123 Tasting Notes
Story Time: Had my first guitar lesson today. I have been take bass ones for years, but I want to learn how to better compose music and play guitar. The guitar teacher my dad told me about is perfect for that. I can't wait for next weeks lesson.
Tea Time:Made up a big two steep combine batch today. I love this tea when it has been in the fridge and cooled downed. I put in a bit more leaf then normal though and noticed a stronger astringency taste. Next time I will reduce it back.
Story Time: I finally got my Iggy Pop and the Stooges CD in today. I got the original Raw Power CD; before it was horribly remixed. It is a lot less over buzzed and pushed unlike the new one. I just wish I could play it louder so I can get the full effect, but I think my mom is starting to doze off; it is 9:20 PM.
Tea Time: I don't think I used enough for my first steeping. I tried first using my teaspoon, but I don't think it will work for this tea. It didn't have right color and hue has it did online
Steep 1: The smell of the brew is like earthy flowers. First sip was spicy. Almost like cardamom. Next sips are not as spicy, but they sort of cool your tongue and have this buttery floralish taste to it. Is this a maltyness I taste? definitely a product of the ageing, since white tea never has this. This almost taste like a white chia tea. I can taste cloves.
cooled: More maltyness and clove appearing with a buttery floral after taste.
And all this was from not using enough leaf!
Steep 1.1: This almost smells like a black tea. It's earthy and malty smelling.
This taste malty for sure. It has a sort of spice to it and with a hit of clove. Very smooth and leaves a sweet, crispy floral taste on the tongue. It is almost like a black tea minus the coco or darker bite black tea has.
It has cooled down some now. It isn't as sparkly or quite as floraly, but the malty is showing through more. Going to put this in the freezer to cool it down more…
Way more malty. I can still taste a bit of clove. This is not crispy anymore, but more smooth and buttery. It is like a black tea without the astringency or darker tones. SIP: do I detect some clovey coco? Hmmm….. I can't tell if I like it cool or hot. Must test more
Steep 2: This smells almost like coco….. MADNESS! The liquor is Yellower as well.
hmmm… I can't taste an uber difference. Though it cooled a little more that I liked. This is starting to have an unusual mix of black and white tea quality's. Malty, clovey, earthy, sweet, tingly, floral, crisp. SIP: I made sure to try to breath in and sip. I am getting the faintest of coco malt from it. My tongue feels like it has a pinch of spice put on it, but not heat spice, sting spice.
more luke warm/cool: less flora sparkle, but more malt.
Later on: My tongue almost feels the same way after I drank the zhu rong. Sort of savory and cyan.
Cold: More of a malt taste with a strong clove and earthiness. It seems that when this cools it gets more malty and aged flavor. It also seems to have a bit of spice sort of to it. SIP: wow really strong malt and clove. Like a punch to the face. Not sure if I like it or not.
Steep 3: Seems more sweet and floral with clove malt mixed in. Dang, I burnt the tip of my tongue. I hope this doesn't hurt my tasting. SIP: Still seems more floral and crispy with less malt. It seems sort of i don't know, grainy… ricey. It's luke warm now. Malty grain is there, but with what seems to be a bit more floral.
Cold: Not nearly as clovey as the other cold brew. It has a little bit more noticeable floralness to it. Very sweet and sliky. It almost seems to have a strong earthy malty……and even coco like after taste. I would say that the taste is more of a expected white tea, but with the maltyness of dark tea. Definitely taste more grainy as well. Interesting……..
Steep 4: Smell more floral
Starting to get more of a classic white tea taste. Very crispy floral and has a hint of clove. SIP: Still more expected white tea taste, yet slightly deeper.
More luke warm now. I am getting a bit more malt and semolina flavor. It also leaves a sweet and savory after taste. SIP: The clove and malty is becoming more pronounced. My tongue still has this spicy tingle on it. I am also getting some honeysuckle as well in the after taste
I am noticing Luke warm is more like a mix of it being hot and cold; it is a lot less clovey.
Cold: The clove once again is very pronounced. However there is hints of other floral flavors as well. Also the malt and more pronounced. There is more a of a lingering semolina flavor in the after taste. SIP: Still VERY CLOVEY. I'm not sure if I like this when it is cold. The clove can get to be sickening.
Ok by this point I think I am tea drunk and sick. I didn't eat anything before I started, since I thought it might hurt my pallet. However I hadn't eaten anything in a while. Ugh, my stomach hurts a little and my eyes feel glazy. It is because of this that I decided to stop and eat some pretzels and do a weird brewing session. Sometimes with teas like this I will brew them for a long time to extract all the liquor from them and get a supper over infused cup. I know this sounds blasphemous, but sometimes it works…… sometimes it doesn't.
Steep 5: After brewing for 25 minutes in a makeshift gaiwan in about 8-9ish ounces:
This smells is like a black tea…..hmmm
With no sweetener: The liquor color is a clear light brown…. Interesting. This taste like a black tea, but with clove and not as deep, and with a little astringency.
Sweeten with agave: Taste more like a black tea, but the bitter astringency is gone. It's definitely clovey. It is like black tea, but less strong, yet not washed out. A lot stronger coco malt as well. Very smooth…
Overall I am very intrigued by this tea. It has such potential that when I can I am going to buy a cake to age it more to enhance its flavor. I must say that the whole time I was tasting this though I kept thinking how this would taste if used for a chai or with a added fruit flavor. Something to help complement its' profile.
P.S. The Liquor become yellower with every infusion. Also the wet leaf smells like a black tea with bits of coco.
I would recommend this to pu'er lovers and white tea lovers
Unrelated: This is one of my favorite songs from the Album I bought
Used a mug covered with a saucer as a gaiwan; and would pre heat before brewing.
Water amount: About 6 ounces for all but the last infusion.
Leaf: um I think 5 grams, or close to that.
Steepings: Fallowed the directions from the site except for the last one.
Sweetener: non except for the last.
Very complete notes. Love the time you took. (maybe the only thing I'd do is eat some bread,crackers or rice before so your stomach doesn't hurt!) Good review!
Story Time: School is still going pretty well, even though I don't have a lot of time to make tea like I did over the summer. meh… I am kinda mad that one of my graphic design classes is a dud. The teacher doesn't really know what he is doing./rages\ At least the other ones are good.
Tea Time: I have had this sample from Azzrian for a while, but kept forgetting to post a note about it.
The smell of this is your typical nice and true EC smell…hmmm. The liquor is more of a brownish color then red; and smells like a typical EC. This one is defiantly more of a light EC flavor. It does have a sort of odd sour aftertaste. Overall it is a good simple Earl Grey. Not spectacular, but good and simple.
Overall I would recommend this to someone who likes lighter Earl Greys.
P.S. This song has been stuck in my head lately for some reason. At least I know got around to buying the album…
P.S.2: Thanks Azzrian for the sample
Water: 28 ounces
Pot: Glass
Leaf: 3 tsp
Sweetener: almost 1 tbsp for a 10 oz mug
Story Time: School just started up again last week. I think this semester won't be too bad. Most of the classes I have are in graphic design. It has been raining and gray for the past few days now thanks to the storm out in the gulf. I don't mind the rain(I like it), but when i goes on for so long I get sooooo lazy.
Tea Time: This awesome sample was from Will Work For Tea
Being a coconut lover I was really excited to try this tea. The smell of this is like smelling a bag of sweeten coconut flakes…..YESTH! The leaf makes a really nice reddish liquor as well. OMG This smells and taste like drinking sweeten coconut shavings mixed with cream. IT IS SOOO GOOD!!! The only thing that is holding it back is that i don't really taste the pie crust or something like that.
Overall I would highly recommend this to someone who is a coconut lover.
P.S. You can get two good steepings from this.
Leaf: 2.5oz
Water: 28oz
Pot: Glass
Sweetener: about 1 tbsp light agave per 14 oz glass
Story Time: Well I have experienced food poisoning for the first time. I ate some of my left over stir fry that I think was a day or two past prime. For that night and to late after noon I was suuuuper nausea's. Luckily I felt good enough to eat tonight, but man that was not fun. I think I am going to wait to make my stir fry again though for a while.
Tea Time: My Verdant tea order came in today. Even though I was not going to buy any more tea so i can get WHO tickets, as soon as I saw the email from Verdant Tea saying that they had sample sizes, the impulse was just to great to ignore. This one was the sample sent with it. It is funny cause I was planning on trying this one, but was going to have to wait due to money constraints. Maybe David is psychic…
The tea leaves look really interesting. I have never seen white tea look like this before; then again i don't normally drink white tea. The smell of the leaf is light, but crisp.
I was a little nervous when I noticed that the liquor had no color when it was done brewing; but i had to remember that this is white tea of course. The liquor itself smelled crisp and a little dewy….ohhhh.
The first sip of this warm was good, but not OMG! However, I figured this would be better cooler then warmer so I let it set for a bit. I am glad I did. This tastes soooooo refreshing. Very sparkly on the tongue and taste like dew off of pine needles, and taste like how a summer rain smells. The after taste is great. It leaves this cooling dewy sensation in your mouth.
This is a highly addicting tea. I have been make a half and hour long brews from this tea. I am leaving the rest in a mug to cold brew over night to see what comes of it.
I have been intriged by the concept of pu erd white tea. I must say I think it adds a nice level of earthy fullness to white. I diffidently will be trying Verdant Tea's other pu erd white tea and the alchemy mix with this tea.
I would recommend this tea to white tea lovers and anyone interested in trying a white pu er.
Water: 8 oz steepings
Pot: Make shift Gaiwan
Sweetener: sometimes a couple of drops, but not really needed.
I added a stick of cinnamon and a few cloves to this before I took my brother to night class. (currently waiting in the lobby for it to end). The adding of the spices really added to and awakened this tea's potential. It really taste like pumkin pie minus the crust. And oh the creaminess…. (K^>)
Story Time: Ok ever since I heard that The Who was going to be playing in Orlando I have been wanting to get tickets. At this point though I am determined to get the two floor seats that are available. I have been selling off all my old college books and other stuff on Craigslist; which is going pretty well.
On a tea note I was going to get a Brown Betty teapot, but getting those tickets is the priority now. Also I want to thank Verdant Tea's for making individual sample sizes of their tea. I have been wanting to try their tea for so long now, but lacked the funds. Now I just need to find a good Gaiwan to test them in.
Tea Time
I got this awesome sample in a tea trade with Will Work For Tea.
The dry leaf smells very creamy and like pumpkin from the can with a minor sent of sour cream… interesting. It brews up a nice golden tan color too. The smell of it though is a bit odd. It smells very strongly of sour cream to me; the taste does not. ZOMG this tea is SUPER CREAMY!!! Very smooth and velvet and leaves a soft feel in the mouth. The flavor is not really a pumpkin spice, but more like a pumpkin and cream shake mixed with tea and a little pinch of spice. I can't wait to try this with a cinnamon stick in it.
If you are a fan of TF2 you have to listen to this…. or even if your not, it is epic.
Over all I would recommend this tea to people who want a really creamy and un-spicy pumpkin flavor
Water: 28oz
Pot: Glass
Sweetener: almost 1 tbsp in a 10oz mug
Leaf: 3 tsp

