Of the Greek republics, which have again and again risen to greatness and fallen into insignificance, it is not difficult to speak, whether we recount their past history or venture an opinion on their future.
What kind of use of ὅσα is this? It seems to be functioning as a relative pronoun, but is there a Smyth number? Or am I missing some sort of fancy attraction, dropping of antecedent, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

If I were to give you an English translation, I wouldn't know whether to emphasize the numerical aspects or minimize them. But I would claim that for an ancient Greek, ὅσα always carried a numerical signifcance. In this case it is the number of words spoken, or the number of speeches given.
Since we are here, can you give me a gloss for τοῖς ἄλλοθέν ποθεν?
Is this a case where there we have to supply the substantive ourselves? In which case it would be "others"?
pster wrote:I'm still not grasping the ἄλλοθέν ποθεν. Morris says, for these two words, "from the various places where they happened to be". Is there an implied copula?
IreneY wrote:Hey there! You mean whether it's ὅσα πολιτεύματα or not?

pster wrote:Nate, as I just said, the μέν..δέ cases are the same cases. μέν..δέ just distinguish the rises and falls. Same republics. We don't have one the one hand rising republics and on the other hand falling republics. We have republics that rise and then the same republics fall.
pster wrote:I assume that it is just governed by ἐξήγησιν and ἀπόφασιν in parallel.
pster wrote:Nate seems to say it is a partitive genitive. I don't see any part/whole relationship to support this. The ones that rise and fall aren't a part of the Greek republics, they are the whole.

The Marine Mammal Center is a nonprofit organization that rescues, rehabilitates and releases sick, injured and orphaned marine mammals.
Since 1975, the Center has rescued more than 18,500 animals that have been found along 600 miles of Northern and Central California coastline, from Mendocino County through San Luis Obispo County.
Since its humble beginnings over three decades ago, The Marine Mammal Center has grown into a world-class rescue and research Center, but its goals have remained unchanged: to rescue and humanely treat marine mammals in need, to increase our knowledge about marine mammals, their health and the health of the ocean, and to inspire ocean conservation and stewardship.
In June 2009, The Marine Mammal Center opened the doors of its newly rebuilt hospital and education facility. Visitors can view seal and sea lion patients from the observation deck, learn about marine mammals and the Center's work via exhibits, peer into different viewing windows to see feeds prepared, lab work, and even post-mortems taking place, and take a stroll through the courtyard and gift store. Parking is limited and carpooling is recommended.
As a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, the Center relies on 80% of its funding from individuals and private donations.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
Benefit from the nation's most comprehensive ADR curriculum
As editor-in-chief of the Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution, I aim to ensure the continued success of the journal as the leader in the field of alternative dispute resolution. I want to continue JDR's tradition of bringing scholars and practitioners together to collaborate in finding innovative methods of approaching dispute resolution.
JDR also holds a special place in the ADR field as the official journal of the ABA's Section of Dispute Resolution. We were founded by former Dean Nancy Rogers and are guided by the best minds in the field – our ADR professors. This synergy between JDR and the faculty enables our journal members to utilize a strong foundation in dispute resolution in furtherance of successful careers.

Columbus, OH
Increasingly, courts are moving beyond traditional trials and appeals to help clients find satisfactory resolutions to their disagreements. Negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and other processes are helping parties reach a satisfying outcome. Moritz has one of the finest programs in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and it is consistently ranked among the nation's top programs by our peers.
J.D. students have an opportunity to earn a Certificate in Dispute Resolution, and LL.M.
students may choose to concentrate in ADR. J.D. students who enroll in a minimum 15 credit hours of ADR courses and complete an externship are awarded a Certificate in Dispute Resolution at graduation.
While in law school, selected J.D. students can edit and write articles for the award-winning Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution (JDR) and work as research assistants for ADR faculty members. The journal, founded in 1985, is the official law journal of the American Bar Association's Section on Dispute Resolution. ADR students and faculty also publish the electronic Mayhew-Hite Report, which brings news from the field to lawyers and educators around the country. During the school year, Moritz hosts several advocacy skills competitions that emphasize mediation and negotiation.
To help fine tune skills, Ohio State allows students to mediate actual disputes as part of one of the nation's longest-running mediation clinics. In the Mediation Clinic, students learn about alternative methods to settling problems. Students study the law and theory of mediation and how to resolve disputes in the classroom and then gain practical experience by serving as mediators in Small Claims Court cases pending in the City of Columbus Municipal Courts or in multiparty disputes in a variety of extrajudicial settings.
Each year, J.D. students can participate in the Lawrence Negotiation Competition. The intra-school negotiation competition is administered by the Moritz Moot Court and Lawyering Skills Program. Students can participate in a range of activities, including a targeted workshop or classes designed to assist students' understanding of theoretical concepts and performance skills; speakers, both academics and practitioners, discuss frameworks and strategies for conducting negotiations; and the competition.
Through the generosity of the family of Stanley Schwartz Jr. '47, the College annually offers a lecture on a dispute resolution topic by distinguished scholars and practitioners. Recent presenters have included such preeminent scholars as Francis McGovern (Duke), James Fishkin (Stanford), Ian Ayres (Yale), Lawrence Susskind (Harvard and MIT), Amy Gutmann (Princeton), Robert Mnookin (Harvard), Judith Resnik (Yale), Craig McEwen (Bowdoin), and Robert A. Baruch Bush (Hofstra) and such distinguished jurists as Harry T. Edwards and Dorothy Nelson.
Faculty selectively participate in public policy studies and projects on matters relating to dispute resolution, which provide opportunities for students to serve as research assistants or program participants. Initiatives have included working with selected Columbus public schools and law firms in the design and delivery of a dispute resolution training program for middle school students.
The Ohio State University Moritz Law Library, one of the nation's largest academic law libraries, houses a preeminent collection of dispute resolution materials.

Irv Spector and Style
When people who don't already have strong drawing skills think of "style", they are usually thinking about the last layer or the surface layer of a drawing - the line, the finish, or some trick of the shape of the character's eye.
I know if you make a nice clean storyboard with bold black lines, it impresses the Hell out of executives - even if the drawings underneath the polished line smell like your cat box.
Young cartoonists are a little more sophisticated than animation executives because they can recognize a stylish looser line, but the same problem exists - just to a slightly lesser degree. The youngsters love their squared off fingers and 'tude faces, thinking that they are somehow symbols of high style or that they are drawing just like Milt Kahl. Modern squared fingers and hands (and faces) are 2 dimensional and only have a few easy-to-draw positions vs Kahl's whose are 3 dimensional. These have a potentially infinite amount of angles and attitudes - a huge difference in skill and quality. (I still find them offensively ugly though)
Corners do not make style. Simple surface elements without solid principles underneath are merely excuses for ignorance.
This panel, on the surface looks like Walt Kelly. The loose brush lines on the dog's nose is definitely a Kelly trademark.Spector uses a lot more dynamic angles and compositions than Kelly and also has a very unique style of shapes he uses that distinguish him from Kelly and other animation cartoonists.
If a young cartoonist liked this style, he might think that the secret to it is wobbly lines and shapes.
If you could copy this line style, that wouldn't by itself give you the ability to draw a good composition, perspective, line of action and construction - all of which these drawings have.
You might think the construction is off here because the belly shape doesn't fit 100% on the pussy's form. It definitely doesn't, but I can see that the form is very solidly suggested, but the lines just skirt around on top of the form like a loose glove. The knowledge of construction is completely there though.
Compare to Harvey Eisenberg's lines which fit around the construction like a tight glove.
It's like when a great singer like Sinatra takes the lyrics and melody and just barely avoids delivering it right where it's written in mathematical tempo. Instead he uses and is applauded for his "phrasing" - his slightly loose interpretation of the timing. He starts some words before where you expect them to hit, and some after - and it isn't at random. It's all according to great sensitivity and emotion. He is expertly toying with the listener's expectations. He knows exactly where every note is supposed to land, but varies it on purpose for emotional effects that can't be written in words or in musical notation.
Frank can sing on key, has a wide range, has great rhythm, great control and enunciation - all principles of good singing. The last thing he does after learning his fundamental skills is give you his fantastic moving style.
I like these big pupils but wouldn't assume that if I drew big pupils I would automatically have my own style or could draw just like Irv Spector.
Irv Spector has a unique style - it only superfically looks like Kelly. What actually makes it unique is much harder to define.
It's completely obvious to me though, that he has the same background knowledge and skill that most of the classic animators had. Without that, an animator is crippled. Just like a singer who can't carry a tune.
Listen to Frank and Ollie....starting with "SOLID DRAWING" That's where it all begins - including the journey towards style.

