Increasing Communication Between Parent and Teenager
In This Article: | |
Because of these and other factors during adolescence, children do not confide in us as readily, and do not communicate their feelings as much as they did when they were younger. In addition, general communication about their activities - what they did the day before, where they are going, or whom they are going with - also decreases. Therefore, many parents of teenagers have problems talking to their children, giving them advice, knowing their true feelings, or explaining things to them. On the other hand, children may have difficulty talking to their parents, expressing opinions, discussing things that bother them, or relating their experiences. These difficulties with verbal interaction are generally termed lack of communication. Communication problems may be described in a variety of ways.
A parent might say:
- My son is always on the phone, sleeping, out with his friends, or in his room. He never has time to talk to me.
- Every time I try to explain something to my daughter or give her advice, she gets upset and storms out of the room.
- When I talk to my child, he gives me a blank stare and is obviously not listening to anything I am saying.
- My youngest one never tells me when something is bothering her. I never know how she is feeling. She keeps everything to herself.
- If I ask my son a simple question like "How was your day?" he gets irritated and gives me a sharp answer. I can't even talk to him about simple things like his daily activities.
On the other hand, the adolescent might say:
- They're always asking me questions. Where did you go? Who did you go with? Did you have fun? It's like a third degree. When my friends come over, my parents even ask them a bunch of stupid questions, too, like "Where do you go to school?" or "Where does your dad work?"
- My parents don't understand me. They are living in another time period.
- The only time my father talks to me is when I do something wrong or when he's trying to point out what I should do.
- It seems as though every time I tell my parents what my opinion is or how I feel, they tell me how wrong I am or why I shouldn't feel that way.
- Every time I ask my parents something, I get a lecture.
- My mother is always talking and I can't get a word in. She asks me a question and then gives me the answer.
Communication problems are numerous and varied. Some of the things that interfere with effective communication with your child, and some suggestions that will increase the quantity and improve the quality of communication between you and your teenager, are discussed on the next page. By using some of these concepts, it should become easier for you to talk with your child, and the resulting verbal interaction should increase in frequency and grow more meaningful.

Pulmonary angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye (contrast material) and x-rays to see how blood flows through the lungs.
Angiography is an imaging test that uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Pulmonary arteriography; Pulmonary angiogram; Angiogram of the lungs
This test is done in a special unit of a hospital. You will be asked to lie on an x-ray table.
Your pulse , blood pressure, and breathing are monitored during the procedure. Electrocardiogram (ECG) leads are taped to your arms and legs to monitor your heart.
After the x-rays are taken, the needle and catheter are removed.
Pressure is immediately applied to the puncture site for 20-45 minutes to stop the bleeding. After that time the area is checked and a tight bandage is applied. The leg should be kept straight for 6 hours after the procedure.
Rarely, this test can be used to deliver medications to the lungs when a blood clot has been found.
You should not eat or drink anything for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
You will be asked to wear a hospital gown and sign a consent form for the procedure. Remove jewelry from the area being imaged.
Tell your health care provider:
The x-ray table is hard and cold, but you may ask for a blanket or pillow. You may feel a brief sting when the numbing medicine is given and a brief, sharp, stick as the catheter is inserted.
You may feel some pressure as the catheter moves up into the lungs. The contrast dye can cause a feeling of warmth and flushing. This is normal and usually goes away in a few seconds.
You may have some tenderness and bruising at the site of the injection after the test.
The test is used to detect blood clots (pulmonary embolism ) and other blockages in the blood flow in the lung. Most of the time, your health care provider will already have tried other tests to diagnose a blood clot in the lungs.
Pulmonary angiography may also be used to help your doctor diagnose:
The x-ray will show normal structures for the age of the patient.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Sometimes, a person may develop an abnormal heart rhythm during this test. The health care team will monitor your heart and can treat any abnormal rhythms that develop.
Other risks include:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of x-rays.
CT (computed tomography) angiography of the chest has largely replaced this test.

A project by Chicago-based Goettsch Partners for the Prairie Management Group—investment offices inserted into a single-story office suite—features a colonnade made of exposed steel, glass-screen walls, and a maple pavilion. The arrangement of glass frames and millwork forms signify an appreciation for design and nature that furthers the client's business objectives.
Jury: "Small and well-executed, this project is quiet, restrained, and sophisticated, with a straightforward manner towards both the composition and detail that reinforces the larger concept."
Client: "Everybody who walks into the office is so pleased with it, because you walk into a space that you know is modern and contemporary—and yet it has interesting sight lines and viewpoints. It's the same with our offices along the south side: Instead of putting walls between ourselves and our assistants and our analysts, we used glass. Even the people in the open office are looking out at the prairie grass. Everybody gets the natural light and everybody sees the wildlife—the foxes and deer." —Gordon Segal, CEO, Prairie Management Group

