How To Choose Coffee Beans – For That Right Taste
If you love your coffee but have been dissatisfied with the coffee you brew at home then it is high time you checked the quality and type of your coffee beans. Choosing the right coffee beans is highly instrumental in whipping together an addictive steaming cup of coffee. Here are a few tips on how to choose coffee beans â for that right taste:
Where your coffee bean is bought from, how and when it is roasted, how it is ground and when it is used are deciding factors on how your coffee will taste:
Where to buy Coffee beans?- If you want to buy only good quality coffee beans then ensure that you donât buy them from your local super market. In case you are buying it form your local shop then ensure that the coffee beans are smooth, well rounded and smell good. Also if they are already roasted then ensure that you check the roasting date or sell by date and pick up the freshest batch.
Now if you are genuinely looking for the right taste then you need to buy the perfect coffee beans from coffee houses or gourmet shops. There will be people here who know more about coffee and might even allow you to taste the coffee before you make your choice
What kind of roasts?
When a raw coffee bean is roasted their flavors and aroma are released because of the release of the oils and acids in them. Each type of coffee bean has a different combination of oils and acids which gives it, its unique flavor. Before roasting, ensure that the coffee beans you have picked are fresh.
There are various kinds of roasts and they vary from the lightest to the darkest. For a roaster the main aim is to strike a balance between the acid and body of the coffee beans. It is the acid in the roasted coffee bean that gives its flavor and aroma. Remember though, that as the beans get darker like in the French or Italian roasts the more is the is the loss of the acids.
Try not to pick up the lightest roasts usually known as the cinnamon roasts. They are very low in body, and high In acids like the chlorogenic acid which imparts to the coffee a distinct sourness. The cinnamon roasts are commercially popularized as they are low in body, which means that fewer coffee beans need to be ground to make one pound of coffeeâ¦this obviously spells profit to companies.
City Roast or Light medium roast is darker than the cinnamon roast. Next comes the medium roast or full-city and then comes the darker roasts. Vienna, French, Italian, and Expresso are a few of the darker roasts and they are perfect for those who love to add dollops of cream to their coffee. Expresso is the darkest and is very low in acid and is very heavy bodied so use it carefully and they are perfect for those who like it strong.
Experiment with various kinds of roasts until you find your choice
Which Coffee Flavor will you choose?
There are myriad coffees with a variety of flavors and your choice will depend on your personal likes and dislikes. The flavors can be clear or sharp, mild or full bodied and in quality they can be earthy grassy, winey, spicy, floral, nutty or even fruity. Experiment and make your choice!
Preferred Coffee Species
There are many varieties of coffee found all over the world. The best coffee beans are grown in Latin America, Africa, Indonesia and Hawaii. The two most common ones found in the market are Arabica and Robusta. Always go for Arabica as Robusta gives you low quality coffee.
To get your coffee right every day, ensure that you buy small quantities of coffee beans and grind at home only what is required for that day.
Donât store coffee beans for long periods and when storing it ensure that they are kept in air tight containers in dark and cool areas and not in the freezer.

teaquation precisava de um novo design de logo e criou um concurso na 99designs.
Um vencedor foi selecionado entre 158 designs enviados por 35 designers freelancers.
Teaquation.com seeks to provide a home for all tea brands on the web. Like many individual brands, we believe that adding tea to the equation of life leads to healthier and more balanced living. Teaquation.com is dedicated to encouraging the creativity of the world's tea blenders and their brands by exposing people to the fine distinctions in blends and fighting for a greater market share for the tea industry as a whole. To that end, we strive to not only stock a full spectrum of blends but also educate our community of all things tea.
Online consumers and office-based businesses
Split demographic: 20s/30s and retiring boomer generation
"Whole Foods" and "Honest Tea" customers
As a brand, we want to avoid anything too feminine or "elegant" and "curvy." The market studies still show that, at least from a branding perspective, tea is seen as a feminine counterpart to coffee and culturally eastern, so targeting that demographic is already done for us. We really don't want the logo to hit you over the head with Asian design elements nor do we want to want to evoke a "tea party." Our brand is about the idea that tea is an easy way to be healthier throughout the day.
The equation angle is deliberate. Our site will provide customers with the tools to filter and learn about a variety of tea facets and qualities (caffeine levels, type, fair trade/organic, aroma, etc.) allowing them construct an "equation" that represents what they are looking for.
Finally, part of our objective is to sell a more balanced lifestyle. Coffee and high-sugar drinks can represent a high-speed, big-burnout way of life. Tea brings a lower dosage level of caffeine, huge doses of healthy antioxidants, and cultural idioms like "tea time" and "reading with a cup of tea" that suggest a healthy and multi-dimensional life.

