Recent Tasting Notes
In a word, this tea is superb. I adore this tea. I ordered it loose, and the fact that it comes in a beautiful 4 oz tin is icing on the cake. Everyone has a different opinion on the ideal Earl Grey, but I've been testing a lot of them lately, and this is my favorite so far. I made it exactly as recommended, 5 min. steeping with boiling water. I used 1 tsp in 8 oz. Not the least bit bitter-just the right amount of bergamot. Excellent hot or cold. Perfection. I can't wait to try the other 7 selections from Harney & Sons, my first experience with this company.
Slightly tainted tasting note, sorry. I didn't get a chance to try the unadulterated tea as Mum was waiting for her steaming cuppa, so these are my thoughts on my remix…
I'm getting a lot better about not sticking my nose in the whole tin/packet. Still, the fragrance is off-putting. This doesn't smell like lychee and ginger to me. At all. It smells really quite like perfume, which isn't something I seek in my food or drink. The brew also smells perfumed, but less so, thank goodness.
Flavour-wise, the lychee-ginger combination is really nice. Overall, the tea tastes pretty good, but every once in a while that perfume sneaks in and casts a pall of artificiality over everything. (Note that I don't know whether in fact any artificial flavour has been added. It could be that this is just a side effect of the combination of natural flavours in the tea.) It has a really nice black tea-lychee aftertaste. If you're sensitive to caffeine, be careful with this one, it's hitting me pretty hard.
In the end, I like this tea enough to finish it, probably not enough to buy it again. I do really love both lychee and ginger, though, so I'm looking forward to trying other blends. If I can find a flavourful, natural-tasting lychee blend, I can always grate fresh ginger into the infuser. The ginger is easy, it's the lychee that's hard to get right.
Tea amount: 1 sachet
Water amount: 6oz/~175mL
Additives: ¾ tsp/~3.5g Demerara sugar and a few thin slices of fresh ginger
This is on my list to try! I actually love Harney's plain lychee black, so I feel like I will dig this one
If you're not planning to pick this up for yourself, care to swap some of this for some of the plain lychee black?
Unfortunately I don't have any of the plain lychee black right now, but if I had some of it I would totally swap with you.
What a fun tea- so different from my previous experiences. The longest leaves were as long as my index finger and impressive upon first sight. I brewed about 8 leaves in about 10 oz of water at 170F or so and found the flavor to be light with a subtle baked and vegetal undertone, and quite enjoyable, although a little weak for my taste. I added four more leaves and brewed the next round at 180F. This created a more assertive brew, although still mild compared to other teas in my cupboard. Whenever I come across a light tea that forces some concentration it becomes a meditation tea for me and reminds me to take the time I need to be mindful and aware.
I read that leaves from the true Taiping Houkui cultivar have a red vein down the middle of the main leaf, and a vibrant color when wet. I cannot say that these leaves possessed those qualities. I don't know if that means Harney has a lower-quality houkui, but I do know I'm gonna buy some from hojo.com, since they are the ones making the statements. This will give me a little compare-and-contrast opportunity.
I was in Corning NY, and strolled into a tea & coffee shop. They had open tins of loose teas that you could smell. As soon as I lifted the tin with Pomegranate Oolong I was hooked. Took some home and brewed a cup. I've had it at least once a day since then. I love the lightness, the fragrance, and the smoothness of this tea! You will not be disappointed.
Oh my heavens.. I have not even began to log any of my H&S teas yet!
I brewed this up as I couldn't put down the container after taking a sniff – it smelled like delicious caramel green tea with sesame notes. I'm in!
soo…3 minutes later with ~85˚C water and what do I get?
Mochi… sesame caramel mochi. I think the bancha is contributing a nice supportive flavour.. I don't want to say vegetal, because it's not really vegetal. Maybe a nice mineral note. Hmm..
Either way. The more I drink this and let my tongue rest in between sips.. the greater the sweetness builds with caramel notes. Delightful. Just what I was looking for =)
First holiday dinner down, one to go. Such a full tummy. This is a good tea to wrap up the day with.
Lighter than standard blacks, this has a dryness that builds after a few cups. A nice, refreshingly clean taste. A good, uncomplicated way to round out the evening and prepare for the cooking marathon tomorrow. :)
I was just doing some research to find some good Nilgiri teas, since I've never had any, and I think I'd like them. I might start with this one…haven't found too many on here that have been reviewed much yet.
I like Nilgiris. This is not a bad one to try. Pretty much all of Harney's teas are good representatives of the types. Even if they aren't my personal thing, their teas always seem to be good quality at reasonable price points. If I had some Nilgiri on hand I'd offer to send you some. :)
Havukal is a Nilgiri estate as well. If you want samples, you might try Upton Teas. They have several Nilgiris and they do inexpensive samples. Except for the Havukal. :)
Awesome, thanks so much! I like the Ceylon and India Tea from Harney & Sons, and I have a bunch of other black teas from them on my wish list…seems like they make some quality stuff for what you pay. I'll take a look into Upton Teas also! I read about Nilgiri teas earlier today and thought "wow, I need to give them a try!" Thanks for the recommendations! :)
Feel free to look through my cupboard; I am a big black tea fan. I'd be happy to share samples with you, just PM me what you'd like to try. No reciprocal swap needed – I am swimming in tea. :) If you like Ceylons I should send you some Amba from Single Origin.
Awesome, thanks so much, I'll take a look! You definitely have a more extensive collection that I have, but please let me know if I have anything I can offer in return! I haven't added everything yet, but I'm getting there. I have a Chinese lychee black tea that is pretty good…not sure how you feel about flavored black teas. I do like Ceylons…so smooth!
I tried this tonight again because of another tea that I wanted to compare this against, not that they share the same ingredients or anything lol but it was an excuse to try this tea. I'm pretty sure I'm about done with this one, so the remainder of my sample will be going to a good home. Bergamot and I do no seem to dance well together. :)
I'm not a bergamot fan either. I've been trying to find a variation of Earl Grey to enjoy but I just can't. I think it's time to accept I just don't care for bergamot haha.
I'm in the same boat. I gave up a long time ago. Every once in awhile I'll try again to no avail. Good thing there are millions of other flavors!
Uh if you like lemoney flavours… earl grey creme from upton tastes like lemon chiffon to me..but maybe i'm a crazy person. it's the only earl gery i've been able to drink lol because it doesn't taste like normal earl grey haha
