2011 Alumus of the Year
Alumnus of the Year 2011
We are pleased to announce Sheryl Russell ('74)
as 2011 Alumnus of the Year.
Sheryl Russell was the 1974 valedictorian of San Diego Christian College (SDCC), formerly Christian Heritage College. Sheryl laughs at the competition for valedictorian as there were only 2 graduates in the school's inaugural 4-year graduating class!
Sheryl was born in the Philippines to a Navy family and lived overseas until the age of 5. She was raised in a conservative family but did not attend church regularly—only at holidays such as Christmas and Easter. "My family values were strong, but not Christian," she recalls.
Sheryl became a Christian when she was a senior in high school. "God is always wooing us and I had a hunger for Christ," she said. While attending a Youth for Christ Bible study led by former NFL player, Ray Schmautz, Sheryl prayed a simple prayer accepting Christ as Lord.
Ray recommended that Sheryl begin attending Scott Memorial Baptist Church, but she did not take his advice until five months later after hearing Dr. Tim LaHaye speak at the wedding of a family friend. Sheryl remembered, "His message at the wedding was awesome." After discovering that Dr. LaHaye was pastor of Scott Memorial, she knew where she wanted to attend the church. "God knew what He was doing," she stated. "I was a wet sponge and could not get enough. I attended evenings and weekends and got involved with various church groups. It was just what I was looking for."
After graduating from high school in 1969, Sheryl began attending San Diego State University (SDSU). Although she was interested in attending the newly-founded San Diego Christian College, her parents were unsure about the school and felt they could not afford the tuition. One afternoon while picking Sheryl up from SDSU, Sheryl's father caught a glimpse of her psychology professor. "He was dressed like a hippie," Sheryl remembers. "Dad became immediately convinced that I should attend a conservative Christian school." With financial help from a family friend, Sheryl was able to start her studies at SDCC in the fall of 1970.
Sheryl has fond memories of her time at SDCC, especially of a summer trip to India in 1972. After reading about Amy Carmichael's work with orphanages in India, Sheryl contacted Underfell, a small orphanage founded by Carmichael. Sheryl said, "I wrote the orphanage a letter and later spent three months teaching Bible classes and just being a part of the orphans' lives." In addition to her trip overseas, Sheryl accompanied missions groups to Mexico and served as a counselor at a Summer Servants camp.
While attending SDCC, Sheryl also worked for the newly-started Institute for Creation Research (ICR) with Dr. Henry Morris. Sheryl said that her work with ICR helped her cultivate her "natural ability to organize" and gain valuable business experience.
Sheryl met her future husband and business partner, Paul, while preparing for a mission trip with Scott Memorial Church. "Paul and I were still in high school and he was two years younger, but he impressed me…a guy with such a passion for the Lord." They were friends for two years before they started dating and were married three years later. Paul and Sheryl have been married for 36 years and have four grown children, and three grandchildren.
After Sheryl received her education degree from SDCC and Paul received his Communication degree from SDSU, they both took teaching positions at Christian High School. In 1980, Paul produced a musical with Christian High. It was this experience that launched what has become Paul and Sheryl's lifelong work. Paul's passion for musical theater and Sheryl's good business sense have provided the impetus for Christian Youth Theater and Christian Community Theater.
Christian Youth Theater (CYT) is an after-school theater arts training program for students ages 4-18. Since its founding in 1981, CYT has grown to be the largest youth theater program in the nation with affiliates across the country training thousands of students each year. CYT offers theater arts classes focusing on/in drama, voice, dance and providing a broad spectrum of specialty theatrical experiences. Enrolled students have the opportunity to work behind the scenes or audition and perform on stage in a Broadway-style musical performed for the community. Christian Community Theater (CCT) provides local performance and entertainment opportunities featuring San Diego adult and youth talent. CCT/CYT partnered with SDCC to launch the Musical Theater major in 2005. SDCC students now have the unique opportunity to work closely with CCT/CYT as they perform, take classes and learn the business of musical theater.
Sheryl has been acknowledged for her business accomplishments by the Women Together organization for her work in the arts and has received the Channel 10 Leadership Award. She was also honored as Mother of the Year by March of Dimes. She is currently serving as a "mentor mom" for the Mothers of Preschoolers organization (MOPS). San Diego Christian College is now privileged to honor Sheryl with the 2011 Alumnus of the Year award. SDCC is celebrating 40 years, and it is very fitting that the first valedictorian is being honored with this award.

Northwestern New Mexico Restaurant Reviews
Fast-food and familiar franchise restaurants thrive in this region, but there are also lots of reputable homegrown establishments. The B&Bs here most often serve delicious, homemade breakfasts (and some serve equally tasty dinners). Western favorites like rib-eye steak and barbecue pork and chicken are common menu items, breakfast burritos are ubiquitous, and, as elsewhere in New Mexico, topping everything is red and green chile sauce, commonly referred to simply as "chile." Vegetarians take note: chile is often cooked with pork or beef, but many restaurants do offer a meatless version; always ask. Posole is another popular dish usually made with pork, but vegetarian versions do sometimes appear. Other local specialties include Navajo fry bread, which can be served plain, or topped with honey and powdered sugar, or taco-style with meat, beans, lettuce, and cheese; and mutton stew such as you would be served at a pueblo's feast day. Delicious bread and pies, baked in beehive-shaped outdoor hornos (ovens), are sold at roadside stands at some pueblos.

