Visionaries on a Mission
Claire Martin & Richard Rodney Bennett: Songs of Irving Berlin
The Oak Room (at the Algonquin Hotel)
59 W. 44th St., (212) 840-6800
Through June 18
Irving Berlin was obsessed with simplicity; playwright Anita Loos famously described how she witnessed him endlessly rewriting and rethinking a song to make it as simple and direct as possible. He would have loved the British team of singer Claire Martin and pianist-occasional vocalist Richard Rodney Bennett, who are doing a program of his songs at the Oak Room. In the case of this duo, voice (usually one at a time) and piano are all you need; bass, drums or horns would only be intrusive. The open format exposes both the performers and the songs—there's no place to hide, no additional instruments to cover up any shortcomings, and it wouldn't work if Berlin's songs weren't so brilliantly constructed to begin with. The result is a kind of perfection that's anything but minimalist. Further, Mr. Bennett in particular shows that even Berlin's least known works, like "Lonely Heart" (from "Thousands Cheer"), are as expertly constructed as the hits.
Berlin is often listed as a member of the famous Algonquin Round Table, those celebrated wits of the Jazz Age who convened in the very same Oak Room. Yet I don't imagine the songwriter spent a lot time guzzling cocktails and trading bon mots; he was much too busy writing songs. As Mr. Bennett points out in the show, the goal Berlin set for himself was to compose one new song every day. He may not have reached it, but by the time he was finished he had written what is estimated at about 1,500 songs.
In another famous anecdote, Berlin is having a drink with his fellow songwriter Cole Porter, and one of them asks, "Can you imagine that sometimes it takes two guys to write a song?" In being able to write both lyrics and music so brilliantly, Berlin was a kind of one-man duet. Throughout the opening-night set at the Algonquin, Ms. Martin and Mr. Bennett (who have just released "Witchcraft," a new album on which they give comparable treatment to the marvelous music of Cy Coleman), showed the benefits of the duo concept.
It isn't just the tension between voice and piano, but the amazing ways in which Ms. Martin uses her deep, sultry contralto to convey contrast. She has a sense of dynamics inspired by Tony Bennett (who I've seen at her performances), and knows precisely when to sound light and when to sound heavy, when to sound sultry and when to sound breezy. Rhythmically, she and Mr. Bennett (who, in his other career, is a Knighted composer of film scores and classical music) are even able to articulate the subtle difference between syncopation (as on the earlier songs like "When the Midnight Choo Choo Leaves for Alabam") and swing (as on the later songs). She sings "Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me" like a semi-comic air of self-deprecation rather than a typical torch song, and with a very dramatic pause after the first word. At one point on "Steppin' Out With My Baby" (one of many songs the pair played from "Easter Parade") Mr. Bennett accompanied her with just his left hand, which conveyed the feeling of a voice-and-bass duet.
Another duality is the contrast between the classics, like "Blue Skies" (which Ms. Martin sings with a scat chorus, à la Ella Fitzgerald's Songbook version), and the obscurities, like Ms. Martin's "Fools Fall in Love" (from Lee Wiley's Berlin album) and Mr. Bennett's "He Ain't Got Rhythm," which might be viewed as a caustic, glass-half-empty answer to the Gershwin brothers. The set also alternates between full songs and well-constructed medleys, like a mash-up of songs about giving in to temptation, "Get Thee Behind Me, Satan" and "I Got Lost in His Arms." There's also a medley of "Isn't This a Lovely Day?" and "It's a Lovely Day Today." I was wondering why they'd omitted "It's a Lovely Day Tomorrow" but then I realized that everything has its limits.
Vision Festival 16
Abrons Arts Center
466 Grand St., (212) 598-0400
Sunday-June 11
This may be the 16th annual Vision Festival, but the general style of free jazz that it presents is more than 50 years old, having been hatched with Ornette Coleman's breakthrough work in 1959. Since then, the jazz avant garde, by its very definition, has been a busy and diverse movement, a sort of umbrella term for an incredibly wide range of music. Some of it is in your face and screaming and the top of its lungs, some amazingly melodic. And Vision makes a point to incorporate other arts, like painting and dance, as well. This year's fest celebrates the 70th birthday of the formidable German saxophonist-composer Peter Brotzmann, an experimental player whose visionary technique has made fans out of, among others, Bill Clinton. There are also tributes to "Fallen Heroes" Marion Brown and Billy Bang, whose appearances were highlights of every Vision "season."
Karrin Allyson
315 W. 44th St., (212) 581-3080
Through Saturday
Karrin Allyson has chops, but more important, she has taste and restraint—one gets the distinct impression that she could belt a lot louder and higher than she generally does. Instead, she sings with amazingly subtlety, employing just enough technique to put her songs over. She keeps within a very specific range, both melodically and emotionally, which allows her to blend beautifully with the rest of her group, especially guitarist Rod Fleeman. The result is a true collaboration in which all the instruments interact while remaining within a specific sonic space. Accompanying herself on piano, Ms. Allyson puts "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" into a distinct 4/4 tempo (as opposed to the usual out-of-time treatment), enhancing both the music and the narrative. At almost precisely 12 a.m on Wednesday, she concluded with a haunting duet with bassist Ed Howard on 'Round Midnight," also the title of her new album.
Lee Konitz, Bill Frisell, Gary Peacock, Joey Baron
The Blue Note
131 W. Third St., (212) 475-8592
Through Sunday
A few years ago, Bill Charlap released "Live at the Village Vanguard" and held the release party at Dizzy's. This week, Lee Konitz is playing the Blue Note to celebrate his new album "Live at Birdland." Go figure. In Mr. Konitz's case, at least, the music he's playing live this week is very different from what's on the recording. Guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer Joey Baron drive Mr. Konitz to play with much more urgency and friskiness than I've heard in a while. On Wednesday (the opening of the Blue Note Festival, in a double bill with Francisco Mela's excellent sextet), he was constantly interfacing with Mr. Frisell. Instead of playing "solos," virtually every phrase he improvised was in response to the guitarist or the drummer.
Eliane Elias
Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola
Broadway at 60th Street, (212) 258-9595
Through Sunday
Single guys take note: This Brazilian pianist-singer is a great act to bring a date to hear, and Dizzy's is easily the most romantic-looking music venue in town. Even the uninitiated could dig Ms. Elias. Her music is very similar to the breakthrough bossa nova albums of João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Astrid Gilberto, with Ms. Elias playing all three roles by herself. Her new release, "Light My Fire," combines originals with North American and South American standards from both the jazz and pop sides of the fence; she's written a set of lyrics to trumpeter Kenny Dorham's "Stay Cool," and given the Doors' title track and Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" a Brazilian waxing. She also tackles "Take Five." I was trying to figure out if she could actually play a bossa nova in 5/4, but I was enjoying myself so much that I kept losing count.

