See Disclosure and Sam Smith Lock Down 'Latch' on 'Fallon'
Smooth singer joins dance duo for 'Late Night' take on 'Settle' standout
Sibling U.K. dance-floor whizzes Disclosure know how to fold pop singers into their tracks without overwhelming their own personality, as last year's fantastic Settle confirms. One of the best and earliest examples is "Latch," which features ascendant London singer-songwriter Sam Smith — who also recently joined them on a track with Daft Punk pal Nile Rodgers — and came out before U.K. top 10 hits "White Noise" (feat. AlunaGeorge) and "You & Me" (feat. Eliza Doolittle).
Following a three-night stand at New York's Terminal 5, Disclosure and Smith brought "Latch" to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night, and the performance was impeccable, with Guy and Howard Lawrence behind their keyboard setups and Smith the black-coated crooner out front, the brothers' signature ghostly-faced projection darting about behind them throughout.
Over the weekend, Disclosure also brought out none other than Mary J. Blige for a Sting-attended rendition of Settle's "F for You" — watch that below. And speaking of guests, Jimmy Fallon himself has booked U2 as the first musical guest when he takes over The Tonight Show.

If you want women to have the same rights as men, the best thing you can do is vote tomorrow. The ERA Education Project focuses on ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment, which simply states that women and men are equal under the law.
"Why is this still even a question? Aren't all people supposed to be equal in the U.S.? Aren't women people? What on earth is going on here?" says Kamala Lopez, founder of the ERA Education Project. She's got a point, especially when women in many other countries have the rights that women in America still don't. Check it out:
Gallup released some statistics about female voting, which Mother Jones compiled into useful charts. Here are some of the statistics that you need to know:
So ladies: please, please, please vote tomorrow. Vote even if you think your vote doesn't matter, because it does. It is more important now than ever before. And if you don't vote, you might end up feeling like the woman in this video...forever.

Love it, great idea.
I wonder if you considered that majority of solo queue players are just ~~uchebags and won't "upvote" anyone. Especially at top elo where people just hate certain people, even if they play good. It means these people will never get any upvotes because at top elo you constantly play with the same people over and over.
I'm honestly interested in seeing how this turns out. I don't intend to participate in the system myself, but it will be interesting to see what results there are. Lyte, are you going to be posting any kind of toxicity statistics (reports, etc.) after the system has been out a while?
Blood and thunder!
A Giant Boulder
This system, at least personally for me so far, has been a lifesaver. My focus in games has shifted from "I must win this game" to "I must gather as much honor as possible". Winning, losing, my focus has shifted to, whichever the outcome, making the game as pleasant as possible for all involved.
I know you've addressed the point about the lack of true incentive (not that a point of honor won't make me feel warm and fuzzy and all..) but I just want to emphasize that the sooner there's a connection between positive behavior and material gain, the sooner you will see behavior improve. As it stands, wishing people will change their behavior in exchange for warm fuzzies is a quixotic exercise in futility. All the same, great step forward, big thank you Lyte, team PB & J, and to Riot generally; I'm really looking forward to more civil rapports in my games!
Renaito Yuujou
Lyte, I got some honor points today and it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside! How's that for incentive?
Riot's a bit late to the party with this one...glad it's in, but honestly it should have come out a LOT sooner. Dota 2's had a "commend" system from the very start, and it's basically the same thing.
Good to see RIOT really stepping things up.

