text: Hello. I'm building an LFS 6.3. This is my first LFS (well, not really, I tried building one a couple years ago, but I was a total Linux newbie back then so I didn't get very far). I'm now stuck at the inetutils-1.5 compilation section in Chapter 6. Here is what I tried to get it working: *It looks from the log (attached) that the problem is with telnet/telnet.c - specifically it seems that it's trying to use `tgetent' *I used the info pages to determine that `tgetent' is a function from /usr/include/term.h *I grep'ed telnet.c for '#include' and found that term.h was not being included, so I edited telnet.c to include it (a new source tree of course). *After trying the make command again, I found that it was failing at the same spot, for the same reason, therefore my change had no effect If someone could offer insight, I would appreciate it. Another thing I should probably mention is that through Chapter 6, when I installed packages, I first faked the installation to another directory, tar'ed and bzip2'ed the directory, and extracted it in the root directory to complete the installation. I usually used the DESTDIR option, except when it wasn't available, then I found another way to do it. Thank You Justin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Lately I've been seeing a lot of new plug-ins and products starting to emerge. Some good, some not so good. But a few of them have really caught our eye, so we've decided to add them to our Techstore range. It means that there'll be a lot of new additions for you to check out over the next few days.
One plug-in I particularly like is SimLab Composer, a handy tool for sharing 3D files without needing 3D software. It's a very simple tool but has quite a lot of uses.
In a nutshell, SimLab Composer converts 3D files from Maya & 3ds Max into interactive 3D PDF files. Imagine being able to share 3D files with someone who doesn't use 3D software… That's the perfect sort of use for this little gem.
The 3D PDF files that it generates are actually pretty decent. They capture the full 3D dimensions of the designs, so you don't lose any of the 3D detail you've spent lots of time working on. Another bonus to using PDF format is that anyone viewing it only needs PDF Acrobat reader to see the files. You can even rotate the model and zoom in. At this stage, you are no doubt wondering exactly what one of these files looks like… Well, here's one we prepared earlier: it is of a villa and a boat.
SimLab Composer is available as a plug-in for Maya, 3ds Max and Sketch-up, which makes integrating it into a pipeline quite easy. You can find out more about SimLab Composer here, or get in touch.

- Great table linen for the price!Review by Danielle
Quality Price Fit Appearance I purchased this tablecloth as a sample for wedding decor. The linen is a great quality for the price. I would highly recommend buying this product, rather than spending more to rent
(Posted on 12/13/14) - Perfect!Review by Sarah
I ordered 36 of these on Black Friday for my upcoming wedding. They are perfect and cheaper than renting. The color is beautiful! They come exactly halfway to the floor on my 6 foot tables. I can't wait to order the matching ivory polyester chair covers, as well. You won't find a better price for this quality!
(Posted on 2/23/14) - Perfect shade of ivory, great valueReview by Anna
I was hesitant to order these because I was afraid that they might be more of a yellow-ish ivory, and I wanted a cleaner, lighter ivory. They ended up being the perfect shade. And I'm surprised by the quality considering it was cheaper to buy these then it was to rent from anywhere that I looked. Super happy with this purchase.

Hello again! My next Motoko cosplay post will probably be the last, woohoo! I have a month to finish.
I got the grommets set in the bodice and some more binding is done. It fits funny in the cups and I'm not happy with it.
Here is another progress picture (apologies about the quality, my phone's camera leaves much to be desired).
The part I still need to do.
-Finish binding and get clear straps for the bodice. I am REALLY not happy about the straps, but it seems my only option to get it to fit right at this point without starting over.
-Finish belt
-Modify the bikini bottoms...maybe.
-Add cuffs to the socks
-Make the shin guards.
Then, I think I'm done!
I bought a pair of sunglasses from a prop maker on Etsy. I really didn't want to make those so if they end up fitting properly it is totally worth it. Worse case I suppose they can just stay on top of my head, I'll be wearing my normal glasses in the halls so I can see anyway. Not ready to brave contacts yet!
Sigh... still really bummed about the bodice but I still think it's better than my old one.

This is a great read, Richard.
I think you nailed the critical points that confront businesses with remote employees and the responsibilities of all parties involved. I think some companies that have not implemented the use of remote employees are just anxious and hear of more negative than positive outcomes. Also I believe that corporations that are utilizing remote employees save tremendously on overhead (for example, office space leasing, using VoIP phones versus traditional lines, and most larger cities provide broadband speeds for home offices that rival or even surpass corporate connections for a fraction of the cost). Also this gives businesses a chance to have a presence in geographic locations/regions they may not have (fully) staffed offices in.
You are absolutely on the mark with being comfortable working for hours alone. It's not for everyone and it takes an incredible amount of personal discipline. I suppose I am adjusted to it as I too, like you, worked from a home office for years prior to working at Nexxtep. The solitude and freedom to concentrate on work from the distraction of a busy office is something I am very comfortable with. That said, however, I am in constant contact with other staff at any given time via Instant Messaging, VoIP phone, mobile device and email. There are even a couple of staff that will video call from time to time to relay work information or if we both happen to be on a break just to say hello. For me working remotely has other benefits as well. One major one I can think if is the time difference between my office and HQ back in Georgia. During the Fall there is a two hour difference and in the Spring it moves to a three hour window. This allows for me to continue working out my day while several East Coast clients are out of the office having left for the day.
And contrary to popular belief I do not wear bunny slippers while working (much).

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.

