Think Cocoa - Not Chocolate | March 16, 2015 | |
I LOVE this tea - it's a fantastic substitute for coffee from a caffeine perspective, especially if you are hooked on mochas. Make no mistake - this is NOT hot chocolate. If you've ever had raw cocoa, this is more the taste. I'm a big fan of yerba mate as well, so if you like yerba, this may be a good tea for you. |
This is really, really good! | January 15, 2015 | |
This tea is wonderful, yummy and soothing. I love, love, love it so much that I brought a friend her own container of this tea. I will order more soon. |
In love! | December 03, 2014 | |
This is the MOST wonderful 3pm pick-me-up, especially with the dark afternoons. I add 4 TBSP of Silk Vanilla Soy creamer. The result is around 80 calories of choclate-ness. Yum! |
Deliciously Dark | July 03, 2014 | |
Deep, dark, rich flavor. Almost coffee-ish. Love this tea first thing in the morning. Haven't tried it with milk or sugar, but I'm sure the addition would be heavenly. Will be keeping this around as a stable in my pantry. |
What could be better? | June 28, 2014 | |
We love to mix our Assam full leaf tea with the contents of these wonderful teabags - makes a wonderfully civilized and relaxed beginning before the tension of the business day sets in! |
Don't hesitate to try, just buy! | June 24, 2014 | |
I discovered this tea during the holiday season. Its now June, and I'm still drinking it daily. I can't seem to get enough....love it! |
Guilt-Free Chocolate Taste! | June 20, 2014 | |
I am very happy with my chocolate tea...great chocolate taste! A great dessert tea! |
Yes to Mate! | June 04, 2014 | |
I love Mate anyway, but you need to sweeten it to drink it. This Double Chocolate is so good, you don't need to sweeten it. Better yet, Chocolate! YUM!! |
Unexpected! | April 03, 2014 | |
I asked for a sample of this tea and I was not disappointed. I didn't expect to like it because I am not always a fan of chocolate (let alone double dark chocolate) but it tasted AMAZING! I highly recommend this. Just a bit of brown sugar makes this quite a treat. |
Excellent drink | April 01, 2014 | |
This is a luscious beverage. I like the chocolate without all the calories. |
Double Delicious | March 11, 2014 | |
This tea has plenty of chocolate flavor and I love to have it like a dessert at night or when I want to feel like I am getting a treat without all of the calories! |
Double Dark Chocolate Mate | March 08, 2014 | |
This is one of my go-to teas. This tea is an experience. I have a little ritual: I slowly open the tin, breathe deeply to get the full impact of the gorgeous smell, then I drop it in my favorite mug, and stand by while the water boils. Then I breathe deeply while it steeps. This is a slow sipping tea for me. I just want to savor every drop. |
best tea I HAVE EVER HAVE | March 05, 2014 | |
chocolate-y heaven | March 01, 2014 | |
After tasting this tea, even my husband is a convert. Just opening the can, the deep, dark chocolate smell wafts out and gets you excited to try it. It's a deep, strong flavor and perfect pick me up in the morning. If you add a little stevia, it is desert in a cup. |
rich | February 19, 2014 | |
delightful aroma, well balanced taste, very satisfying, just what I want for breakfast |
Yum | January 16, 2014 | |
It smells yummy and the taste is smooth. I was a little concerned it might be bitter but was way off. Definitely a do over. |
Chocolate! | January 11, 2014 | |
My new "cup of hot chocolate." |
Is this only 5 calories? | August 06, 2013 | |
When I read some of the not so favorable reviews I almost did not order this WONDERFUL tea. My husband and I love it. No, it is not like taking a bite of a chocolate bar, but a delightful flavor of chocolate. I only wish there was a decaf version. |
I'm in Love | August 01, 2013 | |
I was looking for something with caffeine, to replace a non tea drink, I'm removing from my diet. Came across this @ Whole Foods, and it is perfect. I wanted the caffeine, but didn't expect the wonderful taste that goes with it. Wonderful, wonderful - nothing better than chocolate! |
Slightly odd to Daily cravings | May 06, 2013 | |
I've never had a chocolate flavored tea before so this was a little odd tasting at first. Now I wake up craving this tea. I just can't seem to get enough of it. Sometimes I mix it with the banana cuppa chocolate tea as well. Yum! |
awesome tea | March 08, 2013 | |
I always make this with two bags in a big cup of water and keep the bags in as i'm drinking it; add a little vanilla soy, and it's awesome. It's not a cup of hot chocolate, and it's not meant to be. |
Jury Still Out | March 05, 2013 | |
I first bought a canister of this some time ago. It was filled with powdered cocoa and it quickly became my fave. I ran out and bought a bulk bag. There was no loose cocoa powder in the bag and the tea did not taste the same. Certain I had received a bum batch, I notified ROT and they sent me another bag - still no cocoa powder. I don't know why my first canister had so much cocoa powder in it, but that really made the tea. So now, I am adding unsweetened organic cocoa powder to my cuppa. I like it much better this way. |
When brewed right, awesome! | February 27, 2013 | |
I expect high and low ratings for things involving taste - we are all different. But if you want to give this a fair shot, you need to remember it is HERBAL and needs boiling water and a 5-7 min. steep (I do 7) for flavor, sometimes 2 bags per cup which might be the only negative I have. We drink it with cream no sweetener, iced or hot and love it. If you are looking for hot chocolate, drink hot chocolate! We do low carb a lot and this is like a great treat that keeps cravings away (mate might help with that, too) It is not my top favorite tea but I really like it. |
No chocolate taste | February 07, 2013 | |
I don't know if I got half-filled bags or improperly filled bags or what...the only taste I get is that of tea. No chocolate whatsoever....doesn't matter if I try it plain, with sweetener, or with milk. There's supposed to be cocoa powder apparent...there isn't. I just used the last teabag and I won't be buying this again. |
Thumbs down - sorry | February 04, 2013 | |
Sorry, but this just doesn't do it for me. I love the Honey Ginseng Green Tea so I was really looking forward to tasting this one because I also love chocolate but I don't care for it at all. |
kinda tastes like a tootsie roll | February 02, 2013 | |
for chocolate tea, it's one of the better ones. it's not hot chocolate, it's still tea. I'm a chocolate lover, i'm a tea lover, i'm a coffee lover, and i have a loud sweet tooth. It's not a bad tea but if i'm in the mood for chocolate, i'll just have chocolate. and then i'll grab one of the ROT's hibiscus flavors. |
Fabulous | January 28, 2013 | |
I'd had this wonderful tea a while back and when I found myself running low I just had to order more. It's totally chocolaty, smooth, rich and an absolutely perfect cold winter morning (or evening) beverage. |
close but not quite | December 28, 2012 | |
I wanted to love this tea, but the fact is, it's tea. My taste buds wanted something a little more substance like hot chocolate, but it tasted to me more like chocolate water. |
Disappointing | December 27, 2012 | |
Sadly, this tea was very disappointing. It was bitter, strong, and did not remind me of chocolate. |
Tastes Like Chemical Imitation Chocolate | December 24, 2012 | |
I don't know how this tea has so many good reviews. I tried it for the first time recently with three other people and no one liked it. Three of us are not very picky, but we couldn't even finish our cups! My girlfriend -- who I would say is a little picky in taste -- nailed it. She said she could tell they weren't using real chocolate. I looked at the ingredients and sure enough, the main ingredient is "carob", a chocolate substitute that doesn't actually taste like chocolate, and is much less flavorful (read more about it here: http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/what-is-carob.htm). The next ingredient is Yerba Mate, then "organic natural dark chocolate flavors", whatever that means. After that, they finally list cocoa, but they clearly do not put enough in to make the tea taste good. Bottom line, it tastes like some chemical imitation flavor, the way watered down cherry kool aid might resemble the flavor of actual cherries. Some people like drinks like that. I don't. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect a |