The two firms competing for Scottsdale's ambulance contract have hired politically connected advisers to help their bids, despite pledges to remain above the political fray.
Professional Medical Transport employed John Berry, arguably Scottsdale's most prolific and highest-profile zoning attorney, months ago to educate its officials on the city's political scene, said Patrick Cantelme, the firm's CEO.
Southwest Ambulance asked Dick Bowers, formerly Scottsdale's top administrator, to assist in crafting the firm's emer- gency medical services proposal to the city.
For months, both companies have said they will not engage in the political fighting that has become common for lucrative ambulance contracts.
While neither firm has launched a campaign against the other, the hires could give them a political advantage.
The firms will soon be competing for Chandler's ambulance contract and possibly Tempe's as well. The contracts would dictate which firms will provide the primary ambulance service in each city.
Professional Medical also employs Tempe City Councilman Mark Mitchell as its fulltime community relations and public affairs director, the Tribune reported Monday.
Ambulance company officials argued the hires are not related to politics. Instead, Bowers and Berry were asked to offer insights on Scottsdale that would enhance their proposals.
"If you were in the ambulance industry, wouldn't you go to an attorney that has experience dealing with the elected and administrative officials in the city of Scottsdale?" Cantelme said.
However, Berry said he has no experience dealing with ambulance contracts or even that type of proposal process.
Bowers said his work was to keep Southwest "focused on (the) positive things."
City Manager Jan Dolan said she is prohibiting the ambulance companies from lobbying city employees.
"We have a purchasing procedure that we are going to follow and follow to the 'T,' " Dolan said. "We, as staff, are not going to be influenced by politics."
The two ambulance firms, along with Rural/Metro Corp., are the only ambulance companies permitted by the state to operate in Scottsdale. Southwest is a Rural/Metro subsidiary.
Southwest and Professional Medical submitted their proposals to the city purchasing department a week ago, Dolan said. Those will be reviewed by a committee scheduled to recommend one of the firms to the City Council on Sept. 9.
The council will vote to award the ambulance contract in October.
Neither company would provide information about the value of the city's ambulance contract.
However, the Tribune has calculated that the emergency services provider would likely earn at least $5.8 million a year responding to Scottsdale calls. The contract would cost the city nothing because ambulance companies bill patients directly in Arizona.
Scottsdale, Chandler and Tempe are now served by Southwest, which has dominated the East Valley's emergency response industry.
But in January, Bob Ramsey — considered an ambulance service trailblazer — purchased a controlling share of Professional Medical.
During the past eight months, Ramsey has worked to oust Southwest, which he founded more than 20 years ago.
Ramsey sold Southwest to Rural/Metro in 1998. He served as a Rural/Metro executive for two years before leaving to launch multiple ambulance firms across the western United States.
In 2003, Ramsey was associated with a failed election drive to remove Rural/Metro from Scottsdale. At the same time, one of his companies, Southwest Ambulance of Nevada, was applying to operate here.
Despite that history, Berry said it is unlikely Professional Medical will play politics.
"My advice to them was and continues to be, (the process) should be apolitical and that public safety should not be political," he said.

A bright fire in the sky
Women get raped, some people die
They call it sun, they call life bright
Whilst i am waiting for the night
Kids battle each other with guns and knifes
Just after their start they end their lives
Fascists again gain political power
Whoever voted for them is and idiot or coward
Robots are roaming the street
Working for energy and heat
Whilst being blind, until their graves
They will be just some zombie slaves
I watch it happening every night
I would not say that future's bright
In this world of misery
There is no real nice place to be
Children going insane fast
Drugs, every breath may be their last
Armies fighting global wide
No one cares nor asks them why
This is hell? No! It's here and now
The world, a madhouse, just like every day
People don't realize, might lift a brow
And believe not a word i say

An item from Jon Henley's diary in today's Guardian that merits wider readership: "Bless the Mail on Sunday, which we've only just got around to reading, but hey. The first two missives on its effortlessly readable letters page seem, if we're not mistaken, to be calling for the return of capital punishment as a suitable deterrent to suicide bombers. Are we alone in spotting what some might conceivably call a fatal flaw in this particular proposition?" (Via The Guardian)

Chevrolet Malibu owners have reported 4 problems related to transmission not engage (under the power train category).
The automatic transmission would shift into neutral while at red lights and/or driving without warning. I reported it to my dealer and because the technicians could not replicate or get an error message I was dismissed. Upon dismissal at the dealership the transmission disengaged again. I notified onstar and refused to move the car without a tow. Only then did my dealer begrudgingly replace my transmission, however, they did not bolt it down. Another dealer finished the repair. I have since traded the vehicle, however, considering what is going on with general motors, this is another model that should be investigated.
See all problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu.
The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the park gear does not remain engaged. If parked on a hill, the vehicle would roll down. The dealer replaced the shift lock cable for free. A recall was issued after the repairs were performed. The dealer stated that the vehicle would not have been involved in the recall because of where the vehicle was manufactured. The contact feels that there are more 2009 Malibus with this issue. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The current mileage was 5,543 and failure mileage was 4,400. Updated 062909
updated 07/01/09.

