The two actors spoke with Back Stage about winning their roles, fleshing them out, and taking them on the road.
Back Stage: How did each of you get cast?
Tongayi Chirisa: I auditioned for Osembenga. And I think it does help being African and playing something similar to the Commander's role previously. It was pretty much a natural fit.
Back Stage: At what point did they ask you to come back and audition as Jerome Kisembe?
Chirisa: They didn't tell me I was coming in for another role; they just offered Kisembe to me. This was a month later.
David St. Louis: I was going to New York to do a workshop of "Porgy and Bess," so I had to come in [early]. I had to look at the sides really quickly and figure out how I was going to get this accent. I came in for Kisembe. [At the later auditions] they only had one set of sides, and whatever you were coming in for, you were reading the Osembenga sides.
Back Stage: You had the sides for how long?
St. Louis: A day or two, trying to figure out how to put the words in my mouth, and I actually ended up giving my agent a call and saying, "I can't do both of these scenes and have the accent that I want and have it sound the way it needs to sound. If I'm going to do any justice to anything, I need to concentrate on one, so let them know that all I can do is this one, and I'll do the best I can do with it, and get on a plane." I went in, did the one, and got the call about a month later.
Back Stage: All the play says about the character is, "A pompous peacock of a man in dark sunglasses, a gold chain, and a jogging suit, struts into the bar." What did you add to make him a real person? It's a great description but not enough to show up at an audition with.
St. Louis: No, but that's pretty much all you're used to getting for any audition. You've got to find out how this character lives in you. By the time I auditioned, I brought me to the role, instead of the role to me.
Chirisa: The way I approached it, "pompous" from an African perspective, as a rebel or a government leader, I wouldn't exactly say he's pompous but a very prideful individual, one that looks to himself as some sort of a demigod because of the power that is bestowed on him. So I think my approach to him was a little more heavyset than a pompous, frivolous individual. Prideful but at the same time extremely dangerous. The African setting, and understanding what rebel leaders are, and having experienced somewhat the power of dictatorship, that's what I brought to the table.
St. Louis: It always, for me, goes back to Acting 1. I need to know what my objective is. Once I know what I want, it's colored by what my obstacles are and what my position is. I'm the head of the government, the military. Anything I say goes, because I'm going to make it go. Anything past that, "pompous" seeps in. It's a byproduct of the objective and my circumstance.
Back Stage: Tongayi, after you're cast and working on Jerome, what else do you build into him?
Chirisa: Wow. I had an understanding of who Jerome is, understanding the psyche of rebel soldiers and how they behave. It's this whole concept of believing what the right thing is in terms of coming against opposition, the government, believing what we stand for and executing that. And having no moral disposition to know what is right and what is wrong, but as long as my objective is obtained, I will do everything to get there. For Jerome's character, he was more a proactivist in terms of, "The government is wrong. I'm more for the people. So I will do whatever it takes to stomp out the life of the government's feeding off people to show them who's right in this situation." And I think the same is for the government for Osembenga; it's the same.
St. Louis: We parrot each other's lines. I'm listening backstage, and I'm going, "I just said what he's saying." We're accusing each other of the same things.
Back Stage: How did you study acting in Africa? Do you have Meisner and Method?
Chirisa: Well, I went to film school, so I was given the opportunity to learn different techniques. Growing up, when I started acting, it was more a fun thing to do that eventually, the more-established actors in the industry would just bring us in: "Here's a script, let's do this." So technically there wasn't a right or wrong. It was just like, let's experiment and see what's going on, so it was pretty much, I was thrown in at the deep end, and that's how I learned. It was only after some sort of success that I had in my country that I was finally introduced to proper techniques of acting and film school and the business side of it. This was maybe four or five years after I was already established in my country. There is a format; it's like street theater that I grew up doing, and it shaped me in terms of the spontaneous method of acting and just being good at improvising. That's my background. Eventually with the acting in film school, when they start telling you the techniques and, "This is this Method," you're like, "Oh, okay." I've been doing it, but I didn't know the technical terms for it.
Back Stage: David, you went to school for theater?
St. Louis: I went to Howard University, theater major. Before I went to Howard, I was at Oberlin Conservatory; I was a classical voice major. I decided I didn't want to sing anymore. It's a different world of people. So I left and went to Howard for theater. And to keep most of my credits, my music credits, I decided, let me concentrate on musical theater. It's been a money bet for me. I got out of school and did a lot of musical theater in New York. But while I was at Howard, I concentrated on acting. I went to Oxford for a summer to do British Academy of Dramatic Arts, had no idea what I was going to get when I was going there. Classical program? Okay, sure, I'll go. Trapper Keeper, Mead binders, they sponsored me to go over. I was doing theater in the [Washington] D.C. area, and they're big patrons of theater in D.C. They were very good to me. So I said, "Okay, this will be a good experience." I had no love for Shakespeare yet or classical theater. I said let me just see what happens. I fell in love with Jacobean drama, with Shakespeare, with everything about classical theater.
Back Stage: What are you working on in "Ruined" these evenings? What's changing, what's deepening, what have you discarded?
Chirisa: With this character, every night it evolves. You find something new. There are certain principles we have established around our characters, these are certain points our characters live in, but every day it's a different experience, the way we deliver our lives is different. But as long as we maintain the same intensity, and our point is coming across, whether that be in a very subtle but emotional way, that's great, but we still embody that heaviness of the Congo. And what we represent is the very thing that these women are trying to rise up out of.
St. Louis: You have your landmarks and you hit your landmarks. They're needed, so that other people can do what they need to do. But at the same time, I learned earlier on that it's a trap to try to repeat yesterday's show. I'm a different person. I woke up on a different side of the bed, I've got different experiences, and it's impossible. You take yourself out of the moment, out of everything, trying to do what you did yesterday. And it will never work. It's a great show for that, and every time you can still get to where you need to go and feed what you need to feed. The only thing I concentrate that much on is the accent. Sometimes your mouth will try to get lazy, and I go home and say, "Let me get these words in my mouth one more time, make sure they're going out right."
And we're still re-blocking everything.
Chirisa: 'Cause it's a new space. Much tighter. So [Kate] needs to make sure everything is clear as day. Certain moments and certain movements we had had in Seattle—
St. Louis: —will not be here at all. Some things are being completely re-blocked for me. One of my monologues in the first act, I used to take all of it to the people onstage with me. Now, because of the space, I can't turn around. I've got to take more of it [to the audience], sort of an aside. I prefer to work with people who are going to give me back what I need. But I get it, so I can make it happen.
Back Stage: Both of you are making plans to take the show to South Africa for three weeks.
St. Louis: If there's one thing an actor knows how to do, it's pack bags.
Back Stage: A lucky working actor.
St. Louis: Yeah. You live the life of a gypsy. I enjoy going and getting to sit down in a place long enough to feel what it really is, and not just go to the tourist spots, and to really live the life there.
Chirisa: Its pulse.
St. Louis: Know the people, experience the culture. So I'm always excited, whether it's internationally or inside the U.S., to go to a different place and sit down and live, the same things you do with your characters. You get a chance to sit down and live in a new character with a new set of situations and a new set of problems. You get it doubly when you get to travel.
Chirisa: I was in South Africa two and a half years, in film school, so it's home. It will be a good thing to come back and show my friends and my arts community at large what we're doing in America. And I know that they'll always support it.

