An Irrational Financial Act
- Friday, April 06, 2012
Forbes magazine may seem an unlikely place for an article about charitable giving. After all, Forbes is all about business and making money. But there it was. Under the headline "Irrational Act," publisher Rich Karlgaard wrote not just about giving, but about tithing, the biblical principle of giving 10 percent of one's income.
He told about a friend — "educated and rational," who earned a high income, but could never save any of it. Raised in a strict church that required payment of the tithe with the same level of humor and grace the IRS uses in requiring payment of our taxes, not surprisingly, his friend had drifted away from the church.
Now in middle age, with two degrees from prestigious universities and a thriving career, Karlgaard's friend found himself in church once more. There he heard another message about tithing. But this time it wasn't a finger-wagging lecture; it was a simple, compelling promise: give 10 percent and you will be free from financial worry.
That day he and his wife decided to take the minister up on his challenge. "Almost immediately," Karlgaard wrote, "a mysterious transformation took place." Besides giving 10 percent of their income to charity, the couple found they were able to start saving 10 percent as well — they call it "the 10-10-80 rule": give 10 percent, save 10 percent, and live on the rest.
Karlgaard also wrote about another friend who said tithing helped turn down "the decibel level" of his life. "Every possession speaks to you," he explained. "Everything you own wants attention. When I began to tithe, I found a freedom from my possessions. I don't hold on to things as tightly any more."
Of all the things we can do with money, giving it away seems completely, utterly irrational, doesn't it? It just doesn't compute that increased giving would somehow make it easier to save money, right? And freedom? Doesn't that come from a focus on accumulating as much as we can?
It turns out that generosity is a key component of what it means to use money well, and that's why the fourth of my 11 principles for simple, meaningful success is: Give Some Away.
Here are three reasons why.
Generosity is Part of Our Design
The Bible says we were each made in God's image, and since God is infinitely generous, that means generosity is woven into the fabric of our spiritual DNA.
When we don't give, or give only token amounts, or give from a sense of guilt or obligation, we deprive ourselves of one of life's great joys. But when we give generously with grateful hearts, we live in concert with our design. It's no wonder that generous people are generally happier and find life more meaningful than those who are not generous.
Generosity Reminds Us of Our Priorities
The Bible says, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21). I remember a time when my wife, Jude, wanted to give some money to a friend doing missionary work in a country that I wasn't sure I could find it on a map. Up to that time, I never thought of that country. It just wasn't on my radar screen.
However, after we started sending some money there, I noticed every time the country was in the news. And I took great interest in each letter Jude's friend wrote about her work.
My heart went there because some of our money was going there.
Giving regularly and generously to support God's work in the world is a very powerful way to keep our hearts focused on God.
Generosity Leads to Blessings
I am very confident that giving in order to get something from God is nothing less than an affront to God. I want nothing to do with the prosperity gospel.

The Tennessee Volunteers have been engaged in a numbers game for quite some time, with their rather large 2014 recruiting class.
The numbers started to make a bit more sense on Tuesday night when Vol commit Jerome Dews announced on Twitter that he would not be enrolling at Tennessee this fall, but rather enrolling at a prep school.
I do have to go to Atlanta Sports Academy (Prep School) for 5 months before I go to Tennessee #Volnation
— Jerome Dews (@_RomeHEEM) February 4, 2014
There was some speculation that Dews might not sign on Wednesday, thus his spot as a Vol wouldn't be guaranteed in 2015, but according to Dews' Twitter he still plans on signing tomorrow.
Signing at 8:40 tomorrow
— Jerome Dews (@_RomeHEEM) February 5, 2014
Dews will effectively be an early enrollee to the Vols' 2015 class, meaning he's considered a gray-shirt this upcoming season.
His scholarship won't count toward this year's total.
Dews is a three-star Athlete from Oxon Hill, MD. He also had offers from Purdue, James Madison and Temple, among several others.

I have read and respected your reviews for years, so I am have difficulty reconciling two things: (A) the silver award and (B) "The OLED display on the AW110 looks great when you're indoors. It's bright, vibrant, and has a wide viewing angle. But, as mentioned above, the one on the back of the AW110 is nearly impossible to use outdoors, and not much better underwater, which is disappointing on a camera designed to be used in those situations. "
Where else would you use a rugged camera except outdoors or underwater? If you can't see the display, in the absence of any other viewfinder, how do you compose a picture? It strikes me that inability to see to compose a picture is as close as you can get in any camera, let alone a rugged camera, to a fatal flaw in the camera's design.
I get that the Nikon and the TG2 have a lot of other virtues, but lack of a decent way of composing an image strikes me as a very serious problem.
I saw no mention of Picasa. It's free, ubiquitous, and does a fine job at a rudimentary level.
I think Easycass has pretty well nailed it by including just about everything I would want:
- dial for shutter with auto setting
- dial for aperture with auto setting
- dial for ISO with auto setting
- weather proofing
- quick autofocus but the ability to do manual focus with focus assist button
- fast lens
- good zoom range
- ability to fit protective filter and/or add-on tele lens
- ability to use AA batteries in a pinch
- reasonably compact
- a button to highlight the controls
As a fulltime freelance writer who often shoots photos to illustrate his stories, I use small-sensor cameras (FZ150 and G12) professionally. I have had hundreds of pictures published and not once has an editor complained about photo quality. Unless you know that you are going to be making very large prints, I think in many cases large sensors are simply not needed. Recently I covered an event with two cameras, and an ultrabook, and the bag weighed less than a DSLR and 2 lenses.
Jon Stern: This is the G-series camera I always wanted.
I can't believe the whingeing in these comments. The specs are well balanced for what it is. As with any point and shoot, it's designed to give you everything you need 99% of the time.
If you want 24mm and F2.0, buy a CSC and spend a couple of grand on the body and a series of lenses, and deal with the pros and cons of that (pros = flexibility, cons = having to carry several lenses and swap them out at times). Or you could buy an X100 (as I did) and deal with the limitations of that.
I don't expect any camera with this level of portability to replace my full-frame DSLR, but something that doesn't have me filled with regret every time I leave the SLR at home and see a great shot opportunity sounds like a good compromise. The G1 X looks like it might just keep me happy in those situations.
At $799 it sounds like a bargain to me (don't tell Canon).
For $799 this seems like a bargain to me (don't tell Canon I said that).
I agree with you, and for virtually the same reasons you enumerate. This is a G12 on steroids, very nearly as good (IMHO) as an X100 without the limitations or eccentricities.
I am a fulltime freelance writer who shoots photos often to illustrate stories or blogs. I couldn't afford a Leica, the X100 is too limited. the new X camera looks a winner but too rich for my blood, and the mirrorless cam systems don't really bring anything that you can't get better and very nearly as portable in a small SLR. (And I don't want the hassle and weight of an SLR system.)
Provided Canon didn't bugger something up, it looks to me like they hit a home run.

