I was just reading the description of this tea and another Lupicia chestnut tea and they are the same. Is Lupicia renaming this for holiday sale?
This tastes very similar to their chocolate chestnut tea, but with a little less base. The first part of the sip is really light, then it starts tasting heavier. At the end is has a deep roasted flavor that joins the chestnut flavor that hangs out the entire sip. I added a little cream at the end and it really brought out a nutty flavor.
This tea is nice, but I really prefer their green based chestnut tea.
It looks like it is just called Chestnut. http://www.lupiciausa.com/product_p/12408226.htm
Thanks for the sample Marzipan!
I really like ginger in tea, but it turns out I'm spoiled from having used fresh ginger for so long when I get that ginger craving. This is good tea, but I wouldn't buy any… I think I'd rather add fresh grated ginger myself! I'm a ginger snob apparently :P
OMG I love this tea! After I bought it I lost it at my parent's house and it just resurfaced. It is pretty EG on the sip, but that fades into a really nice passion fruit flavor at the end. It is such an interesting twist to EGs and I'm really bummed that Lupicia is discontinuing it. I only have 5 or so tea bags left. :(
Aw, that's a shame that they're discontinuing this one. I wish they offered the Hawaiian blends online, I would love to try them!
I'd always thought that orzo was a type of pasta – and it turns out I'm not wrong but apparently the pasta got its name for it's resemblance to barley grains which is what this tea is made out of. It looks very much like coffee grounds and it was a pain in the ass to clean out of my strainer so I'd say it almost needs something like a coffee filter for brewing.
Dry the smell is a rich, malted scent with hints of chocolate and strawberry. After adding the water it became more coffee-like. I literally can't drinking coffee or it will make me violently ill so I have no idea how close the flavour is to actual coffee – which supposedly orzo is a common substitute for. I will say that it tastes like it smells – flavourful and toasty with a faint hint of bitterness. The strawberry is sort of a vague sweet undertone but it provides a nice contrast.
Many thanks to Ash for providing a sample of this tea via the GCTTB.
I enjoyed this one! Lately, I've been steeping rooibos and honeybush teas for shorter times (about three minutes or so), and it seems to help make them less medicinal. There's still some wood-y taste here from the rooibos, but it's pretty mild. I can smell a sugary note of maple in the aroma, and the apple comes through when I sip. It seems like Lupicia does well with their rooibos/honeybush blends, compared to some others I've tried… I still enjoy their flavored green and black teas more, but I'd say the rooibos and honeybush ones are worth trying, for caffeine-free options. (They probably won't convert anyone who doesn't like rooibos, though! I still have to be in the right mood to drink them.)
I pulled another tea from the T&C TTB to try out tonight. As I have to wake up early tomorrow, I did not want to risk any caffeine, so I went for one of the watermelon barley sachets. First off, I have to say that I love barley tea. I drink it practically every day from a big pitcher of it in my fridge (yes, I am Korean American). I have never tried any flavored barley teas before, but I usually love how Lupicia flavors their teas, so I was so excited to see this tea in the TTB.
As I was steeping the tea, I got a whiff of a heavy smoky scent from the tea. My regular barley tea does have a bit of smokiness, but not nearly this much. That worried me because it smelled like a tobacco kind of smoky rather than a BBQ/charcoal kind of smoky. It also smelled like candy watermelon. When I tasted the tea, I think it was less smoky than it smelled like it was going to be, but still enough that it was a bit off-putting to me. The candy watermelon flavor only really quietly sneaked in as an aftertaste after the roasted/smoky barley flavor. I wanted to love this tea, but I just couldn't get over that strong smoky smell. I guess I can't love all Lupicia's teas.. On to the next!
I never reviewed this either! EGADS!
This is my last backlog for tonight. I'm hungry, borderline hangry.
Sorry for the flood in your newsfeed. Or whatever Steepster calls it.
I have never had a roasted chestnut in my life, but being a huge lover of Christmas I've always been intrigued by the concept, and "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" always sounded like perfect heaven to me. So warm and cozy.
That said, there is something odd about this. I debated between this one and the chocolate one, and went with this. So i could taste the chestnuts on their own.
It's enjoyable… but I wouldn't rebuy. I can't help but wonder if the idea of roasted chestnuts would probably be better than the reality for me – it's still something I'd like to try someday though!
Perhaps I'd appreciate the tea more if i were able to compare it to the real thing.
How strange… the description for Joyeux Noel is the same. Roasted chestuts on the streets of Paris. Do they have two names for the same tea?! I haven't tried JN yet, it just arrived in my last order, but I have tried their chocolate chestnut and it was okay. What I like better than that is their chestnut green. The two work really well together.
I somehow never reviewed this!
It is DELICIOUS.
Definitely a realistic melon taste. And green rooibos is a-ok by me, unlike disgusting loathesome regular rooibos that tastes like wood!
I only got one tin of this. But I have the melon oolong which I realize is a different tea base, but is equally melony and realistically flavoured, so I like them equally.
Hmmm, tasting a little bitter. Did I over steep?! Cream and sugar to the rescue! It's much better now. Seems like a nice breakfast type tea. I think I can pick out a tiny bit of bergamot in the end of the sip. There are other breakfast type teas that I like better than this one, so I'm not likely to pick this one up, but am glad to have tried it.
Also sampled this one at a friend's house! This tea is another one of Lupicia's exclusive Hawaiian blends. It's very sweet, and smells mostly of coconut, with some vanilla. (There's also pineapple, though I don't notice it as much, possibly because it blends in with the coconut?) The tea tastes sweet as well; there seem to be sugar crystals mixed in with the dry leaf, which highlight the tropical flavors in the blend. The black base is on the lighter side, with minimal bitterness, which is always good. For some reason, I don't like this one quite as much as Lupicia's other Hawaiian blends, though… Something about the flavor combo tastes a little soapy and artificial. It might actually be the coconut; I enjoy coconut in some blends, but it can taste a little flat to me. This is still a good tea, though, and really evokes some classic Hawaiian flavors! It's just not my favorite Lupicia blend that I've tried.
A very interesting tea. Was pleasantly surprised to see real coffee beans in the tea bag! This has the taste and aroma of coffee + caramel and I think it's not too far from caramel macchiato you find in Starbucks! It's a tea that can tempt tea lovers to try coffee and coffee lovers to try tea :P
Another one from Stephanie! This is actually one I've been wanting to try for a while, mostly because I've enjoyed Lupicia's other fruit oolongs. I'm happy to see that this blend has a green rolled oolong base, as I find their pouchong base oolongs to be a bit floral. There are also lovely purple and pink flower petals mixed in for visual effect. Dry scent is a touch floral, but it mostly smells like lovely tart and sweet plums.
The steeped tea smells fruity and sweet but there's also a strong floral presence. Hm, this one is more along the lines of their Pineapple Oolong. The flavoring is very subtle, I can only taste a hint of plum. The base tea is quite nice, it's mild and vegetal with only a little bit of floral accent (happily for me). Overall, it's tasty, but it's almost a straight oolong to me.
Flavors: Floral, Plums, Thick, Vegetal
This sample came from miss Stephanie, it was part of her free shipping order. I am always excited for the opportunity to try another Lupicia tea! Like some other Lupicia black teas I've had, this one looks to be a mix of little CTC-style pellets and more traditional-looking small leaves. There are also some rather large pieces of what I assume to be roasted chestnut. Dry, this tea smells quite delicious – it's a nice mix of sweet cocoa and roasted, nutty chestnut.
The steeped tea smells remarkably similar to the dry version, yum! The taste is definitely heavier on the chestnut. It has a deep roasted, slightly bitter flavor as well as a creamy nuttiness that contrasts nicely. The cocoa is definitely unsweetened (the same as their Thé au Chocolat). Overall, I quite like this as a fall/winter tea, though I'm sure it would be even better with a touch of sugar added.
Flavors: Bitter, Chestnut, Cocoa, Creamy, Malt, Roasted nuts
Continuing my ongoing Lupicia education with this sample from the lovely Stephanie. Now, I'm not really a puerh lover, but I did enjoy their other two flavored puerhs so I wanted to give this one a try as well, especially since it's cookie-based. This actually looks like a blend of two different teas, some loose and unrolled smallish leaves that I assume are the puerh, and some little tiny rolled up balls that resemble a larger version of CTC. There are also some pieces of cinnamon bark included. Dry scent is quite strong on the cinnamon (luckily Stephanie was thoughtful enough to double-bag this sample, so it didn't affect the other teas), but I can also smell pastry and the earthy puerh base.
Once steeped, the tea keeps its strong cinnamon aroma and also the light pastry notes. There's also a teeny bit of fishiness from the puerh, but not enough to bother me. Hm, this one is actually pretty strong on the earthy puerh taste, but it does go well with the other flavors. The cinnamon is milder than I thought it would be, and there's just a bit of cookie-ness going on. Honestly, I would consider this to be more of a lightly cinnamon-flavored puerh. Not bad, but not what I expected either. :P
Flavors: Burnt Sugar, Cinnamon, Cookie, Earth
Tea of the month! I love that Lupicia sends out samples in their tea magazine! I had this this morning. It tasted like many of their other chocolate combo teas without the combo flavor. I have had their chocolate with strawberry, banana and chestnut, all of which really add something to the chocolate base. I don't think the chocolate is interesting enough to stand on it's own as a tea. It is great mixed with other stuff. I have a lavender EG that I have been wanting to try with chocolate, so maybe I'll resteep this in the morning with the EG. We'll see if this tea has a place in my cupboard as an additive to other teas.
I haven't been a big rooibos fan lately. Still, when I read that Lupicia had a limited time tea with chestnut and pumpkin, I had to give it a go. I have had their sweet potato black tea before and it has a similar taste to this. I can pick out a little chestnut, but I'm not really getting the pumpkin. The first few sips were really flavorful, but the sips after that left me searching out the intensity I had gotten before. At the end of each sip my mouth gets dry. Thank you rooibos.
This is a really interesting flavor combination, although I'm not crazy about this tea. I'd love to make a soup with these flavors. I'd also love to try this tea in a black base!
Tried this tea while staying at a friend's house! I haven't had much success with red rooibos lately, so this was a nice surprise. The dry leaf has a very sweet smell, with lots of thick honey notes. After I steeped it for three minutes, the aroma changed to mostly berries (strawberry, I think?) and apricot. The taste is somewhere in between— a touch of honey, a touch of apricot, and a splash of berry flavor, all mixed in with rooibos. The rooibos seems pretty light here, and not too medicinal—but I'm not sure whether that's due to the short steep time or the blend itself. Either way, this was a pleasant tea to start my evening. I'm not sure that I'd purchase it, but it's better than most rooibos blends I've tried.
Kind of meh. I ordered this trusting in all the positive reviews, but I should have trusted my instincts. Usually chocolate flavored things just disappoint me as the taste is generally quite artificial. I'll stick with the natural cocoa flavors in teas like Laoshan Black. Soooo…now what do I do with this entire pouch of tea I don't like that much?
I would also like to note that this tea packs quite a caffeine punch. Or maybe that's just because I decided to skip breakfast? Either way, playing Skyrim while shaking with caffeine jitters is not a good idea.
Yeah, chocolate flavouring is not all that great. I prefer natural chocolate notes, or cacao shells.
I just realized how hypocritical this review must look since I followed it with a great review for Butiki's Peppermint Patty. But in my defense, the first ingredient for that is chocolate chips!
Sampling this one at a friend's house! This is one of Lupicia's exclusive Hawaiian blends, with cocoa powder and macadamia nuts. To me, it tastes a lot like The Au Chocolat—except I might actually like this one better? Which is odd, because I'm not that into nuts. (I don't mind them, but I don't usually crave them in a tea blend. Or in chocolate generally!) I think it's because I find Lupicia's chocolate flavor to have a certain nutty taste, so it goes really well with the macadamia.
This is a rich tea, with a strong black base and a great dessert-like flavor. If you like chocolate with nuts, you'll enjoy this one. (Or even if you don't! I certainly liked it.)
As a child, my grandmother used to make this remedy for me whenever my throat started to catch in hopes to prevent an oncoming cold. The first sip I took from a cuppa Ginger & Lemon Myrtle took me right back to that same time. However, while it did remind me of that fond childhood memory, it didn't quite replicate the same soothing feeling I had experienced.
When first opening the closed loose leaf bag, the strong, lemon scent is what immediately hit me. Upon further takes, the hints of rooibos became more and more apparent. The ginger was very faint.
The lemon was the first thing that came to me, followed by the dry, grassy rooibos. The ginger became more and more prominent near the end, leaving its strong impression in the aftertaste.
Flavors: Citrus Zest, Dry Grass, Ginger, Lemon Zest

