379 Tasting Notes
this tea is grand, i mean truly exceptional.
dry it reminds me of ripe strawberries and raspberry jello, but once the water goes in there is a premeditated tartness from the green base that negates any thoughts of jello whatsoever.
my unsolicited advice (as someone who thoroughly messed up their first attempt), believe the 3 minute recommendation on the bag. nina's has been doing this long enough that they don't recommend halfheartedly.
the green they have chosen is very smart indeed…. it has a sharp tang that is absolutely timed to the minute. the berries are balanced against a three minute time…. like a smartypants i figured more was better and went for 4 the first time and got no berries whatsoever. when correctly timed you get a perfect equation with perfectly (not over) ripe berries with a medium strength green tea. this is a flavoured green, there is never any doubt that it is a tea. with some flavoured blends the tea essence is lost, but not here.
very nice. little doubt i will buy again!
this tea has frustrated my intelligence. true i can be stubborn and do things in my own manner, but i have followed the instructions for this beautiful tea. i love the smell, i love the appearance….. but i get a mediocre taste!
1 minute, 1.5 minutes…. 4 minutes. hotter, colder. nope.
it is so highly sought after, and there is no more to be had this year at least and with every steeping i am wasting my supply.
i will rate this one… i do not believe it is a failing on my part or my other teas would be impacted. very sad…. i really did want to love it as others do….
It makes me sad that you are having issues with this tea.:((( I LOVE it. I knew it was discontinued, and I've heard a rumor that Garret isn't sure he will ever be able to get more. That also makes me very sad :(( I'm hoarding what I have. I don't even know how I steep it. I would have said that you can do anything to it and it just works.
Do you like Teavivre Black Pearls?
i was curious, so i looked up the history: nina's paris, (named after the founder's wife mme nina diaz) was founded in 1672 as the furbishers of fragrance to versailles. it shows.
this tea is red, and round. it actually creates a spherical shape in my mouth. i am not referring to the natural process of swallowing here, i feel the flavour in a spherical shape, over my tongue and against my cheeks.
this blend is an exercise in just enough and not too much; had the raspberry been stonger it may have evolved from a balanced tart to sharp or bitter, but it did not. the red currant adds the round component i think, as well a classic element. the caramel is very quiet… three fingers brushing one time lightly between your shoulder blades after a long day. soothing.
this tea is lovely. i was surprised at first when i learned that the french tea apothecaries were also frequently parfumeries, but it makes perfect sense now. how the two vocations could ever be separate is a foreign thought to me now because it is. so. logical.
while she did not send me this tea, i really must thank ysaurella for playing the part of brilliant catalyst for this part of my tea journey. our swap caught me so offguard i think my heart may continue to dwell in parisien tea houses.
nina's paris is one of two companies where caramel even registers with me…. the rest i can't detect at all. this blend was so very well done!
I was enamored with the sense of being transported by the tea to the Orient Express for some reason. Nina's reminds me of elegance…brocades velvet, polished wood, leather, perfume, plumes and jewels. Bowls of fruit, flowers and silver samovars.
Well, my grandmother was born in San Francisco in 1883. (Not great-grandmother). My mom singing Opera when I was young had some effect on my being a dreamer and a string of exotic travelers in need of lodging in the 1950's…friends of my linguist Aunt. In other words, I'm old.
Haha! I still remember dancing with my grandfather at the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill in S.F. on my 13th birthday…1961. A scene out of Mad Men, evening gowns and furs.
Jaaaammmmmmeeeeessss! How much do I have to pay you/what combination of favours would let me snag a teeny teeny sample of this from you? Feel free to say "there's nothing you can do, keychange, and I'll politely eff off.
I adore this tea. I plan to give it to my future son-in-law as a wedding gift soon, as it is precisely the flavor profile he likes, and the name is perfect! It reminds me of a tea he and my daughter bought for me when they were in Budapest. It is exquisite.
struck by the sheer terror of midterms after nearly 2 decades i behaved very badly and broke into my birthday tea with the intention of piping this mate directly into my brain if need be for my exam yesterday.
the exam the night before had been a NIGHTMARE. because of the impairments i do my exams on a PC….. which halfway way through my psyche exam timed out, drop kicked me and ERASED all of my answers.
… …. …… they called a tech from the library and shuffled me to a different spot to keep working. they did not shuffle me far enough….. i heard every groan of despair.
'the bad news is your work is gone and i can't get it back…' and thus a debate about what to do. i'll admit it, i had a brief (although polite) moment where i lost my cool.
'FOLKS! the option is exactly ONE! i need some quiet and i need to get the exam done. PERIOD.' and i did, because there was no other choice. especially with an exam the next morning first thing.
thus, with the advent of a new exam and a palpable frisson of fear STOMPING through my heart, i broke into my birthday tea and grabbed this mate hoping it would turn me into a genius and that i wouldn't have a repeat of the night before. it was a risk folks…. i have mentioned several times that i don't tolerate mate well. it usually curdles my stomach and makes me jittery.
seeing as i'm sure you are all waiting with baited breath i will tell you about exam 2: my prof will hate me. i wrote and wrote and wrote. i am expecting an A, but i'll settle for an A+, lol.
my glitches with mate? apparently only with ones from this continent.
this tea has marshmallow notes that soften a beautiful balance of fruit and flowers. very light in colour as well in taste. it is complex, but not complicated, and not the least bit imposing. beautiful, smooth, cleared the fuzz out of my head in record time. i will absolutely buy mate from mariage and dammann.
by far the best mate i have ever had. by leaps and bounds! and i will keep one in the house for as long as i'm a student.
agreed! hopefully i'm not completely cracked though and i did as well as i think i did on exam #2!!!
Oh god, reading this reminded me of all the horrors of writing adapted exams in the accessible tech labs at school. The computer would crash; the screenreading software would turn out to be a demo 40 minutes in; I'd lose my work and want to throw things. Good for you for keeping it together, because that's legitimate melt down teratory. i'm glad the second one went better, but uggh ugggh ugh.
oh no! there's this hope that someone gets what you're saying when this junk happens, but then you feel bad when they really really get what you're saying.
i have been talking back and forth with my prof, the disabled student resource center has yet to report anything to her. all i keep screaming in my head is 'SERIOUSLY??? GET IT TOGETHER!!!!'
Oh geez. In my befuddled state I thought your terrible experience WAS a nightmare! Kudos for making it through. You might want to actually mention to the centre that your prof needs to know about this kind of thing ASAP. I would have thought they would have been phoning your prof and cancelling and rescheduling your exam for when they had their act together.
Well, and the suggested remedies are never anything you'd want to deal with. Re-write the exam? Are you effing kidding me? go through that again because they're inept and don't ensure a method to back up stuff?
my dear keychange…. we should discuss who the owner of the page that we are both on is, lol. shared custody do you think?
i find myself at a cross roads with this puerh. on one hand there are aspects that i find vastly superior, on the other i find some elements disconcerting.
i really like the fact that it isn't musty as some puerhs i've tried lately are. there's a healthy but not overpowering astringency that balances the flavours out so that i am certain i am drinking tea and i haven't been whacked in the mouth with a moss pillow.
what i find odd are the smell and taste. it smells like popcorn, and it tastes like sticky rice. makes a certain amount of sense, it's a rice shu…. but sweet rice in my tea cup is new for me and i don't know what i think of it yet!
thank you very much to tao tea leaf for the sample. i always enjoy an opportunity to try.
no numbers, not yet. i'll try another steep and see if i can come to a conclusion!
this is THE WHACKIEST tea!
visually it's quite lovely with the long umber tendrils curling among the black fingers of tea. kombucha….. i like the calorie free fizzy drink…. how would i like it in tea though?
for me this is a very honest tea. what i smelled is what i got…. which is great because the smell was awesome! the kombucha (which is a bacteria heavy fermented tea product btw….. i had to look it up) gives a great twang without any hint of bitterness which is perfect up against the pineapple and mango!
decisions decisions….. do i ship this off to ysaurella when the time comes? lol. just kidding.
that's the thing this is such an original tea that the mango is just part of one layer. even if you don't like it it may be nice for you to try one of david's teas hits, lol.
oops, nope, not for me. i got apple oatmeal and no cinnamon whatsoever. i will refrain from a number, but this was a full out miss from the david's teas hit or miss tendency. i'm afraid it wasn't even an apple cider. just apple powder in water…. i actually returned it.
this blend gave me more than just an energy boost… it also gave me information and insight!
this is another of the blends i snagged for a return swap to Ysaurella in paris. it reminded me vaguely of a tea she sent me and i thought she might enjoy variations on a theme.
i had concerns actually trying it though…. i don't tolerate the high levels of mateine in mate well and i am fairly certain i have the start of an allergy to rooiboos. HOWEVER there are exceptions to every rule. apparently i can handle the mate if it's diluted and it appears i can tolerate rooiboos if it has a stimulant paired with it!
the tea, the tea: absolutely a bumble bee tea! warm, orange notes that aren't bitter or overpowering. there is a fuzzy honey bee representation, and yet i do not feel as though i am drinking pureed bee, lol. it seems, somehow, to tap into my bee memory engrams. very cool!
thank you again to Ysaurella for giving me the excuse, and keychange for giving me the shove!
in am writing this most favourable review in honour of two friends: Ysaurella (who is the one ultimately receiving the sample) and keychange who wrote such a lovely impassioned review of this blend!
first thing's first: keychange.
david's teas was my first loose leafing source. i have mostly moved beyond them…. honestly i find them a tad too cutesy with names and sprinkles, etc. i could have taken that in stride to a certain extent… but, i began encountering discrepancies in the ingredients lists. a serious thing to be sure, especially for someone with allergies!
however, if no one gives us a second chance then it doesn't matter if we get better. and if our efforts don't matter, then why should we make them at all? bit by bit i have cautiously been trying david's teas again.
they have a few blends that are superlative! bar none their blueberry jam is the best ever! true they have not been doing tea for 300 years like many of the apothecaries in france, but we all start somewhere.
never let us say that we are impervious to peer pressure— we all are under the right circumstances. my friends can absolutely influence me! so when shopping for some north american extras to tack into my return swap to the brilliant Ysaurella, keychange's review of this tea came to mind!
what amused me most at david's today was the gravity with which the diligent young manager absorbed what i was saying.
'i have a tea buddy in france that sent me some beautiful damman freres and mariages freres samples…'
the young woman spluttered and coughed and managed to look both jealous and aghast at the same time, lol.
'she what? wow. oh wow.'
as per keychange's review…. indeed this is a very nice tea….. especially if you mix it with sweetened condensed milk! definitely a spice cake tea. although i can't put my finger on it absolutely, i think it may be the carrot that persuades me that i am drinking cake! very nicely done.
why am i sampling Ysaurella's samples? because i am not sending her anything that i haven't tried, plain and simple =0)
a beautiful cold weather blend. don't be afraid to let it steep for 7. thanks in part to keychange i am changing my david's teas tune.
you and like similar teas and you are very eloquent with your writing… no doubt your thoughts held sway!
ah I am impatient now to taste this DT – I have to say until now I am not very impressed by the brand (except for their marketing !)
i had to write another note about this tea. let me explain why.
i don't know whether you would refer to this an act of accidental masochism or an act of personal tea terrorism. you know the person that leaves half a square of TP and doesn't change it because they didn't "technically" finish it? or the person (kid usually) that doesn't make more juice because there's a micro meter left and it wasn't ACTUALLY empty? yeah. that was me with this tea.
i'm the only one that drinks it. i can blame anyone but myself. i left myself about a half a teaspoon of this beautiful tea. … ….. ……. i have a 16 oz mug. i was so mad!
i still look like i got punched in the eye, the doctor thinks it's a bite now and i rush off to see him shortly….. i just needed some tea, THIS tea before the madness begins!
know what? 1/2 a teaspoon in my giant cup and it's still brilliant. not weak or flavourless. brilliant.

