How bad has Danica Patrick been this season?Start Slideshow
Not that you need further evidence, but consider this: Three drivers who have not run the full season (Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Mark Martin) are still ahead of her in points.
Hamlin missed four races with a broken back, Stewart (Patrick's boss) has missed 10 with a broken leg and Martin, 54, only runs a partial schedule (24 of 31 races so far). Yet they rank 24th, 25th and 27th, respectively, while Patrick is 28th in the Sprint Cup standings.
Granted, those are four elite drivers, but all four have uncharacteristically struggled this year. Yet they still have scored more points than Patrick, whose rookie season has been a big disappointment.
But Patrick showed modest improvement at Charlotte, finishing a respectable 20th on a night when only 13 of 43 drivers finished on the lead lap.
Is that he sign that she's finally starting to figure it out and make some progress? We'll see in the next few weeks.
Patrick was one of several drivers — including her boyfriend — who snapped out of a long funk at Charlotte. -
Kenseth produced a Jimmie Johnson-like, championship-caliber performance at Charlotte when he rallied for a third-place finish after struggling much of the night. Best of all, he finished ahead of Johnson after Johnson dominated the race.Next
Johnson usually leaves his top challengers disappointed, but he left Charlotte a bit dejected after losing race he should have won and losing one point to Kenseth.Next
Settling for top-five finishes was supposed to help Busch finally win a Sprint Cup championship. But not when the top two keep finishing ahead of him. No wonder he is frustrated.Next
Harvick is running well enough to stay in the championship race, but that won't last long if he keeps finishing behind Kenseth and Johnson. He finished sixth at Charlotte and lost four points to Kenseth.Next
Gordon is in the midst of his best run of the season, but seventh-place finishes won't be nearly enough. He needs to win, which he hasn't done since last year's season finale. He also needs a heavy dose of luck, and he hasn't had much of that in awhile.Next
Edwards jumped four spots in our rankings, but mostly because four drivers in front of him had off weeks. Edwards scored his 16th top-10 finish, but at 10th in the standings, it matters very little at this point.Next
Kahne proved once again that he's an all-or-nothing driver this season. After six straight poor or subpar finishes, he led a race-high 138 laps and finished second — his fifth runner-up finish of the season. With his luck, what you wanna bet he wrecks again this week?Next
He finished eighth at Charlotte and seems to be the only Stewart Haas driver who has anything going for him these days.Next
After finishing second at Kansas, Busch faded to 14th at Charlotte. It's time to conclude that Busch and Furniture Row Racing overachieved, had an outstanding season and leave it at that.Next
Bowyer finished 11th a year after winning the Charlotte race. A day later, he learned that he's losing two teammates (more on that later). It's a good thing he's got a sense of humor with all he's been through this year.Next
Keselowski finally looked like the driver who won last year's Sprint Cup championship. You can't help but wonder what might have happened had he won one of the first four races of the season and made the Chase. His mission: Build momentum for another title run next year.Next
Earnhardt led 19 laps and looked to have one of the cars to beat before fading so badly that he got lapped. He's running out of chances to win. His best bets are up next —Talladega and Martinsville.Next
Two lackluster finishes on 1.5-mile tracks pretty much sums up how much Roush and Biffle's team have slipped this year.Next
Inconsistency has plagued Logano all season, and it continued with an 18th-place run at Charlotte.Next
McMurray had to be either encouraged or concerned watching new teammate Kyle Larson outrun him much of the night.Next
Montoya got a spiffy going-away gift from sponsor Target. Seems like a good trade for phenom Kyle Larson.Next
Burton finished a disappointing 21st at Charlotte, but could be on the verge of landing a new deal for 2014.Next
Here's the shocking stat of the week: Hamlin finished ninth at Charlotte — his first top 10 in 17 races. That'll ease the pressure on his battered back.Next
Truex learned Monday that, after losing his sponsor, his No. 56 team won't race full time in 2014 and that he's free to pursue other opportunities. But is that a good thing, or bad?Next
Ambrose finished 17th at Charlotte. What else is there to say?Next
Stenhouse finished 13th, the last driver on the lead lap. That doesn't seem all that impressive until you look at the rest of his rookie stats. Baby steps.Next
Menard is one of the most up-and-down drivers in the sport. He was down again at Charlotte.Next
Vickers was disappointed in his 25th-place run at Charlotte — until he learned on Monday that he has a blood clot in his leg. He will miss the rest of the season, which is scary considering he missed most of 2010 with blood clots that required heart surgery.Next
The Richard Petty cars didn't have the speed they showed at Kansas.Next
So you thought you wouldn't see Patrick on this list again this year. She hasn't appeared in our rankings for weeks, but she outran five ranked drivers at Charlotte and matched her fifth-best finish of the season.
Though 20th is nothing to brag about, it demonstrates progress, albeit slight. Now she heads to two tracks where she has a chance to shine — Talladega and Martinsville. Welcome back, Danica.

