One of Them
Too loyal to the good ole days when each Tweet was followed by "via web" as opposed to "via some kind of new-fangled Steve Jobs application," I never planned to posses any of these modern gadgets. Until my sister got a laptop, which came with a free iPod Touch, which went to me. I was immediately converted, and felt pride in the way I could slide the "unlock" button with such ease; the way my "To Do" lists suddenly looked so much more efficient. The pseudo-notebook paper on a screen gave them validity, while real life notebook paper was for people who were amateurs at, well, life. Suddenly, I didn't just have to buy deodorant. I had to buy deodorant.
These few days were bliss. But a dark cloud settled over my happiness as the Times article went on about the new Touch models. How they were so thin and sleek and could open envelopes. They had built-in microphones, and a million cameras, and, hell, you could probably make an Oscar award-winning movie with the new Touch. It had super powers, which made it possible for you to stalk anyone, ever.
And here I was, with the old one. I opened up my To Do list. I would have to find Joseph Gordon-Levitt's house on my own.
This didn't translate to my dad. "Aren't you pleased with my shopping skills?" he asked, giddy. "We have the new model!"
I didn't want to break it to him, but it was for his own good. "Dad, we don't have the new model. It won't be available for a while. We have the old one."
His face fell before he began scrambling to find other possible explanations, pointing desperately at the upper left corner of our ancient Touch. "That? Isn't that a camera? You're sure?" he begged, as though asking once more would magically transform the device.
But he knew the answer. We both did. That was no camera; that was a useless, tiny black panel. Black, and filled with despair.
Suddenly, my iPod Touch was nothing to be proud of. It was not sleek, nor shiny, and could open no envelopes. Oh, God, I thought in a panic, what'll I do about all those envelopes? It was a brick; as fat and useless as a Five-Dollar Foot Long. Even the boingy little noises it produced were as irritating as that Subway commercial. I pictured it under my bed, where it belonged and would soon be hidden, next to the first generation iPod Shuffle.
"Oh, that? You can have it if you want," a friend of mine said back in fifth grade.
"Really?" I barely breathed.
"Yeah, it's cool. Everyone in my family already owns an iPod. And I won it at some Bar Mitzvah."
I fell in love with my new iPod Shuffle. Sure, it had no screen. And sure, it held approximately four songs. But that didn't matter. It was an iPod. It was an iPod and it hung on a little iPod lanyard around my neck. I was one of them.
But as I would soon learn, a Shuffle could gain me no credibility. "It doesn't even have a screen," my friends would say, ticking away at their Nanos, trying to decide between Cheetah Girls and High School Musical. Indeed, I was definitely not one of them.
And the Touch situation was just the same. Distressed and unable to handle any more suffering, I began curling back into fetal position to sleep when I spotted a red hard candy on the floor in front of me. Hours earlier, I got it out of my backpack, dropped it, and just could not find it again. I had probably spent half of the eight-hour flight searching. And now, here it was, lodged in between the wall and the foot of the person in front of me.
Know what probably could've found it earlier?
The new iPod Touch.
My dad and I got off the plane soon thereafter. We got our luggage. We dragged our feet. We told the guy at customs we had a good time, but what did we know? We were no new iPod Touches.
"What's that smell?" I asked my dad as we sat in silence on the EL train coming home. Then I remembered. I glanced at my To Do list. I no longer had to buy deodorant. I just...had to buy deodorant.

lulz Oh such a tragic read. It happens to the best of us: we're proud of what we got and then, poof, the love is gone with a new feeling of wanting to go buy the newest model. *tear*
I nearly bought the first generation shuffle last month. Just because it's lean and long and if I sit on it, my ass wont break it. - September 09, 2010 6:47 PM

This was an entertaining read.
For a minute, I though "NO PICTURES?"
I bought my iPod 3rd generation nano second hand, when the 4th generation was all the rage. But that's ok. Because I like the older versions better. Japan makes cute cases for the 3rd generation.
They're outdated, so you can just call them 'vintage.' Haha that makes it cool in my book. - September 09, 2010 6:52 PM

haha i love this. though I tend to find myself somewhat immune to the whole newest model thing, which I guess is good. My first gen. ipod touch suits me fine, and I'm sure I'd still be using my chunky, black-and-white ipod mini if I hadn't left it on a plane. sigh.

