Florida Mom Shoots, Kills Teenage Children For Talking Back
POSTED: Monday, January 31, 2011 - 5:17pm
UPDATED: Monday, April 28, 2014 - 8:48am
TAMPA, FLA— A Florida woman was ordered held without bail after investigators said she killed her two teenage children for back-talking.
Julie Powers Schenecker, 50, made her first court appearance in court on Monday.
Police said Schenecker shot her 13-year-old son, Beau, in the head twice for "talking back" as they drive Thursday evening. Schenecker then drove home, police said, and shot her 16-year-old daughter Calyx in the face as she was doing homework at her computer.
Schenecker's mother called police Friday morning saying she was concerned for Schenecker's welfare because she was depressed. Officers found Schenecker covered in blood outside her home in the backyard.
Schenecker's husband is a Colonel in the U.S. Army and is currently serving in the Middle East.

Julie Schenecker killed her children. We now know that she had a history of drug abuse and that she had repeatedly slapped her daughter before that. Al Gore didn't cause this, as one poor fool suggests. "Mom" did it, and she had exactly the same excuse as any other murderer: if she had been raised better, with a better brain, she wouldn't have done it. Since Florida has the death penalty, she should face it, as do the poor and non-white so often. (I can't get over the bit about Al Gore. My my!)
I wonder? How much of this was caused by people like Al Gore and the schools teaching children that they know more then their parents! If the children were brainwashed into believing that and they began to act out to their parents as to how stupid they were, then the schools and people like Al Gore are partly responsible for this horrible event! Be careful to understand the underpinnings of our social dilemma!!
I do not know any mother in her "right" mind who would want to kill her children. This woman obviously had a psychiatric condition that was not treated properly. I don't think she should be held responsible for what she did. I think maybe her husband should hold some of the responsibility for not seeing that she did get the correct treatment or that there was someone there at home to support her while he was away. No matter what, this cetainly was a tragedy for all.
God did not give us the blessing of children to kill them. No matter if we all do die in the end or not, no one has the right to take a life BUT God. And if you fill other wise about killing your own children you are just as sick and disturbed as this mother was and is for killing her children!
yall are all carzyy!!!
I don"t think that was funny, if anything its very sad that she had a mental problem but I don;t think she was treated for her problem. She sound like she is bipolar, and that type of disease when she gets mad she just black out and don;t know what she is doing or the consequence behind it.
Who cares????????? the point is many people die every day due to psycho paths like this woman
Wow what a stupid I mean who in The world kills there owe kids just for back talking I think she should be killed
Well think about it. Her kids must have waay past atrocious to get her to crack like that.
we need to vote to change the law that do not allow parents to discipline their children physically. The folks who provide the basis for this country grew up under the rod and the belt and we did not have as many psychopaths, serial killers, prostitutes, drug abusers, and the sorts back then as we have today. If you think that not disciplining your child will make him perfectly happy, you live in fantasy land. Had those children gotten spanked they would be still alive! Hail to the belt and rod!
You're kind of missing the point, though. The majority of people agree that beating kids is bad. Therefore, even if it were made legal, most people wouldn't do these things to their kids. Also, I don't know what kind of "fantasy land" YOU live in, but there just as many "psychopaths, serial killers, prostitutes, drug abusers, and the sorts" back then as there are now. It's just that back then, you didn't talk about that sort of thing. It still happened, people just weren't talking about it.
Didn't the gun she used to shoot each of her kids in the head with... obtained LEGALLY?!?!?! Which translates into - she had the presence of mind at LEAST 3 days before actually getting the thing in her grubby little hands when she ORDERED it for the express purpose of slaughtering her own living-breathing-walking-talking offspring. After she killed the 1st one, she then went to seek out the 2nd. Sounds quite deliberate to me.
The thing I want to know is did she have the depresion before her husband left for deployment? If so why did the army not step in? Or was the depresion a result of the deployment? I know other military spouses who get depresion when hubs deploys and I myself have had it to the point of boarder line phycosis which they pulled my hubs from a deployment list over till I showed it resolved. My heart goes out to the dad who is serving overseas! To even imagine having to come home to that.
We haven't heard anything on how life was for this family in the 16 years prior. With the first born, then the second. I wonder. This kind of tragedy is very difficult to understand. Usually the media shows pictures of a more happier time, mom holding baby, children sitting around the Christmas tree opening presents, family photos, etc., etc.. Then something like this happens. What in the world happened? This woman wasn't born this way.
The Word of God tells us to have the mind of Christ, it is an impossible thing without first accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior. He loves all of His children even this woman who did this aweful thing. Let us who read this make a choice today who we will serve and spend eternity with. Will it be the Devil who's mission is to steal, kill, and destroy or Christ Jesus who came that we might have life and life more abundantly. If your reading this and you don't know Jesus, ask Him into ur heart
Wow, way to turn a tragedy into an opportunity to spread your religion to places it doesn't belong. If this G-d of your is so great, why doesn't He ever step in and stop things like this from happening in the first place? It's a "miracle" when an experienced pilot safely lands his plane in the Hudson, but it's "free will" or "the influence of the devil" when people murder their own children.
inj reading your post here lets take a look at the first sentence and do a seripous reality check here. its basically saying that only certain people are good enough or deserve to know who God is. and it sort of sounds like you consider yourself one of those people who feel that your own goodness has elevated you to a position whre you feel you have the right to do this. guess what none of us are. WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF HIS GLORY. the heart of ALL MEN sans GOD is wicked JER 17:9
God makes every thing happen for a reason so BACK OFF ATHEIS
You are looking at the situation wrong. We are here because, God loves us all. God landed that plane, probably because alot of people prayed on that plane, when all landed safely to the ground. That's the Miracle! It's a relatioship with God Not a Religion. God did not tell this woman to kill, it was her choice. This Woman has a choice in what she does, I guess she made the wrong choice. Don't BLAME GOD for people's choices.
life is an example and God is a gentlemen. Ever since the new covanent, people are even more free to make a right or wrong decision. we are judged after death. Life is too uncertain to have miracles happening up the ying yang. we're not servants for nothing
