Lazio through in Warsaw tie marred by crowd trouble
By Brian Homewood
BERNE (Reuters) - Lazio won 2-0 at Legia Warsaw on Thursday to qualify for the Europa League knockout stages after a tie marred by violence when Italian fans fought with Polish police on the way to the stadium.
Olympique Lyonnais, Real Betis, Eintracht Frankfurt, Racing Genk, Sevilla, Trabzonspor, Anzhi Makhachkala, AZ Alkmaar and PAOK Salonika also advanced to the last 32.
Ludogorets, Esbjerg, Salzburg, Fiorentina, Rubin Kazan, Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, Tottenham Hotspur and Valencia had already qualified with two games to spare.
Polish police said they detained around 120 Lazio fans during the trouble in Warsaw.
"Bottles and stones were thrown from the Italian group in the direction of the police cars," a spokesman said.
Lazio, who have not won away in Serie A this season, found few problems on the pitch and won with goals from Brayan Perea and Felipe Anderson against a team who have yet to score a goal in Group J.
Leaders Lyon qualified from Group I when substitute Bafetimbi Gomis sidefooted the ball home in the 66th minute following a neat exchange of passes on the edge of the penalty area to earn a 1-0 win at home to Betis who also went through.
Pacos de Ferreira striker Bebe provided the most embarrassing moment of the evening with an extraordinary miss against Fiorentina. Continued...

Jason Gardner: One Photographer's Experience Creating an Independent Book: From Image Capture to Publication
Friday, November 8, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (EST)
Event Details
Ever wonder how to put together your images and text, to produce a professionally published book? This artists talk will be about the evolution of an independent photography book by Jason Gardner called A Flower in the Mouth, showing the culture, music and rituals of the authentic, folkloric Carnaval festival in Pernambuco, Brazil. Jason recently launched A Flower in the Mouth with a solo exhibition and book launch at Lincoln Center. Jason will discuss how the project progressed over nine years, from his first journey to his fifth, from initial image capture, conducting interviews, integrating video, developing concepts, written themes, maquette design, then to crowd-funding and final publication.
A Flower in the Mouth: The Beauty and Burden of Carnaval in Pernambuco explores Carnaval, culture and ceremony of the northeast region of Pernambuco, Brazil, through 128 pages of color and black and white photographs, as well as interviews from the people shaping this dynamic culture, and personal journals by the author, Jason Gardner. The book includes a 9 track audio companion of music from the region, via a limited edition digital-only download card. Jason launched the book at with a solo exhibition and book launch at New York's Lincoln Center, in July 2013.
Jason Gardner tells stories visually, using the framework of visual anthropology. Whether documenting Carnaval around the world, creating images for a business marketing campaign, or photographing musicians for their promotion, he learns as much as possible about his subject, and often captures things not normally photographed.
The Brazilian Consulates have sponsored exhibitions of his work in 2013, 2010 and 2007. Jason was recently selected as a Finalist in PDN/National Geographic Travelers World in Focus travel photography contest, and his work has been featured on the Kodak.com Professional website. He is a board member, NY Chapter, of The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP).

Gadgets for Your Home
Whether we are harried homemakers or busy professionals with little time at home, whether single, a couple or a family with kids, we all depend in varying degrees on gadgets that help make our lives easier. Some nifty gizmos you might want to consider when you set out to buy your home appliances are:
Nespresso Le Cube: Want to buy a coffee maker that gives you as much flexibility as making coffee manually from scratch, with none of the trouble? This modern, compact and beautifully designed, exceptionally easy to use coffee machine that makes a mean espresso just might be what you're looking for. The Le Cube is designed to accommodate single servings, and the coffee quantity in each cup is programmable.
Black & Decker Dustbuster Flexi: This dustbuster offers the best of both worlds - compact and light enough to serve as a hand held vacuum cleaner, but with the advantage of a 1.5 metre long coiled hose which can be unclipped to clean bendy little nooks and corners.
Joseph Joseph adjustable rolling pin: Pastry making becomes a piece of cake if you buy this adjustable rolling pin. It comes with three sets of removable discs to raise the rolling pin 2 mm, 6 mm and 10 mm off the work surface, depending on the type of pastry being prepared. The clever design ensures that the pastry or dough is rolled to an even thickness throughout, and a pastry width measurement guide is helpfully etched into the wood.
Bamix Mono Blender: If you're looking to buy a new blender, consider this little marvel that can chop raw or cooked vegetables, fresh or frozen fruit, strain vegetables for soups and sauces, puree baby food directly in the pan, mix dough for cakes, biscuits or pancakes, liquidise fruit and berries and crush ice-cubes.
Chef 'n Sleek Slice Mandoline: Those who wish to buy a mandoline may want to consider this compact, dishwasher safe folding slicer which comes with a stainless steel micro serrated blade for efficiency, and four thickness settings to allow for slices of varying thickness.
Tefal Toast 'n Egg: Instead of buying a conventional toaster, you could opt for a toaster, egg cooker and precooked meat warmer rolled into one. It can perform each of these functions either individually or simultaneously to make a full breakfast. It has an egg poaching tray, a tray for hard boiling eggs and a wide slot toaster that can accommodate toast, bagels and muffins.