Incident In Miami
On a warm Florida evening in 1933 a madman with a pistol and a personality profile now all too familiar—"unskilled, unfriendly, unmoneyed, and unwell"—came within inches of altering the course of American history in one of its most critical moments
December 1980 | Volume 32, Issue 1
An utterly insignificant little man, he seemed, sitting there. Of all the thousands of people soon packed around him—of any crowd whatever, as he himself had long since realized, bitterly—none other was less impressive in appearance. Black-haired, hollow-cheeked, dark-eyed, square-jawed, plain-featured, swarthy, he lacked any facial distinction that would offset the impress made by his physique, and this impress was meager: when drawn up to his full height (he always held himself rigidly erect when on his feet) Zangara stood barely an inch over five feet tall, and he was proportionately narrow of body. Similarly unimpressive was he by the standards that normally measure human importance. Negatives described his general condition. No longer youthful at age thirty- two, he was unemployed, unmarried, uneducated, unskilled (or nearly so, a bricklayer by trade), unfriendly (therefore friendless), unmoneyed—and most decidedly unwell. On the bench, he was unable to sit still. Sometimes he huddled forward, elbows on knees. Sometimes he sat straight up, or leaned against the bench back, while his right hand gripped in his coat pocket, as if for dear life, or dear death, the butt of the revolver he had bought for eight dollars from a pawnshop on North Miami Avenue a day before. (The arrant stupidity of permitting any American to arm himself at any time with a handgun would be much commented upon, editorially, in the days immediately following. ) He fidgeted constantly. But no shift of position could ease his agony for more than a few seconds. "Maybe it was the excitement," he later said. At any rate, he could not remember a time when his suffering was more intense than now, though severe stomach pain had been his virtually constant companion since early childhood. He felt (so he later indicated) as if a red-hot poker were thrust, twisting, into his abdomen.
A pitiful creature, you would have said, seeing him there. But merely pitiful.
Yet there is a sense in which he would have been highly significant even if he had not violently erupted for a brief bloody moment, as he was about to do, on history's stage. For even if he had remained passive in his misery upon a park bench, utterly alone in the crowd (in any crowd save when absorbed into it, his individual will and consciousness dissolved), this unemployed little man with a bellyache (actual, figurative) would have been both symbolic and representative of the Depression's human waste. As it was—pain-wracked, desperate, a revolver in his pocket and murder in his heart, his brain a blazing coal of hateful rage—he signified the vast social danger inherent in Depression misery: he personalized, individualized a deadly sickness then spreading, horribly, terrifyingly, through all the civilized world. Hatred was the organizing principle of his life. It was the very core of his being. Born in Calabria in the first year of history's bloodiest century, he had begun "to hate very violently" while he was yet "a little boy in school," as he would say, speaking in abrupt spasms of words, within an hour after his violent act. He hated his "richer schoolmates, who had money to spend" and "privileges" denied him, and who later, when he was in his teens, "went to school while I worked in a brick factory … and burned myself." By then his hatred was fused with the chronic pain of an ulcerated stomach (an autopsy would show that his ulcers caused serious adhesions) and had become focused upon kings, prime ministers, presidents ("no matter from what country")—upon any and all who possessed official power, official authority, and were by that token, in his view, the torture agents of "capitalists. " He would "kill them all" if he could.
Thus was prepared the fateful encounter between historic darkness and light, between nihilism and optimistic faith, which began when Roosevelt's car came to a halt barely sixteen feet in front of Zangara at 9:30 P.M. The little man was then on his feet, wild-eyed and sweating, his drawn revolver at his side, fully prepared to kill (he had planned to kill) while the President-elect was speaking. Typically, he was frustrated by the people in front of him, all of whom now also rose to their feet. They formed a wall of humanity too high for him to see over ("I'm such a short fellow I didn't have a chance"), until some of them sat down after Roosevelt, his little talk completed, had himself sat down on the car seat. Then Zangara sprang up onto the bench before him. He was wildly excited, his perceptions blurred. Afterward he remembered of that moment only that the bench he stood on was "wobbly," that "the gun started to shake" when he "pointed it at Mr. Roosevelt," that he "pulled the trigger anyway" (he couldn't "remember how many times"), and that he was then on the ground, his breath knocked out of him by the frenzied, clothes-rending, pummeling men piled atop him.
He didn't know until the next day, when the newspapers told him (as they told Roosevelt), that his aim had been spoiled by a woman who had seized his shooting arm and forced it upward.

