The mud has been slung, the accusations have been made, the dust has settled, and Jimmy Higdon has come out on top as 14th District State Senator in Kentucky.
Higdon, R-Lebanon, was the winner of a special election Tuesday to determine who would be the state's newest senator. Higdon and Jodie Haydon, D-Bardstown, were seeking the seat vacated by former Sen. Dan Kelly, R-Springfield, who resigned last month and accepted a position as a circuit judge in the 11th Judicial Circuit.
As Washington and neighboring counties are going through a special election, some local races are also drawing more interest as some new names are added to the mix.
Previously, the only candidates to file were incumbents, but that has now changed as two local officials have some competition.
Washington County Sheriff Tommy Bartley, a Democrat, filed for re-election, and he now has two opponents.
Alan Corbett, a Democrat, and Jim Crouch, a Republican, have filed to run against Bartley.
Not everybody forecasts the weather according to animal instincts, but if the population of wooly worms in Washington County is any indicator, then we may be in for another harsh winter. That's all the more reason Glenn Mattingly, Springfield's public works director, and Albert Wimsatt, Washington County's road department supervisor, are taking steps to make sure their crews are prepared for a winter battle.
At the Nov. 12 meeting of the Washington County Relay for Life committee, the American Cancer Society presented Wilma Grigsby with an award for Mid-South Division Community Volunteer of the Year for 2008-09 in Washington County. The honor recognizes the years of service Grigsby has put in as a volunteer for Relay and for the American Cancer Society.
With more and more people looking for employment or trying to find ways to supplement their income, many are turning to entrepreneurial resources to start up or expand their own business. Through a partnership with the Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute, the Washington County Public Library now has a local Entrepreneurs Resource Center that will offer not only printed materials for job-seekers and potential business owners, but also a wealth of information available on the Internet.
Norris Wayne Bartley and Billy Joe Mattingly II haven't reported for work since Nov. 12 . Since that time, the two Washington County Sheriff deputies have either been in the custody of the Marion County Detention Center or under house arrest pending their hearing for marijuana trafficking and other charges. With these two public figures facing multiple felonies, Washington County Sheriff Tommy Bartley presented the Washington County Fiscal Court formally with termination letters for both Bartley, no relation to the sheriff, and Mattingly during an executive session at their Nov.
Local shoppers who braved long lines and limited quantities during Black Friday will get their chance to find unique and practical Christmas gifts during the annual Lions/Rotary radio auction this Sunday. The event acts as a fundraiser for the Lions Club, which is active in local Little League, and the Rotary Club, which uses the money to fund several events year-round, such as the Washington County Junior Miss competition. The auction starts at 1 p.m.
A special election Dec. 8 will decide who will fill the vacant District 14 state senate seat. The district includes Marion, Mercer, Nelson, Taylor and Washington counties.
The candidates are Jodie Haydon, a former state representative from Bardstown, and Jimmy Higdon, a sitting state representative from Lebanon.
Both candidates recently responded to a questionnaire sent by Landmark Community Newspapers. Their answers reveal a number of similarities as well as a few differences.
The candidates
In less than a week, voters will head to the polls to choose a new senator in District 14, filling a vacancy left by the resignation of former Sen. Dan Kelly, R-Springfield. The winner will represent a five-county area, including Washington, Nelson, Marion, Mercer and Taylor counties.
It's time to write your letters to Santa Claus for this year's special section in The Springfield Sun.

The Prince of Wales has expressed concern about the plight of Middle Eastern Christians and is visiting members of their communities in the UK today.
He is travelling to the Coptic Orthodox Church Centre in Stevenage and visiting the Syrian Orthodox Church, St Thomas Cathedral in West London, where he will meet members of the community and hear about their experiences in the Middle East.
Later today he is to host a reception at Clarence House to celebrate Christian Communities in the Middle East, at which the Archbishop of Westminster, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Chief Rabbi are due to be present.
In a statement, Clarence House said: "The Prince has expressed concern about the current challenges facing Christians in some Middle Eastern nations and wanted to meet members of those communities resident in the UK to find out more."
In recent years there has been an exodus of Christians from the Middle East due to sectarian violence and persecution.
The statement added: "The Prince of Wales wants to draw attention to the importance of harmony and understanding between peoples of all faiths."
He will be accompanied by Prince Ghazi of Jordan, an adviser on religious and cultural affairs to the King of Jordan, and the author of "a common word initiative" which was sent in 2007 to Pope Benedict XVI calling for peace between Islam and Christianity.

