I like the way Rails promotes best practices and provides a unified way of web development. I'm interested in learning how it could help me bring what I know together to make better websites/web apps. I'm not a DBA, but I do a lot of basic database tasks at work. Ruby is a lot nicer to work with than SQL. :)
I don't necessarily need help, but I'm currently studying Rails online, at Tealeaf Academy (http://www.gotealeaf.com). I'm working on a Reddit clone, called 'Post-it.' Here's the Repo: https://github.com/XiaoA/post-it
Besides Tealeaf's online open bookshelf, at https://www.gotealeaf.com/books, sites like http://www.railstutorial.org and Ruby Monk have been helpful. I spend a lot of my time now looking through the documentation at: http://ruby-doc.org/ http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ http://api.rubyonrails.org/
I'm still one myself, but no matter what, try to learn something new every day, and besides working on projects, it's a good idea just to open up irb and experiment. Learning should be fun.
I'm open to almost any place. If I had to pick a favorite coffee shop, I'd probably choose One More Cup, at 75th and Waldo.
I currently work in Ed Tech at UMKC. I've been making websites, mostly for fun, since about 1996. I have a lot of scattered knowledge (html, css, js, sql), but also a lot of gaps in my knowledge. I'm interested in learning more about web development.
I can tell tell this is a great community. Looking forward to the next meetup.

1995-04-08 Julio Cesar Chavez w pts 12 Giovanni Parisi, Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - WBC. Referee: Joe Cortez. Scorecards: 120-107, 118-109, 118-109. When Parisi (139) was floored in the second it looked as though it was going to be an early night, but the challenger got himself up and dusted himself down to lead Chavez (140) a merry dance for the full distance. However, while waging a defensive campaign throughout Parisi won only one round on the cards, the third, and spent most of the time moving, occasionally turning southpaw and rallying in spurts to make life tedious for Chavez. For his part, Chavez, who was well in front due to his extra work rate, gave up trying to catch Parisi towards the end and ultimately settled for the points win.

On the Thursday before Baltimore burned, Mr. Lee went to Washington.
"There comes a time when people get tired."
-- Martin Luther King Jr., Dec. 5, 1955
Tracy is tired. She was tired even before Baltimore burned this week.
There is much that could be said about the captured-on-video, made-for-the-water-cooler tirade by ESPN reporter Britt McHenry that lit up social media a few days ago and earned her a one-week suspension. McHenry, livid that her car had been towed after apparently being parked illegally, vented her spleen with acid condescension upon a woman who has been identified as "Gina," an impound clerk at a tow yard in Arlington, Virginia
Maybe, conservatives are done with dog whistle politics.
After all, NRA chief Wayne LaPierre traded his dog whistle for an air horn at a recent gathering of the gun faithful in Washington, D.C. "I have to tell you," he said, "eight years of one demographically symbolic president is enough."
Subtle, it was not.
On Sunday, it will be 20 years since the morning a bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and took 168 human lives. Nineteen of those lives belonged to children.
So here we are with another isolated incident.
That, at least, is how the April 4 police killing of 50-year-old Walter Scott will play in those conservative enclaves where the notion that there is such a thing as systemic racism is regarded as deluded and absurd.
The argument is over and conservatives have lost. Some of them just don't know it yet.
On the day after the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, Abraham Lincoln appeared at a second-floor window of the White House. He was acceding to the wishes of citizens who had gathered to serenade their president in this moment of victory. They called for a speech but Lincoln demurred. Instead he asked the band to play "Dixie."
On Sunday, people all over the world will commemorate the morning an itinerant rabbi, falsely convicted and cruelly executed, stood up and walked out of his own tomb. It is the foundation act for the world's largest faith, a touchstone of hope for over 2 billion people.
Am I the only person in America not making fun of Howard Schultz?
The Starbucks CEO bought himself a ton of ridicule recently when he attempted to jumpstart a national dialogue on race by having baristas write the words "Race Together" on customers' cups of Cinnamon Dolce Light Frappuccino Grande or Caffe Misto Venti with extra coconut.
