This is a report of the transactions of the twelfth annual meeting of the German Society for Study of the Circulation, which has 517 members. Since there were thirty-three presentations at the aforementioned meeting, all of which are printed in this volume, it is obviously impossible to give more than a scanty review of the contents. The chief subjects presented in this collection of individual articles are electrocardiography and cardiac failure. There are twenty-one presentations on electrocardiography, including such diverse subjects as "A new cathode ray electrocardiograph," "Electrocardiography in gun shot wounds of the heart," "The conduction system in auricle and ventricle, particularly in horses" and "On the question of injury of heart muscle in diabetic coma.'"
There is a symposium on "therapy of heart failure" which includes presentations of the physiologic and of the pharmacologic aspects of heart failure, as well as an extensive article by Volhard on treatment.

Aggressive bear, 3 cubs moved from Orlando suburb to Ocala National Forest
Published: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 3:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 3:50 p.m.
LONGWOOD — A female bear and her three cubs were moved from an Orlando suburb to the Ocala National Forest after official's say the mother became aggressive in her defense of them.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that the bears were moved early Wednesday.
Spokesman Lenny Salberg says the female bear was being very protective of her cubs.
He says the decision was made to relocate the bears because of their location in the Orlando suburb of Longwood, an area that has experienced bear attacks in the past year.
The bears were trapped, tranquilized and moved to the Ocala National Forest.

More than a hundred people have been charged or cited for alcohol violations after state agents and local authorities raided two house parties in Greenville last week.
In the first case, Alcohol Law Enforcement agents say they cited Fabian Llamas-Guzman and 28 others after getting a noise complaint at the 20-year-old man's apartment on Bellamy Circle on St. Patrick's Day.
Then on Friday, ALE agents say 75 people were cited for various alcohol-related charges and three people charged after a raid on Lewis Street. Michael Supko, Deryck Deblois and Joseph Bratlinger, all 19 years old, were charged with aid and abetting underage persons with possession of alcohol, underage consumption of alcohol, selling alcohol with proper ABC permits and possession for sale of alcohol. At that party agents seized three kegs of beer.
Early last month an ECU fraternity was placed on suspension after ALE agents arrested two people and cited 60 others at the Pi Kappa Phi house.

Former Man Utd director reveals role in Cantona speech after Crystal Palace kick
16:34 26 November 2012
EMPICS Sport
Maurice Watkins often wonders what happened to the piece of paper upon which one of the most famous phrases football has ever known was written.
It was after an appeal hearing at Croydon Magistrates' Court following his assault on Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons that Eric Cantona delivered the words: "When seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."
At the time it seemed like a bizarre off-the-cuff remark before Cantona ended his brief press conference.
Later, it was revealed to be the Frenchman's assessment of the media pack following him around on the hunt for a story. And Cantona knew what he was going to say all along.
"The whole case had been so big I felt Eric had to say something," said Watkins, at the time a United director and their legal advisor.
"We started to draft a speech on a piece of paper and he asked what the boat was that catches fish. Then he asked what the birds were that fly over the sea.
"Eric went on writing then showed me what he wanted to say.
"Everyone thinks because of the expression on my face that I didn't know what he was going to say. But I did and I often wonder what happened to that piece of paper."
Cantona's words brought some kind of closure to one of the most infamous chapters in football history.
Sent off for a challenge on Palace defender Richard Shaw, Cantona was making his way to the dressing rooms in the corner of Selhurst Park when he heard Simmons shout at him.
Cantona launched himself at the supporter with a kung-fu kick, before following up with a couple of well-aimed punches.
"I was having a cup of tea in the directors' room before being called to the dressing room because police were contemplating some sort of action," said Watkins.
"From then it became clear what a significant event it was. Legally, I will probably never have a case like that again."
Almost immediately, United banned Cantona for the remainder of the season - a total of 21 matches - which the Football Association increased to eight months.
Watkins, and Sir Alex Ferguson, remain of the view that the additional punishment was unfair and borne out of the FA's need to look as though they were actually doing something.
Yet the loss of Cantona's liberty was almost worse.
"We made an immediate mistake on the day of the case because we decided to walk to the court with a police escort," said Watkins.
"It was only 100 yards but there were so many press people about it was very difficult to move. I was nearly knocked down on more than one occasion.
"We thought it was going rather well until the magistrate sentenced Eric to two weeks in prison.
"We lodged an immediate appeal and bail application but Eric was pretty upset when he was whipped down to the cells."
There then followed an almost comic three-and-a-half hours during which a bail application to the same bench was turned down, forcing Watkins and his legal team to dash up the road to the nearby crown court to make a further attempt to get Cantona released.
"It was a mad three hours," said Watkins.
"I did manage to see Eric for a little while but there was not much time to do anything.
"The thing was, whilst you go prepared for anything we were surprised at the sentence because it went against all the established protocols."

