Dear Peet's,
I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to write to you, and for your Solano blend. This coffee is so smooth and flavorful that it has become my favorite blend. Most of all, the aroma of the coffee strikes me with a certain sense of nostalgia. I grew up in Solano county and my father used to take me to the art museum in Berkeley. But before we went, we would always stop so he could get a cup of coffee. We would play chess while he finished it and I can still remember it's distinct smell. Sadly, since then he and I have become estranged. But whenever I drink this coffee it brings me back to a time when things were simple and there was only chess and coffee.

Love this coffee! It is so so good. It has so much flavor but no bitterness at all. My new favorite!!

I love this coffee. I've been drinking Peet's for many years, when my brother would bring French Roast at Christmas, but the last few years I've been buying it myself online. I've run the route of favorites. My top favorite was a Special shipment of New Guinea Gold I managed to get a few pounds of a year or two ago. It's never come again. I've never liked any as much as that until I tried Cafe Solano. It has deep rich flavor, but not so heavy that it tastes muddy. I'm no coffee expert so it's hard to describe why I like it so much. Now I can quite wishing for another shipment of New Guinea Gold. This is a truly great cup of coffee.

This is my new favorite coffee; ever since I started measuring my coffee with tablespoons when brewing it. It's the best ever! It is my understanding that there is more caffeine in lighter roasts, which is how I discovered it.

A wonderful medium roast coffee! I have a Jura Capresso machine, which lets me experiment with varying strengths of coffee and espresso. This blend has a wonderful smooth flavor and perfect finish no matter what settings I use. And that is quite a feat. Most coffees only taste good at one strength setting, or only as an expresso versus brewing as a regular coffee. I recommend this blend to all my friends and family.
- Don , drinking Peet's since befor 2/15/13

At last, a great Peets blend which is not over-roasted. I've been drinking Peets for many years, most recently Top Blend (until it was discontinued), then my own blend of Columbia and New Guinea Highlands, and finally, just straight Columbia. Yes, I know burnt beans are in vogue among Peets enthusiasts, but Cafe Solano has a coffee flavor you can taste without the distracting bitterness of over-roasted beans. Please keep this in stock because Cafe Solano is my blend of choice now.

cute shirt, but didn't last one night
I ordered this online & loved it when I got it. I wore it out for my birthday & got some compliments, but when I got home, I noticed the material was all balled on the front of the top. I didn't have on any bracelets or watches so I don't know what could have caused it. It's really disappointing.

Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables steam perfectly in the bag. According to Birds Eye, their Steamfresh Asian Medley Frozen Vegetables is a blend of broccoli, carrots, baby cob corn and sugar snap peas in a light Asian seasoning. The directions on the bag say that it can be microwaved in the bag for 4.5 to 5.5 minutes, or on the stovetop by adding 2 tablespoons of water and cook for 6 to 7 minutes. I actually chose to do this on the stovetop and it was delicious - and this is coming from someone who does not did not think that they liked anything but raw veggies. There was lots of broccoli as was to be expected since it's the 1st ingredient, and it was firm and crunchy - I think I'm finally beginning to like broccoli. The carrots were short strips (Julienne style), and there was less, but still a plentiful amount of baby corn and sugar snap peas.
Bird's Eye says this is "Specially Seasoned." It was lightly seasoned at best, or maybe their seasoning was so good that it didn't detract too much from the actual taste of the vegetables. Either way, I was glad that the fresh taste of the vegetables shone through. From the ingredients list, the seasoning is actually salt, sugar, dehydrated onion, maltodextrin, dehydrated garlic, black pepper, soybean oil and natural flavor. That seems a pretty common combination to me - nothing "Special" but that's marketing for ya!
Each serving of Birds Eye Steamfresh Asian Medley Frozen Vegetables is 1 cup and each 12 ounce bag has 3.5 servings. Each serving provides only 50 calories, 2 grams of total fat (3% of the daily recommendations), no saturated fat, 13% of the RDA for sodium (310 mg),2 grams of protein and 6 grams of carbohydrates, which includes 8% of the RDA for fiber (2 grams) and 3 grams of sugar.
Finally, something that won't leave you too mad if you eat the entire bag in one sitting. I bought this at Wal-mart for $2.28 and it was worth every penny! Another favorite of ours is the Birds Eye Steamfresh Whole Green Beans.

