Hooking up my Speakers and Headset at the same time?
I have two audio jacks in the back of my computer. I just bought a headset today and no sound is coming through them and I just want to be able to play sound through the speakers and the headset at the same time. I'm using windows 7. Can someone please walk my through the steps and help me with this! Thank you!

Depends on your PC and what audio I/O jacks you have. The GREEN jack is the Speaker (or can be used for headset or line out). If there is a second Speaker/Line out jack you could use that, however most new systems only have extra output jacks for surrond systems and that won't do you any good.
If you have a headphone jack on the front of the PC, and again depending on what you have, some systems have a sound control panel and allow configuring either both the front headphone and rear speaker are both active or the headphone jack cuts off the rear speaker (usually the default mode).
Post some system specs, or better yet fill in the My System Specs so we know what we are dealing with.

LOTRO Project Day Two: A roleplaying fallacy
To begin I would like to start by saying "day two" does not mean actual physical days, just when I get a chance to make a write up, I have actually been playing for 3-4 days, and have spent about 15 hours in game so far, so not too bad.
So I was on a quest for a Hobbit, to go collect something like pipe-weed or some such. When I arrived on the scene there was another person standing next to the quest NPC. I went up to the NPC and did my usual RP deal and started speaking to the NPC saying responses to the NPC as it it were a real person. In the past this has engaged some interesting and humerous responses from people, making for some good roleplaying. This time however was different, because the approach to the speach with the NPC was serious and not humerous. The person standing next to me turns and say's "Are you talking to the NPC like its a real person?" and I replied "O cut the odd talk, Elf! What is an NPC?". The man then said to me...
"Dont even try to play this off, that is just wierd!" and walked away. So lesson one folks: choose your roleplaying wisely, and do not make bad roleplaying by making situations akward for those around you.
Another Fallacy of todays roleplaying experiance for me was when I was engaged in a conversation with an obviously better and more skilled RPer in disagreement. I spoke as if I were a bandit, brigand, what have you, because in game I am a Buglar. Well at the end of our long arguement I said to him "Well good sir, you certainly have the same honor and are as venerable as I". Then in front of the crowd he said in OOC: "Honor? Your class is Brigand, all you do is Steal shit! and stab people in the back!". Of course the OOC laughed, so did I, it was funny!, Also it was a further sign that my roleplaying was simply not what it should be, and that I was not getting deep into my character, and showed that most of my RP was actually Forced, and did not flow right.
Being an actor myself I took this to heart as a time to start back at the beginning of my character and kind of look as his small beginning and try and see where he was at now development wise. I say this because in theatre you must often make up a backround or a destination for your character to further his motivation. Today I had no motivation, I was simply doing some "Bad Acting" or "Roleplaying" in this instance.
I don't think he was a better roleplayer. A better roleplayer would not have used the word "class" as it was used, and definitely wouldn't have used the word "shit" anywhere. Not to mention that it doesn't seem like either of you actually have read the books (if you want to roleplay, i do suggest reading the books to get most of the lore down, and how to act and behave in middle earth). Bilbo Baggins was a "burglar", and he's one of the most honorable characters.
And you really should have designed a backstory to your character if you want to seriously roleplay. Which it doesn't sound like you have.
It makes it harder to roleplay in the game without an official roleplaying server. But i believe the unofficial rp server is Landroval, though it has been around a year since it had been deemed the rp server, so it could have changed.Sat Sep 06 2008 7:12AM Report
He wasn't better than you, as a matter of fact he's worse.
Here is why, his idea of a arch type is just the cliche of them.
He had no idea of the factors of Bilbo being considered great because he had honor.
I played a burglar for a very long time and came to many conclusions that people are just dumb. They niche these roles into typical arch types.
So what your burglar has a different goal in life than just being captain cliche.
No I should think a role player would allow the person whom they rp with to have their certain method and go with it. Rping is give and take. Much like improv acting.
But then again my nerdiness role played man years before giving up on the art.Sat Sep 06 2008 3:12PM Report
Do you guys understand what OOC means? Astropuyo, you can't say he was "worse" because he pointed out something OOC. That doesn't make any sense. His comment might have been a bad assumption but we won't know without seeing how the conversation went between the two. Either way, it was still OUT OF CHARACTER and has nothing to do with how he roleplays.
The same goes for you Koddo. He said "class" and "shit" OOC. Why judge his roleplaying on something he said OOC? You don't.
Anyway, on topic, I don't think you should worry about making situations awkward for other people Roosevelt. RP makes people feel uncomfortable all the time. Just because they don't show it, doesn't mean they're enjoying it. I RP with people all the time just because I don't want to be rude (when they initiate it). It still makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when they're bad at it. The thing is though, I can just ignore you or walk away if I really want to.
Actually WoW
I never said anything about him saying something OOC as being worse.
I said he was worse for the sheer linear mindset he had.
Basically this guy assumes a singular arch-type for characters and they must go by it.
Kindly read context before firing off assumptions.
Now that you understand the context of what I wrote it should be more than obvious on how it makes sense.Sat Sep 06 2008 8:19PM Report
Roosevelt stated "Another Fallacy of todays roleplaying experiance for me was when I was engaged in a conversation with an obviously better and more skilled RPer in disagreement."
You responded, "He wasn't better than you, as a matter of fact he's worse."
Then you went to point out his flaw based on what he said. Everything that was mentioned in the blog about what he said was OOC, so your comment was directly responding to something he said OOC.
Nice try.
Simply because it's obvious as he rp'ed with person the person was not into the belief that his character was what he wanted to be.
Regardless if he said anything in OOC , hell the sheer fact he stated that in ooc alone lets a good guise as to the skill of said RP'er.
A rp'ers main skill is the ability to dispel disbelief with another player for that moment. To act and accept that is the way the person RP's.
Once again Context is your valued ally here.
So in case I haven't once again summed it up, I'll go simpler.
Roosevelt is rping with said person, this said person has already established in his mind a SINGLE arch type for a Thief class, never mind the millions of stories about honorable thieves .
Roosevelt loses his characters influence with this session DUE to that.
Very little chance to grow Role playing bonds here as Roosevelt is in essence just a dumb brigande with no honor, this is how he must RP in this persons mind.
This said person is not as good a rper for that simple mindset.
The conclusion and ending could only be made at final which was the OOC part.
Nice try, I suggest picking up a issue of "Context Weekly" you can usually find it at your local cluemarket, it's right next to the "lern2reed" music store.
Sat Sep 06 2008 9:40PM Report
Well, you missed one of my major points. Without actually knowing the conversation that took part between the 2 characters, we don't know if perhaps Roosevelt had established his character as the archetype that was described, via roleplaying. Which means that you're whole point is based on a huge assumption. We don't know, and maybe he is narrow minded, but the blog does not give us enough information to arrive at that conclusion. That's why you shouldn't judge his roleplaying skills based on something he said OOC. You have no context.Sat Sep 06 2008 9:48PM Report
See what you aren't getting the the obvious conclusion of the players mindset which was in fact spouted OOC.
You are arguing for the sake of it, it should be rather obvious with the information at hand .
The ooc part is the surmise ,the gift of the gods so's to speak and shows the mentality of the PLAYER not the character.
In otherwords, god forbid you play differently or rp differently this person has already land locked your character into a cliche archtype.
Thats why he's not a better rper, and in fact worse.
I've rp'ed with these types of people back when I rp'ed and it was like this
Cleric:Has to be holier than thou and priestly
Mage: Mysterious and sarcastic
Fighter: Either honorable and noble or a savage.
Thief: You just steal from people. (Back stab wasn't in UO where I rp'ed)
I have plenty of experience with players like the one Roosevelt rp'd with, enough that I can actually form a simple assumption based on him taking it to OOC with that comment.
Why not in the fashion of RP use his character to say those things, atleast then it would be the characters opinion.
I.E "You are a brigande, what honor" or what-have you.
Thats what makes him a rather crappy rp'er
I have plenty of context, you just want to validate a point and thusly refuse to see it. Which is okay, thats human nature.
Sat Sep 06 2008 10:22PM Report
Funny, I read it as Roosevelt thought this guy was a better RPer and it was his own narrow definition of the honorless backstabing type brigand, following the steriotype you pointed out that prompted the ooc comment, as a way of telling Roosevelt in a jesting way to step up his RPing by not following lame stereotypes, which even he had to admit was funny if embaressing and unkind.Sun Sep 07 2008 7:28PM Report