Access to Higher Education Matters, Says New Policy Brief From AACC
Feb 07, 2012, 09:26 ET from American Association of Community Colleges
Access is an important aspect of completion agendas, says policy brief
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Access to higher education matters and is threatened today, says a new policy brief issued today by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). The new policy brief, Why Access Matters: The Community College Student Body, is published today on AACC's website at www.aacc.nche.edu.
Community colleges provide access to higher education for nearly half of all minority undergraduate students and more than 40% of undergraduate students living in poverty. The policy brief paints a picture of today's diverse and expansive community college student body, while expanding on education access for all.
But the open door philosophy found at community colleges is not being rewarded by policy makers focused on completion rates and success indicators buoyed by enrollment data that does not accurately capture what community colleges do and whom they serve. Increasingly, policy discussions related to access and choice in higher education are focused on providing opportunities only to students deemed "deserving."
The policy brief points out that the recent congressional elimination of Title IV eligibility for ability-to-benefit students is an example of the emphasis on serving only those who are most likely to succeed. Community colleges serve approximately 60% of ability-to-benefit students.
This new federal policy disproportionately impacts populations already underrepresented when looking at student success: An estimated 19% of ability-to-benefit students were African American and 31% were Hispanic. These populations each make up 14% of higher education's undergraduate student body.
Although college graduation for these students is a lesser probability than it is for students that are better academically prepared, this federal policy may deny personal and social benefit to tens of thousands of students who want to build better lives for themselves and their families.
Eighty-four percent of community college students works while going to school and more than half (60%) of them work more than 20 hours a week. Working while going to college can increase the likelihood that students do not complete their courses of study and earn degrees.
"Community colleges offer higher education access to anyone who wants to learn, regardless of their income, status in life, age or ethnicity," said Walter G. Bumphus, president and CEO of AACC. "We fear that success indicators focused on degree completion only, will lead to restricting college access to those who are the most likely to succeed, not those who need it the most."
"America cannot afford an educational system of haves and have-nots that does not meet its employment or educational needs. Revising success indicators to reflect the population community colleges serve and incentivizing colleges to meet those benchmarks is what is needed," noted Bumphus.
The policy brief was funded in part by Lumina Foundation.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the American Association of Community Colleges is the leading advocacy organization representing close to 1,200 community, junior and technical colleges nationwide. Community colleges are the largest sector of higher education, enrolling 12.4 million credit and non-credit students each year. To learn more about the AACC, visit www.aacc.nche.edu.
Lumina Foundation, an Indianapolis-based private foundation, is committed to enrolling and graduating more students from college—especially 21st century students: low-income students, students of color, first-generation students and adult learners. Lumina's goal is to increase the proportion of Americans who hold high-quality degrees and credentials to 60 percent by 2025. Lumina pursues this goal in three ways: by identifying and supporting effective practice, through public policy advocacy, and by using our communications and convening power to build public will for change.

