Display teas (or "blooming teas" or "flowering teas") are meant to be enjoyed for the "show" they present while steeping. Depending upon the size and shape, they can be steeped in a wine glass or clear glass teapot. The idea is to watch the tea open/flower/bloom as it steeps.
Generally speaking, display teas are young tea leaves that are bunched and hand-tied or rolled to create distinct shapes. The shapes themselves are interesting even before steeping begins. Once in the water, the leaves unfurl to create a completely different shape. Some display teas are all leaf, but some contain colored flowers that are slowly revealed.
Because display teas take some time to unfurl, and are usually left in the glass or pot while drinking the tea (don't worry - because they are tied together, you won't swallow a clump of tea leaves!), these teas are usually made with specific varietals of tea that will not get bitter.
I always use a display tea in my tea classes because people are so amazed by them! They should be - display teas are unique!

A bill that would make it difficult to form new, community-based clean energy programs such as Marin Clean Energy has advanced to the state Senate's Energy Committee, where it is scheduled for a hearing Monday.
The bill, AB 2145 — introduced by Assemblyman Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, a former public relations executive for Southern California Edison — would dramatically alter the law governing Community Choice Aggregation.
The law, adopted in 2002, allows cities and counties to jointly purchase electricity for constituents within their political boundaries, providing an alternative to the incumbent, investor-owned utility. Initially intended as a means of bringing down electricity rates, the law has been utilized by environmentalists seeking to reduce greenhouse gas production by increasing use of renewable energy sources.
Currently, customers must opt out when a public authority such as Marin Clean Energy is formed in their community; otherwise, they are automatically transferred from the private utility to the new entity. Bradford's AB 2145 would reverse that process, requiring customers to opt in to the new entity if they wish to join.
Levine opposed
"It makes more sense to make sure that consumers know what they're getting into when they sign up for one of these CCAs," said Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles, chairman of the Assembly's Appropriations Committee, who voted for the bill. The bill was approved by the Assembly on a vote of 51-15, with 13 abstentions. Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, was among the dissenters.
Supporters of CCA programs say the opt-out requirement is vital because new public entities need to be able to count on a sizable customer base to secure the financing necessary to get off the ground.
Ed Mainland of Novato, a board member of Sustainable Marin, said, "This is a repeat of Proposition 16. It's a power grab by a monopoly corporation to kill off the competition. And the competition is getting serious because there are more than a dozen communities throughout California that are now in the process of setting up a CCA or considering it."
Proposition 16, which Pacific Gas and Electric Co. bankrolled to the tune of about $46 million, would have required a two-thirds vote of the electorate before a public agency could form a CCA.
Opponents rally
On Thursday, opponents of AB 2145 rallied in front of the downtown Oakland PG&E payment center. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted earlier this month to spend $1.3 million to study the feasibility of creating a CCA in Alameda.
AB 2145 is opposed by a large coalition of local government agencies, environmental groups, civic organizations, and community choice advocacy organizations. Supporters include PG&E, San Diego Gas and Electric Co., the Orange County Taxpayers Association and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1245.
Local 1245 has distributed an email and paid for advertising aimed at garnering support for AB 2145, as well as dispatching a political mailer criticizing Marin Clean Energy's chairman of the board, Damon Connolly, during his bid for county supervisor in June.
Local 1245 has criticized Marin Clean Energy for its use of renewable energy certificates (RECs), tradable commodities that certify that one megawatt-hour of electricity has been generated from an eligible renewable energy resource. Local 1245 argues that purchasing such credits is an ineffective means of stimulating development of new renewable energy production.
But Jess Dervin-Ackerman, conservation program coordinator for the San Francisco Bay Chapter of the Sierra Club, said, "The truth is the utilities use RECs as well. It's just something that is part of our energy market and mix right now. We believe that using RECs does provide a demand for additional renewable energy and helps generate investment in renewables."
Union involvement
Hunter Stern, Local 1245's business representative, could not be reached for comment on Friday. Spokesmen for the Coalition of California Utility Employees and the California Labor Federation, both of which are listed as supporting the bill, also did not return phone calls.
Dawn Weisz, Marin Clean Energy's executive officer, said some unions are opposing AB 2145. For example, Rob Cole, business manager for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 100, issued a statement voicing his local's "strong opposition" to AB 1245, which he calls the "Monopoly Protection Bill."
Weisz said that during the period when Assemblyman Gatto was deciding whether to bring AB 2145 up for a vote before the Appropriations Committee, over a three-day period, he received more than $21,000 in campaign donations from PG&E, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the California State Association of Electrical Workers, and other unions.
Gatto scoffed at the idea that the donations affected his vote. "That's malarkey," he said. "People contribute to lawmakers on both sides of the issue."

