The Senators were a big hit in their first game of 2006 at the Corel Centre.
An inspiring Daniel Alfredsson re-established himself as one of "The Delivery Boys" -- Ottawa players who score the sixth, Pizza-Pizza-piece-of-pie-winning goal for the hometown fans -- in what ended up as a 7-2 pounding of Wayne Gretzky's Phoenix Coyotes.
Along with all the lamp lighting, the Senators provided something to folks who like a little bang for their buck. Led by fourth-liners Christoph Schubert and Brian McGrattan, plus defenceman Anton "A-Train" Volchenkov and Zdeno "Pull Up A" Chara, Ottawa racked up 27 hits in what might have been its most physical performance of the season.
While "A-Train" had a team leading five, Schoobie-Doobie-Do-bert impressively recorded four in the just 2:22 of ice time he had before leaving with a hamstring problem.
Guess you could say that he and his friends brought the pop to go along with the pizza supplied by Alfie and Co.
Starts and Stops:
Took Alfredsson 55 seconds to steal the puck from Zbynek Michalek at the Coyotes' blue line, draw a penalty and get two quick, quality scoring chances on Brian Boucher, and just 91 seconds to draw his first point since suffering a broken rib Dec. 30. Some Senators didn't do nearly that much in the five games the captain missed ... Alfredsson also stood in front of the net -- while Chara loaded up at the point -- early in the first. You know what trouble that caused him the last time. "I had to get the demons out," Alfredsson joked afterwards. "What are the odds it (taking a rib breaker) would happen again? If I start playing on the outside, I'll never go in front again. I wasn't too worried." ... Mike Fisher(man) took a shot from Coyotes defenceman "Rafael" Paul Mara (good one, Wag) after taking a shot at the Phoenix net right after a whistle. A period later, Fisher(man) had the best shot of the night, over Boucher's right shoulder for his 14th goal of the season.
Things That Make You Go Hmmm...:
Interesting timing, how the Senators put a live shot of Gretzky pacing behind the Coyotes bench on the videoboard with five minutes to go in the third and his team trailing by a half-dozen goals. Gee, wonder why the Great One didn't wave to the fans who were giving him a nice round of applause at the same time? ... Dany Heatley had one first-period goal and could have had four, including a breakaway that proved to be Boucher's finest moment. His worst? The longest, slowest goal Patrick Eaves has scored in the NHL (if not ever), a floater that suggests Boucher was never much of an infielder growing up as the use-two-hands and get-your-body-in-front-of-it approach is not his.
Punch Lines:
Worst call of the night came from the Corel Centre crowd, when they cheered their vote for The Romantics' What I Like About You to be played rather than The Knack's My Sharona. Broo-tal .... Sign of the times -- the board in the Senators dressing room reminded players of an NHLPA meeting today. Lunch will be served, it read, to which somebody added, "ie. egg sandwiches." Commented one media member: "The steak's in escrow." .... It took a long time to get going, but Chris Neil and Sean O'Donnell battled to a fairly even draw in the second that had to be a lot of fun for the fans sitting along the glass just feet from where they scrapped ... Unhappy after the battle was Gretzky, who had his first words with an official 6:24 into the game over the refusal to make a change, then had plenty more to say to the men in stripes when O'Donnell was given 17 minutes (instigator and misconduct along with his fighting major) ... Volchenkov engaged in what was believed to be his first NHL fight, coming up on the short end of a 0-to-4 punch count with Shane Doan.
Between Periods:
Nobody can fully appreciate the pain Jason Spezza has had to endure with his pulled chest muscle, but it must be significant. Otherwise, the star centre would feel extra uncomfortable sitting beside Alfredsson and his workable broken rib in the dressing room. "I didn't think it would be this long," a must-be-very frustrated Spezza said of his time on the shelf. He's not alone ... Doan said he went after Volchenkov as payback for the defenceman taking a run at one of his teammates. Must have been referring to Ladislav Nagy. "I'd like to see what they'd do if we went after Alfredsson or Heatley low through the middle up 6-1," said Doan. "I know what they'd do. The same thing."
WAY UP THERE-A: You'd have to know the black eye worn by Zdeno "Pull Up A" Chara wasn't caused by stick or fist -- who can reach that high with either? No, the big Zee is sporting a shiner and five stitches above his right lid as a result of a puck shot his way in Boston. But don't expect to see him wear a visor in the NHL, even though it doesn't bother him at all when he must don one for international competitions. "There are good and bad points to it," said Chara, noting that players have been hurt because of visors (ie. broken nose). Another reason? "Sometimes you have to scrap."
TRADING PLACES: The chemistry in the Senators dressing room was jeopardized with the 67's trading of 28-goal scorer Bryan Bickell to Windsor for 28-point man Brett Liscomb. How's that, you say? To earn school credits, Bickell was a Senators stick and towel boy at practices. Asked what he thought about the trade yesterday, Bryan Murray replied: "All I know is that Brian (Kilrea) knows what he's doing." Bickell, a tremendous talent and second-round Blackhawks draft pick, is also known as a very inconsistent player. As one wise hockey personnel man put it: "He has a torn motivator cuff."

You could, but that would be unwise. Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding with many rules and trying to do so without advice from an attorney is likely to hurt more than it will help. Talk to a bankruptcy attorney (usually the initial consult is free) and follow their advice. Often they provide information on workable alternatives to bankruptcy. And, if your major debt is things like credit cards or unsecured loans, don't do bankruptcy, PERIOD!!
Please read the articles on this site (look to the left under Resources) because Credit Karma's purpose is teaching people about credit and how to improve theirs. I learned a lot and was trained in accounting. You can learn a lot and avoid a bunch of trouble by doing so.

(CBS) — Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda is denying reports out of Japan that he has agreed to pitch in Hiroshima in 2012, according to Ken Gurnick of mlb.com.
Kuroda told Gurnick, "It's amazing that something I don't know, someone else knows. They have a 50-50 chance."
The Dodgers tried trading Kuroda at the trading deadline, but Kuroda refused to waive his no-trade clause because of his desire to stay with Los Angeles.
Kuroda pitched for 11 seasons with Hiroshima before coming to Los Angeles, he has a 3.17 ERA with 13 wins in 2011.
If Kuroda can make it through four innings in his final start on Tuesday night in Arizona, he will receive a $200,000 bonus.