Annual Ei Business Plan CompetitionSeptember 2012
by Calvin Chin
The Redeemer Entrepreneurship Initiative ("Ei") will host its annual Business Plan Competition Kickoff on Thursday evening, September 26. It is our eighth competition and couldn't be timelier as New York City continues to be a beacon for start-up activity. Our 20 winners and other entrants from prior competitions are currently toiling throughout the city, in Silicon Alley (Flatiron), Wall Street, L.I.C., Dumbo, Mott Haven, and Williamsburg. Ventures such as Hoppit!, Tegu, Restore NYC, 100Cameras, Arts & Minds, and A House on Beekman, to name a few, push ahead their mostly early-stage entrepreneurial ventures in cafes, shared work spaces and incubators. This entrepreneurial spirit is core to Redeemer—from our humble beginnings in 1989 to bring the gospel to New York City and our recent move to a collegiate model on the way to truly becoming a church for the city.

"If you were half as superior as you claim to be," Kai snapped, "you'd just leave her alone, her contempt below your lofty notice. Clearly your belief in your own worth is compromised. You talk about second chances, to Shari and myself who had to drag ourselves out of depravity simply so that even thinking about offering us a hand up wouldn't have been monstrous. Comparatively you had every chance handed to you. It's a joke, a weak one, and we see it. We grew up in this place, in this filth. We were born in the gutter and we clawed out.
Shari wanted to give that girl a second chance, a hand up out of here. She wanted to take her with us and actually ensure Kana took the chance she'd been offered. Do you know what the filth does down here, Yuanjun? Do you want to know the dirty, nasty little secret that we all hide from?
Ah-" He said softly, dark eyes like flint, "except you already know it, don't you? The secret is that you cannot get out on your own. Everyone needs someone, Shari. Sogi had people. I had someone. Shari, unfortunately for her, seems to be stuck with me- we all know I'm hardly a paragon of virtue, don't we?- and you, you insufferable, silly little woman, you have Rin.
Who does Kana have?" He shook his head in disgust. "You seem to think that by not acing every fight we ever have all by yourself you are somehow "teaching" us. This is ridiculous. Your attitude that people should pull themselves up by the strings on their shoes is obnoxious. Your condescending assurances that it's our fault that we're still feet on the ground, as you refuse to lower the ladder to the goddamn pedestal you believe you're standing on is a self-delusion that's almost impressive.
We are supposed to be a team, Yuanjun. Nobody has to like each other. But for Kami's sake and Rin's, control yourself. Nobody cares how much you hate Shari. Nobody cares how much she hates you. It's boring, annoying, and if you do this idiotic fight later all you're doing is wasting time nobody has. I loathe you, Yuanjuan, to me you are utterly contemptible. But even I know you're better than this."
"Now," he said calmly, "I am going to go and talk to Shari. At Shari. You're both behaving like children. Control yourself."
Grimly, he set off after Shari.

Prince George's County Board of Education discussed strides in student achievement during its meeting Sept. 20.
Gladys Whitehead, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for Prince George's County Public Schools, presented student achievement statistics to the board. Most of the data showed gains of a couple percentage points in areas such as college readiness, AP scores of 3 or higher, and high school assessments.
Whitehead explained the new performance targets and accountability program."Each school is measured against itself in achievement," Whitehead said.
Each school begins with a baseline number of achievement, which is subtracted from 100 and divided by two to get the target percentage increase for six years from now. This number is divided by six to get the yearly increase target.
"We will be examining our subgroups. That's where we can measure the true increase in achievement," Whitehead said.
The discussion became focused on what is currently being done to increase middle school achievement.
"Ninth grade is the most problematic grade across the country," said Duane Arbogast, chief academic officer of PGCPS.
Board of Education Member Amber Waller, District 3, noted a decrease in middle school reading scores and asked Whitehead what is being done to turn those scores around.
The progress of middle school students is followed through high school, and school officials are trying to increase the rigor and variety of readings available for middle school students, Whitehead said.
"If they fail two classes then we track their progress," Whitehead said.
Students who fail must attend summer school, which costs money.
Board Member Carolyn Boston, District 6, expressed concerns that some subgroups — such as those with individualized education programs, in special education, and on farms — show a decline in academic performance rather than earning better scores.
"Some of these people will not be able to pay the cost of summer school," said Boston, emphasizing that these were the people who needed assistance most.
"We have a variety of programs. We do offer them waivers. We have several grant programs that sponsor specific populations. We're trying many different programs," Whitehead said.
There are other possibilities, including after school MSA reading and math enrichment, but sometimes even that it is not enough, Whitehead said.
"We really don't want 16-year-olds in eighth grade," Arbogast said.
The school day has been extended for middle school, and each middle school student has an individual enrichment period to do homework or to work on MSA achievement, Arbogast said.
"We're managing expectations around students," Board Chair Verjeana Jacobs said in her closing remarks.

Tom Odell Biography & News
About Tom Odell
"I wouldn't mind being the male Adele," Tom Odell told the Daily Mail during an interview back in February. And if the 22-year-old from Chichester has anything to say about it, he's well on his way to becoming the dominant Brit male to the other dominant Brit female.
About Tom Odell
Odell, who recently collected his first Brit Award, did so on the strength of soaring piano songs (another Adele specialty). These kind of tracks anchor his debut album, "Long Way Down," which bowed on June 24, 2013 and climbed to the top spot on the UK Official Chart, spawning the singles "Can't Pretend," "Hold Me" and "Another Love."
While Odell's star has continued to rise, it does so in part because of mixed to negative reviews from critics. NME (New Musical Express), a UK weekly pop/rock publication, gave "Long Way Down" 0 out of 10 stars, prompting Odell's father to complain to the magazine. While many believe the review was nothing more than a publicity stunt, it has undoubtedly helped push Odell just a little bit closer to the cusp of super-stardom .
Not bad for a guy who grew up studying classical piano, played a hoard of open mic nights and was ultimately discovered by the label head Lily Allen. His extended play, "Songs from another Love," rolled out in the fall of 2012, and Odell was announced as one of the fifteen nominees for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll.
Odell performed his first new song since the release of "Long Way Down," entitled "Alex" on February 7, 2014 at Plymouth Pavilions. However, he recently stated he no longer has a name for the tune.

