Tree Campus USA is a national program created in 2008 to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals. Toyota helped launch the program and continues its generous financial support this year.
Cleveland State Community College achieved the title by meeting Tree Campus USA's five standards, which include maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures toward trees, an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning projects.
"Students are eager to volunteer in their communities and become better stewards of the environment," said John Rosenow, founder and chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.
"Participating in Tree Campus USA sets a fine example for other colleges and universities, while helping to create a healthier planet for all of us," he said.
"Toyota is so proud to support a program that we believe has a tremendous impact on both reducing the environmental footprint of a college campus and inspiring college students to become the conservation leaders of the future," said Patricia Salas Pineda, group vice president of National Philanthropy and the Toyota USA Foundation.
The Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota have helped campuses throughout the country plant hundreds of thousands of trees, and Tree Campus USA colleges and universities invested $23 million in campus forest management last year.
More information about the program is available at arborday.org/TreeCampusUSA.

Area 51 has long held a coveted place in the minds of conspiracy theorists. In recently released CIA documents officials have acknowledged the bases existence, and say its purpose was much less spectacular than had been rumored.
According to documents the Area 51 site, located about 125 miles northwest of Las Vegas was actually used as a testing facility for the Cold War U-2 and OXCART surveillance programs.
For those who truly believe in paranormal oddities the CIA's documents are likely to spawn conversations of a further cover-up. All I can say is that the truth is out there.

WATCH: Tim Blanks' Throwback Thursday Takes Us To Chanel Beach
Senior Digital Projects Editor
Oddly enough, this isn't the first time we've thought about early '90s Chanel this week—but who's counting? In the most recent installment of their #ThrowbackThursday series, Style.com and Tim Blanks revisited Chanel's Spring 1991 collection from Karl Lagerfeld. It's full of great quotes ("My life is based on change. What I say is OK for the next 10 minutes, then I change my mind.") and familiar faces like Anna Wintour, Linda Evangelista and the rest of the supers. It's also refreshing to see the catwalk and models act a little more spontaneous than what you might see on the dour runways of today. Watch below!

Home Office statement
A Home Office spokesperson said: "The Government strongly disagrees with this ruling. We have obtained assurances not just in relation to the treatment of Qatada himself, but about the quality of the legal processes that would be followed throughout his trial. Indeed, today's ruling found that "the Jordanian judiciary, like their executive counterparts, are determined to ensure that the appellant will receive, and be seen to receive, a fair retrial." We will therefore seek leave to appeal today's decision."

Fall wedding cakes can be some of the most elegant yet sophisticated style cakes we have the opportunity to craft. The autumn colors in fall wedding cakes are more dynamic than the typical colors of other seasons, and really make fall wedding cakes stand out at any wedding. It's the deep, earthy feel to the fall colors and ornaments that transform the fall wedding cakes from something beautiful and stunning to simply gorgeous. Below we have a sample of a number of fall wedding cakes with an explanation of just why they are amazing.
Falling wedding cakes reach their pinnacle when they are crafted to look like this custom cake above. The time, effort, love and detail that was put into this wedding cake cannot be matched. The final product incorporated very simple yet elegant as well as slightly abstract scrolling on each layer of the cake to add an element of sophistication. The dark brown and off-white alternating color scheme also added to the simple elegance of this fall wedding cake. What's more, edible fall foliage was added in bunches to each of the layers, really setting a rich fall theme on the cake.
Whimsical Fall Wedding Cake with Pumpkins & Foliage
Fall wedding cakes like the one above are more on the playful and whimsical side of wedding cakes. The little edible pumpkins are one of the highlights of this cake, along with the vines protruding from the pumpkins and the edible fall foliage throughout the fall wedding cake. To add to the playfulness of this custom cake, each of the three layers has a different design scheme. The bottom layer has a black and white stripped theme, the middle two layers a marble theme and the top a solid milk chocolate with dots scheme. Fall wedding cakes are rarely this fun and creative, for fall wedding cakes like this you have a lot of fun designing as well as building them!
Fall wedding cakes can also be extremely stunning and elegant in their form, and the custom cake above is just that. The off-white paired with the fall colors creates a beautiful color contrast that is matched in elegance by the contours of the draping and the cake. Fall wedding cakes like the one above really stick out because of the rainbow array of deep, earthy fall colors. Not only that, but the fall feeling is really enhanced by the edible and elegant fall foliage in reds, gold, browns and more.
Finally, fall wedding cakes at their most glorious and beautiful. The above fall wedding cake merges traditional wedding cake elements including ivory fondant icing as well as draping and merges it with various prominent fall wedding cakes themes. These include fall colors in the flowers and in the marble base of the custom cake. The edges of the edible flower clusters in each corner have nice rich brown hues as well as in the edible flower pollen areas. Fall wedding cakes rarely reach this level of mastery and we are proud of the many hours of planning then building that went into this custom wedding cake beauty!

Hardware recommandation
Added by Anthony Glidic over 3 years ago
Hi, i search to build a high availability cluster. So i have check some proposition made by nexenta partner. And i think the best way is to have 2 head nodes plus some mirrored shelves behind. So my question is for the zil and the l2arc at the begining i was thinking to put 2 zeus ram for the zil and 2 others ssd for the l2arc on the node. But if i put the zil and l2arc on the head node when the head node go down i think i could be problematic because the zil won't be shared in that case.
So is it better to put the zil and the l2arc on the shelves or on the head nodes?
RE: Hardware recommandation - Added by David Bond over 3 years ago
Zil in the shelves, l2arc doesn't matter really, on failover doesn't provide much unless the failover is for a prolonged period. But l2arc in the head in a ha cluster is no longer supported. You need the zil in the shelves for the failover.