I It is a quality shop, in which Art Schwertfeger, partner in charge of the Chicago office of Haskins & Sells, takes great pride. It aims at absolute accuracy, impeccable content, handsome appearance, punctual production and efficiency. Art shows genuine enthusiasm when he talks about the work of the Chicago Report Department. 'There are so many things that they do here, and do so well," he says, as he displays a variety of multilith products of the department. "This shows you what people can do when they are innovative." He holds up a small, handsome catalog of the art works that decorate the Chicago office, in which H&S people can identify title and artist of each print and piece of sculpture. Then he shows a green-covered annual report, decorated with a golf course landscape, that the Report Department produced for a country club. Next to it is a report for a 2 5-year old company, covered in silver stock in recognition of the company's silver anniversary. Report departments are frequently overlooked in discussions of who is who, and who does what, in public accounting firms. Yet, as Art Schwertfeger is ready to point out, a report department produces the one physical, tangible evidence of all the meticulous work performed by a professional organization for a client. So why should a report not be the best possible instrument to represent that work? Why shouldn't we take pains to make it speak well of us, in every way? The question answers itself— at least in the time and attention that the Chicago office devotes to its reports. And for this reason the Chicago office Report Department has become something special. This is not to say that others in the Firm do not see the matter the same way; indeed, there are a number of outstanding report departments in other offices. But as an example of what an excellent department can be in this phase of our Firm's work, the department in Chicago serves well. The emphasis on excellence in Chicago office reports to clients has a long tradition behind it. For a good many years it was the Chicago pattern to put as many staff accountants as possible through a training stage in the Report Department, during which they became familiar with all the steps necessary to produce finished reports. By doing comparing and proving, or having to cope with someone's unclear hand or imperfect draft, many Chicago staffmen gained a fresh understanding of the importance of being careful from the start. Being responsible for searching out discrepancies in names and figures, they sharpened their proofreading eyes. Dave Ringstad, supervisor of the department, and Maury Bax, assistant supervisor, are both former members of the audit staff who are certified public accountants. The work for which they are responsible consists of far more than the mechanical reproduction of reports—as some people mistakenly conceive of all report department work. Their experience and knowledge of current report requirements and format enable them to assist the professional staff as a reference library. As Art Schwertfeger puts it: "We rely on Dave and Maury, who are professional accountants, to review our reports for technical content, accuracy and completeness. Our Report Department serves as a backstop to our partners and principals in editing our reports. They are a checkpoint. For example, they might suggest some wording to insert in a report to make it comply fully with our APM, or with SEC regulations. They do much more than check names, dates and figures."

Andrea and Sam are one of a kind (or two of a kind?) – these incredibly kind people are some of my favorite wedding clients this year – I'm so excited about them! I recently photographed their cleveland engagement session, and the photography we created is incredible. I'm very proud to share a few of my very favorites from our recent engagement session. Sam & Andrea – you two are stellar in front of the camera – thanks for being so much fun!
So why the biking animation below? Sam & Andrea are committed cyclists, even championing charity causes with their love of the sport. When we were chatting about how I'd handle their creative engagement session photography, these two wanted some unique way of showing off their bikes, and I love the motion stop motion photography conveys!Some of my very favorite photos from their engagement session are the three artsy / romantic images below. These sorts of photographs make wonderful wall prints or even really cool save the date cards or wedding invitations.P.S. — I love the biking image below – perhaps my favorite from the session.Alright – I take it back – this is probably my favorite image from the session, the colors pop and its a sweet photograph!Yay for more fun biking stop motion animation photography This little set below of engagement session photographs is so fun. I love being able to capture peoples true love and emotions in my photographs, and the set below says SO much about Andrea and Sam. That's one of the lasting values of photography – it's ability to say a lot very quickly. Nothing will ever replace that.Towards the end of our session we found a really cool farm-house out in an open field. We had a ton of fun creating there, and snapped some really sweet photographs there. Andrea & Sam – I'm so excited to be your Cleveland wedding photographer this fall – the creative photography we'll make happen will be second to none. I'm thrilled to say the least!

