In Gold We Trust
When the economy goes to pot, we the people place our faith in one indisputably sexy commodity. It's the lone bright spot on Wall Street and a rallying cry for the riotous right. So as the Ron Pauls of the world dream of a return to the gold standard, we sent our intrepid correspondent to the Klondike, where a new gold rush is on and rumors of a mother lode have everyone acting a little feverish
The legion of hack travel writers who've described the streets of Dawson City as "literally paved with gold" are sort of telling the truth. Dawson, which lies at the scenic crotch of the Klondike and Yukon rivers in Canada's Yukon Territory, sprang up in 1896 during the Klondike Stampede, and a century after the first gold rush petered out, the latest global gold mania is again rippling village life in this town of 1,800. When I visit in the summer of 2011, with the price of gold at record highs, the very dirt under the city has become controversially precious. One prospector is pissing people off by trying to mine a local road. Rumor has it owners of the Westminster Hotel got into trouble for sinking a shaft under the saloon. By law, you can't start your own gold mine within city limits, though according to scuttlebutt, a few local householders are furtively mining their basements.
It's boom times in Dawson for a simple reason: Gold loves bad news. When the economy slumps, lots of people suddenly wake up to the frightening, psychedelic truth that our entire financial system rests on the internationally abetted illusion that government-issued pieces of green paper have intrinsic value. To safeguard their riches against inflation or, as some have it, the collapse of Western civilization, these people buy large quantities of a soft yellow mineral that also has no intrinsic value. So do daisy chains of speculators, and the price of gold goes up and up and up.
So now, with gold at 500 percent of its price pre–September 11, speculators and mother-lode seekers are pouring back into the hills and valleys around Dawson. A local aphorism estimates that out of every hundred miners to stake a claim, ninety-nine will lose their shirts. Still, fifty new gold-exploration companies have hit town in recent years. And claims have skyrocketed from 28,000 in 2009 to 80,000 in 2011. All of which is trailing the symptoms of an economy in overdrive. Unemployment is approximately zero. Monthly rents aren't much cheaper than Brooklyn's. In the grocery store on Front Street, a case of Aquafina water sells for $32.99, plus deposit.
The bulk of the action isn't in Dawson but in the far-flung boondocks. And the throngs of gold tourists—expecting toothless coots jigging down Front Street with fistfuls of nuggets—aren't quite sure what to do with themselves other than wander the clapboard village painted in merry hues. On a cursory prowl my first night, the only identifiable mania is happening over at the Sourdough Saloon, where a mob is clamoring to drink the house specialty, a shot of liquor garnished with a human toe.
The toe cocktail dates from the 1970s. The first toe belonged to a frostbite victim, but somebody swallowed that one. In years since, open calls for toe donations have been answered by sufferers of diabetes, frostbite, lawn-mowing accidents, and a woman with an inoperable corn.
Dawson's Disneyish downtown has new visitors: gold tourists.
Tourist hokery aside, the toe, a big one, is authentically revolting. It looks like a rotten prune shingled with a sulfur-colored toenail. An unappetizing bit of bone peeks from the knuckle. The shaft bit looks a little beat up, slightly gnawed. When the guy ahead of me takes his turn, I see how it got that way. According to rules of the rite, you're supposed to let the toe at least bang against your lips, but this guy—rising to a moment in the spotlight— takes it into his mouth and chews it before spitting it back into the glass.
Why does anyone do this? I put the question to a Quebecois college kid queued with some pals behind me. "There's supposed to be a gold rush, but you can't see it," he reflects. "So we came here to drink the toe. The toe you can see."
If you actually want to see the gold rush, you have to catch a helicopter to a ridge in the bush about fifty trailless miles from Dawson. When I arrive, I find five guys from an exploration company who have been camped here since June. Everyone is hairy. The smell about them is strong but wholesome. Not unwashed homeless so much as unwashed elk, a natural musk.
The land here makes your jaw hang open. Peaks and ridges arrayed in an unending motley dentition so vast that, if they have names, nobody knows what they are. Some are gray and jagged as broken bones. Others are zaftig and green and seem to want golfers. Late snow gleams in a few drainages, bright as a fuse. Mosquitoes with denim-piercing lances swarm. Still, not a bad place to clock in every day, I observe to a short, bearded fellow whose name I don't catch. "This is the best and worst job I've ever had," he replies. "You get to jump out of helicopters and walk hills nobody's ever walked on before. But most mornings you're like, fuck, I've gotta climb a mountain in the pouring rain."
Dawson's current gold rush doesn't much resemble the mad scramble of 1896. Those old-timers were sluicing "placer" (pronounced "plasser") gold, little flakes and nuggets that fetch up in creek gravel, the same stuff that now sustains about 140 mostly mom-and-pop operations, territory-wide. The current mania is a search for hard-rock gold, the slowly eroding source of all the placer flakelets. The chancy thing with hard-rock gold is that it's buried deep in the bedrock and therefore requires mountain-pureeing technology (and massive corporate capitalization) to recover, but local geologists speculate that the Yukon's hard-rock claims could yield a million ounces or more.
At the movement's vanguard is a guy named Shawn Ryan. Back in the 1990s, when the price of gold was limping along between $250 and $400 an ounce, nobody except Ryan saw the point in bushwhacking remote hills in search of gold not worth the money it would cost to dig up. Ryan made a careful study of aerial-magnetic-imaging surveys of the mountains around Dawson, looking for the mineralogical symptoms of gold. When he could scrape the money together, he'd go out and stake claims. In the laissez-faire law of the Yukon, anybody can drive a pair of stakes into a spot of ground and, for a $10 fee, secure the mineral rights to a fifty-two-acre plot. Ryan currently holds over 45,000 claims, spanning more square mileage than Delaware. So far his efforts haven't yielded enough gold to gild a toothpick, yet Ryan himself, formerly scraping by as a freelance mushroom gatherer, has leased his claims to an exploration company (he's now its president) and is worth at least $15 million.
A day's wages at a mom-and-pop mine.
The mission of the one-hundred-plus hard-rock operations out here this summer isn't to mine the ground themselves but to grab as much land as possible and flip it once more to an even larger international mining company. But a multinational conglomerate like Kinross isn't going to cut you a check just because you've got some ground. The sales pitch requires assay results from rock and soil samples, tons of them. So the big hard-rock stampede right now doesn't look like people striking it rich. It looks like hundreds of mostly young men humping the nameless boonies, putting dirt in plastic bags.
I'm spending the day tailing Morgan Fraughton, sergeant of this particular dirtbagging platoon. His work is this: Every day, the chopper deposits him on a spot of often harsh terrain. Then he takes a seven-hour walk, bending over every 165 feet to fill a bag with dirt. "It can be pretty miserable," he says. "But just surviving it, you feel like a man, like you're in this battle with yourself and winning."
On the ridge, he checks the GPS, unholsters his soil auger—an oversize T-handled tool whose business end is the helically twisted eye of an oversize embroidery needle. With an effortful crunch, he wrenches it into the ground and pulls out a leaden parfait of earth. The sample is a good one, eroded bedrock. If there's any gold in there, it's present in some small number of parts per billion, invisible to the naked eye. "A great sample, easy to get to. This is really awesome dirt," Morgan says.
Morgan's been doing this for three years—a pretty big chunk of your twenties to surrender to solitary, punishing work, I tell him. "Yeah, I gotta get a break," he says, nodding vacantly. "I'm starting to get a little lobotomized." There's fun stuff about it, too, he adds. He's survived a helicopter crash, narrowly avoided being eaten by bears, and seen countryside few get to see. "But after all the helicopter rides and the mountains and bears, all it is is putting dirt in a bag."
Resident gold skeptic Caveman Bill.
The sky leaks steadily. We slog up a peak and down a little saddle. The sodden soil is heavy as slate. Morgan hunches to stuff another brick of dirt into his pack, and when he does, a little kit bag spills out and goes somersaulting off the ridge. Morgan sighs. "That was my lunch."
Within the next five years, every bit of promising ground in the Yukon will likely be mapped. The dirtbaggers will be out of work, and the anonymous hills around Dawson, mineralogically speaking, will be as inscrutable and mysterious as a wiring diagram. The dicey thing here is that it could take many, many years for the mining to get under way, by which point the U.S. economy may have rebounded and the price of gold may have tanked again, thus turning a gold mine into another heap of unviable dirt. A few days later, I mention this to an exploration guy at a hard-rock firm. "Yeah," he says. "I guess we're just all hoping that things in America stay bad."
Wall Street hedging and hard-rock mania aren't the only forces driving the gold frenzy. There is also a certain camp, captained by presidential hopeful (as of this writing) Dr. Ron Paul, who believes a return to the gold standard would heal our sick economy. Going back to gold would mean a geyser of riches here in the Yukon, yet you don't find many local miners who bother to fantasize about it. Unless, that is, you talk to the cast of the most popular reality-TV series ever to hit the Yukon: Gold Rush, now taping its second season in the Klondike.
The show is ideal narrative balm for our age of woe: Six jobless fellows from Oregon, spearheaded by the father-son team of Jack and Todd Hoffman, risk everything to dig a large hole and become millionaires. That's how Jack put it to his crew last season: "You're all millionaires. The only thing is, you gotta get it out of the ground." But what they got out of the ground last season—fourteen ounces ($20,000)—didn't make anyone a millionaire or, after expenses, even a hundredaire. The Discovery Channel, meanwhile, struck the mother lode: The show's season finale drew 4.5 million viewers.
So what's everybody watching for? "For hope," says Todd, a 42-year-old with the long, wiry goatee of speed-metal bassists the world over. "The whole economy is tits. Social Security is tits. I get letters from these frickin' guys and they're like, 'I was ready to kill myself, and then I watched your show, and it gave me hope.' I mean, the entrepreneurial spirit that made this country great, it's dying. What happened? We're supposed to be like the shining city on the hill, bro. We push the envelope! We run this planet! Let's give hope to people! If we can do that out here by moving forward this summer, or even by failing, it will have been worth it."
A chopper drops off the new forty-niners—"dirtbaggers."
Todd understands that it's a tall order to think Gold Rush can single-handedly inspire everybody to get together and make America a shining city on the hill again. What just might is to get "a bunch of conservatives [elected] who'll talk about getting us back on the gold standard," Todd says, kicking back in his RV after a day's shoot. "It'd save America. It'd make us a world superpower again. Paper currency is nothing; it's just the promise of something. Precious metal is the only real currency that we have."
It's this rather Vaseline-lensed picture that Congressman Ron Paul is currently flogging on the stump. The argument in favor, as Paul has it, is that people have been arbitrarily fond of gold for 6,000 years, and there's something essentially villainous in letting the Fed "manipulate money." Paul's crusade is recently catching hold among our elected offi;cials. In Utah, Republican state legislators passed a bill ratifying gold and silver as legal tender. Kindred legislation has been introduced in Idaho, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina, Washington, and Virginia, where, by way of explanation, state delegate Bob Marshall told voters, "If you look closely on a [dollar] bill, it doesn't say that it's money."
