Stunning Ondulating Home in the Azores: House on the Flight of Birds
House on the Flight of Birds was designed by Portuguese architect Bernardo Rodrigues and is located on S. Michael Island in the Azores. With a highly original architecture consisting of curved volumes combined with unexpected sheltering panels and odd-shaped windows, this residence is truly spectacular. According to the architects, "the microclimate of this farmland offers frequent wind and showers so the first design strategy was to block those winds with a wall, offer diverse patios and covered courtyards on the ground floor protected from rain and open all living space to the natural green around by using glass walls receded from the exterior. On the upper-floor there are the private rooms more enclosed and protected." We were charmed by the roof terrace, a perfect place for relaxation where the inhabitants can enjoy views over the island's shore. A creative architecture solution for sheltering a private residence, don't you agree? [Photography is by Iwan Baan]

Interesting shape! But the roof without rails looks unsafe.
Wow. Now, that is an incredible looking house. I love that people aren't afraid to try different things and stand out. I also love the setting chosen for this design.

APAC to stay open, hire about 25
Call center lands health care client
CORPUS CHRISTI - Ten days before APAC Customer Services faced laying off its employees and possibly closing shop, the com-pany announced its Corpus Christi call center will be doing neither.
Instead, it will keep its present 325 employees and may add more thanks to a new health care client and some work it retained from an existing client.
In early August, the telecommunications company had warned the Texas Workforce Commission it might lay off about 450 employees and managers. Since then, the company has lost employees, falling to a total of 325, said Andrew Szanfran, APAC's senior vice president and CFO.
"(The) employee base should be stable and increase slightly," Szanfran said. "We may hire about two dozen more. We'll continue to work on getting more clients and increasing the workload to the local call center."
He offered little additional information.
APAC, which operates out of the Frost Bank building uptown, opened its doors in late 1996, and at the time, was one of the fastest-growing telephone-based customer service companies in the country.

"We know where they are," the official said.
The Navy's main objective will be to stop the pirates' lifeboat from linking up with the mother ships, which is a formidable challenge since the Navy vessels do not maneuver easily, and they want to avoid using force.
A Somali who helped negotiate a ransom last year for a Ukranian freighter loaded with Russian tanks and other weapons told the AP that the strategy for the lifeboat is being handled ashore. They want to be able to bring Phillips to Somalia and then negotiate his ransom, the Somali negotiator told the AP.
A Somali pirate identified as Mohamed Samaw in the pirate stronghold in central Eyl told the AP that among the ships heading to their colleagues' rescue was a Taiwanese fishing vessel seized Monday and the German cargo ship Hansa Stavanger, seized earlier this month.
"They had asked us for reinforcement, and we have already sent a good number of well-equipped colleagues, who were holding a German cargo ship," said another pirate who asked that only his first name, Badow, be used to protect him from reprisals.
"We are not intending to harm the captain, so that we hope our colleagues would not be harmed as long as they hold him," Badow said.
Garrett told ABC News that it's quite possible that the pirates chew Khat, an addictive stimulant popular in east Africa. With the withdrawal symptoms come irritability, restlessness and anxiety, which can complicate negotiations.
As American forces continued their standoff, French forces assaulted other Somali pirates who had hijacked a yacht called Tanit on Saturday with two French couples and a 3-year-old boy aboard.
The office of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who gave the order for the attack, said that one hostage was killed in the raid along with two pirates. The child was unharmed, but it was unclear who fired the shot that killed the boy's father, French officials said.
The three pirates who were captured will be brought to France to await trial.
Negotiators repeatedly offered the pirates ransom, French Defense Minister Herve Morin said during a press conference, but the pirates rejected it. Missing a loved one, the freed hostages are now safely on a French Navy ship headed towards Dijbouti.
The death of one French hostage points to the danger and volatility of rescue operations against pirates in Somali waters.
Elsewhere, a Norwegian chemical tanker, the Bow Asir, that was captured in late March was freed after pirates collected a $2 million ransom, Defense officials said.
Back in Phillips' hometown of Underhill, Vt., the captain's wife, Andrea, has helped put up yellow ribbons, but has remained silent about her husband's plight. She issued a statement today through the shipping Maersk thanking neighbors and the nation for its outpouring of support.
"We have felt the compassion of the world through your concern for Richard. My husband is a strong man and we will remain strong for him. We ask that you do the same," Mrs. Phillips said.
On Thursday, a neighbor indicated that Andrea Phillips was feeling the stress of the hostage drama.
"She's done very well under the circumstances, but right now she's just under enormous strain," said neighbor Michael Willard. He said Andrea Phillips was "overwhelmed" and "upset enough about her husband and his situation."