New church's benefactor shared riches beyond wealth
By Denise Crosby email@example.com January 5, 2013 9:14PM
Father Bob Jones leads a prayer before services at St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church on Saturday, January 5, 2013, in Sugar Grove. | Jeff Cagle~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 7, 2013 6:26AM
In both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, the number 12 has significant meaning.
It symbolizes completion, as in the 12 tribes of Israel; Jesus' 12 apostles; the 12 nights of Christmas leading up to the Epiphany; the 12 broken breads at the Last Supper.
So it seemed only fitting that Anthony Rich would pass from this earthly world shortly after 12 noon on 12-12-12.
The Sugar Grove resident, who built a communication systems empire, had certainly attained tremendous success in the business world throughout his almost 96 years of life. But when he died on Dec. 12, Rich was no doubt at peace because his journey of faith had finally been completed.
Less than two weeks before his death, St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in Sugar Grove, named in memory of Rich's wife, was dedicated by new Rockford Diocese Bishop David Malloy in a beautiful ceremony attended by more than 350 parishioners, along with Knights of Columbus honor guards from parishes in Aurora, Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles.
Rich, in the final stage of his long battle with colon cancer, was too ill to take part. So the bishop and the Rev. Bob Jones, pastor of the new church, visited him immediately after the festivities. Although he was bedridden at the time, for this joyous occasion Rich donned a sweater and was sitting at the desk in his home office — always the businessman — when the clergymen arrived.
Their chat was brief, recalled Jones, but it gave the bishop a chance to describe the dedication ceremony and to express his gratitude to the dying man who did so much to bring this church to Sugar Grove.
Building a business
Anthony Rich's obituary reads like a page from an American Dream novel. The son of a cabinetmaker who'd immigrated from Yugoslavia, young Anthony was still in high school when he opened a radio repair shop in his small Illinois hometown of DePue, west of LaSalle. At age 21, he married Katharine, also from a small Illinois town, then became a trainer in radio communications for the U. S. Army Signal Corps during World War II.
After earning a degree in electrical engineering from Illinois Technology Institute, he went to work for Motorola. He eventually started and developed Rich Inc., a multi-communication system still used in schools and hospitals today.
When his son Jerry joined him, the two men created Rich Operating Systems that integrated audio, video and data in educational and medical centers. That, in turn, led to the integration of computer terminals in the trading industry that positioned the company as the world leader in information retrieval.
Field of Dreams
It was in the spring of 2008 that father and son had another lofty partnership in mind. They approached the Rockford Diocese about building a church in Sugar Grove — a long-time dream of many residents who were attending Masses in other communities, including Elburn, Geneva and Aurora. The Riches offered to kickstart that process with a $3 million donation from Anthony; along with 20 acres from Jerry, who had, over the years, turned chunks of farmland off Dugan Road into Rich Harvest Golf Course, one of the most exclusive private courses in the nation.
For the past four years parishioners have been working on this Field of Dreams campaign, holding services and other activities in the gymnasium of John Shields Elementary School while the church slowly began to grow.
But also growing was Anthony Rich's cancer. Eventually he lost all his colon and intestines to the disease, yet continued to take delight in the building process, especially when the magnificent steeples were placed atop the church in May 2012.
"I truly believe he was hanging on long enough to see the completion of his dream," said Jones.
Many see the significance of Anthony Rich's death on 12-12-12, so soon after the dedication. They also see meaning in the fact that his was the first funeral Mass in the church's St. Anthony Chapel.
While some say it was a shame he was never able to attend any services, the elder Rich was present for the groundbreaking in June of 2011, as well as the blessing of the cornerstone last fall. Plus, Anthony Rich was a man who truly believed that the beauty of any church lies in the people themselves. For its first-ever Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services, about 1,100 people gathered in St. Katharine Drexel to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child.
"(Anthony) knew what he had accomplished," said Jones. "He was at peace."

Pelosi, D-Calif., was at Isles YouthBuild, where a class that will train high school students to install solar panels is scheduled to start in April.
'They are our VIPs,' Pelosi said of the students at Isles, who are studying for their high school equivalency diplomas. 'You are getting training that kids didn't get just a few years ago, to create the jobs of the future.'
Isles student Nikita McFarland of Ewing made Pelosi an honorary member of the class of 2008, and she reciprocated by inviting them to a 'class reunion' at her office in
The green-jobs program pairs the community youth organization with the solar company SunPower, which is launching a solar panel installation training program and conducting the student training for free.
Some of the students then will install solar panels at the new Isles training building in
Pelosi was joined by Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer and Reps. Rush Holt and Frank Pallone, both proponents of federal funding for clean energy and green-job training.
'This is of national significance,' Holt said of the environmental construction program. 'Now people are beginning to realize that living green, developing environmental technologies, are things that people will pay for.'

