|Ship Quality
|Exceptionally clean. Get up from your table and it'll be cleaned before you return with seconds. Beautiful seating areas to just watch the ocean go by. The buffet's were on the 9th level which gave me an opportunity for some exercise taking the stairs because you can't help but eat too much. Conveniently located on the same level as the open deck which was nice to get your food and go sit outside.
|Service and Staff
|The couldn't have been more accommodating or friendly. All the staff were helpful, friendly. When overindulgence caused a button to pop off a pair of pants, within 15 minutes we had a sewing needle and threat to fix it.
|Food and Dining
|The food was fantasice no matter what or where you chose to eat. We ate in the dining room a couple nights and the service and food is unbeatable. The convenience of the buffets was another plus since they served a fairly wide time for each meal. Only occasionally was it so busy that you had to wait in line, and even that wasn't very long. Tried many different types of food that we don't have the opportunity to try normally. Always excellent quality - even the buffets - the food just never sat long so it was always like it was being freshly served.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|Absolutely outstanding. We never heard a sound from neighboring rooms or the upstairs lounge, which we were directly below. Our room was on level 1 which seemed to have less motion when out to sea. That was important, especially the first couple days until you get used to being on a boat.
|The schedule was well planned. Time spent in ports at small towns were shorter than larger cities. Good planning - cause there was nothing to do after a couple hours. Entertainment was fantastic, shows that we would not normally attend we went to just because it was free and something to do. But after the first night we realized that it was very enjoyable and excellent quality of entertainment. Great singers and dancers and a joy to watch. The ships cruise director and asst criuse director even participated in the entertainment, and were some of the most talented on the ship. I was impressed and looked forward to seeing anything that they were a part of.

|Sitka, Alaska
|hiked through the park with the totem poles, very pretty. Wanted to see the chocolate factory that offered tours, but there was no way to get there. They should have a bus or something that takes people out there as it was too far to walk.
|Skagway, Alaska
|Took a train ride up the mountain. Very pretty, many waterfalls along the way.
|Ketchikan, Alaska
very crowded. Went on a zip line adventure - that was exciting.
Don't Miss: Creek street
|Juneau, Alaska
Mendenhall glacier. Took a tour bus up to the glacier and spent an hour hiking around.
Don't Miss: Took the tram up the side of the mountain and hiked the trails. beautiful sites. good exercise.

I'm feeling rather stupid.
So a little over two years ago I started taking the code from PowPow and turning it into a library. That became HappyFunTimes which I've spent the better part of 2 years working on. (more…)
I'm feeling rather stupid.
So a little over two years ago I started taking the code from PowPow and turning it into a library. That became HappyFunTimes which I've spent the better part of 2 years working on. (more…)
This article is targeted at people who've started learning web programming. They'd made a few web pages with JavaScript. Maybe they've made a paint program using 2d canvas or a 3d scene using three.js. Maybe it's an audio sound maker, maybe it's a tile map editor. At some point they wonder "how do I save files"?
Maybe they have a save button that just puts all the data into a textarea and presents it to the user and says "copy this and paste it into notepad to save".
Well, the way you save in a web page is you save to a web server. OH THE HORROR! I hear you screaming WHAT? A server? Why would I want to install some giant server just to save data?
Well I'm here to show you a web server is not a giant piece of software. In fact it's tiny. The smallest web server in many languages can be written in a few lines of code.
So using node.js here is the smallest web server
var http = require('http'); function handleRequest(request, response){ response.end('Hello World: Path = ' + request.url); } http.createServer(handleRequest).listen(8000, function() { });
Now, all these 5 lines do is return "
Hello World:: Path = <path>" for every page but really that's the basics of a web server. Looking at the code above without even explaining it you could imagine looking at
request.url and deciding to do different things depending on what the url is. One URL might save, one might load, one might login, etc. That's really it.
Let's explain these 5 lines of code
var http = require('http');
require is the equivalent of
import in python or
#include in C++ or
using in C# or in JavaScript using

If you now save that and run your server then go to
http://localhost:8000/test.html you should be able to type some text in the savedata area and click "save". After words click "load" and you'll see it got loaded. Check your hard drive and you'll see a file has been created.
Now of course again this is insecure. For example if you type in "text.html" in the save filename and pick "save" it's going to overwrite your "text.html" file. Maybe you should pick a different route instead of "*" in the
app.put('*' line. Maybe you want to add check if the file exists with another kind of method and only update if the user is really sure.
The point of this article was not to make a working server. It was to show you how easy making a server is. A server like this that saves local files is probably only useful for things like an internal tool you happened to write in JavaScript that you and/or your team needs. They could run a small server like this on their personal machines and have your tool load, save, get folder listings, etc.
But, seeing how easy it is also hopefully demystifies servers a little. You can start here and then graduate to whole frameworks that let users login and share files remotely.
I should also mention you can load and save files to things like Google Drive or Dropbox. Now you know what they're basically doing behind the scenes.
It started with a legit concern. The majority of websites were served using HTTP. HTTP is insecure. So what you might be thinking? HTTPS is used on my bank and amazon and anywhere I might spend money so it seems not a problem. Except … HTTP allows injections. Ever use some bad hotel or bad airport WiFi and get a banner injected at the top of the screen? That's HTTP vs HTTPS. Are you sure those articles you're reading are the originals? Maybe someone is changing words, pictures, or ads. HTTPS solves these issues.
So, the browser vendors and other standards bodies got together and made a big push for HTTPS only. Sounds great right!?
Well instead of just pushing metaphorically by putting out the word, "Stop using HTTP! Start using HTTPS" the browser vendors got together and decided to try to kill off HTTP completely. Their first order of business was to start requiring HTTPS to use certain features in the browser. Want to go fullscreen? Your site must be served from HTTPS. Want to read the orientation and motion data of the phone from the browser? Your website must use HTTPS. Want to be able to ask the user for permission to access to mic or the camera? Your website must use HTTPS.
