Toshiba Satellite C660D-155 Screen or board
I have a toshiba C660D-155 Laptop on the bench at the moment it has a 15.6" Chunghwa CLAA156WB11 LED Screen fitted which is showing the attached picture im 99% Sure that the screen has failed however the customer advised me that it has been to another IT Company twice before it was brought to me for repair.
Just over 12 Months ago the screen was changed as it was showing the exact same problem and the fault has reoccured now the other IT Company are saying that the fault is not the screen but with the mobo I have been brought in by the owner as they are looking for a 2nd oppinion. I have tested the laptop on an external monitor and it is working fine which makes me think that it is the screen once again.
can any of you guys think what else could have caused the screen to fail twice or why the mobo could have caused the fault.
Thanks in advance
Hi Rudger
I would have been the same as you when I first started dealing with repairs, if it works on an external display then it must be the screen , however I then started at the biggest seller of computers in the UK (I won't give them the satisfaction of actually naming them) and actually learnt that this isn't always the case in fact I had a big argument with a colleague of mine at the time about this situation. I said it was the screen and they said it was the board. Needless to say in the end I had to apologise as they were right (They had been working there for several years).
Now to answer your question I never got to the bottom of how it was the mainboard I just remember it so I hope others could answer that question for you.
What I would do if you haven't already is test another screen on it to see if it is just the screen that has failed, this obviously won't tell you if the board is causing the issue over time though, but I have found that if the board is the issue it won't be fixed even temporary when putting the new screen in. Obviously if the new screen is used and the issue is still the same then you know straight away the issue is not the screen. (I did read the post but couldn't see if you actually had done this)
I hope this makes sense to you and is of help
Oh and have you tried the harness/LCD cable just in case?
I must admit I have always found it to be the screen every time I have seen this problem I always checked with an external monitor and if the display on an external monitor is fine then I have replaced the screen, I have checked the Harness cable and it seems fine, no signs of damage and no improvement if the cable is moved the only problem is I dont have a similar screen to connect to prove the screen
I do agree with you on the fact that 99.99% of the time it is the screen but on the odd occasion I have found it is the board. Without testing a new screen it really is hard to tell where the main problems lie. If someone else has more experience about this sort of thing it that would help also. Where I worked money was no object nor were parts, if we replaced the screen and it didn't work we would replace the board, if that didn't work we would replace the harness. OK this is the right way to go and some would have just called us glorified parts fitters and not technicians although most of us got it right the first time. That is one of the main reasons I left the company.
A couple weeks ago a DV9000 came in with a green screen. Everything looked fine except there was way too much green, but some other colors could be seen. He also took it to a shop which said it was the LCD but they wanted $250 to replace it. I had a cracked LCD which would work and sure enough the green was on there too. The LCD cable looked perfect and no amount of flexing would change the picture in the slightest bit. I started to think it could be the LCD side of the board/GPU because I have seen weird stuff before, but I bought a DV9000 cable and after that the picture was perfect. If the cable isnt too expensive tell the customer you want to go that way and see if the cable does it.
I find it hard to believe the motherboard would suddenly be the problem if before it was the LCD. I think they just got lucky with the cable. A few months ago I replaced a broken LCD and a few days later the customer brought it back with a red screen. Same thing about the cable, I couldnt get it to shift colors on flexing so I thought the LCD might have gone, but I had a cable in stock for that unit and that was the fix.
Hi NYJimbo
The good old DV9000. they are known for their terrible graphics and will forever need reflowing or a new mainboard all the time. You must have got lucky on this one with it being the cable but yes I agree the cables are relatively cheap so this could be an option, even if that isn't the problem it's not too much money tied up until you can use it.
Yes it is hard to believe it is the board but without any other screen to test that can't really be ruled out.
You have 3 options.
LCD, LCD FLEX CABLE or motherboard.
I would begin with the lcd flex cable. sometimes they go wrong
try to wiggle it and see if it changes something
I've had faulty cables that no matter how much you wiggle, twist or wobble the picture doesn't change. Also be carefull as it can also catch fire or give you a shock if there is a broken wire or 2.
Some weird effects you can get from a bad cable are :- A 2 by 2 grid of an exact copy of the screen, i.e 4 identical screens. or 2 screens squashed vertically, 2 inch band down the left side of screen, 4 colour display, wrong colours i.e. blues are green, reds are pink etc. And loads more.
As said above i'd change the cable first if I wasn't sure the cause.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
This thing has made diaq screen a bit easy
If you have the option to test another led with this unit , could be better to test another led if you dont have another cable to try..