Northwestern University football players recently announced they are attempting to create a union for college athletes.
It's not exactly Norma Rae standing up on the factory floor for better work conditions. To the average student, who is delivering pizza at night and still has to borrow money for his education, it's a tough sell.
But something stinks about the way the NCAA treats its athletes, and change is in the air.
The Northwestern players hope a union will bring better medical coverage, minimize the risks of brain injuries, and allow players certain rights afforded to other Americans, such as being able to earn a living any way legal under the law, whether its selling their shoes, accepting money for a bag of groceries or using their name or image for commercial purposes.
This is an uphill battle; there is precedent that establishes student-athletes as just that, not employees of the university, and therefore they can't form a labor union. The Northwestern players have petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for union representation as the College Athletes Players Association, with the backing and assistance of the United Steel Workers.
The NCAA's official response:
"This union-backed attempt to turn student-athletes into employees undermines the purpose of college: an education."
Stop. Right. There. Does the NCAA really want to go down that road? Talk about hypocrisy. If the purpose of college is education, then why are universities becoming football corporations with schools attached? Why are they paying coaches millions of dollars and negotiating lucrative TV contracts and sponsorships and selling merchandise and spending millions on stadiums and weight rooms and athlete lounges?
This stopped being about education years ago.
The NCAA generates more than $16 billion just in TV contracts for football and basketball. Forbes magazine listed college football's biggest money makers — the University of Texas boasts, $96 million and a profit of $71 million; Notre Dame $72M/$47M; Penn State $73M/$53M; LSU $69M/$47M; and Michigan ($70M/$47M).
Everyone — coaches, schools, sponsors, networks, shoe companies, bowls — is cashing in except players. The players are denied even the right to use their own name or image for gain. In fact, most football players can't even hold a full-time summer job — according to NCAA rules, coaches can't require players to remain at school for summer conditioning, but they make it clear they better be there or else.
Football players are controlled in every way. They can't even change schools without paying an NCAA-mandated penalty. The NCAA is all-powerful and players are denied even basic due process — NCAA decisions (and sanctions) are final. Less than 20 years ago the NCAA wouldn't even allow student-athletes to work during the school year, and they are still limited on how much they can earn with an outside job. The NCAA's hypocrisy has no limits: Johnny Manziel and Ohio State football players are suspended for selling or trading autographs and jerseys, but the NCAA does both.
Contrary to legal definition, the players work a full-time job for the school's team. A study conducted by the NCAA itself revealed that FBS football players spend an average of 43.3 hours a week playing or training for football (39.2 hours for basketball players). A scholarship, in most cases, doesn't even cover basic living expenses.
"The No. 1 thing that I want to accomplish is to finally give athletes a true voice," Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter told Yahoo Sports. "They need to finally have a seat at the table when rules and regulations are determined. They need an entity in place that can negotiate on the players' behalf and have their best interests in mind."