Thank you Travelling Tea Box A! I do know who included this but i know by the time i get around to reviewing all of the items I snuck out of it, i'll have forgotten it. So consistency and all you know :)
I was totally distracted while making this. I lost about an hour of my work day this morning when the mailman showed up early which meant i HAAAAD to open my travelling tea box, sort through it, package up teas i took from it etc… you know how it is. PLus i received 2-3 other packages in the mail and i was like it's CHRISTMAS!!!!!! well as close to it as I'll get since this year won't be really christmassy with all our friends being out of town and no time to visit either set of our parents.
Anyway…i'm rambling. This tea… i made while trying to grab lunch and takle 13 different things at work. i distractedly picked up the team to sip and WOAH! HELLO! It was like WOMAN! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! YOU WANTED ME! NOW LISTEN UP!
I'm not sure what I was expecting with this tea. I think I pretty much had decided i was either going to hate it or love it. The jury is still out on how i feel about bergamot. Well folks, i love this. Its not a tea i'd drink all the time, but it IS a tea i will thoroughly enjoy and likely replenish when I run out. It's vanilla..and citrus and smooth. It isn't a dessert tea but it's not quite a MORNING tea if you know what i mean. I feel like i should be drinking this with a scone. of some sort. it's fruity..and yet not.
I will have to give this even more attention when I have less urgent things from work. All in all, a giid first step in my travelling tea box!
Just received the new 2012 batch this week and it is sublime.
This is tea for the purist. An absolutely delicious aroma, classic assam color, perhaps slightly on the darker side. The taste provides just enough sweetness, just enough honey notes, and there is very little astringency. This is quite simply how I like my tea – unaided by external forces, so no sugar, no milk (or in my case almond or coconut milk). It is full of body yet smooth and soothing that you just want to keep it in your mouth and savor it just a while longer.
This is what a cup of black tea should taste like. Next up is the full leaf assam, and I'll provide a comparison in that tasting note.
I purchased this on a quest for a daily yet versatile cup of black.
The aroma of the dry leaves is somewhat smokier than I had expected, yet the more I inhaled I sensed a bit of sweetness as well. The aroma is about as full bodied as the tea, and complex enough to make you consider exactly what's going on there.
The cup brews fairly dark and like the dry leaves has a somewhat smoky scent. Oddly enough, I don't really taste the smokiness, which came as a surprise. Instead I sipped a round, rather full bodied cup of black in which the assam and keemun flavors battled one another for dominance.
It's a solid tea, enjoyable at that. Better after a meal than on its own.
Picked this up at the local tea shop. This is a delightful fruity tea. At first sip, I tasted the guava, but then I got a hint of coconut. I'm sure the other flavors are in there too, but I'm having trouble finding them. I may not have the best palate for them. I like that it's a blend of green and black teas – might be the only way for me to enjoy a green. A great way to start a Tuesday!
When I was younger my mom and I had a tradition on Friday nights. We would make tea in our fancy teapots, buy small cookies, and put everyone on nice plates while we watched our favorite show, Providence. For years after the show was cancelled we were still looking for the tea we drank during that time, it was a sweet, spicy cinnamon flavor that tasted even spicier with sugar.
I found it! I have tried so many cinnamon teas to get to this one. This tea is incredible, you do not need any sugar to taste the sweetness of it. It's rich and warm, perfect for cold days and a little jolt of caffeine.
I especially look forward to drinking it with my mom when I go home for Thanksgiving to relive our memories :)
This is an ancient sample that came from Jenn and it's probably over a year old now so I don't know how this is influencing the tasting. I don't know about this tea though… normally I am a fan of fruit flavored teas but this is just o.k. to me, I feel like the flavors are just clashing with each other and not coming together in a cohesive way. It's kind of like a rummy cough syrup. Okay, I will stop whining now. It isn't something I would buy from Harney and Sons but it's drinkable…
Following hurricane Sandy and over a week without power, I was forced to camp out in a local Barnes and Noble on numerous occasions for two of life's great necessities: hot tea and wifi. Harney supplies B&N with tea, and while consuming hours of free wifi, I had the opportunity to try some new teas. The one that lifted my spirits the most was Harney's Holiday Tea. Days later, I was compelled to order a tin of said tea from Harney to celebrate the return of power!
Back in civilization, sitting with a hot pot brewed, I just love the wild mixture of scents from this blend. Each stage has differing smells: With the dry leaf, it's orange-cinnamon that dominates, with the wet, it's the toasty underlying black tea, and with the liquor, the flavors that hit my nose the hardest are the vanilla and almond. Sipping this, I get the spiced cinnamon and cloves early in the sip and at the front of the mouth. While the back half of this sip, the orange-almond-vanilla shows it's face. A little bit of spice sits at the tip of the tongue and the back of the mouth after swallowing. It's a very wild medley of flavors, but it finds a way to work. I can fully understand anyone who considers this blend to be over-the-top. Overall, I find this tea, fairly comforting and warming.
I'm one who usually does not care much for these sorts of wild blends; I'm more of a tea purist at heart. But this is one blend that I can enjoy. It's not something that I could drink daily though. But, cuddled up with a good book, on a cold winter night, this tea finds a home. Oh, and it works well too in the midst of post-hurricane madness, ehh.
I bought the little tagalong tin of this, smelled it and went "WOOO!". It smells like red hot cinnamon candies :D So I was going to save my little tagalong bags for when I'm out and about but I had to have one this morning. I was in desperate need of an urgent wake me up.. and this certainly did the job! It's a lot more sweet than I thought it would be but it's still got that cinnamon kick to it. It's still spicy :] MMMMMM
This one is crazy dusty. I've never seen a tea quite like this before, it's almost as if a little cloud of cinnamon bits follows this around wherever it goes. Extremely cinnamony flavor, a very dry flavor. I am deffinately a cinnamon lover, but the first few sips of this where absolutely repulsive. It deffinately rated about as well as my first abysmal attempt at a milk oolong. Blech. It's got a bit of an off flavor to it, one that I can't quite place. I'm going to say that the cinnamon is almost soggy. I can't explain it, not entirely sure if it's an accurate description. It tastes more like something that got wet on accident and fell into my cup.
However, I've got a whole tin of this and it's gotta dissapear somehow. So I've kept at it, and I've found that over time it's grown on me a bit. It's not completely horrible, just mostly horrible. An aquired cinnamony taste, perhaps?