Okay well that certainly can be motivating to switch to HTTPS as soon as possible.
Except … HTTPS requires certificates. Those certificates can only be acquired from Certificate Authorities. CAs for short. CAs charge money for these certificates. $50 per certificate or more. Often the certificates only last for a limited time so you've got to pay every year or 2.
Suddenly every website just got more expensive.
Okay you say but that's still not a ton of money.
Yes but, maybe you've got an innovative project. One that lets any user access their media from their browser(example). You'd like to let them go fullscreen but you can't unless it serves the media pages as HTTPS. The rules of HTTPS say your not allowed to share certs ever. If you get caught sharing your cert will be invalidated. So, you can't give each of these people running your innovated software a copy of your cert. Instead every user needs their own cert. Suddenly your software just got a lot more expensive! What if your software was free and open source? In 2015 people were able to run it for free. In 2016 the are now required to get a cert for $50
So what do you do? Well you hear about self-signed certs. So you check those out. Turns out they require complex installation into your OS. Your family and aunts and uncles and cousins and nephews and nieces aren't going to find that really manageable. And besides there's the feature where anyone can come to a party at your places and queue some music videos using their phone's browser but that's never going to fly if they have to first install this self-signed cert. Official certs from CAs don't have this issue. They just work.
Okay well you shop around for CA's. Dear CA#1 will you give my users free certs? No! Dear CA#2 will you give my users free certs? No!
Oh I hear you say, there's a new kid on the block, letsencrypt, they offer free certs.
They do offer free certs BUT, certs are tied to domain names. To get a cert from letsencrpyt you have to have a domain. Example "mymediastreamer.org". So even if you can get the cert for free your users now need to buy a domain name. That can be relatively cheap at $10-$20 a year but it's a big technical hurdle. Your non-tech family members are not really going to be able to go through all the process of getting a domain name just to use your media server.
Oh I hear you say, what if my software ran a public DNS server. I could issue users subdomains like "
Ok then here's a solution. We'll make up domains like this "
Great! We have domains. We can get free certs from letsencrypt.
Except….letsencrypt limits the number of certs to 240 per root domain. So once you have 240 you can't get more certs. That means we can only support 240 users at best. But then there's another problem. Letsencrpt doesn't support wildcard certs. Because we added the
Effectively we are S.O.L. For our purposes letsencrypt is just another CA. "CA#3 can we please have free certs for our users?" No!
As of 2015 we could do anything we wanted on the internet. Now in 2016 we need permission from a CA. If the CA doesn't give permission we don't get on the internet.
To put it another way because of the chain of validation in HTTPS each CA is effectively a little king/bureaucrat who gets to decide who gets on the internet and who doesn't. If one king doesn't let you your only option is to go ask another king. Letsencyrpt is the most generous king as they don't ask for tribute but that doesn't change the fact you still need permission from one of these kings.
You might be thinking, "so what? who cares about a media streamer?". But it's not just streamers. It's "ANY DEVICE OR SOFTWARE THAT SERVES A WEBPAGE". Got an IP camera that serves a webpage? That camera wants to give you a nice interface that goes fullscreen? It can't without certs and it can't get certs without permission from a CA. Got some Raspberry PI project that wants to serve a webpage and needs any of the banned features? Again, it can't do it without a cert and it can't get a cert without permission from a CA. Maybe you have a NAS device and it would like provide web page access? It can't do it without a cert and it can't get certs without permission from a CA.
That wasn't the case just 6 months ago because HTTPS wasn't required. Now that it is these kings all just got a bunch more power and innovative products like the media streamer described above and projects like this are effectively discouraged unless you can beg or bribe a king to ordain them. 🙁
Sorry to rant on this more but sheesh! How much does it take?
So I want to watch the filesystem for changes. Unfortunately node's
fs.watch isn't OS independant. Some OSes return individual files. Other OSes just return the parent folder changed. I'm sure there's some legit reason like perf not to fix this for all devs but whatever. I assume there must be a library that fixes it.
So I search NPM. Maybe I should be using Google to search NPM because NPMs results are usually pretty poor but after searching a while I find this
watch module. It's got nearly 700k downloads in the last month and tons of dependents so it must be good.
Given my prior experience the first thing I check is how many dependencies does it list?
Okay only 2 but they are both related to command line stuff. WTF does a library have command line dependencies? Oh, I see this library is conflated with a utility that watches for changes and launches a specified program anytime a file changes. Sigh… ?
Okay well let's look through the dependencies. It's not too deep. Fine, maybe I'll live with it if it works.
Ok I file an issue "Separate library from command line?" and move on.
A quick glance at the code and it doesn't appear to abstract the issues I need fixed but it's easy to test. So I write some test code
var watch = require('watch'); var dir = process.argv[2]; console.log("watching: ", dir); var options = { ignoreDotFiles: true, // - When true this option means that when the file tree is walked it will ignore files that being with "." filter: function() { return true; }, // - You can use this option to provide a function that returns true or false for each file and directory to decide whether or not that file/directory is included in the watcher. ignoreUnreadableDir: true, // - When true, this options means that when a file can't be read, this file is silently skipped. ignoreNotPermitted: true, // - When true, this options means that when a file can't be read due to permission issues, this file is silently skipped. ignoreDirectoryPattern: /node_modules/, // - When a regex pattern is set, e.g. /node_modules/, these directories are silently skipped. }; watch.createMonitor(dir, options, function(monitor) { monitor.on('created', function(f, s) { show("created", f, s ); }); monitor.on('removed', function(f, s, s2) { show("removed", f, s, s2); }); monitor.on('changed', function(f, s) { show("changed", f, s ); }); }); function show(event, f, s, n) { console.log(event, f); }
I run it and pass it my temp folder which has a ton of crap in it including lots of sub folders.
