Recent Tasting Notes
Sipdown! And thanks to MissB(?) for a sample of this tea! I'm not sure exactly what it's flavoured with, but my first impression was that it was kind of like a gingerbread green? A bit spicy, basically. It was certainly an interesting tea to try, though probably not one I need to try again.
Thank you MissB for sharing! This is an alright cup. I am a fan of pineapple and that is certainly present here. There is also another flavor, which I am guessing is the ginseng that is sort of just there and neither adds or detracts from the cup. At the end of the day though, this is on a green base and I'm just not a lover of of green teas. Still, it's always fun to try something new.
A friend gave this to me as a birthday gift!
I want pink and gold sparkles to burst out of the canister every time I open it. The dry leaf smell is sooooo pretty! It's sweetly candied in a way that is more delightful than sickening, with mildly toasted/buttery notes to round it out. And the bright yellow flowers in look like ribbons nestled among the tea leaves! One of my favorite teas, definitely. It conjures up images of cake and delicate cutlery, hahaha.
Flavors: Butter, Candy, Sweet, Toasted
I found this tea on display as i wandered through Harrod's in London on my most recent trip. I was blown away by the actual scent that permeated from the canister as soon as the seal was broken. They use giant canisters of loose leaves to measure your purchase. It was amazing! The citrus scent of bergamot is definitely amazing for the Earl Grey lovers! Its not super strong to the point of being overwhelming, and plays nicely with the black tea that is such a great star in this blend. I have used the leaves through 3 runs in my Breville, and they are still as strong and pronounced as the first cup! I am really amazed by the amount of flavor, and this may need to become one of my regulars, great tea!!
Flavors: Bergamot, Spices
Hi Josh! I've missed seeing you on Steepster! The EG sounds great and I'm happy the Breville has worked out for you. :D
Thanks so much carol! Sorry, things have been quite busy. My wife and I just came back from London and it was tea at every meal it seemed, and it was delicious! I haven't figured out how to do it but i need to put a couple of reviews on tea rooms. On a separate note, I went to the Doctor Who museum!! It was awesome, so much stuff from all the old seasons and stuff from the new as well, just a great time:)
Another that just doesn't work for me. I'm getting cough medicine and grass. Definitely NOT something you would want in a tea. Thank you MissB for the chance to try it but this is one I will be avoiding in the future.
another from missB this one has pineapple in it…and as result, was a much tastier option for me versus paris singapore but still just wasn't cutting it for me. LIkely the result of the "green" of the tea. I'm fairly particular about my green teas…most are not up my alley. Still though, for people who like green teas, this is a nice one.
Final Count yesterday: 69
Trying to catch up on ym tea drinking so that i can get my new teas in to my cupboard. I had this one a few days ago – it's another from missB. Sadly, cherry for me either works or it doesn't and this falls in to the "doesn't" category. I'm ok though…more tea for everyone else to have! haha
Grabbed a 100g bag of this from Harrods in London just because of the smell. It made me think of Victoria, BC in the spring when the city is pink with cherry blossoms. This tea smells like that: fresh, sweet cherry, and a touch floral. Drinking it isn't as amazing sadly… There's a sight bitter and dry aspect to the tea that tells me the base green isn't great. I knew I shouldn't go for a green, but the smell… Oh God the smell!
As I don't have a variable kettle while traveling, I used boiling water cooled 17 minutes, and steeped for two minutes. Had to add a touch of sweetener to make the cherry flavor pop even a little bit.
Also, no ingredients listed, but was told in store (and they triple checked) that it's only a cherry flavor used.
Flavors: Bitter, Cherry, Cherry Blossom, Drying, Hay
This is an absolutely AMAZING chai, if you like cinnamon and other really strong spices. It's never bitter, it's always a strong brew. TWG makes really high quality teas and I would highly recommend this Chai.
A refreshing minty tea that is heavy on the spearmint with just a hint of creamy vanilla. I found a canister on sale at Dean & Deluca for 50% off, which is a bargain for the quality of the product. I probably wouldn't have purchased it at full retail price ($30 USD) but at $15 for three ounces of lovely tea, I'm very satisfied.
Flavors: Spearmint, Vanilla
So in accordance with a suggestion that was made to me a few months back when I asked about TWG Teas, I decided that instead of asking for opinions on the company, I'd stick my neck out and try their tea myself.
I went for a breakfast tea within the price range of below 7 USD / 50g. There were four: London Breakfast, Mediterranean Breakfast, Royal Breakfast, and… forgot the last one. Anyway, the Mediterranean had whole leaves, beautiful things. However, and this might be my tea noob nose, but I couldn't tell the difference between it and the other three. This one stood out, in a very good way. The smell was… very sweet. In retrospect, it might remind me of Heart of the Old Tree, but a lot mellower.
