Quoted from Possum However on delivery, I was so disappointed to see that the window/colour gauge was completely made of plastic & the first time I used it it smelt so badly of plastic fumes I sent it back
Quoted from Lola add a teaspoon of cocoa to your mateI like adding some DGL licorish as well.....yumm
Quoted from Lola even my German hubby is hooked on the mate now......
Quoted from Seraffa I thought all the "good stuff" came out of them in the first 45 seconds.
Quoted Text Turning Over a New LeafYou may already appreciate the satisfying taste and relaxation benefits of tea, but did you know tea can be used to....Sooth Skin — The tannins in tea leaves are said to have soothing properties for the skin. Try applying a cooled, infused pod to sunburns, rashes, mosquito bites, and even shaving nicks to ease discomfort.Treat your Plants — Tea can be used as a fertilizer for both indoor and outdoor plants. Leftover brewed tea can be cooled and used to "water" houseplants on occasion, and infused tea leaves can be distributed in your flower garden for a nutrient boost.Tidy Up — Because tea absorbs moisture and odors, you can place dry tea bags in shoes and other unpleasant smelling places to remove odors. Infused tea pods can be placed in your refrigerator to help keep food odors in check.Clean Your Mirrors — Leftover brewed tea can be cooled and used to get mirrors squeaky clean. Use a soft cloth to buff away the tea after cleaning.
Quoted from Conor First brew is consider more yang; second brew more yin ...How to Steep Chinese Loose Leaf Teas*Gunpowder: Green TeaOnce processed, this popular tea has the shape of pellets. It's typically made from a mix of new leaves and old, and consequently, drinkers should steep the pellets on the lower end of the green tea temperature range. Once exposed to hot water, the pellets unravel to reveal beautiful leaves.170°F for 3 minutes on the first steeping.Add additional 15 seconds for subsequent uses.Dragonwell: Green TeaOne of the most famous of China's green teas, Dragonwell has a forgiving and accessible steeping temperature and time range. The leaves have a distinctly jade color with a delicate fold along the vein.180ºF - 185ºF for 3 minutes on the first steeping.Add additional 15 seconds for subsequent uses.Snowy Mountain Jian: Green TeaThis slightly-sweet tea has a pungent, smooth flavor. Dark green with silvery tips, Snowy Mountain Jian has a selective picking process that makes it comparable to first-flush teas.180ºF for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.Add additional 30 seconds for subsequent uses.Kai Hua Long Ding: Green TeaAnother popular green tea from China, Kai Hua Long Ding has a strong grassy flavor that increases with the steeping time. Those more sensitive to the flavor might want to steep on the lower end of the time range.175ºF for 2-3 minutes.Add additional 15 seconds for subsequent uses.Hyson Lucky Dragon: Green TeaThis green tea is made with twisted leaves that unfurl during steeping. This tea has forgiving steeping conditions and makes for a soft grassy flavor, very amenable to novice green tea drinkers.175°F - 180°F for 3 minutes.Add additional 30 seconds for subsequent uses.Xin Yang Mao Jian: Green TeaOne of the most famous Chinese teas, Xin Yang Mao Jian has a light, sweet taste and a delicate aroma. The brewing temperature and steeping time is on the lower end of the spectrum for green teas due to the delicacy of the leaves.158°F - 176º for 1 minute.The second use also requires a 1 minute steeping time. Add 15 seconds for the third and all additional uses.Hou Kui: Green TeaThese tea leaves are emerald with beautiful veining. Growers process the tea by pressing it in cloth, which also gives the leaves a criss-cross pattern. This popular tea gained renown for its light floral flavor and sweet aftertaste. As a result of its delicacy, Hou Kui has a finnicky steeping time and temperature.158ºF to 176ºF for 1 minute.The second use also requires a 1 minute steeping time. Add 15 seconds for the third and all additional uses.*Courtesy of Teaosophy
Quoted from Seraffa Ergo - you see every single fricking tea on the market now saying in bold letters "HOW TO BREW TEA" on its boxes. For a couple thousand years people didn't go round with a thermometer in one hand worrying about this or that. (And the tea still came out fine.)
Quoted from Lola when I lived in Germany and Austria, I used to munch on chestnutsguess Lychees is a sign of our globalized planet!!!
Quoted from grey rabbit I'd forgotten about the chestnut vendors in Italia! There is nothing that compares to fresh roasted chestnuts
Quoted from ruthiegirl I like to put cocoa powder into my yerba mate.
Quoted from Conor I think it's kind of interesting that colonists in the mid-1700s drank, on average, at least two cups of tea a day, and we're just now finding our way back to this practice due more to the health benefits tea has been shown to provide. I imagine the descendants of East India Company's founders sure would like for the company to still be in business today.

Brent Gleeson
Chief Marketing Officer, Internet Marketing Inc.
San Diego-based digital marketing agency IMI is the second company started by Gleeson, who served as a Navy SEAL before setting his sights on the business world in 2005 with NewCondosOnline.com, a real-estate search engine he founded with business partner Brandon Fishman. That same year, as the housing market took a turn for the worse, they diversified into digital marketing. That's when things really took off: IMI has doubled in size every year since 2007, with projected 2013 revenue of $25 million. With a staff of 65-plus already, Gleeson is constantly recruiting talent from bigger-name agencies and beating them out for enterprise accounts, including the likes of Belkin, Polycom, Time Life and a major credit card company.
On creating opportunities:
Brandon and I both have finance and economics backgrounds, and we always keep an eye on opportunities. When we saw what was going on in the market, we thought about alternative services we could offer. We'd learned a lot about SEO and driving traffic to our site, which had helped us become digital marketing experts. So we started IMI as a small agency for clients we already had, and kept expanding from there.
On keeping employees inspired:
Obviously, my background as a SEAL is something I use to motivate myself, but the most difficult thing about motivation is consistency. People won't come to work motivated every day, so you have to do different things because everybody responds to different motivators. Maybe it's letting someone speak at a trade show, or offering a flexible schedule or having a fitness-oriented culture.
Our philosophy on motivation is not about running around being like Tony Robbins. First of all, we recruit the right types of people that fit our culture, but one thing that motivates is providing employees with resources for learning and professional development. As the owners, Brandon and I set guidelines for strategic direction, but we try to let employees be entrepreneurial within IMI. Directors have their own budgets, allowing them to be creative and drive their own business. And we do knowledge shares, where employees present new topics to others.
On attracting clients:
We do a damn good job. We want to create business partnerships, and they know we care. When we pitch someone, we talk about creating opportunity for everyone, to create jobs. I think we motivate clients by creating a personal connection. We win when we pitch based on passion and performance.

