Looks like a restaurant, but the glass ceiling is a great idea for in the city where there isn't a great view or enough light from wall windows. Love the Edison light bulbs and the plants, too!

Holocene landscape development and human impact in the Connemara Uplands, Western Ireland
Aim Investigate: (1) the role of human impact in shaping the landscape and particularly the initiation of blanket bog; (2) the short-lived abrupt changes and their causation; (3) the phenomenon of large-scale upland peat erosion to answer the question of when and why erosion of upland blanket peat commenced in the Connemara uplands. Location
Lough Maumeen in the Maumeen Gap, Connemara, Western Ireland. Methods
Pollen, sedimentary analysis and 14C dating on the lake sediment cores. Results
Pollen diagrams, charcoal fragments, bulk and dry densities, mineral content (or loss-on-ignition), whole core magnetic susceptibility, specific magnetic susceptibility for the core profile. Main conclusions
Pine-dominated woodland developed from 9250 BP. Human activities effected the deforestation between 5050–4000 BP. Peat bog initiated on the wet hollow ground in the gap during the elm decline. The major expansion of blanket bog landscape in the upland commenced at 4000 BP following immediately the Taxus decline. Human impact was the dynamic force responsible for the destruction of the woodland and the formation of blanket bog in the upland. Three episodes of short-lived erosion events were identified between 8650–8400 BP, 5450–5250 BP, and 600–200 cal. BP, respectively. They are very different from each other in their causation. Large-scale peat erosion is a recent phenomenon. It has been caused by intensive sheep grazing, which has been extended to the upland blanket bogs since the late eighteen century.

- Personal Message
- I am a highly experienced specialist English Literature and BMAT Section 3 tutor and academic currently studying for a doctorate at King's College London, having completed my Master's and Undergraduate degrees at the University of Cambridge.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
- I teach English Literature and also teach students preparing for section 3 of the BMAT exam.
I offer tuition not only to support student's school education, but am available for complete teaching courses for home-schooled students or students taking qualifications outside of school, and have authenticated coursework for both OCR and AQA exam boards. I can also liaise with teachers if you wish, as some parents have requested in the past.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
- 2011 – Present : PhD in English Literature at King's College London
2010 – 2011: M.Phil in American Literature at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge
2007-2010: BA (Hons) in English at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge
2000-2007: Wilson's Grammar School
Advanced Extension Award: English (Distinction)
A2 Levels: (Classical Civilisation A, History A , English Literature A)
AS Levels: (Classical Civilisation A, History A, English Literature A, Philosophy A)
GCSE: A* Information Technology (Top Five in country)
GCSE: A*-Grades (Mathematics, English Language, English Literature, Science Double Award, Religious Education, History, Art, Latin); A-Grade (French)
I have an article on 20th century experimental fiction due to published in an academic collection by Palgrave and spoke at the 2013 International Conference on Narrative.
- What kind of experience do you have?
- I have extensive tuition experience with students ranging from GCSE to AS and A2 level in English Literature and English Language, and to third-year undergraduate level in English Literature. I am experienced with all major exam specifications at GCSE, iGCSE, and A-Level, as well as some undergraduate courses at a variety of institutions. I also have BMAT (writing) and Common Entrance (13+) English experience. I have been contacted for help with tasks as varied as last-minute revision help, intensive summer and half-term revision programmes, long-term weekly tuition, coursework help, and even to create original programmes of teaching for those students who wish to generally expand their knowledge of the subject in ways they would not be able to in school.
In 2012 I began teaching undergraduates at King's College London for the module 'Introducing Literary Theories', leading classes, marking coursework, and marking exam papers. The course introduces first-term students, fresh out of A-Levels, to complex theories of literature from such thinkers as Ferdinand de Saussure and Karl Marx, Jacques Derrida and Paul de Man, encompassing feminism, Marxism, and a whole host of theories, including those surrounding the 'Death of the Author'.
In 2010 I worked as Graduate Assistant to the Ted Hughes Conference and as General Co-ordinator for the International Programmes at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge.
- How much do you charge?
- I charge a flat rate fee of £60p/h for all tuition sessions.
- Where do you teach?
- I mainly teach online.
- When are you available?
- The majority of my tuition is carried out on weekday afternoons.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
- I teach GCSE students and above all the way to adult learners, although I can sometimes make exceptions for some KS2 students.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
- Yes
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
- ========================================
"It's somewhat like learning to speak a foreign language — you conduct the language lessons in the language being learned, you learn French by speaking French, not by speaking English."
