Recent Tasting Notes
Thank you Roswell Strange for sharing this tea. I made this last night in my carry mug and as I sip, I am happy it is still warm but I am finding this to be quite bland. It is slightly orangey and has a hint of nut but any flavor there was may have been drowned out by its long stay in the thermos. Luckily my tea twin shared enough that I will be able to try this again.
I got this in a sample swap from Roswell Strange – thank you! I have wanted to try this one for a long time. I love melon teas and was intrigued that this one is a black tea.
I enjoyed this last night while sitting in my floofy chair watching TV, after a 2 hour nap. Isn't that the life?
The tea was good, for sure. I'm the first to say that my palate isn't the best, I know what I like but I can't always pick out exactly what I am tasting. So when I was drinking this it had a top note that I recognized, but didn't recognize as melon. I liked it, but couldn't figure out exactly what it was.
It's very different from other melon teas I have tried, and a really enjoyable tea. Thanks RS! I hope your end of the swap comes today.
So I have had several cups of this one iced this afternoon. I used 6 tsp of tea in about 1/2 litre of boiling water. Then added a whole lotta ice. I didn't need to add any sweetener as it is sweet on its own.
This one is definitely better iced than hot. The artificial lemon taste is quite blunted. It tastes like a light black tea with candied lemon. Kind of like those little candy lemon drops, but there is no sour, just sweet.
I would say this one is not a favourite but it was nice for an extremely hot and humid day.
I purchased this one quite a while ago with the intention of making iced tea. I never did, it just sat in the bottom on the tea cupboard. I have been getting sick of some of the iced teas I had been making on the weekends so I decided to pull this one out.
I did make it iced, but it is currently chilling in the icebox. I also decided I should try it hot for completion.
Hot, the tea is ok. Honestly it reminds me a bit of no name brand lemon dish soap.I really feel this one was designed to be iced. I hope the same taste does not translate over to the iced version. The black tea base is mild. There is a definite candied lemon taste to the tea, it is bordering on artificial though, hense the lemon dish soap reference. It is a little more sweet than I would like my hot black teas, but I did not add anything to it, that is the way it came. The liquor is very thick and there is a slight astringency at the end of the sip but only if you hold the liquor in your mouth for a little bit before swallowing.
Jeez, I'm really going through the teas I got from Roswell Strange. Every time I go into the kitchen to choose a tea, I end up with one of hers. This one is "generic" black tea leaves with a few slices of almond and some red flower petals. It smells of sugar and caramel with some almond and cinnamon in there too. I did a 3-minute steep at 200 degrees, next time I may go for longer.
The brewed aroma is cinnamon and honey roasted almonds. Yum! I added sugar to mine, and it's lovely brown sugar-candied almonds with just a little touch of cinnamon. There's a definite caramelized taste here, and a little hint of buttery pastry. Mine came out just a little bit weaker than I would have liked, so I will probably try a longer steep for the other half of my sample. Overall, I love the flavors here. :D
Flavors: Almond, Brown Sugar, Butter, Caramel, Cinnamon, Pastries, Sweet
Very rarely do I criticize Butiki teas; but this one is the flavour I really wanted from Almond Indulgence, but didn't get. Plus it's cool supporting a local company, too. :)
Sipdown!! (160)
Lately I have been reaching for lighter teas – those with whites and green bases and fruity flavors. I attribute this preference to the warmer weather. And yet, tonight, I wanted something rich and dark and flavorful – something I could hold in my hands to warm me up and with a scent that is cozy and comforting. Honestly, I was thinking about Nutmeg Cream but I figured I should focus on swap teas and older teas first before diving into that. Plus, last time I had it, it was rather astringent. Then, I considered Brioche and as I rummaged through my draws, I remembered the sample of this tea, courtesy of the amazing Roswell Strange that definitely reminded me of Brioche tea, at least when it came to smell. So I settled on this because it was both a swap tea and one I felt could fit my mood.
Brewed up, the smell is definitely something that is fun to just hold and sniff (wow, that sounds weird). Like Brioche, it is bready and nutty and reminiscent of delicious baked goods. Yum! Unfortunately, compared to Brioche, this falls a bit short. It has the nuttiness but lacks the bready element I love so much. Also, it is a touch more astringent than I would like. That is not to say it is not a good tea in its own right, but seeing as I have Brioche in quantity in my cupboard, I don't think I will be stocking this anytime soon. Nonetheless, I am grateful to Roswell Strange for the chance to try something new so thank you tea twin!!!
roswell strange sent this one my way and i'm glad that she did. While it's not the crazy intensly delicious melon flavour that lupicia has…it is also a black tea! and that makes me happy. I much prefer this one of the black melon that the teafairy sent me. I'm finding this one to be just the right balance of fruit and black tea today. Thanks a bunch RS!
I put roughly 5 teaspoons of mix to steep into 1 litre/35 oz of cold water for approx 22 hours. The result is a pink/red liquid (watermelon coloured) that has a sweet, refreshing yet tart fruit scent. Very dragon fruity.
Flavour is very sweet with a slight tart after taste but liquid is quite thick and sugar syrup like. Similar to some instant iced tea mixes I've had before (I think they were Lipton). My cup even has some sort of white sugar like substance on the bottom, if I hadn't known it was a fruit mix my guess would have been instant blend. Despite that though this is very nice, the flavour is nice, clean and refreshing yet it has enough sweetness to work well as an iced tea and a pinch of sour to stop it being too sweet. Fruit flavour wise it is heavy on the dragon fruit but also has a peach, mango and light mixed berry tones.
I have enough for another cold steep with the same parameters so I will do that for tomorrow, two of my husbands brothers are over for a drink and sleepover before they go to Wembley on Saturday to watch a football finals match. I don't see them often, I live in Leicester and my husband is from Derby but moved here for me and though our cities are next to each other his family rarely visit and I rarely visit them. I'm putting it down to the fact that none of us can drive. Still it will be nice to have family over and this iced tea will be great with a splash of vodka or scotch :) Party iced tea.
I believe this tea was from Lala so thank you Lala for my night time cuppa.
Once steeped the tea smells like almond, it's sweet and nutty yet light and with some rooibos scent. Like a sugar almond sweet mixed with rooibos.
Flavour isn't as almond like, in-fact it's thickly rooibos with an almond after taste. Has some sweetness though it's more from the rooibos than the almond and there is dryness in the after taste.
Not as nice in flavour as it was in scent but it wasn't a bad rooibos blend, it was something I happily finished a pot of which is a rarity for me and rooibos. The almond just gives it a nice subtle touch.
Flavors: Nuts
I waited in all day for a re-delivery that failed to actually be re-delivered, my early morning and severe tiredness from lack of sleep was all for nought. Now I just have to hope my parcel isn't being sent back to Asia, customer services said they will contact me in a few days. Pft, bloody Royal Mail!
Now I'm tying to relax by watching House MD (on my fourth or fifth re-watch in completion) and by sampling this tea, I do love almond and am in need of something sweet.
Served with a splash of milk. Once steeped it has a subtle nutty scent (like almond and walnut ie sweet yet creamy) and a hint of cinnamon spice.