Even so, you'd have a hard time packing a phone booth with econ Ph.D.'s who think the gold standard isn't disastrous nonsense. The assortment of plagues a return to gold would inflict on our economy, experts say, is too vast to itemize here, so let's do something simple. Let's just imagine for a second where you'd be right now if the dollar were still yoked to gold. If you squint and are drunk, it looks pretty great.
Picture it: In the past decade, gold's ascendancy would have jacked the dollar up 500 percent compared with, say, the euro. Boosh—slam dunk! Superpower! Face! Though wait, hold on: What if you're a bright-eyed young entrepreneur who owns a factory that makes, say, bald-eagle flagpole toppers? Your competitor in China, who used to pay the stiffs in his beak-polishing department $6 a day, now gets them for $1 a day. His $60 bootleg of your Thrifty Patriot model now goes for ten bucks. Who wants to pay a 500 percent premium for your bona fide made-in-America eagle? Nobody. Everybody buys them from the Chinese guy. You lay off your employees and file bankruptcy. Your wife ditches you for a comparatively wealthy Zimbabwean roofer. You kill yourself. Everybody kills themselves. America ceases to push the envelope and run this planet.
Swap out a few details and this is more or less what happened in Britain in the late '20s. In 1925, after a hiatus from the gold standard during World War I, Winston Churchill tried to win some international status by going back to gold. The pound's value shot up. So did the price of British exports. The U.K.'s economy went off a cliff.
Meanwhile, back in the U.S.A., when panicked depositors made a run on the banks, the Fed, constrained by the gold standard, couldn't just print more money like in 2008. So the banks failed. People starved in shantytowns. We weren't a shining city on a hill.
To halt future bank panics, FDR outlawed the private ownership of bullion in 1933. The metal had a brief comeback in 1944 when, under the Bretton Woods accord, America agreed to settle accounts with gold. But when the French threatened to cast us into depression by demanding a treasury-rupturing payout of bullion in 1971, Richard Nixon punked them and took us off the gold standard for good.
History and expert consensus notwithstanding, the gold-standard rhetoric is resonating boomingly with the present conservative animus against anything that smacks of government or people with Ph.D.'s. Better to go back to gold, which comes from God and bulldozers and not what John Maynard Keynes called the "apparatus of the mind." Sure. Maybe. So let's ignore the fact that in the post-1930s fiat-money era, the Fed has so far successfully manipulated us away from cataclysms of Depression magnitude. It's your call, voter: Do we leave control of the money supply in the hands of Bernanke and his big-government elites, or do we turn it over to some people whose main thing is washing dirt?
To my surprise, not everyone in Dawson City is scrambling for a jackpot in the Nielsens or the hills. One morning I meet a rare human being who wants nothing more from the gold rush than what he's already got. His name is Caveman Bill, and hard-rock mining made his house, a comfy hole in a cliff across the Yukon River from Dawson. Bill, whose last name is Donaldson (a piece of trivia few people in Dawson City know), has spent fifteen years in the cave, and he speaks with some reverence about the builder and architect. "Back then [1920], everyone else was doing placer gold, but this guy—his name was Johannes Andresson—he stakes hard rock and started chipping away by himself. He'd never say shit to anyone about what he was doing, but every month he'd come to town and buy all his supplies with hard-rock gold. So the rumors started going rampant that he'd struck the mother lode over here."
Bill has tried a casual hand at mining and panning, but the fever never took. He remains bearish on the rumored hard-rock mother lodes. "By the time they put one shovel in the ground for actual mining, the price of gold will have probably gone tits up. But still, gold makes people fucking stupid, so everybody's speculating and jacking the stock price up, and they'll probably lose their shirt," Bill says.
Mining scars in the Yukon, both ugly...
Looking around Bill's cave, one gets the impression of a man committed exclusively to investments he can touch and use and smell. He has a laptop computer he runs off a solar panel, and some beautiful handmade cabinets busy with chiseled details and dovetail joints cut without the use of power tools. Salvage is big in Caveman's portfolio. The windows in his cave front were pried from oven doors. ("Insulated, double-paned—why not?") His front yard is dangerous with scrap wood and metal.
"Anyway, I've got all sorts of shit back here," he says. "Hey, check this out." He hands me a jar filled with frosty white matter. "Piss crystals."
"It's what?"
"For making homemade explosives. You can smell it if you want."
I say that won't be necessary.
"I'd been trying this recipe for gunpowder that used chickenshit tea, but it wasn't working out for me. I wasn't getting a good niter [potassium nitrate, a key ingredient in gunpowder]. Then I noticed in my piss jug, when I hadn't dumped it in a while, that I was getting this crystal formation. So I started collecting it.… It's ammonium nitrate, what fertilizer bombers use."
"So what are you going to blow up?"
Caveman Bill scratches at his beard, a less uptight version of the sort Ted Kaczynski used to wear. "I haven't decided yet."
Back indoors, Bill says, "But I never finished telling you about the guy who built this place. Anyway, he was here a year and a half, with everybody thinking he'd hit the mother lode. And just before the last boat left for the season, he put the place up for sale. He got eleven grand for it. The price of gold was twenty bucks an ounce in those days. The next day, he was gone. The new owners came over, and this is what they found."
He rubs a finger over a scintillant gleam in his ceiling.
"Wait, is that—"
"Fool's gold," says Caveman Bill, snickering musically.
After nearly two weeks in the Yukon, I have yet to set foot in an actual mine. It turns out, asking a miner to let you poke around his operation is a little like soliciting a stranger for a copy of his latest bank statement. But finally, after propositioning every Yukoner faintly redolent of diesel fuel, I'm invited to spend a night at a working mine, operated by Simon and Lil Hambrook, a resoundingly genial husband-and-wife team in their forties.
It's pushing midnight by the time I arrive, and in the undying subarctic sunlight, work is going smoothly. In the Yukon, water naturally stays liquid for only about 120 days a year. For a small operation like Simon and Lil's, you have to spend close to every hour of those 120 days tirelessly rinsing gravel.
...and eerily beautiful.
Before striking out on their own, Lil, an etcher-lithographer, worked as an administrator at arts institutes. Simon spent six years working for other placer miners, saving his money for his own equipment fleet, which he bought at auctions, piece by piece. The ground they're working now is lean,
Lil tells me, so lean that the miner who worked it before them lost a fortune of many millions before giving up. But thanks to the spiraling price of gold and the Hambrooks' eye toward effi;ciency, they're making quite an adequate living. This season they're hoping for somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 ounces. At today's price, that would fetch over $1.4 million, a sum that seems a little less pulse-quickening once you consider the host of overhead termites that get to nibble at it before Lil and Simon get paid. Off the top, a royalty of 10 percent goes to the claim owner. And there's food, tas, and payroll. And then, of course, there are the breathtaking diesel bills, $25,000 every few weeks, and the ludicrous cost of maintaining heavy equipment.
"Anytime you have an equipment breakdown, it's thirty or forty thousand bucks. It's like building a house—every day—cha-ching, cha-ching," she says. Lil goes on to articulate another reason you wouldn't want to put her and Simon on Gold Rush: When it comes to gold, they are calculated and pragmatic, not delightfully insane. "A lot of guys lose fortunes at this because with gold, people get stupid. They don't see it for what it is. They see Agamemnon's mask," she says. "The trick is, you can't chase it. Every day, you look at how much fuel you've used and how much gold you have, and if it's not good enough, you get out."
What compensates for the work's uncertainty, outlandish overhead, and tedium of spending all day, all summer long, washing dirt is that it's entirely free of the interpersonal maneuvering that running a multimillion-dollar business typically demands. "You don't have to go to meetings or pitch sales deals to people. The gold's there or it's not," says Simon. "When it is, it's quite neat to be making money out of nothing."
The process of mining placer gold is absurdly simple. With the heaviest-duty bulldozers and excavators you can afford, you scrape aside the permafrost and dig down to the bedrock, where the gold has settled over the years. Then you feed the pay dirt into the wash plant, basically a diesel-driven colander the size of a brontosaurus, which rinses and excretes boulders, rocks, and gravel above half an inch in diameter (known as tailings), reserving the gold-rich soils.
In the morning, I join Simon at the mine, where, in breach of his industry's customary secrecy, he lets me watch his daily cleanup—the process of rinsing the gold from the fine soils culled from the wash plant's trap. To collect the pure gold, Simon runs soils through a sluice, a sloping metal trough lined with a plastic woolly material overlaid with a mesh of what looks like cyclone fencing. Simon dumps shovelfuls of black dirt from a bathtub-sized hopper into the water coursing down the spillway. The current carries off the dirt while the gold, which is nineteen times heavier than water, settles out. Before long, a sparse yellow delta begins coalescing in the riffles. Okay. Gold. Nothing to freak out over. It looks like a scattering of nutritional yeast.
I keep fairly cool until Simon very casually puts a nugget into my fingers. It isn't much to look at, really, a bright little booger-sized chunklet no heftier than the crumpled foil wrapper from a Hershey's kiss. No big deal. Yet something is happening. My pulse hikes up a notch. Somewhere at the back of my mind a voice starts going OH GOD, OH GOD! RICHES! BULLION! ALADDIN'S CAVE! I'M HOLDING SOME ACTUAL GOLD! Not to get too Californian on you, but some energy is definitely vibing off this thing. Until now the idea of holding gold as an investment or otherwise hasn't offered the faintest allure, but now I am tuning something in, an unheard, insistent bleating that says, "Gather up a bunch of me and you will be safe from a bad and uncertain world."
I stare at it for a good while, trying to decipher this idiotic sensation. But it's no more decipherable than the experience of seeing the_ Mona Lisa _or spotting Tom Cruise in line at the Dairy Queen—the sensation, that is, of standing in the presence of something pregnant with fathomless value for reasons no one really understands. That's as articulate as I can be about what it's like to hold Simon's nugget. It's like holding a booger-sized Tom Cruise.
Simon, though, isn't freaking at all. "It's nice on a sunny day when you look down and see a hundred and fifty ounces gleaming in the sun," he says. "This isn't one of those days." Still, it's maybe thirty or thirty-five ounces lying there. And I sort of stammer that it's nothing to sneeze at, forty or fifty grand wrung from the humble dirt. "It seems like quite a bit, I guess, but then I just paid a fuel bill for $35,000," Simon remarks.
And looking behind him, at the vast heap of earth he had to move—165 tons per ounce of gold—it does suddenly seem like an utterly mad amount of work for a quantity of material that could fit into the front pocket of a pair of tight jeans. "It's retarded, isn't it?" says Simon. "The government should pay you not to do it."

