Black's- Am I missing any?
Help me out tea people!! as most everyone here, I'm on a mission to try all the different tea types. and despite my challenges, I think I've made it through most of the Black/Red teas. Can anyone tell me which ones I am missing? I mean, sure there are varieties within each level of tea but I'm talking about the generic regional standards.
So here is what I have tried, off the top of my head:
Lapsang Souchong
Golden Monkey
Earl Grey and Chai (honourable mentions. I know they aren't regional!)
I think there are a few outliers. I've yet to try anything from Nepal for instance.
Anyhow, whatever you can suggest would be much appreciated!! thanks! xx
what about africa?
oh jeeze, I don't even know where to begin searching!
I think I've had one from Kenya. Milima I think it was. Actually, I should add that one to my list!!
thanks for the suggestion Taite :)
Black teas by area grown?
Nilgiri (of the Tamil Nadu state)
Arunachal Pradesh state (delicious)
Hunan province (mmm)
Henan province just recently began producing black tea as well, I believe.
North Carolina (still operating, I believe?)
Washington (can only get it locally, I think)
Taiwan's Sun-Moon Lake (in Nantou)
Vietnam, Ha Giang province (and others; don't know how many of those produce black, however)
Tregothnan Estate, England (I believe their single-estate tea is quite pricey, otherwise they blend it with tea from out-of country)
Can't seem to confirm, but I BELIEVE New Zealand produces a black alongside it's oolong.
I never knew about Washington – I now have a new mission!
Also, there's the Charleston Tea Plantation in South Carolina that produces American Classic Tea
Mariage Freres has an Arunchal Pradesh tea DONYI POLO FTGFOP1. I have been trying to find places that carry it.
No problem. I went on a search for it after I tried Dawn. They have it on their website but I have no idea if the they ship to North America.
oh my, that is quite a list!! Thank you AJ!! I'll try and find all of these eventually :)
You're welcome. I know companies for a few of them, but others don't seem to have any active online companies selling them anymore (the last company to carry from Arunachal Pradesh, for example, was The Simple Leaf ["Dawn"], but they have since gone under).
that is a shame. Maybe another company will pick it up!
Fujian blacks (Bailin, Tanyang, Jin Jun Mei) ?
oh hey I forgot all about those! dunno where I can get them. I need to research! thanks for the tip kOmpir!!
hmmm…. georgian black teas and turkish teas?
American plantation blacks and tregothan English grown blacks maybe?
I've never heard of 'em either!
I already know about the american grown black tea , but the english grown black in Cornwall was the most obscure till I stumbled on to it on the web. Here is the url for it: tregothan.co.uk They have their own private gardens that grows tea and varieties of flowers. Its also a nice place to rent out a cottage and "disappear for while" around the estate.
I am noticing a suspicious lack of Fujian in that list there, although somebody else already pointed that out.
You might want to have a look at Nothing But Tea's shop. They have a lot of stuff from lesser known areas, including some South American stuff (or they used to anyway).
From India, you're also missing Dooars and Sikkim.
For the Chinese areas, I suggest you look up TeaSpring or try to find other shops that specialise in Chinese tea, because many other shops seems to often only carry the very most popular ones.
Depending on how much you want to go into detail with it, Ceylon is more than just Ceylon. You might be interested in finding somewhere that can give you a taste in the different areas of Ceylon. Tea is grown in notable differences of elevation there too.
I'm afraid, in you mission to try EVERYTHING, you've got a long way to go still. :)
oh no doubt about it Angroboda! I have a loooong way to go in trying them all. And I SO agree about the Ceylon. I have two that have entirely different profiles.
Thanks for the suggestion. Making some of these purchases when I am done with this purge I am on will be such a treat!!! :P
How about Ecuadorian black tea? I have only had it bagged, but it is unique. It is grown at super high altitudes! : ) I know most of it goes to England, but some of it is sold here bagged. The brand? Horniman! hahaha… Seriously.
If you would like to try some, I would gladly send you some! : )
Wouldn't the shipping on that be more than the tea lol
I would absolutely love it if you could send me some but I'd really like to send something back, if there is anything you want??