Yummy | December 20, 2012 | |
Yummy pretty much sums it up. |
Perfect afternoon treat | December 08, 2012 | |
I sip a cup of this tea everyday after lunch and it helps me get through the rest of my work day afternoon. The aroma is fabulous! |
tasty!! | December 06, 2012 | |
make it extra chocolaty with chocolate stevia!!! yum!! |
Chocolate Dream | December 05, 2012 | |
WOW! True dark chocolate taste! Absolutely Wonderful! |
Not my favorite chocolate tea | November 26, 2012 | |
It's not my favorite Chocolate tea. I don't think I'm used to the Mate. It has a unique scent and slight aftertaste that I'm not fond of. I much prefer the flavor of the Republic of Tea peppermint chocolate herbal tea. |
My favorite!! | November 26, 2012 | |
Love this tea! It's just the right amount of chocolate- nice a light and guilt free!! Came back for more! |
Yum! | November 03, 2012 | |
Very tasty. I've been brewing it double strength and sweetening it with Truvia and some unsweetened almond milk. Delicious in the morning especially since I can't drink coffee! |
Best tea ever | November 01, 2012 | |
I love this tea. It has a very good taste. |
In search of a rich chocolate tasting tea | October 30, 2012 | |
hmmmmm - this one is good, flavor is good. I unfortunately have not found that rich flavored "cocoa" tea yet. I will keep searching |
This is the richest chocolate tea | October 23, 2012 | |
Deep, rich and satisfying! |
October 19, 2012 | ||
A chocolate lovers delight!!! |
I'm addicted to this in the morning! | October 02, 2012 | |
I went through the first 2 tins, and the store I purchased it from no longer had it in stock. Thought I wouldn't like chocolate tea before I tried this. I absolutely LOVE it! and have gone on to try different blends, so far none are better or even come close to this wonderful rich chocolatey treat. |
Best way to start the morning! | September 23, 2012 | |
We mix this and assam black tea together for breakfast, and a wonderful boost to our day! I don't know how we ever got started without it! |
weird, but delicious | September 20, 2012 | |
VERY earthy, more cocoa than chocolate really. I was a good 15 tea bags in before I decided I really liked it. So if you bought it and didn't like it, ship it to me, or just keep trying. |
Chocolate, chocolately, chocoluteness! | August 29, 2012 | |
This used to be my favorite tea until the banana chocolate variety came along, but it's still a very close second. I'm a glutton for all things tasty, so I add chocolate flavored stevia to really punch up the chocolate flavor in this incredible yerba mate tea. Add some milk and it's like having a warm cup of cocoa with zero calories. Chocolate skinny-ness. What's not to love! |
GREAT TEA! | July 26, 2012 | |
Wonderful chocolate flavor but no bitterness. Great with a litle almond milk! Very smooth! |
Tastes like dessert! | June 20, 2012 | |
Add a little stevia sweetener and it tastes like dessert, but with a lot fewer calories. Great tea! |
Almost decadent | June 20, 2012 | |
This has a great chocolate flavor. I had it at a cafe' somewhere and had to order it. It was worth the money, it's one of my favorites. |
Positively Addictive | May 29, 2012 | |
We mix with with our Assam tea in the mornings for a breakfast boost - and start the day smiling! |
Yummie Chocolate Tea | May 28, 2012 | |
Great "different tea". The chocolate adds a depth of flavor so nice on a cool evening outside watching the stars. |
Not wild about Mate, but... | May 27, 2012 | |
I'm not a huge fan of mate, and my initial impression of this was - "ergh". Mate just ends up being too bitter for me. But I stuck with it and added a tiny bit of sugar and full cream to it...okay, I'm convinced. The touch of sugar and cream make it taste like grown-up hot chocolate! Very good! |
YUM ! | May 25, 2012 | |
BEST chocolate flavor ! Not artificial tasting .... |
Great Tea! | May 23, 2012 | |
I like this tea a lot. The tea has a nice flavor and is not too strong. I like chocolate and this help with that. |
May 21, 2012 | ||
great flavor but too weak! Have started using double tea bags to get the flavor i expected. |
Treat! | May 12, 2012 | |
This tea was delicious with some rice milk and a touch of sweetener. |
May 08, 2012 | ||
Execellent way to do a yera mate |
May 07, 2012 | ||
just right when you need a little chocolate without all the unwanted extras (calories!) |
mild after taste & paint smell | May 07, 2012 | |
I have to say I usually don't agree with other reviewers in terms of taste and smell but this one really has a paint smell and an after taste. It is my only dissappointment with Republic of Tea. Anyway, I use it during this allergy season because of its therapeutic effects. It may help to mask the flavor & smell to mix it with another flavored tea or beverage. |
Love this Tea | March 28, 2012 | |
I love this tea - this is the second time I have bought the 250 bags - I went through the first in no time. I use 2 teabags to make 20 oz. tea each morning. I add sweetener and soy milk and sip to my heart's content. |
Just what I was hoping for | March 12, 2012 | |
This tea was exactly what I was hoping for. I have had several of the other chocolate teas but with this one I wanted more of the chocolate taste. |
Not what I expected. | March 06, 2012 | |
I was excited to try this tea. When I made my first cup I thought it smelled like paint. Then I tasted it and it tasted like paint. So i got some of my friends in the kitchen and didn't tell them what I thought just to give me their first impression. They all said this smells like paint. I don't know if I got a bad batch but I did not enjoy this tea. Love the Good Hope Vanilla though. |
The Best of the Best | March 04, 2012 | |
Wow, what a surprise. Thank you Amber for sending this sample of double dark tea to me. I would never have ordered this tea. I am into greens, black & herb teas. In my first cup I didn't add any milk because I did not want to change the great taste. The next time I put in an order I will have this on my list. Just an extra note to thank you for your great teas. I have been drinking green teas since I was five sitting in my grandmother's kitchen. She did not ever drank coffee like her children and because she was my beloved grandmother I too would drink Liptons green tea which was the only green tea in her market. I have been drinking green teas for sixty years and I am very glad I found your teas at Mother's market many years ago, your the BEST! Thank you, Sandra |
love! | February 29, 2012 | |
I wasn't sure about this one, but WOW! I love it! And I will definitely order this one again -- smooth, with a bit of sugar and cream, it is a delight! |
Delicious - especially when Iced | February 19, 2012 | |
This is so good hot, but with a little sweetener and over ice, it is incredibly delicious. |
Double dark chocolate mate | January 31, 2012 | |
This makes a wonderful cup of tea for the chocolate lovers. My 11 year old daughter and i drink a cup every morning with breakfast. |
January 22, 2012 | ||
Throughout my first few cups of this tea I found it weak and somewhat lackluster, but it grew on me as time wore on. I now prefer its somewhat weaker character, as you can taste more than just chocolate - hints of earth and smokiness too. I usually have a cup of this after lunch at work and it is a great tasting way to get rid of the post-lunch doldrums. |
Not my cup of tea! | January 21, 2012 | |