Very good
The staff was friendly, even the housekeeping would say hello, when we would pass by. Very prompt! We asked for extra pillows and towels when we checked in and within a minute of getting into the room, the towels and pillows were delivered. Restaurant food was excellent, but pricey. The ambiance was fabulous. Loved the view from our window.
Our room was dusty, corners in the bathroom looked like they had grime. The hall wood trim around the doors and down the hall, leading to our room, was dusty. The water main had caused an issue with getting water on Friday. We didn't want to use porta potties. (Though it was good that the hotel was supplying water and trying to make accommodations). So we spent the day out of the room. Personally we thought there should have been a discount for that day, for the inconvenience.
views and location no deposit or payment required at time of booking
Beautiful setting on the Marina, friendly desk staff.
Room service breakfast did not arrive. Did not arrange sufficient staff to cater for large conference groups all dining at the same time. I am sorry but Americans just cannot make coffee, please give up now.
The location is very good the bar and food if very good,
The view we had this time was of a tree not good considering we were staying for 6 nights no sun very partial view this is our second time in this place. We won't be going back. We love San diego and we visit from the uk twice a year. But we normally stay where we have a view this hotel did not make it happen for. Immaterial what the front of house has to reply. We did ask prior to the visit that we would like a view. The lady said that we were not entitled to a view with our room type.
I love the view right outside the hotel, and behind the hotel! It's lovely to walk along the coast in the mornings. The size of the room is also decent. I stayed in a 2 bed room with my family. The washroom is also fairly big.
The cleaner came round really early in the morning at 8AM to knock on the door. We didn't realise we have to put the "NO DISTURB" sign outside so maybe that's why she knocked to check if she could clean.. but still, it's way too early! We stayed at the bottom floor, and on our last day someone moved in to the room above us. It was really noisy when they were walking around in their room and it disturbed our sleep. However, it's our last night and we're glad it didn't happen during all our nights there at the hotel
Good location, friendly staff, good food at the restaurant, quick and reliable wifi
Tried to charge different rate when checking out (had to show confirmation from booking.com), no self-service laundry available
Staff was knowledgeable and very responsive.
Room was cramped with two queen size beds.

If kids upstairs, can hear them running & parents screaming at them (unfortunately) 8:00a.m., sound of carts of cleaning crew noticeable; make sure & post Do Not Disturb card!
Lovely location by bay. Blue Wave Restaurant = food excellent. Phil's BBQ nearby - superb ribs/burgers. Suggest you get take away, don't queue for ages to eat in.
Limited supermarkets nearby. Slightly out of way for getting about SD.
We loved everything about this property.
No negative comments.
Loved everything from the moment we stepped foot into the main lobby for check-in to the moment we called the front desk to check-out! Staff is extremely friendly and attentive. We work in a high-end casino on the Las Vegas strip and I would say it was very comparable, maybe better! Room was very clean, beds were made immaculately (one bed pillow had a small black smudge) and the view was AMAZING for the price! All-in-all, we would DEFINITELY stay here again!
The only negatives we noticed was that the preventative maintenance isn't being performed in the rooms on a regular basis. The bathroom door didn't close properly due to hinge issues, the rack in the tub was about to fall from the wall (safety issue for guest) and was rusted. Vanity doors had the same issues with hinges. Also the counter for the desk area was broken clear through from front to back. Other than those few issues, everything was really good! Note: We work in the Facilities Dept. (maintenance) in a Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. We see things others don't normally see.
Took a trip over thanksgiving weekend and stayed at this hotel. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean. We had breakfast on site, the food was very good and service was wonderful. We definitely plan on staying again in the future.
Privacy, decor, loved sitting by the marina and the restaurant was excellent. We could only stay one night but would love to come and and walk around. No time to use the pool but it looked lovely.
Very large and comfortable room. Very good staff Free WiFi Cheaper parking Very nice place Not far from the center Very peaceful A very good experience in this hotel. Any room is a suite. There is a convention with the closer restaurant. Rooms and all the structure are fantastic. Not in centre but near the airport (about 2 miles) and with the car you can reach gaslamp in just 10 minutes. Every buck was spent good!
Air conditioner just a little bit noisy
Located on Shelter Island thiis Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina is conveniently located to the marina, airport, Mission Bay attractions, Old Town, Hotel Circle, many good restaurants and 10 minutes from downtown. An attractive pool overlooks the massive marina and is located adjacent to the cafe and bar. The staff from the General Manager to the grounds personnel is extremely friendly and competent. Parking is safe and free.
Nothing to report.

Someone improperly deadheaded our rhodos. Instead of trimming at the base of the flower, the cut was at the base of the stem (similar to pruning a geranium.) What will this do to any future flower growth? Is there anything we can do now since this happened? |
Follow-Up Postings:
No problem. They pruned it rather than deadheading it. It will be bushier and since it was still spring, it will form many flower buds for next year. Actually, when deadheading, I don't cut anything. I grab the spongy material at the base of the truss and bend it sideways, breaking it in the middle. It breaks very easily. Actually, I seldom deadhead. If a plant blooms alternate years or if it gets petal blight, then deadheading is critical. If the plant produces lots of nice healthy flowers, deadheading is mainly cosmetic. |

Sources: Titans want Vince Young trade
The Tennessee Titans intend to try to trade quarterback Vince Young rather than release him, according to league sources.
Young is due a $4.25 million roster bonus 10 days after the start of the league year, whenever there's a new collective bargaining agreement. It originally had been thought Young was due the bonus March 10.
AFC South blog
ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky writes about all things AFC South in his division blog.
Thus, from the moment the new CBA is signed, Tennessee will have a 10-day window in which to trade Young and his contract that calls for $8.5 million in base salary during the 2011 season.
Another team would have to be willing to take on Young's contract -- or be willing to restructure it. The Titans can release Young starting Feb. 7 but they do not have plans to do that now.
Young is 30-17 in five NFL seasons, but only 13-14 against teams finishing a season .500 or better. He's also battled questions about his work ethic, leadership and injuries. He suffered a season-ending thumb injury on his right hand Nov. 21, tossed his shoulder pads into the stands and told off former coach Jeff Fisher in front of the team before storming out of the locker room.
In an interview with ESPN earlier this month, Young said he considers himself an elite NFL quarterback.
"I'm going to go into the organization, the team, and compete. That's all I can do, and let them make their own decision after that," Young said. "Definitely I am a starting quarterback, an elite quarterback in the NFL. I want to go ahead and start. But like it always is, the coaches have the last word."
Meanwhile, the Titans are also searching for a replacement for Fisher, with whom the club parted ways last week after 16 seasons.
The team interviewed offensive line coach Mike Munchak on Monday for the head coaching job. League sources said Munchak had a stellar interview and is the current front-runner.
Linebackers coach Dave McGinnis is on tap, too, but McGinnis balked at becoming the Titans' defensive coordinator. Tennessee will interview offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger on Tuesday.
The Titans also will interview former Cowboys assistant coach Ray Sherman on Thursday, a source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
The search is being handled by Titans executive vice president Steve Underwood and general manager Mike Reinfeldt, with owner Bud Adams making the final decision, and the general manager said they have a long list of potential candidates they planned to trim down by Monday.
Reinfeldt calls prior head-coaching experience a good thing but noted Fisher was defensive coordinator when promoted in 1994.
The Titans insist their only deadline for a new coach is "as long as it takes." The personnel department under Reinfeldt and the 13 assistants under contract for 2011 are handling the preparation for the combine in late February. The new coach will have the option to keep those assistants, or not, if he wishes.