When I asked about that, the clerk said it was a blend – Chocolate, apparently – and that it was popular with the ladies because of that. While I really liked the look of the whole leaf Mediterranean breakfast, the intoxicating scent of this broken leaf blend won the day.
I bought a pack – the tea parlour felt like I stepped back in time. They used a balancing scale with cylindrical metal weights to measure it. When I commented offhandedly about the use of such "ancient" equipment, my dad told me that these weights are actually more accurate than digital scales or something. I dunno. He's a doctor. Maybe he knows. I asked about filters because it was broken up and I was worried they'd get past the spoon I use to filter my whole leaf teas. Offered to sell me a reusable cotton one for ~5 bucks, but I decided against it. Figured I'd use a kitchen strainer.
In any case, I steeped it up. Used the Chinese eyeballing method (because dedicated tea thermometers are probably expensive) and set it to "fish eye-sized". Set my tea timer to 2:30, but between walking from the kitchen counter to the PC and typing in the URL on my browser, I'm betting it took another 30 seconds.
Quarter teaspoon of tea.
Poured myself two cups (one with milk, one pure).
Pure: It has that marvellous scent, still strong. Sort of… roasted, now that I think about it. Roasted chocolate, then? Zero astringency. Rolling it around my tongue, very smooth. Again, zero astringency. I might even call it… dare I say, flat? Did I do something wrong? Still, it's rather interesting. The lack of astringency is very interesting, if strange…
Ah, no, there it is. Just a mild, barely noticeable drying, only with the cup almost empty.
Second cup is darker, came from the lower half of the pot. Put in some milk, maybe a tsp. Comes off as very caramel-ish now… almost like drinking evaporated milk. It's funny to say this, but apparently the tea was overpowered by the milk?
I'm guessing it's probably because I have a habit of stingily using less than half a teaspoon of tea for a whole 350ml teapot.
Still, I think I'll have it without milk, unless I start using full doses.
Overall a little flat, but I think that's because I use much less tea than recommended, and steep for less time. Give it a try anyway.
Flavors: Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Roasted, Sweet
This is really lovely, as TWG always is. I like to consider this tea a 'green tea' version of the usual black chai masala. It's spicy and yet tempered with a sophisticated sense of restraint that makes the blend smooth and not as punchy; I think its name is very apt. Great to wake up to if you don't like teas that kick you between the teeth.
I can't find any mention of this tea online! My husband went to Korea and visited one of the Seoul TWG shops for me. I had asked him to pick up London Breakfast, but all they had left was a tiny amount at the bottom of the tin (and I'm learning it's not anywhere near as lovely when it isn't fresh) so the ladies sold him this as a similar substitute. This tastes nothing like LB, but it is a nice breakfast tea with cream and sugar. I tried it plain and I found it unpalatable, but with the additions it is nice. I don't know what the cost was, but I'm sure I have had breakfast teas that were as lovely if not more, for a lower cost, that were easier to get. I'll likely go through this slowly and not reorder unless I have some sort of epiphany with this tea.
Have you ever had a honey flavored candy? This tea tastes like a faint floral version of that. The aroma is lovely and a little stronger than the taste. I'm having it with a little cream and sugar which I think I prefer over having it plain. I'm not really tasting the black base at all. I don't know that this will become a favorite, but I'm sure I will enjoy what I have. Big thanks to my hubby for picking this up for me in Korea! (He'll never read this, but it's out there anyway)
This is the second Chai I splurged on. I prefer this one to the Black Chai right now. It's like a combination of Davids Tea Pure Chai and TAZO chai lattes. What would take it to the next level is if it had more spice to it. I find the chai I've tried so far by TWG have been slightly unbalanced. They have been spiced, but not spicey. I like a little bite in my chai. I'm not sure how to accomplish this in the tea but, it is a good candidate. One thing I need to do is brew these teas for less time. I will evaluate it next time I have it.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Spices
I had this tea upon visiting Urban Tea Merchant. I'd never had a milk oolong before, but I've seen enough tasting notes on various other bands to see that there is something special about it.
I only had the first steeping, but it was smooth. So smooth! I got the creamy taste as well. It goes down easily and isn't overly powerful or fragrant. When you smell the dried version, it smells of kind of a sweet and sour milk, not buttermilk necessarily, but maybe something you might smell while enjoying bubble tea? Maybe condensed milk?