Caption: On Oct. 2 at 11:43 p.m. EDT, heavy convective thunderstorms were found in Nadine's northeastern quadrant by NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. Wind shear had separated the center of circulation from this convective activity so, TRMM found virtually no rainfall near Nadine's center. TRMM's Precipitation Radar data reveal in this 3-D image that Nadine's vertical structure had changed significantly by wind shear since yesterday (Oct. 2, 2012). Powerful convective storms northeast of the center of circulation were still pushing to heights of about 12km (~7.5 miles).

Lisa never really left home. She did go away to college … colleges, actually, three altogether, but never stayed longer than a few months. A roommate was mean; professors were boring; administration was unresponsive; etc. The longest she lived away from her parents was for eight months with Rod, her on-again, off-again boyfriend. Sometimes she returned home with bruises, complaining he beat her. But she would get angry when others questioned his caring for her. Finally he terminated the relationship and moved away.
Now, 30-year-old Lisa was home. Ozzie was allergic to her cat, and both parents hated her smoking. She was fired or left jobs after a short sojourn. She angrily resisted suggestions for work or return to school. Her uncle gave her some work at his business, but she was unreliable, and refused most assignments. She alienated her siblings and other family. She responded with rage, pushing her mother and threatening to hurt herself, when confronted. Lisa refused to see a doctor or therapist, and had had no medical care for six years. Ozzie felt they were enabling her dependency and wanted her to leave. Harriet was afraid she couldn't survive by herself. Both were right.

Etsy Take Five Tuesday
Ah handmade… doesn't it just tickle you pink? There are so many delightful things to fall head over heels for over at Etsy. To think that when I launched this column years ago I wondered if enough talented crafters would rise up so that I could keep this column going for awhile – Ha! Guess so because here I am still finding plenty of precious handmade treasures to love. Here are my top five picks for this week, they range from artsy to whimsical, so there is a little something for everything. Enjoy!
Jeremy Miranda is an artist in Salem, Massachusetts with a shop under the same name, Jeremy Miranda, where he sells original paintings and limited run prints. I love his murky, moody palette with almost splashes of pure color being flecks of hope — and that his inspiration is both nature and architecture. Lately he has been painting icebergs and greenhouses because, "They both seem to blur the line between landscape and architecture," he says. Nice work!
Emily Zych in Maryland who runs Which Goose, a shop specializing in mostly vintage-inspired clips and combs for decking your locks with flowers and bows. Such a sweet shop, and she has lovely product photography and a great eye for texture and color to be so young.
Cori Dantini is such a gem, I love her work and find myself doing frequent "drive bys" to see what's new in her shop. Recently, she started to group her paintings and prints by colorway which I find extremely helpful. I like when sellers put themselves into the shoes of their customers to make shopping more fun (and easier!). My dream is that she will someday surprise us with an illustrated book for kids. I'll write it Cori! I can imagine her characters delighting children (and parents) alike.
I love seeing what others make using vintage and vintage-inspired fabrics combined with stitch work, like these pretty bracelets by Amy at Ponder and Stitch. I especially love seeing them displayed in this pretty wooden box.
Maison Paulette is owned by artist and collector Iris Schwarz in Zurich. She seems to gather the most curious objects from flea markets that she offers in her shop and ships worldwide. My favorites are her original pieces of art though, I find them just brilliant! I also love the glass domes that she finds in beautiful shapes and sizes, gently aged as vintage pieces are give them that not too precious "from the shelf" look if you know what I mean.

Once again, you've spotlighted some artists that I've been slightly obsessing over lately–I wrote about Cori Dantini on my blog a few weeks ago and I really, really want to purchase something from her but can't decide what (and have rather limited funds for self-indulgence at the moment). This is also why I'll be buying your book when it's released more widely in the US (hard to get things like it where I live). I LOVE your style!

