Dallas, Texas, November 03, 2011
AT&T* has been named to the 2011 list of North American Top Companies for Leaders. The Top Companies for Leaders is the most comprehensive study of organizational leadership in the world, and is conducted by Aon Hewitt, the global resource consulting and outsourcing business of Aon Corporation (NYSE: AON), in partnership with The RBL Group, a strategic HR and leadership systems advisory firm, and FORTUNE.
An expert panel of independent judges selected and ranked winners based on criteria including strength of leadership practices and culture, examples of leader development on a global scale, impact of leadership in communities in which they operate, business performance, and company reputation.
"In every part of our business, we have thousands of outstanding leaders who are helping to transform the way our customers connect with their world," said AT&T Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Randall Stephenson. "This award recognizes the high level of leadership they display, and I am very proud of every one of them."
When comparing the Top Companies with more than 470 other companies worldwide, Aon Hewitt identified a common characteristic that sets them apart from their peers – Top Companies are committed to building leadership capability within their organizations.
"Aon Hewitt would like to congratulate AT&T as being named one of the North American Top Companies for Leaders," said Pete Sanborn, global leader of the Talent and Organization Practice with Aon Hewitt. "Through our research, it's clear that Top Companies such as AT&T understand the connection between investing in leaders and financial success. Leaders at these organizations are passionate and committed. They have a focus on talent and developing leaders in a manner that is aligned with business goals."

Tsai announces bid to run for DPP chair
The China Post news staff and CNA Sunday, March 16, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The opposition Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) former Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen yesterday announced her bid to run for party leadership again, vowing to restore public trust in politics in Taiwan.
Tsai said at the announcement that she decided to run despite advice from "many senior (party members) and friends" that she needs to be "protected" now and should sit out the DPP chairperson election so as to focus on the 2016 presidential election. "While I thank people for their advice, I have to say I am a mature political figure. I don't need to be protected," Tsai said.
While Tsai stressed that she is not discrediting anybody in her decision to join the race, she expressed her feeling that Taiwan has been stuck in a quagmire and the nation has been "collapsing" over the past two years. Incumbent DPP leader Su Tseng-chang, Tsai's major competitor for the top opposition spot, assumed his position two years ago after Tsai was defeated by President Ma Ying-jeou in the 2012 presidential election and resigned as the DPP's chairwoman.
Tsai pointed out that the party and Taiwan's society need to "take a step forward" or be "eliminated" by the world. Electoral victories, while important, must not be built "on the back of disappointments with the current administration, but on the expectations and hope that the public has of the DPP," she said at a press conference to declare her candidacy. The DPP therefore has to boldly embark on a transformation, said Tsai.
"My decision to run for party chairperson is to restore public trust in politics, and to lead them to place their hope for themselves, their family, society and country back in the DPP," said Tsai in an English press release from her office.
By making the announcement, Tsai, 57, pitted herself against incumbent Su, 66. Both are said to be interested in running for president in 2016. Another former party boss, Frank Hsieh, has also announced his bid for the post. Hsieh, also a former presidential candidate, said that the next DPP chair should not join the 2016 presidential election in order to stay focused on leading the party in the election campaigns.
The party election will be held on May 25.
In the morning press conference, Tsai did not address how she would handle Taiwan's delicate relationship with China or make specific proposals on how to spur Taiwan's slow-growing economy.

AtriCure's results may differ materially from those discussed on today's call and AtriCure undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.I would like to remind everyone on the call today that the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has not cleared our products for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, or AF, or for stroke reduction. The company and others acting on its behalf may not promote any of its products or train doctors for the surgical treatment of AF or stroke reduction. These restrictions do not prevent doctors from choosing to use the products for the treatment of AF or stroke reduction or prevent AtriCure from engaging in sales and marketing efforts that focus only on the general attributes of the products for the current cleared uses. AtriCure educates and trains doctors in the proper use of its products and related technologies. With that, I would like to turn the call back to Dave. David Drachman Good morning. We announced this morning that we have closed enrollment in the current DEEP AF feasibility study in order to redesign the protocol. I will give you some additional background regarding that decision and following my remarks, we will have a question and answer period. The decision to close enrollment in the DEEP AF study was reached by AtriCure following a recent investigators meeting. This investigators meeting coincided with a meeting of the Data Safety and Monitoring Board, also known as the DSMB. The DSMB was convened to review the safety results for the trial that had been reported in the 24 patients enrolled to date. At the investigators meeting, the primary discussion points included the opportunities and challenges of performing the hybrid ablation procedure in a single session versus a staged hybrid approach.

Gorillaz mix and mash it up
Imagine attending a concert featuring R&B legend Bobby Womack, punk icons Mick Jones and Paul Simonon from the Clash, and hip-hop heroes De La Soul, yet not hearing one signature tune by any of those artists. Such was the case Wednesday at Agganis Arena; yet in the context of that evening's Gorillaz performance, there wasn't anything to complain about.
The above and more than 20 others assisted Damon Albarn in bringing to life the project that began a decade ago as animated videos of scruffy hooligans set to buoyant club-friendly musical mash-ups.
Albarn and Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett have nurtured this project into an intriguing oasis for both fans, who packed the arena, and musicians, as seen by the long and diverse list of honorary Gorillaz taking part in the ensemble's first big world tour, as well as those who appeared on the most recent Gorillaz album, "Plastic Beach.''
Albarn crafted a repertoire from all three Gorillaz albums and delivered the tunes with the backing of a six-piece string section, an Arabic music ensemble, multiple vocalists, and a straight-up funk-rock band. Hewlett's riveting animation ran throughout the entire show and supplied a visual continuity as the music coursed through myriad styles and genres.
But just as Albarn did not have his guest stars dip into their musical bags, he also did not let Gorillaz lapse into audio-visual shtick. The ensemble ably moved from soulful fare such as "Empire Ants'' (featuring the ethereal vocalist Little Dragon) and "Tomorrow Comes Today,'' to frenetic rave-ups such as "Superfast Jellyfish,'' which brought out De La Soul, and "Feel Good Inc.''
Womack's stirring turn on "Stylo'' came early in the show, as if Albarn was challenging himself to not jut sustain but surpass that musical high. He did just that, busting down musical fences in a way that was joyous and wild without a whiff of pretension.
N.E.R.D. opened for Gorillaz and sounded refreshed as it performed a handful of new songs that furthered the troupe's exploration into hip-hop, funk, and soul

