Popular Teas from Typhoo
See All 3 TeasRecent Tasting Notes
This is also a good everyday tea. Very smooth and even. Like it a lot.
A little too malty for my tastes. Better than many teas in the same price range, but this is very much an acquired taste.
It's tiny crumbs of tea. The smallest ones fall through my filter. As you'd expect, the water darkens really fast, and the taste isn't great. It might be OK in bags for everyday use but it's too frustrating in this form.
When I ran out of PG Tips (which I often drink for my morning tea when I am not interested in subtlety, but just need to wake up), I saw a small box of this at the tea shop and decided to give it a try to compare. I'm gonna stick with PG Tips. This is decent, basic black tea in the same sort of style, but it doesn't have as much flavor to me. I'm just more fond of the PG Tips.
I'm slathering for my favorite store to restock PG tips looseleaf (they sold by the ounce); they have this; it may have to be my fallback.
improbably this tea appeared in our local Canadian grocery store a few months ago & i've been hankering to try it. it's a serviceable tea, a tea drinker's tea. tastes similar to Red Rose, an old family favourite. it is tea I believe my Yorkshire parents would find acceptable. at 4 minutes steeped, with the addition of one sugar cube & a dollop of milk, it is just the right strength. this is the tea you serve to a person who has had an emotional upset. it will soothe them.
First steeping was ok, meaning medium strong flavor. Aroma not that strong, perhaps because the tea leaves were like coffee grounds. I will drink it if I have nothing else. Onward with my tea seach!
I bought this tea at a local English pub with a small shoppe in it selling British goods. A box of this tea, some Quavers, and a Mars bar, and I'm walking out a happy girl after finishing my curry chicken. I actually ordered PG Tips to drink while there as my husband downed a London Porter with his meat pie. When I got the tea I noticed the round tea bag and thought it was weird since the PG Tips I have in my cupboard comes in pyramid shaped bags but when I sipped it nothing seemed amiss. When I got home and opened my newly purchased box of Typhoo to try for the first time, I recognized that this is what they served me instead of PG Tips. They both taste very similar and are both similarly strong when steeped for even the shortest amount of time. I pour the water from my kettle directly on to the bag (a process I do with all my tea bags and infusers because I believe it makes it steep faster in my impatient mind) and smush it around with my tea bag tongs for about 10 seconds then throw it away. It packs a punch even with such a minimal steep time. With teas other than PG Tips, Yorkshire, and now Typhoo I usually prefer to leave the tea bag or infuser in the entire time I'm drinking it because I like it strong, but those 3 kick my taste buds butt. Recommend if you like PG Tips and Yorkshire.
Every morning for as long as I can remember, my father's breakfast has consisted of a pot of black tea and a slice of toast. My mother would put a bag of Typhoo into the pot first thing after stumbling out of bed. Then, after putting the kettle on, her sleep-addled brain would decide she'd forgotten to put a teabag in the pot and she'd go add a second one; then, after packing his lunch, she'd end up adding another one, and a fourth right before pouring the boiling water into the pot. Needless to say, I grew up drinking this brewed very strong. (These days, my father makes his own tea and packs his own lunch, and my mother sleeps in. Quite right, too.)
When I was in high school and stumbling toward my 6:00AM choir practice, I'd pour this into a travel mug and absent-mindedly dump about half the sugar bowl in with it. These days, I try to be better about limiting my sugar to a more reasonable half-spoonful, but whenever I've had an absolutely terrible week, I brew up an extra strong pot of Typhoo and go mad with the sugar. Maybe it doesn't reflect the most refined palette, but it tastes like home.
This one is good. It has a pleasant, hay-like smell in the pouch, and brews up nice and stout. It's somewhat powdery, so unless your mesh is extra fine, it will leave some little bits of tea in your cup, if it matters to you.
Paul McCartney mentions that he and John Lennon would try to smoke this in his dads pipe. Hmm? I like the loose leaf Typhoo good with milk or without, very powdery and dark, but compared to cheap American tea it is way more flavorful. It tastes like black tea should. The Typhoo tea bags I have found to be way less consistent in quality.
A typical English breakfast blend, similar to PG Tips. It is a finely ground tea, fannings rather than leaf. The first taste is a brisk Ceylon, followed by the maltiness of the Assam. But the tea is rather harsh and somewhat bitter aftertaste, even with honey and two packets of splenda, as well as half and half, to tame it. Oh well, at least it is not bland and tasteless like Lipton or Tetley. When I visited friends in England fifteen years ago, I thought this tea tasted great, so much better than American tea.
Vile and flavorless. Easy to oversweeten.
I think a few of these higher scores must be blinded by their loyalty! The gardens that are used in this blend really arent of the best quality, and for me this clearly shows in the taste. Back to a good old cup of Punjana for me. yet to be beaten.
When I bought this tea, I wondered why the box was labeled "Leaf Tea" rather than "Loose Leaf Tea". I soon found out when I opened the foil bag inside keeping the "leaves" fresh.
Leaf Quality:
I opened the bag, and what I found was unexpected. The tea was very finely cut/ground, more so than CTC. Some pieces were larger than others, but the tea could be compared to grains of salt. Some pieces were very dark while others were a lighter brown. They smelled better than it looked; almost like a crisp orange pekoe or English breakfast. However, this tea would have gone better in bags, as it is pretty difficult to filter tea so finely ground.
Brewed Tea:
The tea dust produced a dark brown cuppa, with a slight reddish hue. It smelled malty, and a bit chocolaty. There wasn't much character in the tea. Perhaps there was some Assam in this. It was crisp, just as it smelled, and I had brewed it a bit strong (I have a feeling this tea can withhold longer steepings).
