Tips & Tricks
Migrating between iOS devices
As our iOS devices become more and more powerful, they also end up holding more and more of our information — making it an even bigger pain to move from one to another. Thankfully, there's a super simple way to make sure your newest device has all the info from your old one. As long as you've backed up prior your device to iTunes and your new device is running the same or later version of iOS, you simply plug in your new iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad into your main computer, select your prior device's backup, and hit restore from backup—after it's done syncing, you should have all the same preferences, settings, apps, and media as you had on your old device without needing to do a thing. For more information on migrating between iOS devices, see our August 26 Ask iLounge article.
Charging your iOS devices on a Mac or PC
While Apple's pack-in chargers for the iPhone and iPad provide just the right amount of power for each device, charging iOS devices on desktops and laptops can be more of a crapshoot. Luckily, it's not too hard to take control of the situation and ensure that your device is getting the juice it needs. If you're having problems charging or upgrading your device on a PC, you'll want to make sure it's plugged in to a port on the machine—not a hub—and try to unplug any other unnecessary USB devices while you're at it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, users of Apple's Mac computers have things a little easier.
On Macs newer than 2007, all your USB ports should supply at least 1100 mA of charging power to any device—such as an iPhone or iPad—that needs it. The extra power is doled out on a first come, first served basis, so the first device you plug in is virtually guaranteed to receive the maximum amount of power, while later devices are less likely. If you have a Mac that was built this year, it might even support full 2.1 Amp fast charging of the iPad. Mac users also have a very simple way to check how much juice each device is receiving. Simply go the the Apple menu, select About This Mac, and hit the More Info… button, which launches System Profiler. From there you can select USB from the sidebar under Hardware, and select the device you want to check on. It'll show you the Current Available, the Current Required, and the Extra Operating Current—by adding the Available and Extra Current together, you'll get the current power output for that port. For more info, see this Apple Support document.
Adding PDFs directly to iBooks via Safari
- August 30, 2011
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
When Apple added PDF support in iBooks, it was a huge boon to users who hadn't yet sprung for a standalone, third-party reader. But did you know that you can add files directly to this PDF library from Safari on the iPad? Simply open a PDF in Safari and tap the page - at the top you'll see a button to "Open in iBooks," which will automatically add the document to your library. Starting in iOS 5, you'll also be able to take advantage of this feature on your iPhone or iPod touch, making the process of adding a PDF to your iBooks library far more streamlined.
Scrolling inside boxes in Safari
If you've ever come across a box containing text, a map, or some other interactive element on a webpage in Safari on your iOS device, you may have noticed that when trying to scroll inside it with a single finger, you end up moving the entire page instead. As it turns out, Safari on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch does offer a way to do so: simply scroll inside the box as you'd normally do, but use two fingers instead one. Problem solved.
Enabling Find My iPhone in iOS
If you've had the need to use Find My iPhone to locate your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad even a single time, you know the outstanding utility of this feature. Once limited to paying MobileMe customers, it's now free for all iPhone 4, fourth-generation iPod touch, and iPad users, and will continue to be when Apple makes the transition over to iCloud. If you haven't yet set it up on your device, here's how to do so.
Open up the Settings app, then tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and tap Add Account. Choose MobileMe, then use your Apple ID—it can be the same one you use for the iTunes Store, or a separate ID, if you have one—to sign up. Don't worry if you're not a MobileMe subscriber—logging in with a non-MobileMe ID will still give you access to the following screen, on which you can toggle the feature on and off. Turn it on, and you'll be able to login on the web or from another iOS device using the same login and track, lock, remotely wipe, or just display a message or play a sound on your device.
Setting up AutoFill in Safari on iOS
Over the years, Safari on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch has become more capable, incrementally gaining features from its desktop counterpart. One of those features—AutoFill—can come in extremely handy, but doesn't necessarily get used a lot because it's not turned on by default. To add this trick to your mobile web browsing arsenal, open the Settings app, tap on Safari, and then tap on AutoFill. On the screen that appears, you'll need to turn Use Contact Info on, Names & Passwords on—if you want—and tap the My Info area to select your own entry from your list of contacts, letting Safari in on specifics like your address, phone number, and other details it can use to automatically populate forms, saving you time and frustration.