Greece Backs New Law To Receive Bailout Loans
5:04am 30th June 2011
(Updated 10:06am 1st July 2011)
The Greek parliament has passed a second austerity law which was the final hurdle to receive vital bailout loans needed to stop it defaulting on its debt.
Politicians voted to implement a five-year plan of spending cuts and tax rises required under an EU/IMF rescue package.
The law was passed after 155 MPs voted for it compared to 136 against.
On Wednesday, the parliament in Athens narrowly approved the set of debt-reduction measures, while protests raged outside.
The two bills had to be backed by MPs before the EU and IMF approved a 12bn euro (£10.8bn) instalment from the country's 110bn euro (£100bn) package of loans.
Masked protesters took to the streets on Wednesday, hurling rocks and smoke bombs at police and setting fire to buildings.
Some demonstrators sprayed fire extinguishers at police, who responded by throwing rocks.
Although the country's 48-hour strike has officially ended, the violence of the protests and their crippling effect has sparked fears of a widespread public defiance.
The vote for austerity has been welcomed in Brussels as the only option for a Greek economy still on the slide.
Greece needs nearly £4bn of the latest bailout instalment by July 15 to pay its most pressing debts.
Eurozone finance ministers are now likely to clear the latest bailout payment at talks in Brussels on Sunday.
Sky's Europe correspondent Alex Rossi reported that rocks, fireworks, pieces of masonry and petrol bombs were thrown by a "sizeable minority" of protesters in Syntagma Square, outside parliament, on Wednesday.
They were being countered by volleys of tear gas and stun grenades fired by police.
"The smell of tear gas is overpowering," Rossi said.
"I'm surrounded by people huddled in corners, washing their eyes with water, choking, and gasping."
Tens of thousands of Greeks had taken to the streets since early on Tuesday, as a mark of protest against what they see as unreasonable demands from the EU and IMF.
If the politicians had not approved the plan, Greece would have been pushed to the brink of defaulting on its debts.
But even though the government has won backing for its plan, the nation's problems are far from over.
Although it can now receive the next instalment of its EU/IMF bailout, Greece still has crippling public-sector debts worth 150% of its GDP.
The austerity measures, which include public sector wages cuts and increased taxes, may help limit further borrowing - but also risk strangling economic growth.
The new austerity package voted through on Wednesday was hailed as a "vote of national responsibility" by European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy.
In a joint statement they said: "With approval by the Greek parliament of the revised economic programme, the country has taken an important step forward along the necessary path of fiscal consolidation and growth-enhancing structural reform.
"But it has also taken a vital step back - from the very grave scenario of default."

In Japan motor manufacturers were among the fastest movers as the US figures showed car sales were running 1.9% ahead of a year ago, and with computer-related stocks also on fire, the Nikkei 225 Average soared by 286.78 points to 11,642.97.
The powerful US demand for cars has already been reflected in bumper sales and profits from Japanese carmakers, and today the impact was shown by a 52% jump to 2.2 trillion yen (£11.8bn) in the country's current account surplus to its highest since March 1993.
Carmakers' stocks responded with sharp gains, led by Mazda Motor, Japan's third-largest manufacturer, which rose 3.4% after it forecast that profits in the current year would double to 20bn yen. In the year to end-March, the company made 8.8bn yen, after losing a record 155bn yen the previous year. Mazda's results bolster the recent healthy profit figures from Toyota and Nissan, which underlined the impact of the weaker yen on Japan's export competitiveness.
Telecoms giant Nippon Telegraph & Telephone bounded 4% as investors judged that record losses revealed yesterday had the bad news on the table.
The better export outlook lifted shares of consumer electronics giant Sony, which rose almost 2%, and also shared in the euphoria that gripped recently listless technology stocks around the region.
Chip and equipment makers rocketed by up to 6% in Tokyo, and also led Taiwan and South Korea's markets sharply ahead. Taiwan shook off an early-morning earthquake, and the Weighted Average jumped 134.65 to 5890.57, a 2.3% gain, but was left behind by South Korea's Kospi index which crammed on more than 3% with a rise of 25.55 points to 862.92. The region's technology prospects were also seen to have brightened following an overnight report from US semiconductor equipment giant Applied Materials that orders were running 51% ahead of a year ago.
A lively performance in export stocks and from HSBC Holdings, up 75 cents to HK$97.25, helped lift Hong Kong's Hang Seng index by 141.49 points to 11,831.80 but the top movers were China plays. A strong 12% rise in China's industrial output in April triggered gains of up to 4% among Hong Kong stocks with big exposure to the mainland market.
In Australia, News Corp shares surged 10% as investors chose to look at brighter earnings prospects rather than fret about one-off write-downs which pushed the group into a US$4bn (£2.75bn) third-quarter loss. The All Ordinaries bounced up 112.4 to 3375.5.
Singapore investors took a more cautious view of the apparent US rebound, and while chip stocks gained, the Straits Times index rose a modest 4.77 to 1747.02. The Kuala Lumpur Composite was up 0.90 at 786.41 and the Composite in Jakarta added 1.58 to 540.20, but Thailand's SET index slipped 0.64 to 381.45.

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 18011] - Overriding built-in types fails within tasks
|Sat, 15 Mar 2003 02:11:46 GMT
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18011>. ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18011 Overriding built-in types fails within tasks ------- Additional Comments From firstname.lastname@example.com 2003-03-15 02:11 ------- Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't say that replacing a task midway through the build is really my goal. It is more an artifact of the fact that in order to provide a new implementation of, say fileset, I either have to reimplement or extend all of the tasks that support fileset where I want to use this new functionality or I have to make Ant think my task is really fileset. If Ant supported something like classifying a new task as another type (like my CCVersionSet, which extends FileSet, as a FileSet) and when it encountered a ccversionset type, it called addFileSet, I'd be perfectly happy. This would seem to take full advantage of polymorphic behavior within scripts, which is what I'm really after. Alas, it does not function so. If I had a suggestion for improvement, that would be it.

My dad John Clayton Anderson, died on Friday, August 24. He was 71 years and one month exactly as his birthday was July 24.
He had been diagnosed with lung cancer about 18 months ago but he also battled COPD. The COPD seems to be the culprit in the end although the cancer, and the chemo to help fight it, were factors as well.
Thankfully, he died very peacefully because he was sedated. And in fact, he has not dealt with actual pain at all, rather the challenges of decreased breathing and anxiety from that and weakness and reduced mobility.
He had been hospitalized in June and the doctors thought he might not make it then. I rushed to the US to be with him and he improved! So I had five weeks with he and Judi during which I could help with practical care and just have time together. I am very grateful for those weeks. Last year as well, after his diagnosis, I spent three weeks with them, longer than I usually do, and had a really nice time then too.
So although I did not make it back in time to be with him this time before he died, I feel I am blessed by the times we did have.
I was en route to be with him when he died, that was tough getting the news before boarding the first of three long flights and layovers, a 48 hour journey in all. But now I will be able to be with Judi, my step-mom, in such a challenging time and help with all the practical things that need doing. I'm so glad I am able to help.
I have so appreciated the prayers and encouraging words these last two years when I have shared things about my dad. I also appreciate people who have given to help with the travel costs, what a blessing! God does indeed provide in amazing ways.
Friends, go tell your loved ones you love them. Spend time with them instead of the computer. Forgive what needs forgiving. Mend what needs mending. Enjoy every moment you have with the people you love.
Love, Laura