Jamison Wexler - Photographer (http://www.jamisonwexler.com)
I'm a wedding and portrait photographer specializing in modern fashion- infuzed images. My personality is upbeat and fun...I bring a lot of energy to my shoots, while remaining professional. My tagline is "Weddings...with a twist of fashion"
Here are a few images that showcase my style:
My target brides are late 20's early 30's professionals. They have achieved a level of professional success, dress in designer labels, and want to look like they've walked out of the pages of Vanity Fair on their wedding day. They are into things that are elegant, expensive, but a little quirky and fun.
Looking for a logo that is inspired by some of the great iconic fashion labels and designs. I particularly love the modernist design aesthetic of the late 50's early 60's...Mad Men, Breakfast at Tiffany's, etc. I want something that is classic, and won't be dated in 5 years. I'm a man, so nothing too swirly or feminine. No cameras, apertures, or other bits of clip art normally associated with photography logos. Similarly no brides, grooms, etc. Approach it as if you are designing a label for a new line of couture clothing rather than a photography business. I have a fairly distinctive name, so that can definitely be worked in. I'd like a logo that can be attached to the bottom of photos, and used in branding materials, so something that can be easily constrained into boxes, circles, etc.

A simple nod, followed by a firm handshake, is how many farmers and landowners arrange short-term land rental agreements. But it's a luxury many of them no longer can afford, says one expert.
As economic conditions worsen, he says it behooves farmers and landowners alike to formally spell out these rental agreements. Most important from the farmer's perspective, land rental should be managed like any other risk factor associated with farming, says Max Runge, an Alabama Extension economist.
"With spiking input costs and market uncertainties, producers are going to need to manage their risks as best they can, and land is no exception," Runge said.
Currently, the majority of Alabama land is rented on a year-to-year cash basis, with most of these transactions based on oral agreements.
Along with other factors, Runge predicts that tighter lending practices will compel more farmers to negotiate more formalized land transactions in the future.
"Banks already are cracking down and asking agricultural borrowers for more detailed information about their operations," he said.
Also, as farmers deal with spiking operating costs, many may want to look at ways to better manage long-term soil fertility — an option that is not practical with short-term rental.
"In these cases, they may want to secure a long-term lease to improve fertility," Runge said. "The problem now is that producers who aren't sure about the availability of land from year to year aren't going to invest in fertility, even though this could prove highly worthwhile in the long run." Landowners also may benefit from this fertility enhancement.
The important thing is for farmers and landowners to develop carefully spelled-out agreements, which are signed by both and provide mutual benefits.
One option would be an agreement in which the landowner and producer alike share in both expenses and revenues, Runge says.
"This would be whatever the two decide to work out among themselves," he said, adding that a lot of this would depend on the location and size of the fields.
In addition to being carefully spelled out, the agreement should also include all projected costs. "Out-of-pocket costs are really easy to determine," Runge said. "What often isn't as easy to determine are machinery and fixed costs. These need to be clearly specified in the agreement. Rental land prices vary greatly depending on one's location."
"In cases where a farmer is the only row-crop producer in the area, there may not be a lot of demand and land rent may not be that high," he added. In other locations throughout the state, competitive pressures for rental land may be especially strong.

The call came at 3:00 AM. You'd be surprised how often the HoseMaster's phone rings at 3:00 AM. Mostly that's because my phone number is one digit off from 1-800-WETSPOT. So I answered it the way I usually do, "Hello, and welcome to the home of dirty laundry and fine wine, where it's all about the soil." Someone with a Norwegian accent asked for me. But Norwegians on 800 numbers are as common as Republicans at whorehouses so I didn't think a thing about it. "Speaking," I said. "Are you sitting down?" "No, genius, it's three in the morning; I'm practicing on my pogo stick." "You've been awarded the Nobel Prize in Wine Blogging."
Sure, the Nobel was something of a foregone conclusion, but I still thought the call might be a hoax. And I do have a friend who does a killer Liv Ullman impression (his Liv Ullman reading Frost is hilarious—not the poet, the frozen water). But once I confirmed that it wasn't a crank call I dropped what I was doing, stopped my brilliant work on HoseMaster of Wine, and began working on the acceptance speech I am required to give in
I'm not supposed to do this, but I'm going to share with my loyal band of readers (well, not so much a band as a septuplet) a sneak preview of my Nobel acceptance speech. I go on right after Obama and right before the guy who invented twist ties.
"Members of the Nobel committee, honored guests, fellow Nobel Laureates, it is an honor to be here in beautiful
"It was Alfred Nobel who invented Jimmy Walker and made it possible for me to say that winning this prize is Dyn-O-Mite!"
"When it comes to Wine Blogging I stand on the shoulders of giants. And they're pretty annoyed with the view. I walk in the footsteps of the real pioneers of Wine Blogging. Men like WineChump, who was the first blogger to solicit free samples from wineries and had the courage and foresight to never publish a bad review; WineChump, who accepted advertising on his blog only if it included the word "frottage;" WineChump, who expanded the very idea of a Wine Blog by writing about his own struggles with alcoholism and vocabulary. And there are so many others whose contributions are incalculable—Dr. Beano and his endless flatulence, 1WineDouche and his tireless self-promotion in the face of severe personality deficiency, In Vino Vanitas and her quest to make the wine world safe for her taste alone… These are the role models of all Wine Bloggers, and no wine blog is empty of their influence."
"…and so I said to Robert Parker, "Slim, you need something that your readers can hold on to, and I'm not talking spare tires. Wine reviewing is like fish, without scales the damn things don't make sense. Maybe a 100 point scale would work. It's stupid, but I think your readers will take to it…"
"I believe in Wine Blogging. I think that wineries, perhaps the entire wine business, would vanish if Wine Blogging ceased to exist. Sure, there were wineries and a wine business for centuries before bloggers, but it was meaningless and vapid. It is because of the rise of Wine Bloggers that the business is thriving today; that the quality of wines has never been better is directly linked to the vision and talent of Wine Bloggers. This is why it is not the responsibility of Wine Bloggers to have any knowledge or experience of wine before they start a blog. Knowledge and experience are red herrings, something you Norwegians are familiar with I'm guessing, they only hinder a Wine Blogger's ability to get to the truths about wine. And anyone who proclaims that the only Wine Bloggers worth reading are the ones who know about wine, have studied wines their entire lives, have devoted years and years to tasting and understanding wine, is an idiot. It behooves the wine industry to study bloggers, not vice-versa."
"Sure, I've been threatened. What Nobel Laureate hasn't? Faulkner was threatened by a movie studio mogul with making a movie about Jane Russell and a Yeti called 'The Mounds and the Furry.' Faulkner didn't flinch. Doris Lessing was threatened with a Richard Simmons makeover,
"The Nobel Prize means I will be able to continue my work in the great glare of the public spotlight. It means that truth and comedy mean something in the wine business, even if there isn't any. It means that I can replace my shoddy old tastevin with this shiny new medallion!"