Talk:Faisal–Weizmann Agreement
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day... section on January 3, 2012 and January 3, 2015.
"In preparation for the meeting, the British had written to Faisal that "we know that the Arabs despise, condemn and hate the Jews", but that the Jewish race is "universal, all-powerful and cannot be put down"." is a strange and wondrous fabrication. I bet you can have a citation for that as well?
Some citations[edit]
- Weizmann's opinion of the Palestinian Arabs was given in a long letter to Arthur Balfour, dated 30 May 1918. The Letters and Papers of Chaim Weizmann (ed. Weisgal) Series A, Volume VIII, p197-206. Some more extracts: "The Arabs who are superficially clever and quick witted, worship one thing and one thing only - power and success."; "the treacherous nature of the Arab...He screams as often as he can and blackmails as much as he can."; "This system does not take into account the fact that there is a fundamental qualitative difference between Jew and Arab. The Turk, being himself of inferior culture, saw in the Jew a superior to himself and to the Arab, and so by virtue of his intelligence and his achievements the Jew held a position in the country perhaps out of proportion to his numerical strength. The present system tends on the contrary to level down the Jew politically to the status of a native, and in many cases the English Administrator follows the convenient rule of looking on the Jews as so many natives."
- Weizmann's report on Faisal's opinion of the Palestinian Arabs is from a letter to his wife dated 17 June 1918 (original in Russian). I quoted the English translation from the same collection, Series A, Volume VIII, p210.
- British letter to Faisal in advance of the Faisal-Weizmann meeting: Segev, One Palestine, Complete, p110-111. Segev cites Reinharz's biography of Weizmann, p255.
All of the above are well known and frequently cited.
In interpreting the agreement, it is important to remember that it was all done under British eyes. It seems to be a common belief that the actual written text was the work of T.E. Lawrence, but I didn't mention that because I don't know if there is solid evidence for it. You can see the British influence in the way the actual role of the Jews in Palestine is vague and refers back to the Balfour Declaration. Just as in the B.D., there is no explicit mention of Jewish sovereignty and this was entirely deliberate.
--Zero 23:50, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Thank you for the citations.
Clearly the British played a large role in the formation of the documents as did the other parties involved. Everyone expected to gain from it. That is often the nature of agreements between parties.
Still it needs to be asked what relevance Weizmann's quotes above have to the agreement. What light do they provide that they should be included on this particular page? OneVoice 01:18, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- A deliberate choice was made by the Zionists to not try to strike an agreement directly with the Palestinian Arabs. There were a variety of reasons for that and one was the attitude (common amongst Europeans of the time) that the Arabs were a primitive race (Weizmann said "at least four centuries behind the times") and one does not negotiate with primitives. Many of the British felt the same way (which could be included in the article). One should also ask the question of why Faisal was so easily persuaded to give up Palestine despite it having earlier been promised to his father. The two reasons given here are not the whole story but are key parts of it. --Zero 02:53, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
The page does not give the impression that its a European attitude or a British attitude but rather a Jewish or Zionist attitude only. How can we address this?
What does "support close Jewish settlement" mean....cant parse the word 'close' in this phrase...from the page, of course. OneVoice 02:58, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- "Close settlement" was a common expression back then; e.g. it is in the Mandate text twice. The word "close" is used in the sense of "dense", so "close settlement" means settlement by a lot of people. I'll answer the other question later. --Zero 04:08, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
If close is dense, then that would mean a concentrated population irrespective of size, so long as enough people are there to obtain a density of population. For example: if 1000/mi2 is common, then one might say that dense is 2000/mi2, and a minimum population of 2000 (this is rough) would be needed. OneVoice 10:38, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
IMO the term "close" in the Balfour Declaration as well as the "derivative documents" (i.e. the Sévres Treaty and the League of Nations declaration of 1922 establishing the British Mandate) has to be interpreted as a settling paradigm different from "dispersed" settlement. This means that settling should be done in organized communities, allowing for the allocation of major work groups for any cultivation project but also to provide security. Furthermore "close settlement" in this way allowed for creation of Jewish communmities which later could gain local political autonomy. (KE)

- Battleground is a notorious propaganda volume. Please source material to reliable works. --Ian Pitchford 15:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- why did you change it again ? you're really being unfair pitchford. Amoruso 08:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- says who ? Battleground is a historical book which is regarded very highly. It's in itself full of sources and references to this information as well. this information is widely known too. you asked for the source after I linked to webpages saying the same, which were also reliable. So this is good enough I believe. Amoruso 01:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- The quotation from Weizmann might be admissible if there is a reliable source for it. What source does Katz give? Secondly you gave Katz's opinion on something. If we are going to quote the opinion of a historian, we should choose a mainstream eminent historian, not an activist who thought Menachem Begin was too far to the left. Thirdly you proved why we cannot take Katz's word for anything (assuming you quoted him accurately): "It should be noted that the proposals covered Palestine - from the Mediterranean through the entire Galilee, up to the Litani River, hundreds of miles east of the Jordan River through all of current day Jordan, and into part of the Sinai." Complete rubbish; not even the most optimistic proposal put forward by the Zionists included that much territory. --Zerotalk 14:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Wrong on so many accounts. First of all, it's not Katz's opinion. I'm simply stating that it's quoted from Katz's book so people know where the source is. Secondly, Katz is one of the most respected historians. Thirdly, Katz is correct. And later on I will also add the maps. These were annexed to the agreement. He is exactly right on all accounts, nothing rubbish here, and please conform to wikipedia's standards when editing things. Right now it's just vandalism because things don't suit your POV political views. Amoruso 14:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- You wrote "through all of current day Jordan" but Katz wrote "west of Hedjaz Railway". You wrote "into part of the Sinai" but Katz wrote "In the south a frontier to be agreed upon with the Egyptian Government." I apologise to Katz; it was you who is unreliable on this. --Zerotalk 14:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

- I've quoted Katz in exact words. I have his book right here in front of my. Amoruso 12:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm quoting the actual Zionist proposal to the peace conference, which is what you are claiming to be describing. Moreover, the text of that proposal is supposed to be reprinted in Katz, see [1]. How can you explain the difference? The descriptions are completely incompatible since the Hedjaz Railway is never more than about 40 miles east of the river and usually less. I repeat: the description you keep putting into the article is not the Zionist proposal to the peace conference. Maybe Katz is talking about some other proposal. --Zerotalk 14:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've quoted Katz in exact words. I have his book right here in front of my. Amoruso 12:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- The propsal I wrote is the same. Into the Jordan it goes all the way to Amman indeed until the railway, including parts of the sinai and north to the litani and parts of the golan. You're arguing about nothing. Amoruso 15:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I've replaced: "...the British had written to Faisal that 'we know that the Arabs despise, condemn and hate the Jews', but that the Jewish race is 'universal, all-powerful and cannot be put down'." with "...British diplomat Mark Sykes had written to Faisal about the Jewish people '...this race, despised and weak, is universal and all powerful and cannot be put down'."