Hello John,
My Name is Matthew and I was wondering if you do T-shirts Designs and stuff Like that.

Good comparison with Sinatra's rubato!
- Sherm said...
John: Your Sinatra analogy is totally dead-on -- I'd never thought of brush strokes and rendering in comparison to a singer's phrasing, but it's a wonderfully enlightening comparison.
Thanks for the daily creative challenges! --sherm
- Andy J. Latham said...
natra. I guess the same could be applied to motion with animation. Hit poses when audiences aren't expecting them?
- Dan szilagyi said...
While i agree that most if not all modern cartoons look pretty ugly you seem to give me the impression that you think these "young cartoonists" aren't good artists because you only show the examples of what they did for TV, if i'm not mistaken that "squared fingers" drawing is done by Steve Silver and i'm sure as hell he knows all about shape, construction and line weight.
The fact that he did it for a TV show doesn't mean he couldn't do something better, but you didn't mention that simple styles also lend themselves to an easier time animating, i'm sure you've seen some examples of horrible animation done overseas because of the design being too tough to animate.
- Enef said...
Just a stupid comment to say: Hey, that's great to see all that wonderful stuff!
I really like it and it helps me a lot in my own job!
I'm really fond of "old fashioned" comics and cartoons. We got a lot to learn from all there guys.
Thanks you!
- klil said...
thank you professor.
I learn a lot in this blog.
abraço do Brasil
(it means a hug in portuguese)
- JohnK said...
Hi Dan
everyone draws square fingers today. It's like a disease. It has nothing to do with what overseas animators do. It's just plain easy and mindless. People think it's hip to all be the same.
- Larry Levine said...
Irv Spector's drawing style has a playful Milt Gross quality to it.
- Calvin Ashmore said...
Hi John! Please give us a post about solid drawing. What is solid drawing? What isn't? It sounds textbook and rudimentary, but it's clearly something that animators either struggle with or haven't learned. It would be fantastic if you could give some instruction.
- JohnK said...
click the "construction" label at the bottom of the post and many articles will come up
I'm gonna do a post to illustrate Frank and Ollie's article soon
just gathering pics and clips...
- David Germain said...
Yes indeed, learning the basics is important. I certainly keep that in mind while drawing (whenever I have time to do my own drawings anyway).
Latest attempt!
I think I'm getting better but I'd like a second opinion.
- Rudy Tenebre said...
You gettin' this Spector stuff from the sterling authority of Ger, or have you managed to aquire some of these books firsthand? What were they published in, like ferinstance, Animal Antics, or Ha Ha Comics, or the like? Or were they newspaper strips?
- MikeL said...
Interesting perspective. I actually like "some" of the squared stuff... but the problem is that it has become trendy and is done in everything as you said John.
The 90's Batman cartoon is the earliest I can remember this style, and it was done that way for flavor.
What of the 3d stuff? I've noticed that all of that animation is taking a "Pixar" look.... which also includes some of the squared edges and whatnot... examples range from the Incredibles to the new Clone Wars series.
- Rudy Tenebre said...
Also, with the exception of an instance or two of rather pronounced perspective reduction, I see nothing in the Spector compositions here that cannot be found in Kelly. And as far as construction is concerned, where Kelly is quite staid,
(or "on model" as you yucks are wont to say) Spector seems, contrary to the subtle elision of your Sinatra analogy, a really wonderfully violent disabuse of character construction verging on the amorphous. Now yer gonna reply that beneath this veil of appearence lies the knowlege of mastery in fundamnetal principles, but that don't detract from the defection Spector commits. All right, lemmie have it, jack.
- PCUnfunny said...
I've seen those square hands in animated films dating back over thirty years, amazing how little has changed. I love those Spector drawings, it's so tempting to copy but I know I shouldn't.
Hi, John. First of all, thank you for making this blog and staying with it for so long. If it didn't exist I might still be one of the those people obsessed with Disney just because everyone else is.
Also, I'm curious about getting into the industry. I'd like to make my own cartoons independently, but obviously that would become a financial burden after a while. In today's animation industry, is anyone NOT outsourcing to Asia? I could rough it out making crappy shows, but I'm worried that there aren't any studios left who would hire in the States.
Love the part about Sinatra, by the way. --Michael
- Brandon D. said...
Square fingers and angles, does this mean you'll be chastising Jack Kirby (his later work), or Bruce Timm's designs?
- Will said...
Reading about hands and style, remined me of all the asterix books, which have so much style and really really nicly drawn hands, and all the illistrations carry great emotion. But i found that you cannot truely apriciate what Uderzo puts into his works untill you try to draw them yourself. =)
- Lucas Nine said...
Irv's work have a little flavor of Feininger's. By the way, I would like to see someday how your "line of action" analysis applies to Lyonel's comic pages...
- Jeremy said...
Its great to see how the old masters really thought about their characters and invested themselves in creating the best performances. These comic panels are really appealing with great, sincere storytelling because these guys spent the time to know their character and had the chops to craft what they visualized.
Today, not only is an over emphasis on style an issue but so is lack of thought and a belief that simplicity = easy. Its really hard once someone has gone down that path to restart and get headed in a better direction - but its worth the effort :)
- Humphrey Erm said...
"The youngsters love their squared off fingers and 'tude faces, thinking that they are somehow symbols of high style or that they are drawing just like Milt Kahl."
First of all, I doubt today's youngsters even know who Milt Kahl is, so I doubt that they think these styles are 'inferior' variations of his style.
Secondly, you just said kids love this, regardless if it isn't high style and such. In the end, isn't that the market that the cartoon was aiming for to begin with? The youngsters? Not the middle aged men who lived through the golden age of animation or at least cares about it?
- JohnK said...
Well let's all become more retarded and inbred with each generation.
We'll let the marketing departments forge our personalities. They know best.
- Humphrey Erm said...
"Well let's all become more retarded and inbred with each generation.
We'll let the marketing departments forge our personalities. They know best."
The first sentence I'd say is base on pure subjectivity, though you have an entire blog to use for the validity of your statement, and I wont delve into that too much, seeing that you cant really debate about a subjective matter.
Your second comment there though reeks of truth (in the sense that its a sarcastic point that I'm not taking at face value).
Naturally we don't want marketing departments to forge our personalities, but are they really? If not them (in regards to cartoons) then who? Should we let you forge our personalities? I'm not too sure which one is better to tell you the truth.
No personal offenses meant by the way, and I apologize if I have. I merely want to spark discussion and debate.
- Mr. Semaj said...
everyone draws square fingers today
Maybe I'm missing something, but I've only seen a few cartoons, on the Disney Channel and Cartoon Network with this "square digit" syndrome.
- Guy said...
I like how people use "kids like it" as a defense.
As if there's anything on television that isn't one of several slightly different brands of ugly and crude.
And kids are liking them less and less with every generation.
- PCUnfunny said...
And kids are liking them less and less with every generation."
I have never seen kids like this stuff and enjoy it. I have seen them sit down and watch Danny Phantom and they are bored out of their minds. I have seen a group of adults watch American Dad, not a single person laughed during the whole episode. Very few people like the garbage on today, they only watch it because there is nothing else better on.
- Guy said...
Don't worry, I only used "like" in the sense that they don't actively hate them.
I've certainly never seen a kid watch one of today's cartoons doing anything but staring in a zombie-like daze, maybe giggling once in a few hours.