The #FinTech Sector Helps Banks and Credit Unions
I was reminiscing about some of the venture capital funded financial services related startups that I have been a fan of after reading the July 25, 2014 article "Here's What Banks and VCs Talk About" by Bank Innovation reporter Ian Kar. Ian opened his article with the following: "While it may not seem like it, banks talk to venture capitalists focused on financial technology on a regular basis. What about? Startups, of course."
I am a huge fan of the FinTech space. I have been a big fan since the last century. I opened my first bank account at an internet only bank in the late 1990's. Do any of you remember Compubank?
Compubank was among the first group of internet only banks. In 2001 they were purchased by NetBank, another internet only bank. My account remained there until the bank failed and was purchased by ING Direct which is now Capital One bank. Along the way I became fans of PayPal, Yodlee, CashEdge, Geezeo, Wesabe, Mint, Thrive, Andera, Prosper, Clairmail, Xero, Banno, Continuity Control and a bunch of others. Some of these companies survived and some did not. Many of these companies partner with banks and credit unions to extend the products and services they currently offer. Some of these companies were purchased by core banking providers and have become integrated directly into banks and credit unions computer systems. These companies have excelled at providing new and advanced technologies for consumers and businesses.
Lately, much of the hype around venture capital funded FinTech companies is around disintermediating banks. It seems that since the recent financial crisis, the rhetoric has worsened. For example, Marc Andreessen, co-founder of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, has been "dying" to fund a disruptive bank. This is his tweet from February 2014:
@cdixon @JackGavigan @Kwdmiller @aweissman I am dying to fund a disruptive bank.— Marc Andreessen (@pmarca)February 9, 2014
All the VC interest in the FinTech space is great for banks and credit unions of all sizes. It allows them to get access to new technology that they can use to service their customers better. Some of these VC backed companies do compete in some segments of the financial services industry. Competition is good for all parties concerned.
As we continue to become more of a mobile device centric culture, these companies are helping banks and credit unions engage with their customers with these devices. Some of my favorite FinTech companies are:
- Andera (purchased by BottomLine Technologies 2014) - Andera implemented a mobile first approach to opening retail deposit accounts for banks and credit unions.
- Banno (purchased by Jack Henry & Associates (2014) - Banno designs and builds responsive web sites for banks and credit unions. Additionally, Banno also has developed a leading mobile banking product for banks and credit unions called Grip.
- CashEdge (purchased by Fiserv 2011) - CashEdge is the company who created the person-to-person (P2P) payment service called Popmoney. You can setup your account here.
- Geezeo - Geezeo is an early pioneer in the PFM space. Early in their history they pivoted their business model and now provide a white label Personal Financial Management platform to banks and credit unions. They also offer native mobile PFM and a comprehensive API.
My favorite resource for learning about FinTech companies is the Finovate website and conference. They archive the video of every FinTech demo from all of their conferences. This Fall they return to New York City. Fiserv and Geezeo will be presenting. I am really looking forward to Geezeo's live demo as they will be showcasing their Business Financial Management solution. To see who else is demoing at Finovate Fall 2014, goto the presenters link here.
I look forward to the FinTech community continuing its focus on bringing more innovation to the space so that banks and credit unions can buy it or compete against it so that the users of financial services benefit.

