Tea Review 139 - Naivetea Shan Lin Shi Oolong
Shan Lin Shi Oolong
Here's another light oolong from the oolong specialists at Naivetea. This one, according to their Web site, is from one of the highest altitude farms in central Taiwan. And while I don't know if anything can hold a candle to their Da Yu Ling oolong that I reviewed recently this one comes very close. It's very light and delicate but not at the expense of flavor and there's just a hint of astringency on the finish. Which is actually kind of nice.
Here's what Naivetea has to say about it:
Distinctive mountain essence, sophisticated flavor, notes of fresh flowers and leaves, lingering refined sweetness.
Mouth Feel: Soft with light and smooth body
Aroma: Delicate, fresh flowers
Ingredients: Ching Shin Oolong
Oxidation/Fermentation: Light
Origin: The highest altitude tea farm near the protected forest of Shan Lin Shi, Central Taiwan
Elevation: 1,900 meters/6,233 feet

Tea Review 138 - Naivetea Passion Fruit Oolong
Passion Fruit Oolong
I'm not generally a fan of flavored tea, but there are a few rare exceptions. Black tea paired with flavors such as peach, mango or passionfruit often work for me, as does this blend of passion fruit and oolong, from Naivetea. I don't have a lot to say about it other than the fact that it works. It seems that they started with a good oolong for the base and the passion fruit is flavorful without being overpowering, which is a problem I've noted with a lot of flavored teas.
Here's what Naivetea has to say about this one:
Elegant oolong taste, tropical fruit, fragrant finish, subtly sweet aftertaste.
Mouth Feel: Light and smooth body
Aroma: Exotic passion fruit
Ingredients: Oolong, passion fruit, natural passion fruit extract

Tea Review 137 - Naivetea Da Yu Ling
Da Yu Ling
As I've mentioned before in these pages, my primary interest and focus is on black and green teas. Which doesn't mean that I don't like some of the lighter varieties of oolong but they're not something that I normally seek out. Fortunately, a few oolong samples came my way the other day, thanks to the good people at Naivetea. They do oolong tea exclusively, as they note at their web site:
As the only company in the U.S. to focus specifically on Taiwanese oolong teas, Naivetea works exclusively with the finest small-production tea farmers in Taiwan's renowned tea-growing regions to procure the highest quality tea possible, many of which are otherwise only available in Taiwan and China.
This is the first of the samples I've tried thus far. Obviously, I'd be jumping the gun if I said that it was the best but I'm trying to imagine how you could improve on this and I'm not coming up with any answers. It brews up to a very appealing light golden color and is one of the smoothest, most flavorful oolong teas that I can ever remember sampling.
Here's what Naivetea has to say about it:
Distinctive mountain essence, fresh flower and evergreen notes, lingering refined sweetness.
Mouth Feel: Soft with light, smooth body
Aroma: Delicate, fresh, floral
Ingredients: Ching Shin Oolong
Oxidation/Fermentation: LightOrigin: Da Yu Ling, in one of the highest elevation tea farming areas of Central Taiwan

Tea Review 136 - Le Palais des Thés Bao Zhong Imperial
Bao Zhong Imperial
Le Palais des Thés
Most of the tea I drink is either black or green. I tend to forget about oolong sometimes but then I run across something like Bao Zhong Imperial, by Le Palais des Thés, and I realize that I need to expand my horizons more often. While I'm not very fond of the heavier, more fermented oolongs I do quite like the lighter varieties. Le Palais des Thés claims that this one is about ten percent fermented and it's got a very delicate but pleasant aroma and a flavor to match. While it doesn't quite match up to my favorite green and black teas I'd have no problem drinking it on a regular basis.
Here's what Le Palais des Thés has to say about this one:
This is one of the most celebrated teas from Taiwan. Its name means "wrapped in paper" in Chinese, because the tea is wrapped in white cotton paper before fermentation to preserve the delicacy of its leaves. A beautiful tea with large, twisted leaves that produces a straw-yellow liquor with a flowery, almost peppery taste, it evokes narcissus and jasmine flowers with a perfect blend of green and sweet notes. Should be enjoyed according to the rules of Gong Fu Cha. Low in caffeine.

TeaTotal: A Revolutionary Approach to Making Tea
A Revolutionary Approach to
the Gentle Art of Making Tea
(from a press release)
Technology design and development firm Cambridge Consultants has created a new prototype that brings a sense of theatre to the underdeveloped tea experience to rival that currently enjoyed by coffee drinkers in today's coffee shop culture. With consumer spending now focused on 'little luxuries', the TeaTotal prototype brings a dynamic experience to the customer who loves tea. It allows for personalisation according to taste, and brews the 'perfect cup' in half the time of the standard tea process, maximising revenue for the retailer.
TeaTotal is a fully programmable tea brewing device, allowing the consumer to specify not only the leaf, but also the intensity of the tea flavour and the relative bitterness. Cambridge Consultants' design team was able to identify the independent variables that impact flavour, and how to separately manipulate them to deliver each consumer's ideal cup. Moreover, while a standard tea process brews tea in roughly four minutes, TeaTotal only takes around two minutes, creating faster throughput in a retail setting. The prototype has been designed to use loose leaf tea and the theatrical brewing pot fills with water, swirling the leaves around and steeping until the tea is poured into a cup and the spent leaves are ejected, all highly visible to the expectant consumer

I can't believe how pretentious or self-important my Uncle Hilbert from England is. He thinks he's the world authority on English literature but is constantly misquoting lines and mixing up authors, during which time he has his nose in the air in his pretentious and snobby way. I remember one day I told this pretentious person who thought he was so great that most of the time he's wrong about what he says, and he brushed me off, saying that I was just a little pipsqueak.
Quiz: What is someone like who is pretentious?
- He showily claims that he is really great at something.
- He knows a lot about a subject.
- He has certain peculiarities because he is from a different country.