Taking Care of Your Diabetes When You Are at School or Work
Like most people, you are busy—trying to accomplish a lot in a small amount of time. But when you have type 1 diabetes , you have to keep track of your blood glucose levels, give yourself medication, eat right, and exercise . These steps are essential to your health, and skipping any 1 of them can negatively impact your diabetes. When your days are filled with school or work, how can you put your health first and live your life?
Being at School
You have 5 classes, gym, and after-school activities, but you also have diabetes. What's the best approach to manage all of this? Have a diabetes management plan in place and share this with the school staff—nurses, teachers, coaches, guidance counselor, cafeteria manager, recess monitor, and even bus drivers. The more people who know about your condition, the more support you will get.
Your parents can schedule a meeting at the school to go over your plan. This is important because everyone who works with you should understand the basics of diabetes and be familiar with complications that you can have. Also, you need the flexibility to test your blood sugar, give yourself an insulin injection, and have a snack or drink to treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia ). You may also need a schedule where you have lunch at the same time every day.
These steps can help you to get through your school day:
- Try to stick to your regular schedule of eating, testing glucose, giving yourself an injection, and being active.
- Do you have an especially busy day ahead? Any change to your schedule can affect diabetes. Have a kit on hand to treat hypoglycemia. This kit can include items like glucose tablets, fruit juice, soft drinks (with sugar), hard candy, or sugar packets. Ask your doctor how much you should take. For example, 3-4 glucose tablets may be what you need to adjust the levels. If you have an exam coming up or a strenuous gym class, remember to check your glucose right before.
- Prepare for the school day. Pack all of the supplies that you'll need—testing strips, medications, and kit to treat hypoglycemia. You should also have back-up supplies in the nurse's office in case you forget or lose them. Bring a healthful lunch that includes snacks and drinks. Wear or carry identification that says you have diabetes. There are a lot more options than having to wear the stainless steel medic alert bracelet. Online, you can find jewelry in all kinds of styles that alert people to your condition. Keep emergency contacts in your desk, locker, and backpack.
- If your schedule has changed a lot, like participating more in sports, talk to your doctor. You may need a new diabetes management plan. In general, it is a good idea to exercise after lunch. Or, have a snack before being active.
- Find out what you should do if you have a substitute teacher or if the nurse is not in school. Keep a copy of your diabetes management plan at the school in case you need to show it to the staff.
- If you are bullied at school because you have diabetes, tell an adult right away. Talk to someone you trust, whether it is a parent, teacher, or guidance counselor. It is their job to keep you safe, and you have the right to feel comfortable in your school.
- Talk to your friends. Chances are they will be understanding about your condition and will offer support.
- Ask your doctor what the warning signs are for hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Know when you need to call for emergency services.
Being at Work
If you have diabetes, laws in the United States, such as the Americans With Disabilities Act, stop employers from firing, refusing to hire, or refusing to promote you because of your disability. The laws also mean that your employer must make accommodations for you. These can involve giving you extra time to test your blood glucose level, give yourself an injection or medication, and eat snacks and lunch. If you have problems related to diabetes, like poor vision or foot pain, your employer must also accommodate you. For example, if your job usually requires that you stand up for long periods, you may be allowed to do your work sitting down.
Following these strategies can help you manage your diabetes while climbing the corporate ladder:
- Share your diabetes management plan with your boss, coworkers, and nurse or medical team (if your company has one). It is important that they know what to do if you have a complication. In your desk and car, keep items like glucose tablets, hard candy, sugar packets, fruit juice, and soft drinks (with sugar) to treat hypoglycemia, or have money for a vending machine. Ask your doctor how much you should take to bring the glucose levels back up.
- If your work schedule changes, talk to your doctor. Your diabetes management plan may need to be revised.
- Prepare for your work day by packing everything that you'll need—diabetes supplies (such as testing strips, syringes, needles, batteries for meters and pumps) and medicine. In addition to carrying a diabetes identification card in your wallet, remember to wear your medic alert bracelet. If you feel uncomfortable wearing it, look online to find ID bracelets, necklaces, and charms in many styles. Keep emergency contacts in your desk or backpack.
- Take the time to prepare a healthful lunch that includes fresh fruits and veggies. For busy days, have on hand canned soup, tuna, fruit juice, and vegetable juice. Going out to lunch? Read the menu first; many restaurants post their menus online. Once there, make good choices, like ordering a broth-based soup or salad, skipping the rolls and butter, eating smaller portions, and splitting dessert. In general, try to eat lunch at the same time every day.
- Exercise can help your body use insulin better. Take a half hour to walk or workout in the gym. To avoid hypoglycemia, exercise after eating lunch or have a snack before the activity. You should also test your glucose.
- If you have an especially demanding task, test your blood sugar right before.
- Be sure you know what symptoms should trigger you to call the doctor right away.
Whether you are preparing for an exam or trying to meet a deadline at work, you still need to monitor your diabetes. This all comes down to being prepared and having good communication with your doctor.