Tribe to be cautious with Asdrubal's sore wrist
Tribe to be cautious with Asdrubal's sore wrist
Cabrera started at designated hitter in Sunday's game against Minnesota. But he left in the seventh inning because of the same soreness.
The injury doesn't appear to be serious, Cleveland manager Manny Acta said, but the club will approach the situation cautiously.
"He had X-rays [on Sunday] and got checked by their [the Twins] doctor. Everything looks normal," Acta said. "It's something that he had last week and it bothered him [Sunday] swinging the bat."
Cabrera originally experienced the soreness in batting practice prior to the team's game against the Rangers on Sept. 8 and was scratched from the lineup as a result.
The All-Star shortstop is hitting .267 with 14 home runs and 56 RBIs in 128 games.
"We're going to give him a day and wait and see," Acta said. "We're not going to put him out there until he's ready to play."

Opinion: Here's the passport to a fitter NHS: be a health tourist
UP WENT the cry of "over my dead body". The front-page story in yesterday's Times that the Government is planning to bulk buy more private care for patients provoked the ritual negative response from the unreconstructed NHS lobby. Equally depressing was the Government's furtive approach; it should have been proudly trumpeting its plans and thinking more widely.
It simply is not true that buying in private care is a sell out of NHS principles, nor that it is a mere sticking plaster that cannot make much difference to waiting lists.
Five years ago a constituent who was going blind contacted me. It would be at least a year before an NHS consultant could see him by which time his cataracts would have destroyed his sight.…

