Save Prime Burger, A Burger Shop With Real Character
Prime Burger
5 East 51st Street, New York NY 10022 (b/n Madison and 5th; map); 212-759 4730; primeburger.com
Cooking Method: Broiled
Short Order: Order correctly and you can get one of New York's great burgers in a unique setting.
Want Fries with That? No; they're not fresh or crisp.
Price: Hamburger, $5.25; cheeseburger, $5.95
Notes: Specify that you want your burger salted and made from scratch.
I walked into Prime Burger the other day around 1:30 p.m., and my heart sank. It was half-full. "This is not right," I thought to myself. We're talking about Prime Burger, the last remaining old-fashioned burger joint in New York City.
How old-fashioned? It's been around since 1938, when it was called Hamburg Heaven. Back then it was open 24 hours and it catered to movie stars and politicians. Its location across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral led its owners to proclaim on its menu, "The Gates of Heaven Never Close." Don't you love that? Hamburg Heaven's customers did too, but the good folks at St. Patrick's didn't, so the line was removed from the menu. Although it's no a 24 hour restaurant, it's still open for breakfast, when they serve a unique breakfast combination, the Breakfast Delight ($5.50): a burger, fried egg, and hot buttered toast.
But nostalgia is not the only reason we must all band together to make sure Prime Burger stays around at least another 70 years. If you order right you can also get one of the greatest classic, small, perfectly sized burgers to be had anywhere. But ordering right is key.
What's New On Serious Eats
Since taking over in 1965, Prime Burger's owners Michael and John DiMiceli (they're the ones taking money at the register in the front of the restaurant) still get a delivery of fresh 85/15 prime chopped beef every day from one of the city's best wholesale butchers, Master Purveyors. They still make their burgers in two classic huge salamander broilers—one in front of the restaurant, one in the kitchen.
So why the need to order right? Because to keep up with the fast food chains, the DiMicelis started par-broiling their burgers. Par-broiling produces a less juicy burger. So when you order at Prime Burger specify you want your burger ($5.25 for a hamburger, $5.95 for a cheeseburger) made from scratch, and that you're willing to wait the extra few minutes.
But that's not the end of your special ordering at Prime Burger. Ask your cheerful and efficient server still elegantly decked out in railroad porter-like white coats to tell the broiler man to salt your burger before he puts it in. Our server, Chester Hawkins, who has been working at Prime Burger for almost thirty years, relayed our request without complaint. The result: a juicy burger that tastes a lot like a Shake Shack burger. Salt, after all, is one of the Shake Shack burger's not-so-secret weapons.
When your burger comes you will want to put on a spoonful or two of the classic sweet red hamburger relish you will find in metal servers. It's not made in-house, but it's another only-at-Prime Burger aspect of eating here.
If you follow the above instructions you will certainly end up with one of New York's great burgers, served on a properly toasted hamburger bun.
Do not order the french fries, which are neither fresh nor crisp. The French Fried Onions ($4.50) are the way to go. It's a tangle of freshly battered and fried sweet onions. They also need salt, so it might be worth asking your server to ask the kitchen to salt the onions before putting them in the fryer.
A year ago I would have told you to have a piece of pie to complete your perfect lunch. But this past March Prime Burger pie baker Eddie Adams, who had been baking pies here for 63 years, retired at the age of 85. The DiMicelis tried without success to keep baking the pies in house—they never found anyone who could replicate Eddie's stunning achievements. Now what you find here are standard diner-like pies.
To make sure you are getting the full Prime Burger experience you must sit in one of the 24 seats with swing-out trays. The tray swings out so that you can climb into your seat. There is no other seat like it anywhere else as far as I know.
New York and the nation need iconic places like Prime Burger to survive—even thrive. They're part and parcel of our nation's cultural fabric.

Purpose of Lesson:
The purpose of this lesson is to apply learning on photosynthesis to a lab situation and give students a chance to work authentically through the scientific method.
Major Strategy to Watch for:
Conclusion writing - Writing to show evidence.
Learning Goal: Apply understanding of photosynthesis to a lab situation.
Opening Question: How will changing the amount of sunlight change the way photosynthesis works?
Students record their opening question on their learning goal sheet and are ready to start class 3 min after the bell has rung. I reward students who get started early with ROCK STAR SCIENTIST tickets.
Follow the links to learn more about the beginning of class strategies and ROCK STAR scientist tickets.
The purpose of this section is to introduce the problem to the lab and have students write the purpose and hypothesis.
I start this section by going back to the photosynthesis equation. I have students locate the products and reactants.
Then I ask students, "Ok let's say it is a cloudy day. How is that going to change the equation? How will it change the reactants? How will it change the products? What if it is a sunny day what will happen?
Once we've had this discussion I tell the students we are going to do a lab today to answer that question. However, it is very difficult to tell how much sugar the plant has made because it stores it. That's why in this experiment we are going to measure the amount of oxygen produced.
Here's the question we are going to answer today, "How will changing the amount of light effect the amount of oxygen produced?"
Once students have the question they write the title, purpose, and hypothesis of the lab.
The purpose of this section is to explain the Virtual Experiment Photosynthesis website and the procedure to the students.
Once they are done with the beginning aspects of the lab report, I display the simulation on my screen. I show them how they can move the light forward from 200 cm to 100 cm. They look at how distance changes the amount of light on the plant. I then show them how to go into the simulation and record and read the bubble count. Then we write the procedure.
Data Table: Bubbles per minute
Distance from light (cm)
Count (bubbles/min)
At this point students are ready to log into their computers and do the lab.
The purpose of this section is to do the lab and analyze the results.
When students have their title, purpose, hypothesis, and procedure done they are ready to do the lab. Students now go to the Photosynthesis Virtual Lab and I walk around and help them with the controls of the simulation. Then I let the students work and explore. Here is a video of a student explaining the lab.
Depending on how much time is left in the class, I sometimes do a graph of this data. Students have not really graphed yet this year so I do the graph and have them make one with me. In a couple of units, students will be making a variety of different graphs and so this is a good introduction. Also, the data tends to make a really nice graph!
Now that the students are done with their experiment, it is time to communicate the answer. I do a short mini lesson here on Writing to Demonstrate. (This is the partner to the strategy they learned earlier - Writing to Learn). These two anchor charts stay on my wall all year so that students can always ground their writing in the purpose.
I tell the students that in this case, we are going to use a very scripted form of writing. That is because in lab reports it is the data and precision that are important. In my lab reports I have the students use a three sentence conclusion. An anchor chart for this also goes on the wall for easy access.
In this lab I found.........
I know this because.......
This makes sense because.......
Over the years I have tried different forms of conclusions, longer, more in depth, and I've just found the most success with these three sentences. In my opinion, it is enough writing to get the evidence and thinking across and not enough that it frightens my reluctant writers.
I ask the students to use these three sentence starters to write their conclusions. Since this is the first conclusion we have written I will read aloud the sentence starter and then give different options of how to finish it. It is important to tell the students over and over that they need to give actual data, otherwise they will consistently write-"I know this because of the data." This is an absolute no- no in my class because it shows little thinking and understanding.
Closing Statement: "Today we applied out learning to a lab situation. Tomorrow we will be using our knowledge to make videos about photosynthesis."
Closing Question: "Do you think plants photosynthesize at night? Why or why not."
Closure depends greatly on timing and is not as easy to plan in advance as opening. You can find more information about how I manage closure here.

