Japanese Green Teas - Sencha, Gyokuro...and more,

Sunpu Boucha - 2010 1st Harvest Hon Yama Kuki-Hojicha
Got a little sample of this free with my latest Norbu order, and because I want to get to sleep early tonight, I figured a low-caffeine tea was just the ticket for my first taste of the new stuff. I very much enjoy a roasted toasted flavor in my teas, but the first genmaicha I tried was overwhelmingly toasty and not at all to my taste. I think this tea must be what genmaicha wishes it could be: warm toasty but also sweet and surprisingly, fruity!
I started with 2.4 grams of tea in my small gaiwans (about 75mL or 2.5 oz water per infusion), with water at 150 degrees. I used shorter infusion times than Greg recommends just because I'm a tea wimp and like most of my teas a little more dilute than average, and for the same reason I started on the lower end of his suggested temp range.
I started 30 seconds, then 15, 30, 45, 45. All infusions were warmly toasty, but not so toasted as to be bitter (in this very different than that genmaicha that I couldn't really enjoy at all). They were also sweet, and where I was expecting some vegetal flavors from the green leaf, something alchemical happened with the toasted stems transmuting it into fruitiness. Wonderful, odd, but wonderful. Very very nice. The sweet n' fruity faded with later infusions, but even at my fifth it was delicious (probably lasting so long because of my short infusion times).
This is a very nice tea.

from Norbu Tea
This is a sweet, nutty, vegetal sencha without the strong briny umami that I so often find offputting in more heavily steamed senchas and gyokuro.
The leaf is deep rich green, medium long fragments--not quite as long as the Sayamakaori from Yuuki-cha, but longer than my average Asamushi sencha, very sweet smelling, even a bit nutty.
2.5 grams of leaf in a small gaiwan, about 2.5 oz or 75 mL of tap water per infusion
1st infusion, 30 seconds
sweet, vegetal, nutty, very nice
2nd infusion, 10 seconds
vegetal, sweet, nutty--the nutty is a hint of astringency, I think, but not bitterness, and a hint of toasted/roasted flavor
3rd infusion, 45 seconds
again, the toasty, vegetal nuttiness, astringency, but light
a 4th infusion, 1 minute
still nutty, vegetal, now fairly astringent
The finished leaves are bright green, and moderately broken up, although I did fine one or two small whole leaves
I think part of the astringency is the brewing, here, because just for accuracy's sake, not really for comparison, I'm brewing up some of the Yuuki-Cha Sayamakaori sencha at the same time, and finding some of the same elements in it--not the roastedness, but more astringency than I'm used to. I think my leaf-to-water ratio is really not quite the same as in the kyusu. But I've got a pretty good idea that this is going to be a very nice sencha, and am looking forward to first proper session with the Tokoname kyusu.
Both with this and with another new green tea I tried this weekend, it's quite clear that despite attempts to control conditions, changes in brewing conditions for the purpose of doing these comparisons--brewing sencha in my gaiwans instead of my kyusu--sometimes distorts the results, because I'm moving outside my usual comfort zone.
A 2nd set of infusions, in the 5 oz kyusu with 4 grams of leaf, tap water 160 degrees at first, infusions 30", 15", 30"; raised temp to 170 degrees for 45 seconds and 1 minute infusions, worked out better, still some astringency but not as much.
This is a nice, vegetal nutty sencha.

It was lovely--a little sweeter, mellower, but still rich and vegetal. Very nice.

Yamakai Sencha - 2010 1st Harvest Shizuoka Sencha
One sniff and I'm already in love: the scent is sweet and rich. 5 grams of tea to my 150mL kyusu, prewarmed, water to 140 degrees per Greg's brewing recommendation.
Brewing 2 minutes first steep, throwing caution to the wind…and it is sweet and rich.
30 second 2nd steep, delicious and sweet, a bit astringent and nutty too.
For 3 steep, heating the water to 150, just to play a little more, and steeping 1 minute--similar to previous infusion, but a bit lighter in body and richness--really think it's done at 3.
I may play with it a bit more next time, because I am concerned that the very long first steep took a bit more of the punch that should have been left for the later steeps.
Overall, this is a lovely sencha. Without a head-to-head comparison, it's hard to rank it other than saying it's right up there with my top-tier senchas. Lovely for breakfast this morning with toast with honey-butter.

Uji Asamushi Sencha "Aoi" by O-Cha.com
Finally finished off the last of a 2010 packet of sencha, and have now started my first 2011 shincha:
Very deep green leaves, most fairly small pieces, sweet rich scent
between 5 and 6 oz water, 160 degrees in my Petr Novak kyusu, about 45 seconds first infusion
sweet, nutty, vegetal, lightly grassy, and delicate green color but can't judge that well against the blue glaze of the teacup
2nd infusion, 20 seconds, 160 degrees, very similar, some grassiness a little more prominent towards the end of the infusion
3rd infusion, 170 degrees, 30-45 seconds, sweet, vegetal, a little less nutty, sugar snap peas rather than asparagus
4th infusion, 170 degrees, 1 minute, sweet, light, astringency absent
There was a 5th, but I was too distracted to note much—it was 180 degrees, for about a minute, quite light and tasty.
Addendum: 2nd series of infusions, about the same setup, except I started lower, 145 degrees, working up to 180 at the sixth, still all delicious, perhaps even a little moore so than the first time. Nice that it's so flexible.
One sad note: my packet is 100 grams, so given my 2-4 times weekly sencha habit, it may not all be drunk while still 'shincha fresh'. And that would be sad. Will have to step up the sencha-brewing.
Posted 19 October 2011 - 09:53 AM
Opening the pouch, first notice a sweet rich scent, with hints of cherries & chocolate.
Preheated the kyusu (iron-rich clay, unglazed interior) for the 4 grams of leaf, typical sencha appearance of the dark thin pieces of leaf.
First infusion 160 degrees, about 30 seconds, pouring into my big chawan, lots of leaf bits come too—probably will strain the next infusion. Thick, silky, rich mouthfeel with sweet, delicate vegetal flavor, oh my. It is a little less leaf than I usually use in this 160mL kyusu, so the richness of the mouthfeel is surprising.
Really enjoying this one a LOT, now about the 5th infusion, and temp upped to 180 degrees for this infusion: it's still sweet, light, rich. A bit of astringency has crept in, and I probably should have kept this one a bit shorter.
One more infusion, 180 degree water, and about 1 minute infusion, and we're back to sweet, light, rich, with astringency retreating again into the background. I agree that this one is 'Supremely' good.