This is a continuation-in-part of my previously filed Application Ser. No. 800,434, filed May 25, 1977 and now U.S. Pat. No. 4,113,307, issued Sept. 12, 1978, which in turn was a continuation-in-part of my previously filed Application Ser. No. 680,766, filed Apr. 27, 1976.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to means for permitting a wheelchair confined person ease in transportation, and more particularly, to an insert travel chair with certain improvements over and above my previously filed Application Ser. No. 800,434, filed May 25, 1977, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,113,307, issued Sept. 12, 1978 which is hereby incorporated by reference. My previous patent application and the instant application are directed to an insert travel chair which may be placed within a conventional chair or conveyance and public facility seat.
2. Prior Art
The prior art has been discussed in my previously filed patent application. In addition, reference is made to the prior art cited by the Examiner in the previous application.
The instant application has as its objects those recited in my previously filed application, together with certain additional features which will be appreciated from the description below. Specifically, the instant application is directed toward the following:
(1) The ability to fold the insert travel chair for ease in transporting and storing.
(2) The adaption of a head restraint.
(3) The provision of spring-biasing means for urging the rear legs of the chair in a generally ground engaging direction.
(4) The provision of means for easily removing the wheels of the chair.
(5) The ability to pivot the front handles in a vertical and/or horizontal direction.
(6) The ability to easily remove and adjust the footrests.
(7) The provision of spring-biasing means for positioning the rear handles.
The above objects are accomplished by providing the travel chair of my previous application with a back pivotable both forwardly and rearwardly and pivotable underneath the chair to form a generally triangular arrangement for ease in carrying and further providing detachable wheels for use of the chair in automobiles and the like. The chair further includes a pair of spring means for biasing the rear legs in a rearward direction and means for removably securing and adjusting the footrests, as well as spring-biasing means for urging the rear handles in a locked position. Finally, front handles are pivotable in a vertical direction and a head restraint is provided.
The above and other objects of the invention and advantages thereof will be understood from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the insert travel chair of the instant invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the chair of FIG. 1 seen partially in cross-section;
FIG. 3 is a top section view of the chair taken along lines 3--3 in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a view partially in cross-section of the chair in its folded position;
FIG. 5 is a segmental view, partly in cross-section of the chair illustrating the folding feature;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a head restraint for the chair illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a detachable wheel for use with the chair;
FIG. 8 is a detailed perspective view of one front handle used with the chair illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 9 is a fragmentary side view of the front handle shown in FIG. 8 in its upward locked position and in phantom in its extended position;
FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view of the removable footrests;
FIG. 11 is a top section view of the footrests taken along lines 11--11 in FIG. 9;
FIG. 12 is a detailed view partially in section of the rear handle; and
FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines 13--13 in FIG. 12.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, an insert chair 1 is seen positioned in a ground engaging position and having a seat portion generally at 3 and a pivoted back portion seen generally at 5.
A seat 7 and a back 9, both made of conventional cushioned material, are positioned onto a frame of the chair 1 and will be discussed in detail below.
The seat cushion 7 as seen in FIGS. 1-3 includes an opening 11 therein. A seat insert 15 is positioned within the opening 11 and pivots about a hinge 16 located toward the front of the seat. Attached to the insert 15 is a lock mechanism 17 which includes a sliding member 19 having a handle 21 engaging a member 23 (FIG. 2) in a conventional manner. Thus, the lock 17 will hold the insert in the closed position; however, it may be moved downwardly about the hinge 16 so that the unit may be positioned over a toilet without having the occupant transferred out of the unit onto the toilet. It will be appreciated that the insert 15, swinging toward the front will permit the chair to slide over the toilet from front to rear with the seat out of the way of the toilet as seen in dotted form in FIG. 2.
The seat cushion 7 is positioned on a pair of forwardly extending seat frame members 25 which are joined together at the front end by a transverse member 27. A pair of downwardly extending members 29 are connected to frames 25 and 27 and reinforced by gussets 31. A pair of straps 33 are seen secured to the downwardly extending members 29. These perform the function of holding an individual's legs in place, and also will hold a pair of leg rests 35 (discussed in greater detail below) in a substantially vertical position.
Also attached to members 29 are a pair of caster wheels 37 which are removable as seen in FIG. 7. The caster wheels include a wheel 39 rotatably positioned in a yoke 41 having an upstanding member 43 thereon. Member 43 includes a grooved portion 45 adapted to engage a conventional vertically slidable lock sleeve member or a conventional snap-in member 47 having spring-biased ball bearings or other locking means therein which will be biased into groove 45 whereby the caster wheel can be pushed into a cylindrical opening in member 47 and locked in place in a substantially conventional manner and can be removed by exerting a pulling force on the caster wheels 37. On one of the pair of members 47 is a downwardly extending locking element 49 (see FIG. 1) which limits the rotation of one wheel so that the chair can easily be pushed in a straight line without sideward movement, yet is able to be turned and go into an aisle between two rows of seats.
The pair of footrests 35 are attached to downwardly extending members 29 as seen in FIGS. 10 and 11 by means of a bracket which comprises a pair of front members 51 having a pair of semi-cylindrical grooves 53 therein conforming to downwardly extending cylindrical members 29, as well as a pair of complementary rear members 55 having a pair of complementary semi-cylindrical grooves 57 therein. The front and rear members have aligned openings 59 therein, the front members 51 having threaded portions in their complementary openings. A plurality of thumbscrews 61 are inserted through openings 59 in the rear members 55 and screwed into complementary threaded openings and members 51. In this manner the leg rests can be easily removed or adjusted vertically along members 29. Front members 51 are joined by a rod 63; whereas, rear members 55 are joined by a rod 65 which in turn forms the pivot for the footrests 35. The rod 63 further acts as a stop limiting the distance the footrests 35 can extend downwardly. When the chair is inserted into a conventional seat or folded as seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, the footrests may be pivoted upwardly.
Forming a part of bracket 47 are a pair of forwardly extending yokes 71 (FIGS. 7-9) to support a pair of front handles 73. The yokes have a pair of holes into which a pivot pin 75 is inserted through a complementary opening in handles 73. A second pin 77 is inserted through a front opening 79 as seen in FIG. 8 and cooperates with a hole 81 in handle 73 to retain the handles in a forward direction as seen, for example, in FIGS. 1-3 and 7.
It will also be appreciated that the handles 73 can rotate as seen by arrows 83 in FIG. 7 by journaling bracket 47 on downwardly extending members 29. These pivoting and/or rotating handles are used in cooperation with other handles on the back of the chair to be discussed below for lifting the individual while in the chair. It will also be appreciated that the handles 73 may be stored in a vertical position as seen in FIG. 8 and further as seen secured to a clip 85 in FIG. 9, or alternatively can be rotated in a longitudinal plane and stored between downwardly extending members 29 as is done in my previous patent application.