There are numerous methods for brewing tea leaves. In Japanese tea ceremonies, powdered tea is whisked into green foam, in Mongolian, they reduced tea leaves dust by boiling with salted milk…Western tea lovers follow the Chinese way of brewing tea leaves in hot water. This way seems very simple, but there are several essential tips that are critical to a good cup of tea.1. Make sure you use good quality cold water2. Your kettle and teapot need to be clean3. Use the correct amount of tea leaves4. Use the correct amount of water at proper temperature5. Make sure tea is steeped for the right length of time6. Use proper storage for tea leaves
Use good quality cold water
Water that is used to make tea has a large influence on the tea taste. Water composition, chalk content, mineral content and hardness differ from region to region and influence the taste experience, greatly. For the best taste results, use good-tasting water. Only use fresh water which was not already cooked previously. Bottled spring or filtered waters are ideal for this purpose, find the kind you like. If using tap water, make sure it runs for couple minutes before poured in the kettle. Tap water lacks oxygen when it sits in water pipes for hours. Do not use distilled water. Kettle and teapot need to be clean Tea should always be prepared in a specific container, such as a teapot made out of glass or ceramics. Always preheat your porcelain, ceramics or glass with hot water. The best water and the finest tea can be easily destroyed if the kettle or teapot is not clean. A brownish residue on the inside of teapot builds up after every brewing and needs to be taken care of; otherwise it will add a bitter taste to freshly brewed tea. So, just rinsing a teapot does not take care of the problem. Use a small amount of detergent while washing and wipe out the inside with soft cloth or sponge. Make sure the teapot is rinsed off thoroughly after washing, otherwise you may add extra "flavor" to the delicate bouquet of brewing tea leaves. Even the kettle is used only to boil water; it needs to be washed occasionally due to mineral deposits build up. Iron teapots are especially suitable for green tea and oolong tea. In Japan, these pots are only used to keep the water hot for the tea ceremony. For Europeans, the Japanese have enameled the pots on the inside so that they can be used to brew tea. Iron pots are very stylish and are almost indestructible.Use the correct amount of tea leaves I have the easiest solution – read suggested instruction but if you like to experiment, here are some general tips to follow:1. Use a tea measuring spoon. The decorative tea measuring spoons are available in many different forms and decors and determine the amount of tea needed for one cup. Particularly the longer spoons represent a good aid to reach the tea in the deep tea tins.2. Use one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per each serving (6oz cup), 1-2 level teaspoon of herb blends and Rooibos, one heaped teaspoon of fruit blends;3. After the amount of tea leaves is measured and placed in the teapot, add hot water;4. Use tea strainers or tea filters while steeping. It will allow removing tea leaves easily when brewing process is done.Use the correct amount of water at proper temperatureEach tea variety requires its unique treatment with respect to brewing. Most tea companies provide a suggested instruction on the package that refers to cup of tea being 6oz. The temperature of water varies depending on type of tea. Suitable thermometers for taking the appropriate water temperature are available.1. Black and Oolong Tea requires fully boiling water 203-212 F;2. Green and White Tea steeps best at 176-194 F, first stage of boiling also called "string of pearls", when small air bubbles rising to the surface and water is starting to steam.Right temperature will allow the delicate bouquet of tea composition to unfold fully, presenting its aroma.Tea should be steeped for the correct length of time The length of time depends on specifics of brewing leaves which need adequate time to open. White and Green tea requires 2 to 3 minutes due to being unfermented. Infuse the tea and let sit for 2 minutes. Many green tea drinkers also start by infusing half a cup of green tea with hot water for one minute before sieving it. Then the same tea is brewed again. This way, many of the bitter substances are eliminated.Fully fermented black tea steeps longer 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the bubbly-hot water over the tea and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Note: 3 minutes for an energizing result and up to 5 minutes (and a little less tea) for a more calming effect. Stir the infusion once and then pour it over a sieve or tea filter. The brewing time also depends on the size of leaf, the bigger the leaf the longer infusion time. Do not let tea brew too long, otherwise it will become bitter and taste will suffer. When it comes to fruit, herb and Rooibos tea, you do not have to worry. Due to being naturally decaffeinated, these tisanes need about 10 minutes on average to brew and will not go bitter.There is a "Perfect Tea Hourglass" available to keep to correct time.Proper storage for tea leaves As all products, tea leaves have an expiration date. Although each type of tea has a different shelf life, it's best to use tea within six month since day of purchase. Green and white tea is the most perishable due to short fermentation process. These types of tea need to be consumed in year of harvest. Black and Oolong retain their properties for several years. Pu-Erh gets only better with time. However, tea should be kept away from heat, moisture and sunlight. In order to preserve freshness tea should be stored in cool, dry, dark place in tea tin or ceramic container. Tins in various sizes are ideal for the storage of loose tea. The sensitive teas are well-protected against smell and light effects. The market offers many different decors that fit each tea character.Now, when you know all the tricks, let Tea Party begin!