Facing up to parallelism
It is, perhaps, one of those forgotten facts that computing is still a relatively young technology, made all the more poignant by the realisation that many of the people driving the High Performance Computing (HPC) business, like Burton Smith, Microsoft's technical fellow in charge of advanced strategies and policies for the …
InterNetworking Computer Grid Systems ... The Quantum OS
"while atomic memory transactions implement dependence awkwardly. The use of such technologies in mainstream computing is new ground and he acknowledged that atomic memory transaction technology already has critics claiming it is doomed to be too slow. He also pointed out that this was still to be shown as a permanent condition."
"implement dependence awkwardly"? Is that the same as registration of assets is measured and personally cultivated for faultless performance? How very wise in any NEUKlearer Situation.
"As Smith observed: "Although operations seldom commute with respect to state, transactions give us commutativity with respect to the invariant, and it would be nice if the invariants were available to the compiler if programmers can provide them readily.""
..... Sounds just like a Singularly Sophisticated Swingers Site.... A Virtual Reality Pioneers Home Base Honey Store/Arsenal. AI Virgin Venture for CyberIntelAIgents.....
""We have to rethink the basics of computing, but thanks to HPC we have a good starting point. It does mean, however, that many applications will have to be re-modeled and re-engineered from the strategy downwards."" .... thus to reinvent them as a Beta Mirror Image of Parallel Paths and Processes, which will also, Co Laterally increase processor power/activity at Zero Cost? ...... as RSS/Cookie type Feeds refine Enrichment of Information into Intelligence and to ITs CyberIntelAIgent Feed Facilities.
Which would Actually be a whole new Root Server System, NeuReal Server System
AI Quantum Server......in AI Coalition of the Ready, Willing and S.M.A.R.T.er Enabled 4Peer2Peer Ennoblement/Stock Enrichment?
Hah, pipes weren't even mentioned. No wonder M$ had a large interest in the ``conference''.
Been there, done that.
It's called "re-entrant" code. Had your boffins spent any time in the big iron mainframe world you'd know it's been in place since the mid 70's. Why is it that the micro-heads always think they've come up with something new when it's been in place for over a quarter century in the mainframe world?
Ditto for workload management. Cutting edge in the micro world, but old-hat on the mainframes.
It's a shame that the cultural and "religious" differences between mainframers and micro-heads prevents building upon previous knowledge like you normally see in any other scientific discipline. Tsk, Tsk.......
Problems solved for over 30 years
Over three decades ago all of these parallel programming problems were solved. Nothing new in the interim, here. Even the 8086 went multi-processor on the Intel development stations. Once again its all a lot of pandering to lazy programmers who can't be bothered to read available literature. Take a browse in a good bookstore sometime. (Has anybody noticed how closely ML languages resemble Jackson Design Methodology?)
Bloody typical
He's there to talk about HPC, but having taken the Microsoft Schilling, a dig at Apple has to be included doesn't it.
"This is what I call the Apple approach, where a great new technology is introduced with not much thought given to the pain it might cause users of an earlier technology. But we have to take existing users with us."
Now I'm not a Mac user, never have been, probably never will be, but one thing I do know is that through the two radical changes of processor architectures, Apple have provided excellent backwards compatibility for applications and migration paths for developers.
Microsoft on the other hand have been on the same architecture from day 1, and you are extremely luck if you don't have to start again from scratch with every new version of Developer Studio and associated cruddy class library or ill thought out framework.
There are further languages in the field
When mentioning NIAL and SISAL, SAC needs to be mentioned, as well. SAC (or Single Assignment C, www.sac-home.org) produces efficient parallel code from seemingly sequential program specifications. They have several case studies on their website, suggesting that SAC yields very competitive if not better runtimes than code produced by modern fortran compilers.

NO DISCUSSION OF MIDCENTURY LANDSCAPING IS COMPLETE without including the famous pink flamingo lawn ornaments designed by Don Featherstone. According to my online research, Featherstone is an artist who sculpted 750 products for Union Products, Inc., in Leominster, Mass., starting in 1956. He sculpted the iconic pink flamingos in 1957. They were based on National Geographic images, and they went on the market in 1958. The taller one is 30″ tall when staked into the ground. Read on for more history — and how to still buy these today!
Featherstone actually rose to lead the company. He retired in 2000, and still resides in Fitchburg, Mass. — where he reportedly has 57 of his flamingos on his front lawn. Also, Wikipedia says that he and his wife have dressed alike for more than 28 years. My goodness, I need to visit, these two are folks after my own heart!
Unfortunately, Union Products closed in 2006 – but fortunately, a year later a company named HHC International purchased the famous flamingo molds. It produces from them today in Westmoreland, NY. I remember that there was a ton of news media attention on this story at the time.
You can buy original reproduction flamingo ornaments for $15.99 (a good price, I think) from my Amazon Favorites store — Click to buy it here.
There's also a book written by Don Featherstone himself. Maybe a good one for the sun porch, or the guest bathroom? Buy it here.
go to cadocompany.com , they have purchased orginal rights to the pink flamigo mold.
A lot of HOA's (Homeowner's Associations …our old one in Myrtle Beach comes to mind) have banned these flamingos from neighborhoods. I appreciate your efforts to save the flamingo before it becomes an endangered species!
I am an HOA manager, and I decry the efforts of some control freaks to ban personal expressions of beauty and whimsy. HOAs allow potted plants & flowers, so why not lawn ornaments? They aren't permanent, and do not constitute an architectural change, for which permission would be required. I, for one, think we could use more whimsy in our world, and in our lives. Here in Denver, they built a big blue bear on the east side of the convention center, and he is peering in at the occupants. There is also a statue of 2 skinny figures, about 20 ft. tall, dancing on the lawn in front of the Performing-Arts Center. Whenever I see these, a smile comes to my face. They just evoke positive feelings, the same ones I get when I drive down a street and see flamingos.
I guess I have always thought of pink flamingos as a very fun but perhaps bit too much for me type of thing, but the fact that they are still being made from the original molds, and in the USA to boot, have made me look at them in a whole new way. I really enjoyed the history lesson on the birds too, very fun reading. I think there is a fine line between delightful mid-century whimsy and kitsch but I may have to throw caution to the wind and let a few of these creatures loose on my lawn this year.

Mii's Bridal Salon Inc

This is a very small bouquet. My MOH and I went in one day a little before closing to check out their dresses and little did we know 30 minutes later I would be purchasing a Mori Lee right off the rack. Being plus sized it's really hard to find dresses that fit you but isn't the same dress you see every other plus sized girl wearing (like Davids' dresses) I wanted something unique but a little form fitting. The consultant was wonderful and helped me find my dress in minutes. I had tried on over 30 dresses before coming into this store. Not only did they make me feel beautiful not once did I ever feel bad about my size. Unlike one boutique that had to just hold dresses up to my body! So I would totally say if you are looking for plus sizes dresses you should check them out!