MARTINSBURG - The Martinsburg Veterans Affairs Medical Center has been recognized as a "Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality" in the Healthcare Equality Index 2013, an annual survey conducted by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the country's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender organization.
The Martinsburg VAMC earned top marks for its commitment to equitable, inclusive care for LGBT patients, who can face significant challenges in securing adequate healthcare.
"We are dedicated to providing a compassionate and welcoming environment for all of our veterans, staff and their families," said Dr. Jonathan E. Fierer, chief of staff.
The Martinsburg VAMC was one of a select group of 464 healthcare facilities nationwide to be named Leaders in LGBT Healthcare Equality. Facilities awarded this title meet key criteria for equitable care, including non-discrimination policies for LGBT patients and employees, a guarantee of equal visitation for same-sex partners and parents, and LGBT health education for key staff members.
The Martinsburg VAMC was congratulated by HRC Health and Aging Director Shane Snowdon.
"LGBT patients deeply appreciate the welcoming environment provided by a Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality," Snowdon said. "It makes a big difference to know that your local healthcare facility is fully committed to giving you the same care it gives your neighbors and co-workers."

Photo Finish1 of 11
By Natasha Burton
How frustrating is it to get dolled up for a major event, only to see pictures from the night before and realize your makeup didn't translate so well in photos? To help you look just as gorgeous in pictures as you do in real life, we got makeup artists to reveal their camera-ready secrets.
Go Natural2 of 11
For best results, apply your makeup in natural light, advises makeup artist Laura Geller. And, contrary to popular belief, more makeup isn't necessarily better in front of the camera, adds Dermablend makeup artist Jenn Jaffe. "Build foundation and concealer where it's needed most and leave other areas more sheer for a natural look."
Make a Match3 of 11
Matching your foundation exactly to your skin tone is essential for looking your best in photos, says makeup artist Page Berse, who specializes in getting women ready for wedding shoots. "Always blend over the jawline and downward toward the neck so there is uniformity in the shade." Jaffe adds that color matching is a must because too-light foundation will look artificial in pictures, especially when flash is used.
Hit the Spot4 of 11
"Concealer that is too light can give you a raccoon eye effect that shows up in pictures," says Berse. She suggests always applying concealer last—yes, after your foundation. That way, you'll use less and have a better idea of what you actually need to hide.
Color Correction5 of 11
Yellow-tinted powder works wonders under the eyes for correcting dark circles, says celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip. The reason? The yellow pigment will counteract those bluish shadows. Just don't use it all over—only for color-correcting and touch-ups.
Well Defined6 of 11
To accentuate your cheekbones, try contouring, says Jaffe. "Blend a foundation two shades darker than your skin tone into the hollow of the cheeks—just under the cheekbone," she says.
Get Cheeky7 of 11
When it comes to applying blush, pay close attention to color. Jaffe says it's unflattering in photos when women wear too much strong pink or red blush. A peach or soft pink will do the job without giving you that unwanted clown-like effect.
Go for Bronze8 of 11
Bronzer can give you a glow if you tend to look pale or washed out (which flash photography can exacerbate). "Try a little bronzer applied to the high points on the face—cheeks, temples and chin—and be sure to use one with a matte finish," suggests Berse, so that the camera's flash won't reflect too much shine.
Eyes Have It9 of 11
While putting on false lashes and using darker liner can make your eyes really pop, most people forget about their brows when having photos taken, Berse says. "Make sure to have your brows cleaned up, shaped properly, and filled in with the right shade, either matching your hair color or slightly darker," she says. "An amazing brow really sets the stage for creating a stunning eye look."
All That Glitters10 of 11
As a general rule, makeup artists agree that you should avoid glitter and overly glossy makeup when you know you'll be taking photos. A touch of shimmer on your cheekbones or luster on your lips can add dimension to your face, but too much gloss is picked up by the camera, and the results are less than flattering.
Lip Service11 of 11
Go for a bit more lip color than you would wear every day, Berse says, noting that corals and pinks are universally flattering choices. A full-coverage, creamy lipstick is your best bet, she says, because long-lasting lipsticks are drying and often look flat in photos. To give your lips more definition, use lip liner after you apply lipstick.

Fantastico Hemp!
July 10, 2010
Good morning Darn Good Yarners. Overnight I was sent this link to one of my favorite customers/artists/collaborators from Turkey (I just love that don't you?!). But I wanted to share pictures and an excerpt from this exotic Etsy store,
"Our nomadic spirits wander Anatolia and beyond to Central Asia to find the elements to make treasures we love, from the best semi-precious stones to beautiful vintage handwoven textiles. Many items we offer are made by myself, my husband or other local artisans here in Western Turkey, using time honored traditions. Our suzanis come from the Central Asian countries of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan."
Oh I'm intrigued! Are you?
Check out the mixing of hemp with Sifa in these washcloths and read more about the Sifa and Hemp Washcloth here (taken from http://www.etsy.com/listing/48943965/sifa-yasmin-and-hemp-face-cloth):
"Sifa" cotton is produced in the Northern Western Marmara region of Turkey by The Knit Box http://theknitbox.com. Naturally grown Turkish fibers are treated with the metal silver to give them healing and soothing properties. This traditional process leaves a linen-like look and a crisp hand for cleaning softly and naturally.
We've added a hemp yarn to these cloths to give them an extra scrubbable surface, if our Sifa Jasmin cloth is too soft.