Lexus says luxury crossover customers have been asking for an edgier RX and, with the new 2013 Lexus RX 350 F Sport, the automaker hopes it has answered the call. The sporty SUV had its U.S. unveiling today at the New York auto show, and features more than just a face-lift.
"This is NOT just an appearance package," said Mark Templin, Group Vice President and General Manager, Lexus Division, Toyota Motor Sales at the auto show. "It's a full-fledged performance package that has F-Sport suspension tuning, an eight-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters . . . making it faster from 0-to-60 than the base RX and it has better fuel economy."
The new eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters backs the 270-hp 3.5-liter V-6, Lexus says the new transmission has quicker shift responses. Lexus' Active Torque Control all-wheel-drive system uses an electronically controlled coupling ahead of the rear differential to vary front-to-rear torque distribution. During heavy acceleration or low traction driving, as much as 50 percent of the power can be sent to the rear wheels.
The automaker expects the 2013 Lexus RX 350 F Sport to earn EPA ratings of 19/25 mpg city/highway. That's up 1 mpg city/highway compared to a 2012 Lexus RX 350 with all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission.
F Sport suspension upgrades include firmer shocks and springs for a lower ride height and a new lateral performance damper system. The new hardware may enhance the driving experience by reducing body vibrations, increasing steering feel, and improving ride quality. The 2013 Lexus RX 350 F Sport rides on exclusive 19-inch split five-spoke wheels wrapped in 235/55 tires.
Cosmetic updates include a massaged grille for more aggressive look, new front bumper with mesh design and fog lamps, and F Sport exterior badges. Perforated black leather seats have white perforation holes and white stitching adorns the seats, center console, and armrests. Ebony Bird's Eye Maple trim is exclusive to the F Sport. An "F" logo on the steering wheel and aluminum pedals round out the interior changes.

Michael Becker and Christoph Weber, in their "Genealogien zur Papstgeschichte" volume three page 453, gives
Michele de' Medici, 9.Principe di Ottajano, Duca di Mranda
1823-1882 married to Giulia Marulli dei Duchi di Ascoli
with the remark (discendenza) it stope this line of Medici descendants.
I have two questions, does anyone have any knowledge of their children, or further descendants? My second query involves Giulia Marulli. No dates are given for her, but let us guess she is about the same age as her husband, who was born in 1823. Would she therefor be a daughter of Don Sebastiano Marulli, 6.Duca d'Ascoli, 1783-1866,
and Carolina Berio? This couple married in 1813 and their son and heir, Troiano, was born in 1817.
Many thanks

Ignore apps at your own risk.
This warning comes from marketing expert, Chuck Martin, who says this of mobile shoppers: "Mobile app users were happier with their shopping experience than non-app users. The obvious app development is to automate . . . functions and include them within the apps . . . such as price checking, coupon redemption and shopping lists."
Sure, apps are getting all the buzz today, but are people really using them to interact with brands? The People's Web Report "found that only 27% of all users regularly download apps when prompted, with many preferring mobile websites." Nielsen's 2013 Cross-Platform Report, on the other hand, indicates that mobile apps are used far more frequently (87 percent of use time) than the mobile Web (13 percent). So what's going on here? What's the priority, mobile Web or mobile app?
My answer is both.
You must provide both mobile Web and mobile app channels to consumers, but it's important for you to understand that there are different reasons, or use cases, for the mobile app versus the mobile Web. Once you get a firm grasp on those different reasons, you can prioritize, plan, and make a strong case for your budget.
In part one (link) of this series, I focused on the almost hands-down, agreed-upon first step for a mobile strategy: building a mobile website or optimizing your website for mobile. Today I will focus on the basics of the mobile app. How are apps being used? Why are they being downloaded and then ignored? And how can your organization integrate mobile apps into your mobile strategy?
Takeaway 1 | Searchers Prefer the Mobile Web
When people don't know what they're looking for and they want to cross-shop or compare brands and pricing, they'll opt to use the mobile Web. So when you think about searchers, remember that many consumers prefer the mobile Web. Consequently, you need to think about how to convert those searchers into shoppers and brand loyalists via the mobile Web experience.
Consumers Think App Downloads Are Mandatory for Mobile Web Searching
I'm sure you've had the experience of "surfing" the mobile Web and being prompted to download an app. You may want to continue browsing on the mobile site and you don't see a clear option to ignore the app download, so you reluctantly agree. Then you wait while the app installs itself onto your smartphone, when all you really wanted was to continue browsing. Sound familiar?
Industry research shows that one in four apps are never used after they're downloaded. Why is this? Here are some of the main reasons why people don't want to download apps in the first place. Searchers 1) only want to browse for information, 2) prefer websites, 3) don't want to waste time downloading the apps, and 4) already have too many apps.
As a general rule of thumb, most searchers or browsers will prefer not to download your mobile app. They're not ready for that kind of commitment. They're still looking. Be sure to integrate this fact into your organization's mobile website experience and avoid making it mandatory for your mobile users to download an app before they're ready. Let them come to you. Make your mobile app available to consumers, not mandatory for engaging with your brand.
Takeaway 2 | Brand Loyalists Prefer the Mobile App
In general, once people have become loyal customers, preferring your brand over the rest, they'll opt to use the mobile app. This group is ready for commitment. They're ready to press "Install App."
Consider these two relevant facts: 1) Apple's app store has over 10 billion downloads. That's right, 10 billion! And 2) 26 percent of new app downloaders become "loyal customers, using an app more than 10 times over the following months—and many go on to use an app hundreds of times."
The question before you as an organization considering mobile app development is this: How do you create a high-quality, user-friendly app that people will enjoy using again and again? You don't want your app to end up in the app graveyard. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, once a customer believes in your brand, they will download your app and use it more than the mobile Web. This was the case with Vail Resorts, which created an amazingly successful app that both drives loyalty and repeat engagement with their brand.
Where to Go from Here? | Build for Apps and Tablets
To inform your app strategy, make sure that you prioritize platform and device type decisions by using analytics. For many brands, the number of consumers with smartphones exceeds the segment with both smartphones and tablets. Starting with smartphones, use analytics to understand the percentage of users with iOS devices versus Android devices that are accessing mobile Web content. Then perform the same analysis for tablets. You may find interesting device choices including Kindle Fire tablets or maybe even Nook tablets. The bottom line is to build apps that reach the largest available audience while working within the constraints of your budget and resources. Remember, ignore apps at your own risk.

