against the freedom to marry.
In total, there are more than 60 lawsuits seeking the freedom to marry or respect for same-sex couples' marriages working their way through the system in 30 states or territories. Keeping track of what's going on in state, federal, and trial courts can be challenging, as they move quickly. That's why Freedom to Marry has been keeping tabs on litigation with our Marriage Litigation resource to provide a comprehensive overview at all of the marriage-related legal cases already underway. Special thanks to Kathleen Perrin at Equality Case Files for always being thorough in posting essential documents from the courts.
The national strategy has always been to win a final victory in the Supreme Court; the key to encouraging the Court to rule in favor of the freedom to marry nationwide is to work the tracks of the Roadmap to Victory: growing public support, winning marriage in more states, and ending federal discrimination. By the time we return to the Supreme Court with a marriage case, we must create the climate that maximizes our chances at a final victory. Freedom to Marry applauds the work of the legal organizations behind these marriage lawsuits, and we are excited to continue making the case to win marriage nationwide.
After today's great victory in Ohio, it's a good time to check in on the state of marriage litigation across the country. In nine states, marriage litigation is currently pending at the federal appellate level in five different Circuit Courts. Here are the basics in each:
The 10th Circuit:
Last Thursday, oral arguments were considered by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Kitchen v. Herbert, the Utah lawsuit in which a federal judge struck down the state's ban on marriage for same-sex couples. This week, on Thursday in Denver, the same three-judge panel at the 10th Circuit will hear arguments in Oklahoma's Bishop v. Smith, in which a federal judge also struck down the Oklahoma ban on marriage for same-sex couples. Last month, Freedom to Marry worked as a leading partner on two public education campaigns in these states: We launched Utah Unites for Marriage, a coalition of state and national partners in Utah, as well as Freedom Oklahoma with The Equality Network. These campaigns seek to amplify the conversation about why marriage matters in Utah, Oklahoma, across the 10th Circuit, and throughout the country – all part of our strategy, which has long called for creating the climate that maximizes the chances of winning in court. For more information about marriage litigation at the 10th Circuit, click here.
The 6th Circuit:
All four states in the 6th Circuit currently have litigation pending at the appellate level. Ohio's Obergefell v. Himes - in which a judge ruled that Ohio must respect marriages between same-sex couples for the purpose of listing a surviving spouse on a death certificate - began briefing on April 10, with the plaintiffs' reply brief due May 13. In Michigan, briefing in DeBoer v. Snyder - in which a judge struck down Michigan's constitutional amendment restricting same-sex couples from marriage - begins on May 7, with the plaintiffs' reply brief due June 9. The other two cases - Kentucky's Bourke v. Beshear - in which a judge declared that Kentucky must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed out of state - and in Tennessee's Tanco v. Haslam - which saw action when a judge granted a temporary preliminary injunction respecting the marriages of three plaintiff couples as their case continues through court - are on the same briefing schedule as Michigan.
The 9th Circuit:
Oral arguments have not yet been set in Sevcik v. Sandoval, a Nevada case that seeks to overturn anti-marriage laws across the state. The Nevada Attorney General and Governor have stopped defending the state's marriage ban. As the case waits to be scheduled, Freedom Nevada, a coalition of state and national partners, continues to make the case that Nevada is ready for the freedom to marry.
The 4th Circuit:
Oral arguments in Bostic v. Schaefer, the federal court challenge that brought down Virginia's constitutional amendment restricting marriage to different-sex couples in February 2014, will be heard by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on May 13, 2014. Last week, the plaintiffs filed their reply brief in the appeal - and they were joined later in a friend-of-the-court brief by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring.
The 5th Circuit:
The Texas case DeLeon v. Perry, which received a ruling last month declaring that Texas laws banning same-sex couples from marrying are unconstitutional, has yet to receive a briefing schedule or time frame for oral arguments. You can read an interview with one of the plaintiff couples, Mark and Vic, here.