There are no signs of a dramatic rebound, but enough to suggest that the global economy led by United States is slowly getting back on the rails.
Slower economic growth and its consequences, income inequality and climate change will be the key topics debated by business leaders, regulators and political heads at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, beginning Tuesday.
"The Reshaping of the World: Consequences for Society, Politics and Business" is the thematic focus of Davos 2014, as there appears to be a whiff of optimism in the air for the first time since the global financial crisis five-and-a-half years ago.
Also Read: 125-member Indian delegation heads for Davos
There are no signs of a dramatic rebound, but enough to suggest that the global economy led by United States is slowly getting back on the rails.
A World Bank report last week forecast the global economy to grow at 3.2 percent in 2014, up 2 percentage points from its earlier prediction of 3 percent in June last year. It also expects 'high income countries' to grow 2.2 percent this calendar, compared to 1.5 percent last year.
It is in the backdrop of this renewed confidence that the 250 top political leaders and heads of international organizations at Davos will be discussing global issues like climate change, multilateral trade, better governance through public-private cooperation and the post-2015 development agenda.
The Economic Agenda will examine issues of acute structural unemployment, widening income inequality and figure out ways to manage the consequences of expected changes in monetary policy and financial regulation in the face of slower global growth.
The Regional Agenda will explore in depth the social and political transformation occurring in all regions of the world. Emphasis will be on the new actors, policies and structures that are driving stable and legitimate forms of governance to address a wide range of regional and national challenges.
The Industry and Business Agenda will try to offer insights into the evolution of industry ecosystems and business models, particularly in the context of scientific, technological and policy innovations.
The Future Agenda will explore the ideas, innovations and discoveries that are reshaping our world by working closely with those in the vanguard of change from such fields as the arts, culture, engineering, media, medicine, science and technology.

As the name may suggest, Plymouth County was one of the original counties from Plymouth Colony, and was established in 1685. If you are looking for copies of Plymouth County public records, there is a good chance you will be able to find material that goes back at least this far, if you know where to look.
Modern records that go as far back as 1921 are kept by the state. They can be accessed with the proper forms from the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics. The office is located in Dorchester but you can send your application in by mail (a month's wait time) if you can't visit the office in person (while you wait service).
After 1921, the records are moved to the State Archives in Boston. There they can be researched by the public, and they are open during the usual business hours. You can research in person, or do more browsing through their holdings via the online search features of their website. Records are free to look through, though you will have to pay for any photocopies you make. Their collection dates to 1841, when the state first made it a requirement to file records registrations with the state government.
And all material from before 1841 has remained with the counties, and that is where you will have to put in your request. The county clerk's office in the town of Plymouth is the best place to start as they often have the records for the county, but you may also have to contact the town clerk where the even took place if the county office doesn't have the record you are looking for.
The forms for any of these requests can be picked up at the counter, or downloaded at home from the Office of Health and Human Services website. There is one form for all vital records.
Plymouth County Birth Records
There are fees associated with getting a certified copy of a Plymouth County birth record, but it will depend on how you make your request application. Mailed in forms need a $28 fee with them, but if you are at the counter, it will only cost you $18. There are no restrictions on who can order copies of records.
Plymouth County Death Records
Plymouth County death records cost the same as the birth records, and are also available to anyone who makes a request. There are no limitations based on your relationship to the deceased.
Plymouth County Marriage Records
You can also get a Plymouth County marriage record without restriction as well. They are available through the same offices and are issued for the same fees.
Plymouth County Criminal Records
Plymouth County criminal records are not classed as "vital records" and they are handled directly by the state, not the county. In particular, it's the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services that handles these documents. Your requests must go to them. The DCJIS website explains how to apply for documents, and which Plymouth County criminal records are considered public domain. The fee for these records is $30 for each one ordered.