1328 Tasting Notes
From the queue. Our guests have gone home so it's back on track with the queue control! It was a lovely visit, and it was SO NICE in this house to be able to actually give them a room to sleep in. As opposed to before where we had to move the dining table into the lounge and put them up in the dining room, which we then had to walk through in order to get to and from our bedroom. They seemed a lot more relaxed while they were here as well, and I strongly suspect that this small detail of having an actual room with a closeable door in it and not feeling so much in everybody's way had a great deal to do with it. Never underestimate the power of a proper guest bedroom!
I bought this one with my recent Jenier order. They have LOADS of different unflavoured black teas, and one of these days I shall have to order a boat-load of their minipacks and really get Project Africa on the road. Anyway, a minipack are fairly large and their supposedly 50g pouches has proven to weigh somewhere in the vicinity of 100g so although I definitely wanted a breakfast blend, there's plenty to be going on with in a sample.
Both times I've ordered the 50g Golden Monkey pouch from them, I've received twice the amount of tea that I feel I've paid for. I'm certainly not complaining, but one of these days I'm going to have to write them and ask if they're doing it on purpose, because I feel a bit like they're cheating themselves.
Anyway, I knew I wanted a breakfast blend, but I thought I'd try one I hadn't tried before, which ruled out Irish and English. Which is actually rubbish, because I've never tried either of those from Jenier before either, so since every company seems to blend them according to their own recipe, those are every bit as new to me as this one. I put a lot of weight in a name, apparently. On the other hand, from a Scottish company it seems an appropriate place to start.
I'm not sure what's in this blend, exactly. They're being quite specific both in the description and the ingredients list, but unfortunately these two just don't entirely add up. Either way, it contains Chinese, Indian and Kenyan, and beyond that, the actual areas are more irrelevant. I love it when I'm told and I like playing Guess The Tea when I'm not, but it doesn't hold that much relevance really.
This is a pretty awesome blend. It somehow manages to be both strong and mild at the same time. LOADS of flavour, but it sort of comes in a gentle way. It's the difference between being cooed quietly awake or having a cup of cold water thrown into the bed with you. This blend is definitely the former.
It's smooth, but with an underlying edge that should support milk well if one is a milker. I'm not one. Other than that, there isn't really much to say about it. It's not really a blend that is made so that you can sit back and analyse and meditate and what-not. It's just the sort of thing that can give a good start to the day.
I could easily see myself upgrading to a larger pouch of this, but for the sake of fairness, I'll probably give their English and Irish breakfasts a whirl first as well.
I suspect it's going to be a fairly large order I make from Jenier next time I'm ordering. I'd better make sure to do it while Scotland is still in the EU! :p
From the queue. There will be a posting break of a few days now. We are having family over, and as my room becomes their bedroom I will lose access to my computer for the duration.
Another one from the EU TTB, round 2. This is one that I've filched.
The aroma is strange. Not strange-strange, but strange in that it is so anonymous. I'm not really picking anything up other than 'tea'. Perhaps a smidge of sweetness, vaguely caramel-y in nature, but that's about it. It's a fairly generic tea aroma.
Taste-wise it's the same story. It's fairly mild, and I'm not getting much out of it other than a generic tea flavour. Again perhaps with a twinge of vaguely caramel-y sweetness, but not so much as to be in any way defining. As it cools a bit, the caramel-y note becomes a little more forward, but still not in any sort of big way.
It's a pleasant and inoffensive tea, but it's not really a revalation in a cup.
From the queue
This one is from the EU TTB, round 2. I don't drink very much green tea, leaning mostly towards black, flavoured and unflavoured alike, but I'm trying to remember that there are other types in the world as well. Therefore I'm only using half of this to try it. There little use in taking all of it, when I might end up forgetting I have it.
The leaf smells very lovely of grapefruit, and it's not just generic citrus and suspiciously lemon-y, it's actual real grapefruit. The scent of the zest, rather than the flesh of the fruit, really. This is also true after steeping, although here the zestyness is softened by the aroma of the base.
This is very strongly flavoured. It tastes like eating a grapefruit, and I can't pick up the slightest hint of the base at all. I'm a bit torn about this. I like a flavoured tea to taste like what it has been flavoured with, but I also like it to not be so strong that I can only taste flavouring. This one is definitely in the 'all flavouring, no base' camp. This could have been anything. From what I can tell, it could have been flavoured water. I rather like to be able to taste that I'm drinking tea, if that makes any sense.
So I'm ambivalent on this one. It tastes lovely like grapefruit, and I'm very fond of grapefruit. But it doesn't really feel like I'm drinking tea, and this bothers me, so although it's lovely, I'm still a bit disappointed by it.
This actually makes me want to taste it even ore, because I don't think I'm a fan of greens getting in the way of flavouring haha.
From the queue
This is out of the EU TTB, round 2. Originally, my plan was to simply take this sample, but since there were nothing in my pile of things I wanted to only try that felt suitable for the morning, I decided to have a cup from the other pile. And that was a good thing, because I've put the rest of the sample back, having discovered that Cteresa actually shared a large-ish sample of it with me a couple of years ago, so it's a known tea to me.
I still wanted to try it again, though. Partly so that I can see if I still agree with myself, but especially so that I can make it part of
Project Africa!
This one comes from Mozambique, so it's been grown further South than the other other African teas I've got on the reference map so far, and quite a long way away from the Kenyan ones. It was pretty easy to find on the map, though. At least the place that I've decided it came from. The description says it's from the Zambezi region of Mozambique and near the Namuli Peaks. Having found the Peaks easily enough and starting to zoom in, I almost immediately spotted a structure that looked like tea-fields. They're easy to recognise because they grow in wavy lines. Look at the map and zoom in, you'll see. If it's not from this particular set of fields, at least it should be very very close by.
The aroma has a fair few high-grown notes in them. Spicy, grassy notes that I don't much care for, but also a fair bit of wood, which I do like.
The flavour is really quite nice. Like the Assam I had yesterday, it's very sweet. Honeyed and malty, but whereas the Assam was largely honey, this one is mostly malt. It does still have that roughness that is typical for CTCs, and I would have rather liked to have had this with larger, orthodox leaf, because I think it could have been quite lovely.
Reference map: https://www.google.com/maps/ms?msid=211803378882467968316.0004dd9c2591ff5d7d6bf&msa=0
From the queue. I think this must be the one.
Another from the EU TTB, round 2.
I'm not sure what makes this one 'original' as such. It's CTC which I find a little off-putting because I have such varied experiences with it. Sometimes it's just impossible to brew in a drinkable way. And when I say 'drinkable' I mean without having to use milk or sweetener or anything at all of any sort. A tea that requires repairing after brewing is just not a good tea.
I've ended up with something that is as black as coffee and smells strongly of honey and malt. Especially honey and also a bit like raisins. It's that sort of slightly fuzzy feeling just around the edge of the smell that honey has. It's quite a full-bodied scent but it also smells somewhat astringent.
This may require some experimentation, which is not something that I generally have much in the way of patience for. I've worked out at what leaf amount and steeping time the vast majority of black teas work for me, and anything that falls outside of that category just tends to be unnecessary work. You can't really do that with CTC, though, because it's so vastly different from the larger leaf sizes, and you never know how it's going to behave. So I approach with caution.
I still always start out with the conservative approach of my accustomed parameters, though, because you have to start somewhere. And this is what has ended up with a rather astringent note to the aroma.
It isn't actually that astringent, though. Barely at all, in fact. The flavour is very close to the aroma. It's strongly honeyed and malty, and it leaves a honey-y aftertaste on the tongue from just one sip.
As I sip, the astringency shows up, but it's still only very little and mostly on the aftertaste. I can, however, sense that honey-note all the way up in my sinuses, very much confirming that the sense of taste cannot exist without the sense of smell.
It's quite a strong tea, and if you prefer to take your tea with milk, then this should carry it nicely. I prefer not to, though, so I should probably have used a wee bit less leaf, as the bitter notes build up as it cools. Not enough to be ruining the cup, mind, but enough to be noticed.
I very much enjoy all this honey. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was flavoured with the stuff.
From the queue
This is the first Try from the EU TTB, round 2. There are so many things in this box that I need to try, and I've still got things from the first round that I haven't posted about yet. Heck, there are things from the first round I haven't even tried yet!
But I've received the second round today and so it must take priority.
I was dithering about this one, so I thought it would be a good place to start. I don't know what aronia berries taste like at all, I'm indifferent to mango-flavoured teas and I'm on the fence about rose. So I don't actually know why I'm even tasting it to begin with. Rose is… well, it's floral, but it's not downright unpleasant like jasmine is. I can't actually work out if I like it or if it's one of those flowers that are just too… floral. In general I tend to avoid floral things as much as I can. The attraction here is erm… Why am I tasting this at all? peers at cup
I can easily smell the oolong. It's a dark roasty one, which is the sort of oolong I prefer when I have oolong. Along with that there's a note that is sort of mango but not mango and floral but not floral all at the same time. Very difficult to define. I don't know if there is aronia in that one as well, because as mentioned, I don't know what they're like (I don't even know what they look like. Remind me to look it up), but I'm going to pretend that it is the aronia that makes it so difficult to define as either of the other two things. This sounds plausible to me, so let's play that I'm right.
Moving right along, then. So far the rose hasn't been off-putting as too floral, but it's quite forward and perfume-y in the flavour. This where it's a bit too floral for me, and rose is the first and last thing I taste on the first sip. Actually, it's pretty much all I can taste on the first sip.
Trying again, I get less floral and much more oolong. Again a fairly roasty tasting oolong with a fair hint of something cocoa-y. I also feel like I'm picking up a smidge of mango.
I'm still stumped on the aronia though. There seems to be a very vague note of tartness on the swallow and in the aftertaste. Is that aronia? Is aronia a tart berry?
I still don't know what possessed me to try this one in the first place, but it's a fairly pleasant cup, in spite of all the rose, so I think it must have been instinct that made me do it. I'll keep it to this one cup, though.