It tastes strongly of mixed roasted nuts which is a little dry with some sweetness in the after taste. I think it's one of the nuttiest teas I've ever tasted, though I'm not digging it's dryness (which nuts tend to be) I am liking the flavour. From time to time I do like nuts, I eat them often as their good for vegetarians. It tastes a little like candied almonds but more like old stock from a pub machine that isn't used often.
I do like this one, not sure if it would be something I would purchase (if I could) but I could certainly drink it again happily.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Nuts
Just a good, old fashioned cold brew!
This one is actually from my mom's tea stash but it's one I used to have a fair bit of so I thought that it'd be neat to revisit it. It did taste pretty well exactly what I remembered it tasting like; quite strongly orange flavoured with undertones of both spices, like cinnamon and peppercorn, and nutty notes. The nutty notes were definitely more weighted towards pistachio; they had that particular pistachio sweetness to them.
It was fun to revisit this one, though I'm pretty content with not having it in my cupboard. It's good, but not super special or mind blowing. Good nostalgia trip, though.
Sipdown (110)!
Well, this is the last cup. I managed to squeak one last one into the night because I had some serious tea cravings left unchecked, and this was a caffeine free sipdown just waiting to be pounced on!
This cup was warm, comforting, Autumnal and delicious with oranges, cinnamon, and pistachio ruling the cup. I never really wanted this tea and when I got it as a birthday present I definitely was not excited but I have to say that on the whole it far exceeded my expectations and I never did really have a bad cup of it – which is something I can't say about ever some of my favourite blends.
So not too shabby on the whole.
Sipdown impending (may finish it off tonight).
Made in my timolino; very juicy orange and sweet pistachio heavy complimented by lighter notes of almond and a very faint "spice" present in the end of the sip in the back of your throat. Like a little "tickle". Mmm!
Mental note to myself: I should eat more pistachio stuff!
Also, dropping this link here for future reference so I can pull it up again for Starfevre when she's not on her work computer. I totally recommend watching this music video if gore/sex stuff doesn't make you really uncomfortable! It's a really interesting, albeit mildly mentally scaring, video.
Dude someone from work showed me this video weeks ago and when it starts he looks at me and goes "I swear I am not a perv" and then it continues and he is like "no really, I swear I am not a perv…this is a well known video" and it just kept getting worse and he just kept protesting he wasn't a perv. I am glad to know his is actually a thing.
I woke up this morning to a phone call from Bobbi asking if I could take her shift today; reluctantly I agreed since she said she'd take mine tomorrow – so I wasn't giving up my day off. Still, I'm horribly exhausted now and even though I get tomorrow off I feel kinda gypped. Plus side; my swap from Cameron B. arrived today; so now I can spend tomorrow sampling things and doing sipdowns, so there's at least that.
Today this one was a cold brew; it was pretty good but it's definitely better hot, that's for sure. I think there's more depth and layers to a hot cup, and unexpectedly I feel like the "spice" (really the cinnamon) is milder and the orange juicier. This was tasty, but it was very strong orange and cinnamon without much else present/showing through.
Probably gonna finish off what I have left (I'm giving most of what's left to my friend Robyn; I just saved about a tablespoon for myself to sipdown) as a hot cup. I like the nuttiness/orange flavour better hot. But again, it's not that this was bad cold.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Orange
Apparently I didn't rate this the last time I had it; not really so sure why but I'll do that this time around!
When I made my mug of this I was kinda in a "meh, this'll do" mood in regard to picking out this tea; I knew I wanted rooibos, but I wasn't sold on this particular blend. However, it ended up being delicious and very satisfying. The orange was very, very juicy and made my whole mouth sorta salivate (as sorta gross as that is to share?). I felt like the orange flavour kinda penetrated every surface of my mouth. And then, the orange was complimented by a vaguely generic nut flavour; although I think I can somewhat confidently say it was slightly more specific to Pistachio – just from the sweetness of it. Next time I have this I'll have to look specifically for that pistachio flavour; this time around I was more fixated on the orange. I guess there's also almond in this one and I suppose that could also contribute a sweeter nut flavour; you know, Amaretto and Marzipan are sweet almondy nut thingers (words; what are they)…
As for the spice (as always, my biggest concern) it was very light handed and I more so just picked up a "cinnamon sugar" lightness and sweetness on the end of the sip with some faint coriander. On the whole I think that just contributed to the warmth and comforting quality of the whole cup, and made the orange even juicier.
Kudos to Cuppa'T for that fantastic orange flavour.
Unrelated, my tooth pain is sorta coming back. Not in the same place as before (exact opposite side of my mouth) and not to the same tear inducing degree, but it's been somewhat consistent all week. Guess I gotta book another dentist appointment. Man, I hate doing "adult" things and adult responsibilities. But hey, at least I'm at a point where I can afford dental work now, without assistance from the parental units.
Flavors: Orange
Taking advantage of the day off to try some new teas! This one was a birthday present from my mom from a local loose leaf tea shop; it's not one I asked for and not a flavour I would have ever chosen for myself, so I'm a bit surprised how much I'm actually liking it.
I think the orange flavour is the best part of this one: it's not soapy, which I find is a real issue with orange flavouring in rooibos blends, and is in fact very juicy and fresh tasting in a pretty natural way. It's also relatively sweet. The nuttyness in this blend is also present but in a more subtle "lurking in the background" kind of way. As for spice? Not really all that present – which is odd because there's a metric butt fuck of peppercorn in the dry leaf: something which is very responsible for why I was so hesitant to try this one initially…
Also, I might as well post this here: There are a couple 52Teas blends that I'm looking to get rid of. I don't want to trade them: I'm just looking to decrease the amount of black tea in my cupboard which I currently don't drink. If no one is interested here I'll just post them in the "Take it Away" thread. Also, my preference is that they go to the same person – but if I need to split them to get rid of them that's ok too. Only shipping within North America, though…
- Maple Bacon
- Pancake Breakfast (and possibly)
- Butterbeer
All are in their original packaging, but not sure exactly much is left of each one.
EDIT: There are a few Tea Desire blends I'm ok with parting with too. I'll list those ones here as well, and same deal as before: I'll ship anywhere within North America and would prefer if I didn't have to split them. Original packaging, etc.
- Oreo Cookie
- Amaretto
- Walnut Orange
I would happily take all of them off your hands and paypal you the shipping fee if you would like :)
Done (but I don't need the shipping fee back from you)! I already have your shipping info so I'll send all six out to you as soon as I can (either Wednesday before work or Thursday since that's payday). I'm gonna try and get in one more cup of each though – if you don't mind: I'd like to give them each a proper "farewell".
Another from Roswell Strange!
I saw both Roswell Strange and VariaTEA had this one cold, so I thought I would take the road less travelled.
This one is reminding me of Watermelon Mint Chiller from Teavana, because yes that one tasted like raspberry. This one isn't bad at all. I am tempted to cold-brew it, but I'm not getting any coffee-like flavours, and I don't think I want them haha.
Thanks Roswell Strange!
This is actually a decent rooibos. I'm always wary of rooibos, since I generally do not enjoy it at all. With the one exception of Fauchon's L'Automne. Sigh.