Dear Ashley Judd:
I guess this is a fan letter, though it is not written in praise of your work in movies like "Insurgent," "Divergent" or "Tooth Fairy." Rather, it's in response to the headlines you made last week when you called out Internet trolls who defamed you as a "b---h," a "whore," and a "c---" and threatened you with rape after you tweeted an opinion about an SEC basketball tournament.
You are, perhaps, already familiar with the Republican List of Things You Cannot Say. If not, here's a quick refresher:
This is for Gigi, who can't figure out why I don't like Bill Maher.
Gigi, a reader in West Palm Beach, wrote me last week noting that I agree with the star of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" on most political issues. Yet I have, on previous occasions in this space, expressed distaste for him. "I just don't understand," wrote Gigi, "why you profess to dislike someone who is so like-minded. It baffles me."
Every once in a while the universe arranges itself to make you look smarter than you are. Lucky me, I am having such a moment now.
By now, it should come as news to no one that Ferguson, Missouri, has a lousy excuse for a police department.

IDPs Ask Varshalomidze to Solicit for Them With the President
IDPs living in Adjara urge the chairman of the Adjara Government Levan Varshalomidze to solicit for them with the President of Georgia. They request accommodations in new buildings constructed for IDPs in Tamari settlement.
IDPs, who have received 7 000 USD compensation from the government, urge the government for accommodations in social residential houses. They state the compensation distributed by investors in 2006 was not enough to purchase a shelter. So, they urge the government to satisfy them with accommodation. "We know they plan to construct more residential buildings for IDPs. Let them give us guarantees that we will receive space in any of new buildings," said IDP Ekaterine Dolidze.
IDPs residing in Batumi think the government shall give flats in the new buildings first to local IDPs. They said the people, who have never lived in Abkhazia, received flats in the residential buildings in Tamari Settlement.
Jina Gurchiani, an IDP: "A man from Ninoshvili Street worked on the Enguri Bridge only one year; then his family received an IDP status and now they live in the new building."
Health Care and Social Welfare Minister of Adjara Autonomous Republic Temur Gabaidze excludes possibility to give flats to IDPs who received compensations. "The IDPs, who received compensations, will not receive any guarantees. First of all, the state shall shelter those IDPs who have not received any compensation yet. Afterwards, the state will consider the case of other socially disabled people within its ability."
At the moment, 1 438 IDP families live in Adjara. About 400 of them received accommodations. 921 families received compensations in 2006 during mass eviction but most of them still do not have property.
22 residential houses with 608 flats were constructed in Tamari Settlement in Batumi with financial aid of the Municipal Development Foundation and EU.

Defending champions Hendon put in a five-star display to beat Redbridge Jewish Care in the match of the day as players from the JC MSFL returned to action following the winter break. There was also a good win for SPEC FC at Glenthorne, while Hendon C put in a determined effort to frustrate Oakwood B in Division Three. Danny Caro reflects on Matchday 17 of the season.
The JC MSFL season resumes on Sunday with action in the League Cup, Peter Morrison Trophy and league where the big match sees defending champions Hendon tackle 2011 winners Redbridge. Danny Caro looks ahead to all the action.
The race for the JC MSFL Golden Boot is hotting up nicely, with AC Mill Hill predator Ben Zloof overtaking Shirley's Jamie Kent after his fourth consecutive hat-trick to finish 2012 top of the leaderboard.
26 - Ben Zloof (AC Mill Hill)
25 - Jamie Kent (Shirley Park)
17 – Jono Gaon (Tottenham Chutspah)
16 - Adam Hersh (Los Blancos)
14 - Yishai Last (Hendon B)
Blizzard Storm manager Simon Linden hopes to take a leaf out of Bradford City's book and cause a major upset against Premiership opposition in the cup on Sunday.