It's been ages since we've had an LS in the house. Well, actually, it's only been a couple of weeks since we finished the one that Bonnie shared with me, but it feels like ages. So obviously, when I shopped with Tea Palace, I thought I would have a tin of theirs. This is a type where I have no need of samples really. I already know I'm going to enjoy it, and I know for certain sure that Husband will enjoy it. So if I'm shopping for LS, I'll get a larger amount regardless of whether I've tried the one offered by that particular company before. (If I'm shopping for something else, I might get a sample, though)
This one smells fairly mild on the smoke until you pour boiling water on it, then it's quite tarry. Peculiarly after steeping it becomes quite mild on the smoke aroma again. Chameleon trick there. It's a very sweet aroma too, but I don't think it's fruity-sweet like many LS's are to me, but more sort of like I can pick up a bit of grain and malt underneath. Interesting, because these are not notes I normally associate with LS.
The flavour is also fairly mild. Not super-smoky, but again with a great deal of sweetness to it. This time it's more sort of what I would expect. Fruity-sweet rather than grainy/malty-sweet. It does have a bit of a mineral twinge to it, which I could have lived without, but apart from that it's a very nice specimen of the Lapsang Souchong race.

A white tea that should be steeped with boiling water? WHAT????!?!? O.o Courtney shared this with me and these are not her instructions. These are Butiki's instructions. There seem to be a general concensus on Steepster that Stacey knows what she's doing, so… okay, I steeped it in boiling water, although it was very nearly physically painful to do so. It was certainly mentally painful. It goes against everything I've ever learned about tea and it just felt so wrong! Not wrong as in 'oh dear, I shouldn't do this' but wrong as in 'SELF! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STAAAAHP!!!' In spite of so many people following these intructions with great success I'm still very worried that I'm about to have a very big cup of bitterness.
It smells like a black tea and it has the colour of a black tea. How certain are we that this is actually really white? I don't even understand the mechanisms behind this. How can a white tea behave like a black?
The aroma is mild, but it still smells like a black tea. A very high-grown one like a high-grown Ceylon, maybe. Not Darjeeling, I don't think, it's not grassy enough for that, but it's got that floral touch. It's also remarkably fruity. Something along the lines of apricots, I think. Quite sweet. OOOH! You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of one of those oolongs with leafhoppers! Has this one had leafhoppers?
Okay, the flavour. Still not convinced that this is going to be a pleasant experience, I have to say.
It's not bitter. HOW IS THIS NOT BITTER??? O.o I don't get this tea. I simply do not understand one iota of it. Why is it behaving like this?
It's actually quite sweet. Fruity-sweet again, like the aroma, bringing me back to thoughts of apricots. It's got a fair bit of a floral touch as well, and I'm not too keen on that, but for me it's mostly about the apricots with this tea. As it cools the floral tones get stronger, though, and I like it less.
It doesn't taste like any white tea I've ever had before. If I was served a cup of this without being told what it was, I'd have guessed a high-grown Ceylon with natural notes of stone fruits (or possibly very lightly flavoured). I certainly wouldn't have belived it was a white tea. Conundrum in a cup.
There are a number of white teas that taste rather fantastic with boiling water. To me the boiling water gives this a touch of malt. It can be brewed in 180-185F degree for 3-4 minutes as well and produces a wonderful cup. It's my personal preference to drink this with boiled water but you might enjoy it more brewed at a lower temp.
Reading this note could explain why my green tea was bitter this afternoon! I think I used too hot of water. I didn't let it steep too long, only three minutes…
I thought it was quite nice, once I got over the culture shock of using boiling water. I haven't been very keen on white teas at all in recent years, generally finding them too courgette-y/cucumber-y which rather put me off. Perhaps when next I find myself in possession of one, I'll try that with boiling water as well. I mean if I do it 'wrong' and it doesn't work, I'll get a cup I don't much like. If I do it 'right' I'll still more likely than not get a cup that I don't much like, so there's nothing to lose. :)

This one came from the first round of the European Travelling Teabox. I was right in the middle of chai-curious phase due to a pleasant one that Scheherazade had shared with me earlier when I received the box, so I nabbed this one. It's a rooibos base and it has a really interesting name to boot. How can one make something taste like cola without actually putting cola in it? How can chai spices and cola even be combined in the first place? And hot cola, how's that gonna work? I am intrigued!
Intrigued, yes, but also needing, it seems, a bit of courage to actually try it.
I have finally done so. I made a cup with half boiling water and half milk which I had heated in the microwave. Plenty of leaf in a filterbag and then a good long steep. About twice as long as I thought I would do because I forgot about it. I got distracted, you see, by writing this. As it's a rooibos, though, I expect it was only to my advantage. I've found that you can't really oversteep rooibos. They sort of level out, so the only result you get from forgetting it is that it starts to cool down.
It definitely has cinnamon in it, and in combination with the warm milk it smells strongly of rice porridge with cinnamon sugar and a lump of butter on it. (Which is very traditional around Christmas, but I tend to find it rather cloying) I also saw that the leaf had some cardamom pods in, but I can't pick up anything in that regard.
Doesn't smell particularly cola-y, I have to say. Or rooibos-y for that matter.
It doesn't taste like cola either. Again, it's warm milk and cinnamon, and a little bit of a cardamom floral touch. (Cardamom has a floral flavour, I think) There's supposed to be ginger as well, apparently, but I can't find any. Mysterious, really, since ginger is one of those things where very little can be too much for me. I can pick up the rooibos base, not so much because I can taste rooibos, but more because I can't taste black tea.
I have to say I don't think it lives up to the name at all. It's pleasant and I'm enjoying my cup, but it just doesn't taste like cola.

