But if LaPierre is the thug that his public record indicates, how does Sciarra fit in to this new neighborhood? "If there's an observation to be made here it's Joseph Conrad's idea about the interloper, the newcomer who is resented for having more," Sciarra says. "I'm the yuppie interloper in his world. I'm the parvenu. That's a potentially dangerous situation."
What mostly concerns Sciarra is a clash of prejudice and perception. "They probably perceive me as someone who pulls down six figures," he says over a lunch of sweetbreads with mushrooms and artichoke sauce. "What they don't know is that I am a musician and a producer, and I have to do software consulting to pay for that, because I haven't made it yet. We have a problem with perceptions right now, and if those perceptions slip, something might really go wrong, and then it's a matter of how we both react. I know how they will react -- with brute force. And I will do what I can, within the law."
The potential for conflict is so high, Sciarra says, that he is considering not moving into his new house. He is not alone in this assessment of the situation. The couple who looked at the house before him were all set to buy it when some neighbors told them about LaPierre. "I heard from neighbors that were spooked," says the man who almost bought the house. "I had heard that there were guns and gunshots. They said there were sleazy characters pulling up at all hours, and lots of cars."
But Sciarra is stuck. He's closed the deal. Either he reaches some accommodation with LaPierre, or he gets the hell out of Dodge.
"I don't want to antagonize them," he says. "I have a vested self-interest in keeping the peace. And fear, you can smell it. It's that sniffing-dog thing. I don't want fear to be part of that equation."
It's a sunny afternoon in late April -- weeks after Sciarra checked the criminal files and vented his fears of the neighborhood bully -- and the parvenu is again up on Bernal Heights preparing to maybe move in.
He has already shared his concerns about LaPierre with Capt. Bruce and, he says, the police commander has advised him not to move in.
Next door, LaPierre's friend Ivan is standing on the sidewalk, and he calls Sciarra over. Word has gotten out that a reporter has been asking questions, and that Sciarra has been talking. Just then, LaPierre walks up.
Sciarra has no choice now. He has to confront his fear. He tells LaPierre that he's talked to the reporter. And what's more, he has inspected the court files. Frankly, he says, he's scared.
The two men talk for about an hour. LaPierre explains his criminal record. The coke bust, it was for personal use. The dogfight, he was just a spectator, and it was his first time. He's finally gotten his kids off welfare, and he's trying hard to be a good provider and father. He loves his kids. Loves them more than anything else.
As for criminal enterprises, LaPierre says, he's a gangbuster, not a gangbanger. In fact, he says, he's broken up gangs in Precita Park several times. He's not the neighborhood bully, he tells Sciarra, he's the neighborhood protector.
The conversation turns to less confrontational topics: cars, and how LaPierre loves cars, loves working on them. The two men -- the parvenu and the bully -- are talking like, well, neighbors. Sciarra has been to the belly of the beast. He's relieved, but still not sure whether he'll move into his half-million-dollar house, or rent it out to someone braver and, perhaps, stupider than he.

[solved ]Strange problem with audio interface (no bass)
Hey all
I have a very strange problem with my audio interface and I hope sombody of you knows what could be the problem. Maybe it is just something simple? I just got my Roland UA 55 Quad Capture Audio Interface. Installed drivers and plugged it in (Win 7 64 bit/ USB 2.0). Recording works fine but I have a strange problem with my sound output: My sound absolutely lacks bass! No bass at all. But when I use my headphones I have normal bass like before. (Both headphones and my 2:1 sound system are plugged in into the audio interface). When I unplugged the USB from the audio interface and connect my 2:1 sound system to my computers internal soundcard all works like before. What is wrong here? Maybe I have a problem because I have a 2:1 soundsystem? /Edit: Now I plugged my jack that comes from the soundsystem to the front of the audio device and now I get bass like I had before. WTF?! Why do I get no bass when I plug in my soundsystem to the rear output? See picture Last edited by Kyho; 2012-04-03 at 23:30. |

Phillies Blunt Chocolate Aroma Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 11 through 20 of 24 reviews
"Good Cigars"
I smoke these cigars alot cause they are available at cheap costs, and and have great aroma. They also still taste good even after you give them a re-light, they hold there flavor. If you like cheap decent cigars, smoke these and save money.
Ian in New York November 1, 2010
"Good sweet chocolaty smoke"
I really like this cigar once in a while. It's a very mild tobacco flavor with chocolaty taste throughout. I think only the tip is flavored but the chocolate taste stays all the way through. It will satisfy a sweet tooth and a tobacco taste at the same time. Decent smoke production, too. I have had worse smokes at the $/stick range. The worst rating I would give this stick is in the burn category. It burns inconsistently and fairly fast. That's another thing I like...it's a relatively fast smoke when I don't have time for a 1.5 hour cigar. Phillies, Dutch Masters, and other drug store cigars get little respect but can be fairly good smokes.
Bandy in Midwest October 21, 2010
"Only cigar I smoke...."
This is the only cigar I smoke. You have to open up the hole for better draw, but they burn cool, taste great and my wife loves the way I smell after I smoke them. Cheaper than cologne!
Anthony B in SLC, UT October 14, 2010
"My Favorite Flavor"
Chocolate Aroma is the best of the Phillies I've tried, the others boxes of Strawberry and Peach. The foil wrapper, the dark color, and the great taste (after half a box smoked) leads to believe that I'll probably reorder this flavor when the time comes.
Michael K. in Grand Prairie, TX July 11, 2010
"Good price, great smoke"
The aroma and flavor is like its smoke, sweet and thick. It's priced just right so that you're not afraid to invite all your friends for a drink and a smoke. Good times, sweet cigars.
Felipe in WA January 11, 2010
"Great smoke"
Excellent taste. Great for after dinner !

dennis in top secret October 27, 2008
I have tried several flavors of Phillies.. and the chocolate is the best. Mild, tasty, and minimal harshness. Good stuff for a cheap cigar.

