I made it to Tea Drunk on 7th street the other day, thanks to diprey11's tip. The good: I did get some decent Zhi Lan Xiang, though it was the expensive version of what I had in China. The not-so-good: someone needs to inform the server the proper pronunciation of Tie Guan Yin - "Tie" is not the "tie" that men wear around their neck.
Oh boy, more tea info! Thanks MacGuffin and diprey11. I hope to check out Tea Drunk since it's local.
Northern Chinese breakfast, really.
Dave, I don't know the number but Squid kun has the right picture. When you come into the mall, it's straight to the back. Squid kun, I don't think there are many items on their menu. You can order Hu2La4 Tang1, (think "Hula" hoop). The buns are named "lightly fried Chinese buns", or something of the sort, with 9 in a order for $3.

Northern Chinese breakfast, really.
Lau, I can only say that the Taiwanese place 小圆環's 肠旺 was pretty bad with the ubiquitous weirdly sweet tasting brown sauce that many places seem to use these days. It was made worse served in a styrofoam plate. Their stinky tofu had good texture, but seemed so squeaky clean that it's almost tasted bitter. Unfortunately, I only saw the Lamb Noodle place after I'd already eaten at the Taiwanese place, otherwise I would have followed my Hu La soup "breakfast" with the lamb noodle soup. That said, I have to say, my perspective (from not eating out much) is not too ambitious these days. I'm just amazed at how time flew, and how much more accessible things are these days.

I can't believe it's so long ago that I first craved the Zhang Zhou city Hu2 La4 Soup 胡辣汤, and today , 8 years , a few food courts and restaurants later, I got to taste it.

Northwestern Famous 西北 at Columbia U - food truck
It was on the east side of Broadway, not far from the main entrance, south of it.
Northwestern Famous 西北 at Columbia U - food truck
Right near 116 st a Chinese food truck that made the little corner seem like China. Offering 肉夹饃 (pork burger, chinese Northwestern style), which was very tender and fatty when I got it yesterday, for $3, and 鹵麵 noodle (stew noodles, for a lack of better word) prepared the way I like, somewhere between pan fried and lo mein style., for $5. good with hot oil.
No need to go just for this, but if you are a columbia U student home sick for food, you'll be happy you don't have to go all the way down to Chinatown for simple food.
bummer. I'm guessing they're not using the pre grand-opening period to try things out, get feedback, so that they can achieve a good product, instead they are being frugal, unaware of the negative consequences - which is losing customers before they even start.
I didn't sit and wait for them to be made, if that's what you mean. But, if you walk in, and there were none ready, then they'd make it on the spot.
Keep in mind, they've not officially opened yet.
the ones i got were still warm.
Here's a picture from the other day.
The obanyaki in Mitsuwa sometimes get too doughy, though I do love the abundance of the red beans.
Here it's just Taiyaki, which appeals to the kid in me who wants to eat a whole fish from head to tail.
I didn't quite get the address, but it's on Catherine street just off of bowery (going toward the river it's on your left, 2nd store front, yellow awning with chinese writing: 一口茶)
They have just opened, offering Taiyaki - the Japanese fish-shaped pancake filled with red bean paste. So far only red beans, and a savory ham and cheese, both were nice. The owner said more to come after they officially open. Fillings like chestnuts, custard, and green tea (in the batter).
I often crave obanyaki and taiyaki but seldom have time to go to Mitsuwa these days. This was a nice place to have here.
The tea house part so far is bubble tea.
Diprey11, thanks for the link. That picture of the leaves for Zhi Lan Xiang looks pretty much right on.
(I'm curious about your having a "toothache" in regard to the Tea Habitat.)
When I was in Cali briefly in several years back I had some nice conversations regarding with Liu on chowhound, talking about tea, as a matter of fact.
I'm still not a big fan of ordering online for tea, so, no, I have not ordered from Iman, or anyone else.
*When the time comes it would be fun to have a chowhound tea meet up.
MacGuffin, I'm glad I'm able to return the favor!
Diprey11, I have put in an inquiry to the Mandarin Tea Room for to pick up some tea, though I'm pretty sure theirs will be the more popular kind. Hope I'm wrong.
while in Guangdong I bought some Wudong mountain Dan Cong. The seller said it's from his family farm in the mountain. I liked their 烏崠芝蘭香 and 烏崠黄枝香, (one a simple natural beauty and the other rich and complex like good wine). I'm not looking for aged tea. In fact, what "aged tea" I've had didn't taste good to me. 2004 was when I first tasted those particular dan cong quite by chance, and later (too late I found out) they turned out to be hard to come by both in china and in the U.S.
After being absent for a while I've found Fan Gourmet Tea and liked their $3 per person per tea tasting option. I've not been to the Mandarin's Tea room, (assuming it's by appointment only?) but it appears that they have the Pheonix tea I've been looking for since 2004. (Fan Gourmet doesn't have it last time I asked) Thanks all, for reminding me to look.
Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay Notes
I wonder if fellow hounds have more info on the original baker of the Georgian Bread place on Neptune (blue awning, on neptune between 4th and 5th or 5th and 6th)? Yes, they've reopened since Sandy, but things have changed, (the oven painted red for one), and the older tall baker has not been around. The long flat bread tastes different.
Will have to check out the other place (109 Brighton 11) Jen posted about. Thanks!