How Hormone Therapy can Help Improve Your Life
The number one goal of testosterone replacement therapy is to prevent dangerous diseases and potentially life-threatening medical conditions. However, this does not mean that the additional benefits provided from having high levels of testosterone should be ignored – in fact, they are some of the greatest reasons to undergo testosterone therapy, and may help to alleviate or undo the symptoms of Low T.
These treatments can come in different forms, from gels and patches to the more potent testosterone injections. These forms all have the same goal in mind of preventing dangerous conditions, alleviating symptoms of Low T, and providing a higher quality of life to anyone undergoing testosterone therapy.
Using testosterone therapy can provide a wide range of benefits.
Increased Sex Drive
Testosterone is the male sex hormone for a reason, and having your testosterone levels increased may bring along an improvement in both sex drive and sexual performance. Testosterone is the hormone with the largest impact on libido, and keeping its level high could help to make your sex drive as strong as it ever was. Testosterone also plays an important role in acquiring and maintaining erections, so having adequate amounts of this hormone may allow you to have stronger and longer-lasting erections to improve performance.
Increased Energy and Endurance
Low testosterone robs you of your energy and makes you feel sluggish and fatigued. When your testosterone levels are replenished, you should see a very noticeable increase in your stamina and endurance, and even mental energy. Many people who undergo testosterone therapy never realized how low their energy levels were before improving their testosterone levels – the difference can be extremely significant.
Better Focus and Concentration
Your mind needs testosterone, too, and using testosterone therapy can improve your ability to focus while strengthening your memory. Men with Low T will often have difficulty concentrating on things and find their memories starting to go – and testosterone therapy seeks to undo a lot of that damage and make your mind sharper and your memory more clear than ever.
Improved Mood
Depression is very common among men with low testosterone, and these feelings are often greatly reduced or completely removed after some time with testosterone replacement therapy. Most men report an entire new, positive outlook on life after their testosterone levels have been replenished, and they find their mood is elevated much more often.
Don't Wait
If you believe you suffer from low testosterone, don't wait. Many men who undergo testosterone replacement therapy report extremely quick results that are almost immediately noticeable – do not suffer from the symptoms and risks of having Low T for any longer than you have to. Get tested and start treatment as soon as you can – it can have a huge impact on your life.

Dictionary Day : From A to Z
As much as I want to be surprised that there is a day called Dictionary Day, I am absolutely not.

Architectural Design Rewriting (ADR) is a proposal for the design of reconfigurable software systems, conceived in the spirit of conciliating software architectures and process calculi by means of graphical methods. ADR offers a formal setting where design development, run-time execution and reconfiguration are defined on the same foot.
The key features of ADR are:
- hierarchical and graphical design;
- rule-based approach;
- algebraic presentation;
- inductively-defined reconfigurations.
Architectures are modelled by typed designs: a kind of interfaced graphs whose inner items represent the architectural units and their interconnections and whose interface expresses the overall type and its connection capabilites. Architectures are designed hierarchically by a set of composition operators called design productions which enable:
- top-down refinement, like replacing an abstract component with a possibly partial realisation;
- bottom-up typing, like deducting the type of an actual architecture;
- well-formed composition, like composing some well-typed actual architectures together so to guarantee that the result is still well-typed.
Domains of valid architectures, i.e. those compliant to styles, patterns or constraints, are defined in a declarative way by means of design productions. Such productions have both a functional reading as valid architectural compositions and a grammar reading as providing an inductive definition of valid architectures. In the functional reading, the set of productions defines an algebra of design terms, each encoding the structure of the architecture and providing a proof of style conformance. The interpretation of a design term is a design, i.e. the actual architecture. Reconfiguration and behaviour are given as term rewrite rules acting over design terms rather than over designs. This has many advantages:
- terms compactly and conveniently encode the hierarchical structure of the architecture;
- ordinary term rewriting techniques allow to specify complex reconfigurations and computations that can exploit the hierarchical structure encoded in terms;
- preserving properties such as style-conformance during reconfiguration can be ensured by construction.
ADR has been validated over heterogeneous models such as network topologies, architectural styles and modelling languages.

People continue to ask me to send them magnets, but unfortunately I am no longer doing so for several reasons:
The first and foremost is liability and exposure to potential litigation. My significant other brought this to my attention, and insisted that I immediately stop mailing out magnets. While I'd like to think that people are reasonable and accept personal responsibility for whatever happens after jamming a stirring magnet into their finger, it was brought to my attention that in today's lawsuit-happy world this doesn't matter. Even with firm legal ground to stand on, defending against litigation can be a financially ruining sequence of events.
Then there's the time and money involved. This is not a money-making venture. I ask for a few bucks to cover the cost of magnets, shipping materials, etc, but in the end I don't even break even. It's very time consuming to carefully select and package magnets into individual bags. I was sending them out because I wanted to share the opportunity to have a magnetic sense, not to make money.
Finally, it's a largely thankless venture. I would be much more apt to continue accepting the risk and donating the time to get magnets to people, but after sending them I rarely ever hear from the person again. To the few that have, THANKS! It's really cool seeing people take the plunge and doing interesting things with their new sense. But more often, since I take quite some time to send them out, people become very insistent. "I SENT YOU MONEY A WEEK AGO WHERE ARE MY MAGNETS?!" Sure, it's not good business to promptly ship, but I'm not running a business.
Sorry I can't provide an easy and cheap source for you to obtain magnets. I'll continue to update this blog with my experiences, but you're on your own when it comes to locating a viable implantable magnet. I've given plenty of sources in blog posts, so it shouldn't be too hard. Good luck!

Capital to Double Municipal Tax on 'Ghost Apartments'
Proposal put forth by Mayor Nir Barkat and brought to a vote on Thursday, must still be approved by the interior and finance ministries.
Owners of Jerusalem apartments that are empty most of the year will have to pay double the municipal tax unless they rent out their homes, the Jerusalem city council has decided.
The proposal, put forth by Mayor Nir Barkat and brought to a vote Thursday, must still be approved by the interior and finance ministries.
"The youth are the city's oxygen," Barkat said. "We are working all the time to attract young people and young families to the city. Putting thousands of 'ghost apartments' on the [rental] market will dramatically increase the supply of rental apartments for young people and will cause rental prices in the city to drop."
More than 10,000 apartments in the city are unoccupied for most of the year, the municipality says. Almost all the so-called ghost apartments have been bought by foreign owners who typically live in their Jerusalem homes for only a few weeks a year.
Critics of the move say owners who paid millions of shekels to buy property in Jerusalem are unlikely to be too concerned about paying a few thousand shekels more in municipal tax, known in Israel as arnona.
But municipal officials say that even if the owners don't rent out their apartments, the tax increase will still help because it will go toward getting more affordable housing on the market.
Many Jerusalem residents have come out against the vacant apartments, saying that because they limit the amount of available housing, they push up prices for what remains. And local merchants have reported decreased income in areas where many homes sit empty for much of the year.
The city has yet to define what constitutes a ghost apartment, saying it is waiting for the required ministry approval.

