Another soothing cup of my favorite chai blend. It looks like I will soon be out of it. I've learned that when I experience a pang of fear at the thought of running out of a particular tea, that means the tea is one of my favorites.
223 Tasting Notes
Backlogging from Chicago trip:
One of the best teas I've ever had. The fragrance was perfect and simply inhaling the tea as it cooled brought pleasure to my senses. Drinking the tea was excellent as well. Even my beloved who thinks he hates teas loved this one.
A note on the tea shop: It was excellent. The proprietor is knowledgeable and very helpful. It is a great sadness to me that I couldn't spend more time there.
Backlogging from the trip to Chicago
Made with black tea and soy.
Totally uninspiring. It was a boring black tea with an unimpressive soy milk. Probably won't go there again.
Fragrance of cloves and a note of apples. It tastes primarily of cloves but there is a sweet mixture of tastes below that strong note of cloves. It is, overall, an average chai. I like it but there are chais I love. This one may improve by being prepared in the traditional way: simmering in milk or by being steeped longer.
It has a strong, odd smell and brews up very dark, almost coffee-level black. The taste is strong with multiple notes of cocoa, malt, and leather. It's not really one of my favorites (I never really like teas that have a fragrance or taste of leather), but I can see that it is a good quality tea.
Adagio Teas included this as a free sample and I've tried hard to like it. It seems almost disloyal to Libras everywhere to dislike it this much. But it is truly not for me. It tastes artificial and cloying to me. It reminds me of when I was 13 and ate my lip gloss because it smelled like strawberries. The lip gloss also had this strange, artificial, somewhat bitter taste.
It has a slight smokiness but it's a good basic English Breakfast blend, strong enough to get me going in the morning.
Good-bye pretty, delicious Sinharaja. I will miss you and wait with bated breath for the next delivery. All out for now. :(
My box of tea samples from Adagio came today. The samples are all in tiny tins! It is very cute, but I'm not sure what I will do with so many little tins once I've finished the tea.
This Decaf Tropics has an excellent flavor and fragrance that makes me think of sunny days on a beach sipping a drink with an umbrella in it. The fragrance is true to the flavor.
The black tea base is ok. It isn't Lipton, but it isn't up to the grade of my favorite black teas either. It has more tannins than I like and a slight bitterness. Also it doesn't have much complexity. (On the other hand, it's better than most grocery store tea. However, I've been getting spoiled with the great black teas I've been trying.) I steeped it for 4 minutes. Next time I'll try 3 minutes and see if that improves it.
Despite my slight disappointment with the black tea, the adept hand Adagio has with the flavoring makes up for the dull tea. It is pleasant to drink and a good bedtime tea. I look forward to trying the rest of the samples.
Sometimes one just needs a stern tea. Pu-Erh Chai is that for me. I like the strong black liquid, the spices and the salty, musky taste combined with the strong black tea. It helps me get up and do what must be done.
I felt like a tea that smiles back this morning and Mango Tango is it. It has a fresh fruity smell and taste (but it is not excessively flavored or excessively sweet). The black tea is mellow in the right way and blends very well with the mango and passionfruit. It's all smooth, rounded edges. Nothing sharp. Just a happy tea for a happy morning.
I'm nearly at the end of the Sinharaja. I've ordered a much larger supply this time. It is so good!
I love this tea. I drank a few cups today and was pleased to note that the second steeping was also quite nice. The leaves are also pretty both wet and dry.
Beautiful pale green tea with a delightful fragrance of roasted rice. It has a light vegetal taste that invites small slow sips as one inhales the almost coffee-like toasty fragrance. Very soothing.
A slightly cloudy green-tan liquid with the hypnotic smell of rose petals. Despite its sweetness it has a slight bitterness that is unpleasant. I think the bitterness is actually coming from the rose petals rather than the tea. The tea itself is submerged under the rose petal taste. Not one of my favorites.
Pretty pale green color. Slight smell of turpentine but it tastes ok.
Developed more turpentine as it cooled.
I know. Today was supposed to be Oolong Day. I was supposed to sit and experiment with steep times and temperatures of the various oolong teas. It was supposed to be a sophisticated, elegant day. I'd even though of planning our trip to the Art Institute of Chicago as I sipped.
What happened? We decided that today would be a good day for a hike and geocaching adventure through a swamp. That's what happened. My beloved said, "Don't worry. It's been cold enough to kill off the mosquitos. Besides, it's mid-October there won't be any mosquitos."
No mosquitos, hah! I am covered from head to toe in little itchy bites. I don't want to appreciate my tea while reviewing artistic possibilities. I want my tea to appreciate and love me. If it could kiss my mosquito bites and make them better, that would be ideal.
Since it is really just tea and can't do any mosquito-bite aftercare, I'm doing my best to make it comforting. I've simmered it in soy milk with a small amount of sugar. It is a real chai instead of my normal steep and add creamer style.It is worth it. It smells warm, creamy, spicy, and sweet. It smells like it wants my mosquito bites kissed. Made this way the cardamon comes into its own with a sweet fruity smell. The cinnamon makes it taste like a cookie, the perfect emotional salve. And the taste? Divine! Each layer of cocoa, cardamon, tea, and cinnamon takes over my palate briefly revealing depths within and then retreats for the next flavor star.
This is my very favorite black tea. It is very difficult to over-steep and doesn't get bitter and it is very low in tannins. It has lovely chocolate and carmel notes with a slight toastiness. It is definitely a comfort tea for me.
I started out with this tea this morning. It turns out that I was over-steeping it and the water was too hot previously. Today it was light and grassy with a slight nuttiness. A pleasant experience overall.
When I first tried this tea I thought I liked it and I ordered a canister of it. Since getting the canister I've found that I don't like it as much as I thought. It may be that I am over-steeping it but it has a strange taste to me.
Typically I like green teas, white teas, yellow teas, and black teas but haven't much cared for oolongs. On the other hand, I love Golden Moon's Coconut Pouchong tea, which is also an Oolong. So I'm not certain what is up with me.
Fortunately, I have more of the Sugar Caramel Oolong and can experiment with steep times and temperatures.
This one has beautiful long slender leaves that tangle together and produce a coppery broth with fragrance notes of mint and a light spice. It has a strong tea taste with some tannins but no bitterness. Overall, it is one my favorites of the blacks I've tried.
It sounded so wonderful in the description but it is disappointing in person. The tea is harsh and, while the spices are fragrant in the bag, their flavor rapidly falls away once the hot water is poured upon the leaves.
It must get dull to see me drink chai agni night after night. It really feels like the perfect evening quaff to me, though. It is warming, sweet, dark, and homey.
It's a "be brave" day. I'm trying pu-erh again. This time it's the cute looking little tuo cha nests. I have followed the directions rigorously. I've boiled my water to 212 degrees. I rinsed it in boiling water then steeped it for six minutes.
The pu-erh tea is thick and black. It smells of leather and grass with a slight sweetness. I added creamer to it as I do to all of my black teas. It isn't too bad, which is not to say that it is all that good either. Still, it doesn't smell or taste like dung, which is my previous pu-erh benchmark. There is a slight saltiness and the leather smell carries through to the taste. It still turns my stomach over, though.
I think this is a pretty definitive test. I am a failure at pu-erh appreciation. Does anyone want the rest of the pu-erh sample?