Saying 'Ha!' and Going 'G' to Spread Hypoglycemia Awareness
Hypoglycemia isn't a laughing matter for those of us with diabetes, but a new awareness campaign is trying to put the "Ha!" into low blood sugar recognition and treatment.
Ha!, as in the new org named Hypoglycemia Awareness.
The five-month-old nonprofit is the brainchild of Zoe Heineman, a New York woman who's been living with type 1 for more than a quarter-century. Her hope: to get more people familiar with what low blood sugars are…

Very Pretty!!!
After reading the reviews I too ordered the 14. I usually wear a 12. The 14 fit great. This is a very nice quality blouse for a very reasonable price and the tie is a nice touch. The persimmon color is yummy. I can't wait for the matching shoes to arrive!
Los Angeles, CA
Love It
I returned the size 12 and ordered the size 14. It fits great. I forgot to add in my last review that I'm a 36D. I love this shirt. The quality is great. I bought all colors.
Hinesville, Georgia
HInesville, Georgia
Runs Small
The shirt runs small. I bought a size 12 and I have to return it. It's too tight across the bust area. I'm going to order a size 14. I will write another review when I receive the size 14. Other than that, the shirt is great.

Congratulations North Kiteboarding Team!
The new Surfboard Range is online
All boards marked with the "X-Surf" stamp are ideal shapes for both kitesurfing AND surfing. We originally introduced the X-Surf concept last year with the Whip and got great feedback from riders who loved being able to travel with a single board to cover their kiting and surfing needs. In 2014, through ongoing development and feedback, we have expanded the X-Surf family. Boards marked with the "X-Surf" stamp have more volume than the kitesurf-specific boards (better paddling ability) and also operate well when relying purely on wave energy to generate speed. The Nugget doubles as a light wind kitesurf board and a smallwave-slaying surfboard. The two biggest Whips are performance hybrids perfectly suited to bridging the gap between kiting and paddling in small to medium surf. The Pro Series is the go-to board for team riders and advanced surfers in nearly all conditions. In 2014 all Directional Boards are delivered without Surfstraps and Front Footpads.
Roll the Dice - The Episode
Paula Novotna - The trouble maker!
Alea iacta est - The die is cast!
The Dice is a brand new kite for 2014, aimed at the rider wanting a do it all machine with C-Shape flying characteristics. Airton Cozzolino and Tom Court are using the Dice this year, showing you just how versatile it is. Happy performing wakestyle, freestyle or in the waves – the kite entertains on all levels. It is based around a C-Shape profile, using a lightweight three strut construction. The kite feels lively in your hands, very direct and predictable in the air. The bar feedback is instinctive and riders find the kite easy to fly right out of the bag. Kite- loops are really easy with the Dice, and it is great fun to ride in the waves or flat water. If you want a kite that will give you the maximum amount of fun in any conditions, choose the Dice, responsive, fast and great fun!
Kiteboarding is a sport that is constantly developing and we realized the trend that more and more kiters are getting into wave riding. However there is also a considerable big group of people who do not want to decide for either flat water or wave. Therefore it felt natural to develop in the direction of a crossover kite. The Dice is a revolutionary kite for freestyle and waves – and definitely my kite of choice from now on!
The Dice combines the advantages of the Neo and the Vegas into one kite, so I feel I could use it for freestyle, waves and very comfortable, smooth freeriding. For freestyle I loved the feeling of having slightly more power than the Vegas, but also with smooth, total depower to the exact amount when needed. Just loved it from the very first second I got it in my hands. Unfortunately I wasn ́t allowed to keep the prototype!!
I love riding the Dice in the surf. It's got great drift and pivots really quickly, allowing you to redirect in a split second. The Dice also works insane for unhooked freestyle and kite loops. Combining the best of two worlds.
When I tried the Dice the first time on a Twintip, it directly gave me a newfound confidence to try new powered moves, as the kite pull is so smooth and predictable, but still with the power needed to pop hard. Also the Dice has more hangtime than the Vegas, which makes it the perfect kite for classic tricks and big airs.
The Dice is a revolutionary kite for freestyle and waves. When riding with the Dice in waves, the kite immediately felt very responsive and light, with perfect smooth power when I needed it, but also depowered to the exact amount needed to perform manoeuvres on the wave. You instinctively know what the kite does and where it is!
When it comes to range of use, different people have different opinions. But they are all in complete agreement about one thing: ALEA IACTA EST – The die is cast

Space Coast Stadium could host its final Nats spring training in 2013.
The Nationals have announced the exhibition schedule for what likely will be their final spring training in Viera, a 32-game slate that underscores why the franchise hopes to relocate to Florida's Gulf Coast in 2014.
Washington will open the Grapefruit League on Feb. 23 in Port St. Lucie, the first of six spring encounters with the Mets (who train about an hour south of Viera). The Nationals also face the Astros (who train 50 minutes west in Kissimmee) six times. They'll face the Braves (who are an hour west in Lake Buena Vista), Cardinals and Marlins (who train nearly two hours to the south in Jupiter) five times a piece, while facing the Tigers (who are nearly two hours away in Lakeland) four times.
The Nationals also must make a six-hour round trip to Clearwater on March 6 for a single exhibition game against the Phillies.
All told, the Nationals will spend more time on Florida's highways than any other club in the Grapefruit League, the primary reasonRead more »

For those of us who prefer the truth, if Zim is closing in on 30, then Harper is closing in on 22.The truth is, Zim just turned 28 while Harper just turned 20.

