Our approach to business remains the same throughout the years. We are dedicated to providing innovative products that exceed industry standards for quality, reliability, and performance. We use
leading edge technologies and equipment in manufacturing, allowing us to exceed our customers' requirements for beautiful, strong and thermally efficient windows.
We offer an extensive line of replacement windows and accessories to fit any home, region or climate. All our products are built to last, and are backed by an on-going commitment to the people who buy them. Quality and commitment to excellence have been the cornerstones of our success. They will continue to serve as the foundations for our efforts in the future.
We have embarked on a Journey to World Class. What does this mean for you? Better products, better service, and a better supplier of quality custom windows and doors. Read on for a few excerpts
from our Journey to World Class Guide.
Our Mission: What is a Mission? You think of a Mission as a statement of what we will do. We summarize our Mission in the following Mission Statement: "We will provide an environment to attract, nurture and retain outstanding people who have a passion for consistently delivering quality products and services that exceed our customers expectations."
Our Vision: Whereas a Mission Statement summarizes what we will do, a Vision Statement summarized what we will accomplish by doing what we do. Our Vision for Soft-Lite is: "To be the premier manufacturer of the highest quality custom made vinyl windows and suppliers of innovative support services designed to make our customers the leaders in the industry."
Our Values: Regardless of who we are or what job we are doing at Soft-Lite, we will share a common set of values. They are: Customer Focus, Personal Integrity, Respect for People, Accountability, Work Ethic, and Teamwork.
Lifetime Warranty? That's right, all of our residential windows come standard with a lifetime warranty. It can even be transferred if you move or sell your house.
Soft-Lite L.L.C. warrants that its vinyl windows and doors will be free from manufacturing or material defects for so long as such products remain in use at the home where originally installed and the original purchaser (or authorized transferee) owns and resides in such home. Our Lifetime Warranty is designed to protect your investment and our reputation. It guarantees that our windows will not rot, rust, warp, pit, corrode or blister, and that our vinyl colors will remain true for the life of your home. Our Lifetime Warranty is non-prorated and is fully transferable. We also warranty all moving parts and the hermetically insulated seal against defects in materials or workmanship. Finally, we offer an optional glass breakage rider for extra peace of mind. Our Lifetime Warranty shows that we stand behind our windows and the people who buy them.
At Soft-Lite we understand that some people like to color coordinate their new windows with their decorating palette. Because everyone's sense of beauty is different, we offer our custom color program. For a small fee we will match your color sample by sending that sample to our world class color supplier. The supplier will digitally scan and color match your sample and formulate your custom color coating. We would then send it back to your dealer of choice for your written approval of satisfaction before processing the approved color order into production.
At Soft-Lite we are very proud of our dedicated employees; that is why we look to fill positions of line leaders and managers from within the company. What better way to teach and promote advancement. We employ some of the very best and brightest people around in the industry; many of them have been with us for more than 20 years
Buyers Check List:
Most people buy replacement windows only once in their life. Because they require manufacturing lead time and installation, windows can be a complicated purchase that should involve careful review and consultation before a final decision is made. The two primary ingredients to a successful window purchase are the product itself and the professional installation of that product. Most homeowners simply trust their contractors to install the best window into their home. Sometimes this works — and sometimes it doesn't. With the expanding use of the internet, homeowners like you are now able to invest "shopping time" into determining what the best window is for their needs. In fact, just over the past few years, we have noticed a significant increase at Soft-Lite in the technical aspect of inquiries we receive from homeowners just like you. We welcome every single inquiry. Meanwhile, here are
our suggestions for "un-biased" places to start your search for the best windows you can buy. Of course, we hope that your independent search brings you right back to Soft-Lite! We want to help you. Give us a call or send us a note!
Top Five Questions
To ask about the manufacturer of your windows:
1. How long have you been manufacturing these types of windows?
a. Soft-Lite has been manufacturing windows since 1934, and was one of the first window manufacturers in the country to manufacture vinyl windows, beginning in the 1950's.
2. What does your warranty cover?
a. Our warranty covers any confirmed manufacturing defect. A replacement part will be furnished at no cost to you. Our warranty excludes labor and is transferable. See the
warranty for more details.
3. Are your products Gold-Label Certified by AAMA?
a. Absolutely. Look to the inside head of every Soft-Lite window for the Gold Label decal. See the link below for information from the source as to what this means.
4. Are your products tested by the NFRC and Energy Star compliant?
a. Yes. Built with low-emissivity glass, all of our products meet or exceed Energy Star requirements in all 50 states.
5. What awards and industry recognition has your company earned?
a. Every year since 1996 Soft-Lite has been placed on Window & Door's Top 100 Manufacturers annual list, five-time Crystal Achievement Award, the Ohio Partnership for Excellence Award, Top 100 Companies to Watch, and other significant industry awards and recognition.