I decided to add a lemon slice, and a tiny squeeze of lemon juice. This lightened the color a bit, and made the tea more pleasant. As I mentioned before, this tea lacks the character that other teas possess. There wasn't anything in particular that stood out to me. However, I'm sure this will make a nice iced tea.
This is not my favorite tea, but it was nice to drink something to soothe to my sore throat and my terrible cough.
I got this at the Middle Eastern market where I go to buy all my cheap teas. I just got it a month ago and the expiration label already says Feb 2012 so that was clearly my mistake.
It is strange that the leaves in this loose leaf pack are ground up so fine, it's like they just used the same tea that they would use for teabags. Is it necessary to be THAT cheap?
Anyway I digress. I steeped this for 4 minutes with boiling water and it is generically average, mundane is definitely the word that comes to mind (see my rating scale on the right). I wouldn't choose to bring this with me on a desert island but if it was there I would most likely drink it. :)
I think it might be a Ceylon, there is a bit of briskness in the cup, a slight bitterness. I did run off to get some soymilk to throw in this, but oddly enough I liked it better plain. I don't know if this is my tastebuds adapting or what.
I've been thinking about doing an art project with tea and this would be a likely culprit. Though I reckon the tannins in tea would eat away at paper and such over the years.
Different things, I've done a lot of watercolor paintings in the past and collage stuff. I really need to get my act together and post them on the internets somewhere!
This happens at the market where I shop as well. Buyer beware because they take nothing off the shelf. That's why I will never buy loose leaf out of the bins.
That would be great! I was actually looking at art.com at tea prints {surprise, surprise}. I also like Monet and Salvador Dali:
This is the standard British black tea I drink multiple times per day w milk & half teaspoon sugar
Hearty without being earthy. Rather, smooth and rich. Good for daily caffeine intake. Lacking for subtlety.
Typhoo wasn't allowed in our home when I was growing up. My father wouldn't allow it. Not because he thought it was a bad tea (although it is), it was due to the fact that he hated the tele ads. He used to say that he'd lose an IQ point for every Typhoo advertisement he heard or saw. I have to agree with him. Since it was banned at home, I considered it forbidden fruit so I drank it at friends' homes and any other such times that it was available to me. I never liked it, but it was forbidden to me and therefore was to be imbibed as often as possible. Call it rebellous youth. :)
Love this tea without milk or sugar. I take it when I wanted something simple, clean, just a good cup of straight forward tea.
Since I thought Typhoo was a little weak at 2 1/2 minutes, we decided to try it at 4 minutes. It is definitely stronger, but I can't say I like it any better! I wouldn't even want it without milk and sugar, and even with milk and sugar I would rather have a glass of water! I was glad for the opportunity to try it, though!
I am drinking this tea courtesy of a lovely couple we just met in a stained glass shop. They live in Ireland (he is Irish, she is British) and vacation here every year, and bring their tea with them! They shared several sachets of Typhoo when I mentioned that I like tea.
I only steeped this for a couple of minutes due to my experience with Clipper Gold, which needs merely to be shown the hot water and then whisked away. I think it is a little on the weak side, so next time I will steep longer. It is not a tea full of nuance, but rather a very standard tea – not nearly as strong as the English breakfast teas I have had. Still, it is good to taste a new tea on the trip, and the best part was meeting sweet new people!
A treat—-was able to pick up an experimental ounce bulk at my getting-better-all-the-time favorite little health food store. Looks just like PG tips—ground fine, but used in the same proportions, seems to be just a tetch lighter and brighter in flavor (not in appearance). Would have to do a side-by-side comparison to be sure, and tea geeky as I am, I'd love to do that, but time is going to be a tight commodity this week. (Sigh. Not a great thought for an early Monday morning.)
gmathis, I love you! You made my day by saying "tetch". I haven't heard that since my mom passed away. My oldest relatives used tetched, het, yonder, riled up, and such regularly! I know exactly how much is "a mess" of collards. Sigh. The Southern language is truly a child of Shakespeare, having descended nearly unchanged from Elizabethan English.
Yep—a mess of spinach for salad, and it looks like it's clabberin' up to rain outside today. Just holler if you want to compare further Ozark/Southern Missouri vocabulary words… and if you haven't read "Christy," you need to, for the colloquialisms alone!
Souther US English bears some resemblance to Newfoundland English, which remained very much unchanged from the late 1600s to about mid-20th century. Back in university, I sounded out a phonetics-written speech from Shakespeare (Juliet, "What's in a name?")m the phonetics supposedly showing how Elizabethans pronounced the words. Know what I heard? A blend of Newfoundland and souther US accents.
I'm all for learning to read and write in Standard English, but the dialects are often much richer in vocab. Cuppa tay, now.
In the book I'm going on and on about (set in Cutter Gap, Tennessee, circa 1912), one of the discoveries of the main character is the wealth of Scots-Irish heritage that's been buried under years of neglect, including the ballads that hearken back to Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Since I was a musician and performer from age 7, many people thought I was British when I was growing up! I spoke like the people I listened to all the time – namely Rex Harrison and Christopher Plummer – my heroes! But I can do terrific impressions of several Southern accents and lapse into one when I speak to a real Southerner. The Southern Belle is the most fun. My elder sister actually speaks that way! She used to lean toward me when my parents best friends visited and whisper, "They don't know better, they're Yankees."
Someone asked me once if we pronounced "aunt" as "awnt" or "ant." The answer was….neither! If you are saying, "This is my aunt," you pronounced it "ant." But if you were calling your aunt by name, it was "aint!" I had an Aint Ethel, and Aint Inez, and Aint Neal….they would have died laughing if we had said "awnt" and would have accused us of putting on airs!

