In still images from the documentary, Editor-in-Chief Jimmy Young looks over the day's paper.(Courtesy Prince Spells/Centre Daily Times/MCT)
Like many Americans, Aaron Matthews said he was feeling let down by the media. He tested his lack of faith by putting a campus newspaper in the spotlight of his latest documentary, The Paper, which had its first airing April 7 at the Philadelphia Film Festival. The film is slated for a national airing on PBS as part of its Independent Lens series that begins in October.
Matthews' film focuses on the staff of Penn State's student newspaper, The Daily Collegian. It highlights the frustrations and difficulties the staff faces in simply getting the story.
Although the Collegian rivals many campus newspapers, it, like many media outlets, faces declining circulation and disappointment from readers. On a day-to-day basis, its up-and-coming rookie journalists test their morals and beliefs against what is newsworthy, all the while trying to beat the many obstacles that stand in the way of their information.

Contrast Brings Clarity
Submitted by Libertyrose on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 09:26. Permalink
IMO, contrast brings clarity. RP and AJ are on opposite sides of the scale. It has been my experience that the vast majority of people cannot state what is wanted. In their attempt to do so, they almost always, unconsciously, resort to saying what is not wanted. RP and AJ are, if you will, Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

Need help quickly!
mjtx2May 11, 2012
Posting this in two forums for hopefully quick responses ;)
Help - have to decide by 11 a.m. central today! ;)
I'm getting Sears' counter-depth refridgerator and freezer but they're separate units (about 18 cu ft each). Usually they're put side by side for a built-in look, but they always show them with a trim kit that makes them look built in.
I don't particularly want the trim kit but will it look funny without it?
I've got to know this morning because I'm doing final kitchen cabinet planning and they'll want an exact measurement.
Does it look okay without the trim kit?

From what I understand from salting to make an encrypted password more secure, I would generate a random number (the salt) and store it along side the hashed password, in the user record (for example.) I would concatenate the salt with the plaintext password and then encrypt it (hash). The resulting hash would be much more difficult to crack. This process would be repeated to verify the password.
Looking at
has_secure_password and
bcrypt_ruby (disclosure: I am not a security expert) I don't see how that is done, as the only thing stored in the user record is the hashed password. Where's the salt?

What do I do now? All citrus blooming or buds
Trees are a good size. Look healthy. I want to have as much fruit as possible. For example, lots of blooms on our satsuma tree (which bore 3 satsumas last year). Should I water deeply twice a week, or once a week? light fertilize now? All the trees are putting out new leaves at branch tips. What is the routine to follow now? All my citrus trees are in ground.
How old are they?
Don't fertilize them while they are blooming, don't spray anything with pesticides on them since the pollinators will be working on them. Once a week watering is probably fine if they have been in the ground a while and are established. Might even be too much water if they have been established already. I know everywhere is different, and here in south Texas the water table in the ground is pretty high so anything that can put out deep roots is fine for the most part.
Anyway, I'm in the same zone as you, either 9 or 10 and our twelve newer citrus trees have been in the ground about 3 years but we only water maybe once a month, even in the heat of summer and they have been thriving.
Watering will be up to how warm your days are and how much rain you get, kumquat. Check your soil, and if it is starting the dry out, water well. Not deeply, just well enough to soak the top 18 to 24 inches (deep watering citrus has gone by the wayside, it is not necessary and a waste of water.) That might be once a week, twice a week, once every 2 weeks, impossible to say since I don't know how much rain you're getting or how warm your area is. And, your satsuma will naturally drop excess blossoms as well as excess set fruit. If you end up, however, with a lot of fruit set past the ball bearing/marble size, you can thin some if your tree is very tiny, and you fear the branches breaking. You should be fertilizing (actually, you should apply fertilizer before blossom set), and then every 2 to 3 months through about Sept. You should be following your citrus growing recommendations for your area. Check out your local Cooperative Extension office's recommendations for growing citrus in your area. Or, contact your local Master Gardener's group.

Hi Patty,
Thanks for addressing the fert qusetion. I always feed pretty much non stop from spring thru fall. I like the idea of "weekly weakly", and for me, it works pretty well. i know what works for one person doesn't always work for another. Time to go fertilize my Oro Blanco grapefruit now!
If your trees are blooming and also putting out growth, it probably means they are adequately fertilized. If they are a bit overfed, they tend to put masses of blooms and almost no growth until later; if they are underfed, they will produce fewer blooms and little if any growth. All my inground citrus get fertilized beginning of January, May, and September; they are in Guatemala, you might want to delay the January application if you are in a frost zone.
Our ground is acid sand that slopes slightly down to a bayou. When it rains an inch, just the top inch of soil gets damp, it all runs off. Never have seen an actual puddle on our place. I usually dig "dams" around any plantings, so I can give a good watering when needed.

