Hot Pot Where Dreams Are Made Of*
My mother, who lives in Hong Kong, has just been in New York for my wedding. She brought with her a tin of Jinhua cured ham–China's answer to prosciutto–and a big bag of tip-top dried shiitakes.
Dried shiitakes are nothing like dried porcinis. Porcinis are dried and reconstituted mostly for their flavor, but soaked shiitakes are plump, meaty, delicious in their own right. In fact, I much prefer dried shiitakes to fresh–the drying process concentrates the mushroom's savoriness in the same way a the sun or a slow oven transforms a tomato, while a long hot bath protects against the sun-dried tomato's leathery mouthfeel.
These mushrooms, I've learned, can vary dramatically in price. The cheaper ones are grown on sawdust and have relatively little flavor; the expensive ones are cultivated on logs and work on your taste buds like nature's MSG. My mum did not skimp.
So I've been nursing myself back to pre-wedding health (hey, this getting-married stuff is hard) by combining the ham and mushrooms in a dish I have just decided I will call, in the tradition of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall (a Cantonese preparation named for its ability to entice monks to abandon their vows of vegetarianism), "Brodsky Emerges From Under The Couch." (Brodsky is one of my two rabbits, and he is kind of famous.)
It must be those tantalizing carrot aromas:
There are two basic categories of hot pot. The first is an "interactive" sort: a vat of hot broth into which the diner dunks his raw ingredients, cooking each morsel à la minute. This isn't that, although I like that, too. In this, the second kind of hot pot, everything goes in at once, and is already more or less cooked when it goes in. The portable stove is only there to (a) keep everything warm, and (b) be fun.
If you don't already have a hot pot machine, you should buy one. We've had one for a year and never tire of it; in fact, we've hot-potted three times this week. Ours is a nifty electric thing that we picked up at Fei Long Supermarket in Sunset Park for 50 bucks or so, which I much prefer to the camping stoves some restaurants use, because I have an irrational fear of gas canisters exploding, as well as an actually quite rational fear of the pot getting knocked over in the course of a fishball tussle and melting my face off. (Our pot locks onto the heating base, so you'd have to try quite hard to send it flying.) It's a marvelous way to entertain, because you don't really have to cook anything–you just have to slice.
To reproduce this particular hot pot–though, really, this is more of a general method than a firm recipe–you will need:
- dried shiitakes, soaked in hot water until soft and pliable, stems removed and grit cleansed
- a small amount of Jinhua ham, or Virginia ham, or ham hock, or prosciutto
- sliced carrot rounds, which you can cut into little flower shapes if you're feeling fancy
- fresh tofu and deep-fried tofu puffs (the former is silky; the latter soaks up umami like a sponge)
- good chicken stock, emboldened with some of that mushroom soaking liquid (strained of grit, of course)
- a big fat Napa cabbage, roughly sliced
Assemble all your ingredients in the pot and cover with the chicken stock. Because nothing that goes in this hot pot is raw or cannot be eaten raw, you only really need to bring it to a simmer; the cabbage and carrots will cook in minutes.
You can vary the ingredients, of course, but I don't recommend putting raw meat into this kind of a hot pot because the soup gets scummy quickly. But fear not: although there's barely any meat in it and next to no fat, the combined kapow of the shiitakes and cured ham give this simple dish the satisfying, round flavor of Cantonese oyster sauce. Serve with ponzu and/or chili sauce for dipping, and a heap of chopped scallion tops for fragrance, and when all the goodies have been plucked from the pot, ladle the soup over white rice.
It will clear your sinuses, warm your house, delight your friends, and arouse the curiosity, if you have one, of your rabbit.
* An homage to the peculiar syntax of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' 'Empire State of Mind,' a song whose pleasures should really have made it onto the Village Voice's recent list of fifty euphoria-inspiring features of life as a New Yorker, particularly when it comes on the radio/out of the DJ booth while one is out of town, and one gets to dance and gloat at the same time. But it works just fine in situ, too.

