Banana-Bran Muffins 86 By the end of the week, any bananas left in the fruit bowl are past their prime--just right for these moist bran muffins. Add a handful of dark chocolate chips to entice children to enjoy a fiber-rich treat.
Multi-Grain Waffles 58 Traditional waffles are a butter-laden, high-carb indulgence, but they make the transition to good fats and smart carbs beautifully, yielding crisp, nutty-tasting waffles with all the sweet pleasure of the original. The batter can also be used for pancakes.
Honey Oat Quick Bread 56 This honey-oat bread has a pleasant flavor and divinely moist, tender crumb. It requires minimal mixing and cleanup, calls for ingredients usually stocked in the pantry, and is tasty yet healthful. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.
Lemon-Raspberry Muffins 53 The secret to the sparkling flavor of these delicately crumbed muffins is the strips of lemon zest finely ground into the sugar. Enjoy the muffins warm right from the oven.
Honey- & Goat Cheese-Filled Fig Muffins 50 Sweet figs and a filling of tangy goat cheese give a surprising twist to these hearty breakfast muffins. Make a batch of these on the weekend and enjoy them for breakfast all week long. If you're not a fan of goat cheese, try them with cream cheese instead.
Savory Breakfast Muffins 47 If you're tired of sweet breakfast muffins or just looking for a savory breakfast, try these--you'll love the smoky flavor from the Canadian bacon and the fresh-tasting combination of red bell pepper and scallions.
Blueberry-Ricotta Pancakes 34 Serve these light pancakes with our Chunky Blueberry Sauce, maple syrup or honey. Sprinkling the berries on top of the cooking pancakes ensures even distribution. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven, if desired, while cooking the rest.
Blueberry-Maple Muffins 32 Whole-wheat flour and flaxseeds give these maple syrup-sweetened blueberry muffins a delicious, nutty flavor. Compared to a traditional version of the recipe, they have four times the dietary fiber and substitute healthful monounsaturated fat (canola oil) for saturated fat (butter).
Banana-Blueberry Buttermilk Bread 31 The slight acidity of buttermilk tenderizes and moistens baked goods while allowing you to cut way back on butter or oils. Here, it also lends a slight tanginess to the winning combination of bananas and blueberries. To make muffins instead, see Muffin Variation.
Whole-Wheat Irish Soda Bread 23 Soda breads are hearty Irish staples--wholemeal flour with large flakes of bran and wheat germ, or white flour or a mixture leavened with baking soda and moistened with buttermilk. The acid in the buttermilk reacts with the baking soda, which is an alkali, creating bubbles of carbon dioxide which rise the bread. Soda breads have the heft of a yeast bread but are made in minutes and the dough can be shaped into scones or a round loaf, depending on the occasion. Originally it would have been baked in a bastible (pot oven) over the open fire.
Blueberry-Coconut-Macadamia Muffins 23 The one-two punch of coconut and macadamia nuts in this luxurious muffin will make you think you're having your morning coffee in Hawaii. Drizzle with honey for an added touch of sweetness.
Strawberry-Orange Muffins 23 We love the combination of strawberry and orange in this sweet breakfast muffin with a streusel topping. For a less conventional (but equally delicious) twist, try the basil variation. The hint of basil complements the fruity berries wonderfully.
Coconut-Carrot Morning Glory Muffins 22 These carrot-flecked, whole-grain morning glory muffins can be made ahead for breakfast or a snack so you can hit the ground running on a busy morning. Add a nonfat latte and your day will be off to a healthy start. Or make this coconut-carrot morning glory muffin recipe for a special brunch. Look for coconut oil, in jars or tubs, near other cooking oils in large supermarkets, in the natural-foods section, or in natural-foods stores.
Pineapple Upside-Down Muffins 21 Glistening like sticky buns, these unusual muffins are packed with wholesome ingredients--vegetables, fruit and whole grains--so you can feel good about serving them to your family. If you prefer to make simple carrot muffins for lunchboxes or breakfasts-on-the-go, omit the topping; sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped nuts over the muffins before baking, if desired.
Seeded Multigrain Boule 21 Not only is this seeded loaf high in fiber, but the blend of seeds and grains lends it a wonderfully nutty flavor, aroma and texture. A heavy container with a tight-fitting lid works best, as the steam trapped inside the pot helps crisp the crust of the boule. Keep in mind that in a very wide-bottomed pot the loaf will spread out and be fairly flat; in a taller, narrower one it will be thicker and have more height (but may take slightly longer to bake).
Banana-Nut-Chocolate Chip Quick Bread 20 This banana quick bread is full of chocolate chips and toasted heart-healthy walnuts so you get a taste of nuts and chocolate in each bite. This version reduces the fat substantially and uses nonfat buttermilk to make the results extremely moist and tender.
Banana-Blueberry Muffins 20 The slight acidity of buttermilk tenderizes and moistens baked goods while allowing you to cut way back on butter or oils. Here, it also lends a slight tanginess to the winning combination of bananas and blueberries.
Cranberry-Apple Coffee Cake 19 This coffee cake calls for a tart apple, such as a Granny Smith or a Pippin, combined with cranberries and spices to make a beautiful topping for a delicious treat festive enough for any brunch. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.
Pumpkin Bread 18 Canned pumpkin puree and whole-wheat flour come together in this healthy homemade pumpkin bread. The canned pumpkin helps keep the bread moist and tender. If you like the flavor of pumpkin pie spice, feel free to add a pinch or two to season the bread.
Chocolate Zucchini Bread 18 In this recipe remake, we replaced much of the oil with fruit-based fat replacement, reduced the amount of unsweetened chocolate but added cocoa powder and used half as many nuts but toasted them for maximum flavor. The result retained the original's tender crumb and rich, chocolaty flavor with only one-third the fat.

Recorded by Jimmie Davis in 1940 with Decca, "You Are My Sunshine" quickly garnered worldwide appreciation. When I was growing up, it was my favourite song, and most likely my sister's, and now it's my niece's. I remember asking my mom what the song was about, and she said it was about the singer's husband going off to war. Surprised, I confessed I always thought it was about a mother having her child taken away. She readily admitted she'd actually made up that explanation on the spot.
Unbeknownst to me, however, I had only ever heard a loop of the first two stanzas. It wasn't until I started researching for this node that I found out it had another two verses I'd never heard. They, despite the song being regularly described as "inspirational", clearly describe a heartbroken lover being left for another. After that, there are two stanzas that were added extolling Louisiana's virtues (enabling it to be named a state song).
Jimmie Davis bought the rights for "You Are My Sunshine" from Paul Rice (who may have bought from someone else) for between fifteen dollars and five hundred dollars. He recorded a version in 1931, but it didn't catch on until his 1940 version. It would go on to sell a million copies, be named King George VI's favourite song, be recorded over 350 times by various artists, be translated into 30 different languages, and be named one of country music's most recognized songs.
Maybe I'm a revisionist, but I won't start singing "But now you've left me / And love another / You have shattered all my dreams". I'll sing it to my niece the way my mother sang it to me.
You'll never know, dear How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.