It is so cool that someone figured out how to use the leftovers to make something as bright and lovely as this.

I'm still officially agnostic re: matcha. Haven't yet had the 'aha!' moment that came so easily with oolongs and puerhs and white teas, and not so easily for green and black teas. It's too expensive to waste on 'meh' results, so until I can get to a matcha party with an expert and a selection of great matchas, I'll let the rest of you enjoy it and use my chawan for other teas.

Do you know if you prefer a lighter or darker steamed sencha--asamushi or fukamushi?

Definitely Matcha, I love em, with milk I use the powder and for the day I use leafs. I use to be drinking Coffees until green tea came by and at first i thought it was not economically but then quickly find out that I don't need as much tea to stay awake and energized as coffee (since tea slowly releases caffeine instead of giving shots like caffeine to the body like coffee does).
Love Matcha cappuccino, green tea beats coffee any day of the week :)

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The good news is that it doesn't look like there will be a "grand bargain" on taxes before the end of the year.
In his press conference Wednesday, President Barack Obama suggested that Democrats and Republicans agree to extend tax cuts for the middle class in time for Christmas shopping and tackle other issues in the new year.
That leads us to the bad news: The newly re-elected president still wants "comprehensive" tax reform. He wants a "big deal" on taxes and is "open to new ideas."
There aren't really too many new ideas out there, and to the extent it means big changes to individual income tax, comprehensive tax reform is a bad idea. There's nothing substantially wrong with our tax system except that the rates are too low to be sustainable.
As it stands now, our system of individual income tax is very progressive. Repeated OECD studies have shown it is one of the most progressive among industrial economies. See the OECD data.
Any effort to overhaul it is almost certain to make it more regressive — that is, increasing the tax burden for middle and lower incomes while easing it for high earners.
For instance, the proposal to cap deductions — the flavor of the week in Washington — is a particularly bad old idea.
For one thing, even though it's claimed that this will affect high earners more, it clearly won't hit them as hard as just raising the tax rates back to where they were under President Clinton, or the Republicans wouldn't be pushing it.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
It was a key piece of the tax proposals championed by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who, you will recall, lost the election.
Capping deductions will make it very difficult ever to raise rates again. The deductions are the way we ease the tax burden on the middle class. It is the way we use tax policy to encourage economic behavior.
It seems counter-intuitive to cap mortgage deductions and dampen home purchases just when we need a revival of the housing market to buoy the economy. Any form of cap on deductions is likely to bankrupt many charities.
No voter has asked for a cap on deductions or comprehensive tax reform. To the extent that substantial tinkering with our current system was proposed, it was rejected.
And yet, Obama seems willing to entertain this kind of proposal and some of those "centrist" Democrats, like Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota — you know, he who stalled and needlessly complicated the health-care reform — think it might be a good "bipartisan" solution.
In this political climate — and there is no evidence that the election has changed it — bipartisan usually means Democrats caving in to Republicans.

How do I go to FanExpo with my son without causing him to die of embarrassment?
Throw him in at the deep end: get him there and split.

Go with him and after getting in go our separate ways (letting him know where I plan to be so I can play 'Bank of Mom' as needed).
12 (66.7%)
Go with him, shadowing him at a respectful distance (being a little more readily available)
4 (22.2%)
Stay a bit closer, but ignore/pretend I don't notice him unless he approaches with intent.

FanExpo is on next weekend in Toronto. My 15 y.o. son would like to attend. Very much. Last year he went with his older brother (who is in his 20's). I said he could go this year as an early birthday present. The problem is, he is not prepared to go into the city by himself and it turns out
is available to go with him but

If you feel comfortable with it, I would advise letting him go do his own thing, with some set meeting times to check on him/be his money machine/satisfy yourself that he is okay. You may get there and find he wants you around, depending on just how big the thing is and how easily intimidated he is by huge events. I was surprised that when I took my daughter (at 19) to a fairly large con, she pretty much just hung out with me and was happy to do so (but then, I am a super cool parent
). People at these things tend toward the honest end of the human scale; they are all there to enjoy themselves with people they can more or less identify with, so you should have less to worry about in regard to safety. So I say let the baby bird test his wings a bit.
Unless, of course, you revel in embarrassing him. If that's the case, stick by his side, fix his hair and clothing, call him by silly nicknames that you would never use anywhere else, and talk about how cute the girls are and how he should go talk to them, even offering to do so for him. That could be a whole different level of fun. In fact, you should threaten to do these things no matter what you decide.
And if you can talk to Ron Perlman, tell him I think he's a great actor. And feel free to jump up and down a bit; it's a fan convention, after all.