Four or five straight hours of tennis doesn't seem to faze the players—even if Donald Young looked a bit wobbly after his marathon Friday night—but it's tough on spectators. Not the matches themselves, but the heat, the sun, above all the surging crowds moving in a constant swarm through the grounds and inducing the claustrophobic feel of a subway platform with no train in sight.
Where to find respite without exiting the scene? You might try the U.S.T.A. bookstore. Outer-court geeks may remember it used to occupy two smallish booths near Court 10. But this year it has been given a spacious new venue inside the Chase Center, across the walkway from Armstrong Stadium.
Guess what: it's a real bookstore, tennis-centric, to be sure, but with actual books to browse–printed words that aren't draw sheets or scoreboards.
When I stopped in Thursday at about 4 p.m., Allen Fox was signing paperback copies of his 2010 book "Tennis: Winning the Mental Match." Dr. Fox, as he's identified on the cover, coached the Pepperdine University tennis team in many glorious seasons and has worked with a number of top players, including Brad Gilbert, Dinara Safina and Sam Querrey. He currently coaches Igor Kunitsyn, who presumably employed his mentor's teachings in winning his first and second round matches at this year's Open.
This season's hottest tennis book, "Rafa," the star's best-selling memoir, with heartthrob cover photo, sits in eye-catching stacks near the storefront. "It's been our runaway best-seller this week," said the shop's manager, Rick Rennert — even though Nadal declined, after some deliberation, to sign copies on the premises, lest it distract him from his main task. (He did agree to a signing at Barnes & Noble, in Manhattan, just before play began; but the event was canceled because of Hurricane Irene).
A more accommodating memoirist was Andre Agassi. Multiple paperback copies of his best-seller "Open" are also plainly on view. "He stopped by last year and signed copies," Rennert said. How many? "I don't have the exact number here, but it was a lot. A couple of hundred, and he was nice to every person he signed for."
Rennert — towering, nattily-attired and genial — is himself a fixture at the Open. This is his 15th year on site, dating back to 1997, when he he was hired by the U.S.T.A., after a long career as a book editor and publisher, to form a publishing department. It's a many-tentacled job. When not readying the bookstore for the Open, Rennert oversees an array of publications, which range from the glossy annual U.S. Open program — in reality a Vogue-sized magazine (contributing writers this year include Bud Collins and John Feinstein) — to "The Open Book," a handsomely illustrated coffee-table item released a few years ago.
The bookstore's staple is books on strategy, no-nonsense manuals that promise to lift your game. Fans hungrily seek them out. "They'll come in each year and say, 'What have you got?'" Rennert told me.
But there are also spiritual-advice volumes like "Game, Set, Life" and novelty items like "Strung Out" (billed as a "tennis mystery"). Rennert buys these titles, which are often self-published, on consignment, meaning he splits the proceeds with authors and then returns the unsold copies. And while he generously dispenses wild cards, giving newcomers a shot, "I vet everything," he said firmly.
Rennert was for some years the head of Chelsea House, a publisher of young adult nonfiction books, and this background shows in the display of children's titles — including an illustrated biography of the great champion Althea Gibson (twice a winner of the Open — or the U.S. National Singles Championship, as it was then called), who is still perhaps the most unsung African-American athlete of the 20th century.
And for parents who have brought young children to Flushing and subjected them to one too many matches, and allowed them one too many soft drinks, there's much else to browse — for instance, two walls of framed photographs, about 30 in all, of Arthur Ashe. They are the work of Ashe's widow, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, a professional photographer who was at the bookstore last week to set up the exhibit.
A second installation, on loan from the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., is a giant illustrated timeline of tennis history, built on the theme of the sport in wartime (an acknowledgement, suitably oblique, to the approaching 10th anniversary of 9/11). It too has been presented with care, in this instance by Douglas Stark, the director of the Newport museum, who like Rennert will be in the store each day of the tournament.
So far business has been brisk. "Sales are up more than 50 percent over last year," Rennert noted. "Who says bookstores are dying?" He credits the new location, but exudes the pride of a book-person. "We're in the Chase Center," he said. "But I tell people we're the cultural center."
After a day of ferocious sun, brutal competition and of milling with thousands of strangers, it feels more like an oasis.

Attorney General
Bill McCollum
News Release
December 5, 2007
Media Contact: Jenn Meale
Phone: (850) 245-0150
Attorney General McCollum Unveils Proposed Code of Conduct for Student Lending at Public Universities
~ Code will be presented to Board of Governors at upcoming meeting for approval ~
- Attorney General Bill McCollum today unveiled a proposed Code of Conduct to protect Florida students from potentially unfair practices when they are applying for educational loans. The Code of Conduct will be presented to the Florida Board of Governors for its consideration at the Board's meeting being held today and tomorrow at the University of Central Florida and, if approved, would be implemented at all of Florida's public universities. The Code is also being reviewed by Florida's community college presidents for implementation or adoption as part of their internal institutional policies.
"Our educational institutions must protect the best interests of the student when giving out financial guidance. The Florida code goes a long way toward ensuring this, and I appreciate the cooperative efforts of everyone who has worked to protect those interests," said Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum. "Students and parents need full disclosure of all their loan options in order to make the best financial decisions for their education."
The Florida Code was developed in cooperation with staff from the Board of Governors and the Florida Department of Education as well as representatives from Florida's public universities and community colleges. Initial development began in May after Attorney General McCollum received information regarding allegations of unfair practices in the student lending industry. Seeking to protect Florida students from similar practices, Attorney General McCollum's Economic Crimes Division sought and obtained information about student loan processes at Florida's 11 public universities, 28 community colleges and several private universities.
While no significant conflicts of interest were uncovered by the Attorney General's Office during its review of the public universities, Florida's investigation into several private institutions is still underway. Similar investigations by state Attorneys General across the nation have uncovered conflicts of interest and deceptive practices in the $85 billion college loan industry including gifts, trips and even stock in lender companies directly given to financial aid officials by lenders. The Florida Code was created to address these and other questionable practices in the student loan industry and to ensure that students and parents are protected from conflicts of interest that might motivate schools to steer students to a particular – and possibly more expensive – lender. Any resolution of the Attorney General's outstanding investigations of private institutions in Florida will more than likely include a requirement that the institution adopt Florida's Code.
The Code includes the following provisions:
- The Code prohibits university employees from receiving any personal benefit from student loan providers. Cash, stocks, gifts, entertainment and expense paid trips may never be accepted from a lending institution. Likewise, an individual may not accept payment for lodging, meals or travel to conferences from a lending institution.
- The Code provides that university financial aid employees may not be paid to serve on lender advisory boards.
- A university may not accept anything from a lending institution in exchange for any advantage provided to that lending institution.
- The university shall not allow lenders to staff the university's financial aid office or allow lenders to create the impression that the lender's employees are employees of the university.
- The university must explain the criteria used for selecting preferred lenders.
Under the new Code, a university that decides to use a preferred lender list will be required to make extensive disclosures to the borrower, including where to find information on other lending institutions or interest rates and where to find information on any agreements by "preferred lenders" to sell their loans to other entities. The university must also disclose that it will promptly certify loans from any other lender selected by the borrower.
Nationwide, two-thirds of all college graduates leave school with student loans. A copy of the proposed Florida Code is available