FRANCE: Michelin to axe 1,100 jobs
By just-auto.com editorial team | 17 June 2009
Michelin confirned today that it would cut 1,093 jobs on a voluntary basis as part of a restructuring of its facilities as it battles falling demand from carmakers.
But the company said that it would also be investing over EUR100m (US$139m) at its R&D centre at its headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, central France, and hire about 500 people a year there for the next three years.
Michelin is expected to announce other measures to counter the global downturn in demand next week.

Pebble Smartwatch with iPhone and iOS
If your choice of smartphone is iPhone, you may be thinking that your only choice for a smartwatch is the iWatch. However, Pebble Smartwatches have always worked with iPhones, and integration has improved recently.
As stated elsewhere, the basic function of a smartwatch is to mirror the notifications from your phone, onto your watch. Once paired with your iPhone (and the Pebble app downloaded from the iTunes store), any notification that appears on the iPhone will appear on the Pebble. You can also control your music playing on your iPhone with your Pebble. This works with the iOS Music app, Spotify, Google Play Music and most others.
Starting with iOS7, you have more fine-grained control of notifications that are sent to your Pebble watch. Prior to iOS7, you had the option of receiving standard notifications such as SMS, alarm, e-mail, etc. With iOS7+, you have more integration, and choice of which notifications you would like to receive.
In numerous tests, using the Pebble Smartwatch with iPhone has shown to have negligible effect on the battery life on your iPhone.
It should be mentioned here that users of Android phones enjoy deeper integration with Pebble smartwatches, and this is down to the more closed nature of the iOS operating system. However, all of the primary functions of a smartwatch work seamlessly with the Apple mobile operating system, and Pebble offers a much cheaper alternative to the Apple watch.
Pebble Smartwatch Battery Life
If there's one thing that sets the Pebble Smartwatch apart it is the battery life. While most of the current crop of smartwatches need charging daily, Pebble smartwatches last anything up to ten days on a single charge. Following is a table which outlines the pebble watches, and their battery life:
|Pebble Watch Model
|Estimated Battery Life
|Original Pebble
|7 days
|Pebble Steel
|7 days
|Pebble Time
|7 days
|Pebble Time Steel
|10 days
|Pebble Time Round
|2 days
One thing that should be noted is that because the battery needs charging much less often than other smartwatches, the battery's useful life will be much longer (because it will be going through less charging cycles). It estimated that the lithium-ion battery in the Pebble Steel, for instance, should last six to ten years.
When a Pebble smartwatch battery is nearly depleted, the watch goes into "power saver" mode, which mutes notifications, and displays a minimal face which displays only the current time. This means that, even if you have been too long away from the charger, you have a considerable time left before the device stops functioning as a watch.
However, for those among us who wish to eke the most possible battery life from their Pebble smartwatch, here are a few tips which should help you to get the best of the Pebble smartwatch battery life:
- Pebble's built-in watch faces can be relied upon to provide the most battery life because they have been optimally designed by Pebble.
- The way that the Pebble display works is that it uses power only when it is updating the display. Therefore, watch faces that update the display the least will make the most of the battery. Many watch faces enable you to suppress display of the seconds. This can help.
- With the later versions of the Pebble operating system, applications are allowed to run in the background. This is useful for applications such as fitness and sleep trackers. Although I have personally found this to have very little impact on battery life, it is worth remembering that if you are trying to extract the very most battery life, these kind of applications will have an impact.
- Your experience with the many independently-developed watch faces and applications will vary, but it sometimes happens that you will find a rogue application which will impact your battery life negatively. If you find a sudden drop in battery life, you can try removing the watch faces and/or applications that you recently added, and load them back again one-by-one. You can usually find the culprit using this method, and avoid that application in the future.
- As stated previously, the Pebble display only uses power when it is updating the display, so the more "complications" a watch face has (such as weather updates, temperature, etc.), the more battery will be used by that application. Generally, the simpler the watch face, the less battery it uses.
- Finally, the amount of notifications you receive on your watch will impact your battery life. It is a simple matter to control and limit unnecessary notifications using the Pebble smartwatch app that is installed on your phone.
Overall, us Pebble smartwatch users have the luxury of having to worry far less than others about battery life because ours is stellar to begin with. There will be times, though, when we wish to get the most possible (such as when we are away for a few days, and haven't brought our charger cable with us). These tips should help you to just enjoy your Pebble smartwatch, and have one less thing to worry about!
What Can You Do With a Pebble Watch?
At its most basic level, any smartwatch serves to mirror notifications from your connected device (usually your smartphone) onto your wrist. This may not sound like a great deal, but you soon come to realize what a time-saver that is. Not having to fish your phone out of your pocket or bag numerous times a day really adds up, time-wise.
Of course, Pebble allows you to interact further by taking actions on those notifications. You can, for instance, dismiss a call to stop your phone ringing. You can delete e-mail messages, or open them on the phone. To give an idea of what can be achieved with a Pebble watch, I have made a couple of lists below. The first list contains native functionality, and the second contains functionality derived from apps loaded onto your Pebble Watch.
Native Pebble Functionality:
- Select from hundreds of different watch faces. A selection is provided on the watch, but hundreds can be downloaded and placed on your watch. These watch faces provide not only time, but often weather information and things like battery status, missed calls, etc.
- Read any notification which can appear on your phone (Android or iOS).
- Dismiss notifications.
- Set Alarms (watch vibrates at the appointed time).
- Control music on your connected device (start, stop, change track, adjust volume).
- Receive e-mails. You can dismiss, delete, archive, open on your phone, view the conversation or reply. Starting with the Pebble time, you can use the microphone to dictate a reply. With the original Pebble and the Pebble Steel, you can send a stock message or an emoticon, which is chosen from a list on the watch.
- Receive text messages. You can dismiss, open on your phone, view the conversation or reply. Starting with the Pebble time, you can use the microphone to dictate a reply. With the original Pebble and the Pebble Steel, you can send a stock message or an emoticon, which is chosen from a list on the watch.
Pebble Functionality with Apps
Of course, the sky's the limit as far as apps go, but here are some examples of things that can be provided by downloadable applications:
- View your calendar and agenda.
- Navigation.
- Compass.
- Activity and sleep monitors such as Misfit, Up, etc. These use the Pebble's built-in accelerometor.
- Tip calculator.
- Timer and Stopwatch.
- Weather forecast and alerts.
- Social Media Integration (Facebook, Yelp, WhatsApp, etc.)
- Sports scores sent to your watch.
- TV Remote.
- Transit/Public Transport Times.
- Uber/Lyft.
- Dialler (initiate calls on your phone)
- Control your thermostat at home.
- Pay for your purchases (such as Starbucks, etc.)
These are just a sample of things that can be achieved through applications added to your Pebble watch, and more applications are written every day.
Lastly, worth mentioning here is Pebble's ability to interact with the tasker application on your phone. This really open up a world of possibilities, and people have used this set up to do anything from sending location information to emergency contacts, locating their phone, controlling their phone's settings, initiating audio or video recording, taking photographs and even opening their garage door!
As you can see, smartwatches open up a whole world of possibilities that really are only limited by your imagination!
Pebble Watch Charging
One of the great things about the Pebble watches is their great battery life compared to other smart watches. Many Pebble watches get seven to ten days' battery life, while others struggle to make it through one day. Here's a quick tip to make it even better:
Many user have reported that if they take the watch off of charge as soon as it reports 100% (or in the case of the Pebble Steel, the charging light changes to green), they don't get as much battery life as they could. For that extra longevity, consider leaving it on for an extra thirty minutes after 100% charge has been reached. Many users have reported considerably longer battery life using this tip.

