See All 14 TeasRecent Tasting Notes
I was talked into this one by my wife and son. They loved it. Me not so much. I could not taste tea at all. The mint didn't jump out but that was fine with me. The lemonade was the strongest flavor and it is tart. To me the other ingredients just reinforce the tart and it comes off as almost hibiscus like. Makes sense though as my wife likes hibiscus flavored herbals. Not for me.
I think I normally review this as TAZO. O well. We were out and about, wife needed coffee and I needed Earl Grey. I asked for this iced. I forgot what they were about to do to my tea so I had to add 1 Splenda. You people that hate bergamot – never order EG at Starbucks. Based on my experience (every time because I always forget) I would hate bergamot too. First off they steep it for 5 minutes. That is just too long. I always forget to tell them 3 minutes – tops. Just like their coffee it smells strong enough to melt your face. Plus all the ice is melted. If they can fix a frappuccino why can't they fix iced tea? I should have asked for a glass of ice. I didn't so this is my own fault. It is very bitter – face puckeringly so – and the bergamot that should be wonderfully refreshing is overwhelming my senses. I'm typing my complaining out so maybe, just maybe, I'll remember next time and explain too them how to prepare it correctly.
I'm soo bad, I've had four of these THIS WEEK already. Always 2X the matcha and without the whipped cream, but still creamy and sugary and yummy as the weather is warming up. 2x the stars for the holiday weekend doesn't hurt either. =D
I was in the store today and they have a special edition cold cup. _
. I have a slight problem with cups, I can't stop buying them! At least it meant my drink was free with the purchase of a cup. ($13 cup- $5 frappe… = $8 cup?). Normally I wait until seasonal clearance for new cups but it was THERE and it's PRETTY. lol. I probably should just buy some matcha powder and start attempting them at home. $5/16oz cup still feels heavy on the wallet, although I wonder how fast I'll run through the matcha @6tsp/16oz frappe or 8tsp/24oz and if the tradeoff is worth the money. Or if that is even the right proportion.
Hehe, thanks for your recipe. I think it'll take me some time to see how I like it, but I just ordered some off Zen Tea while it's on sale. I have a vague idea of how Sbux makes it, but there are soo many ways to enjoy matcha, I'm going to enjoy experimenting.
Is there a reason why you use stevia? I rarely sweeten my tea but I've noticed stevia being popular around here. I'm still using white sugar. =)
The Starbucks Frappuccinos are generally too sweet for my liking, so I always tweak the recipe when I place the order. (Yes, I am one of THOSE customers…). Today's recipe went like this:
Venti green tea Frappuccino, soymilk, light ice, no syrup.
It was good. I accepted the whipped cream on top, which is not—as some might smirk—really a contradiction since I select soymilk not because I am totally lactose intolerant, but because milk makes me drowsy. Ever since my sister informed me that the whipped cream is prepared fresh to order, I have rarely been able to decline!
All in all, today's recipe was pretty good. To be honest, I do not consider this green tea Frappuccino to be so much a glass of tea as a frozen green confection. I often request extra matcha, but the first time I did that, I was unaware that they use a sweetened matcha powder, not straight-up matcha. This meant that I completely cancelled out my reduction of syrup by amping up the matcha. Now I know that each scoop of matcha contains 25 calories = pretty much sugar calories… Needless to say, doubling the matcha in one of these beverages is going to significantly increase the calories and sweetness as well!
Since I ordered my green shake so late in the day, I did not request any extra matcha whatsoever. Hoping to get some sleep tonight!
I'm not a big fan of Earl Grey on its own, but ordered this with a shot of hazelnut syrup and it was nice! Kind of tasted like marshmallow.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, MY UK TELEVISION DEBUT IS CURRENTLY AIRING and you can also see it on youtube:
You can see my fat face from about 6 seconds in on the right. Lordy.
so i've had this twice already in the last few days & i remember first trying it way back in November (?) at a Barnes & Noble, where i was fortuitously seated near a shelf full of Harney & Sons sachet tins (actually, i'm not so sure it was 'fortuitous' since i sat myself…but there weren't many other options.) it was then that i made my first purchase of their tea: Green tea with Thai flavors (the post-Bangkok era).
as for the frap, it was pretty sweet (not at all a bad thing in my book) so i am always sure to order it without syrup or whipped cream. it's simply scrumptious and a total dessert and/or meal made with just a few scoops of the powder & prepared hot as a latte with 3/4 water & 1/4 soy milk. freaking delicious. need to try this iced!
I'm in Montreal guys! I immediately got off the very full plane and headed to get this tea. This has become a bit of a habit when I have stopovers in Montreal, which is nearly every summer.