Howdy Beaver
By Alkali Springs Correspondent
For some reason when it seems as though spring has really hit the beautiful Bear Paws, our thoughts go to that old Johnson log house on the two cliffs on Clear Creek.
Maybe it is because we spent some of our formative years there, or maybe it was the intrigue that the cliffs provided. Mother, for instance, never gave up fearing that somehow we were going to go tumbling over one of those cliffs to our death down below even though there was no way that could happen. Truth be told, we were much more afraid of those cliffs than she was.
Or maybe it was the large log house. Most of our other cabins on Clear Creek has been one or two room shacks. This was a huge living room, kitchen and bedroom on one floor and three large bedrooms upstairs. That was some fishing shack!
And then Bee Lucke and C.L. Stuart, probably seeing the same potential for the cabin that we had, really worked hard to fix it up into a nice place to spend some time.
If it wasn't for the terrible cliffs and rattlesnakes, it would have been perfect. But then if it had been perfect, we would have never been there so life is a trade off, of sorts, all the time.
The cliffs were awesome! Probably the cabin to this day sits more or less straight with the world. It faces the south and to its back, just out the back door about three steps, was one old cliff. The creek 40 or 50 feet below had changed course sometime or another and that cliff had become a tangle of briars and undergrowth. To the east of the cabin, oh, maybe 10 or 20 feet away was another cliff, that one some 60 feet high (or so it seemed) and with Clear Creek right at the bottom of that one.
We think that sometime or another when the house was built, it was probably built at the top of two rather steep hills and through the years with floods and the like, those steep hills had eroded into dangerous cliffs. We cannot imagine another reason for that house to be placed where it was.
Most dangerous of all, though, was the outhouse that literally hung out on a precipice between those two cliffs. To get down to it, a path wandered steeply down to the outhouse that seemed to be trembling on its own cliffs held there just by a thicket of willows, thorn apples, buck brush and one or two lone quaking aspen trees.
One other thing and then we will get to this installment of Bee Lucke and C.L. Stuart. For some reason, they did not believe in flashlights. In fact, this fateful night might have occurred before there was even electricity in that cabin, but if there was electricity, there were not flashlights to see how to get down the steep path to the outhouse after dark.
So on this particular night, there was C.L., Bee and four or five of their friends playing pinochle far into the night around a round table in the big kitchen of that cabin. We had long ago gone to bed and just heard the melody of quiet conversation along with the smell of beer and cigarette smoke to lull us to sleep. We never heard the rest of the story until we heard the woman screaming hysterically, but that is getting ahead of where we should be.
With the group was one man, a Havre fisherman, who the others never really cared for, and there was a couple of other Clear Creek fishing husbands and wives there, too, that night as we remember.
The first excitement occurred when this city-slicker type that no one gave a hoot about, asked to leave the table to step out the back door and go to the bathroom. Surely, he must have heard the snickers and realized something was up, but he did not. So out the door he went into the dark night and right over the cliff to the north. Interesting to note that even though he didn't come back for an hour, no one even worried about what had happened to him. They just continued playing cards, drinking Budweiser from those new fangled cans, smoking Kools or Camels, and telling each other stories they had all heard a million times before.
An hour later, in the front door came that poor fellow who had fallen all the way to the bottom of that north cliff. He was covered with brush, bruises and blood. No one asked him what happened. He did not offer an opinion. Just said goodbye, got into his car, and headed off for Havre.
A little later, one of the ladies of the group realized she had to go to the bathroom as well. No way was she going out the back door and close to the cliff or even going anywhere close to the outhouse in that dark night. So she went out the front door and tended to her business just about ten feet from the front door. She just got into her bathroom- going mode when all of a sudden she heard a loud buzzzzzzzzzzz right underneath her. She knew it was a rattlesnake immediately, screamed hysterically, and came running back into the house, her clothing still in a state of disrepair. That woke us up and sent most of the party to bed or home quickly.
Next morning she asked Bee what had happened to the fellow that wasn't there anymore. He looked our way, smiled and said, "Just another Saturday night on Clear Creek, Robby."

RockNess logo
THE unusually warm temperatures for this time of year that we have recently experienced have prompted many of us to start planning our summer activities and music festivals will figure prominently on a lot of people's to-do lists.
Scots are renowned for our humour, and as we say – we know it's summer here when the rain gets warmer.
However the wet weather doesn't tend to stop us enjoying ourselves and come rain or shine, in a few months time tens of thousands of us will head to festivals up and down the country and brave the elements under canvas – or nylon, as most tents are made of these days.
The banks of Loch Ness will once again resonate to the sounds of a host of acts as RockNess takes place over the weekend of Friday, June 8 to Sunday, June 10.
This year's festival will feature the likes of Biffy Clyro, Mumford & Sons, The View, Ed Sheeran, Justice and Deadmau5.
The festival has been building an excellent reputation since its inception in 2006 and recently scooped the NME's "Best Small Festival Award" for the second year running.
It's the latest major accolade for RockNess having also previously won the headline "Line up of the Year" at the prestigious UK Festival Awards.
Festival Director Jim King commented: "For those who have been to the festival before thank you so much for your support and please now spread the word.
"There's something going on in the Highlands and we want you to come to our party; let's wake the monster."
Three-day weekend camping tickets cost £159, more information can be found at www.rockness.co.uk

