Sorrento Mesa isn't typically the first place that comes to mind when you think "cool beer spot" or "fun restaurant to enjoy with the whole family," but the newly opened Gravity Heights is determined to change that. I recently dropped by to talk with General Manager Jon Broesel about the vision for Gravity Heights and of course, to sample some bites and brews.
The brainchild of Whisknladle Hospitality Inc.'s Arturo Kassel and the original Alesmith brewmaster, Skip Virgilio, Gravity Heights is a 12,000 square foot brewpub just a stone's throw away from Qualcomm's massive campus. Part restaurant, part bewery, and part event space, Gravity Heights is a feast for the eyes and the palette. Vibrant, California modern dining spaces flow seamlessly from outside to inside, with seating options allowing for everything from intimate conversation to casual gatherings to large celebrations.
Rather than restricting their clientele to the 21+ crowd, Gravity Heights has embraced families by filling their outdoor side yard with games and AstroTurf. As Jon Broesel explained, the vision for Gravity Heights was to create a space that families could enjoy as well. I'd say this vision has been well executed. On any given visit to the brewpub, you're sure to find the crowd is representative of the diversity of people living in our Off the 56 community from young professionals to families to retirees.
But what really makes Gravity Heights stand out in my opinion is the quality of the food AND the beer. Like I said in the video, usually when you find a place with good beer, they don't have good food and vice versa. But the team at Gravity Heights has really nailed it on both fronts. While I was meeting with Jon, I got to try a few of their beers and the Meat pizza. That pizza is honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had in San Diego – I'm still looking for an excuse to go back and order it again! And the beers were outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the June Gloom Hazy IPA. Though if you're not into IPAs, they have plenty of other beers on tap including some collaborations and guest beers, hard kombucha and cider, mixed drinks, and wine. To try the menu for yourself, make plans to join them for daily happy hour from 3-6pm in the bar and beer garden!
If you're looking for a space to host your next event or celebration, look no further. Gravity Heights is equipped to handle parties of all shapes and sizes. They also have a private mezzanine you can book that overlooks the brewery and restaurant below. In addition to having its own bar and lounge, the mezzanine also has a pool table, shuffle board, and arcade games.
Gravity Heights is open every day except for select holidays. Click here to browse their dining menu and their current drink list. They do accept dining reservations, which I highly recommend as they have been quite popular since the brewpub opened at the end of January.
Have you checked out Gravity Heights yet? If so, let me know what you thought by leaving me a comment below. And if you've got a business Off the 56 I should hit up next, just post it below!

Gonna Sing, Gonna Shout – Bluegrass Gospel from the Pen of Rick Lang wastes no time sinking its sly country hooks into our soul with Dave Adkins' performance of "Thinkin' Outside the Box," a roaring bluegrass swinger that slaps us with faith-riddled lyrics that rise from the darkness and quickly absorb every inch of space within the stereo. High Road follows up the opening rack with "Heaven's Back Yard," which benefits strongly from producer Jerry Salley's high definition sound work but would probably be just as striking all by itself in an acoustic, non-studio setting. Marty Raybon and Salley find Larry Stephenson and Josh Swift for the frolicking "I See God" before we dive straight into The Whites and their embracive "Don't Tune Him Out," which lyrically picks up where the former left off and keeps Gonna Sing, Gonna Shout moving at a brisk pace.
Jerry Salley steps up to the microphone with "The Back of the Church" alongside Brandon Rickman and Bradley Walker, spinning an elegiac story of finding God in the most unlikely of circumstances. As it fades into the ethers, Claire Lynch joins the lineup and Josh Swift replaces Walker for "Gonna Sing, Gonna Shout," which aptly captures the essence of the album inside of a three and a half minute fiddle ballad. Walker returns to the fold with "Henry Clayton Parker," which also ushers in the first appearance of Larry Cordle, who stays in the background but adds his own color beside his countrymen. "You don't have to be inside the church when you've got the church in you" they tell us, and never have the words been quite as literal as they are amongst this set of expressive ballads and breakdowns.
DAVE ADKINS: https://daveadkinsmusic.com/2018/10/dave-adkins-sings-new-tune-from-the-pen-of-rick-lang/
It would be hard to picture this album without the contribution provided by The Cox Family in "There Will Be Singing," which as its title implies follows a heavenly chorus made up of celestial voices fit to perform before the angels. It's a surprisingly understated tune next to Raybon's "I've Read the Book," but next to Kenny and Amanda Smith in "They Were Fisherman" it's one of the more elaborately conceived tracks on the record. "They Were Fisherman" has the feel of an archaic hymn with the style of something a little more contemporary, which in my opinion ironically summarizes the aesthetical narrative of Gonna Sing, Gonna Shout better than any other track.
Larry Cordle clashes with Salley, Larry Stephenson and Josh Swift for a melodic showdown in "Sunday Morning Gospel Jubilee" before we conclude the album with the Dave Adkins reprisal "There is a Light," which brings us full circle and draws the curtains on what can only be described as a cinematic homage to bluegrass' longstanding kinship with gospel music. Through the words and music of Rick Lang, these artists prove that modern country music can still unite with elements of worship and faith without becoming immersed in political agendas and the pressures of big label-bottom lines. I highly recommend audiences of all beliefs give Gonna Sing, Gonna Shout the listen that it deserves – while it may center on a religious premise, its personality is created through the substance of its sonic depth, and not just the inspiration behind its commanding prose.