I very much DID NOT like this. It was expensive for a tea I will not drink again! |
yummy stuff! | January 21, 2012 | |
lovely cocoa flavour |
Mate Latte Comparison | January 19, 2012 | |
So, I read Fred Schmed's comment from Dec. 6th that said, (in summary) 'the mate latte is better in the sense that (he implied) it has more flavor and more robust'. So, I was so excited to get the Mate Latte, knowing how much I already LOVE the double chocolate. Well, this is where I can really appreciate the difference in opinions. I found the opposite, and that the Double Chocolate is much more chocolaty and flavorful than the latte. I will write my latte review in the appropriate place, but really wanted to write this review in this area too, because I did take his advice, and was disappointed in the latte, but feel that I am glad I tried it, because it really solidifies my loving of the double chocolate tea! |
I really love this tea | January 17, 2012 | |
I really enjoy this tea, and in fact, crave it in the morning instead of coffee. Everytime I take a sip, I say, "mmmmm" to myself! With this said, I understand where the reviewers are coming from when they describe it as weak. It is a tea, not hot cocoa. I think it would be most enjoyed by those who do not have sugar in their diet, and the chocolate stevia addition is very yummy, but not necessary. I highly recommend this tea to anyone who might have stopped eating sugar / starches and want a delicate treat or new morning ritual, and not for those expecting Nestle. |
I LOVE this tea! | January 16, 2012 | |
This tea is a great afternoon pick me up. It has helped me stay on my diet and away from chocolate candy. One cup and I feel like I have had my dessert. |
Not as much chocolate as I was expecting | January 15, 2012 | |
My disclaimer: I don't know a lot about tea. This particular flavour was OK - I have to use 2 teabags per cup to ensure that it resembles a chocolate flavour. It may be that I'm just not used to Yerba Maté. In any event, the scent of this tea is really lovely. |
January 14, 2012 | ||
Fabulous aroma and nice flavor, too, but not very much of it. I use two bags, otherwise it is way too weak. Make it stronger and I'll have a new favorite mid-day treat! |
What's not to like? | January 13, 2012 | |
I add a couple of drops of Sweetleaf Dark Chocolate Stevia to this cup of tea. Gives me a chocolate sweet treat with the benefits of mate and I'm very content! |
Satisfyingly chocolate. | December 27, 2011 | |
I liked this real well and find I can slowly sip a cup and forget about that little snack I was going to have. I've given away several of the bags so now I need to order more. A massive quantity this time. I don't sweeten mine though some may. Either way, a taste treat to be sure. |
December 26, 2011 | ||
I've been a mate fan for a long time and this is one of my favorite mate teas ever. So yummy! |
Great beverage!! | December 20, 2011 | |
This is a rich, tasty tea which is like liquid chocolate. I drink it without sweetener. |
Great but Don't Expect Hot Chocolate | December 18, 2011 | |
This is one of my favorite teas and I always keep it on hand. It grows on a person over time and gets better and better. Don't expect it to taste like hot chocolate; it doesn't. But it has a good subtle chocolate flavor that does not need sweetener. I use two teabags for a stronger flavor. |
Great taste!! | December 17, 2011 | |
I like the taste of this tea. I feel like I am having a high calorie treat. This is my new favorite. |
December 08, 2011 | ||
The taste is satisfying but you find shards of a cream colored material in your mouth and cup which is very unpleasant. I much prefer the strawberry-chocolate. I expect to return the chocolate matte. The sample of comfort and joy in my order is out of this world. Wish I had ordered this. |
Disappointing | December 06, 2011 | |
I absolutely love the Republic's Mate Latte and figured this would be an even more decadent chocolaty flavor. Boy was I wrong! There is nothing full bodied or robust about this tea. I find it relatively flat and boring. It smells wonderful, but that's where the goodness stops. It's not horrible, but it's far from good. Get the Mate Latte instead! |
Wonderful!!! | December 04, 2011 | |
This tea is wonderful! Don't know how anyone says they can't taste the chocolate, because that is basically all I am tasting. I let this steep for about 5 minutes,a nd add 4 sugar cubes...what you get is a cup of heaven! This and the Coconut Chocolate tea are wonderful. Tried the Red Tea ones, and they tasted horrible. Whatever they use to make the Red Tea is so strong and it overwhelms everything else. Try this, and you'll never need a chocolate fix again! I'm addicted!!! |
The Best | November 21, 2011 | |
This is by far the best chocolate tea ever! So happy they are making it. I've tried several chocolate teas but this one beats them all. I bought it for some friends and they enjoy it. |
Smells like hot chocolate, tastes disappoints | November 12, 2011 | |
As a chocolate and tea lover, I was excited to try the Double Dark Mate. While I allowed the tea to seep, you couldn't help but enjoy the wonderful aroma which put me in mind of a hot chocolate. Perhaps, then, it's a trick of my senses that would not allow me to enjoy this. Expecting a bold and rich flavor that might be present with the drink that came to mind, this just didn't deliver the taste I was expecting. It's not a bad drink, but takes a bit of getting used to. |
Awful | November 11, 2011 | |
It has little taste. . .and the taste it does have isn't good and stays in your mouth for hours. Go for the Raw Green Bush Tea. . .this one was good. |
November 10, 2011 | ||
Very good with sweetener and milk. I love it. |
Very Rich | October 17, 2011 | |
This stuff is really strong and rich! It has almost a coffee flavor to it, which surprised me. |
Double Dark Chocolate is more like Half | October 13, 2011 | |
This tea smells SO great but the flavor is SO weak. I am disappointed. Not sure that I'll buy it again. More chocolate flavor and Yerba Mate and I think you might have a winner. Sorry. |
Love This Tea!! | October 10, 2011 | |
This tea is amazing!! Just the thing if you are having a sweet craving- without the stress or guilt! |
Double Dark Chocolate Mate | September 25, 2011 | |
A friend bought some of this and I tried it tonight. It is delicious! I will get more. |
Weak and Disappointing | September 19, 2011 | |
This tea smells great but the taste leaves much to be desired. It is very weak, there is a chocolate idea, but the robust flavor of a mate tea is sadly missing. When paying over $12 for 2 oz. of tea I expect to be wowed. Instead I was put to sleep. |
Way better than hot cocoa. | August 13, 2011 | |
This is one of the few chocolate teas at RoT that does not also have Rooibos (unfortunately Rooibos does not agree with me - can't win them all). This is a delicious tea! I have it at work after lunch and it is quite the pick-me-up. It is not like other chocolate teas that have no chocolate taste and simply smells good. This is great stuff. |
Excellent! | July 31, 2011 | |
Excellent with a splash of milk and a little sugar. You have to steep it longer than most teas to get the most benefit - but it's so worth it! |
Not much Mate | July 29, 2011 | |
Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I was disappointed by this mate. It is just a week tea. It smells divinely chocolatey, but I usually use two tea bags just to get half that flavor. I tried adding steamed milk once and overwhelmed the tea completely. This is the first tea I ordered from Republic of Tea that didn't stand up to its description. |
A New Twist on Chocolate! | June 17, 2011 | |
And you thought everything to be done with chocolate had already been tried! I'll admit I was skeptical . . . chocolate tea? Well, it's definitely CHOCOLATY! The texture is still tea, but the aroma and taste are blissfully chocolate. (and I don't have to feel guilty about the calories.) |

