I think it makes a great gift for tea lovers. You get to interact with the whole tea-steeping process and see the leaves unfold. A very cool idea and makes a great cup of tea.—Jesse
Great mug!!!! I'll be ordering another to share with the wife.(maybe).—greg
I use this steeping cup for cold brewing jasmine pearls and it's absolutely perfect for the job. It makes the process a breeze, from the initial rinsing of the pearls to the multiple infusions I steep throughout the day. It's not the best for regular Steeping, as the cup gets way too hot even at white tea steeping temperatures. Go with the similar handled mug for hot tea. For cold brewing, though, I can't recommend this cup enough! —Sockbert
This is my favorite cup. I like to resteep my leaves over and over and drink three or more cups of the same leaves over the course of an evening. Whoever invented the lid that doubles as a saucer was a GENIUS. It lets me set aside the steeping basket while I drink and when the cup is empty I just pop it back in and add more water. The cup gets hot, like all cups, but I actually find the warmth emanating into my hands to be part of its charm. I highly recommend it. —Kyra
What a fantastic cup this is. It's shaped just like a gaiwan but holds more liquid. It has a removable filter/strainer which then sits neatly into the the upside down placed lid, so there is no mess or trying to find something to place the strainer on after brewing. The cup is so easy and convenient to use. Once you sit down to relax you don't have to get up and go back to the kitchen. This is a very well thought out product. I can't stop using it now. Going to order one for my daughter.—Tracy
Write a review...—Lavenia Malesich
I was looking for a cup like this for quite a while so whaen i bumped into this site and saw it I ordered one right away. I am glad that steepware is available to make brewing the perfect cuppa a conveinient and enjoyable expeirience—quiltedkat
This mug is the best, easiest way to make a spot of tea. Good quality, beautiful color. I use ours everyday. A perfect gift for any tea lover.—Shay Kamme
I just received my Steeping Cup. It is very well made and I even more so enjoyed steeping my teas. The ONLY downfall is that the cup gets EXTREMELY HOT and you cant handle it untill its cool. I am returning it and ordering the mug with a handle!!!—Cory Tanner

This cup is so awesome. Perfect for steeping my tea. The design is fun, well made, neat and clean. The cup gets hot but I hold it from the top so really I find no problem with it at all. I will also get others so that my family and friends can enjoy such a fun cup and great tasting teas as i do.—Preston
This little cup is perfect if you don't want to make a big pot, which is how I usually ended up wasting so much tea since I am the only tea drinker in my house. So this cup is almost perfect, just wish it had a handle. It can get a little hot on the outside, but I grab it from the top anyways so it's not a huge deal to me, but so someone else it might be.—Michelle
Received this yesterday. Really like it and enjoy its function and style. Will probably order another for others. Nicely made and like the fact that its advertised as lead free.—Craig
I love these tea steeping cups. And how cool to read about the company they come from. They used to carry them in our Whole Foods, and I've given them as gifts to all my tea-drinking friends. Beautiful quality of workmanship, and I love your story!—Cindy
The perfect vessel for my greens, whites, and oolongs. The large infuser allows plenty of room for the leaves to unfurl and I enjoy the smaller portion that thsi vessel yields... particularly with the aforementioned teas. This system allows for "gong-fu-like" preparation one cup at a time. —Robbie C.

IOIO Box
by srownin, published
0 ShareDownload This Thing!
Thing Info
I created a box for my IOIO. The box provides space for a 9V battery below the board. I have my battery connected with an inline switch, so I have also added an inset openning in the box for this switch (RadioShack part# 275-0409).
This is an STL file that will print both the box and the lid. The lid is sized to slide right into the top of the box. Be careful the first time so you do not damage the box.
The lid has been personalized with my company name. I am happy to provide the Sketchup file for those who want to change the name on the cover.
I will also try to provide an update that says IOIO on the lid.

Best Place To Get Incensed (2001)
Hippie Gypsy
It's hard to get good incense now that Jerry Garcia is gone and the Grateful Dead aren't touring. We used to pick up a year's supply of our favorite cones and sticks from Deadhead parking-lot vendors, but those days are over. Well, almost. We've found a swell, smelly stash at Hippie Gypsy, an upscale head shop busting at the seams with black-light posters and clove cigarettes and water pipes. Entire walls of this fragrant shop are devoted to displaying incense and sages, along with a vast array of paraphernalia for safe burning. The store's homemade incense is of superior quality, and the commercial versions aren't bad, either. (There's even a line called Liquid Blue Grateful Dead Incense with fragrances like "Campfire Jam" and "Fractal Steal Your Face.") And unlike the Dead show vendors, the clerks at Hippie Gypsy can actually make correct change and focus on their clientele without seeing double. Whoa, dude!

