Beer Goggles Interviews H.R.H. Prince Luitpold Of Bavaria
Beer Goggles Interviews H.R.H. Prince Luitpold Of Bavaria
1. Visit the festival website and note any beers that are rare, limited, or special editions.
2. Aim to hit the festival on the early days. Even big festivals run out of both bottled and cask beers. Also, some beers may get a little old, so going at the start means you get the best of fresh casks.
3. Arrive early, as some beers are in limited supply and may be in high demand.
4. Buy a program.
5. Buy a pint glass but only drink thirds (third of pint measures).
6. Give the beer a twirl in the glass and bury your face into the glass for a good long sniff.
7. Let your brain chew over the different aromas gathered in the glass.
8. Put lips to the glass and fill your head by breathing in deeply through nose AND mouth.
9. Hold that breath and take a big gob full. Fill your head and your soul.
10. Whoosh it for a second and swallow.
11. Don't slurp and whistle in reverse etc (people WILL giggle. Even at a beer festival.)
12. No matter how much you enjoyed the beer, make a note of your thoughts and move on.
13. Mainly though, HAVE FUN. Beer is a serious art, but it is, first and foremost, FUN.
Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem
If you've heard the haunting and often gruesome ghost stories associated with this historic and world famous inn, you'd be forgiven for being more than pleasantly surprised when you step inside. Stories of tortured souls, death and curses are indeed carved into the castle rock that is the skeleton of Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem, but you are instead greeted by a warm beating heart living within the pub's historic sandstone cave walls. The staff are hospitable, responsive, courteous, and warm, whilst the overall ambience of the pub is romantic, blissfully congenial, and alive. The beers are quintessentially English and so match the inn beautifully, and are very well kept by a conscientious bunch of genuine beer lovers.
You can't go to such a fascinating ancient inn without talking history, so let's talk history.
Water's part in Ye Olde Trip's history.
Up until fairly recently, water has been a leading means to a painfully gut wrenching death. Without knowing the science behind beer, it was common knowledge that beer was safe to drink whilst the water it was made with, very rarely was quite so safe. Anywhere employing workers, from farms, to monasteries, to castles, would often supply their workers with germ free beer as part of their payment. The word 'cash' itself comes from the Egyptian beer 'Kash' that pyramid builders were paid in. The phrase, "wetting the baby's head" came from the practice of bathing new-born babies in sterile beer. The women of the households back then would brew a weak family beer to maintain her brood's health. Even the word 'honeymoon' came from the tradition of a 'bride to be' receiving the gift of honey from her Father. This was meant to be brewed into enough beer for the first 'moon' or lunar month of their marriage.
At the time the castle was built in 1068, the nearby river was re-routed to the castle grounds. This water was purified via the boiling process involved in brewing beer and was thus a safe supply to Nottingham Castle. It is therefore believed that the brew house and pub may actually date back to the castle's early days but this is mainly educated conjecture.
The pub's name.
The name, 'Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem' has connections with Richard The Lionheart, The Crusades and The Knights Templar as it was a resting up place (or 'trypp') for the knights and soldiers in preparation for the Crusades. It was probably named Ye Olde Trip much later though, as it was most probably called 'The Lionheart' and 'The Pilgrim' in the inn's early days.
The pub itself
Panning down the Castle Rock directly under Nottingham Castle, you're greeted by a black and white half-timbered building that looks quant and very pretty, but still unremarkable for a 17th Century building. It's not until you walk under Ada's Etherington Ward's old landlady sign, through the creaky door (please never oil this), and on into the pub itself that the magic starts. You feel immediately as though you are entering a time machine, not transporting you to a time and place, but instead simultaneously placing you into the whole of time itself. You are suddenly standing on Victorian flagstone floor, inside what looks and feels like prehistoric caves, watching people playing the traditional gypsy/pirate game of 'Ring The Bull', and drinking an imperial pint of the gorgeous Ye Olde Trip Ale by an antique Edwardian post box. Trippy to say the least!
Today Nottingham Castle still towers over the cliff edge, looking down at the inn like a hungry dinosaur creeping up on a magpie. The rock that the castle sits on has an elaborate network of caves etched into it and seems to still whisper it's dusty secrets long lost to history. Above one romantic alcove, a vertical shaft was believed to act as a chimney for the Brew House furnace and can be seen to exit near the castle walls.
Murder, torture, and treason.
Sir Roger de Mortimer (1287-1330) was an English nobleman fiercely loyal to King Edward I, but this loyalty didn't continue after the ascension to the throne of the king's son, King Edward II. His opposition to the new King quickly landed him in trouble and he was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1322, but soon escaped by drugging (or maybe paying off) the guards and fled to the safety of France. Not content with lying low though, Sir Roger the dodger began to have a secret affair with Queen Isabella, wife of Edward II. Mortimer and Isabella, 'The She-Wolf of France', deposed the King who was forced to run, tail between his legs, to Wales. Here he abdicated the 'true throne' to his son, Edward II, yet Isabella and Mortimer still ruled England in his absence. Mortimer and Isabella stayed in Nottingham Castle until the 17-year-old King Edward III summoned up an army to attack the well-defended castle. As a child Edward had probably played in the castle grounds, and knew of a shaft coming from the brew house to the castle. Edward's troops covertly crept into the Castle via the shaft and captured Mortimer and Isabella. Mortimer was said to have been thrown down this shaft on his way to be hung drawn and quartered in London at the Tyburn gallows. This shaft is to this day called Mortimer's Hole.