The cast for this fall's budget brawl is set, but it is anyone's guess whether the group will play long ball, small ball or put off the toughest decisions until after the 2012 elections.
Congressional leaders picked 12 Members for the Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction last week amid turbulence on Wall Street that followed Standard & Poor's historic downgrade of U.S. debt. It was a downgrade S&P blamed in part on partisan bickering over raising the debt ceiling.
"I can't imagine circumstances that would put more pressure on us to get something done," Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said last week on Fox News after he was named to the committee. "When you consider what's happened in just the last few weeks, you know, it really all points to the urgency of doing something meaningful."
Initial statements from leaders and committee members began in a conciliatory fashion, with a charge to agree on a deficit reduction package of at least $1.2 trillion.
But the roster, composed primarily of staunch partisans close to leadership, doesn't inspire hope for a big compromise.
Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.) will be juggling her duties as Senate Democrats' campaign chief and co-chairwoman of the committee. And the other co-chairman, House Republican Conference Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas), might be the most conservative member of the GOP leadership team.
And no Members of the bipartisan "gang of six" lawmakers in the Senate made the cut.
The committee doesn't lack for experience — four of the 12 picks served on last year's fiscal commission led by former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) and President Bill Clinton's White House chief of staff, Erskine Bowles. But all four — Hensarling, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and House Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman Xavier Becerra (Calif.) — voted against the compromise Simpson and Bowles authored.
Still, some of the picks have worked across the aisle — notably Baucus and freshman Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), the former budget director for President George W. Bush who has respect on both sides of the aisle for his budget acumen and interest in crafting a deal.
But the larger dilemma remains, regardless of who was picked. How can you fashion a compromise between Republicans, who have vowed not to raise taxes, and Democrats, who are demanding an end to tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations before they will consider cutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security?
A senior Democratic aide said revenues are the main question for the committee. "That will determine whether there's a deal or not. With that level of scrutiny, and in the wake of S&P calling out Republicans' intransigence on revenues as a main reason for their downgrade, it will be a challenge for them to keep making the argument that there are no loopholes or giveaways to billionaires or oil companies they would find it acceptable to close," the aide said.
Another Democratic aide said the GOP presidential debate last week — where every candidate said they would reject a deal with a 10-to-1 ratio of cuts to tax increases — wasn't a good sign.
"If the super committee is going to have any chance to succeed, the Portmans ... and the Camps will have to resist this new normal in the GOP," the aide said.
House Republicans have generally said they'd be open to closing loopholes and shrinking deductions — if the proceeds go to lowering tax rates rather than deficit reduction.
Toomey, however, has noted he's willing to eliminate tax subsidies, like the one for ethanol, to cut the deficit. Toomey has argued that some of the so-called tax expenditures are "indefensible" and have no functional difference from a spending program. But he also said he's interested in lowering rates to foster economic growth and isn't interested in a "big tax increase."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), meanwhile, struck an uncompromising tone in his own memo to Republicans on the panel last week, saying the GOP should "demand" no tax increases as part of any deal despite the pressure in the wake of the S&P downgrade.
The committee has some things going for it that previous commissions and negotiating groups didn't — a guarantee of an up-or-down vote in both chambers on its recommendations without amendment and a $1.2 trillion "trigger" that will slice defense, Medicare and other spending starting Jan. 1, 2013, if it fails.
The generally miserable poll ratings for Congress in the wake of the debt negotiations might push the parties together, and this committee, unlike the Simpson-Bowles panel, only needs a simple majority to send a bill to the floor.
And there are other incentives for Democrats and President Barack Obama to hope for a deal — rather than simply take the issue to voters.
Democrats have been pushing to expand and extend the 2-percentage-point payroll tax cut through the elections and include infrastructure spending to help provide jobs and juice the economy as Obama seeks re-election. Such items might be hard to get through Congress unless they are part of a debt reduction deal.
The panel will also have to decide soon whether it can reach a framework for a bold deal that would combine tax and entitlement reform — the elusive "grand bargain" — or whether to shoot for a less ambitious plan that cuts programs such as federal retiree benefits and agriculture subsidies and punts on the larger issues.
Senators and aides have said that including broad tax reform would be difficult because of the committee's short time frame. After Congress returns and the committee meets for the first time, by Sept. 16, it will have just more than two months to meet the Nov. 23 deadline for a deal.
Toomey told reporters that the panel shouldn't dismiss tax reform because of the time constraints but should look at proposals various groups have already vetted.
Correction: Aug. 15, 2011
An earlier version of this article misstated when a "trigger" to automatically cut defense, Medicare and other spending would kick in if Congress fails to enact at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction by Dec. 23. The automatic cuts would begin Jan. 1, 2013.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) officially recognized the carousel as a city landmark for its historic, aesthetic and cultural significance to the community.
Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley joined dozens of local elected officials and Woodhaven residents to unveil the new commemorative plaque and to celebrate the carousel's place in the community for years to come.
"Today is a very special day," Crowley said. "Not only for the entire Forest Park community, but it's really a great day for the City of New York."
The original carousel was destroyed by fire in 1966, and the current carousel was moved from its original home in Dracut, Massachusetts to Forest Park near Woodhaven Boulevard and Forest Park Drive in 1972.
"It took 25 years to designate it as a landmark, and by landmark time that's pretty fast," said LPC chair Robert Tierney said. "It's just a pleasure to see it come to fruition, to make the designation and to then have this plaque to let everybody know how important it is historically."
The three-row carousel is made with 36 wooden jumping horses, 13 standing horses, three menagerie animals, two chariots and is built with an A. Ruth and Sohn band organ.
State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr. said he was happy to see the carousel would now be protected for future generations.
"At one point it was a place where I took my kids, and now that my children's children can come here, it means something," Addabbo said. "For many of you I know that these are childhood memories, and we are so grateful about standing here today."
Also joining in the ceremony were Comptroller John Liu, Assemblyman Mike Miller, Melinda Katz, Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation executive director Maria Thomson, and Woodhaven Residents' Block Association president Ed Wendell.
"About 100 years from now, people will gather to celebrate how this thing is 200 years old and the names of the people who are here today will be long forgotten," Wendell said. "The children that are around will be the great-grandparents of the kids that will ride on this carousel.
"This is something that's permanent and something that connects the residents of Woodhaven from one generation to another," he said.

Vick or Favre? Which one was the bigger story nationally?
According to Nielsen Buzzmetrics, which measures the mention of a topic in all blogs in the country, Michael Vick's deal with the Eagles was mentioned in nearly 25 percent of blogs, while Brett Favre's was mentioned in 18 percent, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Eagles announced the Vick signing on Aug. 13. Favre told the Vikings he was coming out of retirement to join them on Aug. 18.
Despite all the attention Vick's return to an NFL regular-season game garnered last week, it is Packers-Vikings on "Monday Night Football," so the ESPN machine will be pumping at full steam.
Michael Vick was in Southwest Washington, D.C., yesterday to speak at a church about his past and continue his appearances in conjunction with the Humane Society of America.
Vick hit on familiar themes from past events, although this time his message was not specifically delivered to a group of youngsters. He has made two public appearances in Philadelphia at schools. The Humane Society also wants Vick to speak at churches, especially in the inner city.
"I didn't care what I was doing," Vick said, according to the Washington Post. "I didn't care about what was happening or if I got caught or exposed. I never thought about the animals. I was only interested in my own amusement. Something so pointless. I can't even comprehend why I did it."
The speculation about Vick's future with the Eagles continue, especially among the NFL national pundits.
"I don't believe he will be a Philadelphia Eagle next year because of his contract status," Boomer Esiason said Sunday on the NFL Today. "They'll have to pay him over $5 million if they want to keep him. I do believe he will be a starting quarterback in this league, and it will be on another team."
Kevin Kolb will be named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his 24-for-34, 327-yard, two-touchdown performance against Kansas City, the Eagles said.
Kolb is the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than 300 yards in his first two starts.
Kolb now must go back to watching Donovan McNabb play, with McNabb apparently healed from a broken rib suffered in the season opener.

