40k Batrep—Plaguewing vs. The Imperium (2000 pts)
This was a very tough game for the Plaguewing !!! I was up against the new Sisters of Battle with allied Imperial Guard. Before the game started I jokingly told my opponent nowadays you have to design an army that is tough enough to stand out in the open and take it right to the face each and every turn, to which he readily agreed… This turned out to a prophetic statement as you'll soon see.
As you'll see this game was a mosh pit of gory death on both sides. I was counting on my superior toughness to outlast and outclass the enemy's great number.
NOTE – I forgot to have my opponent take toughness tests due to the Black Mace's Curse after the first round of the initial melee… Oh well. That could have made a huge difference in the final result. I guess that's the best way to really learn.
Here is my army list…

# Basilisk
Mission – The Relic
Deployment – Dawn of War
My opponent won the roll to choose his deployment zone. He also won the roll to go first… I tried to Seize but failed.
My opponent deploys his entire army except for Marbo. He spreads out his forces with his super blob including Uriah and his Priests ready to make a dash for the Relic. Due to our army builds it will be a big fist fight in the center of the table.
I deploy all my units except for the Heldrakes and Plaguebearers. It was very important to establish an area of dominance around the Relic. Sometimes it's better to hold more units in reserve but this was not one of those games.
I was hoping my Heldrakes would both come in the same turn, otherwise they'll be picked off by the intercepting Sabre Platforms… There is no way around that with all those twin linked lascannons. Regardless though the Heldrakes could still have a significant impact on the game.
I planned to deep strike my Plaguebearers on top of the area terrain on the Relic if possible, so they are a suicide squad if they mishap or scatter completely out of cover. The rest of my army lined up behind the big piece of area terrain in the middle of the table ready to counter assault the mighty blob using as much cover as possible.
I planned to hold back my a Daemon Prince so he could react to enemy movement and play the role as the second wave… He got both Iron Arm and Endurance for psychic powers so he was blessed by Lord Nurghal – I had to get the most out of him possible.
Night Fight – 1st Turn
Night Fight was a huge blessing for my army seeing I had to go second. It was one of the very few good things to happen for me in the beginning.
1st Turn – Imperium
The big blob moved and ran straight towards the relic. Note that the blob was fearless due to the attached Priests.
The Basilisk dropped a bomb on the lead rhino and popped it for First Blood… The Plague Marines split out crouching in the smoking crater left behind in the wake of the explosion. The rest of their shooting was inconsequential.
1st Turn – Chaos
All my psychic powers go successfully. My BikerStar and Plague Drones moved straight towards the blob for a first turn assault. The remaining rhino pulls up behind the central area terrain and it's cargo remained embarked. The other squad of Plague Marines moved up behind the area terrain hugging as much cover as possible. I then shot the blob as much as possible dropping a few guardsmen.
Charge! Both the BikerStar and Plague Drones slammed into the blob, taking no wounds from enemy Overwatch. I rolled snake eyes for the BikerStar charge range, they were one inch away though — due to placement and spacing only the Chaos Lord and Sorcerer could make base to base contact. All of the Plague Drones made it into base contact. The Chaos Lord issued a challenge and popped a priest. The Drones lost a couple wounds in return then they and the Sorcerer dropped a few more guardsmen. The Curse then killed a couple more. Everybody piled in.
Neither army was holding the Relic at the end of the first turn and my Chaos Lord earned a worthless boon… That would be a running theme throughout the epic scrum.
2nd Turn – Imperium
Marbo arrived from reserve and tossed his demo charge on the disembarked Plague Marines vaporizing them all — that hurt. The Basilisk then popped the second rhino — two for two… Ouch !
Melee them recommenced with the Sorcerer (T8 due to Iron Arm) issuing a challenge this turn versus a sergeant. Again my BikerStar and Drones drop some more guardsmen slowly thinning their rank, taking a couple more wounds on the Drones again. The Sorcerer pops the sergeant and gets nothing worthwhile from the Dark Gods (i.e., boon table) for his trouble.
2nd Turn – Chaos
All psychic powers were successfully cast. In from reserve comes only one Heldrake… It vector strikes the Marbo putting a quick end to the miserable Catachan then was immediately wasted by the intercepting Sabre Platforms. The Daemon Prince took flight landing in the central piece of area terrain firing his daemonic lance at an Exorcist and popped it. The last squad of Plague Marines legged it into the central piece of area terrain but couldn't assault this turn.
My Sorcerer issued a challenge accepted by Uriah and struck him down with his Force Axe for Slay the Warlord. He is then blessed by the boon for Fleshbane which was worthless since he was always S5+ due to his axe and Iron Arm. Still lots of guardsmen and a few Priests left in the blob. One biker is snuffed and the Drones are down to just three remaining.
The game was now tied at one victory point apiece. Neither army held the Relic.
3rd Turn – Imperium
The Platoon command squad and a unit of Battle Sisters moved out from cover both making a beeline towards the Relic… They have a lot of ground to cover. My opponent dropped a pie plate from his Basilisk on my Plague Marines but it scattered on top of the blob killing a couple more.
Melee then recommenced… The biker sergeant issued a challenge and popped another sergeant — he is rewarded with yet another worthless boon. Due to placement and spacing the BikerStar could not pile back into combat and were free to consolidate. Oh joy! The blob is below half strength and starting to run low on able bodies but still fearless.
3rd Turn – Chaos
All psychic powers were successfully cast again. This was a key turn for Chaos and I needed to assert positional dominance. Both the Plaguebearers and last Heldrake come in from reserve. The Heldrake vector strike the platoon command squad, killing two… They break and fall back. The intercepting enemy Sabre platforms then drop it from the sky… The ensuing explosion wiped out the rest of the platoon common squad… Heh !! The Plaguebearers deep struck on top of the Relic but scattered 8″ towards my right away from the objective marker… Most of them could still land within the edge of the central piece of area terrain for some solid cover.
My Biker Lord and Sorcerer detach from the remainder of the biker squad and join the second squad of Plague Marines ready to launch a second assault — this was a key move, the bikers have served their purpose and I needed to preserve the integrity of my command — the Chaos Lord and Sorcerer could tank wounds to keep two of my scoring units in control of the Relic. The rest of the Plague Drones and bikers continue to trade blows back and forth with the dwindling blob.
The Daemon Prince assaulted the Sisters of Battle and obliterate them while the Plague Marines grab the Relic… It was starting to look grim now for the Imperium but I was running low on body count too.
Plague Marines hold the Relic and we both have one bonus point apiece — First Blood to the Imperium and Slay the Warlord to Chaos.
4th Turn – Imperium
This was another key turn. I had established positional dominance the previous turn and needed to continue to apply the pressure looking to score the killing blow versus the blob.
My opponent focused all his fire power versus the Death Guard and Chaos command. When the smoke cleared all that was left was one Death Guard, both the Chaos Lord and Sorcerer were down to one wound each. My Chaos Lord failed at least six Look Out Sirs in a row but made every invulnerable save of FNP to squeek it out to the bitter end… It was incredible.
The last of the blob was finally snuffed in melee. I had only the Drone Champion left from his unit along with only the biker Champion from his unit. The Daemon Prince was still at full wounds.
4th Turn – Chaos
The last Death Guard along with my HQ moved back out of line of sight from the Imperial guns and the Plaguebearers moved up beside to snatch the Relic if necessary. The Daemon Prince took out the Basilisk with his ranged attack to eliminate the threat of indirect enemy fire. My opponent then conceded the game with no chance to take the Relic or score Slay the Warlord|Line Breaker.
Victory to the Plaguewing in a very hard fought match. At times I thought my dice would betray me but then they would roll smoking red hot like boss when I really needed those key rolls down the line. I stuck to my original game plan and it paid off in the end.