Bat-killing Disease Spreads to Alabama, Putting Colonies of Endangered Gray Bats at Risk
BRIDGEPORT, Ala.— Wildlife officials announced today that a bat-killing disease that has wiped out nearly 7 million bats across the eastern United States over the past five winters has now spread to a new state, Alabama. The discovery of the disease in Alabama is particularly troubling to biologists because the state hosts the country's largest wintering colony of federally endangered gray bats. The species congregates in only a handful of caves within its range in the South and Midwest, and if it proves susceptible to the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome, it could be devastated in a short time.
"This is the southernmost appearance of white-nose syndrome so far — the disease is clearly moving down into warmer parts of the country," said Mollie Matteson, a bat specialist with the Center for Biological Diversity. "America's bats are in the throes of an unprecedented crisis that, without help from us, threatens to wipe some bat species off the face of the Earth."
Bats bearing the telltale signs of the disease — fuzzy white smudges on their muzzles — were discovered at Russell Cave, in Jackson County, in early March by biologists from Alabama A&M University and the National Park Service. Definitive diagnosis was made via lab analysis at the University of Georgia. The Russell Cave complex features several miles of passages, with entrances on both private land and the Russell Cave National Monument, operated by the National Park Service.
All of Alabama, but particularly northeast Alabama where the bat disease was discovered, is rich in caves and in bats. All of the six species affected by white-nose syndrome thus far are found in the state, including the federally endangered Indiana bat. Alabama joins 19 other states and four provinces as sites of the bat disease being either confirmed or suspected. While Alabama is the first new state this winter to document white-nose syndrome, the disease has been showing up in new locations in the South and Midwest over the last couple of months, including new counties in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. White-nose syndrome was discovered for the first time in all three states last year.
"White-nose syndrome has now infiltrated one of the most outstanding cave regions in the world, which historically has harbored amazing numbers of bats," said Matteson. "We probably have not seen the worst of this tragedy, and the famous caves of Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana and other parts of the central and southern areas of the country may never be the same again."
Before the bat disease showed up in Alabama, the spread of white-nose syndrome in Indiana and Kentucky was already deeply disturbing to biologists because the largest colonies of the Indiana bat are found in these states, as well as neighboring Missouri (where the disease-causing fungus was found on bats in 2010) and in southern Illinois.
White-nose syndrome was first documented in late winter 2006, in upstate New York. The disease rapidly spread throughout the Northeast. Bat mortality rates in affected caves and mines in that region have ranged from 70 percent to nearly 100 percent. This winter, biologists are finding that bats in West Virginia, where the disease struck in 2009, are also experiencing mortality rates greater than 90 percent.
Scientists have determined that the disease is caused by a previously unknown fungus, likely introduced by cave visitors from Europe. In Europe the fungus has been discovered on bats from France to Hungary, but it appears to do little to no harm to them.
"This disease is not slowing down, and it's not likely to be any less catastrophic for hibernating bats in Alabama and the Midwest than it has been for bats in the northeastern states," said Matteson. "White-nose syndrome has been an emergency from the beginning, but it's now a Category 5. Our government needs to put serious money and science into solving this disease storm before it's too late — not only for bats but for our crops and our farmers, who depend on bats for insect control."

PHOENIX — A wrong-way driver who killed an off-duty police officer in a head-on collision on a Phoenix-area freeway had a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit, authorities said today.
Officer Carrick Cook, an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman, said Raul Silva Corona's blood-alcohol content was 0.238 percent. A driver is presumed to be intoxicated in Arizona at 0.08 percent.
Corona, 42, collided with Mesa Police Officer Brandon Mendoza after driving 35 miles in the wrong direction on three freeways early Monday morning. At one point, a police officer had slowed traffic and tried to ram the SUV Corona was driving, but Corona swerved and continued on.
Mendoza, a 13-year veteran of the Mesa Police Department, was on his way home from work when he was killed.
Court records show that Corona pleaded guilty to a 1994 criminal conspiracy charge in Adams County, Colorado, and prosecutors dismissed charges of burglary, assault and leaving an accident scene. His sentence and more details about the charges against him weren't available.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Corona was a native of Chihuahua, Mexico, who had entered the United States without permission.
Corona's family members have said Corona had been drinking hours before the crash. Corona's two sons have said the family had spent part of Sunday together and they tried to stop their father from drunken driving that day by taking his keys, but he grabbed a spare set and left several hours before the crash.

Firt of all who cares what caliber the sniper is using its a game! and an awesome looking must have game at that! Second any veteran will tell you when taking fire a soldier will overestimate what type of fire he's taking, So a Taliban with an A.K. taking pop shots at you will all of a some become a sniper with a 50 cal shooting at you. (lol) Anyways I'm a big Battlefield fan and cant wait! I repeat cant FN wait for this game to be released!
Posted: March 22, 2011 2:04 PM -
Love how to sniper only shoots when the non-computer player is seen... and the sniper takes about 17 shots (that's a large clip). Also he doesn't hit anyone... I'm not hating on it by any means, just hope they take a look at the finer details closer to release.

Ugh. What a boring generation of gaming. New fad please.Posted: March 21, 2011 10:06 AM -
Excellent! Great looking trailer guys! Can't wait to get my hands on it!. It looks exceptionally realistic, the scenario was a scenario our guys encountered many ways and looked recreated with extreme attention to detail. Squad tactics were tight and gun models were exquisite as were the Sound FX and special HUD effects, bullets whizzing by. The destruction looked simply gorgeous. The bullet impacts I believe were realistic and the "neato" feature for me was when the one squad mate slides over the needed weapon. He didn't just pull it out of his ass like some sort of gun cabinet. Can't WAIT for this game.

