June 3 Press Conference with Bob Bradley, Clint Dempsey, and Marcus Hahnemann
U.S. MNT Head Coach BOB BRADLEY:
On José Torres' defensive improvement in the past year:
"I think if you look at José's progress in the last few years, both with Pachuca and with the national team, it's just been a normal growing process. Taking more responsibility on the field, what he might refer to as working on his defense, for me it's just an understanding that at the higher level the games go faster and you want players who are more responsible for everything going on around them. More awareness, more commitment. Those are just necessary qualities for players, especially in the midfield, at the higher level."
On Herculez Gomez' success at Puebla:
"Herculez had a great season with Puebla. He scored important goals, he came off the bench, he came on strong and it was with that in mind that we brought him into camp and he's done well. Of course we would hope that he can have the same kind of form, but I'll say it again—I think there's a difference between club matches and international matches. We always talk to all our players just so that they're a little more aware of what to expect when they step on the field for these types of games, but we're very hopeful that he can contribute."
On the goals he has for the friendly against Australia:
"We're still determining how to balance it out. Certainly a week before the match, we want to continue to move our team forward, but that sometimes involves different plans for different guys. So we look at each individual, try to sort out what's best, and at the same time keep in mind the group and how to be ready for a big match next week."
On Maurice Edu's form and preparedness to maybe play against England:
"Mo had a good finish to the season with Rangers, and I think it's carried over into camp. He brings good athleticism to the field, the ability to win balls, and I think we had some depth in the midfield, some good combinations, and we'll take all that into account as we move forward."
On what the goals are for the U.S. in the World Cup after their success at the Confederations Cup:
"When we talk about it, it begins with moving out of our group and into the knockout phase. We prefer to go one step at a time, and the first step in these events is knowing how to get through those three games, giving yourself a chance and being ready to go for broke when you get to the knockout phase."
On improvements he is hoping to see against Australia on Saturday:
"We're always just looking to move ourselves forward as a group. That's everything from all-around understanding on the field, to sharpness, to concentration. Our team, certainly in the last four years, has been tested on a high level. I think we have a good sense of the fact that when we play well as a team we can compete with anyone, and as you get close to big games you want to make sure that everybody's on the same page with the right mentality and is excited and ready to get going. That just requires a good all-around sense of the work that we've established over this time."
On what they are expecting from Australia on Saturday:
"Australia plays well as a team. They have a great mentality; we'd like to think that there are similarities between the mentalities of both teams in that regard. Their game against Denmark was a fast game, their field is a little tight and it made for a fast game, some turnovers, and put a premium on reactions when the ball turns over, so it wasn't a game that had a great flow. But I think it provided a good kind of match for getting teams ready, so we'll try and have the same thought as we prepare."
On Oguchi Onyewu's progress:
"I think Gooch has made good progress since we started the camp. We had the opportunity to play him for 60 minutes against the Czech Republic, we were cautious then as far as how we brought him back for the Turkey match, but I thought he had a good second half. We will certainly use him more against Australia, and try to assess exactly where that fits in as we make the decisions for the starting XI versus England."
U.S. MNT Midfielder CLINT DEMPSEY:
On his relationship with José Torres:
"I wouldn't say I've taken him under my wing. He's my friend. We get along really well. We have the same upbringing from Texas. I'm able to give him pointers here and there, but he's a good player and has a lot of confidence. I think he'll continue to improve; there are still some things that he can learn but he's on the right track and is a year ahead of where I was at his age. I was 23 at a World Cup and he's 22, so I think he's on the right track."
On facing fellow Fulham teammate and goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer in a warm-up game against Australia on Saturday:
"In any game you play in, you always want to score, but it would be good to score against him because he's always running his mouth in training. Really, he's a great goalie. He helped us out a lot at Fulham. I think a lot of the success of the team goes to having that experience between the sticks. It's great having him on the team. He's someone who has a lot of confidence, a lot of experience and I think he motivates the players around him and keeps everybody organized. I think Australia is lucky to have a goalkeeper of his quality."
On being injured in the months before the start of the World Cup:
"It's always difficult when you're going through injury. It's frustrating because every player wants to be on the field playing. But what upset me the most was stuff getting leaked out that wasn't true about my injury, but at the same time the people that needed to know like my family, Bob, people with the national team and my friends, they knew what was going on. We knew it wasn't that serious, in the sense of needing surgery or missing the World Cup or anything like that. I'm smiling because I'm in the World Cup, and things are going good now. We have a good attitude around this camp and we're looking to do something special."
On the rough style of play in the Premier League:
"It's a very competitive league. It's fast paced. Playing so many games and grinding out results takes a toll on your body; you just have to do the best you can to keep yourself fit. Those are situations that everybody deals with in every league, but I just feel that the pace of the English game is so quick that sometimes you see people taking risks that they normally wouldn't take because they just get caught up in the game."
On the effect Charlie Davies' absence has had on the team:
"You're around these guys for a good amount of time, you get to know them better, and when you have something like we had to go through as a team, or more so what Charlie had to go through, your heart goes out for him. But it goes to show that we still have love for him, we think of him often, and he'll be back soon. That's why Maurice dedicated his goal to him, and you may not have noticed but I tried to do something like that in the last game, but I can't dance. We love Charlie and wish he could have been here, but that's just the way life goes sometimes. We hope that he's back soon to full fitness and playing in games."
On how familiarity with English players will help him:
"Well, I think it helps me because it's one of the best leagues in the world, and for three years I've been consistently good. So I'm taking that confidence with me to the World Cup, and that's how it helps me. When you get to international play, it's different from club and all you can take with you is your confidence in your form and those are the positives that I'm going to take from that league and take into this game. But we're going to watch tapes, like we do for any opponent, to know what their strengths and weaknesses are and know what we have to do to get a result."
On the ability of this team to make history like the 1950 U.S. National Team did:
"If we didn't believe that we could, why would we be here? It wouldn't be right. I shouldn't be part of this team if I didn't feel we can do something special. Every time you put on the U.S. jersey, you should think you can do a good job. If you don't, you shouldn't be here. We're trying to do something special. Hopefully we can do something special like we did in the Confederations Cup here."
U.S. MNT Goalkeeper MARCUS HAHNEMANN:
On the rough style of play in the Premier League:
"I think England is one of the roughest leagues in the world as well. You watch an English game, and in England, a foul is a foul. In another country, they're wondering if it's a red card or a yellow card. You watch the games, and I do think it's one of the most exciting leagues in the world to watch, because of the pace. It's end to end. It's so competitive, down to the bottom."
On the tendency for the United States to produce world-class goalkeepers who succeed in the Premier League:
"In the U.S., we've had a lot of goalkeepers in England, and the main thing I think is that the games we watch are predominantly from the Premier League. That's where you want to go, that's the first choice for anyone to go overseas is England. We grow up playing a whole mix of sports, and all of that helps. I think it's changed recently, in youth soccer, that kids want to be goalies. In the past, it was always sticking the worst player in goal, but now it's a sought after position. A lot of keepers have really come in late. I played half and half in high school. I think Brad Guzan came in late as well. We played a lot of different positions, and I think for all of us goalkeeper kind of chose us as well."

