US Stocks: With Little to Worry About, Some People Get Worried
Lloyd Khaner
When the wall (of worry) comes tumblin' down, it's time to remember what major issues still haunt investors.
Wall comes down, market goes up; that's how it's supposed to work with our Wall of Worry, and that's how it's been going down. The Wall hasn't been this low in a long, long time. That doesn't mean it can't go lower -- it can and probably will. What it does mean is that stocks likely aren't cheap at the moment. Not exactly a major news flash, I know.
So where to now that the
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) cracked 16,000 and the
(INDEXSP:.INX) pushed through 1,800? The
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) is working to get back to its old 5,200+ record and the
(INDEXNIKKEI:NI225) is less than halfway to its old peak of 39,000+.
Oh, if it were only as easy as marking a spot on a chart and drawing a line.
We may just in be for an old-fashioned seasonally calm stock market at the end of the year. Of course that sentiment in itself is causing unease among the investing glitterati. With little to worry about, some people get worried. We can surely fall into that camp at times, but our take is that at 17 worries on the Wall, the all-clear siren has not been sounded just yet.
We still have the Godzillas and Gameras like QE, the US Economy, Unemployment, and the perennial High-Frequency Trading on our minds. Maybe we market-watchers should just enjoy the ride for the time being -- you know, stop sweating it and enjoy making money the easy way as sometimes this is what the market gods offer?
Here's a quick look at the worries facing stock market investors. Click on the image below for an interactive version of
this week's Wall of Worry
, or scroll down for the text-only version and an explanation of how the Wall works.
Santa Fed leaving a lump of taper coal under the Christmas tree? Hard to imagine.
What's the difference what the rate is? No one believes the government numbers anyway.
: It's punky now but next year…which will morph into the second half of next year. And so on.
Will 16,000 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average turn the herd in a positive direction?
To devalue the euro or not to devalue the euro? That is the question. Throw in "how" and "when" as well.
Showing up in single stocks and the emotional stability of fund managers more than in the averages.
Lloyd: Thanksgiving plans?
HAL: Food, football, fan the flames for a weak Black Friday that freaks out the markets.
Lloyd: Same 'ol.
HAL: Same 'ol.
Bad loans building up in its banks. That was about as hard to predict as Chinese consumers adopting fast food and the Internet.
It's still a US- and China-dependent world. Ergo, we continue to worry about it.
Back to nice, calm, placid seas, but keep the rogue-wave watch going 24/7 just in case.
Earnings, eh. Guidance, eh. Reaction,
hell yeah
Someone better cheer up the US consumer before Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Free-for-All December.
Can $3 gasoline and 40% off sales spur some shopping? Man, I hope that turns out to be a rhetorical question.
First, do no harm...please. Then, do something!
Yet another pothole that Congress will hit. Truth be told, it will probably be aiming for it.
The good news is that expectations are low. The bad news is that they could go lower.
Putting a modern eurozone spin on an old FDR maxim: We have only just begun to cut!
What Is Lloyd's Wall of Worry?
Lloyd Khaner
Welcome to my at-a-glance guide to the issues facing investors this week -- a unique tool for traders and money
Typically the term "wall of worry" refers to the entire body of concerns influencing stock market action. When the wall is high, meaning the market is nervous, stocks tend to get cheaper.
This wall of worry is even more specific. Every week I list the exact concerns in the marketplace and use the list to help me make buying and selling decisions. As I like to say, "Buy fear, sell cheer."
In other words, once the the wall rises above 15 blocks, start looking for deals. If the worry count sinks below 10, consider selling; prices have likely peaked.

Justine writes, "I have been searching for a crossbody bag that I can carry around this summer that isn't huge and clunky like my winter-time bag. I want something that's big enough to hold a pocket edition Sony e-reader, my cell phone, and my wallet. I have found many adorable mini crossbodies and a few larger crossbodies but they are never the right size. Please help! My shoulders will thank you."
According to Sony website, a pocket edition Sony e-reader measures 6 ¼ x 4 ¼ inches, so we steered towards bags in the 10-11 inch range. And, since its summer, we're guessing you want something bright, colorful (though many of the bags are available in other more neutral colors), and fun that will pair with all your warm-weather outfits. Hope one of these fits the bill!

2 - Kate Spade La Casita Sammie ($275)
3 - The SAK Tolowa Cross-Body ($129, 4 colors)

Also try the Harvey's seatbelt bags - messenger style. It's my absolute favorite crossover bag - and would totally fit your e-reader and keep it safe. http://www.seatbeltbags.com/mini-messenger.html
I love my cross-body messenger bag from Briggs & Riley. It's not as funky as some of the bags on this post, but it's pretty casual and functional. It's actually a multi-purpose bag and I can also take it to work as it comes with a very handy removable laptop sleeve!

A pregnant moose walking along Highway170 in L'Anse St. Jean,Quebec was hit by a car so hard that that it forced her to expel her unborn calf as she died. In fact, passerbys who witnessed the accident found the female calf still in her gestational sac, covered by amniotic fluid beneath the car that killed her mother. Realizing the baby was still alive, they quickly unblocked her windpipe and wrapped her in blankets before calling the Falardeau Zoo to come to the rescue.
The zoo, located in Saguenay, is known for rehabilitating animals, then caring for those that cannot (by Quebec law) be released back into the wild.
Farlardeau founders and co-owners Daniel Gagnon and Suzie Girard praised the "first responders" for saving the baby's life, and reported that she is now under the care of veterinarians who gave her her "first crucial milk" (colostrum) before tending to some minor abrasions. The little moose, which has since been christened "Star" has been given a "9 out of 10 chance for survival," and will most likely join the zoo's herd of 4 adult moose.