I edit
temp/foo.txt and see it print
changed: temp/foo.txt. I delete
temp/foo.txt and see it print
removed: temp/foo.txt. I create a
temp/foo.txt and see it print
created: temp/foo.txt.
So far so good. Let's test one more thing.
I look for a subfolder since I've only been changing stuff in the root of the folder I'm watching. I just happen to pick
temp/delme-eslint/node_modules/foo. BOOM! It prints

BUG!!! Really, I used it for 5 minutes ran into bug and yet 700k downloads and a ton of dependents are using this buggy library. Sigh….?
Now the question is (a) fix it or (b) write my own.
Yes I know there are good arguments for fixing it. Just last month 700k downloads = 700k fixed downloads next month probably. But of course it possible means arguing with the author, jumping through their hoops. And, I still don't know if it solves the problem I want solved.
On top of that I there's at least one thing I wanted to re-design I think. Not only do I want the tree to be watched, I want to know what's in the tree. It kind of seems like that should be one operation. In other words I don't want to call some other function to scan the tree to get the list of all things in it and then separately call another function to watch the tree. If I do that then a file that's created between the first scan and the watch will never show up. It will also be twice as slow AFAICT as the the watch has to scan as well. So, now yet another discussion to be haggled over if I decide to fix vs do it myself.
The worst part is the thing I wanted to do I thought would take all of 20 minutes if that functionality I was looking for existed. Now will also probably take 8x as long to fix vs do it myself on top of writing the feature I was originally setting out to d. Probably not fair but (a) no negociation and (b) I feel more obligated to right tests for fixing but not for my own code ?
I filed a bug on that issue but I didn't purse fixing it. Instead I wrote my own. It took about 20hrs of solid work. Probably only a 2 hours to write but 18 hours to test across 3 platforms and learn new issues. I found out ubuntu, osx, windows, and travis-ci's containers all behave differently in this area. I'm sure I didn't catch all the stuff and I still would like to write another 4-8 hours of tests but I need to move on and it's working so far.
Some things that were interesting is where to make the divisions, what features to put in. For example the most used library I linked to above, the buggy one, has options for ignoring dot files (files that start with
.) as well as an option to give it a regular expression to filter (the one that didn't actually work). After writing mine I found another library that takes complex globs and has debouncing features.
I feel like those features should be layers. It's probably as little as one line of code to filter. Example:
var watcher = new SimpleTreeWatcher(pathToWatch, { filter: (filepath) => { return path.basename(filepath)[0] !== '.'); }, });
So why clutter the library with options when doing it this way keeps the library simple and let's people be as complex or simple as they want. It seems better to just provide a few examples of how to filter than have a bunch of options.
Similarly the debouncing can relatively easily be layered on top. I should add examples to the docs but at least I have something that's working for me so far.
So this commentary on some other commentary is making the rounds.
Let me first make it clear I'm 100% on the side of less crunch. You'll probably forget that after reading my comments but, at least try to remember.
So I agree with Rami's commentary I just wanted to call out a few things (more…)
Just a few random things from GDC 2016 (more…)
I stumbled upon this amazing video called "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Dynamic Typing for Practical Programs"
It's about 50mins long and unfortunately vimeo has no fast playback options like youtube so I'd suggest you download it and view it in VLC then click Ctrl+ or Cmd+ to speed up
In any case he makes a very compelling argument that static typing isn't really all that. His argument is LOOK AT THE DATA!!! Everyone has opinions. People believe static typing catches bugs. People believe static typing helps document code. People believe static typing makes IDEs work better and therefore save time, etc. BUT … those are all just beliefs not backed up by any data. He points out that so far all the studies suggest that's not true. He claims 5 years ago he was a static type believer but after looking up the research and doing some of his own he's convinced static typing is a net negative.
You should really watch the talk but I'll try to sum it up here (more…)
So Stack Overflow apparently requires attribution?!??
This has apparently always been the case but it came up recently because they were planning to change the license.