I'm not usually a Starbucks fan, but this is the one treat I allow myself. It's a nice pick me up after the somewhat long flight. I've got about an hour and a half to kill before my flight home. Home, eeee! Even though I'll only be there for about 7 hours, I'm so excited.
P.S. The paper and presentation I saved for the flights, well I finished the paper within the first hour and got two chapters of studying done for medical evolution. Productivity for the win.
We were! I am still technically here, on the runway. Perhaps we will be geographically close again soon.
I just came back from a club meeting and I walked to the copy and mail center to mail my friend her tea and the guy who helped me out told me he was a tea drinker! Yeah I kinda put it in the wrong envelope so he had to open it up and put it in the correct one.
Well since I was just a building away from Starbucks, I decided to do a Starbucks run :)
I've actually never gad this tea before. I've only ever had the Chai tea latte and the green tea looked… A bit too green and offputting to me? Let it be known, I've never had matcha before so the greenest tea I've ever had was just any regular old green tea.
But this is actually pretty good! I got it with light whip cuz I didn't know if a lot of whip would ruin it.
Definitely tastes green, a bit sweet to my liking. Next time I order I'll probably tweak it up a bit :)
I had another one of these today: grande, soy milk, extra hot with whip. It tasted better in one of the big cream-colored mugs than in a paper cup. Still pretty much a meal replacement. There is definitely not enough caffeine in this concoction, but I do like the level of spices.
There is a big dose of pepper—very obviously—but lots of other stuff as well, including cardamom and ginger, two of my favorite spices. Chocolate Chai Tea Latte is pretty good, if evaluated as a dessert, which is what it really is.
I enjoyed a Tazo Chocolate Tea Latte at Starbucks today. Mine was a grande with soymilk, whipped cream, extra hot. It was quite tasty, with a potent dose of spices, but more of a dessert than a drink. The last time I had one of these, I forgot to request soy milk, and I felt a bit groggy after drinking it. Today's was much better, although I'm not sure what rating to give it, since it was really a meal replacement beverage, not so much a tea…
We stopped at Starbucks today to get breakfast before the kids' Kung Fu classes so I decided to try one of these. I got mine with nonfat milk.
I haven't had chai in what seems like forever and I forgot how enjoyable it can be. This went surprisingly well with my spinach wrap, and after I'd eaten I continued sipping on this contentedly.
I'd only ever had the regular Starbucks chai before, not the chocolate. The chocolate is quite nice. The spices still come through nicely. I got mostly cardamom and some cinnamon, some clove and ginger, not much pepper all, and no anise. That was all fine with me as it's the cardamom that I really love the most. I wouldn't have liked this if it had been heavy on the anise. Licorice is a really tricky flavor for me and it has to hit me just right. Most of the time it doesn't.
If I don't get coffee at Starbucks next time, I'll be getting this. I'm also now primed to break out my own chai stash and start cooking.
But this gets extra points because I didn't have to slave over a hot stove. ;-)
I buy the concentrate from Costco for the price of one latte I get three containers and make a heck of a lot more :D I like making it iced in the summer.
So- I only go to Starbucks when I'm meeting this one friend of mine.
She's a coworker who was my mentor at work for the past year, and it became our thing, monthly 'mentor' sessions that turned into 'vent' sessions. I remember when I first started working with her that I felt we were such a terrible fit for each other – I couldn't do anything right and she just seemed so different from me, so loud and outspoken.
Then my first year ended, that whole official mentor relationship ended…and we still do our meetings and just talk.
So I had this tea yesterday and it was good, but I can't really tell you much about it because I didn't drink it with the intent of paying attention to it. It was more sweet than spicy, and I have better chai's in my cupboard at home. But it was tea, on a cold morning, and I'll take it.
Mmmm, racked up a free drink with Starbucks and decided to run to Starbucks quickly on my break. Ended up ordering a vente even though I'll never drink the whole thing (something about it being free I guess.)
Extra Hot, No water.
Simply delicious, although I find as I am eating less and less sugar, that it is a big sweet now for my tastes.
You're always so quick on the draw!!! It's heavenly. I don't get to drink many made for me drinks these days. Working from home basically negates the need to leave your house for lunches and breaks. That being said I do like eating and drinking my own stuff in my house. Good for my wallet too. But that doesn't mean I don't like being spoiled once in a while.

