But in the world of religion, there is no tradition possible. If Buddha had not happened, there was no necessity that somebody else would have discovered what he discovered. If Jesus had not happened, there was no necessity that somebody would come upon the same door as Jesus came upon. It is individual, utterly individual - that is the beauty of religion. It is not a social effort.
Science can go on and on; it depends on the past. Religion does not depend on the past. Without Newton there would have been no Einstein; Newton has to be there as a necessary link. But without Krishna, Buddha would have been there, there is no necessary link. I could have been here without Buddha ever having been there in the past, there is no necessary link.
Religion is going inwards to your own core. Science is going outwards to see the laws of nature; they are available to everybody, so it is only a question of sooner or later. Every scientific discovery is bound to happen.
But Pythagoras got lost because of this theorem - he became much too identified with it, he became known as a mathematician. And his reality was not that of a mathematician; it was just a hobby. Mathematics was just a hobby for him; just as playing on the flute was a hobby for Krishna. It is good that people have not forgotten that he was a mystic; it is good that people don't remember him only as a flute-player.
But that is what happened to Pythagoras. It happened because of the West. The Western mind pays more attention to anything that can be used in the outside world. His theorem was meaningful; without his theorem, something very essential would have been missing in the world of geometry. He fulfilled the need.
In the West, it is thought that, basically, he was a mathematician, and mysticism was just his eccentricity. Just the reverse is the case: mysticism was his soul; mathematics was just his hobby. And there is no mystic significance in it.
Moreover, I don't understand much about geometry. All that I have understood from the Pythagorean theorem is this:
Once there was a very rich Indian chief who had three wives. By some strange coincidence, they all became pregnant at the same time. So, when the time came for them to bear the fruits of his labor, he decided that something a little novel was in order.
He placed the first wife in one teepee on an imported lion skin, the second in another teepee on an imported tiger skin, and the third in another teepee on a hippopotamus skin.
Now the first wife gave birth to a little baby boy. "Wonderful! He will grow to be a great warrior." The second gave birth to a little baby girl. "Terrific! Another squaw and earth-mother for the tribe." The third gave birth to twins. This only goes to prove that the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides.
More than that I don't know about Pythagorean geometry: the theorem.

PHOTO GALLERY: This 'n That sale benefits local scholarships
The Council of Catholic Women of San Marco Catholic Church held their annual This 'n That sale Saturday morning.
The San Marco Catholic Church's Parish Center was packed with shoppers looking for that special something. The shoppers were not disappointed as they browsed a wide selection of items, including books, holiday décor, children's toys, linens, jewelry, china, collectibles, sports equipment, small appliances and more. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the local scholarship fund.
The event is more than just a rummage sale as volunteers look forward to working the event year after year. Susie Walsh said, "A lot of friendships have been formed with this sale, and the volunteers come back year after year to work the same table."
The bake sale area served as a reminder of the friendships formed over the years, as friends socialized over a cup of coffee and a snack.the event is a lot of work, but it is fun, fun, fun.
Walsh said, the event is a lot of work, but it is fun, fun, fun.
After the event the leftover items will be sorted and acceptable items will be donated to Bedtime Bundles.

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #448: Up, Up and Away; #452: Crazies for You, Part Four; #606: Theatrics; #681: A New Hope
By request, Kurt's T-shirt from #681 has been added to the Multiplex Store.
Becky's post-breakup-depression (for those of you who don't check the Related Strips when you don't understand everything in a comic) is referring to Jay, which happened shortly before she sort of uncharacteristically helped Kurt with one of his pranks near the end of Book 4.
Becky was in booth when the gang screened Night of the Living Dead (in #606), but you see her in panel 8, and you can guess that she caught most of it.
One brief Kickstarter-related note: in just three days, you guys have pledged over $6000. Holy cow. That's 40% of the goal to get Book 2 printed in three days. You guys rock.
See you Monday!
By the way, I'll be at Emerald City Comicon, like it says at the left. So you Seattleites should swing by Booth 307, where I'll be set up with Angela Melick of Wasted Talent and my good friend Tom Brazelton of Theater Hopper, a stone's throw away from the rest of Blank Label Comics. (I'd already signed up for the other table before I joined Blank Label.)