Cleveland Cavaliers to Fire Mike Brown?
Numerous sources are reporting that the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to fire Mike Brown and his entire coaching staff this week.
While they have not officially been let go yet, the consensus around the league seems to be that Brown and his group will be shown the door soon. Despite leading the Cavaliers to a 278-138 regular-season record and a 42-29 mark in the playoffs, the team's inability to beat the Boston Celtics this year in the second round ultimately proved to be Brown's undoing.
The 2009 NBA Coach of the Year and the rest of his staff are still under contract with the Cavaliers, and as such, cannot pursue job openings with other teams. That being said, it is believed that if let go by the Cavs, Brown would become a desired candidate to coach another team.
Translation: Mike Brown will join the other mediocre NBA coaches in the league who get fired every few years, then rotate to another team, then get fired again, then rotate to another team again, and so forth.
Brown's shortcomings as the head coach of the Cavs have been well documented. His offensive game plan consisted of a nifty play called Give the Ball to LeBron James and Pray.
The Cavaliers coaching staff's poor strategizing became particularly apparent when facing the Boston Celtics. Tom Thibideau, the Celtics' defensive mastermind was able to easily adjust to the only plays that the Cavaliers would run against them. The Cavs would either run pick-and-pops with James and one of their inept big men, pick-and-rolls with James and one of their inept big men, or just the old fashioned when-in-doubt-jack-up-a-shot.
To be fair, everyone knew coming in that Brown's major strength was his defensive strategizing, not offensive. The problem is that he still hasn't built a defensive team in Cleveland compareable to that which the San Antonio Spurs used to win their titles, or the Detroit Pistons managed to build during their one-year championship run.
An slightly above average defense and a below average offense is not the recipe for championship success.
Brown has become a liability to the Cavaliers when it comes to resigning James. Cleveland needs a coach that can utilize their unique strengths and minimize their glaring weaknesses. The team does not have the money to get new talent to surround the King with, so they have to get a coach that will make the best out of what he is given.
Brown is not that man.
Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant had Phil Jackson. Magic Johnson and Dwyane Wade had Pat Riley. Tim Duncan had Gregg Popovich.
It's time to give James his own hall of fame coach.
On May 14, Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert told reporters that he was in the process of evaluating the entire coaching staff. The process was to take 10 days.
Monday will mark 10 days since Gilbert issued that statement.
Expect for the Cavaliers to start searching for a new coach in the coming week.