When the game started, I noticed Jason Allen was starting for Vontae. I said aloud "I didn't know Vontae was injured." And then on the second series, Vontae came in. He had been 'suspended' for one series as a "Coach's decision"....neither wouldn't elaborate, but Vontae did say he learned a lesson.Like This Article ? :

The only thing "Harry Potter" got during the Oscars ceremony was a joke from host Billy Crystal saying that, despite how much money the series has made in the box office, it's only had to pay 14 percent in income taxes. It certainly was a poor send-off for one of the most beloved and highest-grossing movie franchises in film history.
The series has never been honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Sunday night's (February 26) three losses — for art direction, makeup and visual effects — brought the total number of losses to 12 for the eight films.
"Potter" star Evanna Lynch took to Twitter to express her frustration, writing, "Agggghhhh this is infuriating… Bloody muggles. #oscarfail"
Agggghhhh this is infuriating… Bloody muggles. #oscarfail

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" lost twice to "Hugo" (a fellow children's film) and once to "The Iron Lady." "Harry Potter" leading man Daniel Radcliffe gave his take on the lack of respect for the big-screen adaptation of J.K. Rowling's franchise in a recent interview.
"There's a certain amount of snobbery [in the Academy]," Radcliffe said. "It's kind of disheartening. I never thought I'd care. But it would've been nice to have some recognition, just for the hours put in."
He added, "I don't think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed by Martin Scorsese. I was watching 'Hugo' the other day and going, 'Why was this nominated and we're not?' I was slightly miffed."
The Academy didn't even offer "Harry Potter" a series achievement award like the BAFTAs did last year. Some "Potter" fans had expected the series to be rewarded by the Academy for its many years of financial and critical acclaim the same way Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was. Unfortunately, that did not end up being the case.
Despite a lack of love from the Academy, we at MTV News decided to honor the series in this week's edition of Talk Nerdy.

2015 Honda Accord Hybrid
- By admin
- 1 February, 2014
- No Comments
The announced new 2015 Honda Accord surely won't be restyled version of previous model, although that vehicle was fantastic and without competition in sedan segment. Beside all of success that this model has achieved, last year Honda decided to present upgraded Accord for 2013 year. And when you consider that design experiments and equipment updates are expected from Japanese automaker, surprises are not expected, but when arrives a new 2015 Honda Accord you will be astonished.
Firs version of this vehicle was presented 36 years ago, and since then every new model of Accord was differently classified. Sometimes as a hatchback, a few generations as a sedan, and also as a full-size vehicle. But no matter how it was defined, there always was a need from buyers for this car. And fact that this model was best selling Japanese vehicle from 1982. to 1997., prove that theory. Although in that period, competition in sedan car segment was not as big as today, but Honda Accord is the first Japanese vehicle which start to produce in America. And brand's main goal is to try to score market sales results from that golden period.
We suppose that Honda in this next-gen Accord will totally back characteristics of mid-size sedan car. No matter is it two or four doors version, customers have a possibility to choose a multiple options which can improve comfort, economy and efficiency of new 2015 Honda Accord. The interior in current Accord model is very luxurious and improved in comparison to previous version. And that is main characteristic of this Japanese automaker, its always improving. So we do not expect that the 2015 Accord will be totally redesigned and that it will offer a new updated operating systems, and also better entertainment features.
2015 Honda Accord Hybrid Release Date
It is expected that in the new 2015 model Honda will offer the same engines which are used in the current 2013 Accord version. The base power-train in the Japanese, European and Australian markets is 2.4- liter 16-valve DOHC four-cylinders with direct injection, so called "Earth Dreams". That engine produce 185 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, and is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The engine reserved for American market, but optional for overseas buyers, is 3.5- liter 24-valve SOHC V-6 that makes 278 horses and 252 lb-ft of torque. It is offered with a six-speed transmission, both manual or automatic. The current Accord Hybrid version is also powered with a 2.0- liter Atkinson engine, electric motor and lithium ion batteries, and that produce 196 horsepower and 226 lb-ft of torque.
And the new Honda Accord like this, we can expect in mid 2014.

The NFL has received more than 500,000 ticket requests (from 160,000 individuals) for the game. Most are from Brits. And here's the kicker - the tickets haven't even gone on sale yet!
Some will be allotted to each team, of course, and the NFL has some reserved for special guests, but they expect attendance to be over 85,000.
Yeah, if you wondered why the NFL decided to do this, and to take a Dolphins franchise that has trouble selling out its home games (I think Miami has the 3rd lowest season ticket sales, or some such), you've got your answer.
Its green and it has presidents on it.

The Buddy Holly "RT-43-45" Guitar Project
It's official: we are building 18 guitars for the Buddy Holly Guitar Foundation, a new non-profit organization dedicated to furthering Buddy Holly's legacy as a singer/songwriter/guitarist and the cause of music education.
The story starts for us in 1990 when I restored Buddy's 1943 Gibson J-45 for actor/performer Gary Busey who had bought the guitar at a Sotheby's auction for $275,000.00 after playing the title role in the movie, "The Buddy Holly Story." The guitar was in rough shape; there was a side crack going completely around the guitar body from upper bout of the treble side, through the end block, and back up to the upper bout of the bass side. Complicating the repair was the tooled leather cover that Buddy himself had made and sewed onto the body of the guitar in emulation of Hank Snow's guitar…or was it Elvis' guitar? Reports conflict! But Buddy was a dedicated amateur leather worker, did all the work himself, and Gary would not let me remove the cover to fix the damage, so I had to do all the gluing and crack reinforcement working through the soundhole. Luckily, I was still svelt enough to get my arm all the way into the guitar to get the glue all the way around and deep enough into the crack, though I cannot vouch for how the guitar sides look on the outside. Somehow I don't think anyone will ever see that, so I hope it doesn't matter!
Part of the restoration process was refretting the guitar as Gary wanted to be able to play the guitar out on club gigs. I offered to help facilitate getting a couple of copies of the guitar made, but no dice…Gary wanted to play the real thing out to have Buddy's vibe on stage with him. When the job was done, Gary let me keep the old frets…19 frets upon which Buddy had literally written many of his hit songs. The bits of metal stayed in an old string envelope in various drawers in various workshops for twenty years. Every now and then I'd come across them and wonder what to do with the frets…put each on a silver chain necklace? Frame them with the story? One went to a lady friend of mine in Tasmania, so the collection was down to 18…
In December of 2009, the guitar, now owned by another person (I don't know who) went up for auction at Christie's Auction House with an expected sale price in excess of $500,000.00. I happened to mention on an on-line blog that I had the original frets, and in January I was contacted by Peter Bradley, a Buddy Holly fan in England. Would I be interested in selling the frets? Yes, and the transaction was completed. Then Peter ordered three guitars from us: a Model 1; a high end Renaissance RS-6; and a Compass Rose acoustic asking that I do "my thing" on the acoustic, but keep Buddy's spirit in mind.
And then came the big one…would I be interested in making 18 replicas of the original 1943 J-45? Well, sure! Building guitars is what we do here at Turner/Renaissance guitars. This coincided with our increasing commitment to making acoustic instruments as well as my interest in combining the best of the tradition of acoustic guitar building with modern materials and knowledge. I'd been wanting to try combining some of my ideas on improving the weak structural areas of traditionally built steel string guitars with the use of old materials like using hot hide glue, Adirondack spruce, and light mahogany sides and backs.
A number of serendipitous things fell into place: A friend, John Thomas, is finishing up a book on Gibson "Banner Era" flattop guitars made between 1942 and 1946, and he is THE US expert on these instruments having interviewed a dozen of the women who made them…yes, most of the Gibson workforce at that time were women, and he has all the available factory information on the guitars and has gone way beyond the beyond with X rays and MRI scans of many of the originals. John was able to confirm that Buddy's guitar did indeed have a laminated five piece maple and walnut laminated neck; the original had no truss rod (though we will put them in); purfling and rosette specs were somewhat different on the earliest J-45s, and the originals had Adirondack spruce tops…some two piece, some four piece, as well as taller but scalloped top bracing than subsequent models. And interestingly, these guitars were build to significantly higher standards of crafts(woman)ship than the guitars built before or after that era. The Banner Gibsons have truly earned their reputation.
What we…Peter, John, and I…settled upon was that I would build what might be called an "Enhanced J-45" to be designated the "RT 43-45". They will have the original style maple/walnut laminated necks, but with a two way acting truss rod and two 1/8" x ½" carbon fiber rods running from the nut to just under the 19th fret carrying right through the critical neck joint area. Further reinforcement of the top and fingerboard extension over the top will be provided by topping the upper bout transverse brace with carbon fiber. These modern touches will, if anything, improve tone and sustain while keeping the guitars playable through virtually any playing or touring conditions. As a balance to the modern materials, 98% of the body construction will be done in original materials…mahogany for back, sides, and kerfed linings with Adirondack spruce for the top and all braces, mahogany for the neck block…yet Baltic birch for the vulnerable tail block. All body glue joints are being done with traditional hot hide glue which many luthiers believe makes for a better sounding guitar as the glue dries crystalline hard.
In February, Peter asked me if I could get one of these new guitars to Graham Nash and also asked if there were other musicians I might think of who would like to receive one of the instruments. It dawned on me that this was not to be a money making project for Peter; but rather he was interested in furthering Buddy's legacy, and that there might be an opportunity to use the guitars to raise money for non-profit organizations dedicated to encouraging music education and the participation in music as and everyday activity rather than just being a product that people "consume".
And so was born the idea of creating the Buddy Holly Guitar Foundation, and organization that would LOAN out the guitars to worthy musicians for two year periods of time with the understanding that the musicians use the instruments in various fund-raising events, on CDs, or videos.