Court of Appeals Opinions
State of Tennessee v. Chris Ramey - Concurring
Authoring Judge: Judge Paul G. Summers
Trial Court Judge: Judge Rex Henry Ogle
I agree that the trial court's judgment should be affirmed. I join in Judge Tipton's concurring opinion because I believe that this record is adequate for our full appellate review. I am of the opinion that the procedures outlined in State v. Winsett, 882 S.W.2d 806 (Tenn. Crim. App. 1993) have been followed.

|Court of Appeals
Linda Ann Carlton, v. James Thomas Carlton
Authoring Judge: Senior Judge Tomlin
Trial Court Judge: Judge George R. Ellis
This current litigation is what we shall call economic fallout from an earlier domestic relations case. Linda Ann Carlton ("plaintiff") filed suit for divorce in 1990 from James Thomas Carlton ("defendant") in the Chancery Court of Haywood County. In October 1991, the chancellor granted plaintiff a divorce from defendant on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment, awarded joint custody of the parties' 28 year-old handicapped daughter, Donna, with the principal place of residence with plaintiff, divided the parties' marital property, and awarded rehabilitative alimony and attorney's fees to plaintiff. Defendant appealed to this court. The primary issues presented on appeal related to the custody of the parties' daughter, the division of marital property, and the award of rehabilitative alimony and attorney's fees to plaintiff. The record reflects that the marital property was valued in excess of two million dollars ($2,000,000), with defendant and plaintiff receiving slightly over one million dollars ($1,000,000) each as a result of the chancellor's decree.

James E. Simons, and wife Margaret B. Simons, v. Herbert H. Replogle, Jr.
Authoring Judge: Senior Judge Hewitt P. Tomlin
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Joe C. Morris
James E. Simons and Margaret B. Simons ("plaintiffs") filed suit in the Chancery Court of Madison County against Herbert H. Replogle, Jr. ("defendant") for the purpose of establishing a common boundary line between the parties. Following a bench trial the chancellor established the parties' common boundary line based on the calls in defendant's deed. On appeal plaintiffs have presented one issue for our review: whether the evidence preponderates against the chancellor's finding. In our opinion, the chancellor did err and we accordingly reverse.

Authoring Judge: Presiding Judge Houston M. Goddard
Trial Court Judge: Judge John K. Wilson
While I concede tha the majority opinion is technically correct and the reasoning employed comports with previous case law, I observe that this Court, or at least this member of this Court, has routinely overruled such motions when the only defect as to the serviceof thenotice of appeal is failure to file a copy with the Clerk of this Court.

Robert Dale Cobb, v. Douglas R. Beier

The appellant, Daniel G.

The trial court sentenced the appellant to eleven months and twenty-nine days in the Carter County Jail with all but seventy days suspended for the driving under the influence, second offense; six months suspended in the Carter County Jail for driving on a revoked license on April 9, 1994 which was ordered to run concurrently with the other sentences; and six months in the Carter County Jail with all but twenty days suspended for driving on a revoked license on April 1, 1994 which was ordered to run consecutively to the driving under the influence, second offense conviction.

Daniel B. Taylor v. State of Tenneessee - Concurring
Authoring Judge: Judge Hewitt P. Tomlin, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Judge Martha Brasfield
Daniel P. Taylor ("claimant") filed this suit against the State of Tennessee (?defendant" or "State") in the Tennessee Claims Commission for damages he allegedly sustained due to the malpractice of his court- appointed attorney. The Claims Commission granted defendant's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether the commissioner erred in so doing. We find no error and affirm.

Comprehensive Engineering Assistance Association, Inc., v. State of Tennessee, Department of Labor and Al Bodie, Commissioner of the Department of Labor, in his official capacity
Authoring Judge: Presiding Judge Henry F. Todd
Trial Court Judge: Christina Norris Pro Tempore
The captioned plaintiff has appealed from an order of the Trial Court reading as follows: This matter came to be heard on June 2, 1995, upon the motion to dismiss filed on behalf of the defendants, Tennessee Department of Labor and Al Bodie, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Labor. Upon consideration of the pleadings filed and the argument of counsel, the Court finds that this matter should be dismissed on the basis that the Court lacks jurisdiction as the petition for judicial review was not filed within sixty days of the final agency action as required by T.C.A. §4-5-322. Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that the defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED. Costs shall be taxed to the petitioner. On appeal, plaintiff presents a single issue as follows: Did the Chancery Court err in dismissing this matter for lack of jurisdiction on the basis that the complaint was not timely filed?

