I was thinking of making the jump to wine as a long term project to fill some more of my carboys while I am deployed next year. I wanted to know of any good books on winemaking I can use to read up and get started. Something similar to the joy of home brewing or how to brew. I have been making beers for a while and the wife wants to make wine. Any suggestions??

the book I've got is called First Steps in Winemaking by C J J Berry. It's quite old now but nothing really changes anyway. You can get it on amazon

SCENARIO: When a broken section of a Port-A-Potty washes onto the beach, four-year castaway Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) fashions it into a sail for a makeshift raft and uses it to escape the island. Given the circumstances, would a boat like Chuck's have any chance of making it to shore?
THE EXPERT SAYS: It may not be the most glamorous craft, but "survival is all about improvising," says Nester, and the Port-A-Potty seems to be Chuck's best option. It's common to see people trapped in long-term survival scenarios developing a "MacGyver-esque approach." This particular craft may not have held up in real life, but the makeshift sail "shows the brilliance of his thinking and his ability to improvise," and a person with that type of mentality is the most likely to survive.

Christensen admits beating, strangling stepfather in domestic violence disputeFERRY COUNTY, WASH.– Morgan Eugene Christensen pled guilty to second degree murder with a deadly weapon and first degree burglary Friday in Ferry County Superior Court. Christensen broke into the home of his mother and stepfather in October 2012 then beat his stepfather with a tire iron and strangled him to death. Both charges are Class A felonies with maximum penalties of life in prison and $50,000. Witnesses reported that the night before the murder, Christensen stood outside of his parents' home with a hammer and threatened to kill his stepfather, Brian Brill. Christensen was angry that his parents had allowed his ex-girlfriend to live with them in order to protect her from physical abuse by Christensen. Christensen tried to break into the home that night, breaking a door handle in the process, but was unsuccessful in gaining entry. Christensen returned the next morning. Christensen's ex-girlfriend reported that Christensen burst into the home yelling that he was going to kill her. She fled and hid in a closet and then under a bed. Christensen encountered his stepfather Brian Brill inside the residence and knocked him down and beat him. Christensen retrieved a tire iron and used it to repeatedly strike Brill while his ex-girlfriend hid nearby and listened to Christensen kill his stepfather. An autopsy revealed that Christensen also strangled Brill to death. Washington State Assistant Attorneys General Tienney Milnor and John Hillman prosecuted the case at the request of Ferry County. Both are experienced prosecutors who have tried numerous cases, including homicide and crimes of domestic violence. "The Attorney General's Office is proud to provide specialized prosecution assistance for county prosecutors across Washington state who may have conflicts or other circumstances preventing them from prosecuting cases themselves," Ferguson said. "For the sake of the Brill family—and all involved—I am pleased our office brought this case to justice. My thoughts are with those who knew and loved Mr. Brill during this difficult time." Sentencing is scheduled for December 13, 2013, in Ferry County Superior Court in Republic, before Judge Pat Monasmith. By law, county prosecutors in Washington have original jurisdiction for criminal cases in their counties. County prosecutors or the Governor may request assistance from the Attorney General's Office Criminal Justice Division. The AGO Criminal Justice Division successfully prosecuted and obtained 71 convictions in complex cases since July 2011. The unit is comprised of six prosecuting attorneys. – 30 –The Office of the Attorney General is the chief legal office for the state of Washington with attorneys and staff in 27 divisions across the state providing legal services to roughly 200 state agencies, boards and commissions. Attorney General Bob Ferguson is working hard to protect consumers and seniors against fraud, keep our communities safe, protect our environment and stand up for our veterans.

Simply put full strength dishwashing liquid in pot while hot, even if food is still in it, and make sure there is enough to cover the bottom of the pot (roll it around to ensure that the bottom is completely covered, although you may not be able to see it if food is still in). DO NOT ADD WATER and let sit for a few minutes, burnt stains will wash right out. Key: must use a good quality dish liquid. |

Hmmm...I can't help but think that that 'may' work in 'some' cases, that it just won't work in every case. I once severely burned popcorn in a stainless steel pan. Soap, regardless of what kind it was, or how it was used, didn't begin to help it. I worked on it off and on for several days using something similar to these..... Stainless Steel Scrubber Pads. Lots of other good, and some not so good, tips at the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Burned Pot threads found via a seach of this forum
I, too, had burnt popcorn on a stainless steel pot, and no amount of soaking worked. I finally used straight ammonia, and let it soak for days, then scraped the rest of the residue off with a knife. A real PITA. |