Hi, i've been desperately searching the internet to come across some answers over what has been happening to me these past few weeks. My dad;s best friend moved in with us and we became close but it has never been in a way that i wanted anything sexual from him...long story short i fell asleep whilst watching a movie with him and woke up to him with his hand in my underwear and rubbing me (don't want to go into details but i'm sure you have an idea).
I was so shocked and scared i pretended to be asleep. He has been innapropriate with me since then...is this my fault? I'm scared of being alone with him around, and everyone loves him. What ami meant to do? I'm 19...i feel like i should've been adult enough to deal with confronting him and stopping him. Please help.
I'd also like to add he has told me of sexual behaviours that i seriously question and worry about, e.g. he enjoys physical pain as it arouses him. This worries me as he always tries to play fight with me despite me resisting. He also keeps texting me if he's not around saying he misses me and wants a hug. I really feel as if he might not even think he's doing anything wrong and that i have feelings for him... i've had experience of sexual harassment before at work and am starting to get concerned that it is my fault and i am giving these men the wrong idea

The Old House
A woefully neglected clapboard house is at the center of this straightforward story from the creators of Ms. Bitsy Bat's Kindergarten . Cole's visual personifications of the aged home include drooping eyes (two upstairs windows with tattered curtains) and a down-turned mouth (the sagging front stoop). Birds, a squirrel, a tall oak tree and wildflowers in the yard try to cheer up the unhappy old house, to no avail ("I'm so empty inside," it sobs). When a young family appears and contemplates purchasing it, the house's friends urge it to "Stand tall!", "Get a grip on yourself" and "Twinkle your windows!" Through his use of color and light in particular—the family, bright in clothing and outlook, shine against the house's oppressive dourness, which is emphasized by its muddy brown walls—Cole effectively conveys the changing tenor of the tale. Readers should readily pick up on the numerous themes Edwards balances: finding value below the surface and the importance of both friendship and self-esteem. Ages 3-up. (Oct.)

When a three-year old girl is reported missing, DCI Andy Gilchrist is assigned the case. But Gilchrist soon suspects that the child's mother - Andrea Davis - may be responsible for her daughter's disappearance or, worse, her murder.
The case becomes politically sensitive when Gilchrist learns that Andrea is the daughter of Dougal Davis, a former MSP who was forced to resign from Scottish Parliament after being accused of physically abusing his third wife. Now a powerful businessman, Davis demands Gilchrist's removal from the case when his investigation seems to be stalling. But then the case turns on its head when Gilchrist learns that a paedophile, recently released from prison, now lives in the same area as the missing child.
The paedophile is interrogated, but hours later his body is found floating in the harbour with evidence of blunt force trauma to the head, and Gilchrist launches a murder investigation. As pressure relentlessly mounts on Gilchrist, he begins to unravel a dark family secret, a secret he believes will solve the fate of the missing child.

"A Change of Tempo and Tone"
Like many I've really enjoyed this series. The combination of action, fine characters, grisly yet multi-layered plots and excellent narration have been a powerful and winning combination. This time things have changed a little. Compared to The Meating Room and others that preceded it this is a much more considered and less frenetic episode. I still enjoyed it and the narration is, of course still excellent. The plot has the usual twists and turns and Gilchrist's stress levels are indeed raised because of the case, his family and his relationship with Cooper. Gilchrist also has an interesting tussle with an old enemy within the force and Jessie continues to be a star in her own inimitable way.
It is undoubtedly a change of pace though. Don't get me wrong it's a way off becoming Midsomer Murders and there are some tough subjects at the core of this. I do wonder though if Muir struggled a bit with the child theme and reigned in his usual exuberance a bit as a result. Everything naturally becomes more sensitive once young children are at the core of a plot.
I'd still recommend this, I still enjoyed it but it is worth noting that it does run to a different tempo and tone in some ways to the other books. I think these things and the darkening relationship that Gilchrist has with Cooper mean that while still a worthy book it won't go down as a favourite of mine in this series.
I'll still be buying the next one though!
"Great performance and lots of suspense"
Being Scottish, it was nice to listen to a Scottish narrator & for the story to describe various locations in Scotland. I thought the story had lots of suspense and twists and turns & loved every bit of it. I will definitely be looking out for more books by the author & performances by the narrator, as his was great in this. I loved his ability to sound like an English or Scottish man or woman. I never guessed the outcome of the story, which I loved.
I'm @TeaganTheDog's mum. We live in Dorset and walk a lot & like geocaching. I became addicted to Audible in September 2015.
"Took a while..."
Took a while to get into this book - it was my first T F Muir and I wasn't sure whether I should have read the other 5 first, but once I got into it I was glued to my earphones listening at every opportunity.
I shall be going back to start with Book 1.
T F Muir never fails to hold his readers/ listeners .Would recommend all his books
Living in rural tranquility in France. I read everything except readers' l o n g reviews of books.
"Cut above the genre crime drama"
Very interesting and enjoyable book. Great narration with a fine Scottish voice. Twists and turns hold the interest to the end. An author to add to my list .
"Twists and turns"
All over the shop. Great value for me at 1.99 enjoyed it but won't buy the series
Being able to lose myself in a good book has saved my sanity more times than I really want to recall . Books are my favourite friends .
"Good story line"
loved it an exciting story line ,exvellent chatacters , will look for more books by this author
I am an avid multi tasker, I love to listen as I walk, ride, clean... Mostly love crime novels but have an occasional foray into other genre
I tried to listen a couple of times but wasn't gripped. The story takes a long time to get going. I really only finished it because I was on a long car journey. The story in the end, is quite complex, it has all the right ingredients for a good detective story. It just doesn't quite deliver. This was my second TF Muir boom and my opinion hang changed. Just not for me.
"Change from the previous books"
Fantastic read although less tense than the previous books in the series, note the title change of direction. A good mixture of intrigue and the mind of a criminal.
"Blood Torment by T. f. Muir"
I really liked this story the characters good and the reading made even more enjoyable I recommend this story it was interesting that there was two stories with main character life it made it bind together and more real as well it drew more into the story and made it more real

JOHOR BARU: A 53-year-old sales manager here is crying foul that his car registration number has been used by someone else to commit traffic offences, resulting in seven summonses against him within two months.
"Someone is using the same car plate number as my Naza Citra," an angry Tan Kwee Huat (pic) claimed, saying he first got wind of the matter when he received a traffic summons on June 3.
"I checked my work schedule and realised that I was not in the area where the offence took place," he told a press conference at the office of Senator Khoo Soo Seang here.
After a second summons, this time from the Johor Baru city council, he went to a car park company in Permas Jaya to report the matter and verify pictures that accompanied the summons.
To his shock, he found that the car in the pictures was of the same colour and make as his own, with an identical number plate.
The difference, he said, was that his car had five stickers on the windshield.
Tan has lodged a police report at the Taman Perling police station.
State internal security, public order and traffic chief Supt T. Raveendran advised those who encounted such problems to report the matter as soon as possible.