Happy New year to you L.C. I hope this year will be full of splendid AUDIO projects as your SSA was.
I wanted to make a sim with your version of SSA, and asked your sim file for that. But my message had no answer. Anyway, this exploration is not a surprise for you, if you had read your private message box recently :-)

Hi Esperado
OP amp kind of error correction is actually working as OLG of the corrected amp would be much higher, it certainly can lower distortions if stability maintain unaffected. Most probably OP amp will drive the feedback signals into peaking and even into oscillations if original amp could not follow. What VSSA in other thread surprisingly showed me is its enormous damping (extremely low Zout) gained from high OLG/bandwidth and exact feedback/compensation scheme. uV feedback precision coming out of six transistors only makes amplifier's output differentiating from unloaded conditions down to few mV. Square waves misuse showed no instability and for me that is of more importance than mostly accepted low THD/TIMD. Regards, Andrej |

About speed, the problem with fast power amp is to find an OPA fast enough, as SSA is damn fast itself. . No risk, in my example, to saturate the OPAs, the output of the second OPA stay at <+/-700mv peak at 100Khz full power with distortion at -60dB. I do not know if it improve the sound or not: Need a try in real world. May-be the benefit will be side of the damping factor ? As it is simple, easy and not expensive nor destructive, it deserve a try.

I think a more effective way of reducing distortion would be to use drivers for the LFETs.

I think reducing distortion of the open loop of an amp is not to be opposed to the use of feedback, they are complementary. if you can reduce closed loop distortion while keeping the slewrate with a driver (i doubt) the error correction add will reduce the new distortion with the same 10 ratio.

So the point is to decrease distortion without impairing slew rate?