The people here are all very nice and my dress was a great price and absolutely beautiful!! Mii is also amazing at alterations and making your dress perfect on you. My only complaint was that I was told my dress would be in in 5 months and it took almost 7 months to get it in. Luckily Mii was able to rush the alterations and it turned out great the day of. Order your dress early if you are ordering from here.

The owners are RUDE!!! They are extremely unorganized and are a total rip-off. If you are going to spend the same amount of money, as if you were to spend at a nice boutique and get great service and good quality then don't even consider this place. They are beyond the meaning of rude. They loose receipts and harass you to pay twice for receipts they misplace. If you want to waist your time have a bad experience and throw your money away, then this is the place for you. Honestly they are as pricey as any other place and a $20 difference isn't worth the stress with these people.

I found a beautiful dress at Mii's at a fraction of the cost of other salons. However, this is by no means a full service bridal salon. The staff is not very responsive- I had to call several times and leave several voicemails before I spoke to an actual person. The delivery date of my dress was delayed because of the "special length", which I was informed the day my dress was orginally scheduled to be delivered, not when I made the purchase. I ordered it early enough that it was not a problem, but had I been on a tighter schedule, it would have been a cause for concern. I would NOT reccomend getting alterations done. There is a slight language barrier, and with picking a dress, it isn't as problematic, but when trying to explain alterations, it is a cause for concern. Overall, this was the best choice for my budget, but the quality of service leaves something to be desired.

For brides out there that are looking for functional over experience this is the place to be. After going to boutique bridal shops in Dallas, this was a breath of fresh air. I wasn't keen on the fact that boutique bridal shops only allow you a 1-hour appointment and only lets you try on a couple dresses at a time. I didn't feel very productive in those type of places at all. You don't need an appointment to go to Mii's, just walk in and browse through their thousands of wedding gowns by yourself without anyone following you and take in as many as you like to try on. They carry many designer brands. Mii was really nice and helpful with my dress selection and she really had the best prices in town... I was even able to bargain the price down! After having such a great experience with the purchase of my wedding dress, I decided to order my bridesmaids dress through them. This is where I, unfortunately, need to take off 1 star... the bridesmaid dresses were ordered correctly by Mii, but the company delivered the wrong items. Because of time constraints, the only way we were able to fix is to have the company ship the fabric and Mii had to take out the wrong piece and replace w/ the correct. Unfortunately this was a time consuming task which I understand... but her other seamstress was out of town for months, and then Mii got sick so the lead time on the dresses were greatly delayed. They did pull through and got them delivered - hopefully with enough time for the bridesmaids to alter them... but it did stress me out a bit! Hopefully they can find a backup for times like this... All in all, great experience with a little hiccup in the middle.

The day we bought the dress everything was great. It just seems like after they got our money it went downhill and they weren't very nice. I got told 3 different delivery dates and when I was able to pick up my dress finally, they didn't include ribbon that came with it.

I purchased a beautiful wedding dress here after my best friend purchased here's here 2 years ago. They are very helpful and let us make payments up to 2 weeks before the wedding. They made sure it was altered just the way I wanted. And even altered it twice to make sure it was perfect! They were actually very affordable. My dress (Casa Blanca) was a $1500 dress which i got for 700 plus 150-200 for alterations, but it was worth it. I wouldnt risk letting someone else alter my wedding dress! But I would definetly recommend Mii's Bridal to others!! And we also got absolutely gorgeous lace bridesmaid dresses. They were $180, but they weren't ugly like most bidesmaid dresses lol!

I ordered my bridesmaids dressed here. They were very helpful. Make sure you completely understand them the are an oriental ethnicity and my mom was going to get her dress there but they couldn't get it in the right fabric. We didn't find this out till 2 weeks later. It was a smoothed out in the end and was very happy with my girls dresses!

Mii was great and her husband did a good job on my husband's groomsmen. I did have to go back to Mii's quite often for several fittings, but I'm guessing that's fairly normal because my dress really required a perfect fit or it would sag kind of weird. And Mii is not very shy at all. I had just met her and she popped under my dress to put on my petticoat. I also found a beautiful dress for a really low price. The tuxes for the guys had a slight problem. They went with grey tuxes and we planned on white shirts underneath, but they really came with black shirts. But the the black ended up better because they looked so hot! The bridesmaids dresses turned out perfect. All my bridesmaids were out of town, so we just took their measurements and Mii fitted them perfectly. The bridesmaids dresses did take a long time (about 6 months to get in) but that was more After Six's (the distributer) fault. Overall, great job!