Braves cap rally on reviewed walk-off homer
Umps overturn initial double call on McCann's dramatic shot
By Guy Curtright / Special to MLB.com
This time it came with a real twist -- a delayed celebration to culminate the walk-off victory.
Matt Diaz tied the game with a two-run pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning Sunday, and Brian McCann beat the Marlins, 7-6, with a drive that just got over the right-field fence.
That wasn't determined, though, until the umpires consulted replay.
It was the first walk-off homer of McCann's career and the Braves' 23rd victory in their last at-bat this season.
The ball was first ruled in play for a double, but the umpires checked the replay and ruled the home run. As McCann completed the trip around the bases, his teammates and Braves fans at Turner Field could finally officially celebrate.
"It was definitely weird," McCann said.
And a big victory for the National League East-leading Braves, who are 46-18 at home and are 16-0-2 in their past 18 series there since losing two of three games against the Phillies in April.
The Braves scored three times in the eighth inning, the last two thanks to a Marlins error, to get within striking distance. Then came the drama.
The Braves had come from seven runs down in the ninth inning to beat the Reds on a grand slam by Brooks Conrad in May, but this was almost as stunning.
Leo Nunez walked Conrad, and Diaz followed with his opposite-field homer to right field to tie the game. Two outs later and with extra innings looming, McCann won it.
Down in the count 1-2, McCann got a pitch to his liking and sent a drive to right field. Had the ball gone over the fence or not?
"I knew it was out," McCann said. "I heard it hit the tin on the back wall. It makes a different sound."
But second-base umpire Tim McClelland at first singled that the ball was in play, and McCann stopped at second base.
The umpires conferred and then left the field to view the replay. After 86 seconds, they emerged and McClelland, the crew chief, signaled home run.
"I didn't care how long it took," McCann said.
Given the homer, McCann strolled around the bases and the delayed celebration actually seemed muted. Maybe everyone was stunned.
The Marlins didn't argue.
"[The ball] made a loud sound," Marlins right fielder Mike Stanton said. "You could tell -- there is no clank in play. The fence is soft. It's not going to make a loud noise."
The Braves' rally got Derek Lowe off the hook. He gave up five runs in three innings, walking three to go along with six hits. Only 42 of his 78 pitches were strikes.
In contrast, Josh Johnson allowed just three hits and an unearned run over six innings for Florida, striking out eight. But he left after 103 pitches and the Marlins' defense and bullpen imploded.
"If he would have finished the sixth inning under 100 [pitches], yes, I would have sent him back," Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "But over 100, he was fighting for six innings. You have a five-run lead. At some point, the bullpen has to step up."
The Braves' three runs in the eighth inning were charged to Will Ohman, with the last two scoring when first baseman Gaby Sanchez dropped a throw from shortstop with two outs.
It went bad for Lowe from the start. He got ahead of Marlins leadoff hitter Emilio Bonifaco, only to walk him with three straight balls. Logan Morrison followed with a single, and then Lowe made a 3-2 pitch too good.
Hanley Ramirez connected with a changeup that drifted into his prime hitting zone and smacked his 18th homer of the season over the left-field fence. Before Lowe had got an out, the Marlins led, 3-0.
Dan Uggla doubled off the left-field fence after Ramirez's homer and Chad Tracy walked with one out. Lowe did finally get out of the 37-pitch inning by striking out Stanton and Brad Davis.
The Braves scored an unearned run off Johnson in the bottom of the first inning on an RBI hit by Eric Hinske. But Lowe gave up two runs in the third before getting an out. Tracy drove in the runs with a bases-loaded single.
Cristhian Martinez relieved Lowe to start the fourth inning and quickly gave up a run, as Donnie Murphy followed Bonifacio's double with a one-out triple. But the reliever settled down after that and finished with three scoreless innings to keep the Braves as close as they were.
"It didn't look good for a long time," Lowe said.
But comebacks, especially at home, have been the Braves' specialty.
"It doesn't get any better than this," Diaz said.
"What a way to get your first walk-off," McCann said.

Twitter IPO Has A 'Complete Lack Of Transparency And Disclosures' (TWTR)
Investors might want to reconsider their plans for Twitter.
Trip Chowdhry, the Managing Director of Equity Research at Global Equities Research, is not satisfied with the information that Twitter has provided before its initial public offering.
"I think the S-1 filing has done a very poor job," Chowdhry told Benzinga. "It is more about propaganda rather than giving insight."
Chowdhry said that there are several key questions that should have already been addressed by the S-1:
- Q1. "What percentage of your current advertisers are also your investors? What percentage of total Twitter revenue are coming from advertisers who are also investors?"
- Q2. "Photos and Sharing of Photos play a very important role in creating an Interest Graph. Yahoo's (NASDAQ: YHOO) Flickr, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Picasa, Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) Instagram are huge, when compared to Twitter's Twitpic. How is Twitter Twitpic going to compete and win against Flicker, Picasa, Instagram?"
- Q3. "How is Twitter going to address the user backlash with its video sds? 76% of users access Twitter through a mobile device and video ads take up a lot of bandwidth and majority of Twitter users are not on unlimited mobile data plans."
- Q4. "How will Twitter grow its Monthly Active User's in an environment where specialized 'Celebrities' social networks are getting popular and eating into Twitter share? E.g. LinkedIn (NASDAQ: LNKD) is for Professional Celebrities, Google + is for Technological Celebrities, Facebook for Personal Celebrity, Tumblr for Creative Celebrity, Pinterest for Fashion & Design Celebrity and Twitter of course for Entertainment Celebrity."
Related: Twitter Could Help Investors Profit Long Before The IPO
- Q5. "Activity on Twitter reaches its peak in the morning, while activity on Pinterest and LinkedIn reaches its peak during the afternoon and evening respectively. What specific plan does Twitter have to take the Afternoon and Evening activity market share away from Pinterest and LinkedIn?"
- Q6. "What specific plans does Twitter have to take back the user engagement that is now happening on WhatsApp, SnapChat, Skype IM and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iMessage, and bring the conversations back to Twitter?"
- Q7. "The shelf life of the Tweet continues to decrease, probably now it is 15 minutes, which could be because of the combination of popularity of new hyper-segmented Celebrity Platforms like LinkedIn, Google +, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest and Emergence of mobile short messaging services like WhatsApp, SnapChat, SkypeIM and Apple iMessage. What specific plans does Twitter have to protect against the declining time spent on Twitter?"
- Q8. "Twitter will need to catch up to Google, Yahoo and Facebook to deliver photos and videos. What is your best guess on what is the cost of catch up?"
Related: Jack Dorsey Doesn't "Like" Facebook Hashtags
Chowdhry said that these questions were "critical" for anyone who wants to invest in Twitter. He encourages investors to ask these and other questions during the IPO road show.
"We don't want social media -- as an industry -- to be the next dot-com era," said Chowdhry. "It has legs, but a lot of rationalism is needed. Based on S-1, you can't make any decisions.
"Basically, you can't compare Twitter to any other company -- Facebook or LinkedIn or Google because they were following very strict accounting laws, whereas Twitter, we don't know that the numbers they put in are 100 percent accurate."
Further, Chowdhry said that Twitter should not be trading at a premium to its peers.
"The stock should be trading at massive discounts to its peers because there's a complete lack of transparency and disclosures," he said.
On Saturday, the New York Stock Exchange conducted a test run of Twitter's IPO to see if it could avoid the massive technical issues that plagued Facebook's IPO on the Nasdaq last year. That test was successful.