Orange Reading
Found In: Parts of the Seder
Tags: orange
By Aggie Goldenholz and Susan Pittelman | Ritual Component
And, there are those who add: The orange carries within itself the seeds of its own rebirth. When we went forth from the Narrow Place, Mitzrayim (Egypt), the Jewish people passed through a narrow birth canal and broke the waters of the Red Sea. As we women step forward to claim our full role in Judaism, we too can be full participants in a Jewish rebirth. Our place in Judaism will be as visible as the orange on our Seder plate.
And thus we were born into the world. The wisdom of women who were midwives, like Shifra and Puah, made that birth possible.

What You Need to Know to Lose Belly Fat
How to Lose Belly Fat
The first time it happened I was in my early twenties, straphanging in a crowded New York City subway car on my way to work. I was wearing a slim-fitting T-shirt dress, one that for reasons that will soon become horrifyingly clear, I subsequently used to scrub out the litter box and then tossed. The seated woman I was standing in front of met my eyes and smiled. Then she stood up. I smiled back and stepped to the side so she could make her way to the door. She stood right next to me.
"Would you like to sit?" she asked kindly. "I remember how tired I was during my pregnancy. You look like you're into your second trimester; it gets easier."
If I had been pregnant, her act of generosity would probably have sent me into early labor right there on the F train.
But I wasn't. (Even so, I took the seat.)
Once in a while I'm still offered a seat on the train, thanks to a belly that seems to always enter a room a split second before the rest of me does.
Tummy TroubleEvery woman's got her own hang-ups about some body flaw, but flabby abs seem to be a universal sore spot. In a recent FITNESS poll, they ranked number one on the list of trouble zones women wanted fixed. Not only has my apple-shaped middle been a preoccupation of mine since I was a tween, it's also been the subject of articles I've written (like this one) and the object of literally hundreds of attempts on my part to accept and/or flatten it. It was only after having twins that I pretty much resigned myself to the fact that my belly was jelly for good.
So when my editor at FITNESS read on my blog that I thought my abs were permanently "stretched out" and I'd abandoned the abs DVDs she'd given me, she asked if I wanted to take a more scientific approach. I thought, sure. Lord knows, endless crunches haven't gotten me far. She set me up with an appointment at the renowned Women's Sports Medicine Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, where I would get an ultrasound and find out what's really going on with my middle.
I was all over the idea of getting a scan. I strongly suspected I had what many women who have been pregnant have, diastasis recti, or separated abdominal muscles. That wouldn't explain why I've always had a pooch, but it could partially explain why I had one now. "Diastasis recti occurs when the abdominal muscles separate along the midline because of an enlarging uterus," says Virginia Lupo, MD, chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. "It's unrelated to whether or not the muscles are strong." That means it makes no difference if your abs are made of steel or mush; the chance that they'll pull apart depends on the strength of the connective tissue that fuses them. In a study of women not long after they had given birth, 68 percent had the condition above their navel and 32 percent below. (Deep breath: Most women's abs will move back together again naturally after a while even if we don't rush to Pilates class the minute we get the okay to exercise.) The more pregnancies a woman has had, the more likely she is to have diastasis recti. I've had only one pregnancy, but it was a double, so the odds were good that this was part of my problem.

