The higher the grade the greener the DC is, just like TGY from Anxi. These are both high aroma tea, and roasting will take away those delicate favor. Roasting and oxidation is only for long storage intension. High grade DC and TGY might have under 10% of oxidation and no roasting at all.
TIM, is this a fairly recent trend for DC (as with TGY), because of the trend for "greener" teas in general?
This is very interesting indeed. I would not have known this for DC.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Pixy314 Worst Maple Syrup Was so looking forward to receiving and trying this maple syrup, but it had no flavor.

I wanted to go for a different container, sophisticated and boxed. My astute 9 year thought they needed a glass cabin instead. Yesterday we got a funny postcard photo from them, showing how much they loved it! January 10, 2013

looseTman wrote:Hi MacGuffin,
Our primary purpose for a scale is to accurately measure the needed quantity for a cup or pot of tea. A larger capacity scale is obviously more useful and also less likely to be damaged by too much weight. For several years, we've typically purchased 1-2 lbs. or 500g - 1kg of our favorite teas at a time to take advantage of quantity discounts.... the Triton which, as far as I can remember, has never turned itself off while in use.
"That sounds encouraging."
We're on the same page re quantity, etc. That's what made me decide on the Triton rather than a much cheaper pocket model with less capacity that I saw for sale on eBay that a Chinese blogger used (I recognized it from photos he'd posted; the blog was dedicated to puerh).
"I understand:"The Durascale does have an auto-off feature so after about 30 seconds of no activity the scale would shut off.
"Is that typically enough time for weighing loose tea?
DEFINITELY. I put a cha he (they average about 100 g) on the platform, tare it, and then measure my tea. It just takes a few seconds. I always have to shut the scale off manually but then, what's involved is at hand before I turn the scale on--no sense in running batteries longer than necessary.They don't answer their phone (even on your dime), don't respond to messages, and can't be bothered with e-mail. A shame because I like the MW scales I own.
"That's definitely not appealing especially if one is considering one of their more expensive models."
Well, fortunately, I haven't had any problems with their scales. The one time I contacted them, I was planning to buy a refurb (a kitchen scale) and wanted to know if it was covered by any sort of warranty. They never responded, I bought the scale and then reviewed it on Amazon. I very accurately stated that the scale performed fine (and still does) but that My Weigh's customer support sucked. I was rather surprised that readers took the time to comment to the effect that they'd had similar experiences. Review and comments all earned one negative vote apiece; I like to think they were from My Weigh. Again, my scales have both performed perfectly. I recently knocked the little Triton to the floor, breaking its hinges and my heart (thank goodness for airplane glue). I continue to kick myself for my stupidity but it still performs like a champ. It's inexpensive so I'm considering keeping the damaged one in my office at school and buying another for home.
"- Does Old Will Knot Scales provide the needed customer support for WM scales?"
I don't know but you could call them and express your concerns. As I mentioned previously, he states on his site that he only carries scales that perform to his satisfaction. Since he carries both of the MW models I own, that went a long way towards establishing creds for me, regardless of who actually sells the scales. I'm pretty sure you can take his endorsement to the bank.And that's a cute little scale
"- To which scale are referring - the MW DuraScale D2 660 g x 0.1 g ?"
No, the other that tops out at a kilo.
My pleasure! I've picked (and will continue to pick) others' brains on my tea journey and am happy to help if I can offer constructive advice.