by Gary B. Cohen, chair
The University of Minnesota History Department has for decades prided itself on the scholarly achievements and renown of its faculty. Yet time and again the very same colleagues who have won accolades for their research have earned the highest distinctions for their teaching and advising. During this past year, we were particularly proud that Erika Lee won the Arthur "Red" Motley Exemplary Teaching Award in the College of Liberal Arts; Thomas Wolfe, the University of Minnesota Council of Graduate Students (COGS) Outstanding Faculty Award; and Kirsten Fischer, the Horace T. Morse - University of Minnesota Alumni Association Award for Undergraduate Education.
Students themselves nominate faculty for the Motley and COGS awards. Erika Lee, who teaches for both the History department and the Asian American Studies program, is an extraordinary mentor to large numbers of students, an inspiration to colleagues in her use of information technology and active learning methods in the classroom, and a creative force in academic programming at the University. Her dynamic and innovative courses in immigration history, modern U.S. history, and Asian American studies speak to the experiences of a growing number of people in Minnesota and at the University. One student wrote glowingly that Lee's classes "inspired me to pursue a degree in Asian American studies, and it was her interest in me as an individual that greatly helped me on that path."
Thomas Wolfe has a devoted following among students as well. The graduate students who nominated him for the COGS award singled out his creative teaching methods and his "uniquely dedicated, compassionate, and individualized approach to mentoring students throughout their graduate education. Approaching each graduate student as his equal, Professor Wolfe continually engages his students in reflective conversations that help them forge their own individual path." In recent years Wolfe has made a particular mark with his innovative teaching of The Scope and Methods of Historical Studies. Introducing graduate students to the professional practice of the discipline in a one-semester course is a challenging assignment, but Wolfe approaches it as an opportunity not only to delve into the methods and analytic approaches of history but into the entire world of scholarship.
The Morse - Alumni Association award is the highest honor for undergraduate teaching and advising given by the University. Kirsten Fischer has garnered high praise for her talent, dedication, and passion as a teacher, adviser, and educational leader. She brings to her teaching obvious respect for students, a highly interactive teaching style, and a prowess for presenting material in a fair and unbiased way, even when discussing highly sensitive topics in the history of American politics, religion, and culture. In taking up such issues, she motivates students to think critically about controversial issues. "Her leadership by example, enthusiasm, creativity, and relentless dedication ... taught me some of the most valuable lessons about learning and research that I have yet received," says a former student. Another student notes, "she has a way ... where she can push you in the right direction, without being overly harsh--but more important, without merely leaving you without any direction at all."
Under the pressures of the daily routine, it is all too easy to overlook the great talents and accomplishments of the friends and colleagues we see every day in our offices and classrooms. The high honors won this year by Erika Lee, Thomas Wolfe, and Kirsten Fischer remind us of what giants we have among us teaching and advising students in our courses.

Crimes of Passion
Description: Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner) is a cold, workaholic sportswear designer, divorced and dedicated only to her job. Once strapped into that role, Joanna looks for an out and finds it by donning a wig and hitting the pavement as a $50/trick hooker named China Blue. Explicit scenes show her at work on her night job, including a long S and M segment with a policeman. While making money as China Blue, Joanna runs into a menacing, fanatic preacher (Anthony Perkins) who is out to save her from this life of sin, but in the meantime, he is also busy watching nude girly shows. As China Blue and the sexually ambivalent Reverend heat up their relationship, he becomes difficult to read: is this psycho reverend a killer? While China Blue is plying her trade, Bobby Grady (John Laughlin) has finally realized after 12 years of marriage that his wife Amy (Annie Potts) is frigid and just as he has this remarkably delayed insight, he is assigned by Joanna's boss to find out if she is stealing designs or not. By tracking Joanna, Bobby sees her transformation as China Blue and as might be expected, sex is not far behind.~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

LOS ANGELES You know who doesn't particularly care why Al Jefferson wasn't named an All-Star Thursday?
Al Jefferson. He said as much after matching his career-high of 40 points in the Charlotte Bobcats' 110-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center.
"I've been disappointed by All-Star Games for years. I've stopped listening to the hype," said Jefferson. "I know what I can do and my goal is to get Charlotte to one of those elite teams in the East. Into the playoffs.
"I feel like if I do that, all that other stuff will come right into place."
Jefferson has been spectacular of late by any standard. In addition to his 40 points (off 18-of-32 shooting), he grabbed 18 rebounds.
He has now gone three straight games totaling 30 or more points and 10 or more rebounds. The only other NBA player to do that this season is Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant.
The Bobcats are 21-27, already matching their win total from last season. They're 2-0 on this West Coast trip, after winning at Denver Wednesday. They're 4-2 without point guard Kemba Walker, who felt too much pain in his sprained left ankle at shootaround Thursday to dress out for this game.
"I just hope this game gives us the confidence we can keep winning on the road," said Jefferson, who has now scored 20 or more points in 11 straight games.
If confidence is rising, Jefferson is the source.
"I have those moments" when he seems unguardable, Jefferson said. "They kept running plays for me and I kept getting to my shot. In the first quarter they weren't going down for me. But I stayed with it and got hot."
The Lakers (16-31) are a terrible defensive team right now. They gave up 52 percent shooting Friday to a large degree because they never kept Jefferson from catching the ball where he most wanted it.
"It sounds simple but we're getting the ball to him lower below the free-throw line," said Bobcats coach Steve Clifford. "He's getting deep (in the post), then we score some cutting baskets, so he's open more. And we're getting into our sets quicker. He has more time to hit somebody else or go (to the rim) himself."
"There are not that many guys who can both score the way he does and deliver passes. There are a lot of ways to score off him and he's a willing passer."
Jefferson wasn't always that way. He didn't have the desire or acumen to pass out of double-teams. That changed in Salt Lake City, where Jazz coaches convinced him that would help both his team and himself.
"I learned in Utah how to move the ball and make my teammates better," said Jefferson, who had four assists Friday. "If we're moving the ball and my teammates are open, that's just going to make me better. Each time they double-teamed me, I felt like I got teammates wide-open shots."
Jefferson was the obvious star Friday, but Clifford was quite pleased with how shooting guard Gerald Henderson (20 points on 9-of-19 shooting) played at both ends.
The Bobcats play the Suns in Phoenix Saturday. Clifford said it's highly unlikely Walker would play that game, but Tuesday in Golden State might be a good possibility.
"He couldn't move," Clifford said of Walker's ankle pain. "He jumped out right away in shootaround."

