PPL facing fines after straying from procedure after storm
Posted: 6:08 PM EDT Oct 31, 2013 Updated: 7:24 PM EDT Oct 31, 2013
The state says PPL didn't follow procedure during the October 2011 snowstorm and now it has to pay the price.
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has finalized a settlement with PPL that includes a $60,000 penalty.
The PUC says during that storm PPL transferred a restoration crew from a higher priority job in order to restore service to a lower priority job.
That's a violation of PUC regulations.

Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit
Help your community kids today.
Help yourself to a tax credit in April.
We appreciate your interest in helping young children in Boulder. The Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit Program provides a state tax credit for contributions made to a qualifying child care organization or fund.

And you don't even have to have children to take advantage of it.
Your donation gives kids access to quality child care
This area has on average the fourth highest child care cost of any community in Colorado. As a result moderate- to low-income families face challenges in finding and paying for quality care. Quality care is so important for the critical development which happens in the early years. Your individual or business financial contribution helps make this care more accessible through the child care subsidy program, which provides financial assistance to help eligible, low-income families pay for quality child care.

Tired old B &B
On initial appearance, you arrive at the reception hatch, of which the desk is based in the 'breakfast room'.
We were given our room key and made it up the 4 flights of stairs, no mean feat with a wheezing asthmatic wife. Finally getting the electric key card to open the door to our room.
The double bed is of the 4ft 3/4 type, not a true double as expected, knowing how my wife likes to starfish, I spent the night wedged against the wall. The wooden headboard looked as though a dog had been scratching it. The room was 'clean' although I didn't investigate too far from only what was visible, under the bed looked dusty. The wardrobe area allowed us to hang our clothing up, but its not very long, my suit jacket touched the bottom (and creased), we used the hooks in the bathroom for my wife's knee length summer dress. Tired bedding and tired carpets finished the room off. Breakfast reviews weren't overly promising and from what we saw, felt that venturing into Victoria for an alternative option was wiser. I'd have been happier paying slightly less with a room only no breakfast option. Overall, we had a comfortable night but this isn't a place to write home about. Won't be staying here again.

Jubilee Hotel
Very basic, budget accommodation, you get what you pay for.
The decor is tired and my single room was the size of a shoe cupboard, I paid for an un-suite, which in hindsight was a waste as the room was so small you couldn't turn in the shower without the curtain sticking to you, also the showerhead was so blocked only a trickle of water came out. Plus points for a fresh towel and room cleaned daily, staff helpful and attentive, also a convenient five minute walk from Victoria Station in a nice area. Fine for a weekend on the cheap, not recommended for a proper holiday.

The man one the front desk was very nice.
Welcoming and accommodating (offered to carry our bags up the 6 flights of stairs ) but in the morning at breakfast the ladies all looked unhappy didn't smile or talk actually looked bored. The breakfast was strawberry yogurt and white cold toast. There was cereal dispenser in the corner of the room but due to stoney looks from staff my daughter didn't want to go and help herself and it wasn't offered. The hotel was very cheap and we only slept there so would go again but eat out for breakfast to avoid the staff. (which we did on the second day. )

Poor experience
Whilst the room was clean, the TV didn't work properly, the wifi didn't work and when I checked they said it was due to high demand (at 9pm) however, as I couldn't sleep due to noises in the next door room, I tried the wifi at 4am and still couldn't connect!!
Convenient and value for money
Close to Victoria coach and train station and value for money (included breakfast although we didn't eat it).
Helpful staff - even with a late night request. Room was very small and warm even in November but did what it needed to.

Hot place to avoid
The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly but that's all the positive.
It was very expensive for what we got. Breakfast was poor (jam on white toast). The room was tiny and very very hot... And very loud noise from the heater or the ventilation... Over all it wasn't a very nice place to stay at all.
Read More Less
Good value but.....
A last minute stay and, to be fair, it met my requirements.
Basic but clean with simple continental breakfast (limited choice). Was on top floor and some may find that too difficult. Was also kept awake by severe knocking of heating/radiator through the night; was going to tell staff in the morning but he was on phone when I left and wasn't in a position to listen. Fair value but I wouldn't stay again if I had a choice.

Pleasant Stay
Don't usually stay anywhere at the cheaper end of the market, but as the wife was away and I was travelling alone I booked in at the Jubilee Hotel for just £ 47 including breakfast.
Room was small as expected, but was clean and tidy. Bed was surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast was good, toast with cereals and yoghurts etc. No full English of course, not at that price. Overall a pleasant stay and for a short duration a decent place to stay for the price.

Here's what happened: A police chase in Jackson, Mississippi, ended with the suspect's van crashing into a police cruiser on Monday. The officer in the car was injured but is in stable condition, while the suspect fled the scene.
Get ready for the most intense season of So You Think You Can Dance yet.
In an exclusive first look at season 12 of the dance competition, the judges explain the reality show's new twist, in which the dancers are separated into two categories.
"We're looking for the top 10 stage dancers, which includes tap, ballroom, ballet, contemporary, and the top 10 street dancers – salsa, street, tango and, of course, all the hip-hop," says show creator Nigel Lythgoe. "Then we join them together and all hell's gonna break loose."

It'll be a lifelong duet on the dance floor for Stephen "Twitch" Boss and Allison Holker, who were married Tuesday in Paso Robles, Calif.
Fittingly, the So You Think You Can Dance costars tied the knot at a winery owned by the show's producer and judge, Nigel Lythgoe, who joined the happy couple to Tweet photos of their "rustic chic" big day.
Added Holker: "It's official. I'm Mrs. Boss. We got married," she Tweeted.