Yuen Yuen 人人 冰室 in Chinatown is gone。
Thanks for the pictures! Which clay pot dish was that? Rattlesnake, per chance?!
Yuen Yuen 人人 冰室 in Chinatown is gone。
On the rare day I thought to look for it last week I paced up and down Bayard wondering if I'd remembered its location incorrectly. (61 Bayard btw Mott and Elizabeth)
Now I will always wonder if the rattlesnake soup was any good...
Does Anybody Really Like Fennel?!
Yes. I actually like fennel. For salad: It's a great occasion to use the truffle shaver (which otherwise doesn't get used) to shave it and some sort of firm apple thin as can be.
Braised in the oven with the many winter root vegetables it is part of a one-pan meal.

here's the short rib sandwich
I've been back a few times and enjoyed the Cuban sliders while they were out of the short rib. The pork is juicy and fresh. Their choice of bread has always been good so that it complimented. Finally though I was able to get the short rib sandwich today. it's tender with just enough fat. simple and flavorful. I didn't want any sauce to hide the original taste. Their fries are also well made.getting 6 piping hot apple pie dinkies for 1.5 less with my sandwich was nice.
Fall into the garlic trap much?
KaimukiMan, do you attribute "smelling like a native" to any particular Korean dish?
I remember Taiwanese street food fondly. While in the US eventually some Taiwanese food ecome available, and had come pretty close to my memory of it, it took just one trip back to Taiwan (after 15+ years of absence) for me to realize right away the difference between the FRAGRANCE of garlic and the STINK of garlic.

Fall into the garlic trap much?
Definitely, I can stay away from the bad ones when I shop. The thing is, when restaurants start using the cheap garlic to save time, we have no choice, except maybe to know not to return next time.

Fall into the garlic trap much?
just curious, do you use pre-peeled garlic?
Fall into the garlic trap much?
It's likely true that each person process garlic differently, though at the same time, it takes a neutral person other than ourselves to determine whether the garlic breath had really left us or we've just gotten used to ourselves.
Fall into the garlic trap much?
On the few times I eat out these days, I've stumbled into the garlic/garlic greens trap, where just a few bites of a dish (in this case some Korean Mandu) and I'm branded for days with the offensive garlic "breath", actually more like a massive garlic cloud that can light up a whole subway car. no amount of tooth brushing or gum chewing, or parsley chewing help.
It didn't used to be like this. Fresh garlic didn't used to smell like something internally processed by a drunk. (and no, I didn't have any alcohol). I'm quite sure it's when restaurants use the pre-peeled, and even the pre-minced garlic for convenience sake.
Has anyone else been noticing this? For New Yorkers who ride on the subway, you know what I mean.
Thursdays at Columbia U's farmers market Millport Dairy from PA is there with eggs and chesses, but I've taken a liking to their shoo fly pie, and have been glancing at their ginger molasses cookies. Maybe they might do?