(To be read in deep, movie-trailer-guy voice.)
In the small town of Hollywood, bad reputations (cue gratuitous woman extending panty-hosed leg) and bad movies go hand in hand.
(Cue ominous music.)
But what do you do when a movie is so bad (cue overaggressive screaming woman), so under-budget (cue detective lifting his monocle), and so balls-to-the-wall cheesy (cue random gunfire) that it stops being good, and starts becoming...bad-good.
Starring poor metaphors, obvious double entendres, and actors who create suspense by telling you to be suspenseful ("Watch out! We're approaching Dr. Blood's dangerous lair, where anything can happen!"), you'll be on the edge of your seat, right up until the phone rings and you have to go answer it... it's the Five Worst B-Movie Trailers!
Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2
Plot: A Christmas enthusiast is scarred for life when Santa kills his father and rapes his mother. Forced to enter an orphanage, he is subjected to cruel punishment for being a naughty boy. Now the naughty boy has grown into a naughty man, and he's back just in time for Christmas. And let's just say he's checked his list twice, and you don't want to be on the receiving end of his yuletide greetings.
Signature moment: "Garbage day! Ha ha ha."
Comparable A-list movie: The Ref. A totally underrated movie where Denis Leary breaks into a family's home on Christmas, and now must escape authorities by pretending he's one of them! It's not as heartwarming as Silent Night, Deadly Night, but you get the gist.
Car Wash
Plot: A cinematic version of the 1976 disco hit by the same name, it's a day in the life of a crew of car washers. And if you thought working at a car wash might be boring, well, you'd be right. The sequel (Dump Truck) didn't do too well, either. But man that's a catchy song!
Signature moment: "The movie that will empty your ashtray [ed. note: WTF?], fill your tank, and hot wax you from butt bumper to rear end." Sexy!
Comparable A-list movie: Tyler Perry's Car Wash (soon to be released).
Plot: Out of competent agents, the CIA turns to the world gymnastics circuit for fresh talent. Kurt Thomas (not the overpaid NBA salary cap drain) is asked to go on a top-secret mission in Parmistan (where terrorists make evil Italian cheese) to compete in a decathlon -- with deadly implications.
Signature moment: "When gymnastics and karate are fused, the combustion becomes an explosion."
Comparable A-list movie: Bloodsport. Van Damme even does all the splits, just like a real fruity acrobat. And at least Bloodsport takes place in a real country.
The Thing with Two Heads
Plot: A racist millionaire is slowly dying, and the only way to save him is to transplant his head onto another body. (Of course.) With his health deteriorating fast, doctors are forced to go with the only available candidate -- a black ex-con.
Signature moment: Any time the heads talk to each other. It's as delicious as a black and white cookie.
Comparable A-list movie: Lethal Weapon. Sure, they weren't actually stuck together. But their loyalty bound them to one another through thick and thin.
Troll 2
Plot: Without narration, you're forced to go entirely off the action (which is intense!). It seems an innocent family has taken a rural getaway. The only problem is that the lovely forest is full of evil, flesh-eating trolls. Only the son knows what's happening, but I'm going to guess his mother doesn't believe him until it's too late -- and they've all turned into trees.
Signature moment: "They're eating her. And then they're going to eat me!"
Comparable A-list movie: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Lighter on the gore, for sure, but the trolls are more well-rounded characters. You really understand why they're so grumpy and cantankerous.

This is a simple and extremely popular dish - some people say that this, in fact, is the real Greek national dish! It's very easy to prepare, the only time-consuming part is soaking the beans overnight. nd it's tasty and nutritious, ideally eaten with fresh bread and olives.
½ kg haricot beans
1 large onion grated
2 carrots diced
1 tablespoons roughly chopped celery leaves
1 red hot chilli pepper
½ tablespoon tomato paste
150 ml slightly concentrated tomato juice
150 ml olive oil
Salt and pepper
Soak the beans overnight.
The next day put the beans in a deep pan with enough water to cover them.
Boil them, but before they come to the boil remove with a wooden spoon the froth that comes up to the surface.
After they come to the boil simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the beans and drain them in a colander.
Put them back in the pan and add enough boiled water to cover them. (about 2 fingers above the surface of the beans)
Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 hour or more – until the beans are tender.
If you've tried this recipe please rate it!

If an information such as rank isn't given in the article, it's because it wasn't provided in any official source. It's pointless to ask such questions in talk pages. Technique ranks most often come from databooks. In fact, the only technique I recall being given a rank as a character mentioned it in the manga was Rasengan. Character ranks are also most often given through databooks, though some of them are also given in the manga. For example, we know C and Darui are jōnin because Suigetsu mentions them as such during the Kage Summit. As Ilnarutoanime mentioned in the section above this one, sign your posts in talk pages. Drop the "!!!!!!!!!!!!" and "?????????????" in talk pages, it's not useful, and it looks ugly. It's not proper talk page decorum. When you ask something, do it in a single talk page. Today you asked in the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique talk page the same thing you asked in the S-rank talk page. Don't. You also don't need to do such a detailed description of what you're asking. People know what the techniques you mentioned are, and who their users are.