Tracking packages directly from Mail in iOS
If you've ordered something online, odds are you'll get a shipment notification via email—and that means it's likely to show up in Mail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Luckily, Apple's latest versions of iOS can automatically parse UPS and FedEx tracking numbers, giving you fast access to the whereabouts of your latest arrival. To take advantage of this feature, simply find the tracking number in the email, and tap and hold until an option to Track Shipment appears, and tap on that to be taken to the courier's tracking page. It's a lot easier for the anxious than trying to copy and paste the number every time. Trust us.
Erasing your iOS device without a computer
The ability to take your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad into an Apple Store for service is great—but handing over all of your personal info? Not so much. If you're getting your iOS device replaced, selling it, or simply handing an older model over to a family member, you'll want to get all your contacts, calendars, and other personal data off the device—and luckily, there's an easy, built-in feature in iOS for doing exactly that. Open the Settings app, tap on General, and scroll to the bottom of the screen until you see the button for Reset. Tap on that, and then tap Erase All Content and Settings. The device will have you verify that this is what you want to do—you are erasing everything, after all—and will then do its thing, rebooting afterwards into the same state it was in when you first took it out of the box.
Putting an iOS device in DFU mode
Whether it's an unresponsive device, an upgrade gone bad, or some other sort of software-based gremlin, sometimes you literally have to force iTunes to recognize and restore your iOS device. Short for Device Firmware Update, DFU mode is a last resort for bringing misbehaving units back to working order—and here's how to trigger it.
To start, you need to have the device plugged into your computer via USB, and then turn it off. Once it's completely powered down, press and hold both the sleep/wake and Home buttons for ten seconds. After ten seconds, release the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the Home button down until you see a pop-up alert from iTunes telling you that it has "detected an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch in recovery mode," and that it needs to restore the device before it can be used. If your device starts up normally without seeing this pop-up, simply try the process again—sometimes it takes a couple tries. And if that doesn't work, well, there's always the Genius Bar!
Navigating the Music app with one hand
For those of you with smaller hands, you may have noticed that it's not always easy to reach the back button on iPhone and iPod touch Music app's Now Playing screen when you're holding the device one-handed. Luckily, Apple has built-in another form of navigation: simply swipe to the right on this screen and the app will return to the menu you were last looking at, letting you easily choose another song. It's not the most complicated tip, but if you ever need it, it sure comes in handy.
Getting rid of Wi-Fi network pop-ups on iOS
Today's tips is aimed at the urban dwellers. Do you frequently notice that your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad is asking you to join random, unknown networks while you're walking, riding, or even just sitting at a nearby café? Unless you like these interruptions, there's an easy way to rid yourself of these annoying notifications. Simply open the Settings app, tap Wi-Fi, and set the "Ask to Join Networks" slider to off. Now your device will only connect to networks that it's previously connected to—like the ones at your home and work—unless you open that same Wi-Fi menu and manually look for a new connection. It can be a little less handy, but it's also a lot less aggravating.
Quickly add apps, content to iOS devices
More than likely you're accustomed to using iTunes' tabbed device management interface for handling what apps, music, videos, and other media you want on your devices. But did you know that you can add just a few items quickly and easily without ever having to change those settings? Simply drag-and-drop any app or content you want from your iTunes library to the iOS device's listing in the sidebar. iTunes will automatically add it to the device—assuming there's enough available space—even if you've got automatic syncing turned on.
Setting up Automatic Downloads in iOS and iTunes
Announced this week as part of Apple's new iCloud service, you can now set your iOS devices and iTunes to automatically download new purchases made on other devices. On your iOS device running 4.3.3, go in to the Settings apps and tap on Store. Right at the top, you'll see slider toggles for turning Automatic Downloads of Music, Apps, and Books on and off. In addition, there's a separate option below that on 3G-enabled devices that lets you decide whether you'd like them to download purchases over the cellular network when you're away from Wi-Fi.
In iTunes 10.3, the process is just as simple. Open the iTunes > Preferences… menu, click the Store tab, and then click the three check boxes for the Automatic Downloads of Music, Apps, and Books as you'd like. From now on, whenever you purchase a song, app, or book on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or home computer, you'll find it waiting for you the next time you use one of your other devices.