What is it feel like to be on my first Cosmo cover? Well, I feel a little bit grown up. Well, I'm very spontaneous. I've always been kind of like a daredevil and I was always a girl that never followed the trends. My mom told me that wear what looks good on you. It doesn't matter if the trend is whatever it is. You'll find your individual style just over time and we shouldn't be afraid to take chances because sometimes taking chances will start a new triumph. Basically from an early age, I started singing at 9 and then I started playing guitar at 13 and at 15, I really started pursuing it. It is kind of like my one magic trick. It's like the one rabbit I could pull out of the hat. Everybody like, oh you know. I feel like we're given gifts in life and I really found mine very early on. I guess the challenges are is taking away that kind of cookie cutter idea of what everybody thinks the music industry is like the TV American Idol, like competition. Now, you win a big record contract. That is definitely not how it goes for 99% of the people. It took really a lot of hard work. What I hope to continue is just changing. I still can't wait to show other different sides. I wanna make another pop record that makes people move more and continue to keep people wondering who I am and not letting them know exactly because I don't really wanna be feared out just yet.

Global climate change is expected to affect marine fisheries productivity because of changes in water temperature, ocean currents and other ocean conditions. Marine fisheries are an important food source, and changes in the total amount or geographic distribution of fish available for catch could affect food security. Changes in marine food supply due to climate change, however, were previously unknown.
William Cheung and his coauthors used models that linked ocean conditions with the geographic range of species to predict changes in potential catch under low and high greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. They found that globally, the maximum total catch potential in the year 2055 remained essentially unchanged from current levels under both scenarios. But catch potential changed within regions, and the magnitude of that change was greater under the high emissions scenario. In general, maximum possible catch increased at higher latitudes and decreased in the tropics, which tend to be the most socioeconomically vulnerable areas. The authors conclude that this change may have large implications for global food security. This Pew Ocean Science Series report is a summary of the scientists' analysis.

Fargo team taking stance for Sex Education ProgramFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - A team including NDSU Faculty, a Fargo City Commissioner and Planned Parenthood has come out swinging today.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - A team including NDSU Faculty, a Fargo City Commissioner and Planned Parenthood has come out swinging today.
In response to an attempt by Representative Bette Grande to strip NDSU Researchers of their new voluntary Sex Education Program, supporters today tried to correct, what they say is misinformation.
They say there is no state funding involved. The Federal Grant of 1.2 million dollars is designed to help at-risk youth make good, healthy life decisions and choices.
There have been repeated attempts by some lawmakers to shut down the federally funded project, set to begin this month.
Molly Secor-Turner, Ph. D., RN/NDSU Researcher: "Funding from a federal agency to put together and implement a program that can prevent teen pregnancy I am baffled why any political stance would want to get in the way of that."
NDSU President Dean Brescianni, in a statement today, says the college is committed to academic freedom and he supports providing youth with effective educational programs.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Jeff Keppinger, traded five times, will now get to pick his team. The key, though, will be finding one that is interested.The former Parkview and Georgia standout became a free agent when he wasn't tendered a contract by the San Francisco Giants, who didn't want to go to arbitration with the veteran infielder. Keppinger, 31, was acquired from Houston last July after the Giants lost second baseman Freddy Sanchez with a shoulder injury. It looked like a good fit, but Keppinger was sidelined for awhile himself and the defending World Series champions missed the playoffs. With Keppinger and Mike Fontenot available as potential infield insurance for next season, the Giants decided on the less-costly Fontenot and re-signed the former Chicago Cub to a one-year deal. Keppinger, who made $2.3 million last season, has a .281 career average in the majors after batting a combined .277 with the Astros and Giants in 2011. One of the toughest hitters in the majors to strike out, Keppinger hit .288 in 2010 for Houston with career highs in games (139), runs (62), hits (148), doubles (34), RBIs (59) and walks (51). But Keppinger had offseason foot surgery and missed the first month last season with the Astros. Hitting .307 for Houston when traded to San Francisco, he tailed off to .255 with the Giants. Orginally drafted by Pittsburgh, Keppinger has played for the New York Mets, Kansas City and Cincinnati in addition to the Astros and Giants. His best batting average was .332 over 67 games for the Reds in 2007.

Google Analytics (Re)Introduces: Data Hub and Trackbacks
<< by Sarah Lokitis on March 28th, 2013
Google Analytics Social Reporting continues to grow and provide insights into how social media is tying into your company's goals. Last summer, I wrote about the recently introduced Social Visitors Flow, Social Sources and Activity Stream, and Social Plugins Reports. On Tuesday, Google Analytics announced that they redesigned some of the social reports to make it easier to see the activity happening around your content. The two new reports that were introduced are: Trackbacks and Data Hub Activity. Both of which were already previously available.
These reports already existed, so what's the big deal? Google developed these two new stand-alone reports to provide greater ease in digesting this data. The data is clearer and now, you can drill down through this data separately.