Laughing Head, 1938
Mixed media on panel, 13 x 12" (33.02 X 30.48 cm.)
Signed, lower right
Museum purchase, 940-0-104
Born in Cincinnati and raised in Detroit, Isabel Bishop came to New York at age
sixteen to study illustration at the New York School of Applied Design for Women. She soon
transferred to the Art Students League, studying under Kenneth Hayes Miller and Guy P6ne
du Bois, and, in 1934, she leased a studio on Union Square where she worked for the
remainder of her career. Sometimes grouped with Miller and Reginald Marsh as the
Fourteenth Street School, at other times associated with artists like Edward Hopper and
Raphael and Moses Soyer, Bishop remains America's most distinctive depicter and visual
poet of urban working women.
Isabel Bishop has been described by the painter R. B. Kitaj as "the best female
artist America produced (aside from Cassatt)." Like Mary Cassatt, Bishop's greatest
creative strength was an extraordinary drawing ability. Though successfully harmonized,
her color is characteristically muted and subordinate to effects of luminosity, expressed
in her later work as a kind of flickering syncopation suggesting the complex motion of the
city. Bishop stated that her earlier work was about the capacity for movement, while her
later works portrayed movement itself.
Among Bishop's greatest inspirations were the Baroque painters of the seventeenth century,
and some of her early works involve a close study of extreme and unflattering facial
expressions in the tradition of the youthful Rembrandt van Rijn's self-portrait etchings.3
In the 1930s and 1940s, Bishop drew, painted, and etched a series of
close-ups which capture the female face in unexpected poses: flashing perfect teeth while
applying lipstick, tightening a cheek to touch up a blemish, opening a mouth wide to bite
a hot dog, or grimacing while reaching deep to test an afflicted tooth. However, what
especially distinguished Bishop's work from the Baroque masters is the fact that her
principal subject matter was always women. Her individual heads, her nudes and especially
her interacting female couples sound a rare and distinctive modern note in both American
and European art.
In the original drawn study for this painting, five different heads appear. Two incline to
the right and three others, one of which is disposed quite similarly to the painting, lean
more gradually to the left. The Butler Institute also owns a print of the same subject,
which offers an interesting comparison. Extending the vertical length of the composition,
the etching loses the painting's four-square focus. At the same time, the normal
compositional reversal of the print implies a glance directed more pointedly outward than
the gaze in the painting, whose more complex contrapposto and wistful, equivocal smile
suggest greater inward reflection.
Within the nearly-square boundary of the painting, Bishop gave her Laughing Head the
casually dominant shape of a Venetian nobleman, and tilted her subject's face into a
three-quarter pose evoking the dynamism of a Peter Paul Rubens sketch, whose blond
tonalities her technique also echoes. Laughing Head is among the earliest of
Bishop's expressive faces, though the expression it renders is one of the most elusive and
complex she ever undertook. From archaic korai to the Mona Lisa, the female smile has been
a male metaphor for mystery, seduction, and alarming secrets. Bishop's image has replaced
the sinister smirk of the fatal woman or the sensual come-hither of the pin-up model and
odalisque with the more authentic, less dramatic miracle of daily laughter: the face of an
ordinary, plump woman, spontaneously illuminated by a smile.

You can download openbox along with any dependencies from the Arch repos with your internet connected computer, then use pacman to install them to your PC that has no internet connection:
Code:pacman -U /path/to/package/package_name-version.pkg.tar.xz
More info on using pacman here:
...and in a terminal:

Apple's new iPad 2 ad: Too much boasting?
A new ad for the iPad 2 tugs so hard at the heartstrings and makes such grandiose claims for its existence that some may find it a little much.
Have you ever walked into a bar, sidled up to a nice lady seated there, and told her how great, how powerful, how ground-breaking you are? No, really. Just once. Yes, that night after you got dumped by Clarissa with the large bank account.
It's very hard to tell someone how great you are. It's even harder when you try to do it in an ad. People wear their cynicism over their T-shirts these days, so I wonder how they might react to Apple's latest ad for the iPad 2.
This follows the excellent "We Believe" spot , which talked about philosophy, intention, and how technology alone isn't enough.
In this new ad, Peter Coyote's voice begins to talk for the people, as opposed to for the company. Some might find that an uncomfortable stretch.
"If you asked a parent, they might call it intuitive," hums Coyote at the beginning. "If you ask a musician, they might call it inspiring," he continues.
But when words like "ground-breaking," "powerful," and "the future" begin to roll from Coyote's throat, some might feel the urge to mutter: "I call it enough already."
Though the heartstrings experience a severe tugging, one is reminded that some of Apple's best ads are characterized not by how much they boast, but how little.

WINDSHIRT "Very Unique"
By: William McKinney President, Bradley's Military EnterprisesNew Technology:
The army issued wind jacket is a very unique clothing item that doesn't compare to any other product the military has used in the past. You can compare the Generation III silk weight items against the "old school" sleeping shirt. You can compare the level II grid fleece shirts & trousers against the previous military issued thermal underwear. You can also compare the level VI Gore-Tex system against various wet weather garments, but what can you compare a wind shirt against? As far as I'm aware there is no comparison. The wind Jacket is the first of its kind. The wind jacket is loose, airy and very comfortable. Personally, I wouldn't describe it as a wind breaker because it looks more like a shirt. This explains why it is commonly called the "wind shirt" by soldiers. When I think of the Extended Climate Warfighter Clothing System or ECWCS, I tend to think of extreme cold weather clothing items, but the wind jacket is an odd fit in this package. When I visualize myself using this product I can see me wearing it on a blistering hot day at Ft. Hood Texas or Ft. Sill Oklahoma. It would be ideal in a hot dry setting where the winds were flowing across the plains. Other than an additional layer of clothing, I don't know how this product fits into a cold weather clothing system. Since I'm somewhat confused by this product I will provide the following information that I found on an official web site: "The GEN III Wind Jacket is designed to act as a low volume shell layer that optimizes the moisture wicking properties of other GEN III insulating and next-to-skin levels. It is also designed to be worn under body armor."G.I. Generation III Level IV Wind Shirt:
Purchase Windshirt Here - $49.95• Constructed with MILLIKEN® nylon spandex material with a water resistant finish • Optimizes moisture wicking properties of other GEN III layers • Designed for wear under body armor and with the ACU • Increased wind and sand protection • Extreme low weight and bulk • Angled chest pockets with mesh lining for ventilation • Velcro closure sleeve pockets • Elasticized cuffs • Velcro fasteners for rank and name plates • Color: Universal Camouflage

