B rianna has always had a love for fashion for as long she can remember. Maybe growing up in a school that made her wear uniforms drew her to fashion; or maybe it was just in her DNA. Either way, she finds she can express herself through the clothes she wears. “I love creating music and fashion and most of my inspirations are drawn from both. If I were to have an ideal fashion type, mine would be limitless because I feel that fashion is meant to have no bounds, so there is never an excuse to not try something in the name of Fashion. “
Kinsey CaRlson - Book revieW
K insey Carlson is a student based in Madera Ranchos, California. She has always loved the written word, despite her bountiful experience with borderline-psychotic English teach-ers. When she was ten, she decided she wanted to be a book editor so could read Harry Potter before everyone else. She enjoys playing tennis, long walks on the beach and correcting people on the difference between “your” and “you’re.”

“Let’s Grow”

Tucked together neatly on a small stage in a seedy coastal bar we experi-enced the sounds of a band called All Natural Ingredients.
From the first note wailed out by singer/songwriter Michael Morse, we could tell we were in for a fantastic night of music. If you took the sounds of The Police and Steely Dan, then mixed in a little Radio-head, you would have the sound of ANI.
Using vintage influence combined with modern sounds I compared the front man to the likes of Paul Banks (Interpol). Mike Sharpe, sat back on the drums banging away with perfect rhythm, of-ten looking like a toy monkey blasting out the beats. Keyboardist Pat Patterson brought out the space-like sounds in perfect time with the deep melodic bass playing of Reed Burnham.
ANI has played everywhere, from bars, dinner venues, cafes, to outdoor festivals.

We were able to catch them play on the Central Coast at a place called Fuel Dock just after their per-formance in “Band together” a benefit in San Luis Obispo, for the area’s Brighten A Corner Ministry. Band together helps fund the living conditions of people facing difficulties in life.

For our first Date Night we decided
on an upscale American restaurant
with family appeal. We agreed upon
The Vineyard, in Madera California. Our
loosely lit dark wood corner booth was the
perfect spot for a romantic evening.
For a place named The Vineyard the wine
selection was below our expectations. They
offered a very limited amount of wines by
the glass. I chose the Local Fasi Crest Syrah
which I found to have a delightful oak fla-
vor. She chose the Wente - Livermore Val-
ley, Chardonnay and described it as perfect!
Our server was quiet and knowledgeable
yet seemed robotic at times.
The weekly updated menu was modest
but offered a wide array of dishes.
After the wine the first thing to come to

the table was warm sourdough bread with an
amazing olive tepanade for both dipping or
spreading. Next we split an ice cold wedge
salad. It was big enough for two and had just
the right amount of dressing.
Midway through the salad the calamari arrived
and was served with three delicious dipping
sauces! Equal parts rings & tentacles this lightly
battered dish was fried to perfection.
Glancing around the restaurant, I soaked in
the family atmosphere we were looking for.
Patrons were chatting away, sometimes having
to raise their voice to overcome the slight hum
of the 99 freeway just 100 yds away.
With perfect timing our server appeared with
our entrees.

What he ate
Perfect Chardonnay!
On a bed of mashed potatoes surrounded by a red moat of gravy the lamb shank looked like something rising out of the prehistoric tarpits of deliciousness. The vegetable medley added to the great meshing of flavors in this tasty dish.
She ordered the Shrimp Scampi. 6 jumbo prawns and angel hair pasta, you can’t go wrong with this one! The light buttery angel hair pasta wading in a creamy shrimp sauce was the perfect accompaniment to the Wente Chardonnay.

