On June 26, 2014, Kathy Fraumeni a Certified Reiki Therapy specialist from Freehold, NJ spoke to Manalapan health Examiner Stacey Chillemi." Kathy Fraumeni gave Chillemi a rundown of the ancient Japanese healing technique called Reiki. Reiki is used to help with heal numerous medical conditions that affect people in their daily lives including sexual abuse and other traumatizing events that can negatively affect a person's life. This interview has just been released to the public and Manalapan health Examiner is here to share it exclusively with you.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki performed by "laying hands on our bodies" and the concept is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of living a happy, healthy and productive life.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words. Rei, which means, "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki, which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results, says Kathy.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and problem and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Here are some of the benefits of Reiki:
- Reiki reduces stress and promotes relaxation, which triggers the body's natural healing abilities (immune system), aids in better sleep and improves and maintains health.
- Reiki helps bring about inner peace and harmony. It can be valuable tool in the quest for spiritual growth
- Reiki also balances the mind and emotions. Regular Reiki treatments can bring about a calmer and more peaceful state of being, in which a person is better able to cope with everyday stress.
- Reiki promotes mental balance into one's life enhancing learning, memory and mental clarity. Reiki can heal mental/emotional wounds.
- Reiki can help individuals overcome the dysfunction they had experienced in their lives, including in more severe situations.
- Reiki can help alleviate mood swings, fear, frustration and even anger.
- Reiki can also strengthen and heal personal relationships. Because Reiki enhances your capability to love, it can open you up to the people around you and help your relationships grow. By improving your capacity for empathy, Reiki allows you to connect with people on a deeper level.
- Reiki offers relief during emotional distress and sorrow. Reiki helps in the grieving process. It cleans and clears the emotions, preventing them from taking control and destroying your life.
- On the physical level, Reiki helps to relieve pain from various medical conditions (ex. migraines, arthritis, sciatica are just a few). It also helps with symptoms of asthma, chronic fatigue, menopausal symptoms, and insomnia.
- Reiki speeds up recovery from surgery or long-term illness. As it helps in adjusting to medicine/treatment, it also tends to reduce side effects. For example, Chemotherapy patients who received Reiki noticed a marked decrease in side effects from treatment.
- Reiki can be an effective way to treat immediate problems, such as physical or mental illness.
Reiki therapy can treat and heal numerous conditions. Some but it can perhaps even prevent them from ever developing, says Kathy Fraumeni.
Adults, babies, toddlers, children, elderly and even pets can receive Reiki. Reiki specialist Kathy Fraumeni offers an innovative approach with substantial information and real answers for you in her office in Freehold, NJ. Kathy has helped many improve their health that has had a positive life changing affect in their daily-to-day lives.
Interested yet a little skeptical I decided to visit Kathy in her office in Freehold, NJ. Kathy performed Reiki Therapy on me for one hour. As you made your way into her office, the design of the room alone gave you a very calming feeling, which was an excellent way to begin the session. The music in the background was also very soothing as well. I got onto the table and closed my eyes as Kathy performed the Reiki Therapy on me. I could feel the warmness from her hands, it felt calming, and I could feel an energizing feeling flowing through different parts of my body. I thought Kathy had laid a warm towel on different parts of my body, when in actuality it was the essence of energy producing in certain parts of my body aiming to release any impurities. This is what caused parts of my body to feel so warm.
Afterwards, I felt very relaxed, calm and the tight muscles in my body, which has been causing me to experience joint pain, has lessened. I definitely felt an improvement and I will definitely come back for another session because it definitely improved the way I was feeling.
In the last decade, the interest in Alternative Medicine has increased to the point that 38% of American adults use some form of Complementary or Alternative Medicine. Worldwide the numbers are much higher. People worldwide are rejecting the notion that expensive synthetic chemical and prescription medications are the only answer to our medical issues and treatment for our ailments. Instead, they are grasping and utilizing the notion of natural and alternative therapies such as Reiki Therapy to treat mental and physical conditions affected my millions worldwide. For ages, modern medicine has been well aware that medications strip the body, leaving people feeling drowsy, fatigued, weak and prone to allergies, viruses and illnesses. Kathy Fraumeni helps many by healing their body naturally, so people do not destroy the necessary components in their body that they need to stay healthy and maintain optimum health.