Frank Ocean Album Won't Be Sold at Target; Retailer Denies Discrimination is Motiveby Free Britney at . Comments
Frank Ocean's album Channel Orange will not be sold at Target stores, but the retailer says it's not because of his recent announcement that he is bisexual.
The record has received plenty of praise since debuting early in digital form, and hitting No. 1 on iTunes in 10 countries ... and Target says that's the issue.
The retailer cited the album's early iTunes release as the reason behind its controversial decision to yank the rapper's album, not Frank Ocean coming out.
Target denies pulling it due to Ocean's sexuality, saying: "The claims made about Target's decision to not carry the Frank Ocean album are absolutely false."
"Target supports inclusivity and diversity in every aspect of our business. Our decisions are based on a wide number of factors, including guest demand."
The Target rep continued: "Target has a longstanding tradition of supporting music and artistry that reflects the diverse landscape of American culture."
Ocean - who has been praised by Beyonce and Russell Simmons, yet criticized by others since coming out - and his camp seemed to accept that reasoning.
His manager Christian Clancy backtracked on a now deleted tweet suggesting the retailer had other motivations for pulling the record, tweeting:
"I would like to apologize for my comments about Target. They are not carrying Franks album because it went digital first. Not for ANY other reason."
As for Ocean, he offered his own analysis and tweeted "album won't be available at target. blame it on a generational gap. best buy on deck though."
I will go with Rubio as well. Romney has it all planned in his head and Eyes, I beleive when the convention starts only then will we see who the real Mitt is. I saw some you tube clips, him and ted Kennedy. Kennedy won the election but Mitt had Kennedy scratching his head in that debate. Mitt has the fire and everything has a time and place. Signing off.
I meant---she did GET my man right, ha, my mistake!:)
Yeah, Hillary does have dignity. Who knows? She might just be tapped to take a formidable position with the Romney Admin.? I read the Pawlenty thingy...I just don't know. I don't feel good about him. I'd still vote for Romney, but I say Rubio is the one! Yeah, that's right...she did my man right! Doubt if it was necessary to be psychic either! Ha!
@Eyes- well.... She got one thing right- at least she knows who YOUR man is! Haha.
@Eyes- I must say- I do think Hilliary deserves better. Her growing up in Chicago- she got caught up in the Dem lifestyle. She has dignity. If Romney wins this year maybe she will have a shot in 2016. Only- only - only- if Romney wins.
Not surprised! I can't believe Hillary hasn't resigned! She needs to. Time for the rats to jump ship. Yeah, Trolls will be out tonight I suppose--in full measure!
@ Eyes- Trolls are nocturnal. Most cold blooded reptiles are. Did you hear- Hilliary got her limo " Tomatoed" in Egypt! No kidding- she was leavening and they covered the freaking thing in tomatos. So much for hospitality. Obama and his " MUSLUM BRUDDERS IN DA HOOD" is what they should be called. If I remember right Obama is a fan?
@Matt What's the matter is the little 67 Troll Bitch hasslin' ya on here, too? She's a witch...persistent...and has nothing better to do with her life 'cept look up IP addresses. Needle men she can't have and couldn't hold onto if she was chained to a wall with 'em! If she was smart she'd apply for a job with the FBI or the CIA look up crap for them on the 'puter...leastways, she'd be paid handsomely for her trouble and I hear the benefits are awesome! Hang in there, buddy...you and I know the truth and see the reality and that's all that matters!
If your going his way and can go the distance- then come on.
Keep it up

Stash Tea Company
Popular Teas from Stash Tea CompanySee All 243 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
Thanks Cameron B. for sending me several bags of this to enjoy. I am a Stash girl, admittedly – when I want bagged tea, this is the brand I go far. Unabashedly. That said, this one didn't really impress me.
Honestly, the coolest thing about it was purely aesthetic; when I first poured the boiling water over the bag for about three seconds the water was like this deeper purple/blue – and then gone as it shifted to a more reddish/brown/purple colour (it reminds me now of the colour of Butiki's Kamba Berry). But for those few seconds – it was SO PRETTY.
That colour. Damn.
But taste wise; this leaves a little to be desired. If I hadn't just experienced the super, super tartness of a hot cup of Yes We Cran from DT, I'd call this ta rt. In comparison to that one though, it's much more of a mellow tartness. I very loosely get "orange" from it, but in a really weak/watery sense. Vanilla? That's definitely a stretch. When it steeped, I felt like I could smell the licorice weakly – but I can't taste it now.
Come Stash, give me more!
I have to say – I do look forward to the last bag of it (I have two left; but I'm gonna send one to VariaTEA since I'm sure this'll be new to her – and I haven't had as much of an opportunity lately to pass along new stuff to my fabulous tea twin who has kept me supplied with samples) though, but only to see if I can recreate that blueish colour again.
Similar to previous reviewers, I would call this tea "not terrible." Stash has a great reputation, and this earl grey – a standard earl grey – does not disappoint, but it is lacking a bit in flavor and robustness. Having said that, with a splash of honey and left to steep an extra couple of minutes, it's nice after dinner.
Flavors: Bergamot, Vanilla
How i got it: Bought it
Experience: Being from Stash, i had some expectations for this, and i think i wasn't disappointed. Its aroma is a delightful (at least for me) mix of the coconut and mango ingredients, a bit more inclined to the former. At the other hand, i haven't tasted a pure oolong yet, so i still can't recognize its presence accurately, but i presume it on the basis of the background taste of the blend. The notes of coconut and mango are present in the flavor too, just a bit more nuanced. I also tasted some grassy and herbal notes from time to time, but i don't know where could they have come from. Very good, and i'd say, a tea that has a real potential for an iced version.
Would i buy it again?: I'd say 'yes' this time.
This is the last of my Stash samples until after the baby is born. This tea has a really unique taste. It's a light herbal licorice flavor. I'm not sure if that comes from the lavender or the tulsi, or the combination of the two, but I like it. I'll have to order more of this to see if it's something I want to keep on hand.
Flavors: Herbs, Licorice
This was the first chai I ever tasted, and I was very impressed at first, but that faded somewhat as I grew more accustomed to drinking other straight black teas. I began to realize that the balance of this tea is off. There's too much cinnamon and not enough black tea here. Even so, sometimes a cup of hot cinnamon water can be very soothing, especially when mixed with an appropriate amount of milk and sugar.
This chai also works well when you mix it with other teas and tea additives. I guess that's the real thing to know about this tea: it works well when you mix it with other things. As a stand-alone tea it's a little boring. Turn this into a chai latte, an iced chai, or some other chai concoction and you've really got something.
I drink a lot of Irish Breakfast tea. My great-grandmother used to serve it to me hot, milky, and sweet. She drank hers with a cream Irish whiskey. This version of Irish Breakfast is okay. It has the strong, slightly bitter, bold taste, but not enough of the smoothness of other Irish Breakfasts. Works quite fine if you drink it hot, milky, and sweet, but alone, it's just an okay tea.
My experience with Stash tea is pretty hit-or-miss; however, when a birthday offer showed up in my inbox, I had a hard time resisting. I'm such a sucker for discounts. I don't really have a favorite Stash Tea, so I ended up buying a couple of sampler packs.
The aroma of this one was a little weird; half the time it smelled like Autumn in a cup, and half the time it had this strange old, alcohol scent that reminded me vaguely of my college days… Regardless, I'm glad I didn't sip this during Autumn when I craved all things pumpkin flavored; it may have turned me off to pumpkin spiced tea forever. The ingredients include: naturally decaffeinated black tea, cinnamon, ginger root, clove, natural pumpkin flavor, natural nutmeg flavors. Even though black tea is the first ingredient, I didn't catch the black tea flavor at all. Pumpkin Spice wasn't completely bland though. It did live up to the second half of its name– Spice. This was a spicy, something-flavored beverage that left the most peculiar sensation on my tongue. I have no words for it (the sensation), really.