Downloading past iTunes purchases to your iOS device
As you might have heard, Apple has announced iTunes in the Cloud, allowing users to download past iTunes Store music and music video purchases directly to their iPhones, iPads, or iPod touches, free of charge. If your device is running iOS 4.3.3, simply open the iTunes Store app and look at the bottom row of tabs. You should see a new tab called Purchased, from which you can access and download all your past iTunes Store music purchases. You can look for specific songs by searching, browse past purchases via Recent Purchases or Not On This iPhone automatically-populated lists, or browse by artist. When you've found the song or album you were looking for, simply tap the cloud download button to the right of the listing. Just remember that if you're on 3G, these downloads will count against your data limit, so try to stay away from grabbing up album after album until you're back on Wi-Fi.
Grabbing screenshots on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Whether you're a designer trying to get a mobile layout pixel-perfect, a frustrated customer needing to document some strange behavior for the folks at the Genius Bar, or a wordsmith wanting to memorialize your latest Words With Friends achievement, you're going to need a screenshot. Luckily, every portable iOS device has a super-simple way to capture whatever's happening on your screen. Simply push the sleep/wake and Home buttons simultaneously, and you should see the screen flash, accompanied by the familiar camera snap sound—provided your device has a built-in speaker. This trick works anywhere in the OS—including when an app is running—and you'll find the resulting image in your Camera Roll, where you can access and share it just like any other photo you've snapped.
Getting the most out of iOS' software keyboard
When Apple CEO Steve Jobs first unveiled the iPhone, he made a point to highlight the device's software keyboard, which allowed it to adapt to different uses, unlike the hardware keyboards popular at the time. Well, this adaptability can also make typing on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad faster. When typing an uppercase letter, for instance, you can use a single "tap and slide" motion from the shift button to the letter you need; the same "tap and slide" maneuver can be used when typing a number or symbol. When you're typing in a web address, tap and hold on the ".com" button to access other frequently used top-level domains such as .net, .edu, and .org, and if you're typing on the iPad, you can swipe up on the exclamation point/comma or question mark/period button for quick access for an apostrophe or quotation mark, respectively. While they're not exactly game-changers, these simple tips can save you a few extra taps—and with them, extra seconds—every single day.
Turning on Home Sharing for iPod, iPhone, and iPad
Apple's cloud-based music service might be just around the corner, but in the meantime, you can have complete access to your iTunes library on any iOS 4.3 device via your home's Wi-Fi network by setting up Home Sharing. In the iTunes Preferences window, make sure you have Sharing turned on, then go to the Advanced menu and turn on Home Sharing. Once that's done, go to your iOS device's Settings app, tap on iPod, and scroll down to the Home Sharing section, then enter the same Apple ID and password that you used to setup Home Sharing on iTunes. From then on, whenever you access the iPod app while connected to your home network, you'll see an option for Shared under the More tab. Select your library, and you'll have full access to every song, album, and playlist you've got, turning every iPod/iPhone/iPad speaker in the house into a mini music server. Note that if you have a second-generation Apple TV, you can likely skip the iTunes steps and go straight to your portable device.
Bookmarks for iPhone, iPod touch + iPad
If you're new to iOS—or just a casual user—you might not know that the Safari browser on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad has bookmarks just like the one on your PC or Mac. To access them, simply tap on the open book icon—located at the bottom of the screen on iPhone and iPod touch, and in the top bar on the iPad. A list of links and folders will appear, headlined by your browsing history. If you've chosen to sync your bookmarks through iTunes (handled in the Info tab for your device) or via MobileMe, all of the bookmarks from your Mac or PC should be there as well. To add a bookmark, simply tap the action icon and select Add Bookmark; this should sync back to your computer upon your next sync, or over the air if you're a MobileMe subscriber.
Sharing a Contact in iOS
It's inevitable: at some point when you're out and about with a group of friends, someone will need an email address, phone number, or some other piece of information about someone else, and you'll have it sitting right on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Luckily, there's a simple and easy way to share this information, and it doesn't involve a pen and a cocktail napkin. In either the Contacts or Phone applications, tap on the contact whose information you need to share, and scroll down to the bottom until you see the "Share Contact" button. On the iPhone, you'll have your choice of sending the info via email or MMS—the latter super handy for sharing with friends that also have iPhones—while iPad and iPod touch users can ship the info out via email.