Introduction to JSON in Perl
JSON has become a popular data representation format, and can been seen as the successor of XML which used to be the most popular format used for data exchange between systems. Notable examples of JSON being used for data representation are Facebook Graph API & Flickr API, amongst many others. Javascript frameworks like jQuery & and the likes have in-built support for automatic handling of JSON responses in AJAX calls.
JSON Parsing in Perl
Like most of the Perl modules JSON module is found on CPAN, which under the hood has a C API (JSON::XS) as well as Pure-Perl API (JSON:PP) which is used in case the C-API is unavailable, the C API being faster of the two.
Now let's see an example:
Open http://graph.facebook.com/pradeep.deepz in your web browser and you'll get the following content.
Code: Perl
Name: Pradeep Deepz & locale: en_IN
JSON generation in Perl
Like we parse JSON we may also output data in JSON format, like example for AJAX calls, for data exchange with other systems, etc.
Code: Perl

From the carefully placed microphones to the stringed instruments in the hands of Ricky Skaggs and the six members of Kentucky Thunder, the stage of the Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino was clearly set Friday for an evening of bluegrass music.
Had that been the bill, it would have been a fine show of prodigious talent playing the music Skaggs has been mastering since his youth.

Digital Economy Bill could see Google blocked, Wikileaks shut down
- April 09, 2010
- DEBIll rushed through before election
- May block Google, shut down Wikileaks
- Illegal downloaders face life bans
ILLEGAL downloaders could soon be banned from using the internet for life after a controversial bill was passed in the UK's Lower House of Parliament.
Sky News reported the Digital Economy Bill aims to stop people from illegally downloading copyrighted material from the internet, but critics argue it could have far greater powers and be used to censor and block free speech by ruling politicians.
The bill was rushed through the legislature before the dissolution of Parliament next Monday, ahead of next month's national election.
It was passed by 189 votes to 47 after concessions were agreed that saw the government drop a clause that allowed it sweeping powers to block sites.
But the amendment to another clause means that it could still be possible to block a site, if court approval was given.
Lawmakers who opposed the bill said it was right to do something about illegal downloads but that the new powers were too far-reaching.
One suggested that a search engine even as huge as Google could potentially be blocked.
Technology blogs claimed that the law would be way off the mark.
Techcrunch's Mike Butcher said: "In trying to support the old music industry models and tackle illegal file-sharing, the #DEBill, as it's known on Twitter, is poised to produce a new culture.
"That of legal letters from music industry bodies to (Internet Service Providers), bewildered householders and, no doubt, a manner of internet companies."
He argued that valuable sites such as Wikileaks, which carries copyrighted work, could be shut down, blocking the release of information that it was in the public's interest to know.
And paidContent:UK said: "The bill may have had a few parts stripped out and it may even be a damp squib. But the remaining 76-page Bill is still a wide-ranging piece of media and technology reform."
The Labour Party's former digital engagement minister Tom Watson earlier warned of a "catastrophic disaster", with potentially innocent people being cut off because they lived in the same building as illegal downloaders.
"It might be that a Wi-Fi network is being used in a household. You might have a parent who pays for the broadband connection and their children are illegally downloading," he said.
"The assumption in the current wording is that that parent has authorised the child to infringe copyright."

Only Governments who are scared people will find out the truth about is going on would pass these laws

I would suspect that the sale of wireless dongles may rise. It may cost more, but there is no way that politicians can ban someone from the internet, if they think that they can, then they need to learn how to use it. I also did not see any thing about Mr Conroy doing a quick trip to the UK, must have snuck out on an early morning flight.

Just to asia or russia and buy cheap CD for a $1. Whats the difference... No one monitors or stops that.... Why does the music industry not crack down on iilegal CD and FAKE designer brands in Asia... As quoted my Tim of Melbourne "This is not about copyright piracy, its about maintaining a monopoly control in a market that now anyone can enter"

Not too long ago, union leader William Huber was spending his days in a Verizon company truck, a technician on the road fixing phone and fiber-optic problems.
Back then it was a matter of repairs, or installation, or even, sometimes, persuading a customer to stay with Verizon instead of switching to cable, the archenemy.
These days, Huber has an even bigger job. Instead of climbing into a company truck, he pushes open the door of the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel in Center City, heading to another day of intense contract bargaining with Verizon Inc.
At stake?
The jobs and compensation of 45,000 technicians, customer-service agents, and office staff in eastern states from New England to West Virginia. Huber's union, Local 827 of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, represents about 5,000 of them, mostly in New Jersey.

The Beast In The Book Of Revelation. Let the Bible interpret for itself who and what are the Beast in the Book Of Revelation,only the Bible should be aloud to make that interpretation. Remember it is the Beast that will be worshiped not the (Beasts). There is only one Beast! Understanding the symbols will truly help in understanding not only who the Beast is but also what the Beast is! During this study you with the help of your very own Bible will come to understand what Jesus gave to John some 1900 years ago! Don't be afraid to ask questions,that is the only way to study Gods word. It is sad to say but only a fraction who ever read this will recognize what it really says. If you continue in this study you will find that the Book of Revelation has many fractions,they all have meaning!