This one was also from Courtney, and you may remember that I had asked for either this or the Tealux Cream Irish Breakfast as I thought they sounded interesting and Courtney thought they were very similar, and also that happily she had enough of both to share with me and was sweet enough to do so. I'm therefore having this one on the same day that I had the other, so that I too can see if I find them similar.
I think it definitely smells like cheesecake. It really was the first thing that popped into my head when I first sniffed it. I'm not sure I would have got cheesecake if I hadn't known it to be there from the title as cheesecake is never really something at the forefront of my mind. I mean I like it a lot, but I have it very seldomly. I don't think Husband quite got this from the aroma, but then he also started to wonder what cheesecake actually smells like and whether it smells like anything in particular. Well, I think it smells like cheesecake. Especially the crust of one.
Not sure about Irish cream, though. I'm only vaguely aware of that, so I don't really know what to search for there. I can pick up something of the base underneath though. It's fairly malty and reminds me a bit of Assam with a smidge of that cardboard-y note. I'm surprised then to find that the base is actually a second flush Darjeeling. This is interesting because when sipping it, I'm getting zero of the notes that ordinarily makes me dislilke Darjeeling. I imagine it's a combination of it being second flush and it being tempered further by the flavouring. Perhaps it's time to investigate second flushes, and maybe also autumnal, Darjeelings? This tea makes me think I might be ready for that.
Yes, I can definitely see similarities in the aroma, apart from how the Cream Irish Breakfast smelled very much like strawberry to me (I seem to be the only one) and this one doesn't.
I can also see the similarity in the flavour, but this one has the cream more to the front and it's not as smooth as the breakfast blend. It's a little more aggressive. I have to say that tastewise it doesn't give me that same cheesecake-y impression that the aroma did, but there is something that offsets the cream note. It's sweeter than the breakfast blend, which may be the biggest difference between the two.
On the whole I agree with Courtney that they are very similar, but I must say I think I preferred the breakfast blend slightly more than this.

Scotland beat France for the second time in European Championship qualifying with a stunning 1-0 win Wednesday night in Paris.
James McFadden's spectacular second-half winner decided the game to the delight of the visiting Scottish supporters.
"It was one of the greatest and one of the most important goals of Scottish football," said Coach Alex McLeish. "It needed the passion Scottish teams always have. ...It was very difficult to get this result. We needed a special performance and the players have shown fantastic confidence."
France coach Raymond Domench wasn't so impressed with the Scots.
"It's hard to do better than that, scoring off your only shot," he said.
The result sent the Scots to the top of Group B and dropped France to third place behind Italy, a 2-1 winner over Ukraine in Kiev.
Other key results:
England picked up its second 3-0 victory in four days, beating Russia at Wembley thanks to a strong game from the makeshift frontline of Emile Heskey and Michael Owen, who scored twice.
The Czech Republic's 1-0 win over Ireland all but ended the suspense in Group D, where leader Germany and the Czechs have a nice cushion with a pair of double fixture dates left on the Euro qualifying calendar.
Poland and Finland remained 1-2 in Group A after their 0-0 tie in Helsinki. Portugal and Serbia tied, 1-1, in an ill-tempered affair in Lisbon.

We just had a reader write in a pretty amazing tip on how to make your regular K-Cups make an extra bold cup of single serve coffee.
I have a B70 Kuerig B70 and figured out how to get the extra bold effect with a regular k-cup.
Just put the k-cup in then start the 5.25 oz cycle until the k-cup just starts dripping.
Then lift the handle and let it sit for 30 seconds (or a little less) then go ahead and make the 5.25 oz serving.
Comes out much stronger this way! This method would probably make an extra bold coffee fill a taller cup and taste as good as the small size. Yum!
We've tried this and think the extra brewing time in the K-Cup does get a better extraction. This Keurig brewing tip will work in your Keurig Elite B40 Brewer, Keurig B50, Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60, and the Keurig B70 Brewer.

I just press the tea setting, let sit a few secounds after brewed. Then lift lid turn the pod so it pops a new hole then press the tea one again.Works even better.
Does this method for making a stronger cup of coffee work on the Breville machine?
Lancelot is right; you can do it without spillage. I was lifting the lid all the way up, which caused the k-cup to tilt and wet grinds to leak out. D'OH! The trick is to only lift the lid up just enough to stop the brewing. And there's no question, it does make the coffee taste stronger, although not necessarily better. It works well with Caribou Dayroast, for example, which is so light and weak that you're normally forced to use the 5 oz setting just to get any strength at all. That means you go through the k-cups a lot faster! But with this method, I can use the 7 oz setting on those "morning blends". I don't use it on extra bolds, since those are strong enough already.
The "mess/gunk" Scott talks about in his posting is completely exaggerated. I've been using this method for several months now--after having read about the method in the forums on here. I've never had to clean up as Scott claims. Yes, there might be a few specks of coffee grinds which may come out when you open the lid the first time, but no different then when you open the lid to discard the k-cup with the normal method. This is a great method and I use it all the time. The ONLY concern is that it MAY be damaging the machine when you prematurely lift the handle and stop the brewing process. It's uncertain if the unit is being damaged by doing this. If no damage is being done, then this is a must for anyone who likes a strong brewed cup of coffee.
First, I'm not sure what Bob means by "brew twice". You don't brew twice, you just lift the lid for a minute or so to let the coffee saturate (not TOO long though), then let it resume brewing. I don't know why the guy specified the 5 oz setting. You can do it with any setting, and in fact it makes more sense to do it with a larger setting, when the flavor is weaker, rather than the smallest, in which the flavor is already maximized.
Second, it does add a bit more depth to the coffee, but it also makes a bit of a mess when you lift the top. Some coffee grounds ooze out the top and slide down the top of the k-cup into the lid well. So if you use this tip, be prepared to have a paper towel handy to stick down into that well and clean out the gunk every time. Otherwise it will accumulate over time and get hard. Then you'll have a very hard time getting it out.
I'm using this method for now; it DOES seem to add a lit bit more depth, but I might not continue it if cleaning up the mess every time gets to be a drag.
Not to say this isn't a great idea, but is it really revolutionary? It's basically the same as pre-wetting a pod, just pre-wetting a k-cup..... this has been suggested a few times in the singleservecoffee.com forums..........
I wonder why I never thought of this. I knew that the larger cup gives a weaker coffee. Never thought that you could brew twice. Going to give that a try.

Catania stay at the bottom
Catania remain rooted to the foot of Serie A after being held at home to a 0-0 draw by Hellas Verona.
Last Updated: 14/12/13 10:20pm
Catania remain rooted to the foot of Serie A after being held at home to a 0-0 draw by Hellas Verona, who missed the opportunity to break into the top five.
In a tight and tense game at the Stadio Massimino, the hosts carved out the better chances but a blend of bad finishing and bad luck denied them what would have been only their third win of the season.
Hellas, who could have moved level with fourth-placed Inter Milan with a win, only managed to test Alberto Frison in the Catania goal once as they drew for only the second time this season.
Catania were full of life as an initiative offering a free additional ticket to all season ticket holders ensured a larger than usual crowd at the Cibali.
Pablo Barrientos created a glorious opportunity for Sebastian Leto in the 18th minute, but with only Rafael to beat, he shot too close to the Hellas goalkeeper.
The ball fell out for Gino Peruzzi, but he contrived to miss the target from close range.
A Barrientos free-kick was then flicked by Alvarez towards goal, but Rafael reacted well to the slight deviation to keep the header out.
Emil Hallfredsson tried his luck from 25 yards early in the second half, but Frison appeared to get his fingertips to the ball to touch it over the crossbar, even if only a goal kick was given.
It was the first time the Catania goalkeeper had been called into action, and it was practically the last too.
He raced off his line to reach a ball which was slightly overhit by Juan Iturbe in the dying minutes of a game which remained deadlocked at 0-0 in spite of five minutes of stoppage time being played.
Catania tried right to the very end, but there was no way through as Hellas frustrated them right up to the final whistle, which was met with more whistles from the fans.