Pallekele, Aug 4: Irfan Pathan claimed five wickets to help India beat Sri Lanka by 20 runs in the fifth ODI at Pallekele. India also claimed the second spot in the ODI rankings after winning the series 4-1.
Scorecard; 5th ODI: Ind Vs SL, Pallekele
Highlights: 5th ODI: India Vs Sri Lanka
Irfan Pathan claimed his second career-best figures (5/61) as he rocked Sri Lanka early on. Chasing a target of 295, the Lankans hopes were dashed when Pathan claimed his first wicket of opener Tillakaratne Dilshan, who got out for a duck. Upul Tharanga (31) and Lahiru Thirimanne looked set until Pathan struck again to claim opener Tharanga.
Thirimanne and Jeevan Mendis fought back after Lanka lost three wickets in quick succession, Dinesh Chandimal (8), Angelo Mathews (13) and Chamara Kapugedera (9) were dismissed in the space of 5 overs for 28 runs.
However, Thirimanne and Mendis racked up 102 runs for the sixth wicket to bring Sri Lanka back in the game. Thirimanne scored 77 runs before being run out while Pathan took three important wickets of Mendis, 72 runs, Thisara Perera (18) and Senanayake (7).
India will aim to end the tour with a win in the only Twenty20 game at Pallekele on August 7, Tuesday.
India's First Innings Report
Having won the toss and elected to bat, India lost Ajinkya Rahane in the 6th over for 9, while Virat Kohli (23) also made his way to the pavilion after making a good start as he was trapped leg before by Nuwan Pradeep.
Gautam Gambhir (88) and Manoj Tiwary (65) played a fabulous innings, as they added 110 runs for the 4th wicket. Gambhir played a gritty knock as he scored 88 off 99 balls which included 7 boundaries.
While Gambhir scored his 33rd ODI fifty, Manoj Tiwary also raced to his second ODI fifty as he scored 65 off 68 balls.
Gambhir and Kohli added 48 runs for the second wicket which was the third highest partnership for India in the 5th ODI.
Rohit Sharma's disappointing form continued as he was out for 4, bowled for the 13th time in ODIs, while Suresh Raina (0) also couldn't repeat the magic again as it all depended on skipper Dhoni and Irfan Pathan to post a decent score in order to defend the total.
Dhoni during his knock of 58 reached 2000 ODI runs against Sri Lanka as Gambhir reached 5000 ODI runs during the fifth ODI at Pallekele. Pathan (29*) along with Dhoni added 77 runs for the 7th wicket, the second highest of the match.
With 295 needed from 50 overs, Lanka rely on the opening pair Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan, Dinesh Chandimal to play a vital knock in order to save pride for the nation after losing the series 3-1.
Playing XIs
India: MS Dhoni (captain), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli (vice-captain), Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Ajinkya Rahane, Manoj Tiwary, Ashok Dinda
Sri Lanka: Angelo Mathews (captain), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Dinesh Chandimal, Thisara Perera, Lahiru Thirimanne, Lasith Malinga, Chamara Kapugedera, Sachithra Senanayake, Jeevan Mendis, Isuru Udana, Nuwan Pradeep.

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively and Leonardo Di Caprio have gone their separate ways.
The two got cozy aboard Steven Spielberg's yacht in Monte Carlo on May 17 during the Cannes Film Festival. We saw them trotting 'round the world from Venice to Australia, holding hands, riding bikes, having fun.
But today reps for both stars tell Us Weekly the split is amicable and the two remain "friends."
Lively, however, may have already found a new friend. The Boston Heraldreports that Lively and Ryan Reynolds took a train from New York to Boston after they, along with Scarlett Johansson, went to the Radiohead concert last week. Lively and Reynolds, who worked together on Green Lantern, were spotted later having a nice sushi dinner.