Artist Dana Schutz at MIAD tonight
Artist Dana Schutz, known for her lushly painted grotesques and bizarre situations, is one of the most intriguing artists working in America today. Coming off of a critically acclaimed traveling retrospective, Schutz is visiting the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design this week and will speak publicly about her work Tuesday evening.
Schutz once told an interviewer she was hesitant to translate her strange artistic visions from drawings into paint. She was worried the work might be garish or "hugely embarrassing." »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Academics were cited as the reason by a good source.
UCLA has brought in JC punter Matt Mengel to try to fill the gap of losing its starting punter.
Mengel, from Long Beach City College, has a big leg but is inconsistent. Kicker/punter guru Chris Sailer says about Mengel: "He has an NFL leg. Strongest leg I've seen since David Buehler (USC and Dallas Cowboys). Huge in kickoffs. Big potential as a field goal kicker and punter. The sky is the limit."
Mengel will be a junior. He committed to UCLA yesterday for a preferred walk-on spot with a chance to earn a scholarship.
Sources are telling us that UCLA will have a scholarship to give to a punter for the 2015 class.

Electrical safety.
Electronics is really a huge area of study encompassing systems and technologies that control everything from a website sever to a powder prossesor and other kinds of billed service providers in a variety of products for example valves and semiconductors. The use of electronics is rather common and it is frequently the base for that development of technology. Nearly every new or old invention uses the concepts of electronics. Electronics is among the primary branches of electrical engineering.
To place electrical engineering into practice, a lot of electrical products and tools are needed to check the workability and sturdiness of complex electrical machines and systems. Electronic test devices are usually easy and cheap though you will find compound electrical gears which are harder to check. Almost every electronic device is tested before it leave the factory, take a server for example. The manufacture will test it before it goes to the retailer, they may check it before it is sold. Then depending what it is used for such as managed vps hosting the company will check it before they use it. A good business will check their electronics regularly, and may hire professionals. Some business and schools have to have a mandatory electronic checks every few years.
Electronic test devices are frequently known to as test gear. These products generate stimulus signals to be able to receive reactions from electronic devices known to as Products under Test (DUTs). With these products, the functioning from the DUTs could be proven and problems could be monitored and fixed.Electronic test equipment ranges from the simple light bulb to complex computerized and automatic testing systems. You will find various kinds of test equipment readily available for testing different products. Fundamental electronic test tools can be used for simple measurement from the capacity of current and current in keeping circuits.
Such test gear includes products for example voltmeters, ammeters, galvanometers, ohmmeters, multimeters, energy supplies, signal and pulse machines and oscilloscopes.
These products are often digital and check simple prototypes. Certain advanced and fewer generally used equipment for example clamp meters, electrometers, EMF meters, Radio wave probes and logic analyzers are utilized to test the whole process of greater and advanced components. Most test equipment used generate signals and therefore are known as signal-producing products.
Signal producing products for example frequency synthesizer, function generator, pulse generator and signal injectors are utilized to generate signals for testing the significant of electrical circuits.Electrical test tools have extensive use in fields for example aerospace, defense, automobiles and telecommunication. Using these tools works well for lowering the requirement for future quality assurance tests.

BP will likely begin the "static kill" of its troubled Gulf of Mexico oil well by Monday Aug. 2, the head of the federal spill response said in a press call this afternoon.
The rig drilling the relief well will remove a cap that had sealed off the well when the rig left the site ahead of Tropical Depression Bonnie by Wednesday, check the blowout preventer for proper operations and flush the well out, said Retired Adm. Thad Allen.
After that, another 2,000 feet of casing will be run down the relief well and cemented in place, a task that should be done by Saturday or Sunday, Allen said.
BP will be able to start pumping first heavy mud and then cement into the Macondo well, which blewout on April 20, using a line on the blowout preventer. That will push the hydrocarbons back down into the oil reservoir.
Five days after that, around August 7, BP should be able to drill into the bottom of the Macondo well from the relief well and pump mud and cement for a bottom kill. That effort will penetrate the section of the well between the center well pipe and the outer casing, called the anulus, which the static kill won't be able to access.
BP's Kent Wells explains some details of the static kill and bottom kill operations in this video from last week. The static kill part starts at about the 4:30 mark.
Pressure continues to rise slowly in the Macondo well Allen said, and is above 6,900 pounds per square inch, an indication the well casing below the sea floor has not ruptured.
Allen says it has become harder for oil skimming vessels to find large patches of oil, but there continue to be "hundreds of thousands of patches of oil" in the Gulf that clean up crews will need to continue to watch for, particularly onshore.
"We're not declaring any victory on this until that well is killed," Allen said.