Adding a website to your iOS Home screen
Have a website or web app that you find yourself using a lot? Give it the same stature as your real, native apps by adding it to your Home screen. To do so, simply tap the action button—the box with the arrow pointing out of it—and tap the option to "Add to Home Screen." This will bring you to a page where you can give your new direct link a personalized name, and then simply tap the "Add" button in the upper right hand corner to complete the process. Once a website has been added to your Home screen, you can move it around just like any other app—including putting it in a folder—and it can be removed from the Home screen using the same process you use to delete an app.

Big Flood is good for you!We all know it: After ZX 81, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Atari ST and Commodore Amiga early days, videogame industry has been going through well known cycles, mostly based on arrival of new platforms from Sega, Sony, and Nintendo. Business models were more or less under control. Developers, Publishers, Distributors, and Manufacturers were playing their part in a fine tuned orchestra. At the same time, triple AAA titles were more and more expensive to create. It was getting more and more difficult for small and medium studios to stay in the race. Social games, smart phones, tablets, Facebook, cloud computing, free-to-play, premium, freemium - just to name a few - shook the whole system. Bankers and investors, who were reluctant when looking into game company business models in the past, are getting attracted to it again when they take into consideration the high-speed development and quick investment return of companies like Zinga or BigPoint. Clever minds speak about business and technology paradigm shift. We prefer to talk of a maelstrom, a tsunami, a tectonic shift. Videogame Economics Forum is all about that. Videogame Economics Forum (VEF) gathers venture capitalists, private equity firm specialists, and executives from major games companies and independent games studios to discuss the challenges the game industry is facing and explore the magnificent opportunities this tsunami brings with it. You want to know more? Join us for two days of conferences, workshops, face-to-face business meetings. Attendees will come out of the two-day intensive brainstorm with a better understanding of the diversity of videogame industry new business models, new ideas, new partners, and more importantly, with more money to grow faster. As old Egyptians were saying: a bad Niles flood is good for us. A small flood or no flood at all would mean famine. |

Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD-DOST)
http://www.pcaarrd.dost.gov.ph/home/ssentinel/The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) is one of the sectoral councils under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). PCAARRD was established on June 22, 2011 through the consolidation of the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) and the Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD).
The Council formulates policies, plans and programs for science and technology-based research and development in the different sectors under its concern. It coordinates, evaluates, and monitors the national research and development (R&D) efforts in the agriculture, aquatic and natural resources (AANR) sectors. It also allocates government and external funds for R&D and generates resources to support its program.
PCAARRD is engaged in active partnerships with international, regional, and national organizations and funding institutions for joint R&D, human resource development and training, technical assistance, and exchange of scientists, information and technologies. It also supports the National Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Network composed of national multi- and single-commodity and regional R&D centers, cooperating stations, and specialized agencies. As such PCAARRD has been a potent arm in catalyzing the Philippine AANR sectors toward self-sufficiency and global competitiveness.

Letter to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calling for concrete benchmarks at upcoming Tokyo Conference
Thirteen congressional representatives sent a letter today to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, ahead of a key donor conference on Afghanistan being held in Tokyo later this week. The letter highlights the critical role of the extractives sector in Afghanistan's development over the next decade.
Signatories are calling on Secretary Clinton to commit to concrete benchmarks and safeguards for an emerging extractives industry in Afghanistan at the Conference; and guard against the resource curse taking root in an already volatile context.

Joint civil society letter - Four Core Objectives for Good Governance in Afghanistan's extractives sector
On July 8th 2012, the international community and Afghan government will meet in Tokyo to discuss Afghanistan's future development.
Ahead of the conference, Global Witness has joined national and international NGOs in a letter to highlight the need for good governance in Afghanistan's emerging extractives sector. We believe the Conference represents a crucial opportunity to strengthen the foundations for a viable industry that benefits all citizens, promotes human development, and contributes to Afghanistan's financial sovereignty.
The letter asks attendees to:
Organisations representing over 1000 civil society groups call on the EU to force companies to reveal their true ownership
Organisations representing over 1000 civil society groups have written to the EU calling on it to establish a new standard for company ownership transparency. NGO coalitions including Publish What You Pay, the UN Convention against Corruption civil society coalition and the Task Force on Financial Integrity and Economic Development, are asking for a new standard that companies have to publicly disclose their ultimate, or beneficial, owner.