For a more lengthy but very informative answer you can also read this article, What is the difference between an Ale and a Lager?
But overall the answer is Yeast!
Aside from a Brewer's Best ingredient kit you'll need some basic equipment: a primary fermenter, a carboy, siphon rod and hose, bung, airlock, a spoon, a thermometer and a hydrometer—which are all available packaged into one box so you don't miss any items.
Other than that you'll need to purchase some sanitizing agents and obtain a brewing pot of 12 litres (three gallons) or larger in size, which most people already have.
Depending on how much beer you want to make you could purchase extra carboys, or add a larger brew pot, and some people find a kegging system a wonderful way to enjoy their craft brewed beer, but you can start with the basics and get brewing right away!
Brewer's best kits make 19 litres, or about five Imperial gallons of beer, which yields 4-dozen standard 330 ml bottles—eight six-packs.
All of the Brewer's Best styles are based on commercial equivalents, many of which you'll already be familiar with. On the other hand, some are very specialized styles— while they are available in some areas, many people might not have not tried smoked beers or beers made with Rye!
Not at all! You'll need to by the equipment and come up with a brewing pot, which should cost around $100 dollars or so, but that will pay for itself with your first batch. In fact, you'll find that even a standard beer recipe will save you at least half off the commercial price, and when you start making bigger and bolder styles, you'll cut your beer budget my more than two-thirds!
Cleanliness is next to goodliness: as with any food preparation, it's important to keep your working areas and equipment both clean and sanitary. One of the reasons that beer ferments so well is the highly nutritious makeup of the wort (unfermented beer). Yeast grow well in beer, and so would other micro-organisms. Cleaning to remove soils, stains or other matter, followed by the use of a sanitizing treatment will ensure that only the yeast get a chance to act on the beer.
The sanitizers used in beer making are as safe and useful as any home cleaning product—in most cases they are actually much less harsh, as they are designed to be safe for use with food products.
It's no exaggeration to say that craft beer making has exploded in the last decade: tens of thousands of people now brew their own beer, with more starting every day, and interest in new styles and brewing techniques, beer festivals and beer clubs continues to grow. In fact it is so popular even US President Obama does it in the White House.
Fresh beer is best! Once your Brewer's Best beer has completed fermentation, you'll have to wait two to three weeks for it to carbonate in the bottle, and then you can enjoy delicious fresh beer.
Your first brew day will take a little bit longer as you sort your way through equipment and ingredients, but when you've got that under your belt you can make a fresh batch of Brewer's Best beer in less than two hours, from start to finish.
There are over fifty styles of beer available, from standards like American lager or English Pale Ale to Imperial India Pale Ale and Robust Porter: you could make a new beer every week and not repeat yourself for a year! You can make your favorite commercial style or try something new and delicious.
If you can successfully make a pot of tea or coffee, you already possess all the skills necessary to make your own craft beer. The only two things that are out of the ordinary for most people are sanitation—keeping everything clean and sanitized ensures good beer—and a small amount of patience you'll need as you wait a few weeks until you can drink your beer.
The answer might surprise people who have never brewed before: it will taste excellent! Most non-brewers haven't had the good fortune to taste really fresh beer, and fresher is better! The flavours are lush and bright, with rich maltiness, bright grainy notes, crisp hops and refreshing carbonation, all true to style, from dark, luscious stout to tangy German Hefeweizen.
People make their own beer for a variety of reasons. It can be cheaper than buying commercially equivalent beers; it allows people to adjust recipes according to their own tastes, creating unique beverages that aren't available anywhere else; entering your own beers into competition is a wonderful challenge and gives great feedback. But mainly you should get into craft brewing for the same reasons you learned to prepare your own food: you can control the flavour and aroma of your beer, the ingredients that go into it and take pride in making a great beer—and sharing it with others.
Craft beer making/ brewing is the brewing of beer and other beverages through fermentation on a small scale as a hobby for personal consumption, amateur brewing competitions or other non-commercial reasons.
Brewing on a domestic level has been done for many thousands of years, but has been subject to regulation and prohibition during some time periods in certain places. Modern craft brewing is now convenient, easily accessible and yields excellent results from the very first batch.
We will defer to a great article written by Mary Gorman:
"Contains Sulfites." Just two little words — yet so frequently misunderstood! Words you see on almost every bottle of wine. What are sulfites? Are they really bad? Do they cause wine headaches or other related ills?
The term 'sulfites' is an inclusive term for sulfur dioxide (SO2). SO2 is a preservative and widely used in winemaking (and indeed most food industries), because of its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. SO2 plays a very important role in maintaining a wine's freshness.
Consumption of sulfites is generally harmless, unless you suffer from severe asthma or do not have the particular enzymes necessary to break down sulfites in your body. The amount of sulfites that a wine can contain is highly regulated around the world. Any wine containing more than 10 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur dioxide must affix to the label 'contains sulfites'.
Myth #1: Red wine has extra sulfites, and therefore causes headaches
In the EU the maximum levels of sulfur dioxide that a wine can contain are 160 ppm for red wine, 210 ppm for white wine and 400 ppm for sweet wines. Quite similar levels apply in the US, Australia and around the world.
The fact that red wines typically contain less sulfites may seem surprising to people who blame sulfites for their red wine headaches!
Red wines contain tannin, which is a stabilizing agent. Additionally, almost all red wines go through malolactic fermentation. Therefore, less sulfur dioxide is needed to protect the wine during winemaking and maturation. So there goes myth #1.
Myth #2: Sulfites in wine cause headaches
Medical research is not definitive on the relationship between sulfites and headaches. There are many other compounds in wine such as histamines and tannins that are more likely connected to the headache effect (not to mention alcohol!).
Myth #3: Wine should be avoided, because of the sulfites it contains
Another surprising fact is that wine contains about ten times less sulfites than most dried fruits, which can have levels up to 1000 ppm. So if you regularly eat dried fruit and do not have any adverse reaction you are probably not allergic to sulfites.
While the figures I have stated are maximum SO2 levels, discussions with many winemakers over the years would lead me to believe that in practice, sulfite levels are generally well below the maximum permitted limits.
Myth #4: Sulfites are inherently unnatural
Apart from the potential allergic reaction, many people are against sulfites, because they feel they are an unnatural addition when making wine. While that view is valid, it is important to remember that sulfites are also a natural by-product of the yeast metabolism during fermentation. So even if you do not add any additional SO2, your wine will still contain sulfites.
A better understanding of how sulfur dioxide breaks down and binds during winemaking, better winery hygiene, and more careful viticultural practices to ensure healthy grapes (i.e no rot) have all greatly helped to reduce the need for SO2 additions during winemaking. Today, there are many winemakers who refrain from adding any SO2 until after the fermentation is complete.
Why sulfites are necessary
There are really very few wines that are made without some use of SO2. This is because wine is perishable, prone to oxidation and the development of aldehyde off-odors. SO2, particularly for white wines, is important for freshness. Wines without any SO2 generally have a shorter shelf life – about six months, and need to be kept in perfect storage conditions. Given that a winemaker has very little control over the wine's storage conditions from the time the wine leaves the winery until it is consumed, it is little wonder that SO2 is so widely used to help guarantee that the bottle of wine you open will be fresh and clean, and taste as the winemaker intended.
Additionally, one of the reasons that you see more wines labeled 'made from organically grown grapes' than labeled 'organic wine' is because in the US organic wine must not have any added SO2.