With so much being thrown at us at once it's no wonder that some changes have gone unnoticed. I already mentioned a few of those changes
last week a few weeks ago, but today we're going to take a close look at one overlooked feature in particular – the Professions Window.
I don't remember what all was said in the patch notes and such regarding the professions window, but I'm pretty sure that out of all of the changes this one most likely wasn't at the top of your list for things to pay attention to. If you've done anything with your professions (and you don't use an addon to replace the built in window) then you know just from looking at it that there are some new features there.
I'm going to mention a couple of them here, and if you've noticed any other new features your self feel free to share them with us in the comments.
Commonly Known Features
The most commonly known and recognized features of the new professions window are the two new buttons up at the top right corner.
The first (top) of those new buttons allows you to link your profession to any channel that you're currently a part of, including ones like Party and Raid chat, and it also allows you to put in a few words of text either before or after the link in case you're advertising for business in Trade chat or the like. I've used macros for this for a long time so this particular feature didn't really give me anything new, but it did allow me to delete those macros to make more room for others.
The second button in that corner is the filter button. It allows you to filter your recipes to show only the ones that meet the criteria that you specify. You can have it show only the ones that you're carrying the mats for right now or you can have it show you only the ones that have a chance to give you a skill point when you make it. You can also sort by equipment slots, item types, and so on depending on which profession you're looking at.
I really like the filter feature because I'm a pretty serious professions power leveler; As soon as my toons reach the right character level to train the next skill level of their professions I learn it and then power level the profession back to the top again. This feature allows me to skip over all of the useless recipes that I can't skill up on and only look at what's available. It also helps me find gear upgrades for specific slots in Leatherworking and Blacksmithing where before my best filters were strictly armor type (cloth, leather, mail, plate) where I needed more specific (plate chest, mail legs, etc).
Overlooked Features
There's also another component of the new professions window that's overlooked, or perhaps misunderstood, and that's the search window. At the very top of the professions window, spreading across the center, is a search box that you can type in to narrow down a search. That's easy enough to understand, and something you've likely already had access to if you've used professions addons before.
But that's not the only thing that search window can do. The addon that I used before 4.0 had a search feature, but it only looked at the names. It saved me a lot of time, especially with Enchanting which was such a beast to sort through otherwise, but names don't always cut it. This new search window doesn't just look at the name, it looks at everything. By "everything" I mean it looks at the name, the mats, and the stats or abilities.
Search Window: Stats
Take a look at Enchanting. What if someone asks you, "What enchants do you have that give Agility?" Can you answer that one? Do you know which enchants they are and which equipment slots they go to? Do you know the names of all of them? Enchanting doesn't hold a strict naming convention, nor does it hold to equipment slots; heck, enchanting doesn't even stay consistent in which enchants progress across level ranges and which do not. Not every enchant that grants Agility actually has the word Agility in their name. Some have words you could associate with it, like Stealth, but others don't and might not catch your eye if you're just scrolling through looking for a specific stat. Mongoose gives Agility, Crusader gives Strength, Ice Walker gives Crit, but the names themselves don't tell you that if you're not familiar with the profession.
How about if you're looking for crafted gear for your freshly dinged level 85 tank. It's a lot easier to find gear you need if you put Dodge or Parry into the search box. For a Healer, you might want to search for Spirit, Intellect, or Spell Power instead. Caster DPS might be more interested in Critical Strike Rating, or perhaps they're short on Hit or looking for Haste. Melee DPS might need more Expertise. If you're getting ready for some PvP it might be a good idea to hit up the local crafters and search for Resilience, or "speed" if you're looking for new enchants with a speed bonus but don't know the names for all of the new ones.
The search feature is fantastic for finding specific stats on gear, enchants, and gems because it looks at more than just the name.
Search Window: Materials
If you have a lot of mats sitting around in your bank or spread across your alts, it helps to know what you can do with them. One of your options is to use the built in filter to show only the recipes you have the mats for. While that feature is handy it's not entirely accurate for getting rid of mats if you don't have all of the mats on hand, for instance there may be a vendor item you don't have on hand, or maybe it requires you to craft one other item that you have mats for but haven't made yet (the wires and settings and such for JC is a good example).
If you use the search feature instead though, then you can see every recipe that uses that particular material. You can also use both a search and a filter at the same time to find an even more focused result, but again the filters like "have mats" or "gives skill ups" will remove recipes that do not fit those categories.
Using the search for a mat allows you to go down your list and see what other mats you might be missing to get rid of some of your stock so that you can either craft items to put on the AH, give/sell to other players, craft to disenchant, or whatever else it is you feel like making. It can also help you decide to get rid of the mats themselves if you see that it only goes into recipes you're never going to use or ones that are great for leveling and could bring in a lot of profit if you sold the mats raw instead of trying to craft with them. It might also open your eyes to the fact that you don't even have the recipe that the mat is used for.
If someone in your guild sends a message out to gchat saying, "Hey, can anybody do anything with [random mat]?" You can shift-click that while you have your professions window open to see what all you can make with it and then link the items back if they want something made for them, or if they're just looking to give it to someone that can do something with it then you'll know whether or not you can. Remember, mats are rarely restricted to being used in only a single profession, so doing a quick search might even reveal a mat that you didn't realize (or forgot) that you could use.
There's only one drawback I've seen to new professions windows so far and it's really just a minor hassle that's easy to get around. The problem with it is that it takes priority of your shift-clicks. So if you have the window open at your bank and you want to break one of your stacks of mats in the bank because you know you only need 2-3 of them to craft something and you go to shift-click the stack to take a smaller portion it's always going to assume you really meant to use the search feature with that shift-click instead. So you can't break stacks into smaller stacks while you have the professions window open, but all you have to do is close it and then break your stacks as you please, then open it again when you're ready to craft.
That's really the only drawback I've seen with the new windows. I have experienced a few glitches when using filters where the filter gets applied, then I make something, and then the filter glitches or something and several other recipes pop up in the window (sometimes all of them) even though it shows the filter still in place. But that's not a drawback so much as it's just a bug in the system thanks to the expansion.

When the Federal Emergency Management Agency unveiled revised flood maps for Valley Stream two weeks ago, about 1,600 families breathed a sigh of relief. No longer would they be saddled with high insurance premiums, or diminished property values. About 1,000 homeowners, however, weren't so lucky. They remain in the newly drawn flood zone.
Now come some tough decisions. Under federal legislation passed last year, which required that FEMA redraw Nassau County's maps using local, relevant data, municipalities were given the option of challenging the new maps. Valley Stream village officials have indicated that they are unlikely to do so, out of concern that it would cause a delay for those hundreds of homes slated to come out of the high-risk zone.
We encourage village officials not to dismiss a challenge of the maps just yet. They have three months to make a decision on filing a Letter of Map Revision. This is a decision that should be made carefully and thoughtfully. We think village officials should take the pulse of the residents, both in and out of the flood zone, to determine whether they should file a formal challenge.
Yes, contesting the maps could have short-term ramifications for the residents who will be removed from the zone, and the cost to these homeowners must be considered carefully, especially if insurance rates are going to jump. However, accepting the new maps will have costly long-term implications for those who remain in the flood zone.
In 2009, the village did not challenge the maps that added about 2,500 Valley Stream homes to the flood zone. In hindsight, that may have been a mistake, but it was a decision made with inaccurate information given to the village. Officials then had been told that residents who purchased flood insurance before the September 2009 adoption of the maps would be "grandfathered in," i.e., they would remain in their current zone. But they still were compelled to pay the rates for the higher-risk zone.
So, in 2010, when residents started getting flood insurance bills in excess of $2,000 a year — even those who bought policies ahead of time — the outrage was not surprising.
Hurricane Sandy was a good test of the flood maps. It showed that there are areas, like Gibson, that never belonged in the flood zone, as many resident claimed.
It's good that the hard work and relentless fighting of residents, village officials and federal representatives has finally yielded some positive results for Valley Streamers. There is still work to be done, though, to ensure that every home that doesn't belong in the flood zone is removed. Ultimately, the changes can only be made at the federal level, but progress won't come without direction from those in Valley Stream who know the community best.

All-woman slate in New Hampshire for governor, Congress
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — For the first time in New Hampshire's history — and perhaps nationally — a state is sending an all-woman delegation to Congress and a woman to the governor's office.
New Hampshire voters elected Democrat Maggie Hassan governor on Tuesday to succeed John Lynch, who's leaving after eight years. Voters also elected Democrats Carol Shea-Porter and Ann McLane Kuster to the 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts.
They join Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte.
Kuster said Wednesday it's very exciting and she looks forward to working with her colleagues.
Hassan said it's always important to have a broad range of experience represented, and she thinks women bring that to the table.

Jubilee Legal Services Jeffrey Ankrom, Esq. Solutions for debt and foreclosure in these tough economic times
The Old Testament story of the "Year of Jubilee" is a poignant metaphor for redemption and the forgiveness of debt. The "Year of Jubilee", which occurred only once every fifty years, marked the time when all enslaved Israelites were to be set free, when all land which had been sold was to be returned to its original owner, and when all debts were to be forgiven. This act of redemption meant that no Israelite could ever lose his inheritance nor be in permanent slavery, either to a master or to debt. This story was the inspiration for Attorney Jeffrey Ankrom's legal practice, "Jubilee Legal Services". Furthermore, it is the philosophy which guides this attorney's work - that no one should have to be enslaved by the heavy burden of debt, and that "redemption" is possible for all.
Jeffrey Ankrom, Esq., a native of North Kingstown and an honor's graduate of Boston University's School of Law, served as both a legal clerk in Connecticut's Superior Court and in a private practice before returning to Warwick this spring. While at the Superior Court, Attorney Ankrom assisted judges with foreclosure cases and saw first-hand the hardship that foreclosures imposed. He saw how the dream of home ownership was shattered by the kind of overwhelming debt and financial despair that has come from our struggling economy. He saw how the misfortune of unemployment, divorce, crippling medical expenses, death, the rising cost of living and the unexpected loss of income had blindsided homeowners everywhere - and he wanted to lend his legal expertise and compassion to allow these homeowners to experience their own "year of jubilee."
Jubilee Legal Services provides legal help to those who are declaring bankruptcy as a way to obtain relief from debt and to avoid foreclosure. Atty. Ankrom assures his clients that, while there are no guarantees, there are many options available to those who are confronted with inescapable debt and the risk of losing their homes. He says: "There is a great deal you can do to legally fight for your home," and reaffirms his commitment to exploring these options until an agreeable resolution for all is reached.
Atty. Ankrom can help negotiate loan modifications to make monthly mortgage payments more affordable; can be an advocate in bankruptcy proceedings and can accompany you through every step of this often difficult and confusing legal process. He also assures his clients that with his professional guidance, there can be a fruitful and financially secure outcome for those seeking this option.
For those who are faced with the possibility of foreclosure or threatened with unremitting debt, contact Attorney Jeffrey Ankrom at 401-524-0648. Jubilee Legal Services is located in the DeFelice Center at 3970 Post Road in Warwick. You can also visit his website at www.jubileelegalservices.