A key Senate appropriator will hear testimony today about the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) amid signs that lawmakers are frustrated by the management and ever-rising costs of the project.
"At this point, [the CVC] needs closer congressional oversight," said Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.), chairman of the Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee.
De Rocha said Allard indicated that he wanted to hold hearings on the CVC more often, "perhaps monthly."
Costs associated with the CVC have been rising steadily since the 1990s, when it was introduced as an approximately $71 million project.
The price tag increased as the plans for the CVC have changed. In 1995, the cost was estimated at $125 million, and it rose to $265 million in 2000.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Congress appropriated additional money for security costs and congressional expansion space, bringing the project to $373.5 million.
Alan Hantman, the architect of the Capitol, told the House Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee last year that the project would not require any more funding; the cost for the 580,000-square-foot center stands at $421 million.
CVC spokesman Tom Fontana said the project has gone through so many changes that it is impossible to compare the CVC of 1995 to the one currently under scrutiny.
Early versions of the project had no auditorium, no tunnels to the Library of Congress or under the north side of the Capitol grounds, and no Senate or House expansion space. The expansion space alone has cost $70 million.
Fontana added that the characterization of the CVC as a "runaway project" is unfair because of the changes and extensions. "We are not talking about the same project," he said. "We have had nearly two dozen design changes that have had a ripple effect."
Fontana said the increased oversight by the Senate could help members of both chambers better understand the project and its costs. He said key CVC officials have met with the Capitol Preservation Commission on Mondays to keep members informed of the center's progress and challenges.
The commission is composed of House and Senate leadership as well as several other members of Congress.
"The goal is that no one will be taken by surprise and [that the CVC can] minimize the anonymous information that's out there," Fontana said.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimated in a recent report that the cost of the CVC could total $515 million. During a House Appropriations Committee hearing May 3, Hantman testified that the cost of the CVC would not rise above $517 million.
"I think we can do it for the $517 million or less that they are projecting right now," Hantman said.
Later in the same hearing, Hantman said that 77 percent of the cost increases were out of his office's control because the project has undergone several design changes and security upgrades. His office has requested $36.9 million for fiscal year 2006 to complete construction on the complex.
Kirstin Brost, a spokeswoman for Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.), ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, said, "While we are going to keep a close eye on the CVC, we have no plans to ask for monthly hearings."
Also testifying at today's hearing will be David Walker, comptroller of the GAO.
"The GAO is monitoring [the CVC] on a constant basis," said Laura Kopelson, a spokeswoman for the GAO.
The center has also suffered from a string of delays, pushing its opening date from December 2005 back to its current fall 2006 date. The GAO estimated the visitors center would open in March 2007.

When the formidable scenario is presented to Erin Grant, she can't help but unleash a small grin.
The Texas Tech women's basketball team can clinch a share of the Big 12 Conference championship today, but to do so, the No. 13 Lady Raiders have to defeat No. 7 Baylor in front of a large crowd on Senior Night at the Ferrell Center in Waco.
It's not the ideal situation for Tech to claim its first conference title in five years, but Grant welcomes the opportunity.
"It's fun for us, because it's going to be a big challenge," Grant said. "It's going to be a great environment up there in front of all their fans for the championship. That just kind of sets the tone for a great ballgame. It's going to be fun."
But that today's game will more than likely be another hard-fought battle is hardly a surprise. Almost every matchup between Tech and Baylor the last few seasons has been tightly contested and decided in the final minutes. Neither team has won by more than eight points in its last four meetings, including a 52-49 win by the Lady Bears earlier this season in Lubbock.
Baylor already has clinched a share of the Big 12 crown, but winning today would give the Lady Bears the outright championship.
"I don't think there's a lack of motivation on either side," Tech coach Marsha Sharp said. "This is what every team plays for. We lost a couple of tough games at home and have had to scratch and claw to stay in the race and put ourselves in a situation to share it."
But of all the obstacles the Lady Raiders have had to overcome this season, today is the toughest.
A Baylor official said Wednesday that only 1,000 tickets remained for today's game. The Ferrell Center has a capacity of 10,284.
The Lady Bears have yet to lose at home this season and have a 16-game winning streak at the Ferrell Center. Their last defeat at home came last season when Tech escaped with a 62-59 triumph.
Tech hopes to match that feat today and continue a trend of playing well on the road. The Lady Raiders are 6-1 on the Big 12 road, with their only loss coming at Texas, 64-43, last month.
"We're excited about the chance to go get a win on the road in front of all those people," Tech junior forward LaToya Davis said. "I think we've developed a pretty good rivalry with them, especially inside against their post players."
Baylor boasts one of the top frontcourts in the country in junior Sophia Young and senior Steffanie Blackmon. Young caused the most trouble for the Lady Raiders earlier this season, scoring 24 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
Tech knows it has to stop Baylor's duo, and the Lady Bears know who they have to stop.
When these two teams meet, strategy doesn't make much of a difference. The victory is usually decided by which team makes bigger plays in the end.
"We just have to play," Grant said. "I thought it came down to a couple of big plays in the first game, and it'll probably be that way again (Thursday). It's all about how we play."