A simple static site generator powered by nunjucks, LESS, and markdown.
A simple static site generator based on nunjucks, LESS and markdown.
There is a sample site provided in the "test" folder:
cd testnode ../app.js
This creates a
_site folder and copies and converts your files like this:
.md files are compiled with markdown and converted to
.html as described below. They must include metadata, at least enough to specify the title as shown below.
main.less files are compiled with LESS and converted to
.css as described below.
. or
_ are ignored.
By default each markdown file is fed to the nunjucks template at
_layouts/default.html. The HTML generated by markdown is passed as the
content variable.
Your markdown file must begin with a metadata section, like this:
---title: "This is the title of my page"---
Any metadata you provide is passed to the nunjucks layout template that renders your page.
Metadata is parsed as YAML, so you may pass as much data as you like.
Just use metadata:
---title: "This is the title of my page"layout: alternate---
This will use the nunjucks template
_layouts/alternate.html instead.
Yes, you may use the nunjucks
extends keyword to extend another layout, override blocks and all that cool stuff.
To make relative links between pages just use the standard Markdown syntax. Keep in mind each file will have a
.html extension.
To make absolute links with in your site, always preface your URL with
{{ root }}. This ensures that you can copy your
_site folder into github pages or another environment where it will be in a subdirectory and not at the actual root of the site. If you know your content will be at the root you may ignore this.
If you wish,
habit can provide you with all the information you need to build navigation links such as breadcrumb trails, lists of child pages, and "previous" and "next" links.
To take advantage, you must:
index.md page. This is considered the home page for that folder.
children property in the metadata of that page. That property should be a list of the filenames of the child pages, without the file extension, in the order you want them displayed.
Confused? Here's a simple example of a page with children:
--- title: "Advanced" children: - flossing - mortgaging - dancing --- ## Advanced life skills Here you'll learn how to really rock your life.
That page would be called
index.md, and the same folder would contain
mortgaging.md, and
Once you do this, the following additional variables are visible in your page templates:
children is an array of objects with information about the child pages, with
title and
url properties, in addition to other metadata.
parent is an object with information about the parent of the current page. For
flossing.md, this would be
index.md. For
index.md, it would be the
index.md file of the parent folder.
ancestors is an array of objects with information about all of the ancestors of the current page plus itself.
ancestors[0] is the home page (
index.md in the root directory of your proejct). The last entry in
ancestors is the current page.
previous is an object with information about the previous page with the same parent, if any.
next is an object with information about the next page with the same parent, if any.
Note that all of these objects have complete information. You may loop over
ancestors in your nunjucks template and then loop over the
children of each ancestor to create accordion-style navigation.
There is a complete example in the
test folder. Just check out
test/layouts/default.html to see how all of these variables are used.
If there is a file called
main.less, it is compiled with LESS, and the result is stored as
main.css. Yes, you may
@import more
.less files from your
main.less file. You may have multiple
main.less files in separate folders, if you are really on fire to have separate LESS compilation for them for some reason.
You may also use plain old
.css files, which are simply copied, like anything else that doesn't start with
Need static assets like fonts and images? No problem; they are automatically copied, because they are not
.less or
.md files.
habit globally:
npm install -g habit
Now you can just
cd to a folder containing the appropriate content and type:
To rebuild.
0.3.4: added a
process.exit(0) call to address a situation where
habit does not otherwise terminate in node 0.12.7 on a Mac when installed globally. Despite chasing this with
process._getActiveHandles and
process._getActiveRequests I still don't know why.
0.3.3: filename is reported when a nunjucks error occurs.
0.3.2: filename is reported when a markdown error occurs.
0.3.1: linked to github repository. No code changes.
0.3.0: linking to headings within a page is much nicer. Headings now contain anchor elements with the
anchor class, as seen on github. The
name of each heading is hyphenated, like a CSS class name. This automatically does the right thing whether the original name was "a sentence with spaces", "aCamelCaseFunctionName", or "an_underscored_function_name". If a heading contains
(, that character and everything after it is ignored when constructing the name, allowing you to easily link to documentation for a function that includes the parameters in the header. However, if two headings would otherwise have the same
2 is appended to the second one,
3 to the third one and so on.
0.2.2: just documentation fixes.
0.2.1: The "next" and "previous" properties now allow you to traverse the entire site depth-first. That is, you can read through the entire "book" by continuing to click "next."
0.2.0: metadata and navigation-building data.
0.1.6: fixed
@import in LESS.
0.1.3, 0.1.4, 0.1.5: renamed
0.1.2: global install works.
0.1.1: introduced the policy of ignoring dotfiles and
_ files, filtering markdown and LESS, and just copying everything else. This makes much more sense than a long list of special cases. This change renames the
layouts folder to
_layouts so they won't be copied.

The Future of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library Building
The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, at 9th and G streets NW, will have a major modernization to meet the needs of D.C. residents. The building, designed by modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, is a designated historic landmark. The DC Public Library is now exploring what's possible for this historic building, and what it would take to make it a spectacular central library for the city.
Learn more about the plans and share your ideas about what you would like to see in a newly renovated MLK Library.
Neighborhood Libraries
DC Public Library is building and renovating libraries across the city to provide state-of-the-art library services. To date, 15 libraries have been completely rebuilt or renovated. More projects are currently under construction, and the design process will begin for another three in 2015.
New Projects
Completed Projects
Check out the many awards the completed projects have received, or read the Library Services and Facilities plan here.
Green Buildings
The library is building environmentally friendly and sustainable libraries. Read more about the library's green designs.
Community Input
Community input is a critical part of the design process and the library has sought feedback in a numbers of ways:
- Community participation on architect selection panels
- Community meetings to get feedback during the design process
- Focus groups and surveys to learn what services a community values most
- Outreach at neighborhood meetings
- Online surveys and forums for public discussion

It sports a glistening black cupboard thin shiny black bezels, as well as a duplicate stand that is made up of round base using a Lazy Susan swivel mechanism as well as a telescoping mounting arm that provides pivot, height, and tilt adjustability.
Several of the buttons act as the GamePlus attribute, which offers a game timer and a training range to aid zero in on your own targets and hot keys for things like image presets. All three video input signals are digital (HDMI, DisplayPort, double-link DVI) and all are situated in the back of the cabinet facing down. An audio input signal as well as a headphone jack joins them. There are not any USB ports on this version, nor is there a webcam or an analog video input signal. Nevertheless, it can contain some set 2-watt speakers which can be reasonably loud but somewhat tinny sounding.
The VG248QE offers Glorious Technology, which can be actually merely a fancy name for image presets as with each Asus computer screen I Have reviewed recently. This computer screen has six presets, including Nighttime View styles, and Scenery, Standard, Theatre, Game, sRGB. Other graphic settings contain Skin Tone, Contrast, Color Saturation, Brightness, and Color Temperature.
The VG248QE has a dual-link DVI an audio cable and cable when it comes to DisplayPort and HDMI cables, but you are on your own. A three year parts, labor, and backlight warranty cover the computer screen.
For the large part, the VG248QE is a strong performer. Its colour precision was not horrible but it was not perfect either. Greens did seem to be somewhat hefty within my evaluation pictures although not heavy enough to cause tinting.
The VG248QE managed to show nearly every color of grey from the DisplayMate 64-Measure Grayscale evaluation, but darks shades of grey could happen to be a bit darker.
The VG248QE has comparatively narrow viewing angles, as is the case with the majority of TN computer screens. There was some colour transferring at around 50-degrees from the view in the base as well as centre from your side was not light.
There is no noticeable interim or picture while playing Burnout Paradise while linked to a PS3 console smearing. Outcomes were similar while playing with the PC-based Far Cry 2 and while viewing 2012 on bluray disc. Panning scenes were clear and stutter-free.
The Asus VG248QE is a competent 24-inch gaming computer screen which uses a fast 1 along with 144Hz refresh technology -ms pixel reply to provide smooth game play. Its viewing angle operation comes up short also it lacks the tools but this screen provides if easy movement management is essential. Having said that, our current Editors' Choice for midsized the BenQ XL2420TX, gaming monitors, additionally offers movement operation that was excellent and has a large number of I/O interfaces and a 3D Vision 2 kit, but nevertheless, it will set you back a few hundred dollars more.