Businesses are trying to control their legal costs by getting law firms to offer alternatives to their traditional billable hours, and lawyers are responding with new compensation models, like quoting flat fees for routine matters and then billing by the hour for litigation, which can be highly unpredictable. A good alternative billing arrangement has to meet the test of any successful negotiation, lawyers said: it must to fair to both sides, helping clients forecast their legal fees without exposing lawyers to unreasonable financial risk.
"If you are handling a business transaction, a real estate transaction, you can pretty much forecast what has to be done, and that might be susceptible to a flat-fee arrangement," said Angelo J. Genova of Newark-based Genova, Burns, Giantomasi and Webster. "But in a litigation where you really can't assess an outcome from a judge or an issue that might have to be pursued stemming from discovery, lawyers attempt to mitigate the risk by billing by the hour."
Genova said his firm is also exploring project-based billing: "We estimate the cost to do the project, then work within that budget." And the firm reviews bills and makes courtesy adjustments to clients where warranted "in an effort to ensure that our fees are reasonable, and fall within the pale of what is rational given the work that has to be performed."
Alternative billing arrangements "are designed to address the rising cost of legal representation, but ultimately, real alternative billing is about practice management and case management by the lawyers," Genova said. "The lawyer who is committed to ensuring that fees are reasonable is going to devote the attention to manage the time and energy of lawyers involved in the case, and do only what is critical and necessary to ensure the client's agenda, and do it as efficiently as possible."
Billable hours have become a scapegoat, but the real issue is "managing cases and putting in place business paradigms and teams within law firms to ensure that the work is done efficiently," Genova said.
Philip R. Sellinger heads the New Jersey office of the international law firm Greenberg Traurig, which has developed software "which allows us to price our services in the most cost-effective manner possible. We can break down each of the items in the project by task, and it allows us to project the cost of our services on a very specific and focused level." He said that by accurately projecting costs, the firm can staff each matter properly and "not find ourselves in a situation where we are off base."
He said the firm's command of technology "sets us apart in the sense that we think our ability to price properly put us in the position that we can assure clients the same quality of service," regardless of the type of billing model that is used. He said alternative billing can be a challenge for law firms "that do not have the ability to know precisely what their costs are, and then find themselves in situations where they have misbid projects, and that leads to an undesirable outcome."
Sellinger said what he hears from clients is "they are very concerned that when they do alternative billing, the law firm may submit a bid that is completely unrealistic and does not allow them to staff a matter to provide the quality of service" the client expects. He said clients "want predictability, they want consistent quality and they want value."
Edward B. Deutsch, managing partner of McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter in Morristown, is a big believer in alternative billing, which he said protects clients from unpleasant surprises and motivates law firms to be more efficient. "By going to alternative fees, it forces you in the beginning of the matter to really evaluate how efficient you can be. It makes you ask: How is this case going to progress? How can we get it settled quickly, and if we have to try it, how long is that going to take? And it gives the client a real legitimate framework of the costs going forward."
Deutsch said that for several Fortune 100 companies, his firm does all the litigation in a certain field in a regional area for a set amount of money. "If we're able to do excellent work and very efficiently, we get rewarded for that, and the client is protected by a cap on the fee structure."
Sometimes small-business clients are "interested in having an estimated fee or a capped fee in a matter, so they know where it is going and it is not this never-ending problem," said Deutsch. "We build into that a lot of 'what ifs.' What if the other side is unbelievably litigious or is very difficult to deal with? Sometimes we have to sit down with the client and say 'This is not going the way anybody planned and we have to readjust this.' And most clients are very willing to do it."
Deutsch said that after decades in the legal profession, "Most good lawyers kind of know what a case is going to cost, so you're not really pulling something out of the air." He sees alternative billing as the way of the future: "Clients want to know up front what it's going to cost."
Peter R. Spirgel is managing partner of Flaster Greenberg in Cherry Hill, which he said has been offering alternative fee arrangements for years. "We have clients who have very predictable legal needs who say: 'You handle all of the work in this area for a fixed fee.'"
In some cases, the firm tracks the attorneys' hours "and there is an adjustment, so neither side gets a windfall." But even without an adjustment, it makes sense for a law firm to track the hours worked during a flat-fee project, Spirgel said. At year-end, the law firm might want to renegotiate the deal if the amount of work it performed exceeded the flat fee. "How could you rationally say that unless you kept track of the time?"
For one business client that often gets hit with lawsuits, Spirgel's firm offers a combination flat fee and "negative contingency" model. For example, if the company is sued for $100,000 and Flaster Greenberg is able to settle the case for $33,000, the firm receives a portion of the savings.
Spirgel said that for alternative fee arrangements to work, "both parties have to be sensitive to the needs of the other. If the client has a need for budgetary certainty, it would be foolish for the lawyer to ignore that. This is a competitive environment, and some other lawyer will offer a fee arrangement that addresses that need."
Spirgel said one client is being charged a reduced hourly fee, with contingent compensation based on the outcome of the litigation. On another matter, the law firm is charging an hourly rate up to a certain cap; once the cap is reached, a hybrid fee arrangement kicks in, and some of the risk is shifted to the firm.
"The bottom line is that lawyers who insist on being inflexible in how they structure their billing are going to put themselves at a competitive disadvantage."