The African Presence and Survival In America, A Story of Interest To All

More polls by Latti Ice Nerd Gangsta of PHAET
Sort By
- RandyScott (TCOG) 2015/01/04 21:37:52Interesting; I'd Like to AddI honestly expected something different.
Not because I don't know that African Americans have helped shape this Country, but because so many don't.
While I do appreciate pointing things like this out, I would much rather people just consider themselves as Americans, and leave the rest of it off. Learn your Heritage and keep what's good about it alive, but when it come to the way we treat each other today, it has to be as equals, without regard to race.
I wish it had been that way from day one, but I can't change the past. I can only try to improve the future.
- Cosworth 2015/01/02 01:50:32
- NarcolepticGoat 2015/01/02 00:33:47Interesting; I'd Like to Add+2It is interesting how the people kidnapped from Africa to become slaves in the Americas and Caribbean all kept at least a little of their birth cultures, not only that, but managed under horrific conditions to build entirely new cultures blended from home and the new lands.
I grew up in Brasil where the old religion not only flourished, but blended with others. Although recently has begun to ditch the old saint "cover" names and begun going with the old names The Catholic and native influences still show
- lm1b2 2013/02/18 22:41:29Interesting+1Interesting to African Americans maybe,i have read a lot of your history sense the end of the Civil war,the US Gov. has spent Billions of dollars,perhaps trillions,and except for a few who made it in sports, the majority have gone no where,there still in the Ghetto looking for more Gov. handouts,and because i speak the truth,you will now call me a Racists,so be it!
- Your false drivel is getting tiresome, and you obviously didn't read the post; take your narrowness somewhere else.
- Saint Paul the Decider 2013/02/18 15:41:05
- Susana 2013/02/18 15:37:57InterestingWhat would be more interesting Is to present here all the contributions the blacks made before 1620.
When the African blood began to mix with the caucasian blood then things begin to change for the better for the blacks.
But what contributions did the blacks make to the world before 1620?
I would appreciate honest answers
Without anger.
and no andar.
- +1A lot:
From the great kingdoms of Egypt, Timbuktu, Ancient Moroccan kingdom, Ethiopia etc....The people of Timbuktu knew about the moons eclipses and phases before the Europeans did. Africa was a vibrant place before Colonialism.
Lastly; Africa has the most diverse DNA/genes, more than any place in the world. So if every continent was wiped out of humans, Africa will still have every phenotype there.
- Susana Latti I... 2013/02/19 00:33:48Thank you for your reply.
According to scientist Richard Dawkins
everyone is a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth
because of the river of DNA
And yes in 1 of his books he wrote about
African Eve.
I'm a believer in the Genesis account.

- Sissy 2013/02/18 12:25:15 (edited)Interesting; I'd Like to Add+5Thank you so much for posting this. "Wonderful" seems so inadequate, but I loved reading every word.
Another riveting side story to this is the struggle Thomas Jefferson had with the "slave issue" when he was penning the Constitution. Although he was a wealthy "owner" himself, (as were a good share of or Founding Fathers), he was troubled by his "All Men Are Created Equal) statement and did make several tepid attempts to address slavery, of course to no avail. The thing with him though, he didn't believe that black people were all that equal and considered their intelligence to be only 3/5ths as good as their masters. At one point when he was figuring out what they could do with them if they should be freed, was to either send them back to Africa or find an Island somewhere, where they could have their own country.
- Chris- Demon of the PHAET 2013/02/18 04:30:19
- Big One 0909 2013/02/18 03:56:20Interesting; I'd Like to Addyou mean the TRUTH? Or the revisionist version being pushed in schools today?
And where was the option for people to disagree with you? how will you ever learn anything?

- Leslie ... Latti I... 2013/02/18 05:55:20+2That was better. I can articulate now what I meant about compassion. You see, people who do not have trials in life and don't have a hard way to go are unable to develop compassion. At least deep compassion. I sit in church and wonder how people show no emotion when we talk of our Lord dying for us on the cross. You see, most white people feel entitled. I know. I am Native also but I know how they all are tracing their roots back to some aristocrat or other. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I am watching "A Patch of Blue" now. Always very moving.

Do you even comprehend the question and the post or do you just like to start typing absent of both?
You do a disservice by coming on a post when it is obvious you don't understand the question. The African presence is of those who did come from West Africa and planted a seed of their rich heritage, spirituality, etc...into the fabric of this nation. If you had read the post before talking, it starts off as African Americans into Black Americans.
That is why the title of the post is " The African Presence and Survival In America, A Story of Interest To All."