You can see the vents. In typical Thinkpad fashion, the computer doesn't get hot. Just warm. Lots of vents on this with the main vents being on the sides. Blurry shot but the Thinkpad has the usual drain holes if you spill water on the super excellent keyboard.
Oh, yeah, it has the thicker battery… windows was telling me 5 hours of run time with the screen brightness turned up.
Sorry for the crappy shots! I took them quickly without checking. And the lens distortion is really visible there. The computer isn't bent like that.

5 Ways to INCREASE BATTERY LIFE (iOS 4) [iPhone | iPad | iPod Touch]25
5 simple tips to increase and save battery on you iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Here is the written script: 1.A big battery killer is screen brightness. Make sure it is set at around half full and and have auto-brightness toggled. 2.Another is if you have an email account set up on your device. If you do, head over to the Settings application, tap on the Mail, Contacts, Calendars option and then look for Fetch New Data. Look under Fetch have it set to Hourly, or for extreme battery saving, click Manually. Personally, I have it on hourly, witch automatically checks if I have new mail every hour from the last check ( you can also check for mail manually by opening the mail app). Under Manually, the device will only check for mail if you open the application. 3.Push Notifications. To see which apps have this feature activated, go to settings, and then Notifications. Go through all of the apps in the list and only toggle the ones that are actually needed 4. The last daily step to increase battery life are the background apps. When you double press the home button, hold down a application icon until it starts wiggling and a red X appears in the corner of it. Close app the apps until it's empty. 5. The last step, which is very important, but only required every month or two, is the most time consuming. Calibrating the battery. To do so charge your iDevice (at night) until completely (100%) full. Allow it to remain plugged in two hours after 100% (although you can use it or not …

One of the most common human errors committed by almost everyone is the negligence of reading the user?s manual on the purchase of new product. If one does read it?the reading may not have gone beyond the first two pages. By doing so, we generally miss out on many important tips and instructions on the product, in our case here, the laptop battery?the correct usage guides. Unlike the past years, current laptop batteries are made of lithium ions (Li-Ion) which are more competent than their predecessors.
Today, online sources are flooded with technical and simple guides on laptop battery use and its run-life. In conformity with expert industry guidelines, some recommendations have shown great results for laptop users. One such tip goes like this?laptop battery is best put to use after 3 cycles of ?complete charge and discharge cycle.? Carrying out this step diligently ensures that the cells inside the laptop battery are activated and ready to perform optimum charge-discharge cycle. If you have not been using the battery for over a period of 3 months than the method of ?3 cycles of complete charge and discharge cycle? is all the more important to enhance your laptop battery life, before restarting its use.
In addition, laptop with nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) based battery may have a different story altogether to tell. Overcharging is known to cut down the life of the NiMH laptop batteries, so these batteries are not to be put under extensive charging. Similar to Lithium-ion laptop battery, NiMHO laptop battery also requires the same charging method?charge and discharge 3 times before using it. Regardless of whether you own a Dell battery Laptop batteries Battery or an IBM Laptop batteries Battery, it is very important to monitor the temperature of your laptop because an over heated laptop could indicate the degrading health of your laptop battery. There are two things that a heated laptop directly hit? the effectiveness of the system and excess energy consumption. The probable cause of the rise in system temperature is the increasing resistance inside the battery. As a matter of fact, the optimum temperature of your laptop should not cross over the 25 degree Celsius benchmark.
Given below are few quick-tips to entice Acer Laptop batteries Battery owners on how to achieve best results of their computer battery.
1. Avoid using different charger for your Acer Laptop batteries Battery or Dell battery Laptop batteries Battery charging because incorporating charger with unlikely make and model could damage the internal paraphernalia of your laptop. Usually, the composition of each brand and model is different in terms of their voltage settings and connection ports.
2. Keep your laptop cool because an overheated battery has a higher chance of getting damaged. Avoid blocking the warm-air vents because these are specifically built to keep the system from heating-up. In addition, confining and packing in the laptop in carry-cases are big ?No.? Because if you do so while battery is still warm, the heat gets trapped leading to more harm than good.
3. Refrain from the habit of charging battery all the time. 100% charging in a 24/7 routine is not nec batteriesessarily the ?must-do? of your laptop battery. You can do without it and still receive the best results.
4. In case, if you want to remove the Acer laptop battery while you plan on working for hours at your desk, the recommended practice is not to store the removed battery in a fully charged or a depleted charge state. Of course, that leaves with the middle path?store the removed battery between 40-50% of full charge.
Battery back-up is the life of a laptop therefore laptop owners are often faced with the important task of learning to charge the battery in the correct manner.