Dining with the GodsMonday, May 11th, 2009
Gloria Baxevanis is an International Programmer and Financial Assistant with Smithsonian Journeys and has been with the Institution since early 2005. A native of Romania, prior to joining the Smithsonian, Gloria was actively involved in the country's environmental movement. Her career there took her to 16 European Countries. Here, she recounts a recent trip to Crete.
Wherever I traveled in Crete, I met people who treasured their culinary heritage. On this magical island, birthplace of Zeus himself, there are still people who take the time to make their own yogurt, cheese, wine, and olive oil. They tend to small orchards, vegetable gardens, and sheep just as their parents and grandparents used to. Hania, in northwestern Crete, is the island's capital city and the place where tourists flock by the thousands each year. Peppered with small, family-run restaurants, Hania offers the very best of Greek and Cretan cuisine and the freshest ingredients.
A chilly March sun interjects its shy rays through the clouds like ancient Greek spears preparing for battle. Families stroll the promenade under the occasional salty sprinkle. Young boys fish at the pier, their laughter clouded by the sea's hum. Old couples sit on benches, recalling the past. Sunday mid-day is leisure time for the Greeks, a time for good company, good conversation, and more importantly, good food.
As my husband and I come across a rather insignificant restaurant we are greeted with a friendly "kalimera" and offered to taste the owner's raki. The fiery liquid is good and very strong. It burns our tongues and slips down our throats, bringing out our appetites. This is the way Greek restaurants lure customers—with a glass of strong raki. We are hungry now, and sit down carefully. These chairs do not inspire too much trust! One minute later Manos, the owner, brings out freshly baked bread and golden-greenish goodness – spiced olive oil. Quietly standing behind her father is Maria, Manos' teen-aged daughter, who is eager to display her waitress talents and practice her English.
We put aside the menus and ask Manos for today's specials, also asking him what ingredients he is using. He proudly tells us that his brother-in-law has a small vineyard just a short drive from here, on the slopes towards Iraklio, and that his white house wine is one of the best on the island. As for the vegetables in his salad, they all come from his garden: huge, ruby tomatoes of irregular shapes, bursting with flavor; long, crunchy green peppers; and dark green, juicy, sweet cucumbers. His wife, Maria, tends the garden, Manos said. She takes good care of it and knows exactly when to pick each vegetable so that it is just right. "Because you know," he says, "she is the chef, and a very good one."
We feast on roasted and marinated red peppers and a few servings of gavros (tiny marinated fish). A huge bowl of Greek salad reigns in the center of the table, its vivid greens and reds showing off the sweet goodness of fresh vegetables. Yellow-green olive oil drizzles were sparkling like rivers of gold. Manos and Maria the daughter keep bringing out countless mezethes tastefully arranged on small, simple plates: a few dolmadakia (stuffed grape leaves) and keftedes (meatballs) are quickly followed by tender, young octopus prepared in red wine.

It's an era of vaccine denial, evolution denial, and of course,climate change denial.
I'd also add Big Bang denial to that list. Sure, it might be more esoteric than climate change denial, but it's attracting increasing amounts of attention, thanks to the efforts of people such as US congressman Paul Broun, who declared late last year:
All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell.
In living memory, the most vocal opposition to the Big Bang has gone from the realms of legitimate scientific debate to that of science denial.
But how did this come to pass? What are the origins of Big Bang denial? And does it provides clues about the future of science denial generally?

Hodgepodge & Hot Flashes!
Don't you just love it!
It seems like I have been writing about a lot of consignment shops lately but a lot of people are shopping there in this economy. I drove all the way out Kelly Road because I just love the name of this shop! Lou Potts was working the day I went in and she said the business has been better than ever this summer. The owner Marsha Crowder makes it interesting to shop here as she likes to pick out items that are unique and unusual. The show room has two rooms of consignments and I did find some unusual pieces. One being a hand made and hand painted small table and chair by an Arizona artist. It could be used as a small desk. There is an Indian design painted on it, just $364 for both pieces. Another piece that I admired was the hand painted dressing table with drawers and a center lift-up compartment. It was small and dainty and came with a little stool and a lovely mirror. Priced at $215. It was on it's second price. Every 30 days the price goes down 10%, the merchandise is kept 90 days. Small things like accessories are kept 60 days. Sitting on top of the dressing table was a vintage 4 piece dresser set in silver that consisted of a comb, brush, hand mirror and clothes brush, $33.
Find plenty of armoires to choose from to rid up some clutter, with room for the TV and other electronics plus additional storage, the shutter style sage green was in perfect condition! There was a three piece entertainment center in oak and a white 3 piece entertainment center looked new. Also a neat cherry computer armoire to tidy up an office space in a jiffy.
The maple topped table was new and came with a 20" leaf, the pedestal base was done in an attractive washed
blue. Perfect for a condo owners eat in kitchen. Another table and chair set that was perfect for small spaces had a dark wood top with white legs and four white chairs only $223 for the set. Also for small spaces was a vintage 2 drawer buffet that would fit in nicely in a small condo.
A variety of mirrors could be found, some hand carved and in various sizes.There were pictures and tapestries even a tiffany style leaded glass lamp with colored in lays, $230. There were other unusual lamps and all kinds of knick-knacks
More unusual things, a cherry and metal corner unit to display all your treasures and collectibles. A pub table with wine storage underneath featured carvings on the corners.
I found a cute dog bed with an iron frame and a comfy cushion, $23. Talk about unique, a pair of carved monkeys to be used as a table base or the very large antique teak or rosewood 46" high table lamp of an oriental figure. I asked Lou what was the most unusual piece that they've taken in or sold and she said a 7' long gaff rigged ketch priced at $442 that was purchased by a man from Punta Gorda. The word gets out as a man from Iowa called about it!
There were some nice pieces of upholstered furniture too. You could furnish a whole vacation unit in here. There was hand painted glass wear that goes out pretty fast, a cast iron lions head at $34 was a decorator piece. Another great antique piece was the grandfather's shaving stand at $23. Anything with a yellow dot was half off.
It takes a while to browse through here but was fun seeing all the truly different things. I think Marsha is doing a good job in finding the unique and unusual! The amazing thing is it has been here for five years and I just found it!