In the 'Rock Lounge' (I doubt we're talking ground shaking music here), there is a spookily lit toy galleon. A gift from a passing sailor, it is said to carry a curse to whomever moves or cleans in and so has remained covered in cobwebs and dust for many years. Those that have tried to clean it have died soon afterwards. It is now encased in a secure glass tank to ensure that it doesn't get touched by an overzealous cleaner. As if that isn't dangerous enough, there is also a fertility chair that when sat upon usually leads to a pregnancy, though personally I feel a bit more than sitting is probably necessary.
Moving over to The Snug (or 'snog' as our tour guide Patricia cutely pronounced it), and there are more spooky doings. An old photo hangs from one wall and the eyes do follow you hauntingly around the room. The lady is thought to have lived there and had died in bed in that room. Noises and voices have been recorded in here and the smell of old tobacco has been reported.
Down into the cellars we find a tiny claustrophobic room that was once a prison cell where some prisoners were strung out between the walls. A tankard is kept in the jailor's sitting alcove to keep the jailor happy and quite. Move it at your own peril for the gate is still there to lock you in.
Near to the 'Shouting Hole', the castle's direct line to the pub's cellar, is a 'Cock Pit' where fighting roosters would battle to the death for the fun and gambling of those gathered in this confined space. One night a past landlady's husband went to get something from there. He knew the cellars well and didn't bother turning on the light. As he crossed the room something icy touched him lightly on the back of his neck. He must have left those cellars like a rooster at Christmas that that had just spied the Paxo. Since then the lights are ALWAYS switched on." Ex-landlord, George Henry Ward aka "Yorkey" is said to be the 'humorous' culprit that likes to move things about, and keeps the present day staff on their toes (literally for I note quite a sense of respect and reverence when he is spoken of).
Today though, the place is cosy and romantic. The beers are cool and delicious, and the welcome is warm and friendly.
At some point in your life you ABSOLUTELY MUST make a pilgrimage to Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem.
The founding fathers of America were planning to land The Mayflower and settle further south in warmer climates, but instead chose Plymouth Rock because they had run out of beer. —- I wonder who owned the liquor store.
George Washington owned his own brewery. —- Is that The First Lady? No, its the thirst, lady.
At any given time, an estimated 0.7% of the whole world is drunk. —- I'll drink to that! HIC!
The American National Anthem, 'The Star Spangled Banner', was originally an old English drinking song from a famous London men's club. It was previously called 'To Anacreon In Heaven' and the original words were a dedication to the ancient Greek bard that wrote songs and poetry celebrating booze, women and song. —- I'll drink to that. HIC!
In medieval England, beer was served up along with breakfast. —- I'll HIC to that! Drink!
Sister Hildegard von Bingen (1098 – 1179), was not only the first person to add hops to beer; she was also a medic, philosopher, composer, poet, adviser to the Pontif, Kings, and other dignitaries. She was one of the first to champion women's rights and surprisingly wrote the first literature on the female orgasm. —- She was Nun of this, Nun of that, and Nun of the other.
The oldest brewery still brewing is The Weihenstephan Abbey in Germany. It has been producing beer for almost 1000 years, and is still brewing beers right up to the present day, though it is no longer officially an abbey. —- Brewing for 1000 years? That brew's ready by now, surely!
In brewery abbeys during the middle ages, fasting monks were allowed to drink five quarts of beer per day. Thats nearly 5 Litres! Give us this day our liquid bread. 5-a-day. —- That many liquid toasts is one unholy hangover.
Ancient Babylonians were so fastidious about maintaining good standards in beer quality, that any brewers producing naff beer were drowned in it. —- Far too lenient.
Inca tribes women brew a form of beer called Chicha. It is made from corn, and uses the salivary amylase enzyme from, yes, salivar to break down those corn starches. The village women chew the corn and then SPIT it into the mash tun, their saliva helps to convert the corns starches into fermentable sugars. —- Sounds delightful.
The waged Egyptian pyramid builders were paid partly in the liquid bread that is beer. It was called "kash" and this is where the word "cash" originates. —- What would you like Kash or Czech?
Bass beers triangle logo was the worlds first trademark. A devoted Bass employee stayed all night outside the registrar's office on New Years Eve 1876, just so that Bass would be first in the queue when the office opened in the morning. This famous logo can be seen in paintings by Manet and Picasso. —- That beats TV advertising for panache.
Olde world English drinkers would often bring their own beer tankards to the pub. Some had whistles in the handles so that, in rowdy bars, the drinker could get the attention of the bar staff. Hence the term for having a beer is "Wetting your whistle." —- I prefer drowning my whistle.
In 1814, an exploding beer vat destroyed a brewery and two homes. 100,000 gallons of beer flooded the neighbouring London streets and several unfortunate people lost their lives. —- Puts a whole new meaning to having a head on your beer.
Guinness scientists state that a pint of beer is lifted about ten times, and each time about 0.56 ml is lost in the drinkers facial hair. In fact, Britain alone loses 92,749 litres of beer each year in moustaches and beards. —- That is why I always wring my beard out before leaving my glass.
Stella Artois used to simply be called 'Artois'. It acquired the added 'Stella' (meaning Star) because that was the name of their popular Christmas beer. —- They wished it could be Chrisrmas everyday. Going by there sales figures, it has been.
The Scaffold's hit song, 'Lily The Pink' was about the supposed effect of hallucinations from alcoholism (pink elephants). One of the songs vocalists was Sir Tim Rice, famous lyricist from Broadway to Disney. Luckily, his one a only foray into singing. —- Don't call us, we'll call you.
In 1948, the Luxembourg branch of Alcoholics Anonymous had only 2 members. —- Something tells me there were other alcoholics about, but they were far from anonymous.
The 1974 annual dinner and dance for the Belfast branch of Alcoholics Anonymous turned into a massive punch up after bar staff had served the recovering alcoholics nearly £400 worth of booze. —- Anyone for punch?