A castle once fit for a queen, Castle Rising's story is one of conspicuous consumption, a statement of power and wealth – its decline is a warning that all such glory is fleeting.
The next time you visit the Norwich Beer Festival, held every autumn, you would do well to reflect on the history of the magnificent building you are in. For the St Andrew's Hall and Blackfriars Hall building in Norwich is unique and has a fascinating 800 year old story.
In the Middle Ages monasteries and castles dominated the English landscape If you want to step back into this world there is no better place in Norfolk than Castle Acre.
Standing sentinel on a bend of the River Wensum in Norwich, the circular Cow Tower cuts an incongruous figure. Now opposite new luxury housing along the city's riverside it is a symbol of the medieval past. Yet the tower has had many uses in its long life – and is perhaps not the formidable defensive bulwark it at first appears.
For centuries Norwich has been the undisputed capital of Norfolk. But in Roman times you would have to travel a little further south to find the region's most important settlement. Caistor St Edmund is the site where the Iceni of Roman Britain flourished for more than three centuries.
In 1995, fire tore through the Assembly House in Norwich. It was a setback for the great Georgian building, but it turned out to be just another chapter in 750 years of triumph and disaster.
"My most favourite work". So wrote landscape gardener Humphry Repton of his achievements at Sheringham Park.
"The Norfolk parish church par excellence." Thus architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner praised St Peter Mancroft Church, Norwich. For 900 years this magnificent building has stood over the city's market place. In the 21st century, it sits surprisingly harmoniously alongside a far more modern construction.
At the end of a country road, with few neighbours except cattle at a dairy farm, stands the home of a once-great Norfolk family. The shell of Baconsthorpe Castle is the story of the rise and fall of the Heydons.
Two tall towers compete for attention in Wymondham. If the stones could talk they would tell of centuries of rivalry in this Norfolk market town – and of some fascinating human stories.
In its picture-postcard setting, Framlingham Castle was the stage for earls, dukes, kings and queens to play out roles in history.
When film-makers sought a location for an adaptation of 18th century novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy they chose a real gem – Felbrigg Hall, near Cromer. But its story, and that of the Windham family, predates the Georgian era.
A lonely romantic setting, a history of scandal and even a ghostly legend. What more could you want?
Here is a mystery story. Just north of Dereham you will see signposts for North Elmham Cathedral. Yet the ruins you see in this quiet spot are those of both a private chapel and a fortified castle – one of many confusing aspects of this intriguingly atmospheric place.
Oxburgh Hall today looks as solid and immovable as a rock. Yet it has survived centuries of upheaval and political turmoil, and twice come close to destruction.
Tucked away by the banks of the River Wensum is probably the oldest dwellings in Norwich. In almost nine centuries it has been a merchant's house, a sanctuary from violence, a brewery – and now a bar for an adult education centre.
The largest surviving medieval guildhall in England, St George's owes it creation to the strong community spirit of 14th and 15th century tradesmen.
Appearances can be deceptive – and in the case of Wisbech Castle they hide a story in at least four parts. More like a house than a castle the current building in The Crescent dates from 1816, but the history of the site began nearly a thousand years ago. It has been a Norman fortress, a palace and a prison, Cromwell's spymaster's dwelling and the home of an eccentric local-boy-made-good. Today it is an educational centre. At least four different buildings have gone up on the site which, at its inception, covered a far larger site than it does today.
It's a ruin now, but once Caister Castle was among the most desirable addresses in Norfolk. Back in 1469, 3,000 men wanted to live there at once.
Imposing and sober, Peckover House sits on Wisbech's North Brink as solid as a bank. Which is appropriate really . . . For well over a century this fine Georgian building was known as Bank House. The name reflected the profession of the Peckover family who settled in Wisbech in the late 18th century and made a huge contribution over several generations. The frontage is deceptive. It hides a wonderful garden spreading way beyond the confines of one house, full of little nooks and crannies and some very human clues as to the nature of the family who lived there.
If ever one building could tell the story of a town, it is the Custom House at King's Lynn.
When the Romans invaded Britain in 43AD they found a long-settled society. But how did these people live, and where? Archaeologists and historians are gradually piecing together the puzzle – and answers may be found at an open field in the middle of Norfolk.
"I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height, nor yet in obscurity." So wrote Oliver Cromwell of his origins – and you can see exactly how he lived at Ely.
Norwich owes much to the River Wensum. Once its lifeblood, it was the conduit for trade and people, linking the city to its historic European trading partners.
St Nicholas is the patron saint of fishermen and sailors, so it is appropriate that an important port should have its parish church named after him.
"The work of giants is crumbling." So it may have seemed to fifth century Saxon peasants as they looked on the crumbling walls of the mighty Roman forts built along the Norfolk coast.
St Benets Abbey is one of the most recognisable features in the Norfolk landscape. Isolated on an island in the marshes of the Broads, it has a number of claims to fame – as well as more than its fair share of supernatural connections.
Take a drive through the south Lincolnshire fens. The abbey dominates the flat landscape for miles around, a memorable sight silhouetted against the horizon. Croyland Abbey is a landmark that has stood for more than a thousand years.
Fire and plague – two of the medieval world's greatest threats – put paid to Creake Abbey. A modest little place, it never had the best of luck and could not recover from these natural disasters.
One of the oldest museums and learned bodies in the country is not in London or Cambridge, but in the fenland market town of Spalding.
A castle in the middle of a town, once the lair of a rebel earl, the summerhouse of a romantic novelist – and perhaps the home of a ghostly hound.
She was a woman who succeeded in a man's world. A pioneer whose ideas have influenced how people live and see the world around them – and you can see where it all began for her in Wisbech.
This is a tale of Saxon princesses, brave resistance fighters, builders of genius, England's Lord Protector – and the odd saint or two.
Built to protect England's east coast, Orford Castle fulfilled the role for its royal creator – and repeated it 800 years later.
By the banks of the River Nene in Wisbech stands a memorial to a largely forgotten hero.
Flooding has long been a risk on the Suffolk coast – and Leiston Abbey had to move inland to escape the encroaching sea.
Tucked secretively away down a country lane in picturesque North Norfolk, Oulton Chapel is a hidden gem.
Crime and punishment are always fascinating – and a trip to the Tolhouse shows us how it used to be done.
In 1216 King John's treasury was lost somewhere in The Wash. But where? It's time to don our wellies – and set off in search of buried treasure.
Just off the B1149 Corpusty to Norwich road stands a stone urn. It marks the scene of the last duel fought in Norfolk.
A 15th century house with many stories to tell has recently had a new lease of life.
"There are houses on each side, both of which you can touch with the fingertips of each hand by stretching out your arms to their full extent". So wrote Charles Dickens in 1848 of Yarmouth's Row houses.
A place of mystery for centuries, the true nature of Grime's Graves has slowly revealed itself.
Today a quiet nature haven in the heart of Norwich, Mousehold Heath has seen its fair share of strife – as well as acting as inspiration to artists and writers.
The North Norfolk coastline is an area of outstanding natural beauty, popular with nature-lovers and walkers. But why are the former ports of the area set so far back from today's coastline?The answer comes from both natural and manmade causes, and shows how history can leave a thriving place high and dry.