If you loved Twin Peaks, American Gods or Illuminatus! you'll like this cartoon. If on the other hand, you have a misguided "respect" for "beliefs" that "might, after all, be true" regarding Freemasonry, conspiracy theories, or other subjects covered by Dan Brown or the X-Files, or are easily upset by the display of (purportedly) occult symbolism, pyramids, goats, owls, cryptozoology, and the like, you will probably run screaming to your email program to petition the Disney Channel to take this piece of dangerous programming off the air.
Which will be a shame, since you'll be missing out on a wickedly funny little series from the people who brought you "The Wonderful Misadventures of Flapjack".
Dipper and Mabel, 12-year-old twins,have been sent to Grand-Uncle ("Grunkle") Stan's in Gravity Falls, Oregon on Summer vacation to "get some time outdoors". Which they'll get…if and when he decides to let them have some free time away from the cash register. You see, he, growing bored and needing a little spare cash, turned the first floor of his A-frame into The Mystery Shack, a roadside attraction and gift shop full of unmysterious mysteries, fake fossils, stuff (including lots of eyes) in jars, and a free-range goat. He carries a walking stick with an 8-ball knob, wears a fez and an eyepatch (which he switches sides on at will), and never seems to get a close shave. Mitigating his efforts to run a tight ship is Zeus (spelled "Soos"), his way-cool handyman, and Wendy, 15 year old Hot Chick. There are the usual middle-school obsessions -- first crushes, Queen Bees, trying to grow up fast while still unsure what that is, differing growth …and then…
Well, there's a whole lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. For one thing, the place is infested, simply crawling, with Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers. And there are gnomes living in the hills. Dipper found a book (labeled "3") full of lore about the town, that mysteriously trails off. And then, let's see…Gideon the Kid Psychic. A haunted convenience store. Mabel's Asian girlfriend, into trans-humanism. Mechanical sea monsters in inland lakes. Strange locals. A butch girl, who might be a lesbian. Vengeful wax figures. Cabalistic cyphers. Nonstop Illuminati references. Psychedelic Swiss candy. Dimensional distortion crystals. Time paradoxes. Doppel-, triple- and decagangers (including a Paper Jam). Alternate American histories. And then, Grunkle isn't quite what he seems…
Conspiracy theorists (you know, the ones that claim Lady Gaga is the Whore of Babylon because she sometimes poses with one eye covered) are in a firestorm of speculation. How can they, how dare they, include this material on a children's show? And…why do they get so much right, and yet…mock the lore that only a few (outside of the Bilderburgs, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve and a whole lot of slightly hysterical websites) would have any business knowing? Are they getting things under the radar, or not-so-subtly pushing a not-so-hidden agenda? Or is it just that they're skeptical enough to mine the rich vein of lore these self-appointed experts love to quote, and, like the Friday the Thirteenth parties where people enter under ladders, dine under a canopy of open umbrellas and freely cavort with black cats, simply don't care that some people consider owls to be a symbol of death, circles inscribed in triangles are symbolic of the New World Order, and that five-pointed stars are a Christian symbol of evil.. a Pagan symbol of good...well, let's say they've gotten so overladen with "mystical" interpretations lately that they might as well be meaningless.
Art style is a little less cute than Flapjack, and not so much American Federalist (but still manages a good Pioneer style now and then). Scarier than most Disney (you're going to hear the word "dead" used a lot…and were those sheep shears going to cut out Dipper's tongue?) but less so than a lot of classic fairy tales. Kids will love learning about cryptography -- there's a secret message in every set of credits. You're going to like this one…if they get to do a second season….

bouncers and bee-stings - what a contrast
Body Exam
The contrast between XLGirls megastar Renee Ross and 18eighteen babe Sophia Sutra is startling. Their previous motel room sex party was pretty wild. They used tongues, nipples and toys to get their dripping wet cookies off in power-orgasms and they showed everyone a hot time. These pictures match-up Renee and Sophia's physiques in a straightforward way so you can really note the extreme pathways that nature sometimes takes when it hands out the anatomical equipment. There have been several memorable match-ups in the past, the closest to this being Kerry Marie and Missy in 2004 which is archived here on XLGirls. This body comparison is just as jaw-dropping. They had fun doing this and the smiles on their faces is the proof. Renee can lift and carry Sophie like a doll. Sophia was breastnotized by Renee's enormous hooters. Finding another pair like those treasures is unlikely!

Here we have a couple the wonderfully sculpted and presented new 28mm Akkadian chariots from Cutting Edge. Photo not as clear I would like but army shots to come later (basic Impetus size).
I chose yellow to make them look different form the usually seen red Sumerian chariots. These are the chariots from the time of Sargon the Great who crushed the Sumerians and created the first known Empire in the Near East. Sargon did like a good battle.

Former closer Boggs non-tendered by Rockies
Infielder Herrera, relievers Lopez and Outman offered 2014 contracts
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
DENVER -- The Rockies non-tendered right-handed relief pitcher Mitchell Boggs on Monday, making the onetime closer a free agent.
Boggs, 29, who went a combined 0-3 with a 8.10 ERA with the Cardinals and the Rockies and spent time in Triple-A in 2013, was the only arbitration-eligible player the Rockies decided to non-tender. The club offered 2014 contracts to infielder Jonathan Herrera, right-handed reliever Wilton Lopez and left-handed reliever Josh Outman.
The Rockies acquired Boggs from the Cardinals for cash on July 9, after Boggs had struggled mightily with the Cards -- 0-3, 11.05 ERA in 18 games, which included a 2-for-5 performance in save opportunities. At the time of the deal, Boggs was pitching at Triple-A Memphis. He also saw time at Colorado Springs with the Rockies.
Herrera has held down the utility infielder job since 2010. Last season, he posted career highs in batting average (.292) and slugging percentage (.364).
Lopez, who joined the Rockies last winter in a trade with the Astros, went 3-4 with a 4.06 ERA in a team-leading 75 appearances in 2013.
Outman was 3-0 with a 4.33 ERA in a career-high 61 relief appearances.
The decision left the Rockies with 37 players on their Major League roster, three short of the limit.