Brewery: Hackney Brewery
News: Building A Fresh New Brewery In The Heart Of London
Head Brewer: Jon Swain & Peter Hills
Brewery Address:
Arch 358.
Laburnum Street,
London E2 8BB
Brewery Website: http://hackneybrewery.co.uk/
The song says, "Underneath the arches, I dream my dreams away", but the bass rumblings of the London tube line trains over these arches, sounds more like an anachronistic prelude, heralding the exciting brews to come. This embryonic brewery, set in a throbbing railway arch, in the throbbing heart of London, will be opening its curtains in May to the tympanic Fanfare of the Hackney Common Man, preceding, not pipe dreams, but hopefully, the pipeline to success.
OK, before I carry on with my inane dribbling and scribbling, some introductions are in order. Owner/Brewers, Pete and Jon have been lifelong friends and have been homebrewing all-grain beers since they were in short trousers, and brewing quality beer is a love that has never left them. Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work in your life." Well, they have worked hard within the beer industries for a long while but never at the tiller of their own vessels. Soon though, they will be charting the course of their own four fermenting vessels through the stormy seas of today's ebullient brewing climate. They may have a finger on the pulse when it comes to the future of the British beer industry, but they also have a passionately nostalgic feel for centuries of time-honoured pure all-grain brewing.
Hackney Brewery will be launching the first of their quality beers this May 2012, starting with a Great British classic style, Best Bitter.
Good luck guys!
Watch this space.