For one day only, Sarah Cavender Metalworks (500 Main St., Oxford) is opening its doors to all you fashion- and savings-savvy ladies (and gentlemen). Beginning at 10 a.m. Thursday, you can check all those names off your list as you score exquisite pieces of wearable art at wholesale prices.
Best of all, 25 percent of sales will benefit Saving Animals Volunteer Effort (S.A.V.E.), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing unwanted and homeless companion animals in Calhoun County through low-cost spaying and neutering.
This all-day shopping event will feature lovely necklaces, bracelets, rings, purses, belts, scarves and hair accessories — whew! Enjoy complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres from 4-7 p.m. while you shop. And with a minimum $100 purchase, you can select a ring of your choice FREE. Win-win-win.
German Vogue, InStyle, Smithsonian Catalog and Anthropologie all have featured pieces from Sarah Cavender Metalworks. Its creations have been spotted on celebrities and are sold worldwide.

Thursday's benefit sale is the perfect time for you to snag some gorgeous jewelry and accessories while helping a local organization.
S.A.V.E. is dedicated to reducing the population of stray, abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats in Calhoun County by supporting spay and neuter programs, educating the public on the plight of uncontrolled breeding and funding spay and neuter surgeries for low-income families. The group's ultimate vision is to empty all of the shelters in our area.
The organization's board members have devoted much of their lives to local civic organizations and charitable causes, dedicating time, money and soul. They all share a love of animals and the conviction that we can make Calhoun County a better place for all dogs and cats (and their owners!) by spreading the message to spay and neuter.
Through local fundraising events — Cupcakes for Critters, Sips for Snips wine tasting and this exclusive jewelry sale — S.A.V.E. continues to raise funds for and promote awareness of its mission.
S.A.V.E.'s officers include Millie Harris, president of the board of directors; Leigh Caputo, vice president; Margaret Hatley, treasurer; and Sylvia Galeano, secretary. Other board members include Janie Arnold, Susan Cook, Melinda Farrell, Donna Fathke, Cathy Gowdy and Lu Moseley.

Well when i saw clover trail coming out with its 2gb memory limit it seemed kinda odd but it seems like a perfect time for readyboost to step in and help out a bit. I figured I could snag a class 10 micro sd card and it should be fine, however i don't get the option to setup readyboost. I right click on the sd card and it doesn't have the tab, I checked and there is no readyboost service (though some people said there isn't anymore) and superfetch is enabled. I tried multiple sd card and flash drives and none came up (all came up for readyboost on my windows 7 computer)
Does anyone have any idea on how to get readyboost enabled?

Readyboost wont enable on a device with an SSD hard drive, as the Acer uses eMMC (classed as SSD) thats why the option wont appear.

Hey everyone,
I just installed iSnow Portable 10.6.2 onto a USB thumbdrive, and was able to boot my HP TM2t using the flags 'cpus=1 busratio=17 maxmem=4087'.
I have a couple questions I'm hoping someone can help me with-
-I'm not going to get my hopes up on getting the ATI card to work just yet, but I do want the Intel graphics card to get going, but so far I've had no luck with several different X3100 kexts, both from the iSnow Portable and from kexts.com; everytime I try one, I end up not being able to boot, or if I can, there's no change... I want to get the native resolution going desperately.
-What can I do to the com.boot file to not have to type all these boot flags anymore? Trying to change it always leaves my machine unbootable. Does anyone have any of the files that used to reside at www.tm2osx.info when it was still around?
-Am I SOL when it comes to memory? (I have 8gb installed)
-Anyone get the stylus calibrated yet?
If anyone can help me, I'd really, really appreciate it, I've scoured the forum here and can only find two posts related to the TM2, neither of which has answers to my questions.

Brew delicious organic kombucha tea at home!
- Make delicious probiotic-rich kombucha tea
- Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan
- Reusable culture; transfer the culture from batch to batch
- With proper care, the culture can be used indefinitely to create delicious fermented tea
- Easy to make; can be flavored a variety of ways
A kombucha starter culture (a.k.a. kombucha scoby, mushroom, mother) consists of yeast and bacteria existing in a symbiotic relationship. When combined with brewed tea, sugar, and water and allowed to ferment for 7 to 30 days, the resulting kombucha tea beverage has a slightly carbonated zing and is packed full of B vitamins. Each kombucha culture comes with 10 pH strips to assist with brewing the first few batches.
Save money! Commercially available kombucha tea generally sells for $3+ for a 16-ounce bottle. Using our kombucha starter culture, you can brew kombucha tea for $2 a gallon or less! With proper care, the kombucha scoby can be used over and over to brew a refreshing, vitamin-filled kombucha tea.
Ingredients: Organic sugar, organic black tea.
Kombucha scobys are manufactured in a facility that also processes dairy, soy, wheat, nut, and fish products. Kombucha scobys are culture (no animal products).
Shipping Information: Kombucha tea starter cultures are shipped in a dehydrated state and must be rehydrated. Rehydration requires vinegar (or plain raw kombucha), sugar, tea and a 30-day rehydration period. Full rehydration and brewing instructions accompany each order and are available here. A video detailing the rehydration process can also be found here.
Questions on Kombucha Tea Starter Culture
- From Ashley at 1/2/11 2:00 PM
- I know brewing Kombucha requires a starter liquid, is this included in the culture or available?
- To activate this dehydrated culture, use white vinegar and sugared tea for the first 2 batches of kombucha. For future batches, you will use the liquid from the previous batch as the starter liquid for the next batch of Kombucha. If it helps, we have a video on activating (rehydrating) the culture and a video on making kombucha here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-videos#kombucha_videos.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Tom at 2/26/11 8:42 PM
- I was wondering if the fermenting process reduces or eliminates the caffeine that is naturally in black and green tea?
Thank you,
Tom N.
- The amount of caffeine in kombucha is up for debate. Some sources claim that the caffeine is reduced by as much as 60% from what is in the tea originally; other sources say that there is no change in the tea. In any case, tea is usually on the low range for caffeine-containing beverages, although the caffeine content will vary with the type of tea used.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- I was wondering if the fermenting process reduces or eliminates the caffeine that is naturally in black and green tea?
- From Verna at 4/15/11 1:59 PM
- I am wondering if it will be safe to make kombucha in my house if it has kind of a musky smell? Will it create mold in my kombucha? We are wanting to take care of the musky smell but at this point we don't have the finances.
- If your house has a musky smell, it may not be good for culturing, due to excess mold in the air. However, if you keep the area around the Kombucha very clean and follow the directions, you will most likely have no problems.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Adrienne at 6/8/11 6:29 PM
- hi - is there any way to use decaffeinated tea to make the kombucha? thank you.
- Yes, you can use decaffeinated tea to make kombucha - but make sure it is naturally decaffeinated, not chemically processed, as the processed teas may contain chemicals that can harm the kombucha culture.
You can get rid of caffeine yourself by pre-steeping the tea. About 80% of the tea's caffeine content is released from the leaf within the first 20 to 30 seconds of steeping. You can have virtually caffeine-free tea, without sacrificing much flavour, by discarding the water after the first 30 to 60 seconds of steeping and adding fresh hot water to the now-decaffeinated leaf. Let the second bath steep for at least 5 or 10 minutes to release the flavenoids and flavors in the tea.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- What exactly does this kit include? Is it just the cultures?

- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Val at 8/31/11 10:40 AM
- I have followed the instructions for hydrating my mushroom. And it has been almost five weeks and nothing has happened, except that it swelled a little and only half of it. what should I do now?
- There is often no visible sign of culturing with the first, or even the first few, batches. The best way to tell if culturing is occurring is to taste the brew and to test the pH, if you have pH test strips. The taste should be rich and vinegary, and the pH should be below 4.0 for a finished batch.
If that doesn't help, email us at email@example.com for individual troubleshooting.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Philip at 10/10/11 1:29 AM
- What are the strains of yeast and bacteria found in your Kombucha tea starter SCOBYs. I understand how important and intricate the relationship is between the yeast and bacteria; and I am particularly excited about the potential benefits of the S. Boulardii strain of yeast. Many of the Kombucha products sold in stores involve this yeast. My hope is that your product (which I am currently brewing) involves the same strain of yeast. Thank you in advance for any information you might be able to provide. Philip.
- Following is a link to our page describing what is in Kombucha http://www.culturesforhealth.com/kombucha-yeast-bacteria The Saccharomyces boulardi is not always present in komucha and we don't have an analysis of our particular scobys however all kombucha including ours has various Saccharomyces strains. The scoby you are currently using will produce Kombucha comparable to what is found in stores.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Kathy at 10/27/11 1:27 PM
- I bought your tea, and your kombucha starter. My first batch smells like rotten eggs. I made a second batch, it too smells like rotten eggs. Both times I used filtered water, natural sugar and Braggs ACV.
I am now making a 3rd batch with the same scoby using filtered water and Heinz ACV.
Thinking maybe I might be having contamination going on and wondering where its coming from. I'm using very clean gallon jars. What do you think?
Am I using the wrong vinegar? Is the scoby bad?
- Sorry you're having trouble with your scoby. A rotten egg smell does not sound good. I believe Braggs ACV is raw, and contains bacteria that may compete with the kombucha bacteria strains. We recommend using white vinegar, for best results.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- I bought your tea, and your kombucha starter. My first batch smells like rotten eggs. I made a second batch, it too smells like rotten eggs. Both times I used filtered water, natural sugar and Braggs ACV.
- From Dallen100 at 12/28/11 8:21 PM
- I have flip top bottles. How full do I fill them? I've heard some say to the very top to keep air out, but your picture shows bottles filled just to the neck.
- We at CFH have much better luck getting a carbonated beverage when there is a little headspace. There is probably a scientific explanation for that :) A bottle filled to the very top probably won't end up very carbonated.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- I have flip top bottles. How full do I fill them? I've heard some say to the very top to keep air out, but your picture shows bottles filled just to the neck.
- From Kelly at 2/15/12 1:27 PM
- Does it matter what size glass jar is used to rehydrate the scoby? I understood from the directions that it did not necessarily matter. I had a 1 gallon glass jar that I bought to make the kombucha, and that is what I have my rehydrating scoby in. I just watched the Kombucha videos and am concerned I should have just used a quart size jar. My scoby has been in the rehydrating process for 20 days at this point, and I don't think much is happening.
- The size of the glass jar does not make a difference in rehydrating your scoby or in brewing kombucha tea. If you need assistance with rehydrating your culture, please contact customer support directly.

The kombucha I started from a bottled beverage turned out just fine. They were sitting right next to each other.
I will not buy another starter culture scoby. My $3.50 bottled beverage was a far more successful starter than the $20 (after shipping) kombucha tea starter culture.

Response from CFH: It is normal that there be no visible changes in the scoby or visible signs of culturing, even for a few batches, when beginning with a dehydrated scoby. The best indicators of proper culturing are flavor and pH. The flavor of finished kombucha is rich and vinegary. The pH of finished kombucha should be below 4.0. It is important to allow the initial activation batch to sit for the full 30 days, to allow the scoby to fully rehydrate and culture the tea. (Posted on February 2, 2014)

Response from CFH: It is normal that no baby scoby form for a few batches, when beginning with a dehydrated scoby. Testing the flavor and/or pH of the brew is the best way to know if it is culturing properly. Flavor should be rich and vinegary; pH should be 4.0 or lower, for a finished batch of kombucha.

The cravings are gone, never tempted. The one downside is my physical/mental reaction when being around others smoking now. For the longest time, I didnt mind being in close proximity with others who were smoking. I actually liked it that way. I am no judge, people can do what they want. Now recently, last 6 months or so, I find the smell offensive. It actually annoys me that I am annoyed. Am I alone on this?

