The rug was beautiful --- so soft to walk on. But, the color I ordered -- -- a dark charcoal --- displayed in my house as a navy blue. I realize lighting plays with color --- wish this had worked out for me.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The color was not even close to the color represented on the web site. I ordered the charcoal color --- when I spread the rug out it looked navy blue --- I had to return it and pay the shipping.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.My husband and I were a little disappointed when the rug arrived. We did not feel that the edges of the rug were finished very well, and looked pretty cheap. It was not what we were expecting after spending $650. On the plus side, the fabric is very soft and shiny, just as described on the website.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.We searched far and wide for a rug after renovating our home, we came across this rug and it was AMAZING, soft and beautiful and well made. A friend of ours ruined it, so we had to find a replacement which is when we found RUGSUSA.com, thank you for making my home complete again! This rug is one of the best rugs i have ever owned, touched, rolled around on- Perfection!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.LOVE this rug. The color is much more vibrant then the photo displayed on the website. It has a beautiful, silky shine to it and feels fantastic on bare feet! I didn't initially purchase the recommended rug pad but I think it is a good idea since the rug is not very thick.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Momeni rugs are created to touch our senses. The Momeni standard of quality, elegance, and sophistication has been recognized time and time again with America's Magnificent Carpet Award in Atlanta Georgia.

Calm down McClung Nation
Baseball February 10th, 2010
After reading this great interview at Right Field Bleachers with Seth McClung and reading the comments of my last post I felt the need to address McClung Nation. Seeing as this was the only blog name dropped in the article.
Seth McClung is "just a guy that's very fortunate to play baseball". He's genuine, he's down to earth, he's a good person. He's what we'd all like to think we'd be like if we played baseball. He's not Ryan Braun who, based on reactions we've gotten in the past year, is a douchebag that you wouldn't want anything to do with if he couldn't hit a baseball. He's not Alcides Escobar who from all accounts abandoned his wife and daughter and he's not Trevor Hoffman, a first ballot Hall of Famer who has played since some of you were born and made millions of dollars. Seth McClung was someone we could all relate to as a human being and that's pretty cool. I believe all of these things and I think Seth was a pretty cool guy during his time in Milwaukee. He really tried to connect with the fans and his twitter was always entertaining, be it for the things he said or the way he spelled them.
(Speaking of twitter, this line in the interview was kind of bullshit. "I apologize to whoever Miller Park Drunk is about my misspelling things on there. I'm sorry that you don't understand that 140 characters is usually 140 characters and I don't really have a great spell check on my phone, but I hope everybody enjoyed it as much as I did and I enjoyed the fans. It was just my way of connecting." I do understand the character limit and that doesn't really make up for the fact that honored isn't spelled honerred and memory isn't spelled memorey (via) and a thousand other examples I could come up with if the account still existed. Either way, I was just making a joke and his spelling had no effect on my feelings towards him as a person or a player. So you're bad at spelling, who cares? There's no need for excuses. I'm bad at writing a blog. It doesn't matter. We're both good guys.)
Seth, along with his so-called doppleganger Todd Coffey, ranks highly on my 2009 Brewers I'd like to drink with and that's just about the highest compliment that I can give to someone. I liked him on the team which is more than I can say about a lot of players. However, this statement just isn't really true: Read the rest of this entry »

This tea is very refreshing and a great alternative to black tea and better for you only gripe is you cannot buy this instore any more and have to buy it online so need to order more to save paying postage I would recommend anyone to try this but as said in another comment you do not need 2 heaped teaspoons as this is very sweet adjust to suit your own taste buds
Tried this out today as looking for an alternative, you only need a small amount (not as recommended on tin) as it\'s very sweet, but as many before me, very very lovely, refreshing and moreish.I asked the shop assistant today why only half a tub - it\'s because it has splenda in it and splenda weighs less therefore, and I quote, \"you get the same amount but it weighs less due to the splenda\". Not sure about that one, might be better to simply have it in a smaller tub? Nonetheless, very lovely and may well be purchasing more :-)
I love this green tea, I drink it every day so it is very annoying that it is so often out of stock, especially because there is no Whittards on the Isle of Wight where I live, so I have to order it on line!
I love your green tea instants. So amazing tasting and addictive. Though i would prefer for there to be more in the pack - like someone said earlier the packaging is misleading - plese put more in so we get more for our money because it is so amazing!!!!
I bought this and the other low calorie varieties just because they were low calorie which is unusual for instant tea. I wasn't disappointed with the flavours and the packaging is also lovely but very misleading as they were only half full. Would not buy again at full price but will look forward to when they are on special offer.

Pop Culture Icons Inspire Fall's Most Exciting Makeup Collections
In the beauty world, MAC has long ruled the realm of collaborations and themed collections. In the past month alone, the brand has released limited-edition collabs with rapper Azealia Banks and French fashion editor Carine Roitfeld—both of which we're obsessed with.
Next up is a makeup line inspired by Marilyn Monroe (will we ever get sick of this woman? The answer, it seems, is no). The collection is fittingly both flashy and classic.
But this fall, MAC isn't the only brand getting in the collaboration game: NARS and Sephora have also mined the pop culture archives for limited-edition collections that we're swooning over. NARS has brought the world of Andy Warhol back to life and Sephora has teamed up with Disney for a whimsical Cinderella lineup.
From the vibrant packaging to the aptly-named products, all three brands have nailed it. They'll undoubtedly be flying off shelves, so click through below to get shopping!