Like an iPod but unlike most other mobile phones, the battery is not user-replaceable. The iPhone can be charged when connected to a computer for syncing across the included USB to dock connector cable, similar to charging an iPod. Alternatively, a USB to AC adapter (or "wall charger," also included) can be connected to the cable to charge directly from an AC outlet. A number of third party accessories (stereos, car chargers, even solar chargers) are also available. Apple runs tests on preproduction units to determine battery life. Apple's website says that the battery life "is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 400 full charge and discharge cycles", which is comparable to iPod batteries. The original iPhone's battery was stated to be capable of providing up to seven hours of video, six hours of web browsing, eight hours of talk time, 24 hours of music or up to 250 hours on standby.

Ways to Stretch Your Notebook's Battery life0

Ways to Stretch Your Notebook's Battery life
Though great gadgets, laptops quickly lose their charm when you've to continuously search for a power point to top up its battery. How can you extend your battery for a still longer time? We may suggest you 10 simple ways to do so.
a) Defragment your hard drive:
You should regularly defragment your hard drive, because a fast hard drive will exert less demand on your laptop hard drive. However you should make it a point to defrag it on regular power and not while it is on battery. Fragmentation is better handled on Mac operating systems so this may not be too applicable on Apple systems.
b) Make it a point to dim your laptop screen:
Most of the laptops have an inbuilt ability to dim the laptop screen. Many of the latest ones have software's and hardware combos to modify CPU/ cooling. You can chop them down to the lowest possible level which you can manage to save on battery power.
c) Remove the external devices on laptop:
The USB and WiFi have a drain on your laptop battery so you should remove them or shut them when they are not in use.
You should also avoid charging devices like iPod via laptop when it is operating on battery to avoid battery discharge.
D) Try adding RAM:
This will enable you to do more of processing with your laptop memory which is fast than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory
Usage results in hard drive use on which it is created and is less power efficient way.
E) Always keep the battery contacts clean:
Make it a point to clean battery's contacts which are of metal every couple of months with a cloth moist with some alcohol. This will make transfer of power from battery quite efficient.
F) Maintain your laptop battery:
You should not leave the charged battery dormant without usage for a long time. Make it a point to use the battery at least once in a week. Also take care so as not to discharge the Li-On battery completely.
G) Keep laptop on hibernation:
Though standby mode saves you some power but it is not that much which hibernate function saves. Hibernating a laptop will in reality save your laptop state as it is and it shuts down completely.
H) Tune up your power options:
You should go to the "power options" in your control panel and set the options so that power use is set to "max battery" for maximum power savings.
I) Avoid Multitasking:
Make it a point to do only one thing when on battery. Instead of say, working on PowerPoint, enabling your mail client to run silently in background and listening to MP3s will only drain your battery fast. Try to concentrate on just one thing.
J) Prevent the Memory Effect -
If the laptop you are using is too old, you may want to prevent the memory effect- that is you keep the laptop battery healthy by first fully charging it and then discharging the same once every month.
Li-Ion batteries which are now a days most laptops have do not suffer from such an effect.

Some Ways To Save Laptop Battery Power When You Really Need It Batteries0

Some Ways To Save Laptop Battery Power When You Really Need It Batteries
You've got a five-hour flight from Los Angeles to New York City, and one battery in your laptop. You've got work to do, DVDs to watch, and games to play. How are you going to get that battery to last? Well, hidden inside (and outside) your computer are lots of tricks to help you.
Dimming Your Screen
Your screen and hard drive use up more battery power than any other parts of your computer. You can dim down your screen to a point where your eyes still feel comfortable but you also save energy. On most laptops, you first dim the screen by holding down the "Fn" key (go ahead and find it because you may never have used it before). Then you look for a key on your laptop that either has a picture of a sun or a half-moon. (On my Sony Vaio that key happens to be F5.) If you find it, go ahead and hit it while still holding down the Fn key. A brightness adjustment box should show up on your screen. If you can't find a key with a sun or half-moon on it, try hitting your various arrow keys while holding down Fn, to see if that works.
Turning Off Your Screen Altogether
If dimming your screen is good for saving battery life, turning it off when you're not using it is even better. To turn off your screen, we're going to have to go into some settings in the Control Panel. You'll soon see these settings are not only good for turning off screens; they perform a whole host of battery saving functions.
Click on Start, then on Control Panel. If your Control Panel is shown in the "Category View", click first on Performance and Maintenance, then on Power Options. If your Control Panel is in Classic View, simply click on the Power Options icon. Next click on the Power Schemes Tab. Underneath where it says Running on Batteries and across from where it says Turn Off Monitor, choose how quickly you'd like your monitor to shut off when you're not actively using it.
That Power Options Properties box we just opened brings us to a whole host of other enticing options we can employ on our cross-country flight!
Choosing a Power Scheme
Windows XP offers two Power Schemes appropriate for laptops on the go. These are Portable/Laptop and Max Battery. They can both be chosen in the Power Schemes tab of the Power Options Properties box. Both power schemes conserve battery power. But Portable laptop adjusts what it conserves to the amount of power you need at the time, while Max Battery is much less flexible. It keeps your computer at a very low constant power rate no matter what you may be doing. So if you are planning on watching a DVD on that flight, which uses a lot of battery power, I don't recommend using the Max Battery power scheme. It might not give you enough power.
Each power scheme also has its own settings for when the monitor and hard disks should be turned off. Remember that both are huge energy hogs, and that both the monitor and hard disk remain on longer under Portable/Laptop than they do under Max Battery.
The power scheme you choose also determines how long the computer will wait to go into Standby mode or Hibernate after remaining idle. Standby conserves energy because it turns off your hard disk and monitor. However, whatever you were working on at the time stays in memory (RAM) instead of being saved safely to your hard drive. The upside of Standby, though, is that when you press any key your computer will come out of the mode rather quickly.
Hibernation saves even more energy because it saves your work to the hard drive and then shuts your computer down almost all the way. Inherently, of course, this means it takes the computer longer to wake up to its normal state, but when everything does come back on, it looks the same as before. To switch your computer to Standby mode manually, click on Start, then on Turn off Computer, then on Standby. To make your computer Hibernate manually, click on Start and Turn off Computer again, but this time hold down the Shift key down afterward. The Standby key switches to "Hibernate". Click it and your computer will go into Hibernation mode.
Creating Your Own Profiles
Maybe you don't like the two power saving choices Windows gives you. Maybe you want to create custom ones to suit your own needs. You can do that! I created one for "Long Plane Rides". I adjusted the settings in the Power Options Properties box. For instance, I indicated I wanted my monitor to turn off after only 2 minutes of idle time, and my hard disks after 3 minutes. Then I clicked on Save As, named my profile, and clicked OK. Now maybe the battery will last even longer on the flight.
Let's go through some other choices in the Power Options Properties box. Under the Alarm tab, you can check boxes to either be alerted when your battery is low and/or when your battery is critical. You can even use the slider to make your own determination of just what is low and what is critical. Then you can click on Alarm Action to tell your computer to, for instance, sound an alarm or go into Standby mode when those moments are reached.
Under the Advanced tab, you can choose what you want your laptop to do when you close the lid. You can choose it to go into Standby mode, Hibernation, or even do nothing if you wish. You can also choose what you'd like the computer to do when you hit the power button.
If you're interested in using your laptop's Hibernation feature you should check the box under the Hibernation tab that says Enable Hibernation.
Turn Off Wireless Network Card
Your wireless card can also be a drain on your battery's resources, so disable it if you don't need it. (You don't need it obviously on a plane, for instance.) If your laptop has a wireless card, simply take it out. If your laptop has wireless built-in, you can disable it in Windows XP by clicking on Start and going to your Control Panel. In Category View, click on Network and Internet Connections, then Network Connections. In Classic View, simply click on Network Connections. Once you're there, right click on the wireless connection you're using, and click on Disable. You can also disable your wireless network card through the Device Manager. Right click on My Computer and left click on Properties. Click on the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button. Next, click on the small black cross next to where it says Network Adapters. Locate your wireless network adapter, right click on it, and left click on Disable.
You can also left click on Properties instead (after you right click on your network adapter), click on the Power Management tab, and check the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
Some newer laptops with the Intel Mobile Pentium® chip have a button somewhere on the laptop itself, for instance on the front, to enable you to easily turn your wireless on or off. You may have to check your laptop's manual to find out if you have a button and if so, where it is.
CPU Throttling
The Intel Mobile Pentium® laptops also sport a feature known as CPU Throttling (and named SpeedStep™ by Intel), that actually slows down your processor when you're running on the battery. When you're plugged into your AC, your processor runs full speed ahead. But when you unplug that cord, it shifts into a lower gear. A processor running at a lower speed and using less voltage saves your battery even that much more juice.
So now you have a number of tools to implement in order to save your computer's precious battery power. But maybe instead on that next long distance flight, you might want to think ahead and book a seat with a power outlet.