Chelsea's players have warned their rivals they will be hard to catch despite letting a win in Manchester slip for the second time this season.
The Blues were denied victory at Old Trafford yesterday when Robin van Persie equalised in injury time.
Chelsea suffered similar agony a month earlier when Frank Lampard struck in the final minutes of a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
Despite the two late lapses of concentration, unbeaten Chelsea are already six points ahead of the champions, nine in front of Arsenal and Liverpool and 10 ahead of Manchester United.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said: "It's true [Chelsea are the team to catch]. If you see the United game, it's normal that we're not happy with a point and that says a lot about the way we're playing.
"We've had two difficult away games in Manchester and have to go to Liverpool in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, we will get a good result there and then we have had a good start. We're doing very well and will try to continue like that and keep on winning."
Nemanja Matic agreed with his team-mate. The midfielder said: "It's good for our team that we're still unbeaten having gone to both Manchester clubs already, it gives us confidence. Not a lot of teams have gone nine games without a loss — we're the only team in the League to have done that this season. We are happy because of that.
"Yes, we are the ones to catch. It's a good feeling but also a big responsibility because now everyone wants to win against us, they have extra motivation. It's normal. We have done well and deserve to be in this position."
Chelsea were unhappy after referee Phil Dowd showed seven yellow cards to their players — United had just two — including two to Branislav Ivanovic.
His second came in the last minute for a foul on Angel Di Maria and with the Serbia international off, Van Persie netted from the subsequent free-kick to make it 1-1.
Much like in the game against City, Chelsea controlled possession after taking the lead through Didier Drogba but failed to make the scoreline more convincing.
Manchester United v Chelsea: Player Ratings
Manchester United v Chelsea: Player Ratings
1/24 David de Gea: 6
Made superb second-half save to deny Eden Hazard and produced a couple of other decent stops as he continued his impressive form this season.
2/24 Rafael: 5
An early booking inhibited the Brazilian's combative style, and he struggled when the superb Hazard took him on. Also lost Drogba for the Ivorian's goal.
3/24 Chris Smalling: 6
Showed good defensive instincts to cover mistakes by his fellow defenders – especially Marcos Rojo - and was generally in command against Drogba.
4/24 Marcos Rojo: 5
Always looked to pass out from the back, but it put United under pressure on a few occasions, including when he gifted Willian the ball on the halfway line.
5/24 Luke Shaw: 7
Much improved from recent shaky performances – the left-back attacked with purpose and put in some strong challenges on Willian and Oscar.
6/24 Daley Blind: 6
As is his custom, the Dutchman kept things simple with plenty of short passes and held his position well in front of the hosts' back four.
7/24 Marouane Fellaini: 7
Provided a physical presence in midfield and got forward regularly to ensure Van Persie wasn't isolated. Won the header that was spilled to the Dutchman for the equaliser.
8/24 Adnan Januzaj: 7
Enjoyed himself as he beat the Chelsea full-backs with his intelligent movement and quick feet. Constantly willing to take on his man even if it meant getting clattered.
9/24 Angel di Maria: 6
Not at his scintillating best but he never stopped demanding wanted the ball, and it was his free-kick that led to Robin van Persie's leveler.
10/24 Juan Mata: 6
A reasonable performance but hardly one that will have made Jose Mourinho regret selling him. The Spaniard couldn't produce a telling contribution and was taken off after 67 minutes.
11/24 Robin van Persie: 7
Missed two presentable chances in the first half but was a constant headache for the Chelsea defenders and deserved his late goal.
12/24 James Wilson: 5
Replaced Mata for the last quarter of the match but, aside from a looping header from the edge of the box, struggled to get into the match.
13/24 Thibaut Courtois: 7
Fine performance as usual, but was left without any chance for Van Perse's rocket of an equaliser after great save from Fellaini.
14/24 Branislav Ivanovic: 7
Nearly scored from an incredible, Messi-esque mazy run, but was then send off for clipping Januzaj for United's goal-yielding free-kick. Eventful game.
15/24 Gary Cahill: 6
Brilliant performance was ruined by losing Fellaini in the move for United's equaliser. The towering Belgian's header was rebounded for Van Persie's equaliser.
16/24 John Terry: 7
The 33-year-old showed his experience in a composed and commanding performance alongside Cahill for the majority of the match.
17/24 Filipe Luis: 5
The Brazilian deputised for the suspended Azpilicueta at left-back, and did struggle against DI Maria in his first Premier League start for the Blues.
18/24 Cesc Fabregas: 8
Carried on his fine form for the Blues in a more disciplined defensive performance. Still set the goal up though, of course he did.
19/24 Nemanja Matic: 8
A wall. Broke up waves and waves of United attacks. Every team would love to have a player of his stature guarding the defence.
20/24 Willian: 7
A slick display from the 26-year-old. Always looking to charge forward on the counter-attack and stung the palms of De Gea with a fierce drive.
21/24 Oscar: 6
The tricky Brazilian's passing was not quite at the races today, and chose the wrong option more than once. Taken off with 20 minutes left.
22/24 Eden Hazard: 9
Unplayable. Twisting and turning at truly remarkable speed. Would have got full marks if he finished the chance when clean through.
23/24 Didier Drogba: 6
Not the terrorising presence he once was and disposed of with ease at times by Rojo and Blind, but the 36-year-old was there when it mattered.
24/24 John Obi Mikel: 5
John Obi Mikel: Midfielder was brought on by manager Mourinho to see the game out for Chelsea, which they were unable to do at Old Trafford.
Courtois admits Chelsea must learn to kill teams off and said: "At City we hit the post but didn't create many opportunities after that and then against United we had a lot of possession of the ball and maybe could have done better with it.
"If you're leading 1-0, you try and control the game, but you know it will be hard to do that in England. In the Premier League 1-0 is not enough.
"Maybe in our actions up front we have to play better but we played a very good game and it's okay that we drew."
Dowd's display clearly frustrated Chelsea. Matic said: "The referee gave Ivanovic a red card but in my opinion it was not a second yellow. Now it's finished, we have to think about the next game."Reuse content