Loose Tea | Preparation
Pu-Erh is a tea of emperors and commanders. In ancient times, soldiers were drinking Pu-Erh before battling to gather strength, find resoluteness and have confidence in victory. Today, this tea is popular among business people. Pu-Erh helps to concentrate on making important decisions and preparing for crucial meetings and lengthy negotiations. Pu-Erh assists to live an active, varied life. You can dance all night in the club and in the morning, appear in the office fresh and rested after an extraordinary cup of tea.
Pu-Erh grows in the Province Yunnan, the most southwestern province in China where more than a thousand years, tea is produced. Yunnan is the country of fog, mild sun and tea trees.Today, in an era of civilization and mechanisms, the best Pu-Erh is still being handcrafted by people that possess a special inner sense, processing an understanding of tea, they know the time when Pu-Erh becomes Pu-Erh and pass on their knowledge from generation to generation. In order to obtain a deep color infusions, strong mild taste and long-lasting fragrance, this tea is aged for several years in special conditions. Pu-Erh is the only kind of tea that gets better with time. The optimal storage time for different kinds of Pu-Erh is from 10 to 30 years. A collection of aged Pu-Erh can be appraised higher than the collection of vintage wines.The beauty of Pu-Erh is not only in its unusual taste and aroma. Despite the fact that this tea contains a small amount of caffeine, it invigorates and improves the efficiency better than coffee. This is the best drink for the morning, but is not recommended for the evening. High-quality and properly brewed Pu-Erh is very beneficial for one's health. It helps digestion, normalizes metabolism, lowers high blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, improves skin condition, reduces the risk of cancer, removes toxins and facilitates the alcohol withdrawal syndrome or overeating. Pu-Erh is the only tea that may inhibit the growth of peptic ulcers. Regular consumption of Pu-Erh contributes to weight loss and rejuvenates the body. It would be better to say that Pu-Erh helps to maintain the body to be the way it should be. As all types of tea, Pu-Erh is made from the leaves of the plant Camellia Sinensis. Top grade Pu-Erh obtained from the leaves collected from tea trees, not tea bushes. The older the tree, the more exquisite Pu-Erh brewed from its leaves. In the Pu-Erh county of Chinese province Yunnan which gave the name of this group of teas, grow some of the trees that are about a thousand years old. Pu-Erh made out of leaves from such trees is valued particularly high. In the forests of Burma, Vietnam, Laos and eastern India, found wild tea trees yielding a smaller amount but not less valuable harvest. The leaves of wild trees are gentler with a refreshing "menthol" aftertaste. They do not tolerate rough handling. From the leaves of wild trees the only loose leaf (not pressed) Pu-Erh is obtained. For the production of Pu-Erh, green tea leaves are used. After gathering, they are dried in the sun, roasted and kept for several months. After the drying process, the leaves are pressed, which produces a "raw" or "green Pu-Erh", similar to the properties of green tea. This Pu-Erh does not have a delicate aroma and exquisite taste, but is simple to prepare and inexpensive. In China, this tea is not considered a real Pu-Erh and called Mao-cha (coarse tea). This tea has been popular among nomads and Tibetan monks.To get a "mature Pu-Erh", the dried leaves are subjected to a secondary drying and post-fermentation, using modern accelerated technology to produce the mature Pu-Erh. The leaves are sprayed with water, collected in heaps or placed in rooms with high humidity with the help of microorganisms, a process called fermentation takes place. The higher the humidity, the faster the fermentation process, but the aroma and taste of tea leaves is much to be desired. In addition, excessive moisture leads to mold development. By traditional technology, Pu-Erh is aged in dry areas. In the province of Yunnan many factories and private facilities are located where the Pu-Erh is produced by using old recipes. Different bacteria cultures and different organizations of the fermentation process have a major impact on the taste, aroma and healing properties of Pu-Erh. The period of fermentation for high quality Pu-Erh lasts at least 6 months. With the growing popularity, Pu-Erh prepared by traditional technology is becoming increasingly difficult because more and more manufacturers use a quick simplified method of fermentation. The last stage of preparation of Pu-Erh is pressing. Tea is lightly steamed to soften and skillfully pressed into the desired shape (brick, pancake, rectangular blocks, bird nests, mushrooms or melons) then dried and wrapped in cloth. Bricks and pancakes of pressed Pu-Erh can weigh from 100g to 5kg. Pressed in a flat square, Pu-Erh is suitable material for the creation of embedded pictures, but "bird nests" which are designed for one portion, are more practical for a busy lifestyle.When buying Pu-Erh, one should pay attention to its fragrance and structure of the pressed leaves. Good quality Pu-Erh tea is characterized by a pronounced aroma of dried fruits with earthy notes. The smell of mold is an indicator of improper storage. If there is an opportunity to taste Pu-Erh before buying, evaluate the color of the infusion and depth of flavor. Also pay attention to the leaves remaining after brewing. Well-preserved whole leaves are an indicator of high quality Pu-Erh. A Quality loose leaf Pu-Erh usually has a delicate fragrant and pale color. loose leaf Pu-Erh can be appreciated only by experienced tea drinkers (connoisseurs). Preparation of Pu-Erh
Since Pu-erh has a very strong flavor and rich color; it is not recommended to brew this tea in clay teapots. Clay absorbs all smells and any other tea brewed in the same teapot will taste similar to Pu-Erh. The rich color of this tea will look good in a glass or porcelain cup. Quality Pu-Erh can be steeped a lot of times, therefore use a small teapot and small bowls. To maximize the healing effects of Pu-Erh, it should be drank without sugar and other sweets. A small amount of dried fruits or dark chocolate is quite acceptable. One "bird nest" or "mini tuocha" is good for multiple infusions. To "revive" and clean tea, pour some hot water; let it sit for 1 minute, and then drain the brew. This act will clear and warm the tea because the Pu-Erh has been waiting to meet you for several years, so allow its strong and earthy flavor to unfold softly. The first brew of Pu-Erh should be steeped up to 45 seconds, and then subsequent brewing time should be increased. This tea is an excellent representative of Chinese teas that surprise consumers with the originality and complexity of flavor bouquet.
Boiling is an old method of preparing pressed teas. The most spectacular brewing of Pu-Erh is in a glass teapot when the stages of heating water and the behavior of tea leaves can be observed. When brewing Pu-Erh, the process is very important not to miss the stage called "crab eye", when small bubbles start rising from the bottom of the kettle. At this stage, 1-2 cups of water should be poured out of teapot and then poured back, this stage is called "noise in the pines" - the muffled sound prior to boiling. Thus, the water becomes rejuvenated and is ready to accept the tea. Pre-soaked in cold water, the Pu-Erh is introduced to the water prior to boiling. At the first stage of boiling - "string of pearls", the teapot is removed from the fire and set aside for 30-60 seconds. The boiling process for this type of tea requires experience because of the excessive brewing time which makes the Pu-Erh infusion turbid, bitter and unpalatable. Another disadvantage of this method is that it is not economical. Boiled tea cannot be brewed again.

Stroke - acute impairment of cerebral circulation, noticeably "rejuvenated" for the last decade. This medical emergency can be averted by having a few glasses of black or green tea a day. This statement was made by a group of American scientists from the University of California, studied nine researches on the subject. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090223091806.htm
In recent years, every twelve months, around the world more than six million people are diagnosed with a stroke. In peacetime, stroke causes the death of every third adult person, which means that is more frequent cause of death than a car accidents. Thus, every two out of ten cases of stroke happen to people under the age of fifty. There are very few ways to reduce the risk of stroke. According to lead author of study Lenore Arab, a professor of medicine, by the time a stroke victim receives medical care, it's nearly too late to impede the damage. Another research found that 25 percent of people who had a stroke died within one year. American scientists have collected and conducted nine large-scale studies on the relationship between regular consumption of green and black tea, and the risk of stroke. It appears that tea may be the prevention from this disease. The survey covered nearly 195,000 individuals of different sex, age, social status, and so on. This group of people in a certain period of time had 4,378 cases of stroke.
As the researchers found, people that regularly drink green or black tea two to three cups which is about three hundred milliliters of tea per day, the risk of stroke for them is reduced by 21%, compared to people who do not drink tea at all, or drink one cup a day or less. The scientists suggest that the whole matter in the substances contained in tea, and plan soon to conduct a series of clinical trials to confirm the findings.

