Heres a
great story
of another
rock star
chef. Hes a
young
Italian kid
from NYC who
grew up
hanging out
at his
familys
restaurant
business and
eventually
went off to
refine his
skills at
culinary
school. In
fact, his
entire
career has
been spent
working in
commercial
kitchens and
he holds an
associates
degree in
Culinary
Arts and
bachelors in
hospitality
management.
His passion
for food has
taken him
from cutting
edge
kitchens in
New York
City to the
Caribbean,
Ireland and
Russia, but
he now calls
Del Mar,
California,
his home.
Hes the
executive
chef at a
tony new
restaurant
near the
Pacific
Coast called
Bistro 39.
A little
cultural
shock for
the chef
maybe, but
Southern
California
residents
and visiting
travelers
have a real
taste treat
in store if
they get a
chance to
savor some
of the many
surprises
cooked up by
Larry
DiFolco. |

A little known niche in the
travel and tourism market (at
least to us) is the recreational
park trailer industry. Sometimes
referred to as park models,
these are really cute 400 square
foot manufactured
vacation cottages youll find at
nearly 12,000 campgrounds and RV
resorts across the country. |
|
|
These modern
versions of
the old log
cabin summer
home are
designed as
weekend
retreats or
seasonal
vacation
dwellings
and some are
even solar
powered so
they can
provide a
cozy,
comfortable
retreat in
even the
remotest of
locations.
Typically
upscale in
appearance,
they often
include
modern
appliances,
hardwood
floors, bay
windows and
lofts as
well as
cherry, oak
or maple
cabinetry.
Most
importantly,
they are
also very
affordable,
with prices
starting in
the $30,000
USD range.
Bill Garpow
will tell us
more about
this most
delightful
way
to commune
with the
great

sports to

sports,
Sandy takes

nostalgic
trip back to

sparkling
Lake
Michigan

sailing,
fishing,
kayaking,

water
sports!) as
well as the
full
spectrum of
winter
sports to
include
skiing,
snowshoeing,
hunting, ice
fishing, and
all with a
big ETC. Oh,
and if
special
events,
festivals,
and
celebrations
are to your

Northern
Michigan
will not
disappoint.

FINAIR -
85 years old
looking into the
future of flying
in another 85
years, 2093.

OK,
just
how
green
can
an
airline
possibly
become?
Find
out
the
course
of
sustainable
development
this
85
year-old
airline
set
out
on
over
two
decades
ago.
Kati
heads
up
all
things
environmental
at
Finnair
Group
and
points
out
that
effective
sustainability
strategies
and
staying
highly
competitive
are
not
mutually
exclusive
ideals.
Finnairs
approach
incorporates
the
latest
technological
advances,
direct
routes,
optimum
flight
levels
and
efficient
fleet
planning
to
achieve
green
aviation.
This
year,
Finnair
introduces
the
new,
greener
A330-300
aircraft
on
its
New
York-Helsinki
route,
with
fuel
consumption
and
emissions
20%
lower
than
existing
levels.
We
still
have
a
way
to
go
as
the
International
Air
Transport
Association
(IATA)
has
set
the
lofty
(pun
acknowledged)
goal
of
emission-free
aviation
by
2050.
Finnair
intends
to
lead
the
way. |