I've become one of Those People, as well, and whenever Apple makes a mistake, people gleefully point it out to me. "The DROID is now the #1 smartphone in America, Leah! How DOES IT FEEL?!?" "Uh, okay?"
I used to care more, but lately have been using an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach. I attained my current iPhone (the first generation) when the phone I'd been using flew out of my pocket and floated in an anti-gravity manner into space at the peak of a roller coaster bump. People have been getting fresh Droids and iPhones with 3G and iPhone 4s and such and encouraging me to do so, but I just know the instant I replace my old friend with a new one, I'll have really become one of Those People, and I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready for that kind of commitment. - September 09, 2010 6:59 PM

This was a really good read. You're writing styles are very good! I love this story so much! This reminds me of when everyone had the Heely's sneakers, the ones where you can walk and roll, I was pretty much the only one without them. Then a few months later I finally got pink Heely's (when I think about now, gross) and I was so happy! I started rolling and stuff. Then pretty soon people weren't wearing them anymore, people moved onto Converse! When I think about it now, it's so silly to get something just because other people have it or be disappointed because people get tired of it.

Urg, I totally know what you mean. I bet someone or another in my class has it reserved for when it comes out to match their shiny new iPads... I mean, who needs both??? I've got the 3rd generation iTouch, and I was somewhere in the middle of the group of people who got it (I've had it for a little over a year and a half) and I was absolutely happy with it until I found out that the new will have a camera. That ruined everything.
Thanks for the wonderful post, Tavi. It's nice reading a blog I can relate to. - September 09, 2010 7:21 PM

I still don't have a some MAc toy. Not even an Ipod, because of this. I'm afraid. I'm afraid to ve posessed by this thing. But still, I die for a Ipod, but it's expensive for me, her in my country they are super expensive.

And I'm sorry about your lack of New Touch, and your human susceptibility to Apple's ever-renewing ad campaigns. It's terrible when they get enough money to do that to us, isn't it? - September 09, 2010 7:35 PM

i saw you on a fashion chanel, and at first i thought that you was a boy U.U... it was a little disturbing :S:S, then monts later, i start to search the blog of this kid... then i found your blog... and i realized that you are a girl! then i start to read your blog, and i love it :)
its dificult for me to love fashion people... but in your case, i think that you put your special touch in each style, and its not just a copy thing :)
i would like to be your friend :)if you wanted ^^ of course.
oh! and i now that every body wants an apple gadget...:)

I know what you mean. I begged my parents to buy me an i-Pod (ANY i-Pod), and finally when I was ten I got the i-Pod classic. I was happy, no ecstatic, never mind that I couldn't work it...it was an i-Pod. So, I thought I was such a kewl kat with my i-Pod and it's pink Liz Claiborne case until a particularly snide classmate of mine walked up to me and said (with much sarcasm and thinking that she was clearly my superior) "An i-Pod classic? Those are SO old. I have the nano." And walked away leaving me feeling like an UNkewl kat and realizing that even if my classic was OLD, it could still hold more songs and was wayyy cooler in it's Liz Claiborne case then hers in it's metallic silver one. Besides, while hers (secretly) held Justin Bieber and Cheetah Girls..mine held Hole and Bikini Kill (at least, once I found out how to work it)...and THAT is much kewler than being a living-in-a-dreamland kewl kat. A culturally relevant and intelligent kewl kat is kewler than a non-intelligent technologically-superior kewl kat. In fact, that takes the kewl out of the kat. And there IS no kewl in kat anyway.

I don't have an iPod or a cellphone, or even a laptop. My CD player in my room and the old family computer suit me just fine.
I can imagine the feeling though. I guess I've always been odd though, I've never cared if stuff is new or the latest model, probably got it from my mom as she's the same way.
Even though I can't relate, I think you're a fantastic writer, and I enjoy your blog greatly. :) - September 09, 2010 7:47 PM

I suppose it's best, then, to just stay away from "keeping up" with technology. I'm perfectly happy with my old phone, one without the internet (though it does have a keyboard - how fancy!). The downside to smart phones and smart-technology in general is that one is able to be constantly connected. Do we really want that? It reminds me of the people in Wall-E. Doesn't sound like such a good idea to me. But I understand the frustration of not having the newest gadget. I used to hate not being "up-to-date" with the new phones and such.