Wow is right you must have no idea he is the beginning and the end and this chapter like so many before this one has been written the pilots story was writtin to. get a clue. Just like the devil has been among us who from the beginning so was Jesus not knocking your beleive but let also be real.
Wow way to sprend atheism. You wouldn't know of situations that may have had different outcomes of tragedies if the holy spirit intervene because there was nothing to report. Maybe this poor lady was overcome by the same spirit that consumes you...
Amen Howard58.
this is horrible..but have sympathy obviously nobody in this discussion has ever experienced severe depression, its a brain disease, im sure it wasnt her that killed her children it was her inner demon!! plz take no offense this is beyond twisted but depression is nothing to play with.if u or any1 u know is going thru it plz get help b4 sumthing lik this happpens again
I HAVE experienced severe depression and still knew right from wrong. And I knew to get help.
Psychosis maybe, but not depression, could have caused her to act this way, IMO.
I also have trouble taking someone's opinion seriously when they use "text speak" to respond. I mean, is it really THAT hard to type out the word "anyone," "before," and "please"?
That's BS. It was her who shot an killed her children. She time to think about what she was doing, Especially going home an shooting her daughter.
iI think that maybe she could have seeked help for her depression, but killing was not the answer...People hopefully will learn from this story and try to seek help if they feel backed in a corner of depression...talk to a pastor, doctor, or anyone that can help...Life is something only given by God..we don't have the right to take a life....
Depression is not an excuse to hurt or kill your beautiful children. I have two teen-aged girls and I have been mouthed off to several times, without resorting to violence. You have to disciplined properly. I am sure that Julie Power's husband was not happy about coming home from the service without anymore family members around. I can't believe how crazy and unstable people can be. It was bad enough what happened to the Senator of Arizona, and all the other politically involved people.G-d weeps
Are you dumb shooting your own kids you're sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im a single mother of 3 Kids and they can drive me crazy, but i dnt know how can us the person that are suposed to protect them are able to take there life in such a cold way.. I think they should give her the same punishment she thought it was correct for her kids.. i believe that a person that is depress and under any medication should be under 24 hour supervision more if they have kids..very sad for this situation..
Single Mom 3
Its not always in one state or another it happens everywhere it just doesnt hit the media like some. Remember susan smith pushing the car with her babies in it and then blaming a black man for taking them well that happened in south carolina, dont think its just one state to blame for all this horrible stuff its all over...
I understand what she did was very wrong. But who's to say what these kids were really like. I work in a system where parents are afraid of their kids. Where kids curse at their parents on a normal basis. Where kids hit their parents. Wher kids are "perfect" at school but when the get home it's a totally different story. Who are we to judge this woman?
I would hate to think that I was paying you to work with my children.There R a lot of misbehaved children whom there parents are scared of.Which would of never happened in the first place if they would have taught them right from wrong.And used the right type of punishment when they did wrong.I to have worked with not so perfect children.But if a parent can not handle them or is to scared of them then what are they doing with them in the first place?All I can say is I hope you dont have a GUN!
That is so true of your statement. No one don't know how the children are behind close door but thier parents. I have seen it all, and we're no one to judge.
You are an idiot! We are everyone to judge this pshycopath! I dont care what those kids did behind closed doors, they did not deserve what they got! People like you need to be strung up next to her and shot, people like you are who cuase this great nation to constantly crumble what she did was wrong plain and simple! I have three boys and early on in thier lives they received thier spankings and pushimnents, They respect thier parents, thier teachers and thier elders and get recieve complements!
It is hard for people to believe that a child can have two faces. I have one. He is not abusive, not physically anyway. But he says some very cruel things to me. And, if I were to tell the people at school or his grandparents etc, no one would believe me. He is a Jeckle and Hyde.
REALLY?? Nothing,gives this woman the right to take someones life. I don't care what these kids did (if they did anything) there are millions of ways to handle disrespectful kids than killing them. There are other routes you can take if you can't handle parenthood. As for her being abused by her kids, if that were true evidence of this would have shown by now. AS for judging her,I WILL because no one has the right to decide who lives and who dies, where would we be if everyone thought like that!
It doesnt really matter how these kids was.It doesnt give there mother a right to kill them.If the kids was bad she should of got help for them.If the parents are scared of the kids they need to get lots of help for there kids not kill them.All kids can do the same thing be good at school and bad at home.That doesnt meen that the parent needs to lose control and kill them.People need to stop blaming it on not being in the right mind.The person was in the right mind when she killed them.
A "right minded" person then is a murderer? Something is terribly wrong with a person that kills another person. There is something very wrong with their thinking process. I just don't believe murderers are in their "right mind" when killing......
i feel really bad for the kids if the were talking back to her send them to their room or something else now she probley regurts it i hope she dies no child should have to be murdered by their parents or anyone else
Are you an idiot! Seriously? You need help!!!!!
If they were so bad, perhaps she could have tried handing them over to the courts before shooting them in the head
If she was in her "right mind" maybe she would have.....then again who knows.
I Agree With you
I am with most of you. I work in law enforcement, and this horror happens everywhere!!!
For those that wanna "preach" GOD? Whos GOD? your GOD? These insane acts happen...by all kinds of people from ALL religons!

I will be getting my 40 year pin from the IBEW next week. I will say there are some interesting ideas here! If you want to know how to use the existing wiring to do what ever you need to do, send a PM.
The national electric code was changed last time or the time before to require a ground rod at each building even if a gound wire is pulled to the seperate building.
The coundit under the bell box is 3/4".

dying plants/ wilting new leaves
archoo16(5b, MO)April 5, 2013
Hi, these are valentines gift :D I read the saving mini roses thread and repotted them separately. Its been almost 2 weeks . They put up new leaves and then the leaves before becoming large, wilt and die. In the added pictures, you can see new fresh leaves emerging, but they die before they become large. And some of the stalk have died off . :( What else can I do to save them? It does not have any black spots. I water them if the top is dry. It used to have powdery mildew when it came, and I sprayed it with some dilute mouth wash and a drop of liquid soap and oil. No powdery mildew now . It gets good sun all day.