James Holmes's tactical gear provider accused of having "blood on its hands"
After some of the equipment belonging to Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes was traced back to a Chesterfield, Missouri company called Tactical Gear, reps spoke out about the ties online. Since then, as noted by our eagle-eyed sister blog at St. Louis' Riverfront Times, Tactical Gear employees have been threatened even as COO Andrew Hoefener redirected some of the criticism facing the company toward outlets that provide guns and ammunition, not just armor and accessories.James Holmes.
"I think if any additional scrutiny needs to be paid, it's probably to ammunition sourcing online and firearms, and how those are purchased," Hoefener said in an interview with St. Louis' KMOV.
You can watch that interview here:
According to CEO Chad Weinman, who released a statement on the company's website yesterday, James Holmes placed an order through TacticalGear.com on July 2. He requested an "urban assault vest, two magazine pouches and a tactical knife," which cost him a total of $306.79, and he paid an extra $15.36 for UPS 2nd Day Air shipping to receive the gear faster. He signed for the entire order on July 5 at 1:21 Denver time.
On the company's Facebook page, officials posted a response about Holmes's choice of vendors, which has already garnered a generous amount of criticism in the comments section since it went live on Saturday. "Everyone at TacticalGear.com is shocked and appalled that the alleged shooter purchased tactical gear from us for use in this horrific attack. We process thousands of orders a day which include this type of equipment and there was nothing unusual about this particular order," reads the statement, in which the word 'tragedy' is misspelled. "We primarily serve members of the armed services and law enforcement professionals. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families of this terrible trajedy."
As critics point fingers at Tactical Gear and the company points fingers at weapons manufacturers, Weinman countered the claims against his company in his statement, which says employees have been victimized by the attention.
"We have since been inundated with countless phone calls, e-mails and interview requests," he wrote. "Much of this communication has been quite hostile and threatening in nature. We have been falsely accused of selling Mr. Holmes firearms and ammunition over the Internet illegally without conducting the mandated background checks. Some members of our customer relations team have been brought to tears by people insisting that we have 'blood on our hands.'"
In response to outcry over Hoefener's comments on gun vendors, Weinman emphasized the company's support of the right to bear arms.
"We want to set the record straight and (publicly) state that we fully support the 2nd amendment," he maintained. "The spirit of what we were trying to communicate was that tactical clothing and equipment should not be put in the same category as firearms and ammunition. Unfortunately, in some instances our choice of words were poor and misguided.... We wholeheartedly support the freedom Americans enjoy to legally purchase guns and ammunition. I personally believe that if some members of the audience had concealed carry weapons at hand that night perhaps less blood would have been shed. No amount of gun control is going to prevent a sociopath hell-bent on terrorism from hurting a large group of people."

This leisure keynote by Richard Dawkins offers a most impressive defense for the use of social activity that would otherwise be deemed useless.
Dawkins agrees that things like poetry and belly dancing are difficult to make a case for as useful contributors for human survival. But he feels that the brain that is capable of participating in such will not only be able to perform other tasks, but will also attract the opposite sex.
His leisure keynote brings up a sexual choice theory in which is exemplified by the mind being the equivalent to a peacock's tail. Potential mates think "clever is sexy" and those with big brains can "remember epic poetry" to impress them.

Send a donation and give him his face back
Founded by surgeons, Les Enfants du Noma charity helps African children suffering from Noma, a disfiguring bacterial infection. The campaign makes a direct link between donations that people send and the surgical materiel required for operations. We see a surgical team desperately waiting to begin an operation, they cannot start before the postman arrives with donations and thus the necessary materiel.
Today more than ever people need to know what their donations are being used for. The agency adopted an original approach by focusing on the donations rather than the condition itself.
The association urgently needs financing. But times are tough so they needed a campaign to make people aware of the Noma disease and encourage them to donate money.

In my book, I devoted one chapter to the history and subsequent decline of professionalized fact checking, and another to the rise of the people I deemed the "new checkers." The bottom line, I wrote, is that "In this, the age of the fact-checking readers and well-funded media monitors, press outlets that do not dedicate themselves to a high level of accuracy can expect to be called to account."
The ability to identify errors, engage people in the reporting process, and enable them to contribute in meaningful ways is the true value of the checking obsession. Everybody wants to play, and we should find better ways of bringing them on the field.
Correction of the Week
"Writing from memory in a piece defending his work against critics – Why my book is not sexist, 21 September, page 21, G2 – Stephen Bayley said that he had been accused by the presenter of BBC Woman's Hour of producing a "coffee-table compendium of filth for perverts". Jenni Murray has objected that she would never use the word compendium (the same goes for filth). The correct wording of the question she posed in the 9 September programme was: 'Has he reclaimed images of the female body or produced a coffee-table playground for perverts?'" – The Guardian

Jada Pinkett-Smith and daughter Willow Smith at NY Fashion Week
If Jada Pinkett-Smith is upset about her husband "vacationing" with his rumored lover, actor Duane Martin, you couldn't tell by the look on her face. But that could be because her milk isn't clean either. If you recall I told you that Jada once sent a jet for a female friend of mine to join her in Aspen, CO. But my friend politely declined her invitation. Apparently Jada has a type. My friend (who is as straight as an arrow) and Jada look like they could be siblings. The 41-year-old actress and part-time rock singer attended the Michael Kors fashion show with her daughter Willow Smith, 12, today. The Kors show is part of Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