I enjoyed it and it's going on my wishlist. If anyone has any brands of milk tea they would recommend please let me know.
Flavors: Creamy, Milk
The quest for Black Chai tea continues.
Bought this along with two other TWG teas yesterday when I was downtown. I steeped this too long and it was bitter and astringent. The ginger really comes through though. This is definitely a tea that is better with milk and sugar to enhance the spices that are in the blend. Right now it's not on their website because it's a new tea so I can't even get the info on it. I will give a better review of this tea when I steep it properly.
At first sniff it smells like ginger, with spices in the background. I am not getting that sweet, spicy smell that I usually like in a chai. I'm not going to lie, I didn't buy this based on smell when I was in the store. They made me a sample of it and I didn't mind the taste of it (it was served straight, so not my usual preference for black tea.)
It has promise!
Flavors: Ginger
Steeped at 175 for 3 minutes and poured over ice!
I'm liking this cup! The ginger is there, but is mellow. I still don't get the juicy orchards, but the tea in the background is really well balanced. There is something a little more in the immediate after sip, but I can't put it into words. I think I'm going to become well acquainted with this tea as the weather heats up!
After reading the description, I'm not sure why I chose this tea. I do like ginger. Maybe it was the combo of different types of teas? Maybe I'll never know what I was thinking. I ended up steeping it at a low temp for a short period to avoid bitterness from the green and white tea, but not all of the leaves uncurled.
The ginger is odd here! Usually I find ginger to be a very bright high flavor, but it has a lot of depth to it here. My brain first thinks smokey and then I realize there is no smoke flavor. Adding sugar makes the ginger a little more crisp, but doesn't do anything other than that. Cream really doesn't add to it either. I get a hint of a hearty black tea that I didn't taste before. It isn't a bad tea, it just isn't meeting my ever rising bar of expectations. I might try it cold steeped before I totally give up on it.
Overall, Istanbul is kind of boring. I think I might spend my weekends elsewhere.
- edit * Second steeping at 195 for 3min is better. Ginger seems a little perkier. Still not wowing me.
First sip was a little green and bitter. I couldn't make out the flavors at all. The subsequent sips are much better! I get the green base mixed with the strawberries first and then the mint comes in at the back and rides out the aftertaste. I don't think I have ever had strawberries and mint, which is why this tea sounded so intriguing. Adding sugar really amps up the berry flavors! It is almost floral at the front of the sip, then I get sweet berries, then more floral and mint in the aftertaste. I must try this cold brewed and iced sometime! I bet the mint would perk up quite a bit! So far I like this!
Cold brew is the way to go on this! I cold brewed the tea bag overnight with some sugar added in (a little too much sugar) and it is way better than it was hot. The pineapple flavor really comes out nicely, but there is still that dirt/ginseng flavor. Don't think I'm a ginseng hater, I like it and it's alkaline taste, but it is a little odd mixed in a fruity tea. It blends okay with the pineapple at the beginning of the sip, but the aftertaste is all ginseng and reminds me of when I was younger and would get the liquid ginseng shots from some of the Asian markets near where I worked. I loved the little bottles they came in. As I get closer to the bottom of this cup, the ginseng seems to fade or maybe my brain is just muting it out, but the pineapple is more prominent and that is nice. I like this a lot better now! I still don't feel like it is something I'd pick out and buy, but I'm glad to have tried it.
I was sniffing this tea bag while waiting for the kettle to heat up and was trying to pin the familiar scent. Pineapple. It smells like pineapple candies I used to have when I was young. It still smells faintly of that once steeped and the pineapple comes out well in the flavor. I first get the pineapple flavor and when that trails off at the end of the sip, the ginseng creeps in and tastes a little like alkaline desert dirt, which is oddly nostalgic this time of year with the big burn in the desert coming up and all my friends who build the city posting that they are off to the playa already. Even so, it's an odd aftertaste that I'm not exactly at peace with. Adding sugar perks up the pineapple, but also amplifies the ginseng, which isn't what I was hoping for. Adding cream changes the whole thing again! Pineapple at the front of the sip is gone, but creeps in a little at the very end leaving just a suggestion of pineapple and the ginseng is really muted. I don't get any berries in this like the description says. This tea is interesting, it makes me consider trying more pineapple teas in the future, but I certainly wouldn't follow it to the check out lane and invite it home with me.

Specifically designed for alpine conditions, these body-moulded vests not only provide support and improve blood flow but also achieve that crucial combination of allowing sweat to evaporate and warmth to stay in better than any other base layer I have tried. However, they are not cheap.

"January skiing would be out without these heated soles", said the smug skier in the boot room as I nursed my freezing toes back to life last week. I tried these insoles the next day on Méribel's icy slopes and the results were pretty impressive. An electric wire leads from the soles to a tiny power pack that can be attached to your boot, keeping the worst of the cold at bay.

Kurita accused of improperly using PAC to pay expenses
NASHVILLE - The state Democratic party is accusing state Sen. Rosalind Kurita of improperly using a political action committee she operates to pay her campaign expenses in a bid for reelection.
A complaint filed today with the Registry of Election Finance says more than $25,000 was spent by Kurita Majority PAC in August and September to cover expenses in Kurita's Senate campaign. Under state law, the limit on PAC contributions is $7,500 per election.
Kurita was certified the winner of the August Democratic primary by a 19-vote margin, but the Democratic Executive Committee threw out the result and declared her primary opponent, Tim Barnes, winner of the Democratic nomination. Kurita is now running as a write-in candidate against Barnes in the November election.
There is no Republican candidate in the race and many Republicans are backing Kurita.
The complaint is the fourth filed with the Registry so far this election season.
One of the earlier complaints alleged that Terri Lynn Weaver, the Republican nominee in House District 40, took $2,500 for her campaign from from Albert McCall Sr. of Carthage, father of House 46th District Republican candidate A.J. McCall. That is $500 over the limit for donations by individuals.
Weaver says in a news release that acceptance of the extra $500 was a mistake and she has refunded the money and plans to file an amendment to her campaign disclosure.
Drew Rawlins, executive director of the Registry, says no amendment has yet been filed, but Weaver could wait and report the refund in a disclosure next week.
More details as they develop online and in Thursday's News Sentinel.

What happens to a CIA agent who authorizes the torture of an innocent citizen of a NATO ally, leaving a long trail of dumb mistakes behind? The answer appears to be: promotion. That's the message from an impressive Associated Press story by Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo, two of the best reporters covering the intelligence beat today. Newspapers around the country pared the AP story down, and the Washington Post mysteriously edited out critical details, but it's worth going straight to the AP site for the whole 3,700-word feature.
Here's a key fragment:
In December 2003, security forces boarded a bus in Macedonia and snatched a German citizen named Khaled el-Masri. For the next five months, el-Masri was a ghost. Only a select group of CIA officers knew he had been whisked to a secret prison for interrogation in Afghanistan. But he was the wrong guy.
A hard-charging CIA analyst had pushed the agency into one of the biggest diplomatic embarrassments of the U.S. war on terrorism. Yet despite recommendations by an internal review, the analyst was never punished. In fact, she has risen to one of the premier jobs in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, helping lead President Barack Obama's efforts to disrupt al-Qaida.
That "hard-charging CIA analyst," we learn, has now become the head of the Agency's Global Jihad Unit, responsible for tracking down Al Qaeda operatives—one of the most important posts in the agency. But who is she? AP explains that the CIA insists that her name not be used, not even her first name, which they indicate is "unusual." They identify her as "Frances." She figures prominently in an important 2005 article by Dana Priest, which details her notorious role in the el-Masri abduction. "She just had a hunch," Priest quotes a CIA official as saying. "She didn't know." It's unclear whether she is one of the thirteen CIA agents that German prosecutors indicted in January 2007, in a case that American diplomats subsequently tried to shut down with an unusual exhibition of raw political pressure, as a WikiLeaks cable disclosed.
In addition to Frances, we are also introduced to Elizabeth, a CIA lawyer eager to demonstrate a "can-do" mentality, who approved Frances's decision to kidnap and torture the innocent German greengrocer; Matt, in whose custody a prisoner froze to death in the CIA's infamous Salt Pit prison in Afghanistan; Albert, who decided to stage a mock execution to motivate a prisoner he was holding in Poland, and Ron, his boss, who watched the process go down and did nothing to stop it; Steve, who interrogated Manadel al-Jamadi to death; Baghdad station chief Gerry Meyer and his deputy Gordon, who introduced and operated the "ghost prisoner" system there; and others. There's only so much one can cover in 3,700 words.
The AP story juxtaposes the CIA internal probes with the military's culture of officer responsibility. The contrast between the CIA and the Navy, for instance, couldn't be stronger. If a ship goes aground, the commander faces an almost certain inquiry and disciplinary measures from which his career is unlikely to quickly recover. The CIA, by contrast, has a culture of impunity—blame is shared and institutionalized. As the AP investigation shows, even in cases that the CIA agrees were clear-cut mistakes, those who disrespect the law and particularly the rules for the protection of prisoners are likely to rise within the agency.
Such a culture has certain legal consequences. Under the doctrine of command responsibility, when an organization involved in warfare fails to punish or discipline those who engage in criminal conduct, criminal liability passes to the senior officers of that organization. That's a point for Leon Panetta and his senior deputies to ponder carefully. It is not just their reputations that are in jeopardy.

Chemists help find binding site of protein that allows plant growthSeptember 25, 2013 10:22 am | News | Comments
Using a new and super-sensitive instrument, researchers have discovered where a protein binds to plant cell walls, a process that loosens the cell walls and makes it possible for plants to grow. Finding that binding target has been a major challenge for structural biologists because there are only tiny amounts of the protein involved in cell growth and cell walls are very complex.
Microfluidic platform gives a clear look at a crucial step in cancer metastasisSeptember 20, 2013 1:31 pm | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Cancer cells metastasize in several stages—first by invading surrounding tissue, then by infiltrating and spreading via the circulatory system. Some circulating cells work their way out of the vascular network, eventually forming a secondary tumor. Now researchers have developed a microfluidic device that mimics the flow of cancer cells through a system of blood vessels. High-resolution time-lapse imaging captures the moment of metastasis.

More Reliable Nanoflow OperationAugust 29, 2013 8:36 am | Thermo Fisher Scientific | Award Winners
Nanoflow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry is used for qualitative and quantitative proteomics studies due to its high sensitivity. However, traditional nanoflow operation can be unreliable, and small imperfections when making connections between the tubing, column, high-voltage electrode and emitter can result in irreproducible results. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s EASY-Spray nano-electrospray ion source addresses this through the use of specifically designed devices in which the separation column, heater, high-voltage electrode and emitter are integrated in a ready-made assembly.
Ion Chromatography, IntegratedAugust 29, 2013 8:20 am | Thermo Fisher Scientific | Award Winners
Ion chromatography (IC) is an analytical technique for the separation and determination of anionic and cationic analytes in various sample matrices. By introducing a high-pressure reagent-free IC system that successfully integrates conductive, electrochemical and charge detection, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has brought a new level of performance and speed to this important separations process.
Power of the ChipAugust 28, 2013 2:52 pm | Award Winners
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a standard method for characterizing protein stability, but has been limited by slow scan rates of up to one hour per sample, as well as the need for large amounts of expensive sample material. A compact, flow-through sensor developed by NevadaNano may offer a solution by enabling small-volume, high-throughput protein stability screening.
Breaking the Mass Spec LogjamAugust 28, 2013 8:07 am | Award Winners
Mass spectrometers offer an accurate way to profile the metabolites of biological reactions, but current technologies rely on time-consuming chromatography techniques for sample preparation, and are costly for large-scale screens. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists have removed this barrier with HT-NIMS Screening technology, which simplifies sample preparation and boosts machine throughput a hundred-fold.
New Configuration for ICP-MSAugust 28, 2013 8:06 am | Agilent Technologies Inc. | Award Winners
When inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was first developed, it was expected to provide highly sensitive, interference-free spectroscopic element analysis. However, chemists quickly noticed that ICP-MS suffers from numerous interferences resulting from matrix and plasma ions of matching masses. To address these sufferings, Agilent Technologies International Japan Ltd. developed the Agilent 8800 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS (ICP-QQQ), which is the first ICP-MS with a tandem mass spectrometer, or MS/MS, configuration.
Innovation in Biomolecular QuantitationAugust 28, 2013 8:05 am | Award Winners
Conventional assays based on UV-Vis spectroscopy rely on absorbance by tryptophane and tyrosine residues with minor contribution from cysteine, and therefore have limited utility. However, EMD Millipore's Direct Detect is a mid-infrared (MIR)-based spectroscopy system for protein quantitation that does not rely on amino acid composition, dye-binding properties or redox potential.
Handheld Law EnforcementAugust 28, 2013 8:04 am | Thermo Fisher Scientific | Award Winners

Optical Spectroscopy, IntegratedAugust 28, 2013 8:03 am | Award Winners
Often, industrial process control applications rely on analytical instrumentation for off-line analysis of products. On-line analysis is much faster, but effective tools like optical spectroscopy are difficult to integrate owing to the wide variety of illumination, interfacing and modalities for a given task. P&P Optica Inc. has developed the PPO SWIR Spectrometer to specifically address industrial process monitoring needs.
Powerful Spectrometer, Compact SizeAugust 28, 2013 8:03 am | Thermo Fisher Scientific | Award Winners

Hezbollah says landslide win means Syria rebels, west can't demand Assad quit
'Any political solution in Syria begins and ends with President Bashar Assad,' says militia leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Syrian President Bashar Assad's landslide election victory means that his civil war foes can no longer call for his departure as a precondition for peace, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said on Friday.
The leader of the Lebanese group that has sent fighters to back the Syrian president, described the vote as a victory for Syria.
Assad's foes called the election a charade.
"This election tells the opposition and all regional countries and the world that any political solution in Syria begins and ends with President Bashar Assad," Nasrallah told supporters via a video link.
"You can no longer put the resignation of the president as a precondition."
Assad is struggling to end a more than three-year revolt which started as peaceful anti-government demonstrations that descended into civil war.
Assad's opponents say his resignation is a precondition for any future peace agreement.