Za'atar Spiced Grilled Chicken breasts are tender and juicy thanks to a simple marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and za'atar.
Za'atar is one of my favorite spice blends of all time which is why it thrills me beyond belief to see it becoming trendy these days. The truth is, when I open up a bag of fresh za'atar, the earthy, smoky aroma immediately transports me back into my Great Aunt Vieve's kitchen.
I have countless memories of being a little girl watching her as she masterfully sprinkled za'atar over her famous Middle Eastern Salad with Lemon, Mint and Garlic.
If you're not familiar with za'atar, think of it as an all-in-one Middle Eastern spice blend, similar to my All-Purpose Lebanese Spice Blend. In addition to spicing up any salad, it is an ideal rub for grilled meats and vegetables.
When combined with olive oil, lemon juice and fresh garlic it turns chicken breasts into a tender, juicy and flavor-packed weeknight dinner the whole family will devour. Be sure to grill a little extra chicken – it's great the next day in sandwiches, salads or pitas.
Your fork is waiting.
Place chicken breasts in a large glass baking dish or resealable plastic bag.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, za'atar, garlic, salt and pepper then pour marinade over the chicken. Move chicken breasts around to ensure they are evenly coated in mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Grill chicken breasts on medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees or higher. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving to allow juices to re-distribute.

Floyd's offers a barber shop and a salon
May 25, 2014
How did your business start?
After working four years in a barber shop in Carbondale, I decided I wanted to have a shop of my own where I could implement my philosophy of quality work, how to treat my customers in a professional manner and build a business based on integrity, in every respect. So, in 1999 I opened Floyd's of Mayberry Barber Shop on Main Street in Carbondale, which turned into a most successful operation.
Being raised in Glenwood Springs, living here virtually all my life, my ultimate goal was to bring Floyd's to Glenwood.
A dream opportunity materialized in a lovely house at 1316 Grand Ave., where we have a long-term lease and intend to be for many years to come.
What do you sell?
We do men's haircuts, walk-ins only, at $19. In our salon, which is completely separated from the barber shop, we do women's cuts, color and highlighting, by appointment only.
Recommended Stories For You
We are also known for being a clean, sanitized shop and salon, offering an enjoyable, fun ambiance.
What positive lessons did you learn during the recession?
The vast majority of our customers kept coming back, indicating that our pricing is reasonably set for the area. We work off of volume and high quality instead of high prices.
What strategy do you use to hire good people?
We are all independent contractors.
Collectively the three of us have 83 years of experience in the trade. The owner, Pat, has been cutting men's hair for 23 years; her sister Connie Bolin-Gilstrap, who does men and women, has 33 years; and Julie Dodo, concentrating on men's cuts but also does women, has been in it for 27 years.
Potential additions to our trio would have to have longtime experience, be well-established in the business, and be a true professional with proven integrity.
What is your strategy for growth in the new year?
When we told our customers in the Carbondale location that we are moving to Glenwood, we were pleased to learn, and pleasantly surprised, that about 50 percent of them actually live in Glenwood. This gives us a good base, but we will obviously work on expanding our customer base here. A lot of our business comes from word of mouth from satisfied customers.
With our location on Grand Avenue we also expect drive by new customers from up and down the valley.
We want to be an active member of the community; we immediately joined the Glenwood Chamber of Commerce.
What is the best thing of running a business here?
Number one is our customers, we have so much fun with them, most have a great sense of humor and make our days at work not seem like work at all. It seems to be a special kind of positive character among the people who live here in the valley, certainly one of the best places in the world to be, and we are so happy to be a part of that.

item method
Retrieves an object from a TextRange collection.
retVal = object.item(pvarIndex);
- pvarIndex [in]
Type: VARIANTPointer to a VARIANT of type VT_I4 or VT_BSTR that specifies the object or collection to retrieve. If this parameter is an integer, it is the zero-based index of the object. If this parameter is a string, all objects with matching IHTMLDOMAttribute2::name or IHTMLElement::id properties are retrieved, and a collection is returned if more than one match is made.
Standards information
There are no standards that apply here.
Always check the IDispatch pointer returned by this call, even if the method returns S_OK. If the value of the pointer is NULL, the element was not found and the call was not successful.
Upon successful return, the pvarResult parameter contains an IDispatch interface pointer or an array of IDispatch interface pointers that can be queried for a specific interface, depending on the collection type.
IHTMLTxtRangeCollection::item returns a VARIANT of type VT_DISPATCH that can be queried for IHTMLTxtRange.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 does not provide multiple selection. The default implementation of this method returns a collection consisting of a single TextRange object
Host applications can provide a multiple selection mechanism and can return a collection of TextRange objects that represents discontinuous selections.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
no, I still get a no signal
no. The hdm2 line does not work anywhere else. the dvd is connected by three wires, white, yellow, and red. That is all the wires that are connected to the tv.
yes. we took the hdm1 cable from another tv and it didn't work. I have little kids in the house. Is it possible they touched a button somewhere on the tv that would cause this?

Sometimes I'm glad that I'm an old man (73) and don't have many more years left.
As I posted earlier, this is a complex situation, and there is no "right" answer for all situations.
However, after reading this thread all the way through, the idea that a man would refuse to act when his Creator (or fate if you prefer) places him in a position to save innocent lives, just goes against everything that I was taught and have believed throughout my life about Americanism and about manhood.
I have had the honor and privilege of serving with and leading brave men. I have tried to live my life as a brave and honorable man. A life befitting an officer and a gentleman. That has caused me problems from time to time. Nevertheless, my firm belief is that when I stand before the Judgement Seat, I will be judged on my actions. And I will be accountavble for my sins of omission as well as commission.
I do not envy the young people of today, but I do pray for them. In all probability, thery will never have the opportunity, and the joy, of knowing the America that I knew.
The soldier's pack is not so heavy a burden as the prisoner's chains.

There are two mercantile non-branded Starbucks. Not three. Not four. TWO. Why am I writing this? I recently was reading a blog entry posted by Jon Cook to a Reuters blog about Starbucks and brand avoidance. To be clear, I understand that not everyone is a Starbucks fan, and there is some intense Starbucks negativity out there. However, I've read a few blogs here and there which confuse various concept and heritage store design branded-Starbucks with the two non-branded "inspired by" Starbucks stores. This recent Reuters blog begins with the very same mistake which I've seen elsewhere on blogs:
"Last week, Roy Street Coffee and Tea, located at the corners of Roy Street and Broadway in Seattle, opened. This is another one of those stealth Starbucks – Starbucks stores without the Starbucks name over the front door – the coffee giant has been opening in its hometown and in London as of late."
By reading the above, one might be under the impression that there is a mercantile Starbucks in London, which is simply not true. The above example confuses the Conduit Street LEED registered concept store with the "street level" non branded Starbucks. Even more importantly, as I am talking to my friends on twitter, my colleagues, and those around me about the experiences to be had at 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea, and Roy Street Coffee, I realize that many people have no idea what I am talking about.
Consider this blog post your introduction to the "mercantile Starbucks" stores, or "Street Level Starbucks".
So again, there are ONLY TWO "non branded" Starbucks. Sometimes you'll hear these Starbucks called the "street level stores" or sometimes they're referred to as the "inspired by Starbucks" and sometimes it is the "mercantile Starbucks". Pick your pleasure which of those phrases you want to use to describe these TWO stores. And again, the two stores are 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea and Roy Street Coffee.
So the logical question is "what's different about these stores?". I want to answer that question from the perspective of someone who spends time in these two non-branded locations. I've read writers/bloggers talk about these different stores with descriptions that make it sound like they've never stepped foot into a mercantile Starbucks. So to highlight a few differences between these two stores and a Starbucks:
What's different about the two mercantile non-branded Starbucks?
- There is no green classic Starbucks logo. However both stores have the words "inspired by Starbucks" somewhere on or about the entrance.
- In the mercantile Starbucks there is no "Venti" size – You can order 8 ounce, 12 ounce, or 16 ounce beverages.
- These stores use a manual espresso machine. Roy Street Coffee uses a Synesso espresso maker.
- There is no whole bean wall of beans in flavorlock packaging. Beans come fresh from the Kent roasting plant and are scooped out on a bin, sold in one-fourth of a pound increments. Generally, beans have been roasted within the previous 2 weeks of being sold at the streetlevel stores.
- The stores occasionally receive small quantities of rare international Starbucks whole bean coffee.
- At 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea there are no blenders, so there are no Frappuccinos or any other blender beverage.
- At Roy Street Coffee there are blenders, but Vivannos are not on the menu.
- Pastries are locally sourced from the Essential Baking Company, and thus have nothing in common with Starbucks pastries.
- There are no drip brewers: Coffee is either offered as Clover, a Pour-Over, or in a French press.
- At 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea, a customer can also order coffee brewed in a Chemex coffee maker.
- There appears to be no barista dress code.
- The selection of syrups is very limited (no Pumpkin Spice or other typical Starbucks syrups) and syrups are Monin brand syrup.
- Simple syrup from Monin is available at the condiment area. Also Agave syrup in on the condiment counter.
- Tea selection is only full-leaf Tazo tea.
- Coffee or tea cuppings are done daily.
- Milk is strictly steamed per beverage and there is never a pitcher of milk to make multiple espresso beverages. There are no thermometers.
- Whole milk is the default milk.
- The mocha syrup is ganache from Essential Baking Company.
- Both serve hot tomato soup from Tom Douglas restaurants.
- Beer and wine are available for purchase.
- Roy Street Coffee offers Dry Soda.
- Both serve local foods including a Beecher's cheese plate, and a Salumi meat tray.
- Merchandise does not have green Starbucks logo, and merchandise is much more tied to the core competency of coffee. One does not find books and CDs.
- 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea sells little potted coffee plants.
- Store designs are unique store specific using many re-purposed furnishings.
- Roy Street Coffee has unisex bathrooms with hand washing station in a common area and not in stalls.
- Beverages feature latte art when served in for-here ware.
- Speed of service is generally slower than at a Starbucks branded store.
- Menu boards are chalk menu boards with changing offerings.
- Occasionally these stores receive a limited number of coffee beans from subsidiary coffee brands such as Torrefazione or Seattle's Best Coffee.
- Both stores feature live local artists/musicians at times.
- Pike Place Roast is not offered in the whole bean selection (though whole bean selection rotates often.).
- Neither streetlevel store offers any "pairings" discounts.
So why are all these details important? The devil is in the details. The stores are working test stores on an extreme level. They hearken back to the time when beans were scooped out bins, and the Starbucks experience really was all about the coffee. Grind, Brew, and Share. They are the starting point in a process of figuring out what can and cannot be launched on large-scale, what works, what customers like, and probably what's profitable too!
I have no doubt that if any customer asks the partners at these stores if they work for Starbucks, they'll say 'yes'. There is nothing sneaky about the stores. Of course, a customer particularly knowledgeable about Starbucks will recognize within two minutes that it is completely operated as a Starbucks business. Things like well-known Starbucks coffees such as Verona, Christmas Blend, or Gold Coast give away immediately that this is a Starbucks. And 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea has Via Ready Brew for sale!
Circling back to where this blog entry began, the point here was to distinguish these two stores from the "concept" design Starbucks stores. The "concept" stores are Starbucks. Though they may have beautiful store designs and Clover brewers, they're truly Starbucks. They offer the typical Starbucks beverages and food, and baristas wear green aprons, and they proudly display a green Siren in numerous places.
In a prior blog entry, I pointed out that innovative store design is happening all over Starbucks, but a few stores have been opened up as sort of 'showcase' store design stores, and so to list them, they are as follows:
- Conduit Street, London
- Disney Paris Starbucks
- First and Pike, "Heritage Starbucks" (opened new 3-13-2009).
- Remodeled University Village
- Starbucks Madrid Palace Store
All of the above concept stores are Starbucks. I realize that I said that before, but it bears repeating. Though the above stores often have very unique store designs, their menu offerings are predictable Starbucks: Oatmeal, lattes, Pike Place Roast, Frappuccinos, and so on …
In short, I hope that I have been able to clear up some of the confusion surrounding the two non-branded streetlevel Starbucks. Of course the most interesting chapter of this story has not yet been written. It will be interesting to see how these two stores are functioning one year from now and whether they've been able to maintain labor intensive things such as daily cuppings, or whether they've given in to more classic Starbucks offerings such as more syrups, larger sizes, and more Frappuccinos.
Of course if you're in Seattle, be sure to visit Roy Street Coffee or 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea! So what do you think?
[[Edit: How odd – I think the original Reuters blog link that I referenced at the beginning of this story has been taken down!]]