Other Federal Wins:
- ILLINOIS: A big win from February in Illinois' Lee v. Orr moved up the start date of the freedom to marry in some counties, and the victory has not been appealed. In fact, the Illinois Attorney General instructed all counties to follow the order, which was limited to Cook County. Not all county clerks have complied, however, saying that they will wait until the freedom to marry takes effect in June 2014.
- INDIANA: Last Thursday, in Baskin v. Bogan, a federal judge ruled that the state of Indiana must respect the marriage of a same-sex couple from Munster, Indiana - Amy Sandler and Niki Quasney. One of the spouses, Niki, was diagnosed in 2009 with ovarian cancer and is terminally ill. The judge issued an emergency temporary restraining order declaring that Indiana must respect their marriage. The order will now last for 28 days, and then a preliminary injunction hearing will be held to determine further action. The ruling has not been appealed.
- OHIO: Today's ruling in Henry v. Himes has been stayed and has not yet been appealed. However, the state of Ohio is already in the middle of an appeal in a previous, more limited marriage ruling, and it is likely they will appeal this victory, too.
Looking Ahead:
Nearly 30 other cases are also now being considered in federal court. Most pressing is Geiger v. Kitzhaber in Oregon, where same-sex couples will argue against anti-marriage laws in Oregon on April 23. Soon after, on May 28, oral arguments will be heard in Palladino v. Corbett, which seeks respect for a couple's out-of-state marriage in Pennsylvania. On June 9, a trial is scheduled in Whitewood v. Wolf seeking the freedom to marry and respect for out-of-state marriages in Pennsylvania, and on June 25, oral arguments are scheduled in Louisiana's federal challenge Robicheaux v. Caldwell. Briefing begins April 21 in a federal court challenge in Arizona, and the last date on the calendar for federal lawsuits is in Wisconsin's Wolf v.

by Jim Harris
Bob Moezi, 58, is a man on a mission. Since 1987, he's owned and operated Fino's Pizza at 6784 Germantown Ave. in Mt. Airy, and he aims to change people's perception of pizzeria food. ("Fino" is not a person's name. It means "fine" in Italian.) Bob's always been my go-to guy for vegan and vegetarian take-out, so when I heard that he had yet again revamped his menu, I decided to stop in and find out more.
Mt. Airy resident Moezi (pronounced Mo-ZAY) came to the U.S. from Sicily in 1972 with his parents. They lived in Chestnut Hill, where Bob attended Spring Garden College on Mermaid Lane and studied mechanical engineering.
Around that time he took what was supposed to be a temporary job at a friend's pizzeria in center city. He liked it so much, however, that engineering quickly disappeared from his career radar screen. Eventually he owned pizzerias in Skippack, East Falls, Germantown and two in Mt. Airy, running as many as three at the same time. He is coming up on 25 years at the Germantown Avenue location.
Bob says his mother set him on the path of healthy eating. "She never gave us fried food," he once told me, "and she always used lime or lemon juice rather than salt to enhance flavors."
I doubt if there is even one other vegetarian in the Delaware Valley who owns and operates a pizzeria, but Bob has been a vegetarian since before he opened Fino's in 1987. "I eat a lot of raw and steamed foods," he said. "I believe in freshness and quality. If you eat healthy, you won't be sluggish, and you won't be sick."
Now you might think that Bob would keep his own dietary preferences to himself and not foist them on his customers; after all, it IS a pizzeria, not a salad bar! But a few years ago Bob began working his own healthier foods into his menu. "The food I eat I want to share with everyone," he explained. "If it's good for me, it's good for my customers. Some people still want fried, fatty foods, but a lot of people do care about eating healthy, and they understand my position. People think it costs more to eat healthy, but it does not have to."