- Change the way the SMTP Server Queue is used. Before it used to just use one large input folder and was limited to keeping just about 10k files due to Windows OS limitations. Now the email files are distributed in a folder structure that keep the folder and file count under 1000 files per folder.

This eliminates the need to the UniqueID Only setting in Email List confirmation, it also allows for all UniqueID data types include GUIDs. This also address the problems with VERPs return-path emails being too long because of the encoded email address before the @ sign, so only the UniqueID index number is now sent in the return-path.

The Best Pancake Recipe
If you've been searching far and wide for the perfect pancake recipe, then look no further because we've got you covered. Weekends with your family will never be the same again and they'll fall in love with your fresh, steaming stack of delight.
So read on as we dive into some tips, tricks, and the best pancake recipe.
Cooking Tips
The perfect stack of fluffy pancakes begins with the batter. If your mixture is too thick, then your pancakes will be a total flop and they'll be pretty undercooked inside. If it's too runny, you'll encounter problems with the mixture spreading too thin. You can test your mixture with a ladle or spoon as you gently lift some above the rim.
As you observe the mixture, look out for a thick batter with a steady stream as it runs off of your spoon. If you happen to notice a couple of lumps it's more than okay. When it comes to cooking you'll need to preheat your nonstick pan on medium. After about two minutes, you can lower the heat, lightly grease with some butter and pour about 1/4 cup of the mixture into your pan.
While pouring, don't forget that you'll need to start in the middle as you continue in a circular motion. This ensures that the batter spread perfectly. Another tip for cooking is allowing your pancakes to cook properly and don't rush to turn them. Before you turn your pancake, you should see bubbles forming on the top and the underside should be a perfect shade of golden brown.
- Two cups of all-purpose flour
- Quarter of a cup of sweetener or granulated sugar
- Four tsp of baking powder
- Quarter of a tsp of baking soda
- Half of a tsp of salt
- One and three quarters cups of milk
- Quarter of a cup of melted butter
- Two tsp of vanilla extract
- One large egg
- Combine in the same bowl flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. After mixing, you'll need to make a well in the center where you'll add the milk, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter.
- Using a whisk, you'll need to whisk the wet ingredients together and then fold them into the dry. After mixing, the batter should be creamy and thick. However, if it's too thick, you can add a couple more tbs of milk.
- It's now time to heat your nonstick pan on medium or low heat with some light grease. When it's time to pour the mixture, you'll need to use 1/4 cup of mixture for each pancake.
- At the point where you see bubbles on the top and the underside is golden brown, you can flip and cook the other side.
As we conclude, we have just looked at the best pancake recipe. We've also looked at some tips that will help with the entire process. Keep in mind that the perfect pancake begins with the batter. Your steaming stack of pancakes can be served with fruit, honey, maple syrup, frozen yogurt, ice cream, or even plain!

Happy Top 5 Tuesday everyone!! This is week 2 of July's "themed" topics where we will be making lists of books that start with corresponding letters. Each week, we will have 5 letters and you will list one book for each letter.
Same thing as last week, i'm using this opportunity to talk about some books that I don't get to very often. There are so many books that I really enjoyed but I always mention the all time favourites first! So, if there was an all time favourite that started with a certain letter, I will choose something else just to give another book some time in the spotlight. This weeks letters are F-G-H-I-J. Here we go 🙂
Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme where I explore different topics. If you are interested in participating I would love to have you! Here is a list of my Upcoming Topics in July – please remember to ping back a specific post of mine so I get a notification and I will add you to the participants list!
F – THE FIREMAN by Joe Hill
If you're as clueless as I am, then what I'm about to say will be a surprise. But did you know that Joe Hill is Stephen King's son?? When I questioned this, the person who told me just laughed and told me to look at his author photo…. he is indeed Stephen King's son lol. And this book fits his fathers son in a very unique way! Also unique…. literally the entire story! There was survival, an epidemic, a cult…. and way more than I could fit into this description. Long, but worth it!!
G – THE GIRL IN 6E by A.R. Torre
This one was predictable but still so interesting! A girl has murderous tendencies so she locked herself in her apartment. But girls gotta make money to survive somehow….. so she becomes one of the most successful cam girls in the US. Providing sexual favours over the internet has made her essentially a millionaire with no way to spend it. But when she is forced to actually talk face to face with another human after a little girl goes missing, she starts to wonder if she can really be in public again.
H – HONOR AMONG THIEVES by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre
This book was a little bit unexpected! When I was in the process of reading this for the first time, there were a few things that bothered me. But, as the book went along, it turned into something unexpected! I haven't really stopped worrying about a few of the characters – need the sequel ASAP
I – INVICiTUS by Ryan Graudin
Ryan Graudin is one of my all time favourite authors. She writes historical fiction with a twist that you'll never expect. In this one, we have teams that have the ability to time travel and will go back to important times in history to record the events…… See what I mean by interesting!? They mustn't speak to anyone, or change the natural course of time….
J – JADE CITY by Fonda Lee
I feel like adding this one to the list was cheating a little bit….. I mean, I'm still in the middle of reading it! But, it's still unlike anything I've ever read. This is dence as hell but stets up a story that it almost unparalleled. Every little detail comes together for a story you'll never forget. I'm so close to finishing… so close!