When I went in to the All Star Kia dealership on Siegen Lane, I wasn't sure if I would be trading in my 2011 Soul or if I would be leaving in it. I really hadn't done a whole lot of research on other cars, but I knew I needed something with more room since we are expecting our first baby any day now. One thing that drew me in to All Star Kia was being so close to winning a Sorento from them! I was chosen in the top 20 finalists for the giveaway and attended the drawing for it on December 3rd. Although I didn't win the Sorento, I left the event and could not stop thinking about it. My husband and I had a great time, all the Kia employees we met were so kind and hospitable, and we were so amazed that they would give away a free car! After only one night of discussing it, we decided we needed something bigger. Since we were so impressed with the All Star Kia staff, why not go and see what they could do for us. Buying a car can be a very stressful experience, considering all of the deciding factors in getting approved along with the size of the purchase. Is my credit score high enough? Which car is best for me? What features should I get? Can I get a good enough trade-in value? Will the salesperson work with me? I am so pleased to say that was not at all the case when I purchased my Kia! From the time I sat down to discuss options with Nazha to the time I pulled off the lot in my 2013 Sorento, I felt completely relaxed and comfortable. Nazha was so knowledgeable about both financing aspects and vehicle specifics that she really made my decision easy. I felt like I was getting the best deal possible on the best vehicle for my newly growing family. There was not one question I had that Nazha couldn't answer. I was also impressed that they brought in a second finance consultant to speed up my purchase and keep me from waiting. The following day I went back to sign a few papers and the manager, Kal Savoie, personally came out and helped me since a lot of his employees were busy. Everyone was wonderful, and I could not be happier with the service I received. And from the spacious cargo area to the backup camera safety feature, I am so in love with my new Sorento!

Some changes for the better – I haven't eaten there too much in the past because as a vegetarian, they haven't had too much I could choose from. But I went recently and found out that they had some new items on the menu that were vegan/vegetarian friendly.
As with most times when meat eaters try to do veggie items, there will be hits and misses. The Black Beans are wonderful - smooth, spicy and yummy. I would order a quart of the beans just to take home. The vegan tacos are a good attempt, - lettuce used as the tortilla shell, but I miss regular corn tortillas which are usually made with some sort of vegetable oil. Maybe they use something else for theirs. The vegetarian burros are good, but better if you put the black beans in. I would have liked to have it enchilada-style with green sauce, but they use chicken stock in the green sauce. Personally, I think if they used vegetable stock in the green sauce, it wouldn't make that much difference in the flavor to the meat eaters and it would be another option for us vegetarians...
I think there is a bit of a way to go, but I'm giving them an A++ on the Black Beans, A on the veggie-burro with the Black Beans added, a B or C for the vegan tacos and an F on the green sauce with chicken stock, for an overall 4 stars! Thank you for thinking of us.
Mexican Lifestyle – Aunt Chilada's has been a house hold name for me since growing up on the mountain next to it and it's been a while since I have been there, until recently. We just started going there regularly. The staff is friendly and helps make the experience every time. If fact I think that most of them were there when I was a kid.
You can get a burrito or a taco anywhere so we tried one of their house specials...as a matter of fact we try something new every time and we are always happy with the result. The house specials are unique and the ambiance can't be beat. The first night we went there a few weeks ago we were fat and happy and on our way out and ran into the regular Tuesday Bocce Ball tournament. It was starting, and we had some time, so we decided to stick around and play. We ended up winning a one night stay in Rocky Point that night. Needless to say we go back now about once a week, if not for Tuesday Bocce, we try to hit the Friday happy hour and the live band. After the first couple of times we started recognizing faces and by week three or four everyone knew our names and welcomed us into the so called Aunt Chiladas Lifestyle. If you are looking for a great Margarita or some awesome food, or just a place to hang out, I would highly recommend AC's (as we call it) to anyone for a Phoenix mexican experience.
The best happy hour in town – This place is infamous! How can they afford to do a free happy hour buffet every day and never charge for live music? I guess I don't need to know. I was there for the first time a couple months ago and it is now the local watering hole for me and all my girlfriends! We love the outdoor bar and the bocce ball court. There are so many drink specials every day, and the food is not just good its free. We were there last night for the season premier of Zane Lamprey's new show Drinking Made Easy, and once again the Travel Channel found the best hideout in Phoenix. I hope my secret "hotspot" doesn't turn into the epicenter of where to get discovered in Phoenix. Between the chef's stint on Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen, The Travel Channel's Zane Lamprey, and the new Will Farrel movie being filmed there, I am afraid Hollywood may sweep them away!
Are you guys smoking crack? – My headline is directed towards the two nasty reviews I just read. I have been dining at that restaurant for years and have never had a problem. The wait staff are all very friendly and courteous. In fact, with as many years as I have been a patron of this fine establishment I have yet to see a high turn over in staff. Many of the employees have worked there for quite a while. Can't call it "terrible management" apparently they're doing something right. i do agree with the patio not being "high heel friendly" however but it's not rocket science to watch where you walk- Common sense. The food is very authentic and can be pretty much tailor made to order. I LOVE the fresh chips and salsa! Nothing about the food is pre made or pre packaged- this is the real deal. i urge those who have had a negative experience to try it out again> i just can't see how anyone would not love this place! Live bands on friday nights- they ALWAYS have free food in lounge for happy hour.. Come on- get real. This place rocks!
Would NOT Reccomend at all!!! – I was attending a birthday party with a large party. The service for this planned event was the wort I've ever experienced. The waitress did not have any hair restraints, which is a health code violation and is just very unsanitary!! The patio surface bordered on DANGEROUS because it was so uneven, I couldn't imagine how drinkers could keep from tripping and twisting their ankles & I don't drink at all so I was completely sober!!
The entire experience was awful. The management staff are argumentative and abrasive, the wait staff is RUDE and unprofessional and the food sucked!!
Bad service!!!!! – I attended a party at this place and the environment is nice but the worst service ever. It took 25minutes just to get a drink and when I told the waitress it wasn't even what I orderd she just looked at me like I was speaking chinese or something. I ordered 5drinks and none of them were the same thing. The party host ordered food that was not even what they brought out and cursed her up and down for complaining that the order was wrong. I would never recommend this place to anyone, not even my worst enemy. No regard for their customers or the concerns that they had. Customer service gets an F with me.
Worst Dining Experience I've Ever Had – I don't even know where to begin. I planned my 30th Birthday/Going Away party at Aunt Chilada's at Squaw Peak. It was a complete disaster and I ended up personally apologizing to my 50+ guests for they way they were treated.
* I ordered 5 appetizer platters for a buffet. They brought out three platters of what looked like soupy slop. It was not the correct items I ordered. When I brought it to their attention, they brought out two more platters of slop, but I still never received the food I ordered. They brought a manager out who told me "you didn't pay enough for this party to be complaining".
* The manager then announced to my guests that she did not charge me for table linens, balloons or the chips & salsa. She told them I should have paid $2000 and that I had only paid (she gave them exact dollar amount) and that I needed to be happy with what I got.
* They only provided one server for my party (and I will admit she was the only good thing about that place), but it took 30-45 minutes just to get DRINKS.
* One of my guests waited 45 minutes for soup & salad. She asked for the manager who called her a liar to her face and became very argumentative with my guest.
* One of my guests asked for the manager as we were leaving and she literally walked out and screamed "what the F--- do you want now? I have guests in town from Australia and you are embarrassing me!" This was said in front of dozens of other guests who were obviously offended.
I will never recommend this establishment to anyone.
Ok Food – Nothing special about the food, only been there one time, would never go there again in my lifetime. We were seated in a seperate building (not the one with the bar). There were too many flies buzzing around us and other customers as well, complained to the manager, she was apologized. The food is nothing special, its average or even below average. Definately would not recomend this to any of my friends or family or anyone I know.
Good Mexican Food – I like this place, its a good go-to for when you're craving Mexican food. It's not the best I've ever had but, I would recommend it.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Fit for a crowd or an evening for two, this restaurant offers outdoor seating and a menu of Mexican favorites.