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. -- Three players scored at least four goals as the Pace University men's lacrosse team gained its first win of the season which topped Dominican 19-9 at the Torne Valley Sports Complex in Hillburn, N.Y.

I have VZW note3 and my mother just got an S5 and i installed the weather channel app for her. The interface of this app is so much smoother and cleaner then on my note3. Both apps are updated.
Idk why they are like that. Was wondering if one of you could attach the apk for me located in /data/app I believe.

* Wow. In 1938, they arrested a woman for wearing pants to court. [LA Times]
* LSAT takers were down AGAIN. It's now down more than 40 percent since 2009. Maybe someday soon it really will be a good time to "Apply to Law School Now!" [Excess of Democracy]
* Don't go to jail in Alabama. Just a general rule. [Mother Jones]
* Interesting. LexisNexis is partnering with Microsoft to create a cloud-based system for small law firms. [PR Web]
* The remains of famed athlete Jim Thorpe will remain in the Pennsylvania town where he was buried, ruled Judge Richard Caputo. His family wanted the remains returned to his birthplace. Even in death this guy is getting jerked around. [Associated Press via ABC News]
* Speaking of sports, Oklahoma State is suing New Mexico State alleging that its mascot looks "confusingly similar" to OSU's mascot. There are only so many ways to depict a cowboy. Compare and contrast. [The Chronicle of Higher Education]
* Man Okie State is litigious all of a sudden. Oklahoma State is suing the University of Texas for poaching the former Cowboys Offensive Line coach to be the Longhorns' Offensive Coordinator. I can see the deposition now. Imagined transcript after the jump…. [ESPN]
Attorney: And how old are you, describe yourself?

Job Of The Week: Compliance Manager At A Global Asset Management Firm
Special Counsel is conducting a time sensitive search for a Compliance Manager on behalf of its client, a global asset management firm with approximately $70 billion in assets under management. The successful candidate will partner with their Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Legal Officer to create and maintain a registered broker dealer entity within the firm. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast paced, team oriented firm in Boston, MA.

* Everyone knows Bingham McCutchen is considering a merger with Morgan Lewis, but not many know bankruptcy may be an option. It's a remote option, but still an option. [Boston Globe]
* When Kaye Scholer moved offices, it left behind most of its library. "It tells you everything you need to know about law firm libraries": they're not necessary. [New York Times]
* Everyone loves the Sixth Amendment: Thanks to money from Koch Industries, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers will offer better indigent defense training. [WSJ Law Blog]
* The judge in Adrian Peterson's case won't be replaced, despite the fact that he called the lawyers involved in the case "media whores." Meh, Peterson's attorney says he's been called worse. [Bloomberg]
* Gilberto Valle, better known as the "Cannibal Cop," really wants to go to law school. He's apparently scored quite well on LSAT practice tests. Do law school ladies look delicious or what? [New York Post]

* Squire Patton Boggs may be lobbying for Ebola drugs, but Reed Smith has launched a Global Ebola Task Force. Don't worry, folks, the firm doesn't want to "sensationalize" the outbreak. [Washingtonian]
* Hong Kong is great for lawyers interested in corporate misconduct. "I've barely had a weekend off for the last eight months," says this partner who's really excited about a not having a life. [Bloomberg]
* As we noted, New York is considering adopting the Uniform Bar Exam. Touro Law's dean thinks the format change could be "jolting" for students, but the head of the NY BOLE doesn't agree. [WSJ Law Blog]
* Wayne State Law is freezing tuition and giving a scholarship to incoming student that's equal to a 14 percent tuition cut. That's one way to combat a 13 percent drop in enrollment. [Detroit Free Press]
* Whittier Law is one of the "most challenged" when it comes to its graduates' ability to obtain legal employment. Just one in four students gets to be a lawyer after graduation. [Orange County Register]

* That didn't take long. John Oliver's Supreme Court dogs have already been used to recreate Hobby Lobby. The entire Hobby Lobby argument. [Above the Law]
* Squire Patton Boggs is representing the pharmaceutical company promoting Ebola drugs. Or, as CNN would put it, EVERYONE AT SQUIRE PATTON BOGGS HAS EBOLA!!!! [Law and More]
* China Central Television advises citizens not to name themselves "Lawyer." Good advice. [CCTV News]
* Slate posits that appealing gay marriage decisions to the Supreme Court may violate Rule 11. They're wrong, but that's what they're positing. [Slate]
* Dr. Ruth is incredibly impressive. Next time you complain about the job market, try moving somewhere with no understanding of the language and getting your own TV show. [What About Clients?]
* Documentary about eDiscovery going on a six-city tour. This way other people can understand how much it sucks to do document review. [Bloomberg BNA]

* "Leverage has started to shift away from law firms." Despite the fact that their headcounts are rising, Biglaw firms are downsizing office space as rents keep climbing higher. [Am Law Daily]
* Schools are trying to slap lipstick on the pig that legal education has become amid an "anemic job market." We bet your law school has some shiny new innovations too. [News Observer]
* Citing the fact that "the courts do not exist to win popularity contests," a judge sentenced Oscar Pistorius to five years in prison. Serious question: Will he be allowed to bring his prosthetic legs? [New York Times]

Student Loan Smarts: When to Combine Federal & Private Loans Through Refinancing

* Baltimore Law and Maryland's HBCUs hooked up to assist underrepresented minorities get into law school. Full scholarships come with GPAs of at least 3.5 and LSAT scores of at least 152. [USA Today]
* Kent Easter, the lawyer who was convicted for planting drugs in a school volunteer's car, was sentenced to serve six months in jail. His law license will likely be suspended (just like his wife's was). [OC Weekly]
* Accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev isn't doing well in court, and his trial hasn't even started yet. Motions to dismiss his case and to suppress evidence were denied. [National Law Journal]

