Ultrafast Laser Sampling of a Plant Tissue and ion Conductivity Measurement for Investigation of Light Stress Generation Mechanisms
Date: August 2010
Creator: Abtahi, Seyed Ali
Description: In this study we applied ultra-short laser pulses on a biological sample (Arabidopsis), in order to cut it precisely in a square pattern and subsequently use it for studying stress generation mechanisms. For this purpose, we utilized femtosecond laser pulses at 100 fs pulse width and 80 MHz repetition rate. We took two processing parameters into consideration such as laser power, laser exposure time which is related to the stage speed. Therefore, we were able to find the laser optimum conditions for ablation of biological tissues. The mutant and wildtype (control) obtained from laser cutting with a size of 500 µm × 500 µm were directly transferred (in-situ with laser cutting) into a microfabricated chamber containing ~500 nanoliters deionized water for measuring ion conductivity. The ion conductivity is a signature of cell-death mechanisms caused by various stresses. A light with intensity of 100 µmol was exposed to the samples for 2 hours and 20 minutes as a source of stress. A quantitative electrical analysis with high accuracy was assured by utilizing a microchamber, which enables a measurement in nanoliter volume. We measured the impedance which is reciprocal of conductivity using a lock-in amplifier and a precise current source at frequency ...

Expression analysis of the fatty acid desaturase 2-4 and 2-3 genes from Gossypium hirsutum in transformed yeast cells and transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Zhang, Daiyuan
Description: Fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) enzymes are phosphatidylcholine desaturases occurring as integral membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and convert monounsaturated oleic acid into polyunsaturated linoleic acid. The major objective of this research was to study the expression and function of two cotton FAD2 genes (the FAD2-3 and FAD2-4 genes) and their possible role in plant sensitivity to environmental stress, since plants may increase the polyunsaturated phospholipids in membranes under environmental stress events, such as low temperature and osmotic stress. Two FAD2 cDNA clones corresponding to the two FAD2 genes have been isolated from a cotton cDNA library, indicating both genes are truly expressed in cotton. Model yeast cells transformed with two cotton FAD2 genes were used to study the chilling sensitivity, ethanol tolerance, and growth rate of yeast cells. The expression patterns of the two FAD2 genes were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) and Western blot analyses in cotton plants under different treatment conditions. The coding regions of both FAD2 genes were inserted downstream from the CaMV 35S promoter in the pMDC gateway binary vector system. Five different FAD2/pMDC constructs were transformed into the Arabidopsis fad2 knockout mutant background, and multiple potential transgenic Arabidopsis plant ...

N-Acylethanolamine (NAE) profiles change during Arabidopsis thaliana seed germination and seedling growth.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Wiant, William C.
Description: An understanding of the potential roles as lipid mediators of a family of bioactive metabolites called N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) depends on their accurate identification and quantification. The levels of 18C unsaturated NAEs (e.g. NAE18:2, NAE 18:3, etc.) in wild-type seeds (about 2000 ng/g fw) generally decreased by about 80% during germination and post-germinative growth. In addition, results suggest NAE-degradative fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) expression does not play a major role in normal NAE metabolism as previously thought. Seedlings germinated and grown in the presence of abscisic acid (ABA), an endogenous plant hormone, exhibited growth arrest and secondary dormancy, similar to the treatment of seedlings with exogenous Nlauroylethanolamine (NAE12:0). ABA-mediated growth arrest was associated with higher levels of unsaturated NAEs. Overall, these results are consistent with the concept that NAE metabolism is activated during seed germination and suggest that the reduction in unsaturated NAE levels is under strict temporal control and may be a requirement for normal seed germination and post-germinative growth.

Studies on Plant-aphid Interactions: a Novel Role for Trehalose Metabolism in Arabidopsis Defense Against Green Peach Aphid
Date: May 2012
Creator: Singh, Vijay
Description: Myzus persicae (Sülzer), commonly known as the green peach aphid (GPA), is a polyphagous insect that can infest over 100 families of economically important plants and is major pest for vegetable crops. This study utilizes the Arabidopsis-GPA model system with the aim to elucidate the role of the plant disaccharide trehalose in providing defense against GPA. This study demonstrates a novel role for TPS11 in providing defense against GPA. TPS11 expression was found to be transiently induced in Arabidopsis plants in response to GPA infestation and the TPS11 gene was required for curtailing GPA infestation. TPS11, which encodes for trehalose phosphate synthase and phosphatase activities, contributes to the transient increase in trehalose in the GPA infested tissues. This work suggests that TPS11-dependent trehalose has a signaling function in plant defense against GPA. in addition, trehalose also has a more direct role in curtailing GPA infestation on Arabidopsis. This work also shows that TPS11 is able to modulate both carbohydrate metabolism and plant defenses in response to GPA infestation. the expression of PAD4, an Arabidopsis gene required for phloem-based defenses against GPA, was found to be delayed in GPA infested tps11 mutant plants along with increased sucrose levels and lower starch ...

Alterations in Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (Faah) Transcript Levels and Activity Lead to Changes in the Abiotic Stress Susceptibility of Arabidopsis Thaliana
Date: May 2012
Creator: Gonzalez, Gabriel
Description: N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are a class of bioactive lipids, and FAAH is one of the enzymes responsible for degrading NAEs in both plants and animals. in plants, FAAH appears to be closely associated with ABA, a phytohormone which has long been associated with plant stress responses, since the overexpression of FAAH in Arabidopsis results in ABA hypersensitivity. Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that alterations in FAAH transcript levels will result in altered stress responses in plants. to investigate this hypothesis experiments were carried out in which wild type (WT), FAAH-overexpressing (OE), and T-DNA insertional FAAH knockouts of Arabidopsis (faah) were grown in MS media under stress conditions. the stress conditions tested included chilling stress, heavy metal stress induced by cadmium or copper, nutrient limitations induced by low phosphorus or low nitrogen, salt stress induced with NaCl, and osmotic stress induced with mannitol. the OE plants were consistently hypersensitive to all stress conditions in relation to wild type plants. Inactive FAAH overexpressors did not have the hypersensitivity to the salt and osmotic stress of the active OE plants and were instead tolerant to these stresses. FAAH2 (faah2) knockouts and FAAH 1 and 2 double knockouts (faah 1+2) were based on some ...

Include Security Identifies Major Vulnerability in Tinder Online Dating App
Major Application Vulnerability Allowed Millions of Tinder Users to be Trackable for Most of 2013
NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Include Security, a boutique information security consulting firm, today unveiled new research showing that users of the popular online dating app Tinder were at significant risk due to a vulnerability they discovered in the geo-location feature of the application. This vulnerability allowed Tinder users to track each another's exact location for much of 2013.
Include Security's research team first discovered the flaw and reported it to Tinder this past fall, citing that the vulnerability would allow any Tinder user to find another user's location if the Tinder app is running, or their last known location if not. Using an algorithm called trilateration, Include Security's research team was able to get the exact latitude and longitude co-ordinates for any Tinder user.
According to the blog, "anyone with rudimentary programming skills could query the Tinder API directly and pull down the co-ordinates of any user." This resulted in a privacy violation for the users of the application.
Erik Cabetas, Managing Partner and Founder of Include Security said, "Due to Tinder's architecture, it is not possible for one Tinder user to know if another took advantage of this vulnerability during the time of exposure. The repercussions of a vulnerability of this type were pervasive given Tinder's massive global base of users. Once our research team discovered it, we reported the vulnerability directly to Tinder and followed up multiple times between October and December 2013 to ensure they were addressing the problem."
At some point between December and early January, Tinder did issue a fix for this problem.
"As more and more applications are being built to include geo-location services, there is an increased risk to the privacy and safety of users," added Cabetas. "Application vendors and developers have a responsibility to ensure their users' privacy and security is protected, vulnerabilities are communicated promptly, and priority is given to developing important fixes like this."