Health Benefits | Green Tea | Black Tea
Every morning begins about the same for millions of families in the world, with a refreshing cup of tea: black, green, white, herbal, fruit, flavored. We partake our favorite drink mostly out of habit rather than consciously. Scientists have calculated that a person drinks at least 51oz of fluid in one day, one third of this is tea. In each country people drink it in their own way: one is with butter and salt, some like it with milk, others prefer it by making extraordinary "bouquet", adding in tea herbs, fruits or flowers. We have collected the most common myths about tea, so we can confirm or refute the controversial debate.
Myth #1. Tea has a tonic effect on the body, so it is better to drink in the morning. True. Tea contains caffeine which has an activating effect on the cardiovascular system, so it should be drunk in the morning or afternoon. By the way, caffeine content in green tea is less than in black tea or coffee. Therefore, if you want to cheer up, do not drink gallons of coffee, better brew a cup of aromatic and healthy green tea. Myth #2. Tea with milk is harmful.
False. However, when milk is added, the chemical composition of tea is changing since the casein in milk binds the antioxidants. Tea becomes less tonic, and has less effect on blood vessels (the fact that the composition of tea includes vitamin P as well as other substances that strengthen the vascular wall). On another hand, tea with milk takes toxins out and works as a diuretic.
By the way, according to some narrations, the tradition of drinking tea with milk originated from the British. Due to the fact that the finest porcelain cups sometimes did not withstand boiling water and cracked. Therefore, the British began to dilute the tea with milk.
Myth #3. Loose leaf tea is better than tea bags. True. Usually, contents of tea bags are known as fanning's or dust, everything that is broken and crumbled. Tea bags are not necessarily cheaper than loose leaf tea, you pay for the packaging material and the process. Loose teas have more variants which can be brewed differently and it can be blended at your desired taste level. Tea bags, on the other hand, are pre-blended for a specific flavor. Loose teas can give you the purest of flavors for each variety, blended for your own preferences. Tea brewed from tea bags is not harmful - just useless. There is simply no better alternative than loose tea, it just tastes better. So, if you truly want to experience a heavenly cup of your favorite tea, then loose leaves are the way to go. Check out this great independent article titled, "For the love of tea!".
Myth #4. You cannot drink green or black tea in large quantities because it affects functions of the body.
Everything is good in moderation. Generally, there are no substances in tea that could harm the body. Three to four cups of tea per day will give you a total of 320 mg of polyphenols. People with kidney disorders, stomach ulcers, anxiety should not drink caffeinated tea. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also avoid caffeinated drinks. There are a lot of healthy alternatives: Rooibos, Mate, Herbal blends, Fruit blends.
Myth #5. Herbal tea can be an assistant in the treatment of certain diseases. True. Herbal tea cannot be used as medication but as an aid to help the drugs treatment is acceptable. However, herbs contain active substances that can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, people should take herbs with care, under the supervision of a practitioner knowledgeable in the field of botanical medicine. For therapeutic purposes or maintain immunity, herbal infusion should be brewed separately and should not be abused.
Myth #6. Coffee and tea have the same amount of caffeine.
No. Dry tea leaves contain more caffeine than coffee beans. However, in a single serving cup of prepared coffee contains significantly more caffeine than a cup of tea due to difference in amount used to prepare a cup of tea. Don't forget that certain types of tea can undergo a second infusion that will have even less caffeine. According to eHow.com, you can see for yourself that black tea, which is considered to have the highest levels of caffeine, is 50% less than coffee.
Myth #7. Hibiscus or Karkade decreases blood pressure.
True. Drinking Hibiscus tea effectively lowers blood pressure and reduces high cholesterol levels. Hibiscus is a main component of many Fruit and Herbal tea blends. Teas that contains Hibiscus, is caffeine free and rich in Vitamin C, which has a pleasant fragrance and vibrant red color.
Myth #8. Tea should be strong.
Partly true. Of course, the stronger the tea, the stronger its components and the higher the tannin content. Excessive amount of tannin over time may prevent the body from absorbing calcium if your diet is low in this nutrient, but the health benefits of tea are much greater than probable issues. How strong the tea should depend on one's preferences and suggestions from the tea company.
Myth #9. Tea has an antiseptic effect. True. Tea actually contains antiseptic substance, but the concentration of these substances is very low, and with serious illnesses, they may be useless. It is better to seek assistance from a doctor and use the tea as an aid.

Health Benefits | Loose Tea | Myth
Considering the various properties of tea, do not forget about the main advantage of this magnificent gift of nature: the tea is able to give us joy and create a good mood. It is important to learn how to use the opportunities that tea provides to us. Always useful to keep the favorite teas stash in the house and regularly update it. If the tea is prepared correctly, it will reveal to us all its grace, if only treated with due care. The procedure of making tea requires greater attention, distracts from all the vain and becomes effective curative session of psychotherapy. All we need is to believe in tea. The ritual begins when during the boiling of water, we opened the canister and breath the scent of dried tea, look at the tea leaves and think about often unknown plantation where early in the morning, unknown hands quickly and relentlessly blunt fragile shoots stretching to the rising sun. They came to us and brought freshness and flavor of mysterious place. While filling a pot with boiling water we begin to smell the tea infusion, while pouring tea into cups we admire the bubbles that knock on the surface at the edges of the cup. So we create for ourselves our own "tea ceremony" .