I don't think that an OTA football deal and a largely religious based channel are similar to what Longhorn Network will be. My main concern with it is the lack of content. Two football games aren't going to cut it. The closest thing out there that's similar to this is the Fighting Sioux Sports Network in North Dakota. Obviously, that's on a smaller scale but it's the only college regional network that I know of and I believe that it's only a part-time channel.
You are grossly underestimated what BYUTV is going to be. From what I have read it will basically go to an all sports channel. They plan to show live broadcast of over 140 BYU sporting events a year. Also they plan to have a college game day type show before every game. I truly believe it will be the envy of any program out there, as far as fans getting to see their team.

I have been writing and speaking on the topic of psychotherapy and mental health maintenance for years and the number one question people ask me is: "Am I crazy if I seek therapy?" Most times the answer is, "No." In fact, most successful and happy individuals work(ed) with a therapist or confidant. Look, everyone has a bag of "crap" – EVERYONE. And, this bag is filled with unresolved issues, traumatic experiences, disappointing moments and personality 'quirks' from the time we were born. So, by the time we become adults, our challenges show up in our personal and professional relationships.
When we don't address our issues as they arise, normal challenges can cause significant problems in our relationships and even contribute to the development of certain mental illnesses like depression and anxiety or personality disorders like boarderline and narcissism.
Instead of asking, "Am I crazy if I seek therapy?" the question should be, "How should I begin working through the issues in my bag of crap so I can stay or become healthy and whole?"
Here are some tips:
1. Accept the reality that you are not perfect.
2. Make a commitment to taking personal responsibility for your behavior: past, present and future.
3. Remind yourself that you are conditioned to thinking, feeling and behaving in ways in which you are probably unaware. As a result, it will take time for you to fully identify and understand how you experience the world and how the world experiences you.
4. As you look for a therapist, try to select someone who is empathic of your experiences and feelings and can help you through your fears, anger and defenses.
Let me know how your journey goes and feel free to ask with questions. Best of luck to you!

Another chapter in my tasting adventures…
Each time I visit Washington, I find a new exciting group of wineries in yet another region I previously knew little about. This time it's the Tri-Cities of Pasco, Richland and Kennewick. With my daughter in college in Walla Walla, I found that travelling this route, which requires a shuttle or car rental from Pasco into Walla Walla, is a bit easier and more convenient. There are direct flights into Pasco from Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Denver and Las Vegas, among others.
My last piece on Washington wines covered wineries along the way from Seattle to Walla Walla for those who make the drive. I then covered Walla Walla entirely during the holiday barrel tasting weekend and now I'm covering this small area just outside of Walla Walla.
It's a dry, sunny stretch with an average 300 days of sunshine, and it sits at the intersection of three rivers: Columbia, Snake and Yakima. For visitors that look for more than just a wine tasting trip, this is ideal. More ambitious activities include kayaking, fishing, sailing and even cycling. But, with only a short afternoon between my flight from Chicago and my dinner in Walla Walla, I devoted my time to a small stretch of wineries – Tulip Lane – only miles from the airport. There are over 150 wineries with a 50 mile radius of the Tri-Cities, making it a true center of the Washington wine region. But even in a short time frame, I had a lovely tasting experience and a good feel for this smaller area, with but a dozen or so wineries.
Our first stop right off the plan was for lunch and a tasting at Tagaris Tasting Bar and Restaurant (844 Tulip Lane, Richmond). This enormous place looked more like a mountain lodge, with a dark wooded feel and seats for hundreds. Fortunately, the outdoor patio was still open in October and while it was only in the 60s, the sun kept us nice and toasty for lunch. The Mediterranean menu is casual, with salads and sandwiches, but the array of wines was enormous. As per my other visits, the range of grape varietals planted in the state are broad and always surprising. Just in the whites, Tagaris offers a clean and crisp citrusy 2009 Sauvignon Blanc, fruity 2008 Rose, 2009 dry Riesling, 2009 Chenin Blanc, 2010 Gewurtztraminer, 2011 Muscat Canelli, 2011 Semillon, 2010 clean, acidic and green apple tinged Chardonnay and 2010 Pinot Gris. It's hard to believe all of these varietals grow in the area but indeed they do.
Reds have an equal breadth from the 2006 Red Roan (79 percent Syrah) to a variety of Merlots, Cabernets and a Cabernet Franc, as well. Reds then move toward Italian varietals such as the 2009 Sangiovese and 2009 Barbera. We tasted about a half-dozen of the wines and they were delightful with the simple fare – uncomplicated wines of medium body and moderate extraction. The wines are made in a style that's suitable for everyday drinking.
We had our first taste of Tulip Lane then wandered down the short road to stop two: Barnard Griffin Wines (878 Tulip Lane).
The family owned winery, opened in 1983 by Rob Griffin and Deborah Barnard, initially has an incredibly small production of only 400 cases of Fume Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling. Now, 30 or so years later, Barnard Griffin has grown into a consistent and integral part of the Washington wine landscape. The tasting room features the beautiful blown glass artwork of Ms. Barnard. It's open everyday from 10AM-5PM. Once again, there's a mind-bending array of single varietal wines. We tasted an array of these wines and enjoyed the lovely unctuous Roussanne and one of the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignons. Others include whites such as Fume Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling and Merlot, and reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Non-Vintage Cab-Merlot and Syrah, among many others.
Our last stop on this short trip down Tulip Lane was to the Bookwalter Winery tasting room (894 Tulip Lane). Considered one of the 'cult' wines of Washington, with an active wine club or 'Book Club' as it's called, Bookwalter wines features such beauties as the 2010 ForeShadow Cabernet and ForeShadow Merlot, 2010 Protagonist and Notebook table wines. These are finely crafted wines with bright fruit yet a good dose of elegance. We enjoyed tasting through these on our way out.
Watch more information on this family owned winery here on these videos. Stay tuned for more adventure in wine – from shops in Chicago to Napa Valley, with stops along the way to other wine regions like Washington. Please chime in on your wine adventures and lets start a conversation.