Code Red DVD To Release Ghostkeeper
Due to overwhelming demand from horror fans, Code Red has acquired the 1981 Canadian slasher film Ghostkeeper.
A trio of friends on a snowmobile trip in the Canadian Rockies become lost after venturing up a trail during a bad snowstorm. They stumble upon a seemingly abandoned hotel lodge and decide to spend the night, unaware of the grave danger that they have put themselves in.
Internet columnist Amanda By Night says, "this Canadian horror film is slasher and monster lite, but has oodles of snow and deep synthesizer sounds to keep you going. Like 'Madman', or more appropriately, 'The Prey'."
Director Jim Makichuk is on hand to create extras for this lost slasher.
Street date TBA.

The best news yet, IMO! This flick is a slow-burn that just oozes macabre atmosphere. I hope to hear a director commentary on this one!

I would love for you guys to get the rights to another unsung 80's classic, DEADLINE (1981) directed by Mario Azzopardi, starring Stephen Young. GREAT movie, with lots of gore, and a thought provoking storyline. And while I am dreaming- BLOOD RAGE aka NIGHTMARE AT SHADOW WOODS, UNCUT!

Great to see another lost 80's slasher/horror film, Ghostkeeper, released on DVD.
Hope Code Red can release more 70's and 80's horror films. I doubt it will happen, but I'd like to see The Name of the Game is Kill (1968), Deadly Strangers (1974), Gemini Affair (1975), To All a Good Night (1980), New Year's Evil (1980), Graduation Day (1981), Night School (1981), Too Scared to Scream (1985) and Lover's Lane (1999) released on DVD.

Warner Bros. is promising to get Night School out this year. Graduation day has been released to DVD twice! Lovers Lane has been put out on DVD already also.
Code Red needs to stick to titles yet unreleased to DVD.

Can't wait to own this one! It's so great! I love Code Red! Now if only we could get Hospital Massacre...

To the poster who replied about some of the films I asked about...there was no harm in me asking, because not everyone knows if certain horror/slasher horror films are already available on DVD. Based on the Amazon.com pages for the two Graduation Day releases, both are in fullscreen ratio.

Great news BUT Code Red DVDs are not always easy to find. 'Primal Rage' for example can be found in amazon only from pricegougers, and DeepDiscount doesn't carry many at all. I've picked up many of your releases and will double-dip on 'Ghostkeeper' (I have the Sinister Cinema DVD) because you deliver the goods...as long as I can find it.

Today, Adobe made live its Linux release of AIR. AIR provides web browser-style development that moves beyond standard browsing by adding platform-specific programming features including windowing and file access. With AIR, developers can release applications that provide all of the standard web style functionality including Flash, Javacript and HTML. The AIR libraries turn that functionality into standalone applications that can be launched outside of traditional browsers.
But AIR doesn't stop there. AIR moves beyond web style interactions and adds access to the local file system, databases, and multiple window support. So you end up merging the ability to develop in a platform-agnostic manner with a much more powerful feature set than you'd find in a standard browser.
Today's Linux release joins already-released versions for Windows and Macintosh. It has been a popular product for Adobe. To date, Adobe AIR has been installed millions of times, according to Adobe's Adrian Ludwig, the group product manager for the Adobe Platform Business Unit. Today, Linux users will be able to download, install and run hundreds of AIR-based applications.
When you access an AIR-powered site on Linux, you'll be prompted to install the AIR support package. This consists of a set of libraries that are called by the applications, and which provide the platform-specific functionality that allows the same code to run on each operating system.
Core AIR features are available to all applications regardless of operating system. These features are built on three components. There's the basic Flash Player engine, which offers all the standard Adobe Flash features. There's Webkit, the open source browser engine. And finally, there's the client library, which provides client side SQL database access, local file system read/write access, multiwindowing capabilities and backgrounding features for threading processes. These three libraries provide a single process execution environment that allows AIR apps to run seamlessly on each target platform.
AIR applications
Even after today's launch, Adobe AIR will remain a feature that remains invisible to most users. Consider the eBay desktop application. It allows users to search, bid, browse, and watch auctions outside of the browser. When you go to the eBay website, a single Download button gives no indication that the app is powered by AIR. If AIR has not been previously installed, the AIR components are downloaded as part of the application download process.
Users can download AIR applications both from websites like eBay and from the Adobe AIR Marketplace. On the web-based side, Fox's News Live Desktop Player is powered by AIR, as is Nasdaq's Market Replay app. The Parley's eLearning site represents a smaller but no less interesting use of Adobe AIR technology.
The AIR Marketplace offers a much more varied and individualized set of applications. Here, you'll find utilities for sending SMS messages, checking CNN headlines, and compiling code snippets. It's clear though, by looking at the download numbers, that the Marketplace has yet to find a user niche. Third party site Refreshing Apps also provide a well-designed showcase for AIR apps.
Download counts on both the Marketplace and Refreshing Apps remain in the hundreds or, occasionally, thousands. The application types are quirky rather than commercial, making the AIR application store an afterthought rather than a compelling reason to install and use AIR at this time.
Developing for AIR
The AIR software developer kit is freely downloadable and provides AIR development tools for Linux, Mac, and Windows. It includes all the AIR API frameworks, the command-line based AIR developer tool (ADT) and the AIR debug launcher tool (ADL). In addition to the command-line tools, you can build AIR applications directly from Adobe Flex Builder 3, Dreamweaver CS3, and Flash CS3 Professional.
The AIR SDK offers all the standard features you'd expect including RSS feed services, data push, and data pull. You can build applications with vector graphics, sound support, persistent web connections, and more. The Linux version of the kit went live today and can be downloaded from the SDK page.
Why AIR?
So why does AIR matter? In the end, it's providing a next generation approach to moving between the cloud and the client. By introducing a more capable browser with the tools and services that tie into the client platform, AIR builds a system that leverages platform independent development. It's capable both at the local and Internet levels. And it's going to do all that without most people even being aware that they're using it.
It remains to be seen how widely AIR becomes adopted, but the early download numbers indicate it's already finding its home on millions of computers around the world.

Books about families fall into two categories: those proclaiming that we're all doing it wrong (delivered with a French accent or the roar of a tiger mom) and those detailing just how badly the author's parents messed up.
Although New York Times columnist Bruce Feiler figured there had to be some happy families out there, he knew he wasn't going to find them in the self-help section. "How-to manuals with their chirpy banalities pile up unread next to our beds," he writes. "Even our metaphors are outdated. Sandwich generation? Linda wouldn't dare serve processed luncheon meat to our kids. So what are we, then, just schmears of organic hummus in a vegetarian wrap?"
So Feiler set out to write a parenting/marriage manual without any self-help experts (a few crept in, despite his refreshing intentions).
"The Secrets of Happy Families" opens with a profile of the Starrs, a software engineer and his wife who used a system borrowed from Japanese auto manufacturers to streamline how they and their four children function as a family. Among the results: a kid-designed morning checklist and a weekly meeting to analyze what went well and what didn't.
Feiler interviewed former Green Berets about team-building exercises, and he got advice on allowances for kids from a banker Warren Buffett trusts. (It's much better to start managing money early, "with a $6 allowance instead of $60,000 salary or a $6 million inheritance.")
Celebrity chef John Besh, outraged that his wife took his four boys to McDonald's, realized that he needed to spend more time thinking about what the kids ate. His schedule made family dinner an impossibility, so the Beshes gather around the table for family breakfast and family dessert — as well as a blowout feast every Sunday. (Dinner is now a quick meal at 4 p.m., before sports practice.)
Not every idea will intrigue every reader. As the survivor of too many all-day meetings, I would rather have a family crest tattooed on my forehead than be responsible for unleashing another mission statement on the world, as suggested in a chapter titled "Branding Your Family."
Although Feiler spends a day on the set of the TV sitcom "Modern Family," the happy people he profiles would feel at home amid the cast of "Leave It to Beaver." Among the underrepresented in this book: single parents, gay parents, adoptive parents, and parents of children with serious illnesses or developmental delays. Feiler profiles several Jewish families and one African American family, but as far as this reader could tell, no Asian, Muslim, Latino or mixed-race parents.
And it turns out, Tolstoy was right: "Happy families" — at least the ones profiled in this book — "are all alike": They have abundant disposable income. In one chapter, Feiler interviews Zynga executives about how to have more satisfying family vacations. (The annual weeks spent on Cape Cod and occasional jaunts to Europe just weren't proving memorable enough.) Families struggling to pay rising grocery bills probably aren't going to have a "Eureka!" moment while reading about ways to get a hesitant child to swim under a Hawaiian waterfall.
Feiler has an engaging style, however, and his primary thesis — that people should work as diligently on their families as they do on their careers — is well worth exploring. Feiler, who received a diagnosis of a rare form of bone cancer when his twin girls were 3, is all too aware that a happy family is one of life's greatest treasures.
Zipp regularly reviews books for the Christian Science Monitor and The Washington Post.
discusses "The Secrets of Happy Families" with "Meet the Press" host David Gregory, also a father of twins, at the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington on Tuesday. For information, call Politics & Prose at 202-364-1919.

