Gallery: Telesar V is a Groundbreaking Telexistance Robot
The groundbreaking Telexitstance Robot Telesar V from researchers at Japan's Keio University could bring us a step closer to a real out of body experience. The creators of Telesar V claim that the robot avatar can not only accurately mimic the movements of its operator, but also transmit back sensory experience to the user. Wearing a headset with virtual reality goggles, the user can see and hear what the robot 'experiences', and through a pair of sensor equipped gloves feel the shape and temperature of objects Telesar V touches or picks up.
While Telexistance technology may seem fantastical, its aim to "free people from time and space constraints" could have revolutionary applications for conducting precise work in critical situations such as those encountered in the wake of last year's Fukushima Disaster.
The research which led to the development of Telesar V is led by Professor Susumu Tachi, who first proposed the concept of Telexistance in 1980, while working on a robot guide dog. The researchers have come a long way from their initial models some 20 years ago. While they still hope to advance to greater levels of human precision in the robot's movement, it already boasts the same degree of freedom in it's arms as a human has, and close to human levels of dexterity in its hands and can presently recognize surface unevenness as fine as the top of a LEGO block. Check out this video from DigInfo.tv of Telesar V in action!

New OSU Leader: Ohio State Commits $400M To Affordability Effort
Ohio State University's newest president says the institution is committing $400 million over five years to lower students' costs and improve the value of their education.
Tonight, WOSU hosted the last official debate before the August 4th special election to increase Columbus' income tax from 2% to 2.5%.
Democrats and Republicans continue to debate the effectiveness of federal stimulus dollars that were provided to states earlier this year.
The issue of balancing the budget through slot machines at racetracks has divided people who normally hold similar views. Ohio Public Radio's Karen Kasler sat down with two conservatives who have very different opinions on expanding gambling through the state budget.
Much has been made of the arrest of an African American Harvard Professor. President Obama first said the officer acted stupidly, then shared a beer with him and the professor. WOSU commentator Andrew Grant Thomas says the problem of racial profiling is much deeper than presidential politics and a glass of suds.
Ohio Congressman Zach Space is one of the so-called Blue Dog Democrats that have negotiated a delay on a health care vote until September.
Columbus voters Tuesday will decide whether to raise the city's income tax. Despite the state-wide recession, no other major city in Ohio faces the cuts Columbus faces. And no other city is asking voters for a tax increase. WOSU looks at some of the reasons why.
Despite more reasonable energy costs and a weak economy, the solar panel industry is booming. Homeowners could purchase solar panels at a fraction of the cost as a result of federal and state rebates.
The passage of the state budget is forcing the Columbus Metropolitan Library to make cuts across the board. The system is dealing with a 31% reduction in funding – and library officials say both patrons and staff will feel the impact.
Voters have been casting their absentee ballots for the proposed income tax increase for three weeks – and the number of absentee ballot requests indicates more people than usual could turn out to vote.
The U.S. Government is sending $12.7 million to Columbus so the city can hire 50 police officers. Vice President Joe Biden an U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement Tuesday in Washington.

Then in 2008 a sequel was announced, this time being handled by newly formed 2K Marin, which included a core group of ex-2K Boston developers. The sequel is set 10 years after the events of the first game, still in the underwater city of Rapture, but featuring a different protagonist. In BioShock 2, you play as a Big Daddy.

How do I get maximum sparks when grinding?
Hey guys, I know this is an odd question as generally, you want not too much sparks for safety.
I perform with an angle grinder on stage to create 'fireworks' off a plate (with guards) on a belt on my body.
I use steel at the moment, with a standard grinding disc, and a battery operated 750 watt 4.5 grinder.
I'm not getting as much bang as I would like.
Is there a different kind of metal OR maybe a cutting disc that would give me more sparks? although, a cutting disc sounds much more dangerous than a grinding disc.
OR for more sparks is it a simple case or more power, more sparks.
Any tips and advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! :)
You're looking sparkling HOT!
>>standard grinding disc, and a battery operated 750 watt 4.5 grinder.So,..what's the cord doing then,...get it, to look more dramatic.
I would experiment with differant steel, I'm thinking low carbon steel.
But now I'm thinking of something more dramatic effect and allot safer.
You would need some help,..getting a bunch of flints, perhaps from a welding supply, about a hundred or so, the type with a screw on end. Then a hundred or so little bolts what fits that thread.
Now, making a steel plate up, drill a hundred or so holes
through that plate and bolt the flints on. You have now a steel plate with sduded flints and now you need to test what wheel works best.
You don't need a grinding disk anymore,..thinking of just a plane flat, [perhaps knurled] steel wheel about 1/4inch wide. Somebody in a machineshop can make up.
Just hinking how to dublicate the spark effect, say 50 times more then you'll get on single hand flint, the one used to start a welding torch.
Before spending a bunch of money, do a test with one flint only first, I'm tinking to use a dremel wheel, try a wood cutting wheel, diamont etc. first and experiment.

Orlando Allen (1803–1874) was a member of the New York State Assembly and the 18th Mayor of the City of Buffalo, New York. Allen began his political career as City Treasurer, followed by two separate terms as Second Ward Alderman. He served an extended single term as Mayor after being appointed in January 1848. He was elected to a full term in March of that year, and served until the term expired in 1849, when he declined to run for a second term. He was a member of the State Assembly in 1850 and 1851. He later served on the Buffalo Board of Supervisors, representing the Second Ward in 1856–1857, before winning one final term in the State Assembly in 1860. He ran for most of his offices as a Whig, however, after the collapse of that party, he served his final term in the Assembly as a Republican.

Neighbor Unreachability Detection Is Too Impatient
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery includes Neighbor Unreachability Detection.
That function is very useful when a host has an alternative neighbor
-- for instance, when there are multiple default routers -- since it
allows the host to switch to the alternative neighbor in a short
time. By default, this time is 3 seconds after the node starts
probing. However, if there are no alternative neighbors, this
timeout behavior is far too impatient. This document specifies
relaxed rules for Neighbor Discovery retransmissions that allow an
implementation to choose different timeout behavior based on whether
or not there are alternative neighbors. This document updates RFC

1. Introduction
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery [RFC4861] includes Neighbor Unreachability
Detection (NUD), which detects when a neighbor is no longer
reachable. The timeouts specified for NUD are very short (by
default, three transmissions spaced one second apart). These short
timeouts can be appropriate when there are alternative neighbors to
which the packets can be sent -- for example, if a host has multiple
default routers in its Default Router List or if the host has a
Neighbor Cache Entry (NCE) created by a Redirect message. In those
cases, when NUD fails, the host will try the alternative neighbor by
redoing the next-hop selection. That implies picking the next router
in the Default Router List or discarding the NCE created by a
Redirect message, respectively.
The timeouts specified in [RFC4861] were chosen to be short in order
to optimize scenarios where alternative neighbors are available.
However, when there is no alternative neighbor, there are several
benefits to making NUD probe for a longer time. One benefit is to
make NUD more robust against transient failures, such as spanning

tree reconvergence and other layer 2 issues that can take many
seconds to resolve. Marking the NCE as unreachable, in that case,
causes additional multicast on the network. Assuming there are IP

The U.S. has been the most benevolent global leader in world history.
No other power has shared values such as democracy, trade and freedom.
Not the Roman Empire. Not the Persian Empire. No even the British Empire.
Not even Ancient China, Greece and Egypt.
If Brazil rises, it won't replace the U.S. or even match it in its benelovence.
Most likely, Brazilians will export their dysfunctionality like this:
"unfortunatetly it doesn't seem like NAFTA helped - certainly not like the EU providing money, markets, moral support to say Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland in the 1970s/1980s."
The point you provide has not failed to be noted by the Mexican intelligentsia.On the other side,look:all of those nations except Spain are now bankrupt.But they have undeniably advanced, both politically and economically.Who in London would have thought in the Thatcher years that the Irish would have a 10% higher pci than Britons as of today, even after the crisis?