Home Citizens Against Ugly Street Spam
Saw an enormous amount of Gabbert's "going out of business" signs today (Saturday) in Flower Mound & Lewisville. No time to get them, sorry. It appears to be the standard furniture store spamming package done by out-of-town liquidators. Every major intersection has three signs on every corner, and some in the medians too. Coroplast signs on black metal "tined" stakes. No doubt they'll be removing them tomorrow before CE gets to work on Monday.I'm sure the signs are everywhere, but I was just driving along FM2499 and FM1171 today. If they're in Dallas, it will be interesting to see if Dallas actually goes after Gabbert's, seeing all the hoopla that Dallas did about yanking thousands of signs recently (and promising big fines in the future).email@example.com
Gabberts is physicaly located in Farmers Branch. They were warned by Farmers Branch and Carrollton some four or five weeks ago when it was first announced they were closing.They tried posting the signs in FB and Carrollton on several weekends, along the major thorough fares, but the signs disappeared almost immediately on consecetive weekends.We think they may have taken the hint as far as FB and Carrollton are concerned. Addison won't tolerate the signs for a minute. Plano is somewhat out of their range, Dallas doens't fit into their marketing regime for that area.Best thing you can do is get them before the early morning Saturday or Sunday morning traffic. Good Luck

2002 Honda Civic Repair Question
Mileage: 137,000 miles.
Electrical probs have eluded diagnosis - 5-spd EX
Last year, similar situation: hot day long trip, arrived at destination, visited with friends, went back out to car a few minutes later and it was dead.
Recently, yellow check engine light has come on intermittently, but garages (two) haven't been able to figure out what is going on. One garage was able to identify code p1259, but said that it was a red herring. And - the cruise control is cutting out occasionally on the highway. Sometimes it will allow me to set it again immediately; other times, I just drive without it.
BTW - the same garage that told me I was hitting the radio dial and not knowing it also advised that the yellow light on the dash was on because I needed more oil (I though the red oil lamp was for that?) and that was what was causing the cruise control to cut out. However, since the oil change a few days ago, the cruise control is still cutting out.
the red light is for low oil pressure, not low oil level.
it sounds like you have ground issues with the dash and the body.
you really need a good electrical shop that can track this issue down for you. i doubt all those systems would fail at the same time.
The cruise control cutting out could be due to the pedal switches out of adjustment, both for the brake and clutch. They tend to get out of adjustment when the stopper deteriorates or wears off.
P1259 is a fault with the VTEC system and it could be due to low oil level.
Roy is correct about ground circuit issues. This model is known to have charging issues with the alternator when the ground for it is poor. It could be inermittent and charging is also controlled by the PCM so that is something you might nee to look at, at least its grounding circuit.

Kyle Hines named SoCon Men's Basketball Player of the Month
SPARTANBURG, SC – UNC Greensboro junior forward Kyle Hines was named the Southern Conference's Men's Basketball Player of the Month for December on Thursday.
Hines, an All-American candidate from Sicklerville, NJ, averaged 22.4 points, 11.8 rebounds and more than two blocks per game in UNCG's five games last month. He shot 55 percent from the floor and topped the 20-point mark in three of the five games. Among those three games, he had a 30-point night against Davidson to go along with five blocks, the 16th time in his career that Hines recorded five or more blocks in a game.
It is third Player of the Month award Hines has received in his career out of eight possible thus far. He also earned the award in January each of the last two seasons.
Hines currently leads the Southern Conference in scoring (21.5 ppg), rebounding (9.9 rpg) and blocked shots (2.4 bpg). He has seven double-doubles already this season and currently has a 36-game streak of scoring in double figures. With 21 points in Wednesday's loss at Virginia Tech, Hines moved into eighth place on the UNCG career scoring list. He is also fourth all-time at UNCG in rebounding and is the school's leader in blocked shots.
UNCG (7-9) hosts Chattanooga at Fleming Gym on Saturday night. Tip off is set for 7 pm.