Although his team were hit for six in the JC League Cup, Linden says his troops have nothing to lose when they host former cup winners Faithfold A.
Cup holders Hendon A have been handed a home match against Premier Division rivals Lions A in the tie of the round. Here is the full draw for the 2012/13 JC League Cup.
Faithfold A vs Oakwood A/SPEC FC
Woodford Wanderers/Temple Fortune vs Redbridge Jewish Care A
Hendon United Sports Club A vs London Maccabi Lions A
Camden Park vs Brady Maccabi B
Redbridge B, Blancos and Brady B claimed excellent results and this week's Select XI reflects just that.
1. Matt KEMP (Redbridge Jewish Care B) - pulled off one save it left his manager open-mouthed. Clearly a top, young keeper going places ...
2. Julian GERTNER (Los Blancos) - capped a stunning display with a wonder goal
1. Ben DE LA FUENTE ((Norstar A) - edged out Brady no. 1 Oli Colmans after guiding his team to their first-ever top-flight victory
2. Jordan GRANT (Norstar A) - "had his best games of the season at full back"
3. Bradley SHARP (Brady Maccabi A) - "was outstanding again, continually driving forward from left back whilst also defending superbly"
People have predominantly been talking about one thing. No, not the Manchester derby, or even the Cazorla dive, but that strike by Julian Gertner. I received three separate nominations from club representatives and a player, and no doubt the debate will rumble until we all gather around the Friday night dinner table.
It was a memorable weekend for Maccabi League goalkeepers, but this week's winner even had the opposition striker and fans purring in approval.
A man nicknamed Jules came up with this gem as Division Two table-toppers North West Neasden B had a Chanukah horror show.

Talk:Long Island (Tennessee)
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Help with information rather than just deleting it. Long Island (Tennessee)[edit]
KevinMyers, rather than deleting the information, since you have some Wiki know-how, why don't you contribute to the article instead of always reverting it back to the bare minimum of information? I do not have the Wiki know-how that you do, but this article deserves more information than what little it is being scaled down to. Most of the points provided actually come from the National Parks Service, found at this web address: http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/colonials-patriots/sitec54.htm
Do you not think it is important that Boone's Wilderness Road began there? Or that Tennessee gets it's name from The Long Island of the Holston? (HaroldKarey (talk) 04:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)) (HaroldKarey (talk) 04:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC))
- Because of copyright, we cannot just copy and paste text from other websites. Copyright violations will be deleted for legal reasons. Instead, try using the sources to write the history of the island in your own words, and me and other Wikipedia editors will help to polish the Wiki formatting. —Kevin Myers 04:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Also, if you have a good piece of text from an on-line source, you can always put it in quotes and include the source at the end, too. I and others would eventually fix up any online citations into proper footnote formatting, if we have the URL and can access the source.
Another good website with information that could be used for this page is: http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/imagegallery.php?EntryID=L048 Understand I am only trying to strengthen the information on this page. (HaroldKarey (talk) 07:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC))
- Thank you for adding that source, and for calling my attention to it. Just now I added the Tennessee Encyclopedia into a list of suggested state-specific sources for articles on historic sites, which i maintain in the mainpage of wp:NRHP. Thanks! doncram (talk) 16:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Please justify removing these two sources...[edit]
- Moore, J.S. Understanding Apples. Outskirts Press (October 2006)
- Spoden, Muriel M.C. Kingsport Heritage: The Early Years, 1700 to 1900. Johnson City, TN: The Overmountain Press, 1991(HaroldKarey (talk) 04:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC))
- I think those sources are listed now. Anything relevant, like these appear to be, can be listed in a "Further reading" section, or, if on-line, in an "External links" section. doncram (talk) 16:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Yuchi word "Tana-see" doesn't seem to be The Long Island[edit]
I just now edited (weakened) the assertion in the main article that a Yuchi word "Tana-see" referred to this Long Island. All the sources I saw (that were at all reliable-looking and not just reprints from Wikipedia) stated that if Tennessee came from a Yuchi word, the Yuchi place referred to was a different place. For example, http://www.tellicotimes.com/Tenn.html states "Some have proposed that Tennessee is a Yuchi word that means "meeting place". According to an ancient Cherokee tradition, there was once a small settlement of Yuchi (or, Uchee) who occupied the area around the mouth of the Hiwassee River [...]" Of course, if somebody can find a reliable source that "Tana-see" refers to The Long Island, they should put the source in and also identify in the text whose theory it is, as it seems to be a pretty unaccepted view. I actually think that as is (after my edit), the paragraph about Tana-see should really be deleted, but I want to give folks a chance to source it instead. (David Couch (talk) 21:10, 29 August 2009 (UTC))
- I know very little about Long Island, but I wish to point out that Wikipedia also is a source that says that Tanasi (that village near the mouth of the Hiwassee) is the source of the name. If there's a reliable source saying that some sources associate the name with Long Island, I'd keep it, since nobody really knows for sure. It will be interesting to hear if someone has a source -- or if this is an unfortunate case of "original research" that's been propagated by Wikipedia. --Orlady (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

So there she is, miles from any road, cut off from civilization in a Gothic mansion with bad wiring, an innocent baby upstairs, the telephone out of service, the rescue party up to its hubcaps in mud, and a homicidal sex maniac nibbling on her earlobe. A girl with a problem.
Her name is Amanda and she is the baby-sitter. She baby-sits in such out-of-the-way places that her father must have to deliver her in a Land Rover. England is a small island. For a Gothic mansion to be as isolated as this one, the grounds must violate the three-mile limit. And not even a gamekeeper to hear a scream.
Too bad, because Amanda is a crackerjack screamer. She keeps thinking she sees a sinister face through the windowpanes. It has wide eyes and a humorless grin. It rattles locks and taps its fingernails on the glass. Who could it be? Surely it couldn't be Brian, Helen's former husband, who was locked up in a mental prison after trying to strangle Helen and kill the baby? Surely not. Because Brian is safely locked up miles away. That's why Helen is out on a date tonight with her new fiance.
Well, we have been down this lonely, twisting road before. We have felt the creepers brush against our face, and we have heard the sound of panting in the forest, and we have heard the twigs snap and the pebbles rattle. We don't have to be Jimmy the Greek to give 10-to-1 odds that Brian is moping around somewhere out there in the night.
Look at it this way. If the homicidal Brian weren't out there in the night, what could the movie be about? Amanda would be left looking like a fool. The baby would get no sleep because of the screams from downstairs. And the police sergeant would be left holding the phone and repeating "Hello? Hello? Who's there?" for no purpose at all.
England is a long way ahead of us at this business of things out there in the night. Our houses in America are smaller and less complicated. Sinister noises in the night turn out to be malfunctioning automatic garage-door openers. But Gothic mansions have dozens of windows, countless creaks and not a door that doesn't groan. And the trees are planted close to the house on purpose, so that their branches can scratch against the eaves.
The English are also ahead of us in the baby-sitter department. Amanda is played by Susan George, who wears a cashmere sweater that is unbuttoned, by actual count, five times during the movie. It is also buttoned back up five times, so stay calm; this is only rated PG. (In an R movie, it would be buttoned back up four times, and in an X movie, of course, it wouldn't be cashmere.)
Because Susan George is awfully good at playing threatened, innocent, blond victims (cf. her rape scene in "Straw Dogs"), and because Ian Bannen makes a suitable maniacal and homicidal killer, "Fright" is a passably good thriller. It is a disappointment, though, coming from Peter Collinson, the talented young British director who made "The Penthouse" in 1967. Now there was a real thriller.

On the surface, it's all about protecting Russian kids from internet pedophiles. In reality, the Kremlin's new "Single Register" of banned websites, which goes into effect Nov. 1, will wind up blocking all kinds of online political speech.