After back-to-back second-place finishes, North Gaston�s volleyball team has a chance to return to the top of the Big South 3A Conference.
After back-to-back second-place finishes, North Gaston�s volleyball team has a chance to return to the top of the Big South 3A Conference.
The Wildcats visit Kings Mountain Tuesday for a match that essentially will decide the league title. The varsity match will start around 5:15 p.m. or about 10 minutes following the junior varsity match.
North Gaston (17-3, 10-0 Big South) won the first meeting in four sets and can clinch its first championship since 2009 if it can beat the Mountaineers (14-4, 8-1) again. These two programs have combined to win the past four Big South titles. North Gaston won in 2008 and 2009 before Kings Mountain won the next two.
North Gaston is led by senior setter Sullivan Owens (598 assists, 63 aces, 117 digs), senior outside hitter Olivia Denton (247 kills, 160 digs), sophomore libero Georgina Diaz (288 digs, 43 aces), junior middle hitter Jamie Staley (69 blocks, 128 kills), senior right side hitter Emily Martin (24 blocks, 31 assists, 24 aces) and freshman twins Erin Edwards (94 kills, 32 blocks) and Sydney Edwards (116 kills, 40 aces).
North Gaston has won all but three of its conference matches in three sets and won the others in four sets. Second-year head coach Heather Pasour said the team members get along well, something that can go a long way, and that the Wildcats have improved their defense from a year ago.
Kings Mountain is led by junior setter Logan Smith (204 assists, 89 kills, 30 aces), sophomore middle hitter Kayla Bolt (59 kills, 26 aces, 33 blocks) and junior outside hitter Natalie Fedyschyn (70 kills, 35 aces).
�We�ve been pumping up our student body trying to get a lot of people in the gym since we do have the home court advantage,� Kings Mountain coach Ashley Pridgeon said. �We always play better at home than we do on the road.�
North Gaston won the first meeting 25-22, 25-17, 11-25, 25-17.
The Wildcats close out the conference schedule Thursday at home against South Point while Kings Mountain will have two remaining league matches after Tuesday: Thursday at Crest and Monday at home against Forestview.

There are very few people who become famous simply for being themselves, and that is how it should be. Who even wants that? It's not a very good idea. Amy Sedaris, however, has managed exactly this trick and we are all the better for it. (Seems worth pointing out that there are people who get famous for no other reason than their relentless self-promotion and lack of God-given shame: Kim Kardashian comes to mind, but these people aren't famous for being themselves. They're famous because of their relentless self-promotion and lack of God-given shame. It's a very different thing!) Anyway, Amy Sedaris was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night Amy Sedaris-ing up the place, and it was just fantastic. She is so funny and great! I mean, I don't know her in person, maybe she's awful. But she sure seems funny and great on television, and isn't that what it's all about?! You know what I think my favorite thing about her whole public persona thing is? It's completely open and welcoming. Let me explain: it's a well-known fact at this point that people like you and me are stupid pieces of shit who spend far too much of their time worrying about what other people think of them, and classifying their enthusiasms and interests along an intensely confusing and political scale in some kind of endless intellectual/cultural/aesthetic pissing contests. So, for example, things can fall in and out of favor depending on who else likes or dislikes them at a given time. Not so with Amy Sedaris! There's no sense of ownership that some people get about that kind of thing ("I was into Shia LaBeouf when he was on Project Greenlight" – something someone actually said to me once.) If you are an Amy Sedaris fan and you meet someone who has not watched her make a cake with Martha Stewart, all you want to do is show them that clip. EVERYBODY GET ON BOARD THE AMY SEDARIS TRAIN! THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM! IT'S NICE IN HERE!
OK, here she is last night:
Putting on a fashion show:
Cooking hot dogs on a rake:
Amy Sedaris, you guys. I know you're probably already on board, but get on board some more.

However dearly the Framers may have held the idea, it has long since been left behind by history. More than a century ago, most Americans became urban wage earners, not farmers or small-town shopkeepers and artisans; by World War II, just 20 percent of workers were self-employed, a figure that is down to 10 percent today. Working Americans face many challenges, but transforming them by the millions into shopkeepers and artisans is not the answer to improving their lot. In fact, today the richest regions in the United States and abroad are those in which self-employment is lowest—and the poorest are those with the most self-employed inhabitants. The reason is simple: As a rule, the smaller the firm, the lower the productivity level. Richest fairest: Economies led by large firms also tend to have less income inequality.
The anti-monopoly school identifies many genuine problems, ranging from low wages to the massive influence of money in politics. But the solution to low wages is not to break up big, productive firms that pay higher wages. Public policy should encourage start-ups that have the potential to scale up into dynamic national or global firms. Helping a robotics or biotech firm that can boost national productivity and competitiveness will benefit everyone. Why should Ashley and Justin get tax breaks and exemptions from regulations to help realize their dream of opening a brick-oven pizzeria?
As for the corruption of politics by special interests, it is a real threat to democracy, and there's no denying that Big Business buys influence in Washington. But K Street is also lined with trade associations and pressure groups representing small businesses and professionals. Of the top 16 business-funded political-action committees in 2016, five represented small business. Why single out corporations as the sole benefactors of the current system when the National Association of Realtors, the National Beer Wholesalers Association, and the National Automobile Dealers Association are busy advancing the interests of their members?
The small-is-beautiful consensus is wrong. But we need not replace it with an equally simpleminded orthodoxy in favor of Big Business. A dynamic economy requires the interaction of firms of all sizes. Small firms play legitimate if diminished roles today, and always will. To flourish in the 21st century, we must learn again that big can be beautiful, too.

GRANVLLE - A new competitive summer lacrosse program has emerged in Licking County for boys in grades 4 through 9.
Blue Ace Select Lacrosse was founded in May, and showcased their talent in a select, travel-based tournament schedule. After evaluation, 40 players were selected for 12u and 14u teams, with players from Granville, Licking Valley, Gahanna and Pickerington. "Granville is our base, but incorporating other programs and communities makes everybody better," said Andy Durham, founder of the program and Granville youth lacrosse coach.
The teams practiced at Evans Park in Hebron, but also partnered with the Lacrosse Academy, a Denison University based summer program for enhanced instruction and player development.
They showed improvement throughout their summer tournaments. They are coached by former high school and current college players.
Earlier in June, both teams competed in the Ohio Lacrosse Festival at Hilliard, playing five games in two days against teams from Columbus, Toledo, Cincinnati and Cleveland as well as Kentucky and Indiana. The 14u team upset the top-seeded team from Louisville, Kentucky 5-4 in overtime, with Dylan Roof from Granville Middle School scoring the winning goal.