bushwhacking gloria
by ninotchka rosca
It's the most popular item on the HuffPost, with nearly 200,000 viewers and nearly 1,500 comments, most expressing astonishment at what George W. said to Gloria Mac-Arroyo, de facto president to de facto president. He said "First, I want to tell you how proud I am to be the President of a nation that — in which there's a lot of Philippine-Americans. They love America and they love their heritage. And I reminded the President that I am reminded of the great talent of the — of our Philippine-Americans when I eat dinner at the White House." And then added: "And the chef is a great person and a really good cook, by the way, Madam President. "
I wish she'd replied, with a smile, "thanks and General Taguba was no pushover either" or "I hope she serves you dinuguan" or "have you checked on your dogs lately?" But she sat there like stone, muttering "thank you" as George W. Bush stereotyped her and her entire nation.
Oich! To discern ethnic stereotyping can be difficult, especially if one has had little experience with racism. In my early months in New York, a guest at a dinner given in my honor started telling me about her maid in Italy. This guest was Rome bureau head of a mega news magazine and she had a "Filipino maid" who was, as she put it, a "good person" but who had started pilfering small items. Embarrassed, I vacillated between allegiance to my compatriot (how much was this news great paying her?) and being polite, per Catholic nuns' instruction. Fortunately, my host returned from the kitchen, asked what we were talking about, gave me a swift glance, and started shouting at her guest: "Why are you telling her this? She's a journalist and a writer. What's she got to do with maids? With your maid?"
The Rome bureau head stuttered, turned red and said, "I just thought…" My host snapped: "Well, you just stop that thought right now!"
Not having experienced insidious, constant and subtle ethnicstereotyping, I had to work out the subtext of that conversation in my sleep and woke up furious. A year later, as guest of honor at a one-woman show at a Washington D.C. art gallery, I was introduced to the artist's mother, who promptly said: "Oh, you're from the Philippines! My daughter's nanny is from the Philippines." By then, I could snap back: "What a coincidence! My secretary's white!"
How ironic that one had to be prickly to fit into this society, especially when one wasn't white. But one had to acquire armor against the subtle put-downs, usually given when one was occupying, in the eyes of the put-downer, a "privileged" position. When my first book was reviewed favorably by the Times and my excited landlady made practically everyone in our building read the article, one neighbor who had a toy terrier with a diamond collar asked, "is it true Filipinos eat dogs?" I said of course and called out to his dog, "here, Foxy, here; straight to the kitchen, I'll make you a good dinner."
Sometimes you just have to out gross "them."
Many Filipinos do not get this kind of nuanced insult. Some would even be flattered that George W. remembered the Filipina chef in the White House kitchen, "a very good cook," chrissakes. It's akin to the pleasure we feel when a feudal warlord joins the town fiesta and dances with the hoi polloi; never mind that he's just taken away half of the harvest. I've had Filipinos tell me to "please not insult our American friend" who's just insulted me galore, as if they, despite citizenship, weren't Americans. I would've dearly loved to have said "neither can your president" to this guy in my neighborhood – a guy who, upon catching sight of me walking on the sidewalk, said over his cell phone that the place was beginning to be full of aliens "who can't even speak English." As it was, I could only advise him to buy a Vlasik and sit on it.
Two things mystify me about this Gloria Mac-Arroyo visit. First, the "roll-in-the-dust" gratitude for the paltry sum of $700 million in aid, considering the public humiliation. If it's just a matter of money, overseas Filipino workers send home up to $20 billion per year, without needing to insult anyone. Had Gloria Mac-Arroyo been attentive to their needs – ordered the government to negotiate for really decent wages and working conditions for domestic workers, instead of the monthly $200 they get at the United Arab Emirates, for instance, working 16 hours 24/7 – the bloody $700 million would've meant only a hundreddollar donation per OFW. Were the Philippine government just a shade more caring, OFW's would've sent home an extra billion dollars, with pleasure and without subjecting even the most deserving public servant to public embarrassment.
More, that would've been cold, hard cash — unlike foreign aid, which is usually spent on goods made by American corporations and on salaries for American experts who tell Filipinos what to do and how to do it. Aid is not aid for the recipient country; it is aid for American big business who thus are spared the need to be grateful for U.S. taxpayer's money. More, such goods invariably change the lifestyle of the recipient country so it becomes a vulnerable market for U.S. goods. It's part of the national US budget for advertising. Consider that at one time, the weight-loss meal replacement Metrecal was sent to the Philippines as part of foreign aid.
After all these years of receiving foreign aid, one would expect Philippine government officials to conclude that foreign aid, foreign investments, etc., do not solve/resolve anything; that issues of poverty and inequity have to be resolved at ground level, by our bootstraps, as it were.
The second mystifying thing is why Gloria Mac-Arroyo started thanking U.S. congress people for the Filipino Veterans Equity Bill – which is not even approved yet. The bill is intended to provide pensions for the few surviving Filipinos who fought with USAFFE in WWII; they were denied equal benefits as U.S. soldiers by the Rescission Act of 1946 which declared that the services of some 250,000 Filipinos under the U.S. Armed Forces in the Far East "shall not be deemed to be or to have been service in the military or national forces of the United States or any component thereof or any law of the United States conferring rights, privileges or benefits."
That clause meant no medical attention, no recognition, nothing whatsoever, all history of that service erased. I have occasionally exclaimed, "that's what you get for fighting under a foreign flag" but this is such a palpable act of racism it cannot be overlooked.
Over the years, the veterans and a few allies have fought to eke out "rights, privileges or benefits," starting with access to the Veterans Hospital. Now here comes Gloria Mac-Arroyo thanking US legislators for an unpassed bill, pretending that she had had a role in the struggle for veterans' rights. And who weren't thanked for this struggle for equal rights? Why the veterans themselves, the Fil-Am community of supporters, advocates who'd gotten old and hoarse trying to correct this discrimination. As 86-year-old veteran Faustino Baclig said, "sobra ang tsu-tsu" (too much of a suck-up).
Because the Philippine government refuses to recognize and rely on the indomitable character of the people it purportedly governs and represents, because the Philippine government continues to be led by suck-ups, all who are of Philippine ancestry become vulnerable to ethnic stereotyping, public humiliation and the disgrace of being perpetual beggars even as the Philippines gives away all of its resources — from human to natural. Sad, just too sad. — ##

Her feudal mindset is showing, this time around not as master but as a subject to a colonial master.
Should I be upset over it, nahhhhh she deserves it, besides she took it like a typical subservient subject. I guess she is not that smart after all and all that Napoleonic complex was really all for show and deep inside she is just one insecure trapo whose greed and insatiable appetite for power gets the better of her. She has no one to blame but herself and her fellow trapos for bringing the nation down and putting herself in a situation where she is more of a nuisance beggar when she could have used her position and power to uplift our nation and people.
It just shows that there are people better than her like Ninotchka who will not take shit from anyone and so should we…… besides I don't consider her as the Philippines legitimate president and therefore does not represent this Jaywalker.
June 27, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I disagree!
George W. Bush might just singlehandedly have pushed Philippine cuisine into the American mainstream, which decades of nationalist raving and ranting has not been able to do.
As for ninotchka rosca, if you knew half of her biography, you wouldn't be gracing this blog with her name. Like Joma she's a parasite on the hide of her host country. Yecch!

Para kay DJB Rizalist:
Hindi rin naman nagawa iyan ng ranting and raving mo sa blog mo — o sa kahit saan. Salamat sa pagtingin mo, nakikita nating talaga namang tumutugma ang ganitong ethnic stereotyping sa dikta ng pamilihan. Eh mabuti ba kung cook ka sa ibang bansa, o OFW, baka maunawaan pa kita. Pero komportable ka lang naman sa heckling mo dito sa Pilipinas.
Napakalaki ng problema mo — pati ni MLQ3 sa kaso ni Jun Lozada — kapag nagku-quote ang mga tao ng mga maka-Kaliwa. Samantalang kayong mga maka-Kanan, nagkalat sa mundo. Ang sistemang ipinagtatanggol mo, parasitiko sa mga mamamayan.
June 28, 2008 at 8:46 am
Ayan na naman kayong dalawa (Teo and Angela),nagtataray na naman kayo,you guys ha… Aren't we all amused that, on DJB Rizalist's account, we are all reminded that a pact with the powerful does not register online without ironic self-betrayal?

