78 Tasting Notes
Put not one but TWO bags in my travel mug and let them steep forever. Can you tell I'm determined to like this tea? This time the Pomegranate was more apparent, but still not super flavorful like I envisioned.
I still think this would go good with agave, or honey. I just don't have any at work to try it with.
When this came in the mail I was SO EXCITED. This is the first tea I got purely from all the great reviews people on steepster were giving. A cinnamon roll tea that tastes exactly like its name? TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! After having two cups of this so far, (one with a 1/2tsp of sugar, the other with the same amount of sugar + milk) I still have to say that it is too good to be true. Maybe I had my expectations set too high?
First impression is it smells strongly of cinnamon, like others say. After brewing it, I still had the strong cinnamon smell but it wasn't quite as prominent when taking a sip. It did not taste like cinnamon roll though. A shame, because I WANTED IT TO. I'm not giving up either, I'm convinced this must be user error if everyone else is having such success and I am not. That or everyone else is having VERY different cinnamon rolls than me.
Despite it not tasting like it's name in my opinion, I still enjoyed this tea. It made for a very nice cup of late night tea before bed. I expect (and hope) my rating will change as I experiment more with how to brew it.
Why yes, I did brew this twice in one day. This time I put one bag in my 16oz travel mug and just left it in there forever (it's still in there now, 30 minutes later). Don't know if this really made a difference in the taste though. I guess this just isn't a very flavorful tea. The pomegranate still isn't super prominent like I thought it would be, unfortunately. I still like it though! I'll finish this box gladly!
Wonder what would happen if I added some agave to it…
Not super flavorful. Maybe next time I should steep it longer. It has a hint of pomegranate in it. I like it overall though! Starberry sent me some of this to try, but I caved and got some before it came in the mail.
In any case, it looks like I have a tea to drink at work that I don't detest (finally).
~1 tsp Youthberry, ~1/2 tsp Superfruit Unity
My friend requested the Youthberry while waiting for my sister to get ready (we were going to the renaissance festival). I decided to put a little superfruit in as well, because I love this combo. I added some agave nectar which made the fruit flavors really sweet as well. Great cup of tea to start out the day with!
LOVE THIS TEA! I drink it on it's own, as well as mixed all the time. I've had it plain, with sugar, honey, agave nectar, hot, iced. No matter how I brew it I still love it. Just a really great, versatile tea in my opinion.
~1 tsp Youthberry, ~1/2 tsp Superfruit Unity
My friend requested the Youthberry while waiting for my sister to get ready. I decided to put a little superfruit in as well, because I love this combo. I added some agave nectar which made the fruit flavors really sweet as well. Great cup of tea to start out the day with!
~1tsp for 8oz cup
I had this for breakfast at my friends house (wow does she have a nice tea selection!). She didn't have a lot of it left so I didn't put too much in the tea leaf ball. Can't say I was super impressed with this tea, especially considering the name of it. I was expecting a lot of different fruit flavors, but I ended up not getting much of anything at all. Which was disappointing. IT HELD SUCH PROMISE!
I added 2 tsp to make a 16oz cup with a bit of agave nectar, and MAN WAS IT GOOD. I inhaled it!
It was fruity, and delicious. This was my first time using agave nectar and I feel like it really brought out the flavor. I'll write more on the actual flavors of it next time I make a cup — which will be soon.
Oh goodness, to describe Tazo's Passion tea as briefly as I could I would use the words: strong, tart, with a hint of sour.
I don't know how all these people steep theirs as long as they do. Personally, steeping it for just a minute gives me all the flavor I could ever want and then some. This tea is PACKED with flavor, which is nice because I can get more than one cup out of a bag.
Is this what hibiscus tastes like? If so, I think I like it. I'm new to the tea world, so it's hard for me to pick out ingredients. I like what I like, that's about it.
Great iced and hot (with or without sweetener)!
THIS IS A GREAT TEA FOR NON-TEA DRINKERS TO HAVE. My sister hates tea, but she loves sweet, fruity things, and loves this stuff. She'll actually make it on her own without me prompting her! WOW!

Philip Seymour Hoffman's talent inspired many young actors, and to former Desperate Housewives costar Shawn Pyfrom, the Oscar winner's tragic death on Sunday provided a wake-up call.

Although she said only last week, "I've been married twice, so that's been there, done that," Eva Longoria is by no means completely ruling out putting on a wedding dress for a third time.
"I didn't say I would never get married again," the 38-year-old, addressing the comments she made to Access Hollywood, told PEOPLE at Saturday's Eva Longoria Foundation Dinner in Hollywood.
"There's nobody in the works now," she clarified. "So, it's not really on my mind. It was very misconstrued."