The DeskLife Studio Plus certainly stands out amongst external USB hard drives, for two primary reasons. We've seen external hard drives with inbuilt docks before, but the DeskLife Studio Plus takes this to an extreme, building the dock base right into the drive itself. This makes it very easy to stand up on a desk, but tougher to accommodate for moving about. With that in mind, the combined dock and 2TB drive we tested comes with an embedded magnetic dock for a 4GB USB Flash drive that clips on the front of the drive itself. The idea's pretty simple. Your most-used files go onto the flash drive, while your larger backups sit on the main drive itself. The drive comes with an AC power adaptor, further tethering it to a desk, although the upside of this is that it requires only one USB 2.0 port to operate.
A front-mounted USB Flash drive is what makes this the DeskLife Studio "Plus" model. You can purchase just a DeskLife model sans the Flash drive for AU$249 compared to the $279.99 price of the USB equipped model.
The other facet of the DeskLife's offering is Hitachi's LifeStudio software. This offers a sorting and viewing mechanism for common file types, as well as limited live streaming. In the US, this includes Hulu, but locally that's not an option. What we do get online is cloud storage for backup. The first 3GB is free, with an option to purchase 250GB online for US$49 per year.
The LifeStudio connects up and will take up to three drive letters. One for the installation partition, one for the main 2TB partition and one for the flash drive if it's connected. The Flash drive does use a standard USB interface beneath a cap, but when magnetically connected it's also read/write capable.

Looking for fruit salad tree in Houston, tx
Does anyone know where I can buy some fruit salad tree in Houston or nearby area? Im looking for something like either different kinds of orange in one tree or different kinds of plum/peach on one tree. Thanks in advance for your help.
Houston Plant and Garden World has had 3 or 4 - in -1 peach trees in the past...not sure what they have now. I have not seen a fruit salad citrus tree for sale in Texas...probably have to graft it yourself.
Here is a link that might be useful: Houston Plant & Garden World
Check out ebay and type in 'FRUIT COCKTAIL TREE' and then at the top left click the category 'Home & Gardening' you will find it. They are selling them for only $29.99 plus $10 shipping. The tree is probably young and it will take 2 years to produce fruit but well worth the wait if it produces many fruits on one tree.
Enjoy your new tree!!!
I've seen them at Enchanted Gardens in Richmond, TX. They have Low Chill fruit salad/cocktail trees. (plum, peach, nectarine, apricot)
They get them in around January and they don't last long. I missed them this year, but I will be calling and going as soon as they come in.
Here is a link that might be useful: Enchanted Gardens
One of the neat things about a multi-grafted tree is that the different varieties that are grafted onto the rootstock should pollinate each other (assuming they bloom at the same time) so you only need one tree. Sometimes one variety can become dominant - you have to keep an eye of the growth of the branches and prune appropriately.
Usually "fruit salad" trees are not as, umm, salady, as the title would suggest. It's usually several varieties of the same fruit, such as 4 different citrus, 4 different apples, or 4 different pears. You won't see a tree with an apple, pear, and orange all on one tree, because those fruits require different rootstocks. The exception would be stone fruits - I think I've seen trees for sale with plums, peaches, and nectarines all on one tree. I don't know if those would pollinate each other or not. However, I think stone fruits are more often self fertile than apples and pears, which usually do better with a pollinator. I think all citrus is self-fertile.