- OR - Select an option belowhttp://www.skiloveland.com While it may not have the acreage or terrain parks that the bigger mountains can boast, Loveland is revered by a strong following. You don't have to walk through a massive, overpriced shopping village to get to the lifts, and parking and shuttle services are free. But while Loveland may not have a fancy reputation, it's definitely a great place to ski and ride: It averages over 400 inches of snowfall per year. More >>
http://www.granbyranch.com/colorado-skiing-snowboarding-ski-resorts.html At SolVista Basin at Granby Ranch, you can enjoy skiing the way it was in the '70s, perhaps even the '60s -- when you could park at the base of the hill, go to your car between runs to grab another sweater or ditch a layer, maybe even eat a sandwich. But while the feel at SolVista is laidback, all of the equipment is thoroughly up-to-date, and you won't be waiting in long lift lines like they did in the '70s. The slopes are all impeccably groomed, and the view from the top of the mountain offers a stunning look at the old ranching community of Granby and the valley beyond. Special bonus: night skiing and tubing on the weekends. More >>

This is Erik Sofge for PopularMechanics.com and we are playing Halo 3. We're gonna show you guys some of the new weapons and new vehicles. Overall, this thing is looking really good so far. So this is the chopper. You can see this thing is-- it's got sort of great handling. It sort of turns on a dime. It's really cool. The graphics, I gotta say, are-- They're polished. I mean, you saw these in a multiplayer campaign, the environments are a lot bigger now obviously. Did I blow myself up? Yeah. That's pretty impressive. All right. So these are a couple of the new guys. Ooh. See? He's got his jetpack.
Here it comes!
But that's one of the cool things about this that I've noticed especially if you compare it to Halo 2. You run out of ammo a lot which is-- that's pretty fun. That's actually-- that's kind of heading back to like the original Halo 1 style where every once in a while, you basically just run back and just scrounge for weapons. Whoa! This is what everybody came here to see. There we go. Now, this is a turret but one of the hot things about Halo 3 is that you can pick up these turrets and move with them. You switch to like a third-person view so it's actually a little bit harder to see what's going on-- Yeah, that's what I get.
Now, check your weapon--
You turn slower, you walk slower, everything's a little slower once you have this thing. But it's a lot of firepower. All right, so I'm gonna do what you should never do in Halo and go in gun blazing against the tank. We haven't played through the whole thing yet, of course, but this thing is looking really good. The controls are tight. The weapons are great. The new weapons even are great and I didn't think they would be, and it's just as easy to pick up and play as ever, and let's see what happens when I punch a tank. Oh. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'll do that. All right, maybe I am supposed to do this. I'm just beating a tank to death.

The hotel designed by the firm of Camprubí i Santacana Arquitectes is an innovative project comprising a central house containing the services and communal areas, plus ten rooms built independently. The hotel, which has borrowed the name of the hermitage, is notable for its close links with the natural world.
The rooms are not classical hotel bedrooms but individual cubes clad with wood, set 100 m from the hotel's central nucleus on a hillside reached via a natural garden of rosemary and thyme. They are called kubes: 36 sq. m of simple, almost minimalist architecture.
Each kube has a large west-facing window and terrace, framing a view exclusively confined to rolling hills shrouded in pine trees, with not a single building in sight.
All the spaces in the central nucleus are flexible, as well as being interconnected to establish a sense of overall unity. Thus, the rest area can be used as a lounge or meeting room, while the reception turns into a bar at night.
The interior design in the Consolación is marked by its sensuality and comfort. Most of the fixed furniture forms part of the architecture. Warm, noble materials such as slate, copper-treated pine, wengue timber and metal sheeting dominate both the bedrooms and the central nucleus.
The Consolación is a small hotel with just twelve rooms. Ten of these are kubes and the other two occupy the first floor of the hermitage's old residence – a baroque building, like the church, although the hermitage is much older (14th century).
The project is rounded off by an outdoor swimming pool overlooking the entire landscape, in a setting of the utmost privacy and peacefulness.

You can't deny that Angry Birds is the biggest franchise going in mobile gaming, racking up hundreds of millions of downloads across its various platforms. It was only a matter of time before developer Rovio's licensing ambitions took it beyond some logical tie-ins (like Dreamworks' 2011 kid flick Rio). On November 8th, the aggravated avians will be going where pretty much every single major franchise has gone before: to the Star Wars universe.
We've been hearing a few rumors about what Samsung had planned for SXSW for a couple of days - supposedly it was some big surprise.

Recent Ph.D. recipients in atomic and molecular physics, geophysics, the solar system, astronomy, astrophysics or cosmology, with interests in theory, observation, instrumentation and/or laboratory research are invited to apply for the CfA Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Postdoctoral Fellowships
The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) have together joined the Pan-STARRS-1 Science Consortium and now invite applications for joint CfA/LCOGT Postdoctoral Fellowships. CfA-LCOGT Fellowships are for four years, with two year spent at the CfA in Cambridge, MA and two years spent at LCOGT near Santa Barbara, CA.
The Clay Research Fellowship is available at the CfA in Cambridge beginning in summer or autumn of each year. Research programs include instrumentation, observation, and theory in atomic and molecular physics, geophysics, the solar system, stars, galaxies, and cosmology. Techniques used range from computer simulations through observations in the radio, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X- and gamma-ray bands, to instrument development and laboratory experiments.
We invite applications for the inaugural cohort of the newly launched Harvard-MIT Postdoctoral Fellowships for Future Faculty Leaders program. We specifically seek individuals whose research will contribute to increasing diversity and inclusion in the fields of physics and astronomy. Contributions include increasing the participation in science research of women and underrepresented minorities through teaching, mentoring, research advising, and public outreach. The program is also targeted toward individuals who can bring unique perspectives to their fields of research, critical insights that result from non-traditional paths to academia, and backgrounds that can contribute to increasing diversity at Harvard and MIT. The Fellowship Appointment is for three years at the sponsoring institution; either Harvard or MIT.
The Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (ITAMP) Postdoctoral Fellowship supports up to two promising scientists each year who have recently received a Ph.D. degree and wish to carry out research theoretical atomic, molecular and optical physics at the Institute. Unlike most postdoctoral appointments, the possible research topics are not constrained by contract or grant requirements. The Fellowship Appointment is for two years with possible renewal for a third year.
Applications are invited for Postdoctoral Research Positions in the Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC) at CfA. One of the primary objectives of the ITC is to integrate conceptual theory with computational modeling; therefore, the Institute is interested in candidates working in any field related to theoretical and/or numerical astrophysics.
Applications are invited for the Submillimeter Array Postdoctoral Fellowships at the CfA. Aimed chiefly at research using the Submillimeter Array (SMA), a pathfinding instrument comprised of eight 6-meter antennas on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, designed for high spatial and spectral resolution investigations at submillimeter wavelengths of a wide range of astrophysical phenomena (including Solar System bodies, protoplanetary disks, star-forming regions, evolved star envelopes, the Galactic Center, nearby galaxies, and ultraluminous galaxies at cosmological distances), these appointments encourage Fellows to propose and participate in science observations with the SMA and provide access to all CfA facilities.