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of tonight's HBO movie Brexit, which is based on the 2016 UK referendum (and you know how that's turning out).
"We want to return to a time when we knew our place, when things made sense, fictional or not," Benedict Cumberbatch says provocatively in Brexit, capturing both the essence of the political turmoil the UK has been in since the referendum passed and the HBO Films offering about that vote which debuts tonight.
The Emmy winner and Oscar nominee's spirited portrayal of anti-European Union strategist Dominic Cummings fuels the rollicking James Graham-penned movie that seeks to tell the story of the man behind the successful campaign to get the UK out of Europe. While there are a several fictionalized aspects of the Toby Haynes–directed Brexit that requires leaps of narrative faith, and a lot of the illegal real-life moves remain in the shadows, I called the 92-minute result "a must-see on a number of levels" in my review earlier this week.
In examining a manipulated populist outbreak that has since had tremulous effects on this side of the Atlantic, Graham and Haynes have taken a populist approach that ensures to entertain, educated and engage viewers regardless of how closely they follow UK news. Certainly, coming off a week where Prime Minister Theresa May's exit plan went down to historic defeat in Britain's Parliament and the U.S. faces the prospect of its shutdown of the federal government becoming the longest ever, Brexit the movie seems perfectly timed.
As the chaos continued in London and Washington DC, I spoke with Haynes and Graham to discuss the film, its construction, intentions, ramifications in the UK and USA, and about whether American audiences get it.
Acclaimed playwright Graham also discussed how members of his own family voted "leave" in 2016 and the benefits of working with Cumberbatch. The screenwriter also answered criticism of the drama that he has received in Britain, where the then-titled Brexit: The Uncivil War premiered earlier this month on Channel 4.
DEADLINE:It might be true of any week the past few years, but certainly having Brexit air on HBO after this extraordinary week of political chaos in Britain, with defeats for Theresa May and her rival Jeremy Corbyn, the careening effects of the government shutdown continuing here in America, more bombshell allegations about Trump and Russia that may actually turn out to be real fake news, and turmoil in France, it's unbelievable if it wasn't now the norm. Does the blast radius of Brexit proper actually have an end point for you?
GRAHAM: I certainly would agree that something extraordinary is happening across the western world and that people like Dominic Cummings, who's played by Benedict, identify that mood. Dominic would argue that there's a mood, certainly, in the United Kingdom, that's been bubbling away for many generations, many decades. There's an anger about the unspoken aspect of globalization, of a change in domestic policy, whereby certain communities, as they saw it, were being ignored. There was an anger there, and that's something that the referendum provides an outlet for that anger, and you can see that, as you described. That goes up towards Trump and across Western Europe.
DEADLINE: So, having portrayed the minutia of British politics in Coalition, what drew you to tell the tale of Dominic Cummings within the broad strokes of what happened in the 2016 referendum?
GRAHAM: What's happening now with Brexit is an existential crisis about democracy and about who we are. We are the longest unbroken democracy on the planet, but we are free-falling into a crisis that we can't control, and it's unprecedented.
Like you, I watched Theresa May this week say she's going to try and wrestle this into some kind of sense, which is extraordinary because British politics is meant to be quite boring and quite stable.
DEADLINE: Which can make turning it into a film quite challenging…
GRAHAM: Well, yes, and the reason why I really enjoyed working with Toby on this is because another director may have approached this script by going, this is terribly serious. They would have said this is very important, these issues, and we need to handle it with kid gloves and make it really sort of an earnest, proper political drama with creaking footsteps and old gray men. Toby's aesthetic and approach was always more populist than that and actually replicated for me the chaos and the populism of that summer of 2016.
DEADLINE: Toby, how do you think American audiences are going to react to the film with the events of the past few days?
HAYNES: Well, we find it a pretty baffling subject, and I live in the country it directly affects. So, I can't imagine what it must be like for an American audience looking at our news cycle at the moment and trying to get their heads around what we're doing and what's going on. It must just seem like, you know, just a huge amount of stress and self-inflicted, state-level confusion.
DEADLINE:Speaking of confusion, there are some fictionalized elements in Brexit. You move kind of the beginning of the film ahead to an imaginary 2020. There's a political inquiry that Cummings has never actually appeared at. There's the meeting with him and "Remain" strategist Craig Oliver that never actually happened. Now, of course, as a television critic, I understand dramatic license, but are you worried for American HBO viewers that these fictional leaps of faith may confuse an already real-life confusing situation?
GRAHAM: No, not at all, because an American audience, like a British audience, are actually far more intelligent than the commentators give them credit for. So, every audience knows what the proposition of a film like this is. That we're not journalists, but we're trying to find a different kind of truth, and so the reason why the Dominic Cummings inquiry was placed in the film is because there's a really serious question about the lack of accountability from people who have not yet been held to account in front of Parliament.
DEADLINE: But that's exactly the point that gets blurred isn't it, by presenting such an inquiry in the film from the not-too-distant future?
GRAHAM: Well, for me, the joy of drama, the joy of doing this film is that, for whatever reason, and I've got no idea why, most journalists have not had access to Dominic Cummings. He's refused interviews since the referendum results. He's not appeared before a House of Commons inquiry. Yet, for whatever reason, he allowed a playwright to come and visit him, and then the actor playing him to come and visit him, because we aspire to a different kind of access to him that isn't necessarily the best of good journalism, but probing the truth.
DEADLINE: But isn't that exactly the best of journalism, to seek out and report the truth?
GRAHAM: Yes, but we want to understand it on a different level, and why we're so thrilled about the result. If you look at what Toby shot in that moment, that close-up of Dominic in those final moments, that is the only access that a mainstream audience gets to Dominic Cummings Now, I imagine an American audience has no idea who he is, and they shouldn't, because a British audience has no idea who Dominic Cummings is, truthfully, before our film. Look, we are the only film to put his argument on camera and have him prosecuted, So I understand about the criticism about the choices we made in that regard, but so far, that is the only testament we have of him, and I think it's really valid.
HAYNES: A friend of mine, when Trump was elected after the Brexit result for us, said, and I don't know whether he was repeating something from somewhere else, but he just said it feels like we're on the last disc of the box set of the Earth. And, I think that's really where drama can really help because it can join all the dots for people in a way that is digestible. That was, you know, one of the of missions of this film and one of the challenges of it.
DEADLINE: Certainly, you went for a very different look than the usual staid talking heads and talking points political drama of people walking down halls…
HAYNES: (laughs) I think I took my cue from a line in the script that James wrote where he makes the connection that the anthem of the EU is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which is also the theme music from A Clockwork Orange. Suddenly that made sense to the whole thing for me. I regard (Stanley) Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange as a great British satire about an anti-establishment figure, and the corruption of the state, and so it had a lot of cues for me visually.
DEADLINE: With those cues, and the real-life plots that we saw brewing in the harsh defeat that Theresa May suffered in Parliament this week, the confidence vote she survived and the ongoing stalemate that plagues Britain as that hard deadline of exiting the EU at the end of March comes, do you guys see a sequel to the story you've told in Brexit?
GRAHAM: Obviously, what we don't know is what those voters now think about the aftermath of that vote. We can't yet measure what the 17.4 million people who voted to leave, we don't know how they feel about how it's going. They may be feeling really disappointed, and angry, or let down, like they were lied to, but I don't know.
DEADLINE: But, underneath all the online manipulations and empty promises, those feelings of anger and being left out of the process are real, and often treated like an afterthought in all this fallout…
GRAHAM: Absolutely. I come from a working-class community in Nottinghamshire. It was a mining town. A lot of my family members voted to leave the EU, and certainly a lot of my old friends voted to leave. Now, I voted to remain, but I won't disparage people who thought differently to me.
For me, I guess it wasn't always about asking whether it was right or wrong to leave the EU, about whether a vote to leave was right, whether to remain was right. There were bigger questions there about who we are and about how our politics has changed.
DEADLINE: In many ways that it all made clear in that scene with Benedict's Dominic and Rory Kinnear's Craig Oliver sharing a drink over the aftermath. Now that scene never happened, but was that in part your point of having it?
GRAHAM: Well, first, when you have an actor like Rory Kinnear and Benedict Cumberbatch doing that scene in the pub, you're obviously very blessed as a writer.
But yes, there's a reason why I think people have focused on that scene. It's because I think, for me, and I think for you, Toby, as well, that scene really that projects what we think the film was actually about. It's not about a checklist of all the things that happened in that campaign, about data, and about funding, and about this, and about that. It's about something much bigger. It's an existential question about one of the oldest democracies on the planet really struggling to find itself and to have a healthy debate, if it can anymore.
DEADLINE: Do you worry that having an actor who is venerated as Benedict could overwhelm the material?
GRAHAM: I think the only way that we were going attract big audiences and get our message out there was by having a star like Benedict in that role, that's clear. At the same time, he didn't want to bring any baggage in when he was working on the role.
DEADLINE: How do you mean?
GRAHAM: Well, we were incredibly privileged to have, you know, somebody of his talent in our film, and I think that he took it very seriously and brought a lot of integrity into realizing Dominic as a human being and not just sort of hate figure, which was vital.
DEADLINE: With all that, James how do you think the Leave side were able to pull off a triumph that has now descended into tragedy in many ways?
GRAHAM: In the same way that you would sell a shoe or a hotel, you find people who are sympathetic to that particular message, and then you activate them into action, i.e., buying a hotel room or voting for a political party, and the Leave side was just much better at finding those people who were sympathetic.
And so, I think it is a very serious question to ask about how we measure, and it's really hard to measure how we measure the impact of digital advertising in our new politics, because we don't really know the impact it's having, and it's completely unregulated, and it's a really serious issue, and to your more interesting point, I totally agree. This has been the most extraordinary week of our parliament modern history, and in a way, to me, that's the value of, I hope, this drama. Obviously, we face questions constantly about going, when is the right time?
DEADLINE: Then, let me ask, is this the right time for Brexit the movie or is it a snapshot in the dark?
GRAHAM: When is the right time to do a drama like this? Can we ever know the full story about Brexit? And the answer is, no, of course we can't. This story is going to go on for years and decades, I know.