Last year, Miles Thomas, creator and owner of Scrappy's Bitters, shared his recipe for "Romance", a cocktail based on strawberry syrup. We waited until strawberry season to run it, so you could get the best flavor from the strawberries. And while Romance may at first seem more suited for Valentine's day, roses are just making their last appearance for a bit as well, so if you like roses and strawberries, the time for romance is now! –Kristina
About Miles: Miles Thomas, creator and owner of Scrappy's Bitters has always been a strong advocate of fresh ingredients in cocktails. At the time, few bars in Seattle were taking the time to even use fresh squeezed juices in their drinks. During his three and a half years bartending at Seattle's Italian eatery Serafina, Miles worked diligently to make his own infusions, liquors and syrups from scratch. Soon, Miles moved on to experimenting with a wide variety of bitters using his previous knowledge of infusions, and expanding on a very basic bitters recipe. Thus, Scrappy's Bitters was born. The motivation to expand his love for creating bitters came from the knowledge that there was a better and tastier way to do bitters.
See what else is in Romance after the jump.
- 1/2 oz Strawberry syrup
- 1/4oz Campari
- 1/2oz English Dry Gin
- 2-3 dashes of Scrappy's Orange Bitters
Strawberry syrup
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
Bring sugar and 3/4 water to a boil then add one cup chopped fresh strawberries, turn off heat and let simmer for 15 minuets covered. strain, cool and bottle.
Make the cocktail
Shake all ingredients (except sparkling wine) and strain into a flute, top off with sparkling wine.
While Miles loves this recipe
It's the perfect balance of my 3 favorite characteristics in a drink – sweet, bitter, and bubbly.
How did you know it was my fifth wedding anniversary today? This bartender clearly loves to eat and drink.
Mmm, looks delicious – the perfect summer rooftop drink.
Mmm. Strawberry syrup. This looks and sounds delightful. I love bubbly cocktails, and fruity cocktails that actually taste like fruit and not overly sweet ridiculousness. I'm just missing the Campari.
How long will the strawb. syrup keep?
Definitely need to sketch this down and try it out soon.
Sounds so yummy! Thanks for posting this, we're always on the lookout for a fun, new cocktail to try!
This looks divine – I have been looking forward to trying The Botanist gin – and with strawberry syrup and sparkling wine….ahhhhhhhhh.
Love this, will definitely try this one. Thanks!

In this article, I will present a generic, dynamic and type-safe implementation of an IComparer<T> object.
The type safety is manifested in several aspects, as the compiler performs checks to verify that the properties that compose the sort order meet the following requirements:
Using the code is a matter of instantiating a DynamicComparer<T> object, and calling its SortOrder method to specify the order of properties used in the comparison. Here is a code example (the key lines are highlighted):
public class Person { public Person(string firstName, string lastName, int age) { FirstName = firstName; LastName = lastName; Age = age; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } public override string ToString() { return FirstName + " " + LastName + ", " + Age; } } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var comp = new DynamicComparer<Person>(); Person[] ppl = new Person[] { new Person("Aviad","P.",35), new Person("Goerge","Smith",33), new Person("Harry","Burke",30), new Person("Harry","Smith",20), new Person("George","Harrison",19) }; comp.SortOrder(x => x.FirstName, x => x.LastName, x => x.Age); Demo(comp, ppl); comp.SortOrder(x => x.FirstName, x => x.Age, x => x.LastName); Demo(comp, ppl); comp.SortOrder(x => x.Age); Demo(comp, ppl); } private static void Demo(DynamicComparer<Person> comp, Person[] ppl) { Console.WriteLine(comp); Console.WriteLine("------------------------"); Array.Sort(ppl, comp); PrintPeople(ppl); } private static void PrintPeople(Person[] ppl) { foreach (var p in ppl) Console.WriteLine(p); } }
Note how the sort order is specified as a list of lambda expressions, that is the main factor in the type safety of this class.
The magic is done by using lambda expressions in combination with expression trees to force the compiler to conduct the necessary checks at compile time to make sure everything is ok.
Here is the implementation of the SortOrder method:
public void SortOrder(params Expression<Func<T, IComparable>>[] sortProperties) { sortOrder.Clear(); sortOrderNames.Clear(); sortOrder.AddRange(sortProperties.Select(x => x.Compile())); sortOrderNames.AddRange(sortProperties.Select(x => GetNameFromExpression(x))); }
Note that it expects to get a series of lambda expressions that accept an object of the type being compared, and return an IComparable. When this function is called, the compiler makes sure that the lambda expressions used meet these criteria. It will issue an error (and indeed, will prevent the error if intellisense is followed) if we try to reference a nonexistent property, or if the property we reference cannot be cast into IComparable. Also it will make sure that the property is accessible in terms of public/private accessibility.
Here is the implementation of the Compare method:
public int Compare(T x, T y) { foreach (var l in sortOrder) { int c = l(x).CompareTo(l(y)); if (c != 0) return c; } return 0; }
Note that we are simply going over the compiled lambda expressions in order, and using them to retrieve the property values from the two operands to be compared. Then we call IComparable.CompareTo on the values returned, and if the result tells us the values are different, we return the difference, otherwise, we keep looking for one, and return 0 if none is found.
There is another overload of the SortOrder method which accepts a sequence of strings, this is not the recommended way of using this class, but it is there for those who need it, and for educational value. Here is the implementation:
public void SortOrder(params string[] sortProperties) { string err = sortProperties.FirstOrDefault(x => uncomparable.Contains(x)); if (err != null) throw new InvalidOperationException ("Property '" + err + "' does not implement IComparable"); err = sortProperties.FirstOrDefault(x => !properties.ContainsKey(x)); if (err != null) throw new InvalidOperationException("Property '" + err + "' does not exist"); sortOrder.Clear(); sortOrderNames.Clear(); sortOrder.AddRange(sortProperties.Select(x => properties[x])); sortOrderNames.AddRange(sortProperties); }
Here we make a few run time checks, and throw exceptions in some cases. This is why this is the "unsafe" way of using this class, since the compiler will not be able to warn us in time about these cases. Note that once we determine that a property is valid to be used for sorting, we retrieve its lambda function from a mysterious properties dictionary. This dictionary is composed at the constructor, in which we use reflection to go over each property and prepare a lambda expression to retrieve it. Here is the implementation of the constructor:
public DynamicComparer() { var ps = typeof(T).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy); foreach (var p in ps) { // Only consider properties whose type is comparable (implements IComparable). if (!typeof(IComparable).IsAssignableFrom(p.PropertyType)) { // Save the names of uncomparable properties for later reference // in case an attempt is made to sort by them. uncomparable.Add(p.Name); continue; } ParameterExpression pe = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "x"); MemberExpression me = Expression.MakeMemberAccess(pe, p); Expression<Func<T, IComparable>> le; if (!p.PropertyType.IsValueType) { le = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, IComparable>>(me, pe); } else { UnaryExpression ue = Expression.Convert(me, typeof(IComparable)); le = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, IComparable>>(ue, pe); } var f = le.Compile(); properties[p.Name] = (Func<T, IComparable>)f; } }
Note the clever usage of Expression objects to construct a suitable lambda expression to retrieve each property, and taking care to accommodate for whether the property is a value type or a reference type. Value type properties require an explicit conversion to IComparable.
A performance issue exists if any of the properties that compose the sort order are value types, as they will be boxed during comparisons. This might or might not be an issue for you, but nevertheless, it's there.
Another performance issue is the overhead of performing a method call for the retrieval of each property; there are two such method calls per comparison. This increases the time taken to compare roughly by a factor of 2, but that depends on the specific circumstances of the comparison (the sort order, the values of the properties, and whether they are value types or reference types).
Note, that in spite of the above performance issues, this comparer is still faster than LINQ's OrderBy operator roughly by a factor of 2, so it is still twice as fast to use over LINQ, in case performance is an issue, but flexibility is to be maintained.
In the download for this article, there are benchmarking methods that show the difference in performance between a hard coded comparer (the fastest way), the dynamic comparer, and LINQ.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Health
- - Homoeopathic remedies?
Homoeopathic remedies? Does anyone have any experience with homoeopathic remedies? Horses that couldn't be cured by vet's, cured by homoeopaths? Natural remedies as supposed to chemical remedies? I need your stories. Please help. If any members are homoeopaths please PM me. |
I've researched them a bit for a class and I don't believe in them at all. They are insanely diluted to a point where they have no effect, and some have none of the original ingredient at all. There is no data to back up the effect of homeopathic medicine vs plain water or a sugar pill. IMO it's a waste of money, I would focus on other things to help a horse like eating and exercise schedule and quality. |
Need the stories for what? I've had a number of animals 'saved' by homeopathy when the veterinary community had nothing to offer and expected death. What is your current problem? |
By the time he was diagnosed, her vet and farrier gave the horse less than 50-50 chance of survival. She absolutely could not afford the very expensive drugs required for the horse, so with nothing to lose, took the natural route. That was last summer. Last week, the horse stood for the first time "on his own", no wobbling, no shaking, no having to lean against the barn for support, to have the farrier trim him; he is kept barefoot. It is still in question to what degree the nerve damage will ultimately repair itself, but it has already repaired itself beyond everyone's expectations. It goes without saying that the physical and emotional time this woman spent to "will" this horse to get better was above and beyond what many people would be willing to do; not to mention being "pooh-pooh'd" by the traditional scientific community. The word "diluted" was mentioned with regard to homeopathic products. That word exists in traditional medicinal products as well. I would never buy a product with fillers in it. My senior horses are on arthritis meds that are phamarceutical grade, NOT animal grade. There are some things in life that we get what we pay for. Healing products are some of them. Buy certified organic, pharmaceutical grade, and whatever-other words are out there that guarantee the product-in-question has not been diluted:-) |
I realize this is hard for some people to wrap their brains around, but those who have been open to the idea of something 'more', can attest they do indeed work. Whether you, or others believe is of no consequence to the rest of us. :wink: |
i have heard a lot of them say crazy things that make me think: WOW, im glad i have common sense. if i had compeletly nothing to lose, then maybe i woud turn to them. but only AFTER i went to as many vets as possible. personally, i have given them a chance, i really have. but hearing them say some things and listening to everything,i have lost all faith in them. |
Traditionally we don't treat our ailments, we treat the symptoms of our ailments. I think the dilution is the whole point. Homeopathics treat the disease with the same substance that could have caused the problem, but in a minute form. They use the minute form because it is believed that in that potency healing can be stimulated. (Kind of reminds me of vaccines a bit.) I wish that my trainer could voich for this thread. She has an arsenal of info of homeopathy, and her training approach is even holistic. Here I am reading Chinese medicine books and practicing Tai Chi when I thought I was "just training my horse" but I swear to God it has improved my relationship with my horse as well as my whole way of being. |
I dont understand what these are. can someone explain? is it like horse vodoo? |
I haven't been able to get onto the forum for a while, sorry :( Thank you very much to all :) |
Homeopathic or naturopathic? I've had great success with both. However, I've always combined treatment with traditional veterinary care. For example, our racehorses get a variety of different natural supplements (brewers yeast, Hawaiian sea salt, apple cider vinegar, aloe vera, kale, calcium citrate etc, etc) They also receive naturopathic treatments such as chiropractic, accupuncture and massage. We are looking into an osteopath as well. While we have great success with these treatments, we don't abandon veterinary care - if we have a lame horse that need it's knees done, or a horse in distress, you bet we call the vet or give the shot. I look after my own health this way, and it has been great. I especially like osteopaths. They are amazing! |