An unplanned 6 minute video of my (15 minute) bike ride from home to work.
I was testing a Bogan arm with a Pentax Optio point and shoot camera. It was the little 3.2 megapixel camera that fit in an Altoids tin. So the video is rough, and too long. I managed to edit it down to something reasonable. I wish I have kept it to three minutes though.
The music was a hit from Geggy Tah. A California duo who, so far, are one-hit wonders. This is a cool song. ~RL

Panama has a developing economy. Outside the Panama City area, which has many first-class hotels and restaurants, tourist facilities vary in quality. U.S. currency is valid in Panama, and is exchangeable on a one-to-one basis with the Panamanian balboa. As of December 31, 1999, all former U.S. military facilities in Panama were transferred to Panamanian control.
U.S. citizens are encouraged to obtain a U.S. passport before traveling to Panama. Although entry into Panama is permitted with any proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a certified birth certificate or a naturalization certificate) and official photo identification (such as a driver's license), travelers may experience difficulties entering Panama or leaving Panama to return to the U.S. when not in possession of a valid U.S. passport. Panamanian law requires that travelers must either purchase a tourist card from the airline serving Panama or obtain a visa from a Panamanian embassy or consulate before traveling to Panama. Further information may be obtained from the Embassy of Panama, 2862 McGill Terrace, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20009, tel. 202/483-1407 or the Panamanian consulates in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia or Tampa.
U.S. citizens transiting the Panama Canal as passengers do not need to obtain visas, report to customs, or pay any fees. U.S. citizens piloting private craft through the canal should contact the U.S. Embassy in Panama City for details on required procedures.
Travel toward Colombia beyond Yaviza in Darien Province and Punta Carreto in Comarca de San Blas Province may be dangerous. There is limited Panamanian police presence in these areas, which are known to be frequented by Colombian guerrillas and paramilitary groups, drug smugglers, and undocumented aliens.
Travel beyond Yaviza towards the Colombian border is possible only by foot and is risky for individual travelers or small groups. This information also pertains to the Ancon Nature Preserve at Cana in the Darien National Park, due to its proximity to the Colombian border and possible cross-border activity by Colombian rebels.
From time to time, there may be demonstrations or other manifestations of anti-American sentiment by small but vociferous groups. While there is no evidence that U.S. citizens might be targeted (most demonstrations relate to labor disputes or other local issues) and while such protests are typically non-violent, it is nonetheless a good security practice to avoid demonstrations. For updated Security information, contact the U.S. Embassy Consular Section.
On the Pacific coast, boaters should steer clear of Coiba Island, which houses a penal colony, and be wary of vessels that may be transporting narcotics northward from Colombia. Similarly, boaters should avoid the southeastern coast of Comarca de San Blas, south of Punta Carreto.
With the 1999 departure of the U.S. military from Panama, local maritime search and rescue capabilities are greatly diminished.
There is a moderate but growing level of crime in the Panama City and Colon areas, and police checkpoints have become commonplace on weekends there. Based upon reported incidents, the high-crime areas around Panama City are Chorillo, Ancon, Curundu, Vera Cruz Beach, Panama Viejo, and the Madden Dam overlook. Crimes there are typical of those that plague metropolitan areas and range from rape to armed robberies, muggings, purse-snatchings, "quick-naps" from ATM banking facilities (in which the victim is briefly kidnapped after withdrawing cash from an ATM and robbed), and petty theft. Panama has seen an increase in the number of crimes in which unlawful weapons were used, as well as an increase in arrests for possession of illegal weapons countrywide. There has been a substantial increase in incidents of armed violence in metropolitan areas.
A curfew for minors under 18 years of age has been in effect throughout Panama City since October 1996. Under the law, students attending night classes must have a carnet, or permit, issued by the school or, if employed, a Certificate of Employment. Minors who are picked up for a curfew violation are subject to detention at a police station until parents or legal guardians can arrange for them to be released into their custody. Parents or legal guardians may be fined up to U.S. $50.00 for the violation.
The loss or theft abroad of a passport should be reported immediately to the local police and the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. U.S. citizens can refer to the Department of State's pamphlet A Safe Trip Abroad for ways to promote a more trouble-free journey. This publication and others, such as Tips For Travelers to Central and South America, are available by mail from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, via the Internet at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs, or via the Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at http://travel.state.gov.
Although Panama City has some very good hospitals and clinics, medical facilities outside of the capital are limited. Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the United States can cost thousands of dollars or more. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health services. Most hospitals accept credit cards for hospital charges, but not for doctors' fees.
While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Panama is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
Safety of Public Transportation: Poor
Urban Road Conditions/Maintenance: Good
Rural Road Conditions/Maintenance: Poor
Availability of Roadside Assistance: Fair
Flooding during the rainy season, which lasts from April to December, washes out some roads in the interior and renders others impassable by car. In addition, roads in the interior are often poorly maintained and lack illumination at night. Road travel is more dangerous during the rainy season, and in the interior from Carnival through Good Friday (Carnival starts the Saturday prior to Ash Wednesday and goes on for four days; from Ash Wednesday there are 40 days to Good Friday). On roads where poor lighting and driving conditions prevail, night driving is difficult, and should be approached with caution. Buses and taxis are not always maintained in safe operating condition due to lack of regulatory enforcement. Driving is often hazardous and demanding due to dense traffic, undisciplined driving habits, poorly maintained streets, and a lack of effective signs and traffic signals. Auto insurance is not mandatory and many drivers are uninsured. If an accident occurs, the law requires that the vehicles remain in place until a police officer responds to investigate.
The Pan American Highway ends at Yaviza in the Darien Province of Panama, and the final portion from Chepo to Yaviza is reasonably passable only during the dry season (January-April). If destined for South America, automobile travelers may wish to ship their cars on a freighter. (The auto/ passenger ferry service "Crucero Express" ceased operations in early 1997.)
U.S. citizens living in or visiting Panama are encouraged to register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Panama and obtain updated information on travel and security within Panama. The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy is located on Panama Bay, Panama City, at Balboa Avenue and 39th Street. The international mailing address is Apartado 6959, Panama 5, Republic of Panama. The U.S. mailing address is U.S. Embassy Panama, Department of State, Washington, D.C. 20521-9100. The telephone number of the Consular Section is 011-507-225-1495/6988 (after hours, 011-507-227-1377); fax 011-507-225-1495; web site http://www.orbi.net/usispan/ and e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recent incidents have called into serious question the safety standards of small air carriers flying domestic routes. Maintenance and pilot standards of these domestic carriers may not meet U.S. standards. Many of the airfields to which they fly are small, with rough, narrow runways that lack even rudimentary safety equipment or standards. From March through September 2000, there were two fatal crashes involving small domestic carriers, while other flights have experienced mechanical problems resulting in cancellations, emergency landings, and non-fatal crashes. In light of these recent incidents, U.S. citizens should give serious consideration to alternative modes of travel before booking flights on domestic Panamanian airlines.
Only Tocumen International Airport, serving Panama City, maintains airport security measures known to meet international standards. Security measures at domestic commuter fields serving popular travel destinations such as Colon, Contadora Island, Bocas Del Toro and the San Blas Islands are lax.

