Steeping Instructions:
Western-style steeping:
(Medium to large sized teapot: 20-32 oz)
Use 1.25 Tablespoons (2-3 grams) of tea per each 6oz water
Rinse the tea in your teapot with a quick application of hot water
Immediately discard this liquid
Add additional hot water to start the 1st steeping
Re-steep 2-3 infusions at 2-3 minutes each.
Water temperature should be 195° - 205° F
Asian-style steeping:
(small teapots under 10 oz or a gaiwan)
Use 2.5 Tablespoons (5-6 grams) of tea per each 6oz water
Rinse the tea in your teapot with a quick application of hot water
Immediately discard this liquid
Add additional hot water to start the 1st steeping
Re-steep 6-8 infusions (or more!) at 10 seconds to 1 minute each
Water temperature should be 195° - 205° F
Da Hong Pao is the most famous of the celebrated varieties of yan cha. Da Hong Pao oolong was an imperial favorite during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and today it is still renowned throughout China for its deep, rich flavor. Four ancient Da Hong Pao tea bushes still grow in an outcropping that is located alongside a steep cliff wall in the Wu Yi Shan. But leaf from these bushes is not plucked for commercial sale - Da Hong Pao for sale today is plucked from tea bushes that are the cultivated offspring of reputable old tea bushes.
Our vintage Da Hong Pao is unique because of the time it has spent maturing in perfect storage conditions. Similar to the benefits of long term aging that sheng Pu-erh tea enjoys, certain oolongs benefit from 'resting ' or 'maturing' (provided the conditions are conducive to improving the taste of the tea). Putting certain teas away to rest and age is not a concept that is talked about much in the West - in fact, the idea of aging tea is virtually unknown here. But Asian tea enthusiasts will often select an aged tea - when possible - for the complex and rewarding taste that it will offer.
An exciting, different "lot" arrived on May 27th so see whether or not you can taste the very subtle, minor flavor change from our former offering...
This Da Hong Pao is extremely complex and each infusion brings a new dimension of flavor to the fore. The floral nature of this tea is not cloying; in fact, the stony backbone of this tea tempers its sweetness perfectly. This Da Hong Pao is full and rich and without astringency. It is drinking very well now and will continue to do so for several years.
- Oolongs are traditionally 'rinsed' before being steeped.
- This is done with a quick application of hot water that is poured over the tea in the gaiwan or teapot and then immediately discarded.
- The rinse water is not drunk - its purpose is to help the leaves begin to open during steeping.
- Use additional appropriately-heated water for the 1st steeping and subsequent re-steepings.
- Oolongs exemplify the concept that some teas can be re-steeped multiple times and yield an incredible volume of drinkable tea.
- This idea works best when the leaf is steeped in a small vessel, but it also works using a large teapot
- Please refer to our steeping instructions for details

Online course control in education
Website management tools improve communication
Integration and simplification top wish lists when it comes to website management tools. Administrators want tools to connect easily and effectively with parents and students as the variety of programs, platforms and devices grows.
Portfolios hold new promise for schools
Decades ago, portfolio assessment meant finding room for bulging binders stuffed with paper. But digital technologies that make it far easier to collect, curate, share and store student work have dismantled the physical barriers that once made portfolio assessment daunting.

YNHC Project Description
Welcome to the Youth Network for
Healthy Communities (YNHC) project!
The goal of the YNHC project is to train middle and high school teachers to help students research environmental health issues in their local communities, and to then share their findings with peers and professionals.
Teachers from any discipline may choose to have their class(es) participate in the project. Once a teacher decides to become involved, they register with Dianne Botta at the University of Washington (see registration page). Before the start of their chosen session, they will recieve a teacher's guide for the project.
Each session begins with participating teachers (and students if possible) recieving one hour of training about the project and about videoconferencing. This training is conducted via a one-hour videoconference.
After the training, the students involved choose and research an environmental health issue in their community. (See student project guidelines) There are from four to six weeks allowed to complete the research and make ready a presentation of the findings.
Student groups then present their research results during a videoconference attended by the other participating classes and a panel of university scientists and/or other environmental health professionals.
Teachers and students complete evaluation forms after the videoconference to send to Dianne Botta at the University of Washington and these are used for future planning for the project.