I saw some footage of some Canadian Snipers in Afghanistan or Iraq or wherever an when a .50 cal hits a human it's like launching a garbage can full of guts, bone shards, blood and uniform pieces up in the air about 20ft. The little shots and pings in the video were like a kids .22 caliber target rifle. They should change the sound and environmental damage or change the voice dialog to say something about a "drunk Iraqi teenager shooting his varmint rifle at us."
Posted: March 16, 2011 8:04 PM -
Where does it say that its a .50 cal snipin? Im bettin thats a 7.62 round since thats the norm for those mid east countries.
Posted: March 16, 2011 8:04 PM -
Show me the console fotage, if itss like this then I will be impressed.
Posted: March 16, 2011 6:35 PM -
Lets hope the 13 year old CoD players don't come over to Battlefield and ruin the experience for us..
But anyways I was very impressed when the AT4 blew that building up.. Just beautiful..Posted: March 16, 2011 1:11 PM -
for what the game said "dude thats a Fing 50" that why i thought i was a 50 cal and like the guys said before that it the worst sniper in the world the very fist gut to pop his head up for a look should have beem shot hit whole head is above the cover
Posted: March 16, 2011 12:45 PM -
if every building blows up like that, im gonna destroy the entire middle east
Posted: March 16, 2011 12:32 PM -
if every building is destructable like that, then im gonna go around and destroy the entire middle east
Posted: March 16, 2011 12:30 PM -
i hate to ruin all ur silly complaints but watch it again the bullet tears thru the concrete he just was randomly firing into it so he didnt hit anyone
i mean yeah in real life he probably would have hit them all pretty easy but then if it worked out like real life it wouldnt have a story
im not gonnna speculate on what a bullet will do to a pipe ive never actually touched u have no clue its dimentionns honestly even the type of sniper nothin so its kinda pointless to try and pick apart a video that much
n prones kinda gay in mp ppl hide in dead bodys like punks
we all hate ending up in a match where thats how the entire team playsPosted: March 16, 2011 12:10 PM -
The pacing is dripping with tension! It looks delicious.
Posted: March 16, 2011 11:36 AM -
First, the sniper probably was armed with a Dragonov. Second, That AT 4 only has an effective range (accurate) up to 300 meters. It's warhead contains a shape charge which, more than likely, wouldn't bring down that building.

WAUSEON - Voters in Wauseon Exempted Village School District will be asked in May to renew a five-year emergency operating levy that collects $835,000 a year and they might be asked for a bond issue to build a middle school as soon as November.
The school board yesterday voted 4-0 to take the final step to put the levy, which would keep taxes near their current level, on the ballot. Board member Larry Fruth was absent.
The levy will be listed on the ballot at 4.29 mills, down from 4.8 mills when it was last renewed in May, 2001. That is because the total value of property in the school district has increased, according to the county auditor's last evaluation. But the district's collections from the levy will stay the same.
So a renewed levy would cost property owners slightly less than they have been paying. For the owner of a $100,000, owner-occupied home, renewing the levy would cost about $131 a year. Such a homeowner has been paying $147 a year.
The levy is part of the $997 a year in school district taxes collected on such a home. That would drop to $982 if the levy is renewed because of the auditor's higher valuation of property.
The total annual real estate tax bill for such a homeowner in the school district now ranges from a low of $1,498 in Dover Township to a high of $1,603 in Clinton Township. Those figures likewise would drop by about $15 a year if the levy would be renewed. If the levy would be denied, those figures would drop by $147.
The levy, which accounts for about 6 percent of the district's total general fund revenues, was first approved in 1991. The last vote to renew it in 2001 was overwhelming with 728 yes to 319 no.
The school board yesterday also agreed to pay the architectural firm Fanning & Howey of Celina, Ohio, up to $15,000 this year for work leading up to a bond issue request.
Whether the school board asks for a bond issue hinges largely on whether the Ohio School Facilities Commission puts the district on a list that it will assist with funds. Wauseon Superintendent Marc Robinson has said state leaders have told him the district has a "better than 50-50 chance" of getting on such a list this spring.
If that would happen, the school board might ask voters for a bond issue as soon as November. The district has a proposal to renovate Leggett Street Primary School and Wauseon High School and construct a new building for third through eighth grades - abandoning its Elm Street and Burr Road schools - at a cost of $36.5 million. The state facilities commission would be expected to pay about two-thirds of that.
To put together that proposal, formed from numerous community meetings, the district paid its architectural firm $15,000 last year.

NORTH BALTIMORE, Ohio - Village council fired Village Administrator Henry DeJulia pm Tuesday night, saying his abilities did not fit the southern Wood County village's needs.
Mr. DeJulia was hired in May, 2005, to replace former Administrator Ken Sauer, who resigned after four years on the job. Council's 4-2 decision to fire Mr. DeJulia came after a lengthy executive session.
Mayor Ned Sponsler said yesterday that Mr. DeJulia's experience primarily was in economic development, which North Baltimore needed, but council members felt he was not strong on personnel and project supervision and other duties required of him.
Mr. DeJulia, who was paid $48,171 a year, was not given a severance package, the mayor said.

The European Commission has 25 working days after a deal is filed for a first-stage review. It may extend that by 10 working days to 35 working days, to consider either a company's proposed remedies or an EU member state's request to handle the case.
Most mergers win approval but occasionally the Commission opens a detailed second-stage investigation for up to 90 additional working days, which it may extend to 105 working days.
Under the simplified procedure, the Commission announces the clearance of uncontroversial first-stage mergers without giving any reason for its decision. Cases may be reclassified as non-simplified -- that is, ordinary first-stage reviews -- until they are approved.

Daulerio5/28/08 5:00pmFiled to: ass playCarlos GuillenDetroit TigersMlb32EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkAnyone who's ever had the misfortune of being stricken with a dreaded hemorrhoid flare-up can attest to how painful it is. When it first appears, the general swamp ass-y, hiney spider feeling reaches about a "5" on the uncomforability scale. But the longer it lingers, it quickly shoots up to about an 11, rendering its victims unable to walk, so delerious with pain that they seriously consider jamming a tray full of ice cubes up inside themselves to make it go away.AdvertisementCarlos Guillen of the Detroit Tigers knows this feeling and his play is suffering because of it. And manager Jim Leyland will go out of his way to stick up for his players during their times of rectal crisis:"He can hardly move — he's got hemorrhoids so bad," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Tuesday. "He's been playing with hemorrhoids that probably need to be lanced. He probably shouldn't have been out there (third base on Monday)." Leyland said the hemorrhoids have been bothering Guillen for about four or five days, but they have gotten worse in the last few days. "He could hardly walk (Monday night)," Leyland said.However, Leyland should read this report from the Long Island Colon and Rectal surgeons which states that, "Lancing the hemorrhoid and squeezing out the clot, as performed by other doctors, does not produce reliable results."AdvertisementInstead, the report says that "rubber band ligation" is much more effective: "This procedure is simple and quick and is the most frequently performed to remove hemorrhoids. Using a specially designed ligator tiny elastic rings are applied to strangulate a hemorrhoid."Mooooon River....Guillen battling painful case of hemorrhoids [FreeP]Reply32 repliesLeave a reply

Thirty-two subsidized homes will be built in three central Toledo neighborhoods using, in part, $320,000 in federal funds allocated to the city, Mayor Jack Ford announced during a news conference yesterday in a vacant lot in the 2400 block of Auburn Avenue.
The homes will be lease-to-own, single-family dwellings to be built during the next year on vacant lots in the Auburn-Delaware, BUMA, and Lincoln-Robinson sections of the city, Mr. Ford and leaders of two community development agencies said.
Six will be built on or near Auburn on the north side of Monroe Street, 10 will be built in the Bancroft Street-Upton Avenue-Monroe-Auburn quadrant, and 16 are planned for Palmwood, Fernwood, and Lincoln avenues near Robinson School, leaders of the neighborhood corporations said.
Mayor Ford said the project, jointly sponsored by the Ottawa Community Development Corp. and the Toledo Central City Neighborhoods Development Corp., will continue an effort to distribute housing development aid in one big gigantic chunk rather than scattered throughout the city. We re not just trying to build homes, but transform neighborhoods, the mayor said.
The construction s total cost is projected at $5.75 million.

Weather forecast in Snaptu with AccuWeather.com
On the official website, Snaptu claims that this application will run on various mobile phones. In my estimation, minimum run properly on the smartphone types.
Snaptu is mobile phone application that serves as a container of other applications. If you install and run Snaptu, then you will find a variety of applications in it, such as: Facebook, Twitter, Picasa Web Albums, Weather Forecast (AccuWeather), News Feeds, and so on that could easily be added or deleted.
Before I ever tried Snaptu to Nokia Symbian 6120c. Then a few days ago I tried Snaptu for BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300. I am trying weather forecast application (accuweather.com) that are inside.
When using Weather Forecast application, you will be prompted for the name of a place. After that will be presented a variety of weather data on the site. Look at the picture above and beside.
Interested to trying?