Portugal icon Eusebio dies at 71
Legendary Portugal striker Eusebio has died at the age of 71.
• Brassell: Remembering La Pantera Negra
• Brewin: Eusebio the Portuguese pioneer
• Moonda: Eusebio's Mozambique roots
• Gallery: His life in pictures
Considered to be one of the greatest players of all-time, Eusebio was the top goalscorer at the 1966 World Cup for Portugal, scoring nine goals as they finished in third place.
The former forward had been admitted to hospital a number of times over the past 12 months as he battled heart and respiratory problems. On Sunday, it was confirmed he had died of cardiac arrest.
Born in the then-Portuguese colony of Mozambique, Eusebio moved to Europe and made his name with Benfica, winning the 1962 European Cup and being named European Footballer of the Year three years later in 1965.
Continental glory did not always prove so easy to come by, however, and his Benfica side -- expected to dominate Europe in the 1960s -- tasted European Cup final heartache in 1963, 1965 and 1968.
Nonetheless, Eusebio cemented his reputation as one of the world's most fearsome attacking talents, with his searing pace and mazy dribbling proving the scourge of some of the game's best defenders. He netted a remarkable 733 times in 745 professional games.
Real Madrid star and current Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo led the tributes to Eusebio on Twitter.
Always eternal #Eusebio, rest in peace pic.twitter.com/n25X0q9rfF
— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) January 5, 2014
Former winger Luis Figo added his voice, tweeting: "The king! Great loss for all of us! The greatest!"
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho also echoed the sentiments, saying of his compatriot:" I think he is immortal. We all know what he meant for football and especially for Portuguese football. He was not only a great inspiration but also an important figure in upholding the values, principles and feelings of football."
And the Portuguese Football Federation paid homage to Eusebio on its official website, saying: "Portugal is in mourning. He died in the early hours of Sunday, a victim of cardiac arrest, Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, the King, King of Magriços 1966 and eternal symbol of the country, the Seleção and SL Benfica."

By Eddie Timanus, USA TODAY Sports
The first marquee showdown of the 2013 college football season livedup to its billing, and its winner was rewarded with a top-five spot inthe new USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll on Tuesday.
Clemson's38-35 home victory against Georgia helped the Tigers vault into the No.5 position that had been occupied by the Bulldogs. It is Clemson'sfirst top-five appearance since October of 2000 when it held the No.4spot.
The top four teams remained the same with Alabama holdingsteady at No. 1. The Crimson Tide retained all 58 of the No.1 votes theyreceived in preseason balloting after a 35-10 win against Virginia Techin Atlanta.
Second-rankedOhio State maintained three No. 1 votes. Oregon stayed put at No.3after an easy tune-up against FCS member Nicholls State. Stanford, theonly top25 team not in action on opening weekend, remained fourth. TexasA&M retained the 62nd and final first-place vote, but the Aggieswere leapfrogged by both Clemson and South Carolina and slid a notch toNo. 7. Sunshine State rivals Florida and Florida State round out the top10.
Stock up: Florida State.
The splashy Monday night debutof freshman sensation Jameis Winston helped the Seminoles climb twoplaces to No.10. Most football fans in ACC country have had FSU's Oct.19 trip to Clemson circled on the calendar already, but now anation-wide audience is likely to take notice if the two front-runnerscome into Death Valley undefeated as expected.
Stock down: Georgia.
It was only a three-point loss in afrenzied road environment, but the Bulldogs tumbled seven places toNo.12 nonetheless. The slide was hastened by the lack of upsets in thetop 10. Georgia can start heading back in the other direction next weekif it can beat no.6 South Carolina at home.
Stock up: UCLA.
TheBruins join Clemson as the biggest movers of the week with theirthree-position gain to No.18. UCLA, a winner against Nevada, edged aheadof Nebraska, which needed to stave off a challenge from Wyoming.
Stock down: Notre Dame.
Throughno fault of their own, the Fighting Irish lost two positions and checkin at No.13 this week. Though Notre Dame took care of business againstTemple, it was supplanted in the No.11 slot by LSU, whose 10-point winvs. TCU was viewed more favorably by the voters.
Stock up: Northwestern.
Despitelosing two key offensive starters to injury early in the first half,the Wildcats overcame a determined California squad in Berkeley.Northwestern gained two spots to enter the top 20.
Stock down: TCU.
TheHorned Frogs weren't knocked out of the rankings completely. But theloss to LSU did cost them their top-20 preseason position. They held onto a 24th-place tie.
New kids on the block: No.23 Washington, No.24 Miami (Fla.)
College dropouts: Boise State, Oregon State.

What accessories are available for the iPad?
Like the iPod and the iPhone, a range of third-party accessories will be available for the iPad, including cases, stands, docks, cables and screen protectors. Apple has a number of official iPad accessories on sale through the Apple Store.
iPad keyboard dock: $89
Although the iPad isn't designed for serious word processing, there will be many users who won't be able to live with the touchscreen keyboard. The iPad keyboard dock is a charging dock and a full-size keyboard in one. The dock has a rear dock connector port and an audio line-out port.
iPad case: $48
The iPad's display may be scratch resistant but the aluminium finish is not, so a case is highly recommended. In addition to protecting your iPad, Apple's iPad case also doubles as a flip out stand, so it's ideal for those wanting to use the iPad as a digital photo frame around the home.
iPad dock: $39
The iPad can be awkward to hold due to its size and if you have limited desk space at home, a dock could be ideal to save some space. Like the keyboard dock, the standard Apple iPad dock has a rear dock connector and an audio line-out port.
iPad camera connection kit: $39
One of the chief criticisms of the iPad is its lack of a USB port or a memory card reader for uploading photos. Apple's answer is the camera connection kit — it's available in USB or SD card models and means you don't have to connect the iPad to your PC to upload photos.
Apple will sell a number of accessories for the iPad including a keyboard dock, a case that doubles as a stand and a camera connection kit that allows users to upload photos to the iPad without a PC.
iPad USB power adapter: $39
Unfortunately, Apple only provides a USB cable in the sales package to charge the iPad. The iPad power adapter lets you charge your iPad through an electrical outlet and comes with a longer cord. We feel this should have been included with the iPad.
iPad dock connector to VGA adapter: $39
This cable allows users to connect an iPad to a projector or monitor and display content such as photos, videos and apps on a larger screen. Unfortunately, this accessory only outputs images and video, not sound.