Top Five Questions
To ask about the window's certified performance:
Top Five Questions
To ask about the design features of the window:
1. Are these windows AAMA Gold-Label Certified?
2. What are the results of the air infiltration test?
3. What are the results of the water infiltration test?
4. What is the design pressure rating of this window?
5. What is the overall U-factor of this window as measured by the NFRC?
1. Tell me what makes your sill design better than the others.
a. All of our double-hung models, for example, feature an engineered sloped sill that offers
more barriers and diversions to air and water infiltration than conventional, lower-performance
sills. There is a mechanical structural interlock that supplements the interlock at the
meeting rail to hold the lower sash tightly in place, even during high-stress wind loads in
excess of 190 miles per hour. A sill rail runs the length of the sill that is straddled by a soft
rubber gasket under compression when the window is locked to block air and water from
entering. Our sill dam is mortised directly into the jamb to assure no butt-joint leaks common
to older sills where sealant is the only barrier. Optional Comfort Foam™ can be used to
insulate the inside chambers of the sill for the ultimate energy efficiency.
2. Tell me about your weather-stripping and compression seals.
a. Our windows feature Triple-Fin weatherstrips that offer two or three times the barriers of
single or double-fin designs. Each fin is compounded with Microban®, a popular anti-microbial
treatment that fights the growth of mold and bacteria on the weather-stripping. Our closed-cell
neoprene compression seals work under the pressure of the locked window much like the
gaskets in refrigerators and freezers, to fight the transfer of energy in and out and to add yet
more barriers and diversions to the penetration of air and water into your home.
3. Does your window have mechanical interlocks and where are they?
a. All of our windows feature mechanical interlocks at the meeting rail between the lock rail and the keeper rail. There is another mechanical structural interlock built into our sill design on
some models.
4. How tight are the manufacturing tolerances on your window?
a. With our new Stürtz automated assembly lines, installed in late 2006, our overall
manufacturing tolerances are the best in the business at ± 1/32".
5. How many options do I have available to me to customize your window?
a. Internal grids, V-groove glass, tempered, laminated, triple pane, different spacer systems, art glass, internal laminates, external colors; consult your Soft-Lite Dealer or contact Soft-Lite
directly for more information. Nobody Gives You More™.
If you're researching new double-pane windows for your home, you are likely to become very familiar with industry terms related to energy conservation. Terms such as "U-Factor," "R-Value," and "solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)" might make your eyes glaze over in some other context, but as a homeowner who wants to do everything possible to control utility costs, you will absolutely want to know what these terms mean – and how they affect your monthly heating or cooling bills.
You should start with the basics: double-pane windows from Soft-Lite incorporate two panes of glass, or "lites," with one low-emissivity (Low-E) coating and feature either our metal PPG Intercept® spacer or our structural foam Super Spacer®. The space between the lites is filled with insulating argon or krypton gas. Our extremely precise manufacturing process ensures a perfect fit every time with our vinyl windows, regardless of make, model, or shape.
Now, what about the energy-efficient properties of our double-pane windows? They all achieve low U-Factor and SGHC ratings, and one of the highest R-Values in the industry. In fact, our standards for these measurements of energy efficiency routinely exceed government standards for such distinctions as ENERGY STAR® labeling. But what do they mean? Here is a brief overview of these three important energy efficiency measurements:
Depending on the operating style and glass package you choose, Soft-Lite offers double-pane windows with a U-Factor as low as 0.17, a SHGC as low as 0.20, and an R-Value as high as 6.66. Of course, our triple-pane windows provide even better energy-performance ratings.
While our double-pane windows offer superb energy efficiency, our triple-pane products are even better! Triple-pane windows from Soft-Lite consist of three panes of glass, two low-emissivity (or Low-E) coatings, argon or krypton gas between the panes, and a choice of our metal PPG Intercept spacer or our structural foam Super Spacer. Soft-Lite's top-of-the-line triple-pane windows achieve some of the best NFRC ratings in the industry.
It's imperative to select a triple-glass system that's tailored for your climate region. Our wide array of triple-glass configurations — which can include your choice of several spacers, inert gas options, and several different Low-E coatings — allows you to choose the option that's just right for your home. This will ensure that you receive the full benefits of our triple-pane windows, including a more comfortable and draft-free home and lower energy costs.
Some of the techniques used for soundproofing windows are the same as those used by Soft-Lite to manufacture the most energy-efficient windows in the industry. That's because sound, like air, always takes the path of least resistance. A tight-fitting window frame manufactured to significantly reduce air infiltration will also deaden sound.
That said, there is a lot more to soundproofing windows than making sure there is a perfect fit for the frame. For example, no matter how well-made a home's windows are, if the roof, walls, and doors are not equally well-made and insulated, noise pollution could be experienced inside as the window diverts sound to those areas of less resistance.
Here are a few other window-related factors that contribute to sound abatement:
Soft-Lite insulated windows are an ideal way to save money on heating or cooling bills by minimizing the amount of energy-wasting air infiltration. Inferior windows allow air to seep through faulty seals. Even the glass panes themselves can contribute to higher cooling or heating costs, if they are not designed specifically to provide the kind of insulation your home requires for peak energy efficiency. Every window manufactured by Soft-Lite meets our own exacting requirements for energy efficiency, while far exceeding industry standards.
Soft-Lite manufactures a wide variety of ENERGY STAR® labeled insulated windows. These products achieve some of the best NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) ratings on the market for U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain — as well as excellent AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) ratings for air infiltration. With many different window lines and countless styles and colors available, we make something for everyone, regardless of aesthetic taste or budget. When it comes to energy efficiency, it doesn't get any better than the Soft-Lite Elements® line, which is designed to achieve the absolute minimum air filtration ratings in the industry. The weather barriers on the Elements line include:
Valued-priced equivalents to these higher-end thermal barriers are available with every line of Soft-Lite insulated windows, which are all designed to prevent money-wasting air flow from forcing its way into your home. Soft-Lite windows are designed for durable, long-lasting beauty. Not only will you save a significant amount of money on cooling and heating costs; you will never need to purchase windows again. Contact a Soft-Lite dealer near you to learn more about our insulated windows, and be sure to inquire about our transferable, limited lifetime warranty.
Hurricane windows are not only for states like Florida and Texas, where violent tropical weather wreaks havoc on homes year after year, or for mid-western states where tornadoes abound. High winds occur everywhere, and the windows on your home should be able to withstand them. Armor Impact Plus and Armor Max Plus impact windows from Soft-Lite are strong and durable enough for shoreline homes in hurricane zones, so you know that they will stand up to the occasionally high gusts and blustery thunderstorms experienced by most of the rest of the country.
Armor Max Plus hurricane windows manufactured by Soft-Lite pass every durability test thrown at them, including the Large Missile Impact Level "D" test. These windows can withstand sustained winds of 140 mph and gusts of up to 212 mph, and are Miami-Dade County-approved. Soft-Lite impact windows also provide additional protection against intrusion, with a nearly impenetrable PVB interlayer that prevents shattering. Soft-Lite's commitment to making products that help protect the home is reflected in our status as the exclusive window partner of the National Crime Prevention Council.
Here are the features that help Soft-Lite hurricane windows stand apart from the competition:
ELEMENTS WINDOWS allow only .01 CFM of air leakage per minute. They are:
IMPERIAL LS WINDOWS allow only .02 CFM of air leakage per minute. They are:
BAINBRIDGE WINDOWS allow only .07 CFM of air leakage per minute. They are:
BARRINGTON WINDOWS allow only .07 CFM of air leakage per minute. They are:
PRO/CLASSIC WINDOWS allow only .07 CFM** of air leakage per minute. They are:

Without You!! –
I've tried
tried like for ever
forever, not to think of you
you and your feelings, here they still remain
remain in my eyes, my heart and in my dreams
dreams of you and me, like am-a-kin
am-a-kin to your last breathe
breath of your vision, that make me lose my own reflections
reflections that have me go against me
Without you, am not me and I just cannot be me
I feel like I've been left out frozen
frozen on this frozen sea, baby
baby, its you I believe in and in only you I believe !!
the day we believed that we were in love
I loved those sweet n' lovely kisses and hugs
hugs that we shared, which couldn't last so while
but those sweet memories still bring on a smile
somehow, your warmth can still be felt
can be felt through my inner projections
the dissolute indulgence in sensual evolution
why does love seem to be the only solution?
n am still waiting here
to get back the love that we once shared
to share those lovely feelings, all over again
in you arms I wanna live my life again
Baby, without you, am not me and I just cannot be me
I want you in my life, do come back to me
its you I believe in and in only you I believe
Baby – Come – Back – To – Me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S: Did you eye one those repeating words, in every two lines..? I made it this way..
achha hai na..

The Babies Are Back! Kind of! Here's a New (Old) Song Called "Got Old" | NOISEY
"Since the release of their awesome second album Our House on the Hill in 2012, The Babies—made up of former Woods member Kevin Morby and Vivian Girls member Cassie Ramone—kind of went on a bit of an indefinite hiatus. Sad face. During that time, Morby and Ramone have released solo projects, all of which are obviously great indie rock records. But! If you're like me and couldn't get enough of their work (in particular, how fucking great is "Get Lost"? Lost in youuuuuuu!), we have some good news. They've released outtakes from those recording sessions, and have decided to release them as a seven-inch through Woodsist. Cop it here. Below, we have the premiere of "Got Old." These tracks were recorded in California in February 2012 and were produced by Rob Barbato and engineered and mixed by Drew Fischer."

Six Degrees of Vivian Girls at the Amoeblog
"Remember the whole Pixies/Breeders/Belly/Throwing Muses web of bands many years back? Or, more recently, the Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown/Frog Eyes/Handsome Furs/Divine Fits band sprawl? And let's not even get into Broken Social Scene. Well, none of these band associations holds a candle to Vivian Girls and the myriad bands, collaborations, side projects and what-have-yous that spring from the New York noise pop band. In light of recent release from onetime-Vivian Frankie Rose and the upcoming release by Vivian girl Ali Koehler in Upset, I've attempted to make a Vivian Girls tree for y'all. I'm sure I missed like 20 bands, let me know if I have!"

Expect more music and more nights of tunes in Delaware this summer.
The Firefly Music Festival is expanding to four days and five nights next year.
Organizers say they hope the change will ease traffic jams that plagued fans and commuters in June.
The third festival will be held June 19 through June 22 at The Woodlands around NASCAR's Dover International Speedway. Chicago-based Red Frog Events, the festival's organizers, announced Monday that early-bird campers will be allowed to enter on Wednesday night for the first time.
The festival is expected to feature about 100 performers, but the schedule has not yet been announced. Tickets are already on sale.
About 65,000 fans attended this year's festival, twice the turnout of last year's inaugural event. Several acres of trees have been cleared from the festival grounds to make room to host up to 85,000 people.

Tarte tatin doesn't have to be made of pommes (aka apples). It can also be made with pommes de terre (aka spuds). Here's a wicked recipe from Geoffroy Vieljeux, erstwhile host at one of the world's most stylish B&Bs, Mas Parasol near Uzés, now sadly no longer functioning.
We're talking an upside-down potato tart here. For this you need a bunch of firm, waxy potatoes, a cake tin, olive oil and a salty dough a bit like Salzteig. You arrange said potatoes in said cake tin, drizzle with olive oil, cover with the salty dough and bake. And here's where we veer away a bit from the real Tarte Tatin, for the crust is completely inedible. Its sole purpose is to imprison all the goodness and flavour of the potatoes beneath and to season them gently the while. When the tatin is ready, you turn it out to reveal the by-now-gently-golden spuds, sitting up and begging to be speared with a fork. Here's how:
First the potatoes. These can be new, freshly dug and scrubbed clean (for more ideas for super newper recipes, see my recent piece on Zester). Or outside the new potato season you could use a variety like rattes. Whatever…you need spuds that hold their shape and don't need peeling, not too huge (baking potatoes please abstain) and roughly the same size/shape, so they look pretty when you turn the tatin out.
Then you need a baking tin/pan – don't use a springform tin, or olive oil may leak out during the baking and make a lot of sound and fury, not to mention a frightful mess in your oven. Line the tin with baking paper, oil the inside and arrange your scrubbed potatoes in it tightly in a nice flower formation (allow 3-4 per person, but be warned: folks have been known to eat more – these are seriously moreish) . Drizzle with oil.
Next comes the crust, which you make by mixing together equal quantities of flour and coarse salt and adding egg white(s) and enough water to bring the whole thing together into some semblance of order. For a huge pan measuring 30cm across, you'll need 400g flour + 400g coarse salt + 2 egg whites + ca. 200ml warm water; for a smaller, 22 cm-diameter tin you'll need half those quantities. Mix the flour and salt together in a big bowl, make a well in the centre, add the egg white(s) and enough water to give a firm dough, not too dry, not too wet. You need to be able to (and must) turn it out onto a floured board, squash it into a ball and then roll it out thickly to the size of your tin. Lay it on top of the potatoes and tuck it in snugly – you don't want any hanging out of the tin or you'll be in bother when it comes to inverting the tatin for serving.
Heat the oven to 200 C and bake the tatin for an hour to an hour and a quarter, or until the crust is golden brown and you can hear the potatoes making reassuring, sizzling noises beneath. If you run over the time by another fifteen minutes, no problem. For a longer wait, just leave the finished tatin in the turned-off oven.
Now comes the fun bit. Take a plate big enough to cover the tin comfortably and equip yourself with good oven gloves. Assemble your guests. Invert the plate over the tin, take a deep breath and turn the tatin out onto the plate. Tada! Pretty good, huh? (and now go and do your own, and get ready to take a bow…)
I always feel kind of sad that you can't eat the crust (impossibly salty) – it's but a husk that has now completed its task and is no longer useful. Say goodbye and consign it to the bin.