Harry Connick, Jr. was both shocked and amazed at an act that was impersonating Michael Jackson and his brothers, as he acted as guest judge on the show, Hey Hey It's Saturday, an Australian show. Connick gave the group a "0" score for the performance, as the audience booed; later, Connick gave a race-related speech explaining why black-face is a bad thing. "If I knew that was going to be a part of the show, I definitely wouldn't have done it.'

In April of 2011 the University of Nebraska began construction expanding the East Stadium of Memorial Stadium. Nebraska opened the new addition for the 2013 home opener against Wyoming on Aug. 31. East Stadium is now roughly twice as tall as it originally was, and accommodates more than 6,000 extra fans with 38 additional suites, and houses the Nebraska Athletic Research facility. Find out more about the Athletic Research Facility by watching the video below.
One of the "Cathedrals of College Football," according to The Sporting News, Memorial Stadium is one of the most intimidating locations to play in all of sports.
With expanded capacity now reaching beyond 87,000, Nebraska has continued its NCAA-record streak of consecutive sellouts that dates back to 1962 and is at 333 games entering the 2014 season. Nebraska celebrated its 300th consecutive sellout with a stadium record crowd against Louisiana-Lafayette in 2009.
While maintaining its traditional charm, Memorial Stadium has also become one of the most high-tech stadiums in the country. In 1994, the stadium was the first on-campus stadium to feature big-screen instant replay boards. Several upgrades have been made in the past two decades, keeping the Memorial Stadium game experience as one of the nation's best.
Named in honor of one of the most decorated defensive players in NCAA history, the Ndamukong Suh Strength and Conditioning Center is one of the nation's finest facilities. Built in 2006, the weight room is one of the largest in the country. Widely regarded as a pioneer in the field of strength and conditioning and the premiere collegiate strength and conditioning program, Nebraska's strength and conditioning center is 50 percent larger than its previous weight room. The strength and conditioning staff consists of 12 people, including eight full-time staff members who work with all Husker student-athletes teaching proper strength and conditioning techniques, allowing them to reach their maximum potential.
Click here for more on Husker Power and the Strength and Conditioning Center.
The Hawks Championship Indoor Center opened for the football team during spring practice in 2006. The magnificent facility features FieldTurf identical to Memorial Stadium's surface. The field also opens onto the practice fields of the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Facility, which includes one grass field and one field which was converted to FieldTurf in the summer of 2010. The indoor center is connected by a skybridge to the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex to give Nebraska the best all-around football facilities in the nation.
The home of five national championship football teams, Nebraska provides its players with every tool needed to be successful. The primary home for the football team is its locker room, which ranks among the most impressive in the country.
Each locker is made of solid maple and features a convenient storage system for
equipment and is also equipped with iPads at each locker after Ndamukong Suh's
generous gift to the athletic department. The lockers are hand-made and custom
designed with individual electronic security locks and a unique ventilation
system that pulls air through and out of the locker.
The design of the locker room allows each athlete to have a greater amount of
space and personal storage while providing a convenient location next to the
equipment room.
Nebraska players can relax between classes, meetings or practices in the Husker players' lounge, located on the second floor of the Osborne Athletic Complex.
The room features an area for players to study, video games and a pool table. The lounge is decorated with photos of past Husker greats who are currently playing in the National Football League.
Nebraska's meeting space more than doubled with the completion of the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex in 2006. The large team room provides space for about 160 people and allows coaches to utilize the most advanced technology as it is equipped with theatre-quality sound and video systems.
The team meeting room is one of several teaching areas on the football floor, as each position coach has a meeting room directly across the hall from his office. Players and coaches each have more space to view game or practice video, giving them a greater edge in preparing for competition.
Nebraska's rich tradition and history of success is on display throughout Memorial Stadium. In addition to a national championship trophy display on the football floor, the Nebraska Football Experience Room in the Osborne Complex highlights the Huskers' three Heisman Trophy winners.

--February 1819-- About the 20th of the Second Month, 1819. I went to see several ancient widows and called to see a friend or friends who had lately earnestly invited me, and they said they were glad to see me. I said that was much better than if I had conducted [myself] so that they would not want to see me. The answer was a yes. I said I had been visiting and that I could not please myself at it. They said, maybe thee is hard to please. I said I thought I ought to be so; I have long thought it would be well if we were not so easy pleased with our social visits. Soon after, the subject so arrested my mind that I thought it might be of use to make some memorandum of my thoughts. I remember some years ago I mentioned the subject of common conversation in our social visits � of how poor and unprofitable it often was � in our select quarterly meeting, and it introduced a lively conference on the subject and lively, edifying remarks were made. William Penn says [that] in early days, Friends spent much of their time when together in solemn silence, feeling after their own and one another's states of conditions [Primitive Christianity Revived, first published 1696.]. They were then under humbling, trying circumstances, not knowing which minute their cruel persecutions would be upon them and haul them to prison. Were we under the like trials would our conversation not often be more weighty and more Heavenly than it is? And William Penn says the time will come when every visit shall be a meeting and every family a church and every head of a family a minister, and he says in a little while and it shall be so. And William Baily says, page 518, "and take heed of discourses among yourselves which are unnecessary, for the enemy hath a secret to effect among such things to draw your mind from the living sense of the precious seed of God in yours." [William Bayley, A collection of the several writings of that true prophet, 1676.] Is not this a necessary caution in this day of ease? And see Power of Religion on the Mind, by Lindley Murray, 11 Edition concerning John Janeway: he was full of love and compassion to the souls of men, and often greatly lamented the barrenness of Christians in their concerns with each other. O, said he, what indifference to spend an hour or two together and to hear scarce