The Sony 7" Digital Frame DPF- D 710 Review
The Sony 7" photo frame is a basic digital frame offering good pictures and photo pleasures. It has a comfortable navigation with a convenient remote control and has great internal memory. The orientation features could be as usual landscape or portrait. It comes along with a timer shut off, as well as an automatic battery shut off. There is no rechargeable battery so the frame cannot be immobile. The display is not as good as the other picture frames but the overall effect is quite crisp with the colours coming out vibrantly.
It also has an automatic orientation sensor, which adjusts the pictures according to the orientation of the frame. This unique feature is embedded inside the frame and makes it more versatile. The internal storage is around 128 MB with around 80 MB for photo storage. More than 200 photos can be stored in this photo frame.

Thanks Chips! Overwhelmed. Such a great clip. I am confident that one result of the sequester will be that people will realize how much we rely on government agencies to make our lives better, safer, more secure. I also wonder if red states will be disproportionately affected since they are mostly taker states ( most blue states are donor states).

Bobfr (@Our4thEstate) March 03, 2013We must do everything we can to ensure all our fellow citizens realize that al Qaeda are minor league compared to Boehner's Teahadists.
And, we must encourage Speaker Pelosi, every day, to use the discharge petition mechanism, to both put Rs on the spot and convince at least 18 of them to sign them and force bills to the House floor for a vote – something Boehner and Cantor can't stop.
March 2, 2013 at 9:01 pm
I assure you, df, Speaker Pelosi and Whip Hoyer have their mobile phone #s in rank order of likelihood to move on any particular discharge petition. And, with the VAWA vote this past Thursday, we know that 87 Rs voted for the version that past so it's also likely they have way more than 18 Rs ready to participate in a #CommonSenseCaucus
What we all need to be doing is demonstrating to House and Senate Dem leaders that we know it's not fantasy, but reality that House Rs (and probably a few Senate Rs) are increasingly aware that their job security and any hope of a viable GOP will depend on their capacity to start demonstrating to their constituents that they aren't domestic terrorists.

March 2, 2013 at 9:06 pm
I know they know…just wish we could help push those particular people along…..a little frustrating. Maybe that could be a good question for one of the online meetings with OFA….this idea of a Discharge Petition and pressing them to push this along, doing an end run around the lunatics….what do you think?
March 2, 2013 at 9:24 pm
Yes, df, it would be good if we could know whom to bolster. I have suggested that Speaker Pelosi request the President to have OFA support exactly this type of endeavor.
The obviously sensitive part is disclosing those Rs most ready to defect from Cantor/Boehner.
But, the more folk inform the White House, OFA, Dem leaders that we are aware of the mechanisms to move legislation out of the House, and we are aware that when McConnell filibustered this past week he violated whatever trust Senators Reid & Levin extended to him, the better. OFA can be a major force, for sure.
And, some of those Rs might want to examine carefully (which they likely do) the demographics, even with gerrymandering, of their CD and calculate how much more likely that might be to win in 2014 if they at least join the #CommonSenseCaucus and perhaps even just flip to D.

March 2, 2013 at 11:17 pm
Keep fighting, Bob! One of the people on both lists- – those supporting Sandy relief and VAWA — is from your state: Rep. Dave Reichert, from WA's 8th district. You guys in WA can work on him and other Republicans in Congress. There are also Congressmen from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio that can be convinced to come on board. If they refuse Democrats can target their districts for vigorous challenges in 2014. I didn't see any Republicans from CA, but I am going to look at CA Voting data to see if there are Republican Reps. who may be in districts that are vulnerable, which is highly unlikely. May be people here in CA can find a way of putting pressure on them to urge them to step away from Teabag insanity that is destroying the country. We really must identify 18-20 Republican members of the House that we may be able to focus our time and energy on. We also need to identify and target 5 Republican Senators to dissuade them from participating in filibusters.

"We really must identify 18-20 Republican members of the House that we may be able to focus our time and energy on. We also need to identify and target 5 Republican Senators to dissuade them from participating in filibusters."
Exactly, nath.
Certainly intend to try to bring OFA pressure on Reichert and any other R whom we have a reasonable opportunity to convince that being a domestic terrorist in the service of plutocrats like the Koch Brothers is for them to reject even if it means finding employment elsewhere than Congress.

March 2, 2013 at 9:36 pm
From other threads and comments – it seems the most likely place to start are with GOP reps who won in districts that voted for the President – and/or any GOP males who voted for the VAWA (Senate version) – if they are on both lists – even more likely.
March 2, 2013 at 11:25 pm
Great points, 99ts! But there are also districts that barely voted for Romney and the current GOP Reps. that we must target. This is no time to be disillusioned!