But, because Formspring has a character limit and we're wildly optimistic w/r/t our time-management skills, we thought we'd go one further and let you use our ASS private messaging to share advice-related feelings, too.
For more info on sending in questions, see the bottom of this post. Let's get down to bossing people around on the internet! Today we help you deal with STDs, your perfect boobs and how to still be You when you are part of a We. Images for today's post are mostly random because what kind of pictures go best with HPV and boob talk?? Exactly.
Laneia, I just found out I have HPV - one of the potentially cancer-causing strains. Now I feel like I can't sleep with/date anyone until it clears up/maybe ever, because what if I give a girl cancer inadvertently? Who would even want me now?
Hello person person. You are not a walking STD. Does it feel like you are? You're not. You're a person. You are, in fact, a person not entirely unlike 20 million other people in the United States who currently have HPV, along with the other 6 million who'll be diagnosed with HPV this year. I'm not saying that 26 million people having the same STD should make you happy, but it's always nice to know that you're not alone.
I called Planned Parenthood for you because I was going to say, "Hello, I would like to speak to a nurse person who can tell me whether or not a girl can get HPV from finger fucking another girl who has HPV. Thank you yes I'll hold." But my plan was thwarted when the only options were to either press one to make an appointment or press two to talk to someone in Admin. So! After combing through quite a few threads from teenage boys on Yahoo Answers and reading some really boring repetitive jargon on medical sites who don't care that we're gay, I finally found something that I think is as definitive as I'm going to get on the internet, from About.com. At the very least I think About.com was like, the 3rd website to register on the internet, so maybe it can be looked at as a reliable source?
Here's how HPV makes its rounds from one girl to another:
genital-to-genital contact
touching the genitals of a partner and then your own
sharing sex toys without cleaning them properly first
Mkay that's pretty standard stuff, yeah? So you skip scissoring, no one touches themselves or anyone else until hands have been thoroughly washed, and all the sex toys get scrubbed before each person uses them. These things are not a big deal. This is actually how a lot of people who don't have STDs have sex, just because they want to! Isn't that neat? There's nothing about mouth-to-vag contact, which is worrying w/r/t the accuracy of this article, but I hope it goes without saying that you'd need to use a barrier of some sort.
When we talk about safe sex, we always tell you about gloves, dams, sliced up condoms and washing your toys, so it's not like these practices are totally out of left field. People do actually have sex like this -- with barriers and caution -- and it's not weird. Also? It's a lot better than having no sex at all.
What I'm saying is, your life/sex life isn't over.
As you mentioned, sometimes (most of the time?) HPV can go away on its own. I don't know how this happens and it makes very little sense to my small brain, but I'm not going to argue with science and good news. Not today, my friend.
But please please, the thing I want you keep in your back pocket forever is that you're YOU. You're not HPV or any other STD. You're not just a girl or just an age or a race or a gender and you're certainly not going to be defined by a fucking virus. I won't let you.
This quote from Manifesta is about Jennifer Baumgardner's experience with herpes, which is admittedly different from your situation, but the point is important:
I'm really open about having herpes -- partly because I want to demystify the disease, but also because I refuse to be ashamed by it. Although giving the herpes speech to a new squeeze always makes me feel completely unsexy, I have never had anyone react badly.
So there. Who would even want you now? Plenty of people. The same people who wanted you before. Also new people. People have sex with people who have STDs! They really truly do. You are not a vagina hole wrapped in a torso topped with a head. You're a person. And if someone is ignorant enough to think that you having HPV makes you 'dirty' or inherently unfuckable, she's too stupid for you to sleep with in the first place.
I've stopped being myself and I am just her girlfriend now. How I feel about myself is in direct correlation to how much affection or attention she pays me. She loves me but she isn't dependent on me. I feel like when I'm not with her I don't exist.
Yeah this situation really sucks. I bet it sucks for both of you. Your girlfriend isn't dependent on you because you're so dependent on her, which sort of only leaves her with the option of being the one who is depended on. You have to get out of the house. I don't know how frequently you get out of your house now, but however often it is, double it. Go to new places and do new things and do them without her.
I realize this is easier said than done, but you can start small and work your way up to the more challenging challenges. The idea is to find pleasure / affirmation / validation from (positive) sources other than your girlfriend -- like, yourself! -- so you can see that the world does in fact need and appreciate you in very specific ways. I feel like if you're proud of yourself, you probably won't rely so heavily on her existence to define you. I mean, you were you before you even met her, so you've already proven that you can be a person without her, you know?
Ok so, starting small:
1. This will maybe seem hokey or basic, but think back to a time when you were super happy and independent. For me this was age 14 -- I was inordinately in tune with my true self that year. I'd found Liz Phair and started reading better books, so I was basically unstoppable. Whenever I feel misdirected or like a total loser, I think about the 8th grade version of me and what I can learn from her. For example, my 8th grade self has previously taught me not to think twice about trying new things (via that time in study hall when I colored streaks of my hair using blue and red Sharpies with great results) and that I really enjoy cooking, which I forget sometimes. Keeping these things in mind is like keeping myself intact. So think back to the version of you who was having more fun and didn't need anyone's approval, and see what you can learn from her.
2. Make a list of all of things you want or want to do and begin doing them. I mean, what kind of person do you want to be? Because you can be that person, you just have to do the things that person does. This is where inertia could kick your ass, but you're not going to let it. I think teaching yourself how to knit or make soap -- anything that yields a physical result you can be proud of -- would be a good way to kickstart things. Then you can be all, "I made soap today motherf*cker, what now?" And the world will be like, "NICE WORK." If you can make soap you can probably do anything. You can be king.
I feel like this is the cheesiest advice I've ever given anyone? Like it could be an ad campaign for Avon or something, but also I stand firmly behind it. I've been in your shoes and the only thing that got me out of that cycle was realizing that the most important person I needed to impress was me.
I feel so bad. I recently lost some excess weight, which I needed to and I did safely through exercising. But I'm left with flat and saggy boobs. I'm seeing my girlfriend again who has been gone for 6 weeks on a business trip. I'm so insecure about the way my breasts look I am dreading sleeping with her again. I don't know how I can fix this in my head. Do I just act confident about the fact I have grandma tits and no grandchildren?
I'm putting this here because I want like 800 people to tell you how much you don't need to worry about the sag/perk of your boobs. It's hard to wrap your head around it -- I know because I also don't like my boobs and can't imagine how anyone else does -- but your boobs are hot due in large part to the fact that they're boobs, period.
But a lot of girls I know feel less than confident about their boobs. Even though we all understand -- probably you included -- on a logical level that we only hate our bodies because of the patriarchy, and that it's a stupid waste of time to even worry about what our breasts look like when we have brains to work on, we're still sorta consumed with feeling like they don't meet some imaginary standard. And I feel like there's nothing I can say to dismantle that worry that you haven't already heard before. You just have to internalize the fact that your body is normal and good. You know? Just POOF internalize it.
A friend who's had the same experience as you -- losing weight, losing cup sizes, worrying about her girlfriend's reaction -- talked to me about it, and I thought what she said was important so I've copy/pasted it for you here:
It's confusing to lose weight and get healthier and yet STILL have body issues. You think it'll solve all your problems, but it doesn't. You have to learn love your body no matter its current geometric configuration. It took a while to come to terms that a person could love me and not a specific body part. My girlfriend loved my boobs because they were attached to this person that is me. Any other boobs on me are fine with her.
See that's very smart. You have to think that way. Also, we're all just people, ok? Bodies are weird and different and special and great, but it's not like you had some say in what your boobs would ever look like. You don't have these boobs because you couldn't afford the expensive ones so you had to buy the cheaper boobs, or because you didn't get your Master's in Boobology and these are just your community college boobs. It's not like it was a choice on your part, so there's no reason for you to feel apologetic or inferior. These are your boobs! I'm clapping for you now. Boobs! Your girlfriend's coming back and you get to take your shirt off in front of her! Isn't life just the greatest?