What irks me personally is that the entire eight hundred sixty kilobytes YUI albatross is loaded every other time I visit even though I have disabled the Slash Ajax stuff in my prefs.
I may not know how Slashcode works, but I am no web dev greenhorn. I know what can be done in HTML with and without Javascript, and the interface I do actually use is trivial to implement without any use of Javascript whatsoever, let alone Ajax. If there are still Ajax features somewhere, they are utterly wasted on me, and so is the site's bandwidth and mine.
As for the browser cache:
Sorry, but it's finite. I would like to increase it since I have disk space to spare, but disk cache lookup
I am no web dev greenhorn
I didn't imply otherwise. Indeed, I directly limited my claim of what you don't know to Slash, and I noted that you made valid points, but that they didn't apply as you asserted.
If there are still Ajax features somewhere, they are utterly wasted on me
Of course, you don't actually know that. And again, you also don't understand YUI very well since you seem to think it is primarily about Ajax. As to what YOU think is trivial to implement, I am uninterested in knowing.
I would like to increase it since I have disk space to spare
That is your choice.
There's no
Expires header in sight when I request those URIs
Yes. There doesn't need to be. We use Cache-Control/max-age. Now, that is not there e
So how about giving an example of how a feature I use requires YUI stuff, instead of skirting the matter with "you don't know what it's for" hints?
Here's a summary of how I use the site: I read the site mainly via several
search.pl feeds, and hit the site in the browser only to read comments, which I've set to nested mode, and to leave comments, which I do via the Reply links that lead me to a page with a very plain HTML form. None of these interactions happen without a
Right, I shouldn't have expected an actual, straight answer. So, I've blocked
images.use.perl.org and cleared my cache. Nothing appears to have broken, other than missing stylesheet.
But I'm sure there's something I need YUI for that I don't know anything about.
Well, use.perl is where the community is, so I have to put up with Slashcode. I suppose that given sufficient effort, the resultant complaints can be interpreted as a sense of entitlement; refusing to address any of the actual issues is then a reasonable response.
Such is the curse of success.

In a letter dated Nov. 1 to U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Michael Froman, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association and U.S. Canola Association raised concerns regarding ongoing delays, lack of transparency and arbitrary decisions in China's process of approving new biotechnology traits.
The letter comes as the three administration officials prepare for a meeting of the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) with China, the nation's largest trading partner this December.
"China is now the largest export market for U.S. agricultural goods valued at over $32 billion in 2012," wrote the groups. "However, in spite of our growing successful trade relationship, China's biotech approval process has gone from being slow but predictable to being even slower, unpredictable and non-transparent."
The groups maintain that China's position as a major buyer of U.S. commodities means the current, arbitrary Chinese approval system is effectively preventing U.S. farmers from adopting the new technologies needed to increase yields, fight pests and weeds, enhance quality and improve environmental performance.
You can check current crop commodity prices now
In the letter, the groups cited several key data points illustrating the complications of the approvals process, including a 19-month period in which no new soybean, corn, cotton or canola biotech traits had been approved.
When the backlog of traits was addressed, China approved just over half of the applications. The groups say there are currently 15 biotech applications pending approval.
"Farmers in the United States and around the world want to help meet China's food security needs and our organizations have been working in partnership with the Chinese food, feed, livestock and textile industries for decades," they noted.
"However, the ability to efficiently and consistently produce and increase production of our crops depends on commercializing new biotech traits that can increase yields, improve quality, and ultimately provide Chinese consumers with more affordable and healthy food and fiber."

Finishing up my walk in gun safe... want to hang on the walls

haven't got a dollar in my pocket, but I bought 8 more paneling boards, & can now finish the whole corner ammo bench... it should be finished by day's end, except for foam & seat cover... I have a display board I'm doing for my pocket & wrist watch collection, thinking royal blue or deep red fabric ( satin, minki, or velvet ) cover over plywood, then brass hooks to hang everything... waiting on MRS to get me the fabric... once I decide / get that fabric, I'll do matching vinyl on the bench cushions...
I'm at the point of getting ready to starting to apply a finish to the paneling... right now I'm thinking water based clear urethane ( less smell... spray painting ( white ) the exposed parts of the I beams about killed me with the smell & fumes, as I won't have all the exhaust / air inlets functioning till next spring )... but I'm open for suggestions on finish, as long as it's both very clear, & low odor... thinking semi gloss in the water based urethane... that stuff is right around $50.00 a gallon, but will look nice, won't add any color to my natural looking wood... sounds like it's not quite as durabile as oil based, but less smell, & easier clean up... once the walls are finished as far as I've gotten, I can look at starting to hang my 1st guns...
where I've gotten to with the paneling, is to the edge of my loading bench area, so I can get several guns hung up, without adding any more wood... I do have to finish paneling this wall & around the next corner 30" or so, so I can start my loading bench... thinking good solid wood, with a stainless steel bench top... I have 6 outlets around the bench, 3 above, & 3 below... the dehumidifier & the sump pump, are both under where the bench will be...
any problems you guys could think of using the water based urethane ???
In life you either make dust or eat dust...

Ground Coffee Society have pioneered London's specialty coffee scene since 2009. Sourcing, roasting and serving our own coffee, over the years we have built a solid reputation for delivering some of the most consistent and loved coffee in London.
As a speciality coffee roasting company, we are dedicated to providing specialty, fair trade and organic hand crafted coffee, that is consistent, and full of flavour.
Our coffee is ethically sourced and fairly traded by small farmers around the world, the beans themselves are roasted at Ground Coffee Society's very own coffee roasting facility. All of our beans are roasted in small batches to ensure freshness, then packaged by hand, ensuring quality with every bag. Our regular house blend 'Caveman' is on offer all year round, which is used as the base of arguably one of London's most loved flat whites. This is accompanied by seasonal specialty single origin coffees for both espresso and lightly roasted filter for the coffee connoisseur in you.
When Ground Coffee Society first opened its doors in late 2008, it wasn't just about the coffee. Dave (owner & founder) was a professional drummer, and had toured and played for many years of his life. So he opened a drum shop, with a twist - amazing coffee!
After realising the queues going out the door weren't for the drums being sold but more for the caffeine on offer, Dave made a quick and easy decision to remove the drums from the equation and focus on the coffee being served. Ground Coffee Society then began to build its foundations and a solid reputation.
Ronan & Storm became involved with Ground Coffee Society after their return from Australia in 2012, on the hunt for great coffee in London.
After finding Ground Coffee Society and realising they had a mutual love and desire to spread the word of great coffee, they decided to team up with Dave, and take Ground Coffee Society's already loved coffee, even further.
Now, Dave along with Ronan & Storm have exciting plans to build their coffee empire, and take their coffee to the world.