A recent study led by a graduate student at the University of Milan in Italy reveals declining snow amounts and retreating glaciers in the Mount Everest region, reaffirming fears that many scientists hold – increasing global temperatures could cause irreversible damage.
The research presented at an American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference in Mexico earlier this month, shows that the glaciers in the Everest region have shrunk by 13 percent over the last 50 years.
The snowline has also moved uphill nearly 580 feet.

"Australia on course to beat 2020 renewable energy target". Ryan, your usual shell game. Australia is already the world's largest exporter of coal, with plans to greatly expand this export. So, any fossil savings they generate by their relatively small domestic energy use will be more than offset by this massive export. And, you criticize the MSM for distortion?
Obama signed off on the pipeline whitewash and the industry fracking report, since they were rubber stamped USG documents. That alone is reason to consider him an opponent in our critical quest to reduce emissions.
The Himalayan Plateau is also showing high levels of methane in the atmosphere. The integrity of the ice is deteriorating and is starting to leak methane coming from below like a sieve.
BHO at a fundraiser in Chicago yesterday:
"If I've got somebody who has a different approach to dealing with climate change — I don't have much patience for people who deny climate change, but if you've got creative approaches, market-based approaches, tell me about them," Obama said.

Dear All,
We all realize that anyway climate change is global issue and has direct and direct impact on geophysical structure as well as biodiversity. The great concern related to this issue is climate change and health (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs266/en/)which has recently initiated by WHO in 2008 as climate change and human health ( http://www.who.int/globalchange/en/) programme. Many more researches have been conducted and different models are proposed behind the reasons of climate change but now the key concern is how to mitigate the issue. Both adaptation and mitigation programme are equally important. The given link is helpful for climate change: http://blog.jidc.org/2013/04/02/climate-change-perspectives-from-nepal/
– Let's integrate and cross hand to the earth, its biodiversity and health and well beings of all.
Yep. We need some good old tunes playing in the bawdy house. Tirez sur le pianiste!
I'm suspicious of this report. My daughter and I were talking to a PV installer yesterday about our coming system. Some of the top quality models come from China, ME
Didn't 'is Lawdship, the Viscount of Brenchly assure us that all was well with Himalayan glaciers?
Could Monckton have been wrong? It's unthinkable, to say the least.
David would prefer that we all install safe, 'klean'(TM) mini-nuclear power plants, umpteenth generation, naturally, on our roof-tops instead. Some PV panels will be rubbish, for sure, but the percentages of defective goods produced by Chinese industry continues to fall in all fields. When they see a problem, they work to fix it, bless their Godless souls.