BCRF Scientific Advisory Board
The leaders of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation have always believed that the most efficient way to address breast cancer is to direct as much grant funding as possible to the very best and most innovative research. The BCRF Scientific Advisory Board identifies and evaluates research to ensure that BCRF dollars will have the maximum impact. This group represents disciplinary and geographic diversity and is comprised of men and women who embody breast cancer research excellence and world-recognized leadership.
Exceptional Recognition
The BCRF approach to fundraising and awarding funds for breast cancer research and awareness programs has been recognized by organizations that monitor and provide comprehensive, unbiased information on charities. Their evaluations assist donors in making sensible and intelligent giving decisions.
BCRF holds a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, the Foundation's twelfth such designation since 2002. This award demonstrates that BCRF adheres to good governance and other best practices, and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. This "exceptional" designation indicates that BCRF outperforms most other charities in America.
CharityWatch.org (formerly American Institute of Philanthropy)
CharityWatch has awarded the Foundation an A+ rating! This is the highest possible rating by CharityWatch. BCRF is recognized as the only breast cancer organization to receive its coveted A+ and the only cancer organization to currently hold this ranking. In awarding their rating, CharityWatch.org looks at percent spent on program services, cost to raise $100, and years of available assets. For more information, visit the CharityWatch.org website.
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation was named one of America's eight top charities in the December, 2004 issue of Money magazine. The article lists BCRF "as among the best at devoting the lion's share of donations to their programs while keeping fund-raising costs in check." It goes on to say, "A charity earns the highest rating if at least 60% of the money it spends goes to its programs and no more than 35% to fund raising or other administrative costs." BCRF, which directs a minimum of 85 cents of every donated dollar to research and awareness programs, far exceeds this level. The information was gathered from charitywatch.org, an independent organization that maintains financial records of charitable organizations across the country. (Quotes and logo: (c) 2004 Time Inc. All rights reserved.)
Fundraising Efficiency
The Foundation is committed to maintaining the highest degree of fundraising efficienty. Currently, 91 cents of every dollar spent by BCRF is directed towards breast cancer research and awareness programs. This accomplishment reflects BCRF's dedication to putting the contributions it receives to work immediately. Each year, the maximum amount of dollars is directed to research, rather than towards an endowment for the future. BCRF knows that its supporters do not want their dollars wasted on solicitations that include unnecessary gifts and junk mail. BCRF wants action!
Significant and Effective Funds for Research
Annual grants awarded by BCRF allow scientists to pursue groundbreaking research leading to new treatments, new methods of prevention and new insights into breast cancer. The Foundation supports investigations with the potential for rapid clinical application, and understands the importance of supporting projects in all stages of development. It is particularly effective at identifying important new areas of research and providing greatly needed seed money, to enable researchers to generate the data necessary to compete successfully for federal funding and to leverage and secure additional funds from other foundations and government agencies.
By donating to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, contributors know that their support will go to breast cancer research and awareness programs. No gift is too small. The Foundation is honored to be the recipient of gifts from all donors.

Transfer to oven and bake until the center is set, 18 to 20 minutes. Slide out of the skillet and cut into squares before serving warm or at room temperature.
Tip: For an extra touch, add chorizo. Dice 4 ounces Spanish chorizo (cured sausage) and stir it into the cooked onions and peppers.

nudity reviews for Assault of the Party Nerds 2: The Heavy Petting Detective member submitted
Linnea runs a salon and ends up in bed with some of her male customers. Both times (0:32 & 0:46) she's riding the guys topless, adding figures on a calculator seeing if the guys make enough money. More comic than sexy but her boobs are on good display.
Michelle reprises her role as the bimbo-y Muffin and has a couple of topless scenes in bed. She and her boyfriend got at it but it's from the viewer's POV, so two shots look like you're plowing into her and another has her riding on top of you. Michelle puts a lot of energy into it so it's really nice.


text: When i first got my adapter it worked great, had no problems with it at all for many months and used it a lot with both my DS and DSi, but then i tried updating the software and everything went into the crapper. When i connect it to my PC it blinks and starts up the app, everything looks normal, then i try to connect and it shows the system connecting (running man and full bars) then it just drops the connection (standing man and no bars). This problem only occurred when i foolishly updated the program it uses to 1.07. (the nintendo official one) I Have tried using different versions and i can't get it to work for long. Also tried using different ports with no results. I Have uninstalled using the nintendo sites instructions, went back to 1.06 and tried it again with the same results, then uninstalled again and went back to 1.07 and of course nothing changed. Whenever i try to connect my DSi i get the error 052103-1 and it doesn't connect. While it is testing the connection i am watching the software's reaction and it shows it connecting, then it disconnects, then it reconnects, then disconnects again and the error comes up on my DSi(and my DSl has the same issues) Side Note - I Was uninstalling everything again and now when i run the Setup file for the 1.07 drivers it gets to the end and errors out. "Internet Connection Sharing error.(6)" Any help is appreciated. Also, my PC hasn't changed between when this worked and this happened so i don't think the spec's are too relevant, but in any case i will put some here. 2gb Ram, 32bit Vista Home Premium, AMDx2 64 4000+, Normal USB ports (2.0) Also i turned off all firewalls, i have no router, and nothing else that i know of that would interfere with it. Thanks in advance.