Check Spelling
Mar 14, 2014Lana is a good singer, being able to switch from a bird-like falsetto to an elegant deep. I honestly love her so much. But of course, loving someone doesn't mean someone is perfect. Born to Die was exceptional, but exceptionally long. And it tries to squeeze dry Lana of ideas. But when it does, you already love her.
Feb 16, 2014
Feb 11, 2014
Feb 9, 2014Dark, haunting, and extremely beautiful. Favourite tracks: Radio, Blue Jeans, Million Dollar Man, Dark Paradise, Off to the Races and National Anthem.
Jan 31, 2014I avoided her for so long as some hipster trash but I finally gave in and I wished I did sooner! the album is pure perfection. my highlights are born to die, Lolita, off to the races, Carmen and video games.
Jan 10, 2014Underrated album. the best songs: this is what makes us girls, radio, blue jeans, and born to die. It takes me to 60 's old bar where the true and awesome music came out. Lana Del Rey shouldn't have put songs like off the races and diet mountain dew. beside that the album is a masterpiece
Dec 23, 2013The vocals on the album really expresses the songs very well. The lyrics to song is amazing and the melody. But overall it seems dull and monotonously.
Dec 17, 2013You just can't get enough of her. Her voice is an addiction. The whole album is beautiful, she is not a typical poppy singer like others. She's unique one of a kind
Dec 16, 2013The album was very well-crafted, every detail has been thought of, songs inspired by the film "Lolita" Unconditionally were well placed, but do not give a maximum score for story from "This Is What Makes Us Girls" but sí, Album congratulations Lana Del Rey "Born to Die" are wonderful ,was indeed one of the best albums of 2012
Nov 26, 2013This album was beautiful, simple and calm. The hits were absolutely stunning but with tracks like 'Lolita' that let down the album. 'Radio' and 'Blue Jeans' were one of my favorites and the album is not a money waster. 'Summertime Sadness' was the best song in there.
Nov 26, 2013This woman looked like it died and has not been buried. Uses a play on words and a fully pedantic to modern image, giving the impression of an instagram untalented and refurbished Nancy Sinatra to today's teens. Fans, just accept that it is just a product placed on the media to sell and nothing more.
Nov 22, 2013
Nov 22, 2013
Nov 16, 2013
Nov 12, 2013Born To Die has no words to describe it. So fresh, so excellent, the whole amazing lyrics and sounds. It's perfect. I have no words with this album. If you say that it is bad you're totally wrong.
Nov 12, 2013With one of the most beautiful and moving voices of the current generation, Lana Del Rey has given us a reason to have faith in the mainstream music industry. Born to Die can be considered a short and repetitive record, though the talent that Lana Del Rey has is enough to save the record and turn it into a masterpiece.
Nov 2, 2013Rather slow at some parts but some of the most stunning vocals since the album 21 by Adele. I'm glad to see Lana is getting well deserved credit recently.
Oct 3, 2013*UPDATED REVIEW* Lana Del Rey's Born to Die is a nice and retro baroque album, but it is damaged by failed attempts at hip-hop tracks and repetitive lyrical content. But besides those problems, it is a quite good major label debut album with plenty of great songs.
Sep 21, 2013Stunning album! Lana del Rey's voice is simply incredible and the trip hoppy music
nails it. Don't listen to her critics (aka Pitchfork who constantly prove that they don't no
s*** about good music). An album that will never age. -
Aug 30, 2013Lana is the anthem of sucess, she is a great singer that don't need to shake her ass in the MTV, Just be beauty and she is the queen of alternative songs.
Aug 7, 2013Lana Del Rays music is haunting and addicting. So is the album itself. Born to Die is a work of art, and one of the best albums of 2012. I highly recommend it.
May 22, 2013Loved the album to bits, her voice, her persona. It takes you somewhere dark and beautiful, and keeps you there pretty much the whole 49 minutes. Great music to drive to, specially now the summer is coming. Can you really ask for much more than that from a début album?
May 4, 2013Born to Die shows of Lana's amazing voice and great lyrics. All the songs have their merits but some of the songs are a bit too similar. Putting that aside it is one of the best albums I've heard. Million Dollar Man and Off to the Races are my favourite songs on the album
Apr 26, 2013Lana Del Rey is for me one of the best alternative music artists The way she sings and puts all that darkness in her songs is just from another world. Her singles about luxury love and darkness are genious I like more Born to Die than Paradise Edition BTD its estrutured and more toutchy feely
Apr 20, 2013Very good album, the album was melancholy but very enjoyable, very well written and some great songs, the best songs are Blue jeans, born to die and video games
Mar 30, 2013Born To Die is an 'ok' album, but her low vocals and '50s inspired songs' are, i can't say boring, but too tiring at some points.
Mar 24, 2013Del Rey Brings Somthing New To The Table With Her Haunting Voice, And Creative Lyrics It Makes Born To Die The Best Album Of 2012! Every Song Off Born To Die Is Perfect!
Jan 18, 2013I think that the critcs are being too....critical (Ha). It's a great album. Yes, she doesn't do so well live, but she is great in this album. Her voice is beautiful and it shows very well in this album. the album also varies, in the fact that no all of the songs sound alike.
Jan 6, 2013
Dec 25, 2012
Dec 23, 2012Honestly The Best Album Of 2012 Hands Down! And One Of The Greatest Album's Of ALL TIME!
I Love Her Voice, Her Lyrics Are Probably The Best I'v Heard In Along Time! -
Dec 18, 2012When I first heard the name "Lana Del Rey" I was like , whose that? I had a good friend of mine that knew her and told me to look her up. When I did, I had clicked on the first song that popped up, called "Video games." As soon as I heard the first beat, I was hooked. I recommend this to anyone who likes the indie rock style of music.
Dec 15, 2012
Dec 7, 2012i dare to say that this is the album i like the most (ever!) ALL THE SONGS ARE PERFECT! so f**ing perfect! i'd love to see Lana Del Rey live! she's on her way to be the the Indie Queen!
Nov 28, 2012
Nov 19, 2012No doubt Lana is the most overrated new generation pop star. Have to admit she's able to write good catchy songs but it's poor production and her law singers talent just ruin all the good stuff.
Nov 12, 2012Born to Die is an evocative album, so much so that I care not for whether I am hearing singles throughout, it's about how it makes you feel and very few artists today manage to move me and she does.
Nov 9, 2012Lana Del Rey was one of the ones to watch for 2012. 'Video Games' Showcased her often sad-core, baroque pop -type of style. Her debut 'Born to die', basically gives you what you kinda didn't have in mind. Lolita-esque high-pitched singing varies with Low-lifed, over dramatic deep vocals which perfectly tells a story each time. LANA! IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE :)
Nov 5, 2012
Nov 4, 2012
Oct 13, 2012It's not an incredible album, but there are many songs that catch your mind if you listen to them more than twice... without a doubt whatsoever, "Video Games" is the main attraction.
Oct 5, 2012When an album is capable of divide the critics the way "Born to Die" does, it is because something interesting about it. Perhaps, I see it as something very creative and different, she's not faking her voice, can't she sing different? And so if the whole album is similar is not because a lack of creativeness, it could be as the way to express the whole theme in the album. Don't you think?
Oct 4, 2012So good. why people don\'t like it ? it has amazig songs.
Sep 25, 2012"[Born to Die] is a creative little album. Pack with sadcore electronic synthesizers and heavy basslines, Lana's distinctive voice is also interesting. But this makes [Born to Die] a good album, its not a 'meant-to-be mainstream' album, but its a good decent collection."