Baseball returns to Millerville
With many of its baseball players unable to find roster spots on area teams in previous years, the Millerville Millers were happy to return to the Resorters amateur baseball league after a decade-long absence on Sunday.
A season-opening victory was an added bonus. The Millers' return to the league was a successful one in a 6-3 win over Sauk Centre in Millerville. Aaron Lund picked up the win on the mound by tossing five innings of scoreless baseball as the Millers made the most of five hits by drawing six walks.
"I thought overall we hit the ball pretty good, decently for the first game at least," said Dan Schaffer, co-manager of the Millers.
Center fielder Zach Carlson, third baseman Schaffer and right fielder Craig Campbell picked up one RBI each as the Millers also took advantage of some Titans errors and misplays in the field. The difference in the ballgame was in the third inning as Millerville scored three runs and nearly batted through the entire order.
"We took the advantages that they gave us and made with what we got," Carlson said.
Even though they started the season off with a win, the Millers have not set many goals for wins and losses. The Millers originally decided to form a team after many of their players struggled to find playing time on the other veteran rosters in the Resorters baseball league.
They will spend the first months just shaking the rust off as many of the Millers have not played baseball in a few seasons.
"We just are expecting to have fun," Schaffer said. "If we win some games, that's a bonus."
With the exception of two players, the entire roster graduated from either Brandon or Evansville high schools. This has created a sense of familiarity for the team's players.
"Everybody here played together, pretty much," Lund said.
Even though the team is brand new, the Millers had no problem finding players to fill the roster. Schaffer said the roster filled up quickly and he received many additional requests in the offseason from people who want to join the roster. Some of those had to be turned down as there are only so many spots on the roster.
"I have 18, 19, 20 guys now," Schaffer said. "And if you have more than 20 you're sitting there, how the (heck) are you going to play everyone?"
The players spent last fall fixing up the aging Millerville baseball field with the help of a grant from the Minnesota Twins Community Fund. The field is unlike most in the area, with a high fence in left field sitting just 270 feet from home plate.
With all the work getting the field in playing shape and filling the roster finally completed, the Millers were happy to finally get out on the field.
"We've been practicing probably like two or three weeks now," Schaffer said. "We've been throwing in the gym for some pitching for probably a month-and-a-half now."
The Millers' next game is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 11 in Millerville against the Carlos Cougars.

CYCLISTS are being put in danger as tacks are left on a well-used route into Salisbury.
At least eight cyclists have had their tyres burst by the sharp objects, which were left on the path between the Petersfinger crossing on the A36 and Marshmead Close in Alderbury, which is part of the National Cycle Network.
Cyclist Paul Griffiths found two patches of about 800 tacks scattered across the path after his bike tyre was punctured at the weekend.
He is worried that concerned bike riders will instead end up on the busy A36, which he says is a more dangerous route into Salisbury for cyclists.
"I was planning to cycle down there when someone warned me that several other people had ridden over these tacks," he said.
"I didn't want to go on the main road so decided to risk it, and before long a tack had gone into one of my tyres and punctured it.
"Whoever is doing this is being very inconsiderate and putting cyclists at risk."
A sign advising cyclists to dismount in the area has also been removed.
After hearing of several other cyclists who had also suffered burst tyres, Mr Griffiths returned to the area on Monday with a magnet and brush to try to determine the extent of the problem and sweep up the tacks.
"I thought there might be just a few in the Marshmead Close area but when I got onto the footpath I saw there were hundreds," he said.
"I had to weigh them rather than count them.
"People need to be warned about this."
Mr Griffiths is a volunteer for the environmentally friendly travel pressure group Sustrans which supports cycling initiatives.
Sustrans has been campaigning to have a cycle crossing over the A36 to make it easier and safer for cyclists to reach Salisbury from Alderbury.
"Sadly there are tragedies where cyclists are hit on main roads and we need to do all we can to avoid this," he said.
"Now because of the actions of someone who is leaving tacks on the path, more cyclists might be forced to consider risking it and cycling on the A36."
Wiltshire Police have been informed about the problem and anyone with information is asked to call 101.

Pearl Harbor Plus 66 Years
Item: How vets remember Pearl Harbor: Japanese attacked Hawaiian Naval base 66 years ago today/Lynn Berk, Coeur d'Alene Press
Bill Griffith: "I remember it very well. I was a sophomore in college and I was living in a fraternity house and we were all gathered in the living room waiting for the time to have breakfast. The radio was on, and we heard, 'Pearl Harbor had been bombed.' I don't think none of us had the slightest idea where it was ... prior to that time, I was a firm pacifist. I very quickly changed. When I graduated from high school, I gave the salutatorian's talk, very pacifistic. I said we're delighted to graduate and go on and do some noble work."
Question: Will 9/11 be remembered as passionately 66 years from now as Pearl Harbor is today?

GOOP for Normals: An Attainable Lifestyle Newsletter
by Sarah-Grace Sweeney
A weekly newsletter from my attainable lifestyle brand to make you feel just a little bit fancy.
Walk around your house in a robe and lacy underwear. You know, the kind that you normally save for someone else. But just do it for you, dammit. Some may mistake this for laziness, but you will be too busy being glam to acknowledge them.
Make lumpy-ish green smoothie, but you have to use the spinach in your fridge that looks a little old and slimy. Gwyneth doesn't tell you this, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Putting lemon in your water makes you feel like you are drinking water at a fancy restaurant. Lemons are cheap and water is free. It's OK if you are drinking it in your bed that is also full of pizza crumbs.
Sit outside and read. (If you are wearing sunglasses, just stare at other people.) Acting like you have loads of time to lounge and read is luxurious. No one has to know it's only because you are between jobs. Sometimes you can sit outside a coffee shop and not even buy anything and almost no one will notice.
Forget that someone has likely puked or fornicated in your shower/tub recently. Fill that bathtub up and light a candle and listen to Fiona Apple. Drink some cheap wine, if you have it. I'm sorry if you cry.
Leave your air conditioning on for a little bit longer than you know you should.
Once a month, buy a piece of fresh organic fruit.
Wear a long skirt or maxi dress and kind of glide around instead of just "walking."
Go on an unintentional cleanse: puke up last night's cheap liquor and eat only a popsicle for the rest of the day.
Put lotion on your legs.
Shave your legs.
Art direct your lame food and then put a good Instagram filter on it.
Put an inspirational Post-it note on your bathroom mirror: "Mom will probably transfer $50 into your bank account if you need it."

THE glint of a scythe flickered behind David Moyes in his return to Everton yesterday.
It was only a supporter dressed up as the Grim Reaper to celebrate the demise of Manchester United as a Champions League team, but a few performances like this one next season could spell the end for the Scot as manager at Old Trafford.
Post-match, he accused his side of "rank rotten" defending after Everton had strolled to an easy 2-0 victory. Moyes was barracked by the crowd throughout, and it was grimmer on the pitch as his team suffered their 11th defeat of a pitiful season.
Loading article content
Phil Jones blocked Romelu Lukaku's shot with his outstretched arm and Leighton Baines converted the resulting penalty before Alex Buttner played Kevin Mirallas onside and the Belgian beat David de Gea from a tight angle.
Moyes tried to put a positive spin on what was a dreadful defeat, but he did not hold back when giving his assessment of his team's defending for both goals. "I thought the two goals we conceded today were rank rotten," the United manager said.
"The [first] goal was a big kick up the pitch, it was nodded down and picked up, and for us to concede a goal like that was terrible. The second was a better move but we should have defended it much better that we did.
"We gave away two terrible goals but prior to that we passed the ball brilliantly, kept the ball, had great control of the game. What we couldn't do is make enough chances, but we had great control and we got done by two stupid decisions."
The result and the performances of both sides showed just how much United have regressed under Moyes and how far Everton have come under his successor Roberto Martinez, who has now collected a record 20 league wins since moving to Goodison Park. United tested Tim Howard on just two occasions while Everton outmuscled and outclassed their opponents in midfield. Wayne Rooney had a disappointing afternoon in front of goal while Lukaku caused Jonny Evans and Jones problems throughout. Moyes, surprisingly, thought his team did not play too badly.
"We played well in the first half," he said. "I didn't think we deserved to go in 2-0 down at half-time."
Martinez, who became the first Everton manager to do the double over United in 44 years, hailed the performance as "electrifying".
"This was an important win for our fans," said the Spaniard. "That tells you this group of players is ready to develop. That performance was full of energy, it was dynamic on the counterattack. I thought we looked electrifying."