Though [artist id="1090″]Janet Jackson[/artist] had not performed the choreography from "Scream" since she and her brother [artist id="1102″]Michael[/artist] shot the video in 1995, it couldn't have been a more fitting tribute to him. Jackson talked about the making of that video along with how she prepared for the Video Music Awards in the half-hour special "The Making of Janet Jackson's VMA Tribute Performance," which aired Saturday (September 19), and re-airs Sunday at 12:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., and Tuesday at 7 p.m. on MTV.
According to Janet, "Scream" was a turning point for Michael, who used the video to express frustration over his legal troubles. " 'Scream,' there was so much going on at that time," Jackson recalled. "That's when the — I hate to say this but — the first allegations [of child molestation] came out and the whole bit. He was very upset and very angry and he had so much pent up in him that he wanted to get out and say. And when you listen to the lyrics, that's what it's about."
When Michael asked Janet for her help with the song, there was no way she could say no. "I played the role that I've always played in his life: his little sister that was there by his side, that had his back no matter what," she said. "That's what 'Scream' was for me."
The MTV special followed Janet as she relearned the intricate choreography for the VMA tribute along with her backup dancers , a crew of renowned choreographers including Tyce Diorio, Tina Landon, Jeri Slaughter, Travis Payne, Brian Friedman, Cris Judd, Dave Scott, Mia Michaels, Laurie Ann Gibson and Wade Robson.
Sore muscles aside, the group couldn't have been happier to get the chance to honor the man who inspired their own careers.
"As soon as I got the phone call I was absolutely thrilled and on board 110 percent," Slaughter said. "It's an honor to be in this for Michael."
After costume fittings, a cross-country flight to New York and a final run-through in Radio City Music Hall, Janet and company mounted the stage to a standing ovation, performing alongside images of Michael from the 1995 video.
"I know he was watching," Jackson said. "I know he was looking down. I hope he enjoyed it."
"The Making of Janet Jackson's VMA Tribute Performance" re-airs Sunday at 12:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., and Tuesday at 7 p.m. on MTV.

Morgaus – Those fairies will pay… now I have to do this spell and everything is going to be PERFECT! And when I have made all my army I'm going to destroy everything including Alfea so the Delix can't get help.
Suddenly a massage appeared in front of the pot in which Morgaus was making the spell.
Darkia – Morgaus, you must stop all of this.
Morgaus – Oh look who is this witch, I thought you were at Lugiar, now that you are the good one.
Darkia – No! I'm evil but at least I know when I am defeated so stop all of this before it's too late.
Morgaus – No! I will destroy the fairies that killed Mordred.
Darkia – You will not, I'm going to help them to defeat you witch.

Morgaus made a big army that attacked Alfea and the fairies, but before she was going to destroy the Delix, something magical happened making them stronger.
Altair – Morgaus, I have to tell you something… We are friends and we are stronger when we are together.
Morgaus – Not this time, this army was made with all the essence of darkness so you can destroy them with that powers you have.
Claudine – Maybe, but at least we can send them to the Omega dimension.
Morgaus – No!
Aria – Well, you don't have anywhere to run or hide.
Morgaus – And why do I need to hide, I want to destroy all of you.
Perla – Oh girl! We always win, Darkia… Mordred… you are the only one left.
Morgaus – No!
The monsters started to attack the Delix; some of them continue their way to Alfea so Perla and Altair ran after them to stop them before they enter to Alfea.

Claudine – The Air is so frosty.
Altair – I can't feel my hands.
Fabia – Come on girls! It's amazing this weather.

Great article from Technology Review (MIT) on Apple Design
(free registration required).
Through much of 1982 and into early 1983, Jobs searched for a sympathetic
design partner; he finally found one in Hartmut Esslinger of Frog Design.
Together, the two companies developed the "Snow White" design language that
was meant to give Apple's products a coherent visual vocabulary, the
appearance of being related.
That vocabulary featured, among other things, lines two millimeters wide and
deep, spaced 10 millimeters apart, to suggest precision. (Some of the
grooves were functional, acting as vents for airflow.) Case corners were
rounded, but to differing degrees: if the curve at the back of a computer
had a three-millimeter radius, the one at the front had a two-millimeter
radius, reducing the machine's perceived size. In addition, the rounded
corners and lines echoed distinctive features of the Mac user interface of
the time: rounded screen corners and horizontal lines in the grab bars of
Declaring the importance of industrial design may have at first been a
purely emotional decision for Jobs, or he may have had some sense of
design's subconscious importance to customers. Either way, those interviewed
for this article say the emphasis on design was there at Apple's inception,
and it was there because of Jobs.
That emphasis did persist in Jobs's absence. But the company's design
process was different, explains Don Norman, who was vice president of
advanced technology at Apple from 1993 to 1998. Norman, who now teaches
product design at Northwestern University's Institute for Design Engineering
and Applications and serves as a principal at the Nielsen Norman Group, a
consultancy that focuses on "the human-centered product development
process," led Apple teams that developed new technologies and helped develop
the company's process for product design.
"There were three evaluations required at the inception of a product idea: a
marketing requirement document, an engineering requirement document, and a
user-experience document," Norman recalls. Rolston elaborates: "Marketing
is what people want; engineering is what we can do; user experience is
'Here's how people like to do things.'"
Wow, I'd love to get a look at a sample of those documents!
Lots of nice little things in the article - plus you can download an MP3 of
the story.
Also, there is a link to an interesting video by Bruce Sterling speaking
about 'Hostile Objects':

Matheson is an appellate law specialist in Satellite Beach, Fla., where she lives with her husband, Gerald. Recently, she started her own law firm, Matheson Appellate Law, P.A., a career move that evolved after growing frustrated with teaching.
The oldest of 10 children, Matheson did not feel graduate school was an economic option after earning a degree from Cabrini. She went on to teach English, "because it was what I knew and loved," she says.
Matheson carved out a fulfilling career as an educator, but grew restless after 15 years. "I became weary of the school system and decided to make a change," Matheson says.
She enrolled at University of Florida College of Law.
"At the time," she says, "I knew nothing about the practice of law. Luckily, I discovered the analytic skills and scholarly disciplines I developed as an English major at Cabrini were perfect for an appellate lawyer."
In law school, Matheson served as senior research editor for the Florida Law Review and was chosen as a fellowship instructor to teach legal research and writing to law students. She received a Juris Doctor in 1987.
"What I love most about my job is the constant challenge," she says. "And, contrary to common perception, lawyers do occasionally get to help people."
Matheson has dedicated her time outside of the law firm to legal organizations, including the Vassar B. Carlton American Inn of Court; the Florida Bar Journal and Florida Bar News Editorial Board; and the A. Max Brewer Memorial Law Library, where she served on the Board of Trustees.
Though her schedule is demanding, Matheson remains connected with Cabrini. She served on the Alumni Board in 2006, and was elected to the Board of Trustees in May 2007.
"I was enormously inspired to work with the wonderful alums of all ages who work so hard for Cabrini," Matheson says. "It is quite moving to hear that each decade has produced alums who cherish Cabrini as I do."

NEW: Governor Announces Budget Amendments
HARRISONBURG — Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced more than 100 budget amendments for the General Assembly to consider on Monday, including a two-year pilot program to expand Medicaid.
Senators and delegates have returned to Richmond for a special session to reach a deal on a $96 billion, two-year spending plan. They have yet to agree on how to handle Medicaid: House Republicans want a budget deal separate from expansion talk, while the Senate wants to expand health insurance to up to 400,000 Virginians.
The governor's pilot proposal "gives Virginia the flexibility to ensure that the program works for our citizens and our budget before moving forward," McAuliffe said in a press release.
Other budget highlights include a 2 percent raise for state employees and teachers and $17 million in additional funding for the Line of Duty Act, which covers benefits for public safety employees killed or injured on the job.

MEDINA — The Cleveland Clinic and U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach are calling on state lawmakers to pass legislation aimed at the heroin crisis in Northeast Ohio.
The legislation is part of larger community action plan released Friday by the U.S. Attorney's Office — Northern District of Ohio, in Cleveland.
The plan was developed after a forum last month that brought together more than 600 law enforcement officials, judges, social workers, medical professionals and families of those affected by heroin addiction.
At the forum, Dr. Delos Cosgrove, president and CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, said the hospital gets about 25 calls each day for help with opiate addiction. The hospital system admits four to five new patients each day asking for treatment for addiction.
Dettelbach said the dramatic increase in heroin use isn't just a law enforcement challenge. It has resulted in a health crisis.
Cuyahoga County is on track to reach 200 heroin-related deaths this year, a 400 percent increase from 40 deaths in 2007.
Heroin-related deaths have risen in Medina County each of the last four years.
"Medina County's heroin deaths are increasing just like everywhere else in Northeast Ohio," said Gary Hubbard, director of the Medina County Drug Task Force.
So far this year there have been 13 heroin-related deaths and 10 more deaths are under investigation in the county.
Hubbard said 16 percent of his cases this year involved heroin abuse and another 38 percent dealt with prescription drug abuse.
"People left heroin to go to other drugs. Now law enforcement and health care providers are cracking down and people are now leaving those opiates and going back to heroin because it is easier to get," he said.
The legislation cited in the community action plan would provide more tools for dealing with health-related problems cause by heroin use:
• House Bill 170 would put Narcan, a drug that reverses the affects of an opiate overdose in only a few minutes, into the hands of law enforcement officials — not just paramedics.
• House Bill 92 would establish syringe exchange programs throughout the state allowing drug users to safely dispose of used syringes, aiding in the prevention of hepatitis C and HIV.
• A call for the drafting and passage of a Good Samaritan Law by the end of 2014 that would protect people who report overdoses to authorities.
• Stricter regulations for the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System that include limits on the amount and frequency prescriptions are prescribed and refilled.
• Strengthening the Ohio Opioids and Other Controlled Substances guidelines by adopting uniform rules for Emergency Departments when dealing with chronic benign pain management.
The action plan targets four specific areas: prevention and education, health care policy, law enforcement and treatment.
The plan calls for educating people on the dangers of not only black-market heroin abuse but prescription opiate and benzodiazepine abuse by instituting curriculum into existing health programs at the middle- and high-school levels.
Law enforcement officials also are pushing for harsher penalties for the people supplying heroin.
New protocols would hold drug traffickers responsible for overdose-related deaths and would include charges of manslaughter where appropriate.

