GoooodI have to say, when I first came across this product, my the woman who did my hair loved this stuff... However, I didnt really know how to use it, and actually disliked it for a while. Now I just want to say, its grown on me quite a bit and gives me the seperation, texture, and UNDESTROYABLE hold. I go to school at Rowan University, and I swear its the windiest place in NJ. Other hair products cannot withstand the wind without really getting messed up. This product gives, but because it does not harden at all, it just rebounds to the same position, without looking all dry and messy. It is also really easy to restyle without adding more simply by wetting your fingers a bit and running it through your hair. The only downside is, it does stay rather sticky. A friend of mine ran her fingers through it for some reason, and was like ewww, its sticky. But hey, that doesnt bother me. I love this stuff. It lasts a long time as well.Feb 15, 2007Erik Strouse / Glassboro NJ

Great seats ! Great price! Beautiful venue. Incredible experience.
Only complaint is it was really hot in there
The film may be too intense for very young children.

On April 2, 2005, Pope John Paul II was called from this world to the next.
John Paul II was the Pope of Life. He provided the Church and the world with profound reflections about the origins of human life in the loving mystery of the unity of man and woman. He wrote about love and responsibility, and he called the Church to understand that God's choice comes before our choices.
He provided the pro-life movement with the encyclical Evangelium Vitae, the Gospel of Life. In it, he declared that the attack on children in the womb is an attack on God Himself, and that when the state no longer protects these children, the disintegration of the state itself has begun.
May the example and teaching of John Paul II hasten the Culture of Life.

They may have been married since 1996, but Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis didn't know if another partnership – a musical one – was going to work until a little detail got worked out.
"I think whenever that moment happened where Bruce decided that I could do the set list, I knew this could work," laughed Willis, and Robison wasn't about to disagree.
"Yeah, it's true," he said. "We had to figure out some separation of labor."
The funny thing is that this was a serious deal, and despite having successful careers apart from each other and a good family life together, recording and performing as a duo brought on several feelings of trepidation.
"We were both nervous about testing our relationship by working together," said Willis. "I think it's hard enough to maintain a relationship without throwing in that extra element of also working with someone. (Laughs) So that's what we've always been nervous about. After we get off the road from some little tour we don't have our significant other to complain about our co-worker with. It's still just us. And that's the only thing I think we were afraid of, that whole balance of power, and that whole problem solving. Those things can really be pushed to their limit in everyday life."
True, but after the set list thing got worked out and the two hit the studio with producer Brad Jones, not just as occasional collaborators like they had over the years, but as a full-on duo, it was magic – for them and for us.
"After the first sessions that we did, it was a great feeling to find a producer who really is someone who is a real partner," said Robison. "When you have somebody like that, it really gives you a lot of confidence. You don't feel like the weight's on your shoulders. It's similar to when I go to a gig with Kelly and just having the weight not all be on your shoulders. It's not cut in half; it's like it goes away completely. There's somebody else up there and you can just have fun."
2013 saw the release of the well-received Cheater's Game , but with their second album, last month's Our Year, Willis and Robison hit it out of the park. A warm-soun ding collection that addresses real life in a way only those who have truly lived it can, the country veterans have a chemistry that only comes from playing, touring, and living together. In the process, they make this work in a way that draws positive comparisons to the interplay between another husband / wife pairing – Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent of Shovels & Rope.
"I think maybe it's because we were together for so long before we ever attempted to make a fully-fledged project together," said Willis. "We would sing together and I would do harmonies on some of his recordings, and then I would record some of his songs, and so I think maybe we really just understood each other musically before we went in to record this duet project.
"We had many little opportunities to work together where we kind of worked out the kinks and we really appreciated and understood each other," she continues. "I've always really loved his songs, I loved singing them, and I've been hearing him sing for so long and played at his shows and his records and had been a fan. At this point, I know how he's going to sing. If it's a new song, I can watch him and understand just from his visual clues when he's going to cut the note short. I just understand him and I think it's the same way the other way around."
On Our Year, the mix of original songs and covers is perfect for their voices and for times that aren't always sunny. It's a homage to the artists Robison grew up on, hard living straight shooters like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
"That music created a lot of my taste that I still go back to," he said. "I know as a fan, those are the kind of songwriters and that's the kind of music I gravitated toward in my past and those are the type of songs that really resonate for me, whether they're the ones that I've written or the ones that we've found to sing from the great writers that are on here. That's what I tend to like singing about."
There is a light at the end of the tunnel though, particularly in their cover of the Zombies' "This Will Be Our Year."
"It's great to have a song that's light sometimes and honestly, that's why we found that song 'This Will Be Our Year,' and we ended up calling the record Our Year because with the songs that we write and I write, it gets so heavy sometimes," he said. "So it was really fun to have a song that had a little more hope and lightness to its outlook, and then also be able to call the record that. And that's what I love about country music. Even though sometimes the songs are real heavy, they can make you feel better."
Our Year will make you feel better, and seeing Willis and Robison at Joe's Pub in NYC on Sunday night will also do the trick. And not to be all doom and gloomy, but with four kids at home, this may be the last time we see them out here together for a while. So enjoy this time. They sure are.
"Making music together has always been nothing but fun and we've always enjoyed doing that," said Willis. "And being out on the road and performing together is more fun than I've ever had playing solo just because we're sharing the load on stage. We've got this person who's our perfect foil, almost; a person to lean on and joke with, we know each other's strengths and we make sure that they get highlighted. It's just fun and that's all good for us."
Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis play Joe's Pub in New York City on Sunday, June 8. For tickets, click here

Backing up your hard drive's information is no longer a task exclusively for businesses and tech geeks. Everyday people are relying on digital files, and failing to backup those files can be devastating if you have any hard drive issues. There are many backup programs and providers, but one of the best is Carbonite. If you want to know why Carbonite is the best and why backups are so essential, then read on to find out.

Carbonite Main Benefits
-It's easy to store and backup your files. If you have never backed up your information, then you might think that it's very difficult. Some providers only have advanced solutions that experienced computer administrators can use. Carbonite understands that most people don't need an advanced solution. This program works in the background while you are using on the computer. It will store your files without forcing you to do any work.
-Carbonite can be used on several computers. Carbonite offers several different packages based on the number of computers you use. It doesn't matter if you are a home user or if you own a business. You can easily find a package that suits your needs.
Why Backups are Essential
If you made a backup file a year ago, then you will only restore a portion of the hard drive. You need to save an external copy of the backup file everyday to have the most current version of your hard drive. This is way too much hassle for most people, and it wastes a lot of resources.
Not only that, but backup programs aren't always reliable. Some of the cheaper ones have a hard time restoring your hard drive because the backup file corrupts. If your house or business goes through a natural disaster, then the external copy might be destroyed.
Online backups avoid all of these problems. You don't need to manually save an external copy because the external copy is saved on Carbonite's servers. The backups are very reliable, and there have been no complaints of corrupted files. It also doesn't matter if your house or business goes through a natural disaster. The Carbonite servers are somewhere else. This means that they won't be affected by any fires, floods, hurricanes or anything else that is occurring around you.