While browsing the ESP Emporium website, you may have come across a special type of tea called Formosa oolong. What is Formosa oolong? And where does it come from? Today, we're going to teach you everything you need to know about Formosa oolong tea.
What is Formosa oolong?
Formosa oolong refers to any oolong tea that has been grown and produced in the country of Taiwan. It is also referred to as Taiwanese oolong. In years past, Taiwan was called Formosa (meaning 'beautiful'), by Portuguese and Spanish sailors, which is why tea from the region is known as Formosa to this day.
Tea trees do not grow naturally in Taiwan. Although the history of Formosa tea is not 100% certain, it appears that tea trees were planted in Taiwan at the beginning of the 18th century. Evidence suggests that Chinese settlers brought tea plants over to Taiwan and planted them in the Taiwanese highlands.
Over the past 300 years, Taiwan has perfected tea production. Today, the country is known mostly for its oolong tea, which comes in a variety of blends.
Types of Formosa oolong tea
At ESP Emporium, we offer several types of Taiwanese oolong tea. Here are the blends that we have to offer:
Oolong Tea Lemon Basil: This blend is flavorful and serves as a perfect dessert to end a dinner. Some have also suggested using Oolong Tea Lemon Basil as an iced tea by mixing it with a pinch of lime and honey.
Flower of Asia (Mango) Oolong Tea: This blend is more complex and combines the flowery soft notes of the Lotus Oolong with the soft, spicy flavor that accompanies many Chinese teas. In short, it combines a pleasant mixture of different Asian flavors into one single blend.
Formosa Butterfly of Taiwan Oolong Tea: Creating this tea requires a strict adherence to quality standards. The blend can only be produced in the Taiwanese highlands, and fermentation must be stopped at the critical moment. During the fermentation process, the edges of the leaves darken while the center of the leaves remain green, giving this blend a pleasant sweetness and a fleshier drinking sensation.
Formosa Oolong Tea: This is the classic Formosa Oolong Tea. Produced in the Taiwanese highlands, the leaves in this blend are fermented until about 50% wilted. During this process, growers use bamboo baskets to dry the leaves, which ultimately leads to a light-tasting tea with hints of flowery and spicy flavors.
Formosa Superior Fancy Oolong Tea: This is our finest quality Formosa oolong tea blend. Creating this blend requires a careful fermentation process. Once the blend is complete, it offers a noble taste that tea connoisseurs will appreciate. Formosa Superior Fancy Oolong Tea also provides an intense flowery bouquet and highly aromatic scents.
Ultimately, Formosa oolong tea tastes similar to oolong teas from nearby China. This makes sense, since the leaves were imported from that region in the first place. If you're looking for a unique oolong flavor appropriate for any occasion, then we have a number of Formosa teas waiting for you to try.

While many Americans are very familiar with the popular spicy Chai tea from India, few people are aware of one of its key flavorings: cardamom. A relative of ginger, cardamom has been a valued and widely used spice in Asian culture for centuries. The cardamom plant produces pods, which contain the seeds. It is these pods that are harvested so that the seeds can be used in culinary and medicinal applications. There are two categories of cardamom plants; one produces smaller, light green pods and the other produces larger, brown or black pods. Both varieties have a warm, mildly spicy flavor that adds depth to both savory and sweet dishes in many Asian cultures, most notably Indian. Cardamom is the spice that gives Chai tea its distinctive, vanilla-like taste. In terms of price, only vanilla beans and saffron are more expensive than cardamom; its cost is indicative of the demand for cardamom, as well as the limited areas in which it grows. Cardamom is indigenous to India and Nepal, although it has been successfully cultivated in other warm, tropical regions. While purchasing whole cardamom pods is preferred to preserve freshness, it is the seeds inside the pod that yield the health benefits.Cardamom has a well established history as an important medicinal spice. Pods can be chewed whole, or the seeds can be crushed and steeped in boiling water to create a bold, spicy infusion. Cardamom is very high in antioxidants, particularly phenolics and flavonoids. Regular consumption of cardamom tisane can promote healthy tissue function and fight free radicals. These same antioxidants help to fight inflammation, so cardamom is a common component of holistic remedies for arthritis. It is also commonly used as a digestive aid; the same essential oils that give cardamom its distinctive spicy flavor also encourage healthy function in the stomach and intestines. It has been shown to be effective against all sorts of digestive problems, from nausea to flatulence. It may also relieve cramping due to antispasmodic properties. Cardamom is a natural detoxifying agent; it can help to clear out harmful waste compounds and allow your body's organ systems to function more efficiently. Its anti-bacterial properties have long been used in dental care; cardamom can help heal infections in the teeth and gums, and can curb halitosis (which is often the result of bacteria in the mouth and digestive tract). Cardamom may have been the first teeth-whitening agent; ancient Egyptians steeped strong infusions for just that purpose.The vast collection of health benefits attributed to cardamom is enough reason to add this exotic spice to your infuser. But an even more compelling reason might be its unique flavor. The delightful warm spice of cardamom is wonderful alone, and pairs well with a lot of other flavors. Add cardamom to black tea (true tea) for a morning pick-me-up that is more flavorful than gourmet coffee. Or, blend cardamom with cinnamon, ginger, or vanilla for a delicious personalized mix. Cardamom is so tasty you'll forget how healthy it is.