The lists for last week were INCREDIBLE!!! Keep up the good work! As always, today will be crazy so it might take me some time to update the list. My husband has been diagnosed with an infection and is on an IV for steroids and antibiotics for the next few days. Nurses are short so they're coming today with a medication delivery and an IV pump and I have to be the one to do it for him…..I feel so bad for him!!!!! But damn today will be crazy!!!
Until next time, happy reading!

These birds have longer legs and narrower breasts than the beachball-shaped turkey that will end up on many Thanksgiving Day tables. What they lack in heft, however, these heritage birds make up for in flavor, proponents say.
They also make it up in price: a 20-pound certified organic turkey from Ayrshire Farm costs $180.
Heritage turkeys are at the forefront of a movement to preserve threatened breeds - some dating to the nation's founding by Europeans and earlier - to ensure the continuation of ancient genetic strains and, yes, to get them listed on a chic restaurant menu or in a display case of a boutique butcher shop.
"One of the things we say is you have to eat them to save them," said Marjorie Bender of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. "If we can give them their jobs back, then they're not museum artifacts."
The conservancy, based in Pittsboro, N.C., has been promoting the cause of threatened and neglected breeds since 1977. It has compiled a list of more than 150 breeds that reads like a passenger list on Noah's Ark, ranging from donkeys (including the Poitou, which resembles Eeyore, the forlorn donkey in "Winnie-the-Pooh") to sheep and turkeys.
Bender said the conservancy's primary goal is preserving these colorful and unusual breeds from extinction. The idea is to preserve the diversity of farm animals, as well as the history they embody.
When a breed is gone, Bender said, "The culture is being lost, the flavors are being lost, the traditions are being lost."
Some of those traditions date to the Spanish and English settlers who first arrived on our shores. They include the Pineywoods cattle, found primarily in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama; and Colonial Spanish horses, which include the Marsh Tacky. Chincoteague ponies, celebrated in the classic 1947 children's book, "Misty of Chincoteague," are a diluted link to the Colonial Spanish.
Ayrshire Farm is among the most spectacular settings for the rescue mission of breed preservationists.
Founded in Virginia's Piedmont region by Cisco Systems co-founder Sandy Lerner, its primary focus is English livestock.
The farm has a menagerie of livestock out of a children's book: Scottish Highland cattle, which resemble a woolly mammoth with their shaggy, butterscotch-colored coats and curved horns; Gloucestershire Old Spot Pigs, with ears that flop over their eyes; the Shires, 1-ton horses with feathered legs below their hocks; and many other breeds.
Ayrshire raised 412 turkeys this season, a large number considering the estimated 30,000 heritage birds used for production in the U.S.
"This farm is committed to several things," said Don Schrider, who manages large livestock at Ayrshire. "One commitment is certainly keeping these breeds from extinction."
This Thanksgiving, Americans will buy 46 million standard Broad-Breasted Whites, the big-breasted bird preferred by the majority of Americans, according to the National Turkey Foundation.
The difference between a heritage and factory bird is stark.
The standard commercial bird will be ready for the table in 18 weeks, compared with 26 weeks for the heritage bird; heritage birds forage, while the standard breed will live its short life before a feeding tray; and commercial birds cannot mate without human intervention. A market-ready industry turkey is the equivalent of an 11-year-old child weighing 300 pounds.
The conservancy, Bender said, is not opposed to agriculture on a large scale, and it recognizes that heritage breeds are not going to feed the masses.
Frank Reese comes as close as anyone to that lofty goal. His Good Shepherd Ranch about 1 hour north of Wichita, Kan., shipped out 11,000 birds this holiday season throughout the U.S. His prices were considerably lower than Ayrshire's, excluding shipping costs.
Reese has 160 acres but works with 15 other farmers in producing heritage breeds.
His favorite: the Bronze, the iconic copper-bronze bird historically associated with Thanksgiving.