here is the possibility of gradually ratchet up move in pressuring China,
and currency bill, largely symbolic, is only part of the move. Regarding
to bipartisan consensus, it is through our intel that republican
legislators support the bill, but republican house leadership against it.
Romney has been clearly demonstrated his willingness to list currency
issue, as well as China-related issue as part of his jobs proposal in his
electoral campaign - this is why we are raising the possibility that
potential bipartisan agreement to be built up over China issue. response
to your questions below
On 10/3/2011 4:46 PM, Karen Hooper wrote:
I disagree with the read on the US situation as written here. While you
may be seeing diplomatic moves around the edges of East Asia from
Washington, that is a far cry from a coordinated effort to tackle China
on economic issues. I do not see the bipartisan consensus you point to
here. You need to be clear where that can come from. The bill probably
isn't going to get a vote in the house (right?), which means that the
republican leadership is against it. The Obama administration is
absolutely against it, and as far as that goes the president usually has
more direct power over foreign affairs than a huffy legislature. The
currency issue needs to be re-framed in the context of the election and
the US domestic situation, and toned down.
No real problems withthe strategic section.
Title: In Rhetoric and Reality, Competition Between China and U.S.
Teaser: China makes an easy rhetorical target for U.S. politicians. But
countering Beijing is increasingly a strategic imperative for Washington
as well.
Analysis: The U.S Senate will vote on Oct. 3 they will have voted
already by the time this publishes we will get numbers filled when they
are out on the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011,
which would impose punitive measures on countries that undervalue their
currency. The bill is indirectly targeted at China's manipulation WC:
let's try to stay out of the name-calling of the yuan. According to a
STRATFOR source, the bill might pass in the Senate, but will likely fail
to pass in the House of Representatives it is unlikely to get a vote, in
which case it would not be a question of it passing or not. I think we
are still early to tell. It will be depending upon U.S economic and
political situation if they decide to put the bill into vote, though we
don't want to entirely rule it out, but will tune down The currency
issue has some bipartisan support, however, including that of a few
Republican presidential candidates. Normally against trade regulations,
some Republican candidates are willing to campaign on the issue this
misstates the issue. This is not analogous to free trade, will go with
Aaron's comments to address the concern tying China's rising economic
power to domestic unemployment and President Barack Obama's handling of
the economy.
China always makes a good target for American officials seeking to
demonstrate their worth in the political and foreign policy arenas. As
the U.S. electoral cycle gets into gear, it is worth looking at how many
such steps might be taken, whether they may stoke underlying tensions
between the two countries, and how China might react.
Symbolic Gesture
The currency bill's timing makes it unlikely to push China to appreciate
the yuan. Beijing stepped up measures to appreciate the yuan this year,
as part of its effort to stem inflation and foster economic
restructuring. The exchange rate of the yuan has decreased from 6.83
yuan per dollar when Beijing canceled the peg to the U.S. dollar in July
2010 and allowed the currency to gradually appreciate, to the current
6.38 a ~7 percent appreciation. So, while passage of the bill could
further pressure Beijing, China's own intention to appreciate the yuan
has largely voided the political lever of punishing China China has no
intention of allowing the Yuan to appreciate as much as American
politicians publicly ask for, though, does it? If so, give us some
numbers.certainly, 40% appreciation is impossible. it is for domestic
economic situation rather than under pressure by US, -- Beijing would
be unlikely to react to the bill by allowing its currency to appreciate
at an even faster rate. And debate is still open about whether the move
would do anything to help spur employment in the United States. Branding
China as a currency manipulator, at this moment, would be mostly a
symbolic gesture. ok, "branding" china a currency manipulator was what
was on the table the last go-round of elections. At this point, it
sounds like you are discussing a bill that will specifically punish in x
way countries that are found to be manipulators. The Treasury (which
works for the president) still hasn't classified it a currency
manipulator, has it?. will adjust
But the currency bill might illustrate a growing bipartisan consensus
um, how? to gradually ratchet up pressure on China -- and that, in turn,
could bring underlying tensions between the United States and China back
to the surface. you are hanging too much on this bill. The issue here is
that there is a shit economy, an approaching election and politicians
who need to blame the election on someone. Lots of fingers are going to