How to paint over previously dark painted walls? Please help!
My husband and I just bought a 7 year old house in which several rooms have been painted very dark colors. One is bright, deep red, another one purple (like the color of an eggplant), another maroon/wine color and another navy blue. We plan on filling in nail holes and sanding and then washing the walls. I figured if we paint over these walls with a lighter color, they will need to be primed and one or two coats of paint used? Is that right? But my question is, if we want to paint over these dark colors, like for instance the red, with another color equally as dark such as brown, or dark blue-green over the maroon wine colored walls, would we still have to use primer? Could we get away with just one coat of paint? We are thinking about using either ACE Royal or 2nd. highest grade of Valspar or 2nd highest of S/W. In this instance, is one paint better than others? We need to watch our budget as the whole house was badly neglected and needs to be done before move-in, however we want to do it right.
Really appreciate any advice, as the last time we painted was years ago and that was with pastel colors covering white walls! Thank you in advance.
It's actually easier to cover a dark color with a light shade than the other way around. My painting contractor client taught me this years ago.
That said, I think that to go ahead with one coat of primer all over the whole house makes sense. You will get a better feel for the rooms and the lighting and it will be much easier to get a nice smooth painted finish when you choose your colors. I've recently painted both my kitchen and my long entry with Ace Sensations flat matte finish. It went on so nice and is supposed to be a washable finish. I loved the look. And my kitchen was red. Put on one coat of white primer and started painting. Keep in mind that even if you use one of the better quality one-coat paints, you will still save money by using primer first. It's less expensive than paint, and if you wanted to skip the primer step, you would for sure need two coats of paint.
BenMoore's Aura is self priming and covers most colors in one coat, never more than two. It is available to sample in 2 ounce jars in the "Affinity" color palette. That would be an inexpensive to way to try this high end paint on your dark colors and see if it will cover well. And it provides a beautiful depth of color unlike other paints.
Don't think of primer as a tool used to help with coverage over dark colors. This is like one of those old wives tales that just isn't true, but somehow everyone thinks it is. Primer is a sealer and using it will mean your topcoats will perform better. But, primer covers terribly. Also, wash your walls first before patching. You don't want to wash off your patchwork.
If you want to do it right, one coat of paint is hardly ever enough, unless you are using flat paint. If you are using anything washable (eggshell, satin, semi-gloss) then two coats is needed for sheen uniformity and that second coat is what gives the paint that film build that is required for the paint to be really durable and washable.
Years ago we had a dark navy blue dining room and I had primed it with two coats of BIN primer before painting it Antique White. The results were beautiful and created a nice clean base. As for painting your color, I have always heard that two coats are necessary to achieve the best color results.