If you plan to kill more than one of the kings, you will need all three attack styles as they are all immune to two of the three, with Rex being immune to Melee and Ranged. However, even if you're planning on killing just one king, you should still bring all three styles in case one or both of the other kings spots you and needs to be killed.
It is possible to repeatedly kill just one of the kings without the other two attacking you as each king tends to stick to one area of the island and won't spot you unless you wander into their area or stand in the middle. To kill Rex, you should wait until Prime and Supreme have walked away from the middle and lure him to the southeast side of the island to prevent being spotted by the other two. There are various safespots found on the island that allow you to kill Rex without being hit and therefore he is the easiest of the kings to kill.
Wearing Fremmenik sea boots 4 while fighting the kings will increase your damage by 10% (5% for abilities) and note some of their drops.

Sony has reportedly released version 3.0 firmware for the Sony PSP in Japan, and although details are sketchy so far, its claim to fame is its tight integration with Sony's impossible-to-get PlayStation 3 console. Using its WiFi capabilities, the new firmware lets you access images and music on a PS3, and lets you use the PSP as a remote play device for the PS3. The firmware is also able to accommodate a forthcoming add-on camera, and lets you toggle a function that causes a game to automatically load when you insert a UMD.AdvertisementTake a look at the image here and more pics after the jump, and you'll see that this is apparently a Japanese version of the firmware upgrade.Update: The 3.0 update is available via the Network Update feature on the PSP now.This image was lost some time after publication.