What we are seeing in the USA, Russia and other advanced countries is a Global POWER GRAB of Freedom from Citizens. We are under surveillance constantly under the pretext of 'protecting the citizenry'. In Fact, 99.9% of all the recordings of cell phone, cameras, internet activity etc. is totally LEGAL but may be used in the future for further control and intimidation by the central governments of the Planet. I know this sound way far out and just another conspiracy theory, but it IS happening NOW. Don't believe me?

1247 Tasting Notes
Good Morning Steepster. With having little sleep last night but having to get up early and wait for a parcel re-delivery (which could be here as early as 7am) I've been forced to shuffle downstairs and start my day. An Earl Grey is my 'drug' of choice for this morning and a cream version sounds perfect, something soothing but with enough kick to stop me being zombie-fied.
New Mexico is a company I consider ordering from as they have reasonable UK shipping rates and sooo many tea blends. Not got around to it yet but it's always good to try a sample or two before I order.
Raw scent is very perfumed and thick, the bergamot is waxy and the vanilla sweet which is a beautiful contrast.
Tea is medium strength with beautiful vanilla tones (pod ie natural)and the bergamot is waxy but light and sweetened by the vanilla. Also a light toffee style flavour. I bought some sweetener in just in-case but it's sweet enough without it, husband agrees too.
Not as strong as it smells but it does have a nice level of flavour and it lingers in the mouth nicely.
Glad I made a pot of it this morning, it went down very well. When I eventually get around to doing an order I will get a bit more of this.
Flavors: Vanilla
With a name like Paris I thought this tea would be an Earl Grey but reading the description it's more of an Earl Grey with a big twist. Caramel and vanilla tones and light bergamot, sounds interesting. Not sure it's my idea of Paris but at least it's black tea based and will suit me well this afternoon.
Raw tea is sweet and perfumed with high vanilla and bergamot tones, which actually smell very nice together.
I put a small piece of rock sugar and a drop of milk into this tea, was in the mood for something sweet and creamy so hopefully it will suit the flavours.
Flavour is different from it's scent, berry is the strongest flavour which was a complete surprise as I didn't smell any at all. With the berry is a cocoa, dark caramel flavour with only a hint of vanilla/cream in the after taste. It's too different to be lumped in with Earl Grey so it's not what I thought it would be at all, that can be good and bad.
A nice tea but it's just not for me, not a huge berry fan and while this is pleasant enough for me to drink my pot full I would by no means think of re-stocking this in the future.
Flavors: Berries, Cocoa, Vanilla
I would like some black tea this lazy Sunday afternoon and this sample has been in my cupboard for way too long. It looks like a Darjeeling blend in colour and I do love Darjeeling so those holds some promise of being a nice tea. Not sure what it's mixed with but as a whole it as a sweet, wooden and light musk scent.
A long steeping time for this but it suits me well, I had too much tequila beer last night (yes beer with tequila in it, spells trouble from the start) and went to my parents to watch the Eurovision finale and have a Mexican feast. Why Mexican when it was Eurovision? Well why not? It was delicious. Well done to Conchita Wurst of Austria for winning Eurovision 2014, if anyone hasn't seen or heard about it she is the drag act that caused much controversy with countries such as Russia and Armenia. A man dressed as a beautiful woman but with a large beard. Vocally one of the best in the competition. Picture Kim Kardashian with a beard and you have Conchita Wurst.
Tea liquid is burnt orange with a sweet wood and light earthen scent. Flavour is light yet earthy with mild sweetness and a musky after taste. It tastes like a second flush Darjeeling but a very mild variety. A little astringency is present but not much, though it leaves a slight sour tang in the after taste.
It's nice but nothing special, though Darjeeling is one of my favourite black teas so perhaps I'm overly critical because I'm used to higher quality. Not meaning to come off snobbish there.
This is a pre-made iced tea which I don't usually drink but my parents got me one to try (their idea of 'if it's tea, Kayleigh will love it'). Yes for those who have not read my name is Kayleigh, just to make sure no one gets confused.