A transverse bar or rod 91 extends between parallel members 25 and includes a pair of upstanding back support members 93 pivoted thereon. Further, a roller 95 also rotates on rod 91. A rear leg means 97 comprising a pair of downwardly extending members 99 joined by a lower bight member 101 is also pivoted on the rod 91. As seen in FIG. 2 the rear leg 97 is biased by a pair of members 103 including a cylinder 105 pivoted to a seat cushion support 106 on a pair of brackets 107 and having a spring-biasing member 109 therein. Connected in the cylinder and abutting the spring 109 is a member 111 attached to a piston rod 113 which in turn pivots on a cross piece 115 on the rear leg 97. By pushing rear leg 97 against the spring-biased force of spring 109, the rear leg can be positioned underneath and substantially parallel with the seat member as the unit is slid over a conventional seat.
As seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, and further discussed below, the entire unit can be collapsed into a triangle. The various pivotal connections on rod 91 can be accomplished by means of brackets attached to members pivoted thereon. Obviously, bushings can be inserted in each bracket to facilitate the pivoting action.
As seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, a bolt lock mechanism is seen comprising a pair of first tubular members 121 attached to rear frames 93 and a pair of front members 123 secured to frame members 25. As will be more clearly seen in FIG. 5, a bolt 125 having a handle 127 is spring-biased by a spring 129 into the opening in tube member 121. A slot 131 provides means for the bolt to slide forward and rearwardly. The slot 131 is substantially L-shaped and includes a shorter leg 133 for facilitating locking the bolt in the forward position. When the bolt is in the forward position, the back may pivot as seen in FIG. 5. The pivoting back is utilized for several purposes. First of all, it conforms with the back of a seat which may be reclined and on aircraft. Further, it is always opened so that the seat may also pivot forwardly with the seat back in case of a crash. Secondly, the bolt will be in the position seen in FIG. 5 permitting the back to be pivoted as illustrated by arrows 135 and 137 so that the unit may collapse into a triangle seen in FIG. 4 for ease in carrying and storage.
Reference is now made particularly to FIGS. 12 and 13 wherein a pair of swinging and pivotable handles 141 are secured to the back frame elements 93, elements 93 being joined by a top cross-piece member 143 (FIG. 1). Each frame element 93 has a lower collar 145 and an upper collar 147 non-rotatably secured thereto. Between the collars is positioned a rotating sleeve 149 to which is pivotally secured at 151 the rear handles 141. A spring 153 surrounds the members 93 and is positioned in a lower cup 155 of the lower collar 145 and in an upper cup 157 in rotating sleeve 149. Rotating sleeve 149 also has a pair of spline members 157 which cooperate with a plurality of detents or slots 159 which depend from the upper collar 147. The handles are locked in the position seen in FIGS. 12 and 13. However, in order to rotate the handles to another position, other than rearwardly extending, it is necessary to push down on handles 141 and sleeve 149 so that the splines 157 clear the bottom of the slots 159. The handles then can be rotated to a front position where they may be either used to push the chair rearwardly if the handles are extended or can be pivoted downwardly to rest alongside the back cushion 9 and out of the way. The handles may also be rotated to various positions in accordance with the number and location of slots 159.
A lower torso seat belt is seen at 161 and an upper torso seat belt is shown at 163.
A headrest is incorporated with the unit as seen in the exploded view on FIG. 6. The headrest includes a generally U-shaped member 171 having a pair of complementary downwardly extending U-shaped portions 173 with aligned holes 175 therein. The downwardly extending U-shaped members 173 are rounded at 177 to conform to the upper cross piece 143. A pair of thumbscrews 179 may be inserted into the openings 175 and can either be threaded therein or can have nuts on their ends to hold them in place. Frame 171 has a T-shaped member 181 pivotally mounted thereon around arrow 182. Another U-shaped member 183 is positioned within a transverse opening in member 181. A thumbscrew 185 is used to permit the rotating adjustment of U-shaped element 183 around arrow 186. Positioned on element 183 are a pair of head engaging padded members 187 which may be mounted by ball and socket means to element 183 so that they can better conform to the head of the individual in the chair. Obviously, various modifications of the head restraint element can be provided.
A typical operation or utilization of the device will be seen from the description set out below.
If one assumes that an individual is arriving by car at an airport, train station, bus station, theater, school or the like, the unit may be positioned in the car or bus with the wheels 37 thereon. However, if the car has a low seat, the wheels 37 may be removed. The person arriving at his destination is seated in the insert travel chair substantially as seen in FIG. 1. The rear legs 97 are normally in the ground-engaging position, and the footrests are also seen as in FIG. 1. It has been found that the rear leg means should remain in what may be referred to as the ground-engaging position while pushing the individual therein. In this way, if it is necessary to stop for some reason, the legs readily engage the ground. The unit is moved with the person therein by slightly lifting on the handles 141 and pivoting them on wheels 37; the rear legs are thus raised slightly off of the ground. The handles 141 will have been raised to the position seen in the various figures of the drawings, and the splines will be in engagement with the slots or teeth by means of the springs 153, thus assuring that the handles will not rotate. The individual can be moved by one person to a seat, or alternatively, since the chair is between 12 and 16 inches in width, it can be inserted into another wheelchair, and the individual can propel himself around in a facility.
When the unit is placed in the chair, the arms 141 will be rotated around to the front and dropped downwardly so as not to cause an obstruction.
When it is desired to have the individual board an airplane, bus or go upstairs, the individual is rolled to the particular point, and the front handles 73 may then also be extended. One person takes handles 141 and the other person takes handles 73, and together they lift the person up a flight of stairs or the like. When the unit has reached the level of the seats, be it auditorium, plane or bus, the unit can then be pushed down the aisle to the assigned seat. Because of the width of the unit and particularly because of the pivoting wheels 37, it is possible to roll the unit into the seat aisle either sideways or straight in and then pivot the unit. It will be appreciated that the handles 141 can be rotated to any position to assist in the manipulation of the individual. For example, when the roller 95 is placed against the edge of the seat, the handles 141 can either be used to pull the person into the seat or rotated to the front, and push the person and chair back onto the seat.
If it is necessary for the individual to use a lavatory, the same procedure can be used with the aid of the rotating handles 141 so as to manipulate the individual onto the toilet with the seat insert 15 in the open position seen in dotted lines in FIG. 2. The roller 95 is placed on the edge of the toilet seat, and the unit is pushed rearwardly with the handles 141 in the forward position. Again, because the width of the unit is normally only between 12 and 16 inches and the depth is no more than an ordinary seat, it is possible for an attendant to move around the unit.
Discussion has been made above with regard to storing of the back handles 141, but, as was discussed above, it is possible to store the front handles 171 either vertically or horizontally.
While the invention has been described, it will be understood that it is capable of further modifications and this application is intended to cover any modifications, uses or adaptations of the invention following in general the principles of the invention and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which the invention pertains, and as may be applied to the essential features hereinbefore set forth and as fall within the scope of the invention or limits of the appended claims.