And Promises to Keep…
By Carolyn L. Barkley
Are you one of the many genealogists who ushered in the New Year with resolutions to be more organized? How successful have you been in keeping your promise to clean up the piles of papers on the floor, and best of all, organize, label, and use those file folders?
I think I have made a similar resolution every year for many years. This year, now well into my second year of retirement, I am finally making progress and have even looked – not touched yet, but looked – at the piles of papers under the eaves, not just those on my office floor. Having spent several mornings this week weeding through more than a few piles of documents and previous research notes, I am feeling virtuous enough to share some tips for you as you also begin to fulfill your resolutions 2008.
1. Before you file the first piece of paper, develop a clear and easily understandable organizational scheme for your file folders. How you file them should be based on what best supports your research and your work methods. You might choose to file by surname, by generation, by geographical location, or by time period. In addition to labeling the hanging file folder, clear labeling of individual file folders within hanging files will allow you to make adjustments in your filing scheme as your retrieval needs increase or become more sophisticated.
2. Take time for some fun. Visit your local office supply store to see what types of folders and storage systems are available. While at the store invest in a good label maker to produce consistent, readable labels. If you do not need a filing cabinet, or do not have space for one, look for stackable containers that will accommodate your folders and that will fit under your desk or table, on book shelves, or in your closet
3. Set up your new file container and folders based on the organizational scheme you have chosen.
4. Pace yourself over several sessions. In order to keep from being discouraged, set yourself an attainable goal for each "cleanupâ€? session. Tackle one pile at a time and place each document in its appropriate folder. IMPORTANT: Handle each document ONCE. Do NOT separate the pile into separate piles and then even more separate files until you have no more floor space and can't reach the file container. To repeat – pick up the document ONCE. Place it in its appropriate file, adding new file folders and folder labels as necessary. Repeat until you have completed all of the piled up papers and the carpet/chair/desk/table you forgot you owned can be seen again
5. Once you are done, congratulate yourself on a job well done, admire the new sense of spaciousness. Treat yourself to chocolate. BUT…
6. Make a new resolution to prevent the dreaded piles from returning. This resolution will not be as difficult to accomplish as you might think if you employ one strategy in the future. As soon as possible after every research trip, write a research report "for the file.� In the report, set out your research findings, analyze their impact on your project, and set new goals for any future research on this person or topic. Attach to the report all the documents that pertain to the research just completed and immediately file in the appropriate folder. Voila! No piles of stray documents on the floor, no lost documents. Instead you have an easily retrievable report that will provide you with all of the information what you need for future research.
I invite each of you to comment on these tips and to share your successes in keeping the dreaded document pile-ups from taking over your workspace.

Free Forex Signals – Why Technical Analysis Is Better than Fundamental
EURUSD Daily Analysis: And herein lies the problem with fundamental analysis: if the pair rallies back up then "markets shrug off Yellen comments" but if the pair drops then "investors drop EU on interest rate concern." Technical analysis is not 100% either but at least you can set parameters to an uptrend and a downtrend and it is predictive rather than reactive.
Speaking of technical analysis, after breaking our intraweek rising support channel yesterday the pair made a low under 3750 before finding buyers who have in turn pushed the pair back up to 3810 in early morning trading. That support break, combined with a declining strength line on the weekly charts (bearish divergence) has us looking for reasons to sell into the new downtrend today.
Our Preferred Trades*: Short on a rally above 3820 with bearish confirmation (support break, candlestick, etc.), targeting a drop to next major support at 1.3700. As a reminder we close all trades before the weekend.
Yesterday's EURUSD SwingPRO Signal Result: No setups triggered yesterday.
Today's SwingPRO Signal: Short on a support break above 3810 with a TP of 80 and a SL of 50.
*CandlePRO: CandlePRO can be used in conjunction with our daily analysis and "our preferred trades." For example, if we prefer "going short" or "selling a rally" then we would look for bearish candlestick signals after a rally or near resistance levels. Alternative if we prefer "going long" or "buying a dip" then we would look for bullish candlestick signals on price drops or near support levels.