While going between 45 to 65 mph the car feels like it is not shifting or engaging right. I had taking it in to the dealer ship when it was under warranty and they said it was the overdrive engaging and to give it more gas. It has been happening more and more often and now my warranty has expired.
See all problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Malibu.
Vehicle experienced steering and transmission problems. The steering went out, forcing the vehicle to the right side of the road and into an embankment. Consumer had the vehicle towed to a service center. Transmission will not engage into the interlock. If going into reverse and changing into drive it was difficult to control vehicle. Consumer must use about 45 lbs of pressure to get the gear shift to operate smoothly. Also, vehicle was having brake problems. Consumer was driving on an off ramp and applied the brakes down to the floor. Vehicle slowed down but did not stop completely. Consumer contacted the manufacturer and the dealership, who told the consumer that there was a brake recall, and that the brake problem was electrical. The brakes were electronically programmed controlled. Recall campaign; 04v190000. Summary:
some of these passenger vehicles have an electronic control unit (ecu) that may calculate a higher than actual vehicle speed because of an erratic rear-wheel speed sensor signal, and cause abs activation where it is not needed or needed abs activation to be extended during braking as the vehicle speed drops to about 3 mph. The trunk release button on the drivers door came apart. The shifter handle broke. The brake pedal went to the floor after being in traffic.

In Kona, Hawaii, yes, but where exactly?
Before I answer that, let me take you for an entirely pleasant journey of the Kona Coffee District circa 1866. That was the year Samuel Clemens ... sorry, I mean Mark Twain... took a voyage from San Francisco to the islands of Hawaii Nei, and sent back dispatches to the newspaper he worked for, the Sacramento, California Union.
He went to Oahu first, and then took sail toward the Big Island aboard the good schooner Boomerang, along with other 'people of quality' and an assortment of native Hawaiians, whom he calls 'Kanakas'... apparently the term current with haole (haw-oh-lay, a term generally used to denote Europeans) of the islands in the 19th century. They set anchor off the western coast of Hawaii, with both Mauna Loa and Hualalai towering above, putting them about in the middle of the Kona Coffee District, which at the time also was trying to grow oranges. I'll let Mr. Twain continue in his own words...
"By and by we took boat and went ashore at Kailua, designing to ride horseback through the pleasant orange and coffee regions of Kona, and rejoin the vessel at a point some leagues distant. This journey is well worth taking. The trail passes along on high ground - say a thousand feet above sea level - and usually about a mile distant from the ocean, which is always in sight, save that occasionally you find yourself buried in the forest in the midst of a rank tropical vegetation and a dense growth of trees, whose great bows overarch the road and shut out sun and sea and everything, and leave you in a dim, shady tunnel, haunted with invisible signing birds and fragrant with the odor of flowers. It was pleasant to ride occasionally in the warm sun, and feast the eye upon the ever-changing panorama of the forest (Beyond and below us). with its many tints, its softened lights and shadows, its billowy undulations sweeping gently down from the mountain to the sea. It was pleasant also, at intervals, to leave the sultry sun and pass into the cool, green depths of this forest and indulge in sentimental reflections under the inspiration of its brooding twilight and its whispering foliage."
The oranges are gone now. This is prime coffee territory, and as people eventually found out, not particularly good for oranges. Mark Twain mentions that one orchard had been replanted seventeen times. Coffee will grow wild here, if you let it. As for the rest, he has perfectly captured the feeling that persists even today. Kona Coffee Country is dreamy, still waiting in some temporal backwater to catch up with the rest of the present. Myself, I hope it stays that way forever.
Gently segueing into the present, take a glance at the map of Hawaii, with the Kona Coffee district marked by a shaded area on the left side of the island, bordering the volcanoes Hualalai and Mauna Loa.
Actual, real Kona Coffee comes only from this legally delimited strip in the districts of Kona and South Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, averaging a mile wide and roughly 30 miles long. The Kona Coffee Council accepts applications from farms in this area. After investigation of their claim, if their location is determined to be correctly within the defined geography, the applicant is certified as a Kona Coffee farm. They can then display a seal on their bags of coffee from that farm declaring them to be 100% Kona Coffee.
Everything else is not real Kona Coffee. Coffee grown south of the district... nope. Same with the north. Why? Because the microclimates of this island are very specific. Often it rains in an area on the highway six blocks mauka (m'ow-caw, toward the mountain) from my house, and my property will not get a drop. Dry as a bone. Different species of native plants growing in that upslope spot without any tending, would have a very difficult time at my place.
The strip that is the Kona Coffee District has significantly different weather from the rest of the island, and produces coffee that is simply different from any other area in Hawaii, or indeed, the rest of the world. Different amount of sun. Different amount of rain. Very different temperatures. And the soil from the volcanic activity is of a different age and consistency.
All these things make real Kona Coffee unique.
So pull up a chair on the lanai, imagine you have bushy-headed, rascally old Mark Twain in a white linen suit siting next to you, drinking a cup of Kona coffee and telling you about the sunset he saw from Haleakala, the great volcanic mountain of Maui, looking toward the Big Island of Hawaii...
"A growing warmth suffused the horizon, and soon the sun emerged and looked out over the cloud-waste, flinging bars of ruddy light across it; staining its folds and billow-caps with blushes, purpling the shaded troughs between, and glorifying the massy vapor-palaces and cathedrals with a wasteful splendor of all blendings and combinations of rich coloring.
It was the sublimest spectacle I ever witnessed, and I think the memory of it will remain with me always."