Easy Ways To Extend Your Laptop Battery Life0

Easy Ways To Extend Your Laptop Battery Life
The unique heading of this article was going to be the lines of "Why my laptop battery life does is very short?" for the reason that exactly the query most of us ask one time our laptop battery life starts getting less and very less. It is not exceptional to find a used laptop that has a lifetime of about twenty minutes. They are essentially not anything more than a costly UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply). This badly limits the laptops portability.
The most significant aspect for increasing your laptop battery life is somewhat the majority of us not at all think about matching your laptop battery to the exact charger. According to Author, you must be confident that the charger & laptop battery match & that the charger is of high class quality. In fact, the only thing you can do to make sure this is to purchase your laptop supplies from the original manufacturer & only purchase them for your correct model.
The fact is that even a little dissimilarity in o/p voltage b/w chargers can have a big effect on the total lifetime of your laptop battery by either in excess of or less charging the battery.
You can get a low-priced charger almost anyplace, but the charger is ten millivolts, you will get a reduced amount of a charge & will not get best performance. For instance, a 4.1 volt battery charged with a 4.05 volt charger will be good for about four thousand charges. It is not an excellent idea to buy chargers & extra laptop batteries from the laptop maker, but it is best to buy these things when the time of purchasing the laptop. This will decrease the possibilities of manufacturing varies or dissimilarities within the accessories.
The other important factor of laptop battery is Temperature. It is weird but fact laptops are not really designed for laps. When you see the base of a laptop shows rubber cushions or feet, which keep it raises little bit of your surfaces it is sufficient for correct ventilation. Once that gap is disturbed (for instance, when you having it on your lap), you shut that space & the laptop is enforced to run much hotter than it should. If you doing this on a daily base then it possibly shorten the lifetime of the laptops battery. So better give some airflow to your laptop by using the laptop desk which is designed especially for your laptop.
These are the easy ways to extend your laptop batteries life.

And to think that people say astronomers have no interest in heavenly ladies.
Of course, people also seem to think that science and spirit cannot coexist in harmony. I have to do something about that one, but let's go back to the first point.
In April 2014 the Cassini spacecraft detected the ongoing creation of a new moon (a moonlet, actually) orbiting the planet Saturn. The icy object, nicknamed Peggy (for the mother-in-law of the astronomer who discovered the moon) has not been visually observed so much as noted as a slight gravitational anomaly on the edge of the planet's ring system.
Astronomers believe this is an act of birth. The object is departing its place among the rings to become a moon in its own. In more spiritual terms, Peggy is an example of ongoing creation—that this universe is not finished with itself and will continue to change and create.
In other words, any thoughts of creation being a one-time event are being scientifically debunked, while a greater universe is unveiled and embraced by the spirit.
Science has revealed that everything that ever was, is, or will be in the universe is composed of the very stuff that remains from the birth of the universe. Some folks like to call this matter "starstuff". What it means is that the earth is itself composed of starstuff, making the study and the celebration of the cosmos as relevant as seasonal changes (which are also astronomical phenomena) and moon phases.
There is no reason to keep the sacred and the scientific separate, since both continuously reveal the marvels of the universe to us. Call this the Gospel of Peggy.