Part III: Working to make Emery County a better place
Green River is one of the smallest towns in Emery County, but the people in Green River have big hearts. They are always willing to give and share what they have with others. One group of caring and sharing individuals can be found at the Epicenter. Just what is an Epicenter you might say. Well it is the center of the seismic activity in an earthquake and Maria Sykes said some people call them the Epic-center, which in this case would mean epic things are happening here and they are.
The Epicenter is filled with young, smart and enthusiastic movers and shakers that call Green River home. Their goal during their time here is to make Green River the best Green River that it can be. Their ideas and unique perspectives feed the many projects the Epicenter has been involved with since its inception a few short years ago.
Chris Lezama came to the Epicenter as an AmericorpVista member last year. When his stint with Americorp was over he decided to stay on in Green River. He listed unfinished projects and future projects as his motivation to stay and push things along. "My interests lie in economic development and developing a housing plan for Green River. We were very successful in evaluating and assessing all of the housing available in Green River. It's a fluid plan and gives us an idea of where Green River stands as far as available housing goes. We take direction from Green River City on the information they would like gathered. The housing plan information is useful for the utilities, schools and the city as a whole," said Lezama.
Lezama is interested in community development and economic development. He is in close contact with Mike McCandless the Emery County Economic Development Director as they explore projects that could be a benefit to Green River. "We are very excited about our business group. We've nicknamed it the potluck group, because everyone brings something different to the table. The group is made up of business people from Green River. We don't drive the group, but we are part of the group and we hold the meetings here at the Epicenter and help the group to address issues and concerns. We meet every other Thursday at 1 p.m. and anyone that's interested is welcome to attend. The largest meeting we had was with 21 people. Hopefully everyone that participates is contributing and gaining something from the experience," said Lezama.
Sykes said, "The group helps to increase the communication in the town so everyone is on the same page. We want to increase tourism and promote Green River as a destination. We've developed the Destination Green River website. The networking at these meetings is very important so these ideas can grow. Green River has specific assets unique to Green River. We want to capitalize and promote what's good about Green River. The day trip brochures were also a product of the potluck group. These brochures show great day trips that begin in Green River and explore the local area. They are an example of the group getting things done."
Lezama said he works at the Green River Community Center along with the Epicenter. Lezama likes the small town feel of Green River and getting to know everyone in the town. Small things can really make a big difference in Green River. I like being a part of things. It's easier to get involved and have a voice in a small town like Green River. I really love the terrain here. It's so different from where I grew up in the Bay area of California. Here instead of being surrounded by an ocean, we're surrounded by an ocean of sand."
Lezama is very humble, but his colleagues call him a thinker and he puts a lot of thought and hard work into everything he does.
"I really think Green River is heading in the right direction. A better Green River means a lot of different things to different people. But, I think we have a real connection and we're working together. A lot can happen when you start working together," said Lezama.
Sykes has a background in architecture. She attended Auburn University with Jack Fornash, another member of the Epicenter team. Sykes views Green River as a rural studio where anything can happen. She feels as a member of society, it's important to share your talents and education for the benefit of others. "I always wanted to do something a little different with my education. Coming to Green River as an Americorps Vista member was different. I came in June of 2009 and was originally going to stay for the summer. But, I'm still here. I feel like I have something to contribute. We started renovating the building we are in now and I attended Melon Days and I thought, wow, I like it here. I felt apart of the community. I've been here for three and a half years now and I think the support that we've received is really what keeps me here. Every project we've been involved with has had tremendous support. We're currently finishing up the first Habitat for Humanity house in Green River. We've had more that 100 volunteers who've helped. That's just one example of the things we can do here. It's very satisfying work. I really like working with people. I really liked the mystique of coming out west. I'm from Alabama and coming out west with all the history was exciting. I've really enjoyed learning about it. My parents are from Louisiana, but I was born in California and have lived in Missouri and southern Alabama. Jack is from Northern Alabama, and northern and southern Alabama are very different. I studied architecture and design. I am very interested in community development. The arts are very important. I think of the art classes I have taken and they have helped shape my personality. One of the things we've been able to help with is bringing in artists and increasing activities that have to do with the arts at the schools and in the afterschool programs. We've had interns from the high school that are interested in photography and illustration help with some of our projects. This gives us an opportunity to share our knowledge and celebrate our talents with the students here.