Short update on Bárðarbunga volcano at 02:12 UTC
Earthquake activity continues in Bárðarbunga volcano and shows no signs of slowing down. Two swarms have appeared in Bárðarbunga volcano system. One is at location called Kistufell, while the second one is at the south-east part of the Bárðarbunga volcano. Increase in earthquake activity in south-east part of Bárðarbunga volcano seems to increase harmonic tremor. I am not sure why that is. As of now (when this is written) no eruption has been confirmed in Bárðarbunga volcano, the volcano is under glacier so confirmation is difficult at best.

286 Tasting Notes
Last night, I was asked by a friend to bring teas to my farm, for a house concert to celebrate my mom's birthday. He is relatively new to tea and says his favorite tea is chai, which was slightly disappointing to me since I am not such a fan.
Anyway, I brought this because it smells amazing and has a very thick feel, and I thought he might appreciate it. He did, quite a lot, and so did another of the guests at the show. Yay!
Okay, so since I wasn't very excited about this one the first time I tried it, I mixed it with Jasmint this time to try for a slightly less artificial flavor. The fake-y strawberry was toned down a bit, so that was nice.
I cold-brewed my leaves as well, and drank that this morning. Still way better cold, but nothing I'll ever be ordering again.
I finished off my sample of this one today. It's not bad, but it's not for me. I am glad I had the chance to try it, though. And there are more than enough Butiki teas that are on my must-order list, it's nice to have at least one that isn't.
Courtney sent me a sample of this one the other day, and I had it after my lunch this afternoon.
Hot, it was fruity and refreshing, but it's definitely not my favorite. I much prefer Lime Gelato. However, it got better as it cooled, so I'm going to try it cold later. It's currently in a jar in my fridge. I'm expecting to prefer this one as an iced tea, I think.
Guayusa + Santa's Secret = happy Jessi. That is all.
This is a very warm and cozy cinnamon honeybush. I think if it wasn't called 'Cinnamon Roll' with the promise of some kind of delightful baked-good flavor, I would have really enjoyed it.
As it is, I'm drinking it and wishing I could taste more than just woodsy cinnamon. It's yummy, especially the second steep, but I definitely don't taste anything 'roll'-y about it.
Thanks for sending it my way, Stephanie! I am so glad I got to try more honeybush blends. :D
Okay, so I feel pretty much the same way about this one that I do about Blueberry Crumble. Delicious cake-y flavor, but not so much fruit.
I don't really care, though. I'm not that picky. It's buttery and smooth and not too sweet, it's a yummy tea.
Off to prepare a second steep!
Mmmmm, this is so good.
Creamy and lightly minty and just… delicious. I am SO looking forward to trying Graveyard Mist, because if this is good, I imagine GM will be amazing.
Hurry up, mail! Dammit!
I had this again last night, for the first time after leaving it out overnight in my closet. I don't know if it made as much a difference for this one as it did for Marshmallow Treat, or if it's just that I'm not a huge fan of the cacao nibs or something. I do enjoy drinking this one, though, but mostly because I love the roastiness of the genmaicha.
I definitely think I prefer honeybush to rooibos.
A couple weeks ago, I blended up my own Pina Colada tea – Coconut Oolong, Pineapple Oolong, and Buttered Rum. This has that same kind of flavor, but with an extra warm woodiness from the honeybush. It's quite lovely!
Also, it's caffeine-free… which my blend definitely was not. Hahaha! Thanks for sharing, Stephanie! This is yummy. I'm going to go have another cup.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Jconnect Seattle, Seattle, WA, USA
I have been a member of Hillel since 2001, and a member of Jconnect since 2005. They do an amazing job reaching out to students and alumni from the UW and beyond. They bring dynamic and diverse communities together, year-round, not just on key holidays. I especially love the classes they offer and the reasonable cost of the class (yoga for $7!? An all-day cooking class for $10?!? Fabulous! Madness!)
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Kind and helpful... willing to reach out to anyone - Jewish, different religion, straight, gay, Veteran, student, family member, and more!
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About once a year
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Products purchased from your favorite stores often involve distribution from a variety of sources. Getting a product to the market largely requires an effective marketing channel for companies that manufacture durable goods and other products. A supply chain typically features various middlemen between the manufacturer and the consumer, such as distributors, wholesalers and retailers.
Distributors frequently have a business relationship with manufactures that they represent. Many distributors maintain exclusive buying agreements that limit the number of participants or enables distributors to cover a certain territory. The distributor becomes the manufacture's direct point of contact for prospective buyers of certain products. However, distributors rarely sell a manufacture's goods directly to consumers. Wholesale representatives and retailers generally find distributors to buy products for resale.
Wholesalers generally buy a large quantity of products directly from distributors. High-volume purchase orders typically improve a wholesaler's buying power. Many distributors provide discounts for a certain number of items purchased or the total amount spent on merchandise. Wholesalers acquire merchandise, such as telephones, computers, bicycles, clothing, televisions and furniture. The goods are frequently destined for retailers.
Retailers consist of small and large for-profit businesses that sell products directly to consumers. To realize a profit, retailers search for products that coincide with their business objectives and find suppliers with the most competitive pricing. Generally, a retailer can buy small quantities of an item from a distributor or a wholesaler. For instance, a retail merchant who wanted to purchase a dozen lamps could contact lighting distributors to inquire about pricing.
Raw materials that become finished products are an important aspect of a manufacturer's operation, but the selling process must stay on pace with the production schedule or the manufacturer could end up with too many items. Distributors often place large orders for some items, such as bicycles or infant car seats. The main differences among wholesalers, distributors and retailers are based on the entity's business model and objectives toward merchandising. Some business operations may manufacture and sell products on a retail basis directly to consumers. Using market research, communications skills and established business relationships; wholesalers, distributors and retailers can create strategies for business success.