MAC describes it as a "soft pink with gold shimmer." It is a rosy copper beige with a soft golden sheen. I was reminded of Pink Bronze pigment, actually, but obviously the finish and texture are quite different! This shade is darker and thus more pigmented, so it is more appropriate for darker skin tones–it is still subtle and easily sheer enough to work on even pale skin tones, though. After some more reflection, this is a softer version of MAC's By Candlelight Mineralize Skinfinish.Read Full Review

So, i'm 15dpo and I was supposed to get my period yesterday (the 23rd). I don't even have any pre-af spotting which I usually get the night before or the morning af is due. I've been on time ever since i've been ttc and regulated so I have my hopes up. I've had nausea, sore boobs, fatigue, dizziness sometimes and mild cramping down low. I took a test yesterday morning and 3 times today, all negatives. Not even a very faint positive. I've used the dollar store brand, answer, and first response. It's starting to frustrate me. I've heard some women don't get their bfp's until at least 16dpo. Is it more common than people think? I'm starting to think af will show up tomorrow, but i'm still keeping my hopes up for a bfp.
16dpo and frustrated!

HI Lauren,
I'm in a similar boat as you. I'm 17 DPO with no pre-AF spotting either. That is usually normal for me too. Since I went off BC 4 months ago, my cycles have been 28 days except for at trip to Italy when jet lag was most likely a factor. I was considering taking a PT tomorrow if AF still hasn't come, that will be 4 days past AF's due date.. But I'm afraid I will get BFNs too! The suspense is killing me, I keep waking up in the middle of the night with anxiety. Wish I could answer some of your questions, but I am new to this too. I just wanted you to know you are not alone!
Aww thanks Jess! I read a bunch of forum posts last night that were along the same lines... I was getting frustrated but then saw it's more common to get a positive until later. Maybe we're all late implanters. I didn't have any implantation bleeding so I don't know when it happened. I'm going to take a test tomorrow and then Saturday if I need to. Good luck and baby dust! Hopefully this is our month! :)

Doggy mommy to a little yorkie with a mind of her own. She's ready for her little sister to arrive! :)
I'm glad you got some reassurance that you may still be PG even with the false tests. At this point, I'm wondering if testing tomorrow is too early for me? I'm leaving out of town tomorrow afternoon and will have mom around us until Sunday night (she doesn't know we are TTC). I am thinking I need to know something by tomorrow and then test again Sunday when we get back. And I also want to know if I need to pack feminine products too, haha! I also didn't have implantation bleeding, well...a spot or two 7 days ago. But I heard implantation bleeding isn't very common either. Also, I have no pregnancy symptoms at all. I like to think I know my body pretty well and would feel different somehow. Nothing but a missed period so far. Am I or aren't I? That question is running on a loop in my head. Let me know your test results tomorrow, I'll share mine too. Lots of baby dust to you!
Same boat here, but with what I thought was implantation bleeding last week. I was due yesterday but got a BFN this morning. With our daughter I got a BFP the day of my missed period so I'm really not sure what is going on.
I'll update tomorrow when I test. A friend of mine who's af was due the same day as mine said she started implantation bleeding earlier this morning, so i'm wondering if I just haven't implanted yet. Now that I think about it, I did have "ovary pain" on my right side last night and a little bit today. Spavetti, good luck and baby dust! Sometimes it sucks that everyone and every pregnancy's different. I hate not knowing what's going on and having to wait!

Last month I was obsess about getting pregnant. I test myself like 15 times. All of them were negative. I was only thinking about it all month. My period came late and I was upset with myself. This month I am trying to relax a little and give my fellings and anxiety to God.
I understand you hate to wait and it is the worst thing ever but I think using the OPK and follow what you know about your body can help you concive ASAP.
Try to relax do excercise, go have fun with friends, enjoy having fun and just forget a little bit about it.
You are young and you have time I think your levels are high so I think it you might be.
Wish you the best
Lauren, keep me posted! I'm at 12 dpo now so it might be too early to test even though AF is late.
Still no af but I decided not to test until Saturday so that if I am the hcg has time to produce. Eryan2008, the funny thing is I didn't think about it and just let my cycle do it's thing. I didn't start thinking about it until Tuesday when my period didn't come the day before. I've been on time the past few cycles and have been using OPK's so it was a surprise when af didn't come. I've calmed down a bit about the obsessing. Haha. I'm living life like normal and keeping myself distracted so it's not on my mind all the time.