Absolutely, Bob! I really appreciate your tweets/posts that have been urging Democrats, and especially those in elective office and in positions of leadership, to keep fighting.
March 2, 2013 at 9:06 pm
I think the final act will come in the combination of the CR and Debt ceiling Bob4r, I think the expiration of sequestration is a necessary evil under current GOP obstinance. At that point PBO will have maximal leverage to get additional revenue to supplement the defense cuts, currently set to go into effect. The D.C. press w/ AD/HD forget the major reason PBO rejected adopting Simpson/Bowles was the substantial cuts in defense. Too much in the CIC's mind, even though there recommended 2.2 Trillion in revenue.
March 2, 2013 at 9:34 pm
Perhaps. But, I think he already has plenty of leverage and the consequences, as in war, of the chaos of sequester are going to compound daily. Sequester must be halted & a basic agreement not to inflict intentional harm on the American economy must be agreed immediately.
What Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, Ryan, et al are now doing, if done by any foreign entity – government or asymmetric organization – would constitute an act of war. That is not hyperbole. They must be dealt with accordingly and only We the People can demonstrated to the President and Dem leaders that we comprehend just how dangerous these domestic terrorists are.
March 2, 2013 at 10:06 pm
Your sentiments are apropos to the makeup of the current opposition. The sad fact is its not the German's, Japanese, or Russian's that constitute its makeup, it is the Republican party. There must be absolutely no lethargy constituted in the run-up to and up until the day of the mid-terms. To change the makeup of the 113th Congress, must be a singular priority for the masses, who want to " take our country back."
March 2, 2013 at 11:41 pm
Bob, I agree with you 100%! This is the time for "We the People" to fight back to save our country! It's plainly clear that Republicans are punishing the entire country because the majority of us voted for President Obama. Lets say it loud: REPUBLICANS ARE PUNISHING THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF U.S, CITIZENS VOTED FOR A BLACK MAN TWICE! All the other excuses they use about what they are doing to the country are pure hogwash! By the way, the same is true of all the unethical reporting from the so called mainstream media.

March 2, 2013 at 9:02 pm
I'm here VC!!! Just (yet) another completely unproductive day.
Getting my, oooooh, 25th call from an elderly farmer who has confused my number for a vet's.
He left a message, asked me to come quickly, problems with a calf.
So, I called him back and said: "I AM NOT A VET – YOU'VE CONFUSED MY NUMBER WITH HIS AGAIN."
And he says, "is he working today?"
I almost cried.
I just know he's going to call again tomorrow.
March 2, 2013 at 9:09 pm
Speaking of animals (VET's) got an update on the despot? A sighting, anything…..
March 2, 2013 at 9:24 pm
The despot has disappeared LP (hopefully permanently) …… but still no sign of my cat. She always responded to a very weird whistle of mine, so I walked around today whistling, getting very strange looks. No response. And no response to fliers I've posted around the place with her photo. Feeling a little heartbroken, beginning to accept she won't be coming back.

You are not to take this personally Chipsticks, but it could be your little kitty has found a place where she feels comfortable and safe, maybe even the shelter has a sun deck? I'm sure she is okay, and really, with cats, you never know, she might be coming in at night only, when you can't tell if she is there or not. Just a few random thoughts that came up while reading. You have done a wonderful deed taking care of her this long. Never take it personally with a cat.

So very sorry to hear this, Ms Chips…. but it is almost Spring, maybe she will come home soon. I hope so.
March 2, 2013 at 9:11 pm
Sorry, CC, I know it's not funny on the one hand, but I couldn't help but laugh. Maybe you should look up the vet's number and have it ready in case the farmer does call back, OR call the vet and tell HIM to set his farmer straight. [I'm still chuckling.]
March 2, 2013 at 9:21 pm
You know VC, I examined my conscience today – and felt half bad.
If the fella was looking for a doctor for a human, I probably wouldn't have bothered calling back.
Have I mentioned before I prefer animals to humans?
March 2, 2013 at 9:38 pm
Oh Chips as a retired Veterinary Technician this makes me wonder if that poor calf is getting any help. If the farmer is elderly, maybe he doesn't hear well. If there is a Veterinary Medical Association or Agricultural Extension Service in the phone book, maybe they can call the farmer back and recommend a vet who treats farm animals.

I should not laugh about this but my Hubby's old cell phone # was one digit off from our county jail. He got phone calls day & night from family members, bail bondsmen & even deputies wanting to know if their "perps" had been processed. Needless to say, we got the # changed.
March 2, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Eeeeegads, I know how you must feel. A very popular restaurant once placed an ad with my phone number in it by mistake. My phone rang non-stop for 24 hours with people wanting reservations. It was insane. When I finally got through to the restaurant to tell them they made a mistake and were going to have hordes of angry diners, they apologized profusely and comped me a big meal with wine, so it sort of made up for the mess. The night we went Jacques Pepin was at the next table!

"The budget deficit is a result of the crisis, not the cause of it."