Prayer? Reading the Bible? Serving? How we decide to express our faith is up to us. The power of choice is one of the most important elements of our spiritual journey.
Students are constantly faced with life-changing decisions in their relationships and faith. In this four-session video Bible study, Marcus Goodloe introduces Biblical principles to help students make wise choices amidst a chaotic culture:
1. Choosing Faith - 15 minutes
2. Consequences - 14 minutes
3. Choose Your Reaction - 13 minutes
4. What is Your Purpose? - 13 minutes
Marcus "Goodie" Goodloe serves under Erwin McManus as a leader at Mosaic, a diverse congregation located in Los Angeles. He is a national speaker at various Youth Specialties events and Song of Solomon Conferences along with the LeadNow and Fusion events. Goodie lives with his wife and two children in California.
Choose also includes an interview with Family Force 5. Family Force 5 is an energetic Christian crossover rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Outgoing personalities and music bursting at the seams with infectious unpredictability helped turn this band into a MySpace sensation.
Marcus "Goodie" Goodloe is one of my favorite people. He is powerful and at the same time gracious. His courage to lead is only superceded by his willingness to serve. It's rare to find such humility in so talented a package.

I am consistently amazed by how little landfill trash our family of seven generates. Our trash company gives us a 96-gallon barrel for trash and two 96-gallon recycling barrels, which they pick up every two weeks. The basic level of service is usually one of each, but we eventually discovered we needed two recycling bins. We could also get weekly pickup if we wanted, but it hasn't been necessary from a volume standpoint (although in the summer heat, I sometimes wish it was every week) and there is a substantial savings if we go every other week.
And while the amount of trash and recycling varies, in general the amount of landfill trash (i.e. what can't be recycled) is about one or two 13-gallon kitchen trash bags per week. Meanwhile, I'm often left trying to jam in more and more recycling into the two recycling bins by the day of pickup.
I usually divide our recycling between the two barrels1, with one barrel holding just cardboard boxes and the other holding all the various household paper and metal and glass, mostly from the kitchen. It often works out to about even amounts in the barrels. The cardboard is mainly Amazon boxes because we do so much shopping there, including Subscribe and Save on things like large boxes of paper towels.
Of course, there's a third kind of trash I have to deal with, namely all the things that I can't put in the barrels, like broken bicycles and a broken wheelbarrow and very large cardboard boxes that have to be broken down before they can fit in the recycling bin and even then only in pieces over time so as not to monopolize it. For that stuff, I think I will begin to do an occasional Bagster pickup, as needed. I had one last year when we had our floors redone and I managed to put a bunch of other stuff in there too.
A valid question is how we manage to divert so much from the landfill. Certainly, our trash has changed over the years. For one thing, we no longer (for now anyway) have lots and lots of diapers as we did for almost a decade. We also don't subscribe to a paper newspaper (I'm iPad subscription only now), which took up a ton of space in recycling.2 We also try to re-use food waste in other ways as well. We save chicken bones and vegetable ends for making stock and put other kinds of vegetables and food in our compost. Melanie even saves orange peels for making marmalade and old bananas (so many overripe bananas) in the freezer for smoothies, breads, and chocolate ice "cream" for Lucy.
We are by no means perfect at this. Nor are we especially militant about it. And there are recent questions about whether household recycling makes as big a dent in the landfill problem as we think. But it makes me happy anyway to do what I can to show that big families are not necessarily the resource hogs that some people say they are, that in fact big families can have a light environmental footprint compared to, say, a twenty-something childless couple living in a hip downtown loft.
- This is not a requirement of the trash company; just something I started doing on my own as an experiment. ↩
- Although junk mail continues to be a substantial amount of recycling. ↩

Modernist designer and architect S. Russell Groves—who cut his teeth with both Richard Meier and Peter Marino and has created spaces for corporate clients like Tiffany and Co. and Armani as well as residences for Frederic Fekkai and Derek Lam—shares a private Palo Alto residence he worked on for two longstanding clients over two years.
"They have an amazing art collection and love contemporary furniture and a modern aesthetic, but also have this tendency to buy these traditional homes," says Groves. "We didn't want to destroy any of the essence of the house, we wanted to update it and refresh it and make it much more current and contemporary." The 6, 000 square foot space reflects Groves' aesthetic: "Simultaneously sybaritic and meticulous; restrained luxury," while hits of artwork speak to the clients' creative sensibilities.

Website: Eszterbauer Winery
Country Location: Hungary
Despite the maddening difficulty the big berried, thin skinned Kadarka gives to grape growers, János Eszterbauer makes it his main focus: what his grandfather grew, what he grows, and what his children will grow.
The people. After emigrating from Bavaria by 1746, the Eszterbauer family established its vinous roots in the Southern Hungarian wine region of Szekszárd. Located south of Budapest, north of Croatia, and latitudinally between France's Bordeaux and Loire Valley, the ancient loess hills of Szekszárd have been planted to vineyards since before the Celts. It is most famous for its dark spicy red blends, ominously labeled Bikavér or "Bulls Blood."
The modern Eszterbauer winery is about honoring the ancient traditions of the region and family. The big berried, thin skinned Kadarka is the most important indigenous variety and János Eszterbauer's main focus. The exact origin of the grape is unknown but it is believed to have been brought to Szekszárd from modern day Bulgaria by Turks. This strong connection to family and tradition is depicted by the 1930's black and white pictures of his family in the cellar and the vineyards that serve as the labels for their expansive line of wines. In addition to multiple varietal bottlings of Kadarka, Kadarka plays a dominant role in the house rosé, and Bikavér named "Tüke."
In the vineyards. Eszterbauer owns 8 hectares of vineyards, but fully farms a total of 22, spanning more than 7 sites over about 4 km from north to south. Soils are mainly windblown loess mixed with 30% chalk. The north/south ridge defining Szekszárd is a buckle of sedimentary soil caused by tectonic activity long ago. Szekszárd is a protected wine region consisting of 2700 hectares spread over 30 km. Aspects vary but most planted sites are south east facing. 9 separate clones of Kadarka are planted in the Eszterbauer vineyards. The fruit from their oldest vineyards is the base for "Nagyapám" (Grandfather), argued by many to be Hungary's finest Kadarka.
In the cellar. János Eszterbauer is aided by winemaker Laci Palinkas. Grapes are hand harvested and quickly transported to the winery. Sorting is meticulous, as are the vinification and maturation of wine at Eszterbauer. All wines are fermented at controlled temperature. Whites and rose with neutral commercial yeast in stainless steel while reds undergo a gentle cold soak and are always fermented with native yeast. Depending on vintage, stainless steel, wood tank, or in 500, or 225 liter oak barrels are all options. It is important not to over-extract the delicate Kadarka variety otherwise it can become bitter and looses the evocative perfume characteristic of the grape.