"The kids here are very interested in art. In one of the surveys that Chris took of the students and their interests they listed art right up there with sports. We think that's great so we are doing what we can to encourage the arts. We want the students to know you can get a degree in the arts or be a designer and come from a small town.
"Another project that's come from the potluck group is the redesign of the billboards at the freeway exits. The design for them is almost complete and they will be fresh and new, we're excited about that. This potluck group has been a way for us to get to know the business owners to and for them to get to know us. It's increased our perspective on what the business owners want for Green River. It's really increased the communication," said Sykes.
Lezama has been impressed with the willingness of everyone in the potluck group to share their talents. Keith Brady has a talent for social media and he's helping to get the word out on Green River. "Green River's kind of isolated, but with social media and I-phones we can broadcast Green River through social media. Like with Ray's Tavern, we can get the word out on the restaurants in the area. The Emery County Travel Bureau is developing an app for Emery County which lists the lodging and restaurants and you can get that information from anywhere with your I-phone. I love this sharing of information and ideas. With the design of the new billboards, Keith brought in his ideas and everyone critiqued them and he implemented the changes," said Lezama.
These volunteers don't know how long they'll be staying in Green River. Sykes said she's always had the number of five years in the back of her mind and she's been here three years now. "As long as people like what we're doing and we feel like we're making an impact here, I can't imagine leaving. I'm proud of what we've done. This summer we had two new volunteers join us and it's like they brought a breath of fresh air. Ashley and Armando came and people are choosing to come here. Nice, smart people. If it's always like that then I want to be here.
"Our next project will be working with weatherization and improvements to single family dwellings with critical home repair. This project is partially funded and we are moving forward. We will start with small projects like roof repairs, installation of grab bars and other improvements that will help the elderly to stay in their homes longer and increase their quality of life. We've already received some applications and we will process more. We will be doing most of the work ourselves with construction managers and also some volunteer groups. Habitat for Humanity also has a program where they will get together and clean up a house. We are going to start with any needy elderly in our community. The microloans will be for $1,500 to get a project completed and then people will pay the loan back. We like to think of this as a hand-up. These improvements will help lower energy bills and make homes safer," said Sykes.
Ashley Ross comes to the group from New York, by way of Colorado. She came on a one month Fellowship and decided to stay. "I love assisting people. Right now I am helping people sign up for HEAT, Angel Tree, food stamps and programs like that. I've also been involved with the fellowship workshops at the high school. I came here the beginning of June as an Americorp Vista member. One of the artists that came presented a workshop on book binding. The artists will hold two day workshops and will work with the schools one day and then host a nighttime program for adults and anyone that might be interested in attending. We've had an embroidery workshop and an illustration workshop. The students there made posters to advertise the Christmas bazaar. We screen printed T-shirts one time too. This gives me an opportunity to use both my background in art and sociology. The students are really interested and have enjoyed the workshops," said Ross. She has made a lot of new friends in her short time in Green River saying she's never lived in a town this small before, but she's loving it.
Lezama said activities at the afterschool program have included cooking classes and art lessons.
Conae Black is the Green River City treasurer and she works closely with the Epicenter. "I am grateful for the Americorp Vista volunteers and the opportunity it gives our community to have these talented young adults come to Green River. I am thankful they have chosen to stay in Green River. We are fortunate to have them here. We are the recipients of their gifts, talents, their youthful exuberance and their experience. They have brought a new perspective to our community. They have made sacrifices to be here. Green River has a ton of potential, sometimes things are stagnant and as a community we can't let that happen. We need to always be growing and improving as a community. These new fresh faces can help push things along and give us a vision of what we can be. They give us hope and with hope comes new ideas and dreams for our town. They are putting their lives on hold as they provide their unique gifts and talents for the benefit of the Green River community," said Black.
The Epicenter team is unique and each one brings something special to the table.
They have become more than co-workers they are friends as they work for the common goal of helping Green River move into the future. The Epicenter volunteers said, "We are a small part of a bigger picture. We are happy, fortunate and grateful to be part of this community. It's a good place to be."