But the corporate envoys roaming the halls of Brussels trying to make their case, more often than not, do not represent the Continent�s myriad telecommunications and Internet companies, but rather those from the United States. Europe has become the world�s technology regulator. So the AT&Ts and Verizons are pitted against the Googles and Yahoos to shape European law in the hopes that American regulators will follow suit.
�The U.S. companies see the outcome of the fight in Europe as key,� said Jeremie Zimmermann, a lobbyist for La Quadrature du Net, an Internet advocacy group based in Paris. �Each side is hoping to score points on the issue here so they can take it back to the States to influence the outcome there.�
Well the mafia does 100 billion a year in the U.S., more than Microsoft or any other major corporation. And the correct term is extortion.
It is most important to keep the web open and neutral or we have reverted back to the old days of media monopolies. Until this growing pain is passed we must remain vigilant for net neutrality since most of us here have interests that depend on it.
Europe does set some of the international standards but so do others. There is not a cut and dry way of producing international standards. It is an organic process and is debated openly amongst professional standards organizations. It generally winds up being a good international standard all can agree on.
If it is a high stakes game that does not involve technical standards, like net neutrality, and it is in the early stages of developing then the lobbyists and politicians move in. Ages old process.
"Give me Internet neutrality or give me death." or something like that.
All sorts of goodies being proposed in order to protect us mere mortals from the perils of the evil cyberweb.