Good morning, girlies! How's everyone this week?
I hope all our east coasters have managed to get through the visit from Irene? We had thought Debbie (in Nova Scotia) would get hit but by the looks of the tracker this morning, she's going to only get the outer edges of the storm.
Also we (in Scotland) were supposed to get the tail end of her next weekend but I see they now think she's going to go up and over the north Iceland and so avoid us altogether. Of course, things might change by then - and José might gather some power too. Ahh, the unknown quantities of Mother Nature!
Anyway, got some sewing to do today and, of course, the washing which is in the machine as I type. By the looks of it, I should be able to get it outside to dry today. I do love the smell of the washing after it's been hanging outside. :)

Carrie Underwood New Album Blown Away In Stores Tomorrow
We have but one more day to wait for Carrie Underwood's fourth album, Blown Away, its release is tomorrow, Tuesday, May first. And Carrie is just as excited as the fans. Carrie told me she loves to keep her fans in suspense, so to speak, when it comes to guessing about what to expect from her, musically speaking, and that's what makes it all new and exciting for the songstress and hopefully her fans too. Carrie co-wrote eight of the 14 songs on Blown Away, including the smash first single, "Good Girl," and from the music to the artwork and everything else, Carrie says she always wants each new album to reflect a sense of growth and change.
"I love all kinds of music. I love all influences of music, and I feel like you can listen to my albums, especially Blown Away, and find different influences in different songs. And it's so much fun to not sing the same song for 14 tracks. (laughs) And it makes putting together a tour so much fun because you think of all the things visually you can do, creatively you can do, the clothes you can wear, different sections you can have with different kinds of songs in them, and I really feel proud in the fact that you don't know what you're gonna get from one of my songs. You don't know, you know, 'Oh, her next song's coming out. What on earth is it gonna be like? Is it gonna be some giant ballad? Is it gonna be something that makes me cry? Is it gonna be something angry? Is it gonna be something sweet?' Like, you just don't know, and I'm proud of that. I love that. I have fun with that. And that's what it's all about. As long as I'm still havin' fun and loving what I'm doing, I have to think that other people will, too."