JPython: The Felicitous Union of Python and Java
The average JPython user won't care one iota how it works, as long as it does. If you're curious, however, knowing how a tool works is a necessary step toward knowing how to use it well. At the highest level of analysis, JPython takes Python scripts (.py files) and compiles them to Java Virtual Machine (JVM) bytecodes, which in turn are executed by the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Using a program called jpythonc, one can even take Python scripts and compile them to .class files, which are then usable as beans, applets or servlets, or in any other system where compiled Java code can be used.
A more useful description of how JPython works is based on the object model it uses. In CPython, Python objects are divided into two kinds of types: built-in types, such as integers, strings, file objects, etc., and instance and class objects. Furthermore, every instance is linked to a class object via a __class__ attribute, and class objects can be linked to base classes via the __bases__ tuple attribute.
In JPython, all Python objects are instances of a Java class. Thus, the number 42 is an instance of the Java class PyInteger, which is accessible through its __class__ attribute. Furthermore, all objects which the JPython user can manipulate are instances of a class which derives from a common base class, PyObject. If these relationships aren't clear, don't worry; the details are almost never needed. What's important is what this design means: all Python objects (including number, string, instance and class objects) are Java objects. Two consequences follow. First, any Java code which can process a Java Object can process a JPython object. Second, all memory management in JPython is done by the normal Java mechanisms, i.e., by the garbage collector implemented in the runtime environment.
What does this mean for the Python user? It means that, unlike in CPython, you don't have to worry about creating cyclic references which CPython's reference-counting garbage collector won't reclaim—in Java, those will be reclaimed. That's the good news. The bad news is the programmer no longer has complete control over when garbage collection occurs. For example, code which relies on file objects being closed when the references to them go out of scope, such as
data = '' for filename in glob.glob('*.txt'): data = data + open(filename).read()
might have problems, depending on when the JVM decides to garbage-collect the file objects created by the open calls. To be conservative, the code above should be written as
data = '' for filename in glob.glob('*.txt'): file = open(filename) data = data + file.read() file.close()The final consequence of JPython's delegating memory management to Java is that __del__ methods in user-defined classes are never called. There is no theoretical reason why they couldn't be enabled in the future, but current JVMs take a massive performance hit if the finalize methods perform nontrivial tasks, which would be required for full __del__-method support. Given that the Java spec doesn't guarantee that finalize methods are ever called, relying on __del__ methods would probably not be a good idea anyway.
Let's analyze the first few lines of another sample program, to explore how Python allows clean interaction with Java libraries, as shown in Figure 2.
In line 1, we see what looks like a standard Python import statement. In fact, what goes on behind the scenes is quite remarkable, as java.awt is neither a .py file nor a compiled extension. In fact, JPython is making a runtime Python module out of a Java package. When JPython tries to import a module and can't find a Python module with the specified name (in this case, java), it looks in CLASSPATH for a .class or .jar file, and then uses Java's introspection mechanism (the reflection API) to figure out which subpackages and classes are defined in the file. Using similar mechanisms, JPython finds out that the awt subpackage in the java package defines a class BorderLayout. That class is then returned to the Python code wrapped in a Python object.
In line 2, we import the swing module from the pawt package. pawt stands for Python AWT; AWT stands for Abstract Windowing Toolkit, which is the official name for the Java GUI. Swing has been packaged in various locations in the package hierarchy through the years, and pawt does the work of figuring out which is the case in your installation.
Lines 3 through 5 simply define a function, which ignores its sole argument and quits Python.
Line 6 creates a JFrame instance with the title "LinuxJournal Example" and a keyword argument visible with a value of 1. What is hidden is the fact that JPython figured out many things on the fly; specifically, it found out from Java (using the reflection API) that JFrame, defined in the Swing package, is a class in which the constructor takes at most one argument. That argument must be a Java String, so JPython converts the Python string into a Java String automatically. The keyword argument visible is not part of the constructor signature for JFrames (Java doesn't support keyword arguments), but JPython examines JFrame's complete signature and finds that one of JFrame's base classes, JComponent, defines two methods: setVisible and isVisible. Based on that information, JPython infers that "visible" is a property of JFrames. (Properties are also obtained by looking at BeanInfo files, for those who use them.) Once a property has been identified, JPython programmers can set and get them with the standard object.attribute notation, or set them with keyword arguments in constructor calls. In other words, the line
frame = JFrame('LinuxJournal Example', visible=1)
could have been written
frame = JFrame('LinuxJournal Example') frame.visible = 1or, in Java style:
frame = JFrame('LinuxJournal Example') frame.setVisible(1)Line 7 is similar to line 6, but JPython had to work a little harder to determine which of the four signatures for JButton's constructor had to be used. (JButton can also be called with an Icon, a String and an Icon, or nothing at all.) Also, the actionPerformed keyword argument is even more sophisticated than the property setting just described. The best way to explain this feature is to pretend it didn't exist. We can write
def exit(event): sys.exit(0) button = JButton('Close Me!', actionPerformed=exit)instead of
class action(awt.event.ActionListener): def actionPerformed(self,event): sys.exit(0) button = JButton("Close Me!") button.addActionListener(action())In other words, in standard Java, the event handler for a widget (e.g., determining what should happen when a button is clicked) is specified by passing an instance of a class which defines an actionPerformed method. This fairly cumbersome mechanism is necessary because Java doesn't allow passing function objects. JPython allows use of the simpler Python idiom of setting a callback attribute with a function object, and does the conversion on the fly. The rest of the program is fairly simple, and cheats only a little in that JTree, when called with no arguments, builds a sample tree automatically (see Demo/swing/treedemo.py in the JPython distribution for an example of how to build a tree from scratch).
JPython can perform several other magic tricks behind the scenes, allowing you to write Python code while talking to Java libraries. All of these are documented on the jpython.org web site. They include automatic type conversion, subclassing from Java classes in Python and vice versa, dealing with Java interfaces, dealing with Java arrays (which are different from Python lists) and dealing with Unicode. You'll also need to go to the web site to learn about jpythonc, the JPython compiler, which compiles Python code to .class files.
There are two more benefits which JPython brings, not to the Java world, but to the Python world. First, because it is written in an object-oriented language, modifying JPython is easier than modifying CPython. For example, Barry Warsaw added string methods to JPython in a few hours, but it took him several days to do the same for CPython. Thus, JPython provides a good testbed for playing with language features which can be evaluated in a working implementation before deciding whether to adopt them in the language specification. The experience gained with JPython's more unified type model will probably influence future development of the Python type system.
In addition, JPython helped the Python community simply by being the first complete "second implementation" of the language. By its very existence, JPython forced Guido to decide what aspects of CPython were language features, what aspects were implementation features, and what aspects were, if not bugs, ill-chosen features.
JPython's biggest weakness at this point is probably its relative slowness. The slowness is not too surprising, given the slowness of the underlying Java platform; still, it is a noticeable change from CPython's speed. If speed is a concern, then experimenting with some Just-In-Time compilers (JITs) can provide a significant boost. If speed is not a concern and you're willing to help stamp out the remaining bugs, JPython is a very elegant, full-featured scripting solution for Java systems.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Related Strips: #308: Twilight of the Nerds
The comic Keith is reading is The Night Projectionist, by Bob Heske and Diego Yapura, a horror comic (in the vein of the old EC horror comics, but with a fresh, modern flavor) about — yep — a mysterious projectionist who has to protect a movie theater full of small-town yokels from a vampire attack. (No, this was not a paid product placement, although I almost made a product placement joke in this strip — but it felt too much like I was breaking the fourth wall.)
The first issue is now available at fine local comics shops everywhere (or at Heavy Ink, if you want to order it online). It's also being serialized online in black and white as a Night Projectionist Noir (the first twelve pages are up so far, and it almost looks cooler in black and white). This first issue is all set-up, though; the second issue is where the fun really begins. If reading isn't your thing, you can also wait for the movie adaptation from Myriad Pictures, which has already been announced.
Thanks are due to Studio 407 and Bob Heske for permission to use the cover art in this comic.