Norwich city walls are there for all driving around the inner ring road to see. Hard to believe that these strange heaps of rubble left over from the Middle Ages once stood at least 12ft high and were the pride of England's second city.
Isolated and underpopulated, despised by contemporaries, the marshlands of West Norfolk produced stunning churches during the Middle Ages.
"I have only bought an Acre", joked Norfolk lawyer Sir Edward Coke. This appalling pun was intended (and failed) to put King James I's mind at rest about the extent of his Lord Chief Justice's growing East Anglian estates. Yet at its peak Castle Acre was far more than that – it dominated this part of Norfolk.
Yarmouth's Elizabethan House has witnessed more than 400 years of history, from alleged plotting of a king's death to the return of a Norfolk hero.
The East Anglian fens are the bread basket of Britain. Long drained, it is hard to believe this was once untamed land, a watery outlaws' hideout. Only at Wicken Fen can you now enjoy this walk on the wild side.
Peterborough Cathedral is a very old place set in one of the country's newest towns.
Today it's a bridge to nowhere. Trinity Bridge in the heart of Crowland sits at a road junction a long way away from any river. But before it was left high and dry the bridge was a vital crossing point in south Lincolnshire dating back to Anglo-Saxon times.
For more than 800 years Norwich's first hospital has been helping the sick and needy. Its role has changed throughout the centuries, but it has remained constant.
For 900 years Norwich Cathedral has been at the heart of the city – but it has sometimes been a fraught relationship.
In a region where the balance between land and water has been measured in inches, Denver Sluice in West Norfolk helps maintain the equilibrium.
In the ultra-modern Riverside area of Norwich stands two oddly striking pillars – a memorial to an almost forgotten piece of industrial history .
This celebrated chapel, along with another in the same street, helps tell the long story of religious dissent in Norwich.
Artists, city fathers, dead criminals and the founders of the Eastern Daily Press have played a part in the colourful story of this Norwich church .
"Mr Lely, I desire you would use all your skill to paint your picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all; but remark all these roughness, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me; otherwise I will never pay a farthing for it.". So said Oliver Cromwell when, at the height of his fame and power, his portrait was made by painter Sir Peter Lely...
Many a saint of God has breathed his last beneath that white precipice, midst flame and pitch; many a grisly procession has advanced… across the old bridge towards the Lollards hole…"
In 866AD a 'Great Heathen Army' arrived in Norfolk. It was the beginning of East Anglia's Viking Age.
A medieval chapel, a rebel's 'castle', a gasworks manager's garden and a piggery. The place in Norwich known as Kett's Heights has been all these things and more in the space of 900 years.
A sprawling mass of rubble and masonry – who would have thought it was one of the most important places in medieval East Anglia?
A farm gatehouse and some striking ruins in a field mark the spot where miracles were once performed.
As wind power becomes more important in 21st century East Anglia, we can see a working example of how our ancestors used it at Denver.
If you want to taste bread like the Romans made it, head to north Norfolk.
Another castle! Surely East Anglia was full of them… Weeting in south Norfolk is not actually a castle, but a fortified manor house. It may look like a crumbling ruin, but in its time there would have been few more pleasant places to live in the county.
Five centuries of civic pride are embodied in Norwich Guildhall. From the 15th to the 20th centuries the it has housed courts, a prison, council hall, a tourist information centre and now a cafe and the headquarters of an organisation devoted to safeguarding the city's heritage. Many of the prominent characters in the history of Norwich have been involved in its story.
Thetford's best-known son has had a mixed reputation in his home town.
A planned new town and a castle that was once a state-of-the-art installation. It's all in the unassuming Norfolk village of New Buckenham. A planned town.
"May the fathers long tell the children about the tale." Winston Churchill By the side of a road running through Thetford Forest stands a lone second world war tank. It's hard to believe that this quiet spot was once temporary home to 14,000 men preparing for the greatest battle in British history.
An ancient forest with a dark tale – and a nature reserve loved by ramblers and conservationists. That is the mixed legacy of Wayland Wood.
In medieval times, it was the business to be in. All you needed was a lodge, a piece of clear land – and some rabbits.
A church that can truly be said to be on the side of the angels, St Wendreda's can trace its history from an Anglo-Saxon princess through to an Australian war hero.
Peddars Way is popular with ramblers and cyclists. It is part of a national trail of long-distance paths that those who want to leave the modern world of speedy communications behind them for a while enjoy. But for what was it really built?
An abbey that looks like a farmhouse, and has been substantially altered over the years. It owes its survival to an aristocratic patroness, and included among its many tenants is a man who famously refused to give customers a choice.
It's heaven for boaters, nature-lovers and walkers now, but once the Yare valley was Norfolk's trade superhighway.
"When I am in the tennis court of my palace in Norwich," said the Duke of Norfolk, "I think myself as great as the king".
"More like a town in itself." That was how 17th century writer John Leland described Bury St Edmunds Abbey. It's a ruin now – but it takes little imagination to sense its former greatness.
Aristocratic excess and architectural boldness combine in the Suffolk countryside.
A monument to Victorian enthusiasm and eccentricity, Booton Church is often known as the Cathedral of the Fields.
Markets were the historical lifeblood of many Norfolk towns – and in Wymondham this tradition is illustrated by the town's market cross.
It was known as the 'rich' and the 'golden'. It was the fourth richest monastery in England, a centre of learning and an island of tranquillity. All that remains is a gatehouse.
Kingdom, the recent ITV series starring Stephen Fry, put Swaffham firmly on the tourist trail. But this attractive Norfolk town has a long way to go before it matches its 18th century appeal, when life was centred on its large market place.
There are many legends from the past of people who stumbled as if by magic upon fantastic riches. Few of these stories have much basis in fact – but in the case of the Pedlar of Swaffham we have a real man who helped build one of the finest churches in East Anglia.
Once it was southern England's largest inland lake. Today, that water has long been drained for agriculture – but it may be about to make a partial comback.
An isolated remnant of a church tower in a field surrounded by sheep beneath a big Norfolk sky. What – and why?
Thousands of people leaving Norwich bus station in Surrey Street every day probably get an inkling of the splendours of Norwich Union's headquarters. But its marble marvels have to be seen inside to be believed.
"It is a little paradise, delightsome as heaven itself". So wrote William of Malmesbury in the 12th century after a visit to Thorney Abbey. This institution was founded by Anglo-Saxon hermits more than 1,300 years ago, but the church has since echoed to the sounds of French and German.
Elm Hill in Norwich recently took a role as a backdrop for Hollywood film, Stardust, starring Michelle Pfeiffer. It's a new twist in a riches-to-rag-to-riches tale.
Probably the oldest part of Norwich, Tombland has been at the centre of dramatic events.
Just south of North Walsham, on the Norwich road, are three weathered stone crosses. They mark the spot where Norfolk's Peasants' Revolt came to a bloody end in 1381.
The opening in 2005 of Chapelfield shopping mall has helped put Norwich in the top retail bracket in the country. But the area has a long history, and has served the people of Norwich for centuries.
One of the longest streets in Norwich, the story of King Street begins before the city even existed.
The castle has been at the heart of Norwich for more than 900 years. Norwich Castle has played a number of roles in its history. Built by Norman invaders to cow the English, it helped make Norwich the capital of Norfolk, and became in turn a symbol of royal authority, a prison and finally a museum and art gallery.
At a time when mental illness was treated with inhumane brutality, in Norwich an enlightened woman had ideas ahead of her time.

As wind power becomes more important in 21st century East Anglia, we can see a working example of how our ancestors used it at Denver.
Modern wind turbines seem to be sprouting up every day across the region, producing sometimes controversial 'green' energy. But harnessing the power of the wind for industry is nothing new.
A mill has stood on the site at Denver, near Downham Market on the edge of the fens, since at least the early 19th century.
For almost half of its 850-year history, Denny Abbey was just that. But appearances are misleading. Its story is like a historical jigsaw puzzle, for the building has had many different inhabitants and uses.
As with so many historical buildings you have to imagine how it once was. What looks like a roofless hulk now was, in its heyday, richly-decorated and furnished – and designed to impress friend and foe.
Tile remains indicate the Romans were the first to settle at this West Norfolk coastal site, probably beginning the process of reclaiming land from the sea. It is close to modern King's Lynn, but Lynn did not exist until the 11th century.

It's a bit thin, but acceptable as a medium roasted decaf.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MVMiss The best!
Since having to switch to decaf, I have been disappointed in the MH and Gevalia brands. I thought I would have to give up my Tassimao and start doing my own brewing again. Well, when I saw and tried the Hag decaf crema, my dream of an excellent decaf finally came true! Contrary to a couple of other reviews, I find the flavor very bold, but not bitter, aromatic and smooth. I am very particular about wanting a robust and flavorful coffee, and this is about the best single serve coffee (decaf OR caffeinated) I have ever tried.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mochaccino Outstanding! Must buy!
This is one of the best drinks available for Tassimo; decaf or otherwise. The Hag decaf crema is incredibly smooth and delicious with a nice creamy foam on top. The portion size is generous for a drink of this type as well. If you're looking for a good decaf you simply can't do better than this. I can't wait to try it as a cappuccino or latte. My only complaint is I wish they sold the Hag variety in stores so that I wouldn't ever have to wait for delivery. Hag should be out front and center for everyone to try.