Safety measures call after a man and woman fell into the sea while disembarking Aran Island ferry
Authorities have called for new safety measures on one of the Aran Islands after a man and woman fell into the sea while disembarking a ferry.
The woman, who hurt her back, and the man, who could not swim, ended up in the water at Inis Oírr pier after a gangway came loose on the bank holiday Monday in June last year.
The Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) found ropes used to fasten the stern of the ferry to the quayside had not been properly tied on.
And it warned that the crew of the MV Rose of Aran, owned by Liscannor Ferry Company, were not trained or prepared for rescuing someone from the harbour.
"The recovery of the casualties would not have occurred without people on the shore entering the water and assisting them to shore," the MCIB said.
A life ring was thrown in for the man and he was helped to shore over rocks while a man climbed down from the pier and got into the water to help the woman up a ladder.
The man and woman were taken back to Doolin, Co Clare, later in the day by ferry.
The MCIB ordered the ferry company to ensure boats were safely and securely moored before gangways were deployed and passengers allowed to use them.
It also called for new policies to monitor the safety of passengers embarking and disembarking.
Galway County Council has been told to come up with a safety management system for all operations on Inis Oírr pier.
The MCIB said a bystander tied the stern rope from the ferry to a bollard on the quayside as it berthed but it was not checked before the 96 passengers began to disembark.
The investigators criticised the practice of large numbers of people crowding on to the pier to get ferries off the island in busy periods - about 500 people were quayside when the accident happened.
They also warned about vehicles using the pier and cargo being unloaded and said that during one inspection a life ring was obscured by bags of stones.
The MCBI said there had been a lack of detailed risk assessment for mooring at Inis Oírr in different tides, a lack of policing of operations, safety organisation and management in the harbour.
It said this was "not conducive to the safe berthing of vessels and transit of passengers to and from the pier".

Shell chemicals companies are major producers of nonene, or propylene trimer, a branched olefin produced by the polymerisation of propylene. Nonene is employed as a plasticiser in PVC wiring and cabling and in the production of other chemical intermediates used in detergents, cleaners and lubricant antioxidants.
Nonene plays an unseen but significant role in our everyday lives. Turn on the lights in your home or start your car, for example, and you may well be relying on flexible wiring or hose made possible with the addition of nonene.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a rigid plastic that can be made flexible by the addition of a plasticiser like nonene. Once plasticised, PVC is widely used in wire and cable coatings, electrical insulation, automotive interiors and coated fabrics. PVC's chemical make-up makes it inherently flame resistant; adding plasticisers gives it the necessary flexibility in wiring applications.
Nonene can also be used to produce other chemical intermediates such as alkyl phenols, isodecyl alcohol, neodecanoic acid and diphenylamine. As a result, we may encounter it in detergents and cleaners, as well as in antioxidants used in crankcase lubricating oils.
Our key strengths in nonene
- Major global suppliers
- Fully integrated manufacturing from raw material to final product
- Ability to ship by rail in the US or to other regions by ocean going vessel
- Product stewardship support, including essential handling advice

A Westbrook man who allegedly crashed his car and killed his passenger in November has been indicted for manslaughter.
Matthew Aaron Dickson, 23, allegedly killed 24-year-old Olivia Dolloff on Nov. 2 when he crashed his 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass near the Westgate Shopping Center on Congress Street in Portland, police said at the time.
He was initially charged with aggravated driving to endanger, but a Cumberland County grand jury indicted him on an additional felony manslaughter charge this month.
Assistant District Attorney Deborah Chmielewski, who brought the manslaughter charge against Dickson, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.
According to Maine's criminal code, a person is guilty of manslaughter if he or she recklessly, or with criminal negligence, causes the death of another person.
If convicted of manslaughter, Dickson could face up to 30 years in prison.

Fatigue from a few hours of drive through the winding roads of Western Ghat vanished instantly as we stepped out of the car into the serene beauty of Wagamon. I was accompanying a business group that's scouting for farm land and they were evaluating the feasibility of organic tea farming. We were at a mid size 100+ acre tea estate for meeting with the owner of the estate.
A nicely paved walk way through the tea plantation led us to the estate's guest house. We stopped a couple of times on the walk way enjoying the cool breeze and the beautiful sight of the tea plantation that is spread across the rolling hills as far as the eyes can see. The sight of the guest house resembled more like an extended cabin of a five star resort.
The owner of the estate, a third or fourth generation tea planter in his late thirties, was standing in front of the guest house with a welcoming smile. We were seated at the drawing room and started chit chatting about the tea estate and their farming practices. In between someone walked into the room with a tray of cups. After the long journey we were all ready for a cup of estate's special tea, but to our surprise the room was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
"Intriguing that you would serve coffee rather than tea at the guest house of a tea estate!", I couldn't resist commenting while trying to hide my curiosity with a smile. The owner said candidly, we don't drink tea here, we know what goes into it. There was silence in the room for a few seconds. We all knew about the use of pesticides in industrial farming, but his comment just pointed to the intensity of it. I think all our faces must have reflected what was going through in our minds. He quickly cracked a couple of jokes trying to ease the situation, and said coffee is much safer.
In the next few minutes we delved more into the farming process and talked about different pesticides and herbicides that goes into the farm. He said it isn't viable to farm organically anymore. The labour cost is too high for weed management. It is not possible to produce the current volume using organic methods. Someone asked, wouldn't the cost of all these pesticides and fertilizers add up to the cost of organic farming? He thought for a moment and said, amount of pesticides used is constantly increasing year by year but switching back to organic method is not easy. Disappointment was evident in his voice.
I would think farmers like him must have grown up running and playing around these tea plants, that they now think are not safe anymore for their children to go near by! What is ironic is that the life of tea plants spans over more than a century and the plants that we see now probably are the same plants that were there a generation ago. It is perplexing to think what really changed in 30-50 years that forced our attitude to change from "caring and nurturing the plants" into "managing and controlling production". Can we sum it up in one word as "greed"?
After spending a couple of hours at the guest house we said goodbye to the estate owner and walked back to our vehicle. The tea plantation now looked different in light of what we just heard. I felt enormous respect for the mother nature as she continued her beautiful smile while patiently accepting all the poison that we have been dumping on her face.
A couple of months later, I had another tea planter from Wagamon visited my office. He was a retired professor in his mid seventies. He bought his 20+ acre estate a few decades ago while he was working as a college lecturer in Wagamon.
Although he didn't sound like an organic farming evangelist :-), he definitely was an ethical farmer who was concerned about the current farming practices and its impact on nature.
I sat in front of him with full attention as if a five year old child would sit in front of his grandpa listening to his stories :-). After all, here is a successful farmer who passionately ran a farm for decades, fighting against the temptations and greed. He had very interesting observations on what lured organic farmers into chemical based industrial farming and why was it a trap. I said in my mind, we need more people like you, sir.
All of professor's children are settled with their own businesses and were too busy to take care of the day to day running of the farm. So he was considering of selling the farm land. The professor was accompanied by one of his sons who was in his early forties and was running a technology related business with branches in a few cities.
While this discussion was in progress, our office attendant came and asked whether our guests prefer tea or coffee. The professor thanked and said he would just like water. I asked, how about green tea? His son, who was silent so far, politely said, we don't drink tea or coffee. Why is that, I asked. He said, it is hard to drink tea or coffee once you know what is happening in the current tea farming industry. Recalling my earlier tea planter interaction, I asked, isn't coffee generally safe? The professor looked at me for a second in silence, and said, coffee is even worse. 😦
We continued our discussion for an hour. Before leaving the professor said, well, the picture probably is not as disappointing as it sounds. In the recent times there has been tremendous awareness on the need for change. He said he knew of a non-profit organization that leases and runs tea estates using organic farming practices. I heard that they claim organic farming can actually be more profitable than the current farming practices and their products have good demand in the market. Meeting them is on my agenda for the next Wagamon trip. 🙂
I accompanied the professor and his son to our main door. As I was bidding goodbye to them, my coffee cup was still sitting on the conference room table, cold and untouched.