Pho the Love of Vegan
9021Pho does vegan right
I had driven by 9021Pho a number of times in Westlake Village, each time wondering whether it was worth a stop (or whether there would be vegan options available). Then one night my dad mentioned a pho craving and asked if I wanted to try the place out. I can't believe I waited so long!
Once you get passed the cheesy name, there is a lot to like about this place. Not only does 9021Pho have a variety of vegan options, but they also have a nice variety of full leaf teas (love!) which one can partake of during their daily tea AND alcohol happy hour. The white tea, which I tried on my first visit, has a natural sweetness and delicate flavor, making it my favorite so far. The tea is served in lovely glass pots over a candle to keep the tea warm throughout your meal.
The ambiance of 9021Pho is like an upscale noodle bar and café. Classic jazzy music (another of my faves) permeates and sets a mood of upbeat relaxation. As I turned each page on the menu I grew more excited by the options. First, with the appetizers: we tried the vegan crispy spring rolls and vegan postickers. Each comes with a dipping sauce–a sweet chili sauce for the spring rolls, and a rich hoisin and tamarind type sauce for the pot stickers. Both were great, but I'd have to say the pot stickers, with their unique filling of pureed yucca and mushrooms, won me over. You can also order the vegan sampler, which comes with both of the above plus crispy mock chicken.
For my entrée I of course tried the vegan pho, called Pho Chay. This generously sized soup was filled with fresh vegetables, including bok choy, mushrooms, baby corn, and carrots, plus tofu. But what really won me over was the vegetable broth. I am used to most veggie broths tasting pretty much the same, so I was blown away by the complexity and lightness of this version. There was a slight sweetness, a distinct freshness (enhanced by the fresh lime and basil served on the side), and wonderful complement of flavors that I wish I could identify in this soup. It was love at first Pho. (Sorry, had to do it). The best part was that the serving was so large I had plenty to take home for leftovers, which were just as good—if not better—than the night of.
Dessert was coconut sorbet, and despite usually avoiding sugar I couldn't resist. It was rich and filled with tantalizing chunks of coconut, and best of all it was served in a half coconut shell! The mango sorbet was served in half a mango skin. Nice touch. I appreciate attention to detail and presentation, especially when the taste lives up to the look. However, if you are trying to avoid processed sugar, I would say stay away from the dessert menu.
I can't speak for the meat options at this restaurant, but I will vouch for the tastiness of the vegan options. I've seen yelp reviews about 9021pho that complain it isn't 'authentic' Vietnamese. To me, if something tastes wonderful and healthy, I don't care whether it is classified as authentic anything (as long as its vegan!). Besides, who is to say what is and what is not authentic in our widely mixed cultures. The owner and head chef of 9021Pho is Vietnamese and grew up in Vietnam, so I'm guessing she knows a thing or two about Vietnamese cuisine. I for one am quite happy with her culinary interpretations.
There are other vegan options on the menu as well, including salads, curries, and noodle dishes. So far I've tried the tamarind tossed salad and Vietnamese Curry with vegan chicken. Both were fresh, healthy dishes with nice flavor, but just not as unique and exciting as the pho. Besides, I'm not typically a big fan of fake meat unless it is REALLY good. I'll be sticking with the classics at this place.
In fact, I've been back three times since my first visit (which was only about 2 months ago). I even chose to go here for my birthday. I can tell it's going to be one of my regular favorites, whether there is a chill in the air, a rumble in my tummy, or I know I'm going to want the leftovers the next morning—even vegan pho can be a great hangover cure…not that I know from experience. 😉
9021Pho, located in Westlake Village, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, and Glendale
* Great selection of vegan options (plus non-vegan for friends who like the more traditional meaty pho). Bonus: Noodles are gluten-free
*Very fresh and light, seems healthy without too much salt or oil
*Pleasant ambiance and friendly wait staff
*Tea happy hour!
*May be perceived as slightly pricey as pho goes (just under $10), but you will likely have decent leftovers, and the quality/flavor of the food is worth it in my opinion.
*Not a fully vegan restaurant (for those who prefer not to eat in places that serve meat)
If you love pho, or have never tried it but want to be a bit adventurous, this is the place to go! Even my Midwestern mom, who things black pepper = spicy, loved her chicken pho. A fun, casual place to grab lunch or dinner, and even to celebrate special occasions. This may not be your hole in the wall pho place, but how many of those are vegan-friendly??
Individual food item reviews:
Vegan spring rolls: These bite-sized crispy fried rolls are definitely a treat, but I was not completely won over on their flavor. I tend to be less than enthused by most deep fried foods (which I am assuming these were), even if they are vegan. A good all around crowd-pleaser, just not my favorite.
Health: 2.5 out of 5 (because fried, fake meat)
Taste: 3.5/5 (though I know others who absolutely love these)
Vegan won tons: I know these are not much healthier than fried spring rolls, but these little dumpling like won tons are boiled, so the vegetable flavor comes through in a cleaner, more satisfying way. One of my preferred appetizers!
Health: 3/5
Taste: 4/5
Pho Chay: A unique vegetable pho that packs a lot of flavor without seeming heavy or overly seasoned. A wonderful balance of freshness and warmth. Good for what ails you. Addictive!
Health: 4/5 (based on what I can gather from ingredients)
Taste: 5/5
Coconut sorbet: Creamy and smooth, with chunks of coconut and a strong, natural coconut flavor. I'm sure there is a lot of sugar in this sorbet, but it didn't taste overly sweet—the sweetness was well balanced with the creaminess.
Health: 1/5 (I'm assuming high concentration of refined sugar)
Taste: 4/5
Tamarind tossed salad: This is a great option if you are looking for something light or to share as an appetizer. It was less exciting than expected, with mostly lettuce and a few other veggies. The dressing was decent but a bit sweet for my taste (I'm not a big fan of sweet vinaigrettes either). This would not be my first choice for a meal.
Health: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Vietnamese Curry with fake chicken: Again, not a bad choice if you are into a more mild, light stir-fry. The curry sauce has a nice flavor but is not memorable. I did like that the curry didn't seem overly oily or processed. Other than the fake chicken (which was tasty but not necessarily healthy) I'd say this is a fairly healthy dish, but not very memorable.
Health: 3/5
Taste: 3/5