text: I finally listened to the entire 6 CD's and I was just wondering -- is it just me, or is the song they label as "Nation on Wheels - The Peoplemover" actually just a basic reedit of the Monorail Song? I always remember the Peoplemover had that cheesy late 60's/ early 70's elevator music type of feel to it. I was thinking that DL must have actually used the Monorail Song when the Peoplemover 1st opened and then later changed the soundtrack to the elevator music. Anyone know? This is probably the only thing I was really disappointed about w/ the CD's.

The only clue we have about the production of any special business strike 1964 halves comes from a short quote in the Breen Encyclopedia, page 418: "On Feb. 11, simultaneous ceremonies were held at both mints in the presence of a variety of Treasury officials, celebrating the new design; but coins were not available to the general public until March 5..." This February 11 special striking would seem to provide the occasion as well as the means of striking such a coin as is represented here. It would also at least suggest the possibility of the existence of a similar coin(s) from the Denver mint.
Magnification fails to reveal any trace of coin-to-coin contact on either side. The only interruption in the surfaces are a couple of microscopic abrasions along the highpoint of the truncation of the neck, and a few others on the raised, vertical shield lines on the reverse. These tiny marks could easily be produced by the piece coming in contact with a table or other hard surface--not an unlikely scenario for a 39-year old coin that was probably owned for most of that time by a non-collector. Kennedy's face is smooth and unblemished, as are the fields. The strike is also uncommonly sharp, the only coin to compare it to being a proof (again, reinforcing the multiple strike theory). As for pedigree identifiers, there are very few and none can be seen without a magnifier. On the lower reverse, a very thin, vertical toning streak extends from the lower left (facing) wing of the eagle down to the rim running alongside the upright of the L in HALF. A tiny grease stain can also be seen just below the eagle's left (facing) talon, and another, larger grease stain is located on Kennedy's nose (this one may actually be viewable without magnification). Most of the original mint brilliance is still present, but there is just the lightest bit of golden toning present around the margins.
There are a great many collectors of this series. Some collect because they remember the thousand days of Camelot, some because of the beauty of the design, others want only the finest Registry set. Whatever one's motivation for collecting Kennedy halves, it will be difficult to resist the allure of this specially struck coin. (NGC ID# 24U2, PCGS# 6706)