Directed by William FriedkinReviews > DVD > Nov 2003By James KeastTo Live and Die in L.A., Exorcist director William Friedkin's gritty 1985 counterfeiting flick, emerged as a surprise (in its day) for a number of reasons. It featured a dirty-looking Los Angeles, not the city of angels and dreams of stardom but one of smog, grit, corruption with a sleazy underbelly. It featured two unknowns in the lead, William L. Petersen (C.S.I.) and John Pankow (Mad About You's cousin Ira) as partnered cops straddling legal lines in order to nail an artist/counterfeiter in the very young form of Willem Dafoe. What wasn't out of character for its times but seems positively anachronistic now is its realistic, heart-pumping chase sequences, which while paling in comparison to the CGI-enhanced whirligigs of contemporary filmmaking, at the time had Friedkin comparing it to his own work in The French Connection. (For those lacking in car chase film history, that's good.) On DVD, it's difficult to connect with a film that seems more like vintage clothing that's not quite in vogue, unless you came to it in its original form, when the long, extended counterfeiting scene outlining the hows and wherefores in real, dirty fingernail hard work, not a mouse click in sight was shocking in its realism. So realistic were the counterfeiting sequence and the results, Friedkin actually had federal agents investigating the film, his property manager and the "consultant" they didn't ask too many questions of when outlining the scene. That counterfeiting scandal is the highlight of the "making of" documentary found here; that, and the change in ending. Unlike contemporary filmmakers who bow to pressure when asked for a more "upbeat" ending, Friedkin allowed his sunnier alternative take to be screened only once, then pulled it himself. Looking at it, it's easy to see why a happy ending seems particularly out of place given the smelly grime of humanity the film wallows in otherwise. Plus: deleted scene, commentary by Friedkin, more.