Cold Front Arrives This Week....
Cold Front Arrives This Week....
Enjoy temperatures in the 80s on Tuesday! Big changes are set to arrive by the middle of the week. A sharp cold front will arrive Wednesday into Thursday, and that means rain and storms along with unseasonably cold air will follow.
The severe weather threat will be very low as the cold front will undercut the storms Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Temperatures will fall into the 40s on Thursday with a cold rain expected. There's even a chance for some winter weather to the west of our area.
The system will get cut-off and could linger through Saturday with clouds and isolated showers. In fact the unseasonably cool temperatures will continue throughout the entire weekend.

As open water continues to encroach upon Terrebonne's wetlands, contractors for the parish will soon begin to study a new solution.
As open water continues to encroach upon Terrebonne's wetlands, contractors for the parish will soon begin to study a new solution.
The parish are planning a study into the cost and feasibility of building a pipeline from the Atchafalaya River to carry sediment to the parish's starving wetlands.
Parish officials stressed that the project is a long way from becoming reality, but say it could be a way to rejuvenate withering wetlands and stave off intrusion of salt water.
Parish President Michel Claudet said the idea for the pipeline has been around for some time, and he hopes this study will show the concept is feasible and the cost reasonable.
The study is two-pronged.
Baton Rouge engineering firm Moffatt & Nichol will study potential sources of sediment along the Atchafalaya, Terrebonne Coastal Restoration Director Nic Matherne said
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regularly dredge various spots in the river that could serve as a source for the sediment, he said. A sediment trap which could be mined is also a possibility, he added.
"The benefit of introducing sediment into the system via pipeline is tapping into a renewable source of sediment in the river," Matherne said.
The second approach looks at potential paths for the 40-50 mile pipeline. That portion of the study will be conducted by Houma-based CB&I.
Matherne said the parish has had informal discussions about a partnership that would run the new pipeline along an existing industrial pipeline.
Much of the time and cost of such a project comes from permits and building a corridor for the pipe will pass through. Matherne said being able to partner with an existing corridor would greatly reduce harm to wetlands and speed the process.
The project is similar to a state project which will carry sediment via pipeline from the Mississippi River west to the Barataria Basin. That project is shorter than the goal for Terrebonne and will cost the state $70 million to $100 million.
The pipeline from the Mississippi was originally set to stretch west to the Cloverly area of Lafourche Parish, but was scaled back due to cost. State officials say the intent is to bring the project to Lafourche, but more money is required.
Though Terrebonne's concept would require a longer pipeline, Matherne said the cost could be comparable depending on the study results.
He said the Mississippi River pipeline requires the construction of a ridge for the corridor. Terrebonne's project could avoid such costs by tying into an existing pipeline's corridor, he said.
"The ultimate hope is that we could reach it all the way to eastern Terrebonne," Matherne said. "We understand that is a very large and bold project that will take a great deal of planning and cooperation."
Matherne said pipelines are advantageous because they can be extended to restore multiple sites, nothing areas near Falgout Canal and the rim of Terrebonne Bay as spots in desperate need.
Because the line can be extended, the project would likely take place in phases allowing the parish to pull money from different sources over time.
"Once the corridor is in place, we could possibly ask for a few more million to move it further east and keep building on the footprint as we move to different areas in dire need," Matherne said.
Parish government and Terrebonne's Levee District are paying up to $750,000 for the study. That amount will be matched by federal Coastal Impact Assistance.
"It's something we feel is important enough not to sit around and wait for it to be a priority for others," Matherne said. "We want to put some skin in the game to get it prioritized."
Parish officials say they hope taking the lead on the project will ease the way for state and federal coastal restoration money to help pay for the project, especially with billions in BP fines earmarked for coastal restoration projects.
"We have this great Morganza (levee) plan, but the hope is that water or surge would never impact that (levee) alignment because we would have enough defense that would knock down storm surge so those levees are not our first line of defense but our last resort," Matherne said.
Once initiated, the study will take about eight months to complete.

Noted Actor Frankie Cassavetes Acquires Rights to Science Fiction Environmental Screenplay "Pollen and the Ring of Harmony"
Based on Francis T. Perry Williams novel, film will raise awareness of environmental issues through use of special effects, not violence
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 14, 2013 08:35 AM
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new screenplay described as a cross between Avatar, E.T., and Lord of the Rings has recently been acquired by noted actor and producer Frankie Cassavetes, who is currently forming a production team.

The screenplay, written by Francis T. Perry Williams, promises to raise public awareness of the environmental crisis that threatens our society. Mr. Cassavetes describes the screenplay as groundbreaking, saying, "It's the best script I've read in years, a complete package that will have worldwide appeal."
Based on Williams' novel Pollen and the Ring of Harmony, the film will depict the story of Pollen, an interstellar traveler from the far reaches of space. Pollen has been dispatched to Earth in order to warn mankind of the potentially tragic ramifications of its eco-unfriendly behavior. Accompanying Pollen on his quest is a mysterious living ring with unimaginable powers akin to God like, which allows Pollen to serve as a noble "green" messiah.
In the wake of recent tragedies caused by gun violence, Cassavetes is proud of the film's lack of violent content. Excitement will instead be achieved by special effects and a good story. "Everyone will want to be a part of this, a real game changer. I want to change the world and this project will do it," states Cassavetes, who appeared in Peter Burg's 2012 film, Battleship.
The novel version of Pollen and the Ring of Harmony is available on amazon.com.