Well I like that this tea is organic and natural, never tried any of Hampstead's range before so it's a new venture completely.
Flavour is mild in terms of thickness, very lemony and refreshing. Like a mild, flat lemonade. Very light and sweet but not overly so. Still I'm finding it very pop/soda like. Though honestly it's not too bad, not sure I would buy it in but if I saw it in a restaurant I may have some. Stronger than Lipton's Lemon iced tea.
Let me begin by saying I have never been a huge tea bag fan despite being British. They always tasted old and dusty and virtually the same so given the choice I took either fruit tea or just plain water. Now I see the convenience of bagged tea but am still not a fan, if buying some in for the house (which would mostly be for my husband) then I get what I consider a 'nice' bagged tea such as Twinings Everyday or Teapigs Darjeeling Earl Grey. I can stomach those and drink with no problems. Then on Twitter I saw Dorset Tea offering free samples for UK citizens so I signed a small info form and a week later the samples arrived through the door (which was today).
Opening the sealed foil pack I notice a strong black tea scent, primarily Assam. Now I am not sure if it is purely Assam or a blend of Assam and Ceylon, the little pack had no information and their website is under construction at the moment so I can't check their either. Still to me it smelled like Assam ie rich and spicy. A nice full on tea scent.
So steeping my usual teabag way (three minute steep with two sugars and milk) I take a sip for the all judging result. The result was a good one. Not only does this smell like Assam but it also tastes like it too, very full on to match it's scent but as far as bagged teas go (and my dislike of them) this one has flavour and though a little dry it's strong and for me easily drinkable. Rather smooth considering it's so spicy and rich with just a hint of smoke in the after taste.
Compared to Twinings this tea is stronger and more on par with TeaPigs Breakfast Tea but much cheaper. Next time my husband asks for some 'normal' tea I will get some more. Not my usual type of tea but for when you have 5 minutes in-between cleaning it's pretty darn good.
I'm watching the Eurovision semi finals tonight for a bit of a giggle. Thank you Nattie for this tea.
The raw mix smells like pineapple and coconut which is nice but also a little dry. The blend is very mixed in size. Nice though so far, especially for a DavidsTea fruit blend as they are not usually to my taste.
In the mean time I'm watching the Belarus entry called 'Cheesecake' and though the song is awful (sorry Belarus) it's given me a sweet craving. Now I'm hoping this tea is sweet and fruity.
The long 6 minute steep later and a burnt orange liquid is produced but it has a dusty coconut scent, more unpleasant than it's raw form. :(
Flavour wise the coconut is heavy and sweet which is actually surprisingly nice compared to it's scent. The other fruit is more behind the coconut and it's hard to make it out other than to say generic tropical fruit.
Tastes just like tropical fruit juice that has been warmed up, like you've left it in the sun and forgot about it and when you go back to take a sip it's warm and tangy and you end up throwing it away.
Flavors: Coconut
Thank you to River Tea for this sample.
The raw tea smells a little fruity but it's subtle but definitely berry like. Using my personalitea teapot for this to share with my husband whose home after a stressful day at work.
Flavour wise this is a mild black base with gentle lychee flavour and a smoky finish. It also has rich malt tones which come through after a few sips. It has some natural sweetness but it's light compared to the base and next time I will have to try it with a little sugar, see if that makes the lychee pop.
It's a nice tea but average, tasted lots of teas like this one and I don't think this will be on my purchase list.
Flavors: Lychee, Malt
This was left over my 12 days of Christmas teas, I got sick towards the end and didn't want to waste the teas when I couldn't taste very well. After that this has been behind some other teas and I completely forgot about it.
The blend was very spice heavy, not sure if it was cinnamon or clove but that was the first thing I could smell as I opened the packet. Under that was the toast from the Genmaicha which went surprisingly well with the spice notes.
