text: March 31, 2006 Giovale has been a board member for 29 years SALT LAKE CITY - Westminster College announced today that Ginger Giovale, Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees for the past 18 years and member of the board for 29 years, has decided to retire from the board effective in June 2006. Giovale, a Flagstaff, Arizona resident has had a long personal and philanthropic relationship with Westminster. Giovale is a fourth generation alumni of Westminster College. She met her husband John at Westminster when they were both undergraduate students during the 1960s. Giovale's parents, Bill and Vieve Gore also met while attending Westminster during the 1930s and the Giovale's son Danny became the fourth generation in the Gore family to attend Westminster and he met his wife while attending the college. Under Giovale's leadership of the Board of Trustees, Westminster has recorded many remarkable accomplishments including the construction of five state-of-the-art new buildings. The face of the campus has changed through the addition of buildings like the Giovale Library, the residential village, Gore School of Business, Emma Eccles Jones Conservatory and Dolores Doré Eccles Health, Wellness, and Athletic Center. In announcing her retirement and reflecting on her years with the college, Giovale said, "I have learned so much and experienced a period in this history of the college that may be looked back upon as a rebirth, while staying true to our basic values. Westminster is continually reaching new levels of excellence. We have a strong president who is a visionary leader and a transformational strategic plan that sets out a path to a very bright future. I am proud to have been a part of this success story. It's been great fun!" Westminster College President Michael Bassis remarked, "Ginger has been a wonderful leader of our board and the college has benefited greatly from her continuous devotion to Westminster. While we wish she could serve forever, we understand her desire to focus on her family and other personal interests at this point in her life." Giovale and her husband recently gave Westminster the largest gift in the college's history - $10 million. The gift will go toward helping Westminster construct a new $30 million, 60,000-sqare-foot, state-of-the-art Science Center and endow a faculty chair in science. Giovale concluded, "This is a good time for me to retire from the board. Our board has many talented leaders ready to help Michael take Westminster to the next level. I will miss all my friends at Westminster. I plan to stay connected with the college in several ways, not least of which is seeing to the successful completion of the science center. You can be sure that my heart and support will always be here."

How do you tell your best friend he or she really doesn't sing that well, despite whatever strong beliefs he or she may have to the contrary? How do you tell your wife, husband, or partner that while you definitely appreciated the thought and the effort, he or she should take more care to put two cups of sugar, not salt, into the cookie batter next time? How do you tell the people in your home country they need to extract their heads from their collective asses and get their shit together? I'll be honest on the first two: hell if I know. The last one, however, is a much easier conversation to provoke. Simply remind America using cold, hard facts that this self-perpetuating mythos that its the greatest thing to ever happen to humanity amounts to little more than a national circle-jerk. Actually, it's even worse than that: we're talking about a massive sausage party consisting of old, balding, obese men who've long since passed their primes repeatedly telling each other they're still God's gift to women and, since it's so often repeated, actually believe it. That's really sad, folks.

I wrote my first story when I was six years old. Except, that may be a lie. It's possible that I wrote something before, but I can't remember and, if I did, the lack of either a physical or mental record of its existence means that, for all practical purposes, it never existed. That's incredibly humbling, is it not? Think of the vast multitudes of people who've lived, learned, loved, built, discovered, wept, rejoiced, and died about whom no memory remains. People often forget that history is the story of people, and not just of the neurotic, sociopathic, and idiosyncratic figures who sit enthroned in the human memory of history with a disproportionate amount of the credit for shaping its direction. In some small way, I can understand a little why some people invest so much time into achieving things to warrant people remembering them beyond death. In some cultures, more than one concept of death exists, with the final being, for some, the saddest of all: the moment when no one remains to remember you. Continue reading

I grew up in a cedar thicket. Apparently, that's hilarious–or maybe it's just hilarious when I say it. IDK. I guess you'll just have to ask David and Colleen to be sure. (Inside jokes, FTW.) But, yes, it's true. I did grow up in a cedar thicket, or something like that. In any case, there were a lot of cedar trees around. OH MY GOD I AM TALKING SO MUCH ABOUT CEDAR TREES. Moving on now, all that to point out that I don't have any allergies. Cedar trees are notoriously profligate in their shedding of pollen and if I can survive being hemmed in by a Hell's Horde of them, then, well, I'm fairly confident I can inhale just about any form of pollen imaginable and not degenerate into an inflamed sinus. +15 Bad-ass Points. Every Spring, whenever I hear someone talk about how terrible their allergies are, I'm secretly elated that I managed to escape that common misfortune (knock on wood). Continue reading

More than $5,100 has been distributed to victims of June's Little Bear Fire. The Community Foundation of Lincoln County obtained the funds from the Viva Ruidoso Disaster Relief Fund. The fund was established in September 2008 following the Hurricane Dolly Flood to provide health and human services during times of need in Lincoln County.
The disaster relief fund was established with a long-term goal, after assisting in the recovery from the July 2008 flood, to have the fund grow to create an endowment where the principal remained untouched and invested at the highest possible rates, while leaving the interest income to be used for any and all future Lincoln County disasters. The advisors to the fund decided to distribute the fund in its entirety because the Little Bear Fire proved to be extremely difficult for many families who lost their homes.
The Community Foundation of Lincoln County continues to serve as a type of United Way for Lincoln County. Its vision is to recognize its donors through the award of grants, which have the potential to make significant impact on and enrich the quality of life in Lincoln County communities. There is a constant focus to build a Legacy Fund of $1 million in order to grant the income each year to worthy non-profit 501c organizations. For more information please see www.cfolc.org and contact any director. The group meets monthly at ENMU-Ruidoso.

Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung

Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (often abbreviated to DAZ) was a German newspaper that appeared between 1861 and 1945.
Until 1918 the title of the paper was Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. Although Wilhelm Liebknecht, one of the founders of SPD and close associate of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, was member of the founding editorial board in 1861, the paper became soon a conservative flagship of the German press ("Bismarcks Hauspostille"). At the end of the First World War, the name was changed to "Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung", under the intention to form a conservative yet democratic equivalent to the London "Times" in Germany and give the Reich a more democratic image. Various liberal and conservative writers worked for DAZ at that time, Otto Flake was head of the Cultural Section ( called "Feuilleton" in German newspapers ), people like the historian Egmont Zechlin and the German-Turkish journalist Dr. Friedrich Schrader worked for the paper.
Hugo Stinnes took over the DAZ in 1920 in an effort to secure industrialist influence. Stinnes invested in the newspaper, and it enjoyed a short period of financial success. The DAZ became increasingly conservative. Paul Lensch, a former left-wing Social Democrat associated with Rosa Luxemburg, later during the war part of the right wing "Lensch-Cunow-Haenisch-Gruppe" within the SPD (itself associated with and financed by the German-Russian-Jewish socialist revolutionary Alexander Parvus), became foreign policy editor, and later editor in chief of DAZ, which he edited until his death in 1926.
After the death of Lensch, until when the paper was a conservative supporter of the Weimar coalition (Stinnes was associated with Gustav Stresemann and his DVP), the paper became, like the DVP itself, incleasingly right wing and closer to the Hugenberg press and anti-democratic right-wing circles.
After Stinnes' (and Lensch's) death, the Prussian government secretly bought the DAZ in 1925. Less than a year later, the Reich government took it over, but it was sold again when the affair came to light.[1]
By 1930, the DAZ had declined and was suffering heavy losses.[1]

The Netherlands may house only a handful of local hedge funds, but makes up for it with investor heavyweights such as ABP, PGGM and Mn Services
The Netherlands is something of contradiction when it comes to hedge funds. While some of the country's most well-known institutional investors have been piling into these strategies for some years now, only a few domestic hedge fund managers exist at the moment.
Neils Oostenbrug, Dennis van Ek
Although the domestic hedge fund landscape could change in the near future, right now it is strangely under represented when it comes to home-grown hedge fund managers. "We have the ingredients, but no cake," says Frits Fiene, founder of WorldView, one of the few domestic hedge fund players in the Netherlands.
According to the EuroHedge Directory, only 33 hedge fund products, run by 19 management companies, are based in the Netherlands, managing some $10...

Award is also a first time honor for the San Diego region.
La Jolla, CA: November 1, 2011
Bird Rock Coffee Roasters in La Jolla, CA won the 2012 Micro Roaster of the Year award in the annual national competition hosted by a panel of experts and two separate coffee labs administrated by the coffee trade magazine, Roast Magazine. This is the first time that Bird Rock Coffee Roasters has achieved this award, and the first time any roaster in the San Diego region has won this prestigious award.
The award was developed to inspire further excellence and success in the roasting industry. Winners are chosen based on the company's commitment to categories including sustainable practices, commitment to employees and educational practices, innovations in roasting, and of course, the excellence of the coffee.
In terms of quality and taste, coffees are judged blindly by two separate labs, Lab International in Vermont, and Atlas Coffee Importers in Seattle. Experts judge the coffee on aroma, color, imperfections, bean size and flavor profile. One notable coffee varietal that secured the award for Bird Rock Coffee Roasters was the Sumatra Lake Tawar. Unlike most coffee from that area, this varietal has been meticulously processed at origin. This unique effort produces a coffee that is intense, earthy yet clean, full-bodied and dense, and slightly sweet.
"Many roasters are sourcing directly from farmers and enhancing the coffee experience for their customers, elevating the experience to that of a high end wine bar…so to be recognized as the best, at a time when so many are doing incredible work, is a humbling honor," says Chuck Patton, owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. "We were competing against roasters from all over the nation and to be located in San Diego, which has never been known for its coffee like Seattle or Portland, is an added bonus."
Bird Rock Coffee Roasters has consistently achieved 90+ scores (out of a scale of 100) from Coffee Review for many of their roasted varietals, but this is the first time it has outperformed national competitors based on several categories.