On Tuesday, the School Town of Munster is asking residents to vote on an increase of our property taxes to fund its school districts. According to school corporation officials and its superintendent, homeowners can expect to pay approximately an extra $200 a year in property taxes for a home valued at $200,000.
This does not seem like an unreasonable request; for those with homes in the $200,000 price range, it comes to about $17 a month more in property taxes.
Such is the pernicious thinking that goes into all tax increases — it is not that much money, so what's the big deal. This type of thinking focuses on the incremental increase instead of the amount of money we are already paying in taxes. When viewed from the amount of money we are already paying in taxes — it is a big deal!
As a Munster resident, a homeowner and mother of a pre-school child, I am just as interested in maintaining a quality school system as anyone else is in Munster. And, as the advocates for the referendum have noted, good public schools help maintain property values. Nonetheless, I must vote "no" for this referendum and suggest that my fellow Munster citizens do the same. Here is why.
First, the problem with Munster school funding is not the amount of taxes we pay — it is the amount that the School Town of Munster receives from the state. Munster receives a very low amount of per-student funding from the state relative to the other school districts. Out of approximately 366 school districts around the state, Munster is almost at the bottom of per-student funding — ninth from last. This is an injustice and inequality. Simply put, Munster citizens and its school-aged children are not being treated equitably by the state of Indiana. Despite this, Munster has one of the top rated school systems.
What the School Town of Munster, its superintendent and its school board need to address is the inequity of the funding formula for the state of Indiana.
The answer to this inequality is not to make Munster citizens MORE unequal by asking Munster residents to pay even more taxes to fund our children's education. The answer is to force the state to equitably distribute the tax money it already collects so that Munster residents are not treated unjustly, unfairly and unequally. This is, no doubt, a difficult task. But it is what should be done — and for the long-term prospect of the Munster school system, it is what must be done. Of course, any such effort will need to involve our state legislators — namely Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon and Sen. Frank Mrvan.
Put simply, our elected officials on the school board as well as in the Indiana state legislature should be fighting on our behalf to ensure that we get the money we need to educate our children. This is a more difficult task than simply asking Munster residents if we want to tax ourselves more to make up for the inequality of our state funding. The Munster school board, its superintendent and our state legislators should be fighting for the equitable education of our children by challenging the state school funding formula. Unfortunately, they are not.
Second, there needs to be an assessment of administrative versus instructional costs. Major studies have demonstrated that administrative cost increases in school districts (across the county) have exploded while instructional costs (the cost of teachers) have not. I am bothered by the fact that those who administer the budget and who are asking for the tax increase are from the very strata that costs the most. It is difficult to cut administrative costs relative to instructional costs when the individuals in control of the budget are from solely the administrative strata. Before any new tax dollars are raised, this must be addressed.
Finally, Munster residents are facing not just a tax increase from a school referendum but also from Lake County, which wants to impose a 1.5 percent income tax and the state has just voted to release the hold on our levy, which means that many of us will see additional increases in our property taxes. The citizens of Munster are not endless vessels of money. When it comes to taxes and tax increases, less is more.

Hi there.
I have added my own idea for an IG regiment in the "100 Regiments for Only War" thread, but I can't see it. I did it earlier today, and my addition is not over long or includes any foul language or anything, so I don't think it's deleted. If one reads the thread starter page, it says, above "4 pages (58 messages). But I can only browse to reply #54 and not even that reply can be properly seen. It shows the creator of it, Paulus Rex, but not the message itself. And it's impossible to scroll further down. I'm reposting my idea for the regiment here instead, hope it's ok:
THE HARDLANDERS, Zero One, 1st.
Motto: "Hardheads Never Quit!"
This is a small 'Light Recon Regiment' newly founded on the backwater planet of Hardlanding. It's only 500 men strong and not very well equipped, using old Cadian mended and re-used military material, the most common guns are las carbines and autoguns.
Regimental Commander: Colonel Archibald Archer, "Double Arch".
A 65 year old coot with a rather senil personality, pretty much a grown child. Likes to dress up in parade uniform almost all the time. Loves big military parades, with setup men and guns. Would really like to "play" with "his soldiers" like a child with toys. Archer is put on his post by the planets only (poor) aristocratic family, but is in reality helped along with all mundane things by his adjutant, Ping, on a daily basis. Colonel Archer does not wield any real power of command in the regiment.
Real executive chief of the regiment is Colonel Pieter "Re Pete" van Rinse (as in "Rinse and Repeat").
A rather lanky, youthful looking man in his upper middle age. Has a past in the Inquisition as a former Interrogator (dismissed from service for some unknown reason) and uses this in his profession when such contacts are possible to maintain. Has general insight in the work techniques of the Inquisition and can use such measures in the field, when appropriate. The colonels main rule is that all military attainments has to be learnt by repetition, again and again, hence the nick "Re Pete". Is otherwise the owner of a harsh personality, with not much thought of justice.
Master of Scouts: Captain Simon "Too Much" De Tomaso.
Is either called only "Captain" or De Tomaso, the latter from his own orders. De Tomaso comes from locally well known Imperial Navy-family, nothing the captain wants to boast about he is rather softspoken with an extremly low voice and seldom holds anything but a low profile. Since the regiment has only 500 men, every company holds a small contingent of scouts, 10 per company. When De Tomaso gets a special assignment that demands a greater involvement from his men, the best scouts is picked and temporarily forms a small sixth "Scouting Company".
Chief Commissar: Rudolph Curzen.
A short but very broadly built man who has an impressive lung capacity and a powerful voice for talking and shouting on the field.
2nd Commissar: Ernst Raffel.
The younger, more mobile commissar who wants to be in the front of the battle, leading the men in heroic charges.
Confessor: Eberto Amarone.
A man with a raspy and hoarse voice and with oily dark hair. Often expresses a "will to talk in private about heretic tendencies you've shown, my son".
Regimental Medics: Chief Medic Nicola Sardo (collects preserved parts from corpses), assistant medic Ida Purj and Soren Jalonic.
Two men and a woman with former criminal background who has knowledge about several drugs and toxins, not learnt in school.
First Company: Captain Rickard "Primer" Kregowitz.
A prematurely greyed thinner but tall middle aged man with a nack for reciting the "Primer" and who holds the knowledge of that book in the highest esteem. Everything has to be done by the book. Open-minded, outspoken soldiers who shows creativity (like De Tomaso) is NOT popular with him.
Second Company: Major Wolfgang "Wolf" Hallendaar.
This is a personal friend of De Tomaso nad who's been watch captain with the Archer family, but who made himself dispensible through own expressed ideas of rationalisations the Archer family's will. Has a great libido and sometimes a hard time saying no to the lovely ladies.
Third Company: Captain Ruthger "Fisty" Lindst.
This very large man has a tatooed and shaved head, and is scarred over many parts of his body, incl his face. He leads the heavy company taking all assignments that involves bombes, hvy weapons and demolitions. Has been a Hardhead Wrestler Prize Winner.
Fourth Company: Captain Jamel "Mouse" Jacuba.
Besides De Tomaso, this is the best regimental tracker and scout. Has a past as a Tallarn desert warrior and still carries stuff as memories of that time, including a very long and filigraned Long Las. A light haired, black skinned man with blue eyes. Is actually not a good shot, but a master sneaker.
Fifth Company: Captain Urben "Short Supply" Benner.
A whiny and greasily fat man man with overprotective tendenses towards the equipment he is placed to manage for the regiment. Equipment is always "hard to get" or "almost out of supply". Always hoards stuff that is needed, especially for himeslf and for the brass. Can in single instances favorise certain soldiers that does favor for him. Even things that are in obvious abundance can be held back by this man. All with Van Rinses good memory, as the colonel likes a "tight run ship" (= the regiment).
(The Hardlanders regiment has no company numbered six to ten).