All That You Need to Prepare A Budget
While creating a budget, people often end up in frustration, but creating a budget is not as hard as it may seem at first. Preparing a budget is tough when you have no idea of what your expenses should be. Most of the expenses that people have are on housing, utilities, groceries, personal care, pet care transportation taxes, debt savings & investing, communications, entertainment & gifts. Records of surveys show that people who use a formal budget to manage their monthly expenses keep a track of their finances and write down each income and expense.
To Start with creating a budget, start by making a list of all the expenses you can recall and the amount that you can spend on them. It would help you to review your history on your checking account and credit cards.
List all your income and expenses accurately. Don't round the figures up or down. Don't smudge on how much of your income goes to taxes. Don't leave things out.
Include enough categories to know where your money is going. However, too many people go to extremes in details. You don't need to necessarily track every single category, you can lump some together. Review your budget regularly to determine that you have enough categories and are budgeting enough for each category.
Track how much cash you are spending. If you are not good able to track, give yourself an allowance of cash that is all you have to spend. Try not to overspend on your cash limit for the month. We know what can and can't come out of our checking, so it protects our budget.
Consider your savings as a bill that must be paid. It is recommended to have it automatically withdrawn from your checking each month. That way, there is no way to avoid paying your savings. It is already gone. You won't spend it thinking you'll put a little extra in next month. The most important bill you have to pay is your future.
Budgeting isn't about tracking money, it is about meeting financial goals. It allows you to save for your future, for your kids' education, for vacations and other things you want to do in your life. Without these goals, there is no reason for a budget and it will fail.
Keep a look at your budget regularly to see how you spend your money. With this you would be able to look at your budget and see exactly what can or needs to be changed. You can always challenge yourself to cut costs and save more.
The only thing is that should be kept in your mind is to keep your eye on the goal and have a positive attitude that will only make your budget work. Always look at your budget as a way to find money for your future.

Off the "X"
Border Patrol blues: I would like to commend you on the excellent depiction of the Border Patrol in Brownsville ["The Bored Patrol," by John Suval, June 21]. I too am an agent assigned here and applaud you for your truthful reporting of the facts of everyday life.
I hope that you can get a nationwide news line such as the AP or Knight Ridder to pick up this story so everyone across the country can read about the truth, not the misconceptions that are presented to them by upper management.
I too grew weary of sitting on an "X" for four years, and will begin my new career as a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on July 2. I have a bachelor's degree and was tired of seeing my eight years of law enforcement experience go to waste. I would hope that you could follow up on this story and keep letting the taxpayers know where a good portion of their hard-earned money is going.

Beaching Out
A courageous family: As the father of almost six-year-old twins, I read your article with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat ["Blind Faith," by Steve McVicker, June 14]. I would like to do whatever I can -- all I can think of is to offer them my little beach house on Bolivar for a few days. All kids seem to like the beach.
Great writing -- and what courage from that whole family.

The Low Down
Best of a bad situation: Unlike the critics whose comments have been circulated in print and on the Web, I was one of the defense lawyers who provided representation to those in jail on the Tuesday after the flood ["Bargain Basement," by Lauren Kern, June 21].
Half the room was set up as a felony court, and the other half as a misdemeanor court. The judge (George Godwin) had a table set up as a bench, the prosecutors had a table, and the defense attorneys had two tables to use for consultation with clients. There was no effort made to change the room to ensure privacy, but neither did I see any effort to "eavesdrop" or otherwise violate what privacy was attempted. The actions basic to representation were accomplished, and there was neither time nor facilities to do any more.
There were no felony pleas taken that Tuesday in the basement. I did not observe much of what occurred on the misdemeanor side of the room, except that the misdemeanor judge did have a table set up and was accepting guilty pleas.
The only violation of rights I saw (and it is a fundamental one) was that the proceedings were not open to the public. However, I believe that it was more important to get the accused warned and have counsel appointed then and there, rather than objecting to the proceedings and letting them sit uncounseled and unwarned in jail for some additional time.
I didn't see any attempts to influence or coerce any defendants or defense lawyers, by either the prosecutors or judges. I didn't notice any "chaos" or anybody's basic rights being "trampled." I didn't see a "plea bargain mill" set up. What I did see was people trying to carry on and make the best of a bad situation. I'm not here either to defend or embarrass "the system," but the critics who spoke so stridently were not there, and they sound like they didn't talk to anyone who was.
Joseph W. Varela
Editor's note: Complaints from defense attorneys centered on the lack of notice about the special arrangements, the closed courtroom proceedings and the misdemeanor (rather than felony) plea bargains. Defense lawyers complain that judges continue to use excuses of an emergency situation to bar the public from these courts, more than two weeks after the flood.
Jail hell: Attorney Randall Kallinen complains about what he calls a secret court in the county jail basement. This goes on all the time at the city jail.
I was transported there when I turned myself in last October. They have regular court sessions inside the jail via television monitor, where you are given no understanding of what is happening. Groups of females are led into the male section of the jail and given a separate holding cell (there were about 15 of us who were together) until the judge was available for the "monitor court" proceedings.
We inmates were all trying to figure out what to plead. We gathered around in the tiny cell and asked each other what might happen and if anyone had ever been through this kind of thing before -- no one had.
I ended up pleading guilty when I shouldn't have. I was in jail and given no recourse, no legal help and no way to obtain help. And this is routine.

Man-ic Mauler
Fed up with sex: I noticed the PR photo of Ann-Margret promoting her debut in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas [Stage Listings, June 14], with the caption "Postmenopausal sex symbol Ann-Margret " Does this mean I can expect to see next a photo of Sylvester Stallone or Paul Newman with the cutline "postmenopausal sex symbol "? Obviously a man writes your cutlines.
A man also must have written The Insider [by Tim Fleck, June 14], "Welcome Home, You're Busted!" What exactly does it mean to keep writing that these women are "man-hungry" and looking for "eligible" males?
I am a very busy single woman and have no interest in wasting time on men, and I don't enjoy reading senseless things that perpetuate the ridiculous idea that all women are man-crazy and sex-mad. It is difficult enough to get rid of stupid, aggressive men, and they don't need any encouragement by the Press to fuel their dwarfed dreams that women are eager to be annoyed by them.
The Houston Press has many good articles by many good writers. Lisa Gray comes to mind. "Raw Roots" [by Carol Flake Chapman, June 14] was very interesting, and "Blind Faith" [by Steve McVicker, June 14] was touching.
The back pages of your paper dedicated to ads offering sex for sale to men are testimony to how undesirable men really are. The women may be money-hungry, but I doubt they are man-hungry. And it is against the law to shoot and barbecue a man. And anyway, I doubt they would be fit to eat.

I mean, let's be real: What person would call himself a news director and approve that pathetic stuff Cynthia Hunt does when it comes to bagging a rich man or woman [News Hostage, by Richard Connelly, May 17]? How in the hell is that news?
And keep on busting the chops of the Houston Chronicle. The saddest days I have are going into the store and not having the option to buy The Houston Post.
It's important that someone keep a watchful eye on the media. It's amazing how we seem to comment on everything else in the world, yet no one reports on the asinine things we do. Some media folks don't like the cold, hard truth, but I do. Someone has to keep us honest and on our toes.