"Kenny Powers would stomp me to death," said HBO president Michael Lombardo, when asked to spill some plot points about the upcoming fourth season.
He did offer this: "You'll find Kenny struggling with marriage, suburbia and his continued demons."
Those demons have already fueled three seasons of bawdy antics for the locally filmed series, which premieres its fourth and final season Sept. 29.
Still, it may not be the last we see
of Kenny and the gang.
Lombardo said he thinks McBride and Hill are "open to not having the characters go into the sunset" completely.
Whatever Kenny's fate, McBride and Hill are continuing their relationship with HBO. Lombardo said the duo are developing a half-hour show about high school.

Ah Sunday, that quiet restful day at the end of the week. Not at Comic Con! Turn out look to be up on Sunday against last year, from my observation, with a lot of young kids and families on hand. This makes me think a few things: Could NYCC be outgrowing the Jacob Javits Center? and if it is, where else in New York City could it move to? Would it leave Manhattan? Would it … Continue reading

A hunk of wood. Thats not usually where I start when it comes to sea trials. Doesnt seem relevant. Boaters in the Northwest go out of their way to avoid hunks of wood deadheads lurking in the cold, deep waters.

The first Nordic Tug a 26-footer was introduced to the boating community at the Seattle Boat Show in 1980, and it hit the sweet spot in the market. Boaters were having a hard time with the high and getting higher cost of fuel, and the small, stylish, tug-like vessel cruised along at 6.5 knots while burning only 0.5 gallons of diesel per hour.

It has been more than six years since West Bay SonShip splashed down a new boat, but youd never know it by looking at the builders new 72-foot Skylounge. The Vermeulen family has been in the boat-building business for nearly a half century, and it is clear the skills they have developed during that time have not dulled.

There's a saying, Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans. Well, for Jeff Druek, president and CEO of Outer Reef Yachts, life is certainly running at blazing speed, forcing him to change plans regarding his new Outer Reef 700 Long Range Motor Yacht (LRMY). And that's good for you. Here's why.

Lets get one thing clear right from the start. There are no references to kings, queens or princesses in this review; nor are there other obvious monarchial monikers. Why? Because the Princess 82 Motor Yacht doesnt need to be boosted by innuendo or crowning superlatives.

I dont always come up with pet names for the boats I test, but sometimes a name just coalesces and sticks. Such was the case with the Azimut 45 Fly. After walking through the yacht and realizing there are four distinct hangout areas on the 45-footer, it occurred to me to name it Social Butterfly.

Dyna Yachts might not be a household name in the U.S., but the company has been around since 1986, building boats in Tainan City, Taiwan, an area known for its boat-building prowess since Chinas dynastic days, more than 500 years ago.

Coastal Crafts new 65 Concord is a marked departure from the builders previous vessels. Rather than incorporating the usual aggressively styled forward-sloping windshields, reminiscent of the tough, well-built work and crew boats that bash about in Pacific Northwest waters, the builder opted for a more traditional and elegantly styled upper works.

Whenever boaters gather for a beer, one person perhaps growing bored or tipsy throws out a statement that usually revs up the discussion. Two hulls are better than one, or some assertion along those lines, starts a discussion, perhaps age-old, about the merits of a catamaran over a monohull.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in her shoe. The old English rhyme details the somethings a bride should wear on her wedding day for good luck, and it seems Beneteau borrowed its advice.

When a builder of a successful line of boats introduces a new model, it is examined carefully to see if the new features improve or detract from the original. The new Cutwater 30 Command Bridge from Fluid Motion Inc., with a cleverly designed top helm, faced such an examination.

The name of the yacht side-tied across the fairway the one our boats pulpit came agonizingly close to as we left the slip was Sea Flat. While that is likely an homage to someone musical in the owners family, or maybe the owner, it was an appropriate name for the water conditions on San Diego Bay on a picture-perfect Tuesday.

Australias Riviera has splashed down more than 5,000 boats in the 34 years it has been in business. The builder has developed a reputation for building tough, strong boats that seem to love bashing quickly out to the fishing grounds and back, and that toughness has translated well to Riviera models that are going to be used as much or more for cruising than for fishing.

If you were a member of an iconic Pacific Northwest boat-building family and you wanted to build a new powerboat for the slowly recovering marine economy, what features would be included in such a vessel?

Since North Pacific Yachts splashed its first boat 10 years ago, it has delivered more than 100 vessels. All have been well-built, sturdy, tough, single-engine trawlers that provide great value. With the new North Pacific 49 Pilothouse, the builder has upped its game a lot.

Boat tests almost always require the tester to compare some aspects of the vessel being tested against other vessels in the same category. The problem testing the Greenline 33 is that there is, at present, no other regular production hybrid boat on the market except other Greenlines with which one can draw comparisons.

I like boats. My mantra is, theres no such thing as a bad boat, just bad uses for a particular design of boat. But truth be told, Ive tested a few boats whose description may include words such as silly, inexplicable or even a hot chocolate mess, so Im always leery of what Ill find at the end of the dock on test day.

A 90-foot yacht has a presence about it, whether its at the dock or many miles from home, plying the waters of the open ocean. The Offshore 90 Voyager is no exception.

It's a humbling feeling to arrive for a sea trial and know there's nothing you can do to the boat you are testing that will push it any further than it or its brethren has been pushed before. Such was the case as I approached the Elling E4 at the Heritage Yacht Sales docks in Long Beach, Calif.

