What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
|April 29, 2015
|I was excited about this, but it's actually pretty tart.. think sweet tart candies.. was just ok
|Favorite Summer Tea!
|March 16, 2015
|This was my family's favorite iced tea last summer, and I am THRILLED to be able to buy it in bulk this year.
|August 08, 2014
|This is without a doubt, my absolute favorite TRoT blend I've ever had, and I've been a customer for over 20 years!! It is so delicious- the flavor is so rich and surprising- the color is gorgeous. My children love it as well. We brew a pitcher every week!
|July 29, 2014
|Very refreshing! Even my 11-year-old nephew, who normally requires sugared drinks, is sold on it.
|So Refreshing
|June 08, 2014
|I just found my ice tea for the summer. I love ice tea and this one is so refreshing . The flavors are combined so well.
|My new second favorite!
|June 06, 2014
|But it's a VERY close second! Have always loved the Ginger Peach (iced), but this is fast becoming my go-to tea. I agree with the others: PLEASE sell it in bulk!
|May 13, 2014
|This is a new favorite. It's very berry and light.
|I never need wine again
|April 01, 2014
|Absolutely delicious!!!!
|February 17, 2014
|We recently tried this tea and we are hooked. It is delicious and fruity and works great as an iced tea so we love to make pitchers to drink from on the weekend. I do brew it a bit longer than the directions say to get a bit of a stronger brew but that's just our preference. Republic of Tea, please sell this in bulk on the site!
|The BEST tea ever
|November 12, 2013
|This tea is sooooooo good. I make it by two gallons at a time. It's delicious plain or with a little lemon and Stevia.
|Wonderful Taste!
|September 06, 2013
|Beautiful to look at and great-tasting! Very thirst-quenching.
|Hisbiscus Sangria Weak?
|September 03, 2013
|I made my first pot using 2 quarts of water and and 2 bags and let it brew for 5-7 minutes. I found it to be weak and added a little sweetner. Next time I will add 3 bag or let it steep longer.
|Tea Lover
|August 08, 2013
|OMG..the best...I added Limeade Frozen Concentrate with a cup and 1/2 of Sugar. It was so Refreshing over Ice!!
|Just Okay
|August 06, 2013
|This was my first iced tea from Republic of Tea and I was not so impressed. I still like this tea, but I was just not blown away by it. I felt like the taste is a little weak, I steeped it for longer than usual because I like a strong iced tea and I don't want my ice to dilute to much of it's flavor. it's just okay, but probably will not be repurchasing it.
|July 19, 2013
|The first time I made this, I used my ice tea maker. Big mistake, it was weak and just not very good. Second time, I used my tea kettle to make 2 quarts of it. Since the first bag was steeping while the tea kettle was warming up the second quart it had quite a bold flavor. This is the first hibiscus tea that I have tried and I'm quite impressed. Though I wish it was sold in larger quantities. I would very much like to purchase a large bag of these instead of a small container of 8.
|Not the Same as the old Hibiscus sangria
|July 11, 2013
|I use to love, and I do me LOVE the iced tea Hibiscus Sangria in the silk pouch from last year. Recently they have changed from 5 silk bags to 8 paper tea bags. Sadly it is not the same mix nor does it taste as good. The old Sangria was a beautiful red and very flavorful. Now it is a dingy brownish red and is lack luster in flavor. Please bring back the old tea!!!
|The most refreshing summer drink ever
|July 03, 2013
|Other than Water, this tea is my hands down favorite for rehydrating in the summer. Light, sweet, tart, and just tastes like summer all round. I also use it and the other hibiscus teas in flavoring my home brewed tibicos. You have to give this fantastic stuff a try. Without any sweetener added at all, it is like punch or koolaid, only a hundred times better.
|Such a pretty tea
|June 28, 2013
|This is a very refreshing tea and so much fun to drink because the color is so pretty. I do jazz it up with fruit to give it more flavor. Sometimes I give it a spot of sparkling water or white wine with a lime twist for an iced tea cocktail.
|Ok but weak flavor
|June 27, 2013
|The color is nice but the flavor is a bit weak. I used an extra bag and let it steep longer and it was ok but a bit sharp. I like it well enough to keep experimenting though.
|June 15, 2013
|This one was new to me It has a wonderful taste and it is so pretty. It is one I can sip all day.
|June 05, 2013
|good fruit taste. all natural. please keep it all natural
|May 26, 2013
|I do not like this tea at all. The blend changed this year. I think the previous blend of Sangria tea was much better. Please go back to the previous blend.
|Beautiful but weak
|May 17, 2013
|Loved the flavors that come through in this tea but it is a bit weak for my taste. It worked wonderfully when augmented with other fruity teas. The color is beautiful and I may order again.
|No flavor
|May 14, 2013
|I've made two different pitchers of this tea and both times they've had next to no flavor. The color is pretty but that's about it. Maybe the others didn't notice because they added extra stuff but tea should be good on it's own without extra sweeteners.
|May 08, 2013
|The fruity flavor of this tea really stands out. Great for the family.The strong color also makes drinking it quite fun, and it smells amazing!
|Best Summer Sip
|May 08, 2013
|My family and friends LOVE this tea. We brew it and add some honey and then mix it with 2 parts "tea" to 1 part apple juice! It's our favorite summer sip!
|Delicious and Beautiful
|March 17, 2013
|This tea is so delicious! And such a gorgeous color, too. I made a huge amount for my daughter's baby shower last summer, and put it in a large glass pitchers with citrus fruits cut up - a recipe, I believe from Republic of Tea. We poured it into mason jars, with a slice of orange, and vintage pink, paper, stripped straws. I wish I could enclose a photo! The flavor is so fruity - and tart too, so benefits from your sweetener of choice. LOVE THIS TEA!

