BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 9, 2012 – Church Divinity School of the Pacific this week launched a website that has been completely rebuilt, top to bottom, with a new structure, new navigation, new design, new features, and new content. The new site treats home-page visitors to rotating images, messages and profiles.
The address of the seminary's website – www.cdsp.edu -- is the same, but everything else except the logo has changed.
The new website offers its visitors many ways to explore the vitality of CDSP people and programs, with a variety of links and tools that engage a wide range of audiences, from alumni to prospective students.
Visitors to the site can share, print or respond to every page. "Quick-links" pages for key audiences and a robust key-word search provide easy access to information about theological education at CDSP. The site highlights connections to CDSP social media – Facebook, YouTube and Twitter – and the school's connections to the ecumenical and inter-religious Graduate Theological Union.
Academics, Admissions, Alumni, and Community are the major subsites of the website, which features rotating profiles of students, faculty and alumni, and new content about worship, housing, online learning, The Episcopal Church and the rich history and traditions of CDSP. Dynamic links give visitors to pages throughout the new website the latest information about campus events and news, which are continuously updated.
The renovated Easton Hall Conference Center has its own subsite that includes slide shows and online registration.
Featured navigation links on CDSP's new website provide quick paths to the Easton Hall pages, as well as to the Center for Anglican Learning and Leadership (CALL), and the GTU. Another feature on several subsites and the home page offers prospective students and potential visitors updated reports on the mild Berkeley weather. Student and faculty sermons and campus publications are easy to find.
Using a new color palette that blends the colors of the CDSP seal with the traditional shield of The Episcopal Church, the new site emphasizes the people, the community, and the mission of the 119-year-old seminary.
"CDSP is all about providing opportunities for growing and learning in a worshiping community that thrives in a richly diverse setting. The new website conveys the richness of this, and its audience-focused design and content make it easier to get involved with this community," said Barry Holtzclaw, director of Marketing and Communications, who manages the content of the website. "I encourage everyone – curious newcomers and old friends -- to rediscover CDSP at www.cdsp.edu."
The website reconstruction was financed by a designated anonymous gift from a Southern California donor. The project was developed in consultation with Webb Design of San Francisco.

Saturdays seven point defeat to Gustavus was but a mere setback for the Oles, who know that the seven-month season that lays before them will be filled with many twists and turns.
"There are definitely things to improve on, I think in the next month we will focus a lot on technique." Rachel Van Scoy 06 said.
Gustavus edged out the Oles by clinching a victory in the duals final event, the 400 freestyle relay race.
The weekend, however, wasnt a total loss for the Ole women. Freestylist Carly Knoell broke a pool record in the 1000 yd race, finishing with a time of 10:59.94, making it the first time a MIAC female swimmer has finished the race under 11 minutes.
Katie Detwiler 05 also won the 200 IM for the Oles.
Although the teams distance relay teams failed to take first place at the meet, their effort was not lost on their teammates.
"Ive never seen girls with such determined faces as during the Animal relay [200 fly, 400 IM, 500 freestyle]," Van Scoy 06 said. "If determination looked like a person, itd be a distance swimmer."
Van Scoy admits that her opinion is biased, but adds "Im a sprinter. Im allowed to say that."
Failure to pull out the Gustavus meet has done little to spoil the Oles hopes.
"The strong swims that we have had already are promising for the months to come," Emily Love 06 said.
The team, however, must still answer a few questions heading into the season. How will they replace All-American breastroker Anna Guenther and the three other top MIAC breastrokers that graduated last year?
"This season is going to be a struggle with breaststroke," Alisha Cowell 06 said. "But hopefully we can overcome that with our depth in other events, like sprint and distance freestyle."
Not all changes from last years team have been bad for the Oles. Increased camaraderie among the womens and mens teams and promising performances by newcomers give the team hope for a successful year.
"The wonderful thing about this year compared to last year is that it's much harder to distinguish between the men's dynamics and the women's dynamics as individual groups," Van Scoy said. "It's a fun group of people all around, which is essential in sticking to a seven month sport with dedication and a good attitude,"
Returning divers Emily Koeck 05 and Collin Cunningham 05 head this years talent crop..
"We've got some incredibly talented div-ers, and we're working harder than ever. I think we have the potential to have people finish in the top five at the MIAC conference meet," Koeck said.
The team will have to adjust to the absence of Cunningham who will leave the team over Interim to study in South Africa. First-year diver Elizabeth Manning will step in for her.
The women will undoubtedly see their stiffest competition in the MIAC come from Gustavus and Carleton.
"Both teams have a lot of depth, and since we're short on breaststrokers, they will be able to gain some ground on us there," Love said.
Even with the lingering loss and remaining questions to be answered, the Oles are quietly confident.
"I dont want to jinx us," Koeck said. "But I think we can take them."