In the tear tuned lustrous night
When water is blood softly hammering in the earth's old veins
And dew sobs into the bone end of hours like a lullaby.
I am the smallest note, the quietest, in this unsung magnificat.
Light calls from behind the cirrus curtain
Muted moon
Alto comets
Plastic satellites synchronize their electronic pulses to four four
Sweep in metronymic precision left to right, right to left;
Held between earth and the infinite by a thought, a notion,
And gravity's steadying hand.
There is a rhythm to the universe
A chord played below the level of the noise,
That resonates across the strings of those attentively listening
And resonates across those that aren't.

With access to information made easier with mobile instruments, learning how to play an instrument will be a breeze. The real question is, is it possible to learn online? Of course, it is! If you want to become a professional, you should invest in a personal instructor in the long run, but you can still learn online. Check out Britain Reviews to read what other people think about learning to play an instrument online.
When you want to learn online, there are certain things you will need. The first is dedication, and there will be no one to force you to maintain your daily lessons. You will have to do that on your own. This is why it is very important to be dedicated, or you may get bored. The second is time management skills, and if you have a job, it will be hard to schedule a time to learn a new skill. Don't just learn anytime you remember to check the app, and you should schedule a time and days of the week for learning a musical instrument.
You can learn with YouTube videos or music learning applications. Another fun way to learn online is by playing music games.
Why Adults Should Learn How to Play an Instrument
Learning an instrument is no small feat. That is why the best time to start learning a musical instrument if you want to become a professional is when you are little. That way, you have more time to practice and gain experience. Don't let this discourage you. If you want to learn music as an adult for fun, there are plenty of reasons to do just that.
- Learning music is good for your brain: learning something new always gives the brain something to figure out. You get to exercise your brain by learning the coordination of sequences needed to understand a musical instrument.
- Learning music is fun: many people who learn music find it extremely fun while playing with others. Sure, you may not get to play in very large theatres, but practicing will be fun, and the fact that you're not taking up music professionally will take a lot of pressure off.
- You get to make more friends: when you sign up for music classes, you are likely to meet more people who want to learn similar or different instruments as you do. You get to share ideas with other people and build close relationships, especially when you play in an orchestra.
- Music relieves people of stress: this is another reason you can learn to play music, we all have our favorite songs that make us feel better when stressed out. Creating your music will have that effect because you're an adult, and you're not being forced to learn music. You will be more focused, and you can pick what instrument you want to play. Learn how to play musical instruments online at your convenience. Check out more online courses UK reviews.

If you're planning a wedding or other big celebration, then there are lots of ideas in this week's (4th June 2013) magazine for ideas on how to decorate the venue, and one of the suggestions is to have a croquembouche as a centrepiece rather than a traditional wedding cake.
Hello, this is Cookery Editor, Sue, and I was pleased to read in the magazine about the suggestion of making a croquembouche as whenever I've made them they are something I enjoy doing, and they always look so impressive. The name "croque-em-bouche" is French and means "crunch in the mouth". The dessert is a tall pile of profiteroles which are usually filled with vanilla pastry cream (custard) and are stuck together with caramel and then sugar is spun around over them. They are then often decorated with sugared almonds or edible flowers.
This type of dessert is popular at weddings and baptisms in France but are becoming more popular over here. In the magazine it's suggested as an alternative to wedding cake, but on most occasions when I've known people to have them, they've served them in addition to a traditional British-style wedding cake, and they've served the croquembouche as a dessert.
To get the shape right it helps to build the profiteroles up around a cone shape. In the past I've used several layers of aluminium foil, which I've shaped into a cone, and then oiled it well so that once the caramel has set, the cone can carefully be removed from the stack. I've always used this method as special stainless steel croquembouche formers are expensive and I've never wanted to invest in one as I know I wouldn't use it enough, plus they are bulky to store, but something we now have in our test kitchen is the Silverwood Croquembouche Mould which is an aluminium top and bottom piece and then a cone shape of a non-stick silicone-coated material, so it comes to pieces and doesn't take up much storage space, plus at £19.99 the price is much better than at my favourite professional catering equipment supplier who charge over £100 for their small size mould and over £270 for the large size one. However, my brother, who used to work as a chef came up with an alternative to the large size mould when he had to make one so he went out into the hotel car park and borrowed one of the traffic bollards and covered that with foil (I would like to think that it was well bleached before use).
So once you've got the mould, the next thing is to make all the choux puffs. These are just like profiteroles.The actual buns can be made in advance and frozen, so there's not so much stress on the day that it's going to be assembled and served, but if you do freeze them, then I'd recommend warming then through in a hot oven to crisp them up again before filling them. When I fill the buns, I used to cut into them and pull them open, but anyone who saw me demonstrating at Woman's Weekly Live last year will have seen me using what was then one of my "new toys" – a stainless steel piping tube, which I used to pipe jam into the centre of cupcakes, but it's also great for piecing through choux pastry to pipe in the filling and is neater than cutting them with a knife.
I think that the most difficult thing is the assembly, as you need to dip the filled buns into hot caramel, so you need to take care that you don't splash the caramel and burn yourself. Also, this can be the most stressful part as it's better to fill and assemble the choux buns as close to serving them as possible so that the pastry remains crisp. Also, as most fillings have fresh cream in them, it's not recommended to have them unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours, particularly in the heat of the summer. So if you haven't made one before, then I'd suggest making a small practice one beforehand so you've got the hang of dipping them and sticking them close enough together so that the structure is firm enough and isn't going to collapse if you remove the centre cone (the correct way to serve them is to remove the cone, but if you're worried about it collapsing, then the cone can be left in place). Ideally you also want to be able to assemble it where you're going to be serving it, rather than having to transport it in a car. So if the party is a hotel, then you may want to check with them if it's going to be possible to do that.
If you do have a go at making a croquembouche and you enjoy doing it then you can get much more creative than just making cone shapes. I've noticed when I've been to patisserie events over in France they have whole books about "Pièces montées (which is a term that the French use to describe constructions from choux buns such as croquembouche) and doing an online search I found this French Patisserie shop who have a selection of creations based on choux with some nougatine too for events such as Baptisms and First Communion as well as weddings. And I think the prize for the most bazaar creation must go to this dress in choux!