I'll have copies of Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show, original art from the zombie arc, and a few other things (but no T-shirts, since I only do print-on-demand shirts now). And I'll be doing sketches, as always. Because I like drawering.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

Arizona Cardinals
Healthy Antonio Cromartie felt like home in Arizona
Once released by the New York Jets, Antonio Cromartie was a free agent able to sign with whatever team he wanted.
After less than two weeks on the open market, he signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
"I think the biggest part I was just surprised by not having, once I got released, the activity," Cromartie admitted to Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Monday. "That wasn't there."
Except from Cardinals.
"Once I got a call from Arizona and a few other teams started calling in, but Arizona just made me feel at home."
In Cromartie, the Cardinals have a player who has been to three Pro Bowls -- including the last two -- and who has 28 career interceptions over eight seasons with the San Diego Chargers and New York Jets.
But he battled through a hip injury last season, which he says affected his performance on the field and likely led to the lack of interest in his services. He knows last season wasn't a great one for him, as he failed to live up to expectations in the Big Apple.
Now healthy, the 29-year-old (who will be 30 by Week 1) expects to bounce back and have a big season in the desert.
"Right now I'm feeling 100 percent, and I'm just getting ready to go."

Come on everyone, where is the excitement here, the fun?
I have added to many people's threads, and it seems everyone disappears or does not respond.
Is everyone ok? Has this forum gone to pots? Where is all the fun and involvement there use to be?
Anyway, take care. This use to be a fun place to come too.
Mike, What are you compliaining about? are you bored or sort of? This forum is more active then any other forums I have lurked. Some are having old thread for months without adding new threads. At this time of the year, we are busy preparing to winterize all our plants.
Lol....I posted this on the wrong forum!
There are a couple of other forums that have just crapped out and it's a shame. This one on the though continues to amaze me, although I do wonder what's up with Butterfly4u lately. I hope she is well.
Have a great day and yes, I think I will add a few pics once my Mom is better and my dad has overcome cancer.
Hi Mike!
Sorry to hear about your parents. I hope they both get better soon.
You'll be happy to know that Butterfly4u has joined the plumie addicts like me! Well...maybe not as bad as me but she did post in that forum that her plumie is about to bloom. :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Butterfly's plumie thread
Mike, I'm so sorry about your dad. Hopefully all will go well.
Of course, hope your mom gets better too. She's a wonderful woman.
People come and go..how many times have you seen new threads..threads that are resplied to..the OP never returns..lol.
Speaking of people disappearing..what happened to Mersipoo? She used to be a regular here..Remember how she talked about Gardenias? lol. Too funny.
Mike, if you have pics to post, please do. Toni
Olympia, thanks for your kind words and for understanding. I really appreciate that and for all the stuff you do here. You are one of the few members that shows much respect, appreciation, makes it a fun place to come, and is so involved with making other happy! It's a blessing to have you here along with,
Robert and Toni!
Thank you Robert for caring. It can be tough at times caring for two parents at once. It is worth the sacrafice at time though since I am afraid I may loose one soon someday.
I have to say that these forums, my plants, my girl, friends,amd my familiy have been wonderful.
Toni! Now you know how much you have been there for me and I for you. I know you too have had some heavy weights to bare and I can only hope we can make it lighter for you.
You are right, people come and go, and then there is teh few of us that stick around for years. I have even begun to like many here. too bad we can't put a face to many here or have a 'Fragrant Plant' convention some day.
Many thanks again everyone and please, keep coming and keep up the good work.
Good Morning,
Mike, hope all is well with you and your family.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was music in the background, music of our choice? lol.
From opera to rock and roll.. Roll Over Beethoven.
Mike, soon enough, when everyone is finished hauling plants in, completing garden work, hopefully, this forum will be pumpin'... Toni
I'm here too!!!
I'm sorry about your parents mike, hope everything turns out.. I started working and I don't have time to post often but I read your posts once or twice a week at night and it helps me relax and dream of new plants!!
Ps. I got my order from holland that we placed with the guys from the greek forum and now I have these new additions:
ceratostigma plumbaginoides and campanula poscharskyana which are not fragrant but great fillers for my planters and they remind me of when I used to grow them when I lived in Italy..Then the fragrants!!
styrax japonicus 'emerald pagoda'
hamammelis intermedia 'pallida'
toona sinensis 'flamingo'
camellia sasanqua 'beatrice emily'
illicium henryi
rhododendron schlippenbachii
and my precious: epigaea repens finally!!
photos arriving soon!

