My ability to hear volume seems fine--I hear distant birds, quietly chirping insects, etc.
However, I have trouble understanding people when there are other people talking, and it's affecting my business. Is there a quick fix? I've seen this great thread on hearing aids, and this one that mentions auditory processing disorder. I'll see an ENT or audiologist when I'm back in the US, although I kind of suspect that this is more of a sensory processing problem than a physical one. Either way, I'd really appreciate any tips for how to cope now, while I'm on the road. I'm on an extended business trip. Possibly relevant: - I have no problem hearing quiet sounds, including insects that others can't hear I easily learn languages and melodies by ear and love to listen to recorded books. I take pressure off myself by telling people that I have trouble hearing.

I was in my twenties, but I felt (and acted!) , like a five year old. I am almost certain I screeched with sheer excitement upon seeing inches of fluffy, white magic not only forming a soft blanket on the ground around me, but delicately falling from the sky flaunting its unique snowflake shape. This snow spectacular was in Boston – my former residence for quite a number of years. Winter in Boston certainly can be cold and long. The snow can start before Thanksgiving and continue all the way through to Memorial Day.
During these months of chilly temperatures, apart from the typical memories of constant driveway shovelling, car windshield scraping, and leather boots waterproofing, there is one memory that has me shaking my head until this day. It has been mentioned here, here, here and here, that New Englanders consume the greatest proportion of ice cream in the USA. I have recently been reminded of my years in Boston during my recent honeymoon.
Schuler Books & Music is among the first retailers nationally to install new Espresso Book Machine. Schuler Books and Music became one of the nation's first retailers to jump into the emerging print-on-demand publishing industry when it installed a new Espresso Book Machine last week at one of its Grand Rapids stores. While customers wait and watch, the $75,000 machine at the Schuler's 2660 28th St. SE store will download, print, bind and trim a paperback with a full-color cover in less than five minutes, according to Bill Fehsenfeld, who owns the area's five Schuler Book stores with his wife, Cecile. Books eligible for printing are those authorized by the publisher and/or authors and those in the public domain --a status granted when the copyright expires, usually about 75 years after the first printing, he says.
The store is only one of six retailers in the United States to own an Espresso Book Machine sold by On Demand Books, LLC in New York City, Fehsenfeld says. "We've had a lot of interest," Fehsenfeld says. Source: Bill Fehsenfeld, Schuler Books & Music. How to Make Milk Foam (Without a Frother or a Machine!) | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn.

SU - Online : How-To: DIY Ladderball. I recently had the pleasure of playing a family game of ladderball (aka bolo toss, ladder golf) using some basic homebrew hardware, and can say firsthand – it’s good times! For those unfamiliar with the backyard sport: players throw golfball/nylon-rope bolos in attempt to hang them on a simple PVC ladder structure. It’s a surprisingly enjoyable “Ooh! So close!” Type game in the vein of horsehoes/etc, and looks to be a straightforward build. Check out the related instructable for steps on making your own.

Mushmouth | Ask Metafilter. How did you learn to express your thoughts in a way that is clear and thorough - but concise? I tend to ramble when I talk. I start out with a clear idea of what I want to say, but I end up backtracking or going off on tangents that I think help clarify or give context to my larger point. I'm often left feeling like I've only gotten my point across in a very muddy way, and I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for a listener. If I have plenty of time to edit and reframe and reword what I'm going to say (or if the communication is happening in writing) I have no trouble - speech/presentation situations are no problem. Can you give me tools to: 1) figure out exactly what I want to say, quickly; 2) say it, without equivocating or qualifying or otherwise confusing things - again, quickly?
Thanks, AskMe! Six.one.six blog. Cape Town to Traverse City: South African Winemakers Hit Old Mission's Fast Track. By Sally Goldberg Never mind culture shock. The first major crisis facing young winemaker Cornel Olivier in January, 1999, was the 80-degree temperature drop from South Africa to north Michigan. Cornel Olivier: One of the Lads How did he adjust? "After a week I switched from short to long-sleeved shirts," he recalls.
Cornel had just arrived for a winemaking internship at Chateau Grand Traverse on Old Mission Peninsula, arranged through an agricultural exchange program between Ohio State and Elsenburg Agricultural College in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The experience would change the course of his life. Four years later, in 2003, Coenraad Stassen arrived at Old Mission's Chateau Chantal from Elsenburg via the same program. Today, both are rising stars in Michigan's wine constellation.

This distiller uses the same principles of alchemy developed 1,100 years ago by Alkindus, renowned as the "father of perfume distillation. " The still has a copper frame and a cucurbit, condensing pot, and a cooling cup made from borosilicate glass--the same glass used in laboratory beakers for its durability and heat resistance. The cucurbit holds the liquid to be distilled and is heated by the oil lamp. As the liquid boils, oil vapor is produced and moves from the cucurbit through the swan-neck tube and, once it reaches the water-filled condensing pot, it is cooled and converted into a concentrated distillate.
The distiller is mounted on a walnut base and its frame is made from five copper plates secured in place with copper rivets. Imported from Spain, the distiller is embossed with "Missisipi Destil," an homage to the distilling history of the American South. 11" H x 10" W x 7" D. (4 1/4 lbs.) Lifetime Guarantee.

I bought these for our bar in Austin and immediately was put off by the quality of the leather, but had no time to return them. Now, the leather is fading badly and the drink whisk has rusted a bit despite hand washing it.
The quality of the metal otherwise is very good- the tools are heavy and well balanced and they have lasted a long time. Overall, it was a little overpriced for the quality of the leather. Also, you can't slip the leather off the handles... I tried. How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Alphabutt: Kimya Dawson: Music.