The rooibos base here doesn't overtake the other ingredients completely, which is great. The apple is apparent, though I'm not so sure about the pistachio or strudel aspect. There is something dimming the apple a bit so those things are there, just not distinguishable to me. Overall, an enjoyable cup, especially for a rooibos.
Thanks Roswell Strange!
Sipdown!! (169)
Thank you so much Roswell Strange for sparing some of this for me to try. This is a hard one to say good bye to as I think it is my favourite melon tea, as in I think I like this even more than Butiki's Cantaloupe and Cream. It captures the flavor of honey dew perfectly, which is not an easy feat as it is a pretty subtle flavor to begin with. Plus, on top of all that melony goodness, there is a nice hint of vanilla sweetness. Delicious!!
This. This. is. good. Thank you Roswell Strange for sharing this with me because it is AWESOME!!
First off, it smelled amazing which actually made me nervous because I feared the taste would not deliver. I am happy to report that it does!! This is a super refreshing cup of melon and vanilla, unlike any I have had before. I would stock this in a heartbeat.
I guess between this and Apple Strudel Pistachio, there is a Cuppa'T order in my future. My NEAR future.
I think it is a mail in thing. Look at the bottom of the page: http://www.cuppatteas.com/
Also, in theory, you could be very nice to Lala and tigress_al and see if either would pick anything up for you and ship it to you – because they actually live in the city the store is in. Also, I would be willing to do the same when I'm in town visiting family. But yes; out of the Cuppa'T blends I've tried both this and Apple Strudel Pistachio are my favourites; and things I WILL be restocking. I just knew you'd love this one too though :)
Oh hey! They have a Lime Sage rooibos as well. Might be a better place to order from in the future, depending on shipping costs.
Yeah; it was new when I went up in January. Which is sad, because I'd really like an ingredients list.
I cold brewed this for 12 hours and have found the coffee taste Roswell Strange has talked about. I don't even understand what happened because hot, this is a generic fruity water but cold it becomes a raspberry coffee. I mean, WHAT?!?! Neither are particularly great though. Nonetheless, thank you Roswell Strange for the chance to try something new (especially something that isn't easily accessible to me).
Thank you Roswell Strange for sharing so much of this with me. I brewed up some of this at my friend's place however she doesn't have a kettle so we are using the pot on the stovetop method of water heating. Then we just waited a long time for it to cool. Unfortunately I think we waited too long because the water was fairly cold and even after steeping for like 5 minutes, this tastes like generic sweet, fruity water. I will have to try this again when I am reunited with my fancy kettle.
Sipdown (175/181)!
This whole being sick thing blows! Everyone is drinking tasty teas and getting lots of sipdowns and here I am; haven't written a tasting note in three bloody days, everything hurts like a motherfucker and I can count the number of teas I've had over the last three days practically on one hands!
I miss my tea!
I'm praying to the Gods that when I wake up tomorrow, on my day off, I'll feel better and miraculously healthy so I can drink some good stuff! If I'm still sick that'll make for seven days in a row… Wah!
But yeah; tea and stuff. It was peachy; too peachy. I didn't like it this time around but I needed it, because the thirst from breaking down pallets is a thing. A BAD MOTHERFUCKING THING. So even though it made me wince with its peachy peachness not a single drop went to waste.
Not gonna miss this.

MIAMI — Home sales in the South posted an annual increase of 8 percent in January as buyers grabbed hold of federal tax credits and affordable prices.
However, sales plummeted 35 percent from December, a sign that the housing market's recovery may be on shaky ground.
The median sales price of previously owned homes was $140,200, a decrease of 2 percent from January last year, the National Association of Realtors reported Friday.
Nationally, there were 275,000 homes sold, a 33 percent decrease from December, but up 7 percent from year-ago levels, without adjusting for seasonal factors. The national median sales price was $164,700, unchanged from last January.
The year-over-year increase in the South was mainly driven by low prices, government incentives, and mortgage rates that have hovered near 5 percent. Homebuyers have until April 30 to take advantage of tax credits of up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and $6,500 for current homeowners.
Some analysts who expected rough winter weather to hurt sales were surprised at the annual increase.
"The bargains are so good that people were braving the rain, sleet, snow and frigid air to take advantage of them," said Jeff Humphreys, an economist with the University of Georgia.
Still, job losses, falling consumer confidence, high foreclosures and tight lending standards remain obstacles for a sustained recovery.
"There's a lot of underlying weakness in the world economy and national economy," said Bill Weaver, real estate professor at the University of Central Florida. "That's not the general economic environment in which people decide to go out and spend $200,000 on a house."
In the South, nine of the 19 cities covered by the Associated Press-Re/Max Monthly Housing Report showed sales increases compared with last January. Median sales prices dropped in 10 Southern cities.
The AP-Re/Max report, also released Friday, analyzed sales transactions in the metropolitan statistical areas recorded by all real estate agents, regardless of company affiliation.
Here are some highlights:
—Little Rock, Ark.: Sales fell 22 percent, the largest year-over-year drop in sales among the report's 19 Southern metro areas.
A lack of confidence in the economy likely led Little Rock buyers and sellers to hold back, with job losses hitting close to home, said Ethan Nobles, spokesman for the Arkansas Realtors Association.
"When you've got regular announcements of job losses or very little job creation, that does make people a little bit nervous," Nobles said.
Despite the drop in sales, the median sales price in Little Rock rose nearly 11 percent to $147,000.
—Orlando, Fla.: This central Florida city's basement-level prices led to a 52 percent increase in sales compared with January last year. Orlando's median sales price was $104,250, down 28 percent compared with the same month last year, the AP-Re/Max report showed.
Foreclosures sold at heavy discounts are keeping prices down and luring investors, especially in the condo market.
Condos can sell for $50,000 or even less, often for all-cash, said Lloyd Page, regional senior vice president with Coldwell Banker in central Florida. Even houses are selling for that little, though they are usually foreclosures in need of repairs, Page said.
"A lot of these houses are stripped bare and won't qualify for financing," Page said.
Coldwell Banker agent Cindy Brads said buyer interest is "tremendous" for homes $150,000 and below in Orlando. For anything below $60,000, it's not strange to get 20 offers for a property, with a large percentage coming from investors, she said.
— Houston: This Texas metro area posted a 10 percent increase in its median sales price, which was $143,500, the AP-Re/Max report showed.
Sales for homes $500,000 and higher rose 40 percent compared with last January, said Danny Frank, an agent with Keller Williams Realty in nearby Pearland, Texas.
Houston has been one of the steadiest housing markets in the past year. But it isn't immune to worries about the economy — sales fell 11 percent compared with last January.
Slow home sales also hurts local economies, cutting into sales of home-related items like refrigerators and lawnmowers.
"That trickle-down effect affects everybody from Joe the plumber to Joe the brain surgeon," Frank said.