I didn't really look at the pictures in high detail before ordering the dress (or I just forgot by the time it got here!) but the fabric is a really nice waffle thermal fabric. It is going to make the perfect Christmas Eve dress! It is warm enough and very cute.
I really just adore it and can't wait to wear it!
Although it is a teensy bit short (not unmanageable) so take that into consideration!
I got it in black, XL. I am about 5'6 and usually wear a size 8/10 in pants. It fits perfectly!

I absolutely love this sweatshirt! It fits great (I am about 5'7 and wear a size 8/10 and got a large in this!) and bags in all the right places. The outside is super soft and the inside is kind of like a terrycloth or towel like material, so it's perfect for the beach if you need a coverup! That fabric is also very breathable so it works for hot and cool weather. Love it! The color is pretty much as pictured on this site, maybe a tad (the tiniest) bit duller, the picture I uploaded just has a light filter on it :)

Are there wrist gaiters or any kind of cinching device for the wrists?

Reviewed Chicken and Orzo Frittata
Aug 12, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Heeding the warnings that this recipe was bland, I made some changes. Instead of green onions, I caramelized an onion, I also added broccolet that I blanched in chicken stock, then shocked in cold water. I cooked the orzo in the chicken stock that I blanched the broccolet in. I grilled two chicken breasts over charcole to add more flavor. Instead ""

Santos went to be with the Lord November 16, 2012 at the age of 87. He was born to Felipe and Dolores Piña in Eldorado, TX on March 30, 1925. He was the third of three children. He was taught the value of hard work from a young age and experienced many hardships but through determination and the will to succeed he made a better life for himself. On July 7, 1945, he married his beloved wife and had a lasting marriage of 58 years. Together they raised a family of seven children, making Eldorado their home.
Santos labored at various locations and later worked maintenance for the Schleicher County Independent School District for 17 years. He then worked for HG White at Western Auto for 5 years and eventually began self-contracting.Santos was a man of God and with his wife taught his children the same values and beliefs. With his wife at his side he raised his children and cherished them dearly. His love for his family continued with grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
Santos enjoyed being outside and working with his hands. Later on in life he took on the task of gardening several parks in town but his pride and joy was the triangle park on Divide. To keep himself busy he also repaired lawnmowers for local residents. When he didn't have lawn mowers to fix he got creative. He drove his wife crazy with some of his inventions but he never gave up. At one point he put a motor on his three-wheeled bicycle.
Santos is preceded in death by his wife Mary Piña, his parents Felipe and Dolores Piña, his siblings Andres Piña and Bernabe (Nina) Sanchez, nephew Marcie Piña, son-in-law Isaias (John) Esquivel, daughter-in-law Neria Piña, and infant granddaughter Katherine Piña.
Santos is survived by his children Dorothy Linda Esquivel of Ft. Worth, Ernestine (Tina) Torres and husband, Richard of Keller, Santos Piña Jr. and wife Helen of Ft. Worth, Felipe Piña and wife Anna, Billy Joe Piña and wife Rosa, Mary Ann Gonzalez and husband Enrique, all of Eldorado, and Roxanne Adame and husband Rojelio of San Angelo. He is also survived by 21 grandchildren and their spouses, 28 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren, along with several nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers are Santos's grandsons, Isaias P. Esquivel Jr., Richard David Torres, Felipe Lorenzo Piña, Anthony Piña, Alan Cole Piña, Quisto Gonzalez, and Richmond Thomas Adame. Honorary Pallbearers are his "Pretty Boys", Kevan and Korbin Covarrubiaz.
Your mission has been completed; your spirit has been set free. The heavens welcome your exhausted soul and we, who mourn, go forward sharing your guidance and teachings you instilled in each one of us.
The family wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to Anita Jones and all the Schleicher County Nursing Home staff for all their dedication, comfort and support, Dr. David Harvey and assistant Natalie, Dr. Gordy Day, Dr. Jaquelyn Jeffery, and countless friends who showed their love and support.
Funeral services will be at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church burial following at Eldorado Cemetery. Rosary will be Monday, November 19th at 7p.m. at Kerbow Funeral Home.

Fashion and function collide with the iPhone gadget Boostcase, and stars like Emmy Rossum cannot get enough of them.
Boostcase is a fashion meets function gadget that extends the battery life of your iPhone or charges it on the go. A colorful "Snap on Case" offers protection while the hybrid battery slips on and off as needed.
When Ms. Rossum isn't on the set of her hit series "Shameless," the fashionable leggy star is seen everywhere with her new accessory.
The iPhone gets great battery life, but that smartphone in your pocket is constantly on checking email, playing music, GPS functionality, accepting text messages, receiving push notifications, running Skype and more. That all takes up precious charge and the more you pull that iPhone out of your pocket, the more quickly you use your battery up.
Given the realities of smartphone power management, Boostcases new Hybrid Case does away with cumbersome alternatives. Its really two cases in one: a lightweight plastic protective case that can snap onto a beefy battery upgrade pack as needed that can juice your iPhone back up.
The Hybrid Case comes in two parts. The first part is a slim fit snap-on case which fits snugly around your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S.
The company has just rolled out the iPhone 5 version of this case too!
Its a very light weight case, adding only 14 grams onto the iPhones bulk. Its made of a hard plastic that feels great in the hand and comes in a wide array of colors, including red, blue, purple, gold, silver, pink, orange and more. We tested it in red and loved the functionality of it. It works and doubles the life of your phone charge.
Stars also love this gadget, ad along with Emmy Rossum, others including Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez, and Zooey Deschanel have been spotted all over town sporting the latest Boostcase. Emmy Rossum uses the Boostcase Hybrid in Teal.
Find Boostcase at major retails stores including Nordstrom, Fred Segal, Kitson and online.