The Hag Crema does not have milk in it. The crema is a little bit of frothing done by your machine at the end that adds body (and taste) to the coffee. This is much richer and tastier than the Gevalia and Maxwell House decafs.3 years, 1 month ago
None of the cremas have cream in the t-discs. The brewing process naturally produces the foamy layer with this type of coffee. My favorite is Hag Crema....it is decaf, but doesn't taste like it. There aren't many decafs to choose from, but if you like the frothy top of a latte, you will love the cremas. My other caffeinated crema favs are Jacobs Crema - Sanft & Mild and Kenco Crema. But they are on the milder side. Maestro Lorenzo makes a crema that is a lot stronger. But is has caffeine.Age: 45-54

No it does not. The crema comes from the way the coffee is pulled.3 years, 9 months ago
There is no milk product in the Crema coffees. it is called that because the machine steams the coffee at the end to create a foamy topping. It is VERY satisfying by itself and I think is probably the strength that you are looking for.Age: 35-44

No, Kaffe Crema does NOT have milk in the coffee/disc. Crema refers to the "foam" that is created during the brewing process. A good crema is a sought after characteristic of a good espresso even though this is not an espresso coffee. If you're looking for a robust, flavorful decaf, give this a try. You won't be disappointed.Age: 45-54
Gender: male

No, it doesn't have milk. I've also tried Gevalia and Maxwell decaf. The Kaffe Crema decaf is the best one. I've given Tassimo feedback to add more decaf in their selection because right now, I only like the Kaffe Crema.Age: 45-54

The Crema refers to the top layer of foam that forms afer brewing. It does not have any milk.The ML Crema and the Carte Noire Kenya are good options for Crema. Full flavor yet smooth.

Crema is just a thin layer of foam on top. It's probably produced by the way the Brewbot brews Crema coffees. Crema Mexicana does contain fresh cream (like crème fraîche).Age: Over 65

No, the "crema" coffee's do not have any cream in the coffee disk. The Tassimo uses the built in air-pump to froth the coffee while it's brewing. I think that really brings out the flavor.However, you can try one of the latte disks to create a "crema latte"!! No pun intended. :)

Crema does not refer to any milk in the coffee. Crema refers to the foam that floats on the surface of certain brews of coffee. Specificaly the brew is espresso, however some roasts of coffee have crema as well. Tassimo varieties such as the Hag and some Carte Noire have crema as well.3 years, 11 months ago

I've been noticing problems with this particular disc for the last 3 or 4 months. Every time I brew a cup of this particular coffee I have problems with water leaking into the coffee while brewing. At first I thought maybe it was a problem with my brewer but since it only happens with the Hag disc I'm thinking it must be the disc. This is my favorite crema disc because its a decaf. Now when I brew this disc there is hardly any crema because of the water leaking during the brewing process. I've noticed that the disc doesn't fit as snug in the brewer as the other do. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and what if anything has Tassimo done about it. Thanks.

Thank you Tassimo cs I did call the CS number and was told they would send replacement disc and make a report about the problems I was experiencing with the Hag disc.

Does this come in a 8ct or 16ct? The price is not comparable to the other Cremas because they are a 16ct. Hag looks like 8ct.
Also, the description for the Hag Crema decaf show a descrition for Kenco 16 ct. I just want to be sure of what I am going to order. Thanks!

It comes as 2-8 count boxes wrapped together. So you get a full 16. But the fact that you get the 2 8 count boxes is why it looks like an 8. The taste is similar to the Kenco, but not as strong as the Kenco columbian.3 years ago
Kaffee Hag Crema Decaf packages contain 16 T-Discs.3 years, 1 month ago
Mine came in two individually wrapped 8 count boxes, that were bound together by a clear plastic strip. The silver wrapper was like the big one for 2 or 3 boxes. I don't know why they sell it like that, but in total, it was 16 discs, altogether.Age: 45-54

I love my Tassimo brewer and although I have found several coffees that I enjoy a lot I still need a good decaf. I want to use Cafe Hag because I have used it in other forms and know I like it, but before I buy it in t-discs I would like to understand why they cost twice as much. Does anyone know?
Tassimo, please offer more more decaf choices. Someday will you let us have the Carte Noire decaf espresso t-discs that are available in Europe and the UK?