Now for a story that I absolutely freaking love: The trademarking of "Los Doyers" (as in the accented Spanish mispronunciation of "Dodgers") by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team trademarked "Los Doyers," by now a nickname so common that it's mispronounced on purpose, last month. The Dodgers organization has been selling team paraphernalia with the "Los Doyers" logo, including t-shirts and hats.
The blog vinscullyismyhomeboy.com found and posted the trademark information over the weekend, along with my favorite little snippet so far, a parsing-out of the mispronunciation subtleties between Mexicans and Cubans:
"Yesterday I asked my mom to say Dodgers. She said 'Doyers.' I asked my dad to say Dodgers. He said 'Dogers.' I guess Mexicans say 'Doyers' and Cubans say 'Dogers.' Maybe the Europeans pronounce it 'Dojers.' Shoud I trademark it?"
There have been other news reports since. Today the story will be featured on 89.3 KPCC's Patt Morrison show between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Trademarking "Los Doyers" is a savvy marketing step, given the zillions of diehard Latino fans who have been crowding Dodger Stadium since long before Fernando Valenzuela ever became a household name (and even though it was built on the site of the former homes of immigrants cleared out of Chavez Ravine).
Still, as a girl who grew up near the Vernon factory where Dodger Dogs are made, I love the shout-out. It's a nod to L.A. not just as a Dodger town, but as the immigrant town it is.

If there is one thing we have learned from Wealthfront's clients and our own experience in Silicon Valley, it is that picking the right place to work is the key to success.
Getting equity in a mid-size, high-growth company is one of the best ways to launch your technology career and perhaps generate some wealth in the process.
So today, we are proud to announce Wealthfront's list of 100 Career Launching Technology Companies.
[Editor's note: To see this year's updated list, visit The 2019 Wealthfront Career-Launching Companies List]
Compiled through a survey of top venture capitalists, all meet our criteria of being mid-size high-growth companies. We believe these are the companies that will generate the greatest career opportunities and the most significant potential for equity wealth in the near future.
Specifically we sought out private companies we think are on a rapid growth trajectory and that are likely to continue that growth for at least a few years and that have revenues of at least $20 million but no more than $300 million.
The list includes some very familiar and well-covered names including DropBox, Box, and AirBnb but it likely includes at least 10 companies that you've never heard of. Among these are Aerohive Networks, MapR Technologies, CipherCloud, Delphix, Nutanix, Acronis, Plex Systems, Qualtrics, Datastax, and Sencha.
Within the list you will find a brief description of the company's mission and its location as well as a link to the website of each, all conveniently aggregated in one spot.
An interesting facet of the trend this year is that 60% of the companies on the list are building enterprise — rather than consumer products. There are even five companies dedicated to building payments products including Boku, Square, Braintree, Stripe, and Trialpay.
As you might expect many of the companies are located in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area but other technology hubs are represented including New York, Boston, and Los Angeles.
In his various roles, first as co-founder of Benchmark Capital, through his current work as both a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and now as the CEO of Wealthfront, Andy has witnessed and lived through a lot of what makes the tech community tick.
Andy has already shared a lot of detailed career advice in a series of Wealthfront blog posts but we thought it would be a good idea to consolidate that content into a single, more concise guide — fully updated for 2013.
We believe that Andy's 30+ years of experience — all of it spent working with entrepreneurs and technology companies — adds up to plenty of valuable and actionable career advice.

Raising the issues faced by blood cancer patients
We're delighted to report that last week, MPs debated blood cancers and access to new medicines in Parliament's Westminster Hall. Jim Shannon, MP for Strangford, opened the debate which outlined key issues in this area:
"The fact that more people are surviving and living longer [with cancer] is to be celebrated, but unfortunately not everyone is living well, which is what this debate is about.
"That is especially true for people with blood cancers, many of whom will live with the disease and the consequences of its treatment for many years. Some of them are fortunate to do so, but for many that will be time limited.
Patients with blood cancers can face significant problems in accessing vital treatment because of the difficulties and complexities of appraising medicines in this area."
Building a cross-party consensus
Jim Shannon MP's speech was followed by contributions from many MPs across the political spectrum and from different parts of the country. We were pleased to see so many mentions of the issues that affect blood cancer patients on a daily basis – the problems of 'watch and wait', the emotional strain of having treatments made unavailable on the NHS and the toxicity of treatments, and the difficulties of assessing drugs for small patient populations, as is the case for some blood cancers.
Henry Smith MP for Crawley and chair of the newly formed All-Party Parliamentary Group on Blood Cancer highlighted the importance of early diagnosis and awareness of blood cancer:
"The importance of early diagnosis cannot be overestimated: not least because, by 2020, almost half the UK population will receive a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. Although I am sure that everyone in this place is aware, it may come as a surprise to those who are not so familiar with the issue that blood cancer is the third biggest cancer killer and is made up of more than 130 different diseases, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma."
Putting blood cancer on the agenda
The debate received a Government response from the Life Sciences Minister, George Freeman MP, who paid tribute to the work of many charities working this area, with particular mention of our Trials Acceleration Programme:
" …I pay tribute to Bloodwise and other charities that work in the blood cancer space. Charities are playing an increasingly important role in the sector; the Association of Medical Research Charities recently released figures that show that our charities now invest more than £1.4 billion a year in medical research.
…I make particular mention of the work of Professor Charlie Craddock, director of the blood and marrow transplant unit at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, who leads the Trials Acceleration Programme, funded by Bloodwise and supported through the National Institute for Health Research's experimental cancer medicine centre funding and its clinical research network."
It was particularly important to see the cross party consensus on the issues affecting blood cancer patients. We'll continue to be closely engaged in this agenda and build the momentum behind the All-Party Parliamentary Group on blood cancer.
Find out more about the debate
The full transcript of the two hour debate is now available to read online.
You can also read an article about the debate by Henry Smith MP in the Crawley Observer.