Why are optimization problems often called programs?
It may be that this question had been answered here before, but I couldn't find the answer.
Anyway, the answer is given by the person who coined the name itself: George Dantzig wrote in "LINEAR PROGRAMMING":
From the wikipedia page on mathematical optimization:
When the term "linear programming" first came into use, computers were still very rare beasts, and the term "computer programming" wasn't that widely used. Here "programming" meant planning. As researchers started to work on other optimization problems, the "programming" term continued to be used and we ended up with "nonlinear programming", "integer programming", etc.
Solving an optimization problem is not programming in any sense. However, the results of the optimization are then used as key factors in the making of decision related to resources or strategy. And that is the "programming" part.
So this is a case of metonymy: naming something after something else which has an associated meaning.
Although linear programming does precede computer programming, the term program as a "list of things to be done" precedes linear programming!
For instance, a symphony orchestra's formal concert performance has a program. This is very much like a computer program. First we play this, then we play that, then there is an intermission, and so forth. A copy of the program is usually available to members of the audience.
The word program is made up of "pro" (beforehand) and "gram" (write): literally writing something down before doing it with the intent of closely sticking with what is written.
Once we have solved the optimization problem, then we chart a "program" for our organization to take specific steps with specific resources.

Music Reviews
For Families In Crisis, A Songwriter Offers Humor And Empathy
I don't know what I'd do if my child suffered a life-threatening illness, but I'm guessing my response would involve music. That was a big part of how Boston musician Alastair Moock reacted when one of his twin 5-year-old daughters, Clio, was diagnosed with leukemia last summer. He sang traditional songs and made up new ones with Clio, which the two of them sang together in her hospital room.
Moock's new album, Singing Our Way Through: Songs for the World's Bravest Kids, is based on his family's experiences with Clio and her fellow patients. Kids fighting illness and their families are its primary audience, but its message of clear-eyed hope and comfort isn't just for kids.
You don't need to have a child (or be one) to appreciate "Home When I Hold You," Moock's duet with fellow Boston singer Aoife O'Donovan. Moock crowd-funded the album's production so he could give it away to patients and kids' cancer units. With Clio now in remission as she starts her second year of chemotherapy, he's also free to take these songs on tour. The songs provide a combination of empathy and humor, offering strength to any families facing an uncertain future.

New DVTs whilst on warfarin??
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
This is probably a stupid question - but I don't know much about DVTs.
If you are on warfarin, and your INR is at a theraputic range, can you still get new DVTs?
I had DVT and PE on 10th June about two weeks after breaking my foot, and getting plastered (not the alcohol kind sadly). I didn't have any symptoms apart from being SOB - so am now a bit paranoid that it could happen again, and how would I know?
I ask because this morning at about 4am, I began having pain in my calf, and found a small lump. After a quick websearch, i rang NHS Direct. The nurse was really helpful, but I didn't have any of the classic signs. She told me that she'd seen lots of patients who had those symptoms, but an equal number who had no symptoms. I then spoke to an ut-of-hours doctor who told there was no risk, but then told me that if I felt more pain or became breathless to ring 999 straight away. The latter advice seems to contradict the former. It's def still there but it's not got mor painful.
So can anyone advise - can you get new DVTs whilst on warfarin? Very grateful for any light any kind soul an shed. Thanks in advance for reading my ramble.

It is possible to have another blood clot while on warfarin and in the standard therapeutic INR range of 2-3. So I've read, anyway. I'm not sure how common it is...in fact I think it's more of a risk if you have a genetic clotting condition, or certain types of cancer that cause a hypercoaguable state. In cases where warfarin does not work, they put you on lovenox (clexane) injections.
Since having my DVT in August of last year, I can tell you I have had all manner of aches and pains in my leg. Swollen lumps are for sure an issue to be checked out, particularly if they get bigger, but in general, if you FEEL a lump it's not a DVT. And if it's not a DVT it won't move to your lungs, or so I'm told.
Hope that helps ease your mind a bit!

That is certainly very helpful LauraLu - thank you for easing my mind. Really I mean It. I am trying not to dramatise every little niggle - I've never been like this before, and hate to think I'm turning into a hyperchondriac.
I have to say the smile i your pic is infectious too...
|View More Posts Ignore
My case is similar to yours but things happened in the opposite order. I had the painful calf niggle first, saw the doctors, was told it was in a "surface vein" and therefore "not life threatening", got sent home, and had the PE dx'ed 2 1/2 months later. Though the surface vein clot was harmless in itself, the bad part came in the places to which it spread in the absence of any real treatment.
With that in mind I cast my vote to at least get it checked out and identified as a clot or not a clot. Also, sometimes tests such as a doppler can somewhat distinguish an old clot from a newer one, or if there are indications of both. Getting some indication of where these things are/were and keeping them monitored is part of understanding the progression of your case and part of gaining the best possible recovery.
Also, it would be most insightful to eventually learn if you do have a genetic or acquired clot predisposition that may have contributed to your current situation.
Good luck and Godspeed.

Thank you More2be. i will certainly get it checked out and let you know. As to the genetic tsting etc, My INR clinic tell me they do that after about 6 months, when hopefully the warfain stops , owhen they discover you have a longer term condition. --- in fact I have alreadyhad a letter to confirm an appt for 3 December.
From reading other posts, I think they seem to do this earler in USa & Canada - is that right?
|View More Posts Ignore
Not necessarily earlier testing, just smarter testing. I had some degree of genetic screening after 11 mos. The doctor thought one could have no such screening while on warfarin. The more on-the-ball hematologist knew that, at least, one could get tested for Factor V Leiden and for PT20210 (Factor II) while still on warfarin. It was highly practical to do so given that Factor V affects 5% of the caucasian population and is the most common contributing reason for VTE in that at-risk population. I was found to have Factor V Leiden.
Knowledge of the mutation (or lack thereof), together with evaluation of the residual degree of damage, can result in a safer decision of warfarin cessation or warfarin continuation.

i go through the same with my dvt and pe if ever you get a knot on your calf easliy rub it till the pain goes away.remember not to hard you do want one breakin loose

Thanks more2be - very enlightening.
It is sooo helpful to know these things. I feel at least I can ask informed questions when I see my doctor --- who is lovely but a general practitioner. Hopefully this will speed recovery because I am taking more control. I am sure we have all got in the cycle of having appts, and then having to have more appts - because we don'tknow what to expect or what to ask. I want as mch of my life back as quickly as possible. It's so hard not to get frustrated with or body - that emotional rollercoaster again.
Thank too Hollywoodtone.