Hello, I would like to install this theme in one domain but in two separate wordpress installations (to support two languages). Does the license allow this?
Hello, no problem with that as long as it's made for translation reason within one site.
I have been having problems since yesterday trying to view the live preview. Is there any issue? All other web pages I can view without a problem.
Our host was then offline for reasons beyond our control. Sorry for inconvenience it may caused.
I created a Child Theme and all is good except my WooCommerce products. The layout breaks using WooCommerce with my Child Theme active. However, it works fine when the original theme is active. I haven't added any custom code in my Child style.css or functions.php files either.
Hi I just purchased the template Eprom and i'm told that its missing "style sheet" Can you let me know where to find it or how I can get it?
Thank you
Thank you, will do now.
Dear Madame/Sir:
I'm writing you this email because I'm looking for a template where I can sell voices. Your template is quit interesting for me but I have a question, is there any chance to add an audio player in the excerpt. My goal is to avoid that my costumer have to click and go inside the product each time they want to listen to the clip. In that way I'm making the voice research much easier for my costumer.
Hello, thank you for your interest in our theme. Yes you can add audio player to post Short Description and it will be visible on blog page. Please note that's not possible for Releases, Artists or Gallery pages to display excerpts as they weren't designed for that.
Hello, friend.
After a lot of searching, I think your theme is the one that suits me the most. I've lots of concerns as to building my website, but with this theme, I only have one. I really liked the "releases" part of the live preview, and am looking forward to doing one myself. However, the only concern is the pagination. I plan to build a website with lots of artists and/or music styles, and it will keep on growing as time passes by, so I need to make sure that the theme is ready for it.
Thank you!
Hello – yes, as you've noticed Releases page does have pagination available, Gallery has it too (limit wasn't passed on Live Preview of course). If you will decide to choose our template we can add this feature also to Artist page, there shouldn't be problem with that.
Great! because I really need the Artist page to be able to paginate too, so that's great to know. Is there any way that I can see how it will look like? Just out of curiosity (because it's not really really important), will there be sorting options and so on? Is there a way to preview the back-end part of the site? I'm really really close to buying!
At the moment we don't have plans to include some advanced sorting options. Just by date or drag and drop in admin panel. At the moment we don't have it ready but please take a look on our Releases page, it may look somehow similar http://ultraimg.com/images/DkW2.png
Is this theme compatible with woocommerce yet? and say we wanted to sell shirts… is there an option to select different sizes to buy? Also, I was wanting to add a recent posts section to the homepage. is the homepage set up so I would be able to add extra rows and columns into the page and insert shortcode from another plugin to add the recent posts content?
the red box around the date on the recent posts does not fit. it stops before the "4" of 2014.
any idea why?
Hello again,
I'd like to remove top menu holder, can you pls show me how? LOVE THE THEME
Ok I'll do it Thx
I can't find my order ID, I think my invoice was on my old email account I don't use anymore, therefore lost all my previous mails…
And I can't find it here in my account, your instructions on support site about finding licence certificate is obsolete, "You can find this from your Downloads page by clicking the "Download" dropdown next to each file." doesn't work anymore… How can I find it??
Support won't help me if I don't type my order ID…
Best, Daniel
Not even in my invoices I can see which invoice, I have numerous invoices with order id's, but non of them shows your name… This is not good, envato must fix this…
See this I use as example:
Tax Invoice Envato ABN: 11 119 159 741 Envato_logo PO Box 16122 Collins Street West, VIC 8007 Australia To: Nipinitta Order date: 26 Jul 13 Invoice No. 6123869

There should be sellers name here…!
I would love to send you few order numbers I have, to see if you could recognize one, I have few at the time I bought theme. I need you to verify my order number…
Ey! I found my purchase code in ticksy! Yaay
Love this theme, it has done magical stuff for my website! Only one question: Is there any easy way to change the header text color? In the advanced customization it is controlled by the main color, but I would like it to match the Text Color (because of the header image). Is this possible?
Hello and thank you Most of visual modifications can be done via CSS, please check FAQ http://rascalslabs.ticksy.com/faq/551
If you will have any more questions please do not hesitate to start support ticket at http://rascalslabs.ticksy.com/
Can't wait to get started! Couple of quick ones: 1. What's the actual size of the entire file? I'm seeing "33.8 MB (35,539,217 bytes)" – Is this correct? (documentation included?) 2. Is there a "launching soon" page built in the theme? Or any faster/easier way we can work on the site while it's showing a launching soon page with the theme's feel/look? Thanks for your help!
Hello, thank you for choosing our theme.
1. Yes, you are correct about size and documentation folder. It is compressed inside it.
2. There is a Maintaince Mode enabler and page editor in ThemeSettings>Advanced>Maintaince.
PS. Please note that you have to decompress template package (it's around 5MB) before installing in to WordPress. Please follow VideoManual which will guide you through installation and setup process, you will find it in template documentation.
Hey thanks! Where do I find the VideoManual? Also, with the new EPROM version out, do I just re-upload the theme in WP or need to delete the old install and upload the new one (note that I have not done anything yet to the theme/site. just uploaded the previous version).
I've activated "Mantenance Mode". This means, we can edit our site's pages and visitors won't see what we're working on, correct?
You're welcome . Video Manual can be found in template documentation – please check zip package you've downloaded. Update FAQ http://rascalslabs.ticksy.com/faq/342 During maintaince mode visitors will see Maintenance page which can be built in ThemeSettings>Advanced>Maintenance
Hey, the theme looks awesome and has great functionality from what I see in the demo.
I have one question:
If I activate the child theme and adjust the container width to be wider, will I have to manually change the sizes of the page elements too, or are they percentage based?
Either way I am still interested in buying the theme, I just want to know if I can easily adjust the width.
Hello and thank you Unfortunately it's not easy to adjust width of template as it would require to modify some elements (grid, sidebars etc.) via CSS code. It is doable but for sure it's not easy task.
hi! I need to put crowdfunding system into my record label site, eprom theme have some solution? Thanks!!!
Hello, no we haven't (unfortunately) but i think you should look for some sort of plugin for that. Maybe you will find something. Good luck!
Hi, I was needing to know if each track can have a separate buy link for iTunes, Amazon, etc. As of now, I only see one "Buy Now" button for the tracks. Anyway to get it to display iTunes, Amazon, and other buy now links to give visitors multiple options for each track?
Thanks for the help!
Hello, those buttons are added via shortcode so it's no problem to add them multiple times with different names and links.
I updated wordpress to the latest wordpress which is WP 3.9. I'm not sure if that is the problem with the theme or not but the shortcode manager is not working. When I click the plus sign it comes up and everything but when I click insert nothing happens.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the theme, deactivated all plugins and reactivated one by one and it still doesn't work.
Any idea?http://turnitupmusic.com is the website. Ticket ID: EPN-927-65374
Hi, We have a new update that fixes the problem. At this time, waiting in line at the Themeforest. It is independent of us.
hi! i don't found the "contact form" in the Theme Settings > Pages > Contact Form, just "contact", some problem?
Hi, No, this is no problem. e changed only the name of the tabs in the previous update.
I have the same problem as wdsrradio.
Running WP 3.9 and the shortcode manager is not working. Nothing happens when clicking insert
Hi, We have a new update that fixes the problem. At this time, waiting in line at the Themeforest. It is independent of us.
I bet more of people have some problem with this. But since the update to 3.9 of Wordpress the shortcut manager stopped working. It doesn't insert anything.
Hello, We have a new update that fixes the problem. At this time, waiting in line at the Themeforest. It is independent of us.
Ok thanks!!
You're welcome
There is another problem. My site is Dark skin with White colored texts etc. But when a box is selected or want to select a box it turns up completely white. I can't see or read the text afterwards. Take the social links on the footer as an example.
Yours sincerely

Time to make some changes
I'm saying goodbye to From My Living Room and I am in the process of moving my blog over to my website at Andrea Johnson Design. I have met so many people through this little blog that I started in 2010 and I hope that will continue. It just makes sense to have both my website and my blog all in the same place. In the process I will be losing Google Friend Connect and all you wonderful followers that have supported me from the beginning. To make this transition a little easier I have already added a new bloglovin' button to my current blog and you can continue to follow me once I move over to Andrea Johnson Design. So if you love me then show me some bloglovin'!