This made me wonder, why? Why should I attribute SO? I certainly don't want attribution for all my time spend on Stack Overflow. Most of the stuff I look up on Stack Overflow is just the same stuff I could find on MDN or MSDN or some reference manual for some library somewhere but it's more work to read the entire manual front to back to grok it than it is to just google it and end up getting pointed to the answer on SO. (more…)
I'm still using an iPhone. I just got a 6S+ W…T…F..!! APPLE!! (more…)
I was going to start this as a rant for how bad most docs are but instead I'll just list what I think are some best practices. I know no one will read this but what else can I do 😉 (more…)

"The better integrated, the higher the risk of radicalization.Author: Dr. Marion van San, Senior Researcher at RISBO, an independent research institute, active in the field of learning and society that is affiliated with the Faculty of Social Sciences at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Since 2009 she has conducted ethnographic studies of families of radicalizing youths.Since we know that many young people left Belgium, but also from other European countries, to join the armed conflict in Syria, a fierce debate has erupted. However, the debate as conducted in Belgium is permeated by a series of stereotypes, that are not consistent with what is known from international literature, and that block a proper analysis of the phenomenon.That young people from Europe who leave for Syria are victims of a society that does not accept them, and does not offer them sufficient opportunities – a proposition that Rik Coolsaet has supported in an earlier edition of this newspaper – is however not supported by empirical evidence. Not only in literature on Islamic extremism, but also on terrorism in general and terrorism of any kind, the conclusion is always the same: it does not always concern people with low socioeconomic status. Neither does it always concern the marginalized and the frustrated, or people with a psychiatric disorder. The Belgian families from which the young people have left, are not all from the lower classes, and the young people who left are not all unskilled and frustrated. For the discrimination they are suggested to be victims of, there has usually been little empirical evidence. In recent years, a lot of international research has been conducted on radicalism and extremism. What it shows is that young men and women who radicalize and sometimes indulge in extremism, often come from middle-class families. There are also a few examples of young men and women who belong to upper class families. Keep in mind that the hijackers in the September 11 attacks, mostly came from prominent families. There is another important point to remember. Low socioeconomic status and lack of opportunity are a reality for a very large group of people, but only very few of them take the extremist path. And if lack of opportunity would indeed lead to extremism, the poorest countries in the world would supply most extremists. And we know that this is not the case. Are there no destitute ones amongst those who leave? Of course there are, and those are the ones Coolsaet writes about. But again, the group that left to join the armed conflict in Syria, is much more diverse than he suggests.Another common stereotype in the debate in Belgium is that, despite research that refutes this, radicalization is still far too often misunderstood as a process resulting from failed integration. Research however suggests that it is the so-called integration paradox that is a breeding ground for radicalization. What is meant by this paradox is that the children and grandchildren of immigrants, who were born and raised here, focus heavily on Belgian society. They seek social acceptance and mobility, and do everything possible to integrate. The result is that they have higher social expectations than others and are often more sensitive to exclusion and (alleged) discrimination. Negative experiences can turn them away from society and cause them to seek refuge in a deviant group identity.I therefore dare say that the better young people are integrated, the greater the chance is that they radicalize. This hypothesis is supported by a lot of evidence. Often young people who have been radicalized were very Western-oriented before their radicalization; they were drinking alcohol and would often use soft drugs. In a later stage of their life they started to concern themselves more and more with their faith, or converted to Islam and consequently radicalized in no time. In many cases they completed their education or held a job and have friends from mixed ethnical backgrounds.What stands out in the debate of these recent weeks and months, is that not only standard explanations are given for the departure of so many young people, but also only standard solutions are brought forward; solutions that are actually meant for different problems. It has become too risky to persevere in such false solutions now that the problem has become a matter of life and death. The fact that the group that we are dealing with is so diverse, immediately shows the difficulty of finding a suitable solution. We know that fighting poverty is not enough to counter radicalism and extremism. We should also not expect too much from proposals to address youth unemployment. This is not a plea to change the fundamentals of current policies to address poverty, or to stop combatting racism in the workplace and in the job market. But we should not cherish the illusion that these measures will curb radicalism and extremism. To really understand the group that we are dealing with here, we need a deep understanding of the young people and the families they come from, in order to gradually distance ourselves from the stereotypes that too often dominate the debate. Everything else is a waste of time and energy.

That is because stupid Muslims can't read.
Please: Break the text into paragraphs next time. Almost unreadable in a block.
I've gone searching on websites in regard to warehouse handling pc software and have found in this
Just because a person is a Muslim doesn't automatically mean they're a bad person or an enemy of non-Muslims. However, the closer fundamentalist adherents follow its tenets the more barbaric and savage the repression of human rights and modernity. This is true not only in the context of the seventh century desert culture where worship of the moon goddess al-Lah was founded, but most certainly in the twenty-first century.
In Submission's (Islam's) name many many millions of people have been slaughtered, raped, castrated, and enslaved by its fundamentalist adherents. It's most likely that while you're reading this comment, innocent victims are being killed because they refuse to submit or convert.
Consider the blasphemous arrogance of those who believe that the almighty creator of all things needs them personally to violently defend every real or imagined insult. That concept is an insult to Islam.
Fortunately, It's possible that there are individual Muslims who reject the core xenophobic imperialistic supremacist misogynistic tenets of the ideology of Submission (Islam). If that's the case, those people are not a threat to the exercise of the freedoms of religion and speech, progress, democracy, human development, and Western Civilization itself.
Within the USA traitor politicians are forcing Islam's adherents upon the citizens. Anger is growing. If this travesty continues the possibility of a Revolutionary War Two grows. Tyrants will be removed along with their tyranny. When the righteous anger of the citizenry is unleashed the battle will be swift and decisive.

Britain's chief rabbi, Lord Sacks, has accused David Cameron of failing to do enough to encourage marriage and says multiculturalism in Britain has "had its day".
Lord Sacks said the prime minister should recognise marriage in the tax system and do more to support mothers who stay at home to look after their children.
"I think the government has not done enough [to encourage marriage]," he said in an interview with The Times.
"Although I don't take a political stance ... I don't think the government has done enough at all."
Lord Sacks, who retires next month after 22 years in the post, said the estimated £9bn-a-year cost of family breakdown and "non-marriage" meant the state had a direct interest in promoting marriage.
"[The government] should certainly recognise marriage in the tax system, it should certainly give more support to mothers who stay at home or for childcare provision," he said.
"I don't believe in getting involved in the details but the principle is pretty clear."
His comments are likely to irritate ministers as the chancellor, George Osborne, has already promised a tax break for married couples in his autumn statement, despite the opposition of the Conservatives' Liberal Democrat coalition partners.
Lord Sacks also said multiculturalism in Britain had had led to "segregation and inward-looking communities".
Comparing it to a hotel where "nobody is at home", he said: "It doesn't belong to anyone, we've each got our own room and so long as we don't disturb the neighbours we can do whatever we like."
But he acknowledged the difficulties faced by British Muslims when they tried to assimilate.
"We've had 26 centuries of experience which most Muslims haven't," he said. "The norm was for Muslims to live under a Muslim jurisdiction and the norm since the destruction of the first temple was for Jews to live under a non-Jewish jurisdiction."

