I have seen many different suggestions from various vendors suggesting I brew white teas anywhere from 160 degrees F to just short of boiling and usually for 4-5 minutes. However, for me, this usually results in an unpleasant, astringent taste. I have found that a lower temperature around 135-150 degrees and a short steeping time of a minute or less results in a sweeter, stronger, and more savory taste. Any hotter or longer than this and the astringency arrives. I only have a couple of whites, the first is a silver needle and the second is unlabeled (read: cheap). For the record, I am brewing gong fu in a glass gaiwan.
Am I just sensitive, am I high, or are whites really as delicate as they seem to me to be?

Khitomer Massacre
this wiki
The Khitomer Massacre was a Romulan attack on the Klingon colony on Khitomer on stardate 23859.7, in 2346.
The attacking ships, presumed to be Romulan Warbirds, disabled the planetary defense system and initiated a massive orbital bombardment resulting in widescale destruction of the population center and 78% estimated casualties. (TNG: "Sins of the Father")
Nearly all of the 4,000 Klingon colonists there were killed. The attack was engineered by the Klingon traitor Ja'rod, while the Romulan Star Empire was still supposed to be "an ally" of the Klingon Empire. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone", "Sins of the Father") Two years earlier, Romulan forces had already attacked the Klingon outpost on Narendra III. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")
Mogh, father of Worf, was killed in the massacre, but his son was among the colony's few survivors. Worf was rescued by Sergey Rozhenko of the Federation starship USS Intrepid, which was the first ship to respond to the colony's distress call. Worf never forgot the massacre, and hated Romulans for most of his life. (TNG: "Heart of Glory", "Family", "The Enemy")
A small number of Klingons, including L'Kor and Gi'ral, were captured by the Romulans after the attack. They were interrogated for three months, following which the Romulans attempted to exchange the prisoners for territorial concessions. The Klingon High Council refused to accept that Klingons would allow themselves to be captured, and would not negotiate. The Romulans would have executed the prisoners, but Tokath argued successfully that they should be allowed to live. The Romulans placed the Klingons at a remote camp on Carraya IV, under Tokath's charge; there the prisoners and their guards remained, raising families together, forgotten by the outside world until they were discovered by Worf in 2369. Several of the Klingons' children, including Toq, left Carraya with Worf, although to preserve their family honor Worf did not disclose their true origins. He also explained to those leaving with him that they were to keep their parents' secret in order to honor them. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I", "Birthright, Part II")
From 2366 to 2368, Mogh was generally considered among Klingons to have collaborated with the Romulans to enable their attack on Khitomer. In fact, it was the traitor Ja'rod, who gave the colony's defense shield codes to the Romulans, which was, however, covered up by his son, Duras. In 2366, Worf tried to challenge the accusation, but in vain: although Chancellor K'mpec knew that Ja'rod was the traitor, he allowed the lie to stand in order to retain peace within the Klingon Empire, since Duras' family was very powerful. Worf dropped the challenge and accepted discommendation by the Klingon High Council. Only Worf, Duras, K'mpec, Captain Picard and Kurn (Worf's younger brother) knew the truth at this time. (TNG: "Sins of the Father")
After the Klingon Civil War broke out late in 2367, Chancellor Gowron permitted the truth to be revealed, and restored the honor of the House of Mogh. (TNG: "Redemption", "Redemption II")
The Khitomer Massacre was commemorated by an obelisk erected in memory of those who died. (VOY: "Memorial")