They tested me for genetic factors right out of the gate too - so I knew in a few days after my DVT that I was homozygous FVL with the presence of lupus anticoagulant.
Subsequent testing for antiphospholipid antibody syndrom and various autoimmune conditions have all been done while I've been on warfarin (and all negative, yay!)I was glad to know early instead of having to come off warfarin, be unprotected for the days and sometimes weeks it takes to get results back, and THEN have a positive dx and have to try and get back to range with my INR. Why some docs insist on waiting to test, like M2B said at least for FVL, is beyond me.
But breaking your foot and having it immobilized in a cast is cause enough for a clot, so whichever way your doc tests, we'll keep our fingers x'd this is a one-time event in your life!

Stuff has been proven and tested. Stuff also gives work crews the stuff. There is a new things in case you haven't seen that.

Tom Clancy's End War
Cant find Endwar
I have downloaded and installed the game, is what the gamers gate installer said, "installation complete" but i cannot find it, i have looked through my entire computer and computer searched it, i do not want to reinstall it, if someone has any idea what has happened please help me!
If you can't find it, you will to download again and this time keep the temp installation files.
Search for "Ubisoft" or "Tom Clancy" folder.
Check AntiVirus/Firewall is not blocking download and installation of game.
It's a Ubi Studios game so it should default to the 32-bit Program Files folder, subfolder Ubisoft.
Not that Allenknight's comment even remotely has any reference but Ubi is quite decent with DRM.
They patch out any DRM from older games, unlike most companies out there and are very quick about extra activations if it's ever needed. Mind you that the old DRM is NOT removed in the Steam versions, only the Uplay version (which you have anyways..).

|Despite NCAA sanctions and scholarship restrictions, Lane Kiffin has the Trojans on the rise. (Getty Images)
LOS ANGELES -- This story starts with an idiot called Lane Kiffin, and with the person calling him an idiot. That person is Lane Kiffin. He does it over and over, calling himself an idiot so many times that at first I'm giggling, but soon I'm wincing. He's remorseless, more than I ever was, and over the years I was thoroughly remorseless.
So I guess that's really where this story starts. It starts with me walking into Kiffin's office at Southern California this week, shaking his hand, accepting a bottle of water from the USC football coach, then blurting out:
"Do you have any idea what I've written about you?"
Kiffin doesn't blink. He's not much for blinking, really. He looks at you and just kind of ... looks. He doesn't smile much, either. He's bigger than he seems on TV, standing a shade over 6-feet-3, and thick enough to lift four or five reps of 275 pounds on the bench press. That's where he had been, actually, right before I showed up to his office. He had been working out, and his shirt is wet from sweat.
Kiffin doesn't show a lot of emotion, rarely does from what I can tell, but when I smile stupidly and ask him if he knows just how vicious I've been to him over the years -- that's what we in the journalism business call "an icebreaker" -- he shrugs.
"Probably the same stuff everyone else wrote," he says. Now he's leaning back in his chair. He sighs.
"Well, listen," he says. "You were right."
I was ... what?
• • •
Really, this story starts in 2009. That's when the world got to know Lane Kiffin. Before that he had been an assistant for six years at USC, and we didn't know him. We knew Pete Carroll. Then he was the head coach for 20 games at Oakland, but we didn't know him. We knew Al Davis.
In 2009 he became the head coach at Tennessee, and we finally came to know Lane Kiffin -- and nobody liked him, nobody but Tennessee fans, and they turned on him as soon as he bolted for USC after that one season. So that's where this story begins, in 2009. When we decided we didn't like Lane Kiffin.
|More on Southern California

|More college football coverage
It begins with a voice mail, with the idiot trying to reach the cheater. Well, that's what Kiffin called Urban Meyer in 2009 -- a cheater -- when they were in the SEC, Meyer as the resident monster at Florida, Kiffin as the new kid at Tennessee. Kiffin was feeling good about his recruiting class that spring, and he crowed to a bunch of Vols fans about the one he pilfered from Florida, Nu'Keese Richardson, who switched to Tennessee even though, Kiffin told the crowd, "Urban [tried] to cheat and still didn't get him."
Turns out, Kiffin was wrong. Meyer was no cheater. The violation Kiffin thought Meyer had committed? Calling Richardson's cell phone when Richardson was on an official visit to Tennessee? That wasn't a violation. So Kiffin tried to reach Meyer to apologize. Tried two or three times, left voice messages, never got a return call. That was 2009.
Meyer took the job at Ohio State this past November, and Kiffin tried to call again. Tennessee was long gone -- he had been at Southern California for two years -- but Kiffin tried again. He wanted to make it right. He called Meyer's cell phone and left another message.
Hey, it's Lane Kiffin. I was an idiot a few years back, but I'm happy for you. Congratulations.
This time, Meyer called him back.
"He was very understanding," Kiffin says. "I think we're good now."
Take it from Urban Meyer if you won't take it from me: It's not easy staying angry with Lane Kiffin.
• • •
"We're all actors," Kiffin tells me. "Another head coach told me that once. I had a conversation with him back when I was an assistant here -- I won't name him -- and he was very different than what I'd seen. He said, 'Lane, so much of coaching is acting. Whether you're motivating players, putting your spin on bad news, whatever the case may be.' We're all actors."
That's what Kiffin says he was doing at Tennessee. He told me it was an act, all of it. I made a face. Kiffin kept talking.
"I know what you're thinking: 'He's an idiot, he's covering himself,'" Kiffin says. "And look, on part of that you're right. Not everything was intentional -- the Urban thing, a couple other stuff I'm sure. But for the most part, I was doing what I thought was best for the program.
"I had lots of time to think and prepare for that [job] interview, and the Tennessee people liked my plan. Look, you better do something unique, or these kids ain't coming. It's not like Lane Kiffin was a household name. I'd been a head coach one year, won something like six games in Oakland. But we got some great players, I don't believe those things would have happened if I'm a quiet coach."
And yet, he is a quiet coach. Or he had always been a quiet coach. When he was an assistant at USC, he was nondescript off the field. Nobody knew who Lane Kiffin was. He recruited, he studied film. Who knew Lane Kiffin? Well, the people at USC knew Lane Kiffin -- and they didn't know the guy at Tennessee.
USC sports information director Tim Tessalone remembers thinking, as the Summer of Lane echoed around the country in 2009, "Who is that guy?"
"That wasn't the Lane Kiffin any of us knew," Tessalone said. "Around here, he was quiet, to himself."
For the most part, Kiffin is that guy again. His press conferences are no longer a blooper reel. They are no longer must-see TV. At USC, Kiffin is again quiet. He is again himself. He recruits like nobody's business, signing incredible classes under any circumstances -- much less for a team that was banned from the past two postseasons and is in the middle of a 30-scholarship reduction over three years -- but that recruiting dynamo is the Lane Kiffin the players see. It's not the Lane Kiffin we see.
"The press conferences now, are they exactly me? No, but it's close," Kiffin says. "I like to joke a little bit more, but I think that got beaten out of me a little bit by [SEC commissioner Mike] Slive."
Kiffin tried a joke last season after the Stanford game, when officials screwed up the spot after walking off a 10-yard holding penalty. He told a joke where the punch line was his 2-year-old son knowing 10 yards was actually 10 yards.
"I got fined $10,000 for that," Kiffin says, "so now I just tell my staff those jokes."
At Tennessee he told jokes and talked smack. He taunted Florida, Georgia, South Carolina. He says he was going for buzz, firing up the fan base, inspiring the players, attracting the attention of recruits. And all of that is true. But what's also true is this:
He was ticking off the rest of us.
Kiffin sees that now. He didn't see it then.
"As I look back -- and you're not going to agree, but hang on -- I was being un-selfish," Kiffin says. "Everything I was doing, I felt it was all about the program, all about the team. All I was concerned with were three groups: the administration, the fans and the players. And as far as I know, at the time, those groups loved it.
"But I didn't look at the big picture, at what this was doing to my image. If I'm an athletics director or a general manager [in 2009], I'm thinking, 'What is that idiot doing?' I wouldn't want anything to do with that guy. And I never thought about that."
He thinks about it now, and knows it's too late. There are people who will never like him after the way he acted at Tennessee.
"I was an idiot," he says.
Hard to disagree -- but it's also hard to keep hating a guy so willing to take the blame. Urban Meyer couldn't do it.
Can you?