Before meeting David Isenberg, Starr Belle had been performing Country music and writing her own heartfelt songs since the age of 12 years old. She has put together and released one home-made album, and three full-length country music albums at professional studios. One of her more popular songs, ""Streets of Nashville"", has been played on radio all across the state and granted her plenty of opportunities to be a special guest on radio shows. Learned in the musical arts from attending Nashville School of the Arts throughout high school, Starr also has a bachelor's degree of Photography from Nossi College of Art. Starr is well known in the Nashville Songwriter's community having been born and raised in the circuit. One meeting with Starr, and you'll see how her pure heart and selfless love leave a lasting impression on anyone she meets.
David Isenberg was another story. Raised on the rough side of life, David came to the guitar with a mind full of questions, and a heart longing for sweet relief...and that's exactly what he found! Revolutionized and called David had found his purpose in the basin of a wood-body six string and the holler of a freeing tune. Jesus in his heart, guitar in hand, David set out across the lands of Tennessee and Kentucky searching for the gems of artistry in the coal mines of introspection. Anywhere he has performed, he has made his presence known with resounding songs of redemption, hope, destiny, and freedom.
In the Fall of 2015 these two hearts crossed paths, and were forever bonded by the ties of friendship, music, and true love. Happily married since the Spring of 2017, Bellsenburg has the joyous privilege and responsibility of going wherever their music takes them. Their goal is to deliver their contemporary Gospel message and to enlighten the hearts of their company by displaying the love of their art, their Lord, and their purpose together. Graciously and together, Bellsenburg is sure to arouse the hearts of many at any type of gathering - whether it be a festival, a dive bar, or on a street corner. Bellsenburg makes ""new music, the old way."" - December 2017
Garden of Eden
12/5/18: Just a song I wrote and recorded on my phone 12/3/18. I found the melody about a week before that, (the guitar rhythm and the chorus), but the lyrical verse and direction took shape on the date listed above. Looking forward to recording some more here soon. Thanks to my sweet wife Starr for coming behind me to put sweet harmonies on the chorus and then posting this everywhere! :P
"EveryOne"!!!(of "Us") SHOULD FEEL "This"... "Way"... about THAT!!! ("Garden of Eden") Very nicely annunciated! -M-
Great tune-Garden of Eden. added to eYe. dig your vibe, well done. bryon

Salaamaleekum! Peace be upon you all.
Apologies for the time it takes to write these things. There's always much to be said, but when I sit down, I feel like a blog just can't do this experience justice; but as I always say, I'll try my best!
Updates:1. Geoff came and went. Most visitors don't stay more than 2-weeks – Geoff stayed for a month in West Africa. Granted 2-weeks were spent travelling to Cape Verde, but there were 2-more awesome weeks spent in my village. He'll be the first to tell you that he fell in love with the slow, village life; it's easy to do when your biggest worries are "I wonder if I'll have diarrhea today". LOL! Geoff cracked groundnuts, took bucket baths, explored the Gambian bush, and much much more. OH YEAH, we had a wedding! It was a playground wedding, filled with drummers and asobes (matching outfits with Geoff and my family). It was an amazing learning experience to have a guest from America, for him and myself. I hope it's not the only time I'll have a visitor. I'll post just a few pictures here:
|Geoff running down the side of an ACTIVE VOLCANO!
|On FOGO, one of the islands in Cape Verde off the coast of W. Africa
|Wedding day matching tye-dye outfits! How Peace Corps lol
|My Gambian family and our "asobe"s (matching outfits) for the wedding!
|And you thought YOU get dirty on the dance floor!
Wolof women do it right.
|"Malick Ceesay" dancing with my wife Jamma Ceesay!
|The slow village life, cracking groundnuts - beautiful!
2. HEALTH SCHOOL is more than I could have ever imagined! We are officially halfway complete, and the women are just getting warmed up. This past month we focused on nutrition, filled with: weaning foods, cooking demonstrations, dramas, and fun activities. This past month and next month are dedicated to RCH – Reproductive and Child Health. March had 2-classes: the importance of RCH & female anatomy (see pictures below). This next month (April), we are holding 2-more classes on RCH: pregnancy and menstruation & family planning. In some villages, these would be considered "taboo" to teach, but the women have shown a great interest in these subjects, which make the lessons that much more wonderful. Lastly, in two weeks, a few of my Peace Corps co-volunteers, as well as the women enrolled in the health school, will paint HEALTH MURALS on the hospital! We got permission from the village leader to paint, so no need to hesitate. I will post pictures later!
|My host mom showing off her anatomy apron and model!
|Teaching about exclusive breastfeeding!
It looks like I'm doing it haha!
|weening foods cooking demonstration
|"and here is the PENIS"
Anatomy lesson in a muslim country #score
I got to watch my first Gambian tattoo be done by a woman in my village. So allow me to explain! The pictures below are somehow disturbing, but they're for "cultural purposes" haha, or my sick infatuation with body alterations. Anyhow, getting your gums (yes, in your mouth) tattooed is seen as a sign of beauty. I don't know when they chose that place, of all places, but it is done pretty regularly here. The only other kind of "tattooing" that is done is called "fula scarring". FULA is a tribe here in the Gambia, but the scarring is done by all tribes. I have done this type of tattooing (see picture below), and it is very common for Peace Corps Volunteers to get these done before they return to America. Have a look!
|she was a bleeder.
|stayyyy still, squueeze my hand!
|One of my family members doing a "touch-up" on her gum-tattoos
Well, that's pretty much it. I've been busy busy busy these past few months, with Geoff visiting, travelling, the health school and a few other side-projects. The time is flying by too fast, which makes me want to stay longer; we'll have to see if I'm allowed! Oh, by the way, it's officially the HOT SEASON. This means I spend most of my afternoons sitting under a tree, usually doing one of the following: WRITING LETTERS HOME, learning wolof, reading, braiding hair/getting my hair braided, panting like a dog, sipping attaya and juice, and napping. I would love love love some letters. It seems people (including myself) have begun to slack off, but please remember that I really really look forward to handwritten love. You don't have to write about anything of importance, but write me darnit! The address is somewhere on the side of this blog.
I miss you all, but I've made this place a second home. I have a family here, friends, and meaningful work. Peace Corps has been an amazing, life-changing experience for me, and I hope this blog has inspired some of you to go off and explore, have adventures of your own, even if into the woods of your backyard or into a local state park. This earth was created for exploring and appreciating all the beauty it has to offer. NOW GO!!