We had this couple who came in last week. And I asked, how is your trip to Hawaii going. They said, oh, it's okay, you know. So I asked them, what does that mean, okay?
And they said, oh, it's been raining most of the time we've been here and it's ... and I said, terrible, huh?... and they said, yeah, pretty terrible. Of course I'd been seeing it raining, and so I understood where they were coming from. So I said I wished it hadn't been that way for them, because Kona is usually beautiful. Sunny, warm. Beautiful. And I asked them if they were thinking they might come back again some day, and they said they had been thinking about that.
Then I asked, what do you think about the people here in Hawaii. And they brightened, and said, oh, yeah, the people were really nice. So, even though it rained all the time, we still have a good feeling about being here.
That made me feel for them, and I wondered what I could do to make these guys' trip here memorable and a little more interesting. So I decided to spend some more time with them. I had a lot on my plate, but I wanted them to feel a little better about their vacation in Hawaii.
I asked them where they were from, and they told me Washington D.C. I said, oh, my dad was from the eastern part of the country. Wilksbury, Pennsylvania. A coal mining town. That spurred their interest, and they asked me how I got here on the Big Island of Hawaii. So I told them about growing up on the windward side of Oahu, and that my family had a business there, and some of the neat things about growing up there.
And after a while, she said, you know, you guys here have this really nice spirit about you. The same with most of the people we've come across who were born and grew up here in Hawaii. Were you raised like that? Did people teach you how to be that way?
I was a little surprised at that, and said that everybody grows up having moms and dads who teach their kids hospitality and all that.
And she said... no, not really.
Well, I said, I grew up with a grandmother (on my Mom's side) who had a bar, and everybody who came in was family. And I started telling them a story. I asked if they had somewhere they had to go, and they said, no, no, go ahead.
So I told them, my grandmother had this very loving spirit, and she used to worry about people after they'd drink at her family's bar. So she bought this beat-up van. Actually an old, used military bus. She parked it in the back of the bar, in the parking lot back there, and she put bunk beds in it. Made it comfortable. And so when the service guys came and drank... the military base was not that far away, maybe five, six miles... she'd call their commanding officer and say, you know, I've got your guys here, and they're going to be sleeping tonight in the bus.
Kinda funny part of this is, that's how my mother, who worked at the bar with my grandmother, met my father. My mom was a waitress in the bar, and the moment she saw this one particular Marine, she fell in love with him. Love at first sight. Later on that night, he was one of those guys my grandmother wouldn't let go back on the base in their 'condition', so she made him spend the night in the bus. The next morning, my mom knew he was there, so she made this local favorite where you take all your leftovers... chicken, and barbecued meat, and white rice, and mix it up with soy sauce, and eggs and green onions and fried rice. Actually, she was in the habit of making some of his buddies fried rice with a fried egg on top in the morning when they woke up. But this was a little special.
Actually, my grandmother always made sure people had something to eat while they were drinking. That's what they call pu-pu's (poo-poos). And my mother picked up that sense of caring for people. We kids of my mother and ex-Marine father, growing up around Honey's Bar, we saw that hospitality, that Aloha spirit, all the time. So did my mother's brother, my Uncle Don ... who, I told the couple I was telling this story to, is Don Ho. And they said, oh, yeah, of course we know who Don Ho is. And I said, yeah, that's my uncle. He made that hospitality thing we all learned about into a singing career. It was more than his singing that made him so widely known and liked. It was the real Aloha spirit he had for everyone.
He was raised the same way I was raised. Which means when he was a kid, he had to get up and clean Honey's Bar in the morning before he went to school. Just like I did when I was a kid. Actually I didn't find out that he'd had to do that too, until years later when I'd grown up. Anyway, we all had to help out at Honey's, and so we grew up with a feeling that everyone was family and that whole spirit of Aloha. We wanted to make people feel comfortable, because that's what my grandmother did, and what my mom learned and passed down to us kids. So today, in business, I try to have that same kind of thing here at Kona Mountain Coffee. A lot of us who work here had similar experiences growing up, learning Aloha in one set of circumstances or another, so it's a way of life for us. Of course we all have everyday problems and stuff, and lose it from time to time. But we always go back to our roots.
So the couple I was talking with were obviously feeling much better by now, and they started to ask questions about the Coffee Club and things like that. I felt good. I had felt a sort of obligation to make their trip a little better somehow, to make contact in some sort of way. Now we'll probably email each other and keep in touch. I think that's the sort of thing that makes a difference in this crazy world.
You want to make people feel like its more than just them coming in and buying coffee. Maybe you can't do that with every single person that walks through the doors. But there are times where you feel you really have to make that extra effort, go that extra mile. Hopefully our conversation was a little bright spot in that couple's vacation, and they'll remember their trip to Hawaii fondly because of that half hour or so we spent together. Mark does that with people. Mary does it. We all do it, as much as we can.
I guess that's the Love of Aloha.