And murdered 50 million Muslims during the crusade, no wonder they find it so easy to hate us.When Jews, (and yes I am one, though I am becoming a Jew who supports the palestinians), victims of pograms – murderous riots for centuries, and ultimately the great pogrom- the Holocaust, show their total ignorance and hate toward the gay people whose ashes, comingled with the Jews ashes,shared Hitlers smokestacks, there is no excuse. Until Israel de-balls these lunatics politically, why should the US foreign policy be hostage to Israel, and its right wing who smell the same as the soldiers of the Third Reich.Religious fundamentalism is the worlds #1 problem, and it is amazing that the Jews can't see common cause with the Gays in their battles for civil rights.Of course we're talking about the Orthodox / UltraOrthodox Haredi, whom I told my son's mother in law "they belong in the same hole in the ground with Arafat. To hell with them" Had a problem afterwards – putting her popped out eyeballs back in her head.Allah Akhbar on them.
To: Just an informant….when I was a school boy growing up in England we would read American novels. Our teacher at the time explained the difference in certain spellings but never said they were incorrect but moreover were about different usage and were not incorrect. Noah Webster, your American English dictionary compiler was responsible for deliberately changing the spelling of certain English words to disassociate American usage from the original English. Both types of usage are correct.To: SteveMD2…..Steve, your argument is well taken. Its the same one that American people of African descent use in the gay struggle for equality. They (hetero black Americans) are offended that we equate ours with theirs and their contention is that ours is not the same because we can hide who we were and our, whereas people of colour/color can't. They say nothing however of black gays and their struggle, as if they didn't or never existed. African Americans as they are often called are some of the most homophobic of all and among the most religiously bigoted. It gets back to the same old addage, homophobia, nothing more and homophobia = bigotry. Heteros have and always will have a monopoly on that unfortunately, they've not evolved much as we have.Robert, ex-pat Brit.

Dillon Garcia
Dillon Garcia was born into a one-parent household in Whittier, California where he was inspired by superb comics to initiate and develop his own comedy career. Dillon started his professional comedy career at age 16 when he was offered an opportunity by Richard Villa to take the stage, and dish out laughs, using his microphone and his wits.
Dillon's successful stand-up routines have brought him to open for many renowned comics including, but not limited to, Nick Swardson, Dave Chappelle and Gabriel Iglesias (his comedic idol). Dillon has also performed throughout the country and has been credited by American Latino Television, Google TV and MTV. Dillon was the youngest comedian to appear on Comedy Central when he was featured on "Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution" series in 2011.
Despite Dillon's early accomplishments, he realizes and accepts that he has much more to learn. As he molds his comedic style and polishes his gift of improvisation, Dillon's material is supported by life lessons with a satirical and sarcastic twist. However most of his material is primarily based on throwing himself in the spotlight and poking fun at himself. Dillon is currently performing at comedy clubs across the country.http://youtu.be/bbxj9yylUIA

Hugh Grant Gets His Own Floor at Soho House
So he can watch a movie with an entourage of models.
After calling off their engagement, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen officially call off their wedding, too. Weeks after filing for divorce from his wife of thirteen years, Kelsey Grammer is "deeply in love" with a young, blonde British woman who may or may not be pregnant. Bill Clinton chatted up Christie Brinkley during Lionel Richie's performance at billionaire Stewart Rahr's Hamptons fête. When the Soho House roof was too crowded (with guests including Kanye) for Hugh Grant's liking, the club shut down the entire sixth floor, so Grant and his entourage of models could watch a movie. Portia de Rossi is legally taking on Elle DeGeneres's last name. Mel Gibson's father believes Pope Benedict is "a homosexual." A casually attired Beyoncé partied at Brooklyn Bowl into the wee hours to support her sister, Solange, who was D.J.-ing. And Kellan Lutz manned the turntables at Atlantic City club Sunbar over the weekend.
Newly released police reports detail how Charlie Sheen held a pocket knife to his wife's neck, yet the couple still have not filed the divorce agreement they signed in the spring. Sheen also gave officers a fake I.D. when he was arrested last December. While Lindsay Lohan is in rehab, her assistant is "miserable," being run ragged by Dina and Ali Lohan's demands. Justin Bieber has signed on as Proactiv's latest zit-zapping spokesperson. Snooki rode a mechanical rhino while filming in Seaside Heights. And Kate Gosselin will be making an appearance at the Emmys, supposedly as part of Jimmy Fallon's opening act.
In spite of reports that she made a sex tape with a married man, American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino says she's not responsible for breaking up her co-star's marriage. Glee creator Ryan Murphy signed a development deal with 20th Century Fox with an option to bring the show to Broadway. David Arquette got another tattoo over the weekend and practiced his inking skills, giving his tattoo artist another one as well. Kristen Bell is "over being blond." And Zac Efron chatted with Details about his recent bout of poison oak, commenting, "Dude, it's like everywhere. Everywhere. I can't even begin to show you, 'cause you'll get so grossed out. I look like a zombie from 'Dawn of the Dead.'"