With so many different types of tea in the world, it can be difficult to find the perfect type of tea for you. What is the world's healthiest tea - black, green, white, or herbal?
As you might know, black, green, and white tea all comes from the same plant – the Camellia sinensis plant. Depending on the processing techniques used, Camellia sinensis can turn into black, green, or white tea.
The tea blends made from the Camellia sinensis plant have been linked to several powerful health benefits. Here are a few of the health benefits of black, green, and white tea blends:
-Weight loss (due to caffeine and other ingredients)
-Increased levels of antioxidants that target free radicals
-Polyphenols like flavonoids and catechins benefit various areas of your body
Some tea blends have specific benefits that other tea blends do not have. For example, black tea has been said to protect lungs from smoke damage and reduce the risk of a stroke. Black tea has the highest caffeine content and forms the basis for flavored teas like chai. In many cases, tea that has health benefits will simply be classified as wellness tea.
The rich antioxidants in green tea have also been said to combat all sorts of different diseases, including neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Since green tea is not oxidized as much as black or white tea, it generally tastes more natural.
Meanwhile, white tea has powerful anticancer properties that make it healthier than virtually any other type of tea, and oolong tea has been linked to lower cholesterol levels.
One of the most popular types of tea in terms of health benefits is Pu-erh tea. Made from fermented and aged tea leaves, China Pu-erh tea has been linked to reduced weight gain and lower levels of LDL cholesterol.
Herbal tea, on the other hand, is made from various herbs and spices. Although science has yet to research many of the benefits of herbal tea, herbal tea drinkers have reported a number of different benefits, including everything from positive mood changes to anticancer properties.
The answer
In short, all tea blends made from Camellia sinensis features similar health benefits. However, the way the tea is packed can affect its healthiness as well.
Tea experts suggest that loose tea blends are healthier than those packed in bags. In addition to being more flavorful, loose tea blends tend to contain more antioxidants. After all, tea bags limit the surface area of the leaves that is exposed to the water. With loose tea blends, the entire leaf is exposed, which means more nutrients and flavor is drawn into the surrounding water.

Health Benefits
From the buzz and popularity around "super foods" to a wide range of vitamin supplements, Americans can't seem to get enough of the trends in health and nutrition. The vitamin industry alone boasts hundreds of formulas: multivitamins, isolations of specific vitamins, vitamin combinations designed to target particular conditions and concerns, kids' formulas, and compositions aimed at every stage of adulthood and activity level. Most supermarkets and health food stores have whole aisles devoted strictly to the wealth of vitamin products they offer. But what could potentially provide as many, if not more, health benefits are frequently found a few aisles away: herbal tea.Technically, herbals teas aren't actually teas; they come from a wide variety of plants around the world, but not the camellia sinensis plant that is the exclusive source of true teas. The vast range of plants that can be made into herbal teas, or tisanes, offer as vast an array of vitamins, chemicals, and compounds that are proven to offer myriad health benefits. For everything from occasional discomforts to chronic conditions like diabetes, there are teas that can ease severity and relieve symptoms of a host of ailments. Stomach upset, nausea, and digestive problems can be relieved with a tisane of ginger, peppermint, licorice root, or lemon. The antihistamine and immune-boosting properties of Echinacea makes it the ideal choice for fighting cold and allergy symptoms. Some tisanes, like chamomile, have soothing and calming characteristics; tisanes of Rhodiola and ginseng provide a boost in energy and vitality. Passionflower and lavender may alleviate the nagging pain of a headache. While many conditions are incurable, herbal tisanes have been shown to be beneficial in helping to manage them and promote health. Diabetes, for example, can be very difficult to manage. Spikes in blood sugar can lead to a host of related health problems. Several herbals can help a diabetic manage his or her condition. Fenugreek may absorb excess sugar, preventing it from getting into the system; raspberry and bilberry infusions can help to lower blood sugar. Herbal infusions are helpful in easing the symptoms of a number of other chronic conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and anxiety. Some herbs can relieve colic and digestive issues in infants; others can boost lactation for nursing mothers.Tisanes are ideal treatments for a wide range of conditions and maladies. But they also offer preventive properties. Most herbals contain antioxidant compounds, which are known to destroy the free radicals that have carcinogenic characteristics. Nutrition experts recommend consuming foods high in antioxidants to help in the fight against cancer; most agree that getting your antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients from natural, food-based sources is preferable to taking expensive supplements. Herbal tisanes are a convenient and easy way to load your diet with a variety of compounds to promote a healthful life. And unlike vitamin supplements, tisanes are delicious, too. They are available in a wide variety of flavors, from fruity choices to spicy options like cinnamon or ginger and a host of blends.