Port Allen event demonstrates hearth methods
Hearth cooking instructor Gayle B. Smith scooped up a shovelful of hot, glowing red coals from the fireplace and told her cooking class audience, "This is your burner."
Smith, along with West Baton Rouge Museum employees Linda Collins and Tracy Flickinger, were demonstrating what Southerners would have cooked during the United States' Civil War of 1861-1865, what food stuffs would have been available and what recipes were used.
For a recent class on "A Battle for Food: Civil War Era Southern Recipe Books," the three women donned costumes appropriate to the era and demonstrated how to cook on coals on the hearth in the museum's kitchen, which is set up to reflect the 19th century. They prepared an apple pie (with no apples), potato soup, planked fish, squirrel stew, corn pone and collard greens. All the recipes came from Civil War-era cookbooks.
Smith, who said she has been cooking at the hearth for 18 years, learned the ancient art at Magnolia Mound Plantation in Baton Rouge. She has studied at open-hearth cooking schools in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, visited open-hearth kitchen programs in the South and in Canada, and been a guest cook at Oakley Plantation in St. Francisville and Hermann-Grima House in New Orleans,
Before the Civil War, wealthy Southern families enjoyed a variety of dishes which were usually prepared by slave cooks, who "were given only enough spices for that day's cooking," Smith said.
"Dinner, the big meal of the day, was eaten from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the afternoon pre-Civil War. Bowls went around the table. At night supper was leftovers. Breakfast could be salads, greens were not uncommon," Smith said.
Collins pointed out that the kitchen was separate from the "big house" because of the danger of fire to avoid the smells and heat from the kitchen.
Slaves "might be given sweet potatoes to put in coals at night," Smith said.
They also received regular allotments of molasses and of pork and corn or cornmeal, which were believed to give strength and muscle, she said.
"At the time of the Civil War, the slaves were gone. Who was cooking?" Smith asked her audience. "Some slaves were still around, but everyone in the South was on the same plane as far as cooking and eating. The small yeoman farmers and the people in the big house were all equal in eating, too."
Families in the North did not suffer the severe food shortages that those in the South did, Smith noted. Since most of the war was fought on Southern soil, it was Southerners' crops that were confiscated to feed troops.
Flickinger held up a catfish tied to a plank, which had been propped on the side of the fireplace hearth to cook.
"In south Louisiana you can fish," and that's what people often did to put food on the table, Collins said.
The cook would take "a fresh fish with the look of life in its eyes and place it on hard wood which had been soaked overnight," Smith said. "Planked fish is a big deal now in restaurants. Back in the day this was what you did to live."
As Collins untied the fish from the plank, she commented, "I'm not sure about the fish. You can never be sure about fish," if it has cooked enough to be save to eat.
People also ate collard greens, seasoning them with bacon, Smith said. "You might have pork from wild hogs and you ate anything from the garden the Union soldiers hadn't stolen."
They ate potato soup made with red potatoes and "if hungry, you'd go hunting," which perhaps meant squirrel stew for dinner.
"Everyone talked about eating bad beef, which didn't keep well," Smith said. And, "you can put eggs in the ashes on the hearth and bake them. You put down a layer of ashes and lay the eggs on it. Then, another layer of ashes, then hot coals.
"I've learned from experience the egg blows up if the hot coals touch it," she added.
The recipes the three women demonstrated were from "Civil War Recipes: Receipts from the Pages of Godey Lady's Book" and "Confederate Receipt Book: A Compilation of Over One Hundred Receipts Adapted to the Times."
Recipes usually didn't include measurements and those that offered some guidance were often vague.
For example, Smith asked, what is a measuring cup? She showed a variety of cups that might have been used by a cook in a mid-19th century kitchen. They ranged in size from a demitasse cup to a substantial tin cup.
Measuring spoons also present a similar problem for the modern cook trying to interpret the era's recipes, Smith said.
Gourds were turned into useful kitchen tools, Smith said, holding up a ladle gourd. "You also could have used gourds as cups and bowls or as funnels."
She also showed whisks made from broom corn and dogwood stems.
Various herbs and spices, some more valuable than others "because they came from far away," were used for flavoring dishes, Smith said. For example, rabbit soup or squirrel stew might be flavored with nutmeg, pepper, sweet marjoram and mace.
Smith and Flickinger also prepared the flat, coarse cornmeal cakes known as corn pone. "It was also called hoecakes because slaves sometimes put it on the blade of a hoe to cook," Smith said. "Pone was water and white cornmeal. At this time-frame white cornmeal was what was used. White corn was grown here."
Corn pone, which comes from the Indian word "apone," or "apan," meaning baked, was also known as ash cakes because it was baked in ashes.
Another version went by the name Johnny or Johny cake, which some have suggested is a derivation of the word "journey," according to "Around the Southern Table: Innovative Recipes Celebrating 300 Years of Eating and Drinking" by Sarah Belk (Galahad Books, 1991), Smith said.
"Each colony, each community, had its own versions and names, a tradition that faded as the iron kitchen range made all hearth cakes virtually obsolete .," wrote Karen Hess in historical notes and commentaries in "The Virginia House-wife" by Mary Randolph, a facsimile of the first edition, 1824, along with additional material from the 1825 and 1828 editions, published in 1984 by the University of South Carolina Press.
Class participants liked the corn pone, which was served with molasses, better than the "apple pie without apples" that Smith and Flickinger prepared from a recipe from the "Confederate Receipt Book: A Compilation of Over One Hundred Receipts, Adapted to the Times," with an introduction by E. Merton Coulter (The University of Georgia Press, 1960, 1989 printing).
The recipe calls for using a small bowl of "beaten biscuits," which were very hard, unsalted crackers.
"The recipe only says make sure the crackers aren't hard and to soak them, but doesn't say whether to use water or milk," Smith said as she broke white unsalted crackers into little crumbs.
It also says to "sweeten to taste" so Smith added a half-cup of sugar.
"Sugar usually was in the form of a cone and you snipped off what you needed, but they could have used sugar - house sugar - which is not brown or white, but honey-colored."
Collins added, "In Louisiana and Texas, people had plenty of sugar" even during the Civil War.
The recipe also says to add "some" butter so Smith decided to use about 2 tablespoons of melted butter. It was flavored with a "very little" nutmeg.
"It would have been baked in a tin in a preheated large Dutch oven with coals under and top of it so it was cooking as in an oven," Smith said. "But, you only can control the heat temperature by practice."
The consistency of the mock apple pie "looks like mush," Smith said, adding "I had my husband taste it. He couldn't tell what it was. It's more interesting than delicious."
Some class participants also liked the squirrel stew, which the three presenters made using an 1861 recipe for rabbit soup.
The original recipe from the pages of Godey's Lady's book says to strain the soup into a tureen and add the grated yolks of six hard-boiled eggs and some croutons.
"Usually presentation was a big deal" at the tables of pre-Civil War plantation homes, Smith said. "But at this time, the big house was probably not concerned about it, only in not starving."