Its that time a year again. A time when goodhearted young men take a stab at a block of wood and try to turn it into a sleek racer. Boy Scouts everywhere compete to build cars from blocks of wood and are awarded for their speed and creative design. Of course the real fun happens when these same young men turn to their adult roles models in search of guidance. Experience has taught us to push the envelope of design (aka cheat) and we gladly impart this wisdom to our children, and bonding then occurs.
Since a Jeep is essentially an aerodynamic brick the folks over at Rugged Ridge had a head start into turning their block of wood into a stylish racer. Their team of engineers fashioned a scale CJ8 Scrambler complete with: Fender Flares, Mirrors, Off Road Lights, Jerry Can, Hi Lift Jack, Tube Steps and Spare Tire Carrier from their pine block.
How did it fare? When Rugged Ridge turned their Jeep over to the young racer, they had hopes of only scoring a trophy in the Pine Wood Derby Car Show. However, the wooden model was apparently more aerodynamic than its larger counterparts and scored 3rd in the races.

Election filing to start Friday
Filing for 2011 municipal elections will start Friday for most cities and towns in Catawba County.
Those wishing to file for election or re-election can visit the Board of Elections office in the Catawba County Government Complex from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Board of Elections Director Larry Brewer said potential candidates can also file for election through the mail, but said "most people come by the office because there are other forms to fill out, also."
Filing is July 1-15 for all cities and towns in Catawba County, except Hickory and Longview. Hickory and Longview's filing starts July 25 and ends Aug. 12.
"Longview and Hickory's filing starts later because it gives them a little more time to finish their redistricting," Brewer said.
Filing for the 2011 school board elections is also fast approaching, as potential candidates can officially declare from Aug. 19 to Sept. 9.
The filing fee for the municipal and school board elections is $5, excluding the city of Hickory, which charges $12 per candidate.
Election day is Nov. 8.