I'd let him do his own thing until I'd lulled him into a false sense of security, then wait until he was talking to a pretty girl and suddenly show up with "Oh hi I see you've met my son, isn't he just the most adorable little thing!!!"

My dad took me to my first sci-fi convention. He didn't embarrass me. Hell, he was the one who was lost and confused, not me. I ended up introducing him to a lot of different things that weekend. Suffice to say, the man was not a "fan".
Since you are a fan, Newt, I echo the other responses: Give the kid as much free-roaming as he can handle. Within reason, let him decide what he wants to do. Ask him to check in with you if there are any scheduled events he wants to attend (so you'll know where and when, and so you can go if it interests you).
And tell him cosplay girls are for looking, not touching.

Fan conventions in general are an "all ages" affair, so the stigma of being there with your parents is much lessened. It's not like he's having to get you to drive to a club.
I voted for #3, but I'd pretty much let your son take the lead on this one (within reason). If he wants to stick with you or if he wants to do his own thing, either way works. I'd keep track of his physical location, but I'm sure you'd be doing that anyway. Whatever happens, you'll get to enjoy yourself because fan conventions are a lot of fun.
Of course, another option is to go in full-on cosplay that he doesn't know about and stalk him like a ninja. Something to consider.

I liked the idea of going with him then parting with a meeting place set up. I don't know who is more embarrassed by their parents,teenage boys or girls. I know my own daughter seemed pretty flaked out by me when she was 15.....luckily,she has gotten into comics and sci fi and monster movies now. Though I still manage to embarrass her....so good for me.
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

I'd say that Derf's advice is the best...let him be who he is and give him his space save for the necessary things, like establishing meeting places and time limits and such. He might find a new confidence knowing he handles such a big thing mostly by himself save for the necessary parental guidelines.
One thing I can tell you though, is watch out, because you yourself might become a fan girl and the next thing, you'll be the one getting lost in the comic\model kit dealer rooms spread all over the place.
I speak from experience (not about becoming a fan girl, but getting lost in the experience)
Above all, have fun! These tings don't come along too often.

I agree with Trace, and I often go out of my way to embarrass our daughter.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?
The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

At 15 he should be independent enough to go his own way and just meet you now and then. I'd suggest giving him funds for food and whatever spending cash is reasonable. If he runs into something outside of that, then talking to you about the want to spend more would be required.
The only reason I would recommend you even being around the area is that he is going alone, and even adults benefit from using a buddy system when doing anything.

Peek has gone as far as to say that their own Internet only mobile devices are actually collectors items, and are not common everyday tools. The Indian smart phones including the MicroMax Q80 EZPad are being touted as some of the best gifts in the Indian region. The devices have smart phones similar features that run through cloud-based software. The site has also claimed that the hardware will run on any device through the cloud, and will allow for e-mail, instant messaging, video chat as well as social networking and Web browsing. These are all features that are commonly associated with smart devices.
Although they might be overrating the device on the whole, the fact that it does come with all of these features is nice for those that choose to use them. Most would not consider the Peek devices to be any sort of collector's item, but they are definitely going to be an item that people will want throughout India. The features that they have are reminiscent of a smart device, but the fact that they are not a phone means that you will not have to pay the same types of charges for the device.
It will be interesting to see how users in the India area respond to the release of these devices. The service will be able to run on any piece of hardware, which means that you will be able to utilize it with your computer in the same way that you would be able to utilize it with your smart phone. It will also be able to utilize the features without having to connect a smart phone, which is highly popular among users and could potentially lead to more development of the technology. They are not the first company to release this type of technology, but they have definitely made it a mainstay within their business.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked cell phone such as unlocked Nokia E71-2, Nokia C3, etc..

Comments about Hohner Bravo III 72 Accordion:
Even tho' this accordion was listed as slightly used, it is just like new. I love the tone of a Hohner and have always wanted one. This was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up.

Comments about Hohner Bravo III 72 Accordion:
Great little accordion for stroller or backup instrument for the money invested. Description in the add was accurate and I would buy from this company again. I have accordions that I paid 10 times this much...not bad at all.

