Rated 4 out of 5 by obrn Large Runs Small The Beds are well constructed and very comfy...( said my dogs) but the large runs small. I ordered the X-Large for my 75 pound Catahoula, and 2 larges for my basset hound, and my little 55 ib mutt....I should have ordered 3 X-larges...oh well. April 9, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by dogdaze Pleasing to the pooch Love the look - soft and cozy and enviting - could be a bit more supportive and padded on the bottom pillow. The pooch seems to like it "OK" - he still chooses other options along with his comfy couch. April 2, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Baron's Dad Great Bed for sleeping.... Baron loves this bed he is a very tall German Sheperd and had a hard time fitting in most beds but the side bollsters allow him to curl in nicely and the size if the XL bed is great for him. This is his second bed as the other one was just so worn out. March 25, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pat attractive and comfy while it took a while for the dogs to accept this new bed, they now seem to love it. We had been looking for an attractive alternative to their old round beds. All the covers can be washed, though putting it back together is a bit of a challenge! March 20, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by MomTooCuties Great bed, but... ...I think the size descriptions are 'off.' We orginally ordered the 'large' for our 60 lb lab, but it seemed too small for her - she really couldn't stretch out at all. The XL just arrived, and she seems to be fitting better in that. Aside from the sizing hiccup, we love this bed. Seems very comfy and well made. Worth the price. March 16, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike K. Comfy Pet Couch Our Beagle Hank now seems to enjoy his comfy pet couch. Yet, at first he did not utilize the new couch until we removed the extra padding "mattress", and put it into his wire crate. Hank seemed to enjoy the deeper "den-like" surrounded cushion. As owners, the dark chocolate brown pet couch fit much better in our living room area and matched better with the surrounding decor, than the previous pet bed we were using for Hank. March 3, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by tammy size misleading in catalogue The size was misleading due to the size dogs in the beds in the catalogue so I had to send back my large and get an extra large...but I am happy with the bed March 1, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by dogmom Perfect? I purchased this for my large golden retriever, Cody. Cody would have nothing to do with this bed, preferring to sleep in his old down bed. I purchased this bed because Cody has developed arthritis in his left rear leg after two surgeries for a popped knee cap. His sister (also a golden) Sophie however thinks it is absolutely wonderful so she immediately claimed it. I need to purchase a monogrammed pillow for her as the current one reads: "Cody" February 25, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by BD Must be pretty comfy! Our 16-year old arthritic Cockapoo spends a lot of time relaxing and sleeping on her comfy couch, so she apparently gives it her seal of approval. The only improvement she might make would be a little less tufting on the cushion, or a sheet of firm foam in the bottom of it to give it a little more stability. Stepping onto the deeply tufted cushion causes it curl up a bit, leaving a gap between the cushion and the front edge that her back legs then fall into, making getting in or getting settled a little awkward for a small, not-so-agile dog. We solved the problem for her by folding her favorite afghan twice to cover the cushion and extend out over the front edge. It gives enough even support to enable her to get in without tripping in that gap. Overall, she and her pals are very pleased with this well-made product. February 23, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nora Awesome This is a great couch. My dog loves it. It is so comfortable I find myself sitting on it as well. The only negative is I sometimes feel my dog is inbetween sizes. The large could be a touch bigger, but if I ordered the extra large it would have been too big. Doesn't seem to affect my dog though, he loves it! February 22, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by judi the couch is great...the pillow less so although the couch is a little more unstructured than I had expected...my 2 dogs apparently find it quite comfortable...the puppy was able to chew through the plastic zipper of the bone pillow way too easily....& it had to be discarded...the zipper should be better protected from determined teeth... February 19, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by midland98 Pet couch This is a well made pet couch that is very soft and comfortable for our spoiled shih-tzu. We purchased the extra large so there is plenty of room for our grandson too! It is a bit pricey but we are pleased with the product. February 18, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Giovanna Quina comfy pet couch the product is great, beautifull and easy to clean, but i don't know yet how is easy to wash at wash machine. but mack feel like a king !! February 13, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by John D Comfy Dog Couch is decidely comfy........ This dog/bed couch is heartily approved by Duke, my 52 pound pit-bull mix. He immediately went to sleep as soon as he hit the "couch." It appears durable, and the micro-fiber cover is soft and smooth. This bed was delivered two weeks ago and it remains Duke's favorite place. He had a corduroy bed simliar to the look of this product, but was always scratching it as he tried to alter the density of the cushion to the area where he wanted to lay. He doesn't do that with this bed as the foam is uniform throught the bottom. My only caveat is that replacement covers are not available. February 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by doggymamma My dog loves his comfy couch after a ruffff day. My dog is very well trained to stay off of furniture so, when I presented the comfy couch to him, he looked very confused and uncomfortable about getting on it. That's how much it looks like furniture. After a few awkward tries, he settled right in. I turn on the classical music station and he snuggles up in his comfy couch and relaxes. I got the xl sage and love the color. It is a good size for my 85 lb. German Shep. Only draw back is that it works best up against a wall to support the back and keep him from sitting on the bolster. February 9, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Susie Like my purchase Nice pet couch, but smaller than I thought it would be. I have a 30# dog and thought the "medium" would be appropriate. It works, but I wish I had ordered the "Large". No problems with delivery. February 5, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kelly's mom Great dog bed We were looking for a new bed for our dog that would help to wean her out of her crate. This one was perfect because of the bolster style. It is stylish and will hopefully be easy to wash. February 4, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sis Dog bed The bed may have been ordered a bit too large because the bolster does take up a considerable space. It was unbelieveably comfortable, but I did have concerns about how to wash the bottom mattress. It doesn't have a zipper. So, I assume that you drop the whole thing in the washer. But it was beautifully upholstered. January 27, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Everitts Comfy bed but too much work Our liver/white springer spaniel loves her new "bedy," as we call it, and the chocolate brown color is lovely and it's well made, BUT her white fur sheds on it, and I am constantly rolling it to remove the hair so it doesn't look bad. Her hair really adheres to the fabric. If we'd ordered the neutral color, it wouldn't have shown her hair as much. Our friend has a chocolate lab and may buy it from us so we can order a lighter neutral color. January 27, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by ravencliff Perfect for 40lb pooch Our pit/hound mix weighs in at 40 lbs. He loves to curl up & snuggle in. This size & design is perfect for him. He also has to get through the cold winters here & the high back keeps the drafts away from his body. Another great feature is that every part can be washed! January 25, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Oubie Best dog bed A+ company to deal with. We ordered a Dog bed from another place and sent it back. Glad we did because this bed is perfect. Large and thick. Thanks January 14, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by shop girl My Pup could not be happier. Although we did not get our pup's bed until after Christmas, it was totally worth the wait. He feels like royalty when he is relaxing on his own special bed. It is so well made, I anticipate it will last for years. The personalized bone-shaped pillow was a total bonus. woof woof. January 13, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dylan Comfort for my canine Comfort is the work. Our 85 lb. German Shepherd loves to curl up in this cozy bed. The suede cloth looks luxurious, but tends to attract dog hair. January 12, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hartdance My Dog loves it! She loves her bed...it's very soft...I'm not sure how to wash it yet but I haven't looked to see if it zips off or not. January 6, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ruby Love it We needed to get our dog off the couch, so we decided to get a nice dog bed. The comfy couch was more expensive, but I wanted something with quality to last and would be comfortable for the dog. She loves it, doesn't even attempt to sleep on the couch anymore, when people were over for Christmas, they made coments on how comfortable it looked and wouldn't mind sleeping in it themselves. The cat sleeps in it too ( until the dog kicks him out) frontgate was also very helpful, when I received a free shipping coupon a day after I purchased this, I called them and he refunded the shipping to me. Great company. January 4, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Carolina Girl So Comfy I had to buy a 2nd one! I have purchased this style bed from a competitor in the past and was pleased; however the 'luxury' fabric on this comfy couch and its very appealing price tag made my decision to buy as a Christmas Gift for my boxer easy. She LOVES it! My English bulldog however, now no longer satisfied with his bed, asserts his 'right' to his sisters bed by crawling in and sitting on her...LOL Based on the competition and the night time jostling that now occurs bed no 2 is on its way. I highly recommend this bed!!! As do both my babies! January 4, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer very nice This is a very nice comfy dog sofa. Fits in beautifully in our home, I love it, the kids love it, now if we could convince the dog to love it we would be set. I guess he finds it too soft...thens moves to the hard floor. January 4, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mellie Comfy Pet Couch I liked the look and quality of this bed. I have an English Bulldog. He's weighs around 48 lbs. He likes to sleep with his head elevated (easier for him to breathe) but the sides on the bed are too high. Maybe the smaller bed would have been best...not sure. It's a nice bed but just not good for my dog. Thank you. January 2, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Apollo's Mom Apollo loves his Christmas Present When I ordered the Comfy Pet Couch I was given a delivery date in January - much to my surprise - it did arrive before Christmas - my dog loves how soft and coushy it is - and his name on the embroiderd bone pillow makes it all HIS! Even though the catalog showed a Golden in the large size, I went ahead and ordered the Extra Large - it fits him perfectly and he is breed standard on height and weight. I think the large would have been too small. December 30, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by cowelk Comfy & Pretty Bed The bed is well constructed and the pomegranite color is pretty as well as the monogrammed pillow. My dog is a border collie and about 50lbs. I ordered the large but she needs every bit of it so I would say it runs on the small side. December 28, 2010