Emmy winner Kathryn Joosten died of lung cancer Saturday. She was 72.
The actress, best known for her role on Desperate Housewives as plucky neighbor Karen McCluskey and as The West Wing's secretary Mrs. Landingham, was surrounded by family and friends in Westlake Village, Calif., at the time of her death.
"Kathryn passed away this morning after a valiant fight against her cancer," Nadine Jolson, Joosten's rep, told E! News. "Her family was with her. Funeral arrangements are pending. This is a terrible loss, and she fought as hard as she could."

Desperate Housewives is over. For longtime fans of the ABC comedy-drama, the two-hour finale flew by.
The first half concluded the preposterous murder trial against Bree (Marcia Cross). It was sad to see Bree led off to the death chamber manacled and in an unflattering orange jumper. Am I kidding? As narrator Mary Alice would say: Yesssssss …
The second half saw the death of one of the best-loved residents of Wisteria Lane, plus a wedding and a birth. If you're at all up on the season you know who did what of which. In other words, it was sweet, it was pat, it was all a bit anticlimactic – but why wouldn't it be after all this time?
Here are some moments – none of them spoilers – that made the farewell classically Desperate.

Sunday marks the end of road for the lovely ladies of Wisteria Lane. And what a road it's been. After eight seasons of drama, debauchery, tears and hilarity, ABC's Desperate Housewives is coming to an end.
A lot has happened to the series' lovely stars, but time has been kind to the ladies. Check out a the photos of the show's core stars – Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria – when the series debuted (left) in 2004 and a new shot taken this year (right). They still look as sizzling as the day all the drama started.
While saying goodbye to Wisteria Lane isn't easy, Hatcher tells PEOPLE that embodying the role of Susan Mayer was "an opportunity that anyone would have been lucky to be a part of. I am at the top of the grateful list."
Here are a few thoughts from Hatcher and her fellow castmates about their years on the iconic show.

As the May 13 series finale of Desperate Housewives nears, Teri Hatcher says it is finally starting to sink in.
"Every day it gets to be a little more real," Hatcher, 47, recently told PEOPLE at the Wisteria Lane Block Party benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at Universal Studios in L.A.
"We've had a lot of time to process it, so it's not a shock. But I think you just can't really know what it's going to feel like until it's over."

It's going to take more than a breakup to get Eva Longoria down.
The Desperate Housewives star, who recently split from boyfriend Eduardo Cruz, tells PEOPLE that she's still a sucker for love.
"I don't really have a philosophy on love," Longoria said at the Pepsi NEXT launch event in New York's Times Square Thursday, adding, "but I am a hopeless romantic."
Longoria, 37, and Cruz, 27, dated for more than a year before they decided to split last month. But the two seem to be on great terms: they had a cozy post-split date in Los Angeles last weekend.

Desperate? Hardly.
After stepping out with a smile this week to celebrate her 37th birthday with pals, Eva Longoria says her face tells the whole story.
"I feel very excited about my life and I'm excited about things to come," the actress tells PEOPLE, speaking out for the first time since her split from Eduardo Cruz. "There are so many things on the horizon."
Topping the list: visiting President Barack Obama next week in Washington to discuss education, immigration and the economy.

