Today on the podcast, Tom Vander Ark is speaking with Dr. James Lane, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction at the Virginia Department of Education. Dr. Lane started his career in education serving as a band teacher, a school leader, and then System Head in two districts before finally ending up at the Virginia Department of Education.

Still a waiting game as we watch Hurricane Maria and the Jet stream both racing to meet just about at the Outer banks. The 11am hurricane advisory should bring similar news to what we see now but as hours go by we will have much more detailed info on exactly where we need to show concern for maria. Although landfall is NOT out of the equation the delay Maria is expected to experience will bring a lot of rain to the coasts of North Carolina and parts of Virginia What we want to see is a gradual weakening of Maria as it moves North close to Outer banks. (LETS HOPE) Enough is ENOUGH! Throughout the day we should also have a much better idea of what types of force maria will have. Until then folks in the Path MUST stay up to date especially those on the coast. Timing is now everything this case Twitter: @In2ThinAir https://twitter.com/In2ThinAir

September is Virginia Spirits Month! Celebrate with all of your favorites. Preferably while listening to this episode. Spirit Work. With Community Changes. Welcome to Episode 80 and the very first recorded after the events of August 12th. Meet Ian Glomski of Vitae Spirits, a former UVA professor of microbiology who decided to take his knowledge and apply it to the science of distilling. With fabulous results. Edacious is about community, so we begin with how August 12th affected Charlottesville, including disturbing events that happened right next door the day after. The fact this happened in summer, the slowest season for business, didn't help. At all. What then? We talk about it, as well as the challenges faced by our community as all sorts of changes, good and bad, happen when the town you live in has its moment in the national spotlight. We're used to being named the Prettiest Little Town That Ever Existed. How do we handle this new label? How do we move forward consciously, with awareness and compassion? And how do we embrace revitalization when the very concept looks different depending on your perspective? Ian's love of microbes began early, college in fact, when he discovered while he couldn't legally drink beer, he did have the ingredients to make it. A microbiology class improved his technique. A Ph.D. followed soon after. Eventually Ian became a professor at the UVA School of Medicine, but his passion for fermentation never waivered. Pair that with a family background in wine and a job which no longer fed him emotionally and you've got the perfect equation for a new life path. A boutique distillery focusing on making the best possible spirits money can buy. "There's a certain level of scientist in me where I try to control variables as much as possible, but you can only control so many things and there's a certain amount of intuition that I've developed...in the three-plus decades that I've been doing fermentation." Vitae Spirits was founded in 2015 and in only two years has made a name for itself, winning medals for its Modern Gin and Platinum Rum. Their tasting room is sleek, modern, yet insanely comfortable. A place right in town to tuck in and enjoy some tastings, maybe even a cocktail. Right next door to an awesome barbecue spot. But it's off the beaten path in the burgeoning neighborhood of Rose Hill. What are Ian and his team doing to get folks there? How are his mission and vision different from those of corporate distillers? "This was in my business plan...we want to maintain authenticity as best as possible...my ideal way of growth is essentially word of mouth. That has to be promoted in a lot of different ways...I'll never be buying an NFL football spot even if I could afford it because...I want it to feel like a garage band situation where people recognize us as their own private, personal thing. That means we have to keep in touch with our customers." One method is using story. When Ian pours you a tasting of Golden Rum, you are being served by the man who made it. When he travels to festivals and restaurants selling his wares you are looking in the eyes of the man who spent hours developing the nectar in your mojito. He oversees every step of the process from fermentation to bottling. That's huge. That use of story is elemental to good business growth. Incorporating a good logo by Convoy and beautiful bottle artwork by Lara Call Gastinger continues the story, sealing the deal. “There’s a really long history of alcohol being associated as a medicine or with a medicine…the distillation process was discovered by Muslim alchemists…the alchemists were looking for an elixir of life…they put wine in an alembic still, a colorless liquid came out…they put a pear in it and the pear never rotted…they interpreted that as that liquid was infusing life force.” The process of distilling rum, gin, and liqueurs is very different from creating bourbon or whisky. We discuss the ingredients as well as the process. Like those spirits, you have to jump through the same state and federal bureaucratic hoops. It's an incredibly long and challenging series of events. We talk about it, as well as some of the ways our Commonwealth is making it a bit easier which should result in a spirits boom similar to the ones we've seen with wine and beer. "For our rums we use the highest grade molasses..it's more like an evaporated sugar cane juice...sometimes referred to as sugarcane honey...it's super sweet and flavorful in the positive sense...we have almost completely uncooked evaporated juice so we don't get a lot of those bitter sulphery aromas..." Did you know there was a distilling "incident" in Woolen Mills in 1983? What is carrot vodka? What's the difference between grape vodka and grappa? Can you make rum from sorghum? What liqueur collaboration is in development with a local coffee roaster? What local citrus does he use in his orange liqueur, one you may not know about? Could absinthe happen in Virginia? What research did he do before starting? We cover it all! Are you a home bartender with no outlet for your passion? Create a cocktail using Vitae Spirits! Entries are due September 4th. Details below and on the Vitae Spirits website. You can find Vitae Spirits in many Virgina ABC stores and its cocktails in many local restaurants. Maps for both can be found on the website. Of course, you can also visit the tasting room, take a tour, enjoy a specialty cocktail, and purchase a bottle to take home. Ian founded Vitae the same year as Edacious. In my early days, I recorded at In a Flash Laser which just happened to be upstairs. It's been so rewarding to see Vitae's development. To finally see the finished tasting room just yesterday when I recorded? Wonderful. Get yourself there ASAP and enjoy all of your favorite local craft spirits as part of Virginia Craft Spirits Month.