I don't think it is. It is 2-8 count boxes. It is MUCH better than MH, which tastes awful.3 years ago
I bought this on My Tassimo on a Tuesday special for $6 per package (16 T Discs). I bought $30 worth, so I got free shipping. That's much cheaper than buying the Maxwell House Decaf for $7.29 at Target or the Gevalia Decaf for $7.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond. However, I agree that the $8.99 regular price is a bit steep for a smaller portion decaf, but it's the best decaf T-Disc I've found!3 years, 1 month ago

I don't believe Hag makes a caffeinated version of the crema, but you might want to try Jacobs Crema - Sanft & Mild or Kenco Crema....they are both VERY similar to the Hag Crema. I can barely tell the difference. Kenco also makes a medium roast caffeinated coffee (not crema) that is very good. I have given up all others for these 3 brands.

Downton Abbey inspired style
With Downton Abbey having just returned for season two and picked up a handful of awards at the Globes, we thought we'd check it out and see what the hype was all about — and we're glad we did! The show is not only jam-packed with torrid love affairs, quick British wit, and dashing uniformed gentlemen – there's also the clothes. Oh, the clothes.
Set in an era where everyone dresses for dinner, the assortment of outfits in every episode is to die for: painstakingly tailored marvels that look simultaneously refined and glamorous. From beaded evening gowns to fitted ankle-length riding coats, we never knew that conservative twenties Britain could be so sexy.
We've found a few current pieces that flawlessly capture the essence of DA style, with just enough contemporary flare. Throw any of these on to instantly amp up your wardrobe's vintage romance factor.
This mini-dress radiates retro-chic through elegant jewel tones, delicate lace, and structured shoulders.
What's prettier than sheer black lace? The unique draping and scalloped neckline makes this Tadashi Shoji dress both romantic and modern.
Nothing says "twenties" like a beaded flapper frock. This pleated Sue Wong version is a less obvious, more modern iteration on the classic style.
Top any outfit off with a lovely tweed coat (the heart of a true British wardrobe) for an instant injection of ladylike chic.
But remember tartelettes, as with any costume-inspired look, the key to avoiding looking like an extra is toning down the period-piece drama with some modern twists. Balance these outfits with sky-high peep-toes, loose hair, and a fresh face (try our Amazonian clay 12-hour full coverage foundation and a bright LipSurgence™ lip tint) and you'll be good to go!

Comments about Black Diamond Bullet 16 Pack:
I originally got this pack to take out bouldering and sport climbing. Over the past couple of years, it has become my day pack as well as my mountain biking pack. It has plenty of room for a bladder, pump, tubes, tools, phone, keys, snacks, etc. The best feature to me is the durability of the fabric. It takes a beating and just keeps lasting.

I needed a very lightweight but durable pack to carry in my luggage to Europe - which I could then use on day trips for water, raingear, reading material, maps, etc. This pack is perfect. It is very comfortable under load and I do not use the waist belt at all.

Here it is
My Soul to Keep
The title is from a different book. I never read that book and acutally have no idea what the book is about, but the title of the story inspired me to write this FF so I thought it would fit for me to name it after that.
October 10th, 2012, 11:28 AM #10
Interesting title.
October 11th, 2012, 05:33 AM #11
I wasn't going to, but then I found the front half of a story i'd completely forgotten about and it sort of fits. Maybe a bit obvious if you know the prompt in advance, but what the heck:
Must be in the fifties

A gram stain of a skin lesion is a laboratory test that uses special stains to detect and identify bacteria in a sample from a skin sore. The gram stain method is one of the most commonly used techniques for the rapid diagnosis of bacterial infections.
Skin lesion gram stain
Your health care provider will remove a sample of tissue from the skin sore. For information on how this is done, see the article on skin lesion biopsy .
The sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is applied in a very thin layer to a glass slide. A series of different colored stains is applied to the sample. A laboratory team member examines the stained slide under a microscope, checking for bacteria. The color, size, and shape of the cells help identify the infecting organism.
No preparation is needed for the laboratory test.
The laboratory test is painless. For information on what it feels like to have the skin sample removed, see skin lesion biopsy .
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of an infected skin sore. The test is done to determine which bacteria is causing the infection.
The test is normal if no bacteria are identified.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal result means bacteria have been found in the skin lesion. Further tests are needed to confirm the results.
There are no risks related to the laboratory test. For information on risks related to the removal of a skin sample, see skin lesion biopsy .
A skin or mucosal culture may be done along with this test. Other studies are often done on a skin sample to determine if cancer is present.
Viral skin lesions, like herpes simplex, are examined by other tests or a viral culture.

Yes, but what about decrease in the number of believers?
Frosty maybe we should discuss numbers, either the real kind or the book in the bible. There was one messed up quote in Numbers I found.
I think Christ is a title, not a literal man. If there is a Christ (and I believe there are several), then there are several Christs. It seems that they don't associate much but are aware of each other's existence in the universe somewhere. I have wondered if they can literally shape truth. The Amber series of Roger Zelazny comes to mind.