Former Denver guitar maker Scott Baxendale has attracted some impressive clients in Athens
Scott Baxendale performing at the 40 Watt in Athens, Georgia
Master luthier Scott Baxendale lives in Athens, Georgia, these days, but he still has Denver on his mind. In fact, he says he has plans to move back here at some point. Right now, though, the guitar maker and former Colfax Guitar Shop owner has his hands full in Athens, between running his latest guitar shop -- which boasts some high-profile clients, including Wilco, R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Of Montreal, Buddy Miller, Justin Townes Earle and Steve Earle -- and teaching at the Athens Luthier Academy, which he founded.
See also: Denver filmmakers take to the road and Do It for Johnny
We caught up with Baxendale, a longtime veteran of the Denver scene, to find out what he's been up to since he moved. We also spoke with him about Bones in the Desert, the album he just released with Athens legend Jack Logan, much of which was written and recorded in Denver (Baxendale is a first-rate guitarist himself). He also gave us the scoop on what happened with Do It for Johnny, the documentary about getting a screenplay based on his life into the hands of Johnny Depp.
Westword: Tell me about the album you did with Jack Logan.
Scott Baxendale: Jack Logan is sort of an underground local legend. He did these comic books called Peter Buck comics in the '80s. He's just a really prolific lyric writer, and my music and his lyrics have gelled together for this record. It's been pretty exciting, because we just get to work at our own pace and get to draw from all these incredible musicians that we can bring in to do a track here and a track there. It's pretty fun.
I was reading about how John Neff, formerly of the Drive-By Truckers, is his brother-in-law, and he introduced you two.
Yeah. John's two sisters are married -- one of them to Jack Logan, and the other is married to William Tonks, who plays in the band Bloodkin. And they both play in all kinds of other bands, too. William Tonks plays in about five or six different projects, as well. But they're all amazing. I met Jack through John Neff. Turns out, he was working in the same industrial complex where our shop is. He was working three doors over with this guy who makes these wax candle things that he sells.
So for the longest time John told me, "You need to give some of your music to Jack and let him write some lyrics to it." So I just compiled a CD of some stuff that I had been working on and just random stuff not thinking that he'd come up with anything -- just stuff to fill the CD up. Then, two weeks later or less, he came back with the first batch, and then he'd have like ten songs that he'd written lyrics to my music.
He just takes the demo track and he puts it on his four-track. He uses his four-track to come up two or three vocal parts that he puts on there with the lyrics. Then he burns that off on a CD and gives that back to me. I set up the master tracks and record the master tracks, or some of them have the master tracks recorded, but usually they don't.
So I set up the session, and record the rhythm track, and I'll get him to come over and lay the vocal on it. We'll do one song at a time, and he'll come over and do song, and then I'll do all the other producing and stuff. It just worked out fantastic.
I just sort of felt like his lyricism and his ability to write lyrics to my music just sort of legitimized my music, after a long time of wondering if it had any legitimacy at all because it was all instrumental. And it didn't really have an audience. This music seems to have an audience all of the sudden because of that.
Some of the demos you recorded in Denver, right?
Yeah. Maybe half the record I had either written the song or recorded the tracks in Denver before I moved. A couple of the songs, like that song "Run For Your Life," was virtually completely recorded in Denver, other than the vocal and maybe the bass part. Then, "Technical Difficulties," a lot of that was recorded, and "Erased," the rhythm track for that was recorded... and so I'd say maybe half the record was.
On some of them, I'd use just a portion of those tracks and then re-record a couple of them. The very first song on the record, "What Have You Been Up To," is one of those songs, and originally, it all these percussion loops and drum loops that were kind of the drum track.
I just had Brad Morgan come in play the drums to it, and I just took out all that stuff off. Because it was recorded in loop fashion it was really to record new rhythm tracks, which is kind of backwards to record. I was able to record new bass and drum parts to those songs really relatively easy, and it worked out really well I thought.
Brad's with the Drive-By Truckers, right?
Yeah. Brad Morgan plays drums on the record. And my shop right now is right next to Dave Barbe's studio. As we're talking, they're over there mixing their new album right now. I was just next door showing Patterson this new guitar that I painted green for him. It's pretty cool. With Barbe's studio next door, we get a lot of traffic from there because we'll loan them guitars to use, and they have several of our rebuild guitars over there that they keep in the studio. Eventually any band that comes in there to record ends up coming into our shop and usually having us do something or gets interested in some of our guitars that we do, the rebuild guitars especially.
It sounds like you guys have been dealing with some pretty big clients over the last few years.
As soon as I got here, I met DeWitt Burton, who has been the long-time guitar tech for R.E.M. Of course, they were basically breaking up, which is really just more of a restructuring of their business model more than it is they are actually breaking up. I have a feeling they'll be getting back together and doing something before it's all said and done, unless something happens to somebody. But I would imagine there will be some sort of R.E.M. reunion at some point. They just had too many people on their staff, and the record business is so different from when they were in power, so to speak.
They had a big staff of about fifty people, and so they retooled all of that. They kept DeWitt on. But I got a little sidetracked -- DeWitt got a temporary gig for the summer working for Wilco, and he took several of my guitars out there to their loft in Chicago. They fell in love with the rebuilt Harmonys. Jeff Tweedy just fell in love with one of the guitars that we did, and it became his main guitar, and it may still be. I hope it is.
Then Nels Cline had an old '40s Harmony that he sent to me after he got back because he loved what we did to them, and we rebuilt it for him. He says he loves it and that he plays it all the time. It's kind of interesting. Even though we're building custom guitars and I've got more orders now than ever, it's really the Harmony rebuilds and the Kays that really have the attention of the working class musician.
Why do you think that is?
There's two reasons why. One is that they're old and they have a really cool retro look to them. These guys now buy these new Fenders that are relic-ed in the factory to make them look old. These are really old guitars, and then after I rebuild them, they play and sound so amazing that they compete with guitars that were made by Martin and Gibson in those days, and, in fact, sometimes surpasses them. We sell them at a price that competes with stuff made in China and sold at Guitar Center.
We just finished up a Kay super jumbo for Buddy Miller, who's a big producer in Nashville. He loves the old Harmonys and Kays and old guitars and stuff. He does stuff with T-Bone Burnett and that kind of thing. So, Lera Lynn, who was in Athens, bought one of our Kays, and she just immediately started touring relentlessly with it. She got on Prairie Home Companion, and they gave us a couple of shout-outs on there. She talked about the guitar on there, and that got a lot of attention.
She's since moved to Nashville, and she's kind of become I think one of the darlings of Nashville at the moment. She's been promoting the hell out of us. It's just amazing what she's done for us. So it really couldn't have been a better move for what we're doing in terms of guitars to come here because it's really opened up the door. Surprisingly, I didn't think we'd start connecting with Nashville, but we really are starting to do a lot of business with people in Nashville.