ACCIDENT VICTIM: As reported in last week's issue Micheal O'Reilly Kilsallagh lost his life in a tragic road accident on Saturday February 25th and was laid to rest following requiem Mass in St Felims Church on Wednesday February 29th with the remains removed from his home for the 11 o'clock con-celebrated mass with chief celebrant Rev Peter Casey PP. The Church was crowded to capacity with hundreds unable to gain admission and following the religious service via the public address. To his parents Seamus and Eilish brothers Darragh Karl Stephen Adrian and Julian sister Regina uncles aunts and a large family circle. May I extend the sympathy of our community. May he rest in peace.
SISTER MARY MCVEETY: There was widespread regret throughout her native district as news spread of the death on Monday February 27th at St Vincents hospital Dublin following a brief illness of sister Mary McVeety of the missionary sisters of the Holy Rosary and a native of Gortahurk Ballinagh. Eldest daughter of the late John and Anne McVeety (nee Soraghan) Mary attended Ballinagh girls national school. In 1944 the family having purchased a larger holding at Kilmainham Ballinagh moved to their new home. Mary's secondary education commenced at Loretta College Cavan where she excelled in all subjects and on obtaining her leaving cert with honors chose the teaching profession for her career ,joining the staff of Kilderry National school. Mary quickly endeared herself to the pupils their parents and teaching colleagues. A noted amateur actress Mary played a lead role as a member of Ballinagh Dramatic Society in many notable productions. Mary's great kindnrss warm and friendly personality good sense of humour together with her natural good looks made her a welcome favourite among all age groups in any gathering. After three years in the classroom Mary announced to family and friends her intention to join the religious life by entering a convent with the missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary the order of her choice. In those days of half a century ago life inside the convent walls while always rewarding and fulfilling could have strict rules and in the case of the order chosen by Mary McVeety one was that on entering you were forbidden from ever returning to the family home. The date for entry was a crisp autumn day as relatives neighbours and family friends came together at the McVeety farmhouse to wish Mary good health happiness and God's blessings in the religious life. The hour for departure came with the arrival of the taxi from Ballinagh with Jack Smith in the drivers seat to take Mary accompanied by her parents to the convent headquarters at Drumilly Killeshandra. Mary bade goodbye to those assembled - one being the writer of this column – with a friendly handshake,gentle hug and parting kiss as tears flowed from the eyes of many. But for Mary herself her peace and inward happiness was obvious to all as she set out on the road to answer the call of the divine master. Following her final profession Sister Mary left for the mission fields of Africa where for more than fifty years she served the native community with distinction through education and in spreading the gospel message. During the papacy of Pope John XXIII the rule forbidding sisters from order visiting their family home was removed and for many decades sister Mary had been a very welcome visitor to her home where she spent holidays with her brother Harry sister in law Teresa (Tessa) and their family at the homestead at Kilmainham. Her passing is widely mourned. Predeceased by her brother Harry she is survived by her brother Timothy sisters Rose Anna and Pauleen,nephews nieces and large family circle to whom I extend the sympathy of our community. The funeral took place on Thursday following con-celebrated mass in Beechwood parish Church Dublin with burial in Shangaragh cemetery. May she rest in pace.

Most of those Indonesian that went to the PSS were actually employees of Indonesian Embassy with their Ambassador. while some of them have been living in the Phil. But there were also Indonesians who traveled from Indonesia just to support their NT but they weren't that many.Delete

They need to have a good preparation if they want fans to love them continuosly and create many followers cause AFC Asian Cup has all the top teams in our region including Japan, AUstralia, NoKor, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Qatar and many others. Plus if we still don't have a reliable defenders then better Dooley and company should stop talking about bouncing back strong in this kind of tournament.ReplyDelete

Out with old ,in with the new.. The Original Little Azkals whom Marcos Casambre joined as a youth team back then are a force to be reckoned with if only they are trained together with the same coach and manager. The players are now with the different universities and colleges in Metro Manila and are influential in their teams. Their schools are UP, NU, UE, DLSU, DLSZ and IS Manila. They've been recently reunited last Sunday at Vikings with Noel Marcaida and Oliver Colina.Delete

There's that overrating crap again! Being competitive at U13 level doesn't it will be the same at older age groups let alone senior level!Delete
- Anonymous30 November 2016 at 15:52
That's not overrating that's overseeing it asshole! You are such a loser and a pessimist no wonder people like you stays in the past and always adoring the foreign born people as Gods and saviors. You don't know about them? Try searching the UAAP and NCAA games and see who these players are. And they're not just competitive in U13 they're improving and evolving in their U18. So shame on you for losing trust on our locals. You are just an old jealous small time dirty player when you were young. Maybe you crave for your man crush foreigners...ReplyDeleteReplies

Up and coming nga ang mga yan bobo mo naman mag isip. Halatang underrated player ka nung panahon mo. Btw, sila yung maganda ang record sa lahat ng National team natin na sumali sa mga AFC youth competitions and they even performed well sa Italy training camp with clubs like Palermo, Reginna Calcio and many others nung maglaban ang mga teams natin. Kaya kung ako sayo mag research ka muna bago ka umasta puro lng kasi dito sa blog nato bumabasa at doon sa FB. Kunsabagay present lng alam mo.Delete

There it is again! "Up and coming" pero "force to be reckoned with". The irony!Delete
Again, they havn't proven squat! Just because they showed some nous at u13 level doesn't translate to becoming a good player at older levels let alone senior level!
That's your problem, puro papuri kaagad wala pa nga napapatunayan!! Ikaw na yung sinasabihan ikaw pa ang offended!
If you want to continue overrating them na sayo yan.
Eh di wow!!

Nag co-comment lng na ganun na mga achievements nila since U13 negative kana agad? Wla namang nagsasabi na they can translate it to Mens level pero lahat naman cguro ng magagaling na player buong mundo dumaan sa mga edad na yan ang husay nila at madadala nila yan sa paglaki as long as they keep doing their best and be always competitive. Ang gusto lng ipaliwanag sa taas ay malaking tsansa kung majority ng grupo nila ang magkasabay sa Mens dahil nandun na yung chemistry ng team which is a very hard thing to develop and will take years to perfect pag puro tayo kuha ng kuha ng foreign based pinoys. Pero sa pananalita mo na parang wla kang naintindihan o sadyang wla ka talagang bilib sa kapwa mo pinoy na dito ipinanganak at lumaki eh sadyang mababa talaga ang kokote mo. Ikaw ang may problema dahil pessimist ka at hindi bagay maging fan ng isang national team. O baka inggit ka lng sa mga locals na yan dahil magagaling maglaro at hindi katulad mo na isang paa lng ang pwede sumipa? Puro lng cguro kabulastugan alam mo dahil mahilig ka pala sa Eh di Wow ni Joey de Leon. Magbasa ka nlng ng football articles para may alam ka paano maipanalo ng isang koponan ang isang malaking torneo at kung ano ang preparasyon kailangan nila (long term at short term). O ayan assignment mo yan. Kulang ka pa sa idea about football.Delete