AbstractThe density functional theory (DFT) based hybrid-method B3LYP has been used to study the interaction of the nitromethane molecule (CH3NO2) with the Au(111) surface. The perfect Au(111) surface has been represented by a rather large cluster model, Au22, that was in turn used to extract information about the preferred adsorption geometry of the CH3NO2 species. In order to extract energetic information about the stability of adsorbed nitromethane, calculations were also performed for the gas-phase CH3NO2 molecule. The results obtained here are used to interpret experimental data. The computed geometry for adsorbed CH3NO2 agrees with the structure proposed from a previous experimental work.

Help me choose a host please!
We're looking at upgrading our server, currently we are on a virtual server with these specs:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (64 bit)
80GB space
2-core 1.8ghz
300gb bandwidth
The current host is being very kind, currently we are using nearly double our bandwidth allowance.
We serve ~1.1m page views a month now, and it's increasing fast. From the previous month to date we're serving another 200k page views.
Each page generally has quite a lot of DB interaction (SQL Server). CPU usage during peak time touches regularly on 100%. We serve some very large pages/files (one section of our website is an online arcade), some popular games are up to 10mb in size and they have the potential to receive bursts of visitors (around 10k in a 24 hour period). I'm not sure if our current setup could handle 2-3 simulatenous viral games.
Backups are starting to get big as well, I'd like to be able to have way more disk space, 80gb just isn't cutting it any more (we like to have last 30 days backups on the server if possible at the moment we can do about a weeks worth).
I've been looking at 1&1 dedicated which seem cheap. Coloc isn't an option for us at this stage, we'd rather pay a premium and not have to worry about it.
We've been looking at 1&1, £100 a month for:
AMD Hexa-Core (2.8 GHz)
16GB Ram
1TB space
Thoughts? I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Max budget I suppose would be £250 a month
Looking at reviews of 1&1, I'll recommend staying away from them. Do you have location preference for this? You can also consider looking at the current best selling E3-1230 processors which is very powerful. I'll also recommend considering RAID configuration so that you are protected against single HDD failure. When you outgrow this configuration in future, you can consider a separate dedicated box for SQL usage in private network.██ Softsys Hosting ██ - 8 Years In Business - 24/7 In-House Support - Enterprise DDoS Protection Available!

I'm not sure if I should be buying for location, 25% of our traffic comes from USA, and another 25% from Europe, it's spread quite evenly across the world.
I'm not too bothered about RAID (should I be?) I keep regular backups and a 1 day outage isn't the end of the world for us.
Am I correct in saying the negative reviews for 1&1 are generally in customer support? And regarding cheap shared packages? We're able enough to just deal with most server issues on our own.

I didn't mention this before, but we are enrolled on Bizspark from Microsoft which means we have a valid license for:
- SQL Server 2008 enterprise
- Windows Server 2008 enterprise
So would rather not pay for licenses for these if possible! I'm not sure if any host would let us provide keys?

Stay away from 1 & 1, sorry, but they will not be able to provide a decent enough server for what they are charging.
that is a decent budget and go with a decent provider that can give you good bandwidth to both USA as well as EU locations. Best bet if you're thinking of moving, is open up a support ticket with your chosen new provider and ask them if they support the fact that you have your own MS licenses.UKDirectHost: Dedicated Servers in the UK, USA, Germany, France and Netherlands.

That isn't a problem with most host. If you are looking for a 2 core server I would recommend the core2dou, or even bumping up to core2quad. Remember also in choosing a host the price of the server goes far beyond the server when dealing with a good host. Along with the pricing of the server you should get good 24x7 support with good response times to any issues that may arise. So with a good host not only will you get the server at a good deal but you will get many services for free that go beyond the server itself.Lee Linton - Hivelocity Hosting- Dedicated Account Manager