This is a typical Marc Dorcel film with amazingly beautiful girls with fantastic figures (all in their early 20s I'd say) and no real plot. Just lots of fucking. If you like high class erotic but hard core porn this is definitely a good buy.
December 30, 2010
Reviewer: Customer Review
What a brainwave to come up with the idea of doing an adult film set in a finishing school for hot, young Russian tottie. It helps too that the director is Herve Bodilis who is one of the best at merging hardcore action with intense eroticism and making the end product look spectacular. The kind of scenes you want are all here - guys sneaking through the dorm windows at night to fuck the ladies, naked pillow fights down the corridor, one hottie seduces two janitors (she gets caught and expelled, the headmistress has the 2 janitors lick her out and double penetrate her in her office!), two gorgeous blondes seduce the hunky PE instructor in the changing rooms, the lezzie nurse in the surgery and the doctor who likes to examine his female patients with his one eyed member and an orgy featuring anal, double penetrations and facials.
Every woman in this is extremely hot and is either wearing a uniform of tartan mini skirt and white blouse, or they're at the gym, in which case it's tight red lycra. The sexual performances and the acting are excellent and there's plenty of opportunities for humour, not least with the lucky, yet put upon janitors.
Russian Institute Lesson 2 is all about being as sexy, smart and downright erotic as an adult film can be - it more than succeeds.

Harriet Howard
Harriet Howard, born Elizabeth Ann Haryett (1823–1865) was a mistress and financial backer of Louis Napoleon, later Napoleon III of France.
She was the daughter of a bootmaker and the granddaughter of the owner of the Castle Hotel in Brighton. At the age of fifteen, she ran off with Jem Mason, a well-known jockey, to live with him in London. As his red-headed mistress and an aspiring actress, she renamed herself Harriet Howard and was referred to as Miss Howard. At the age of eighteen, her next lover and patron was the married Major Mountjoy Martyn, Life Guards. Miss Howard bore him a son, Martin Constantin Haryett, who at his baptism was presented as the child of her parents. The grateful Major Martyn bestowed a fortune on her and their son.
At a party given by Lady Blessington in 1846, Miss Howard met Louis Napoleon, pretender to the throne of France, but at that time exiled in London. He moved in with her. With her wealth, she supported his efforts and conspiracies to return to France. Napoleon brought his two sons (Alexandre Louis Eugène and Louis Ernest Alexandre) from an affair at the prison at Ham[1] into the household, where they were educated along with Martin.
In 1848 Napoleon returned to France and eventually became President. Miss Howard with the three boys moved to the rue de Cirque adjacent to the Palais de l'Élysée, where she kept herself in the background as his mistress. She had a powerful enemy in Napoleon's cousin Princess Mathilde to whom he was once engaged (1836) and who also had supported him financially. Miss Howard continued to support his aspirations to become emperor and largely financed his 1851 Coup d'état.[1] One year later, after a confirming plebiscite, he became Napoleon III, Emperor of the French. Soon, he was on a search for an empress, and Miss Howard found herself cast aside. Napoleon, after having been rejected by Carola of Vasa of Sweden and other high-standing members of the nobility, chose Eugenie de Montijo. Miss Howard was sent away to Le Havre when Napoleon announced this marriage, and her secretary desk was emptied of its compromising letters.
Countess de Beauregard[edit]
Miss Howard's fortune was built up again, as Napoleon repaid his financial obligations. She was given the title comtesse de Beauregard, owner of the Château de Beauregard near the main route between La Celle-Saint-Cloud and Versailles near Paris.[2] Within six months of the marriage, Napoleon resumed his relationship with her. His wife, who found sex "disgusting", forbade him to see her, and he, being in need of an heir, had to submit.[1]
Eventually in 1854, Miss Howard married Captain Clarence Trelawny, an English horse breeder who used her money for his business. The two sons of Napoleon she helped to raise returned to their mother. However, Harriet and Clarence's marriage was difficult and did not last - they divorced in 1865, the same year she died.[3]
The relationship to her son Martin was also strained — at his 21st birthday party, he asked her publicly: "Now that I'm grown, Mother, won't you tell me who my father was?".[4] Martin was later made comte de Béchevêt by Napoleon III, married into Hungarian nobility and had three children, Richard Martyn Haryett de Béchevêt, Grisilde Charlotte Haryett de Béchevêt and Marianne Josephine Haryett de Béchevêt. When Martin died in 1907, his son Richard inherited his title.[3][5]
She is buried alongside her son in the cemetery of Le Chesnay, located less than 900 metres from the château (now destroyed).

A female wolf dog with a collar and chain around her neck was found wandering the streets of East New York, Brooklyn, on Tuesday night. The New York Daily News says that police found the three-year-old; New York Animal Care and Control spokesman Richard Gentles said that she "appeared to have been kept as an exotic pet."
Mating a grey wolf with a wolf-like dog (a Siberian Huskie or Alaskan Malamute) produces a wolf dog hybrid which is considered a wild animal and therefore illegal in New York. No one has yet claimed her and officials say they will most likely send the 53-pound brown wolf dog to a sanctuary for unwanted wolf dogs.
UPDATE, 11:30 am, December 25: The wolf dog was transported to a wolfdog rescue called Howling Woods Farm in New Jersey yesterday morning. She is not "dangerous" as described in news reports but a "real sweetheart."
The East New York wolf dog is not the only exotic animal recently found in urban quarters on the east coast. NJ.com says that, this past Thursday, the Mercer County Sheriff's officers attempted to serve a restraining order to a home in the Wilbur section of Trenton. Officers found six small alligators, two turtles, a hamster and four sick and injured dogs living in what were called "dirty and cluttered conditions." The alligators, which were up to two feet long, were in a plastic bin that was filled with stagnant water; a seventh, six-inch long alligator was found dead in a plastic container. The dogs were skinny, with injuries on their snouts. Karen Craddock, the mother of the animals' owner, was present at the house and said that her son sometimes fed them and sometimes did not. The animals' owner, Terrance Pierce, was not at the house when the officers investigated.
Describing one dog who wore a collar studded with screws pointing out, NJ.com says that "the dog wagged his tail and appeared happy to see people."
The discovery of the wolf dog, alligators and other exotic animals, as well as the tragedy earlier this year in Zanesville — in which Terry Thompson let out 50 exotic animals and shot himself, and 49 of the animals were shot dead except for one monkey that was most likely eaten by one of the cats — all highlight the need for states to review laws regarding exotic animals ownership. As Care2′s Megan Drake asked earlier this year,
Should it be legal for individuals to own and house exotic animals?
According to BornFreeUSA, 20 states (including New Jersey) have a ban on private ownership of exotic animals; nine states have a partial ban; nine states (including Ohio) have no license or permit requirements. Having such laws will not completely prevent people from illegally buying and keeping animals. But they are an important deterrent to protect exotic animals from cruel and inhumane treatment.