Cuppa'T Specialty TeasEdit Company
Popular Teas from Cuppa'T Specialty TeasSee All 86 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
Twelve hour cold brew for work. I actually remembered to keep my water bottle in the fridge during my shift so it was perfectly icy fresh all day! Basically as refreshing as could possibly be! I definitely needed it too, my shift was pretty iffy.
We started out the day just completely fucking swamped with last minute Easter shoppers who cleared out all our Easter stock, including the candy and baskets. For the rest of the day we had pissed off shoppers upset that we were sold out of Easter stuff. I pretended to be apologetic to all of them; but really after the third or fourth I just wanted to shout at all of them "if you needed Easter candy this badly you shouldn't have waited until the last minute!".
Then the other keyholder who was supposed to be closing with me (it's a two person job; one for paperwork and one for cash) called in and said she wasn't showing up. So, I had to get a cashier to stay the extra hour for closing – but I still had to do all the work (paperwork and cash) because she had no closing training/wasn't a keyholder. She still had to be there though, because since I'm handling thousands of dollars two people must be present for security reasons…
This was pretty decent as a drink though; it was like a combination of Tim Horton's peach drink and an overripe peach puree, heavy on the "stone" taste of the stone fruit. You all know that taste; it's hard to explain but very distinct.
Other than that, I didn't pick up a whole lot of other flavours.
I gotta admit, I was one of those last-minute shoppers yesterday. We were at the local grocery and I really wanted to get a cheesecake. They didn't have any in the display, but they did have some at the back. After a few minutes I came back and they had one ready for me, but I felt so bad – the ladies who were working the bakery looked like they were crazy-busy, what with all of the cakes and putting special icing on cookies and cupcakes. I bet the shift couldn't end quickly enough.
Cold brewed this while I was at work, and when I got home i immediately strained it and started to drink it. I'm trying really hard to remember what I wrote last time, but I know I had some difficulties finishing it and something was bugging me. Some sort of weird taste…
Whatever was bugging me isn't anymore though; a shorter cold steep time must have been the solution.
This tastes flavourful and refreshing with sweet peach, apricot, and… pear(!?) notes. It's pretty decent overall – and better from what I'm remembering it being. So that's a pretty good thing. I still don't have the "fireworks" I've been wanting all day, though! I think, once I finish this any my other timolino tea, I'm going to break out the stuff from Dexter and see if I have some success…
Still; this has improved and that gives me hope!
EDIT: I realize this is all over the place. It took me like 40 minute to write it; I kept getting very distracted by loads of different things and my thoughts weren't coherent.
Part of my birthday present from my mom/little sister. I didn't ask for this one, but I was still pretty happy to receive it because it's yet another blend for me to try cold brewing! It smells pretty good; like fuzzy peach candy without the sour sugar (so just the chewy peach part) and apples. It also has the same "stony"/pitt and overripe smell/quality that I thought RiverTea's Sweet Helen pear blend had. How interesting.
The leaf cold brewed for nine hours, and I can't figure out whether or not it needed more of less time sitting, because as far as the taste goes it's a little… funky?
Like, there's a sweetness to the tea and I am reminded of overripe peaches and faintly of pineapple – but there's also this background flavoured that reminds me of unsweetened apple juice or applesauce, and I think that's the flavour that really lingers the longest. It's not all that lovely. Maybe it's the chamomile doing weird things, or maybe it's just my general fickleness towards peach.
My theory, anyway, is that less steep time would maybe make this softer with less of the weird underlying taste or that more steep time would make this juicier and cover up the ickyness. The fear? That either way the ick will be more noticeable (either because there's less peach in the case of less steep time or because it's gotten stronger from more steep time). There's room for experimentation, though! And – I can always still try this one hot too!
Flavors: Apricot, Peach, Stonefruits
Sad Sipdown (114)!
This is a queued tasting note.
Cold brew to finish off this tasty, but "out of season" blend. The melon was very exaggerated with lots of sweet vanilla notes to soften it up, and a brisker, more bold black base than usual. I love this blend but having the extra tin space for incoming Dammann Freres blends is probably a good thing, and this is not a blend I'll be drinking regularly during the summer.
More than likely I'm going to be going up to Regina again for Christmas though, so I'll stop in to Cuppa'T like I usually do and take a look to see if they've brought it back for the Winter season – I'd definitely like to get to drink this one again.
Today's word of the day is… Pittance.
Pittance is "a small portion or allowance, especially of money". It's funny; this last paycheck I kind of started doing that with my money without knowing there was a word for that. I just considered it a kind of budgeting. But basically I set aside the amount of money I normally do for rent/food and stuff, and then I divided the rest of the money by the amount of days left before next payday – the number is the amount of spending money/impulse money I have each day, and if I want to spend more than that I have to not spend money on a prior day. It's working well so far!
Drinking this right now for breakfast (last note to write; I'm caught up after this one). It's got that usual vanilla/melon flavour, and then also a milder mintiness to it. Unfortunately I gave it maybe two minutes too long steeping, so there's a bitter edge that's actually making me feel a little nauseated drinking.
I don't think that bitterness would usually make me feel sick; it's likely just that I've yet to have anything to eat today so my stomach is especially flippy floppy. Maybe if the girl at the store next door isn't too busy I'll ask her to watch my Kiosk for a few minutes, and I'll go grab something from the food court…
Made in my timolino, and I drank about half of it hot at work and it was delicious (I shared a bit with Bobbi and she liked it too; which is very redeeming since the last one I shared was the awful Mujicha). However, then I came home from work and still had half a timolino with tea, and as I expressed in my Coconut Grove note this morning I fell asleep soon after getting home…
Well, I'm drinking the second half of the timolino now; and it's gone ice cold. For perspective, this was made over 24 hours ago. But you know what, it still holds up really well. I mean, it's a bit bitter which wasn't the case yesterday when I had it hot; but it's still very flavourful with lots of really yummy vanilla/melon notes (and banana?). I think if you made this one iced by flash chilling it (as opposed to letting it sit 24 hours) it'd be really good!