That's the topic of this fascinating NYT article. The article probably spends a little too much time poking fun at the backward Texans (though it's so easy); but also does a good job of laying out the complicated question of deciphering just how Christian the founders were. My favorite quote:
Or, as Brookhiser rather succinctly summarizes the point: "The founders were not as Christian as [conservative activists] would like them to be, though they weren't as secularist as Christopher Hitchens would like them to be."
(Also, the scary Texans do get really scary for parts of the piece.)
What do you think of the article, and of the underlying issues?

Yesterday the web of lies and crimes spun by the White House got more tangled and impossible to unravel than ever, as several major scandals played out on the national television news networks.
With the number of Mueller indictments having just grown to over 80 charges against 19 individuals associated with Trump and with four top Trump aides having already plead guilty to crimes including conspiracy against the United States, it was revealed yesterday that Jared Kushner, the President's son-in-law, has used his job in the White House to put himself in a position where he could rake in many millions in foreign loans to get his family out of billions in debt.
While everyone knew yesterday morning that Kushner was losing his top security clearance. the Washington Post went further last night with a bombshell report that four countries, at a minimum, have discussed ways they can manipulate Kushner by taking advantage of his debt. He owes $1.2 billion on one property in New York alone. U.S. intelligence agencies have apparently heard officials of the United Arab Emirates, China, Israel, and Mexico discussing the matter with one another. Chinese officials were heard talking about Kushner's desire for a $200 million loan from that country.
The foreign officials were talking about what they considered both the naivete and financial desperation of Kushner, who is said to have sought the huge loan from a Chinese company just before that company was taken over by its country's government.
If true, these types of actions by Kushner would constitute major crimes – using his government position to amass millions of dollars to take care of his family business. The degree to which all of this leaves him – and through him, the U.S. – vulnerable to blackmail is also a problem.
To make matters worse, Trump's national security adviser, H.R. McMaster and his chief of staff, John Kelly, knew these things were happening about Kushner but failed to report them. It is difficult if not impossible to imagine that almost everbody else in the White House didn't also know all of this about Kushner.
If these were "normal" times, Kushner, McMaster, and Kelly would all have already been fired and the President himself would already have been impeached over this Kushner business alone. But the scandals and potential crimes gushing out of the White House daily now turn everything into an almost incomprehensible, unbelievable blur in the public's mind.
News of the day before, for example, that Ivanka Trump conducted official business with South Korea and probably used her position to discuss family business there, all while she too lacked proper security clearance, got almost completely lost in less than 24 hours.
As did the news yesterday that White House Secretary Hope Hicks refused to answer any questions from the House Intelligence Committee relating to anything that happened during the transition or during the time Trump has been president. Buried too was the news that the GOP majority on the committee let her get away with this despite an attempt by the Democrats to force her to testify with a subpoena. It didn't seem to be troublesome enough to the Republican lawmakers that in the testimony Hicks did give she said that telling "white" lies was a normal part of her job as White House secretary.
That the White House accepts "white" lies surprises few these days since it regularly promotes anything "white." Presumably Hicks would have a much harder time, however, getting Special Counsel Mueller to accept any lies, regardless of their color.
Forgotten also was yesterday's news that the Trump International Hotel in Panama was the scene yesterday of armed battles by teams of men, including Panamanian police. Folks were barricading themselves into rooms and fighting from room to room.
The Trump International in Panama was a brazenly built facility designed for laundering international mafia money. It is operated by the Trump International Company. Panamanian cops were in there investigating claims that Panamanian labor law, already hardly much to speak of as far as labor law is concerned, had been violated at the hotel.
For now it appears that even Panama, partly because of his horrible reputation in Latin America, wants Trump out. The results on that fight are not yet in, however.
Also, almost forgotten a day later is the news that Trump picked Brad Parscale as his campaign manager for 2020, signaling, of course, that the President intends to stay around for a while. Only hours after the announcement it was revealed that Parscale has close ties to a penny stock firm run by notorious fraudsters who regularly swindle buyers on Wall Street out of millions of dollars. The new campaign manager has already been interviewed by the special prosecutor.
Most observers say the move allows Trump to raise money he could use for other things, perhaps the legal defense of the many folks in his administration who face legal peril. Some 80 individuals thus far have either quit or been forced out of the White House since he became president, a record number of such departures from any administration in U.S. history.
The speculation about the money going to places other than the reelection capaign seems reasonable when one considers the under-the-radar establishment yesterday in the state of Delaware of an entity called the Patriot Legal Expense Fund LLC. It was incorporated as a "non- profit" in corporate friendly Delaware. No one has official knowledge yet of who will donate to and fund the entity. One clear thing, however, is that there a lot of folks Trump defines as "patriots " who are in need these days of legal defense.
Also in the last two days, at least 20 new charges of serious crimes have been filed against Trump's Deputy Campaign Manager Richard Gates who is cooperating with the Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Yet with all these charges of big crimes against Gates, Mueller is going after Gates for only two minor ones. This can only mean that his real targets are Manafort, Kushner, and of course Trump himself.
As good a prosecutor as he may or may not be, however, the ultimate responsibility here lies with all of us, the people. We must remain vigilant. We are dealing with an administration unlike any we have ever had to deal with before. Our democracy is at stake. Vigilance and determination to use the 2018 elections to sweep out of office all the Republicans who condone the criminal Trump administration are required.