About Bird Rock Coffee Roasters
In 2002, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters (BRCR) opened for business as a strictly grass-roots company. Coffee was roasted in a sublet restaurant kitchen using small one-pound capacity air roasters. At that time, BRCR coffee was sold at farmer's markets and through home-delivery service. In 2006 the retail shop on La Jolla Boulevard in Bird Rock was opened directly across the street from a Starbucks. In 2008 BRCR expanded their retail location to increase seating, free wireless connection and a children's play area. They also offer free coffee 'cupping' experiences and live music on weekends. Awards and recognition of BRCR to date include: 2012 Micro Roaster of the Year as well as 16 highly rated coffees in Coffee Review scoring 90 and above (out of a 100 point scale). Locally, in San Diego, BRCR won Best Organic Coffee in 2008 San Diego Magazine and was rated Best Coffee Shop in 2010 in the La Jolla Light.
About Chuck Patton
Chuck Patton, owner and principle roaster of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, describes his relationship with coffee beans as equal parts passion and obsession. Chuck started roasting in 2001 with a DIY home coffee roaster, a fateful gift from his wife, Elke. He quickly expanded his vision and became the first licensed wholesaler in San Diego selling 100% organic and fair trade coffee.
Chuck is a former community college English teacher (in San Diego, he taught at Grossmont and San Diego City Colleges), loves acoustic blues from the 20's and 30's. He acts humble, but plays a mean slide guitar. His involvement with the local community extends from helping improve traffic, aesthetics, business practices to non-profit fundraising in Bird Rock and other organizations in San Diego, Ca. In his spare time he loves to body surf, drink great beer and perfect the art of pork-smoking. He lives in La Jolla with his wife, Elke and their Australian Shepherd, Rosco.