Nursing Help! LSU va CSN
- 0Apr 6, '09 by Boogs1203I was recently accepted into Charity School of Nursing and LSU School of Nursing. I know one is an ADN and one is BSN. I want the BSN but I've heard so many positive experiences with charity and how it prepares its nurses. When I ask people about lsu they really don't know. Which one is better school as far as experiernce goes? Which ones has a higher NCLEX passing rate? Does the BSN still pay a little bit more? Can anyone give me some pros and cons of each?
- 0Apr 7, '09 by beejayceeIf you want to compare the NCLEX rates, the La. State Board has annual reports from 2002 - 07 available:
The numbers seemed to have gotten a bit skewed and suffered a bit following Katrina. Hopefully they are settling down again but it seemed as though they were pretty much within a couple of percent of each other.
- 0Apr 7, '09 by mimimartinaYou also think if you'll be wanting to go on for your master's. The BSN will get you there quicker. I am at Charity, and just finished clinicals at Children's Hospital,,,LSU students were there at the same time. So, I think you'll probably get the same basic hospital experiences (location-wise),,,don't know anything about LSU's program, though. Good luck !
- 0Apr 8, '09 by NStiger88it really depends on personal experience because you either get students who go to lsu or who go to charity so one will not know about the other. the nclex pass rates are practically the same. each school has about the same amount to clinicals so either way you will always get a good bit of experience. lsu is three years so you get more classes and anatomy hs a cadaver lab (the students get to dissect them) and yu get a BSN so you dont have to go back to school. BSN nurses do get paid a little more than ASN nurses but im not sure how much. lsu is one of the top ranked BSN programs in LA. it just depends what kind of experience you want out of nursing school.
- 0Apr 15, '09 by apitslifeI am finishing my first semester at Charity now and I too was torn b/w LSU and CSN. The reason I decided to go to Charity is b/c I felt it would get me the best technical training. We spend a lot of time in the hospital and a lot less time in lectures. We basically get "on-the-job" training for 2 years. Charity RNs can graduate and hit the floor running! I have heard from many nurses and my patients during clinicals that they can always tell a Charity nurse!
The BSN is important to me too but there are many ways to get the BSN once your working and making the big bucks. LSU actually has an RN to BSN program that you can do once you're working. You only go to one night class a week (or maybe its a month) so its not bad. My friend just graduated from Holy Cross Nursing and she is working at Oschner. She makes $0.25 more an hour than an ADN on base pay before differentials like nights and weekends. Regarding the NCLEX scores, I'm not sure about LSU but Charity is #3 in the COUNTRY for ADN programs. Our pass rate is 98%.
It's definitely a wonderful school and it was the best decision for me to go with Charity. Good luck deciding what works for you!
- 0Apr 16, '09 by JustKeepSmilingI'm sorry, I just have to respond.
What source tells you that Charity is #3 in the nation for ASN programs?
And the NCLEX pass rate is not 98%.
Don't believe me...
I'm not hating on Charity, I am just sick and tired of hearing them lie to people.
- 0Apr 16, '09 by NStiger88thankyou, i was about to say the same thing!
also, you get 2 1/2 years of clinical experience at lsu sooo they have the same amount of hospital experience...so lsu grads can also graduate and hit the floor...
im also not hating on charity since thats where my sister went.
if i were you i would go tour the schools.
- 0Apr 18, '09 by cpkRNOkay, I'll write in defense here cause I know Ms Natasha and I know she's not hating (believe me, we did our crazy celebrating when we both got our Charity acceptance letters!). So, there is no hate towards Charity here. It's a great school with a great reputation. The problem being discussed here is that staff often inflate numbers (pass rates, rank of school in the country, etc) when you are speaking to them about attending there. I even heard the same fluff at my advising - I heard it first hand. Then, when you go to look up the ACTUAL numbers, they are far from accurate, that's all.
That's not going to stop me from attending school there. It's just disappointing when people aren't totally honest for the sake of making themselves look better (when, in fact, the school is doing just fine! IMHO). I'm sure they're just doing their best to instill a sense of pride in the students, but numbers in official documents don't lie - there are better ways of telling students how great Charity is without the puffing of the numbers.
They sure don't need to "fluff up" numbers to attract students. They have hundreds of applicants every semester and they graduate excellent nurses.
As far as rank in the country, I know it was the #8 ADN program pre-Katrina. Anyone know how that's changed since the storm/closing of big Charity Hospital?
- 0Apr 18, '09 by cpkRNAs for the original topic:
I know nurses who graduated from Charity and nurses who graduated from LSU. Both sing great praises of their respective programs and both feel they received adequate training. Charity has much larger classes compared to LSU so I'm sure that's why you bump into many more Charity graduates.
My deciding factor if I get into the LSU CARE program is simply based on getting my BSN faster, not because I think one school is better than the other. I'm confident that either school trains great nurses.
The decision comes down to what you want - BSN ASAP or ADN then take RN-BSN classes later on. Tour the schools if you want. Both are at completely different ends of the spectrum facility-wise. I felt more accommodated at LSU than at CSN even though everyone at CSN was very friendly. It's really a matter of different personal factors that you want in a school. If I get in to LSU CARE, it'll come down to nitpicking at silly things about each school.

Liz Claman on Warren Buffett's Missteps, and his Fascination with Trains
She chatted with him Thursday ahead this weekend's Berkshire Hathaway board meeting, now FBN's Liz Claman is sitting down again with Warren Buffett this morning, along with Bill Gates, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charlie Munger and Berkshire board member Susan Decker. The interview airs live at 9:30am on FBN. But before Claman questions them, we had some questions for her.
TVNewser: You've interviewed Warren Buffett something like 732 times (maybe an exaggeration) but who from the business world haven't you interviewed, that you're dying to?
Claman: He's a world leader but a business icon too: French President Nicolas Sarkozy. He's the first French leader in decades to strike a Capitalist-friendly tone. He's worked hard to get the French to unclench their fingers– their grip– from the Socialist, nanny-state that's become a way of life in France. He may lose his job because of it. People don't like the austerity measures he's tried to implement but I think he's brave and hyper-intelligent. I've been practicing my French business lexicon for years in anticipation that one day I might land the big "poisson." (French for 'fish')
TVNewser: In the past, your interviews with Buffett have been pretty standard and free of scandal, not this time. How are you going to approach the resignation of his heir apparent David Sokol?

Teas from Korea are just beginning to gain popularity in the United States. Widely unknown, Korean Green Tea is one of the best kept secrets. More akin to a Japanese green tea flavor profile than a Chinese green tea flavor profile; this Organic Sejak Green Tea has a brothy and boldly vegetal cup that pleasantly lingers in the mouth with smooth, mild astringency. The liquor color reminds of an early spring dandelion and the wet leaves smell of dried straw and cooked asparagus with a brighter and thinner cup than our Organic Woojeon Green Tea from Korea. Grown on the volcanic island of Jeju, this loose leaf organic green tea is infused with the salty sea breezes and fertile soil of this pristine area of the world.
Ingredients: organic Korean green tea
Serving Size: one level teaspoon per 8 oz cup of water
Aubrey Says: If you like Sencha Green, then try this tea! It has a similar flavor profile with a Korean twist and is a great alternative for someone looking to replace their Sencha with a new organic tea or want to mix it up!
Jeremy Says: With leaves slightly larger than the Woojeon leaves, this Sejak is a great example of young Korean teas leaves harvested in late April to May.
Posted by wally jasper on 29th Aug 2014
Sejak Korean tea is a delicious Japanese-style green tea, full bodied, kind of vegetal and, as the previous reviewer noted, very reminiscent of sencha. I'm wary of buying food products from Japan since the Fukushima disaster, so was delighted to see this high quality Korean tea with a deeply satisfying Japanese taste profile. I'm so grateful to Arbor Teas for offering this and the Korean Woojean teas.
Posted by Andy on 25th Feb 2014
A very nice alternative to Japanese green teas. Tastes and looks very much like Sencha. Very nice. I will buy this one again.
We at Arbor Teas firmly believe that tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. With that being said, here are some recommendations to get you started, but please remember you can make adjustments based on your own personal taste.
There are three main considerations when brewing tea: quantity of tea, water temperature and steeping time.
Quantity of tea: one level teaspoon per 8 oz cup of water
Water temperature: use water that has been heated until bubbles begin to form on the bottom of the pot (180° F)
Steeping time: 2-3 minutes
Tip #1: Use fresh water whenever possible - water that has been sitting in your kettle overnight may impart a flat or stale taste to your tea. Be careful not to boil your water for too long. Over boiled water can sometimes impart an unwanted taste.
Tip #2: Keep in mind that brewing your tea for too long can extract undesirable bitterness from the leaves, so steeping time matters! For a stronger brew, don't steep longer, just use more tea.
Learn more from our step-by-step guides on how to brew loose leaf tea, how to make iced tea, and how to make tea lattes. And don't forget to check out our Eco-Brewing Tips, too!
There are five significant components found in all tea from the plant camellia sinensis: essential oils, which are the source of tea's delicious flavor and aroma; polyphenols, which are antioxidants that provide the tea's brisk flavor and many of its health benefits; phytonutrients, which are small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids including L-theanine (a very rare molecule that has been found in only three sources including camellia sinensis!) ; enzymes; and methylxanthines, which are a family of alkaloids that include caffeine. Each of these components work differently in the human body and a full description is best left to a medical journal. However, recent research exploring the potential health attributes of tea is leading many scientists to agree that tea, may contribute positively to a healthy lifestyle.
Some research comparing different types of tea has shown that the manufacturing process does affect the level of antioxidants present in the final tea leaf. According to a 2006 review of the beneficial effects of green tea in the Journal of American College of Nutrition, when comparing dry leaves, unoxidized green tea retains more antioxidants than black, oolong, or pu-erh. The catechin (or antioxidant) that displays the greatest increase in green tea when compared to the black, oolong and pu-erh is EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate). (Reference: "Beneficial Effects of Green Tea - A Review" Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Vol 25, No 2 (2006))