Keeping exotic pets should be illegal, not to mention abusing/neglecting any pet of any kind should be illegal.
Thanks for the update on the "wolf dog".
@Thomas P.: I dunno, I've heard stories about wolves in other parts of the world - i.e. not the U.S. - that make me slightly queasy. Is there something about American wolves that they don't attack people even in bad times, or is this just a result of common sense or the closing down of the national parks in winter?
I can't get my head round hoarding or animal hoarding. But, thank god the authorities intervened when they did.
Thanks. I have known 2 people in NYC who have wolves. They too were not dangerous at all and quite loving. I feel like wolves are one of the most misunderstood animals. I'm not suggesting people should take wolves in as pets...I'm simply stating a fact.
Martha E., I tend to agree with you there, about those who have some NEED for an exotic animal to have low self-esteem. My own daughter was an example (my avatar is one of her wolf hybrids she had for 15 years and I loved that animal dearly, and ended up taking care of her much of the time). When younger, she was a sort of "follower" in a group, but always wanted something "different" when it came to clothes, animals (pets), etc., so she could "stand out" and get attention. She wanted a Bengal (cat) for a long time and took me with her to visit a cattery. At the time, the price was more than she could afford and she wanted to borrow the money from me and I refused, so that was the base for a long-time argument between us. The first wolf hybrid she got (full brother to the one in my avatar) had serious issues, including aggression and unstable temperament. She saw a photo of a Savannah and wanted one, and the list goes on...........from Pixie-Bobs to a snow leopard! I have an online friend who has wolves and a Savannah, and while I know they get all the best care she can provide, the lives they lead is not what they should or deserve. They are kept in a secure enclosure and the Savannah was kept in her house for some time until she decided he was shredding it into pieces and put him in an adjacent pen to the wolves, but he's 100% alone there. I don't think it's fair.
Keeping exotic pets is wrong for the animals and dangerous for humans. I suspect that these kinds of people are low on self-esteem and hungering for attention. Those of us who want unconditional love, rescue dogs and cats, who are domesticated and rely on humans for their keep.
I'll never understand why stupid, horrible people think it's acceptable to trap wild animals in their homes, and not feed them
As well as inflict unnecessary injuries on them. Why???
This has to STOP. I hope charges will be brought forward against the owner as well as his mother?

A few weeks ago I was privileged to hear David Einhorn Capital speak at the UJA (my notes on the speech are here.) . For anyone unfamiliar with David Einhorn, here is a bio:
DAVID EINHORN is president and co-founder of Greenlight Capital, a long-short value-oriented hedge fund, which started with $1 million under management in 1996, and now has over $7billion under management. The fund has been closed to new investors for several years. From 1996-2010, Greenlight has generated greater than 30% gross returns on an annual basis.
David Einhorn is Chairman of the Board of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (NASDAQ:GLRE) and serves on the boards of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and the Robin Hood Foundation.
Einhorn graduated summa cum laude with distinction in all subjects from Cornell University, where he earned a B.A. from the College of Arts and Sciences.
In 2008 Einhorn authored Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story, which described his battle with Allied Capital. Einhorn alleged fraud in the book that took place starting with his investigation of the company in 2002. Einhorn released an updated version of the book in December 2010 titled Fooling Some of the People All of the Time, A Long Short (and Now Complete) Story, Updated with New Epilogue, where he adds an epilogue regarding further fraud at Allied, which could not be revealed at the time of original publication. The epilogue also discusses the collapse of Allied Capital, and his short of Lehman Brothers. David Einhorn is donating 100% of the proceeds from the book to charity.
At the UJA speech, David was asked his favorite books. His three favorite ones are detailed below:
Seth Klarman's Margin of Safety: The book is one of the most stolen books from libraries. Used copies of the book cost several hundred dollars. Margin of Safety, is a rare insight into the investment philosophy of Seth Klarman, who tends to shy away from publicity. The book focuses on value investing with an emphasis on special situation investing. While, Margin of Safety does not get too much into the specific investments that Seth Klarman made, it gets into the theory behind it. Almost every value oriented analyst I have spoken to considers the book to be one of the top five books on investing. Seth Klarman was named by Warren Buffett as one of top three favorite investors.
Joel Greenblatt's "You Can Be a Stock Market Genius: Joel Greenblatt's book has a bit of a cheesy title, but the information is gold. The book is similar to Seth Klarman's Margin of Safety; however, Greenblatt focuses more on specific investments instead of focusing mostly on the process. Klarman ( here)and Dan Loeb (here) both recommended reading the book. Greenblatt discusses many examples where investors can make high returns including, spin-offs, recapitalizations, and LEAPs. This is probably the best book on how to find special situations.
Michael Lewis's "Liar's Poker": Michael Lewis is one of the most entertaining and insightful financial authors. Liar's Poker discusses Lewis's time on Wall Street, mostly focusing on his career as a bond trader. Lewis in a humorous manner writes about the rise and the fall of the Salomon Brothers. Lewis also discusses junk bonds at length, and the fraud of the junk bond king, Michael Milken. Seth Klarman also recommended reading "anything by Michael Lewis".
Finally there is David Einhorn's own book, Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story. While Einhorn did not recommend the book itself, one can assume he would recommend his own book. The book discusses David Einhorn's short of Allied Capital. I really enjoyed the book; a full book review that I wrote on it can be found here.

Ablation Frontiers Uses Novel Technology in Treatment of Chronic Atrial
Fibrillation Patients
CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Ablation Frontiers, Inc. today announced the expansion of enrollment in the first ever U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial for interventional treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF). Approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to proceed with the pivotal phase of the study is based on the review of an initial feasibility segment completed in August 2007. Completion of the clinical trial, which will compare the safety and efficacy of tailored ablation therapy against traditional pharmaceutical regimens, will support a pre-market approval (PMA) application to the FDA.
Having received FDA approval to enter the pivotal phase of the trial in the fourth quarter of 2007, several patients have already been randomized into the study. Initial US treatment sites included The Lahey Clinic and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts. Their first patient, with a three year history of continuous AF, was successfully treated and returned home the next day with a normal heart rhythm. After the two-hour and ten-minute procedure, Dr. Gregory Michaud had the following enthusiastic comment, "I am really excited about this new technology. It has two advantages that are immediately apparent. One, the catheters are simpler to use than the traditional 'point-by-point' catheters, thus reducing the time it takes to complete complex left atrial procedures. Second, the depth of the radiofrequency energy lesions is controllable, which makes damage to collateral structures, such as the esophagus, less likely."
The Ablation Frontiers Cardiac Ablation System, being evaluated in this
clinical study, was developed under the guidance of Drs. Fred Morady and
Hakan Oral, at the University of Michigan. Designed to be a versatile tool