INDBUILT gave to Fritz LoungeBars & Clubs in BostonLounge or Cold Chest ...Found the patrons a little friendly, after I started the conversations. The staff needed a few lessons in courtesy and hospitality ... very `offish`, and somewhat stuck on themselves ... who knows why ... Although I live close compared to many clubs I go to in my travels, I will probably not return, only if by chance I hear the staff, and place has changed hands or has had a great overhauling of attitude.
Bars & Clubs in BostonCould use some improvement for sure ...After visiting some Eagle bars, as most towns have them, I found that Boston was a shocking Eagle`s representation. The bar was not in usually Eagle`s decorum. I am usually very fair with reviews and only take account of what I see personally. Eagles Boston needs to be cleaned up, shaped up and decorated. Leather is great, but who wants dirty and dingy ... just my opinion ... I will probably go back again, as I am a great Eagle bar fan in general, but this one is lacking ... hopefully the next time you will blow my jock off with the changes!!!
Bars & Clubs in BostonSumwhat nice, but could use some help perhaps.I believe Dbar is an ok place to go with a friend or a special someone. VERY unfriendly staff we found, and perhaps not the greatest attitudes. We were treated ok, but the staff did not extend themselves at all, and seemed in their own world. Perhaps an off night, or they thought we were not Upper Clientele ... of course we didn`t take our IRS recipts ... haha. Would go back and visit again ... things can always change.
Bars & Clubs in MontrealGreat time, and AWESOME GUYS!!!Having travelled to many countries and seeing many performers, I have to say the Guys at Campus are top notch, polite and non agressive, but make you want them!!! From shy winks and flirty gestures to serious chat and open affection, these guys are either very well trained, or they are picked by an awesome screener. I would not hesitate to recommend this club to any of my friends or associates. I visited purposely in early afternoon and late night with a friend from San Francisco and the atmosphere was always accomadating, polite, genuine care, and of course sexy as hell! My friend said, `if only bars were this sexy in San Francisco`. Private dances were fun, and VERY accomidating for me. Of course we all have our favs. and I have to say there is one that I want to mention, as he stood from the rest to me, and HE WAS HOT!!! If any of you reading this know the place well, his stagename even rhymes with HOT ... LOL. Off course, I will be back ... Scott the Hottie!!!
Bars & Clubs in MontrealComfortable Sums it...Visiting Stock Bar for the first time was a pleasant experience. Did not leave excited, or elated, but had a good time. The Bartender-Host-Waiter was a treat!!! He was more affectionate, caring, and displayed more genuine hospitality than the dancers in our opinion. I believe his name was Rob or Rod ... he would be a good trainer for the others in my opinion. A friend from California was visiting with me, and he was not impressed. I feel overall, the music was good, the crowd was pleasant and excited, the establishment was clean, neat and well appointed ... special koodos to the decorator. To sum this rating up ... Great Waiter and cute as a tiger! ... for the rest, you will have to check it out yourself. I wil check it out again ... every one and every place needs a second chance, unless it is hopeless ... BTW ... the dancers were hot and built, just couldn`t put their cell phones away long enough on the floor to entertain guests.
INDBUILT gave to JPs [CLOSED]Bars & Clubs in MontrealThere and gone ...Visiting JPs this past week we found it quite in need of a boost!!! On entering there was no hosting, not welcome, or even a nod to recognize we had come to be a patron. Staying a short time and receiving no hospitality we left and moved on to Campus where they were soooo accomidating ... the Canadians we all have heard about. Will return again perhaps in the Summer to Montreal, and perhaps there will be a welcoming committee or at least a dancer who is a bit friendly at JPs, but until then best wishes for your establishment.

To sit, stand and fold. A versatile table range.
cross is a table system which can be arranged in many ways to create a stylish look for canteens or cafeterias.
Design: LSS designer
From rectangular tables with flat plinths to pedestal tables with flat steel cross feet – cross is a complete range with a functional design for maximum flexibility. It also has space for lots of diners: the pedestal table can be fitted with table tops up to 150 cm in diameter, seating up to eight people.
The classic pedestal table cross and the innovative folding table cross.flip – both bar tables are extremely sturdy and versatile. Because a good bar table always comes in handy, cross.flip is particularly flexible: with its three specially positioned legs, it is quick to set up and dismantle, requires little storage space and is easy to use day in, day out. Thanks to the castor option, it is even easy to transport.