Sony believes that its PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita consoles can do what the Wii U does. Earlier this year, as a response to the Wii U, Sony announced "Cross Play", where players can use the Vita as an extra screen for their PlayStation 3. This is the second time Sony makes this soft of claim. Back in June, they had the audacity to suggest the Vita was better than the Wii U.
This time, Sony's John Koller doesn't think the Wii U is anything special. He believes the combination of a PlayStation 3 console and a Vita can offer the same functionality. He said, "What the Wii U is offering is something that Vita and PS3 can do quite easily".
After Nintendo revealed the Wii U at E3 2011, Microsoft and Sony started their copiers and within a year, Microsoft had "SmartGlass", and Sony had "Cross Play" — both technologies mimic the Wii U's use of a tablet touchscreen controller. But unlike the Wii U, both SmartGlass and Vita Cross Play are gimmicks, as we pointed out in our in-depth article earlier this year. Even Nintendo said that they found the competing technologies from Microsoft and Sony "flattering".
For Sony to claim that their PS3 and its overpriced handheld little brother can do what the Wii U does is complete nonsense. First of all, developers cannot depend on gamers having a Vita, so any functionality built into it can never affect gameplay in any meaningful way. Secondly, a PlayStation 3 and Vita combination costs a lot more than the Wii U — the Vita alone retails for $250.
Not to mention that the Vita is probably the most failed Sony console to date. Since its launch, it has only sold about 2 million units, while its competitor, the Nintendo 3DS, has sold almost 20 million.

Who Do You Think You Are? Season Two: Episode Four
by Julie HillIn the fourth episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" actress Kim Cattrall dives into the 70+ year mystery of her grandfather's disappearance. In case you missed it here's a quick recap of this powerful, emotionally charged episode.
Kim's journey begins with a visit with her mother and aunts, who tell what little they remember of their father George Baugh. It's clear that the children suffered considerably after their father departed, left to grow up in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Great Brittan.
A newspaper clipping presented by Kim's aunts helps her to locate George's sisters Edna and Amy Baugh. They recall George as a smart but troubled youth, who had expressed dissatisfaction with his marriage. The sisters were also in the dark about his whereabouts, having had zero communication with him since his abrupt departure decades before. At this, it seemed that Kim's search was at a dead-end.
However, a researcher did some digging, and was able to find a record indicating that her grandfather had re-married less than a year after leaving his family. Since he never divorced, this meant he was a bigamist. In local parish records Kim was shocked to discover George had four other children with his new wife Isabella Oliver. Unfortunately, these facts began to confirm Kim's worst fears about her grandfather's character.
This break-through information allowed Kim to find contact information for Isabella's sister Maisie. Kim visited with Maisie and her daughter Shelia, who were able to help put the rest of the story together. It turns out, George met Isabella and had daughter Irene in 1938. Isabella and her family were never aware of George's other wife or children. Ultimately, George and Isabella left with their children for Australia in the 1960's. George subsequently passed away in 1974.
Kim's disappointment in her grandfather was palpable. From her investigation it was clear George had no justification for leaving his family the way he did, and demonstrated no remorse for his actions. Kim delivered the news to her mother and aunts, who displayed mixed emotions - grateful to know the fate of their father, but hurt by his disregard for their family.
Though Kim's story was bittersweet, it ultimately brought her closer to her existing family, and gave her greater respect for hardship that her grandmother, mother, and aunts endured. She says, "..and that's a great gift." This is a great lesson for any family historian - though you may not find a happy ending, the journey will always be worth your while.

Pirate camps on the Somali coast may now also be tackled from Dutch ships. The Dutch Government approved the expansion of the Atalanta counterpiracy mission and informed the House of Representatives of the decision on 6 April. However, military personnel will not set foot on land for the purposes of this EU operation.
The multipurpose frigate HNLMS Van Amstel, currently at sea just off the coast of East Africa, is deployed in the area until June 2012.
This new way of operating fits in with the Government's endeavour to fight pirates as effectively as possible. The Somali government has also given its consent to the EU decision, which is in line with United Nations Security Council resolutions. The Dutch Government also decided to change the Dutch contribution to NATO's Operation Ocean Shield for the second half of this year. HNLMS Evertsen will sail with a Lynx helicopter on board from June to August 2012, after which the Lynx will be phased out pending the arrival of the new NH90 helicopters. For that reason, the deployment of HNLMS Tromp will be cancelled from September.

The Fine Diner project is based on the employees of a fine comfort food establishment called "Angler's Diner". It is set some time in the future in New York City. Its employees are Chef Eric, Waitress Lana, Cook Mario, and its owner, HF-01. It is immensely popular due to the fact that Chef Eric is very well known in culinary circles around the country. After owning his own fine cuisine establishment, Chef Eric decided to open a diner with HF-01 as a partner and hired the best staff any diner could know. As a poor immigrant, Chef Eric used to eat at diners during his first years in the city because they served cheap and delicious food. He still holds the comfort food he savored in these places as his favorite.
Genetics and robotics have progressed considerably, and therefore, there are not only races in the world, but new species, too. The characters in the diner are all genetic hybrids who have characteristics of human beings and sea creatures.
My interest in this project comes from two sources: our current technological trends and the possibilities of development in the future, and my love for food! I decided to work on this project because I felt that I could develop many ideas and design concepts from this basic premise.Animation, Character Design, Game Design2013 -

The Collected Stories of Robert Silverberg, Vol. 4: Trips 1972-73 | |||||||
Robert Silverberg | |||||||
Subterranean Press, 416 pages | |||||||
A review by Steven H Silver
However, while some of the stories in Trips don't stand up to the test of time, many of them do. "Born with
the Dead," which went on to win a Nebula Award for Silverberg, is perhaps the most successful of the stories
included, but others, such as the titular "Trips" or "The Dybbuk of Mazel Tov IV" stand the test of
time. These stories show that no matter how much Silverberg was feeling that times were changing around him,
he could still tell a good story.
Silverberg portrays the period as a time of rampant narrative experimentation, and his stories do demonstrate
the sort of thing that was happening. "Breckenridge and the Continuum," for instance, is a less than successful
trying to be too many things and almost consciously trying to set itself apart from the other stories in
Silverberg's canon.
Generally, Silverberg's concerns about his writing are less in evidence within the text of his stories, and
only come to light in the introductions which in some ways give a better indication of the times than the
stories themselves. In these pieces, Silverberg talks about personal issues he was having and relates them
to the way the world was changing in the early 70s. They provide a context for the stories which can
stand on their own, but which are stronger for having a background against which to read them.
While the introductions add quite a bit to the collection, the strength is in the stories, nearly all of
which, even when Silverberg is at his most experimental, manage to stand up to the passage of nearly
four decades. The few stories that show their age, like the anthropological tale "Schwartz Between the
Galaxies," can be seen as indicative of the period in which they were written. They remind the reader
that all authors can have weak outings, perhaps especially when trying to shoehorn themselves into a
newer style of writing than they are used to.
For the most part, Trips is a good introduction to Silverberg's writing.
There are a few very strong pieces and a few which haven't aged well, most of the stories
demonstrate Silverberg's creative quality and show a journeyman's ability to both entertain and
make the reader think about the situation he has proposed.

Sunset Overdrive thinks punk rock began with Blink-182
What is punk?
Defining a subculture feels like a fool's errand because everyone hoofs a different trail to join one. When it comes to punk, though, the best summation I've seen comes from The Economist: "The point … is to flout convention." Somehow, the origins of that particular interpretation—a stuffy British political weekly—are extremely fitting.
But as ...

I have a function that receives an Iterator. I need to iterate through the list of elements more than once in the same routine. However, once I've used the iterator once, there is no way to get back to the first element. I could pass in the Container instead of just an Iterator, but I would prefer not to. In C++, I would just copy the iterator, but I can't (or don't know how to) do this in Java.
For those to whom code says more than words, an example:
boolean frabulateTheFoobars(Iterator it) { // first make sure all the Foobars are tasty while (it.hasNext()) { Foobar foobar = (Foobar) it.next(); if (!foobar.isTasty()) { return false; // these Foobars can't be frabulated } } // do what we came here for while (it.hasNext()) { Foobar foobar = (Foobar) it.next(); foobar.frabulate(); } return true; }
Much thanks, Eric