How do you normally spend you weekend? With the temperatures soaring, I'm spending more time wandering outdoors. Since Georgetown is on my home from work, I end up walking the streets almost every week.
I styled a sleeveless turtleneck dress with my tie-dye kimono I picked up at the end of season sale last year. The dark denim color contrasted with my white and baby blue Perverse sunglasses.
My final touch with the flux in temperatures were my thigh-high socks that kept sliding down my legs. Remember to always make sure there's an elastic component on top!
Sunglasses: Perverse.
Cardigan: Akira.
Dress: Young Hungry Free.
Socks: Topshop.
Sneakers: FENTY x Puma Creepers.


text: As promised, I will try to regularly upload and share my experiences to whoever is reading this or watching my videos, so here's the first part of my trip top Taipei last week! Why day "1.5"? Well, technically, I arrived late at night so I basically started my whole day after I slept

Patio Heaters
Popular in restaurants and hotels, patio heaters typically come in either freestanding or tabletop and in either natural gas or liquid propane. A freestanding heater will be easy to move and will be a plus if you are decorating your outdoor space. A liquid propane patio heater is portable, whereas a natural gas patio heater is restricted by the length of your natural gas hose. As you can see by the picture above, liquid propane patio heaters usually come with a storage compartment built-in to the heater itself – for aesthetic purposes. Sunglo, Patiocomfort, and LAVA Heat are our top picks.
If you have a backyard, an open firepit heater may be the best route to go; a firepit will replicate that feeling of being up in the mountains, and being one with nature. Browse one of our textured firepits or firebowls, and enjoy knowing that natural aging will affect the color over time and make your fire feature uniquely your own.
Electric Heaters
Due to its ability to blend in to spaces, the wall mounted patio heater is very popular. In just 27 seconds, infrared heating will warm you up. You can choose to either mount in on an exterior wall, or mount it on a stand. Our favourite wall mounted patio heaters are UFO and Bromic Heating.
Patio heaters have become increasingly popular in recent years, following the trend of bars and restaurants to have heaters to extend the summer season and enable customers to eat or drink. However, patio heaters are no longer just found in restaurants and pubs. With the increase of knowledge dissemination and the highly favorable benefits of owning such machinery, many home owners are now jumping into this arena.
Indeed patio heaters are great for cool nights during the fall and winter; but what about those cool summer nights? Normally, a patio heater can warm up to a 15 foot radius by up to fifteen degrees.
Patio heaters aren't affected by wind, though wind chill can still affect people in its path.
Choosing A Heater
When choosing a patio heater, it is best to survey the area where your heater will be placed. Patio heaters come in versions that can be wall mounted, free standing or set in the middle of a table.
The place or kind of space where your heater will be located will greatly affect the kind of heater you will decide to get. Find a location for the heater that's right for you. If you have pets or young children, a wall heater minimizes safety concerns. Electric heaters are convenient and inexpensive to run and pose no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, but placement of these units is somewhat limited, because they need to be plugged into an outlet. Propane heaters provide heat without the inconvenience of having to be near an outlet.
We carry freestanding heaters, table top heaters, open firepits, firetables, and wall mounted heaters from brands such as UFO, Bromic Heating, LAVA Heat, Napoleon, American Fyre and Sticks + Stones.

