Don't we want to spread tea culture?
Non-violent assimilation, eh?

So crazy it just might work.

Yeah she's right, the subtle-subliminal approach is more effective...

Let them think they are in control ;)

You guys are cracking me up. :lol:

I want to enbolden the newbies so we have good places to drink tea all over the country.

It's both an altruistic and a selfish motivation. The newbies today could have tea empires five years from now or living in Taipei with competition winning tea farmer friends...all inspired by formative discussions on Tea Chat. Right?

Different methods for measuring ITDs

* For an abrupt stimulus such as a click, either onset or offset ITDs are measured. An onset ITD is the time difference between the onset of the signal reaching two ears, whilst an offset ITD looks at the time difference between the offset of the signal reaching each of the ears.
* A transient ITD can be measured when using a random noise stimulus and is calculated as the time difference between a set peak of the noise stimulus reaching the ears.
Yup, real ITDs (in humans, anyway) are used to determine where a sound originates, along the horizontal axis. Science is fun, eh?

Hmmm, Angela might feel less non-violent if she reads the August Drinking thread. :twisted:

Surprised no one has gone for Iconic Tea Demigods. :shock:

I should have worded that more carefully.

Tea people in mosh pits. :lol:

Cyn, Chip, and Mary Can you imagine Tea Expo as a mosh pit?

Pentox, tea is generally considered a synonym for civilized.

Jeez...now I sound like my grandmother.

There were several times I was so caffeinated at the Expo that moshing was an option. But not at the Harney booth.

Anywhere Chris Cason is, moshing is definitely possible. :)