Testing a Grand Banks is always difficult, primarily because of the high expectations the builder has created during more than a half century in business, during which time it has turned out thousands of boats. Given that kind of experience and history, boaters expect Grand Banks to get it right with every boat it builds and Grand Banks generally does just that.

The 2nd official Children's Development Course took place on 9th/10th June in Croydon, England. 35 participants attended the course conducted by Master Donato Nardizzi, the chairman of the ITF Children's Development Committee. Each participant was given a copy of the Kids Program Study Book and a CD containing all the files an instructor needs including the 288 page Instructor's Guide.
The course lasted 12 hours over the two days consisting of two 3 hour sessions on the first day and a 4 hour session followed by a 2 hour session on the second day. Master Nardizzi started the course with a Powerpoint presentation giving an overview of the Kid's Program. After the presentation, Master Nardizzi demonstrated various warm up games and then invited others to demonstrate some of their own games. The participants discussed the merits of each game and discussed ways of changing the games to improve class management as well as promote the development of skills. The 'Morphing Principle' was introduced as a way of removing the negative association of 'losing' or 'failing' in games by using a basic principle of 'role changing'. At the end of the first session, Master Nardizzi explained some of the higher principles of the Kids Program which are necessary to develop a mind-set that promotes harmonious living. This prepares the students to learn the Taekwon-Do moral culture.
In the afternoon session, Master Nardizzi continued explaining how to teach the main syllabus. During the course, the participants were invited to contribute to discussions about the various methods of teaching the syllabus. The course was conducted with an open minded approach where all suggestions were given consideration. Master Nardizzi explained that the Taekwon-Do Kids Program belongs to all ITF members and collectively we should endeavour to contribute to it to help it evolve into the best possible Taekwon-Do programme for children.
At the end of the first day there was a banquet at a local Italian restaurant which was enjoyed by all those who attended.
The first session of the second day was a long one that lasted 4 hours, so there were plenty of breaks. Also, the participants were encouraged to get involved with the demonstrations of the games and activities instead of sitting for too long. After lunch, Master Nardizzi explained how to teach the supplementary syllabus which includes learning how to deal with danger, bullying, aggression, and the potential danger of strangers. There were a lot of role playing activities which gave rise to many hilarious situations. Everybody, had a good time as the session was conducted with good humour but was structured enough to be a valuable learning experience.
Every participant receives a certificate of participation issued by the ITF which qualifies them to teach the Taekwon-Do Kids Program.
After the course the participants were given a questionnaire to provide feedback about the course.
Here are some of the comments:
I was very impressed with the course and material. Master Nardizzi explained and taught the programme in sequence and relevance to the topics concerned. His easy going manner and superior knowledge of the subjects enabled the class to relax and respond to questions. The class participation and role play was a fantastic way of learning and quickly encouraged even the most senior of students to participate. …….Enjoyed the course - Very impressed.
Derek Cairns 1st Degree (Scotland).
Master Nardizzi delivered an excellent course, which gave me many ideas about activities to teach young kids in my Taekwon-do classes. His experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject were very impressive. This programme should ensure that the kids in our ITF clubs will have the best possible physical and mental basis for their future martial arts development.
Jonathan Emm 4th Degree (England)
An excellent course that gave insight into the minds of small children and how to connect with them. Teaching the Taekwondo basics will now be a lot more fun for both me and the student.
Katharine Shuler 2nd Degree (England)
I came to this course a young man with a lot of bright ideas, with no idea what to expect but when the course was finished I felt like a wise old man full of knowledge. I was most impressed by the instructor Master Donato Nardizzi his instruction was second to none he is a perfect example of a taekwondo master and a human being an inspiration to us all.
Nigel Charles 1st Degree (Scotland)
As a first degree I felt somewhat intimidated and some reservation when I booked myself onto a course being led by a senior master and attended by senior grades many of which were fourth degree and above, however within a short space of time I was made to feel at ease and that my participation and contribution (when invited) was valued. The course delivery was excellent and pitched at an appropriate level; it was accessible and inclusive to all. I would highly recommend that anyone who is teaching young children or considering teaching young children attend the course, the knowledge, experience and information attained from the course is truly invaluable.
Nicola Elsworth 1st Degree (England)
I thoroughly enjoyed the course; the content was engaging and well presented. The exercises and games which have been developed to translate the core values of Taekwon-Do to the future generation are well thought out and most importantly for this age group, great fun! I look forward to passing this knowledge on to the young students who will be having far too much fun to notice they are learning' a way of life'
The 1st official Children's Development Course took place In the Hall of the Manuel Belgrano School in Buenos Aires and was conducted by Master Donato Nardizzi, 8th Degree from England and Instructor Fabian Izquierdo, 5th Degree from Santa Fe, Argentina.
During the weekend of the 8th and 9th October 2011, 120 participants, including Gran Masters, Masters and Instructors from Argentina and also from Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia and Peru received instruction on how to put into practice this fantastic "ITF Taekwon-Do Kids Development Program (TKD Program)" for ages from 3 to 7 years. Not an easy task for those who work with children!
At the Course participants were provided with the "Instructor's Guide" which contains more than enough tools to work professionally with the smaller kids, organizing in advance each class thanks to this innovative and systematized TKD Program.
Both Master Nardizzi and Instructor Fabian Izquierdo expressed in great detail (including slides and interactive games with the audience) all the TKD Program, their vision and the philosophy of it, which prepares the younger kids not only in Taekwon-Do but also in various life skills such as concentration, memory, being independent, leadership, how to behave against different dangers, and much more!.
The TKD Program includes 6 stages ending in the 8th Gup, integrating the children afterwards into the mainstream class with the yellow belt.
During the Course many questions were raised, regarding the frequency and the duration of each class and particularly with regards to how to manage such young children and of course how to maintain discipline in the class, this was answered with clear directions that correspond with the philosophy of the TKD Program.
The "Study Book" for the young students was also presented, where a very professional job can be appreciate, beautifully illustrated with drawings by Instructor Fabian Izquierdo.
Also during the Course the new ITF logo was presented with loud approval applauses from all the present.
The Course has reached an end and we are all looking forward for more, we hope to see you in Argentina again soon!
Sabrina Condrò
Vth Degree Instructor
The third ITF Children's Development Course will be in Spain on 27th-29th July 2012.