Caffeine and coffee. There are so many misconceptions. The one I run into the most often is about the roast of a coffee. In the previous bog I talked about taste versus strength, so you know that it is the amount of coffee used to brew it which is the real determining factor for the strength of a cup of coffee, rather than how it's roasted.
But the roast has a tremendous effect on the amount of caffeine that is going to end up in a cup.
Most people think that because the darker the roast, the deeper the taste, there is more caffeine in a darker roast. Actually, it's just the opposite. The longer you roast coffee, the less caffeine it has. The heat of the roasting process breaks down caffeine while it's still in the bean. So whole bean or ground, a medium roast has the most caffeine, a dark roast has less, and a french roast has the least of all!
The other determining factor in the amount of caffeine a coffee has is the variety of coffee bean that it comes from.
There are several species of coffee that's grown commercially. On the Big Island, where most of the Hawaiian coffee is grown, we have a number of different Catuais, as well as Liberica. And then there is the rough Robusta, which has the largest beans and the highest amount of caffeine. But we chose to grow Arabica Typica, which is the most popular and best liked coffee variety throughout the world.
Most people enjoy the milder taste of Arabica much more than the harsh flavors of the Robusta. Granted, Arabica is more difficult to grow. It takes just the right climate and a lot of care to produce a crop. But Hawaii, especially the Kona Coffee District, has exactly the right climate, and we think it's worth the extra work to grow America's finest coffee. As you may know, the only coffee produced in America is grown right here in Hawaii. And from the awards we've won, year after year, we have some reason to believe that ours is the most consistent premium coffee that Hawaii produces, even though the amounts we put on sale each year are very limited.
Arabica has about 1 to 1.5 percent caffeine, as opposed to 3.2 to 3.5 percent for Robusta. The percentages are averages, because the exact amount of caffeine in a coffee bean depends on where the tree is growing. Kona Mountain coffee falls into about the 1.5 percent caffeine range, which is near the top of the amount that can be in a Arabica coffee. Still, for those who drink coffee just for the 'jolt'... well, Kona Mountain is not for that. It's a sipping coffee with beautiful textures and flavors, meant to be savored on a lanai, thinking about a Kona golden sunset.
Of course, if you want a little extra caffeine, just make your coffee a little stronger. And what I mean by that is to use more coffee-to-water when you brew it. I use two-thirds of a cup of ground coffee to 50 ounces of water. No reason why a person could not use more, if you want really strong coffee and a lot of caffeine.
But to me, Kona coffee is all about taste. It is a premium coffee, with a premium price. Robusta is more for the lower grades of coffee found in the supermarket. Arabica gives you both mildness and a depth of enjoyment you just can't get with the other varieties. If you want a little more caffeine in your coffee, but still want superior taste, go with a lighter roast of an Arabica from Kona, and you have the best of both worlds.
If, however, you want the minimum amount of caffeine in a really premium cup of coffee, you probably want a 'peaberry' coffee. More on peaberry later, but since we're on the subject of caffeine, let me say that peaberry coffee has the least of any coffee unless it is artificially decaffeinated. A french roast peaberry might be the perfect cup to have before bedtime if caffeine is bothersome, but you love coffee.

