twitter.com NOTE: the story starts out with a scene from the middle of the story (Jiyong is already working at Coffee Prince), then goes into a flashback of when Jiyong was first hired. Storyline: + TOP is the manager of “Coffee Prince”. However, he’s sexually frustrated from not “getting any” in a while. GD or Jiyong on the other hand is a gold digger. Jiyong convinced TOP to hire him with the promise of letting TOP grab a feel of Jiyong’s boobies. Therefore, in the beginning when TOP asked if Jiyong had “them”, he was referring to boobies. Everyone in the shop, including TOP, thinks Jiyong is a girl, which is opposite from the original Drama storyline. However, Jiyong is a guy (he’s actually also gay here, because his boyfriend is Taeyang), and he’s just pretending to be a girl so that he can get some easy money out of TOP. Unfortunately, TOP was betrayed when he accidentally felt Jiyong’s chest, and saw that they were flat. However, TOP being the dense guy that he is, just thought Jiyong was one of those girls that were flat chested. Nonetheless, he was very angry at Jiyong for lying about having big boobies, and getting his hopes up. Sneaky gold digger Jiyong then pulled the “I love you” card to apologize. TOP, now smitten with Jiyong, confesses his feelings and promises to buy Jiyong breast enhancement pills to make Jiyong bigger. He wants to touch big boobies no matter what. Jiyong succeeds, and TOP is lured in. In the very end, TOP finds out Jiyong was a guy all …

(see also www.youtube.com Jeremy Hardy on Louise Mensch on Occupy LSX) Tory MP Louise Mensch trots out a particularly lame criticism of the Occupy LSX protestors, based on their buying coffee from Starbucks, cos they’re supposedly ‘anti-capitalist’ but Starbucks is, like, a big company. A variant of the “why don’t you f*** off to Russia then” gambit.

CoffeeFromPanama.com Coffee – Where to Buy the Best Gourmet Coffee Beans Online Who grows the best gourmet coffee beans in the world? That’s what I wanted to figure out. I new coffee is tasted like wine and that there are two types of beans, robusta and Arabica. But that was the extent of my knowledge on coffee. First, let me get the obvious statement out of the way. To many people, whatever coffee they like to drink is the best coffee in the world to them. It could be what mom or dad put on the pot first thing in the morning, to Folgers, Maxwell House or whatever is being served. They have adapted to the taste and that’s what they like to drink. Many people add cream and sugar which takes away from the true taste of the coffee they are drinking. I wonder if that developed from trying their first cup of black coffee which probably was horrible and was of poor quality. I’m one who always wondered how someone could drink theirs black. Maybe after this research, I’ll find one, try it black and see if there is a change from what my memory bank tells me. How the Best Coffee Beans in the World is Determined In starting the research, I went the Specialty Coffee Association of America which overseas the annual “cupping” contest run by the Roasters Guild. What I found on these websites and others was quite interesting. Briefly, coffee is “cupped” by professionals known as Master Tasters. They sniff and loudly slurp the coffee in an attempt to measure that coffee’s body, sweetness …

Sign up for free iOS apps! bit.ly Grinding the Beans * Blade Grinders: A blade grinder doesn’t actually grind coffee beans. It chops them! It has metal blades that rotate quickly, similar to a food processor. Blade grinders are the most common type of grinder and are usually inexpensive. Common problems with a blade grinder are an uneven grind and exposing the beans to excessive heat. Both problems can affect the taste of the coffee. You can control both the grind size and the length of time needed to grind the beans, which are what cause the heat to build up, by grinding smaller quantities at a time. * Burr Grinders: These use a grinding wheel to crush the beans. The positioning on the burr regulates the ground size, allowing for a more consistent grind. Beans only pass through the grinder once, minimizing heat. Selecting a Coffee Maker You may already own a coffee maker that you’re happy with, in which case you can skip this section. In your quest for the perfect cup, however, you may be wondering about the things you should look for in coffee makers. Some of the features that are heavily advertised by manufacturers—modern styling, contemporary colors, programmable timers, the ability to pause brewing and digital controls—have little to do with the quality of the coffee that’s produced. Here are a few things that are important when selecting a coffee maker: * Brew Temperature: Coffee is most successfully extracted from the beans with water slightly under boiling …

Lyrics “Two Beds And a Coffee Machine” and she takes another step slowly she opens the door check that he is sleeping pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor been up half the night screaming now it’s time to get away pack up the kids in the car another bruise to try and hide another alibi to write another ditch in the road you keep moving another stop sign you keep moving on and the years go by so fast wonder how I ever made it through and there are children to think of baby’s asleep in the back seat wonder how they’ll ever make it through this living nightmare but the mind is an amazing thing full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel two beds and a coffee machine but there are groceries to buy and she knows she’ll have to go home another ditch in the road you keep moving another stop sign you keep moving on and the years go by so fast wonder how I ever made it through another bruise to try and hide another alibi to write another lonely highway in the black of night there’s hope in the darkness I know you’re gonna make it another ditch in the road keep moving another stop sign you keep moving on and the years go by so fast silent fortress built to last wonder how I ever made it I do not own any rights for this music. I didn’t post this with the intention of violating copyrights but to raise awareness for domestic violence and because it’s a beautiful song.

Advisory aimed at Internet Cafe owners characterizes mundane behavior as “suspicious activity” Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv Tuesday, February 7, 2012 An FBI advisory aimed at Internet Cafe owners instructs businesses to report people who regularly use cash to pay for their coffee as potential terrorists. The flyer, issued under the FBI’s Communities Against Terrorism (CAT) program, lists examples of “suspicious activity” and then encourages businesses to gather information about individuals and report them to the authorities. “Each flyer is designed for a particular kind of business,” writes Linda Lewis, a former policy analyst and planner for the US government. “For example, this list was prepared for owners of internet cafes. Unquestionably, someone planning a terrorist attack has engaged in one or more of the “suspicious” activities on that list. But so, too, have most of the estimated 289 million computer users in this country.” Indeed, the flyer aimed at Internet Cafe owners characterizes customers who “always pay cash” as potential terrorists. Of course, the vast majority of people who visit Internet Cafes use cash to pay their bill. Who uses a credit card to buy a dollar cup of coffee? A lot of smaller establishments don’t even accept credit cards for amounts less than dollars. Other examples of suspicious behavior include using a “residential based Internet provider” such as AOL or Comcast, the use of “anonymizers, portals, or …