* Thanks to this Georgia appellate ruling, parents may now be held responsible for what their silly little children who weren't supposed to be on Facebook are posting on Facebook. Dislike. [WSJ Law Blog]

* We suppose that's why the Supreme Court stepped in to make sure that abortion clinics in Texas were allowed to reopen following their shut down. Take that, Fifth Circuit. [New York Times]
* AG Eric Holder is showing off some fancy legal footwork before he walks out the door. Federal prosecutors can no longer ask defendants to waive their IAC claims when pleading guilty. [WSJ Law Blog]
* Davis Polk & Wardwell is a Biglaw firm where hotties roam, and it looks like this top Justice Department prosecutor who started his career there is returning home there to roost. [DealBook / New York Times]
* It's the debt: With headlines like "Law school applications plummet – at U of L too," the University of Louisville School of Law can't even convince alums from its undergrad school to attend. [Courier-Journal]

Joyce was an excellent hostess. Her communication was extremely timely and thoughtful for our needs. The house was exactly as advertised: a very comfortable resting spot after skiing nearby - and the hot tub was great at the end of a long day of skiing.
We had a wonderful time and really loved staying in this beautiful space! A perfect setting for a dream weekend vacation :)
This was the perfect rental in a perfect location. We had great skiing while we were there. The views of Sugarbush are amazing from the property. The rental was on a beautiful piece of land in a quiet and cozy setting. Joyce made us the most delicious cookies that were warm and waiting for us upon arrival, thank you Joyce.

"So it is old," I said.
"Older than you know," The White Beard murmered.
"I have never seen a blade of this type," I said swinging it experimentally.

A collection of 30 scrolls, manuscripts, and codices sampled from the library of Atal, the Wise Councilor.
Hot off the Press! These are not your eldritch manuals or ancient folios of doom. These are random books, a GM can use whenever a PC reaches for a shelf, which usually happens when said GM is least expecting it. These can be found in most libraries, many private homes, and anywhere else one could expect to find a book. More than a few have some built-in plot hooklings as well, while others, like many books of our age, are plain drivel.
If you sit down for a drink of Timewine, be careful to remember just how many drinks you have consumed, or it might turn around and club you on the head when you least expect it.

I saw him pull that odd piece out once more, using it to fiddled with the lock. He open the big fold, and flipped out one long thin piece. He pulled a single piece out from a slide and fiddled in the lock. He stopped, smirked, and flipping out a small thin scraping tool he began to probe the area around the lock. "Trapped," he said.

He was frantically pointing towards the glowing mountain. "We need to cast The Spell!", Bothar screamed!
I held up the scroll we all had risked our lives to get. "Nobody can cast this spell without a prepared mystic space and ritual equipment. It would be suicide," I said. "Not even him," I jerked my thumb towards the Magi who smiled slyly.
Silently, he unstrapped that bolt of cloth he had been carrying since I had known him. He unfurled it, tamped it down, with small spikes, pulled a small apothecary chest out, placed and lit four candles on the cloth, drew some lines with some handy chalk, unpacked his remaining tools, then he held his hand out expectantly for the scroll. It took a fraction of a candle mark.
"Solomontic Rug," he said quietly. "The key to mastery is knowing and having the right tools, be they physical, mental, or magical, and having them ready when you need them."
In an area albinos are considered to be evil mystics and locals ward themselves against them by turning their backs to them to avoid being mesmerized. Suddenly the angeliclly pale loner with white hair and violet hued-eyes is suddenly an outcast, and his companions are treated as if they have been mystically bonded into his service, and could be treated with attempts to intervene or given the same stony treatment. Expect poor quarters, no hospitality and to pay twice as much for everything.

Auto-threading Compiler Could Restore Moore's Law Gains 404
from the sufficiently-smart-compiler dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
No no, you misunderstand. They're teaching the compiler to be so efficient that it actually starts creating new transistors to make itself smarter.
Make no mistake, this is how the rise of the machines will start.
all the magic compiler is going to do is increase the speed of the System Idle Thread.
Have you seen how much processing power that thing consumes? Usually 90% and up. On all cores. It really needs some serious optimization.
Apparently the real geeks left Slashdot ages ago.
Casted to void?
If two bunnies eat the same carrot...the compiler will take care to run two bunnies eating away at the same carrot sequentially. However if there are 2 bunnies eating the green carrot and another 2 bunnies eating the yellow carrot
Am I the only one who is totally horny after reading that?
Maybe it's subtle sarcasm regarding learning threaded programming? People can't identify the right thread in a conversation, but should be expected to write threaded code?
Of those, IBM have around 439,999 project managers.
Honestly, any programmer worth $120k could make something more efficient just using threads, if they thought about it. This will get you 20% of the efficiency gains without thinking of it.
And the last one cleans the office and makes coffee.
In fact, the chips Moore had access to at the time had very little memory on them

Will BT Home Hub Work with AOL Broadband??
Likes # 0
Posted March 28, 2008 at 7:25PM
Hello all, i have a quick question and i hope someone can help me. My friend has been given a spare Bt home hub by one of his friends. My query is that my friends current provider is is AOL, and we both wanted to find out if the BT home hub will still work, if his ISP is AOL, and NOT BT, as he also wants to go wirelessly with his laptop as well??
I've already told him that i dont think it will work, but i wanted expert advice from the experienced people on this forum website

The BT Home Hub can only be used with BT Total Broadband, and not with other providers (such as TalkTalk, Virgin, Tiscali, AOL etc). The username and password information, plus the connecting information are all hardcoded into the Home Hub's software, so you can't edit the settings to get it running on a broadband line that's configured for another firm's Broadband service.
There is a form of workaround, but it's not for the novice, and it's not supported by BT - The BT Home Hub is a re-branded version of an older broadband router, the Thomson SpeedTouch 7G, and you can re-flash the BT Home Hub with a Speedtouch firmware image - I believe there is information on doing this via a Google search, but be warned, it's risky.