Student figures 'hit by fees'
Fewer people are applying for universities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland than last year, while the number applying to Scottish universities has risen.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland fees are paid in advance but in Scotland they are not due until after graduation.
The Department for Education and Employment (DfEE) has discounted the alleged link.
Since the end of last year when up front fees were abolished in Scotland, applications to Scottish universities from local students have increased by nearly 20%.
Figures up to late March for the UK overall show applications are down, by 0.5% for school leavers and 5.19% for students over the age of 25.
Ucas chief executive Tony Higgins said the trend was significant because in December the number of Scottish applicants was 2.5% down on the previous year.
"Now it is showing the biggest rise.
"The decision to replace up-front fees with payments after graduation seems to have been popular with Scottish applicants."
However, a spokesman for the DfEE said: "We do not believe the figures published today support the claim made by Ucas.
"Overall, there is very little change this year on last year."
The government welcomed other aspects of the Ucas statistics, which showed an increase in the numbers applying for nursing degrees and in applications to UK universities from students in south east Asia, an important export market for UK higher education which was hit by economic instability last year.

On the Job
From California to Germany, Southwestern students are gaining valuable job experience this summer through a variety of interesting internships.
Meredith Henry, a junior art history major, landed an internship with the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. She is working in the library that is shared by the Smithsonian and the National Portrait Gallery and helps with updating artist files, shelving books, and assisting researchers who use the facilities.
"I am loving being here and working at the Smithsonian," Henry said. "I have learned a ton about American art, which is something I didn't know too much about."
Henry prepared for her internship with the Smithsonian by working in the Special Collections department of Southwestern's library this spring. She would like to work in the curatorial or publication department of a museum. "This internship has helped me understand the day-to-day of working in a museum and what kind of tasks each department performs, which has helped me decide where in the museum field I would like to study," Henry said. In addition to helping her figure out her future career path, Henry hopes her internship will help her "get my name out there and make connections with people who could possibly help me get a job after I graduate."
Senior business major Shant Yegparian is in Los Angeles this summer doing an internship in the interactive department of MGM Studios. "I'm learning a lot about how the entertainment industry works," said Yegparian, who hopes to pursue a career in the industry after he graduates. So, far, he said he has had the chance to read some scripts, work on a couple of iPhone application projects, as well as some other research projects.
Pelham Keahey, a senior physics major, landed an internship at the University of Münster Institute for Nuclear Physics in Münster, Germany. This lab is doing work for CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, which was featured in the recent movie "Angels and Demons."
The lab is one of several involved with A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE), which is one of the detectors for the Large Hadron Collider. Keahey is assisting with the assembly of the Transition Radiation Detector which is part of ALICE. In addition, he is developing computer programs to look at data that will be produced by experiments when the LHC becomes operational in the fall.
This is Keahey's third physics internship. Last summer, he interned at Stanford's Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and the previous summer he worked in a smaller particle accelerator lab at the University of North Texas.
Although he enjoys particle physics, Keahey said he would like to land a job with NASA after he graduates.
Cameron Clinton, a junior who is double-majoring in biology and English, is doing an internship at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago as part of the Kemper Scholars Program. The Kemper Scholars Program provides its recipients with scholarships between $3,000 and $8,000 each academic year, as well as stipends for internships the summer after the students' sophomore and junior years. The summer after their sophomore year Kemper scholars work in a major nonprofit in Chicago, and after their junior year the scholars can intern at a for-profit organization anywhere in the world.
Clinton chose to work at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago because it combines the goal of the Kemper Scholars Program, which is to educate students about being a leader in the professional world, with his interest in medicine. His internship has allowed him to get an in-depth look into medicine as well as the administrative side of healthcare. Clinton has observed doctors going on their daily rounds and attended lectures on topics such as "Cognitive Neuroscience" and "Rehabilitative Care 101 for the Primary Care Pediatrician." He's also been helping the hospital's corporate compliance director prepare for the institute's audit from the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). His duties have included everything from examining research files to ensure that they are properly documented, examining billing operations to ensure that they are equitable between physicians, to working on statistics about how many staff complete their yearly competency requirements.
Clinton's other large project is to create a type of database known as "The Brain." "The goal is to implement some sort of system in which top-of-the-line peer-reviewed journal articles can be reviewed and digested, then compiled so that staff wishing to continue their education or stay on top of the most recent developments in their fields have easy access to the latest and best articles without spending too much time. Ultimately, it will become a sort of information hub for all disciplines at the hospital—physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical and rehabilitation medicine," Clinton said.
The wide variety of tasks that Clinton has been given have made his internship an invaluable experience. "I've gotten to observe the system within which physicians operate first hand, and learn some things about the medical field that most undergrads (and even some med students) aren't aware of until they finish their education and are pushed into the culture. I'm also getting to work on some projects that really matter, where my work has real impact and weight. These projects are major initiatives of the hospital that are ongoing and will continue to evolve and change after I leave, but assisting with starting them is extremely rewarding," Clinton said. While he is still unsure which area of medicine he would eventually like to practice, Clinton said this internship has solidified his desire to enter the medical field.
Four Southwestern students are working with community service groups in Houston and Dallas through a program sponsored by Exxon Mobil.
The Exxon Mobil Community Summer Jobs Program was founded in 1971. In addition to placing students in eight-week internships in various nonprofit organizations, the program also gives students the chance to participate in service projects and professional development workshops. These supplemental experiences are one thing that Leslie Haire, a sophomore who is undecided about her major, values highly about her internship experience at the San Jose Clinic in Houston.
"Instead of just sending each of the 65 interns to their separate nonprofits for the summer, they've really encouraged us to get to know each other and share our experiences," Haire said. Supplemental experiences planned for the summer interns in Houston include a breakfast and introduction to the program, two intern development seminars, a service project and a final get-together at the Alley Theatre.
Recently, about 20 interns in Houston took half a day off from their internship sites and painted a day care center. "It was a nice break from the daily duties that come with the internship and I really enjoyed the time spent with the other interns," Haire said. "Everybody is having completely different experiences, but it just highlights how diverse the nonprofit field is."
This is Haire's first experience working for a nonprofit organization, and the San Jose Clinic is helping her understand its entire operation. She is working in the Development Department and directly assists the grants coordinator, but she also spends one day each week in a different area of the clinic. "My employers want me to understand how the clinic works as a whole, and so far I've observed the dental and optometry departments and a pediatrician, and I've assisted with cataloging medications in the pharmacy," Haire said.
Other students doing internships through the ExxonMobil program this summer are Mayra Garcia, Lauren Hamlett and Alyse Haugen. Garcia is working with another nonprofit in the Houston area and Hamlett and Haugen are working in Dallas.