Life is busy and stressful but yoga can help give you peace of mind, health, strength and support. We talked about this and much more when I was recently invited as a guest on Steve Yabsley's lunchtime radio programme. So if you have 20 minutes, have a listen by pressing the play button below.

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington is fundraising for a new exhibition -
Yoga: The art of transformation.
It is their first crowd funded exhibition, with the primary exhibition going ahead but crowd funding providing additional activities. It promises to provide an exhibition about the visual history of yoga with artefacts illustrating its different forms, some dating back to the 3rd century.
Visit the Yoga: The art of transformation link here >
Or read the news article about crowd funding by following the link here >
Below is a link to an interesting article providing a backstory to Yoga and how it has emerged in the current more physical form that we find it in this country.
It focuses purely on the physical teachings of Yoga however this if you have every practiced much Yoga you'll soon realise that this is just the tip of the iceburg. Yoga when taught well, skillfully uses body and breath to develop a still mind, and also offers a wealth of knowledge for self-development and wellbring through key texts such as Patanjali's Yoga Sutra (2000 years prior to this). The physicality and postures have emerged with influences from western culture and some classes this is more obvious than others. Some interesting video clips too.
Also see this article I wrote last year covering a related aspect
Back to homepage
Yoga practitioners often ascribe ancient traditions to the practice of yoga. And it is true, there is an ancient tradition of yoga well documented over thousands of years.
BUT - the physical practice of yoga perhaps isn't as ancient as we think. In any typical western yoga class, we do yoga postures, putting outselves in all sorts of twists, bends and sometimes inversions. We stay there, trying to focus on our breathing and settle our minds. But this is a curious thing...
The history of modern physical yoga postures isn't perhaps what we think. Possibly only originating from 100 years ago when gymnastics and yoga met in India. It is true, some of the postures can be found in a text dating from around the 14th Century, but many of the postures we practice in a class today are perhaps relatively modern. Some claim that the Yogis noticed how popular gymnastics was and how appealing the physical form was and cleverly incorporated some of the ideas blending them with yoga practices to encourage people to give it a go.
Interesting, and there is some credible evidence to suggest it is true. But does it really make any difference if it is 100 or 10,000 years old? Surely what matters is that if you give it a go, it should leave you feeling better and over time help support your health and life. It should stand on its own two-feet. Does it need the justification of some ancient authenticity?
Mark Singleton authored the book "Yoga Body. The origins of modern posture practice" by Oxford University Press. It depicts the rising of the physical form of yoga that we see in most yoga classes in the west. And it tries to provide some context about where it came from. He provides compelling explainations challenging some of the apparent myths of where this ancient and timeless practice originates.
A good blog post providing more context about Mark's book and modern yoga practice is here.
But hopefully it doesn't matter if it is authentically ancient or not. Yoga can still be experienced through your posture practice without the addition of romantic origins. Your practice should help you develop strength and stability, physically and mentally, and connect with yourself and the world around you. Over time you should start to notice that you are more compassionate, more self-aware and less selfish that will ultimately benefit those around you. Your practice helps you develop space for self-enquiry. Yes and along the way you may find yourself fitter, stronger, leaner and more toned.
So maybe a yoga class isn't an ancient tradition, but it sure does help you feel better about things and is a great support in life.

Excerpt: CHAPTER III LEE BECOMES A MORMON PER I moved to Luck Creek I was a fortunate man and accumulated property very fast. I look back to those days with pleasure. I had a large house and I gave permission to all sorts of people to come there and preach. Methodists, Baptists, Campbellites, and Mormons all preached there when they desired to do so. In 1837 a man by the name of King, from Indiana, passed by, or came to my place, on his way to Missouri to join the Mormons. He had been a New Light, or Campbellite preacher. I invited him to stay at my place until the next spring. I gave him provisions for his family, and he consented to and did stay with me some time. Soon after that there was a Methodist meeting at my house. After the Methodist services were through I invited King to speak. He talked about half an hour on the first principles of the gospel as taught by Christ and his apostles, denouncing all other doctrines as spurious. This put an end to other denominations preaching in my house. That was the first sermon I ever heard concerning Mormonism. The winter before, two elders, Durphyand Peter Dustan, stayed a few days with Hanf...

How do you know if there's a tiger shark swimming nearby if you can't see it?
I was asking myself this very question on an underwater photography documentary expedition to the Western Philippines a few years ago. It didn't take very long to start seeing the clues.
As a photographer, it's easy to get caught up in the quality of your gear. Are you outfitted with a high resolution, full-frame sensor? At what f-stop does the MTF curve of your lens peak? Can you record noise-free images at high ISO levels? How many RAW shots can your camera take before the buffer fills?

Chocolat Restaurant has secretly been on my list of restaurants to go to. So when I read it was on the Harlem's Restaurant Week list, I thought "hey perfect time to try it." The good news is, it most certainly is on the list. The not so good news is, I went on a packed Saturday night and the Restaurant Week list wasn't offered at the time. Bummer! Never the less, walking into the restaurant I really liked the set up. It was very intimate and quaint. They also had a private room where they were hosting a private celebration. So if you are looking to host a small gathering, they have a lounge for those purposes. Also, they offer (free) Chocolat mint chocolates, so make sure you indulge on that sweet treat.
I had the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Mac and Cheese and tried the Grilled Scottish Salmon which were great. I also tried the Beef Short Rib which was delicious. It was soft , pulled apart easily and melted in your mouth. I would definitely suggest the Beef Short Rib.
Chocolat is also a great place for brunch. Their Sunday brunch has great options and great music. It's perfect for a nice relaxing Sunday meal. I had the red velvet pancakes and fried chicken. The portion size was perfect, the pancakes were sweet and the fried chicken were crispy and delicious.
Just a tip for this restaurant, make a reservation and arrive on time.