Discovering of Frequent Itemsets an Improved Algorithm of Graph and Clustering Based Association Rule Mining (GCBARM)
An important research topic in the field of Association Rule mining algorithm is to discovering frequent itemsets, this is a major key process of stake in data mining research domain. The proposed numerous algorithms are initiates two concepts; basic need of valuable analysis to finding their inter relations of dataset, using the traditional graph theory approach and geometric characteristics of the underlying entities are represent the vertices and edges. This method reprocess huge amount of date sets. And the proposed algorithm named Graph and Cluster Based Association Rule Mining (GCBARM). The main task of the proposed algorithm is to reduce time for scanning the transaction data.

I do not think that this is a trend. The last I knew,
computer-savvy Taiwan and Hong Kong were continuing to invent new
characters. In the end, the onus is on the computer to support the user.
Only during the current frenzy of computerization is the reverse permitted -
this will pass.

That depends on how you look at it. From what I understand (which I
freely admit I have learned only from this list), Indic languages tend to be
supported in toto, and therefore even the currently unwritten ones will
belong to a highly non-minority language family.

It looks like the Sony Xperia Tablet Z is now one step closer to being released in the US market. We haven't seen a specific release date just yet, however the fact that the device has recently passed by the FCC does imply that a release date is getting closer. That being said, this filing is for the Wi-Fi only model and for better or worse — does not contain much in terms of surprises.
The FCC filing for the Xperia Tablet Z contains the usual suspects such as the confidentiality request and label location as well as some internal and external images. Oh, and there is also the user manual for those who feel they must read up on the tablet ahead of its arrival. Not that we would expect many of the readers to feel the need to do something like that.
Aside from the bit about this model being Wi-Fi only, the Xperia Tablet Z will bring features to include a 10.1-inch (1920 x 1200) display, quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm APQ8064 processor, 2GB of RAM and 8.1 megapixel rear-facing camera. The tablet will also have a microSD card slot, NFC and a thickness of just 6.9mm.
The Xperia Tablet Z will be running Jelly Bean at launch and is expected to drop at $499 (for the 16GB model). And just like the Xperia Z smartphone, the Tablet Z will also be water resistant which comes courtesy of the IP55 certification. So how about it, anyone waiting for the Xperia Tablet Z to come available?

Well done. The boy's movements, mug-takes & reactions all do a splendid job of setting the stage and foreshadowing the inkblot "past." The repetitive, rhythmic bounce of the other children on the playground also generously contributed to setting a mood to the piece that hasn't been effectively captured for many years. Some of the prior reviews posted have missed the point of this piece by complaining about the qualities of this piece that are its greatest strengths. Sure, anyone can "draw" inkblot characters, but it takes a lot of talent to bring them to new life. It was apparent that you did your homework, and put a lot of heart into this piece.

I've always enjoyed your style put to animation! This is a pretty nifty cartoon!
Though, I noticed the last couple of scenes weren't as smoothly animated as the beginning. I'm guessing you ran out of time?

WEll done a great entry for the NATA open round, I'm pretty sure you'll go through to the next round for sure. Mice animation I really like the rubber hose effect, and the nice little homage to Disney's steam boat willy at the end, job well done.

I freakin lov ur style of video, i like cartooning but i dnt know how to make animations, cause i would lov ta make stuff that as good as u do... but ill stick to comic strips for now until i find out how ta animate.

I agree, I don't think there's significant value in trying to constrain the source repository.
Lars Corneliussen I looked in mojo sources of maven-dependency-plugin:sources, It use the same maven artifact resolver, and provide all remote repositories from the project, therefore It try to resolve source artifacts from all repositories.
So, I have no idea how to resolve PDBs from the same repo the dll was resolved from.
Notes: I see that maven source resolver also ignore ArtifactResolutionException (it's seem to be a connection error) when try to resolve source artifacts. How do you think, should you ignore it in PDB artifact contributor also?
My question is: why we need to limit resolving PDBs artifacts to one repo? Why if I have to repositories external and internal, external contains all artifacts without sources(PDBs) and internal the same artifacts with sources, and we have a project which have reference to these repositories. So if artifact will be resolved from external repository we cannot be able to resolve PDB artifact in this case.
Brett Porter, Victor Stefoglo: I checked artifact.getRepository()... it is null; so i have no idea how we could find out where to resolve stuff from.
How does maven do with sources? Would it try to get them from everywhere?

#1 Seattle dive bar becomes first to ban Google Glass03-09-2013, 10:45 PM
Owner says "it's because it's kind of a private place that people go." Will other businesses follow?
by Casey Newton
March 8, 2013 3:51 PM PST
Google Glass won't be available to consumers for months, but there's at least one Seattle bar where the eyewear will not be welcome.
The 5 Point, a self-described dive bar in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, posted a notice to its Facebook page this week telling Glass Explorers looking to grab a pint that they will need to remove their $1,500 spectacles. The story was noted today on GeekWire.
"For the record, The 5 Point is the first Seattle business to ban in advance Google Glasses," the post reads. "And ass kickings will be encouraged for violators."

Can you imagine the court cases due to sex recordings?Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears
You are driving down the road in the not to distant future when a police officer pulls you over, he scans you for current stats and driving eligibility. He looks at the scanner and says that you were driving while experiencing a level 2 human interface, this is not a major offense but still in violation of distracted driving laws. The officer quickly initiates a group interface where you are found guilty of a distracted driving violation and your account is debited the appropriate fine.Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears
