Loose leaf enthusiast here. Teavanna definitely has high quality leaves but you should check your options before you commit. Also - Teavanna(at least the one at South Coast) tries to push the sweet/mixed stuff too much - it's like showing off a steak with A1 sauce instead of letting customers try the delicious steak itself.

I highly recommend just buying tea in bulk on Amazon. If you're looknig for green, these are good : Link $14 for a 16oz bag will last you a very long time. Davidson's Gunpowder is cheap but robust and still delicious for its price.

If you want something with a more distinct flavor then go with Genmaicha. It goes great with food and is great to share with people because of its unique attributes: Link

If you're really keen on going to a store, a lot of the 'alternative' markets have loose leaf. Whole Foods has a pretty good selectoin of loose leaf - keep an eye out for the Rishi brand(Link), quality stuff. Make sure they sell it in loose form and not in the bagged/satchel form.

You can also use Yelp to find a local coffee/tea shop that offers loose leaf tea - they sometimes sell the leaves by itself. Link

Some shops I've personally been to that offers loose leaf tea : Zinc Café, Milk + Honey, Sweet Elle Cafe, Gypsy Den, & Kean Coffee.

Edit - I also recommend using Adagio Tea to buy tea. Great reviews and selection of tea. I have not bought from Tea Trekker but I did buy a book from them - great knowledge and selection of traditional tea from all around the world.

What kind of knife?

I agree with the comments about learning to do it yourself, but freehand sharpening is a skill that takes time to learn, and you'll want to do on cheaper knives at first.

I usually recommend a lansky constant angle sharpener for most people. It's easy to use, and will give you a perfect edge, much better than most people get freehand.

If you still need it sharpened in a week or so,
Send me a PM, I'm in Brea, and could sharpen it for you if you like. (Knife making is my hobby)

Businesses invest in employees who invest in a specialization. Few things make you look as unfocused as saying you are a "jack of all trades" or "well rounded."

And you've also experienced yourself out of entry level jobs. Take all of this as signs that you need to present yourself as someone specialized in IT since you have both experience, and to some extent, an education in it.

Craigslist is a good place to look, but postings there get flooded with applicants. A better way to look for jobs is know the business that are physically located in your area, going to their websites, and seeing postings there. Many business post jobs this way because they are not flooded with applicants, and the people who want the job most are usually willing to go through all the tedium to find one that way.

9-10 resumes a week and nothing yet doesn't mean that you need to put it more. That's already a lot to put in every week. Something about what you're doing just doesn't add up. Either you don't tailor them very well, you ruin yourself with the "jack of all trades" approach, or your skills in IT are behind your competitors. I don't work in IT, but have you considered getting more certs?

There is a job fair tomorrow at CSUF with about 75 companies recruiting there. Have you heard of that?

Also, buy this book:
http://www.amazon.com/What-Color-Your-Parachute-2012/dp/1607740109
It has lots of helpful advice on how to find a job that's backed up with solid research. Putting in a resume in response to an ad you've seen has one of the lowest success rates of any method out there. Also, calling businesses back after you have put in a resume doesn't help your chances at all. It makes you look desperate. It also gives great advice on how to direct your career in general.

Good luck

Yeah I am set to graduate in December and I was feeling a bit lost so I ended up getting a book. This one in particular, not sure if this is a "good" book but it has definitely helped me understand what my wife's body is going through week to week as well as knowing what I need to worry about. I usually take a few minutes every Monday morning too read through that weeks content haha. I am sure there are online blogs that cover it as well. Also picked up a copy of What to Expect When Expecting and the first year version from Goodwill. there are so many copies of that book there haha.

Hang in there brother!

oh shoot, I throught this was r/predaddit lol. That is a small community which was a small comfort knowing there were a bunch of soon to be dads

My favorite book that lists day hikes is this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Day-Hikes-Around-Orange-County/dp/1573420476/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1375381259&sr=8-3&keywords=orange+county+day+hikes

It has very detailed information about each hike, including length and elevation gain, as well as really good instructions on finding trail heads. The maps are good, too. I use the book in conjunction with online trail reviews to get a good sense if I'll enjoy the hike or not. It is a few years old, but I haven't had any issues yet with information being outdated.

Another decent book to check out: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Hikes-Orange-County-Series/dp/076275107X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375381259&sr=8-1&keywords=orange+county+day+hikes

I've got a 2001 Civic and I replaced it myself. It was honestly really, really easy. Just took a little elbow grease and a little research on youtube/google. It cost me about 50 bucks in total. I used this video as a guide and this video is a little more recent (I haven't watched through it fully)

You wanna buy foam-backed fabric from jo-anns or any store similar to it, a metal brush, some razor blades, and some adhesive spray like this one.

What kind of car do you drive? I'm betting you could look up your car on youtube along with the correct key words to find out more info. Since you have an older car, it's probably gonna be easier to service yourself than if it were a new car.

I was getting murdered last year. This year I'm a little better prepared. I highly recommend:

• Mosquito Swatter
  
• Magnetic Screen Door
  
• Indoor Mosquito Trap
  
  I don't even use the last one much any more with the screen but could be good for peace of mind with your baby. Just make sure you empty the trap outside.

This is a great book. Also, others from the same author.

If you don't have the money, you can find a copy online and purchase it once you have the money.

By no means do I want to defend her, what she said, or what she stands for, but I think those books might be pocket-sized copies of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. She might even be handing them out as complimentary copies, I don't know.

Travel John and a blanket....just make sure he doesn't shake it off more than 3 times.... otherwise he's playing with himself.


TravelJohn-Disposable Urinal (6 pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NV878S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zJKfzbVBTPN82

I had a little time to look into it, but it seems a lot of this information on the migration of Confederate soldiers comes from Gordon Breckin, the mayor who's inscribed on the statue. He wrote two books [1] [2] about civil war veterans in Orange County, not just Confederates veterans. They seem like amateur works, but the Santa Ana Historical Society appears to give them a seal of approval and there's a good number of veterans buried in the local cemeteries. It's unseemly that he put together that much work and still pushed for a monument to the CSA, but sometimes Civil War buffs are like that.

>Haha where do you get this kind of rhetoric from?

From Lyndon B. Johnson, full quote: "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years".

>Do you come up with it on your own or is there a talking points bulletin distributed?

It's from a book, read it for yourself:

I have not read this book, but Harvard Historian, Lisa McGirr wrote a book on the rise of conservatism in Orange County in the 1960s https://www.amazon.com/Suburban-Warriors-Origins-American-Politics/dp/0691165734/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

This worked for me, IMO most back pain can be solved by yourself

> grab all brakes and lay down the bike

This is never the right answer. There is no situation where "laying it down" is the optimal solution. If you think it is, I highly suggest learning more about safe motorcycle riding, practicing, and improving your skills.

The stopping distance of a bike with both tires on the ground is dramatically shorter than the distance your body will slide on the ground. That is, until your body collides with an immovable object. You are risking death by intentionally laying it down just as much as intentionally slamming into a car. Either option is demonstrating a lack of control of your motorcycle. This is unsafe both for you and for everyone else on the road.

Source: 15+ years riding experience. Never "had ta lay 'er down" a single time. Also I regularly practice emergency braking maneuvers.