Hohner Bravo III 72 Accordion
Well, I've never owned an accordion before and this was my first foray into accordion purchasing and playing, but so far I'm happy. For the interest of other beginners, I'm a 5'8" 140 lb woman, and this is probably about as big as I can comfortably handle and play. I was contemplating trying the 80 or 96 bass but that would have been a mistake :-) For most beginners, even if you're bigger, I think this would be appropriate. If you're a beginner it's going to be a while before you feel like ripping around on all 120 bass buttons so you may as well start with something smaller and more affordable.
I think the tone's nice, the straps are ok although you can tell they were trying to use less-expensive materials (the buckles and compression straps feel pretty cheap), I'm happy with how the bellows feel, the case is quite well-made (it has backpack straps which makes it marginally less awkward to lug the accordion around), and I recognize that I was buying a cheaper accordion so I would say this is reasonably good value for what I got. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. I may replace the straps or at least the buckles on the straps at some point.
I love playing this instrument. I'm having a ridiculous amount of fun.
Comments about Hohner Bravo III 72 Accordion:
I have owned this accordion for 3 years. For the price, it is outstanding. It is rugged and has always worked perfectly. It has a musette, bassoon and clarinet reed which sound good. Even the Hohner gig bag is well-done. I bought it for the light weight and inexpensive cost. Musette is perfect for Dr. John-type New Orleans music. The bassoon works well for jazz. All-in-all, I use it more than the more expensive and heavier accordions I have. The bass is quite good as well.
Comments about Hohner Bravo III 72 Accordion:
I bought this instrument about 1.5 years ago. I like the quality of the sound from the reeds, but the volume is a bit poor. I've had a lot of problems with valves that play more than one note at the same time. The snaps that hold the bellows broke. The valve selectors that control the Stradella bass buttons don't function at all; they're stuck on 1 setting. All of these issues arose after only 3 months. I know Hohner makes some fine products, but I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't buy this instrument again.
Comments about Hohner Bravo III 72 Accordion:
I purchased this accordion, and after a week of playing it, returned it. There were reeds that did not respond properly, others out of tune. One reed was so flat, that I believe that it was about to break. Quality control is apparently not important in this line of Hohner accordions.The keyboard had the feel of a low end synthesizer. There was a constant growl in the bass section, not just when a button was released. The reeds are very stiff, requiring a lot of air to make them sound. They don't have many overtones, so the sound is dull and lifeless. The tremelo and master settings are ok, but the single reed stops (clarinet and bassoon) sound thin and weak.I purchased this accordion to have something small and light for portability. It just isn't worth the price for what you get. Better to put the money toward the purchase of a good instrument.

|Very long hike in Wild Basin with Steve and John. Went up Copeland via Ouzel Lake, traversed to Ogalalla and Elk Tooth, then back down to the trailhead via Pear Lake trail. Really liked the ridge from Ogalalla to the saddle with Elk Tooth, reminded me of the Gore. The Elk Tooth side wasn't as much fun, a little loose.

|Traversed from Elk Tooth to Sawtooth over this summit. The ridge from Elk Tooth to Ogalalla was fun for the descent to the saddle, but I found the ascent of Ogalallas east ridge to be very unpleasent. Tons of talus leading to a short but fun scramble to the summit. I finished with the upper portion of Dalkes Coulior. RT 7:20 from Coney Flats.

Since then he began Inception, 500 Days of Summer, G I Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Mysterious Skin, Manic, The Lookout, Lincoln, Brick, The Dark Knight Rises, Hersher, Premium Rush, and 50/50. It was in 2004 when Joseph founded online production company called hitRECord. He has also hosted TV series of his own since 2014, January. In the year 2013, he made his debut as a director and screenwriter for a feature film called Don Jon that was a comedy film starring Gordon-Levitt as well.

One thing The Show does that drives me crazy is, frankly, there are a lot of foul balls in this game. It's something I'm going to be looking into in greater detail once I get some data back from actual major league games. But it could simply be that it's easy to throw pitches inside the strike zone, and foul balls are therefore more common because the pitch is in reach.
But it's built up to the point that, when I do strike out a batter, especially looking, I feel as much satisfaction as I do relief that the guy simply didn't swing. After thinking on it, I took that thought to Curt Schilling over Twitter. Schilling is the founder of 38 Studios, which recently released Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. He's also a six-time Major League Baseball all-star pitcher, and three-time world champion. Schilling has really aspired to transparency and response in his new role, so it wasn't too surprising when he replied.
For some reason, it struck me as a little profound. And I think it may point to the fact that, in your early years, you don't know the hitters in the minor leagues because they're all bot characters. I may be leaving things in areas where they can foul them off or drive them and just not know it.
So I look forward to getting myself to the major leagues, where I do know more of the hitters, and working 0-2 or 1-2 counts on them. With any luck, I'll be the only one participating in the at-bat.