High strength polymer with integrated handguard and flashlight holder, "Knuckle buster" pistol grip/triggerguard and cutout for thumb safety. The top picture is as you would receive it. Modification (by cutting away some of the stock, we did this one with a dremel) is necessary to fit to an AK or Galil. We do not perform these mods for customers. The lower picture is of a modified stock fitted to a Romanian WASR rifle. The only modification to the rifle is the removal of the trigger guard. Modification to the plastic MAGAL stock is necessary to fit to an AK but the results are spectacular! A good project for the craftsman. The pictured rifle also features a top cover with peep sight, folding stock, and RPK flash hider. Sorry, no returns on this item. Be sure of yourself before placing the order. Hey, for $35 you can afford to experiment!

Delta-P & Delta-T Pumps. Big Difference.
System Design with Differential Temperature (Delta-T)
North American residential system
design is pegged to the temperature
differential between the supply and return
(Delta-T). It's part of the Universal Hydronics
Formula, it's how we sizeboilers, select pipe
size and determine the amount of radiation to
put into a room. We also zone our systems and
turn them on and off via a thermostat on the
wall- all in an effort to deliver comfort.
Universal Hydronics Formula:
GPM = BTUH ( T x 500)
Smart Delta-T Circulators
If we use a Delta-T based smart circulator in these North American systems, like the Taco Bumble Bee or 00-VDT, it reacts to how many zones are open, which zones are open, and even how cold it is outside,automatically - without an outdoor sensor. These infinitely variable speed Delta-T circulators deliver ONLY the BTU's required to match the actual heating load required by each zone. The entire system runs at peak efficiency, no matter the time of year, accurately providing optimum comfort and real electric and fuel dollar savings.
Delta-P Circulators
On the other hand, Delta-P ECM circulators operate best on constant circulation and utilize thermostatic radiator valves (TRV's), instead of thermostats, to control the flow to panel radiators. As the TRV's modulate open and closed, the pressure in the system changes and the Delta-P circulator speeds up and slows down to compensate for the change in pressure. In North American systems with on-off zone valves, those pumps read the number of zones in the system, assign a fixed speed for each open zone and switch motor speeds depending on which zones are open. It's like having a "however many zones are open speed pump." It's important to know that if you prefer to zone with circulators, Delta-P pumps never vary their speed - they work just like a single speed pump.
Which to choose?
If comfort delivery and efficiency are your goals than choosing the right circulator based on the system design can make all the difference. Delta-P circulators only adjust to changes in system pressure. Delta-T circulators measure the temperature difference between supply and return and infinitely vary their speed to deliver spot-on efficiency, compatibility, and comfort. Then add Zone Sentry Zone Valves and Taco Controls for the most efficient comfort system available anywhere. - Contributed by Chip Bidigare
CA great way to combat the value priced competition in the mini-split market is with the New Mitsubishi MSZ-HE Series Single Zone Product. Great for applications with hot spots including bedrooms, home offices, living rooms, dining rooms, basements, and kitchens. These systems are Inverter Driven and come with the same quality as a regular M-Series but without some of the features. Our packages include Indoor and Outdoor Units, Wireless Remote, and 15 Foot Line Set. Drain Pan heaters, Wall-mount Brackets or Pads are all recommend add ons to the sale. These units are in stock at the Warehouse. The "Value Series" Package target audience is those who are buying less expensive duct-less equipment elsewhere, not our Diamond Dealers.
FlashShield™ CSST provides the
highest lightning resistivity
and is the only metallically-
shielded gas piping on the market.
FlashShield meets strict criteria
of both LC1024 and LC1027.
CSST supplies natural gas or
liquefied petroleum gas to
appliances with safety and
flexibility. Simple hand tools such as
tubing cutters, wrenches and utility knives are all
that are needed to work with the FlashShield components.
Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing FlashShield™ Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) supplies natural gas or LP gas to appliances. FlashShield is a reliable, lightning-resistant system that can be installed in all modes of construction. Flexibility and no additional bonding means quick and easy installations: FlashShield® installs 30-70% faster than traditional piping methods.
Quick Connects & Accessories >> Quick-Connect valve and accessories provide a safe and easy "quickconnect" for barbecue grills, space heaters and decorative lighting. Recessed mounted quick connect boxes are available in stainless steel.Use quality shut-off ball valves to control gas flow to appliances and pounds-to-inches regulators.
Fittings >> FlashShield™ fittings are designed with a patent pending feature that bites through the first layer of semi conductive polymer and into the metal mesh. This creates electrical continuity throughout the system. The fitting's sealing surface does not sit on the cut end of the tubing, so even the most unsightly cut will yield a tight seal. With no o-rings or gaskets, the reusable brass components provide a reliable metalto- metal installation.
FlashShield fittings and tees can be used with Yellow Gastite CSST.