Anti-pesticide campaigner Georgina Downs has scored another victory. With over 61 per cent of the final vote, her win on The Observer Secret Pioneers poll was overwhelming.
Surprised by the result, Downs ponders: 'Perhaps it's because I was forced into my role. Some of the individuals featured in the Secret Pioneers supplement wanted and trained for their careers. This is absolutely not what I choose to do, but what I've been forced to do in order to try and stop the Government allowing the continuous spraying of poisonous chemicals near homes, schools and playgrounds.'
After fields next to her family home were switched from grazing to regularly-sprayed arable crops in 1984, Downs suffered from health issues including flu-type illnesses, blistered sore throats and headaches. By 1991, she was hospitalised with severe muscle wastage and muscle weakness. After digging for an explanation, Downs was shocked to find that 'under existing government policy, local farmers were spraying poisonous chemicals into the air I breathed'.
After researching the subject exhaustively, she launched her independent, award-winning UK Pesticides Campaign in 2001. She's spent the past seven years working and presenting her case to the government, its scientific advisors and officials.
In July 2008, she embarked on a landmark High Court case to judicially review the government's approach and policy on pesticide use.
'The European Commission has acknowledged that pesticides can cause serious disturbances to the immune system, cancers, sterility, birth defects, damage to the nervous system and genetic damage, among other effects,' says Downs. 'There's significant public concern over the use of pesticides in conventional farming. A 2006 EU survey found that pesticides were the number one concern among EU citizens, at nearly 65 per cent.'
This public concern reverberated after Downs was selected as one of 20 'Secret Pioneers' in the supplement. 'I got lots of supportive emails from rural residents severely affected by pesticides as a result of the article. One woman explained how her nine year old daughter, who'd lived and been schooled next to large crop fields, was diagnosed with leukaemia in January of this year. The mother had read about studies linking childhood leukaemia with pesticides and she gave me her full support.'
Downs also feels that Julian Baggini's article on the definition of a pioneer (published in the same supplement), may have inadvertently bolstered public support. 'Baggini suggested I must have "warped priorities" to become an anti-pesticide campaigner. But with all the unarguable scientific evidence I have amassed over the last seven years, I would be acting completely irresponsibly if I didn't do what I do.'
In addition to increased public support, Downs has received further formal recognition of her efforts. Since appearing in Secret Pioneers, she's been nominated in the new Inspiration Awards for Women and elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce (RSA). After reading Secret Pioneers, the chairman of 'Women of the Year' invited Downs to their annual lunch which she describes as 'another real privilege.'
Aside from the accolades, Downs' main focus is on the result of her High Court action and in Europe. In July 2006, the European Commission produced new pesticide policy proposals currently being debated by the European Parliament and the European Council. 'These proposals have gone back to the European Parliament for a second reading,' Downs explains. 'Now is the time for anyone concerned about the health and environmental impacts from pesticide use to contact their MEPs and make their voices heard.'

In a 2-1 decision with potentially broad ramifications for power markets, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has overturned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's rule requiring ISO and RTOs to pay electricity consumers for "demand response," that is, to pay them for reducing their electric usage during certain periods. The case was brought by a group of industry trade groups including the American Public Power Association, Edison Electric Institute, Electric Power Supply Association and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
The court ruled that Order No. 745 amounted to regulation of retail sales of electricity, an activity exclusively within the authority of states, not FERC. FERC had maintained that it was only regulating "practices" affecting wholesale energy markets, something within its authority. But that rationale, the court said, left no boundaries on FERC's authority. It "could ostensibly authorize FERC to regulate any number of areas, including the steel, fuel, and labor markets."
The court also had harsh words for FERC's ruling on compensation. "If FERC thinks its jurisdictional struggles are its only concern with Order 745," the Court said, "it is mistaken." Even if FERC had authority to regulate demand response, the court ruled, its actions were still unlawful since it had failed to address arguments that the demand response payments it had authorized were too high. By having RTOs pay demand response the same price paid to wholesale energy suppliers, the parties had argued, FERC would be subsidizing demand response. End users would be overcompensated because they would receive payments for not using electricity and get a lower energy bill because they were purchasing less electricity. This, the court said, "seems troubling," particularly since FERC Commissioner Moeller had voiced the same criticism and since FERC had offered no meaningful response.
Dissenting Judge Edwards said that he would have affirmed the agency's decision. While FERC can't regulate retail sales, he said, it wasn't clear "whether a promise to forgo consumption of electricity that would have been purchased in a retail electricity market unambiguously constitutes a 'sale of electric energy.'" And because FERC gets the benefit of the doubt when statutes are ambiguous, he concluded, its claim of jurisdiction should have been upheld.
As to the question of compensation, Judge Edwards also sided with FERC. FERC, he said, had not ignored the overcompensation arguments, but had offered a plausible explanation for the demand response compensation plan it had approved. "This court has no business second-guessing the Commission's judgment on the level of compensation."
This case is likely to have considerable significance. As both the court majority and the dissenting judge note, RTOs around the country all have had mechanisms to compensate demand response, even before Order No. 745. The court's opinion does not directly address whether their pre-Order No. 745 mechanisms will be affected by its ruling.

Wichita Falls picks up big win
It's no secret that the Wichita Falls Wildcats have struggled of late — they have posted just three wins since Thanksgiving.
Friday night, they hoped to turn things around as they hosted New Mexico.
Wildcats 5
Mustangs 0
And the Mustangs, who are winless on the road this season, were just what the doctor ordered.
The Wildcats got goals from five different players and Tyler Green pitched a shutout as the 'Cats coasted to a 5-0 win at Kay Yeager Coliseum.
The contest started an important stretch of games that will see the 'Cats play nine home games in the next five weeks.
Green (10-9-2) stopped 29 shots en-route to his second shutout of the season.
"It was a big win for us," said Green. "We played a solid 60 for the first time in a while."
Wildcats coach Mark LeRose had nothing but praise for his net minder.
"We got a great night from our goaltender. He was especially good in the third period," he said.
The win gave Wichita Falls (18-18-4) an important two points as the Wildcats try to hold off Corpus Christi (17-22-2) for the last playoff spot in the NAHL South. The IceRays beat Amarillo 3-2 Friday night.
"We have played well lately and played well last weekend in Topeka," said LeRose. "It's good to see us get this shutout at home. We went to a more aggressive forecheck. The big key was getting pressure on them to keep them in check."
A pair of first-period goals staked the Wildcats to a quick lead.
Dakota Klecha's 20th goal of the season got the 'Cats on the board just 1:15 in. Klecha skated unmarked into the Mustangs' end and beat New Mexico goalie Matt Madore with a nifty backhander.
A much-needed goal from a power-play unit that has struggled gave the Wildcats a two-goal cushion. Chris Leone found a rebound in a crowd of players in front of Madore and somehow was able to slide the puck over the goal line.
The Wildcats' penalty killers were exceptional in the first as they denied three power-play chances from the Mustangs.
The second period was almost a carbon copy of the first. The Mustangs went 0 of 3 on the power play once again and the 'Cats scored three times.
Ryan Frost put Wichita Falls up 3-0 in the first two minutes of the second. Will Suter outskated New Mexico to a loose puck in the corner and found Frost with a perfect pass. The Wildcats forward buried a one-timer that Madore had no chance to stop.
The 'Cats second power-play tally increased their lead to four. Madore couldn't handle a shot from the blue line and the rebound came right to Drew Allen, who slammed the puck home.
Patrick Yudez continued the onslaught with a shorthanded goal with 1:34 left in the second. He outworked two Mustangs defenders for a loose puck and bested Madore with a backhander from the slot that crawled over the goal line.
The 'Cats and the Mustangs will face off again at 7:05 tonight.
Notes: Colton Warner, who was the player that the 'Cats got from Amarillo in the Sean Keane trade has left the team. His rights still belong to Wichita Falls and he could be moved to another team. The Mustangs were 0-9 on the power play. Attendance was 2,698.