Author Pen Name: Beth Fehlbaum
CA: What genre(s) do you write? Why do you write the stories that you write?
BF: My debut novel is considered YA fiction but it will appeal to wider audiences because of its subject matter and the sheer number of people affected by the main theme, recovery from sexual abuse. It also deals with issues common to everyone, such as censorship, bullying, tolerance, diversity, forgiveness, hope. Most of all, it's about finding freedom through living in the light of truth..even when it's not an easy thing to do.
The reason I wrote Courage in Patience was to give hope to people who are struggling with things that feel too big to deal with, too scary to make it up and over that mountain. To let them know that they're not alone.
CA: When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
BF: I cannot remember a time that I wasn't a writer. It's like breathing to me. I know what you mean; writing is hard work and becoming published is definitely hard work. But I would be writing even if nobody else read it but me. It's something I HAVE to do, an itch I have to scratch.
CA: Who or what was your inspiration for writing?
BF: A need I felt down to the marrow of my bones to get the thoughts out of my head and see them on paper, try to make sense of them in black-and-white. A friend of mine suggested to me that I ought to try writing a novel, and I stopped-and-started for a few months, then when it started flowing, that was it, it just came out.
CA: What is your work schedule like when you're writing?
BF: I'm a middle-of-the-night writer. I've just about resigned myself to the fact that my next book will, in all likelihood, be born in the middle of the night, so I suppose that means I'll be working on it most in the summer, since my day job is teaching.
CA: Your book is about to be sent into the reader world, what is one word that describes how you feel?
BF: Hopeful.
CA: What was your biggest challenge in writing your book(s)?
BF: Getting started. I knew what I wanted to say but getting it to come out was a challenge. I had to overcome my fear.
CA: What do you like to do when you're not writing?
BF: I'm a language arts teacher of children whose first language is Spanish, and I love my job. I've always taught English and I love working with kids, so during the school year, when I'm not writing, I'm teaching.
In my free time, I like reading, working on my physical endurance-- I aspire to be a distance runner; spending time with my family and laughing a lot, and music-- all kinds. But I have a special place in my heart for folk music by singer-songwriters like Chuck Pyle, Eliza Gilkyson, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Steve Seskin, Tom Russell, Jackson Browne, and Stephen Allen Davis, among many others. I very much admire and respect their gift. I use their music to teach my students English, to help them grasp the deeper meaning and appreciate the beauty that is figurative language. Last year my students especially loved Chuck Pyle's music. They wrote to him, invited him to come to our school, and offered to feed him authentic Mexican food. He not only took them up on their offer of lunch, he even performed a concert for the whole school! It was one of the most awesome moments of my career as a teacher, showing my kids that they could have a dream and it could come true.
CA: How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
BF: Courage in Patience is my first novel, and I think it will always have a special place in my heart.
CA: Do you tend to base your characters on real people or are they totally from your imagination?
BF: Like any writer, I draw on my own experiences and people I've known to some extent, and the rest is imagination.
CA: Do you have any advice for the aspiring writers out there?
BF: JUST WRITE. Let the thoughts flow from your mind, right down your arm, and come out your fingertips. Don't let your fear of "not doing it right" or "not being perfect" keep you from trying. Just do it. Let it come.
CA: How can a reader contact you or purchase your books?
BF: Courage in Patience is available online through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Chapters, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Independent Publishers Group, and also through brick-and-mortar stores like Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc. Librarians can order it through their wholesalers, too.
Readers can e-mail me, and also visit my websites:
Courage in Patience, MySpace, Kunati Blog, Beth Fehlbaum, and Kunati Page
CA: Is there anything you would like to add?
BF: I am very interested in hearing from my readers of all ages, as well as corresponding with schools and English classes. So, teachers and librarians, contact me if you'd like to take me up on the offer!

Businesses in Castle Country are joining the bandwagon for Price City's Play Unplugged program and this summer kids in the area will be having great fun collecting the Brag Badges and prizes that will be offered up for participating.
The program, paid for by the city and participating businesses, is set to get kids unplugged from their video games and televisions and out doing things in the community. It will also offer a lot of reasons why families can do things together and get rewarded in many ways for doing them.
In May, the Sun Advocate will be including a list of events, venues, activities and places where young people can go and learn something, in the papers Recreation and Vacation Guide that comes out every year. A special section will be inserted in the magazine that will list all that is available.
Then when kids and their families participate by going to one of those places, they can come to the local business that is sponsoring that venue and get their Brag Badge. Those Brag Badges will be valuable during the summer as prize drawings and other events will take place.
At the end of the summer some grand prizes will be awarded for those that have collected the most badges.
The Sun Advocate is acting as the agent for the city in the program, asking businesses to join and helping with the events. One of the things the paper wants to do is publish photos of kids and families at the various venues on the list. The paper is asking that participants take photos of themselves at the venues and submit them with written information to the paper. Then we will publish as many as is possible in the paper during the summer.
Businesses that buy into the program get to have people coming in their doors to collect the Brag Badges. And of course because of their support, Price City is looking for local people to support the local businesses that join up to pay for the cost of the badges.
In May a promotional crew will go around to various schools in Carbon County and an assembly will be held for the students so they can understand the program and how it will benefit them.
Businesses already signed up to sponsor Brag Badges include Tony Basso GM, Castleview Hospital, Sutherlands, KOAL Radio (Paul and Ann Anderson), KUSA, Tony Basso ATV, Main Street Grill, Coldstone, Farm Bureau Insurance, Eastern Utah Credit Union, Mountain America Credit Union, the Price Police Department, BEH Communications, Office, Etc., Cut Above, Carbon County Chamber of Commerce, Supreme Muffler, Ultra Lube, Fitness World, Absolute Compassion, Bills Home Furnishings, Bicycle Werks, The Tuscan Events Center, A Pawn and Loan Shop, East Carbon City, the Sun Advocate and Price City.
Price Unplugged also has a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Priceunplugged.

We've always been able to launch our own server, the problem now is no one is going to fill the games. The australian servers atm are; about 1 unpaid server up that people are continually leaving/joining because of the map selection, and a few paid servers with 1-4 people in them. What a wonderful improvement of the usual 2-3 public servers almost full.
Clearly sync was talking about other regions than Australia.
does this Make SyncError the Ben Bernanke of Quakelive?08:48.36 <SyncError|home> PqO, our player counts were up today, and so were our sales.
08:48.48 <SyncError|home> So many may want to say people are leaving, the numbers don't support that at all atm.
yes, let's "believe" the person who has the most to gain by posting impressive numbers for his service, ignoring nuances obvious to those who have a background in the basics of supply, demand, and markets, instead of looking to actual data. he's like an oracle to you guys, isn't he?! I suggest The New York Times update their "hero" cover page.No, don't believe the person that can read the numbers...that'd just be silly.
(holy crap, I forgot about The Iraqi Information Minister.. man, time flies.)