Bob experimented for two years with vegan pizza ingredients before putting them on the menu, but he says the response was excellent, especially for his white pizza with steamed broccoli, steamed tomatoes, fresh parsley and basil. Bob insists all his ingredients are fresh, never frozen. He buys organic vegetables every day from local farmers' markets, including those in Germantown and Chestnut Hill. "If you make money here, you should spend it here," he said.
Bob has a new menu introduced just last week that goes much further than ever before in offering what most people would call "health foods." As a result, I asked him the following questions last week, followed by his answers:
•Would you please tell me about the new menu?
"About 75% of my menu now is vegan and vegetarian. Everything new is food that I eat myself, my own recipes. I approached the new menu from a culinary point of view. It all has to taste good and look appealing, and I emphasize quality, not quantity.
"I no longer sell any fried food, only grilled and baked, nothing dipped in grease. If you want fried chicken or French fries, we don't have it. I also use herbs and spices rather than salt and sugar. I've added fresh fruit, as in our mango and pineapple salad, and fresh vegetables, like corn on the cob, eggplant and steamed broccoli. We have six kinds of veggie burgers including black bean cheeseburgers and baked vegan crab cakes. There are now eight different vegan pizzas available, including gluten-free, with four different types of dough.
"We also have specialty sandwiches like vegan chicken parmigiana and vegan meatball parmigiana. I eat them every day. There's no fat in them. We also have whole wheat rolls if you like. The rest of the vegetarian/vegan part of the menu includes wraps, salads, pasta and vegan beef."
•Would you call your fare "fast food?"
"Well it's fast because people can get it fast, but there's a lot of preparation involved. I would call it convenient rather than fast. For me, there are two steps involved. First, the prep work, then second, I have to make sure I have just enough of everything, because it all has to be prepared fresh every day. That's why I run out sometimes. I have to buy fresh herbs and spices."
•Are these menu changes intended to gain a new clientele or convert your old customers?
"Well, I have converted a lot of them. I put them in a new position. They come to me and say, 'The food was delicious. You changed my mind about what I eat.' Once I give them the information and the choice, 10 out of 10 choose healthy. They try it, and they want to try it again. But I've also gained some new customers. I've even got some regulars from center city.
"It's been a gradual transition. You can't change everyone's mind overnight. People have had to trust me, but it's paid off. My customers have been very supportive. Most of them want to eat healthy. They used to think vegan food couldn't possibly taste good, but once you start eating this way, your palate changes."
•How did you learn to cook vegan style?
"I've been vegan for 27 years. In the beginning it was hard to find the kind of food I wanted to eat, so I experimented with my own recipes. Vegetarians have always been able to eat rice and beans, but I've taken it to a whole new level. I gotta be honest with you; in the beginning it was pretty horrible, but not any more."
•Would you ever consider opening a second shop?
I don't know. In order for me to teach someone else the ropes, they'd have to be vegan and work with me for at least six months. It's not rocket science, but you've got to have some talent to do it. I think I'm happy just being in this location. I'm a hands-on kinda guy. I work here 13 hours a day, six days a week."
•How do you keep up that pace?
"I practice what I preach. I eat healthy."
Bob has three children: two boys aged 18 and 19 and a girl, 24. Fino's is open for lunch and dinner every Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, his only day off, Bob often visits area yard sales, where he looks for books on furniture and other goodies. You can see Fino's new menu online at http://www.finospizzeria.com, or call 215-844-1188.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Fred Gulley hasn't been known as a scorer throughout his college career.
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Fred Gulley hasn't been known as a scorer throughout his college career.
The senior has only reached double figures once since transferring to Arkansas. He never did it during his time at Oklahoma State. He's averaging 3.9 points a game this season and his 10 points against Minnesota serves as his career-high, too.
So Gulley's one-man, seven-point spurt during the first half of Arkansas' 87-85 overtime win against Kentucky was unexpected. But Gulley enjoyed it.
"I was confident taking the shots, and I knocked them down," said Gulley, who finished with nine points against the Wildcats. "It was good. My teammates got me the ball in a position where I could make some plays. I'm glad I completed them."