Insomnia, or trouble sleeping, is a common problem for patients with cancer. It can present as difficulty falling asleep, multiple awakenings during the night or early morning with the inability to get back to sleep. Insomnia can lead to fatigue, memory and concentration problems, mood disturbances and psychiatric disorders.
For more in depth information on Insomina, go to Insomnia Overview on OncoLink.
May 25, 2010 - In cancer survivors who report sleeping problems after completing adjuvant therapy, a yoga program may lead to better sleep, less fatigue and an improved quality of life, according to a study released May 20 in advance of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's 46th Annual Meeting, to be held June 4-8 in Chicago.

Homemade Condiment Recipes for Your Next Cookout!
Next time you're grilling, skip the store-bought ketchup, mayo, and relish, and start from scratch! Our homemade condiments are infused with fresh, flavor-packed sweet and savory ingredients, from serrano chile to beer. Don't forget to check out our grilling guide to find fantastic, easy recipes to pair with all these mouthwatering toppings.
By Kara Rodemer
Yellow Pepper Relish
A colorful relish for burgers or hot dogs, this recipe's unique flavor comes from a combination of yellow bell peppers, pineapple, and a serrano chile.
Recipe: Yellow Pepper Relish
Cool Fresh Corn Relish
Serve this fresh summertime treat as a vegetable side dish or as a condiment to accompany your favorite grilled fish, chicken, or steak.
Recipe: Cool Fresh Corn Relish
Hot Dog Relishes
Three-Pickle Relish: Half-sour, kosher dill, and sweet gherkin pickles are the main players in this relish. A gentle hint of acidity makes flavors pop.
Mustard Relish with Turmeric: This relish is a zippy, easy variation of its three-pickle sister.
Red and White Onion Relish: Red and white onions simmer with vinegar, sugar, and aromatic cumin seeds to create a tangy-sweet alternative to traditional pickle relishes. Since it needs to marinate for several days, this relish should be prepared at least a week before you want to serve it.

Cherry Ketchup
If you think that ketchup is made only from tomatoes, think again! Tart fruit can be simmered into delicious lightly spiced ketchup that makes a fine condiment for just about any poultry or meat. Here, it's served atop Cherry Burgers.
Recipe: Cherry Ketchup
Blueberry Ketchup
Here's an exceptionally easy condiment, perfect for a summer barbecue, that adds a subtle hint of sweetness from the blueberries. Not only great on burgers, it's terrific as a glaze on grilled salmon or served alongside barbecued chicken.
Recipe: Blueberry Ketchup
Olive Ketchup
Kalamata olives give this quick (ready in only 10 minutes) homemade ketchup a Greek spin and rich flavor. It's a perfect finish for fish, or serve it with Mediterranean Burgers.
Recipe: Olive Ketchup
Spicy Banana Ketchup
Ketchup wasn't always the ketchup we know today: The first ketchup was a pickled fish condiment popular in the 17th century in China, discovered by visiting Brits. (Creative Americans added tomatoes during Colonial times.) Try our version of this savory, spicy sauce on a burger, with pork or fish, or even as a dipping sauce for chicken fingers.
Recipe: Spicy Banana Ketchup
Avocado Pico de Gallo
Made with ripe avocados, tomatoes, and sweet corn, this pico de gallo gets a kick from cilantro and jalapeño. This recipe goes perfectly with sliced vegetables or baked tortilla chips for a diet-friendly appetizer, and also makes a great topping for grilled chicken or fish.
Recipe: Avocado Pico de Gallo
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Mango-Radish Salsa
Sweet, tart, and crunchy, this salsa is perfect alongside grilled steak or grilled chicken.
Recipe: Mango-Radish Salsa
Grapefruit Salsa
The bright, jewel tones from grapefruit, a navel orange, and a serrano chile of this tart and spicy salsa will delight the eye and the mouth. Try putting it on top of hearty grilled fish like swordfish or mahimahi.
Recipe: Grapefruit Salsa
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Scallion-Lemon Mayonnaise
Go guilt-free with this recipe using low-fat and nonfat sour cream. Infused with scallions, lemon zest, and lemon juice, this mayo adds a tangy touch to sandwiches, burgers, and as a dip for a platter of grilled summer vegetables.
Recipe: Scallion-Lemon Mayonnaise
Green Tomato Chutney
This tangy-sweet chutney is the perfect use for any leftover green tomatoes. Try it with grilled pork tenderloin or as an exotic hot dog topping.
Recipe: Green Tomato Chutney
Mango-Chile Chutney
This sweet, tart, hot chutney showcases the beauty of mangoes, but also works wonderfully with pineapple. Its flavor combination goes best served atop a piece of grilled wild salmon.
Recipe: Mango-Chile Chutney

Dyrmyk here again.
My friend saw two demons in the sky on the date of August 26th 2009 in the City of Oshawa Ontario Canada.
Has anyone caught them on video yet?
They were both black one of them had a head of a cat and a body of a dragon with a stubby tail.
The other one I can't quite remember what my friend said but my friends and I have seen the first one before. On the first sighting, my friend saw it on the ground in front of our house, It didn't stay long because my friend chanted a LDS prayer at it and disappeared after a beam of pure white light hit it from heaven.
Both sightings happened in broad daylight.