Pre-EU-membership Spain,Portugal and Greece were nations just out of military dictatorships, politically and socially underdeveloped, while now they are part of the European mainstream, never mind they overplayed the borrowing roulette these last few years. Core UE nations set up transfer payments via "cohesion funds" and "harmonizing" EU directives (i.e. bring them up to Core EU standards),and as a result now Poland and Spain are "core" members.
This was a strategic decision: France and Germany wish to be surrounded by strong nations of similar values.
US relations towards Latin America have been quite the opposite; it has been stated in word and deed that the US should not allow any nation in the Western Hemisphere to become a competing power.This doctrine explains why NAFTA although mutually beneficial has fallen short of expectations and even shorter of its possibilities.
One consequence is than South American nations are going their own way and learned to mistrust America. In Mexico´s case the policy may seem more justified in the eyes of some, since Mexicans have not digested 1848, even though their economic decisions of the last fifteen years suggest otherwise.
In any case if you see Mexico pre-NAFTA and compare it with nowadays, it has not advanced in any significant political manner, in fact rule of law and public responsibility have eroded as has the power of the federal government, which is the only functional government level in Mexico.Democracy has advanced very little;the current President may have risen to power through fraud,for example.
Economically there have been advances, although in the last ten years Mexico has grown in pci less than China just in the last year.
Good points. Somehow Mexico moved from Import Substitution, a bureaucratic form of economic nationalism of the 1940s, to a Washington conference of the 1990s.
Not sure whether Import Substitution hit a wall, due to the drop in the oil industry, the huge debts, or an actual idealogical shift (say a reaction to the PRI running everything since the 1930s)?
unfortunatetly it doesn't seem like NAFTA helped - certainly not like the EU providing money, markets, moral support to say Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland in the 1970s/1980s.
Then you have Americans complain about immigration and jobs draining to Mexico, although many manufacturing jobs/installations were probably sent to China, while Mexico still has a 100 million person population (one third of the US, like most of the past 200 years), excess labor. Interestingly, illegal immigration is supposedly down, to 11 million from 13 million in better times, with latins comprising the largest percentage, and Mexicans representing the largest American contingent (2/3rds seems to come to mind).
Well trade between Mexico and the Far East should be intereting. Resumes the silver trade of old (and one also wonders about the Japanese, daimyo called Date sent a ship or two; and supposedly the Japanese got the right to trade in New Spain prior to closing the country off).
I think more autonomy is good though; and is disciplining for the US. But, I suspect the ties between America and Mexico will remain strong despite biases - The people have become intertwine to too far extent; and the countries are right next to each other.
@Michael D:
The figures for Argentina aren´t nearly as extreme examples of this China trend, and as for Mexico you know it is economically an appendix of the US, with 80% of its exports northbound.
"back in 2001, during dinner" First answers, best answers.
"does that mean you start having Bismark like concert of Europe alignments"
Comes to mind Francis I, the French catholic king that became an ally of the Turks to counterbalance the power of Spain´s Charles V (whose prisoner in Madrid he was for two years if I remember correctly).Culturally "unnatural" alliances with sound political motives.
South America will use the Chinese so as to become economically independent of the US. They already have. But I see no war or security implications of any kind.Once China becomes too powerful it will be in the interest of the southern continent to reverse the trend.
After WWII we do not have exclusive trade blocks nor restrained access to raw materials.For as long as that remains true, there will be peace and pre-WWII balance of power theory will have only limited current relevance.This was FDR´s idea, pushed against Churchill´s objections, and it has been the key to postwar prosperity and to the end of military conflict between great powers.
Should economic growth lead to scarcity in mineral supply, for example, things would turn nasty and revert to that unfortunate past.
"I see a situation more of greater autonomy for LatAm, and not necessarily a zero sum game between China and the US."
I support your view. But I see one exception: Mexico
Mexico has been led, not always by noble means, into an economically pathological situation of dependence from the US.Half of Mexico´s commercial banking is the hands of Citigroup (the other half are Spanish-originated banks which are increasingly multinational banks with no particular national allegiance).Retailing is dominated by Wall Mart.Immigrant´s remittances plus drug money make up about 5-6% of GDP.80% of trade is with the US.An abrupt re-balancing could take place should a more gentle one keep on being delayed.