Haha, poor standard players. You play for free, so this is what you get. Deal with it.
Suggestions: Premium players should be allowed to vote maps on standard server. Just to annoy standard noobs and feel even more superior than we already are.
"Wise" ID!
What is your purpose? Kill the game?! Well you move towards! Fewer players from time to time and find this **** out?
I paid for the game and I still can not change map (public server). What a joke!
The best players are offline! If those ideas are even more players will be offline!
The ping is bad .de servers! Germany, the center server, everyone would play there, because everyone there the best and the ping was bad?
All another .de server is 18ms for me, this is only not. What a joke! Give me 18 ms for ql
Their purpose is obvious, free players at non youtube user numbers do not cover the costs of the game, subscribers are not actually using the servers they have access to which is bad PR for subscribing and they *need* that to work to continue or we ALL lose the game.

not only do people not pay but little is left will go elsewhere! I pay for this game! And now I can not choose the maps that I liked! You change the conditions of play and I do not agree I will see my lawyer to attack you because I no longer the same benefits as before!
you still have all the options listed sold to you when you bought them on the servers you paid for (premium).
the standard serves run under the standard settup for all players on them, they can't limit their use for standard players and let premium players circumvent those restrictions for standard players, there has to be a distinction.

The Missouri legislature is undertaking the challenge of reforming the state's workers' compensation law. Earlier this month the state senate held a hearing and witnesses testified regarding proposed changes to the law. Making its way through the legislature is Senate Bill 572, which proposes some radical changes to the existing workers' compensation system. The act proposes that all occupational diseases be covered by workers' compensation laws. The act also attempts to protect co-employees from liability for acts that are not purposeful. As such, if a co-worker's negligence is responsible for the injury and/or death of another employee, the co-worker will not be held personally liable.
The bill provides significant advantages for employers because it limits the use of the second injury fund. A second injury fund is one where employers pay a flat rate into the fund. It allows employers to hire individuals with disabilities and preexisting diseases. If the employee is injured on the job, the employee is compensated out of the second injury fund. The standard workers' compensation fund is financed by a variable rate charged to employers, which is based on the probability that an injury will occur in their workplace.
Because of this difference in funding, employers are attempting to push more of their cases into the second injury fund to avoid paying the higher rate charged by the standard workers' compensation fund. The second injury fund has been completely liquidated and is now in debt. The fund currently owes more than $100 million in claims to injured employees. The new bill limits which types of preexisting conditions and disabilities will have access to the second injury fund. The act no longer allows claims for permanent partial disability against the second injury fund and only allows claims for permanent total disability when three conditions are met: 1) there exists a medically documented preexisting permanent disability caused by military duty or a preexisting permanent partial disability; 2) the preexisting disability equals a minimum of 50 weeks of compensation according to the medical standards that are used in determining compensation; and 3) a subsequent work-related injury occurs and, when combined with the elements of the prior injury, results in permanent total disability.
It is easy to see why some of the individuals who testified at the hearing were upset. Some people view this new bill as a way of giving employers a free ride and not holding them accountable when there are injuries in the workplace. The Missouri AFL-CIO has come out against the bill, saying that "All we're looking for is a fair shake when we are injured in the place where we work. We are not looking to break our employer."
Should this measure pass, it will be more difficult for injured workers to receive workers' compensation benefits in the future. An experienced Missouri injury attorney will provide you with the representation you need to fight for the benefits you deserve. A skilled St. Louis personal injury attorney is required to navigate the confusing codes and legal pitfalls. Contact Sansone / Lauber today for a free initial consultation at (314) 863-0500.

I'm your standard Java/Oracle developer at a large software firm and Eclipse 3.6 is what I spend most of day in. Java is incredibly verbose and that can be painful (but we don't need another blog post explaining this), but Eclipse eases a lot of that pain with one-click renaming, auto-completion, dynamically adjusting your classpath, etc.
I cannot imagine trying to do my job without a tool like Eclipse at my disposal. So for those of you who were around before my time, what was it like? The disadvantages are obvious, but were there any advantages?

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Dow Jones Industrial Average components McDonald's Corp. and United Technologies Corp. both had above-consensus profits to report to investors Wednesday, another busy day on the earnings front.
McDonald's MCD, -0.18% much in the news lately amid concerns about slowing same-store sales, registered 2% revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2012, to $6.95 billion.
The fast-food company's net profit came in just shy of $1.4 billion, up from $1.38 billion in the final three months of 2011, as earnings per share rose to $1.38 from $1.33. The consensus of analyst estimates had been for Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's to earn $1.33 a share for the latest quarter; there were 2% fewer weighted average shares outstanding compared to a year earlier.
However, questions about sales growth remain: Management said its expects "negative" global comparable sales for January. Read more on McDonald's.
Hartford, Conn.-based United Technologies UTX, +1.10% fresh off its Goodrich acquisition, had net income of $2.06 billion, including more than $1.11 billion from discontinued operations, in the fourth quarter.
Profit from continuing operations of $1.04 a share fell from $1.42 a share in the year-earlier quarter, as sales increased to $16.44 billion from $14.38 billion.