The South Eastern Education and Library Board bus and a van collided on the Vianstown Road in Downpatrick on Tuesday morning.
Thirteen children who attend Knockevin Special School were on board the bus, along with two adults.
A PSNI spokesperson said the special needs pupils were not hurt but were "extremely shaken" by the crash.
The children were helped out of the bus by passersby, who brought them to a nearby house where they waited until the emergency services arrived.
They were then taken to the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald and Downe Hospital in Downpatrick.
One teenage boy was kept in for further investigations at the Ulster, while all others were discharged.
Darrell McCoubrey's six-year-old brother-in-law was one of the pupils caught up in the crash. He said it was a frightening experience, but he is now "running about as usual".
Mr McCoubrey praised the actions of those who helped at the scene of the crash.
"Everybody that pulled up on the scene... car doors lying open, running up... there was no hesitation everyone was straight up to the scene to see what they could do to help," he told UTV.
Given the nature of the accident, the rolling over of the bus, I've no doubt that the seat belts helped prevent serious injury on this occasion.Dr Nigel Ruddell
Given the nature of the accident, the rolling over of the bus, I've no doubt that the seat belts helped prevent serious injury on this occasion.
Dr Nigel Ruddell
Dr Nigel Ruddell from the NI Ambulance Service said the emergency services declared the crash to be a major incident.
"I'm pleased to say that on first appearances none of the children seemed to have any life threatening or serious injuries.
"I think that's testament to the fact that all these children were wearing seat belts in this school minibus otherwise it could have been very different," he explained.
Education Minister John O'Dowd said: "All pupils, their escort, the bus driver and the driver of the other vehicle have been taken to hospital and my thoughts are with them and their families following this distressing incident.
"I know the emergency services were promptly on the scene and I would like to thank them for their work this morning."
Sinn Féin MLA Chris Hazzard has praised the bus driver for making sure the children were brought to safety.
"Although shocked himself I believe the driver worked to make sure that the children were comforted.
"I am relieved that no one was seriously injured and hope that everyone makes a full and speedy recovery," he said.
SDLP MLA Seán Rogers said his thoughts are with the passengers and their families.
"This must have been a very traumatic ordeal for them all. Initial reports state that all of the passengers were strapped into their seats. This clearly re-emphasises how vital such seat belts are," he added.
"I wish all concerned a full speedy recovery."
The Vianstown Road was closed and diversions put in place at its junction with Bonecastle and Ballydugan Road.