Case Studies
Problem solving and analytical skills are honed through case studies, which are part of the pedagogy in most of the courses.
Summer Internship
The programme also provides direct student links with industry and enhancement of application skills through projects undertaken for industry. The summer projects of 8 to 10 weeks duration are done at the end of the first academic year.
Once at the project location, the students learn direct application of various concepts imbibed during the first year of formal studies, and learn to appreciate organization-specific complexities and implementation problems and bottlenecks.
The project work executed by the deputed IIMK students have been highly appreciated by the industry leadership, resulting in 'best project' awards presented to them in several instances.
In the second year, students select subjects in their area of interest, and have an option of dual specialization. Electives are offered in various verticals. Multidisciplinary courses offering state of the art analysis such as 'Enterprise Resource Planning' and 'Business Process Re-engineering' are also available for the taking.
Typically, choices are made from at least two streams so as to major in two areas, thus obtaining a 'dual' specialization.
Continuous Revision
The management development programmes offered by the institute provides a link for updating the PGP curriculum so that the students are equipped with the necessary skills to respond to the changing challenges posed by business and industry.

Innovation tools in the Industrial Biotechnology
L. Goenka
Dolcera, IN
Keywords: innovation tool, software, patent software, patent analysis tool, patent analytics
Abstract:Innovation in the Industrial Biotechnology world faces several information mining and visualization challenges. It is difficult to systematically mine the thousands of patents and academic papers published each year around the world in this area. Without appropriate information visualization tools, it is not possible to fully understand the universe of organisms, enzymes, feedstock, products and by-products and the inter-relationships between them. Industrial biotechnology innovation can be mapped to the following basic variables: a) Various feedstock b) Pre-treatment methods for feedstock c) A variety of enzymes, bacteria, fungi, yeast or a modified version of any of these that feed on feedstock d) Output or products that are obtained when the enzymes or bacteria or fungi or yeast feed on these feedstock It is extremely hard to map all the technical data to the above categories using existing information visualization tools. Current tools only allow for a piecemeal analysis of narrow sets of data. It is hard to visualize the global landscape comprising competing/substitute methods or technologies. Each of the existing tools has a limitation to the number of categories one can be use for this multivariate analysis. Also, the tools do not have a flexible structure to create the categories into any number of levels. The Dolcera Biotechnology Dashboard is an interactive tool used by biotechnology companies around the world to review large quantities of patent, scientific and product literature in an aggregate fashion. It enables hundreds of categories across many levels of categorization. It has an intuitive interface for users to easily navigate through these categories, to select multiple categories (a specific enzyme, a specific feedstock and a specific product) to get the relevant IP for that specific combination. This ability for multivariate analysis, using a highly visual and intuitive format, makes it extremely easy for research professionals to study the scientific and competitive landscape. It also saves precious time and enhances the efficiency of mining this data. The other advantage of Dolcera's dashboard is that it makes sharing of information extremely easy. It is build using Web 2.0 technologies and works inside the web browser. As a result, research teams can use the Dashboard for collaboration with their teams and external partners globally. The Dolcera dashboard is designed for use by research teams and business managers alike. Research teams can access the detailed technical strategies followed by competitors, while business executives can use this tool to monitor competitive activity at a higher level of abstraction. This is possible, since the Dashboard is extremely easy to use and does not require any special training for its use.

What a wonderful memory to hold. I love that tea was kept in such a treasured box. I have purchased a very special tea holder while in Beijing last. It's the craftsmanship and weight that set it apart. Each time I use it for my favorite tea, I feel as if I'm preparing to drink the most special tea of all.
Yes, it's wonderful that each of us can buy quite expensive hand picked and processed tea. By resteeping them throughout the day, the price is close to a tea bag. How can you go wrong? Excellent quality with affordable price.
Wednesday July 25, 2012 | 6 comments
My grandmother kept her tea in a wooden caddy that had an ivory band around the lid, and a tiny brass-bound lock that turned with a smooth and promising click. The lock, I suppose, was an echo of the 18th Century, when tea was a luxury so rare and valuable it needed to be protected from the servants.
Raise the lid, and inside was a childish dream of a box: two compartments with snug and perfectly fitted lids, each lifted by a small, knurled mahogany handle. The lids were almost interchangeable – but not quite. One, I think, was very slightly smaller than the other; and the sides lined up exactly only in one direction, like a child's toy. The compartments were lined with lead, covered in silver paper, which helped give the caddy its mysterious and alluring weight. Say what you like about lead, but it's a glorious substance in its own right – blue-grey, malleable, easily melted, easily worked. Some of our plumbing (from plumbum, the latin for lead) was still made of it back then.
The workmanship hinted at secret drawers, like a diplomat's escritoire – or a Joe 90s' briefcase – cunningly joinered to be invisible to the uninitiated. It should have contained – what? Gold doubloons, perhaps, or strings of pearls; or a letter on which the fate of empires might depend, onionskin folded and refolded, inscribed by hand in a spidery copperplate.
Inside each compartment was loose-leaf tea, and one small wooden scoop. In the first was Darjeeling, scattered as promised with flecks of gold. The scent was grassy and fresh, but it wasn't until later that I learned that the grade of leaf was known as TGFOP, Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. What astonished me even then was that every leaf was furled, like an umbrella, along its length. The second compartment contained Assam, my grandmother's breakfast tea. The leaf was much smaller, but silkier to the touch.
Both teas had an ineffable color, which I liked. The Darjeeling, with its golden tips and hints of green, was like a bolt of Hebridean tweed, with the grain of a rare wood. The Assam was absolute, uniformly black, but the sort of rich unadulterated black you don't see much nowadays – letterpress black, the black of colonial pamphlets or Italian engravings. Like the world's first postage stamp, Queen Victoria's Penny Black: dusty black, with a bloom all its own.
The texture of tea is something I've never quite gotten over, and it's what I miss most when I resort to the companionable teabag, with its filling of macerated leaf. I love Chinese gunpowder tea, rolled and furled the size of a pinhead, the color of dull jade; the spidery, generous leaves of Lapsang Souchong; or the susurrating fillets of panfried Long Jing, still whole and perfectly – irrationally – flat. These are hand-picked, hand-made, bearing the stamp of human skills and traditions. We live in an age of perfect, digitally controlled precision: everything we need is the calculated product of design, technology, and mass production. So while it's only millionaires who can afford a Savile Row suit, or a hand-built car, or a pair of tailored brogues – or cigars rolled on the thighs of women in the Caribbean heat! – it's nice to know that you can still have tea. China or India, anyone?
What a visually written, beautiful post!! Thank you for noticing the details in life!!!
Jason, I love the description of the box. My dad had a small cedar box that he used to store all of the coins he had collected in his 20 years in the US Navy. It had a miniature skeleton key lock and I used to LOVE the smell of the box anytime we would open it. I would never try to store tea in it…but this post makes me want to find something like what your Grandmother had!
Ah yes, the coin box – wonderful! (They used to have more interesting coins, with shaped edges and even HOLES in the middle, didn't they?)