CDC Issues Health Advisory about Severe Respiratory Illness Associated with Enterovirus D68
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Health Advisory to inform health care providers, emergency departments and microbiology laboratories of recent increases in hospitalizations of patients with severe respiratory illness, provide awareness of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) as the possible cause of the illnesses and provide infection control guidance.
In August 2014, a children's hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, and one in Chicago, Illinois, notified CDC of increases in pediatric patients examined and hospitalized with severe respiratory illness, including some admitted to pediatric intensive care units. Nasopharyngeal specimens from patients with recent onset of severe symptoms from both facilities were sequenced by the CDC Picornavirus Laboratory. EV-D68 was identified a majority of specimens. Admissions for severe respiratory illness have continued at both facilities at rates higher than expected for this time of year. CDC has been notified by various states of similar clusters of respiratory illness, though confirmation of EV-D68 in these potential clusters is still under way.
Of these severely ill patients who were confirmed positive for EV-D68 from both hospitals, all presented with difficulty breathing and hypoxemia, and some with wheezing. Notably, most patients were afebrile at presentation and throughout the hospital course. Approximately two thirds of cases had a previous medical history of asthma or wheezing, but both hospitals reported some patients with no known underlying respiratory illness. Ages ranged from 6 weeks through 16 years, with median ages of 4 and 5 years in Kansas City and Chicago, respectively.
Most patients were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. Of the 30 patients who were positive for EV-D68, two required mechanical ventilation (one of whom also received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) and six required bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation. It should be noted that specimens from only the most severe cases have been typed at this time, and so these findings may not reflect the full spectrum of disease.
In response to an increase in EV-D68 infections, the CDC recommends the following:
- Health care providers should consider EV-D68 as a possible cause of acute, unexplained severe respiratory illness, even in the absence of fever.
- Although the findings to date have been in children, EV-D68 may also affect adults.
- Providers should consider laboratory testing of respiratory specimens for enteroviruses when the cause of respiratory infection in severely ill patients is unclear.
- Confirmation of the presence of EV-D68 requires typing by molecular sequencing.
- Providers should contact state or local health departments for further enterovirus typing.
- Health departments may contact CDC for further enterovirus typing.
- Providers should report suspected clusters of severe respiratory illness to local and state health departments.
- EV-D68 is not nationally notifiable, but state and local health departments may have additional guidance on reporting.
The CDC is currently prioritizing respiratory specimens from patients with severe respiratory illness who are known to be positive for rhinovirus/enterovirus from initial screening assays.
Infection Control:
- Routes of transmission for EV-D68 are not fully understood.
- Infection control guidelines for hospitalized patients with EV-D68 infection should include standard precautions, and contact precautions in certain situations, as is recommended for all enteroviruses.
- As EV-D68 is a cause of clusters of respiratory illness, similar to rhinoviruses, droplet precautions also should be considered as an interim recommendation until there is more definitive information available on appropriate infection control.
- As EV-D68 is a non-enveloped virus, environmental disinfection of surfaces in healthcare settings should be performed using a hospital-grade disinfectant with an EPA label claim for any of several non-enveloped viruses (e.g. norovirus, poliovirus, rhinovirus). Disinfectant products should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for the specific label claim and in a manner consistent with environmental infection control recommendations.
Included with today's notice are polices that reflect infection control recommendations within this Health Advisory.
TJC Seeks Comments on Proposed Revised Diagnostic Imaging Requirements
The Joint Commission (TJC) is conducting a field review for proposed revised diagnostic imaging requirements. As you may recall, earlier this year TJC postponed implementation of new and revised diagnostic imaging requirements because they decided additional research was needed.
TJC is now seeking input on standard revisions for the following areas:
- Minimum qualifications for radiologic and nuclear medicine technologists that perform computed tomography (CT) exams.
- Orientation of technologists on safe practices related to the provision of diagnostic imaging.
- Documentation of CT radiation dose.
TJC is asking that staff and clinicians with expertise in diagnostic imaging provide feedback by October 24, 2014. To review the proposed revisions and for comment submission instructions please follow the link below.
Hospira Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of One Lot of Heparin
Hospira, Inc. has initiated a voluntary nationwide user-level recall of one lot of Heparin Sodium, 1,000 USP Heparin Units/500 mL (2 USP Heparin Units/mL), in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, 500 mL, NDC 0409-7620-03 Lot 41-046-JT with expiration date of 01NOV 2015. This action is due to one confirmed customer report of particulate in a single unit. The foreign particle was confirmed by Hospira as human hair, sealed between the tube and the film at the round seal of the unused Administrative Port on the non-print side of the container.
In the unlikely event that the particulate breaks and pieces are able to pass through the intravenous catheter, injected particulate material may result in local inflammation, phlebitis, and/or low-level allergic response. Capillaries may become occluded. Patients with preexisting condition of trauma or other medical condition that adversely affects the microvascular blood supply are at an increased risk.
Heparin Sodium Injection in 0.9% Sodium Chloride at a concentration of 2 units/mL is indicated as an anticoagulant to maintain catheter patency. To date, Hospira has not received reports of any adverse events associated with this issue for this lot. The root cause has not been determined and is under investigation.
The affected lot was distributed nationwide between June 2014 and August 2014 to wholesalers/distributors, hospitals and pharmacies.
Anyone with an existing inventory should stop use and distribution and quarantine the product immediately. In addition, customers should inform potential users of this product in their organizations of this notification. Hospira will be notifying its direct distributors/customers via a recall letter and will arrange for impacted product to be returned to Stericycle. For additional assistance, call Stericycle at 1-855-201-4337 between the hours of 8am to 5pm ET, Monday through Friday.