Menghai Tea FactoryEdit Company
Popular Teas from Menghai Tea FactorySee All 175 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
I'm a newbie in Puerh. never thought I would venture in this area. i was always afraid to try but once i tried i became hooked. read lots of reviews and always follow thread pu-erh of the day. Sheng or Shou
Anyway this particular tea sounded so intriguing so I decided to order from Dragon Tea House site(in my opinion it was the cheapest). I like it so much that i even placed an order for the second. and already got the second. it takes around 10 days incl weekend to get from China and I find it remarkable. Maybe because Im in New York.
Its very smooth without any offensive smell, kind of earthy, sweet and on my 3th or 4th steeps i noticed some citrus notes and even dried cherry. maybe its my wild imagination;)
Had this one a while. The first time I tried it I was like oh no! I have put this in the pumidor for about 3 months and it has opened up nicely. I think the long ship time may have had something to do with the first tasting. I broke off 12 grams put in the yixing and gave a 10 second "wash". I then actually forgot and let the leaves sit in the pot overnight. It brews up dark like most shou and has that bit of "musty" aroma to it. this stuff gives an almost touch of a cherry chocolate cordial we probably grew up with and dislike now. Only for a second though. It then turns to a kind of lightly sweetened bittersweet chocolate. It has the usual drying of an older shou also. Not a bad one and not the best but drinkable to a shou pu head like me.
I remember not being overly impressed with this tea when I first got it after reading the vendor description of it. If I recall correctly it still had some of the fresh fermentation "funk" to it. I ran across it again in a listing and said what the heck pull it out and taste it. I brewed it in the trusty yixing reserved for Menghai shou. I gave it a 20 second rinse to re-hydrate and off I went. I did a 15 second or so step and watched the dark brew come out. It has a very small tart sensation reminiscent of a persimmon but not as pronounced. It has a little drying effect on the tongue that turns to a light sweetness almost like a fruity red wine. It still has the "earthy" underlying note at the end. It gives a touch of burnt bitter caramel about the middle of the taste session. This is hard to explain all the taste notes you can get on this one but as it has lost the fermentation flavor it is turning to be a decent tea. It has some boldness at times that would stand up well to a rich evening meal. I think it will continue to evolve. I will do later steeps on this tonight as we are expected to have fall weather in the 40s and it is rich in taste as many things are in the fall.
That sounds nice! I'm drinking a Lancang Ripe. I love ripes that have fruity undertones, especially when they are 'playful' rather than in your face taste.
Me too, made me a puerh blend with cinnamon chips and cocoa hulls and a pinch of laoshan black with cream and splenda. Puerh lovers night tonight!
I was seasoning my 2 yixings yesterday evening, one for sheng & one for shu. I'll post about them later :)
I bet ripes are going to be my usual thing from now on. I love them, especially when it is starting to get cold out.
Mrmopar needs his own blog with a catchy downhome country title, something unique and not stuffy, approachable and well-informed just like he is! Down with snobs, up with community!
You should do a blog! Especially with your experience with Puerh. Honestly, Since you've stored and aged yourself your experience can benefit others!
Get sponsors and advertising so you can do it full time or go on the Food Network now Paula Deen is gone…that's a joke to scare you mrmopar! The blog is a great idea though!
I don't know if I would have the time for a blog. I seem to blog this site a lot though. I am still learning and hope to keep learning. I need to find a page or source to be able to translate the Chinese symbols and numbers to what I can comprehend.
Send a note to Lily Duckler asking her if she knows of a resource. Tell her it was my idea to ask her. Use the Contact feature on Verdants website.
Sip down! Another wonderful sample from Terri! Gradually working through them. I've been drinking this one over the course of the later afternoon. Sadly it's stupid hot in Toronto so my brain has been wandering. I think there are other puerhs that I prefer more than this one, but I don't dislike this one either. This is one of those puerhs for me that I could drink all the time. It doesn't feel like I have to pay as much attention to it as others but is still a creamy ish cup of puerh. I can dig it :)
Did I send you some of the Verdant Xingyang golden leaf? THAT's a tea to really take your time with!
