Quote from Fritz;"American tea is a joke, both in quality and brewing. While I haven't sampled Australian tea, I find it difficult to believe that it is not much better than its American counterpart".
If you do a search on 'Google' for 'PG Tips' you ought then to try some if you find it. Its a very long established English brand of tea that is very probably the most popular of them all. I do know that its available in the US but only from specialist suppliers. As for brewing it; if you have a kettle that boils water, a teapot, a cup & saucer, not forgetting sugar if you take it, than you're all set. Most people take milk with it but I'm of the belief that milk spoils it and that it should only be drunk black. (Don't forget to warm the pot before you brew the tea).
Enjoy............
I picked up some PG tips at the Whole Foods Market near my house ($3.20 for a box of 40). It wasn't in the tea section of the store, but in the English Foods section. The tea is definitely stronger than what I was used to (the bags appear to have more than twice the tea in them than the Lipton tea bag has). I also picked up some Barry's Irish breakfast tea, but haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
I also found PG Tips tea at the Cost plus Wold Market...they also had PG Tips special blend ($7.99 for a box of 80) maybe I'll try that next.
I am wondering about the purpose for warming the pot first.

Ky. church ordains sex offender as minister
By DYLAN T. LOVAN (AP)
LOUISVILLE, Ky. ? A tiny Louisville church's newest minister is a gifted music leader and popular among its three dozen members.
Mark Hourigan is also a sex offender. Almost a decade ago, long before he joined the flock at the City of Refuge Worship Center, he was convicted of sexually abusing an 11-year-old boy in central Kentucky. Hourigan served a five-year sentence and the 41-year-old was placed on Kentucky's sex offender registry for the rest of his life.
A former leader at the church along with an abuse victims advocacy group say Hourigan is a risk to hurt another child and he should not have been placed in a position of authority.
"He's still a threat" to children, said Cal Pfeiffer, who was abused by a Catholic priest as a young student in Louisville in the late 1950s and early 60s.
Pfeiffer and experts on religion and sexual abuse believe it could be the first time a convicted sex offender has been knowingly ordained as a minister in a Christian church.

It is easier to say bad things about gay people than it is to actually do something about fixing one of the other items on your list.

By 365gay Newscenter Staff

Harry Potter loves the gays! Or more accurately, the actor who plays him does.Daniel Radcliffe, the 20-year-old British actor who has risen to fame in recent years playing Harry Potter in the successful film series based on the best-selling novels, is an avid and generous supporter of gay causes, as evidenced by an announcement from The Trevor Project, the non-profit organization that operates the nationwide crisis and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ youth. A spokesman for The Trevor Project revealed today that it has received a major donation from the critically-acclaimed star of the ?Harry Potter? film series and Broadway?s ?Equus.?
As a release issued today notes, ?the 20-year-old actor joined The Trevor Project?s Circle of Hope, a community of major donors which plays an essential role in providing the financial leadership that makes the organization?s lifesaving work possible.? No specific details were given regarding the amount of Radcliffe?s donation.

"The Semicolon" ....... wasn't that a story on Nifty?

"I just want to know, can you change? Is it possible? They say it is."
Adam's voice cracks just slightly at the end of each question, a sign of nervousness and also that his stated age of 16 is probably accurate.
Not a prank. Check.
I want to tell him that God loves him just as he is, that even if "change" were possible it wouldn't be necessary, that once he learns to understand himself he won't want to change anymore. Embrace the beautiful creation you are, Adam!
But he hasn't technically told me he's gay yet, and he has no reason to trust me if I told him all of that. We've only been on the phone for about 1.5 minutes. This is probably the first time he's dared to even ask this much. So instead I ask, "Who says that?"

Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest 2009 Results
An international literary parody contest, the competition honors the memory (if not the reputation) of Victorian novelist Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873). The goal of the contest is childishly simple: entrants are challenged to submit bad opening sentences to imaginary novels. Although best known for "The Last Days of Pompeii" (1834), which has been made into a movie three times, originating the expression "the pen is mightier than the sword," and phrases like "the great unwashed" and "the almighty dollar," Bulwer-Lytton opened his novel Paul Clifford (1830) with the immortal words that the "Peanuts" beagle Snoopy plagiarized for years, "It was a dark and stormy night." -

While waiting, I downloaded a program through cnet that turns out to be the same program Colin suggested. The program works fine, though it is very, very slow.
Something to watch out for.....while installing the program, it will try to change your default search engine and your home page. It will also try to add a tool bar to your browser.
Even though I stopped the above actions, the installation program did add a dvd burner (which I didn't want) plus a program that directs me to download other software made by this company.....every time I get on line. It will take some time to get rid of this junk (kind of like uninstalling norton AV)