Programme and project management are at the heart of value creation for many organisations, yet success in this area is elusive. Old solutions focused on process and compliance are simply not delivering what organisations and individuals require. Our PPM portfolio, extends the knowledge and practice of programme and project management to explore new solutions to the challenges of successful delivery.
Over the past five years, ICPM research has included investigations into
Unique in our Approach
We believe that successful programme management is fundamental to delivery of both core business and major change in organisations. Key to successful delivery are "intelligent" relationships, where organisations and providers selectively draw from best practices to design and execute programmes fit for their context and purpose. Our approach delivers this by:
Unique in the way we work
We see our research as the first step in a development process that results in realised benefits. We work with industry partners to identify gaps in knowledge and to understand the causes of those gaps, in order to develop and test solutions to their programme management problems.
Combined Expertise
Research alone is not sufficient to fill those gaps. It requires the combined expertise of world-class researchers and lead practitioners to design and provide a range of management processes and products that are practical, focused and relevant to organisations' needs.

One of the perks that I have as a photographer is the opportunity to shoot super cars every now and then. Sadly, I don't have a big ass studio that I can fit a car into, and I need to improvise by lighting cars on whatever location I can get. Those can be inside a garage or in the street, or somewhere else.
Here are 3 different lighting techniques that you can use with cars or when shooting large product or still life shots. [Read more…]

Idiots with a Voice: The Paisley Plot
By Josh Simons on May 29, 2008
Apparently, black and white scarves are "out" this year. You can wear one, but beware being labeled a terrorist or a supporter of terrorists by paranoid "pundits" with apparently nothing better to do than spew absurd crap like this.
Even if we allow that what looks like a paisley scarf to me is, in fact, a kiffiyeh, so what? Millions of people wear these every day. And millions of them are not terrorists.
I'm pretty sure Sirhan Sirhan was wearing pants when he shot Robert Kennedy. I want to assure the practitioners of political correctness that I in no way support the idea of assassination by wearing pants.

The modernist architecture of the complex looks as though it had dropped here from some other place. The only reason for this building being here, far away from any major roads or intersections or even towns, is that the village of Kumrovec is the birth place of Tito, the erstwhile President of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia.