The Pop Life

'From a Distance'
Many people consider Julie Gold's "From a Distance" to be a shoo-in for the Grammy Award for best song tonight.
Composed five years ago by Ms. Gold, a New York-based songwriter who recently turned 35, "From a Distance" has sold over a million copies for Bette Midler and become something of a wartime anthem with its utopian lyric evoking John Lennon's dreams of world peace. Like Ms. Midler's 1989 hit, "The Wind Beneath My Wings," Mike and the Mechanics' "Living Years" and Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car," it is one of those rare recent songs that has struck such a deep chord with the public that it succeeded in spite of not being trendy or formulaic.
"From a Distance," which was first recorded by the pop-country singer Nanci Griffith in 1986, has now been recorded by 15 performers. Ms. Griffith's version was a hit in Ireland, and Cliff Richard subsequently had a hit with it in England. It was also one of four new selections that the Byrds recorded for their recent 90-song retrospective album, and it is one of the high points of Judy Collins's recent "Fires of Eden" album.
"The song has been interpreted many ways," Ms. Gold said in a recent interview. "I don't consider it a gospel song or a religious song. I'm not born again or anything. I'm Jewish. My mother is an immigrant whose family fled from Russia. Some people have thought that the line 'God is watching us from a distance' implies that God doesn't care. That's not what I meant. The song is really about the difference between appearance and reality, about the fact that the way things look is not always the way they are. It is questioning more than answering."
Ms. Gold, who was born in Philadelphia and graduated from Temple University in 1978, said that she had been struggling to establish a songwriting career since she moved to New York after college. Her songwriting idols are John Lennon, followed by keyboard-based performing songwriters like Laura Nyro, Carole King, Todd Rundgren and Stevie Wonder.
To support herself, Ms. Gold said, she has demonstrated toaster ovens and worked in factories that make water filters and Venetian blinds. Beginning in 1983, she worked for six years as a receptionist and "glorified secretary" for the production arm of Home Box Office.
"When I wrote 'From a Distance,' I sent it to the few contacts that had been receptive to me over the years, and all of them returned it to me," she recalled. She also sent it to her friend Christine Lavin, the folk singer and songwriter. Ms. Lavin, who is a tireless campaigner for other singers and songwriters, became the song's biggest champion. Through her, it found its way to Ms. Griffith, who asked if she could be the first to record it. It was included on her album, "Lone Star State of Mind," which MCA Records released in early 1987. From there it slowly filtered into the pop musical world.
Although Ms. Gold is still a one-hit wonder, other songs of hers are finding their way to the public. Home Box Office chose her song "Try Love" for the channel's holiday greeting between movies. And Ms. Griffith is about to record another Gold song called "Heaven."
" 'From a Distance' has changed my life," Ms. Gold said. "I feel that maybe I was granted it, that maybe I was a diligent fisherman who was granted a very big fish. Even if it's the only song I'm ever known for, that's not bad. Of course, I hope that's not the case, and I believe it's not." Fast Folk Revue
On Friday and Saturday evening, Ms. Gold and Richard Meyer will be the hosts of Fast Folk Musical Magazine 's eighth annual revue in two shows each night at the Bottom Line. The revue will feature 15 songwriters and several special guests performing their own work with a five-piece band. The performers scheduled to appear are Jack Hardy, David Massengill, Hugh Blumenfeld, Richard Julian, Frank Tedesso, Ilene Weiss, Richard Shindell, Germana Pucci, Lillie Palmer, Josh Joffen, Rod MacDonald, Judith Zweiman, Brian Rose, Eric Wood and Wendy Beckerman.
The magazine, which was founded by Mr. Hardy and has been edited by Mr. Meyer since 1986, has put out 64 records with nearly 800 songs by some 500 songwriters. Each LP includes 12 or 13 songs, but the magazine is switching to compact disks and the first will have 15 songs.
The magazine has an impressive track record. Some of the performers whose first recordings were for Fast Folk are Tracy Chapman, Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, Christine Lavin and John Gorka. 2 Successes
The two most successful albums released in the first two months of 1991 are Sting's "Soul Cages" (A&M) and Gloria Estefan's "Into the Light" (Epic). In its third week on Billboard's pop album chart, "The Soul Cages" has risen to No. 3. In only two weeks, Ms. Estefan's album has soared to No. 12. The year's first big commercial disappointment is from David Lee Roth with "A Little Ain't Enough" (Warner Brothers), which in its fourth week falls four places, to No. 22.

Walk This Way
Whether you're going out for a walk or a run, to the gym to lift weights, or to the pool to swim a few laps, the self-affirmation involved in the concept of "going out" or "going to" something for ...View Article

Measuring Body Imbalance
The supine leg check is an upper cervical chiropractic examination procedure used to determine the presence of the atlas misalignment (atlas subluxation complex). When the atlas misaligns it causes interference to the communication between our brain and body. This disturbance in communication cause the muscles in the neck and back contract more than the other. The contracted muscles cause the hips and spine to be pulled in an unbalanced position, drawing one leg "shorter" than the other.
The Anatometer is an instrument designed exclusively for NUCCA doctors. This instrument allows the doctor to evaluate the patient's posture in the standing position. The Anatometer measures if the patient's hips are tilted or rotated and will show if the patient's neck or upper body is leaning to the right or left. From this the doctor can determine areas of the spine that are under greater stress due to unequal distribution of weight on our joints.
The Balanced Atlas utilizes the Insight Millennium Subluxation Station technology for surface EMG and Thermographic testing.
Surface EMG is instrumentation in which electrodes are placed on top of the surface skin to detect electrical activity of muscles. This allows the doctors to see how the nervous system is controlling the scanned surface muscles.
Our wireless Thermography measures thermal asymmetries in skin temperature on both sides of the spine. These asymmetries are the results of nerve irritation. The nerve irritation is due to the presence of vertebral subluxation. This instrument records about 16 temperature measurements per inch scanned. The software processes the readings to come up with the actual temperature.
Surface EMG and Thermography are safe and non-invasive. Surface EMG utilizes electrodes are placed on the surface of the skin, not in the skin. Thermography uses sensors to pick up the heat coming off a person's neck. No harmful radiation is emitted and both technologies can be used on all people, including children and pregnant females.

Cassowary Scientific name: Casuarius casuarius Common name: Cassowary Physical characteristics: - 6 feet tall
- Bony crest on top of head
-Pale blue neck skin
-black feathering on body
-legs are green/gray or brown/gray
-3 toes, inner toe is 5 inches long. VERY SHARP
- Where is it found? The tropical forests of New Guinea, nearby islands and north-eastern Australia. What does an awesome bird like this eat, you ask? Other than human flesh, the Cassowaries mainly feed on fruit found on the rainforest floor.
Although, they have been know to also feed on shoots, and certain grasses as well. Habitat The tropical rainforest. Predators and position on the food chain The cassowary has no natural predators (Cause they are freakin' beasts) its eggs however, have predators, such as lizards and other birds. Humans are the Cassowary's biggest threat. As we cut down the forests we are destroying their homes. Interesting Factoids Third tallest, and second heaviest bird in the world They can sprint through dense jungle at more than 30 miles an hour The helmet-like crest on their heads are used to assert sexual dominance After the female lays the large dark eggs, she leaves and the male hangs around to guard his future predators The claws and beak on the Cassowary are so large and sharp, it is said they could disembowel a human with minimal effort The End. By:
Morgan Conservation Status The cassowary is endangered. It is estimated that there are only about 1,500 to 2,000 of these birds left. They are capable of eating toxic fruits that would kill most animals. Fungi, insects, and some small vertebrates are also on the menu for a Cassowary.