Apologies for the TMI, but I just felt the need to share that I just made hot, sloppy, passionate love with the Ice Princess, and now we're going for round two. Keychange might have her love affair with The Queen, and VariaTEA might have her thing with Japon, but I think what the Ice Princess and I have is pretty real too!
But no, in all seriousness; this tea is AMAZING. It's the best vanilla/melon/mint/whatever is actually in this tea I've ever had and every cup is pretty damn spectacular. I still have probably around 30g of this one left, but already I'm feeling that sense of impending panic that it's not going to be enough and that I'm going to run out and not be able to restock.
That last part might be kind of true; you can't really order online from Cuppa'T, and I'm not sure when I'll be back in Regina next to pick more up. But you can be sure that I will when I do make it back there again, whenever it is.
You know what though? It feels silly, but if I had to describe this tea in one word (I mean, it's pretty hard to describe using as many words as you want; the flavour is just so damn unique) it'd probably be melancholy.
But yeah; can't wait for my next love making session with my princess.
Flavors: Green Melons, Melon, Vanilla
why not just call them and order? you'll have to give them a CC number, but if you're enamoured a well placed call will bring you your princess in all likelihood… 1.306.352.4411 =0)
@James, it's easier to just wait until I'm in town next. It's bound to happen eventually, all my family lives there and I don't think I can escape them forever. Jules (the woman who owns Cuppa'T) is pretty fantastic, but I think she only does large orders through calls/online – and I just want the one tea (or two, if she has Dragonfruit Cranberry back in stock).
it does quite awesome……
ew family…. sorry, that's me and mine.
most of my family live on the island together-ish….. we avoid each other like the plague but use the excuse 'sorry, i've been busy,'
Looks like the houseguests cleared challenge #2, and now they're onto challenge #3 and have to tether themselves together. Should be interesting…
I really wish I had the ingredients list for this blend because it's fascinating in flavour but very hard to describe. I love it though. I can see this as an instant favourite and something I'd need to always have stocked. I just don't own anything like it.
Pretty much, I get a very light black base with no bitterness or astringency, and then sweet notes of vanilla (this flavour is strong), some kind of mint (I want to say wintergreen), melon, and some very light (and not "rind" or "Pledge like") lemon. But no clue how accurate that ingredients list/summary is. I don't even have a product description for this one – which is a little frustrating. Maybe I'll email Jule (the owner) and ask for the ingredients list. I know it's there in store, but this blend isn't up on the site. She was really helpful when I wanted the list of ingredients for the Pumpkin Pie Fruit Tea she sells.
But yes – I adore this one already, and fear that it's going to be quickly consumed. If you're up in Regina and can stop at the store, I highly recommend picking this one up! It's enchanting.
Flavors: Melon, Vanilla
Finally have this in my cupboard!
I really regretted not picking it up when I went to Cuppa'T early/mid January – so I made a request for it from my family in Regina to get as a birthday tea! My mom may have goofed and picked up some less than stellar looking blends instead of my precious Monk's Blend – but she delivered by picking this one up!
I wish I had an ingredients list – but it smells/tastes like some glorious combinations of vanilla, lemon, and wintergreen mint. Mmm! It also has these amazing sugar snowflake crystals which are so cute, and as I learned today delicious.
This was my Dad's pick for tea this afternoon and I couldn't resist stealing some to try. It's in the kitchen cupboard right now, because I'm going to need a cup to myself sooner rather than later!
Also, that's the last of the backlog! Hip hip hooray! So, yay for hopefully not getting this backlogged again for a long time.
Reserving my rating until I've had a cup to myself.
I have a lot of green teas in my cupboard. I used to kind of like green tea so I bought a bunch of different kinds of tea, some large amounts, some samples, some straight, some flavoured, a couple bagged, the rest loose. I was just trying things out.
Then I decided I am not the hugest green tea fan. I much prefer dark roasted oolongs and black teas. I don't mind greens, but I have much more in my cupboard than is feasible to drink. But like any good tea drinker [addict], I will keep them in my cupboard until I drink them, or drink most of them.
In saying that, I do like to have a small cup (4oz) of green tea after lunch at work, I have to a lot (and I mean A LOT) of talking/verbal teaching at work. No matter what I eat for lunch, I always feel bloated and burp-y when I have to immediately launch into a speech after lunch. So I like to have a bit of green tea which seems to help calm my lunch-stomache. Of all green teas, sencha is my all time favorite, dragon well is a close second, but I like to have my sencha. And some of you may or may not agree, but it is hard to find a good sencha.
I picked this one up at my local tea shop. It smells like delicious sencha. Like buttered steamed greens. The taste is a bit bland. Not as strong as the smell. I would like it to be a bit more buttery. But it is smooth and silky. The vegetal part of the green tea is a bit more steamed cabbage than steemed spinach. I will definitely be able to drink this at work. I may try for a bit longer steep next time.
I've not been in the mood for Pu Erh lately but I can always drink cinnamon based teas, and as this one was fairly chosen at random I will try this tea next. I don't think I've tried a cinnamon based Pu Erh before so this will be a new experience.
I'm happy to say that this is cinnamon bark and not the ground spice, the spice is nice but too much in a blend makes it dry and bitty…not good. But with this I can see the Pu Erh and medium to small pieces of bark amongst the leaves, and it smells sooo good. Like cinnamon candy. :)
The strong cinnamon scent matches the flavour, it's wonderfully cinnamon heavy which is both sweet and spicy, also rather thick. I can also taste the Pu Erh a little, I think the earthiness of it works well with the cinnamon. I also think that the Pu Erh base helps to keep it lighter, while it's think it could easily be thicker (for example if it had a black tea base it might be too thick).