113 Tasting Notes
I'm busy making some food (southern style stuffing and a veggie tray) for a friend's Thanksgiving gathering. I figured I'd put my recent tea advice to test and I'm glad to say it paid off.
I went with the advice I got from Jack (http://steepster.com/jack), Cofftea (http://steepster.com/Cofftea), and Angrboda's awesome conversions (http://steepster.com/Angrboda). I added about twice as much tea as I was using before and I got the much stronger flavors I was expecting. This tea naturally has some really strong flavors, but I think it worked much better.
Great sweet raspberry aroma, and super sweet and tart raspberry taste. It finishes with a little of the bitterness from the raspberries, but still good. I added a little bit of honey to cut some of that and it seemed to do the job. The one thing I'm not a big fan of is the hibiscus flowers, they can be a little overpowering.
But overall, much better and an enjoyable experience. Props to my Steeps!
I got a ton of emails this week…but I'm not seeing anything from you. Where did you send it to/what was the subject?
It was regarding Tea Swaps…from a gmail account (First Name Jennifer) sent it to [email protected] account.
With all these updates I've been forgetting to drink tea!!!! (I hope you're all happy)
I looked at some of the other reviews of this one and I'm afraid I don't get it. Or maybe I just have a long way to go with my tea preparation knowledge…
Absolutely love the aroma! That's the saving grace of this tea. Open the tin and you get hit in the face with chocolate (not literally). Some people probably wouldn't like that but I do. But after that amazing nose, I only get slight hints of those flavors in the liquid. There's a slight maltiness, but I don't get strawberries. Maybe a bit of sweetness for strawberries…but I think that's stretching.
Oh, and since situational drinking descriptions seem to be the trend now…I'm sitting in my apartment working on Steepster listening to 3Oh!3 (also from Boulder). Fatty (cat) is sleeping on the couch and Dexter (dog) is sleeping in his bed – real lively bunch.
Anyways, I'm really doubting my tea drinking skillz…where my Steeps at?
said in a high voice choking back the tears
Try steeping it a little less…over 5 minutes – depending on amount of loose leaf – might be the case. Was it bitter at all?
I should have mentioned how much tea I used in the review. I used about 2 1/2 heaping teaspoons for the pot, which is about 26 oz.
But my problem seems to be that I'm not getting all the flavor I expect to be getting out of the tea (especially flavored ones like this). That's why I don't imagine it's an over steeping issue, I seem to be getting better at avoiding bitter tea. Maybe my problem is setting my expectations correctly…maybe I'm just more of a tea purist (unflavored tea) than I know…
Try doubling that. I usually use about one heaping tsp per 6 oz of water… it's more than most companies recommend, but you can get an extra steep or two out of it anyway.
I don't know why, but the image of you crying on the couch squeaking out "WHERE MY STEEPS AT?!" while your dog and your cat stare at you and 3OH! 3 blares in the background is making me giggle madly.
Could be the delirium. [Oooh…delirium. http://momentumoffailure.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/del20tremens1.jpg ]
Could also be the fact that you're wearing a Shredder costume.
On a nearly unrelated note, does the lead singer of 3OH! 3 make anyone else feel like they're listening to a Hellogoodbye song when Don't Trust Me starts? That's the only song of theirs I'm familiar with.
I think a LOT of us were too busy being on steepster to drink tea today… but not me of course… LOL ok, I'm a bad liar. :)
takgoti, you crack me up. You're my poster of the week, fo sho. I just had to say that. And I agree with the 33 observation. Except that Hellogoodbye is superior!
P.S. Delirium is super strong, y0.
@teaplz Aw, shucks. Thanks, friend!
I like Hellogoodbye, too. Something about Two Weeks in Hawaii makes me feel like I'm in high school again. Strangely Weezer-esque for them.
P.S. Delirium Tremens is the only beer that I can claim to actively enjoy. Being that I have the tolerance for alcohol of a fourth-grader, it takes a little more than half of one for me to start breaking out the WHOOOOOs!
@jack: I'll give that a try.
@cofftea: I'm having a hard time figuring out the conversions there. Maybe because I'm tired. Maybe because I don't have a scale and its hard to convert grams (weight) into teaspons (volume). But assuming I can figure it out, I'll also give that a try :)
@takgoti: That's ridiculous. You're being ridiculous.
For one, I would NEVER sit on the couch and cry. I sit in my chair while working and do all of my crying there. Secondly, apparently I'm wearing a Shredder costume just because of my avatar?!?! That's crazy! It's friday, my costume is in the wash. I can't work in it 5 days straight, that's just gross! Mon-Thurs is the only reasonable limit. Stop being ridiculous.
I will stop being ridiculous when you reveal to us which one of your cohorts is Bebop and which one is Rocksteady. [I'd throw Krang in there but he's gross and I always hated his voice.]
It's the dog. His name is "Dexter Bebop". I always wanted to get a dog and name them either Bebop or Rocksteady, but when it actually came time, Rocksteady was just so impractical and would probably just end up becoming Rocky or Rock. Casey Jones was mentioned at one point, along with basically every other turtle character. We did seriously consider Bebop though. But in the end he just looked more like a Dexter so we made Bebop his middle name.
The cat's name is Hermes, but he's so fat we just call him Fatty (I didn't name him, he's my gf's cat).
Hey, a post with a setting is a post with character! :D Even better if you can throw some little background anecdotes in there as well.
As for the conversions, Jason, grams happen to be a standard measuring unit around these parts, so I pulled out me scales and a teaspoon and Adagio's apricot tea which I guesstimated must have roughly the same leaf size. One teaspoon with as much top on it as I could without spilling was 3 g. One teaspoon with a tiny little bit of top was 2 g. I would say that I have pretty standard sized teaspoons but my scales only deal with one decimal, so it's not terribly accurate, though. I could take it to work and measure there with five or six decimals, but considering the kinds of things that are normally measured there, I wouldn't be prepared to drink it afterwards. :)
Um, that's kind of awesome.
TMNT was the only thing my brother and I could agree to play when we were little before we discovered Captain Planet and the big momma, X-Men. He was not down with the My Little Pony and I wasn't a big fan of G.I. Joe. My only issue was that they always wanted me to be April and I wanted to be a turtle. So then they made me be Donatello because "He's purple and you're a girl." Those were bitter, bitter years.
A friend and I also once went through two entire rolls of quarters to beat the TMNT arcade game at Fuddruckers.
Go big or go home.
@angrboda: Thanks for the little exploration in conversions, that's awesome. So it looks like if I go with Cofftea's recommendation, that would be a single teaspoon (slightly more than "a tiny little bit of top") for every 6 oz of water. That's really helpful, I appreciate you doing that! Will try.
No problem, Jason. Turns out it came in handy again when someone over at LJ asked how many cups they could get out of 100 g :)
I read somewhere once that it's generally a good idea to do that in order to dose tea correctly, but I've never got around to it before. Most of my teas are brewed by guess and learning by doing.
Unfortunately I'm drinking the bagged version, not loose leaf. And I'm thinking that is playing a big factor in the experience. I get a distinct, artificial aroma and flavor from this one. I'm thinking it's coming from the plastic the tea bag was individually wrapped in, but I can't be sure.
I'm not really getting any of the jasmine, just a hint of sweetness followed by the classic green vegetal flavor. I'm getting a ting of bitterness, but I think that's just my feeling towards greens and the fact that my water might have been a little on the hot side. Even with the whole "artificial" aspect of the tea, it's still somewhat pleasing. I think in some weird way it reminds me of my grandparents or something (try to take that in the least weird way possible). It just kinda makes me think of their house, which, is not necessarily a flavor I want everyday but a nice reminder every now and then.
I have the loose leaf, and I think it tastes very good! There are jasmine petals in there. Its a pretty flavor and fairly strong as well. I'd recommend the loose leaf :)
Very nice, especially because I don't usually go for the greens. Good vegetal flavor, not too grassy/earthy or bitter. Light and airy with a touch of sweetness. The brew is surprisingly light in color, just a hint of green (unless you let it sit in the pot too long :) ). I think you green and non-green lovers might like this one.
This is quite the interesting experience. There's an awesomely powerful nose on the loose leaf itself, dominating any other possible notes, and on the brewed tea as well. Both reek (in a good way) of the sweet and nutty hazelnut flavor.
The loose leaf is pretty small, lots of little pieces with great brownish and red colors. It yields a light golden liquor that is quite nice. I've never actually had honeybush before, just it's cousin rooibos, but this had none of the bitterness or crushing earthiness of the rooibos. I'm not sure if it's because of the honeybush or if the hazelnut is masking those tastes.
When it comes down to it, the flavor of the tea is so-so. I'd place it generously on the bland, flavorless side. However, that doesn't fully dampen my feelings as I still enjoy the punch offered by the aroma. Since I'm not a fan of coffee but have always enjoyed the idea, the smell kinda reminds me of the fancy coffee treats they serve at Starbucks. So I feel all mature like I'm drinking a coffee drink. Is that a legit reason to enjoy a tea?
I'm glad I'm not alone with the whole coffee smell thing. For some reason it makes me feel like less of an adult because I don't like coffee, so it's nice to fake it every once in a while :)
As someone who lived on coffee for a solid five or so years, and thus shakes and eye twitches and horrible headaches from the caffeine withdrawal when you go without it, you're not missing out on much. It's definitely an acquired taste, but even when I was drinking it black I never liked it to the extent that I like tea. [And just as a side note, Starbucks specializes in crazy crap in their coffee because they often burn the beans. Not that I'm saying it doesn't make it taste good, because I'll still drink an espresso truffle or a pumpkin spice latte from time to time, but their coffee is piss.] Coffee does have an air of maturity about it, but tea makes me feel fancy and zen.
End diatribe.
So uh…tea drinkers rule and coffee drinkers drool! [Don't tell my friends I said that.] But a coffee-scented tea might be something I need to take a look at.
Zen I can do, I'd like to think of myself as rather zen-like. But maybe I'll take "sophisticated" instead "fancy".
I'm one of those former twitchy coffee-withdrawal people. I was so addicted, when I finally got off of it, I avoided it for 6 years – not just coffee but all caffeine. I'd maybe have a can of coke a year and that's it. But then I discovered tea… enough caffeine to get me buzzed, but not enough to make me hurt if I miss a day. Perfect! Haha!
My only sources of caffeine have always been tea and chocolate, there's nothing better in my opinion. :D
I've always wondered just how much the caffeine actually affects people. I don't drink coffee, but I've never noticed a difference in my energy caused by caffeine from soda or tea or anything else really. I always find it interesting that so many people who have caffeine/coffee related problems have switched to tea (that's why Jack, one of the other Steepster guys, switched to tea too).
The thing about caffeine for me, is that there are only two things that make my energy levels spike: coffee and energy drinks. [When I was working retail and it was a matter of survival, we'd down energy drinks like it was part of our job. It makes me shake a little involuntarily just thinking about it.] Otherwise, the difference it has in my energy levels isn't really NOTICEABLE.
With either one of those, I'd get hyper as well. With tea, it's just like that feeling of wanting to go to sleep, but you can't because you're awake. I don't feel ENERGIZED and I don't feel like I want to go do something RIGHT NOW, I just feel…awake.
So, tea caffeine = not ready to go to bed. Coffee caffeine = LET'S DRIVE TO PARIS AND GET BERETS AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING AND HEY! WHAT'S THAT? HEY! WHY IS MY ARM MOVING? I mean, it's not like that all the time, but it's easier to get there than it should be. Especially if you're not used to it. ["Regular" coffee, by the way, has a MUCH higher caffeine content than the more complicated drinks most places offer now.] And you can probably imagine what the crash is like. [Pretty devastating.]
Anyhow, it's not healthy. And to reiterate, the caffeine headaches are malicious little buggers. They don't take too long to show up and they're not very forgiving. I mean, technically, you're going through withdrawal. The headaches are number one reason why I decided it was time to kick coffee to the curb.
I'm pretty much with takgoti. If I have a cup of coffee (even just 8oz), my hands start to shake now. I usually have to have 12 – 16oz of a stout tea to get a hint of that reaction. Though I have done it to myself once or twice on sencha when I'm not really pausing between steeps and used a heavy hand with the leaf.
Coffee makes me chatty, bouncy and shaky. Tea usually makes me awake and aware. Soda, when I have it, tends to get me somewhere in between. Hyper, but not shaky.
I have never had an energy drink. They scare me.
@takgoti: I'm so with you. Caffeine withdrawal headaches: Worse. Headaches. Ever.
Based on the length of your tasting notes and comments, should I assume you're always jacked-up on some form of a caffeine packed beverage? You guys are crazy…and I love it!
Oh, Jason, Jason, Jason. You have not seen me hyper, so I guess I can't blame you for not knowing what my tea log would look like if I wrote in it whilst on a true caffeine high [incomprehensible]. The stuff I write on here is simply a result of my lack of a self-edit button [or, ironically, the time to actually sit and edit].
But I am glad that you are enjoying our insanity. It's quite cathartic on my end.
I like the aroma a lot. The almond mixes interestingly well with the sweet vanilla smell…but at the end I can't help but feel disappointed. There's a little flavor from each of the elements in there; a little black tea, a little vanilla, a little almond – but nothing powerful enough to make a compelling mouthful. It just comes off as a little on the bland side. Maybe more tea, 2 bags instead of one? Maybe a longer steep time? I'm not sure, I'll have to keep working with this one.
Why is it that the teas with the greatest scents always seem to disappoint? The last couple of teas I've tried have had great aroma but the tea itself was bland and unimpressive…
Did you try steeeping longer or tried two bags or asmaller mug? Just curious if it made a difference.
I really like the "bird's nest" shape and it makes me feel extra special to unwrap each individual nest, like each one is it's own little package made just for me. The liquor is a nice deep brown and the nose on it is nice too. Similar in taste to a black tea but with a deeper earthy sense, an almost root-like taste (in a good way). This seems like a good tea for classic tea drinkers, no bells and whistles…just straight tea flavor.
Just finished off the rest of the pot after having let it sit for a while. It's just luke warm but even stronger more solid flavors now. The aroma is more present and hits you sooner. It's nice that with time it seems to only have gotten better.
As my appreciation for pu-erh has only continued to grow as I branch out and try more, this one is going on the list. I have yet to try an actual pu-erh cake, and this sounds like a good place to start. Especially since I REALLY like the idea of opening little packages whenever I want a batch. Sometimes it's the little things in life that count.
I haven't tried a pu-erh cake either, but it seems pretty cool. Even though (I think) the majority of the time you just break it up anyways.
A good black tea. Nothing too amazing but good nonetheless. Lots of earthy tones and a nice soothing nose. Who doesn't like popping a couple of these finely rolled balls into your pot and watching them unfurl into all their steeping glory? Has enough strength to hold up to the morning grogginess without a harsh bite. Cocoa notes are too subtle for my untrained palate to pick up on. Grab a cup, i'm sure you'll like it.
Interesting. You've spurred me into trying this one riiiiight…now.
Also, I'm sorry, but hee hee hee, you said "balls." [I know. I'm five.]
@takgoti, i'll keep an eye out for your thoughts. At it's only available as loose leaf, not tea bags, right?
Light and sweet. First you get the sweetness of the apple and a hint of the raspberry. Then as the pink liquor travels back on your tongue you get more of the sour/bitter flavors of the cranberry and the hibiscus. This seems like a tea I would really like, except I can't quite seem to get the preparation down. My first cup was too light, not enough flavor, so maybe I needed to add more tea and steep for longer. The second cup (that I had left steeping) had a much more powerful flavor but a little on the bitter side. It would probably help if I had a proper kettle so I knew what temp my water is.
You could try getting one of those dinky little cooking thermometers that you can find in the grocery stores.
I feel like one of those variable temperature kettles would be good because right now I use a super old and crappy one. What do you use/recommend?
I know you're not asking me, but I'm gonna be a buttinski anyway. I use the Utilitea from Adagio, and it's pretty fantastic, though I sometimes find myself wishing for something more more precise.
I've heard good things about Cuisinart's.
But if I were in the market I'd probably get this one.
And continue to lust after this one.
@takgoti: yea that last one looks amazing, I've even tweeted about it before. The utilitea is more in my price range but I would like something that has fairly precise temp control. Hmm, so many decisions…
I picked up one recently at Upton Tea Imports and I adore it. It has four temperature settings and it heats a full kettle of water to 212 degrees in three minutes flat (I timed it). Plus it is on sale, so I got it for $42.88. Here's the link:
Just wanted to say that I lust after the Bugatti as well. If only I could afford to spend that kind of money on a tea kettle.
Don't bother w/ the UtiliTEA, it's SO much more inferior than the Breville. Sure it's cheap, but that's because it doesn't have all the features to make the perfect cup of tea. Why waste any amount of money on something that doesn't work the way it should?
I was wrong. Never mind w/ the Breville either. This has WAY more settings and is a heck of a lot cheaper. I'm getting this ASAP.