Azerbaijan on Monday hit out at critics ranging from Iran to Western rights groups as it tried to combat pressure over alleged abuses ahead of hosting the prestigious Eurovision song contest.
Senior presidential administration official Ali Hasanov said that human rights campaigners were spreading lies about the ex-Soviet state and Western media were conducting an "anti-Azerbaijani" campaign.
He accused Islamic neighbor Iran of spreading fake rumors that a gay pride march would be held in Azerbaijan's capital Baku during Eurovision week.
"They are making statements about something that does not exist. We are holding Eurovision, not a gay parade," Hasanov told a news conference.
"Actually there is no word in the Azerbaijani language for a gay parade, unlike in their language," he added.
He accused Iran of being "jealous" of Azerbaijan's economic success and worried about its secular government.
Unfounded rumors circulated on Iranian websites this month suggesting that a gay pride march would take place in mainly Muslim but officially secular Azerbaijan during Eurovision.
In a wide-ranging attack on his country's detractors, Hasanov went on to accuse some European media and international campaign groups of actively seeking to tarnish Azerbaijan's image ahead of Eurovision.
"Groundless statements by two organizations, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, cause particular regret," he said.
"I want to say that if these organizations continue (acting) in the same way, they will risk losing the Azerbaijani people's trust, because the Azerbaijani people see that the statements of these two organizations have nothing in common with the actual situation in the country," he added.
Western media have given significant coverage in recent days to claims by campaigners that the government of strongman President Ilham Aliyev systematically violates human rights, jailing opponents, persecuting journalists and suppressing free speech.
Hasanov specifically singled out media in Germany, where alleged abuses have been widely reported, for what he called their "negative, anti-Azerbaijani information policy".
The Azerbaijani authorities want to use the pop contest watched by an estimated 125 million people worldwide to enhance the image of the energy-rich state.
In a separate development Monday, opposition leaders accused police of detaining around 40 people at unlicensed protests staged by the Public Chamber alliance in Baku on the eve of Eurovision's first semi-final show.
"There were small protests in various parts of the city, 100 people attended and 40 were detained," said Isa Gambar, leader of the Musavat party which is part of the Public Chamber, claiming that some detainees had also been beaten.
Hasanov's sideswipe at neighbour Iran came amid increasingly tense relations with the Islamic Republic after a series of arrests of alleged attack plotters with links to Tehran in recent months.
Iran is also unhappy about Azerbaijan's friendly links with Israel and its reported purchase of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of weapons from the Jewish state.
There will be two semi-finals on May 22 and 24, with ten from each going on to the final on May 26 alongside Azerbaijan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Britain.

Lack of funding for public transit called a threat to future prosperity.

Prices for the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V wagon will begin at $62,990, including destination charges.
Available with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, the CTS-V is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 delivering 556 hp and 551 lb-ft of torque.
Commercial drivers banned from texting while driving.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has recently made big waves about the dangers of distracted driving. The government agency released data saying that 5,500 people died and around 500,000 were injured in 2009 in accidents in which distracted driving was a factor. Likewise, research has surfaced saying that teens still don't think texting while driving is as dangerous as drunk driving, even though both have been shown to be just as detrimental to a driver's ability to operate a car or truck.
Toyota examined 4,200 vehicles after electronic device was implicated.
During the peak of the unintended-acceleration hysteria, many media outlets speculated that the electronic throttle control might be to blame.
CNBC's Phil LeBeau on why Lincoln can succeed.
Of course, skeptics -- actually, everyone -- will point out that Lincoln has quite an uphill battle ahead of it. Success is hardly a sure thing in the crowded luxury market, but over at CNBC, Phil Lebeau has three reasons why Lincoln may be able to pull it off.
First, LeBeau points out that Ford's commitment is long-term. Lincoln is elemental to the overall Ford company, and the manufacturer will treat it accordingly.

Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. CEO Craig Jackson has the distinction of being the highest bidder at his firm's recent sale in Las Vegas--paying $770,000, including the buyer's premium, for a 2008 Bugatti Veyron when the original winning bidder refused to pay.
Overall, the three-day auction, held Sept. 23-25, recorded sales of nearly $23 million, Barrett-Jackson said on Monday.
After the Bugatti Veyron, the highest bid at the auction was $412,500 for a 2009 Mercedes McLaren SLR roadster.
The rest of the top 10 sellers were:
Chevy challenges Ford to real-world towing competition.
Of course, on paper Ford already wins: Its 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel V8 engine puts out 400 horsepower and a whopping 800 lb-ft of torque, compared with GM's 6.6-liter Duramax with 397 horsepower and 35 fewer lb-ft, at 765. Then again, Chevrolet's point is that numbers on paper don't necessarily translate to the best performance on the road -- hence the real-world challenge. Or, as Chevy Silverado marketing manager Tony Truelove says, "Let's go work these trucks in the mountains, and may the best truck win."

It seems just about every carmaker at the Paris motor show had an electric car on the stand, and some had nothing but electric cars. The show floor was buzzing with them.
Big manufacturers showed models with production possibilities while whacky little companies you've never heard of promised to revolutionize transportation with EVs as eclectic and diverse as human imagination.
The one that got the de facto Best EV of Show was the Renault DeZir. With scissor doors and a low, swoopy shape, as Renault said, "DeZir stands out as an illustration of the brand's commitment to more emotional styling."
That might be an understatement.

ABBEVILLE – Haylie Mouton is like any other seventh-grader at Forked Island/E.Broussard Elementary with the exception of her height.
She stands two-feet, eight inches tall, which makes her a dwarf.
Throughout the school year, she got tired of being called "little Hailey" by her friends at the school.
She knows she is small and does not have to be reminded of it daily.
"If someone would walk by and say, 'hello, little Haylie.' I would not tell them anything. I would ignore them."
One day at school, she wrote in her daily journal that she does not like to be teased about being small. Her teacher read it and wanted to stop the teasing.
So, what Mouton did was go to every classroom at FIEB and speak her mind. She told the students, while she is small, she is also a normal 13-year-old.
The school's Junior Beta Club came up with an idea to make everyone aware of little people.
The first-ever womanless pageant to help raise money for the Little People's of America (LPA) was a big hit at Forked Island/E. Broussard Elementary.
The pageant was held by the school's Jr. Beta Club to raise money for LPA.
When the night was over, a total of $1,572.55 was raised.
The school held the fund-raiser because of Seventh Grader Haylie Mouton who is a little person.
Mouton also increased awareness about people with short stature and their families by giving a wonderful speech and making posters.
LPA was informally started in 1957 when Billy Barty called upon people of short stature to join him in a get-together in Reno, Nevada. That original meeting of 21 people grew into Little People of America, a group which as of 2010 has more than 6,800 members.
Since the pageant and speaking to her classmates, Mouton does not get teased anymore.