Very nice Esperado :-)
I am working on a new amp (100W CFA) and after this will do another amp with AFEC (switchable!). I think the technique has merit, but of course you have to take care with the loop compensation. The free DC offset control is also a great side benefit! |

Because we increase the error feedback level, in a way, we reduce the slew-rate/correction-signal ratio. But, because we are dealing with a yet low distortion, and because we can filter extreme HF from this added part of feedback; i believe we do not have to fear any added TIM. So, the main benefit is to improve distortion on an EXISTING amp without modification of the amp Itself. As noticed by L.C. an other approach is to increase OLG of the amp, not so easy while keeping-it stable. This error correction present, of course, some negative aspects: it is a little acrobatic and need precise fine tuning. Even if i had this idea long time before, while i was working to my protection system, i forgot-it with time and it was YOUR publication which refreshed-it in my mind. So all the credit is for you.

But you are not filtering extreme signals from the opamp. Any input/feedback signal regardless of BW will enter the opamp's output, no? Does the simulator model the effects of opamp output impedance?

Dancing With The Stars
Dancing With the Stars 2013: Jack Osbourne Hopes For "More Consistent" Scoring — Exclusive
Jack Osbourne is riding high off his first 10 in the ballroom, but can he keep up the momentum? The 27-year-old Dancing With the Stars contestant is gearing up for Week 8 of the competition with his pro partner Cheryl Burke, and the two have a "musical" Tango planned for the judges — including guest judge Cher! Despite his initial reservations, Jack told Wetpaint Entertainment that he's really starting to love dance. Wetpaint recently caught up with Jack and Cheryl to talk about their Week 8 Tango, guest judge Cher, and the judges' less-than-consistent scoring this season. Wetpaint Entertainment: We know you have the Tango coming up this week, so tell us about the preparation for that. How has it been going, Jack? Jack Osbourne: It's actually going pretty well! Every week that goes by, you start to pick up things quicker and more efficiently. We did a few times in its entirety already, and although there's some polishing that needs to be done, it's going pretty well. This is Week 8, so this is when the competition really starts to get intense, and you start seeing really promising like Snooki go home. So are feeling the heat at this point? Or is it making you want to work harder? Yeah, the way I see it is that every single person that's left in this competition could all win, and everyone is good enough dancer to win. There's seven of us left, and no one is bad! Everyone has got their strong point and can hold their own, so it's going to be crazy to see how this all unfolds. I can't predict who will be going home now because everyone is so good. And then you have competitors like Bill, who said he would sacrifice himself so that Snooki could dance another week.
Coming up, Cher is going to be a guest judge. She's so fun. Are you excited to have her behind the judges' table? Do you feel like she's going to be more critical? Cheryl Burke: I think she's going to be an honest judge. We've never had anyone like Cher come on our show before so it's going to be interesting to hear what she has to say. She's definitely not going to hold anything back. Jack: Yeah, it's going to be good because Cher doesn't come from a traditional ballroom dance judging background. She is very much a performer and an artist, so it's going to be interesting to hear her opinion of things. Cheryl, when you went to make the choreography for this Tango, did that influence it? Because you know Cher will probably be looking for charisma and showmanship. Cheryl: Tango is such a restrictive dance, so we have to stay in hold the whole time, but we're definitely trying to play up more of the music. She may not know everything about ballroom dancing, but she definitely knows music, so we're trying to make our Tango a lot more musical than normal. And it's her music, too, so it has to be good! Cheryl: Yeah, exactly. There's just so much more added pressure than usual. [Jack's one-year-old daughter Pearl interrupts] Jack: Sorry, that's my child.
No, it's OK! We really appreciated her adorable Yoda costume. Jack: Yeah? She was in the zone! Is she often with you in rehearsals? Jack: She comes by at least once a week. She'll pop by for a little bit. It's good. She hangs out. She was hanging out last week, and everyone was coming in and out of our rehearsal room to have a bit of a play with her. She's getting to know everyone, and it's nice to have her around. Congrats by the way for getting your first 10 in the competition! Jack: Thank you, thank you very much. I definitely didn't see that coming! Cheryl: He didn't. [Laughs] Now that you have your first 10, do you feel like you need to keep getting them? Jack: Yeah, there is that, but the thing is, every week, it's a new dance, and it's a new dance I've never learned before. You really have to go week-by-week. In a way, that was last week, and we have to continue doing better this week, but again, I may have gotten a 10, but I also got an 8 as well. I got an 8 from Len. I'd rather get all 9s than one 8 and one 10. I want some more consistent scoring. It's been very up and down, but hey, I was very happy with the 10. I'll take a 10 any day. How has it been dealing with the criticism? You know, I actually enjoy it. I think it's kind of fun. I don't have a problem with any of the comments or criticism, and I do try and take it on board. They've made a few comments about my hands because I have stress hands. When things get intense, my hands curl up and do weird things, and so, we've asked them specifically about my hands to try and work on it. If this were to be your last week, what would be your biggest takeaway from this experience? Everything! It's been amazing. I started this competition 11 weeks ago, and I did not care about dancing at all. It was like, what happened to me? And now I've come away from it with a total love and respect for the artform. And I've also made some really good friends. It's been fun! I've got friends for life from this show, and it's really cool. Who have you gotten closest to behind the scenes? Cheryl: Me! Jack: Cheryl is my No. 1 dance boo. Cheryl: That's right. Jack: I'm close with Leah [Remini] and Bill now. But everyone is super close. Elizabeth [Berkley], who I knew before because our kids go to the same music class together, and there's also Derek [Hough] and Mark [Ballas], and Emma [Slater] and Sasha [Farber], we've all become super close friends. We all went out on Wednesday night for Halloween, and it was like the best night out.
Were you guys wearing your fox costumes? Jack: I kind of did. I was wearing this fox onesie thing that I've had for years because the costume that I bought didn't work. So I just wore my fox costume instead. I went to a restaurant the other day, and there was a very straight-laced guy behind the desk, and he looked at me and he goes, "What does a fox say?" It was really quite surreal. Your family is so supportive. They're there every week. How much does that support mean to you, especially from your sister Kelly, who was on the show previously? Jack: My entire family is super supportive, and it's great. I feel bad for making by mum cry, though. When she's not there, I kind of feel relieved because I won't make her cry this week. [Laughs] I guess the only real advice Kelly ever gave me was to dive head first and don't hold back. You can't have a foot out the door with this show. What do you think, DWTS fans? Are you rooting for Jack Osbourne this season? Sound off in the comments! Crystal Bell is an editor at Wetpaint Entertainment and our resident fangirl for all things The Vampire Diaries.