Friedman, Billings Ramsey. They're the FBR in the FBR Open. Every year about this time the topic comes up — a lot.
Even though the investment bank based in the Washington, D.C., area reportedly spent between $25 million and $30 million for the naming rights to the tournament, many people still call the newspaper to find out what the initials mean.
But Bryon Carney, president of the Thunderbirds, the civic group that puts on the event, says there's still plenty of time to learn about the company. FBR is in the third year of its five-year sponsorship of the tournament and both sides say they're happy enough with the deal that it could easily be extended.
"What they've told is is they're very happy and they want continuous relationship for a long time," Carney said. "We're moving down the road with that in mind and we believe they will be our partner for a significant amount of time."
The sponsorship has exceeded the company expectations, said Rick Hendricks, FBR president and chief operating officer. The way the contract was structured, FBR could have opted to terminate the sponsorship, making the tournament only a 3-year hitch. The only stipulation was it would have had to notify the Thunderbirds by July 2005.
"From our standpoint, there was no decision to make," Hendricks said. "The way we're looking at the world today we feel like this is something that has really become a part of FBR. We're thrilled to part of the Phoenix community so we'd like to see it continue."
To increase its visibility in the Valley, FBR opened a sixperson office in Scottsdale after it committed to the sponsorship. But name recognition remains a challenge, particularly to everyday consumers.
"We want everybody in Phoenix to know who we are," Hendricks said. "Clearly though what's most important is the business leaders and those people we would target from a private client standpoint, and I think we're making pretty good headway there."
FBR is only 17 years old, and it competes with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers, brands that have been around a century or so.
Hendricks said the television advertising the firm does during the tournament has helped its presence. He says people generally know FBR is a financial company.
"In the Phoenix community, so many people are at the tournament, they don't see the advertising," he said. "They see the name but they don't see us on TV with ads making it clear we're an investment banking firm."
Friedman, Billings and Ramsey are the the three principals of the company. The biggest part of its $1.1 billion business is raising equity to take companies public.
The companies look for an investment banker to structure the deal and assume some risk for any portion of the offering that goes unsold. The company is one of leading underwriters for IPOs, or initial public offerings, particularly for energy companies.
FBR's strength is to link companies looking for large sums of cash with investors. The company also invests in mortgage-backed securities and provides private client services for high-worth individuals.
The sponsorship has allowed the Thunderbirds to dramatically increase the amount of money it gives charities, Carney said. Of the $40 million the group has raised for charity since the tournament's inception 70 years ago, about $10 million has come since FBR signed on, he said.
The 2004 tournament raised $4.5 million for charity and in 2005 it was upped to $5.8 million. Even more is expected this year, Carney said. The goal is to be the No. 1 charitable giver on the PGA Tour. The FBR Open is second to the EDS Byron Nelson Championship in Dallas.
The deal with FBR allowed the Thunderbirds to improve the quality of a tournament that draws 500,000 people, most of whom purchase advance tickets to the most well-attended tournament on the tour, Carney said.
"When you improve the quality and the value, you can, in some cases, raise the price," he said. "We've been able to raise some prices and still maintain all of our loyal sponsors and that has contributed to greater revenues and greater dollars for charities."