So, today's inspiration was from Lady Gaga. And it's the makeup that she wore to the VMA's. And this is my recreation. So, I hope you guys like it and enjoy. First, you wanna prime your eye. I used a really light beige creamy primer. Next, I'm taking a white eyeliner and I just lined the inner rim, and then I'm gonna drag it out to where I want the white to be, just like on this side. Okay. Make sure they match. And also, do that on the outer corner. And make the lines going straight out. And now, I'm gonna start creating the shape that I want for the black eye shadow in the eyeliner brush. And any kind of mixing medium or water will work for this part. Just dip your brush into it. And then, I'm taking a glittery black eye shadow. And I'm gonna start creating that shape. And you want the line to be above your natural crease. Just wanna make a rounded shape just like that. When you get to the outer corner, you wanna slowly start fading the black out. So once you finished the shape that you like, you wanna fill it in with the flat brush, and still use either water or mixing medium. Just taking that sparkly black, and I'm gonna put that all over my eyelid. So, once you filled it in, do your highlight. And so, I'm gonna take another flat brush and a loose eye shadow which is very pigmented, very frosty. But don't blend too much because the whole point is to have a harsh line. Now, what you wanna do is do that lower lash line. So, it's really skinny in the inner corner, you wanna lightly line underneath the white. It gets thicker underneath the lashes. And then the last thing you wanna do is apply your lashes and you're completely done. It didn't look like she was wearing any blush on her cheeks, so I just did a really, really light pink blush. And for my lips, I did a really frosty pink. So, this is the final look and I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Darrell W. Marshall of Kilmichael was sentenced to 10 days in jail for misdemeanor escape when he walked away from corrections officers at Tyler Holmes Memorial Hospital in Winona.
Carroll County Sheriff Jerry Carver said Marshall was being held at the Carroll-Montgomery Regional Correctional Facility on contempt of court charges from the City of Winona. Marshall faced first offense shoplifting charges in Winona as well, according to court documents.
Carver said to escape, Marshall diverted the attention of the corrections officer and got away.
Winona Chief of Police Johnny Hargrove said Marshall turned himself in to Winona police July 29.
In Winona City Court on Tuesday, Marshall pleaded guilty to misdemeanor escape before Judge Donald Bond in Winona City Court and was sentenced to jail.
Marshall also pleaded guilty to first offense shoplifting for stealing a can of beer valued at $1.06 from a Winona convenience store. He was fined $427.25.

The meeting was organized jointly with the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA), in cooperation with the African Union Commission, and was made possible with the financial support of the Government of Australia.
The regional consultation was an opportunity for experts from Member States who are likely to represent their governments at the UN Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in July to further discuss the various issues that will arise at the Conference including the treaty's scope, criteria and implementation. Experts also discussed the possibility of an African common position on the Treaty and coordination among African States for the negotiations in July.
United Nations Member States have been discussing the adoption of a legally binding Arms Trade Treaty since 2006, a preparatory process that will culminate in a four-week United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty, to be held in New York from 2 to 27 July. The African Regional Consultation on the ATT stems from UNODA's mandate to provide all necessary assistance to the Conference on the ATT, and from the awareness of the appalling human costs from the unregulated arms trade.
"Without robust common standards to guide national decisions on arms transfers, it is easier for arms to be used in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law and to be diverted to illicit markets," said the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Ms. Angela Kane, during her opening remarks. Ms. Kane also encouraged Member States to voice their support for a strong and effective ATT, and expressed the availability of the Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa to provide support to African States
The consultations were attended by governmental experts from 49 African countries, officials from the United Nations, the African Union and African regional economic communities. Leading regional and international think-tanks and non-governmental organizations also took part in the meeting as observers.

I have a camellia plant which is developing some bad indications. I planted this camellia 8 years ago and changed to a drip irrigation system about 2 months ago. I have 2 drippers under the plant each located on the surface about 8 inches from the center of the plant.
The total flow out of 2 drippers is 5 gallons in 30 minutes. Irrigation is currently set at 30 minutes every 10 days. Below is a site with a photo of the plant. I would appreciate any opinions about the condition of the plant such as too much or too little water or fertilizer or something else. I want these plants to be healthy. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn31/Polyanna_01/FRANKSGARDEN5_20080507_001.jpg |
Follow-Up Postings:
Camellia roots are shallow so I think you are watering too long if it comes out to 5gallons per dripper. How big are these shrubs? I have mine set to water 1g in one hour and they water twice a week, three times when the temps are in the 100s. 5 gallons via two drippers means you are watering the shrub 10gallons! I would water less and more often. To tell if there are areas that are dry, just insert a finger to a depth of 4" (not counting the mulch) in several places around the main trunk and see if it feels dry most or wet. Sasanquas get rid of old leaves this time of the year so it is hard to tell if the yellow leaves are caused by that or not. |
Another suggestion in order to clarify. For about a week or more, check the soil moisture daily by inserting a finger to a depth of 4" somewhere inside the drip line of the bush; do not count the mulch when measuring the depth. If the soil feels almost dry or dry then water 2-3g and write down on a calendar when you watered. Start from the root ball outwards past the drip line. Do this for a while until you notice a watering pattern developing in the calendar; in other words, observe if you have to water every 2, 3, 4 or 5 days. Then set your sprinkler or drip to water early in the mornings about 2-3g of water on that frequency. If the temperatures change 10-15 degrees (up or down) and stay there, check using the finger method again and adjust as necessary. I now have to water about twice a week due to the high temperatures in the summer and may have to switch to three times when I get to the 100s as these temperatures are accompanied by drying winds which dry out the shallow camellia roots first. But by September I am back to watering as I usually do in the Spring. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ginger, a Abilene Australian Shepherd dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in Abilene, or seeking a Australian Shepherd dog from a breeder in Abilene.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Abilene already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Abilene breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Abilene paves the way for another one to be saved.