Patricia Gobel v. Estate of Rupert Newman, Deceased

James R. Tully, Jr., v. USA Wireless, Inc., PMT Investments, Inc., and Patrick M. Thompson, in both his individual and corporate capacity
Authoring Judge: Judge Ben H. Cantrell
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Irvin H. Kilcrease, Jr.
The issues in this appeal are (1) whether the chancellor erred in granting a judgment against a corporation for back wages, (2) whether the chancellor should have pierced the corporate veil and granted a judgment against the corporation's principal shareholder and (3) whether the court erred in dismissing the fraud claims against the principal shareholder. We affirm the chancellor's decision in part and reverse on the fraud claims made directly against the principal shareholder.

VALDOSTA, Ga. - Valdosta State Softball was delayed for the second time in as many days, and, ultimately, was cancelled for game 2. It will be rescheduled at a later date. Continue to check www.vstateblazers.com for updates.
North Alabama and the Blazers were able to play one game before the weather hit, with VSU earning a 1-0 victory.
Natalia Morozova (Moscow, Russia) was the star for VSU. She went a perfect three for three at the plate and tallied eight putouts. She blasted two grounders up the middle and one into the first base/second base gap. She also caught a low liner to strand two UNA runners and end the sixth inning.
While Morozova may have been the star, Ashley Steinhilber (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) was the hero. She utilized her quick reflexes to score from third base on a passed ball by North Alabama catcher Kathryn Young. Steinhilber finished two for three with a run.
Steinhilber hit a single down the right line and moved to second on a passed ball. Sarah Vaughn (Watkinsville, Ga.) used a sacrifice bunt to move Steinhilber to third. Steinhilber scored the only run VSU needed to win with the passed ball moments later.
Meanwhile, Holly Satterfield (Hixson, Tenn.) put together a strong game from the pitcher's circle. In seven innings she only allowed two hits and walked one. She struck out seven and allowed no runs.
Marti Littlefield (Nashville, Ga.) was the only other Blazer to register a hit in addition to Steinhilber and Morozova. Littlefield was one for two with a walk.

> Latest version of windows come up with a batch rename feature, using this feature one can select multiple files, right click on one and rename them all after selecting rename. This batch rename feature has been found to be working out for basic files but it doesnt provide flexibility and doesnt change file extensions. Windows PowerShell has been included in Windows XP, windows 2008 Server and windows vista. PowerShell is a raw tool for carrying out batch file renames. Dir and rename-item are two PowerShell commands required for batch file renames, dir is an alias for get-childitem.
For carrying out this task you can copy all files you might be willing to rename in different directory and open Windows PowerShell. After that you can navigate to the directory using CD command. There are different techniques for renaming the files and you can use the one accordingly.
For changing File Extension of all .jpeg files to .jpg you can use below command:
Dir *.jpeg | rename-item -newname { $_.name -replace ".jpeg",".jpg" }
In above command $_ represents items which are passed to rename-item command via pipe | from dir command.
For appending a File Extension:
Dir | rename-item -newname { $_.Name +".jpg" }
For renaming with Customizable Increasing Number:
Dir *.jpg | ForEach-Object -begin { $count=1 } -process { rename-item $_ -NewName "image$count.jpg"; $count++ }
In above command one can use additional command which is known as foreach-object for setting a variable before looping files in directory and carrying out the action for each item. Result of this command will be image1.jpg, image2.jpg and so on.

"Carbohydrates are the number one source of energy, you can kinda call oatmeal a grain for your brain," said Kohls.
Oatmeal is also high in fiber.
"So if you send your kids off to school vs. a pop tart it's going to be a benefit because they're not going to get hungry in 2 hours," says Kohls.
Next, find foods rich in antioxidants.
"A study found out of more than 40 different fruits and vegetables, blueberries have the most antioxidant ability, Its going to help the kids with energy. But in the long run, it's going to prolong the cells can cell life and keep the body healthier," said Kohls.
If your child is not a fruit or veggie fan, make it into a smoothie.
Dietitian Krista Kohls showed us you can make a blueberry smoothie by adding honey and milk.
"Its nice, that you can send them off with it or have a nice snack," said Kohls.
Finally, find foods high in omega-3 fatty acids.
"Omega-3 fatty acids are for example in salmon. You could take canned salmon and do what you do with tuna, and make salads," said Kohls.
Another way to give your little one omega-3's is by giving them mixed nuts as a snack.
"Basically these good fats are going to help keep your kids going throughout the day and help brain development," said Kohls.
She also added if you simply don't have the time to plan your kids meal each day.
Simply skipping sugary soda and drinking a bottle of water makes a huge difference to their growing bodies.
She says staying well hydrated prevents fatigue and can keep your child's concentration strong.