Assam tea has been popular for hundreds of years. In fact, Assam is widely considered to be the world's largest tea-growing region. Located in India, Assam is known for its popular blends of black, green, and white loose leaf teas, all of which feature a distinctly bright color and hints of fruit flavor.
Today, we're going to teach you everything you need to know about Assam tea, from its history to its flavor.
The history of Assam tea
Assam is a region in India. It is bordered by one of the country's largest rivers, the Brahmaputra. Assam is located in the far eastern side of the country, bordering Burma and Bangladesh. The entire region is prone to flooding and experiences high-precipitation monsoon periods on an annual basis. More importantly, Assam's unique climate and high-humidity have made it a veritable greenhouse for tea production.
Most tea producing countries of the world cannot actually grow tea natively. In almost all cases, tea crops are imported. However, Assam is one of only two regions in the world where tea plants grow natively (the other region is southern China, which is located nearby).
During the 1830s, adventurers from the United Kingdom began to venture into Assam. They discovered that locals were brewing flavorful, aromatic tea from the wild plants that grew on the hillside. These adventurers informed friends that there could be a market for the crop back in Britain. By the time the English East India Committee had colonized the region, Assam tea had already developed a reputation as being heathy, flavorful, and fragrant.
What makes Assam tea unique?
Assam tea is unique for a number of reasons. Assam tea is different than Darjeeling tea and Nilgiri tea because it is grown in the lowlands, not the highlands. Assam tea grows solely in the valley of the Brahmaputra River, in which the nutrient-rich clay provides ample fertilizer for tea crops.
Both Chinese and Assam teas are made from the camellia sinensis plant, although tea made in China is created from a slightly different strain of camellia sinensis. Assam tea is unique because of its glossy, dark green-colored eaves. The leaves of the Assam tea plant are also noticeably wider than Chinese tea plants.
In terms of health benefits, Assam tea is similar to Chinese teas and other blends. Assam tea has been linked to a reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes, and it has also been suggested to improve the immune system, relieve tension, and soothe nerves.
Assam tea is notorious for being strong, which can make it challenging for beginner tea drinkers. Many people choose to drink Assam tea with milk, which tends to complement its malty flavor. Because of these characteristics, Assam tea is usually marketed as breakfast tea around the world.
Because Assam produces tea naturally, the region has perfected tea cultivation over centuries. Today, tea drinkers can take a look at some of ESP Emporium's best Assam tea blends under the black teas category.

As you might know, 'Ceylon' is the former name of Sri Lanka, a large island country off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean. But what's the story behind Ceylon tea? Some of ESP Emporium's most popular black tea blends come from Ceylon. Today, we're going to tell you everything you need to know about Ceylon black tea.
Ceylon's tea industry is an important part of its economy. In fact, it's the country's largest employer. In total, Sri Lanka's tea industry employs approximately 1 million people, making Sri Lanka the 3rd largest tea producing country on the planet.
Sri Lanka was once a British colony. Contrary to what you might believe, the first major crop in Sri Lanka was coffee, not tea. However, after the island's coffee plantations caught a serious disease in the 1860s, Ceylon's residents were left looking for another productive crop.
Tea swiftly replaced coffee as the island's number one crop. Ceylon's residents experimented with tea growing methods, cultivation techniques, and leaf manipulation in order to maximize the country's output. Ceylon's tea growing efforts were particularly aided by the efforts of a Scotsman by the name of James Taylor. He called Ceylon the "Pearl" of the Indian Ocean and recognized the island's natural affinity for growing tea.
Because of the efforts of Taylor and other tea enthusiasts, Ceylon tea was soon being prized around the world. International demand grew rapidly over the years, and tea quickly turned into Ceylon's most profitable plantation crop.
Sri Lanka's tea estates
Ultimately, Ceylon's booming tea industry led to the creation of a number of important tea estates in the central part of the country. During the British period, these tea estates were ruled over by a group of landlords called English Tea Barons, and as a result, many of the estates feature colonial Tudor styling and design.
Today, those tea estates provide valuable foreign exchange revenue and offer a reliable source of employment for approximately one million Tamils. The tea estates are located in both highland and lowland areas and offer a picturesque view of the surrounding countryside. Visitors to the country often visit Sri Lanka's famous tea estates, and the estates continue to be the country's most important source of revenue.
Sri Lanka tea benefits
Ceylon tea is rumored to have a number of powerful benefits. Namely, Ceylon black tea is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols. Like many East Asian teas, Ceylon tea is derived from the camellia sinensis plant, which has been linked to everything from healthy healths to weight loss. Because of all these benefits, Ceylon tea is valued around the world.
Ultimately, Ceylon tea is known throughout the world for its top-quality aroma, flavor, and health benefits. The country has a rich history in tea production that continues to be prominent to this day. Whether you're visiting Sri Lanka or just drinking Ceylon tea, every sip you take is one steeped in history.