What's new…
You realise that this is nothing new — Bushie merely joined the international community when he said to Gloria, the de facto prez of the Philippines that she reminds him of his kitchen help. I still have to meet someone where I'm based who doesn't boast of possessing Philippine domestic helper, nanny, gardener, busboy, etc.
The difference between me and Gloria is that whenever I meet a person who boasts of possessing Filipino labour in his/her household in the EU or in NATO functions is that I don't ever ever say "Thank you." (Gloria, having no shame nor dignity would kiss the ground Bush walks on.)
Sometimes, when I've had more than one cocktail, I would quip, You mean, you can afford? You must be wealthy! Filipino help is darn expensive!" (knowing that most of the time, unlike folks working in industry, these EU civil servants live on their meagre salaries and NATO folks are not exactly that well off.)
June 28, 2008 at 10:34 pm
hey anna ;) yes nothing new, except for bushie so publicly joining the club of pinoy downers who don't know better. but great to hear the little stories of pinoys, pinays, snapping back, for a change.
June 29, 2008 at 12:25 am
I didn't feel it was offensive, though. That's probably because I, like you were, don't have experience with racism?
Except when I was in a tour in Thailand, where a tour guide called to me: "Hey, you saying something?.. yes you, Filipino!" I realized it was offensive only after I woke up the other day.
June 29, 2008 at 1:49 am
hey j ;) now that you mention it, oo nga, haven't experienced it myself. if anything, ako pa nga yata ang racist in the sense na i'm wary of foreigners in general – must have something to do with our historical experience. actually what i found really offensive was gma's thank you ;-(
June 29, 2008 at 2:58 am
silvester, yes, djb rizalist is quite an online case study. puwede ngang pagtawanan na lang ;)
June 29, 2008 at 3:05 am
J is right — I don't believe that Dubya's comments smacks of racist overtones, just of downright ignorance. Frankly, I don't believe the guys who also boast to me that they possess Filipino labour at home were being racist. Matter of fact, when they do that, I think they're merely trying to be social but one doesn't have to "thank" the guy for mouthing that kind of drivel.
On my side, I've been almost always suspected of being Chinese, Vietnamese, etc. but most of the time, I'm taken for a Thai, etc. (even in Thailand, customs officers would talk to me in Thai — hahah, and once, I was at a counter at the Thai Intl airport, a Thai woman came up to me asking for my autograph — couldn't understand what she was on about until the sales clerk said, she thought you were the Thai TV star so and so — I roared in laughter but was flattered by the thought!) but I was never, or almost never suspected of being Filipino that's why most are suprised when I say I'm a Filipino (or maybe because I'm usually taller than most Filipina women they've met — I don't know) and I guess that's why people I meet here try to make up by making lil talks about owning Filipino labour at home.
June 29, 2008 at 1:50 pm
still, ethnic stereotyping IS racist, and we could do with less of it.
June 29, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Anna, yes and they don't have any idea it might be offensive.
Well mentioning your Filipino maid to a Filipino might not be a prudent thing to do. But I don't find it racist.
In Japan, I met a certain Susan Wellington from the British Embassy. We were both judges in the national debate tournament. She thought I was full-blooded Japanese. When I told her I was born in the Philippines, she said: "Oh, our cook (or driver, I'm not sure now) is Filipino! And he's very hardworking."
Then she went on to say how she prefers Filipinos over other nationalities because Filipinos can easily adapt with other cultures.
I wasn't offended. In fact, I felt proud.
But of course, there are some who would mention their maids to you with the intent of insulting you. Now, that's racist. But this isn't the case with Bush I think.
June 29, 2008 at 11:26 pm
can anyone believe bush when he says that he is proud of the filipinos in the light of the war in Mindanao, Balikatan exercises, Oplan Bantay Laya, etc?
and do some of us really think that the most powerful fascist on earth needs anybody to defend him against ninotchka or angela?
for whom are we saying that bush did not mean to be racist or never intended to insult anyone?
July 2, 2008 at 6:23 am
Bush is not a racist. He's a tongue-tied liar, an ignorant elitist hick, and an embarrassment to Democracy. He may also be a sociopathic moron. But to call him a racist is just insulting racists. After hurricane Katrina, Kanye West said that "Bush hates black people." Kanye missed the point. Bush hates POOR people not black. Or at least he doesn't give a damn about poor people.
August 3, 2008 at 11:16 pm
i have a question about this incident that i've asked in other blogs:
why was this offensive? Didn't he say that he liked the cooking of the white house chef? Isn't the white house chef a skilled food artisan who can find work in any restaurant in the world? Why is this racism? Is it the profession(service? cooking?) thats the matter? If he associated filipino talent with lawyering, is that better and why?
thanks, if u could help me understand
August 7, 2008 at 3:52 pm
gabbyd :) well because it was ALL he had to say about pinoys. if he had mentioned general taguba man lang also, i wouldn't have taken offense.

Informative but a little too much religion
If you're a religious Conservative, then this book is for you. If you're more of a LIberal, you may want to skip it. Soon after I bought the audio book, I saw the author being interviewed by Glenn Beck where he stated how "God established America". I knew what to expect from that point forward. However, after listening to the audio book, I feel there is some good information in it with respect to investing in today's economy. There is also a good degree of fear mongering and doomsday prep advice which may or may not be valid. The author's advice on gold and silver makes sense in terms of the pros and cons of owning it physically vs. storing it. He also does a nice job of explaining basic investing terminology and the different types of investments out there. Overall, I would recommend the book but be advised that there are sections where the author quotes the Bible extensively and to a large degree, pushes his religious views on the reader/listener.
The ending was primarily Bible quotes and felt more like a book on religion than a book offering investing advice. Even though there are other religions that promote similar beliefs with respect to greed, hoarding, and reaching out to help our fellow man, the ending was completely biased toward just one religion. That's great if you happen to share the author's religious views but if you're of another faith or an atheist, it may not be a pleasant experience.
The narrator did an excellent job.
Not a chance.

Canada Q3 industrial capacity use edges down
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian industries used less of their capacity in the third quarter than ever before, but manufacturers had less slack in their production lines for the first time in five quarters as the economy stabilized.
Industries -- including mines, factories, utilities and drilling rigs -- operated at 67.5 percent of capacity, down from a revised 67.7 percent in the second quarter, Statistics Canada said on Monday. That was the lowest since record-keeping began in 1987 but stronger than expected largely because of a jump in auto production.
The median forecast of analysts in a Reuters poll was for a 67.0 percent capacity utilization rate, based on dismal industrial production data even as signs emerged that the economy was starting to recover from recession during the third quarter.
At the same time, manufacturers ramped up their capacity use to 65.6 percent from 64.7 percent, the first increase in five quarters after automakers reopened some production capacity shuttered earlier this year.
"Manufacturers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts significantly increased their production to meet rising demand, mostly from the United States," Statscan said in a release.
The transportation equipment industry overall -- three-fifth of which is automakers -- jumped 5.5 percentage points to 53.6 percent capacity utilization.
Chemical and wood manufacturers also contributed to the gain.
Non-manufacturers scaled back their capacity use across all sectors, pressured by the mining and oil and gas extraction sectors. Continued...