Berowne is a lord at the court of Navarre, among the King's best friends and one of the three who agree to join him on his scholarly retreat, though he is rather skeptical of the feasibility of the plan.
He has a well-earned international reputation for mockery, and is accepted to be the most intelligent of the courtiers of Navarre, a fact that pleases him. He is looked up to by others, including the King, when it is necessary to get out of a tight spot, as he is able to rationalize anything if need be. He does not expect Rosaline's ability to match him in wit, and is put slightly off-kilter by her ability, though even more so by having fallen in love with her. He recognizes that she is unfashionably dark-complexioned, and is amazed that he could fall for her even so. Love has long been the chief subject of his mocking, and he especially likes to comment on bad love poetry, though he commits some himself. Extremely long-tongued, he can riff for hours on a theme when he takes it up, and his linguistic extravaganzas continue even after he swears to give them up. His joking can be extremely nasty at times, and he is called on this by both Holofernes and Rosaline. He accepts Rosaline's prescription to take the edge off his humor by spending a year comforting the dying.

"Bridget Jones's Diary" is set to become a live musical!
The 2001 film is based on the popular book of the same name and the author, Helen Fielding, is working on the show's book and will contribute to the song's lyrics.
No word yet on the cast, but Renee Zellweger is definitely NOT returning for the musical version.
I enjoyed the book and the film, so I'm looking forward to seeing the musical!

My fellow critics have revealed their favorites at these year's Cannes...so far (remember, we still have until May 24th):
"A Prophet" by Jacques Audiard -- already nominated for the Golden Palm at Cannes, the film tells the tale of a young French-Arab who is sent to prison because of his Mafia associations.
"Bright Star" by Jane Campion -- also nominated for the Golden Palm, it's a drama about the 3-year romance between poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne. And we all know Miss Jane Campion can do period piece like no one else can! Oh yeah, she's also the only woman to have won the Cannes' Palme d'Or.
"Fish Tank" by Andrea Arnold -- also a Golden Palm nominee, the film tells the tale of 15-year-old Mia who must deal with her mom's new boyfriend.
"Vengeance" by Johnnie To -- From Hong Kong, this action drama is about a French assassin working as a chef who goes to Hong Kong for revenge! Another Golden Palm nominee.
That's it for now, more Cannes update later!

Chris Hemsworth, the guy who melted our hearts in his heartbreaking performance as the doomed George Kirk, James T. Kirk's dad in "Star Trek," is in talks to star in Marvel Studios "Thor."
Yes, Hemsworth is the chosen one to play the god of Thunder! He beat out all the other actors who wanted to play the title character.
(For a gallery of "Thor" actors, click here)
Keep in mind though, Hemsworth is still in negotations, although this one's final.
Kenneth Branagh is still attached to direct the film, which is set for release May 20, 2011.
The Australian actor is chosen because of his athleticism and acting skills. Hemsworth will also play Thor in Marvel's planned "Avengers" team for release 2012.
Just like another Aussie, Sam Worthington in "Terminator Salvation," "Avatar," and "Clash of the Titans," Hemsworth will rule the movie world once "Thor" is released!

"Angels & Demons," the sequel to "The Da Vinci Code," enjoyed an angelic opening but barely kept Vulcans and Romulans at bay.
"Angels & Demons" failed to match "The Da Vinci Code's" heavenly opening of $77.1 million in 2006 but apparently, Sony/Columbia folks are very happy with the film's box-office triumph.
The Tom Hanks-starrer based on Dan Brown's book opened at No. 1, earning $48 million this weekend with $16.6 million on Friday, $17.8 million on Saturday and $13.6 million on Sunday.
Meanwhile, "Star Trek" only dropped 45% landing on the second spot with $43 million. According to Hollywood.com, "This is almost unheard of for a film that opened so huge, but with a level of quality that transcends the genre, the film will have legs or as Spock would say, live long and prosper at the box-office."
"Star Trek" is a much-loved, and well-received film than "Angels & Demons." Hence, "Star Trek" is expected to stay in the Top 10 box-office list for more weekends to come.
(Click here for "Star Trek" review and interviews, and right here for "Angels & Demons")
Coming in third is "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." The Hugh Jackman mutant flick took in $14.8 million with a 3-week box-office total of $151.1 million.
Here's the estimated Top 10 Box-Office films for weekend of May 15th:
1. "Angels & Demons," $48 million.
2. "Star Trek," $43 million.
3. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," $14.8 million.
4. "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," $6.9 million.
5. "Obsessed," $4.6 million.
6. "17 Again," $3.4 million.
7. "Monsters vs. Aliens," $3 million.
8. "The Soloist," $2.4 million.
9. "Next Day Air," $2.2 million.
10. "Earth," $1.7 million.

My Dad would probably make a similar comment! Love your blouse - so cute :) XReplyDelete

NEW YORK, April 23 (UPI) -- U.S. manufacturing grew in April, but data shows mixed signals on the strength of the sector, Markit Economics data released Tuesday shows.
A flash estimate of the country's Purchasing Managers' Index shows a modest improvement in business conditions in April, Markit said. On the other hand, new orders growth slowed sharply and the rise in manufacturing output was the weakest in five months, the research firm said.
Markit Economics said the headline PMI fell from 54.6 in March to 52 in April, the lowest reading in six months.
Levels above 50 indicate growth, while below 50 indicates contraction. As such, even though it was not as strong as the previous month, a reading of 52 shows "moderate improvement in overall manufacturing business conditions," Markit said.
Markit's index for new orders fell from 55.4 to 51.8. The index for new export orders rose from 51.8 to 52.2.
The employment index slipped from 54.6 to 52.7.
"The biggest monthly fall in the PMI since June 2010 raises concerns that the U.S. manufacturing expansion is losing momentum rapidly as businesses and households worry about the impact of tax hikes and government spending cuts," Markit Chief Economist Chris Williamson said in a statement.
"The PMI suggests that output growth has slowed from an annual pace approaching 8 percent earlier in the year to only 2 percent at the start of the second quarter," he said.


text: I observed this organization labor diligently for years helping afflicted, impoverished, addicted, outcast, or otherwise hopeless people turn their lives around. I began referring people and following those who came into the different programs. As a result of the change in them and their lives--restored relationships, renewed self esteem, stability, jobs, community involvement, productivity--my family began to support ECTLC financially. We also became involved in helping advance various programs. The unique level of success led me to join the Board to help the organization continue impacting individuals and the community. Now seen from the inside, I'm impressed with the level of integrity seen in the leadership at all levels.