be pointed lots of directions, and one of the parties that will be
blamed will be China. There is NO momentum for a real disruption of the
relationship with China. You are mistaking smoke + mirrors for real
policy shifts. we are not seeing policy shift on U.S side, we are
watching the possibility of U.S getting greater pressure on China to
address its political need, the bill is only symbolic, as we noted. The
currency appreciatoin won't address economic concern, then why china?.
U.S. leaders -- both elected officials and politicians seeking office --
use China to show what they can accomplish in the political and foreign
policy arenas no, they use it as a rhetorial whipping-boy. They aren't
actually making any real changes.. But there are also pressing strategic
reasons to pressure Beijing. Steps have been recently taken that
indicate trade tensions between the United States and China are rising.
These include new enforcement measures on Chinese products and the
filing of cases, at the World Trade Organization, seeking compensatory
penalties against Chinese imports This happens all the time. Totally
normal behavior for WTO members... you have to show an actual uptick.
we can get good timeline about latest build up of trade tensions, as
compare to early this year. being said, china and U.S went through
relatively stable period early this year. and trade tension, and
currency bill, they could all fall into a broader U.S-China dynamic that
could possibilty see a different tune compare to earlier this year.
Whether it is rhetoric or not, it could direct China's response and
behavior on those issues, as well as others. . This could extend to the
foreign policy arena, where Beijing perceives Washington as taking
actions to further contain China's strategic sphere.
Competing Strategic Interests
As China's power increases, its interests clash with those of
Washington, for whom it is an imperative to curb the potential rise of a
competitor on the global stage. With China in a phase of economic and
military expansion and having already demonstrated its capability as a
regional power, confronting Beijing is more than a symbolic exercise
with political value in Washington -- it is an important strategic
consideration for the United States.
Meanwhile, as the United States gradually follows a policy to reengage
with Asia Pacific, Beijing perceives greater pressure on its strategic
sphere by the United States.
Myanmar, for instance, is critically important to China's energy
security. Beijing relies on the country to secure sea access for its
southwest gateway, and for its strategy in the Indian Ocean. The new
Myanmar government, since it was sworn in this March, has increased its
contact with the West and taken small steps -- such as the release of
political prisoners and relaxation of censorship -- that pave the way
for U.S reengagement. While the changes are largely superficial,
Washington has responded with multiple diplomatic visits.
Increased maritime security cooperation in the Indian Ocean between the
United States and India comes as Beijing seeks to increase its presence
in the area, while the United States is also showing its intent to
increase Washington's presence in Australia, which would allow
Washington to compete with China's influence in the South Pacific.
The United States is also using multilateral approaches to pressure
Beijing, such as encouraging the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) forum to close a deal by November to shape a pan-Pacific
free-trade zone without China. APEC was created with the intention of
molding a U.S-led regional bloc to further pressure Beijing.
South China Sea
What concerns China most, however, is Washington's growing commitment in
disputes regarding the South China Sea, which is increasingly becoming
the core security issue for the entire region. Beijing will be closely
watching Obama's November Asia tour and his speech at the East Asia
Summit. The speech could have an impact similar to that of Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton's in 2010 at the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum, which changed the regional dynamic
regarding maritime disputes when Clinton said it was in the United
States' "national interest" to ensure freedom of navigation in the South
China Sea. Obama is participating in the forum for the first time, as
the United States attained full membership this year. Ultimately,
Washington will want the summit to go beyond its normal energy- and
economic-centered focus and address regional security issues, giving the
United States a forum to counterbalance Beijing's influence in that
China is an easy target for U.S. politicians in rhetoric, but far less
so in the reality of regional competition. What bears watching is
whether China reads moves such as the currency bill as rhetorical, and
thus issues a measured response, or whether Beijing attaches more
significance to the move, and counters disproportionately. Beijing
clearly wants a good domestic environment to pave the way for its own
leadership transition in 2012. Its response to U.S. pressure will depend
largely on the domestic situation in China this is unexplained. will