The annual pilgrimage to the shores of southern Florida by the electronic music community during mid-March was in full effect this year. This was my first year back at conference after several years away and while the festivities have gotten a bit more mainstream and commercial, the core spirit of Miami's round the clock nightlife remains intact. Extra thanks to the varied group of people who appear throughout this piece which include several of my close friends who allowed me capture their natural essence minus the fake smiles of the club. This trip I discovered how much of a port city/transportation hub to the world that Miami is and tried to capture that in some of my timelapse wide shots of the city skyline. Enjoy!

588 Tasting Notes
At Starbucks because I wanted to read a bit and I knew I wouldn't if I stayed home. The Seahawks vs 49ers game is on and I'm kinda keeping up with it. My team, the Patriots, already lost this afternoon. Oh well. Next year.
This tea, despite 3 packets of sugar, is still somewhat bitter and I don't know that I want to put any more in it. It also has more than its fair share of half & half because I forgot to tell them to put milk in it. I can't say I like it much but I don't feel like getting my whole thing from the car and setting it up. So swill it is. Perhaps the second steep will be better.
I supported the Indiegogo campaign for this company and got some bottles of the tea in the mail after they funded. This is one of 3 bottles I have of this flavour. They have 3 flavours currently and I have 2 of them.
It's a pretty bottle and label. I'm looking forward to trying it. It is otherwise only available in certain grocery stores in California at this point, so I can't get more after this, more than likely. Should I hope I love it or not?
Well, I don't love it. I can taste the tea and that's okay but the rose is REALLY STRONG and I just don't love florals that much. Seriously really very rose. A lot of rose. LOTS. I'll drink the rest of it but WOW is it rosey.
Haven't had this one for a while and I'm wondering, even before drinking, if I put too much matcha in it. I had forgotten that I'm sensitive to this one. Possibly age has helped? I'll see in a minute when the milk cools down a bit.
This tastes nice, apparently I found the balance. The flavouring isn't very strong though, not after all of this time. I will get through these because matcha is good for me and I hate throwing out non-rotten food and drink and I can't give it away in this state. Oh well. At least it isn't horrible. I put about 2/3-3/4 of a tsp of matcha and just under a tsp of sugar and an entire half pint of milk and a couple ounces of water, bringing my RPI mug right to the top.
Sipdown! First time subtracting one from my cupboard in months. I liked this, but sipdowns are super necessary, especially with matcha since I have a ton of it in my freezer. This is one of my work matcha so even better. 8 left to sipdown ASAP.
Hot latte again, the rest of my stash of this, not quite a tsp of rock sugar, what was left of the milk in my little container after a couple of cups of regular tea and splashes of milk in them. I have another little half pint of milk in the fridge that I can break out if I need another one in the 2 hours before going home tonight. I'm going to make another pot of tea, but after I finish this since I need to go and get more water for my teapot, don't dare use the tap water.
A bit much matcha, this is a tiny bit bitter. Possibly I need to increase the amount of sugar in these until I get the new matcha opened. My tastebuds are also out of the habit of tasting this so I need to get everything back up to speed now that I'm not nearly as depressed and I am enthused about things again. Like tea and matcha.
I don't have a lot of simple sipdowns, I have quantity of most everything. I need to start trading again, but I don't want to until the TTBB gets to me. It's in the mail at least.
I foolishly made this without consulting my previous tasting notes and realized just now that I underleafed it compared to previous times but I don't remember what it's supposed to taste good other than I really loved it so this is still okay. It's also an old tea at this point. Everything I have at work is, but I'm either going to drink it down, throw it away, or give it away before I bring too many new things to work. That includes 10 different little cans of matcha that aren't very flavourful at this point but I will drink them regardless.
I need to buy a magic bullet or a ninja portable blender so I can make smoothies at work. That would be ideal. Something portable that can crunch ice cubes into smoothie level.
This tastes like raspberry, not as much cream this time. I get the raspberry in the middle of the sip and then it tingles along the sides of my tongue as I swallow and lingers for a bit. It is still good, don't get me wrong, I just have a hankering for a new package. I'll try to remember to overleaf this one next time. I need to do some dedicated sipdowns here at work in order to be happy with my stash here.
Haven't had this in a long while. It's obviously losing it's potency. This was mild and smooth, made into a hot latte. I'm finding that, despite the weather, I like the cold lattes better but I don't have mixing materials at my desk here. So, unless I get access to a blender or I remember to bring some premade from home, hot lattes it is.
Another smoothie tonight with 2 tablespoons of this. I added half a package of raspberries and a bunch of frozen blueberries to my handful of ice cubes, matcha and 16 or so ounces of milk (didn't measure this time). It was so think that I couldn't get it to pour, had to convince it out of the blender with a spoon. Sucking through a straw was a bit difficult too, the first cup especially. I need to buy one of those venti cups from starbucks that people refill or from somewhere else because those would be perfect to stick in my car for my drive to work and then just rinse out when I get there. Something to remember the next time I'm in Starbucks (frequently, I hate coffee but I love their hot chocolate).
So I had this tea last night in the JusTea headquarters made by the JusTea media guy. I put milk and a bit of sugar in them because that's how I can get around my hatred of the bitterness of black tea and it was quite good. They're a little low-tech in their office, kettles and thermometers and pouring through a steeping filter into various mugs. Was cool.
This is actually my first time having their earl grey and it's pretty nice. The flavour of the bergamot is pretty strong and I finally finally tasted the actual citrusiness of the bergamot in the aftertaste. It was quite nice. This is one of their machine processed teas since last year they were still teaching the tea farmers how to process their own and in order to have money to do this they contracted with one of the companies to do this and their other 2 current teas (Kenyan Black and African Chai). This year, later than now obviously, they will start offering their hand-crafted teas by the tea farmers and I had some of those at the tea cupping event last night and there were a couple of oolongs and they were REALLY good. And I don't even love oolongs all that much normally. Search starfevre on Instagram for some pictures of the whole thing.
Oh wow, so cool! Had I known this was going on, I'd have attended as well. Or, was it open to the public?
I got it as a perk on their fundrazr campaign. I posted in the discussion section looking to bring a friend but no one seemed to want to on here…
I know they're thinking about having a regular thing though, so you might want to keep up with their website and facebook.
I'm not mad or anything, I understand about prior commitments. It just would have been nice to meet some steepster peeps. Maybe we can set up a get together. It's not more than 3-4 hours of driving depending on the border for me to get to Vancouver.
It was great to have you here! So glad you could make it. We'll be hosting the tastings more often from now on, and we'll post all about it on www.Facebook.com/justeatea
Happy Steeping!
My own tea so not rating. Still have quite a bit of it so I made some for my first day back at work.
Unfortunately I got so occupied by emails it's cold by the time I got around to drinking it, but that's okay, it's still good.
Like Tea Sipper said, there aren't many candy cane parts that I can see, unless they dissolved with age or something. This tea, like most of my original teas, is almost a year old. It hasn't seemed to have lost it's tastiness though, it's just a bit milder than it was.
Another batch of cold caramel matchaccino latte. This time I added half a package of frozen raspberries and wow, there's no bitterness at all. Caramel is still the dominant flavour but now there's no bitterness whatsoever (I'm also drinking a lot of tea again), and I'm getting some fruit in as well. Made a double batch because it's easier that way. Yum yum.