While educational software designed by various companies is a regular part of daily instruction in most public schools across the United States, there remains a need for research-based evidence of the efficacy of specific programs. This study used a quantitative design to compare ac
Many professional Appalachian women have built their careers in employment environments which expect the language of the academy—Standard American English (SAE). This expectation, along with societal beliefs that Appalachian English (AE), the native vernacular of these women, is an inferior language variety, has led many women to balance the two language varieties through bidialectism. This qualitative study explored the language attitudes of twelve professional Appalachian women, seeking a be
College students often perceive the university as alienating; reading and writing impersonal research texts can intensify this sense of disconnect. College professors often feel passion and enthusiasm toward their own research yet find it difficult to create this excitement in their research writing classrooms. This qualitative study explored student and teacher perceptions and instructional approaches in a university research writing course, seeking clues to student engagement.

Whiteness and Resistance: Investigating Student Concepts of White Privilege in the Writing Classroom
Of the many identity issues that students face as they enter university writing
courses—those of gender, class, age, and race—the issue of white privilege is one that is seldom addressed. In the predominately white Southern university where I teach, African American students make up 26% of the incoming freshman population, reflecting the racial demographics of the state. Although the visible majority, white students benefit
from racial privilege that seems invisible, at least to them. I am i
College Student Perceptions of Expectations for Academic Literacy in Their First Term
This case study observes five first-term college students as they adapt, apply, or reject academic literacy practices in two of their core courses at Georgia Southern University. This information is intended to help the teacher-researcher as well as her university identify how students make the difficult transition from high school to university literacy expectations.
During the sixteen-week fall semester, the researcher observed students in their classroom environments, interviewed each individ

The Language of Loss: Transformation in the Telling, In and Beyond the Writing Classroom
Countless students enter college suffering from traumatic losses such as the death of a parent, and many choose to write about their grief in composition classes. Many orphaned students compose their sorrow in order to find hope, without which their chances of thriving are limited. Some feel ill-equipped to meet academic and other challenges as they are preoccupied with feelings of homelessness and abandonment. Because the loss of a parent irrevocably alters one's home—and the yearning for h
Using A Simulated Student for Instructional Design
In this paper, I describe how a cognitive model was used as a simulated student to help design lessons for training circuit board assemblers. The model was built in the Soar cognitive architecture, and was initially endowed with only an ability to learn instructions and prerequisite knowledge for the task. Five lessons, and a total of 81 instructions for teaching expert assembly were developed by iteratively drafting and testing instructions with the simulated student. The resulting instructions

Trinity of Consciousness: Body, Mind, Soul and Female Identity in the Novels of Gail Godwin
Gail Godwin's novels emphasize the forging of the female self/identity. Even Godwin's earliest critics stress the ways Godwin consistently chooses to portray female protagonists as complex female characters; as Godwin's critics point out, the crafting of female identity becomes central to the analysis and understanding of Godwin's ―vision‖ of/for female identity.
My analysis of Godwin's work extends from and beyond the groundwork laid by earlier critics. I contend that, even as God