Iran Talks Miss Deal Deadline: What's Next?
by Ariane Tabatabai With the November 24 deadline for a comprehensive deal between world powers and Iran on the country's nuclear program now behind us, the negotiating teams have returned to their capitals to debate next steps.

Tales from the Vienna Woods
by Robert E. Hunter It's too early to tell all there is to be told about the negotiations in Vienna between the so-called P5+1 and Iran on the latter's nuclear program.

by Monica Byrne Before I traveled to Iran, I didn't want to read anything about Iran.

Iranian Foreign Policy Hasn't Been Static Since the Revolution
by Jahandad Memarian According to a recent special report on Iran in The Economist: "The revolution is over."

US Policy Towards Iran Played Big Role in Rise of Sunni Extremism

Iran Talks: A Painful Choice Looms
by Peter Jenkins The absence of any late September breakthrough on the central issue in the nuclear negotiation with Iran—Iran's mastery of uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used for both civil and military purposes—has triggered speculation that the November 24 deadline for a comprehensive agreement will be missed. It has also sparked renewed
Waiting for the Iranian Godot
by Derek Davison The US stance on Iran's uranium enrichment program, according to recent media reports, is softening. In other words, Washington might agree to a technical workaround on the issue of dismantling centrifuges or accept a higher number of active centrifuges than it had previously been seeking in international negotiations with Iran. But if the P5+1—that is, the five

When debit cards offend college football fans
Send this to a friend
- Greg Edwards
- Reporter- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
In this season of college bowl games comes a lesson on marketing to your market, courtesy of PNC Financial Services.
It seems the Pittsburgh bank has been expanding into the Southeast — think Southeastern Conference football for our purposes — and issued its new customers debit cards in orange and blue.
Well, those happen to be the colors of Auburn University, and archrival University of Alabama, the Crimson Tide, was offended.
"Orange doesn't sell in Tuscaloosa," Lou Costello, PNC's regional president for the Southeast, told The Wall Street Journal.
You can read about PNC's fix here.
Alabama plays Notre Dame for the national championship Jan. 7.