Help with Crohn's disease
This tea is better than medicine it helps with my Crohn's disease and IBS symptoms I only drink one cup every day and it works great I started early in the morning on an empty stomach a must to try
mmm mmm good
mmm mmm good also good for the body, awesome plain & simple I like it tastes good hot or cold. Green tea is good for the body, Turmeric is good for the body & Ginger is good for the body all 3 in a good tasting tea that's a no-brainer. If you don't like it I'll buy from you.
Turmeric Ginger
Perfect balance between the turmeric and the ginger. Knowing how good both of them are for me made it even more enjoyable.
This tea is a fabulously delightful green tea. I do wish there were more inside each bag, as I feel two are really needed per cup. However, with that said..it is a great sipping all day type of tea.
Turmeric Ginger Green Tea
I drink this tea every day. I have been buying it for more than a year.
Get some! You won't regret it.
love it!
Fantastic for Joint Arthiritis
I was on a prescription for Colchicine. This is more effective. After constantly having either foot or elbow swell up for nine months, I started drinking turmeric ginger green tea. I have not had a flare up in two years since then
I love the tea
Ginger Tumeric Tea
My herbalist told me I needed to drink this to get my inflamed stomach warmed up and feeling better. It worked! This is the only tea I drink to start my day!
I love it
Tumeric Ginger Green Tea
This is my third order, and I also ordered the sips. This tea is a comfort tea, so many healthy properties, and it's gotten me through bronchitis, and now chemotherapy!
Disappointed with this tea
This is the first tea I have had that I am disappointed with. There is very little flavor after steeping.
Detox tea
I love the tea
My favorite!!!!!!
I have tried many different types of tea....but this is my absolute favorite!!!!!
Good for the body
I have always heard that ginger was good for the body I recently read that turmeric was good. This way I get both & the best part is it tastes great.
one of my new faves
i love ginger and tumeric and i am not disappointed. i drink it iced with a squeeze of fresh lime. OMG... Very soothing for my sensitive stomach
Great Tea
My sister sent some to me for Christmas. Absolutely loved. Shared some with a friend who loved it. I then ordered more.
this has become my favorite go to tea
No More Swelling
I have had severe swelling and heat in both feet and elbows due to arthritis. I was given a prescription by my doctor after nothing else seemed to work. Shortly after starting the turmeric ginger tea, I quit taking the prescription medication and each of the other things I was trying. The tea did not eliminate the pain with my cmc arthritis in my wrist and I have occasional very minor pain in my feet, but the pain in the elbows is gone and the swelling and heat have not appeared in over a year and a half in either elbow or foot. I have recommended it to friends and several have responded that they received similar results.
Sooo good
I got this as a sample and was blown away by it. It doesn't actually taste like green tea at all which is ok with me. Instead it has a light honey-ginger-floral flavor that is really divine. It's very smooth. The ginger is not strong or spicy, but rather mellow and blends nicely with the undertone of turmeric and honey.
I have a couple of dozen of your fabulous teas, but this one is my all time favorite. I start my day with it and end my day with it....and sometimes in-between. When I have guests I put this tin away and let them select a tea from the rest of the collection. It's not that I don't like to share, but I won't share my tumeric ginger. Call me selfish.
Eases general aches and pains
I make a batch of tea every day in a quart saucepan of water, using 3 Tumeric/Ginger tea bags, and two others for flavor variety...sometimes add Elderberry tea for anti viral in the winter...and I feel so much better every day! One day I did a different pot without my Tumeric/Ginger and the next day I noticed my hands and joints just felt achy. At age 62 when things just change for no apparent reason in your body, this is a true blessing. I will not be without this tea ever again!
Good for the body
Ginger is good for the body so is Turmeric this is s delicious tasting tea.
Best tea ever!
This is a second hand review since I got this tea for my daughter. She said it is so delicious! She had it before and said it somehow got even better. Warm and complex and not too cinnamony like so many teas.
Wonderful and soothing
Heard turmeric was a natural way to help eliminate pain from arthritis. Better than another pill, so why not try it? I think it is helping, plus I really like the flavor. Very mild and no indigestion even in the evenings.
Good for more than just sipping! Feel good drink, too!
Love recipe suggestion of orange rind and lemon & Agave. Better than taking a pill.
Tumeric Ginger
I like the taste bought it for heath issue
Perfect Chilled Tea
I wasn't that fond of this tea when I tried it hot, but had a few samples and decided to try it iced. My thought now: Iced with Lime is Sublime!
My all time favourite tea
I LOVE this tea. A little bit spiced, enough caffeine for me, refreshing. I first discovered it on a trip to the US and now I have it shipped home to me in Au. NOTHING comes anywhere close to this great turmeric and ginger tea!
mmm mmm good
Hey green tea is good for the body, & ginger is good for the body so I tried it & it is very good together
Every Sip a Delicious Delight
There is nothing not to like about this tea. First the aroma is very inviting and then sipping the tea is lovely and very satisfying.
This teais really excellent with honey. If only it were decaf.. :(
This is by far my least favorite tea. If you like tumeric you will love this tea but it was too profound of a taste for me. I know that tumeric is so good for you but I'll get it in my smoothies.
Green tea with ginger and turmeric
I drink gallons of this--hot and cold. 5+ years ago I was diagnosed and treated for stage IV uterine cancer. So, this tea has all the right stuff and helps me consume the liquid I need. And the ingredients have known cancer fighting and nausea managing properties. I am an evangelist for this tea.
Turmeric green tea
Wonderful taste. Will order again
Health benefits
This really helps with imfammation. Wonder flavor
I didn't think I'd like this tea but it is really good. Also it has turmeric and ginger which are both really good for you
The description matched up to the reality...a new favorite!
We love green tea and coupling it with health benefits from tumeric is great
I have been an advocate of green tea and also of tumeric for their benefits to ones' health and wellness. I wasn't sure about tumeric in tea but gave it a try. The taste is present but light. We enjoyed both of the tumeric teas you have to offer and just ordered the bulk supply!
My Favorite of All Time
Organic Turmeric Ginger Green Tea! This is my favorite and I have been a citizen for some time now. I am ordering this tea in bulk now. It has the perfect blend of spices and it is a healthy green tea. I love how you recycle the paper left over from the tea bags as packing material for shipping! While you had me at "tea," I am now a die-hard fan at "recycling." Stay as great as you are!
Terrific Turmeric!
I currently take a turmeric extract (by the dropperful) and I love being able to also drink it as a deliciously refreshing tea. I have severe osteoarthritis but due to congenitally defective kidneys I am unable to take any medications for it. Turmeric has been wonderful.
I've heard good things about turmeric tea, so figured I'd give this a try. Pleasantly surprised! It's delicious.
Green tea
I have one of these tea bags every morning at work. With the tamarac ( spelling), I feel it puts me into a calming frame of mind knowing that I am healing as I drink this tea.I do not add anything else and the taste is great. Thank you!
Terrific Turmeric!
Turmeric has been a God-send for me. I am unable to take many medications including those for arthritis or pain. I am thrilled to have it as a tea. Mailed some to my daughter who has psoriatic arthritis. She loves it too. Thank you!
Ginger Turmeric Tea
My friend was over and saw my tea. He has been reading up on the use of Turmeric for inflammation. I gave him some samples so he can try them when he returned home.
Warming and Healing Tea
Love this tea! Really warms down to the bones! I add a touch of pepper to this tea. Black pepper enhances bioavailability of Turmeric. Great for a little arthritis in my hands - reduces pain completely! Even the smell of it is amazing!
Pleasant Surprise
I enjoy the flavor of this tea very much, with or without a little honey. I bought it for the anti inflammatory properties, but I was very pleased with the flavor.
My favorite -- loose-leaf too please
This is my all=time favorite tea -- I'd be even happier if you would make it available in loose=leaf too. Thanks for continuing to carry this unusual blend!
Delicious subtle earthy tones
One of my favourites.
hard to find
I found this at Wegman's grocery (Buffalo) a while ago and have been loving it ever since. I am not sure what the problem is lately - either a supply problem or it is just selling so fast ?? - but I haven't been able to get more. :( I love it especially when my sinuses are bothering me.
Love, love, love
I originally bought this tea because of the tumeric. Was sad last month when I went to order more and it was out of stock. I did order a similar tea from another company...bad mistake!! I am back to purchase more ~ love this tea <3
My Kind of Spice
While I love ginger and green tea, I was most delighted to see turmeric added to my favorite blends! I've tried other turmeric teas, but the flavor was flat and not to my taste, but this blend is perfection. A great way to get turmeric into your body. I even add an extra bag of ginger green tea for an extra spicy cup. I've given this to my sister who has back issues, and to my cousin who is currently battling cancer and I believe drinking this will greatly help them both. Thank you!!
Love the balance of flavors- the green tea , the ginger and turmeric and the touch of honey! Warming and full of anti inflammatory goodness!
Feeling better
Like it, for the benefits of turmeric and ginger.
A tasty and easy way to get your turmeric
The flavor of this tea is delicious, with a tang of turmeric and burst of ginger. Those of you who cannot tolerate pure liquid turmeric or turmeric pills may want to try this. I have it at night, and it is the perfect bedtime tea.
Not bad at all fella
Not bad at all fellas and galals. Thanks.
Love This Tea!!
Love the smell -- right from opening the container! Love the flavor! Very Mild and Mellow! I like to steep the tea apx. 5+ minutes. I bought this because I was looking for more ways to get turmeric in me and I am Soo happy I did.
Tastes Amazing
This tea tastes absolutely amazing. I like to leave the bag in for at least 5minutes, and just a half a packet of Stevia to sweeten. It tastes perfect, mellow and fragrant.
My favorite tea of all time
I initially got this tea because it has some of my favorite things in it: ginger, turmeric, and green tea. It was love at first sip! It is deliciously earthy with just a hint of sweetness from the honey flavor and a dash of spice from the cinnamon and ginger. I drink this every morning instead of coffee now. I work out hard and ride my bike everywhere and i tend to have sore muscles a lot of the time, so I appreciate the anti-inflammatory properties of this brew.
has become one of my favorites
a little honey and it's really good add ice and it is a little bit of heaven
Just love all the tea's i have tried so far. I plan to get my tea's from Republic of Tea . Very reasonable prices also.
Perfect for me, everyday!
A wonderful blend of turmeric (basic ingredient for curry) and ginger. Mild and sweet, I love adding a creamer for a truly delightful drink every morning. I have joint issues, so I picked this particular tea because both turmeric and ginger are known to be a helpful herbal supplement for such conditions. I also like mixing it with Ginger Peach. I stopped drinking coffee for health issues concerning caffeine, and absolutely love the limitless possibilities of tea!
Try it iced in a combination
I felt this tea was just so-so by itself when hot so I began to experiment because I wanted the benefits of turmeric and ginger. While trying various combinations, I discovered it makes a great iced tea when mixed with other teas. Trying to avoid too much caffeine, I mix 2 Organic Tumeric Ginger bags with one decaf green and one decaf black tea bag. The result is pleasantly refreshing when iced! My husband and I enjoy it every day.