Crespo confirms Inter exit
03 Mar 2009 - 07:30:15
Hernan Crespo has confirmed he will definitely leave Internazionale at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old Argentinian struck a vital equaliser during Sunday's 3-3 draw with AS Roma, but having been overlooked for the majority of the season by coach Jose Mourinho, is determined to leave the San Siro in the summer.
"After a difficult year, it's great to have scored such an important goal," he said.
"Things don't happen out of coincidence. That goal is the result of my daily hard work.
"But in June, without a doubt, I will change teams.
"At this point it has become clear to me that this is the only solution as facts speak louder than words."

NSA collects e-mail address lists: Can users be protected? (+video)
The NSA snags contact information as it flows through telecommunications servers and other systems overseas, according to a Washington Post report. Not surprisingly, civil libertarians are unhappy with the new revelations.
Each day the National Security Agency scoops up half a million "buddy list" and in-box e-mail address lists from instant chat and Web-based e-mail services worldwide, according to internal agency documents released Monday by The Washington Post.
Using computerized electronic filters, the NSA snags the buddy lists and address books as they flow through telecommunications servers and other systems overseas, where US laws do not restrict wholesale data gathering, the Post reported, citing conversations with unnamed senior US intelligence officials.
Collection happens most often when computers and smart phones allow their users to "sync" their contact lists to services such as Yahoo, Facebook, and Google. At the same time, Web-based e-mail services often produce detailed lists of recipients on the fly, as e-mails are sent and received.
On one typical day, the NSA collected 444,743 e-mail address books from Yahoo, 105,068 from Hotmail, 82,857 from Facebook, 33,697 from Gmail, and 22,881 from other providers, one of two documents shows. Both documents were leaked to the Post by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
At this rate, the take is about 250 million such lists each year.
Such lists are "metadata rich," one of the documents notes. Besides e-mail addresses, they often include phone numbers, names, and sometimes the subject line and even first lines of an e-mail. Suspected terrorists and their contacts can be compared to such lists to find new leads.
"You need the haystack to find the needle," said Gen. Keith Alexander, NSA director, defending the agency's collection programs at the Aspen Security Forum in July.

Dying sucked, as far as America was concerned.
He was cold, alone, and totally peaceful. And he fucking hated it.
The monster's corpse rotted and stank beside him. He didn't care. He'd killed it with his own two hands, and yet he felt no joy or relief. He'd saved all his friends from certain death at the hands of this particular monster, but he didn't care.
All he could feel was pathetic. All he knew was terrible. Pain. Anguish. Sorrow.
I just wanted
to go home with everyone.
His hands reached up and touched his chest. It hurt. His fingers came away red. He didn't want to look at the damage, any more than he wanted his friends to see the damage.
How bad had the beast cut him? Worse than he'd cut it? No, otherwise it would have died slower.
How stupid
What kind of hero loses to something as stupid as this?
He was the hero. How could he fall like this? Wasn't he supposed to laugh in the face of Death? It was him who revived England after Death claimed him once before, right? So why? Why was Death coming for him now? And better yet, why was he allowing Death to come and take him away from everything he knew?
Maybe I had this coming
Part of him wondered if he really did. Though he pretended not to notice, he was not stranger to the fact that not many of the countries enjoyed him. Had he done something to offend someone, to make karma kick his ass in such a way?
For some odd reason, he thought about England.
Stupid old man
England's critical expressions, his snide comments, his amazing laughter, his sweet attempts to cook, his underlying concern
I never gave him an answer, did I
Before this whole thing had started, England had asked him a sort of stupid question. Not stupid because of what he said, but stupid because he had asked at all.
England already knew the answer, somewhere deep down.
And, like a moron, America had to be sarcastic and joking.
England had laughed, but America regretted it now. He wished he'd given England a real, serious answer, but maybe it was for the best. Better that he leave the question unanswered than give it a promise that would never be fulfilled, right?
He felt sad, but at the same time, peaceful. Again, he hated it. Why couldn't he scream for help?
Why couldn't he say that he wanted to live?
He knew why.
Because deep down, somewhere in his heart, he was happy it was ending this way.
The way things were going, he would die a hero.
Italy would find a way out of here. He always would. Retreating was his specialty, after all. They'd already started to find a way out the day before, far as he was concerned, and right now England was probably screaming at them to go find him because "the stupid git ran off to face the things on his own again!".
I'll be long gone if they get back here
He smiled, bitterly.
Dying's not so bad, I guess
The warm sting in his eyes bothered him; he hadn't been aware he was starting to cry.
but it sure is fucking depressing
He closed his eyes, one last time, and tried not to let that be his final thought.
Instead, he thought about England, about Canada, about Italy and Germany and Japan and France, about China and Russia and all the others. He thought about himself, sitting with them all at a world conference, laughing and making stupid remarks about things that didn't matter. But those things did matter, because they were all things they had done and said together. They were all things that had been special to him, if no one else. Those moments when they were all friends, all beside one another
They were all things he would miss, all things he knew he would regret missing.
But instead of being sad, he just smiled and thought.
And his memories claimed him one last time.

A theater game that teaches math to low-income, at-risk high schoolers in Los Angeles using game mechanics inspired by music business. Read more
A theater game that teaches math to low-income, at-risk high schoolers in Los Angeles using game mechanics inspired by music business.
About this project
Hit Seekers is an educational live action role-playing game that aims to help students in mathematics. We need help in developing this idea so kids anywhere can have fun while learning real-world business math topics.
We are currently playtesting Hit Seekers at a school in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). We are working with their math teacher to revitalize the class's basic skills, operational appreciation, and academic interest in the subject through real world problems as well as impart new math knowledge. Some students in class are far behind and have little to no desire to achieve.
We want to change that attitude.
Hit Seekers is an interactive game based on the music industry. In it, students form into groups and play-pretend to be executives at a record label with hundreds of thousands of dollars in capital. They sign recording artists, pair them with a producer and put them both into a recording studio. Each artist, producer, and studio is fictional, though some might seem very familiar. Each have their own costs, rates, talent level, and percentage take of royalties.
The students, as executives, have to best manage their artists to get the best record album to make the most money. They are dealing with topics like royalty percentages, income projections, budgeting, word problems, ratios and rates, and, as they promote the albums at different (fictional) clubs in geometric shapes, area and even trigonometry problems.
Our belief is that real world math problems in a context that is relevant to the student will be much more effective to increase their proficiency. We are trying to educate a young demographic in basic math, accounting, and business before they enter the adult world via a fun, interactive, safe play-pretend situation where it is possible to lose a million dollars without consequence.
We need your help! Development of this game requires a lot of production expenses, from artwork and photo rights to accounting ledgers. Plus, we will be evaluating our data from our playtest to ensure the game aligns with core math standards at different grade levels.
Please spread the word about this project even if you can't donate.
Pending our 501c3 approval by Dec 31, part of your donation will be tax deductible.

Hit Seekers is designed and produced by Seekers Unlimited, a non-profit (501c3 pending) company that uses live action role playing for education. This is our second school project. With your help, we can make Hit Seekers a hit, as well as make more hits. Thank you!
(sorry for the video quality)
This is like a larp but with some technical elements. The students, who work in groups, look at printed cards with artist/producer/studio info, take them to their desks and then do the math on paper in their accounting ledgers. We or the teacher check the math, and if correct, we update the wall with the new info, e.g., artist signed to Label X for two albums.
When the album comes out, we Tweet the result so the kids, and donors, can see.
We want to encourage face-to-face personal interactions of students with one another in their group as well as between groups. However, if we are Kickstarted we want to partner with a social media/transmedia company so the NPC artists and producers will be "friends" with the students, and will post notes specifically to the company they are working for. These friends will be automated bots, so the email address of the student remains private. Some notes would be: "I can't work with her anymore! You need to pay me an additional 20% of my salary or I'm walking!" And if the company doesn't compute that in time, the producer quits and the album isn't complete.

But on another note, did you guys realize that those sneaky oil guys have raised the price of gas to 3.99 throughout the valley this week? I think it's time we get our priorites in order and the public act on these outrageous gas prices??!! Go ahead check gas buddy, the site states this is the first time that Ohio has seen prices higher than the Big Three, California, Alaska, and Hawaii!!!! We can now proudly bost we have the highest gas prices in the nation. Prost!!!
djicey99...I noticed that on my way to work today. I swore we were 50 cents cheaper the other day
yes shutyourface (nice name by the way), literally in one week prices jumped from 3.39 to 3.89 and I live outside warren off Route 5 usually, Ravenna is .20 to .30 cents cheaper than Youngstown but not this time, they are both 3.89 to 3.99 compared to 3.39 and 3.44 last week!!! Happy End of the Summer, right?
@ Freeatlast:
Quoting from your comment "..............But that also means that communities have the right of free speech and to what is in their towns ."
Does this mean that, if a community (or the mayor of a community) wants to ban gays from doing business, they have this right and this is OK with you??
So, the big question is,"does the Vindy endorse gay marriage"?
Jerry. @ NO you can not do that by law
We could change the law . But that is never going to happen in my life .
I just think that the community should have the right to stop hate speech from anybody . To me most the people at the CAF were not showing understanding but bigotry and not the Christianity that most say or believe they are doing .
So what you're saying is that you feel your rights, and the rights of people who agree with you, should be protected; but anyone who disagrees with you is spouting "hate speech" and should be punished and silenced by force of law.
I just think that the community should have the right to stop hate speech from anybody .
Do you know what ANYBODY???? means, or is your mine so closed you forgot .