You know, it's fairly easy to feel all 'aloha' and 'how are you today!' and cheery at the beginning of a fresh work week. But maybe not as easy on Friday. You're tired, and life is... well, how life is. And here in front of you is another person from the mainland who has absolutely no idea what Kona Coffee is, and they're uncomfortable being in a strange place for the first time, and they need a little TLC, a little warm aloha to make their day brighten up. And you're simply... tired.
But you don't want to fake it. That's just ... you don't want to do that. You want to actually feel Aloha, and share what's actually inside of you with other people. You have to have real Aloha inside, and be able to express it to people. That's the major reason we're here, after all. Sure, there's selling the coffee. But really and truly, our life here is all about the Aloha.
And so I share all the great comments we get with all the other people I work with here. Every day... and I mean every day! ... whether it's in the store, verbally... or email, or on the phone... there's someone telling me how good they feel about our coffee.
I just realized... this is a great place to ask you how we're doing.
If you have ever been to Kona Mountain, the store or the farm or the website, PLEASE feel welcome to email me. I will love hearing from you, because good or bad, your input will help us be what we're supposed to be.
And if you just want to know something about Kona, or Hawaii, well, you can give me a try. If I know the answer, I'll tell you.
Back to the subject at hand... we do need to hear the negative, too. Because everyone makes mistakes, and so we will make mistakes now and then. We definitely need to know about them. How else can we improve? So, although difficult to do, I welcome hearing about anything we need to correct. Don't hesitate to tell me about it.
Don't hold back on the positive comments, either! Sharing with us what we've done right, that helps us walk taller, you know? It reminds us that what we're doing is what we love. Your comments can help us show to other people that 'Love of Aloha' that's emblazoned on our label, and really mean it. In a way, it's a difficult thing to do every day, day after day. On the other hand, it isn't as hard as it seems. We seem to manage to do it pretty well. At least that's what people tell me.
I suppose part of it is that I keep reminding myself, and the people I work with, that it's easier to smile. And a smile will last forever. So if things start to get me down, I say to myself, "God, today is gorgeous! Look at that sun! Look at that ocean!" And my feelings about whatever problem is happening, those feelings start to change, and the problem becomes just another part of the day that I can handle. With Aloha.
In this day and age, that sort of thinking may seem simple minded to some. Bubble-headed and insincere. And I suppose it could be. But it isn't, not where I am. It's my way of expressing that high goal, that Love of Aloha I learned from my parents, and their parents. Maybe it's a little more difficult to allow yourself to be open and friendly and ready to meet people where they're coming from. On the other side, maybe it's hard for people to believe the difference between a fake commercial greeting at a store ... where they're actually being checked for shoplifting... and being greeted with sincere Hawaiian Aloha that is really, actually, warm and welcoming.
Or maybe not. Maybe true Aloha cuts through the fog of commercialism and touches something deeper. That's what I hope. That's how I live.
I'm havin' a great time doin' it!!!
Have a great Aloha day!

Sometimes people come up and say, I want your strongest coffee.
Actually, I have to chuckle a little bit. Because there is a very wide misconception about what makes coffee 'strong'. People sometimes request that I make them an especially dark roast to give their coffee a really 'strong' taste. Or they'll say, your dark roast is too strong, or even, your medium roast is too strong. Can't you give me a lighter roast? And then they might ask what roast we're 'really' using, because it tastes so much 'stronger' ... or 'lighter'... than when they make it at home.
That should give you the hint right there. It isn't the roast. The roast has to do with flavor and nuances. It can bring out the best in a good coffee, or the worst in a bad coffee. Smoothness or bitterness. Light fruity tones. Rich deep tones from the soil it was grown in. Terrible off-tastes. Roasting, done correctly, can intensify the inherent quality of the natural coffee bean. That's why Kona coffee is known for it's nice, rich taste.
A dark roast may give a coffee a 'toastier' taste, and you may perceive more body to it. But the 'strength' of a cup of coffee, that's simply the way you make it. More coffee per measure of water... stronger. Less coffee per measure of water... lighter. It's that simple, and always true.
And let me say that to make a really good cup of coffee, you not only have to start out with excellent coffee, you also have to use excellent water. If your tap water is chlorinated, you'll get chlorinated tasting coffee. No way around it. If, on the other hand, you use a good-tasting bottled water, then you're going to be able to allow the true flavors of the coffee to come through. And if you ask me isn't it a waste to use bottled water for coffee, I have to ask isn't it more of a waste of good coffee to brew it with water that has some off-tastes in it to start off with? They won't go away. They will just make your coffee taste off. So if you're using premium, 100% Kona Coffee, which comes at a pretty dear price, shouldn't you spend just a little more and use the finest water you can get, too? Of course it's up to you, but when I make coffee for people to taste, you know what I use.
Now for the secret part.
I use 2 ounces, roughly two-thirds of a cup, of either medium roast or dark roast ground coffee. 50 ounces of water, enough for 10 cups at 5 ounces each, which is what a standard Mr. Coffee uses. Follow the directions on your brewer.
That's it.
That's how most people like the strength of their coffee, and I've served more people more coffee than I can even guess. I like pleasing them. This is how to do it. Now you can be sure you're going to please your guests with the coffee you serve them. Or perhaps more importantly, the coffee you make to enjoy yourself!
Hana hou! Mark