Scenes of the Red Sox' frustrating September
Scenes of the Red Sox' frustrating September
The Red Sox' slide began on Sept. 1 in a 4-2 loss to the Yankees. An incredulous Adrian Gonzalez watched a called third strike as the Yankees and their fans celebrated a series win at Fenway.
Andrew Miller was roughed up by the Rangers for six runs in 1 1/3 innings on Sept. 2 as Texas opened a three-game series with a 10-0 win. The Red Sox surrendered first place in the AL East to the Yankees with the loss
Carl Crawford provided the weekend's biggest hit with a fourth-inning grand slam on Sept. 3 that helped power a 12-7 win against the Rangers.
In the series finale on Sept. 4, the Rangers battered starter John Lackey and reliever Felix Doubront (shown) for nine runs in the first 5 1/3 innings.
When the Rangers left town, Dustin Pedroia and the Red Sox had fallen 1 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the AL East and were eight games ahead of the Rays.
A day game on Sept. 5 in Toronto proved unlucky for the Red Sox and David Ortiz. The team lost starter Josh Beckett to a sprained ankle in the fourth inning.
The day ended with Dan Wheeler surrendering a walkoff home run to Brett Lawrie in the 11th inning of a 1-0 loss.
The Red Sox got one back on Sept. 6 when they beat up on the Blue Jays 14-0.
Daniel Bard blew an 8-6 lead on Sept. 7 when he allowed five runs in the eighth inning of an 11-10 loss. It would be the first of his three losses over eight days.
The Blue Jays stymied Ortiz and the Red Sox 7-4 in the series finale on Sept. 8. The lead over the Rays shrank to 6 1/2 games with the Red Sox headed to Tampa. The seeds of a potentially historic comeback by the Rays began to take root.
Ortiz went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and the Red Sox managed just six hits as the Rays buoyed their playoff chances with a 7-2 win on Sept. 9.
More disappointment was in store for the Red Sox on Sept. 10 when a ninth-inning comeback that forced extra innings was wasted when the Rays turned a leadoff triple in the 11th into a 6-5 win.
B.J. Upton's grand slam fueled a 9-1 win in the series finale on Sept. 11, and the Rays closed the gap in the playoff race to 3 1/2 games.
Panic began to set in around Red Sox Nation as a playoff spot that once looked certain began to seem in doubt. Rays manager Joe Maddon said there was a "message" sent to Terry Francona's team.
The panic came to a halt when the Red Sox returned to Fenway on Sept. 13 and beat up on the Blue Jays 18-6. Pedroia's three-run home run in the sixth inning was one of the key hits.
The win against the Blue Jays also marked the long-awaited 200th victory for Tim Wakefield, who had waited 51 days since his 199th.
The Red Sox could not follow up with a win on Sept. 14, however. Bard again imploded when he blew a 4-2 lead by allowing three runs in the eighth inning.
Josh Reddick struck out in the ninth inning of the 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays. The lead over the Rays shrank to four games, with Tampa coming to town for a four-game series.
The slump continued for Pedroia and the Red Sox when the Rays arrived. Rookie starter Kyle Weiland was rocked for four runs in three innings en route to a 9-2 Tampa win.
Tampa's Evan Longoria, left, hit a three-run home run to key the victory for the surging Rays. Afterward, he celebrated with Upton.
Carl Crawford went 0-for-3 in the loss to his former team.
The Red Sox finally beat the Rays on Sept. 16 as Beckett returned to the rotation. Jonathan Papelbon closed out the 4-3 win.
The bad breaks returned on Sept. 17, however, when the Rays beat Pedroia and the Red Sox 4-3.
Maddon, left, congratulated his team and said that while he was disappointed they wouldn't sweep, he would be content taking three of the four games in the series.
Maddon's wish came true when the Rays defeated Mike Aviles and the Red Sox 8-5 on Sept. 18 to cut the playoff lead to just two games.
The Red Sox got no relief in the opener of a doubleheader with the Orioles on Sept. 19. Ortiz slammed his helmet in frustration after a controversial call denied the Red Sox a run in a game they'd lose 6-5.
The Red Sox finally stopped their skid in the nightcap, however, when a seven-run seventh powered an 18-9 win. A grand slam by Conor Jackson, center, was the big hit in the inning.
Papelbon reflected in the dugout after he blew a 5-4 lead to the Orioles in a 7-5 loss on Sept. 20.
A dejected Alfredo Aceves lingered in the Red Sox dugout after surrendering a hit that delivered the go-ahead runs in a 6-4 loss to the Orioles on Sept. 21.
Ortiz slumped back to the dugout after grounding out in the seventh inning of a 9-1 loss to the Yankees on Sept. 24.
Jacoby Ellsbury, left, Jason Varitek, center, and Pedroia watched as the Yankees ran away with the opener of a doubleheader on Sept. 25. The Red Sox lost 6-2.
Ellsbury stopped the Red Sox' losing streak with a three-run home run in the 14th inning of the nightcap on Sept. 25. The win left the Red Sox just one game up on the Rays in the wild-card race.
The Red Sox' lead in the playoff race evaporated when they headed back to the visitors' dugout at Camden Yards after a 6-3 loss to the Orioles on Sept. 26. The Rays' corresponding win against the Yankees brought them into a tie for the wild card.
Rookie catcher Ryan Lavarnway finally injected life into the Red Sox with two home runs and a crucial ninth-inning defensive play as the Red Sox hung on for an 8-7 win on Sept. 27.
Mike Aviles watched as the Orioles celebrated dooming the Red Sox' postseason hopes with a walkoff 4-3 win in the regular-season finale on Sept. 28.