Location, atmosphere, staff
The bed was very uncomfortable, the front door handle fell off leaving us stuck outside, the electrics for the bathroom/shower were dodgy!
Lovely breakfast
Noise from disco until 12.30am
Bar was not open and no food as both advertised owers dog was walking round as I don't like dogs and could not get back in the building after going outside as keys didn't work,owner was in the opposite room with door open watching tv with the dogs awful place
Made to feel very welcome by landlord and landlady and the most comfortable bed ever!
Food not available in the evenings and noisy due to evening function and customers leaving the premises late.
Tracey and Peter are mine hosts, both are extremely friendly, nothing is too much trouble. They are both very knowledgeable about the area and other facilities in the town. I'm working in the area and intend to stay there until my project is finished. The rooms are well furnished and well appointed.
Lovely big breakfast and relaxed feel Lovely staff
Wifi wasn't very strong so couldn't get a skype or FaceTime chat to work
Very good breakfast
Good Breakfast. Very helpfull and Friendly
The cleanliness of the bathroom and the bed. I spent a comfortable night.
The language of the young local people in the bar area. The card machine did not work.
Large dog's in side the hotel. Smoky odour throughout the rooms . very noisy
A good location for day trips into all partcs of Wales
Late Satuday night disco.
Clean and smart room. Comfortable bed. Big breakfast with choice. Parking off street (though limited). Very good value for money.
Noisy on a Sat night untll midnight when the bar closed, then good nights sleep.
The only thing we liked about our stay was the room.
Shower poor.TV recrption poor signal kept breaking up. Very noisey in the evening with loud music etc from pub below. Advertised that they do evening meals but when we asked they are not doing them so after a long journey we had to go out again. were not ready for breakfast at time ahreed - had to go out and get milk!!!offrred us porridge then told us they had none. All in all not very good and to cap it all we got charged £120.00 for the 2 night stay when we thought we were paying only £96.00.
-Friendly and helpful staff -Excellent value for money -Provision of fridge and microwave in room -Good sized television with wide range of channels -Comfortable beds and chair -Clean and efficient bathroom and shower -Plentiful tea, coffee, milk provision in room -Excellent breakfast
-Car parking on site limited, and permit only in immediate vicinity -*Minor point * - no shampoo provided in bathroom
We were made to feel welcome and the breakfast was great, no hassle, just lovely
Genuine hospitality from all staff, generous breakfast, value for money. Lovely rooms!
Big Dogs! A little bit tatty in downstairs toilet, bar/restaurant area.
Friendliness from Peter and his staff. Breakfast was fantastic.
The location was ideal we have freinds who live in Potardawe and this was a stone throw Walk from their house. its located in the Centre of the town. Easy to find. The Staff were very friendly and accomodation. we had a late and heavy night at our friends so the Landlord allowed us a late check out and breakfast. The breakfast by the way was fantasic - Full Welsh fry up.
These's aren't want we didn't like but can understand it if this isn't for you. It is B&B pub so you have to understand that when you visit. some of the areas look a little tired but equally they are refurbishing them so this is not a complaint but just so you know what you are getting. This isn't a 5 star Luxury Hotel but it was fun and friendly. Again if you are looking to relax then go midweek as its very calm and peaceful in and around the town. We went on a Bank Holiday weekend so it was very lively and noisey as all the youngsters were in a party mood - so just join in ;-)
The place was dirty and not up to our standard he was doing repairs while we were there the Health and Standard should pay it a visit

Navy jet crashes into Virginia apartments, pilots eject
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Two Navy pilots ejected from a fighter jet Friday, sending their unmanned plane careening into a Virginia Beach apartment complex and engulfing several buildings in flames.
The plane had dumped loads of fuel before crashing, though it wasn't clear if that was because of a malfunction or an intentional maneuver by the pilots, said Capt. Mark Weisgerber with U.S. Fleet Forces Command.

Keep your Raspberry Pi® computer safe and sound in this lovely clear acrylic enclosure.
This case was designed to be beautiful, easy to assemble and perfect for any use (but especially for those who want to tinker!) The case comes as 6 pieces that snap together, made of crystal-clear acrylic. This ingenious design has no screws or standoffs and there are cute little feet cut into the sides so that it stands up above your desk. There are engraved labels on all the connector slots. You can use all of the connectors on the edges of the Pi: HDMI, Audio, Video, SD slot, micro USB power, Ethernet and the two USB ports. We also added a slot so that you can connect a 26-pin IDC cable to the GPIO breakout pins on the Pi and pass it though the case. For more advanced hacking, the enclosure is designed so that you can remove the top piece and plug any sort of cables you wish into the breakouts in the middle. The case is airy enough that no additional vents or cooling is required - the enclosed Pi was tester over a 24 hour period at full load with no significant increase in temperature.
I purchased this case and other lesser expensive cases. I wish I had just stuck with the lesser expensive cases. When I put the order in for this one, I thought it was going to be my "showpiece". It took forever to peel off the protective paper and then after several attempts to assemble it (it is not "easy to assemble"), I ended up snapping off and breaking one of the ends. Never was able to use it.
I purchased two. They looked good in the picture. They are snap together, the squeak and move around a ton. They aren't stable. Since you have to remove the paper from the plastic before you put it together, it took me 20 minutes to assemble both. I would NOT buy one of these again.
I'll admit, assembling this case by removing the laser-cut paper adhesives and snapping it all together is a bit laborious, but as long as you're careful it's a very good case that has a mildly loose fit.
This shouldn't matter considering the Raspberry Pi has no moving parts, so who cares? It's awesome that you can see the entire PCB through the acrylic. Also, love the adafruit logo on it. I don't know why other reviewers are so harsh on it.
Only Con: could be 5 bucks cheaper.
Its a unique clear case, but it may be a tad loose for some people's taste. One thing to note that it takes time to peel off the brown paper off of the included parts. For a more stable case, try one of the injection molded ones.
The Pi Box that I received had a problem with one of the slots in a side panel above and to the right of the HDMI port. It was too short for the tab that was supposed to fit in it. This can be corrected with a bit of filing but it isn't what I expected.
PROs: It is a laser cut case. It is very clear and shows off the PI. Rating is average, if your a hobbyist and want a cool looking case, 4 stars. If you are an integrator or designing a commercial application, 1 star.
CONs: Your not going to just throw this thing together, you are going to spend some time peeling the protective paper off with a magnifying glass and razor. Down to removing the 'bits' of paper left in the crevices of the laser etched logo and labels. The PI board is very loose inside the case, it tightens up when the peripherals are connected. It is a table top case, no mounts for wall etc. If your commercial, going to bounce it around, or looking for value; stick to the injection molded cases not these acrylic ones.
SUMMARY: It is cool, did I mention it is laser cut?! It is a conversation piece.
Seemed like a swell idea, one latch arrived broken, another broke almost immediately, thus this product, otherwise very appealing, needs more engineering.