Foes say plan to hype nano brews is unconstitutionalBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 29. 2013 10:44PM
CONCORD - Legislation to encourage the State Liquor Commission to feature New Hampshire-brewed craft beers in four of its outlets was termed unconstitutional by a lobbyist for wine and liquor distributors.
Robert Blaisdell, representing the New Hampshire Wine and Spirits Brokers Association, said Tuesday that the proposal might not survive a constitutional challenge in light of high court rulings in similar cases.
A bill heard by the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee would legalize the sale of beer at state liquor stores and set up a pilot program to feature New Hampshire craft-brewed beer at the state stores in Hampton and Hooksett.
Blaisdell argued that allowing only beer brewed in the state to be sold at state-owned shops violates the rights of out-of-state manufacturers under the Constitution's commerce clause.
"States cannot treat an in-state interest better than out-of-state interests," Blaisdell said.
He quoted a high court ruling in a case involving wine distribution in Michigan and New York that said "mandating different treatment of in-state and out-of-state economic interests that helps the former and burdens the latter" is unconstitutional.
The justices struck down laws in the two states that let in-state wineries sell directly to consumers by mail while denying the same right to out-of-state firms.
Bill sponsor Robert Cushing, D-Hampton, said the measure was carefully drafted to meet its intended purpose of helping the state's fledgling, but growing, craft beer industry.
"It is narrowly focused to four limited-access highway liquor stores," Cushing said. "We don't want to get it into a place where the New Hampshire Liquor Store monopoly is competing with local stores."
The trade group representing grocers also opposed the measure. New Hampshire Grocers Association President John Dumais said that beer is more of a grocery item than a liquor store item because it is often sold along with other products, unlike liquor, which is traditionally bought at stores that basically sell alcoholic beverages."
Grocers have been the sole seller of beer for the past 80 years, since the end of Prohibition," he said. "They're not just buying beer - there are a lot of associated items in their shopping baskets."
State Liquor Commission Chief of Administration Craig Bulkley said that without spending money on store upgrades, the state agency can't afford to give up more profitable store space to beer, which has profit margins less than half those on liquor.
"If we pull supplies of spirits and wine off the floor and replace them with beer, we would be cutting our profit margin considerably," Bulkley said.
In urging a favorable recommendation on the bill, Cushing said the intent is to focus the craft beer sales at top-selling highway stores that are more likely to attract visitors.
"We'd really be helping to brand the state as a brewing mecca," Cushing said. "We'd establish New Hampshire brands to people who would go home to their home state and who might say 'that's a nice case of beer I picked up in New Hampshire.'"
Nano brewery proposal
The committee also heard testimony on a proposal to allow nano breweries, which produce less than 2,000 barrels of beer per year, to sell samples of more than four ounces on their premises.
Supporters noted that current law allows a nano brewery to sell only four ounces of each beer they sell to a single customer, so a customer can buy 16 ounces of beer in four-ounce shots, but can't buy a pint.
The bill was opposed by Eddie Edwards, head of enforcement for the State Liquor Commission.
"There is a difference between sampling and consuming," Edwards said.
But Alex McCarthy of Earth Eagle Brewing of Portsmouth said there's no other way to introduce people to the limited supply of product from his tiny operation.
"When I'm only open four hours a day on the weekend, to sell a pint to a customer is not a hindrance," McCarthy said. "It will allow us to grow."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Former President Bill Clinton cut an ad for President Obama's re-election campaign to sell the message that Obama's policies help build a strong middle class.
In the ad released Thursday, Clinton says "the election, to me, is about which candidate is more likely to return us to full employment."
"This is a clear choice," Clinton says in the "Clear Choice" spot. "The Republican plan is to cut more taxes on upper-income people and go back to deregulation. That's what got us in trouble in the first place."
The 30-second ad airs in eight swing states.
"President Obama has a plan to rebuild America from the ground-up -- investing in innovation, education and job training," Clinton said. "That's what happened when I was president. We need to keep going with his plan."
Republicans, including presumptive party presidential nominee Mitt Romney, said the policies of Clinton and Obama differ wildly, The Hill said. The GOP also charged that Obama eviscerated work requirements included in the legislation Clinton signed in 1996.
Clinton said that charge is "not true."

For years I carried a tennis racket on vacations and played in some beautiful, memorable places—high on a mountainside in Bellagio, Italy, for instance, above the fork in Lake Como. These days, however, having taken up painting (or, more accurately, having been seized by painting), I pack paper, a pencil, an eraser and a travel set of watercolors (so small it fits into my hand) and spend hours in plein-air pursuits. Watercolors have accompanied me to Canada, Spain, Poland, Norway, Portugal and France. Yet the quality of the art I make might cause a fair-minded viewer to wonder why I bother. I'm no John Singer Sargent, no J. M. W. Turner, and no amount of practice will ever change that.
A rank amateur, I have found that studying portraiture and the human figure has not prepared me to paint cityscapes, seascapes or landscapes, though I thought it would and think it ought to, if only I were doing it correctly. When painting trees, skies, water and architecture, I'm tempted to dial 911 for emergency assistance.
Painting outside in public also has its challenges. In art class, no one ever walks between artist and subject, but outdoors people routinely linger in the narrow space between the artist and the statue or flowers or boat she has chosen to immortalize. In class, no one gawks from behind or comments on the work in progress. No dripping leaf, bird or sudden cloudburst mars the image one has spent hours making; no gale rips the sheet from one's tablet. In class, other students sympathize with common errors—like the troubling blooms that form from an excess of water. Outdoors, though, these blooms call out to passersby: "Come here and look at this mistake!" As anyone who has ever painted in the medium knows, watercolors do not tolerate mistakes. Outdoors, the paintings seem to take them personally.
The plein-air painter must be prepared for sweat, sunburn, insects, wind and accidents involving permanent color. I have learned (almost) not to care what onlookers say and readily oblige anyone who asks to take my photo. And I love the children who, fascinated by the colors and the act of painting, stand reverently beside me until some adult calls them, still rapt, away. Mark-making binds people, even if they can't say 10 words to each other in a common language.
Imagine me folded onto a six-inch curb in Krakow, painting a streetcar passing through a crowded intersection. Imagine me, fingers half-frozen, painting solo on a bench overtaken instantly by Japanese tourists, the day's last busload, as night falls over a totem at a Canadian national monument. See me in Vancouver, straddling a felled tree on the beach trying to catch on a 10-inch by 14-inch page the spectacle of the setting sun. Imagine me painting vignettes of children as they swim and jump into Lake Annecy in the French Alps.
Why try if the paintings are not the reward? After all, one can effortlessly make a picture-perfect video or photo. My answer: Because effort is the thing; the joy is in the doing. It is fun to imagine oneself painting a lovely frameable keepsake, but the joy comes in the application of the paint. Also, I remember each subject, sitting before it, relating to it, giving it my best. While I am often proud of my paintings—enough to display them at home and at the office—it is the experience of painting that satisfies. I choose a subject, sketch it, experiment with colors and stroke with the brush. I love the grand absorption, oblivion for hours. Often I take too long. The light changes so much that my finished image shows the passage of time by its incongruous shadows. Yet looking intensely at a subject, examining how it is constructed, what lies in front of it, behind it, next to it, watching it change with the light—is a huge reward.