Today's Red Leaf Tea Special
Thank you everyone for helping me with the final version of the product.
Caramel MATCHAccino is officially available now and to start the sale right we offer 40% OFF. Sale price ends Sunday midnight so don't miss it.
Do you know what the ingredients are? I'm allergic to coffee but would so love to have a tasty alternative!! also, how much sugar is there in the low sugar version? I'm planning to share with my partially diabetic aunt, with a red base :)
While I can not give away to amounts used in the recipe, I can centrally tell you the ingredients (copy will be shown on back label as well):
Cane Sugar, Matcha Green Tea, Xanthan Gum, Tapioca Dextrose, and Natural Flavor. All ingredients are natural.
The low sugar version is a blend of sugar and Stevia, so while it has less calories, it will be sweeter, since Stevia is sweeter than sugar itself.
In comparison to competition, our product has less sugar and more matcha. Unfortunately that drove the price up a bit. But this way the drink is not too sweet and if someone likes it sweeter they can always add some sugar.
Hope that helps.
can't PM you so just a quick note that there's a spelling mistake in the x-tra large size "crazy" so that you can fix that right away :)
Also…is it possible for us to know which # of the sampler you landed on? I think it was #3 but now i can't seem to find where i thought i'd seen that.
and i'm excited about this! yay!
That sounds amazing!! Would it be suitable for someone who can't have more than one teaspoon of white sugar per day?
Also, I was hoping to have half my packets at crazy level flavour, and half at distinctive, if that is possible. No worries if you can't!
ohh that's tempting! I'm wondering which set up gets you #3 – that one was really good!
what other flavors are planned?
Sil: Thank you for pointing out the mistake. I just got it fixed. Let me know if you see any more :-)
Indigobloom: "crazy for matcha" level points to amount of matcha in the mix, Distinctive points to amount of caramel flavor in the mix. Not sure id I understand you correctly, but I can not split Large size (16oz) into smaller and different portions. Sorry.
Awkward Soul: The sample you received had the lowest amount of flavor and matcha. Each sample was different. Different thickening agent, matcha quality, and sugar. Only the amount of flavor was the same. When I asked in survey about the flavor difference between samples, I knew the amount was the same, but the flavor changes depending on other igredients in the mix. The final version is actually mix between sample #3 and sample #4. I took the parts you liked from sample #3 and parts you liked from sample#4, hoping to bring the best of the 2 of them since they seemed to be the most popular choices.
Other flavors: Any flavor that is available for flavored matcha will be available for MATCHAccino. The way it will be set up is like newly changed Buy3+1Free matcha deal where you type in the requested flavor. You can find the full list of available flavors here:
Way over 100 flavors. You can find there some that are not listed as single matcha products like Strawberry&Cream, but since I already have them in stock, they can be added to Matcha or MATCHAccino products. I will have a listing next week where you can enter your own flavor from the list and later one there will be Buy3+1Free deal made as well.
Purchased mine :)
Just got a package back from Post Office that was shipped to one of my customers (France G) in January!!! Not sure why it was returned and why it took this long… It was already presumed to be MIA.
I guess it's one of the mysteries in life.
I will bet you that when I retire in like 20-30 years, I'll be still getting missing orders from around the world coming back to me LOL
New 3 Matcha teas:
Strawberries & Cream Matcha
Bananas & Cream Matcha
Mandarin Matcha
30% OFF today and tomorrow only. :-)
1. I have just added a new Custom Flavor MATCHAccino. You can type in any flavor from our list that you want to be mixed in.
2. All MATCHAccino products are at additional 10%OFF.
3. As another way of promoting MATCHAccino, until Friday we offer FREE SHIPPING on any Large size or sizes to USA and …that's right Canada.
FREE SHIPPING to Canada but only on Large size Matchaccino, no matter what flavors. Please do not add any other products or this promo will not work.
Nooooo :(( This is what I've been waiting for… Arrrgggg. Bad timing, I'm right between addresses not sure where to send it to. Hmmmmm work address????
Oooh this is so tempting! Not sure if I should do it with caramel, or another flavor. Free shipping makes this so hard to resist
Mocha or Tiramisu?… that would be my dilemma, and I would get pumpkin pie, but that's just me. All the reviews say that the caramel is amazing….
Dexter – I might just stick with the Caramel as I know I'll like it and I can really only afford to buy one large package (right now).
If I were you I'd just get it delivered to work, but I guess that depends on where you work.
This may be a silly question, but does matchaccino have coffee in it?
Nope :) it mixes up to be a frothy creamy matcha latte sort of drink :)
Red Leaf, can gift certificates be used for the lg matcha? I guess not if it is 10% off so I just answered my own question. That's probably why it's 10% off actually!
ooh! Now I MAY have to order some! :-)
Fuzzy_Peachkin: There is no coffee in it, but we can make coffee flavored MATCHAccino if you wish :-)
whatshesaid: you guessed it right. I could not offer the free shipping and 50%OFF for reviewer. Sorry.
Chelle: Flavored Matcha has green tea powder and some flavor. It can be used with milk and water and it's totally unsweetened, in case you are watching the calories intake.
Flavored MATCHAccino has more ingredients including some sugar and the ratio of those ingredients is different. Even though it can be mixed with water, it's mostly designed to be made as frappe with a consistency of a shake.
OK I broke down and took advantage of this great deal. Ordered the large package of Tiramisu and Pumpkin Pie. Really excited. Crossing fingers that Customs doesn't decide to delay it for weeks. As long as they are efficient, I should be ok.
I just ordered the large caramel! With the amount of steepsters raving about the caramel I can't go wrong.
dexter – it's usually an 8-10 trip from red leaf to toronto pretty consistently. the longest i've ever had to wait was 11? and the shortest was 7.
Thanks Sil. I should be ok at 10-12 days, you just never know. I'm sure Red Leaf will be quick with the shipping. I've just had stuff, in the past, held at customs for several days for no apparent reason. :)) This is IT!! I'm not ordering anything else until I'm settled in the new place.
I went to order but it was still charging me $11.95 for shipping. Am I supposed to enter a coupon, or does the shipping get refunded after you verify I only added the large matchacinno?
I just put it in my cart and I got a notice up in the corner of the screen that says "congratulations you've been given the following promotion: MATCHAccino FREE shipping. I didn't enter a promo code or anything.
There is no code needed to get this promo. If you have any problems please email me your name to [email protected] so that I can check for possible problems.
I have found the problem and it's fixed now. Unfortunately with the extra 10% discount some customers were still charged shipping. Sorry for that. Please not that all that have paid for the shipping, that fee will be refunded to you today yet.
Has anyone used Woobox? I need some help creating coupons for Facebook and have no idea how to do it.
Testers needed.
I have 3 samples of matcha green tea. 60g each. If you are interested in testing it, please visit this page (not available to general public)
Thank you.
*yes, it's 60g. It's not a very high end, even though one of them has a lot of potential. I may consider one of them as base to matchaccino product to bring the cost down a bit, as well as to sell it as unflavored.The matchas offered are unflavored.
There was a problem with database but it's all working now. Testers are still needed :-)
Do you have a link to a special form for reviews or do you want us to just put our notes in an email to you?
James R:
yes, it was 180g total. unfortunately this offer is not available any more.
No special link this time. Just judge by the color, flavor and bitterness is there is any. You can use scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being best. Thanks for asking, I forgot about that :-)
I just had it in my cart.. Was ready to checkout now it's gone? Any way to get one last one, the link was valid 15 minutes ago
Sent you a review via your "Contact Us" feature on your website! Nice! When do we get to tell each other which ones we liked best? :)
James R: I'm sorry, but I do not have any more samples available. Do not worry, I have new tasting every couple of months since I get many samples of matcha from new suppliers trying to get my business.
Ashmanara: Got your review, send you reply as well.
You can post your reviews here as well for others to see so that you can compare notes if you wish. Your review was very nice, and got me all the info I needed, except one (which I forgot to add) so here it is:
Value for the $$$.
Sample C is 4x more expensive as Sample B and
Sample C is 2x more expensive as Sample A.
Normally I do not want to show which one is more expensive so that you do not think that one should be better than another one, but I also wanted to find out what you think about getting the best deal for the $$$. :-)
Well, my favorite was Sample C, by a long shot! And I emailed my notes before the big reveal of the cost! It was good whisked in hot water and in a cold latte. Smooth, vegetal with a taste of green beans, and so sweet as a latte I was glad I had carefully measured my sugar so I know it was sweetness in the matcha.
Our biggest sale for Caramel Matchaccino yet – 50% OFF.
Sale ends today.
Could you tell me what's in the matchaccino besides flavored matcha? Specifically, is it dairy-free?
Below are all the ingredients:
Cane Sugar
Matcha Green Tea
Xanthan Gum (natural thickening agent)
Flavor + Tapioca Dextrose (to keep flavor in powdered form)
All natural. No dairy. :-)
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you!
Ugh, I wish I could've bought some. Moving this friday and cant afford to take up anymore box space :(
Do the review gift certificates only work on non-sale items?
Trying to apply it to a large upgrade caramel matchaccino and when I enter the code
it applied $0 to the order.

Physical therapist assistants record patients progress and report the results of each treatment to the physical therapist. Physical therapist assistants and physical therapist aides work under the direction and supervision of physical therapists. They help patients who are recovering from injuries and illnesses regain movement and manage pain.
Physical therapist assistants are involved in the direct care of patients, while physical therapist aides often do tasks that are indirectly related to patient care, such as keeping the treatment area clean and organized, and preparing for each patient. They also help patients who need assistance moving to or from a treatment area. In addition, aides do a variety of clerical tasks, such as ordering supplies, scheduling treatment sessions, and filling out insurance forms. Beyond major requirements within the occupational therapy department, you may consider Henry Ford Community College construction materials as a complementary elective.

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
JOHANNESBURG. 13 November 2013. South African Airways (SAA) today announced that in keeping with the Strategic Objectives of its Long-term Turnaround Strategy, Gaining Altitude, the airline remains focused on maintaining a commercially sustainable African route network.
The airline will therefore re-align available aircraft thereby strengthening some of its key African destinations.
"These plans are captured in our African Expansion Strategy where we aim to increase frequencies on routes with higher passenger volumes with the achievement and maintenance of commercial sustainability our ultimate aim," says Kendy Phohleli, SAA General Manager: Commercial (Acting).
Frequencies which will be increased are as follows:
- Effective 10 December 2013 flights between Johannesburg and Kinshasa (DRC) are to be increased from 4 to 6 per week
- Effective 13 December 2013 the flights between Johannesburg and Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania) will be increased from 12 to 13 per week
- Effective 12 January next year flights between Johannesburg and Windhoek (Namibia) will increase from 20 to 21 per week
- Effective 13 January flights between Johannesburg and Ndola (Zambia) will increase from 19 to 20 per week
- Effective 14 January 2014 flights between Johannesburg and Lusaka (Zambia) will increase from 19 to 20 per week
Further to these new developments, SAA customers travelling on some regional routes into Africa, such as Mauritius and Nairobi can experience the airline's brand new Airbus A320 aircraft. SAA has taken delivery of two new A320s, which forms part of a 20 new-aircraft order. These aircraft are configured with 24 Business Class and 114 Economy Class seats.
The Business Class section is particularly attractive and offer super comfort with ample leg room with a pitch of 39 inches. Seats are arranged with two either side of the aisle (four abreast) offering more seat width. All the seats (except for the first row) have an innovative feature: the back shell has space to stow a PC tablet, with a USB power-point to keep the tablet powered during flight, and PC power points in the centre console.
Seating in Economy Class offers a pitch of 31 inches, with shared USB and PC power points and an adjustable headrest. Customers will enjoy a greater sense of 'living space' that the slim-line seats offer, which have been upholstered in easy to maintain leather. Colours used are dark beige and anthracite grey with touches of red and blue from the SAA corporate colours.
Other changes to the African route network is that SAA will effective 7 December 2013, no longer operate its own aircraft between Johannesburg to Bujumbura and Kigali, but will service this market through its recently announced code share partner RwandAir.
Customers already holding ticketed reservations on SAA direct services between Johannesburg, Bujumbura and Kigali from the 8th of December 2013 onwards, will be re-accommodated via SAA's airline partners in line with the IATA conditions of carriage.