Buy early, buy often...
One of the club's big initiatives during the 2014 season has been the Pub to Pitch bus program. As the season continues gathering pace, the club has experienced a rise in demand for bus tickets. As a result, all supporters are encouraged to purchase their bus tickets at least three days in advance of each matchday in order to guarantee a seat on the round trip bus to Fire games.
"The goal of the Pub to Pitch program is to help sell out the stadium every game in order to provide an advantage for our boys on the field," said Fire Senior Vice President Mike Ernst. "Given our stadium location, we want to offer our supporters a convenient option for transportation to and from the match.
"Because we sold so many tickets so early, we were really happy to be able to run a second bus for The Atlantic and The Globe Pub route last Saturday. I think it is a harbinger of things to come regarding growth of the program, so be sure to reserve your seat early to guarantee a spot on the bus."
We want to see multiple buses running from each of our partner bars in the city every matchday. In short, if you're planning on coming out to the next home game on Sunday, May 18 vs. Sporting KC, buy your ticket now and encourage your friends to do so as well.
As an extra bonus, those that buy a Pub to Pitch ticket for next Sunday by 11:59pm CT tonight will be entered to win a limited edition Pub to Pitch scarf! See below:

If you're any type of soccer nerd, you may know the record for most lopsided defeat in a FIFA national team match match came on April 11, 2001 when an Australian side pushing to move outside of the Oceanic Football Confederation made a point by defeating tiny American Samoa 31-0.
Needless to say, the defeat brought large embarrassment to the tiny U.S. territory whose population is just a hair over 55,000.
Enter former D.C. United, Toronto FC and U.S. U-20 coach Thomas Rongen who threw connections with the U.S. Soccer Federation took the reigns for American Samoa during OFC qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The Dutchman worked wonders by leading the small nation to its first ever international win when they defeated Tonga 2-1 in their opening match of qualifying.
American Samoa tied their second match 1-1 vs. Cook Island and narrowly missed advancing out of the group, falling to Samoa 1-0 in the 89th minute of their final match.
While the side didn't advance, cameras followed Rongen throughout his short stint leading the team and made the movie "Next Goal Wins" which recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival.
This is where you come in... There will be a local screening of the film at the Regal Gardens 7-13 in Skokie on Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30pm. In order for it to happen, the theater needs RSVPs by the end of the day Wednesday.

Racist chants and actions are nothing new in the world of soccer.
And while different campaigns and the simple spectre of time have helped a great deal in stampinig out racism in the game, shameful incidents do still occur.
See Barcelona's game this weekend at Villareal. Trailing 2-1 in the 76th minute, defender Dani Alves was set to take a corner kick when a banana was thrown just in front of him. Rather than ignore the act, Alves picked up the banana, ate a piece and took the corner kick... See below:
Barcelona went on to win the match 3-2, with the tying tally coming off an Alves cross that deflected for a Villareal own goal.
Remembering last summer when Ghanaian international Kevin Prince-Boateng faced down racist chants by walking off the field in a friendly for AC Milan, do you think Alves' reponse to racism was more effective?
Whether you like having just a few libations with some of the club's most ardent supporters, enjoy the beautiful landscapes of rural Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, or just really like seeing the Chicago Fire play away from home, Section 8 On Tour Bus Trips (#S8OT) have something for everyone.
Returning this year, the Independent Supporters Association is offering all Fire supporters an away season ticket, which guarantees round trip bus fare and match tickets for this season's Fire away games in Columbus (May 24), Kansas City (July 6) and Toronto (August 23) for just $200.
While the execution of an Away Season Ticket isn't something new to Section 8 Chicago, it does return for the first time in a number of years because of the way the MLS schedule fell for the club's three closest away trips according to ISA Chairman Jeff Marinacci.
"The stars aligned for us," he told Chicago-Fire.com this week. "When we saw the schedule, having Toronto on a summer weekend makes it an easy sell. Though Columbus or Kansas City are good road games, Toronto just offers so much more, the trip is worth doing outside of just going to watch a match."
- PURCHASE: 2014 Section 8 Chicago Away Trip Ticket
Toronto nightlife no doubt has more to offer than Kansas City or Columbus but what Marinacci is referring to is the fact that the past few seasons, the team has played away in Toronto at midweek in September, making it difficult to coordinate a strong contingent of Fire supporters to travel by bus.
This year the Columbus and Toronto trips both fall on Saturdays, while the Kansas City trip falls on the Sunday of Independence Day weekend making the travel much easier all around.
As they do on all buses, Section 8 Chicago is subsidizing an additional $35 per person on the 2014 Away Season Ticket on top of the $50 subsidy provided for individual bus travel to these matches.
"Our commitment to spending our money is to support the guys on the field home and away," he said.
A great deal no doubt, not what if someone buying can only make it on one or two of the trips instead of the full complement of three? Marinacci said that while there is no partial away season ticket (and no refunds), the ISA will accommodate ticket transfers as coordinated through firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now through mid-May (when bus tickets for the Columbus trip will cut off), Section 8 Chicago is in a heavy push to sell the Away Season Ticket for the year. As part of that push, the ISA will be raffling one off during Saturday's Watch Party at A.J. Hudsons.
Next Saturday, the ISA will raffle off a second Away Season Ticket, purchased by the Club, at their tailgate in the north lot prior to the Chicago Fire/New England Revolution match.