Odds for deadly skin cancer rise more than fourfold with some devices, research shows
THURSDAY, May 27 (HealthDay News) -- People who use tanning beds to keep that year-round glow are dramatically increasing their risk for developing melanoma, the deadliest of skin cancers, a new study finds.
In fact, the more you tan and the longer you tan, the more the risk increases, researchers noted.
"We found the risk of melanoma was 74 percent higher in persons who tanned indoors than in persons who had not," said lead researcher DeAnn Lazovich, an associate professor at the division of epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota.
"We also found that people who tanned indoors a lot were 2.5 to 3 times more likely to develop melanoma than people who had never tanned indoors," she added. In the context of the study, "a lot" of indoor tanning meant a total of at least 50 hours of tanning bed exposure, or more than 100 sessions, or at least 10 years of regular tanning bed use.
The report is published in the May 27 issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
For the study, Lazovich's team collected data on melanoma cases in Minnesota from 2004 through 2007. The researchers also conducted interviews and had patients complete questionnaires about indoor tanning, including the devices used, when the person began tanning and for how long.
The researchers found that among 1,167 people with melanoma, almost two-thirds (63 percent) had used tanning beds. Among those who used tanning beds, the risk for developing melanoma rose 74 percent, Lazovich's group found.
The risk for melanoma was significant whether the tanning beds used both UVA and UVB rays or UVA rays only. For beds using UVA rays, the risk of melanoma was increased 4.4-fold.
"What is remarkable about our results are that they are very consistent," Lazovich said. "We found these relat

GA campaign fails to erode party's base
Impressive performance shows MIM is no pushover
MIM emerges king-maker with its tacit support to Congress
HYDERABAD: Nothing succeeds like success. The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has proved this yet again. Its impressive performance at the hustings showed that it is no pushover.
The no-holds-barred campaign by the four-party Mahakutami against the Majlis failed to cut ice with the electorate. In fact, it helped the party consolidate its vote bank.
The spirited campaign by Siasat Editor, Zahid Ali Khan, pepped up the electioneering. But it didn't erode the Majlis base.
His poll plank that 'people want a change' also proved wrong.
The confusion and dilemma that prevailed among the Muslims about whom to vote seemed to have disappeared on the polling day and the community rallied solidly behind the Majlis.
The party has not just retained the Hyderabad Parliament seat and improved its tally from five to seven in the State legislature, it has emerged as a king-maker by extending tacit support to the Congress.
It has helped transfer the Muslim votes en bloc to the Congress in several pockets of Telangana and coastal Andhra. Majlis president, Asaduddin Owaisi, himself campaigned in several Muslim-populated towns of the State in favour of Congress. His argument that a vote to Telugu Desam would lead to formation of BJP government at the Centre seemed to click with the community.
"We have emerged as the third force in the State. By their flip-flops and opportunistic alliances other parties have lost credibility. We will play a constructive role in the Assembly," says Mr. Asaduddin.
He sees a bigger role for the Majlis in the days to come. He wants to broaden the base of the party with inclusion of BCs and Dalits.
Having bagged seven Assembly seats, the party would have greater say in the city affairs.
Housing and employment are the two important issues it would like to address. In Parliament, Mr. Asaduddin wants to ensure implementation of the Sachar Committee recommendations.
Would he like an image makeover for the Majlis? "No, we are happy with the image we have." In the next breath, he remarks, "How can I help if the media has a dogmatic image of Majlis? I don't want to have a page three image," he quips.
Mr. Asaduddin sounds bitter about the negative campaign by a section of the press, particularly the Urdu newspapers. The media almost 'wrote off' Majlis. "Going by media reports, we shouldn't have won. But the electorate proved everyone wrong," he says.
Younger hands
The first-time voters, he says, plumped for the party as it is now in younger hands. So are the educated sections which realised that the community's development couldn't be brought about by the 'so-called' secular parties.