Sepia Wallpaper by AlexstrazseWatch
©2011-2016 Alexstrazse
I love it
Fantastic wallpapers, but one question. Is there or will there be a wallpaper pack with all of the walls?
Like a zip file or something? It depends. I might make different 'packs', like the main characters, notable background ponies, and the CMC, mainly because I'm going to continue making these for pretty much every character in the show. An update pack would constantly need revision and changing, which would be a little annoying to some people.
True and that's going to be a bit of work ahead for you. Especially since they keep adding background ponies. Well I'll have to watch ya to keep up with them all then and to see all your other work as well.
All these awesome wallpapers, even Lauren's OC, BUT NO LUNA???? I mean, really, no Luna wallpaper. Are you doing it right now or you forgot to do one?
Yes! I am going to make one. You can expect that this weekend. I was holding off on making it because I wanted to get a good pose from Luna Eclipsed.
I've just realized that this comment is stupid in a certain way. It's only now that we can make accurate Luna stuff since we never had anything to work with before. Forgive my extreme bronyism moment would you? But at the same time seeing a Luna wallpaper like this would, in fact, be great! Can you do it now that we finally have more things about Luna?
What's her full name?
Who decided on the name 'Sepia'?
Where did the name "Sepia" come from?
Nice! I'd consider putting the pencil behind the scroll though, as from my perspective it looks like the right hand side of the scroll is in the foreground, while the left hand side is in the background.
Could be either way admittedly, but there's no harm in passing on my thoughts.
Could be either way admittedly, but there's no harm in passing on my thoughts.
It looks more natural if you know what the original vector looks like, but I can see where you're coming from.

79 Tasting Notes
This is lovely. It's the first green SBT I've tried and it certainly won't be the last. Thank goodness for Kickstarter.
It really does taste creamy!. It's not hard to make a decent peach tea but the cream notes seem hit or miss and it's trickier with a green tea not to make it too heavy. It actually tastes a bit sweet drinking it straight up with out sugar.
I cold brewed it for about 7 hours I think. Normally with black teas I go up 10-12 but I thought with the green base it might be better with a shorter steep so I sipped it earlier and was very happy with the flavor and removed the tea bag.
I'm crazy itchy all over for some unknown reason and I'm just trying to distract myself from it so I don't scratch my skin off. This tea is a refreshing diversion, perfect for a hot day.
I saved the tea bag because I'm stingy and want to try a second brew with it, probably traditional with hot water then dilute with ice. If anyone has tried this let me know how it worked and how much water you used. If I can get multiple steeps out of any tea I will!
Flavors: Cream, Creamy, Peach
No one's rated this yet?
Mmmmm it was yummy. Just the pallet cleanser I needed after the shan tea disappointment.
I had it straight up because I couldn't find any sugar and it is by far and away one of the best chai's I've had. I can't wait to play around with doing it stove top or with coconut milk.
What makes it stand out is the assam I think. Any tea company can add some spices to tea and call it chai(though these spices are perfectly balanced) but here the assam shines. I've always felt like assam was the best base for chai(I think it's traditional) and it's really visible here.
I just feel content and want to spend the morning snuggling my kitty and drinking chai.
I'm really wondering what next month's box will be like, since so many of these teas are on their site (and seem to be their regular items).
Ah my baptism of the Takeya Flash Chill Tea Maker. But I didn't even flash chill it. I was a wimp and cold brewed because that's how I always make my ice teas. Now reading the reviews I see I should have saved the bag and done a second hot brew and tried out the flash chill method.
Well there's plenty more SBT where that came from!
I like this flavor because it reminds me of the lemon lime cheesecake honeybush blend that was my all time favorite 52teas cheesecake blend.
I cold brewed for about 14ish hours, maybe even 16. I was worried I overdid it but it tastes amazing. All citrus tanginess. More of a lemon lime than a key lime but still super refreshing and highly recommended.
I went to the orthopedist this morning for my shoulder and the first thing out of his mouth was, "well we could do surgery" EEEEEKKK luckily he followed it up by saying he'd prefer to do PT and cortisone shots along with NSAIDs for now. Me too!
But now I hurt from his poking prodding and manipulating. Normally I'd go for a standard comfort tea but my shame at seeing the number of samples sitting in my cupboard unreviewed overtook me and luckily this was a nice choice for something light.
Now onto the tea—Fruity! Peachy and light. Very green tasting. My first Darjeeling in a very long time. I've forgotten what they tasted like so I don't know what to compare it to.
The site said to use boiling water that had cooled for 3-5 minutes. I want to know what temp! I guessed 195 and well it tasted good so that's something?
ETA held up to a second steep nicely. I had no idea if I should try or not but figured worse case I wasted 6oz of water. Steeped for about 3-3.5 minutes. Lighter flavor but more fruity than grassy this time.
Flavors: Grass, Peach
Auch sorry! I've heard that I need to put more exact brewing instructions from several people. In my head I just see everyone making the tea to their own preferred standards. But now that I think about it I should definitely put up some better guidelines for people to go off of.
Sounds like if you got the peachy taste you made it right! I would probably use water temperature anywhere from 185-210 (boiling). Its technically supposed to be a black tea, but it underwent such a light oxidation that when I drink it I treated it more like an oolong.
I can't believe I got a sample of this and waited a year to review. I'm hanging my head in shame guys. This is what happens when you're drowning in tea and always say you'll write a review "later" .
This is my second to last serving. I wanted to make it proper style on the stovetop but then I realized that since we just moved I one—don't have a proper pot, and two—have no sweetener. So I'm drinking it straight up.
It's good. Not amazing but balanced spices and a solid foundation. This isn't a fancy tea. It's a no muss no fuss basic chai and it does it's job well.
Wait a minute….
I haven't reviewed this tea?
My favoritest comfort tea. My cuddle up in bed tea. My it's been a dreadful day tea. My it's been a wonderful day tea. My I need some tea tea.
This over site is glaring and I almost feel embarrassed.
But what can I say about this tea that hasn't been said. It's amazingly creamy without tasting artificially flavored. The creaminess lasts many infusions before gently transitioning into light fruityness(stone fruits) with a hint of floral.
This is the first time I was able to use my Zojirushi 4l (Thanks Garret for the steal!) with decent filtered water. I had a very disappointing cup of this tea while I was waiting for my filter to come in the mail. I knew it wouldn't taste as good but I just couldn't make myself wait. I wanted instant comfort! Well somethings need time and I need to learn some patients.
I am in heaven now. Simply heaven. A badly needed cup of comfort in a crazy world.
I need to try this one. A Mandala tea (Special Dark yo) is my comfort tea as well. It's the equivalent of getting into my PJs no matter what is going on.
Good water makes all the difference, doesn't it?? Whenever a customer tells me that the same tea always tastes better in the shop than at home, it pretty much always comes down to water quality. RO, distilled (both devoid of minerals needed to draw flavor out of tea) leave a flat-tasting, one-dimensional flavor and aroma, too, is lacking. Chlorinated tap water will sap good flavor and has smell all its own. Always good to filter water. That is, unless you have the fortune of having your own artesian well bubbling up in your backyard :) Good carbon-based filter systems, some of which can be had for as little as $80 for a decent one are so worth the small investment if you don't.
So happy that you are liking the milk oolong! And the Special Dark, yo!
Oh god, I've been terrible at doing my writing up my reviews for samples. My goal is now to do one a day.
I'm really glad I waited on this one till I got my water filter. I think it would have been completely ruined by my tap water. It was actually quite delicate and sophisticated. I'm a bit zoned out right now so I didn't get many specific notes. Just a general feeling of refined contentment.
I will try to add more useful information next tasting.
Just want to say cheers to this tea for still tasting good with my icky chlorinated water! I was getting depressed when some of my more delicate teas were completely ruined by it and thought I'd have to stick to flavored teas and tisanes completely but on a whim I brewed some of this up with lots of leaf and it's kept me happy through several steepings!
So yay for new apartment! Yay for new beginnings! Booo for nasty water :(
I'm not going to rate it now cause I'm sure it'd taste even MORE yummy with good water but for now I'm a happy camper. I highly caffeinated happy camper but one none the less.
I'm waiting not so impatiently for my Golden Tips tea club order to come. It's out for delivery so no more caffeine for me till it gets here :(
I might sneak in one of 52teas flavored whites or greens shhhhhh.
If it's just chlorine, it will dissipate out of the water if left out over night. A pitcher on the counter overnight will have lost the majority of the taste/smell by morning….
Brita filters do wonders for chlorine taste as well :) We recently got the travel Brita filter bottles for our traveling tea and coffee needs!
I think it's more than just chlorine but I'm going to try leaving some out overnight until I can get a filter. I'll report back.
If I end up getting a countertop one this is what I want http://www.amazon.com/MAVEA-1001125-Elemaris-Filtration-Pitcher/dp/B002U50QQQ/ref=sr_1_11?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1404754163&sr=1-11&keywords=water+filter It's huge enough to fill my Zo a good ways and I like that it takes out the icky tasting stuff while leaving in the minerals. The design is also huge plus for me, I want the purple one.
I'll check out the PUR. I"m not a huge Brita fan but they do the job in a pinch. I hate the charcoal floaties I always seem to get even after pre-soaking the filters and going through the first few fills.
I made a thread on water filtration on the general boards. You all need to go post there! This is valuable information that I'm sure other people need to. Tea is 99.99% water and if the water isn't good the tea won't be either.
I think people who think they don't like tea don't understand that. They use too hot(for greens, oolongs, and whites) bad water for the wrong amount of time on tea bags. No wonder it tastes bad!