Best motorized sideline device: Later on this afternoon Matt Schaub is starring in the latest Life Alert commercial, and he also has the pole position tomorrow morning in the senior scooter circuit.
Best leisurely game of catch in the backfield: I'd love to embed the video of the Panthers getting creative, and offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski calling a play in which Cam Newton threw across the field to wide receiver Legedu Naanee, then Nanaee threw back to Newton, and Newton ran for 27 yards and nearly scored.
Yes, I'd love to do that, but NFL.com guards its video content like a dictator ruling over his feeble, weak masses, and the Internets failed us in the search for other free visual stimulation. So, please accept my apologies for making you expand energy for a mouse click to view Carolina's game of backfield catch.
Worst injury luck in the history of organized sports: Eric Berry, Jamaal Charles, and Tony Moeaki are long gone for Kansas City, and that was painful enough. Somehow after those injuries they managed to win three games in a row, and still maintain a respectable record despite the constantly booked training room.
Then Matt Cassel went down, prompting GM Scott Pioli to claim Kyle Orton off of waivers. So of course Orton dislocated his finger on his first throw as a Chief after he replaced Tyler Palko today due to his continued crappiness. That, friends, is how you spend $3 million.
Most believable fake Twitter account: At this point, it's about moral victories for Palko. Every completed pass is an accomplishment, as is every safe handoff. Between Palko and Caleb Hanie, the Bears-Chiefs game was often painful when a quarterback was actually asked to execute a forward pass.
So yeah, at some point today Palko's imaginary glass was half filled with imaginary liquid, and he was just proud to be accomplishing anything.
Most depleted team: The Chiefs received the worst injury luck in the history of sports award because of the sheer hilarity of their quarterback situation. But the Texans are making a strong and persistent bid to take over that title, with Brian Cushing going down in the first half of their win over Atlanta today with a knee injury before returning in the third quarter.
That was only a minor scare, and the even scarier minor scare came later when Andre Johnson injured his left hamstring, evening out his anatomical maladies after he recovered from an injury to his right hamstring earlier this year. His latest strain isn't believed to be serious, but you have to wonder what the hell this team did to piss off the karma police.
Matt Schaub, Matt Leinart, and Mario Williams are done for the year, and Houston can barely make it through a week without the threat of another major injury.
Worst calendar neglect: It's now the fourth day of December, meaning Movember was officially over four days ago. But the Broncos are apparently bigger than the calendar, and they won't allow an arbitrary date to control their facial foliage.
Most absurd halftime stat: Christian Ponder is a rookie quarter who's played like a rookie quarterback at times, and at times he's also impressed. So he's done exactly what should realistically be expected of a first-year signal caller, and the Vikings haven't been shy about putting a heavy workload on his arm.
That's been especially true over the last two weeks with Adrian Peterson out, and it reached absurd levels today. At halftime of Minnesota's loss to Denver Ponder was on pace for 59 pass attempts after averaging 28.2 attempts per game this year. Ponder's pace slowed in the second half, but he still established a career and season high with 47 attempts, easily passing his previous high of 34.
Most Tim Tebow halftime stat: Remember that crazy, wicked, and fun Naanee video that I made you click? Well, that pass meant that with the two games at halftime, Tim Tebow only had two more passing yards than Naanee.
That changed quickly in the second half as Tebow parted seas and defenders once again, which shows that yards can often be a poor stat to use while gauging a quarterback. It also shows that there's actually a Tebow clone, with the real god-like figure showing up weekly in the second half.
Most indifferent fan base: On average there are nearly 16,000 empty seats at Sun Life Stadium in Miami for Dolphins home games, which is a reflection of the growing apathy during the Tony Sparano era despite more winning recently.
That number is meaningless, though, unless you can see it. And once you see it, you'll want to look away pretty quickly.
Worst blatant overstatement: Needlessly applying a narrative to a dramatic situation that doesn't need one is the most annoying habit of hack sports broadcasters.
I generally like Brian Billick's work for Fox, and he was the analyst during the latest act of Tebow heroism this afternoon. And I clearly agree with Billick when he implied that winning a road game is a difficult task in the NFL.
But Brian, the legend of Tebow doesn't need your help. Nobody likes overly-dramatized, and statistically incorrect statements, except maybe the legions of casual fans sitting at home who believe every word said by a former coach or player.
Tamest ejection: Raiders defensive lineman Richard Seymour has started to develop a bit of a Dennis Rodman reputation since he one-punched Ben Roethlisberger last year, dropping the Steelers quarterback to the ground and getting ejected immediately.
So maybe that's why the officials today in Miami were so quick with the hook when Seymour slapped Dolphins tackle Richie Incognito. The slap was the kind of tame, aggressive contact seen frequently, especially in a blowout game with frustrations mounting. It was really just an innocent case of 300-pound boys being 300-pound boys, and Seymour became the scapegoat for a set of officials wanting to maintain control of a game that wasn't really a game at all anymore.
The problem is it was Seymour's second ejection in less than a year. He was fined $25,000 for the Big Ben knockdown, and a suspension could be forthcoming now while the Raiders are still trying to cling to their playoff lives, with the Broncos steaming ahead and taking over first in the AFC West.
The officials may have overreacted, but Seymour needs to be aware of his reputation and extract himself from situations that could lead to a quick and overzealous flag. He wasn't, and instead he chose to be selfish, and in doing so he could strip his team of its best interior defender during a crucial Week 14 game.

This is why Disney is fighting to extend the copyright on Mickey Mouse and all things related to him.
To the poster who said that they haven't seen anyone complaining about the use of their pictures, of course you aren't going to, they go after the webmaster. You wouldn't want to see this site shut down now do you? While that is a possibility, Lou would delete said pictures before that happens.

This website has a nice, easy to read explanation of why the idea that if it's on the internet it's fair game is untrue:
The argument about it being public just because it was uploaded is also wrong - art is not public domain just because it's hung in a museum, or found in a library! Just because the medium to view it on is more recent, it doesn't change the rights of the owner.
As the law stands, every piece of work - art, photos, text, email, web pages, music, etc - is protected by copyright law. Viewing it on the internet is NOT the same as downloading it to your computer!Originally Posted by Tampa