It's not known if Gulley will continue to be a scoring threat today, when the Razorbacks (12-4, 1-2 in Southeastern Conference) go back on the road to play at Georgia (8-7, 2-1 in SEC). But there's no doubt he'll continue to play an important role as Arkansas tries to build off the Kentucky win and put an end to its road woes.
That's because Gulley — whether he's scoring or not — has been a steady performer for an Arkansas team that has plenty of talented players. He may not be one of the team's top offensive options, but Gulley does bring a solid assist-to-turnover ratio (2.8 to 1) to Georgia. He has turned it over just six times in his last 225 minutes.
Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said it shows Gulley's value to the Hogs.
"He's a facilitator," Anderson said. "He understands that. He understands what the coaching staff is asking for him and what he can do to help our basketball team. He's not trying to go over and do things he can't do."
That was all Gulley was looking for when he left Oklahoma State midway through the 2011-12 season. The Fayetteville native wanted to come home to play for the Razorbacks and has gotten the opportunity the past two seasons.
He wasn't eligible until after the fall semester in 2012, so he sat out the first eight games. It wasn't a simple transition when he got on the court.
Gulley played in 21 games and earned nine starts last season, but averaged just 1.5 points and 13 minutes a game. He didn't play in Arkansas' season-ending loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament, but wasn't discouraged by the difficult year.
"Last year it was kind of like getting thrown into the fire at mid-season, especially with conference just being around the corner from it," Gulley said. "I got to do a full offseason and summer of working out and preparing my game, and it's really benefitted me. Especially getting to play in all the games before conference."
Gulley has started 14 of Arkansas' 16 games this season and is averaging 3.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He's playing 16.2 minutes a game, but was on the floor much more in Arkansas' overtime games against Florida and Kentucky.
He played 27 minutes in the Florida loss and 24 against the Wildcats.
"He's tough. He works hard every day," guard Ky Madden said. "And what he brings for the team is his leadership and he's not afraid of nothing. He doesn't get down on himself whether he makes a bad play or a good play. He's always even minded, just staying himself. That's what we need on this team. … He calms us down."
Said Gulley: "I want to be somebody that's a stabilizer for the team. If things are going bad, you can get the ball in my hands and I'll make the right play."
But Gulley added that scoring is fun, too.
He got seven of his nine points in the Kentucky game during that first-half run, which helped Arkansas build a 30-25 lead. The guard made a layup to trigger the spurt, tying the game at 23-23. He then knocked down a short jumper and followed it with a 3-pointer to break another tie, giving Arkansas a 28-25.
In the end, Madden's 18 points and Qualls' game-winning dunk overshadowed Gulley's early spurt. But the guard's contributions weren't forgotten, especially since he played with four fouls through much of the second half and overtime.
Gulley called it the best game of his career and Anderson agreed.
"I thought Fred, that was probably one of his best games overall," Anderson said Tuesday night. "He was engaged. During that period he was the hot hand and took what the defense gave him. On defense, he was excellent. He played with four fouls in the second half. He gave us great energy.
"A fifth-year senior — he showed some of the tangibles he brings to this team."
Gulley said he enjoyed the moment and is counting on more as the season continues.
"I'm here getting the opportunity to play in front of my family and friends and contribute," Gulley said about his senior season. "I couldn't ask for any more."

I was visiting Mrs B's Baking Blog and came across her delicious looking Sunshine Tealoaf and it gave me the idea to bake a tealoaf for the hubby (my hubby loves tealoaf) and at the same time use up some of my left over home-made mincemeat from xmas. This loaf is moist and full of flavour, perfect to accompany a cup of hot tea/coffee. I have a feeling this won't last long!

Wonderful loaf, I miss not having anything to have around with my tea. Hubby bought some bars yesterday (i've yet to try) and he said they're awful! Hence, why it's always best to have some homemade loaf around.