What are the skills business leaders need to have in the 21st century business landscape? A push and the know-how to innovate. Experience grounded in the real-world practice of business. Day-to-day operational knowledge. Everything you learn in the SMU business department.
A great business education is about making things happen. We know exactly what you mean. It's what we do. It's why our students regularly push their big ideas as far into the real world as they can. And why they constantly push themselves to apply their learning as much in real-world situations—toward resolving real-world problems and achieving real-world results—as they can.
Of course, it helps to be surrounded by hands-on learning opportunities. And those are the kind of opportunities we pride ourselves in helping students find. It's who we are…an entire community of professionals dedicated to finding innovative ways to integrate values-based classroom learning with practical course work, applications, and experiences at every step.
To be a business student at Saint Mary's is to:
Dynamic teachers or experienced professionals? You refuse to choose. Because you refuse to compromise when it comes to choosing the business school that fits you best. Welcome to the SMU Department of Business. Thanks to both the quality of our faculty and our small class sizes, here you'll learn from, be mentored by, and collaborate closely with professors who are renowned scholars and innovative business leaders, extraordinary teachers, and ethical practitioners.
It's easy to graduate with a competitive edge when…
Take a look at the accomplishments of our faculty…and you'll discover why our graduates find so much success. Whether within the classroom, in conversations across campus, or on faculty-led field trips across the region and beyond, you'll benefit from their passion for teaching, their understanding of how business really works, and their professional connections in their fields.
Looking for innovative programs? From entrepreneurship, to sports management, to accounting, human resource management, international business, and marketing, you'll find them here. It's a big part of why our B.A. program is accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE), a leading professional accrediting organization for business programs in student-centered colleges and universities worldwide.
You'll also find innovative opportunities to increase your marketability once you graduate—like the option to double major in two business areas of the six we offer, a variety of minors, even pre-professional program options. Oh, and such innovative technologies as Tegrity, which automatically captures, stores, and indexes every class on campus so you may replay key class moments online or on your iPod or mobile device.
In search of a rock-solid foundation in business? We're a good fit. In fact, our challenging curriculum, combined with our Lasallian Catholic heritage, enables us to powerfully tie together classroom learning and practical real-world experiences with an emphasis on ethical leadership and service. Our core curriculum ensures you develop all the critical business skills you need in such areas as accounting, marketing, management, economics, finance, finite mathematics, business law, and the international business environment. But simultaneously, we also ensure you develop the critical life skills you require to succeed: analytical and quantitative decision-making skills, qualitative decision-making skills, written and oral communication skills, and human interaction skills.
The result? A powerful, well-rounded foundation which not only positions you perfectly for tomorrow's complex, rapidly changing world of business, but also prepares you for an ethical, meaningful life.
Our graduates are highly sought after by employers across the region and nationwide. After all, from a rigorous all-round foundation in business, to the specialized skills they gain from our outstanding majors and programs, to the numerous internships, service, and other hands-on professional and leadership experiences they list on their résumés, our students graduate well-equipped to succeed within their fields and professions. It's why they shape successful careers with such organizations as the Chicago Board of Trade, IBM, US Bancorp, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, and Target, among others. Or apply successfully to highly selective M.B.A. and other graduate programs across the nation.
But SMU is about more than a rewarding career. After all, today's global society demands professionals who're both ethical leaders and effective decision makers. Talk to some of our many graduates busy transforming their organizations and communities. You'll discover that a deep commitment to ethics and service-minded leadership…a global worldview…an openness to seizing every exciting possibility that tomorrow offers to make a difference in the world…are the qualities they share in common.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bchapps Hotel Furniture Look alike Purchased this dining set for my patio after spending a month in Europe and seeing this furniture in every hotel I stayed at. LOVE IT. The quality, comfort, and size cannot be beat. Table is great though need place mats to avoid scratching the glass. Chairs are so comfortable there is no need to spend the money on cushions.

Rated 2 out of 5 by jfairbai Great table, but glass discolors within a year. I purchased this table, as well as other Palermo tables, all with the tinted glass top.The quality and workmanship for these items is outstanding. However, the glass tops began to discolor, (turn white) around the edges and proceeded to expand toward the middle of the glass over time. Very disappointing. Frontgate did replace one table under warranty, (they would not ship just the glass), but not sure if they will replace the others which are no longer under warranty. The only possible cause I can think of is a reaction by the tint to direct sunlight. Do not purchase if you can't deal with the discoloration. January 22, 2015

I am wondering if there is enough room between the table legs to accommodate 3 side chairs comfortably - not squished in with only an inch between the chairs. Can you give me the dimension between the legs - perhaps at the smallest part right under the table top? Thank you!