These areas predominantly constitute homeowners in lower quality smaller detached and semi-detached properties or flats. They are dominated by couples and singles with some retired elements and family groups. They typically populate rural neighbourhoods, small towns and suburbs and are in most cases employed in white collar and manual trades. However we do see an incidence of individuals rising up the professional ladder. Levels of investment and credit risk are both lower than average.

Duggan endorses Warren Evans for county's top seat
Mayor Mike Duggan will endorse former Wayne County Sheriff and Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans' candidacy for Wayne County Executive, he announced July 1. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy was among business, labor and religious leaders who also endorsed Evans.
In an interview with the Michigan Citizen, June 5, Evans said he's running for office because he's "upset about the way the county has been running for the last several years." He says he's the best educated and the most experienced of the candidates.
Evans acknowledged a past working relationship with Duggan. "I've worked with Mike Duggan for the past 20-25 years. I know him well. And I can work with him," he said.
Evans said theories about the incumbent getting him in the race are false. "I'm my own man," he said.
He also responded to questions regarding the shooting-death of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley Jones by a Detroit police officer while Evans was chief — one of the most controversial cases in his professional career.

Enchanting is the action of bestowing a melee weapon with elemental forces through magic. You can enchant a weapon with ice, earth, fire or energy. To enchant a weapon you need a weapon that's enchantable, e.g. a Spike Sword, and an enchanted gem. The colors of the gems match the element they produce. These gems can be made in Holy Shrines.
Level 30+ Premium Druids can make:
- Small Sapphires into Small Enchanted Sapphires (ice) -->
- Small Emeralds into Small Enchanted Emeralds (earth) -->
Level 30+ Premium Sorcererss can make:
- Small Rubies into Small Enchanted Rubies (fire) -->
- Small Amethysts into Small Enchanted Amethysts (energy) -->
Enchanting gems will always cost 300 mana and 2 soul points. Mana used for enchanting a gem counts towards your Magic Level, just like casting a spell does.
To enchant a weapon you have to use the enchanted gem on it. The weapon will now have 1000 charges with which it will do a reduced amount of physical damage plus some elemental damage. A Spike Sword for example has 24 attack, but when enchanted this is reduced to 20 attack and 4 elemental damage. Note that only one type of magic can be active on a weapon at a time.

How a pharmacist can help
You may feel a bit uncomfortable talking about yeast infections with somebody else, but just remember that your pharmacist has seen numerous women with VYIs in his or her career, and will see many more. Trust them to be straightforward and professional, giving you the advice you need while keeping your information confidential.
Pharmacists can advise you on the benefits of treatment formats (creams, tablets or ovules) as well as days of therapy (1, 3, or 6 days). They can explain the difference between combi and non-combi packs and counsel you on how to select the best treatment for you.

Maintaining healthy and clean ice production is essential if you own a restaurant, bar, hotel, supermarket, etc. ACityDiscount can supply water filters for most popular makes and models of ice machines. Select your water filter from reliable manufacturers such as Everpure, Scotsman, and Manitowoc.
Tips from the Experts: "Filtered water is absolutely necessary in some areas, not only to ensure clean ice production, but to prolong the longevity of your ice machine. Some areas have large amounts of sediment or particular chemicals in their water that can affect the productivity of an ice machine, and eventually corrode or break down essential parts." - Josh