Song Browser refresh and keyboard entry
- Browser refresh button (with standard F5 shortcut)
Let's say I rename a file in a directory I'm currently browsing with Reason Song Browser. I have to go to another directory and come back to get the updated directory listing. (Also if the directory is in favourites, clicking on the fav shortcut, should refresh directory.)
- Keyboard entry in the Song Browser (pretty please)
I'm accustomed to using keyboard (ex-coder) and still use command line for most operations in Windows. For example, it would be so much faster (for me personally at least) to type "C:\Temp" than click on Computer + C drive + Temp directory.
(Also because locations/favourites list has limited number of entries before you have to use the scroll bar).

BROWNSVILLE, TX – JANUARY 11,2013- The world-famous Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán – widely referred to as "El Mejor Mariachi del Mundo" – returns for a second time to The Arts Center for a special Signature Series performance at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 3.
"It was a natural fit to bring in Mariachi Vargas for their first ever Brownsville performance last year to mark the 75th anniversary of Charro Days," said Dr. Dan Barnard, Director of The Arts Center. "After two-sold-out performances last year, we thought it would be a good idea to have them back again."
Mariachi Vargas' return performance coincides with the Charro Days, an annual weeklong celebration that includes parades, dances festivals and celebrates the culture and friendship of the cities of Brownsville and Matamoros, Mexico.
Created in 1897 by Don Gaspar Vargas in the Mexican village of Tecalitlán, Mariachi Vargas has maintained and enhanced the musical traditions of the classic Mariachi genre through five generations of members.
Tickets for the concert may be purchased online at UTBTickets.com or by calling 956-UTB-TKTS [956-882-8587]. Tickets range from $79 (in the front) to $49 (balcony Left/Right). Orchestra Main will be $65.
Since 1937, Mariachi Vargas has been featured in over 200 movies, including several with famed Mexican film star and singer Pedro Infante. The group has produced over 200 recordings of the Huastecos sones, waltzes, popurris, polkas, huapango and cumbias that all contribute to Mexico's most distinctive sound. Mariachi Vargas members create their music with a combination of violins, trumpets, harps, a guitarrón, guitar and vihuela
The group appeared with Linda Ronstadt at the Tucson International Mariachi Conference in 1986, where she made her Spanish-language singing public debut. The next year, she released her Grammy award-winning album "Canciones de mi Padre," or "Songs of My Father," also featuring Mariachi Vargas. Her national tour with the group helped attract new audiences and contributed to a resurgence of interest in mariachi across the continent.