HANOVER, Md., Jan. 5, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KEYW Corporation (Nasdaq:KEYW): Len Moodispaw, KEYW's CEO and President, today provided the following with respect to the Company's business and communications:
"As we start 2011 and begin the season when many companies file earnings reports and annual reports and projections for the future, I want to make sure everyone knows my thinking about communications with the public and shareholders. To do so, I will quote from Jimmy Buffett and his cousin, Warren." "Jimmy first (no surprise!): 'If the phone doesn't ring, it's me'. I don't intend to be prolific with announcements touting some tactical or incremental event or news not meaningful to KEYW. I do intend to communicate as clearly and openly as possible about matters that really impact our strategy and risks associated with achieving it." "Now for Warren: ' We make no attempt to woo Wall Street. Investors who buy and sell based upon media or analyst commentary are not for us. Instead we want partners who join us… because they wish to make a long term investment in a business they themselves understand and because it's one that follows policies with which they concur'. We at KEYW adhere to this philosophy. To this I add that we want partners who understand what we do for our Country and want to be part of a meaningful company, our company KEYW."We intend to inform you of our strategy and any changes to it. We will provide objective metrics which are meaningful to us as we operate KEYW, and we will provide periodic updates on our performance to these metrics. And of course, we will do all of this in compliance with the securities laws and our obligations as a NASDAQ-listed company. We believe that a tactical view of our business that focuses on particular opportunities available to us provides little understanding of what makes us successful. However, because much attention has been paid to some opportunities, we provide the following update: 1) Our recently announced, $16 million, 1 year contract for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) products is a new opportunity that emerged and was awarded quickly, and one that launches a new KEYW product line. 2) While we were just informed that the Air Force contract known as A5XP was not awarded to KEYW, we do not believe this will have a significant impact on our future due to the award of the SMT contract, among other factors. 3) The Aura contract opportunity, with one of our major customers, has grown to be a 7 year, $700 million program to deliver next generation Intelligence Community capabilities using agile systems integration methods. We delivered our proposal during December 2010 and expect a decision in mid-2011; and 4) the Ocelot contract, also with one of our major customers, has been delayed to later in 2011, but it has been elevated to a high customer priority for award in 2011. From our strategic perspective, KEYW remains on course for a strong 2011. We expect to continue high organic growth regardless of specific contracts. Our history reflects that path; our primary limitation has been the availability of staff resources to perform the work vital to the mission of our customers. We will make acquisitions and pursue opportunities because they fit our strategy, not because we strive to meet some self or otherwise imposed short-term goals of revenue and profits. We will win some and lose some but will remain the Company known for producing results for our ever growing list of customers. Partners understand that as the reality of business; they choose to be partners based on the long-term value they foresee in the partnership.

New tires will be a big help, not only in improving a cars performance, but also in tire longevity. Even though performance summer tires wear faster, they have stiffer sidewalls and are design to run at higher temperatures. This will reduce chunking (often seen with OE touring tires) and tire corner wear from sidewall roll over.
Recently, grassroots motor sports did a test on this, and it was found that wheel weight had less of an impact when compared to having correctly sized tires for the wheel. I'm not saying that wheel weight doesn't matter; I'm saying that impact/dollar is pretty low.
When it comes down to street tires, my research has led me to believe that you'll get the best performance out of a tire sized correctly to the wheel width. Stock 15x6 will be best served with a 195 street tire.
Not sure what your budget or overall goals are here. Are you looking to get a separate set of wheels and tires, or just new tires? It may be that starting out you'll want to fit a good performance tires to your OE alloys, and find a used set or steelie wheels to put on some snows or all seasons for the winter.

The 6 Stages of Adjustment to Hearing Loss of the Nerve Type
The 6 Stages of Adjustment to Hearing Loss of the Nerve Type
Of the many problems and conditions that can affect the human body, hearing loss of the nerve type is one of the least detectable and the most communicationally segregating and psychologically devastating.
Segregating because it fractures and warps the ability to communicate effectively if one cannot speechread and/or is not assertive enough to speak up and tell others s/he has this impairment.
Devastating because it changes present relationships, places a barrier on new relationships and often strips the individual of his/her dignity, pride and independence.
It is not easily and/or readily recognized as blindness or mobility impairments. It only becomes noticeable to self and others when the individual tries to communicate or to understand a speaker and the words sound garbled.
An individual with a moderate to profound hearing loss of the nerve type may have no difficulties getting where s/he is going but once s/he arrives at his/her destination, the problem begins. His/her problem goes completely unnoticed by others.
Unnoticed for 2 major reasons:
It is not easily detectable by others, and
The individual is not about to admit s/he has hearing loss of the nerve type to others and chance a negative reaction. People don't have any problem admitting they can't see and they have no difficulties wearing glasses. The interesting thing I have personally witnessed are those who wear hearing aids will not change their battery in front of other people. Instead they go to the bathroom to do that. While those who wear glasses have no problems whatsoever removing their glasses, holding them up to a light and cleaning them, then putting them back on right wherever they may be.
Why is it so difficult for us to admit we have a hearing loss?
I can provide 4 reasons based on my students answer to that question. The following are the most frequent reasons. And, every individual who has developed hearing impairment of the nerve type can relate to one or all these reasons or a combination of them. In this paper we are talking only about those who have NERVE impairment.
1. The person who has acquired hearing impairment yet continues to hide the problem may be exposing his own pre-biased deep seated feelings about deafness. Unknowingly, by "covering up" the problem… he is keeping the stigma attached. S/he's ashamed of having this problem or feels ashamed. That feeling is based solely on what s/he has heard others say about it and/or what reactions they have demonstrated. Like anything else if it's hidden away, and brought out into the open it will create negative reactions. After thousands of years of this vicious cycle of defeat it is still playing its old game of "cover up."
At one time I collected antique books of any title. One day a friend gave me a book wrapped up beautifully with a nice bow for my birthday. It was well worn hard back copy published in 1648. What a treasure! The title: Deaf and Dumb. And, I think you already know what it talks about. That was in the mid 1600 yet in 2011, although we've advanced in technology the social attitudes are still way behind. I don't think we'll ever see a book that is titled: Blind and Dumb.
What's interesting here are similar words by Helen Keller who had both deafness of the nerve type and blindness. This was her statement:
"I have both deafness and blindness and of the two deafness is the worst because it has to do with communication and without communication we have nothing. With blindness I do not see thing's but with deafness it separates me from others."
2. Those of us who have had normal hearing and developed a hearing impairment later in life are accustomed to helping others less fortunate; and this may make it difficult to accept anything less than perfect in ourselves. Whereas, we were once in a position to help others, we are now in the position "to be helped". That, in itself, is the difference between independence and dependence. America is not only youth-oriented but good-health oriented; and, we all want to be a part of that. This attitude has been reinforced by the audio visual media even more so in the latter few years than ever before in history.
3. We have noticed how others treat those who have hearing loss and we don't like what we see. (This one was the most frequently mentioned)
4. That leads us to believe that people are not very understanding about this problem and even if we admitted it they soon forget and we are back to zero again.
If we, who have hearing loss of the nerve type cannot accept and understand this disability, we cannot possibly expect others to comprehend it. Maybe the answer is within our own attitude and how we viewed hearing impairment in others. In order to get past this problem we need to ask ourselves some questions and the answer will roll to the front of our mental cupboard. The following are some questions and you can ask yourself other questions as well to get to the bottom of why we are so sensitive about our impairment.
Before I developed hearing loss…..
1. how did I view others who had hearing impairment?
2. what did I do to help others who had this impairment?
3. how did I repeat a statement when that someone didn't hear it the first time said?