People make their way through the snow in the downtown area Friday, Jan. 25, 2013. | Ernie Torres~Sun-Times
Updated: January 25, 2013 11:30AM
After 335 days, Chicago has finally broken its record-setting streak of snowless days, the National Weather Service said.
The Friday morning snowfall reached 1.1 inches at O'Hare International Airport by 9:30 a.m., according to the weather service. It is the first day of the 2012-2013 winter where Chicago got more than one-inch of accumulation -- ending record streaks for the latest first one-inch snowfall and the longest streak without an inch of snow, the weather service said.
The previous record for snow-free days was 280, set in 1994. The city surpassed that record on Dec. 10, the weather service said. The previous record for the latest one-inch snowfall in Chicago was Jan. 17, 1899.
According to the weather service, some flurries were expected to fall late in the afternoon, but no additional accumulation was forecast.
The city's "Snow Command" deployed 199 snowplows to Lake Shore Drive and the city's other main streets Friday morning, according to a statement from the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation. The plows will begin working on residential streets after the main streets have been cleared and covered with salt.
While authorities encouraged drivers to be cautious during their morning rush-hour commute, Illinois State Police said there were numerous cars involved in about 10 crashes Friday morning in the Chicago region.
One of the largest crashes involved nine cars that collided on the Kennedy Expressway near the North Avenue exit, state police said. One person suffered minor injuries.
With the 1.1 inches that fell on Friday morning, the season's total snowfall for Chicago through 9:30 a.m. now stands at 2.8 inches.

Good stuff! I love the sweet taste of mango and the kick of chilli gives this tea an interesting flavour. I would love to see another mango black tea, perhaps with coconut or vanilla and a hint of peach, or maybe some kind of toffee flavour. Any chance, Whittard?
I am a big fan of flavoured black teas an usually get them from a wonderful shop in London, but I saw these new ones in Whittard and thought I would give them a try. I have to say this is the best one so far, it has a nice subtle mango flavour with a lovely warming tingle of chilli.

Hi everyone. I'm actually quite new to Blue Moon, I bought the game yesterday and loved it. I have seen there are a few add-on decks, have you got any hints which are worthwhile and should be bought in the first place? and also - my favourite retailer doesn't have three of these decks (The Flit, The Pillar and Emissaries & Inquisitors: Allies) in stock and I have heard they are out of print. Does anyone know about some possible reprints? other option - is there a place where they could be bought? thanks in advance.

Benoit is a French graphic designer with some really nice work.
Benoit is a French graphic designer with some really nice work.
Will founded It's Nice That in 2007 and is now director of the company. Once one of the main contributors to the site he has stepped back from writing as the business has expanded. He is a regular guest on the Studio Audience podcast.
Adoring pretty much anything Panda Bear-related (his amazing interactive website, his brilliant music, his very lovely hair), we felt it was high time we shed some light on the man behind his wonderful record sleeve designs, Marco Papiro.
When we popped to Somerset House last week to ogle PJ Harvey recording in a box we spotted some powerful exhibition graphics, designed by London-based studio Julia. The designs are shown online on PJ Harvey's website, but really come to life at Somerset House, where they sit illuminated on the wall of the holding pen-like space visitors stand in before being led to the basement area that houses the recording studio box.
I came across Ged Palmer's work for the first time a couple of years ago over a boozy pub lunch with my dad, and since then I've followed his progress in hand lettering and sign-writing with interest. His skill in this traditional medium has gone from strength to strength, with new techniques and processes added to his arsenal on a regular basis, and what started out as a simple flair for type has progressed into a fully-formed talent for fashioning works of graphic brilliance.
If Pentagram's Micheal Bierut reckons a book can "make better designers of all of us," its likely to be a pretty useful tome. The designer was heaping praise on Logo: The Reference Guide to Symbols and Logotypes by Michael Evamy, which is just about to launch its new mini edition with publisher Laurence King.
A couple of weeks back we had Fons Hickmann, founder of the eponymous design studio Fons Hickmann m23 in Berlin, talk us through his favourite publications, so that we could get a bit of an insight into his taste, influences and inspirations. In the process, we found out that the studio has recently begin working on Germany's Greenpeace Media. "For Greenpeace Media we design magazines, posters and even packing tape," the studio's website explains. "Working with political and social topics has always been important and close to the heart of m23."
Scrolling through Frankfurt-based design agency Arndt Benedikt's website, I get the impression that somebody in the studio is sneaking off every half an hour to immortalise some of the fantastic design work they're creating in poster form. Or maybe managing partners Felix Gross and Falko Ohlmer are just really into posters – in which case, hurrah! Alongside remarkably advanced work like this campaign for Greenpeace, and some mature corporate design work they make these: bright, dynamic and joyous posters, for everything from a spell teaching at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz to an open air party in Hamburg. They're informative and really nice to look at, which is all we need from our large-scale printed matter.
Swedish design studio Bedow isn't new to branding musical enterprises. Back in 2013 it produced a clean, minimal identity for Canadian record label More Than Human. That work was nice, but its latest offering for Stockholm's internationally renowned store Record Mania might be even better.
When it comes to Tarot cards we've pretty much seen it all. Since the arrival of the Rider Waite deck in the early 20th Century nobody in the western world has really changed the game and made The Fool, The Ace of Wands or The Hierophant look all that different from Pamela Colman Smith's incredible drawings. But recently designer Isabel Lucena has had a crack at it, and the results are surprisingly refreshing.
For a young boy who grew up in the suburban Midlands, the west coast of the USA is really the America of my imagination, far more so than the refined cities of the Eastern seaboard, the vast expanses of the rural states or any of the other myriad landscapes to be found between sea and shining sea.
It's always refreshing to see a creative being really honest about the challenges of a particular brief before showing us their solution. So it is with Barcelona-based graphic designer and art director Jorge León, who sets up his work for the Amigos skate shop by referring to the "many problems" it had encountered with its brand.
International design agency IS Creative Studio has done some elegant branding work for both rotisserie AND grilled chicken restaurants. And both identities look refreshingly tasteful. The studio's work spans print, product and retail design, and its practice is based on extensive research and a desire to always go beyond the product at hand. Or indeed the chicken. Founded in 2010 by Richard Meza, the agency produces great work that shifts aesthetics seamlessly. From visuals that wouldn't be out of place on a summer's day in Capri in 1965, to fast food stereotypes and what is described as "type [broken up] to simulate chunks of fruit swimming happily in cream," it's a bunch of consistently impressive design work.
It's little surprise that Mike Lemanski's graphic design work has been something of an It's Nice That favourite, and since we last posted about him in 2013 he's not let his style slip. Mike's site boasts some beautiful, mature designs for Feuilleton magazine, which takes articles from various international publications such as The New York Times, translates them into French and publishes issues every quarter.
When Hanover-based designers Bureau Hardy Seiler and web design agency Created by Monkeys decided to pitch to design the identity for the Freies Theater Hannover, they found themselves faced with a dilemma. The theatre hosts every flavour of live performance going, from puppetry and musical shows to experimental dance, and all in one flexible and family-friendly space. How could they create a graphic language to match that?