text: I think that the biggest problem guys have in starting a conversation is that they build it up into this life changing event when really it is as simple as the word hello. Meeting a girl is not a make it or break it deal in your life. There is not just one special person out there in the world for you. Even most people who believe in soul mates agree that there are several people in the world who could qualify as your soulmates. I think people build it up so much that they act like the girl they are going to go talk to is there one chance in the world, in their entire life, that they have for happiness and love. So not true. There are a lot of fish in the sea. You need to truly believe this realize this if you are going to be successful with women. There are many, dozens, of women out there that you will cross paths with who could make you happy. Once you completely understand this, you are on your way to meeting one of them. So take all that pressure off of yourself to meet your dream woman and just practice starting a conversation with everyone you know. Im talking the person who delivers our office mail, the barista at the coffee shop, the clerk at the market everyone. If you practice initiating a conversation with everyone you come into contact with (provided its an appropriate situation) you will soon overcome any of your hesitation about approaching a girl you are interested in. It will become natural to start a conversation with a beautiful, enticing woman if you do it all the time with everyone you come into contact with. Trust me, it is much easier than you might think. It is all about learning How To Approach A Girl. If there is a girl you run into regularly you might think of an interesting topic of conversation to start with, but you dont have to do that. It works just as well to approach a woman and say Hello, how are you today? Then you can gauge by her response, whether additional conversation is warranted. Which leads me to another tidbit of advice, if you pick up a book on body language and memorize it, you should be able to instantly tell if the woman you approach wants to have a conversation. The key is that when she is giving body signals that she doesnt want to talk, you need to be savvy enough to figure out why. It could be that she is not interested in you, but it could also easily be because she is 10 minutes late for work and stopped for a coffee but now is really stressing out about getting to work on time. Read her signals and respond accordingly, without necessarily taking any of it personally. If it is someone you do see often, try again another time and see what her response is. Remember that often it has nothing to do with you. It could be that she is stressed out or late or both. And remember that sometimes the easiest way to begin a conversation is the simplest: by just saying hello.

Color Club, Mrs. Robinson
Day-glo purple is a close second to yellow in difficulty. So many have tried, so many have failed. So, for this shade, I stick with the brand that consistently does neon right, Color Club. This is one of a few purple neon hues they have, but in this case, the name is as fierce as the shade.

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.

Anyang | ||||||||
| ||||||||
Statistics | ||||||||
Anyang is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It is located approximately 20 km south of Seoul and is connected to Seoul Subway Line 1 and Line 4. Other nearby cities include Ansan, Incheon and Gwangmyeong to the west, Suwon to the south-east, and Gwacheon due north-east. Anyang is generally divided into two sections: the older downtown section centered at Anyang Station in the north of Anyang, a shopping area with outdoor markets, and Pyeongchon, the wealthier, more upscale area further to the south. Strategically located, Anyang is a convenient transportation hub between Seoul and other major cities across the country.
Contents |
As with most towns and cities in South Korea, Anyang has experienced tremendous urban growth during the past few decades. Ten years after the Korean War ended, the area's population was still largely rural and its landscape agricultural. Today, the conglomerated city of Anyang (amalgamated in 1973) is among the most populous in the country. It is also becoming a suburb of choice for some Seoulites because of its very close proximity to Seoul, and for the beautiful mountains and scenery that surround Anyang, shielding it from the larger urban centers nearby. The city also boasts perhaps the most beautiful, ultra-modern city hall in the entire country. The motto of Anyang is "Livable city, Proud citizens".
Anyang is also home to the Buddhist temple of Anyangsa, located on Mt. Samseong. The historical plaque at the site tells that it was built by King Hyogong of Unified Silla (AD 668 – 935 AD). The location was chosen by him for its mystical properties, which inspired the building of the temple upon travelling south to quell the rebellion in southern Silla. The plaque further elaborates that the name for the city of Anyang is believed to have originated from the temple. Anyang itself is a Buddhist term signifying a heavenly land where unimaginable joy and freedom overflow.
Anyang has many institutions of higher learning which include Anyang Technical College, Anyang University, Daehan Graduate School of Theology, Daelim College, and Sungkyul University.
Anyang is home to the country's only Singing Road, which is made from grooves cut into the ground, which when driven over causes a tactile vibration and audible rumbling transmitted through the wheels into the car body. Drivers can hear the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and the road is intended to help motorists stay alert and awake – 68% of traffic accidents in South Korea are due to inattentive, sleeping or speeding drivers.[1]