It may not be quite the £5m Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin are reported to be spending on their nuptials this weekend, but the average cost of a wedding has topped £20,000 for the first time, according to figures published today.
Research by You and Your Wedding magazine, based on a survey of 1,500 brides, found the average cost of tying the knot in 2008 is a massive £20,273.
The magazine, which has been monitoring the cost of weddings for 12 years, has added new categories to its survey, including beauty treatments and hen and stag nights, to better reflect the cost of modern weddings.
The survey shows that costs begin to mount up as soon as a couple agrees to marry, with the average cost of an engagement ring weighing in at £1,412.
But the biggest cost for most couples is entertaining friends and family. The average cost of a wedding reception is now £7,724, including £2,529 on venue hire, £3,497 on food and £1,242 on drinks.
Estimates of how much Coleen has spent on the dress she will wear at Saturday's ceremony in Italy's Villa Durazzo range from £100,000 to £200,000, but among regular brides the average has fallen from £1,004 in 2006 to £977.
Accessories for the day, as well as trips to the gym and cosmetic treatment in the run up, contribute a further £1,927 to the cost of a bride looking her best.
Meanwhile, the average stag and hen dos, while not up there with Rooney's £10,000-a-head celebration or Coleen's three hen parties, still cost those getting married around £200 a time.
The editor of You & Your Wedding magazine, Colette Harris, said the items on a bride's shopping list had changed over the years, and that women were increasingly using their own money to buy luxury goods, such as Jimmy Choo shoes.
"There's no doubt that big celebrity events inspire Britain's brides to think about creating unforgettable weddings where they can be the star for the day," said Harris.
"But let's not forget this is an average cost - and that means some people spend lots more and some people spend lots less, and you can have a fabulous, memorable day however much you choose to spend.
"We wouldn't encourage anyone to get into debt to ape a celebrity lifestyle, especially when many celebrities are given huge discounts or freebies in exchange for the publicity their weddings will bring."

Find your ancestors in old US newspapers and rediscover stories lost to history using the new OldNews USA app
Revgenea Software LLC announces the availability of OldNews USA, a free Android app for finding interesting stories in online historical newspapers. Designed for both genealogists and history enthusiasts, OldNews USA is the easiest way to search the Chronicling America collection of historical newspapers, provided by the US Library of Congress.
"Old newspaper stories can really make your family history research come alive with details that can't be found elsewhere" said Bill Nelson, the founder of Revgenea. "If your family tree consists of little more than names and dates, you need to try searching old newspapers. You'll be amazed at the stories that have been lost to history that you can rediscover."
OldNews USA makes getting started with newspaper research quick and easy. You first define a goal that identifies what you want to find, including a date range and a geographic location. OldNews uses the goal data to instantly suggest a list of newspaper titles that were published closest to your goal's location, and with issues within the date range of your goal. You don't need to be an expert in geography to find the local newspapers that are the most likely to contain stories about your family.
"I created OldNews USA because I found searching online newspapers using a web browser difficult. I was constantly re-entering similar search parameters, waiting for page images to reload as I zoomed in to see the keyword matches, and wondering if I remembered to look at all of the matches.", said Bill.
OldNews USA leverages the power of your mobile device to solve these problems while enabling you to take your research with you wherever you go, without your laptop. The app provides full-featured search capability and automatically saves each search, letting you easily select and modify a previous search as you narrow in on your research goal. OldNews also displays a text preview of search results, which means you may find what you are looking for before you download a page. Finally, you can review all keyword matches on a page by simply tapping the page. OldNews will automatically zoom in to display a highlighted term. You can continue reviewing all other matches by tapping, and OldNews will let you know when you have reviewed all matches. "It is hard to believe until you try it, but the tap-to-review feature makes researching on your phone easier than your laptop or desktop with a large monitor.", Nelson said.
Another feature not found on the Chronicling America website is a Google Map view that shows where each newspaper was published. You can explore the map to discover newspaper titles published in a geographic area, but the real power of the location information built into the OldNews USA app is location-based research suggestions.
"When I first started looking for articles about my New Hampshire ancestors using Chronicling America, I thought I wouldn't find anything since the collection does not currently have any newspapers published in NewHampshire. But when I defined my research goal in OldNews and selected my ancestor's home town, the app immediately gave me a list of suggested newspaper titles to search in Vermont.", Nelson explained.
Genealogists and historians will love the advanced research features in OldNews USA that will improve the quality of your research while letting you spend more time making discoveries and less time documenting your research. You can automatically create a research log that tracks everything you researched, helping you to prevent repeating the same searches multiple times. Also, every time you save an newspaper page or clipping, the app will automatically generate a source citation for the article, both as a separate text file and embedded within the image of a clipping.
As an avid genealogist with over 20 years of family history research experience, Nelson understands the importance of good research habits, and the amount of effort required to properly document research. "It takes a lot of discipline and effort to create research logs and proper source citations. I know how important it is to properly document research, and realize how easy it is to skip these steps when you are having fun making new discoveries. I want genealogy to be fun, and use technology to automate the important steps that aren't much fun. That is why I started Revgenea Software. I want to build research apps that automate best research practices while letting you focus on discovering your family's story."
OldNews USA is available on the Google Play store.