We are always looking for feedback on features to be added to the VTune Analyzer. Please respond to this post with any ideas you have. Anything from new major features, to tweaking existing capabilities to extending existing functionality is fair game.
Ideas for Future Versions of the VTune(TM) Analyzer
If I do multiple runs of an activity, I need to manually associate modules for each run. It will be nice to have module association tie to the activity and each run can inherit from activity and customize it if needed.
I agree that remembering file associations would be a good idea, but I thought this already happens. When the VTune Analyzer asks to do a file association, there is a checkbox at the bottom of the dialog box that asks if you want the association directory to be part of the VTune analyzer's search list. What version of the VTune analyzer are you using?
I downloaded about a month ago. It should be 6.1. I basically manually sample for 120 seconds for a few times. And for each run, I need to manually associate code and pdb files.
In current version, each run of activity cannot fully use the performance counters and causes many unnecessary runs. It will save users's time, if future VTune can dynamic schedule the performance counters and fully use them.
Another is the issue of user interface(UI). I cannot copy the events' number in VTune UI and have to manually type them. It will be more convenience, if we can copy the events' number from UI.
My wish: Select a code block and have vtune optimize
the instruction sequence for the platform.
This kind of existed with Vtune 4.x but disappeared in 6.
Even with 9 pass of events, I was not able to get helpful info from the 'tunning assistant'.
Thats my #1 wish :)
Hi VTune gurus
As an average end-user of VTune (9.0 update 3) integrated within Visual Studio 2005, I face a small trouble with the location of the (large) sampling data which is by default located within the VTune subfolder of the VS2005 project. My source files and project settings are 'small' files that I keep on a fail-safe RAID1 hard drive synchronized accross distinct machines, and I do not like to pollute these master source dirs with large amount of volatile data I usually locate onto a separate RAID0 un-protected drive. I tried to assign the VTUNE_PROJECTS_DIR environment variable, but it gets ignored within the VS2005 environment, and I didn't find any way to redirect the sampling data somewhere else.
The suggestion is that it should be 'cheap' to check for the existing env variable and if it exists to take its value as an override to the default VS2005 poroject location.
Thanks for making this great utility available. Regards

Porsche, a global brand, consistently combines innovation and tradition. The company's history spans more than 100 years and is shaped by passion and vision. The new Porsche museum is a place which expresses the company's self-confident attitude and its high standards through architecture. Know-how, credibility and determination are as much part of the company's philosophy as are courage, enthusiasm, strength and independence. Each idea is seen as a chance to offensively tackle new challenges and to push boundaries. The museum represents exactly this position of representing exclusivity without exclusion, of reflecting tradition without forgoing the vivid exchange which makes Porsche so unique.
"The new Porsche museum represents our conception of architecture which is constantly moving in the field of interaction between buildings and their users."
Roman Delugan
The central draft concept was the translation of the versatile and vivid brand into the language of architecture. The museum features those specific conditions which the Porsche brand conveys both spatially and sensually to visitors. Drive and speed, statics and logjams can be experienced both in the building's configuration as well as through the spatial medium. The museum is an open, clearly defined place which incorporates all brand specific qualities. Here, speed and passion find their spatial equivalents and can be impressively retraced in the sensual experience. Experience and the opportunity to experience were the primary design parameters through respective spatial allocations in the basic architectural concept.
The seeming dichotomy of the architectural shape is the appropriate answer to the building's function and the exceptional position of its exhibits. The museum's conceptual design demonstrates our perception of buildings as interactive organisms, as communicating part of a whole. The consistent interaction between the building and its environment is conceived as a quality, as is a functional and practical utilisable space. The specific characteristics of the spatially definable environment are conceived as a landscape or urban landscape, its interpretation as the corporate approach.

ISLAMABAD, Jan 6: The first rain of the current winter season brings good news for wheat growers and the residents of northern parts of the country including the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
In the rain-fed agriculture areas, the Friday rain has been considered a blessing by the farmers.
"I was really upset and worried because wheat has started to grow and there was no rain in December," said Zahid Shah, a farmer in Taxila.
Whereas, for the urban dwellers rain means settling down of dust particles that was causing extra dryness in the environment.
"I had to broom the veranda and balcony twice a day due to the dust," said a housewife in the federal capital.
The residents also expressed satisfaction because the rain would reduce the prevailing throat and sinus infections caused by the long dry spell.
With the arrival of moist and cold winds, most parts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Northern Punjab receive rain and snowfall. The met office has said that the current westerly wave in upper parts of the country is likely to persist for next 24-48 hours.
As the westerly waves are gradually moving from the north and the west towards central Punjab, Rawalpindi and Islamabad have been witnessing cloudy weather for the past two days.
During this period isolated rain with snowfall was witnessed over the hills of Muree and Galiat, upper Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir.
Similar conditions are predicted over these areas and Potohar on Saturday, while rains are expected in southern parts on Sunday.
The foggy and misty conditions are likely to persist over some plain areas of Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Sukkur division while the weather likely to remain cold and dry in most parts of Sindh and Balochistan.
During the past 24 hours, rainfall recorded in various parts of the country is Dir, Pattan 19mm, Rawlakot 15mm, Saidu Sharif 11mm, Parachinar 10mm, Murree and Muzaffarabad 9mm and Chitral 7mm. Malam Jabba received 26 inches of snowfall and Kalam received 21 inches.
Meanwhile, the rain and poor visibility in Rawalpindi and Islamabad have disturbed the flight and train schedule.
The poor visibility forced the Civil Aviation Authority (CCA) to cancel eight flights from Islamabad to Gilgit-Baltistan, one each for Sakardu and Chitral. The four flights from Gilgit-Baltistan to Islamabad were also canceled. The bad weather also delayed four flights for and from Lahore by two hours.
"The rain does not affect the flight schedule but poor visibility causes delay or cancellation of the flights," said CAA official. He said that the clouds might disturb the schedule on Saturday.
The rain also derailed the train schedule. The trains from Karachi, Quetta and Lahore arrived late in Rawalpindi.