OK... OK... (Lou blows referee's whistle and jumps in to the center of the field (ring?))
I've been watching this thread for a while... or should I say, watching it deteriorate. Needless to say, I'm unhappy as to how it has devolved. I'm not taking sides, pointing fingers or apportioning blame. I'm just really sad to see that something like this has taken place, and once again forced me to create a post such as this. This is not what DWT is all about.
So, I want to put this to bed, once and for all, OK? Good.
Here's the deal, and I think it's quite simple. If anyone wishes to use, modify, post, copy or in any other way use an image which has been posted by another member, I simply ask that you obtain that member's permission before reproducing or modifying that image. I'm not going to lecture and/or bore you with a dissertaton on copyright law. Let's just saw that it's good manners. We're all one big happy family here anyway, right? And for what it's worth, I understand and can appreciate sentiments on "both sides" of the issue. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion unnecessarily, and I hope that everyone will forgive, forget and move on. Let's just get back to having some simple fun, huh?
Also, (and this is the part that I despise and really frustrates me), if a member has a personal issue with another member(s), I respectfully request that you take your issues and address them in a private manner. Again, I'm not referring to anyone in particular (as this has happened on other threads in the past as well), but understand how this looks... we take a fun thread and turn it into a personal bunch of silliness. How do you guys think that looks to new or prospective members? Like I said before, it's not what this site is about.
I'm really saddened and upset that I have been forced to addres this in this manner. The members are of paramount importance to me, and I don't like to see anyone unhappy. I don't like having to try and play "peacekeeper", and I doubt anyone else does either.
At this point, I could hope that everyone can let their personal issues go, and if necessary, either address them privately or contact me in the same manner.
Remember, this site is all about having fun. Sure, things may happen from time to time that may displease a member or members, but I guess I have to accept that's all part of having an extended family like ours. But having grown up in a large Italian family, I know what it's like to yell and scream a bit, then five minutes later share some good food and a hug.
OK, so that's where we are. I hope everyone understands my sentiments, and I'm confident that this is all behind us.
Thank you all for your help, understanding and support. Remember - it's all of you who continue to make this site a success.

It took 80 minutes of scoreless regulation, 30 minutes of overtime without a goal, and eight penalty kicks apiece before Phoenix Xavier finally prevailed in the 5A-I state girls soccer championship Friday night at Arizona State's soccer stadium.
The Gators outlasted Phoenix Desert Vista 1-0, winning the match 5-4 on penalty kicks.
"This is a fickle game," Xavier coach Barb Chura said. "They never gave in. They kept fighting and fighting."
Xavier controlled much of the match but was continually turned away by Thunder keeper Hannah Fadenrecht.
Fadenrecht played her counterpart, Xavier's Annie Graham, even through seven rounds of shootout tries, but it was Gator Carmen Abella's dead-on try that won it in the end.
The championship is Xavier's sixth girls soccer crown and first since 2002.

Very good observation, it makes you Wonder.
Was the Wonder going West another Disney Blunder? Disney cancelled four out of five sailings in December, Holiday season for Americans. That had to put a ding in the profit margin of DCL's. At least the unemployed will have the new Fantasy ship to work on shortly.
Did Disney believe Americans would continue to sail the Mexican Riviera with all the drug cartel violence?
The missing Cast Member off the Wonder couldn't help ease Guests fears either.
Where will the new home be for the Wonder? South Florida, but sailing where? Disney has an announcement coming up this week. Maybe this one will have some meat to it.
Some people are like Slinkies.
They aren't really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.
Friends are Gods way of apologizing to us for our families.