What is in this article?:
- Health care views cause clash between restaurant companies, franchisees
- Changing the message
Restaurant operators consider various options to deal with possible increased costs, some of which have created tension between brand executives and the franchise operators
Schisms are appearing between franchisors and franchisees as restaurant operators become more vocal with their views on the looming health care act after presidential election results took its possible repeal off the table.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act impacts the restaurant industry more than most, said Chris O'Cull, senior restaurant analyst with KeyBanc Capital Markets, in a report last week. "Restaurants have a disadvantage to non-service businesses when it comes to penalties because of the high number of part-time and low-wage employees," he said.
As a result, restaurant operators have begun to consider various options to deal with possible increased costs associated with the act, some of which have created tension between brand executives and the franchise operators.
• How foodservice fared on local ballot measures
• Restaurants to mitigate health care costs by cutting hours
• More government news
Immediately after the general election, Zane Tankel, chairman and chief executive of Apple-Metro, a 40-unit Applebee franchisee for the New York City area, appeared on Fox television and said the Affordable Care Act would cost his company millions of dollars, and he hinted that it would stifle expansion and reduce hiring.
Mike Archer, president of Applebee's, followed up with a statement from the corporation, saying: "Because final regulations and guidance are still pending from government agencies regarding the Affordable Care Act, exactly how our franchisees will implement the law when it takes effect in 2014 is still uncertain.
"However, we do know that our franchisees will comply fully with the law and take every measure possible to continue doing right by their employees," Archer continued.
The Affordable Care contretemps at Applebee's was echoed at Denny's, as well. Last week, John Metz of RREMC Restaurants LLC of West Palm Beach, Fla., which operates Denny's and Dairy Queen franchises, told the Huffington Post that he was considering adding a 5-percent surcharge to checks and letting guests decide whether to reduce the waiter tips by that amount.
In reaction to the comments from Metz, John Miller, Denny's chief executive, put wide distance between the corporation and the franchisee in a statement issued late on Friday.
"While we respect the decision of an independent business owner to speak out on this or other topics and express their personal views," Miller said, "his statements do not capture the respect by Denny's, the Denny's Franchisee Association or our franchise community at large for our hardworking employees or for our valued customers."
Miller also acknowledged that the Florida franchisee's stance could be confused with the entire system. "Unfortunately, the comments of this franchisee, who represents less than 1 percent of our system and who owns restaurants in other concepts, has been portrayed as reflective of the entire Denny's brand," Miller said.
Then on Monday, Metz issued a retraction. "We regret that the statements we made may have been interpreted as representative of the Denny's brand or of other franchisees, which they are not," he said in a statement.
"Our stores do not have a 5-percent surcharge," Metz continued. "Despite recent media coverage, RREMC Restaurants is committed to exploring viable and effective ways to deal with the changing economic climate, including the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. We have always been and will continue to be 100-percent dedicated to our employees and customers and will work tirelessly to find solutions that are in their best interests. It is our intention is to fully comply with the law."
His public relations firm said Metz would not give any more interviews.

Interview: Falon Nameplates's Kenneth More in conversation with Output
What do you think?
By Morwenna Kearns
25 May 2012
Falon Nameplates has been producing cast metal signs and plaques since 1952
Output's managing editor Morwenna Kearns ran into Kenneth More, managing director at Northumberland-based Falon Nameplates, at last week's Museums and Heritage Show in London, where they talked about the 60-year-old cast metal sign company and how it's faring in 2012.
Falon Nameplates is marking its 60th anniversary this year. How will you be celebrating? And what advice can you offer to new businesses hoping to achieve that longevity?
As our products are memorials our celebrations are always a little subdued, but we have had a staff tea party (with sunshine in April). My advice on longevity is to keep going and never stop, a bit like the hamster in the wheel. Never say never to a client, but always be honest and tell them the truth; even if you lose that order, they will thank you for your honesty and they will know they got a straight answer from you. Honesty pays in the long run.
Some of your products now feature QR codes. How does a more traditional sign company keep up with contemporary trends? Do you have any other plans in the pipeline?
We are always looking at what's new and what we can introduce to our existing products – is there a demand for it? Would our clients benefit from it? We have no new plans yet, as we are still working and marketing the QR codes onto cast metal signs.
Much of your output relies on metal; have you been affected by metal thefts?
We have had a few clients losing castings, but it has been minimal as memorials still have, at the moment, taboo status when it comes to the thieves. We are researching various products to help protect and secure our cast metal products.
What do you think are the benefits of exhibiting at events such as the Museums and Heritage Show rather than a specific sign-orientated trade shows?
Visitors get to see our products and can visualise them within their own premises or buildings. We are selling to the end user, not other sign producers, which we do in a large way now. But talking with people who have a need for your unusual products is great and very interesting for us.
What equipment do you use and are you looking to invest in new kit?
Our manufacturing processes go back thousands of years: all we need is sand, patterns and a furnace. Some new 3D engraving machines have given us the facilities to produce 3D castings, coats of arms, Braille and even buildings and faces. At present we are on the edge with regards to new technology for our foundry, but we are always on the look-out for what is new and different and could we use it to enhance our products.

I hope the folks in this town were OK, but the amazing thing to me is no one in the office building gave a "heads up" to their fellow employees that THEY HAD BETTER MOVE THEIR DAMN CARS. They clearly had enough time to park their cars on the other side of the building.