Our first day at the Post Ranch Inn, in Big Sur, ended with a sunset so beautiful it stopped conversation. I had picked up my fiancée earlier that afternoon, and after a short drive along the coast we settled into our room, sliding open the enormous glass doors and stepping out onto the balcony, with a full view of the Pacific stretching out in front of us and the waves crashing a thousand feet below. The smell of pine mingled with the scents of night-blooming jasmine and seawater, as the sky turned from clear blue to deep purple to blushing peach, the sun dissolving into the ocean. There was nothing to say. I didn't take a snapshot—the last thing the world needs is another photograph of a California sunset—and instead watched Christine's cheeks catch the changing light and took selfish comfort in knowing I would get to do it all over again tomorrow.
I don't find California strange or exotic. I grew up in Los Angeles and went to college at the University of California, Berkeley, and between skateboarding Venice Beach in the third grade (I wasn't anything special) and using my campus-job earnings to splurge on dinners at Chez Panisse, all the curiosities of this vast state seem completely normal to me. Even paradise becomes a little mundane when the local DMV is planted with lavender and rosemary, and a creamy Mission Revival building with deep arches becomes a Sunglass Hut.
New York City, on the other hand, is endlessly novel. I moved there 12 years ago, and the city of Elizabeth Hardwick and Woody Allen still feels fresh: seasons, subways, the Strand. But despite my bias and, to be perfectly honest, a daily preference for New York, a Big Sur sunset moves me in a way a Hudson Valley afternoon never will. New York is a thrill, but it isn't sublime, and it was unusually dismal last March when I took an early flight on a gray morning and landed in a California in full bloom. Nature gives California the advantage—even the sun seems to belong more to this state than to any other—but the appeal isn't as simple as the climate or the coastline. I don't want to generalize about a state with 37 million residents, but life here is lived on two parallel scales: nature is venerated, yet so is the individual. The promise of California is that the world is immense, and you have a privileged place in it. Here's the sunset, and here's your balcony.
Now I'm a visitor in my home state, and can experience California through its hotels, which, along with Hollywood, have always been its most convincing ambassadors. This trip I rented what turned out to be a disappointing, if efficient, Honda Civic hybrid, and meandered between San Diego and Napa Valley, rediscovering a place that, despite its constant flirtation with dystopia (sprawl, earthquakes, riots), continues to shape the country's concepts of taste and privilege. There's a tradition here of restless freethinkers: innovators with the autonomy, and the audience, to redefine how life might be lived. To my mind, California's most compelling hotels aren't anything like what you'll find in other ambitious destinations such as Dubai or Las Vegas, where billions of dollars are invested in showy towers; they aren't overly stylized boutique hotels, where design trumps comfort; and they aren't elaborate resorts, where hundreds of acres are covered with sod.
I find California's best hotels to be intimate, casual, and refined. They're not ostentatious, and never obsequious. Instead they attract the kind of guest sophisticated enough to understand how much effort goes into making a place seem effortless. They cater to the most easygoing of Californians: the multimillionaires, people with the bank accounts to travel in any style they wish, which usually means taking the long way in a powerful car, wearing a good pair of jeans, and paying the restaurant corkage fee to drink a wine they bought at auction. They expect everything to be just right, but don't want to be the center of attention.
If there's an art to being anonymous, its architectural expression is the bungalow. This trip turned into a quest to take measure of how California hotels are reinventing the form, the fantasy of a country house with turndown. I chose six exceptional (and expensive) hotels known as much for their reclusiveness as for their service. Not one of them has a grand entrance. Instead, every one is marked by blink-and-you-miss-it signage, but once I turned onto the landscaped drives, it was as if I had been let in on a secret.
All Under Big Sur Skies
California may not have invented the bungalow, but it started to perfect it in 1912, when the Beverly Hills Hotel first opened its doors. Though the grandiose main building, painted the pinkest of pinks, was reminiscent of other aspirational hotels such as the Palace in San Francisco, it was the bungalows in the gardens out back that captured the imagination. Private and lush, they had all the amenities of a grand hotel but the seclusion of a private hideaway. Until the turn of the century, luxury had meant staying in a building that looked like a palace, and promenading through a gilded lobby; here, you were a houseguest, and left alone.

I have read on previous posts that ppl freeze peppers before they dehydrate them.I dehydrate most of mine and had a couple questions..Do they maintain their color,texture and are the seeds still viable?
It sure would be easier on me if I could pop em in the deep freeze till im ready for em.:) ---Kevin |

freezing peppers whole will allow the seeds to be wet. the seeds will therefore die when frozen. the moisture level of seeds must be very low if you dont want them to die. the peppers freeze and when they thaw out the cells rupture and the moisture pours out. I collect the moisture and have not found a good use for it. maybe some one can help me on this. after the water is drained off the remaining stuff must be dried out. for me, the idea of freezing thawing and drying reduces the moisture that needs to be dried out. the pepper material when thawed out is like new and fresh. but the drying process can reduce the quality if too hot. or it can go moldy if it takes too long to dry. One trick is to freeze the longer chile relleno chiles like the anaheim and new mexico type. then thaw out and slice open and stuff and cook. that is suppose to work very well. I did the process some years ago and made a dry powder. did not cook them like fresh. but that is suppose to be a great way to go. there are some places that sell frozen anaheim type chiles for that purpose. |

[Infographic Monday]
I really love the idea of a resume infographic, I'm just not sure HR departments and their documenting scanning/reading devices are ready for them.
If you have a LinkedIn account, you can quickly generate a resume infographic with just a couple clicks via Vizualize.mehttp://vizualize.me/. Check it out. I think this is a pretty cool way of competing for a job, especially if you're pursuing a position in the creative industries. An infographic is an engaging way to tell a story versus a resume, which by it's very nature feels very bla, bla, bla.
I also think infographics provide an alternative to boring academic vitaes and professional biographies. Click here to see Steve Jobs infographic bio.

A Minnesota woman has been sentenced to four years in prison for a hit-and-run crash that killed a 92-year-old motorcyclist last year.
Twenty-six-year-old Autumn Mason was sentenced Friday in Ramsey County Court.
Mason pleaded guilty in February to one count of criminal vehicular homicide.
Mason struck St. Paul resident Roy Kromschroeder with her Dodge Durango on Sept. 13. Kromschroeder died later that day.
A criminal complaint says both Mason and Kromschroeder had stopped at a St. Paul intersection and waited for the other to go first. Both drivers proceeded into intersection and Kromschroeder was struck.
The Star Tribune reports a witness told police that Mason got out of her SUV to check on Kromschroeder before she drove away.