proposal comment[edit]
this dubious comment has nothing to do with the faisal - weizman agreement. The only reason the proposal was quoted is for the reader to see what territory was being discussed in Faisal's eyes. Interpretation of the actual regime of this state (if the quote is geniune, Weizman is simply stating the state will be democratic and provide rights for all citizens, exactly repeated in the Declaration of Independence in 1948) is irrelevant to the article. There are many comments on the proposal by prominent zionist, including whole passages by Weizman. For starters, quote the entire proposal if you intend to add comments to it. Subsquently, selective quoting of Weizman's comments on the proposal are irrelevant. If he said something directly to Faisal then it will fit in the article. Amoruso 16:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- the edit was reverted using pop-ups by Ian Pitchford. Pop-ups is an anti-vandalism tool and Ian Pitchford has repeatdly abused this feature in the past and is doing the same thing right now. I've explained the reason to omit the edit, and therefore it won't be included, unless good explanations are provided. Amoruso 20:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- How could Feisal's opinion of the proposal be relevant, but not Weizmann's, in an article on the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement? --Ian Pitchford 21:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- I respectfully ask you will remove the comment until this is settled or it will go to arbitration. I will personally remove the comment myself tomorrow, and I think it's better you revert it yourself. As to your question, you have phrased it wrongly. Faisal's letter is directed towards the Zionist movement and Weizman in specific. That letter I can quote in full if you wish, it's signed by Faisal himself. Your comment is firstly dubious, I don't know if it exists or not, secondly it's about the proposal without any connection to Faisal... it's a whole differnet subject - if you intend to start analysing the proposal, then it will take a whole new page altogether. Therefore any comments on the proposal are irrelevant unless they're directly linked to Faisal - Weizman connection. Your attempt at quoting a dubious sentence said by Weizman out of context can not be taken seriously, since only part of the proposal is even written (by you). If you left the article as it was, with the proposal only covering the part to clarify the territory in question it will make sense. Amoruso 21:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- In other words, what you're attemptly trying to say is that Faisal only agreed that it's moderate and proper if Israel won't form a state. Now that firstly is a wrong interpretation of Weizman, that IF he did say those things, he was only talking about Democracy in future Israel and nothing more - secondly, you have no source saying that Faisal was aware of this comment - Faisal's comments were attributed only to the proposal. Any further comments made on the proposal aren't relevant here and open to interpretation. The proposal spoke for itself. Note that if Weizman meant anything, he will include it in the actual paper, just like Faisal put all his thoughts into the agreement, even in his hand writing. Therefore, your comment is false in any respect. Amoruso 21:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Weizmann's comments are not particularly ambiguous. I don't see how you can claim that the opinion of one of the parties to the agreement is irrelevant when you've added to the article what is supposed to be a comment about the Balfour Declaration by the father of one of the parties to the agreement as reported by an Irgun propagandist. --Ian Pitchford 22:05, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
(another) ultimate reason for deletion of comment[edit]
in 1947, in the U.N assembly talks, this was said :
Sir ABDUR RAHMAN (India): You were reported to have said in "The Times" of 1 March 1918. We do not aspire to found a Zionist State. "What we want is a country in which all nations and all creeds shall have equal rights and equal tolerance."
Mr. WEIZMANN: I may have said that; I do not know. I have forgotten it. You must never quote a public man's speeches which have been made twenty-five years ago, because in those twenty-five years a great deal has changed.
Sir ABDUR RAHMAN (India): I only quote them because you have quoted what happened twenty-five years ago. It is only relevant in that connexion.
Mr. WEIZMANN: That is quite right. We did not want to speak of a State then. We spoke of a National Home. But the characteristic of the thing, whether it is a National Home or whether it is a State, remains the same. We think that in the Jewish State all peoples will live in amity and freedom. [2]
Note : Weizman is not even sure he said those things, he doesn't stand behind them, and he explains that at any case national home at the time meant state ! and what he meant was that just all people should have democratic rights (essentially the same like arab citizens in Israel). Therefore, if you insist on having this comment, the entire transcript of this U.N assembly talk , and also other comments will be added to the article, which I think is redundant. Proposal speak for itself, and therefore comment will be deleted.
Incidentally, I will add though from the assembly Weizman's assesment of the treaty in 1947. Faisal's quotes on the "aftermath" of the treaty should be referenced, as they are not. Amoruso 21:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- So Weizmann tried to put a different spin on his comments 28 years later. --Ian Pitchford 22:05, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- no, you're trying to put a differnet spin on something he might very well have never said. In contrast, Faisal and Hussein never denied their comments. Amoruso 22:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
The answers Weizmann gave in 1947 were I believe quite truthful. In 1918 the Zionists really did want a state, but they decided as a strategic device to say "national home" instead. There are plenty of Zionist documents making clear that it was a carefully chosen phrase. The British were happy about this code too, since it enabled them to lie to the Arabs about what the future held. --Zerotalk 13:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
A problem with dates in one cite[edit]
As it stands, the article draws an analogy between the quoted letter from Faisal to Felix Frankfurter - the relevant portion here is: "Our deputation here in Paris is fully acquainted with the proposals submitted yesterday by the Zionist Organization to the Peace Conference" (my emph.) - and the next quote, a Jewish proposal regarding borders in Palestine and submitted to the conference. The letter is dated March 3, 1919 (so "yesterday" in the quote should be March 2), but the Jewish proposal was actually submitted February 3 of that year (according to the cite). Thus, the analogy is broken. This also concerns the map in the article. It's not incredibly important, and I've left it as is, but there's a problem. -- Steve Hart 22:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- You'd notice the dates do overlap. The Times article shows that too, as the conference was still in process. There is only one set of proposals from the zionist delegation, and the important detailed has enormous historical importance. I restored material concerning this. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