This white refrigerator door handle is just over eighteen inches long. If the hinges are on the left side of your refrigerator, then this handle becomes the freezer door handle. Made mostly of plastic, but also of a little metal, this handle has a strip of metal up one side for decoration.
This part works with the following brands: Amana.

I removed the screws holding the old, cracked handle in place, and used the same screws to affix the new handle, which fit perfectly. The whole job, including a bit of cleaning to remove the scuzz that had built up around the top and bottom of the handle over 13 years' time, took about 5 minutes. Note: the screw at the bottom is covered by a small plastic tab (easily removed by prying, gently, with a screwdriver), which doesn't come with the new handle, so if covering the screw matters to you, don't break or lose the old one!
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Inserted the glass shelf into position - very easy. Replaced the broken door handle. Note - the screws that held the handle in place and a plastic insert that covered the screws were not included with the repair parts. Fortunately, I had kept the old ones. Otherwise, the repair was very easy.
I removed the 3 screws that held the handle on refrigerator, then cleaned up the grime before putting on the new handle, which fit perfectly. The only complaint I have was there were no new screws with the handle. I am a single woman and this was a very easy project for me. I am very satisfied with the product, and with the fast delivery.
I removed the old screws, removed the handles and replced the handles with the new handles
unscrewed the side rail and rotated it to remove it from the rest of the assembly. Then ran the humidity tape through the new one and screwed it on. put it back in the ref and put the glass back on and the drawers and it was done!removed the old handles and replace with the new. It was all very simple.
Both handles had become unsightly. Cleaning with various household products failed to restore the white appearance. Use of stronger solvents softened the finish material and made the stain permanent. Replacement of the handles appeared to be the only remedy.Snap-in covers on the sides of the handles had to be popped to reveal screws, one under each cover. Two other obvious screws were removed. The Amana logo plate had to be removed by un-bending two retention tabs, flipped over, then re-installed. The parts supplied do not include new screws or screw covers, all of which have to be re-used.
Removed the old handle, did a little clean-up of the refrigerator door, inserted the new handle and used the old screws to secure it. The fit was perfect.
Removed old handle. Cleaned area. Installed new handle. Remember to save small cover at bottom of old handle.
removed the three screws, removed the broken handles, put the new ones in places and screwd the screws that iI had removed back in place. it was very very simple
First I removed the old handle by removing the 3 screws holding it in place. There are 2 on the top and 1 at the side of the door. When I began to put the new handle on it became apparent that the metal frame inside the handle was not aligned perfectly with the old screw holes. The plastic is not even with the door horizontally on the top, but it fits otherwise. Be careful not to over tighten the screws when installing. Pretty easy overall.
removed 3 phillips jead screws. removed old hangle. cleaned around the site of old grime./ smile. positioned new handle, applied the 3 screws, tightened, and " whalah" like new.
Hi unscrewing the screws and replace the handle very easily with an electric screwdriver very simple process.
Not a difficult fix but clearly a design flaw in the handle itself.
Replacement was extraordinarily easy. It took about 5 minutes, including the time to find my tools and put them away after I was done. As others have warned, only the handle itself was shipped. The trickiest part was being careful not to break the little plastic cover at the bottom of the handle when I pried it off. Apparently a screwdriver under any edge would have worked okay. There were three Phillips-head screws (replacements were not included in the package!) - and that was it.
I used a phillips screw driver to remove the screws. The toughest part was removing the lower screw cover so that it could be reused. Piece of cake!

Oh how I love Armin Strom — the man and the brand! Though I've never met "the man", I have had the good fortune of meeting one of his watches — the Armin Strom Blue Chip Skeleton — talk about eternal love for a watch! As for Armin Strom the man, well, I recently received this video from the folks over at Armin Strom (via Totally Worth It) and thought it was worth sharing. It is a nice "start to finish" of a hand-skeletonized, hand-decorated Armin Strom Square watch (a white gold Ref. 77, I believe). Also, my aforementioned video review of the Armin Strom Blue Chip Skeleton watch is also posted below for your viewing pleasure.

Highland Free School is unlike most others in Tucson.
Visitors to the elementary at 510 S. Highland Ave. are greeted by the school's dog.
What follows is the sound of chickens or goats.
Highland was opened by Nicolas Sofka in 1970 as a private school that was part of the education movement that encouraged a more free-form approach to schooling. Highland is now a charter school.
Sofka, who received a degree in business at Long Beach State, decided to move to Tucson to open a new school with five of his friends, and thus Highland Free School was born.
Sofka located a building he wanted to use as the school, which still stands as the main building. This building, according to Sofka, once served as barracks in Fort Huachuca and was trucked in. When he came across it in 1970, St. Ambrose Parish was using it for religious services.
From then until about 1980, the building would switch from school on weekdays to religion on weekends.
Sofka said he wants the students to learn how to be self-disciplined and self-controlled.
Christina Brouduer had three of her four kids attend Highland. Brouduer said the low student-to-teacher ratio has led to a higher sense of community.
Brouduer's daughter, Leawna, 21, said the sense of community at Highland was different from that at a public school. Leawna Brouduer, who is graduating today from the University of Arizona, attended Sahuarita High School.
The school's sense of community has led to a more comfortable learning environment, she said.
There are no formal grades, students learn together and aren't rushed to move onto new subjects or lessons if they aren't ready.
"As a teacher we have so much more flexibility in teaching what we need to teach," said Teresa Rodriguez.
"We follow what the state says we have to follow for the standards, and we make sure we cover everything we need to cover.
"But we don't have a textbook as a timetable. As a teacher we can create our own curriculum and make it work for our class at this time and modify everything we need," she said.
Rodriguez has been teaching at Highland for 12 years, and said one of the things she enjoys most is the low student-to-teacher ratio, about 12 to 1.
"We don't have to worry about kids slipping through the cracks because we see all the cracks," Rodriguez said.