I really like this blend, it's rather basic but very tasty and something I would recommend to my fellow cinnamon lovers. I could actually drink quite a bit of this tea, it's yummy. Reminds me of a few Della Terra heavy cinnamon based teas.
Flavors: Cinnamon
Sipdown (119)!
Another tea that I knew would be a sipdown the next time I had it, but wanted to wait until I had found something to refill the tin with before making it. And since last time I made a major grocery shopping trip I grabbed some of Tea Squared's Honey Fig Tree I feel like that time has come.
Being honest; this tea is basically juice. But the best motherfucking juice. It's refreshing and hydrating and the dragonfruit flavour is so clear and well conveyed! Plus, the other fruit flavors are on fleek. Now that I'm living in Regina again I'm hoping that, come summer when this gets restocked, grabbing more will be more of a cakewalk because there never seems to be enough of this tea. It's perfect.
I was wondering why you were replacing this but I see it's just not available now lol. Also, I giggled at "on fleek". You are pretty great :)
I wish it was available now; but Jule only orders it in the summer and it's a really popular/fast selling blend unfortunately so it never sticks around long.
This is a queued tasting note.
I wonder if Jules, at Cuppa T, still has any of this in stock; I'd love to pick more up! Since moving back to Regina I haven't made a trip down to the Cathedral area to shop at Cuppa T even if I'd been meaning to.
I've done a really remarkable job with hoarding the 100g I bought over a year ago but I'm nearly out now and not only is this probably the best cold brew ever but whenever I do end up steeping it up instead of hoarding it's next to impossible to not pick some of the dry leaf out of the tin too. This cold brew thankfully ended up well balanced though: I could taste every ingredient/element of the tea except for the Sea Buckthorn and Pineapple which is a success because I was a little worried I'd eaten too much of the actual dragonfruit pieces…
Since dragonfruit appears to be 'officially' out of season again and no longer in grocery stores I'm gonna have to rely on this tisane for my dragonfruit fix.
This made for a SUPER delightful coldbrew today at work!
The flavour of the dragonfruit was sadly very masked, but the strong juicy blueberry, cranberry, chokeberry, and goji notes more than made up for it since they came together to create a very smooth, refreshing sweet medley of berry flavours. Absolutely no sweetener necessary.
Tea Soda!
Made as the 'last tea of the night' last night, and it was pretty much perfect in every way possible. The sugar used to make the simple syrup proved to be exactly what was needed to really bring out the natural flavour of the dragonfruit and make this a sweet, truly 'dragonfruit dominated' drink.
However, the cranberry did cut in a little bit to provide a touch of sharpness, but it was nice because it made the tea/soda feel a little more fleshed out and well rounded. Not that soda really needs to have a whole bunch of "layers" to it, though – I mean most soda is just a monotone or duotone flavour anyway.
I also felt like I tasted a bit of guava and fig, but more in the background. Really, really good regardless though! I definitely want to try it again but may not; this is a heavy blend so 100g doesn't really stretch that far…
Cold Brew!
This one was a sort of surprise find in December when I was in Regina, and stopped at Cuppa'T to pick some stuff up. I hadn't expected to see this available for purchase since it's one of Cuppa'T's summer blends and last year when I was hunting for it back in January and March I was told it'd be unavailable until the summer – and then I wasn't back in the summer to look for it!
I've had this one once previously, but I adored it. Seeing it again and fearing I wouldn't see it again anytime soon after I purchased 100g of it hoping that my tastes hadn't drastically changed in the year since having it, and that I'd still love it.
- As amazing as I remember it being!
- Strong notes of dragonfruit, sweet cranberry, and passion fruit(?)
- Not sure about the passion fruit since it's not in the blend; that's what I got though
- Lesser notes of kiwi/pineapple/blueberry
- It's just so juicy and flavourful with an ALMOST "punch" like quality
- Uber refreshing! Not too juice like or sickly/sticky sweet
The fact this tasted as perfect as I've built it up to be in my head was such a big relief!
EDIT: I should note, that because of this tea I've started eating actual dragonfruit!
Even though, for a fruit, it's pretty expensive I've been aiming to eat at least one (but usually more) a week! It's delightful in fruit salad or cut into fine cubes with just a small splash of white rum mixed with it. The fruit itself isn't super flavourful and there's a high water content, but what you can taste is phenomenal.
It doesn't dethrone Pineapple as my favourite fruit – but it's up there! Top 3 favourite fruits for sure!
For the record, since you have easy access, the closest I've ever seen another tea come to this one is the Dragonberry blend from Cornelia Bean!
Actually, I just looked up the two and they have identical ingredients – though I've had both, and I think the Cuppa'T blend has more dragonfruit in it than the CB one?
Sipdown (202/205)!
Thank you very much Lala for the sample of this! I was really disappointed when it wasn't in stock during my trip to Cuppa'T, so it was amazing to receive a sample and get the opportunity to try it out despite that, since it was one of the few teas I was looking for ahead of time when I went.
I made this up at a cold brew in my mason jar, and that used up the whole sample. To be perfectly honest, I was a little worried it's be underleafed for the full 25 oz. but when I strained it this morning after a full 12 hour steep, it looked and smelled pretty well steeped up.
Taste wise, this is amazing! It's very flavourful without being too strong – in fact it kind of reminds me of the pink dragonfruit vitamin water that I used to sometimes get when I worked at the movie theatre. That was my favourite one that we sold, but it was also really expensive and honestly probably more sugar than vitamins. But anyway, what I'm getting at is that this is definitely very strongly dragonfruit flavoured which is great because I was worried that the cranberry would be too strong. I actually don't know whether or not I'd realize there's cranberry in this if it wasn't in the name and I hadn't seen the large cranberry pieces before making this up.