Galaxy "brand campaign" by AMV BBDO
Galaxy has created a TV ad featuring Audrey Hepburn. The spot, created by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, uses CGI technology to showcase footage of the late actress eating a Galaxy in the back of a car. The ad also revives the strapline "Why have cotton when you can have silk?" Set in the 50s on Italy's Amalfi Coast, the ad ends with Hepburn enjoying a Galaxy after she steps off a crowded bus to join a handsome man in his open-top car. It was created by Jim Seath and Andy Booth, and directed by Daniel Kleinman through Rattling Stick.

Bravo à l' Agence de la consommation en matière financière du Canada et à tous les individus et organismes concernés.
La littératie financière au Canada est certainement dans la bonne direction.
Monnaie Money At The National Conference on Financial Literacy
The Monnaie Money team was out west in Vancouver last week for the National Conference on Financial Literacy. The theme of the conference was "Strengthening Financial Literacy Through Collaboration".
Conference topics included:
1) Exploring ways to move the dial on financial literacy indicators
2) Preliminary results from "The 2nd Canadian Financial Capability Survey"
3) Examples of successful collaboration
4) Best practices in program evaluation
5) The launch of The National Financial Literacy Resource
6) Case studies in changing financial behaviour
It was a great opportunity to network with other organizations in the financial literacy industry. Focus groups were held to make recommendations to the National Financial Literacy Steering Committee.
We really enjoyed the presentation from the youth the Enactus St. Lawrence College, "Manage Your Money Project". In addition, we were interested in the various topics on financial behaviour which focused on why we make certain decisions when it comes to money. Bravo to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada and to all the individual and agencies involved.
Financial Literacy in Canada is definitely heading in the right direction.
8 Things That Financial Literacy Can Do For You
November is Financial Literacy Month in Canada. Several organizations across the country are holding various events to promote the importance of financial literacy skills. From contests to workshops, learning the basic money management skills and being aware of threats to one's wallet in terms of fraud schemes and scams are essential. Becoming a better money manager is an investment that you can reap the benefits in the short and long term if you are willing to acquire the necessary skills and remaining informed.
Below are 8 results that can be seen when one selects to become financial literate.
1. Know where your money is coming and going
By creating a monthly budget, you can track your cash flow. From your pay cheque or pension benefits to groceries expenses, your budget will tell you the level of surplus or debt that you must manage. This financial literacy skill will assist you in making decisions such as how much you should put aside in a savings account or reducing expenses to avoid going into further debt.
2. Control your spending
Using a credit card to go shopping can be dangerous. Credit cards can prompt you to spend money that may not have in the bank. By being aware of your access to credit and interest rates, you can control your spending knowing the short and long term consequences of going into debt. Instead of using a credit card, you may select to use your debit card or cash to shop.
3. Prepare for your financial future
Do you have plans to buy a house? Would you like to retire comfortably? The financial literacy skill of long term saving is essential. Knowing how much to save per month and types of investment tools that are available to you is a responsibility that must be taken seriously and requires discipline. For young individuals, financial literacy will instruct you to start saving and investing early to benefit from compound interest over a long period time. Middle-age individuals will have the ability to shelter their money from taxes and retired individuals should be able to reduce debt levels and better manage funds given increasing household expenses.
4. Manage your debt
One of the major needs for financial literacy is dealing with debt. From avoiding the use of debt (i.e., credit cards, personal loans, etc.) to understanding interest payments, being able to deal with debt can make life easier from a personal finance point of view.
5. Increase your awareness of potential fraud
Fraud prevention is an aspect of financial literacy. In order to protect yourself from financial fraud, it is wise to be aware of the common and prevailing approaches that fraudsters gain access to your personal and banking information. March is Fraud Prevention Month, when the Competition Bureau of Canada executes their campaign to share tips to avoid fraud of all kinds.
6. Have your money work for you
Want to have your money work for you? If so, then it is time to become more informed on the different types of investment avenues for your needs. By understanding the different options and respective their benefits and pitfalls, you can decide where to put your money to watch it grow over time.
7. How to best use credit
We all have access to credit in different forms such as credit cards, personal loans and mortgages which entails incurring debt. To avoid the difficulties that are linked to going to debt via using credit, it is best to have the skills to know the best situations to use credit and sound strategies to pay back money with the least amount of interest.
8. Understand how banks work
The majority of your money is probably is in a bank; however, do you know how your bank manages your deposits? What type of products and services that you can benefit from to help to your money to grow? By becoming more financial literate, you will be able to compare difference banks in terms of what they offer and decide to move your money to another financial institution to meet your financial goals.
Acquiring the basic financial literacy skills to avoid common money management problems is an ongoing process. Although you can gather as much information as you can from different sources and organizations, it is your responsibility to apply the practical tips to improve your financial situation for the future.