At first glance, you won't believe that these gorgeous geometric creations before your eyes are edible, unless you cut them with a knife to reveal mouth-watering ingredients. The baker uses a variety of different ingredients that give her creations almost unreal appearances. Various ingredients used in her delicious creations are Meringue, mousse, mascarpone, ganache, and many more.

Lex's Story: One Mother, Five Children, and Three Years on the Childcare Subsidy Waiting List
Like other working parents in Buncombe County, Alixes, or "Lex", wants her children to be in a safe, high quality environment while she is at work. But as a mother of five children from ages 11 to 9 months, there have been times when she couldn't find affordable child care arrangements so that she could work.
"It has been challenging to find childcare for my kids" she says with a good-natured laugh. She sought assistance from the child care subsidy program that helps working parents or parents in school.
North Carolina's child care subsidy program uses a combination of state and federal funds to provide subsidized child care services to eligible families through a locally administered voucher system. The NC Legislature votes each year on the budget for this program and also sets the amount each county receives. The cost of early childhood care and learning in Buncombe County can exceed $700/month. For many working families in Buncombe County, a child care voucher is the only way they can afford a high quality setting for their child. Quality does matter in the early years: research continues to show that settings that promote healthy cognitive, emotional, and physical development can lead to better educational and social outcomes for children as they grow into adulthood.
Unfortunately for families across North Carolina, the waiting list for the child care subsidy program remains high. The North Carolina legislature has not kept funding up with costs and demand resulting in 24% less children being served than 2008-09. Waiting lists across the state grew to about 30,000 this last year – resulting in wait times over 18 months in some counties. Buncombe County serves about 2,500 children with the subsidy program per year (including school-aged children).
Four out of Lex's five children were on the child care subsidy waiting list for two years or more. "My eight year-old never received the vouchers, and I signed my five year-old when she turned one," says Lex. "We were on the waiting list with her for over three years. In fact, she was about to go into kindergarten when we got the notice that she was accepted for the vouchers. By then, we didn't need the voucher for her any more."
But she did need the child care subsidy for her three year-old that was still on the waiting list. Lex decided to participate in the Work First program, and as part of that program she received a child care voucher for her three-year-old. Work First Employment Services assists with training, work experience and supportive casework services to enable Work First participants to become self-sufficient and self-supporting. This publicly funded program is administered by the Buncombe County Social Work Services.
"Thank goodness for this program, because it got my daughter in daycare, and I was able to go back to work."
Out of her five children, only one was able to receive a child care voucher during their early childhood years. "After being on the waiting list for so long with my other children, I just gave up trying." With all of her other children in daycare and school, the 9 month-old is taken care of by her father. "It works out because he works nights, so by the time I get home, I am ready to take over."
Soon after starting the Work First program, Lex was hired full-time at Children First/CIS as a Parent Involvement Coordinator. She works with parents who have children enrolled in the Children First/CIS afterschool Learning Center at Pisgah View Apartments, a public housing community. In the afternoons, she helps run the after-school facility with two other staff members. The Children First/CIS after-school Learning Center is a safe-haven after-school program that is free of charge to the families and is located on-site in the community. Lex is well suited for this job: "I understand what these parents are going through, because I have been through a lot of the same issues myself."
Access to affordable, high-quality early childhood care and learning expands opportunities of for parents and children. By making investments in child care subsidy, the NC Pre-K program, Smart Start, and Head Start, we promote thriving children, as well as a thriving community.
* The availability of child care subsidy increases employment, job retention, workforce productivity, the growth of large & small businesses, & NC's tax base. Businesses that employ low-wage workers also benefit. Children receiving child care subsidy are able to access quality child care that research indicates produces an unparalleled return on investment (as much as $17 in future savings per $1 spent).
This story is part of a series collected by The Success Equation, an initiative that unites community to reduce and prevent poverty so all children can thrive. Partners include the Cathedral of All Souls, Girl Scouts Peak to Piedmont, Junior League of Asheville, Just Economics, Innovative Partners International, Searchlight Consulting, Smart Start of Buncombe County, Women's Wellbeing and Development Foundation, and YWCA.