BOSTON — Ervin Santana pitched seven strong innings and the Kansas City Royals ended Boston's seven-game winning streak with a 4-2 win over the Red Sox in the opener of a day-night doubleheader on Sunday.
The nightcap was scheduled after Friday night's game was postponed because of the manhunt for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
Santana (2-1) allowed two runs on six hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. It was the third straight start in which he gave up two runs or less.
The Red Sox loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth against Bruce Chen and Aaron Crow, but Jarrod Saltalamacchia grounded out to Crow. Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save in five opportunities.
The Royals scored three runs in the fourth with Salvador Perez's two-run single breaking a 2-2 tie against Ryan Dempster (0-2).
The atmosphere at Fenway Park was more like a typical baseball game following the emotional pregame ceremony when the Red Sox returned to action Saturday.
Still, there were some signs that all was not the same.
The American flag in left-center field remained at half-staff, Red Sox players wore a "B STRONG" patch on their jerseys and a fan held a white sheet with the words "Veterans Luv Sox" on it while "God Bless America" was sung during the seventh-inning stretch.
And Boston's Will Middlebrooks tweeted a photo of what he said was Johnny Gomes' bat with the words "Boston Strong" and the names of the four people killed in the bombings and its aftermath on it.
The Royals took a 1-0 lead in the first on Alcides Escobar's second homer of the season. It didn't last long as the Red Sox scored twice in the bottom of the first when Daniel Nava and Dustin Pedroia singled, David Ortiz followed with an RBI single and Mike Napoli gave Boston a 2-1 lead with a run-scoring groundout.
After two hitless innings, Kansas City took a 4-2 lead in the fourth. Singles by Billy Butler and Eric Hosmer and an RBI-double by Lorenzo Cain tied the game with no outs. The threat started to fizzle when Dempster struck out the next two batters. But then Perez lined a single over the head of shortstop Stephen Drew, driving in two runs.
That ended a season-opening streak of 16 games by Red Sox starters of allowing three runs or less, tying an AL record achieved by the Oakland Athletics in 1978 and 1981.
Notes: Red Sox RF Shane Victorino missed his first game of the season after leaving Saturday's 4-3 win over the Royals with back spasms. ... Pedroia has reached base in all 17 games. ... Jacoby Ellsbury has hit in 10 straight games. ... Cain had hits in seven straight at bats before grounding out on the first then getting his double in the fourth. ...

One of the best ways to get a glimpse of the scope of the phenomenon we call "games" is by finding a game that you know very little about, like, say, Mancala – a strategy game that is played throughout Africa and beyond – and browsing through some of the hundreds of versions of that game, traditional and modern. And perhaps one of the best places to begin is with a site devoted to Mancala, like this one,
I've been fascinated by Mancala ever since I first encountered it in R.C. Bell's book Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations. It's simply so unlike any board game I had ever played. Mancala, which, according to the ELLIOT AVEDON VIRTUAL MUSEUM OF GAMES, is "played today primarily in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Caribbean area. It's origins are rooted in ancient Egypt, and according to Murray can be traced to the Empire Age (about the 15th to 11th centuries BC). The game spread from Egypt to many parts of Africa and then to the Middle East. As Muslim culture spread in the early AD centuries, it carried the game with it to India, Ceylon, Malaya, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It was carried from many Black African cultures during the period of the slave trade to the Caribbean area. Until recent times, the game was unknown in the non-Islamic parts of Europe and The Americas."
I always thought of it as a kind of seed-sowing game. I imagined its origins developed on some fallow field, the pits scooped out of the earth. But whatever its origins, its strategic complexities and variations have fascinated people around the world, and its power as an exercise in logic and prediction has brought it to elementary school math classes around the world.
In the beginning of a game, you each have the same number of stones (seeds, marbles) that you've placed in your pits. A turn consists of lifting all the stones in one of your pits and sowing them, one at a time, into adjacent pits. Everything depends on where your last stone ends up. In some games, if it ends in a pit that has stones in it, you pick up all those stones and continue sewing until you end in an empty pit. In others, if you end in a pit that has exactly three or four, you win all those stones. In yet others, you take the stones from the opposite pit.
Though they are board games, you don't, as the illustration Hoyito, uh, illustrates, really need a board, and you can use just about anything for pieces – beans, stones, pellets, seeds. Mancala games are also called "Count and Capture" games because that's pretty much what you do when you play.
As you click your way through the remarkably diverse variations of the game, you begin to sense that there is some phenomenon that Mancala embraces, very different from chess and checkers, but as relevant to our understanding of the cycles of human existence as any game that our culture has created: government, justice, religion, education, crime and punishment. Small stages where dramas are enacted which are fundamental, transcendent, gripping portrayals of life, replete with tragedy, comedy, wisdom and fun.
Hans Bodlaender has developed a page of links to versions that you can play online. It's a great way to learn about a game that much of the world plays, and yet is remarkably, and enticingly foreign for the rest of us.