Pronounced pine and smoked flavor. Cooling and astringent. A perception of ashes in the back of the throat.
This was brewed very strong, using the whole sample packet and boiling water for over 5 minutes.
I actually thought this had yerba mate in it! It smells very mate-ish to me. And at first, it tastes almost off-puttingly herbal—just agressively green and earthy (in a "sawdust-floor, hippie, co-op grocery" kind of way). But then on cooldown, the flavor mellows out to mostly mint and citrus. This is very spearmint-y.
Get this if you like spearmint.
First sips: Lightly peach. Refreshing. Slightly sweet—in a "clear" crystalline way. Like a peach sorbet.
I've kept this steeped forever and used boiling water but it hasn't gotten bitter or astringent at all. So upon cooldown, the flavor just seems to get more syrupy and more candied—like Peach Jolly Ranchers.
I like it! :)
Tastes surprisingly milky! Smells deliciously like caramel and yams. I'm kind of surprised overall by this—I thought it would have been too "cloying" and artifical but it's not at all. It's a wonderful sweet potato flavor and very enjoyable. I love the milkiness!
Finally opened my sample packet and used up all the tea.
Tastes like a coconut cassava casserole. Sweet,"thick" and yummy—with a "baked yam" note.
No astringency detected in the black tea base. Just a slight "coffee-esque" bitterness edged with cream.
Pretty good. RIP SpecialTeas!
Thoroughly enjoying my second mug of this excellent brew. :)
I have to admit that this tea has grown on me. I thought it was okay at first but now I really like it. Maybe because it's had the chance to "age" a bit? It's just so soothing with its soft biscuity-ness.
The perfect thing after overindulging in pizza for dinner.
A nice smoky, herbally green.
This really tastes and looks so much like a ginseng oolong! Really rolled up and pebbly—there's even that herbal ginseng kind of "bite" to it. I love the smokiness in this—very mellow, not astringent at all. Kind of "dusky" and smooth with a hint of mint and sweetness.
thepuriTea's description of this spot on. I think it's very good!
Sweet, creamy and mint-alicious!! :) Tempered with a slightly bitter, almost tangy, green tea taste—overlaid with a toasty black tea. Refreshing yet cozy and warm. I love the vanilla in this—almost like creme brulee. Super yummy.
I think this tea is growing on me—instead of searching for "cake", I'm beginning to like this for what I can taste in it—mainly buttered asapargus and Wheat Thins. There is also a flavor of broth and minerals.
I'm not detecting any bitterness or tannins at all. Super smooth—which makes it perfect to just toss into my travel mug and resteep all day. I'm feeling somehow calmer and more centered just by drinking this.
Just a quick impression—
I've steeped this with more tea then last time (plus a lower temp and longer steep time)—using about 5 good-sized nuggets (nearly the size of the those little dried, salted plums) to 12.85 ounces.
I'm now getting an abundance of buttery asparagus and hints of wheat thins—but still no cake.
Yay! I got this today and instantly tore into it!
I have to say it's super smooth and the flavor seems very soft and slate-y. But I'm not getting much of anything else, sadly. No cinnamon, no sweetness, no vanilla, no angel food cake…
Just smooth, soft, slightly rooty puerh-ness.
But wait!…..if I breathe deeply and exhale with each sip—I can taste something like buckwheat…something like malt-o-meal..something like those whole wheat tea biscuits in those cylindrical packages ("Digestive Biscuits"?). Then, finally some rich buttery notes, upon cooldown.
Wow. Some teas assert themselves right away. This one doesn't. Patience is key!
Minty, savory green tea. I've steeped this pretty potently so the "brothy" notes are shining through. Not bitter at all and very refreshing. After a very late, fun night, I'm finding this very soothing to the tummy this morning!
This would definitely be delicious with sugar or honey!
Tastes very woodsy-sweet—like sandalwood and maple syrup. Has a bit of "chewiness" and a hint of breadiness. The smokiness is more apparent on cooldown.
I'm really enjoying this cup—I think this is (was) a very good tea. It is very yummy. Makes a great breakfast tea—very substantial and invigorating. I love the mapley, caramelly, woodsy sweetness.
In short, Keemuns are great! :)
(and R.I.P. SpecialTeas!!!)
An interesting flavor—I like it!
Citrusy, sweet, spicy, tangy and toasty all at once. Reminds me of Thai food—with all its melange of flavors.
Roasted cardamom and pineapple upon cooldown.
Really yummy…and strangely comforting and refreshing at the same time.
Tastes like lightly roasted white flowers with bits of peach. Soft jasmine-like aroma.
There's a slight nuttiness and tartness in the aftertaste—like chestnuts and cherries. Interesting!
Honey-like sweetness, mild and smooth. Faint notes of honeysuckle and toast.
A pleasure to drink!
I miss you The Simple Leaf!
I'm struck by the pure taste of gardenias and jasmine in this—yet it's not "flavored". It just tastes so…pretty!!
Creamy white flowers. Slightly toasty, steamy "green-ness". HInts of peach and banana.
Like the tropics in a glass.
What a beautiful tea! :)
First sip…tastes like edamame! A bit briney and a bit sweet.
Next sips.. settles into smooth, slightly smoky, woodsy cocoa with hints of soy sauce.
Super mild—very easy to drink. Not tannic at all.
Another very subtle, easygoing tea. It's nice, may be best for an afternoon or early evening tea. But for mornings, it looks like I need something with more "kick".
Smells like rich dark chocolate.
Taste is very mild and smooth with a faint chocolatey essence and just a hint of that distinctive puerh earthiness.
This is good but just super super subtle. I would have a preferred a more aggressive flavor. Next time I'll use more leaf (I used about a teaspoon for 12.85 oz).
This would be a nice "starter" pu-erh for the uninitiated! :)
First off, I think this smells delicious. All at once sweet, sour and biscuity.
I gave this a quick "rinse" before the actual steeping (as the directions recommended) but I think it may have rinsed away most of the actual flavor potency?
Now there's just a hint of something like yummy vinegary biscuits—which I know may sound weird but I love vinegar! I love balsamic vinegar over strawberries. I love fish and chips doused with malt vinegar. And I love Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips!
Wouldn't that be neat if there was a Salt & Vinegar Chip-flavored tea?
Anyways, this a mild black tea with a subtle "sweet and sour" flavor. Slightly malty. A bit drying on the lips.
Super earthy and "rooty"—like fresh from the ground roots! I feel like I can taste the topsoil in this! Rich, loamy, fertile topsoil.
Woodsy, earthy, bitter (in a good way), herbaceous-tasting tea.
I think this is a pretty good pu-erh blend—if pu-erh is what you're craving, this will do in a pinch!
Good, "standard" genmaicha taste. Satisfyingly toasty. There's a hint of salt (like soy sauce) in the taste. Not bitter even when steeped (and re-steeped) several times. I emptied out two tea bags in my 12.85 travel tea mug. Surprisingly flavorful, for a tea bag!
A surprisingly mild and mellow tea (somehow I was expecting something more "vigorous"?). Very soothing, though.
The flavor is a bit fruity (like grapes). Woodsy with a hint of dampened earth and sea salt.
I can smell a maltiness—but I can't taste it, for some reason.
This particular tasting is okay—I'm soothed but not very wow'ed. It's just too mild—meek even. Not much "heft" or body. Thin.
Next time I will use more leaf. I used 1 teaspoon to 12.85 ounces.
I've had my sample packet for close to a year and a half now…so I guess it's sort of "aged" in a way. I love the description for this—"sweet and biscuity"!!
The scent reminds me of sandalwood. Sweet, woodsy and bit resinous. The taste is very smooth almost "sugary". A bit biscuity too. A hint of smoke adds depth.
Very delicious.
R.I.P. SpecialTeas! Thanks for offering such a superb Keemun! Now I know that I should keep an eye out for Hao-Ya A's. It is very good stuff. :)

Apple billed 3D Flyover as one of the headlining features of its Maps app, when it replaced Google Maps in iOS last fall with its own in-house software. Unfortunately, at the time, the feature was only available for a handful of cities.
But the Maps team has been awfully busy in recent months, adding Flyover support to a number of new areas. Earlier this month, it expanded Flyover coverage in Paris, France, and this week it's bolstered support in greater California… Read More