More than four years ago, I joined a little email debate about what was wrong with the music industry, and went a little crazy. I thought of this five year old debate this evening after a conversation with my teenager who was complaining about the paucity of "good" on the airwaves, and how websites such as pandora were so critical to finding "new" music.
That led me to share that once upon a time, you heard music on the radion that struck you as both new and cool, and you went out and bought it. I played the last two albums that I bought because I heard a track from them on the radio: Lovelife by Lush after hearing "Ladykillers" on WHFS; and Zig-Zaggin Through Ghostland by The Radiators after hearing "Red Dress" on WRNR. We listened through parts of half the cuts on each album, and each has ended up being "borrowed" for a time.
So here is the original rant, now over five years old but remarkable current, edited only for stand-alone coherence.
Back in the salad days of the later 1960s through the early 1980s, several things were very different than they are now.
First and foremost, the music. When I listened to the radio in the backwater of a town that I grew up in (five-six years behind the West Coast and two-three behind New York), there was a variety of compelling fare ON THE SAME STATION. Once upon a time, in the unformatted days of FM, when payola and its progeny were not polluting the air waves, the deejays played what they thought was cool, and spread their enthusiasm to the (primarily under-30) crowd who listened to them. Those of us who traveled heard regional differences in the radio, with the good songs or bands eventually making it national. Check out Clear Channel's testimony before Congress about how many "new" songs it plays every year and how many "new" artists crack its play lists, and you will discover how little music that is in any way new to the listener can be heard on their stations. The other big companies are not as bad, but they're in the same league and the the problem remains the same. What doesn't turn me on, I don't buy. If I don't hear it, it cannot turn me on.
The music industry part one: the recording industry. Why can I buy movie that cost 3 million dollars to make and another 50-100 thousand dollars to master onto DVD for 20 dollars, but have to pay eighteen dollars for a CD that cost maybe two hundred grand to record and virtually nothing to master to CD? I am not the only consumer who wonders this. Why, for example, when the Sony-Phillips patent for the CD expired, did the price not go down by a dollar? (The royalty fee on that patent was about a dollar per CD.)
After radio, the next great avenue of learning new music in my salad days was through the mix tape -- so why is the RIAA so damned determined to prevent me from making a mix CD? And what, of all things, is business doing suing its customers -- some business model, as many have observed. And then there is the matter of the recording belonging to and paying not the artists but the David Geffens and Richard Bransons of the world, which helps perhaps to explain why so many good live bands stay the hell away from the recording demon.
The music industry part two: the music video industry. Music videos are the most expensive form of advertising ever, costing far more to produce in most cases than the entire album from which the track is drawn. This money must then be recouped from CD sales, which helps to explain some of the price problems. Oh, the prophetic power of the Buggles. This is not the problem it was, but still contributes to the overall problem of getting new music out to the potential consumer.
By the time a band has had enough of this crap, many quit the industry or, alternatively, the label gives up on them but still owns the rights to future work. Pick a band whose work you really care for, then think about whether the quality of a first album alone is enough to generate significant back catalogue sales years later. It is not concert promoters alone who are living off dinosaur bands.

Preferred itemsThe following people prefer the corresponding items:
Easy money and woolAt the end of the day you may be out of energy before you're ready to retire for the night. If that's the case, you can still do activities to earn gold without spending RP. Equip the sheers and find the wild Woolies in Piveria Forest. You can press B to sheer them, even though they're wild. Your only reward is a single small fleece, but you can keep sheering Woolies as long as you like for easy money (note that you can turn 3 small fleece items into a yarn ball, which is helpful when you need to obtain practice materials). |
Unlockable TrophiesUnlock the following trophies in the basement of your house by performing the corresponding tasks:
Alternate opening sequenceMarry a girl, then save the game. Load the saved game. The Sharance Tree will be in bloom, a singer will be performing the song, and new scenes will appear during the opening sequence. |
Shipping Vegetables hintWhen you find a higher level of vegetable than you have previously possessed, make sure that you ship at least one vegetable of that level rather than eating it. This is because the level of seeds you can purchase at the local shop depends on the level of seed you have shipped. You'll never be able to purchase more than a level 1 turnip seed, for instance, if you eat every turnip you find at a higher level. The same concept also holds true for seeds you unearth in fields. |

Freezing temperatures, bleak skies, and two inches of fresh snow are sound reasons to evacuate Michigan in early March. That is, unless the coolest remix of the Motor City's greatest hits is in town with its top stowed. Then you slip on your mittens and wait for the plows to pass to see what this crazy-quilt convertible is all about.
The 789 fender badge tells all: a 1957 Chevy's face artfully grafted to a '58 Impala's middle and a '59 Chevy's bat-wing tail. N2A Motors of Santa Ana, California, builds this $135,000 FrankenChevy, although the concept behind it germinated on the opposite coast. Fred Kanter, N2A's chairman, recalls: "Three years ago, my friend George Kerbeck, owner of the Chevy dealership in Atlantic City, had a brainstorm. He was going to have his body shop cut and weld parts from 1957 through '59 Chevrolets to create the ultimate 1950s icon. Those three cars are striking, and this was the only time in history when three successive model year Chevys were each unique designs.
"I asked George for thirty minutes to improve on his inspiration. A quick call to Terrence Robinson at the Kanter Concepts studio [now the home of N2A Motors] produced a sketch returned by fax. Kerbeck deemed our design better than what he had in mind, so we decided to build it. Using Corvette underpinnings was the logical approach, because it's the world's best performance value, and its spaceframe construction fits our needs perfectly."
Two years passed before Kanter's design shop was able to advance the 789 beyond a sketch. Its turn finally came with a coming-out party at last fall's SEMA show. Kanter's crew had peeled the body panels off a new Corvette. After filling voids with plywood, the exterior was plastered with modeling clay. The sculpting, smoothing, digitizing, and mold making consumed fourteen weeks. The resulting show car, which we drove around Detroit's Belle Isle, wears the first carbon-fiber panels used to cast the production molds. The bright trim that sweeps down the sides and along the trailing edges of the bat wings is chrome-plated brass shaped by a CNC milling machine, although production models will use chrome-plated fiberglass moldings. The 789 is about 150 pounds heavier than a stock Corvette, since it's four inches wider and its back end is stretched by eleven inches. Kanter adds stiffer antiroll bars to help control the extra weight.