Ditto auntliddy, no and no – not cool at all.ReplyCancel
Well, I don't have kids, I don't drink, and I have no desire to do pot (I tried it years ago, and could not detect any effect it was having on me other than making me cough,) so it's a really moot question.ReplyCancel
I don't think smoking anything in front of kids is a good idea, but you'll pry dinnertime glass of wine from cold, dead hands.ReplyCancel
It is legal here, and no – I wouldn't smoke in front of kids. I don't think they should be subjected to secondhand smoke. I will drink a glass of wine or beer in front of kids, but won't get drunk in front of them. The difference is one has a secondary effect on people in the vicinity, and the other doesn't.ReplyCancel
I don't have kids and if I did, I wouldn't smoke anything in front of them. I do think it's a good thing to drink in moderation in front of kids to set an example of responsible drinking behavior. If they're used to seeing their parents with a glass of wine a or a beer with dinner, it's less of a forbidden fruit later on.ReplyCancel
Pot IS legal here in Washington state. I don't know any parents who would smoke it in front of their kids. No way. But I suppose something like socioeconomics would dictate who would allow kids to that type of exposure. Ive certainly got friends in low places, but I guess not that low?ReplyCancel
I don't smoke but am for the legalization of marijuana. If I did I wouldn't do it in front of my kids. I know that will sound hypocritical based on my next statement but it is how I feel.
I drink very infrequently (one drink, 2-3 times a year) and have done so in front of my teenage daughter. I used to never drink in front of her, but then read an article about giving kids an example of people who do drink, but never to excess.ReplyCancel
Obviously young children is never a good thing but an adult, responsible child, sure. My dad came clean to me at about 17 and it made our relationship better. Opened the lines of communication and all that good stuff.ReplyCancel
I would have a glass of wine or a beer in front of the kids at a wedding or something, but they've never seen me drunk.
I'd only use a vaporizer if the kids were gone on a weekend.
My dad smoked in front of me growing up and was offering it to me by 15. Really shitty parenting.
I don't have kids so I'd smoke away!ReplyCancel
It's legal here and I have no kids!!ReplyCancel
My feeling is that if you have to hide something you're doing from your kids then you probably shouldn't be doing it.
IF I smoked pot I wouldn't do it in the same room with them but I wouldn't hide the fact that I did it from them. My parents did that with me and all it does is breed mistrust. It teaches them to go behind your back. I'd rather know what my hypothetical kids are doing.
As far as alcohol goes a glass or two is no big deal to drink in front of kids. Although I'd never get drunk in front of my hypothetical kids.ReplyCancel
1) No.
2) 1-2 beers if I'm at a party w/ my son or with a meal I just grilled up. I did get liquored up at a wedding with him once, but it was walking distance from the hotel and I didn't get sloppy.ReplyCancel
This is so interesting to me because there are so many people in my world with children who are all into smoking pot. They all do it on the dl, but I feel like that just makes everyone a big ole' hypocrite. For me, if I need to hide a behavior (other than sexay times) from my kid, then I'm not being the best mom I could be. I am not and never have been into pot. Not even when I was a young, impressionable 18-year-old in the 90s and EVERYONE smoked pot. The same people who I mention above always tell me I "MUST" try pot. Eyeroll. It's like they're totally judging me that I'm not on the pot bandwagon. Honestly, the whole marijuana thang just makes me feel like I'm in high school again. And I'm pushing 40!! People get so immature as they age.
I do drink wine in front of my son. I love my wine. And, I hope my son loves to appreciate wine when he's at the right age.
I just wonder about parents who smoke on the dl. That includes pot and ciggies. Don't you think you're kids are going to figure it out? Kids are not that dumb.
Oh well, to each his own.ReplyCancel
"Hypothetical" kids being the key words here. If/when u have kids and its legal to smoke, I think your position on smoking in front of them will probably change- maybe not-ReplyCancel
I grew up in a house with an alcoholic. Yeah, I learned to stay out of kicking distance when dad smelled funny.
I don't do either at all, so I don't have to "hide" it. To each their own though.
Normally I go to the extra effort to make sure I don't smoke cigarettes or weed in the vicinity of children, but this weekend was a different story. If you bring your 4 children <6yo to a DMB Caravan and sit them in the crowd on the lawn that's on you.ReplyCancel
Pot is legal here in WA and I have a med marijuana card. My son is 18 and he does smoke pot, but I still don't vape in front of him. He knows I do, and has walked by my bedroom when I do and it's no big deal but I still am private about it. As for drinking, there's nothing wrong with drinking in moderation in front of the kid, wine at dinner or a cocktail if we're out to eat (this is my husband I don't really drink) and I actually think it's better to do in front of the kid hide it so the kid learns MODERATION. In Europe parents drink wine at dinner all the time, and I think they don't have as many alcoholic poisoning and binge drinking as we do.ReplyCancel
Oh yeah! Totes! I plan to always get blasted around my future kiddos! It keeps their expectations and dreams in check, while keeping my obliterated enough that I can almost forget their very existence!!! If I'm lucky enough, we can even end up the next big family of GANJAPRENEURS!!! California needs it's very own "family of pot!"ReplyCancel
I am a fellow Washington stater and I voted for legalization. I am not a big drinker, but my 3-year old has seen me have a beer or hard cider at bbq's or family get-togethers and she knows it's for grown-ups, just like coffee. I do not drink liquor in general save for the VERY occasional mixed drink at adult only gatherings, but I would not do so in my home because my tolerance is really low and as a responsible parent, I cannot in good conscious render myself that incapable of handling an emergency situation as I would be if I drank hard liquor and my daughter needed me to be a present parent. That said, I have always been of the mindset that kids are gonna do what they're gonna do whether you tell them no or not, so the best thing I can do is inform her of her decisions and hope she makes good choices, as well as hope against hope that she realizes that I will always be there for her if she DOES over-indulge and do so without judgment.