You asked if you'd sent me any….only way I have any idea is by checking my cupboard… It said nope you didn't :)
This after some time in the "pumidor" has mellowed out a bit. Honey notes are more pronounced. any hit of harsh astringency is subdued quite a bit. Aging nicely and getting more enjoyable.
Trying this out tonight. This is the highest grade Menghai cake that I possess. The taste of it is kind of puzzling. The cake is loosely compressed and easy to break apart. I brewed this in the gaiwan to keep the flavor notes from being softened by the yixing pot. It has a buttered pea aroma to it. I washed it once for about 10 seconds and went on to steeping it 3 times and pouring it all in a 10 oz. cup. It sill has some astringency and the color is still pretty yellow for a 6 year old tea. It has notes of honey and flower in it. There is still some smoke to it and the drying on the side of the tongue. A light oiliness coats the inside of the mouth. Head to head against the 8582 from a year younger i would prefer it over this one. Needless to say I hope it will age well. It has given me a bit of sweat that the 8582 lacked. An OK sheng to drink nevertheless. i will try this in the yixing tomorrow.
I have enjoyed 9 steeps of this tea now. I use 3 steeps for the "me" size cup I normally drink. This tea has no astringency no harshness and no "bite" at all. This tea brew a light orange/golden color. It has a light citrus aroma. It taste like a very light green tea with the sweetness of honey to it. I found this to be one of the most enjoyable shengs that I have had. Definitely in the top three. I have the newer versions of this cake and hope they age as well. I was really surprised as this is a secondary code 807 of this tea. Very nice. I will probably buy another one of these.
I've been sipping on this for the last hour or so.
This is the 3rd time I've sampled this tea, I think.
I do not taste any chocolate. I taste semolina & cream. There is a nice bold depth as well, kind of a coffee edge, which perhaps could be interpreted as dark chocolate, but that is not what I taste.
Over the course of several steepings the cream became butter, with a nice buttery sensation lingering in my throat.
It's a pleasant tea, & maybe next time…
Thank you Mrmopar for this Puerh sample!
BTW, the new picture is me sniffing wet tea leaves, proof that I am an official tea geek and nerd!
Oh yeah, getting back into my puerh groove! Woman does not live by puerh alone(but I almost get away with it)!
We're having a dip in temperature…snow flurries then back up to the 50's and 60's. A real Rocky Mountain Roller Coaster! Wheeee!
For breakfast today…a strong cuppa PU sounded fabulous! (If you take a look at mrmopar's cupboard, you'll see that he agrees with me!)
This particular puerh was great for bold drinking. I was thinking about how you could make a big pot, sit down with breakfast or the paper…even fill a thermos and head out the door. It's such a big flavorful puerh, reminiscent of what I 'Used to get' at Pete's Coffee way back when! My morning 'kick in the butt' cuppa!
Smooth, dark, stands up to additions and the resteeps aren't weak.
The flavor:
After one rinse, I steeped 30 seconds which produced a DARK red-espresso-brown brew, smooth and full of energy. The taste was raspberry/choco/cedar/nut with a little tang. (None of those flavors distinctly strong). Muted flavors, smooth and sweet.
On later steepings the flavor wasn't as strong.
At the 4th and 5th steep…I got lazy and put the two steeps together in an 8oz mug, sweetened it and added cream. Yeah! Good!
I kicked back and watched the news, slurped my mug of PU with a furry throw tucked up under mu chin, my feet propped on the bench coffee table. What a life!
This tea is one of those "Whatever you want me to be, I'll be it for you baby!" puerh's! (Too bad I never married man like that, oh well!)
Thanks Mrmopar!
purchased as a fairly new production tea. i think a few years aging will mellow this tea out some. i think it has too much of a licorice taste for me as of yet,but i am sure with aging that will go away to the smooth menghai taste that i am used to. btw the 2010 star of menghai entirely different.
I was getting some cheap glass teapots from Yunnan Sourcing, and I couldn't resist taking a couple of pu'er cakes as well, especially with the expensive shipping of them. I don't now a lot about young pu'ers, and I chose to get three vintages of 8582. I have sampled a couple of older 8582's, and I liked them, and these young cakes where cheap. So I bought this one made 2008, another from 2009 and a third being made 2010. A vintage comparison! Although Steepster doesn't (yet?) support comparative notes, I'm gonna give some thoughts on the comparison on this single note.