Hi I got some syriacus seeds, they look like regular hibiscus syriacus seeds except they have little furs around them. Does anyone know what they might grow into? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Isn't that the rose of sharon? It'll probably look something like this if its anything like the one i have. |
Deserai, I have seen fuzzy vs. not on all varieties of Hibs. I do not think you can determine what the type will be by the seed. I have seeds from 'Athena', 'Minerva', 'Aphrodite', 'Blue Satin', and more. I do like Hibiscus Syriacus (Rose of Sharon) as they do very well in my location. Good luck with your new seeds. Ed |

The only fuzzy ones I have are the Confederate Rose Hibiscus. The seeds are tan and the fuzz makes the seed size double. |

Inspired by Magic's forum.
"The pros and cons of being gay"
Well, being the negative bastard I am, let's start with the cons first:
- I can't get married, at least, not yet in this state (at least we don't have a state constitutional amendment banning it, like some states) (this isn't necessarily a part of being gay, I guess, it's just the way others take it. But it still counts)
- I have to be all nervous when I come out to family and friends
- Intolerance from others
- One can't have children
- And probably the worst one, the dramatically reduced dating pool :(
(Psh, and I hear the girls saying "Oh no! All the hot boys are gay!" Well BOO FUCKING HOO, how do you think I feel?)
First, to refute the cons:
- Having a legally recognized marriage doesn't really bother me. I mean, the economic benefits are nice, and I'd hate to have to wait outside the hospital room where a boyfriend is dying because I can't marry him and so am not family.
And marriage is on it's way anyway. Once America leaves the damn stone age, at least. We'll just have to keep fighting, and we'll hopefully get it into federal law or a federal amendment, in which case state laws wouldn't matter, as the constitution is "the supreme law of the land"
- Yeah, I have to be nervous when coming out, which I'm sure causes all of us stress, but hey, it makes us stronger. And also, harder for me to lie for extended periods of time. This kind of "practice" makes it easier to say "I lied" than to cover it up with another lie
- Intolerance, hell, it gives me something to rant about, and it hasn't really affected me in any terribly personal way yet. It's fun to rub their faces in it anyway.
- We can't have children, I guess that's true. There are other options though, and I don't think we need more children crowding up the world anyway. I don't think I ever really wanted children.
-Yeah, to the reduced dating pool, that is sad, and mostly bad. The little bit of good though is when I finally do get a relationship, I'd be able to truly appreciate it and enjoy it for what it is, unlike a girl or something who is never ever single and changes boyfriends by regular intervals. I knew a girl who broke up with a guy after like 6 months "because she felt like it"
And now to the pros:
- It gives me something to have pride in even when I have pride in nothing else. Even if feel tired as shit and just as shitty about everything else, I could always feel passionate and have pride in my sexuality :P
- It just makes me stronger. Because sometimes I think about all the comings out and shit, and I'm like "wow, a straight guy would never have to deal with telling his parents he's gay, I guess"
- I'm sorry, it's just so much hotter
- It's really fun to shove the stupid conservatives' collective face in my flaming rainbow homosexuality
- I just think it's cool cause it's more unique, like maybe 5% of people are gay, everyone else is in the boring, gray, and very heterosexual 95% while we rainbows are over here in the infinitely cooler 5%.
- This is probably just for me, but I'm sorry, boys are just so much hotter. I never understand where straight guys (or lesbians or bi girls or whatever) are coming from. No one else sees this? Jeez, I like get a hug and then I feel major boobage on my chest and suddenly I wanna take a shower. I guess we'll agree to disagree, right? :P
So, being gay has probably made my life harder in a thousand ways, but I don't really realize it because I've been this way as long as I can remember, from my first crush on a guy, even if I didn't realize what it was, in third grade, the same guy that I've been crushing on for years until I think I got largely over him halfway throught this year.
Anyway, it has made my life harder, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Jeez, I can't imagine being straight, I can't imagine how boring that would be.
It's kinda like "Here's old man number 1 with his wife", "Here's old man number 2 with his wife" ... "Here's the much more fabulous number 42 with his husband" And it's like "HELLO YES PLEASE INTERESTING"
Ya know? It's like by the time a guy is 50, it's basically a requirement that he have some average looking old wife with him to raise the children.
That's so boring.
Anyway, after stretching out a tiny bit of already overstretched content way too long, I have to say good night.
Feel free to add things to any part of my list, as I undoubtedly missed something, or you might *ahem* happen to disagree with some certain section or two about it... :P
Goodnight Oasisies!
I totally agree with those last three pros
may the crests of light,love,hope,courage,and kindness shine brightly on a new day.
We free up the ladies so you have more boys available and vice versa =P
For some reason, gay people seem a lot more resilient and open-minded. Possibly because the society we put up with makes us tougher.
Having several trans friends, I have noticed a sad piece of reality- gay people aren't nearly as accepting as you'd expect. For some reason, you often find gay men and women looking with disgust upon the trans community- and of course on other little communities. It just goes to show that what you expect isn't always there.
However, I do agree that gay folk are quite accepting of each other.
* * *
If there is a god, why couldn't he have given me wings?
I don't know a lot of trans people, but I kind of get a sense of that on internet forums, etc. I can't really speak on that, though.
The acceptance was kind of a general blanket statement. What I'm saying is if they were the exact same person except straight, they'd probably be more condescending.
besides the point...
~I don't need no fakes around me, all I want is you to be with me...here I am...~
marriage and intolerance will change eventually, time has a way of changing things (it's inevitable). "We can't have children..." sure you can, adopt a child. What better way to pass on unconditional love for a child?
i'm defiantly with ya, boys are wayyyy hotter no debate about it
the boob hug thing is totally true. when a girl hugs me and i feel her boobs squash against me, its just so like, blehish :P
"A loving man and woman in a committed relationship can marry. Dogs, no matter what their relationship, are not allowed to marry. How should society treat gays and lesbians in committed relationships? As dogs or as humans?"
'Tis the benefit of being bisexual. You get to enjoy the hotness of men and the boobage of women.
* * *
If there is a god, why couldn't he have given me wings?
We'll go in order:
"I can't get married, at least, not yet in this state" - Not a huge deal, especially given your age and the speed of this debate. The odds of you not being able to get married by the time you're 30 seem unlikely, and no one under 30 should get married, so it all works out.