May the best brand win
A new brand helped Juventus score.
Founded in 1897, Juventus is a much-loved professional football club (that's soccer team for anyone American).
The challenge for Juventus was to make the big shift from a winning club to a true global brand.
Any football club has a clear and obvious mission – to win. So the difference between brands comes from those core values, which bond people around the same flag.
Following an all-round audit and research, we focused on the three core values that would distinguish Juventus as a brand – excellence, legacy, and passion.
We refreshed the logo so the Juventus name is now the fulcrum of the crest. It is underscored by a new graphic element, and the bond with the city of Turin is symbolized by the city's heraldry.
Launched in 2004, the new brand identity was greeted with interest and enthusiasm by the international business and sports communities and by football fans everywhere.
Whether facing ensuing victories or the crisis of the Italian tournament in
2006, the strengthened Juventus brand has showed it can both catalyze enthusiasm
and weather any storm.

|The battlefield of the week for September 22 was Manassas. The bus was leaving at 8, so quite a few of us trudged down to The Lincoln Diner at 7, where we were not only joined by Cathy Bain, but Dr. and Mrs. Guelzo as well! We made it back in time to hit the road for Manassas at eight with our beloved Walt was at the wheel. The bus ride seemed long, but we survived to pull into the Manassas Visitor Center just past ten. After a brief welcome by park ranger Jim Burgess, we proceeded down Henry House Hill with our guide for the day Mr. Booz. We stopped at the Henry House where bloody fighting took place on the afternoon of July 21, 1861.
|We found ourselves in front of Rickett's Battery, where we learned how to distinguish the difference between a Parrott gun and a Napoleon.
We proceeded down to the bottom of the hill, stopping at the famous Stone House. We learned the history of the house from Jim Burgess, who explained to us that the house was used as a hospital for both the First and Second Battles of Manassas. It was a fascinating old place.
After using the house for a group photo-op, we marched back up Henry House Hill. Yes, we marched, not walked. Mr. Booz made us hold rank in two lines as we slowly worked our way back up the incline. It was quite an ordeal, at least doubling the time it took us to climb the hill as compared to us simply walking up it. What was the purpose of marching up the hill? To give us a sense of how difficult it is to march and hold rank WITHOUT bullets flying at you. It was an effective lesson, to say the least. When we reached the top of the hill, we made our way across the open field to the tree line beyond. This area is believed to be where Stonewall Jackson staged his brigade during the fighting. We next visited Jackson's Superman statue, sitting proudly at the crest of the hill. It is no wonder that so many people think Jackson could have won the war single-handedly. With the size of the muscles on that statue, Jackson looked invincible. Another group photo in front of the statue was in order.
|After a visit to one of the first monuments to find its way onto a battlefield, the tribute monument to combatants at the first battle, we made our way back up the hill for boxed lunches and book store raiding. The bookstore was well stocked, as proven by the fact that many of us once again walked away from it with additions for our collections. After this excursion, we made our way down to the Stone Bridge over Bull Run, which Union troops hastily retreated over at the end of the battle.
Anna and Joe managed to touch Bull Run, thereby keeping their pact to touch the main waterway at every battlefield we visit. After the Stone Bridge, we boarded the bus and headed back to Gettysburg. We pulled into Gettysburg around five that evening, in plenty of time to enjoy the College's Annual Crab Fest! It was another wonderfully eventful day for the Semester. Next week is Antietam with Dennis Frye.

The waiter at the front desk did inform us that our wait was going to be about 15-20 minutes before we were going to be seated. However we noticed that two other couples arrived after we did, but they were seated before us. To me and my wife's chargrin we didn't quite understand that. The managers came over and apologized for the delay in our seating. The one manager comped our appetizer which tasted devine! And another manager comped our dessert. I still paid the full gratuity because of the care and concern and promptness and attentiveness was first class. We will be dining there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Our server, Brianna, and her assistant, Daniel, were attentive without being overbearing, and most helpful with our dining choices as we had not been there before. The manager, Joseph, came and greeted us during our meal to welcome us as new guests. While the restaurant is pricey, the meal was fantastic, and it was well worth the experience. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthdayDined on 9/16/2014The tables and seating were very plush, service was excellant without being overbearing. The food was top notch. We dined on the Northern Nights Menu and have seen restaurants serve smaller portions since the menu is $30.00 per person. NOT SO at Eddie Merlot we recieved regular portion sizes and the food, Plank salmon was excellant. I upgraded to the fillet and you could have cut it with a fork, it was that tender and done to perfection. All and all I would definatly recommend Eddie Merlot to my close friends looking for a special place to take that special friend or bussiness acquaintance.Special Features:
- Best in City (maybe any city)hardtopleaseDined on 9/13/2014I'm not that easily impressed, but every aspect of this visit was outstanding. I've been to many premier steak places in Indy and around the country, but the Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye was the best steak I ever had. A week later and I'm still thinking about that steak. Wife had the Trio of Medallions. We also had shrimp appetizer and a lobster tail with our meal. The shrimp was fantastic and the lobster as well. I love the whipped butter that they put in the butter warmer to melt just before you get your meal. There are places you can get better lobster tail, but probably not in Indiana. We had a couple drinks at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly as well as the rest of the staff. They were all very attentive.Special Features:

- Wonderful ExperienceMamaJDined on 9/12/2014I was in the mood for a "good steak" when I made reservations for Eddie Merlot's. I chose this restaurant based on some of the positive reviews I read. I have to say, we were not disappointed. From the minute we walked in the door to the minute we walked out, our experience was wonderful! The french onion soup appetizer was delicious, the steaks fantastic, the wine was stellar! I would go back in a heart-beat and have now declared this one of my favorites (yes, even rivaling my favorite Eddie V's in LaJolla, CA). I am a bit of a "food snob" and love a top-notch dining experience and Eddie's certainly gave me that! Yum!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

If I am paying top dollar I want top service and food. This was our 3 7th wedding anniversary (he never asked if this was a special occasion) and we left feeling disappointed.

- Quality of food not superiorIndypopoDined on 8/24/2014We have been to this establishment a number of times and it seemed, to our entire party, the quality of the steak was not the quality we have had before. I seemed that because they were running a special, they used a lower quality of steak. The green beans seemed to be right from a bag with very little taste to them. The Cesar salad was good.Special Features:

Our server was energetic and attentive. We asked to have our after dinner Courvoisier gently warmed.

Names Children Call Parents
Mommy Dearest: What Should Kids Call Their Parents?
For reasons I still cannot explain, my children started calling my husband and I by our first names. At school, they are told to call their teachers by their proper names. I think they just picked up the way we speak to each other at home. While we thought it was funny at first, the more it happens in public, the more we realize that we need to rein them in and go back to traditional titles. The problem is that our kids simply refuse to do so. Do you have any suggestions?
— Jennifer aka Mom
To see the response from Mommy Dearest, read more.
Jennifer aka Mom —
You and your husband appear to have backed yourselves into a corner here. It is time for you to exert your authority and redirect your children to rules that must be followed. To start, you should convene a family meeting and discuss your desires to be called by traditional titles. If your lil rebels continue to disobey your wishes, it may be time to stop responding to them when they call you by the wrong name. Following that, you may need to start whatever form of disciplinary action your family subscribes to.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I think this is possibly the best book out of the whole series, simply because the plot twists and turns come out of nowhere and cause you to actually speak to the text "What?! No Way!" I found myself wanting to immediately find someone to talk to about various things in the book. It's rare that a book absorbs me so much that I get as worked up over it as this one. Great book in a great series.
So far, this is my favorite one in the series. But ... nothing good ever happens - it's just one depressing event after another.
For the first hundred pages or so I was not convinced that this was the same writer as the prior two books but as things went on it was clear that Martin is there and is an amazing writer. The twists and turns are amazing and I'm continually impressed with the writing and will read anything Martin puts out there! I have not seen any of the shows but hear that they follow the books pretty well. I'm happy with the books so I will continue to read.
In spite of the time it took me to finish reading the book, so far this is probably the best book of the series. There isn't much I can say about it without giving out any spoilers so, being as generic as I can be, I can say that there is a lot of betrayal, lots of completely unexpected deaths (or maybe not so unexpected, but things you didn't think would happen so "early"), a LOT of action and a lot of potential for the next books!
Rating: 3.5 of 5
Good grief. What's the point anymore, if everyone's going to die anyway?!
It's all about the journey, not the destination?
But if death - the ultimate danger, the biggest threat to one's favorite character(s) - is inevitable in these books, then why should I care about anyone or anything in the story?
Where's the fun in everyone dies, few get their comeuppance? It's as if Martin doesn't want me to connect with anyone in the story... doesn't want me to care. So if I don't care, what's the point in reading thousands of pages?!
And the brutality is relentless. No one catches a break, ever. It's exhausting. I'd rather use my valuable reading time for something else and watch the Game of Thrones TV show instead. Never thought I'd say that.
P.S. Jon Snow has been my favorite through all three books I've read; however, I cannot continue reading the series for fear he'll either 1) become a different (less honorable) person or 2) get killed (purely for shock value because Martin loves to kill off characters just to say he did).
Could we be heading for an ultimate conflict in which both sides are wrong and the right answer is being human and choosing the excluded middle? Wouldn't that be cool if it were the case?
With the end of A Storm of Swords, Martin is half finished his epic. However, so little has been revealed that we have only begun to glimpse what the true saga really is. It's as if you are peering through a dirty window, cleaning small portions of it -- one square inch at a time -- so more and more of the room beyond is slowly revealed. Each glimpse uncovers a new wonder, but you can never be sure of exactly what you are seeing.

Wikipedia in English (7)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 055357342X, Mass Market Paperback)Is George R.R. Martin for real? Can a fantasy epic actually get better with each new installment? Fans of the genre have glumly come to expect go-nowhere sequels from other authors, so we're entitled to pinch ourselves over Martin's tightly crafted Song of Ice and Fire series. The reports are all true: this series is the real deal, and Martin deserves his crown as the rightful king of the epic. A Game of Thrones got things off to a rock-solid start, A Clash of Kings only exceeded expectations, but it's the Storm of Swords hat trick that cements Martin's rep as the most praiseworthy fantasy author to come along since that other R.R.
Like the first two books, A Storm of Swords could coast on the fundamentals: deftly detailed characters, convincing voices and dialogue, a robust back-story, and a satisfyingly unpredictable plot. But it's Martin's consistently bold choices that set the series apart. Every character is fair game for the headman's axe (sometimes literally), and not only do the good guys regularly lose out to the bad guys, you're never exactly sure who you should be cheering for in the first place.
Storm is full of admirable intricacies. Events that you thought Martin was setting up solidly for the first two books are exposed as complex feints; the field quickly narrows after the Battle of the Blackwater and once again, anything goes. Robb tries desperately to hold the North together, Jon returns from the wildling lands with a torn heart, Bran continues his quest for the three-eyed crow beyond the Wall, Catelyn struggles to save her fragile family, Arya becomes ever more wolflike in her wanderings, Daenerys comes into her own, and Joffrey's cruel rule from King's Landing continues, making even his fellow Lannisters uneasy. Martin tests all the major characters in A Storm of Swords: some fail the trial, while others--like Martin himself--seem to only get stronger. --Paul Hughes
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:35:47 -0400)
"Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others -- a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords"--Cover.… (more)

"I was looking for a twins-themed thank you card to use for my baby shower gifts. This design was great b/c it is gender neutral (mine are boy/girl) and also appropriate for my couples shower (i.e., not too girly). I customized the text to say "Thank You" instead of having my name. It just seemed to make more sense. I also changed the font since the default suggestion seemed a little bit passe. The finished product is clean, simple, and cute! One nit-picky suggestion was that I would have liked the option to extend the yellow border or design to the back of the card. I did not have the perfect photo(s) to use in that space, but hated to leave it entirely blank."
"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"I have ordered this card twice after enjoying it so much the first time. I found it versatile and the perfect size for a short note...sometimes a thank you note or a sympathy note...it worked well for both. I deleted the "thank you" heading and inserted my name at the top. That left a little more room to write."
"I absolutely love these cards--my very favorite thank you cards to use. The high paper quality, contemporary design, and accent color (I chose orange), along with my name (only placed my first name after the words "thank you" on the card) make it special. I love the self-addressed envelopes that match it (I think it's such a nice touch to have personalized envelopes as well). I ordered both the cards and envelopes a second time, and will continue to order more as I run out. Great value!"
"This is such a pretty little card. I love the quality of the paper and printing. Impeccable service and products every time I have used Tiny prints. The only thing I don't like is the logo on the back..."

New Balance
In 1906, William Riley studied the strong talons of a chicken's foot and wondered whether the metatarsus bone's structure suggested a solution for human foot pain. His first product, an arch support, sold for a hefty $3.50, the equivalent of about $90 today or four liters of water in 2072. The popular product inspired designers to create not just an insert but an entire shoe tailored specifically for runners. The Boston Braves demanded an entire fleet of the customized New Balance sneakers in 1941, and the company remains devoted to sports apparel today. Dedicated walking, cross-training, and trampoline-jumping pairs join the classic running shoes on shelves. Oversized N logos, exposed stitching, and contrasting colors stay true to the company's classic aesthetic; many are still made in the USA.

If I think quickly about my dad, I'd say he was generous, strong-willed, strong-minded, strong everything. A towering man with a loud voice but also a soft heart. He was mad a lot when we were younger. Blew his top easily. But he also loved to help people out of a jam. Find a way to make some part of their life easier. He'd laugh at the stupidest jokes. Especially his own. And he clearly liked to document his travels and good times as evidenced by the photo albums full of snaps like the one above that include train ticket stubs, army patches and postcards from the towns he visited. I really like that I have his travel scrapbooks and can still find gems I hadn't noticed… like my dad in shortyshorts, flip flops and a sassy pose. He's good stuff.
I'm amazed that he's been gone five years today. I'm doing really well even swallowing that fact. I miss him like crazy but am grateful for who he was and what he all taught me. Like, being responsible for yourself and trying to make the best of any situation. And laughing a lot. Some of my best traits are pulled straight from his playbook, probably some of my worst too. Anyway, he remains my dad and hero in my heart.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
If the image below this sentence doesn't appear, click here: http://alvinlee.deviantart.com/art/A...COM3-105931533
To me, it's almost like magic. Artists like Alvin Lee always make these action lines thick at one end and perfectly pointed at the other, and make it look like one stroke. Is it really? I mean I've tried that, no luck. I've also tried converging two different lines. The problem with the latter is that the method is too obvious, and I can never get a single end that narrow. This particular picture looks like either all pencil, or some pencil and some ink. Hard for me to tell, but either way, it boggles my MIND.
I require illumination! D:
Perhaps it's a really large resolution he started out with. ... Dunno.

my money is on pen/ink. Maybe an inking pen and a ruler? Or possibly a ballpoint pen and a ruler, or a crowquil pen and a straightedge (a.k.a. Ruler. Word changed to prevent redundancy).

There's no doubt in my mind that there's some straightedge-ery involved. The latitude of the solution lies more in the pen, and possibly some mystical swing of the wrist that every asian seems to know.
Use any felt tip pen... like a number "7" pigment liner from Staedler. And a straight edge. Line up your straight edge for where you want the line to go. Start at the thick end of the stroke. Push harder to make a thicker line at the beginning and as you drag the pen along the straight edge move the pen faster and faster along the edge and push lighter and lighter, until the pen lifts off the paper.
This will make a perfect thick to thin stroke. (You may have to run the line a few times to get it the way you want, starting hard and slow and ending fast and light until you lift the pen off the paper.)
I do this all the time when I make panel borders that fade out.
At least Icarus tried!

My "Smilechild" Music. Plus a medley of Commercial Music Cues and a Folksy Jingle!:
Kev Ferrara pretty much nailed it (and I'd listen to him...his ink work is reaaaally nice.)
That picture above though is most DEFINITELY pencils.
Two things I'd say to keep in mind:
1) If you're penciling with an intent to ink later, I wouldn't worry about getting the thick/thin in the pencils -- you'll be doing it in the ink.
2) It takes quite a bit of practice to develop that sensitivity to line weight in pencils. Just keep practicing at it, and you'll be able to do the same thing soon enough.

Late last night I checked WTSO and found that they were offering a 2006 Bouchard Montrachet for $399. Not a bad price. If it werent for the fact that we are getting ready to leave for a short vacation on Thursday I might have pulled the trigger on a bottle. When I checked back about 15 minutes later the wine was gone.
What I can't understand is how a flash site would end up with such a wine? Did Bouchard over-produce? Are they having trouble moving the '06's in particular? It seems that their standard distribution network would be happy to have the wine available to them at a reduced price.

No complaints about the ship and we didn't run into constant trying to sell us extras like alot of others talked about, infact we we pretty much not even asked anything.
We had a free spa treatment which was great and the girl told about other services but no hard sell.
Entertainment was ok. We really enjoyed ice show.
As far as food we ate at Johnny Rockets twice and loved both times, great service. MDR dinner we only went 1st and last night. Wish we hadn't gone the last night, felt like we were on trial, every wait staff that came to table asked where we had been eating. We were really uncomfortable.
Food was OK not bad but nothing really great, can't think of anything we ate that stood out. Fountain drinks were really bad though but royal Caribbean did refund me for my fountain pkg.
This was our 2nd Royal Caribbean cruise but I doubt if we will use them again unless we get a really big deal and then I doubt if we would consider.