Paul Krugman must be one of the few who has given out the real story time and time again – the morning Joes of this world will regret their laughter – much sooner than later.
March 3, 2013 at 12:17 am
You know, DF, this whole GOP charade has never been about deficits or long term debt. This is all about making it difficult for President Obama to govern. I am sorry, but I think Republicans — and especially the teabag wing –are so evil that they've decided to destroy the country because the majority of us Americans had the audacity to elect and then re-elect President Obama. I repeat: I am absolutely convinced that the game Republicans are playing has absolutely nothing to do with deficits! George W. Bush inherited a budget surplus and in just four years he turned the surplus into a deficit. And after 8 years in office, Bush left his successor a massive deficit, a devastating financial crisis, rising unemployment and an economy headed into a major depression. By the way Reagan also left the country with a massive deficit that forced Bush, Sr. to break his pledge of "Read My Lips, No More Taxes." Yet we never heard a peep from Republicans about deficits. If McCain had won in 2008, or Romney had won in 2012, there would have been no sequester. The deficit would have been the same as it is now; may be even more because we probably would still have troops in Iraq. I respect Paul Krugman and he is trying to make economic sense. But I wish he would zero in on the racial politics behind the Republican deficit nonsense. What the Republicans are doing to this country has absolutely nothing to do with rational economics.

kron4 news (san francisco) tonite announced when president obama signed the sequester into existence… then they actually discussed what was going on – and … to my shock and amazement, after some decent explanation, the anchor stated that neither the president or congress was going to change this until the people started to react.
THEN… (are you ready) the anchor stated this was an attempt by the republicans to get rid of all the programs of the new deal that they had hated – the safety net, social services, etc.!

HEADLINE: In Filing, Casino Operator Admits Likely Violation of an Antibribery Law
// LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the casino company controlled by the billionaire Sheldon G. Adelson, says in a regulatory filing that it probably violated a federal law that prohibits bribing foreign officials.
RelatedThe casino company said in a filing Friday that the Securities and Exchange Commission asked two years ago for records relating to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Las Vegas Sands said that after it got the S.E.C. subpoena on Feb. 9, 2011, the audit committee of the board of directors opened an investigation. In its annual report, filed Friday, the company said its audit committee had "reached certain preliminary findings, including that there were likely violations of the books and records and internal controls provisions" of the antibribery law. //

Budget cuts force Yellowstone to delay opening
The costly and complex road-clearing operation that was scheduled to start on Monday will be postponed this year because of the U.S. government's across-the-board budget cuts known as the "sequester," which took effect on Friday.
Local tourism industry leaders are not happy with the decision. A delay in the park's traditional early May opening and other service reductions could mean millions of dollars in lost tourism and tax revenues for small, rural towns in Montana and Wyoming."I think it's counterproductive, and I expect a lot of people to be raising hell," said Mike Darby, whose family owns the Irma Hotel in downtown Cody, Wyoming, at the east gate of Yellowstone.
"It's alarming that this very avoidable threat could become a reality. From Yellowstone to Cape Cod, the Grand Canyon and Great Smoky Mountains, our national heritage and local economies are at risk," NPCA President Tom Kiernan said in a statement on Thursday.————————————————

It's funny how the pundits and WHPC are saying that this sequester won't be felt that much. Saw Ali Velcher alluding to this meme this morning. They are not looking at the big picture and the domino effect like PBO talked about yesterday. They even had the nerve to fact check what PBO said abut the janitors at the capitol getting a pay cut. They rated this false. The janitors may not realize that down the pike they may be getting a pay cut. This sequester will be like a slow death day by day when it starts kicking in.
March 2, 2013 at 11:01 pm
Yellowstone… Wyoming… home of Dick Cheney – the guy who said "deficits don't matter". All those who have supported the right wing through their attacks on President Obama's attempts to recover the economy will now have to face the consequences. It's only unfortunate that the damage can't be isolated to those who have caused it.

I find it 'interesting' that the President is under such close scrutiny that one needs an entire article (in a foreign language) to explain his use of a simple phrase. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the close scrutiny had to do with the real CONTENT of his presidency, as that would mean an actual discussion of what he is actually saying. On the other hand, I really like this guy's conclusion
"Far from being a mistake, mixed metaphor, or slip-of-the-tongue, Obama's extemporaneous invocation of "Jedi Meld" was precisely on point, simultaneously displaying his nuanced and considerable command of the finer details of both actor-network theory and the Star Wars: Expanded Universe. Instead of mocking him from the comfort of our replica X-wing armchairs, as nerds and citizens we should be honored and awed by a commander-in-chief who offhandedly deploys such concepts in the public discourse."
March 2, 2013 at 11:31 pm
Yes – I thought the same, VC. The article would be entertaining, were we not in the midst of a meltdown of government because of the GOP dereliction of duty. The President must have thought he was in the Twilight Zone when he realized the "mind meld" nonsense was trending on twitter, as though people's lives weren't about to be torn asunder. When I listened to his response at the press conference about whether or not his Administration was overstating the consequences of the sequester, my heart broke. He sees the people who will be affected, and he feels for them – deeply.

And there you have nailed the very real reason for the strong negative feelings I have towards Netanyahu. I felt uneasy about him before, but the disrespect he showed while a guest in PBO's house touched a cord of near hatred for me.

Club for Growth says spending bills must defund health law
By Elise Viebeck
The conservative Club for Growth is pushing lawmakers to oppose upcoming spending bills that do not defund President Obama's healthcare law.On Friday, the group threatened to score against the vote for the next continuing resolution (CR) unless the bill makes dramatic cuts to the law's implementation.
Club for Growth circulated a "Dear Colleague" letter from Reps. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) and Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) urging House GOP leadership to help "restore patient-centered healthcare in America."