'Canes win again, move over .500
Two weeks after their first victory, the Warwick Vets boys' soccer team hit another milestone on Tuesday when it beat North Providence 7-3 to push its record above the .500 mark for the first time in a long time.
It felt much like the first milestone – tough weather conditions and an opponent that wouldn't go away.
The 'Canes navigated those challenges again.
"They're learning it," said head coach Mike Kenney. "We knew going in that they we're going to have to learn how to win. We're not winning them easy. It's never comfortable. But they're getting it."
The 'Canes have now won three of four since an 0-2 start, and the only loss in that span was a 1-0 decision against unbeaten Prout. Their first victory came against Rogers and they then beat St. Raphael 5-1 last Wednesday.
The positive trend continued on Tuesday, even though it wasn't easy. A steady rain fell throughout the game, and the Cougars never stopped pushing. They controlled much of the action and forced goalie Mike Riccitelli to make a lot of plays.
But the 'Canes had the finishing touch.
Murilo Bellacosa gave Vets an early 1-0 lead. The 'Canes came up empty on a few golden opportunities over the next few minutes, but they struck again in the 24th minute when Sompathay Sadakhom punched in a rebound for the 2-0 lead.
From there, the Cougars made their run. Two defensive breakdowns led to two goals in less than a minute from Felix Jayson. All of a sudden, the teams were back at zero.
Letting teams back in has been a problem for the 'Canes – but they've also usually had the solution.
And they did again on Tuesday.
Just three minutes after Jayson's goal, Vets was awarded a penalty kick after a foul in the box. Dylan Robert took it and buried a left-footed shot into the right corner to put the 'Canes back on top. They went to halftime leading 3-2.
In the second half, the strong response continued. Robert scored again 10 minutes into the half to make it 4-2 before Cody Sullivan dribbled through two defenders in the midfield, jumped over a slide tackle and made a move around the charging goalie for another goal and a 5-2 lead.
"This was a good one," Kenney said. "We're not winning them easy. It seems like we put up a score, but we're never comfortable the way the games are going. But it's a good effort all the way around."
North Providence again made a push, scoring with 15 minutes left to make it 5-3. But the 'Canes quickly put the game away. With eight minutes to go, Sullivan got loose on a break and delivered his second goal. He did the same thing six minutes later for the hat trick and the final 7-3 margin.
Finally, the 'Canes could relax.
"It's probably being a little nervous from the last couple of years – that nothing's safe," Kenney said. "It's in everybody's heads – here we go again. We're trying to get rid of the here we go again. It's taking them a little while but they're figuring it out."
The 'Canes are also getting healthier, with Robert back in the fold after a knee injury kept him out and Sullivan getting back to full strength after an ankle injury. Sweeper Will Hay injured his ankle last week and will be out for a while, but Brad Robert has picked up the slack at the defensive end.
Vets will try to keep the good times rolling when it visits Johnston on Friday at 6 p.m. The Panthers are 1-5-2.
"I'm happy with the result," Kenney said. "I'm happy to be above. 500. We'll move on and try to keep it going."

We seem to get a lot of threads on here from people asking what to expect in an interview as far as questions. I thought maybe we could work on creating a clearing house of some of our favorite questions to ask based on the type of position (this one is entry-level). You might add a tag at the end if you would ask the question only in a particular circumstance.

The Province of Massachusetts Bay requests aid from Queen Anne, 1708
View this item in the Collection.
Queen Anne's War (1702–1713) was the second of four great wars for empire fought among France and England and their Indian allies. This struggle broke out when the French raided English settlements on the New England frontier. Fighting then spread south, where English colonists in the Carolinas attacked Spanish territory in Florida. An English invasion of Quebec in 1710 failed, but in the Treaty of Utrecht ending the conflict, France ceded Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and the French territory around Hudson Bay to England, and abandoned its claim to sovereignty over the Iroquois.
In this memorial to Queen Anne in 1708, the Massachusetts colonists recounted the many economic losses they had suffered during the twenty years of warfare. They also suggested that the only way to combat the Indians, who had a different style of fighting than the colonists, was to enlist "the service of the Mohawks, and other Nations of the Western Indians that are in Friendship and Covenant with you."
A full transcript is available.
It's nothing short of Twenty years, That your Ma.tys good Subjects of this Province, have been wasting under the Calamity's of a Distressing and Expensive War, taking the Commencem:t thereof from the Rebellion and Eruption of the Eastern Indians in the year 1688. - save onely the Intervention of Three or four years Cessation after the peace of Reyswick, during the Continuance whereof they forbore to commit their Bloody Villanies and Outrages. The french not dareing then openly to Avow, Assist and protect them therein, Yet in those years we were put to a very Considerable Charge, in keeping Constant Guards & Espyalls over them to prevent Surprizals by their perfidy and Treachery's -
And very Soon upon the New Declaration of War wth. france, they broke out again, in open Rebelion and hostility, Committing divers barbarous Murders, just after a Repeated and fresh Recognition of their Duty and Allegiance to your Majesty -
We have been sharers in Common with other our fellow Subjects to a great Degree in Losses, both of men and Estate, at home and at Sea, both in the former & the present War, our Trade is greatly diminished, and we are very much Exhausted; our yearly Expence for our necessary defence, and to prevent the Incursions of the Enemy is vastly great. But by the good Providence of God, In the Early Advice from time to time given, of the Motions of the Enemy, and the prudent Methods taken by your Ma:tys Captain General; to Observe them, and preparations made for their Reception in their Descents upon us, has prevented those Impressions, which probably we might otherwise have felt, and they have been forced to Return back Ashamed, not without Loss on their part. -
But we have no prospect of the End of these Troubles, & of being Eased of our heavy and Insupportable Charge and burthen, whilst we can Act only Defensively, and have to do with Enemy's and Rebels within our very Bowells.