Scientists are reporting development of a new form of aspirin—taken daily by about 60 million people in the United States alone to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke—that could extend aspirin's benefits to people who may not respond to the drug. Their advance toward coping with "aspirin resistance" appears in the journal ACS Nano.
Shiqi Peng, Ming Zhao and colleagues note that aspirin lowers cardiovascular disease risk by keeping blood cells called platelets from clumping and forming clots. But some experts believe that aspirin doesn't work for millions of people, who may switch to more costly, potent prescription drugs with more serious side effects. Scientists have tried to address aspirin resistance by combining it with other drugs. But Peng and Zhao say that the problem remains. Their research group decided to modify aspirin in an effort to make it work for more people.
They linked aspirin to a carrier consisting of a fragment of protein that can transport aspirin directly to damaged parts of blood vessels where clots form. Experiments with laboratory rats, stand-ins for humans in such early tests, showed that the carrier delivered aspirin to areas of blood vessels where clots were forming. It released aspirin inside the developing clot and stopped the clot-formation process.
The article is titled "Nano-Sized Aspirin-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val: Delivery of Aspirin to Thrombus by the Target Carrier Arg-Gly-Asp-Val Tetrapeptide."
Explore further: Increased risk of heart attack or stroke for patients who are resistant to aspirin
More information: Nanosized Aspirin-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val: Delivery of Aspirin to Thrombus by the Target Carrier Arg-Gly-Asp-Val Tetrapeptide, ACS Nano, Article ASAP. DOI: 10.1021/nn402171v
Resistance and nonresponse to aspirin dramatically decreases its therapeutic efficacy. To overcome this issue, a small-molecule thrombus-targeting drug delivery system, aspirin-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val (A-RGDV), is developed by covalently linking Arg-Gly-Asp-Val tetrapeptide with aspirin. The 2D ROESY NMR and ESI-MS spectra support a molecular model of an A-RGDV tetramer. Transmission electron microscopy images suggest that the tetramer spontaneously assembles to nanoparticles (ranging from 5 to 50 nm in diameter) in water. Scanning electron microscopy images and atomic force microscopy images indicate that the smaller nanoparticles of A-RGDV further assemble to bigger particles that are stable in rat blood. The delivery investigation implies that in rat blood A-RGDV is able to keep its molecular integrity, while in a thrombus it releases aspirin. The in vitro antiplatelet aggregation assay suggests that A-RGDV selectively inhibits arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation. The mechanisms of action probably include releasing aspirin, modifying cyclic oxidase, and decreasing the expression of GPIIb/IIIa. The in vivo assay demonstrates that the effective antithrombotic dose of A-RGDV is 16700-fold lower than the nonresponsive dose of aspirin.

Jack Tretton, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America, has added further weight to speculation that rumble is returning to PlayStation controllers.A report on Spong points out that in a recent interview, Tretton stated: "You will see peripherals coming from SCEA that will address the interests of the US consumer. I don't have anything to tell you specifically, but we're certainly open to changing the Sixaxis controller if it addressed North American gamers."
'Changing the Sixaxis controller' has been interpreted as 'adding rumble' by some observers, especially in light of Sony's renewed cooperation with rumble technology firm Immersion.
Tretton added: "We used to have a narrow approach to controllers. If you really wanted to move outside the standard controller, we left it up to third-party manufacturers. But now we're moving to a regional approach."

The Chinese government will not approve licences for new internet cafes this year as part of a move intended to strengthen government control over the popular internet access points.
"The number of internet bars across the country will not increase during 2007," said the directive (in Chinese), entitled "Notice regarding stricter management of internet cafes and online games."
The construction of internet cafes that have already received approval from the government must be completed by 30 June, it said.
The directive was approved by 14 government agencies, including the Ministry of Information Industry, Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Finance. Besides seeking to restrict the number of internet cafes, the directive reiterated the government's intention to shut down unlicensed internet cafe operators.
Internet cafes are popular among Chinese internet users, including young people who may spend hours at the cafes downloading music, watching movies or playing online games.

Grieving. Grieving heavily. It was Annie. Annie who has been with me through it all, quiet, loving, never complaining, always in the background as if to say, "I'm here if you need me but I'll just let you get through it until you do." Annie, who let me use her for a pillow, drape my legs over her to take a nap, who stepped aside when Boone came in and just let him be the number one dog, knowing that she would just BE THERE hanging out waiting for when I needed her. Annie, who let me cry into her fur and hold her and just sat patiently while I did. Annie, who was scared of everyone else but Tom, Kaity and me, but knew, completely knew, that we would protect her and never let anyone hurt her again.
Annie appeared about ten years ago. We were living on a farm in Richmond, Ky. I went outside to see Kaity petting this furry red puppy, a true redhead, who had come up the driveway. She sat by Kaity, but wouldn't let me near her. She was scared, scared to death.
"Can I keep her Mommy?"
"You'll have to ask your Dad, and you know how that will go." He wasn't a dog person. Never was. Never would be.
Kaity named her Annie. "Because she has red hair and she's an orphan."
He came home from work that day and true to form demanded that Annie be taken to the pound. I have such a vivid picture of little Kaity sitting out by the fire pit, puppy Annie by her side, sobbing. But Annie stayed. Annie stayed through it all.
Annie was shy. Not by nature, half-Chow, but by life, abused before we got her. It was obvious immediately. For the first several months, she would only let Kaity near her. She jumped, ran and hid at the slightest noise. To get her to go through a door you had to stand way back and hold it wide open (Did they kick her going out of doors?). She would easily let any of the other dogs take anything away from her. Nothing was worth arguing about to Annie. She was a puppy but never played. Toys were just an excuse for another dog to come near her and she wanted no part of that. I promised her, as long as I had breath in my body, no one would ever hurt her again. Annie just stayed.
She flourished at the farm, running through fields and through woods, with Zoey, then Izzabel. Never the leader, always the follower, always careful, they chased cows, brought home an array of dead animals, caught frogs, swam in the pond and smiled, always smiled—happy dogs.
Annie stayed through a succession of other dogs. Toby, who lived a long wonderful life, whose life was prolonged by moving to the farm, died an old man of 15 in my arms of congestive heart failure. And while I grieved, it was Toby's time.
Zoey... I went to the store, I was only gone an hour, and when I came back my first words to Annie were, "Annie, why are you here and Zoey isn't?" That launched a several month search for Zoey, heartrending, only to finally find her decomposing on the railroad tracks. We think she was poisoned or got into poison somewhere. Annie was there.
Jenny Lynn, who was mean, who locked her jaws on Annie's back over a bone and I had to pry away. Jenny Lynn DID go to the pound. I hope they put her down. We loved her, but she was mean and would eventually hurt someone. Rocky, the Dalmation from down the road. His owner, a young guy, was beating him so badly that Rocky came up the driveway one day just dragging his hips behind him. I found a Dalmation rescue for Rocky. He went to live on the beach in North Carolina. The woman sent me one picture, of Rocky in a fire truck in a parade. We did good by Rocky. And Izzabel, who, when I fled Richmond, got thrown into the backseat of a car to go live with new owners, a horrible thing to do to her, but something we thought we had to do at the time. And through all of that, there was Annie, quiet, shy and scared. But Annie stayed.
The first time Tom met Annie, he quietly crouched down and just looked at her. He didn't reach out to her, he didn't try to pet her, he didn't say anything to her, he just looked at her on her level. She immediately trusted him. From his past owning wolves, he said. She saw the wolf spirit in him and trusted him. Immediately, Annie decided he was okay, he would never hurt her, and she loved him.