Make no bones make about it, this small Northern Utah town is unique. Located east of the Wasatch and south of the Uinta Mountains, the surrounding Colorado Plateau stretches for miles and is a gold mine for paleontologists.
Perhaps Vernal has never been on your radar. Granted there are more flashy destinations, but this corner of the state is definitely worth the drive. Delve into Utah's natural history and discover Dinosaur Country. On the doorstep of Flaming Gorge and Dinosaur National Monument, Vernal is a good base for exploring the area before camping weather arrives.
The Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum quite possibly has the longest name of any state park in the US. Opened in 2004, the exhibits help visitors get the lay of the land. Murals, fossils, movies, and a dig site, put a real time spin on what went on in the Uintah Basin 200 million years ago. After wandering past dioramas, life scaled models of ancient beasts await you in the garden.
The whole town of Vernal is dino-mad. Children and adults will enjoy playing 'spot the dinosaur' while driving through town. Green and pink replicas wave, encouraging travelers to eat, sleep, swim, fill up the car, spend the night and get an oil change.
The War Memorial at the County Court House has monuments to World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. A US Army helicopter, sporting a shark toothed smile, stands guard. On the same block is the brand new Uintah County library. The glass and steel structure is a great place for free Wi-Fi if needed.
Perhaps the most interesting building in town is the historic Bank of Vernal, now a branch of Zions Bank. Nicknamed the 'Parcel Post' building, it was erected in 1917 from bricks that were mailed to Vernal from Salt Lake City. After the final shipment was made, the US Postal Service changed its regulations, limiting the weight a sender could mail each day.
Skirting the Uinta Range and heading north, a scenic drive takes you to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Fed by the Green River, this 91-mile-long lake provides a reprieve from the surrounding geologic wonders. Heading east brings you to Dinosaur National Monument, filled with fossils, even an amateur admirer of dinosaurs will be thrilled to the hunt, searching for hints of bone buried in cliff. Petroglyphs and homesteads are reminders of human habitation in the recent past. Here the Green River cascades through numerous rapids making it a river runners' dream.
A weekend in small town Vernal may encourage you to return for further exploration. Hiking, camping, fishing, and fossil hunting will keep the whole family busy for days.

Every year, 20 million babies are born too soon, too small and very sick ― half a million of them in the United States. November 17 is when we fight.
I am a big advocate of the March of Dimes and premature birth awareness. I had two preemies myself; one born at 32 weeks and one a 27 weeks. Today I am telling my youngest son Trent's story.
After my first preemie and very complicated pregnancy the Dr. told me I only had a 10% chance of having the same complications the second time around. The complications I had with my first pregnancy were high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia. So, when my older son Ethan was 20 months old I became pregnant. I was nervous as any pregnant woman is but I thought things would be better since that is what the Dr. had told me. The first 20 weeks of my pregnancy were uneventful except for the occasional protein in my urine but I was taking blood pressure meds to control my blood pressure. At 21 weeks they started noticing that my blood pressure was getting higher even with the medication. At that time I started seeing a perinatologist (high risk pregnancy Dr.) who started giving me weekly ultrasounds. From 21 weeks through the 24th week things were okay. Not perfect but tolerable. At 25 weeks she started noticing that the baby was not growing and thriving like he should. So I was admitted to the hospital on very strict bedrest. I spent 11 days in the hospital and then was allowed to go home. At that time I was having ultrasounds every Monday and Thursday. At 27 weeks on a Monday I went for my regular ultrasound. It was ok but my baby still wasn't thriving and was measuring small for gestation. They sent me home on bedrest and I was to come back on Thursday for another ultrasound. I went back on Thursday and it was determined that my son's condition was deteriorating and that I needed to deliver with 24 hours. I was scared.to.death! My Dr. was scheduled to leave for a two week vacation that next day so I wouldn't have her by my side.
At 27 weeks 5 days gestation Trenton was born by emergency c-section. He weighed 1 pound and 11 ounces and was 12 inches long. His apgar score was a 1 and he couldn't breathe on his own. Here is a picture of him on the day that he was born.
Trenton spent 86 long days in the NICU. I couldn't hold him for the first several weeks because he was just too fragile. The hospital was 40 minutes away from my house and I had a two year old at home. My husband had to work and I needed help so my mother (God love her) took family medical leave from her job to come and take care of my older son so I could be at the hospital with Trent. Those three months were the longest three months of my entire life. I missed out on that special time with my older son Ethan and I still couldn't bring my precious baby home. There were many touch and go situations while Trent was in the NICU. He had two blood transfusions and many very scary situations. He came home the day after his due date on June 13, 2004. He weighed just over 5 lbs. when he came home.
They sent me home with a huge oxygen tank and he had to have oxygen for over a month at home. It was scary. I felt like I had let him down as a mother. I felt like my body had let me and him both down. I fell into a depression that thankfully with a lot of prayer I was able to come out of. Trenton had to have several therapists in every week to help with his growth and development. This went on until he was 18 months old. He also had eye surgery to correct some muscle development problems but other than that there have been no major hospitalizations since.
Now at five years old Trent is a healthy, happy little boy. The only effects from the prematurity that he has is that he wears glasses and he is behind in his learning. He is a sweet heart and brings joy to my life every single day. I am so thankful to God that he is here with me and healthy.
I would like to say a special thank you to the doctors and nurses at Deaconess Women's Hospital for the care and compassion that they showed to my family during this diffficult time. You are angels!