Aug 29, 2012I expected a little bit more from this album, but it's still good and one million times better than Lady Gaga and other disco-s**t music passed on the radio!

Lana's Style & Vocals Are Simply Amazing! In My Opinion The Album Of The Year!
Very Underrated Album That Needs To Heard In THE USA MORE! :) -

Jul 21, 2012
Jul 13, 2012This album over is a good album, with explosive moderate success. The theme of the line is very deep and has sentimental songs to describe it with a deeper meaning. Lana's Vocals go deep, dark and gloomy to high, woozy and Lolita -ish. At It's Best it is an album ranging from controlling prostitutes to, love un-hopefuls.
Jul 12, 2012One of the most talked-about singers of 2011 and 2012 released her awaited album just for disappointing. There are a few highlights, but the down parts are most eloquent. It is a bit dull at some ways, and it's strangeness makes we feel like Lana don't believe in what she is singing. Of course, highlights I've mentioned are "National Anthem" and "Summertime Sadness".
Jul 6, 2012From the first time listeing to the album, I had my mind to Born To Die (album) all the time ! Each song has it own standout uniqueness . It's one of the best albums in 2012, for it's alternative uniqueness. Highlights: Video Games, Blue Jeans, Radio, Born To Die , Carmen and Diet Mountain Dew

Jun 27, 2012This is album is Very Important for pop music today and its history. It so different and it just has so much depth to it. The way Britney Spears' Blackout is one of pop music's most influential albums is how Born To Die will be because there is Nothing like it right now and will pave the way for artists Like Lana Del Rey. Very Well Done Lana.
Jun 26, 2012All songs sounds almost same through entire album. I enjoyed only 5 of 15: Born to Die, Blue Jeans, Video Games, Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness. You definitely should listen to it before buying.
Jun 19, 2012Exaggerated vocals, some songs are worth as "Video Games" for example, lyrics are not so much convincing, with the exception of Carmen and the production is a bit interesting. A not very nice mixture of baroque pop with a quasi-hip-hop. We could say that Lana is not yet ready to release an album, but her voice indicates a singer who can demonstrate more talent in some years.