WS6-Style Hood Install - Snarling Scoops For The StreetWritten by on June 1, 2008 Contributors: Couresty Of John Dempsey Enhancing The Appearance Of An '01 Trans Am With An Aftermarket VFN WS6-Style Hood
The expression "hitting the nail on the head" comes to mind when discussing the '98-'02 WS6 Trans Am. You'd be hard-pressed to find a tougher, meaner looking car on the road-or at least one that's affordable on a sensible income.
Since the T/A's arrival, the aftermarket has been flooded with replica WS6-style hoods of varying quality. GM offers its factory replacement hoods for a small fortune, so many fiberglass hood manufacturers have found success with their more affordable products. While researching hood possibilities for this T/A, VFN Fiberglass, in Addison, Illinois, came up. We found many testimonials speaking highly of its products and customer service, so we gave the company a call and ultimately sourced one of its widely popular WS6-style hoods for '98-'02 Firebirds.
Once the hood arrived, John Dempsey, owner of J.D.'s Paint & Body, in Mulberry, Florida, instructed us to test-fit it to the car. This saved us a lot of headaches before we got to the body shop since we were able to assess the problem areas. Armando Kent at VFN also informed us that the hinges might need some modification to help align the hood and allow it to sit correctly. After this was done, we had J.D. examine it and provide an estimate on labor and materials for prep and paint.
It was during this time that we ran into an issue with the factory hood struts. Since the new hood is considerably lighter, the struts were too stiff. As a result, the slight flexing when we attempted to close the hood scared us into seeking out alternative struts, but we only found dead ends. Therefore, we opted to modify the factory struts and install a strut prop rather than have expensive custom struts made. We used a Thexton Universal Hood/Tailgate prop, available through Snap-on Tools (PN 430). After addressing this problem, we looked at the hood's cosmetic attributes.
The terms "bolt-on" and "fiberglass" usually have very little business being in the same sentence. Fiberglass hoods, as a rule, require a certain amount of prep work to make them fit correctly. Our hood needed some work along the driver side that was easy to address with a thin layer of filler. Some hoods need more attention than others, but the same procedures are followed on any hood to ensure a proper fit. Thankfully, this install went well, as you can see in the following photos and captions.
A Word On Paint Blending
It's a fact that some colors fade faster than others. Even if the new paint is mixed perfectly, once the freshly painted body part is on the car and next to the surrounding factory painted parts, the color may not match. Not all is lost, though. If your paint isn't too far gone, you have the option of blending the paint into the fenders, headlight, doors and nose. John has blended many body panels in his 30 years of body work experience. He highly suggests this procedure be done by a professional painter, since every color is different.
You start out by either wet-sanding part of the surrounding fenders or body parts with 1,000-grit sandpaper or use Scuff-It. John creates a mixture of clear and basecoat paint. This new liquid is translucent, but holds the new, nonfaded color inside. He tapes off the surrounding fenders until the last coat is sprayed on the hood, removes the tape, and mists over the hood and fenders with the mixture. He finishes up with a final application of clearcoat over the entire area. The result is a subtle and gradual blend that's hard to notice and doesn't make the new hood stand out like a sore thumb.