Obama needs to show Colombia some love. It's been the US' closest ally in the region - the FTA must be pushed through. Without it, where are Obama's jobs going to come from? There's more analysis on this story here www.colombia-politics.com
My oh my, what a useless article and even more useless comments. There is only one factor of importance regarding the Latin American political reality: the relationship between the "white-ish" elites and the manifold "castas infames" (thus called by colonial authorities). Whoever fails to understand racial-cultural cleavages in the region will fail to understand its political manifestations and Weltanshauung.
In many ways the entire region continues to function as in colonial times, now of course without the officially sanctioned segregation, but still no country has reached the level of Old World nationhood, there isn't a single ethos in society, and thus Latin America is easily subverted and manipulated from outside.
Good figures. No argument with them. Asia has been a godsend for Latin America. Actually I sometimes feel like I can pat myself on the back over it - One time in Lima (back in 2001, during dinner at over at Astrid y Gascon) I was suddenly put on the spot by some businessmen dinner partners on what were the most important trends for LatAm. I didn't have an immediate answer (busy with my dinner, and Spanish wasn't great - didn't pick up on things too quickly), but somehow got China out of my mouth, and then put together a barebones justification after the fact.
Good to see trends follow a flippant remark.
Economicallly I think Asia will increase in importance for LatAM. The question though is does that mean you start having Bismark like concert of Europe alignments and antagonisms reproduced with respect to that region, between the US, EU and/or China? Do you have economic penetration a la railroad concessions in China and the Ottomen Empire of the 19th century being reproduced?
I just don't think the Chinese want to, or can afford to be heavy handed (they need the materials); and not certain that market growth in the near term in this day and age translates into one actor suddenly able to browbeat countries within a certain region.
Also think for now the US retains a good measure of influence. Maybe things will change in 10 years, but on the whole I see a situation more of greater autonomy for LatAm, and not necessarily a zero sum game between China and the US.
Just some casual thoughts.
Some of the most prominent trade unionists murdered in Colombia worked for an Alabama coal company by the name of Drummond. I don't know why this would be an impedence to free trade with that company.
Americans should learn that Brazil is not a "isla de la revolución of Rio del Janiero de las bananas". That´s my impression when I read north americans newspapers. They simply ignore the region and they are satisfied with foolish stereotypes. The problem is that their politicians also think this way. Inside their minds, Latin America is just this: poverty, forests, drugs and bananas.
It´s difficult to convince an american that Brazil is not a island... And imagine how difficult is to convince than that Brazil is the third largest creditor of the American debt.
"Fast and Furious"
Just from the name you get an idea of the mental level of the ATF people who (miss)managed the operation.
King Africa, quite a bombastic tirade, but for better or worse you are mostly right.
US-Latin American relations are like labor relations at Wall-Mart:
You call them Associates but you mean they are just Employees.
@Michael D:
Take a look at these figures:
Brazilian exports in 2005: To the US $ 22 bn, to Argentina 10, to China 6
Brazilian exports in 2010: To the US $ 19 bn, to Argentina 18, to China 30
Exports to the US have decreased by 10%, while exports to China have increased 400%.
Chilean exports in 2005: To the EU $ 7.8 bn, to Mercosur 4.8, to the US 4.8, to Japan 3.7, to South Korea 1.8, to China 3.2
Chilean exports in 2010: To the EU $ 12 bn, to Mercosur 5.5, to the US 7, to Japan 7.5, to South Korea 4, to China 17
Exports to Mercosur have increased 10%, to the US and EU about 50%, to Japan and South Korea, about 100%, and to China, over 400%.
The amounts involved are still relatively small, but if they keep on multiplying by five every five years...
Our South American policies probably suffer from neglected in the last couple of years. Given current climate in Washington however, it was probably a blessing. Regardless whether you are an Obama supporter or not, it is difficult to argue that the climate is too poisoned to execute well. Even good policies will have trouble getting a fair discussion in today's climate.