Stash Tea's Cinnamon Apple Chamomile herbal tea was the first tea I tried from my stash (har har, see what I did there?). When I first started brewing this tea, it filled up the room with the most delicious apple cinnamon aroma. It reminded of the apple cinnamon oatmeal I used to eat in the mornings before going to school, so it was particularly comforting. The ingredients include: cinnamon, hibiscus, chamomile, and natural apple flavor, which all seem pretty tempting, but I thought the tea was pretty bland. I didn't pick up the apple flavor, and I missed the spice of the cinnamon. I've never tried chamomile tea, so I can't honestly say whether or not that flavor came through or not.
So… I figured I would give this a try, even though I'm not a fan of ginger. I figured, why not, what if it's really good and you never try it? So I tried it.
NOOP. Pure ginger tea, ick. Not going to rate it. Into the rehoming box it goes.
Flavors: Ginger
Sars, not it wasn't blue. I think it's called that because it has blue malva flowers, whatever that is.
MzPriss, I do not approve of ginger. :P
This is actually pretty good, especially with a pinch of sweet added. It's sweet & fruity, a little tart, but there isn't so much hibiscus in it that my mouth puckers.
It does kind of remind me of bayer orange flavored children aspirins, from when I was a kid.
On a side note, my grapes are starting to ripen, one grape at a time. I planted these grapes a few years ago, & according to the package, they were seedless red.
They aren't.
They are something along the lines of a concord…big hunk of pulp in the middle, touch skin, & 2 – 3 large seeds. Not my favorite kind of grape, due to texture, however, they are tasty.
Oh well, we'll still eat them, or maybe I'll put them all in a barrel & climb in barefoot to stomp ;)
My last tea for the evening… The tea bag smells like a sugar cookie to me! Yums!
Brewed, it smells very similar to the dry tea bag. Very vanilla-y, sweet and buttery like a shortbread or sugar cookie. Definitely creamy as well. The taste follows suit nicely! It's very creamy and buttery with a fair amount of vanilla. This reminds me of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. I don't really taste the honeybush, it just manifests as the grain portion of the cookie. Yums! :D
Flavors: Butter, Cookie, Creamy, Sweet, Vanilla
More rooibos! :) Continuing my re-tasting of all the Chanakara collection teas that I found at my mom's place. The tea bag smells delicious, like tart strawberry candy! But not fake strawberry really, just extra juicy and sweet.
Mmm, the brewed aroma is strawberry jam! Deep and concentrated rich strawberry flavor. I'm happy to report that the taste is the same as the smell! YUM-O! It absolutely tastes like homemade strawberry preserves, meaning it tastes like real strawberries but more concentrated and cooked. So good, I'll have to order this one when I run out of bags! :)
Flavors: Hibiscus, Jam, Strawberry, Sweet
Continuing my re-tasting of these chanakara teas that I bought a year or more ago. Luckily there were a couple of boxes that were still wrapped in cellophane, and the flavor seems to be very present so far. When I wanted a caffeine-free tea to sip on, I went for this one. I'm not terribly familiar with dragonfruit itself. I've seen them for sale before, but I've never actually tasted one. The dry tea bag smells very gingery… uh oh. I steeped for 5 minutes in boiling water.
The brewed aroma is fruity and quite tart from the hibiscus. I can definitely pick up on a kick of ginger. Because of the smell, I added a teaspoon of sugar before I even tasted this tea. I am actually pleasantly surprised by it considering the number of ingredients in it that I don't generally enjoy (ginger, hibiscus, licorice). Most of the flavor is a lovely fruitiness that is accented but not overpowered by the hibiscus. The fruit definitely reminds me of other "exotic" fruits, such as mango and papaya. I taste the ginger and peppermint only at the end of the sip, and even then they're quite mild and play nicely off of the fruit.
Overall, I'm quite impressed with the fruit flavor in here, and the restraint on the hibiscus! This would make a super delicious iced tea, too. I might have to order more of this one, and perhaps the loose leaf version this time around!
Flavors: Fruity, Ginger, Hibiscus, Peppermint, Tart
This was an ok tea. I really like cinnamon and clove, which were the predominant flavors here, but it felt like it was missing something. I would not be opposed to drinking it again, but I probably won't buy it again.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove
I was trying to decide what tea to have this afternoon and this just sounded good, so out it came! I love melon (all kinds) as a fruit and as a flavor. I think this is the only tea in the chanakara collection that has caffeine, which is interesting. The bag smells melony and lovely! :) I did 3 minutes originally (there are no instructions on the wrapper) and then left it for two more after tasting it.
This is a very light tea. Both the base tea and the flavoring are rather subtle, and they do go well together. I would describe the green tea as more of a grassy variety, rather than vegetal. The melon is definitely honeydew. I found that a little bit of sugar really helped the melon to come out – yum! There's an interesting creaminess to this tea, and I'm not sure where it's coming from. Is yerba mate creamy at all…? I don't know! Overall, this is a perfectly nice tea, though not one that I would purchase by itself.
Flavors: Creamy, Grass, Melon
How i got it: Gift from my sister
Experience: This is my first taste of Oolongs that i can remember. Nice tea, i have to say. None of the flavors are very pronounced, but all of them can be perceived. The mint notes are the most clear, followed by the tea ones, while the chocolate ones stay constantly in the background. Very smooth aroma, also dominated by the mint. At the end, a well balanced and enjoyable mix. Quite good.
Would i buy it?: Why not (hehe)? I'm marking this one as another good option to look for if i'm in a mood for sweets.
This is my first white tea and I must say that I am not sure if I like it. It smells wonderful, but being used to much stronger teas it is kind of weak for me.
I am glad that I only purchased a sample, so that I am not stuck with a bunch of tea that I won't drink. Oh well, maybe my son will like it :)
I am sending you some Rivertea Mulberry white, it is really loved on here. If you don't like that one you might not be a white tea person. Or, maybe wait a while and see if your tea preferences change after a few months.
I like whites if they have a nice flavor, like melon or the mulberry. Plain doesn't taste like much to me though.
I agree with Marzipan. Plain whites just don't do it for me, they taste a bit watery. Do you enjoy jasmine? I'm fond of a nice jasmine silver needle.
Seriously? That is so generous of you. That would be wonderful! I don't have a lot so far, but would be happy to send you something in return or even reimburse you for it.
Another tea from the Chanakara variety boxes I found while looking through old things at my mom's. I have no idea what a guanabana is, so I looked it up. Apparently it's the same thing as a soursop, which is a fruit that visually reminds me of a giant green burr. I kind of chose this randomly as my caffeine-free tea to have tonight while in bed. Brewed one bag in boiling water for 5 minutes.
Bleck… This basically tastes like weak, tart rosehip and hibiscus water. I don't get a "vanilla-scented" anything, or even citrus. Just tart water.
Boo hiss. That is all I have to say, Stash.
Flavors: Hibiscus, Rosehips, Tart
The whole "Licorice" spice set me side from ever drinking this. But since i started using this site I thought that i would give it a go, try new things. Come to sip it, it ant that bad not the best but not bad. I love the vanilla aroma it gives off and the hint of orange peel. Mmmm. But again i dunno if i really love it, its an amazing tea but i can still take the licorice and it makes me hate it still. Al thought i give it a 50, id drink it again.