For anyone who hasn't had dragonfruit before, you really really should! It's like a kiwi in texture, but the taste kinda citrusy and kind like melon. It's just a really characteristic flavour overall once you've tried a few dragonfruit flavoured things. They're also good chocolate dipped or with a little lemon juice on them.
Ultimately, this is delicious and I'm very, very sad to see it go. I'm hoping I'll be up in Regina sometime this summer and I'll be able to pick some of this up. I'd easily and without hesitation buy 100g of it, perhaps more because I know it's a fruit blend so it'll be heavy.
Amazing! And again, a thousand thanks Lala
This is another tea I took from the GCTTB.
I'm having a good time with this one tonight. I'm getting apple, I'm getting strudel (?) or sweet pastry something. I didn't taste any pistachio, that's disappoints me. I LOVE pistachio.
Steeped this using the MissB trick – I love how that works out.
All in all I liked this one. Nice to have an apple tea that isn't ooooozing cinnamon.
After the success of Apple Strudel Pistachio, I decided to try the second Cuppa'T Specialty Tea Roswell Strange sent to me in our most recent swap. This smells great and when my sip began, there was a nice pumpkin spice flavor but then it hit me…hibiscus. Ugh. My nemesis! I do not like being lied to and hibiscus is the biggest liar of them all – hiding in all the teas and then jumping out to surprise you with its tartness. Thank you Roswell Strange for sharing but this is just not for me. I probably should have read the ingredients more closely before asking to try it out.
Shana tova to those celebrating the Jewish new year tonight :). I am having this tea again (1) because it was great yesterday, (2) because it's caffeine free and hydrating and (3) because it's the holidayof apples and honey and this is a tasty apple tea. Nothing new to say about it that hasn't already been said though.
Since the teas haven't tasted 100% in light of the cold, I am using this time to drink up some older and less enjoyed teas. In the case of this tea, it's actually helping it be more enjoyable since the base, which has been stronger in recent cups, is completely toned down leaving room for the warm nutty Apple flavors to shine. There's also a slight hint of raisin but that is complimenting the rest of the cup. All in all this is a pretty lovely way to keep hydrated on a rainy Saturday.

Official Diadora Aston Villa home football shirt from the 2001/2002 season.
Condition of this vintage football shirt is 9/10 – Superb.
Material is bright, vivid and smooth. Fantastic looking shirt, ideal for a collection of your own.
Aston Villa's early season form was good and the Midlanders even went top briefly at the end of November, but followed that with a run of eleven games with only one win, falling out of the title race. Still, it came as a shock when John Gregory announced his resignation after four years as Villa manager on 24 January.
A host of names were linked with the vacancy, but in the end it was Graham Taylor, who took Villa to promotion in 1988 and second place in the league in 1990, who was appointed manager. Taylor was unable to improve Villa's form, but two wins against Southampton and Chelsea at the end of the season where enough to see Villa finish eighth: this was hardly amazing, but it at least meant that Villa would be finishing in the top 10 for the seventh year in succession.

Conference: Understanding and Challenging White Culture for the Benefit of the Adoptive Family (KAAN Conference; Atlanta, Georgia; July 29 – 31, 2011)
A panel of three individuals who have been moving forward on their journeys to understand issues around white culture and white privilege will share their perspectives and engage the audience in a thoughtful, respectful discussion of white culture and white privilege.
One presenter (Jen Helzinger) is a white mother whose children are from South Korea, China, and the United States, and who has been working to bridge communities for years.
Another is a mother (Terra Trevor) who has raised children born both in South Korea and in the United States, and whose blended heritage (white and Native American) has given her unique perspectives on race and white privilege.
And the third presenter (Mark Hagland) is a father and an adult adoptee who came to the U.S. in the first wave of trans-racial, international adoptees, and whose life experience has been shaped by growing up with white parents in the dominant white culture, but with an Asian face. All three have had extraordinary experiences that will help nurture a rich and multi-layered audience discussion.
This session is intended to give safe space for participants to consider how whites are taught to be white as well as root out those pieces of white culture that no longer fit in their families.
More information on KAAN and the KAAN 2011 Conference is here.

The executor informed me that I was named as beneficiary of my late grandma's bank account but the greedy executor refused to tell me which bank it is. I do not know what to do next. I only had a copy of the will but there's no name of a bank in there.
Whoa friend. Why assume executor is dishonest?
All comments on this site are 'in the cloud' and do not form an attorney-client relationship of any kind. Just consider them ideas for discussion. JAsk a similar question
Because she wanted me to sign a POA for her so that she can withdraw the money from an account which i was named as a beneficiary but when i asked her which and where is that bank she wont tell me any information.
If he is informing you of your rights why would he then be greedy. He is being open and honest here as far as your facts indicate. As to the will they usually do not mention a specific bank account. It also looks like you were named a beneficiary of the bank account perhaps a payable on death designation. If so it would not be controlled by will. Get an estates attorney if this does not pan out the way it should and/or to discuss this situaton in more detail.
Hope this helps.

You have to find out which bank it is. The personal representative should tell you. Has an estate been filed? Whynot? You can get to a probate attorney in your area and find out what your options are.

Probate has been filed and discharged already last month and its under formal administration. A land property has already been transferred to me thru a irrevocable living trust. But the executor wont tell me the name of the bank. She just told me that i was a beneficiary and she wanted me to sign a POA for her and i refused to do so. I dont know any other ways to know which bank is that. The executor currently lives in my late grandma's house.
Go to the clerk and request to see the court file. It should be listed in there. Get a probate attorney, request a copy of the inventory.
What if it was a POD account is it still be included in the inventory eventhough POD accounts are non probate assets?