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. »Read Full Article(20)

Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

The cinnamon mostly used in Mexican cuisine is called Ceylon, or Canela in Spanish, and it is also known as true cinnamon. It is quite different from Cassia, which is mostly found in US stores. However, as time moves on, one can find true cinnamon in an increasing number of stores here.
The differences are in the looks but also in the flavor and aroma. Ceylon, or true cinnamon (pictured on the right side of the photo), has a milder but sweeter taste. It crumbles much easier, has a lighter color and each stick looks different from the rest. It also has more fragrance than Cassia. Cassia (pictured on the left side of the photo) sticks are much more uniform, so one stick looks very much like the next. It has a darker color, it is much harder, thus very difficult to tear or crumble. While it is less sweet than Ceylon, it has a much stronger, and even a bit harsh, flavor.
POSTED IN: Herbs & Spices, Ingredients
TAGS: Cassia, Ceylon, Cinnamon

I am so glad to see that you've shared the difference between these two types of cinnamon! Not only is Ceylon sweeter than Cassia, it is also safer to use in high doses as it has 1200x less Coumarin (which is a blood thinner). Ceylon is currently my favorite herb! =)
Nicely done Pati. I am wondering since, Mexican recipes use Ceylon Cinnamon exclusively how many of your recipes in your book use Ceylon Cinnamon. Impressive that the book is an Amazon best seller.
How do I know? My package says El Sabor de Mexico– Canela entera. It looks like the cinnamon sticks on the left. They are hard and do not crumble easily.
De la canela Mexicana sale un te deliciosamente rojo. La canela imitacion, da un te de color sucio.
Canela en el café, para una explosión de sabor..
What is Saigon Cinnamon, which I prefer?
Muchas gracias Pati por la información. Yo no sabia distinguir las dos canelas. Esto me ayudo mucho.Y si aqui en USA ya se puede encontrar canela pura.Gracias de nuevo por tu ayuda.
Estoy de acuerdo con el comentario de Velia!👍
That is exceptional information! It explains why I buy ground cinnamon and find that I have to use so much more than the newspaper recipes specify. In future I will be more selective about which cinnamon I buy. Ceylon!
Saigon Cinnamon is NOT Ceylon Cinnamon. It is very nice but has very high levels of Coumarin which can damage your liver.

This is the perfect pink blush I have found. It is best when its paired with Benefit Hoola (or any bronzer that you may use). Cargo gives you a ton of product which is nice for a change. I have pale skin, and thought this would be to obvious for me, but it gives your skin that porceline doll look. Love it!!

Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm

I despise the packaging, but the tin holds tons of product. The tin is just difficult to get open sometimes, so it's a double edged sword! The catalina color is a beautiful clear pink and looks great, lasts forever. I love this color, because on me, it's the color my cheeks will get when I've been out in the cold or go for a jog!! It's my all time favorite blush shade, and I'll buy it again in the unlikely event it runs out in my lifetime!! After many years, Catalina is still my HG blush.

Beautiful sheer shade of pale-medium pink. I love it b/c I can wear this shade in the winter or summer, no matter if I am my normal cool light-medium complection, or if I have self-tanned and have a nice bronze complection (actually, I go for more of a tan glow look). I cannot imagine who this shade would not look good on. It gives you gorgeous glow, and with a little NARS Nico over it...WOW! It looks like you are glowing from the inside.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I heard such good things about this blush from a friend of mine and the reviews seem to be raving about this particular bubble gum pink coloured blush. You definitely have to use a light hand with this one, or you can look very "clownish". HOWEVER as pigmented as this blush is.. this did not even last HALF the day on my skin. I have normal/dry/combo skin. Altho you get a lot of product, you need a lot because you have to touch up throughout the day!.. very disappointed in this first CARGO product and will not consider anymore from that line.. Prices for this brand is RIDICULOUS high! that's $24 down the drain for me. I guess this is another cosmetic product to add to my vast makeup graveyard. i will never stray from my MAC again!!!

This is a pretty pretty shade of pink. It has a flushed look when applied with a light hand. There seems to be a lot of product in the package. The blush crumbles more than other ones when you sweep your brush on it. But I would definitely buy this again as I haven't seen any other pinks out there that are so uplifting in color. Nice.

Cargo has the only blush that does not give me a rash or cause acne with I am very prone to.

I never thought I could wear such a cool toned blush color! This lovely pink has become a staple in my m/u wardrobe--- and the darn tin is so huge it's going to last me forever! I like to wear it w/ taupes on my eyes or purples and then a matching baby pink l/g. Gorgeous with a capital G. Love it! FFF/NC25, Stila 40 watts/dk brn hair & eyes

