The following correspondence originally took place here, within the public Facebook group, “Tavalon Tea“…

Chris C.: TeaTube Episode 6 – Chillin’ with Iced Tea. Tea Sommelier Chris Cason keeps it cool explaining how to make the best iced tea, and then takes on the Golden Arches and others, coming up with better, healthier and less expensive versions of their signature iced teas. For more information, check out http://www.tavalon.com/blog.

Diane F.: Love the bling! Ice, Ice, Baby!

Rayn: Great video! Very informative, as usual! And, amusing, as well! Skillz!

I like your title as “Tea Sommelier.” I’ve always wondered if there was a special word to describe what you do. I used to be a “barista,” making and serving espresso, so I figured that the Tea World would also be using Romantic language in order to create that Olde World feeling.

Hannah C.: I love these. Keep ’em brewing.

Chris C.: Thanks!

Gary L.: Love the video. Just one question: How high were you for the bling segment?

Chris C.: High tea?

Elizabeth V.: fantastic opening and closing shots! Your camera gal was great!

Debbie C.: mmm that peach iced tea sounds yummy

Sarah C.: Very informative and entertaining as usual 🙂 Love the Mc Nasty comment!

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family…

Sara: I always thought Bill Cosby was the voice behind Speak & Spell…

“Favorite childhood characters of all time: Velveteen Rabbit, Speak & Spell, Rainbow Bright, Braveheart Lion, and Jem”

Rayn: Awww, man…The memories…where do I begin? The Velveteen Rabbit…You inspired years worth of trying to animate my stuffed animals with pure thought (although it never really seemed to work)! And, Speak & Spell! I miss writing curses into you! Rainbow Bright! I remember braiding your hair! Braveheart Lion! You were the best, of course! And, Jem, you were truly outrageous!

Sara: Ahhh sweet Velveteen Rabbit, how I miss you so. I used to carry him everywhere with me. I’ll never forget when Shawn ripped his head off and I just cried and cried and thought he killed him and then Mommy sewed his head back on and all balance was restored in the world.

Kristina F.: I always wanted a speak and spell but I had to play with other peoples….JEM!!!!!! I actually found my Jem dolls the other day. I have the Misfit dolls too! They are all naked though….he he

Sara: LMAO! How did the Barbies and Jems of every little girl end up naked? And The Misfits! “We are the Misfits, our songs are better! We are the Misfits, and we’re gonna get her!”

Fiore M.: Kristina used to have Jem’s cassette tape, with Jem’s song on one side and a Misfits song on the other side. I remember listening to it in awe.

Discussing Baxter’s Avian-Flu-Virus-Tainted Influenza “Vaccines”

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Baxter, the Company Responsible for “Accidentally” Contaminating “Vaccines” With Deadly Avian Flu, Seeks Swine Flu Sample to Begin Work On Vaccine“…

Baxter Seeks Swine Flu Sample

Rayn: Baxter Seeks Swine Flu Sample to Begin Work On Vaccine:
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2009-04-27/news/0904260184_1_swine-flu-vaccine-makers-bird-flu

It has only been a little over a month since the pharmaceutical company, Baxter International, was caught red-handed attempting to distribute Influenza vaccines contaminated with deadly live Avian Flu Virus to 18 different countries around the world. It was soon discovered by INDEPENDENT MEDIA SOURCES that Baxter International just so happens to own the rights to “Celvapan,” the world’s first cell-culture based H5N1 (avian flu) pandemic vaccine! So, why on Earth would Baxter be chosen to head efforts for the creation of a Swine Flu Vaccine? And, why, in our right minds, would we allow this despicable company obtain a sample of the swine flu virus? This is a chilling exercise in what BIG PHARMA “medicine” is really all about: MANUFACTURING DISEASE, then PROFITING from a MONOPOLISTIC, PATENTED “CURE.” When is enough enough? When will we FINALLY DECIDE TO STOP these SOULLESS, PARASITIC, VAMPIRE-COMPANIES from FEEDING OFF OF OUR HUMANITY!?

Kareem S.: I’m tryin to spread the word about how the government and big business operate too. Alot of people dont know about stuff like that Rayn, keep it up.

Rayn: Thanx. I appreciate your positive message. And, I’m glad to hear that you are also speaking out against the non-living entities (governments, corporations, organizations, etc.) that seek to enslave us. Not everyone is ready for the truth to remove them from their illusion-based comfort zone.

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “In Phoenix, First Amendment Doesn’t Apply to Individuals Critical of Police State“…

Phoenix, Arizona Police Patrol Unit

Rayn: Phoenix Police Raid Home of Blogger Whose Writing is Highly Critical of Them:
http://photographyisnotacrime.com/2009/04/01/phoenix-police-raid-home-of-blogger-whose-writing-is-highly-critical-of-them/

Would it surprise you to know that, apparently, the First Amendment is reserved ONLY for those citizens that choose NOT to criticize the American Police State? If your answer is “yes,” then you obviously haven’t been paying attention!

Keith M.: “Everything Else Is Damned Let Them With Ears Understand!” Why Do We Keep Putting Faith in Man?! Why Why Why?

Rayn: Because people have been conditioned to believe that it is in their best interest to submit themselves to a vampire system that seeks to suck their blood!

Discussing the Desire to Rise Against the Tyranny of the American Police State

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Rise Against the Tyranny of the American Police State!“…

2009-04-03-discussing-the-desire-to-rise-against-the-tyranny-of-the-american-police-state

Rayn: I am sickened by the AMERICAN POLICE STATE. When will we RISE AGAINST the TYRANNY of EVIL, LYING, ABUSIVE, POWER-HUNGRY, JUSTICE-PERVERTING COPS? These COWARDLY, MURDEROUS, HIRED THUGS bring SHAME to what should be an HONORABLE PROFESSION! They are TOO WEAK-WILLED and MORALLY-COMPROMISED to “SERVE & PROTECT” the PEOPLE. The “PEACE OFFICER” has morphed into the “LAW ENFORCEMENT” CHARLATAN, who believes he is a JUDGE!

We must expose these cowardly frauds to full public scrutiny, or they will continue to commit human rights violations under the guise of “fighting crime.”

Keith: Make a Website about them! And give all the pig’s Rabies!!!!

Rayn: Euthanization would be much more effective long term solution, but I digress. I’m way ahead of you on the website concept. I’m already in the process of compiling data and evidence. There is NO VALOR or HONOR in these COWARDS, THIEVES and FREEDOM-HATERS. Their MAN-MADE RULES and REGULATIONS have BETRAYED us!

Sara: Welcome back to Essex County, where a PIG can be a PIG.

Rayn: Yes. These filthy swine pollute the streets of America with the corruption of their lies, prejudice, brutality, and injustice.

Keith M.: Still Sickened By This!