The once-automatic assumption that the US 100 metres champion would also take the Olympic or world title is a long time dead. And with the likes of Donovan Bailey, Frankie Fredericks and Ato Boldon as principal grave- diggers, you would not bet the mortgage that Greene will do a resurrection job in Athens next week. But it will not be for lack of trying.
The decision to uproot from Kansas last year and seek out the sprint star-maker John Smith in Los Angeles already shows considerable initiative, but Greene has always been a young man in a hurry. His first coach, Al Hobson, recalls taking him to national championships when he was eight years old. "I started coaching Maurice when he was beating all the kids in the neighbourhood, then I coached him in high school, and when he started college," he said.
As a schoolboy in Kansas City, Greene won three consecutive state sprint doubles, ending up with bests of 10.43sec and 21.00sec for the 100m and 200m in 1993, at the age of 18. Hamstring problems, the perennial bugbear of the sprinter, hit the following year, which he sat out while deciding also to quit college in Missouri. His re-entry to competition at the Texas Relays in 1995 had the impact of a shooting star hitting the stratosphere.
He knocked the king's crown sideways, beating Carl Lewis in a superlative, albeit wind-assisted time of 9.88sec. He showed that was no freak performance a month later when he was runner up to Mike Marsh in the US Championships to qualify for that year's world championships in Gothenburg. But he went on the skids in Sweden, being eliminated in the second round, and seeing his relay colleagues make a baton error after he had successfully negotiated the first leg in the opening heat.
Despite bringing his legal best down to 10.08sec last year, he did not even make the final of the US Olympic Trials. That prompted him to join Smith's LA group, which includes such luminaries as Marie-Jose Perec and Boldon. "It's been so helpful, we're all sprinters, and we all help each other out. Ato and I have stayed up until one o'clock some mornings, watching videos to try to correct problems in my race. It all helped me get ready for meets like the nationals."
So ready, in fact, that Greene blazed to 9.90sec, the third fastest legal time in US sprint history, when he won the national title in Indianapolis last month. His name goes on the roster behind two all-time greats, Leroy Burrell (9.85sec) and Lewis (9.86sec). But Greene went even better in Lausanne two weeks later, when he beat Olympic gold and silver medallists, Bailey and Fredericks, with another 9.90sec, this time during a deluge.
Even so, wisely, he is not prepared to make any prognostications about beating Bailey and Fredericks in Athens, let alone his training partner, Boldon. But Greene certainly feels a lot more ready for the big time. "I feel I'm ready for that sort of competition now. I can handle it a lot better."
Much was made of the breakthrough in Indianapolis of Greene and the new US men's No 2, Tim Montgomery, seeing in a new era as Lewis retired. But it might be an even younger US sprinter who makes the most impact in Athens, the 21-year-old Marion Jones, who has been a longer time coming than Greene or Montgomery - since 1992.
While the spectators' hearts and the media's notebooks and microphones in the US trials in New Orleans that year were stretching out to the decathlon world record-holder, Dan O'Brien, when he missed his opening height in the pole vault, and failed to qualify for the Barcelona Olympics, there was a barely-noticed, though perhaps equally significant, event going on across the stadium where the 16-year-old Jones was giving a glimpse of a talent that the track world would be denied for five years.
Jones finished fifth in the 100m and fourth in the 200m, with world-class times of 11.14sec and 22.58sec. But an aptitude for basketball and a propensity for injury combined to keep her off the track. Now a student in North Carolina, Jones said: "I thought that I could compete at this level in two sports; looking back I think it's impossible. There's so much concentration and focus that goes into it."
Jones was point-guard for North Carolina for three years during which they won the US Collegiate basketball championship. But then she decided to go back to track, to try to qualify for the World Student Games in late 1995. Last summer, though, at the Atlanta Olympics she broke her foot long-jumping, and did the same thing three months later. During her recuperation, she stayed involved through her boyfriend, international shot putter, C J Hunter, but only started training in earnest in April. "Even though I wasn't competing, C J was, so it was keeping me involved and keeping the excitement there."
She wasn't the only one excited in Indianapolis where, in the absence of the world and Olympic champion Gail Devers, Jones won the 100m in 10.92sec, then the fastest of the year, and beat Jackie Joyner-Kersee in the long jump. Later in Europe, she swapped victories with Devers, who will have to employ all her championship experience to stay ahead of the youngster after being given a wild card entry for Athens.
Like Greene, Jones is coy about her chances next week, saying simply: "I haven't been around like I've wanted in this sport. But now I'm back, I'm healthy and I want to run fast." With foreign competition thinner in the women's ranks, Jones's training diary could prove to be a throw- back to the old days - "took exams, won the US title, became world champ."

Following a midweek win over D.C. United, the Montreal Impact kept their momentum going on Sunday with a vital win over the Eastern Conference's top seed.
With Didier Drogba out once again, Matteo Mancosu scored in the 61st minute, leading the Impact to a 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls in Sunday's playoff clash at Stade Saputo. The win gives the Impact an advantage heading into the second leg, while the loss ins the REd Bulls' first since July 3, a span of 16 games.
Mancosu's vital moment came early in the second half. Assisted by Marco Donadel, Mancosu fired a volleyed finish past Luis Robles, scoring his third goal in his second playoff game.
Both sides generated chances throughout Sunday's match, with the Red Bulls' best look coming via a Felipe shot that rattled the crossbar. The visitors also nearly got on the board just three minutes in, but Bradley Wright-Phillips' one-on-one shot was snagged by an onrushing Evan Bush.
Matters went from bad to worse for the Red Bulls with just moments remaining, as forward Omer Damara was issued a red card shortly before Wright-Phillips missed a legitimate chance to tie the game. When all was said and done, the Red Bulls finished with eight shots compared to the Impact's 11, with both sides firing two on frame.
The win, which saw the Impact prevent the Red Bulls from nabbing a vital away goal, gives the Canadian club a vital advantage heading into next Sunday's second leg at Red Bull Arena.
His partner, Laurent Ciman, tends to get the recognition, but Victor Cabrera was vital in Sunday's win. The Impact defender made four tackled and seven interceptions to stifle the Red Bulls attack.
Goalscorers win you games, and Matteo Mancosu's 61st minute winner gives the Impact a vital advantage heading into the second leg.
Bradley Wright-Phillips was held quiet throughout Sunday's match, as the Golden Boot winner struggled to find a rhythm against a stout Impact defense.
Brain Guy
RBNY's performance was very disappointing — how can the CBs fail to mark that runner when he was simply carrying out Montreal's only offensive strategy? — but the timid/uncertain/scared referee missed three separate PK calls on the Impact: the takedown of BWP (yes, Bush stepped on his foot); the handball in the box; and Ciman's obliteration of Kljestan in stoppage time, (By the way, Damari absolutely deserved the red card, but it is worth noting that moments before Kljestan was essentially wrestled to a halt by a Montreal player.)