Though the factory Trans Am hood is smooth and clean, we wanted to wake it up with something more aggressive and intimidating.The VFN WS6-style hood closely resembles the OEM WS6 hood. There are small differences between the two, namely the way the raised edges of the scoops taper off into the hood surface, but it retains the menacing look.VFN and John Dempsey, of J.D.'s Paint & Body, suggested that we test-fit the hood to the T/A before we sent it off for paint. We began removing the stock hood at the safety release and striker. This also saved us the frustration of having to pop the hood again if it closed. The striker is held down by 13mm bolts and the hood release is secured with 10mm bolts.Upon removing the hood striker, we ground this small alignment tab down, as shown. The factory steel hood has a hole to fit this tab, but the VFN hood doesn't have provisions for it. The other choice is to simply drill the needed hole for a stock appearance.After we installed a temporary prop to support the hood's weight, we unbolted the struts on both sides. They're held down by two 10mm bolts and can be reused on the new fiberglass hood. VFN strongly suggests that you modify the struts to have less tension, as this can lead to hood damage. We decided to release the pressure from the struts by drilling a small hole in the side of each one.The hinges are held in place with 13mm nuts and bolts, on which we used two wrenches. Then we took the hood off and set it aside.Next, we completely lowered the adjustable stoppers. When the new hood is installed, we can raise them until the hood sits flush with the tops of the fenders.Just like the hood striker, the hinges have alignment tabs. These are made from soft metal and we easily folded them over as shown. (There is also a chance you may need to modify the holes to allow for more adjustment.) Once done, they can be installed on the new hood.We installed the new hood without either of the struts or the striker and safety release. Next is the trickiest part of the project; it requires extensive trial and error to align the hood properly. Both sides of the hood should have a consistent gap to each fender. However, it must also line up correctly with the nose and headlight doors.
Happily, the VFN hood is a quality piece that fit correctly. Even when we cycled the headlight doors, there was no interference.The VFN hood came with new 11mm bolts to be used for the struts since the factory bolts won't fit. Once we aligned the hood, we reattached the struts.The hood also came with new bolts for the striker and safety release. The 13mm size is retained for the striker, but the release is now an 11mm bolt like the struts.Satisfied with the test-fitting and the resulting alignment and gaps at the nose, headlight doors and fenders, the next step was bodywork and paint.Once the Trans Am arrived at J.D.'s Paint & Body, technicians removed the hood and all of its associated hardware from the T/A and sanded down the black gel coating with 3M 180-grit sandpaper to accept the R-M 800K primer. Our hood needed some minor filler work and sanding to smooth it on the driver side, then the hood was cleaned off with 3M Wax and Grease remover and sprayed with primerOnce the two coats of primer were dry, a tech block-sanded the hood with 3M 320-grit sandpaper to ensure a smooth surface prior to paintingJ.D. painted the bottom of the hood with the factory color matching BASF RM Diamont paint. Our Light Pewter Metallic Trans Am received paint code 382E. You can also see that the hood has an opening for the front of the intake airbox, making it a functional Ram Air. A total of three basecoats were applied to both the underside and top of the hood. There was no wet-sanding performed on the hood after the basecoatJ.D. applied three coats of RM Diamont clear to the top of the hood and treated it to 2,000-grit wet-sanding. The bottom was left the way it was, giving it a consistent look with the engine bay.Once we bolted the freshly painted hood on the T/A, we installed the supplied nostril grilles and stood back. After following the proper steps, we were able to get this cost-effective Ram Air hood alternative to fit like a factory piece, and give our Trans Am killer looks. If you desire to make this hood fully functional, you'll need to install the WS6 lower airbox. This will raise the air lid approximately 1 inch and allow cold air to come through the nostrils.