The majority of my tuition sessions are carried out online via Skype using text chat in order to force my students to communicate in written English. BMAT Section 3, English Literature, the ELAT, and other exams I tutor all require written English in this manner, not spoken English which is irrelevant to many of the tasks at hand and which can hide poor essay skills.
I have tried various methods since beginning my tuition business — travelling out to students, having students at our home for tuition sessions, and webcam-based video chat — yet none of them have produced the results that text-based online tuition has. For all of the subjects I teach (with the exception of Oxbridge interview practice, for which I do utilise webcam and sound chat, and for Speaking and Listening controlled assessments), the primary mode of expression in which students are assessed is their written essay style. I have encountered many students whose ability to talk out loud about texts is at a much higher or lower level than their ability to write about texts, and unfortunately, therefore, much time is wasted in verbal face-to-face discussion honing skills that have little to do with essay writing and the end results of English Literature, Classical Civilisation, Personal Statements, or BMAT Section 3 tasks.
Therefore, I devised my online text-based tuition method that uses text-based chat as my primary mode of tuition, switching only to webcam or sound when text is unsuitable for the task at hand. Although it may initially seem counter-intuitive for some, this method produces the best results with less time wasted in the student travelling or in face-to-face discussions that fail to result in any real changes in grades.
Essays and materials are exchanged via email and Skype's 'Send File' function, electronically marked by hand, and payments for sessions currently made by online or in-branch bank transfer.

- Tell me about some of your current students.
- I am currently tutoring a number of students for GCSE, A-Level, and undergraduate English Literature, alongside a stockbroker who wants to improve her knowledge of English Literature and a few students who require assistance with the essay task for the BMAT university admissions exam.
I have students who have requested my services themselves, such as the below:
"From Jack (5/5): (A-Level English) Greg is a first-class, wonderful tutor. I have been having weekly sessions as a private candidate for A-Level and for Literary Theory for approaching one year now and I have progressed and achieved far more than I thought possible in the time. Greg has an astounding knowledge of his subject and an extraordinary flair for teaching it. His lessons are always meticulously prepared and enjoyably challenging; one comes away from each lesson with a definite awareness that progress has been made and so with bolstered self-confidence. I have been especially impressed by Greg's ability to tailor our course of study to my individual requirements and desires. After enquiring as to my interests in Literary Theory at the outset of tuition, Greg has continually demonstrated how these theories interact with both one another and with the texts we have been covering for A-Level, exploring them alongside the A-Level texts with tailor-made exercises and suggestions for further reading, with the result that I have come away from each session feeling that I have progressed in both areas of interest in the time I had expected to cover merely one; Greg has greatly expanded my understanding of literature as a whole via a highly personalised and exceptionally stimulating course of A-Level study, and vice-versa. Worthy of special note is the online tuition method, which is remarkably effective, especially as it provides one with a transcript of the conversation which can be revisited at a later date, which is ideal when so much is covered in a short space of time. Aside from the lessons, themselves testament to a substantial out of hours commitment, Greg has been exceptionally helpful in organising the authentication of my A-Level coursework with the exam-board. As is imperative in a tutor, Greg is always friendly and unfailingly patient and supportive. It has been a pleasure to have him as a tutor, and I look forward to continuing sessions with him. An inspired tutor, I cannot recommend him highly enough."
Alongside students whose parents have requested my services:
"From Elaine (5/5): (GCSE English) Excellent! My daughter has only been attending sessions for a few weeks and we have already seen improvements not only in her work but in her confidence. Greg is very flexible in his style of teaching and listens to pupil and parent about what needs to be studied especially if doing a particular topic in school. What is also so very helpful to my daughter is that in Greg she now feels she has someone in her corner.
We have been very lucky to find Greg and we do appreciate him."
"From Lynne (5/5): (A-Level English) Greg is a true find and I feel privileged to have him as a tutor for my daughter. Lara had been struggling with essay structure and text analysis in her A2 English Language/Literature and Classical Civilisation. She was lacking motivation and confidence. Lara has only had a few sessions so far with Greg and already she has regained her passion for these subjects. She is now extremely motivated to succeed in her forthcoming examinations. Thanks to Greg's excellent teaching methods my daughter is more confident and understanding of her essay writing and text analysis, and is already improving on them.
Greg is a friendly, knowledgeable and passionate tutor. He is very dedicated, spending much of his own time preparing for sessions, as well as giving valuable help and feedback outside of these sessions whenever Lara needs it.
I would highly recommend Greg as a tutor.
Lara's place at Exeter University is now confirmed! Her English grade went up from a B to an A* and her Classics grade went up from a C to a B! A huge thank you, Greg, for all you have done in helping her to achieve this! She is over the moon."