Regarding arms shipment from the USA: US Congress is attempting to find the responsible persons with this ATF operation called Fast and Furious. It was poorly conceived, poorly planned, and poorly executed. It was suppose to be an operation to track and identify illegal arms trade into Mexico. It allowed criminals to buy arms from legal dealer, and then ATF can track the illegal buyer and criminals down the line. When the legal arms dealer called about suspicious purchases, ATF told them to go ahead. Hundreds of sales were done estimated at about 1800 weapons including the civilian version of the AK47. The only confirmed tracking done was in ONE sale for about two hours before ATF lost track of the weapon. Yet ATF continued to overrule and hide information from local authorities, foreign authorities, and arms dealers' reservations to continue the sales.
At least one US border officer, Brian Terry, was killed with an AK tied to Operation Fast and Furious. What a mess. Officer Brian Terry, a United State Marine, served in Iraq and Afghanistan prior to joining the Border Petrol. RIP, Brian, we thank you for your services to the Nation. Our hearts are with you and your family.
With 1800 weapons, I am sure Officer Brain is not the only victim. Some no doubt were criminals but some were not. RIP to all, hope their families well...
Interesting screed. Did you think of the simplest reason for American policy - Namely the Americans have other priorities, like:
- Sorting out the financial mess from the housing boom
- Winding down the war in Iraq
- Conducting the war in Afpak
- Budgetary issues that flared up
Otherwise, why should there be some big policy with Latin America? Why not let things quietly unfold/develop on their own. You mentioned that leftist governments have been voted in - Well good, I think that changes in political power help political cultures mature.
You talk about alignment with the US, but against whom? China? Russia? One is pretty far away, the other is a petrol state with a declining population.
And why talk of alignment? Why not just have things calm down, and let countries work issues out quietly in a boring fashion?
As for the free trade agreements, well it seems people have some issues and are holdling things up, and it seems they have the right to do that.
As for S. Korea, I believe some spats over beef cropped up to upset the apple cart.
Actually I could see the US take a nasty turn towards protectionism. It wouldn't be hard to do. It happened before during nasty economic times, like in the 1870s and 1930s.
Otherwise, there is relative peace across LatAM and progress, driven by the commodities boom. So maybe some reasons to lighten up.
The article was a bit all over the place, and seemed like an unexciting itemization of some issues in the US. Had to hold off from hitting the recommend button. Only the last two paragraphs seemed interesting on Latin America moving on (which is good; best for countries to find their own way, be autonomous and earn their own accomplishments and pride).
This figure should have been given sooner - $49m in annual funding - Heck the other countries probably should have coughed up the money and say, "fine, go your own way."
As for saying some "new era" is not working out - Well what is new?
Also bemoaning the interference of petty local politics is kind of old hat. As Tip O'Neil once said - "All politics is local"
As a Republican, I suspect that members of the Republican party are being difficult to tie up the administration (as one was supposedly quoted as saying), to play up to the home constituencies over immigration and standing up to Chavez, or they believe their positions honestly.
Aside from the drug war in Mexico, circumstances actually seems pretty decent for more constructive policies between the American states (with both the north and south).
Cuba is an archaic curiousity, and it is unlikely how Chavez's Bolivarian revolution will turn out if he becomes more ill.
As for the free trade agreements, they probably will pass - Columbia and Panama are allies; and Columbia is possibly a very important ally. Democrats had carried the ball before with NAFTA; and heck the Clinton administation sustained negotiations for China joining the WTO (which took place later, in George Bush's term).
If there is going to be any real target for protectionist, or anti trade backlashes, it will likely be directed at China (happened before with immigration in the 19th century).
As for immigration - that flares up occasionally but the reality is America doesn't want to pay for any real modicum of border security. These issues cropped up in the 1980s - they are really old. I think until George Bush there were less than 20,000 border patrol (compared to 40,000 or so New York police). Go figure.
As for Obama not want to pick a fight with the gun lobby - well that is his perogative. For some reason, the gun lobby has a strong following in the US and that is the way it goes.
Somebody please publish here a list of Brazil's accomplishments on the world stage.
King africa Sadly you are exactly correct in your assertions. Yet the US has done a lot of good world wide as well. Even in this last decade.
King africa Sadly you are exactly correct in your assertions. Yet the US has done a lot of good world wide as well. Even in this last decade.