The letter reads:

No. The only time I would take a life would be in defense of my own or someone I love (its a very short list). No one has the right to take the life of another (self-defense is an exception, that other person is willingly putting his or her life on the line to attack and potentially take your life, that becomes an issue of self-perseverance). This doesn't mean I'm a flower loving hippie or anything, I have no reservations about protecting me and my own, but a life is very precious, and to take them out solely for the purpose of monetary gain, not a good enough reason. I think looking at it from an Atheist point of view makes life that much more precious, because we believe that it's our only existence, after we die, that's it, game over man. No press "god" to continue or extra lives after death, just black nothing. So to end something as great as an existence over something as meaningless as monetary gain is a tragedy.
Yes of course! Wait, i even get money for it? Great
It would have to be someone who deserves to die--- like the Oslo killer or Justin Beiber (joke). Anybody who says they would kill their ex friend for money is a sick fuckwit.
i would do it. there is no right and wrong without having a defined perspective. my chosen perspective would be of the entire world, not the people. there are too many humans, the world doesn't need us like that.
we have to souls, so the only reason not to kill would be fear of the code of hammurabi, an eye for an eye.
What a stupid thing to say. How about the fear of living in a society where people routinely kill for money? How about the hope of living in a society where people value their neighbors more than cash payouts?
If I really wanted to kill someone, I'm confident I could get away with it, so I have no fear of punishment. If I wanted my ex-best friend dead, it would be done with nobody the wiser. But there are many more reasons than fear of gods or the law for me to not choose such a thing.
Is it in unmarked bills, and do you know where he is?
No, because I wouldn't want to deprive a couple young kids of their father. The only reason to take another life should be self defense, not money.
No, I couldn't. Even though the money would be great, I don't feel it is my place to steal another persons precious time on this Earth. Heck, I'm the guy that usually takes spiders outside rather than smashing them. The closest I could come would be if it was someone sentenced to death. Logistically, I'd just be doing what is already the decided conclusion. But still then, there's some degree of guilt that makes me uncertain. The only place I can be certain is if it's a matter of defense.

Three doshas
As already mentioned, Ayurveda is also the doctrine of the three doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha that can be summarized as temperaments (energies). These doshas affect the five elements - ether, air, fire, water and earth. It is not surprising that the term "dosha" is often translated as "influencing factor". Everyone is characterized by individual structure and individual influence of the five defining elements.
Every organism is built from the same "building blocks". Vata is the energy that provides all the movement in the body and is affected by ether and the air. Pitta is the energy that is responsible for the body's metabolism and determined by fire and water. Water and earth form Kapha - the energy that is responsible for the body shape.
There are all three doshas in every person from birth in varying combinations, they interact and change. The combination of doshas determines the shape of the body and temperament of the person. In every person there are all types of doshas, but typically dominating one of them. Along with the "pure" type there are so-called mixed types with two or even three predominant doshas, where all are equal.
Vata - the principle of motion
Responsible for the change in the position of everything in the universe. This energy is accountable for the nervous system, respiration, secretion, blood circulation, the movement of muscles and tissues. In general, Vata is in charge for all motor processes in the body. When this Dosha is presented in the body in the right combination, it brings energy, creativity, enthusiasm and cheerfulness. Quality of Vata characterized with ether and air: dry, light, cool, lively, sharp and clear.
Pitta - the principle of alteration substances
Controls the metabolic processes. Predominant element in Pitta is fire: heat contributes to changing the forms and states. In the human body, Pitta is responsible for the transformation of substances and changes in body temperature. Pitta is also accountable for the flexibility, intelligence, warmth and cheerfulness. Pitta transforms and moves everything, whether it is food or experiences. Quality of Pitta characterized by fire and water: light, hot, oily, sharp, burning, free, changing and sour.
Kapha - the principle of constitution
Is under the influence of water and earth. Through water this dosha carries a connecting function. When there is no water, then there would be only dry. Water keeps the matters together and makes possible the emergence of new compounds and promotes growth. Kapha gives a person strength, balance, body structure and flexibility. Kapha is responsible for fluid balance, and also provides the body with energy. When Kapha is in the right balance, it gives strength, endurance, good immunity, patience and calm. Quality Kapha can be characterized by the following: heavy, oily, cold, hard, durable, soft and sweet.