Flames general manager Darryl Sutter, as is his usual practice, has wrapped up his summer business very early, which has opened the door for idle speculation about Tanguay's possible return to the Flames. Nothing concrete, you understand, or even oatmealish in terms of substance. But there's just enough gossiping and just enough fans with nothing else to occupy their attentions and not quite enough Tanguay actually signing somewhere else to stop all this nonsense for the whole thing to keep growing unchecked like the mold on the for the forgotten corned beef on rye sandwich at the back of the fridge.
Most of the Tanguay talk is propped up by the notion that the Flames' top-six situation remains a little rickety and that the winger is getting so desperate for work that he'll play for any loose change he can find in the Saddledome seats. Supporters of this course of action also take note of the fact that a Keenan-free Calgary might entice Tanguay to give the Flames another go and Sutter's willingness to bring former players back for encores – hello there Jamie McLennan, Craig Conroy, Brandon Prust, Jamie Lundmark, etc.
All that said, Tanguay's return seems very unlikely, and we say that despite Sutter's penchant for shoving seemingly unlikely scenarios down the throats of skeptical fans and especially journalists. We also say that despite the fact that regardless of what Tanguay's many detractors may think, the 29-year-old Ste-Justine, Que., native would be a wonderful fit for the 2009-10 Flames.
The problems are as follows:
- No matter how discounted Tanguay might be at this late stage of the flea market, his price can't possibly fall low enough for the Flames to be able to afford him unless they dump a contract.
- The Flames have already trimmed the two most obviously expendable hunks of payroll, namely the contracts for Jim Vandermeer and Wayne Primeau.
- The suggestion that defenceman Cory Sarich should be sacrificed for forward help and that the Mark Giordanos, Adam Pardys, Anton Stralmans and Staffan Kronwalls of the Flames' world will all simply move up one notch to pick up the slack isn't as neat and simple as proponents would have you believe.
- Some of the fans clamouring for the signing of Tanguay are the same people who were laughing at the Tampa Bay Lightning for having all those forwards on one-way deals a summer ago. Well, don't look now guys and gals but the Flames are one forward away from hitting the outskirts of Koules-Lawton Territory.
Of course, tongues will continue to wag until Tanguay finally finds a new address and besides, pondering the repatriation of Tanguay does seem like a better investment of Flames fans' energies and hopeful thinking than a second act of Todd Bertuzzi.
Oh, and by the way? It's only five weeks until the start of training camp.

Denis Hennessy needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
We need a logo for an online noticeboard service called clikboard.
clikboard is a new web application that lets all sorts of groups and businesses create a noticeboard on the web. The thing that makes a clikboard different from, say, a simple web site, is that the author can easily change the content at any time, by simply clicking on the text with his web browser.
You can see the current styling of the site from these images:http://peerassembly.com/images/home.jpghttp://peerassembly.com/images/new_board.jpghttp://peerassembly.com/images/plans.jpg
Right now, we're thinking that the logo will appear on the top left of the header area, which means it should work well over those colors. It would also be nice if it could work on a white background.
The design of the site is very much based on familiar, non-threatening images like corkboard, push pins, post-its, sellotape, etc. We want people that would never dream of using an online service as part of their group to feel comfortable.
Also, since we don't have a bunch of money to spend on advertising, we need a logo that will be memorable and help people remember the site name.
Ideas we had so far (feel free to ignore these):
- Putting the 'clik' above 'board' so that it's bracketed by the vertical of the 'b' and the 'd'.
- Making the 'K' in Clikboard a capital to emphasize the missing 'c' (we like people to think clik not click)
- Making something that looks like a glossy fridge magnet
- Using an image like a link mouse cursor over a board
- A clean, memorable design
- An association between the design and the site name
- Ideally, reducible to a favicon
- A boring design
- Clipart

Horton had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit113 ontwerpen ingezonden door28 freelance designers.