First visit I had a very long wait. Dr was very patient, very good listener, answered my many questions. Made my second apt first apt int he morning. Still had to wait 30-40 mins for her to come in. Voiced my problem of long wait to her. She took care of my meds, suggested new ones. The lady at the front desk "D" was very thorough and pleasant. All my calls to the office were answered and cared for in a timely manner. Have recommended her to many friends.
This office has the absolute worst office staff I have ever seen. Very rude and inconsiderate. My mom sat there 45 min and still wasn't treated. They said we are busy can you come back this afternoon. Unbelievably rude. We took my mom to her appt because we sensed problems with the office. The drs need to work on better staff. I will not bring my mom back there. The staff is very nasty to the elderly patients. They also treat them like they are children. Horrible. DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE. The reviews from years ago prove this problem has not been corrected. These drs need to wake up and see how their front desk treats people. So glad I went and checked out the place.
She is a doctor I trust with my life. She takes time with me. She is also a very good listener and cares about your needs. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a doctor
Wonderful doctor in every way.
As a nurse, I have spent several years working in physician offices and have experienced good and bad office staffs. I echo all of the negative comments about this office staff. The staff is discourteous, incompetent and unprofessional. They caused me many hours and several personal visits to the office in an attempt to correct a coding error that they made. This error has cost me over $100 and to this day (several months later), this error has not been corrected. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the office staff. In some cases, they are just as important as the physician. Unfortunately, I like the physician at this office but will never return as a result of the incompetent and unprofessional office staff.
From the beginning to end experience is TERRIBLE!!!! receptionist name Gabby is very unprofessional and rude. As if you are bothering her (isn't she at work?) the wait time is TWO hours and when you finally get in the back you wait another hour while I listen to Dr. Pugh stand outside the door talking to staff about personal stuff like publix really!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE I can not stress it enough
Dr Pugh listened to my complaints and sent me to specialists. She is still trying to diagnose me , but I feel encouraged that she will do so. The staff has been very good faxing my records when I ask and scheduling appointments for me.
Have spent a year with doctor. The staff has changed at least 4 times. The wait time is unbelievable at times. When I entered the office there were no patients waiting. I waited an hour in the lobby and another 35 minutes in the room before she came in. . . No regard for the patient's time. Not happy with her performance when evaluating me. I saw a new practicing PA who didn't even listen to my complaints, She treated me for a virus and I had acid reflux. (After extensive research I diagnosed myself with acid reflux and went back for a referral to see a Gastro dr. I am not sure anyone cares or there are far too many patients,
I like Dr Pugh..she listens and is there and responds after hours quickly...however, the staff has major attitude...Carmen is the only nice one and goes out of her way to help you.
this dr was recommended to me from some one else,they never said all the problems their was,when you get to be older adult this office doesnt care,staff not friendley,been on hold on phone for half an hour,finally hung up,could go on and on but not enough room.im really upset that i had a visiting nurse tell me that after talking to her on the phone,that she got the inpression that the dr was trying not to do too much about my care,its just ashame,visiting nurse couldnt beleive it,
Looking for new doctor due to staff not very nice, long waits for appointments, medication not getting called into pharmacy.
Office staff at desk are rude and impatient and no return phone calls from the Dr's, nurse practioner or staff. I can't understand how an office can be run like this. There are other choices for Doctors in the area.
I have had alot of problems at this office for calling in scripts and getting the wright treatment. The feeling I get when i go to this office is that they care more about the money then the do me.
good bedside manner, easy to talk with, listens to your concerns, is supportive of your plan of treatment, makes sugestions that are logical and affordable.