How to follow Ayurveda
Ayurveda recommends a balanced diet. This means that the diet should be made of all six tastes - sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter and astringent - in accordance with the rhythms of nature and the fact what person would prefer at this time. To do so, one needs to know what dosha predominates in a person and should be strengthened, and which, conversely, should be weakened.
Final words
Of course, you cannot tell you about all the variety of teaching Ayurveda in such a small article. Those who are interested in this topic may learn more about it from many books on Ayurveda. We hope that this article was able to brief you on the principles of Ayurveda. You will find the perfect balance for your energy in Ayurvedic teas. In these herb tea blends, you will find the ideal symbiosis from the Ayurvedic teaching and the Western imagination along with a expectation of taste. The Ayurvedic varieties generally do not consist of any orthodox teas, therefore, are caffeine free. Since the components such as pepper, cardamom, coriander, ginger root, cloves, etc. yield a natural strength and spiciness in the infusion, we suggest to add warm milk. These mixtures are also especially recommended for children and the elderly. Apart from this, you should try the blends pure, sweetened and hot or cold. Perhaps, enjoying "your" dosha tea, you will notice that little things can make a big difference!

Loose Tea | Preparation
Chinese Wū long or Oolong is a type of tea located between green and black in the Chinese classification. In other words, Oolong is half-fermented tea. Oxidation ranges from 20% to 40%, and the most characteristic feature of this tea is that the leaves are fermented unevenly. Along the edges of the tea leaf fermentation can be quite astringent, almost like black tea with well pronounced reddish rim around a leaf but in the center of leaf fermentation, is very weak, close to green teas. As a result, Oolongs have a wonderful aroma and taste that combines the freshness of green tea and tartness of black tea.
Oolong combines the best qualities of both green and black teas. Some highly fermented Oolongs give a fairly dark brown-reddish infusion. However, such Oolongs constitute only a small share of the vast diversity of this type of tea. Basic and famous Oolongs have a gentle light yellowish or greenish tinge honey extract. By appearance of the infusion, they are closer to green teas and by taste - to black teas. A good Oolong is both refreshing and delicious with no trace of bitterness and stronger aroma than any green or black teas. Oolong is a well known type of Chinese tea used in ceremonies. A widely-used ceremonial method of brewing Oolongs in Taiwan and China is called Gongfu Cha. For a complete appreciation of the taste of this tea, tea pairing is recommended: tea bowl and snifter cup used to appreciate the tea's aroma. Tea poured into a snifter cup and a drinking bowl is placed upside down over the top of the snifter cup. Then the two are inverted so that the snifter cup is upside down in the drinking bowl. The final stage is when the snifter cup is lifted and the tea is released into the drinking bowl. After all this manipulations, tea drinkers can respectfully receive the aroma and then enjoy the taste. There are two main types of Oolong that are grown and harvested in China and Taiwan, the mainland and island tea. The next classification is the type of traditional treatment and characteristics of climate and soil. Oolongs grow high in the mountains, shrouded in fog, on the poor stony soils. The quality of tea depends on the orientation of the slope, the number of fogs during the growth and professionalism of collectors, who manually collect and sort out the tea leaves in difficult mountain conditions. Oolong often resembles the form of twisted lumps consisting of strongly folded and compressed whole leaves. When touched, the lumps are elastic and dense. Fresh tea should be slightly shiny and have a strong fragrant. During the brewing process, the tea leaves unfold, expend and consume the entire volume of the teapot when steeped 2-3 times. Usually, Oolong brewed with water temperature of 176-194º F for 3-4 minutes. A teapot 150 ml takes about one heaped teaspoon. Expensive Oolongs can withstand multiple infusions up to 20-25 times. The fragrance of tea can vary from delicate peach tones to astringent walnut, with a corresponding color change of infusions darker with each subsequent brewing. There are varieties of oolong that color does not change and remains yellow-green, while others, originally given infusions of intense color give a pale infusion each subsequent brewing.
Oolong tea is the most diverse among Chinese teas in terms of taste and appearance . Oolong is tea-perfection conceived by Heaven and Earth.

History | Loose Tea | Preparation | Oolong
Fruit tea is a healthy, delicious and cheap alternative to all soft drinks and is available in many different flavors. Within recent decades, a fruit tea boom developed and now, most tea shops are carrying a large assortment of delicate fruit blends. These teas have a great calming and restorative effect, contain no caffeine and can be consumed at any time of the day. The versatility of fruit tea blends took over a big population of consumers, including children and the elderly. Hot or Iced, fruit tea is a real treat!