I attempted my first lager and I pitched my lager yeast at 70f and then reduced temperature to 58F immediately. Pitched Wyeast 2112 and have not notice fermentation for 6 days. Is there something wrong? How do I reactivate the yeast? Any help would be appreciated.
Have you checked the specific gravity and compared it to your starting gravity? That's the only way to know for sure if any fermentation has taken place (or not). You can't go by airlock activity (if indeed you are)... my current lager has had absolutely no airlock activity, but it is definitely fermenting. I probably have a leak in the carboy cap.
If the gravities are the same, then I'd probably pitch some fresh yeast. How old was the package of yeast you used? Was it treated well, i.e. refrigerated for most of its shelf life? What size package did you pitch? Old and/or mistreated yeast may not be very viable. Also, if you under-pitched, then you may just have a very sluggish fermentation. I'd probably pitch some fresh yeast in this case, too.
Hope this helps... and lagers are fun! Did my first one two years ago, and like the results of doing them.
Oh, and welcome aboard HBT!
Check the gravity and see if there's been any activity. But a couple of questions that are very relevant:
Did you pitch the yeast before or after you cooled it?
Did you make a starter or just pitch the smack-pack?
I began my first lager brew about a week ago, has been kept at about 70-72 degrees the whole time.... what are the effects of this? will it turn out ok? or is 72 too warm?
72 is definitely warm for a lager, you'll get some esters at least as a result... however, some people are experimenting with warmer lager fermentations... but maybe not that warm.
to the OP, lagers need huge starters from what i understand, did you make one??


text: Europe is in trouble financially. And with no one having a solid plan, it might get worse before it gets better. It's also not going to be long before China appears in this conversation. China will end up bailing most of Europe out of debt. Greece is in the most trouble because it doesn't appear to be headed towards a deal. It's about to run out of money and no one wants to lend it to them. The G20 are the big players in determining how fast and just how this is going to be fixed. This seems to be a never ending cycle of events that don't seem like they will end any time soon.