Are you looking for gift ideas? If so, I've assembled some items by price category that I've bought and used. I've tried to keep the ideas practical and have intentionally omitted things like gift certificates or other soft goods.
Listing of Product & Service Reviews
This section covers product and service reviews. They fall into 4 broad areas: Health, hardware, service and software reviews. You will see everything from file transfer services to hardware vendors.
You can further filter your results by clicking on the tag links below each item. At the bottom of each page, you'll find prev and next buttons.
One Simple Way to Send Large Files for Free
Sooner or later it's going to happen. You'll need to send a large file to someone via email, but you'll get an error because your attachment exceeds the limit set by your email provider. Maybe it's a video file or a series of photos. In these scenarios, it's good to know how easy it is to send large files for free with WeTransfer. It's frustration-free file transfers.
Expand Your Opportunities in 15 Minutes with Blinkist Summaries
These days, it's tough staying current with information particularly at the rate at which it's produced. I'm sure we've all felt like we're falling behind. To gain a competitive advantage, our job or class work demands we read more books, technical papers and trade journals. It doesn't seem fair that the amount of information we're supposed to know has exploded, yet we still have the same number of hours in a day. Blinkist can help.
Gift Giving Ideas & Investing In Yourself
As the holidays approach, I'm getting requests from readers for gift ideas. Instead of doing one-off replies, I thought I would publicly answer. Most people probably expect me to answer with some sort of cool gadget or tech toys. But sometimes the best gifts are the ones that better you. And I've got three recommendations, but one is expiring.
One Way to Stay Calm in a Crazy World
Calm is a mindfulness app that introduces you to meditation through a wide variety of audio programs and guides. The service is available through the web or a dedicated app for Android and iOS. Additional programs and features are available for paid subscriptions.
Newfound Joys of a Solid State Hard Drive
SSD got my interest several years ago when my web host started switching from traditional hard disk drives (HDD) to the newer solid state drives. Despite the expense, they realized the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. There were 4 benefits I could see by switching. Overall, the project took less than an hour if you exclude the cloning time.
Unique Music Service to Help You Focus
Have you ever had one of those days where you couldn't remember what you just read? Or, you find yourself working longer, but your productivity is declining. There are many reasons why we're not effective. Currently, I've been bombarded by distracting construction noise. It's not easy to control your work environment, but one helpful service I found is called Focus@Will.
Finding Big Ideas with Philosophers Notes
Today, many of us are time-starved. We have too many things to do coupled with too many distractions. This can be a hindrance to learning. It's at these times that we look for solutions that help us stay even or ahead. One problem area for me was reading. I didn't want to give it up, but I felt like I didn't always have time to complete a book, let alone process it.
Snagit Software Captures Screens & Your Imagination
Snagit is an exceptional and reasonably priced screen capture program that works on both Windows and Mac. It fits the sweet spot between simple graphic programs that don't allow enough features and very expensive programs that add overhead and expense.
Easily Track Your Lost Stuff with Tile
Have you ever experienced the frustration of losing your keys and spending precious time looking for them? Instead of getting stressed, try one of these new Tile devices. They are small enough to fit on your key ring and communicate location information to your smart phone.