"I have to be all nervous when I come out to family and friends" - You don't have to be, you choose to be. I mean, if you're gay, confident, and sure of yourself, why give anyone a chance to harsh your joy? Tell people like you're sharing the best news ever, and let them have the worried reaction.
"Intolerance from others" - Theoretically, I suppose, but honestly, I get way more anti-vegan stuff in my life. The gay stuff, no one cares about. Of course, more people see me put hummus in my mouth. Anyway, I just started a new job, so at first opportunity, I made some case to out myself in some drama-free way. No one cares, as it should be.
"One can't have children" - Completely untrue. You could jizz into a good friend's (or an anonymous) egg and let it cook in a rent-a-uterus if you want your own kids. You may marry some guy who didn't get his sexuality sorted early enough and have step-kids from "Oopsie" marriage. You can adopt. You can foster. Lots of options here. Also, if your husband has a sister, and she donates an egg, you can be gaymarried with technically your own bio-kids with half of each of your genetic material.
"And probably the worst one, the dramatically reduced dating pool" - Only the largest of whores complain there aren't enough gay guys. There are more than you'll ever need to pick from. This is a total non-issue, unless you plan to live somewhere way off the grid. Stay near urban centers and this is irrelevant.
"It gives me something to have pride in ..." - Well, I'm all for having Pride in overcoming societal and other obstacles, the strides the community is making, etc., but I never took pride just in my sexuality. You seem like you have enough interesting things in your life without needing this to fall back on. But your mileage may vary.
"It just makes me stronger." - I do think sexuality makes you investigate yourself, your beliefs and society in a way that straight people flat out aren't required to. They can, but it is optional. So, completely agreed.
"I'm sorry, it's just so much hotter" - Again, 100% accurate, hehe.
"It's really fun to shove the stupid conservatives' collective face in my flaming rainbow homosexuality" - Well, the generation most against gays is, thankfully, about to die, so aside from right wing pandering, this will all end soon. In fact, there almost seems to be movement to make gay marriage an issue in 2012, in that many Republicans are starting to support it, ahead of Obama. Not sure if this will gain any traction, time will tell. Also, according to most anti-gay people, this is being shoved down their throats, not in their face, which always seems even more gay, but if that's how they want it shoved, fine by me...
"I just think it's cool cause it's more unique, like maybe 5% of people are gay, everyone else is in the boring, gray, and very heterosexual 95% while we rainbows are over here in the infinitely cooler 5%." - As the old saying goes, you didn't choose to be gay. You were chosen.
"Why be given a body if you have to keep it locked up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?" - Katherine Mansfield
Good advice, mostly. But about like the dating pool, this journal was half about in general gay people, but it's also partly about how it affects my life right now.
And so, it makes it so I totally can't get a date right now. If I was desperate and straight, I could have had girlfriends in the double digits by now, considering I pathetically had 4 while trying to avoid them... :P
Well, at least you give me hope for when I'm out of high school and the house, so that's good. But for now, my right arm will continue to get far stronger than my left from more often... usage.
And hey, probably one of the most homophobic people in the GOP, Rick Santorum, is only 53. He could have like 30 more years of gay-bashing. I'll be 45.
But let's hope that most of them are nearly dead :P
You're out at school, no? Seems like someone should come out of the closet to date the hot varsity swimmer... what's with those losers?
You can switch arms. Also, if you sit on your left hand and cut off circulation for a while, it will feel like someone else is doing it.
The Republicans are anti-gay to the extent that it stokes their base, who are mainly elderly. Their anti-gay convictions will disappear when its usefulness to get people to the polls does. Have you tried Googling the word Santorum?
"Why be given a body if you have to keep it locked up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?" - Katherine Mansfield
Sadly, it seems to me that swimming for the most part actually attracts conservatives. It's that whole "hard work is good for the soul" kind of thing, cause it is hard work, and that gives boners to conservatives.
Not as much in high school swimming tho... Damn, I should be like "So, there's 40 of us on this team, which using the 5% trick means 2 of us are gay. I'm accounted for, so, who wants to go make out?"
See, but I'm not sure I could use my left arm. Maybe I'll get back to you on that.
I've been wondering about when Utah will have gay marriage, considering they both have an amendment against it and cities like Provo that are 90% Mormon. Mormons allowed blacks into the priesthood in 1978, which was nearly 10 years after Alabama gave blacks their rights.
So, assuming Mormons are 10 years behind the curve into liberalism, that means Utah won't have legal marriage until 10 years after Alabama has it. That might be a while.
more states have it, there will be lawsuits about it being recognized across borders, which will lead to federal marriage equality. Won't need all 50 states to adopt it, once the wave kicks in...
Well, even some non-swimmer your age should be interested, no? Any cute guys attend the meets for no reason? Don't underestimate the power of a roomful of classmates in Speedos to pull people out of the safety of their closets. Look around. Who doesn't need to be there? ;-)
"Why be given a body if you have to keep it locked up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?" - Katherine Mansfield
That injury a month ago to your favored left hand has obliged you to switch?
Whatever... I think Jeff's suggestion of sitting on your left hand might have some merit :) Try it... report back!
But at your level of proficiency, I'm guessing that such would add little to the experience!
Ahh yes... old Santorum... :P Almost known as the frothy mixture of lube and feces that comes for the aftermath of anal sex... :P
There is no way I will ever take him seirously :P Not with that name :P
I have persoanlly found the hosptial thing to be kind of stupid... :P Personally if I am dieing... or sick... I am going to get out of my hosptial bed and tell the nurses... "Fuck you guys... I am going outside to give my man a hug..." I mean seriously :P That is the stupidest shit ever, plus I have had random people form church, when I was younger, come visit me in the hosptial before so again... never gotten this one... :P
Not sure how exactly you're proving your point by having to crawl out of your deathbed to go outside your hospital room to see your partner...
"Why be given a body if you have to keep it locked up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?" - Katherine Mansfield
No point to prove... it is just what I would do if they wouldn't let him come see me is all... I wasn't proving any points... :P I find the whole silly anyway and why did I have to have a point I don't understand what you mean by that? :S
but if you were incapacitated? or in critical condition, and thus unable to move yourself?
"A loving man and woman in a committed relationship can marry. Dogs, no matter what their relationship, are not allowed to marry. How should society treat gays and lesbians in committed relationships? As dogs or as humans?"