If humans are mostly made of water, and fish traditionally inhabit water, fish should naturally occur in the human body. Fix this gap in nature's logic with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 of sushi and authentic Japanese fare at Nagoya Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi in Perrysburg or Port Clinton.
The showy chefs at Nagoya Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi slice, sear, and spatula-toss authentic Japanese flavors before patrons' very eyes. Eighteen entrees sizzle to fruition on tableside hibachi grills, allowing customers to absorb culinary tricks and up to three cups of steam while they wait for their dinners. After winning fans with advanced kitchen choreography, chefs slide flavorful servings of swordfish ($23), steak and scallops ($29), and vegetables ($12) off of flaming grills and onto tongues for speedy consumption.
Traditional, non-hibachi dinner feasts also tuck into cheeks at Nagoya and can commence with appetizers such as the simmering crab egg roll ($7), which arrives fried in the restaurant's secret sauce. Sushi options include classics bundles such as the spicy tuna roll ($5.75) as well as original, inventive rolls such as volcano roll ($12), which was originally invented to plug a small leak in Mount Vesuvius.

Recent Tasting Notes
Thanks for the sample of this one, MissB! Short note because I'm on my phone, but the aroma of the dry tea is deliciously caramelly. Steeped, it stays about the same, but it doesn't translate to the flavour quite as well as I'd like, though that could perhaps be fixed by adding sweetener. I still rather enjoyed it for what it was, particularly since it's a bagged tea. Would drink again, happily. Brewed at 100C for 2 min.
Well, this isn't a fruit tea, so I need to change that. It's a black with added flavors, and surprisingly good ones. I actually get "McDonald's crappy Blueberry muffin" out of this… Or what I'd imagine it to be. The commercials have two ladies taking a bite out of their cups, and showing a Blueberry muffin. Pretty accurate!
Flavors: Artificial, Blueberry, Cake
I think if McDonald's changed the name of their muffin as per your suggestion they might even be able to trademark it and sell way more haha
Oh gosh. Well, imagine a muffin devoid of any nutrients whatsoever, but it's like crack, you can't stop eating it. Interestingly, McDonald's in France and Belgium don't sell them… Croissants and macarons all the way!
Really though, the ad isn't my creation, it's on TV in France constantly.
I love the smell of this tea, but I think that's where the love stops. It's pretty sour—to the point where I don't think it'd be salvageable with an unlimited amount of sweetener. I'm definitely going to put this on my list of iced-only teas. The vanilla is lost, and that makes me sad.
Flavors: Sour
Strong bagged black tea with even stronger caramel smell. Pretty straightforward stuff, but needs sweetener to bring out the flavor at all. Needed to add some cream because it's just too strong for my stomach.
Grabbed this in France, added description, ingredients and translated it as best I could.
Flavors: Caramel
womp womp
My mother bought some of this tea for me in an attempt to buy me a "fancy" tea (she really doesn't get my tastes in tea), which I appreciate but this is just not that great. Thankfully it was partially saved by adding a lot of honey. I wish I could say exactly what was wrong with it but it was just kind of ..blah.
It'll do in a pinch, though – so there's that.
Maybe I just don't like Lipton, because this green tea is really awful. It's cheap tasting, and a shorter steeper time isn't even close. Even dabbing it in for a couple of seconds can lead to a bitter and sour cup. I like "pure green tea" so I naturally don't put any additives, but this truly is just bad and cheap tea. Have to finish it before I get a new one…
I may have let the water boil for too long this time but it was still pleasant. Had a slight bitter aftertaste, smelt really nicely of peaches but the flavour of the tea was lacking compared to how fragrant it was.
Flavors: Bitter, Mango, Peach
My grandma got me this tea as a Christmas gift. It's not something I would normally drink, but I've had a bad head cold all week, so it was actually quite nice to have a cheap decaf tea that I could sip instead of wasting my good loose leaf tea. I can't taste much right now, but I did notice the sweetness of honey and a little bit of lemon in this. Mostly, though, it was just the comforting familiarity of a warm cup of tea on a rough day!
Flavors: Honey, Lemon, Sweet
So as many of you know, I've been on a mission to find good decaf teas lately so they will help my physical issues. Well, Carol Who decided to send me a bunch of decaf teas this week, which is totally up my alley! So excited about these teas. Thank you for helping my exploration to find the best decaf teas, Carol Who! :D
I don't generally like Lipton as a brand, but a few years ago I used to drink one of their peach teas. Wasn't great, but was decent.
Wasn't so sure about trying this one, but since it's a chamomile, I had to try! Glad I did!
Was pleasantly surprised.
While I don't think that chamomile and pineapple should be mixed together-since those two flavors alone are often sour in things, this tea actually tastes okay. It definitely is more of a sour tea, but it reminds me of candy. Which I am always down for. Because candy is the bomb in my world :P
I don't think I'd want to buy this tea, but I will enjoy finishing off this one. Thank you for the tea bags, Carol Who! This one will be good when I'm in the mood for something sweeter than the banana chamomiles I have! :D
Flavors: Candy, Pineapple, Sour
Saw this at my in-laws' and decided to give it a whirl since I'd never tried it before. Unsurprisingly, I was unimpressed. The base tea was uninspiring, and I could barely taste the berry flavor. I won't go out of my way to drink this again.
How i got it: Tried it while having tea at my cousin's house
Experience: When i saw this tea, i went for it not expecting much, based in my relationship with Lipton teas. In the end, though, it was a very pleasant surprise. This tea's aroma is (obviously) defined by the mandarin's (very close to the natural scent) but there's a space for the green tea to appear too, something a bit unusual. Its flavor is very well balanced, and while the mandarine notes are a little less natural than what could be sensed in the smell of the blend (in the flavor, they tend to be a bit more like orange candy than natural orange), the resulting mix turns out to be very enjoyable. (Surprisingly) very good – indeed, maybe one of the better Lipton's i've tried.
Would i buy it?: Good chances for the 'yes' case
What the what?! Had a hankering for Earl Grey while doing groceries and thought Lipton's "long leaf" (not full leaf, mind you, but not fannings) option might hold the best promise. Oops. I should have read the package more carefully.
In addition to the strange and unmentioned addition of marigold flowers, the fine print on the front of the box proclaims "natural bergamot flavor and other natural flavors." The ingredients list is even less revealing, listing only "natural flavors." But I didn't read any of that until after having my cuppa.
It was interesting cuppa that initially held promise. Not only was there bergamot flavor (albeit not much), but it felt fresh and bright, unlike many stale mass market Earl Greys I've had. The bite of the black tea seemed perfectly paired with the citrus. While too thin for a traditional Earl Grey, it at least tasted good. For a brief, fleeting instant, I thought I'd found boutique loose-leaf flavor at supermarket prices.
And then it all fell apart. As the tea began to cool, it took on the smell and taste of Froot Loops. Forging on, it moved through Froot Loops to Lemon Pledge, settling on "undrinkable" by the last few sips. Now, having finished some time ago, I'm left with the taste of the smell of Play-Doh lingering on my tongue.
Whirlwind psychedelic tour of your suburbanite childhood or grossly subpar supermarket tea? You decide.
Flavors: Bergamot, Lemon Zest