PRLog - April 11, 2012 - LOS ANGELES -- LOS ANGELES, CA – Leveraging social media websites beyond Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn is one way for a small business to further grow customer lists, increase website traffic and build brand awareness. Campaigner®, an email marketing service and brand of j2 Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM) that empowers companies to better attract and retain business through creative email marketing campaigns, offers five ways to increase the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns. Selecting targeted visuals from social photo sharing websites like Pinterest and Gentlemint can enhance marketing content, encourage customer interaction and raise social media responses.
Campaigner Logo
As the adage states, a picture is worth a thousand words. Unlike social websites that rely on a limited number of characters to increase brand awareness and product availability, sites like Pinterest and Gentlemint focus instead on graphics rather than explanations through words. According to Pinterest, the public is strongly responding to the visual pinboard concept. Since its launch in 2010, Pinterest has grown to over 10.4 million members and daily users have increased 145 percent since the beginning of the year (http://techcrunch.com/
Campaigner offers several time-saving tools to add visual imagery to email marketing campaigns (http://www.youtube.com/
Campaigner suggests the following five tips for making the most out of new visual social platforms:
1. Find the right audience — Pinterest membership is female dominated. Top pins are about crafts, gifts, interior design and fashion. Gentlemint has a smaller base and is primarily comprised of a male readership. Try one social platform before diving in based on the audience. If targeting both sites, keep the audience in mind when choosing photos to add to boards.
2. Get the news out — Once the account is set up, include the board link in all new email marketing campaigns. For example, add a 'Follow us' button on Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/
3. Captivate and capture — Make it as easy as possible to subscribe to an email marketing program. Include a sign-up form in a prominent position on every website page, on Pinterest and/or Gentlemint boards and pages on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. To increase the number of new opt-ins, consider including a targeted incentive offer to sign-up. A dedicated sign-up form is another easy method to track the impact of this sign-up source.
4. Make new friends but keep the old — Don't neglect other tried and true social networks. Additional reach can be gained if those pinning a business' content are also linked to Facebook and/or Twitter accounts. Content shared on one social platform may be shared on another; thus extending the exposure while increasing customer engagement and driving people to a company's website.
5. Build from what is gleaned — With Campaigner, emails sent to subscribers contain trackable links, providing insight into what the subscriber clicked on in order to get to a website. Use this information to monitor the click through rates and resulting Web traffic. This will help determine if this is a tactic that should be continued and perhaps even updated more frequently. One way to do this is to pin images of the newest products and services and include links back to the company website in the Pin's description. Popular content can also be repined regularly to keep boards fresh.

Finally, the lack of unified accountability disperses responsibility for system failures and perpetuates divisions between public safety and medical-based emergency and trauma care professionals. The degree to which the scattered responsibility for emergency and trauma care at the federal level has contributed to this disappointing performance is unclear. Regardless, the committee believes a new approach is warranted.
Strong federal leadership for emergency and trauma care is at the heart of the committee's vision for the future, and continued fragmentation of responsibility at the federal level is unacceptable. The committee considered two options for remedying the situation: (1) maintain the status quo, giving the FICEMS approach time to strengthen and mature, or (2) designate or create a new lead agency within the federal government for emergency and trauma care. Some of the key differences between these two approaches are summarized in Table 3-1.
Option 1: Maintain the status quo and allow FICEMS to strengthen The committee considered the ramifications of maintaining the status quo. The problems associated with fragmented federal leadership of emergency care, documented above, include variable funding, periodic program cuts, programmatic duplication, and critical program gaps. With the recent enactment of a statutory framework for FICEMS, however, the committee considered the possibility that the need for a lead federal agency has diminished. The committee carefully examined the rationale for delaying the move toward a lead federal agency and allowing FICEMS time to gain strength. The central argument in support of this strategy is that there have been a number of recent improvements in collaboration at the federal level, and these efforts should be given a chance to work before an unproven and politically risky approach is pursued. Several recent developments support this view: the enactment of a statutory framework for FICEMS; the increasing level of collaboration among some federal agencies; the substantial new NHTSA funding for a next-generation 9-1-1 initiative; and the elevation of the NHTSA EMS program to the Office of EMS, which has the potential to improve visibility and funding for EMS, and perhaps other aspects of emergency and trauma care, within the federal government.
While the committee applauds these positive developments, setbacks have occurred as well. As noted above, DHHS's Division of Emergency Medical Services, its Division of Trauma and EMS, and most recently its Trauma-EMS Systems Program were recently zeroed out of the federal budget. Federal funding for AHRQ, nonbioterrorism programs at CDC, and other federal programs related to emergency and trauma care at the

Former Georgia Bulldog and NFL players D.J. Shockley and Lindsay Scott will host a sports camp at Eagle's Landing Christian Academy on June 9.
The all-day event is open to athletes ages 6-16; and regardless of whether they are aspiring to catch the attention of college and pro scouts, or just trying to learn how to catch, period, camp director Rachel Rudolf says there will be something there for everyone.
"We have a lot of kids who would like to play sports and will use this as an introduction, while some will want to get an advantage that makes them separate themselves from the crowd," Rudolf said.
The camp will begin at 9 a.m. and will include lunch, autographs and pictures with the former pros and a flag football game with Shockley, a North Clayton High product, playing quarterback. Though the sports instruction is, no doubt, the camp's most popular feature, Rudolf says it's not just about kicking, catching, running and throwing.
"These camps aren't only focused on football or on baseball. This is also about role modeling and leadership," Rudolf said. "This is why we wanted players like D.J. He's a great guy and great with the kids. We want to teach them about character as well as their ability, and how to be leaders as well as good, moral players."
Shockey starred at Georgia from the 2001-2005, guiding the Bulldogs to the 2005 SEC title. He also played four seasons in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons. Scott — a first-round NFL draft pick in 1982 who played three years with the New Orleans Saints — is probably best known for his 92-yard touchdown catch and run to beat Florida in 1980 — the same year Georgia won the national title.
Camp registration is limited to the first 75 that register. The cost is $95. Campers can register at www.everettsm.com or by calling Rachel Rudolf directly at 864-350-1222.
Rudolf's organization will also host a baseball camp with former Atlanta Braves Ryan Klesko and Brian Jordan on July 21at Red Hawk Baseball Complex in McDonough.