4. how many times did I laugh at a joke being told and then told my friend who had hearing impairment and missed the punch line … "He just told a joke."
5. how much time did I spend with an older individual who couldn't keep up with the conversation at the Holiday family dinner table?
You don't have to share your answers with me. The purpose of these questions is to help you find how caring you were with those around you who had hearing impairment. If you find you were not as caring as you'd like someone to be to you, forgive yourself right now because you can't change something that happened years ago. But you can change what you would do now and in the future. That's the key. Don't look back. That's what we call "learning" and seeing things from a different light.
More people today have hearing impairment than ever before in history and the teenagers are now being tested for hearing loss due to the musical radios they listen to all day long…directly into their eardrums and it's louder than the cochlear can handle. Once the hair cells in the cochlear break…one will never hear that sound again….not even with a hearing aid/s. The aid amplifies sound…all sounds but technology has so greatly improved these last few years and I recommend anyone who has hearing impairment in both ear to wear 2 hearing aids. It is also a safety net so one can hear the noises around him/her an should be worn every time one drives a vehicle.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross (1969) the author of Death and Dying, developed the 5 stages of dying. This development gave us a tremendous insight into the different emotional stages when an individual suffers a major loss. These stages apply equally well to any significant change in a person's life. The stages developed by Kubler-Ross are as follows:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
And, I have chosen to add one more stage for those who develop hearing impairment of the nerve type……stage 6. Rehabilitation
Like those who are faced with dying, those with progressive nerve loss face the same life threatening problems…..loneliness and rejection and the unknown. The difference between the person dying and the individual who has developed progressive nerve loss is the latter lives on but with a devastating disability.
The degree of reactions to the development of this problem is not necessarily in direct proportion to the degree of loss in hearing. However, the intensity of the reaction is directly related to several factors such as:
1. How much one needs and uses communication his/her daily life;
2. The attitude about self and others;
3. How others relate to them;
4. The ability to be flexible to the need and adaptable to change;
5. The ability to build a strong support system within the social circle s/he is accustomed to;
6. The tolerance level with self and others;
7. Length of time it takes one to admit to self that s/he has this problem;
8. Length of time it takes one to seek professional help;
9. The personal status level; and,
10. Personal communication skills.
Let's take a look at my favorite American Humanistic Psychologist, Abraham Maslow's hierachy of needs theory. (1970).
Maslow's hierachy of needs demonstrates as the individual fulfills his /her needs on one level, s/he arrives at the next higher level. As Maslow's chart below illustrates, the first 2 levels are the most basic in the human hierarchy chain of events!
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
6. Desire to Know and Understand
5. Need For Self-Actualization
Self-mastery, desire to help others, ability to direct one's own life, rich
Emotional experiences, a sense of meaning to one's life.
4. Esteem Needs
Self-esteem, esteem of others, achievement, recognition, dignity,
Appreciation, self-confidence, mastery of oneself and one's environment.
3. Belongingness and Love Needs
Love, affection, belongingness need for family, friends, group,
Clan, territorial imperative, and community.
2. Safety Needs
Security, stability, dependency, protection, freedom from fear,
anxiety, chaos, need for structure, order, limits, etc.
1. Physiological Needs
Homeostasis, specific hungers such as sex, food, water, air,
Shelter and general survival.
Adapted from Abraham Maslow, Motivation and Personality. (New York; Harper, 1970).
Although the needs on the levels 1 & 2 are necessary to survival they are not sufficient to maintain a satisfactory lifestyle and enable the individual to fit in with society especially if he is a product from a higher level.
I bring this information to your attention only so you can focus on the "why" an individual experiences panic and much difficulty upon acquiring moderate to profound hearing loss of the nerve type. How well one arrives on the higher levels has much to do with his/her ability to communicate with others. When the communication has been severed his/her very psychological well being is threatened and creates panic and sometime full blown panic. If the loss is sudden and severe such as over night or within a few weeks…it can be psychotraumatic!
Stress seems to affect people more profoundly if they feel powerless to control the situation. Thus, the reason more stress is involved for those whose hearing loss is sudden and severe. There is no time to develop a compensatory system. That's why those who lose hearing in mid life of the nerve type have a difficult time as they are in their prime of life.
Some scientists such as Hans Selye appear to believe that some periodic doses of stress may have some lasting benefits. It may help an individual learn how to deal with the environment from a different perspective and help them find deep in their lowest gut something they didn't know they had. And, as a result find the strength to survive.
People don't just grieve over a loved one or a dear friend or favorite pet who has passed away, however, which is a major loss; they also grieve over losing a major sense and losing one's hearing is an absolute major loss that most cannot possibly comprehend….until it happens. It can be a very painful experience. Looking at it from another standpoint, it can also be very rewarding….that is, if one can find themselves at that point.
I did. It became my life work. I loved teaching Psychology of Hearing, Solutions to Hearing Impairment Social Psychological Aspects and Speechreading which included teaching Body Language, Facial Expression. If I had my life to live over again, I'd teach the same thing.
I can remember when I was very young…4 years of age…I had no idea I couldn't hear. I thought everyone else was just like me. When I played the gossip game with my friends, I learned the story always changed when it got to me. I solved that problem by being the one that starts the gossip game. No one was pointing their finger at me anymore. But I didn't know it's because I couldn't hear a whisper. A whisper is very high pitch.
My mother was in the hospital most of the time from the time I was 4 to 7. She had cancer of the uterus. And, she wasn't always feeling her best so she just thought I didn't listen a times. She was not expected to live beyond 6 months and that was in 1945 but she lived to be 79 and passed away on Easter Sunday in 1994.
She had German measles when she carried me so I was destined to be deaf, blind, mentally retarded or any combination of those. As I got older and had high fevers from childhood diseases, chickenpox, measles, mumps, my hearing got worse. It was the high fever that caused the loss as per the diagnosis in later life. I didn't know I couldn't hear so I didn't have a problem.
But I had an older brother and I took the attitude of anything he could do, I could do better or at least as good. He was 3 years older than me. I can remember he learned to spell the word, "people" and got loads of attention and praise from the family at a holiday dinner. I was watching that closely. And, I got that "aha" feeling. He was 7 and I was 4. I had a nickel saved in my drawer and I made a bee line for that nickel and off I went to buy a tablet. In those days you could buy a whole tablet for 5 cents. I already had a pencil that was about 3 " long and I sharpened on the sidewalk.
Then off I went in search for a long word. Just any word would not do…it had to be a long word! Apparently, I was walking past a travel agency because across the entire window was a nice long word and I dropped to the hot cement sidewalk, spread out and copied letter by letter….C Z E C H O S L O V A K I A…..then, all the way back home I skipped and memorized that nice long word visualizing the attention and praise I would get for that…I was really going to outshine my brother. When I got home I was ready and I walked up to my mother and my Aunt Lucille and said, "I can spell a word, too." My brother laughed and said, "what can you spell? Maybe "I" or "Me"….maybe "Cat" and he scrunched his nose up when he said, Cat. He was bent over laughing and holding his willy to keep from peeing his pants. And, my Aunt Lucille said, "What can you spell?" Now that was a hard question because I had no idea what I could spell. But I stuck to my guns. And I said, "I can spell a long word!" My mother said, "Ok, let's hear it." And, I started…. C Z E C H O S L O V A K I A. Then I smiled and waited for all the praise. But instead they all started laughing. I never forgot that. I was so hurt… I ran to my bedroom crying. I didn't realize that no one knew what I spelled and I didn't know either. But it wasn't the last time I challenged my brother. I challenged him to the bottom of the hill on a bicycle. I got to the bottom before he did which was my goal, but I wasn't on the bicycle when I got there! You win some and you lose some and sometimes it depends on how we look at it.