433 Tasting Notes
Malt, sweet potato/roasted notes, hint of a floral note, and red fruit notes meet my nose. This tea smells more intense than the last time I made it. I used more leaf using about 1.75 TSP for 225 ml. The liquor is a a nice medium, orange red. The tea tastes smooth with sweet undertones. With floral fruity notes with a hint of cream dominant over malt and roasted notes, citrus/malt notes more present in the aftertaste. A pleasant cup for mid afternoon.
This tea smells strongly of cinnamon, fruit, and pastry. The fruit is almost more cherry like (perhaps from the almond) than apple, but the apple is present. This is another one where the flavour is more intense when cool. The first sips hot leave an impression of almond liqueur, sweet tea, cinnamon, and a touch of pastry. As it cools a little the cinnamon intensifies, and a bit of apple appears to blend with the cherry touched almond. The aftertaste is of cinnamon pastry and sweet tea,with a hint of vanilla cream. The flavours are well blended together, but none is distinct enough that I could name this as an apple tea if asked. Overall, a nice mild sweet cinnamon tea.
100°C/5 min
2 tsp cocoa nibs
1 tsp soba cha,
a couple thin slices of ginger,
4 small pods of cardamon,
1cm worth of cinnamon stick
3 arms of star anise.
1 clove
@14 oz of water steeped for @6 min
Not bad and chai like but I used one TSP of soba cha instead of extra coconibs and I think next time I will use the extra tsp of nibs and then add the soba cha. I will also up the ginger next time as well, otherwise the flavours mixed well to produce a mild cocoa based chai.
This tea has a fruity, candy like passion fruit that smells almost creamy with a touch of mango. It produces a bright orange amber tea that may appear cloudy as actual passion fruit pulp is used. But this cup is clear. The tea is a large leaf Ceylon with long loosely twisted leaves.
The flavour is of a sweet, not tart passion fruit that is slightly creamy. The tea underneath is fruity with a touch of bitterness, a classic tea flavour even if it tastes a little thin compared to some of the syrupy teas I've had lately. The large leaf makes it difficult to measure out so perhaps I under leafed it. This is pretty smooth for a Ceylon with just a light astringency. It probably makes a nice iced tea. Pretty nice hot too. Well worth the @$2.00 I paid for it.
I find that most of my Yunnan's fall between the spectrum of leathery spicy and honey fruity all with cocoa underneath, but each are unique in some ways. The crudest, roughest one has almost licorice tones, one has orange notes, one has a lot of spice over chocolate notes, another is jelly and violets and then there is this one. This one is quite fruity and almost boozy in the first steeps, overlying the honey, cocoa, and leather and has a bit of snap pea to it.
It looks just like the picture with medium thickness blades and furry gold buds. About 75-80 % appears to be buds. The dry sent is almost hay like.
I steeped one heaping TSP in a 150 ml gaiwan. Using boiling water.
After 45 s the scent is of honey, hay, cocoa, smoke, and a faint leather spice. The tea is a medium ambre brown with a yellow green ring I get in many tippy teas around it.
The flavours of cocoa, hay, smoke and honey combined to create something slightly fruity. It brings back a memory of something I had at school when a classmate prepared a Vietnamese meal for us. There was a hint of grapes, cooked apple and a slight musty tone all soaked in a touch of rum.
Other notes I tasted were of snap pea, honey sweetened cocoa in grape juice, and very faint leather notes. As it cools the cocoa, honey, slightly boozy fruit dominate. Very smooth tingling in front and top of mouth.The first steep was kind of syrupy. Further steeps were as follows:
60s less honey, more cocoa, and hints of tarter red fruit, touch of bean still quite sweet and honeyed. Not as syrupy as first cup.
75s honey cocoa,leathery earthy notes.
120s. Cocoa, honey, red fruit , leather spice
240s. Cocoa, leather,honey.
This tea still has some life in it. I especially liked the first steep and the hint of red fruit in some of the later ones. All together a nice tea that I wouldn't mind enjoying from time to time.
Thanks, Capital Tea Ltd for this generous sample!
This tea tastes of lightly floral lemon pie filling with a sweetened aftertaste from the caramel. There is a hint of vanilla and cool sugary meringue note. A smooth base underneath, adds a bit of depth and a touch of bitterness and pastry. This tea has a sweet aftertaste. More tartness from lemon appears as it cools and as Lala noticed the flavour intensifies. The flavour was very light when hot. A nice sweet lemon tea with the caramel adding a warmth and richness to the tea.
This is one of my favourite all day teas. Its initial cups are bright and fruity and almost creamy, it lasts anywhere between 7-11 steeps,and it finishes in caramel honey. I haven't had it for a while and the fruit is mellowing and is less tart as it ages but it's still pretty fabulous.
The tea consists of dark tightly wound short leaves with copper gold tips.
1.5 TSP in a 225ml vessel steeped at boiling for 45 seconds yields an amber red liquid tinged green gold at the edge of the cup. This one does require a slightly longer steep than some of my Jinjunmeis and does not brew as deep a red but it has a great bright flavour.
The scent of this tea is warm, sweet and bright with sweet potato, caramel, smoke and longan, hint of chocolate and cinnamon.
The flavour is of fruit and very light smoke/ roast and cinnamon notes on top, with caramel, cocoa and hint of sweet potato with peppery notes underneath. It tastes bright, sweet and smooth and leaves a cooling sensation at top front of my mouth. The tea yields a good dose of caffeine. Longan dominates the aftertaste, with light peppery notes and a lingering caramel sweetness. Through later steeps them long an will fade then it will have a couple of sterps that taste like an orange pekoe Ceylon and then it yields caramel towards the end. A great tea for all day.
I've enjoyed all the black teas I've got from this aliexpress seller and he has really great sales. However he had problems with his partner and currently reorganising his business. Hopefully he returns to selling teas soon as they seemed to be well received.
This one really does benefit from a longer steep time and from being allowed to cool to get the full benefit of its flavours. I steeped it for around 6 minutes this time with no ill effects. The tea has a thick slightly chalky texture on the tongue from the cocoa and the prune. At short steeps I find the flavour is dominated by the prune and clementine which reference some of the flavours found in really fruity ceylon with the citrus notes thinning out the plum/prune flavour. At longer steeps the flavours balance each other better. Caramel adds a richness to the tea and softens and dulls the fruit a little and the cocoa becomes more present in the blend. I do taste the vodka, but not as an alcohol/liquor taste but more as coolness added to the taste and a slight mineral note. I don't find this to be an over the top sweet dessert tea, but a comforting, soft, sweet, sweet and slightly fruity tea. The Clementine note intensifies as it cools with the caramel being the second most dominant note underneath with the cocoa adding texture and depth. This tea grows on me every time I drink it.
I'm really enjoying this bright and lovely tea this morning thanks to the generosity of CrowKettle.
After a four minute steep I'm left with a sweet scent that is a blend of citrus, sweet fruit such as tart plum, cinnamon, a hint of cardamon and nutmeg and a touch of floral like gardenia and rose cross.
The tea tastes sweet combining citrus/malt, honey, floral, plum, and spice notes. It is a pretty orange red colour, and tastes smooth but refreshing. as it cools it combines to create a taste like lemon scented waffles with a hint of sweet syrup.
The second steep is sweeter with stronger pastry notes. Caramel notes are present with hints of raisin.
Looking forward to further steeps throughout the day.
Thanks again for this very generous sample!
This is quite a nice Ceylon. It seems to lie between those Ceylon's that are sugary sweet, those that hold lots of citrus notes, and those with deep malt notes. It's a pretty well balanced cup, with just the right touch of briskness.
The tea smells of malt, a touch of brown sugar, spice (cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg), citrus, and berries with some deeper slightly bitter notes. The flavour is deep and robust with all of the above notes. This Ceylon would take milk well. It is not an overly sweet tea, and has a lovely citrusy and spicy aftertaste. I'm quite enjoying this cup. 96°C 4 min.
Edit: The resteep is lovely and sweeter. I think that this tea would benefit from a shorter steep than I first gave it. Cocoa notes are present in this steep.