I have GERD and want to find any
exercises that can help strengthen the Lower Esophageal Sphincter
, which everyone agrees is the root cause of the ailment.
Does anyone out there know of any exercises that work? Has anyone tried the Shaker Swallowing Rehabilitation Exercise which is used to strengthen the Upper Esophageal Sphincter in patients with swallowing disorders? (e.g. life flat on your back, lift only your head about
4 inches wihtou lifting shoulders and look at your toes - hold this for 1 minute, rest for 1 minute and then repeat two more times).

I've got fibromyalgia and I'd probably die from that exercise. Sometimes I wonder if my GERD isn't nerve damage from diabetes? I realize now I have had it for well over 4 years and just didn't realize it until it got really bad. Hope the exercises help you all.

I've tried everything posted on these boards and have definitely been improving dramatically so I don't know if it's just this exercise or a combination of it and alkaline diet and supplements I take. I think everyone should try everything because maybe just one thing or one change can help an individual.
I don't understand how you can just suffer for years and not make some dramatic change to heal. I couldn't even stand having to take Prilosec for 1 month (and then having a rebound effect) and being told to take a different drug! I've always turned to natural methods in my life and refuse to be put on drugs when I can do something about
my condition.

Danie....I agree with you 100%. I am doing what you are doing with the alkaline diet and no coffee, tea or sodas....I've lost some weight which isn't bad but I am still taking Prevacid. When I try to get off of it the reflux is so bad that I can't get through the rebound stage because it's so awful...I get scared that I'm doing alot of damage. How long did the rebound reflux last when you quit the Prilosec? I really want to be off the meds and take charge of this myself but it won't let me. The longest I've gone off the meds is 2 days without sypmptoms and then they come back with a vengeance. I'm really thinking of talking to my doctor about
doing the Bard suturing procedure and hope that it is successful...it's the least invasive of all the procedures.

It was tough at times at the very beginning, I haven't been out to a restaurant in a while. I eat so many cooked vegetables and just a little protein. Of course, I too lost some weight which is fine since I'm not eating any sugar or wheat products. I do love dates in case you want to try them "natures candy". I was tempted to go back to drugs at times BUT I did not waiver! I knew I did not want to take Prilosec or anything else for more than 1 month. The DGL licorice and alkaline diet and eating small meals is helping me control symptoms almost all the time and I am definitely healing the esophagus this way. I don't feel the tightness in my chest anymore (I never had pain, just nausea and dizziness).
I hope you can do it too and not need surgery. THE KEY REALLY IS TO CHANGE YOUR WHOLE DIET. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT EASY AND YOU DO HAVE TO DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF SO MANY THINGS.....but isn't it worth it to do so for a while?
Good luck to you.

Certain foods are known to relax the spincter and allow stomach acid to back up. Chocolate is one of these. And fats may be another. Try to avoid these, especially 3-4 hours before bedtime. Also try not to over eat.
Here's some more information:
The lower esophageal muscle can be weakened by factors other than food. The following recommendations may be helpful in reducing symptoms:
1. Stop using tobacco in all forms. Nicotine weakens the lower esophageal muscle.
2. Avoid chewing gum and hard candy. They increase the amount of swallowed air which, in turn, leads to belching and reflux.
3. Do not lie down immediately after eating. Avoid late evening snacks.
4. Avoid tight clothing and bending over after eating.
5. Eat small, frequent portions of food and snack if needed.
6. Lose weight if overweight. Obesity leads to increased reflux.
7. Elevate the head of the bed six to eight inches to prevent reflux when sleeping. Extra pillows, by themselves, are not very helpful.
8. The following foods aggravate acid reflux, and should be avoided:
* fatty or fried foods
* peppermint and spearmint
* whole milk
* oils
* chocolate
* creamed foods or soups
* most fast foods
9. The following foods irritate an inflamed lower esophagus and may need to be limited or avoided:
* citrus fruits and juices (grapefruit, orange, pineapple, tomato)
* coffee (regular and decaffeinated)
* caffeinated soft drinks
* tea
* other caffeinated beverages
10. Spicy or acidic foods may not be tolerated by some individuals.

Anyone see improvement from that exercise?
I've been struggling with several symptoms ranging from gas to constipation to acid-reflux. My biggest regret was allowing my doctors to upgrade me to heavy duty pills after taking the 14-day round of Prilosec OTC. The side effects were worse the the original problem and I'm convinced I didn't have acid reflux until about
a month into taking them.
The second regret was not seeking out the right health professionals earlier. While I'm not an all-out homeopathic follower, I have found a homeopathic nutritionist and chiropractor that have done very good things for me. And, if anything, they seem to genuinely care and take more time and interest in you and your problem. A nutritionist can help you follow a better anti-GERD diet and find replacements for the foods you can't eat, but the nutrition you need. Protein and good fats were big one for me. I'm very slender and need the solid energy they provide without sending my acid-reflux into overdrive. The chiropractor also practices some kind of kinesiology. Basically my bodies wiring was goofed up. In just the first visit I could feel a difference. A week later I was much better.
I still deal with the problems, but I do several things to fight it off:
- I don't over eat
- I eat lots of raw or almost raw vegetables
- Take very good probiotics
- I eat white meats
- I avoid dairy products from cows
- I avoid all the usual acid-reflux causing foods like tomato sauce, chocolate, coffee, soda, etc. Carob is a good chocolate replacement
- Take flax seed oil for good fat
- Take a good multi-vitamin every day
- Walk, walk, and more walking.... helps better and faster digestion
- Avoid processed foods... the closer to natural form is always best
- Avoid too much spices and seasonings in/on my food

Hi there Gozer, and welcome to healingwell. I would suggest that you start a post of your own to introduce yourself, and let people know you are here. Not everyone reads old posts.
I am glad you have found a post that you can relate to, and I am glad you found us. This is a great place for information and support! I do hope you stick with us.

Another option to the licorice tea is to try DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice) chewable tabs. DGL Ultra in german chocolate flavor from your local health store seems to work well for me. 20 mins before you eat--chew one. Give it a try.
Would be very interested to know if anyone has had success with the LES excercise. Seems simple enough--I am going to start and report in from time to time.

I've never been able to find an exercise for the LES. The closest I've come to that is eating a certain type of food that is sticky and doesn't just drop down the esophagus, but requires the esophagus muscles to force it down. For me that food is Kraft macaroni and cheese! If I eat a lot of that at once without taking a drink of water, it will collect in sort of a lump near the top of the esophagus, and when enough of it is there, I can actually feel the esophagus contract to force it down. It's almost painful, but not quite. But I don't eat that very often so I doubt it's enough to qualify as exercise for the LES. I haven't noticed this phenomenon with any other food I eat.
Another thought I had was eating while lying down, so that gravity wouldn't move food down the esophagus, and the muscles would have to work. But I can't do that since my LES doesn't close, so I'd just get extra acid damage from it.