Duck Leg Confit
Does anyone know where I can purchase this in the Cleveland area? The store where I was going to get it is now out of business. This was the only place I have ever seen it for sale in this area and I'm planning on making a Cassoulet. There are recipes for this on the net, but they require a large amount of duck fat which I really can't easily lay my hands on so making it is out of the question. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You can make your own confit. I don't know what your cooking skills are but, if you buy a single duckling you should be able to render enough fat off it to prepare a confit. If you are little short on duck fat supplement with olive oil.
you might get more replies if you add cleveland to the header!
maybe ask around in the westside market? or visit the cleveland.com food & wine forum too.
you may already have your answer by now, but if not...I buy it from Metropolitan Market which just moved to Landerwood Plaza in Pepper Pike. They sell it frozen in cryo-vac packs, skinless and boneless, which is fine if you are making cassoulet. If they are out, you can order whole legs from D'Artagnan, but the shipping is rather expensive. Various Heinen's locations as well as West Point Market in Akron carry it at times. A company called More Than Gourmet now makes duck fat in 4 oz as well as 1lb tubs for cooking. Great for fried potatoes!
I made a great dish with it last week-I made some sweet potato gnocchi and needed some sort of sauce for it. So in a skillet I sauteed some shallots, added the shredded duck confit and heated thru. Added some heavy cream, a few twigs of thyme and let it simmer for about a half hour. Just a small amount of the sauce was needed for the gnocchi as both items were fairly rich.
Thanks for that info. Metropolitan Market was the place where I had seen it before and was very disappointed when I went to their old location. I was so mad I didn't notice if there was any sign indicating they had moved. In any case, I found out through a friend a few days ago of their new location. I called and as you stated they have it but off the bone and skinless.
For the record, I wound up buying it on line from a place in Indianna called Maple Leaf Farms. Theirs is still on the bone with the skin. They make a very good product plus include a generous amount of fat along with it. I compared prices between this place and Met. Market. The latter sells theirs for around $10/lb before taxes, the former for around $11/lb even after you pay for shipping. Maple Leaf Farms sells a very reasonably priced good quality product, the legs have a great herb rub and are very tasty. I highly recommend this place for duck leg confit. It ships in about 2 days in a styrofoam container packed with dry ice as well as a standard ice pack. I wouldn't order in the summer, but this time of year the stuff arrived in great shape. In fact I was so happy with the first effort I ordered more for the holidays and am having it shipped to the Binghamton, NY area where we will have Cassoulet for New Year's Day dinner.
At least one of the poultry stands in the West Side Market sells individual duck legs, as well as duck fat. Also, there's a guy at the North Union Farmer's Market that sells duck, and some times has just the legs.
A bit off topic -- I found on the Niman Ranch website that a place called Euro USA in Cleveland sells their meat. Does anyone know anything about this place? As far as I can tell, it's just a distributor, but perhaps there's a retail store.
I've also gotten duck legs and fat from Kaufmann's poultry in WSM. I made my first duck confit from their stuff about a month ago and it was great.
re: Jambalaya
You have to ask for the duck fat (not on display), but the legs are usually right there in the front. In fact, I'm not even sure the place I'm thinking of sells whole ducks (just the legs). However, you could render your own fat -- just buy a whole duck and you'll have more than enough to make confit a couple times over.
Euro USA is a distributor and they supply many local restaurants and retailers. I used to be a buyer for a local shop and worked with them. While they claimed they didnt sell to the public, pI had customers who told me they bought directly from them, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to call. At the leats they can tell you where they sell Niman stuff to. Doesn't Omaha Steaks get their pork from Niman Ranch? They have a store at La Place in Beachwood.
Northern Haserot is another local distributor that supplies manily just restaurants, and they own Metropolitan Market.
re: justink
i think CHIPOTLE burrito chain uses niman ranch too -- at least it did initially as a marketing gimmick. could ask there?
Kaufmanns at wsm is indeed now selling duck by the piece. I feel this is fairly recent as I am at the market often and only just noticed in the last month or two (before only sold whole duck). The leg/thigh pieces have a ton of fat. While you are at the market go to ohio city pasta and pick up some pumpkin sage gnocchi to go with. mmmm

Reacting to Mickey Arthur's comments on him that he was down on self confidence and needed a technical tweak to his bowling after the Chennai Test, Nathan Lyon shot and asserted that his confidence is anything but dented.
Lyon admitted that he was very expensive in the first Test, giving away 244 runs for just four wickets as Australia lost the contest by eight wickets, but the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar only helped him gaining confidence. "To bowl Sachin Tendulkar through the gate you must be doing something right," Lyon was quoted as saying by the Australian media as the visitors began a two-day break before resuming training for next week's third Test.
"No, I reckon it [confidence] has gone up if anything, bowling the best batsman in the world through the gate. As an offspinner growing up that's what you dream of. My confidence has gone up a level rather than down," Lyon said. "I was quite happy with that. I went for a few runs here and there, but bowling against the best bats in the world in their conditions, they were obviously going to come hard at me playing one spinner in the side." Read more

When NFL free agency got underway, many players were off the market in the blink of an eye. However, there are still some talented players and a few big names waiting for contract offers. Now that the NFL Draft is over, teams have a better idea of what holes they need to fill for the 2013 season. Here are some of the top players/biggest names still available (in no particular order):
RB Ahmad Bradshaw: There wasn't much early interest in Bradshaw due to some injury concerns, but he has now been given full medical clearance. Bradshaw left a visit with the Steelers about a month ago, and the thought was that the team would check up on him once he was healthy. The Steelers have since drafted running back Le'Veon Bell, and are no longer interested. Teams in search of a backup running back - such as the Chargers and Buccaneers - could use the veteran runner.
RB Michael Turner: Here's a guy who's got much more fame than game at this point in his career. He has yet to generate any interest, but should latch on somewhere in training camp as a potential short-yardage specialist.
WR Brandon Lloyd: Since leading the league in receiving yards in 2010, Lloyd has played for three different teams, and is now in search of a fourth. The NFL is likely playing hot potato with Lloyd due to his "erratic" behavior that has led some to believe he may be bipolar. Now that the word is out on Lloyd's character concerns, he'll have a much tougher time finding a home. He was still relatively productive on the field last season, catching 74 passes for 911 yards, so he'll likely end up heading to a receiver-needy team.
WR Titus Young: Another player with more than enough talent to play in this league, but far too much off-field baggage for franchises to handle. Young intentionally lined up incorrectly on several plays last season because he was upset with his lack of targets. It has been suggested that Young has "legitimate mental problems." It would take a very receiver-needy team facing a completely depleted free agent market to give Young a chance, and even then, he'd be on an extremely short leash.
RB Peyton Hillis: It looks like Hillis' 1,177 yard, 11 touchdown campaign in 2010 was less of a breakout season and more of a fluke season. He has run for 896 yards and four touchdowns on 3.6 yards per carry in two seasons since then. He looks much like a one-year wonder, but his size and power could make him a solid short-yardage option well worth a cheap contract.
OT Bryant McKinnie: McKinnie didn't make a regular season start in 2012, but was one of the unsung heroes of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl run. He played great during the postseason, handling the likes of players such as Von Miller and Aldon Smith. A return to the Ravens is possible, while the tackle-needy Dolphins and Chargers have also expressed interest. It appears that McKinnie is currently asking for more money than teams are willing to pay.
WR Devery Henderson: This long-time deep threat for Drew Brees has never quite been able to convert his athletic ability into production, but has been a field-stretcher who has led the league in yards per reception twice. However, he had the worst season of his career (excluding a rookie year in which he played one game) in 2012, and will likely latch on to a team late and have to earn his spot on the roster.
RB Cedric Benson: The Packers were said to be keeping tabs on Benson, but they have since drafted two of the top backs in the draft and are likely no longer interested. Though he used to be able to take full workloads and not slow down, Benson's 2012 season was ended due to injury. He also hasn't averaged 4+ yards per carry since 2009. Now 30-years-old, the former 4th overall pick will hope to find a role as veteran depth.

Yikes! I Found Green Meat on My Free-Range Chicken
Good Questions
Q: Have any of you ever found green meat on your chicken? I recently roasted a chicken and there was a tiny spot of green meat. It was very unsettling. I contacted the farmer, who said it was bruising on the chicken.
A quick Google search offered a thread on Chowhound where I learned that most of the people who had this problem purchased their chicken directly from a farmer, or from a free-range chicken source. One of the theories on the Chowhound thread also said it resulted from "excessive flapping" done by free-range chickens. There are other theories that it's gangrene. Either way, it's very unsettling to eat green chicken. Have any of your readers experienced this?.

Editor: Carrie, thanks for the link to the Chowhound thread — how interesting!

Readers, have you ever experienced anything like this?

It's unsettling for sure, but agree it's from bruising. When you're free range, walking around bonking into things, scuffling with other hens you're bound to get a few bumps and bruises compared to the "safety" of being confined in a small cage, sitting in your own feces.
If the meat is fresh and otherwise wholesome, it's not gangrenous. If it were, you'd know.
If it bothers you, just eat around it. Bruising occurs because blood vessels in the muscle are broken, and some blood accumulates there. It changes colors as it's cleared out. No big deal.
It's called green muscle disease or Deep Pectoral Myopathy it's gross but it doesn't ruin the whole chicken.
Katlian -- thanks for the info and link! My local poultry guy always just said it was from bruising. Good to know.
It's basically the same thing that makes Dr. House limp. Ouch.
From what I've read, farmers can either choose smaller breasted heritage breeds or keep the birds in a dark, confined space so they don't flap their wings. Our chicken CSA uses heritage birds and the smaller breasts are fine with me, I like dark meat better anyway.
make up your minds, friends. either you buy free roaming, healthy chicken to eat and deal with normal free roaming, healthy animal peculiarities, or you buy bleached out, ethically ambiguous hunks of white meat.
@ waltzngmatlda -- She's already buying free-range chicken, she's just wondering why part is green. Seems like a valid question to me.
If it had been gangrenous (i.e. rotting) you would have smelled it. It must be bruising.
I'm glad someone posted this as I've recently made the switch to buying pasture raised chicken at my weekly farmer's market and I'm bound to run into this at some point. Thanks for answering my questions ahead of time!
I grew up in a home where we raised chickens. Free range chicken will never look as good as the chickens in cages. One of the reasons they put chickens in cages and pump them full of stuff is so that their appearance will be prefect, and with out any unsettling bits. As we get back in touch with where real food comes from these questions will come up. Keep asking questions. Meat is ugly and should be, it is a dead animal, that has hopefully had some kind of a natural life.
Very helpful to know this. It'd be disconcerting to buy a free-range chicken, encounter green meat, and not have anybody around to ask!
I found a different kind of green on some meat recently. This was in Costco brand ham deli meat (sealed package, not deli sliced), and it was an iridescent green spot. It was really bright, and sort of changed colors depending on the angle. The spot went through several slices of meat, and was maybe dime or nickel sized.
I have no idea what it was, perhaps some sort of marker/tag from the animal, like a tattoo of sorts?
We had already eaten half the package before I saw it, so I just pulled the green parts off and fed them to my cats and we ate the rest of it. None of us died, so I guess it wasn't poisonous, but I am kind of curious. Anyone know what it might have been?
Jenny, I have heard that the shimmery green/blue effect is caused by tiny particles of fat collecting on the surface of the meat fibers and refracting light. It's like how a thin slick of oil on a puddle can cause rainbows.
There are other things that can cause green meat, but if it's shiny and changes color, the fat is probably the cause.

Deep pectoral myopathy is usually larger than these small spots people talk about. see Merck http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm/bc/205102.htm) The texture of the meat will be quite a bit different - cooked-feeling or grainy. It's less likely, from the descriptions, this is what people are talking about. It is screened for at slaughter and there's no reason a small farmer can't check for it relatively easily.
Birds break down heme pigments differently than we do. Think about a bruise - it's red, it's brownish or purple, then it's greeny yellow. Birds go straight to the green - and it can be fluorescent. If it's a small focus, brilliant green to greeny yellow, with no smell and no real texture changes, this is likely what you're dealing with. Birds are living animals, they have a lot of blood and are surprisingly delicate things - they bruise easily. A peck from another bird, a not very graceful movement off a perch - bruises.

Olympic cycling champion Sanchez crashes out of Tour, Olympics
Sanchez fell badly during the second mountain stage of the Tour and although the fall, which also involved Spaniard Alejandro Valderde, looked relatively innocuous, Sanchez remained on the ground, Xinhua reports.
He received attention from the doctor of his Euskaltel-Euskadi team, but was unable to continue in the race as a result of a broken collar bone. The injury means it will be almost impossible for him to defend his Olympic title.
The Olympic champion is the third rider of the Spanish Olympic team to suffer serious injury in this year' s Tour: Juan Jose Rojas also broke his collar bone in a fall Tuesday, while Friday veteran sprinter Oscar Freire was also forced to return home after a fall in which he broke a rib and perforated a lung.
Rojas has already been replaced by Spanish champion, Fran Ventoso, although Spain captain Jose Luis de Santos has not yet named a replacement for Freire.
De Santos will be crossing his fingers that the five-man squad suffers no further problems, given that the other two members, Luis Leon Sanchez and Alejandro Valverde have also fallen several times each in the first week of the Tour, fortunately neither has suffered any serious problems.
Meanwhile Rojas reacted to Sanchez' s injury by posting "we seem to be jinxed," on his Twitter account.

All beer is made in roughly the same manner. When barley is harvested, it is taken to a maltings where it is soaked in water and laid out on a heated floor where it starts to germinate, with roots breaking through the skin or husk. Germination triggers natural chemical reactions inside each tiny grain that begin to convert the starch in the malt into fermentable sugar. When the maltster judges that germination has gone far enough he moves the grain into a kiln, a type of chimney with a mesh floor: intense heat from below dries and gently cures the malt. The level of the heat determines the type of malt produced. Pale malt is the basis of all beer as it is richest in the enzymes that convert starch into sugar. Darker malts are more fiercely heated and the end results, depending on their colour, are called amber, brown, chocolate and black malts. Unmalted roasted barley is also used in the production of stouts, especially the "Dry Irish" style. Dark malts have little fermentable material in them and are used primarily for flavour and what brewers call "body", the richness and fullness of their beers. Stewed malts, made in a sealed and heated drum, also add delicious nutty flavours and body to beer: the main type of stewed malt is crystal.
When the malt reaches the brewery it is cleaned, split and then loaded into a large circular vessel called a mash tun where it is blended with pure hot water (always known as "liquor" to brewers). The thick, porridge-like mixture stands in the tun for one and half hours or two hours and during that time the enzymes in the malt finish the conversion of the starches to brewing sugars, a process known as "saccharification". The brewer will run off some of the sugary liquid through taps set into the side of the tun to test that starch conversion is complete and will then open the slotted floor of the vessel to allow the liquid, called "wort", to percolate through the thick bed of spent grain. The brewer also rinses or "sparges" the grain with more hot liquor to wash out any stubborn, remaining sugars. In traditional lager brewing, two or three mash kettles are used, with portions of the mash pumped from one kettle to another, heated to a higher temperature and then returned to the first vessel. This method is used because lager malt has been more roughly prepared in the maltings and needs a longer and more thorough mashing in the brewery to convert the starches to sugar. When the mash is complete it is clarified in yet another vessel called a lauter tun.
The wort is pumped to a boiling copper where hops are added. Hops are called "the grapes of brewing": their tannins and acids add superb aromas and flavours to beer as well as intense bitterness. Depending on the variety of hop, the aroma may be spicy, peppery, resiny, citric or perfumy. In ale brewing, most brewers prefer to blend two or even three different varieties in the copper to give the preferred balance of aromas and flavours needed. The classic English varieties are the Fuggle, with its deep bitterness, and the Golding, which has a fine resiny and spicy aroma, but there are many more to choose from. During the two-hour copper boil, the hops are added in stages to avoid all the aromas and bitterness being distilled off: the last addition comes right at the end of the boil.
The liquid, now called "hopped wort", is cooled before being pumped into fermenting vessels and thoroughly mixed with brewer's yeast. Yeast comes in two basic forms: warm or "top" fermenting cultures used for ale production, or cold or "bottom" fermenting cultures used to make lager. Ale yeasts work at a warm temperature, and create a thick, fluffy head on top of the fermenting liquid. Yeast is a type of fungus and voraciously attacks liquid sugars, converting them into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. The ferocity of ale fermentation also creates aromas and flavours known as "esters" that are reminiscent of such fruits as apples, pears, bananas, lemons and oranges. Lager fermentation is at a lower temperature, and is followed by a long cold conditioning or "lagering" (from a German word meaning storage) during which time the beer matures, and purges itsself of unwanted flavours and esters, with an end result that is clean and quenching.
When ale fermentation is complete, the beer is left to condition for a few days to rid itself of rough flavours. It may then be filtered and pasteurised and pumped into kegs or bottles. But the jewel in the brewer's crown, cask-conditioned beer, is simply run or "racked" into wide-bellied casks and sent off to pubs. A glutinous substance called finings made from isinglass is poured into each cask to help clear it while many brewers add a handful of hops and extra brewing sugar for a good hoppy aroma and a successful secondary fermentation.
In the pub cellar, kept cool at 11 to 12 degrees C (52-56 F), the living yeast cells in the beer continue to turn the remaining sugars into alcohol and CO2. The publican or his cellarman monitor the development of each cask carefully, for they are dealing with the Champagnes of the beer world. A soft wooden peg or "spile" is knocked into a bung hole on top of the cask to allow some of the gas created by fermentation to vent off. As fermentation slows, the soft peg is replaced by a hard one that keeps the gas inside the cask to give the beer condition and sparkle. At the same time, the finings slowly drag the spent yeast cells and proteins to the belly of the cask. Samples of the beer are pulled off through a tap knocked into the end of the cask: when the beer is perfectly clear and its aromas and flavours are judged to be balanced and rich, plastic pipes or "lines" are attached to the taps of the casks and the beer is then pulled by beer engines, triggered by handpumps on the bar, to the drinkers' glasses.
There are two main myths about cask ale. One is that all real ale is strong, the second is that it is warm. In fact, cask ale comes in many forms, from a low strength Mild of around 3.2 per cent alcohol by volume, a Bitter of 3.5 to 3.8 per cent, a Best or Special Bitter of 4 to 4.5 per cent, an Extra Special Bitter of 5 per cent or more, and then more powerful Old Ales, Barley Wines and Winter Warmers that can reach as high as 10 or 11 per cent. Cask beer, by its very nature and method of production, is cellared and served at a higher temperature than lager. But 12 degrees C/57 F in your glass is cool, not warm, and it is this temperature that best expresses the skill of the brewer in developing rich, ripe and tempting aromas and flavours in his brews. Warm beer has unpleasant tastes, while ale served too cold loses those rich malt and hop aromas the brewer has created. Cask-conditioned ale is one of the wonders of the beer world. No other style can offer such depth and complexity. It is the pinnacle of the brewers' art.
Tasting beer is not just about being able to say 'this pint is good' or 'this pint is bad'. It is important to be able to identify indivudal flavours which are present in the beer. There are 1000s of different beers available in British pubs and it is impossible to know what all of them ought to taste like. So instead, you need to learn which flavours should be present in beer and which shouldn't.
These Cask Marque tasting cards show some of the the flavours which you would expect to find in cask ale, as well as their 'official' name.
And similarly, it is important to be able to identify flavours which should not be present in beer, or the 'off flavours'. Recognising what these are can help to identify the cause of any problem, be it a brewery fault, a problem in the cellar or lines or perhaps the beer has been on sale too long.

Dea Latis, the women and beer group held its second Beers with Breakfast event last week in a seven-beer hair-of-the-dog morning session at the Somers Town Coffee House in London.
The female gathering of journalists, bloggers, brewers and marketeers assembled to test their taste buds alongside the delicious breakfast menu at the Yummy Pub Co owned pub in Chalton Street near Euston.
Beer sommelier, Jane Peyton, was guest speaker for the group and offered her impassioned plea to women to consider the UK's national drink as regular a drink of choice.
There was no need to persuade the hungry group of tasters of the merits of beer as Beer Sommelier Annabel Smith began her tutored tasting and everyone got stuck in.
Over the next 90 minutes they quaffed, nibbled, deliberated, Tweeted, snapped and scribbled through seven beers - kindly donated by each of the brewers - and the accompanying breakfast courses in true multi-tasking style.
The menu began with a poached egg and smoked salmon with Hollandaise drizzle on a toasted muffin served with St Austell Brewery's 4.8% abv Clouded Yellow beer and ended with a Wells and Young's 5.2% abv Double Chocolate Stout served with pancakes with chocolate sauce and blueberries. (See the full menu below.)
At the end of the tasting the unanimous winner was the eggs and smoked salmon with Hollandaise dish which beautifully complemented the citrusy notes of St Austell Brewery's Clouded Yellow beer.
Lisa Harlow, who helped to organise the event with Ros Shiel and Annabel Smith, said: "At the end of a fantastic year for beer – and a year where there are more women brewing and drinking beer than ever before* – this was a wonderful cross-industry celebration of our versatile, varied and flavoursome UK brews. It was great that we could highlight that different styles of beers will go with just about anything – even breakfast!"
* Women trying real ale for the first time has grown from 14% to 34% in the last three years. CAMRA, August 2013
The seven beers with seven breakfasts menu
With thanks to all the brewers who donated and delivered the beers and to Anthony and the crew at Somers Town Coffee House, the full beer and food menu was as follows:
• Poached Egg and Smoked Salmon with Hollandaise Drizzle served with
St Austell Brewery's Clouded Yellow 4.8% (from St Austell Brewery in Cornwall)