A father's job is to love
Happy Father's Day! This is a very special day because fathers play a significant role in the lives of their children. It breaks my heart when I read the birth announcements and there are no fathers mentioned or the couple isn't married and you fear for the upbringing that child is going to have. Will that child be loved by both the father and the mother?
You know from some of my other columns that mine was a close family, but we weren't a "kissy kissy" family. I'm sure the babies got plenty of kisses, but as we grew older we showed our love by services and kindnesses. I think we only kissed if you were going to war or the hospital. Ha! You don't have to be mushy to be affectionate.
There's a lot more to playing the role of the father than affection. The father gives the household stability and security. Of course, he's the role model for who his daughter chooses for a husband. The father has grave responsibilities. He's a mixture of worker and comedian. He has to have a light side as well as a serious side. My father did rap music long before anyone heard of the word. He used to swagger around the dining room table talking in verse. He also made us aware of what was going on in the world. He made us listen to the news and we had a good sense of history.
Our father taught us to be proud of our work as long as it was respectable. We were all good workers. He was a good provider. Thanks to his eagle eye, we had plenty of rabbits and pheasants to eat. He taught us to respect guns, though. They were not toys!
One of the important aspects of his role as husband was that he adored our mother. The first thing he would do when he entered the house was to call her name. She was his security blanket.
I remember when my mother was having a bout of asthma. The doctor said she should go to a hospital in Buffalo. I found my father sitting in the rocking chair crying. He was afraid she was going to die. In those days we didn't run to a doctor for every little thing and we only went to the hospital for serious conditions. Of course, she survived.
I had a good talk with our son Dan earlier in the week. I explained to him that I find it very hard to say "I love you." When he and Rusty were babies and young I used to kiss them every night and say "I love you." But as they got older they were embarrassed by my affections and asked me to cut it out. I did, but I never stopped caring. Dan used to tell me he always knew when he walked into the house and there was a baby on TV, I'd have that special look on my face. I love babies, and so do fathers.
If you are lucky to be a father today, kiss your children, tell them how lucky you are and love them!

More details transpire about the hardware inside the forthcoming Nintendo 3DS portable video game system. The chief executive officer of Marvell Technology, one of the world's largest makers of various application, communication, multimedia and other special-purpose processors, said during the quarterly conference call with financial analysts that one of Marvell Armada processors powers a major new gaming platform.
"Approximately 15% of the sequential increase was due to the initial production revenue from our Armada application processors, primarily as a result of a major customer preparing to launch a new gaming platform," said Sehat Sutardja, chief executive officer of Armada.
While Mr. Sutardja did not directly point to Nintendo 3DS, the latter is the only major company to release a new game platform in the near future. There is a possibility that a new player on the mobile gaming market will roll-out its own game console, but given the market realities, there would have been leaks about the project in advance.
It is unclear which exactly Armada chip is used. One of the likely candidates is Armada 500 that uses ARM v7 CPU core running up to 1.2 GHz, vector floating point (VFP) v3 and 512KB L2 cache, 1080p video decode, 16MT/s/3D graphics, WUXGA LCD resolution support, security acceleration and consumer/embedded oriented I/O's (PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, SDIO, DDR2/DDR3, S-ATA, MIPI CSI and more). Another possibility is usage of lower-power Armada 600 chip that has ARM v7 CPU core at up to 1GHz, VFP v3 and 256KB L2 cache.
Earlier this year it transpired that Nintendo had chosen DMP Pica 200 graphics chip. Exact specifications or expected performance of the DMP Pica 200 graphics processor are unknown, but the developer indicated that the chip includes a proprietary "graphics extension" named Maestro. Besides, DMP said that the GPU features support of complex shaders.
Marvell recently reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, ended July 31, 2010. Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $896 million, a 40% increase from $641 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, ended August 1, 2009, and a 5% sequential increase from $856 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, ended May 1, 2010.
GAAP net income was $220 million, or $0.33 per share (diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with a GAAP net income of $58 million, or $0.09 per share (diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. GAAP net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $206 million, or $0.30 per share (diluted).

Topic: DANGER: rake db:migrate drops the entire database. How to avoid this?
I had a legacy rails app which is working fine against a database.
I am building a new rails app which is aimed at replacing eventually the old legacy app. It runs against the same database.
When I first created the new rails app, I created a first migration to add a new table.
I ran rake db:migrate, and it deleted the entire database with its tens of thousands of records! Thanks god it was in dev environment. And thank god, I managed to restore this entire database (I copied all the migrations from the legacy app to the new app) and reran the entire migrations from scratch.
Now I would like to put my new app in a production environment. How can I run a new migration in production without deleting the entire production database, but just incrementally run the last migration on top of the existing database?
Is there an option, a parameter to pass to the rake db:migrate command to prevent it from deleting the existing database?