Jeremy Irvine on War Horse, Great Expectations, and Changing His Last Name From 'Smith'
"All actors have to change their name. That's the law."
Like Drew Barrymore and Christian Bale before him, Jeremy Irvine is a beneficiary of Steven Spielberg's keen eye for actors, however little known. While studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Irvine tried out six times before he won the lead role of Albert Narracott in Spielberg's War Horse. Albert enlists in the army during WWI in part to find his horse, Joey, who's been auctioned off to the cavalry. This being a Spielberg film, you know that Albert's devotion will ultimately win out. Irvine chatted with Vulture about loving horses, playing innocent, and changing his last name from "Smith."
What's been the best part of this experience so far? Or the part you least expected?
You know, I made the mistake while I was filming War Horse of eating all the food. You see the craft-service food the production sets out and you make full use of it. The food was so good, and there was so much of it! You stock up for a week. So I went from being thinner to putting on a stone [fourteen pounds] in three months! I was telling my friends that I was doing the movie, and when the press came out with the first images of me as Albert, I got about fifteen to twenty texts from my friends saying, "Jeremy, did you eat the horse?" [Laughs.]
Actually, you can eat the horse now, here in the U.S. Even PETA supported lifting the slaughter ban, because it saved the horses from being sent on horrific train journeys to countries where slaughter was legal.
Right. Hmmm. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like horses! I wouldn't want to see any animal in pain, no matter what. I don't know the ins and outs of that, but I certainly wouldn't want any animal to be inhumanely treated. Who would?
Your character Albert really loves his horse ...
In my head, Albert has this innocence that people just don't get anymore: a complete lack of cynicism. Kids nowadays are exposed to so much, so to have someone who is completely innocent is so rare. At the same time, he's so lonely — no brothers or sisters, no real friends. So when the horse comes into Albert's life, it's like his brother. That's what I imagined. I have two younger brothers, so I saw Joey as Albert's younger brother, and I imagined how I would feel if one of my brothers was taken away from me. That's how I went about it.
You actually have some sort of family connection to World War I, don't you?
So many people across Britain and Europe do. Two of my great-grandfathers were in the war. The fact that I had relatives in the war is not extraordinary. What is extraordinary is that one of them had a horse! He kept a horse throughout the First World War, and at the end of the war, he bought it back off the army at an auction, and for nearly exactly the same amount that Albert does in the film! I've got the receipt. It's astonishing. What a coincidence!
At one point, before you became an actor, you loaned your body out to science, for medical research on an artificial pancreas.
I've been diabetic since I was 6, and the medical research team had done so much for me, it was a no-brainer to give back. I wouldn't say I was partly responsible for kids living longer lives, though. That would be very arrogant of me. There were brilliant people working every day on this, so I'm only a tiny, tiny part of it.
Your last name back then was Smith. Why the switch?
All actors have to change their name. [Laughs.] That's the law. That's how Equity works. You can't have two actors with the same name, and there was already someone named Jeremy Smith. My grandfather passed away while I was looking for a stage name, so I took his first name, and that seemed to be a quite nice solution.
You just wrapped Great Expectations. Did the exercise of exploring Albert's innocence help you in subsequently playing Pip?
No. This Pip is plain and simply ambitious. That's where it all comes from, this ambition to get out, to get away from his family life of extreme domestic violence. And he thinks being a gentleman is the best way of getting the girl that he loves. And it's not just little, silly, schoolboy love — he really loves her. So he sacrifices his relationship with Joe, who is basically his father figure, to get what he wants. That's a big deal. And when he discovers that all of it has been for nothing, his life kind of crashes around his feet. Great Expectations is one of the greatest stories. It's really easy to fall into the trap of doing a Dickens film that's all fun and jokey. This isn't that. This is a heartfelt, violent, dark adaptation. I mean, Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham? I've got great expectations for it.

Perfect Breasts
Heather gets caught in bed with Aslo. She jumps out and as she is leaving turns around showing a second better shot of her perfect breasts. I gave it **** just because in my opinion they are absolutely perfect tits.
Play competition
The first entry stage play basically involves 3 women giving a few lines then opening their tops and bouncing their tits on stage. Later the three also are found topless when they return to a suite with an unlikely male character.
Po Mo Girl #3
She also is one of the girls on stage with her breasts uncurtained who later strips off bra while retaining her panties. Much better leg exposure in panty scene.

At Pratham Books, January has been a swell month. If things continue in the same manner, we can't wait to see what the year holds for us in the coming months. To celebrate our book 'Mumtaz Embroiders Her Dreams', we ran a contest that invited kids to talk about their dreams. We received an overwhelming response and our teams have been busy this entire week sifting through the grand dreams that these children have.
The book will be launched in Bangalore on 22nd January, 2011.
The 'Mumtaz Embroiders Her Dreams" contest and book launch, made Pratham Books realise one of its oldest dreams - Community Book Launches.
But what came to us as a surprise (a happy surprise) was that one of our community members (Namrata Vora) expressed interest (on behalf of VFT Aarti Home) in buying a huge number of copies of the book to coincide with the 'National Girl Child Day' celebrations they were conducting. As we continued talking, we were suddenly talking having a book launch along with their other celebrations in Kadapa (Andhra Pradesh) too. Wow! Who would have imagined that within a few hours of talking, we were suddenly going to be having two book launches. We also partnered with VFT Aarti Home and invited entries for the 'Mumtaz Embroiders Her Dreams' contest and will soon be receiving around 200 entires from them (5 of which will receive prizes at the Kadapa launch).
The greater news is that this book launch will be handled entirely by the community member. Haven't we always said that our community rocks? This will be a first for us at Pratham Books, but this is exactly what we want. We want our community to participate with us and support us in similar ventures. We wish Namrata Vora and VFT Aarti Home all the best for a successful book launch.
You can read about the work done by VFT Aarti Home here.
NOTE : We often hear from people that we conduct our book launches only in Bangalore/Delhi and that we should come to smaller towns and cities and launch our books. If you want to join and support us and maybe help us conduct similar events in your city/town/locality/school, please send us a mail at web at prathambooks dot org.

Mecklenburg County could help send your 4-year-old to pre-school – but it would come with a tax increase.
Commissioners Tuesday discussed whether to start a program to offer subsidies so every 4-year-old can attend pre-kindergarten – and how it could be paid for.
A task force has been studying for nine months how an expanded pre-K program would work, and made several recommendations this week. But it will be up to commissioners to decide whether they want to move forward with universal pre-K, as places like Tennessee and Florida have done.
North Carolina also has a state-funded pre-K program, but it's for families making 75 percent or less of the state's median income. For a family of four, that's $52,500.
The tentative plan would be a subsidy for parents depending on how much money they make. Residents over a certain income level wouldn't get any financial help. Someone far below the poverty line would likely get their tuition paid for.
"It would be based on income, and based on family size," said Grace Reef of the Early Learning Policy Group, which worked on the task force. "A millionaire would pay full tuition."
Reef said it's unclear how parents would use the financial aid. Could the money help pay for an expensive private school? Or a church school?
"That would be determined in the design phase," she said. "The idea would be to have high-quality programs."
If commissioners move forward, Reef said the Mecklenburg program would be the state's largest for pre-K children. Buncombe County, home to Asheville, is also studying how to expand pre-K access.
As Mecklenburg tries to improve economic mobility for its poorest residents, early childhood education is seen as a way to give low-income children a boost.
The report found there are about 12,000 4-year-olds in the county.
Few of those children are served through the federal program Head Start or receive some other sort of child-care subsidy. Of the nearly 22,000 eligible children under 5 who are eligible, just under 20 percent receive child-care assistance.
The study recommended the county first clear a child-care subsidy waiting list that's just under 4,000 children. That would cost $28.3 million in each of the next six years. Reef said the waiting list is made up of parents who qualify for state and federal subsidies, but have been unable to get them because there isn't enough money.
After that, in the first three years of the program, the county could begin helping 812 children a year. In the next three years, the county would expand the program to help 1,372 additional children a year. The program would also spend money to improve the pay of pre-K teachers. It could also cover transportation costs.
By the sixth year of the program, it would cost $77.4 million annually. That would cover 6,555 children.
The study said commissioners should consider two ways to pay for pre-K. One is a sales tax increase of a quarter-cent, which would have to be approved by voters. That would raise $50 million a year.
Another option is to increase property taxes. Increasing the county's property tax rate by one penny could raise $12 million a year. For the owner of a house valued at $208,000, they would pay an additional $21 a year.
Some commissioners were skeptical.
Democrat Vilma Leake said she likes the idea, but isn't sure if the program would produce results.
"The earlier you train children or get them exposed to education, the better they come out," she said. "But I'm not sure money is always the answer. $55 million has been put out for Project LIFT and the kids are still failing." Project LIFT is a philanthropic effort to improve student achievement at West Charlotte High and schools in its feeder pattern.
Democrat George Dunlap said he is worried that pre-K gains would be erased if children lost interest in school as they grow up.
"Something happens in the fifth grade, and all of this goes away," she said.
But Democrat Trevor Fuller urged his colleagues to move forward with the idea.
"All the evidence shows that if we focus our investment in the early years we get returns," he said. "If we are trying to address economic opportunity, this is one of the best ways."
Commissioners are expected to discuss the proposal more this fall.