The first thing that many people do in the morning is grab a tea bag for a quick cup of tea. In contrast, true tea lovers brew their tea from loose leaves. Those who are still using tea bags are not only missing out on superior taste, they are missing out on the health benefits of using loose leaf tea in every cup.
People who use tea bags often use it for convenience to enjoy at the office or even in the comfort of their home. However, loose leaf tea is far more superior when it comes to taste than tea bags because the tea leaves are not constrained by paper.
Another major drawback of tea bags is that it tends to stale faster than loose leaves because it has smaller particles. Loose teas have more variants which can be brewed differently and it can be blended at your desired taste level. Tea bags, on the other hand, are pre-blended for a specific flavor. Loose teas can give you the purest of flavors for each variety, blended for your own preferences.
When it comes to brewing a nice warm pot of tea, there is a lot of argument over whether or not to use loose tea or a tea bag. Just about any tea expert will tell you that there is simply no better alternative than loose tea – as it just tastes better. So, if you truly want to experience a heavenly cup of your favorite tea, then loose leaves are the way to go.
Benefits of Using Loose Leaf Tea
Another reason why loose leaf tea is superior to tea bags is because you receive the "entire" leaf. The leaves that are placed into tea bags are simply tea dust and particles left over after the picking and processing of tea leaves. When you use a tea bag, you lack the essential oils that are present in loose leaves.
Loose Leaf Tea is Cost Effective
Loose leaf teas can actually save you more money than tea bags. When using a high-quality tea bag, it cost around 20 to 70 more for a tea bag. Brewing from quality loose leaves can cost around 5 cents per cup because it can be re-used up to 4 times before it loses flavor.
The Convenience of Using Loose Leaf Tea
Some people will argue that they don't have time to brew loose leaves. There are several devices that you can use to save you time when preparing loose leaf teas.
For example, you can use brewing baskets that can easily fit a tea pot or cup or pot to save time.
As you can see, the advantages of using loose leaf tea outweigh the any advantages of using a tea bag. So, try a cup of loose leaf tea today and discover its superior quality!

New Study Examines the Importance of Vitamin C on Eye and Brain Health
Many of us are already aware of the importance of Vitamin C as it relates to promoting immune health. However, a new study reveals that a regular intake of this best-selling vitamin may provide specific brain and eye health benefits.
This surprising discovery was made by the researchers of the Oregon Health & Science University. Their findings revealed that retinal cells required high concentrations of Vitamin C for proper functioning. This study, published in the Journal of NeuroScience also found that Vitamin C may promote brain health since the retina is part of the central nervous system. 1
Vitamin C For Eye Health
Although the function of Vitamin C is not fully understood, we do know that Vitamin C reservoirs are the last to be depleted in times of food deprivation. These observations suggest that Vitamin C may have neuro-protective properties and may be useful in preventing or treating a wide range of conditions, like glaucoma and epilepsy, which are dependent on the proper functioning of nerve cells in the retina and brain.
Vitamin C For Brain Function
Triggered by Vitamin C, GABA-type receptors act as an inhibitory brake on excitatory neurons in the brain, thus modulating communication between brain cells. In the absence of Vitamin C, these special receptors no longer function properly. This would explain why depression is one of the most common symptoms of scurvy, a disease caused by Vitamin C deficiency.
Functions of Vitamin C
Although Vitamin C deficiency leading to scurvy is very rare these days, inadequate levels of Vitamin C could cause inefficiencies in other important functions of the body.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that the body uses to produce a protein called collagen. It is used to form connective tissues such as skin, blood vessels and tendons. As an antioxidant, Vitamin C protects the body against cellular damage and inflammation.
The importance of Vitamin C is seen in the benefits it provides:
Fighting the common cold – Studies show that Vitamin C supplementation in beneficial doses may not prevent the common cold, but may shorten the course and produce milder symptoms. It is the most common infectious disease. Adults may have to 2 to 4 upper respiratory infections a year. The result of three meta-analyses show that Vitamin C in the dosage of 200 mg to 2 grams per day reduced the duration of common cold by 8 percent in adults and 14 percent in children. 2-5
Vitamin C facilitates the dietary absorption of iron – Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. One of the therapies is increasing dietary intake of Vitamin C. This is because gastrointestinal absorption of elemental iron is enhanced through supplementation of Vitamin C. 6-9
Vitamin C is vital to repairing wounds because it stimulates the production of collagen, which aids in the healing and regeneration process. 10
Vitamin C promotes cardiovascular health by preventing the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) implicated in development of atherosclerosis. While a lack of Vitamin C may not be the cause of cardiovascular disease, it does play a crucial role in stimulating the production of collagen and may help to heal arterial lesions and help prevent plaque formation in the arteries both of which lead to cardiovascular problems. Nobel Laureate, Linus Pauling and Matthias Rath have theorized that atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is caused by Vitamin-C deficiency. 11 According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is the world's largest killer claiming 17.1 million lives a year. More than 80 percent of cardiovascular-related deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries to men and women alike. 12
Vitamin C helps to promote healthy cell production – Because of the powerful antioxidants it contains, Vitamin C is used as an anti-wrinkling agent. Scientists also believe that by neutralizing free radical activity before it damages DNA, Vitamin C may help to prevent the growth of certain cancerous cells. 13
Who's Potentially At Risk of Having Inadequate Vitamin C Levels?
Smokers – Studies consistently show that smokers are at risk of having low levels of Vitamin C due to oxidative stress caused by inhaling nicotine. The Institute of Medicine recommends that smokers take in 35 mg more of Vitamin C per day than non-smokers. As of March 2011, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention states cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. Statistics show there are 46 million smokers accounting for 20.6 percent of the adult population. All of them need to take extra dose daily of Vitamin C. 14-15
Those who follow an unhealthy diet – A diet rich in fruits and vegetables will enable individuals to meet the recommended daily intake (RDI) of Vitamin C. Eating fruit two or more times a day and vegetables, three or more times a day is generally recommended for a healthy diet. However, the percentage of Americans actually following this type of diet ranges from 8.8 percent to 20.1 percent. The rest of the nation, ranging from 79.9 to 91.2 percent, needs supplementary Vitamin C. 16-17

Write a ReviewOwner, Cogent Concepts Design
By Alyssia C. from Austin, TX on Jun 24, 2008
Look and general construction were cute and well proportioned. However, the base of each lamp was not set level and cannot be adjusted. This makes the shade set unevenly on the base and the whole fixture then looks skewed. The manufacturer really needs to take more time assembling and addressing the fine points, or else include a way for the end consumer to make the adjustments. I would recommend this product with this caveat.