May 20, 2012I Love this album so much. Simply can't stop playing it! The lush production, the lyrics, and especially her amazing voice put you in a trance when listening to this. The tremendous success this album is having prove that critics are wrong!!!! The general public agreed and I'm sure most of the people here as well that this is a fantastic record.
May 19, 2012
May 8, 2012Great album, great voice. I guess being different makes you weak...I thought her SNL performance was flawed only because she was nervous, not that she didnt have talent or couldnt sing. I have seen her perfom live and she was amazing.
May 2, 2012This album received lots of negative reviews-which is understandable but also quite unfair...yes it's a sad thing to look at 25-years old girl being transformed like that by plastic surgery but if you forget about her public image for a moment-you'll discover unexpectedly good pop record here.
Apr 23, 2012This is another pretentious album , that the basic **** think is going to make them look like hipsters and snobs. It's funny because the album has the same melody from the beginning to the end and it's beyond boring and most of the tracks go unnoticed. Her vocals is obviously the best thing on it, there are some ok songs like This What Makes Us Girls, Video Games, Radio and Lucky Ones.
Apr 6, 2012I must say that this is a great album, Lana del Rey is not like Lady Gaga or Britney Spears, she has her own style. The songs are powerfull and catchy.
Apr 4, 2012I love this record.
She writes 12 (deluxe 15) amazing songs on her own.
She Talks about the best and the worst time in your life.
She is a singer and songwriter,who is really in her business.
Best album of the year -
Mar 29, 2012I feel like the melodies within this album are extremely catchy. This is a good thing, because who doesn't actually like catchy? And, the beats are pretty tight. For such a slow-beat, I find myself head-knocking as I listen. Furthermore, epic. It's really epic and builds up a lot of emotions. I swear, these songs will show up in a Quentin Tarantino movie some day!
Mar 27, 2012What a lovely album! absolutely flawless from start to finish. I love her vocals. It pulls you in to the song. The overall album is very cohesive which is so rare nowadays from a pop starlet. Instead of going for hits, Lana crafted a beautiful consistent album.
Mar 27, 2012Born to Die is a pretty good debut album, even though it gets slightly boring at times. Lana's vocals are kind of limited, so consequentially, the album isn't exactly varied. It is still a good listen though. If you enjoyed Lana's first single, you shouldn't have trouble liking this. Highlights are: Video Games, Dark Paradise, Carmen, Lolita.
Mar 27, 2012The lyrics leave something to be desired, but the beautiful production and haunting melodies make up for it. However the overall melancholy feel of the record can become overwhelming. Very different, and a great first effort. Looking forward to more, Lana!
Mar 26, 2012Gorgeous, yet mystic album. The perfect debut and better than most of the albums released post 2000. Negative reviews, just because out there in our nation, there are people who don't have taste. The same ones that preached Born This way ;)
Mar 24, 2012Boring, boring, boring. I appreciate that sometimes great singers don't have to have that great of a voice, but Lana Dey Ray is just droney, bland, and horrible, as though she's trying to be different for the sake of trying to be different. I'm not sure that I can emphasize just how well the word "bland" describes this. So terrible.
Mar 23, 2012Lana Del Rey's songs are haunting. She's not the most technically accomplished singers, and it shows in her live performances, but her voice has a nice character that compliments her songs.
Mar 20, 2012This is very much a concept album with her playing the Lolita. Although the music doesn't sound anything alike, it strongly reminds me of Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville and Cursive's The Ugly Organ. All the songs are well written and interact with each other. Brilliant album. She deserves the hype.
Mar 19, 2012A very good album by Lana Del Rey. A little too long though. My favorite tracks are diet MTN Dew, Video Games, Dark Paradise, Off to the Races, and Radio.
Mar 18, 2012A high-quality album that takes you places with its rhythm and sound. The internet-hit "Born to Die" deserves extra attention, one of the best selections of alternative radios.
Mar 8, 2012I genuinely dont understand the critic reviews. This is a top class album. Amazing lyrics and beautifully, scarily sung. It is right up my street. I LOVE LANA DEL REY.
Feb 28, 2012

Feb 26, 2012She has the most amazing voice.I got amazed when i first listened to her.But some bunch of idiot normal **** comparing her with Madonna or Celine Dion,ughhh !!Learn to listen some real music.
Feb 23, 2012It has its ups and downs but I keep listening to it. I don't regret buying it. Yes, there are all kind of influences in it but it also expresses something about living in our time.

Feb 16, 2012
Feb 15, 2012If this album was by a man, I'm not sure it would be getting as much hate. There are some average lyrics but she seems to be getting **** for not being a perfect role model for the stereotypical anti man type woman.
Feb 11, 2012Lana Del Rey is beautiful beyond many ways. She shines on Born to Die, her debut album from Polydor America and Interscope Records. The title track is one of the best, as well as "Video Games", which became popular for its music video and being featured on The CW TV series Ringer. Born to Die is another great debut, amongst albums from other people (Adele, Christina Grimmie, etc.).
Feb 10, 2012
Feb 7, 2012
Feb 6, 2012This doesn't deserve all the backlash it is getting. Agreed that there are some songs sounding in similar style, but I like the style she is setting up for herself. Next album will def be stronger, you can tell she is just getting started, so, listen more than once and see that this is better than a lot of other fluff out there.
Feb 6, 2012The only thing exhausting about this album are the litany of conflicting so-called "critic" reviews it has inspired, which are really attacks on her image. This is a well-crafted, beautiful album by a girl that simply wants to write and sing. Has the music world become so snotty, so affected, that music can no longer be accepted at face value?
Feb 6, 2012Love it, im obsessed with this album, her music, her voice, her words. â
Feb 5, 2012
Feb 5, 2012The first 4 songs on the album are top notch. The rest are ok.
Some bad internet chatter beat up on her pretty good, but listening to the first 4 songs I find it hard to believe most honest critics would not be won over.
Funny how the world can turn on someone sometimes. -
Feb 5, 2012First thing I think when listening to this album: who is she trying to copy with that fake voice? Celine Dion, Dolores O'riodan, Dido? Second thing: is this the soundtrack for a really ban melodramatic movie? Third: Why is everybody talking so much about her? There's nothing special in her. And finally: she will soon be forgotten
Feb 28, 2012Spread over 12 songs, Del Rey becomes so ordinary, even bland, that no amount of little girl vocals or pouting can save her.
Feb 27, 2012Tune out the background media noise and immerse yourself. [Mar 2012, p.94]
Feb 21, 2012Confirms her as the most compelling new pop star around: half doomed romantic, half mordant cynic, with a distinctively conflicted vision of how love, fame and America work. [Mar 2012, p.94]

This week I love myself because:
- I learned who not to let into our baby-world.
- I'm prepping for the future baby... I even bought vitamins yesterday!
- I ate myself to the point of healthy over the last 8 months so we can move on with our plans for babies.
Let me explain: Shawn works in a non-climate-controlled environment and he was rocking a Jim Morrison long-hair style... until he sweat like a mammajamma yesterday. So we cut it... into a mohawk! It's his second one and I've done them both. I think he looks drool-inducingly hot.
I also am loving Mama Kitty for being so cute yesterday. I bought some baby-yarn for a project (and some yellow for me!!!) and it's nice yarn. Not the typical acrylic Red Heart I love, but it is 50% Peruvian Lama and 50% Wool. It's so SOFT and LOVERLY! And it's a beautiful gender-neutral blue. Mama also loves it... obviously.