- Do you have a personal message for students?
- As ranked by several online websites, I am currently rated as the best English Literature tutor in the UK; my methods are unique and unpracticed by any other tutor on the market, and combined with my long track record of producing excellent results and my high level of current up-to-date academic knowledge in the field, I would be happy to hear from you about your specific needs and requests and I will do my best to help you in any way I can.
For parents, some information below about how I can work with you throughout the tuition process:
I offer unparalleled premium tuition services with original and proven methods to help your children show exam boards, teachers, academic professors, and future employers what they can do. Being able to write effective English is not only a skill beneficial for secondary education; it is a skill for life.
Around 70% of my tuition sessions are booked by parents on behalf of their children. My tuition is for a range of abilities, including:
- Students who have fallen behind in their subject or find the subject naturally difficult, often including those who have greater aptitude for the sciences and are taking English as a compulsory option
- Students who want extra help to augment their school lessons, often achieving fine grades in class but wanting extra help to cement their subject knowledge and skills in a way that is just not possible in large classrooms
- Students who are gifted at the subject, and want the help of a university academic with years of experience in order to go beyond secondary level education and really be challenged at an important stage in their intellectual development.
There is no need to travel, wait in the car, or take any time out of your schedule at all — all our tuition is one-on-one, online and text-based, requiring minimal technological aptitude on your part, but fitting in with students' modern text-based social media lives as a more natural form of English teaching than classrooms full of thirty or more students. And unlike the majority of English classrooms around the country, I am able to mark essays every week if submitted to me and provide in-depth feedback of the kind teachers simply do not have the time to complete any more.
Furthermore, on request, I can provide the following additional benefits to parents who book tuition for their children, at no extra charge:
- Liaising with your child's teachers, if their teachers agree to it, in order to provide better synergy between work completed at home and in the classroom.
- Schemes of work for private candidates and home-schooled students
- Authentication for several exam boards for A-Level private candidates
- Progress reports at pre-arranged intervals
- Supplemental work that parents can help their children complete, taking better advantage of the periods between tuition sessions and allowing you to become their mentor, alongside their classroom teacher and myself as their English tutor.

Breast Cancer Journey as a Graphic Narrative
Breast cancer is not easy, simple or just like everyone else's experience. It is unique, it touches every cell in your body and screams with all your emotions to pay attention and be present. Why are we making such light of this process as the numbers of women who have gone through the disease say, 'oh, I did that, you'll do fine'. Have we minimalized the pain, suffereing, medical interventions, loss of self and damage to the physical and spiritual body? Why is this becoming so ordinary?
Tina Martel is a visual artist and author of Not in the Pink which she has documented her personal journey with stage two B breast cancer. She tells all; from the moment of discovery of the lump through all the treatments with details that many are so afraid of writing about or even voicing. It is a raw book with details that we wished we did not want to ask as we are afraid of the answers, yet it is so important to know ahead of the process so that you may start your own healing with your thoughts and how your journey will play out.
This book is for those who are on any part of this path, for those who have loved ones on the path and even for those who are already on a different path as it is relatable and honest about Tina's life. Sometimes what isn't voiced is more scarey than what is. Take a risk and read this book with kindness and love in your heart for those who are on any health crisis journey.

Eighty-seven years after moving to Palmerston North, Betty Williams has received a welcome-to-the-city pack from the council.
"You've made a good decision to move here," reads the message from Mayor Jono Naylor.
The pack arrived at the 89 year old's address at Julia Wallace Retirement Village, where she has lived in an apartment for four years, while Mrs Williams was in hospital.
It contains, among other things, a couple of rubbish bags, some post cards and introduction-to-the-neighbours cards, information brochures and an invitation to morning tea with the mayor.
Daughter Brenda said the pack had given her mother something fresh to talk about after three weeks in hospital.
"It really did make her laugh."
But she was cross about the expense of putting the packs together and then posting them to the wrong people.
City council executive support general manager Jane Julian said she was appalled by the error.
The welcome packs have been sent out in some form to new ratepayers since the mid-1990s.
New residents are identified when solicitors send in a notice of sale for updating rates records. In most cases, council staff can easily identify if someone has simply moved within the city, or there has been a name change.
But Mrs Williams has not bought or sold a property for four years, since she moved to Julia Wallace. She is not a ratepayer, and has no need for rubbish bags.
Ms Julian was at a loss to explain why her name had popped up on the new residents' list.
"We feel that it remains important that Palmerston North is seen as a welcoming and friendly city. We would rather get it wrong occasionally, than not do it at all."