Animals in India (not Leigh)
Trip Start
Aug 15, 2012
Trip End
Jan 10, 2013
Where I stayed
We didn't take any photos but they were everywhere. Not big dogs, just small ones. I am not sure of their breed not being a dog person. They were pretty skinny too and like all of the other animals feeding off the scraps that litter the roads everywhere. It was hard to know if they had owners to love them or not.
I remember walking along to visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar passing many dogs along the way thinking back to our travel vaccine conversation with our doctor... he said "you won't be going near stray dogs will you? otherwise you'll need a rabies vaccination" and we said "no, no way". Hhhmmmm. Honestly thought, it wasn't a problem, they fight amongst themselves, probably for food but ignore humans.
Elephants are not just animals but they also call the trucks with extremely heavy loads of straw elephants and they do look like elephants on the road (see attached pic). They look so dangerous but how heavy can a load of straw be? Elephants, horses, donkeys & camels along with cows and bulls are used to cart, carry and drag all manner of things. There is still so much done without machines in the parts of India we saw. We did have a couple of opportunities to experience being carted around by animals but we politely declined. They smell.
I have never seen as many pigeons in suburban areas as I have in northern India! They circle around looking for food and I guess they are there because there is plenty to find. Venice has a bad reputation for pigeons and sea gulls but it has nothing on what we have seen here.
I have never liked animals much but you can't help but feel sorry for the ones we have seen. Their lives are pretty dam tough, as tough as the people around them.
Cows are are sacred as you know but they are not just farmed for their milk which is used in milk, cheese, butter, clarified butter (ghee) and so many dishes but there are other uses for cows and their by-products:
- When a Hindu baby turns one there is a big ceremony whereby along with inviting family, friends and a priest along to celebrate fresh urine from the cow needs to be collected to pour over the babies forehead. Our driver told us a funny story about chasing around after a random cow waiting until it did a wee. He doesn't own one himself so he had to stalk others. It is a very expensive ceremony by the sounds of it.
- When a cow comes by your house (and of course you let her go wherever she likes in or out of your house) you bend at her feet, offer thanks, food and pray. All people feed the cows, I am surprised they are not fatter. It is against the law to hurt a cow.
- Dung or shit as the Indians call it. People collect it and store it in big ornate piles to use in the winter months for burning. People who can afford it wrap the piles in straw to protect it from the weather but we saw them stamped with ornate patterns as wll. Leigh asked the obvious question "doesn't it smell" to which our driver replied "yeah to you, but it keeps the Mosquitos away". Perfect.
- Dung is also used to mix up with dirt to cover houses as an insect repellent.
- I have also heard of dung being used to 'disinfect' dining tables after a meal is finished.
- A cow is considered equivalent to one's Mother or Goddess by many Hindus.

Genetic Algorithms in Applications
Edited by Rustem Popa, ISBN 978-953-51-0400-1, 328 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published March 21, 2012 under CC BY 3.0 license
Edited Volume
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are one of several techniques in the family of Evolutionary Algorithms - algorithms that search for solutions to optimization problems by "evolving" better and better solutions. Genetic Algorithms have been applied in science, engineering, business and social sciences. This book consists of 16 chapters organized into five sections. The first section deals with some applications in automatic control, the second section contains several applications in scheduling of resources, and the third section introduces some applications in electrical and electronics engineering. The next section illustrates some examples of character recognition and multi-criteria classification, and the last one deals with trading systems. These evolutionary techniques may be useful to engineers and scientists in various fields of specialization, who need some optimization techniques in their work and who may be using Genetic Algorithms in their applications for the first time. These applications may be useful to many other people who are getting familiar with the subject of Genetic Algorithms.