Beautiful bubblegum pink with no shimmer that looks angelic on my fair skin. When I'm wearing no other makeup, I lightly swirl this on the apples of my cheeks and I look fresh, bright and clean. It's one of those colors that looks like it's coming from inside my skin, not from on top of it. Cargo's colors always make me feel sweet, girly and pretty, and Catalina does that times 10. Lovely.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
Cargo blushes have enjoyed a surge of popularity on MUA and are well-received in Paula Begoun's book on cosmetics. "Catalina" is their brightest shade.
Color: Warm bubblegum pink (meaning no blue tones).
Texture: Matte and distinctively smooth.
Packaging: Couldn't be better. The blush comes in Cargo's trademark wide tin, making application simple.
Price: $22US. Higher than average, but you do get more product and it's less expensive than Nars, which comes in a smaller container and isn't as compressed.
My Advice: If you are in the market for a truly pink blush, it doesn't get much better than this. The only prohibitive feature may be the price, but this is easy to get past once you see how much quality and quantity you are paying for. continued >>
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Beautiful color and so soft and pretty on. I can see how you can easily overdo these because of how pigmented they are, but with a poofy brush and a light hand, Catalina is really very lovely. I received this one in a swap but would certainly re-purchase and try other colors as well. The only thing that can detract from my rating is that it didn't last AS LONG on as a NARS blush I received about the same time. Comparing the two day-by-day, the NARS won out for lasting. Despite this, I can still recommend these fab blushes and will continue to use them as well.

165 km from Budapest. A chilled out atmosphere, right beside the lake. Beautiful green areas, big garden, rent-a-bike, wifi, beach, BBQ, bar, wine tasting, parties, games and more.
Révfülöp lies on the shore of Lake Balaton near the northern hills on the border of the Kali basin and Balatonfelvideki National Park. This makes for an adventure-filled stay with limitless amount of things to do and see including hiking, sight-seeing, swimming, suntanning and breath-taking views.
What travellers think
Very nice place and friendly staff. Watch out with the map that's on the website, location of the hostel on the map is wrong. It is the only hostel in the place right in front of the train station.
Tue 22 Sep 2015
The hostel is really nice, however is a good place for people looking for the party not the calm place to stay, as there is the bar in the hotel (one of the main bars in the village, so it's most of the times full of people and loud music). The rooms are ok, facilities as well, internet is working only outside in the bar, it's located close to the 2 Balaton beaches (but both of them are paid) and in the vineyards region, so the bike tour in the basin is recommended. Overall: very good!

Options With Modding My V3.02 Psp
Posted 27 June 2007 - 10:30 AM
I recently bought a PSP off ebay (a bargain cause it had a broken hinge on the UMD door, which was easily fixed) and id like to get some info regarding what i can do with a psp, what i can do when i mod it etc... Im finally entering the PSP scene lol
From my research so far ive determined it has the v3.02 FW, and i cant downgrade that firware. Im looking at buying an Undiluted Platinum chip and installing it...Or is there a FW higher than 3.02 that can be downgraded?
So, what kinda things can you do with a modded PSP? What kind of hopmebrew is there (emulators, media centers, etc...). If theres a guide or something that answers all my questions, that would be great!
Posted 27 June 2007 - 02:43 PM
And the downgrader for 3.5 was released today!!!!!!
As for what a modded psp can do. there are emulators, media things, and other homebrew stuff.
My favorite is the emulators, im playing super smash bros. n64 right now, Daedalus (n64 emulator) R12 was just released today also, and runs at a pretty good fps
Posted 28 June 2007 - 07:48 AM
And the downgrader for 3.5 was released today!!!!!!
Wow, thats lucky lol... so its best if i buy this lumines game and upgrade the FW to 3.5, then downgrade it to whichever firmware thats cracked?
Yeah, ive been reading about the emulators, it would be awesome to play all my fav games from old console like th 64 and SNES, etc...
So what risks are involved? I have heard of quite a few people bricking theyre PSP... how likely is it that ill brcik mine? (I guess it really just comes down to wether i follow everything properly)
Lol, damn that lumines game is quite exepensive... seems everyone wants to get it to downgrade theyre psp..
EDIT: I found an unpateched copy of GTA: LBC on ebay for cheap, so ill do the 3.03 downgrade.
One more question, if i buy a 4gb memory stick, will that work with the older firmware? Or is it better just to get a 2gb stick?
Edited by ausmods, 28 June 2007 - 07:59 AM.
Posted 28 June 2007 - 10:13 AM
Is there a site that has all of the latest files to download? Or a site that everyone trusts? (kind of like xbins or something)
Posted 29 June 2007 - 06:15 AM
as for getting your files, I only go to 2 places. Either go to psphacks.com or pspupdates.com (this one is all about psp stuff, but if you want to go to the place where you actually download the things the link is dl.qj.net)
Dont download anything from any other sites because some people like to be A**holes and upload fake stuff and you end up bricking your psp
EDIT: as for the chances of bricking your psp when doing this are very low as long as you follow the instructions word for word.
Currently since the psp scene has gotten much bigger, the downgraders and custom firmwares have about the same chance of bricking as the official sony updates, so if you just follow instructions nothing bad will happen

OK cool, ill have a look if that site is still going. Also, i think i read the latest custom FW is the 3.40OA E or something like that... Newest is best right? lol
Posted 01 July 2007 - 11:09 PM
I think Dark_alex (guy who makes custom firmwares) is working on a 3.50 OE-A though, but for now 3.40 OE-A is what you want to be at.
As for the newest being the best....it used to be like that because the only way to edit the topmenu_plugin.rco (file that makes the xmb look the way it is) was if you was at 3.03 OE-C or below, but now you can do it on any custom firmware version