As abortion bills cross hurdles in the legislature advocates are breathing a sigh of relief.
"We think it's getting Mississippi on a pro life track," said Christi Chandler with the Pro Life America Network.
Chandler says the bills are a foundation. The first one to pass the house would require any doctor at an abortion clinic to be certified in obstetrics and gynecology and have privileges at a local hospital.
Those regulations alone could shut down the state's only abortion clinic in Jackson. Chandler says it may be a pro life bill, but it's protecting women more than anything.
"We want to make sure that we have doctors here that know what they're doing.we want to make sure doctors can care for women if they did have a problem," said Chandler.
The second bill would require physicians to search for a fetal heartbeat before performing an abortion and get written consent showing the mother is aware of her unborn child's heartbeat. The bill also defines an "unborn human individual" as "an individual organism of the species homo sapiens from fertilization until live birth."
"We're very happy. We feel like there needs to be some regulations on the clinic care," said Chandler.
Those opposing the legislation say it's an insult to Mississippi voters who voted down the controversial Amendment 26 initiative regarding personhood last November.
An effort to put personhood back on the ballot is already underway since a piece of personhood legislation failed to gain traction at the capitol. Meantime, those abortion bills now sit with the senate, just a few steps away from becoming law.
There's also another piece of legislation currently pending in the house, which would require physicians to be present when women take abortion-inducing drugs as well as require physicians to perform more follow up visits.

Sure Walgreen's is Cheap, and for Good Reason
Tim is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As a proponent of value investing, I'm always on the lookout for inexpensive stocks relative to others in their industry. So you'd think a well-known company like Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG) would fit the bill. Alas, it is not to be.
Too Many Problems
Though Walgreen is first and foremost a chain of pharmacy stores, they also offer customers a diversified line of consumer products. At first glance, that's a good thing. The more diversity in retail lines the less reliance on the whims of one or two products. Unfortunately, the problems with WAG go well beyond the products offered.
Though sales were up in the recent quarter year-over-year, profits were down; and you know what that means. Controlling expenses -- or not controlling them in Walgreen's case -- had a much bigger impact than either the company or analysts expected. And investors have had to bite the bullet, with the stock dropping about 9% already this past week, bringing the total (lack of) return for the year to nearly 20% in the red.
And if today's open is any indication, and it is, about the only way investors will see a return in the immediate future from Walgreen's is to short the stock. With operating expenses rising and what appear to be irreconcilable differences with pharmacy benefits provider Express Scripts (NASDAQ: ESRX), 2012 doesn't look any better. Of course, fewer prescriptions will also impact ancillary sales from those customers who come into the stores to get their orders filled.
According to President and CEO Greg Wasson, even without ESRX on the books in 2012 he expects the company to achieve 97% to 99% of this year's prescription sales volume. First, that's mighty optimistic and second any drop in revenue at a time when margins are squeezed by increasing expenses is nothing to write home to Mom about. Though, by the sound of things that's what Mr. Wasson is attempting to do.
Here's where things get frustrating. In an industry with leaders like CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS), Medco Health Solutions (UNKNOWN: MHS.DL) and Omnicare (NYSE: OCR) toting P/E ratios ranging from 16 all the way up to OCR's staggering 62, even the most modest results from Walgreen would be a godsend. Even with WAG's 2.9% yield and an inexpensive 10.56 P/E, pulling the trigger would be unwise right now.
Until expenses come in line with revenues and investors can see what a quarter without Express Scripts really looks like, Walgreen is a risk right now that's probably not worth taking.
The investment opinions included are just that, opinions. Tim is not a licensed investment professional, nor has he been for several years. Investing involves risk, as you well know, so consider your decisions wisely.

Think back a few years ago before the Apple ipad (if you are in the medical field, there is a good chance you'll relate to this). Remember back when "tablet" computers were essentially laptops sans-keyboard with little plastic styluses? Now kindergarteners are using tablets instead of chalk boards. What happened?
Despite rocky economic situations all over the world, the consumer electronics market has been teeming with new gadgets and innovations. Over the past five years we've seen an explosion in the smartphone and high-end mobile device market, a social media revolution that has changed the way businesses reach out to customers, and now people (not just technophiles) are ditching their laptops for 10-inch tablets. If this hasn't changed the way you do business yet, it will.The three big shifts mentioned above are partially all related. Social media has been a big deal for years, but creative companies have been constantly tinkering with new ideas to make it work for them. Globally, about one out of every seven human beings is on Facebook and more than a third of those users use Facebook mobile. Since Apple kick-started the tablet market with the original ipad two years ago, tablets have made an impressive comeback. It's estimated that total tablet sales will reach 118.9 million units in 2012, which is a 98% increase from 2011.The icing on the cake, however, is that by 2014 (if not sooner) it is predicted that mobile internet usage will surpass traditional internet usage. People are using their devices everywhere; reading reviews for products at the store, checking into locations, and of course, communicating with the people they know. Heck, over 80% of tablet owners use their tablets while watching television. We've slipped into the dawn of a new era as significant as the industrial revolution.Businesses are seeing this shift as well. More businesses are adopting and encouraging the use of mobile devices. Some businesses even offer smartphones and data plans as a perk for employees, and for good reason. Mobile devices such as high-end tablets are an attractive addition to your workforce's toolset. Businesses use mobile devices for checking email, sales support, presentations in the field, and remote work. Solutions like cloud-hosted desktop even gives employees access to all of their business-line applications and files right on their tablet or smartphone. This leads to a more productive mobilized workforce, which is becoming increasingly important.Has your business implemented tablets and other mobile devices into your day-to-day? Have any of your employees started to bring in their own tablets?