Many physical changes come with aging, including changes in vision. This is why it is important to have a complete examination by an eye doctor at least every other year after age 40 and every year after age 65. People with certain risk factors (such as a family history of eye disease or diabetes) should have a comprehensive eye exam every year regardless of age.
Even if your vision seems good, you should still have regular eye examinations because some conditions are asymptomatic and affect the eyes very slowly. By the time you notice any changes in your vision, it may be too late to repair the damage. Fortunately, early treatment can stop most of the vision loss caused by the following conditions most commonly seen in seniors.
The eye is often compared to a camera. The front of the eye contains a lens that focuses images on the inside of the back of the eye. This area inside the eye is covered with special nerve cells. Some of these cells "react to light" while others "carry the picture" to the brain. When excessive pressure builds up in the eye, it damages the cells that carry the picture. This is called glaucoma.
Glaucoma is usually painless and causes no noticeable symptoms. Because there are many, many nerve cells in the back of the eye and they are damaged only a few at a time, it can take years before someone with glaucoma notices any changes in vision. An eye doctor can detect glaucoma much earlier, however. Because vision loss due to glaucoma is permanent, early detection of the condition is extremely important. Although glaucoma cannot be cured, there are medications that can lower the pressure inside the eye and reduce the chance of further damage. By getting the right treatment early, vision loss from glaucoma can nearly always be prevented.
The nerve cells in the back of the eye (the retina) are very close together in the area where the eye focuses the images that we see. This part of the retina is called the macula. As people age, the macula tends to change in ways that cause a gradual loss of sharp vision. Sometimes, the macula actually begins to break down, and occasionally new blood vessels can grow where they do not belong. This condition of abnormal macula breakdown and/or new blood vessel formation is called age-related macular degeneration. You might have this condition if you notice that:
There is no cure for macular degeneration, but several possible treatments can slow vision loss and help a person keep useful vision for many years if they are started early enough.
As we age, our risk for developing diabetes increases. One of the major effects of diabetes is to make blood vessels "leaky."
The retina (the layer of nerve cells that lines the inside of the back of the eye) has a layer of blood vessels. When diabetes makes these blood vessels leak, fluid can build up in the retina. This can blur vision. Eventually, the blood vessels can break open and bleed, and new blood vessels will grow to take their place. All of this can cause permanent loss of vision.
The best way for someone with diabetes to prevent the loss of vision is to follow the doctor's advice about control of blood sugar, blood pressure, diet, exercise and medication, and to schedule an eye examination at least once a year.
The eye contains a lens that focuses light so we can see. Sometimes this lens turns cloudy, and this is called a cataract. Most cataracts are a normal result of aging, although they can be caused by injury or other medical conditions. The only treatment is to surgically remove the clouded lens.
Cataract surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia. That is, the patient is awake but does not feel the procedure. The surgeon will make a small opening in the front of the eye so the cloudy lens can be removed and replaced by a new clear plastic lens.
Almost 2 million people per year in the United States have cataract surgery and receive an intraocular lens. It is the most frequently performed operation in the world, and also one of the most successful.

From: Venice Railroad Station
ABOVE: The station toilets are cheaper than Venice's municipal toilets (€1, compared to €1,50 for the city's). If you don't have a coin for the turnstile, use the change machine next to the entrance.
Public lavatories are in an open corridor facing Track 1. Head left as you leave your train's platform, or right if you're entering the train shed from the station hall.
The toilets are clearly marked with a blue "WC" sign. The bad news is that you'll have to pay; the good news is that requiring euro coins keeps the riff-raff out.

In third round play on Wednesday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships being played this week in this Gulf Emirate, 3rd seed Agnieszka Radwanska took on the wild card from Kazakhstan, Yulia Putintseva, who is ranked at 101. Putintseva had taken out another wild card, Briton Laura Robson, in the first round in a very tough three setter. According to the book, this should have been a walk in the park for the Pole, but Putintseva really gave her a run for her money in the first set, drawing level at 5-5 before allowing Radwanska to take it 7-5. Two breaks in the second set saw Radwanska take the set 6-3 and move into the quarters.
8th seed Caroline Wozniacki easily beat Lucie Safarova in the first round to set up a meeting with Jie Zheng, the 44th ranked qualifier from China, who got past Ursula Radwanska in three sets in the first round. It took the Dane just fifty four minutes to steamroll Zheng 6-0 6-1 and book her place in the quarters.
Unseeded Roberta Vinci of Italy who is ranked at 17 played world number 6 and 4th seed Angelique Kerber of Germany. Kerber had a bye in the first round while Vinci surprisingly had an easy straight sets win against Svetlana Kuznetsova who had had to qualify. Although the first set got to 5-5 before the Italian wrapped it up 7-5, she had an much easier time of things in the second, taking it 6-1 for game, set and match in just one hour eleven minutes.

So what did Drew Barrymore make of her much-anticipated June 2 wedding?
"The day was perfect," the blushing bride told People (exclusive publishers of her wedding pictures) the day after tying the knot with art consultant Will Kopelman. "Everyone we love and care about was there. It was as fun and meaningful as we ever could have hoped."
For the ceremony at her $5.7 million Montecito, California, home, the expectant actress and Kopelman "just wanted a backyard wedding", says event planner Yifat Oren.
Oren and co-event planner Stefanie Cove delivered a "vintage romantic"-themed fete, creating what Oren called an "ethereal" feel for the wedding party and guests Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Jimmy Fallon and Busy Philipps.
The decorations for the traditional Jewish ceremony included vintage lace, pink flowers and green garlands.
And that dress? A flower-embroidered Chanel gown designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself. Perfect indeed!