Fairtrade farmers are among the people who have contributed the least to climate crisis – but are already feeling the worst effects. 17 people from Cote d'Ivoire have the same carbon footprint as one person in the UK, but studies have shown that Africa is the continent most vulnerable to climate change.
But across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Oceania, it is small-scale farmers who are often feeling the worst effects of climate breakdown. This is because they are less likely to earn a living income due to exploitative global trade and more likely to rely directly on the land they farm for their livelihoods. Climate change is making it harder to farm the land productively, while rigged trade systems which favour the powerful leave farmers unable to earn enough to adapt to the rapidly changing climate.
Ebrottié Tanoh Florentin, a cocoa farmer in Côte d'Ivoire, talks about what climate change means for cocoa farming communities in West Africa. 'Climate change is a global issue. We, the farmers, have to deal with its consequences every day. For instance, this year we lacked food because of the heat. The production decreased this year too, so this affects the economy. People harvested less and received less money. So we all suffer from the negative consequences of the climate: it impacts the environment and our economy.'
Read three more stories of Fairtrade farmers taking on the climate crisis.

Telltale's Batman is about to debut on August 2nd and a trailer was just released for Episode 1, titled 'Realm of Shadows'.
Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale's vision of Batman will feature an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. Additional cast and characters will be revealed as the season progresses.
One of the key features of Telltale's Batman when compared to any previous Batman game will be the focus on Bruce Wayne. In fact, certain scenes may be approached as either Batman or Bruce with specific consequences for each decision.
Telltale's Batman will be available digitally at first, but retailers will sell a special Season Pass disc starting September 13th in North America and September 16th in Europe. This disc will include the first of five episodes in the season, and will grant access to the subsequent four episodes as they become available for download via online updates.
Telltale Games entered a worldwide distribution agreement with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, which will handle the distribution in stores for both Batman and the upcoming third season of The Walking Dead.
Telltale's Batman will be available for PC and Mac from the Telltale Online Store, Steam and other digital distribution services; on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, on the Xbox Games Store for Xbox One and Xbox 360, on the App Store for compatible iOS devices and on Google Play or the Amazon Appstore for compatible Android devices.

Who runs and conducts the background checks? Is that not the state or the Government? And you can't always tell if a person is going to use a gun unlawfully down the line. Just the same way that you usually can't tell if someone is going to mow somebody down with a car after they pass their driver's test.

Beginning tomorrow and continuing the following Saturday, high school teams from throughout the county will convene for the 49th annual Orange County Academic Decathlon. We've got that and more in this week's roundup of local education news.
- Three students from OCDE's Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program have advanced to the final four in the national "Battle of the Books" reading competition sponsored by Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.
- A nonprofit education organization announced a voluntary certification program aimed at establishing uniform standards for high school academies that promote career readiness.
- A special education teacher from the Newport-Mesa Unified School District won the coveted 2016 Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching, allowing him to research student-led learning practices in another country.
- Months after the Fullerton Joint Union High School District issued Chromebooks at its six campuses, La Habra High's tech-savvy principal says the devices have transformed how students approach learning.
- A team from Fountain Valley High School placed fifth in a state contest challenging students to create mock businesses. Now their virtual enterprise is headed to the national competition in New York.
- Over the next two Saturdays, dozens of local high schools will participate in the 49th annual Orange County Academic Decathlon, competing for individual awards, local bragging rights and a chance to represent Orange County at the California Academic Decathlon.
- The Centralia School District has committed to preparing student meals from scratch at least once a week, joining dozens of other districts participating in the California Thursdays initiative.
- And finally, art students from Santa Ana High School are painting portraits of homeless men and women — and using the proceeds to benefit their subjects.
That's all for now. Have a great weekend.