Sometimes a few small changes can have an unexpectedly big impact.
Chuck Patton learned just how big the first time he cleaned the burners on his Probat L12, which he had recently purchased from another roaster who was exiting the business. "It was my first experience with a bigger roaster, and I didn't know what I was doing," Patton explains. "I basically did what the guy before me was doing, and his only variable between the beans he was using was time."
Cleaning the burners did more than just increase efficiency, however. "At first I thought I had broken something, because all of a sudden I was working with a bonfire using the same settings we'd used before," he said. "A 15-minute roast was now a 7-minute roast. It really forced us to think about how we were roasting the coffee. In retrospect, it was the best thing we ever did because we basically had to start from scratch and deconstruct our approach.
"Everything we do now is grounded in that one event," Patton adds. "And it led us to treat each coffee we roast as one of a kind."
Only a few years removed from this roasting epiphany, Patton's Bird Rock Coffee Roasters has quickly evolved from a novice operation to one of the most respected artisan roasters in the San Diego region. Roast's Micro Roaster of the Year, Bird Rock maintains a small wholesale business with roughly 20 customers, and puts the rest of its energy into a thriving retail cafe that serves two varietals per day at the main bar plus a decaf, along with four coffees at a small brew bar to the side (using Hario V60s and Chemex).
Bird Rock may be small, but it's earning plenty of acclaim. "Chuck's definitely pioneered several different coffee concepts in our region," says Karen Cebreros, one of Patton's earliest green coffee suppliers at Elan Organic Coffees who now works for the Germany-based Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung Foundation. "He was the first guy out of the box to really do some direct trade at the micro level. … He's heavily involved in the community. He's crazy over flavor profiles, cup quality and cupping. He just has genuine coffee passion."
A Crash Course in Roasting
A former community college teacher, Patton's introduction to coffee roasting was gradual. He started with a small home coffee roaster—a gift from his wife Elke—and green beans from Sweet Maria's. His enthusiasm for the roasting process led to the purchase of a 1-pound air roaster, which he set up in the kitchen of a nearby Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) building. Monday through Friday, Patton would teach at the community college, selling his coffee at local farmers' markets on weekends.
Eventually Patton moved from the VFW to a kiosk, where he started roasting on a Diedrich IR-3 drum roaster. "I was pretty much self-taught the whole way," Patton says. "I got a lot of information from Sweet Maria's, but mostly it was a lot of trial and error. … When I moved up from the air roaster to the IR-3, I basically roasted using info from the owner's manual."
Patton bought the L12 upon deciding to become a full-fledged roaster, taking over the seller's Miramar-based business and wholesale accounts in the process. He worked in Miramar for the next year before setting up shop in his current location in Bird Rock in 2006.
Patton's experience provides a blueprint on how an enthusiastic, quality-oriented roaster can succeed in a location with a fledgling coffee culture. With roughly 1,000 homes oriented around main drag La Jolla Boulevard, the city of Bird Rock has never been a retail hot spot. Patton says many in the region used to regard Bird Rock solely as a pass-through between popular beach communities La Jolla and Pacific Beach, although that perception started to change once the city implemented a traffic calming plan a few years back. Now the boulevard features several boutiques, restaurants, and other businesses, but it's still not ideal for retail, says Patton.
The one thing the boulevard did have was a Starbucks, a fact that Patton exploited when deciding where to open. He opened his store directly across the street, believing the quality of his coffee and his community engagement would stand out. "Everybody thought he was crazy in our little neighborhood," says Cebreros. "But I stopped by Bird Rock the other day, and the place was crawling. It's supposed to be a secret that no one knows about, but you couldn't get a seat and there was a huge line out the door.
And there wasn't a soul in Starbucks." "It wasn't like we opened from scratch," Patton clarifies, noting that he was active in the Bird Rock community council and had been delivering coffee to people's homes as part of his wholesale business. Still, he took an active role in promoting the business to walk-in customers, roasting the coffee on site and explaining to every customer who walked in what he was trying to do. "We were hoping they would taste the difference in the cup and then start coming back and trying different coffees," he says. "It was really building the business on an educational, one-to-one level." The company reinforces this effort through weekly public cuppings and roastery tours, in addition to holding special events.
Patton has also been active in trying to bring the San Diego coffee community closer together. Inspired by the San Diego Brewer's Guild—an organization that promotes the local craft beer scene—Patton organized the SoCal Barista Pour-Over Challenge during San Diego's 2011 Coffee Fest, bringing together eight Southern California roasters and 14 baristas from several cafes to engage in a friendly competition. Each team consisted of two randomly selected baristas, who were given one randomly chosen coffee and one of four randomly chosen brew methods: Clever, Chemex, Hario V60 and Aeropress. The teams then had 10 minutes to discuss strategy (such as dose and grind) and present the judging panel with a single brewed serving.
The event was given extra gravitas through the presence of Martin Diedrich, who agreed to serve as a judge. (Diedrich's Kean Coffee in Newport Beach served as a major stylistic influence for Bird Rock's retail store.) Patton is in discussions with La Marzocco USA to hold similar events in the future, with the goal of creating a closer-knit roasting community.
Patton also believes in challenging his own assumptions as a roaster. He initiated a friendly competition between himself, Kansas's PT's Coffee Roasting, and Klatch Coffee from San Dimas, Calif., the latter two Roaster of the Year winners themselves. The roasters submitted roasted samples of a single green coffee to Ken Davids at Coffee Review for evaluation and to each other for tasting (Klatch won with a 93 score, versus 92 scores for PT's and Bird Rock).
"It really opened up a feeling of experimentation for us," Patton says. "It just kind of gets you to think about what you're doing. And when you see someone else doing something different with the same coffee, it gets you to question in a good way what you're doing. Maybe I should try a shorter roast or a longer roast, or maybe I should make that adjustment a little earlier.
"It's easy when you run a business to just start doing the same thing over and over again, because you have so many other things to worry about. But when you give yourself a little wakeup call—hey, there's something else we could be doing here—it's healthy."
Bird Rock gave itself another wakeup call earlier in the year when it transitioned from its Probat L12 to a Giesen roaster, requiring Patton to once again reevaluate his roast profiles. "The Giesen offers a lot more controllability," says Patton. "We can change the airflow and drum speed, and the cooling times are quicker—about four to five minutes.
"It's really the fun thing for me about roasting," he adds. "Trying one thing, tasting it, trying something different in the next roast, tasting it. I've found it's the best way for me to learn."
Sustainability and Direct Trade on a Micro Level
It's not easy for a small roaster to start a direct-trade program, but Patton wasn't deterred. When he opened the business, Patton focused exclusively on organic coffees, hoping to demonstrate to consumers that organic coffees can be as good as, or better than, conventionally grown coffees. Over time, however, he came to believe that he was missing out on lots of great coffees, so he expanded his scope (organics now make up roughly 50 percent of his coffees).
He moved into direct trade in 2008, upon a visit to Colombia for his first sourcing trip. "I worked with Virmax, who at the time was promoting a direct-trade program with farmers all over Colombia," Patton explains. "That's when I started to move toward buying from small independent farmers who weren't necessarily certified, but that weren't using weed killers or perhaps were using fertilizer but not pesticides."
From there, Patton has cultivated friendly relationships with importers and exporters who are willing to set aside small quantities of coffee for him. "We aren't big enough to do it 100 percent ourselves," Patton says. "The key for us has been establishing relationships with people who can help us facilitate relationships with farmers or groups of farmers."
Cebreros says Patton's diligence has paid off. "Chuck somehow figured out how to get five bags of the best," she says. "Direct trade at a micro level is a challenge for us greenies. We're always saying, 'You're killing us with this stuff.' But he figured out how to do it." Since 2008, Bird Rock has forged sustainable direct-trade relationships with farmers in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia.
As a fair-trade supporter, Bird Rock is also looking at ways to support fair-trade co-ops while adding quality incentives outside the Fair Trade USA system. The roaster is currently contracting with a fair-trade co-op in Nicaragua to separate out lots of coffee that cup particularly well. Bird Rock pays the co-op and farmer a higher rate to separate the lots, and then pays a perpound bonus to the farmer based on how well the coffee scores once it arrives at the roastery. "For example, if the coffee scores an 87, we pay an extra 10 cents a pound," Patton explains. "If it scores 88, we pay 20 cents. If it receives an 89 or 90, we pay a 25-cent bonus."
Patton says his goal is to add a quality incentive to the fair-trade system while giving farmers additional capital for infrastructure improvements.
Although forging sustainable relationships with farmers is the centerpiece of his sustainability efforts, Patton is every bit as enthusiastic about supporting local and global initiatives away from coffee. Patton acted as a liaison with the city while it was building the $2 million traffic calming project, while also advocating for such local causes and organizations as the MS Walk, the UC San Diego John Moores Cancer Fund, and To Live and Let Live, a local nonprofit for recovering alcoholics in La Jolla's LGBT community. Since 2009, Bird Rock has supported Beyond the Surface, an international nonprofit that helps empower homeless children in Peru, India and South Africa through surfing, and Change the Truth, an orphanage in Uganda that offers educational opportunities for children.
Within the business, Bird Rock uses a GEM electric vehicle to provide emissions-free wholesale deliveries. In early 2011, the company installed a more efficient roaster and afterburner that cut its gas consumption by nearly 15 percent per month while increasing its per-batch capacity. Even small moves have made a big difference, such as installing a hose sprayer in the Bird Rock sink to cut water waste while washing dishes.
Next Steps
Customers often ask Patton about his plans for expanding the business. For Patton, the question isn't about growth, but about how to ensure that his coffee quality is always high, whether customers buy coffee from wholesale accounts, over the Internet or at a new cafe.
"My whole philosophy has been to constantly push to evolve and improve bean quality, from source to cup. And part of that focus is customer education," says Patton. "Expanding our footprint in San Diego will require a new paradigm."