Michiganders React to Turkey's Kurdish Incursion
February 28, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Adil James, MMNS
Farmington—February 27—"Let it be over quickly"—that is the prayer of all concerned except perhaps the PKK themselves.
"This is the fourth day of this ground operation, and there have been some determined targets, and the operation is going as planned," explained Mr. Fatih Yildiz of the Turkish Embassy in Washington. "Our sole target is the PKK terrorists—we are taking the utmost care so no civilians are hurt, we made it very sure from the very beginning."
He explains the Turkish government's perspective, that Turkey had made its will known very clearly but without results—"Had the Iraqi authorities taken the necessary measures against the PKK during the five years…[since the Iraq War began] there would be no need for these operations… We tried other ways, trilateral talks… Not only with the Americans, but bilaterally also." Perhaps the Turkish government's demands were beyond the willingness of the other parties to abide with—they demand, in Mr. Yildiz's words, "the extradition of PKK leaders, whose names are on Interpol bulletins, the closure of PKK camps in the north of the country."
In November of 2007, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan came to Washington, DC to meet with President Bush, and there was a general understanding that this was to lay the groundwork for a Turkish military response to PKK killings of many Turkish soldiers.
Turkey estimates that the PKK had about 3,000 fighters in northern Iraq at the beginning of the incursion. Turkish incursion forces, whose numbers are not published by the Turkish government, but are estimated at between 1,000 and 10,000 under air support, invaded the Kandil mountain range in northern Iraq, following five bombing campaigns. Since the incursion, the Turkish military has inflicted some losses on the PKK, which has in turn claimed to have killed Turkish soldiers as well.
The residents of Iraq, whether they be Arabs, Kurds, or Chaldeans, have grave concerns over the potential for disturbance of the peace that rested until now on the shoulders of the Kurds of northern Iraq. And this concern is reflected in the voices of those in Michigan who come from the affected areas.
The underlying grievances are long-standing, consisting of repression against Turkish Kurds and a long-standing military feud. "These people (the Kurds) asked for some freedom inside Turkey," says Umid Gaff, an ethnic Kurd who now lives in Michigan. "They are not allowed to talk their own language," and [the Turkish government] calls them 'Mountain Turks' rather than Kurds. You can't speak your language, can't do school by your language, can't have a Kurdish [political] party."
Mr. Yildiz, on the other hand, emphasizes that Kurds in Turkey do have rights, and are represented in the political process there, some of them reaching very high ranks in the government. "In fact Kurds can speak their language, first of all," he says. And he explains that over the past half decade there have been a number of democratization programs aimed at gaining Turkish admission into the EU that have benefitted all Turks, including the Kurdish people of Turkey.
The view expressed by some Kurds is that an unwanted conflict between their wayward countrymen and the Turkish authorities is spinning out of control—and they fear the repercussions. Umid Gaff explains that "We are not responsible for what happens between [the Turks] and PKK. The PKK does not get approval. Inside Iraq they are without any power from us—we do not support them. The area they are in is mountains, not under Kurdish government control—between Iraqi Kurdistan and Turkey, far from control."
Mr. Gaff comes, as he explains, from the "Southeast of Kurdistan—Sulaymaniyya." Sulaymaniyya is in a more developed region of Kurdistan than where the PKK is conducting its guerrilla war. Mr. Gaff's perspective is perhaps more nuanced because of his experience of the Kandil Mountains—he explains that "Most of this area is mountains that don't have any people—the problem to us," he explains, is that the Turkish military is damaging the infrastructure by "attacking some villages and some bridges."
"In 1993 we had a war with the PKK, supported by the Turkish government." Despite looking in the Kandil mountains for the PKK, "we don't do anything—lost a lot of peshmerga in Iraqi Kurdistan."
"Tomorrow the PKK goes to a different place—can't find him."
Another perspective is that of Iraqi bystanders, who seem universally startled and outraged by the Turkish attack. This is summed up in the words of Kamal Yaldo, who describes himself as an Iraqi activist. "When the Turkish military crossed the border, it was a violation of the mutual interests of both countries. Everyone is seeing what's happening in Iraq now, now on top of this an intervention, an invasion from a foreign military—I mean how much Iraq can take? How much?"
Mr. Yaldo is a Chaldean, born in Baghdad but who has lived in the United States for long enough that only a moderate echo of his original accent lingers in his voice. He explains, "There are 150,000 to 180,000 Chaldeans in the metro Detroit area." This small community is perhaps equal to the number of Chaldeans left in Iraq, as he explains that perhaps half of the original 800,000 Iraqi Chaldeans left Iraq as refugees in the wake of the war and the following instability—during which they and other non-Muslims are often targeted by extremists.
He explains that there is from Iraq also "a small Arabic community living mostly in Dearborn—they are mostly Shi'a, conservatively 15,000 to 20,000."
Also hailing from Baghdad is Michigander Nabil Roumayah—he is the president of the Iraqi Democratic Union. He explains in impassioned terms that the conflict "will lead to further destabilization of the region and Iraq and the whole area. What's happening, it should be resolved by political means—military solutions as we have seen do not produce results, only short-term results."
Says Mr. Roumayah, "There is a genuine problem for Kurds in Turkey. They are discriminated against—this has to be solved politically. The problem of a Kurdish minority in four countries—has to be solved politically… Nobody is asking for a state, but they need an economy, like everyone else in the world."
The ghost of reconciliation is the silver lining in this cloud of war. Says Mr. Gaff, "We don't like to fix the problem by the gun. We don't like the gun—don't like to shoot, don't like to kill anyone. We don't have any problem with the PKK, but don't support them in that."
"We want good relations with the Turkey government, they help us after 1991," explains Mr. Gaff, referring to Turkish government support for the Iraqi Kurds who suffered reprisal attacks from Saddam Hussein after the Gulf War.
Gaff's sincere appreciation of the support from Turkey for Iraqi Kurds is a reflection of Turkish feelings of support for the Kurds. "In the economic trade sense," explains Mr. Yildiz, "Turkey is the primary counterpart of the recovery process in the north of the country. Most of the commodies transported there are from us. Turkish businessmen are quite active in the region in rebuilding that area. Any kind of instability in the region or in Iraq will not be in the interests of Turkey—it is fair to say that the presence of a terrorist organization in the north is a key element of instability."
All of the voices of Iraq seem to resonate on one point, the desire for a quick end to the fighting. Fatih Yildiz, speaking for the Turkish Embassy in Washington, explained that "As soon as the planned objectives of the operation is achieved, our troops will be leaving northern Iraq."
Mr. Gaff echoes in a few well-chosen words the underlying fear of all of the others—"That's the point, we are scared, don't want these people [the Turkish military] to stay a long time. We are scared they may pass these people [the PKK] and attack the villages."

