Two successful former MCC students who started businesses:
Tea/Coffee shop
Mutual Fund
Lush Coffee and Tea; www.mylushcoffee.com; Sonya Ziegler
Drive-thru Coffee, Loose Leaf Tea, Espresso & fresh fruit Lushies. Set right on the main drag of Vista Way/Vista Village Drive only a block from Brengle Terrace Park. Even the daily espresso beans are organic at Lush Coffee & Tea, and that takes us back to a time before pesticides and growth hormones were a pesky bother. They offer a drive-up sniff bar where travelers can inhale the nuances of various loose leaf tea before they drive away with drink in hand.

It’s an idea that came out of nowhere, says former paralegal and Navy wife Lisa Diaz about her business that sells jewelry, trendy sweaters, pretty dresses, posh accessories and more in the name of those who serve their country.
Stationed for nearly eight years in remote Lemoore with her pilot husband and two children, Diaz wanted a career in fashion, one in which she could work from anywhere and take anywhere.
She also wanted a business in which she could enlist the help of military wives such as herself, women whose careers take a back seat to that of their ever-relocating husbands, women who live in places where jobs are hard to come by.
Enter Homecoming Trunk Shows LLC, a business that follows the Tupperware-esque, direct-sales approach of such popular enterprises as Pampered Chef —- only with fun, frilly and wallet-friendly fashion.

As their final projects flickered to life on the projector screen in June Porto’s evening class Dec. 13, the students of MiraCosta College‘s Computer Science 134 saw seven weeks of work on display.
To an outsider, they may have looked like rudimentary Android applications —- a handful of games, a 3-D modeling app, a program to track a runner’s times and distances —- but to Porto, each project was a glimpse of the future.
“When you see the apps, the thing that’s the most amazing to me … is the amount of code that’s behind this working mechanism,” said Porto. “It’s unbelievable. They’ve spent a lot of time writing code, learning the Android way of doing things, researching as you would in an advanced class. It’s been a lot of work for them.”
Porto said this was the first semester that the college offered its new “mobile device application” course, and that 57 students showed up on the first day, hoping to crash a class that could only fit 24.
This fall semester Jill Malone’s digital imaging & illustration class (MAT 170) had the opportunity to design a wine bottle label for a local winery in the Del Mar/Carmel Valley area. Del Mar Mesa Vineyard is a private boutique winery that often donates wine to auctions and fund-raising events for such organization as the San Diego Alzheimer’s Foundation. Marsha Mooradian, owner of Del Mar Mesa Vineyard, spoke to Jill Malone’s digital imaging class in October about designing a professional label for the hundreds of Maison de Mooradian bottles of wine that the Mooradians produce annually. Jill’s students immediately latched onto the project, and the results were exceptional. The Mooradians were extremely pleased with the students’ designs, and selecting the top three was no easy task. Here are the three designs that were ultimately selected. Can you determine which design won first, second and third place?

Whether you like it grilled, broiled, or pan-fried, rare, medium, or well done; in your backyard or at a restaurant, the burger is one of the most iconic symbols of American culture. From McDonald’s and Carl’s Jr., to Burger King and Wendy’s, our favorite fast food joints have been dishing out these meaty and cheesy delights for decades and we foodies have been gluttonously eating them up. However, the tried and true burger joint is so much more than the newest triple-decker bacon burger to come down the fast food pike.