Apple have managed to instill the desire for the latest version in us all so badly.
If you think about it, it kind of runs parallel to the way fashion refreshes itself every six months. Unfortunately, dated ipod's can't really be mixed and matched or restyled. I used to own the credit card sized nano (4th gen) which in my eyes will always be the coolest and hold kudos.
Great post Tavi x - September 09, 2010 8:00 PM

This. Is. So. Great.
I'm one of the few people who didn't even have an mp3 player until about five months ago. Up to then I had still been using a walkman. Now I have a scratched up old shuffle. That has an audio book on it. 19 going on 71. - September 09, 2010 8:06 PM

i feel you! husband and i FINALLY became "mac people" about a year ago. a month after buying my mac book, i went in to get a awesome case from the mac store that would protect it from a hurricane, monsoon and of course, my dog. i was so excited to have to narrow down the color and make a decision that would put me and my mac on the it list. i was appalled to find out that NONE of the cases in the store fit my cool, sleek mac book because they came out with a new one. the guy told me i have to go on ebay or overstock.com. what the devil!!!!

I love the comentary. Apple just cranks out the new stuff so that people feel exactly like that. I have an old one but I lurvvv it :D. And NEVER EVER buy the first generation of anything apple, it always has tons of glitches. This was quite the tragic story, its like the story of life pretty much. For everything, like this move I saw, The. Joneses. That pretty much that in a whole life sense. I think I wrote too much. Love your blog, love you.

"That was no camera; that was a useless, tiny black panel. Black, and filled with despair."
You should pretend that it's a camera – it's too easy being able to instantly capture the moment, and then being able to print out several copies, or store it away where you can just bring it up whenever you want!
You guys can have all the fun of using pure brain power. Take all of the mental snapshots that you want. Sure it may take a while to remember these snapshots several years from now, but they didn't coin the phrase, "Memories that last" for nothing!!! :-) - September 09, 2010 8:57 PM

Oh man. In 1997, I managed to get a Casio "My Magic Diary" on sale. This amazing, pale purple device could send ACTUAL TEXT MESSAGES to someone with the same device - granted that they were in the same room haha. The really amazing thing about it though, was the built in universal remote control which I would use to harrass my teachers endlessly during class movie screenings. Volume up, volume down. Channel change. TV on, TV off. And they never worked it out!
It seemed like such cutting edge technology at the time and now it seems so sad. But I'm going to resurrect it anyway, just like I resurrected my Baby-G watch from the same year. I hear they're back, with the kids? Correct?

Aaaaaawwww, it's okay Tavi! I also have the "older" generation of the iTouch... Don't worry.. Even if you buy the newest one, later on there will be another one that will be newer than the one you would have... That's how Apple is. They are so fast at upgrading their products that there are always new ones coming out.

I can't believe you're THAT young! I refuse to believe it! When I was your age I couldn't even spell half of what you write! (In english though, mind you.) You sure you're not your dad?
Anyways, oh gosh- haha, I'm so amused by this. It's highly performed satire, and probably the most accurate I've read in a while.
Even made me choke a tiny tad on my coffee, earning me a set of very befuddled looks from my room-mates.

You are a great writer but I was suprised by the topic. Not that I'm not guilty of the same kind of superficial insanity but I assumed you wouldn't take that stance. Guess it shows you can be very smart, talented and completely absorbed by "the latest thing" simultaneously. Read many of your posts and you seem very multidimensional, which is real. I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but it is a compliment. I like posts that make me think and bloggers I can overanalyze, so thanks :)

darling - it's too bad you feel that way. it's silly because i just got a macbook pro and ipod, and yes, it feels like i am part of a club. the manager at the apple store even shook my hand upon my purchase and welcomed me to the family (verbatim). so yes, there is a status thing linked to i products. BUT being a recent university graduate, who has a degree in communication studies and worked exclusively on macs at school - fuck are they better products. the design is so respectful of the consumer, and they just work better. but i see where you come from.