The thrown stone sank gradually into the surface of the reflection pool. It left no ripple or other trace of passing. If it had been perfectly round, this would have just been a because it was perfectly round. The young woman who caused this catastrophe did not show the least shame when the eyes turned on her.
"I told you," she said. She had not yet become accustomed to confrontation, and her voice shook.
There was a long silence. Some of us wondered what would happen to her, and others looked to our leaders for the order to seize her. But only ancient Gauz spoke at last.
"You should know." he paused with this fraction of an introduction, and coughed for a while, until his sleeve was dark with moisture. "Know that there are differences." He bent over this time and wretched air from his diaphragm so violently that specks of red spattered onto the polished stone. "Between what can be done." And paused, this time just to breathe. It was a long inhalation, full of the sweet scent of tea olives that surrounded the temple. "And should," he finished.
I found myself mouthing the word "be." I noticed I wasn't alone.
The heads of the two dozen initiates then swiveled from him to her. She didn't even have a name yet, which made the outrage incomprehensible. Of course we know her name now. Everyone does.
"You are all fools," she said. "Fools." The word was a bowl brimfull with contempt.
Gauz was very old, and knew very much. He could have made the earth open under the upstart's feet open to admit her to the core of the planet. I hoped he would. Later I understood that this was because I was envious of her.
Instead of using his power in that way, Gauz showed uncommon mercy. He advanced--hobbled, really--until he could just lift his eyes to meet hers.
The woman shook now, from head to toe. The desecration of the pool had not invoked divine wrath or brought lightning down on her head, but Gauz was a different kind of force altogether. Some things are beyond logic.
Still, she trembled but did not bow her head. She made him look up.
"Show me a fool," Gauz said, and he willed the Seven Symmetries into the space between them. The complete graph outlined itself with showy orange, glowing and dancing along the edges. The vertices sparked and called attention to themselves.
The woman who would one day be called Ede invoked a semi-group of rotation, and the arrangement began to turn in all three dimensions at once. Gauz used the opportunity to trap a subtle invocation of the Intermediate Multiples Principle, and animated the graph with its equivalent classes. Many of these were well known to us, but others served as warnings to his depth of perspicacity.
Ede ignored this altogether and demanded of the graph a new topology so severe that it shattered. This was impressive, but she seemed bothered by the the extinction, and replaced it instantly with a C40 multi-group that shifted in mind-bending ways. I had it explained to me later that it was a three-dimensional projection of a twelve-dimensional object. If I had known at the time that she could do that with her mind, I would have jumped into the pool to drown myself. But youth has its useful illusions, and at the time I thought I was anyone's equal. None of us had any idea.
The old man who opposed her intellect considered the matter for a long time. Long enough that the shuffling of feet and muttered encouragement began to tell. He straightened his body as fully as he was able, and then did something. It shames me that I don't know what. At the time I was convinced it was a Wiles-type form reduction, but the truth is that I'm not smart enough to understand it. In any event, it didn't work.
The young woman then explained to him why it hadn't worked, and the rest of us listened, but did not understand. Gauz held up his hand to slow her down, which was an admission of defeat to us. But not to Gauz, it seems. He just wanted to know. They talked, then, and we watched for a while, like ducks might watch engineers build a dam. We knew it was important, profound even, but none of us had an inkling what they were discussing.
Some of the initiates left after an hour or so, but I remained. Ede and Gauz built their incomprehensible structures in front of us, and then tore them down, or collapsed them by reduction or some new kind of transformation. No one knows.
The figure by now had enveloped them both, and it showed profane attachments to the physical frame, which they seemed to ignore. And then the Door opened. I saw it. I saw Gauz reach his hand out, and Ede smiled. It wasn't triumph, but a kind of indulgence that she showed. She wanted the old man to see the real way of things before his body's strength failed. And the Grand Tautology took him. He wanted it, but his last expression was of terror.
That young woman who became Ede then closed the figure as if she were putting away her robe into a chest. She'd done it before. Her invocations were confident and utter concentration showed on her face, but when it was over, her mouth quirked to one side. She looked around, meeting eyes. I tried to hold her gaze and shamed myself by failing.
Then she giggled like a little girl. When the mirth had passed, she reworked her long hair from the loose strands of an initiate into the spiral of a master. It was clear she'd practiced that too.
"I told you so," she said.

Ethel was born April 30, 1910, in Boise, Idaho to Noel and Emma (Nordmark) Nadeau.
Ethel grew up a hard worker. She held her first job at the age of 9 emptying "thunder mugs" in a hotel in Placerville, Idaho.
During the Great Depression, she held three jobs in Caldwell, Idaho: one as a waitress, one as a clerk at Peckam's Department Store, and one as a piano player in a dance band on the weekends. She later worked as the registrar for the Utah Council of Girl Scouts in Salt Lake City, where she would retire at the age of 73.
She married Ralph A. Evans on June 28, 1937, in Caldwell. In 1942, they moved to Bingham Canyon, Utah, where they owned Evans Bingham Drug Store. In 1952, Ethel and Ralph moved to Sandy, Utah, and later purchased the Holliday Pharmacy in Salt Lake City. They also lived in Portland and Baker City. Ralph passed away on Aug. 1, 1975.
Ethel moved to Brookings in 1995 with her only daughter and son-in-law Carolyn and Don Derricott.
In addition to her daughter and son-in-law, Ethel is survived by her granddaughters Debbie Newsome (Ladd) and Lisa Derricott, both of Brookings; great-grandchildren Shannon Johnson and Daniel Slaughter of Brookings, Mandi Newsome, Dani McLelland and Kevin Newsome all of Utah; nieces and nephews Norma Jubek of Boise, Stanley Bruce and Michele Fowler of The Woodlands, Texas, Denny Fowler of Pocatello, Idaho, and Marshall Nadeau of Boise. Also surviving are three great-great-grandsons.
She was preceded in death by her husband Ralph and her seven siblings, Eddesse Roberts, Norman Nadeau, Edward Nadeau, Leon Nadeau, Eleanor Fowler, Richard Nadeau, and Lois Straub.
A private interment will be held at W.J. Ward Memorial Cemetery in Brookings.

You can gain unprecedented access to The Royal Mint to discover the people and events behind the coins in your pocket.
In November 2017 Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh celebrate their platinum wedding anniversary.
The Royal Mint has launched a new service – The Royal Mint Secure Storage
The first coin will be struck by Prince of Wales during a visit to The Royal Mint Experience
The Chairman of The Royal Mint, Peter Warry
Stonehenge is an iconic circle of standing stones located in the English county of Wiltshire. It is the most architecturally sophisticated prehistoric stone circle in the world, attracting almost a million visitors each year from around the world.
'There was something challenging about taking a globally recognised World Heritage site, which is an historical 'stone' object, and recreating its iconic image across the face of a 'metal' coin. Although it is a tight crop and reproduced at small size it still retains a very familiar image.'
Designer Shane Greeves
The construction and development of Stonehenge took place in several phases between 3,000 and 1,600 BC:
The first monument at Stonehenge was a large earthwork or Henge, comprising a circular bank and ditch enclosure, constructed between 3000 and 2920 BC.
At around the same time a ring of holes was created forming a circle about 284 feet in diameter. These holes are round pits in the chalk, about one metre wide and deep, with steep sides and flat bottoms. They are known as the 'Aubrey Holes' after John Aubrey, who discovered them.
Excavations have revealed cremated human bones in some of the chalk filling, but the holes themselves were probably made, not for the purpose of graves, but to hold upright posts of timber or stone.
During this period, wooden structures were added to the earthwork enclosure. Excavations have revealed a complicated pattern of post holes in the centre of the henge as well as at the north-eastern entrance and southern entrances.
Nothing remains of the wooden posts and it is impossible to tell what they looked like or the function they served. Were they tribal markers, like totem poles, or were they supports for roofed buildings?
The third phase of Stonehenge embraces a period of 1000 years and is marked by a change from building in wood to building in stone.
It can be divided into 3 stages:
Today, much work goes on behind the scenes to ensure that Stonehenge and its unique prehistoric landscape are protected for future generations. English Heritage and the National Trust play a key role in this respect.
Although great strides have been made in our understanding of the original purpose of Stonehenge, we will probably never know its full significance. Ultimately this prehistoric monument remains a fascinating and enduring mystery.

Hi, Holger Wansing noted on the d-www list (see mail below) that the port pages for PowerPC are in dire need of an update because they and the links on them still refer to Woody and seem not to have been updated for Sarge. - http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/index.en.html - http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/install Holger refers to one specific item on the first page, but looking at them, I think a more thorough update is needed and that the update needs good knowledge of the port. Could you please review them and either submit patches or update?

Playing third base, Hairston fielded a chopper but spiked the throw to the plate with the bases loaded in the 17-4 split-squad win over the White Sox, pulling catcher A.J. Ellis off home and costing Minor League pitcher Ethan Martin an unearned run.
The 35-year-old Hairston reportedly had some arm or shoulder discomfort earlier in Spring Training but missed no time. Mattingly would not speculate on whether Hairston is trying to play through an injury, but he said the club would "look further into" Hairston's status.
Hairston was on the disabled list last year for three weeks with a hairline fracture of his throwing wrist sustained when he was hit by a Dan Haren pitch.
Hairston was signed to a two-year, $6 million deal to replace Jamey Carroll as a backup middle infielder and was valued by the Dodgers because he has the unique versatility of also playing all three outfield positions and third base.