Man Seeking Coffee :: December 13, 2010
Bird Rock is a local roaster, which has all the trappings of a top notch cafe. They own a La Marzocco GB/5, offer multiple coffees with brew to order options on a V60 pour over bar, serve only freshly roasted coffee, have several high marks from Coffee Review, and appear to be sourcing some pretty good green coffee.
FOX5 San Diego :: June 7, 2010
"Beyond The Surface," a non-profit organization since 2009 was created by Koch to raise money to fund programs that help homeless and underprivileged kids in Peru, South Africa and India – countries that host surfing competitions, but then are forgotten by the surfers.
"There are 17 million surfers and we're in this $7.2 billion industry. There is something we have to do for these kids that we meet in these contests," she said.
Koch realized she needed money to help the kids with items besides boards, such as towels and coffee. She convinced the owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters to donate one dollar for every pound of coffee sold under the "Beyond the Surface" label.
"She came to us with this project and it was a perfect fit," said Chuck Patton, owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. "We buy coffee from Peru, Africa and India, and this is the hub of surf culture in San Diego, so it was nothing to think about other than yeah, sounds great."

Bird Rock Coffee Roasters along La Jolla Boulevard has become a source of pride in the community as Bird Rock's poster child for a local, successful business. It has also become a social hub for neighbors.
Owner Chuck Patton has carved a niche in the market across the street from Starbucks Coffee. Patton describes the success of his business as an "organic" process that evolved step-by-step into its popularity today.
"I didn't get the idea to be in the business and then build a café the next day," Patton said.

Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is taking specialty coffee to a whole new level.
The cornerstone Bird Rock merchant is one of a dozen coffee roasters nationwide participating in the Las Mingas Project, which rewards indigenous coffee growers for exemplary work. Through this project, farmers, in such places as Colombia, and specialty roasters establish mutually beneficial sustainable relationships.
"It's about helping farmers improve the quality of their crop and then paying them transparently," said Chuck Patton, owner of the independent, home-grown La Jolla business. "There's a really open paper trail. I can follow my dollar from La Jolla to Colombia."
Coffee Talk :: March 2009
Bird Rock is not just any old San Diego community on the perpetually sunny Southern California coast. It is a hip surfer haven(dating from the 1930′s) minutes away from downtown La Jolla. Here in Bird Rock, friends and neighbors know each other by first names- and maybe even their grandfather's first names. It is a tightly knit local community in the truest sense of the word. Chuck Patton, owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters should know. He's been around here all of his life- growing up in nearby Pacific Beach, ditching high school first periods to get buzzed on coffee in greasy spoons before returning to classes! After college in San Francisco, Patton returned to teach at San Diego City College until the siren call of coffee claimed him for good. He has been roasting coffee ever since his wife bought him a home roaster, finally going pro in 2002.
For San Diego's small-batch coffee roasters, producing perfect cup of joe is an obsession
By Peter Rowe2 a.m.Feb. 25, 2009
While visiting Costa Rica's cloud forest region, Joe Behm was offered a cup of newly harvested, freshly roasted coffee.
He may never recover.
"It was staggering," he said, "absolutely mind-blowing how good it was."
At first, Behm tried managing his new addiction, bringing home to Del Cerro only a modest 15-pound bag. But when his stash ran out, his need did not. He abandoned his career in semiconductors to focus on an all-consuming desire to get his fix.
"I walked away from a nice six-figure job to where I could barely pay the mortgage," he said.
That was 12 years and one retirement fund ago. Behm is still in thrall to freshly roasted coffee, but today his obsession is paying off. He plowed $800,000 into sketches, models and finally a product: a personal coffee roaster that can turn out 1-pound batches while sitting on your kitchen countertop.
Introduced in November 2007, the Behmor 1600 won the Specialty Coffee Association of America's award for best new product. To date, Behm has sold almost 5,000 units. Average price: $300.
His market? Nearly everyone.
About 82 percent of Americans drink this stuff, estimates the National Coffee Association of U.S.A. Other surveys put the figure closer to 50 percent, but there's no question the U.S. slurps more coffee than any other nation, draining 146 billion cups a year.
If most people drink coffee, only a handful drink, eat and sleep java. Local coffee roasters have taken a relaxed morning ritual and turned it into a full-time job and lifetime obsession. They roam Central America, Africa and Indonesia, buying direct from farmers and co-ops. They fire up antique roasters capable of hitting 1,300 degrees. And they obey their own quirky set of coffee commandments.
"It's such a subjective business," admitted Jesse Fox at North Park's Caffe Calabria. "Everybody's got a different formula, a different way of roasting."
The experts, though, are unanimous about the brew most Americans drink.
Do you buy supermarket beans?
Frappuccinos from "Charbucks?"
Canned coffee?
If so, the experts have one word for you: iccck.
"One hundred thirty million people drink coffee every day in the United States," Behm said. "If they knew what they were drinking, they'd have a coronary."
Lizard Latte
Torrey Lee was born into the business. Perhaps that's why he tried to flee it.
Lee's stepfather, Bob Sinclair, founded the original Pannikin in 1968. Lee remembers the La Jolla establishment dumping green coffee beans into a peanut roaster: "It was smoky and dirty."
As a high school student, Lee worked his way from dishwasher to barista to assistant manager. When it came time to choose a college, he went away – far away – to the University of Alaska.
Lee escaped from La Jolla, but not his destiny. To make ends meet as an undergrad, he worked in a Fairbanks coffee house. He eventually returned to Southern California and the Pannikin. In 1998, he and his wife, Kimberly, bought the chain's coffee roasting division, Cafe Moto.
Moto – the name comes from the family's passion for motorcycles – is one of the county's largest roasters, turning out 8,000 to 10,000 pounds a week. Its natural gas-fired roaster, a Jabez Burns Jubilee, is a 60-year-old workhorse capable of toasting 264-pound batches. Each requires 11 to 20 minutes in the roaster, depending on the coffee's darkness, and another two or three minutes to cool.
San Diego is no Seattle, and the economy, here as across the nation, is colder than iced mocha. But Lee doesn't see any decline in his business, which focuses on selling to restaurants, coffeehouses and markets.
"We still have new clients coming in," he said.
Demand is also up at Caffe Calabria, where the 1956 roaster handles 6,000 pounds a week.
That figure is pre-roast. The heat sucks moisture from the green beans, which lose up to 20 percent of their weight. Shrinkage continues after the beans cool, when they pass through the "de-stoner" pan, where staffers pluck out debris that was packed in the raw beans' burlap sacks.
Caffe Calabria has found stones, nails, wires, a light bulb's metal base. Once they found a cell phone. Everyone plucks out shriveled or rotten beans, and brass shell casings are common. At La Jolla's Bird Rock Roasters, proprietor Chuck Patton once fished from his de-stoner one well-done reptile. Lizard Latte, anyone?
These are all "defects," and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allows a certain amount of flaws in unprocessed coffee. The specialty-grade coffee turned out by local roasters has to meet a higher standard, but not every retailer is so conscientious.
"The stuff in the grocery bins is six months old!" insisted home-roast apostle Behm. "People don't know what they are getting!"
Woozy aroma
People do, though, have strong opinions about their coffee. They favor one brand – or roast, or coffee filter, or coffee maker – over another. They seek and they find.
Usually. In 1991, Arne Holt left Seattle for San Diego. He loved the local climate, loved the local lifestyle, hated the local brew.
"I tried to find a good latte. Nonexistent."
Holt's uncle built a coffee cart that became a fixture at Grossmont Hospital. There, and now as Caffe Calabria's owner, Holt could produce coffees that meet his criteria.
But a great cup is as personal, and as tough to define, as a great kiss. Your mouth recognizes it, certainly, but can words capture this transcendent experience?
Maybe. Just don't use "cream" or "sugar."
When customers add anything to a fine coffee, roasters cringe like winemakers witnessing some schlub dropping ice cubes into an award-winning cabernet.
"People are used to drinking bad coffee," said Patton, the former English teacher who runs Bird Rock Roasters. "They add the cream and sugar to cover that up."
For a "cupping," a tasting that Bird Rock hosts every Friday at 10:30 a.m., Patton poured three small cups – Misty Valley from Ethiopia, smelling sweet and berryish; La Plata from Colombia, full-bodied and classic; and Blue Batah from Sumatra. Blue Batah's earthy, herbal notes may be familiar if you grew up on a commune or have attended the right sort of concerts.
"One customer wouldn't buy it again," Patton said. "People smelled the coffee and thought he was lighting up a joint."
Outside of the caffeine jolt, though, there's nothing intoxicating about Blue Batah. But Patton insisted that high-quality coffee is best tasted straight.
Stir in some cream, drop in one lump or two? "I would be missing out on what these coffees have to offer," he said.
Ah, but what's on offer? An expensive and consuming madness, or so it seems when you start shopping for $36-a-pound Honduran coffee, $200 German grinders and $300 home roasting units.
Do you want shade-grown organic espresso? Fair Trade Italian roast? Single-source Colombian from a farmer who, thanks to an honorable contract with a San Diego roaster, is finally able to escape from debt?
Good questions, worth considering. But even someone as coffee-crazed as Joe Behm prefers that such factors don't obscure the bottom line.
"How's this taste to you?" he asked. "That's the rule of thumb."

First off, no, I'm not expecting (sorry to disappoint) but when we do start a family, these cute diaper bags are definitely going to be on my wish list.
And if you're like me and would want to coordinate your diaper bag with the best season of all - Christmas, you could use this one. :D Maybe I do want a winter baby... haha.
But then again, perhaps brighter, spring colors are more your taste. Ugh, so many choices, do you think "the hubs" would let me buy them ALL?
Or if you prefer something besides the quilted, ragged-edge look... THIS is right up your alley.
Alrighty, I hope you enjoyed the first edition of Team feature Tuesday. Check back next Tuesday as I feature a seller from my other team - TeamCAC (Team Christian Artists and Crafters).