Panthers served up successful season
Nicole Brandt had high hopes for the Park Rapids girls tennis team this season.
Despite falling short of reaching their main goals, the Panthers still had a successful season by going 12-6 in dual meets and sending a player to the state Class A tournament for the fourth year in a row.
Brandt was hoping the Panthers would earn the school's first trip to state. The addition of Staples-Motley and Pequot Lakes to Section 8A prevented that from happening.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
15 Oct 2012 09:24 GMT | Politics, Middle East, China, Iran, Lebanon
Rebel fighters have pushed the Syrian troops from the city of Maarat Al Numan, forcing them to retreat to two military barracks on its outskirts.
Rebel commanders called the victory "a major breakthrough" though fierce fighting continued in the Idlib province as troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad launched a counter-attack in a bid to regain territory lost in the northern battlegrounds.
To the east, troops tried to block a new rebel assault on Wadi Deif army base -- the largest in Idlib province, much of which is in rebel hands. Battles erupted nearby as warplanes bombarded the area, said the Observatory.A military official and the Observatory said al-Assad troops also recaptured Aleppo's Umayyad mosque two days after rebels claimed control of the sitel.
At least 130 people including 79 civilians were killed nationwide on Sunday, the Observatory said, in addition to more than 33,000 who have died since the revolt against the regime erupted in March last year.
The Syrian state news agency, SANA, said troops had killed and captured "dozens of terrorists and destroyed anti-tank rockets" in the northern city.
In Damascus, two explosions hit the upscale district of Mazzeh early on Sunday, the Observatory said, adding that one targeted the car of a pro-regime lawyer who was critically wounded.
SANA said the other blast was a "suicide attack" that caused no casualties.
Dozens of corpses were found in a hospital morgue of the province, Rami Abdel Rahman, from the Observatory, said.
Rahman said the bodies might be of men killed in fighting "over the course of recent months."
'Detailed proposal'
The intense fighting on the ground comes as Turkey banned Syrian flights from its airspace, while Iran handed a "detailed proposal" to UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi aimed at ending the conflict.
Live Box 2012108933861442
The reciprocal flight bans heightened tensions between neighbours Syria and Turkey days after Ankara confiscated a cargo of what Russia said was radar equipment being flown from Moscow to Damascus.
The moves brought a flurry of diplomacy intended to calm soaring tensions between the neighbours.
Syria accuses Turkey of channelling arms from Gulf Arab states to rebels fighting its troops, who have been under mounting pressure across large swathes of the north, including in second city Aleppo.
The Syrian flight ban went into force at 2100 GMT on Saturday "in accordance with the principle of reciprocity", SANA state news agency said.
Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's foreign minister, said that Ankara had already banned Syrian civilian flights from its airspace.
"Yesterday (Saturday) we closed our airspace to Syrian civilian flights as we have previously done for Syrian military flights," he said.
"As we have established that civilian flights were being misused by the Syrian defence ministry to transport military material, we sent a note yesterday to the Syrian side," Davutoglu said.
Ankara has taken an increasingly strong line towards its southern neighbour since a shell fired from inside Syria killed five Turkish civilians on October 3.
Rising tensions
It has since repeatedly hit back for cross-border fire, prompting growing UN concern and a hasty series of diplomatic contacts.
Tensions from the conflict are also being felt in neighbouring Lebanon, and hundreds of people took to the streets of Beirut for two separate rallies, one supporting the Damascus regime and the other calling for its downfall.
With the violence raging, Brahimi on Sunday went to Iran, where foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi handed him an "unofficial detailed proposal" aimed at ending the conflict in its closest ally Syria.
Brahimi, on his second regional tour after taking up his post at the start of September, welcomed the initiative but reiterated a call by UN chief Ban Ki-moon for Damascus to initiate a ceasefire.
"I thank you for the proposals and as I told you there are some ideas in your proposals which can help by adding to that forwarded by other nations who are also important with regards to the Syrian situation," Brahimi said.
"We hope all these ideas gather into a project to put an end to the Syrian people's nightmare," he added.
Human Rights Watch, meanwhile, urged Syria's military to stop using cluster bombs, weapons that can contain up to 650 submunitions which are sprayed over a large area before exploding.
"Syria's disregard for its civilian population is all too evident in its air campaign, which now apparently includes dropping these deadly cluster bombs into populated areas," said Steve Goose, arms director at the New York-based group.
As the violence intensifies in Syria, EU foreign ministers were set Monday to slap an assets freeze and travel ban on 28 Syrians and two firms, the 20th set of sanctions against President Bashar al-Assad's regime since the start of the conflict in March last year.
Differences of view over the Syria conflict and how to end it were at the centre of closed door talks in Luxembourg on Sunday night between the 27 ministers and Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
The three-and-a-half-hour dinner meeting was "very good" with talks "open, frank and friendly," touching on Syria and Iran, as well as bilateral problems, said a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Moscow has repeatedly refused to back international calls for Assad to step down and together with China jointly vetoed three rounds of UN Security Council sanctions against the Syrian leader.