Bay Area Bookworms Book Club Message Board › Thanks for the meet n' greet AND new poll!
|Valerie F.
user 48528652
Group Organizer
Oakland, CA
Hi Bookworms!
Thanks again to all of you who came out to the meet n' greet this afternoon - it was really nice to get to know you all, and I'm looking forward to our first book discussion! For those of you who weren't able to attend, I hope you can join us at our future events. Please note, if you RSVP'd "yes" for the meet n' greet, but didn't attend, this will not count against you this time, since this was an open-attendance event. However, I will be taking attendance for limited-attendance events, and if you are a no-show for 3 events, you will be barred from future attendance - this is not out of any malice, but purely in the interests of keeping the group accessible to those who want to attend.
Speaking of attendance - I've created another poll up on our meetup asking which day of the business week you might be interested in having alternate events. Cher, one of our group members, has graciously offered to host an alternate meetup group during the week for book discussions that are especially popular - this will allow us to limit book discussions to a smaller group, which I've found are more satisfying (it's hard to facilitate a good conversation with 20 or so folks). So, for books in popular demand, we will host two events per month on the same book, one during the week (hosted by Cher) and one on a weekend (hosted by me, Val). Anyhow, take a couple of minutes to vote in this poll, and let us know which evening of the week works best for you as an alternate meetup if you think you might be interested in weekday meetings:
One last plug - the book selection poll will be closed at 5pm tomorrow (Monday) evening, so please make sure you vote for 3 books that you would be interested in reading for January, February, and March 2013 if you have not done so already:
Looking forward to discussing with you all soon!

It's been almost a month since my last post. I can't believe that. Time went so fast. Well but I definitely got my lesson about planning the posting schedule better the next time. It's not that I didn't feel like writing. If you followed my Instagram or Facebook, you would know that I travelled a bit thru Thailand the last few weeks. And as much as I thought I would be able to write and post while there, it did not happened at all.

My paleo baked sweets suck. I mean not all the time, but there is definitely lot of trials and errors. Cooking is so much easier. Right?

Like with this Chocolate Banana Protein Loaf which is foolproof and simple, yet very satisfying.

Britney's Dance Beat Ships; Advertising Campaign Goes Nuts
May 9, 2002 - Could May 7 go down as an unofficial holiday for Britney Spears? Coinciding with the release of her brand new dancing game Britney's Dance Beat, THQ and Sony will be bombarding as many forms of media as possible to draw attention to the young star's digital debut. One of the biggest advertisement campaigns in recent video game memory, the Dance Beat blitz is just over the horizon.
Britney's Dance Beat
May 9, 2002 - What's funny about the whole Britney Spears phenomenon from a writer's perspective is that there really isn't much substance to write about. Britney's whole appeal is very, very, very visual, very visceral, usually colored by flashes of red, some wild, fleshy curves, and a quick flip of the hair. She's young, hot, and sexy, all right. There are no two ways about that. But like I was saying, it doesn't make for too much long-term substance.
Britney's Dance Beat
April 10, 2002 - Games like Star Wars Galaxies for PC, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for PS2 and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader for GameCube were considered to be the best games of the show at last May's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, but the biggest news to come out of those three hellish days was undoubtedly that THQ had signed on to publish a Britney Spears videogame. Yes, that's right, an all-new videogame starring everyone's favorite ex-Mouseketeer and multi-platinum award-winning recording artist, Britney Jean Spears, is coming home to your very own PlayStation 2.
THQ's Gamers Day 2002
January 25, 2002 - At its third annual Gamers' Day Event, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, THQ, which once stood for Toy Headquarters, now stands for much more than wrestling and Rugrats, or for that matter, toys. And while THQ still may have a little bit of an identity problem as it straddles the line between big-name licensed games, Game Boy games and hardcore titles such as Red Faction and Pride FC, it shouldn't be worrying for much longer about it identity, the way we see things.
Come Get IGN Unplugged #9
December 14, 2001 - What's all this brouhaha about IGNinsider? What exactly are IGN subscribers getting that you're not? Watch this space each day, and you'll be the first to know what's happening on the Inside.
Britney Spears Music Video & Dancing Fat Man
November 1, 2001 - Not yet a subscriber to IGNinsider? Not sure exactly what you're missing? Then watch this space each day, and we'll give you the low down on what's happening on in the Inside.
Big Money, Small News
October 18, 2001 - It's that time of year again when game companies take a look at their wallets and smirk real big from what they see (well, hopefully -- especially since big money means more games for us.) It's also the time of year where those game makers must report their financial info to their investors and to interested media. While we weren't exactly interested in those financial statements, THQ and Activision today in their company reports did mention a few bits of forward-looking news about future games, and that makes us interested media.
THQ Signs on Britney Spears for PS2 Games
September 11, 2001 - History seems inevitably to repeat itself. As if the Spice Girls didn't send a big enough signal to game makers not to develop games based on fleeting pop bands, THQ today has announced it's signed a four-year contract with Britney Spears, the teen idol singer, to make games exclusively on PlayStation 2, the PC, and Game Boy Advance.

Cialis Professional dosage and instructions for use are compulsory to follow, otherwise the drug may be inefficient or even do harm to the organism.
My Canadian Pharmacy has two Cialis Professional available dosages:
- Cialis Professional 20 mg;
- Cialis Professional 40 mg.
The recommended single dose of Generic Cialis Professional is 20 mg.
- In case of Tadalafil intolerance, the dose may be reduced to 10 mg, 5 mg or 2.5 mg;
- If there is an urgent need, it is allowed to take Cialis Professional 40 mg once a day. In this case, it should be noted that 40 mg is the maximum daily Cialis Professional dose;
- If a person takes inhibitors of the enzyme CYP3A4, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, erythromycin, saquinavir, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone and others, the dose of Cialis Professional (Tadalafil) should be reduced to 10 mg and taken no more than once within 72 hours (3 days);
- Elderly people over the age of 65 should take Cialis Professional in the usual doses recommended for middle-aged men. That is, there is no need to adjust the dosage of the My Canadian Pharmacy drug on the basis of the men's age.
Cialis Professional Overdose
Volunteers received the drug in a single dose of 500 mg or 1000 mg several times within one day and had no symptoms of Tadalafil overdose. That is, the severity or frequency of Canadian Cialis Professional side effects were the same as in the conventional Tadalafil in low therapeutic doses.
However, if you notice negative, strongly marked Cialis Professional side effects, you need to use products that eliminate health problems.
* Do not abuse the drug! Tadalafil is recommended to be taken no more than once per day. Cialis Professional overdose will not enhance the effect of the PDE-5 inhibitor but may affect your health!
Cialis Professional Instructions for Use
- Take Cialis Professional tablets orally, drink some water after;
- A tablet may be taken without regard to meals;
- A tablet with an appropriate dose should be taken no earlier than 20 minutes before the expected sexual contact.
Cialis Professional effect may last up to 36 hours. Thus, it is possible to set the optimum time during which the drug effect is active. Then the man will be able to choose the individual time for himself when he needs to drink a Cialis Professional pill to perform a successful sexual intercourse.
Generic Cialis Professional (Tadalafil) from Canada has NOT revealed a tendency to cause priarism – a phenomenon of painful erection that lasts for a long time (several hours). However, it is theoretically possible, especially with simultaneous use of Tadalafil with other drugs from the group of PDE-5 inhibitors such as Viagra. In the case of an erection that lasts 4 hours or longer, you should consult a doctor immediately, as the untimely treatment of this condition can lead to impotence in the future. Due to the high risk of side effects or priapism, it is not recommended combining various drugs from the group of PDE-5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction treatment, for example Viagra + Cialis Professional.