Fluffy, creamy and full of fragrant herbs, these brown sugar sweet potatoes are a perfect side dish for your holiday table!
To me, you can't talk comfort food without mentioning smooth, buttery mashed potatoes. We all have our favorites, and mine are made light and creamy, and also with a bit of asiago and broccoli. But, since I make mashed sweet potatoes often these days, I thought it about time to share my favorite recipe!
Sweet potatoes are very high in calcium and vitamin C, along with being great for skin, so they're both a delicious and nutritious side dish! My twist on Sargento's sweet potato puree includes fragrant dried sage and a bit of sweet brown sugar. I had to keep 'em creamy by using their mozzarella and provolone cheese, though!
I hope all of you who celebrate it have a very Merry Christmas! I'm taking off the next five days to enjoy my family, friends, and lots of good food and fun in Chicago! But, I'll be back on Friday, December 28, with an easy, cheesy party dip for your New Year festivities!

Brown Sugar & Herb Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Yield: Makes about 3 cups (5-6 servings)
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 clove garlic, minced
1 heaping teaspoon dried sage, thyme or rosemary
1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup (3 oz.) Sargento® Artisan Blends Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
In a large saucepan over high heat, add sweet potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot, away from heat. Add butter, garlic, dried herb of choice, brown sugar, and heavy cream.
With a hand mixer or potato masher, beat mixture until smooth and creamy. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Serve warm.

I'm planning to go to Hillsboro on Wednesday. As it's about a 3-hour round trip, I don't get down there as often as I'd like. So I need to plan ahead to make the most out of the trip!
Part 1: Search the microfilm of the Hillsboro City Library's various Hill County newspapers for Dr. Kennedy's obit(s) from 1897, his wife Susan's obit from 1918, some mention of granddaughter Hallah M Carrico's death in 1897. Also, get better copies of Miles Francis & Trilla Maryland Stanley's obits. Maybe find something about Chester Kennedy, also. He's another one who just seems to have fallen off the planet!
Part 2: Look for info on my RAOGK request from September. Try to find the cemetery for Jabez Ivey and his mother. This request was from Sept and I have never made it down there. First there was Dad's surgery, then my boss being gone on maternity leave. Excuses, excuses! Basically I just didn't feel like going down there! I know the guy who requested the info is not happy with me. I must try to make amends!
What to take with me: laptop, digital camera, camera cable, paper, pencils.
Charge the camera's battery and download all the current pictures, so there will be plenty of room. Download any images taken in the library to the computer while I'm still in the library. I want these pix to turn out right this time!

Holidays are all about tradition and especially food traditions and, to me, Thanksgiving is the best of all. There are foods at the table on Thanksgiving that we may only get once or twice a year, making them special dishes to really look forward to. Even at the Kelly house we are trying make our tried and true recipes a little healthier. If you are trying to incorporate your favorite vegetables into some new and interesting (and even a little healthier) recipes, you may want to give these a try.
Sweet Potato Spoon Bread
(Although it may not sound appetizing, you can also add spinach for additional vitamin power)
1 pound sweet potatoes
2 1/4 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons mild honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Scant 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 large egg whites, at room temperature
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. With a fork, pierce the sweet potatoes all over and set them directly on the oven rack. Bake the sweet potatoes for 1 hour, or until they are tender; let cool slightly. Slit the skins and scoop the potatoes into a large bowl. Mash until smooth. You should have 1 1/4 cups of mashed sweet potatoes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
Meanwhile, lightly butter a shallow 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish and dust it with cornmeal, tapping out any excess. In another large bowl, whisk the cornmeal with the sugar, salt and baking soda. Melt the butter in the boiling water, then stir the butter-and-water mixture into the dry ingredients. Let cool slightly.
Using an electric mixer, beat the buttermilk, honey, cumin, white pepper, cloves and cayenne into the mashed sweet potatoes until combined. At medium speed, beat in the cornmeal mixture.
In a clean stainless steel bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold the beaten egg whites into the sweet-potato mixture until no white streaks remain. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden and risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve the sweet potato spoon bread warm or at room temperature.

Storied history: Clifton a gift from TJ
Long before it made headlines with the profound tragedy of last week's fire, Clifton had earned worldwide accolades for its hospitality. The property's storied history, however, goes back to Thomas Jefferson.
When his 17-year-old daughter, Martha– "Patsy" as Jefferson called her– married the son of his best friend in February 1790, the future president bestowed 1,000 acres on the young couple.
Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. and Patsy began their family of eight children on that farm, called Edgehill.
In addition to the land, Jefferson gave the young couple 25 slaves who planted the fields with tobacco.
Jefferson's son-in-law made a name for himself by advocating "contour" or "horizontal" plowing to lessen the chance of erosion, according to "Thomas Mann Randolph: Piedmont Plowman," a 1951 article in the Magazine of Albemarle County History. According to author William Gaines Jr., Randolph was probably taking a cue from Jethro Tull, the British agronomist and inventor whose landmark 1733 volume, Horse-Hoeing Husbandry, revolutionized agriculture.
With all that tobacco, Randolph needed a warehouse. According to the National Register of Historic Places, the original single-story building that came to be known as Clifton began its life early in the 19th century as a warehouse in what Randolph hoped would become a thriving port called North Milton. From the Register:
"Randolph and several partners planned the town adjacent to the Milton Canal to support the agricultural and commercial development occurring in the area and to compete with the then-prosperous but now extinct community of Milton across the Rivanna River."
The Register says the warehouse eventually became the Randolph residence. The eight children, however, left with their mother to live at Monticello, hilltop home of the by-then retired president.
Like his famously insolvent father-in-law, Randolph racked up extensive debts. He lost Clifton and the rest of his farm to a debtor's auction in 1826, according to Thomas Jefferson: A Life by Willard Sterne Randall.
History took another turn in the Civil War when, according to the Clifton Inn's website, John Singleton Mosby– the former UVA student who became the "Grey Ghost" of the Confederacy– delivered supplies to a secret hiding place on the Clifton property to avoid Union troops lurking near the house.
Old newspaper clippings suggest that in the 1920s, as the Colonial Revival architectural craze was sweeping the nation, the building was expanded and renovated in that style.
It remained a house until 1985 when it was converted to the inn, followed by the restaurant, which opened in 1991.
Owner Mitch Willey, a UVA law grad, based in Alexandria, could not be reached for comment, but his marketing director, Veronica Uhryniak, says Clifton is part of Time and Place Homes, an assemblage of upscale accommodations in such places as Paris, Palm Springs, and Nantucket.
"Mitch does certainly plan to rebuild," says Uhryniak, "but the timeline is too early to know."