Communities come together to remember 5-year-old Cady Harris
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. - Communities came together Sunday as two families remained divided.
Cady Harris, 5, died following a police chase Friday.
Charges remain to be filed but family and friends turned their attention to the little girl who got caught in the middle.
Harris just hit a major milestone in the life of a 5-year-old.
"She just started riding her bike without training wheels, she was just getting ready to start kindergarten," explained Cady's mom, Christie Harris.
Cady's mom said she and Marcus McGowan got into a fight and she called police.
"He's hurt me before, lots of times but he's never hurt her, he's never even spanked her," Harris said.
"It was all about him, him and Christie's relationship. He tried to control every aspect of everybody's life around him," said Cady's Aunt Alice Jones.
McGowan's grandmother, Norma Campbell revealed he did have issues.
"He had mental problems and he's been struggling with them for quite a while and it's been a hard road," said Campbell.
However, she doesn't believe her grandson would ever hurt Cady.
"I never thought anything would have happened to Cady, I never did. None of us ever did," Campbell said.
Since no one had been charged yet, it's left both families and the community around them feeling helpless.
Family friend Lauren Hawes said, "I think there's going to be a lot of speculation, a lot of he said, she said."
Hawes is now working to bring people together in support of the little girl who was just stuck in the middle.
"For her name and her memory to go unsaid is just unacceptable at this point. This is a little girl who quite possibly could have grown up and saved the world now there's no chance of that," said Hawes.

Stand-up comedy routines do not always translate well to audio recordings; not being able to experience nuance like the comic's facial expressions and gestures can diminish the funny. That's not a concern with Jim Gaffigan's latest CD "Obsessed" though as the comic relies on well-written jokes instead of histrionics. He also doesn't riff on topics like politics or stuff "ripped from the headlines;" he's joking about things everybody can relate to and accordingly spends a good deal of his set riffing on his favorite subject, food.
The early part of the set features Gaffigan dishing out the laughs as he talks about fruits and vegetables, Southern food and donuts and poking fun at his own weight (and the nation's) with lines like "I'm preparing for a big role … it's a cinnamon roll" and "Last night I ate a pint of ice cream … because I'm American."
Addressing the crowd's generous response, Gaffigan quips, "Hey you guys are nice. I should have showered" before launching into a routine about showers versus baths, a lampoon of the infamous Cialis commercial with the outdoor bathtubs, and men's resistance to entering a Victoria's Secret store.
Staying with the theme of obsession, Gaffigan quickly returns to talking about food with a funny routine about lobster and crabs that draws big guffaws from the audience; the bit is funny regardless but the comic customizes his zingers for this particular crowd, which happens to be assembled in seafood-loving Boston.
Public restrooms, kids and Mt. Rushmore get skewered towards the end of the show and Gaffigan even manages to make a riff on cancer funny. Gaffigan's voice is somewhat akin to that of a lovable oaf when he speaks normally but he also peppers his routine with a few recurring voices, all of which work to enhance the "I'm dumbfounded" quality of his comedy.
Also refreshing is the fact that Gaffigan is funny without trying to be shocking or gross; there's no profanity or lewdness involved here.
"Obsessed is also available as a DVD.

April 18, 2013
STANFORD, Calif. - One of the great track and field traditions in the country continues on Saturday with the 119th track and field dual meet between Stanford and California. The meet will be held at Stanford's Cobb Track and Angell Field, beginning with the women's hammer throw at 10:15 a.m., and with running events at 1 p.m. This is the only dual meet on the schedule for either team, and extends a tradition that began in 1893. Cal leads the men's series, 66-50-2, but Stanford has won the past six. For the women, Stanford leads the series, 20-11, and has won the past two.
Watch for:
Kori Carter
Career best times:
100 hurdles: 12.99
400 hurdles: 54.71
In her most recent meet, at the Jim Click Shootout in Tucson, Ariz., on April 6, Carter broke her own school record by running 54.71 in the 400-meter hurdles. It remains the fastest time in the world this year, and she achieved it by outrunning Arizona's Georganne Moline, who finished fifth in the 2012 Olympics. Carter is expected to run both hurdle races - she is the school record holder in each - and the 4x100. Carter is a seven-time All-America and the defending Pac-12 champ in the 100 hurdles. After her performance in Tucson, Carter was placed on the watch list for the Bowerman Trophy, collegiate track and field's version of the Heisman.
Steven Solomon
Career best time:
400 meters: 44.97
Solomon is the only freshman on any collegiate team in the country who can claim to be an Olympic finalist. Solomon, a 19-year-old Australian, is making his collegiate debut at the Big Meet where he is scheduled to run the 400 and the 4x400 relay. Solomon ran a personal record 44.97 in the Olympic semifinals in London to qualify seventh. He finished eighth at London, in 45.14. Solomon is a two-time Australian national champion and will compete at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow in August.
Stanford's All-Americans
• Stanford boasts 20 All-Americans among their combined men's and women's teams, including indoor and outdoor track, and cross country (11 women, nine men).
• Stanford has 10 first-team track All-Americans (six men, four women).
• The women's athlete with the most All-America honors is distance runner Kathy Kroeger, with nine. Kroeger has nine first-team honors, another team high.
• Men's athletes with the most such honors are middle distance runners Michael Atchoo and Dylan Ferris, with three apiece. Atchoo leads the men with three first-team honors, all indoor.
• Four Stanford women, but no men, have earned first-team outdoor All-America honors: Brianna Bain (javelin, 2012), Karynn Dunn (long jump, 2012), Kathy Kroeger (5,000, 2010-12), and Katie Nelms (100 hurdles, 2012).
• Two Stanford men have earned outdoor All-America honors: Dylan Ferris (1,500, 2010, 2nd team) and Spencer Chase (4x400, 2011, honorable mention).
Top 10
These Stanford athletes are among the Top 10 outdoors nationally this season:
Erik Olson, 10,000 meters (29:08.32), ninth
Kori Carter, 400 hurdles (54.71), first
Justine Fedronic, 800 (2:03.93), third
Amy Weissenbach, 1,500 (4:17.40), sixth
These Cal athletes are among the national outdoor Top 10:
Ray Stewart, 110 hurdles (13.67w), ninth
Hammed Suleman, triple jump (53-4½), second
Kelsey Santisteban, 5,000 (15:52.06), eighth
The First
This is the 119th Big Meet, but it's been 120 years since the first. The men's-only meet (the schools wouldn't hold their first women's matchup until 1980) took place on April 22, 1893 at the Olympic Club Grounds in San Francisco. Cal won 10 of the 14 events and swept five events while earning a 91-35 victory. Stanford had no coach and swept only one event - the two-mile bicycle race. Though the meet was held annually, Stanford didn't win until the 11th edition, in 1903.

Travel and experience the essence of Provence... the little hilltop villages, the markets, the people, the food, and the "joie de vivre".
Celebrate the simple things that make France so special...
Critical care nursing is my profession, but photography is my passion. Love being able to capture a moment in time and now through technology, I can share it with you. I particularly like cooking as well as travel. Especially like traveling to France and am happiest when I have a camera in my hands. I have two grown daughters, three grandbabies and live with my husband and two very spoiled pugs, Barnum and Mollie Sue.