Missouri House members endorse creation of prescription drug database
Feds say Missouri conceal weapon permit list wasn't read
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The federal Social Security Administration now says that its investigators were not able to read an electronic list of concealed gun permit holders from Missouri.
In an email Monday, a spokesman for the federal agency says it distributed incorrect information last week when it said the disk was read before it was destroyed. The agency's retraction came after Missouri Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer held a news conference Monday recounting what he had been told about the disk by the agency's inspector general.
The miscommunication highlights the confusion about an issue that has been a growing concern among Republican lawmakers. They fear gun owners' privacy rights were violated when the Missouri State Highway Patrol provided the list of permit holders to a federal investigator.
Feds dropped project after getting Missouri gun data
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Social Security Administration says one of its fraud investigators received a readable list of Missourians who have concealed-weapons permits but that the list was later destroyed.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Friday that the agent received the list in a readable format from the Missouri State Highway Patrol in January.
Patrol officials told a Missouri Senate committee Thursday the data were never accessed at the federal level because of a technical glitch. But the Social Security Administration's Office of Inspector General told The Post-Dispatch the unreadable version was sent to the agent in 2011.
The investigator was planning to check if anyone who met Missouri's mental health qualifications for a weapons permit had also sought benefits for a mental disability. But the project was dropped.
Overhaul to worker's comp database considered in Missouri
The bill given first-round approval Tuesday drew support from both Republicans and Democrats who said they hope a database will help stop people from abusing the workers' compensation system by repeatedly filing claims against employers.
Senators said employers already can get information on an applicant's workers' compensation claim. But must do so in writing, which can take a couple weeks. They said an online database could speed up the hiring process, benefiting both workers and bosses.
The state Division of Workers' Compensation says an online database initially would include 554,000 claim records, with about 13,000 records added annually.

Unlike most types of Chinese Tea that's taste and aroma fade with age, Dark Tea actually improves with age, making it a favorite with collectors and investors. Commonly misinterpreted as "Black Tea", this type of tea is completely different from English black tea. In the past, this type of tea was the most exported tea in China. It was shipped as far away as Russia. Originally sold as loose leaf tea, producers quickly found that if they compressed the tea into cakes it would store and ship better. Loose leaf tea is available, but it is not as common as compressed tea which comes in several different shapes, some of them quite artistic. Dark Tea was invented by accident. Tea from Yunnan Province was often shipped was shipped north via the sea and then along the Silk Road. While riding in boats, the humid air caused a chemical reaction in the dried tea leaves causing them to ferment. People found that the fermented leaves had a wonderfully strong aroma and that the leaves lasted much longer than the tea they had been expecting.
Processing When the leaves are picked, they are fried, kneaded and twisted, but instead of being dried as Green Tea is, the leaves are sprinkled with water and placed in huge piles under cloth to ferment before being dried. The resulting leaves have a dark black color, giving this category of tea its name. The fermentation process is extremely exacting and a closely guarded secret. Only a Tea Master after decades of study is considered good enough to produce this tea. Once brewed, the liquid has a strong aroma with a thick and robust flavor. It is very different from Green Tea. The most famous variety of this category of tea is the famous Puer Tea from Yunnan Province. For many years Puer Tea was not widely drunk in China and was shipped to areas with large Ethnic Minority populations. In recent years the popularity of Puer Tea has surged and the market became extremely competitive. Since these teas improve with age, and since until recently the economic conditions of China did not allow for people to save tea, older tea is rare and extremely valuable. Click here to go to our Puer Tea page Purchasing Dark Tea Since this tea improves with age, it is actually desirable to purchase older teas. This makes purchasing this tea quite easy because you do not have to worry about a shelf-life. If you are purchasing your tea from a shop, ask to try the tea. The shop should be more than happy to allow you to sample his teas. Try different types of tea and choose the one that you like the best. Many times a dealer will tell you which tea is better, or rarer, or older. We feel it doesn't matter. What matters is your individual taste. If an old, extremely rare tea doesn't suit your palate, then it isn't a good tea for you. Most Dark Teas come in compressed shapes such as Bricks, Cakes, Bowls, or Mushrooms. The original function of the shapes was to ease in shipping since they could be stacked much more secure than loose leaves could. Bricks and cakes are more popular for storing because they are not as tightly packed as the others, which helps them to mature better. If you are purchasing your teas simply to drink, then the shape doesn't matter. If you are purchasing your teas online, find a reputable dealer with a solid guarantee. Check their website. If they seem to know a lot about tea and can offer many varieties, then it is likely that they know their business well.
Storing Dark Tea Storing Dark teas are easier than Yellow, White, and Green Teas because they have a shelf life. Since this tea does not and in fact improves with age, it is still imperative that you store it properly. The teas should be stored in a cool dark place with constant humidity and heat. They should not be wrapped in plastic because air in necessary for the aging process. A closet shelf is a good place to store the tea as long as it has no strong odors. The tea will absorb the odors and ruin the tea. Try to avoid excess moisture because it will cause the tea to mold.
Enjoying the Tea This type of tea has a strong and robust flavor. It is recommended for people new to this type of tea that they begin by making the tea a little weak and then strengthening it to a point where they like it. If you are used to Green Tea, this tea will give you a surprise. It is rich and full bodied. The leaves can be brewed many times and the flavor will leave a long lasting aftertaste in your mouth. As I have said with all types of tea; it is important that you focus on the tea when drinking it. In this modern age, our lives are so rushed, that we gulp our drinks and go on our way. Tea should be slowly enjoyed to bring out its complicated flavors. I am not saying that you should set aside an hour to drink a cup of tea, what I am saying is that for the brief moment that you are drinking your tea, focus on the tea. Let the hectic fast paced world we live in fade away and for that one moment experience calm. You will be amazed at how much of a stress reliever drinking tea this way can be.
Types of Dark Tea There are many types of Dark Tea. Here we will delve into the different varieties, their histories, cultures and legends. You will learn about their unique processing techniques, and where they are produced. We feel that learning more about the teas we drink add to the whole tea experience. How to Brew Dark Tea There are many ways to brew these teas. There are simple and quick ways and also beautiful tea ceremonies that are elegant and refined. We will show you the different ways to brew these teas and the tools used. Dark Tea Health Benefits It is common knowledge that Green Tea has many health benefits, but most people do not realize how healthy Dark Tea is also. The many health benefits of Dark Tea has surprised researchers. Dark Tea for Sale We offer fantastic teas for sale. We have been drinking and collecting DarkTeas for years which allow us to offer a great variety of teas. As with all of our teas, we are very particular about our Dark Teas and only offer teas we ourselves would drink. We feel we would rather lose money than lose your trust, so all of our teas are genuine and purchased directly from the producers.