Singer-songwriter Carsie Blanton's new album, "Not Old, Not New", out on June 24, is her first jazz album and her first cover album. She has been inspired by jazz singers like Billie Holiday and later Nina Simone since she was a kid. Does she consider herself a jazz singer, though? "This is an expression of my love of song. It's not about jazz or pop or rap, it's about a good song. And there are good songs in every genre. I'm gonna go where the songs go." Blanton is first a lover of song; not just music, but words. Her inspirations extend beyond musicians. The heart-on-the-sleeve, restless soul of her lyrics is inspired by, among others, novelist Carson McCullers and her favorite poem "DaCapo" by Jane Hirshfield.
Blanton grew up immersed in music. Growing up in rural Virginia, she was allowed by her unschooling parents to explore what interested her. By 13, Blanton was writing and performing her own music and exploring albums by Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone, and Billie Holiday, her first inspiration. By 16, she left home, ending up in Philadelphia at 21, where she decided to get serious about her music career. She eventually hooked up with the manager of singer-songwriter Amos Lee who got her on tour with Paul Simon. "It was a great honor and really cool playing in those big theaters and getting to meet Paul. It was a really formative experience" says Blanton. "I think that's what I stumbled into when I started playing professionally. I met a lot of really great, talented people"
Blanton is definitely a musician of her own time. She self-produced all of her albums, but not because she hasn't been approached by labels. "I've been approached by a couple of small labels, but they haven't been able to convince me they can do more than I do". She's used to the way the music industry is now; used to hustling, getting her music out there. "When I make something, I really want to share it" she says of the time she spends promoting herself. She is an example of what a successful modern musician is doing in such an open, technology-heavy environment. She knows how to get her music out, but she has also been successful in not letting the marketing of her art take away from creating the art itself.
In addition to self-producing, Blanton has the chutzpah to run a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Her campaign to raise money for "Not Old, Not New" made twice what she had originally set out to make. "It was like a full-time job. I got twice as much as I asked for. I ran a really active campaign. The night before I launched it, I couldn't sleep. I was having panic attacks. I hit my goal in the first week" said Blanton. Despite the nerves, though, she ran a very successful campaign. "Honestly, I was really thrilled that I got to pay these musicians what I think they're actually worth, as opposed to trying to haggle with everybody because I can't afford them," she said on her website.
Blanton's unorthodox views don't end with marketing her work, but also with giving. She sells all her albums via Pay What You Please on Bandcamp. She started out at live shows. Some people would pay eight dollars, some $25-$30. "I don't think not having money should be a barrier to listening to music...Now I sell all my music like that. I make about what I made before, a little less. But it's totally worth it. It's almost like because I trust people, they want to support me." Blanton frames it around the idea that people can distribute her music freely, that she is building trust and mutual appreciation with her audience. A fan once came up to her at a show and gave her money, saying they had burned a copy for a friend.
The summer will be a busy time for Carsie Blanton. "Not Old, Not New" is out on June 24, and she's in the middle of a 6-week tour of the United States. After 38 shows in 45 days in the states, she'll be touring in Australia. "The advantage of doing a cover album is I have a lot of time to write." She'll probably start working on her next album this coming fall.

I knew I would need a section of pipe to use the band-mount on the taillight on my Bontrager rack, so first I bought a piece of PVC. Then I trekked over to electrical and got conduit clamps, #2 size. Followed that with some plastic-dip for the 900 battery.
My rack had a piece of stamped U s haped metal under the rack for a reflector. It had already broken and had been removed, and would have been useless anyway. I decided to use the two conduit clamps, one attached to each side of where the reflector holder had been attached. Bridging them, a short piece of the PVC pipe. Ugly, but my commuter is a beater Fuji Newest 3.0 frame with a mix of MTB and road bits which would not win a beauty contest anyway. I don't want to dump the Bontrager rack because I otherwise like it, as it is lighter than the Topeak, and I have the cool QR trunk, and plan to buy the basket they make at some point.
While looking at the smooth pipe and thinking of the best way to keep the light from rotating down, I thought- why not plastic-dip it to give the mount something to grip, and tied some thick string around it first, both to hang, and to create an extra bumpy rough spot for the lightmount to grab. Also dipped the two clamps.
The light does not move on that plasticdip surface with the string bumps underneath. Yea! I then took the whole thing outside and turned it towards the sun, turned it on and stepped back. That is visible in daylight for sure! Now I know I will need two more heads and a Y for the sides, so I can get rid of those Sefras blinkies you see on the seatstays in my second pix. Well, I hope this helps others here who plan to use this light on their commute and don't have a chunk of visible seatpost. My only worry is of the PVC breaking, even though it is quite thick, but if it does, I'll use a piece of aluminum pipe. I may yet do that anyway.

TCC Nearly Doubles Minority Enrollment in 10 Years
Tulsa Community College has nearly doubled the number of minority students enrolled in the past 10 years with one in three TCC students identifying themselves as a minority. TCC had 28,545 students enrolled during the 2012-2013 academic year of which 10,049 students were minority or 35.2 percent of the student population.

TCC holds three annual events that have been instrumental in helping the College achieve greater student diversity: Day of Vision (fall), TCC/NAACP Youth Helping Youth Seminar (spring), and Hispanic Student Luncheon and Career/College Fair (spring).

Geography plays a big part in why we don't have the devastating tornadoes found in Midwest
May 30, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 6
Those who live in the Northwest, especially the inland portion, will often tell you how they feel fortunate not to have to deal with many of the phenomenon's Mother Nature deals out in the form of hurricanes, ice storms and of course tornadoes.
The latter of course recently has come to the forefront following the deadly events in Moore, Okla. where an F5 twister cut a miles-long swath through the Oklahoma City suburb, killing 24, injuring 300 with damage claims that could hit $5 billion according to some estimates.
While rare, the Northwest is not immune.
"Tornadoes are a worldwide phe...