All Good Things Must End
With that cliché in mind, you knew the market's recent winning streak would eventually end, which it did on Friday when all three major indices finished in the red. This marked the first time since April 6th that the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMPX), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX) had made a weekly sojourn to the nether regions.
Traders were sent shuffling towards the exits on Friday after a triumvirate of economic releases warned that the halcyon days of interest rate cuts might be over.
First, it was reported that American consumers haven't lost their lust for spending, despite rising layoffs and stock portfolio losses. According to the Commerce Department, retail sales gained 0.8 percent in April, which easily trumped the consensus forecast for a slim increase of 0.1 percent. Much of the gain could be attributable to the every-rising price of gasoline, which, on average, is fetching $1.70 a gallon these days.
Then, the University of Michigan reported that its preliminary gauge of consumer sentiment rose to 92.6 in May from 88.4, which topped forecasts and brought the index to its highest levels since January.
Finally, another government report showed that the Producer Price Index (PPI), which measures prices at the wholesale level, gained 0.3 percent in April. However, the core PPI (PPI sans food and energy) advanced a modest 0.2 percent, which effectively means that prices at the producer level are standing pat.
At first glance, this latest slate of economic data releases would appear bullish. However, the market is still concerned about a recession. What's more, it's counting on the Federal Reserve to continue cutting interest rates to prevent one. Friday's reports raised fears that the Fed might not be so aggressive when it meets next Tuesday, which prompted the selling.
For the day, the COMPX was nicked for 21.43 points, or 1.01 percent, to close at 2,107.43, its lowest finish since April 27. The tech-laden index was pressured by two of its heaviest hitters: chip giant Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) finished off $1.07 at $27.94, and software king Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) eased $0.60 to $69.40.
As for the Old-Economy, the INDU fell 89.13 points, or 0.82 percent, to end at 10,821.31. Among the hardest hit were the INDU's cyclical shares: Alcoa (NYSE:AA), J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM), International Paper (NYSE:IP), General Motors (NYSE:GM) and DuPont (NYSE:DD) were all victims of profit takers on Friday.
As for the broader market, the SPX lost 9.51 points, or 0.76 percent, to finish at 1,245.67, its lowest close since April 26.
Traders could take some solace knowing few of them were sprinting towards the exit. Only 894 million shares traded on the NSYE, which is the fewest since December 26, while only 1.40 billion shares changed hands on the Nasdaq, its lightest day of the year. Light volume is consider a positive sign when market breadth negative.
For the week, the COMPX declined 3.8 percent, the SPX 1.7 percent and the Dow 1.2 percent. But let's keep our perspective. Since hitting its recent low of 1638.8 on April 4, the COMPX is up 30 percent. The INDU has climbed 16 percent since its recent trough on March 22, while the SPX has advanced 14 percent from its April 4 low.
In stock news on Friday, Vince McMahon's bad-taste and nepotism ridden World Wrestling Federation Entertainment (NYSE:WWF) gained $1.04 to $14.19 after it folded the XFL football league less than a month after its first season ended. The WWF said the league, which it co-owned with NBC television, will post a loss of about $35 million. (I can only wonder what my favorite XFL player, He Hate Me, will do for employment since his skills aren't quite up to NFL standards.)
In Splittrader.com stock news, our Current Play list bucked the selling trend once again by advancing 6.7 percent for the week. We posted strong gains in Cross Timbers Oil (NYSE:XTO), Allegheny Energy (NYSE:AYE) and H&R Block (NYSE:HRB). Advances in these three stocks were more than enough to offset losses in Williams Sonoma (NYSE:WSM) and Lear Corp. (NYSE:LEA).
Cross Timbers Oil, in particular, might be of interest to traders. We've also been enamored of stocks displaying chart patterns showing higher lows while following a longer-term positive trend. One caveat on Cross Timbers, though, it looks like it might run into near-term resistance at $28.00, which is one reason we raised our stop this weekend to $27.00. (Like most traders, we hate to give back gains, which is why the stop is so tight.)
Switching to the credit markets, government bond issues were again hard hit Friday, as investors were spooked by the stronger- than-expected retail sales report and higher consumer confidence figures. The 10-year Treasury note tumbled 1 13/32 to yield 5.49 percent while the 30-year government bond slumped 1 18/32 to yield 5.88 percent. The long bond now is at its highest yield in six months.
Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting set for Tuesday will undoubtedly be the main attraction this week. Traders generally anticipate another half-percentage point cut at Tuesday's meeting, which means a reduction in the fed funds rate to 4 percent.
As of Friday, the fed funds futures rate was priced to average 4.08 percent in June, which implies a 60 percent chance of a 50 basis point interest rate cut coming from Tuesday's FOMC meeting. However, this is down significantly from a 90 percent chance only two weeks. In other words, a half-point cut isn't a slam-dunk.
In addition to the Fed, traders will have to sort through a new set of economic date releases. Business inventories, industrial production and capacity utilization commence the week's major economic data on Monday. The market consensus is calling for business inventories to have fallen 0.2 percent in March, following February's 0.2 percent decline. Industrial production is also expected to have declined 0.2 percent, off that amount for the month of April, and off sharply from a 0.4 percent increase in March. Capacity utilization, a measure of plant usage, is expected to have increased 79.1 percent in April, from 79.4 percent in March.
On Wednesday, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and core CPI is scheduled for release. The CPI is expected to have risen 0.4 percent in April, up from a 0.1 percent increase in the previous month. Meanwhile, core CPI is expected to have climbed 0.2 percent for the month, unchanged from its gain in March.
On Thursday, the Leading Economic Indicators are scheduled for release. The LEI is forecasted to have advanced 0.1 percent in April, up sharply from a 0.3 decline in the prior month.
Closing out the week on Friday are the U.S. trade balance of goods and services and the U.S. monthly budget statement. The U.S. trade gap is expected to have widened to a deficit of $29.0 billion in March, up from a $27.0 billion deficit in February, while the U.S. budget for the month of April is forecasted to show a surplus of $180 billion.
On the earnings docket, retailers, many of whom rallied on April's unexpectedly strong sales figures, will take center stage. K-Mart (NYSE:KM), the Gap (NYSE:GPS) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) are all scheduled to announce quarterly results. In technology, Dell (NYSE:DELL), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP) and Ciena (Nasdaq:CIEN) will post their earnings.
As for trading this week, don't expect much action ahead of Tuesday's FOMC meeting. After the meeting, though, it's a different story. I expect the markets to experience mild selling pressure should the Fed announce a 50 basis point cut and severe selling pressure should it announce a 25 basis point cut. However, once the initial reaction wears off, I think the markets will stabilize, which could mean more range-bound trading.
To that end, the COMPX is bound between 2000 support and 2250 resistance. For the INDU, the range is 10,600 to 11,000. A close above 11,000 would be extremely bullish for the INDU because it has tried numerous times over the past eight months to breach 11,000. On the flipside, a close below 10,600 would be bearish because that would mean we are looking at 10,300 again.
Over the past month, traders have gone from worrying about a weakening economy to a strengthening economy. The new outlook was apparent in the bullish reaction to the sharp rise in the April jobless rate reported recently and the bearish response to the seemingly encouraging economic news on Friday.
This schizophrenic behavior is downright silly; a growing economy is good, particularly a growing economy with little inflationary pressures outside of energy. The fact is, retailers are improving, the number of jobless claims is shrinking and the Fed is meeting next week to most likely cut rates.
When the Fed ends its damage control mode, that could mean that the economy is indeed strengthening, which means corporate profits will soon be expanding. So you might think twice about unloading the portfolio if the Fed cuts rates by only 25 basis points. That could be the signal the Fed's job is over and that the economy will soon be hitting on all cylinders again.
S.P. Brown
Investors have gotten used to aggressive easing actions by the Fed, which has taken down short rates by two full percentage points so far this year, and don't like the prospect of an end to the rate cuts.

A number of studies, including one out of Stanford earlier this year, have established that an organisation's culture tends to reflect the personality of its CEO and this can have a significant impact on firm-wide performance.
For good or ill.
This article from Fast Company, shows four ways that CEOs can inadvertently antagonise their employees and throw their company's culture off kilter.
Most CEOs like to make sure everything is just right, but they're very busy people with a lot on their plates. Often without meaning to, some CEOs turn to micromanaging their employees, making managers' working lives a nightmare. There comes a time when CEOs have to trust their teams to do tasks the right way—and to give them space to breathe. A CEO that can't strike the right balance risks creating a suffocating culture.
CEOs need a steady hand. When they don't, employees are quick to notice if there's no clear theme or motive driving their leader's decisions, which tanks productivity and leads to unrest. CEOs often see their companies change rapidly and seldom intend to be so inconsistent, but it's a culture killer nonetheless. They have to be able to communicate clearly with their team in order for everyone to stay on the same page. When core assumptions change, it's up to the CEO to make their team aware of it.
Matt Stanton, co-founder of SolePower, tells me: "It's so difficult to see an otherwise good CEO make inconsistent decisions. At best, it hurts culture, and at worst, it needlessly keeps their team frightened and on edge. Just like almost any other problem, it can be fixed through clearer communication. It's such a shame to see it happen because it can be avoided so easily."
Outsourcing can be a great help by allowing companies to focus in on what they do while saving time and money in other areas. In terms of company culture, though, outsourcing can have some long-term effects that CEOs want to avoid. Establishing a strong team is crucial to the efficiency and growth of any business, and outsourcing too much makes it difficult to create that team and keep it intact. Instead, investing in building the right people to help them grow with the company is an excellent alternative.
In an ideal workplace, a CEO is highly protective of their team—and for good reason. A good team is essentially a family that creates an amazing culture where everyone's skills are valued and put to optimal use. In some cases, though, a CEO's protectiveness over that unit can go too far, making it tough for newer employees to really feel like they can settle in. Sometimes CEOs unwittingly create an in-group and an out-group, and newcomers can feel excluded right at the time they most want to make their mark.

Here's the recipe:
- 1 copy Photoshop CS3
- 1 ea Screen Capture
- 1 ea ALT-Splash Screen
- 1 ea My article at Designorati.com for display samples and the article at Photoshop News for more detailed illustrations.
- Open the Designorati and Photoshop News articles. Set them aside for reference.
- Fire up Adobe Photoshop CS3
- After PSCS3 is running, get the "ALT-Splash" screen (containing the development code name, Adobe Red Pill, by (on your Mac) holding down the ALT and CMD Keys whilst clicking Menu Bar>Photoshop>About Photoshop...
- Take a screenshot (either Shift-CMD-3 or Shift-CMD-4).
- Load the Screenshot into PSCS3 (which should still be open).
- Fiddle with the input white point and black point as described in the articles. Shifting the input black point all the way right will show you a memorial tribute piccy of Bruce Fraser by the red pill; shifting the input white point all the way to the left will show you the kitty's pawprints in the black area where the credits are.
- Smile.

Before class, Mark Reitman is brainstorming marketing taglines for Hot Dog University, the two-day training program for aspiring Chicago-style hot dog cart and stand owners that he founded five years ago.
"How about this: 'The nation's college for encased meat knowledge'?" he asks. "Nah, not tasty enough."
This course on franks combines tips on marketing and purchasing with practical training on the North Side, at a hot dog cart outside the Vienna Beef factory, which has partnered with the school. Among other secrets, students learn to heat dogs to no higher than 150 degrees to prevent a rubbery texture, and that all utensils should be red or yellow, to evoke toppings.
The class begins, and the 25 students take their seats. Since Reitman opened his doors, the student body has grown from 18 his first year to an expected 140 this year. One student is Peter Lin, who plans to set up a cart in Philadelphia, where there's an abundance of cheesesteak but few Chicago-style dogs. He works for a company that makes equipment for the pharmaceutical industry; it saw business drop by 50 percent last year.
"I feel like I have to diversify," he says.
Then there are some students who are simply big fans of the frank.
"It's a fun business," whispers Steve, who is diligently taking notes in his spiral-bound notebook. His day job is in asphalt. "People are generally in a good mood when they're around food, and what's more fun than a frank?"
Student Julie Dyne takes a big bite of a dog loaded with onions, mustard, hot peppers and neon green relish. The course requires a student to eat a dangerous amount of dogs, but Dyne is philosophical.
"I'm having a salad," she says. "I'm putting lots of relish on it."

The Yellow Knights...Posted by Vinodh at 10:58 PM
The Yellow KnightsMore Pics @:http://picasaweb.google.com/
We were a crazy-running bunch,
hanging out for a quick brunch..
until Sensei taught us to reverse-punch.
We learnt to block hard,
None can attack us off-guard..
Our own knife-hand-strike
- as mighty as a shark-bite!!
Mae-Giri, the front kick..
is not a simple trick..
You gotta be double-quick
and yet be as smooth as Indian-Silk
Kata - is it a dance or a fight?
With all its grace is an elegant sight
We did it right with a GI - white
and became Yellow-knight..
Arigato Sensei..
And Yeah.... Kiiiiah!!!

The game was developed by Telltale Games.The Walking Dead's release date was first planned to be set in the last months of 2011 but due to the production and development of the project, the game was delayed to until early 2012. The game will consist of five episodes, with the first episode released on 24th April 2012. Kirkman has said that, unlike typical zombie games such as Left 4 Dead, it will focus more on characterization and emotion than action. The game will feature cross-genre of both adventure and action, in which, like in the previous Telltale titles, the player must make use of inventory items and environment, however, unlike in them, the played characters will have limited time to do so and could die in the process. The game is told from the point of view of a new character named Lee Everett, who …

BRIGHT LIGHT BEYOND THE BOURNEBy Neil Bezaire
"I shot luminous stardust into space with you in mind. You! With your greed, your lust, your rage, your killing fields, You! So full of compassion and love, and listener of Puccini arias. I fashioned you to dance, stumble and Rise again and dance towards the light"
Gone the gloom of night. Above the swells bright sails approach. My beating heart expands and I open wide my trembling arms for The Light beyond the Bourne

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will not rush through a Supreme Court choice to replace Justice Antonin Scalia this week but will wait to nominate a candidate until the U.S. Senate is back in session, the White House said on Sunday.
"Given that the Senate is currently in recess, we don't expect the president to rush this through this week, but instead will do so in due time once the Senate returns from their recess," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said.
"At that point, we expect the Senate to consider that nominee, consistent with their responsibilities laid out in the United States Constitution," he said.
Obama is traveling in California and returns to Washington on Tuesday. The Senate returns from recess on Feb. 22.
Making a recess appointment would have been extremely controversial.
The White House declined to give a more specific timeline for Obama to announce his nominee.
For his previous two Supreme Court picks, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, the president took about 30 days each to announce his selection after their predecessors, Justice John Paul Stevens and Justice David Souter, respectively, said they planned to step down.
In remarks honoring Scalia on Saturday, Obama made clear he would not succumb to pressure from Republicans to leave the selection of a new justice to his successor.
The president, who leaves office in January 2017, said he would make his choice in due time.
"These are responsibilities that I take seriously, as should everyone. They're bigger than any one party. They are about our democracy," he said. "They're about the institution to which Justice Scalia dedicated his professional life, and making sure it continues to function as the beacon of justice that our founders envisioned."
Scalia's death and the upcoming fight over his replacement gives the White House an unexpected shot at shifting the balance of power on the Supreme Court in what would be a legacy-defining act during his last year in office. It also keeps the president from slipping quickly into "lame duck" status during an election year.
White House officials are unlikely to drag out the process of announcing Obama's choice.
"They should move with dispatch," said David Axelrod, Obama's former senior adviser.
To rebut Republican arguments, the White House points to a host of previous Supreme Court nominees who have received speedy hearings and votes regardless of which party had control in Congress.

My 20 yr. old son, Tom, was officially diagnosed with RR MS in Feb. 2012. I had always suspected a problem because of horrific nose bleeds, headaches and eye sensitivity before 2 yr.s of age.

IFFBoston 2012: Your Sister's Sister3 June 2012, 6:47 am
I liked writer/director Lynn Shelton's previous feature Humpday and I'm a pretty big fan of the loose assemblage of talented writers, directors, and actors that has unfortunately been labeled "mumblecore." On balance I liked Your Sister's Sister — it was funny, and fun to watch; Rosemarie DeWitt was particularly good in it. But I thought it was seriously marred by a few very conventional romcom setpieces. On the plus side, bicycle scenes featured helmets.

Starting a business is hard, but marketing it is even harder.
In the past, a lot of start-ups rely on word-of-mouth in trying to spread the news about their business. This is because years ago, marketing to a wider audience is expensive since the only available channels before were limited to traditional media — television, radio, and print.
Today, however, it's a different story. With modern technology, a lot of entrepreneurs are able to tap into the power of the Internet. Easily, businesses of all sorts can market their businesses to bigger audiences and even transact and earn online.
In a click, businesses can now be seen by hundreds, even thousands, of people. On the other hand, while it seems everything is easier now, there's still one important thing a lot of startups fail to do in marketing online: optimization.
Despite the times, not a lot of Filipinos have in-depth knowledge of digital marketing. While some know how to market online, not everyone is able to maximize its potential. This makes it a struggle to look for highly skilled digital marketers, who can drive success for businesses.
The rarity of digital marketers in the Philippines means hiring one can be costly. Thus, as entrepreneurs, learning the skill yourself allows you to productively maneuver your marketing efforts and produce better results for your business.
One way of starting off your digital marketing journey is learning how to use Google AdWords and Google Analytics. These are two of the most widely used platforms by digital marketers today and mastery of both can help you reap gains for your business.
With Google AdWords, you can advertise based on your business model and build your brand all at the same time. You can publish different ads like text, display, or video ads on Google networks like search engines, other websites, mobile apps and even Youtube.
On another note, using Google Analytics helps you measure your reach, allowing you to analyze which audiences are likely to make conversions and remarket to them. It also helps you discover other potential markets and streamline advertising to them.
Using these two platforms, you can set your own marketing budget and work out the wisest strategy that best meets your goals. In this way, you can allocate your resources to other facets of the business that need it.
Unlike marketing in traditional media, using Google AdWords and Google Analytics also allow you to measure your successes in advertising online. These platforms collect data and provide statistical data, which you can use to formulate better strategies that will boost the bottom line.
No matter what your trade is, knowing digital marketing helps you gain a competitive edge, even in very saturated industries. Having the knowledge to advertise online and optimize the use of your Internet-based resources definitely goes a long way for both you and your business.
In Cavalry Digital, our mission is to hasten the digital transformation of Filipino businesses, and fulfilling that goal involves making sure that entrepreneurs are ready for it. This is what MADwords: A Review Program for Google AdWords and Analytics Certification Exam.
Through MADwords, entrepreneurs can learn digital marketing in just two weeks. We craft our programs to make sure that every lesson delivered sticks and that you have the digital marketing knowledge you need for the real-life challenges of starting your own business.