How To Protect To Yourself From A Scam
Have you ever received a text regarding a chance of winning a cruise? Although we all wish that it would be a dream come true, it could be the beginning of a nightmare. According to the verified mobile phone community, Truecaller, approximately US$8.6 billion were solicited from Americans via phone scams in 2013. Although you may say to yourself "How could people fall for text fraud?", the truth is that some individuals are not aware of how current fraud artists operate using a variety of methods and communication tools.
Whether it be phone, mail, text, email or debit / credit card fraud, the best way to protect yourself from being a victim is to identify the scam and be able to do not fall for the bait.
Below lists the different types of scams and what you should look out for when you are approached by fraudsters.
Identity Scams
Identity scams begin by fraudsters obtaining personal information via the internet or telephone, or via fax or regular mail. As a result, be particularly wary of unsolicited e-mails, texts, telephone calls or mail attempting to extract personal or financial information from you. When using a debit or credit card, it is safer to swipe your cards yourself than it is to allow a cashier to do it for you. In circumstances that you are asked to hand over the card, be sure that you never lose sight of it.
Debit Card Fraud
If you select to use a debit card for the majority of your purchases, then you are a target of debit card fraud. Signs of how fraudsters may execute their scam on you are: asking you if they can swipe the card on your behalf, having independent bank machines in usual and dark places, watching you punching in your personal identification number (PIN) into the payment terminal. If you have a lost or someone has stolen you card, be sure to report it to your bank.
Credit Card Fraud
Whether it is buying a shirt at a small clothing boutique or a CD from a music group's website with a credit card, you may be susceptible a scam by having your information stolen. To prevent this unfortunate circumstance from happening, be sure to: look for small charges to your card, avoid buying items on websites that are not secured. (Please Note: Secure websites have their addresses start with 'https//:' once you have selected to log onto the site). If you choose to use the credit card only in stores, be aware of i) individuals that will ask you to reconfirm the number and ii) the return of your card. Some fraudsters will attempt to swap your card with a dummy card once they have the information to use the card elsewhere.
E-mail Fraud / Phishing
If you have an email account and subscribe to electronic newsletters, chances are that your address will be obtained by e-mail fraudsters or "phisers". Phisers attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an e-mail. The e-mail will have an urgent request for personal or financial information. It is important to remember that financial institutions and credit card companies normally will not use e-mail to ask for or confirm existing client's information.
Mass Marketing
Mass marketing scams can be seen in various forms, however; individuals are more prone to be victims of charity, prize pitch and telemarketing fraud.
Although there are various worthy charities to donate to, be aware of individuals that claim to represent a charity and is not able to provide verifiable identification and will pressure you into donating money. Legitimate fund-raisers will not push you to give on the spot.
Prize pitch scams are highly effective since everyone enjoys winning a prize, however, it comes with a catch. If you need to provide personal information to claim the prize, think twice. It may be too good to be true.
Telemarketing scams are the most efficient frauds to execute. To identify whether the offer that is being made is legitimate, ask the individual on the other end of phone to provide all the information that is available on the company, especially contact information for two managers. If the individual is unable to reply to request, end the conversation and clearly indicate that you do not wish to be contacted again.
Being a victim of a scam is very unpleasant. Not only do scams leave you with less money in your bank account, they will strip you of your dignity.
The best way to prevent the two from happening is to inform yourself of all the proven and successful scams that are executed on and off the internet.