The News Herald (news-herald.com), Serving Northern Ohio
Monday, December 3, 2012
By Bob Finnan
Cavaliers power forward Tristan Thompson's last two games are a microcosm of his two-year career.
The 6-foot-9, 227-pound Thompson matched his career high with 15 rebounds against Atlanta on Friday. He followed with two rebounds in a 118-117 double-overtime loss to Portland on Saturday.
Coach Byron Scott never knows what he's getting out of Thompson. Like many young players, consistency isn't not one of Thompson's staples. His numbers aren't terrible. His shot can be, however.
Thompson has put up some of the ugliest shots of the season as of late — awkward, mechanical-looking attempts. His footwork is off. To say he's a work in progress is an understatement.
Unless he has a wide-open dunk or a tip-in, he struggles to make baskets.
Thompson is averaging 8.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 17 games. He's shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from the foul line.
The Cavs (4-13) have asked former center Zydrunas Ilgauskas to work with Thompson. Ilgauskas is a special assistant to Cavs general manager Chris Grant. He works with players such as Thompson and center Tyler Zeller. He also does some scouting.
"We've been doing it consistently before practice," Thompson said of Ilgauskas' role in his development. "I've been working with (Cavs assistant coach) Jamahl Mosley, too. I've been coming in real early, getting my school work in."
Thompson has been getting an inordinate number of shots blocked in the paint. He said the focus of the workouts with Ilgauskas is to finish around the rim.
"It's always good going against a 7-footer who is mobile and still able to play defense," he said. "I appreciate him a lot for taking the time to work with me."
The Cavs claimed Thompson was their hardest worker in offseason workouts as the forward tried to develop a mid-range jumper. The left-hander just can't seem to convert a jump shot 10 feet from the basket. Maybe he never will.
"He's having trouble finishing shots in the lane," Scott said. "That's an area of concern. Big Z has done a great job the last few days working with him down there, trying to help him figure out a way to get it up quicker and be a little more effective.
"I think he's getting frustrated because he's not scoring in the paint like he thinks he should. But again, as much as he's worked on all the stuff on the offensive end we've talked about this summer, that's not the reason we drafted him.
"We drafted him because of his energy and how hard he plays. I think sometimes he's losing focus in that area because he's focusing on trying to score. He has to do all the little things. He'll still be effective for us if he just runs the floor, rebounds and defends. Everything else will take care of itself."
Thompson's biggest problem is when he gets the ball, he crouches down to gather himself and then tries to go up for his shot. By then, defenders are able to block many of his attempts around the basket. Scott said instead of putting up a low-percentage shot, Thompson should kick it out of the post and set up the play again.
"He had some of that last year where he had trouble finishing at times," Scott said. "But this year it has been magnified.
"All you're doing is getting it blocked, and it's like a running drill for the other team. When he gets that offensive rebound, if he can't go right back up, lay it in or dunk it, just bring it out. That extra possession is more valuable to us right now than anything."
Ilgauskas has been trying to get Thompson to put up a shot quicker and to work on some offensive moves. He also needs to develop a jump hook.
Thompson has a wing span of about 7-4. But at 6-9, he's undersized in the post.
"He's going up against somebody who is 6-11 or 7-foot, so he's at a disadvantage," Scott said. "He can use what he has, which is athleticism and quickness, and get him to go back up right away, and then he can be more effective. Z has shown him some things I think can be really good for him.
"It's just a matter of him implementing it to be a little more effective. I think he has that in him. It's just a matter of continuing to do it."
Wearing a protective mask probably hasn't helped. Thompson suffered a nasal fracture against Philadelphia on Nov. 18. Zeller is also wearing a mask after fracturing his cheekbone on Nov. 5 against the Clippers.
Quick shots
-- Cavs guard Dion Waiters had an MRI on Sunday at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health which confirmed he had a left ankle sprain. He's listed as questionable for the Detroit game on Monday and did make the trip to Auburn Hills. Waiters had X-rays taken at the arena on Saturday after he was injured with 1:49 remaining in the second overtime.
-- The Cavs dished out a season-high 32 assists vs. Portland on Saturday. Point guard Jeremy Pargo had a career-high eight assists.
-- Guard Daniel Gibson had two 3-pointers against the Trail Blazers and is now tied with Wesley Person (550) for third place on the Cavs' all-time list. LeBron James and Mark Price are ahead of him in the Cavs' annals.
-- Center Anderson Varejao is the first Cavs player to have eight consecutive games of 15 or more rebounds and at least five offensive rebounds. The only other NBA player to ever do that was Houston Rockets center Moses Malone, who had 12 consecutive games of 15 or more rebounds and at least five offensive rebounds during the 1978-79 season.

Aesop is said to be a Greek slave that lived in the 6th Century BC. His life is a mystery and historians cannot agree on a factual account of his life. However, most history books believe that Aesop was a slave born around 620 BC. He was given his freedom due to his intelligence and storytelling ability. Aesop became popular for his stories that involved animals who showed human qualities.

Meet Marc
Marc Dalton was first elected as MLA to represent the riding of Maple Ridge-Mission in 2009. He has worked very hard for his constituents and has been a strong advocate for them.
Marc was born in Germany while his father served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Marc has lived in bases across the country. Marc also served in the Canadian Armed Forces as a Reservist and he is a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Maple Ridge.
Prior to being elected, Marc was a long-time teacher in School District 42 (Maple Ridge – Mission). He taught at both the elementary and high school levels. He has a Bachelor's Degree in History and French and a Masters' Degree in Educational Leadership, both from S.F.U. Marc's desire in entering politics is the same as for becoming a teacher: a desire to serve people to the best of his capacity and make a positive contribution in society.
Marc is British Columbia's first Parliamentary Secretary for Independent Schools. He has visited dozens of independent schools across the province and makes recommendations to the Minister of Education and Premier. He believes in both a strong public school system and a vibrant independent school system. He believes in choice of education and both systems serve British Columbian students and families very well.
Marc is Metis and speaks French and basic Spanish. His background is important to him and is a member of Golden Ears Metis Society. He has represented the province at various Francophone events including Ministerial Conference on the Canadian Francophonie in Edmonton.
Marc has served on a number of legislative and government committees including Finance, Children and Youth, Families, Freedom of Information and Privacy. Committee work and his role as a Parliamentary Secretary have taken him across the province and in contact with people. He has been impressed with the infrastructure improvements everywhere, including roads, hospitals, schools, bridges. He is also keenly aware of requests from organizations and people to do more and provide more. He feels it can only happen with sound fiscal management and growing the economy, something that the BC Liberals have been quite good at.
Since being elected, Marc has been on the political steering committee of Experience The Fraser, a visionary trails and tourism project for both sides of the Fraser from the 'Canyon to the Coast'. He has been encouraged seeing the significant development and coordination of trails in the region since ETF began.
He has been an advocate for many local non-profits and has helped establish or continue funding for organizations like North Fraser Therapeutic Riding Association, Youth Diversion, Ridge-Meadows Recycling. He has also worked diligently on issues of safety, infrastructure improvements and economic development. He was a strong voice for retaining the emergency room at Mission Memorial Hospital and for expanding the hospital. In July, this will be a reality with the opening of two multi-million dollar health care facilities on site.
Marc lives in Maple Ridge and has been married to his wife Marlene for 28 years. They have three grown children, Justin, Simone and Hannah.