My Neices husband flew back to Brisbane last Sunday. She's still here with their son till Saturday.
He's in their apartment. 5th floor. Can't get to work (flooded), no electricity, but he had the presence of mind to buy 4 big bags of ice to keep the freezer and fridge going for a bit. He's got gas for the balcony barbecue, and he's going to stay put. Their new house is up high on a hill, and is quite safe, thank goodness.
He said via the phone yesterday that he saw the ferry wharf go floating past. - January 12, 2011 at 1:50 AM

I couldn't figure out what that guy was doing. Puncturing the tires? Wheel locks?
- January 12, 2011 at 6:56 AM
I'm wondering if he's got manual four wheel drive that you have to engage? The question I really have is this: When the water is rising a couple inches a minute, and your car is about to get swept away (possibly with you in it), and you're fiddling with your wheels, why in God's name are you prancing around with one hand holding a brolly?!?!?

Fine Jewelry
Keshi Pearl Blossom Necklace
of 2
This beautiful necklace blossom designed by Russell Trusso is made with freshwater Keshi pearls and a total of 0.30 carat diamonds. The necklace is a combination of 14 and 18-karat gold and is 16" long. The necklace can be extended to 18" at no charge upon request. Matching earrings are also available.
Russell Trusso's romantic designs conjure flowers out of pearls, crystal and gemstones. From ethereal drifts of blossoms to the drama of a single bloom, each handcrafted piece is unique. Freshwater cultured pearls with diamonds, 14 and 18-karat gold.
Dr. Russell Trusso has always had a prescription for success. The highly acclaimed Cleveland, Ohio jewelry designer spent much of his adult life in medicine and simultaneously in fashion design. When not engaged in medical pursuits, he was turning heads in the world of couture. He retired from medicine in 1990 and turned to fine jewelry design to enhance his couture collection.
A rising star in the jewelry industry, his sophisticated one-of-a-kind pieces made of the finest materials are soft and romantic. Russell is a relative newcomer in to the jewelry industry who is pushing the boundaries of jewelry design with breakthrough technologies and a creative energy that doesn't quit. His large floral pieces with petals of carved gemstones, nuanced enamel, or uniquely shaped pearls and embedded gemstones, are entirely original. They are cutting edge, but with no trace of the hard modernist edge that the phrase might imply. In fact, the technologies he has invented only serve to make his creations all the more delicate and feminine. They are romantic and it's difficult to use any word to describe them other than "beautiful."
Collectors of Russell's fine jewelry include Oprah Winfrey and Bette Midler. We find his jewelry designs to be fresh and unique and ....well, "beautiful". This kind, generous and very talented artist has a very brilliant future as a fine jeweler.

IBM Speeds Up XIV Storage System Gen3 With SSD Caching
IBM Speeds Up XIV Storage System Gen3 With SSD Caching

IBM announced enhancements to its XIV Storage System Gen3, including a new performance-boosting solid-state-drive (SSD) caching option, and a new app to monitor their XIV storage from their iPhone.
IBM has announced several enhancements to its XIV Storage System Gen3, including a new solid-state-drive (SSD) caching option that can increase system performance by up to three times, and a new Apple iPhone app that lets users monitor their XIV storage environment from virtually anywhere. The IBM XIV SSD Caching option provides up to 6TB of fast-read SSD and is the latest in a series of advances that IBM has developed for the enterprise storage system over the last six months.
In July, IBM introduced the XIV Storage System Gen3, a new generation of the storage family that dramatically lowered the total cost of ownership and improved system performance by four times over the previous model. With XIV Gen3, IBM also replaced the systems Ethernet-based backplane with a high-performance InfiniBand backplane that increased the systems internal bandwidth between modules by 40 times. Then, in October 2011, IBM added 3TB disk drives to the system, increasing system capacity by 50 percent.
IBM officials explained that with SSD caching, the most frequently used data is stored on solid-state memory placed between the system memory and hard drives, IBM said. Because SSDs use no spinning disks and robotic arms, the storing and retrieving of data is accomplished with virtually no latency, speeding data access by orders of magnitude. In addition to the superior performance, SSD cache requires no separate tier to manage. These latest updates to XIV Gen3 are a great example of IBMs continued commitment to helping customers achieve business outcomes through smarter storage technologies, said Doug Balog, vice president and business line executive for IBM Storage Systems, in a statement. It comes down to saving customers time and money with extremely efficient, easily managed, virtualized, and high-performing storage systems like XIV Gen3. In addition to IBM XIV SSD Caching, IBM announced the ability to mirror data between previous versions of XIV and XIV Gen3 systems, which will ease data migration and help give customers the flexibility to repurpose their XIV models as disaster recovery backup systems, the company said. Meanwhile, building on XIV Gen3s remote monitoring capabilities, IBM also announced the XIV Mobile Dashboard for the Apple iPhone, which enables users to monitor XIV systems from virtually anywhere. The app will be available for download at no cost later this month from the Apple Online Store. In October 2011, IBM released the XIV Mobile Dashboard for the Apple iPad. IBM also announced an update to its Linear Tape File System (LTFS) Library Edition. LTFS Library Edition Version 1.2.5 supports Mac OS X and lets users of the operating system create, manage and optimize video workflows using LTO-5 based tape libraries. In addition to increasing the performance of its storage systems, IBM is making them more affordable, as well, company officials said. Credit-qualified clients can acquire IBM's new Storage Systems with monthly payments with financing from IBM Global Financing, the lending and leasing arm of IBM. Low-rate leasing programs allow clients to preserve up-front cost and plan for mid-lease upgrades as requirements change. For more information,