Bulls crash out at Pompey
Portsmouth put their Premier League problems on the backburner for a night and stormed into the Carling Cup third round with a comfortable 4-1 win over Hereford. The Pompey fans that went Fratton Park were rewarded with a rock-solid performance, as Frederic Piquionne, John Utaka, Niko Kranjcar and Richard Hughes fired their side through. Piquionne opened the scoring when Kranjcar played him in on goal after 20 minutes, taking his time before coolly slotting under Bartlett. Utaka then atoned for his earlier wastefulness after 23 minutes, when Piquionne's cross from the left found him free in the box and he buried Portsmouth's second. Portsmouth then extended their advantage three minutes before the break, when Kranjcar's low shot from the edge of the box evaded Bartlett's grasp and squirmed home. Pompey then bagged their fourth goal after 56 minutes when the Bulls failed to clear their lines on the edge of the box. The ball broke to Hughes, who lashed home a superb left-footed effort on his first appearance of the season. Hereford appeared to be dead and buried at this point, but they were given a lifeline when Tristan Plummer hit home from the spot after he was fouled.

We climb narrow metal steps from the top floor of the Boston Design Center, set out through a heavy, metal door, and over a final raised ledge at the bottom of the door that can only be intended to discourage entrance onto the roof. Even before my eyes adjust to the brilliant sunlight, with my first breath, I can feel the farm in my lungs. It is not exactly just the smell of things growing; more the feeling of being given pure, new oxygen, in even exchange for the CO2 I am offering. When, still squinting, I first see the careful rows of vibrant life, I have that feeling of gazing at a mirage – it seems a bit of that visible, liquidy heat shimmers up into the air just beyond the edge of the rooftop, slightly obscuring the Boston skyline, at eye-level, off in the distance.

Taste the Local Terroir

One of my favorite deliveries happens on Fridays, when Michael from Carlisle Farmstead Cheese drops off a few rounds of goat cheese made by his wife Tricia, along with a few cases of Carlisle Honey, collected by beekeeper Ed Erny.
Michael and Tricia keep about 10 goats on their property and make several lovely cheeses — all named after their goats — in their state-of-the-art cheese room. Most, like Meg's Big Sunshine, are fresh and tangy with a white, bloomy rind. My personal favorite, Greta's Fairhaven, is made of raw goat's milk and aged a bit longer for a denser texture and an earthier flavor.
Across town, Ed keeps about five beehives in his back yard. In the springtime, he collects a delicately sweet blossom honey. By summer, that has given way to a darker, richer wildflower honey.
Michael works in Cambridge and conveniently drops off both the cheeses and the honey at FK on his way to work. They are outstanding artisanal products on their own, but perhaps elevated a little higher when they are served together, properly showcasing their common local roots.