This sounds so familiar. One moment you're cool, holding the newest apple device, bet before you can show everyone how cool you actually are, there's already some new (far better/cooler/faster) device.
But it's true: once you go mac, you never go back. Steve Jobs is brilliant!

You write so ridiculously well, bit freaky-deaky really. As for the iPod situation, hold onto it for long enough and it will become retro and worth money on 'weloveoldtechnology.net'. I mean, vintage clothes came out of nowhere right? So at some point carting around years-old iPods has got to become cool...
- September 10, 2010 2:24 PM
"New Model" addiction is worse in the adult world too, especially the developer forums where if its going to be a month old it probably needs to be returned for whatever just came out (you absolutely must stay within the 30 day return period.) Apple has a trick though, release one "new" a year.

Hey Tavi! You're so funny. The answer is to just get an iPhone, iPods are done. I feel a bit sorry for you though, the billions apple spent on marketing trying to convince you to upgrade really worked a treat on you! Get off that slippery slope, it leads to nowhere.

Haha. This is really funny.
I remember my first iPod, it was the Shuffle too, the one that dangles on your neck. I always felt so awesome with it.
Then I got the iPod Nano 3rd generation... and it has lasted me a few years. But now, it is just a situation full of despair. :|
My beloved iPod's memory has ended... but I worked out a deal with Mum and Dad, and I shall get the new iTouch for my birthday and Christmas combined... I'll have to wait a bit, and will not be able to listen to new music on my iPod for a while, but it's something.
** But, don't worry. I bet someone important is going to read this and think, "That Tavi is so funny, and she has good fashion sense. I will send her the new iTouch." ;)

"Too loyal to the good ole days when each Tweet was followed by "via web" as opposed to "via some kind of new-fangled Steve Jobs application,""
This is sad. How you described the 'good ole days' is just plain sad. But then again, you're 12, so I understand. My good ole days involved ancient, boxy computers and the only way you could save something externally was using a floppy disk.
But then again, my perception of the 'good ole days' when it comes to technology would probably make people of an older generation cry as well. - September 13, 2010 1:35 AM

Its amazing how sometimes we are only satisfied until someone has something better than us.
I see a deeper meaning behind this post that I think some aren't seeing. This is really great. Its like we have become so connected to technology and materialism that we are somewhat disconnected from the realities of life.
For example, noticing that you actually needed deodorant without a gadget telling you. This is great.
And to the person who said a kid couldn't start this...If it was made by parents, why would they choose to do something that was naturally not so believeable? I think Tavi is just super smart, or maybe even a prodigy! I applaud her for being original.

I'd never had thought i would get emotional about an iPod story hahaha. but same for me, of course I was feeling like the coolest kid ever when i got my fabulous new 3GS for my birthday back in march.But then of course, two months later the 4 hade to come and i was not seeing as great as it was 3 weeks before. but i've got another strategy: snobbing the iPhone 4. it went a little like:
random classmate:Oh have you seen the new amazing iPhone???
me: oh that's crap, i mean honestly, what is another camera good for? it's so narcissic to own one, and anyway, it's not as feminine as the 3GS, and oh, of course, who needs multitasking, no honestly, and it breaks easily, i heard.
so go for the snobbing, i mean in 2 years your iPod touch will be retro again, and that it'll be cool. that why i kept the mini (first and only generation , BW-screen)
love your blog young lady, keep going - September 13, 2010 3:40 PM