As for pot… Pot SHOULD BE regulated as strictly as alcohol, and there are numerous studies that indicate that a child who smokes or inhales or otherwise imbibes THC too early (pre-20/21) has an increased chance for decreased brain function and growth. I don't buy the "gateway drug" bullshit, but someone should be old enough to understand the possible effects of smoking too much, too young, and understand that long-term THC consumption can have negative effects on brain function. Alcohol is just as bad in certain respects, and in fact I enjoy pot more than booze, and responsible consumption is key.
Back to the question, my daughter has never seen me imbibe pot and I plan to keep it that way until she's much older, but having both smoked and drank, I would be all sorts of hypocritical if I didn't talk to her about it and tell her "yes, I've done it, this is what it's about, and this is what you need to know should you make that choice for yourself" – I don't think smoking anything in front of kids is a good idea though, mostly because it's unattractive and doesn't impart the image id like to project to my kiddo.ReplyCancel
Why wasn't I invited to this, brea? Rude 🙁ReplyCancel
I've always been open with the joeys about smoking, pot, drinking , sex etc. my 17 year old came home from a concert & TOLD me that her & her friends had smoked some dope. It wasn't much ( she said!) & she definitely wasn't stoned. We talked about it, etc, but I didn't see the big deal. (other than she's 17 & therefore illegal). I think if you make it a huge 'sky falling down' issue , the more attractive it becomes.
Oh yeah legal here , not to 17 year olds obvs.
Veronica- hmm, also grew up with alcoholic, but no physical abuse. But i dont drink, my husband doesnt, and while i didnt do that on purpose, i dont guess it was an accident either. My inhappy memories are of the idiotic fights my parents wld have while HE was drunk and she wasnt. Even as a kid i used to think, why is she trying to have a rational conversation with someone who isnt rational. Very unpleasant memories.ReplyCancel
The only reason I wouldn't smoke in front of kids is because they could get a contact high. Drinking in front of them is different.ReplyCancel
Prob not a popular answer, but I do sneak the occasional toke when I have some time to myself! It is legal here, I am a mom if 3, and I do smoke, but never in front of my kids… I have drank mimosa's in front of kids if having brunch, hubby drinks beer in front of kids also. I always drive if he has been drinking tho. I never have more than 2 drinks unless kids are gone overnight!ReplyCancel
My 17 year old just told me she just smoked her first.ReplyCancel
I put on wrong thread but I said basically it's hard to believe everyone here really has only had one drink in front of kids. I mean come on. Holidays stuff like that? Not all nut certainly a third glass happens once in a a while.ReplyCancel
I smoke Every single night, just not in front of them. . there's a DARE program here in the schools that teaches them of the dangers of drugs. When theyre older we'll be able to explain the difference between "drugs" and "pot"ReplyCancel
I don't get shit-faced in front of children. If parents are stupid enough to bring their kids into a sports bar, for instance, then the onus is on them. Either accept that drunken sports fans are going to act like jackasses or keep your kids elsewhere. In short, kids don't belong in bars. Period.ReplyCancel
Violet, Right?!ReplyCancel
"In Europe parents drink wine at dinner all the time, and I think they don't have as many alcoholic poisoning and binge drinking as we do."
This is complete crap courtesy of the American Inferiority Complex. (Oh those Yurps are just soo much better than we are.)
That being said, drinking alcohol responsibly is one of the joys of civilization that is ruined by barbarians throughout the world.
I tried a pot brownie this weekend and never again.We'd go through a green light(sober driver) and I'd turn my head and see we're going thought the same set of lights.Then when i was home alone, i stayed in the bathroom. One point I was going through a religious experience I guess..haha. Said I wasn't ready to go and felt a squeeze on my shoulder. I didn't get to sleep til about 8 a.m with the help of an ativan. Never again. I'm not a person who likes to lose control and I had. Sorry for the long post.ReplyCancel
ETA: My son is anti drug and would be shocked by what i did. He'll never know.ReplyCancel
It's true and not true. The statistics surrounding alcohol related deaths in the US vs Europe indicate that more US citizens die of closer alcohol related deaths (drunk driving, binge drinking) while more European citizens die of alcohol-related illnesses (cirrhosis, cancer). The working theory deals with our higher age limits and sometimes puritanical approach to alcohol.
I personally have never understood how someone can be 18 years old, buy cigarettes, vote for president, die for their country, but can't have a legal glass of wine or a beer. It mystifies alcohol and turns it into forbidden fruit.ReplyCancel
Pot is legal in Seattle where I live. Answer: I don't view it ant differently than smoking in front of children, which is something I wouldn't do to growing lungs.ReplyCancel
I've never smoked, but I think it must be really hard to tell your kids not to smoke if you smoke in front of them the whole time they're growing up. All of my brothers and my sister started smoking really, really young. My mom would bitch at them for stealing her cigarettes, but it was more important for her to be their buddy than parent.
If a kid grows up in a house where adults are smoking every day they grow up thinking it's normal and ok. All of my sister's kids smoke, none of mine do.
We drank in front of our kids when they were growing up, but it was a special occasion thing, not a daily thing.ReplyCancel
Oh, and no I would never smoke pot in front of my kids no matter how old they were.ReplyCancel
As I said, I knew it would sound hypocritical of me. The main reason is the 2nd hand smoke issue. If I have a drink in front of her there is nothing that rubs off on her. If I smoke in front of her there is 2nd hand exposure.ReplyCancel
Why would so many people jump to post on this thread only to say they don't do either? Hella useless to the discussion yo. It would be like me commenting on all those t.v shows people go one about here that I've never watched…smh.ReplyCancel