Celtics Enjoying New Summer League Format
WALTHAM, Mass. – The Boston Celtics will tip off their Orlando Pro Summer League schedule at 11 a.m. on Saturday when they take on the Miami Heat. Boston is participating in the league for the fifth consecutive offseason, excluding the lockout year of 2011, but this visit to the Sunshine State will be much different than the previous four.
Orlando's league had essentially operated under the same schedule for the first 12 years of its existence. The league would operate from Monday through Friday and each participating team would play either four or five games.
That cramped schedule led to an issue that coaches despised: lack of practice time. The only option teams had was to fly to Orlando early, rent a gym for practice and pay for transportation to and from that gym. The Celtics typically flew down to Orlando a few days early and practiced at Rollins College.
Players also took issue with the format. Five consecutive game days is draining in its own right. Toss in the fact that the majority of these summer league players are fighting for jobs and you have an extremely challenging week for them, to say the least.
The Magic, who host the event each year, are doing their best to alleviate these issues in 2014. They have drastically altered the format of the league, and the feedback is already positive.
This year's league will run from Saturday, July 5 through Friday, July 11. That's seven days instead of the typical five. Each team will play five games, with two off days scattered over the first six days of the schedule.
The Celtics have already taken advantage of the new schedule by practicing three days in a row at their own practice facility in Waltham, Mass. They will fly on Friday to Orlando.
"I like it a lot," Celtics summer league head coach Jay Larranaga said of the league's new format. "It's nice. It's a little more comfortable. It's less travel time between each practice for the players so they're able to get off their feet quicker. There's just a comfort level, I think, for everybody. So it's been very positive so far."
Rest and recovery aren't the only reasons why practicing in Boston is a benefit. All of the team's young players have the opportunity each day to pick the brains of Brad Stevens, Danny Ainge and any Celtics veterans who make their way through the practice facility. They can also soak in the culture of the organization. Those options simply don't exist every day while the team is on the road in Orlando.
"That's big time, especially for someone like Marcus (Smart) and James (Young)," said Jared Sullinger, who is one of the veterans who's been around the team this week. "You get to see your practice facility for the next so-and-so years. On top of that, looking at all of these banners, looking at the history, it's always helpful."
Sullinger also noted that having two off-days in Orlando will be a huge positive for all of the players involved in the league. That fact is particularly important for players who intend to play in the Las Vegas Summer League as well. Their bodies will be much fresher than they would have been after five consecutive game days.
Players won't complain about that, and coaches won't complain about practicing in their own gym leading up to summer league. The new format is certainly conducive to the goals of everyone involved.

The House of Representatives passed a short-term increase to the debt limit on Tuesday afternoon.
With no amendments, the bill will suspend the federal borrowing limit until May 18, with a provision adding that if Congress does not adopt a budget by April 15, their pay will be temporarily suspended. The GOP is using this as an opportunity to negotiate for long-sought spending cuts ahead of the sequester, due in March.
The decision to vote on the measure unwound a lot of tension in the markets, but Washington's financial uncertainty is still one of the biggest concerns for investors. A Bloomberg survey shows that nearly half of global investors are restricting their investments because of the risk that political dysfunction poses to the markets. A growing number of participants are citing the debt ceiling tension as their number one concern.
But good news these days comes in the form of cooperation on Capitol Hill. President Barack Obama is reportedly likely to sign the measure if it makes it to his desk. Democratic leaders who control the Senate have expressed begrudging support for the idea. The party would like a longer-term solution, but recognizes that if they don't give the GOP this opportunity to negotiate for spending cuts, the alternative could mean another last-minute solution. With memories of fiscal cliff drama still fresh, most policymakers appear willing to accept the deal…

Foreign Office, S.W.1 21st, September, 1945. Dear Sir Walter With reference to your letter of September 17th regarding the arrest in Spain of Santiago Alvarez and Sebastian Zapirain, I write to say that instructions have already been sent to His Majesty's Ambassador in Spain to investigate the matter and, if circumstances appear to warrant it, to make appropriate representations to the Spanish Government. The Ambassador has also been asked to warn the Spanish Government of the unfavourable impression which would be made if these two men were to be executed on a political charge. Yours sincerely Ernest Bevin. Sir Walter Citrine, K.B.E. Trades Union Congress.

A couple of weeks ago, a pair of Canadian geese took up residence in a pond in the field behind our house.
They appeared to be happy, squawking and swimming and trying to avoid the four longhorns who were there first.
The longhorns do not like company – save for a few birds and my husband Bud when he feeds them. We once had a problem with stray dogs and coyotes prowling the field. Those cows – with their frightfully long horns and attitude to match – have taken care of the situation.

Review: The Glenlivet XXV
July 31st, 2008This is the third review in as many days of really great whiskies. I have one more supurb whiskey to tell you about, which I'll post up tomorrow. (And yes, that's whiskey with an "e" for tomorrow's review.)
The Glenlivet XXV, 25 year old, 43%, $350
Finished in first-fill sherry casks for two years. My feeling on any whisky finished in a different cask is this: it should give as much to the flavor profile than it takes away. In this instance, I feel it has. And more. It's not as nimble as younger versions, but the sherry, along with the extra aging, contributes a silky texture and a richer, fuller dimension to the whisky. I can still detect some of the peach, vanilla, tropical fruit and honeyed malt I enjoy in younger expressions, but its key flavor components are toffee, honey-dipped citrus, red licorice, chocolate covered almonds and fig, along with dried spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, mint tea) that emerges on the palate and peaks on the finish. The flavors are seamless and elegantly balanced.