Fascinating. You write as well as you draw. You continue to be an inspiration, so please continue to be an inspiration.
I played this as a kid! I was just thinking about it the other day, trying to remember how it went. It was a game played in my friend's house, seemed traditional to them. They are from Denmark, so I thought it was Danish. We played with egg cartons and marbles (or buttons).
It never fails that you know almost every game I've ever played.
Love and laughter,

552 Tasting Notes
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @95C, Western style, steeped four minutes, drunk bare.
Happy sigh.
Dry leaves are tiny, curled, and very smooth, alms silly, to the touch. I know about the smoothness because I had way too much on my spoon and pinched some tea back into the bag.
Dry leaves give a strong cocoa scent, with some sweet malt.
Wet leaves are long, and some are still twisted, mostly brown with some dark green. Wet leaves smell of cocoa, malt, and, i the distance, vanilla. (This is not, of course, a flavoured dessert tea.)
Liquor is dark copper. Liquor smells of — you guessed it — cocoa and malt, also soybeans and deciduous trees.
Taste: cocoa and malt, of course, and a bit of soybean, with sweetness and some vanilla notes in the finish. I haven't tried this year's batch labelled just 'Laoshan Black,' so I can't comment on any differences between that and this, the Spring Harvest Laoshan Black. I can say this tea gives everything I remember falling for in Laoshan Black.
The finish is very soft.
1.25 tsp for 300mL water @95C, Western style. steeped three minute son first infusion, three minutes thirty seconds on seconds infusion.
I adore smoky teas. This is not a heavily smoked tea at all, not even close to what gets called Caravan certainly not to most lapsang souchongs I've tried. (And I love a good caravan and lapsang souchong.) This is classified as a black tea — I think it just barely qualifies, tasting and behaving to my tasting more as a clear dark mineral oolong.
The first infusion has more gentle smoke — more resin than smoke, really — while the second infusion is very mineral and surprisingly sweet with some pine resin and chocolate notes.
Love. Love love love love love.
1tsp for 250mL water @90C, steeped two minutes.
I find some of the same scallop-y notes as I found in the Spring Harvest Laoshan Green, but with more butter and green vegetable notes. I'm getting some floral oolong notes cutting through the butter, veggies, and scallops. A lot going on here. Not sure yet if I like it.
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @100C, steeped five minutes.
Dry leaves are long and twisty, mostly dark with a golden one here and there.
Dark copper liquor.
Well, Damn Fine warned us this would be strong.
And it's GLORIOUS. Lots of cedar and toast notes, and a rich, almost honey-like finish that announced 'Yunnan' in a deep voice. Not a subtle or a gentle tea. It's not smoky, but it's close to smoky. It's got a faint peppery bite that I find in some Yunnans and really like. I'm gonna play with steep times, but I expect this will brew up intense regardless. I love this tea. But be warned: it's strong.
Flavors: Baked Bread, Biting, Black Pepper, Brown Toast, Cedar, Cocoa, Earth, Fig, Forest Floor, Honey, Oak wood, Thick, Winter Honey
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @85C, steeped five minutes.
The packet suggests using water at 100C, but I find that scalds mate and certainly makes the dried fruit a bit harsh. 85C works much better.
A fresh and bright green mate with lots of candied fruit. Sweet and sunny, with good but not overpowering or sickly ago flavour. Good mate buzz from it, too.
I find Tea Squared in my favourite supermarket. The re-sealable bags hold about 80 grams of tea or tisane, and retail around 8 to 9 dollars Canadian. Worth it, I think.
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @90C, steeped 8 minutes 45 seconds.
Yeah, 8:45. I got a phone call.
However, this tea stands of beautifully to a long steep.
Colour on my usual 4:30 steep is much the same as what I have here now, a medium copper that looks like a light Ceylon tea. This is a darker oolong than I usually drink, and it's got a lot going on: molasses, figs, plums and a few other nots I can't quite define. Nuanced. No bitterness, not even at 8:45. The shorter steep is much sweeter, but this robust beauty remains pleasant and complex. Well worth a try for anyone who likes oolong, and it might make a lovely foray into oolong for a tea drinker who likes the lighter black teas, like Darjeelings (though this has no astringency).
1.5 tsp (approximate — leaves are long and twisty) for 300mL water @95C, stepped 4 minutes 45 seconds.
Oh oh oh.
First off, I love the name of this tea. I admit it; I pretend I am a dagger-wielding warrior queen when I drink this.
Dry leaf is black and gold, long and twist. Scents of dark honey, earth, a bit of sweet potato, and leather.
Wet leaf yields up copper and brown, like pennies. Scents are stronger.
Liquor is copper with some down.
Aroma is unmistakeable: some leather, buckwheat honey, fresh bread, and spicy trees. I know that last one sounds odd. Spicy trees, green incensey almost — cedar perhaps?
Flavour matches the aroma with some sweet potato notes as well. No bitterness.
I just love this tea.
1.5 tsp in 300mL water @95C, steeped five minutes.
An excellent basic Darjeeling. Everything that's good about Darjeeling — the clean astringence, the tending towards almost a green tea in body and taste, and that glorious muscatel — is all here. This is a blend from one grand, Pussimbing. I find it benefits from a slightly longer steep than I usually go for with a black tea, five minutes versus four or four and a half, and with the lower water temp of 95 vs 100. The price is more than reasonable — a bargain, I'd argue, with 250 grams costing only $18.00 — the leaf organic and tested for hundreds of different residues, and, best of all, Tea Campaign is committed to improving the lives of tea workers.

Keep Going, Keep Making a Difference
This guest post is by Autism Speaks staffer Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a graduate student at Seton Hall University. He started the club Student Disability Awareness on campus to help spread awareness and raise funds for those affected by autism. Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events.
In late September, The Combating Autism Reauthorization Act (CARA) was passed through Senate and was then signed into law by our President Barack Obama. One of the champions in Senate who helped us get there was New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez. Almost 2 weeks ago he came to an autistic school called Regional Day in my hometown of Jersey City, New Jersey to give a speech about the significance of the act. What I was amazed at though was when I received a call from his office to speak at the event! In front of countless media, family, and friends I spoke about my story with autism and what the impact an act like this will have not only for me but for countless others who are affected by autism.
The Combating Autism Reauthorization Act as some may recall will grant 693 million dollars to the autistic community for the next 3 years. Even though this is a great feat we still most continue to push forward as I stress in my speech as autism never takes a vacation so neither can we.
Below is a Youtube clip of me speaking at the event that I hope you all enjoy. Thank you!