The study — "Seizing the Manufacturing Moment: An Economic Growth Plan for the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky" — concludes that, with America experiencing a resurgence in manufacturing, the Louisville-Lexington region is uniquely poised to take advantage of the economic trend. However, the region must focus more intently on innovation, research and development and improve the workforce so people have the right skills for these 21st Century jobs.
The report was released today by Lexington Mayor Jim Gray and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and in partnership with the Brookings Institution of Washington D.C. It's the culmination of a two-year effort by the mayors through the BEAM project, an idea the two created in January 2011, during a University of Kentucky/University of Louisville basketball game at the KFC Yum! Center.
Gray and Fischer, at the time both new mayors and both businessmen with strengths in the manufacturing sector, enlisted the assistance of Brookings to develop a business plan. They also created the BEAM board with academic and corporate leaders from the region.
"We are fierce competitors on the court, but we are now fierce partners in economic development," said Gray. "The study proves that Central Kentucky has manufacturing in its DNA, and it provides a roadmap for building on that advantage, and turning Central Kentucky into a global manufacturing hub."
"This report validates that, if we make targeted and strategic investments, our region can be known globally as the place for manufacturing," Fischer said.
Some of the key findings from the Brookings report include:
- Almost 2 million people live in the BEAM region and it accounts for $92 billion in gross domestic product — or 53 percent of the state total;
- The region contains more than 1,600 firms producing a variety of goods (including 97 percent of the world's bourbon);
- Over the last three decades, manufacturing employment and growth have not kept pace with the nation — but the region still has 100,000 manufacturing jobs
- Manufacturers are investing billions in Central Kentucky, and the number of jobs posted in manufacturing in Kentucky has risen 66% in the last two years.
The report also recommends six key strategies:
- Solidify the partnership between Louisville and Lexington to grow more jobs and collaborate on growth strategies;
- Become a world-class center for advanced manufacturing by developing a skilled workforce equipped to meet the demands of the 21st century industry;
- Develop an integrated ecosystem of support for advanced manufacturing centered on innovation and technology;
- Increase global demand for made-in-Kentucky products by helping BEAM manufacturers tap new and expanding export markets;
- Beyond manufacturing, invest in targeted regional assets to diversify the economy into technology-based firms and knowledge industries;
- Strengthen the region's competitive position by enhancing its metropolitan areas as attractive places to live, work and do business.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