The weekend after M's birthday, K's grandparents (the ones who winter in Phoenix and summer in New York) made a quick trip out here to San Diego to visit with us before they left for the other side of the country for the season. We only had a few days, but we made the most of our time! We met them at their hotel after they arrived, and before dinner we all split a bottle of champagne they had brought in honor of M's birthday the previous weekend. Friday evening was chilly and damp, so we decided to take them to a place known for its comfort food: Studio Diner, featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives! We met our friends Christy and Evo as well, and although we had to wait a while for a table large enough for all of us, we had a great time chatting (and eventually also eating).
Saturday morning we headed over to Coronado, where we wandered some of the Harborside shops and took in the stunning views of downtown San Diego. We also hit up the Coronado Taste of Oils, which K had experienced on a Bite San Diego tour, and K's Mimi loved it so much she ended up buying several different olive oils and vinegars! Our purchases made, we drove back to the mainland for lunch at Cafe Coyote in Old Town, followed by wine tasting at Orfila Vineyards! Whew! After all of this, we separated for a few hours to allow K's grandparents to rest before dinner - they're not used to such busy days, and truth be told, we were happy to have some down time, too.
Dinner that night was just the four of us. K had chosen to go to Peohe's, a seafood restaurant back on Coronado with amazing views of San Diego. What she didn't know was that Mimi and Papa had actually been there before - they didn't remember the name, but as soon as we all walked in, they recognized the unique decor. Thankfully they had fond memories of the place, so they were all too happy to return, and Peohe's did not disappoint - everything was delicious!
Sunday morning, M & K joined Mimi and Papa for breakfast at their hotel before they left for Phoenix. After saying goodbye, we drove back up to Escondido and the San Diego Safari Park, hoping to gain entrance to their temporary butterfly exhibit. We weren't disappointed, and had a great time trying to spot all the different species in their Butterfly Jungle!