Bryan earns PGA Tour card with Digital Ally win
American Wesley Bryan has become just the 11th golfer in Web.com Tour history to earn a direct three-win 'battlefield promotion' to the PGA TOUR, with a playoff victory at the Digital Ally Open in Kansas.
The 26-year-old former trick shot artist defeated J.T. Poston and Grayson Murray with a birdie on the second extra hole to notch his third Web.com Tour victory of the season.
"If you had flashbacked nine months ago and told me I was going to be in this position, there is no chance I was going to believe you," said Bryan, who earned a first-place cheque for $117,500. "Wins are hard to come by. There are a lot of players playing a lot of great golf, like you saw with J.T. and Grayson today."
"Just to be able to do it three times is something I thought was not even possible until this year."
After all, three players birdied the first extra hole, Bryan knocked a 6-iron from 194 yards to 3 feet from the cup on the second playoff hole to seize the advantage. Murray and Poston both missed their birdie tries allowing Bryan to tap in for the win and an instant change in workplace.
"I hit probably the best shot of the day, definitely the best shot of my career," said Bryan, "It went 193 yards and had I a 2- or 3-footer for the win, and it was fantastic."
Carlos Ortiz was the last player to earn direct promotion to the PGA TOUR with three victories in his 2014 season. Two Australians, Michael Sim in 2009 and Nick Flanagan in 2007, are among the 11 players to have achieved the feat since the Tour instituted the policy in 1997.
Neither Sim or Flanagan were in the field in Kansas last week with Australia's best headed by Rhein Gibson (T23rd), Oliver Goss (T33rd) and Brett Drewitt (T48th).

This product, a natural supplement to boost testosterone production, has several benefits for men. Some benefits are to be expected and some will be added benefits that are realized. The main goal of testx core is to increase the capacity of the body to produce more testosterone. That is the male hormone responsible for building lean muscle, providing energy, and fueling the sex drive.
Other Benefits
Maintaining high levels of testosterone also helps the body burn fat and recover quickly from strenuous workouts. Some of the natural ingredients provide other health benefits. The magnesium in the supplement is recommended to people to naturally lower blood pressure. Men have reported better sleep patterns, more focus, and better memory recall while taking the supplement. Mood improves as well.
Why Testosterone Levels Drop?
Levels drop for a few reasons. Age automatically signals the body to produce less testosterone. At the age of thirty, levels begin to decline at approximately two percent each year. A man at the age of forty-five will have only seventy percent of the hormone they had when younger.
The other reasons are environmental influences. Excess stress, lack of sleep, and poor nutrition are contributing factors to the decline of production. Consider how much fast, processed, and junk food is consumed by the average person these days. Add to that the vast amounts of caffeine ingested and there is no wonder the body lacks vitamins and minerals.
How It Works
The supplement works with the natural body production of testosterone to increase and sustain it to higher levels. Men have more energy, can concentrate better, and experience stamina and enhanced performance in the bedroom. There are few side effects that wear off as the body gets accustomed to the higher levels. Acne may appear on the face, the body may feel flush immediately after taking the pill, and sweats can occur for a few days.
People should consult a doctor before starting any new supplements, natural or otherwise. Medications, certain conditions, and chronic illness may react with the supplement. Those may also be the cause of any sharp decline in levels in the first place. Do not exceed recommended dosage if the doctor approves usage.

The capital of Perlis
The capital of the strictly Muslim state of Perlis, Kangar isn't the bustling city most would expect of a state capital but instead has a countryside town feel to it, and is surrounded by fields and farms. The province is Malaysia's tiniest and is home to a variety of natural attractions as well as being culturally intriguing thanks to its location bordering Buddhist-majority Thailand to its north, Malaysia's Kedah state to its south and a small stretch of the Andaman coastline to its west.
Browse hotels in Kangar on Agoda
Provided by Travelfish partner Agoda.
The state makes an interesting little stop as you either head into or out of Malaysia, though most travellers tend to only see it as a transit point either to Pulau Langkawi or Thailand. It's easy to get around and is also cheaper than many other parts of Malaysia.
While Kangar may be the state's little capital, the royal family and Sultan have their residences in Arau, some 10km away. KTM's railway line runs through the state and eventually crosses into Thailand at Padang Besar, a small international border crossing south of the major Thai transport hub of Hat Yai.
Spectacular limestone outcroppings similar to those in Thailand rise from the flat rice paddies that stretch across much of Perlis' landscape. These outcroppings are part of the longest continuous limestone range in Southeast Asia, the Nakawan, which extends along the national border like a great wall.
Due to its close proximity to and historical relations with Siam, Thai culture is still very noticeable in Perlis, including in the architecture, local cuisine, the people's relaxed attitude to life, and even the language – most locals speak some Thai. People who live along the border often just walk past the immigration lines to visit family members on the other side -- formalities seem too much trouble.
Once you're in the capital, you'll see the town centre is spread out along Perlis River and its tributaries bubbling down from the mountains in the north. A couple of shophouse-lined crisscrossing streets and lanes compromise the town centre. The small town square together with Pasar Raya shopping complex is the most happening area, with banks, a post office, small roadside restaurants and a crowded KFC that's open 24/7.
Unlike Kedah state, where the working days are Sunday to Thursday, Perlis operates on a regular Monday to Friday system like Kuala Lumpur. Around lunch time, workers, shoppers and commuters often retreat from the midday sun to roadside stalls for a quick bite to eat and a gossip.
Travellers arriving on the Langkawi ferry at night will find Kangar town centre pretty deserted unless it's festival season, due to the majority of people here being Muslim and alcohol practically nonexistent. The only really busy-by-night area is near the express bus station, where shops and a handful of food stalls stay open until late.
The very centre of town is the main square near the Intercity bus station on Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, where you'll also find Kangar's post office, open Mon – Sat, 09:00-16:00.
Opposite is a Maybank with 24-hour ATMs and banking hours are Mon-Fri, 09:15-16:30 and Sat 09:15-12:15.
Overlooking the square is Pasar Raya supermarket, in an ageing concrete shopping complex, open daily 10:00-22:00. Here you'll find mostly local foods and groceries, home accessories and a small array of Malay-style clothes.
A taxi station stand is in the middle portion of the square while on one corner is a KFC, the only choice for a meal after 20:00 when restaurants here close.