What if I choose not to subscribe to anything?
If you're not a full access subscriber, access to certain stories and information will be limited. This is called a "meter," which gives everyone free basic access to billingsgazette.com. You may have heard about "paywalls" that completely lock down access to specific sites, popular sections or specific subjects, but we're not doing that at billingsgazette.com
Some parts of the site, such as homepages and popular sections listing headlines, are always free. Access to classified advertising including auto, real estate and employment remain open to everyone.
Our website meter operates more like a parking meter that gives you the first hour free. For some people, that's enough. But if you want to spend more time, it will cost something. If you're close to using up your free views, the site will warn you in advance. If you use all free views, the site will automatically provide some subscription options, making it easy to sign up.
TIP: If you subscribe to the printed Billings Gazette, even just on Sunday, you can qualify for unlimited online access.
Why would I pay for online access?
The local news and information published on our websites is a valuable product. Much of the news on billingsgazette.com comes exclusively from the newsrooms of the Billings Gazette, which field the largest newsgathering force in the region. That means a lot of the news posted here can't be found anywhere else.
And much of what is published online can't be found in our printed products - live blogs, updating sports scores, galleries of photos, videos, live weather conditions and radar, thousands of event listings, and much more.
By giving you the opportunity to purchase unlimited access to all of this exclusive information, we'll be able to continue to maintain and improve the quality of this coverage and information. The full access subscription remains the best option to receive unlimited access that you want, when and where you want it.
What can I get online that I can't get in the printed newspaper?
Many features are available online:
- Photo galleries
- Videos
- Commenting systems to voice your view or read others' opinions
- Easily searched archives of past articles and entire newspaper editions
- Newsletters and alerts that can be emailed or sent to your phone so you never miss a thing
How do I get billingsgazette.com access on my smartphone or tablet?
Once you've activated your account, you can download and use our apps or websites on mobile devices. To get unlimited access, log in using the same email and password on all digital platforms. Visit http://billingsgazette.com/apps for a full listing of these digital products, along with handy links to download them to your device.
Your subscription login will allow access for up to five digital devices.
TIP: Be sure to check off "remember me" at login so you don't have to enter your information on every visit.
Can I get access to the Billings Gazette newspaper electronically?
Yes. The Billings Gazette publishes a new e-edition that is an exact replica (with the exception of inserts) of the newspaper available for download every morning to your desktop or iPad. This also is included in full access.
The e-edition is a specially formatted electronic version that looks just like the printed newspaper, and it is accessible on a computer web browser, a special iPad app, and other tablet computer web browsers.
I can't get newspaper delivery in my area, and I don't want to pay a subscription for a website. Why don't you offer a basic website for free? That's all I need.
That's actually quite similar to what we're doing. You can view a certain number of any stories on the website for free each month, and some parts of the site are free all the time.
You'll be asked to pay if it turns out that you're a frequent or heavy user of the site. Collecting, producing and delivering exclusive local information around the clock, seven days a week, costs money no matter whether it's published and delivered once a day in print, or every few minutes online. We think it's fair to ask readers who rely heavily on our information to support the effort by paying a modest subscription fee, regardless of whether they get the information from our paper, website, or mobile products.
If you're going to charge for access, why don't you turn off the advertising?
As more advertisers shift from print to online, they expect us to continue to help them reach local residents with their offers, deals and other messages. We'll recognize these shifts from print to online advertising by maintaining and possibly even expanding advertising options that will be more relevant and connected to your interests.
In this fast-changing business, modest digital subscriptions and advertising work together to cover the cost of collecting local news and information, and to produce numerous products around the clock.
I live out of state but have family in your coverage area. Why should I have to pay?
If you're checking our site only once in a while, you probably won't be asked to pay, because we allow limited free visits to the site. But if you rely heavily on us, it seems fair to charge a subscription fee, just as we do for local residents who pay for unlimited access to the website and newspaper.
I only read obituaries. Why should I have to pay?
If you read obituaries every day, it seems fair to ask for a modest subscription fee – just like our daily newspaper subscribers who pay to read these notices. And it's the same fee we ask from folks who look at only one other section of the website, such as entertainment listings, sports, or politics. You're not being singled out.
By the way, if you no longer live in our coverage area, you can get a Billings Gazette e-edition that is an exact replica of the newspaper, including the obituaries. It looks just like the paper on your computer or iPad screen. You can even download and print out the puzzles.

I have a handful of plastic hummingbird feeders both with plastic & with glass tops and I have yet to find one that doesn't LEAK!!! Both the ones with the holes on top of the resevoir (No perch)& those with the feeders on the side of the resevoir both with & without a perch must leak as I fill it & within the day it is empty (no, there are not THAT many patrons to the 'dinner table'!). I have sealed all the areas where the two feeder sections meet so doubt it leaks there but just maybe the leaks come from the feeding holes? OK, they are not fancy $$ feeders but I hate to buy any more $$ or fancy glass ones until I can figure out where
the leaks occur( the bottom always seems dry when I go out & touch it). Also I rarely (or ever!) see more than one hummer at the feeder as if another comes while one is feeding they get into an aerial battle til the intruder is chased away. Is this common? Sure antisocial critters! Fun to see the gymnastics when the finches & sparrows try to take a sip without falling though!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have had leaks in several models where the fluid is higher than the feeder ports. I have never had a leak in a Hummzinger type feeder and I have both Oriole and Hummingbird feeders of that type. |
This one doesn't leak, you can buy this feeder for $5 at Walmart. |
Here is a link that might be useful: First Nature 16 oz Hummingbird Feeder
I have two of the $5 Walmart ones (that Sarlinka posted)and I love them! No leaking here either. In fact one has been dropped three times and still doesn't leak, nor did it break! They are easy to open and clean too. Donna |
i have on of the walmart ones too but a bear pulled the feeder down last week and the bottom is missing now. Also have one of the hummzingers too but the holes or ports are the same color as the base and the birds were not useing it. so i got a couple little crafts bottles of emanel paint and painted flower petals around the holes and they are useing it now. the one most of the birds both orioles and hummingbirds like best are the orange base oriole feeder with orange slice decorations around the holes and the perches of clear plastic. |
bob414: thanks for the info. on that feeder design but am a bit confused about the Humzinger feeders... the resevoir is at the bottom of the feeder- so how do the hummers reach the nectar when the nectar level goes down? Or is the resevoir shallow enough that the hummer's beak can reach the bottom? |
on my hummzinger the resevoir is probably only a little over an inch deep and most hummingbirds bills are an inch 1/2 to 2 inches long. the canter fruit or jelly cup is surrounded by a almost flat surface and the birds stand on it to eat and poop sticks on the lid so i have to wash it off regularly but mostly just take the lid off and spray it with a garden hose but i do take all my feeders down on a rotational basis and soak them in a bucket of water with a little bleach in it. I check the trrift stores or yard sales and pick up extra feeders cheap if i find them and always have a spare one or two on hang. |
i ran out to the back yard and meassured mine just now and the resevoir is 1 1/4 inches deep and holds 2 cups or 16 oz of liquid. you can just lift the lid up and pour more in without taking the feeder down or taking it apart. |
dklucius: Thanks! I had wondered about the depth of that feeder & how often one would have to refill it but 16 oz. should last longer than my 'leaky' ones do & shallow enough for the hummers to suck to the bottom!! I had also wondered which the hummers preferred: drinking while hovering or standing while drinking but if on your's they can rest while snacking it seems to me to be preferable! The ones x WalMart are easy to fill (nothing for the hummers to stand on though) with a wide mouth reservoir but I found it leaked around the rim where the two red plastic sections joined & despite my placing a ring of glue around that ring area it seemed to still ooze a bit. Too, it seemed I could see fluid coming out of the drinking holes on the top ledge.. due to the reservoir being on top? Maybe I just got a couple of defective feeders! I will try to find one of those humzingers here locally & try one! Thanks for everyone's input! |