Demi Lovato Ditches Twitter After Getting Into 'Trouble'
They say sharing is caring, but Demi Lovato seems to think she's sharing too much lately. The "Skyscraper" singer tweeted on Saturday:
"Twitter break. It's for the best actually. Who allows me to have this thing anyways?!!! I just get myself in trouble! Haha. Anyway... BYE!"The tweet came following a short message that read: "Can't please everyone."
This announcement also comes after it was reported that Demi split from her boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama. The former Disney star, 19, fueled these rumors with a series of tweets. The People's Choice Awards performer wrote earlier this month:
"The smartest thing a woman can ever learn, is to never need a man."Another cryptic tweet was a quote by Marilyn Monroe that read:
"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."Do you think Demi needed to take a break from Twitter, or should she just regulate her tweets better? Sound off in the comments!

This is one of the greatest DOW mods out! Chaos daemons was a nice addition to the races. I have 3.5 installed, just one question. How do I get the Deathwatch veterans?
Play as an Imperial army (eg. Sisters of Battle) and select Ordo Xenos as your allies :)
>> All of my units are displaying as pink squares why is this
This is because you don't read or don't understand what is written in "description" above
both codex base folders have same codex_base folders, what do i do? replace part 1 codex_base folder with part 2 codex_base folder?
They combine. Sort of the point really.....
for some reasen infantry only dosent work for me. the popcap is 0 for both infantry and tanks. any ideas?
Re-download and re-install is all I can suggest.
Extract it to your SS directory along with parts 1 and 2.
Там вроде в релизе Ultimate Apocalypse несколько новых моделек для сестер, темных эльдар (и некронов) добавили, сюда не планируют перенести? А то этот мод больше подходит, но хотелось бы иметь приблизительно равное количество юнитов для каждой из рас.
Hey boys same one know where to play online his?
Just try the regular DoW multiplayer, I'm not sure how many are usually online at one time, though.
am having a lot of trouble installing the different parts. the first part goes well but when i try the second part and third part it asks if i want to merge folders or copy and replace folders. so what do i do? do i merge or copy and replace? if somebody could make me a step by step tutorial that would be nice.
and another question which patch of soulstorm do i need to play this great mod do i need retail version of game or patched?thanks in advance
Ive downloaded it and extracted it to my soulstorm directory but i have an issue, almost all races show up and some of the files are said to be broken or doesnt exist... and some of the models come out pink or just a pink box that says bad model check log... what should i do?
This doesn't have much of a description but is this better then the Ultimate Apocalypse mod which seems awesome?? If not what makes this one better?
@cobra33, click 'Yes' to merging/replacing all files.
@HECTOR82, delete all Codex files and folders in the SS directory, redownload and reinstall. It sounds like you have a corrupt download.
@devmangekyou, it is a matter of opinion. All I can suggest is try both mods out and see for yourself. However, if you like lots of races, this mod is definitely for you.
@Guest. Thanks for the bug report, we'll try and fix it for the next version.

The Price of Dying"I want to be interred after I die," Mr. Peters said. He made that clear to his family while he was still lucid, before old age and illness rendered him unintelligible. Seventy wasn't that old, but he recognized the symptoms that were creeping up on his ailing body – the aches, the fatigue, the feeling of helplessness and despair. Despite his daughter's attempts to assuage his concerns, he sensed his own mortality.The worst part about dying, Mr. Peters thought, was what happened afterwards. Even since he was a small boy, he had been afraid of fire. He could never forget the scorching heat of the orange flames searing his skin, the dark billowing smoke entering his nostrils. The time that his house burned down, the fire almost took him with it. How ironic then, to escape the fire only to be fed into it after death.So one day, he sat his son and daughter down after dinner. "I want to be buried whole," he said, emphasizing the
Mono.One morning a black pillar appeared in the center of town, within the boundaries of the park and right outside of the library. It stood at least thirteen feet tall and was as wide as a mature oak. They deduced it was made out of some kind of polished stone. Some guessed it was obsidian; others argued it was too strong to be such a fragile stone. It could have been granite, but when was the last time you saw black granite in that quantity, and in that shape?"We should knock it down and drag it away!" someone shouted.But they were too afraid to touch it."Why not just leave it here?" another suggested.But they wondered what would happen if they didn't do anything at all.Whoever put it there didn't do it alone. They'd need a truck to transport the thing, and they'd need some way to get it off the flatbed and stand it up straight. But why go to all of that trouble for a pillar of rock? Or was it part of someth