The ugly truth is white on white crime does exist. It is a growing pandemic in the white community, and if we don't call attention to this problem soon, there will be no more white people left to run the world.
Fifty years after the bloody Selma march shocked Johnson and the nation into taking fast track action to right a glaring historic wrong, namely the denial of the right to vote to millions in America, that right is still under intense assault. This is why we still need a Selma today.
There is only one person who can determine how far you can go in life -- you. Always remember that what you tell yourself and believe about yourself will be the truth.
Locks are an unapologetically black hairstyle, from their origins to the growing process. And while natural black hair has been put down for hundreds of years in the United States, Zendaya Coleman was showcasing pride.
By loving, cherishing, and supporting mathematics education for African American women and girls, we improve our society and empower future generations.
A multi-cultural group of retired and former police officers met with Rep. Jackson Lee of Texas to share and discuss their varied personal experiences with regard to institutionalized racism and the unnecessary state-sponsored murders of all Americans.
Now, perhaps more than ever before, black people are joining forces and standing up for their rights and recognition. Yet, there is still disharmony within that same united front when it comes to accepting our transgender brothers and sisters.
And Malcolm X stands for self-empowerment. He is proof that anyone, even those who have fallen far, can free himself. You just have to work harder. That's why his spirit is very much still alive in the whole wide world even 50 years after his death.
All loans are not created equal, and in recent years the personal loan has become a great option for people to use. However, you might be wondering just what makes a personal loan different from a traditional loan from your bank.
Not only should we seek to achieve energy equity for all consumers, we also need to support diversity and inclusion efforts, and ensure that this is a priority for today's emerging, clean energy sector.
Too many of us have not been good to our HBCUs, but time and dwindling resources are moving faster than our own individual maturity. And for the HBCUs which need the support, the time for harvest is now; even from unyielding crops like me.
I truly hope Obama ignores the noise and pushes the EPA to set a strong standard that will adequately protect public health based on the science, which is what the Clean Air Act requires.
While overall rates of disconnection from society are likely to trend down as the nation recovers from the Great Recession, history suggests that disconnected young men of color are in danger of being permanently left behind, and this has implications for future generations.
Honoring the foot soldiers of Selma is a great step forward on the march toward justice for those who sacrificed for us. However, the momentum must continue. There must be just as strong a showing of bipartisan support to fix the legislation for which they sacrificed, starting with congressional hearings and votes to move the bill forward.
Students (young and older) respond to instruction in the way that is expected of them. If taught as if they are slow, students will conform to that perception. Imagine what would happen if we treated all students, from the earliest years through their post-secondary studies, as if there were geniuses inside, simply waiting for recognition.
Watching Common and John Legend make history in what was an emotionally moving performance of "Glory," and win the Academy Award for Best Original Song was more than I could have dreamed. Everything else paled in comparison, and it wasn't long before we called it a night.
Fitz is an extremely aggressive individual, and I often get scared watching his interactions with both Mellie and Olivia, but somehow the show still paints him as the victim, the "good guy," and I really don't think it is okay.
In the theatre world, there are ordinary roles, and then there are roles of a lifetime. Harriet Tubman is among the latter.

(KMOV) – One lane on westbound I-70 will be closed through rush hour Thursday evening as crews make emergency repairs to a broken drain grate.
Missouri Department of Transportation officials say drivers are urged to instead use Rte. 370 or Rte. 364 to cross the Missouri River. That lane reduction leaves only two open for westbound I-70.
Both directions of I-70 are already reduced to three lanes in each direction on the eastbound side as crews complete a major renovation to the westbound bridge.
The westbound bridge is scheduled to be complete by the fall.

Start with 2/3 cup fat-free Greek yogurt and 1/3 cup mayo. You can use regular or reduced-fat mayo, but don't use fat-free mayo which always contains sugar.)
Easy Double-Dill South Beach Friendly Tartar Sauce
(Makes 1 1/4 cups tartar sauce, recipe created by Kalyn.)
2/3 cup fat-free plain yogurt (I used my favorite Greek yogurt. If you can't find it, there are links in that post for how to strain yogurt or make your own Greek yogurt.)
1/3 cup mayo (I used full-fat mayo, but you can use reduced fat)
1/2 tsp. dill weed (dried dill)
1/4 tsp. Bon Appetit seasoning (optional)
2 T capers, drained and finely minced
3 T dill pickle relish (or use finely chopped dill pickles)
In a plastic bowl, combine yogurt and mayo, then whisk in dill weed (and Bon Appetit if using.) Let sit while you drain and finely chop the capers. Add chopped capers and dill pickle relish (or chopped dill pickles) to the yogurt-mayo mixture and stir to gently combine. Mixture should be chunky. Refrigerate for a few hours before using for best flavor. This will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