President Obama announced that he was sending Hillary Clinton to Burma. He
made the announcement with Secretary Clinton by his side, though she did
not speak.
I understand that travelers heard the comments in the filing center, but
here are highlights.
"For decades Americans have been deeply concerned about the denial of
basic human rights for the Burmese people," he said. "However, we've
always had a profound respect for the people of Burma and the promise of
their country."
He said the promise and persecution has been symbolized by Aung San Suu
"After years of darkness we've seen flickers of progress these last
several weeks," he said. He said the government had taken important steps,
including releasing political prisoners and relaxing media restrictions.
"Taken together these are the most important steps toward reform in Burma
that we've seen in years. Of course there's far more to be done."
"We want to seize what could be an historic opportunity for progress."
He added it was unclear whether Burma was prepared to fully transform
itself. But the possibility for brighter future was "too important to

Post subject: Favorite Beverages
Well, lots of people say that you can tell a person by their handshake, but since we really can't shake hands, I figured this was the next best thing.
Now I know that we've probably been around eachother so long, and know eachother relatively well, but I just ove being able to get to know you guys better, since so much seems to change when I go AWAYS....!
And so, yeah, in spirit of true Spawn Strangeness, I present to you, my favorite beverages:
1. Grape Juice: It took me awhile to realize it, but I adore this stuff! I'm most familiar iwth cncentrate, but you're doind yourself a great disservice if you don't get it directly from the grape. Some wineries I've visited usually have a non-fermented beverage for the kids, and when I tired that I loved it! I love juices in general, but this is the ultimate! I also love sparking grapejuice (if you ever wanna egt on my goodside, evar, I could hate your guts, but if you give me my own bottle of sparkling grapejuice, I'll love you)
2. Coke-a-Cola: it's fizzy, sweet and still maintains it's flavor after ice melts and it's become more water than actual soda...
3. Sweet Tea: Alright! I confess! I was born bred and raised in the south!
I adore sweet tea, and you can have it with just about everything!
[[{edit} Weeeell, It looks like we can't talk about alcohol anyways, I'm sure there's some alternate online community where you can though, and if it's in your top 3 I'm sorry you wern't able to tell us about it, and as soon as I learn telepathy, you can tell me an everyone all about it! XD {/edit}]]

To edit Spegg's alcohol-related comment: Don't give us recipes. There are children around, still.
My favorite drinks?
<.< Water...
After that, probably apple tea. But mostly water.
EDIT'd: My third favorite is probably strawberry milk. Thanks for the reminder, BS...

Top Three, right?
1. Mountain Dew Voltage: I love the flavor (I don't know what it is), and the high caffeine.
2. Regular Pepsi: I start my day wish these. I think it's better than coke.
3. Who's Your Daddy Energy, Cranberry: good stuff. I can't get it around here anymore, but the caffeine got me through a tough stretch of finals last year.

Actually, if we could just not mention any favourite alcoholic drinks in this thread all-together (as per forum rules), that would be awesome.
1) Cookies n'Cream milkshake
2) Lime (yes - lime) milkshake
3) Rootbeer milkshake (nom nom nom)
Also, there is an elderberries pop from England I found recently, but I can't remember what it's called. Pretty good as far as non-milkshake drinks go!

1.) This pineapple juice I had in Nicaragua. I still daydream about it - it was literally the most delicious thing I've ever tasted.
2.) Pepsi - we were born in the same city.
3.) This one ties. I could say Blackberry Izzie, or Welches Sparkling grape juice, or Root Beer, or lemonade, or pomegranate juice, but let's go with something warm, shall we? Chai, the way my brother makes it. That or hot black tea. I'm really not sure - any of the above.

There are several sites I've been frequenting that talk about what various drinks mean, they're very interesting. It also notes that a guy drinking water, alone, in a bar, you probably don't want to mess with...especially if s/he looks nothing like anyone else in the bar.
1) Hot Chocolate: Personal favorite is this recipe she found in a smoothie book, which is very simple: Good Chocolate+Whole Milk+Heat & Time (double boiler, naturally, though she has done it once without). I tend to get cold hands easily, and it's chocolate. What more could you ask for? *puts on her Jack Skellington gloves*
2) Blackberry Juice: Especially sparkling.
3) Oh...*weighs strawberry lemonade against fresh pineapple juice* Fresh strawberry takes the bronze.
What she actually ends up
most of the time is water and Capri Sun, but that's unrelated.