7-Worth It

Dove Caramels & Chocolate Covered Almonds
I tried the Dove chocolate last year and was pleased with it. It's kind of a slick chocolate, both in packaging and in texture. They market this as silky, and I'm not sure if it's the level of fat in it or the size of the particles of cocoa solids ... or perhaps both.
While I'm not that keen on the plain bars, I got a note from some marketing folks offering me some of their other products and I figured, "what they hey!"
The Dove line is built around their plain dark and milk chocolate, sold in single-serve bars and the more popular "Promises" which I think of as a hybrid of Hershey's Kisses and Perugina Baci (pure chocolate plus a little note in the wrapper).
These aren't called anything ... just Smooth Milk Chocolate with Caramel. The bronzy foil holds a little rounded chocolate square with a filling of a caramel-like goo.
The wrappers also have little notes inside. Mine said things like Smile at yourself in the mirror and Sing along with the elevator music ... honey, I don't need my candy telling me to sing out loud in public. I'm sure the folks at the Ralph's on Glendale Blvd. are well aware of me belting out the 80s tunes when I visit and would probably hide these candies from me if they knew what they were telling me to do.
The chocolate here is smooth and creamy, perhaps a little sticky and sweet. The caramel filling doesn't really have enough of the true caramel qualities I like, such as a burnt sugar taste or soft chew. I wanted more salt. But the whole thing is tasty and certainly worth the price of admission (free with my comp). But the thing that's most appealing to me was how photogenic they were.
6 out of 10
The second item that's much more up my alley is the Smooth Milk Chocolate Covered Almonds. I think the publicist who sent these to me intended to give me the dark chocolate ones, as there were two bags of milk chocolate in my little box. Oh well. The almonds are rather good, not as large and choice as the Trader Joe's version that I often pick up, but there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. They're nicely toasted and crunchy. The chocolate is sweet and offsets the almond's toasty flavors pretty well.
7 out of 10
At a regular price of $3.50 a bag, I don't think I'd get these, except maybe if I was stuck in an airport and looking for something to bring on the plane. Both bags are easy to open and reclose, which is always a plus. I would probably pick them up on sale if I could get them for something like $2.50 though.

Snickers Shrek
Here are some things I know: Novelty is not necessarily a good thing. Being gross does not make it tasty. Shrek is funny.
I got an email from Marvo at The Impulsive Buy alerting me that there were some new Snickers and M&Ms to celebrate Shrek the Third. I spotted the bags of minis at Target but just couldn't bring myself to buy a whole bag, so I was happy to see the single bars at 7-11 the following week. The wrapper has a little drawing of a cross section and an arrow pointing to it with the words With Green Shrek Filling - Same Snickers Taste" next to it.
Can I just say that I'm wondering if they include smell in that?
It smelled a bit like feet to me. Perhaps Shrek's feet, I can't be sure, as he's an animated character and likely smells more like pixels or ozone. Maybe "feet" is too strong. Latex balloons ... yes, that's it: chocolate, peanuts and rubber gloves.
It tasted the same as the regular Snickers ... but perhaps a little peppery. (It's not Wasabi that makes it green, is it?)
I'm just glad they didn't cover it in a green "white chocolate." A Snickers bar without the green filling gets an 8 out of 10. This one only gets a 7 out of 10. Until it goes on sale at five for a dollar later this year.
The other movie tie in are Ogre-Sized M&Ms Peanut Butter ... which might be similar to the M&Ms Peanut Butter Speck-tacular Eggs. Can anyone confirm that?

M&M and Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Eggs
In my bargain hunting last weekend I was able to secure bags of the M&Ms Peanut Butter Speck-tacular Eggs and the Reese's Pieces Pastel Eggs at rock bottom prices.
I picked up the M&Ms Peanut Butter Speck-tacular Eggs mostly because folks are still commenting on the Wonka Oompas (currently fruity) post lamenting the loss of the old Peanut Butter Oompas.
First, a rewind to the old Peanut Butter Oompas (see wrapper here) from Wonka. Introduced in 1972 after the film Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, they were larger than M&Ms but the same ovoid shape. The top half was peanut butter and the bottom half was mockolate then it was all covered with a crisp candy shell. (There may have been other flavor varieties.) The separation of the peanut butter and chocolate meant that you could cleave them in half in your teeth if you wanted, or suck the shell off and then melt away the chocolate creme to have only the stiff peanut butter left. I liked them and recall buying them rather often (there was no such thing as a Peanut Butter M&M at the time and Reese's Pieces didn't come along until 1978).
I was hoping that the larger format of the Speck-tacular Eggs would be similar to the old Oompas.
The normal M&Ms Peanut Butter have a core of peanut butter and a covering of milk chocolate then a shell. A little larger than a regular M&M, they average about the same size as a Peanut M&M. The Speck-Tacular Eggs are larger still and thus have a larger proportion of the peanut butter center since the chocolate coating seems about the same thickness.
It's been at least thirty years since I've had the old Peanut Butter Oompas, so I can't say that the Speck-Tacular Eggs are as good or even the same, but the proportions feel better to me. I'm going to say that this is the best modern day equivalent to the old Peanut Butter Oompas.
The other fun aquisition were the equally large Reese's Pieces Pastel Eggs.
I don't eat Reese's Pieces much, though I do recall loving them as a kid. I used to buy bags of M&Ms and mix them with Reese's Pieces. I could always pick the Reese's Pieces out on my tongue by feel because their shells were ultrasmooth. (Ah, the ways I used to amuse myself.)
While the Speck-Tacular Eggs were rather uneven in size, the Reese's Pieces Pastel Eggs are exceptionally regular. The colors are pretty much the same as the Hershey's Pastel Eggs, though a little more egg shaped (with a pointier end).
The shells on the Reese's Pieces Pastel Eggs are thicker than the regular Reese's Pieces and provide a satisfying sharp crunch. The larger mass of peanut butter creme allowed me to really taste it. It has a slight floral taste to it and reminds me a bit of eating peanut butter cookie dough. Sweet with a little dash of salt. Pretty smooth and not as roasted tasting as the M&Ms Speck-Tacular Eggs.
I liked both varieties of eggs equally well. As appearances go, I preferred the Reese's. But the freak-tacular price of only 52 cents for the Speck-Tacular Eggs is hard to argue with. They are both being added to my repertoire of Easter Candies to pick up at ridiculous prices.
Note: both products are certified Kosher.