Twenty per cent of older adults live with a mental health issue. In Calgary alone, that equates to over 21,000 older adults, with between 1,000 and 2,000 living with severe and persistent psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and delusional disorder. These figures do not take into account individuals between 45 and 65 who have lived a higher-risk lifestyle and been intermittently homeless. Such individuals age more quickly than the general population, and often present as "functionally geriatric" well before the age of 65.
A new study published in the journal Neurology suggests that a simple test measuring how fast people walk and whether they have cognitive complaints can predict later problems with dementia. The developed assesment will potentially allow for many more people to know whether they are at risk without complex testing.
What I've learned through my research or from my colleagues about the prevention and management of dementia is this: Even if we face a family history of Alzheimer's disease and are therefore more vulnerable to dementia, we can prevent the onset of its symptoms, like memory loss and confusion, or its progression.
My autistic son wasn't born because God was pissed off at America. My son was born because he was meant to be born, just as he is. My son was born so that I could learn how to be a better human being. He was born so he could teach me how to communicate without words. He was born so that I could learn how to listen with my heart and see things through touch.
Kay asks: My husband has dementia and the symptoms are getting so bad that I feel like a prisoner in my own home. I am embarrassed to take him to our daughter's house for fear of what he might do or say. I don't want our kids or grandkids to see him act this way. I am not prepared for these changes and I don't know if I can manage for much longer.