1) Tea with a drop of milk, no sugar. (Brand is important Barrys being my first choice, then any of the following, PG, Lyons or Robert Roberts)
2) Apple/Orange juice. I go through phases of liking one or the other but never both at the same time.
3) Water

I'm very much from the South. I drink sweet tea and coke. My other favorite beverage is probably sparkling water. My friends hate the stuff, but I love the bubbles. I drink almost exclusively water, though. I find coke and tea lose their taste if drank too often, so I drink them maybe once every few weeks to a month, and they're delicious because of my habits. I also tend to only drink sweet tea made by myself or my family or friends.

Located in vibrant downtown San Diego, Petco Park is easily accessible by both public transportation and personal vehicle. The Trolley--with three stations within steps of Petco Park--remains a primary choice for many ballpark guests. Fans traveling from North County can ride the Coaster train and transfer to the Trolley at Santa Fe Depot. Those who drive can choose from a variety of downtown parking lots and garages. All guests are strongly encouraged to follow these helpful tips:
Take public transportation. Leave the car behind and take advantage of the San Diego Trolley's service from the north, east and south, as well as service provided by the COASTER or bus. Park and Ride lots are located along all three Trolley lines, including 5,000 free spots at Qualcomm Stadium (unless there is a major stadium event).
Choose a parking location based on where you'll be heading after the game. For example, if the final destination is coastal North County, it is wise to park in an area that provides easy access to northbound Interstate 5.
Take advantage of pre-paid parking. Choose a parking location when purchasing game tickets.
Play Downtown. Arrive early and stay late to take advantage of the downtown's exciting array of restaurants, clubs and shops.
Budget Your Time. Plan to arrive early for all midweek day games and sold-out events.
Be Different. Use under-utilized routes to enter and exit the ballpark area, such as Route 94 and Harbor Drive.
Padres preferred parking is available adjacent to Petco Park. On weekends, special events and other large crowd games, guests should plan on utilizing public transportation or parking facilities a short walk from the ballpark.
With Petco Park ideally located at the hub of San Diego County's public transportation network, taking the Trolley, Coaster or bus to the ballpark area is a convenient way to go.
On high traffic days, we recommend alternate ingress and egress routes to Petco Park.
Guests may tailgate at Tailgate Park on a limited basis. Guests are required to park in spaces as directed by ACE Parking upon arriving to Tailgate Park.
For fans traveling by car, four major thoroughfares feed into and out of downtown in all directions: Pacific Highway, Interstate 5, State Route 163 and State Route 94/Martin Luther King Freeway.
The San Diego Padres continue to make a concerted effort to accommodate all fans, including those with disabilities.