I've been puzzling over this candy bar for years. It's called the Eat-More and is sold in Canada. It was originally made by Lowney but later Nabisco took them over but since 1987 they've been made by Hershey's.
The description of Dark Toffee Peanut Chew sounded to me like the inside of a Goldenberg's Peanut Chew (now Chew-ets), which I find pretty spectacular and the prospect of having that without the mockolate made me want one.
Amber brought two for me direct from Canada, and in the King Size to boot. I have to say that the bar isn't that attractive out of the package, which is probably
The King Sized bar is huge - 8.5" long. The slab is soft and chewy and has a pleasant smoky and roasted peanut scent. It's not a caramelly chew exactly as the bar contains chocolate, which gives the toffee a bit of a stiff crumble.
It's actually really satisfying and not at all sticky sweet. The 75 gram bar contains 8 grams of protein from the peanuts, so it's a pretty satisfying snack. I wouldn't say I wanted to eat more after about half the bar, but it was easy to just eat more later. As for the comparison to the inside of a Goldenberg's, it's not as smooth and doesn't have that molasses kick. But the dark and robust flavors will probably appeal to Goldenberg's lovers.
Since there's nothing else in the States to compare this to, I have to recommend anyone who has been looking for a dark chewy toffee with nuts and chocolate to seek out this bar. It's odd that something that I consider an "all weather" bar comes out of Canada. Since there's no chocolate coating, it should travel well and stand up to temperature extremes.

Koakuma Goth Puccho
Koakuma from UHA are a curious little candy. They've taken their wildly popular Puccho and combined them with the flavors and colors of the Gothic Lolita style popular in Japan. Koakuma means "little devil" and the package sports the little character all over it. With a heart shaped face, little bat wings and on the bottom of the pleated bag, she rides a trident like a broom.
These little candies come individually wrapped inside larger pouches. The taffy base is black with rich colored stripes and then studded with gummis.
Koakuma Peach Rose
I'm not usually fond of peach flavored candies. Don't misunderstand, I'm a huge fan of fresh peaches, canned peaches and even dried peaches. There's just something about many peach flavored candies I'm just not fond of.
No matter, because these don't taste like peaches. It smells like peaches, but it tastes like mildly tart floral berries.
The little gummy bits provide and interesting texture to the bouncy chew. It was very fresh and soft and pretty darn good. I was really surprised I ate most of the bag.
Koakuma Blueberry Rose
I've never really been that impressed with blueberry as a flavor. I often get it confused with raspberry in candies, and this one is no exception. It tastes like raspberry and a little floral note thrown in there with the rose. But I have to say that I'm impressed that the color actually looks like blueberries instead of like something pharmaceutical.
Again, bouncy and chewy and fresh and thoroughly enjoyable.
Both of them were nice, but the specific flavors just weren't my favorites. I think I'd like a strawberry with rose or maybe a grape and violet. I bet they'd make a fun gift for someone who's intro Goth though. (Who doesn't like candies that match their nail polish?) There is another flavor called Cassis & Grape that I saw on JList for $1.80 (which has lots of other Gothic Lolita cosplay stuff to complete the look).
Here are some other reviews:

Kisses Coconut Creme
I saved this review for after Easter. They package makes them look like an Easter product, but after having those Godiva eggs (even if they were freaktacularlly expensive), there was just no way that they were going to compare well. Now that they're a distant memory, I feel that I can give the Hershey's Coconut Creme Kisses my undivided attention.
I have to say that I loved the blue wave design on the foil. It was tropical and also different enough from the other foils out there that I could guess that this was coconut.
Inside the foil was a molded Kiss with a soft creme filling of coconut.
The shell of the Kisses were rather greasy. This wasn't as noticeable when I chilled the Kisses (thanks for the suggestion!), but the chocolate outside still felt a little weird on the tongue, no matter the temperature. A little cool, a little less crumbly that the regular Kiss chocolate and of course it tasted like coconut before you got to the center.
The filling was interesting. The creme part was actually more like creme and less like fondant than the Cherry Cordial Creme I tried before. This actually seemed a bit buttery. There were also crisp little flecks of coconut in there.
It's not at all like an Almond Joy center.
I enjoyed them, but I don't think I'm a fan. The greasiness is just offputting. It makes the little flags translucent and of course makes my fingers oily if I linger too long while unwrapping. I enjoyed the nutty taste, but I know some other people didn't like them. I found the lighter flavor of coconut like munching on some chocolate and suntan lotion. Like a summer at the pool. (Okay, maybe that's not an appealing image, but it's been so gloomy and overcast here in Los Angeles lately, maybe I'm just looking for something 'sunny'.)
Previous Kiss Reviews: Cherry Cordial Creme, Orange Creme Kisses, Caramel Kisses, Peanut Butter Kisses, Candy Cane Kisses & Mint Kisses and Chocolate Truffle Kisses.
Note: These are limited edition, but it's unclear if they are an Easter item. Some stores will put all the Limited Edition stuff on sale with the Easter goodies (that's how I got my KitKat Mini Dark Mint), so keep a look out ... when in doubt just ask!
UPDATE April 12, 2009: Coconut Kisses returned again for srping 2009. Since some folks have noted it in the comments, I did taste this years version and agree, they're not greasy. Perhaps Hershey's rectified the ingredient/production issue that was making them that way.