LONDON (AFP) – Graeme Souness believes Manchester United face a lengthy transition period if manager Louis van Gaal's favoured 3-5-2 formation is to succeed at Old Trafford.
Van Gaal has still to oversee his first Premier League win as United boss, with the faltering English giants having lost to Swansea on the opening day and been held to draws by both Sunderland and Burnley.
Meanwhile the Dutchman also suffered the embarrassment of seeing United knocked out of the English League Cup following a 4-0 defeat by third-tier Milton Keynes Dons.
Liverpool and Scotland midfield great Souness questioned whether United had the players in their squad to set-up with three at the back.
"If Van Gaal is determined to persist with a back three, this is going to be a long and painful transition for United," the former Liverpool, Rangers, Blackburn and Southampton manager wrote in his Sunday Times column.
"The team may take until November to settle down. You ain't going to win the league if you take that long and you might not make the Champions League places either," Souness added.
"United have already dropped seven points from a possible nine. If you continue with three at the back and the results are not improving, players will not be slow in turning round and pointing their fingers at the coach, saying, 'It's not that I am not playing well, it's the system'."

Security breach hits Independent Bank
There are 24 comments on the WOOD-TV Grand Rapids and Michigan story from Feb 11, 2009, titled Security breach hits Independent Bank. In it, WOOD-TV Grand Rapids and Michigan reports that:An as-yet-unidentified number of check cards issued by Ionia-based Independent Bank could be at risk after a recent security breach at payment processor Heartland Payment Systems.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at WOOD-TV Grand Rapids and Michigan.
#1 Feb 11, 2009
Hope that this incident didn't happen in January and they are just now notifying customers? If so, somebody should be fired!
#2 Feb 11, 2009
The bank is out of Ionia and they probley figure like the county( Ionia) they own you too.
#3 Feb 11, 2009
I am currently experiencing the same situation with Byron Bank..they sent me a letter last week and a new card is on the way. They have been GREAT about it tho..to their credit!!
#4 Feb 11, 2009
I belong to another bank, a credit union in Ionia. They sent me a letter on January 28th and a new card as well.
Michgian One Credit Union was on the ball shortly after this happened. I had two notice two weeks ago....Thank you Michigan One.
#5 Feb 11, 2009
I have an account at Independent and have not received any notification from the bank nor have I seen anything posted on their website. I work for another local bank who let their customers and employees know about this in January.
United States
#6 Feb 12, 2009
I have several accounts with Independent Bank and this is the first I have heard about this problem. Thank you News 8. My bank hasn't notified me of any problem yet.? Strange! I hope they contact their customers soon!
#7 Feb 12, 2009
I belong to Option 1 CU in G.R. and have already received a letter of the compromise, and and new debit card. Their customer service is excellent!
#8 Feb 12, 2009
Yes, I bank at Option 1 credit union too and I got a letter, new debit card and new pin. No fraud happened on my account but maybe it would have if Option1 hadn't acted so quickly. you people who have accounts at a bank should take a look at credit unions. i love my credit union!!!!
#9 Feb 12, 2009
It was recently brought to my attention that my Independent bank account and routing numbers were compromised the end of December,(December 24). A relatively small amount of money was routed to an account at Fifth Third Bank. The FBI has been brought in on the matter. This crime is part of a large bank fraud ring. I'm still waiting to hear more of the details. I believe someone local must be involved in the fraud ring because the money was routed first in Michigan and not to another state or country.
Other familiy members had a similar problem occur last year at a credit union in Wyoming, MI
#10 Feb 12, 2009
I am a long-time customer of Independent Bank and believe the story by WOOD TV 8 was poor and unprofessional. This data breach impacted hundreds of banks across the country. For WOOD TV 8 to single out Independent Bank is wrong. Shame on WOOD TV 8. Independent Bank is the victim in this matter.
Further, Independent Bank has been very proactive in notifying customers. The timing of notification has to do with when the information is provided to the financial institution by the card company (VISA or MasterCard). Finally, as Independent Bank outlines in their customer notification, they have sophisticated fraud detection software which protects customers (like me) 24 hours per day. Perhaps the financial institutions mentioned in the other comments do not have software like this and as a result had to issue new cards.
United States
#11 Feb 12, 2009
I was told by a bank rep today that Wood 8 blew the story W a y out of proportion. Letters, a scant few needed, were sent to those who needed them, at the time the event occured in Jan.
United States
#12 Feb 12, 2009
I work in the payments industry and it is important to note a couple of things. First, there is no breach at Independant Bank. None. The breach occured at Heartland which is a credit card processor. So, the only way any of your personal info would be compromised would be if you conducted a transaction at a merchant that uses Heartland for payment processing. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with your bank.
For every bank to reissue credit and debit cards for every single one of their customers would be an expensive and very unneccessary measure. If you are concerned that your date may have been breached, then it is imperative that you do contact your bank and have no info corrected. I check my bank account EVERY day, if there is anything out of the ordinary, I can catch.
Finally, if there are large charges ($25+ or more depending on the card type) that are fraudulent, you still have options and your bank can get you squared away.
Heartland announced the breach on Inauguration Day and many in our industry are not too pleased that they waited to do it when all the attention would be focused elsewhere. I am not saying it was done on purpose, but it certainly was very convenient.
This is a typical hack job by Wood TV, but if you read the article, it does explain to some degree what happened.
Bottowmline, by diligent about monitoring your account and if you are concerned, go into your branch and speak to someone there.
United States
#13 Feb 12, 2009
Sorry, I meant to put "have your info updated", not "have no info corrected" above.
#14 Feb 12, 2009
I have banked with Independent Bank for many years, and was very concerned when I saw this story on the news last night. I called my branch to find out what was going on. After getting the facts, I cant beleive that WOOD used Independent Bank's name in the headline, when they were not breached. All they were doing was notifying their customers who could possibly be affected. Maybe WOOD should run a story on the banks who DID NOT notify their customers.
#15 Feb 12, 2009
I received mine today, so if you don't get yours I assume yours wasn't part of the Heartland issue. By the way, Independent's Web site has posted all of this on the Web site in News on the home page. FAQs and a number to call with any questions.
#16 Feb 12, 2009
I agree. WOOD needs to do their homework before they make assumptions. That's called fair and balanced reporting.
#17 Feb 12, 2009
I wholeheartedly agree with the statemennt "shame on Wood TV" - get your facts straight before you slam an institution that is not at fault. Sensational journalism comes to mind, using a misleading headline only to clarify further down in the body of the article there is no foul. We all know how seldom people actually read more than just the opening paragraph.
I applaud Independent Bank for taking such proactive measures when they weren't compromised in any way. That should have been the headline.
United States
#18 Feb 12, 2009
During these tough times, local companies should should support each other. The people who work in your community banks are your neighbors, your friends. Independent Bank's sincere efforts to inform and help customers are the story that was missed here.
#19 Feb 13, 2009
Typical of WOOD TV, poor reporting, distorted story, name one rather than all affected, create shock....
Typical junk!!!!
When is the media going to do some good reporting?
Anyone in this media group groing pot or is that only GR Press? maybe their smokin' it with him.
#20 Feb 13, 2009
As a long time Independent Bank customer and share holder, I do not appreciate the frenzy that was created by your broadcast. It clearly states in the article published by Tony Tagliavia that "Cardholder names may have been exposed in a small percentage of cases. Investigators have apparently not determined how many if any card numbers were actually stolen during the security breach at Heartland". There are several banks that use Heartland for their card processing. How dare you target Independent Bank as the only bank involved and stating that checking accounts were affected.
"The data involved did not contain customers' personal information or checking account numbers."
"Independent Bank has been proactive in notifying customers of the potential impact of the security breach."
"This breach was in no way directly or indirectly caused by any actions of Independent Bank."
This was clearly a Heartland issue and needs to be addressed properly.