A South Orange man who tried to coerce a teenager into sex by threatening to circulate "semi nude" pictures of her was arrested when he showed up for the tryst and found police waiting for him, a prosecutor said today.
Samuel Vargas, 21, was arrested Thursday night at the 17-year-old's home and charged with attempted sexual assault, criminal coercion and invasion of privacy, said Mark Ali, chief of the child abuse unit in the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.
Ali said Vargas had been cultivating a friendship with the girl over the course of a year and at some point got his hands on semi-nude pictures of her from the Internet. He said Vargas obtained the photos by pretending to be an interested acquaintance.
On Aug. 20, Vargas threatened to show the pictures to the girl's family and members of her church unless she had sex with him, Ali said.
The girl contacted South Orange police. Investigator Quovella Spruill of the prosecutor's office and Sgt. Patrick Zazzaro of the South Orange police advise her to act as if she was acceding to his demand.
Ali said she called Vargas Thursday night and he said he would be over. When he arrived, he found police waiting for him, Ali said.
Superior Court Judge Siobhan Teare ordered Vargas held on $150,000 bail. Attempted sexual assault is a second-degree crime that alone carries a penalty of five to 10 years in prison.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rocky - Courtesy Post!
Facts about Rocky - Courtesy Post
- Breed: Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rocky - Courtesy Post's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Rocky is a 2 year old male Terrier X (Pitt Bull x Boston Terrier??) who was rescued from a high kill animal shelter in Brooklyn, NY. He was admitted to the shelter as a stray dog and aced his behaviour evaluation, but when he contracted kennel cough (an easily curable cold) the shelter scheduled him to be euthanized. Feeling badly for young Rocky we rescued him from the shelter and flew him here to Vancouver, BC.
Rocky is eagerly waiting to find his forever home now that he is on Canadian soil. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and passed his health exam with flying colours. He's just a little guy, weighing in at 38 lbs and is sweet as honey. He walks extremely well on leash, thoroughly enjoys car rides, and lives to snuggle. Rocky's favourite past time is napping with you, nuzzled under your arm.
Rocky is house trained and is learning the routine of living in a house. He's starting to catch on quite well, but seems to still be in the puppy phase of his life. He will need someone who can continue his training to make him the best dog he can be. Rocky has had a very tough start to life and needs a home where he will be loved and cherished for the rest of his days.
If you would like to meet Rocky, please email Claire at, firstname.lastname@example.com.
**This is a courtesy posting so Rocky's adoption will not be not through The Penny Foundation.**

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rocky - Courtesy Post, a Vancouver Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Vancouver, or seeking a Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Vancouver.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vancouver already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Vancouver breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vancouver paves the way for another one to be saved.

Christian Educational Ministries
Christian Educational Ministries was founded in November, 1995 as a service ministry with two major goals. First, in the hearts of all Christian people is the imperative to share the Gospel with the world, to evangelize, to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Second, it is our desire to teach those who are disciples of Jesus all that He commanded His disciples to do (Matthew 28:19-20). Paul expanded on this latter objective in his last letter to Timothy:
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be proficient and equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:17 from KJV and NRSV).
To this end, we teach the Bible with a view to helping people make their own lives work while they are a positive influence and blessing to those around them. Our primary mission is carried out through the Born to Win Radio Program, literature, essays both in print and on the Internet, and published books. We also make available sermon CD's and an Adult Bible Study Course in our CEM Bookstore. Another major effort is the education of youth. Youth Educational Adventures is an arm of CEM created to systematically education children and young people in God's way with a curriculum of lessons spanning 17 years of a child's life, beginning with age three to 20.
CEM is here to serve the public, individual Christians of every stripe, and community based churches in every tradition. We are an independent, nondenominational ministry. Our Confession of Faith is broadly stated and not intended to be exclusionary.
About Doctrinal Statements
This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD (Jeremiah 9:23-24 NIV).
Our objective is not to advance this or that belief system. It is to know and understand God on his terms, instead of our own. What we think or believe may have to change to be conformable to the Word of God, therefore being locked into a belief system seems unwise. The best way to understand what we believe is simply to listen to the program and then evaluate what we say based on Scripture. Peter said it well: "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." You can't grow in knowledge if you already know it all.
For Ronald L Dart's personal confession of faith, see this link.
About Ronald L. Dart
Within four months from the time he made the first Born to Win radio program in January of 1996, Ronald Dart was on 26 stations from Brisbane, Australia to Providence Rhode Island. What surprised us at the time was that virtually all of that time was negotiated and purchased by individuals or small groups who believed Ron's message should be heard in their town. They were so dedicated to the message, that they were willing to pay for radio time out of their own pockets. People around the world have come to appreciate Ron's easy style, his non-combative approach to explaining the Bible, and the personal, almost one-on-one method of explaining what's going on in the world in the light of the Bible. People say they get hooked on Ron's depth of insight into the Bible and appreciate the unique gift for clarity and simplicity that enable him to hold an audience. His listeners don't want to miss a word this broadcaster has to say and they want their community to hear it as well. You can see how far we have come in the Born to Win radio log.