Soft Faux Leather
"Beautiful tote, you won't be disappointed with the look and style of this bag. This is my first purchase from the Melie Bianco collection. I'm impressed with the style and look of quality in this bag. Hopefully, I will get years of use out this bag and feel quite comfortable in the future buying from the Melie Bianco collection again. Last year, I purchased a Kelly and Katie satchel in bright red faux leather - very disappointed with the leather cracking on handles and pulling away from the handbag. I will never purchase another Kelly and Katie handbag again."

Melie Bianca Dandies Tote
"I am so happy with this bag! Just the right size for shopping trips. All the pockets carry my usual things and the roomy inside will hold small packages. I am especially excited about taking this on vacation when you always seem to need those extra little things you do not normally carry with you. Plus all the design features give it a real WOW factor."

Everything and More!
"Had been eyeballing this bag for almost a year and then it went on sale on top of sale and finally gave in; got this right before the holidays to go with my edgier boots and heels and am so glad I did! It is just fabulous! The size is absolutely perfect, without being too large or small. I am 5'3" and 107 lbs and it does not "wear" me. :) The tassel and hardware are edgy without being too trendy or ridonkulous; kept classy yet fashionable. It feels like real leather and is soft but not totally floppy. One nice thing about it is that it is actually a convertible wing tote; the middle unsnaps allowing the sides to flare out if you need more room. It hangs very nicely on the arm and really is just a great all around buy; love Melie Bianco!"

Great purse!
"I really like the grey- but it is more of a beige color. Lots of storage compartments, great quality, and I have received a few compliments already. The only things I would change are the interior color and only one strap instead of two. Oh, and get expedited shipping. It took 2 weeks for me to receive it with standard!!"

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Proverbs 23:15-24:5
My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad. My soul will rejoice when your lips speak what is right. Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the LORD all the day. Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off. Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your mind in the way. Be not among winebibbers, or among gluttonous eaters of meat; for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags. Hearken to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when she is old. Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who begets a wise son will be glad in him. Let your father and mother be glad, let her who bore you rejoice. My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. For a harlot is a deep pit; an adventuress is a narrow well. She lies in wait like a robber and increases the faithless among men. Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who tarry long over wine, those who go to try mixed wine. Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder. Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind utter perverse things. You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast. "They struck me," you will say, "but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I will seek another drink." Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them; for their minds devise violence, and their lips talk of mischief. By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is mightier than a strong man, and a man of knowledge than he who has strength.