I recently had Michael Jordan from A Bee Friendly Company on the Small Scale Life to discuss bees, beekeeping, small business and mead.  Michael was kind enough to take beekeeping questions from the Small Scale Life audience and followers. Who is Michael Jordan?  Michael is a husband, father, teacher, bee whisperer and entrepreneur, and he is a MVP of beekeeping and award-winning mead maker.  Find out more about Michael Jordan and how he got into mead and beekeeping in Small Scale Life Season 2, Episode 16. Beekeeping Questions for Michael Jordan [caption id="attachment_2092" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Bees hard at work in the yard in St. Louis Park, MN in June 2017[/caption] The following beekeeping questions were asked from the Small Scale Life audience: From Jay in Virginia: What are the basic requirements in terms of money and space for starting a small bee operation? The “small bee operation” is defined as enough to serve the purposes of your homestead. Honey, maybe some to sell, pollination to encourage growth of vegetables and flowers. EDIT: Some of this question is answered in Small Scale Life Season 2, Episode 16, but Michael talks about this question some more in this episode. From Nikki in Wisconsin: Do you recommend for new beekeepers to have a mentor for the first year? From Danielle in Minnesota: What is your preferred bear exclusion fencing system? Do you have a brand and volts recommendation?  EDIT: Michael had some REALLY interesting ideas for this! From Nikki in Wisconsin: I'm working in the school garden with elementary age kids. Can you give some resources for bee activities, worksheets or honey cooking that I can teach the kids. (I took a bee keeping class at the University of Minnesota, and I am working with a bee mentor that had about 12 hives up in northern Wisconsin. I love listening to MJ and he inspires me to be kind.)  EDIT: See the link below for A Bee Friendly Company! From John in Wisconsin: What's his advice for helping a spouse and a child overcome their fear of bees? I'd love to start, but I can't due to their fear. From Captain Lumbersquatch Greg Burns in Ohio: What is MJ's favorite method for making splits? From Dustin in Ohio: You posted a picture of red honeycomb in a recent post on Facebook. What made it red? My question: You were recently out in Arizona, and you made a video about bees needing water. Can you tell the audience about that and give us some suggestions for providing water for bees? My question: Some of the audience won’t become beekeepers, yet they are concerned about the bees and have gardens that need pollination. What are some tips for attracting bees to your yard and gardens? Michael Jordan's Links [caption id="attachment_1984" align="aligncenter" width="754"] Live a little; love a lot!

A caller wonders whether there is any significance to a blood moon in pre-tribulational times. Joy, Virginia - What does Pastor Broggi think of the books "Every Young Woman's Battle" (Shannon Etheridge) and "Every Young Man's...