Exercise for sphincter muscle
1- Anxiety and stress contribute to the problem of the dysfunctional muscle ring. You should attempt meditation and relaxation techniques to reduce stress or anxiety.
Breathing techniques for stress and anxiety::
It's preferable to stand up, count 5 seconds while taking a deep breath, inhaled and hold it for 5 seconds and exhaled very slowly.
Repeat 5 times in a row. Stop if you are feeling dizzy and try 3 seconds breathing instead of 5.
2- Visualizing techniques are proven beneficial to healing LES muscle.
It's a controversial issue debated within the medical community just like hypnosis. Nevertheless, people using these techniques claims it works.
Imagery exercise:
i- space: you must find a place that gives you the sensation of well being. It could be outside somewhere at a park or inside your house. As long as you don't get disturbed. This exercise should be done sitting or resting in a comfortable position.
ii- Next, do the breathing techniques as mention before to calm your mind and body.
3- script
imagery guide for healing and relaxing:
Close your eyes and imagine waking through an enchanting forest on a beautiful hot summer day. While peacefully following a path through the forest, you could hear birds chanting and falling water.Through the sounds of waterfalls, you clearly hear waves of voices calling you from far away.
Mesmerized by these unfamiliar voices, you finally arrive at the end of the trail where the woods
open up, and right in the middle of nowhere, stands this bewildering waterfall.
A majestic scene of colours, enlightens your eyes. Spell bound by this magnificent waterfall you decide to go under it. While golden light water trickles over your body, you notice a deep cut on one of your shoulders mysteriously disappears right before your eyes. You have suddenly discovered a powerful healing resource to cure your wounds. Unexpectedly, all your senses come alive as you start drinking the magical source. Within seconds, you could feel the tingling sensation of water passing through your food pipe slowly healing the inside of your stomach, a strange sensation of subtle and pleasing heat overwhelms your entire body while time stands still. You are now controlling the healing process, knowing you have the power to cure yourself.
Finally, you have reached a total state of euphoria.
Hours seem to have passed by and now its time for you to come back.
This place you have discovered, is your secret garden where you know you could come any time you desire to relax and heal yourself.
4- slowly re
open your eyes and try to keep the memory of this pleasant adventure.
Thank you for being here, and I hope this Guided imagery script
gave you relaxation.

Best Xbox 360 Exclusive
Winner: Gears of War 3
The crop of 360-exclusive titles was pretty thin, but what was there was damn impressive. Gears of War 3 is what you'd expect from one of the most influential IPs of this generation, and Forza Motorsport 4 could very well have pushed the franchise past Gran Turismo as the premier racing sim on the market. In the end, it was sawing grubs in two that prevailed.
"My vote definitely goes to Gears of War 3. It's the best in the series and easily one of the best 360 exclusives, period." — trf
"I played a bit of each, super impressed with Forza. It's what I wanted Gran Turismo to be. So that's my vote." — hero
"Gears 3 seems like the only logical choice." — Matt
Best PS3 Exclusive
Winner: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Sony's crop of PS3-exclusive games this year was fantastic, offering a good variety of different experiences. But once we learned when Uncharted 3 was releasing in 2011, was there ever any doubt?
"My pick was inFAMOUS 2, right up until I played Uncharted 3." — trf
"I voted for Uncharted 3 but I was going to go for inFamous 2. Both great games." — SnowHawk
"Great year for PS3, but Uncharted 3 was just amazing. Played though it multiple times and still am not sick of it." — One-Shot

"inFamous 2. Couldn't get enough of that one." — Deadpool
"InFamous 2 was a great continuation of the story, and was close to my pick for game of the year."
Game of the Year
Winner: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
2011 might very well have been the greatest year ever for video games, with several games that would easily win Game of the Year across the industry had they released by themselves. Alas, that was not the case, and there could only be one. Oddly enough, Uncharted 3 got the most votes but the least vocal support in the voting thread, just like in the Best Soundtrack thread.
"Uncharted 3 easily. Skyrim was good….but the plethora of bugs within it ruined GOTY for me. Batman..while fun, extremely overrated." — unicron7
"Out of all of the games I actually had time to get to this year (not much), none made me feel the way Portal 2 did. The co-op was great and all, but the single player (in my opinion) will be among the most memorable gaming experiences of my life." — hero
"i voted for Batman:AC because it was such an epic game." — SnowHawk
"I'm all for Skyrim. Despite the issues with the PS3 version, it's still an incredibly engrossing game and a landmark game in the history of RPGs." — trf
"This was a really hard vote for me because I think some deserve it more than my personal favorite (Dark Souls). Like Dead Space 2 and Portal 2." — +silent55
"Deus'y [Ed. note: Er, that'd be Deus Ex]" — Deadpool
"I know I'm alone on this one, but.. LittleBigPlanet 2!" — TheFirstAvenger

STEM Programs
Educational programs for students and community members of all ages
Our world is filled with future scientists, educators, and engineers who will someday make discoveries we can't begin to imagine. To support this burgeoning talent, TACC offers STEM programming for students of all ages, building the pipeline for the next generation of innovators. This programming is based on a relationship-centered approach to enable us to function as agents for change by creating content that is accessible for all audiences from K-12 to the general public.
For K-12 students:
We want to engage K-12 students in meaningful, educational experiences that will have an impact in their lives, empowering them to be full participants in STEM innovation. We want to create relationships with students and their families far beyond one-time interactions.
In this technology and data-driven era, students need to develop critical thinking, data and visualization interpretation, and leadership skills. These are necessary for the 21st century workforce. TACC is addressing this need through the development of Camp C3 (middle school) and CODE@TACC (high school).
Camp C3 (Create, Collaborate, Compute) is a one-week, summer STEM program that encourages middle school students to collaborate and compute using some of the world's most advanced technologies.
CODE@TACC is a two-week, summer program that exposes rising high school juniors and seniors to a variety of STEM careers by teaching the principles of high performance computing. The curriculum includes programming, parallel processing techniques, and visualization. Applications open Winter 2015.
In addition to summer programming, TACC provides educational tours throughout the year to increase awareness about the impact of science and technology; get students excited about STEM careers; and help students make the connection between STEM careers and their everyday lives. Request a tour.
For Undergraduates and Graduates:
To sustain the STEM pipeline, TACC provides year-long and summer research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. TACC is exposing these students to technologies that are directly applicable to the world we live in today.
Integrative Computational Education and Research Traineeship Research Experience for Undergraduates (ICERT) — This 10-week summer experience provides undergraduates with the training and hands-on experience in advanced computational systems needed to become a "game changer" in science and engineering research.
STAR Scholars — TACC's STAR Scholars program pairs UT Austin students having a background in computational science with TACC mentors to work on a project of interest to industry.
Please see Academic Courses to learn about additional education opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.