When I was 14 years of age we moved to El Monte ,California and that was the first year the school tested hearing. That was when I found out I had a moderate to severe loss. But, by that time I had developed some very strong compensatory skills. My grades were good…mostly A's and B's. By the time I was 18, when I got married, my hearing dropped to a severe to profound level. I dated my husband for a year and 9 months before getting married and my hearing loss was never discussed.
And, each time I had a baby it dropped some more. Anytime one goes into surgery and is given a spinal, or whatever medication they use to put you to sleep, your hearing may be directly affected. I had weak hair cells in my cochlear due to my mother's German measles. I was very lucky nothing else was affected. After having 3 babies I became profoundly hearing impaired of the nerve type. And, based on my ENT it was more than likely a nerve loss from the very beginning. Most of my hearing loss was in the high pitch range so that means I couldn't hear most or all of the consonants. Have you ever tried to read a book with all the consonants missing?
Let's get back to grieving now…..It's important to understand the process of grieving over hearing loss and to allow yourself the privilege of expressing and feeling the pain to yourself and others. Sometimes it is in the suffering that brings us to a climax where more understanding of ourselves and others take place. The true lesson in learning about empathy may be accomplished during this process. For it is within this personal experience where we reach deep down inside ourselves and tap natural reserves we never dreamed we had.
Not everyone travels through these stages in the exact same pattern; some people skip stages or get stuck in a stage for a long time and / or repeat stages. Each person travels through these stages at a different speed. But one thing every person who suffers a hearing loss has in common is s/he will find him/herself in one or more of these stages at one time or another prior to arriving at rehabilitation. When you understand these stages you can tell almost exactly where you, your family member or friend is in these stages.
Let's talk about the different stages and let's begin with Stage 1: Denial
A person enters this stage at about the time he has acquired a mild to moderate loss. If he/she has a sudden severe loss he will not enter this stage, instead he enters somewhere between stages 2 and 3. S/he moves at a faster speed and simply bypasses this stage. If the hearing loss is sudden and severe one may experience acute panic, suffer from anxiety and become nervous and frustrated when others don't cooperate or forget you have a loss of hearing, and if you don't find any immediate effective solutions.
Unlike those who have progressive hearing loss over a long period of time, this individual more than likely will seek help immediately. He has no time for denial of the problem or time to develop any sophisticated compensatory skills. S/he may admit s/he has hearing impairment to him/herself and others but it hurts deeply. S/he's in mourning.
It hurts because s/he is being forced involuntarily to admit something is amiss about him/herself. S/he has found no options and not enough time to recover from the initial shock of the loss of a major sense. S/he feels the impact with far more intensity than the individual with a progressive loss over a long period of time.
S/he may even skip right past the Anger stage (or experience it lightly) and head straight for hte bargaining stage and depression. S/he moves through these stages faster but on a more profound level of intensity.
The Denial stage provides a useful function in that it allows you to buy more time to recover, blame others why you can't hear…everyone mumbles…, from the initial shock of learning that your hearing is no longer "perfect". It is the longest stage for most people. And too many people actually wallow in that stage. They refuse to admit something is wrong with them.
It is within this stage where one may begin developing a highly sophisticated compensatory response system. This system serves the individual so well it not only makes it more difficult for others to notice the hearing loss, but it also eventually convinces the individual that s/he just needs to be more attentive to details and that s/he does a splendid job.
• The compensatory response system may include:
• Looking at the speaker more;
• Asking for repeats but pretending a distraction was the cause of not hearing;
• Guessing at and assuming what was said;
• Watching gestures and body language;
• Acting too busy and/or feigning illness and tiredness to cover up when s/he didn't hear; and,
• Accusing everyone of mumbling.
In this stage you're very much aware of the problem but you hide the truth from yourself and others for as long as possible. You are buying time.
If your hearing never gets worse than mild to moderate loss then you may never experience the following 3 stages….that is, if you don't have nerve loss.
If you don't have nerve loss then you may skip to the acceptance stage. But for the person with nerve loss, then it becomes noticeable worse and you might enter the next stage. With family and friends now telling you more often that you have hearing loss may create anger and enter a battle with them through arguments that set up stress in a relationship.
Stage 2: Anger
This stage serves as a vent and is a "non-cooperative" time during the adjustment period.l Anyone who expresses anger is expressing a dissatisfaction of a personal need and in this stage anger is expressed in all directions:
• externally ; and
• internally.
Feelings fluctuate between resentment of others and frustration with self. At this point, hearing loss has been admitted to self only but not accepted and it certainly has not been admitted to others. You now acknowledge you have a hearing problem but it is not your fault. You are now angry at the world and may find yourself ….
• asking other to repeat in a rude way; or
• accusing others of mumbling or speaking too softly; or
• leading others to think it is their fault you don't hear…they don't speak up or don't articulate; or
• acts very indignant when someone suggests you try an aid/s…heavens forbid; or
• does most of the talking so you don't have to listen.
Do you know anyone like that? It's easy to identify people with hearing loss by their habits and it's easy to locate what stage they are in as a result.
As one loses faith in others to help him, he begins desperately seeking ways to make a change, to help himself without having to admit to others he has a hearing loss. But with every turn he gets the same external response that clearly confirms the problem again. In the process he becomes…
• disappointed in self; and,
• loses his self esteem; and,
• loses his sense of humor; and,
• then becomes angry with himself.
The realization of the problem has now been supported by the family, friends and self.
This is a period of turmoil, like a fox chasing his tail. e runs in circles but as a result he eventually makes a break to move on. And, some move is better than no move at all. The decision to move on opens the door to new experiences. Unlike indecision, which keeps you in a no growth pattern.
Stage 3: Bargaining
This stage may go on for years. He has finally recognized the presence of the loss but still may not be willing to do anything about it. it's become like a boil…it hurts too much to touch. The individual becomes desperate and despondent. He begins bargaining with God, self and others and usually in that sequence.
1. "God, if you give me back my hearing I'll never ask for another materialistic thing."
2. "God, if you give me back my hearing I'll never have another extramarital affair again…I'll be faithful to the end."
For those of you who remember Danny Thomas a TV entertainer of the '50's – '70's I believe. He was losing his popularity and he bargained with God that if God would bring him back to where he was before, he'd build a hospital for sick children." He regained his popularity and built St. Jude Hospital for children. What a bargainer he was! But his word was good!
1. "If I stop smoking and drinking maybe that will improve my hearing."
2. "Maybe if I change my diet and lose some weight it will take the pressure off my ears."
1. "If you would just stop mumbling, I could understand you better!"
2. "If you would just speak up I culd understand very well!"
3. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with me…the problem is out there."