I've encountered a question: How is $e^x$ related to its probability density function $\lambda e^{-\lambda x} (x>0)$?
Take the 2-minute tour
Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Let $\lambda$ be a positive real number. The random variable $X$ has exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$ if the density function $f_X(x)$ is given by $f_X(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}$ if $x\ge 0$, and $f_X(x)=0$ for $x\lt 0$. It turns out that for such a random variable $X$, we have $$\Pr(X\gt x)=e^{-\lambda x}$$ if $x\ge 0$. So the probability that $X \gt x$ decays exponentially as $x$ increases. That is probably the motivation for calling the distribution exponential. Sometimes, one says that $X$ has exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$ by writing $X$ ~ $\text{Exp}(\lambda)$. One should not confuse this with the exponential function $\exp(x)$, which is just another name for $e^x$. |

In his recent post 100 most read R posts for 2012 (stats from R-bloggers) – big data, visualization, data manipulation, and other languages Tal Galili - the guy behind R-Bloggers - presents his wishlist for 2013. Among other things he states
"The next step will be to have a "publish to your WordPress/blogger" button right from the RStudio console – allowing for the smoothest R blogging experience one could dream of.
I hope we'll see this as early as possible in 2013."
Given that I had some troubles myself recently with finding a convenient way of creating post for this blog (a blogspot site) and that I didn't want to wait until RStudio may integrate such functionality, I decided to come up with my own work around for the time being.
But let's start from the beginning:
What I want:
- I want to blog
- I want to blog using RStudio's R markdown framework (as it is very convenient)
- I want to have code highlighting in my posts
What I don't want:
- I don't want to manually fiddle around in the html code for each of the posts I create with RStudio
- I don't want write blog posts using the compose section on blogger
- Basically, I don't want to spend a lot of time on formatting (I rather spend the time on coding)
Why I want this:
- For starters, because I'm lazy
- Secondly, I want to integrate blogging into my teaching in the near future and for that I need a convenient and straight forward solution on how to create nice posts (after all I want to teach the students how to use R, not html)
The solution (as of now) is as follows (at least for me):
Yihui Xie has produced a SyntaxHighlighter Brush for the R Language which can be used for highlighting R code in blog posts.
In order to get the SyntaxHighlighter working on your blog, simply follow this tutorial at thebiobucket*.
However, the SyntaxHighlighter by Alex Gorbatchev, and subsequently also Yihui's brush for R, works a little different from the knitr code highlighting implementation. Basically, a chunk of code created with knitr is prepended by this little bit of html code:

whereas SyntaxHighlighter requires the following format for it to work:

In order to automate the process of adjusting the brush definition needed for code highlighting using the SyntaxHighlighter brush I created the follwing function:
rmd2blogger <- function(rmdfile) { stopifnot(require(knitr)) ## knit rmdfile to  - only html knit2html(rmdfile, fragment.only = TRUE) ## read knitted html file htm.name <- gsub(".Rmd", ".html", rmdfile) tmp <- readLines(htm.name) ## substitue important parts tmp <- gsub("
", "
", tmp) tmp <- gsub("
", "
", tmp) ## write with .blg file ending writeLines(tmp, paste(htm.name, ".blg", sep ="")) }
This function has two important components to it:
- it uses knitr's knit2html with fragment.only set to TRUE, which means your only creating the
part of the html. - it produces a .html.blg file in the path where the .Rmd is located where all syntax highlighting brushes are formatted to work with Yihui's R brush
To use it, simply provide the path to the .Rmd file you want to publish on your blogspot.
Now, you can simply open the .html.blg file in a text editor and copy the complete contents into the html editor for a new post on your blogger site and the code R should look like the one above.
In case you find any bugs, please let me know.

Gresso shows off super high end iPhone cases at #CESlive
Gresso, a very high end case and smartphone manufacturer, is live at CES 2014 showing off some of their new case collections for iPhone. They've got several different types of cases from hard to soft to pouch and latch. Materials also vary including leather and other high quality materials.
For those not familiar with Gresso, they've released some very high end cases in the past including titanium bumpers for iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s that started at $1,500. No word on pricing for Gresso's new collections just yet but we'd imagine they're a little more attainable than their current offerings.
We'll update with pricing as we know more but for now, keep your browser locked to our #CESlive page for all the CES 2014 coverage you could ask for.