Simulations Plus Reports 3rd Quarter And First 9 Months FY2012 Financial Results
Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLP), a leading provider of simulation and modeling software for pharmaceutical discovery and development, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2012 ended May 31, 2012 (3QFY12). Results below are reported for continuing operations (without the discontinued operations of the Company's former Words+ subsidiary), except as noted.
3QFY12 highlights compared with 3QFY11:
- Net sales increased 5.0% to $2.77 million from $2.64 million
- Gross profit increased 6.8% to $2.33 million from $2.19 million
- Gross margin increased to 84.2% from 82.8%
- SG&A increased 14.5% to $0.891 million from $0.778 million due to:
- Increased costs for health, dental, liability, and workers' compensation insurance
- Increased marketing and sales expenses for travel and scientific meetings/conferences
- Expanded staff, as well as increased salaries and bonuses to existing staff
- All facility rent and related expenses are now charged to Simulations Plus after sale of Words+
- As a percent of revenues, SG&A increased to 32.2% from 29.5%
- R&D expense increased 129% to $228,000 from $100,000 due to:
- Staff expansions as well as salary and bonus increases for existing staff
- Investments in our new chemical entity (NCE) project designing molecules for malaria
- Income before taxes decreased 5.4% to $1.29 million from $1.37 million due to higher SG&A expenses and higher R&D investment
- Net income from continuing operations decreased 16.8% to $869,000 from $1,044,000
- Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.05 ($0.053) per share compared to $0.07 ($0.066) per share
- Cash increased 30.3% to $12.89 million from $9.89 million, after paying dividends of $1.6 million
- Shareholders' equity increased 13.0% to $15.6 million from $13.8 million.
For the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 (9moFY12) compared to the first nine months of FY2011 (9moFY11):
- Net sales increased 6.8% to a new 9-month record $7.81 million from $7.31 million
- Gross profit increased 9.1% to $6.62 million from $6.07 million
- Gross margin increased to 84.8% from 83.0%
- SG&A increased 15.1% to $2.55 million from $2.21 million for the reasons cited above
- As a percent of revenues, SG&A increased to 32.6% from 30.3% compared to 9moFY11
- R&D expense increased 73.9% to $745,000 from $428,000
- Income before taxes increased 2.2% to $3.62 million from $3.54 million
- Net income from continuing operations decreased 0.97% to $2.463 million from $2.487 million
- Net income including discontinued operations increased 5.9% to $2.68 million from $2.53 million
- Total diluted earnings per share increased 6.2% to $0.17 ($0.167) from $0.16 ($0.157)
Ms. Momoko Beran, chief financial officer of Simulations Plus, said: "Nonrecurring charges and other elements of increased SG&A had an impact on gross profit and pretax earnings for the first nine months. SG&A increases over last year's first nine months included a one-time charge for our M&A consultants for the sale of our former Words+ subsidiary, increases in overhead staff and salaries, increased marketing and sales expenses, increased year-end bonuses, and the fact that we now accrue 100% of the building lease and facility-related expenses to SG&A, which includes the 50% that had previously been paid by Words+. Words+ continues to rent a smaller portion of the building (20%) but their contribution to the building leases and related costs is not included in SG&A, but is reported as Other Income. Last quarter we estimated that SG&A would be somewhat higher going forward by approximately $130,000 per quarter, and in fact, for the first nine months it is higher by about $334,000, or slightly more than $111,000 per quarter to date. We have increased our R&D spending both by increasing the scientific staff and through our investment in our malaria new chemical entity (NCE) project, resulting in the 129% increase in R&D for the third quarter and 73.9% increase for the first nine months. During the third quarter we paid both our first and our second ongoing quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share per quarter, totaling just under $1.6 million. Even after paying both dividends, cash increased by just over 30% from last year's third quarter. As of yesterday, cash was approximately $13.3 million."

Add a CommentThis is a wonderful book.
The flow is flawless and the adventures is gripping. I want to bury myself in this wonderfully descriptive world, over and over and over again.
Anyone looking for an exciting adventure to drown in has found a perfect book here
Not a single book in this trilogy disappoints.
the concepts in this book fascinate me. I think the pictures give you an even better idea of what the author describes. seeing the giant walkers, and the fabricated beasts is something I really like about this book. its also amazing how well the author warps reality to make a story in which a prince and a girl pretending to be a boy, come to depend on each other.
AWESOME I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH IT IS A MUST READ AND THE SEQUELS ARE EVEN BETTER!!! and they have to make a movie of it!!!
It was cool how they were making the animals more attentive to humans but I wish it were set more into the future rather than the past.
If u liked this book I recomend half-made world & Ransom city as well as mortal engines p.s. I want a thylacine -_-
An amazingly crafted alternative steampunk history of the World War. I loved the Clanker vs Darwinist theme as well as the innovative method of cursing. Strong protagonists that balance each other out well. Entertaining and gorgeously illustrated!
I wish there were more books like this. It isn't a paranormal love triangle fantasy, like many books today are. It's more of an alternate history novel with creative technology. The story sticks to various parts of history but still has an unpredictable plot, and the characters are very fun to read about. Try it! :D

Deryn swallowed, then pointed at the screen. "He makes me feel like that. Like flying."
"And a special thanks for not burning up the whole ship. Including yourself, you daft bum-rag."
"No, but have you Clankers ever made a train that can hunt for its own food, or heal itself, or reproduce?"~Dylan (Deryn,) page 273
Add a NoticeOther: No, it is not a stupid book. It is amazing and well imagined, with great characters and a cool plot.
Frightening or Intense Scenes: There is a lot of fighting in the book nothing to gorey or anything. But it's world war I what do you expect?
Add a SummaryAlek and "Dylan" Sharp are thrown together in a race to keep their secrets--one hiding his heritage, the other his --or is it her?-- gender.
Altogether a thrilling steampunk novel.
Prince Aleksander is on the run from the germans. With his parents dead, he flees to a secret safe house in Switzerland.
Deryn Sharp is disguised as a boy named Dylan, so she can fly. When the ship she works on crashes on a Switzerland glacier, things don't look good. Until she meets a mysterious boy named Alek...
Alek is a clanker; Deryn is a darwinist. But when they work together, they might just be able to find a way off of the glacier.
A steampunk fantasy about World War one that never was...

Friendly Fish Kisses — Worst Cooks in America Caption It
by Maria Russo in Recipes, February 22nd, 2013We're just one week into the fourth season of Worst Cooks in America, and if the first day of Boot Camp was any indication, Chef Anne was correct when she promised the recruits, "This is going to be a brutal seven weeks." In the premiere episode, the contestants reluctantly said goodbye to their most prized kitchen possession — the microwave — and attempted to embrace from-scratch cooking by tackling a familiar favorite: meat and potatoes. Some finalists rose to the challenge, turning out dishes that were shockingly impressive for their first tries, while others offered plates that proved barely palatable to mentors Bobby and Anne.
For at least a short time on Sunday's brand-new episode, it seems from the sneak-peek photo above that the recruits are leaving their cares over the kitchen behind and embarking on a hands-on fishing trip. Here, "Primetime 99″ Alex Stein not only poses with his prized catch of the day but lays a few fish kisses on it as well, proving that at least one of the recruits finds success on the high seas. Do you think the other contestants will get as up close and personal with their scaly friends as Alex did, or will some shy away from these underwater creatures?
Before you tune in this Sunday at 9pm/8c to find out which competitors make it past week two of Boot Camp, we're challenging you, Worst Cooks in America fans, to write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this offshore moment in the comments below.
Think you have what it takes to make it at Boot Camp? Take Food Network's Worst Cooks in America Culinary Quiz to find out.