I'm dealing with 2 dimensional arrays and i couldn't figure out how to do this:
for example assume we have a 4x4 matrix, and there is a predefined number k(which is between 0 and 128).well let's declare the array as a[i][j]. for example if the value of a[i][j]>k and if the neigbors of a[i][j]<=k,it will count 1.
but when a[i][j]>k , if one or more of a[i][j]'s neigbors is also bigger than k ,it will also count 1. I mean,for example if a[0][0]>k,a[0][1]>k and a[1][1]>k this whole 3 cell count as 1.
how can i make this?
16Apr2009,11:50 | #2 |
#include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> #define nRow 10 #define nCol 10 int main() { int mat[nRow][nCol]; int i=0,j=0,k=34,nCount=0; for(i=0;i<nRow;++i) { for(j=0;j<nCol;++j) { mat[i][j] = rand()%128; printf("%d ",mat[i][j]); } printf("\n"); } for(i=0;i<nRow;++i) { for(j=0;j<nCol;++j) { if( (i+1) < nRow && (j+1) <nCol ) { if( mat[i][j]>k && ((mat[i+1][j]>=k && mat[i][j+1]>=k) || (mat[i+1][j]<k && mat[i][j+1]<k))) ++nCount; } } } printf("%d\n",nCount); return 0; } |
16Apr2009,12:28 | #3 |
As I often say, try doing it yourself on paper. Write out (with the computer's help if necessary) 16 random numbers and see what the count would come to for varying values of k. This isn't a simple task and you're not going to solve it by starting to type out some code; you need to work out an algorithm first.
Once you've done it a few times on paper you should start getting the hang of it and you can then start thinking about an algorithm for the computer to follow. So let's say we have Code:
14 27 6 13 15 8 4 2 2 7 12 15 9 23 7 1 k=10 Hint: if I were tasked with solving this, I'd use a second array with the same dimensions as the first. |

Soccer: A real WTF (Why the forfeit)
I think this was the first time we've ever had to forfeit a game ... how disappointing! Ten people said they'd come but only five showed up. At least we were able to scrimmage with the other team instead. I had a decent scrimmage in goal, then ironically played a second game for another team who had to forfeit. My best two games in goal all season and neither counted!

A winning soccer season, so far
In what may be a Yuengling first, our co-ed soccer team has a winning record of 2-1-1 after last night's victory. We won 3-1 in a game we dominated from start to finish. I was pleased to add a goal and an assist!
Posted by Andrew on September 29, 2010 at 7:53am
Biggest win in Yuengling history!
Tonight we played defending CoRec champ Tina Come Get Some Ham. They had often beat us soundly over the years, do to the strength of their best player. We dusted off the box-and-one defense for this game and played it well, yielding only one goal to their star. We scored two in the first half. They had a furious rally at the end, including a great shot as time expired, but we pulled out the biggest win in our franchise history!
Posted by Andrew on September 14, 2010 at 7:12pm
Tough game!
We played a tough opponent tonight, one of the recent champions, and we gave them a good game. If it wasn't for the first and last five minutes we would have shut them out! But those minutes count too - we lost 2-0.

Year-end softball stats
For some reason I enjoy compiling these at the end of the year. I had a welcome return to power after slumping for two years. 19-28 (2 2B, 3B, 3 HR, not counting 4BB) with 19 R and 15 RBI. Batting average: .679, on-base percentage: 0.719, slugging percentage: 1.143 and OPS of 1.862. I'll take it! Also had a great year in the field, even throwing out a couple of runners!

Softball finale
It's generally not good to start a playoff game by giving up 10 runs in the top of the first, and if you answer that first inning by scoring only 1 run that's not going to help much either. The only positive was that the beating was swift, so I was able to leave in time to get to my soccer game. My line: 1-2, R, RBI.
Posted by Andrew on September 8, 2010 at 7:48am
Corec soccer starts up too
The first game's rust is always the hardest to overcome. Not a pretty game in any way. Even though we scored first they answered with three more for a 3-1 loss.

Soccer starts up again
I skipped softball playoffs to play the first regular season soccer game instead. Our new additions looked great in the field. Only one mistake (by me) all game, so we ended with a 1-1 tie. Not a bad way to start the season.

Greg must now attend all of my softball games
I don't get it, but I always play twice as good when Greg and Elise come to my games! Even if the other team only had eight players (and two outfielders), I will take a little credit for my home runs, in our upset playoff victory. My line: 2-2, BB, 2HR, 3R, 5RBI.

A tale of two games
I forgot to write about last week... a rain-shortened game that ended in a 4-4 tie after five innings. I did enjoy throwing a runner out at third... that always feels good! My line: 1-3.
The game tonight was not nearly as good. After a 16-run 2nd inning, we were just waiting for the mercy rule! I was fortunate enough to hit a homerun (inside-the-park, of course) to the right-center gap, and have a nice diving catch, even if it was a 24-5 loss. My line: 3-3, HR, 2R, RBI.

VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - FEBRUARY 27: Pope Benedict XVI waves to the faithful as he arrives in St. Peter's Square for his final general audience on February 27, 2013 in Vatican City, Vatican. The Pontiff attended his last weekly public audience before stepping down tomorrow. Pope Benedict XVI has been the leader of the Catholic Church for eight years and is the first Pope to retire since 1415. He cites ailing health as his reason for retirement and will spend the rest of his life in solitude away from public engagements.