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Select Local Merchants
Columbia Association / Columbia Ice RinkRead MoreAt the Columbia Association, visitors find not only a place to work out, swim, or enjoy the great outdoors, but a place to connect with the local community and get to know their neighbors. Families take in live music by the lakefront during summer festivals, or glide across the ice at the public rink. Meanwhile, aspiring athletes build muscle, flexibility, and form with practice at indoor and outdoor tennis courts, or regular trips to the high-tech Columbia Gym. Columbia Association also helps its members maintain a healthy lifestyle with a wide variety of facilities, including nearby golf courses, 23 swimming pools, and even an attached horse center, where humans can learn to ride and horses can get in shape for swimsuit season.6151 Day Long Ln.Clarksville, MD US
Mattress DiscountersRead MoreProfessional sleep counselors facilitate peaceful slumber at more than 80 Mattress Discounters locations nationwide, where showrooms brim with mattresses from brands such as Sealy Posturepedic, Tempur-Pedic, and Space Age Foam. Unlike pet stores, Mattress Discounters encourages customers to lie on the merchandise, as sleep counselors use the Discover Your Comfort system to ask questions about sleep position and comfort level. With this information in hand, client and counselor select the right mattress for restful slumber, with each sleep surface backed by a 60-night comfort guarantee.1003 W Patrick StFrederick, MD US
Mattress WarehouseRead MoreShort of creating physical clouds to hold people aloft, Mattress Warehouse stocks almost every imaginable furnishing to help customers catch a few Z's. Rows of name-brand mattresses from Sealy, Simmons Beautyrest, Serta, and Tempur-Pedic entice customers to replace their worn pad for new bedding, such as a standard mattress, a fluffy pillowtop unit, or a memory foam piece that conforms to bodies. Beyond mattresses, the warehouse also carries an ample collection of box springs, full bed sets with rails and headboards, and even premium futon mattresses that revitalize foldable couches.7315 Grove RoadFrederick, MD US
Stoneside Blinds & ShadesRead MoreIt's not every day that online shopping includes as much personal attention as you get from Stoneside Blinds. In most areas, their online-shopping process starts off with a free house call from a designer, who helps clients pick out materials and styles for their window dressing. Once the client has made their choices, the company will send out teams to measure the window frames and, later, install the final product for a flat fee. Their handiwork, and the blinds themselves, are backed by a rigorous guarantee that lets customers change their minds within 30 days and safeguards against defects up to a year later, so customers never have to cover up faulty blinds with a poster of their backyard. The only online part of their signature process, really, is placing the order. Minutes after the order is placed, the team at the production warehouse gets to work making it a reality, whether it's roller shades in a custom fabric, sleek solar shades, or classic wooden blinds.5100 Buckeystown Pike Suite 250Frederick, MD US
Hidden Medicine Healing Arts StudioRead MoreAt Hidden Medicine Healing Arts Studio, well-practiced healers help clients overcome chronic pain and maladies with soothing massages, nourishing skincare and facials, and a wide range of alternative medicine products.

Nirvana Wellness SpaRead MoreAt Nirvana Reflexology Spa, a team of certified reflexologists uses the ancient therapy to relieve ailments and reduce toxins. During reflexology treatments, pressure is applied to specific areas of the feet and hands that are believed to line up with many of the body's internal organs. The treatment, aside from inducing general feelings of relaxation and well-being, has been shown to positively impact everything from migraines and back pain to insomnia and anxiety. For additional soothing, the therapists also administer an herbal tea bath for the feet, since coffee can often leave toes jumpy, and they also work out tension in the neck and scalp, adjusting pressure to each client's comfort level.20650 Seneca Meadows Pkwy.Germantown, MD US

Reputations follow men around inside prison like bad smells.The 'gangster' often turns out to be plastic, the 'snitch' a reliable confidant and the 'screw boy' an affable and gregarious bloke who just sometimes forgets the invisible but nonetheless important boundaries between officers and convicts.
The author of this article is a life-sentenced prisoner serving a minimum tariff of 13 years, who communicates with Urban Times via letters which are transcribed to be published online. He describes Notes From The Other Side of The Wall as a kind of 'Blogumentary', offering a unique and topical insight into prison as a microcosm of society. Danny Cash is a pseudonym.
Reputations follow men around inside prison like bad smells. Some have reputations for being gangsters or hard men, others for being snitches or screw boys. One quickly learns that such reputations are not always warranted or even desired by those they have been foisted upon. The 'gangster' often turns out to be plastic, the 'snitch' a reliable confidant and the 'screw boy' an affable and gregarious bloke who just sometimes forgets the invisible but nonetheless important boundaries between officers and convicts.
That's why I try not to pay too much attention to such reputations, preferring instead to rely on my own impressions of the person. That said, as with everyone else in the prison, I was well aware of Billy's reputation for, shall we say, stretching the truth.
Bill had apparently credited himself with all sorts of fantastic endeavours from becoming a self-made millionaire at the age of fifteen to helping negotiatie Nelson Mandela's release from prison by 'pulling a few strings'. His stories had made him a kind of celebrity on the prison grapevine, a legend in his own life-sentence you might say.
Since I'd never actually met Billy I had no way of knowing whether he had actually told any of these stories or whether it was just malicious gossip. I often doubted he had; after all, who would have the audacity to claim that he used to be friends with Prince Andrew until they had a fall-out over a lap dancer called Ginger?
'That's him,' a friend whispered to me with an almost reverent tone in our prison workshop last week.
'Who?' I asked, peering over at the new face among us.
Billy was a plump man with copper hair, bulbous eyes and protruding front teeth that were slightly bucked. He looked to be in his mid-fifties, give or take a decade or two. It's not always easy to estimate a prisoner's age. It depends on a number of factors; how long he's been away, whether or not he smokes, how much gym and exercise he gets and so on. Prison preserves straight-members (those who don't indulge in alcohol or drugs) but ravages indolent hedonists.
It was perhaps easy to see why Billy had earned himself a reputation, there he was in full swing, talking animatedly and gesticulating wildly. The several men listening to his discouse sat full entranced and captivated. Billy basked in adoration of his attentive audience until they finally grew tired and moved on to Manchester Mick's table who, incidentally, is another good story-teller.
Poor Billy looked crestfallen. He began trundling around the workshop, pretending to be busy but really looking for someone else to share his stories with. With only a few dozen men in the workshop I knew it wouldn't be long until he tried starting a conversation with me and, sure enough, in less than five minutes he had me in a position where prison etiquette dictated that I at least acknowledge him. I smiled as convincingly as I could and gave him a slight nod. That was all it took.
'Billy,' he said, pacing over and extending his hand towards me by way of introduction.
'Danny,' I said reluctantly offering him my hand.
With the he took a seat at my table, asked how I liked the workshop and somewhat pathetically tried to flatter me by telling me that I looked 'far too intelligent to be in a workshop'. Having a natural aversion to sycophants, I could feel the groan working its way up through my sternum but I tried my best to smile politely. A heavy silence settled around us. I hoped that he might take the hint and move on elsewhere but instead he said, 'This is almost as boring as being on the International Space Station.'
Instead of being jocular his tone was serious and sombre. It was a statement unashamedly begging for interaction. I glanced up at him and reluctantly succumbed, out of pity rather than any genuine curiosity.
'The International Space Station?' I asked.
'Yeah,' he said in a tone full of well practiced nonchalance. 'I spent a couple of weeks up there a few years ago. When I was in the Royal Marine Space Engineers.'
'The Royal Marine Space Engineers?' I asked,tensing my upper lip to paralyse the smirk I could feel threatening to engulf my face any moment.
He went on to explain that the RMSE were a secretive government department protecting our nation interests in space. He regaled me with detailed and comprehensive accounts of the InTernational Space Station, his three separate space walks and the secretive launch site in Dartmoor that he regularly departed from but that very few people apparently knew about on the account of it being classified above top secret. By the time i next looked at the clock it was almost time to go back to the wing and it suddenly occurred to me why anyone ever bothered listening to Billy when his stories were so ridiculous and far-fetched that they couldn't possible be true. In prison pity only goes so far.
People listen to Billy for the same reason people have always listened to storytellers: Billy offers people a temporary release from their abject reality. It doesn't matter whether his stories are true or not, all that matters is that the listener is temporarily transported into a different world, a world of fantasy and make-believe. Perhaps that's why Billy gets plenty of respect despite his dubious narratives. If the real truth be told people enjoy listening to Billy's ttories and retelling them time and again. It gives them something to talk about other than prison.
Let's just hope that the Psychology Department don't get hold of poor old Billy. They make take a different view of his voyages into the land of fantasy and make believe!

Who can get enough of bitch fights in public, break ups, break downs?…but sources say they have officially called it quits this time (not that Sienna making out with her "Factory Girl" co-star Hayden Christensen wasn't enough!). Miller was spotted moving her furniture out of his home in Maida Vale, London, last week. According to sources, Sienna was actually desperate to patch things up, she has asked begged Jude to give it one last chance, but he has moved on and he thinks it's time that she does too. She eventually got the message and packed up all her stuff". An onlooker adds, "A white van arrived outside Jude's house at 1pm and two removal men spent about four hours packing up her gear, including a guitar, a white laundry basket, a patterned wooden cabinet and a large fan." Hey Jude, if you don't give it another chance what the hell will we write about you than?? You're really not that interesting by yourself. In the meantime, Jude was recently spotted at the Château Marmont looking pale and super skinny.

Chile - Red Pepper Flakes
Friday, 18 June, 2010
Grilled Asparagus and Squash
Total Time: about 20 minutes
This cold chicken salad is not really strange--just delicious! It gets its name from the sauce which is salty, sweet, sour and hot, all in one dish. In the Chinese province of Hunan where the summers are hot, a cool yet pungent entree is always welcome. This is a great way to recycle left-over chicken. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
Sunomono is a Japanese salad made with sliced cucumbers in a tangy dressing; you may have seen it on the menu at your favorite sushi restaurant. If you dice the cucumbers, sunomono becomes a salsa that makes a lively accompaniment to fresh oysters, seared tuna steaks, or fried soft-shell crabs. Feel free to experiment with this simple recipe, adding shreds of dried seaweed or toasted sesame seeds.
Cook these meat kabobs separately from vegetables; vegetables should be cooked for a longer time at a lower heat. You can use some of the orange chile marinade for the vegetables as well; divide it before you pour marinade over the meat. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
This alternative to hamburgers makes a great light meal when served with a side salad. Also excellent as a cocktail party hors d'oeuvre.
My youngest daughter recently visited Tibet and Nepal. She came back with this recipe that I've modified a bit. Traditionally, Sukuti is prepared with a dried meat, almost like a jerky. This recipe could also be prepared with beef or buffalo although beef is never eaten in Nepal. This recipe requires advanced preparation to allow the meat to marinate.
Now here's a delicious spring vegetarian dish that utilizes new potatoes, and feel free to increase their number and reduce the eggplant if you so desire.
Terry Stinnett, a barbecuer who lives about 10 miles from Owensboro, has been cooking mutton at church benefits for more than 20 years.
"The church's men's club cooks four to six times a year," he explains. "Once of these fundraisers consists of 500 to 1,000 pounds of mutton, 300 to 500 whole chickens and 300 to 500 gallons of burgoo."
Terry is also a certified barbecue judge for the Kansas City Barbeque Society and travels to 15 to 20 competitions a year. He usually competes in a handful of barbecue competitions each year.
"We cook the meat over an open cinder block pit," he notes. "Logs of hickory for flavor, oak for heat and sassafras for flavor are alternated in the bottom and the fire is about four feet from the meat. It will cook about 12 to 14 hours. As it is cooked, it's turned every hour. The finish dip or sauce is applied about two hours before the meat is done."
The open pits are dug four feet into the ground and are about 20 feet in length and 54 inches wide, he said. Large heavy screens are laid atop the cinder blocks to hold the meat.
Here's his recipe for mutton mop, to be applied during the last 2 hours of cooking. It's been scaled down from the original 3-gallon batch.
Sometimes called "the bouillabaisse of Hungary," Paprika Fish Soup is simplicity itself. It originated centuries ago with the fishermen who cooked it in big metal pots over campfires on the embankments of Hungary's great rivers, including the Danube. In Hungary this fish soup often contains several kinds of local fresh fish—carp, catfish, sterlet, pike, perch, bream, whatever is available as the catch of the day.

Union Corners Plays Key Role In Neighboring Project | Environment
Title (Max 100 Characters)
It might be bad news for residents hoping recent activity at the empty Union Corners site was the beginning of a new development project, but the role the Union Corner's site is playing in a different area project is quite meaningful.
The space is currently being used as staging area for the Williamson Street road reconstruction project.
"This removed material is going to get to be a pretty big pile," said Jim Wolfe, city of Madison Engineering Department.
The Union Corners site, located along East Washington Avenue, has pretty much become an empty lot after a failed development project. But purpose has returned to the site this spring.
"The Willy Street project is a very complete street reconstruction," said Wolfe. "We are not only doing new curb and new pavement, we're also doing new storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water mains, street lights (and) traffic signals."
The first phase of the project, which started this week, required crews to rip apart the current road and sidewalks on one half of the street.
"The concrete and asphalt that's pulled out of the street, they're taking it over to the Union Corners site and kind of storing that," Wolfe said.
Once the Williamson Street project moves to the other side of the road, the pile will get even bigger, Wolfe said.
He said the project will reuse 25,000 tons of concrete and asphalt and cut back on trucking miles by 23,000 miles.
"A site like Union Corners is close enough to the project and there's existing concrete, kind of like a pavement out there that allows them to set up the (crushing) equipment pretty easily," Wolfe said.
About 80 to 90 percent of the gravel base for the new road will be made up of the existing concrete and asphalt. The concrete and asphalt will be stored on the Union Corners site until it can be crushed to the exact specifications the city requires for new roads.
"All that removed material would go into landfills and the crushed aggregate for the roads would have to come from quarries," Wolfe said.
Wolfe said it was important to the Willy Street Neighborhood and to the city to make sure that an environmentally friendly approach was taken in the construction process. The quality of the new road will also be improved thanks to their eco-friendly approach.
"It's pretty intrusive to get in there and do a street project like this," Wolfe said. "So we're getting some (added) base course in there and beefing it up a bit."
The city hopes to bring in crushing equipment sometime in June to crush all the material. They said the process should take about three days.
Wolfe said not all city street and sidewalk projects require this type of approach, but the Willy Street plans included the recycling mandate.

Proper ground fault protection is required by the National Electrical Code, yet about 15% of ground fault protection systems tested by NETA (InterNational Electrical Testing Association) are improperly installed, contain defective components or don't work correctly.
What is grounding?Grounding or earthing of electrical equipment serves several purposes. The first reason is to ensure safety from overvoltages, faults and lightning. Grounding also provides stability of system voltages by providing a solid reference to earth and establishing a reference to control electrical "noise" that might interfere with the proper operation of electronic equipment.
Why is ground fault protection important?A low level arcing ground fault can destroy switchgear in seconds, before the main service overcurrent protection kicks in. That's because a 480/277 volt solidly grounded system has enough voltage to maintain an arc between one phase and a ground, but not enough current to cause a large main breaker or fuse to quickly clear the fault. The resulting arc is like an electric weld, consuming large amounts of metal in the seconds it takes the breaker or fuse to operate.
A properly installed and operating ground fault protection system will detect and clear the fault in milliseconds, fast enough to limit damage to acceptable levels.
Emerson can conduct a study of your grounding system to determine its effectiveness. Our Grounding Study analysis can detect problems such as:

From General Mechanics to General Motors: Lynn Gantt's EcoCAR Experience
Ed. Note: Cross-posted with Energy Blog
Watch the video about Virginia Tech's winning EcoCAR Challenge Team here.
Since childhood, Lynn Gantt has had a deep seeded passion for cars and the mechanics that drive them. The Virginia native spent his weekends rebuilding antique tractors with his dad to race at tractor pulls across the state, and now the Virginia Tech graduate student is the proud team co-leader of Virginia Tech's EcoCAR Challenge team—the winners of the three-year long competition, as announced last night at an awards ceremony in Washington, DC.
Lynn grew up around mechanics and engineering, which is why he says the Mechanical Engineering undergrad and graduate programs at Virginia Tech were a perfect fit for him. In addition to the family hobby of rebuilding antique tractors, Lynn's dad runs a small electrical contracting business (Swing Electrical Company) out of Newport News, VA, and his older brother is an auto mechanic at a car dealership. "Clearly this program was just a natural fit for me," he says.
Lynn has been a member of the Hybrid Electric Vehicle Team of Virginia Tech (HEVT) for all three years of the EcoCAR Challenge, which began his senior year in Fall 2008. As the only remaining original Virginia Tech participant, Lynn has spent the last three years working with teams of 25 student volunteers modifying the team's 2009 Saturn Vue—which the team aptly named the VT-REX (for Virginia Tech - Range Extended Crossover) . The car was donated to each of the 16 teams by General Motors, who partnered with Department of Energy to sponsor the competition and its predecessor, Challenge X.
Last week, his team got to put their finely tuned creation to the test at General Motors' Proving Grounds in Milford, Michigan, and the results were stunning. In addition to achieving an average of 81.9 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (70 percent higher than the stock Saturn Vue), the VT-REX demonstrated a braking distance of 132.74 feet, which handily beats the stock vehicle's 141.66 feet braking distance. Virginia Tech's vehicle impressed throughout the process, consistently setting the standard as it underwent many of the same technical and safety challenges conducted on many of GM's production vehicles—a performance that set them apart from the pack and ultimately led to them becoming the winners of the inaugural EcoCAR Challenge.
Lynn's connection to General Motors isn't ending with the competition though. Instead, he and a several other team members are taking their talents to Michigan this summer, where they will become some of General Motor's newest employees. More specifically, Lynn will be working in the company's Energy Center, where he says he will likely be focusing on improving fuel economy and electric consumption—both of which connect to his graduate thesis project, which focuses on predicting electric range in vehicles.
Other Virginia Tech students will work with Bosch, and Lynn says that several undergrads from the team have secured summer internships with General Electric.
As Lynn prepares to start the next chapter in his journey, he offered some words of wisdom to other young people who might be interested in joining the next generation of auto engineers: "Try and learn as much as you can about automobiles. The amount of technology in cars today is unbelievable, and it takes a lot to get cars like these up and running. Start early and learn as much as you can." As for the EcoCAR Competition, Lynn says that the experience is one that students should get involved in. "We spend a lot of time working with industry leading technology that's otherwise not available to college students."
The Department of Energy is proud to team up with industry leaders like GM to bring innovators like Lynn to the forefront of the clean energy jobs movement.

belgian mint tea
Customer Reviews
| 5 of 5 stars
Steeping Guidelines
Steep for 5 minutes, 208°F
For stronger flavor, steep longer.
For loose leaf herbal iced teas, use 3 tsp per 8oz glass and double the steep time.
Caffeine Level
Did You Know?
Our tea is made from the husks of cacao seeds that are leftover from the chocolate making process. These husks contain a hint of the chocolate flavors once inside, but do not retain measurable quantities of caffeine or the other bitter flavors of pure cacao.
More Info
Tea type: Herbal tea
'A very rich and natural indulging herbal tea' is the best way to describe Tea Forté Belgian Mint tea, where cacao bean and peppermint leaves meet. Both the cacao bean and cacao husk impart a rich, all natural chocolate flavor to the Peppermint infusion.
The peppermint's fresh, invigorating character cleanses the palate and is a wonderful after-dinner digestive. In addition, peppermint is thought to improve sleep and the menthol in peppermint is a natural decongestant explaining why mint teas are so wonderful when you have a cold.
Tasting notes:
- Flavor: refreshing peppermint balanced with satisfying chocolate; naturally sweet finish
- Aroma: peppermint patty
- Color: amber
- Strength: rich, smooth consistency, full bodied

Absolutely Delicious!
I discovered Tea Forté last year whiling staying at Kingsmill in Williamsburg, and I feel like my tea~loving prayers were answered! After I got home, I went online and found Tea Forté and now each day I drink one or more of the many kinds of tea that I have come to love. The Belgian Mint is right up there as one of my most favorites as I drink this mostly in the evenings, when I do not want to consume any more caffeine for the day, but still want both a wonderful tea AND a treat before bed. I sweeten it a little but without question, this is one of my favorite Tea Forté teas.
1/24/15 | Cam, ALLENTOWN, PA
OMG, to die for!
This is my most favorite tea! It's like eating chocolate mint squares from Ghirardelli, but in tea form. I used 2 teaspoons of the mix and steeped for about 8 minutes. I then added a couple teaspoons of raw, unfiltered honey. It really is divine. My one and only complaint is that the tea does NOT look like the picture. The picture has more substantial pieces, while the tea I got is very, very finely ground and resembles a coffee in a way. It does seep through the Kati cup mesh infuser, but it doesn't bother me. Try this, it's decadent. Great for dieters who want to get their "fix" without blowing the progress they've made. PLEASE, don't ever stop making this Tea Forte!
1/22/15 | Heidi, Nashville, TN
Give it a chance, you won't regret it!
This tea was my first taste of a Tea Forte blend and it is definitely the best loose leaf tea I've had to date. I'm a loose leaf newbie and still learning the subtleties of this art form (it really is an art to make and find the perfect blend). This tea + a little raw sugar + Kati cup = perfection. It soothes my chocolate-loving soul, with just the perfect harmony of mint to leave a very nice cooling sensation on the tongue after each sip. A fabulous way to de-stress before bed. Give it a chance, you won't regret it!
9/23/14 | Sara, Fort Scott, KS
Best Chocolate mint tea ever
Very delicious. Other brands have either not enough chocolate or not enough mint flavor. But this one is just so well balanced. I drink it every day and mix it in the morning with the skin smart cucumber mint tea for health benefits and caffeine. I also ship it regularly to my mother in Germany since she can not find anything like it over there. Please never discontinue.
4/14/13 | Nadine , Smithtown, NY
One of my absolute favorites
I love this tea. I have had both the loose tea and the pyramid infusers and the flavor is fabulous. This tea is the perfect blend of chocolate and mint. The tea is both soothing and robust. I am never disappointed in the taste and find it to be an excellent stress reliever after a hard day at work.
3/17/13 | Kimberly , Nyack, NY
Candy in a Cup!
Its wonderful! My favorite I think, there are a few that are hard to choose between they are all so amazing. However, this one is dessert from start to finish. I do add a bit of stevia as I like mine a bit sweet but this flavor without it is still to die for if your a chocolate lover as I am.
2/17/12 | Johanna, Grandview, WA
A chocolate-lovers tea
I was just enjoying a cup of this tea and had to admit - this is my favorite way to get that taste of chocolate without eating a whole bar of it! A great tea for after dinner, but really, anytime is a good time for chocolate & mint.
11/10/10 | Julie, Somerville, MA
Perfect balance, indeed. Exactly right. How can it be that a single sip is so simply, purely...chocolate and mint? But it is. Nothing else. Chocolate. Mint. Exquisite.
8/8/09 | Valerie, Bethlehem, PA
The caffeine level in a cup of tea can vary by tea type, steeping practices and even the particular tea harvest. We use the following designations as guidelines for the caffeine levels of our teas:
Tea/herbal blends with less than 30mg
Decaf tea retains a tiny amount of caffeine
Herbal teas are 100% caffeine free
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
These steeping guidelines produce the best results for our palates. Use them as a guideline, but you may certainly experiment and find the best results for yours.

Flour Bluff ISD may be featured in national news segment on Sept. 11
CORPUS CHRISTI - NBC Nightly News interviewed students and staff at Flour Bluff ISD, which has obtained three pieces of the fallen World Trade Center towers, for a special feature honoring the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The NBC segment will air Friday and may include interviews from Flour Bluff as broadcast space allows. The show is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
The district plans to unveil the artifacts at a ceremony at 9 a.m. Friday at Flour Bluff High School on Waldron Road. The pieces — three chunks of twisted, rusted steel — eventually will be displayed at the administration building and the junior high. A third piece, to be housed at the high school, will be showcased alongside photographs of two district graduates killed in Iraq.
Army Spc. John Paul Barta, of the class of 2000, was killed Dec. 23, 2006. He was 25.
Marine Cpl. Paul Holter III, of the class of 2001, was killed Jan. 14, 2005. He was 21.
Superintendent Julie Carbajal said the Sept. 11 artifacts will help students better understand the terrorist attacks, which many don't remember. Seniors were 7 or 8 years old on Sept. 11, 2001.
Carbajal said the district's Sept. 11 memorial also shows the nation the imprint the attacks left on a Texas community thousands of miles away from the wreckage in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania.
"We too had families that were so affected, as American citizens, as military personnel, as people who knew people, friends who knew friends, people who didn't know each other but were so bound by just the thought of, 'We're Americans and we have to join together,' " Carbajal said.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has disseminated steel salvaged from the fallen World Trade Center towers to cities, schools, churches, museums and other groups nationwide that requested pieces. The agency received 1,500 requests and gave away more than 1,100 artifacts.
A self-proclaimed collector of historic items, Master Chief Bruce Chaney, instructor of the NJROTC at Flour Bluff Junior High, petitioned for the artifacts two years ago and received them in the mail at the beginning of the summer.
District officials and students enrolled in the ROTC program are the only ones so far to see the pieces.