Hey Blackjack
Thanks for the response--it must be kind of a strange (perhaps really cool?) feeling that SOOO many people on these boards feel like they "know" your character through the story hours. I know that I've spent a lot of time reading them. You guys must have a blast when you play. I for one will continue to steal for the benefit of my game.
Thanks loadsFor the morning will come. Brightly it will shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn. -WSC 10/21/40

ø Ignore VaydenOff-topic, but Malachite was a great character man. True paladin, not a Miko-style stick-up-the-butt class feature, but at the same time, always felt really really close to taking the smiting just a BIT too far and falling. (Haven't read his early years, just the White Kingdom part of the storyhour, but still very enjoyable). Congrats.
I for one welcome our 5e overlords.

ø Ignore SagiroRun #2 of Piratecat's Capria game was tonight. Great fun, unsurprisingly.
A quick plot-summary: we embarked on a mission to hunt down and (presumably) kill a legendary "dog gobbler" that was plaguing a nearby halfling river-village. Several dogs had vanished from homes in the past few days, and so we, fresh recruits of the Grey Guard, were sent to investigate.
On arrival, we discovered that, during the two day canoe trip to reach the village, an actual halfling baby had been kidnapped (silently, while the parents were sleeping in the same small hut), and a baby-sized doll-like construct made of twigs and reeds had been left in its place.
In the course of investigating the crime scene, we ended up in a combat with the doll. It had some brutal ability that did significant damage merely by dint of being examined. (We initially thought it was contact poison, but it turned out to be some kind of psychic attack). Even thinking about it and keeping track of its whereabouts required checks. Still, after some fumbling around and taking psychic damage, we found it hiding under a bed. We flipped the bed over and pummeled it to "death," though not before taking more psychic damage, and with the stick-doll confusing Dr. Caldwell into stabbing Cobalt with his rapier. (Over the course of the encounter, Cobalt was reduced from 24 to 9 hit points, without the thing ever making an obvious attack roll. Sheesh!)
That night, having posted guards (and with all village babies kept in the town hall under PC watch), the paladin Toiva noticed a shadow down in the water. After sounding the alert for the rest of the party to wake, she Challenged the whatever-it-was and jumped into the shallow water to confront it. Turns out "it" is actually several "its," small but with huge mouths full of teeth. PCat left us on a cliffhanger – Toiva surrounded by monsters with the rest of us charging out to join the battle. We hope the paladin survives until we arrive!
It was another fairly rules-light game, with just the one small combat, and lots of perception rolls. Now, granted, we're investigating a crime, so Perception is clearly the prominent skill here. But, combining this game and the previous game, we've easily made more Perception rolls than all other skill-roll types combined. There's nothing wrong with PCat's adventure design, mind you – I'd guess it's more to do with our play style, though it'll be interesting to see if and how other skills become relevant. (My character's Perception roll is a "-1," but I can still assist, which is most of what I did.) For the record, we also made checks this run for Insight, Nature, Streetwise, Stealth and Arcana. Oh, and Bluff, as part of impromptu rules for playing cards. Bluff and Insight checks were rolled for each participant, and combined into a "how well are you playing tonight" composite score. Nifty and sensible.
The combat was less than two rounds long, though intense. I used an Action Point and my Encounter power, while the paladin used her Daily Power. (And I did manage to score a hit this game... hooray!) I had a 28 initiative score, so on the first round, going first, I used a standard action to flip the bed out of the way, and my Action Point to attack with Torturous Strike. I hit, and with the Sneak Attack damage from being a rogue going first, did 18 points of damage. (And my die rolls were crap – 4, 2, 1 and 1 on 2d8+2d4) Toiva actually missed with her Radiant Delirium, but even her half-damage was significant. A third hit from either Logan or Dr. Caldwell (can't recall whom) finished it off.
Figuring that we'd likely only have one (at most) more combat before getting extended rest, we surged ourselves back to full after the battle. Cobalt had to use 3 of his 7 surges during and after the fight -- I suspect the others had to use one or two.
Also, after the battle, our Grey Guard cloak pins -- made of some mystery-substance called "Witch-water," glowed with power, and became +1 cloak pins (neck slot) -- woot! (And a very cool way to deliver a treasure parcel.)
Oh, and I almost forgot -- before we set out, our Commander gave us each a book-standard Healing Potion, which I'm guessing will be largely consumed before the night is over.
Still nothing but positives to report – the little combat was brisk and exciting, the role-playing was entirely unhindered, and the skill checks were plentiful and meaningful. We haven't yet delved into a bunch of secondary systems (Rituals, Diseases, stuff like that), and our two fights thus far have been against single foes, though that part is clearly about to change!Last edited by Sagiro; Thursday, 23rd October, 2008 at 08:58 PM.