I'm installing a standard handheld shower along side of our new soaking tub, which is in an alcove with about a 1" deck on the front. We have a separate shower, so I don't expect it to be used from a bracket. It would be hand held for use seated in the tub, standing in the tub to rinse, or seated on a seat just outside of the tub.
The hose is a problem - how to be able to reach it from a seated position in the tub, without having it dangle all over. I'm wondering if it can be coiled on some kind of bracket on the tub deck, easily reached from inside. Or a bracket low on the wall. Does anything work well for holding a coiled hose? Ideas? Any conventional or unconventional idea is welcome! Thanks - Doris |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you already bought it? Some handhelds are made to be installed on the top of the tub deck like this one. |
Yes, I did consider the deck-mounted option. It looks really classy and convenient. But I'm told that none of these have the hard massage action I wanted, and that the hoses are too short for the flexibility of use we're looking for. So we have ordered a standard hand-held. Thanks - Doris |
It should be easy enough to buy a deck mounted hand held and switch out the shower head with the massage head you want . You can switch out the hoses too if you find the one it comes with isn't long enough. |
Good idea, but we're too far along, and don't have tub deck space. What I'm really looking for is some gadget that does a good job of holding a coiled shower hose. We'd put it on the side of the very narrow tub deck, mounted on the tile. Has anyone found some kind of hook, or whatever, that holds it well but releases easily for use? A plus if it looks great, too! (Fixtures are chrome, contemporary.) Thanks a bundle - Doris |
Where is the hose inlet? Where it attaches to the water. It's hard (for me) to picture what you mean. And when you say coiled, you just mean the metal part of the hose is a coiled material, not coiled as in wound up in a circle, right? |

Steve was our guide. He was fantastic. He lead about 12 of us. We covered a lot of territory. I highly recommend this tour at the beginning of your trip, rather than at the end.
Bike tours are the absolute BEST way to see a city and I will always seek these out when traveling. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny and we had a great tour - even with the rain and storm that came at end of it!
This was an excellent and energetic bike tour - 12 miles of biking, through Sydney, including some hills. The guide was excellent and helpful. We would definitely work with this group for their other bike tours in the future. We were lucky with the weather -- no rain, a bit warm toward the end of the tour, but generally quite nice. This is a tour that is weather dependent. If it is rainy, or really warm I suspect it would be less enjoyable, but for us it worked out fine.
I waited at Circular Key as advised in email but information was WRONG. I found my way to Harrington Street and missed the first hour of bike tour, I hope this has been corrected.

This is a must as an introduction to Sydney if you are a first time visitor. We rated this very highly because Patrick and Adam were fantastic and the tour was very informative. Patrick was very helpful when we popped in to ask questions and Adam was our tour guide and made the four hours fly past.
Great way to see a lot of the city in a short time frame. Lots of insider information and great pub food for lunch (not included). Enough time for pictures. Bike ride is tough here and there because of steep hills. Worth the effort though.
Thank you Sydney Bike Tours we had a brilliant tour of Sydney and would never have seen all the places we visited undre our own steam. Just the two of us on the day so we had exclusive service by the young gentleman who took us. We are both mid to late sixtys and the pace was "at our pace" so not in the least stressful trying to keep up. We enjoyed our trip so much we recommended to a Swiss couple we met on a camping safari to Uluru that they must seek out this cycle tour when they later visited Sydney.

I was in Sydney for a week of business meetings and had only a Thursday afternoon to explore. I set up my tour through Viator and went to the shop a bit early. Unfortunately, due to a mix-up my tour wasn't on their schedule. But no worries, the extremely diligent and resourceful manager juggled his personal schedule and himself took me on a terrific tour of Sydney. I was able to see everything and then some and he was an absolutely brilliant source of history, lore and where to go/what to do. I heartily recommend this company and look forward to my next trip to Sydney and another bike tour with these folks.
Four of us took the Manly Beach Sunset bike tour. It was absolutely amazing. Mike was very knowledgeable about the area and an awesome guide. The ride up the hill was a bit tough, but well worth the effort. Our total tour had six people. We could not have asked for a better excursion.
Despite having been in Sydney for 7 days, having explored and learnt alot, I was able to still learn more. By doing this tour I covered all means of transport for getting around. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you Kat for your super guiding
He really enjoyed the trip and had well informed guide
A great day out in Sydney. As I was the only one signed up for the cycling tour that day I had an exclusive tour with my very own tour guide, Latch. I had offered to link up with another tour but Matt was insistent that my trip would go ahead as planned. My guide had so much info and it was a great, relaxed day out. Lovely company with a lovely team.
THE best thing I did in Sydney! Believe me, I did a lot! Forget the Bridge Climb. This is the way you will really see Sydney up close and personal with a wonderful recount of history. I lucked out and had Andrew for our small group tour. Funny, charming, easy going - Andrew made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. The lunch provided with this bike tour was delish.
Me and my friend we both loved it. But when you combine professionality with friendliness, great knowledge of the city, it's history and present developments as they do, it cannot possibly be bad, can it? :) So if anyone wants to see Sydney with guidance then should book the tour! Graet job guys!
I was the only one on the tour, and they still took me on the tour.
Great experience, the moderate climb is more of a strenuous climb if you are not a regular rider even if you are in shape or run regularly.