FIrst, they all were clearly the same tea. The taste was about the same, difference was more on how the taste behaved.
'10 first attacked me with a taste I believe most describe in English as astringent bitterness, but the initial nastiness made room for a liquiricelike sweetness quite common with young cakes. Although first shocking, the initial taste moved aroung quite smoothly, it's roughness was quite round if one can say like that. Aftertaste was pleasant. I'd say potential, but I won't probably be drinking this for a couple of years.
'09 was most interesting one. First I thought this was slighlty more tamed version of '10, but at some points it gave some weird tastes. It didn't behave consistently. At some brews this was definantly the weakest one, but sometimes it really shined. I really don't know why.
'08 was my overall favourite. It's taste was most harmonious, balanced. There was quite a bit of roughness, but this tea wasn't as bipolar as the '10 and '09. If these three cakes really form a valid timeline of aging, I'd say this is my vasual pu'er in a couple of years.
Now the interesting thing is, are the differences in taste due their ages, or are they resulting from different harvests? Their age differences are relatively large, the '08 being three times as old as the one from '10. On the other hand, they are only a year from each other. That will probably clear out in a couple of years, as their relative age difference lessens. I'm excited in onberving the aging of these three.
I am not a big fan of Shu, but oddly sometimes this tea serves me so well, such as on a cold winter night!
This tea has nice bright dark red tea liquor. The taste is smooth with a soupy texture, feels very clean, no offensive over-fermentation taste at all. It's after taste is not only sweet, but also somewhat more complicated (in a nice way) than most shu I've tried. No wonder it's seen by a lot of people as a classic product of shu.
If I have to critique on it, I would say its taste is on the weaker side. But very possibly many flavors of shu that's favored by a lot of other people just escape my radar. The tea is very soothing, with great mouth feel and excellent warming effect. It really made every skin pore of mine feel comfortable!
A friend of mine commented that he feels this tea doesn't taste much different from its 2008 version, which seems to me may not be a bad thing at all.
I am recently in a puerh sheng mood, which doesn't happen often. So I would grab the chance and taste a few more sheng products :D
This tea is supposed to be one of the routine, decent products of Da Yi. It's from 2007, which was not a great year for puerh, but not the worst year either. The tea is pretty good, that's if you are like me and don't mind bitterness to a small degree. I think this tea is reasonably bitter, and by reasonably, I mean the bitterness is not long-lasting. It hits the inner part of the tongue and disappears fairly quickly. The aftertaste is very nice. It's the aftertaste that make you feel the mouth is very cool and clean. There is a little bit of astringency and a hint of smokiness.
The leaves are not very chopped, but not the whole leaves either.
I made about 8-9 infusions of it, and pushed the brewing pretty much to an end. It's not a very strong sheng among the teas I've tried recently.
I've sadly found I've got a little bit of allergy recently. A friend of mine used to say, if you live in Northeast and don't have a season allergy yet, don't think that you are spared and it may start any year! Now I think I've got it :-S but just a little bit. Probably that's why I crave for sheng puerh recently. It did help a lot. Probably just drinking that much of water would help anyway, but only with tea, I can patiently drink so much water!
First produced by Menghai after the name change to Xishuanbanna Menghai. Production started in '97. This specimen part of a tong. Slightly loose, and damp 'shu' beeng cha. Quick rinse and first two brews were very dark due to presence of loose leaves. Subsequent brews mellowed out, with hui gan appearing, and slight 'dust' notes. Beeng has been opened to air and 're-vitalise'.
This tea is very rich with a slight mineral taste that moves on to an almost oak taste as found in a good dry red wine. This tea brews a nice dark orange color with a light floral or citrus aroma apricot or muskmelon. Easy drinking no bitterness or astringency. Brews up nice and tasty. A nice drink for the end of a long and late work week. Brews up almost creamy. Very good tea.
This is hands down my favorite Shu! Its smooth and full of flavor. I detect notes of raisin and smooth creaminess. I judge all other Shu's against this. The liquor is bold and full of creamy flavor. Deep red in color. I will always have this as long as its offered.