Any business can advertise, but you will do better with a shop that friends, family or acquaintances recommend. A business has proven it can satisfy customers. It might not be the biggest or best-known shop in your area. However, I learned firsthand it not the size of the business. It the hands-on quality that they provide in the shop, which delivers a high-quality classic car with superior performance in the end result. This is what matters the most when you are getting your classic car restored.
I went to Tristate Classic Car Restoration on such recommendations and found the shop's owner to be a "real stand-up guy. He does not advertise much, it is a family-owned shop and when I went there, he gave me more than a fair price. I know it was fair because I went to several shops to get a quote and Tristate Classic Car Restoration was the most reasonable by far.
I felt very comfortable doing business with them and to me the place seemed so much more personal than other places I have been to and they take the time explain what's really going on with your car.
I brought my 69 Camaro into the shop and it needed quite a bit of restoration. The quality of work they provided was remarkable and customer service was outstanding.
My Camaro looked amazing after they completed the job. It purred like a kitten and what a smooth drive. I was never so satisfied with a service like I was with Tristate Classic Car Restoration.
I highly recommend this classic car restoration shop. I will continue to use them when needed and I will definitely recommend their services to all my friends and family. Tristate Classic Car Restoration is committed to improving classic cars and delivering consistently superior performance, meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability. I definitely give this shop FIVE STARS.

The course is organized into three units: each unit is comprised of specific themes. Throughout the semester, Eco-Reps explore topics related to sustainability including: energy, consumption, waste and recycling, industrial agriculture, food systems, greenwashing, current events in sustainability, consumption, and much more! Eco-Reps learn about these topics through dialogue with one another that is informed by weekly course readings.
One unit is four weeks long. Three weeks are devoted to reading and dialogue while the fourth week is an interaction week when Eco-Reps get involved with a campus event or project and interact with their peers. Past interactions include Guest Lectures / Talks, Trash Sort, Campus Sustainability Day, an alternate recyclables contest, an E-Waste collection, etc.
Eco-Reps also create educational material, brainstorm and talk about behavioral changes, and attend different field trips throughout the semester. It's an all-inclusive way to start getting involved with sustainability at UMass.
What sets the Eco-Rep program apart from a traditional academic course is that it is facilitated entirely by students and places a strong emphasis on peer to peer learning. This is built on the strong belief that "Human beings create, refine, and share knowledge through conversation".
Since the curricula is diverse, Eco-Rep is available to students of all education backgrounds and academic standings. We encourage participation within the first two undergraduate years for the opportunity to apply to a facilitator, fellowship, or other position beyond Eco-Rep!

"Mad Men" returns with another new episode Sunday night and after the season 7 premiere last week, fans now know were all their favorite characters are situated. Some of the characters are still working out of NYC, while others got off the plane at LAX during their between-season break and have settled in the L.A. area. The season opened with marriage troubles blatantly obvious for Megan and Don, as the Christian Post points out on April 18.
Megan went from Don's secretary to his traveling nanny for the kids and then moved into his bed, soon to become Mrs. Don Draper. She was smitten with those dashing looks, but now she's a bit bored with the never-ending search for marital bliss. Perhaps she's realized there's no such animal if your Don Draper's wife. She's pursuing her acting career as season 7 opens and she is no longer hanging all her hopes for happiness on Don. Megan's gone into acting and is just about to get her first big gig on a TV series.
Her indifference to Don is very apparent when he comes out to visit her in the house she's picked out in the Hollywood Hills. The place is a bit eerie with the sound of coyotes supplying the background music. "Mad Men" is not a show that is predictable, so everything that has been seen so far can change at the drop of a hat. One of the newest and utmost intriguing predictions of "Mad Men's" final season's story plot involves Megan mirroring the same fate as Sharon Tate.
Tate was just coming into her own with her acting when she was murdered by the Charles' Manson family back in the 60s. This is the same era that season 7 opens up with and Megan will be spending a lot of time alone in her home this season with Don back in NYC. WTOP News suggests that "Mad Men" has a conspiracy theory spawned this season that Megan Draper "is somehow a proxy for Sharon Tate."
Tate was just about nine months pregnant and married to movie director Roman Polanski when she was brutally murdered in the Hollywood Hills home invasion in 1969. Apparently it was about mid-season 6 that people started coming up with similarities between Megan's role and Sharon Tate's life story.
Both were married to older men who were important men in their chosen careers. Tate was home alone often as Roman traveled to make his movies and Megan is basically in the Hollywood Hills by herself.
Megan's pregnancy was doomed from the start and fans learn this when she confides in a neighbor Sylvia, who was also bedding down her husband, that she lost a baby. Tate had her picture taken on the set of "Rosemary's Baby" a movie popular in the late 60s that was directed by Polanski and Megan was seen wearing the same shirt that Tate wore in that picture taken on the set.
With the book and the movie "Rosemary's Baby" woven into the story line of "Mad Men," this is taken as a hint by some of the conspiracy theorists predicting Megan's story to be one in the same with Tate's. Don and Megan go and see the movie, Sally Draper reads the book and "Rosemary's Baby" is referred too often in "Mad Men." Will Megan meet the Manson family and become a victim of a horrible death now that the show is ending?
This is what some are predicting for Megan's fate. Some of the similarities feel like they are grasping at straws, when it comes to the Megan Draper-Sharon Tate story plot. With this season being the end of "Mad Men," there's not a need to smoothly blend another season into place. This means that the sky is pretty much the limit as to where they can take the characters from "Mad Men."