You forgot Poland
Part of a series on YTMND. [View Related Entries]
"You forgot Poland" is a popular catchphrase adopted by George W. Bush's detractors to poke fun at his tactless rebuttal during the first debate of US Presidential elections in 2004. Since the rise of Bushism and related jokes in the mid-2000s, "You forgot Poland" has become one of the most recognizable quotes uttered by the former US president.
The first round of Bush-Kerry Presidential debate was held at the University of Miami on the evening of September 30th, 2004. One of the more interesting questions prompted by the moderator Jim Lehrer was "Are Americans now dying in Iraq for a mistake?", referring to the declining public approval of US military operations in Iraq that began in March 2003.
In answering the question, Senator John Kerry (D) essentially advocated the presence of US troops in Iraq, but also accused the incumbent president of failing to round up adequate international support and lacking necessary skills in diplomacy.
Sen. John Kerry: "Secondly, when we went in, there were three countries: Great Britain, Australia and the United States. That's not a grand coalition. We can do better."
Moderator: Thirty seconds, Mr. President.
President Bush: "Well, actually, he forgot Poland." And now there's 30 nations involved, standing side by side with our American troops.
In response to Senator Kerry's sharp criticism, President Bush began his rebuttal by pointing out that Kerry forgot to mention "Poland" as part of the Iraqi invasion coalition. Indeed, Poland was technically credited as one of the four countries that helped van-guarding the invasion, but in the context of the debate, it seemed largely irrelevant whether the coalition consisted of three or four nations, as neither scenario fit the description of "grand coalition" headlined by the Bush administration in the early phase of the war.
Less than two hours after the debate, photographer Michael James sought to profit from this by creating Youforgotpoland.org and a Cafepress Store.
Although the search queries for "you forgot Poland" died down soon after the event, it went on to become a long-lived YTMND meme spanning years.
YTMND Sites
Excerpt from YTMND Wiki:
The You forgot Poland YTMNDs from 2004 were satirical references to George W. Bush's unanticipated retort to John Kerry during the 2004 Presidential Electoral Debate. John Kerry had omitted Poland as a member of the coalition participating on the War on Terror (whether or not this was intentional is debated) and Bush took it upon himself to enlighten Kerry.
The newer Forgot Poland sites contain no real world political message. This type of YTMND is quickly becoming popular, though it has very little to do with the original "forgot poland" political fad. The original YTMND was posted by deevo in October of 2004 (which is now deleted). Since then, "Forgot Poland" sites merged with the influences of DaltonofZeal2, Kassius, and AegisReflector to pull away from lame political jokes and pushed more towards its own unique realm
The first "You Forgot Poland" YTMND that shows up in a search was created on October 3rd, 2004 by Stevesbored and currently has 29,000 views.
The YTMND satirizes Bush's insistance that Poland played an important part, but equating it with Melvin's Stapler, a running joke in the film Office Space that is popular amongst YTMNDers.
The most viewed "You Forgot Poland" YTMND was created on October 5th, 2004 by zachbg and has over 46,000 views. The YTMND mashes the meme together with Eminem's "Forgot About Dre."
The highest rated of these YTMNDs is a more skilled mashup of Poland with "Forgot about Dre" created by Nitesky on April 27th, 2008.
There are a total of 286 "forgot poland" YTMNDs that have been produced steadily from 2004 through 2009. See the YTMND search results for the most up to date stats.
Another theme of many of these YTMNDS is low quality sound (the aforementioned Bush quote – and other clips from the same context like "30 seconds" – "KHAAAN!!", "NOOOO!!" etc., see YTMND Wiki for a more complete listing), extreme sound volume, messy visuals and the message "VOTE 5" inserted in one way or another
"Polend" (as the word is often intentionally misspelled) sites form the most notable subcategory (along with KHANTMNDs) of noise sites (not a term in general use), which share the characteristics of noisiness and intentional sloppiness. All noise sites sharply divide the YTMND public (the YTMNDrs who hate Poland sites are referred frequently to as "Poland forgetters")
Makers of Poland sites are "organized" as Forgot Poland Army (FPA), the "official" board of which is found here

The Obama administration will kick off one of the most sweeping changes in immigration policy in decades today, allowing an estimated 1.7 million young undocumented immigrants to apply for the temporary right to live and work openly in the United States without fear of deportation.
Immigrants have waited for final details of the plan in the two months since President Obama pledged to brush aside years of congressional stalemate over the Dream Act and grant de facto residency to qualified immigrants who were brought to the country as children.
On Tuesday, officials surprised advocacy groups by posting the application forms online one day early. Advocates across the country are planning to hold workshops Wednesday for hundreds of immigrants eager to learn who will qualify and how to apply.
Families have been scrambling to assemble school records, utility bills and other documents that may be needed, they said.
"People are very, very anxious to file, so we've been telling them to over-prepare," said Emid Gonzalez, manager of legal services at CASA de Maryland. The group has scheduled an afternoon workshop Wednesday at which she expects to see family documents by the armload. "The phone has been ringing off the hook."
The program is open to immigrants ages 15-31 who came to the country before they were 16 years old and have lived here continuously for at least the past five years. Among other restrictions, they must be free of serious criminal convictions, be enrolled in or completed high school or have served in the U.S. military. On Tuesday, officials confirmed those enrolled in GED programs and certain training programs will also qualify, broadening its potential reach.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service also provided a list of documents it will accept as proof of continuous residency, including tax receipts, bank records and church confirmation and other religious records.
The protected status has to be renewed every two years. And the program's name, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, may lack the aspirational heft of the "Dream Act." But immigration advocates are treating today's launch as a great victory.
"This is single largest opportunity we've had since [the amnesty program of] 1986 to bring people out of the shadows and into documented status," said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.), who led efforts to pass the Dream Act in the House only to see it fail in the Senate in 2010. "We've got to take advantage of it. Our goal should be to sign them up, sign them up, sign them up."