In flavour (with a drop of milk added to look like the picture as I imagine that is how it's meant to be drank) It's thick and more Chai than Genmaicha. Cardamom, cinnamon and clove scream at me "I'm a chai, I'm a chai" while the after taste bares a subtle toasted quality from the Genmaicha as if to say "Don't forget about me".It sounds odd and perhaps it is a rather unique combination but I admit they do work well together. I do wish the chai spices didn't dominate as much so the Genmaicha could shine through a bit more, not sure I would know it contained it without reading it. Sure the after taste is a little toasty but it's not to a usual Genmaicha strength. perhaps some Bancha would knock it up a notch. If I get more of this tea I will try.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Cloves
I've just raided my stash to pack a tea parcel for my hapatite swapping buddy. A great excuse to send a ton of teas that are just not to my taste. Not sure if my buddy is on Steepster but if you're reading this then know you will have a large package shortly :)
Reading the ingredients I am lead to believe this is a Genmaicha with a difference, with the toffee and vanilla I'm expecting it to be sweet and toasty which sounds like a nice combination. The blend certainly smells sweet and toasty, vanilla is strong but so is the toffee/caramel and without any green tea likeness. It is a nice scent though and strong at that.
Steeped it takes on a different scent, still sweet but also toasty, like vanilla and toffee popcorn (which sounds amazing and is now my new craving).
Flavour is toasty at first though light before creamy vanilla and sweet caramel ooze into the after taste and cover the slight grassy green tea. It tastes like a mild Genmaicha at first but it develops into a sort of Genmaicha ice cream with toffee sprinkles. I'm making myself drool as I write this. I never thought vanilla in Genmaicha would taste this good, it's revolutionary.
I need more of this in my life. Don't think it's possible unless I visit France as they don't sell online. :(
Flavors: Caramel, Vanilla
shoot Laurent an email and see if he can hook you up? [email protected] he provided us US Steepsters with free samples a while back, perhaps he'd be willing to arrange shipping to you special? :)
I usually have fruit for breakfast but this morning I have gone all out and made a good veggie style English breakfast. Two veggie sausages, baked beans, fried chestnut mushrooms, two fried eggs and some toast to mop up the food explosion that is on my plate. Not healthy but it will keep me going until dinner time and with something substantial in my stomach I am free to taste teas for the rest of the day without getting tea belly.
This sample of Golden Bi Luo Chun has been sat with me for just over a year and I don't know why I was worried about sampling it before, or perhaps I forgot about it. Anyone's guess is as good as my own. Either way an English breakfast is never complete without a cup of black tea.
The tea balls were nice and reflective and golden but they were also very small, I've had larger versions of this before elsewhere. I brewed this while I was cooking so I had a mixture of smells (my bad) but I could pick up silky malt tones.
I love my personaliTEA teapot from Adagio, it's perfect size for 2 mugs of tea and comes in handy when I have days off.
Once steeped a dark brown liquid is produced that bares a sweet malt and chocolate scent that is light and silky. Very nice.
Flavour is mild but matches the scent very much ie soft, sweet, silky, malt, chocolate tones. Also a little smoky though it's very subtle and hints of wood. After a few sips I can also taste a mature raisin or plum fruit.
This tea is wonderful and I'm sorry for keeping it on my shelf for so long. It makes the perfect start to my day.
Flavors: Chocolate, Malt, Plums, Raisins, Wood

I'm hoping to make some new friends and if it turns out to be something more than that's an added bonus. Pretend for a second that I'm not a random on the internet but your best friend's friend whom she/he would like to introduce you to. Here are some things she may say about me: 1. He's a really good cook. I've been over to his place for family/friends sunday dinners and we've had craft cocktail night, diy sushi night. It's always a good time. He's one of the biggest foodies I know. 2. He's really passionate about photography and is an aspiring professional. I love his pictures but sometimes when the big camera comes out at the bars, it's a little silly. 3. He's really outgoing but a bit of a geek sometimes. I think that's a good thing.