The 2013 Carnegie International has deservedly received the lion's share of attention since its Oct. 5 opening, but there are other excellent arts offerings in the city featuring artists of high caliber. One of those is "Clayton Days Revisited: A Project by Vik Muniz" at the Frick Art Museum through Oct. 27.
Brazilian-born and New York City-based, Mr. Muniz was the first artist-in-residence at the Frick Art & Historical Center in 1999. The decision to sponsor a living artist was controversial given that the center was founded to conserve Clayton, the Gilded Age home of 19th-century industrialist Henry Clay Frick and his family, and an art collection drawn from the 13th to 18th centuries.
The staff, looking for ways to make the institution contemporarily relevant, decided to invite a photographer as its inaugural artist. At the time, Linda Benedict-Jones, now Carnegie Museum of Art curator of photography, was curator of education at the Frick.
They reasoned the medium "would be easy -- simple and clean," said Sarah Hall, Frick director of curatorial affairs. "Little did we realize the project would involve 27 costumed people and two rented ponies."
Mr. Muniz's "Clayton Days," comprising 65 photographs exhibited at the Frick in 2000, was a critical and conceptual success. That series is presented in a new configuration along with 10 works made since by Mr. Muniz including the entire "Pictures of Garbage" series, an impetus for the 2010 documentary film and Academy Award nominee "Wasteland."
Ms. Hall made her remark while introducing Mr. Muniz, who entranced a sold-out audience at the Frick last week with a talk that was an effortless mix of populist presentation and philosophical discourse.
Mr. Muniz, who was born in 1961 in Sao Paulo, was sent to the principal when his math teacher discovered him drawing in class. The 14-year-old expected to be scolded but instead became the school's representative in an art competition. He won first prize, a two-year scholarship to an academic drawing school. At the art school, he began to wonder what a drawing was and what compels people to make them.
"Drawing connects us all here," he told the audience. "Everyone makes drawings as a child. Why do we stop making drawings?
"Thirty thousand years ago a guy walks into a cave and sees the shape of a boar. He thinks of one he hunted. He thinks of the sweat of the animal. The chase. The blood. The taste. The party after. Then he looks again. It's just a shape on the wall. Unhappy with that he takes a stick, adds an eye, or a tail. This man is the first artist.
"After fire, representation is the second most important discovery. It's a way of creating a symbolic exchange. Drawing and theater both involve being fooled momentarily."
As an impish aside he added, "Economics, religion, politics all involve being fooled longer."
Over time Mr. Muniz's curiosity expanded to trying to understand how people see, a topic he addresses when he speaks at neurological conferences. An example of this "exploring of visual narratives" is looking at a large painting hanging on a wall. Contrasted with reading a book, which is held at a fixed distance, a viewer often moves around to see an artwork from different angles. "It's not an image coming toward you. You are coming to the image. And that changes everything."
Seen from afar it's a picture, "utterly mental." Close up it's paint, "something [made] from the ground, from animals. You don't want to see either. You're there to see where they come together. This is the sublime in art."
Mr. Muniz's medium is photography, but his process involves creating something to photograph. He spoke of various series including landscapes made of thread and portraits made of sugar crystals. He had to work quickly when he drew with melted chocolate due to the short window before the material lost the sheen he wanted to capture on film.
One of those images -- "Action Photo I, After Hans Namuth (Pictures of Chocolate Series)," from the iconic photograph of Jackson Pollock at work -- was the first that then-curator Bill Bodine purchased for the opening of the new building of the Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina.
When a search firm approached Mr. Bodine to succeed Frick Art & Historical Center director Dick McIntosh, he learned of the center's project with Mr. Muniz. That commitment, Mr. Bodine said at Mr. Muniz's talk, "flew in the face of the image of the Frick" and confirmed his decision to pursue the position. Coming full circle, Mr. Muniz's talk last week was the first center event to follow Mr. Bodine's announcement of his intent to retire at the end of June.
Mr. Muniz praised The Frick for having the "courage to bring an artist here. They gave me the run of the place."
He knew what he wanted to do from his first visit to Clayton. He'd read several books about Frick before coming to Pittsburgh. "But they didn't talk about the little things -- the old, dirty 19th-century boots at the children's entry, the size of the sinks, the freshly baked bread, the checks about to be written by Henry Clay Frick.
"What holds the image of the world together? The world we cannot understand because it happens all of the time when we're not looking, where we're not looking. It just happens. We look at what we're told is important. Things must have happened at Clayton. Children must have blown bubbles, discovered a dead snake, cookies were baked, a doctor visited."
These are some of the subjects Mr. Muniz photographed to present a visual history constructed of recorded fact, educated guess and artist instinct. He enlisted the staff, dressed in period costume, photographed using vintage camera and lens and orthochromatic film for an aged appearance, often from the uncorrupted vantage point of a child. He re-photographed vintage photographs and mixed them with the new, blending centuries, questioning expectations and norms.
Ms. Hall has written an essay for the free gallery guide that is a just-right mixture of personal immersion in and artist strategy for the project. The re-hung exhibition is a genuinely new experience -- post-9/11, which re-cast melancholy and nostalgia, post-iPhones and image promiscuity, post-any remnant of naive acceptance of the veracity of photographic image.
Mr. Muniz also turned preconception on its head again when he entered Jardim Gramacho, one of the world's largest landfills outside Rio de Janeiro.
"I'd wanted to photograph garbage for a long time, something society doesn't want to look at, like death. Garbage is something between an object and matter." When a truck drove by at the landfill, it became "like jelly. You're mentally tired when you get out of there. The smell is unbearable."
Still he found incredible beauty, in the people who made a living from gleaning the trash for salable items, and in the subsequent portraits he made in collaboration with them using landfill material. When the project began, Mr. Muniz said, he "had no intention to connect social commentary with artmaking." But the stories of the catadores have touched the hearts of many, through sales of their portraits and boosted by the 2010 documentary.
The idea for the "Pictures of Garbage" came at a time when Mr. Muniz was questioning the value of his profession, and the response the project engendered was proof that what he is doing is worthwhile.
"Art humanizes people. Art makes people more sensitive to life itself," he concluded.
Ms. Benedict-Jones will speak on "Vik Muniz: Illusionist" at noon Oct. 24 at the Frick Art Museum (free), including anecdotes about the residency project and her impressions of the artist's career to date. Ms. Benedict-Jones was herself a photographer, teaches the history of photography at Carnegie Mellon University, and was executive director of Silver Eye Center for Photography for almost 10 years. The exhibition continues at 7227 Reynolds St., Point Breeze, through Oct. 27. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Admission and parking are free.

Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey, who believes he's a direct descendant of Vlad The Impaler, wants to be your next commander in chief. He's headed to D.C. to campaign. Sharkey, 45, headed to D.C. with his 19-year-old girlfriend, also a vampire, to run for President of the United States in 2012. He recently switched his party affiliation from Independent to Republican so he can run with the GOP - and he's gone from campaigning in Minnesota to Florida, according to the AP Wire. On his MySpace Page, Sharkey expounds on his previous political aspirations: Advertisement Advertisement MY NAME IS JONATHON "THE IMPALER" SHARKEY AND I AM THE KING OF THE VAMPYRE NATION, AS WELL AS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA - BETTER KNOWN AS THE JUDAS STATE! MANY OF YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ME ON THE NEWS OR HEARD ME ON THE RADIO. I AM ASKING FOR EVERYONE TO PLEASE FORGET ABOUT MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. YES I AM A SATANIC VAMPYRE, AND A HECATE WITCH.......IT'S VERY SIMPLE, THOSE WHO ABUSE CHILDREN, CHILD MOLESTORS, KILLERS, DRUG DEALERS AND RAPISTS, INSTEAD OF GETTING OFF EASY LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN, I WILL IMPALE THEM!.How will his campaign go? Probably a lot like the time he ran for governor of Minnesota in 2006... which he made these YouTube videos for.So does this vampire stand a chance? Probably not: He has a long history of arrests, including being accused of brainwashing a Minnesota 16-year old. He is also under probation in Tennessee for threatening a judge. So those things might get in the way. Advertisement Sponsored But he's still deadly serious about his run for office, and according to his website if he is elected, these are the first rules he will pass, as acting vampire president.1.IMMEDIATELY outlaw ABORTION. The only time abortion will be allowed is in case of Rape (then again once I start IMPALING RAPISTS, there will be no more rapes), in cases of incest or in a medical emergency.2. IMMEDIATE bring our service personnel home from the war zones they are fighting in.3. Better benefits for our veterans and military service personnel.4. More aggressive steps to stop ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTION and make it an act of terrorism, hence punishable by IMPALEMENT by me!5. The Paige Child Protection Act. No child should ever have to suffer abuse at the hands of one of their parents. Anyone found guilty of abusing children will be IMPALED personally by ME!6. ALL Indian Casinos will have to pay taxes on the revenue they generate. This tax money will go to fund programs for Veterans.7. The DWI/DUI 3 strike rule. If you commit 3 acts of DWI/DUI, or cause bodily harm/death, you will be personally IMPALED by me. Also, on your first or second conviction of DWI/DUI you will lose your automobile.8. The Princeton School Board Act. The First Amendment of the US Constitution gives everyone the right of freedom of religion. Anyone who tries to deprive anyone in America their right of Religious freedom and/or expression will be IMPALED by me9. Legalization of Marijuana and Prostitution. Though I do not use/smoke marijuana or have sex with prostitutes, upon becoming President, I will legalize marijuana and prostitution in all 50 States. The individual states will have control over these businesses and the money made from them will used to fund programs that supply medical, prescription and dental insurance for the citizens who cannot afford the proper coverage they need.10. Business Blacklist Act. Any company that has previously been in America and has relocated to another country will be blacklisted from selling their products in America. No company will prosper by causing Americans to be laid off and their families suffer because the company decided to leave America for another country.11. The Better Educational Act. In this day and age of the super techknowledgical age, the only way Americans can compete with other countries where techknowledgie is concerned, is to be better educated. My Administration will give grants to Americans who need assistance in being re-educated and receive advance training to compete in the world market.12. The Fair Child Support and Visitation Act. In this day and age, money is tight. Hence, it is unreasonable to except a parent to pay an outlandish amount in child support. So, courts will have to a new fair scale to determine child support. Also, no parent will use their child as a weapon against the other parent. Every parent who is deemed non-dangerous to their child will have proper and just visitation rights to see their child. If the guardian parent impedes the other parent from seeing their child, they will IMMEDIATELY be charged with Contempt.13. The Abuse of Power Act. Any elected or appointed official who is found guilty of abuse of power will be IMPALED by me. Also, judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers will have to get their own malpractice/misconduct insurance. No longer will judges, prosecutors, law enforcement agents have CIVIL immunity from suits arising from their negligence or misconduct. Needless to say, upon being found guilty of abuse, they will be IMPALED by me!Reply110 repliesLeave a reply