I watched my old habits die & it was painful
Sometimes it's painful in the light of the truth
But you kept me fast to the right
And I wanna thank you tonight
I ain't never had nobody like you
m. ward
A couple of days ago I was asked to compose an imaginary press release on a topic of my choosing. Criteria included: funny, creative, well-written. Don't know if they were looking for something quite this snarky, though.
BRITISH PETROLEUM CORPORATION TO UNVEIL IDENTITY OF INTERNATIONAL SABOTEUR BEHIND @BPGlobalPR
— Unprecedented Manhunt Identifies Twitter User Behind First Successful Communications Strategy in Company's History —
THE INTERNET (June 9, 2010) – BP Global (NYSE: BP) will announce the results of an international investigation into the identity of the saboteur behind @BPGlobalPR, alias Leroy Stick, at a press conference to be held tomorrow at 9am EDT aboard Carnival Cruises' Magic (The "Fun Ship") as it docks as far away from the Gulf of Mexico as possible. BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward, citing severe exhaustion and a desire to "have some fun already," will address the media for exactly 30 minutes.
Since May 19, 2010, some 239 messages attributed to the BP Public Relations team have been published via micro-blogging site Twitter, revealing trade secrets and confidential company stratagems, including plans for a morale-boosting staff outing to see the latest family blockbuster Marmaduke. "We have identified the source of the leak," said Hayward in a call with reporters this morning. "I can assure you that the individual will be both top and bottom killed before this is over with. We are through with this mudslinging!"
BP executives, determined to strike back at @BPGlobalPR for being funnier, smarter, and all-around better than the real thing, attempted to determine the author's identity through a variety of methods, but they all failed. Finally, Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles arrived at an ingenious plan: "We will buy the internet!" he declared.
"We are incredibly proud of the hard work, man hours, and billions of dollars we have dedicated to uncovering the truth behind @BPGlobalPR," said Hayward. "This is without a doubt the most important issue that currently threatens our organization."
Full details about the investigation will be outlined in Hayward's upcoming statement.

(Disclaimer: These are the notes from my New Media course at SCAD. Some may find these interesting, but this will be a backing up method for me and helping a sharing method with my classmates.)
New Media Sept. 12, 2011
Book: Understanding Media: the Extension of Man
Book: You Are Not A Gadget
Tim Jackson " Art Reveals and Art Transforms"
There is only meaning in context. In other words, the only time artwork has meaning is when a context is known.
Media Art consist of artwork that is utilizes recording, broadcasting, and/or distribution.
Media Art is not always New Media Art
Media Art : Art / Design / Technology / Ideas
McLunan's Wake : Documentary
Media is described as a vortex where you can either sink or swim. Also encompasses the idea to survive one must jump in the vortex. To survive media one must become a part of media to recognize the way out.
Art Enhances : The idea of everyday objects enhancing our bodies. Ex. A fork / knife. This idea also extends to language being used as a tool.
Every time we enhance our humanness we gain hubris. Ex. I have a lot of friends on Facebook therefore I am an important person.
With the advent of literacy we began to specialize. Due to human specialists we began to marginalize. The more we specialize the more we get compartmentalized. When we get compartmentalized we become protectionists. To obtain great art and/or have an enriching life we should use many disciplines despite out expertise.
Ancient Greek methodology of Language / Presentation / Logic
Trust the consensus of your senses.
Advertising, in the electric world, creates a false reality.
The Reverse Effect : The faster we physically move the less mobility we have. Ex. Walking vs Flying.
The more we travel the less we see. Ex. Business people who travel all the time but may only see the airport and a few hotels.
The more online friends we have the less we know of our connections. Ex. Having 3,000+ on Facebook and the stream going by so fast that you actually don't get to know anyone.
Television needs it's programming to be casual to function in our lives.