Eco Friendly vodka goes from glass to PET
Custom 1.75-L PET bottle for McCormick's Eco Friendly 360 Vodka offers lighter weight with glass-like appearance, and is first to feature a swing-top closure.
McCormick Distilling Co. Inc., a Weston, MO-based manufacturer and distributor of premium spirits, has converted its 1.75-L Eco Friendly 360 Vodka line from glass to lightweight PET bottles from Amcor Rigid Plastics. According to Amcor, the custom 1.75-L container delivers unique styling and consumer handling and has the distinction of being the industry's first PET bottle to support a swing-top closure.
The eye-catching bottle was designed to impart the look and feel of glass. At the same time, the lightweight PET container delivers sustainability advantages, reduced shipping and transportation costs, and a reduced carbon footprint, according to Vic Morrison, Vice President of Marketing for McCormick Distilling. The containers are one-tenth the weight of glass bottles, unbreakable, and recyclable.
"Amcor did a great job by delivering a crisp, clean bottle, and from the feedback we've received, consumers have been impressed with its performance and look," says Morrison. "Lightweight PET not only provided a major savings in terms of freight cost and other supply chain efficiencies but also gave us the glass-like appearance and the shelf appeal to maintain our original unique design and brand image."

As part of its sustainability focus, McCormick also uses reusable closures and recycled paper, printed with water-based eco-friendly inks. Since organic grain leaves a larger footprint, 360 Vodka uses local grain grown less than 95 miles from an energy-efficient distillery where 360 Vodka is crafted. This gives the brand its distinctive, smooth taste that has been awarded with multiple platinum and gold medals from international spirits competitions.
The PET container is the first to feature a swing-top closure. Adapting the unique closure to PET was a major design challenge for the bottle manufacturer, according to Myles Graybill, Amcor project engineer. Amcor's Advanced Engineering team performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling to predict the container's performance behavior and adapted the metal-based closure to the 0.9-in. (23-mm) finish diameter, thus creating a bottle that would be fully functional. "The neck design was critical as we undertook many iterations and hours of trial and error to adapt the existing closure to PET," says Graybill. The design also incorporates a tamper-evident band strip.
Amcor also reduced the bottle's height from 14 3/8 in. to 13 in., enabling the container to be better displayed on retail shelves. Previously, retailers either didn't carry the product or were forced to place it on a top shelf or lay it down.
McCormick uses PET containers in various sizes for a range of spirits products. Eco Friendly 360 Vodka comes in a variety of flavors and is available in retail establishments throughout the U.S.

Freud, Lucian Michael
Lucian Michael Freud 1922–2011, British painter, b. Berlin. A grandson of Sigmund Freud, he settled in England in 1933 and became a British subject in 1939. Freud is widely regarded as one of the finest figurative painters of the late 20th cent. Maintaining a restrained palette, in the late 1950s he moved from an emphasis on draftsmanship in thinly painted works to a stiffer brush and a much more tactile quality. He is especially known for highly expressive, heavily impastoed nudes and portraits painted with a disquieting realism that is at once brutally emphatic and richly detailed. Freud's intensely naked nudes, including Painter and Model (1986–87) and Naked Man, Back View (1992; Metropolitan Museum), have an almost meaty physicality. In portraiture, his best-known works include many self-portraits, for example Reflection with Children (1965) and Painter Working, Reflection (1993), and such works as Francis Bacon (1952; Tate Gallery), David Hockney (2002), and several portraits of his mother (1971–76).
See biography by P. Hoban (2014); studies by L. Gowing (1982), B. Bruce and D. Birdsall, ed. (1996), R. Hughes (1993, rev. ed. 1997), and W. Feaver (2008); M. Gayford, Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud (2010).

Back in the 50's before the measles vaccination was created, parents would hold measles parties to deliberately expose their child to the measles, in hopes that it would build immunity from the disease. Now it seems this is becoming popular again, especially in the communities that do not believe in vaccinating their children. California health officials have now had to issue warnings about measles parties.