Located in the Channel Islands, Jersey is Great Britain's southernmost island. Just 14 miles from the coast of France, Jersey is largely autonomous from the political system of the U.K., and officials in Jersey frequently deal directly with foreign governments concerning matters affecting Jersey. As such, the island is not a formal member of the European Union, but does maintain diplomatic ties to the EU thanks to the Treaty of Accession of 1973. Although Jersey only measures 9 miles by 5 miles, the island is particularly scenic and has a thriving economy.
Much of Jersey's economy is reliant on the financial services sector. Due to its proximity to France, Jersey is an important center of trade and commerce, with 43 percent of the island's gross value-added income coming from the financial services sector. Tourism is also a strong driver of Jersey's economy, and the island remains a popular destination among British and European visitors.
Agriculture is also a key market in Jersey's economy. Great Britain imports Jersey Royal potatoes in large quantities, and regional fishing is an important area of commerce. Many restaurants and hotels in Jersey specialize in seafood dishes, which not only appeals to tourists but also helps sustain the local economy. Retail business is particularly vibrant in Jersey, as its unique taxation regulations mean that goods are not subject to value-added tax (VAT) as they are in the U.K. The island does have a goods and services tax, the rate of which is substantially lower than VAT in mainland Great Britain. Jersey also has its own currency, the Jersey pound, which is traded independently from the pound sterling.
Jersey enjoys the enviable position of being a prime destination for high net worth individuals, as the low rates of income tax are particularly appealing to many wealthy people. In addition, the island's economic independence makes Jersey an attractive option for companies seeking to maximize profits due to competitive corporate taxation laws.
Executives traveling to the island on business will find Jersey serviced apartments to be the ideal place to stay during their visit. Combining the high standards of corporate suites at chain hotels with personalized service and the comforts of home, Jersey serviced apartments are perfect for business travelers.
BridgeStreet is one of the largest serviced apartment providers in the world. We offer corporate housing in thousands of locations around the globe. An award winner both in the Americas and EMEA, we combine the best of apartment living with a variety of service packages to deliver on our promise of Serviced Apartments Made Easy™.

LAS VEGAS, NV, January 7, 2014, Press Release from CES : The 2014 International CES® opens today as a record breaking show with more than 3,200 exhibitors across the largest show floor in history – more than two million net square feet of exhibit space – breaking last year's previously set record of 1.92 million net square feet
New Intel CEO, Brian Krzanich, delivered a Tech Titans keynote address Monday evening as a pre-event evening to highlight innovation at the ingredient level. Krzanich explored how connected devices create immersive experiences that change the way we live, work and play.
Krzanich demonstrated a half-dozen products that seamlessly connect devices and people to create 'technology experiences,' all of which will become available in 2014. They are the following:
•Smart earbuds that when paired with an app on your smartphone monitor pace, location and even heart rate, using sensors built into the earbuds themselves.
•'Jarvis,' is a hands-free headset that interacts with a smartphone.
•A new smart watch that unlike others in the category requires no tethering devices, has its own connectivity and includes smart geo fencing, to track a wearer's location.
He also presented 'Wearables are a key component of Intel's vision of the connected future.' Krzanich announced several partnerships with creative industries like fashion, animation and gaming. Together with Barneys, Opening Ceremony and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Intel is working to promote wearable devices in fashion.
Another announcement was that Edison, part of Intel's Quark family of SoCs, will feature 'a full Pentium class PC in the form factor of an SD card.' This ultra-low power, 22nm Dual Core SoC can be used to power wearable devices. 'We're creating a network of devices, all smart, all coming together, all powered by Edison,' he said.
Krzanich, who took over as CEO of the world's largest semiconductor maker last May, also said the company would not produce a single chip in 2014 that uses conflict minerals and invited 'the entire industry to join us in this journey.'
Rupert Stadler, chairman of the board of management of AUDI AG, delivered a second Tech Titans keynote address Monday night to discuss the future of innovation in the automotive industry and its direct impact on the consumer technology market. Stadler envisions a future where cars drive themselves and where roads might one day guide vehicles. Helping to build that future is its partnership with Nvidia and its Tegra K1 as the processor of choice and AT&T to introduce in-car LTE in the U.S.
Audi introduced its highly anticipated Sport Quattro LaserlightV8 hybrid concept car. The vehicle can go 90 miles on a single gallon of gas and will be available in piloted driving mode. With laser headlights three times stronger than LEDs, it can light the road for nearly a third of a will be available in piloted driving mode. With laser headlights three times stronger than LEDs, it can light the road for nearly a third of a mile. Stadler emphasized the synchronization of Audi and the electronics industry debuting, 'the full spectrum of what it means to be a leader in innovation.'
Innovation and the promise and power of technology drove this year's preshow press events that kicked off with CES Unveiled LAS VEGAS on Sunday night with 99 tabletop displays where exhibitors provided a sneak preview of their show floor product launches. Twenty five exhibitors then revealed new products during CES Press Day on Monday. Owned and produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, the 2014 International CES opens today and runs through Friday, January 10.

Stash organic teas are worth your time and money, and why not? It is true that anything organic is worth your time and money, but did you even know that a mainstream tea company, such as Stash Tea, also sold organic/non genetically modified (GMO) teas? probably not, well unless you are an avid tea drinker as I am, because the mainstream grocers do not usually sell these products because the demand is so low for anything organic, especially something that is not GMO. The thinking is, if it is non GMO already, why do I have to buy the organic version, isn't that overkill?
Stash organic teas are not sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and no other chemical. Think about this, when it comes to certain foods it should be imperative that you only consume organic and let me tell you why. Such crops such as carrots are root crops, that we consume. Yes the carrots grow underground and the chemicals are sprayed above ground, however, chemicals do leach into the soil and therefore come into contact with root crops. The difference is, the contact is not as much as what is sprayed directly on the above ground parts. Now think about what you consume that is above ground and therefore fully in contact with dangerous chemicals sprayed on them.
Tea is one of those above ground parts. Now, if you understand anything about heat transfer and chemicals and leaching and such you should cringe at the thought of taking something, such as tea leaves, sprayed with chemicals and then infusing those leaves in boiling water for you and your family to drink! Talk about chemical induced water. So yes, it is imperative to purchase and consume organic teas over the mainstream stuff. Being organic, as these Stash Teas are, you also know that you are protected from GMOs such as soy lecithin that can be found in many non-organic teas.
For this I give Stash organic teas, 5 stars. I also give them a five star rating on their flavor and quality because, unlike some companies, they use good ingredients to make their mixes such as their Very Berry herbal tea. This tea I give a separate rating of 5 stars simply because I decided, after a warm brew, to take 8 of those tea bags and brew them into a gallon of iced tea. I can honestly say, the Very Berry blend tastes better cold and exquisite comes to mind! We are talking a very wonderful summer tea for your loved ones and I guarantee that the kids will flip over its taste. I found myself trying NOT to drink the whole gallon alone.
From organic Orange Chocolate to Cascade Mint to Lavender Tulsi (basil), there is much to be revered here. The Cascade Mint is splendid when it comes to most all digestive problems. My mother, one that believes only what she experiences herself, complained of a tummy ache after a less than healthy meal, was given this warm tea and soon after had no more complaints. The Orange Chocolate is a very good blend from which you can taste both flavors and neither tastes like false ingredients. So if you are searching for some good quality organic teas, Stash Tea might be a good choice, it was for me.