Dialog Telekom to Deploy Ten Solar and Wind-Powered Base Stations in Sri Lanka
is working with Dialog Telekom to deploy ten solar and wind-powered base
stations in
trial, which will deploy five off-grid and five on-grid base stations, has
seen two sites go live this month and a further eight sites will go live in
March and April this year. The goal of the trial is to use a number of
different scenarios with equipment from eight different vendors to demonstrate
the range of options available and the commercial viability of rolling out
mobile networks using renewable forms of energy.
The base stations, which rely on a sophisticated methodology for
calculating the optimum mix between solar and wind technology, such as the
size of the wind turbine or solar panels, will save up to 109 thousand litres
of diesel per annum and cut carbon emission by up to 294 tonnes per annum. Up
to now, off-grid base stations have primarily been powered by generators
running on diesel fuel, which is increasingly expensive, generates carbon
dioxide emissions, and can be difficult to transport to remote locations.
There are also issues with the reliability of the electricity grid in
during downtime, with renewable energy.
"Being able to utilise practical, cost effective and renewable sources of
power is crucial for operators wanting to provide a broad range of mobile
coverage, over vast rural areas, far beyond the reach of national electricity
grids," said
Telekom, as part of the GSMA's Green Power for Mobile programme, has used a
number of different scenarios to prove to the industry that renewable energy
is a real and viable alternative to on-grid and generator power."
The trial will assess the plethora of renewable energy providers in the
marketplace today, further demonstrating the viability of non-traditional
forms of power. The GSMA's Development Fund, who initiated the Green Power for
Mobile programme, will make the results from the trial public later this year.
The eight top-tier vendors chosen to provide the technology for the trial
include BP Solar for solar panels, Southwest Windpower, Bergey Windpower,
Proven Energy and Kestrel for wind turbines, PowerOasis for power controllers
and remote monitoring technology, and Exide Technologies and BYD for
"We have consistently striven to extend modern technology access to rural
communities and thereby enrich lives," said Dr.
Operating Officer of TM International Berhad and Group Chief Executive of
Dialog Telekom PLC. "Social and environmental responsibilities matter to
Dialog Telekom as much as economic performance, and this trial epitomises this
commitment to integrate sustainability into our operations."
commented: "TMI is delighted to be associated with the GSMA in pioneering this
initiative in collaboration with our Sri Lankan operation, Dialog Telekom PLC.
We are confident this much-needed programme will enable the industry at large
to move the green power debate from hype to reality, ensuring that a renewable
energy agenda can present a pragmatic business case to connect the
The GSMA's Green Power for Mobile programme, launched last year, is backed
by 25 mobile operators and has built up a deep pool of expertise in selecting
the ideal combination of renewable energy sources to suit local conditions.
The programme aims to help the mobile industry to take advantage of renewable
energy to power 118,000 new and existing off-grid base stations in developing
countries by 2012. Today less than 2,000 base stations worldwide are powered
by renewable energy sources.
About the GSMA
The GSMA represents the interests of the worldwide mobile communications
industry. Spanning 219 countries, the GSMA unites more than 750 of the
world's mobile operators, as well as 200 companies in the broader mobile
ecosystem, including handset makers, software companies, equipment providers,
Internet companies, and media and entertainment organisations. The GSMA is
focused on innovating, incubating and creating new opportunities for its
membership, all with the end goal of driving the growth of the mobile

Welcome to the Russian River!
The Russian River is a vacation destination surrounded by ancient redwoods in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country just a few miles from the spectacular Sonoma Coast. The Russian River offers fine restaurants, lodging, wineries, activities, boutique stores, farmers markets and joins small eclectic towns including Guerneville, Forestville, Monte Rio, Rio Nido, and Duncans Mills. The Russian River meets the Bohemian Highway a few miles from Occidental and Freestone and joins the Pacific Ocean at Jenner, just North of Bodega Bay.
The Russian River Chamber of Commerce produces three major events for our community every year, which include the Stumptown Daze Parade, Guerneville July 4th Fireworks, and the Holiday Parade of Lights. While the chamber produces other small events as well, these three large community events are free to the public, and we believe they benefit our community by bringing residents and tourists together to enjoy and celebrate our area.

+1 to everything that polyglot has said.
My own view is that you have to get rid of all haze, fungus, finger smudges etc that might cause a reduction in contrast. Even if the scene isn't high-contrast, it will just take the edge off every image you make if it is there. If you want to take hazy pics of models, then you can apply vaseline to a filter which can be easily removed afterwards. Lens hoods help a great deal if the issue is direct light striking the front lens element. But it will help nothing if the issue is internal flare or ghosting, especially when the sun is behind the camera. I should add, I own a lot of Mamiya MF gear, but no TLR (apart from a Yashica D). So my comment is generic, not related to your particular lens. I'd be very, very surprised if the TLR lenses are so badly coated that the issue is the coating rather than something on the elements. But as polyglot has said, 12 stops DR is stretching it, even for a state of the art lens and film combination. If the highest and lowest values are adjacent in the image, then you can expect difficulty to some degree. And if you insist on photographing every difficult scene what that same camera despite knowing better, then you obviously have to live with the consequences.

What happens now?
I am on my last day of DB15, what happens now? do i pick a new program, or does the system advise me what to do next?by: juju
by: andysmith
You should see a video after you complete DB15 giving you some options.
However, the video will tell you that you can certainly stay on DB15 if you want but you will probably want to try something new. DailyBurn recommends programs for you based on your profile, but you can select any program that is interesting to you and try it... And if you don't like it you can pick another one!
It will auto-roll over unless you pick another workout. Good luck!
Thanks, I didn't get a video, my program just rolled over and started again. Maybe because I only did 14 of the 15 videos

Wimbledon 2012: Andy Murray v Marin Cilic as it happened
Andy Murray beats Marin Cilic in straight sets to reach his fifth straight quarter-final at Wimbledon.

As it happened
That's me done on this match, but I'll be back for the quarter-final match between Serena Williams and Petra Kvitova as quick as you can say "Del Potro's toast"...
Andy Murray, speaking to BBC TV's Garry Richardson: "It was quite a tough match to analyse because it was very bitty. We were on and off the court. Last night, I was in a good position. Cilic started well today - he was hitting the ball cleaner. But I served well in the third set, especially."
Richard Krajicek , BBC Radio 5 live
"After the rain break Murray came out firing - if he plays like this nobody will stop him. Not Federer or Djokovic."
Andy Murray on court gate: "I don't care which court I play on. It makes no difference, but if you play on Centre with the roof you know you'll get your match in. But I don't deserve to play every match on Centre."
From James Stevenson on Twitter: "Murray seems to have stepped up a gear today. Serving well and just about getting everything else spot on too."
GAME, SET AND MATCH - Murray 7-5 6-2 6-3 Cilic
Murray sets up three match-points with a booming ace down the middle and the Scot is through to the quarter-finals as Cilic scoops a backhand into the bottom of the net. Fifth straight year Murray has reached the last eight, he plays either David Ferrer or Juan Martin del Potro next, Ferrer waltzing that one at the moment.
*Murray 7-5 6-2 5-3 Cilic
Cilic playing some of his best tennis now as the match draws to a close and Murray can't deal with the heat of that service game, Cilic holding to love...
Murray 7-5 6-2 5-2 Cilic*
... straightforward hold for Murray, sealed with an inside-out forehand winner, Cilic will have to serve to stay alive...
Been scratching your head over how Wimbledon will get itself ready for the Olympics, just 20 days after the end of the Championships? Well, scratch no more. Let London 2012 director of sport Debbie Jevans and senior groundsman Neil Stubley enlighten you.
Miles Maclagan , BBC Sport analyst
"Cilic doesn't have the skills at the net to finish the points. Two sets and a break, you can't see them being out here for too much longer."
*Murray 7-5 6-2 4-2 Cilic
I do apologise, I've been saying Murray won the second set 5-2 for the last few entries - Cilic didn't give up, I just naused up. Three break-points for Murray, he's stomping all over Cilic now, although Cilic does well to save two of them. And that's splendid from Cilic, teeing off with a backhand winner down the line. Cilic with a forehand winner to save a fourth break-point and the Croatian is fighting to the death here, you have to credit him for that.
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"Murray isn't having to do an awful lot to break. He's just doing what he does well - getting the ball back, moving it around - and waiting for the mistake."
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"This is as good as it gets from Murray. For me, he's playing like he did in the closing games of the Davydenko match."
Murray 7-5 6-2 4-1 Cilic*
Murray pulls out a couple of plums to move into a 30-0 lead and very nearly pulls off a forehand round the net post from behind the baseline. Easy hold, Cilic being bullied out there. They should stick Murray on Court One every match, he seems to like it out there...
*Murray 7-5 6-2 3-1 Cilic
Cilic outlasted in a lengthy baseline rally, the forehand a problem again, and Murray has two break-points. And you have to say that's magnificent from Murray - or you could describe it in any manner you like - the number four seed chasing that ball down and whipping a forehand winner down the line.
From Nadim Naaman, in Southfields, via text on 81111: "Let's end this nonsense about which court Murray should be on - most probably from folk who don't follow tennis for the other fifty weeks of the year. Murray himself certainly hasn't complained, and neither do Federer and Djokovic when they play on Court 1. Hardly an outside court, is it?"
From Wimbledon chief executive Richard Lewis on BBC Radio 5 live: "The media saying that the Murray game could have been moved last night - it's not as easy as that. The decision about moving games around is very complex. It's about what is best for the Championships to get to a conclusion."
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"Cilic is having to play great points just to stay in the match at the moment. That's the problem for him. He's not getting many freebies, is he?"
Murray 7-5 6-2 2-1 Cilic*
Another iffy drop-shot from Murray - not exactly a percentage shot - but the British number one makes it 40-15 with a booming ace down the middle before securing the game with another, Cilic gambling and shuffling out wide.
*Murray 7-5 6-2 1-1 Cilic
On we plough on Court One, Murray moving into a 0-30 lead as Cilic hoicks another forehand wide. Not sure Murray needed to play that drop-shot, certainly not into the net, and that's a peach from Cilic, a little bunt that leaves the Scot rooted to the baseline. Cilic looks a bit yippy on his forehand, all over the place with that one, but that's better, the Croatian covering the net and putting away a solid cross-court volley. However, Cilic nets with a forehand but he does eventually extricate himself from a sticky situation.
They're taking a break on Court One and seeing what the weather will do. Not sure it's going anywhere, might as well play on. No, can't be bothered...
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"Great play from Murray to wrap up that second set. He's been aggressive, he's moving Cilic around the court and he's going for shots. He's not just pushing the ball around the court and waiting for a mistake."
I have been asked to say this: At the conclusion of Andy Murray's match with Marin Cilic - whenever that might be - our man will quiz Andy for his regular column. If you'd like to pose a question - quirkier and more colourful, the better, although nothing blue - tweet or text us using #askandy and we'll pick the best.