President Clinton offered us a perceptive analysis of Saudi Arabia, contending that fundamentally friendly rulers have been constrained by their desire to preserve the status quo. He, like others, made the case for pragmatic reform instead. There are signs that Saudi Arabia�s royal family is trying to build a consensus for political reform, though uncertain about how fast and how far to go.
Crown Prince Abdullah wants the Kingdom to join the World Trade Organization to accelerate economic liberalization. He has embraced the Arab Human Development Report,
which was highly critical of the Arab world�s political, economic, and social failings and called for greater economic and political reform. Cooperation with Saudi Arabia against Islamist terrorism is very much in the U.S. interest. Such cooperation can exist for a time largely in secret, as it does now, but it cannot grow and thrive there. Nor, on either side, can friendship be unconditional.
Recommendation: The problems in the U.S. -Saudi relationship must be confronted, openly. The United States and Saudi Arabia must determine if they can build a relationship that political leaders on both sides are prepared to publicly defend�a relationship about more than oil. It should include a shared commitment to political and economic reform, as Saudis make common cause with the outside world. It should include a shared interest in greater tolerance and cultural respect, translating into a commitment to fight the violent extremists who foment hatred.

Akoya and a Slip Top
Two things I've been working on!
Akoya. FINALLY STARTED THIS SUCKER. Smooth sailing so far and it's working up quickly.
I'm using the Rowan Felted Tweed I picked up at Liberty a few months ago and it's great to work with. My only worry is that it will pill like crazy with all the loose fibers.
Slip top. I started it today and will have it finished by tomorrow. I put a pleat under the bust for picture purposes but the finished top will have gathers there. A solid black will cover the torso + tummy and end at the hip.
I hope those who celebrate will have a happy happy Halloween! I don't participate in this Holiday (yeah, I'm the person that turns their lights off and pretends no one's home) so will most likely be knitting with a Tim Burton movie in the background. 🙂

Transition to Middle School
By Peter Lorain, retired high school teacher and middle school principal, Beaverton, Oregon
A key indicator of a successful middle school experience is a positive transition from elementary school. Unfortunately, positive anything is difficult for soon-to-be middle school students, if all they can think about is:
"Will there really be that much more homework?"
"What if I can't find the bathroom in that big school?"
"Will I be able to open my locker?"
"Do the big kids beat you up?"
"Do they really give swirlies?"
These questions and more pour through the minds of incoming middle school students the summer before school begins. They are the cause for many sleepless nights and a summer of anxiety and anticipation. (Notice there is no mention of academics or learning.)
What Can Schools Do?
Most schools provide some sort of transition program for students in their final year of elementary school consisting of a parent/student night, followed by a tour of the school for students sometime in the spring. These are excellent activities, but only two activities in an overall transition plan. Plus, they do not address the questions and anxieties these students have.
In a series of student focus groups I conducted with sixth grade students in the middle schools, I was surprised to find out that they formed most of their impressions from what elementary school teachers and older siblings and neighbors said. Their elementary school teachers made such comments as:
"You better learn this now because next year your middle school teachers will expect you to know it."
"You better do your homework this year because next year you'll have so much that if you don't know how to study, you'll fail."
"Go ahead and act that way now if you have to, but next year the teachers will not put up with it."
Older neighbors and brothers and sisters (usually brothers) said in fun (as part of some rite of passage) things like:
"Wait till next year. You'll love the swirlies. They put your head in the toilet and flush!"
"Next year when you little sixth graders walk down those crowded halls, the eighth graders will just push you out of the way."
"Next year you'll have teachers that are really mean and won't put up with your baby stuff."
You get the picture.
While none of the feared events and conditions actually take place, or at least rarely do, it's important for the schools to have a comprehensive "Transition to Middle School" program to help incoming middle school students be positive and look forward to the coming year. A comprehensive program includes:
- Helping students form a realistic expectation of what middle school will be like
- Providing a positive and successful first impression
- Insuring a successful introduction to the middle school experience
Parents, too, have concerns and questions about their children's transition from elementary to middle school, so any transition program must include the extensive participation of parents.
Create a Program That Involves All the Stakeholders
A well-planned, systematic transition program involves all the stakeholders: students, school personnel, and parents. Here are some things to consider:
- Incoming middle school students should be involved in a variety of activities preparing them for middle school. They should have the opportunity to meet middle school students and teachers in their elementary school. They should have the opportunity to visit the middle school in the spring and meet the staff and students, particularly their homeroom teacher and classmates. Educators in both the elementary and the middle school should provide activities for students that lessen their concerns, build their confidence, and reduce their anxiety.
- Current middle school students also should be prepared for and included in orientation presentations -- through a leadership/student government class, a "buddy" system, or other planned ways.
- School leaders should plan and provide for several events that involve students, teachers, and parents. These events should focus on providing a positive message about middle school, that it is safe and fun. They should also focus on providing information about the changes that early adolescents will be experiencing.
- Elementary teachers, counselors, and other licensed staff members should be aware of the concerns of their students and the anxieties of moving into middle schools. They should be upbeat and reassuring -- and they should not use middle schools as a "threat" or misplaced motivational tool. They should know about the developmental issues, indeed, some of their students in the elementary schools will already be experiencing some of these changes.
- Middle school teachers should be well versed in the developmental issues of their students. They also should be aware that students will experience anxieties associated with the change and they should begin before school starts to work to neutralize these anxieties. Visiting elementary schools in the spring, so the students know the teachers, and addressing any questions or concerns on the first day of the school year are two ways to facilitate this easing into the year.
- Parents should attend the spring incoming parent night to meet homeroom teachers and begin to establish a relationship with the teachers.
- Parents should attend school meetings to learn about the concerns and questions their children have and will have. They should talk with their children about the upcoming school year and emphasize the positive aspects of attending middle school. Parents should watch for signs of depression and be ready to address them.
- Parents need to learn about young adolescents and their developmental issues and stages so that they will understand better this new and wonderful person with whom they live, and be able to interact with them in positive ways that build relationships.
Making the transition into middle school is the first and most significant step to insuring a successful middle school experience. It is one that deserves time and attention. A well-planned transition program helps parents and students have a greater peace of mind by taking some of the stress out of the summer before middle school and providing the groundwork for a successful beginning of the middle school adventure.

Olympus goes ultra-small with 20x zoom SP-565 UZ
Olympus has taken the performance and specs of one of our favorite ultrazooms, the SP-570 UZ, and put it all in a more compact, carry-able package: the Olympus SP-565 UZ.
Utilizing the same 10 megapixel sensor and 20x, 26-520mm equivalent zoom lens seen in the larger SP-570, the SP-565 measures only 4.6 by 3.3 by 3.2 inches and weighs in at 13.2 ounces.
According to Olympus, the SP-565 was developed in an attempt to make the performance of an ultrazoom camera more "portable and approachable." The resulting device is not much larger than a conventional compact digicam, but packs in one of the most wide-ranging zoom lenses currently available on any camera regardless of size.
Although it retains the SP-570's manual controls (including aperture and shutter priority modes), the SP-565 emphasizes a more point-and-shoot user experience, with 33 scene presets, face detection capable of tracking up to 16 faces in a single frame, Shadow Adjustment Technology that compensates for high-contrast and backlit scenes, and a Perfect Shot Preview function that allows shooters to preview the effects of settings changes and processing options before shooting.
The SP-565 is also the latest camera capable of capturing images before the shutter release is pressed. A new Pre-Capture system works in conjunction with the SP-565's high-speed shooting mode, beginning to buffer reduced resolution frames in the 13.5 fps High-Speed Sequential Shooting mode as soon as focus is locked. The camera automatically preserves the last ten frames recorded before the shutter release is pressed, making it possible to capture action unfolding prior to actually snapping a picture.
A 2.5-inch LCD with 230,000-dot resolution and an electronic viewfinder work in tandem to provide visibility for shot composition in any light. Olympus's Dual Image Stabilization, which includes a sensor-shifting mechanical stabilization system, is essentially a requirement for utilizing the SP-565's full zoom range without a tripod.
Olympus has yet to completely abandon its proprietary xD-Picture Card memory type, but as with most recent releases from the company, the SP-565 includes an adapter for using the more common, mobile device friendly microSD memory format as well. Four AAs continue to provide power for Olympus's latest ultrazoom, with an advertised 410-shot life promising some fairly serious power consumption improvements compared to previous models in this series.
From where we sit, the reworking of Olympus's flagship ultrazoom into the smaller and lighter SP-565 UZ makes a lot of sense for a company that's actively working to return to its heritage of building compact, high-function photographic equipment (the E-420 DSLR and Olympus's joint-venture Micro Four Thirds compact sensor/lens mount technology being two recent examples). Expect some solid head-to-head competition with Fujifilm's recently reworked compact ultrazoom, the FinePix S2000HD, as well when both these cameras make it to market.
Expect a street price just under $400 when the SP-565 UZ hits stores in October.

Blue Jays-White Sox game postponed
Foul weather puts off Wednesday night's scheduled matchup
With a sizable summer storm bearing down on the Midwest, Wednesday's rubber match between the Blue Jays and White Sox on the south side of Chicago was postponed nearly six hours before first pitch.
A makeup date and time will be announced at a later date.
Wednesday's postponement marks the fourth this season at U.S. Cellular Field, the most since the White Sox had five such occurrences in 2008.
Toronto and Chicago split the first two contests of the three-game set. Aside from the eventual makeup, the teams aren't scheduled to meet again this season. They split a four-game series in Toronto in April.
The Blue Jays, winners of four of six games, traveled to Texas for a four-game set with the Rangers beginning Thursday. The White Sox open a four-game series in Houston on Friday.
Wednesday's cancellation caused the White Sox to make slight alterations to their starting rotation for this weekend's wrap-around series in Houston.
Chris Sale, who was scheduled to pitch against the Blue Jays, will start Friday's opener against the Astros. He will be followed by John Danks on Saturday, Hector Santiago on Sunday and Jose Quintana on Monday evening, giving the White Sox a four-pack of southpaws in Houston. Dylan Axelrod's spot will be pushed back, and while it hasn't been announced officially, the right-hander figures to pitch Tuesday's series opener in Minnesota.

Food prices fell 0.8 per cent in November for the third consecutive month as vegetable prices continued to drop, Statistics New Zealand said today.
Prices manager Chris Pike said the fall reflected seasonally cheaper vegetables, with tomato, broccoli, and lettuce prices all falling in the past couple of months.
Three of the five food subgroups contributed to the fall in the index: fruit and vegetables - down 4.4 per cent, meat, poultry, and fish - down 1.6 per cent, and grocery food - down 0.2 per cent.
Tomato prices fell 45 per cent in November from the month before. Chicken piece prices fell 11 per cent, broccoli was down 35 per cent and the price of lettuce fell 21 per cent.
Prices rose for apples, chocolate blocks, nectarines, and potatoes.
In the year to November 2012, food prices dropped 0.6 per cent, with grocery food making the main downward contribution - falling 3.6 per cent.
ASB Bank economist Jane Turner said that lower prices over the past year were largely due to dairy price falls.
The price of fresh milk has fallen 9.6 per cent in the past year, while butter has gone down 25 per cent. The price of cheddar cheese has fallen 12 per cent in the past 12 months.
"We expect that dairy prices will stabilise over coming months, and expect prices to lift over 2013 as global prices rise due to the lagged impact of this year's US drought and resulting rise in feed costs," said Turner.
She said food price declines over the past year had been a significant contributor to the moderation in CPI inflation.
Much of this decline was a result of a correction in fruit and vegetable prices (reflecting adverse weather conditions in previous years) and a correction in dairy and meat prices from elevated levels late last year.
"Over the coming year we expect food prices will start to rise again. In particular, we expect gains will be led by an increase in meat and dairy prices. This will be the result of lower global production due to higher feed costs following the US drought," said Turner.
Meat, poultry, and fish prices fell 1.7 per cent, as did non-alcoholic beverages, which were down 0.8 per cent.
The strongest individual upward contributions for the year were from kumara - up 98 per cent, avocados - up 92 per cent, pumpkin - up 108 per cent, and apples - up 20 per cent.
Kumara price hikes were influenced by poor weather conditions in both the planting and harvesting seasons, which affected this year's crop.

Self-portraiture and emerging artistic consciousness in Dafen
Dafen is a village surrounded by the thriving metropolis of Shenzhen, and the origin of most of the world's reproduction oil paintings. In the popular imagination Dafen's artists produce anonymous works for unknown customers, operating no differently than a faceless factory churning out counterfeits, replicas and nothing close to what would be considered art.
REGIONAL productively collaborated with the otherwise commoditized community in Dafen by asking selected individuals, some for the first time, to imagine themselves in their professional medium. The final works show the technical, creative, and professional facets of the artists identities subsumed by the styles and relationships they maintain with specific famous artists. The hybrid result of original subject with derivative style comments on originality, global cultural production and REGIONAL's cooperation with emerging enterprise forms that are internationalizing the village.
The product of the collaboration are sets of images (seen below) comprising a digital photo of the artist in his studio, an indicative painting of their usual output and an original self-portrait. While the final works contain both the creative signature of the original masters and the emergent self-consciousness of the Dafen artists, it is equally important to note that they derived great fulfillment from using their talents freely, and were remunerated at a rate commensurate with the unique international nature of the project.
The series operates as a comment on iconicity in cultural reproduction and consumerism as well as posits strategies for enabling and activating creativity that would otherwise be absorbed by routine production. The works produced with the talent of DAFEN are part of a continuing series of our international collaborations that seek to engage and encourage untapped creative, cultural and economic opportunity around the world.
The paintings seen below are to be featured in galleries worldwide in the coming year.

The all-time best site for finding the cheapest plane tickets in the U.S.
Our biggest beef with Kayak's competitors is that when you click to book a fare, they typically direct you to a new page. Sometimes it's only then that you find out your actual departure time—or worse, you're forced to plug in your dates and departure cities all over again, only to discover far different results. Kayak stands apart. Once you've found a good flight on Kayak, click on the price and you'll be sent directly to the airline's website, where the exact price for the exact flight you selected unfailingly appears. Another perk: If you are flexible on your travel dates, we recommend you try Kayak's flexible-date search tool, which covers the broadest scope of routes and airports of any site we've tested.
The granddaddy discounter helps hotels, car-rental agencies, and airlines unload all sorts of inventory at well below published prices.
We admit that Priceline's name-your-own-price option—in which travelers don't know specific details until after their bids have been accepted—isn't for everyone. But as flexible travelers, we're fans of using Priceline to bid blindly. You'll find the best results when bidding for upscale hotels in large cities, paying up to half off what other guests pay. The trade-off is that your hotel's location will be something of a surprise. But in many big cities, it doesn't really matter which neighborhood you're staying in, because you're hopping all over town sightseeing anyway. Of course, Priceline also sells travel the straightforward way (with the price and details quoted up-front), but, in our opinion, it's no better at doing that than Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, or CheapTickets.
Harnessing the power of the masses, the user-hotel-review site TripAdvisor is the top way to hunt for hotels.
We admit that the site's spectrum of good, bad, and mixed reviews for the same property can be confusing. But you know what? After reading the reviews and disregarding ones that seem off or biased, you get a decent sense of what to expect in a hotel—which is the point. The ultimate guide to travel Web sites
For now, TripAdvisor is the top dog in user-generated hotel reviews, but we're also watching Kayak-owned TravelPost, a newly-launched site that offers a similar service (though to date it posts only about one-tenth as many reviews and opinions as TripAdvisor).
Spotlights independently owned properties overseas, many of which never show up on American travel sites.
Any booking site can point you to large, widely known hotels. But you might prefer to stay in a charming inn or a small property on your next trip, especially if you're traveling to Europe. Well, Venere is the go-to source for this type of mom-and-pop lodging, which usually provides better value for the money than hotel chains. A recent search on Venere for hotels in Nice, France, for example, turned up 20 spots charging nightly rates of less than 60 euros ($82). That's well below the typical rates for large hotels in the resort town. Venere also offers other kinds of alternative lodging, such as apartments, pensions, and farmhouses.

The Tournament of Roses Queen and Court Committee members have no way of knowing if the seven young ladies they name Rose Queen or Rose Princesses each year will get along.
In selecting the Rose Court for the 1953 Rose Parade, the choice was serendipitous.
Sixty years later, most of the women on the court remain friends and catch up for lunch about twice a year.
The ladies give credit to their queen, Leah Feland Cullen, for organizing the get togethers over the years, ensuring the group stayed in touch.
"The fact is we all became kind of like sisters," Cullen said recently during one of the bi-annual luncheons at the San Gabriel Country Club over salad, iced teas and dessert.
On the table was a framed black and white photo of the women 60 years earlier in mint green off-the-shoulder ball gowns with white satin gloves. Cullen was wearing a cape, holding a bouquet of red roses and adorned with a crown.
The women have been through marriages, divorces, re-marriages, the births of children and grandchildren, new jobs and more.
They reminisced over the differences in the Rose Court selection process between now and 60 years ago. For example, committee members came to their homes to tell the seven chosen young women they were part of the court, instead of at a public event at the Tournament House.
Judy Ryan, then Judy Roberts, remembers she was in her pajamas when the Tournament of Roses committee members came to tell her she would be a princess.
"There they were, 10 men in my living room," Ryan said.
Also back then, the young women of John Muir High School, then John Muir Junior College, and Pasadena Community College were required to try out for the court as part of their physical education class requirements. Hundreds of young women gathered at the Rose Bowl for the audition, Cullen said.
Nancy (née Smith) Snyder said she probably wouldn't have even tried out if it wasn't required. In fact, she and a friend were about to sneak out of the tryouts, until TofR committee member Ernie Smith stopped them and told them to go back.
"Nowadays the girls in kindergarten dream about it," said Snyder.
"It was not something we aspired to," said Ryan.
The ladies talked about the outfits they got to wear, including a charcoal suit that each of them continued to wear years later. Cullen and Diane Armstrong still have their mint green coronation dresses. Snyder said her dress turned into a dress-up costume for her children.
The ladies insist that they all truly get along and after spending an hour or so with them, you feel like they would tell you if it was different. Sandy (Gillman) Wilner couldn't make the most recent lunch. One of the princesses died several years ago and another moved to the East Coast and has lost touch.
"We lucked out that we got along as good as we did," said Armstrong.
Cullen had some advice for the current queen and six princesses as their reign is culminating — record every moment.
"Keep track of every single thing," she said, pointing to her cell phone. "Because it's so easily forgotten."

A great classic movie.
Fran, our new A Team member, is going to love this.
It's not about this Mary…
It's about this Marie.
Fran might not be related to this Marie. I am about 100% sure about that. But then again I might be wrong and she could be related.
I only know this bride by her first name: Marie. That's the little information I had on her back in 2007.
Enticed to visit again my blog next time and read all about Marie? I know someone who will.
100% sure!

When Valve released the Source Filmmaker code earlier this year, it was accomplishing two things.
1) Put an amazingly flexible set of tools in the hands of amateur filmmakers, who could go on to produce some amazingly professional results.
2) The most professional of those videos could serve as the very best kind of free advertising any company could hope for.
Nothing exemplifies that better than this Left 4 Dead 2 clip by Zachariah Scott called Midnight Power, which is just about the best thing I've seen all week.

text: 1. At JTAG Technologies BV we seek to hire those with a strong understanding of the computer, IT, and electronics industry. Walk me through your background and highlight your most relevant experience. The interviewer can see that you have previous positions which qualify you for this job with JTAG Technologies BV; however, they want for you to go into further detail on the roles which you feel are the most relevant to the position at hand. This question also helps the interviewer to see that you understand the job description and requirements of the role. If you do not understand the position requirements fully, a question like this will make that transparent to the interviewer. Be sure you know your stuff! Use the keywords provided in the job posting/job description to keep the attention of the interviewer. Example #1: "From my understanding of this position, you are looking for a professional who is skilled in X, Y, and Z. I bring about seven years of experience in each of those skills - primarily from my jobs with Company A and Company B. In total; I have over ten years of industry experience which means a full understanding of your organizations' primary focus." Example #2: "I feel that my current position is the most relevant to this particular role with JTAG Technologies BV because we use the same software, and the business model is very similar. My current position aside, I have approximately ten years of related experience in skills A, B, and C - which you mentioned as required skills for this position." 2. Our industry is a competitive one. In your opinion, what makes JTAG Technologies BV stand out from our competitors? It is vital that you thoroughly research JTAG Technologies BV before your interview, as well as their competitors. Be prepared to talk about their competitive landscape and why JTAG Technologies BV comes out on top. You can keep your answer brief but be as specific as you can. Show off the research you've done! Example #1: "I fully understand that this is a competitive industry. You get one chance to impress your customers, so first impressions are everything. When I looked online at the industry reviews, JTAG Technologies BV seemed to have many more positive reviews than any competitor. You say on your website that your customer service values are the most important focus and that truly does stand out." Example #2: "After researching JTAG Technologies BV I think that the verbiage you use on your website and your social media content has the most positive and customer-centered message. That was a real stand out to me." 3. At JTAG Technologies BV we like to develop Subject Matter Experts (SME's) in multiple fields. If you could sum up your knowledge to one area of expertise, what would it be? Everyone has their strengths and areas of expertise. The interviewer wants to know what your is. Talking about your strong suits is not bragging, but it can still be tough to pump your tires. Think about times in the recent past where your manager or co-workers have come to you for answers. Do you seem to have the answers when it comes to a particular subject? Perhaps you just completed additional education or certification in a specific area. Discuss an area where you think you bring above average industry knowledge. Example #1: "I have spent a few years sharpening my knowledge and expertise in X. In my current position, my coworkers will often come to me with questions relating to this subject. I am always happy to help, and if I do not know the answer, I will research until I have found one." Example #2: "If I could sum up my knowledge in one area of expertise, I would say that I am a subject matter expert in heavy duty electronics and equipment. I am very passionate about the subject. With that said, I do enjoy continued education in a range of subjects." 4. We have multiple avenues for career growth. Where would you like to see your career with JTAG Technologies BV take you? Interviewing, hiring, and onboarding is an expensive and time-consuming process for JTAG Technologies BV. Since there are likely many career opportunities available to you at JTAG Technologies BV, be prepared to discuss how you would like to see your career grow. This shows the interviewer that you are engaged in this process and interested in becoming a long-term fixture in their organization. Example #1: "I was browsing your online job board to see what types of growth opportunities were available with JTAG Technologies BV. One role that stood out to me was the IT Department Manager position. It seemed that this could be a very natural step in my career once I have grown with you for a couple of years. I'd like to learn more about what I can do to prepare myself for a role like that." Example #2: "In my current position, I have had my sights set on the senior leadership position in my department. If I were to join JTAG Technologies BV, my goal would be the same. I plan to take a few leadership workshops in the coming months to help get me there." 5. As you know, we have a very high customer service standard at JTAG Technologies BV. If you could sum up your customer service style in 3 words, which would you choose? Most companies rely heavily on their customer service reputation. Assure the interviewer that you will value their client base by providing the same excellent service they have come to expect from JTAG Technologies BV. When using keywords to describe your customer service style try to avoid overused terms such as 'friendly'. If there are keywords you see frequently used by JTAG Technologies BV on their website, in their job postings, or in their job descriptions, you can draw on those as well. Example #1: "I have heard great things about the customer service provided by JTAG Technologies BV and I look forward to joining your esteemed team. If I could sum up my customer service style in 3 words, I would choose attentive, personalized, and energetic." Example #2: "Here are some traits that many hiring managers look for when determining your ability to provide great service to their clients: - Ability to Handle The Unexpected - Attentive - Calming - Communicative - Confident - Intuitive - Knowledgeable - Patient - Persuasive - Positive / Positive Language and Outlook - Timely" 6. At JTAG Technologies BV we are always looking for new ways of improving services. Do you have any suggestions for us? The interviewer is indeed not asking you to reinvent their wheel. The worst thing you could do here is speak negatively about JTAG Technologies BV without any constructive feedback. If you do have a suggestion, keep it light and be sure to close your answer on a complimentary, and positive note. Example #1: "I think that you are doing an impressive job at JTAG Technologies BV and I look forward to coming to work with you. If I could make any suggestion, I would recommend more updates on the company blog. People are interested in what JTAG Technologies BV has to say!" Example #2: "I appreciate all of the hard work that JTAG Technologies BV puts into the services and other creative solutions. My primary suggestion would be to include more digital downloads and worksheets related to your products on your company website. Customers greatly value free resources."

In its Global Wind Report, Annual Market Update, GWEC said it expects a surge in installations in the US following a fallow year, while strong growth in Brazil and China are also expected to drive the increase.
However, the predicted growth would come from a low base following a wan year when installations fell by more than 20% to 35.3GW.
GWEC said that global market growth is expected to stabilise through to 2018, leading to "a period of steady but unspectacular growth".
China once again topped global installations, with 16.1GW installed last year. Germany and the UK followed with 3.2GW and 1.9GW respectively. The US only managed 1.1GW following 12GW in 2012.
However, the US is expected to experience a resurgence in installations after the massive drop off last year due to the anticipation of the ending of the production tax credit (PTC) subsidy at the end of 2012. The reintroduction of the subsidy and the changing of the rules to qualify in order for projects to qualify led to more projects under construction in the country at the start of the year than at any other time.
But countries outside the OECD are expected to provide most of the growth, with GWEC secretary general Steve Sawyer saying: "It's much easier for wind to get strong market share in a dynamic and growing economy with significant demand growth."
GWEC said that China is likely to exceed its target of hitting a cumulative capacity of 200GW by 2020, which would rely on annual installations of 15.6GW a year.
Brazil may move up to third or fourth in the global rankings for installations with a record year, while "hundreds of megawatts" are expected to be added in South Africa.

I joined my husband on a return visit to Hangzhou, China where he came to work with colleagues at Zhejiang University. On our first visit, we had the opportunity to experience much of what makes Hangzhou a highly desired tourist destination. However, our time did not allow for a visit to either the China National Tea Museum or Longjing Village. On this visit we wanted to go to both places.
Haofei Zhou, a student from Zhejiang University, who was our translator and guide, and a taxi to drive us made this possible. It was a Monday and, to our dismay, we found the museum was closed. Longjing Village was about three miles up the mountain so we continued until we reached the highest part of the village near Lion Peak (the highest) and Dragon Well.
Stepping out of the cab, we were greeted by Yindi Wong bucket in hand, which she gave to Haofei, who dropped it into the ancient well (about 1000 years old) and brought it up filled with water with which we washed our hands.
Then we were ushered into Yindi's home, looked at the entry area and taken to a back room, where we were shown the baskets that her family uses to gather and dry the tea. Her family has lived in this house and has been gathering and selling tea for many generations. The Dragon Well tea plants are in the Camellia plant family (Camellia sinensis). Tea cultivation is a labor-intensive business, as all picking is done by hand so that the young leaves are not damaged.
The term "Lung Ching" or "Lungching" means "Dragon Well," which takes its name from the beneficent dragon that was said to live in local wells. An ancient Chinese legend tells of a severe drought during which a local Taoist monk summoned a lucky dragon. The monk prayed to the lucky dragon and the dragon created the rain that saved the crops. Today the name "Imperial Dragonwell" is used to indicate the use of only the finest young tea leaves.
Seated in the room where the tea was prepared and served seemed almost spiritual. A gentle slightly cool breeze came through the open window from which there was a view of the entire valley below. We were told that the tea is gathered and dried three times during 21 days in March and it is the second gathering that yields leaves that are uniform in size and most desirable. I asked how she makes her living and she said that visitors taste her tea and purchase it. She also has many regular customers mostly from all over China who are regular customers and phone her or write to her and she mails them tea. She does not have a computer.
At this point we were "introduced" to the tea. There are four steps in preparing tea. Using glass for the tea preparation is very important in order to observe the leaves. The water is brought to a temperature just below boiling and a small amount is poured over the tealeaves and drained off. This is washing the tea (1). Next it is important to smell the leaves. (2) The cup is then filled with hot water and the leaves sink to the bottom. If the tea is very good the leaves turn upside down. Then only half of the tea is drunk. (3) The glass or cup is refilled and again only half of the tea is drunk three more times. (4) This tea is very good for one's health, we were told. In fact, a Google search of "green tea" yields pages of references to current research being done worldwide attempting to demonstrate the medicinal value of green tea.
Nicole Allard notes that green tea has been around for hundreds of centuries, dating back in Chinese literature as far as 5,000 years ago. Based on some Chinese legends, stories and some literature it dates back to 2737 BC. Many stories that tell how green tea was first recognized, including: A man known as Shien Non Shei found the tea plant and tasted a leaf from it. He thought it tasted fantastic, and decided to mix it with water to make a drink out of it. He also thought that the plant had medicinal properties, and the Emperor, Shen Nung, came upon the tea when a leaf from the plant fell into a cup of hot water he was drinking at the time.
From Wikipedia: According to the legend,[8] Kangxi's grandson Qianlong visited West Lake during one of his famous holidays. He went to the Hu Gong Temple under the Lion Peak Mountain (Shi Feng Shan) (highest mountain peak) and was presented with a cup of Longjing tea. In front of the Hu Gong Temple were 18 tea bushes. Emperor Qianlong was so impressed by the Longjing tea produced here that he conferred these 18-tea bushes special imperial status. The trees are still living and the tea they produce is auctioned annually for more money per gram than gold.
China Travel Home Page in an article by Kevin Hulsey, states: In ancient China the "Imperial Dragonwell tea" was picked for the Emperor by young virgins, who used gold scissors to cut only the first leaf, which was placed into a golden basket. Legend has it that the young virgin tea-pickers also used only their teeth to pluck the youngest leaves.
China Travel Guide says: It is the Dragon Well Tea, world famous for its "four wonders" - emerald green color, aromatic flavor, sweet taste and beautiful appearance. Because of its nutritional value and extraordinary effect on people's health, it is highly valued by both the domestic and foreign markets.
We could not resist purchasing the tea. My husband, who had not been feeling well, noted an immediate healing effect after drinking the tea. It was delicious but very expensive. Keeping the tea in the refrigerator will make it last for up to two years.
A visit to taste Dragon Well Tea is a wonderful and memorable experience.
