eryday. Over the last 12 years Microsoft has diligently looked for problems or secu- rity holes and created patches and fix’s for them that we the us- ers know as “windows updates”. This April Microsoft

“Well in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!!” “Oh that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28!”, says another, flicking his tail. At this point, they notice that a greyhound dog has been sitting there listening. “I don’t mean to boast,” says the greyhound, “but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!”
The horses are clearly amazed. “Wow!” says one, after a hushed silence. “A talking dog.”

Sebastopol, CA. ~ Since 1989, ReCoop Barrels, set among the vineyards of Sonoma County California, has been coordinating efforts with the local wine com- munity to help reduce the waste- ful elimination of wine barrels. What others were discarding, used but viable barrels, ReCoop Bar- rels saw as an opportunity and developed a process to recondition barrels making them reusable and more affordable. By giving bar- rels a “second life” for reuse in the community benefits everyone - the environment, the winery, and the consumer. This in turn helps sus- tain the quality of our local econ- omy. All our barrels are skillfully remanufactured by our employees. You can find out more informa- tion at