Wonderfully Aromatic
Upon trying the Organic Tumeric Ginger green tea, the first experience I had was the delightful aroma that the tumeric, ginger, and cinnamon blend gives as it steams up from my cup. I was concerned that it would taste medicinal since turmeric and ginger can both be potent spices, but the cinnamon rounds them out nicely. This tea is a perfect harmony to delight the senses even as it provides all the health benefits and will be part of my daily regime. I feel fortunate to have found both a delicious and hearty tasting tea that is also very good for my health. Thanks Republic of Tea!
My favorite tea.. I add a drizzle of honey.
Never been a green tea tan Until Now!
I've never been a fan of green tea until now! I received this as a sample in my flier and put it away in my cabinet. I didn't plan on trying it because I've never really like the smell or taste of green tea but this tea changed my opinion! It smelled really good while brewing but I was still skeptical. I added my honey and took a sip; it was amazing. It was so good I ordered some. This tea has made me a fan of green tea.
I have purchased so many teas over the years, most of which I love and buy over and over again. I love ginger, and I sprinkle turmeric on food whenever I think it works, so I was really excited about this tea. I agree with the review that said that the only good thing to say about this was that it didn't taste as bad as it smelled. But OMG. I am sorry, but I thought it was awful. Tasted like medicine. So sad, was so looking forward to the combination. Still love so many of your other products, but this one was not for me and I felt I needed to share.
Quite Shockingly... Wow!
I received this as a sample from the Republic of Tea and have been extremely hesitant in trying it out, because I was assuming a very Southeast Asian/Middle Eastern like taste... specifically curry, hahahaha. However, it was... wow. You can definitely taste the green tea, but you also get hints of ginger and turmeric. It is not overwhelming at all, which was my greatest concern. Plus, it seems really great and the whole concept of it (taste, scent, and the idea) is very refreshing. The scent of the tea is very soothing like lavender. I am writing this review as a note to myself, that I really enjoyed this tea and I most definitely will buy it for myself and as a gift to others. I highly recommend it to new/old customers of Republic of Tea.
What a pleasant surprise
I received this as a sample in my brochure, and immediately knew I would buy some. It has a little kick of spice, but not too much. I really enjoyed it, and look forward to receiving this order!
So good!
Love this tea, it has a nice warm spicy note without being overwhelming. Love it at work.
Love this Tea
I love drinking this tea without any additions. Very mild, look forward to every cup.
Very nice tea
This is a lovely, gingery tea. Very pleasant taste and I'm looking forward to the homeopathic benefits.
This is such a warm wonderful flavor. I drink at least one of these a day. I've read that ginger and turmeric are good for you, but I continue to drink this because it tastes do good.
Delicious tea..wonderful fragance
I had never tasted tea from this company, and since my daughter gifted me this tea for use as an antiinflamatory; I found that it is delcious, just as it is..the aroma,taste, smoothness of this tea, was really suprising! So much so, that I am going to look into other products this company offers...defenitely a winner!
Was skeptical....
I wasn't sure I'd like this but I ordered it out of curiosity. After all, turmeric isn't exactly known for it's flavor. But from my first sip, I really really liked it. Has a nice 'bite'. This one is now officially added to the rotation!
Enjoy this delicious tea that brings healthful benefits
If you research the health benefits of adding Turmeric to your diet, you will be amazed. I've added the spice to my cooking, but wanted more. As I love green tea and favor organics, I thought I'd give this a try. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical of a turmeric tea, but this is FABULOUS. I drink it daily and have already gotten a couple friends and my teenager hooked on it, too. Now, it's my ONLY tea.
One of the best green teas I've ever tasted! I drink it every day...
This tea in place of NSAID
This tea along with Biodynamic Organic Turmeric Cinnamon has a great flavor but more importantly is a wonderful, organic anti-inflammatory. Love love love it!!!
Nice alternative to plain green tea
Nice spicy flavor for a green tea. Healthy spice, according to reports.
pain free
This tea has an acquired taste, however after several cups I now thoroughly enjoy the flavor! I started drinking turmeric ginger green tea for its antioxidant and high anti-inflammatory ingredients. I injured my knees, elbows and hips with weight lifting. Stopped the weights and started drinking 4 cups of this tea daily and I no longer hurt.
To Your Health
An amazing tea! The mild earthy taste of the turmeric is initially unusual, but, mixed with the more alive ginger and cinnamon tastes, quickly gives the feeling of a refreshing whole body cleanse. I love it as a bedtime tea even though it's a green tea. With a nice bouquet of flavors,it has some of the best anti-inflammatory properties of any tea. The turmeric helps to tonify your body organs and the ginger has cooling properties that also sooth away inflammation giving this tea perhaps the most powerful healing properties of any tea you can drink. Drink it everyday!
Helps my joints
Love this tea! It seems to help my mild joint pain.
Health Benefits of Tumeric and Ginger
This tea has a nice smooth taste and many health benefits! I buy it in bulk and sip all day long.
Wonderful Tea!
Really smooth and fragrant tea. Not too strong. It has a lovely balance of flavor. Slightly sweet but I still add a little honey and cream. Delicious! With all the health benefits added it is the perfect tea.
Happy That I Like It!
I was a little wary to try this, just couldn't imagine turmeric being tasty...but this is earthy, pleasant, aromatic and light but with body. I really enjoyed my first cup and look forward to making a habit of this healthy, beneficial tea. I appreciated one reviewer's mention of cooking with the tea...I plan on saving my used tea bags and infusing rice water with them!
Powerful Antioxident! Great Flavor!!
Was given to me at first then ran out and decided to buy the 250 bag refill! I mix with a touch of local organic honey! Delicious!! I am an advocate of eating as organic as possible! I believe that daily consummation of turmeric will help prevent the development of cancer and help maintain a healthy body ph!
Love this tea!
Tumeric has so many health benefits, and is often hard to get into the diet. What better way than to enjoy it with a delicious ginger green tea!! I feel this tea gives my health a boost in such a delicious way!
Lovely tea & fragrance
It took me four tries before I eventually succumbed to the fragrance of this delightfully fragranced tea; a co-worker recommended it and I am forever grateful ; served with a slice of fresh lemon rounds renders the tea even more palatable. Thank you for stocking it!
Great tea
Tea has a wonderful aroma and is sweet without any additives. Also as a cancer survivor anything which reduces inflammation is desirable but not everything tastes this good! I am very glad to have found this tea.
spicy but silky to the tongue
very pleasant and lively enhanced with more zest is energizing
Great tea
This tea is a great tea. I've been drinking a couple a cup a day for a few months now and I think it is helping my arthritis in my joints. The tea is the only thing I've done different in my drinking and eating habits. So, I figure it must be this tea. Plus it sooooo yummy.
I am a cancer survivor so I was very excited to try this tea. Potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties PLUS a delicious flavor profile. Very soothing aroma. Love it!
Not sure if it is completely because of the ingredients, but my tendonitis has markedly improved since I started drinking this tea! Thank you, RoT!!
Love this tea!
My husband and I have been drinking the Limber tea daily. I decided to try the turmeric green tea. Boy was I glad I did. It has a lovely mellow taste. so now I drink the this tea, and my husband drinks the limber. We are both content.
Healthy and Tasty
I started drinking tumeric and ginger tea to help reduce chronic inflammation. I can't say how much the tea actually helps, but along with an improved diet and increase in exercise, I feel the best I've ever felt in my 26 years! It tastes good too :-)
My new favorite Tea
I love this tea. It is part of my morning routine everyday. Healthy way to start the day and a great afternoon treat also.
Home Run
Smoothe, feels like life in cup. Nothing like ginger, Tumeric, and Bromelain to fill body and soul with the high of well being. Love ginger peach and red raspberry, but this one is the BEST!!! Bulk buy for me!
Great for calming your stomach & inflammation
Turmeric and ginger are a great health combination in this tea. It helps my stomach issues. It grows on you the more you drink it and you love knowing that it's so good for you.
Really helps with inflammation!
I never had a tea like this before so honestly the first day that I tried it, I had to take small sips throughout the day and put honey in it to be able to drink it. I preferred it cold at first vs. hot. But by the 2nd day I was able able to drink a full mug normally and by the third day I was drinking 2 cups of the tea per day and have gotten used to it. At home I boil some green tea and pour green tea onto the turmeric ginger tea and add Raw Honey and Cinnamon and it tastes wonderful and you taste the turmeric less but still get the benefits. I have really noticed a difference since drinking the tea and have been feeling much better from my back and have not needed to take any anti-inflammatories since drinking this tea! I noticed the one day I didnot drink it that I did have more aches and pains. My husband tried it and it has been helping him as well. Love it! and will definitely continue ordering it! I ordered 2 tins to have one at home and one at work!
Wasn't Sure I'd Like This
I received a sample of this in one of my previous orders. I looked at it for a long while, thinking the combo of tastes had to be odd. I finally tried it and now it's one of my very favorites! I would have never thought turmeric in tea would be a good idea but it's exceptional. I'm going to need refills soon!
The Perfect Soothing Mix
I don't buy much herb tea, having found many incompatible with my taste or inflammatory health issues. But this caught my eye because of the ginger/turmeric/cinnamon/green tea combo (I'm not even a green tea fan!). I use all regularly as known/proven antiflammatories. Though skeptical of their pleasing mix in a tea, I decided to give it a try, based on trust in ROT. What a surprise! From the "clean-but-earthy" aroma to the matching taste, to the overall soothing effects, I've been delighted! Don't drink it every day, but find it just right for raw/rainy and particularly stressful or painful days. I take it straight, find it comforting to hold it in my favorite round-bellied mug with both hands, inhaling happily as I bring it in for a sip. Almost as good as a comforting hug! THANK YOU for this health-supporting gift!
Delicious Tea
This tea is great. Smooth, not bitter, and has an excellent taste. For those who put sweetener in their tea, you can drink this without! I love it and have been buying it for over a year.
Medical use
Ginger and turmeric are anti-inflammatory. I was blending my own until I found it pre packaged. I have used this tea 2 times a day for 3 weeks to reduce the pain and swelling in my neck shoulder and hand for authritis. I am now 5 months pain free by drinking 1 cup daily. Try it I am sure you will find the same results.
Awesome earthy taste
I love that they did not try to add rose hips or hibiscus to this tea. It has a clean earthy taste that I can't get enough of. This is like no other tea I have ever tasted.
Amazing flavors combine to make this one a genuine surprise. The fragrance of the tea is wonderful to enjoy as well. Clean and refreshing with fruity notes. I will be re-ordering this one! I ordered it because of the reported health benefits of turmeric and of ginger not expecting it to delight my taste buds...more of a "medicinal" tea I was predicting. I was pleasantly proven wrong. If you have not sampled this one I suggest you should.
not bad