P.S. check out the XBMC remote interface if you have XBMC on your xbox. it's a great little app.
Posted 04 July 2007 - 06:19 AM
The CPU speed setting really helped the framerate in a lot of my PSP games (especially GTA: LCS, it was awful with the amount of lag) and it even made Daedalus run faster, Super Smash is reasonably playable, but still a little slow. Thankyou so much Dark_Alex (not that he'll read this, but anyway lol)... me and an awful lot of people owe so much to him lol
P.S. check out the XBMC remote interface if you have XBMC on your xbox. it's a great little app.
Yeah, I got R12. And im guessing that app makes the PSP act like the xbox media remote? Thats pretty neat! lol

Yeah, the only 2 gaes ive played on the PSP that i like are the GTA games and some of the Need for Speed games... The homebrew is what makes the PSP good though...
Posted 06 July 2007 - 05:14 AM
but there are a couple of good psp games....such as metal gear solid portable ops., Valhalla Knights if your into RPG's, Dynasty Warriors if your into fighting/ button mashers, and finally Loco Roco if you want something simple but entertaining

Uber is in Wellington – and its free for now
I wrote about San Francisco's Uber arriving in Auckland back in March – and already the service has expanded to Wellington. Currently operating on a similar trial basis as Uber did ahead of it's full Auckland launch – a stage which the company call's "Uber Secret".
There's a difference however. Rather than just a credit Uber launched with in Auckland they're offering up to two free rides per person each week until 21 September. If you can get one that is – because there are not many Uber cars on the road in Wellington just yet. When I've checked it's been about 50/50 whether or not one is available. And so far not much chance of getting an Uber ride from the airport.
And best not to expect a free ride to Palmerston North or similar – the free rides are limited to the Wellington metro area only. It's worth noting that at signup or after installing the app you can use a promo code/voucher for free credit. The UberNZ promo code currently puts up to $25 credit into new accounts – click through for $25 Uber credit code (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch)
The code UberNZ not only gives you up to $25 credit but also puts credit in my Uber account (thanks). With Auckland and Wellington now part of the Uber family, one has to wonder how far off a Christchurch Uber launch might be?
Update July 2015: Uber Christchurch is about to launch.
Topics I discussed on The Paul Henry Show, NZ Tech Podcast, Newstalk ZB
This week was packed with a number exciting projects with the Gorilla Technology team and our clients. I also slotted in some media activities. That included my usual NZ Tech Podcast episode, along with a live interview on The Paul Henry Show with Rebecca Wright and an afternoon interview with Rachel Smalley on Newstalk ZB's Larry Williams Drive show.
- The Paul Henry Show – TV3: Facebook experiment criticised
- NZ Tech Podcast 186: Google IO, 2degrees 4G LTE launch, Govts $65m towards the Hawaiki undersea cable
- Larry Williams Drive – Newstalk ZB: Google's 'right to be forgotten'
I start next week with a Monday morning (8.15am) chat on TV3's breakfast news show 'Firstline' with Sacha McNeil and Michael Wilson. Tuesday sees another episode of the NZ Tech Podcast – in this case with digital innovator Mitch Olson.
Later in the month I'm speaking at Media Tech Pacific Conference in Auckland – an event for those involved in the Broadcasting, Cinema/TV Production, and Digital Media industries across New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands. The title for my presentation is 'Internet Trends' which gives plenty of scope to talk about past, present and future changes in the industry and my take on where things are headed.

When I look back on my life I have made a lot of money and have spent a lot of money pursuing hobbies. Of all the things I have done, none of them were more fun than playing with my grandchildren and playing with my grandchildren is free.

When I ride my destination is the ride itself. So I always get to where I am going.
Just An update: she had a friend who was getting a
married in ten days and I guess she ended up hooking up with her friends fiancé now the wedding is called off. So it turns out tthat my cycling had nothing to do with it and she's just a bad person. Ok well gonna go try out mmy new speedplays

An ex-girlfriend a few years back told me I spend more time on my bike than with her. I feel you. A good woman is hard to find. But I believe that a good woman understands and supports one's passions. Maybe even join in them. When we broke up, I told her 2 things:
1) "Cycling was here before you and it will be here after you."
2) "Cycling demands a lot from me, but it will never CHEAT on me."
Take it from a guy who has been married for a lot longer than you've been around.
Ideally you should both share a "respect" for each other's hobbies. You dont have to share the same hobbies (that's nice but not always feasible). As long as you give each other room to enjoy your hobbies that's all you can ask.
Also, balance in life is important. If ridng your bike (or whatever you do) keeps you from spending quality time together, you will have problems.
In my case, the fact that my wife and I enjoy different activities makes life's journey richer and more interesting.
You are young, use this "down time" as an opportunity for some introspection and self-development. Grow as a person and don't be in too much of a hurry to hook up again.
Good luck!