Mr Naylor said Mrs Williams' invitation to have a cup of tea with him would be honoured.
"If she is unable to get to me, then I will take morning tea to her."

Aga likely to send Sinndar off to stud
Tuesday 03 October 2000
In the aftermath of a major championship boxing bout, the loser invariably demands a rematch, but racing, sadly, does not follow the same set of rules. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday did not produce the set-to between Sinndar and Montjeu which many punters had hoped to see, with Montjeu running well below form in fourth, and it seemed unlikely yesterday that last year's Arc winner will ever get a chance to even the score. Indeed, it may be that both horses have now seen a racetrack for the last time.
In the aftermath of a major championship boxing bout, the loser invariably demands a rematch, but racing, sadly, does not follow the same set of rules. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday did not produce the set-to between Sinndar and Montjeu which many punters had hoped to see, with Montjeu running well below form in fourth, and it seemed unlikely yesterday that last year's Arc winner will ever get a chance to even the score. Indeed, it may be that both horses have now seen a racetrack for the last time.
There is no official word as yet about the future for either Sinndar or Montjeu, although John Oxx, Sinndar's trainer, reported that the colt had arrived home in good shape at his yard near the Curragh on Sunday night after an uneventful journey back from France, along with two stable companions including Namid, the winner of the Prix de l'Abbaye.
"They came back late last night, they travelled well and have all eaten up so that is a bonus," Oxx said. "It was a great day to win a second Group One race as well as the Arc, everything went well for the whole weekend in fact and it is great when it all works out. The Arc is a race everyone wants to win and it is good for a three-year-old to prove himself against older horses and add it to his two Derby wins."
As to whether Sinndar will stay in training, Oxx said: "No decision has been made and there are plenty of other considerations than those of the trainer." If previous form means anything, Sinndar will now return to the breeding operation which produced him, and set about the rewarding business of producing new generations of Classic winners for the Aga Khan. Sinndar was the Aga's fourth Derby winner, following Shergar, Shahrastani and Khayasi, all of whom were retired to stud at the end of their three-year-old season.
Disappointing though this would be for racegoers, the level-headed assessment of the Aga and his advisors will surely be that Sinndar has nothing left to prove, and if they waver in that opinion, they need only consider the example provided by the horse who struggled home in fourth two days ago. Despite winning the King George in a canter earlier this summer, Montjeu has not managed to produce any form this season to match his win in the Arc 12 months ago, and as such could end this campaign with a lower official rating than the 135 he achieved at three.
Nigel Gray, the BHB's senior handicapper, said yesterday that Sinndar's provisional rating has been raised by 4lb to 132 after Sunday's race. "It is a great shame Montjeu was not able to show his true form. If he had he may have pushed Sinndar to a higher rating than 132. Sinndar may be capable of a higher performance but so far he has not needed to."
Timeform, however, now rate Sinndar on 135. "There is some restriction on how high you can go," Chris Williams, one of Timeform's senior handicappers, said yesterday. "Horses like Daring Miss [seventh] and Russian Hope [eighth] tend to hold the form down. You can knock holes in most of Sinndar's form, but this is probably his best effort, and puts him on a par with St Jovite, who won the Irish Derby by 12 lengths and the King George by six."
While the last Derby winner is now seemingly ready for retirement, one of the long-range favourites to be the next is a possible runner at Ascot this weekend. Nayef, a 25-1 chance for Epsom 2001 with the Tote, is among the entries for the Autumn Stakes, a race which was won by his half-brother, Nashwan, in 1988. Nashwan, of course, went on to win not just the Derby, but the 2,000 Guineas, Eclipse and King George too.
Before that, there is the small matter of a jumps season to consider, and one man who will be anticipating it more than most is James Fanshawe. Though better known as a Flat trainer, Fanshawe won the 1992 Champion Hurdle with Royal Gait and has taken delivery of Hors La Loi III, last year's Champion Hurdle runner-up.
Fanshawe will be Hors La Loi III's third trainer in 18 months, following Martin Pipe and François Doumen. "I'm absolutely thrilled to be training him," he said. "The first obvious race for him is the Bula Hurdle."
* Atlantis Prince, unbeaten in four runs including the Royal Lodge Stakes for Sean Woods, has been bought by Godolphin.

Recent Tasting Notes
This is much better than the stuff you'll find in teabags but not quite as good as the chamomile I've had from Rishi and Arbor Teas. It just seems to be lacking a little something. Can't quite put my finger on it, but its missing that sweet chamomile flavor and tastes a bit stale. Although it was cheap and is a very drinkable tea, I wish I hadn't bought 100 g of it on Amazon.