[show]Objectives Edit
Search the Woodpaw Gnoll camps of southern Feralas for evidence of the courier's belongings or the courier himself.
Description Edit
Our "friends" the Woodpaw might have gotten Raschal in the end, but something tells me that's not what occurred. Still, they're the best place to start looking.
I wish I had clearer insight as to what to do, but all I have right now is 'Search the Woodpaw camps - go.' I do know that gnolls will keep items they scavenge and fight over them; maybe they ran across the backpacks Quint mentioned. I hadn't risked a head-on fight in past searches, but with Quint's vision on this I say rip into them.
Completion Edit
Tacked up on a nearby tree are two large leather backpacks. Each bears a small insignia of the Feathermoon Stronghold on the front of the pack...
Notes Edit
Travel to Lower Wilds, you will find lake looking like a hand pointing, the bag is on a tree just south of the "finger". [73.3, 56.3]

Ali Dwayne Khan Sentenced in U.S. District Court
U.S. Attorney's Office March 14, 2013 |
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on March 13, 2013, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, Ali Dwayne Khan, a 33-year-old resident of Billings, appeared for sentencing. Khan was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 211 months
- Special assessment: $400
- Supervised release: five years
Khan was sentenced after a federal district court trial in which he was found guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marcia K. Hurd prosecuted the case for the United States.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that Khan will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, Khan does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15 percent of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Billings Big Sky Safe Streets Task Force and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

George Washington unveils their monument-laden new court (VIDEO)
Jul 23, 2013, 12:18 PM EDT
Two months ago, George Washington announced plans for a pretty cool new court design paying homage to the DC landmarks that are within walking distance of their Foggy Bottom campus.
On Tuesday, the school released a video unveiling the new court design, and as expected, the court looks awesome.
My only problem with it?
None of my tweets get put in the video!

Nanotech 2007 Vol. 3
Technical Proceedings of the 2007 NSTI Nanotechnology Conference and Trade Show, Volume 3
Chapter 7: Compact Modeling | |
Modeling Process Variations Using a Compact Model | |
Authors: | R. Murali and J.D. Meindl |
Affilation: | Georgia Tech, US |
Pages: | 558 - 561 |
Keywords: | gate length variation, short channel effect, delay distribution, yield |
Abstract: | Inclusion of manufacturing variations has become an important part of static timing analysis. Existing statistical timing analysis methods involve the use of time-consuming circuit simulations or use fit polynomials. Previous efforts at modeling parameter variations have yielded equations that are not closed-form and might require numerical solutions. In this work a compact model is derived to predict the effect of manufacturing variations on the delay distribution of circuits. The model is physics-based, shows excellent match with simulations, and is valid over a wide range of device parameters. The model can be used to rapidly assess the impact of various circuit and device parameters on delay variation and thus is a useful tool for design-for manufacturing (DFM) as well as design space exploration. |

See table of contents or sample pages from Montessori Algebra for the Adolescent by Michael Waski
NAMTA's purpose is to maintain Montessori traditions, and at the same time, to be on the cutting edge of innovative education. Accordingly, we provide the medium for study, interpretation, and improvement of Montessori education.
The Classroom
An ideal Montessori classroom is sunny and airy but draft-free, with low windows, a tile or wood floor, and about forty square feet per child. Ideally, washrooms are located just off the classroom with child-sized toilets and low sinks. Classrooms are often finished with acoustical ceiling tile and curtains in cool pastels. Child-height water sources and drinking fountains are nice features, along with low light switches. A separate entrance with a cloakroom, plus an adjacent teacher office and storage space, are characteristic of classrooms built for Montessori. Even in large schools, modular classrooms open up to individual outdoor spaces, with interior alcoves and discrete spaces which help create a "house for children" atmosphere.
Square Footage
Classrooms generally consist of approximately 40 square feet per child with both carpeted and wet space with sinks in the room. Wet space is usually about 400 square feet to accommodate lunch.
Furniture styles are varied in design. Tables can have different shapes, including rectangles, squares, ovals, trapezoids. Chairs should be matched to table height, which varies according to the age level of the class. Shelving, whether painted or natural wood, should be light in color, child-sized, and not in excess of eight inches wide for easy access.
Enriched outdoor environments include a natural habitat and adjacent gardening and activity space for each classroom. Pick-up/drop off traffic access, benches for waiting children, child-sized picnic tables, and safe playgrounds are other aspects to consider.
Rental Space
Rental space for the classroom is frequently obtained from schools, churches, park buildings, community centers, apartment complexes, private school buildings, nursery schools, and estate mansions. When renting, consider the availability of additional space for expansion at the same site. Look closely at tenants with whom you may have to coexist. Try to obtain a lease with at least one year's notice for cancellation, with opportunity for alteration of the building and some protection against major capital expenses (roof, furnace, asbestos removal, etc.) and a long-term arrangement with specified rent levels (three to five years).
Local Regulations
Review the site, keeping in mind zoning, fire, and health regulations, before finalizing classroom design. Panic bars, exit lights, fire alarm pull stations, fire exits, and safety plugs are details which may be overlooked and then cause cost and inconvenience later.