Rated 5 out of 5 by AuntieJ Great design This collection is perfect for my pool house. It is sturdy and yet light if it needs to be moved. I particularly like its airy look. The pool house is small and heavier wicker peices would have made it look even smaller. The open rope weave keep the look light and not so ladened down with furniture. For some reason I seem to get a lot of spiders in the pool house and the open rope design gives them no place to nest. I am very pleased and have gotten many comments on their stylish look.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to bring to your attention a special project that is presently taking place in the Pontiac.
The Pontiac CFDC in Campbell's Bay in partnership with Industries Davidson Incorporated and Junior Achievement are offering a unique opportunity to local students at the Pontiac high school in Shawville. Students will replicate an international business by forming student run, joint venture collaborations with another school located in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The Junior Achievement Globe program is a new dynamic high school program that teaches the value of international business and trade. Through this intensive business experience students will learn practical skills necessary to function in today's business market.
Student exchanges are a component of the program and serve to promote cultural understanding.
Permit me to extend our warmest welcome and congratulations to the three student visitors from Jakarta and their student sponsors from the Pontiac high school.

Mr. Speaker, allow me to join all Canadians in congratulating the National Film Board of Canada on its 63rd Oscar nomination received today from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the category of documentary short subject for its production entitled Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square .
Directed by Shui-Bo Wang, this animated short film offers a personal perspective on the sequence of events that led up to the June morning in 1989 when government troops opened fire on student demonstrators in Beijing. Shui-Bo Wang is a Chinese artist who was part of the student demonstration that occupied the square for almost a month. This film was produced for the National Film Board by Don McWilliams, Barrie Angus McLean and David Verrall.
We should also be proud of the National Film Board receiving a technical achievement award later this month. This award honours the work of National Film Board scientists Messrs. Zwaneveld and Gasoi who along with colleagues from the private sector developed a post-production technology known as DigiSync Film Keykode Reader.

The Late Denise Leblanc-Bantey
Statements By Members

Michel Gauthier Roberval, QC
Mr. Speaker, a remarkable person, an ardent sovereignist and promoter of women's rights, Denise Leblanc-Bantey, died yesterday. The Bloc Quebecois wishes to pay tribute to her and thus perhaps dispel some of our sadness at her passing.
Born into a family whose livelihood was fishing, and a teacher by profession, Denise was elected MLA for Îles-de-la-Madeleine for the first time on November 15, 1976. She brought a breath of fresh air to politics, as only someone who hailed from the Islands could do. Re-elected in April 1981, she was appointed Minister of the Public Service with responsibility for the status of women.
Having worked with her in Quebec's National Assembly, I can speak to the exceptionally energetic and dignified manner in which she fulfilled her duties as an MLA and as a minister, as well as her extraordinary ability as a woman to achieve the perfect combination of professionalism, enthusiasm and humanity in both her public and private lives.
Thank you, Denise, and au revoir.
Conscience Rights

Maurice Vellacott Wanuskewin, SK
Mr. Speaker, why is it that the rights of a number of a Canadian nurses have been violated? Some of them have been forced out of jobs for choosing not to participate in abortion procedures or acts of euthanasia.
The rights of freedom of conscience and religion have long been recognized in Canada. So why has this happened to these nurses? Doctors have the right not to participate in abortion procedures and euthanasia, so why not nurses? This is a genuine instance of discrimination.
I have introduced to the House Bill C-461 and I would ask my hon. colleagues and this House to support it. The purpose of that particular bill is to ensure that health care providers will never be forced to participate against their will in procedures such as abortion or acts of euthanasia.
Incredibly there are medical personnel in Canada who have been dismissed because the law is not explicit enough in spelling out their conscience rights. This bill would make those rights explicit.

Mr. Speaker, four unions representing Devco employees met with the Devco president on February 3, 1999 to discuss many details. At the end of this meeting Devco supplied the unions with the employee listings of those who would qualify for pensions and those who would not.
Of the 1,184 employees who have long term service, the list shows that hundreds will not receive pensions. The UMWA list shows 852 members who do not qualify. The CUPE list shows 86 members who do not qualify. The CAW list shows 86 members who do not qualify. The IAM list shows 60 members who do not qualify.
Mr. Drake, the president of the UMWA suggests that "we believe this battle should be recognized across Canada as a reasonable request by reasonable people for fair and just compensation", and we concur.