h Senid's Mobile Development, Discovery Platform Wins New Customers
By Paula Bernier, Executive Editor, TMC
Smartphones are big in many major countries around the world, and applications continue to drive their adoption and usage. But only around 15 or 20 percent of mobiles in emerging markets are smartphones. However, that will change over time, says Dinesh Saparamadu. The founder and CEO of h Senid Mobile plans to be there until and when that happens.
The company known as h Senid Mobile is focused on providing carriers in emerging markets around the world with a cloud-based solution that includes a service delivery platform, a service development kit, a simulator of network elements, and application discovery functionality.
The solution, known as Cloud TAP (for cloud-enabled telco application platform), is now in use by such companies as Kenyan wireless service provider Safari COM, Saparamadu tells TMCnet. In fact, for this deployment h Senid is exposing mobile money APIs to enable developers to build mobile money applications.
Saparamadu says that h Senid now has seven customers. These customers include M1 of Singapore, Telcel of Mexico, DST of Brunei, Etisalat, Dialog-Axiata, and Hutch, Airtel (News - Alert) & Mobitel of South Asia and its Research and Business Development offices in Singapore, Malaysia, the U.S., India and Sri-Lanka.
These parts of the world are excellent areas in which to be with a mobile solution, Saparamadu says, given the next billion mobile subscribers will come from emerging markets.
As discussed in a July 19, 2011, TMCnet story, h Senid as part of its solution brings to the table relationships with at least 1,500 developers from around the world, and, if service providers want, some prepackaged applications. Discovery of applications leveraging the platform is supported on feature phones via USSD; IVR is another way of discovering apps.

text: Ok all u pc guru's, put your collective thinking caps on and answer a question for me. Let me see if i can word this correctly....Does pc performace effect how fast internet pages are viewed? Example: pc A is up to date with all the latest technology and pc B is lets say 3 years older. Both have the same modem and use dial up connection. Which pc will offer the fastest internet surfing general speaking? I know all the issue's that can effect internet traffic ie: ancient phone lines, bandwidth hogs, etc just name a few. I guess what i'm asking is: what is the most important consideration when using internet in terms of faster access time ie: how fast a web page loads etc. I'm using a dial up connection my only option as dsl is not offered my area and satellite connection is cost prohibited. Thanks all

Alex Chilton died in New Orleans a few days ago. He was from Memphis, which spreads all the way down to New Orleans for musicians. And we all know that New Orleans is a jealous mistress. So New Orleans it was for LX.
He would have been playing at South by Southwest in Austin this week, but never left New Orleans.
Everyone by now knows He made it big with the Box Tops in the Sixties, and attained godlike cult status with Big Star in the Seventies.
Big Star was not LXs last ride. He went on to play with the legendary Tav Falco Panther Burns. The Panther Burns had a local following in New Orleans, as well abroad. The Panther Burns were the original Punk/Blues Southern Gothic Roots band. They were playing RL Burnside songs, and hanging with Jessie Mae Hemphill when she was virtually unknown outside of Mississippi.
So, it totally figures that Alex Chilton produced The Cramps. The Cramps being the Frankenstein Hillbillies of Punk Rock and naughty stepchild of Southern blues and R&B.
Alex Chilton was an iconoclast and an enigma. As they say "you is what you is, and you ain't what you ain't", and to me Alex Chilton was a bright star, even if he wasn't ever a big star.
So RIP LX, your music will never die.
Below is a reprint of Tav Falco's goodbye to his friend, I found this on Tav Falcos myspace page/ blog:
Tav Falco says it best.
Fallen Comrade
"Let us raise our glasses to a fallen comrade. And ask ourselves did we celebrate this man in life as we do now in death? Ah yes, we embraced our comrade and drew him close to our hearts and minds... as close as he would allow. Sure he touched us literally and he touched us profoundly: as an artist with lyrical intensity, as a person with camaraderie granted and camaraderie rebuffed. Such are the complexities of the artist and of the person. We realize it's not so easy to be friends with an artist, especially a gifted one. His smile often twisted into a leer, even when he was amused by your bonhomie and by your adulation. Be careful of tendencies: OK we've created it; now let's deconstruct it. Godhead on the one hand, destroying angel on the other… Lord help you if you were caught in between. His tones were golden, and he knew that... better than anyone. Was he resentful because he had given so much, and had received less than the key to the temple of abiding good fortune and fame immemorial? Was he content in his rickety 18th cottage on the edge of the French Quarter surrounded by his guitars and aquatints and a cognoscenti of musicians who celebrated him as we do now? Did he draw all that he could take from his talents? Did he quaff draughts of indolence? The answers mean little, and the questions even less. What matters is that those whom he touched, were touched immutably. His legacy is of the mind, of the soul, of earthly pleasure, and of just and lost causes. He left us that redeeming spark of wit and flame to keep us going when were hovering down in the foxhole of doubt and uncertainty and dodging the adverse missives of Lady Luck... comforted in thinking that Alex would have liked that, or he would have appreciated this, or he would have been elated by this or that, or let's do it the way Alex does it. His opinion, his taste, his love is what matters in the end. The last time I saw Alex was in Paris visiting in his posh suite at Hotel George le Cinq. He was pleased with his rooms, and we stayed up late while he merrily tutored me with the unending music lesson that had been on-going since I met him some twenty-five years before... the lesson that never seemed to quite 'take', and which I understood little better than the first time he drilled me. He would say Tav, somebody's got to keep the rhythm. And now I wonder, as the last grain of sand has sped through the hourglass, who... will keep the rhythm? Raise our glasses to console the living for the loss of a comrade fallen in the snow, which in its chill and whiteness is purifying, rather than fallen in the desert, which is barren." Tav Falco

This is the 2013 version of Mrs. Li's.
I did not follow the instructions. I can't drink green tea that way right now, as was evidenced yesterday when I drank the Jingshan green in the method of leaving the leaves in the cup & continuing to add more water. I ended up with an all day gut ache. Today I'm being gentle on myself, & going back to just barely steeping the green leaves in my 'test tube' steeper (which I love, BTW). I used 2.5 Grams of tea & kept the steepings short.
A very pale gold-green liquor that is mildly astringent, very clean, lightly buttery & hinting at cashews. I drank 4 rounds, & that's enough for now. Just not really into green teas right now, which is a bummer because I noticed the June reserve club will be all greens.