New Equipment and Uses
The Murdock Trust core equipment grant will enable IDRI to purchase large equipment that is difficult to obtain with conventional research grant funding. Once implemented, the equipment core will enable IDRI's researchers to engage in high-throughput and state-of-the-art assays. Expanding IDRI's basic research equipment core will facilitate the investigation of pathogen- induced immune responses and will help identify new treatment strategies for target infections.
"We are confident we can effectively use this generous grant from the Murdock Trust to perform much needed research about diseases that plague so many millions of people around the world," says Steve Reed, Founder and Head of Research and Development of IDRI.
About M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust
The M.J. Murdock Charitable trust was established in 1975 by the late Melvin J. (Jack) Murdock, who co-founded Tektronix, Inc. of Beaverton, Oregon, and resided in Vancouver, Washington. The mission of the Murdock Charitable Trust is to enrich the quality of life in the Pacific Northwest by providing grants to organizations that seek to strengthen the region's educational and cultural base in creative and sustainable ways. Although the major funding interests are education and scientific research, grants are also given to a wide variety of organizations, including those that serve the arts, public affairs, health and medicine, human services, and people with disabilities.
The Murdock Charitable Trust has focused its grant-making efforts in
the following five states of the Pacific Northwest: Alaska, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, and Washington. Beyond grant-making and investment, the Murdock
Charitable Trust functions to convene groups of people to discuss issues of
mutual interest. This practice is of great assistance to the Murdock
Charitable Trust in exploring ways of responding to new grant-making

If we are next time in your area we'll visit you again. Keep in touch.
Roberto and Alessia are the kindest hosts and have built a truly beautiful place to host their B&B. Cannot recommend it enough. A very special place!
La casa di Alessia e Roberto è un piccolo gioiello nel verde di una campagna rigogliosa. I dettagli delle stanze e delle zone comuni sono curati e loro sono squisiti. La padrona di casa è un'ottima cuoca e ci si sente accolti da subito nel migliore dei modi. Le torte alla mattina, le marmellate, e poi la pulizia e la ricercatezza di alcuni particolari della casa, rendono Ca' Paravento un luogo piacevolissimo. Sicuramente da consigliare.
The best B&B in Italy I ever stayed in. Clean, Cousy and Cool;) Roberto and Alessias hospitality was unlimited, so I enjoyed every minut in the peaceful country house and felt very much at home. Here is thought of every detail from flowers on the bed table, free wifi and breakfast on the balcony. Go there - you'll regret it if you don't;)
We absolutely loved everything about this b&b.
You can't wish for a more lovely and warm couple as your hosts. Roberto and Alessia were very welcoming - they make you feel instantly at home - and extremely helpful and thoughtful throughout our stay. We were offered a drink at arrival, there were home made biscuits in the room, they booked us a table in a lovely restaurant and there was even a little cupcake with a candle at breakfast for Matt's birthday.
Everything in the b&b is done to such a high standard and Roberto and Alessia's love for this place can be found in every little detail throughout the b&b.
Breakfast was delicious, our room stunning, the surroundings gorgeous, our hosts perfect and the location great (not far from Gubbio and Urbino, both lovely places to visit) ... we just wished we could have stayed longer.
Needless to say we highly recommend staying here!
This is how you run a b&b!!
Siamo stati ospiti di Alessia e Roberto con i nostri due bimbi per tre giorni, nella CountryHouse. Un ambiente tranquillissimo e rilassante, immerso nel verde dei boschi e perfetto per godere pace e silenzio. La CountryHouse è un piccolo gioiello, arredata con cura e amore, perfetta sia per una coppia in fuga romantica che per una famiglia con bimbi. Cà Paravento, nonostante la posizione di isolamento e serenità rispetto ai rumori urbani, è a 15 minuti da Gubbio e comodissima per raggiungere molte mete di Marche e Umbria. Alessia e Roberto sono stati gentilissimi e disponibilissimi con noi ed i bimbi, dimostrando una ospitalità e una passione straordinaria. Siamo sicuri che li rivedremo presto! Le ultime parole famose di Zelda in merito: Toa bitotti pellapore!

Sono ormai anni che viviamo qui...prima siamo fuggiti dalla città, poi abbiamo ricostruito questi ruderi e in fine è diventata la nostra casa. Saremo felici di condividere questo angolo di pace con chiunque sappia apprezzarne la natura, la semplicità e tutto la passione che ci abbiamo messo.

If you are looking for the best, grab this!I was tracking various microwaves and did the rounds of almost all showrooms like Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, Croma etc. Flipkart gave the same item at best price, and atleast 2-3K less. Price wise don't need to look any further. However for own satisfaction, please do check in your own city.

Sewer Lift Station Repairs
PA ID# 101-53380-00; City of Minot
PW ID# 4694; Sewer Lift Station Repairs
CConclusion: The contracted electrical repair work was necessary to restore the City of Minot's (Applicant) lift station and the Applicant's bid cost was rrreasonable. However, the Applicant failed to demonstrate that its hazard mitigation proposal was cost-effective and did not substantiate that the cclaimed costs for engineering and design services were tied to the approved scope of work.
Summary Paragraph
The Applicant's Roosevelt Lift Station was damaged during a 2011 flood event. FEMA prepared PW 4694 for $14,421 for the permanent repairs and a hazard mitigation proposal (HMP). The Applicant submitted a first appeal, stating that the funding approved was for emergency repair and did not include the cost of permanent repairs ($119,300). The Applicant also requested $27,000 for the proposed HMP and $17,054 for engineering and design. FEMA partially approved the appeal, providing an additional $25,820 for the estimated cost of permanent repair, the HMP, and engineering and design services, but denied the Applicant's request for additional hazard mitigation funding because the Applicant did not break down the HMP lump-sum cost estimate. The Applicant's second appeal asserted that the plans provided to FEMA included a detailed description of the permanent electrical repairs and that the PW did not encompass all of the necessary repair work. The Applicant also asserted that FEMA underestimated project costs; the HMP is cost effective and the bid cost appropriate; and that its design engineer evenly divided actual costs for work performed for multiple facilities at each impacted ones.
Authorities Discussed
- FEMA Recovery Policy RP9526.1, Hazard Mitigation Funding Under Section 406 (Stafford Act)
- Cost Estimating Format (CEF) for Large Projects Instructional Guide V2.1, September 2009
- The contracted electrical repair work was necessary to restore the Roosevelt Lift Station and the bid cost was reasonable.
- A technical specialist reviewed the documented damage description and the repair work detailed in the bid documents and determined that the electrical work detailed in the plans and specifications was necessary to repair the lift station and that the $119,300 bid cost for that work was reasonable. Therefore, the electrical repair work is eligible and reasonable, actual costs to perform that work are eligible for funding.
- Under FEMA Recovery Policy RP9526.1, Hazard Mitigation Funding Under Section 406 (Stafford Act), HMPs must be cost effective to be eligible.
- The Applicant failed to provide a benefit-cost analysis supporting its claim the HMP was cost-effective.
- Cost Estimating Format (CEF) for Large Projects Instructional Guide V2.1, September 2009.
- CEF considers additional factors for services than just those covered by the Engineering and Design Services graph (Curves A and B) and is a more accurate method of estimating costs for such services than the graph alone.
- The Applicant failed to demonstrate its claimed costs for engineering and design services were directly tied to the approved scope of work.