"We had about 135 cars come to Public Works," he said. "That is almost twice as many as last year."
Although Cleveland started a recycling program earlier this year, Earth Day allows county residents to disposal of hazardous items, such as oil, paint, batteries and more.
"We had two truck loads of tires to be disposed of," said Bell, who explained the trucks were large trailer-type vehicles.
He said other items include computers, chemicals and normal recyclables.
This year Bell added satellite drop-off locations at Cleveland High School, East Side High School and the Medical Mall.
"That went very well. We had to empty the truck at East Side twice," he said.
Bolivar County Earth Day is funded in part by a grand from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, which helps to dispose of the hazardous items.
Bell said each Earth Day those who drop off items at Public Works take a survey and most people suggest Earth Day activities take place more than once a year.
Cleveland is still accepting No 1 and No. 2 plastic, mixed paper, aluminum cans, steel cans, plastic bags and cardboard.
Citizens are encouraged to bring their normal recyclables to the bins on the north side of the old train depot building downtown or the Public Works building on Old Miss. Highway 61 behind Baxter. ?

Ok. This is starting to get interesting.
Kris Ann
I'm jumping in -- hopefully I can catch.
Here's the fourth suggestion...
1. Find two solid papers and a notebook paper. One of the papers needs to have a worn look.
2. Stack and rotate all the papers in any way you wish, but use them full size. Stack them in whatever order you want as long as you can see part of all of them and you use them full size.
3. Find one photo to put on your layout and one frame to go with it. Place your
photo and frame on your layout.
4. Place 2 ricracs, one ribbon, and one ribbon wrap somewhere on your layout.
Ok...I just got a brand new laptop (my old one died...luckily i bought a warranty)...gotta find that "special" GDS folder with the kits in it...I think the only one that might look worn is your retro kit? now to find out where I filed that folder when my laptop went in the shop

Sep 18, 2012MUCH better than Borderlands 1 (which is a great game)... I've only played for about 3 1/2 hours but I can tell you the game runs smooth with great graphics, great gameplay, and really good voice acting.

Sep 21, 2012Amazing game, I enjoyed Borderlands 1 but number 2 is a giant leap ahead. Great story and awesome game play. I don't understand the negative comments. Nothing wrong with this game!
Sep 24, 2012
Sep 18, 2012Not many games learn from their mistakes, this one does, and does an excellent job at it, an improvement in almost every way, definitely worth getting if you didn't like the first one, and an even better choice if you liked the first one!
Sep 23, 2012Spectacular game. Do as many of the side missions as possible. They are hilarious and sometimes both challenging and hilarious. It's spectacular. Everything from Borderlands 1 that made it amazing are here and improved 10 fold. I've never had so much fun finding new guns in a video game ever. It's like finding new blades in any given RPG, only these go boom.
Sep 19, 2012
Sep 19, 2012Definitely the best gaming experience to come out so far in 2012. Many improvements over the previous game, and runs beautifully. I highly recommend this game.
Sep 21, 2012Finally a game this year actually worth spending the time to play. This year has been struggling so far. If you remotely liked the first BL, you will LOVE this one. SO FUNNY and addicting.... even my wife is laughing because of the dialogue and she hates watching me play.