We are a fresh new company that produces the grapes on our own property and have a world class wine maker who tends to our fruit with outstanding results.
We are keen to produce a label that is not only presentable but one that we & your good self would be proud to put on a table with guests, friends and business associates. We don't want to be old world nor do we want to be crazy / zany
We primarily produce red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz group that are cared for by hand every year. The vineyard is now about fifteen years old and continues to produce excellent fruit which equates to brilliant wine. We are based in the Yarra Valley just to the noth east of Melbourne in Victoria. Our sub region is Kangaroo Ground which is developing a strong reputation for Cabernets
Obviously there are alot of other wine makers who put bottles on the shelf and we are trying to not only capture the consumers eye but retain their pleasant experince with a label that is clear and iconic
We believe that our target market is predominately male with an age group ranging from 30 to 60 years old. Cab Sav as it is commonly shorten to in Australia had traditionally been a bold, quite high tanin wine, which helps celler the wine for longer periods. A wine collectors wine not so much a wine that you would start out drinking.Females tend to favour the sweeter wines and lean towards white wine, that is not to say that females do not drink Cab Sav, there is certainly a market , its just smaller than the male market.
Due to the fact that these grapes are grown in a cooler climate they are more fruit driven and have less harsh tanins.
Like all thing there tends to be trends or popular seasonal options that tend to come and go. Both Cab Sav and Shiraz , along with blends are still very popular here in Australia and are great with a steak .
Is it important that the brand name is dominate on the label and that it has clear a concise lettering. You guys know what fonts work . . .
The label size is 85 millimetres wide and 100 millimetres in height
We believe that the label should be off white with dark text ( keep in mind that the bottle is a very dark rich green almost black )
The label is to contain 1. The brand name . .. " Cabrolin "
2. The logo or stand out feature
3. The wine style ' Cabernet Shiraz '
4. The region " Yarra Valley "
5. The year of Vintage " 2010 "
The intention is to maybe match the stelvin or cap of the bottle in a similar colour to the logo for identification reasons.
We have attached an idea that we like, we see it as something that is creative, yet representive of the fruit . The colour is to out landish for most older men but might give you something to think about . . .. We are seeking your ideas regarding a logo it doe not have to be a bunch of grapes . . Iconic is the key .. .
Generally the labels are rectangular but maybe a cut away or logo over hang may add to the visual appearance
I hope you are up to the challenge and who knows we might even get to celebrate over a glass . . . ..

We went on the Everest Base Camp trek with Mountain guide Mr Sanjib . We had a fantastic time and would recommend Mr Sanjib to anyone who wants to do this. Prior to the trip we were impressed with the information and advice we were given by email. When we arrived at Kathmandu we were met Sanjib, who throughout our time in Nepal was extremely helpful and ensured that we enjoyed the trip and looked after all our needs. The trek itself was an amazing experience, and although we both suffered to some extent from the effects of altitude, we made it to the Base Camp. We would like to especially thank Sanjib and Rabin for providing such a great experience, and would recommend Mr Sanjib to anyone.
Our trek was in early January and the weather was generally sunny with a few overcast days and one overnight snowfall. The temperature was pleasant for walking in the daytime, but it was extremely cold when the sun went down. The food was basic and the menus were generally the same in all the accommodations, however we had no complaints and all our food was included in the price of the trip which made it very easy and great value for money.