Just tried this one today. This tea gives a very dark infusion right off the bat after the first rinse. It comes across bold and strong with a woody almost like someone had put chestnuts in the pot with it. It has a touch of sweetness that has carried through 5 infusions with no loss of flavor yet. The aroma is just like a new shou with the barnyard smell that is knocked out by the taste. I personally think this one still has the new fermented taste still a little strong for now, but I think this will be really great in a year or two. I have no doubt about these being old tea tree leaves the strength of the brew has not dissipated yet. I will continue to experiment with this one till the flavor is gone. Giving it a so so rating for now because I believe it will age well.

How do you solve a problem like misconduct?
31 October 2012 News and Analysis
The world's scientific bodies have come together to tackle fraud and plagiarism, but the problem will be tough to crack
'Once a phenomenon has been described in print, it is almost never challenged'We need more debate in the scientific literature to weed out the errors and falsehood before they cost us time and money or, worse, become embedded in the underlying brickwork of the scientific edifice. But attempts to instigate such open debates are often met with significant editorial opposition. A recent example is Raphael Levy's criticism of results published by Francesco Stellacci. Levy published his case in the journal Small, following several rejections by other journals and a three-year editorial process during which eight peer review reports were considered. These unusually exacting standards were applied because Levy's paper makes the unconventional move of challenging the interpretation of experimental data presented in a number of earlier publications by Stellacci, a well-known Italian scientist, and his co-workers. Stellacci published experimental evidence that he interpreted as the existence of stripe-like domains of ligands on gold nanoparticles and, in several further high impact publications, went on to explore differences in properties between striped and non-striped particles. Levy disagrees with Stellacci's interpretation, and constructs a scientific case against the stripes' existence, and hence against the differences in properties. Stellacci published a rebuttal and the debate is now raging within the relatively small community of scientists interested in the ligand shell of gold nanoparticles. Perhaps a consensus will result, perhaps not. The truth, as usual, may be more complicated, and a deeper understanding of what these particles really look like may come from elsewhere, for example from the increasing number of careful single crystal x-ray studies.

I need a water leak alarm
Well, I didn't think I needed a water leak alarm since I haven't THAT problem in 37 years.
We gutted and renovated a 100+ year old house. I put Brazilian Cherry hardwood throughout the house except in the laundry and 1 bath.
We've been living here 6 months and last week I started noticing that 6 butted boards between the kitchen and dining area were cupping really bad. DH said I was seeing things. Last night, he finally realized I was right.
I went under the house and the foam insulation was dripping under the kitchen area but only in an area about 8x10.
Long story short, the ice maker tubing had started leaking behind the refrigerator. If I would have had an alarm, my 6 month old floors wouldn't be ruined. The water never came out from under the refrigerator.
I've looked on line but I'm not sure what to buy. I remember reading about these here when I was building.
There are alarms that shut off if large amounts of water flow through a pipe when the alarm is set: Avoids washer hoses or frozen pipes from running undetected when you are on vacation. That type wouldn't help you.
There are others that detect moisture with a probe of some sort and are specific to the area. You would need a probe behind the fridge, under the sink, under the dishwasher, etc.
Re: Brazilian Cherry. Make sure that you are replacing it with sustainable harvested wood (LEED - MR7 designation).
Do a Google search for "Leak Frog." It's a silly-looking, green plastic frog that takes a battery. There are 2 contacts on the bottom and, when there is the slightest amount of water on the floor, it completes a circuit and sounds an alarm. You should be able to find this item for about $10. For some reason, they are $50 on Amazon, but mine was much cheaper and it works great.
My water heater is located in my attic. I have a drain pan under it but just to ensure I have no problems, I installed a automatic shut off valve. It runs off of a standard 110 outlet and it also has a battery back-up. You install the device on your inlet side to the tank. There is a sensor that you place in the pan under the water heater. Should a single drop of water hit the sensor, it immediately shuts the water supply to the water heater off. It does work. About a year ago, I wanted to remove a plastic check valve in the water heater. I forgot to move the sensor and when a few drops hit it, the valve closed. Once closed, there is a button to reset the valve. There are also ones for washers and refrigertors.
Here is a link that might be useful: Auto shut off valve for Water Heater
The problem with very small but long term leaks is they may never touch a sensor to trigger an alarm.