60,000 flee inter-jihadist battle in east Syria: NGO
BEIRUT (AFP) - Around 60,000 people have fled towns in Deir Ezzor province of eastern Syria that have been the scene of fierce clashes between rival jihadists, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday.
The battle between Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front and the breakaway Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has raged for four days despite an order from Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri to stop fighting.
"Residents of the towns of Busayra, home to 35,000 people, Abriha, home to 12,000 people, and Al-Zir, home to 15,000 people, have nearly all been displaced by the fighting in the area," said the Britain-based monitoring group.
The monitoring group, which relies on a vast network of contacts on the ground for its data, said Al-Nusra Front's fighters burnt down several houses in Busayra, as did ISIL in Abriha.

One of Agnes's handmade wreathes adorns her sky-blue front door. "Every item I create comes from a love of color," she says. "I inherited large quantities of vintage haberdashery from my French Canadian mémère and love to pull out snippets and pieces of this finery to include in my artwork... Since I stay at home with my daughter, part of my creativity is keeping this little lady busy, which involves setting her up with bowls of acorns, pine cones and buttons which she busily sorts while her mama works. Music is incredibly important to my creative process, and each creation is usually set to a different rhythm, a mood reflected in the feel of the finished piece."
While Agnes is drawn to color and collectibles, she also feels some satisfaction from good old-fashion housekeeping. "There is something so comforting about a wooden drying rack."
The kitchen is full of color and vintage details.
This fun dining room was created from dime store finds, repurposing hand-me-downs and creative use of fabric.
Agnes' window seat gets its closeup, showing more detail on her up-cycled pillow creations. Her decor doesn't have to "match" — it just has to be fun.
"Nothing heats as well or looks as cheery as copper pots and pans," Agnes says.
The chalkboard chair project was a fun, easy project. Simply paint an old stool with chalkboard paint.
For the master bedroom, Agnes wanted to keep nature as close as possible with light textiles and simple prints.
Blum tops her vintage French chest with shoes after a long day in the sun.
In a guest/play room, Blum uses a mid-century side table and mushroom stool as a desk for little ones.
The family is "bunk bedding it up" in preparation for Agnes and Justin's newest addition, due in the spring.
Agnes keep the children's bedroom interesting and kid-friendly with bright color and texture.
Another Knock Knocking wreath adorns a door.
Simple but fun artwork by Sarah Jane Studios — cards, string and clothespins— creates another garland for a childen's space.
A reading nook in the guest area caters to all ages. "I love vintage big-eyed art, and it was a bonus that this set came as a boy and a girl."
Warm yellow stripes and a jar of lemons brightens a bath.
With her Etsy business, Agnes is surrounded by yarn and textiles. Here she is able to use it for a garland and some "smile effect" in the guest room. "I always have extra yarn lying around, why not make something fun out of it?"
Gifted, thrifted and handmade, this apron collection adds color and pattern to a white room.
Agnes had to capture a little more Texan fun for her hallway areas, too. "Having fun at carnivals, rodeos and fairs is what Texas is all about in the summer," she says.
Candybouncer chairs add pop to the Blums' back porch. "I love vintage metal patio chairs, and was really exited to find out that the original creator of the very same vintage chairs was still in business making new ones every day," she says.
"We painted the door as cheery a blue as we could find to add a touch of color to the front of the home, and to reflect the bright Texas sky," Agnes says.

UK – Kill Shakespeare Tour
May 9, 2012 by Colin Solan

Press Release:
The creators of IDW Publishing's Kill Shakespeare comic book series look to court controversy this month by bringing their take on Shakespeare and his characters to the birth country of the Bard himself this month on a two-week signing and convention tour of England.
"Colonists" Conor McCreery and Anthony Del Col will be appearing at the Bristol Comic Expo as well as the Kapow! Comic Convention this month, along with a number of store signings in London, Manchester, Leeds and Stratford-upon-Avon. Series artist Andy Belanger will be joining the duo for the Kapow! Convention and a London signing. The trip to the U.K. is the final leg of their spring 2012 convention tour, which has seen them make appearances all over North America as well as at the Middle East Film & Comic-Con in Dubai last month.
To prepare for the tour IDW Publishing is proud to announce that they are releasing a fourth printing of KILL SHAKESPEARE VOLUME 1: A SEA OF TROUBLES. Originally released in April, 2010, this is the first half of the series that pits the Bard's greatest heroes against his most menacing villains in a quest to track down and kill – or save – a wizard by the name of William Shakespeare.
IDW is also proud to announce that Del Col and McCreery have received their second straight Joe Shuster Award nomination for Best Writing in a comic series. The duo is pitted against such talents as Jeff Lemire and Kathryn Immonen in the category.
"We're quite interested to see what people in England think of our take on the Bard," says McCreery. "We expect some nay-sayers but we're eager to show everyone that this project is just as vital a reflection of the Bard's work as anything coming out of the Globe Theatre or Stratford-on-Avon."
Kill Shakespeare has been in hot water before after Shakespearean scholar Kimberly Cox denounced the series as "bullshit" and said that "these guys really are helping to kill Shakespeare." However, the adventure series, which incorporates Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, Richard III, Lady Macbeth, Puck and others, has received high praise from media such as the New York Times, NPR, BBC, CBC and Fangoria. The series has also spawned a 90-minute stage show that debuted in association with Toronto's acclaimed Soulpepper Theatre company in November of 2011 and is scheduled to tour to various locations across North America this fall.
The current signing schedule includes:
Sat, May 12 – Sun, May 13 – Bristol Comic Expo
Wed, May 16 – Travelling Man (Manchester)
Thu, May 17 – Travelling Man (Leeds) with special guest Becky Cloonan
Fri, May 18 – Forbidden Planet London Megastore with special guests Becky Cloonan, Scott Snyder & more
Sat, May 19 – Sun, May 20 – Kapow! Comic Convention
Published by IDW Publishing, more information about the series can be found at www.killshakespeare.com. The graphic novel is available at all major comic and book stores and digitally through iTunes or ComiXology.