They had their fake Obama talking about the sequester saying he knew nothing about money or how the economy works—–hahahaha—-so funny!—-not. Then he said the WH was going to do their part by having the First Lady only make 4 appearances per week instead of her usual 75. Hilarious!—not. Then they made fun of the kind of jobs that would be affected and mocked the people who serve in those roles. It was the most pathetic thing, no one laughed——weak and ugly.
For sequester, SNL has given up 50 percent of its laughs, which leaves it with two laughs per show.—

The only time I consistently tuned into the SNL was during the Tina Fey impersonation of the half term governor. I don't find the humor funny. And it sounds like I'm not missing much.

Thanks for the heads up about SNL. Some things should not be mocked by SNL or John Stewart.

Well I rarely watch SNL, because it is not as good as it use to be. And the black guy impersonating POTUS is not good.And the crap you said they were talking weren't funny to me.

Not sure if this has been posted, but it's good coverage of the Selma-to-Montgomery March Commemoration, and the story of Rep. John Lewis and the current-day Montgomery Police Chief, who "apologized for lack of action by police during the 1961 attack on the Freedom Riders," and who gave Congressman Lewis the badge off his uniform. The police chief seemed emotional, right along with the heroic Congressman, and said this was in line with the values of Dr. King, and that "It's a new day." I feel so … well, happy … although that word doesn't cover it, because I, too, am so gratified for John Lewis and the others, I could cry my eyes out.

surprised by lies from rethug candidate?
' Massachusetts State Rep. Dan Winslow (R), one of three candidates for his party's nomination in the upcoming special election to fill Secretary of State John Kerry's Senate seat, won a GOP straw poll Saturday. He then ended the event on a hypocritical note: After giving his speech to the party faithfuls, Winslow tried to disassociate himself from the event's location, the Danversport Yacht Club. "I am not a tea and crumpets Republican," he said:
"They gave us three minutes to speak today; three minutes is longer than I ever wanted to spend in a yacht club," Winslow said. "I am not a tea and crumpets Republican. I am here because there are activists here. I am running a grassroots campaign."
Winslow's professed enmity toward yacht clubs is apparently newly found: as recently as 2011, the candidate disclosed that he served on the board of directors for the Pamet Harbor Yacht & Tennis Club. Both Danversport and Pamet Harbor could well benefit from HD1965, Winslow's proposed bill to repeal the sales tax on the sale of boats built or rebuilt in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. '

When did you start getting active in your support for President Barack Hussein Obama? He was the first candidate we donated to a politician.

Obama: Now it's all about 2014
Aware that the GOP won't deal, a report says the president's determined to take control of the House in 2014
"The president understands that to get anything done, he needs a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives," Rep. Steve Israel, the New York congressman who chairs the DCCC, told the paper. "To have a legacy in 2016, he will need a House majority in 2014, and that work has to start now.
"If 2012 was a referendum on President Obama, then 2014 will be a referendum on the tea party Congress," Israel said. "And the president and House Democrats are joined at the hip on this."

We also need to nationalize the Senate races. Have to keep the Senate as we take back the House. This is why 2013 is so important–to get people used to the idea of voting all the time. We have to establish the pattern of voting every year, not just every four years.