So I'd like to add some quinoa to a standard amber ale recipe that I brew. The idea would be to add a little bit of a nutty flavor and a little more interesting character. What's the "best" way to use it? Should I try to roast it, boil it, or what?
Roast it and let it waft for 2 weeks...I think buckwheat would give a better nutty flavor though.
I love quinoa. It's a pseudo-grain, meaning it's actually a seed prepared like a grain. I doubt you'd get much conversion of starches but maybe if it was treated like a specialty grain, some of the proteins and flavor would affect the beer. Here is one of many threads on it here. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/anyo...a-beer-104067/
first make sure they don't fall through your grain bag first; they are so tiny.
Quinoa smells like corn husks to me -- pure DMS. It would be cool to use it in a brew, but you might need an extra long boil...
I'm a huge fan of quinoa as a specialty grain in beer. Its flavors are very wort-like, and I've gotten pretty decent conversion on some of the lighter malts. That said, I'm going to do a few experiments this week to find out more.
-Do normal beer-rests, then at 155 F add some amylase.
-Do normal beer-rests, then when I would move to 155 F bring up to at least 180 F to try to get past the gelatinization temp. Then bring down with decoction cooling to 155 F and add amylase enzymes.
On all experiments I will use a refractometer to see how well things are converting and maybe hone in on what the expected yield might be for each version.
Further experiments for later this month:
-Do a Wit with Quinoa as only specialty grain (brewing this weekend), then do the same beer with Millet as the only specialty grain.
I hope you let us know how the testing goes! I've tried mashing (partial mash?) on the stove top and really don't know what I'm doing, so any information like this is really helpful (and interesting).
Another thought on quinoa, you can get flaked quinoa these days similar to any flaked grain. i bought mine at a natural foods store here in jersey. i'd oven roast a whole box (about a half pound) until it turned light brown and add it into the mash with all the other grains. the starches already have a head start and are basically ready to go.
my last time using quinoa i tried to malt it. it went well, but i don't think it was any better than any of my other extract brews at that time. it was cloudy as hell though.
Primary: Highway 35 Scotch Ale (Highway 78 clone), second runnings small beer
Bottled: Pitch Black Sheep IPA, Juniper Fail/Ale
Kegged: Apollo Pale Ale, South River Brown
if you use whole quinoa make sure you rinse it as the seed/grain is covered in a layer of alkali that will mess up your pH and doesn't taste so good. A quick wash will get most of this but its better to cover it with water completely, then poor the water off.

Chronic Cough: Causes and Natural Treatment (90% Success Rate)
What is chronic coughing?
The cough is the body's natural reflex to irritation in the throat. It is mediated by urge-to-cough receptors located in airways. We need oxygen 24/7 for body cells and this involuntary reaction is essential to clear airways and ensure our survival. However, chronic coughing has a different mechanism because it depletes your body cells and the brain of vital oxygen. This is the reason why you feel miserable after coughing attacks.

Chronic coughing is a very common feature for all these conditions. Why do you cough? During bouts of coughing, these people breathe even more. Hyperventilation reduces body oxygen levels and causes innumerable negative effects (see the links below).
Chronic coughing causes numerous health problems (see the chart on the right). Each arrow on this graph has supporting medical evidence that is provided on other pages of this website - see the links with medical studies below.
Natural chronic cough treatment
Persistent cough can be stopped with simple and easy breathing exercises. These exercises are parts of a natural cough treatment program, the Buteyko breathing technique, taught by more than 170 Russian medical doctors to their patients with asthma, bronchitis, COPD, cystic fibrosis and many other conditions. The exercise works well in children (over 5 years old) and adults, even at night and even for dry cough.
For more details related to these simple breathing exercises, visit this page "How to stop a cough at night".
Detailed instructions are alsop provided in the video on the right side "How to Stop Coughing Naturally".

Permanent remedy for persistent cough
After testing their patients, over 150 Soviet medical doctors (who developed this exercise) found that persistent cough is possible only in those patients who have less than 20 seconds for the body O2 test. As a result, the permanent chronic-cough remedy is to slow down the unconscious- or automatic-breathing pattern closer to the medical norm in order to get more than 20 seconds for the body O2 test all the time.

The role of cough and hyperventilation in perpetuating airway inflammation in asthma.
Singh V, Chowdhary R, Chowdhary N.
Department of Pulmonary Medicine, SMS Medical College, Jaipur-302 016, India.
Air flowing through a pipe exerts frictional stress on the walls of the pipe. Frictional stress of more than 40 N/m2 (velocity equivalent of air 113 m/s) is known to cause acute endothelial damage in blood vessels. The frictional stress in airways during coughing may be much greater, however, since the velocity of air may be as high as speed of sound in air. We suggest that high levels of frictional stress perpetuate airway inflammation in airways which are already inflamed and vulnerable to frictional stress-induced trauma in patients with asthma. Activities associated with rapid ventilation and higher frictional stress (e.g. exercise, hyperventilation, coughing, sneezing and laughing) cause asthma to worsen whilst activities that reduce frictional stress (Yoga 'Pranayama', breathing a helium-oxygen mixture and nasal continuous positive airway pressure) are beneficial. Therefore control of cough may have anti-inflammatory benefits in patients with asthma.

Influence of central respiratory activity on the cough response in anesthetized dogs.
Suzuki H, Kondo T, Yamabayashi H, Kobayashi I, Ohta Y.
Department of Medicine, Tokai University School of Medicine, Isehara, Japan.
Cough responses evoked by mechanical stimulation of the tracheobronchial mucosa in anesthetized and tracheostomized dogs were studied... Coughing could be evoked when the dog was made apneic either by hyperventilation or by the Hering-Breuer reflex...

Clinical cough I: the urge-to-cough: a respiratory sensation.
Davenport PW.
Department of Physiological Sciences, Box 100144, HSC, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32610, USA.
Cough is generated by a brainstem neural network. Chemical and mechanical stimulation of the airway can elicit a reflex cough and can elicit a cognitive sensation, the urge-to-cough. The sensation of an urge-to-cough is a respiratory-related sensation. The role of the respiratory sensation of an urge-to-cough is to engage behavioral modulation of cough motor action. Respiratory sensations are elicited by a combination of modalities: central neural, chemical, and mechanical. Stimulation of respiratory afferents or changes in respiratory pattern resulting in a cognitive awareness of breathing are mediated by central neural processes that are the cognitive neural basis for respiratory sensations, including the urge-to-cough. It is proposed that the urge-to-cough is a component of the cough motivation-to-action system. The urge-to-cough is induced by stimuli that motivate subjects to protect their airway by coughing...