Renovating the Bathroom
By Dan E. from San Antonio, TX on Jun 14, 2011
Practical, Stylish
We have now completed the renovation of the second bathroom in our 30 year old house. We have installed this fixture in both bathrooms and feel we made an excellent choice. We wanted a simple, but attractive fixture. This one is modern in design, easy to clean, and provides just the right amount of light. It takes ordinary light bulbs, not the expensive and hot-burning halogen type. The glass shades have a subdued wave pattern that is very attractive and add a touch of elegance. Unlike another reviewer, we had no problem with the shades sitting perfectly and evenly. The price is reasonable, and then there's the free shipping as an added incentive.

Looking for Digital SLR Cameras?
Start shoppingThree essential DSLR accessories
Whether you're giving or receiving the gift of a DSLR camera this holiday season, these three accessories are essential to get up and running. DLSR kits all come with batteries, chargers, and a lens or two, so what else do you absolutely need before you start shooting?
1. Lens. Let's back up. DSLR kits contain one or two lenses, but if you choose to buy a camera labeled as "body only," you'll need a lens to screw on the front of the camera.
The Tamron 28-300mm is a good "one lens" solution.
2. Memory card. Make sure you figure out what type of card your new camera uses. Some cameras include a 32MB SD card - but get real, that only stores a few pictures. You'll need something with at least a gig or two to start.
The faster the speed on your memory card, the
faster it'll record your pictures in your camera.
It'll also download them to your computer faster.
3. Bag or case. OK, you can shoot just fine without one. But a bag protects your investment, carries your extra lenses and accessories, and helps you transport your camera safely when you travel. I keep a couple of kitchen-sized garbage bags in mine in case I'm ever caught in a heavy rain. DSLR bags have configurable foam dividers that let you tailor its interior to your particular camera and lenses.
This Tamrac messenger bag lets you carry a camera
body with a lens attached, plus an additional lens.
And there's still some room for your other accessories (or a snack).
Other accessories are nice to have, but these are a good starting point. Happy shooting!

Robotic ball Sphero takes on Pearl Street
Posted By Andy Vuong On June 28, 2011 @ 10:55 pm In Technology | No Comments
The Orbotix [1] crew in Boulder just released a fun video of Sphero [2], billed as the world's first robotic ball controlled by a smartphone, interacting with folks on Pearl Street Mall (see clip below).
The ball is slated to launch in late 2011 with a price tag of $130.
It'll be sold with a basic driving application. The company promises to release a few other games and apps to coincide with the launch. The cost of the programs, to be available in the iTunes App Store and Android Marketplace, will range from free to $9.99.
I played with Sphero [3] at CES in January [4] and thought it was fun and challenging. Whether consumers will be willing to cough up $130 for the ball may depend on the number (and quality) of games and apps that are created for Sphero. The company has a program to assist [5] third-party app developers.
Regardless of whether Sphero catches on, it's good to see a local technology company create and produce a product targeted at the mass market. (Remember DataPlay [6]? That was an exciting company even though it flopped.)

Brazil legend Pele has been singing the praises of Manchester United's Javier Hernandez saying that the United star could very well be the next Lionel Messi. Pele has been keeping an eye on the 22 year old who has played more than his part in helping United into the position they are in now by scoring 13 goals in 26 Premier League appearances. "There is no doubt that Hernandez is a promising player. He is excellent, I have seen some games of his on television and he is a fantastic footballer," Pele told reporters. ''He could be the next Messi because he has great talent; he is a big surprise just as Hugo Sanchez was because he is another that scores a lot of goals. "We should wait a little, because we still don't know how he will play in the Mexican team... but without doubt, he has huge potential."

3-D for Your Ears: Building Dolby's Atmos System for Brave
SAN FRANCISCO — A theater in a bustling multiplex seemed like the last place to find a secret laboratory.
For seven months, Room 10, a theater on the top floor of the AMC Van Ness 14, was closed off to the public. Inside, engineers from Dolby Laboratories were testing a new surround sound technology called Atmos, rushing to get the sophisticated system done in time for the premiere of the Pixar movie Brave.
"They basically had trusswork everywhere so they could try hanging speakers in every possible location," said Will Files, a sound designer at Skywalker Sound who worked on the Atmos test mix for Brave. Speakers were everywhere — hung in arrays on the ceiling, lining the walls.
A few blocks away, at Dolby's headquarters, researchers furiously wrote lines of C++ for the Atmos rendering engine, compiling and uploading it to be tested in real time in the secret theater.
The goal: To accurately simulate the sound of a helicopter roaring overhead, or birds chirping in the lush canopy of an Amazon rainforest. A killer stalking his prey, with his footsteps on the ceiling. Or — for Brave, an uplifting medieval fantasy tale set in the Scottish highlands — to simulate arrows whizzing by, horses galloping away and bears stomping through the forest.
"Sound is 50 percent of the movie-going experience," as George Lucas once said. With the massive resurgence of interest in 3-D movies over the past several years, sound needed to become more 3-D, too. But 3-D visual effects — often tacked on digitally in post-production instead of being well thought out from the very beginning — started seeming gimmicky and predictable.
"The thing about 3-D visuals is that it's not how we actually see in 3-D; it's sort of a rough approximation," Files said. "I think the difference with Atmos is it's much closer to how we hear in 3-D. You don't need special glasses; you don't need headphones. It's not as much of a jump. It's not as faux."
To entice audiences to drop $15 to see a movie at a major multiplex instead of on a laptop, theaters need to provide a premium experience drastically different from what a consumer can experience at home. Building a richer, more-enveloping surround sound experience with upward of 64 speakers — and placing arrays of speakers directly above viewers' heads, where they generally never have been before — seemed like the way forward.
How Atmos Works
The concept of 3-D movies and surround sound are both old ideas, dating back to the first half of the 20th century. Walt Disney's 1940 classic Fantasia was designed to have surround sound.
Many companies have worked in the field of surround sound in the 70-odd years since, but few have approached the ubiquity and market share of Dolby. By the early 1990s, Dolby's 5.1 — six channels of sound (five speakers, plus the ".1″ for a subwoofer) — became the movie industry standard. The technology became so ubiquitous that it infiltrated the consumer level, too; you could buy a Dolby Digital-equipped receiver and speakers at your local Best Buy, and build a serviceable home theater in your living room, and "5.1 sound" soon became a household word.
The sequel to 5.1 was 7.1, introduced in theaters in 2010 with the Pixar movie Toy Story 3. But 7.1 — eight channels, including the subwoofer — was an incremental improvement, not a paradigm shift. With two additional speakers in the surround, movies sounded better, more lifelike. But a movie mixed for 7.1 could only play that way in a 7.1-equipped movie theater.
Atmos was designed to change that, providing a platform that would work with a variety of theater sound systems.