In Paris, France, it's not unusual to see custom tours beginning at $380 per half day and $775 per full day for up to five guests. Themed tours — naughty or not — could be a great way to fund your own trip overseas.

4. Big Gaps in Colombia's New Tourism Market
Thanks to decades of bad publicity, Colombia is just starting to emerge as a tourist destination. In 2009, it boasted Latin America's strongest growth in tourist arrivals. So what's lacking? English-language websites, for one thing. An English-speaking tour operator or aggregator with some marketing skills could do well here.
The World Bank reports that starting a business in a small town in Colombia is easier than in a big city. Our advice: look at Santa Marta on the Caribbean coast and Villa de Leyva near Bogota. Near Medellin, check out Santa Fe de Antioquia and the lakeside towns of Guatape and El Penol.
According to Attorney Alberto Marenco in Cartagena, it's very easy to start a business in Colombia. "No special permission is required. Simply ask for a business visa at the Colombian Consulate in your country.
"Once in Colombia, your passport along with your business visa is all you need to create an association, company, open a bank account, or engage in any kind of business. Repatriating money is easy. Colombia has many international banks which can send your money to wherever you designate."

5. Nicaragua Says "We Need More Hotels"
There may be no better place to start a business right now than Nicaragua. Incentives include attractive income tax and property tax exemptions, exoneration from import duties on vehicles, exemption from sales tax on the purchase of equipment and construction materials, and more. Several laws have been passed to encourage investment tourism and renewable-energy businesses, and export-oriented industries, including light manufacturing, agribusiness and contact centers. For more information, see www.pronicaragua.org.
Last June, Tourism Minister Mario Salinas said the country is in dire need of more hotel rooms. Nicaragua has just 7,800 rooms and can use four times that number.
Tourism is booming. According to data from the Central American Tourism Integration Secretariat (SITCA), Nicaragua was the only country in Central America that registered positive growth in both tourism arrivals and tourism revenues in 2009.
Where in Nicaragua should you settle? For a tourism business, try the colonial city of Granada on the shores of Lake Nicaragua—the country's top tourist destination—or San Juan del Sur on the southern Pacific Coast. The television show Survivor has shined a bright spotlight on this pretty beach town.

6. Open Your Own Bar on the Spanish Coast
I asked my Facebook friends what kind of overseas business they'd most like to run. The answer I heard most often was: "a bar."
With the crisis in the Spanish property market, the price of businesses has also taken a tumble in Spain. Many people who took out second loans found themselves over-stretched. But the thing is, Europeans are still flocking to places like the Costa del Sol for vacations. And they have to eat and drink.
$251,000 buys a freehold bar and a 1,182-square-foot apartment in historic Ronda. The property is one of only two houses attached to the two existing turrets of the original Moorish castle walls, so plenty of tourists pass by.
Underneath the apartment, the bar opens onto an enclosed patio that's actually within the original castle wall.
Leasehold bars with studio accommodation can be had for as little as $33,500. That's what one on the front-line to the beach in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol recently changed hands for. It was a 10-year renewable lease with a monthly rent of $1,548. But rent for backstreet bars can often be a third of that. For more information, see: www.spanishbars.com.

On March 17, 2014, Glenn Beck, fresh off of a week's vacation, finally got around to commenting on the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines' flight MH370.
As you have undoubtedly already guessed, Beck smells a conspiracy.
Beck began by seizing upon reports that twenty employees from a company called Freescale Semiconductor were on board. According to Beck, these employees had the technology and expertise to "cloak" the plane and make it invisible to radar and detection.
Beck further speculated that the jetliner was likely diverted to Pakistan or some place like it, where is could be hidden and repainted to look like a British Airways jet and then flow over the Atlantic Ocean low enough so as not to be seen by radar right below another British Airways jet, flying on the same path but at a much higher altitude and registering on radar.
At some point, and without explaining how this would even be possible, Beck speculated that the real British Airways jet could then be blown out of the sky, allowing the stolen plane to "jump up" onto that flight path and cloak itself as the now destroyed jet and fly on to Washington, DC without raising any suspicions or setting off alarms.
It's such a ridiculous conspiracy theory that even Glenn Beck himself acknowledges it as such. But it's entirely the government's fault if anyone is willing to believe it.
"See, this is the problem," said Beck. "Once you lose trust as a government, once you lie to your people over and over again, this is what happens; conspiracy theories go crazy because I don't trust our government at all."
Clearly, Beck failed to recognize that, with this statement, he had pretty much flat out admitted that everything he has ever said in his entire career is utter nonsense; that he either has such a childish resentment for all things government that he would rather will himself to believe in ridiculous conspiracy theories than ever agree with a government report on even the most obvious of things, or the most likely explanation: That Glenn Beck is a serial liar.
Not that we haven't known this for years already, but it's an incredibly rare thing to see a conspiracy theory peddler get so wrapped up in detaching himself from reality that he accidentally ends up telling the truth.