Alumni Visit: 2014: Barcelona, Southern France & the Italian Riviera | 2014: France | 2012: Istanbul and Turkey | 2011: Sicily
Each year CCHS alumni, friends, and family travel to fun and exotic places. Our objective: To expand our boundaries and comfort zones, to develop new friends and spend time with old ones, and to see the world!
Between the Mediterranean beaches bathed in sunlight, ancient ruins teeming with legend and whitewashed villas bursting with local charm, falling in love with Greece is a sure thing. Discover the heart of Europe's oldest city, from the Acropolis to the Plaka. Island hop along the Ionian to shorelines steeped in mythology. And explore the backdrops that played roles in Plato and Homer's epics and shaped Western civilization as we know it.
Interested in this trip? View the brochure for more details
Talk about a travel trifecta! In March of 2014, 34 travelers (our biggest group yet) explored the coastal regions of Spain, France and Italy. The adventure started in beautiful Barcelona, then on to Nice and the French Rivera (with a stop in glamorous Monaco), continued along to Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera and ultimately arriving in gorgeous Florence, Italy. Some travelers also chose to extend their trip with a few extra days in Rome. It certainly was a trip of a lifetime – the art, the architecture, the food, the people… all of it was simply amazing.
Ahhhh, spring time in Paris, does it get any better? In April, 2013 the alumni travel group headed to France on an amazing 10 day tour that included Paris, Normandy and the Loire Valley. From the Eiffel Tower to the magnificent chateaux of the Loire Valley, this trip included iconic sites for which France is most commonly associated. A highlight for many travelers was the visit to the D-Day beaches of Normandy and the WWII memorial – a moving experience for all. It was then on to stops at quaint seaside towns, wine tasting in the Loire Valley and back to Paris, the City of Light!
Our group flew to Istanbul, the exotic city that sits on two continents, boasts the world's largest bazaar and spice market, borders the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, and was home to Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War. From there we headed west then south, visiting spa towns, ancient Greek and Roman ruins, streets the apostle Paul had walked along, the last home of the Virgin Mary, thermal springs Cleopatra bathed in, entire villages dedicated to making oriental carpets.
In early February, 23 alumni and friends of Carolinas College of Health Sciences had their bags packed and their sights set for 12 days in Egypt, including three days in Cairo and a 4-day Nile River cruise. Then came the revolution. With less than a week remaining prior to departure, the trip was called off due to safety concerns. Half the group cancelled, but the other half – those with PTO approved and nowhere to go - quickly switched gears and headed to Sicily. The group landed in Palermo and were quickly enchanted by Sicilian landscape, food, and history. The 12-day tour included ancient Greek temples and theaters (they sat in a theater where Sophocles saw his plays performed for the first time), Roman arenas where gladiators battled wild animals to win their freedom, grand cathedrals and tiny churches (one with a lone Caravaggio on display), and castles that overlooked the azure Mediterranean.
Carolinas travelers even walked through the church where Michael Corleone and Apollonia were wed in The Godfather. CCHS alumnus Cathy Parris recollects: "I love history, so for me, this trip was heavenly. Standing next to an 8th Century BC Greek Temple surrounded by blooming almond trees in the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento? It just doesn't get any better!" Former CHS benefits administrator Ann Anderson adds, "The food was hands down remarkable! Sicily is the home of gelato and cannoli; the wines and cheeses are world class, and you haven't lived till you've tried freshly roasted Sicilian artichokes!" CCHS president Dr. Ellen Sheppard concluded, "We had to put the pyramids and the sphinx off for a year or two, but Sicily greatly exceeded our expectations!"

Hyundai Sonata Overview
The Sonata is a competitive but ho-hum sedan with a quiet cabin, a comfortable ride, and good rear-seat room and access. Handling is sound and responsive enough. But the SE we tested had lackluster tire grip, affecting braking and emergency handling. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder returned 28-mpg overall in our tests; a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder is optional. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic. The Eco features a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch. Controls are easy to reach and simple to use. Safety features include forward-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, and blind-spot detection. A hybrid version comes in June.

ALLEN A sudden increase of snake sightings at a popular Allen park is giving some patrons a case of the jitters.
Gail Lugo, fearing the reptiles were venomous, called the city, pleading for help. But the Allen Parks and Recreation Department is urging people not to worry.
Lugo became alarmed and frightened when she saw several snakes one at least five feet long nesting in tree roots, just a few feet from the trail at Bethany Lakes Park.
A lot of the kids were in their little flip-flops and running around on the grass, so you can't see the snakes really, she said. So slithering through the grass, somebody could be bitten or hurt.
Another large snake was killed by a park patron about 25 yards away. Others have been seen resting in trees.
Lugo and other people in the park feared the snakes were cottonmouth water moccasins, a venomous species commonly found in North Texas.
The Allen Parks and Recreation Department asked animal control officers to visit the park to identify the snakes. Based on markings, they were identified as non-venomous water snakes.
Charles Skelton was relieved to hear the snakes are not venomous. He often fishes here with his 12-year-old nephew.
There used to be a big concern. But now that I know they're not venomous, that's a good thing, Skelton said.
Lugo is also relieved. I walk my dogs here every day, and with all these kids out here, I would just hate to see anybody be bitten by one of these snakes if they were venomous, she said.
Parks department officials say snakes and people have co-existed at Bethany Lakes for years. Their advice: Leave the snakes alone and they'll likely leave you alone.

Could this plugin be enhanced to allow custom fields to be validated, too? Standard fields can easily be validated. But we have custom fields that are important so we also need them validated.
Are there plans to implement such a function or is there already a possibility to do this?

Letter 13869
Darwin, C. R. to Hawkins, B. W.
- +
Testimonial recommending B. Waterhouse Hawkins [for a teaching post].
Summary Add
Dear Sir,
I have much pleasure in sending my testimony to your skill as an artist both in drawing and engraving, and in several departments of Natural History, and if I may be permitted to add, of your general intelligence and knowledge. On the many occasions when I have had to meet you, I have invariably found your disposition to be most obliging.
With best wishes for your success. Your's faithfully, | (Signed) C. Darwin, F.R.S. &c. &c.

Dated from other testimonials, accompanying that of CD, in a file of copies headed: 'Testimonials of character and capabilities of B. Waterhouse Hawkins, Fellow of Linnean Society, Memb. of Soc. Arts'. Testimonials sent by Thomas Bell, secretary of the Royal Society from 1848 to 1853, and Edward Smith Stanley, Earl of Derby, who died in 1851, establish the date range. - +

Hawkins was evidently hoping to secure a position teaching art, as a testimonial from John Rogers Herbert states: 'I think your mode of teaching a sound one, and that the students would derive great advantage from a course of study under your directions'. - +