The taste is better than I expected, but not enough to make me add it to my regular repeat buys. There just isn't enough cabinet space. Do make sure you wipe up spills right away since the turmeric stains. I now have a yellow ring on the counter that I didn't catch quickly enough.
pleasantly mild
Love this tea!
Just tried this tea-got the sample with my last order. I am very impressed and will order more!
Delicious & Soothing
I find this tea to be delicious, earthy and very soothing as my morning cup. I have had issues with stomach upset from certain tea, and the zingy ginger and spicy turmeric are the perfect combo for me. And with the outstanding health properties of ginger, turmeric and green tea, it's perfection in a cup!
Pleasantly surprised!
Like so many of you who left comments about this tea, I, too, was VERY hesitant about this tea. I have IBS, so I actually take turmeric supplements, and based on how they smell, I certainly would not have tried this tea had I not received a sample. I was super curious when I initially received it, so I opened it to get a whiff. Same earthy smell as the tablets I take (like stinky feet)! Anyway, here it is a month or so later, and since I hadn't thrown the sample away, and since I had a really rough night last night with the IBS, I decided to finally give it a try. Seriously, this tea is AMAZING. I can taste both the ginger and the turmeric, and it is surprisingly smooth and delicious with the honey (I always add my own as well). No heartburn issues with me, either (as noted in a couple comments) -- it is mild, delicate, and soothing -- and this is coming from a person who actually ADDS ginger powder and white pepper to a cup of chai tea! At any rate, I'm here tonight to purchase this delightful tea.
Place Catchy Title Here
Just like many of the other reviewers, I received the bag with the magazine and was turned off by the scent at first. I also decided to try it anyway and was very surprised I liked it so much. There was a unique flavor there that I could only describe as 'earthy'. I plan on ordering some, and recommend trying it.
Smells funny but tastes delicious
I received a sample tea bag with a catalog I received in the mail. It smelled strange and I did not think I would like it, but decided to take a chance... So happy I did!!!! It's tea is excellent! I drink it without honey most of the time, but its delicious with a teaspoon of honey also. I highly recommend this flavor. Some reviews said it gave them heartburn, I have not experienced this problem at all. In fact, I found that the ginger actually settles my stomach.
Love it!
several reviewers did not like the smell in the bag dry.... I found it intriguing. I love tumeric and ginger both but would not have considered tumeric in a tea. I like tea very weak so I poured almost-boiling water over the bag and left it for maybe 45 seconds. this created a delicious, delicate tea which I really enjoyed.
Pleasant but....
I wasn't impressed w/the flavor. Ginger teas are some of my fav's but I wasn't WOW-ed like so many others. Recvd a sample bag w/my catalog & glad I could try it as a sample instead of buying a tin. The blend is pleasant, just not my cuppa tea ;^)
Delightfully Mislead
First, I am VERY picky with tea, and there are very few flavors that I like. A score of three is a good score for me. With that in mind I got the bag free with the catalog. It smells like a hippie's house, which I did not like, but I gave it a shot anyway. It was absolutely delicious. The scent was misleading, and I really liked the tea.
What a surprise! I got a free teabag with the catalog. I opened it today and smelled the teabag. YUCK! ...or so I thought. I figured I'd give it a taste anyway, I could always throw it out but I was so pleasantly surprised to find that it's delicious! I have rosacea so I hope the anti-inflammatory properties will help that.
Surprisingly wonderful
I needed more ginger in life so I decided to give this a whirl. It is sweet and tasty. I can taste the ginger and turmeric, and the touch of honey in the tea mellows the spice. I was concerned about heartburn (a problem for me) but I had none. My favorite.
Benefits of turmeric in a new way
I know no medical claims are made for turmeric teas but I am a believer in the value of turmeric and enjoy using turmeric tea either by itself. Also I often combine a bag of Turmeric tea with another tea or with Tart Cherry concentrate for the benefits of both.
Smooth but has after effect
After reading several good reviews, I decided to try this blend because of the great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of ginger and turmeric. Although the tea tasted smooth enough, I found that it gave me terrific heartburn an hour or two after drinking - so no more spiced turmeric ginger for me! I'll stick with some of my other Republic of Tea favorites.
great tasting & medicinal
not only is this tea soothing & taste great, the turmeric & ginger with the other added ingredients has helped my asthma. on a scale of 1-10 my asthma has come down to a 1-2 from 8-9 & it's fall in Chicago which is a bad time for me. I drink 3 cups a day & can even sleep thru the night, I add organic honey-do not add sugar! turmeric & ginger have anti-inflammatory properties & ginger soothes my stomach. I can go around flowers & fresh cut grass. I'v been in & out of the hospital & intubated twice. I'm sooo glad I did my research & found this tea. I wish I'd had it 30 years ago! THANKS REPUBLIC OF TEA ('-')
Of all the Turmeric brands, this one is not only the best tasting, it does indeed bring soothing and healing to the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
suprizing taste
very pleasent flavor
I drink a lot of tea and this is by far my favorite. The addition of turmeric is wonderful. Such a smooth cup of tea, I start each day with a cup or two. I have to buy this in bulk because my husband who usually goes for fruit teas, has discovered he loves this one too.
each cup tastes so fresh and consistant Thanks for such a good product.
Organic Tumeric Ginger - TASTY !!
I wasn't sure what to expect but wanted to try this tea because it has tumeric in it. It turned out to be pleasantly surprising - a gentle flavor with a little subtle spiciness to it. Very enjoyable. My only regret is the cost of shipping and I hope TROT is working hard to bring that cost down at least on their refill shipments. So 5 teapots for the tea and 3 teapots for the shipping charge.
Great! Great! Great!
Wow! I loved this from the very beginning. I recently purchased directly from their web because the place from where I usually get this has been out of Turmeric Ginger for quite a while. First time I tried it, I was amazed. I highly recommend this product, if you don't like it, you probably are too picky and just to hard to make happy, because it is truly tasty; add some milk, cream, or simply by itself; it's just wonderful. I really can't see anybody not liking this; just in case you don't like it, at least try it a couple of times so that you can really appreciate the hidden taste, close your eyes, and your taste buds will thank you.
nice flavor but more important than the taste, my husband finds it helps him with inflammation when his back acts up.
Great to cook with, too!
I was a bit hesitant to try this tea but since I love ginger and green tea I gave it a try. Makes a lovely golden cup of tea -- the turmeric and ginger are present without being overwhelming. However I find the real strength of this blend lies in cooking with it. I add one bag along with a few threads of saffron to the pot when I am cooking brown rice. The spices in the tea infuse into the rice and give it a fabulous aroma and taste as well as a lovely golden color thanks to the turmeric.
Enjoyable and Healthy drink
I find this an enjoyable way to take my medicine. I try to eat foods that cool inflammation in my body and from what I read this combination is quite helpful in this area. And -- it tastes good too.
Pain Relief!!
I read online that Turmeric Tea is an Anti-Inflammatory and has helped MS patients. I don't have MS but have an inflammation on my spinal cord (Transverse Myelitis) which has caused me pain in my legs and feet for 3 years now. So, I ordered the tea and have been drinking it, 2 cups every day for about 3 weeks now and am actually feeling some relief! I am so excited that I am feeling better and have less pain and the reason has to be because of this tea. The taste is light and pleasurable also.
Warm and Cozy
I must admit the first bup was a bit off-putting, not at all what one would expect from a green tea, but the spicy, earthy warmth of the turmeric won me over. This is one of my favorite go to teas on a chilly morning. And drinking something so health promoting gives me a mental boost too.
my all time favorite!
this is my favorite of them all! it has all the health benefits & it's organic. i make sure i take this daily & it taste good, too.
In Love
I purchased this tea strictly out of curiousity and ended up falling in love with it! The flavor loosely resembles a chai flavor, but is lighter. I've added this tea to the #2 spot on my top 5 Republic of Tea teas.
Good and different
Earthy but light, pungent and aromatic. Ginger is not overwhelming, no "heat", very balanced with other flavours. I could imagine how some folks wouldn't love this tea, in particular people who rarely drink tea. But I like it and the health benefits.
healthy and delicious
I first ordered this tea as a way to get turmeric into my daily diet. Now I keep a supply in my home and office at all times because I enjoy it so much and I like knowing I'm doing something good for my health. I use a large mug and combine the turmeric tea with cinnamon orange red tea. The natural sweetness of this blend makes added sweetener unnecessary and complements the spices. I hope both of these teas will always be available because I'm hooked!
Terrific Tea
Tempting flavors in this tea, but the terrific comes when you drink it every day. It's produced a significant reduction in pain produced by inflammation and an equally significant increase in joint flexibility. This tea deserves a permanent place in the ROT market.
This is the only tea I make at home now.
I saw this on a shelf in an organic grocery store and thought it sounded so healthy. After a few months of drinking two cups a day, I noticed that all of my daily aches and pains had diminished significantly. I used to take advil and tylenol several times a week and now I rarely need any pain medications. I love the tea, the taste of it and the health benefits. I have told almost everyone I know about it. My yearly allergies, which would have started up by now, have not started up this year and I really think it's the tea. Thank you so much for making this very special tea.
Excellent Tasting and Anti-Inflammatory
I'd been trying to incorporate Turmeric into my diet for months and had been supremely unsuccessful until I tried this tea. I was pleasantly surprised at it's sweet and spicy taste. The powerful synergy of Turmeric and Green Tea (along with Ginger) make this tea the perfect way to get those critical herbs!
I like this tea very much. But I did have to get use to the ginger taste. It helped me get rid of a cold I had quickly. That was the only tea I drank when I had my cold. I didn't take any mediation either. Maybe it will work that way for some individuals and not for others I don't know. I look forward to drinking it now, whenever I have even a hint of a cold.
Health benefits
I tried this initially because of the health benefits of the ingredients. It has since become 1 of my favorites & I hope it continues to be available into the future.
Afternoon boost
I like a BIG mug of tea, so I make this with 2 teabags, add sweetener and sometimes soymilk. A good afternoon pick me up.
Ayurvedic delight
Beautiful blend of healing in a cup. Good for inflammation, good for digestion, just plain good for health.
I love this tea!!
I love this tea, my family loves this tea! When we had the beginnings of colds, we drank it 3x/day for a few days and the colds never happened! I highly recommend this tea! You can add a bit of your favorite honey to sweeten it and soothe a sore throat! Awesome tea! Thank you!
The only good thing I can say about this tea is that it doesn't taste as bad as it smells. Couldn't taste the ginger, cinnamon, honey or the green tea--just a kind of dirty taste when I was expecting a "curry" experience. The rest goes into the circular file.
I love this tea!
I tried this tea for the Turmeric benefits but I have noticed it has been a hugh help with weight loss, plus it tastes great! Bonus!
What an awesome tea!
I LOVE this tea! What an awesome way to get antioxidants! Turmeric and Ginger lend a nice, mellow, earthy taste to green tea....it's like meditation in a cup!