When I started to spend my weekends cycling, my girlfriend was a bit angry at me that I spend weekends on the road instead with her since we work in different cities and the weekends are actually the only time we see each other. So I said to her: "go get your old bike and come with me". And so she did. At first few rides, she complained. But after about a month I told her that her legs and butt look much firmer now
The next day she went to buy a new bike and now she rides with me every weekend
They say that the taste of vengeance is bittersweet, but I find it to my liking.
A good friend of started dating a guy who is seriously into mountain biking. He always had to go on big rides on the weekends. During the week, his workout schedule came first. She was third in his life, behind the bike and his dog.
She is 5'2", platinum blonde with an amazing figure and a sweet face. it's all natural. Very intelligent, she's a millionaire by her own efforts. Got a great job & investment property of her own. And she's a nice person just to be around.
This guy blew it. She moved on.

The two things I could not live without are physical activity and travel. I teach fitness: Pilates, yoga, personal training, and I dance. When I am not traveling, I am planning my next trip, and very often my work goes with me. I have been very fortunate to teach in Italy, Finland, and Argentina.
I am from Finland, but have been living in Washington, D.C. for a long time. As most Finns, I am very practical, organized, and efficient, and an easy guest - not whiny at all. If needed, I can also provide references from previous hosts.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- She's not ready to be president, but with time she could become "adequate."
That's Lawrence Eagleburger's assessment of Sarah Palin.
The former secretary of state and John McCain supporter was asked in an interview with National Public Radio if he thought the Alaska governor would be ready to take over in a crisis. His response: "of course not."
But he went on to say he could name "any number of other vice presidents who were not particularly up to it, either."
Eagleburger says the question that should be asked is "can she learn and would she be tough enough" if she were asked to become president? He says if she's given some time as vice president he expects she'd be adequate, though not likely "a genius in the job."
Asked about Eagleburger's assessment, McCain tells ABC's "Good Morning America": "Larry has never had a chance to meet Sarah."

Weighed-in yesterday. I'm up to the exact point I was when I BOUGHT the scale. Now true, I didn't work-out that often last week, but I didn't eat like a pig (much). I just don't even want to talk about it. Seriously, much depressing.
Anyway, some new goals for the month:
1. One "sugary" thing each day. I'm trying to include "high fructose corn syrup" in this particular category. For instance, today I was gonna put some jelly on my sandwich, but it had high fuctose corn syrup, so thankfully I'd just bought some fruit spread that just has the fruit and some juice. I substituted.
2. One serving of cheese/day. Now, I'm not totally sure of the size of my serving, but I'm only going to have cheese in one thing per day. Period. Cheese is my downfall, it's nothing to be proud of.
3. One hour long workout and 2 1/2 hour workouts/week. This morning I did the All Star Workout with Ellen Barrett, it's not hard coreography, but she worked me hard.
4. 1/2 hour of walking or 15 minutes of weights at least 3 times a week.
5. No eating after 7 pm.
Oh, and lots of water… lots, and lots of water.
So, just another weighty blog entry, just trying to write it all out and give myself some gumption.

Is it possible to convert a string to a file without writing it to disk?
I would like to work ubiquitously with either a string of a file:
input = "123"
if (ARGV.length == 1)
input = File.open(ARGV[0])
#do stuff with input
Can I create a file from a string (without writing to disk)? Otherwise, I would not be able to do
input.readline() when it's a string.