Recent Tasting Notes
This is a 200g cake I got from Angelina's a while back. Entire cake was $11 so I wasn't expecting a whole lot.
The tea is stored in Xishuangbanna, which is humid so I think this means wet storage. It would be interesting to do a side by side comparison of the tea with one that was dry stored.
The cake is beautiful but one thing I noticed right away was how easily the cake breaks apart just using my hands. That's a sharp contrast to other teas I have that need to be pried open with a puer pick.
The flavor of tea is definitely earthy. There is also a slight bitterness in the finish that reminds me of tobacco, and that finish is present in the aroma as well. It doesn't have much of a fermentation odor but the flavor also seems a bit muddy and flat.
It started to improve at steep #4 and brought out some of the creamy notes that were promised, and became less bitter overall. Even so, I think it has a bit of a muddy aftertaste but it's hard to argue with $11.
I'd recommend this is you were looking for a cheap bargain but it isn't sending me to the heavens with the flavor. I think it will be an ok everyday drinker and I'll probably keep drinking it when I'm not in the mood for anything fancy.
A friend gave me a sample of this tea and I instantly fell in love. The strong caramel is backed up by a rich, powerful pu-erh with none of the negatives (fish, bitterness) that sometimes accompany pu-erh.I did two 3-minute steeps. For the first, the caramel was dominant, though the tea was definitely present. For the second, the tea dominated, though the caramel was still obviously present.
This tea makes me want to buy more from Angelina's teas. I'd never heard of them before, but this was really good.
Another fantastic surprise gift from boychik. Thank you!
This tea is unbelievable. It makes me wonder aloud "why does anyone make dessert tea with anything but pu erh?!" To be honest, I've been drifting away from flavored teas—hoping it's just a phase as I focus my attention on pu erh mostly, and because this tends to happen when it starts to warm up—but maaaan this is just the thing to snap me right back. As soon as I opened the bag I was hit with the best rich deep caramel aroma I've ever smelled in a tea, and then while rinsing, steeping, and putting my nose to the finished cup it just kept delivering. The body is somewhat full but not rough, and the flavor has this ever-so-slight raspiness that keeps that deep, heady caramel aroma from turning too cloying or gummy—it's a grounded, toasty caramel, not those individually wrapped light colored candies with cream in the center, not that milky. I reckon this is so people who like it nice and toasty can revel in it (deep deep deep!), and those who want that milky sweetness can add cream and/or sugar to taste. I love how it's so decadent yet it still definitely tastes like TEA, full of that dark, mysterious, murky wonder.
I feel teased because I'm too broke for even something so reasonably priced right now (or anything for that matter), but let me tell you, as soon as I have a chance to I'm ordering this one. It has the potential to ruin me for any other dessert tea, gadzooks. boychik really knows how to find stuff that hits it out of the park! If you love deep dark rich breakfast blends with sweet treat hints (which I loved about Butiki's Irish Cream Cheesecake, wish there were more morning blends like that that can wake you up but also make you feel a little indulgent) as well as the sweet rich shu pu erhs and maybe even the roasty coffee-chocolatey Wuyi oolongs, I have a feeling you'd be smitten. It is a little like Herbal Infusions' Moose Tracks meets Butiki's Irish Cream Cheesecake meets Mandala's Big Red Robe Fancy Grade. And something about the end of the sip, how it's thinner and clean, kind of reminds me a little of Lupicia's dessert flavored Orzo tisanes.
You are such fabulous reviewer. You are so free with words. Amazing;). Thank you, it simply made my morning.
As boychik said, you are such a fabulous reviewer. This was so much fun to read. :) This sounds beyond fantastic.
you can get this from a number of vendors…thus far all of them have been tasty that i've tried, if this version isn't easily accessible
aw, thanks boychik and DF! love you guys and seeing you when i get up here. (:
yeah Sil, i was poking around angelina's on the steepster DB and their site (because i like to torture myself) and i noticed there was overlap, the whole metropolitan tea scattered to the winds thing. good to have confirmation.
whatshesaid, i notice a lot of the time if you type just the tea name and no vendor in the steepster search box you will find a lot of different companies with what looks to be the same tea (often sourced by metropolitan if i'm remembering right).
I'm on vacation so I got some mini tuo cha with me. So convenient. This is a free sample I got fr Angelina's tea. I'm not into jasmine teas but decided to try. On a wrapper it's written 2002, so I assume it was pressed in 2002. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. The tuo doesn't look green, more brown and it doesn't have strong floral green smell. Jasmine is very soft, just a hint of it. And it's soo sweet, no bite, no bitterness. I like this tea a lot. It aged nicely. Sadly I went on their site and didn't find any.
i placed a teeny tiny order fr. Angelina's tea mostly with mini tuo puerh. while I was browsing on a site I noticed this blend which sounded so right to me nowdays. i have cravings for bold flavored teas. in the same time they shouldn't be artificial tasting. well, let me tell you, this tea tastes like Sheridan's. OMG, i love Sheridan's . unfortunately you can purchase it only if you go Caribbean. But if you want to cut expenses you can order this wonderful puerh fr Angelina's for $1.6/oz. . I feel bad that ordered only an oz, but I have a feeling i cannot resist another order.
Thank you Angelina's tea.
I cannot even imaging the taste of it with cream and sugar
ps i rinsed briefly, i always rinse Puerh even if its flavored
Flavors: Caramel, Vanilla
Sipdown!! (187)
I dropped the temperature and the time and was able to get rid of the astringency. There is also a very nice blueberry flavor to this tea. Unfortunately I am still not getting much maple. That doesn't mean I am not enjoying the cup though. Thank you Josie Jade for sharing with me!
Flavors: Berries
I never knew maple and blueberry was a thing but I keep seeing teas with that flavor combination. Who knew? Well, this smells amazing but I find myself disappointed. I taste the blueberry but the maple is nowhere to be found. Plus, there is an astringency that I am not really enjoying. I have one more cup worth though so perhaps I will have more success coaxing out the maple if I tweak the steeping parameters. Nonetheless, thank you Josie Jade for the chance to try this tea. It is always fun to experience something new.
Flavors: Berries
I really enjoyed this tea. The first thing that struck me about it was the fragrance. It's a very light tea in terms of taste in my opinion,. I prefer to take it without any sweetener since I think that would overpower the tea. This may become one of my favourites.
Pumpkin-flavored things are about the only thing that makes me excited for summer ending and fall beginning. Every year, I always want to try Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte, but then I remember how I don't like coffee and love tea. I tried The Republic of Tea's pumpkin spice blend and didn't like it at all – it was much too spicy from what I remember. When I saw this tea on Angelina's website I knew I wanted to try it, even though it's a rooibos and not a black tea. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! It definitely has that thick, creamy pumpkin flavor, especially with a little milk added. Actually, milk and sugar pretty much transforms this cup of tea in my opinion. It's also not too overwhelmingly spicy, which I appreciate. I like the pumpkin pie flavor, not the nothing-but-spices-with-a-little-pumpkin-on-the-side flavor. This is a great cup to celebrate fall!
-Dry blend has red and green pieces of rooibos and honeybush with pieces of nuts, spices, sweet potato cubes and puffed rice.
-Dry leaves smell softly of pumpkin and sweet spices. Tea liquor aroma is of candy pumpkin with a hint of spices and rooibos.