A New World for Torchwood
As reported in Doctor Who: Podshock, the Doctor Who spin-off series, Torchwood is being relaunched in the US on the Starz network.
The HollywoodReporter.com has an article reporting that name of the rebooted series in the US is Torchwood: The New World. Like last year's acclaimed Torchwood: Children of Earth I would suppose. It is to be ten episodes which to my understanding are telling a story much the same way as Children of Earth did with its five episodes run.
'Torchwood' gets new title: 'The New World': "Starz' 'Torchwood' reboot will be titled 'Torchwood: The New World' and creator Russell T Davies gave some insight into the storyline.
The new story will follow a CIA agent (Rex) and analyst (Ester) who tackle an alien-related global issue. Torchwood, having been destroyed and disbanded, is 'like a legend now ... it's like something that's ceased to exist and is now spoken of only in whispers.' Soon, Rex and Ester are on the run and are seeking out the help of Captain Jack and Gwen.

The FOUR Doctors at last!
Ok, OK! so it's not a TV episode, but it's something I've been wanting after realising we've had every other combination of numbers of Doctors up to five, but not four. I would have written earlier about this but there was one FACT that was unclear. Yes it's free to subscribers but! which Doctor Who ranges would be included? and as far as I can make out it's the Monthly Doctor Who Range subscribers who get this little gem in their fists.
Big Finish has done this on a regular basis last year saw the release "An Earthly Child" a 8th Doctor and Susan tale, but unlike that release, Big Finish has said as of going to press that this adventure would never be released other than to Subscribers. Now I see three points here 1.) Big Finish would make an absolute wad of cash if they eventually released this for general sale. 2.) That they must make enough that they can "AFFORD" to do this, but in fact this is very nice present to their subscribers if it remains so. 3.) Internet piracy, maybe at some point this is going to end up on a torrent site. Great for those who don't want to subscribe but bad for Big Finish, as they may have lawyers but I doubt they have the clout of the BIG Music labels, and I personally would rather see the money going into Big Finish's pockets because this is quite literately how future productions are funded.
How do you rate Doctor Who, the 2010 series? (5=Fantastic)
New Intro Video for the Upcoming Doctor Who: Podshock / Gallifreyan Embassy Meet Up on Second Life

This Week In Doctor Who - July 24, 2010 (updated July 30)
This Week In Doctor Who and Torchwood This Week will not be producing a July 31 issue due to technical and travel issues. TWIDW and TTW will be back on August 7th. For most stations (particularly stations who made the information available), you should be able to extrapolate the Doctor Who and spinoff shows' schedules out to then from the July 24th edition.
July 31 would have been an interesting edition, since as far as I can determine, no countries on Earth were going to premiere new episodes of anything in the Doctor Who universes in the next week - we've all gone into repeats for the moment. But there were some developments of interest that I want to pass on:
The Dominators DVD Review
So after watching this DVD a couple of times a quick review. Of course I should be the one to tell you about this release, Patrick Troughton's 2nd Doctor being my favourite Doctor despite being born in the Time of Pertwee. This Story see's the Doctor land the Tardis on the Planet of Dulkis for a Vacation, on an Island that the Doctor has forgotten to check for Radiation. Meanwhile the Dominators have landed on the Island and are preparing a site for drilling supported by the Robotic Quarks.

Welcome to our website!
The Foundation's story began in 1996 when it was incorporated as a registered charity. Since its creation, the Foundation has actively worked in partnership with the Alexandra Marine & General Hospital. The goal is to ensure that quality health care is available to the residents of Huron County and neighbouring communities.
Due to the generosity of its donors and volunteers, the Foundation has evolved to become a respected organization in the region. The Foundation has always worked hard to maintain the trust of the community.
There has been much to celebrate over the years. In its short fundraising history, the AMGH Foundation has raised over 7 million dollars for capital equipment purchases that have enhanced patient care and safety. This is a tremendous local success story. It is one that the community can take pride in. People of all generations have directly benefitted from the commitment and caring of the Foundation's donors. From the emergency room to the lab donor's generosity can be seen at work throughout the Hospital.

DHS staff as foster parents: State needs caregivers
"We do not have as many foster parents as we need, and employees ... choose to foster in a continuing effort to make a difference in a child's life." The spokesman said a recent check revealed there were 104 DHS employees serving as foster parents. Almost half, 47, were kinship foster parents, meaning they were related or had some other prior bond with the children placed in their care. DHS officials said the agency takes great care to avoid conflicts of interest. "A majority of the discussion prior to a decision being made for an employee to be a foster parent is the employee agreeing not to use his or her position ... to influence the case," Johnson said. "Through our information security systems, all case records are restricted so that an employee serving as a foster parent does not have access to case information regarding any foster child who may be under his or her care."