Thanks So much Sanjib I will definitely come back to Nepal
Trekking Guide In Nepal
:Sanjib Adikhari ist recomended 2012 by German trekkers Sabine and
Frank from Berlin
The ultimate compliment for Sanjib came from fellow trekkers we met along the waywho remarked how lucky we were to have a guide so personable, knowledgeable and
dedicated to us and our experience. We could not have agreed with them more. *We did
a 21 day Annapurna circuit, Annapurna base camp trek and Langtang Valley trek and
having never trekked this length before, we were both novices. It is without a
doubt, that had our guide been anyone other than Sanjib, we would not have had
nearly the rich, authentic and thoroughly enjoyable experience we did. When trekking
with Sanjib we enjoyed:
* honest, knowledgeable and sincere discussions regarding anything from Nepal\'s
history and current politics, local religions and culture history, to geography
natural landscape and all Mountains Name
* a sensitivity and sensibility to allow a good balance between conversation and
respecting an individual or couple's need for privacy * over 9 years of trekking
guide experience
* a respect for an individual's desired pace and physical condition
* an intimate knowledge of the best accommodations, tea stops and places of interest
along the way, according to our own individual budget
We would highly recommend any potential trekker in Nepal to enlist the services of
Sanjib Adhikari. It is without a doubt that you will be richly rewarded if you do so
Trek in Nepal his contact address is: email@example.com and his website :
Silvana Pagani from Italy wrote in 2011: "My friend Sanjib Adhikari, Nepalse Guide
Silvana Pagani from Italy wrote in 2012 about my experience in Nepal and recommends
as guide, Sanjib Adhikari.
This year at the end of february i went in Nepal for 18 days for the second time and
i did a small trekking in the Annapurna region, I went to visit Pokhara, Kathmandu,
Bakthapur and Nagarkot and I saw the National Park of Chitwan and in this trip I had
the pleasure to meet Sanjib Adhikari.
He is an independent trekking guide and tour operator in Nepal and he has already
obtained trekking guide license from the ministry of tourism, government of Nepal.
In his work Sanjib is a person very responsible and serious, very helpful and
attentive to his customers, he knows very well the mountain because he has many
years of experience and is also an excellent guide for visiting the cities.
He is someone very competent in his work and always ready to find the best solution,
if necessary and speaks English very well.During the trekking and the tours he will
tell you many interesting things about culture, about life in the villages,
mountains, history and traditions in Nepal.
The best thing is that Sanjib loves his country very much and loves his work and
always manages to convey all his enthusiasm with simple ways and always with the
smile. He is a very nice person and is always attentive to the needs of his
customers. Sanjib is also very funny and after this experience we became a very good
friend. Next year at the end of January I will return for the third time in Nepal
and Sanjib will be again my guide.
For these reasons I am very glad to report all references of Sanjib

Rick Perry Will Save the Boy Scouts from Mitt Romney
Why did Rick Perry completely change his mind about entering the presidential race, thereby stripping Mitt Romney of his inevitable frontrunner status? Perhaps he's too flippant about the whole deal. Or he just wants to exact revenge on Romney for dishonoring his beloved Boy Scouts, nine years ago.
Perry, a 61-year-old man, still wears his Eagle Scout pin on his suit lapels. He takes pride in his history with the Boy Scouts of America, an organization in which middle-aged men teach young boys how to rub sticks together. And he was not happy when Mitt Romney wouldn't allow Boy Scouts to share their slave labor at the 2002 Olympics. From the Boston Globe:
Perry, who proudly wears an Eagle Scout pin on his lapel, has harshly criticized Romney for a decision made while he ran the Olympics not to allow Boy Scouts to be official volunteers during the games.
"Several years have gone by, and neither Mitt Romney nor anyone else who served as an official of the 2002 Winter Olympics has given a clear and logical explanation of why the door to volunteerism was shut on a willing 'army' of Boy Scout volunteers,'' Perry wrote in his 2008 book, "On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts are Worth Fighting For.''
Romney claims that the decision was made because "most" Boy Scouts weren't 18, the minimum age for volunteers. Perry, however, believes Romney "made the decision based on political opportunism, citing the controversial issue at the time of Boy Scouts not allowing gay troop masters," in the Globe's words. This was before Romney's five-year presidential candidacy began, when he didn't pretend to despise gay people. Speaking of, have you seen this cute pink 2002 Romney "I love the gays" flyer? Things change, boy, do they ever.