ø Ignore PiratecatI think the hefty perception checks go hand in hand with (a) an investigation, and (b) encountering foes who are stealthy by nature. The PCs did quite a bit of aiding one another, with four of the heroes aiding the one person who had the best scores. It resulted in some fairly impressive DCs at 1st level, including a DC 28 perception roll at one point. Not too shabby.
This session was my attempt at experimenting with a "I-thought-this-was-lame-at-first" monster. The bundle of sharpened river-sticks, mud and reeds that they fought was a clay scout homunculus (spoiler in place for the moment for Sagiro and my players) that had a different appearance. It looked more like the stick bundles from the Blair Witch Project, and never explicitly moved when anyone was looking at it. That gave it a creepier, more mysterious feel than I had originally expected.
I'm finding that my players have requested overhead area maps of their locations at both sessions so far. This is clearly something that I'm going to need to start preparing with more frequency. In both cases so far I've already had a mental image of the towns, so it hasn't been a problem to just sketch it out on a note card. I think there's some benefit to preparing these, though. It may be worth doing something formal for Floodford, the town they'll spend quite a bit of time in.
While this game featured less combat, it had quite a bit of character development from everyone but Stront (whose player is ill and who slept instead of gaming.) I treasure these moments.- Piratecat, EN World Admin. Now Kickstarting TimeWatch, a time travel game - please go check it out!

So are you guys using a battlemat and minis/counters? I know from talking with you and playing your games, that you trend away from using them, PC. But 4e is designed with them in mind so I wondered if you are using them for this campaign. Granted, the combats thus far could easily have been handled without them. Just curious.

ø Ignore wedgeskiPerception has been far and away the most dominant skill check in my 4E campaign as well... much to the chagrin of my players, who don't have a decent Perception score between them. This is a situation I'm sure one of them will rectify soon. Cool update!

ø Ignore SagiroAn additional note about the stick doll monster: because it was a (seemingly) inanimate doll, and because at first we thought it was damaging us via contact poison while we handled it, the thing managed to get in several psychic attacks before the PC's even knew there was a combat going on!. So, basically, it got something like 4 or 5 free attacks on us before we even thought to roll initiative.
I see on the wiki that the "Bundle of sharpened riversticks" was a level 2 Lurker, but it did much more damage to the party than the level 4 Soldier Crocodile from the previous combat. Damn you Piratecat!

ø Ignore Plane Sailingme too. It is so much less hassle when some or your players are sleeping, at least that is what I've always found
I love the repurposing of the clay scout. It sounded really nifty. The business about not moving while being watched reminded me of one at the greatest new Dr Who episodes, called "Blink"Plane Sailing

Chronic Dog Diarrhea
Chronic Dog Diarrhea
Chronic dog diarrhea refers to
- diarrhea with at least any one or a combination of these symptoms:
- Blood coated stools
- Mucus coated stools
- Watery stools
- A soft stool followed after a normal stool.
- Continuous persisting diarrhea
- Dog acting sick while facing severe bouts of diarrhea where others seem normal
- Diarrhea that occurs on and off with some good days and some bad days
- Due to continuous diarrhea dogs may lack energy of life as before, lose weight, become lazy and develop a rough coat.
Dog diarrhea that persists for a long duration can be a devastating disorder as by time the body loses precious nutrients (maldigestion), immune system becomes weak and depleted, and also develops toxic compounds as 25% of the body's natural detoxification systems are present in the intestinal lining. So many adverse effects on the body affect the body's natural ability to heal itself and many other secondary disorders begin to root and further worsen the prognosis. As the body is going through all these chronic damages, there is almost no immunity function and metabolic product to repair the intestinal damage. And all this results in a series of deterioration that gets impossible to reverse back.
The usual medicines prescribed are not very useful at this stage, at it usually centers at specific symptoms only such as feeding the dog with light and bland foods referred to as "hypoallergenic diets". This may aid for a period but as the body requires its essential complex nutrients to rebuild itself a lot of which are harmed by the processing involved in commercial dog foods.
Also conventional veterinarian prescriptions rely heavily on antibiotics coupled with immune suppressive drugs which may prove effecting for a short period of time and by time the condition of the dog worsens. At these stages Holistic therapies are known to cure the dog better.
The many causes of chronic dog diarrhea include
- Intestinal parasites such as whip worms and in some cases roundworms and coccidian. Tapeworms are generally considered harmless.
- Leaky gut syndrome
- Food allergies that result due to leaky gut syndrome
- Giardia, bacteria, clostridium are also all secondary types of infections
- Organic diseases such as kidney, liver and thyroid diseases
- Digestion of uneatable such as sticks and stones
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Dysbiosis ( development of a single intestinal microbial to an abnormally larger fungal, bacterial or protozoan population.)
As is evident by all the stated facts here that there are multiple problems that are suffered by the dog of this disease, for severe cases visiting a holistic doctor is recommended though some help can be taken from facts mentioned above. Remember, if your dog suffered from chronic dog diarrhea, please bring him/her to get treatment as soon as possible.

Have you ever borrowed an e-book from a library? If the answer is no, you're a member of a large majority. A survey out Thursday from the Pew Internet Project finds that only 5 percent of "recent library users" have tried to borrow an e-book this year.
About three-quarters of public libraries offer e-books, according to the American Library Association, but finding the book you want to read can be a challenge — when it's available at all.
For the Druids, mistletoe was sacred. For us, it's a cute ornament and maybe an excuse to steal a kiss. And of course it's a Christmas tradition.
But for a forest, mistletoe might be much more important. It's a parasite, shows up on tree branches and looks like an out-of-place evergreen bush hanging in the air.