193 Tasting Notes
Decided to mix it up today and make a cup of green tea. This one is nice, smooth peachy tasting green. I actually bought a pouch of this for my mom at Christmas time to go in a tea tin my girls painted for her. She loves this one too!
That's a great idea for a christmas gift! I always would give my grandparents a handmade gift like that from my daughter for christmas. They cherished them so much more than anything I could have purchased.
SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Home with the kiddos and did round one of putting the snowsuits on and heading out. fun fun! Now enjoying this cup of tea to warm up! Love this stuff!
***************************Side note*********************** My dear aunt (who is like a sister to me) just joined Steepster her name is Dede. Follow her! :) And congrats to Dede for joining!
Oh this is REALLY good! I am so thankful Joy's Teaspoon so kindly sent me samples because it has introduced me to some more GREAT teas. I placed an order for a tin of spicy pear (a new favorite!) and I received my order in 3 days! super fast! I love the fact that the tea came labeled and in a nice tin. Along with the order they sent me two additional samples… english breakfast and almond cookie! I am drinking the almond cookie now and it is wonderful!
Cinnamon, almond cookie goodness! I am not usually a fan of herbal tisanes but this is one I could definitely see myself placing an order for. Also on a side note my three year old LOVES it! She was so happy when I told her it was a "cookie" tea.
I decided to get creative and blend this luscious lemon meringue with some black keemum and steep it for some iced tea. I added 3 parts luscious lemon to 1 part keemum and some rock sugar and it turned out super yummy!!!
I am sitting in the warmth of my house with this refreshing glass of lemony iced tea envisioning warmer weather!!!!! (and NO snow!!!!) Unfortunately, this is the closest I will get to that vision as we are to get another 6-12inches of snow this afternoon and evening :(
I ordered a tin of this because I am a Valentine Baby and could not resist trying this tea. (I also liked the red tin and valentine label :) Upon opening the can this tea smells strongly of chocolate. Very pleasant smelling. After steeping, the taste is more subtle chocolate with a touch of sweetness. I did not add any sugar to this and I am getting a nice cup of black tea with hints of chocolate and sweetness. Enjoyable while I have the tin but not something I need to keep a constant supply of.
I am finishing up the sample Joy's teaspoon sent me. This is definite on my order list!! You know a tea is good when crave another cup, and this one I craved!! I was so glad I had enough leaf to make another cup.
I added a touch of rock sugar this time and it bumped up the sweet/juiciness of the pear. Very nice! I am increasing my rating on this one because I am going to miss it until I place my order.
It is very good! I don't know if she is still sending samples out, but if you email [email protected] 2 or 3 sample requests she was sending them out for free. It was such a great way to try her teas, and I just placed an order for a tin of the spicy pear.
This is the third sample I received from Joy's Teaspoon. This is a nice lighter cinnamon tea. The cinnamon is not hot spicy cinnamon more subtle cinnamon. This tea has a bakey feel to it. It was a pleasant cup. Thanks again Naomi for the samples! I have definitely added the spicy pear and creamsicle to my shopping list!
This is so good on this cold winter day here in Pennsylvania!!! Reminds me of the warm days of summer. My daughter and I enjoyed this sample tonight. She really liked it because it was gone in no time! She actually asked for more but between my huge mug and hers the sample was gone. Looks like that one will go on the order as well. The orange is not too tangy and the yogurt gives it the taste very close to a creamsicle popsicle!! When I do order this one I want to try it iced. I think it would be super yummy on ice! I appreciate Naomi sending me this sample. So far I am really enjoying Joy's Teaspoon's teas!!
This is my first tea from Joy's Teaspoon. She kindly sent me 3 free samples and they arrived super fast! Very impressed with the speed. I am also impressed with this tea.
It has a sweet pear taste… but not overly sweet. The pear taste is also like a ripe juicy pear… super yummy! Then right after the juicy pear taste you get a touch of spice. This tastes like cinnamon. Not hot cinnamon like red hots but spice cinnamon like you put on applesauce, oatmeal, etc. This is definite one I would order! I am looking forward to trying the other two samples. Thank you again Naomi!
This tea is so good! Things are starting to look up! I just got off the phone with breville and they had me do some things and now my breville one touch teamaker is working again!!! SO HAPPY! This calls for celebration, maybe a Harney order to replenish my stash of Hot cinnamon spice and this tea! LOL

KCETLink, the struggling parent company of former PBS outlet KCET-TV, has added two more boldface names to its board of directors.
Jeffrey Levine is the vice president and head of television for Random House Studio, a film production arm of the well-known book publisher.
Dan German is the founder and general partner of Fort Mason Asset Management, a money management firm in San Francisco.

The additions bring the total of directors at KCET to 21. That includes Al Jerome, KCET's longtime chief who recently announced his upcoming retirement.
"We welcome their exceptional leadership and business savvy as we search for a new chief executive," board chairman Dick Cook wrote in a statement announcing the moves.
KCET, now based in Burbank, left PBS in 2010 after longtime disputes over dues and other issues. The station has since struggled with fundraising and low ratings.

Keegan waits on Parlour scan
Ray Parlour's chances of making England's Euro 2000 squad rest on the results of a scan on a knee ligament injury he suffered against Brazil.
Parlour was due to have the problem assessed by a specialist and the ensuing results will hold the key to one of coach Kevin Keegan's toughest decisions.
The Arsenal star is thought to be battling for a spot in the final 22 with fellow midfielders Jamie Redknapp, Kieron Dyer and Nick Barmby.
And Keegan admitted: "Ray is certainly not fit enough to be considered against the Ukraine and it is a concern at this late stage.
"If the message comes back that it's going to be a week to 10 days, there will definitely not be a problem.
"I have to make the decision as to whether that is a risk I can take."
Of the incident that has hit Parlour's Euro 2000 hopes, Keegan added: "Ray's so unlucky because he was only on the pitch for a short time," he said.

Kate Upton may be one of the world's most popular supermodels, but her appeal isn't universal.
Supermodel Carol Alt, 53, told the Huffington Post recently that she thinks Upton, 21, is overrated. "What I don't understand with Kate is, like, what's all the hullabaloo?" Alt told HuffPo. "I don't get what all the hullabaloo is."

text: Hey, first of all, my menu system was 4.2 (USA), i have wiikey 2, and also some soft modding to use usb loaders. Have homebrew, and for some reason, bootmii was removed as primary boot just a few days before this mess. The problem was today, i tried to install a new wii theme, and the installing process was perfect, then the app quit itself and i was sent to homebrew, then i restarted the wii to see the theme. And i get nothing more than a black screen! I have been searching info, and I saw the savemiifrii, and it works perfectly in my wii. But i dont know what to do after the 4.2 (USA) sign appears in the black screen. I saw in some places that putting a disc with newer system could help, the only one I know is Metroid Other M right? But Im not sure if it will work with Wiikey 2. And its dual layer disk :S what can i do? Please help me! Is there any other game with 4.3, or another way to fix the F!"#%!" system....:(

lightest thing ever
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Its uber light. It does what its supposed to. The forearms fit a little tight, and the fixed width cuff is hard to deal with when taking it off, but I have that problem with lots of things. I always have this in my pack.