My dear friend from middle school pinned a photo of a similar quilt on Pinterest... I left a comment that I loved that quilt!... I got a big box from her a few days before Christmas and this more then beautiful rag quilt was in it!... My bedroom is painted Behr Torch Gold and she could not have chosen coordinating fabrics any better... she has never actually seen my bedroom as she lives several states away from me. She even made a quilt tag she sewed on the bottom that said "To My Beautiful Friend"... I love you, then her name....I just can't get over it!.... |

Beautiful quilt and (obviously) a Beautiful friendship - her label wording is written from the heart. I wanted to make a rag quilt this fall, but decided I didn't want to invest all that time and hard energy cutting the "rag". Your quilt now has put this back on my list. Your quilt is so sophisticated - I love it! Your bedroom has the perfect combination of hard and soft. The colors and fabrics are perfect. What fabric did she use for the back? |
Gorgeous and she did a great job on the ragged seams! It matches your room perfectly! |

- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mission Viejo 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 Mission Viejo 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 Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mission Viejo paves the way for another one to be saved.

Sweet-Potato Soup with Nutmeg and Maple Syrup Reviews
Bon Appétit | December 2001
Mother's Bistro & Bar, Portland, OR
reviews & comments (48)
I had a few sweet potatoes lying around, so I decided to try this recipe for the first time last night, and it was DELICIOUS! I would definitely recommend this recipe!
I saved this recipe a few years ago and never made it. I stumbled upon it again this past November and thought it was a perfect soup to make for Thanksgiving. It was delicious! I decided to make it again for my family in Canada on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) and it was a hit. What a great winter soup!
As usual, I forgot to add the last minute ingredients (maple syrup and cream.) It was still really good even without these ingredients.
This is a fantastic soup. I have made it for Christmas on more than one occassion. Everyone loved it! I highly recommend this recipe.
I am no fan of sweet potatoes. However, the recipe made as written is a real winner. I made it for Thanksgiving and family were begging for leftovers.
I was missing a few ingredients and it was still great soup. I used celery salt instead of the celery, no onion - just the leeks, powdered cinnamon instead of the stick, and I added a dash of cayenne pepper as suggested by another. I also used one can of coconut milk instead of the half and half. We served it up and totally forgot about the syrup - and it was still a really yummy soup. I'll make it over and over - perhaps with all the ingredients next time.
Just o.k., won't make again as have made other sweet potato soups that I like better.
Great soup! I used half 2% fat lactose free milk and half heavy cream instead of half and half. My lactose intolerant husband ate it with no problems!
Excellent soup and perfect for a cold winter night. I used real maple syrup and will make again for company as well as family.
I've made a variation of this soup every year around the holidays since the recipe was published and my friends and family would have a fit if I didn't... tips for making it more flavorful are to roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling. I then use a ricer to add to the rest of the soup. I also always use homemade turkey or chicken stock. A little chili pepper in the background is worth a try too to help bring out the sweetness and add depth.

I recently left Charter One BAnk because they screwed up my HELOC. Their website to pay online has only limited options and to make a long story short , because of their inadequacies, cause me to pay twice in one month..this happened not once but 2 times and they also after that, having the online statement show that 0.00 was due , went and charged me with a late fee. And this is the kicker..after going to the bank in person , closing out that HELOC, they managed to overcharge me and have owed me money for 2 months. After calling several times and not getting anywhere, I now see on my credit report that they reported me 2 months late !! Because of money they owe me ! SO NEVER bank with Charter one. I am going to blast this all over the internet so so one else has to go thru this bs. I am also complaining to the states attorney and if anyone knows what federal agency takes those complaints I would appreciate hearing from you. I am so aggravated right now I feel like suing them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are great forums at myfico.net for discussing things like this. You will get great advice on disputing the credit report isses, etc. |
You can pull your credit report free, and disbute the charge. |

There are three federal agencies that may be able to help. I would try the Comptroller of the Currency first. They were very helpful when my bank was bought out by another bank who raised the interest rate I had on a loan from 8% to 26%. There was a class action lawsuit filed against them for doing this. The consumers won! "The Comptroller of the Currency respond to and investigates consumer complaints regarding the services mortgages, interest rates, credit cards, account deductions and much more." You member page says your in Chicago. The closest comptroller is: Midwestern- Federal Deposit Insurance Corp Office of Thrift Supervision |

Dear Wang, Agree with you on Charter - they are a terrible bank. Had an account with them for a couple of years. We still have a file folder full of their screw ups. The only reason we were with them is that they gobbled up a local chain of banks that we banked at. I agree with you and the other posters, it's very important not to let this drop but to report them to all of the above said agencies. As a sidenote, some other banks not to bank with or do any kind of home/auto loans are from personal experience: Fifth Third, TCF & of course HSBC (this one's backed by Shanghai Bank of China). |
Thanks . I have filed 3 complaints so far the FTC , the federal reserve and states attorney general. I will probably write a letter to the CEO of the new bank. Oh, believe me, they will not stop getting complaints til I get my money back. I have experian free for a year because my personal info was "compromised" via the Countrywide fiasco, so they gave everyone that that happened to free monitoring ,and I have had paid monitoring also. I could not figure out on their web site how to dispute a claim ,however. I will let you know if anything happens. This is so aggravating , but I will aggravate back ! :) |

This Broadcast is brief, but oh-so-sweet. Maira Kalman, children's book author, illustrator, product designer, librettist, and critical mass of inspiration, innovation, and imagination, teaches a class at the School of Visual Arts MFA Designer as Author program, where each year she conceives new ways of telling stories. This year, for her "suitcase project," students are invited to create three-dimensional, autobiographical visual narratives. Steven Heller, co-chair of the MFA program, caught up with Maira during the formative stages of the project.
After a rundown of some of the suitcases (one emits light and sound; another telescopes out to tables and chairs), the conversation moves to the take-away. "And what are YOU getting out of it?" Steven poses. Maira responds, "A headache."
Perfect charm.