The ZENCUBE is based on a newly developed and world wide patent pending totally new twin winglet piping system.
Its simplicity makes fast and uncomplicated construction possible:
The ZENCUBE profiles are put together in all three dimensions with the intersection and attached to each other in every corner intersection with corner tensioners.
The corner tension system of the ZENCUBE provides a maximum of stability and highest safety up to windloads of 12 Beaufort.
At the same time spanning the profiles leads to a tightening of the membrane side pieces.
The result: outstanding surface quality of the membrane, unique design, extraordinary outdoor effect.
The structure system trusts in high-strength anodized aluminium for all static loaded parts.
An additional powder coating protects from outside influences and provides a high quality and aesthetic appearance.
A rainwater drainage inside the profiles prevents the side membrane to get dirty - this way the ZENCUBE keeps its authentic design even after strong weathers and long operation.
All add-on parts are made of aluminium or high-strength plastic. Connections to the ground are costly hot-dip galvanized and are thus well protected from corrosion.

Manchester City's Dedryck Boyata celebrates his 23rd birthday today.
The defender has been at the Etihad since joining the club from FC Brussels in 2009 but has had loan spells with Bolton Wanderers and Dutch side FC Twente during that time.
Boyata has made 17 starts for City in all competitions in the last four years.
His solitary goal came in the Europa League in 2010, when he headed past his current teammate Costel Pantilimon, who was playing for Romanian side FCU Poli at the time.
Boyata has played in both Captail One Cup games for City this season under Manuel Pellegrini and is yet to concede a goal in 210 minutes of football against Wigan Athletic and Newcastle.
Check out our gallery of Boyata in action in his City career.

Nasr is depending on his main sponsor, Banco do Brasil, to find him a ride. Last season he scored 27 points, but in the 2016 season he hasn't earned a point.There are no other Brazilian drivers in Europe being considered for a place on the grid next year. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, the favorite to claim the season title on Sunday, says Brazil needs to be in the mix.READ: F1 - No regrets for Massa ahead of final home raceRosberg said: "Your country deserves to have a good driver in a competitive car."Since 1972, Fittipaldi, Piquet and Senna have marked their names as F1 season champions eight times.But in the last decade Brazilian drivers have struggled to even to win a race. The last home triumph was in 2008 at Interlagos, but it was bittersweet.Massa took first place in his Ferrari, but lost the season title to British driver Lewis Hamilton in a McLaren.Massa, whose best results this season are two fifth places, said: "It will be very upsetting to see no Brazilian drivers in F1. We Brazilians have a lot of history in this sport. It is a tough moment. We don't have a driver that is about to break through."WATCH: This fantastic Ayrton Senna clip will inspire youA photo posted by Felipe Massa (@massafelipe19) on Nov 10, 2016 at 1:45pm PSTLast win in 2009...The last Brazilian to win an F1 race was Rubens Barrichello, who won at the Italian Grand Prix in September 2009.Since then, Brazilians haven't had much to celebrate. And even local executives of the sport believe the current trend won't end quickly."We do have Brazilian talent that could be in Formula One, but these days you need a ton of money that they don't have now," . "We have at least six drivers in Europe that could be on the Formula One grid now, but they are not wealthy enough to be."READ: Nasr to ditch Sauber, seeks new teamOne of the drivers Bernardo has faith in is 18-year-old Formula 3 driver Pedro Piquet, son of the three-time world champion Nelson.His talent and youth, Bernardo says, are signs that "the Brazilian void in Formula 1 could be short-lived."Gerson Campos, who hosts a popular motorsport TV program, disagrees.Waldner Bernardo, an official at Brazil's motorsport confederation, told The Associated Press: "None of these Brazilians abroad showed they have enough talent. If they were football strikers, they would be good to play here, but they're far from the Barcelona level."If one of those drivers goes to F1, he will stay for one or two years. We have a serious problem in fostering talents that can attract big money now. And that combination is essential today."The absence of a competitive Brazilian driver has hurt the ratings for TV Globo, the country's main broadcaster.Last year Globo shifted the United States and Mexico races to its cable channel. This year it did the same, reflecting F1's sinking popularity in the country.A photo posted by Felipe Nasr (@felipenasr) on Nov 10, 2016 at 3:14pm PST

Ruben Salazar's Suspicious Slaying
Ruben Salzar's Legacy Lives On from Robert Lopez on Vimeo.
To this day, questions still swirl around the death of L.A. Times columnist and KMEX news director Ruben Salazar, who was killed by a Sheriff's deputy on Aug. 29, 1970. I produced this Ruben Salazar video, pictured above, in 2008 after the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a stamp honoring the reporter's legacy. My Column One article was written in 1995 for the L.A. Times on the 25th anniversary of the newsman's slaying. I relied on a variety of sources, including friends and colleagues of Salazar, as well as documents from the FBI and LAPD, to reconstruct the final weeks before Salazar was killed by a sheriff's deputy while covering an anti-Vietnam War rally that exploded into violence. I also wrote a follow-up article in 1999, after waiting nearly six years for the FBI's Salazar file.

Ranting on Linux Kernel
OK, round 2. We already know by now that the latest "stable" kernel has a not so stable ALSA, when ALSA's website points 1.0.10 as the latest stable version. Now, What I can't understand is... Why can't at lease we stick with 1.0.11rc4, the latest development release, while 1.0.11 (final) isn't here, and instead we go and suck the CVS version? And how, doing that on the stable version instead of using -mm for all those masturbation purposes, dare we to rant saying that "Apparently nobody had tried to compile the ALSA CVS tree without power management enabled"? That's not even a development version, for ${DEITY}'s sake, it's fucking work in progress!