Typically, fruit teas are prepared on the basis of several components which include apple pieces, hibiscus blossoms and rose hips that characterize the body of the blend. Two of the most popular award winning compositions of fruit teas, are based on citrus fruits and apple & cinnamon. All ingredients can be grouped in the following way: dried, freeze-dried, blossoms, peels, herbs, spices, powder and nuts. What so special about a fruit tea? First of all, it should be noted that most fruits and leaves of fruit trees do not lose their beneficial properties in a dried form. Thus, fruit teas offer a great opportunity to get a complete set of vitamins and mineral substances in every cup of tea. Freshly harvested, the raw fruits are frozen and freeze-dried in vacuum chambers. Hereby, the ice is directly turned into steam via a slow heating process and extracted from the cells. Form, color, size and consistency remain unchanged, and the opened cell structures allow a quick immersion in water. This process is especially favorable to all ingredients such as vitamins, minerals and aromas. No additives are used so that the outer appearance and a natural taste are optimally preserved. The fruit tastes are good as it was originally picked! Fruit tea blends are very refreshing and a good way to quench a thirst. Our recommendation is to start with Turkish Apple with Vitamin C. Pure freshness!

The Tea Ceremony - Enjoy the variability of the worldThere are various traditions of tea ceremonies in different cultures. Every nation, every region and even families have their traditions of making this wonderful drink. The cult of tea in the East belongs to Japanese, in the West - to English. Tea rituals help a person to concentrate and reflect on spirituality, to see the unexpected in the usual, to understand the unknown in the known, set to a tide of nature and the universe, to find peace and harmony in your soul. Drinking tea requires vigilance at all stages of interaction with product, since the cultivation and collection of leaves to water and its selection, connection with the fire in the cooking process of boiling water.
In England, tea drinking is an old and much respected tradition which includes communication that often is very formal. The British, which are wonderful people, they contrive to get the pleasure of formal communication, if it happens over a cup of tea.
In Russia, people drink tea for the sake of conversation. Russian tea drinking ceremonies, tea is the drink of friendship. There is nothing more important than company enjoying this traditional drink sitting around a samovar.
The Japanese prefer to enjoy the world outside edge of everyday life. Therefore, for the tea ceremony, they create a special world: a tea garden with a special path that leads to a tea house, with a room for tea drinking ceremonies. The Japanese tea ceremony is not so much about the taste of tea, but the taste of Zen. Japanese tea rituals are extremely complicated and refined. There are special ritual acts, dishes, and even space. Japanese tea ceremonies are analogous to cultic action and have philosophical and authentic characters.
Basics Japanese Philosophy of Tea:
• worship of beauty; • dream of good in an imperfect world full of evil; • subordination to the laws of charity in the relations between human beings; • tea - is pleasure without excess, is uniquely valuable without the high cost, is nature and harmony, hospitality and peacefulness; • tea - is healthy because it prompts to clean; • tea - is frugality, because learning to find comfort in the simple and modest; • tea - is moral geometry, determining the optimal form of a combination of personal interests with the interests of others.
The Chinese tea ceremony allows enjoying the taste of tea. Gong Fu Cha (called the ceremony - higher skill tea) reveals the variability of the world through the variability of the taste of tea. It helps to take the one and another variation of the reality, as a fact. When the higher level of concentration is reached, and then during the tea ceremony can be felt as the world is changing with each passing second, as the grass grows and a tree leaf develops. The ceremony tunes on a philosophical mood, calms nerves, and becomes the true relaxation from the harsh realities of everyday life. Moreover, it provides an opportunity to accept these harsh realities with an open heart and even reduce their severity. They are only parts of the overall variability of the world, and, hence, will change soon. So what's the worry?
Tea in the Gong Fu Cha has four precious things: a form of the leaf, the color of this, the scent of tea, and the taste of tea. Tea ceremony is constructed so that participants can assess all four of treasures and enjoy them.
This tea ceremony is human life in a miniature form. It is not surprising that the East is given the value of tea and rituals, associated with it. After all, tea ceremonies help not only to understand and take the variability of the world, but enjoy it just as volatile flavor tea.