Blue Jays back brilliant Buehrle with 9-run 7th
TORONTO -- Mark Buehrle is off to such a great start this season that manager John Gibbons is beginning to run out of words to describe his outings.

TORONTO -- Mark Buehrle is off to such a great start this season that manager John Gibbons is beginning to run out of words to describe his outings.
Toronto's veteran left-hander is off to one of the best starts of his 15-year career. He has established himself as the Blue Jays' ace through the early stages of this 2014 season and has showed no signs of slowing down.View Full Game Coverage
Buehrle was back at it again on Wednesday night as he tossed seven scoreless innings to pick up his Major League-leading sixth win of the season, while the Blue Jays' offense erupted for nine runs in the seventh en route to a 10-0 victory over the Phillies.
"I thought he did a nice job; he threw more curveballs tonight than he normally does, so they had a good game plan there, and they made some adjustments that way," Gibbons said. "But he does what he typically does. He keeps them off-balance, throws anything at any time and uses his defense."
Gibbons sort of shrugged his shoulders after making the comment, as if to suggest, "What more was there to say?" He has been asked about Buehrle, a notoriously slow starter in the past, often in the early part of this season, and with good reason.
The 35-year-old Buehrle has allowed two runs or fewer in all but one of his seven starts and has pitched at least seven innings on four occasions. His ERA sits at a remarkable 1.91, all of this from a pitcher who rarely tops 84 mph on the radar gun.
After Gibbons issued the initial assessment on Buehrle's latest outing he paused, and a big grin came across his face.
"I don't know if I can describe it any more than that, again," Gibbons said. "All he does is keep winning. I don't know, does the same thing every time he wins. Just hit rewind."
Buehrle allowed three hits and two walks while striking out six. He has five quality starts in seven outings and made it look relatively easy against the Phillies' lineup. He recorded a trio of three-up, three-down innings and allowed just three baserunners to reach scoring position. The strong performance played a major role in the Blue Jays being able to even their record at 17-17 with a fourth consecutive victory.
Whenever Buehrle pitches well, he simplifies it by saying that luck was on his side. He reiterated that point Wednesday but also acknowledged this might be one of the best runs of his career.
"At the start of a season, it has to be the best," Buehrle said. "Trying to think of a seven-game stretch going as good, I don't know if I can really think of one off the top of my head.
"I didn't feel the greatest in the first inning or two; I felt like I was battling and falling behind the count. ... Then I had a couple quick innings and kind of caught a breather. It's just going my way right now."
The hype for Wednesday night's game suggested a pitcher's duel between Buehrle and veteran lefty Cliff Lee, and neither starter disappointed early on. Through six innings, Lee matched Buehrle almost pitch for pitch with the exception of a run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Jose Reyes, which followed hits by Colby Rasmus and Steve Tolleson.
But Lee's pitching dominance ended in the seventh, when the Blue Jays put the game out of reach in a hurry. Erik Kratz, Juan Francisco and Edwin Encarnacion all homered during an inning that saw 12 batters come to the plate. The nine runs came up just short of the franchise record of 11, which had been done in 1984, 1995 and 2007.
Toronto had eight hits in the seventh to go along with a walk. In addition to the home runs, Jose Bautista added an RBI single and has reached base in all 34 of the Blue Jays' games this season. Lee surrendered the home runs to Kratz and Francisco as he managed to get just one out in the seventh before leaving the game. The Phillies' ace was charged with six runs on seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts.
"It's one of those innings where they didn't miss anything," said Lee, who allowed more than three runs for the first time since Opening Day. "It is what it is. It wasn't like I was walking a lot of guys. They just got hits. Put some good swings on balls and put together a huge inning."
The offense has easily established itself as the Blue Jays' biggest strength this year. Toronto finished its game on Wednesday night in a tie for the second-most runs in the American League, with 166. The club has scored at least five in all but two of its past 11 games.
There are still some long-term question marks about the pitching staff, but if the bats keep this up, it will give the Blue Jays a chance on any given night, and the pitchers know it.
"I think we all know what this offense can do when they get on a roll," Buehrle said. "We have had guys out of the lineup and guys hurt, and we are still producing. We have guys come up from the Minor Leagues, and they are doing pretty good. If they keep this up, I think our pitching will be better than we have showed. If we can kind of get everything together and get on a little roll, I think we will be all right."

Is Maggie missing? Our passive governor
May 05. 2014 5:30PM
If New Hampshire could pay its bills with empty rhetoric, Maggie Hassan would be a great governor.
In early April a judge ruled the state's Medicaid enhancement tax unconstitutional. The ruling blew a hole in the state budget that could be as large as $400 million. Hassan immediately issued a statement that blamed last session's Republican Legislature (fair enough) but said nothing about the way forward.
"Today's ruling on the MET presents additional budget and healthcare challenges," Hassan said. "My office has been in discussions about MET issues with relevant stakeholders due to previous court rulings, and I will continue working closely with hospitals, providers, legislators and state officials to resolve these challenges in a way that is fair to all parties, protects the state's budget and ensures the health and well-being of Granite Staters."
When Standard & Poors downgraded New Hampshire's debt outlook two weeks ago, Hassan issued this statement: "The Standard and Poor's announcement reinforces the need for hospitals, providers, legislators and state officials to quickly work together to address the budget and healthcare challenges posed by the Medicaid Enhancement Tax ruling."
Last week Senate President Chuck Morse, R-Salem, outlined a plan for changing the Medicaid enhancement tax so that it survives constitutional scrutiny. Gov. Hassan's office responded by stating that she looked forward to hearing more from Sen. Morse and that she "continues to believe that by working with all stakeholders, we can resolve these challenges in a responsible way that is fair to all parties and that protects the state's budget and the health of Granite Staters."
It has been nearly a month since the MET court ruling, and Hassan is still waiting for others to act. She has shown not the slightest hint of leadership. As usual, she is letting Sen. Morse lead while she pretends to be immersed in deep thought. Maybe she installed a think tank in the corner office and got stuck in it. Someone should go check. Someone other than Sen. Morse, though. He's too busy governing.