|How Class Works Conference
|June 9: Sam Pizzigati
Plutocrats: Understanding the 0.1%
Pizzigati's latest book, The Rich Don't Always Win: The forgotten triumph over plutocracy that created the classic American middle class, 1900-1970 (Seven Stories Press) appeared in 2012. In 2008, Pizzigati played a lead role on the team that generated The Nation magazine's special issue on extreme inequality. That issue went on to win the 2009 Sidney Hillman Prize for magazine journalism.
A Maryland resident, Pizzigati served for eight years on the founding board of directors of Progressive Maryland, the state's leading alliance of labor, community, civil rights, and religious organizations. He spent a similar stint on the board of the Boston-based United for a Fair Economy, a national economic justice education and organizing effort.
Co-sponsor: The Center for Study of Working Class Life
Abstract: The idea is to give people interested in advancing the life circumstances of working people as clear an idea who are the 0.1%, the plutocrats, how they are organized, how they understand and pursue their interests–within the US and as a leading element of a newly emerging global ruling class–and what this all mean for workers.

Mass Extinctions and Evolution: What We've Learned Since Darwin
Co-sponsor: Department of Ecology and Evolution
Abstract: The fossil record is punctuated by extinction events at all scales, from the loss of one or two fish species with the drying of a lake, to the wholesale disappearance of dinosaurs (birds aside) 65 million years ago. The handful of events that are global in scale and bring down a wide spectrum of species are termed mass extinctions, which account for less than 10% of all the extinction over life's long history, but have been pivotal in shaping the world's biota. Because most research has centered on the causes of mass extinctions, we are just beginning to understand their evolutionary roles. Growing evidence points to a change in the rules of survival during mass extinctions, so that evolution is re-channeled during these rare but intense episodes. The evolutionary bursts that follow the extinctions may be just as important as the extinctions themselves, as new or previously obscure lineages take advantage of the opportunities opened up by the demise of dominant groups. However, a closer look at recovery intervals shows that survival alone does not guarantee evolutionary success: not all survivors are winners. The implications of this new understanding of extinction for present-day biodiversity are complex but wide-ranging.

|21st Annual Leadership Symposium: Challenges in Higher Education
|March 10: Shaun R. Harper
Best Practices in Creating an Inclusive Campus Environment
Joining Dr. Harper for the 21st Annual Leadership Symposium will be Cheryl D. Hamilton, Assistant Provost and Director of EOP/AIM, and Dr. Timothy Ecklund, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students. Ms. Hamilton and Dr. Ecklund will each repond to Dr. Harper's presentation, after which the presenters will address questions from the symposium audience.
Co-sponsors: Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, School of Social Welfare.
Abstract: Achieving diversity in higher education is a worthy, and as yet unrealized goal that would contribute significantly to creating greater equity in our society. Diversity alone, however, does not ensure student success or sufficient progress toward fully functioning citizenship. Improved outcomes in that regard require that campus environments are welcoming, inclusive, and encouraging of engagement of all members of the campus community. To that end, enhancing the effectiveness of campuses as inclusive environments is a priority consistent with and representative of public universities' mission. Dr. Harper will help to inform our efforts to create an environment that is inclusive and engaging for our students, in particular in the context of our overall commitment to improving four-year graduation rates.

The Tax on Being Different
Lecture will be followed by a Fireside Chat hosted by Dr. Charles Robbins.
Co-sponsors: Teaching, Learning & Technology,The Faculty Center, and the Division of Information Technology
Abstract: Through Dr. Ming's research in developing algorithmic modeling to assist Silicon Valley tech firms recruit a more diverse workforce, she identified troubling statistics about diversity hires and the "tax" that women and under-represented minorities pay to be employed at some of the country's top firms. Through her research in neuroscience, cognition and her own life story, Dr. Ming is an expert on bias and discrimination, having undergone a gender transition in her mid-30's, she experienced firsthand what it is to interact with the world as both a male and female scientist and entrepreneur. Using a wide-range of data, she has calculated the tax, or price, that minorities pay to see equal opportunities and will reveal its impact on our organizations and economies. Dr. Ming will discuss the research that support the concept of a tax that is placed on those least able to pay it, defying any concept of fairness or economic inventive. According to Ming, organizations can adjust to improve this inevitable bias and will demonstrate that while discrimination is an inescapable part of the human experience, it can be overcome.