Peeps Mash Ups
Folks are obsessed with Peeps around this time of the year. As I've stated before, I love the idea of Peeps, I just don't really enjoy eating them. So I thought I'd try to improve my experience by creating some Peeps Mash-Ups. These aren't full-blown recipes but more of a "dry fondue" with some items I had lying around:
Peeps Rocks - here I've mashed my Peep into some Strawberry Pop Rocks.
First, when mashing a Peep, it helps to pull it apart. This way you have two sticky halves for picking up other candy goodness as well as alleviating the issue of "double dipping" if you're mashing with a buddy.
When I mashed the Pop Rocks into this fresh Peep, the rocks started snapping immediately. (You can't see the noise in the photo, but it's cracklin' away, trust me.)
The cotton-candy-like flavor of the strawberry goes really well with the flavorless Peep. Light and refreshing. The pops give it a little sizzle.
Peeps Nerds - when you look at it, a Peep is really just a giant spongy Nerd with a pointy nose. Oh, and eyes. Nerds may have eyes in their little cartoon versions on the packaging, but not on the real candies like Peeps do.
I wasn't really fond of this flavor combination, or the colors. The red and green (cherry & watermelon) looked too Christmasy. The taste combo was pretty good though. The crunch of the Nerds gave the spongy marshmallow a good texture and the zap of tartness also balanced out the sweetness of the Peep.
Peeps & Mini M&Ms - this is a natural combo and the colors couldn't look better together if I tried. The little M&Ms adhere really well to the Peep's exposed marshmallow. The sweet chocolate has a good crunch though it might be a little too sweet.
You could probably try mini dark chocolate baking chips for a less sweet experience (though you'd lose the crunch). The little tube they come in is especially easy for mashing on the go, just press the stickiness to the opening and tip the M&Ms Minis into it.
Peep Tarts - I have to admit that I was especially proud of the name for this one. Originally I wanted to use Pixy Stix for the powder, but I couldn't find any (I try not to keep them in the house, for sanity's sake). So I took the powder from an extra Topps Baby Bottle Pop. The Citrus Craze powder is already less sweet because it's also intended to be "mashed up" with the lollipop top, so it adds flavor and tartness without more throat-burning sugar.
I'm not really sold on the combo, but after eating everything pictured here within about 15 minutes I had a stomach ache. Gah, I'm getting another one just typing this up!
So, what are your ideas for Peeps Mash-ups - either theoretical ones, or ones that you actually do?

Topps Baby Bottle
So I'm reading Technology Marketing magazine last month (okay, not really, I just found the article because it was about candy and it came up on a Google News Alert) and there was an article about Topps and their new products. But what shocked me, seriously shocked me, was the first part of the opening paragraph:
Say what? The Baby Bottle Pop is that popular (I have no idea what holds the number 1 spot in the adults non-chocolate segment ... I'm guessing something from Jelly Belly)?
So why haven't I had them? It appears that they were introduced in the late 90s, a bit after my candy experimentation stage. But I have a duty to Candy Blog to keep up with the kids, you know. First, I had to find them. This involved stooping down and looking at the bottom racks in the candy aisle at the drug stores and finally at 7-11 where I was able to find the "classic" version in a flavor combo that seemed good to me. I picked up Citrus Craze and Strawberry.
You may be wondering what a Baby Bottle is. It's a little bottle, about the size of a small baby food jar, filled with a powdered candy topped with a hard candy nipple top. The top unscrews and has a "stem" that allows you to hold onto the top as you lick it to get it sticky and then dip it into the bottle to coat it with the sour, flavorful powder. The nipple pop has a plastic dome to keep it clean when you're not eating.
I was expecting a grainy powder like Pixy Stix. Instead it's much finer and more flavorful.
The Citrus Craze powder is quite tart and actually has a lot more flavor than I expected. Instead of just sour, it had some orangey flavors. It still tasted pretty much like Tang. It looks like Tang, too. The pop itself is rather bland and sweet, with a swirl of yellow and orange. The combo of the two is really good! The tangy powder seems more zesty because of the bland background of the sweet pop. Having the dipping pop made of hard candy makes far more sense than the Lik-a-Maid which had a compressed dextrose stick that got soggy pretty quickly.
As you eat the pop and there's less powder, it gets harder and harder to coat the pop with it. I eventually just dumped the powder onto my tongue. Here's a tip ... don't inhale at the same time. Seriously, this is weapons-grade powder and the sour crust in your lungs is not a happy thing. Is there a disease called Pixe Stix Lung?
The Strawberry wasn't quite as interesting to me, except that I have to say that the clear red nipple pop on top was pretty alluring. (Read into that whatever you like.)
In this version the pop is actually the flavorful sour part and the powder is just sweet and fruity. Not bad, but I preferred the tangy zap of the Citrus Craze. As a grown up I find eating this a little cumbersome but I'm pretty sure this would have been my favorite candy as a tween. As a treat for kids, yeah, it's a mixed message, but it's also rather labor intensive to eat and only 120 calories.
For the record, as a kid I didn't buy Pixy Stix or Lik-a-Maid. I would buy cans of lemonade mix or boxes of Jell-O and just eat that by licking my finger and dipping it in there. I don't know why it never occurred to me to use a lollipop.
Note: this product was made in Thailand.