Worst management staff EVER!!!!! – Do not waste your time with this Red Lobster! I have eaten at many many Red Lobsters, this management team has spoiled my taste for the company PERIOD!! The general manager Marco Holter completely disgraces the "general manager" title. Don't waste your time, money, or energy on this particular restaurant.
Poor Treatment at West Des Moines Red Lobster – Although the food is usually delicious at this Red Lobster, their customer service is a little "less tasty." I was treated horribly on New Years Eve before I even got a chance to get on the waiting list. The hostess' treatment towards me was less than appetizing and the manager on duty that evening was even worse. In times where businesses are dying, money is tight and eating out is limited; you would think that businesses would be more cautious about how they treat paying customers.Obviously this Red Lobster feels it has enough customers so they need not pursue excellence with everyone. In times like these, it takes more than good food for me to return. If you want good customer service, go to Macoroni Grill in West Des Moines. That's where we went after being treated like burnt toast!
Casual crustacean-inspired chain serves up diet-defying seafood dishes in a family-friendly environment. – In Short
Live lobsters wriggle in a tank inside this seafood emporium, where nautical-patterned booths and colorful, fish-shaped tables in the bar area add subdued touches of whimsy to the room's classy dark wood accents. The menu can be downright decadent, with starters of artichoke lobster dip, seafood fondue, and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Entrees feature lighter, grilled fare like mahi-mahi and North Atlantic sea scallops, along with signature lobster dishes, snow crab legs, and jumbo fried shrimp platters.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has awarded the Georgia Institute of Technology, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory University and Saint Joseph's Translational Research Institute (SJTRI) a two-year, $1.8 million grant to foster the development of medical devices focused on the special needs of children. The award will launch the new Atlanta Pediatric Device Consortium, which will provide assistance with engineering design, prototype development, pre-clinical and clinical studies and commercialization for novel pediatric medical devices.
"By developing, testing and refining medical devices specifically for children, we hope to produce safer, more effective devices that will improve their lives," said Barbara Boyan, the Price Gilbert, Jr. Chair in Tissue Engineering in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University.
The consortium will be led by Boyan, along with consortium co-directors Kevin Maher, a cardiologist and researcher specializing in pediatrics with appointments at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center and Emory University, and Wilbur Lam, a pediatric hematologist/oncologist and bioengineer with appointments at Emory, the Aflac Cancer Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Georgia Tech.
Historically, devices designed for adults have been used in children. However, differences in body size and immune system responses between adults and children, and the lack of appropriate models to assess how a device might function in a growing child, can result in poor device performance and responses that are less than optimal.
"There is little information as to what devices are working well for children and what complications occur," explained Boyan, who is also a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar. "In addition, the high cost of clinical trials for a small market like pediatrics has made conducting pediatric trials cost-prohibitive for many manufacturers."
The consortium will try to reduce these barriers by creating a product development pathway that will provide support for commercialization of devices for pediatric health care from initial concept to the completed product.
To do this, the consortium will build on partnerships the institutions have with the Georgia Tech Translational Research Institute for Biomedical Engineering and Science (TRIBES), which focuses on the need for engineering systems that result in commercial products; the Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI), which includes a prototyping design and development facility; and the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at Georgia Tech, a startup accelerator that helps Georgia technology entrepreneurs launch and build successful companies. Consortium institutions will also partner with SJTRI and the National Institutes of Health-sponsored Atlanta Clinical & Translational Science Institute (ACTSI) for pre-clinical, first-in-child testing and clinical assessments.
Additional consortium leadership will be provided by Franklin Bost, professor and director of design instruction in the Coulter Department; David Ku, a Regents professor with appointments in the Georgia Tech School of Mechanical Engineering and College of Management, and Emory's Department of Surgery; and Nicholas Chronos, president of SJTRI.
The consortium will provide assistance for pediatric medical devices from academic institutions and small businesses. The three technologies that will be investigated initially are:
The first innovation is the RemOtoscope -- a smartphone attachment designed by Lam for at-home ear examinations. Ear infections result in more than 15 million doctor office visits each year in the United States because diagnosing them requires direct observation of the child's eardrum and ear canal with a device called an otoscope. Lam envisions a physician remotely guiding placement of the device and diagnosing the condition via real-time video consultation with parents at home. The smartphone capabilities will also enable the transmission of other relevant clinical information to guide the physician in making the correct diagnosis.
The second device the consortium will bring into the pipeline is a renal dialysis device designed especially for children with kidney failure. There is currently no FDA-approved continuous bedside dialysis device for children. When critically ill children need kidney dialysis, doctors are forced to adapt adult-size dialysis equipment. These adapted adult devices can withdraw too much fluid from a pediatric patient, leading to dehydration, shock and loss of blood pressure. Matthew Paden, a pediatric critical care physician at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory realized this problem and has collaborated with Ajit Yoganathan, a Georgia Tech Regents professor and the Wallace H. Coulter Distinguished Faculty Chair in Biomedical Engineering, to develop the device.
The consortium will also investigate the development of a gel designed to delay the re-fusion of a child's skull bones after surgery for craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis affects approximately one in every 2,500 babies in the United States and is caused by the premature closure of gaps between skull bones. The gel is being developed by Boyan; Joseph Williams, clinical director of craniofacial plastic surgery at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Emory University; and Coulter Department M.D./Ph.D. student Chris Hermann, senior scientist Rene Olivares-Navarrete, visiting professor Zvi Schwartz and associate professor Niren Murthy.
Future projects will be selected through the consortium's seed grant competition, which will provide awards between $25,000 and $50,000 to inventors in the partnering institutions and the business community to develop a pediatric medical device through the consortium. Entries are due Nov. 1, 2011.
Additional devices will also be identified through technology development and commercialization programs, including the Coulter Department capstone design class, the TI:GER (Technological Innovation: Generating Economic Results) program in the Georgia Tech College of Management, Georgia Tech's comprehensive center for technology commercialization called VentureLab and the Goizeuta Business School at Emory.

Cancer Surgery
Recent studies have documented an important correlation between the volume (number of cases) that a hospital does and successful outcomes. More cancer surgery is done here at Memorial than anywhere else in the region. This includes complex procedures, including pulmonary resections, neurosurgical procedures, complex intestinal surgery, head and neck cancer surgery and da Vinci procedures. Successful outcomes depend on the full range of surgical support systems, including not only specialty trained surgeons, but also quality and highly trained anesthesia and operating room staff, pre and postoperative care, intensive care facilities, imaging (x-ray) and invasive radiology services and an administration that remains fully committed to providing cancer patients all the necessary resources.
Memorial Hospital operates one of the most technologically advanced surgical centers in the country. A $90-million dollar construction project completed in 2009 ushered in a new era for Memorial's 19 surgical suites. The larger, high-tech rooms can accommodate ever changing technology and future growth. On any given day at Memorial, the schedule might include open heart, pulmonary, endovascular, neurosurgical, joint replacement, da Vinci, plastic reconstructive, trauma and pediatric procedures, to name just a few, in addition to the full range of surgery for cancer. With a staff of more than 100 surgeons, 350 surgical services staff and 24 anesthesiologists, Memorial performs more complex and routine surgeries than any other facility in our region.
Each of our surgical suites provide:
- Air exchanges and filtration systems that exceed national standards to assist in infection prevention
- Temperature and humidity control technology to provide comfort for our patients and physicians and reduce infection
- State-of-the-art anesthesia, monitoring and safety systems
- Ability to electronically access x-rays, CT and MRI studies to assist in precise treatment for patients
- Instantaneous access to lab for intraoperative testing and results