Building a Culture of Diversity in Higher Education: Obstacles and Successes
Co-sponsors: Institute for Advanced Computational Science, Center for Inclusive Education
Abstract: Extreme growth in the nation's Hispanic population is forcing educational challenges at a crisis level for the country. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that this fastest growing segment of the nation's population continues to be the least educated. The speaker warns that the rate at which the minority population is growing outpaces the rate at which we are improving our effectiveness in educating this segment of the population. The speaker's remarks will focus on the obstacles that the nation's universities must overcome in order to improve representation at the graduate, and faculty levels in science, engineering, and mathematics. He will discuss the role that mathematicians play in contributing to the representation failures. The speaker also will discuss his successful Rice program for improving graduate student representation and the challenges that he has faced throughout his journey from being born in Los Angeles to parents who immigrated from Mexico to his trip to the White House to receive the 2011 National Medal of Science from President Obama. The National Medal of Science is the highest award given by the United States government and Richard Tapia is the first Latino to win this prestigious award.

text: Home > Medical > Depression > Living-with depression Updated 28 September 2015 Your sex life and depression Depression can have a negative effect on libido. Learn more about it and what you can do to make it better. 0 Feelings of sadness, hopelessness and helplessness are typical features of depression. These feelings can have a great effect on people's everyday lives. Tiredness, reduced self-confidence, and loss of sex drive are also common.If you're depressed and have lost interest in sex, don't worry – you are not alone. Surveys show that about two out of three people who suffer from depression lose interest in sex. It's important to understand that this lack of interest is as much a symptom of depression as feeling low. Both probably result from imbalances in brain chemistry. Reduced sexual activity may also be accompanied by weight loss, reduced energy and disturbed sleep.What sort of sexual problems are common?A general loss of interest in sex is the most common problem. Other problems include:not being able to get sexually arousedlowered sexual performancenot being able to gain pleasurelack of energynot being able to get or keep an erectionpremature ejaculationnot being able to ejaculate or reach orgasmWill treatment help my problems?Modern antidepressants are very effective in treating depression and as your depression gradually lifts, your interest in sex should return. However, some antidepressants may make sexual problems worse, or cause new sexual problems. This does not mean you should stop taking medication. Talking to your doctor should sort out whether it's the depression or the medication causing the problem. Changing the dose, using an extra medicine, or taking a different antidepressant may help.What are the main sexual side effects of antidepressants?Loss of sexual drive, erection problems, failure to have an orgasm and delayed ejaculation are common in men taking antidepressants. Some drugs can cause painful ejaculation. In some studies about 40% of all the men taking the drugs experienced sexual difficulties. Women may experience loss of desire, vaginal dryness (making intercourse painful) and difficulty having an orgasm.Are sexual side effects common with all antidepressants?No. Some of the newer antidepressants are less likely to cause the sexual side effects.Must I talk about this, I'm embarrassedA good sex life is an important part of health and well-being, so it's important to talk to your doctor about any problems. If you had sexual difficulties before starting treatment, they are probably part of your depression. If they began during treatment, they may be a side effect of your medication.Try asking a general question like "I've lost interest in sex. Is this normal?" or explain "since I've been on these drugs I seem to have a slight sexual problem". Just try to explain your feelings and any difficulties. Your doctor may be able to suggest some other form of help such as counselling, psychotherapy or marital therapy, or may change your medication.But my doctor hasn't asked me about my sex lifeSome doctors may wish to ask you about your sex life but they worry that you will be offended or feel that it is "none of their business". By bringing the subject up yourself you can create the opportunity to get the help you need.What else can affect my sex life?Some other illnesses and conditions which can cause sexual problems include: diabetes, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure (hypertension) and smoking.Other medicines which may cause sexual problems include drugs prescribed for high blood pressure, some lipid-lowering agents, anti-histamines, anti-epilepsy drugs and drugs often prescribed with antidepressants to reduce anxiety (anxiolytics), insomnia (sleeping pills) and severe mental disturbance (antipsychotics). If you are taking antidepressants, you should tell your doctor about all other medication you are taking, including medicines bought in pharmacies or other shops. This should help prevent any harmful reactions between drugs.Many "street" drugs (for example cannabis, opiates, amphetamines, cocaine and ecstasy) may also cause sexual difficulties.Many people who are depressed drink too much alcohol – often because they think that it will make them feel better.

Garden of Serenity CD
Visualize the most tranquil garden there has ever been...nestled behind high stone walls, completely secluded and calm. It's filled with exotic flowers, plants, birds, and trees. There is a small brook. The sounds of bubbling water and singing birds intertwine with the quiet tinkling of wind chimes, harp, temple bells, and gentle Shakuhachi flute melodies. A wonderful feeling of peace and joy drifts through your body and mind- this is the magical world that awaits you within the "Garden of Serenity." The meditative interplay of natural sounds enchanted music creates a healing, mentally cleansing and stress-free environment. David and Steve Gordon

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I wish there was a way for the government or even a private agency to find these people and bring them to justice for what they are trying and doing to people that do not take the time to find out if things are real or not.
Due to the severe economic times we are in, people are more apt to subject themselves to fraud and scams now more than ever before and, it is a sad state of affairs that it is almost impossible to track these scammers down and bring them to face the people that they ripped off and let true justice be served.