Don't be too sure that the hummers are not draining your feeder. Ours empty out quickly this time of the year when the hummingbirds are fueling up for the migration south. However I believe that high winds occasionally blow some of the nectar from our feeders as well. It's important to take down your feeders and rinse them out and refill every 3 days, and to soak them in a chlorine bleach solution for 1/2 hour once a week, to prevent mildew. So I wouldn't worry if the level of fluid goes down. Just think of it as a reminder to clean and refill the feeders. |
one litle rufous hummingbird always perches and sits there for minutes at a time sipping till he get his fill. then he lands on a branch above and thinks its his duty to chase off anymore that come around. but most of them eat on the fly hovering. but my orioles and tanagers both prefer to perch or hang and all the birds share the feeders so one ones without perches i either glued or screwed on strips of plastic to make perches on them, i also have a one like yours with a snap on bottom base and it was also seeping between the two pieces. I snapped it apart and coated both lips with super glue and snapped it back together and then painted the seam with an eyebrow brush with another coat of glue and so far has quit seeping. |
i feel your pain but i found this one and it does not link |
Here is a link that might be useful: non leaky hummingbird feeder!
The only hummers I get are Anna's. They have long tongues and I think could easily reach nectar 2" deep. Some day I'm going to get a video clip of one drinking. It's fun watch through the side of the feeder and see the action of their tongue while they are feeding. |
When the hummers use the feeder that the Oriole is on in the picture they hover. I've never seen one sit on it. The Hooded Orioles (also Bullock's) drank the nectar but never the oranges or grape jelly that I put in the depressions made for that on the lid of this feeder. Another thing I like about these feeders is that you can put them in the top shelf of the diswasher to clean them. |

I stopped using plastic long ago and switched to glass. I've read that some of the plastic in the feeders may contain BPA which contaminates the nectar and is harmful to the birds. I have found some really pretty ones on sale at Kohl's and some nice ones online, too. The birds love 'em and so do I. |
Here is a link that might be useful: hummingbird feeders
They are pretty. How do you clean them? |
Males will claim a feeder and chase off others. Their energy requirements are so high, its more efficient to protect a good food source than constantly search for sources. They will also do this with high energy flowers sources, which are mostly in the tropics. They claim an area that produces 2-5 times their needs. There has been research the shows mating success is related to the quality of the food resources the male controls. One year, I had a smart female that would come to the feeder when I was replenishing the other feeders. She wasn't afraid of me, but the male was, so she would get a drink while he was frantic about 5-10 feet away. There is a place in Costa Rica that has about 100 Hummingbird feeders each about 10 feet apart. Each one has a male protector and they spend all day flying in circles protecting it for the others. |
I have two plastic hummingbird feeders; one made by Droll Yankees and one by Audubon. The instructions that came with the Droll Yankees feeder say: "A hummingbird's tongue is roughly twice the length of its beak. It licks the nectar. (Approximately 13 licks per second!) You might see its beak and think that it can't reach the nectar in the bottom of the feeder. Look closely with binoculars to see the tongue." Also, one feeder states a capacity of 10 ounces and the other 12 ounces. Neither amount fills the feeder to the rim so I don't think they are designed to be filled up to the rim. Bottom line, it seems to me, is that you don't need to fill the feeder that full - the hummingbirds will sip the nectar just fine. Claire |
I use hummzingers and have the little caps that keep the bees from draining it but the hummers can still enjoy. How late do we continue to put out food? I live near St. Louis, and I have tried putting out fruit for any birds that would eat it oranges, apples stay till they are leather like. Am I in wrong area for those birds? What birds eat grape jelly and I have heard it it different from our grape jelly. Thanks |
here anyway the orioles and tanagers eat the fruit best oranges and watermelon and apples. But the woodpeckers and grosbeaks do eat some. I use the regular grape jelly from the grocery store both the store brands and welch's jelly. I had several jars of homemade apricot jam in the pantry from last year and tried it and the birds enjoyed it. My orioles and tanagers have already left for the year headed south but the grosbeaks are still here and eat raisens and jelly the hummingbirds here leave out in september when it started frosting at night. I take down my necter feeders by the last of september. I was lucky this spring to have a pair of Lewis's woodpeckers fledge 4 young woodpeckers and they loved the jelly and watermelon and really devored the homemade woodpeker blocks made with sorgum and nuts and rasens and fruit bits. They have left recently but hope to see them in the spring. Our seasons here change earlier because of the higher elevations and mountains so we are probably way ahead of you in cool weather and frosts. which starts the summer birds on their way south. |