When is the best time to pollinate a bloom to get a seed pod? Right after the bud opens up or a few days afterwards?
Several days after it opens. The "fingers" at the end of the stigma will open fully and it will be receptive. You might want to remove the pollen from any bloom you wish to pollinate with something else to avoid and accidental "self".
Be very careful when you remove the pollen sacs as once they're open the pollen can fly through the air (it has wings ;-)) What I do if the pollen sacs have partially opened is to cut a s straw about the length of the stigma and cover it before you even touch the pollen. You can stuff something on the open end to be extra careful.
Believe me if you goof and it gets selfed (unless that's what you want) it's a long 3 years finding room and babying these seedlings. Once they start to grow they become your responsibility so you want to make sure you've got a good cross! My seedlings take up as much space as my larger bulbs.
When I first started about 5 years ago I made some stupid crosses and of course those are the ones that will take.. and, grow forever it seems before they bloom. I'm at the point now where I only soak a small portion of the seeds (unless it's a really special cross) so I don't end up with 40 seedlings of any particular cross.
I'm just trying to save you from making the typical newbie mistakes that I made...
Have fun and let us know what crosses you do make. Remember that red is dominant so unless you want red be mindful.
In order to prevent self pollination, the anthers bearing the pollen must be removed,or sleeved,before the pollen dries enough to detach from the anthers.Shaking the flower enough to apply a shield would be enough to shake pollen loose, if it's dried.