Regardless, it is good though mixed with other teas and flavorings.
This was on my wishlist, and LiquidProust sent me the perfect sized sample of it! This is thank you #2.
The leaves themselves aren't purple, but for whatever reason, it comes to mind smelling and tasting it though the color is brown. It's a lot like polish, or stained wood. I'd maybe guess that the wood would be a cherry wood, because that's the best guess as to the hidden sweetness. There some creaminess to it, but more in texture than actual taste. This goes for the first steep. To liven it up, I added a little bit of raw sugar, and for me, the cherry and almost coffee berry note were disinterred from the earthy, smoke, woodsy body. Probably wouldn't be bad with cream, but I'm going for purity right now.
On steep two after four minutes, the tea is significantly smoother, and it's cherry wood to the fullest. Reminds me of a Halloween fog machine.
Steep three is a lighter version of steep two, but smoother. A little bit smokier to me than the other two, but I tasted some of it earlier in those steeps as well.
In summary, this is a very unusual roasted tea to me. It's got the same wood and earth character of darker oolongs, but with a cherry polish-the kind you would smell in an old ornate home or hotel.I think the taste should perhaps be close to a 80 in terms of quality, but I had a slightly biased expectation for coffee and sweetness. I expected the fishiness: I had a purple tea before and it tasted exactly like crab. I am really glad that I got to try it, and it is definitely worth trying. Not something I'd ever recommend to a newbie though; more for an adventurous taster.
Flavors: Cherry Wood, Earth, Musty, Smoke, Smooth
I will have to admit that having Art of Tea's purple 99% oolong has pretty much set the standard for what I look for in this type of oolong.
This doesn't seem to be as potent and therefore is not as fun to steep or drink. The leaf is a bit smaller than I would want and doesn't expand much, which is a look aspect but it does translate to the somewhat flavor flavor beyond the roasty'ness.
Then this must of been exposed to more 'air' or something… not playing around, I have a vivid memory of my experience with AoT's and even if it is the same then they were treated differently.
Thank you Liquid Proust for this sample!
Tasting #1 – Steep Time 2 Minutes
Has the aroma of a black tea, very light but smooth flavor. My mouth feels soft just drinking this tea.
Tasting #2 – Steep Time 4 Minutes
Now more earthy flavors are coming out, like cedar bark. My mouth still feels soft even though these flavors tend to be hard. Its an interesting balance that I'm enjoying.
Tasting #3 – Steep Time 7 Minutes
It smells very much like the kuki hojicha now. How do I describe such a smooth bite? Its very distinct and pleasurable to drink.
Tasting #4 – Steep Time 10 Minutes
Almost a metallic aroma now. Very hard flavors, like steam rising from rocks. Absolutely delicious.
I love this tea. I love how complex these flavors are and how they change. I love how these hard flavors give me the mouth feel of something lighter and creamier, like a milk oolong. I love that the longer it steeps the more of a bite I get but it goes down smooth. This is in no way a simple sharp tasting tea, this is carefully roasted so that the natural flavors of this tea can still come through without making you reach for a glass of water. I tend to prefer greener oolongs because I find the roasting process makes it difficult for me to continuously drink the darker oolongs unless I drink them cold. I'm not only amazed but very happy to drink this tea hot as I'm going on 20 minutes of continuous tasting now.
Flavors: Cedar, Earth, Metallic, Roasted, Wet Rocks
Got this tea in a swap with Amanda 'SoggyEnderman' Wilson! Oh goodness girl, I keep having to copy and paste your username because it's so long! XD Thanks for sending me this though!
This one wasn't my absolute favorite, but it wasn't bad. It had strong woody notes, as well as strong bready notes. I drank a whole cup and a half of it. It helped break up the milky/creamy notes in the ice cream oolong this morning. :P
Was the perfect contrast haha!
This tea wasn't super flavorful but it was decent. Not my favorite, but a pleasant cup of tea. I enjoyed drinking it. And I mean, I probably would have spent my own money on it one day but I am glad I didn't. Too much woodiness for me personally, but that's alright. It was a pleasant cup still and happy to have tried it through a swap. Thanks again! (:
Flavors: Baked Bread, Wood
Great tea! I bought this from Tealux via Amazon. When I opened the bag the smell was a little… Off putting to say the least! It smells like a leaf pile and trees, like the smell when you walk up to an Oak tree and smell it, not cut wood but living tree wood. I brewed this in a Yixing clay pot after rinsing once. At first the flavour surprised me, still pretty leaf pile, grassy, but smooth! A nice creamy aftertaste and not astringent at all. I infused one more time, and this time the flavours were much more subdued but the aftertaste was still quite astringent. Would definitely reccomend you to try!