Jim Jones Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, last Friday I hosted an information breakfast on the year 2000 problem in my riding of Markham. About 100 people joined me to learn how some of the Canadian leading firms are addressing this issue. Whether it was listening to Gary Baker from the Arthur Andersen consulting group, Al Aubry from IBM or Rod Morris from CIBC, breakfast attendees were reassured that the private sector by and large is ready for the millennium bug.
Unfortunately the federal government cannot make that same claim. According to the most recent auditor general's report various important government systems remained at risk as of last June. Furthermore the auditor general concluded that some essential government services may be interrupted at the start of year 2000.
As this is year 2000 awareness week I urge the federal government to follow the lead of the private sector to take stronger and more effective action so that Canadians can easily rest assured about indispensable public services.

Certainly, Mr. Speaker. I do not want to even ask a question about that appalling lack of judgment, so I will ask another one.
Yesterday a new memo marked "secret, no copies" was released from the Privy Council Office to the APEC hearing. It quotes the Prime Minister in his own words promising he would do whatever it took to keep Canadian protesters from embarrassing Suharto.
Is the Prime Minister still saying he had nothing to do with security arrangements at APEC?

Mr. Speaker, I replied to this question many, many times since last fall. There is an ongoing inquiry and it will look at all the facts.

I repeat what I said before. I never discussed security with anybody involved with the security arrangements of this meeting.

Mr. Speaker, in fact there was a new memo, new information released in Vancouver yesterday. Do you know where that is, Mr. Speaker? It is a 20 minute chopper ride south of Whistler.
It quotes the Prime Minister in his own words. He begged Suharto to come. He promised he would use whatever it took to suppress the protesters. He even bragged about how he had done it before for the Chinese premier. It is all out in the open right now.
Why is he so stubborn that he still refuses to accept responsibility even now that he is caught?
Apec Inquiry
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, there is an inquiry into the incident. The commission will start to hear all the witnesses and look at what happened in Vancouver, at whether the police acted properly or not.
If it needs to ask more questions, we said that everybody in my office and in the government is available. Let the commission look into the facts and do not draw conclusions before knowing the facts, as the hon. member is very good at doing.
Apec Inquiry

2:15 p.m.
Deborah Grey Edmonton North, AB
Mr. Speaker, there is really only one witness who could probably tell the whole story.
In all these major issues—the Somalia inquiry, hepatitis C, child pornography and APEC—the Prime Minister is always more concerned about how he looks than in doing what is right. How far is he willing to go? If he is subpoenaed to the inquiry, will he refuse to go there too?

Comments like, "I have to run at heart rate," drive me nuts! Is it necessary to wire our bodies up to get in peak condition? Aren't heart-rate monitors for the hospital?
—Tom LaPorte, Hartland, WI
Having coached hundreds of athletes, I can tell you the majority agree with you; most runners simply don't bother with a heart-rate monitor. There are benefits to having more data, however. Most athletes and coaches realize that the more data you have the better informed you are—that which gets measured gets managed.
To your point, training should be more like play than work. As endurance coach Ben Greenfield of BenGreenfieldFitness.com puts it, "Sometimes you just need to unplug." For most of us running is not a profession, and overwhelming data points increase the stress of just hitting the trails to relax and enjoy nature.
For those wary of the gadgets, Greenfield suggests a moderate approach, where the athlete tracks his numbers, but doesn't stress about them daily. "I'm a huge fan of racing by feel, but doing some training with a monitor, so you're able to tap in and quantify every now and again."
Once you learn your zones—which does require some time with the HR strap on—you are better able to maintain an appropriate pace while racing. Greenfield adds that this approach keeps athletes "from getting confused by the effects that adrenaline, caffeine, heat and other variables can have on heart rate during a race."
On the other hand, many great runners run by feel and perceived exertion. If that approach keeps you happily improving, it's hard to argue with that.