The looming deadline of January 1, 2012, is prompting many MRI scan providers to apply for accreditation. According to section 135 of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, as of this date, any provider of advanced imaging services billing under Medicare Part B must be accredited to receive payment. Choosing the cheapest service might jeopardize not only your accreditation, but also the health of your MRI system.
The annual MRI performance test required under the ACR® accreditation program is its annual physical, and the results provide not only a higher degree of confidence in the technical characteristics of your unit, but also function as an important check on the quality of service that your vendor provides.
As you consider the physics services that you will need to support your accreditation process, these 10 questions can help you identify those with the competence and experience needed to facilitate the process (and to give you confidence that your system is performing well). They will also help you assess the true value of a quote by identifying support services that might or might not be included in the price.
First, are you qualified, under ACR requirements, to perform annual MRI testing? Generally, this will require board certification for medical physicists or an advanced degree and a minimum of three years of experience in testing MRI for those qualifying as MRI scientists. Not all medical physicists have experience with MRI. You can also ask if the tester serves as an ACR reviewer, which shows an extra level of experience. Ask for the tester's ACR number, and if he or she does not have one, ask why not.
Second, how long does your testing take? To meet the criteria specified by the ACR for the annual exam, even the most efficient and competent MRI physics group will require at least two to four hours. If someone tells you that he or she can finish testing in less time, be very wary.
Third, do you conduct testing outside normal scanning hours? The typical MRI scanner generates about $750 to $1,000 per hour in technical revenue, and MRI testing takes hours. If the physics group requires part of your scanning day for testing, that can cost thousands of dollars in lost patient time. Remember to add such costs when you are comparing quoted fees for services.
Fourth, do you operate the MRI equipment without assistance? This question is very important. Those with limited experience cannot possibly offer you a competent test if they can't run the MRI system. Would you trust your car to a mechanic who couldn't drive it? Some argue that they can tell the technologist what exams to run, but why should you pay for a technologist to stay with the tester?
Others might say that they oversee testing by your vendor's service personnel, but how independent can such testing possibly be? Be extremely skeptical if a group needs any assistance during testing. If you still decide to employ it, require it to pay for the overtime cost of any assistance that it needs.
Fifth, how many MRI units from my vendor and of my model have you tested in the past 12 months? Just as you would in researching the background of a surgeon for an open-heart procedure, you want someone who has experience with your equipment. Require at least two previous tests, unless you have a very new or unusual MRI model. Don't be afraid to ask where the previous tests were done.
Sixth, do your reports include all of the test criteria required by the ACR? Some groups try to save time and money by cutting corners. Ask for a copy of a representative report from the group. The ACR has established minimum test requirements in its published quality-control (QC) manual for MRI.¹
Check to see whether the testing and the report include all specialty coils used clinically (the report must include the model and serial number for each coil, as well as the transmit gain information from the test); homogeneity testing on the magnet; and luminance testing on the system monitor. Note that the ACR will reject reports not meeting its requirements. If this happens to you, you must get the testing group to return, complete testing, and resubmit the report. This can delay your accreditation significantly.
Seventh, what fraction of MRI units pass your annual testing without any errors? Considering that you pay many thousands of dollars each year for a service contract, who is checking to see whether your vendor is doing a good job? If a physics

Korakundah Tea
Late last year I received a package with two amazing teas from India. There were given to me by Naveen Murugesan -who kindly contacted me on his trip to Barcelona- and whose brother in law owns the factory in Nilgiri. Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to meet in person but we were in touch by email until I had the package with me.
The tea brand is Korakundah, a name given after the plantation where these teas are grown and produced. According to the Australian Tea Masters, Korakundah plantation in India is the highest altitude tea factory in the world at approximately 7000 feet and they belong to the United Nilgiri Tea estates Co Ltd (UNITEA).
The two teas that I received are an organic white tea, a rarity from Nilgiri, and a classic black tea typical of this region.
Thank you Naveen for being so kind and contacting me during your stay in Barcelona. It has been a pleasure to taste these teas and to be able to enjoy many cups just for myself. I hope you enjoyed your visit and I look forward to tasting more of these delicious teas in the future.