We have appreciated your business over the years!"
What is the Natural Nail Care System?
One of the most sought-out nail care systems in Europe and the US, our Natural Nail Care System allows you to treat yourself to an expensive professional manicure in the comfort of your own home.
Our Natural Nails products promote smooth nails that will quickly grow more beautiful each day. After your first 15- to 20-minute beauty treatment, it will only take a few minutes each week to maintain your beautiful nails. Just think—no more expensive manicures and no more acrylics or other "fake" nail systems.
At the heart of our Natural Nail Care System are the three Buffer Pads and the Micron Crystal Nail File. Naturally porous, nail surfaces attract dirt and dust which can swell when mixed with moisture, leading to breakage, infection, and even discoloration. Our Natural Nails Micron Crystal Nail File and Buffers shape and shine nails as they stimulate, smooth, and seal nail surfaces to prevent chipping and breakage.
The Micron Crystal Nail File consists of thousands of synthetic ruby crystals bonded together to form a unique surface with a 9.5 degree of hardness rating (a diamond is rated 10.0). Microscopic ruby dust from the file strengthens nails and prevents the formation of new fissures. Microscopic ruby dust from the file strengthens nails and prevents the formation of new fissures that can rip or snag fabrics.
Unlike a conventional nail file, our Micron Crystal Nail File shapes nails without tearing, fraying, or cracking them. You can even file in both directions without damaging the nail surface. It is easily sanitized with soap and water, nail polish remover, or even in the dishwasher.
The file tip's specially rounded edge allows you to remove burrs, dirt, and stains. The flat area near the tip easily removes cuticle and hard skin without damaging nail surfaces. Our Stone File gently erases cuticles when used in a light circular motion.
The groove in the Stone File is specially designed for longer fingernails. When using the groove, keep the file level or thinning of the nail's tip may occur.
Our Natural Nails Buffer Pads deposit microscopic ruby crystals onto the nail. Each has a specific use:
The No. 1 Cleansing Buffer Pad gently removes dirt, grease, discolorations, and ridges.
The No. 2 Structuring Buffer Pad brings natural oils to the nail's surface. This oil combines with the ruby dust to seal and protect the surface as well as to stimulate circulation to encourage growth.
The No. 3 Sealing Buffer Pad smoothes the nail surface. Its ruby dust bonds with natural oils on the nail's surface to seal the whole nail and create a high-gloss natural shine which repels dirt and dust.
Rounding out the system are these high-quality Natural Nails products:
- Use Natural Nails Nail & Cuticle Cream daily for strong healthy nails and soft silky hands. Natural Nails Nail & Cuticle Cream (1 fl. oz.) replaces moisture and essential nutrients and feeds fingernails and cuticles with vitamin E and minerals while you sleep. The beeswax seals and protects cuticles and nail surfaces. Unscented, Nail & Cuticle Cream is very rich in Vitamin E, and it makes a great hand cream. Because it is very concentrated, a little goes a long way.
- Natural Nails Cuticle Oil Roll-On (1/3 fl. oz.) is a concentrated oil enriched with the best natural essential oils (soybean, wheat germ, sesame, safflower, evening primrose, tea tree, and almond). Using Cuticle Oil regularly will soften and condition cuticles and adds nutrients to the matrix where your nail is formed. It also helps to heal hangnails and other cuticle problems. Natural Nails Cuticle Oil will help fingernails to grow healthier, stronger, and longer.
- The Natural Nails Cuticle Oil Pen's (3/8 fl. oz.) high-quality natural essential oils leave the nail perfectly manicured and extremely glossycolorless polish is unnecessary. It removes all leftover crystal particles, and its ingredients will help to keep your nails in good condition. Use the pen as often as you wish to push back cuticles.
- Crack Attacker Instant Repair Nail Bandages effectively and invisibly repair split or broken fingernails and are water-resistant.
Our high-quality Natural Nails products can help you achieve healthy and beautiful fingernails. To experience Natural Nails, click here.

The Record: Letters, Dec. 8, 2012
Politics, economics and price gouging
Regarding "Welcome crackdown" (Editorial, Dec. 1):
In support of the attorney general's lawsuits against hotels and gas stations that had the audacity to raise prices illegally during the recent storm, the editorial makes numerous logical fallacies and perpetuates several myths about the economy.
First, prices are signals about the intensity of consumer demand and the available supply of any good and service at a particular point in time. Whether we are in "normal" times or in the aftermath of a devastating storm, prices must be allowed to fluctuate to balance the supply of goods and services with the demand of consumers. Otherwise, there will be artificial shortages or surpluses.
In our hampered free-enterprise system, consumers queuing for any product or service usually reflect an attempt by the government to suppress prices, as was the case at gas stations throughout New Jersey.
The editorial said there were ample supplies of gasoline, but "because many stations lacked power to operate" motorists could not find gasoline at "normal" prices. Any time there is a disruption in the supply chain there is a shortage of product available to consumers. This is precisely what happened as gas stations could not pump gasoline and refineries could not deliver gas. In other words, there was huge disruption in the supply of gasoline, and the rise in prices was justified, as painful as it was to motorists.
For the state to arbitrarily dictate what is the "fair" price for gasoline, a hotel room or any other product or service in high demand during and after the storm perpetuates the myth that the government is a good allocator of scarce resources. As one economist noted, "The first law of economics is scarcity, there is not enough of everything to go around for everyone. The first law of politics is to ignore the first law of economics."

Regarding "Welcome crackdown" (Editorial, Dec. 1):
Your editorial was right on point — minus one possible long-range solution.
If you had included a list of "alleged gougers," you might have facilitated a possible validation of the free enterprise system theory — consumer decisions controlling the marketplace. I would never buy a gallon of gasoline in one of these offending stations. Putting them out of business would be a far better solution than a long, drawn-out legal scrap.

Hubris defines school administration
As a retired teacher and former Bergen County resident, I have a difficult time understanding the wisdom behind the Ramsey school district's decision to extend the school year to June 27.
State testing is done in March and May, and AP exams are at the beginning of May. High school classrooms are not air-conditioned, and in June the third floor is like an attic. I doubt quality education can take place when the temperature in the classrooms tops 90 degrees, and the required testing has been completed at least a month and a half earlier.
As a show of solidarity, I certainly expect the administrators and the board members who made this decision to forgo all use of air conditioning at work until after school is out. They should also be in a room of up to 30 students and keep them on task and motivated.
If time in the classroom is so important, shouldn't those who deal directly with the students be involved in this decision? I'm sure the teachers, if asked, would have a few creative solutions for how to make up the time; they should be considered.
It always amazed me how unilateral, top-down mandates define the decision-making process in public education. Are judgments by autocratic decrees the way to teach children?

Look to librarians for digital literacy
Regarding "Digital age is testing teachers" (Page A-1, Dec. 3):
The education system already has a resource that is, too often, being ignored: school library media specialists.
They have rigorous professional qualifications and provide access to quality print and electronic information. They assess online resources and teach how to assess information. They collaborate with classroom teachers to plan lessons. They train staff and students on digital content and technology. They create programs and provide digital literacy curricula.
School librarians want to co-teach in the classrooms; they want to provide professional development to teachers so that the "piecemeal" nature of teaching digital literacy skills ends.
Unfortunately, school librarians receive scant attention as suppliers of these services. Too often, school librarians become compartmentalized as people who check books in and out. School librarians, however, look at their services another way, as providers of CPR:
* Collaboration, communication is critical, curriculum knowledge, connections to the world, colleagues in teaching.
* Partners promoting pedagogy, technology and learning, promote reading for pleasure.
* Research process instruction, reinforce classroom learning.

Dismantling social ties that bind
Regarding "Penmanship" (Local Issue, Page L-1, Nov. 18) and "Consider computer ban in schools" (Your Views, Dec. 5):
Remember reading, writing and 'rithmetic, the 3 Rs of education? Well, now it's writing that won't be taught.
Next, it will be reading because children can listen to audio instead of learning to read. And forget arithmetic: There are calculators for that. The next thing to go will be teachers because we won't need them either.
So be careful what we wish for because it's coming and it isn't good.
Moderation is key to everything. Technical gadgets have their place and are wonderful at the right time and place. Proper education is essential in raising our children so that they are not only capable human beings but also socially adept.

Protect pets from wildlife
Bergen County residents are seeing more and more wildlife in our communities — deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, even an occasional bear.
A few days ago, as I was looking out over my yard, a rather large coyote happened to pass by, a mature male with long fluffy grey and brown hair. Unmistakable, as he just whisked himself through, looking for a meal or whatever else he may have come across.
We often see handmade signs posted on utility poles. They read similar ways: "Reward, missing cat. Answers to name of Sissy. Yellow tabby!! We love her dearly!!"
Coyotes are here to stay. Keep the cats and dogs inside.

Shared services can cure civic fiscal ailments
Regarding "Shared services saves money" (Your Views, Nov. 24) and "Mayor rejects deal for shared dispatching" (Page L-1, Nov. 21):
A popular form of reality television has famous chefs rescuing failing restaurants. A real-life rescue is urgently needed in every municipal building in New Jersey.
The way municipal government currently operates gives residents the feeling that they're located on the corner of Apathy Road and Tradition Street.
Experts need to come in and show mayors and councils exactly where the buck stops and where that buck comes from.
Layers of municipal management need to be thinned, and municipal employees need to be taught that the customer is always right.
Shared services need to be fixed before the infections are allowed to spread.