What can fear do to you?
What can fear do to you? It seems a lot. Anxiety, fear, and worry are reported to be mentally and physically harmful. Jere Daniel in a Psychology Today column, Learning to Love Growing Old, wrote, "Fear of aging speeds the very decline we dread most. And it ultimately robs our life of any meaning."
I'm discovering that we experience what we think and that fear seems to be able to negatively touch every part of the body, if we allow it. Because of this, I've found it effective to filter my thoughts through spiritual reasoning. Many call this prayer.
…In time of loss: Caring for children w/ truth telling
I have always felt a responsibility to tell my children what is happening in the lives of those they know and love. Of course, I have taken into account their ages and comprehension abilities. Yet, I have chosen not to bombard them, to some degree, with graphic details they were not able to comprehend and assimilate. However, I feel nothing should be withheld from a child that could possibly make them feel left in the dark and unable to cope. …

See the elephant and all its meanings before Abundance closes
From wide-eyed dreams to unthinkable terrors
Jeff Smith 7 a.m., March 30
In the early morning hours of October 7, flames broke out in a detached unit located on the 800 block of Palm Avenue. National City fire crews immediately responded and quickly knocked down the flames, keeping them from spreading to other structures on the property.
The 600-square-foot structure was a total loss and in danger of collapsing. It was completely filled with property accumulated over many years. An 82-year-old man who owned the property had recently passed away and two sons were still living in other buildings on the property.
The Department of Animal Control was also called, as approximately 30 stray cats were discovered on the property, many neglected; the majority were caught and taken to the Chula Vista Animal Shelter.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known and there were no humans or animals injured.

Robert Creamer: New Economic Data Shows that Right Wing Economic Theory Is Simply Wrong.
Posted using ShareThis
Even as Republicans blather on about the evils of a so-called "government takeover of health care," economic news has provided two new key illustrations that the intellectual foundation of right-wing economic orthodoxy has collapsed.
First, the most recent economic numbers on changes in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment made it increasingly clear that — as The New York Times reported last Saturday — the Obama economic stimulus and the massive government intervention in the financial markets

How I learned to stop worrying and love the deficit
Posted by Becky Stauffer in Deficit, Economy, This Blog on March 22, 2009
Notwithstanding the neo-Hooverite talk from stimulus-program opponents, the current deficit isn't too large. If anything, it may need to be even larger to revive the economy.
The government, in its efforts to stimulate the economy and fight a deepening recession, is doing what to many people seems counterintuitive – increasing spending and putting our country further in debt.
I'm admittedly no economic expert, and I have to resort to reading and listening to those who are. There are plenty of non-experts giving their opinions here at OneUtah and elsewhere. And opinions are like . . . well I won't go there. But there is a great deal of hysteria without serious economic understanding when it comes to the deficit. So when I read the article, I felt it important to share here.
The good news is that there is little disagreement among economists who have studied the issue. The consensus is that short-run deficits help end recessions, and that whether long-run deficits matter depends entirely on how government spends the borrowed money. If failure to borrow meant forgoing productive investments, bigger long-run deficits would actually be better than smaller ones. Read the rest of this entry »
We are becoming our grandparents
Posted by Glenden Brown in This Blog on March 1, 2009
In recent weeks, I've had the same or nearly the same conversation with conservative friends. They assert that the problem with the economy is being made worse by the media reporting on problems in the economy and then go on to assert that things would be fine if only we believed things were fine. This conservation reminds me of a previous conservative talking point (the media should report the good news out of Iraq then more people would support the war). It's a curious notion really that the problem would go away if we didn't talk about it. I don't buy the argument for one very simple reason – the economic downturn is real, has real causes and not talking about those things won't make them go away. The claim that the media is making things worse is not so much analysis of the situation as it is wishful thinking.

Our bailout dollars at work
Posted by Becky Stauffer in Bailout, Economic Exploitation, Economy, This Blog on November 25, 2008
I'm sorry this video isn't embedded – CNBC didn't offer that option; maybe I'll figure it out later. Click on the graphic to link.
CNBC's Maria Bartiromo discusses the future of Citigroup with the company's largest shareholder, one of the wealthiest people in the world Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal of Saudi Arabia.
Is our Citigroup bailout money helping this guy? Well, yes. Someone enlighten me. Is this a good thing?
Alwaleed strongly supports Citi's current CEO Vikram S. Pandit, referring to him repeatedly by first name, saying he's only been there a year. We have to lay blame on the previous CEO. The prince doesn't hold the board responsible at all.
I looked for a little more information on Pandit, and found this from May 2008 Blogging Stocks by Douglas McIntyre:
Vikram S. Pandit, the CEO of Citigroup (NYSE: C), got his start at the big bank by selling them his hedge fund business, Old Lane. A few months after the transaction, Pandit got the top job, but the business he sold Citi is in trouble.
According to The New York Times, "Citigroup said late Friday that it was planning to restructure Old Lane after 'substantially all' its outside investors withdrew their money." The bank bought Pandit's company for $800 million.
Ahhhhh. . . I see. Do you get the feeling you've been had? These are the people who need our billions of bailout dollars. These are the people our children will pay higher taxes in the future in order to help now. And yet, if we don't bail them out, we will suffer even greater trouble? Perhaps torture is appropriate after all — for certain bank and auto executives.
On other topics, Alwaleed supports the auto industry bailout and says the U.S. government must ensure the big three can compete with European and Japanese automakers. He admits the recent astonomical price of oil was speculation and that a price of $50 to $60 is more realistic.
The prince has a truly impressive grasp of financial workings in the U.S. and is on a first name basis, a pick-up-the-phone-and-chat relationship with the big boys in U.S. finance.
It's a very long video, but fascinating and unsettling.