The Toronto Blue Jays thrust themselves to the front of the larger baseball conversation this winter, overhauling their roster and becoming a World Series contender almost overnight. As with any sweeping change, there is bound to be some growing pains.
We here at Getting Blanked turned to local PR pro and woman about town Meredith Rogers to help bring new Jays fans into the fold (not to mention helping entrenched fans come to grips with the flood or newbies on their turf.) Enjoy!
A Twisted Guide to Blue Jays Opening Day: new fans at the ballpark
Allow me to be among the first to congratulate you on emerging from a long, harsh winter to baseball. Sure, we do the winter thing every year, but I'm always surprised and delighted to thaw out in the spring.
The Blue Jays 2013 season has finally arrived. Here we stand on the precipice of a thousand Colby Rasmus thought pieces. On the cusp of a hundred Jose Bautista call outs that are unfathomable to no one but Jose Bautista. On the edge of a thousand Jose Reyes GIFs.
I mean, this is happening to Toronto. It's okay to get excited.
According to a poll published in Canada's largest newspaper (shout out to Toronto Star), 89 per cent of people have – correctly, I'm sure – predicted that the Blue Jays will make the playoffs.
As such, longtime followers of this team must prepare for a different opening day experience than of years gone by. Change on the field breeds change in the stands. People are going to love this team for a host of different reasons and there's room in the Rogers Centre all of them. Get ready to make some new, unlikely friends at the park.
Who are the future baseball/Blue Jays diehards? Let's talk new archetypes.
The Newbie Stathead
They've spent the offseason trawling Ghostrunner on First archives and introducing themselves to the world of advanced statistics. After a quiet winter in deep study, you can expect this fan to practically scream his new learnings to friends, possibly in one breath. What fun is learning the stats if no one else is aware they know them? It'll take a while for them to get over the novel sound of advanced stats rolling off their tongue. Bear with them; thir pursuit is noble. BA-BIP, BA-BIP, BA-BIP. Music.
The Local Celebrity Fan
The Jays are the city's new hotness, this much is true. You can expect to see more local celebrities at games who are there to boost their profile. Geddy Lee is judging them. The Toronto celebrity roster will be pretty sad (Big Brother Canada castoffs, Ben Mulroney, perhaps the rare Chavril sighting), but if you're at the game and you run into a Canadian star, do not approach them. Their egos don't need it. Also, the kids from Degrassi don't want to talk to you. Trust me on this.
The Anti-Bandwagoner Fan
"Oh, are the Jays popular now? Pardon me while I go drop $500 on Astros gear."
The Non-Sporting Fan
Not just a group at the Westminster dog show. The non-sporting sports fan look for non-traditional ways to enjoy the team. They're always gathering context about favourite players – they watch for the storylines. David Cooper is god among non-sporting fans, believe it or not.
The 2013 Blue Jays have two secret weapons that will interest the literary minded non-sports fan in your life: Brandon Morrow and RA Dickey. I've converted several bookish friends to Jays fandom by dropping the powerful tidbit that Brandon Morrow likes crossword puzzles, and that RA Dickey reads. It's that simple.
That RA Dickey. He somehow wrote a book about religion that doesn't offend godless people; a feat almost more impressive than his knuckleball.
The Hockey-Fan Baseball Fan
This fan was deeply upset by the Go Jays Go chants at the ACC this winter. They attend the home opener intending to start a Go Leafs Go chant. They do not succeed.
The Wave Shunner
This character is an everyday hero and longtime DJF reader. Nothing upsets the Shunner more than the persisting disruption of the wave. The wave shunner misses most of the ball game while patiently explaining exactly why the wave sucks (because it is stupid). They're doing good work; converting a few anti-wavers at a time, but ultimately, the endeavor is fruitless. Sadly, in Toronto, much like a poor public transit system, the wave is an institution. If you are friends with a Wave Shunner, buy them $12 beer (Steamwhistle! Why not!) and tell them everything is going to be all right.
The Party Bus Fans
Groups of young fans travelling in packs of 800 or so. Loud, proud and angling to get on the Jumbotron. Party Bus Fans have been an opening day lock forever, but they're different this year because you are older and they make you grumpy. You may not understand their #value, but they are #important to the #team because they buy a lot of Brett Lawrie shirseys and tweet about it. They're the reason you'll hear far more Macklemore than Baby Elephant Walk at games this year. Sorry.
The Jose Reyes Superfan
Hopefully after Reyes' leadoff hit in the first, everyone in the building will include themselves in this category. I can't believe I thought I knew happiness before Reyes. As a player and a figurehead he has an important role in the organization. Baseball fans in the age of Twitter tend to live, die and tweet by every play (you don't have to tweet after each play, you know. It's not a rule.) This extreme immersion in every game drives fans toward the hyperbolic and serious. Things can get dark real quick in baseball land.
Above all, baseball is a fun game. There is lightness in Jose Reyes that this team and city needs. Sorry, emo Ricky Romero. I hope we remember to appreciate that.
Speaking of everyone's new favourite player, I'm worried about where Jose Reyes is going to party. I hope for everyone's sake that Toronto's clubs are hot like fire. Reyes looks like he needs to dance.
The John Gibbons Lookalike Fan
There will be hundreds of Gibby twins outfitted in their fanciest track suits*. Is chewing tobacco legal at the ballpark?
**Despite his proclivity for tracksuits, John Gibbons strikes me as a man of high emotional intelligence (unlike Farrell and his absentee dad vibes); a trait I value highly in leadership. Long live Gibby.
The Specifically Cruel Theatre Kid Fan
These creative fans took note of Mark Buehrle's fight against Ontario's pit bull ban and recognize a made-for-TV opportunity when they see one. Akin to the still funny ARod-Madonna fan spectacular, I expect/hope to see the meanest fans of opposing teams dress in dog suits and terrify us all.
The result of a deeply weird Google image search adventure:
Sidebar — does anyone know why Rogers isn't hosting a Dog Days promotion this year? Is it to prevent Mark Buehrle's tears from ruining the Rogers Centre turf? That stuff isn't built for floods.
I love dogs. Why am I being so mean to Mark Buehrle? Next!
The Dustin McGowan Jersey Fan
Long ago, Dustin McGowan possessed potential and handsomeness. His jersey was a popular choice. Certain fans who believed in McGowan are now reluctant to purchase a new player's jersey after years of setbacks and frustration. They won't get burned again! In years past, the appearance of a McGowan jersey wouldn't have seemed that sad, but in 2013, you worry that McGowan fandom gave them permanent trust issues.
The final archetype is what I call the knowledgeable-yet-socially-perfect-fan, which is of course where you fall. Enjoy Opening Day.