- As Family We Go- Rend Collective
Product Description
The highly anticipated new studio album from Northern Ireland's Rend Collective that nearly "broke the internet" with excitement.
As Family We Go CD follows the phenomenal success of "Campfire" and "The Art of Celebration" . Rend Collective Experiment are a Northern Irish 15 piece Christian folk worship band passionate about celebration!
As Family We Go celebrates the all encompassing, father-heart of God from the get go with single "You Will Never Run Away".
The 11 tracks take listeners on a journey of discovering more about being one church family- stemming from the band's love of travelling as a family and feeling that they are "not so much a band but a family" and more importantly recognising the sense of belonging that comes from being a child of God. The charge of which is to share His love with the world.
Not one to shy away from reality and sometimes the gritty, leading up to the eagerly anticipated release the band asked fans to share their stories of family; the loving, the heartbreaking and the joyful. The album poignantly reflects all aspects of family life and a journey well travelled.
Rend collective, who since their formation, have gone on to be leading voices in the evolution of modern worship are self-described as a "group of confused twenty-somethings trying to figure out faith, life, God and community"- this could not be clearer in their new album which seeks to foster love, community and journeying as a family.
The upbeat tempo, catchy rhythm and powerful lyrics ensure this will be another best selling, not to be missed album.

Donald Trump will meet with top business leaders Friday morning to discuss business issues ranging from taxes to regulation. But it's his curious picks for advice on women in the workforce that have drawn critics' attention.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and EY CEO Mark Weinberger are the headliners for a discussion on women's workplace issues, according to the Wall Street Journal. There is no context offered for why McMillon and Weinberger were selected. EY has been a leader in the financial sector on issues like generous paid parental leave policies and other perks for male and female employees.
Meanwhile, women leaders will discuss other business issues with Trump, including General Motors CEO Mary Barra, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, and Pepsi Co. CEO Indra Nooyi.
This comes as Trump is under fire for reportedly telling female staffers they need to "dress like women" in the White House, according to Axios, a new politics website.

London the first place to get a high Education
Several Italian students are so attracted by the idea of studying abroad. Why? What a rhetorical question, they want only to enjoy a new experience, getting a high Education. London and Paris are the ideal accademic locations for Erasmus Students coming from all over the world. Sara, 20 years old, a venetian student said : "London is absolutely amazing!As Erasmus Students, we are year to get a high Education in Economics and not just for fun. We like parties but we are also here for studying". The London School of Economics is one the most famous University in Europe and to be enrolled students have to pass a strict test about a wide range of subects ranging from Economics, Law and Local history. Moreover, once they graduated they would have the oppurtunity to enter the job market with a very high qualification in Economic and Law! London is not only a melting-pot city with Museums and Classic Music performences to see and enjoy but it is the ideal place to get a qualification for life!

The art of (seemingly) random is alive and well as the Library of Congress has named this year's archival selections for the National Film Registry.
The 25 motion pictures chosen for "cultural preservation" this year span several decades and include many different genres, from 1897's "The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Title Fight" to the game-changing 1999 sci-fi action flick, "The Matrix."
Other notable inclusions this year include Clint Eastwood's highly influential ode to angry '70s-era vigilantism, "Dirty Harry"; Richard Linklater's 1991 indie-cool valentine to Austin, Texas, "Slacker"; and at least a few people's all-time favorite holiday movie, "A Christmas Story." Penny Marshall's feel-good 1992 sports drama, "A League of Their Own," and Monte Hellman's minimalist "Easy Rider"-inspired 1971 road movie, "Two-Lane Blacktop," are also on the list.
So what does the National Film Registry do, exactly? They're basically creating a sort of cultural and historical timeline with cinema, choosing the films that best represent who and where we are at any given time. These aren't necessarily all "great" films, though they have all been deemed "significant."
"These films are not selected as the 'best' American films of all time, but rather as works of enduring importance to American culture," said Librarian of Congress James H. Billington. "They reflect who we are as a people and as a nation."
There are now 600 films within the National Film Registry, spanning from 1897-1999. All titles will be preserved either through the Library's motion picture preservation program or via other archives, studios and independent filmmakers.
The 25 selections for 2012 are as follows:
"3:10 to Yuma" (1957)
"Anatomy of a Murder" (1959)
"The Augustas" (1930s-1950s)
"Born Yesterday" (1950)
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961)
"A Christmas Story" (1983)
"The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Title Fight" (1897)
"Dirty Harry" (1971)
"Hours For Jerome: Parts 1 and 2" (1980-82)
"The Kidnappers Foil" (1930s-1950s)
"Kodachrome Color Motion Picture Tests" (1922)
"A League of Their Own" (1992)
"The Matrix" (1999)
"The Middleton Family at the New York World's Fair" (1939)
"One Survivor Remembers" (1995)
"Parable" (1964)
"Samsara: Death and Rebirth in Cambodia" (1990)
"Slacker" (1991)
"Sons of the Desert" (1933)
"The Spook Who Sat by the Door" (1973)
"They Call It Pro Football" (1967)
"The Times of Harvey Milk" (1984)
"Two-Lane Blacktop" (1971)
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" (1914)
"The Wishing Ring; An Idyll of Old England" (1914)