Pearson Education has taken another step toward fulfilling its pledge to retain 900 jobs in New Jersey, as the textbook publisher broke ground today on the development of its future corporate headquarters in downtown Hoboken.
Though the publisher had originally planned to move its current operations in Upper Saddle River and Old Tappan to New York, the state Economic Development Authority in September 2011 approved an Urban Transit Hub tax credit for Pearson of up to $66 million over 10 years for the publisher to relocate hundreds of jobs within New Jersey — which the company formally committed to execute during its ceremonial lease signing near the Hoboken site in February.
Will Ethridge, CEO of Pearson North America, said in a statement the company chose to relocate to downtown Hoboken because "the leadership of Pearson and Hoboken share a passion for innovation, and we believe that this community is precisely the type of vibrant, stimulating center for media, technology and digital services for businesses like ours."
In prepared remarks, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno said today's groundbreaking "demonstrates that New Jersey's highly skilled labor force and vibrant city centers are continuing to attract significant investment to the benefit of the entire state."
Before Pearson retains 900 jobs in a move to its new corporate headquarters in July 2014, Jeff Schotz, executive vice president of leasing and marketing for the site's owner, SJP Properties, said the project will generate 600 construction jobs.
The 500,000-square-foot mixed-use building is the final piece of Hoboken's 26-acre waterfront master plan and the last phase of SJP's three-building office and retail development that first broke ground more than a decade ago.
Following the $150 million Waterfront Corporate Center III project's completion in June 2014, Pearson plans to occupy five floors of the 14-story office tower.
Though SJP has seen increasing demand for office leases from the financial services and publication industries in Hoboken, Schotz said the firm has not yet secured tenants for the remaining 25,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 275,000 square feet of office space in the building.
However, Schotz said Waterfront Corporate Center I and II were "both fully leased before their completion in June 2002 and June 2003, respectively — and we have every hope and belief we will have the same success for this third and final project."


text: Catechisms for Children and Young Adults The word "catechism" is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning a "document or text which summarizes and explains doctrine." It is traditionally used for teaching and reference. The Catechism of the Catholic Church summarizes and explains the doctrine of the Catholic Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that "Catechesis is an education in the faith of children, young people, and adults which includes especially the teaching of Christian doctrine imparted, generally speaking, in an organic and systematic way, with a view to initiating the hearers into the fullness of Christian life." Since the adult generation of the Catholic Church has a duty and obligation to catechize – teach the Faith to – children properly so that they may carry forth throughout their own lives, it is only fitting that there are many Catholic catechisms available for children of every age. Baltimore Catechism The Baltimore Catechism is likely the most familiar children's catechism to many Catholics. Many adult Catholics remember studying the Baltimore Catechism as children. There are two distinct sets or series bearing the name of Baltimore Catechism: the original Baltimore Catechism and the New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism. The Original Baltimore Catechism – The Baltimore Catechism was first published in the late 1800s. The books simply titled "Baltimore Catechism" are reprints of the books available in the 1800s. They are divided into topics or "lessons" in a simple, straightforward question and answer format. A selection of basic, core Catholic prayers is also included. There are three books: the Baltimore Catechism Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3. No. 1 is a simplified version intended for grades 4-7, No. 2 is the main edition and is intended for grades 6-9, and No. 3 is an expanded edition intended for grades 10-12. The New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism – This series was based on the original Baltimore Catechisms and was written in the 1960s. The subject matter is the same, however it is presented along with explanations in updated language and a different format to create a strong teaching tool. The questions and answers of the Baltimore Catechism are still used, however they are presented along with explanations in more modern language, a relevant Scripture passage, and questions to answer and discuss to help the child apply the teachings. There are 3 books within this line as well; however, the numbering system is different. The New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism No. 0 (also called the First Communion Catechism) is for 1st and 2nd grade, No. 1 is for grades 3-5, and No. 2 is for grades 6-9. New American Catechism The St. Joseph New American Catechism is similar in form to the New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism, combining questions and answers about Catholic doctrine with Bible verses, and questions to answer and discuss. However the "Q and A" portions are not based only on the Baltimore Catechism of the late 1800s but also on the "Basic Teachings for Catholic Religious Education" from 1973. In this line No. 0 is again directed at students at the 1st to 2nd grade level, No. 1 is for grades 3-5, No. 2 is for grades 6-8 and No. 3 is for grades 9-12 and beyond. Illustrated Catechisms Aquinas and More is also pleased to carry a selection of illustrated catechisms, ideal for introducing children to the catechism. Some can be used even before children are ready to study books like the Baltimore Catechisms, and can also be used to supplement and encourage interest once they do reach that stage of study. The Illustrated Catechism for Little Children and My First Catechism are ideal first catechisms for children. Both use the question and answer format but are simplified – a great introduction to studying the faith – and include rich illustrations. The book An Illustrated Catechism is a resource that does not use the question and answer format but direct, easy-to-grasp explanations paired with vividly colored pictures. Mother Mary, a Marian Catechism Mother Mary is a specialized Marian Catechism. It is directed towards teaching the sometimes difficult to understand Marian doctrines in a way that is accessible and engaging to children. It is full of bright colors and images and is very discussion- and activity-driven to engage a child in studying thoroughly. St. Patrick's Summer: A Children's Adventure Catechism St. Patrick's Summer: A Children's Adventure Catechism is an innovate catechism. It is written in a story/novel format and teaches about the history of the Faith, from the Old Testament through the New Testament of the Bible. Teen Catechisms As mentioned above, the Baltimore Catechism No. 3 and the St. Joseph New American Catechism No. 3 are both intended for high school use. Also available is Fr. McBride's Teen Catechism, which is based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Depending on the teen's age and what he or she has already studied of the Catechism, he or she may also be interested in the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set.
Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player's actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player's "real" autograph.
Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets.
Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers.
Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement.
1959 Fleer Ted WilliamsTed Williams was one of the greatest hitters ever to play the game ! The 'Splendid Splinter' played from 1939-1942 and 1946-1960 all with the Boston Red Sox. He missed 1943 thru 1945 due to military duty when he was a pilot during the wars. For his career he hit .344 with 521 home runs. Ted Williams was one of the biggest stars baseball has ever seen, and his baseball cards remain very popular and valuable.
Ted's rookie card was in 1950 Bowman and he was exclusive with Bowman from 1950 thru 1954. In 1954 he also allowed Topps to make his cards which they did from 1954 thru 1958.
In 1959 Fleer signed Ted Williams away from Topps and assumed the star Ted Williams would be retiring, put out an entire 80-card set of cards highlighting Ted Williams and illustrating his life both in and out of baseball. Williams decided late in the fall to resign for another year perhaps damaging the sets impact. Today these cards remain extremely popular with most of the cards in teh set still quite affordable.
There is one very rare card in this set, #68 picturing Ted with Bucky Harris.
UNFORTUNATELY Topps had Bucky Harris under exclusive contract and
Fleer had to quickly halt production of this card making it a significant
SHORT PRINT. Only a few made it out to the public. This card is quite rare,
hardly ever seen and a plain old simple checklist making it the perfect
candidate for counterfeiting.
Other interesting cards are those that picture Ted with Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Sam Snead and Jim Thorpe. In addition, cards of Ted fishing or with his airplane are also very popular.

1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

- Does not come with cami.
- Made in USA with imported materials
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S.
Long Sleeve Sheer High Neck Sweater is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 1 out of 5 by MissUnderstood from Long sleeve sheer top This garment is not the normal quality garment that I have purchased from Bebe in the past. Even though it was on sale it is not worth what I paid for it. The top appeared to be inside out when removing from packaging. It looks like someone tried it on left it inside out and packaged it. The labels appear to be sewn attached to the outside of the top rather then the inside. The material does not look or feel like a lot of care was taken to produce it.