Overall The Vineyard offered up exactly what we were looking for that night. Next time you are in or around Madera CA make sure you check out The Vineyard Restaurant & Bar. 605 South I Street | Madera, CA | 559-674-0923 | vineyardrestaurant.com

After the entrees our server brought us their Créme Brûlée. Light and fluffy with a caramelized sugar top. This custard style dish was as delicious as it was photogenic.
So delicious!

o ff the beaten path in Paso Robles, lies a small winery named Chronic Cellars it’s harder to find, and nothing at all like some
of the larger wineries in the area.
Approaching the small cottage, we could tell right away that this tasting room was going to be much more laid back and fun, just like us!
My senses were flooded as we entered the tasting room. The walls were covered in vibrant “Day of the Dead “esque paintings and a large red pool table offered up a friendly pub like feel. The bottle labels were just as eclectic, with humourous and slightly ris-que names. We learned the artist on the bottles as well as the walls were created by Joe Kalionzes a good friend of owners, brothers Josh & Jake Beckett.
In 2004 the Beckett brothers decided to develop a wine catering to the younger, more hip wine con-noisseur. Learning the craft of wine making and all aspects involved, The Beckett Brothers broke free from their family owned Peachy Canyon Winery and

Chronic Cellars was born.
A true reflection of what Paso has to offer each bottle of Chronic contains only the best local grapes! You can taste the brothers hard work and experience in each sip of Chronic wine.
We tasted 7 delicious wines during our visit. My favor-ite white was the 2011 Stone Fox - 29% Marsanne, 28% Roussanne, 26% Viognier, 17% Grenache Blanc. My favorite red was the 2010 Suite Petite - 67% Pe-tite Sirah, 33% Syrah.
We ended up taking home a bottle of 2010 Purple Paradise - 70% Zinfandel, 30% Petite Sirah. This wine has a deep purple color giving it it’s name and has a smokey / fruity taste. I typically drink whites but this day fell in love w/ a purple!
You can tell the goal at Chronic is to make drinking wine a fun and easygoing experience that people of all ages (over 21) can enjoy. No stuffiness and pinkies up here!
We’ve visited lots of wineries in California but will never again make the trip to the Central Coast with out first visiting our friends at Chronic and picking up a bottle of Paradise! CCM

here in Central California, the weeks are getting warmer and so are this month’s hot new books!
This in mind, I chose two novels that I thought were very different in genre, but also conveyed the same growing sense of adventure we all feel as the days get longer and our hemlines get shorter.
Paris In Love seemed to ooze with chic serenity, which was exactly what I needed with final exams knocking on my door. Witty and real this journey of one family and their dog to Paris was a joy to read!
In sharp contrast I read The Innocent, which jumped out at me from the shelves when I saw it was written by the fabulous David Baldacci. Full of horror and suspense this is one I couldn’t put down!
I had a blast bringing in the summer reading both of these books and I guarantee you will as well!

Paris in Love: A Memoir by Eloisa James
The InnocentBy David Baldacci
Paris in Love caught my eye mainly because I myself am taking a tour of Europe this July. However, upon opening I discovered that this book is much more than a travel guide. It follows one woman and her family (and occasionally an obese Chihuahua) as they pack up their life in the suburbs of New Jersey to spend a year on sabbatical in Paris. Unique to this novel is the format: it utilizes the author’s Facebook posts and tweets as well as short essays to narrate her journey while keep-ing the reader interested. The fantastic thing about this book is the author’s sense of reality. Her witty humor and relatable struggles made me feel as if I’d known her for years. She covers her bout with breast cancer, the curiosities of marriage, the struggles of motherhood and the fabulousness of French women with such grace that you cannot help but fall in love with her little world. My favorite blurb states
“tHey Don’t get DivorceD
over Here. it’s cause tHey
kiss so mucH.”
In short: If you enjoy an enriching, heartfelt and slightly slow-paced novel, I highly recommend this book. Plus, she includes a list of her favorite muse-ums, restaurants and boutiques in the back. Score!
book revieW
icould tell just by glancing at The Innocent that it was going to be an intense read. For one, it’s written by David Baldacci, author of the bestselling Camel Club series. Even with my insanely packed schedule, I finished it in just a few days.
it’s one oF tHose noveLs
tHat keeps you up Way
too Late at nigHt
The story centers on Will Robie, a government-assigned assassin given a mission that crosses his moral line. Quickly the hunter becomes the hunted, and Robie finds himself fleeing for his life.
Headed for New York, he finds himself face to face with a young girl possessing a secret, and on a personal quest.
The book is indeed violent, but if you can handle some blood and gore, definitely give it a shot. You won’t regret it.