All the rules are out the window. We're in new territory now and nobody knows anything. Don't believe any predictions you hear because they really don't know. The DJIA Thursday dropped to 7552.29, its lowest in five years. As my stock market savvy friend advised me, at this point you can be sure it won't drop more than 7552.29. Hah!
Traditional market thresholds no longer matter:
There was a time when thresholds meant something. The Dow Jones average sinking below 8,000 must mean the bottom is near. The S&P 500 falling 50 percent from its high must signal the end of the free-fall.
Economists, money managers and traders who watch the markets closely say you can't assume previous bear market measures mean much. They acknowledge they don't know where the bottom is and anxiety remains high. So does the selling, which continued Thursday.
I'm curious, OneUtah readers, have you felt the pinch? Are you doing things differently because of the financial disasters we've seen? Or do you, like me, still feel somewhat isolated from the real pain — so far. My very smart friend predicts that we will all be feeling the pain before long.

Bailout Lacks Oversight
Posted by Becky Stauffer in Bailout, Bush Administration, Economy, George W. Bush, This Blog on November 13, 2008
This is what you call major violation of the public trust. It is so outrageous, there are no words for it. The Bush administration has managed to achieve one more major disaster before leaving office–give away BILLIONS of taxpayers dollars with NO OVERSIGHT. That's right. We were told how absolutely necessary this bailout is, and we trusted they would spend our money wisely and carefully. HAH!
And now they want to bail out GM to the tune of more BILLIONS in order to save millions of jobs. And we all want to save those millions of jobs, don't we? But who can be believed any more? Not George W. Bush. Not anyone in his administration.
Bailout Lacks Oversight Despite Billions Pledged
In the six weeks since lawmakers approved the Treasury's massive bailout of financial firms, the government has poured money into the country's largest banks, recruited smaller banks into the program and repeatedly widened its scope to cover yet other types of businesses, from insurers to consumer lenders.
Along the way, the Bush administration has committed $290 billion of the $700 billion rescue package.
Yet for all this activity, no formal action has been taken to fill the independent oversight posts established by Congress when it approved the bailout to prevent corruption and government waste. Nor has the first monitoring report required by lawmakers been completed, though the initial deadline has passed.
Six weeks! What have they been doing? When the hell are they going to get around to this? Is it not a priority? Shouldn't they be on it 24/7?! I mean really!
I apologize for the shouting. This just pisses me off!
And now, back to our economy
Posted by Becky Stauffer in Economy, Jobs on November 6, 2008
And by "our" I mean the whole world, since the economic crisis is worldwide. We had a nice diversion with the election, but in the cold light of morning, we realize the situation is as dire as it was before the election consumed us. The stock market took another dive yesterday. That matters to me because of my 401k, but I don't think it's the big news. I think even the bailouts are going to take a backseat to the bigger story of job losses.
From Reuters:
NEW YORK – Planned layoffs at U.S. firms surged to their highest in nearly five years during October, with cuts in the financial and auto sectors leading the charge as the economic outlook worsened, a report by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said on Wednesday.
Job cuts announced in October totaled 112,884, up 19 percent from September, the report said, citing evidence of widespread economic malaise as troubles that began in housing and banking infect the rest of the economy.
"The fact that nearly three out of four industry categories are cutting more jobs is proof of how widely the impact of this downturn has spread," said John Challenger, chief executive officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
"A year ago, job cuts were concentrated in the financial sector and home-building industries. Job cuts are now rising across the board."
October represented the year's worst month for job cuts for several industries, said Challenger, including industrial goods manufacturing, consumer products, pharmaceutical, food and electronics.
The report comes as the government is expected to report 200,000 jobs were lost in October, bringing the total this year to nearly 1 million.
The unemployment rate is also seen rising to 6.3 percent from 6.1 percent. Economists forecast that the jobless rate will rise to more than 8 percent before the job market recovers.
"Year-end job cuts are typically higher than at other times of the year, but the fact that October was significantly higher than recent years suggests that companies not only have been hit hard by this downturn, but they do not see a rebound any time in the near future," said Challenger (all emphasis, mine)
This is the thing that worries me the most. So many Americans live from paycheck to paycheck with no savings and no safety net. On a personal level, people need that steady flow of income to survive. In the bigger picture, the economy needs people to spend money to remain healthy.
I'm predicting job losses will be the greatest economic priority by the time Obama takes office in January.

I have a MBW coal/wood fired boiler. I have done several searches for Menomonee Boiler Works and can't find anything about my boiler. It appears to be a suplimental heat source meant to be used alongside of an oil or gas fired boiler.
This boiler is well made and has a fire brick lined chamber with a grate and ash pan. It has a combustion blower and electronic controls for high and low limits.
Is anyone familiar with this boiler??
My main question is about the use of a dampener in the chimney. I have had numerous wood stoves in the past an have always had a fully open chimney with no draft dampener, and controled the heat and burn rate with incoming air or inlet draft.
I have read several posts on this forum stating to turn the draft way down in the chimney once the coal fire is burning well. Is this correct?? can I install a draft dampener and mostly close it off ? If so will this slow down the burn rate of the coal?? And increase the amount of heat the water jacket can pick up from the burning coal or wood??
I'm having trouble getting the circulating water to get above 140* even with a roaring fire using wood, coal or a combination. The temperature of the chimney pipe is around 450*.
I'm getting only about 3-4 hours burn time from a five gallon bucket of coal, maybe about 7 gallons sometimes. The coal I'm using is hard coal and is a mixture of rice up to nut. I can get the whole bed of coals burning, about 5" deep, 18" wide and 24" long. Even with this very hot fire I can't get the water up to 180* like I would like.
Will a dampener in the chimney 'keep the heat in' and allow more heat to transfer to the water jacket and raise the water temperature??
If I close a dampener in the chimney and the combustion blower is forcing air through the bed of coal, will there be enough venting of gases? The boiler is outside the house, in a stand-alone shed with a Masonry chimney that is 18' tall and draws well.
I just seems wrong to restrict the outging gases from the fire chamber, but this may be just left-over ideas from airtight wood stoves.
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Greg