Last night's season finale episode of "Amish Mafia," was titled "Shepherd's End." The episode begins in Lancaster as Levi and his crew are waging war against the English people who are corrupting the Amish people. As they raid a motel, they find lots of evidence and warn the owner not to rent rooms to Amish any longer. When he tells them that is how he makes his money, Levi sends in Jolin to give him a message.
In Lancaster, Caleb is tired of the man who has been videotaping and stalking Levi and his henchmen. As they confront him, he will not give them any information about who he works for.
In Ohio, Andrew is spotted stealing Wayne's peacocks. As Wayne drives to his home, he tells the producer that he has to collect Amish Aid, but first has to feed his peacocks and chickens. When he arrives, he sees that his peacocks are missing and has no idea where his prized birds could be.
In Lancaster, John and Freeman go into a bar which is the first place the Amish kids go when they are breaking English. As John confronts the owner, he tells him that he knows that he lets Amish kids in there who are not supposed to be drinking. He tells John he is there to make money as Freeman stands outside the room listening. When he refuses to heed John's warning, he tells him that if he keeps selling to them, the place will not be there any longer. Then he sends Freeman in who closes the door behind him. When he came back out, Freeman had blood on his face, but nobody else walked out of the door.
Alan Beiler is finally getting out of jail and although many people forgot about him while he was in there, he is about to let everyone know he is out and this time they will not forget him.
Levi is about to visit a man who rents cars to the Amish. Amish are allowed to drive cars as long as they aren't with the church, but the people they rent to are with the church. Esther relates that English who give help to the Amish, who want to live like the English are called shepherds. They spot a shepherd showing an Amish couple how to drive the car they are renting. Then they see them change into English clothes. They could not do this without help from a shepherd. Now after the couple drive away, they intend to straighten the guy out. As Levi, Jolin and Alvin tell the guy he has to stop renting cars to the Amish who belong to the church, he tells them that he will rent to anyone who has money. They then tell him that he better stop it or they will deal with him. He tells them not to threaten him on his own property, so they leave, for now.
Esther let the mafia know who the main guy in Lancaster who makes fake ID's for the transitioning Amish. By carrying a photo ID, it is against Amish teaching, as it is a false idol. Caleb went to the man to get an ID, it will cost him one hundred dollars. As Caleb looked at the samples, he knew many of the guys in the pictures and the man made IDs for different states. While this was happening, the rest of the gang was in the front of the shop. Then Caleb told the man he had a friend who needed one too, the man told him for two the price is $160. Then Caleb quickly closed the door, when Jolin went in with a gun in the back of his pants. When the man stated he was just trying to make a buck, they started destroying his equipment. When they left the shop, the producer ran after them and told Caleb to wait up. Then Caleb went after him with a baseball bat and asked if he ever shut up? Then he told him that he was as English as the rest of them.
As Levi was pulling into a driveway, he said that he had to cut off the supply of English temptation. Alvin then drove the car away as a man went chasing after him. Alvin then set the car on fire and drove off with Levi.
Officer Castline relates that John has refused to help him any longer about Levi's activities and related that the information he provided was bull crap anyway. He then knocks on a man's door, it is Alan, and he explains that they both have a common interest in bringing Levi down. Alan does not take too kindly to the police, but he does have a point. Castline tells him that he can do it the right way, or do it the wrong way and get locked up again. With or without his help, he plans to lock up Levi. He leaves as Alan contemplates his offer.
In Ohio, Wayne is on his way to take care of business. He pulls up a driveway and honks his horn loudly. Out walk Ruck and Andrew, who try to stop him from entering the garage, but Wayne comes in with a large pipe and comes out carrying his peacocks. When the producer tells him to wait, there are only two peacocks in there, he already knows. As he asks him what happened to Andrew and Ruck, he is told to shut up or the same thing will happen to him.
Castline is on his way to speak with Levi, who is not aware that charges have not been brought up against him. Castline convinces him to get out of his car and have "just a conversation" with him. As Castline takes him for a drive, he tells Levi that he is doing things in broad daylight that he could get in trouble for. Levi tells him if the media would stay out of it, it would be better, but the officer tells him he is on national television. Levi tells him that the camera guys continue to go to places where he does not want them to go and they are just a crooked as anyone else.
Later, as Levi comes out of the police station with criminal defense attorney, Steven Breit, they will not answer any questions the producer has for them.
Levi states that he has had trouble before, but the private investigator and the constable are following him everywhere. With all that is going on, he has tough decisions to make. He arrives at Esther's house and must speak to her about things, in case something happens to him. She is shocked that he is even thinking about giving up Amish Aid, and knows things must be out of control. He said that Alvin is not aggressive enough, Jolin is Mennonite and Caleb is too hot-headed to be in charge. The problem is, John is the logical candidate, Levi does not trust him, but he is a Schmucker, and the community will be happy with that. When the producer asked Esther if this was her dream; she said not like this. Levi asked her if she still remembered where her father used to take her to her favorite spot? When she replied in the affirmative, he told her if anything happens, to take what is there.
As John gets out of Steven Breit's car, the wording on the screen reads; John was cooperating with local law enforcement in the hopes of avoiding jail time for his current case. On February 21, 2014, John was scheduled to appear before the Pennsylvania District Court. As the cameras followed them into the courthouse, Breit told them he had too much going on with John and to respect their privacy. When they returned from the courthouse, Breit told the cameras that John was found guilty. When asked the charge, he told them it was John's tenth time while driving under suspension and the court had no mercy. He had the sentence cut in half and John must serve ninety days in jail, but he will be filing an appeal.
In Ohio, Wayne tells that the bishop gave him an ultimatum; Amish Aid or Karrie? He wants the respect of the community and Amish Aid is very important to him, but Karrie is also important, as they have been together for a long time. Wayne is pissed that Merlin did this to him and is forcing him to make a choice. Wayne meets with Karrie and asks her to marry him, and now he does not care who the church will put in charge of Amish Aid and he doesn't care.
As Levi is meeting with a farmer who is struggling financially, to help him with Amish Aid, Breit pulls up in his car. He must speak with Levi and asks the cameras to stop rolling. He tells him he has been picked up and questioned by the police, and that John is going to jail. He tells Levi that he has a bulls eye on his back and he tells him to quit the show, and as his attorney he believes it is appropriate. Then Levi gets into his car and leaves the camera crew and producer behind. As they call after him, he tells them they are done.
On February 25th, Levi told the crew to meet him at a barn in Strasburg, to film him distributing Amish Aid to a farmer in need. As the camera crew drove there, they spotted Levi's car but could not see if he was in the car because of sun glare. When they approached the car, he was not inside, so they went into the barn. Levi was in the loft and looked down at them. He told them to come up there with no cameras, so all monitors and record indicators were turned off, but they continued to record video. In the loft stood Levi, Esther, Caleb, Jolin and John. Levi made sure all devices were turned off, but a cell phone continued to record. He stated that because of them, everyone was after him. The producer told him there was fourteen days of shooting left, but Levi stood his ground and told them no cameras. Esther told them how much trouble they were in because of the cameras being on them, even when they requested that they be turned off (like now).
The producer asked what would they show the, if it's not this? Levi stated that he wanted to show how they take care of people in the Amish way, but they tried to show that it was worse than what it was and they have the cops following all of them around. When Levi told them he just wanted to build his business up again, the producer told he that they could help, but they want no more filming. They stated that the show was over and if they wanted to leave in one piece, to leave now. The producer told them there was no need to get violent, but they told them the worst thing they did was let English people in their lives. As they were ready to smash their phones and cameras, the crew left.
The production spent the rest of the day attempting to re-establish ties with Levi. When they found Steven Breit, he served a cease and desist order to the Discovery Channel to discontinue shooting "Amish Mafia." As of February 26, 2014, production on the show has been halted.