Florida continuing to become a Klan stronghold, especially in the Jacksonville region. Governor Knutson was charged with bribery because of his part in attempting to effect McCray. Karen states that, for the top component, users attempt to prevent confrontation, although it occurs usually during bars.
The Flag was not really an indication of captivity, merely patriotism. For a few, the Betsy Ross Flag is usually only a reminder from the country's background. The Jesse Trump Flag was not desired mainly because several believe he is hurtful. The earliest Confederate nationwide Flag presented something of the issue, however. For two hundred and fifty decades, later viewed this as an indication of the fantastic things concerning this nation.
Several the Flags are produced in the united says, yet all of us perform bring inexpensive brought in Flags, as well.

For every those wishing to take notice of the Flag reduced, obtaining the Klan move against you is usually the best thing you might wish for. They're also the priciest Flags.

The most essential point all of us must identify and keep in mind is that like can be what pushes hatred which usually hatred offers got the capacity of essentializing somebody else's existence and encounter whilst reaffirming the unfavorable stereotypes which usually may end up being related to their identity. Certainly, you might communicate anger toward that individual. The developing attack credited toward the Klan triggered wide bitterness, and by 1922 numerous anti-Klan organizations experienced formed through the state. This individual dedicated precisely the sort of mindless, hurtful assault the group provides usually famous.
Beyond the civics from it, exactly what is the meaning responsibility in the top of such hate. That was not the only intention from this. The single purpose of the Knights in battle in fight of the Street was going to are in odds of the Ku Klux Klan Flag. Presently there is additional method this may become construed with no in the beginning disregarding the framework. Progressively, nevertheless, there is an awareness the Klan wields very effective methods of controlling the types of coverage this receives. However, these encouraging efforts could not stop some schisms extremely much like the types that affected the KKK below Fight it out.

Actually, though is actually nearly difficult to understand membership figures for any kind of group, the claim they're one the best KKK groupings in the UNITED STATES can be a not even close to true, Beirich explained.
Regular membership in Klan organizations is currently considered to amount simply in the hundreds. It is people and actions usually are revealed to the general membership. Which mean this really is certainly some safe group that does not take component in national politics violence, this individual added. Rather, really right now just a kind of hate group and there are typically a number of number of different energetic Klan organizations about USA in any period.
An adequate amount of especially white mainstream dailies is certainly becoming increasingly more aware that even though denouncing the Klan can easily acquire a few visitors, this may also drop all of them visitors. This isn't the first period that supposed white nationalists are included with American national politics. You produce those who also are absolutely nothing like me personally. The girl stated politics speaks recently needed to stop ducking the problem from the make use of and misuse of Flag KKKs and insignias to get the is designed of violence.

Kelly has a great way of understanding my business and capturing the essence of what I am trying to achieve. Her professionalism meant it was easy and fun and I would have no issues recommending Kelly to any business.

Top Ten Tips to keep your child safe online
How do I talk to my child about what they're doing online?
Let them teach you
The people who know best about what your children are up to online, are your children! Get them to tell you about the sites they're using. Ask them questions such as:
This is a good way to develop a trusting relationship with your child about what they are up to online.
Reach an agreement
A good way to set boundaries with your child about what they can and can't do online is to set an agreement with them.
Here are some examples of the areas you might want to discuss:
Why not introduce an agreement after watching one of the Thinkuknow films?
Go to the movies
Your child may have watched one of our Thinkuknow cartoons or films at school; they are a great way to start conversations with your child about what can happen online and what they can do about it.
Ask your child if they have seen any of the films below and why not sit down and watch one together and discuss the topics. We would recommend that you watch the film on your own beforehand so that you're aware of the topics it covers.
What tools are there to help me keep my child safe?
As well as being involved in your child's life online, there are a number of tools that you can use to help keep them safe.
Parental controls
As a parent or carer it can be difficult to monitor what your child is up to online. Most parents and carers trust their children online, but it can be easy for a child to stumble across things that might upset or disturb them.
Filtering and moderation packages are a good way to stop the majority of inappropriate and harmful content coming into your home. They are a tool to help you set and change online boundaries in line with your child's development.
The 4 big internet providers in the UK – BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media – provide their customers with free parental controls which can be activated at any time. They have come together to produce these helpful video guides to help you to download and set-up the controls offered by your provider.
If you would like to find out how to set up filters on your home internet to help prevent age inappropriate content being accessed on devices in your home, click here.
Reporting a concern
When should I report to Child Exploitation & Online Protection (CEOP)?
We help children stay safe online. Has someone acted inappropriately towards your child online, or to a child or young person you know? It may be inappropriate chat, being asked to do something that makes them feel uncomfortable or someone being insistent on meeting up. You can report it to CEOP.
Education tools
Use the Thinkuknow films programme with your child.

He has particular expertise in sales, marketing and product development strategies and processes. This includes organizational design, post-merger integration, global product launch strategy, commercial model and customer experience design, and sales and marketing effectiveness. Zahlan also has worked extensively on specialty product launches in Asia-Pacific and has helped clients expand their operations in the region.
"Pharmaceutical and medical device companies are challenged to devise commercial strategies, allocate resources and build and retain a strong team to tap opportunity in the region's many growth markets," Zahlan said. "In Singapore, ZS will draw on three decades of experience to help companies create effective go-to-market strategies, build their capabilities and frequently operate as an extension of their teams. The Singapore office will offer the full scope of ZS services and be a full-fledged sales and marketing partner to companies in the region."