text: | Big week for me in gadget worldMarch 2, 2011 - Pam RodgersThis week has started off really good for me. I mean REALLY good. I made a leap in the conversion of me as a "PC person" to a "Mac person" when my new MacBook arrived Monday. All of my video editing somehow made it a necessity for me to get my own instead of stealing my Dad's all the time. It is now fully set up, and I am ready to begin my file transferring, which seems like a daunting task! For the record, I will be hanging on to my Dell laptop for now as it has my life on it. I haven't completely decided to transfer everything, so for the time being, I will be a two laptop person. Back to the Mac, I have taken a break from video editing because of my own MacBook was on its way. I have started some file transfers. My video projects and raw video transferred from Dad's to mine without a hitch, so now I'm ready to dive back into that and start some new projects. My focus has become somewhat distracted from my new computer; however, because I reached the time in every cell phone user's life when they can get an upgrade. When I first started my Verizon plan, I went with the basic flip phone that handled all of calling and txting needs. I always knew when it came time to upgrade, I would make the switch to a smartphone. This desire only intensified in the past few months, because, as I have mentioned before, I borrowed my brother's old iPhone. I loved having those capabilities, but it also got cumbersome to carry around two mobile devices all the time. Now for the payoff, I ordered a new phone from Verizon on Sunday, and it arrived Tuesday! I got a LG Vortex. It has a touch screen like an iPhone but I am finding lots of differences. It in the android family so I will learning the ins and outs of that market. I will have fun browsing the apps and finding ones that would work for me. It's exciting to finally have something that feels like mine instead of something borrowed. I will still use the phone primarily for calling and txting but it will be nice when I'm on the go to have access to the 3G network and my e-mail. The iPhone needed a wireless signal otherwise it was only good for music and games. I'm still adjusting to the Vortex's touch screen. The phone itself is narrower than the original iPhone so I'll have to be more precise in my typing. I also used T9 on my flip phone for txting so I'll have adjust to typing everything out. It will be a fun journey. So now I'm all set for my new toys, and extemporaneous purchases. I will now have to watch my extra expenses. I think if I don't buy anything except gas and food from now until July, I'll be OK. Thank God for tax returns! Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | Blog Photos |

Murcutt Wins AIA Gold Medal
The American Institute of Architects announced today that Glenn Marcus Murcutt, Hon. FAIA, is the winner of its 2009 Gold Medal, one of the highest honors awarded in the profession. In addition, Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects will receive the association's 2009 Firm of the Year Award, which recognizes a practice that has "consistently produced distinguished architecture for at least 10 years." Adele Naudé Santos, FAIA, will be honored with the 2009 Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education, given by the AIA and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. All three of the prize recipients demonstrate rigorous sensitivity toward the natural environment, both in their philosophies and in their work.
Born in 1936 and raised in New Guinea, Murcutt has practiced exclusively in Australia, where he founded his one-man firm in 1970. Though all located on a single continent, Murcutt's ecologically sensitive home designs, which combine an interest in Modernism with local materials and an indigenous aesthetic, have influenced architects around the world. The winner of the 2002 Pritzker Architecture Prize, Glenn Murcutt will be the 65th AIA Gold Medalist.
Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, a six-partner firm based in Seattle, is known for a collaborative and hands-on approach to design and a belief in the potential of architecture to positively influence people's lives. Jim Olsen founded the firm in 1971; Rick Sundberg joined in 1975; Tom Kundig and Scott Allen followed in 2000. Kristen Murray and Alan Maskin became principals this year. Among the firm's many lauded projects are The Delta Shelter in Washington State, Chicken Point Cabin in Northern Idaho, and the Frye Art Museum in Seattle.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Since 2004, Adele Santos has served as dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT while also continuing her San Francisco-based practice, Santos Prescott and Associates. She has taught at universities around the country, including most recently the University of California, Berkeley, College of Environmental Design. "During my entire career, I have combined teaching and practice," she said in a prepared statement. "There has always been a cross-fertilization between the two, and, at their best, both teaching and practice have been a form of research." Her practice is known for its holistic approach, and her academic work for its interdisciplinary attitude.
Murcutt and Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects will receive their awards in February at the American Architectural Foundation's "Accent on Architecture" gala. Santos will receive her medallion in March at the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture annual meeting.