Medtronic was founded in 1949 and has grown to become a global leader in medical technology. Seeing what a difference medical technology could make in the lives of patients inspired our founder to develop the Medtronic Mission.
The third tenet of the mission is all about quality:
"To strive without reserve for the greatest possible reliability and quality in our products, to be the unsurpassed standard of comparison, and to be recognized as a company of dedication, honesty, integrity, and service."
Regardless of function, all CRM employees play a role in product quality. Whether designing new therapies, sourcing components, manufacturing products, hiring talented people, assigning financial resources to project teams, or serving in one of the hundreds of other roles, every employee has an influence on product quality.
Product performance information is received from many sources through various channels. Medtronic monitors information from many sources from Research and Development through Manufacturing and Field Performance Vigilance.
When a device is returned to Medtronic, laboratory technicians and engineers assess overall device function. Analysis of returned product is performed according to written procedures. These procedures determine the minimum analysis required. The analysis required varies depending on the type of device, age of the device, the associated information received with the device, actual experience with models of similar design, and other factors. Additional analysis is performed as necessary to investigate a performance concern from a customer, or to collect specific reliability data.
When a malfunction is identified, failure analysis is performed to provide the detailed information necessary to investigate possible causes and actions. Medtronic CRM maintains in-house expertise and performs its failure analysis using facilities it owns and supports. This capability permits detailed failure analysis.
Analysis results are compared to original manufacturing records and design intent. Clinical observations are added to laboratory findings to help determine root cause. Each event is then compared to other events. If a pattern is detected, actions are taken to identify a common root cause, assess patient risk and an appropriate course of action.
Medtronic instituted the industry's first product performance reports in 1983 by publishing data on our chronic lead studies. Pacemakers and other devices followed as our performance reporting has constantly evolved based on customer needs and feedback. One thing has been a constant. It is our sincere commitment to communicate clearly, offering timely and appropriate product performance data and reliability information. This has always been and will continue to be our goal.

Winters are great as it brings along the wonderful spice aromas into my baking. Cardamom, cloves, nutmeg and allspice are common spices often used in Christmas cookies and cakes throughout the cooler months. However Spring and Summer are the best, because with these seasons comes the burst of sweet, juicy, tangy, succulent and colorful plethora of fruit and berries.
It seems our weather just cannot decide. Should winter be banished once for all to allow the warm rays of Spring sun to engulf us or if it still requires the dull, wet and brrrr-cold days to keep us at home wrapped up in cozy blankets, sipping on warming teas or cocoa.
And because the weather cannot decide - I was unable to decide in which direction I wanted to take my cake for the latest edition of the Monthly Mingle Spring Cakes. I knew I wanted to showcase rhubarb in my cake creation because early Spring is always about rhubarb to me. As April begins to roll around I can hardly wait to get my hands on the first of the rhubarb. To me seeing rhubarb at the markets is the first sign that Spring has arrived.
Typically rhubarb is paired with strawberries but there are so many great and innovating ways to use this vegetable.
As I really need to use up my massive collection of spices, collected from all over the world with love and care, before we move I considered the various spices I could pair rhubarb with. I did not have to look far - my persimmon spice cake offered me the perfect basis for my experiment.
An aromatic blend of ground coriander, cloves, cinnamon, allspice and ginger gives this cake an incredible delicious flavor very reminiscent of Lebkuchen, maple syrup adds the perfect moistness and earthy sweetness and the rhubarb complements the cake with its puckery sourness.
Rhubarb Spiced Coffee Cake
Printable version of recipe here.
300g all-purpose flour
200 - 350g rhubarb, cut into approx. 1.5 com thick pieces (use amount according taste)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger powder
140g + extra butter, softened
100g Muscovado sugar
250g maple syrup
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of sodaMethod
- Pre-heat oven to 160-180 degrees C. Butter a 20 cm square springform pan and line with baking paper.
- Sift flour, baking powder and spices into a bowl. In the food processor, beat together the 140g butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Pour in the maple syrup and beat for a further minute or two.
- Bring water to a boil in a kettle. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in 200 ml of boiling water, then gradually pour into the spout of the food processor.
- Add the flour-spice mixture into the food processor and pulse a few times until just incorporated. Pour in the eggs and mix briefly.
- Pour the cake batter into a bowl, then fold in the rhubarb using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform and bake for 50-60 minutes or when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should feel firm and when press it should spring back.
- Cool cake in the form for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Unlike other spice cakes, this one should be eaten within 3-4. Due to the rhubarb it won't keep fresh much longer.
Food Guide – Ingredient Discovery
- Tips on selecting and storing rhubarb
- Follow the spice trail: cinnamon, cloves, coriander and ginger.
The cake was an incredible mix of rich aromas and delicious flavors. I would use more rhubarb however, the next time I make this as although the flavor of rhubarb was very much present, it could have done with a bit more of zesty tartness. I think increasing the rhubarb amount to 300 - 350 g would do it. Due to the maple syrup the cake is not overly sweet but rather adds a deep earthy character, keeping it moist at the same time. Soeren has been taking a lot of the cake to school the past couple of days and really enjoys the flavor combinations. Tom and my colleagues too found the idea of the mixed spices and rhubarb a great combination and have been indulging in the cake.
A lot of colorful and great Spring cakes are being submitted and it seems the mingle is going to be a grand celebration of strawberries, pineapples, lemons, raspberries and other tasty flavors. Maybe you will find time to join us with one of your Spring cake creations. See you there!