the bloody easiest thing to do is ride the mers, live in 5 star hotels and pee on the people who are forced to pee on the roads --- i get nauseated from these writings of these @#$%&* aristocrats who think that the people peeing on the road are spoiling the image of their country ----------i would like to pee on them! Have you ever gone on a way side urinal ????l inspite of the exteme filth you will see a regular stream of people trying to relive themselves --iwould invite ranjani to try and pee in any one of the pub;at least once for a trial in her life
While Ranjani may think that Indian men do not know proper toilet etiquette, the real problem is there is a lack of public toilets in India. Those that do exist are not hygienic due to overuse. That's the reason why men piss on walls and shit on railroad tracks.
I do not agree with both of you, there are plenty of options to pee except for the road. and if there is nothing still it does not mean that you will pee around the city. there are countries(like america) where you may not find a toilet for miles but still you don't see anybody peeing.
If there is no place to pee then don't pee period.
That men in India, regardless of where they may belong to, piss anywhere on the roadside is partly attitudinal, helped of course by certain anatomical advantages, which other men in other parts of the world do not seem to take advantage of. Yes, there is certainly lack of public utilities but that doesn't give anybody the right to do the 'job' according to ones whim or fancy. I am a man too, with all my anatomical appendages in order, yet in these 35 years of existence, I do not remember of going off wherever and whenever I had the urge, because of a small thing I have inculcated, 'public manners'. This has nothing to do with being privileged or not.
A way to tackle this is is to paint images of Gods (Of all religions) on the walls were men pee. With no 'clean' walls left to pee, men will be forced to pee somewhere out of sight and not on a side walk.
Mohanty whilest being pungent in her remarks in the same vein is practical in her understanding of this Indain trait . She succeeds in evoking a decent sense of humor in the minds of her readers.
@Vineesh: That's a good idea. And one that has been tried before. In fact, there's a joke about how on one wall in Bangalore, they painted images of Hindu Gods, Islamic symbols, and the Cross. They thought this ought to keep out pissers of all faiths. But the Hindus end up pissing on Islamic symbols, the Christians end up pissing on the Hindu images, and Muslims piss on the cross. When a man's gotta go-- he's gotta go.
its not only an Indian issue. Public urination has a global presence.
chk this out
Without taking away from the merits of the issue, the article itself seems to need an editor's sharp pencil
I once urinated right in the middle of the financial district in San Francisco by the street side, although at late night. Reason being a bursting bladder and lack of a restroom in the vicinity at the BART station.
Once an Indian always an Indian, I thought to myself, and even boast about it till date to my friends from back home...
Does Ms I M have any insights / analysis about the reason(s) for such a behaviour ?
Beyond stating the obvious , does the observer - author have any practical solution ?
The person who started Sulabh Shauchalayas has done far greater REAL service than Media Intellectuals . Such are the initiatives which should be subsidised from public money .
Spitting is a similar menace . Paan- / tobacco - chewing & / or not cleaning teeth in the morning are the reasons .
Loud talking in public ,
impatience while commuting ,
defacing monuments ,
frenzied gatherings / processions during festivals ...
People's lack of civic sense is known to even those without civic sense themselves ! ( Like regular bribers criticising corruption ) .
Most of such LONG - HAUL challenges may be addressed mainly through ( i ) awareness creation , ( ii ) penalty , ( iii ) exemplary behaviour by the very few with moral courage , and ( iv ) through overall Education that imparts sensitivity .
Hello Ranjani, great article...I thought of saying that people who read this here in WSJ won't be doing it anyways, but sounds like it's not true....I guess these things are common across all states in India, I face this problem right in front of our home at Chennai. Chennai must be the capital of this activity, besides spitting from bus! I make it a point to keep the platform clean, otherwise it's more of a trait issue...whenever people see garbage and mess, they tend to urinate whether there's a need or not. My dad used to talk about an Air India ad long ago which said some thing like this: attending to call of nature is unavoidable, but should you need an audience for this? wonder why Air India issued that ad....I guess among many other things toilet training should be taught from school.......
FABULOUS ARTICLE. it exposes problems that have become so much a part of india's culture that no one even minds anymore. a job well done
I find it particulary amusing how those who have not even properly read this article are taking defense of their indian heritage. There in lies the problem of Indian society.
the only way to solve this problem, is to make them an offer they cant refuse.
Hey pop, we thought you was dead!
Bird eye view. Our Country India needs some social revolution to tackle these problems. I think the attitude & perception of the people also count for this. We have to change these social problems.
I don't know if this complies with WSJ's request for "thoughtful comments", but (taking a leaf out of all the amazing bloggers' completely irrelevant comments) let me add the following anyway: Our aim must be to keep the roadside walls of Indian cities uniformly wet -- your aim would help.
Re. why women dont do the same, its probably the same as why men walk barechested and women dont.
We Indians always are belittling our innate nature, as if we are just the nature if the Indian male to urinate in public, when all it requires is fight for the provision of clean toilets at regular locations. No human likes to defecate or urinate in public, until the lack of provisions psychologically begins to make it a shameless act.
Instead of wondering how women can hold there bladder, I wish the Indian intelligentsia, would spend their efforts trying to get more maintained toilets, such as available in some other developing countries such as Vietnam.
The author has not done a thorough research. She has not tried to reserach the subject in detail. the demography of the people who urinate. The nature of the population in that demography.
Its primary reason for doing so. Its very easy to preach when you go around in an AC car, have money to go to a restaurant and make him allow you to use it, mainly sit in offices, hotels or houses.
the common man who spends his day on the street. Drinks lot of water and has no way to reach home to pee has no other option.
Try to research it. Find a effective solution and then write on it. Else it shows your French Royalty attitude where if people don't have anything to eat then you recomend them to eat bread.
I largely agree with Nishit's comments (no. one in the list) which is critical of the article.It is also a question of numbers and probability factor.You may have 10000 persons at a time on a certain stretch of one km. road in Delhi compared to 500 persons in a large city in a western countriy. There is a much higher probability of a couple of people having uncontrollable urge in our numbers. Women do not go because they,at least middle and upper class women, are so careful that they stop taking any liquid hours before they plan to go somewhere. And there is a psychosomatic or mind over body factor involved. They know that they can't go and the body controls the urge.In the present conditions and numbers, it does not bother me to see a few men who are themselves acutely embarrassed but have no other alternative except to pee in their pants.I have a very unhelpful bladder and am speaking from experience.
And I agree that lower class workers including drivers who are out of the house for the whole day and have to have their tea and water have mostly no easy alternatives. And of course the factor of their couldn't care less for such upper class standards of behavior does come into play.
Whats bad? As we say beauty is in the eye of beholder similarly dirty is in the eye of audience. I think we must develop a scientific perception of this. Once you are able to do this it won't be a problem for you. Just a phenomenon. Oh yes, students of statistics/probability can do wonderful researches on this.After all who gets such live projects and internships on human behavior. Art students can also try their hands.
Peeing in streets is definitely a problem in most of our urban centers. And lack of accesible public toilets IS the real problem here. However the govt in its infinite wisdom can employ some scare tactic to get quick results before the C'wealth games..like maybe employing a few volunteers to patrol the streets with huge scissors!!
I am an Indian pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering in the US. When i am in the US, i follow their rules! When i am back in India, i would LOVE to pee in open places (not necessarily public places). It is a great feeling to be natural and one with the universe!
It is really cool to be natural! Ours is a poor country and imagine how many billions of rupees we need to build public toilets for our entire population! Infact, it would be cool to have designated peeing places with enclosures in urban areas. This way public can pee and the onlookers can't see... green and low cost solution? !
Even if public toilets we there, they smell like so bad and are poorly maintained. I would never feel like peeing in an India public toilet! They are pathetic!
As far as women are concerned, i'm sorry for them. They need privacy !
Our cities are so ill planned and i guess we need new well planned cities for the future!
Oh yeah! women r most welcom to show off & pee, facing the other way! BTW, can ranjini elaborate a bit more on "emerging from te pants" & "caught dangling"? we wud all just luv to read up on that one as well!