Selecting The Right Bank Accounts and Services As A Student
As an enrolled student, you should be on the lookout for different banks that offer discounted fees for their services. Discounted fees will permit you to keep more money in your pocket while obtain the same level of services as a regular client. A prime example is banks that offer specific accounts and services to students for the years that are spent in school.
With the various banks that a student can choose from, it is important to understand the basic accounts and services which will influence the selection of the financial institution that you will place your money in for the semesters to come.
Here are 8 financial services and related fees that banks specifically promote to students before every semester.
1. Monthly Bank Account Fees
All banks will offer students the ability to open an account where there are not any fees charged for basic banking services. Services may include: cheques, withdrawals (including automated banking machines), transfers, pre-authorized payments, bill payments and debit purchases. These are usually known as "unlimited debit transactions". Check with your respective bank to see what specific fees are exempted in their offer to students.
2. Monthly Recordkeeping Fees
To maintain an accurate record of your bank account, banks may charge fees for specific recordkeeping services. Banks will assign a fee to provide paper statements, cheque images returns and passbook updates. Fees can range from $1.50 to $2.50 per month for each service. If you are already and a good manager of money and tracking your deposits and withdrawals, you may not have to use the recordkeeping services offered by your bank.
3. Online & Mobile Banking
Via a smartphone, tablet or laptop computer, banks should offer students the ability to bank online. Using these tools, it will allow you to conduct transactions at your own convenience. For example, the majority of the main banks in Canada offer you the option of making a deposit by just asking a picture of your cheque with your mobile phone. Access to online and mobile banking is free.
4. Rewards Programs
To encourage client loyalty, some banks will prompt students to enroll in rewards programs. By participating in such programs, you can eligible for discounts for anything from movies to music downloads. If such rewards programs interest you, be sure to read the fine print on the details on the offer and ask questions to your local branch manager.
5. Savings Programs
For students that have trouble saving on a regular basis, banks will assist in establishing automatic withdraw-deposit transactions. This can be very helpful when you are planning your future years in university when the cost of tuition and books are most likely to rise.
6. Access To Credit Cards
Although using credit cards maybe costly in the hands of students who may be tempted impulse shop, some banks offer to access credit cards with customized budget alerts to better manage money and promote wise spending. It is important to note that some banks will grant credit cards with a "no income" requirement which may be dangerous for students who may not have enough funds to pay credit charges when they are due. As a result, it is your responsibility to use the credit card for the purposes of your education and not your wardrobe or social life.
7. Access To A Line of Credit
To ensure that you have a sufficient amount of funds to pay your tuition, banks will offer students a line of credit to use to cover costs. A line of credit is a source of money from a bank or a level of government that must be paid back with interest. Eligible students can access this type of financing with some conditions and restrictions. Speak to a representative at your bank for more information on obtaining a line of credit for tuition purposes.
8. Loan Programs
When students are not able to obtain a bursary or a loan from the government for tuition and books, banks have loan programs which should be considered as an alternative. Depending on your needs, you can get a loan which best fit your financial status. If one bank does not offer what you are looking for, visit another bank. Do not be afraid to negotiate the best deal possible.
If you are student and in need of financial services while attending school, it is
it is recommended that you conduct research regarding what each bank offers and how you can benefit from different accounts and services for your academic future.

Making them green with envy! Eva Longoria looks elegant as she shows off her incredible figure in an emerald dress
She was earlier in the day looking like a dream in cream.
But after promoting some potato chips in her neutral outfit, Eva Longoria emerged in some eye-popping colour.
The 37-year-old looked elegant, showing off her incredible figure in an emerald wrap-around dress as she braved the rain in New York.
Emerald city: Eva Longoria stepped out looking elegant in an emerald green dress as she ventured out in New York today
The bright ensemble featured ruffled detailing at the shoulders and a tie at the waist.
The diminutive star paired the ensemble with a pair of nude-coloured stappy sandals.
Letting her bold dress do all of the talking, the Desperate Housewives star wore minimal accessories and had her hair pulled back in a ponytail.
Pretty as a picture: The bright ensemble featured ruffled detailing at the shoulders and a tie at the waist
The TV star was accompanied by several members of her entourage, who dutifully held an umbrella over her head to protect her from the rainy conditions.
Earlier in the day, Eva again put her fashionable foot forward to promote a contest to create a new flavour of Lay's potato chips.
Wearing a white silk romper, a white tuxedo-style blazer and the same strappy sandals, she posed with a variety of crisps at the Lays pop-up store in Manhattan's Times Square.
Don't rain on my parade: The TV star was accompanied by several
members of her entourage, who dutifully held an umbrella over her head
The actress was helping to launch a
contest to create a new flavour for the Lay's brand at the pop-up store
where consumers can sample up to 20 existing flavors of potato chips.
me, the best part about the contest is that you don't have to be a
foodie, chef or flavor expert to enter,' explained Longoria. 'You just
have to trust your taste buds.'
In addition to acting, Longoria is also author of the cookbook Eva's Kitchen and the owner of Beso, a Latin style Steakhouse with outposts in Hollywood and Las Vegas.
Downpour: Earlier in the day, Eva again embraced the rain with a smile
Newly single Longoria is currently producing a reality show Ready for Love, which sees a team of
professionals pair people with their perfect partners.
Eva felt inspired to work on the TV show because she enjoys bringing different people together.
'I'm a pretty good matchmaker, I love pairing people up, even if it's not romantic.'
'I am like, "You guys would be great friends," or "You guys would be great business partners," or "You guys should get to know each other." I try to connect a lot of people,' she said.

Helicopter Tours
Kauai has gained a reputation for its spectacular tour helicopter flights. Although tours are available on all the islands, Kaua`i continues to lead the state in sheer numbers. And why not? A helicopter tour of the Garden Island is an extraordinary experience that can't be matched anywhereelse.
From a helicopter, the ageless beauty of the island's rugged interior comes into full perspective. Here nature has blanketed the uneven terrain with lush waterfall-fed valleys, arid, multihued canyons and spectacular, sculpted cliffs that rise 4,000 feet from the ocean. At the top of the island, in a helicopter, the sheer magnitude of nature's handiwork comes into view, leaving many flat-out speechless.