This screech owl was found in a chimney and was covered with soot. We kept him a few days made sure he was waterproof and sent him back home. Always cap your chimney.
Think globally, act locally.
You read and care about saving the rain forests in another part of the world, and yet we continue to pollute our own back yards and think nothing of it. If each and everyone of us would just take responsibility for our own actions, our own yards would be a much better place to live in.
1--Always make sure infant wildlife really needs you to intervene. Wild parents are not with the young all the time. Watch and observe before you take the young bird, or mammal away from its home territory.
2--Keep your cats and dogs with you, don't let them just run. Feral cats roaming kill some 39 million birds a year alone in Wisconsin. This figure is taken from, " Cats and Wildlife A Conservation Dilemma" Click here for complete document.
3--Educate your children to respect wild things. Children need to understand that wild birds are not pets and should not be taken from the nests and played with. They should also be taught not to take nests, eggs, or feathers from a bird. It is illegal to posses any of these items.
4--To avoid animals from nesting in your chimneys and vents put caps over them. Some of the animals that will use these places are raccoons, barred owls, kestrels, ducks, or any other cavity nester.
5--Make sure you don't litter. Some of things we throw away can harm wildlife and even cause death. They may include the plastic rings around six packs of pop, fishing line, sinkers, kite string, and even rubber bands like on this sandhill crane. The rubber stopped him/her from eating and drinking.
6--When you change your motor oil, make sure you dispose of the waste oil in a proper container. Left unattended a bird might get oiled from it. This is also true of anti-freeze, it tastes good and will kill the bird that gets into it.
7--When cutting down a tree, check first to see if some wild bird is nesting in it. Some nests are easy to see on the branches, but some will be in the holes in that tree. Dead trees provide many food sources and nesting opportunities for wild birds.
8--When driving through a wetland, or any rural area be more aware of wild animals. Animals do not realize the danger of an oncoming vehicle. Take the time to push a slow moving turtle off to the shoulder, rather than run it over. It too has a family to care for in the wild.
9--Lawns don't do wildlife any good. There are no places to hide their young or themselves. Plant native plants and let your yard become a haven for wild birds and mammals. Think before you put chemicals on you lawn, if they are not good for children and dogs, that same rule would apply to wild things also. The signs don't help, like stay off for so many hours, birds and mammals can't read.
10-Large windows can be marked so that birds realize that they cannot fly through them. Tie some streamers, or bird silhouettes on the glass surface, or even allow the glass to get a bit dirty. Reducing the reflection should cut down on birds who collide and often kill themselves in doing so.
11-Do not attempt to raise infant wildlife. It is illegal and wild things do not make good pets. For them being in captivity is very stressful. Young animals, birds or mammals, need to be raised with their own kind in order to survive in their world. They need to develop those survival skills and fear of humans to make it in the wild. In the wild world there are no shades of grey, only black and white, either you make it or you don't....there are no in-betweens.
12- Don't throw your old tires and lawnmowers into wetland waters, they do not go away. The gas and oil in a lawnmower will make the water unsafe for the wild things that come to drink. Be responsible and treat our land and water well, so our children have the same good quality in their lifetime.
13-When buying a gun for your children, remember to teach them how to use them and what not to shoot at. BB GUNS, BLOW GUNS, OR CO2 GUNS should never be used on living creatures for target practice. Birds have feelings just as we do.
14-Always remember to minimize your impact on our wild neighbors. The earth belongs to all of us....RESPECT ALL LIFE.