Governor amends, vetoes numerous bills
Gov. Bob McDonnell on Tuesday recommended changing some of the requirements in legislation requiring voters to show identification on Election Day. His suggestions would make it somewhat easier for people who don't have proper IDs to have their ballots counted. McDonnell announced that he was recommending changes to 130 laws approved by the General Assembly and that he was vetoing seven bills. The assembly will reconvene next Wednesday to consider the governor's actions. Last month, lawmakers passed House Bill 9 and Senate Bill 1, requiring voters to present valid identification to cast a regular ballot. Otherwise, they would cast a provisional ballot, which would be counted only if the voter provides proper ID by the day after the election. Supporters said the bills would prevent voter fraud and ensure integrity of the voting process. Opponents likened the legislation to Jim Crow-style suppression of the minority vote. "Ensuring the security, fairness and openness of our elections are cornerstones of a strong democracy. For people to have faith in their government, they must have faith in their elections. This legislation passed by the General Assembly attempts to increase the security of our elections by lessening the risk of voter fraud," McDonnell said. He added, "In reviewing this legislation, I want to preserve this goal of preventing illegal voting while promoting voter participation, and making sure we do not stand in the way of legitimate voting. I also want to ensure that this legislation complies with the requirements of the Voting Rights Act of 1965." The governor proposed four changes to the legislation. Under his recommendations: • Officials would compare the signature on a voter's provisional ballot with the signature on file with the State Board of Elections. This means provisional voters would not have to present an ID to their registrar after the election, although that option would exist. • Provisional voters would have more time to send or present ID to the local electoral board. McDonnell would give provisional voters until the Friday after the election to show ID or validate their signature. • Community college identification cards would be an acceptable form of ID to cast an official ballot. (The bills specified an ID card from "any four-year institution of higher education.") McDonnell also proposed removing a provision in the legislation that says an election official can waive the voter ID requirements if he or she recognizes a voter who does not have valid identification. The governor cited concerns about the "subjectivity and lack of uniformity" in making such determinations. Currently, Virginians who don't have valid IDs can vote if they sign an affidavit swearing that they are registered voters. "Under Virginia's current voter ID law, approximately 0.25 percent to 0.30 percent of voters vote without identification and signing the affirmation," McDonnell said. "Under this legislation, the number of people subject to the non-ID voting provisions will decrease with the addition of several acceptable IDs." Under existing law, acceptable forms of identification include a voter registration card, a Social Security card and a driver's license. Under the legislation, a voter also could show a utility bill, bank statement, government check or paycheck. The Republican governor also acted on bills on several other topics. Education As part of his "Opportunity to Learn" agenda, McDonnell signed SB 131 and amended a related measure, HB 321, giving tax credits to companies that provide scholarships for low-income students to attend private schools. His change would require scholarship foundations to allow an eligible student to attend any eligible private school. The bills raise a contentious issue. Republicans believe such proposals can improve an underprivileged student's education, but Democrats say they take away from the public school system. Among his seven vetoes, McDonnell rejected SB 471, which would have required the State Board of Education to create physical education requirements for public schools. Public employees' retirement McDonnell signed HB 1130 and made amendments to SB 497 and 498. SB 497 requires that local government employees pay a 5 percent contribution to the Virginia Retirement System, the public employee pension fund. The governor proposed giving all local governments five years to phase in the 5 percent employee contribution requirement. SB 497 allowed only school boards to phase in the requirement. McDonnell's changes to SB 498 would make the sickness and disability coverage for local employees under the state's new hybrid retirement plan mandatory, with an opt-out provision for localities that offer comparable disability coverage. "Over the last few years, we have taken a number of important steps to help ensure that employees' retirement is secure. This year, the General Assembly passed historic legislation to further improve the long-term solvency of the Virginia Retirement System," McDonnell said. Transportation McDonnell amended two key pieces of his transportation agenda – the Comprehensive Port of Virginia Promotion and Reform Bill (HB 1183 and SB 578) and the Comprehensive Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority Promotion and Reform Bill (HB 813 and SB 284). Specifically, he recommended increasing from $7.5 million to $9.5 million the amount of annual funding for the Commonwealth Space Flight Fund. The fund would support efforts to develop Virginia's commercial aerospace industry. |

Khumba-ya? Not quite
But animated South African film has its moments
You might have seen something called Khumba while clicking through a Redbox recently (or perhaps it was nestled in some hidden corner of a DVD sale shelf). And chances are, you passed it by without much of a thought. Makes sense; that goggle-eyed cartoon zebra on the cover (a zebra that's dangerously close to becoming Madagascar copyright infringement) doesn't inspire much confidence.
But when Khumba starts up, it looks nothing like you'd expect. The camera gazes across the savannah and the soundtrack swells with triumphant South African vocals. > Read more.

Town Square
Great job, Rosas Brothers Construction!!

The bumpy, cracked sidewalks in this town are a major hazard! My son broke his shoulder on one and the city refused to pay his medical and surgical costs! it is a huge problem for people trying to walk anywhere, to the point that many people, especially older folks, can be seen walking in the street because it is actually safer, in spite of the cars!
Thanx, Rosas Brothers!