First time director Prashant Nair painted a vibrant picture of India through his independent film Delhi In a Day that released recently. We spoke to the young filmmaker on the making of the film that's set in a Delhi household and spans a day in the life of a foreigner who finds his money stolen before he could discover the real India. Excerpts from the interview.
What is the real India according to you? And which part of it did you want to explore?
There are many real Indias that co-exist and that's an aspect I wanted to explore by having an ensemble, with a multitude of characters from different "realities" in the household and spending time with each. I'm sure if you ask Lillete Dubey's character what her idea of India is it would differ drastically from Anjali Patil's character's response. What I wanted to portray was how, even in the confines of a single home, there can be such drastically different realities and how precarious that can be. I also wanted to play off this notion of multiple Indias by telling the story through the eyes of an international visitor who, in turn, arrives with his own very preconceived ideas of what India is.
When Jasper, the foreigner, comes to India, he seems to see every cliché associated with India — loud taxi drivers who rip off foreigners, traffic, elephants on the road...
Jasper comes to India with naïve intentions, imagining he's going to have a journey that will lead him out of a stagnant phase in his own life, just as many travellers do. He imagines he'll find spirituality, exoticism, and adventure. He has motivations that are very self-centered. Instead he has a completely different experience but, from my perspective, a journey that is much more profound.
I did want to start with a few of those clichés and then depart from that quickly as he is plunged into the chaos of the Bhatia household. It also serves to contrast the two worlds: that of the adventurer/traveller who expects the "Incredible India" advert experience versus the very real, materialistic and modern world of the family he stays with.
How did you go about the casting process? And how easy was it to get funding?
Fortunately Victor Bannerjee, Lillete and Kulbhushan Kharbanda are all very open to working with first-time directors. Once they read and approved of the script and roles, we sat down and got to know each other before they very graciously gave the go ahead to embark on this low-budget adventure. For practically all of the staff roles, I cast out of the National School of Drama. Anjali happened to be in the hallways of NSD when we spotted her. It was a stroke of luck as I think everyone who has seen the film can't imagine it without her. Vidya Bhushan, who plays Raghu Kaka, is an ex-RAW officer who is now a full-time theatre actor. I heard his voice and that was it.
I never tried to raise funds from traditional sources as it was a first film and I had no prior track record and no industry connections. I had to scrape together the funds personally and shoot on a small budget. We did the film for under a crore.
A lot of foreign technicians seem to have worked on the film. Were you worried about getting exotic India instead of real India?
I had worked with Eun-Ah Lee, the Director of Photography, on a short film in New York and I am a huge fan. I was excited to see how she'd capture India and I wanted someone who'd have an eye for details we might take for granted. For the music, a friend in Paris introduced me to Mathias Duplessy who had also done the score for Peepli Live. We got along really well and I felt he'd be great at scoring the film in a way that was representative of the "collision of worlds" theme that's very present in the film. For editing, we had Bhuvan Srinivasan in Chennai who has worked on Shaitan and Raavan with Sreekar Prasad as well as a French editor, Sylvie Landra, who edited the 5 Element and The Professional. I think the film benefits from the mix of international and Indian crew and technicians.

Ne-Yo - The Way You Move
Artist: Ne-Yo
Featuring: Trey Songz, T-Pain
Producer: 2fifty3
Album: The Cracks in Mr. Perfect
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 18 votes )
Previously released as part of DJ Wonda's latest Tough Love tape, Ne-Yo's The Way You Move has just received a promotion to lead single off the R&B hitmaker's next studio album. And it's not hard to see why; presented here in its untagged form, the steamy ballad boasts all the makings of a hit, including a smooth (sadly uncredited) instrumental, a lovelorn lyrical theme and not one but two heavyweight guest features (T-Pain and Trey Songz). This record is available now for purchase on iTunes, and fans can keep it locked for all the latest on Ne-Yo's next album, The Cracks in Mr. Perfect (coming in 2012).