-Tea liquor is a cloudy medium orange brown color.
-Mediciney flavor with a spicy finish. Sweet creamy pumpkin aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Very good tea. Creamy pumpkin taste with a hint of sweet spices. Not too much rooibos flavor with milk and sweetener.
Have you tried dellaterra's pumpkin pie? It's a black, which I know you like, and I of course enjoy it with a ton of milk and sugar. delish!
First cup of the morning. I'm so glad it's already the weekend again. Even after just a short 2 day week after fall break, I was ready for the weekend again! Lots of homework to get done today, and also my dog's halloween costume. :) Then tomorrow we are going to visit a friend for the rest of the weekend. Today it's sunny outside, but very chilly.
This was another new tea from Angelina's. Since I love the blueberry maple tea so much, I thought this one may be a winner too, since it's blackberry and maple. It's good, but nothing compared to the blueberry maple. It's very softly flavored, and the blackberry is a little artificial. The maple doesn't really stand out either, it's just there as a sweet flavor in the background. Even the maltiness isn't really all that malty, just a rounded and gentle maltiness. I will gladly finish this 1 ounce, probably in my Timolino, but I doubt that I'll repurchase this one.
-Dry blend has medium and large black and green tea leaves with small blue and white flowers.
-Dry leaves smell softly of blackberries with a hint of sweet maple syrup. Tea liquor aroma is of warm berries.
-Tea liquor is a clear dark orange brown color.
-Malty and sweet fruity flavor and finish. Artificial berry and maple aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. A softly flavored cup. Light berry flavor with a touch of sweetness from the maple.
I've been wanting to try this tea for awhile. I remember someone raving about Monk's Blend in one of their reviews, and I've been curious ever since. This is pretty good, very sweet and a little artificial tasting, but not too much. It has a syrupy sweet aroma and flavor. The vanilla is a nice touch to the grenadine's sweetness, and it gives it a creamy texture. I like this one, but I'm not sure if I will purchase more after I get through this ounce. Maybe I'll have to try another company's blend to see if it tastes any different.
-Dry blend has large black tea leaves and twigs with large yellow petals.
-Dry leaves smell fruity and syrupy sweet. Tea liquor aroma is of vanilla and sweet fruit.
-Tea liquor is a clear dark orange brown color.
-Malty and fruity flavor with a sweet fruity finish. Light creamy grenadine aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. A syrupy sweet cup with a fruity hint and a vanilla creaminess.
Another new Angelina's Tea to try. And sadly, it's the last day of fall break. Of course I never did my homework this whole time, so today will be spent doing homework, running errands and getting organized for the week. Yesterday was a fun day of shopping with the fiancee and having lunch. We also got started on our Halloween costumes, yay! Every year we always wait until the last minute and don't have time to put together any thing really good. This year we're more on top of it, and I am so excited. Come on, October 31st!
This tea smells wonderful, with a creamy vanilla scent and just a hint of nuttiness. The flavor is completely malty at first, with hardly any other flavors. I was able to coax out the vanilla and hazelnut with a little milk and sugar, and now its a perfectly rich cup of hazelnut and vanilla yuminess. I wanted to like this tea a little more, but it's still not a bad cup. I'm looking forward to enjoying this tea on the upcoming chilly fall days!
-Dry blend has large black tea leaves and twigs with large yellow petals.
-Dry leaves smell like creamy vanilla with a hint of nuttiness. Tea liquor aroma is of rich sweet vanilla.
-Tea liquor is a clear dark reddish brown color.
-Deep malty flavor with a sweet and nutty finish. Strong malty aftertaste with a hint of hazelnut.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. A sweet cup of vanilla with a hint of toasty hazelnut.
This is one of the new teas from Angelina's. I don't know why, but when I read the description I started craving this tea. Maybe it's the cold, rainy weather outside. Anyway, this tea is nice. I was expecting more of a creamy vanilla flavor, but it's more of a milky caramel flavor. Very strong black tea base with a definite milkiness about it, like fresh milk had been added. I did add milk and sweetener, and it brought out some caramel hints. I think this will be a nice tea to enjoy on cold mornings this fall and winter!
-Dry blend has small grainy black tea leaves with large black tea leaves and twigs with a few white petals.
-Dry leaves smell lightly malty with a faint hint of milk. Tea liquor aroma is of strong black tea and warm creamy milk.
-Tea liquor is a cloudy very dark brown color.
-Extremely robust flavor with an almost bitter finish. Light milky caramel aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. Robust flavor with hints of creamy milk and sweet caramel.
My fave from Angelina's is the Scottish Caramel Pu-erh. I bet I'd like this one for days when I don't want to fuss with it. Mmm I am "on hiatus" but I think I'm visiting Angelina's with my tea group next weekend, and it would be rude not to buy something!
sipdown! (246) I wasn't expecting much from this after seeing terri's review. She passed on a little of this one for me to try. Fig teas always interest me, mostly because i know gracebtlb is on the look out for a great fig tea. This is not it grace! not unless you think figs = grape. because all i get from this one is grape…and that artificial grape flavour, not juicy green or purple grapes. not a bad tea, but not the tea it claims to be. :)
These comments refer to the 2006 Haiwan Ripe Tuo:
I enjoy tuo chas for the convenience factor and sometimes I use them to introduce someone to "real" pu'er (as opposed to the flavored loose pu'er sold by many companies). They are a bit of a novelty and most people new to pu'er enjoy them. This particular Haiwan tuo is a very satisfying traditional style ripe Pu'er with a robust, soothing flavor – thick, earthy and nutty. While I definitely prefer breaking off a chunk of a high quality aged cake, all in all this is a smooth and powerful shu which is also quite delicate. It's good enough that I'll probably reorder and try to keep it on hand.
The Here's Hoping Traveling Tea Box arrived yesterday! WOW, it's HUGE!
I immediately sat down with my laptop & 2 additional boxes. I put all the teas on my futon, (photo coming soon), & then made a list of all the teas, dividing them between the 3 boxes:
"No Thanks" went back into the original box. This is anything with artificial flavors, or just something I have no interest in, for one reason or another.
"Sample" I think that's pretty self-explanatory. These are teas that might be interesting to try once, but once sampled will most likely end up in the "No Thanks" box.
"This one is mine" Originally titled, "I'm keeping this sh*t!" I guess you know that those are the ones I'm keeping to drink after the box is back on it's way.
I'm at Tony's for most of the weekend, with the exception of leaving for part of tomorrow to go play a wedding. I brought several of the tea samples with me, & I included the fig formosa in the sampling category because I love figs, especially fresh figs, & I figured, "Why not". Unsweetened it is meh ;p
Sweetened, it tastes like grapejuice. There is oolong in there, but I'm not sure where. There are lots of flowers. Definitely going in the "no thanks" box.
Woot, the teabox arrived! it is quite a monster, but yeah, quite a bit I wasn't into either, but there was crazy amount of selection for sure.
Given the number of teas in the box (98), it seemed like the easiest way to handle them! It really is an amazing array of teas, with something for everybody!
This has to be the very same one I bought at Tin Roof Teas, even has the same name. Definitely tastes like grape juice, and doesn't scratch my oolong itch at all. But last week I had people over and three of them drank 96 ounces of this. I really hoped for lots of fig flavor, but I got grape Kool-Aid or Dimetapp vibe more than anything else.