Brussel Sprout & Chicken Sausage Soup
Brussel sprouts, you either love them or hate them so much you want to send them into a burning pit to never be found again. Clearly, I'm a fan. And now, after I tasted this amazing brussel sprout & chicken sausage soup, I'm going to be on team BS forever.
They are not only the cutest vegetable ever (a little baby cabbage, COME ON!) they taste absolutely amazing too! I've always loved them, since the days of my youth when I would ask the cafeteria lady for an extra scoop, sans the cheez whiz, while the other children watched in horror, their mouths agape. I was a bit of a freak, if you will. And clearly not much has changed because I had a bowl of this brussel sprout soup for breakfast with my mocha.
My favorite part of this soup is how VEGGIETASTIC it is. It's literally filled to the brim with fiber rich, good for you veggies. I can't even stand how good this soup is for your bodies, friends. Especially after you binge eat on mashed potatoes and heavy cream. This soup will set you back to your pre-Thanksgiving weight and will probably cure any ailment you have plaguing you.
Broken foot? Have this soup. Cough? Have this soup. Missing an eyeball? Have this soup. Honestly, you'll feel like a BRAND new person after one hearty bowl. And it's not only full of awesome things like fiber, protein and antioxidants, it's delicious to boot! It's warm and cozy and is the perfect healthy winter meal. Plus, you can add in leftover turkey in place of chicken sausage for a more leftovery type meal. See, I'm protesting the turkey and the thought of it makes me itchy, so I've moved on to other meats.
Oh, and this is made a crock pot! Healthy and easy, FOR THE WIN.

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012178 calories? ! This is why I love you.
Tuesday, November 20th, 2012Yes, this is beyond perfect. I love chicken sausage and Brussels!
Friday, December 27th, 2013I was looking for a recipe I could use with fresh brussel sprouts and turkey and this popped up. I liked the idea of the sausage and I used two cooked brats, sliced, but generally followed your recipe' to the letter. It was fantastic and even those who are hesitant to eat the BS I really urge you to try this excellent recipe. This will change your mind.

plots[matrixplot] - 3-D plot with z values determined by a matrix
Calling Sequence
matrixplot(A, options)
see plot3d[option]
The matrixplot function defines a three-dimensional graph where the x and y coordinates represent the row and column indices of A, respectively. The z values are the corresponding entries of A.
The remaining arguments are options specified as equations of the form option = value. For example:
The plot is drawn in the form of a three-dimensional histogram.
The value of r is a real number between 0 and 1.
The color of the plot is given by F, where F is a color specification as described in the plot/color help page. F can also be a two-argument procedure returning a single real value to be interpreted as a hue rather than RGB value.
Other options include most of those found with plot3d. These include axes, view, title, labels, style, projection, and orientation. See plot3d/option.
The result of a call to matrixplot is a PLOT3D structure which can be rendered by the plotting device. The user may assign a PLOT3D value to a variable, save it in a file, then read it back in for redisplay. See plot3d[structure] for more information.
The command to create the plot from the Plotting Guide is

JFK: An Unfinished Legacy Cut Short by a Bullet
President Kennedy offered hope during a time of crisis before darkness set in
Thousands of supporters greet President John F. Kennedy in Fort Worth, Tex. He left for Dallas later that day.
His injection of the United States into Vietnam, which ended in disaster when Lyndon Johnson vastly escalated the conflict, still generates hot debates. His supporters say he never would have gotten the United States so deeply involved in the swamp. Others say he was headed in that direction.
Kennedy's assassination marked the start of what seemed to be a national nervous breakdown and other traumas followed. Racial frictions grew and there were riots in many cities. Young people lost faith in the older generation, particularly over the escalating Vietnam war, and anti-war and counter-cultural demonstrations proliferated. Crime increased and many didn't feel safe in their neighborhoods. In April 1968, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the acclaimed civil rights leader, was killed. Two months later, Robert Kennedy, the slain president's brother, was murdered as he campaigned for the White House. In July 1969, Edward Kennedy, the only surviving brother of President Kennedy, was caught up in a scandal when he drove a car that crashed on Chappaquiddick Island, Mass., leaving a young woman passenger dead. In May 1972, presidential candidate George Wallace was shot and permanently disabled. In retrospect, the Kennedy era seemed a bright spot just before forces of darkness descended on the country.
"Like all presidents, Kennedy had successes and failures," writes historian Alan Brinkley. "His administration was dominated by a remarkable number of problems and crises—in Berlin, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam; and in Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama. Some of these, he managed adroitly and, at times, courageously. Many, he could not resolve. He was a reserved, pragmatic man who almost never revealed passion.
"Yet many people saw him—and still do—as an idealistic and, yes, passionate president who would have transformed the nation and the world, had he lived. His legacy has only grown in the 50 years since his death. That he still embodies a rare moment of public activism explains much of his continuing appeal: He reminds many Americans of an age when it was possible to believe that politics could speak to society's moral yearnings and be harnessed to its highest aspirations. More than anything, perhaps, Kennedy reminds us of a time when the nation's capacities looked limitless, when its future seemed unbounded, when Americans believed that they could solve hard problems and accomplish bold deeds."
What really matters to most Americans is that Kennedy lifted their spirits, and continues to do so. In the current era of government shutdown and near-default, stalemate and recrimination, pettiness and partisanship, few politicians can approach his level of charisma or his ability to inspire. And that may be the biggest loss of all.
Ken Walsh covers the White House and politics for U.S. News. He writes the daily blog, "Ken Walsh's Washington," for usnews.com, and "The Presidency" column for the U.S. News Weekly. He is the author of the new book "Prisoners of the White House: The Isolation of America's Presidents and the Crisis of Leadership." Ken Walsh can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and followed on Facebook and Twitter.