(1) Fri Apr 03 2009 23:11 New Pawnshop:
Near the Astoria Boulevard stop there's a brand new pawn shop. It's got those triangle-shaped flags you see on car lots and a gaudy new sign and everything. Now, I've pawned the family silver many a time, so I'm no stranger to these dens of despair. But what would a new pawn shop sell?
Well, it turns out you can buy standardized display boxes of jewelry, and new pawn shops sell that. There were also some sports trophies, which seems strange. Despite my boast in the previous paragraph I know nothing about pawn shops, but who would buy someone else's sports trophies? Were they just to make it look pawn shop-y? Is it Phil Hartman's sentimental pawn shop?
Update: Maybe it was pro sports memorabilia that just looked like a trophy. Another thing you could pre-buy to stock your shop.

I think the family silver got sold at the estate sale. You probably would have made more pawning it.

The Best and Worst of 2006
By Amanda Schwarz
Lipton Pyramid Teabag
Zarafina Tea Maker
Adagio Teas' Pyramid Teabag
The end of a year is a good time to reflect on the events of 365 days prior. Many a pundit will compile a list of what was best and worst in 2006. Not to be left out, I present my own take on the high and low points of the year that's drawing to close, a period replete with departures and deception as well as ingenuity and promise.
We begin with five dubious candidates:
Hopping with glee on the "tea is a weight loss miracle beverage" bandwagon, Nestea has brought us Enviga, sparkling green tea. According to the manufacturer, daily consumption of three 12oz cans of Enviga will result in a loss of 60 to 100 calories. Doing the math, each can is purported to help one lose loss 20 to 33 calories. I had the "pleasure" of sampling two flavors of Enviga. Both caused me to belch uncontrollably, leaving a memorable taste of aspartame. It's fair to assume that it doesn't taste a thing like green tea, and I will confirm that assumption. Enviga is a nasty, gassy beverage. Considering the Enviga diet? Be prepared to lose friends.
Snapple White Tea
The little Chinese man portrayed in the company's ubiquitous TV commercials and his tealeaves add an air of authenticity to an entirely un-authentic beverage. Snapple White Tea tastes even more like simply sugar and fruit than its black tea and green tea siblings. People who are new to tea, are often excited to tell me they've tried white tea, and I cringe when they clarify by saying it was Snapple's. Thanks go to Snapple, for making authentic white tea that much more difficult for a sugar-craving public to understand, let alone palate.
Snobby Teavana
My personal experiences at Teavana have been few, due mostly to the fact that while those behind the counter know more about tea than the everyday consumer (which they should), they choose to put on airs about it (which they shouldn't). They seldom have time for questions of the novice. However, I scored a smile last week when asking the woman behind the counter whether the pu erh tea was loose leaf or cakes. Seems that I've discovered the secret password! Yippee! Unfortunately, the young woman proceeded to show me teas that didn't smell quite like they should, and blends that didn't make any sence (like one that featured green tea, white tea, pu erh teacakes with strawberry, pineapple and citris fruits? Huh?). Perhaps the company's aim to entice customers with tea's magic and mystery worked all too well. I left the store scratching my head.
Lipton Pyramid Teabags
If you take a mediocre product that many know and love (Lipton tea) and package it in a fantastic package whose time has come (the pyramid teabag), you will trick many into believing that the "tea" in the packaging is that much better. The reasoning behind the pyramid bag is to allow space for the tealeaf to unfurl and infuse. I've watched Lipton's dust and fannings "unfurl" in this bag, and let me tell you the leaves didn't take up very much more space than they did going in dry. The taste left me equally flat.
Jenaer Glas Closure
Back in March, our beloved Jenaer Glas closed its doors. Gone forever are this venerable company's take on lovely glass teapots and cups, not to mention innovative glasswares such as popcorn poppers, cheese domes and coffee pots. I love Jenaer's simple form and elegant design. Please, if you have any pieces at home, be careful and don't drop them!
Having dispensed with the bad, we now turn attention to the highlights of 2006:
The Zarafina Tea Maker
The tea maker of my dreams! Zarafina is a sexy, sassy, and talented tea machine. The only problems with it are that it only yields 2 cups max per infusion and needs involved cleaning afterward. But the machine makes the process of steeping a complete "no-brainer", which makes the effort used to clean it seem worth it. Watching the water heat and the basket of tea drop makes it seem like a tiny magic tea fountain. The matching teacups and teapot are well made, and fit the machine perfectly. Overall, a beautiful machine that makes a great cup of tea.
Snapple White Tea campaign
As much as I hate this campaign, I love that it has introduced the American public to White Tea. I also love the man in the field, and his catch phrase "we pluck 'em." Hey Snapple guy - you didn't have to go all the way to China to find out what White Tea is, but we're glad you did.
Bodum's Bora Bora Double Wall Tea Press
In the wake of Jenaer Glas' closing, Bodum created a teapot that has won two prestigious design awards: the 2006 iF Design award and the 2005 Formland design award. Bodum's Double Wall Tea Press keeps tea hot longer while allowing the outside to remain cool. No trivit needed! The standard bodum teapress is executed in stainless steel, with a plunger to allow the separation of tealeaves from tea. Bravo Bodum!
Adagio Tea's take on the Pyramid bag
I no longer have to bring my teapot when I travel (or long for good tea in lands that only know dust and fannings). Connoisseurs of gourmet tea can now have a fix anywhere with Adagio Tea's take on the Pyramid Teabag. I was stunned to see how many leaves fit inside these bags; enough to brew a decent size mug full. And the teas in these bags are the same as that which Adagio sells in tins. Newest selections in the 13 tea roster are Golden Monkey, Wuyi Ensemble, and Green Pekoe. These individually sealed teabags are fantastic - I always keep one or two in my bag for when the mood for gourmet tea strikes.
Steve Smith Gains Freedom
In mid October, it was announced that Steve Smith would be leaving his post at Starbucks. To those unfamiliar with his career, Steve was among the founders of Stash Tea, which he left in 1993 to launch Tazo, a company he sold to Starbucks for a reported 9.1 million. There is no report of what the former "tea shaman" has planned for the future - although he has said it will not be a chain or a tea company to compete with either Tazo or Starbuck for that matter. Whatever he does, it will likely be big and momentous. We are very excited to see what will come next from this Titan of Tea.
This is my take on the prior year. Have I left anything out? Please post your nominations on TeaChat, our bulletin board. What are your nominations for the best and worst of 2006?