Lower East Side hotels
Authentic history and character oozes from the Lower East Side
The Lower East Side of New York City offers travelers unique charm, from its storied past to its gritty alleys and tenement complexes. Once a place of less-than-sterling reputation, the area now attracts visitors and locals from all five boroughs of the city. Travelers who want something different from the ordinary vacation experience find the Lower East Side fashionable, affordable and a contemporary haven for artists, music lovers and urban professionals. Bargain clothing stores, trendy boutiques, Jewish delicatessens, art galleries, French cafés, ethnic restaurants and velvet-roped nightspots create a multicultural blend as diverse and exciting as any cosmopolitan spot on earth.
Getting there
You can easily get to New York's Lower East Side by bus, subway or taxi. Four airports and six Amtrak train stations are within 30 miles of the city, and shuttles, buses, subway trains, car rentals and an interconnected public transportation system make getting anywhere in the city easy and fast. Driving a car in Manhattan can be problematic because parking is pricey and street parking often difficult to find. Hotels charge extra for parking, so be prepared for that premium if you're going to drive. Visitors can hail a taxi directly on the street in the Lower East Side, and public transportation options enable them to get anywhere in Manhattan quickly.
Best time to visit
Visiting the Lower East Side is like visiting any neighborhood in New York City, climate-wise. Travelers can choose spring and fall for enjoying street festivals, outdoor entertainment and mild weather. Nonstop holiday partying occupies people in the city from the first of December until New Year's Day, and includes festive holiday window displays, nearby Rockefeller Center's famed Christmas tree, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and edgy Lower East Side live musical celebrations on New Year's Eve. Gourmet visitors can find the best tables during July and August, when locals depart the city for their own vacations and long weekends. Bargain hunters find the best prices from January to April, when hotels offer remarkable discounts.
Lower East Side attractions include shopping, nightlife, art galleries and museums. Visitors can enjoy innovative, self-guided tours by using the Lower East Side Cell Phone Tour application, enabling them to listen to native New Yorkers explain what's important about various cultural sites. Other area attractions include:
Indie Rock Clubs
Rivaling the trendy reputation of any New York neighborhood, the Lower East Side features a downtown vibe and mixture of seasoned performers and emerging musicians. Many concert venues double as bars throughout the neighborhood, and these hotspots include The Mercury Lounge, Arlene's Grocery, The Living Room and Cake Shop, Delancey and Rockwood Music Hall. Visitors find nearly door-to-door late-night entertainment venues for all musical tastes.
Festivals on the Lower East Side include the Lower East Side Film Festival, where BYOB screenings of emerging talent engage film fans, and the Hester Street Fair at the corner of Essex and Hester Streets. Activities and events include interactive gambling, the Grub Street Food Festival, music, games and pushcart shopping. Similar festivals occur throughout the year to celebrate the Lower East Side's Chinese, Jewish and Puerto Rican cultures.
Lower East Side Tenement Museum
This cultural icon attracts scholars, visitors and locals who want to explore their immigrant roots. Dedicated to the city's waves of immigrants, the museum features costumed interpreters, sponsors walking tours of the Lower East Side, and re-creates typical immigrant living conditions at various times in history.
Lower East Side Hotels
Lower East Side hotels include bargain accommodations, towering hotels with all amenities, and trendy boutique hotels. You can easily find the best fit for your preferences in this eclectic neighborhood, whether you want to club-hop, shop, experience offbeat thrills, visit the more than 100 art galleries, or get easy access to indie record stores.
The Lower East Side offers a more gritty and genuine New York experience than visitors usually get when traveling. From burlesque shows to late-night diversions, the Lower East Side offers head-banging, shopping and cultural attractions like no other NYC neighborhood.

Time to do a hyper-fast rundown. Ready? Okay. I'm tired out already. Whew. Where to start?
There are the obvious woes of the Giants, the ah-mazing hit streak of Pablo Sandoval, the creepily good resurgence of the big Z, what's wrong with Timmy… all that good stuff. But what's really taken over the news today is the announcement that Aubrey Huff is on the 15-day Disabled List with an anxiety disorder. I don't think it's what anyone was expecting out of the Huff announcement and it certainly raises a lot of questions. Personally, I would hope we can all back off a little at the moment and just send positive thoughts his way, for whatever he might be dealing with. He is a person first and a baseball player second.
With that said, Andrew Baggarly, over at CSN, reported this afternoon that Huff is going through a divorce at the moment and raised a good deal of ire within the fan ranks – people saying that was an invasion of privacy or just classless/in poor taste to report. I think a lot of what is being said about Huff should carry over to Baggarly, honestly. Bottom line, he's trying to do his job. They both are. The whole thing is unfortunate, to say the least, but empathy all around is the best tactic, I think. Aside from the fact that I absolutely adore that word, even. Isn't "empathy" a fantastic one?
Onwards! For a short and wonderful time, the A's were the first team in MLB history to have three Aussies on the team. (As my brother quipped, "Because the A's are so aussie-ome." Score, darling. You should read my blog more.) Then they DFA'ed one of 'em, so they're not quite so down-under heavy anymore. But they still have two. And two is making me grin and be glad to be in the Bay Area, even if I'm only vaguely A's sympathetic. Don't shoot me, guys. Vaguely.
Lastly, a shout-out to Joe Martinez, former Giant extraordinaire, who was called up by them Diamondbacks today. I am not the least bit D-Back sympathetic, but I do hope Joey does well because I love that guy. It's okay if the Diamondbacks beat us just a couple times this season, right? In completely non-key games and stuff. Yeah, it's okay? Good. I am glad to agree on this.