Why does Jeremy Clarkson get me so angry?
A friend has, quite reasonably, observed "people seem to hate Clarkson out of all proportion to him being a presenter of a show about cars". It's a fair point. While I don't "hate" Clarkson, he does make me very angry. Why is it that this man, whom I can quite simply ignore by switching channels, squats on my emotional world in such a colourful way?
For me, Clarkson is the intersection of several political ley-lines. This makes him more prominent as a symbol than it should.
He enables and emboldens xenophobia to a significant degree and, each time the BBC stood behind him, it felt like they were cool with that. He seemed to be the entertainment equivalent of Nigel Farage. I know many of you don't see the fuss about calling Mexicans "lazy, feckless and flatulent", or going to Argentina and making fun of a conflict in which over 900 young soldiers lost their lives, or calling his black dog Drogba, or using the word 'n****r', or calling a Thai man a 'slope', or travelling through India on a train the side of which reads "Eat English Muff", or calling Romania 'gypsy country'. But cumulatively this stuff has an effect. As does making fun of murdered prostitutes, attacking a politician because of his disability, making Nazi salutes at a German car and joking about killing Albanians.
I don't think, unless you have been at the receiving end of someone screaming "paki go home" from a car window in the street, of some sort of mindless discrimination or bullying like that, there is any way to actually describe the fight-or-flight feeling people like Clarkson create in someone who feels "other" in any way. Clarkson, in this way, becomes emblematic of every bully. At work, at school, in the street. That there are people defending him, even after the details of what he has done have emerged, is a source of profound concern. Somehow "the right to offend" has assumed larger significance in some people's minds than "the right to go to work and not get punched". I can only put it down to a worrying lack of empathy – a million people able to only identify with the aggressor, rather than the victim.
But it is more than that. It feels like he is at the vanguard of a reaction by those who are privileged in every way – race, gender, ethnicity, age, sexuality, background, wealth, platform, position – against losing what is, objectively, a tiny bit of their privilege. He felt like the epitome of the Farages, Littlejohns and Moores of this world using their soapbox (usually in the form of a weekly column in a national paper) to somehow claim they are the real victims, the voiceless majority, the disadvantaged; to say: "now ENOUGH you darkies/women/perverts; we gave you a little equality, but don't push it".
And still, none of those things caused him to lose his job. His final misstep at the BBC seems representative of the bullying, imperialist, old-world attitude he represented. Sending a junior colleague to hospital, after racially abusing them, over a steak dinner. An old drama teacher of mine used to say: "Ego is absolutely necessary for survival in the entertainment industry. But it must never outgrow talent. When the ego starts to be bigger than the talent, you're in trouble."
In the end, it wasn't "righteous Guardianistas" and "humourless Feminazis" that got Clarkson sacked. He was entirely the architect of his own downfall. This, it seems, is the thing his fans are most bitter about. They thought, I'm sure, that he would be the victim of the "do-gooder, lefty brigade"; that he would become their cause's martyr. And he fucked it up. There is only one reason he was sacked: his own consuming anger. His inability to control his temper. His sense of entitlement. And that is a lesson over which the many people who despised what he stood for, will reasonably crow.
I am largely, however, trying to intellectualise a primarily emotional reaction. I hope it is helpful in explaining my reaction, at least. What gets me even more agitated is that those who defend him, do so on the basis of "freedom to cause offence" – that's an interesting phrase for people who deny that words have power, isn't it? They think they're somehow being "edgy" and rebellious by supporting the dullest, most humdrum, tiresome, archetypal establishment figure. You know what is "edgy"? Kindness. Because it is extremely rare and often has a personal cost. Any arsehole can offend. And does.
I leave you with this thought: the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik was a big fan of Top Gear. He described it as "one of the very few programs at the Burka Broadcasting Corporation still worth seeing." He then goes on to quote extensively from a Sunday Times piece by Clarkson entitled "We've been robbed of our Englishness" in his manifesto.
Now, I'm not for a moment suggesting a writer bears responsibility for ways in which any wicked person might misunderstand his words. But I think it is also foolish to deny that people are propelled into action by a thousand spectral hands. If I discovered I had become the busty centrefold inside the door of the hate-locker of a murderer, it would give me pause for thought. I would search my soul very deeply.
Words matter. Words hurt. And the higher your profile, the bigger the responsibility not to pour venom into people's ears. I think Clarkson consistently did that: He poured venom. Dangerously, he poured venom disguised as humour. Worryingly, he did so within a format popular with young people. How exactly do you laugh with someone making fun of people with disabilities, then explain to your child that they mustn't do that at school?
I am very glad my license fee is not paying for him any more. I know he will go on to other, very lucrative pastures new. But it won't be on my buck. I wish him luck and success. I hope he learns from this. I hope he gets help. I hope he grows less angry. We are all capable of change and worthy of kindness.
The Oslo Synagogue Ring of Peace and Its Detractors
I want to make a couple of observations on Breitbart choosing to report that events outside the Oslo Synagogue are a "media hoax". I want to comment on it, because it is being shared by a lot of people I respect – which surprises me, as hitherto I had considered Breitbart to be something like The Onion, but without the wit. But, I guess, there's no bias like confirmation bias.
So, Breitbart reports that Reuters, AP, AFP and all other traditional outlets got it wrong when they reported that 1,000 Muslims formed a ring around the synagogue. Breitbart says it was more like 20, "according to an eyewitness" a number to which they keep returning to. "Photos pulled off of social media", says Breitbart, "appear to corroborate the narrative that only twenty or so people formed the "peace ring."" So, I tried to find what was Breitbart's source for the original eyewitness account. It wasn't easy, but after several clicks I found the original source. It is one anonymous commenter on a reddit message board.
What is more, the eyewitness account doesn't even say what Breitbart report it as saying. He says: "It actually was 1300 people in total, of which most looked like ethnic Norwegians. They [the police] had set up barriers in front and allowed 10-20 muslims inside the barriers to hold hands." He continues: "I don't know how many muslims were present, but I'd estimate about 100 Arabs/Africans."
Therefore, when AP reports that "More than 1,000 people have formed a "ring of peace" outside Oslo's main synagogue at the initiative of a group of young Muslims", they are, in fact absolutely correct and totally consistent with the eyewitness account. I guess you could quibble about the geometrical shape, if the crowd did not go all the way around the Synagogue. Maybe it should have been reported as a "barrier of peace" or a "semi-circle of peace".
Ultimately, Breitbart's aim seems to me to be not to discredit the reports, but to somehow fling mud on a very noble initiative. Because, ultimately, as a symbolic gesture of solidarity, why would it matter if this was 20 or 100 or 1,000 Muslims? It wouldn't. Unless one is promoting a narrative of all Muslims as bloodthirsty jihadists, in which case you would want to suggest this is an exception to the rule and make the exception as small as possible.
As this story appeared more and more on twitter and Facebook timelines around me, I began to wonder whether that was a narrative people are increasingly comfortable to sign up to. "More power to them [Breitbart]", read one comment; "it does show how poor mainstream journalism has become, no independent verification, no fact checking, the news is now basically Chinese whispers!" When I explained that the primary materials for the Breitbart piece were, at best, sketchy and, at worst, misrepresented, the response came: "We all know how the press distort the truth, anyone remember the Hillsborough disaster?"
I guess, post-Hillsborough we can all choose whatever stories to believe without the application of any critical function. I thought the Hillsborough lesson had been entirely the opposite – check sources, put brain into gear.
Apparently, demonstrators chanted: "No to anti-Semitism, no to Islamophobia". The only way Breitbart can make sense of this is by mocking them for "conflating criticism of Islam and hatred of Jews". Because nobody could actually be critical of more than one type of prejudice.
Some Less Healthy Suggestions for Singles on Valentine's
I am what you might call "actively single". I generally feel pretty perky about my status, even with 14 February upon us. I consider the lack of a partner a necessary cut in these times of austerity. I mostly blame the mess we inherited from Labour.
A number of newspapers and magazines, however, have taken to publishing lists of healthy ways for singles to spend the day. They include delightful, therapist-approved suggestions such as, I kid you not, "take yourself out on a date". Take myself out on a date… That's their suggestion? That on the very day restaurants are filled to the brim with fawning couples, I should be in the midst of them having dinner alone. Which will, presumably, be followed by seducing yourself, spooning yourself, cooking yourself a romantic breakfast then promising to call yourself but bitterly disappointing yourself.
I have a counter-proposal for anyone who considers this to be the best route to mental health: Why don't you skip the date altogether and just go &#!% yourself? I have compiled my own list of alternative suggestions:
1. Imagine that you are in a relationship with someone truly vile (like Mel Philips or Jeremy Clarkson) and you are, in fact, successfully hiding in order to avoid them.
2. Dress yourself in an adult diaper and run around the West End, chasing terrified couples with a real bow and real arrows.
3. Sit on the floor next to a coffee table, listening to Madame Butterfly, switching a table lamp on and off, rocking gently back and forth and muttering to yourself "I won't be ignored, Dan".
4. Walk into an expensive restaurant and identify a particularly annoying couple. Approach one of the two victims and say "I thought you were at a conference". Meet their protestations with a thoroughly unconvincing "My apologies, I must be mistaken". As you walk out, turn and mouth the words "CALL ME".
5. Drink so much whiskey on the 13th that you do not wake up until the 15th. You may wish to refer to this as "Ballantine's Day".
6. Make a detailed spreadsheet of all the money you would have spent if you weren't single (new outfit, dinner, gift, flowers, card). Use the money that you have saved on something constructive. Like a donation to Amnesty International. Or cake. I think mainly cake.
7. Go to Samoa, which is 12 hours behind, then hop on a plane to Fiji, which is 12 hours ahead. With carefully planned flights, you can avoid 14 February altogether and get a tan.
WARNING: If you're thick enough to execute these suggestions, there is a good chance you may end up in prison, where dates will be – I am sure – plentiful. A win-win, really. Happy Valentine's!