President Quixote's Legacy: Confused, Ill-Educated and Not Too BrightBy Monty PelerinThe number of Obama supporters seems inversely related to his time in office. Many wonder what happened to "The One We Are Waiting For." Obama assumed office in difficult economic times. After a couple of years of excuses -- which included "the problems were worse than we knew" and the generic, all-purpose "it's Bush's fault" -- Obama now owns the original problems and new ones of his own doing. An incomplete report card on his "accomplishments" would include the following:
There are a plethora of other problems that could be attributed to Obama. In short, it is difficult to ascertain what, if anything, has improved other than the demise of Osama bin Laden. Two hypotheses are often cited to explain why things have gotten so much worse:
These hypotheses are not mutually exclusive. Evidence is consistent with either or a combination of both. The remainder of this article deals only with the first. Readers should not assume that the second is unimportant, inoperable, or impossible. Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote about "seductive beliefs" in a two-part article (second part here). He touched on some of the incorrect beliefs guiding President Obama. In short, Obama is an ideologue, narrowly (and poorly) educated. As a result, he is ignorant in the ways of the world. Economics versus Morality Sowell's analysis provides perspective on Obama's behavior. Obama has virtually no understanding of basic economics. Exploitation ideology is the basis for his world- and economic view. This ideology sees the world as a zero-sum game. In essence a fixed pie is divided. If one person gets more, others necessarily get less. A country becomes successful by taking advantage of other countries. This naive view, based on the long-discredited concept of mercantilism, sees success as exploitation. Freedom, markets, institutions, incentives, and voluntary trade have no place in Obama's world. Success or failure is determined by one variable -- whether you are the exploiter or the exploited. Exploitation theory does not comport with economic theory, history, or reality. As Sowell points out: Obama's ideology blinds him to relevant variables. Incentives, institutional frameworks, profit and loss, individual initiative, saving and investment, hard work, etc. have no role in his simplistic world. He is a political creation with no experience in relevant matters. He does not understand markets, business, meeting a payroll, or managing an organization. This vacuum in knowledge produces failed economic results because policies do not consider the relevant variables for economic success. In Obama's world, success and failure are moral rather than economic outcomes. Success is a marker for evil. Failure is due to someone else's success rather than personal shortcomings. Failure represents passivity, the choice to not exploit others. Proper moral behavior produces failure. For Obama, economics itself is inconsistent with morality. Hence economics itself must be evil. This view of the world is both simple and ignorant. No, it is beyond that. It is a sign of stupidity! Recognition of this stupidity is the key to understanding Obama's behavior and policies. An Interpretation of Some Obama Policies The key to understanding much of Obama's behavior is the notion that economics itself is necessarily evil and must be constrained or even remedied. Successful allies (think Israel and Great Britain among others) are morally inferior to unsuccessful, backward nations who only are so as a result of exploitation. Third-world nations require restitution for the evils imposed by successful nations. That some of these are enemies of the US makes them even more deserving. The US, heretofore the greatest success, therefore represents the greatest evil. Obama's world-apology tours and treatment of allies can be understood in light of such convoluted beliefs. Moral judgments also drive domestic policy. Individual success is simply a microcosm of national success. It too is achieved by exploiting others. That explains Obama's "Joe the Plumber" moment. If the pie is fixed in size, the rich make others poor. That is the fallacy underlying Obama's belief that people are entitled to only so much income or wealth. In his mind, he has a right, probably a moral obligation, to confiscate and redistribute wealth. The rich and successful must be punished at some level of success. Their success causes the poor their pain. Talent, hard work, ingenuity, risk-taking, etc. are not relevant in Obama's third-grade level of economic understanding. As expressed by Tom Sowell, "[w]hether at home or abroad, Obama's ideology is an ideology of envy, resentment and payback." The Bigger Problem Obama is doing what he believes right and just. Sophomoric understanding, however, does not explain why the inequities of the world are assumed to be Obama's responsibility. How does one go from President of the US to a modern-day Don Quixote for the entire world? Some psychologists and psychiatrists have answered this question in terms of Obama's ego and pathological narcissism. The psychological conditions that motivate a person are less clear than the ensuing actions. They also can be much more frightening. To understand a person, it is sometimes necessary to speculate on such motivations. Obama's narcissistic disorder apparently enables him to see himself as the President of The World, the Great Rectifier and the One We Have Been Waiting For. Some supporters speak of Obama in messianic terms, as he himself has arrogantly done. This behavior pattern could be indicative of severe delusion, even megalomania. The original Don Quixote's tilting at windmills was charming and harmless. This knight of old was noble and honorable. He possessed character and integrity. While a bit crazed, his motives were pure. It was difficult not to admire him. None of that holds true for President Quixote. The only thing these two delusional people have in common is a fascination with windmills. The old knight imagined them as dragons to be slain, the modern one as solutions to the world's problems. Which belief is more rational is left to the reader to decide. Obama's faults are neither charming nor harmless. He is in a position of extreme power, capable of doing massive damage. His quixotic behavior squanders this nation's resources and destroys its economy. Obama, like his predecessor of old, intends to solve all the injustices of the world. His Quest is to compensate for the sins of the successful. The downtrodden are his protectorate, just as they were the delusional knight of old. The modern Quixote, however, exploits them for political gain rather than true concern. The successful, fewer in number, are targets unless they can assist him in his goals. Obama's Superior Intellect How dangerous this delusional man might be is moot. What seems no longer at issue is Obama's "superior intelligence." Obama's belief system is dominated by the dismissed exploitation theories of Karl Marx and the 60's-style radicals he grew up around. The Reverend Wright preached to him for twenty years about exploitation in terms of Black Liberation Theology. An unrepentant terrorist, Bill Ayers, was a close friend and arguably author of one of Obama's autobiographies. His personally selected "Czars" are the sorriest collection of Presidential advisors ever, at least in terms of reflecting American values and beliefs. Many went on the same intellectual voyage that Obama did. Most of us outgrew this nonsense, usually by our mid-twenties. Obama never did. He is still a child, intellectually undeveloped and locked into the ideas from the 60's -- both the 1960s and the Marxist 1860s. In that sense he is an intellectual dwarf, frozen in the equivalent of a state of intellectual puberty. His "knowledge" is based on nothing but the discredited ideologies of Socialism. The claim that Obama is the smartest man to ever hold presidential office is absurd and a reflection on the state of our media who insist on propping up this man-child. Obama's obsession with keeping his college records and personal past secret is prima facie evidence that the claim is untrue. His knowledge base and dismal performance on the world stage is even more damning. Instead of having a superior intellect, we likely have the most ignorant, ideological, brainwashed dupe this country has ever elected to high office. The man's intellectual development never progressed beyond the stage of all-night freshman bull sessions where all the world's problems were solved (with help from adequate amounts of beer of course). This intellectual pygmy must be removed from office by whatever possible peaceful means. Impeachment is in order, but will not happen. Thus the 2012 election is critical. The Democratic Party knows what happened in 2010. They also know that they have an albatross at the top of their ticket. It is likely they will turn on this poseur before the election. If so, this act will be their most significant public service in years. Obama will not be reelected, but that may not be enough. A country filled with enough fools to elect this modern-day version of a snake oil salesman, this American Idol wannabe, this empty suit, is clearly dumb enough to replace him in kind. H. L. Mencken had it correct: "Democracy is a form of worship. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses." The Democratic Party is and should be worried about 2012. No Democrat, save the hapless Jimmy Carter, can be happy about their current situation. Carter is the exception because his lock on "worst President ever" is about to be broken by the current occupant. Monty Pelerin blogs at Monty Pelerin's World. |

The fix for the dent and paint repair of the door was excellent. The problem with the shop is customer service from the manager/owner.