Ephesians 1
1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
. Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Go to
Ephesians 2
Go to
The Book

"For Flash developers, and those developers that have a need to access the AJAX Search API from other Non-Javascript environments, the API exposes a simple RESTful interface. In all cases, the method supported is GET and the response format is a JSON encoded result set with embedded status codes."
"Using the APIs from your Flash or Server Side framework couldn't be simpler. If you know how to make an http request, and how to process a JSON response, you are in business," says Mark Lucovsky. Here's a simple example for web search:
There are some differences between the old SOAP API and the REST one.
- the new API doesn't require a key
- there's no limitation for the number of queries
- it's much easier to use
- you can use the REST API for web search, but also for image search, news search, video search, local search, blog search and book search.
- you need to send "a valid and accurate http referer header"
- you can only get up to 8 results in a single call and you can't go beyond the first 32 results
- the terms of use are pretty restrictive: for example, you need to attribute the results to Google and you are not allowed to change the order of search results.
It's interesting to notice that Yahoo's search APIs are more developer-friendly and, although they require an application ID and have some usage limitations (5,000 queries per IP per day), they offer more features and they are more flexible, by also including XML output. Another important difference is that Yahoo doesn't require "a valid and accurate http referer header".
Philipp Lenssen suggests that it's much easier to just screenscrape the results, but search engines could change their code or block your requests.
Update. Check this excellent interview with Mark Lucovsky, who mentions that the API has been available for almost two years, but it wasn't officially documented:

Capacity: Approximately 130ml
Each teapot is handmade. The colors, patterns and shape may vary slightly from the photos above.
This teapot was handmade by the artist 李文新 Li Wenxin.
These are wheel thrown Nixing clay teapots. Each are handmade using Nixing Guangxi Clay. The teapot walls are thin-medium thickness. The clay has a mottled, dark grey to bronze brown color which varies between each pot and is a result of the clay's natural colors and the process of firing the clay.
About the Clay
Nixing Clay pottery is one of the 4 famous types of Chinese ceramics, which include Yixing Zisha. Nixing ceramics are made in Qinzhou, Guangxi. The art is quite old, having been practiced over 1000 years. The clay is found in the surrounding area of Qinzhou, is environmentally friendly, and is used without adding any glaze, paint or other chemicals, making it a safe and healthy clay for use in teaware. Nixing clay is prized for its ability to take on a patina with use, like yixing, and for its degree of porosity. The clay is less porous than zisha but more than porcelain, making it a good clay for use when brewing oolong (similar use to Zhuni Zisha).
You can read more about Nixing clay here.
Preparation Before Use
Nixing Teapots should be prepared before using the first time. This is called "opening the pot". It removes any remaining dust from the teapot.
We recommend rinsing the teapot under warm water two or three times, then filling the teapot with boiling water and emptying it out two to three times. After this the teapot is ready for use.

Elinor Ostrom, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, died this morning at Indiana University's Health Bloomington Hospital.
The university says that the 78-year-old distinguished professor succumbed to cancer.
Ostrom shared the 2009 Nobel. As the prize committee said at the time:
"Elinor Ostrom has challenged the conventional wisdom that common property is poorly managed and should be either regulated by central authorities or privatized. Based on numerous studies of user-managed fish stocks, pastures, woods, lakes, and groundwater basins, Ostrom concludes that the outcomes are, more often than not, better than predicted by standard theories. She observes that resource users frequently develop sophisticated mechanisms for decision-making and rule enforcement to handle conflicts of interest, and she characterizes the rules that promote successful outcomes."
After the honor was announced, as we reported, Ostrom spoke with NPR's Michele Norris about how as a young woman she wasn't allowed to study trigonometry because she was going to be "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen."