Yes. It may help to allow the wine to age after taking it home. The juice we receive is the same juice Wineries are using to produce commercial store bought wines. The big differnce is when you buy a wine in a store it has aged at least a year or two. So if you can get into the habit of cellaring some of your wine to build a supply of aged wine you will find the wine is far better than it was young.
Not at all. The prices for our most popular wine kits range from $125 to $225 for 30 bottles if made in store less if you want to make it at home. This means you can have a bottle of quality wine for approximately $5.00.
The process of making wine on premise starts with choosing the type of wine you want to make and what quality of wine kit you want to use. The LCB requires that the customer own the ingredients and begin by sprinkling the yeast on the juice to begin fermentation. We assist you at all times to whatever extent required. After the batch is started the customer has no further obligations until the wine is ready to be bottled. When you arrive for your bottling appointment you need to sanitize your bottles, fill & cork them and finish by applying labels and shrink caps. We provide all the necessary equipment and assistance for you to accomplish this with ease.
We offer you the choice of 5-week, 7-week and 8-week wine kits. Our 5-week wines are made from the finest blend of grape juice and concentrate. They are usually ready to drink in a few weeks after bottling. Our 7-week wines are made from premium quality grape juice blends. They are fuller bodied and require a longer aging time (at least 2 to 3 months). Our 8-week wine kits, with 100% varietal grape juice from country-specific vineyards, the Eclipse Series has re-defined the quality expectations of the advanced winemaker and the wine kit industry alike.
Please see our Products page.
The alcohol level in our wines range from 11% to 14.5%.
Our wine menu has sweetness indicators next to the wine names. Most of our wines have a dry finish, but we can adjust the levels to your taste. Just ask.
No, your bottles should already be clean as we provide time and equipment for sanitizing already clean bottles. Thoroughly rinsing a wine bottle very soon after it is empty, soaking it for a few minutes to remove the label and draining it completely eliminates the need to spend much more time cleaning bottles that are left to the last minute. HINT! Store the clean bottles upside down to avoid contamination by foreign objects, dust, insects etc.
Sorry, once your wine is ready to be bottled you need to bottle and remove it to your home within a reasonable length of time (30 days). This is required by law as well as by the availability of containers and space to put them in.
Tannin comes from the skins, seeds, and stems of the grapes, and also from wood. It gives wine its longevity and character. Tannin is also found in strong tea.
The fuller flavoured the food, the more full-bodied the wine should be. A simply prepared chicken can match well with a light bodied white wine. If you add a rich cream sauce, then a medium to full-bodied white may be preferred. You can also find more specific pairings on our wine pairing page.

Philanthropedia Names The Nature Conservancy a "High-Impact Nonprofit" Working on Climate Change
We were honored to learn Friday that Philanthropedia named The Nature Conservancy one of 18 high-impact nonprofits working on the climate change issue.
Philanthropedia conducted crowd-sourced research of 121 experts to determine their award list.
Some of the reviews experts had about The Nature Conservancy's impact were:
- "TNC has an action orientation that sets them apart from many other conservation organizations. They also have highly qualified technical people involved with a passion for their projects."
- "They are addressing climate change from many different approaches, not purely energy and related issues."
- "They have great original ideas and on-the-ground implementation."
Though the roughly two-dozen members of The Nature Conservancy's Global Climate Change Team live and breathe the issue of global warming and climate change on a daily basis (from specializing in forest carbon to adaptation and policy), there are many hundreds of other individuals throughout the Conservancy's 50 U.S. state chapters and more than 30 country programs whose work supports conservation solutions to climate change.
Staff from The Nature Conservancy might be on a burn crew setting "controlled burns," to clear excess fuel from forests to prevent future wild fires as conditions become more extreme; they could be a marine scientist performing surveys of coral reefs to identify characteristics that make some reefs more resilient to warming waters; they might be a conservation planner who coordinates strategic land purchases that will support the future health of a larger eco-region even as the landscape changes.
The mission of Philanthropedia, a division of GuideStar, is to improve nonprofit effectiveness by helping donors give more strategically. A nonprofit that surveys large groups of experts (foundation professionals, nonprofit senior staff, academics and researchers, etc.), Philanthropedia asks them to identify some of the highest-impact nonprofits working in their sector. According to Philanthropedia, the experts interviewed have on average 10-20 years of experience and they do not allow experts to "vote" for their own organization.