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Creamy, Grass, Smooth, Wood
My best friend came over last night and we picked out five pretty high end teas to drink with this included. We only ended up drinking three because we resteeped this tea four different times. This is one sneaky tea,who would of known it was a black tea by tasting it?
Water at 205f poured right over these guys. The lychee is strong and last throughout the steeps.
Now I want to know where I can find me some black pearls without jasmine in them so I can start to play with them.
Have you seen these? They are very different and I have yet to see a tea like it. There is no gold strands in them, pure dark and very smooth with no cocoa or brisk flavor.
Which ones…? Price is important too because everything I buy for my company is 1kg which is why I buy direct now. All my findings have been the golden/black pearls that have cocoa notes to them which wouldn't work for a sweeter/fruitier
I didn't find them chocolaty
I'm unsure why I chose this tea out of everything I have available to me, but I did.
Tonight I am flooded by emotions and I fear they will keep me up. This weekend was great as I was able a good friend stayed for a few days. It has been 5 years since I have seen him… it was a clear reminder of how often I have moved throughout my life and how unstable my friendships are. Every few years it seems as if I am somewhere new and start to lose communication with old friends. Anyways, tea:
Tealux/Tealyra has been hit or miss with me so far. Thankfully this tea is a hit :)
The smell does not lead on to what is about to be tasted. This brews one smooth cup that would be classified as medium on a scale of light to dark. What makes this tea above 'good' is the mouth feel and how it goes down. Unlike a teiguanyin (or most of them that is) this tea warms up my body and I feel it from the mouth and down. Sensations linger in my mouth from the tea and I don't want to take another drink for a good minute to savor the feeling as it slowly fades.
I'll be looking for more oolongs like this.The stems with green leaves are the most beautiful as they have two full leaves on them and the dark brown ones look like burnt cabbage…
This brew is a melancholy visit to the marsh. The musty scent of wet, even boggy soil accentuates the essential woody flavor. Shorter steeps present the mellowly sweet, twiggy flavor, with a damp earthiness and smokey finish. The gentle smokiness smooths the liquor, while the rich, earthy taste is softened by malty flavor… Some floral notes are at play, but these are subtle, mostly dominated by the marshy dankness.
The tea is pleasant, but somewhat reserved with revealing flavor. After an entire bag, I don't feel as acquainted as I should. Using less leaf, about 1/4 the volume of the gaiwan, reduces the intensity of the malty flavor, and lingering fishiness. So, if you don't like fishiness, I would rinse for five seconds, or slightly more, and avoid using too much leaf!
Quite tasty, if you like the smell of woody marshes. I enjoyed it after meat.
A good casual tea, not very remarkable. It's also strongly stimulating, good for getting level-headed.
Flavors: Decayed wood, Floral, Malt, Musty, Smoked, Stems, Sweet, Wet Earth
Aw thanks guys. I love it when the tea fills my mind with sensations and brings me to a place in memory. I am always waiting for that experience of feeling elsewhere, usually in a beautiful natural environment.
Also, this site is really nice, and designed well. I haven't been in a forum like this before.
Matcha/Green TTB #2
Dang, this is a really dark matcha! I took this one out because of the color of it :)
This actually whisked really easy, maybe because it is a 2-go matcha? I don't know, I didn't read anything about this so I am unsure if it is one that is to be put in a canister and shaken or not.
Either way, this was nice brisk sip down down. I had to rewhisk this one though which was fun because the bottom was even darker than the matcha!
This one left a dry mouth feel that continued to my throat which I am not a fan of.
This is a fine, fine tea. It requires a load of leaf, and very, carefully cool water. Water that is too hot will scare off the flavor. Light, crisp, sweet, the flavor really grows on you after the first steep (or should). I enjoy the creamy honey sweetness. I think it plays on the grassy taste of the white tea.
Flavors: Creamy, Dry Grass, Floral, Honey, Summer, Wheat
A fresh, sweet and tangy pearl. This tea is very sensational, yet it is soft and temperamental. The jasmine scent is wonderful and satisfying! The taste is somewhat creamy and lemony.
Use very little leaf, a small amount of water, very low temperature, and shorter steep times (after pearls have began to unfurl and release their flavor).
Beware of bitterness. Don't use too many pearls, or steep for very long. Also, it is important not to burn or overcook these sensitive leaves.
Flavors: Astringent, Creamy, Cucumber, Floral, Jasmine, Lemon, Sweet, Tangy
This was a delicious, satisfying yellow tea for all its affordability. Crisp, sweet, mellow but pungent! A fine yellow tea. I would insist on a temperature no higher than 170. 160 is probably safer for the first steep. This delicate yellow tea requires very low temperature and a short 5-10 second initial steep, using a generous portion of leaf (filling half of cup or gaiwan). Too hot water, or not enough leaf, and the infusion will lack the sweet, pungent flavor and take on more vegetal and astringent tastes.
Flavors: Creamy, Honey, Melon, Nutty, Rainforest, Summer, Sweet, warm grass
I wish I had grabbed more of this during my last tea haul from TeaLyra (TeaLux in Canada, TeaLyra in the US). While I've been craving sweets like CRAZY, I've not been feeling up to super sweet teas. This naturally fragrant oolong fulfills my craving just enough. Although the big box of cookies helped too.
The strawberry note in this is quite subtle, and is more of a young strawberry fragrance with a creamy green oolong. The other review said it was more a milk oolong, but the unflavored milk oolong I've had from Tealux reminds me of raisin bread, so I respectfully disagree.
I've been making teapots after teapots of this stuff. That's how much I've been drinking it. And because it's not artificially flavored, I find that the strawberry scent lingers far longer. I've steeped the same 2tsp in a 24oz teapot at least 5 times and I could still detect the strawberry. It's quite pleasant hot and cool.
This might be the smoothest darker green type of oolong that I've tasted thus far. It reminds me a lot of the first oolong I drank which entered me into the world of tea slowly. I'm unsure what roman letters to align together in creation of English words to conclude remarks for this tea… I just really enjoy it.
Very green TGY that brews a light cup. The taste is mild but very clean. This would be a great cup of tea to sip on while walking through a flowery area since it wouldn't obstruct the senses from perception of beauty in nature, aka it's a nice tea to sip on while you walk.
I believe I like my TGY on the mild side or roasted so this is nice.
Holy Bergamot Batman!! hahaha, I saw this as an oolong earl grey, and I just had to have it. I am fascinated with the varieties of Earl Grey because of their diversity. This is definitely a unique one. I brewed this up as my morning cup in my press. The aroma was incredibly strong and refreshing. A sweet floral bergamont filled my tea room. The taste is spectacular. The oolong adds a light base in which the bergamont lies on top of. This is some powerful earl grey since the the bergamot is unaffected by a heady black tea. However, the jasmine was almost absent except for a slight grassy and floral undertone. This brew did the job for the morning cup, and I'm so happy to be able to try another Earl Grey!
Flavors: Bergamot, Buffalo Grass, Smooth

Useful Tips On The Use Of Credit Cards
Many people have felt the pressure of credit cards throughout the last century. If you are uninformed, credit cards can be very complicated. The following article has tips for those looking to become better informed about credit cards.
Try to keep at least two, but not more than three, credit lines open simultaneously. This helps improve your credit score, particularly if you can pay off the cards each month in full. However, if there are more than three cards to your name, a lender may think that's no good when looking at your personal credit bureau report.
If you see any suspicious charges, report them quickly. When you do that, you will give the credit company a good chance of making sure the thief is caught. This will also limit the risk of you being held accountable for their charges. It is fairly simple to report erroneous charges, either with an email or phone call to the credit card company.
Lots of credit card companies give bonuses for when you sign up for new credit cards. It is important to really understand the specific details buried in the fine print for actually getting the bonus. These terms commonly stipulate that must spend a given amount within a certain time-frame in order to qualify. If you don't think that you can meet the terms of the offer, it might not make sense to sign up for the card.
Set yourself a budget you can stick with. You should not max out your card just because a certain amount is available on your card. Know the amount you can pay off each month in order to avoid high interest payments.
Sign the back of your credit card as soon as you receive it to avoid fraudulent use. Many cashiers will check to make sure there are matching signatures before finalizing the sale.
Watch out for changes to the terms and conditions on your cards. Companies often come out with new terms and conditions, even more frequently than in the past. Oftentimes, the things that will affect you the most are written in legal language that can be difficult to translate. Weigh all the information and research what it means to you. Rate adjustments or new fees can really impact your account.
As was previously mentioned in the article, credit cards can be complicated and frustrating for a variety of people to deal with. By following good advice, it can become much easier to use credit. Take the advice you have read here and start managing your credit cards better today.

BASEBALL: LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES; From Beach to Bullpen Leader
By SAMANTHA STEVENSON
Published: October 6, 1998
Trevor Hoffman wanted to be a surfer when he was growing up in southern California, but he could not find a regular ride to the beach, so he concentrated on baseball.
That is a good thing for the San Diego Padres, because Hoffman's 53 regular-season saves -- tops in the majors this year -- propelled them to the National League West title, and his two saves in the first round of the playoffs helped them dispatch the Houston Astros and advance to the league championship series.
''I'm in a situation where individual accomplishments come through team success,'' Hoffman said the other day. ''Especially in my role. Unless the team is winning and does the work prior to the ninth inning, it's useless to have someone like me down there. I'm the final product of a well-played game by the rest of our guys.''
The right-handed pitcher is also a candidate for the league's Cy Young award. Others are Kevin Brown, the Padres starter; Shane Reynolds and Randy Johnson of Houston, and John Smoltz, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux of Atlanta.
Hoffman has been as good as automatic for the Padres, who play the Braves for the National League title beginning tomorrow night. His 53 saves came in 54 opportunities, and he had a 1.50 earned run average. He also won four games. In 72 innings, he allowed only 41 hits and struck out 85. Opponents batted only .167 against him.
In the playoffs he had two saves, striking out the side in the ninth inning of the Padres' Game 3 victory. He faltered in Game 2, giving up the winning hit to Billy Spiers.
''Trevor is the best-prepared player,'' said Dave Stewart, the Padres' pitching coach and the most valuable player in the 1990 and 1993 American League Championship Series. ''I think Trevor Hoffman is an m.v.p. candidate. You don't grow him once in a blue moon.''
Only four other pitchers have made the 50-save club: Bobby Thigpen had 57 for the Chicago White Sox in 1990, Randy Myers had 53 for the Chicago Cubs in 1993, Dennis Eckersley had 51 for the Oakland Athletics in 1992, and Rod Beck had 51 for the Cubs this year. Hoffman played shortstop and third base before switching to reliever in 1991 at Class A Cedar Rapids, and he is accustomed to the relief pitcher's place in the recesses of people's minds.
''The only time we get a whole lot of scrutiny is when we don't do our job, which is a lot of credit to our position,'' he said. ''If we do our job well, it rolls into the next game. If I don't do my job well, it takes a win from the ball club and takes the wind out of our sails.''
Over the years, Hoffman has developed a relief pitcher's equanimity and tough skin. ''This is a marathon,'' he said. ''Can't get too high or too low. It's easy to be negative. But you have to stand up for the way the game should be played and play your hardest.''
That is the how Hoffman has always played, since growing up the youngest of three brothers in Anaheim, Calif. Baseball was the family way: his father, Eddie, who died in 1995 at age 82, was known as the Singing Usher at Anaheim Stadium, and his brother Glenn was the interim manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers until last week. Glenn Hoffman, still on the Dodgers' coaching staff, played as a utility infielder for the Boston Red Sox, the Dodgers and the California Angels.
''All of the boys were only allowed to pitch when we were 12 years old and Little League was finished,'' Trevor Hoffman recalled. ''My dad didn't want anyone to abuse our arms. I had a strong family background and a lot of competition from my older brothers. I was constantly bugging them to let me into their games.''
Hoffman has what teammates call a closer's personality. He loves being a star, he is a leader in the clubhouse and he loves coming in with the game on the line.
His routine, whether he is needed or not, includes returning to the clubhouse before the fifth inning to polish his spikes, warm up his shoulder and stretch. Then he returns to the bullpen. When Padres Manager Bruce Bochy telephones for Hoffman at home games, the scoreboard lights up with his name and the heavy-metal music of AC/ DC's ''Hell's Bells'' blares, seemingly bringing energy to the stadium crowd and to Hoffman.
His teammates toss him the ball from the final out of each save, he records the date and score in black marker, and he puts it in a cupboard in his locker next to the pictures of his two sons, Brody Burke, 2, and Quinn Eddie, 1.
''Trevor's wacky,'' said Andy Ashby, a starting pitcher. ''A great comedian. A guy who has a closer's mentality. It's nice for a starter to know that in the sixth, seventh, eighth innings we have a solid bullpen, and in the ninth we have a guy who can win the game. It's security for us.
''He has fun with all of this. But he knows when it's time to come to play, and he's unbelievable. The perfect guy to be that locked-in mentally. The ninth inning is his time.''
Pitching Rotation Announced
By The New York Times
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 5 -- Padres Manager Bruce Bochy said today that he would start Andy Ashby against the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday. Kevin Brown will start Game 2 on Thursday and Sterling Hitchcock will go in Game 3 on Saturday, when the series moves to San Diego.
The Braves will open with John Smoltz, followed by Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, according to Manager Bobby Cox.