Outside a bar at halftime, one team was up a man and four goals. The crowd outside was split, not between teams but between ideals. Who would go back to watch the second half? It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the beginning of spring and a few of us wanted to go sit in a park. The game was all but over. But for some reason, everybody followed one guy back in, back to their seats at the bar. "It's part of the contract," he said. "It's what we do."
What contract? It's the contract we sign as fans. The contract to watch and be a part of the sport in America. But what responsibility do we have to the game? What do we owe it? Are we ever allowed our Saturday afternoons?
My annual fan contracts have evolved over the years with regards to the Fire and the sport of soccer in general. Whereas I used to sign up for the atmosphere, or the results themselves, now I sign for the athletics, the ideas, and the story of the competition. Sometimes, I even take my Saturday afternoons soccer-free.
I don't have to sing or cry anymore. I salute those fans, those who sign the emotional fan contract. They're stronger than I. They're the ones singing at Toyota Park against Red Bulls in the cold. They're the ones proving the word fan comes from fanatic. They're the ones spending hours upon hours on tifo or travelling all over the country, dealing with airports and buses and Kansas City. Those fans carry the club. They're as much a part of the team as the players.
- TIFO TIMELAPSE: The work put in to create home opener tifo
But then, I'm not one of them. I'm a different kind of fan. I'm a supporter, in the true sense of that word. I want the team to do well and I want to support it towards its goals. My contract with the team is to be a part of that progression.
Nowadays, that supporter contracts costs me two things: my money and my time. I pay to watch the games and I give my time to watch and read about my team.
But as a supporter, I can't stand the occasional debates about who the "real" fans are. They're tiresome. The truth is that it's simply difficult in MLS to figure out the "right" way to support your team. Young, and comprised of mostly young organizations, it's a unique league in the world of soccer. Doesn't it come with a different kind of contract for us to sign now as fans, supporters, consumers, and participants?
In MLS, there is for us American soccer fans the first chance in a generation to support our local team. Our team in our city. Our contract with the league and our team in the league is about something bigger. It's about the idea of growing something that is ours.
Our participation, now, is the basis of American soccer.
It's in that umbrella of growth, that fungal tarpaulin, under which we all stand together. Hipster craft beer MLS fans, soccer moms, whatever. We all struggle with our responsibility, caught between fandom and supporterdom, between Saturday afternoons and the bar - but that's ok. That's part of the uniqueness of our American soccer contract. We get to carve out our own relationships with the team and the league. Like a cartoon rumble, we define it as it defines us, and we roll together down the hill.
Some of us will go to the stadium once a year for the tailgate while others go every week out of unshakeable loyalty to the badge; some of us will go to see a new tactical development while others want to see a guy they played against in high school - the point is that we're all there. Supporters and fans, side by side.
In the end all the arguments about MLS fans are pointless because there is only one way to watch the game. It's the way that makes you want to watch, follow, and maybe buy a shirt or a ticket. That's the way we build this thing - so go and find your way.

After a lackluster performance last weekend out in LA, the Fire are in Portland for what should be a much sterner test against a Timbers team unbeaten in home regular season play for over a year (1:30pm CT on My50 / TWCWI). The Timbers will also be looking to avenge the 2-2 draw in the team's only meeting last season where a brilliant Fire comeback left Caleb Porter seething. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
A tweak in formation option A: Packing the midfield
Against a Portland team playing their usual 4-3-3 formation, a safer option for the Fire, especially away from home, is to play another holding midfielder alongside Jeff Larentowicz in an attempt to pack the midfield. Portland rely on late runs from players like Will Johnson and another holding midfielder would ensure the Fire would be able to track these runs more effectively.
Logan Pause would be the prime candidate to partner Larentowicz in the engine room. Portland always look to get playmaker Diego Valeri on the ball and rely on his through balls to create many of the team's chances. Pause and Larentowicz read the game extremely well and are masters at intercepting the kind of balls Valeri will be looking to play.
This option requires that the Fire drop one of its attacking players, which in this case could be Chris Rolfe who is battling an injury. The approach could be seen as a negative one, but playing against a team unbeaten at home for over a year and one that scored the third highest amount of goals in the league last season, the Men in Red also need be realistic.
A tweak in formation option B: Eliminating the target striker
A more progressive option for the Fire this weekend would be eliminating the target striker completely in favor of a smaller and quicker attack. This move would see Juan Luis Anangono, a player isolated during large stretches of last weekend's match, drop to the bench in favor of a quicker, more dynamic player such as Quincy Amarikwa, a player on the cusp of a starting eleven place.
In last weekend's match against the Union, Portland were undone on more than a few occasions by some neat and quick interplay by the Philly midfielders and strikers. With this smaller formation, the Fire will have more opportunities to play this type of game.
The interplay between players such as Duka, Rolfe, Joya, Amarikwa, Alex and Nyarko could certainly cause the Timbers problems with Benji Joya's goal last week serving as a classic example of this: Amarikwa playing a brilliant through ball to Alex who in turn found Joya at the back post for a tap in finish.
While this formation would certainly make the Fire quicker, it should also provide the Men in Red with an opportunity to have more possession and even slow the game down at times, especially if the away team manages to take the lead. With possession below 45% in last week's loss, an emphasis on keeping more of the ball is also necessary.
Set pieces: a weakness for both teams
Both the Fire and Timbers have had problems defending set pieces in the past and that was apparent again during the first match of the season for both teams. Fire defender Bakary Soumare admitted fault after his mark was able to head home the winner for Chivas while Portland also gave up a goal from a corner against the Union.
The Fire's defensive play from crosses and set pieces was certainly suspect last weekend and coach Frank Yallop made no secret of his disappointment at how his team gave up goals in this manner.
Though Portland are not a very big team, players like Diego Valeri and Gaston Fernandez are some of the best set piece takers in the league and a more cohesive performance by the Fire back four is needed on Sunday afternoon. On the other side of the ball, with the Timbers also looking frail on set pieces, I expect the Fire to load the box when the dead ball opportunities arise.
Prediction: 1-1 with the Fire goal coming from Alex