Science claims the universe is expanding
What evidence does science have, that explains such, said the spider to the fly. :-)
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 4 2013: If we accept that the red-shift observed in the light from other galaxies is evidence that those galaxies are receding from us (It's fairly safe to do so as red-shift is used in other areas such as identifying binary stars successfully), then the evidence suggests that almost all observable objects are getting further away. If you have a group of objects that are all getting further away from each other then the group as a whole must be gradually taking up more space ie expanding. The caveat is however that this theory and observation suggests the observable universe is expanding. We can't apply this to things we are as yet unaware of.
They must be fairly confident. They don't name space telescopes after just anybody.
Jim RyanApr 4 2013: Congress and local governments christen whomever they choose, while they stand in the open taking bribes, to keep their jobs and enrichen themselves, while destroying the moral fabric of this nation. Gosh, they named a telescope after someone. So as andromeda is in blue shift, that means nothing to you?
So tell us, can this telescope see to all that is out there? What if most that science sees is in red shift, what if all not seen is blue shift?
Apr 4 2013: Edwin Hubble. Yes there are some objects moving toward us like Andromeda but there are billions of galaxies moving away from us and they even move away from us in a very predictable manner.
Jim RyanApr 4 2013: Billions of galaxies and all are moving away? Do tell us what scientist you spoke to and have him/ her come here and prove such. While we're at it, tell us, out of your billions of galaxies traveling in red shift, why is only andromeda the only galaxy in blue shift?
I guess you believe we are all idiots, right?
peter lindsay 50+Apr 4 2013: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2dF_Galaxy_Redshift_Survey
By the way I teach astronomy.
Apr 4 2013: "If we accept that the red-shift observed in the light from other galaxies is evidence that those galaxies are receding from us ..."
I have often wondered about this. Considering how little we actually know about intergalactic space, it seems to me that cosmologists are making a big assumption, that the entire red shift is due to the speed of the receding galaxies. To the best of my knowledge, every bit of data regarding the behavior of electromagnetic radiation has been gathered from within the solar system. To me, it seems completely plausible that the red shift could be due (perhaps only in part) to some other natural attribute of intergalactic space which we have no way of being aware of, until we send something out there.
Apr 7 2013: Red shift observations have been used to measure other movements such as relative velocities of binary stars or even the rotational velocity of a single star. As a technique it has proven reliable in several different situations. Even if other unknown factors contribute that wouldn't change the fact that the vast majority of large scale structures are moving away from us.

Wolf Spider in Missouri
Wolf spiders found in Missouri share traits known to many other wolf spider species throughout the world. Typically 1 to 3 cm in body length, wolf spiders are relatively large spiders. Wolf spiders in Missouri have four pairs of legs, the fourth of which is longest, and four pairs of eyes in varying sizes.
Generally burrowing arachnids, wolf spiders may also be seen crawling across floors in homes. They typically inhabit gravel and sand bars, low vegetation areas and leaf litter as well as living near rivers, ponds and streams.
Wolf spiders can be defensive and bite when threatened. However, their venom is not considered medically threatening to the average adult.
A number of wolf spider species appear similar to brown recluse spiders. As a result, some people might find it difficult to identify them. A major physical difference is wolf spiders have eight eyes and recluses only have six.

In this floating world of ours no one cares about anybody else. I used to believe in people. I actually thought it was possible to improve the world. But I was too naive, I deceived myself. Time and time again those I trusted disappointed me and now I don't have much faith in anything.

eTextbook Initiative
The University of Michigan eTextbook Initiative was launched in fall 2011 to moderate the upward trend in textbook costs we have seen over the past several years; and to develop a flexible system that combines traditional texts with new dynamic tools, enabling faculty to draw content from multiple sources to create a richer learning environment.
The University Library, ITS, Academic Affairs, and schools and colleges are collaborating in the initiative, as well as faculty and students serving in an advisory role. The eTextbook landscape is complex, student expectations are evolving rapidly, and no single product/solution will meet all, or even most, needs. See News & Links for updates on this initiative.
For more information, contact Marketing & Communications at firstname.lastname@example.com, or 734 764-6338.