Psychedelic space rock and panoramic expressions. Gospel choirs and 18-month mixing sessions. Hundred-piece orchestras with their sweeping strings. These are a few of Jason Pierce's favorite things. Or they were.
A major departure from 2001's ambitious, massively orchestral Let It Come Down, Spiritualized's fifth studio album (which arrives barely two years after its predecessor -- is Mr. Spaceman actually getting prolific on us?) mostly foreswears the usual overdubbed pomp for the crackling energy and true-to-the-moment emotion that can only come from five guys and a handful of guest musicians hashing out a tune in the morning, recording it live in the afternoon, and possessing a fully finished track by bedtime. On record as having been inspired by the hit-it-and-quit-it recording habits of the White Stripes, the quintet pushed itself toward a completed disc after just three weeks of work -- or roughly the same amount of time Pierce normally spends obsessing over the tone quality of a French horn in post-production.

Amazing Grace is half searing-guitar boogies in the vein of the band's classic "Electricity," half tender, numinous ballads, and its scarcity of elaborate symphonics reveals what long-time fans have always known: Pierce is damned good at writing unique, soulful, memorable songs. The blistering "Never Goin' Back" and "This Little Life of Mine" outgarage practically any "Return of Rock" band of the past two years, while "Oh Baby" and "Lay It Down" are as divine and blissfully transcendent as anything the band has ever recorded. Compared with the epic scope of Spiritualized's previous outings, Amazing Grace is like a well-penned haiku: far simpler but no less profound.

Album Rating: 3.5I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but I had to wait till exams were done! The first two reviews were great but I feel they overplayed how great the album was.
agree with this review the most but i like it a tad more than you i think
Album Rating: 3.5yeah, when I start listening to it I love it, then after the Rakes Song, I start to completely lose interest. Then everytime I'm thinking of listening to a Decemberists album I end up choosing Crane Wife over this.
Album Rating: 4.0See, everyone complains about the last part of the album being boring, but I think that's when it gets really good. Of course, I thought the Crane Wife sucked balls, so I'm in the minority anyway...
ya the crane wife destroys this
Album Rating: 4.0Why? It's incredibly, incredibly boring and uninventive...
WRONG WRONG SO WRONG do you like dick
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offclassic classic classic
good review
Album Rating: 4.0
The second half simply ruins what had been for the most part, an excellent album.
Luckily the second half features the excellent "The Rake's Song", an up-tempo rocker, the previously mentioned "Annan Water" and the fantastic "The Wanting Comes In Waves/Repaid".
I was at a music store the other day and debated picking this up. I went with The Arcade Fire's Neon Bible instead. Is this worth getting?
Album Rating: 3.5Yes, I put those songs as the "saving graces" along with the closer, there are still five other tracks of what's mostly repetitive and boring low-grade Decemberists stuff (compared to some of their better work).... I do see what you mean, I'm making a slight alteration that would probably clean that up a bit.
Also, I realize concepts albums have this tendency, but you can't use that as an excuse.
Shiska, I would say it is worth getting. For all the bad things I say about the album, there's still a lot of really good stuff on it.This Message Edited On 04.21.09
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off
I went with The Arcade Fire's Neon Bible instead.
arcade fire rule too
Album Rating: 3.5Arcade Fire are never a terrible choice. Comment is void of reason.
Album Rating: 3.5So I just started listening to this about 10 minutes ago... and now I've decided to listen to something better. I say "album" too much in this review.
the retelling of Annan Water is certainly interesting

The National Front in France has suspended a politician who called Christiane Taubira, the country's black justice minister, a "monkey" who she would "rather see in the trees than in the government".
The apparently racist outburst by Anne-Sophie Leclere, a mayoral candidate in Rethel, in the Ardennes, north-eastern France, is an embarrassing blow to Marine Le Pen, the leader of the party, who has threatened to sue anyone who describes them as "extreme Right".
On her Facebook page, Miss Leclere, 33, who runs a fishing shop, posted a montage of photographs placing a picture of a baby monkey, with the caption: "At 18 months" next to one of Miss Taubira, with the caption: "Now".
Quizzed by Envoye Special, an investigative television programme that unearthed the pictures, she said that it had "nothing to do with racism". But she went on to say: "To be honest, I'd rather see her in the branches of a tree than in the government. Quite frankly, she's a savage when she arrives with a devilish grin. But it's not racist."
Miss Taubira, from French Guiana, did not react immediately to the comments.
But anti-racism groups seized on it as a sign that "we can see the real face of the Front National".
The party has summoned Miss Leclere to its disciplinary committee.

Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH)
The fight for commercial aircraft orders has lead aerospace manufacturers to seek competitive advantage in two significant areas: fuel economy and increased passenger comfort. Consequently, today's aerospace engineers are more concerned with noise measurements than their predecessors were. By improving interior sound quality, engineers increase passenger comfort and the desire to fly in next-generation airliners. In addition, by reducing exterior noise, the designer can improve the aircraft's acceptance in urban settings where air traffic is growing rapidly.
Polytec vibrometers are the cutting-edge choice for leading aerospace companies eager to make NVH measurements on their newest aircraft.