2182 Tasting Notes
As I alluded to before, now that I'm done with my sip-through of my cupboard I feel paralyzed with indecision over what tea to drink. My tea drinking was so prescribed for 4 months, and now I have to make a choice?!?!?
Last year at this point I decided to work on a few sipdowns, which is what I shall do again. This is not a sipdown but the penultimate cup of this tea. I almost didn't drink it but then it smelled really yummy so I couldn't resist. I accidentally forgot to take the brew basket out after my timer went off, so it was probably in for another minute or so. Fortunately, it does not seemed harmed by the experience. Not bitter or astringent, but there is definitely more cinnamon in this cup than there was in the first. Still, a very tasty cup and still very mapley.
This was mistakenly attributed to the Ali Shan when instead it was apparently this tea instead. So this is a reposted note!
This was our final gongfu of the afternoon. There was almost too few leaves for this one, so my steeping was fairly wonky. This one was pretty much exactly as I might of expected. The steeps were all variations on the same theme: floral and sugar snap peas, with perhaps a hint of butter. Some were more floral, some were more vegetal, but they were all pretty similar. I kind of drank this one without really thinking about it. It was a perfectly fine tea, but not overly memorable for me.
ETA: Oh, I almost forgot! There was one steep near the end that was really nutty, almost like some chinese green teas. That was an interesting steep, I haven't gotten a ton of nuttiness from high mountain oolongs before.
This was my other free sample from Mandala, and it is also officially the last tea in my cupboard (#–7)!! Of course, I skipped a few teas here and there for different reasons, but I have once again sipped-through my entire cupboard. And it took me 3 less weeks than last year! Once again it was really fun, and reminded me of all the teas I have forgotten. But I never know exactly what to drink after I'm done with this.
Anyway, I thought about saving this tea to have at a gongfu session, but then I just decided to drink it. Sorry Equusfell. :) I had a little more than I would normally use for my 12 oz cup, so I steeped it a little shorter to compensate.
I had a sample of this tea something like two years ago, and reading my note I can say that I found it much the same as I did back then. It smells really sweet and floral, with a bit of butteriness, like a really good TGY. But the flavor is more vegetal and less floral, with some butter but not much cream. A tiny hint of sweetness comes out as it cools, but it is still predominantly vegetal, a little like snap peas but not quite. Overall a pretty tasty tea, but when I drink it I just kind of wish I was drinking a TGY instead.
A free sample from Mandala in my last order. I contemplated several of their black teas, but didn't purchase any of them so it was nice to get this one (#–6) as a sample.
No steeping instructions on the website, so I went with a somewhat conservative wiry-Chinese-black-tea western steeping method. I should note that I was somewhat concerned my water filter wasn't working properly since yesterday the two highly-rated Mandala teas I drank were lackluster. But I changed that filter recently, so I didn't think that could be it. This tea convinces me that it was not.
It smells amazing brewed; a bit of grains, molasses, perhaps some notes of caramel and chocolate. The taste is lovely; sweet, with most of the notes from the scent. There is also a bit of raisin. It really reminds me of some of the Fujian black teas I've had, although I know it's not from Fujian. It does also have a little bit of sweet potato, like a tippy Yunnan, but it's not a strong component. The liquor has nice body and is oh so smooth. All in all quite a delicious black tea, and I'm really happy to have gotten a sample of it.
Equusfell tried to foist this sample onto me after she disastrously steeped it grandpa-style (i.e., leave it in the cup forever, no rinse) quite a while ago when she was just starting to get into tea. I was going to just drink it, and then I decided it would be perfect to use in one of our gongfu sessions to really introduce her to what puerh is all about. I'm not the biggest puerh fan, but I appreciate its subtleties and understand it as a tea, and I was really happy that the session turned out very well.
I think I probably should have done two rinses instead of one, since the first steep was still a little overbearing. It's been a while since I've had a puerh, and I admit I enjoyed "walking in the woods" once again. My first thought was, tastes like a sheng. The earliest steeps had some woody notes and autumn leaves. Then suddenly some really juicy apricot with hints of vanilla came to the forefront. As steeps progressed, it became more minerally and more smokey, with hints of leather.
Overall a fun tea to have a session with, and I think it was a good introduction to the wild and crazy world of sheng.
Quick note about my gongfu experiences with this one. Equusfell and I shared it yesterday in a nice little session. I feel that I enjoyed it a little more gongfu-style, but it still fell a little flat. Not enough rose, and the base tea just didn't seem to work very well with it. Still no creaminess or floral notes (other than the added rose). Not sure why this one didn't turn out for me (when the base definitely worked with some others), but so it goes.
Aww, I thought this would be the last or second-to-last tea in my cupboard, but then I realized I had never added a couple of free samples that Mandala sent me with the order. (Side note: this tea has more "flavors" listed at the top than I have ever seen!)
Anyway, I finally get to try Mandala's much-vaunted milk oolong (#–5). For a while it was never in stock, and then I never got around to ordering it. But I finally did order it, and now I am finally trying it. The dry leaf certainly smells like what I am looking for: sweet, buttery, and a slight tang of fruitiness. Steeped, the "tang" goes mostly away, and yes, it very much smells like buttered popcorn. Perhaps kettle corn, with a hint of sweetness. I think that part of what is evoking that is a note of toastiness, particularly toasted grains.
The flavor is lighter than I expected, at least while it is very warm. Perhaps I should allow it to cool some. Hmmm, mayhaps I need to gongfu this one. It's just not wowing me right now. When it was still hot it was not very flavorful. Now that it is lukewarm it has at least gained some creaminess and a bit of peachiness. It tastes more like what I was expecting, minus the sweetness (suprisingly). Maybe a hint. Definitely I think I need to futz with the parameters.
I still need to do some notes for the gongfu sessions I had with Equusfell yesterday, but for now I will continue with the cupboard sip-through because I am almost done!! This tea (#–4) represents the Mandala order for smart soak that also included some tea. I had read good things about it, so I threw a small pouch of these cones in the order.
I think I will need to play around with steep parameters for this one. This time, I used 4 cones for 12 oz of water, steeped for 3 min at 205°F, which is close to the given parameters. Actually I steeped it for three minutes, sipped it, and then decided it was too weak so I put the cones back in for a bit. It came out decent, but not as good as I was hoping. I think my downfall was putting it back in. Or maybe I need fewer cones for longer. I dunno, but the main flavors were general earthiness and maybe some dark chocolate, but not very predominantly. It reminds me a good amount of Black Dragon Pearls. I think it needs to be a little lighter for my tastes, and hopefully some sweetness will come out. Fortunately I have enough cones to play around with them a bit.
I had a much better experience, both gongfu and western, with this tea (#–3) than with the rose oolong. It's been a long time since I had a magnolia oolong, so it's hard for me to compare, but I did really enjoy this one. After using it in our gongfu session last weekend, I had a little over my normal quantity of leaf, but what was I going to do with half a teaspoon? So I used all of it but lowered my steep time to compensate.
I think perhaps the magnolia works better with the base? Here I get the creaminess from the Jin Xuan that I was missing in the rose oolong. The florals are thick and rich, but in no way overwhelming or perfumy. Just that they have body and substance. Magnolia can be slightly jasmine-y in flavor, I find, and I get hints of it here. A little fruitiness. Overall a very nice oolong.
Finally getting around to more of my Tea Ave samples. By now I've tried 2 of 3 (plus a bonus), and this one (#–2) is the last one to try. Funny, since by rights it should have been the first one I grabbed given that I love rose. I'm brewing this one western style using my typical green oolong method. I will take the rest home to gongfu, perhaps this weekend.
Some people may appreciate that this tea has light rose notes. They are definitely present, but playing around the edges. I myself prefer a much stronger rose flavor, since rose is one of my favorites. I could forgive that, however, if the base was anything to write home about. I find it a little meh. Vegetal, a little buttery, but lacking the creaminess I would expect from a Jin Xuan. I will say that I get a little bored by Taiwanese high mountain oolongs, although I have them as the base of a few other scented teas and enjoy them well enough. Even in Tea Ave's own Ginger Lily, it worked better. I think this one is just so dominant in the flavor, and one-note (vegetal). Maybe it will be more nuanced in gongfu. That said, I drank it easily enough.
The thing that sets me off the most about this is the price. Right now, the sale price is more than double what I would pay for a rose green oolong from Dammann or Taiwan Tea Crafts. Now, I am not one to cast judgement at spending a lot on one tea, as I have done my damage with some reserve teas in the past, but their prices seem a tad excessive to me for the product. I am grateful that they sent me the samples to review (as well as the aroma cup set and such), but I will be perfectly honest in my review: I expect mind-blowing for that price, and this is decidedly not.