Tea Magazines
Hello :)
I am interested in subscribing to some tea publications.
What is out there, what do you read and what do you like about it?
What would you all recommend?
If you have any favorites to share please let me know. I am looking for those I can subscribe to online but prefer a NON online version – something I can lay on the sofa and read.
Good luck! I found a tea magazine but it was one of those snooty kind catering to people who drink with their pinkie up, using dainty porcelain cups (LOL!) I checked out World Tea News and am not yet sure it will work for me, as it is an industrial publication, but you might like it.
http://www.worldteanews.com/LOL I will check it out. Hey I like those dainty tea cups but I don't hold my finger up while drinking. Unless there is someone near by I don't like. :P
Worldteanews having the free trial right now is pretty interesting. Plus, the annual subscription fee seems pretty reasonable.
Wow, another site that does not list their payment options clearly until you've already filled out all your info and tried to subscribe/order/whatever. Man, do I ever hate that.
At the bottom of the subscription page it says, "If you are paying by credit card…" which seems to imply other payment options. Anybody know what they accept?
Not sure if you've heard of this one. My friend bought a copy when we were there but it hasn't made its way to me yet to read:
Just found you can see if for free:
The Art of Tea out of Taiwan (I think?) is a good consumer publication. http://www.the-art-of-tea.com
Haven't ever tried that one, but I may soon.
And I've seen Tea Time Magazine in the Tea Market and picked up a copy occasionally. I think it tends more to covering things like tea room fare and such. Recipes, etc.
Does anyone know how to get a subscription to The Art of Tea? I tried emailing the operator of their website, but didn't receive a response.
How many issues are there annually?
I subscribed to Tea Time for awhile but it was mostly advertising and recipes, not too much on the history of taking tea and such. I was expecting something more along the lines of Victoria.
I came across this recently. Pretty informative. Some of the same people found in Art of Tea.
These seem like great links to look through. I've been wondering for a while about finding a tea magazine. Thank you! :)
I just finished reading "Tea: Aromas and Flavors Around the World" by Lydia Gautier. Such a concise and informative book both on straight forward, simple history as well as a useful guide to experiencing tea… observing dry and wet leaves, taste and smell profiles and tea liquor profiles. Good start point for anyone interested in a deeper practical knowledge of tea.
Tea Magazine is new and the entire focus is tea culture. Cool articles and lots of great information. I've gotten two issues so far and I LOVE it!!!
Awesome I will check that out! Oh so cool you just posted here … my daughter and I just made lemon cupcakes with your Lemon Zest tea! :)
Glad to know that Joysteaspoon! I paid for a subscription to http://teamag.com/ about a month ago, so I should be receiving my first issue soon.

Cara Carleton "Carly" Fiorina is an American business executive, best known for her stint as leader of technology company Hewlett-Packard . Touted as #1 "most powerful woman in business" by Forbes magazine, she led the company into a controversial merger with rival Compaq in 2002. Fiorina presided over a halving of Hewlett Packard's value during her tenure and heavy job losses. She was fired by HP's board due to dissatisfaction with her performance in February 2005.
Fiorina is also a contributor on the Fox Business Network.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, courage is acting in spite of fear"
Carly Fiorina
"My mother...taught me about the power of inspiration and courage, and she did it with a strength and a passion that I wish could be bottled."
"The goal is to transform data into information, and information into insight"
"Do not be afraid to make decisions, do not be afraid to make mistakes."
"Leadership comes in small acts as well as bold strokes"
"The lesson I learned at that life marker was, love what you do, or don't do it."
"The truth is, I'm proud of the life I've lived so far, and although I've made my share of mistakes, I have no regrets."
"In bullfighting there is a term called querencia. The querencia is the spot in the ring to which the bull returns. Each bull has a different querencia, but as the bullfight continues, and the animal becomes more threatened, it returns more and more often to his spot.As he returns to his querencia, he becomes more predictable. And so, in the end, the matador is able to kill the bull because instead of trying something new, the bull returns to what is familiar. His comfort zone."
"Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system."
"There is some confusion because we only recently began our marketing. We're in an era were people need to think about business processes and applications horizontally...We need to think of the enterprise not as an island of stand-alone technology."

Focus Features is going to Cuba, attaching George Clooney to direct and produce "The Yankee Commandante" via his Smokehouse Pictures banner. Focus won bidding this week for feature rights to "Commandante," based on David Grann's recent New Yorker story about William Alexander Morgan, an American who led a guerrilla force with Fidel Castro in Cuba's Escambray Mountains that helped overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in late 1958. He also foiled a coup attempt by the Dominican Republic's dictator Rafael Trujillo in 1959 but fell out of Castro's favor thereafter due to his anti-Communist beliefs and was executed in 1961.
Something tells me that–much like in the New Yorker article on which the movie is based–Max Lesnik and Eloy G. Menoyo's views will feature heavily. Something also tells me the film will be devoid of any input by Roberto Martin Perez and others who suffered the longest terms of political incarceration in modern history because of Morgan's treachery. After all, their anti-Castro plot, as the New Yorker article explains (echoing Castro) had nothing whatsoever to do with restoring Cuba's freedom. Instead it was inspired by the wicked dictator Rafael Trujillo.
According to Armando Lago about 2000 Cubans were murdered by firing squad while Morgan loyally served Castro. Indeed in 1959-60 many of the men and boys cramming La Cabana's galeras were were there because of Morgan's treachery.
Morgan lived in a mansion during this time, had a fancy car and owned a frog farm. Might it occur to Clooney to ask how this AWOL GI, deadbeat-Dad and ex-con managed to acquired these luxuries? In fact they were all stolen at gunpoint from their rightful Cuban owners. "Bienes Malversados"–INDEED!
Something tells me that, given George Clooney's political disposition, none of this will feature. Something tells me the movie's "historical advisors" will be selected very, very carefully. Morgan's old comrades (Segundo Frente Del Escambray) after all, morphed into an outfit known as Alpha 66. Can you imagine a leftist Hollywoodie thanking Alpha 66 in his movie credits?….whatever. This should be interesting.

He vowed to use his "bully pulpit" to "point a finger of shame" at all ugly acts, from graffiti to violence. Speaking to several hundred Jewish leaders and others at ceremonies marking the "Days of Remembrance" of the Holocaust at the White House, Reagan also pledged that the U.S. will speak out at all international forums and negotiating tables to protest the persecution of people anywhere. The annual event, sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, was held in the East Room of the White House instead of the Rose Garden because of rain. Referring to those who claim the Holocaust is a hoax, Reagan recalled that during World War II he served in an army branch which processed military film from overseas and he saw the first scenes taken at the .first Nazi concentration camp to be liberated by American forces. Anyone who saw this film knew it was not a hoax, Reagan said. Auther Elie Wiesel, chairman of the Holocaust Memorial Council, said survivors of the Holocaust must bear witness to those events, "not Howard M. Metzenbaum, United States Senator from Ohio, Frank D.

Wiesel said the more people learned about the Holocaust the less they could understand it. He pointed in particular to the failure of others to prevent or lessen its effects at the time.