An Arizona ski resort is making snow for the first time this year, ending more than seven years' worth of legal battles over its snowmaking system, which relies entirely upon treated wastewater to coat its slopes when the snowfall has been uneven.
The resort, Arizona Snowbowl, has long been a target of American Indian tribes, who say it defiles sacred land. Critics have also said the snowmaking system might threaten an endangered plant. The resort sits on more than 700 acres of land that it leases from the U.S. Forest Service.

Amid all of the news coverage of the Newtown school shooting, a wrinkle has emerged. The statements and actions of journalists miles away from Connecticut have stirred up controversy.
As we hear from NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik, some journalists have thrust themselves into the middle of the story about guns.
Opinion polls show 2012's extreme weather — producing wildfires, floods and drought — has more people making a connection with climate change. For Marti Andrews in southern New Jersey, a turning point was the summer's hurricane-like derecho.
"I don't want to say I freaked out about it, but holy crap, it scared me," she says. It packed winds up to 90 miles per hour and nonstop lightning, which Andrews says looked like some wild disco display in the sky.
"I've never seen anything like that," she says. "I sat there on the couch thinking, 'Oh my God, we're all gonna die!' "

The question "what do readers want?" has hovered over any media business worth its advertising revenue for years, but in 2012, it took on more urgency. Any item worth its pixels this year was built for sharing, for posting on Twitter or in friends' Facebook newsfeeds and multiplexing from there. Sometimes these shareable pieces would dig deeply into a topic with a new perspective; more often they would play off already-existing biases, asserting them or proudly acting the contrarian.

ADM serves Car Dealers, Automotive Marketing Pros and Internet Sales Managers
Here I was sitting in a landing page optimization course and the first thing they did was throw a formula at me. C=4m+3v+2(i-f)-2a.Thankfully, it really wasn't a mathematical formula, just a conversion sequence that helped you visualize conversion. Dr. Flint McGlaughlin the founder of MECLABS, the world's largest independent research institution focused on offer response optimization, was standing in front of the class saying, "You don't optimize websites; you optimize thought sequences. Say it with me, C=4m+3v+2(i-f)-2a."
What goes in that landing page optimization formula you say?
He went on to say that the sales funnel we all know and love is actually upside down, "The value proposition is the fundamental force powering your prospects up the sales funnel," he added.
This can be measured by four essential elements of offer:
In order to express your value proposition on the Web, you must have congruence (having every element of your page state or support your proposition) and continuity (making sure that every step of the buying process states or supports the proposition).
I know I can't say it as best as Dr. McGlaughlin can, so I found a video where he discusses the value proposition in better detail.
Got it? Good. Next was incentives. The object of incentives is to balance emotional forces from negative to positive. To determine your ideal incentive you must consider: marketing intuition, perceived value differential,and return on incentive. Here is another video in which Dr. McGlaughlin discusses these elements
Next Dr. McGlaughlin spoke about friction and anxiety. Friction, in marketing, is the psychological resistance to a given element in the sales process. Anxiety, in other words, is like concern, but it is just as lethal as friction. To get a better idea of these two elements, click here.
What does this mean for you?
If your Website isn't optimized properly, you're losing customers. Dr.McGlaughlin showed us case studies where there was a 200% increase in capturing lead information by simply adjusting elements of their website. Take a look at the links presented above to better optimize your website, you won't regret it.
With this information presented to me I had to take a 50 question test to get certified in landing page optimization. I passed, would you?
To read more insightful topics, read our blog!
There is an art to it, Dr. McGlaughlin ripped apart landing pages that the audience submitted for review and sitting there I never thought it was so intricate. He also spoke of case studies that got a 200% increase in leads.
If you ever have the chance to attend a Marketing Sherpa Conference, go for it! I learned a lot from it. =)
Ketty, one of the best articles I've read in some time. This has actually caused me to reevaluate our own products and services and put everything we do through some hard testing. Really great thought provoker!
Thanks Ketty.
This is equally true with Facebook business pages. With the timeline feature, you can no longer direct your visitors to an internal marketing tab. You must optimize everything to capture your visitors attention and entice them to like your page and opt in to your list if you intend on making the most of their first (and 90% of the time "last") visit to your page.
Look at what some of the following companies are doing to entertain and capture their visitors.

nick eustis, Florida 8/31/2013 2:40:32 PM I bought my dog one of the kong toys and she shred that thing in about an hour
Diane Spiro, Oklahoma 8/30/2013 9:33:09 PM What is the best ball for an English Bully? He can peel a basket ball or soccer ball like an orange.
liantsim Waterloo, IA 4/13/2013 12:27:16 PM Kong rubber toys have lasted my dog, who is a tough chewer, for years. She also has a Hurley, which is tough, but she doesn't really enjoy playing with it. I'm going to try out some of these other brands. 90% of the toys I buy her only last 30 minutes, especially stuffed toys. Kyjen Invincibles were a joke.
Zoey Indianapolis, IN 9/14/2011 9:53:21 PM I have had the best luck with Kong & Nylabone. My lab loved them and I now have a Pitbull mix that is an intense chewer/shredder. Nothing of the fabric/rope varieties stands a chance, and even rawhides (large ones) only last a matter of minutes to hours. So it's hard to find a stimulating variety of toys for my younger dog. I haven't tried all these brands, because I can usually tell it will be a waste of money. But I will happily vouch for Kong & Nylabone. She's had the same ones for months of those, but still manages to rip pieces off with her front teeth.