On one hand, point guard Williams calls Boozer "one of the best power forwards in the league, hands down" and has publicly stated he wants the two-time All-Star back.
Asked if losing Boozer would affect his play, he readily suggested it would.
"Of course," Williams said. "He's a guy that gets me four, five, six assists a game."
On the other hand, however, Williams and Boozer haven't always enjoyed the warmest of relationships.
They appeared to band together for the common cause most of this season. But, behind the scenes in seasons past, it wasn't always that way.
And Williams this week acknowledged that playing Boozer and Millsap together — something the Jazz were forced to do quite frequently this postseason, prompted mostly by starting center Mehmet Okur's ruptured Achilles — isn't exactly ideal.
"I think that's one of the problems — is it's kind of hard, you know," Williams said, "to play (Millsap) and Booz at the same time, especially against a team like L.A., teams that have a lot of length to them."
Moreover, Williams' mood seemed to brighten a bit when he was asked last Tuesday if, need be, Millsap can pick up where Boozer leaves off.
"They're different players," he said, "but I think Paul is definitely capable of averaging around 20/10."
That would be 20 points and 10 rebounds per game — numbers roughly akin to the team-high 19.5 points and team-high 11.2 boards Boozer averaged in the just-completed regular season, and numbers significantly higher than the 11.6 and 6.8 Millsap posted as a backup in 2009-10.
Asked additionally if he thinks Millsap can start and handle 35-to-40 minutes per game — Boozer averaged 34.3 this season; Millsap, 27.8 — Williams responded enthusiastically.
"I think he can," the Jazz point said. "I mean, I think you saw when Booz was out (during the 2008-09 season) and (Millsap) had, what, 19 straight double-doubles?"
That he did.
Boozer himself was quite complimentary of Millsap this week. "Paul had a great series, a great postseason, a great season," he said. "Paul just continues to grow and get better. I'm proud of him."
Sloan, however, bends backward to lay out the case of just how valuable Boozer — for whatever faults he may have, from career-long injury woes to decided defensive deficiencies — has been to the Jazz.
"Anybody can 'fill' the spot. But will we have the same results? Can you win 53 games if Boozer's not here?" he asked. "That's the tough part.
"He (Boozer) is a very talented guy. Teams double-team us, or they zone us — he's terrific in the middle of the zone. He's got a lot of things, and not everybody has those kinds of skills — to be able to pass out of it, or take a shot that makes it look easy.
"Those things are easier to deal with," Sloan added, "when you have guys that can automatically do it."
And what if the Jazz should lose that? "Paul, he's been terrific the way he's worked and everything," Sloan said. "I'm sure if something like that happened he'd get the opportunity."
If that doesn't exactly sound like a ringing endorsement of the longtime backup, it's probably because it's more reflective of what Sloan feels the Jazz would lose than any doubts he has about Millsap's willingness to make a mark of his own.
"He's been a good worker," Sloan said of Millsap, whom he lauded for enhanced shooting the past two years. "We hope to see him continue to improve."
"If you look statistically at what guys do when they hit the age Paul's at (25), they continue to get better, and then they kind of level off for a period, and then there's a slope downward," Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said. "Like a bell-curve kind of a thing. And I think he's still on the way up."
It won't be forever, though, that Millsap — age-wise, and skill-wise — is on the rise.
The clock ticks on him, as it does on all NBA players.
Last offseason — after Boozer surprisingly opted in for the final season of his Jazz contract, and Utah declined to trade him even after committing major money to his backup — Millsap tuned out the noise.
He hit snooze on what he thought was the signal it was his time to start, at least for one season. "I didn't set myself up for (disappointment)," Millsap said. "Really, I may have thought I could help starting — but, in a worst-case scenario, (planned to) come off the bench, play significant minutes and try to help our team that way.
"I kind of knew what was going on, and I dealt with it."
Which begs the question of just what he's setting himself up for now.
"Just go out there and continue to work," he said. "I mean, I can't control (anything).
"Whatever they decide is their decision. But I'm gonna come back in the best of shape. You know, I'm trying to get better."
He is, but deep down he also feels he's good enough now.
Good enough, that is, to start.
Asked if he can replace what Boozer does for the Jazz, Millsap's response really did sound as convincing as it was brief.
"I'll let my work," he said, "speak for itself."

Catalog for artist Gregg Chadwick's exhibition entitled "Revenant" at the Sandra Lee Gallery in San Francisco, California. Includes an essay by the artist and images of paintings from the exhibit.
Currently I paint in an old airplane hangar in Santa Monica, California. The recurring sound of airplane take-offs and landings from the active airport runaway outside my studio reminds me of my own history of travel. After I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art at UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) and my Master's Degree in Fine Art at NYU (New York University), my wanderings took me from the U.S. to Asia to Australia to Europe and back, again and again. These wanderings have helped provide a series of spaces that appear within my paintings. My thoughts on art and politics can be found on my blog, Speed of Life: http://greggchadwick.blogspot.com/ My flickr page which is often updated with new finished paintings and work in progress is at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/greggchadwick/