"Murray's serve was awesome when he was down on the big points."
BBC TV commentator Simon Reed: "Cilic is one out of eight on break points. He hasn't had a chance!"
Murray 7-5 6-2 1-0 Cilic*
Murray finds the net with an inside-out forehand for 15-30 before Cilic steps in and slam-dunks a forehand for two break-points. Murray saves one with a thunderclap first serve and the second with another beefy delivery out wide. Cilic hits the deck only for Murray's lob to land miles long but Murray saves a third break-point with an ace. Cilic hooks back a backhand he had no right getting back and Murray saves a fourth break-point with yet another ace... tremendous forehand from Murray saves the day, Murray's strapped them on and got them firmly in place. Brollies going up...
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"Murray's not an easy guy to pin back. Cilic will be more concerned with just getting the ball back in play at the moment. Cilic is not going to beat Murray at the back of the court. He's got to use his all-court game."
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"When you see Murray running so much around the court, it sends out a message to the opponent, that you'd better hit the corners or the ball's coming back. It adds to the pressure to make that backhand or forehand a little bit more special."
From Anthony Macpherson on Twitter: "What's all this about Murray preferential treatment? Let the fella play, regardless of court. The whole conversation's embarrassing."
GAME AND SECOND SET - *Murray 7-5 6-2 Cilic
Cute from Murray at the net, luring Cilic in with a knifed drop-shot before putting him away with a rinky-dinky lob. Cilic finds a slick second serve that Murray can only hook wide before the Croatian dredges up a decent forehand from the recesses of his memory...
Smelly forehand to follow before Murray misses with an attempted pass down the line. Cilic has Murray scurrying behind the baseline before sticking away the overhead before Cilic's forehand misfires again - sits up like a lollipop and Murray climbs into a backhand winner. A laced cross-court forehand from Murray gives him the advantage and Cilic finds the net with a tame backhand to hand the Scot the set... raining...
Murray 7-5 5-2 Cilic*
The Middletons in the Royal Box, parents of Kate. Commoners, obviously. Murray to serve and here he is stepping in and putting away the forehand winner. Murray with a spunky serve out wide, 132mph, before Cilic shovels a backhand long. Cilic sizes up a second serve and sprays a forehand long and wide, that's been his Achilles heel this match.
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"People ask why Murray wasn't on Centre Court. But you've got to be fair. It's not a tournament just for British players. You've got to give other players the chance to play on Centre Court. Juan Martin del Potro is a US Open champion, and I suppose you could say he's got a better record than Murray. He's a Grand Slam champion."
Murray and Cilic are back out, we should have some play in a minute... should... saying that, the punters are swaddled up to the nines, looks horrible out there...
From Helen Barnes on Twitter: "How much preferential treatment should Murray receive? Home advantage should be enough (please NO bending rules - embarrassing)."
The bad news is it's coming down like golf balls. There is no good news. We'll be back when - and if - it ceases.
Goran Ivanisevic , BBC Sport, 2001 Wimbledon champion
"I don't agree that [Murray] should be on Centre Court, everybody should play at least one match on court one. It is a beautiful court. "
Cilic it was who made the request to the umpire and that's fair enough, any rain on grass makes it like a skating rink. However - and there is always a however - why exactly they haven't dragged the covers on is anyone's guess... lobbing it down now, here they come...
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"I think Murray would be happy to carry on. He wants to get that second set under his belt."
BBC TV weather forecaster Carol Kirkwood: "The forecast today is rather cloudy and rather damp. As we go through the afternoon, it's looking rather wet. That rain will be mostly light and patchy, but later on it's likely to turn heavy. Even into the evening, we could have heavy rain. But at least tomorrow afternoon, it's looking that bit brighter."
*Murray 7-5 4-2 Cilic
Cilic has now lost six of the last seven games, he needs a foothold in this set... Cilic with a forehand winner before Murray hooks a backhand wide. Murray sprays a backhand long but makes it 40-15 with a whipped forehand winner. Bit of tit and a bit of tat at the net, which ends with Clic putting away another forehand winner... play suspended...
Murray 7-5 4-1 Cilic*
... Murray wins that one point on serve, as the rain continues to fall...
While we've got covers on Centre Court, we've got play on Court One...
... activity in the crowd on Court One, which means we've got some rain, they could be off before they've even come on...
Light and Tuneful on your television - that's what the Wimbledon theme tune is actually called (educate and inform), players are out on court, Andy Murray looking like his face has only minutes ago left his pillow. Starting to rain, according to weatherwoman Carol Kirkwood, which, frankly, is a ruddy nightmare.
Morning all. As a new dawn breaks, a new text commentator emerges: this is Ben Dirs, not Tom Fordyce. Fordyce is spending this warm summer day indoors, writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg. Murray and Cilic due on court in five minutes, and it's actually quite clammy outside, all covers are off.
Announcement over the public address system: "Rain expected to be intermittent, blah blah blah, equally hanging around, we'll start when we can blah blah..." Inconclusive.
From Anonymous (out yourself, man) via text on 81111: "The irony about one of the 'Mury' lads is that he's Cambridge educated - he was as bad a centre forward as he is a speller."
From John in London, via text on 81111: "If Murray doesn't get out again today it starts to negate the effects of Cilic's five-setter. Meanwhile, Fed is through and Novak will get through nicely today under the roof."
Stat attack: Aces - Murray 5-4 Cilic; Double faults - Murray 1-1 Cilic; 1st serves in - Murray 65%-63% Cilic; 1st serve points won - Murray 76%-69% Cilic; Fastest serve - Murray 130mph-126mph Cilic; Av 1st serve speed - Murray 114mph-115mph Cilic; Winners - Murray 14-14 Cilic; Unforced errors - Murray 9-12 Cilic; Total points - Murray 42-55 Cilic.
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"Murray's a set up and a break against someone of Cilic's class. That's a good day at the office in these conditions against an opponent who must be feeling the effects of his last match."
Umbrellas sprout all around like multi-coloured mushrooms. With that dreary forecast earlier we've probably done well to get an hour and nine minutes of tennis in. Anyone for cards?
Murray* 7-5 3-1 Cilic
Smashing return of serve from Murray - Cilic in all sorts of bother off his serve now, moving with all the grace of a bulldozer. The Croat will pull a forehand wide, and that's the break - but is that rain in the air too?
Murray 7-5 2-1 Cilic*
Ole! 125mph ace out wide from Murray. Rain is imminent, I'm told. It's summer 2012 - tell me something new.
Goran Ivanisevic , BBC Sport, 2001 Wimbledon champion
"This is not the way he can beat Andy, he doesn't feel comfortable coming to the net, he seems scared. I don't know why so many tall players don't like coming forward to the net that much."
Murray* 7-5 1-1 Cilic
Horror-show from Cilic as he comes to the net, only to slap the world's easiest volley into the net. No natural with the volleys, Marin. Murray foxed by a ball that spits up off the baseline as if off a stray stone, and then Cilic - BANG! opens up his body to crash a forehand winner cross-court.
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"In the two services games that Cilic lost in that first set, Murray didn't have to do an awful lot. If your opponent gives it to you, then you take it. It wasn't the prettiest set, the conditions are tough. There's no question that Murray has to go after the Cilic forehand."
From Angus in London, via text on 81111: "Stu, if they had 'Andy' on their shirts nobody would be taking pictures."