A cane in his hand, the man approached the front of the conference room. Behind him, a picture of a demolished truck appeared on an overhead screen.
A dark-haired woman handed him a microphone as he faced the audience of 100 people.
"My name is Doug Miner," he said. "And I'm an alcoholic."
Miner explained how the photo of his truck was taken after he drove drunk in 1997 and crashed into a wall in Portland. He wasn't supposed to live. Today, the victim of a traumatic brain injury has short-term memory problems and has had to teach himself basic motor skills.
"Everything I do, the doctors said I couldn't do," the 43-year-old Vancouver man said. "I had to grow up all over again."
Miner shared his story to show the terrible potential effects of drinking and driving. His audience mostly consisted of DUI defendants who had been court-ordered to attend Clark County's victim impact panel class.
The DUI victim impact panel program, which reaches approximately 2,400 people a year, isn't new; it's been offered in Clark County for 20 years. Still, it comes with added importance now, proponents say, because of stiffer penalties for DUI drivers who kill.
Last month, Gov. Chris Gregoire signed into law a bill that raises the stakes for those convicted of DUI vehicular homicide to the same punishment as first-degree manslaughter. The sentence for a first-time offender used to be 31 to 41 months in prison. Now, offenders face 6- to 8-year terms.
The old penalties were "ridiculous," said Darvin Zimmerman, a Clark County District Court judge who spoke at an April 16 victim impact panel class.
In 1981, for instance, the sentencing range was only 15 to 20 months.
"The Legislature has changed that as the years have gone on," he said.
The judge said that in Oregon, an impaired driver who causes a crash that kills multiple people can face substantially more time for each subsequent death. That's not the case in Washington. He noted the case of Fivea Sharipoff, a Salem woman sentenced to 16 years in prison for killing two women, including a Vancouver resident, on Interstate 5 in 2007. Had the crash occurred in Washington, she would have faced about 3 years in prison under previous sentencing guidelines.
Before her arrest, Sharipoff had been court-ordered to attend Clark County's victim impact panel class, Zimmerman said.
"You don't want to be the cause of such an awful memory," the judge said.
A living memory
Miner and another victim of a DUI crash, Sheryl Morales, still live their awful memories.
Unlike Miner, Morales was not drinking and driving. She was driving north of Battle Ground 33 years ago when an intoxicated teenager — driving 88 mph — ran a stop sign.
Morales had to be extricated by emergency personnel.
Speaking to the victim impact panel class, Morales said she has no recollection of the crash and details of stories from other people. She said that like Miner, she suffered a severe head injury and had to relearn simple tasks.
"I had to be taught to talk, to walk and to remember the alphabet," she said. "The little things that you take for granted didn't exist for me."
The driver responsible was not convicted of DUI, Morales said, but of failing to yield the right of way.
"The girl was not affected," she said.
The perception of drinking and driving has changed over the past few decades since Morales' crash. And those who attend the DUI victim impact panel class appear more contrite, Zimmerman said.
"I would say that people are more aware that it's not as acceptable to get a DUI as it might have been in past years," the judge said by email.
Still, the judge said of the ongoing reform of Washington's laws: "We're not quite there."