Is parole working for serious offenders?
Does parole genuinely help people transition back to life out of prison, or does it put the community at undue risk of criminals who might reoffend?
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
46-year-old Terrence John Leary has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent to have sexual intercourse, and grievous bodily harm with intent to murder over the alleged attack on Wednesday.
Court documents reveal he was released into the community on parole last August, after serving 22 years of a 24 year sentence for the murder of a 17-year-old Vanessa Hoson in 1990.
The Victorian Government is currently considering making a breach of parole a criminal offence, and Corrective Services NSW is already conducting a review into the handling of serious sex offenders on parole.
Pauline Wright is the chair of the New South Wales Law Society Criminal Law Committee, and says, "It's not a broken system. What we have is broken individuals. No law is going to stop them from committing these offences. Nothing you bring in in law, no brilliant government draftsperson is going to be able to draft something to stop those individuals who just are bad people."

Redeemer students' tests suggest Hamilton really a City of Fecal Falls
By Richard Leitner, News Staff
Illegal sewer hookups are once again being blamed as the likely source of "super high levels" of fecal contamination at three escarpment waterfalls along Chedoke Creek.
Biweekly tests by Redeemer University College chemistry students this fall found the worst pollution at Mountview Falls, whose flows run beneath the stretch of Chedoke radial trail where the city installed a new pedestrian bridge in January.
Coliform counts there averaged 342,000 per 100 ml of water and were as high as one million – the latter more than 400 times the provincial limit of 2,400.
Readings for E. coli were also highest there, averaging 550 times the limit for recreational use, as were those for other indicators of sewage, like phosphate, nitrate, ammonium and biological oxygen demand.
Testing at waterfalls to the east – by the escarpment stairs at Cliffview Park and the eastern edge of Chedoke golf course – also found fecal contamination of up to 100 times the provincial limit.
"These falls are disgusting sometimes," said Greg Beekman, one of 10 students who conducted the tests as part of a class project.
He said the results are consistent with an initial hypothesis that contamination would be worst downstream of older housing surveys on the Mountain suspected of having illegal sewer hookups.
Testing of two waterfalls downstream of newer, smaller surveys to the west – by Scenic Park and in Iroquoia Heights Conservation Area – found far less pollution.
Beekman said while the city is aware some homes in the older surveys may have been built with sewage lines connected to the storm sewer, rather than sanitary sewer, fixing the problem is costly and complex.
But he said all city residents should be concerned because the contamination poses a potential health threat and Chedoke Creek flows into Cootes Paradise and Hamilton Harbour, contributing to algae blooms that smother aquatic life.
The situation is also not helping Hamilton's bid to rebrand itself as the City of Waterfalls, he added.
"The waterfalls are too contaminated to even touch," Beekman said. "I, myself, before I did these tests, would go and play in these waterfalls and climb them, whatever, not knowing there was a problem, but obviously it's not safe."
The latest tests amplify ones conducted last year as part of the remedial action plan on the harbour. They recorded coliform counts of up to 150,000.
Tys Theysmeyer, a Royal Botanical Gardens ecologist who is involved in efforts to rehabilitate Cootes Paradise and the harbour, said the students' "tremendous work" signals the importance of addressing a problem common to older municipalities.
He said one of the biggest challenges is to get people to accept that the city will have to spend more money to properly manage Hamilton's water.
"I know that at the city they're struggling with the situation that we haven't valued clean water very much," Theysmeyer said. "At the end of the day, water is the most important thing to life. Without water, you can't live. You can't beat that one."
Mark Bainbridge, who oversees the city's harbour cleanup efforts, acknowledged illegal sewer hookups are the likely cause of the Chedoke contamination and said an ongoing pilot project is trying to identify the scope of the problem.
He said fixing a connection can cost $15,000 per home, making it an expensive proposition because the pilot program is also assessing two other areas, including by Red Hill Creek.
Bainbridge said the city has corrected about 50 hookups so far and the students' test results can help create the public awareness to support further action.
"It is going to be a slow, methodical process to figure this out," he said, noting the city has done a variety of tests in sewers to try to find improper hookups. "It's not going to be a simple, clear and easy fix."

The character of Assisi is rich in a mystical spiritual aura and Italian cultural heritage. The spirit of Saint Francis and Clara, which exemplified simplicity and reverence for life and creation permeates. The Italian network of Catholic convents, offer a step above hostel approximte accomodations, with comparable rates. The offering is one of safe, clean surroundings and three sit-down meals a day, if you are able to partake. You need not be Catholic. While staying in such a convent, we met a sabaticaled Priest, who knew the hamlet intimately. He took us, and other travelers from Argentina and South Africa, on hikes through the narrow, picturesque, cobblestone streets. report a problem

Anastos Speaks at Big Ten Hockey Media Day
Can't wait for hockey season?
Until the Spartans play their Green and White game to kick off the preseason, here are some MSU related bits from Big Ten Hockey Media Day at Joe Louis Arena.
Can't wait for hockey season?
Until the Spartans play their Green and White game to kick off the preseason, here are some MSU related bits from Big Ten Hockey Media Day at Joe Louis Arena.
Michigan State's Big Ten schedule has been announced and, like last year, the Spartans will face each of their Big Ten conference foes four times during the regular season.
The major difference is that this year the Big Ten Tournament will be held at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit as opposed to Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
Also, no word has come as to the date of the annual Joe Louis game between the Spartans and the Wolverines.
The playoffs have come and gone quickly for the Red Wings this season, as they took an early five game loss to the Boston Bruins to close out a roller coaster season.
Game One fell in favor of the Red Wings with a beautiful goal scored by veteran Pavel Datsyuk with three minutes left in the third period – giving a victory to the Wings at TD Garden to lead off the series.