English, Baby! instructor Jason Simms sent this video of his English lesson with Portland Trail Blazer Nicolas Batum a couple weeks back. Batum is from France and this is his first year with the Blaze-show. He's averaging about 5 points a game in seventeen minutes. But his specialty is "(crushing) the ball in the rim".
French basketball website BasketUSA.com (real name!) wrote about the video here. Since it is in French and not about fries or kissing*, I asked Jason for a translation:
The site English, Baby!, which gives English classes online, met with
Nicolas Batum during a Blazers training session.
The lesson of the day focuses on the verbs "could" and "can" and on
the fact that you shouldn't use the word "to" after these two verbs.
The former resident of Le Mans, during this interview, also gives the
significance of the term "slam dunk."
In addition to this little English lesson, it's also an occasion to
see that Nicolas (I think they make fun of our pronunciation here?)
has made good progress in the language of Britniey Speaks and that
like Alexis Ajinca, he's making it known that we play do basketball in
If you are wondering what was supposed to be after the "…", I believe they meant to add "how America not know this! Have you not heard of NBA Champion Tony Parker?!!", but it was 11:15 and they decided they would take their two hour lunch breaks instead*.

TENNIS royalty is in town. Roger Federer, widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, is in Singapore on Friday for a one-day visit on the invitation of Credit Suisse. The Swiss world No 2 is a global ambassador for the bank.
Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam winner, met with members of the media for a brief question-and-answer session at the Credit Suisse office in the afternoon. He also had a short meet and greet with some local tennis juniors. On his way to Melbourne for next week's Australian Open, the 31-year-old discussed his preparations for the year's first Grand Slam.
He said: "I had a great season in 2012 and I'm not playing any leading up tournament because I thought practice is going to be very important for me in the upcoming year. I think it's going to be an exciting Australian Open with many of the top players playing very well. Personally I hope I can play well there."
Federer's schedule in Singapore will not include any public appearances.

1st Annual Helping Hands Food Drive at Mesa Verde Middle School through Feb. 28
Last year, Mesa Verde Middle School students in Rancho Penasquitos participated in Rachel's Challenge, an anti-bullying program that came out of the tragic events of the Columbine high school shooting. The initiative was part of a multi-year, school-wide effort to equip students and adults with tools and strategies to combat bullying, teasing, and harassment. The point of the program is to allay feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of deeper kindness and compassion throughout the school community.
"We believe that every little bit makes a difference," says Monica Flores, VP of Programs at the Mesa Verde PTSA. "Take a moment to put some of your extra canned food or pantry supplies in the car right now and make the effort to drop off your item with our students anytime this whole month - our students really appreciate your support."
As part of the program, many MVMS students signed a pledge that they will abide by the objectives of the program. Because Rachel Scott, a victim of the school shooting, wrote in her journal that she believed that "these hands will touch millions of people's hearts," the students are organizing around the idea of "Helping Hands".
For their kickoff project, the February food drive is a community effort to collect canned food and supplies for 60 local families.
"People will never know how far a little kindness can go," wrote Rachel Scott, and the students themselves believe they, too, can make a difference.
Donations of the following are encouraged: dry pasta, white and brown rice, dry beans like pintos and kidney beans, peanut butter, canned tuna and canned chicken, canned vegetables like corn, green beans, and carrots, and tomato sauce/spaghetti sauce. Canned food donations may be dropped off during school hours (8:30am to 3:15pm) at Mesa Verde Middle School at 8375 Entreken Way, San Diego, CA 92129, or call 858-538-5478 for more details.

Joint National Training Capability Activities
What is it? The Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) focuses on adding joint context to training activities by leveraging existing Service training programs. It is based on an integrated live, virtual, and constructive simulation training environment and helps prepare units, commanders, and staffs for operating in a joint environment. The JNTC creates the opportunity to train against a general threat or conduct mission rehearsals against a specific threat. It also provides the opportunity to test new doctrine, tactics, techniques, procedures, Joint Operational Concepts, and equipment. As the integrating environment, JNTC will provide training to the full complement of defense audiences. Active and reserve forces from individual Services will be able to train in a realistic joint context with other Services and joint battle staffs. Battle staffs from joint, component, and tactical headquarters will train and rehearse using real-world command and control systems, with tactical forces represented through simulation support.
What has the Army done?
- Hosted two of four Pre-Initial Operations Capability events at Army combat training centers (CTCs).
- Partnered with the U.S. Joint Forces Command Joint Warfighting Center at Suffolk, Virginia to conduct mission readiness exercises for senior-level headquarters in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
- Established Joint Training and Experimentation connectivity at nine installations.
- The Battle Command Training Program at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas was the first JNTC program accredited and certified.
For more additional information on Joint National Training Capability Activities
For more information on this and other topics see Addendum J in the Army Posture Statement.
The Army Readiness Assessment Program is destined to serve as the battalion commander's tool of choice in gaining predictive visibility of their formations. Leaders want to know how their unit is performing and the likelihood of their organization experiencing a mishap. ARAP provides that insight. Past statistics demonstrate that battalions scoring in the lower quartile are 50% more likely to experience a Class-A mishap than those scoring in the top quartile. Armed with this information, battalion commanders can focus on points of failure within their formations and adjust the safety climate. Battalion Commanders gain the program's maximum capabilities through the back-brief process to their Brigade Commanders garnering resources, advice and support to mitigate identified shortcomings.