I read of the boards regarding the $6.50 per day mandatory charge that princess will be charging to shipboard account starting January and I was wondering if i should tip at all now. I am sailing on the Ocean princess in april. Also, who also gets tipped besides the cabin steward and the maitre d?
RE: tipping
Hi Cole,
You also tip the assistant waiter, (usually half the amount of the waiter). You tip the waiter also. There is some debate about tipping the maitre d, most agree that unless he does something above and beyound the normal duties, that it its required. What tips does that $6.50 cover, do you know? I did hear something about this, but don't have all the details. BTW, cruised on Ocean earlier in the year and absolutely love that ship, enjoy.
RE: tipping
$6.50 per day isn't much. Are you sure that doesn't include the waiter and the steward? Most people also tip the busboy. Most do NOT tip the maitre D' unless he does you a favor.
RE: tipping
the 6.50 per day is for the DR waiter and bus boy combo, this is due to the new policy of eating where you want and with whoever you want as opposed to set DR times and tables, it doesn`t include anyone else,eg. room stewards, head waiters etc. we were on the xmas sailing of the Ocean Princess and this new plan wasn`t in place yet, thank goodness, I strongly object to adding tips automatically before you even know if there is good service and would advise everyone to have these tips removed by the pursers office, it gives no incentive for the staff to give good service as we found in the open seating policy for b/fast and lunch.....very lacksadaisicle(sp) I prefer to hand my tips personally to whomever I decide to tip, having them charged to your sign and sail card does not guarantee them getting to the right people, ...jean
RE: tipping
On Carnival its $9.75 per day/per person. This is for your waiter, bus boy and cabin stewart. Envelopes were left in your cabin and you handed the individual envelopes to these people during the dinner on your last night. I had no problem at all. The service was great, and the staff was a delight but... I've just heard that Carnival is starting to charge the tip on your sail card when you board. This I have a problem with.
RE: tipping
I suggest everyone, upon boarding, having the gratuities removed from their Sail and Sign Card and tipping in the more personal and traditional manner for service "received", not anticipated. Also suggest everyone note your objection to the automatic tipping on your exit comment cards.
RE: tipping
My plans exactly. Board, visit purser have "automatice tips" removed and then tip traditional. I really obeject to Princess moving their guideline up 36% from $4.75 for waiter and assistnat waiter to $6.50 for all "dining personnel". BTW I usually tip at a lvel at least twice the guidlines. So the Amount isn't in questions the "mandatory" nature is the problem.
Re: tipping
I thought I saw something on the most recent CruiseMates newsletter on this ... if I remember correctly, the new tipping policy applies only to the Grand at this time. You might want to check out the newsletter for more information.

AKC Master Hunter - Chesapeake Bay Retriever Hunting Dog Pictures
Breed: Chesapeake Bay Retriever
From: Julie Reardon
Posted: Dec 15, 2010
New Chesapeake Female Master Hunter
HRCH Hope Springs Dowry MH has joined an elite group of female Chesapeake Bay Retrievers to carry both the UKC Hunting Retriever Champion and AKC Master Hunter title, earned this November with her 5th Master pass at Cheraw, S.C. Sterling, or Fatty as owner Alan Sandifer affectionately calls her, has won many fans since he bought her from Hope Springs Farm two years ago. People love her eye catching silver ash color and friendly outgoing disposition. She's also got the famous Chesapeake smile, and an outstanding work ethic. She's even made believers among the Labrador field trial and hunt test community, a group that is generally dismissive of Chesapeakes.
That's because Sterling is lightning fast both going out and returning, and runs as hard on her blinds as she does on her marks. She's also a pretty girl, with a thick, wavy and unusually colored ash coat, a color rarely seen in the breed.
Sterling was the only female in a litter of seven whelped at Hope Springs in 2006 out of outstanding producer and breathlessly gorgeous CH Puffin II JH CD WDX. She's sired by a deadgrass Eastern Shore working dog with hunt test and field trial accomplishments, Southern Md's Dances with Wolves MH**WDQ. Her dam, the multi-talented Puffin, is now retired but still hunts and is still a magnificent looking Chesapeake at age 10. However, Puffin never particularly enjoyed competing, unlike her offspring, and she got test-wise, so other than a few passes at the senior/intermediate level, along with one open obedience pass, she never attained the titles that came so easily to Sterling.
Sterling was sold twice as a young dog, and had some sporadic good training and her JH at 8 months, but she never enjoyed the consistency so important in a young dog's foundation. And, as one of many in large kennels until Alan got her, perhaps she was just biding her time waiting for her own person.
Alan and Sterling bonded immediately. She was big and pregnant when he got her as a two-year-old, hence he started calling her Fatty. Although she's on the small side and powerfully built, she and her owner are anything but fat, so people chuckle at the nickname.
This little silver dog has a huge heart; and it's hard for people that see her with Alan to imagine she wasn't raised by him from puppyhood. They read each other well; their bond is that tight. As close as they are though, Sterling is a happy Chesapeake that simply loves fetching birds anywhere and any place, whether hunting or hunt tests. She'll run for anyone, and her tail is always wagging. It's a pleasure to watch her work with her handler setting up for a blind retrieve, with her tail clearing a swath as she lets the handler fine tune her. It wags the entire time, from the first send to the return to heel, no matter who's handling. In fact, Alan's friend and talented dog handler Tammy Cook handled Sterling to two of her Master passes, including her title. Alan was working at the National Open Retriever Championship event held near his home in Mississippi this year, and couldn't make the final hunt test in S.C.
Now that Fatty's earned her well-deserved Master title, Alan plans to enjoy what they like best: hunting the flooded timber and flyways of the Mississippi Delta. They'll keep training and perhaps try some qualifying stakes next spring We'd like to congratulate the pair for a job well done, and wish them many limits this season.