How to Keep Houseplants Hydrated When You're Out of Town
Not close with your neighbors? Not to worry: You can still keep your indoor plants thriving while you're spending a weekend—or even up to a week—on vacation.
First, water the plants thoroughly. Then place a towel at the bottom of a bathtub or a sink and fill with about two inches of water. Sit the plants in the tub or the sink and they'll soak up the water gradually.

AMERICAN ACCOUNTING ASSOCIATION www.aaahq.org CONTACT: Ben Haimowitz (212-233-6170)
At a time when YouTube boasts that its users are uploading 24 hours of video every minute, it comes as no surprise that a leading business magazine predicts the written word will soon be supplanted as the basic unit of corporate communications. New research in a leading scholarly accounting journal suggests, though, that for all its vaunted powers, video can present special hazards for a company when those powers are most needed -- namely when there is bad news to report.
Exploring the use of video in announcing company financial restatements, a new study in The Accounting Review, published by the American Accounting Association, suggests that, while the newer medium can help shore up investors' trust, it can also occasion an erosion in trust much more severe than a textual statement is likely to cause.
In the words of the study, "Announcing a restatement online via video is likely to benefit firms only when top management apologizes for the restatement and accepts responsibility by making an internal attribution for the error. When management apologizes but denies responsibility by making an external attribution, announcing a restatement online via video is likely to have unintended negative effects on investors."
What kind of negative effects? Asked to gauge the trustworthiness of a CEO who accepts responsibility via video for his company's flawed financial statements, professional managers gave him an average rating of 6.15 on a scale of 1 to 7. Asked to do the same for a chief who blames external accountants, the managers bestowed an average of 4.0.
What accounted for this dramatic difference? A single sentence in the middle of the restatement announcement.
Yet, no such striking discrepancy in ratings was seen when the very same CEO announcements were presented in text format, 4.75 when the CEO accepted company responsibility and 4.55 when he laid the blame elsewhere.
"Video announcements of this kind require very special care," comments Frank D. Hodge of the University of Washington's Foster School of Business, who carried out the study with W. Brooke Elliott of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Lisa M. Sedor of DePaul University. "Managing the response of investors to events as negative as restatements (which, according to the GAO, reduced market capitalization of companies by $36 billion over a three-year period) is a formidable undertaking. Doing so via video over the Internet makes it all the more formidable."
The message is reinforced by another finding of the study -- regarding willingness to invest in a company following a restatement announcement. Professional managers were asked before and after they learned of the restatement how much they would invest in the company. When they learned of the restatement via a video announcement by the CEO, the amount they intended to invest dropped a mere 3% if the chief took responsibility but almost 26% if he blamed outside accountants.
In contrast, the drop was almost the same when the CEO announcements were presented in textual format, about 16% and 13% respectively.
In their comparison of the two communication formats, the professors recruited 80 professional managers with an average of about nine years' work experience and asked them to consider the investment-worthiness of a fictional, medium-sized company with a tradition of good financial results and strong management and a "reputation for open and honest communication with the investment community." The 80 managers were divided into four equal groups, two of which learned of the financial restatement (the first in the firm's history) via a video announcement by the CEO, as played by a professional actor, and two of which learned via a textual announcement from the chief. Whether in text or video, the announcements were identical except for a single sentence in the middle, artfully spliced into the tape version so that an outsider is highly unlikely to be aware of the insertion.
In half the versions, the sentence was, "We are fully responsible for this error because we relied on the advice of our internal lease accounting expert when preparing our financial statements." In the other half, the sentence was, "We are not responsible for this error because we relied on the advice of external lease accounting experts when preparing our financial statements."
How is it that this single sentence on a rather technical matter of lease accounting had such an impact in video? The professors identify trust as a key factor when combined with the magnifying power of video. In the words of the study, "Restating financial statements is inconsistent with investors' positive expectations regarding an investee firm and its management, thus damaging investor trust...Although excuses can be effective, individuals who deny responsibility for a failure (i.e., excuse their behavior by blaming others) risk being viewed as more deceitful and as possessing lower character than are individuals who accept responsibility for the failure. Beliefs about another's character are key components of trust, and once violated trust is difficult to repair. Even when the violator issues an apology, accepting responsibility by making an internal attribution repairs trust to a greater extent than does denying responsibility by making an external attribution."
Does this suggest that companies should take the blame -- and reap the benefits that video bestows for doing so -- even if the a restatement really does happen to be the fault of outsiders? Prof. Hodge concedes that this can be a tempting option, given that video admissions of fault proved such an effective way of minimizing loss of trust among participants in the study. But, he adds, "Clearly there are ethical and legal reasons not to be that devious. What this study points to is the need to be alert to the powerful effect video has when people's feelings come into play. If outsiders are to blame for your company's restatement, by all means say so, but you'd better make sure you document it and make a strong case for it.
"Plus, for good measure, you still probably need to apologize for letting it happen."
The study, entitled "Using Online Video to Announce a Restatement: Influences on Investment Decisions and the Mediating Role of Trust," is in the March/April issue of The Accounting Review, published six times a year by the American Accounting Association, a worldwide organization devoted to excellence in accounting education, research, and practice. Other journals published by the AAA and its specialty sections include Accounting Horizons, Issues in Accounting Education, Behavioral Research in Accounting, Journal of Management Accounting Research, Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, and The Journal of the American Taxation Association

Date 2004-02-12 Availability unrestricted Abstract HIV/Aids has become a household term in South Africa. Most people are aware of the existence of the disease and how it is transmitted. Several people have used this information as the impetus for behaviour change but there are many individuals who have not heeded this call and have not made any significant changes to their lifestyles. This is reflected in South Africa's high infection rate. It would seem as if, for various reasons, people know how to protect themselves but have not used this knowledge to guard against possible infection.The purpose of this study is to explore the reasons why people have not changed their behaviour and to identify possible techniques that can be used to amend this situation. This will take the form of an intensive three-day prevention workshop where participants will be asked to think critically about their own behaviour. The aim of the programme will be to discuss, demystify and debate ideas.
How will this programme be designed? The researcher will make use of focus groups consisting of Technikon students who will offer their thoughts and opinions. Once these focus groups have been conducted the researcher will undertake an intensive analysis of the data and identify certain key issues. A literature review will then follow. Therefore, the foundation of this programme will be based on the ideas of the participants, the researcher's ideas and some points from formal behaviour change theories.
The goal of this study is to add to the already growing body of HIV/Aids prevention literature and to design a programme that is useful and relevant.