Checking In with Geoff Roes in Juneau
Why the champion ultrarunner is spending the summer running free rather than racing

As several speedy and dramatic ultras unfolded earlier this summer, champion ultra trail-runner Geoff Roes deliberately missed out on the action. Instead of racing with the elite field, he immersed himself in the wilderness around his home in Juneau, Alaska, where he lives when not residing in his other home state of Colorado.
I interviewed Roes, 36, in late July while attending one of the Alaska Mountain Ultrarunning Camps that he and his girlfriend, Corlé LaForce, host for a dozen runners during six-day sessions. (For more on what his camp is like, check the website or this story and photos.)
We sat and talked near the entrance to Rainbow Foods, the natural grocery store where Roes was featured working in a scene from the film Unbreakable: The Western States 100, which documented his course-record-setting win in 15:07 against three other stellar 100-mile runners (Hal Koerner, Anton Krupicka and Kilian Jornet) in the 2010 Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run.
Roes's other achievements include the course record at the 2009 Wasatch 100-Mile Endurance Run and a win at last year's inaugural Ultra Race of Champions (UROC) 100K. Early this year, he won the men's foot-race division of the 350-mile Iditarod Invitational in Alaska.
Roes took time to explain what he's been up to, how he feels these days about racing, and why he's having one of his best summers ever.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 27, 2008) - After three rounds of elimination play, two U.S. women's beach volleyball teams have advanced to the semifinals of this week's SWATCH FIVB World Tour event in Stavanger Norway on Vaagen Harbour.
Unfortunately, the U.S. team of top-seeded Misty May-Treanor (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh (Santa Clara, Calif.) will have to play their compatriots, eighth-seeded Jen Boss (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.), the defending ConocoPhillips Grand Slam champions, in Saturday's semifinal.
Meanwhile, four U.S. men's beach teams have advanced from pool play to the elimination round.
The 10th annual ConocoPhillips Grand concludes Sunday with the men's semifinal and men's and women's medal matches. The winning teams will each share the $43,500 first-place prizes.
May-Treanor and Walsh scored wins over teams from Cuba and Brazil on Friday to net their 51st SWATCH FIVB World Tour semifinal appearance in 58 international beach volleyball starts together since 2001.
With May-Treanor and Walsh's 21-15, 21-12 win in 31 minutes over sixth-seeded Talita Antunes and Renata Ribeiro of Brazil, they improved their SWATCH FIVB World Tour match winning streak to 60 as the reigning Olympic champions have won 72 of their last 73 international matches since November 2006.
With the 2008 ConocoPhillips Grand Slam being their fourth appearance together in Norway, May-Treanor and Walsh will be looking for their first Norwegian title after placing fourth, second and third in three previous events.
"We want the sword," May-Treanor said Wednesday. "Since this is our last FIVB event before the Olympics, we feel it is important to finish our travels the past three weeks with our first title in Norway. This is a great venue and the people of Norway are excellent hosts."
Boss and Ross advanced to their fourth SWATCH semifinal in 16 FIVB events with a 16-21, 21-19, 15-11 win in 54 minutes over 19th-seeded Stephanie Pohl and Okka Rau of Germany. May-Treanor and Walsh lead the overall series with Boss and Ross 12-1, including 4-0 on the SWATCH circuit.
The second-seeded U.S. women's team of Nicole Branagh (Orinda, Calif.) and Elaine Youngs (El Toro, Calif.), the silver medalists in last week's Grand Slam event in Paris, lost in the third round to Greece's 12th-seeded Vasiliki "Vasso" Karantasiou and Vasiliki Arvaniti, 21-16, 16-21, 15-13. Karantasiou and Arvaniti knocked out the U.S. team of Tyra Turner (Fort Myers Beach, Fla.) and Rachel Wacholder (Laguna Beach, Calif.) out of the competition in the second round, 13-21, 20-22.
With a U.S. team guaranteed a spot in a SWATCH women's gold-medal match for the fifth-straight week, the bottom half of the bracket will feature fifth-seeded Shelda Bede and Ana Paula Connelly of Brazil against Arvaniti and Karadassiou of Greece.
On the men's side, top-seeded Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) and Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.), seventh-seeded Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Casey Jennings (Las Vegas, Nev.) and 11th-ranked Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) all advanced straight from pool play to the third round.
Stein Metzger (Honolulu, Hawai'i) and Mark Williams (Los Angeles, Calif.), ranked 14th, will have to play Norway's 10th-ranked Björn Maaseide and Iver Andreas Horrem on Saturday in the first round after going 2-1 in pool play.