My first batch of traditional mead has been in the primary for under a month, but my SG is at 1.000, OG was 1.115. Should I rack to a secondary or keep letting it go in the primary for another month?
I would rack it to secondary and bulk age for a long time....
+1 rack and age That was a fast ferment, so the alcohol could be hot and take a year or more to mellow. It will probably drop a few more points in secondary, and you can rack again later to clear it. What yeast?
Lalvin 71b-1122. Used half a pouch for 1 gallon
Oh, that's plenty of yeast for such a small batch so you might not have to wait a full year or rack to tertiary, but definitely rack off all that extra yeast. Then taste it once it falls clear (or clear enough).
Seems like a good time to rack to the secondary for 4-5 more months...
Yeah, I can already tell the yeast falling out of suspension and clearing out. The must definitely tastes good, but I can taste that 15% abv. I planned on aging this stuff for 8 months before cracking some open... if I can be patient enough.
Is there any disadvantage to leaving in the primary the entire fermentation, like described in JAOM?
From what I remember hearing, it's yeast based. Some yeasties like to be left on the fallout, others develop off flavors sitting on the dead yeast. But I can't remember where I heard it.
Leaving it on the lees for an extended period can absolutely impart some flavor the the final product, particularly if/when the yeast being to undergo autolysis. Whether or not this is good depends somewhat on the yeast and somewhat on your tastes. Real champagne must be aged for a minimum time on the lees and part of its unique character comes from yeast autolysis byproducts. The yeast you used isn't described as a champagne yeast, however. I wouldn't try it, but you never know There's a link to a PDF in the mead forum sticky relating to autolysis.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f30/stic...ng-faqs-83030/

They're annuals for both of us (I'm technically zone 7A) and they hate temperatures under 25 degrees. I do read reports of S. farinacea surviving easy winters, or with plenty of mulch, but it's never happened to me even in my warmer southern face garden. Some people overwinter by lifting, drying a bit, and storing, but I've never tried that. I collect seed from mine (I already started this year) and start them indoors under lights in March. You can also dig up a plant, or plants, pot them, and put them at a sunny windowsill for the winter. Growth and blooming are spotty, but they'll survive and can be transplanted back into the garden once frost is past next spring. On the up side, a few volunteers are possible in many of our gardens--several salvia, both S. splendens and S. farinacea, sprouted randomly in my garden. |
S coccinea also reseeds well and puts on a good show in the late summer/fall. Darn, I wish more salvias were hardy to zone 6. |
- Posted by morpheuspa 7A--PA (My Page) on Fri, Aug 15, 14 at 13:54
>>Darn, I wish more salvias were hardy to zone 6. I hear you on that one! I start a full flat of S. splendens (scarlet) and another one of S. farinacea (Rhea, blue) every year. It would be nice to park 'em and forget about 'em. :-) I attached the link to my blog, the second post down has my August garden photos. The red salvia is unbelievably dominant again this year and I love it! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Photos
Yes, your red spikes are the eye catcher in every shot. |
Some of the 6 year old farinacea survived temperatures to zero last winter some didn't. Mine grow in a very dry area which probably helps in their survival |

Arizona Cardinals
Insider: Arizona Cardinals to part ways with Ken Whisenhunt
Add CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora to the list of media members reporting that Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt will be a casualty of the NFL's most dreaded day of the year, "Black Monday."
After surveying with execs, team sources and agents, there is a strong expectation that Andy Reid (Eagles), Norv Turner (Chargers), Romeo Crennel (Chiefs), Pat Shurmur (Browns), Ken Whisenhunt (Cardinals) and Mike Mularkey (Jacksonville) will be out shortly after the season ends.
Of that group, La Canfora went on to speculate that Whisenhunt is not one of four coaches certain to go after Sunday's final day of regular season games, but it still doesn't look good for Arizona's sixth-year head coach.
In six seasons, Whisenhunt has led the Cardinals to two postseason appearances, including a Super Bowl berth during the 2008 season. However, regardless of how Sunday's game at San Francisco turns out, Arizona will have missed the postseason for three consecutive seasons.
Although Whisenhunt is just 45-50 in 95 career games with the Cardinals, La Canfora said it's likely he would get a few interviews around the league for head coaching vacancies.
CBS' NFL Insider didn't stop at Whisenhunt, though. La Canfora also reported that the team is mulling over where or not to fire general manager Rod Graves, but if they do his replacement will likely come internally.
Graves has been with the Cardinals since 1997 and helped the team reach unparalleled heights with a recent Super Bowl appearance. The Bidwell family has long appreciated his work but assistant general manager Steve Keim is also seen as a rising star. He was promoted last year, and sources said he is being considered for the general managers title there.