Sep 19, 2012Borderlands 2 Is totally a game of the year contender.This game has so many improvemennts over the first Bordlands,with it's Awesome graphics,story and lets not forget the Funny adult Humor that the series is known for.also the amount of weapons in Borderlands 2 is mind blowing.Borderlands 2 is awesome just like the first Borderlands was as well.A must buy.this Game get's a perfect 10 from me.

Dec 20, 2012B2 feels more like a B1 expansion pack with re-skins, a few tweaks and some really annoying gameplay bugs. Games too long for a just a rental, and just not worth the full price.

Sep 20, 2012The Best advice I can give you people interested in the game is buy it NOW! Why should you buy it now? well the critics love it that should be a good enough indicator.
Sep 18, 2012Outstanding game, it really improves upon the first game. In all areas, large or small, this is a truly superior game. Not to badmouth the very good original game.
Oct 4, 2012
Sep 19, 2012I just need to score this game to level out the number of poor reviews. This game is incredible and anyone who scores this less then an 8 doesn't know fun when it shoots a hole through there face. An absolute must by!
By the way, this game contains one of the greatest intro videos of all time. -
Sep 22, 2012This is a great game and a huge improvement over the original borderlands. Don't listen to the 3-5 hour in reviews, the quests and enemies get better as you go
Sep 18, 2012Pretty great with bros. The setting and characters are much better this round. The gameplay is LOADS better, with all that indepth customization and stuff.
Sep 18, 2012borderlands 2 is a amazing game that truly keeps me entertained. I cant stop playing this game because I love it so much if I had to be reborn I would want to be bord in this sick game.
Sep 18, 2012
Sep 19, 2012There isn't much to say about this game. It is truly fantastic and improves on the original in every way. Any fan of the original would be doing themselves a great disservice if they chose not to play this game. Actually, the same goes for any gamer. Play this game.
Sep 26, 2012Exactly what a sequel should be, It takes everything good about the first game improves it, and adds its own flavor and humor into what was already an amazingly perfect game. Endless hours of exploring side quests and a thrilling story (in addition to play through 2) Borderlands 2 is not one to disappoint.
Aug 18, 2013I was skeptical at first,but when I got into it i was so Astonished.This game is one of the best Comic type games,i love the 4 Co play that's a rare feature in split screen not many games do that they require connection or going on line well i don't do that,i'm more of a single player.This is a good game to [buy]
Oct 2, 2012One word review: BOREDLANDS...
Oh my god, it IS boring...
An awful sad, boring to the teeth game. Even worst than the ridiculous first installment, this train wreck of a game is dull, predictable and generic to the extreme. Same old same old mediocre FPS game disguised as a very bad written RPG. Avoid at all costs. -
Oct 8, 2012
Sep 19, 2012Incredible game. Everything is upgraded and smoother. My only nitpick so far is ladders, frustrating. Kudos to all involved for a great game. Keep iot up.
Sep 18, 2012this game is one for the fans it keeps the feel of the original and adds a whole lot. there is more humor blood gore and a whole lot of loot to be had in the believable world of pandora. other reviewers have complained about texture pop in but i installed the game and have noticed pop in only once in about 5 hours of game time. this game is truly a master piece.
Sep 19, 2012Great game! Everything from the first game has been significantly improved, and new exciting features have been added as well! The campaign is simply epic and even better with a friend.
Sep 19, 2012
Sep 19, 2012
Sep 19, 2012So far (7 hours in) I can say this is everything I loved from the first installment with a few new tricks all wrapped up in a shiny new package. There are some issues with texture pop in on occasion and getting stuck in the environment. But these are far outweighed by the greatness of the overall experience of this amazing game!
Sep 20, 2012MUCH better than Borderlands 1 (which is a great game)... I've only played for about 3 1/2 hours but I can tell you the game runs smooth with great graphics, great gameplay, and really good voice acting.
Sep 25, 2012
Oct 9, 2012
Nov 4, 2012The game itself is so overrated, gameplay is repetitive, the feel of it is a huge letdown.
... Meh. Don't get it, it gets boring after an hour of playing. You really don't want to play it more than an hour or so. -
Nov 6, 2012Twice I tried to force myself to finish this game, and twice I have decided it is not worth my time. Sub-mediocre writing and story pasted on a 20 hour gear check with invisible walls and **** physics. Don't waste your time on this crap, its all hype.
Nov 30, 2012
Sep 24, 2012Game is great, it has really sucked me in. Wasn't so thrilled with the tutorial part at the beginning as it really has a super slow pace. I hope it is skippable on my second play through as I would hate to have to repeat it. Overall I'm really pleased with the game.

Oct 2, 2012Very great game. They really seemed to fix a lot of the nonsense from Borderlands 1. You NEED to play this with friends to really enjoy it to the full extent, but a damn good game nonetheless.
Oct 14, 2012
Sep 25, 2012Once in awhile you pick a game up off the shelf and get it home and actually can't stop playing the damn thing :).
It makes us all feel good that we have spent our money on a product worth having as well as a company worth supporting. Every other company needs to stop and take a look at how these guys are doing it and reevaluate their development.
Love it! -
Sep 21, 2012Co-op experiences do not get any better than this folks, Borderlands 2 is a fun and cool game, it's as simple as that, it doesn't have a deep story or deep characters but it sets out to make you laugh and enjoy yourself and it accomplishes just that, hats off to Gearbox.