There is a clear difference in Trade between the Northern half of Latinamerica (from Mexico to Colombia) where the U.S. is the Main Trade Partner (with the exception of Cuba), and the Southern half of Latinamerica (Mercosur) where EUROPE (European Union) is the Main Trade Partner.
The clue comes from distance, as Argentina, Uruguay and Southern Brazil (the industrial heart of the country: Sao Paulo) is at the same distance from EUROPE as from the U.S. Apart from that, cultural and political influcence from Europe is as high as that coming from U.S.A. And there is an strong human relationship not just from European colonisation (from Spain and Portugal) but also from immigration as 12 million Europeans immigrated to the Southern half of Latinamerica, not just from Spain and Portugal but also from countries like Italy (more immigrants to Argentina than to the U.S.), Germany, France, Ukraine, Poland etc, etc.
Latiamerica, with a population of 500 million people, can boast a combined economy almost as large as China´s 1300 million people given the fact its income per head is twice as high as that of the Chinese people. 25% of Santander´s revenues come now from Brazil (10% from U.S.A.), which is also an essential partner of Telefonica.
Before making statements on influence and heft today or in the future, maybe some points should be considered. For example:
Population 2010 (thousands) source UN median scenario
Brazil - 194 946
Mexico - 113 423
Population 2050 source UN mediam variant
Brazil - 222 843
Mexico - 143 925
Consider GDP per capita, ppp (2010 CIA World Factbook):
Brazil - $10,800
Mexico - $13,900 (2010 est.)
US - $47,200 (2010 est.)
I don't think you can count the US out too soon. Actually think the US retains more influence than Brazil today, but that could change, and Brazil has acquired considerable prestige, and rightly so.
I am a true conservative in being wary of interventionism. I believe countries should operate along the lines of mutual respect, fairness and compromise.
I hope Brazil and the other LatAm countries can take advantage of the current commodities boom to effect real structural reform and modernization. Particularly with Brazil in establishing a large internal marketing and industrial base.
This is probably the best shot for them since the 1870s to 1913 commodities boom. I had wondered what would have happened if countries like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico had altered their import substitution policies at the time, and followed a export-orientation like Japan and later the little tigers?
Granted Japan was deemed a front line state by the US against the reds; and the LatAm countries seem to lack the same cohesion and stability (and was being treated quite a bit differently by the Norte Americanos).

We Need Sleater-Kinney Now More Than Ever
|Photo by Brigitte Sire
|L-R: Janet Weiss, Corin Tucker, and Carrie Brownstein
Is the music world ready for a riot grrrl revival?
The underground, feminist, post-punk movement saw the return of rock royalty when Sleater-Kinney released their first record in a decade, No Cities to Love. Passion-charged vocals, riff-heavy guitar, bashing drums, and political lyrics gave birth to the group's eighth studio album. Corin Tucker (vocals and guitar), Carrie Brownstein (guitar and vocals), and Janet Weiss (drums) have already managed to release one of the most innovative and authentic rock records of the year.More »

1943 Tasting Notes
This is my first time trying tulsi of any kind. I kept reading the paeans GMathis wrote on its benefits, but I never thought to pick it up. Today, my daughter's orthodontist appointment took me very close to our health food store. I used my few minutes to pick up a box of tulsi and some loose lavender flowers.
Husband and I each had a cup of this. I am so sleepy because I didn't sleep but four hours last night and it has been a very stressful couple of days. I don't know yet if this is reducing stress, but I can comment on the taste,
I don't do a lot of herbals, and I do not like rooibos. Tis, however, is very nice and drinkable, even tasty. I made the mistake (or not) of making a cup of lavender tea at the same time and had just brushed my teeth, but the aroma of the two cups and the taste reminded of Yogi's Bedtime tea, sans the super sweet licorice root. I don't know if it was the tulsi or the lavender bringing it to mind, though.
I can say that if this is really good for me and also truly helps alleviate stress, it will be a pleasure to drink it, rather than an effort. This is tasty, and I hope to find sme loose leaf tulsi soon. I was surprised that there was none in the bulk bins.
Thank you, GMathis, for the recommendation of tulsi and buying lavender from the bulk bins! It is quite a savings over how I bought it before.