"I expect for the FBI to tell me what is going on, and they better have a good answer."
It's somewhat reassuring to learn that someone in a position of power is asking the most obvious yet largely ignored question regarding the resignation of Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.
That is: Why were Flynn's conversations with Russian diplomats being recorded in the first place?
Did agents have warrants authorizing these recordings? And who leaked them and why?
The Washington Post reports that:
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, (…) is conducting a review of Russian activities to influence the election. "The big problem I see here is that you have an American citizen who had his phone calls recorded."
Nunes said he was dismayed that those recordings had leaked, citing a complex process for tapping communications involving U.S. citizens and then "unmasking" it for intelligence use.
This concern echoes those of the president himself:
The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 14, 2017
Nunes said it was "very hard to believe" that Flynn was acting as "some sort of secret Russian agent."
He also said he saw some hypocrisy in the response of Democrats to the Flynn recording.
"Where are all the privacy groups screaming now?" he asked.
And as for these concerns about "Russian influence," why were conservatives the only ones to raise the alarm when, for example, former president Bill Clinton was paid half a million dollars to give a speech in Russia while he wife was Obama's Secretary of State? The Clinton Crime Family seemed untouchable for their obvious sins, and yet innocent Republicans are attacked with impunity. Something has to change.

Goddess of Asia 2016: Song Hye Gyo and Song Ji Hyo battle to the final seconds
The 2016 Goddess of Asia competition has concluded on September 25. After months of online voting through several rounds, Song Hye Gyo (Descendants of the Sun) and Song Ji Hyo (Running Man) were the top finalists going into the last seconds before the voting was closed. Who is the winner?
Although the official results have not been announced by the event organizer in China, social media and some news outlets have declared Song Hye Gyo the new Goddess of Asia for 2016.
Song Hye Gyo's success is greatly helped by her very loyal fans who campaigned tirelessly to urge fellow fans to continue to vote even to the last second. The beautiful actress and her leading man Song Joong Ki, known as the Song-Song Couple, saw their stars soar even higher thanks to the extreme popularity of this year's smash hit Descendants of the Sun, which unleashed a new Hallyu wave.
Song Ji Hyo (Running Man, Emergency Couple) also gained high recognition and fame in China when she starred with Chen Bolin (In Time with You) earlier this year in We Are In Love, the Chinese version of the Korean reality show We Got Married.
Popular Chinese actress Zheng Shuang (Love O2O) has also been a strong competitor. She actually ranked first during an earlier round.
Another strong contender is Girls Generation's Yoona (The K2), who starred in one of the top Chinese historical dramas this year, God of War: Zhao Zi Long.
Even though Song Hye Gyo is apparently the final winner, the top finalists have each won more than 3 million votes in the last available counts and the margins were slim.
The Goddess of Asia 2016 is an annual award organized by the Contemporary Asian Goddess Entertainment Network. According to the competition, the Goddess of Asia is more than a pretty face with an enviable figure. She must set a positive example as a graceful, even-tempered goddess who is warmhearted to others and dedicated to her work.
Congratulations to Song Hye Gyo!

Free Spirit
Ein Gedi, the famous kibbutz at the Dead Sea in Israel is perfect way to relax and chill out after a hectic five day Felting Master Class presented by International Felting Teacher and my felting guru Phyllis Hoffman from Australia. www.phylstudio.com
This was organized by The Israel Designer and Craftmen's Association of Israel
www.designcrafts.org.il and their very efficient secretary Tali Talmor.
A year ago we started FELT 4U www.felt4u.etsy.com and I must say felting is really unique in that it is dynamic and an ongoing learning exeperience, something like my philosopy of Life itself.
When I was in my early thirties, I met a man who was 21 years older than me. I was in the process of a divorce with two children. He was ruggedly handsome, an artist and bohemian who had been briefly married. He was so different from anyone I had ever met before and I fell head over heals in love with him. He changed my life in many ways made me into the person I am today. He taught me to be a free spirit and that is how I think of nuno felting. www.felt4u.etsy.com

To play pickleball, serve underhand to your opponent diagonally across the court. He must allow the ball to bounce once before returning it. Let it bounce, and then hit it back. After this, either player may volley the ball (hit it in the air) or let it bounce once.Continue Reading
Use an underhanded serving motion to begin each point. Contact the ball below your navel on the serve, keeping at least one foot in back of the baseline. Do not allow either foot to be in the court or on the baseline until you strike the ball. Aim the serve for the diagonal court opposite you, as in tennis. Get your first serve in, as there are no second serves in paddleball, except in case of a "let," in which the ball hits the net but still lands in the correct service court, resulting in a replay.
Allow the serve to bounce once, and then return it over the net, aiming within the boundary lines. Wait for the server to allow the ball to bounce and then make his return. Decide whether to advance and volley the return without letting it bounce or to allow it to bounce again. The bounce is only mandatory on the first attempt on each side for each point.
Gain points by winning a point when your team is serving. Win a point when the opponent hits the ball into but not over the net, hits it out of bounds, or fails to return it before it bounces twice (at least once in bounds). Play until one team has 11 points and is ahead by at least 2 points, although tournament matches often go to 15 or 21 points.

Wow. This is a great tea.
I have beeen enjoying 6-9 cups of Dragon Well every day for the past two years or so. I have tried Dragon Wells from roughly a dozen different suppliers over the years. Recently, I decided to switch to organic to avoid pesticides.
My search for a good organic Dragon Well was difficult. It seems like alot of them lack flavor. Thanks to TeaVivre, my search is over.
This tea produces a very light, clean cup. It was the first sip that reminded me of why I fell in love with Dragon Well in the first place.
This is the brewing method I used. I don't claim to be a tea expert.
- pour 24oz water @ 175f into my ForLife teapot
- add three large teaspoons tea leaves to the basket
- steep for 3 minutes
- let finish for 3 minutes
- enjoy with small cup
I have not tried resteeping with this one yet. I know that drives some people crazy. Please don't hate me for that.
Another clear indication to me that this is a great tea is the "tea high" I get from this tea. Here's my discussion on "tea high": http://steepster.com/discuss/1905-does-anyone-else-get-a-green-tea-high
I have only had one Dragon Well that compared to this tea. It was not organic and cost over twice as much.
This is a great tea. Thank you TeaVivre!