Details about the Watergate scandal are still emerging, almost forty years after the botched burglary and subsequent cover-up consumed the presidency of Richard Milhous Nixon. Earlier this month, Nixon's grand jury testimony fromthe Watergate trial was finally released, as per judicial mandate. Obviously, Nixon's legacy will always be marred by the Watergate scandal and the subsequent revelations about his use of presidential power to punish his political enemies.
This is just. His administration misused the great power it was handed; his cover-up and handling of the Watergate scandal (including the "Saturday Night Massacre," in which he fired the special prosecutor investigating Watergate), and his resignation amid impeachment proceedings led to national trauma and constitutional crisis.
Yet, it is important to remember Nixon's other legacies as well. Somewhere behind that iconic scowl was the vulnerable boy who watched two of his brothers die young, who felt guilty because his college education was paid for with money that had been earmarked for his dead brother's medical care.
Nixon surely could not compete with John F. Kennedy's sex appeal, but his courting of Pat Nixon is a lesson in loyalty and determination. Certain that Pat was he soul mate, he withstood her initial rebuffs, and even drove her to dates with other boys, before he was finally given his own chance.
His friendship with John F. Kennedy is often underplayed. The two were elected to Congress in the same year, and held similar views: both internationalists, both determined to confront communism, both skeptical of the New Deal. The Kennedy family covertly contributed $1,000 to Nixon's senate campaign, and both JFK and his father, Joe Kennedy, said they would vote Nixon in 1960 if Kennedy was not on the Democratic ticket.
Despite contrary appearances, Kennedy was in poor health most of his life, and was administered the Catholic Church's last rites several times. When it seemed Kennedy would pass away in the 1950s, Nixon cried for the imminent loss of his friend.
Of course, Nixon and Kennedy were also quite different — and the vicious 1960 election marked a sharp end to their friendship. Nixon, like many of his supporters thought that Kennedy had stolen the election through fraudulent ballots. Kennedy seemed to be everything Nixon loved and loathed, all in one. Kennedy was a wealthy "elite," unlike the working class Nixon. He was smart, sexy, and media-savvy. These things were anathema to Nixon. The Whittier College grad distrusted the 'Ivy Leaguers' and their 'elite clubs' as much as he distrusted a media he was always certain was out to destroy his reputation and career.
And Kennedy was loved. That seems to be what Nixon longed for: he wanted the respect and the love of the America people. After the National Guard killed several people at Kent State, Nixon made an impromptu visit to student protesters camped at the Lincoln Memorial in the dead of night. He spoke to the unimpressed crowd at length about what he was trying to accomplish for America, about improving race relations and, when that failed, about college football.
Despite his frustration at the protestors that he claimed 'weakened' America's position abroad and caused (again, in his view) unnecessary conflict at home, Nixon nevertheless seems to have desired their approval and love.
He felt as if he had earned them. After all, Nixon took the reins of the presidency during the most unpopular war in American history and earnestly wanted to draw the war to a close. In 1960, he considered pulling the troops out of Vietnam over the next year and a half, though Kissinger talked him out of it. He reached out to the North Vietnamese for peace talks, though in the end he kept the United States snarled in the Vietnam War while doggedly pursuing his "peace with honor."
He pushed for a volunteer army, rather than a draft. He created the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. He created the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program for the elderly and disabled. He proposed universal health care. He opened up diplomatic relations with communist China, while his political allies howled at home. He pursued detente with the Soviet Union.
Nixon truly believed he was a man of the people; he saw himself as the spokesman for the "Silent Majority."
We should not overlook, nor excuse, his failures. Clearly, Watergate and the misuse of executive power had a profound effect on the country. But neither should we ignore his successes. In the end, Nixon was neither the bloodthirsty villain his opponents decried, nor the perpetual victim he claimed to be. The truth, as always, was far more nuanced.

Flossie is for women interested in using open source as coders, artists and social innovators. We run an annual conference and also regular events in London.
Diversifying the Internet of Things
Adventures in Smart Assistive Environments
Spanning the two days of the conference, disability groups will work with UX and product co-design researchers, open data, pervasive computing technology specialists and architecture students to discuss the technological, design, environment and social issues and to prototype a new co-designed smart assistive device. Conference participants will be also able to engage with the process when not attending other events. From this beginning, we hope to develop a collaborative approach to the development of smart assistive envrionments and the possibility of developing a prototype with Blackwood Foundation's enterprise partners. Get involved.
Flossie 2013 Codesprint
A sprint is a get-together of people involved in a project to give a focused development on the project. Sprints are typically two to seven days long. Sprints have become popular events among some Open Source projects. This Flossie sprint will be held over the two days of the Flossie Conference on 8/9 November 2013 at QMUL, Miled End Campus allowing participants at Flossie to get involved in actual coding and contributing to the Flask project.