If the water never made it from under the refrigerator the 'frog alarm' would never have gone off.
Use copper tubing for refrigerator lines (and ditch the 'saddle valve' while you are at it).

Police kill NY college football player from Mass.
THORNWOOD, N.Y. A college football player parked in a fire lane outside a bar sped away from police rapping on his car window, hit an officer who clung to the hood as the sedan barreled toward a colleague, and was killed by a burst of police gunfire that pierced his windshield, authorities said.
But the father of a passenger in the car said Monday that the driver headed away because he thought police wanted him to move - and he denied that an officer was struck by the car.
Danroy "D.J." Henry, 20, had just played for Pace University in front of screaming fans during its homecoming football game against Stonehill College of Easton, Mass. - the junior defensive player's hometown. Hours later, hysterical students screamed on the sidewalk outside a strip mall as authorities tried to revive the wounded Henry, who at first had been handcuffed.
The New York State Police joined Monday in an investigation of the events involving three local police officers early Sunday. The victim's family and friends were skeptical of the account of events police gave.
Brandon Cox, a passenger in Henry's car who was grazed by a police bullet, said he and the victim's family "won't rest until we get justice for D.J." He called Henry his best friend.
"In my heart, what went on that night ... it didn't need to come to that," Cox, who played for Stonehill, said at a news conference outside his family's home in Easton. "Whether we were trying to drive away or not ... there was no need for any of that to happen. I do feel that we were victimized in that my friend's life was taken for no reason."
Cox's father, Thomas Parks, said Henry thought a police officer who knocked on the window of the car wanted them to move so he started driving forward.
He said Henry and Cox then saw an officer climb onto the hood and fire into the car.
The two were not involved in the fight that drew police to the scene, Parks said, and said police have not contacted them.
Mount Pleasant police Chief Louis Alagno said he would not comment on the Cox account.
A disturbance at Finnegan's Grill, wedged between a pizza place and an Asian restaurant in a strip mall in the suburban Westchester County hamlet of Thornwood, spilled into the parking lot, and police from Pleasantville and Mount Pleasant were called.
Henry's Nissan Altima was parked in a fire lane as officers arrived. When an officer knocked on his window, and with a passenger in his car, Henry stepped on the gas, Alagno said.
"For no reason, the vehicle sped away," Alagno said at a news conference. "I can't describe to you why the driver did what he did."
Pleasantville Officer Aaron Hess tried to stop the car, was struck and "ended up on the hood," Alagno said. Hess drew his pistol and fired into the vehicle, the chief said.
Mount Pleasant Officer Ronald Beckley also fired at the car as it neared him in the fire lane, Alagno said. Another Mount Pleasant officer, Carl Castagna, was also struck; none of the three officers was seriously injured. A back-seat passenger in Henry's car also was unhurt, Alagno said.

It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth." The boy thought about it and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?" The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed."

#ILOVETHIS! seriously i hate when people say oh that diet doesn't work (talking about herbalife), uh it's not a diet.. it's a lifestyle change. and with the way heart disease and diabetes runs in my family, i NEED to learn to eat healthy.
no diets - just eating real food
i can't stand diets for weight loss just eat right!
Eating healthy foods is a lifestyle choice not a temporary diet.

Sensational thanks FT. I made these tonight with a couple of tiny alterations-I don't much like nutmeg, so used fennel seed (which loves pork) and added a good pinch of chilli flakes. I made a double mix, but only added in 3 eggs (more than enough I reckon). As a note to myself; next time, fry a tablespoon of mix before forming to check for seasoning (I think I could have added more salt), and after passing the meat through the coarse disc of my mincer, pass it trough the fine one. The mixture was super tasty, but a little coarse and loose for a sausage. My mincer has a sausage making attachment but I didn't have any skins-I formed the sausages by hand.
First post and I didn't catch the review stars input. An easy 5.
We really liked the flavor of these sausages. I think the pork belly was pretty meaty, so they turned out fairly lean, which we enjoyed. The flour gave them a bit of a crust, and helped to hold them together while cooking. This time I used the food processor to mince the meat and grate the onion. I'd love to get a meat grinder and sausage stuffer so I can make them like regular sausages. I also want to experiment with different herbs, too. Thanks so much for posting this recipe, so we could try some bangers and mash!