Watching a huge production of a play or musical can be great. But there is something magical that happens when you enter an intimate venue like The Gaslight Theatre in the Central West End. Inside there are only ninety-nine seats, meaning the worst seat in the house is only a few rows away from the stage. You don't have to worry about seeing or hearing the actors, and there is nothing to detract from the art which is being created before your eyes. Which is a good thing, because you wouldn't want to miss a second of this beautifully dark and chilling story.
The Pillowman was written by Martin McDonagh, and debuted in 2003 at the Cottesloe Theatre in London, England. It earned the honor of receiving the 2004 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play, two Tonys, and both New York Drama Critics' Circle and Drama Desk Awards. The play revolves around a short story writer named Katurian (Jason C. Klefisch), living in a totalitarian state, who is detained for questioning about recent child murders which bear a striking similarity to his stories. He eventually finds out that his brother Michal (Nick Kelly) is also being held, as their lives are placed in the hands of detectives Tupolski (Eric Dean White) and Ariel (Darian Michael Garey). The question is, are the two brothers being held unfairly, or is their something to the hard-nosed detectives' antics?
There are only four characters in the entire play, but don't let that scare you away. That is twice as many as appeared in Theatre Lab's first ambitious project, The Sunset Limited. And what incredible actors were chosen for the roles. Jason Klefisch is fantastic as Katurian, who you aren't quite sure what to think of at first. His stories are dark and twisted, yet the audience isn't so quick to pin any guilt on him. The actor gives it his all as he turns in a gut-wrenching performance, running the gamut of emotions. Alongside him is Nick Kelley as his brother Michal for much of the show. Kelley is faced with not only performing some heavy material, but also portraying a character who has special needs. He does an excellent job with the balancing act, making his character's actions never less than believable. He is also tasked with bringing levity to the show, while never coming across derogatorily or insensitively.
Originally written for the 1957 television broadcast starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella finally made it's Broadway debut in 2013. With a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, the classic tale gets some new updates – but still captures the magic of the story we know and love. The show is now playing at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis through February 1.
Returning from her leading role on Broadway is Paige Faure as Ella, with the look and cadence that would have you thinking she really is Cinderella in real life. Although some details have changed, the story is still close to the one we know and love. Ella lives with her wicked stepmother (Beth Glover) and stepsisters: Charlotte (Aymee Garcia) and Gabrielle (Kaitlyn Davidson) – although the latter is much nicer to Ella than we've grown accustomed to. Right at the start, Ella has a meet-cute with Prince Topher (Andy Jones) as he rides through town. It is there we are also introduced to her friends Jean-Michel (David Andino), a zany revolutionary, and Marie (Kecia Lewis) – a crazy old woman who we later learn has more up her sleeve than meets the eye. Topher's adviser Lord Chancellor Sebastian (Blake Hammond) convinces the prince that it is time to marry – and what better way to find a bride than to throw a magnificent ball? It's all fairy godmothers and magical transformations from then on, as the classic tale comes to life.
The show consists of many of the musical numbers from the original 1957 production, as well as some additional songs from the Rodgers + Hammerstein catalog – cut from shows like South Pacific, Me and Juliet. The number "There's Music in You" was added from the 1997 television version that starred Brandy, which actually came from the 1957 film Main Street to Broadway – where Rodgers and Hammerstein can be seen performing it. CINDERELLA is full of great music and performances, sure to have audiences mesmerized when combined with the direction of Mark Brokaw (The Lyons, After Miss Julie, The Constant Wife, Reckless, Cry-Baby) and choreography of Josh Rhodes (Company, The Film, Three Generations at the Kennedy Center, Sondheim: the Birthday Concert).
Bonnie and Clyde (or Clyde and Bonnie, if you asked him) were a couple of American outlaws who captured the attention of the public in the early 1930s. While these two kids weren't much more than a couple of petty robbers, commonly knocking over gas stations and small "mom and pop" stores, the media glamorized their exploits into legend. And now legend has become musical. Following its short run on Broadway, New Line has once again seen the potential in an unappreciated show – and has given it a new and glorious life!
Both newcomers to the company, Larissa White and Matt Pentecost play Bonnie and Clyde. The two leads share a phenomenal chemistry, as well as an energy that lights up the stage. Each of the actors hold their own in vocals and acting, but when they come together it is magic. The story starts off before the two of them met, with Bonnie's dreams of being in the "Picture Show," and Clyde trying to stay out of jail while singing about how "This World Will Remember Me." The show then chronicles their relationship from their humble beginnings to making the headlines. Joining them are Clyde's brother Buck (Brendan Ochs) and his wife Blanche (Sarah Porter), who both do a great job of providing the comedic relief in the show. Hot on their trails are Ted Hinton (Reynaldo Arceno) and Sheriff Schmid (Christopher Clark) who relentlessly track down the outlaws throughout the show.
Chances are that if you're watching live theatre in the Midwest, more often than not it's tough to be genuinely surprised. That doesn't mean there is any lack of talent or amazing shows that come through town. And we have a great theatre community in St. Louis. Yet there is a huge difference between seeing a show that you know will be amazing – and feeling completely surprised by something risky and new. Most shows we see are already proven, and who can blame them? It's expensive to put on a show, and especially to bring us something new from Broadway. Yet this isn't the case with New Line Theatre, who time after time produces shows that are different and widely unknown. Artistic director Scott Miller has a true talent for recognizing the potential in shows we might otherwise have never seen, and filling them with some of the best actors in town. With that being said, I introduce you to their latest success: Hands on a Hardbody.
Based on a documentary film which follows true events from 1995, Hands on a Hardbody takes the audience to Longview, Texas for an annual competition of endurance. The prize? A brand new pickup truck. And it's a musical. How wonderfully strange and fantastic the synopsis sounds. But you haven't seen or heard anything until you've been to the show.
Songwriter Amanda Green is no stranger to bringing us this sort of unexpected gem. My first introduction to New Line Theater was in 2012 with their production of High Fidelity, based on one of my favorite films. But a musical? Green was responsible for those lyrics, and the show was an absolute blast. And how about the surprise Broadway hit "Bring It On The Musical," based on a 2000 high school comedy about cheerleaders? Green teamed up with the mega-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights) and Tom Kitt (High Fidelity, Next to Normal) on that one, which completely caught me off-guard with how fun it was. And now Green, along with Trey Anastasio (Phish) and a book by Doug Wright (Quills, The Little Mermaid), has done it again. This time with a musical about a contest to win a truck. On paper, it's hard to imagine that the show could be so amazing. But I've learned to trust both New Line and Green by now, and both have yet to let me down.
Based on the 1992 box office hit which grossed over $230 million worldwide, Sister Act brings the character made famous by Whoopi Goldberg to the stage of the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis from November 19 to December 1.Deloris Van Cartier (TA'REA CAMPBELL) is an undiscovered diva with the dream to hit it big, as she auditions to sing in the nightclub of gangster Curtis Jackson (MELVIN ABSTON). After being rejected on Christmas Eve, she decides that she doesn't need Curtis or his club to become famous. On her way out she witnesses the murder of an accused informant at the club-owner's hands, sending her running into police custody for protection. With the help of officer Souther (CHESTER GREGORY), an old high school friend known as "Sweaty Eddie," she takes refuge at a convent run by Mother Superior (HOLLIS RESNIK). There she tries to blend in amongst the sisters, meanwhile transforming a church on the brink of closure into a fabulous musical destination.
Sister Act is packed full of fantastic songs, which is no surprise with the talent of and Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin) responsible for the music. Rarely do you find a new musical full of not-yet-famous numbers that have you captivated, one after the next. Yet in this case, the show is overflowing with catchy numbers. The lyrics by Glenn Slater are wonderfully written, telling the story while keeping things lively and entertaining throughout.