NOL Invited into Next Stage of Hapag-Lloyd Sale Process
Neptune Orient Lines Limited (NOL) has been invited to continue into the next phase of the bidding process for the sale of the Hapag-Lloyd container shipping business. NOL submitted an indicative non-binding bid to acquire Hapag-Lloyd to the company's owner TUI AG on 21 July 2008. Any agreement would be subject to, among other steps, due diligence, submission and acceptance of NOL's final bid, regulatory approvals and NOL shareholders' approvals. If successful, NOL would integrate its APL container shipping business with Hapag-Lloyd, which would create the world's third-largest container carrier. While the process is underway, NOL will be bound by strict confidentiality undertakings, which legally restrict the company's ability to share information. NOL is committed to keeping stakeholders informed of important developments.
NOL to Help Develop a New Container Terminal
Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) has been advised by the Port of Rotterdam that a consortium comprising NOL, Hyundai Merchant Marine, Mitsui OSK Lines, DP World and CMA CGM has been awarded the right to equip and operate the first container terminal to be developed at Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam. The 156 hectare terminal will have a capacity of around 4 million TEU and is expected to be operational in 2013. NOL's share of the consortium will be 20%.
NOL Expects It To Be A Profitable Year
Neptune Orient Lines Ltd. (NOL) expects a better second half and overall profit in the current year. NOL said the bottoming out of the Asian economic crisis had resulted in higher cargo volumes in most sectors. Freight rates out of Asia to Europe and North America had also increased since mid-year, it said in comments accompanying its result. NOL reported last Wednesday an interim net profit, the first time in two years
NOL Appoints Held CEO
The Chairman of Neptune Orient Lines Limited (NOL), Cheng Wai Keung, announced the appointment of Dr. Thomas Held as Group President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NOL, effective November 1, 2006. Dr. Held will also be appointed a member of the NOL Board of Directors.

Quantum wells inside our solar cells enhance the absorption of sunlight
Researchers from Imperial College London are developing the next generation of solar panels to harness the sun to provide clean and affordable electricity.
Solar energy has long been recognised as a potential alternative to fossil fuels, but the technology was traditionally expensive and inefficient. This is now changing.
"Solar energy is one of the most sustainable energy sources we have, but until recently, the technology to convert it was relatively inefficient," says Dr Nicholas Ekins-Daukes from Imperial College London. "We specialise in using nanotechnology to increase the efficiency of solar electricity generation and thereby also reduce the cost."
Solar cells, like the human eye, are only sensitive to certain parts of the sun's spectrum. This new technology tailors the solar cells on the nanoscale, to increase the spectrum of light they can absorb and use. The high efficiency cells are integrated into optical systems that concentrate the sunlight further, reducing the amount of expensive cell material required.
The researchers recently set the record for the most efficient nanostrctured solar cell, with approximately twice the efficiency of commercially available solar cells.
"These 'third generation' cells will help accelerate the adoption of solar energy as a green energy source," says Nicholas.