Lipscomb University Lady Bisons soccer coach Jenger Parrish has announced the signing of Jennifer Jacobs from La Crosse, Wisc.
Jacobs, a 5-foot-6 midfielder-forward, was a first team WIAA Mississippi Valley All-Conference selection for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 seasons as a player for Aquinas High School. She was a La Crosse Tribune Athlete of the Week selection in 2004. Her high school team made the state Final Four in 2003, the Final Eight in 2004 and state runner-up in 2005. She also served as team captain for 2006.
"Jennifer has excellent skills with a great first touch," said P. Michael Jacobs, her high school coach. "She plays extremely well with her back to the goal. She finds targets and distributes the ball well. She knows how to finish."
Jacobs plans to major in Spanish-Elementary Education.
"Lipscomb allows me to play soccer at a university with a solid Christian foundation," said Jacobs. "Academically, Lipscomb offers my desired major. And I am looking forward to playing under the direction of Coach Parrish."
Jennifer is the daughter of Susan and Dr. P. Michael Jacobs.

Mississippi's House Bill 25, which would have mandated the state board of education to require every textbook that discusses evolution to include a disclaimer describing evolution as "a controversial theory," died in committee on February 3, 2009, according to the state's legislative website.
House File 183, introduced in the Iowa House of Representatives on February 3, 2009, and referred to the House Education Committee, is the latest antievolution "academic freedom" bill. Entitled the "Evolution Academic Freedom Act," HF 183 contains three sections.
Teaching of evolution still in danger; US economy in peril?
Will February 12th be a happy 200th birthday for Charles Darwin? Maybe not, says Glenn Branch, Deputy Director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) in an article that just appeared on the U.S. News & World Report web site.
Senate Bill 433, introduced in the New Mexico Senate on February 2, 2009, and referred to the Senate Education Committee, is the third antievolution bill to be introduced in a state legislature in 2009.
NCSE's deputy director Glenn Branch answered the question "Should creationism be taught in the public schools?" for the on-line edition of US News & World Report (February 2, 2009) — in the negative, of course.

- Champions League final
Ronaldo: Real deserved La Decima
Cristiano Ronaldo insists Real Madrid were worthy winners of a dramatic Champions League final as they sealed a 10th European Cup.
Atletico Madrid were within 90 seconds of glory in Lisbon before Sergio Ramos' injury-time equaliser cancelled out Diego Godin's first-half effort.
Gareth Bale then gave Real the lead in extra-time before strikes from Marcelo and Ronaldo - from the penalty spot - wrapped the victory up.
"It was an unbelievable night, to win La Decima [the club's 10th European title] here in Portugal with a beautiful crowd," Ronaldo told Sky Sports.
"It's something we've been wanting for many, many years and I'm really pleased and happy. I think the team deserved it because we played better than Atletico Madrid.
"I always believed, but we know that to score in 92 minutes is a lucky moment but when you force the game all the time and you believe, it's always more easy.
"I think we deserved to score four goals - we created so many chances and we had the ball all the time."
Ronaldo, the 2013 Ballon d'Or winner who scored 17 goals in 13 Champions League games this season, admitted the win ranks up there among the great achievements in his career.
"Every year I try to do my best, I score goals and I help the team - but maybe because we won the Copa del Rey, we won the Champions League and I won the golden boot," added Ronaldo.
"Of course it's a dream for me.
"I'm really proud to win it here [in Lisbon, where he started his career with Sporting]. We've worked all these years to win these kind of trophies so I'm happy with my team-mates and the fans - they deserve that."
Ronaldo also lauded Real manager Carlo Ancelotti, who equalled former Liverpool boss Bob Paisley's record of winning three European Cups.
"It's just amazing, he's a fantastic coach and a fantastic man so he deserves it," he said.

I am working in Evidence and Confession from chapter 30, My translation doesn't sound very good at all, but I'm not sure what I'm missing. I really appreciate being able to come here to talk to others who know more than me!
Latin :Sit denique scriptum in fronte unius cuiusque quid de re publica
sentiat; nam rem publicam laboribus consiliisque meis ex igne
atque ferro ereptam esse videtis.
Haec iam exponam breviter ut scire possitis qua ratione
comprehensa sint.Semper providi quo modo in tantis insidiis salvi esse
possemus.Omnes dies consumpsi ut viderem quid coniurati acturi essent.
Denique litteras intercipere potui quae ad Catilinam a Lentulo,
aliisque coniuratis missae erant.
Tum, coniuratis comprehensis et senatu convocato, contendi
in senatum, ostendi litteras Lentulo, quaesivi cognosceretne signum. Dixit se cognoscere; sed primo dubitavit et negavit se de his
rebus responsurum esse. Mox autem ostendit quanta esset vis conscientiae; nam
repente mollitus est atque omnem rem narravit.
Tum ceteri coniurati sic furtim inter se aspiciebant ut
non ab aliis indicari sed indicare se ipsi viderentur.
English(my translation):Let him be indeed in the face of one whom may understand what about the state; you see the sate having been saved from fire and sword by my work and counsel. Now let me explain these things briefly, so that you can understand what they might have seized. I have always provided for that mode was able to be alive in so much treachery. I have used up all of my days in order that I would see how the conspirators would act. Finally, I have been able to intercept the letter which had been sent from Lentulo and the other conspiritors to Catilline. Then since the conspirators have been arrested and the senate has been assembled, I have contended in the midst of the senate, I have revealed the letter of Luntulo, I have obtained, he was learning the sign. He had said that he recognizes himself; but in the beginning you have doubted and denied going to answer about these things yourselves. Soon however he revealed how great the strength of conciense was; for he has suddenly been softened and has told about the whole thing. Then the other conspirators so secretly contemplated among themselves that they were not accused by others but seem to accuse their very selves.