Genesis 6:5-7New International Version (NIV)
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, "I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them."

Overlooking the city of Florence from the Michelangelo Piazza. We had a wonderfully clear crisp March day, perfect for photography.

If you have a Twitter account, you no doubt have received a spammed DM or seen public spammy tweets promising quick and easy ways to get 10,000s of new followers overnight.
Amazing but true!
Well, the spammy part is true, at least.
I'm here to tell you the real secret magic formula for growing your Twitter network. So, sshhhh! Keep it a secret just between you and me, okay?
Follow other Twitter accounts. Most people will follow you back if you follow them. Look for people in your geographical area — like using NearbyTweets — or those who share professional and personal interests. WeFollow is a good tool for that, or simply Search Twitter. If you read blogs, more often than not, the author will have a link to his/her Twitter account.
Also, many business and brand accounts will follow you back if you follow them — at least the social and smart business Twitter accounts will. 😉
Be interesting. (I heard Guy Kawasaki say that once during a Webinar.) What that means is tweet links that others may like. If you have an observation, strange thought, or quip, tweet it out. For other tips from Kawasaki, see his blog.
@ people and brands you follow. That is, start a conversation or reply to questions or comments they tweet. That gets you noticed (if they are not following you already), and shows you are paying attention to them. Also, if you have a compliment for a company and its on Twitter, make sure you @ the company's Twitter handle to ensure it will see it. Remember, a lot of social media is about the E.
Participate in Twitter chats. There are Twitter chats for many, if not most industries and interests on Twitter. They typically have a set hashtag and chat regularly. You can find them by searching Twitter for a key word or two. Ones I've joined in include #blogchat, started by Mack Collier; #HireFriday, started by Margo Rose; #MoparChat, started by @MoparUnlimited; and #Motorama, started by Berry Lowman.
Amplify others and participate in #FF. #FF is simply followFriday — when you give a public tweet-out to those you follow and encourage others to follow them as well. While some tweeple may just give a #FF and the Twitter handles, it helps to give a word or few about why the people you #FF are worth following. Also, retweet (a/k/a RT) others' tweets you like. Help spread their good word, and you'll be seen as someone who contributes to the greater Twitter community.
Make time to tweet. You don't need to have your Twitter app, desktop tool or browser open 24-7 to be active on Twitter. If you use Twitter for personal reasons, check in 2-3 times a day — like morning, at lunch and while watching TV in the evening. It's okay to skip a day, but try to be consistent. If you're a business, you pretty much should have Twitter up whenever you're working. It can be in the background but have it up, and set up searches related to your business. For business-related Twitter tips, see my past posts of using search for a Twitter community and Twitter tips for business.
Like most things in social media, it's about being social — with a purpose — and it takes time. There are no quick and easy ways to get more followers.
So to quote the well-known Greek god of victory: Just do it.

text: Heavily influenced by the confessional alternative folk stylings of Ani DiFranco, Anaïs Mitchell began writing songs when she was 17. Born in Vermont, she attended Middlebury College and traveled throughout the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe studying global politics before alighting in Austin, TX, in the early 2000s. She released her first album, The Song They Sang When Rome Fell, in 2002. Mitchell performed at the Kerrville Folk Festival the following year, where she was awarded with the New Folk award. Her second album, Hymns for the Exiled, came out on Waterbug Records in 2004, and a copy eventually made its way to DiFranco herself. The folk icon attended a few of Mitchell's performances and offered her a deal at Righteous Babe Records soon after. The Brightness, Mitchell's debut on that label, arrived in February 2007. In 2006, Mitchell debuted her "folk opera" Hadestown in collaboration with arranger Michael Chorney and director Ben T. Matchstick based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and set in a futurist poverty-striken America. A second draft was performed by the a group called the Hadestown Company in 2007. An album entitled Hadestown with appearances from Greg Brown, DiFranco and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon was released on Righteous Babe in March of 2010. ~ Margaret Reges, Rovi