Kevin O'Neill tapped to helm Dracano
Vancouver-based Odyssey Media Inc. announced this week that it has given the nod to visual effects master Kevin O'Neill to direct its upcoming disaster feature, Dracano.
The film, about a catastrophic volcanic eruption that unleashes ancient dragon-like creatures and threatens to usher in a dragon apocalypse, is part of a multi-picture deal with L.A.-based Pulser Productions.
Though primarily known for his visual effects work on films and TV series, including Hercules, Xena, Blade, Mulan and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, O'Neill has also directed three features, including Dinocroc, Dinoshark for Syfy and Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader.
Dracano was penned by horror and sci-fi veteran Lindsay James, whose credits include the Canada-U.S. copro Phantom Racer and the Canada-Australia copro Malibu Shark Attack.
Odyssey Media's Kirk Shaw and Devi Sing will produce alongside Pulser's Stan Spry and Eric Woods.

Investing for Nerds: Anyone Can Be an Expert
By A Real Person on July 12, 2011
The stock market is an ongoing strategy game screaming for some nerd-love, yet it's dominated by old guys in suits. The object is to find the companies that are going to be worth more in the future than the market gives them credit for. Sort through the fanboys and the trolls and you can find yourself a winner. You already even have the skills. A mind for statistics? Check. An interest in at least some aspect of business? I hate to break it to you, but following blogs about smartphones and video games counts. I mean if this kid can do it, what's your excuse?
The first thing I hear after I nerd out on someone over the stock market is that it's too hard. "I wouldn't even know where to begin," they say. I tell them that everyone is an expert in some area of the business world. We are all consumers and we all have a specialty. I'm sure some of you can rattle off the iPad competitors being released in the next three months and whether or not they will make an impact in the marketplace. Dig a little deeper and I bet some of you recognize trends that your parents would kill for. Maybe you're more interested in fashion and can tell me which mall retailers are on their way down and which are poised for success, or whether nuclear power or fuel cells are the future. These are the same questions Wall Street "experts" are asking, but you have an edge over them. While they're supposed to be following the entire market, you can follow and read into the companies and trends you're already interested in and use those nerd skills to set yourself up financially while also enjoying the thrill of the game.
If I haven't convinced you that being involved in the stock market is within your grasp, then let me ask you this. When did you first hear of Netflix (NFLX)? When was it obvious to you that Netflix was quickly becoming a must-have service for your friends? Two years ago Netflix closed at $40.55 per share. Now it's trading at around $250 per share. I was skeptical of the service when I first heard about it, but by the summer of 2009, most of my friends were using it to catch up on the first five seasons of LOST.
Along the same lines, when did you know RIM's (RIMM) Blackberry was starting to look primitive compared to the app revolution that was happening over at Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG)? Even during the financial meltdown of that same summer of 2009, RIM was trading at $71 per share. It wasn't until April of this year that the stock fell below $50 to where it sits today at just below $30 per share. If you could have said at the beginning of this year that RIM was in serious trouble, then you might have been considered more of an expert on the topic then the average investor.
I should tell you now that there is nothing guaranteed about the stock market. It is not my goal to pick stocks for you. I am just a 25 year old nerd who wants to share his passion for the stock market with his peers. It is my goal, however, through this column, to share ideas, pose questions, and develop our own nerd strategies to beating the market. If we're going to be obsessing over a game, it might as well be one that can make us some money.
This column should not be construed as recommending or advising on specific investments. The views and opinions expressed in this article or column are the author's own and not necessarily those of Nerdist Industries; No endorsement by Nerdist Industries of any advice or trading strategy is implied.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have been asking my friends for years if they're interested in the stock market or if they take an active role in their 401(k) investing, and they all (huge nerds in other ways) give me blank stares as if I'm speaking in an alien tongue. Now, finally, I've got someone who can talk in plain layman's terms (well, nerdly layman's terms) about investing!
P.S. Perfect photo choices, BTW. If I had a dime for every hour I spent playing Monopoly or reading Ritchie Rich comics…
Sorry to be off topic Chris, but partly due to YOU (soap opera off chord) I decided to try Dr. Who again. The last time I watched one it had Tristan from 'All Creatures Great and Small'. So I downloaded the first episode of 'The Impossible Astronaut' and Jesus Christ it was awful. Not even at attempt at coherent narrantive–he's dead and they go straight to the casino and find him with no explanation, among many other basic 'grammar-of-film' goofs. What the fuck?
Th Netflix pricing blows my mind. I realized in 2004 how awesome it was and have been a member off and on ever since. It never occurred to me to buy stock. My main problem with the market is that I feel like I need a large amount of "play" money to start (and my 401k doesn't let me actively pick stocks only certain packages). How about an advice column that tells us how we can actually get into the market for cheap (and what cheap would be) as opposed to saying, "Remember when your ought Netflix was cool? You missed out on a lot of money."
You're MOSTLY right. I actually DO work in the market, and when you start to get really specialized, you rarely have analysts with their hands in more than 1 or 2 industries, and very rarely outside of 1 sector.
We have a guy that JUST DOES paper and forestry products, another guy who just does resorts, travel and leisure companies…So it gets pretty granular here on the street, and we're not even a big shop.
The simple truth is that you're right, but as a professional investor, I would urge you nerds to not put up more capital than you can lose, start sloe and safe, then move out to the more exotic and risky trades.
Also, 1 thing to keep in mind. Psychology plays a HUGE part in every market.
You could have done gobs of research, charting, deep value analysis found a company that is SUPER cheap, and then get crushed the day after you buy it. You'll be all "WTF Mate, this makes no effing sense!!!@" and you'd be right. A lot of shit that goes on in the market makes no sense, but just because you get your balls crushed a couple of times doesn't mean you can't get rich.For individual investors, I would suggest buying some sort of diversified ETF, like an S&P or a Russell with the bulk of your ramp up, then make of couple of fun plays like on a favorite motherboard maker or rare earth mining expedition or something with a small part of your portfolio.
Nothing is worse than getting blown up big and losing all of your money in 1 or 2 names.