Troika – The EU's Frustrating Gatekeeper
This, I think, is the most important development in Greece and it is being lost in the white noise. Trying to shoehorn a lot of narrative into preconceived forms makes for easily digestible, but largely opaque reporting.
Greece is effectively refusing to negotiate with the troika (the triumvirate of European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund) or separately with Germany – as first and sole ports of call. This is a distinct break from the past – it is what every incoming Greek government has done in the last few years (and to an extent, Spanish, Irish, Portuguese, Italian governments), under threat of penury.
This attitude does not mean Greece is eschewing its obligations or destabilising the union, despite what some hysterical reporting would have you believe. It simply means Greece will discuss its obligations and the best way to discharge them through democratic EU structures (Council of Ministers, European Parliament), rather than bureaucratic EU structures. Which is entirely proper. That it will treat Germany as an equal partner, with say proportional to their influence. Which is entirely proper. That it will discuss the mandate, democratically handed to a new government by the Greek people, with other democratic representatives. Greece is simply reclaiming its seat at the adults' table.
If there is a feeling that Greece (and Spain, Italy, Ireland or Protugal) does not deserve this seat – and I understand why there might be that feeling from certain quarters – then let the rest of the partners relegate it. Openly, democratically, officially. Not by administrative guile.
We should all take note of how this is presented as strange and radical. We should take note of how uncommon it has become. The troika is the unquestioned EU gatekeeper in such matters. It is in place, evidently, only to assess progress. More often than not, however, it acts as the jobs-worth who says "computer says no" to any request for flexibility – however circumstances may have changed – and even refuses entry to those with the authority to discuss it. We should take note at how rarely this position of absolute power of three entirely undemocratic structures is questioned.
I said a few days ago, that Greece had much more support than analysts estimated. That a lot of entities were quite pissed off at Germany's and the troika's autocracy. Many derided me. Within the last few days, a former IMF director, the Bank of England and the US President, are all shaking the pom-poms of Keynesian economics, like lovestruck cheerleaders, at Tsipras. Yes, austerity may not have been the way to go, they all concede. They do now, anyway. Had the Greek people not voted for change, would they?
All these shows of international support and softening of hard positions are partly theatre, of course. If Tsipras fails with the whole world against him, the result will be more anger, more riots, more instability. If Tsipras fails with the whole world rooting for him, then the Greek people only have themselves to blame (again) and progressives everywhere should take careful note. They want him to be a cautionary tale; not a martyr.
The truth remains that dealing directly with each other as partner nations is what all EU member states should be doing, on all top level matters, all the time. Voting things through the European Parliament, ditto. Running directly to Merkel, Juncker, Draghi and Lagarde, as soon as one is elected, to kiss papal rings and plead for mercy and then trust that them to impose whatever was agreed behind closed doors by force on all the other partners, is precisely what is at the heart of rising anti-EU sentiment across this continent.
Everyone needs to understand this. Especially those four.
What a headache, I said
You brought a glass of olive oil
A pack of gum
And kissed my forehead
The soul urges action
The head forgets method
Some nights
the quiet is too loud
the wine not quick enough
the smile skin-deep
I feign participation
Tomorrow will be better
I tell myself
As the soul winds down
And Morpheus seduces
You'll visit me again
(why do you come so often?)
Whole like you used to be
Efficient, thrifty, comforting
Mother, once more
Greece, debt default and 'moral hazard'
A few very quick words on this, as I have had this conversation many times and it seems sensible to pin it down. Do not expect subtlety – this isn't an essay.
Hysteria over a Greek default, restructuring, haircut – whatever you want to call it – is in part manufactured and in part stoked by ignorant and sensationalist media. We've been told several times over the last few years that the world is about to stop turning. It hasn't and won't. Such alarmism is deeply unhelpful and entirely counterproductive. We really shouldn't feed that particular beast.
Debt default, restructuring or partial write-off (a haircut) is, of course, not a good thing. But neither is it the end of the world. It is completely part and parcel of lending. It is explicitly expressed in the rate of interest. The reason entity A can borrow at 5% while entity B can only borrow at 20% is because B is seen as much more likely to default than A. That is how it works. So, let us not act like it is some unprecedented act of economic vandalism. It isn't.
Then there is the issue of 'moral hazard' – the idea that if entities can take risks with no consequences this would act as incentive for more reckless risk-taking. This is a massive red herring in the Greek context. The idea that anybody might look at what has happened in Greece in the last six years and think "yeah, I'll have me a bit of that, let's borrow lots of money" is manifestly ludicrous. The consequences have been dramatic. Greece is, if anything, a cautionary tale on unbalanced budgets, however the remaining debt payments are now handled.
So, let's keep a cool head and not propagate tabloid-style analysis full of chewing-gum terms, simply because it sounds good and gives a boring moment in our lives a little frisson.
Love. Peace.

I just go to nVidia and tell them I'm going to buy them out for $10 trillion?
-Microsoft is not a hardware company
I disagree. I have a GREAT Microsoft mouse. In fact, I consider it to be much more valuable than the several pieces of their software I had to delete off my hard drive when I originally bought my computers.
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.
