When the track plays sped up does the pitch adj on traktor move up with it or is it just the output on the BCD?

If its moving on traktor aswell I'd say don't assign the pitch on the BCD to anything on traktor and see if its the same. I'd a similar problem where anytime I touched the pitch on the BCD the pitch on traktor would just jump up and down all over the shop; so I just left it blank and it was grand.

I just saw the back page of the Independent there... OK I am not a fan of football - at all - but I just had to read the story of how an angry mob in balaclavas camped outside wayne rooneys house, threatening to kill him if he moved to Man City.

A very sad day for football humanity

Very nice indeed. It was along time ago and I was only 17 so I had to get my mother to claim it for me. Bless. Ha

I've won quite a few things though. €50 a couple of times and a Hamper of all things. Ha.

Is the fckin business. I've been drinking it now in various strains for about 2 years and have delved more into the likes of Japanese Sencha tea over the last few months. It's known for numerous health benefits but in the last few days I was reading up on a variety called Matcha which is a powder form of green tea and is considered the most powerful antioxidant know to naturally occur - one point mentioned was that it can cure a hangover in five minutes! I bought some yesterday and can say that it most certainly made me feel considerably better than when I woke up this morning having had a bit too much wine last night. It's not cheap though, the cheapest option I could find in Dublin was 25 euro

Some info below... there is buckets of info online, this is just one of many I found from a quick google.

Prepare for the REAL Matcha Revolution...

We've all heard the hype about green tea being good for us, which also helps explain the unprecedented recent explosion of green tea drinks, foods, supplements, even deserts.

But don't be fooled by clever back-of-bottle marketing such as, "Now with EGCG!" or the overused, "Contains green tea antioxidants!"....which makes it sounds like literally anything containing a microscopic amount of low-grade green tea extract is going to give you the kind of health benefits that true high-quality, whole-leaf, shade-grown, fresh Tencha-grade green tea can provide.

Not even close, no contest: imagine the difference between drinking water containing a small amount of old, processed, diluted orange juice-derived flavoring, compared to eating a...well, a whole organic orange, and the you get the idea.


Fortunately, more and more people are learning what many in Japan have known for centuries: to get the full benefits of the amazing green tea plant, the maximum impact, you have to "get the best and drink it whole": Matcha. Real, ceremonial-grade, Japanese Matcha.

And now that Matcha is finally starting to become available in the West, we may be at the very early rumblings of a Matcha Revolution -- based on the research and reported health benefits from this incredible green powder.

What is Matcha?

Real Matcha is the very high-quality, stone-ground powdered form of select shade-grown Japanese green tea leaves. It's like regular green tea on steroids, and then some: rather than just drinking green tea leaf-infused water, when you consume Matcha, you're actually getting the whole green tea leaf, and a very high quality green tea leaf at that (real Matcha is shade-grown, carefully prepared, hand-picked Tencha-grade), so you're drinking the full benefits of the best of the green tea leaf itself.

Countless studies over the years have illustrated the health benefits of green tea, and recently it seems like there's an explosion of new green tea findings: from lowering your risk of stroke to lowering cholesterol to fighting cancer to fighting cavities and gum disease to increasing mental clarity without the jittery effects of coffee. The list of potential benefits seems endless (we encourage you to do some research yourself...the massive list of researched health benefits is staggering).

But here's the amazing thing that many don't know: high-grade Matcha green tea in particular is exponentially more powerful than regular brewed green teas, so it's like amplifying all of these wonderful health and mental benefits in as little as one comparative serving. For example, Matcha green tea has approximately 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice, even higher than blueberries, and its unique EGCG catechin element (the subject of much current research) is one of the most powerful immune-boosting and anti-cancer substances known.

And guess what? Matcha green tea contains approximately 137 times the amount of EGCG as regular steeped green tea. Wow!

Imagine what that does to your brain and body if you drink it every day.

Of course, there's no one single cure all "superfood" that you should take at the expense of an overall healthy diet. Yet, you do have to wonder why the Japanese (particularly ritualistic Matcha-drinkers) seem to live longer than people elsewhere. And just how those Japanese monks are able to focus and concentrate intensely for 12-hour marathon meditation sessions. Maybe it's because they always drink matcha at the beginning of these sessions? Matcha is an integral, interwoven part of the religion, the meditation and ceremonies.

And they've been doing it for over 800 years.

But there are numerous other health benefits that you might not know about: several studies have shown it possess anti-viral and antibiotic properties, which assist with everything from digestion to killing harmful bacteria to helping prevent colds and flus. It increases your mental alertness and sharpness while also providing an almost meditative focusing, calming quality, which explains just why those monks in Asia have consumed Matcha religiously (pun intended), for over 800 years right before their long meditation sessions and ceremonies. It also has a naturally high vitamin C, flouride and chlorophyl content, among other vitamins and minerals, and nine times the beta carotene of spinach.

The list goes on, and we could go on. What else can we say other than it's good stuff.

So where to find Matcha? Good news, finally...


Fortunately, thanks to the recent health discoveries about Matcha combined
with increased awareness and outright demand in the West, a couple companies have now made it possible to get real Japanese high-grade Matcha outside of Japan.

But be warned: not all products labeled "Matcha" or "green tea powder" are real, true, high-quality shade-grown properly prepared tencha-based Matcha! The importance of the quality and sourcing cannot be overstated: some are just ground low-quality Sencha or Bancha leaves, some even add coloring or flavoring or sweeteners...even MSG! YUCK!

Forget the name of the shop - its a tea shop on Wicklow St, think it's a French name... roughly opposite Cornucopia.

Its really quality stuff - read somewhere else that it has much more caffeine than coffee but slow release over 4-6 hours, they say drink one cup in the morning and last hours. I didn't bother drinking coffee yesterday or today having had Matcha already.

Cheers, I'll have to pick me up some of that during the week. I've exams coming up so I could do with the extra fizz.

Oh and you need either a bamboo whisk or small electric frother, I tried using a regular metal kitchen whisk and it didn't mix well, they are charging feckin almost 30 quid though for the bamboo whisk in that shop... I found an old frother that I paid about ten euro for and that works perfectly.

A video on youtube showing the preparation.