I'd love to see a post on HOW to buy stocks, and also if a reader is the type who SHOULD buy stocks. I am definitely not a mainstream guy, so identifying what trends and products are going to make it big isn't intuitive for me.
The actual act of purchasing and selling stocks is very easy. scottrade.com fill out the info, fund the account, pick a stock, buy it.
In terms of identifying trends and products, well that's a lot trickier. you could start at a place like investopedia, or fool.com, or even scottrade has some nice primers. I think even reddit has a section on it.
You have to make some decisions, you have to do a bunch of reading, you need to learn how to read a balance sheet, or just jump on band wagons.
Also, ETF or Exchange Traded Funds are your friend (look up ishares and go from there).
Big C— Don't reward the haters w/ a response! ignore, ignore. (But, that said, I get it)
My first investment was in a QSR restaurant in the early '00s… I saw a trend in Fast food getting a bit… i dunno a bit more high-falutin'. All my nerdy friends were getting into the concepts and going more, etc. So I dropped some $$ in one… and just watched it for a while, but then i got bored… and so I invested in APPL just days after the iPod came out… i remeber it was before even iTunes existed but i thought… this is CRAZY! and lucked out. Not a lot of money, just barely enough for it to be fun to watch. BUT that gave me the bug to dive into OPEN… just because it would be fun to follow. we're talking dozens of dollars not thousands… again enough to keep it interesting but not enough to stress.
We nerds are early adopters… and I've seen 2 instances where it paid off for me at least. So I keep looking, and by default learning.
The best thing I ever read about investing was: Invest in what you use.
Great Article Jon!
I went through a small investing phase in 2006 where I dropped a little bit of money into a small collection of companies who products and services I used. One of those companies was Netflix. This was just prior to their first streaming announcement and their stock prices had just taken a nasty tumble from the $40 wave they'd been riding into the $15-$20 range. The prices hit $40 again and stayed there for another year or so before they began to steadily rise to the point they're at now.
Interesting topic. One that I am interested in but really does not say so much. It is also good to understand how the stockmarket works. Trending is good and most amateur investors can see that but actually knowing that the stock is valuable is a different thing since many factors like bank ownership, ROIC, P/E, ect make a huge difference in the value of a company.
Good things about the the article is that nerd culture can find the best stocks to invest in because they understand different trends like new Applications for phones. However, you have to read into the stock market a little more besides just putting money into companies like Apple blindly. You can take a risk if you feel there are companies (like early stage Netflix) out there but your money could be swallowed whole by the demon stockmarket later.
I recommend a bunch of books:
One up on Wallstreet (tells amateur investors like Nerdist followers that they can see trends)
Phil Towns book Rule Number 1.
The Wealthy Barber (more for how to save your money)And my favorite website for stock investing…..email me if you want to know it.
Some stocks that interest me at the moment that are winners…
Apple (totally undervalued) long on
EMC (shitty stock now but interesting if you are into the cloud)
Lululemon (awesome company that makes girls bums look good)
I had a small position on Western Digital, Activision and a pretty good position on Universal Display (PANL) in the past. I have a whole list more… -
There are a couple of different schools of thought in investing. So far I have seen the word "Trend" tossed around a couple of times, but I've seen nothing about VALUE
I am a value investor, and could care less about trends.
The way I invest in companies is look at their fundamentals, work from the ground up, talk to control people at those companies. Decide whether or not these are companies I would like to own, then I buy them.
The way I invest is about ownership, not performance. The markets will go up and down, but if you bought an undervalued stock, that really shouldn't matter to you, because you're only waiting for the market to catch up with the valuation.
I only really sell stocks if I feel they are getting grossly over valued, because to not make money on that is silly. However, if I'm in a name that I really believe in (which is all of the names I'm in) I will take all the lumps it can deal out to me.
I have been wrong, and I have paid for it, but a day with no mistakes is a day with no lessons.
@bobby b. Yeah value investing is great because trends may only be on the surface of the company with a new interesting toy but value goes deeper. Apple would be valuable stock to own because they have both (all the numbers add up and they are trending) whereas something like Blizzard Activision has some trending from their games in the nerd community but overall little trending in the investing community since their value and growth cycles might not be awesome.
This site is a great site for value investing. It uses a lot of Phil Town's principles for value investing. Once you know something about the numbers e.g. P/E, ROIC it makes a lot of sense. Four things about investing that every nerd should use: 1) Moat (think about a castle moat protecting a company from other companies e.g. how big a moat did Microsoft have in the early 90's? Check out the ROIC, 2) Margin of safety, comes down to the money and how much the stock is worth vs. how much money the company is worth, think PS3 at a 80% discount 3) Management, Steve Jobs vs. Rimm CEOs 4 ) Meaning – does this have meaning to the people buying it. e.g. do you own that iphone or apps on the iphone.
Ok. Here is a site that I love using…. If it is green you might get some green.
Great info chris. I'll definitely take a look.

Recent Eindhoven graduate Kaman Tung presented a well thought out graduation project entitled Family, a set of practical restaurant seating. This furniture is designed for public spaces or anywhere we need to keep an eye on our belongings. Tung's BackPack Chair and CaseChair allow for tidy temporary storage: stash a handbag in the nook on the side or built into the back. No more sitting with a bag on your lap all evening (since the dirty floor is out of the question). Hang a coat or scarf on the Hanger Chair to keep it from slipping off the back or dragging along the floor. The table has a storage compartment underneath the surface where smaller items can be stowed safely and observed throughout the meal without taking up valuable space that should be reserved for food and drink.

Daredevil Writer/Producer Heads To Sinister Six, New Showrunner Takes His Place
There's been yet another switcheroo at Marvel this weekend: The Daredevil Netflix series is getting a new showrunner. Drew Goddard has stepped away from the helm, and will instead be writing and directing the Spider-Man spinoff film Sinister Six. Taking his place is Steven S. DeKnight, who worked with Goddard on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel. His past credits also include Dollhouse, Spartacus, and Smallville. Goddard, who has already written the first two episodes of Daredevil, will still be an Executive Producer for the series.