Meet the team at USQ:
Jesse has been obsessed with wine since he saw James Bond order the 1953 Dom Perignon in Goldfinger. With an American Sommelier Association Sommelier certificate in hand, as well as a restaurant background, Jesse has been helming the keep as wine director at USQ since 2003. He's traveled to wine regions spanning from the Duoro Valley to Stellenbosch to his home state of California, with numerous trips to Italy, France and Spain. He can actually narrow down his most memorable bottles to two: the 1999 Jamet Cote Rotie and the 1997 Hecker Pass Winery Petite Sirah. But his favorite food and wine pairings are a bit more difficult to deduce, ranging from toast with truffle butter and Barolo to kielbasa and Bandol to Thomas Keller's recipe for crispy chicken thighs and Gevrey-Chambertin. While he's in charge of the more than 2,000 wine labels in the store, he's still big on spirits. A fan of the Negroni, he either sips his favorite version in the city at Prune or mixes one up at home. When he's not drinking the classic Italian aperitif, he'll have a Old Fashioned, bourbon Sidecar or Margarita (in that order). And if he's not at dining at the popular American bistro, he might be at Edi & the Wolf and Txikito, in New York, or better yet, Cantinho do Avillez, in Lisbon.
Tom loves all spirits equally, but he has one go-to cocktail, the Sazerac. Tom's fascination with wines and liquors began as he, age 9, watched his parents and their friends taste flights of a "new cult winery called Silver Oak." Since then, he's traveled extensively throughout France and considers Burgundy one of his favorite regions. In fact, his most memorable bottle was a 1971 Domaine Rousseau Clos de Beze. Even though he doesn't speak Spanish (only French), Tom worked a harvest in Priorat and loves a good Rioja alongside grilled lamb. If he's not running a tasting event in the Salon, look for him with a bottle of Pinot Noir at Terroir or a glass mezcal at Mayahuel in the East Village.
Katherine's food-and-wine experiences in France and Germany in the 1960s inspired her love of all-things wine. She has traversed the wine countries of Europe with abandon, from Spain to Hungary to Italy, as well as Napa and Sonoma in California. She most recently toured and tasted in the Loire Valley and Champagne. In fact, Champagne is close to her heart; she's a "firm subscriber to Madame Bollinger's protocol for proper service of Champagne." But she's also a lover of Rhone Valley blends, naming magret de canard with bottling of cru Rhone wine among her favorite pairings, and Burgundy, citing a 1959 Domaine G. Roumier Bonnes Mares as a memorable bottle. Well, that and the 1899 Vouvray she had the rare (and lucky!) opportunity to taste.
Frank Fornero got hooked on wine in 1994, while dining outdoors at a restaurant in Naples, Florida. He ordered blackened grouper with a mango chutney, and the waiter suggested the 1992 Caymus Sauvignon Blanc. He describes the pairing as "magical," and he hasn't stopped with wine and food since. Now in his tenth year at USQ, Frank consults on the side, travels throughout Italy regularly, and celebrates Christmas with vintage Port and aged Stilton. He's a fan of Gin and Tonics in the summer and Manhattans in the winter, and if he needs a city escape, he heads to Pentimento in Stony Brook for their selection of Italian craft ales.
Charles is a sucker for Gamay. But that hasn't stopped him from sipping anything from a 1960s, fully botrytized Viura from Lopez de Heredia to a 1996 Michel Gaunoux Pommard Grands Epenots Premier Cru. Wine lures him in because it's a convergence of multiple disciplines, equal parts art and science, that results in an endless number of variations. That same goes for spirits. If he's not eating truffled cheeses alongside a Northern Rhone Syrah, he's downing a "summer scotch" of mezcal, whipping up an 'Adonis Cocktail' of dry sherry, vermouth and orange bitters, or sipping a Hemingway Daiquiri at Painkiller on the Lower East Side.
Joseph won't ever forget drinking a bottle of 1967 Barolo with its producer, Mauro Mascarello, nor does he mind the regular glass of anything Nebbiolo -- it's his go-to varietal. Having grown up in a winemaking family, and later working grape harvests in Piedmont and Campania, Italy is close to his heart. (And tongue. He speaks fluent Italian!) He even names wild boar and Nebbiolo as one of his favorite pairings! But his knowledge extends worldwide. Joseph's a big wine history buff and can tell you all sorts of random facts about regions and producers. He sips the occasional vodka Dirty Martini and makes a mean Bloody Mary from scratch. The recipe is a secret but he offers this hint: "add some Samuel Smith porter to give it some weight."
Beverage Management and Marketing was one of the hardest courses Seth White took while studying hospitality and tourism business at James Madison University; it also spurred his passion for wine. He now has plans to visit wine destinations from Spain to South Africa and loves a good glass of Cabernet Sauvignon with a rare Porterhouse. Memorable bottle? A 2001 Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee that pleasantly surprised him with its unique flavor and complexity. Seth is big on spirits too, taking rye whiskey neat or crafting an Old Fashioned. Don't be surprised if you spot him at local haunts such as Corkbuzz or jamming out on the guitar in Brooklyn with a bourbon next to his chair.

Spotlight on the Classroom: Still teaching 'friends and neighbors'10:00 am | February 8, 2013
Some people might become burnt out after working the same job for 47 years.
Not Jancy Caldwell.
For her, teaching Roan Mountain's children doesn't feel like a job. It feels like helping family.
"The students I'm teaching now are the grandchildren of the students I first taught," Caldwell said. "I've taught practically everybody in Roan Mountain."
Originally from Daytona Beach, Fla., Caldwell moved to Roan Mountain after meeting her husband, Julian, at East Tennessee State University in 1966, where she studied art. Julian, a third-generation teacher, wanted to carry on his family's tradition of teaching in Roan Mountain, so Caldwell followed him.
"In order to live comfortably in a marriage, it would take two to teach," Caldwell said. "I never thought I'd teach, but I loved it."
Caldwell began her career teaching first, second, and third grade at a three-room school in Buck Mountain. Because the Carter County school system did not have an art program, however, she returned to ETSU and earned a degree in library media. Afterward, she accepted the position of librarian at Cloudland High School.