Murray 7-5 1-0 Cilic*
There's a nun in the crowd there. What's that? It doesn't look like fancy dress to me - lots of nuns drink pints of lager. With stubble. Murray using that drop-shot with some success now, and the crowd are awake from their earlier frozen-toed slumbers.
Richard Krajicek , BBC Radio 5 live
"Murray looks dangerous when he comes to the net and he can also hit winners from the baseline. But both players are still struggling a little bit and there is definitely more to come from them."
GAME AND FIRST SET - Murray* 7-5 Cilic
Now then. Cilic lumbers to the net with telegraphed intent, and Murray will loop a lob into unreachable areas. Cilic wobbling now, crashing a backhand long, the crowd yelling, Murray narrowing his eyes at set point - Cilic off balance, flaying a forehand... wide!
From Stu in Edinburgh, via text on 81111: "I keep seeing pictures of those 4 guys with 'M U R Y' on their T-shirts. Why didn't they go for A N D Y?! Not going to get any medals in the spelling Olympics."
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"Murray is so good on the counter. He reads the game so well. His movement is so good."
Murray 6-5 Cilic*
Great defensive tennis from Murray - Cilic's flashing forehands have him chasing with frantic footwork, but he's there every time to float back backhand slices until the Croatian crumbled. Rammo on Henman Hill; Mexican wave around Court No.1, probably to help the spectators ward off hypothermia.
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"Neither player really clicking with their first serve yet."
Murray* 5-5 Cilic
Murray's ladyfriend Kim Sears there court-side, sporting an austere black trenchcoat like a Bulgarian espionage agent. Clubbing exchange of backhands at the baseline, Murray going long and grimacing in self-admonishing fury. All not well in the Briton's brainbox at present.
Richard Krajicek , BBC Radio 5 live
"Federer is looking good but I think Andy Murray will win this year's title"
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"I spoke to Bob Brett (Cilic's coach) about Murray's game against Marcos Baghdatis in the last round. One of the things I noticed was that Baghdatis didn't put anything away. Murray kept coming back into the rallies. I told him: 'That's what you need to get Cilic to make sure he does - put chances away.'"
Murray 5-4 Cilic*
Both players struggling with the wind out there - it's swirling, blustering. Murray making errors now too - five unforced ones so far, a forehand pulled way long, but fortunately for him his opponent is battling the same malaise - seven unforced errors from the big lad, and Murra will return from the change-over knowing a break will give him the set.
Goran Ivanisevic , BBC Sport, 2001 Wimbledon champion
"He was pretty pumped (Cilic) before the match and he knows he has to play better than last game and be more aggressive. It's a miracle seeing Cilic volleying. I have now seen everything."
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"The conditions are funny. You can try to hit through the wind and end up over-hitting the ball."
Murray* 4-4 Cilic
Ivan Lendl there in his favourite shades/anorak combo. Few men could pull it off; the former world number one is one of them. Serve dominating in these early exchanges - just 27 minutes gone, and these two are still feeling each other out.
Murray 4-3 Cilic*
The winner of this match will face David Ferrer or Juan Martin del Potro in the quarter-finals. Cilic, another giant of a man, crouches like a giraffe at a water-hole as Murray serves - easy hold, the set yet to take flight. Tension thick in the chilly air.
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"If Cilic loses this match, he can blame me, because I gave him a hit for an hour yesterday. I had a chat with his coach Bob Brett as well. We were talking about how Andy's second serve is weaker and how Cilic needs to attack that."
Murray* 3-3 Cilic
Murray scampering and scrapping, but that forehand will... no, just wide, and Cilic holds again. The rain holding off, for now, even as red-nosed spectators pull on anoraks and cast intimidated glances at the impenetrable grey clouds up above.
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"Murray hasn't got a big second serve but he's been backing it up well so far during this championship."
Murray 3-2 Cilic*
124mph ace from Murray to follow a whipping cross-court forehand winner from the very toppermost of draws. Groans from the crowd, as he double-faults, that would be more appropriate on hearing of the cancellation of the entire tournament, but another sizzler out wide see him seal the game.
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"I think it helps Murray to have someone around such as Ivan Lendl, who has the Grand Slam titles and was such an innovator in his day - working with nutritionists and on training methods, always looking for the edge. But we know how good Murray is. Everyone talks about getting his mental side right, and maybe refining the tactics at the same time. That's all that's between Murray and I'd say several Grand Slam titles."
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"That was a sloppy service game from Cilic - getting a break and then giving it away with three forehand errors."
Murray* 2-2 Cilic
Pushed double-fault from Cilic, the first of the match, and Murray will have his first break points of the match. First serve pummelled well wide, but Murray is under the cosh on the second and slices a defensive forehand into the net. Dear oh dear - easy forehand pulled into the tramlines from the no.16 seed, and Murray has stolen the break back with eagle-eyed alactrity.
Murray 1-2 Cilic*
Is it raining? Maybe just a little dampness in the air, the sort you experience when walking past an open bathroom door after someone's been showering. Better from Murray, slicing in one of those trademark backhand drop-shots that dies on the turf before his opponent can get anywhere close.
John Lloyd , BBC Sport
"I think the key for Murray is to get Cilic on the run. That's the Cilic weakness. He's not very quick over the first couple of steps."
Murray* 0-2 Cilic
Cilic has matched his best ever display at Wimbledon by reaching the fourth round. Not that it's been easy - his third round, five set win over Sam Querrey was, at five hours 31 minutes, the second longest singles match in Wimbledon history. Although still only half as long as the Isner-Mahut madness of two summers ago. The Croatian holds easily with a forehand slapped into Murray's backhand corner.
Pat Cash , BBC Sport
"I think the fact that it's harder to hit winners will favour Marin Cilic. When Andy can't hit winners, he gets into a negative state of mind."
Murray 0-1 Cilic*
People have got gloves on in the crowd. And not just calfskin ones to match their clutch-bags - actual woolly gloves. Cilic piling into Murray with long-limbed langour, Murray tugging a feeble forehand into the net - good Lord, he's been broken in his very first service game.
From Chris Doherty on Twitter: "If all the players say they love playing on grass and its their favourite surface, where aren't there more tournaments on it?"
Augury for the optimists: of the six previous meetings between these two, Murray won five of them. Including the sole previous match on grass. One for the pessimists: Cilic is unbeaten this year on grass, having won Queen's a fortnight ago. Albeit after Nalbandiangate. Bandygate.
Bloke there in a plastic Union flag bowler hat, and a nylon McEnroe-style wig underneath it to boot. And a man in a tiger outfit. In for a penny. Murray aiming to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the fifth successive year.
I can see Andy Murray and Marin Cilic in the corridor that leads from the locker-room to court - shall we?
Talking of which, the forecast isn't great in south-west London this afternoon - 70% chance of rain. Or it'll rain 70% of the time. 70% of south-west London will get rained on. I'll confess I'm not entirely sure - there was definitely a 70% in there somewhere, I could swear...
No roof today for Andy Murray, and no Cinderella-style dash to beat the clock tower's chimes - we're on No.1 Court, and if the weather and light want to monkey around with us, monkey with us they will.