As one of the world's largest tea producers, we're used to seeing massive tea production numbers from Sri Lanka. However, Sri Lanka's Daily News is reporting that the country's tea industry could achieve $5 billion USD in exports by the year 2020.
Since the entire country's GDP is worth approximately $50 billion, the fact that tea could be worth about 10% of that amount is notable. However, the important thing to realize about this news is that the country's tea production would not necessarily increase, but the price of Ceylon tea would.
Sri Lanka's Treasury Secretary stated last week that production of tea is only expected to increase by 2% to 3% by 2020. Prices, however, could be raised by as much as triple their current price. The statement was made at the 118th Annual General Meeting of the Colombo Tea Traders Association, held June 29th in Sri Lanka's capital.
This means that, within the next 5 to 10 years, prices on Ceylon tea could raise dramatically. Ceylon tea is famous for its black tea blends, as well as its connection to various health benefits. Of course, many people find Ceylon tea to have a delicious taste as well.
The Treasury Secretary also urged Sri Lankan tea manufacturers to work together to 'brand' the country's tea in order to collectively increase its value throughout the world. While Ceylon tea is a name known by most tea drinkers throughout the world, it's not quite on the level of other famous brands, like Earl Grey tea or Oolong.
Interestingly enough, many in Sri Lanka view tea as a "rich man's drink." Most of the country's tea crops are exported to places all over the world or consumed at higher prices locally. Cheaper teas are often imported, allowing locals to profit off of the high prices paid for Ceylon tea around the world.
What's the secret behind Sri Lankan tea?
You might know Sri Lankan tea better as 'Ceylon' tea. Ceylon was the name of the country under British rule during the 19th century. The British had a profound influence on the country's tea production, turning the sub-tropical island nation from a coffee-producing country to a tea-producing powerhouse in an incredibly short period of time.
Today, the investments made by the British government are clearly paying off. Not only does the country earn millions of dollars in tourist revenue due to its beautiful British colonial-style tea plantations (which are scattered throughout the countryside), but Sri Lanka also depends upon the infrastructure and administrative systems established by the British in order to manage the country's tea resources.
Since Sri Lanka has only recently become stable after the end of its civil war, its tea industry – and the country as a whole – is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the coming years. Some even expect Sri Lanka's GDP to grow to $100 million by 2020, which means that tea production would account for far less than 25% of that amount.
As of now, ESP Emporium's Ceylon tea prices haven't changed, and we don't expect them to rise dramatically at any time in the near future. If the price of Ceylon tea does change by double or triple its current price at any time over the coming years, our ESP Emporium blog will be the first to let you know.
A visit to your tea shop will probably lead you to a very reasonable question: what do I need to brew my loose leaf tea at home? Tea vendors generally cater to all kinds of customers, from the novice brewer to the veteran tea enthusiast. If you're overwhelmed by the array of tea pots, kettles, tea service sets, and mysterious gadgets out there, know this: you don't need all, or even half, of that stuff. With a few (wonderfully inexpensive) tools, you'll be able to get the most flavor and enjoyment out of your loose leaf tea. One of the most important tools, a decent kettle, probably already lives in your kitchen. Yes, decent: not top-of-the-line, not fancy, not high-tech, just decent. If you can fill it with water, put it on the stove, and pour hot water out of it safely, it's sufficient. An electric kettle works just fine, too (in fact, you might find the temperature control on an electric kettle to be very useful). The only other really necessary tool is a tea infuser; these can be purchased for less than $10. Popular models include a mesh spoon that rests on the rim of your cup, or a mesh ball (or fun shape like an animal) on a chain that hangs in your cup. Any model, whether you spend a few dollars or a lot more, does the same thing – it allows the tea leaves to float in the hot water, steeping and releasing their color, flavor, and aroma into your cup. Yes, a kettle and an infuser are all you need to make a fantastic cup of tea. You don't need the kettle with the built-in infuser, or the decorative pot, or the collection of bamboo tea tools. And unless you're hosting High Tea, you don't need the pretty pot with the matching cups and saucers, either.Now that you have your kettle and infuser, you're ready to brew. Start with cold, filtered (if possible) water in your kettle. For the best flavor, you don't want to actually boil the water; ideal temperatures are somewhere between 149° F and 210° F. Generally, the darker the tea, the hotter the water should be. Most kettles whistle when the water in them is boiling, so listen for hissing and remove it from the heat before you hear the whistle. While the water heats, prep your favorite cup; add about one teaspoon of tea to your infuser, and set the infuser in the cup. When the water reaches temperature, pour it gently over the infuser and let it sit for about 1-3 minutes, depending on the tea (generally, the darker the tea, the longer the steep). For stronger tea, start with more tea leaves, but don't mess with the steeping time; increasing the steeping time will make your tea bitter, not stronger. Finally, remove the infuser and enjoy your soothing cup of perfectly brewed tea. Yes, it really is that easy!