Hello , i looking for a good outdoor water filter for my linked house which should be value for the money, please share your experience and suggestions. Thank you.
Hello , i looking for a good outdoor water filter for my linked house which should be value for the money, please share your experience and suggestions. Thank you.
It depends on one MAJOR factor:
1) Are you the lazy type ? If not, then the normal sediment filter cartdrige (outdoor type) should suffice but you need to physically change them once a week or two - cheapest option - cost around RM100 per year. (this is my option) Furthermore, I prefer this option as when it gets DIRTY, I can SEE it !!!
2) Rocket type - RM2,000+ (top of the range BACFREE - RM3-4K - I know coz I have checked !! ) ... (warranty around 5 years) - I made a comparsion against no. 1, it will take about 15 years (inflation adjusted) for you to recoup assuming NO REPAIR and DAMAGES over that duration ... suitable for lazy type, just turn a valve once a week for back-wash and can reuse the dirty water for gardening .... to remove accumulated sediments.
BOTTOMLINE - you still have to do SOMETHING ONCE A WEEK OR TWO .... either physically change the filter cartdrige or back-wash ....
FORGET about all those over-scare stories about chlorine levels etc .... you need them in the water to kill the bugs. The ppm (parts per million) is safe for consumption. What you DON'T NEED are the DIRT and RUST PARTICULATES which can be fully removed by normal 5 microns and below filter ....
Everyday is a good day for GOOD FOOD and a GOOD LAUGH
I like the Bacfree one, trusted performance.
Am using now, convenient to get, 2 offices in Subang
Service= not bad
they give you a full flush out on first installation
downside - pretty costly
I find the normal sediment filter type useless (use it before). The moment you change it, it's all brown straight away. Not only that, have gotten my white clothes turn brown a couple of times and I gave up on that filter.
Now I use Euroflex. It's convenient and useful. Comes with a timer that does the backwash automatically. So no need to "do something each week" There are occassions when there is no water, and when the sudden flow comes in... it comes together with tons of dirt and sediment, then I just have to press a button to do a manual backwash.
A wise man refrains from talking but a fool utters rubbish.
Hahaha ... OF COURSE, that goes to show how filthy SYBAS piping and distribution system is ... the thing with normal filter cartridge is that the dirt will accummulate on the outer layer first and then slowly works its way to the core ... so you need to know when the core gets dirty, then time to change ... from my experience, if I buy good, compact 5 microns ones, it takes approximately 10-12 days before the core gets brown, so to be safe, I change every 7 days .... part of my weekend chore lor ....
Everyday is a good day for GOOD FOOD and a GOOD LAUGH
What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple.
Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter.
- Peter F. Drucker
You can try some other brand such as Waterco ... Cost around RM 1500 with installation ... I know this because mine is this brand ... not too bad quality ....Warranty : 5 years from the manufacturer ...
Don't trust them if the retailer is giving the warranty
I having a Waterco filter, perhaps the 1st generation, removed from my old house and DIY install to current home. Biggest model, but it works nicely.
Its a superb product, only thing is the valve does wear out after some years and leak. Internal spares are not exactly available here and expected to replace the whole complete valve assembly. Thats a few hundred a pop depending on the mounting flange. Mine happen to be the more pricy one, sigh. Lucky can periodic DIY dismantle and check its integrity, service it to some extent.
Other than that, maintenance and periodic change of sand. It serves the purpose and cleaner water to your tank and pipes. NOTE! this doesn't prevent your GI pipes from rusting, internal corrosion and eventual blockage. It just removes major sediment from the incoming water, thats all.

Federal Court Doesn't Quite Recognize Copyright in C&D Letter
Techdirt has a post on a rather triumphal press release put out by a law firm claiming that "[t]he US District Court for the District of Idaho has found that copyright law protects a lawyer demand letter posted online by the recipient." That's one way of interpreting the judge's ruling, but I don't think it's the right way.
Here's what happened. An anonymous poster ("Tom Paine") said some things on a message board that a company called Melaleuca didn't like. Melaleuca's lawyers sent a letter to the message board's administrators asking them to take down the posts to which they objected. Then, a second anonymous poster ("d2″) posted Melaleuca's cease-and-desist letter to the message board.
Melaleuca wanted to know Tom Paine's identity so that they could take some action against him. But bringing a John Doe lawsuit would be expensive and time-consuming. Then Melaleuca had a clever idea: because section 512 of the Copyright Act allows pre-litigation subpoenas to uncover the identities of anonymous online copyright infringers, they could get Tom Paine's identity by (1) accusing d2 of infringing the copyright in their cease and desist letter, then (2) claiming that d2 and Tom Paine were the same person.
Well, it almost, sort of worked.
They were successful in getting d2′s identity, because the court found the test for issuance of a section 512 subpoena to be a lenient one: If the Copyright Office issues a registration, the court found, that's all the copyrightability analysis a court must undertake in order to enforce a pre-litigation subpoena under section 512. The court did not say that the C&D letter was copyrightable, or that posting it was not fair use. Instead, the court merely said that Melaleuca had met the low bar of showing a prima facie case of infringement. As the court put it:
[T]he Court will not go into an in-depth analysis of the merits of a copyright infringement claim in determining whether to quash this subpoena. It is sufficient in this instance that Melaleuca has registered the Sheppard Letter with the Copyright Office.
Unlike the Patent and Trademark Office, the Copyright Office (for various very good reasons) does not perform an in-depth examination of each registration. As the lawyer who put out the press release notes, "a US copyright registration is usually 'rubber stamped' and obtained on an expedited basis in about five business days." Close cases, such as an attempt to register a virtually purely functional work such as a legal demand letter, usually result in the issuance of a registration, the validity of which is later contested in court. The district court in this case decided that the validity of the copyright should be determined after the plaintiffs actually filed their lawsuit for copyright infringement. It did not, as the press release implies, make a conclusive determination of copyrightability.
Melaleuca was thwarted in its ultimate goal of unmasking "Tom Paine." The court found that Melaleuca had presented insufficient evidence that "d2″ and "Tom Paine" were one and the same, and quashed that portion of the subpoena which sought Tom Paine's identity. (The edited version of the decision on the web site of the lawyer who put out the press release conveniently leaves that part out, but it makes up a substantial part of the court's decision, which is available here.)

Comment by mind — January 27, 2008 @ 10:03 am
Yeah, OK, but the decision is still way off the mark for what it doesn't do, namely to dismiss the motion as egregious. It's clearly egregious and it should have been thrown out of court.
The court doesn't wish to do an "analysis of the merits of a copyright infringement claim" despite that its ruling clearly requires this analysis. It shouldn't hand a 'win' to the prosecution on account of administrative convenience, or because it has no confidence in its ability to handle the question. Courts are meant to settle disputes, not puss out and prolong them to the point that merely entering discussion becomes victory for the litigious.

Thank you for the analysis. Rulings are often misinterpreted through laziness in reading them, lack of understanding law, or intentional FUD. This seems to be a good example of the FUD case. Thank you for putting in the time to do the research.

This article does not reflect a good knowledge of copyright law.
A letter is copyrighted. Every letter. One you write. One I write. One an attorney writes. It is copyrighted the instant it is written. While registering copyrighted works has benifits, one does not need to register it with the copyright office for it to be copyrighted. It is copyrighted when produced. So, the claim that the letter is copyrighted is true.
Because it is copyrighted, however, does not mean that the recipient may not tell others about it, as has been claimed. It simply means that the recipient may not copy it and distribute it except under circumstances that are considered fair use.
This is actually a controversy without a basis.

Doesn't this mean that you could simply copyright any anonymous post you wanted, and subpoena for the identity of the poster?
Comment by Shii — January 27, 2008 @ 9:17 pm
Well-written article here and on techdirt.
One clarification: the Dozier article (and consequently, articles by slashdot and techdirt) make it sound like Dozier had a hand in this stuff. He didn't. Frankly, until Friday, I'd never heard of the guy.
Left unspoken in this context is that 'Tom Paine' authored the initial article that provoked Melaleuca chief counsel Ken Sheppard's takedown demand letter. It isn't a coincidence or misunderstanding of the technical details that they wanted 'Tom Paine'; we believe his identity was all they ever were looking for.
The slashdot attention at least got me to write a FAQ. Check it out here:

Thanks for taking the time to read the opinion and write about it. When I first heard the news that copyrighting C&D letters had been upheld by the courts, I felt sorely disappointed in our legal system. I'm thrilled to see that it isn't really so. I'm glad that you took the time to write something up about it.

I don't know if I'm going to get you in trouble for saying this but Melaleuca is obviously an evil company, and I will never ever buy their products from this point on. If they're not evil, then they've hired evil lawyers, which a non-evil company would rectify. Unless there's a swift change, I'll stick to my original interpretation of the situation.
(If we make that fact as publicly known as possible, they'll never be able to litigate their way out of it. They would have been much smarter to clean up whatever problem caused the poster to complain about them, and address the issue on the message board rationally and civilly. If they were decent that's what they likely would have done.)

The IRS screwed up. No political group should enjoy 501(c)(4) status
The tax law requires 501 organizations to operate exclusively to promote the "public welfare." In 1959 the IRS edited their tax codes to only require that they mostly promote the public welfare.
This loophole has allowed political activists to assume that they can spend up to 49% of their budgets on political ads, while still maintaining tax-exempt status that allows them to keep their donors secret.
This massive loophole was never authorized by Congress!
The current version of the Revenue Act of 1913 provides a tax exemption for:
Civil leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare or local associations of employees, the membership of which is limited to the employees of a designated person or persons in a particular municipality, and the net earnings of which are devoted exclusively to charitable, educational, or recreational purposes.

NASAs Meteoroid Environment Office is reporting the discovery of the brightest impact seen on the moon in the eight year history of the monitoring program.
Some 300 lunar impact events have been logged over the years but this latest impact, from March 17, is considered many orders of magnitude brighter than anything else observed.

My bread was already stale (which I highly recommend vs. using fresh). Instead of cubing it and skewering it I cut it in half lengthwise and brushed it with the olive oil mixture and placed it directly on the grill. Not only does it work with the salad, but it makes one heck of a delicious garlic bread! I left out the cucumber as I didn't feel it really belong. To assemble the salad I didn't really chop anything I just layered the ingredients and whisked the red wine vinegar with the olive oil and drizzled that over top. Then sprinkled the finished product with chopped fresh basil and some shredded Parmesan cheese. Next time I think I'll add some fresh mozzarella cheese to take this over the top! This makes a fabulous appetizer or side dish. I could have made a meal out of this all by itself - perfect with a glass of wine! Thanks for a great recipe!"