Autumn essentials
Autumn is definitely one of my favourite seasons, the crisp and clear air is so refreshing and invigorating!
Even though I tend to drink more oolongs and green teas all year round and perhaps more black teas during the winter, in this season any warm cup of tea is a great option. Choosing which one to have is a very personal choice and it depends of so many things: our mood, our personal preferences in general, our day ahead and the precise demands of our tastebuds. In today's post I just wanted to make a list of my 4 autumn all time favourite teas (+ 1 rooibos), the ones I keep repeating every year and share it with you:
- Cui Yu Oolong: creamy, luscious, floral and aromatic, this exquisite Taiwanese oolong is a great choice for every season. It is always surprising and pleasant.
- Mao Feng: vegetal, aromatic and sweet, this green tea is light but with lots of character. A good option for breakfast, lunch or as an afternoon tea. I like to make it a bit concentrated in a porcelain gaiwan.
- Earl Grey: the bergamot scent of this tea is so uplifting and the blend so balanced and heart warming that I just love it. This is one of the few teas that I usually drink with a splash of soy milk.
- Second flush Darjeeling: Aromatic, light, fruity with the characteristic charming muscatel taste that makes it an all time favourite.
- Natural rooibos: Although I am not a big fan of rooibos, it is nice as a caffeine-free option. During these cold seasons I prefer it over a light herbal infusion. I like its silky texture and vanilla-like taste.
What are your top five for this season?
Ready for winter? 😉 xo
Bontemae in Barcelona
Few months ago I attended a Bontemae class at Matcha House Europe, in the barrio of Gracia in Barcelona. Bontemae is a "simplified" version of chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony, but it is still very complex, deep and difficult to perform. It is based on the same principles of the full ceremony only that it is performed in a tray on a table instead of on the tatami at the teahouse.
Our teacher was Nuria, a Japanese Spanish teacher that has been studying chanoyu for more than 20 years in Japan at the Urasenke school. We were five people around the table from which just three of us were students. Together we shared an amazing two-hour class, watching carefully, learning, practising and contemplating the grace of each movement she performed. We learnt how to clean the utensils, how to whisk the matcha, fold the "chakin" (the silk cloth) among other things, and we practised the whole routine at least couples of times. We ate our "okashi" and enjoyed every minute of the class.
One of the things I appreciate the most about the Japanese Tea Ceremony is the level of detail, the simplicity and the complexity of what seems obvious and simple; the acknowledgement of space, surroundings and the ceremony or ritual itself. The respect for everything and for everybody, the feeling of full awareness and what this all mean to you in a personal way.
I treasure every tea ceremony or class I have attended, each one has been unique and has taught me different things. I love the opportunity it provides to connect to the simplicity and the beauty of things, to share just by being there and the way it makes everything so special. It always leaves me a feeling of fulfilment and peace.
I want to finish this post with the phrase Ichi-go ichi-e (一期一会), a concept that I love that is also connected to 'the way of tea' that has been translated as "one time, one meeting" or "one encounter; one opportunity". Meaning, roughly, that every moment is unique and it cannot be repeated the same way…. That always remind how important it is to enjoy life in every way possible.
Thank you Matcha House and Nuria for this opportunity, I hope we can enjoy another class very soon!
Grey's Teas
This month I received tea samples from Grey's Teas, a brand that I had heard of but that I hadn't have the chance to try so far. So, I was fortunate enough to be contacted by Richard Grey, his founder, to taste and review some of their teas. I chose samples that were new for me so I could also take the opportunity to discover the brand through teas I am not familiar with.
Tai Ping Hou Kui
I find it light bodied, quite vegetal but also nutty and with toasted notes that remind me slightly to hojicha. Spinachy, a bit citrusy as well almost like lemon. Aftertaste quite toasted like tobacco and wood. Judging from its appearance, I never imagined these distinctive roasted notes coming out of this green tea.
Kenya White Lelsa Silver Tip
Wet leaves have citrusy aroma like passion fruit or tamarind. The flavour is like hay with a dark chocolate long aftertaste. The color of the liquor is yellowish, not so pale to be a white tea. Quite an interesting discovery!
Formosa GABA Oolong
Wet leaves smell like dried plum. It is very fruity and heavy in the mouth, round and velvety. Low astringency, notes of pineapple and a toasted end. And, on top of that, you get all the benefits of GABA in one cup! This formosa Oolong was my overall favourite.
Thank you Grey's Teas for the samples, it has been a pleasure to taste them all!
Black tea – Winter essentials
Even though I drink more green and oolong teas in general, during this time of the year I find that a rich and robust black tea is also a great choice to keep me warm and comforted during the day. In today's post I have put together a list of four pure black teas that I personally love and that I think are versatile, delicious and easy to drink either alone or paired as I propose below. I haven't included any blend or scented teas in the list but I might share some blends that I really like in some other post. Here we go:
1. Keemun: Dark and aromatic, this gorgeous tea will delight you with its notes of chocolate, cacao, wood and dried fruits. It is perfect to pair with fruit cakes, puddings, confitures and chocolate truffles.
2. Assam: This classic robust black tea is great to accompany almost any kind of cakes and sweet pastry like croissants, pain au chocolat and apple strudel. Its malty flavour and full body make it a winter season favourite.
3. Golden Yunnan: This mellow black tea is known for its fruity notes of caramel, peach, almost like nectar, and its delicate golden colour is just a pleasure itself. Great with macaroons, fruit muffins, biscuits and pannetone.
4. Nilgiri India: I love to pair a good black tea from this region with chutneys, preserves, aged cheese and dried fruits.
What are your winter's favourite black teas?
Stay warm and happy winter!
Hello 2016
In May of 2013 blogging seemed quite intimidating for me, I couldn't help but thinking about all the amazing tea bloggers there were and all that was already written and said about tea. I would actually wonder, what else there is to say?
So I convinced myself that my blog was going to be a personal exercise to continue learning, researching, reading about tea and that I would do it with no commitments with the only condition that it had to be enjoyable, meaningful and overall inspiring. I remember it took me a while to go public but when I finally did it I said: "I would write as if nobody is reading". Luckily today I have a beautiful audience with whom I share a common love for tea. And the truth is that blogging has been a very rewarding experience and the best way to discover and to learn more about this wonderful world.
Teascopia allows me to share my thoughts about the personal and social experience of drinking tea,
not always in a technical way but also based on my own reflexions and curiosity. My posts and my pictures usually reveal this relation with tea in a very simple way. I love the simplicity of things and how we are able to give meaning to them instead of the other way around. So I love to think of tea as everything and nothing, something that I shape and shapes me too.
I am thankful for your loving support during these years. It reassures my passion and motivates me to keep on going.
Thank you very much for reading and may this new year brings new adventures, experiences and projects we can share together!