Alexandre Dumas: The Count of Monte CristoChapter 108: The Judge. (continued)"What I do not wish, madame, is that you should perish on the scaffold. Do you understand?" asked Villefort. "Oh, mercy, mercy, monsieur!" "What I require is, that justice be done. I am on the earth to punish, madame," he added, with a flaming glance; "any other woman, were it the queen herself, I would send to the executioner; but to you I shall be merciful. To you I will say, `Have you not, madame, put aside some of the surest, deadliest, most speedy poison?'" "Oh, pardon me, sir; let me live!" "She is cowardly," said Villefort. "Reflect that I am your wife!" "You are a poisoner." "In the name of heaven!" "No!" "In the name of the love you once bore me!" "No, no!" "In the name of our child! Ah, for the sake of our child, let me live!" "No, no, no, I tell you; one day, if I allow you to live, you will perhaps kill him, as you have the others!" "I? -- I kill my boy?" cried the distracted mother, rushing toward Villefort; "I kill my son? Ha, ha, ha!" and a frightful, demoniac laugh finished the sentence, which was lost in a hoarse rattle. Madame de Villefort fell at her husband's feet. He approached her. "Think of it, madame," he said; "if, on my return, justice his not been satisfied, I will denounce you with my own mouth, and arrest you with my own hands!" She listened, panting, overwhelmed, crushed; her eye alone lived, and glared horribly. "Do you understand me?" he said. "I am going down there to pronounce the sentence of death against a murderer. If I find you alive on my return, you shall sleep to-night in the conciergerie." Madame de Villefort sighed; her nerves gave way, and she sunk on the carpet. The king's attorney seemed to experience a sensation of pity; he looked upon her less severely, and, bowing to her, said slowly, "Farewell, madame, farewell!" That farewell struck Madame de Villefort like the executioner's knife. She fainted. The procureur went out, after having double-locked the door. This is page 1285 of 1374.

This comic seems about right: http://voices.yahoo.com/blame-execs-not-unions-hostess-closing-11882098.html
Good job Mr. Alcaraz. -
Trolls coming, wait for it, wait for it!
That bites…
I thought the hedge funds lost money on this one.
"Sugar, sugar…"
Even if the hedge FUNDS lost money, you can bet that the hedge fund MANAGERS made their fee. That happens first, before any other expenses kick in. And the taxpayers come in to bail out the raided pension fund.
Blame the guy who does the actual work.
Don't forget the changing eating habits of Americans and theinability of managemen to adapt to the changes.
twinkees have no sugar in them. high fructose corn syrup, cellulose (wood chips) and perfume.
unfit for human consumption in most countries of the world, but they have a great shelf life.
"Hostess" has been trying to blame the unions for a long time, and these products are made on one of the most automated production lines in the world! They just like the Bain management model.
It's time for O to step in, fire the CEO, give the company to the unions and bill the taxpayer for it.
That's my prediction. Others may have differing opinions. I give them that right to hold their own beliefs as long as I can have mine. -
Hilarious and true. Eat it, lying cons.
dannjysixpack: Fructose is sugar. The -tose suffix means a kind of sugar.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion…. but your suggestion is so out of touch with reality its very humorous….
After declaring bankruptcy in 2009 for 415 million, the executives at Hostess increased their salaries by 35 – 80%. Current executive pay is over 1 million dollars for senior executives. The judge was initially going to permit the company to go into bankruptcy until executives requested funds to pay bonuses to executives in order to "help with closing down the company." That inane request apparently caused the judge to reconsider and send the parties involved to mediation. The union that caused the "final decision" by executives was the bakers union. The treamster union had already settled with managment.
That said, Hostess makes very unhealthy and sadly, boring, products. As a child, I loved hostess cupcakes, but as I type this, I cannot recall the last time I had a hostess product. Did have a moon pie two months ago.
I don't mind the idea of hostess closing, but seeing it close while executives enrich themselves after looting the pension funds is obscene. And realizing that snack foods are evolving into healthier and tastier products while this company does nothing to evolve and improve for the betterment of owners, stockholders and staff is baffling.
I am glad so many "white knights" are showing interest in this company, i think it has potential it has yet to realize. Now if only the people who have counted on this company will make the sacrifices and efforts needed to make it viable.