Rob the manager was great, explained the repairs to me in lamest terms so I could understand it. My car was done quickly and it looked AMAZING when I picked it up! Clean inside and out, they touched up all my little knicks. I also like the fact that its family run, John the owner (who came and talked and met me personally) and Tracy in front office are related. It's nice to know there are still family run businesses out there! Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Let me say right off the bat that I LOVE this piece. It is rustic and aged in appearance, but still has a delicate quality to it. The size is just right for a long empty space, as it really is 5 feet long. I have it over my tv console in the living room and it gives something visual to the empty wall above without a picture competing with the tv screen. You will want to measure and mark the placement without the hanging tiles, as the metal loops that hang from the rod actually touch the wall and don't hang freely. This can mar your wall as you measure. Just be careful and it will be beautiful.

The purpose of business is to create the well-being of all stakeholders – customers, employees, shareholders, community and mother nature. This is what practical spirituality means – a force that brings all faiths and religions together.
We believe that "work places" have a profound impact on the culture of our times as we spend more time at work as compared to at home. If we look forward to work each day and return home with "Joy and Positive Energy", our communities are nourished and our nations become healthier.
Good, responsible, ethical and inspiring work places always win in the long run even though the world is full of so called corrupt and wealthy business people today!
All people have an innate desire to do good and serve the well being of all. Faulty education and upbringing make people forget this.
The role of education is to know who you are and discover your purpose and connect to the goodness within.
All of us have been blessed with unique gifts to work towards our true purpose. When we work to leverage our gifts towards our purpose, we become inspired leaders. When we enable others to do so, we build inspired leaders and organizations of consequence.
There is a leadership crisis today as most leaders, especially in the business world, do not identify with the purpose of creating well being of all.
Business schools need to urgently focus on this crisis by developing leaders who are aware of this, care enough about it and dare to make a difference. Such leaders have character, competence and enthusiasm.
SOIL Citizenship - Character
Mindfulness: Is being fully present in the now without regrets about the past and anxiety of the future. It is self awareness in which our inner voice is the witness of all that we think, feel or do.
Just be is the focus of our program on yoga, meditation and wellness taught by our Sivananda Yoga teacher Susie Roy. The text we use is called Chup Sadhana or The Practice of Silence.
Compassion: Is not just feeling for those who are in need and in pain but pro-actively doing something to reduce suffering of the less fortunate strata of society.
In SOIL, we practice compassion by each student working one day a week with an NGO that is engaged in this social agenda. This is our Social Innovation Program or SIP. That always helps us with our Self Improvement Program – SIP. SIP through SIP.
Sustainability: Is about using our resources in a way that balances the needs of today with those of tomorrow. It is about producing more than what we consume.
We do this by teaching courses on Climate Change, Theory of Constraints and Total Quality Management. We then encourage students to take up projects to apply this learning to real life situations.
Ethics: Is the difference between our right to do things and the right thing to do to create the well being of all stakeholders. It is transparency, honesty, integrity and the congruence between what we say, feel and do.
We teach ethics by simulating situations through "theatre" and by encouraging students to explore their ethical dilemmas.
We practice ethics in the way we live and work at SOIL.
Diversity: Is recognizing the uniqueness in ourselves and in each person and leveraging the same to help us realize our true potential.
In SOIL, we use the globally recognized Caliper instrument and a comprehensive talent appreciation process to profile each student who applies to SOIL.
This helps in identifying the unique strengths of each student and in preparing a tailor made individual learning plan which is reviewed periodically.
Morning Circle each day – We offer prayers from different faiths, share insights, appreciate each other & keep track of what is happening within & without us."A place for Community"
Celebrations – Spontaneous & planned – For festivals, for birthdays of all students, staff. For important milestones & good work. In each event we appreciate each person & attribute. Celebrating together creates Joy & Happiness.
Annual Retreat in the Himalayas
All students, faculty & Staff travel together by train to Pathankot & spend three days at Tapovan, in Sidhbari ( Dharamshala) at the Ashram of Swami Chinmayananda. We visit villages, learn & practice Appreciative Inquiry & see the amazing integrated community development work of the Chinmaya organisation of rural development – CORD
This retreat helps us to learn from our past & prepare for the future.
Annual Conference on Inspired Leadership
We bring the entire eco-system of SOIL together for 2 days – students, staff, faculty, mentors, NGO partners, Industry Consortium members, recruiters & media. This is conceived, designed, planned & executed by student community to showcase their talent & get real leadership experience of creating awareness about the 5 pillars of SOIL Citizenship.
Annual Convocation & Family day
The students & their families spend their day at SOIL & jointly celebrate their Graduation by reliving the year long journey.
This is the forum to recognise outstanding students & teams for achievements on all stages - Academic, Social Innovation, Character etc.
Campus Building
A lot of natural light through large glass work instead of bricks, greenery, earthy & pastel shades – represents the five elements.
Harmony with nature is a crucial feature of design.
Our logo
Dark green for the nourishing environment, light green for the germination of ideas, orange for the spark of igniting the Genie-Us (The genie within us). SOIL is a nursery for human growth that lights the spark of self discovery in a nourishing environment.
Aesthetics & Artwork
We have artwork & well designed visual appeal in space so that the space has a calming & refreshing impact on all of us.
Spaces impact our being.
Classrooms with round tables
Our classrooms enable team work & enable teachers to behave like facilitators rather than talk at students from elevated spaces & podiums. Architecture builds community.