A Performance Leader Shift Tip for Leaders
Are you running a $3million human machine?
Time is precious. As a leader, not only is your own time precious but so is the time of those who work for you and with you. The average person works just under two thousand hours a year. A person working sixty hours per week works nearly 3000 hours a year! If you manage just five people, you are responsible for over 12,000 hours of work at a cost of $300,000 or much more! If you work for ten years with such a group of people, you have spent $3million.
If you bought a three million dollar machine that would last for ten years, would you be willing to put in one day per year to get the most out of that machine? Your organization is like a human machine, producing goods and services to meet customer needs. It's like an engine, with each person acting out their role. If one cylinder misfires, the whole engine suffers.
What I find strange in business today is that managers still view performance as largely driven by 'individuals.' When orders are late, or quality is inferior or key projects don't happen, bosses tend to point the finger. "Who dunnit?" they demand. Yet the overwhelming reality is that your business is a fluid human system, with each person locked into the patterns and expectations that are well-established in your company.
Of course, there are human errors. Of course, some people have the brains and the desire to 'beat the system', outwitting it to make what needs doing...get done! I recently read that the chairman of Goldman Sachs, the NY investment bankers, once said that 20% of his people produced 80% of his results. A huge outcry from his employees followed and he immediately apologized and withdrew his comments. But I'm sure he meant what he said.
If your business success is depending on 2 of every 10 employees to be the talent that 'makes it happen', the odds are you are wasting eight very talented people. Those eight people simply don't have what it takes to 'beat the system' - the human system that they are trapped inside of that has been built by the leaders of your company.
So why not unleash those eight people? Why not give them the tools, skills and knowledge to do what the clever twosome are doing? All it takes is to make the 'system' visible! That's right, visible! Does an employee truly 'see' the system in which they are operating? Does a fish know it is in water? Does the employee (and I mean white collar, middle managers, not just front-line workers) have a tool and defined authority levels to make changes to the "system"?
I recently saw Ken Blanchard speaking at a conference I attended. He spoke passionately and plainly. He reiterated an age-old wisdom - "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." I would add to that, if you can't 'see' it, you can't measure it or manage it.
In my work, people define their roles and responsibilities in four pages of detail. None can do it easily. We are so busy "doing," "reacting," and "greasing the squeaky wheel," that few of us take the time to step back and look at how we fit into the cogs of the human machine that we call an "organization."
When the wheels begin to fall off the organizational wagon, top management becomes willing to act. I call this "workload overload." Deadlines get missed. Quality is inconsistent. People are frustrated. It doesn't have to be that way. Top managers can decide to make the organizational system "open." They can give every employee the means to "beat the system" and indeed to improve the system, for the benefit of customers, employees and themselves!
Oddly enough, it all begins with appreciating the value of one single hour. One hour a week is the same as one week a year (47 weeks x 1 hr). Even with just that simple perspective, staff make real changes in how they do their work - shifting, eliminating, delegating to experts or streamlining work. Imagine how much better they would invest each hour if they could see the big-picture system of how the tens of thousands of hours of work gets done in your organization

Oscar Nomination Spotlights Autism
The Oscar-night paparazzi clearly were aiming for the actress Gwyneth Paltrow, in her pale-pink gown by the designer Stella McCartney.
But captured in a photo, to Ms. Paltrow's left, was a smiling Sue Rubin, another presence on the red carpet at the Feb. 27 Academy Awards presentation in Hollywood.
Ms. Rubin, a 26-year-old with autism, is the subject of "Autism is a World," a film that was nominated for best documentary short subject.
"Mighty Times: The Children's March" won in the category.
A college junior from Whittier, Calif., Ms. Rubin was diagnosed with autism at age 4. She was believed to be mentally retarded until she was given an opportunity to interact with the world through typing on a special keyboard, said Gerardine Wurzburg, the film's producer and director.
Ms. Rubin is listed as the screenwriter of the film.
Ms. Wurzburg said Ms. Rubin first learned to type with someone holding her hand, a technique known as facilitated communication. She now types independently, with someone holding her keyboard.
"If she walked into your office right now, you would dismiss her," said Ms. Wurzburg, whose film company is based in Washington. "Then, once you show her the respect that anybody is due, you will see she's very political, she's very engaged, and a charming person."
The method through which Ms. Rubin communicates was introduced in the 1990s. Douglas P. Biklen, a proponent of facilitated communication and a professor of special education at Syracuse University, was one of the film's co-producers.
Originally hailed as a breakthrough, facilitated communication has also met with deep skepticism. A number of researchers have found that facilitators were guiding the hands of persons with autism. Ms. Wurzburg and Mr. Biklen say that the film is not about the method, but about challenging the perceptions of disability.
"Autism is a World" is scheduled to air on the Cable News Network on May 22 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