Managing security for Removable Storage
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Managing security for Removable Storage
Removable Storage provides user-level security for media pools and libraries. Media pool security controls user access to media. Library security controls user access to library drives, slots, and inject/eject ports.
User permissions determine which users or groups of users can access media pools and libraries. Before assigning permissions for a particular media pool or library, it is a good idea to use Active Directory Users and Computers to create a user group containing the accounts of users who need access to a media pool or library. It is also a good idea to review the security tips listed in the Removable Storage Best practices for Removable Storage.

Twins criticized for having only one African-American player
Aaron Hicks (pictured) is the only African-American currently on the Twins' roster.
Last fall, the Minnesota Timberwolves took heat from local black leaders for putting together the whitest roster the NBA had seen since the Bird- and McHale-led Celtics teams of the late 1980s. Now it's the Twins' turn.
SEE ALSO: Twins offer lesbian kissers more apologies, free tickets after guard harassment
Charles Hallman, a black columnist who writes regularly for the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder and blogs at the Twin Cities Daily Planet, is calling out the Twins for talking a big game but not walking the walk when it comes to having diversity on the field, among the coaching staff, and in the front office.
In "Twins' diversity talk seems mostly for show," Hallman points out that the Twins have just one African-American player on the roster -- rookie outfielder Aaron Hicks. Last offseason, they traded two African-Americans -- Ben Revere and Denard Span -- and cut ties with their only African-American coach, Jerry White. (In fairness, the Twins do have a number of black Latinos on their roster.)
Perhaps more notably, Hallman reports that only one of the Twins' 122 front-office employees is black.
Regarding the team's upcoming "Diversity Days" celebration of Jackie Robinson during a game next Monday, Hallman writes that he "can only see these Twins 'diversity days' -- complete with fans receiving diversity T-shirts -- as for show purposes only."
Of course, ex-Twin Torii Hunter has repeatedly made headlines in recent years for decrying the decreasing number of African-Americans in the MLB. While still with the Twins in 2007, he predicted that "10 years from now you'll see no blacks, at all" in the league. In a less artful moment three years later, he characterized black Latino players as "impostors" while making largely the same point.
According to a USA Today report published this week, less than 8 percent of MLB players on opening day rosters this year were black. That's a post-integration record low.

Is it possible to use a function like wp_list_cat() and ask it to only display one category? I know I can do it by excluding the others I do not want to display... but say I am adding/removing categories, this would mean that I would then have to go into the code and manually change this exclusion every time I changed the structure of my categories.
Is it possible to, instead of asking it to exclude a certain category(ies) include certain a categoy(ies)??

So far, we are very please with our stay. It's too soon to tell how pleased we will be. The internet connection is good at our site, but cell service is weak - which the owners have no control over. It seems pretty quiet and family orientated here.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Great campground! Very unlevel roads, but the sites themselves are level, hook-ups are convenient, and there are plentiful amenities. I would definitely stay here again!

Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Rocky Marciano
His chin is more proven than Marciano's (regrettable, but true). He's four inches taller. Has ten more inches in reach. And he is--dare I say it?--faster.
1. There is no evidence Brewster has a better chin than Marciano. If you want to go by "proven" then I can say Marciano is a much more proven puncher and finisher than brewster.
2. 3 inches Taller, not 4. Also I do not see the big deal here. Sam Peter is 6'0, only 1" taller than marciano and he floored wladimir 3 times. In fact Marcianos lack of height in his crouch is Ideal. Unlike Brewster who got hit cleanly every single minute of the fight, marciano will be very difficult for wlad to hit with a clean shot.
3. Rocky is faster than brewster- I watched Brewster-Liakohkovic last night on ESPN replay, and I was shocked at how slow brewsters hands were and how unnefective he was getting inside(Unlike rocky). Rocky tracked down master boxers and got undernearth of them much easier than brewster has done to boxers like ettiene, shufford, Sergei, Wlad, etc. certain if you compare film of a 1951-1952 Marciano and Brewster of 00s, rocky has the clear edge in speed.
4. Rocky owns severeal Attributes (Workrate, Volume Punching, Finishing Skills, IronWill, Aggresion) that far exceeds that of Brewsters. All of the attributes I listed above are vital into forcing wlad into a panic attack.
Nevertheless, he took a massive beating before he got to Wlad (who suffered a panic attack / green man attack / vaseline malfunction / whatever the heck it was).
Exactley the type of reason he will lose to Marciano. Rocco will force wlad right into a panic attack once he lands on his chin and applies some pressure. It has happened to wlad more than once.
Ultimatley Crosstrainer you are picking the underdog here. You are picking a man who has had a history of falling apart to vastly inferior men with the same styles as Marciano.

I've only been gaming steadily for about five years, and most of that has been DMing for D&D.
I'm very interested in the early RPGs of the 70s and early 80s, but my active game right now is a 4th edition D&D game with some house rules to (hopefully) give it some of the feel of those older games.
My interest in gaming is two-fold, in that not only am I an active gamer, but a PhD student in anthropology and will be writing my dissertation on role-playing games. I'm interested in the connections between play, myth, and ritual.

hi --
I'm having trouble displaying full blog posts on the blog page -- even when trying to use the 'blog full content display' template.
The only time I've gotten it to work is when displaying latest posts to the homepage. But I don't want to do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks!

What is the simplest way to have two (or more) different views of the same page?
For example, I have a category called 'events'. By default, when someone goes to the archive page for an event, it will display with the appropriate template defined by the template hierarchy.
However, I would also like to be able to display an event with a different template (specifically, a lite version of the page used by an announcements mailing list program, or could also be a lite version for viewing on a mobile device).
What's the easiest way to achieve this?

my daughter put all her skylanders on top of my perfectly wonderful laptop and it crashed the next morning. Coincidence or not?
closed as not constructive by kotekzot, JohnoBoy, authenticgeek, Frank, Ash♦ Mar 13 '13 at 18:11
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
So you mean she physically put the toys on top of the laptop, correct? The Skylanders toys work on RFID chips, and wouldn't have any effect on your laptop. Though you didn't explain in what way the laptop crashed, or really anything about the laptop itself, this would be purely coincidental.

I'm looking for a way to disable the mouseover tooltips for images and hyperlinks in Internet Explorer. I've dug through the settings of IE 8 with no luck. My research suggests that only Opera has ever had this option.
I checked my copy of IE3 and it doesn't have tooltips for links, though it does for images. It too has no setting to get rid of the tooltips, so it seems like this has never been an option in IE.
I understand that this is a feature of HTML and that it's up to the web page designer to determine if the page has these tooltips. I just want to get rid of all of them that I come across. There are good reasons to disable these. For example, this is an issue for some people with epileptic seizures.
How can I remove tooltips for all pages while using Internet Explorer?

Cushing's Syndrome Directory
When the body has too much cortisol, it can cause Cushing's syndrome. Initial symptoms may include weight gain and fatigue, but it can lead to more serious conditions, such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Steroids or tumors may cause the increase in cortisol. Treatments will depend on what has caused it. Tumors should be removed and a doctor can help you come off of steroids at a healthy pace. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how Cushing's syndrome is contracted, how to treat it, and more.