Rain-soaked soil left unstable ground under many of the region's mature trees.
"I grew up across the street," says Patricia Goodman, an heir to Arlington's Fraber House. "That's my grandparents' house."
When a 12,000 pound tree slammed into Goodman's family home, she could muster only a few words.
There was no way to predict a white oak would smash into the 100-year-old house, punching four holes in the roof and shattering a window. The home is now owned by Arlington County and Goodman says it was just days from earning historic designation, a way to preserve it for decades.
"I'm afraid that if the damage is sufficient it will be too expensive to repair and it will be torn down," Goodman says.
Officials believe Monday's heavy rains turned the soil underneath the tree to mud, leaving unstable ground among the roots.
"The tree uprooted, even though other trees around it are doing fine for whatever reason," says Jamie Bartalon, the landscape and forestry supervisor for the Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation.
That unpredictability makes this year's severe storms more dangerous. Even if there's little wind, experts can't see the soil shifting underground.
"There's really no way to know for sure," says Bartalon. "The best thing to do is to take preventative action."
More storms are expected to roll in Wednesday night. Rain will soak the region Thursday, making trees swaying in the sunshine look more like omens of more damage to come.
A devastated Goodman says she's overwhelmed.
"I'm feeling sorrow," she says. "Ready to cry."

May 30, 2016
In part because of the struggle to make it a holiday at all, MLK day is an opportunity for the African American community to talk about what's left undone in King's legacy.
It means focusing on issues like voting, housing, and apathy.
Experts say it's a chance for conversation to re-focus on a struggle that is the same, but still very, very different.
See http://www.msu.edu/unit/aacm/mlk/index.html for links on MSU's MLK Day events.

Vt looking for bus line bids
RUTLAND The state is putting out a request for proposals from bus lines interested in using a federal subsidy to connect Rutland to Albany, N.Y., Burlington and White River Junction.
Barbara Donovan, public transit administrator for the Vermont Agency of Transportation, said the state has about $400,000 a year from the federal government to help with the bus lines.
Last year we did a very thorough study of intercity bus needs and desired locations, Donovan said. We dont know exactly how it will look. Intercity service has changed dramatically since the last time it was offered in Rutland. People are looking for more express-type services. ... It may be a little more streamlined.
Donovan said she anticipated the service would be based out of the Marble Valley Regional Transit Center. It could stop at the train station and airport.
Donovan says the state is planning a conference with would-be bidders Aug. 12. Bids are due later next month.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Former gubernatorial candidate Dan Feliciano plans to run for state auditor as a...

Reyita Jaqueline
Update on Reyita JaquelineThe communal bank Guerra de Los Sexos ("War of the Sexes") meets every fifteen days in the Picoaza parish in the city of Portoviejo. This place is known for being a very commercial area, for its traditional celebrations of San Pedro and San Pablo, and for the rich historical culture that is enclosed between its mountains.
Here lives Reyita, 42, who is married and has four children from this relationship, three older and the youngest is 13 and studying in school and still lives with her. Her husband is a merchant.
Rayita, like her husband, makes a living selling all types of clothing. Three to four days a week, they go to the nearby fields where they have a very good client base that always buys from them since they make payment easy, granting things on credit and charging by the week.
She has accompanied her husband in his sales for four years, even though he has already spent many more years devoted to sales. With this work they have moved their family forward in an honest way.
She is repeating her loan request since with the former loan she made improvements to the business. With her earnings she was able to pay for expenses related to her son's studies and buy certain medicines since she was mildly ill. This loan, as the former loan, is to buy all types of clothing such as pants, shirts, blouses and children's clothing.
She has been in the communal bank from the beginning and she likes it for the help that the loans offer her. Her dream is to buy a car to be able to travel to more places selling her apparel.
En este lugar vive la señora Reyita, tiene 42 años de edad, está casada y de esta relación tienen cuatro hijos, tres mayores de edad y el menor tiene 13 años que estudia en colegio y es el que aun vive con ella. Su esposo es comerciante.
Doña Rayita al igual que su esposo se dedican a la venta ropa de todo tipo, ellos de tres a cuatros días por semana se desplazan a los campos cercanos donde tienen muy buena clientela que siempre les compran ya que les dan facilidades de pagos, dejan a crédito y cobran por semana, ella lleva cuatro años acompañando a su marido en sus ventas aunque el ya tiene muchos años mas dedicado al comercio, trabajo con el cual sacan adelante a su familia de una forma honrada.
Ella está repitiendo el crédito ya que con el crédito anterior ella pudo mejorara el negocio, con sus ganancias pudo pagar gastos relacionado con los estudios de su hijo y comprar ciertas medicinas ya que estuvo un poco enferma. Este crédito al igual que el anterior es para comprar ropa de todo tipo como pantalones, blusas, camisetas y ropa de niños. Esta desde el inicio en el Banco Comunal y le gusta por la ayuda que le brindan los créditos.
Su sueño es comprar un carro para trasladarse a más lugares a vender sus prenda

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