The Red Wings took on the Montreal Canadiens at Joe Louis Arena on Friday evening. With a good showing from young Riley Sheahan and a strong return from veteran Daniel Alfredsson, the Wings put a solid hold on a declining Canadiens team.
Sheahan had family and friends in the stands during Friday night's game, giving him a bit more motivation to score because the Sheahans are Habs faithful. He scored the second goal of the game, rocketing a wrist shot over the glove hand of Carey Price with 8:12 remaining in the second period.
After an unexpected visit at the Great Lakes Invitational, Michigan State and Michigan butted heads once again in there annual showdown at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Thursday evening.
Two games, two neutral arenas, and now, two different winners. After being shutout by the Spartans in the consolation game at the GLI, the Michigan Wolverines evened the series with the Spartans.
DETROIT – The Michigan State Spartans (8-11-3) and Michigan Wolverines (11-6-2) faced-off at Joe Louis Arena in their second clash of the season. Michigan's Phil Di Giuseppe scored with 2:18 remaining to brake a 1-1 tie and even the series.
A long-anticipated rivalry game since the 2013 Western Conference Semifinals was played at Joe Louis Arena on Wednesday when the Blackhawks came into Detroit to take on the Red Wings.
From the starting gate the two teams were quick, gritty and ready to put the puck in the net. The Blackhawks hit the scoreboard first with a goal from Marian Hossa, that was quickly followed by a second goal two and a half minutes later from Andrew Shaw to put the Hawks up 2-0 with 9:30 to play in the first period.
The Detroit Red Wings lost another game to a Western Conference foe Monday night when they faced off against the St. Louis Blues at the Joe Louis Arena.
The game's first goal came at 11:13 into the first period with a backhand shot from Blues winger Magnus Paajarvi. Red Wing Gustav Nyquist then cleaned up the trash in front of the Blues' net with 27 seconds left in the first to tie the game at one apiece.
The Detroit Red Wings have not played up to their full potential this year.
The team is currently sitting in fifth place in the Atlantic Division with 52 points after 48 games played. With the long list of injuries still in the forefront of everyone's brain, the Wings are in a predicament that could cost them their 22-season streak of consecutive playoff appearances.
The Detroit Red Wings faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday evening. Tomas Tatar continued his hot streak with another goal that came early in the first period. And while the Red Wings were playing with poise throughout the first and second periods, the third was another story. The Flyers netted three goals past Jimmy Howard and then a fourth to seal the game on an empty net, and they won the game 6-3. Read More…
The Detroit Tigers traded Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers Wednesday in a blockbuster move that landed Detroit star second baseman, Ian Kinsler.

The Detroit Red Wings four game losing stint has come to a close. With a showcase of talents from newbies and veterans alike, the Wings took a win on Wednesday, 2-1, over the Canucks in Vancouver.

Ninety-five percent of public libraries currently offer ebooks to patrons, up from 72 percent in 2010, and 89 percent in both 2012 and 2013. However, money remains the biggest impediment for libraries looking to add ebooks or expand collections, according to Library Journal's fifth annual Ebook Usage in U.S. Public Libraries report, sponsored by Freading. The growth in demand for ebooks has cooled during the past four years, although as the report notes, this "is only because [ebooks] have become less of a novelty and more mainstream."
Stories contributed by LJ staffers to The Digital Shift.
OverDrive API Usage Indicates Growth of Ebook Checkouts via OPAC
OverDrive is currently processing 350 million API server calls per month, and has supported 1.3 million checkouts via APIs to date in 2014, according to internal data given to LJ. API use has also risen steadily each quarter, with almost 233,000 checkouts during the first three months of the year, more than 529,000 in Q2, an estimated 692,000 in Q3, and a projection of at least 1 million during the final three months of the year.

When superstorm Sandy hit the east coast in October 2012, the Queens Library (QL) in New York was among many northeastern library systems affected. QL persevered, continuing to offer crucial services in storm-ravaged communities while rebuilding damaged branches. The system also managed to turn a generous corporate donation into an innovative new platform for tablet computers, enabling a tech lending program that has since continued to grow.

The Policy Gap
The following is an excerpt from Digital Literacy and Digital Inclusion: Information Policy and the Public Library (Rowman & Littlefield, Aug. All rights reserved.) Federal policies in the United States rely on public libraries to promote digital literacy and digital inclusion. Yet, public libraries are predominantly excluded from the funding made available for digital literacy and digital inclusion, as well as from the decision-making processes.

Joint conference with faculty from Tumaini University - CALL FOR PAPERS
Wednesday, October 4, 2006 (Around 8 years ago)
The ELCA Vocation and Education unit announces the second symposium of Partners for Educational Progress: An alliance between the colleges, universities and seminaries of the ELCA and Tumaini University of the ELCT in Tanzania.
The symposium will take place at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois from April 20 — 27, 2007. The topic is: "Globalization and Social Responsibility: The Role of the Lutheran University." We are planning a week-long seminar, including field trips to the Chicago region, a public forum, and class presentations by the participants. We anticipate that eight faculty members from Tanzania and sixteen faculty members from different Lutheran colleges, universities, and seminaries in the United States will be selected as participants.
The purpose of the symposium is to bring together faculty from the two cultures that are interested in continuing collaboration on joint research projects and in development of curricular materials. Participants in the symposium are expected to contribute an original research paper that addresses the theme of the symposium. Abstracts for proposed papers will be reviewed; upon acceptance, participants are requested to develop a 5-10,000 word paper for the symposium.
The United Nations Eight Millennium Development Goals offer points of reference for consideration in development of research topics: eradication of poverty and hunger, education, gender equality, reduced child mortality, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases and ensuring environmental sustainability. Anticipating research representing many disciplines and international in scope, this symposium will not only enhance a shared sense of the world's interconnectedness and interdependency but also demonstrate the intersection of research, curriculum and civic responsibility for faith related institutions.
The institutions where the American participants teach will be expected to contribute $500 toward the travel costs of participants. Thanks to a generous grant from the Siebert Lutheran Foundation, all other expenses will be covered by the organizers of the symposium.
Faculty interested in submitting an abstract may do so electronically to the program director, Dr. Shoonie Hartwig, at email@example.com. The abstract should be in her hands no later than December 10, 2006 accompanied by a letter of support from your academic dean/provost and a brief resume. Selection of participants will be announced in early January.
For further information, please contact Dr. Hartwig or one of the ELCA organizers, Dr. Arne Selbyg at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ms. Marilyn Olson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