Mass, charge, and subcellular localization of a unique secretory product identified by the basophil-specific antibody BB1
McEuen, Alan R., Calafat, Jero, Compton, Steven J., Easom, Nicholas J., Buckley, Mark G., Knol, Edward F. and Walls, Andrew F. (2001) Mass, charge, and subcellular localization of a unique secretory product identified by the basophil-specific antibody BB1. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 107, (5), 842-848. (doi:10.1067/mai.2001.114650).
Full text not available from this repository.
BB1 is a basophil-specific mAb (Lab Invest 1999;79:27-38). The identity of the corresponding antigen has not been determined, but it gives a granular appearance on staining and is secreted on activation of basophils.
We sought to further characterize the basophilspecific antigen identified by BB1.
Intracellular localization was determined by flow cytometry and by immunogold labeling and electron microscopy. Physical chemical properties were investigated by gel filtration chromatography and preparative isoelectric focusing.
In flow cytometry, permeabilization of cells increased immunofluorescence 100-fold, confirming the predominantly intracellular localization of the antigen. It was further localized to the secretory granules by immunoelectron microscopy. Double labeling with a CD63-specific antibody demonstrated selective binding of BB1 to the granule matrix. Gel filtration chromatography indicated that the antigen is secreted as a complex of approximately 5 × 106 d, which was well resolved from the 210-kd supramolecular complex containing tryptase. The antigen was degraded by pronase. Isoelectric focusing indicated a highly basic protein with an isoelectric point of 9.6.
With its granule localization, release on cell activation, and unique properties, the antigen identified by BB1 could be a novel mediator of allergic disease. We propose the name basogranulin for this novel basophil-specific protein.

A very interesting read. It opens up a new perspective on our culture and lifestyle, with some confronting ideas.
– Customer review on 07/02/2006 '
What a refreshing read. This book focuses on a natural parenting style known as attachment parenting. While I don't follow a lot of the practices of AP, I really liked the authors approach and observations of these group of people. A lot of the practices are probably not practical in a modern world, but it is lovely to incorporate some of the things discussed in this book.