The ways in which children learn about Islam from their family is the focal point of a new research project by the University.
Led by Dr Jonathan Scourfield of the School of Social Science, and Dr Sophie Gilliat-Ray of the University's Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK, the project, 'Religious Nurture in Muslim Families', will explore the process by which parents and other family members attempt to teach religious beliefs and practices to children.
The team, which includes researchers Mrs Asma Khan and Mr Sameh Otri of the School, aims to answer a number of questions. These include the practicalities of bringing children up amongst a non-Muslim society, children's own understanding of their religion, and differences between families by religious tradition, ethnic background and social class.
Mrs Khan said: "There is little or no sociological research which focuses on Muslim children in early and middle childhood. Previous research has shown that Muslims are more successful than other religious groups at passing on their religion to their children and we would like to find out why this is."
The researchers are currently recruiting Muslim families from Cardiff to take part in the project. The research will take the form of interviews with parents, children and other family members, and children will be asked, with their parents' permission, to keep diaries and take photographs of important events and places for learning Islam.
Participants will not be identified in any way during the research, and throughout the project, the team will be supported by an advisory group, which includes senior members of Islamic community groups, educational institutions and mosques.
Families interested in taking part in the research should contact the project office on: 02929 875 069 or visit the project website: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/socsi/research/researchprojects/religiousnurture
Religious Nurture in Muslim Families is funded by the AHRC and ESRC under their 'Religion and Society' programme.

If I could pedal a bike while standing sideways on cold powder and warm waves with a vanilla latte in hand at the same time, I would.
Picked up a Hovercraft (not a split) this season and must say, it's becoming my go-to in any condition over 3" of pow and/or crud. In pow, it kills with a nice blend of flex and stiffness where you need it. Holds a traverse line well and absolutely flys when opened up. Turns well in the trees. Super light-weight (running Cartels bindings), playful, fun. Epic board for the quiver. The split version should be similar and I recommend the Karakoram or Spark R&D binding set up. I use the Solution split as my go-to backcountry touring rig.

With 120 miles of coastline, Maui offers over 30 miles of beaches. Many are easily accessible beach parks with lifeguards, picnic facilities and restrooms. Others are undeveloped, pristine, "secret spots" off the beaten path.
All of Maui's beaches feature sparkling crystal-blue waters, tropical tradewinds, and azure skies that go on forever. Most of Maui's beches have white sand but black and red sand beaches are also a part of our island's inventory.
Several of Maui's beaches are known worldwide for unrivaled surfing and windsurfing conditions. Others are well suited for the beginning snorkeler and beachcombers. Others, including the gay beaches at Little Beach and Big Beach, are more private and secluded and are perfect for an afternoon getaway.

POLSON - The faith-based group Journey Be hosts the "Soup's On" program to help feed those in need.
Volunteers are cooking fresh soup four times a week, and the group relies strictly on donations and volunteer efforts.
The program helps feed nearly 800 people a month, including families with small children and the elderly.
One volunteer says people don't just need help in the winter months, but depend on their services all year long.
"Our food pantries don't really have a fluctuation and our Soup's On doesn't really have a fluctuation much either," Soup's On volunteer Susan Evans said. "People are always in need. It's not just a one shot thing here."
Soup's On is open throughout the year and offers soup from Monday through Thursday.