And, after the bargaining comes the excuses:
1. "I know I don't hear perfectly…but it's not that bad …yet!"
2. "I'm not old enough to wear a hearing aid!"
3. "I have a nerve impairment and aids will not help my problem."
4. "I don't know anyone who likes to wear an aid/s."
5. "I get along just fine without an aid/s."
6. "Hearing aids cost too much money."
7. "My friend has a hearing loss and he gets along just fine without an aid. And, I can do the same!"
He continues to buy more time with compromises and excuses and as long as he continues to negotiate he will find himself regressing slowly back to sate 2, Anger. He's now angry and disappointed in God, Self and Others. Angry because what he's doing doesn't seem to be working in his favor. This time his anger becomes profound and internalized. Internalized anger leads to depression.
Stage 4: Depression
This is the most difficult period. a time when he reaches his lowest ebb in the process of the adjustment. He probably has even lost more hearing by now. He may listen to what others have to say but he's not sure he wants to do anything about it anymore. He is now in limbo. It's the grieving period. A period of negativity where he feels some or all of the following at one time or another during this stage:
• A feeling of inner emptiness;
• Life seems hopeless;
• Withdrawal from family and friends;
• A feeling of giving up …so what's the use?
• A feeling of being left out of the fun by family and friends;
• The inability to sleep or would rather sleep all the time;
• A loss of appetite or compulsive eating habits;
• A loss of self esteem and poor self image;
• Becomes emotional (cries a lot and easily);
• Thinks and talks about all the things he can't do; and,
• in worse cases….
• Nothing to live for anymore; and
• Suicidal feelings which may include writing notes or even attempts.
In his deepest level of depression and introspection…this is where he does most of his real deep thinking and observing ….he's at his lowest ebb and begins to ask himself questions and providing his own answers.
• Why me?
• Of all the millions of people out there….why me?
• What did I ever do to deserve this?
• How did I get in this lonely boat anyway?
• Why aren't people more understanding?
• Why doesn't someone help me?
It is in answering that final question and attempting to answer that he realizes that he, himself, is someone and he can help himself. Even though he may not have an answer to all those questions, he is asking the right questions that lead him to that final question and his answer. He is now learning to adjust. It is within this step that he begins to accept his fate. And, so quietly slips into the 5th stage…tired and worn out physically, but he has a whole new set of tools to work with now.
Stage 5: Acceptance
This is the stage of mixed emotions and the body is in somewhat of a shock. He feels trapped. It's a highly progressive stage, however…when he finally realizes that to help himself he must take appropriate steps and follow through with action. He must do it himself. He may still feel that residue of his past experiences from anger, stage 3, to depression, stage 4, but they will be short lived now.
• He may still get the poor me's occasionally but not as profound or as long in duration;
• He may still feel guilty about how he handled himself, expressed his rage, accusations of others "inadequate speech…mumbling, etc.";
• He may feel guilty about having put his family and friends through all this;
• He may even feel embarrassed about having the loss in the first place;
• He may feel humiliated by not doing something about it sooner to help himself; and,
• He may even ask himself why he didn't do this in the first place!
He kicks and licks himself throughout this period. He's reached deep inside and he found more answers and strength to cope as well as empathy for others who may have problems. He's put his false pride aside now and he no longer feels the same about the problem. His attitude is more positive now about himself, the problem and others. It is about this time when he decides to enter a rehabilitation program, a speechreading class or a self-help group. He may even decide to see an Ear Specialist or an Audiologist.
Stage 6: Rehabilitation
The higher degree of acceptance, the more effective his effort will be in creating opportunities to lead a near normal life. In this stage he begins investigation of the options available to him and this may include the following:
1. Seeing an Ear Specialist, ENT and with an open mind believing what he has to say and following up on his recommendations; and,
2. Seeing the Rehabilitation Specialist to develop coping skill, awareness of options available, and understanding the problem. Learning how to regain, retain and maintain the comfortable lifestyle he once took for granted.
As acceptance is slowly acknowledged it becomes a part of the person's existence. The strength to fulfill his life, independence and dignity by following through the newly learned strategies. The need to view himself as in control of his own life is great.
Even after the arrival at this stage, there may be more periods of regression. Having the present knowledge and skills will assist the individual in working himself back to this level at a more rapid pace. Once he realizes that his liberation lies in acquiring the knowledge of understanding the disability, learning precisely what his needs are and how to fulfill and maintain those needs he will finally accept the fact that, although he may always have the disability, but the handicap can be overcome.
These stages are normal growth patterns when an individual acquires a major loss. Anyone who acquires hearing loss should be able to progress through these stages that are necessary to his needs within a year. In the past many people have taken as long as 25 years or more to work through these stages and thereby, prolonging the cure. The longer it takes to go through these stages the more intense and profound the feelings. And the more stress it places on the body. This is not to mention what it does to close family members and friends.
Although it's important to experience these emotions it's also equally important to keep the duration period at a minimum to relieve stress. This can be done if the individual would see his ENT immediately after the first sign of a loss, hoever slight. This would be in the Stage 1 level. It is during this period when the individual should consider entering a rehabilitative program and learn as much as possible about the problem before it becomes progressively worse and before being stressed out. A well-structured program would provide the individual with the following:
1. Development of realistic expectations for what can be gained from rehabilitation;
2. To stimulate the patient to move from his present level of message perception to a higher level;
3. To encourage the individual to compensate and work through his social-psychological and communicational problems more effectively;
4. To provide the individual with an understanding of hearing loss and how he hears;
5. To assist the individual in the acceptance of and responsibility for the disability on a comfortable level with self and others;
6. To assist the individual in learning independent and interdependent skills;
7. To acquaint the individual with resources available for follow-up upon completion of the program;
8. To motivate the individual to follow-up on these available resources to improve communication skills; and
9. To encourage effective supportive skills by family members and friends.
Another check up may be forthcoming 6 months to a year later while still in Stage 1 or advancing to the final stage and bypassing all the painful stages one puts themselves through unnecessarily.
Although the rehabilitation program will not prevent the loss from getting progressively worse. In a sense, it is a true alleviation and it will serve as a "bridge" and shorten the duration periods and intensity in Stages 1 through stage 3 and partially eliminate the intensity of Stages 4 & 5. People with acquired hearing loss of the nerve type must take responsibility for their own rehabilitation. And, I believe most are willing to do so. That's what the Rehabilitation program is all about. Trying to solve the problem by oneself can be a long and painful experience. One does not need this much pain and suffering to find his way back to an acceptable lifestyle.
I believe by looking at the Maslow hierachy one can see why the individual with nerve type loss loses so much of his/her lifestyle and this sets up stress. They feel the loss of friendship, chit chat, belonging to a group equally, conversation that bounces back and forth. It is all these things that pull friendships together and binds them.

|All Saints Church, from
The British Critic Quarterly Theological
Review and Ecclesiastical Record
(Volume 28, 1840, p.496)
|All Saints Church, Church Hall,
Graveyard and Vicarage on the
Rotherhithe 1914 (London Sheet
78) Ordnance survey Map
A History of the County of Surrey, Volume 4, adds that it had a chancel, vestry, nave (roofed in one span) with a gallery at the west end and that it was built of white brick with stone dressings.