Tea Talk
Unlike many crops, tea is produced in only a few specialized locations around the world. Interestingly enough, tea leaves only grow naturally in southern China and eastern India, which means that the crops had to be imported around the world before tea production could begin.
Today, tea is grown primarily in Asia, although significant tea-producing regions have sprung up in South America and Africa. Today, we're going to provide a brief overview of the world's largest tea producing regions.
China is the world's most prolific tea producing country by far. In 2010, it produced nearly 1.5 million tonnes of tea, beating its nearest competitor (India) by approximately 500,000. China has a wide variety of popular teas derived from the camellia sinensis plant.
India contains some of the world's most famous tea-producing regions. The country's most popular exports include Assam, Nilgiri, and Darjeeling tea, all of which are available in black, white, or oolong blends. Assam, located in the western part of India, is one of only two places in the world where tea grows naturally.
Coming in at 3rd on this list is Kenya. Tea and coffee are the most popular agricultural exports in Kenya, and the industry has continued to grow at a rapid pace in recent years. Kenya produces a number of different varieties of black, green, white, and oolong tea.
Sri Lanka
Tea has become popular in almost all regions colonized by the British. The British took over Sri Lanka in the 19th century, rapidly turning it into one of the largest tea producers on the planet. Today, the region's blends of Ceylon teas are known throughout the world.
Moving away from East Asia and Africa, Turkey is also one of the world's most well-known tea-producing countries. Turkish tea often refers to 'çay' – a special blend of black tea. However, a special blend of white tea called 'Rize tea' is also popular. Both Rize tea and çay tea are produced around the Black Sea, which is a particularly good spot to grow tea due to its mild climate and high precipitation. Turkey also has an advantage in that its inhabitants don't usually drink coffee or alcohol, making tea the country's most popular beverage across virtually all demographics.
Vietnam is a close 5th behind Turkey in terms of tea production. Tea is one of the most popular drinks in Vietnam. Being located right next to southern China, tea has a rich and storied history in Vietnam, and it has been produced for thousands of years in one form or another. Vietnamese tea is produced in both the highland and lowland regions of the country. The most popular blends are jasmine tea, artichoke tea, and lotus tea.
Rounding out the list of the world's top 5 tea producing countries are Iran, Indonesia, Argentina, and Japan at number 6, 7, 8, and 9 respectively. However, tea production can be found in varying amounts all over the world, from the United States to Brazil to Nepal, making it one of the world's most popular beverages

So you've decided to make the switch from bagged to loose leaf tea. Great! Now what? With so many options, becoming a loose tea aficionado may seem intimidating. Don't worry – with a little know-how and a few good tools, you'll be brewing and enjoying your loose leaf tea in no time.The first step is finding the tea leaves to brew. You may have noticed that they're not as prevalent as packages of pre-bagged teas, but you'll be surprised how easily you can get your hands on loose tea leaves if you look for them. You can start with a look around your area for an independent tea shop. Finding a local shop is great because you'll be able to get information, guidance, and brewing tips from the owner. You'll also be supporting a local business and contributing to your local economy. If you can't find an independent tea shop in your area, make a trip to the nearest shopping mall. As the popularity of whole, less-processed foods has grown, so has the demand for loose tea. Tea shops are popping up in malls all over the country. If your mall doesn't have a tea shop (yet), and you can't find an independent shop in your area, there's one easy and convenient option – the Internet. A quick search will reveal countless suppliers, across the country and the globe, offering countless varieties for you to try. Once you've found your tea supplier, your next step will be picking out the type of tea you want to try. Most teas come from the same plant, and are categorized by the processing (usually a combination of wilting or steaming and oxidization) needed to arrive at the finished product. White teas are the least processed and the lightest in color and flavor. Black teas, the traditional alternative to morning coffee, are darker, bolder, and have higher amounts of caffeine than other teas. Green teas have a pleasant, light but distinctive flavor that pairs well with many fruit flavors. Oolong teas, which you've probably had if you've ever ordered tea in a Chinese restaurant, have a bold and unique flavor and are known for their weight-loss properties. Unlike conventional teas, herbal, rooibos, and maté varieties are made from a combination of dried herbs, fruits, and flowers. These blends come from plants around the world and have flavors as diverse as their origins. Their light, fruity flavors (and the fact that they're caffeine-free) attract many tea enthusiasts to the herbal family.Loose teas give you the freedom of buying small quantities. You can sample many types and varieties, without committing to a whole box of a tea you might not prefer. Most tea shops have samples brewed; many are even happy to brew up a special taste of something you're curious to try. Ask your tea vendor how to store your favorite tea to best preserve its flavor (usually an airtight container), and you'll be ready to brew!

I had my doubts about this movie; I didn't think it would be possible to take it seriously.
But for anyone who's on the fence, I encourage you to see it.
I have virtually no familiarity with the comic version of Thor, but the movie itself was
well paced, beautifully shot, engaging, exciting, and funny.
The movie really is a stepping stone for the Avengers. After the main characters are
introduced, most of the middle act heavily involves SHIELD's investigation in New
Mexico. And yes, there is a teaser after the credits.
Also, another Avenger is introduced, though he only plays a small role.