text: Culture Blessed are the meek Judy Raymond on Brown Face, Big Master, by Joyce Gladwell, originally published in the Caribbean Review of Books By Judy Raymond | News & Online Exclusives 0 Comments Brown Face, Big Master by Joyce Gladwell (Macmillan Caribbean, ISBN 0-333-97430-1, 192 pp) The title of Joyce Gladwell's autobiography — recently reissued by Macmillan in its Caribbean Classics series — makes one think immediately of Franz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks, but the more you read, the more puzzling that apparently deliberate reference becomes. When her book was first published in 1969, Gladwell was a young mother living in the UK. Born and brought up in Jamaica, there she'd been part of an elite by virtue of her class, colour, and education. In England, however, where the nuances of skin tone observed by West Indians meant nothing, Gladwell was black, and the fact that she was married to a white Englishman brought not prestige but disapproval and racist abuse. Her education, too — a degree in psychology from London University — had been part of an imaginary arsenal with which she armed herself against racism: "There were people in the world who would assume I was, by virtue of my race, inferior in intellect. It became terribly important to me to demonstrate to myself and other people that this was not so." In her new life, however, Gladwell found her education counted for nothing; in fact it made her life as a housewife and mother (one of her three sons is the New Yorker journalist Malcom Gladwell) even more tedious. Raised in a house full of servants, brought up to assume that she would have a high-powered career, she was surprised and resentful to find that in England she was expected to do all the household work herself. But Gladwell's response was not — as her reference to Fanon might lead one to expect — to revolt, physically or intellectually, against the oppressive conditions under which she found herself living. Instead, her book is both a bold attempt to assert her own existence, to write herself into being, and an account of her struggle to reconcile the contradictions between her high expectations and the frustrating reality — through a deeper faith in God (The Big Master of the title). A few years later, the women's movement would declare, "The personal is political." Gladwell turns that idea on its head, in her isolation seeing her struggle as a purely individual one. She views her unhappiness as evidence that something is amiss not with the life she is made to lead, but with her. I longed to be out in the world again, the world of people and demanding mental work. When I voiced my longing I was reproved, "Why can't you make your home and child your career?" I felt guilty — perhaps I lacked humility. I was alone in my problem. In my limited world I found no other woman like myself. There are tantalisingly brief references to the spells of depression she suffered, and she writes that she got over them by turning to the very housework she hated: "I had learnt the way to escape these depressions: this life of doing and serving which I thought I hated was the cure to my illness, for it provided balance to my introspective and self-centred self." With what the less pious will see as an excess of Christian charity, Gladwell even empathises with her in-laws' disapproval of their son's intentions of marrying a black woman. At the climax of the book, a turning point in her spiritual quest, when a boy on a bicycle calls her "Nigger," Gladwell's first reaction is anger. But, characteristically, she falls to her knees and wrestles with that rage, converting it into a deeper devotion to God. It was the church, too, that provided other routes to escape for Gladwell. It turned out to be both a means of making friends and a source of satisfying work: she was commissioned to rewrite a translation by the Inter-Varsity Fellowship, whose press eventually published Brown Face, Big Master. It's difficult now to believe that this book was controversial in its time; but then, it deals, although innocuously, with the touchy subjects of racism and a mixed marriage. From this distance, however, Gladwell often seems preternaturally meek. It's tempting, indeed, to surmise that, as with many West Indian women, Gladwell's subservience to her faith may have prolonged and deepened her oppression as well as making it easier to bear. For those of lesser faith, the most interesting chapters of the book are those in which Gladwell examines her early upbringing, dissecting the beliefs instilled in her about race, class, and colour, and the understandings she reached on her own account. At the Jamaican boarding-school she went to, she and her peers were brought up to be Englishwomen; but this was the 1950s, and new ideas about independence filtered into the school. Boldly, the girls even staged plays in Jamaican dialect. Gladwell writes carefully and with affection of the sights and sounds of rural Jamaica, the hymns and folk songs they sang. Her attention to detail and her engaging frankness and sincerity make Brown Face, Big Master, while not great literature, a useful document for the social historian, and a testimony to the distance that has been travelled in the 35 years since it was first published.

Animals learn to choose a proper action among alternatives according to the circumstance. Through trial-and-error, animals improve their odds by making correct association between their behavioral choices and external stimuli. While there has been an extensive literature on the theory of learning, it is still unclear how individual neurons and a neural network adapt as learning progresses.

CFP – New Queer Theory in Film & Television (10.2)
Deadline for draft submissions: September 5, 2014
The emergence of queer theory from the fields of post-structuralism and feminism in the 1990s sought to destabilize identity and its attendant heteronormative and cisgendered ideological constructions. Grounded in discussions of gender and sexuality as social constructs subject to flux, queer theory resists the violence of identity politics and challenges the idea that gender and sexuality are part of the essential self. Queer is most often associated with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities (LGBT), but may also be applied to such topics as cross-dressing, intersex, and gender ambiguity. It is less an identity than a critique of identity: a challenge to the male/female binary and to the normative and deviant classifications of sexuality.
What is the place of queer theory today? Are we entering a new chapter in queer theory and, if indeed we are, how may its interaction with film scholarship enrich and evolve the philosophical landscape of queerness? The scholarship of Judith Butler, Jack Halberstam, Lauren Berlant, and Lee Edelman (among others), as well as the work of philosophers Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida has endowed queer theory with a vibrant academic framework upon which to be expanded. Texts such as Butler's Gender Trouble (1990), Edelman's No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive (2004), and Halberstam's In a Queer Time and Place: Transgender Bodies, Subcultural Lives (2005) and The Queer Art of Failure (2011), have shaped the lively and ongoing discussion of queer politics and theory.
In Cinephile 10.2, coming Winter 2014, we seek submissions that explore the current state of queer theory in cinema, addressing its political legacy and its philosophy, as well as possible epistemological and methodological shortcomings that arise from queer theory's deconstructionist project. Prospective contributors are encouraged to focus upon queer theory's application to a range of cinematic and televisual texts and should not feel limited to discussions of queer-identified cinema. While use of queer visual texts is welcomed, we do not wish to discourage scholars taking queer scholarship in new directions by applying it to discussions of homosocial or heteronormative texts, for example. We also welcome intersectional perspectives that address queer theory as one part of a network that resists cultural hegemony.