kwalletcli Public Beta Test
I have developed kwalletcli, a command-line interface to the KDE Wallet and would like public feedback, before releasing an 1.00 version, both on the source code and an experimental Debian package of it.
Nice things it can do:
- get and set password stanzas in the KWallet via CLI
- contains a CLI wrapper around pinentry's Aegypten protocol
- contains an Aegypten protocol server, pinentry-kwallet, which checks the KWallet before deferring to another pinentry of your choice
- contains an ssh-askpass(1) alike kwalletaskpass tool
- can be used in gajim and pidgin to store Jabber passwords in the KDE Wallet (not included; patches for these will be made separately)
- plugins for other tools do not introduce dependencies due to separation via CLI API
- nice, (hopefully) consistent shell CLI API
- low dependencies: KDE 3 (for kwalletcli itself – KDE 4 might even work, with minor Makefile changes, but that was not tested), another pinentry (x11, qt, gtk-2, curses – all tested) if needed, gpg-agent if needed, mksh to run the scripts, ssh-add(1) to make use of kwalletaskpass
- with appropriate agents, GnuPG 2 and SSH keys can be made available to pure CLI sessions as well, if one has logged in via KDE first (we do this at work on our standard desktops, courtesy by me)
- OSI certified Open Source™ Software under a free, very unrestrictive, licence
Any feedback welcome! Direct it to the miros-discuss mailing list.
Update 09.07. – version 0.90 -> 0.91-1
I also crafted
a patch for gajim to use
kwalletcli, let's see if it gets in. More to follow.
Update 09.07. – version 0.91-1 -> 0.92-1
People who
port this to KDE 4 (create a kwif4.cc file) welcome!
Update 12.07. – version 0.92-1 -> 0.93-1
Update 27.07. – version 0.93-1 -> 0.94-1

I was looking to enhance my FreeView TV experience, the problem was, I don't have good reception in my house and I didn't want to run wires from the Freeview antenna to every room in the house. Then I saw the VBox TV Gateway XTi-3340.

Was originally looking to replace my sky plus box with a Freesat box but had no joy connecting the dish lead to the Humax box so had a rethink and decided to try a Freeview box instead. Found this Panasonic box at Richer Sounds for such a good price. It can pause, record, has built in Wifi linking you to You View and Net flicks and other websites, HD channels and a good selction of other channels.

Purchased in time for the switchover, along with new TV. Easy to set up with plenty of cable for the speakers. Like all new systems, its supposed to be intuitive to set up, sut there are a few bits of guesswork needed as the instructions assume you only have TV and home cinema and dont take account of the multitude of other connections like freeview, bluray etc, but with persistence you get there in the end. Once its all set up, sound is excellent, several modes, easy to switch about as long… Read Full Review

Purchased my TV from Currys so, if there were any problems, I could return it easily (40" is very bulky to return). Read that a lot of these sets are being sold without the apps for catch up TV loaded. Had to order a wi fi dongle from Amazon and wait for that to arrive, which was a bit annoying (why not included in a "Smart TV"?

Custom Tumblers with Straws
You are sitting there sipping a soft drink from a paper cup. Something startles you, and you momentarily tighten your grip. Immediately the cup collapses, and you have soft drink all over your lap. Does that sound familiar? Or you set your paper cup down, someone bumps the table, and over goes your drink-all over the table and then the floor.
We've all had these moments, and they are neither comfortable nor fun! Sometimes, they can be downright embarrassing! A personalized tumbler with straw can be the perfect solution!
The best promotional products are those which solve a problem and provide a useful alternative, while advertising your company in a positive manner. By supplying your customers, potential customers, and employees with a promotional tumbler with straw, you are saving them from spills that are at the very least inconvenient. At the same time, you are skillfully promoting your companies image by displaying your logo prominently on the tumblers.
These tumblers do not need to be expensive to be effective advertising tools. Even on a small budget, you can successfully promote your business and brand. When you are doing your marketing research and setting up your advertising budget, decide how much can be allotted for the purchase of your custom tumblers with straws. Then determine how you will go about distributing them. This will tell you whether you should spend more on each tumbler, when they are to be used as gifts, or whether you should keep the cost of each unit low for a more large scale giveaway for a tradeshow or other event.
You can select custom tumblers with straws for as little as $1.35 for the 20 oz. Stadium 2 Go with Straw. This tumbler has a large 7.5″ x 2.88″ area for your logo imprint, and makes an excellent advertising item for large scale promotions.
For tumblers used as gifts, you may prefer a design such as the 27 oz flip top freedom, a double wall insulated acrylic tumbler with flip top sipper lid.
Whatever style of a href="https://www.rushimprint.com/custom-tumblers-with-straws.html">personalized tumbler with straw that you choose, these items fill a definite need and will help to promote your company image and growth.

bomb the bass - lali puna Discography

as if this wasn\'t enough, tim simenon joined forces with markus acher and the marvelous chanteuse valerie trebeljahr of-lali puna-fame who once again provides some incredible vocals.
mere uptempo hip hop inspired beats, a bouncy bassline and a deep, dubby vibe topped with the wonderful warmth of valerie trebeljahrs voice make clearcut a blistering masterpiece.

four delicate remixes between sparse distorted breaks, shining melodies and hip hop influenced elektronika. let\'s all bomb the bass.