This week Bob and Dale discuss topics sent in from listeners Don Hubbell from Virginia (What is the biggest contributor to the cigar aroma? Filler, binder or wrapper?), Frank Wagner from Wisconsin (Why not give CRA memberships to anti-smoking proponents?) and Frank Reiter from Missouri (DogWatch's recent appearance on The Cigar Authority). Angry Bill from California checks in on the herf line to review the La Flor Dominicana Air Bender. Darren Powell from Illinois is this month's lucky winner of a black carbon fiber Palio cutter. Thank you to Justin Bill from Illinois for this week's "What's my band?" cigar, the Partegas Havana Cifuentes Y Cia, and to Bryan Newbury from Centro Cigars in Kansas for providing Bob with some great "What else have you been smokin'?" cigars. Don't forget to check out the show at www.livestream.com/cigar_radio where the show is broadcast live most Friday evenings at 9 PM EST. Cigar of the Week - Cain Daytona. A kinder, gentler Cain for cigar smokers that still exhibits lots of outstanding flavors. The CAIN DAYTONA is a medium bodied offering blended using only Jalapa Ligeros. Jalapa Valley is Nicaragua’s northern most tobacco area. It is well known for producing the country’s most medium and smooth fillers and the CAIN DAYTONA takes its flavor profile from this distinct area. I have been smoking these heavily for the last week and I just cannot believe the rich flavors that come with this medium bodied all ligero smoke. Oliva did an outstanding job with this cigar by retaining the character of the much fuller bodied "F," yet softening the body and bringing out the flavors that are harder to get in an F. This is my new favorite Oliva cigar. 5 Sizes: Robusto, 5x50; Corona, 6x46; "60," 6x60; No. 4, 4.5x43 (petite corona); and Torpedo, 6x54. Dark Side - - Saint Luis Rey Regios A classic Cuban cigar that demonstrates that special straw flavor but adds a nice sweet spice throughout the entire smoke. What else have you been smokin' Dale? Graycliff Double Espresso - 4.5" x 54 The Double Espresso is a limited line extension of the Espresso series. Made from tobaccos grown on Graycliff's organic farms in Central America, the tobacco is triple fermented and cured for 12 months. The Double Espresso has an extra "shot" of ligero and is covered in a Costa Rican wrapper. The cigar is very strong yet very smooth, delivering earthy flavors of, what else....coffee! Not much complexity, yet a good cigar for certain occasions if you can stomach the strength. Graycliff Platinum Edition - (same one Bob smoked last week - red & silver band) Didn't measure this bad boy, but a large ring gauge cigar that was not only uncomfortable to hold & smoke, it also wasn't nearly as good as the Double Espresso. Medium strength, full bodied with a lot of spice in the last 3rd. The cigar just didn't have any personality and was not interesting in the least. All Nicaraguan filler tobacco wrapped in a Brazilian leaf. Nowhere near worth the MSRP of $20. Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Superior 6.5" x 42 This example was in the Sun Grown wrapper and delivered tons of Padron goodness! Smooth, earthy, complex and very well balanced. Flavors of mildly sweetened coffee, honey, roasted nuts and light cedar are the core components. This is a cigar worth every penny. What else have you been smokin' Bob? Pinar del Rio Oscuro Corona - Thanks to Bryan Newbury at Centro Cigar in Lawrence, Kansas - This vitola really brings out the best of the line with pepper spices to tingle your tastebuds. Full flavored but not strong, this cigar is a joy to smoke. J Fuego Delirium- Again, thank you to Bryan Newbury for this fine cigar - Sometimes a cigar hits you just right and today the Delirium was just the right cigar for the moment. Full bodied with dark roasted flavors and just a hint of spice. Romeo y Juiliette Anniversary - I was fully prepared not to like this large ring guage implementation of a classic brand but I found it easy to smoke; not challenging to the palate but a nice change-of-pace. What's My Band? - this week's Unbanded Cigar, the Partegas Havana Cifuentes Y Cia, was provided by Justin Bill. March Palio Cutter Contest Winner: Darren Powell from Urbana, Illinois, won the black carbon fiber Palio Cutter. Enter the April contest now to win a Burl Palio Cutter. Check out the show at www.livestream.com/cigar_radio where the show is broadcast live most Friday evenings at 9 PM EST. Do you have a Herf Line Review?

You can reach the Herfline at 321-594-4373 - or cigar.radio on Skype. You can also send email to theshow@cigarmedia.tv. Origin of the term HERF: From Cigar Craig, http://cigarcraig.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/the-origin-of-the-word-herf/ Do you have a suggestion for the unbanded cigar of the week? Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, please send them to liz@cigarmedia.tv.