I made seven steeps of this tea tonight! I pried off about a teaspoon of leaf and put it in my eight ounce porcelain pot. This was infused three times and poured into a larger pot. The fourth steep was poured directly into our cups and was the first steep we actually drank. Hubby remarked right away at the strength of the tea. Amazing for a fourth to taste like it could be a first steep.
We drank the whole pot of tea after that, and I really wanted more. I went back to the kitchen and made steeps five, six, and seven, once again combining them into a larger pot. (We were watching Lord of the Rings.)
The seven steep at last shows some lessening of color so I stopped there, and we have finished off the last three steeps now. These leaves have had a good run.
When Nature's Tea Leaf offered to send me some samples, I requested this because it looks so totally awesome. I knew I would love serving this in my little glass teapot.
I got both the jasmine and regular Daughter Rings, and today I am having this one with Asian buffet leftovers. I used 174F water and gave it a one minute steep. At that point, the water had barely changed color! Have no fear, though, it is nicely flavored. I actually made four steeps from one teaspoon of leaves in my eight ounce pot.
I like this! It reminds me a little bit of Snow Dragon. I find it to be very clean and fresh, with a mineral flavor that borders on metallic. (I like that.) I taste rocks, worn smooth and round and perfectly clean by icy fresh stream water that just melted on the mountaintop.
My biggest difficulty with Nature's Tea Leaf is figuring out what to order! Thank you, Denise!
My samples from Nature's Tea Leaf just arrived! Woo hoo! It was hard to pick what to try first, but this one seemed like a good choice to go with the lunch my middle daughter had prepared.
My first impression of the leaf when I opened the pouch was that it was very aromatic, and secondly, soft and fluffy, like you would imagine your pillow in the very best spa ever. I am gulping the scent of these leaves. Intoxicating.
The steeped tea: oh so good. Yunnan Gold teas remind me of sweet potatoes. This is smooth, sweet, and has strong honey notes in the aroma and the taste. There is a hint of orange like a mellow Ceylon. So here we have a baked sweet potato, with a dot of cinnamon butter, honey drizzled on, and a rich cocoa note in there as well. My now empty cup smells just like honey.
Good heavens, JacquelineM, you need to try this! It reminds me so much of the Yunnan Gold you used to love.
How good is it? Hubby, who drinks all black tea with milk and sugar, had a cup plain and made himself a refill. That is pretty close to a miracle.
Many thanks, Nature's Tea Leaf!
My youngest daughter and I are reading The Fellowship of the Ring together as part of her school program. (Homeschool) My eldest daughter had just sent me this link that I so very much want to try – distilled tea recipe for Ent Draught! Distilled to be clear like the Ent Draught, but flavored with real loose leaf tea!http://foodthroughthepages.com/2012/12/18/ent-draught-the-lord-of-the-rings/
Tonight we read this passage: When they came to make their meal, they found that the Elves had filled their bottles with a clear drink, pale golden in color: it had the scent of a honey made of many flowers, and was wonderfully refreshing. Very soon they were laughing, and snapping their fingers at rain, and at Black Riders.
I don't have the ingredients right now to make Ent Draught, but I can make yellow tea and add some White Gold Raw Honey and have some Elf Tonic! I must say this is not such a pale gold, but later steeps will be lighter. The taste is subtle, yet not hidden. Any stronger honey than this would be too much for me, but then I almost never add any sweetener at all to my teas.
The Elves can't have left them chamomile, because the Hobbits knew it well and drank it themselves. I say the Elves left them either white or yellow tea! This is a precious brew that draws you near to enjoy its quiet beauty, which would be enough to fortify anyone against all that may lie ahead.
This is brilliant Ashmanra, thanks for sharing! The man is a huge LOTR fan so I'll make a batch of this tomorrow for him. My mother also made food and drink inspired by books when I was little, I absolutely loved it. What did your daughter think of your concoction?