based off a text post i wrote that i still think is funny (a terrible comic my hand betrays me)
some rainy days aren't all that bad
Hailee Steinfeld in the Making of Most Girls Music Video.
i serve the people.
i usually use paint, photoshop cs6, and paint tool sai, but you can do this on just ps. the reason i also use sai is to speed up the 'saving as jpeg multiple times' thing, and i think sai's low quality jpeg is lower quality than ps'. without further ado:
1. pick the text. this is the most important step, of course. for this tutorial, i will be using the text 'my nipples are fucking frozen'. i said this in a competitive match once when i was very cold. we still won.
2. pick a relevant image to use as the background. you can also use a solid colour or whatever else you want, but i think images are funnier. i'm gonna use a picture of a blizzard from google images (filtered 'labelled for reuse with modification').
3. apply the text to the image. i do this on paint because i'm fucking lazy and the kinda but kinda not anti-aliased text edges are funny to me. you can do this on photoshop. i use large size (large being relative to the image) bolded and italicized arial.
i gave myself a bit more canvas space for the next step.
4. apply the same text on top in a darker/lighter colour. i like putting it to the upper left of the original text. with ps, you can just fiddle around with the 2nd text layer to get it in the right position. with paint, you might have to try wiggling the text box a few times. it's a waste of time compared to ps but for me, it's just a part of the process making the end product funnier.
make sure your text is visible on top of the image! if it's not, no biggie, use the fill bucket or just try different colours.
5. apply an overlay on top if desired. red is funny, but it doesn't really work with what i want on this specific image, so i'm gonna use blue. it doesn't really matter because the following steps are gonna ruin the colours anyway.
i used a light blue with linear burn. i saved it as a .jpeg after this.
remember to have lowest quality. even on this small version, you can see the start to the terrible things this image is going to endure!
6. here's the fun part! you can mix these steps up, but i'll just show how i more or less usually do it. go to filter > sharpen > smart sharpen. you can fiddle with the sliders and whatever.
save the image as a .jpeg again.
7. go to filter > blur > motion blur OR filter > blur > radial blur. motion blur is the diagonal (or up/down, or left/right) blur, radial blur has both the spinny and zoom blur. you can use more than one, if you want. since my abomination is already kind of annoying to read, i'm going to be light-handed with a spinny radial blur.
wow! that already looks pretty fucking bad, but we can go further:
8. go back to filter > sharpen > smart sharpen and apply that again. you can also do more overlays and blurring.
i decided to do all of that. here it is with another blue overlay, motion blur, and radial (zoom) blur.
i changed the sharpen settings before sharpening it again. do whatever you think looks good (or bad).
here's the final image:
you can keep going, but i have stuff to do. some better baked images of mine:
i have a thing for 1. cropping the text weirdly and 2. red
other stuff you can do includes:
the beauty of this is that if you make mistakes, you can just re-bake the image, apply more effects, and it probably makes the image funnier.

Welding and Roller Derby?!? Yep! The sport has proven to be a strong source of inspiration for yet another unique profession through the work of Sarah Coleshaw, aka Curb Stompin' Coleshaw, of Saskatoon Roller Derby League, who recently debuted her new roller skate decorations at the Roll Up the Scrim to Win Invitational hosted by Plap City Rollers in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba this past January 18th. "It was exciting but nerve-racking," explained Curb. "When you create a work of art it becomes personal, it's special and private. So, when you share it with an audience it makes you feel really vulnerable; not knowing how people are going to react, being unsure of yourself and your abilities." These tensions were quickly alleviated for Curb when she found herself scrambling to keep the decorations displayed at her booth as people were buying them as soon as she hung one up. "I ended up selling about half my stock I brought with me, which is definitely a success! I didn't know how people would react or respond to them. But the response was overwhelmingly positive!"
Curb believes in reducing, reusing and recycling when it comes to producing wares for her business. She used scrap pieces of sheet metal to cut the roller skates out on a CNC Plasma Cutter Table that her father and she has in their welding shop at home. They were then placed into a tumbler, a machine that rolls the skates around with sand and other pieces of metal to clean the dross (impurities) off. Each piece was then cleaned with monolithic and phosphoric acid. The monolithic acid takes away dirt and grime while the phosphoric acid acts as an anti-rust coating. During the final steps she polishes them, cleans off any remaining dirt or dust with rubbing alcohol then bakes them in the oven to make them change color. "When you heat up shiny steel around 400 degrees it starts to turn colors, like bronze, blues, purples, and yellows. To finish, they get clear-coated and laced with metallic ribbon."
Curb is apprenticed under her father, who owns CJ's Welding, and she one day hope to run the family business alongside him. She has been working in the shop with her dad since she was fifteen years old and is now currently in the middle of the Pre-Employment Welding Program at the SIAST Kelsey Campus in Saskatoon. The Curb Shop began about 6-months ago when she started to do scrap metal art and custom projects on the side. "I would Instagram them using the hashtag #curbshop, because it sounded like workshop. And it just sort of stuck." At only 22-years-old, before entering the Welding Program at SIAST, Curb was working retail and looking for a career path. "I am artistic and like working with my hands, and university wasn't for me. So, I took a career aptitude test from SIAST online and welder was one of the items on my list. I applied for three different programs, but welding really had me excited when I got my acceptance letter. As soon as I had the letter in my hand, I picked my fate and it was sealed. I am now a third generation welder and I couldn't be happier to be on the path to a successful career."
Having played roller derby for over 3-years now, Curb is thrilled to finally have a way to combine her two passions and she feels incredibly fortunate to have so many supporters. "I couldn't do any of my passions without the support of my family, blood and derby. They are my support system, and I appreciate all that you do for me. Especially my dad, that has taught me so much and helped me tremendously in all my endeavors. He's my partner and my friend. Thank you."
If you'd like to get in contact with Curb about custom projects, or to buy skate decorations for yourself, you can either leave her a message on her Facebook page, contact CJ's Welding: The Curb Shop, or shoot her an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. "To put it simply, we can make anything. You name it, we can weld it!"