It's been a while. Thoughts on vast amounts of data
By Chris W Beal-Oracle on May 24, 2005
Now I'm back in the UK things are back to there usual hectic nature and I've neglected my embryo of a blog. So I'm going to make a conscious effort to try and blog before going home. So I was sent a very interesting paper today by Clay Shirky. It started me thinking about the nature of file systems. UFS now supports 16 TB of data in a single file system. OK there are limitations on the number of files, but that's still a heck of a lot of data that needs to be organised. The trouble is our file systems and email folders and many other things we do on our computers assume that the "thing" we're looking at can be easily categorised and infact many times they can't. The paper describes many examples, but the paper itself is as good as any. I wanted to provide a link to the paper in this blog entry, I remembered it have been emailed to me, but email folders tend to run rampant with things I think are going to be useful. I never remember where I've put something. I also remembered it had ontology in the title, and was sent to me by by Peter Harvey. These could be described as metadata for the paper. By searching for this meta data I found the link to the paper again. Where it was was irrelevant. The extension that Clay Shirky makes is that if you get a large number of people to add the meta data they think is important to a document (eg a URL) then you get, on average, a good classification of the document which can be used to find it. The beauty is that the quality of the cateforisation, and hence the ability to find the data increases with the number of people adding the meta data (refered to as a tag) From a technical point of view this could be done now using UFS extended attributes. What would be needed would be a simple tool to add the tags to the data and search the extended attributes for the documents. Sounds like an RFE for Nautilus. The only trouble is I guess one of scale. How would it work unless we have a large number of people adding their tags to the files. I need to give this more thought, but I the paper really got me thinking and I hope it does you too.

Sergi Sirvent Escuť: Cal.liope
Sergi Sirvent Escuť (piano)
9 Muses (Fresh Sound New Talent FSNT 193CD)
Sergi Sirvent Escuť (piano),
Esteban Hernandez (bass), Daniel Dominguez (drums).
Composed by Sergi Sirvent Escuť.
Recorded: Barcelona, Spain, July 7-8, 2003
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
This is the first track of a double CD devoted to the theme of the 9 muses of Greek mythology. Catalan pianist-composer Sergi Sirvent Escuť opens this lengthy multiform opus with this trio piece around Calliope. He alternates virtuoso right-hand streaks and repetitive motifs on the left hand, goes from groovy passages to more ad-lib abstract ones, and is followed by a rhythm team that offers strong and colorful support. Such an atypical tune from such a young artist, whose influences encompass classical music, Herbie Hancock and pop music, explains why Sirvent is considered one of the most promising musicians of the lively Barcelona scene.