Christopher Hart, best-selling author of many popular art technique books on manga and more, is swinging by Unbound Worlds to offer a bit of his own expertise to those aspiring and developing artists in need or want of a little improvement.
I receive many emails at my website, but far and away, the most frequent questions are written in an almost urgent plea for advice on how to improve as an artist. Wisely, they are looking for a plan of action, which will move the quality of their art to the next square on the checkerboard. In response, I've developed a three-pronged approach to help fellow artists improve, and even reach their ultimate goal: to become a professional artist.
To get where you want to go, just remember this acronym:
T.I.P., as in "Art Tips."
T = Time
Theoretically, it's possible to improve by leaps and bounds without putting in the time to practice. Theoretically, it's also possible that all the oxygen molecules in the room will suddenly gather in one corner and you'll suffocate at your drafting table. But both of these things are equally unlikely. However, that doesn't mean that unless you confine yourself to a dark and dreary corner of the room and draw for five hours each day, you'll never improve. Continuity is more important than the number of hours you put in. Where can you find the time to draw in your busy schedule? That's easy. Next time you're watching TV, pick up a sketchpad and draw for an hour while your show is on. By doing this three or more times a week, you'll remain in a progress-driven mode.
I = Information
Without exception, beginners acquire a few – or more – bad habits. We've all been there, including yours truly. It's not a judgment; it simply means that you need to replace the techniques that aren't getting you where you want to go, with new techniques that will. Where do you find these techniques? At the risk of sounding self-promoting, it's simply a fact that every pro artist has purchased his or her share of How-to-Draw books. In addition, your local art center probably offers art courses, as may local colleges and universities as part of their Continuing Ed offerings. I recommend that you take a few. Just don't expect to find an instructor who knows anything about manga or contemporary cartoons. However, there are many excellent life-drawing and still-life teachers at many of these small art centers. Drawing bowls of fruit may not be your preferred subject matter – or mine – but the experience of attempting to draw realistically will give you more tools to solve your drawing challenges in your preferred style of art. Go to comics conventions and get feedback from editors as well as pros who display their work in the "Artists' Alley." The question of whether to attend an art college or simply to take a series of art courses at a liberal arts university is a complex one. There's not adequate room in this column to do it justice.
P = Perspective
Most people fall into one of two categories: They either love everything they draw, or criticize it to death. My philosophy on this differs from most, but I believe it produces better results faster: Work on improving your strengths before you concentrate on fixing your weaknesses.
Here's the concept behind this approach: As an artist, people tend to improve faster at things that they do well than at things that they don't. By focusing on improving your weak points first, the best outcome you can hope for is to end up at the same drawing level, but devoid of obvious flaws. Not thrilling. However, by first concentrating on your strengths, your drawing level tends to improve, and faster. Once that occurs, apply your increased skills to fixing your drawbacks. You will then be addressing your challenges with a higher degree of ability and confidence.
No skimping! Incorporating all three of these elements produces better results than just settling for one or two.
In closing, I'd like to thank the people at Unbound Worlds for inviting me to contribute this piece, and I wish all of you the very best in all of your artistic endeavors.
Christopher Hart is the world's bestselling author of drawing and cartooning books. His books have set the standard for art instruction with more than 2.5 million copies in print in eighteen languages. Renowned for up-to-the-minute content and easy-to-follow steps, all of Hart's books have become staples for a new generation of aspiring artists and professionals. Christopher's latest books are Young Artists Draw Manga and Basic Anatomy for the Manga Artist. Visit Christopher's website here.

Nothing makes the first semester of the school year memorable like a former professor's public meltdown. One-time Penn State University Andrew Bergstein professor reportedly put on a show at the campus Panera Bread this afternoon for dropping trou and wiping his ass in public:
Our source adds: "It happened at about 1:30pm, and it was beside the Beaver ave entrance and I left because I thought he would do something crazy. I'm not entirely sure if the police was called."
Pre-med student Gabriel De León passed the news along to BroBible, adding that this is the same ex-professor who got into an explosive argument with a campus preacher. This dude is tanking on some Michael Douglas, Falling Down shit. Someone needs to step in and intervene.
In the meantime:

For some, taking a look back was a nice way to get going
HOPKINTON - Standing on a podium, where she would be the starter for the women's division of yesterday's 112th Boston Marathon, Joan Benoit Samuelson took a long, reflective look down at the field of elite runners warming up.
Samuelson, 50, set an American record for her age group in Sunday's Olympic Trials in Boston - knowing it was her last competitive marathon. Yesterday she mused about the huge growth in the women's half of the sport since she won her first Boston in 1979, then established her legendary image by winning the first women's Olympic marathon in 1984.
"The sport has come so far," said Samuelson. "I'll never be able to train at the level I trained at again for [Sunday's] race, but I'll run Boston one more time before I end my career.
"I would love to come out and run with my son or my daughter," added the two-time Boston winner. "But [Sunday], just to be able to run through the streets of Boston, where I started my career 29 years ago, was really a wonderful time to reflect on what Boston means to me and what all these runners from around the world have done to support me over the years.
"When I saw my daughter [Abby, 18] on the course cheering me on, I really had a tear in my eye, because I was running marathons long before she was born."
Samuelson's appearance in Hopkinton yesterday was part of what has become a pageant unto itself - the prerace hours at the town's bucolic village green.
A mob of well-wishers with cameras greeted cycling star Lance Armstrong, No. 100, when he appeared at the start with his own film crew. That was shortly after Spyros Zagaris, the mayor of Marathon, Greece, presented the town with a replica of the marathon winner's trophy from the first modern Olympics in 1896, then acknowledged the torch from Greece that was burning on the green, another gift from his town.
Trooper Dan Clark once again sang "God Bless America," and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry fired the starting gun for the wheelchair division.
The Marathon now runs so smoothly that 21-year race director Dave McGillivray not only can put on two marathons in two days (he directed the Olympic Trials), he always expects the unexpected, ever-ready to react.
With the elite women runners tensed as the countdown continued, Samuelson held the starter pistol aloft and . . . nothing. Not even a "bang" flag.
Swiftly, McGillivray produced another gun, recycled the countdown to the next minute, and Samuelson fired in the air. No, this had never happened before, said McGillivray, but the extra pistol has always been on hand just in case.
"Just remember," he said with a grin before mounting a maroon motorbike for the trip to Boston ahead of the men's division, "pressure is a privilege."
The marathon has as many motivations as it does runners, many of them inspirational. In the crowd, stretching and warming up on the common, was 21-year old Northeastern student Katie Jerdee, who had never run long distances before.
But a year ago, Jerdee suffered a stroke similar to the one Tedy Bruschi had, and in her recovery she joined the Patriot linebacker's American Stroke Awareness campaign. Last Thanksgiving, Jerdee, a soccer player, began training for the distance, and yesterday she just hoped to make it to the finish. (She did, in 5:10:36.)
Jamie Parks, 46, of Chicago, was also stretching before the start, exchanging encouragement with his wife Lynn, whom he pushed in a wheelchair. The Parks Family Running Team, dressed in team shirts, has run several marathons, and last completed the Montreal race in 3:15, according to Jamie.
"Our Chicago Marathon is a great race," he said, "but Boston is the big one. It's the one you have to do if you run marathons. We've been getting excited to be here, even with all the hills."
If Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" has become entrenched as the anthem of the Red Sox, Neil Young's "Long May They Run" made for a less mystifying connection with the 25,000 runners who, after all the training and waiting and mounting tension, finally whooped and hollered their way out of town under a large mounted TV camera.
"Whenever I'm in Fenway Park, I always hear people asking, 'What does "Sweet Caroline" have to do with anything?' " said Jerry McGonnagle, who was selling sausages on the village green (not many to runners).
"But that song, it makes sense. Those people have a long way to run."


text: A few notable quotes from the article... ______ Texans to take a closer look at Young "I'm excited to watch Vince throw because he's a really talented young man, but the Longhorns have a lot of other good prospects, too," McNair said. "I'm looking forward to watching all of them." "Since Vince didn't participate in the drills at the combine, this is our first chance to see him since the Rose Bowl," McNair said. "I can listen to the coaches and scouts tell me about Vince. I can watch him on film, too, but I still like to watch him work out. "We plan to bring Vince and Reggie to Houston, too, so we can meet with them." Asked what Davis told him about Young, Kubiak smiled and said, "A lot of great things, naturally." "Hey, it's how the kid plays the game," Kubiak said. "Greg Davis said Vince was a great kid who's very coachable. Greg feels like Vince is just getting started as far as reaching his full potential as a quarterback." Houston Chronicle

I can find very little about this being a tea and only a little as being a rare plant.
'Glutinous rice fragrance tea
Polished glutinous rice fragrance tea is made by mixing wild Semnostachya menglaensis H. P. Tsui into Yunnan large-leaf tea. Its tea water is red and transparent, and it tastes sweet and mellow. It also has the effects of clearing heat and removing toxicity, etc.'
This was an import I did from Yunnan as part of 50 samples of various flavoured pu erh. The first thing that hit me when I was brewing was the smell. I knew nothing about it when brewing but the smell made me search for it to see exactly what it contains. It's true that this tea does smell like basmati rice, or some sort of unsweetened popcorn. It's not unpleasant nor pleasant just very unusual.
It is also indeed a very dark red despite the 30second steeping time (after the initial pre rinse ritual). Also a note that this tea is ripe and also grade A. (I do have this same combination in raw but I have not yet tried it).
My love for pu erh has grown and grown so this tea has truly stimulated my senses and I am shivering with delight. It's just so unusual…. will it stand up to my expectations?
So far yes it does. This tea is very strong tasting but still light and pleasant. It still tastes like pu erh but similar to the smell there is this ricey tone in the background. You can definitely tell that this is ripe, it smells earthy and thick but still stays mellow. A great example for those trying to tell the difference between ripe and raw. I still have no preference between ripe and raw.
I have roughly two or three cups worth of this left. My mind is blown… all I can think is WOW.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
You replaced the cluster with another one? New or used? Do the gauges not working correspond to the not starting still?
I've got to get offline now, I'm at work. I'll be checking back in periodically and will get back to you just as soon as I can. Please reply to this question rather than opening a new one.
no i did not replace the cluster.how can check it ?
I am in Greece,in Europe and its not easy to get one.
the cluster looks ok, i am not having any help here,the Chrysler-dodge dealers and mechanics dont know a thing.
What about when the cluster is working after vibrations on the street holes?
and i have a manually gauges transmition
the engine is 2,4 l
if you need the vin n. i can get it in 5 seconds
And thanks,sprinkles08 sorry for pushing,i am with out car, a few weeks and no hope for fixing it.
ok thanks,
sorry for the "multi vin", daughter 5+ has involve,
i did all as you said,but no start yet.
so far ,after i conect back the red connector in the cluster,no start,
i horn a few times,and power came to cluster,the alarm set it was lighting and sound,
i turn the key on -of and then the car start working again,normaly.
i check the front lights ok
back no
I came in the car,no intruments power.the engine working.
i horn again =power in cluster,without lights internal.
i swich of,try to start,nothing
i open the door and close ,and power in the cluster.
do you think is the problem?
if is start with tachometer display and power in the cluster,the van dies few times and i have to try again and again untill the alarm set is of. Then the van is working untill i swich of.
if i swich of ,without power in the cluster,no start after and alarm set is on.
no,when i use the key to lock un lock,no difference
an extra alarm system was on the van,wich one the mechanic tooked out.But i had the same problem before and after this.
The van has a lpg system made by NECAM -NETHERLANDS
This i think has nothing to do with our problem,becouse when the van is working even in gas-benzin, or autogas-boutan, is working fine in both fuells.
one minute a go i start the van withOUT the cluster.wipers working good,lights front working good,the tail (back)lights NOT.the alarm set ,sometimes is of, but in a few seconds comes on again.
Ok. If you are still having the same problem with the cluster unplugged and the rear lights don't work you may have a problem with the body control module. This would be best diagnosed in person with a high end or dealer scan tool. It is a pretty complex system, and the body control module is very expensive and non-returnable.
Thanks sprinkles08 ,
i will release your payment to day.
were is located in the van the body control module?
So i can touch and check the connectors and the wires,in order to see if there is a bad connection.
Now the van is working but the cluster comes in function when i drive in street holes
and the "alarm set" is always on. When i start i have to release the clutch (in a second) ,before the auto shut down works. The van jumps/rolls a bit on front and the van is working with the alarm set on.With or whithout the cluster.
please respond asap.