Bada Bing Bada Bang, they piss all over your Ivy Leage Suit!
Ummm im seeing a godfather theme here
Sanitation has been neglected so long that public urination has become an accepted part of Indian civic life. If any confirmation is required, one only has to look at the lax building codes that allow even high profile projects like the Delhi Metro to start operations without toilet facilities at stations. A beginning should be made by updating social studies textbooks to reduce acceptability of this custom, while also updating building codes so that newer developments don't continue in the same tradition.
But I've often come across men in Delhi who take a dump beside the road not far from a large throng of people. This sort of behavior has no place in the world. Only in India do you see it. We must get rid of this cultural habit.
believe me,we dont realise that shitting and pissing in the opne is home to bacteria and diseases in addition to the shit entering the water table and polluting our drinking water.no wonder indians suffer from so many problems.we need a strict person like sanjay gandhi or hitler to enforce discipline.enough of the so called chalta hai.

Just joined the forum. I'm a new cyclist, having just bought a new road bike (my first bike since I was 12, which was a long time ago).
The bike's a Trek 1500, aluminium frame with full Ultegra and Bontrager Select wheelset and Look 357 pedals but otherwise stock. I've replaced the Trek saddle with a WTB Speed-V which is comfortable but a little out of place on a road bike, so I will be looking to replace it with something lighter, sleeker, and a probably marginally less comfortable (any suggestions welcome).
I've only been riding for about 10 days now, 140km so far, averaging around 25km/hour (I know it's not either fast or far, but hey I'm just starting).
I'm coming from a background of running 80-100km a week (had to stop for a while due to injury), so strength and endurance should be okay, although I can already feel my running muscles atrophying and my cycling muscles strengthening (which is funny when you consider that they're exactly the same muscles, just used differently).
One amazing thing I've found about cycling is that I've owned my bike for less than two weeks and can only just ride it, but I already have these obsessive thoughts about upgrading (5200, Dura Ace, Mavic, or maybe Colnago C40/Record or Litespeed Tuscany etc etc ...). Why is that?

I have a question about the recipe "Sweet Corn Soup" from Oui, Chef. what if corn is out of season can you use frozen and how much
From Our Friends
powered by ZergNet
Corn is one of the few vegetables in which frozen is almost as good as fresh. We use frozen in most recipes because it is more convenient. Use the same amount as you would fresh. You don't necessarily even need to thaw it; just extend your cooking time.

I know Iowa tends to suck in comparison to other states as far as trailing is concerned, but what actually is available? Primarily on the NW/ Sioux city region. Also, interested in a club in the area too if anybody knows of one.
I'm in the polk county area and the only place i know of is the ottumwa area. I've spent some time on google looking around and i really cant find much. At least being in the soiux city area you could make a weekend trip to colorado or Wyoming easier than me