Whether you want Tex-Mex (Americanized) or authentic Mexican you can get it here! The food was incredible and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was very good as well. The only thing missing was a strolling Mariachi band.
I tried the fajitas combo, steak, chicken, and shrimp, amazing flavor. Great menu, friendly servers, nice inside and out. Definitely coming back
We were travelling through to Asheville, stopped for the night and had dinner at El Rodeo. Prices were amazingly reasonable and the food was delicious. Margaritas aren't too bad either. Exit 246 at Roanoke on I-81.
My wife and I recently had dinner at El Rodeo. We've been there several times and have always enjoyed our meals. I've tried a number of their entrees in the past. This time I had shrimp caliente. Ordering seafood in Roanoke can be a risky venture but this one paid off. I received a very large serving of perfectly cooked...
This restaurant is awesome! The food was great. That was the best carne asada I have ever ate. The restaurant is beautiful. The atmosphere was great. The service was great. WORTH THE MONEY!! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Thia was a family outing for Mothers Day, my Mother in Law loves Mexican and so does my wife.
The service was excellent, the potions are very large, we shared dinner entrees between 2 of us and still could not eat it all, we had leftovers to take home with us. I love good ice tea and theirs is excellent....
We first went here a couple weeks ago while our daughter attended the Hunter Hayes concert at the Roanoke Civic Center. We loved our meal and the service. The portions are huge. My husband raved about his burrito and taco and said they were probably some of the best he has ever had. We both also loved the rice. We...
We recently had a great lunch at El Rodeo on Electric Road in Roanoke. The service was prompt & friendly and the beer was nice and cold. Each of our entree's was delicious with ample proportions that we had leftovers to take home with us. Our waiter was particularly attentive to getting our 3 year granddaughter's order just right. He...
This place is sitting on top of a hill, and it has fabulous outdoor dining the décor is relevant to the Hispanic culture, and the food has a great taste, its authentic but also for those who are into a Tex-Mex which is an Americanized Mexican food this place has it all, they sometimes on special occasions have Mariachi bands,...
This local chain is popular, but I don't know why. The food is just not very good. Once I ordered chiles relleno. I got a green bell pepper stuffed with ground beef with a slice of processed cheese on top. Ugh. We just avoid El Rodeo now.

Sounds like fun but a little cool out there. Regarding my RRA 16" 308 it is a 1 MOA Rifle. In fact I used it on the Outdoor Channel to pop an 8 point buck in Texas. For a shorter barreled rifle it is a shooter. I am kind of proud of it also since its serial number is Rock River's #3 produced 308.
BY the way I think I may have mentioned I have a FN-LAR NM Rifle I bought in 1985. And as far as commercial built FNs DSA does a good job on theirs.
check out the new ,truly ambidextrious kel -tec bullpup ...yes bullpup.around 1200-1400 ...its bad .as a lefty im saving my coins right now ..18'' barrels for now up to over 30'' to come later ..and the best part moa accurate
I saw those, might have to check one out in a year or two when I get the play money built up again. I'm left handed, but have dominant right eye, so I shoot right handed.
Never have fired a Kel-Tec Bull pup but bet it would be fun. They are 308? Need to do some research on the Internet to take a look at one.
By the way! Anyone going to the Shot Show the 18th?

Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls
Artist: Sean Kingston
Featuring: Jonathan 'J.R.' Rotem
Producer: Jonathan 'JR' Rotem
Album: Musical Youth
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 31 votes )
Straight out of Jamaica and now fully rooted in Miami, Sean Kingston is a 17-year old phenom who can rap, sing, harmonize and chant reggae. Beautiful Girls, a single produced by JR Rotem on the Beluga Heights label, is a song of summer love. Combining elements of Motown, Reggae and old skool R&B (think Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" meeting the Electronic Voice Box), Beautiful Girls is a sweet song about idealistic love and dangerous beauty. It's a catchy piece that makes you happy to get your heart broken. Well, almost.