We watched Chicago run away with the division title, Western Conference top seed and, by virtue of Bestern/Leastern Conference Logic, the President's Trophy. But we dared not deem this a year to "rebuild." This is a year to re-arm. Re-load our arsenal. Led by Captain Z and Pavel the Magician, an unrelenting, undying fight has been instilled in the core of our youth. Now it is time to test that resolve in the ultimate rite of passage, best of seven (or race to four, as Babs would say) against the Stanley Cup favourite Chicago Blackhawks.
And for those of you who are fans of theatre, what better opportunity to see the Hawks' stars than in their newest playbill: Chicago on Ice!

On his first visit to Africa, Pope Benedict XVI is expected to praise the Church's invaluable work on the continent and offer welcome words of encouragement.
He will also draw attention to the numerous challenges Africa faces, such as tribal conflicts, poverty and corruption.
The Holy Father's first stop will be Yaounde, Cameroon, March 17-20, where he will present Africa's bishops with a preview of issues to be discussed at a Synod of Bishops for Africa to be held at the Vatican in October. Then, from March 20-23, the Holy Father will be in Angola to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the evangelization of that country.
The Pope's presence on the continent is being eagerly awaited by many Africans, whatever their nationality.
"A papal visit is always a wonderful period of grace for us in Africa," said Archbishop Ignatius Kagaima of Jos, Nigeria. "The Pope is a father, and we have high respect in our cultures for fathers, [so] we will receive him with such joy."
Archbishop Kagaima believes Benedict XVI's visit "will infuse more dynamism in the Catholic faith and create a greater sense of the universality of the Church — that we are one big family."
Faith Is Flourishing
The Pope's 11th apostolic voyage outside Italy comes at a time when the Church is flourishing in Africa.
The latest statistics show substantial increases in ordinations, up 27.6% during 2007. Moreover, the Church is highly valued by Catholics and non-Catholics alike for its work and solidarity with those most in need.
After years of poor governance and corruption, missionaries, Church leaders and laity have, in contrast, been beacons of hope, often offering a powerful witness to the Gospel through heroism and self-sacrifice.
The Church has brought a wealth of medical services, education and other resources and been at the forefront of HIV/AIDS care.
According to many citizens, the Church has transformed life in villages and towns.
However, the African Church today is still relatively young (in most of sub-Saharan Africa only 200 years old), so the Pope's visit is being seen by many African Church leaders as an important step in deepening and strengthening the faith on the continent.
According to Msgr. Fortunatus Nwachukwu, head of Vatican protocol in the Secretariat of State, a problem underpinning most of Africa's ills, and which the Pope is likely to address, is tribalism.
Ethnocentrism, he contended, is responsible for 60% to 70% of the continent's problems, such as ethnic conflicts, nepotism, corruption, acting with impunity, and mediocrity.
"This problem is so acute and widespread that, in different regions, even the Church is not spared," Msgr. Nwachukwu, a Nigerian, wrote in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano March 2. "Such ties and ethnic feelings run so deep and are often overly sensitive that any measure that tries to overcome them tends to trigger strong opposition."
But he added that perhaps it is "precisely this opposition and resistance with which the Church should deal through the message of the Gospel if we are to foresee a future of reconciliation, justice and peace."
'Useful Reminder'
The Pope's visit to Africa will come at a good time to draw attention to poverty on the continent. "It will act as a useful reminder during this period of economic hardship," said one diplomat at the Vatican, speaking on condition of anonymity. "It will be helpful that he is visiting just before the G20 summit in London later this month and the G8 summit in Italy in July."
Another issue of concern is the rise of radicalism, both among Muslims and evangelical sects. However, many African Church leaders believe the Church should respond by bolstering the faith, which will help remove fear of these groups.
In Africa, what often appear to be religious conflicts are mostly based on a deadly mix of conflated tribalism and politics. And, in many cases, these problems have been overcome, such as in Ghana, Tunisia and Botswana.
The choice of Cameroon is also symbolic: It was there, in 1995, where Pope John Paul II proclaimed his post-synodal apostolic exhortation Ecclesia in Africa. The publication became widely considered to be a road map for the modern Church on the African continent.
Angola, where Portuguese is spoken, was chosen partly because the world tends to pay less attention to non-Anglophone or Francophone African countries.
Pope Benedict XVI will arrive in Yaounde at 4 p.m. local time on March 17. The next morning, he will pay a courtesy visit to President Paul Biya. There, or in other discourses, he is likely to press for an end to government corruption, which Cameroonians describe as their second deadly virus, after HIV/AIDS. He will then meet local bishops, followed by vespers in the city's basilica.
The following day, March 19, he is scheduled to meet with the country's Muslim leaders, celebrate Mass and present the Instrumentum laboris (working document) of the upcoming Synod of Bishops for Africa. Later, he will meet disabled people at a rehabilitation center in the city.
On March 20, he leaves Cameroon and arrives in the Angolan capital, Luanda, shortly before 1 p.m. In the afternoon, he'll pay a courtesy visit to President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, give a speech to diplomats, civic and political leaders, and then meet with bishops of Angola and Sao Tome.
The next day, the Holy Father will celebrate Mass with bishops, priests, men and women religious, members of Church movements and catechists of Angola and Sao Tome in St. Paul Church of Luanda.
In the afternoon, he will give a discourse to young people. On Sunday, he'll celebrate an open-air Mass, and then in the afternoon meet with members of Catholic movements for the promotion of women.
He is due to leave Angola for Rome at 10:30 the following morning.
African Church leaders like to point out that the vast majority of Africans live peacefully with one another.
Some have questioned why the Pope is not visiting any Anglophone countries on this visit. However, the Vatican says the reasons are both practical and symbolic.
An official pointed out that the Pope will be visiting both a central and southern African country and that Cameroon is also a bilingual country (English and French).
"The Pope would have loved to visit all corners of Africa," said one official, "but it is logistically impossible to visit more than two countries."