Kill Shakespeare Creators Appear at Boston Comic Con 2011

Press Release:
Fresh from celebrating the anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth and death with the first-ever theatrical presentation of their story, the creators of the IDW Publishing Kill Shakespeare comic book series appear at the 2011 Boston Comic Con this weekend to introduce details of their upcoming issues, recently-secured film development financing, and an exclusive digital promotion.
Co-creators Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery worked with Toronto's Soulpepper Theatre to present the first-ever live reading of Kill Shakespeare this past Saturday, April 23rd. Soulpepper, one of the top classic theatre companies in North America, elected to present the work on the 23rd as that day serves as the anniversary of both Shakespeare's birth and death. "It was incredible to see Kill Shakespeare come alive through the performance of Soulpepper's exceptional actors," says co-creator Anthony Del Col. "We have had numerous theatres in the U.S. express interest in doing a stage production of our epic tale and we were glad that it could happen on the Bard's birth/death day."
In addition, co-creators Del Col and McCreery also received notice late last week that they have received script development funding from The Harold Greenberg Fund. The Fund, which assists Canadian writers in the development of screenplays, is a very prestigious organization that has provided support to filmmakers such as David Cronenberg (The Fly, A History of Violence), Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter) and Vincenzo Natali (Splice) in past rounds. The project has received a great deal of interest from American and international film companies since the debut of its first issue last April.
The first ten issues of the series, described by the New York Times as "gripping, violent and dark fun", have been released to much acclaim and attention. The first trade paperback, released last November, is now in its second printing and Issue #10 was released April 20th. Co-created and co-written by McCreery and Del Col, the artwork is overseen by Andy Belanger.
"It's an exciting time for our series and I'm excited to appear at the Boston Comic Con this weekend," says Del Col. "With the theatrical and film initiatives, our story is expanding into new mediums and more people are getting excited about our take on Shakespeare." Del Col will be at the Comic Con all weekend along with series artist Andy Belanger.
About the series:
Kill Shakespeare is an adventure story that pits all of Shakespeare's greatest heroes (including Hamlet, Juliet, Falstaff, Othello, Puck) against the Bard's most menacing villains (including Richard III, Lady Macbeth, Iago) in a quest to track down and kill – or save – a reclusive wizard by the name of William Shakespeare. Called by Aint it Cool News as, "A great read", the series has been profiled by The New York Times, NPR, BBC, Wired.com, The Globe and Mail and The Washington Post. It also created controversy last year when Shakespearean scholar (and girlfriend of comics legend Frank Miller) Kimberly Cox railed against the title on popular U.K. comic blog BleedingCool.com, while others – such as Des McAnuff (Stratford Shakespeare Festival, Jersey Boys) are fans of it.
Both Del Col and Belanger will be available for interviews during Boston Comic Con.
More information about the series can be found at www.killshakespeare.com.
TO – Kill Shakespeare!
April 21, 2010 by Colin Solan
Filed under Canada, Comic Books, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Meet creators Connor McCreery, Anthony Del Col, Andy Belanger, and Kagan McLeod this Friday as they sign the brand-new first issue of their comic series KILL SHAKESPEARE, on the very anniversary of Shakespeare's birth…! All 4 of these fine gents will be on hand to sign, sketch, and talk about the bard (and their new book), because the entire creative team hails from right here in Toronto! (Though it is published by the fine folks at IDW in California).
Here's a little bit about the book:
"In this dark tale, the Bard's most famous heroes embark upon a journey to discover a long-lost soul. Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, Falstaff, Romeo and Puck search for a reclusive wizard who may have the ability to assist them in their battle against the evil forces led by the villains Richard III, Lady Macbeth and Iago. That reclusive wizard? William Shakespeare.
"A combination of Fables, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Lord of the Rings, Kill Shakespeare offers a remixed re-envisioning of the greatest characters of all-time, featuring action, romance, comedy, lust, drama and bloody violence. It is an adventure of Shakespearean proportions."
Come on our and support a neat project and some great folks!