Interview with Casting Director Katrin Wesolowski
Katrin Wesolowski is one of Sweden's leading casting directors, working worldwide for some of the most respected brands in the fashion business. I first met her in Paris two years ago at the Valentino show casting, and found her way of meeting the models very respectful and down-to-earth, like an equal. She is special because she has an artist's eye - an extended perspective of creating an iconic image, collaborating with designers, photographers and stylists alike, to find a great ground where they can build, grow, and develop an overall vision, way beyond the surface.
Why did you choose to be a Casting Director?
Good question. I didn't really choose to become one, I just kind of ended up doing it. When I first started working, I was as a Stylist Assistant, and my dream as a teenager was to become a Stylist. But the more I worked in the business, the more I got in to the casting part. I was fascinated about the beauty of the models I was working with. I found it intriguing how different beauty could be for us. And I loved the part of searching the right character/personality for the different projects I was casting for. I then got in contact with my mentor, Patrizia Pilotti at La Mode en Images (one of the world's leading production companies in the fashion industry.) She asked if I could come work with her, and that was one of the happiest work moments of my life.
What's the most challenging part about casting?
I think it can be very challenging work, just as many other things. The competition in finding The Girl or The Boy for a designer can become a bit of a task, but so exciting! I am very lucky to have had learned from the school of Patrizia Pilotti, who is a very calm, generous, and loving person. She puts personality and humility first.
Why is your work so important for the fashion business?
For me, casting isn't just finding a pretty face. It's more about finding personalities, beauty that corresponds with the client and what they are looking to express at that particular moment. As a Casting Director, I get to know the girls and boys in a more personal way. I see their outer beauty but also their inner beauty. Many times, I've even seen them grow up from a child to an adult. I think that the outer beauty is a very important combination with the inner. A beautiful face should have a soul too, to be able to show the difference and become that Icon that we are all searching for.
How do you create an image?
I think that an image is the result of team work - the designer, the creative director, the photographer, the fashion stylist, the hair stylist, the makeup artist, the casting director and the model. Together they all collectively play very important roles in making the image.
What inspires you?
So many things inspire me: living, loving, seeing, music, films, history.
What do you believe is success? What's the key to success?
I think that success is something very personal. To achieve success, you have to be honest with your surroundings and yourself. Success isn't just having a lot of money, a big house and an expensive car. Success is when you can wake up and feel good about yourself, knowing you have love in your life.
What is beauty? And what does beauty mean to the world?
Beauty can be so many things! You can find beauty everywhere: people, animals, nature, but also inside your heart. Honesty is beauty, it's important to be true to yourself. It's something real - something that makes you all warm inside. Beauty is something that inspires. I think it's important for us to have beauty all around in order to feel happiness.
What is the most important attribute as a model?
I don't think that there is one most important attribute. It's more a combination of things. It's happened before where I didn't book a model because of a personality problem, even if she had such a pretty face. My interest in her disappeared and I didn't see the same beauty anymore. I'm looking for the perfect combination.
Is fashion passion, or a coincidence?
For me it's passion. I think you really need to love this business to be able to work within it. It can be a very tough industry, but it's the passion for it that keeps it always exciting.
Tell me about your most recent projects and what you have coming up?
This fashion show season, in Stockholm, I will be casting for Filippa K, Tiger of Sweden and The Local Firm. In Paris, I will do the casting direction for designers Nicolas Andreas Taralis, Sacai, Julien David, Calla and Gabrielle Greiss. And I also collaborate with Patrizia Pilotti on Valentino.
I've also been collaborating more and more with talented creative directors from Meri Media, who create projects in digital publishing & interactive fashion films for iPad applications, most recently for Gucci and Post. This is a new and growing form of media and really is one of the most exciting things in our industry today!
What would make you scream out loud of happiness?
Learning to surf!
What is your secret obsession?
Homemade Vanilla Ice cream!
Ph: Private.
Sc: Dorotheas blog.
Found this at Dorotheas blog and I thought it was very interesting so I thought I should share it with you guys! Enjoy.
Remember when I told you about the photoshoot I was planning and how I promised you the moodboard? Well, here you go. This time we'll go for a more classic, elegant, sophisticated, natural, male, modern and casual look with an amazing greyscale - one of the biggest trends for fall.
In the moment: Gucci bag + boho look
I love the new cage installation at the Alexander Wang store in New York. I had the opportunity to step by and say hello this summer!
Ph: alexanderwang.com
While searching for inspiration, I ended up looking at the file that contained these pictures from a photoshoot I did this summer that I totally forgot to tell you about! I was the photographer and the creative director, but also the stylist. I wanted to go for a vintage boho look with a very natural touch. Light, freedom, spirit, natural and classic were our main guidewords.
I've been talking to the model, Erika Torshed, about planning another shoot in the days. This time we'll go for a more classic, elegant, casual look - maybe in black & white mode? I'll post my moodboard later on.

As we had occasion to note over the last couple weeks following the deaths of George Steinbrenner and Ralph Houk, one hates to speak ill of the recently deceased. However, there is that danger that the last word on someone's life is the one that's going to define his legacy, and that's particularly ... More >>
Respect for the dead doesn't demand a revision of the historical record. I liked Ralph Houk, too, and was sad to hear of his passing last Wednesday. Yes, Houk was respected by the players that he managed, particularly Mickey Mantle (whom he made the Yankees captain, or at least their unoffici ... More >>
Lovingly borrowed from Yankees 2000 About the best thing you can say about the Yankees' Series victory is that it's been too long since the last one -- in which they defeated our beloved Mets -- for their fans to have achieved total douchebag status.

Robin Roberts has been a part of viewers' lives since joining Sportscenter in 1990 and Good Morning America in 1995—eventually rising to co-anchor and lead the show to some of its best ratings. She's often entertained, inspired, and informed, such as when she reported from the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina. Robin had the world rooting for her in a new way when she fought against breast cancer and, a couple of years later, a bone marrow disease. Having courageously battled against these hardships, Robin expressed her joy and gratitude in December 2013 for her health and support network, which included her girlfriend of ten years.
Remember when President Barack Obama endorsed marriage equality in an interview with Robin Roberts?
The Good Morning America segment about the endorsement is nominated for a GLAAD Media Award!

Huckleberry is an approved Medi-Cal provider site and offers subsidized and sliding scale fee services to clients based on availability and eligibility. Huckleberry's mental health team strives to provide effective, culturally relevant, evidence-based treatments that enable youth and families to create meaningful and lasting changes.
Huckleberry House Youth housed in the temporary shelter receive a wide range of mental health services, including assessment, individual, family, and group therapies. A dedicated therapist at the youth shelter provides family reunification services to all clients. Interventions are designed to address stabilization of runaway behavior, parental/adolescent conflict, physical/emotional abuse, depression, suicide, and substance abuse. Youth and their families often engage with a therapist during the shelter stay and elect to continue with short-term aftercare services or longer-term counseling through our Counseling Program. Family reunification has proven to be a very beneficial and highly utilized service. Our therapist focuses on resolving immediate family crises and works to develop a comprehensive plan of care that will address longer-term strategies for the family. Our diverse team of professionals can deliver culturally and linguistically competent services.
Huckleberry Community Assessment and Resource Center (CARC) Research shows that juvenile offenders have very high co-occurrence of mental health issues.