Great recipe! Used the recommended sage, thyme and marjoram and 1 ts each would not be too much. The lemon zest really shines through, so depending on what the bangers are served with, I might choose to leave it out sometimes.

Duck! Lawyers raise money for charity, relive childhood in annual dodgeball tournament
NAPLES - Local lawyers could only watch Saturday as faces, knees, backsides and egos of dozens were bruised at Fleischmann Park in Naples.
No charges were filed, however, as many attorneys were among the 150 willing participants in the fourth annual Collier County Bar Association dodgeball tournament.
The charity event featured 24 teams made up of lawyers, accountants, insurance agents and the like competing in both Co-Ed and Open divisions.
Travis Hayes and fellow associates from the law firm of Cummings and Lockwood heard a running commentary from Naples resident Ben Riley during an early-round game.
"You can't argue your way away from a dodgeball," Riley said.
Naples attorney Chris Donovan organized the event, which is put on by the Young Lawyers of the Collier County Bar Association and the Young Professionals of Naples.
The tournament raised more than $2,200 for the Naples Children's Advocacy Center, which provides legal advocates to protect the rights of dependent children.
The event has grown since the first installment in 2007, which featured just 55 participants and did not raise any charitable donations.
Players and spectators often laughed when Donovan used a megaphone to announce the names of each team.
Members of the Grant, Fridkin, Pearson, Athan and Crown law firm comprised team "Just Fridkin Duck."
Criminal defense attorneys Dan Hakula, Vince Russell, Joshua Faett and Spencer Cordell were the Hibitual Offenders, a nickname that was simply a case of a typo when red shirts that said "Habitual" were ordered.
The champions of the 6-on-6 competition were Beaver Nation for the open division and the Cummings and Lockwood team for the co-ed bracket.
Best costumes prize went to a group outfitted in tattered T-shirts and short-cut jean shorts.
The smiles on the faces of all the players were easy for Donovan to explain.
"Dodgeball is a great way for people to re-live their childhood," Donovan said.

Fantastic Beach Trip
My husband and I stayed here at the Fortune for 4 days while taking some time to relax in Goa. The hotel itself was very clean, and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast buffet had good options, both Indian and Western style food.
The hotel
is a very short walk to the beach, and although they provide a shuttle service we always chose to walk because it was very close. The hotel also owns a restaurant down on the main road (where you can walk, or they provide a shuttle) "Earthen Oven" that is a must try. All in all a very comfortable, good experience at the Fortune in Goa, and we would consider returning there as well as trying other Fortune properties.

Poor Amenities, Disappointing Breakfast, Poor Service
When deciding between this property and another one for our stay in Candolim, we went with this one because of the beautiful pictures online and belief it had a better breakfast. We found ourselves very disappointed for so many reasons:
1) The
amenities are poor and the hotel takes so many shortcuts. Our bed did not have fitted sheets -> we slept on flat sheets that barely covered the mattresses which were 2 twin size mattresses pushed together to form a "king" size bed. The internet usage only allowed us to have one device on at a time even after paying premium prices. The "business center" we used for printing our boarding passes consisted of one very slow computer and a printer that was low on ink and re-used paper with other customer's info on the back!!!! The shower leaked out onto the bathroom floor and we had to call maintenance to unclog our bathroom sink which nearly overflowed on the first usage!!!
2) The breakfast was downright scary, lacking freshness, quality, and organization. One day, our server ushered us to a table only to find it taken when we came back with food. At the omelette station, the chef didn't even care to customize my omelette, instead pushing me to accept a prepared mix omelette. When asking another chef to replenish the empty bread breakfast, he pushed me off to a server who ended up dropping half of the bread on the floor and then put it into the bread basket -> right in front of my eyes!!! Indoor seating is very limited and when we sat outside, we were bombarded by flies.
3) If the examples of poor service in #2 aren't sufficient, note that much of the staff just didn't seem to care about us and did not make us feel very welcome.
4) The only difference between the Deluxe and Luxury rooms is the view. Our "luxury" room was okay but didn't feel luxurious...maybe a suite might have been nicer but we already paid way too much for our luxury room. The hallways are dark and scary looking and our room was right next to the elevator -> talk about non-stop noise and an unrestful sleep.