Together, Trinity, All Saints and Chirst Church cost £13,525 to build and consecrate, a sum that Beck generated with the local contributions, the donation of land and the input of Sir William Gomm, ord of the manor of Rotherhithe. In 1848 Edward Blick recorded that All Saints was endowed with £150 a year.
As with Trinity, All Saints was built on a budget, but it is impressive that in an area where financial resources were at a premium, so many churches were made available for the rapidly expanding communities. With its simple but elegant spire, and its Gothic Revival touches, this was an admirable contribution to the area. From the illustration above in the The British Critic Quarterly it looks really rather appealing.
Writing in 1907, Reverend Beck provides a list of the clergy of All Saints, with some interesting evaluations. Reverend Robert Jones B.A. of Jesus College, Oxford was "an acceptable preacher" and renowned Welsh scholar who oversaw the construction of the vicarage. He was succeeded by Reverend Christopher Tweddle M.A. of Clare College, Cambridge, on the death of Reverend Jones. Beck says that his "influence was very great, especially among young men" but he did not hold the position for long (Beck does not say why). Reverend Dr William Delancy West D.D. was a native of Rotherhithe, his father a local ship builder. He married the daughter of a Bermondsey leather manufacturer. Beck approved of him, saying "his eloquent sermons and spiritual instructions were very highly valued by all who had the privilege of profiting by them" but he retired after only a year due to the ill health of his wife. The final incumbent mentioned by Beck was the Reverend John Jervis, M.A., of Queen's College, Cambridge, under whom the parish room was built for Sunday Schools and other activities.
After the church was destroyed, the parish records of All Saints were deposited in the Greater London Record Office, The County Hall, London SE1 7PB, by the Rector of St Mary with All Saints, Rotherhithe, 7 July 1980 (Acc. 1564) (see the National Archive website).
Although All Saints parish was created in 1842, it was amalgamated with St Mary's parish in 1952 to become the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary with All Saints, which is now served by St Mary's Church, St Marychurch Street.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:06pm
It is time to reconnect with anyone and everyone who played, hoisted a Pan or was a fan of, the Panners lacrosse team.
Join Honker, Lefty, Gamps, Lucky Pierre, Easy, Horse, Big George, Elmer, Rollo, Poodle, Taint, Jets, Stieffer and a host of others on Sunday, May 6 to share some great memories.
"We thought it was time to get all the guys together again" said head coach Hal Hathaway. "We're going to dust off the pan and have a few laughs about the good old days."
The Columbia Lacrosse Club, dubbed "The Panners," started out in 1975 as a founding member of the Central Atlantic Lacrosse League, having Boys' Latin as its home field. Columbia distinguished themselves with three Central Atlantic titles and two runner-ups, before becoming the Crease Lacrosse Club and moving up a league in 1981. A highlight of that run was a 12-10 victory over then archrival Dundalk before a packed house at St. Paul's School, overcoming a 10-5 halftime deficit leading to the championship.
In 1979, the Panners became the first team from Maryland to play in the Vail Shootout. Coached by Hal Hathaway, the Panners took the title two times in their first three visits, with one runner up finish. Easily the high point of those trips was a one-goal victory over the Norm Webb coached all-star team from California known as "Ralph Doles Athletic Club." That game went six overtimes before the Panners prevailed. Columbia's participation as the first team from the East Coast helped establish the Vail Shootout as the summer destination to this day for men and women lacrosse players of all ages.
The gathering will take place near Boys' Latin at the home of a team member on Sunday, May 6 at 3 p.m. No plans have been made for a scrimmage yet, but hopes are high that once the old friends and teammates reconnect, a game will be scheduled.
All players, families and fans of the Panners are invited. Cookout BYOB. Please contact Hal at firstname.lastname@example.com to RSVP and for more information.

I've talked about intensity before. Many months ago I talked about "putting the work back in your workout." I said it wasn't called "fun time" or "joy hour." During the 100 Days program I've said that you've got to put the effort in. But what that does that mean? Breaking a sweat? Lifting heavy? Grunting and straining until you fart?
Well, yeah sometimes that comes along with intensity and your work ethic. But if you've ever been to a gym you know that guys fart no matter how hard they're working and some dudes grunt just walking up the steps. So let's not get any sort of idiotic notion of what "intensity" is.
Having a good work ethic is essential to losing weight or gaining muscle. This is applied in how well you stay on your diet and whether or not you're getting enough out of your workouts. A good work ethic means you don't phone it in. I've seen dozens of guys hit the gym everyday and never make any progress. They're in there wasting time, lifting little weights, and lazily pedaling stationary bicycles.
We all get a little tired and lazy sometimes. There are days I don't want to go to the gym or I don't feel like doing something that's going to be hard. But because, thanks to the repetition of the program, I've developed a good enough work ethic that I can still turn in a good workout even on bad days.
Back when I had a poor work ethic, on a bad day I might go to the gym, do three sets of bench press, maybe use a couple machines and do some rows. A fairly weak work out would stretch on for the same amount of time as an intense one, if not longer. Ninety minutes of putzing around the gym does not equal ninety minutes of good work. It doesn't even equal 45 minutes of good work.
While on the program, a bad day still turns out a pretty good workout. I might skip the kettlebells or the heavy squats, but I'm still putting some intense effort into my "easy workouts." A recent example of what I consider a light day and an easy workout? Sure.
"Easy" Circuit
- 12 Foam Roller Crunch Push-Ups
- 15 Foam Roller Ab-Thrusters
- 15 Lebert Equalizer Push-Ups / or Chair Push-Ups
- 8 Pull-ups
- 10 Elastic Band Tricep Extensions
- 10 Elastic Band Bicep Curls
And repeat three times.
Now, I did put easy in quotes up there, implying that it's not that easy. I'm not trying to pat myself on the back or say that it's super difficult, but for a day when I'm not motivated or on the verge of wanting to skip a workout, that's not bad. And it's not just moseying around the gym, lifting little weights, or doing a few things around the house. The point of that work-out, and this article, is that even when you're not feeling up to a big day, you've got to do something and you've got to tackle it with gusto.
Don't just half-ass it. Be smart about it. If you're not feeling up to running three miles or hitting the bench press hard or whipping a sandbag around, you can craft an intense work out around slightly less intense and fast moving exercises. Get the heart rate up and the metabolism going.
So how's your work ethic?
My Results
A somewhat disappointing week for me as I'm still at 221lbs. What can I say, I'm a big fan of the Halloween season and went out a few times with friends. But the important thing is that I'm still at 221lbs rather than going up in weight – which is part of the basis of the 100 Days Program. It's meant to let you still live your life, have fun, go out, and still make or maintain your progress. Though I'm thinking it's time to switch gears back into "make progress" mode and power through the last pounds.

I miss being a kid. Going back to school was always so much fun. Well…mostly because I got to wear my new clothes, carry my cute lunchbox, and stuff my backpack with all kinds of cool accessories. You know, all that comes along with the first day of school. Ahhhhh…the good old days. I still feel like today's fashion for kid's and teens is so much cooler than when I was growing up. I was taking a look at the Kmart Back to School page and they have the cutest stuff.