THURSDAY, April 19 (HealthDay News) -- There were 222 cases and 17 outbreaks of the measles in the United States last year, more than four times the usual annual rate, U.S. health authorities reported Thursday.
"In 2011, we had the most number of reported measles in the U.S. in 15 years," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the prior decade, an average of 60 cases and four outbreaks were reported annually.
As of last Friday, CDC had received reports of 27 cases of measles for 2012, though "it is too soon in the year to know whether this year will be as bad or worse than last year," said Schuchat, who spoke at a news conference on Thursday.
The highly infectious illness seems to be making an unexpected comeback. Measles was declared eliminated in 2000 after public health measures successfully interrupted the transmission of disease from person-to-person in the United States. The disease is still endemic in many other parts of the world, however.
In fact, 200 of the 222 U.S. cases in 2011 were related to foreign travel, with 72 of the cases emerging in people who had recently traveled abroad, more than half of them to Europe, which has experienced its own explosion in the disease in recent years.
Authorities weren't able to determine the source in the other 22 cases.
Although the United States has a high vaccination rate of 90 percent, "measles is extremely infectious and very good at finding those few people who aren't vaccinated," Schuchat warned.
Of the 196 U.S. residents who had measles in 2011, 166 were unvaccinated or didn't know if they'd been vaccinated, although 141 were eligible to be vaccinated, the CDC report found.
Sixty-six percent of the 141 who were eligible for vaccination were between the ages of 16 mont

We all know what causes stress and we all know that stress is bad for you. What is less well known is exactly how stress affects your body and how massage reverses the physiological effects of stress.
Our bodies have a complex reaction to stress. A "fight or flight" reaction of the sympathetic nervous system gears the body for heavy physical exertion. Blood pressure increases and cholesterol is released into the bloodstream. Breathing becomes rapid and shallow and heart rate increases. Muscles tense and blood rushes to the extremities to prepare them for action.
If the "fight or flight" reaction is in fact caused by heavy exertion, then the body naturally returns to the "rest and digest" state, known as the parasympathetic nervous. The parasympathetic system signals the body to lower blood pressure, slow and deepen breathing, slow the heart rate, relax muscles and direct blood into the internal organs to assist metabolic functions.
In our modern lifestyle, however, the stress response is also triggered by daily activitites like sitting at the computer for long hours or simply waiting in traffic. These sedentary activities don't release stress. Stress remains in our bodies causing muscle tightness, high blood pressure, and a sense of fatigue. Over the long-term muscles and blood vessels become less elastic, arteries develop cholesterol placques, digestion becomes sluggish, and sleep doesn't feel refreshing. We find it difficult to ever fully relax even after exercise.
Massage counteracts the effects of stress in our bodies by stimulating the parasympathetic ("rest and digest") system.
Calming strokes send a message to the nervous system that the body is safe. Blood pressure and heart rate return to normal. Breathing slows and deepens. Digestion increases (tummy rumbles are frequent on massage tables). Deep muscle strokes relax constricted muscle fibers and open blood vessels. As a full body treatment returns muscles to a healthy tonus, the chest and abdomen soften and relax and the shoulders lower. The internal organs have more room to operate and receive better blood supply. As the energy held in tense muscles is released, one feels more energetic and exercise is more enjoyable. The deep relaxation achieved with a full body massage allows one to rest comfortably and sleep becomes more rejuvenating.
Massage acts as a natural bio-feedback mechanism. With regular massage, our bodies learn how to return to the "rest and digest" state with more ease. We are less likely to get stuck in the "flight or flight" stress reaction. Hence, we actually learn to deal better with stress on a physiological level. Since our resources aren't wasted on keeping our muscles tense, and we are able to relax more completely when we rest, we have a renewed sense of energy.
Regular massage is an excellent method for combating the effects of stress and enhancing one's health. Reducing one's stress response feels good at the time and feels even better the next day. Not only does massage feel fantastic, it is also fantastic for your health!
When it comes to massage, Seattle leads the way among U.S. cities in terms of the popularity of therapeutic massage and the level of knowledge among Seattle residents about the health benefits of massage. Seattle massage schools are also regarded as among the best in the country, graduating massage therapists that are able to skillfully combine both the relaxation and the treatment aspects of massage.
Dreamclinic is proud to be a Seattle-based massage
- Practicing massage in Seattle allows us to attract to our team some
of the top graduates from local massage schools.
- Practicing massage in Seattle allows us to offer a valuable emerging
wellness service in a city where it is understood and appreciated.
- Lastly, practicing massage in Seattle allows us to promote
highest standards for the massage profession and to continue to
contribute to the general education of the population about massage.

One of the challenges of writing about the Bulger killing is confronting the enormity of what happened to James, and its catastrophic impact on his family. To hear the interview with James's father Ralph Bulger on Radio Four yesterday morning is to hear a man driven to the very edge of self-destruction by the tragedy that befell him.