Amazing B&B
Caroline runs a cracking B&B.
The rooms are decorated to a high standard & the en suite was lovely. Large & very comfortable bed. Great to have a couple of bottles of mineral water in the room as I don't drink tea or coffee (these were also available!).
The dining room from breakfast was again very modern and well presented. The breakfast was more than filling. Seriously nice yoghurts a & pastries. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks Caroline!

Clean, spacious B&B in a peaceful location
The Byways offers an excellent B&B service, with spacious and well-designed rooms.
Cleanliness was excellent. We booked the superior double which not only gave us a comfortable king-size bed, but also provided an en suite with a surprisingly good shower: roomy, powerful and attractively tiled. (It's hard to remember the last time I was actually impressed with the shower in any B&B or hotel accommodation.)
The location of the B&B is perfect if you want to avoid lots of traffic noise, or other guests coming and going outside your room. It was peaceful and relaxing, and yet very convenient for the roads which we needed for the rest of our journey. Breakfast was of good quality. All in all, our hostess went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we need. The Byways comes highly recommended.

5 Stress-Free Jobs We'd Love to Have [PHOTOS]
We all have on-the-job stress — but a new report that lists the 10 most stressful jobs indicates some occupations are decidedly more worrisome. Others? Well, not so much.

Amazingly, there are still people on the planet who are connected to the internet, but don't know that The Onion is not a source for actual news. These dim bulbs and dull knives clearly don't understand satire, and the fact that it is the basis of all Onion content.
This ignorance is still running so rampant that there is even a blog that posts the Facebook commentary of the slow ones who surf among us. And this time, they found a congressman who fell for a fake story from America's Finest News Source.
Valentine's Day will soon be upon us and that means people around the world will be trying to get engaged. If you're one of these lovebirds and are feeling anxious about popping the question, don't worry. If you let these emotions get the best of you, you might end up chickening out and marrying your cat. We're not joking.
Whether it be the commercials, the halftime show or, you know, the game itself, the Super Bowl gets everyone fired up — so much so that the Super Bowl party has become an American institution.
Not much can dampen the enthusiasm we have for the biggest game in the sports world. But here are a few things you don't want to hear at any Super Bowl bash.
What's the Super Bowl about, really? Unless you're a supporter of one of the two teams participating (or have a very large wager on the game) even serious sports fans can get caught up in all the chili-baking, party-attending, big-screen-TV-buying hoopla surrounding this unofficial national holiday.
So that's why this photo of a skillfully assembled cold cut football stadium probably says more about the Super Bowl and what it has become than any monosyllabic answer the media is going to finally coax out of Patriot coach Bill Belichick this week.
Photos of the Earth taken from space are nothing new, but you've never seen the planet like this before, guaranteed. Dubbed "Blue Marble," this NASA photo is a staggering 64-megapixels with an 8000 x 8000 resolution.
Who doesn't love chips? They're convenient, salty, inexpensive, available just about anywhere and the perfect way to enjoy a delicious dip. Oh, and also they sometimes look like celebrities, video game characters and even Jesus. Wait…what??
Any ol' Super Bowl party can have chips and dip, or a deluxe ultra Barcalounger with built-in footstool, surround-sound system and Kegerator. If
Ever since Newt Gingrich returned to prominence a few months ago, people have been mentioning how much Dwight Schrute, the character Rainn Wilson plays on 'The Office,' resembles a young Newt Gingrich.
With the Oscar nominations just announced, you're probably wondering who will win The Razzies, the awards which honors the worst in the year in film. While the Razzie nominations won't be announced until Oscar weekend (the dubious awards will be handed out on April Fool's Day this year), we have some predictions for who could be taking home a Golden Raspberry trophy this year.
What is frosting? Frosting is a photo trend just like Tebowing or Planking except this one is limited to those lucky people surrounded by snow. Coined by Montanans, frosting involves taking a photo of yourself looking casual while doing warm weather things in the snow. See some examples inside. Warning frosters prefer to not wear much in the cold.
Do you have one of these? We never had one until recently. Very recently. Finally gave in and got a Kinect-Xbox. WOW!
In one corner, we have PlayStation, the video game console engineered by Sony that's currently in it's third evolution on top of its PSP, PS Vita and PlayStation Move installments. Along with game play, users can stream movies and TV shows through Netflix and Hulu, listen to music and more.
In the other, we have Xbox, Microsoft's sixth-generation console that was the first technology in the game world to feature a hard disk drive, which eliminated the need for memory cards. The newest installment, Xbox 360 with Kinect, gives players the ability to use their own bodies and voice as the controllers.