Your mom sounds awesome! I think the only recipe I have made inspired by a book would be Esther's Orange Marmalade Cake from the Mitford series, unless you count grilled cheese served with black tea, which we call Rat Lunch, from the end of the book I Was A Rat. (Thank you, GMathis, for reminding me how to make italics!) I drank my concoction alone, though, as youngest really only drinks black tea, being fond of Lapsangs. I am sure my eldest will be happy to try it with me, and the Ent Draught, too!
How neat! I just read the first two LOTR books and need to finish the third. I'm finding them a little hard to get through, though.
It is raining, but the rain is freezing is freezing instantly on the car, the steps, the bridges….
Nevertheless, we ventured out for our Friday evening Asian Buffet take out. For several weeks I noticed that hubby now likes green tea so much that I have to go resteep halfway through the meal. Last week I decided to start making the resteep right away and pouring all the tea into my large tetsubin on a warmer. It works out great! We both drink as much tea as we want.
Teavivre's jasmine offerings are the best jasmine teas I have ever had. This is what I consider to be my budget jasmine, as it costs a good bit less than the pearls. With food, you can tell little difference and I save my Premium and Superfine Downy Pearls for solo sipping.
Even with a first and second steep combined, the tea is a rich, golden color. The instructions say to use one to two teaspoons per eight ounces water and one to two minutes. I used four teaspoons for a 22 ounce pot and resteeped immediately for just over one minute. What a fantastic company!
It started the freezing rain here as I left this morning. Just minutes after I got to work it got very nasty.
I wondered if maybe your husband was just trying to get you out of the room so he could eat off your plate but I see you headed that off at the pass :)
I turned down the first offer of Jasmine from TeaVivre. What a maroon. Glad I accepted the second. It won me over.
From the Traveling Tea Box
Hmmm, not bad, but not memorable, either. Smells like honey! Nice. A little fruity – I am not familiar with yuzu so I am assuming this is it.
The tea in the cup is cloudy – I think from the honey or bee pollen? – and golden. The flavor is not bad, not stellar. I would not buy this, but if someone offered me a cup on a cold day or when I had a sore throat, I would take it. It probably tastes best to thse who add honey or sugar to their tea. Fn to try, though, and I think this is only my second ever Tea Forte tea!
More Traveling Tea Box tea!
There is a Spice and Tea Exchange in Asheville, NC? Really? I have read reviews for their teas, but pictured them only being in some exotic, distant locale, like California. LOL! But Asheville is in my state, though a good five hour drive away or more.
This is a far simpler tea than the Chocolate Chili Chai I just tried, but I really think I like it better. I am getting a nice Keemun flavor, which is already chocolatey, with the addition of some chocolate on top of that.
I try to drink all my tea plain, and I like this one sans additions. For those who add milk and sugar, I feel sure this tea would go over the top to decadent dessert tea status.
Very nice.
Haha a couple weeks ago I was shocked to learn Tampa is only 45 miles further away from Atlanta than Raleigh. There are cities in NC that would take longer to get to than West Virginia from here. If NC perplexes me this much I can't even imagining thinking much about even Texas.
Another tea from the Traveling Tea Box! I am trying this on behalf of my future son-in-law. He loves chocolate tea and he loves hot peppers, so I wanted to see if this is a "must have" for him. I am a wimp when it comes to hot peppers, but I read a lot of reviews that said this is only mildly spicy.
It smells good. The first tentative sips surprised me. This really is very mild. Everything is mild. The level of chocolate flavor, the tea base, the chai spices, and the chilis. The aroma is rather intriguing and is the best part of this tea. I guess I am picking up the chai spices over the top of the mild chocolate.
Since I drink my tea sans additions, I can't say this one wins my heart. It is a decent tea but not one I would seek out, but I suspect since Gav adds milk and sugar to some of his teas he might really enjoy it that way. It would give it that "little extra something" that would make it a great cup of comfort on a cold winter day.
No, he lives in Ireland and bemoans the dearth of good loose leaf tea! He is moving here soon to marry my daughter. I plan to keep their kitchen stocked with "the good stuff" now that there is a family member who loves tea almost as much as I do. Is that a good one?
Mango Diablo by David's Tea is pretty good. Not sure if it's still available, but I have some if you want to try it. It's got a lot of kick – I love spicy so I love it! :)