Until today's quarterfinal play-in games that saw Slovenia surprise Austria, Latvia surprise Switzerland and Slovakia damn near pull out a miracle versus the Czechs, the hockey hadn't really been all that thrilling. The lack of parity has positioned underdogs to play a slightly more aesthetically pleasing version of trap-era New Jersey Devils' hockey, the top teams have rarely had to shift out of third gear, and unfamiliar powerplay units had been fumbling with pucks that handled like footballs during the round robin tournament.
While everyone expects the hockey to get better (as it started to yesterday), I thought I'd take a look at the hockey that's been played to date and highlight a few NHL/Olympics differences that have stood out to me during this year's tournament so far. Hopefully some of the trends can clue us into things we can expect to see in the quarters and beyond.
There's a ton of d-zone sagging
While teams in the NHL don't exactly play man-on-man coverage in their own end, most do use some version of layering, which involves being a bit more aggressive. The general rule there is that defenders play soft until they see a bobbled puck – at the first hint of that, they're pedal-to-the-floor, hoping to create a 50/50 battle for a loose puck instead of letting their opponent regain control and continue their possession.
In Sochi, particularly with the lesser teams, we're seeing them basically pull together into a tight square in front of their net with the extra defender fronting the guy with the puck and inviting him to either take a low percentage shot or to try to beat him one-on-one (which isn't a high percentage option). The other four defenders are often so tight (sagging) that there's no middle soft spot, making it seem pointless to head there for opposing forwards (it's not, in my opinion, but there's certainly no immediate reward – a shot – as there may be in the NHL).
Because of that, we're seeing a lot of shots from curious distances. They aren't your usual one-timers from d-men (the distance from the blueline to the net are different in NHL/Olympic play), or your usual soft-spot slot shots (©Justin Bourne Feb. 19th, 2014), they're hopeful mid-range shots taken before players approach this defensive sag. They might go in but probably won't, so if you're a team like Switzerland and you know you're going to need some luck you'll happily take that deal, especially with Jonas Hiller in net.
There's less time wasted on "intimidation"
It's not that challenging to hit a guy when his shoulders are against the boards and he's moving in one direction. Unless he bails out, which you can read too, you've got him dead to rights, so you might as well put a lick on him to encourage him to rush plays in the future, then bounce off him and carry on your merry way.
With the extra width of the international ice you've got to take a good number of additional strides to get a guy against the wall like that, so if you do decide to go finish that check, there's a gigantic uncovered area of ice where you used to be. Against good players, that's not a good thing, and recovery isn't so easy when the rink is 100 feet wide. So, guys are being smart and avoiding chasing hits that take them out of position.
Also of note: there are less plugs whose sole hockey role is to run into people, and fighting punishments are so steep in a tournament that only lasts four-to-seven games that it's not worth it, so you see guys spending less time on personal vendettas. Hell, if you only get in five or six games and only play 10-15 minutes a night, you better make that Olympic experience count personally instead of getting in a eff-you match with some guy from a country who doesn't speak your language anyway.
More players are getting flat-out burned
The nice part about playing more passive hockey is that you don't expose your guys to one-on-one confrontations with superior players, but it's never entirely unavoidable. You can have all the support you like around your home base, but occasionally you'll be asked to stop a guy in open ice. And like when Phil Kessel got his wheels up against Slovenia…
…it didn't end up looking pretty. Guys get burned in the NHL too, but usually it's not so cringe-worthy. I've noticed it most often in the corners on cutbacks. A guy like Sidney Crosby or Matt Duchene or Marian Hossa or whoever can completely shake defenders and create space for themselves, at least enough to get their heads up and look for somewhere to see the puck, which is why you see such long offensive zone possessions.
There's more passive neutral zone hockey
I'll keep this one short because the cause is a combination of the first two points: players would rather force opponents to come through them than run out of position and give them options. Savvy players tend to find those and exploit them.
It's also worth noting that aggressive forechecks require more communication and general chemistry to execute well because you're reading off your linemates, and most of these guys haven't played together before. That'd make it a pretty risky endeavour to enter game one of the tourney trying something too frisky. Rules to live by there, kids. Frisky = risky.
Over-passing early, under-passing late
This is extremely anecdotal, but it seemed to my eye that early in the tournament, and early in games in particular, players seemed to defer to their teammates with a frequency I haven't seen before…and it didn't go great. Maybe it's just a product of playing on what guys likely view as all-star teams and that they feel like they should be playing like Harlem Globetrotters-style or something, but it made for some weird shifts with a lot of poor passing.
And as teams fall behind and the game clock clicks down, it feels more and more like you see one-man rushes where guys want to be the nation-saving hero. I dunno. Just seemed like that to my eye, so see if you can recognize anything like this in the coming games to validate that.
Big ice can make hockey seem a little slower at times because players aren't as rushed to move the puck, but that likely won't be a problem as we move into games where teams with elite talent face their equals. If you remember anything about how the Olympic finals have gone in past years, "slow" probably wasn't a describing word that came up much.

Hi there. I am so glad your blog is available and am hoping you can help
me. I am desperate. About five years ago, my husband and I purchased a
pillow top from original mattress factory. We were swayed by the fact the
omf mattresses have padding on the top and bottom. For awhile we were
convinced it was the best purchase we ever made. Now, we are miserable. I
was in a bad car accident 10 years ago and this mattress seems to be
aggravating all of my injuries. I am absolutely miserable, waking up w/ lower
and upper back pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain. My husband is now
noticing pain too. I am barely sleeping. We recently stayed at a hotel with a
beauty rest westbury mattress and it felt heavenly. I have been reading your
blog, however, and know the hotel feel can be misleading. We have 3
children and do not have the luxury of time to spend shopping for a mattress
and listening to a sales pitch. I need some advice as to some mattress
info/suggestions. What do u think about something comparable to the
westbury? Are there any other recommendations you have? I am a back/
side sleeper, of average height and weight. I need help badly. I am a
teacher and cannot handle any additional sleepless nights. I would
appreciate any help you can give!
Hi Erika,
You have to understand that there is no permanent solution. A mattress simply wears out over time.
It's not like the old days, when they lasted 10 to 20 years. Those days are long gone.
Your injuries don't help any. They make you more sensitive to the changes in a mattress as it wears.
You'd do well to resign yourself to having to make this purchase every few years....at best.
A longer term solution would be to start off with a firmer, more durable mattress and add to that, a topper to soften the surface.
Even with a cheap topper, replacing that every year is less costly and less painful than having to replace a softer mattress every few years.
The best...most comfortable and longest lasting...of the toppers, is latex. 2" of soft latex on a reasonably firm mattress, feels like you spent thousands...and keeps its shape well.
Pillowtops wear out too easily because the top layers of padding aren't tightly attached to the edge of the mattress.
The two most common products that you'll run into while shopping are, pillowtops and memory foam. Neither one is advisable.
If you don't feel like shopping, you can get yourself that which we sell more of along these lines.
The Stearns & Foster Blisswood in luxury firm and a 2" latex topper. Here are the links to those products.