Sep 21, 2012neilsmif1980 is clearly a troll, since borderlands has an autosave that would prevent "starting from the beginning like he claims this bug did" so grats, troll was trolling. Anyway, the game is awesome, improved gameplay and co-op from the first (split-screen co-op woot woot). If you liked the original there's no way you don't like this
Sep 26, 2012
Sep 27, 2012Great game even better than the 1st love the charectars, story and humor. The side quests kept me interested for hours. old favourites make a fantastic return and gameplay has been vastly improved as well. I tilt my hat (if i had one)

Oct 9, 2012Worth the wait - better than the first one, and I can't put this game down. If you like loot-based games (who doesn't) and Diablo 3 was a disappointment to you (it probably was) this is your huckleberry
Apr 13, 2013Played the first Borderlands and found it somewhat enjoyable. Playing BL2 was more of a grind towards the end. The level tree was somewhat tedious, the weapons never really kept up with the levels that you made, and the skill points were pretty much useless. Just a drone of a game, no replay value whatsoever.

Oct 6, 2012This game takes you back to Pandora in a great way. The gameplay, guns, story, characters, and guns have been drastically improved compared to the original Borderlands and it makes it a fantastic game to play. At every moment of the game something (or someone) is trying to kill you and you get plenty of opportunities to try and kill them right back. This game is utterly lovely to play.
Oct 6, 2012Borderlands 2 is an awesome game. I didn't play the first game and still understood the whole story of this game. I completed the main story quest by myself and it was good but i can't help thinking it would be better playing through it co-op, so i would recommend playing through with friends. Overall this game is excellent.

Oct 27, 2012A great game with a unique art style and tongue in cheek humour. The technical side is great with good textures but let down by texture pop-in.The quests are more varied than its predecessor, but let down by some repetitive fetch quests. Overall 9.3/10-Outstanding
Oct 30, 2012
Nov 10, 2012It may be a lot more of the same, but it's prettier, smoother, longer, and filled with more stuff.
Nov 5, 2012In the end, I have to say that Borderlands 2 serves as a wonderful example of how to make a sequel work.
Oct 31, 2012In conclusion, Borderlands 2 is a significant improvement on the original; it sharpens up the narrative, the core game progression, the visual theme and many other fundamental aspects that needed adjustment.

For those of us who live in Chicago, spring seems to take a long time to arrive. And once it gets here, we can't get enough – eating and drinking on restaurant patios, taking strolls in the warm sunshine. But for too many people, spring also brings with it troubling allergies. For them, constant sneezing, dry or watery eyes, and sinus irritations come as part of the package.
Fortunately, though, many people find relief without constantly popping either prescription or over-the-counter allergy pills. As I often write on this blog, I am a big believer in using alternative treatment methods that complement – or in some cases, can remove the need – for synthetic drugs that often come with side effects.
That's why the Tiffani Kim Institute Medical Wellness Spa has always promoted an integrated approach to health and wellness. When it comes to treating the symptoms of spring allergies, you might consider trying the ancient arts of acupuncture and ear candling.
I talked to Jason Bussell, one of the wonderful licensed acupuncturists that works with us at TKI, about using acupuncture treatments to address allergies. (He also specializes in pediatric, orthopedic and oncology acupuncture, which work to complement the Western medical treatment a client may be receiving.) And he says one of the best reasons to try acupuncture to relieve allergy symptoms is that it comes without side effects that can accompany drugs.
Acupuncturists are "concerned about how energy flows around the body," says Jason. "Typically, when you have an allergy, there's too much going on in one area. We want to draw out the heat and excess and bring (the body) back into a state of harmony."
Acupuncture increases the body's production of serum ACTH, which is the main modulator of cortisol. And cortisol is an important hormone that among other things is involved in controlling the body's response to inflammation. That's why Jason says acupuncture can be especially effective at dealing with allergy-generated sinus pressure and headaches, and dry, itchy or watery eyes.
Obviously, there's no miracle cure, but Jason reports that 50 percent of his clients feel better after their first acupuncture treatment. "I've gotten a lot of people off their (allergy) drugs – and I've seen it during or after one season." In other cases, this treatment "is like knocking down a fire. If you only hit it once and step back, it'll flare back up. But it's dependent on the individual and how bad the allergy season is." And as with most things, it's best to treat allergies proactively and before seasonal conditions get the best of you.
Jason, who wrote The Asian Diet: Simple Secrets for Eating Right, Losing Weight, and Being Well and other acupuncturists always stress the role DIET plays in helping to control allergies. Dairy products often turn to phlegm in adults and aggravate congestion; too much acidity in the system can cause inflammation. Says Jason: "We bring the body into balance" through acupuncture, "but if the patient is living in a way that's out of balance, their symptoms will likely return. We see symptoms as the body's way of telling us to adjust something."
Another treatment that some allergy sufferers try is the art of ear candling, which is believed to have begun in ancient cultures 2,500 or 3,000 years ago! Using 100 percent pure beeswax candles at TKI, we practice Asian Ear Candling that can help eliminate a variety of ailments, including vertigo, migraines, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, tinnitus (noise or ringing in the ear) – and treats the symptoms of seasonal allergies. During the 30-minute procedure, a hollow candle is gently placed into the ear canal, while the other end is lit by a flame and constantly monitored by the therapist. The process creates a low-level vacuum that draws excess ear wax and other debris out of the ear and into the candle. It's really soothing, and massage can be added for extra relaxation.
Our lead massage therapist at TKI, Madi Camilo, is a huge advocate of trying this treatment—and reports that her own adult sister finally weaned herself off over-the-counter allergy medicine after a couple months of ear candling. "It prevents the allergens from accumulating," she says. "You're starting off with a clean slate." Ear candling can be done every six months, or when warranted. (But ear candling should not be used if you have or think you have an actual ear infection—you should visit your doctor for treatment first.)
Again, I know there's no 'miracle cure' for allergies. But you just might find that going the natural route to treat their symptoms makes your spring much more enjoyable and memorable!