Fujian Tea
Popular Teas from Fujian Tea
See All 6 TeasRecent Tasting Notes
Aroma when Dry: sweet jasmine floral, soapy
After water is first poured: hints of jasmine
At end of steep: hints of grassy jasmine
Tea liquor:
At end of steep: Light yellow
Staple? Type yes, would not buy brand
Preferred time of day: any
At first?: flat jasmine notes, hints of grassiness
As it cools?: taste gets lighter, slightly soapy
Additives used (milk, honey, sugar etc)? No
Lingers? Yes, with faint floral creamy notes
Since I can't really taste anything, I decided to at least make something warm and comforting. So, I put the tea bag into my mug, along with a little sweetener and a cinnamon stick. Strangely, I've never made tea with a cinnamon stick before. I poured boiling water over it all and let it steep. The result is very pleasant. I'm too sick to taste the black tea, but the cinnamon comes through and it's nice. Reminds me of winter. I finally have a use for this bag of cinnamon sticks!!
350th tasting note!!
Yes, congrats on 350 tasting notes! I don't know if you're particularly fond of ginger, but, if you want to taste … I recommend ginger. I actually love this product when I'm sick: http://popus.com/ginger-green-tea-instant-ginger-honey-crystals/ (The ginger honey crystals) … I found it at Whole Foods a couple of years ago, and I like to keep it on hand for when I am feeling sick, I just add it to my basic black tea and then I can taste the warming ginger. It makes me feel much better … it's a temporary feel good feeling, but, when I'm sick I'll take even just a few moments of feeling good.
I was just thinking about that, LiberTEAS! I meant to pick up a bit of ginger root from the grocery store. I would grate it and brew it with the tea. Now I might have to go out again, lol.
CupofTree, it's awesome, and re-usable. I've just left it in the mug today and it's been just as strong with each cup.
Today I ventured back to the First Oriental Market, as I'm low on plain black teas and I wanted to try something new. This was very well in my price range, and my past experiences with black teas from the Fujian Province of China have been good. Also, I admit, I love pioneering teas that are new to Steepster.
The packaging is mostly in Chinese, so a lot of the details are lost on me. But it comes bagged, and it smells like it's going to be a strong, no-nonsense black. I can't detect any distinct notes just from the scent of the bag. The leaves themselves are black and crushed up like most cheap bagged teas.
It brewed up dark in four minutes, reddish amber with a malty, honeylike aroma. The flavor is surprisingly smooth and very malty. Almost creamy in its aftertaste. It's milder than I expected, but enjoyable. Like many Fujians I've tried, it has a hint of cocoa in it as well. I'm happy that I have a whole box to go through, and I look forward to having this in a tall iced glass.
Cold brewed overnight. A little bitter so I added some simple syrup. Not sure I like the jasmine, it's a little strong. Very very flowery. Luckily this was super cheap, less than 3 dollars. Also comes in a nice tin that I'll stick another label on and reuse later.
This one fell pretty short night the night before last. It was very heavy on the jasmine and quite bitter. I brewed all of them at 176 for 1 minute. That was the instructions on the Teavivre package. None of the other packages had clear instructions. So one ring to rule them all. I think in the future I may have to try a lower temperature and see if I can get rid of that bitterness.
We went kicking around a local asian supermarket today in search of a gaiwan (no luck) and any other random gems we could find. So we picked out a couple of things to try.
I have to say, the price of this jasmine green is really the only reason I picked it up. 150g for sub-$3, in a neat little blue tin. The tin probably isn't airtight, and I don't exactly have the faculties (or patience, really) to test that… but the seal is pretty darn impressive.
This tea is exactly what I expect from a Chinese restaurant, which, well, is because this is probably the exact tea I get from a Chinese restaurant. A light floral flavor, the green tea barely coming in at the end of the flavor, a mild but noticeable astringency. Compared to the Jasmine Pearls I have from Mad Hat, the flavor of this tea (particularly the Jasmine flavor) is much more subdued.
They had four different Jasmine teas by Fujian tea, one in a yellow square tin as pictured, one in a red square tin, the blue cylindrical tin that I bought, and then a green cylindrical tin. No differentiation other than a serial number up top that might mean something (mine is 2063). Well, and all of the writing that I don't understand may mean something too, but I just assume it says Jasmine Tea in Chinese :).
I might keep this around. The quality definitely isn't that of the pearls from Mad Hat (and I'm eventually going to want to try the pearls from Teavivre), but man… at this price… SO CHEAP. IT IS SO INSANELY CHEAP. Sorry, had to get that out.
I bought the yellow tin at our Asian market after seeing reviews on here. I agree – insanely cheap and not too shabby.
Congratulations! I saw on Facebook that Teavivre posted that you will be getting five free samples! :) Enjoy!
Oh; this is like the most nostalgic tea ever
lol – I think I grew up drinking this tea, as asian as our home is :)
I can say I don't really enjoy Chinese teas – they tend to be really … smoky (?) for me but this Jasmine tea is the one I compare all the rest to.
Oh, this tea. Like most of the other Steepsterites, I found this at an Asian market — that is, the new Asian market in Moscow, ID, that has good turmeric, frozen lemongrass, some really nice peanut/sesame/adzuki mochi and Rotiland frozen rotis. One look at this place and it was instant love.
The only bad thing about this place is that there's a $5 purchasing minimum. I can't just pop in and get some Fruitery jellies or hot mango chutney — I have to buy multiple small things together. I guess that's the reason I got this (they had mango Fruitery, and it was only $1.59). The tin of this jasmine tea was $1.99, and I've always seen it in the other Asian markets, so I decided to splurge. I was pretty glad that I did.
The smell from the tin is very floral, and the taste of the tea is, too. It's incredibly sweet and aromatic, and really great for blah days. I've had pretty unhappy run-ins with jasmine teas before, so I was a bit wary of the strength of this tea. However, it's not too bitter or too strong (unless you leave the leaves in for 30 minutes while drinking, which I did the first time). In fact, I brewed this tea, left it for approximately ten minutes, then remembered it. I thought it'd be horrible overdone, but it was perfect. It seems that the taste doesn't change much from about 5 minutes to 10 minutes of steeping. Lucky me, since I'm the tea-forgetting queen of the world.
Overall, I've had good experiences with this tea. It may not be too special for someone who loves jasmine and drinks it regularly, but it's good enough for me to keep it as a regular in my tea stash. Oh, and the tin is adorable.
